| Three randomly placed shop sites in Rampart | fast food | Food ration, 5 Au each |
Finding and buying
Explore and read the shop signs to discover fast food for city travel. All three branches offer the same service; the travel menu has one fast-food destination, not separate names for each branch.
Accept the purchase prompt and enter a quantity. The full order must be affordable. The buckets enter your inventory as food rations; buying them does not feed you immediately. Their unidentified appearance is a red and white striped bucket, and the shop calls them "Lyzzard Buckets".[1]
Food for travelling
Each ration weighs 20 and adds eight points of food when eaten. For scale, the ordinary hourly hunger check consumes one point. Special effects and travel actions can change how long provisions last, so this is not a guarantee of eight hours in every situation.
Eating beyond the food limit makes you vomit and leaves you hungry. In particular, immediately eating a ration after a full meal at the Diner exceeds that limit. Carry the bucket for later instead.[1][2][3]
Strategy
Buy a reserve before leaving town. Five Au per ration makes a few buckets affordable even with a small purse; buying ten costs 50 Au but adds 200 weight. Adjust the quantity to the journey and your other equipment instead of filling the pack indiscriminately.
For immediate hunger, compare the Diner's 25 Au meal with the amount you need to eat. For an eligible member of the Order, a return visit provides a free meal, though portable food remains useful away from headquarters. The fast-food shops are especially convenient when daytime equipment shops have closed.
Trivia
The military-titled Sonder, the "Rampart-fried" name, and red-and-white takeaway buckets together suggest a parody of Colonel Sanders and Kentucky Fried Chicken. KFC's own history[4] identifies Sanders as its Colonel and dates its original bucket to 1957.
The restaurant's name stays "Commandant Sonder's" even when the Legion has a different commandant. The supplied record names that office-holder "Sonders", with a final s; do not use the fast-food sign to identify the current Legion leader.[1]
