How's St. Isidore's looking, Devrij?
And yeah, mall search rates are much better, particularly if you have the shopping and bargain hunting skills. That's why a mall makes a great base of operations.
By my count, that's 5 shooters, 4 of which have toolkits. That's a good force for clearing and repairing a building - what about scientists? Do we have anybody who either already has syringes, or has the necessary skills and is willing to start searching Latrobe for syringes once we reclaim it? Anybody who's going to fill this role - see if you can grab a generator and fuel so that as soon as we repair it, you can power it. It'll make searching a lot faster. Don't worry about the genny and fuel adding to your encumberance - you'll be putting them down before you search out syringes, anyways.
