Fitzgerald stamps his foot on the ground in frustration. Blast it all. Seems we are having a bit of hard lines. Probably should chivvy along to the vault to meet the other septics before we have unexpected vistors.
No problems! Just making sure you know i'm still lurking and I enjoy RP posts, they're quick to type~ I didn't know if it was right to read the spoilers or not so I avoided it. But with how many there's been I assumed a lot was going on. >.>;
Hoping nothing too bad~ lol. >.O
Winter nods. "Let's go, while Atom's holy gaze is still upon us"
Yeah, it is nice to know that you're with us. The spoilers are in large quantity because everyone's making individual rolls and RPing themselves, but not much has actually happened... And not much will.
Perception (search): #taking20#booya = 26.
"Maybe I should see if anyone's home. HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!? WE BROKE INTO YOUR HOOOOOME! HOPE THAT'S OKAY! WE'RE MERCEN...or umm... A TRAVELING BAND AND WE WERE SENT TO FIND YOU SOOo eeeeh yeah okay they're not home."
Camper lets his scatty old dog go into the darkness of the house, sniffing around the house, he always known when some ones home.
"He know the shows time or not"
camper says to the others
"...Well, maybe we just need to look around a little more. What's your dog's name, by the way?"
She reaches down to pet it, and begins to speak in a baby voice:
"Well hello. Hello there little guy. ?Como estas? You're so cute. Mi corazon en fuego por el perro; el perro muy guapo. Yes you are!"
The dog is an old and skinny mongrel, it wags its tail happy for the attention and affections.
Camper says,
"Meeem he like you girly, he keep ya safe from the off switch, just like Cammper will"
He moves into the house
Moving through the house, it's obvious no one's in the building, and judging from dust, Deidre guesses it's been a few days since they were there--matching up with what you've heard of events.
There are no traps in the house that you find, and not much good wealth either. In the kitchen, there's a fridge with a couple of brahmin steaks and half a mole-rat pie from the Cavern Inn, along with 5 bottles of dirty water and 3 bottles of beer. Also in the kitchen is an oven with a range top and a sink. In the cabinets you find 6 cans of Cram. It looks like the Halls were going to make a grocery run soon.
Moving through the rest of the house, there's nothing of note--three bedrooms, each with one bed, the master bedroom with a queen-size. Some toys are in one of the other bedrooms--a homemade doll, a toy car, and a teddy bear. However, as Deidre spends her extra time moving through every room, exploring every nook and cranny, she finds a small compartment built into the headboard of the bed in the plainest bedroom. Opening this compartment, she discovers a .38 revolver and 12 rounds of ammunition... Looks like Gunar Halls was packing.
Camper, your dog comes running back to you, panting, obviously wanting you to follow him. He leads you to the master bedroom and begins pawing at a piece of floorboard in the corner of the room, whining...
Camp takes his knife and slips up the floor broad, doing it at arms length.

"Hey guys, I honestly don't think anyone is...-Oh cool! Hey! Look what I found!" She waves the gun in the air like a pom-pom with an excited cheer, though she soon remembered no one was around to see (though could probably hear). "Well, I'm sure Mr. Hall got this to protect his family, so I'll see that it does just that." She smiles to herself and takes the gun with the ammo, then makes her way back to where the rest of the party is. "Ooooo! What'd you find, Camper? Sorry. I 'ooo-ed' there..."
In response to your comment Darius: "Yeah right? You'd think you'd bring protection if you were to leave home for an extended period of time. I'm willing to bet they didn't leave willingly. The door was locked too, probably to prevent people from entering and realizing the Hall's are missing. Well looks like these b&##*es weren't expecting experts in B&E."
Camper, you slip up the floorboard a crack, and the smell of rotting meat wafts up into the room. Looking in, you see a dead radroach.
As Kora treks along, late in the day his armor map blips once again. However, this time when he looks back he sees something is actually there: another member of the Brotherhood, jogging to catch up to him, also in Power Armor. Interesting...
Perception checks
Psicrystal
Camper
Seeing an unfamiliar brotherhood soldier jogging up behind him made him rigid momentarily until he saw the same walk and stride that Brotherhood soldiers had to do to walk in their power armor. He grimaced inwardly before dismissing the feeling of having a baby sitter. The uppers didn't trust him, so he reigned in his misconceptions and focused on the task ahead.
