Roleplaying:Skyler's Hunt

==Act 1==
Skyler Looks around the Ruins of Old Olney where Jacob was last seen a year ago, he took out 3 DeathClaw and they left due to fear
"Weaklings....seems Jacob had some help, but the trail is gone" he thinks to himself "It would be best to find a town to find some information" He says to himself and betgins to head to Megaton

The loner was looking for a mission and megaton was great for that.Nothing at all except a brahmin tipping job that was bellow the claws.He sat down at Moriarty's saloon and drank a beer.He saw another guy sitting beside him. "What's your story?"The loner asked.

So some other fool was after jacob vaughton well they had it comming to them as far as Steven knew vaughton was a freaking maniac who had avoided all the bountys on his head.He walked up to the bar and asked to the man he had seen near old olney
"why are you hunting vaughton you fool he'l kill you" 
Brengarrett 17:37, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Skyler turns to him and pulls out the tattered Photo of Jacob
"I'm looking for this man, have you seen him?"
After Teh loner said no he turned to the new man
" I'm after him, I have to find him and kill him" He replies " So have you seen him?"
Fniff1 17:46, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
"Your a bit harsh on him.What's this guy done?Kill your wife?Set off a nuke near your hometown?"The loner said.
--Vegas adict 18:10, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
"yeah i've seen him but that's jacob vaughton and there's no way you could kill him"
Fniff1 18:20, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
"A few people even say he's the devil.Of course that's a stupid idea.No-one can be the devil.He's done enough to please himself"The loner said causally drinking his beer.
Brengarrett 18:37, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
He grabs Steven by his neck 
"You will tell me where he is, or you die" He grits through his teeth " I was born to kill him, answer your question"
Fniff1 18:42, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Eliz sees this and runs over and kicks the guy (Skyler)At the back of the head.
HE lets go dropping him on the table and he turns to Eliz and then pulls out a combat knife
"Move along lady, I don't want to but I will kill you if you get in my way" (he won't but he is acting tough)
86.46.175.254 20:31, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Eliz jumps and lands on back."Oh crap!Bar fight!"Someone called out.
Skyler throws a Knife at the man who said it and it lands in his throat and it kills him instantly
"Shut up" He says to the Corpse
"I will leave if you give me the information I want" He says
Fniff1 20:46, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
"I personally now think you as a bloodthirsty,Baby killing,Enclave like son of a trog"Said the loner. "And even the other trogs are nicer then you."
"Right, do you know what I am?" He asks "I am a creature born from the mind of the devil and the might of a demon, I am only born for battle and chaos, I must find my brother then kill him, that is my only reason for life." He says then he arms his shotgun " So I will ask one more time, tell me where he is or die"
Fniff1 20:54, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
"No,I'll run off down to the gates screaming 'HELP HELP THERE"S A MANIC IN MEGATON! "The loner must have bein a very honest person,Because that's what he did.
Skyler leaves the area and is souround by some armed men
"If anyone doesn't want to die leave, if so then pray to what ever god you worship for you will be seeing him: HE says to the crowd arming himself with his Deathclaw Gauntlet
Random guy: YEah you and what arm-
Before he could continue Skyler stabs him i nthe chest with his claws and rips out some inards
Skyler: Anyone else?
The people are a little scared and most run off but the rest who decided to stay are slaughtered quickly by the fast Skyler and when he is done he walks out of the town Calmy
Skyler: Guess Jacob isn't here, maybe someone knows where he is in some of the abanded shops (AKA Super Duper Mart, also don't stop him it is apart of the RP)
Fniff1 21:23, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Sam was singing and polishing a sentry that ran out of ammo.He didn't really need to polish it but he loved his tech.he was almost done polishing when suddenly a guy came in.
 (Sorry had to erase that last statement)
Skyler walked into the Super Duper mart and looks at Sam
"Do you know where Ican find a man named Jacob?" He asks coldly
Jason: Who do you think you are?
Skyler: Super Mutant....so the rumors were true, Bren Tenkage is a mutant lover
Fniff1 09:14, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
"Look man,I don't know anything about no Jacob!You'll have to ask the loner,He's second in command while Bren is away.He is trusted with the information but you'll have to do a lot to get it out of him!"Said Sam
{{rpt|Brengarrett
He walks to Jason then Pulls out a Shotgun
"Mutant, do a broadcast say tothe Wasteland that Skyler is looking for Jacob, do it or else" He says
JAson: Ok ok, I don't want to cause any trouble
He activates the broadcast and speaks into the mmike (Skyler still had the gun pointed to his head)
Jason: Attention DC Wasteland, We are looking for a man named Jacob, if you know him direct him to the Super Duper MArt, reapeat Jacob to the Super Duper MArt 
Jason finishes and Skyler Sits down on a nearby chair
SKyler: Unlike most mutants you are a little weak
Jason: I know when to fight or not to fight
Skyler: Fine, since you helped me, I won't cause trouble in here
Fniff1 15:04, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
The loner went though the doors and said "You got a lot of enemies.Regulators,BOS,MOS,The crusade,Even goddamn Tenpenny wants your head on a stick.I'm about to do a favor to all of them." He pulled out his shotgun "We claws don't like your type.You aren't a demon.Not even a proper man.A school science fair project made at some godforsaken lab.The school fair is over,Time to dump the last place."
 
