//TRANSMISSION START//
Helloooo, ADVENTURERS!! Welcome to another morning in beautiful Apoc Springs! I'm your radio host sitting atop the badlands in my luxury unbreakable zeppelin, Fawn!
What's that I see in the distance!? Is that the train of heroes? Yes it is!! Pulling in to dock at Terminus, the tech-righteous city we all hate, anyway, let's go back to out regularly scheduled program! *An old western story begins to play.*
//TRANSMISSION LOST//
Rules:
1. No God modding
2. You can't easily get into any of the cities, unless your affinity is high there
3. You earn affinity by being an idol citizen in any of these cities, except for the 'McCreamy Cillivaan' City
4. If you are a merc traveling to Terminus, then you know nothing about Apoc Springs
Cities:
*North
Terminus- The tech-savy city, but it is extremely fortified, but offensive is very much lacking there, so offensives from them would most likely fail. The leaders of this city do send mercs out to remove every futuristic tech from anyone they have suspected may have something, and even if they don't then they are ordered to kill those they met anyway.
*East
Servo(aka. Server City)- Servo is extremely well hidden, but they do draw water from the ocean they are near. Servo is only known since an escapee from there spoke of mechanical beasts and cybernetic abominations. Servo's citizens are tech experimenters and power(electricity) fiends as they worship their blessed power and anything that houses electricity.
*West
Lady Liberta Palace- After the fallout, a bronze statue fell and was converted into a information hub, and although it has terrible defenses, their offensive game is extremely strong.
Radio Nulifiy Station and Zeppelin dock- The place where Fawn the radio host lives and docs his zeppelin, Jenny.
*South-West
The Badland Grille- Located on the border of the refugee city of McCreamy Cillivaan. It serves as the City workers' break time leisure area.
McCreamy Cillivaan- A city made up of old scrap fallen jet planes after the nuclear fallout and housing old and young former mercs for Terminus after they were 'discharged' and told that they could never return home.
*South
The Badlands- Extremely irradiated, but it is possible to live there... at the cost of a few mutations.

Forgotten Space Station-
Atop the world floats a dilapidated space station, long forgotten over time, this station still holds a survivor.
Through the station, matured female voice rings, "Richard? Richard? I can't see you on my cameras... where are you?" Felicity Prime bellowed, searching for her only friend on this station, "Richard?... d-did you die?... oh no...", she was now getting worried, as she did since Richard was the only one who truly treated her well. Until Richard would respond, she would remain silent.
Throughout the station were intercoms, all directly connected to Felicity Prime.
Terminus- Train en-route to Terminus
On an intercom, a cheery voice came online, "Heh-heyy, kiddies! I see that you've been selected to be... Apoc Spring's Heros!!... sadly you aren't but you could be!... that is if you follow my every command! So, when the train pulls into the station, head for the giant building in city square! Can't miss it! See ya then, kiddies!~", the intercom shut off and calming elevator music came on, playing idly in the background.
-
The Badlands-
While the sun was overhead, the smilodon wore sunglasses to traverse the radiated land. Collecting scrap for his settlement that, by now, was far away. Exhaling, he bent down and picked up a few wires that he fished out of a small pond. They at the very least looked salvageable, and maybe he could get some running power in the shack he called home. Thanks to his resistance to radiation, but not a complete resistance, living here in the badlands was ideal for him. Growing his own food with what little he could steal from the edges of the other biomes, even if it was a long trip back and forth.
And even if the animals he could catch over time were irradiated, cooking the meat usually got most of the radiation out. Fuchsia paw pads leaving tracks in the dirt, the cream fur around his toes were nearly blackened. Bathes were few and far between since finding water to boil then bathe in would only make them run out of drinkable water faster. The only clothing he bore were ripped jean shorts, the pockets still in good enough shape to carry seeds he could pick up along the path he were traversing. When coming to a fork in the path, he decided left over right this time. See if his snare caught anything for tonight's dinner. At feeling the sun beating down on his back, he exhaled, hoping to find at least a small puddle from the recent rain.
The edge of the badlands was a rather peculiar place, where a nearly glowing biome meets the edge of a teeming forest. Out of which small animals came to be caught in traps and dragged back to the village in which he lived with others who had their fair resistance to radiation. Fortunately for him when he came upon the snare, it had caught something larger this time. The poor deer looked as if it had been lying dead here for at least a few hours. Meaning the meat was still fresh. Gently scratching his leg before he set down the scrap, he bent down and undid the snare around its leg. Having to sacrifice at least most of the scrap to carry the deer back. Before he would pick it up, he shoved the wiring in his pocket as well as the solar panel pieces in his other three pockets. Not wanting to lose what he could gather for electricity.
Finally he hoisted the deer up into his arms and started a fast walk back toward the village, following his own footprints. It took approximately an hour and a half getting back, since even with his fast walk, the deer's weight slowed him down considerably. When arriving at the village, other scruffy looking predators looked excited for him to have brought back some meat. It was awhile since their last good meal, and having been so fortunate to catch something so big would be a good night for them. Leaving the carcass to four of the others, he would let them prepare and get it over a fire. Exhaling sharply, Alistair would return to his shack and look over his belongings. Rubbing his face roughly before he would take off the scratched up sunglasses and set them on the cot made out of metal piping and deer skins. In the little shack was a small chest for his belongings, upon opening it were other wires of the same material and a few other pieces of solar panels. Taking the pieces out of his pockets, he put them in and closed it again.

