You wandered through the orange fog, caused by the nuclear explosion. You felt sick. You had been looking for your group in the haze that blocked most of your view. You had no protective clothing whatsoever, you were just out in the open in the radiation.

You heard the sound of a vehicle coming up behind you on the rocky ground. To your surprise, it was Al in her van. She recognized you in the fog and helped you get into the van immediately. She drove you both out of the dangerous areas so you could rinse the radiation off of you. The only option was in a river, but that was better than anything. She gave you new clothes once you were clean. It was too late to avoid poisoning though. That's why you were so sick. “You were exposed for way too long. You may not make it any longer than a few days.” She said shakily.
