I sit dorment in my cryro-stasis chamber, Sleeping dreamlessly.
-
2 weeks of moving through the waste and still no merchants... I would have at least expected some raiders by now. I could use the extra power cells... [sigh] What am I saying, raider don't carry power cell! And even if they did they'd probably would have stuffed them in a microwave by now... Who knows I might get some luck moving over this hill...
Cry slowly begins to cross over the dust covered hill... And... Nope.
Cry stares over the hill revealing a cluster of active Enclave camps... Well... [reloads rifle] At least theres plenty of ammo...
Cry begins a straight dash toward the camps.
-
The Enclave soldiers move about busilly in the camp, each soldier, officer, and scientist having their job.
In total there are 6 soldiers, 5 scientists, and 2 officers.
They don't notice your approach.
-
[begins to slow at the bottom of the hill]... (Cry moves slowly toward one one of the makeshift Enclave barriers... Crouches below the wall staying out of sight)... Well lets hope this is worth it... [checks his laser rifle]... Only 105 cells left... Best to save them... (Cry stares at an Enclave storage crate place behind the barrier... Cry very slowly moves past the barrier)...
-
Suddenly, an Enclave soldier walks out from behind the barrier, almost stepping on you. He looks at you in surprise, then looks at a wall mounted alarm, then back at you, then back to the alarm. Its as if he is trying to make up his mind.
-
(Cry calmly dashes at the Enclave soldier... The troopers fires off three shots before being tackled to the ground)..."Get off of me waste hound Hel..."(Cry bashes the trooper with the butt of the laser rifle before the trooper finishes his speech... The Enclave soldier goes limp after the force of the rifle smashes into his bug like helmet)..."Well thats one problem averted"...[Cry looks to his left]..."And a new one springs up." (An Enclave scientist can be seen aiming his pistol at Cry)
-
"You face superior weapons and training, waster. Drop your weapons and put your hands up." The scientist tells you with a serious tone.
-
... Wait you think your better... (Cry points at the downed Enclave soldier)... "Tell that to your buddy... On the ground." [slowly begins to stand]... "Hehe... You do realise theres a bigger threat behind you." (Cry points at something behind the scientist... A deathclaw slowly begins to descend from the back hill)
-
The scientist turns around. "Wait, wh-. How did he get out!"
-
(Cry moves out of view as the deathclaw moves through the camp) Well good to see my lucks still holding out. (Cry moves through the camp while the Enclave deal with their pet)..."Wait... Oh no..." (Cry checks his rucksack behind one of the barriers... He looks back at the storage crate)..."Yep... Spoke too soon." (Cry zips up the pack and dashes at the crate)
-
The deathclaw rampages throughout the camp, killing all the Enclave. After it finishes, it roars in triumph and runs out into the wasteland getting the only thing it's ever wanted, freedom.
-
(Cry calmly sits still behind one of the Enclave barriers... He looks out from his position watching as the deathclaw exits the camp) [sigh] My luck may be somewhat good but the loot wasent... (Cry stares down at a pile of spent energy cells and bottles of purified water... He slowly reaches over to retrieve the items) I guess its better then nothing... Got some extra ammo at least. (As he begins his march away from the camp something comes to mind... Cry stares back at the Enclave soldier he knocked out earlier... Hes still alive...) "Curse me and my morales." (Cry walks over... Lifts the soldier over his shoulder... And leaves the camp)
-
As you leave you hear a series of strange beeping noises, and a series of small explosions coming from under the camp. A metal door can be seen with smoke coming out of it and the preasure from the explosions cause it to open. There may be more to this camp than meets the eye. There were alot of scientists at this camp, more than usual.
-
(Cry sets the Enclave soldier down next to a large piece of lumber)..."Now what!?"... (Cry unholsters the laser rifle and slowly moves back up the hill... The camp no longer is left standing but a massive security door can be seen)..."Let me guess more Vault-Tec nonsence." (Cry shruggs and silently creeps toward the large door... Rifle facing forward Cry moves toward a small terminal display screen on the door...)
