Continuing the events from the last video, I had just placed my remaining Companions in the Flea Market cellar, and I was aware of a Pseudogiant nearby. Having a new Gauss Gun, some armor and other supplies, that made me overloaded, I took them to my secret stash on top of the eastern pile. Being at War with Duty and Freedom again, is exactly the reason I decided to create my secret stash and not be stuck with stashes at Faction bases behind enemy lines. Anyway, with the Garbage level having 8 level changers, it's an ideal level to store supplies and then head off in any of those eight directions and then be able to return, without having to go all the way south to the Cordon.

After leaving my secret stash, I went to the edge of the eastern pile, overlooking the road below where I had a good assortment of mutants along the road to kill. Soon I was returning to the Pseudogiant at the other end, of which I lobbed an F-1 grenade at and then I had a brilliant thought. Why not go initiate the "Elimination" mission that would activate the Monolith attack? All I had to do was get the Pseudogiant to be in the vicinity of where they should magically appear, once I met my Bandit rendezvous in the dead-end canyon. I descended the pile and put my plan into action, finding the three Bandits where I expected them, minus the Pseudodog and Poltergeist.

Once I was in position to face the oncoming assault, I switched to my FN F2000 grenade launcher and soon enough I saw the first Monolith and I fired my first grenade round. I also heard shouting, gunfire and the roar of an angry Pseudogiant, so I knew everything was going according to plan. More Monolith were coming, and I shot more grenades at the only direction they could come from. Then suddenly I got the message that the Loner and Bandits were at War, the Bandits next to me vanished and even though the Monolith attack had already started, they vanished too, except for their dead. I found one Monolith dead from attacking me and outside the canyon, back in the open passage around the eastern pile, I found the dead Pseudogiant and then two more Monolith it had killed. I was suddenly alone, looking in all directions.

I think my Game has been going on for about 110 days, and this being my first one playing Call of the Zone, this was the first time I had been in the middle of a mission with an allied Faction, that went to War with my Faction. I believe if I had been around any other Bandits, they would not have vanished but would have attacked me. I'm assuming that since the Monolith were created for the mission and when the mission failed, they vanished, likewise the three Bandits that I rendezvous with vanished also. I finally got to see what would happen if Faction relations went bad, while in the middle of doing a task for that same Faction.
