Added 2025-09-15 18:18:07 +0000 UTCBelow is a new scene I wrote that takes place in chapter 16 only if you have a radio room built. Since you get to pick the radio operator, the example below is showing Woody as the radio operator. And since you may have different relationships with Thelma's gang, I wrote below as if you are allies with them.

You stand with Jaime and Rachel near the hood of an old truck, a map spread across the metal. Jaime taps a calloused finger on the contour lines of the valley while Rachel leans in, one hand braced on the hood, her other shading the paper from the afternoon glare.
The door of the main house creaks open. Footsteps crunch across the gravel. Woody walks over, the radio handset dangling from his hand. He scratches his beard, glancing uneasily between you, Rachel, and Jaime. "Thelma just came through on the radio. She’s talking about puttin' together trade with other groups and asked if we’d want to come back to the Funride Amusement Park for it." He clears his throat, frowning. "Trading in a place built for funhouses and roller coasters sounds adventurous."
Jaime leans over the map again, his finger pressing near the mark for the amusement park. "If Thelma is reaching out to us, then she's showing trust. The Red Mambas have treated us fairly, and working with them could make that bond stronger."
Rachel folds her arms across her chest and studies the map. "The setting is not ideal, but allies are in short supply. If they are offering trade, then we should at least hear what they have to say."
Jaime looks at you and nods. "It feels like an opportunity that we can't ignore."