Forgotten Space Station
Richard smiled as he heard his closest friend on this ship call to him. He smiled, despite being frightened slightly by the loud intercoms.
"Felicityyyyy?!" He'd call back with a smirk, quickly putting on a black tank top and exiting into an open area of the station.
-
Forgotten Space station
Felicity Prime gave a smile to herself, heating Richard over the comms, "Richard? Good, you're still alive... can you come to my core please? I'd like to see you instead of through these broken cameras you set up.", when she had heard Richard's voice, the whole station seemed to light up in excitement.
-
The Badlands-
Exhaling after they had closed the moderately sized chest, they rubbed their eyes and took a moment to look around the shack they lived in. Everything looked decent from his point of view, and every so often at night he would see a station orbit in the moonlight. Often times he thought about trying to salvage enough scrap to make a device to get a note or something of the sort up there, but he often doubted that he would ever get his paws on something nice enough for it. It always seemed like he had to go further and further for technology scraps, although he didn't consider going south of the village; or east or west. Deadpanning at the fact that he always went north, he dragged a paw down his face and muzzle, making a mental note to try in different directions the next time it was his turn to go out.
At the very least he wasn't the only scrap collector, it was often three others who headed in the same direction that he did. But as of late it was just him going out on his own, villagers falling ill from fatigue and a lack of steady food and water was common around here. For a moment he stayed on his knees, and prayed for better supplies; better salvages. And maybe even plumbing in due time. Upon standing, they peeked out of the hole in their scrap-wood door; watching as the villagers tended to the weak with drinkable water and bits of the deer that was brought back. There were even cubs in this village, scrappy little predators coming from all kinds of backgrounds.
It made him smile just a little to know that things weren't always as bleak as he made them seem. Exiting the shack, he lent around the corner to check the position of the sun and his crops. Squinting even in the littlest of sunlight he figured it was only a matter of hours before sun down, thankfully the day before he pulled in enough wood from the north to last them several nights. Sometimes the village didn't need it if a small trickle of radioactive water made its way through the cracks of the ground. Feeling around his mane, he gently tugged out a fire starter and joined the rest of what he considered family in the center of the village. They clamored and shared memories they had before coming here, or how they ended up here in the first place.
The shacks, and small houses made a square around the vacant spot in the middle. Making it so the taller buildings would make a shadow in the village square. Easier on the smilodon's eyes, and better for all during hot days. Within a few moments he started a fire in the divot, making sure others were bringing in the wood they had stored previously. The deer still needed to be cooked, helping the rest of them set up a rotisserie; and setting the meat over the moderate flame. Sitting back, one of the cubs asked him what he found today other than the deer. Giving a small smile he disclosed that most of what he found was more solar panel pieces and more wire, the cub lit up at that and went to tell the rest. Exclaiming that the big cat had found more materials to hopefully get all of them electricity. Having looked away from them now, he stared down the flame; taking this time to zone out.

