A scavenger is trying to trade a bundle of salvaged copper wire for ammunition, but the vendor insists the wire is corroded and worth half what the scavenger claims.\n\n\"This is grade-A pre-war wiring!\" the scavenger shouts. \"You're trying to rob me.\"\n\nThe vendor folds her arms. \"It's green. Green means corroded. I'm offering fair price for corroded copper.\"",
