You got off the bus at the station near the warehouse district and followed the instructions on your GPS to a nearby storage facility. Once there you head over to a large locker marked with the number you had been given. "Yep, looks like this is the place." you note as you fish a keycard out of your purse and swipe it through the reader. With a soft ding the locker clicked open and you pulled away the door to find yourself staring at a small armory.

The top shelf was lined with molotovs, incendiary grenades and matches while the bottom of the locker contained a compact flamethrower with a nozzle extension sitting right beside it. "Well well now, what do we have here?" you grin as you pick up the flamethrower and check its fuel tank. "It's full and I've got an extra in here just in case... plus a nozzle extension that'll probably boost the range of this little beauty by at least 30 feet. Nice."

After stocking up on what you could carry you notice a small paper note on the top shelf and quickly unfold it. It contained instructions on how to get to the pot farm without being seen from the storage facility. There were a few different options, but each posed some sort of risk. After deciding what path to take you head out the back door around the storage facility guards and took cover behind a nearby delivery truck while they passed by.

Once the area was clear again you moved to a nearby stone wall and carefully moved through a few thick bushes to a large gap that had been knocked out of it. It was a bit difficult to climb over with the flamethrower in hand but you managed to get through without making a single sound. You were now in a large grassy lot filled with a few small trees and vines growing along the sides of the wall. From here you would have to choose your path carefully to get to your target.

According to the note the building next to the lot's main gate was abandoned and connected to the warehouse itself, but was likely patrolled by guards. The second direction you could go was through a small hole in the wall of the far side of the lot, which would take you directly to the warehouse. It was the quickest route, but also lacked cover, which would make you easier to spot. Lastly, you could open a manhole cover in the corner of the lot and travel though the sewer. This was probably the safest and stealthiest route, but also the dirtiest and ran the risk of damaging some of your supplies.

Which way should you go?

You have the following choices:

*Noteb*
1. Through the abandoned building

*Noteb*
2. Through the hole in the wall

*Noteb*
3. Through the sewer

*Noteb* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