-
The terminal flashes red and the displays a message. "Base comprimised, connection with lead scientist lost. Self distruct complete." It appears that they were trying to hide something.
-
(Cry steps away from terminal and begins to scratch his head)... I was always told to avoid Enclave facilities... No reason to doubt that now... (Cry turns away from the door... A large burst of air erupts from the door as it opens... Cry is thrown at a pile of wires and cables connected to a makeshift generator... He slowly begin to raise himself from the stack... Out of nowhere a large figure steps into Cry's sight... The Enclave soldier appears to have woken up)... "It never ends does it?"
-
The soldier points his gun at you. "Who are you? What do you want?" He looks around at the bodies of his buddies. "Are you here for him?" He assumes that you killed all of his buddies. "Just dont hurt me and I can take you to him."
-
(Cry steps out of thr stack of cables... He starts to brush the dust off) ..."I have no idea who ~he~ is... Im just looking for ammo." (Cry stares at the now open bunker... He looks back at the soldier holding the gun) "If you have ammo or equipment of any kind I'll take it and be on my way." (Cry looks at the dead Enclave strewn across the camp)"One more thing... try to remember to lock your cages."
-
(Are you ever planning to alow my character to met yours?)
-
(Cry stares at the /"now open bunker"/... Looks back at the /"soldier"/ with the gun)
:)
-
The soldier hurrys off, fearing that what you mean is what he thinks you mean. As you enter the bunker you see that everything has been destroied by the explosions, all but one door. As you inspect the door you see that there is a terminal next to it displaying "open blast doors, Y/N?"
-
"Hmmm yes or no... I'll take yes." (The large blast door begins to pull open)
-
Inside the area is untouched. There are countless documents, but wht really catches your eye is the large cyndrilical chamber at the back of the room. Inside there is a person in full T51-B armor. You look up and nitice that they are giant, at least 8 feet tall, and appears to be sleeping. Beside the chamber is a terminal displaying "Red chineese invasion ditected, launch operation broken arrow Y/N?"
-
"Normally its against my instinct to open a chamber with something big enough to crack my spine in half... But then again I came from a family with gambling issues... I'll take yes" (The chamber darts up with a massive gust of air venting out)
-
The man steps out, he lumbers over you and enters a military attention stance. "BAP designate 154 at your service sir. Objective : The liberation of all U.S. soil. Target : Any and all red chinese invaders, sir."
-
(Cry stares at the large figure with both confusion and excitement)..."Um I don't think there are that many Chinese these days?" (Cry looks back at the open pod... He then stares around the room admiring the tech) "Definitly pre-war stuff but... What are you? No offence. (Cry walks over to one of the many terminals litering the room)
-
Behind my helmet, I slightly raise an eyebrow. "I am BAP desginate 154, and it is my job ,and my 199 brothers and sisters jobs, to liberate U.S. soil from red chinese invaders." I look at you, still confused about your remark. "If I may ask, sir. What year is it?"
-
(Cry continues to prod away at the terminal... He turns his head slightly to face BAP)..."Honestly, I have no clue what year it is. During jobs I learned that time goes by too quick to care... But the terminal says its 2271? I don't work with tech that much but I'll just guess thats right." (Cry finally steps away from the terminal and walks over to BAP) "Honestly the only real question I have... Are you going to break my back or leave me be?.. No offence but having a hulking brute standing close kind of makes me antsey."
-
"2271? They must have forgotten about me... Tell me, sir. Did we win?"
-
"If by winning you mean raining down nuclear hell on everything and everyone... Then yes we won."
(Stares suspiciously at the entrance)
-
"Sounds like a decicive victory" I walk past you, out the door, and climbbthe steps to the outside.
-
..."Its only a victory if someones there to see the positive change behind it... But this wasent exactly a victory... More along the lines of a stalemate." (Cry follows BAP to the exit)
-
I look around at the wasteland, and the bloodied bodies of the enclave. My helmet hides any emotion that I may give, but under it my face shows confusion, everything that I knew is gone, a strange thing to wake up to. "Is it like this everywhere?"
