Rustworld: Billy's Mates

Irma runs the Squeak-Easy, in Rivet City's Grime District, where Rusties come to drink Lube and hang out with their friends.

Things are looking bleak. Gristweed wants her to stop selling Lube and stock his Glube instead. Irma has told him what he can do with his foul-tasting drink. Now Hurt keeps coming in and wrecking the place.

The Rusty who brought thousands of obsolete robots out of the Bewilderness, (as they describe their existence under Gristweed's oppression) to a new life on Rustworld.

Bob’s trying to do a deal with the Zapalonians for a supply of Lube. And Gristweed will do anything to stop him.

Where does he come from? Where does he go? Swarf’s life is a mystery.

Billy trusts him - but should he? Rumor has it Swarf’s been seen sneaking into Gristocorp in the middle of the night.

He’s probably got a perfectly reasonable explanation.

Or has he?
