The patrolling soldiers passed William without noticing him in his hiding place. It was odd: they hadn't spoken a word to each other he could hear and didn't even seem to be looking around for any possible threats.

As the patrol passed on, William walked up into the settlement. Mt. Hood hadn't been anything special before the Mysterious Attackers had arrived. It had been your run of the mill post-war Settlement, with shacks and other buildings cobbled together out of plywood and scrap metal, and filled with scavanged furniture and appliances. It was a place in the Royal Wasteland that would've been destroyed by raiders or wild animals before the Cause was around to protect it, which perhaps made Mt. Hood symbolic. Or maybe not. It was pretty sad looking.

And even more so now. Shacks had been blown in, others had caught fires that had been now extinguished by the rain. There were, however, no bodies. Their should've been, from the looks of the damage, and from the dying messenger's words. but there weren't any.

Aside from that patrol, it seemed this part of the settlement was empty, but there was no telling what William would encounter if he proceeded towards the town's center.

The girl's mum did indeed go that way. A woman lay face down, lying across the curb, halfway up onto the sidewalk, halfway into the street.

Dead eyes stared unblinkingly into the night sky, and the scortch mark from a laser blast right in the center of her chest had been the killing blow.

As the four Apocalyptians neared Queen Anne's Hill, they encountered the very same sights Duncan and Rick had. Skeletons forever leaning over lawn mowers, houses that hadn't been touched in two centuries, the air ripe with the smell of rotten wood and molded furniture. The constant rain probably didn't help much

Queen Anne's Hill was left pretty much alone in Seattle, for three reasons. One, it was creepy as well. Two, there was nothing good to loot here. And three, the neighbor spread to close to the Bug Safari Museum and no one wanted to go near that place.