-
"When I said it rained down everywhere I meant "everywhere"..." (Cry adjust his helmet and face mask) "Hey help me with this dang helmet... I think its been loosened... ARGH." (CryWolf attempts to fix the strap with no avail)
-
"Pull on the part coming out of the buckle." I pick up a plasma rifle from the nearest enclave troop and eject the mf cell, I grab one from the ammo supply in my armor and insert it. "Are there any settlements? Any remnants of the U.S. government?" I roll the enclave soldier over with my foot, to make sure he is dead.
-
"Well lets just say they arent exactly what they use to be." (Cry points at the enclave soldier under BAPs boot) "The Enclave can't even finish a sentence without spouting on about the new U.S. government."
(Cry spits into a stack of ruined Enclave gear)
-
"New U.S. government? That could be problamatic."
-
"I'm assuming you know the meaning of an understatement so lets just say its that."(Cry recharges his rifle with an electric cable attached to the generators) "The Enclave took up position knear mostly military structures or bases. Anywhere else is usually used for live fire exercises."(Cry fixes his rifles sights on one of the dead enclave troopers... He lowers the weapon with a hint of irritation) "Unfortunantly one of those exercises included one of my merc groups camps."
-
"It also means that I'm without orders. I was told that in the event of an emergency defrosting I am to report to the nearest U.S. military base. I assume that there arn't any."
-
"Well actually there are several bases left... But like I said their probably Enclave bases by now."
(Cry scratches at a spot under his helmet... He reaches into his satchle and pulls out an old street map of Boston)
"May not be much use, but this map happens to list known army bases in the area... I recommend we head to fort Helio, they say the Enclave use it for their Vertibirds."(Cry folds the map and hands it to BAP)
-
Tyler was confused. For weeks, he'd been carefully plotting the downfall of this Enclave research station. Stealing food, sabotaging radios, even weakening the locks on the death law cages, but then some idiot with an energy weapon charges in and ruins it. Ten minutes later, laser rifle guy has a new best friend, clad in some of the rarest armor in the whole wasteland.
Tyler put his binoculars in his backpack, and turned off his Pip-boy. These two could be important.
Better yet, they could be expensive.
-
Legate Seeva, along with 4th tribune Tiberius are heading down through the rocky terran on the outskirts of the downtown area. along with 6 low ranking legionaries.
Seeva points at two of the legionaries
"you two scout on ahead find some place that looks like we can salvage food ammo and anything else of use from, and somewhere we can hold up for the night that isnt ridden with rad roaches. I would prefer not to travel back through that canyon after dark. if you encounter anything unusual report back to us here immediately, if you get into trouble fire a flare and we will make our way in.
two scouts: "Yes Legate!"
the two scouts head into the down town area and begin their recon of the area.
-
I take the map from you and open it. I scan over it and open up a small compartment on my arm, revealing a mini terminal. I compare the map to the computer, checking the distances and getting a relative location of where we are. "I see what you mean." I fold the map and hand it back to you. "I recomend you get some rest, we can leave for the base in the morning, it is five miles north east of here and should take a while to get there."
-
Five miles indeed.
Tyler crept across the hillside to position himself perpendicular to the group's path.
As they meandered by, Tyler threw a small rock, so that it landed a few feet to the other side of the group. As they turned to look at the source of the sound, Tyler crept right up behind them. He readied his sword and his pistol, hovering inches away from each of their heads.
"Hello, boys." Tyler spoke. The two jumped, but didn't move once they realized the weapons trained on them. "Here's what's going to happen. I'm going to give you thirty seconds to tell me who you are and why I shouldn't play jump rope with your entrails."
"If you move, the giant here gets a bullet express delivered into his skull, and, well, I don't think I need to explain what my sword will do to your neck, wolfie."
Tyler eagerly awaited the answer.