Skyler just pulls a bottle of dirty water and drinks it calmly
"Odd, my body doesn't seem to be affect by radiation, or at least it is strong against it" HE says
"Now I rather not fight, I am just ,looking for Jacob, only him" He says
He finishes the bottle
"Him and I arre 2 of a kind, which brigns up a question, how do you know about me?" HE asks
Fniff1 15:21, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
"A few years ago I found a lab,It was a burnt out wreak.But some holotapes were there.A lot of holotapes.Featuring you,Jacob and some dead fetus.I'm personally interested in you.Have you ever wondered what happens if you don't kill Jacob? NOTHING, there is no point in doing it.Suddenly a guy called Tom came in."I really think I should help you because you seem desperate to kill this guy Jacob.I'll find him and even get you all the stuff you want.Just join my group,The eagles,The exact opposite of the claws."Said Tom. "JESUS.THIS GUY ALWAYS COMES BACK!WHY DOES HE COME BACK!?!"The loner shouted.
"You are smart, now as for that Guy" He tosses a knife and it hits Tom in the Shoulder
"As for why I am hunting him, it is my purpose, nothing will stop me" He says coldly "Not even you, Dejan Malik, thats right I know your name, I know who you are, now that we got that out of the way, lets wait for Jacob to arrive, for entertainment lets put a ripper on that man's arms"
Fniff1 17:49, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Tom pulled out a radio."Johnson,Shell the place with the fat mans.You just sealed your fate,Skyler."Tom pulled out the knife and ran out of the super duper mart.They heard the doors click. "You B***tard.You just killed all of us."The loner said.
 (Ok it is funny but lets be a tad serious)
"If you were smart you would relize that he doesn't have that levil of Tech, he is bluffing" HE says calmly and after 15 minutes of waiitng nothing happens
"Told you, isn't it obivous, besides he hasn't left, he is in the ducts" he adds 
When they are surprised to hear this Skyler gets up and Stabs the Air Duct and blodd starts running down
"His scent is very unique, mixture of Sand and whores, and slight hint of wiskey, but now it is blood, like all the rest"
Jacob heard his radio crackle into life. The Outcasts? No, couldn't be.
He heard someone named Skyler was after him. Idiot, broadcasting it like that. He shook his head and moved off. His leg brace was really starting to get at him. It itched. Luckily,he'd be out of it soon, his limp was all but gone. Whoever those Enclave soldiers at the safehouse were, they were some of the best Jacob ever fought. He snarled as he heard about the Skyler fella threatening Jason. It had been a while since he spoke with Bren, but he knew Jason was ok. He hadn't even fought back when Jacob pulled a .44 Deagle on him.
Turning in the direction of the Super Duper Mart, Jacob walked awkwardly over the hilly ground, his Xualong Assault Rifle drawn, loaded and with one in the chamber already. He had just finished a custom job that moved the safety closer to the grip, allowing him to turn the safety off without moving his hand from the trigger. It had already helped him get the drop on a few unscrupulous scavvers. He had added a few other tasty features too, including a muzzle brake and a suppressor, as well as realigning the firing pin and adding a mount for a telescopic scope, making it effective at any range. It would be interesting to see how Skyler stood up to a HEI shot to the face at 400 yards.
"I think I will step out" Skyler said leaving the other 2 to clean up Tom (who is barely alive)
When he steps out he notices the now Sniping Jacob
"Well...not bad" He says before he is attack by a barrage of bullets but he begins to run to him quickly avoiding the shots
Andrew unleased a flury of shot's at skyler with 2 glancing his armor.
"jacob need some help"he called out
"Quick. Very quick. But not quick enough." Jacob commented as one of his shots clipped Skyler's shoulder, spinning him from his feet. He didn'teven notice what Andrew had said, he just signalled for him to go back inside.
Then, as if nothing had happened, Skyler curled up, and then launched himself to his feet (like a ninja), drawing an SMG as he went, all in one fluid movement. Skyler opened fire, churning up the little rise Jacob had been lying on just a second ago. Jacob rolled back down the hill, pulling off his leg brace as he went. It would only get in the way now. He winced as he looked at his shoulder, where a shot had clipped him.Not deep, but it was bleeding something fierce. He lunged back up the rise and opened fire again. Skyler ran left and returned fire. They both had to dive for cover as bullets cut through the darkening air.
Jacob snarled as bullets chewed up the concrete he was holed up behind. He lunged around the side of the rubble instead of going over the top. He caught Skyler by surprise, and pumped a pair of .44 shots into him. Jacob's bad leg threw him off, and the shots clipped Skyler, only catching his knee and hand, doing no serious damage.
Skyler shot back, and Jacob had to roll back behind cover. Jason and Andrew stared from inside the Super Duper Mart. The two men were moving like a pair of bullet-spewing blurs of movement. Neither could land a telling blow on the other, both were going hell for leather into the combat. Skyler showed no signs of tiring, and Jacob hadn't even warmed up yet.
"Unless something major happens, they'll be at this for days!" Andrew muttered to Jason, who just nodded.
Fniff1 19:22, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
"Look,Tom,I could find the best doctor in the wasteland to help you.Just please send a goddamn army to kill Skyler.I can't do it,You can't but this guy is just a clone!Send an entire army and the die like rabbits!" The loner said. "Ok...Johnson,Please...Send all of my army to super duper mart....Please oh god..."Tom turned off the radio. "Now where is the doctor?" The loner pulled out a gun. "Here he is." And the loner shot him.
Brengarrett 19:31, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
SKyler and Jacob look at each other and Skyler pulls off his Trenchcoat to reveal the porotype power armer (it is almost like recon armer but it has more cover)
"This armer is the strongest in the enclave it's metal is a combination of Steel alloy with daimond mixed" HE says and he equips his DeathClaw Gauntlets and they once again begin to fight, JAcob keeps using his SMG to both block the Guantlets and fight back but the Armer is too strong from the bullets
Fniff1 19:40, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
"Alright men,This is no human.Some of us may live.Some won't but keep in mind this man killed our commander.We need to kill this thing."Outside the super duper mart area there was an army (Only about 77 but still that was the best they had.) ready to kill anybody and anything that went outside super duper mart. They weren't goingt to get close but whoever survives the fight and comes out,dies.
Finally, Jacob was able to get some distance and fired his assault rifle again, forcing Skyler to run for cover or be blasted to pulp by the HEI bullets.
Skyler was starting to sweat now. Jacob was much better than he had anticipated. Jankowski had always said the Jacob would be no threat, an inferior warrior, and yet, here he was, just as fast, just as accurate, and just as skilled as himself. Skyler roared in pain as a shot ricocheted off the concrete and clipped his hand, nearly blowing off his thumb. There was no way a ricochet like that was accidental. This Jacob really could shoot around corners. A sensation Skyler had never known until now crept up inside him. Doubt.
Jacob didn't let up, firing continuously for almost two minutes now. He kept Skyler pinned down as he advanced on Skyler's hiding place. Then, Skyler broke cover, leaping towards Jacob and kicking him to the ground. Jacob hadn't predicted that, even though it was exactly what he would have done himself. That felt like being hit by a Deathclaw. Jacob rolled as Skyler lunged downwards with a punch aimed at his head. The punch missed by a hair's breadth, cracking the asphalt under its impact. Jacob lunged to his feet and threw a punch. Skyler dodged, and Jacob hit the car behind him, leaving a visible dent in the bodywork. Skyler punched upwards into Jacob's gut, launching him backwards. Jacob rolled as he landed to dissipate the impact and threw an instinctive kick at Skyler's thigh, connecting with a satisfying thud. Skyler grabbed him in a bearhug, attempting to break Jacob's spine. Jacob dug his fingers into Skyler's eye and then landed a bone-crunching headbutt. Skyler dropped him and staggered back, holding his shattered nose. Jacob pressed the advantage, landing a series of punishing kicks, until Skyler found his balance and caught the last kick in both hands. He swung Jacob around by the leg, putting him clean through one of the small shelters between the rows of parking spaces.
Both of them stood up, and drew knives. Skyler threw his, turned and ran into the darkening night. Jacob collapsed against the car behind him. He felt utterly drained. He forced himself to his feet and staggered towards the relative safety of the Super Duper Mart.
Brengarrett 19:51, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
"This man...he can't be this strong....he is only inferior, I was created to be a demon" He thought with his rage rising
"JACOB COME AND FIGHT" He shouts and he pulls out the shotgun and begins to sniff the air
"Found you" He says and fires one shot and it hits JAcob in the back of the LEgknocking him down
"Time for you to die" HE says and he gets in front of Jacob and holds the shotgun to his face
"So any last words JAcob?" He asks in a dark demon like tone
Fniff1 20:03, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
"You do know that if you kill someone,'Demon',An angel cries out.Guess which angel cried." The loner said."Unless you want to kill him yourself,I'm going to help you,Jacob.I mean,The claws owe you."
"You, have annoyed me for so long" HE says to dejan and he wlaks to him and he pulls out his Deathclaw Guantless
"You will die fir-"
He is cut off by a gun shot into his shoulder taking some blood causing him to fall to the ground
"How about I show you what the devil looks like." Jacob snarled and drew his knife again, and tossed it calmly into the join between the chest and shoulder plating of Skyler's armor. It slid in effortlessly, rendering Skyler's left arm useless.
Jacob grabbed Skyler's combat shotgun as he dropped it and fired a blast into his gut, dropping him like a tonne of bricks. Jacob got up and pulled his knife from Skyler's armpit, and prepared for the killing blow. Skyler kicked out, sending Jacob to the concrete. The battle now took to the ground, as the two rolled across the car park, kicking, biting and gouging as they went. Jacob managed to get Skyler's gauntlets off, and managed to get loose of his headlock. Jacob then rolled on top and laid into Skyler's face, punching so hard he slammed the back of Skyler's head into the curb with each strike.
Skyler arched his back suddenly, tossing Jacob off. Jacob landed heavily on a car, denting the bonnet. He rolled backwards off the car as Skyler landed rightwhere his head had been a fraction of a second earlier. Jacob shed his duster and began circling Skyler. Each one was trying to second guess the other. Both had a flawless combat stance, and neither were giving anything away through facial expression.Then with wordless roars, they hurled themselves at each other again. They collided in mid air, each falling to the ground where the other had leapt from. They lunged to their feet. Jacob grabbed a piece of car wreckage, a wing panel. He slammed it into Skyler's head, then held it against his face and began punching it, pounding the steel against Skyler's already broken nose and cracked cheekbones. Skyler then punched clean through the panel, landing a blow on Jacob that cracked at least two ribs.
He went for a second punch but Jacob deflected the blow and put a joint lock on Skyler's wrist. Skyler was too strong for that lock to break his wrist, but it gave Jacob some much needed time to whale the tar out of Skyler's kidney's. Skyler then performed a backward somersault, unwrenching his arm, and nearly tearing Jacob's shoulder from the socket. Jacob recovered quicker, and punched Skyler again, sending him reeling. Skyler then regained his balance and booted Jacob in the stomach, flooring him again. Jacob spun to his feet, capoieria style, and delivered a kick on the way up.
Fniff1 20:18, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
"Seems still alive,I'll take care of it." He take his ripper out."How would you like it?Fast and gory or slow and gory?"
Jacob shoved him out of the way as Skyler drew his own ripper and went for Loner's femoral artery. Jacob picked up Loner's ripper as Skyler forced his shoulder back into the socket with a sickening crack.
"Another time, Vaughton, another time." Skyler snarled and ran. This time, he was gone. Jacob helped Loner to his feet and the two of them stumbled back to the Super Duper Mart.
Fniff1 20:34, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
"So....Want to get some sleep?You look kinda tired.Been a weird day." They went into the pharmacist and were greeted by Eliz and Finn,The loner's dog."Who is the Guy?"Eliz wrote on a piece of paper."Well go on then,Say who you are to the lady!"The loner said.
"Jacob Vaughton. Does she speak at all, or just not English?" Jacob said to Eliz and the Loner, respectively.
He sat down on one of the matresses, ignoring the indignant look on the mute girl's face as he hefted the dog out of the way. He pulled off his combat armor, and set it down on the floor. He put his duster down on the floor next to it, pulled some bandages from it and began wrapping up his forearm and shoulder. He pumped a Stimpak into his chest to speed up his ribs, and one into his bad knee. That Skyler fellow had done more damage by himself than all of those Enclave boys did together.
Jacob ran a hand through his hair, scratched his chin and sighed. He needed a shave and a haircut. He looked up at the mute again, but the look on her face was no longer indignant. Jacob wasn't good at guessing human emotions other than anger, fear and the like. He had always been better at analysing emotion. He was probably on target in thinking the look was more than a little approving, judging by the look on the Loner's face. He grunted and keeled over to the side, falling asleep before he'dhit the ground.
Skyler was running angry at himself for being weak, but he did slaughter silently the soliders outside of the area with his Guantlets, but he was in need of help, so he is running to the Base of Operation on the Chimera in the DC area
SDM
JAson lays a blanket over the sleeping Jacob
JAson: I got the body of thaty weird guy cleaned up, but it was tough t oget the blood stains out 
Jason smiles at Dejan
Fniff1 08:58, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
"You know....I never thought Tom could die like that.He must have known the risk..."Mused the loner. Out side Sam was putting up a few turrets.He added a few mods,Laser sighting,Night Vision,Bigger round,Body heat lock on,Missiles....It was difficult but he never wanted that creature any where near this camp. At 12 The loner got up and smoked a cigarette.He never tried them before.
 Sorry for taking control of Jason for so long
Jacob woke slowly, it was about 1:30. He couldn't quite see the clock on the far wall, his eyes still hurt a little from being hit in the head by Skyler. He ached all over. He looked out through a gap in the boarding over the windows. That techie was modifying the turrets in some way. Not that it would help, if Jacob could take out the turrets before they noticed him, which he could, then so could Skyler.
The Loner coughed on the far side of the room. Probably his first time smoking. Jacob didn't like smoking. He did if it was part of his cover, on the rare occasions he infiltrated a raider crew before wiping them out, but he really didn't like it. Jason, the Super Mutant was sat down, reading some old, heavy-looking book.
"Mr. Vaughton, do you know the story of Saint Michael the Archangel?" Jason asked. He was reading a bible. "He lead the Army of God against Satan, and cast Satan into hell. Perhaps there is a parallel between him and you."
"I'm no angel, never mind an Archangel, Jason. But I know the story, and the prayer." Jacob said.
"Jacob, I have a question." Jason said quietly. Jacob nodded, giving him the go ahead. "Aren't you afraid to die? You fought Skyler when you could have left him be. He inflicted such harm on you. Why did you help us when you could have walked away?"
"I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to. I fought Skyler because its me he wants. I won't have someone else suffer in my battles." Jacob muttered.
"And if you die, what then? Do you believe in Heaven?" Jason asked.
"When I die, I want no part in Heaven. I would not do Heaven's work well. But I hope to see Heaven sometime, thats where my family are now." Jacob said, before standing up and walking some of the pain out of his legs.
Fniff1 14:01, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
The loner coughed. "Will smoking calm you down?Because I'm not so F*cking calm now" Said the loner. "I would have drunk some coffee,But there haven't bein any left for 200 years"
 
