Week 4: The Mills Have Eyes
Corpse Town continues to develop; new settlers arrive everyday from Cog-Port bringing with them equipment and material to build the settlement. The Old Corpse Town Brewery is now back online filling the temporary bars and watering holes with cheap booze, providing the towns people with a source of entertainment: either drowning their sorrows or watching the spontaneous nightly gunfights in the streets.

With this in mind, the gangs strike out into the industrial sector, not realising that the area may not be as abandoned as they have been led to believe…
