The aftermath of the battle was gruesome. The 10K Maniacs were slaughtering people like animals that get slaughtered. Flapjacks was backed into a corner, but held Barker hostage. Duke made a deal with her, letting her and her surviving men leave with use of an SUV, if she released Barker. Lithium thought this was all a ruse and opened fire at Flapjacks’ SUV as it was leaving, but no one backed her up and Flapjacks drove over her with the car. Duke stabilized her, but it sent him through the Maelstrom. While there he learned from a two-faced deer with the voice of Keith David that The Zones do not grow but with the artifacts, their phenomena are spreading outside their borders. Indeed, it has been said that with the artifacts, humans can eventually turn the whole Earth into a single, vast Zone.
Barker made a break for it but Want and Duke went after him, leaving Lithium beind and engaging in vehicular combat. Barker said he’d take Duke to the facility and get his daughter in exchange for Lithium (which some of the group wanted to do), but tt this point, Want brained him with a tire iron.
The group decided to go the Facility and utilize the old Chewbacca Ruse. Lithium also realized that no one else could understand her mutliple movie references. She also didn't know why even she knew them. Weird shit. Lithium used In-Brain Puppet Strings and commanded Barker to take them there on threat of death.
A small party (Duke, Lithium, Want) proceeded to the facility. Avoiding a bandit attack, they made camp in an old diner. Lithium found a strange clay ball called an itcher. She determined it was not soap by tasting it. She's still not sure what it does.
The group made it to the gates of the Facility which Barker got the open. He then ran inside and told the guards to open fire, which was a dumb ass move because Lithium immediately exploded his brain. Duke gunned it for the closing gates and managed to jam the SUV, which wrecked it but got them inside. However, the guards are now closing in on them.