Jacob shook his head.
"Smoking doesn't calm you. Nicotine raises your blood pressure, meaning it does the exact opposite. It's the deep breathing you do while smoking that calms you. As an aside, there's enough pure nicotine in half a pack to kill you stone dead if you injected it straight into your bloodstream. Not sure if thats half of a ten pack or a twenty though." Jacob said to him as he stretched out his arms. The mute girl was staring at him again.
He looked around the place.
"Where's Bren anyway? I owe him one broken jaw after he got one of my safehouses trashed." Jacob said, referring to his boat in New York.
Fniff1 14:14, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
"Oh that's just great.I'm now addicted to cigarettes.That's just great.So I guess that there would be a nicotine patch around here?Anyway,He's gone to the big apple.You know,If I told my friends that back at arryo,They would have bein freaked out.Anyway,It's more of a rotten apple now." The loner said."Did you know they have a game back there called The chosen one VS the enclave?It's tag but with chosen ones and the enclave.It's really fun"
 
"Never been further West than the Kansas-Colorado Border. And I don't plan on going back anytime soon. They got big, Hairy Deathclaws up in Chicago. Not a pretty sight, let me tell you that. And what the hell is tag?" Jacob grunted. The mute was still keeping an eye on him. The Loner looked a little peeved at that, so Jacob decided to ignore her.
Fniff1 14:28, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
"By god! Have you read more then one holotape?That's why I talk like this,Because some Irish comedy guy made a holotape and I listened to it." Said the loner.
 
"I've read plenty of holotapes. Just none on children's games. What use would they be these days. I suggest you find a more useful hobby. Like martial arts." Jacob said blankly.
The mute was up with anote that read "Wanna fight?"
Jacob looked to the Loner.
"Is she serious?" Jacob asked.
She wrote a new note, "Just friendly-like."
Fniff1 14:40, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
"Don't do it,I did a fight with her 'friendly like' and she almost ripped off my jaw."The loner said
Brengarrett 14:42, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
Jason looks impressed 
Jason: This will be like the Time The Greek Took on the Trojens, quite a fight
 
"What harm could it do." Jacob mutterd as Eliz squared up to him. She extended her hand as some kind of salute. As Jacob gripped her hand to shake it, her facial expression turned savage.
As she pulled on his arm, she twisted it into an arm bar. Jacob slammed his head back into her face, spun round and delivered a brutal kick to her side. She skidded across the floor as he hopped to regain his balance. She stood up and ran at him again. They went at each other, blow for blow, lock for lock and grapple for grapple for a good two minutes until Jacob trapped both of her arms in one hold, backing her up as he landed a few knee-kicks to her midriff. She threw him off, launching him over a shelf row. He got back to his feet as she tried to press the advantage.
He saw the attack coming a mile away. He deflected her punch and landed his own right in her gut, knocking the wind out of her. As she staggered, he took a hold of her head and delivered a knee strike to the side of it. She sprawled across the floor. He circled, and as she was getting back to her feet, he stepped, jumped, and landed a flying haymaker punch on the way down. She hit the floor with a dull thud and lay there for a while, rolling on to her back to catch her breath.
"She nearly ripped off your jaw? Jacob asked the Loner incredulously. "Good thing you're a sniper then."
Fniff1 15:02, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
The loner made some soup out of some dead mole rat that got shot at by the turrets. "The smell of burnt mole rat adds to the taste"The loner had said.As they were eating it Georgie asked a question "I may be a pyromaniac but I do know when we need a job,So when the hell is our next job?"
 
"Came across a scav team near the National Guard Bunker, said they were looking for some Mirelurk King's treasure pit or something. They were probably high off their faces on Jet." Jacob said.
He finished his soup and got to training. His usual routine. He didn't care who was watching, and he ignored Jason when he said he shouldn't be working so hard after a fight with Skyler.If he was going to kill this Skyler,he was going to need to be better, faster and stronger than he had ever been before, and every little helped.
--
Skyler was thinking similarly as he cut down another Deathclaw. The last one, crippled, tried to scramble away, but Skyler jumped on its back and plunged his gauntlet into it's spine. He had had to discard one of his gauntlets after Jacob destroyed it. He had found a medical brace and a belt, now all he needed was wonderglue, and he would have another gauntlet that could be baptised in Jacob's blood.
He turned in the direction of the Super Duper Mart and roared an utterly inhuman series of bellows. He had probably just drawn every predator in the area to him, but it mattered not. They were only prey for the demon.
Fniff1 15:28, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
The loner was looking though his scope when he saw Skyler."I SAW SKYLER! SAM PUT ON THE TURRETS!LONIK SPRAY SOME DANGEROUS PLANT LIFE!FINN RUN LIKE THE WIND!MOVE MOVE!
 
"Calm down Dejan, calm down." Jacob said, trying to be soothing. "He's not ready to come back yet, just calm down."
The Loner was clearly having none of this, but everyone else stood down so as not to draw Skyler to them. The Loner went to take a shot, butthen Jacob and Eliz both punched him at the same time, dropping him. Jacob picked up Loner's rifle and looked through the scope. It really was Skyler, haring off into the night again. It had probably been him making all that noise about five minutes ago too.
Fniff1 16:03, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
"How do you kill a clone..... You probably send Eliz to kill it.Yes...That's it!We just need to send Eliz to it.He may be part yao gaui,But we have a part deathclaw!What ya think everyone?" Said the loner after waking up. "I mean,I'm about this close to going f*cking insane"
 
"Close? Try too far gone." Jacob muttered. "And if I could beat Eliz, Skyler will kill her."
He ignored the indignant look Eliz gave him. Whether she liked it or not, Jacob was the only person short of the Vault Dweller or the Chosen One who could kill Skyler. He drew a knife and starte sharpening it. The quiet snikt of the whetstone sliding along the blade was the only sound now that everyone seemed to understand just how much of a threat Skyler was.
Fniff1 16:21, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
"You know,This guy seems quite eager to kill you,So why don't I make a tripwire that sets off a propane tank to explode while we watch him burn. It'll have to be in somewhere like,The dunwich building."Sam said.
 
