Is heavy metal poisoning a serious post-bloom concern? Take the chelation pills next if that's the case.
Take the grenades. Maybe we can get some tips on how to make our own.
Take two glocks, and empty the ammo from the other four and take those as well.
Then the fouled(?) ammo.
Then the rest of the glocks.
Then the battle rifles.
(Unless the ammo is fine in which case take a battle rifle over the rest of the glocks.
... Alice decides she may as well check the ammo.
Well, the bad news is, there are only NINE cans of ammo instead of TEN.
The good news is, it seems like they were packed with a packet or two of silica gel in between each BOX, and even better, they still have that dusty smell of DESSICANT IN A WATER-TIGHT CONTAINER.
The good news is, that last can wasn't full of ROUNDS or MAGAZINES. It was full of GOLD AND SILVER.
As such, she's prioritizing that, and the TACTICAL ARMOR. This trip will take her a while, but as long as nothing goes wrong, multiple trips should be fine, especially running through the SUBWAYS like she does. The local bosses don't take too kindly to 'poachers', but they're so busy squabbling it's easy to evade them, especially since NONE OF THEM DARE TO GO UNDERGROUND. It's quite literally putting yourself under an AVALANCHE WAITING TO HAPPEN.
For Alice, who can WALK THROUGH SHADOWS, though, it's not much of a problem. And who's really going to go looking through a BASEMENT first?

You look up from what you're doing as about FIVE HUMANS walk into your AREA SCANNING RANGE. They'll be about an hour getting here- even the best terrain here is UNTRAILED and ROUGH GOING. It might be time to take what you've got and GO.
And then A DIFFERENT SQUAD SHOWS UP.
You don't know if they like each other, off the top of your head, but you PROBABLY don't want to be here to find out.
Or you could ask Alice via TELEPATHY, but who knows if she's even IN RANGE right now.
