When last we left the runaways, Bastion, the secret identity of Apex the Wild Men, Louise

the scavenger, Alvin the mechanic and Cynthia the nurse, they were wrapping up their business

in town before taking on the family, all the while Cynthia's split personality in the

form of S72 attempted to leave Riverside in a bid to free Dave, an institute scientist

who is currently in the custody of the family. After a talk with Bastion and Point Men,

Cynthia returned to Riverside without much hassle. The following day Louise's sister,

Chris, arrived in town and after a tense confrontation with the other members of the group,

and a heartfelt reunion with her older sister. Promising to help with our progress

situation, Chris narrowly bested, Chris was therely bested in a shooting contest and

treated Louise to a free coffee, with less than 24 hours remaining before the archers

show up. How will the runaways use their time? Find out now on tonight's episode of Gateway

as Chris piggybacks you down to the coffee shop, leaving the three of you assumedly behind,

unless you would like to follow along, what would everybody like to do?

Oh man, picking splinters out of my skin. I'm helping him pick splinters out of his skin while

staring at the tree. It's like in a cartoon where the coyote runs into the cactus, it's like that.

He mentioned that exact same thing, every time I pull to one of you, it's just going,

going to spend time surfing the radio channels to see if she overhears anything on any frequency.

All righty.

Are you looking for, like, family chatter, specifically?

Uh, yes.

Anything that might give us information about, like, what they're planning, why anyone from the Institute is there,

any information regarding what we're about to walk into?