"I wouldn't fall for a party trick like that, so neither would he. We're two sides of the same coin. He fights like me, he thinks like me. I don't know how or why. Its maddening, he knows as much, if not more about me than I do. When I fought with the Outcasts, I started asking questions. I can do things I don't remember learning. I don't remember getting much in the way of training with the Enclave or the Regulators, but I went toe-to-toe with Skyler. He knows why and I don't. It's driving me insane!" Jacob grumbled.
He looked at the gathered crowd. He had no right to drag them into this. They had come along willingly, but he had to lose them somehow. Who knew how many Skyler would kill before Jacob got a hold of him.
Brengarrett 17:10, 13 March 2009 (UTC) (Can we set up a 2nd page please?)
Skyler was just done killing a tradfer that happen to have some ammo and wonder glue so his is bluiding the Death claw Gaunetlet when he remebers somthing from his "childhood"
Flash Back
A Doctor Voice: Sir If he gets to stressed out he becomes feral, he would be a danger to anyone around him and himself
The HEad: I don't care, he is the best we got, once we kill Jacob he will the protoype for our Soliders Eden will be proud to have us (this is before Edan was destroyed)
Docotr: But...I know he is an orphan but he is a child do we have to subject him to Death Claws while he is 11
The next sound his a gunshot killing the docotr then the scene returns to Normal
"Oh my head...I wonder if my Brother has any idea what I had to suffer to find him" (He refers to Jacob as a Brother due to the fact theiir "PArents" where the same)
"Maybe I should talk to him..." He says to himself
BAck at the Base a knocking is heard o nthe door and Jason answers it it is none other then Maria
Jason: Why Hello Little Lady what is your name?
MAria screams and begins to fire 10 mm Bullets at him
 
Before anyone could react, Jacob had pulled a .44 and cracked off a shot towards whoever was shooting at Jason. The bullets clipped Maria's arm, forcing her to drop her weapon. A second later, everyone was at the door, pointing some form or another of weapon at her. Even Finn, the dog looked ready for a fight.
Jacob could smell the Raider on her. He cocked his weapon and prepared to fire.
Brengarrett 18:36, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
"WAIT!" She cried out " I was sent here by Bren to join the Claws, this is the Claws headquarters right?" She asks
JAson: It sure is
She screams again
Jason: Uhhh....?
Fniff1 18:47, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
While this was all happening,The loner slipped out the back,Knowing that even Jacob couldn't do the job.He needed to do it.
 
Everyone but Jacob lowered their weapons. He held his unwavering, pointed between her eyes. Raider. He couldn't let even one off. There was no way he was going to let himself go soft.
Everyone was looking at him now. His eyes narrowed. It was only him, her and the gun. Everything else was trivial. None of the others could stop him. Not this close. Bren was working with Raiders now.
"Maybe I was wrong about Bren. Maybe we're on different sides now." Jacob thought as he prepared to fire.
Someone do something! He doesn't compromise!
Fniff1 19:01, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
The loner was walking past the mart when he saw Jacob taking aim.He ran in and stood,Blocking Jacob's aim. "Don't do this!"The loner said
 
"Shot'll just go clean through you Dejan. You'll live, but she won't. Don't get in my way. I'm the last person you want getting wind that you and Bren track with Raiders now." Jacob growled.
Jacob saw Jason moving up alongside in the corner of his eye.
"Do not be a slave to your desires, Jacob. Self control is what seperates the likes of you from the Raiders." Jason muttered.
Jacob's aim didn't falter. Then he eased the hammer forward and holstered his weapon.
"Be on your best behaviour, Raider. One wrong move and you die." Jacob snarled at Maria. "And so does anyone that tries to stop me." Jacob added, looking at the rest of the group.
Fniff1 19:27, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
The loner pulled out a cigarette."OK,We can't kill Skyler by ourselves,but we can kill him by numbers.Look,Skyler has a lot of enemies,and that will be his downfall.The BOS,Regulators,EMAA,MOS...They all hate him.We can get the regulators and the BOS to come help us kill him!Unless off course Jacob wants to kill him Himself.And also you can join the claws regardless 
of your race or history Jacob."
--Vegas adict 19:32, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
"he's right jacob if you want to kill skyler my men and the rest of the EMAA will help.He's part of the enclave and that mean's he's our enamy as well"
 
"Skyler is mine. Numbers won't work. He's too smart. Combat-smart, that is. And it will take too long to stop the people we call in from arguing to prevent Skyler dividing and conquering. And I don't care much for who can join you. If she plays the raider, I play the vigilante. And don't try to stop me. I'd hate to have to kill you." Jacob grumbled.
Jacob got geared up. He was heading after Skyler, whether the Claws wanted to follow or not.
Brengarrett 19:52, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
Skyler was listening to all of this on top of the super Duper mart roof (he climbed up) and when Jacob walks out he jumps down behind him
"Don't move, I dont want to fight, I want to talk....like why did you leave" He asks
--Vegas adict 19:56, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
Andrew followed jacob and saw him talking to skyler.he called out to his men "keep your sites on skyler if he makes a move shot him"
Fniff1 20:04, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
The loner saw this.He drew his ripper.
 
"I left the Enclave because my parents were killed by mutants, and the Enclave were letting the mutants run free everywhere outside of the compounds. They weren't the benevolent saviours i was told they were." Jacob said. "Some EMAA fool's aiming at your head, too. Take a step to the left, break his line of sight."
Brengarrett 20:10, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
"I noticed" He syas and moves out of thew line of sight " Maybe I was wroong about you, they told me that you were mindless killing machine....I can tell alot about a person just by fighting them once, perhaps I was wrong about you" He says
Fniff1 20:11, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
The loner went 6 steps closer.
--Vegas adict 20:14, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
"keep tracking him im going to move in" he walked toward's vaughton "vaughton why are you talking to him he's a enclave oprative a mindless killing machine"
 
Jacob ignored the EMAA commander, and then noticed that Skyler was still bleeding from a wound in his flank, right next to his liver. He wasn't in the best of shape. Jacob could kill him without much effort, as long as he kept going to Skyler's right.
"Why shouldn't I just smear you all over the concrete?" Jacob said to Skyler. "What is it that's keeping me from putting you on an all expenses paid trip down Stygian cruise lines?"
Fniff1 20:18, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
The loner was only a pane of glass away from ripping apart Skyler.
--Vegas adict 20:19, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
"leave it jacob get the LVBOS to preform a memory wipe and voila no more skyler"
Fniff1 20:21, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
The loner jumped.
Brengarrett 20:27, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
"Simple I a holding a frag in my pocket and if I pul lthe pin we all go sky high, including the anoying guy whyo is trying to sneak up on me" He says and He points at Dejan with his left hand (his right is in his pocket) " I have somthing to do, I need to speak to "Father" back at the old home" He begins to Walk away "Oh and JAcob, thanks for the fight I needed it" ( He wants to Talk to the Scietence that made him this, so it will be bloody)
Fniff1 20:29, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
The loner falls down and rolls. "DAMN IT!! I WAS SO CLOSE!" He shouted.
--Vegas adict 20:30, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
"jacob do you think we should follow him"
Fniff1 20:32, 13 March 2009 (UTC) 
The loner got up and ran at the direction Skyler was going
 
The BOS can't perform memory wipes! That goes against their philosophy for one (they'd want to find out what Skyler knew, not destroy the knowledge), and two, they don't have the tech
Jacob looked at Skyler. Then he nodded. Between the two of them, the men standing around didn't last two seconds. Jacob and Skyler sprinted away from the now unconscious men, leaving the others, standing on the far side of the Mart, none the wiser. No one would find out about Skyler talking with Jacob until they were long gone.
"This had better be worth sparing you Skyler." Jacob growled as they ran.After that, neither of them spoke, it would just use up air that they needed to keep running.
Brengarrett 20:37, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
(We could do the whole trvel or we could just fast travel and say it took [Insert days]] to reach it)
--Vegas adict 20:43, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
for the 1000th time if the bos were from a top secret milatry bunker they might have the tech and the EMAA is NOT the BOS But they might ask the bos to do it
andrew woke up.skyler and jacob were gone tha last thing he remembered was a fist coming towards him."goddamit jacob you traitor"over in the corner dejan was waking up. he called out to him "are you going to folow them because if you are you'l need 2nd company's opressor's to catch up with them"he turned on his comm "this is andrew requesting one opressor for transport"
Brengarrett 20:47, 13 March 2009 (UTC)(Not to bitch to you but this is focussing on a little Clsure in Skyler's heart he is going to slaughter Enclave soliders, you might not want to follow the 2 becausee togather they are like 100 enclave soliders wearing the best damn power armer and all using Fat Men)
Fniff1 20:48, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
(Well I really like the idea of the loner going insane a bit.)
 