-
Cry smiles intently at te stranger
"Actually heres how its going to go for you. I have a pressure switch in my palm right now, if you look at that stack of Enclave gear we've been lugging around, you can see that I have rigged enough plastic explosives to it to send every single organic being in this pit straight into orbit. The switch I hold is connected to my vitals. In short if I die then you can kiss my sharp grey tail in hell. Lower the weapons or I show you how bright I really can be after a tactical nuclear strike goes off."
Cry folds his arms to reveal the switch attached to his hand.
-
"On the off chance that you are telling the truth, which I don't believe," Tyler lectured, "You may go ahead and blow all of us up."
"And, also, you may be interested to know that I can injure you in many nonlethal, yet extremely painful ways."
Tyler checked his Pip-boy.
"Ten seconds."
-
"Kid I'm a merc... AKA I always have backup... For example if you turn to your left you can see pure black."
A blunt object smashes into the strangers jaw from the left with such force hes thrown into the stack of gear. As he struggles to get himself up another sharp blow is made to his forehead.
"Thanks for the sword and extra ammo raider. Now do me a faver and tell me how this feels!"
Out of nowhere more mercs in the same uniform as Cry pin the stranger to the ground... Cry injects the stranger with a tranquilizer and drags him away.
-
the two scouts had been watching this from afar in a ruined building through there binocs and one of the scouts headed back to infrom the rest of his team.
-
I raise my rifle slowly in anticipation, unsure of the strqngers that surround me, and pondering how the little man on the floor ever managed to sneak up on me.
-
Cry looks at the group of mercs with an impatient look. "Explain to me how you guys never seem to show up when things are calm!?" One of the mercs looks up from the group and walks to Cry. "First of all we just got here after days of looking for your sorry hide... And personally if we didnt club that raider he probably would have wasted you."
Cry stares at the stranger. "Is he unarmed now?" The merc turns to look but stops mid way. "Well considering the guy was hostile... What do you think? We're going to take this raider scum back to the base camp and try to get some intel off him." As the merc speaks Cry walks to the stack of gear and sits down. "Are you certain that hes a raider?" The merc shakes his head. "As far as I'm concerned if someone holds two strangers at gun point for no reason then their nothing but raider scum!"
-
It is late at night and Kain and his guards set up camp for the night and build a small fire enough for them to get and but not big enough for them to be seen from a distance. Kain hears gun shots and a scream in the distance and leans over to his guards and says
"This world is messed up I wonder if it was like this before the bombs dropped also?"
One guards replied "I don't suppose so; but that's just how life is deal with it, out here only the strong survive. I thought if any one new that you would Kain."
Kain replied "I don't think that's how it works their is something else something that makes certain people live or out live others if only the strong survive then why aren't the death claws running the world I mean yea their the most deadly thing out here but people can still kill them. I don't know what it is but I've been thinking about it for a long time now."
Another guard jumps in and says " well I don't know about you but not even a death claw can kill me I'm the biggest baddest guy in the entire wasteland and no mere weakling would ever lay a scratch on me."
Kain replied "OK mister Big and bad you take the first shift make sure we don't get robbed ... or killed switch every 2 hours." (they hear another scream this time from a women and then a couple minutes later a crying pup after finding his mother dead."
Kain order 2 guards to come with him this troubled him they set out toward the direction the cry came from and found a small wolf pup and his dead mother Kain said cover me and raised his gun as he was moving toward the pup making sure whoever did this wasn't still around Kain approached the child and noticed he was shot in his chest and about to pass out Kain took the child back to the camp and cleaned the wound out with some whiskey then gave the child a stem-pack patched the wound and gave the kid some med X to ease the pain and asked who did this to him and his mother. but the child past out.
The next morning when the pup woke up and saw that he was snuggled up to a man he never shall before he screamed and backed away and then Kain said' "calm down i helped you we found you last night who hurt you who hurt your mother." the pup started tearing up and said it "was was (sniffle) my dad he (sniffle) killed her and shot me he just didn't want us to struggle."
