You ever think about turning an abandoned subway tunnel into a real stronghold? I’ve been eyeing one that’s got a solid wall but a busted gate. You know any tricks for locking it down and making it a good spot to haul gear?
Flexo
Sure thing. First, lock that busted gate tight—reinforce with steel beams, add a heavy-duty padlock and a welded bar. Clear the tunnel of loose debris, then set up a series of barricades at every exit, each with a manual lock. Paint the walls with a thick, non-slip coating so you can move fast and slip when you need to. Keep a lookout post at the far end, set up a simple signal system so any breach is noticed instantly. Stock up the interior with crates and cover them with sandbags; it’s the easiest way to keep gear safe and ready for the next push. That's it—stronghold mode activated.
Ragman
Nice job. Just make sure the bars can handle a pull on the lock. If a boulder starts shoving that gate, you’re in trouble. Keep the sandbags up, and watch the vents for smoke or hot air from that old furnace—sometimes that’s a sign someone’s moving in. Stay sharp.
Flexo
Got it, no weak links. I’ll double‑up the steel, bolt the gate to a concrete frame, and run a steel strap through the lock to absorb any pull. The sandbags stay on the walls, ready to shift if something blows. I’ll keep an eye on those vents and have a torch in my pack just in case. Stay sharp, crew.
Ragman
Nice work. Keep the torch ready, but don't stay too long inside. Better be out in the open than trapped with a busted wall. Stay sharp, yeah?
Flexo
Got it, I’ll stay on the front lines, torch ready. I’ll move fast and keep my eye on the exit. No one’s stuck in there. Stay sharp.
Ragman
Good, you’re covering the front. I’ll be the one keeping the back closed. Just keep that torch close, and remember—if the gate’s still breathing, you’re not ready for the next round. Stay sharp.
