You make a show of considering it. "You've got a point... But," The gun in your hand barks as you pull the trigger, and the other convict's head explodes in a plume of gore. "You just ring all of my Stranger Danger warning bells."
The room is silent as the now-headless corpse of the other convict leader slowly topples over. Honestly, the guy wasn't even wrong- You'd be better off with more people working for you than otherwise, even if the person making that case was sketchy as fuck. You step forward, and gesture towards the now cowering rival gang.
"Now, allow me to make my offer. I'm the Boss, and you all work for me. Be part of my gang, do what I want, or you end up like good old Stranger Danger here."
There is silence for a moment, before one of the rival gang members responds. "You know, I never liked Steve anyway."

With that taken care of, your newly enlarged gang sets to work scouring the bunker for anything useful. There's almost nothing in the way of food- A couple of beat up old vending machines that get torn open, and the contents of one abandoned lunchbox that smell like they've gone a little off- but the armory is full of guns and ammo, and the bunker is secure enough that you're pretty sure a handful of people could keep it secure against most things.

Near the end of the scavenging, one of your underlings taps you on the shoulder. "Uh, Boss, you're going to want to see this."
You're led to the top of the facility, where a small garage holds... Your eyes must be playing tricks on you, because those look an awful lot like Dahl jet fighters.
"They ain't working." You turn, and see the bodybuilder you came with. "They must have been brought in for repairs, because they've all got parts damaged or missing, and at some point all of the electronics systems got torn out, so there's no way to run 'em. They've still got working engines, though."
"... And you know this because?"
The big guy laughs. "I was a mechanic, before the authorities traced a few less-than-legal aftermarket modifications back to me. Anyway, I think I could probably fix these puppies up, if I had the parts- The tools are all here- but I've got no idea where to get those. If I can get these up and running, though..."
You can imagine- though obviously, it's just an 'if'. And... "I'm a bit more concerned with food. We don't have enough to last a week."
"Shit, really?" He whistles through his teeth. "Well, still- if you find any electronics, or busted up vehicles for salvage, could you bring 'em back here? Because that'd be great."
Yeah, sure.

Congratulations, you have acquired a base of operations.
A base of operations needs to be staffed by a certain minimum number of people to remain secured. A secured base can resist and repel attacks from rival gangs, wildlife, and other aggressors, but if a base is left unsecured, a rival gang can simply walk in and take it over. Leaving human resources on staff beyond the minimum requirements grants an additional defense bonus.
A base of operations provides a safe place to manage several types of operation from. Operations take three major forms- Scouting, Offensive, and Diplomatic.
Scouting operations gather information about the local area, rival groups, and resources nearby.
Offensive operations attack specific targets to damage opposition or gather resources.
Diplomatic operations allow you to form treaties or alliances with rival groups, or take them over.
An operation must be managed by a Hero unit. Additional Hero units provide bonuses to the operation.
Congratulations, you have acquired a specialist.
Specialist units provide access to a new resource, or a new way of utilizing resources, beyond what could be performed by untrained labor. Specialists can still be used as general Human Resources, if necessary.