Vault two-five-two.
He couldn't care less who they sent, the more the merrier and the more successful the assignment. The more likely he wouldn't be dumped into the fire.
"Talk and walk, we've a long road ahead. Kirion, Junior Paladin Repo Squad from Delta bunker and you?"
He kept both hands on his laser rifle, ready for action, in his short time in the patrols he had learned that damn near anything could jump up and attack out in the wastes. Hell even towns weren't safe...
Knight Apprentice (KA) Morrow comes jogging up to Junior Paladin (JP) Kirion with his Wattz 2000 Laser Rifle at port arms or readied position. As soon as he reaches the JP, he stops briskly to report but is interrupted by the hurried actions of JP Kirion and starts to walk briskly next to him. He slings his laser rifle to take out his orders and in a winded voice...
"Junior Paladin Kora Kirion, I am Knight Apprentice Sagittarii Morrow. Thanks to my squad leader, I am the soul survivor of Fang Squad from Gamma Bunker." ... he shows you the picture below ... "HQ has temporarily reassigned me to Repo Squad under your command."
Sagittarii hands Kora his orders...
"Sir, Command stated they did not have a position for me in the other Knight squads and that it would be good for me to join Repo squad, Sir."
Sagittarii takes his Laser Rifle off his shoulder and back to port arms or the readied position like everyone should in the Wasteland and begins to scan left and right for enemy contact(s).

Darius, trained to spot enemies and traps, sees (and smells) only a dead radroach. However, Deidre and Camper both notice a small glint of sunlight beneath one of the 'roach's legs. Upon shifting the creature, you make an interesting discovery: 2 vials of jet. Also, to the side, you see a small box of 10mm ammunition, with 4 rounds left inside.
camper tacks the jet, and pops it in his pouch.
"we be needing this later"
Curious, Winter turns to Fitz as the two walk back to town.
"I don't mean to be rude, brother, but why do you talk like that? It sounds..."
He stops for a moment, looking alarmed, and seems to be surreptitiously trying to grab hold of his Tommy gun
"Hey - you're not Chinese, are you?!"
He seems unphased by Winters scramble for his tommy gun. He gives a bit of a chuckle at being accused of being Chinese. "Oh goodness me no man. I'm not Chinese. I'm British, and bloody well proud of it!" He strikes a pose, hand resting on his saber as he seems to stare of into the heavens, the British flag seeming to backdrop behind him.
He gave the picture a brief glance and felt sickened by what caused such a massacre. An entire patrol lost... Our defenses are fracturing and Gamma Bunker is now all the weaker for someones reckless pride. He sighed and handed the picture back without breaking stride. "I feel for your loss Knight Morrow and I promise you I won't make such a mistake. I'm here to win but we have to win smart. Now, Repo Squad isn't as glorious as being part of a combat patrol but we are just as important. Have you been briefed on our current objective?" His power armor distorted his voice, which may or may not make him sound insincere.
He eyed the Knight's W2K-Series Laser Rifle and took some comfort in knowing he wasn't the only one carrying heavy arms. That was when he noticed the Knights other armaments and couldn't help but think of them as more of a Fireteam then a scouting party...
With the same power armor distorted voice, Sagittarii responds ... "Thank you Paladin Kirion for your condolences and promise. I also promise you to kick ass and take names, I have your back! Although I prefer Combat Patrol, Repo squad and its mission is for the Brotherhood and that is all that matters to me." ... Sagittarii scans the area once more, notices Kora's Ripper, then continues ... "Command gave me a brief mission statement besides reporting to you and that was to recover technology from v232 (Vault 232) and purge any raiders in the area. And of course, safe guard all Brotherhood assets and recovered technology from all enemies of the Wasteland ... Sagittarii scans the area, then looks at Kora ... "I hope we find another Ripper during our mission that I can either keep or file a requisition form for the recovered Ripper to add to my inventory. For now, I have to put up with this low tech poorly maintained machete that I aquired from a Super Muttie I fragged." ... Sagittarii returns to scanning the area for enemies.

"Anyway, back to collect our caps from Ian and Mia and then up to the Vault?"
"Yeah, I think we did good here. They'll be happy to know we checked on the place for them to make sure no one broke in or any- oooooooh.... uuuhhhh... well gents. Let's grab the upfront caps and head to the vault." En route to the door, she gives Darius a friendly slap on the shoulder as a sort of 'giddy-up'.