Keyword being military, not CIA. The Enclave might have that (I see Raikov's memory grafts coming from electrical pulses given off by a modified CT Scan), but its improbable that the BOS would. Sorry about the EMAA thing, I'm just used to you using the LVBOS
Jacob and Skyler were already up past Raven Rock, holed up in one of Jacob's Safehouses. Jacob had a loaded gun pointed at Skyler at all times, now that the bleeding from his liver had stopped. He really had shaken Skyler's beliefs in the Enclave. Otherwise, one of them would be dead by now.
He had a feeling that Loner would be following them, he was going a little nuts, but they'd been careful not to leave an obvious trail since passing the Deathclaw Sanctuary. Only Jacob or Skyler could track them once they left this Safehouse, and they were going to be travelling together.
Fniff1 21:01, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
The loner had a lot of connections.Some people had seen them around they're towns.Judging by the patterns,The loner was finding out where they were going.
--Vegas adict 21:03, 13 March 2009 (UTC)(read my character's in previous RP's do they ever do the sensible thing or listen to other people.Ps an EMAA regiment would outnumber the enclave 10 to 1)
"this is smith contact comfirmed past raven's rock" andrew spat on the floor they were going faster than he expected and the opresor had to go round town's istead of through them "godamit tell me where they stop" the APC trundled into the night
Brengarrett 21:05, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
"So, any idea what they did to us, they made us monsters and yet we can think like man, so what are we?" HE asks, his voice wasn't cold but more of a philosper, the memorys of the pain he ordealed became more and more painful as they flash into his mind
"Honestly what is our purpose for life?"
 
"I'm not the man to ask about this, Skyler. I have gaps a mile widein my memory before thirteen. I'd bet my left arm you know more than me. Lets move, they're probably catching up on us already." Jacob muttered. He stood up and strode out the door, with Skyler in tow.
They got moving again, off into the night. They'd have gone miles by daybreak, and once they got out of Northeast Enclave territory, they'd be home free.
Fniff1 21:20, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
As they went bumping around in the APC the loner said "I see them! I think I see em!"
 
Jacob heard an APC behind them. It was either the EMAA or the Crusade. He grabbed Skyler and dropped into a large crater. They followed it around, and then crouched at the far side.
"I knew these'd come in handy!" Jacob laughed as he pulled out a pair of Stealthboys. He handed one to Skyler and activated his own. Then they rushed off into the darkness again.
"Try catch us now you tank-riding bastards!" He thought to himself as they sprinted away.
Fniff1 21:33, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
The loner took out a machine gun and fired at all directsions.
Brengarrett 21:33, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
SKyler for good measure drops some minor frag mines on the ground, not enough to kill but they are good enough to scare someone
 
Fniff1, a Fat Man in all directions? What did we say about doing crazy things in the New York RP
Jacob dived away as a passing Molerat set off one of Skyler's frag mines. They were small. But that's call the EMAA right down on them.
"Fuckin' Molerats!" Jacob snarled
Brengarrett 21:42, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
"No this is good, the molerats don't see us but they thin kthe Molerats will be us, I used this method one time, they died faster then you can say Enclave" He syas as they continue running
Fniff1 21:44, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
(A machine gun how about that?)
 
