You are inside Lumber Mall. Trails of looted debris litter the floors and escalators. The building has been extremely heavily barricaded. Also here are Can o' Spam^r+ (50_HP), Zham Bhee^r- (60_HP), Jake Bettermaker^r+ (60_HP), Boxcartbob^r+ (60_HP), Chocolate lobotomy^r+ (50_HP), Mike Heron^r+ (60_HP) and uberdyke^r+ (60_HP).

A portable generator has been set up here. It is running, and powering a radio transmitter that's currently set to 28.01 MHz. The food court has been decorated with a cubist sculpture, a stuffed alligator, a stuffed monkey, an impressionist sculpture and a carved pumpkin.

Somebody has spraypainted All hail the Sons of Chester! onto a wall.

There is a dead body here. It's Dr Helen Fruin^r-.