Forgotten Space station
Richard jogged to the core, walking over to the core, noticing the joyfully bright lighting
"What's that about my cameras?" He exclaimed as he entered the core, chuckling "My cameras work great, thank you"
He smiled at Felicity "What do ya need?"
-
Forgotten Space Station
Felicity Prime gave a chuckle, "I can only see crappy footage through them, anyway, my sensors say that a meteor shower is supposed to occur in a few...", suddenly, a large bang was heard throughout the station, "Oh no! That meteor hit one of my stabilizers! Uh oh, Brace for impact!", another meteor soon hit the station, knocking out the last regency thruster, "Rick... I need you to go! Go to the escape pods and take this box with you! Open it when you land, okay?", a pristine metal box slowly rose out of the floor, it had backpack straps on it for easy traveling.
Sirens blared throughout the station, along with flashing red lights.
-
The Badlands-
Beneath the scorched Badlands, a lone figure toiled tirelessly at the rocks and soil. The by-product of generations bathed in radiation created the small, stout figure working in the dark. He stood only at 4' 3'', but his body was strong. His purple fur was a part of the reason his kind retreated to the underground. The raccoon, as that was what he was, continued to chip away at the dirt and rocks, singing quietly to himself. The raccoon's name was Rayleonarde Blackburn, but normally addressed himself as Ray when chatting with the stones he loved so dearly. The entrance to Ray's tunnels was not hidden, and would actually seem inviting if one required shelter. As Ray enjoyed metals as much as stone, he had started his home around a huge antenna relay, though functional wasn't something the raccoon could discern, only that the cold metal could be turned into tools, which in turn made the pickax he dug with.
-
Forgotten Space Station
"M-Meteor shower?!" he shuddered
"Are you sure you'll be alright? what's in the case?"
He looks extremely anxious
-
Forgotten Space Station
Felicity shook her head, "I won't be... As we speak, the station is slowly descending on the earth below, bits and pieces are already falling off... In my prime I could walk around the station, but I've grown to old that I need constant electricity to even keep my child form... I wish the best for you, Richard... I only wish we could have been lovers...", she didn't answer the question about the case, dodging the question by pushing him out of the core room with an expel of air into the hallway, along with the case.
On remaining LED signs, arrows went across them, pointing towards the escape pod bay.
The station creaked as bits and pieces began to peel off the exterior.
Apoc Springs - Radio Blimp
Over the spring radio, an urgent tune played, "Well look at that, kiddies! Up in the sky! It seems the dull star that never moved from our skies is seeming to be burning! An awesome sight indeed... however, if it touches down, it would make for some very valuable loot! Fawn, out!"
-
The Badlands-
Figuring that it was best to go back out and scavenge for what he could in the now duller daylight, he was looking for tunnels. Not far from his village did he find one, sighing; he got down on his stomach and poked his head inside. Nor did he understand why some of the residents took their business and lives underground. Narrowing his eyes, at the very least his species was supposed to see in the dark; but only for so much of a distance. When he didn't see anyone he took it upon himself to roar down one of the pathways, seeing as how that would draw attention. It was god awful loud and would carry for some distance down the tunnels and hopefully reach someone. The smilodon wanted to share the feast with the residents of the caves and what better way to call them than with a roar.
-
The Badlands-
Ray yelped as the ungodly loud roar his his ears, and he shouted up as soon as the roaring stopped.
"What's all this shoutin' inter me home!?" The stout raccoon made his way quickly through the tunnels, and slowly poked his head out. His fur was coated in a thick layer of dirt and dust and his pickax shone in the sunlight. Goggles made from rubies and leather covered his eyes. The small raccoon spotted the smilodon and retreated back slightly. Having had little company in the past few weeks, Ray had become reclusive, and coupled with the fact that the smilodon towered over him made the dwarf raccoon very timid. "Y-Yes," asked the raccoon, his voice quaking slightly, "c-can I help y-you?"
-
Forgotten Space Station
Richard was hit with a wave of emotion, which drove him to ignore what Felicity had said about being 'lovers' despite his huge sudden interest in it.
He ran as fast as he could lugging the case with him, he climbed into the closest escape pod and strapped himself in, strapping in the case as well, to prevent damaging
"Goodbye, Felicity" He took this moment to remember the peaceful times he'd had on the station, he checked his back for his trusty weapon and as always, it was sitting there behind him, from now on, he'd have to toughen up, and protect himself in the hellish land below.