"I'm so sorry for you I would like you to stay with me if that is ok seeing as how you don't have anyone to take care of you and I've all-ways wanted a son what is your name?"
He replied" I'm Kurt and thank you so much for all you have done for me thank you I will stay with you."
Kurt tried to walk but his wound hurt to much and he fell to the ground then kain swooped him off his feet and on to his shoulders and they headed off to the next camp to trade their wares.
-
On the way to the camp, they came upon a lone wanderer. He appeared to be a grown male wolf merc who had light blue battle armor detailed in black. He was carrying an automatic assault rifle over his shoulder and an intricate blade on his right thigh as well as a supply bag on his back. The wanderer soon took notice of them and beckoned them over. When they drew near the wanderer shouted. "Do not be alarmed, I mean you no harm. My name is Ajax," he said. "why are you traveling alone?" asked Kain.Ajax soon told him that he had left his faction for a more noble cause because their thirst for blood grew too great, and they started attacking anybody they came across. Ajax continued,"I seek to join a group who is more pure and I ask you if I can tag along. I have some spare med X as well as ammo as I am trained in both assault rifle combat as well as blades and I offer my services to you."
-
Kain looked at ajax head to foot then looked at his wares they were low on supplies but they had a nice amount of camps to restock. Kain thought it over can he trust this wolf who stands he before him. He thought he could but instructed his guards to keep an eye on him with out Ajax knowledge Kain replied yes when we get to the next camp we will show you the ropes but we help each other out here if someone needs something from you please do your best to help them out and you can expect the same from us you will get 1 tenth of the money like the rest of the guards. I get 3 tenths so I can take care of Kurt and the livestock the rest is used for supplies and bartering money. Welcome aboard we have 3 rules No stealing Don't kill each other and look out for one another.
-
I agree to these terms, Ajax said. I have 1200 caps saved up but I know you will need it more. There is only one thing that must remain in my possession, a blue pendant. It is very dear to me. Other than that I will do what I can for the group, as my skills are great and my combat style ferocious, but my heart is kind an pure. Ajax handed over the supplies he had and noticed the little boy. He had a look of sadness. Kain asked him what that was about. I can't answer that right now, but I ask if I can be a personal bodyguard to you an the boy?
-
"It would be great to have some one who can hold their own up close in a fight,and also have another gun around to scare off raiders and thieves. I can hold my own in a fight but it would never hurt to have some extra protection for Kurt. So yes I will allow it"
Kain knows that the path ahead is dangerous but maybe with this new guy they wont run into as much trouble maybe... The group pushes on ahead and engages in some small talk about how this use to be an old prewar highway and how the small towns around are home to rad roaches and gangs some friendly and only seek to help out the people near by them. yet some who only have self interests.
around noon the group stops for a break and some food to eat they gecko steak and some trail mix as Kain checks Kurt's wound. it stop bleeding and should start to heal as long as it doesn't reopen. Kain thought about what would happen if he were to die what would happen to Kurt so he decide at the next camp he will teach little Kurt how to defend himself if anything were to happen. Kurt asked him why he had a sad look on his face. Kain replied its nothing i was just think. trying to change the subject Kain said we should get to the camp by night fall and if you like I can show you something really cool its a secret spot my mother use to take me to when we passed through this way. Kurt replied That be great what is it? Kain replied its a cave lite up completely green and blue I think you will like it. COOL!! replied Kurt as he hoped up from sitting and grabbed Kain's hand. This brought joy to Kain it is like Kurt was his own.
-
Ajax looked up from his spot and noticed the two heading out. At first he was happy for the two but he remembered why he wandered alone and why he changed how he used to be. He grabbed the pendant around his neck in his paw and thought back to that day...
