You head out into the night and decide to set your sights on exploring the Pebble Petrol Station in the far southern reaches of Salvage Keep. Upon arriving, you see that this was one of the last sights of civilization for a long while. Beyond it, there seems to be nothing but many, many miles of barren ground and a very faded road shooting off into the far distance. Where it goes, you can only guess, but you'd never try taking that long road on foot...

From the outside, there hasn't been anything going on here for ages. There are a few rusted vehicles here that looked like they were intended to be serviced here, only they never left the garage and now this is their final resting place. Meanwhile, weeds and other low-maintenance vegetation have taken over. As for the gas station itself, it appears it's been many decades since any last vehicle came here for a refueling, back in a time when motor vehicles were still functional. Now, after the cataclysm, anyone would be very hard-pressed to find a fully functional vehicle consider fuel is incredibly scarce the fully functional parts are extremely rare. In addition, any drop of fuel that might have been left over was long siphoned out of these pumps ages ago.

The exterior doesn't seem to have anything of value, but toward the back left side of the building where two rusted trucks lay forgotten about, you find something seems out of place. One of the old, rusting vehicle hoods looks like it was placed over something else, and when you move it away, you find the entrance to a bunker. However, it's locked, and it seems pieces of it are missing. You see there's a slot for a key, but there's also a belt-fed lock mechanism that requires some kind of ring or bracelet-shaped object to power it. Oddly enough, it almost looks like whatever is used to power this belt-fed mechanism must cursed or corrupted, as the belt key has several unnatural burn marks in it that don't look like they were caused from fire or friction...

{Reinforced Bunker: <Repair>, Bunker Key Slot, Bracelet Slot} has been noted in the Team Records.

You decide to move the vehicle hood back, fairly certain this petrol station isn't as abandoned as you might think it is. But you don't want to make anyone aware you were here recently and their activities might be compromised because of it.

You head inside to search the rest of the petrol station, but all you really find are tools and pieces of equipment that are far too rusted and worn down to be worth retrieving. There also seem to be many tires crumbling to pieces here, corroded tubes and wires, dirty bottles of chemicals and oil that have expired ages ago, and other similar signs of junk that's no longer usable.

You decide to head back to base, wondering what exactly that bunker might be hiding...