A single tear slid down his face, now he'd had a little time to think about what his only friend had said.
-
Forgotten Space Station
Felicity Prime was still connected to the pod bays, preventing Richard from leaving, "Don't cry, my love.... Be happy! I know this departure isn't one we both like... but I'm old... I don't have the capabilities like I used to leave my core... I'm almost out of power... just know... you carry... a piece... of-", she then cut off as the escape pod abruptly shot out as the station began to burn up, the pod going at an angle that would land safely as possible.
The pod had windows next to each of the passenger seats, and through them, Richard would see Felicity's red core breaking off of the station before it exploded in the atmosphere above, knocking large pieces of the station away from him to prevent large pieces of the station from landing on the pod.
Apoc Springs
Despite the time being day, everything on the surface lit up like another nuclear bomb exploded just as Felicity's AI Core exploded in a red explosion, gaining attention to the falling station that fell towards the Badlands.
Razuel was wandering a common area in the middle of Apoc Springs, himself being in his feral form since survivors out here usually suffered from heat stroke and needed shade. Raz looked up, seeing a bright object shooting off of the station with it's own fuller vapor trail behind it, "Huh... Another one?", Raz then walked to where he thought the pod may land, but it would take a while.
-
The Badlands-
Alistair pointed to the community nearby, "We caught some food, enough for a feast. Why don't you join us?" Looking up when his ears flicked to catch his attention, he saw something explode in the atmosphere. Grumbling, he figured this wasn't the first nor the last object to explode while falling to the surface; and he questioned whether or not there would be any survivors this time. Rarely was there ever any survivors, and usually that meant that a few field scouts would have to go and bury what remains and salvage the materials they could from the wreckage.
-
-The Badlands-
Ray was about to answer in the affirmative, when the explosion startled him. He had heard those before, but it still scared him. The dwarf-coon tried to peer around Alistair, without getting close to the smilodon. "W-What w-was that? I-It sounded l-like o-one of those water-f-falling things. Y-Y'know, when the up gets dark?" The cave dweller wasn't very learned, which hindered his ability to communicate, thus why he preferred the underground.
-
-Forgotten Space Station-
Richard gazed out the window at the red lights, knowing his life would never be the same, he prepared for the worst as the pod hurled towards he earth.
He bit his lip, and shivered, thinking of the wastelands below, and how he'd likely never see his only friend again
-
Felicity - Apoc Springs
The space stations crashed all around Apoc Springs, mainly focusing on the middle of it all.
The escape pod soon made contact with the planet, creating a large and long crater. Some ceiling and wall panels fell off in the impact, and the case had fell out of Rick's hands on impact, and was now sitting on the ground, and a section of it was open slightly, and a red light weakly pulsed out of it.
Razuel - Apoc Springs
Raz wasn't very far from the crash site as things made contact with the planet. From a safe distance, he observed as each piece made contact with Apon Springs.
-
M3G -just outside servo-
The android made her way across the stone landscape with creator,Lacar, towards the badlands running from the place she once called home. She had commandeered the body of and old rusted construction not in order to lead the prison in which she was kept. Her new body was over 7 ft tall with her left arm being a backhoe. She left servo due to the leaders voting on decommissioning her cause the rate in which she was gaining knowledge. As she trudged over the rough landscape she looks up as a large blast energy passed over her, she watches as debris falls from the sky curious on what had happened, she and her maker began to make their way to the wreckage.
Lacar -just outside servo-
Lacar followed behind his most prized possession, M3G, the AI he created after the death of his wife and daughter. He help M3G escape after he was given orders to destroy her, he didn't have the heart to destroy his child so they escaped servo together. Lacar noticed the explosions and flaming debris follow from space, the first thing that crossed his mind was technology he could use to build meg a better more suitable body so he followed her to the energy readings she had picked up.
-
-The Badlands-
