There is a native settlement about one hundred miles away from the Cerberus Redoubt. It has been there since shortly after the nuclear winter ended. The natives have always been wary of whites and they also have a secret. About 100 years before a group ventured into their territory in a huge War Wag. After returning from up the hill, the vehicle ran out of fuel and most of the occupants were massacred by the natives. After getting help from the Cerberus exiles in taking down a roaming bandit gang which kidnapped several of the native women, an uneasy alliance was formed. Kane and Grant helped get the war wag operational once again and they have been working together ever since. The natives even helped them turn back a magistrate force sent from Cobaltville to investigate the redoubt.