It was a typical day in his old town. He was with his love who he was with since he could remember and their young son. He had given his son a pendant and told him it would give him great strength and courage wherever he was and whatever he was doing. The family was headed to the trader when the town was suddenly attacked by a group of marauders. They started burning homes and killing people. Ajax took his family and went to find a safe place. However, in the confusion and panic he had lost his wife and son. He ran to what was left of the armory and searched and in the back found a blade. When he was about to leave a plank fell and rendered him unconscious. When he awoke it was silent. He ventured outside to find everything he had once known gone. He walked around and came across three mauraders and struck them down. He looked off in the distance and saw them... His wife lay dead next to their son, who was struck down protecting her. He fell to his knees, put them in his eyes and cried. He failed to protect them. Ajax gave his family a proper burial and was about to set off on his journey, when he saw the pendant on the ground. He put it around his neck and set off to get vengeance.
Ajax looked back at Kain and Kurt and knew his mission was to protect those two. He got up and told Kurt he would watch the camp until they returned, and the two went off.

(I don't wish to be mean, but...
If you could please use quotation marks when you or an NPC you control talks... That'd be great.)

I try to, but there was no speech in that, just actions

They arrived at the spot that Kain talked about and Kurt fell in love with it. The cave a an odd green glow to it that was on all the walls and a small pool with the water glowing blue. He wanted to run around but didn't have enough energy in him to do so.
Kain told Kurt the a story about how Kain's father ran out on him and his mother and how his mother ran the caravan that Kain runs to this day how she died by raiders and all his adventures and how he escaped slavers and even killed a death claw some things where exaggerated to add effect but mostly true. Kurt started to open up to Kain and tell him about his life how he worked for his father who was gun smith Kurt couldn't make a gun by any means but he would get things for his father and other minor tasks. Until one day raiders came and ransacked the town no deaths or anything just robbed the town blinded and from then on Kurt and his family struggled and struggled most weeks lucky to get a meal this made Kurt sad talking about it and started to cry and hugged Kain thrusting his head into Kain chest. Kain was surprised at first but then he wrapped his arms around Kurt and attempted to cheer him up.
Once Kurt stopped crying Kain gave him a 10 mil and some ammo for it he showed him how to load how to take the safety off and how to shoot it and gave him a short talk about how its not a toy and once you pull the trigger you can’t take the bullet back. He told him to only use it if he was in danger Kain also gave Kurt a baseball hat to wear. After that they decided to set up for the night back with the rest of the group. Kain told everyone that in the morning they will set up shop and then after a day or 2 they will be off again. Kain took Ajax off to the side and said "I want you to shadow me tomorrow see how I do business I’ll send everyone else to get supplies."
-
Ajax nodded and said," You won't even know I'm there." The next day Kain went to go barter for supplies while Ajax watched from a distance. He noticed how Kain was using his skills to barter for the supplies they needed. When Kain was done, Ajax regrouped with him and said," nice job." the two traveled back to the camp, Ajax started wondering where the group was headed. But he figure he shouldn't ask, not yet anyway and the group went off.
-
Kain pulled Ajax off to the side as the group was traveling and told him that where they where going is close to a an old nuclear testing site and there is a lot of ghouls on the road ahead and he would like it if Ajax could teach Kurt the basics of swordsmanship. Kain told Ajax about how he taught Kurt how to shoot. Ajax understood the need for Kurt to protect himself and graciously accepted. kain thanked him greatly and they pushed on.

After several hours of hiking Cry and BAP arrive at a small mercenary camp. The camp is bustling with activity as the merc's work to pack up the camp.
"You guys running or something? I thought we were heading to Boston?"
One of the merc's reacts to Cry's question. "Didn't you hear? Boston is Enclave central now, ain't no one bothering to head there anymore."
Cry struggles to ponder the news he's been given. "I thought the Brotherhood of Steel had control over Boston? That radio message we got last week was pretty clear?" The merc wipes off his face in frustration and turns to Cry. "Look, the Brotherhood bailed out without going through with the deal. We're pretty much low on caps and ammo... I don't know what plans you had but we're heading to Washington to trade."
Cry shakes his head and heads over to his tent.