Alistair looked at the thing behind him in the sky, giving a small negative expression at it, "It's common for things to fall from the sky every now and again. Nothing particular to worry about." He started back toward the small village, hoping the dwarf raccoon would follow since he wanted to make sure the raccoon had a full belly before he would return to the underground. Exhaling as he walked back, he rubbed through his mane to make sure there were no snags or knots; despite the fact that it was fluffy on its own.
-
-The Badlands-
Ray shrugged. The smilodon seemed to know everything about the surface, and the dwarf raccoon was eager to learn. He followed behind at a distance he felt was safe, but kept his eyes glued to the sky. Whatever the thing was, it wasn't from the underground. And that scared Ray more than the stranger he had just met. After a few seconds, Ray asked. "W-What's you're name, f-friend?"
-
Apoc Springs
Richard lay dizzy on the floor of the escape pod, he stood up after a few minutes of rest and looked to the case and awkwardly opened it, which proved difficult as he was so disoriented.
"W-what even is this?"
-
M3G -apoc springs-
M3G makes her way toward the crash following a low energy read that fades in and out."readings indicate an AI, unable to find origin or model type. AI must be of an older model, more advance than I." She says to Lacar unknowingly heading toward Richard's pod.
Lacar -apoc springs-
"Another AI more advanced than you, that's impossible you are one of the top AI servo can produce." Lacar follows her closely as he watches debris fall from the sky wondering how an AI could have lay up there for so long. He believes M3G is only picking up the residue of whatever machine fell from space.
-
Apoc Springs
Richard lay dizzy on the floor of the escape pod, he stood up after a few minutes of rest and looked to the case and awkwardly opened it, which proved difficult as he was so disoriented.
"W-what even is this?"
Within the case was an egg bearing the same colourations of Felicity Prime, and as Richard opened the case, an automated voice started, "Richard, if you are hearing this, then that means something has happened to me, but don't worry, this egg is my daughter and my son; a copy of me. I never got to tell you, but I love you as my programming prevented me from saying so, but my daughter doesn't have those limitations. When she hatches, she will need electricity, or something acidic to eat or she will remain quite weak until she can get that sustenance. One more thing before this message ends. She will have none of my memories and will know you as someone nice, so please, treat me, her, with the most kindness you can offer, and keep her safe... others will want her if they learn of her powers...", the message cut out and the egg simply pulsed with light and a fuzzy warmth.
Closer to the crash sight was Raz, and he soon moved closer to the pod, seeing a red blinking light above it as he pushed through metal beams, causing them to creak loudly as he entered the crater of more beams that the pod sat near. Raz's subtle grunts could be heard as he pushed through the beams.
-
-The Badlands-
Looking back to the raccoon for a moment, he had to think about that question. After a short exhale he spoke to them again, "Alistair, and yours?" Once they were back at the small village he were greeted by a few members, who were eager to meet one of the citizens of the underground; they were far and few between but nice people overall. Alistair looked to the sky for just a few moments more, wondering when and if the sun would set. Night time wasn't too scary around these parts since most of the trees had withered and died off, the few that remained had no leaves; just gnarled branches.
-
-The Badlands-
Ray smiled, his teeth cracked and dirty. "I'm Ray. Glad t'meet 'cha Alistair." The humble cave dweller kept quiet most of the trip, shading his already goggle-covered eyes. He also seemed a tad slow in his walking, the heat was something he never really adjusted to. As the pair reached the settlement, Ray was taken aback by the buildings. He never thought vertical, roomed structures were feasible. His second reaction was to hide behind Alistair, the sudden onrush of bodies startled Ray. But he calmed soon after.
-
Apoc Springs
Richard, after hearing the message was sort of comforted, although he was confronted with the issue of having to find electricity and some acidic stuff in this awful dusty place. He placed the egg back into the case, to keep it safe.
His thoughts were interrupted by the loud noise of creaking metal, he reached for his weapon, which expanded in his hand so the handle was about as tall as him, and a large heavy chain came out of the top end, holding a metal ball at the end
"Who's there?!"
-
M3G -apoc springs-
M3G followed the signal four a few hours before making a pit stop, her body was running low on fuel so she needed to recharge for a while.
Lacar-apoc springs-
Lacar chose a tall rock as their stopping area due to its height, it'd allow them to spot anything coming towards them from a reasonable distance. Lacar hooked M3G to one of the batteries he had stolen from Servo, he new that she'd need food at some point.

