After telling the information to the old man he gets up, reminds you to aim for the bucket if you need to throw up and says he'll be back to see if any kin made it out.
You already know that you don't have anything in the way of kin nearby, but you had a lot of friends in New Manhattan. (The town was named after the city, but has nothing to do with it otherwise.)
Mostly humans, though there was one dwarf you really liked, Durak Dirtsniffed. If anyone could survive a nuke it'd be him, with his underground bunker. If it was a nuke. Any nukes that were left in this world were detonated during the war. Whatever went off above the town had the destructive equal of a nuke at least.
You need to find out more about this.
The old man comes in, looking grim. He silently removes the Iv drip (marked with a sticky note that says Rad-away) and then ushers you to follow him.
You force yourself out of bed, feeling better, but that doesn't say much. You take a minute to compose yourself and then follow the old man.
You try to ask if anything's been found. He says yes, but he keeps his grim demeanor.
The man and you arrive outside, and go to the building on the other side of the street. You have by now given up on questioning the man as he remains silent.
When you both enter, he finally speaks again:
Right, we managed to find someone who knows you, but he got hurt bad. I don't like giving this kind of news, but we're short-staffed with all the wounded. Speaking about wounded, I think i hear one of 'em screaming. And with that, he runs off.
You enter the house and see exactly who you hoped and expected. Durak , of course, survived. You walk up to him and take a look at his wounds.
His great brown beard got a bit scorched and you see the brahmin dung he keeps in his mustache is gone as well. All in all, you don't see what the old man was talking about....
Then you notice his right leg. Everything from the knee down is gone. You gasp in surprise. The wound looks well-cared for, but still.....
He's still unconscious. What do you do now?
