Claretha is a scientist, not a soldier, but that hasn't stopped her from heading out with the Surface Army in search of a supply of nickel. That means going to the heapwoods, a forest where all the wildlife and wild robots rely on nickel. The only way to survive is to bring machinery, vehicles and weaponry, the very things that attract waylaying robots. Can they make it out of the heapwoods with the nickel they need?