"Who's there?!"
Raz soon climbed over the hill of metal and burning debris, "Calm down... I'm not here to hurt... just here for salvage... but it looks like you could use some help, eh?"
-
-The Badlands-
Ray, after a time with the small encampment, bid his farewell and headed back to his cave. He slowed his travel however, as being outside had made him slightly ill. It was an unfortunate by-product of his being undergound for so long. It'd take him a little while to reach his subterranean home.
-
M3G -apoc springs-
M3G powers down atop the rock, her large stature making her easily noticeable but its the highest place around
Lacar -apoc springs-
Lacar builds a small fire so he could cook the little food he had, beans. He put em in a pot and set them over the fire, he then proceeded to unbag his bedroll and lantern.
-
Apoc Springs
Richard stuttered for a second trying to catch up with what was happening
"W-well yeah.. i could do with a hand..."
He took his hand off his weapon and picked up the briefcase, inspecting Raz and looking to the way out
-
Apoc Springs
Raz walked over to Richard and lowered his body to the ground to let him climb on, "Well then hop on and we'll go to my tavern, alright?"
-
Apoc Springs
"Yeah... sure, o-okay..."
He took the case under his arm and climbed on Raz, the idea of riding on another creature seemed strange and barbaric to him, but nonetheless he would have to deal with the customs of the wilderness now, he took this time to think about what was actually in the case.
-
Lacar & M3G -apoc springs-
Lacar lays back and finally falls asleep after a few hours leaned against M3G
-
Apoc Springs - Inside wreckage.
Raz watched as Richard climbed onto his back, watching the boots he wore, but the briefcase caught his eye, however it seemed to have attracted others too as a Terminus Vertibird flew over head and landed outside the wreckage.
Raz had taken cover as he heard the dense rumbling get closer. Raz looked angry, "You... keep your mouth shut... you won't like these people... they aren't good people..."
***Outside the space station wreckage***
A man, dressed in white, with a mutated trillium on his lab coat, stepped out of the Vertibird with 5 other creatures, each in suits of X-02 Power Armor, a slightly superior version to the failed X-01 power armor suits.
"Power levels are high here men... but look for the core! Retrieve it without harming the core!", "Yes, sir!", one stayed behind to guard the man in the lab coat, but the other 4 ran off into the wreckage, starting in the demolished east wing.
-
-Badlands-
Ray reached his home, but a thought kept him from entering. The wreckage would provide some more structure support for his tunneling. The dwarf-raccoon grunted, and nodded in confirmation. He ducked into his home, retrieving a large backpack and rough-looking hunting dagger. Not one to inflict pain, Ray kept the knife as a deterrent and not a weapon.
-
Apoc Springs - Inside Wreckage
He shut his mouth, trusting the dragon...
-
Lacar and M3G -apoc springs-
Still resting next to the fire as megs battery reaches 50%
(Since I'm sleeping I'm just gonna wait for another go around before doing anything)
-
Apoc Springs - Inside Wreckage
Raz crept through the wreckage, stepping silently, even for his large size, his breathing even silent, but he did speak when he knew they were safe, but they could not leave yet, "I can clearly tell you're not from this hell... This is Apocalise Springs, or as others will call it, Apocaliptia Springs, and I am one of those still sane from when everything went to utter shit... so please bare in mind, I'm no barbarian, I'm quite far from it... so smart in fact I made a safe haven in this hell... those outside are from Terminus, 'The city of mind, body, and intelligence.' and outside are genetically enhanced cyborgs, mindless and obedient... I liberated one before... sad souls really... they have mind... just no choice to attack... he begged be to bring him a merciful end... and I did... so if you kill one of them, don't feel bad... they want it... it's a hell worse than this place to be them...", Raz would still lay, alert as he looked around the area, them being in the ruined cafeteria of the former space station, "My mother told me one thing when I was but a dragling... "Items concealed are of value, but are not for those of greed and evil...", so with that being said, keep that case concealed... open it when we are safe...", Raz would wait for a little longer before he would start off again.
On the complete opposite side of the wreckage, the soldiers walked in, rifles primed and ready to shoot if opposed.
-
-Apoc Springs - Near Wreckage
Ray stepped gingerly closer to the flaming wreckage, but stopped when he spotted the power-armored individuals. He wondered what they were, where they were from, and why they carried such hardware. The dwarf-raccoon got a little closer, and then immediately burrowed into the sand, so that he could watch without being seen.
-
- Apoc Springs, Wreckage -
Richard made sure the case was secure and tried to hold it one-handed by a strap. After this, he cautiously pulled out his telescopic flail, for now, it looked like a tiny mace. You might've been able to feel him getting a little bit heavier, as he was breathing in lots of air, just in case that the air outside just happened to be nastier than the air in the wreckage, and filled with chemicals, It was a dumb assumption but it's better safe than sorry.
He looked around, trying not to remember the times he had in this place while it was still in orbit.
-
M3G and Lacar -apoc springs-
A little time passed and M3G was at full power and operational, I loaded her up with my gear and we set back out towards the wreckage, still far distance away Lacar decided to ride on M3G the most of the way.
-
Apoc Springs - Inside Wreckage
After a little longer Raz stood up, walking cautiously out towards an exit, away from where he thought the soldiers were, "You were from here, right? Direct me so I know if I'm going the right way.", Raz whispered to Richard.
The soldier outside with the commander perked up and looked into the distance, thinking he saw something moving closer in the distance.
-
Ray furrowed his brow. No way he saw me...A bead of sweat dripped from Ray's brow, as his gut twisted in fear.
-
-Apoc Springs, Wreckage-
Richard shrugged
"Well, it seems to be a bit... all over the place, still, looks like you're going the right way for now..."
He realized that he had stopped holding his breath, and in doing so, he found the air wouldn't kill him...
-
M3G and Lacar -apoc springs-
M3G activated her transport mode turning her into somewhat of a vehicle with treads in order to gain greater speed.
They continued toward the wreckage the signal growing stronger with each mile close we became.