Kora nods as Sagittarii relays the mission perimeters to him correctly and that made things way easier. He smiled behind his power helm when Sagi made a comment about the Ripper, he smiled not out of smuggness but because he too sought one out the moment he laid hands on one in the barracks. He wasn't allowed one until he gained JP rank but after he joined the ranks of active combatants it was the first thing he requested and at heavy personal cost...
"If we find a Ripper I will file a summary report to support your requisition as well."
He though for a moment about the best way the pair could work together, thinking back on old pre-war holotapes on military units. "We will act as a Fireteam, focusing ourselves on fire and movement. If we run into resistance it'll be important for us to stay mobile and pin the enemy down as best we can before determining whether we pull back or push forward. Now, the report I received cited a possible Super Mutant presence, if this proves true we were ordered to pull back and report to Delta bunker for support in clearing out the threats. Lets discuss tactics and skills. I am skilled at firing rapidly but it slows me down and isn't the most accurate attack, However it makes it easier to pin enemies down. I also excel at healing arts and was once a scribe and excelled at energy weapons and armor repairs."
this is a test responc t o see if this works tab with key B
Kora saw a reflection of himself in this Knight, except his hatred was aimed at the SM's that they encountered in the wastes. "Hold that picture close and remember what happened always. We will put up a token resistance, if it came alone we will put it down. We will focus on fire and movement, I trust your ability to use that W2K fully. If we are lucky enough to down them we will assess the situation and proceed from there."
He continued his scan's, looking at the odd bleep every now and again and grimacing as he realized his suit wasn't up to par. Three days without adjusting it would cost him dearly, he was sure of it...
Sagittarii nods and places the Investigation photo of Fang Squad's demise in a safe place ... "I will remember always! I will remember my brethren serving the Brotherhood faithfully! I will remember they died for the Brotherhood! I will remember my Squad Leader who obviously respected me, saved my life! And I will remember who is responsible! However, I will not take uncalculated risks and I will comply with orders" ... Sagittarii pauses to scan the area and then continues ... "I agree with your fireteam tactics, dealing with Super Mutants, and I will comply. I almost forgot, I have been known to stretch the 200 meter range to 2000 meters with the W2K. However without a scope, or a spotter, and perhaps an amplifier depending on the environment, I may be hard press to hit my targets at the 2000 meter range." ... Sagittarii scans the area once more for enemy contact.
Sagittarii hears a familiar sound coming from Kora's Power Armor ... "By the way sir, unless there is a glitch, it sounds like your Power Armor may require servicing soon."
Kora grimaces as he armor continued glitch is so readily apparent.
"I was indisposed for a few days and wasn't able to service m armor in the interim. Along with the ripped requisition I will look into equipment to improve are long range capability. Being a spotted will be a new experience but i accept the challenge if you will allow it."
He couldn't help but chuckle at Sagi`s comment before replying simply.
"Sadly we are a ways out yet. At least a few more hours of walking. I swear to steel that if we ever find a L.A.T. in semi decent condition I will personally rebuild the thing from the ground up... And i wouldn't care what it would cost to maintain it. Not having to talk for miles would be well worth the trouble."
Camper heads back, he was worried, some thing in his bones told him a great prime time show was starting, and may run for the full 22. This lot had a cast feel about them and if they could take the box, may just hit network.
"So, pilgrims, what did you find?", asks Winter as he approaches the others outside the Hall's house.
Kora shook his head at Sagi, clearly this man needed to be around more uplifting people. Or perhaps it was a joke Kora wasn't understanding. Both were plausible but all he could think of was a holotape of Ralph Emerson's quotes. "'We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.' All of this we have in the Brotherhood and more, too long have I lived by someone else's misconceptions as a scribe. Not anymore though, I follow orders but live by own terms outside of the Bunker let them squander their lives on what they believe is truth."
He crested another hill, Sagi right alongside him and pointed out some notable land marks. "We're making good progress at least, That towering rock over their, noted 'Finger of God' by the locals means were at the halfway point. From the field report there are a number of Molerat nests in the area." He quickly checks his Laser rifle, ensuring the charge had diminished before looking back down the hillside. "You ready to capture a Vault today Knight Morrow?"