Better. Much better than nuking everything within a square kilometer
Jacob wasn't entirely sure what Skyler was on about, but it was strangely assuring.
"As long as its not us doing the killing." Jacob called over the sound of Loner's machinegun fire set off more frag mines behind them.
Fniff1 21:56, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
"Damn it!"The loner said and he took out a few Electromagnetic pulse mines.About 8."Lets see where you are,Ol skyler."He knew that if they went near a mine there stealth boys would be gone and they wouldn't be unnoticeable.
Brengarrett 21:57, 13 March 2009 (UTC)(I'm gonna go off, SKyler wants revendge for his life that is is motivation, kay Run, also is trying not to kill right now)
he smiled and turned on the comm "jacob did you rearly think that stealthboys would help you in the EMAA we train our men to spot the shimer they leave you cant hide from us"the driver spoted the shimer and folowed them
Fniff1 10:42, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
The loner tossed a few pulse mines.He couldn't see em,But they were going to see them when they're stealth boys malfunction.
Brengarrett 19:27, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
Skyler smells somthing odd
"Hmmm, Copper coil with a small bt of electricy conductive metals, pulse mines, better be carefukl, butsorry I have t odo this" HE thinks and he fires a 32 shot from a pistiol and it hits the Loner in the shoulder to give him the message to leave or duie
Fniff1 19:46, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
"STUPID! YOU JUST REVEALED YOUR LOCATION!" The loner took his machine gun out and fired at the area he was shot.
Jacob rolled his eyes. Skyler had gone and shot the Loner. He spun and headbutted an EMAA soldier. He had no such fondness for this man as he had for Loner. He had double tapped the man before he his the ground, drawing and firing his .44 in one fluid movement.
"Loner! Leave now! This is between me and Skyler. As I said before, I'd hate to have to kill you." Jacob shouted. He walked away this time. He didn't want to charge into a pulse mine right in the middle of an EMAA search party. At least the shimmer of the Stealthboys wouldn't be as obvious at night.
Brengarrett 20:19, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
SKyler was hit in the shoulder (samearea that Jacob shjot him) and felt the sting of poain, if the Loner keeps chasing them all the way to Californ a he would die from exastution
Fniff1 20:24, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
The loner got out and took out his ripper. "Lets settle this man to whatever you ar-" He walked on a frag mine.He hit against the APC. After 5 minutes he got up. The right side of his face looked torn off. "Hey guys, Is there a job here in megaton?" His voice sounded eerie. The loner just got a bad case of shell-shock.
Brengarrett 20:25, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
Skyler was kind enough to toss a stimpack at the guy (conks his face too)
Fniff1 20:27, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
"Where am I?I was in megaton a secound ago!Jesus Christ what the hell is going on?" The loner said.
"vaughton im giving you one last chance show yourself or that APC back there stat's blasting away with its plasma canon and minigun.I could call a whole sea-king strike you know so could you and skyler just put your hand's up and be arested"
Fniff1 20:49, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
"I think we would like the honer of killing him." A guy on top of a buggy said. "We want to kill him slow."
Jacob shook his head. EMAA assholes. He looked at Skyler, or at least where he thought Skyler was.
"Go!" Jacob shouted. The two of them sprinted along towards the tank, ignoring the pulse mines as they shut down their stealthboys. They were less than five feet from the APC now. The Loner was half conscious, and looked like he was fading, but Jacob booted him in the head just to be sure. Then the two of them turned their attention to the APC. Jacob vaulted the turret as Skyler jumped onto the back.
Skyler wasn't up to much with that shoulder, so Jacob had to do the work now. He nailed the colonel with a heavy cross punch and pulled him out of the APC. 
"Not so much of a badass when you can't shoot at us with a tank then." Jacob snarled as he landed a headbutt and launched the colonel off the APC with a kick to the chest. He and Skyler dropped into the APC's troop compartment and all hell broke loose.
Fniff1 21:03, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
"The eagles said Hi" And the buggy started up and rammed into the APC on the other side at 110 MPH.
He pulled himself up."ah fuck this vaughton EMAA control send in my elite in there sea-king" the sea-king was rapidly aproaching at about 200MPH and the liberator's were jumping out.As the first man landed andrew smiled there was no way that vaughton could beat the liberators."vaughton get out of the APC now!"
Sea kings go 166 at the fastest. And its the physics, not the engine, before anyone says anything about newer engines
"HEI bullets asshole!" Jacob bellowed, spraying the sea king. The shots punched into the fuselage and ignited the fuel lines. Unfortunately, the liberators were all out by the time the chopper finally dropped and burst apart.
Now all he had to do was put down these liberators.
Fniff1 21:25, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
The Eagles came over and took out a mezmeron.He aimed at him and fired.
"Lberators pull back and keep an eye on vaughton god damm you vaughton just surender" with both the sea king and the opressor out of action they were traped out heer for a while.
Even if it could, ramming an APC at 140mph with a buggy would kill everyone inside the buggy
Jacob dropped off the far side of the APC as a mesmetron bolt arced past his head. He fired under the APC, catching a man's shins, blasting his lower legs clean off. He hoped that was the man with the mesmetron.
He scrambled over the top of the APC and dropped back in. Skyler was in the driver's seat.
"GO, go, go!" Jacob roared. The engine coughed into life as Skyler slammed the throttle open. They trundled off, hoping not to run anyone over as they went.
Fniff1 21:50, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
The loner was looking for answers to why he was suddenly not in megaton. He saw a APC starting up when he ran to it and grasped on to the top.
"ah fuck we'l never catch them in that" he swore and turned his comm back on " send me the fasted veichell we have" in the distance a desert raider APC came up and he and the liberators mounted up the trackers showed that the opressor was moving towards the enclave ocupied area.The desert raider caught up with them quickly but they stayed hiden to avoid the opressors canon destroying them.
==Act 2==
Brengarrett 22:26, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
SKyler was still running, he was wondering why they were looking for them in his mind because if he was them, he would have been happy to see himself go
Back at the SDM
Jason: So umm MAria is it?
Maria: Uh yeah
Jason: Where is Bren?
MAria: I have no idea, he left NEw York on his own, he went West but I never heard from him since he told me to head here
Sam: Odd, I wonder what is going through Bren's Mind?
Jason: I hope he is ok 
(Just somthing I wanted to add)
Jacob grumbled. Skyler really was a terrible driver. And the APC's HUD was telling them that there was a frielndly vehicle thirty yards off to the left, in a dried up river bed. Jacob ignored it and tried to concentrate on the road ahead. Why were those idiots following them? They were about to make a run through Enclave territory. And if the EMAA had this stuff, then the Enclave probably had a forty foot robot with laser eyes and could throw mini nukes. He shuddered to think.
He couldn't help but shiver at the thought of more people like him and Skyler. If the Enclave had groups of them, then why hadn't they just used them and cleared out the other factions one by one? Maybe there weren't enough. That couldn't be it, they'd still use them as assassins to rip the throat out of enemy factions (that means to kill off their leadership). Bureaucrats. At long last, it turned out that they were good for something.
Fniff1 22:38, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
The loner went down and tried to open the door of the APC."Hey Let me in!" He shouted.
Brengarrett 22:43, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
Skyler sighs
"Take the Wheel" He says top JAcob and he gos to the door and opens it then Grabs Dejan by his shirt and tosses him i nbefore shutting the door
"I have to admit you are the only person other then JAcob here to annoy me like that, since you have to come, I will let you be with us, only if you obay every order and don't question anything, do I make myself clear and if not we will find out what the effect of tossing a man with a frag tied to his back outside of a moving APC"
Fniff1 22:47, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
"OK,OK" He said. "Just please don't kill me."
Jacob sidled over onto the drivers seat. Skyler was just being stupid. Dejan would get them all killed out here in enemy territory. Jacob would have just had mercy and given him a Mozambique Drill. He shook his head.
"Shoot him Skyler. He's shell shocked. He'll have a nervous breakdown next time he hears gunshots." Jacob grunted. The colour drained from Dejan's face. Skyler shook his head.
"It is not his fight, Jacob, why should he suffer for it?" Skyler said. Now that he wasn't trying to kill Jacob and anyone who tried to stop him, he probably wouldn't kill anyone that wasn't an immediate danger to them.
Brengarrett 22:53, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
"Alright let me explain the plan, what we are going to do is head to californa and head to the base of Project Warrior Weapons, Jacob left because he knew the truth of the Enclave, me...well I just learned so I need to speak with the head of the Project, now then if you are going to help I will need to know all your tools, ammo, weapons, ect that you have on you to make this work" HE says
Fniff1 23:02, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
"I'm from California! I know the way around.Just please,Tell me what's going on after this!"The Loner said.
"Project Warrior what?" Jacob called back into the crew compartment. He swerved to avoid a tree as he looked back at the road. Apparently he was a terrible driver too. He loaded his pistol. "Dejan, everything is on a need to know basis. And what this is all about, you don't need to know."
Brengarrett 23:07, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
Now SKyler was confued
"wait you don't know what Profect Warrior Weapon is?" HE asks Jacob
"Wait they never told you huh? Fine impuit on the cordinates, setors 45156 that should be where the base is"
"Damn right they never told me." Jacob grumbled. And I don't think this thing know what you're talking about, it's coordinate sectors only go to 37757
Fniff1 23:12, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
"Project warrior weapons.....Two clones....Project demon....It all adds up! You two aren't human! Your clones"The loner said.
Brengarrett 23:14, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
"Clones?" He says "Now your crazy, that is as likey as a plumber becoming a hero (just a little gaming joke)" HE adds "Seems my memory is going, just drive us to an Enclave base and we can find the arrior Weapon base" HE says
The Enclave don't have a Warrior Weapons base in every Enclave fortress. Its on the back burner, not to mention only the Enclave top tier know about it. And Skyler's memory wouldn't go, he didn't have memory grafts, he's Chimera, not WW
"I dunno, clones, demons, Post-Humans. Sound like the Enclave, but not like something they'd have a room for in every base. My bet's on California." Jacob sighed.
He pushed the APC into top gear and sped up, pulling away from that little friendly blip in the ravine as it followed the riverbed. He looked out through the windscreen, and saw an Enclave officer spending a penny up ahead. He had no time, or desire, to swerve. Seconds later, he was looking for the button for the windscreen wipers.
He finally found it, and just in time to avoid yet another tree. They had passed two trees in an hour of driving, and had nearly hit both of them. This was just ridiculous.
Brengarrett 23:31, 15 March 2009 (UTC) (2 things one it is the stress on his body that is effecting his logic and such, and when I said that I mean hacka computor find the location of the Californa Base)
To spend the time Skyler and Dejan traded some storys they were currentl on the one where Dejan scared the shit out of an enclave officer by saying he was immune to plasma bullets when he noticed the rifle safety was on, to this day the guy still thinks Dejan is immune to the stuff