Apoc Springs - Wreckage West exit
Raz walked along, soon reaching the exit, looking outside as he surveyed the immediate view, soon starting to walk out of the wreckage.
Apoc Springs, Station Wreckage
The soldier watching the general took aim at Ray, it just whizzing by Ray's head, kicking up dust, but as the same soldier saw a shifting dust cloud approaching, it being caused M3G, he took aim and shot again, the bullet whuzzing at Lacar and M3G.

-The Badlands-
Ray yelped quietly as the bullet whizzed past, and burrowed slightly deeper into the ground. He hoped the soldiers would leave him alone, knowing they'd probably kill him at best.

Apoc Springs - Wreckage West exit
Richard upon hearing the gunshots clung to both his weapon and the case tighter, he readied himself to run out of there...

M3G and Lacar -apoc springs-
M3G changes back to her original droid form holding me to her chest as she takes the shot to her back. She the proceeded to scoop up a clump of rock and dirt with her backhoe arm and catapulted it towards the soldiers.
Lacar stayed in cover to since his weapons are more of a medium to short range firearms. He hunkered down and tried to use his mechanical parts as extra protection.

Apoc Springs, Station Wreckage - East side
The soldiers soon all converged on the east side of the wreckage as M3G retaliated, seeing it as hostile retaliation, they all started shooting, only one really having the most accurate aim, but one kept an eye trained on Ray if he were to abruptly move before things would escalate.
West Side of wreckage
Raz heard the shots and took this as great cover for them to run, so he looked back at Richard and ripped his rifle from him, "No!... we run.. if you want to die, then go fight, but I refuse to... but if you do run, leave the case with me... I'll keep it safe..", Raz said, the rile sitting on the ground with bite marks in it.
Raz hadn't run yet as he awaited Richard's answer while still being behind cover.

The shooting went on for a while until the whole horizon went silent, then suddenly a large piece of the wreckage, one piece that jutted from the wreckage creaked and fell just in front of the soldiers, making their subroutines kick in and quickly go to the base of that fallen spire; running into the wreckage.
The officer present grumbled and grabbed one by the collar, "You! We're going... the others can get back themselves... come on...", the soldier he grabbed nodded and they climbed into the Vertibird.
West Side of wreckage
Raz heard the vertibird lifting up and took this as ample time to run as the flying machine caused a large dustcloud to lift off, giving him great cover as he trotted along, "You... back there... hold on and close your eyes...". Raz couldn't've let Richard there with the soldiers, it'd be monstrous of him to do so.

Ray burrowed deeper into the ground, hoping the soldiers would simply see him as a waste of ammo and leave.

-West Side of Wreckage-
Richard tightly closed his eyes, strongly believing that this was a dream. He clutched the case and his weapon tightly while leaning on the dragon

Lacar and M3G-apoc springs-
M3G continued forward ignoring the vertibird and focusing on the soldiers left behind viewing them as a much higher threat level than the retreating aircraft. Lacar readied his magnetic weapon firing at the retreating soldiers not really trying to hit them but suppress them.

The soldiers ducked behind a wall before being hit by magnetic blast, but it had caused a cluster of metal to block the hole the entered in.
West Side of wreckage - Bound for McCreamy Grill
Raz trotted along, the ride on his back not being the most comfy of things, but the steaming ground isn't a good trade off
