Although we are all partners in this venture, I feel Mooshy has the 51st share and since he asked for time to recouperate I will wait for him to return.

I think we are all checking in once in a while to see when Mooshy returns. Still no activity but lots of interest. :)

Runner wasn't much on leading but he knew how to run and it seemed they were running from Mutants right now so he heads upstairs.
"Super Mutants...lots of 'em...but only on this floor. Up above it's all machines. Probably doesn't trust 'em compared to an obedient and unthinking computer. That's both good and bad. We go up, we won't have to fight 'em...but if we have to turn back, they'll be between us and the exit.""[/b] - "Man, if we have a choice between facin' Muties or sneakin' passed them, I'm all for sneakin'.Besides, maybe there is another way out that does not include running into them.?" - With that said, he takes a few steps up toward the next floor to see what is up ahead.

When everyone is in, Runner guns the engine and accelerates away from the Sphere as fast as Brando will go.
Move thru bad terrain...:
When you have to deal with bad terrain, roll+cool, plus your vehicle’s handling. On a 10+, you fly through untouched. On a 7–9, choose 1: • You slow down and pick your way forward. • You push too hard and your vehicle suffers harm as established. • You ditch out and go back or try to find another way. On a miss, the MC chooses 1 for you; the others are impossible.

Runner finally snaps out of the daze he has been under and bolts for the exit.
It was a trick, lies, all of it.