SKyleR: Not a bad story, so JAcob need a break?
Only the High-ups computers would have files on it. I get ya with the fatigue thing, but memory suffering is more of a concussion symptom or shock, and Skyler was shot, so it does fit . . .
Jacob nodded and switched spots with Skyler. He took out his guns one by one and began cleaning them and performing some minor repairs with the gear in the APC. Then he stripped the EMAA bodies of anything useful and tossed the bodies out of the APC one by one. He remembered Ramsey and himself burying that Crusader girl back in Fairfax. Ramsey would have loafed him for doing this.
"So, did I ever tell you about this crazy Ghoul I met in New York?" He said to Dejan as he sat down opposite him. Dejan looked up, shocked that Jacob had said something to him that wasn't some form of death threat, or in any way violent. He couldn't help but remember the thing about the nicotine.
Brengarrett 23:45, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
Skyler was driving and listening
"Al lghouls are crazy, then again everyone is once you think about it" HE says without tuerning around
Jacob nodded. True enough. He went on about some Ghoul called Jackal, who was off fighting a one-man-war against some group of crackjobs called the Crusade. Then Dejan remembered the Crusade. The Ghoul Haters with the air support!
Once he had finished the story, Jacob leaned back and tried to sleep. He took off his duster, and used it as a pillow.
"Touch my guns and I'll kill ya." He growled at Dejan as he saw him look at his Xualong rifle. Well, back to the Jacob that threatened to beat Dejan against the wall till he collapsed from exhaustion. Ten minutes was a good run.
Fniff1 00:11, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
The loners hands were shaking. And he had a really horrible feeling. "Hey,Why do I feel like a jet junkie gone 4 hours without jet?'He asked skyler.
"You're in shock. Now shut up and get some sleep. Skyler, wake me in two hours, I'll take the wheel then." Jacob said without opening his eyes. "And no matter what he says do not let Dejan drive. He's in shock, so he's in no condition to be piloting a stolen APC through enemy territory."
Jacob put his hand under his duster, and gripped one of his many pistols, just in case they did come across a patrol.
Fniff1 13:40, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
The Loner rolled in his sleep. He needed something badly,But he didn't know what. He went outside and saw a garbage can. He looked in it and saw a carton of Bikleys New England Billon.AKA A carton of cigarettes. He grabbed them and smoked them.
Cigarette dont get you hooked on the first smoke (unless they're laced with heroin - something I wouldn't put past a raider cigarette salesman)
Jacob jerked awake, gun in hand. Someone had just kicked him. He looked around and saw Loner tossing about in his sleep. It had been him. Jacob sighed, and then saw Skyler look back.
"Ah, you're awake, its just coming up to two hours, my friend." Skyler said. Jacob nodded, tossed his duster over the gunner's seat, and indicated for Skyler to get some sleep once they had changed seats. He looked around the cab, and spotted something strange. A radio.
"... Chiiilldren. This is Three Dog AWOOO! Todays weather: Northwest Wasteland, Excessively violent, with a high chance of dismemberment. Seriously Jacob, what're you up to? You were fighting the Good Fight one day, and fighting everyone the next. And now for an impor- . . ."
Jacob turned the radio off. Three Dog and his crazy Good Fight. Bullshit. Denouncing him. Not that Jacob cared, people were scared of him enough as it was, and now Three Dog was putting it on live radio that he was taking pot shots at everything. He shook his head. Never should have stopped those Enclave assassin types back at the Safehouse. But then, if he hadn't, how many lives would be affected without GNR. Jacob didn't want to think.
Fniff1 14:01, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
(Don't forget he had a smokeie back at SDM)
"Hey Jacob,cigarette?" The Loner said offering him the last of the carton. "Why did you turn off three dog? I like him."
Still not enough, from what I gather (a lot of my friends smoke, and one of them gave up, and another one's in the process)
"No thanks. Don't smoke, unless its part of a cover. And I turned Three Dog off, because he has no right to judge people relative to his own conceited morals. I don't give a flying fuck about fighting his Good Fight. I fight my own war.Not his, and not anyone else's." Jacob said grimly. He had that look in his eye again. That look that said people would die if they didn't play their cards right.
He offered Dejan the gunner's seat.
"Put the radio on if you want, like I said, I couldn't care less what Three Dog thinks." Jacob said.
Brengarrett 14:17, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Skyler was asleep for the first time in 27 hours and he was holding onto his .32 pistiol that he has for close quarters
Fniff1 14:22, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
(Well he's goddamn addicted now!)
By the time the loner stopped thinking the transimisson of three dog's radio was long gone. He was looking out the window of the APC when he saw several buggys,Trucks and Tom's APC driving along them, All under the flag of the eagles.
Brengarrett 14:26, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Skyler woke up and looked out the window
"Looks like I may have a problem, I don't think they will like the fact that the guy who slew 79 Eagles is with them" HE says pulling ou t the New Deathclaw Guantlet he made
Fniff1 14:33, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
The APC that Tom once owned slammed into the other APC,Shaking the APC badly.
Brengarrett 14:38, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
"Owww...hey mind being a little more careful on the road please?" Skyler says as he arms hismelf with the Guantlet
"I will take care of them, I see 2 APC, you guys get the far one, I will take this on" HE says activating a stealth boy and jumping out
He sneaks to the top of the APC and opens the upper latch and jumps down, 10 seconds later you can hear the sound of what sounds likes a fresh lemon being sliced and screaming of somthing about a Demon
Fniff1 14:40, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
The Eagles aim at the tracks and fire,The APC slows down.
"Save it Dejan. These dogs are mine." Jacob growled as he saw Loner pull a sawed-off and move for the hatch. Then he shunted Dejan into the driver's seat and climbed through the hatch. He double-tapped the first man he saw, each HEI shot blasting a grapefruit sized hole in his chest.
Then, he took an aim at the unshielded reactor of the nearest buggy and fired. It went up in smoke, and it's crew went out in a blaze of glory, as a chunk of debris clipped Jacob's arm, knocking him off the speeding APC. He rolled over as another buggy made a b-line for him. He managed to get between the wheels, and jumped to his feet as it pulled a flamboyant, but impressive nonetheless, powerslide to turn and face him again. The driver gunned the engines again and came hurtling back at him. Jacob jumped, crashing through the buggy's windscreen feet first. He lashed out left and right, kicking and pistol whipping. Then he stood up and shot the stunned crew, one bullet each, one mangled stump where each head used to be. Then he leaped free of the buggy before it slammed into a rocky outcrop.
Fniff1 15:38, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
"Holy God mother of Mary" he loner said as the APC sped into a canyon. He jumped out
Jacob and Skyler were making hell for the Eagles, but the Eagles had those buggys. And Jacob had gone and left his assault rifle in the APC. He swore. Then he fired at the reactor of another buggy, it wa harder to hit the reactor from the ground, but the HEI shots just punched through the armor on the buggies and damaged something anyway. In this case, it threw the rear wheels out of balance and sheared off the flimsy rear axle. Another buggy crashed and burned. Jacob ignored the screams of the trapped men as the buggy landed on its roof, in flames.
Skyler was just going psycho. He was playing chicken with a buggy, egging it on until he rolled out of the way and slashed his gauntlet into it's tire, forcing a blowout. The buggy skidded, rolled over, and Skyler set about killing the men inside as they struggled to get out. Not bad for someone with a banged up shoulder.
Fniff1 15:54, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
The loner was running away from a buggy charging at him. He turned and shot the driver. He got in. " Grab onto the handlebars!I'll get ya where you need to go!"
Brengarrett 17:12, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Skyler grabs on and hands on for dear life, he may be tough but he took a lot of damage to himself today, and it would be about a 3 day trip to get to California
Fniff1 17:20, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
"I really wish you had seatbelts!" The loner said as they drove at 90 MPH
Brengarrett 17:27, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
"SLOW DOWN, LET ME AND JACOB GET ON!!!" He shouts
Fniff1 17:31, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
The buggy skid and went to them at 110 miles an hour and skid. "I always wanted to do that."
Brengarrett 17:34, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Skyler and Jacob get on
SKyller: I swear you will be the death of me
Jacob: I agree, maybe you should have let me kill him
Fniff1 17:42, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
"Another comment like that and we'll see the effects of a frag grenade in a fusion powered car." The loner pulled out a cigarette.
Jacob lit it for him so he didn't look away from the road. Crashing in a buggy with Skyler and a halfwit was no way to die.
"We need to get back to the APC. There's no shielding on the reactor on this thing. We'll all be dead before we get to California." Jacob shouted over the roar of the engine.
When they finally got back to the APC, after a gut-wrenching series of donuts and power slides, they all bundled out and staggered into the APC. Jacob manned the gunner's seat, while Dejan drove. Skyler busily began patching himself up again.
Fniff1 18:20, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
The loner was driving,When he heard a beep,Then two beeps,then more. He stopped and looked at where the beeps were. He saw it was in the ammo capartment. He looked inside,And saw a mini-nuke with some plastic explosives. He grabbed both Skyler and Jacob as he ran to the door and jumped out.
Andrew had been following jacob and skyler for a long time.Not only had they crashed his heavily modified Opressor they had ruined it's tracks and damaged the canon and them blown it up.He pulled up along side the wreckage."vaughton,skyler,dejan get up you cant run from the EMAA forever just tell me where your going"
Brengarrett 18:25, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Ther explosion lit up the sky, it was pretty cool, well unless you were in it
"So whose not dead" Skyler says outloud
"Andrew, we're not people you want to be making demands to. Especially seeing as I have a problem with this gun here." Jacob said, indicating his Desert Eagle.
"And what would that be?" A Liberator asked smugly, deciding to humor the wastelander.
"Too many bullets." Jacob growled. He shouldered the strap of his assault rifle so he could fire it one handed, and looked Andrews in the eye. If things were going south, Jacob wanted to be sure to tear the throat out of the DC EMAA.
Brengarrett 18:31, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Skyler gets behind Andrew and holds the Deathclaw Gauntlet to his neck
"You will leave or die, make your choice: He says calmly, either way they need to get going and killing Andrew would be no problem to him
Fniff1 18:33, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
"MY LEG!!!!! IT'S GOT SHAPNAL IN IT!"The loner screamed
loging of now won't be back on until 8:30 gmt so run could you trake over
"shut it both of you we just want to know were your going." he looked at the asult rifle "if you kill me the EMAA will wipe your sory litle arse of the face of htis planet"
Fniff1 18:36, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
"Look I know you probably don't care but my LEG HAS SHAPNAL IN IT AND IS BLEEDING. 
Brengarrett 18:44, 16 March 2009 (UTC) (Hang on, sheese)
Skyler stops and turns to the loner and looks at the wopunds
"Don't move...." HE says and he pulls out a scaple and begins to dig out the shards and after 5 minutes of the "surgery" he takes the stuff out and wraps it up ion Gauze
"wE are going to need a ride to california, thats all we need"
