RIFTS - Loot from the Historic Fortress

@ Steven,

We'll confiscate all of the items we can haul back from the fort. We'll check to make sure that any stolen property (including the pumpkin pick up truck) is returned to the rightful owners. The rest of the items, the "deputies" who assisted in the raid will get first choice of the weapons recovered. The remainder of the weapons can be stored for future use by the Sheriff, or auctioned off with the funds going to the Sheriff's office. If there are unusual weapons (heavy weapons like Flame Throwers, LAWS, mortars, mines, machine guns that can be mounted on a vehicle, etc we'll review those on a case by case basis. If any of the heroes want to lay claim to a (non-stolen) cycle, ATV or Jeep, they may. If multiple people want one, we'll have to have a discussion. If no one else wants the Jeep, I'll take it, have it painted with subdued law enforcement markings, including the low profile light bar etc. and put it into service as a patrol vehicle.

We'll add up the jewelry, cash, art, and other valuables from the cultists, return anything that is stolen, and inventory the rest.
We'll add up the bounties on the cultists and divide the proceeds between the deputies.
If there's any communications gear of any kind, we'll see if we can search their "contacts" or if it's radio gear, see what frequencies the gear is set for or if there are any station pre-sets.
We'll be especially interested in any notebooks, maps, GPS coordinates, etc.

I'll return the rental truck in good order and give them a 15% tip on behalf of the sheriff's department and thank them for their support in upholding law and order.
We'll put the two (new) prisoners in jail.
We'll try to determine how much effort it would take to improve the road from the end of the trail head to the front gate of the old fortress (perhaps the new "Avengers HQ"... haha).
If I have to hire a surveyor and civil engineers and can do so for a modest price (with a small portion of my reward money) I will do so.

Thanking You,
1st Deputy (if that title isn't already taken...)

Melissa Lewis does an inventory of all the vehicles available to the heroes.   Near as I can tell, we have about:

3 to 5 dirt bikes that are working w a couple that are not working
5 (about) dune buggy like vehicles (little more than ATVs)
3 (about) 4WD Jeep like vehicles
1 Panel Like Van/ Truck
1 4WD Pick Up Truck
1 Larger Truck

two mechanics to maintain/ repair them and now we have enough consumables and spare parts to keep them all running.

after our adventure / raid on the bank, we add an even greater amount of spare parts and assemblies to keep our existing small fleet of vehicles running.

add nine (09) suits of dive gear for exploring the underwater 5th level of our own base.
All oxygen tanks and about six reserve tanks are all full and we can refill at Dave Water's Dive Store in the nearby town. Each tanks lasts ten (10) to twelve (12) hours.

Add eight spear guns (for underwater use) and sixty spears.
Add ten (10) underwater head lamps.

Add twelve pristine Large Medical Kits, each with a wide array of drugs, antibiotics, tools, IV equipment, sterile bandages, gauze, burn ointment, etc. Three of these are used to replenish the medical level at the base. Six are held in reserve for future use.

Melissa installs a lockbox in the large truck, the van, and the bed of the pickup and distributes one Medical Kit to each of those three vehicles.

Melissa Lewis leads a team to forward locate supplies in the bank vault in the town that we explored.

The following items are deposited in the vault.

Six (06) AR-15 Rifles, each with 300 rds of ammo and six mags.
Two (02) 12 Gauge shotguns with a total of 50 shells of 00 buck, 12 slugs, 12 bean bag rounds.
Two (02) Springfield Rifles in 30 Cal, bolt action with a total of 100 rounds and 2x to 5x scopes.
Long arms are stored on a purpose built wooden rack.
Four sets of body armor, one Small, two Medium, one Large.
Four ballistic helmets, and four ballistic shields.
Six (06) 9 mm handguns each with 60 rounds, holster, and two mags.
Six weeks of non perishable food rations in easy to carry ruck sacks.
One large pristine industrial Medical Aid Kit - 20 lbs.

Tools, including: three shovels, three picks, three axes, claw hammer, sledge hammer, hack saw, large crowbar, 60 cloth sacks (sandbags), 500 ft of hemp rope, block and tackle, misc hand tools.

10 gallons of water in clean, 1 gallon sealed storage containers w six drops/ gal of silver preservative.
2 gallons of used, but still use able motor oil.
2 scuba O2 tanks, full with mouthpiece.
2 Technician Class hand held field radios with hand crank generator and 30 feet of copper wire.
2 trail bicycles


Thought about positioning two motor cycles and an ATV here, but then we'd have to send a team each six months to refresh the gas and charge the battery so I deleted putting vehicles here.

You could store the motorcycles in there if you just leave Gas in a container and disconnect the batteries.
