This encounter takes place around the wastes of New Jersey, the PC's are called in by the Mutant Underground to help escort a very special cargo. They'll be meeting an armored currier/guardsmen transporting a much needed plague serum to the main Jersey city state. Where it will be used by several up lifted mutant species to control a bio plague that has been released on to the general populace by a Black Knight operative working within the city state.
At least that's the story that John the mutant rat humanoid  MU contact that speaks with the characters. He's offering the PC's one major artifact, a map with scavenging rights to a rich set of ruins just outside the former city of  Atlantic City. In addition to 300 gold pieces in cash.
The players are to meet the courier knight in power armor Mercy and her climate controlled serum vault. Mercy is wearing standard old army power armor and armed with an assault rifle, heavy stunner, and several other weapons systems. She's friendly outgoing and completely professsional. She makes some small chitchat but is every inch the 4th level fighter in her armor.
  
The route to the city state through the wasteland will be frought with some heavy encounters and Mercy will save the PC's to try and prevent damage to them.

The PC's are actually to be he little ones first meal and are to be kept alive as the PC's are going to used to hide several egg sacs within the party's remaining still living corpses . They will serve Eros far better this way and will have a purpose that few in the wasteland can experience.