Jacob jammed a Stimpak into Dejan's leg without looking and handed Dejan a bandage. Dejan screamed as the needle struck bone.
"Do not stitch it up, we need to let that bacteria die." Jacob siad, without looking away from Andrews.
"Andrews, your army of halfwits couldn't catch a cold, never mind me and Skyler. And the Enclave wants us alive. So, on the off chance that hell freezes over and you do kill Skyler here and myself, the Enclave will obliterate you, and your army. They'll burn your homes, enslave your children, and kill anyone that mentions your name. The EMAA will never have existed." Jacob growled. "So hop out of that little dune buggy, and piss off and let us get on with our business."
Brengarrett 19:02, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
SKyler hits Andrew in the back of the neck and he is knocked out
"Be thankful I didn't slit your throat, ok Jacob help Dejan up, we have a long ride ahead of us, we will stop for supplies in the next town we find (he is playing leader for the time being)
Fniff1 19:05, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
They drove to a town. It looked like the place was a raider town. Probably bad.
Brengarrett 19:11, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
"Dejan, you and Jacob go find a place to stay, I willget some supplies" He syas and he pulls out a bag of cap[s and jingles them
He gets out and walks toa store where a man with an Eyepatch looks at him
Man: Damn visiter, what the fuck do you want?
SKyler: I need supplies, my firends and I are going to Calinfornia, we will need 7 days worth of supplies, as well as ammo and medicine
Man: sure4 sure, that will 2000 caps for a bag of food and supplies
Skyler slamns the bag on the table
Skyler: 100 caps
Man: Yeah right, do I look like a fuckin mole rat, now get out or I will-
Skyler throws a knife and it hits the back wall and then the man forms a cut on his cheek
Skyler: Nexct one won't miss, now then 150 caps will be fine then?
The man nods and looksl ike he is gonna crap his pants as Skyler leaves the caps and takes the big duffle bag of food and such
Andrews wasn't letting them off that easy. This was the second time those two had car-jacked him and left him standing in the middle of nowhere, pissing away his valuable time.
"Liberators, move out." He grumbled, and set off after the APC.
--
Jacob snarled. It wasn't a raider town, but it was no stranger to slavers and the like. This place was one of fate's many urinals.
"Let's try here." He said to Dejan. They walked into a seedy looking bar. The local hooker walked past Dejan, running her hands across his shoulders and whispering something in his ear that made him blush.
Jacob walked up to the bar, and looked the landlord in the eye. This man, like Skyler's trader, had only one eye. Unlike the trader, he had no eyepatch.
"How much for a room?" Jacob asked.
"Two hundred. Take it or leave it." The landlord said.
Jacob looked around. People were starting to stare. He grabbed one of them, dragged him across the room and launched him out through the doors with an overzealous kick.
"What the hell are you doin'?" The landlord asked.
"He looked at me funny. Next time he looks at me funny, I'm takin his eyes as souvenirs." Jacob said. "How much was it for a room again?"
"One twenty." The landlord said.
"I'll take it." Jacob said with a smile that never reached his eyes.
Fniff1 19:29, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
"Jesus,What a f*cking death hole." The loner said. The room was just hell,One bed,Urine on the walls,Radioactive Water dripping down, No Comfort but with a pretty small redeeming feature. Under the bed was stash of jet,9mms,Chinese made sword, Nuka Cola and a holotape with music on it.
"Exactly, Andrew's would never come into a place like this. Oh shit, I think I just found the last guy who didn't want to pay for a room!" Jacob said, as he lifted up a human finger and tossed it out the window.
Fniff1 20:04, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
"Goddammit I'm curious" The loner went down the corridor. He came back in 5 minutes. "I can't believe it,there is several vacant rooms and they are paradise! The Landowner just gave us the worst room in the hotel. Don't go to kill him,He just left."The loner said.
"I assume you mean relative paradise, I checked those ones out too. Moriarty's in Megaton has better rooms than this place. Of course, I'm not allowed in there any more ever since I tried to shoot that sack of shit, Jericho. Yup, thats Moriarty, stick with the criminal instead of the guy who kills criminals." Jacob said.
He started cleaning his weapons again. Dejan was still amazed that he carried so many loaded guns. The man would set off every metal detector in Vault City just by walking through the front gate.
Fniff1 20:15, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Dejan went though the town. He needed some cigarettes. He found a vendor that was actually a very nice person.He got some smokes,Some junk food and a holotape player. when he got back, He put on the holotape and listened.It was Brittney Pears. (Reference to Brittney Spears)
Jacob had to leave the room. That "music" was the aural equivalent of being kicked in the groin. He spotted a slaver hawking his wares on the street. He had to make a conscious effort not to clip him there and then. He strode further into the town, and saw what he was looking for. The local gun dealer.
He walked into the store, and looked at the man. It was refreshing to see someone with both eyes, ears, and all of his fingers and teeth. He looked into the back room. It was pristinely clean, with silvered walls, and a big white door. It was a walk-in freezer. This place had obviously been a restaurant in Pre-War times.
"Ah, the connoiseur!" The dealer said. "Its about time someone with a discerning taste in firepower showed up. Everyone around here wants fucking sawed-off shotguns and flamers. Do you have any idea how stupid that makes me look to the dealers up North? It makes me look like a fucking Raider!"
Jacob walked into the back room without a word. He looked around and gave an impressed whistle. The lights went out.
"Shit, the lights are turned on and off by a whistle." The dealer yelped, before whistling to turn them back on. Jacob wondered how many times he could whistle while examining the guns before the dealer copped on and kicked him out.
Fifteen minutes later, Jacob was walking up the street with two mint-condition IA P90 M-Heavy's, and enough ammunition to last him till Armageddon. On the downside, he had spent over two thousand caps.
Brengarrett 20:31, 16 March 2009 (UTC) (need a new page)
Skyler has just walked up Dejan and Jacob's room
"Got some supplies" He said dropping the baag on the floor
 HHe then jmumps out of the winer and shimmys up the nearbye pipes up to the roof where he begins to survay the area
Fniff1 20:35, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Unknown to them,some trogs managed to get up from the sewers and cause chaos on the first floor.It was only a matter of time til they found the stairs.
Jacob stepped into the room just in time to see Skyler's legs disappear from view. He shook his head. He'd need to have words with him. As good a fighter as he was, Skyler left a lot to be desired in terms of worldly wisdom. He was going to get them into a gunfight acting like that. And with all the firepower they had between them, that was likely to destroy most of the town.
And now there was a brawl going on downstairs. This day just kept getting better.
Fniff1 20:40, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Dejan wanted to get something when suddenly a trog gnawed at his hand opening the door. He screamed and slammed it. "TROGS!" He cried
Brengarrett 20:44, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Skyler ater survaying the area bigins to pa=tch himself up, the wounds are starting to heal on there own and radiation hasn't affected him (The Yaoi Gui in him)
"I wonder what I should after this...do I still kill JAcob" He thinks tohimself as he begins to do surgery without anythings to block the pain
Fniff1 20:48, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
"Help me!" cried Dejan as he tossed some grenades to get rid of the trogs. He realized he was tossing smoke grenades made by Bren. "Son of a Bit*h"
Brengarrett 20:52, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Skyler heard the cry and arms his Guantlet as he jumps down and runs itn othe room to find some smoke in the room
SKyler: Yuck, Mole rat", that is so disgusting
He then runs int othe smoke and locates the trog and in a flash impales it with his guantlet
Skyler: You ok Dejan?
Jacob looked at the P 90 M-Heavy's he had just bought. He smiled. With one in each hand, he put his immense hand-arm strength to good use, blasting the trogs apart with controlled bursts of the gun dealer's hollow point rounds.
"Bring on the heat motherfuckers!" Jacob roared, echoing one of the Outcasts during the final assault in Fairfax. Unlike that Outcast, he didn't take a shotgun blast to the chest.
Fniff1 20:57, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Despite Jacob killing most of them,The trogs and the town's people went in a flash. Gone. Entire town gone.
Brengarrett 21:01, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Skyler looks around the shops and soon emerges with more food and supplies
"Don't judge me, it is the law of the land, the Weak feed the trong" He says and if you looked inside you would have seen the corpes with their eyes shut by Skyler out of respect
"ah shit it" the desert raider slid into the raider town with the liberators unleashing a rain of death.One of the raiders was spared.the town barman "i wan't to know if you've seen this man"he showed a picture of jacob the man noded "good kill him" the liberator shot the man in the head "jacob come out come out whereever you are"
Fniff1 21:04, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
the eagles were piloting a makeshift helicopter.When they saw the duo,They aimed.
Brengarrett 21:13, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Skyler grined as this is somthing they could use, and it was aball to hold them
SKyler: Hold on
SKyler with his skills jumps into a roof and jumps to the bar of the chopter and he breaks in
Skyler: We could use a lift to California, so I will give you a choice, let us have a ride, or I splatter your brainms over the windsheild and fly this thing myself, either way I can be with any choice he says
The 2 flying the chopter nod in agree ment as they land the chopter
Fniff1 21:16, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Dejan was really happy that he was riding in a helicopter and was soo happy he put his head out the window went YAY!
Jacob clubbed him and pulled him back into the cab, holding his head, as EMAA bullets screeched past them.
"Well, if these guys aren't the worst shots I've ever seen, you can tattoo a foot on the back of my hand when we get to California" The pilot laughed.
"Be careful, we might just hold you to that." Jacob joked as another bullet punched through the fuselage and missed him by the skin of his teeth. He didn't even flinch. Then he stuck his arm out the window and flipped Anrew off as they finally got out of range.
Fniff1 21:30, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Suddenly a voice began to crackle on the radio "why the hell are you coming back here?Well we'll have to shoot you down!"
there was no way they were geting out of range "EMAA DC control i want all remaining sea hariers or sea kings sent to my location now!" about 10 minutes later 3 sea harriers and 3 sea king's came over the hill. he jumped into the lead harrier and it speed of behind jacob."theres no way they can escape now" AS the helicopter came into range he wispered into the comm "wipe them out" a volly of misiles engolfed the air.
Again with the Enclave only Air support Vegas, be realistic! The sea kings are even pushing it a little!
not rearly sea harriers and sea kings are soon due for replacement in our own time if the EMAA aquired a derilict aircraft carrier the sea harriers could be refurbished
Aright. I guess I'll have to whittle down their numbers then. HEI bullets were made for shooting down aircraft (and other hard targets). I guess I should be happy to use Jacob's trademark bullets for their original purpose
Jacob swore. He had to empty his whole clip at the nearest harrier just to get a single hit. Luckily, the explosion of the HEI bullet ignited its fuel lines. And even luckier, the helicopter they were in was going too slow for the relatively quick harriers to get a proper lock-on. Each side in this little dogfight was as hard to hit as the other.
He jumped to the other side of the chopper, nearly crashing it into a sea king with the sudden change of weight. Then he repeated the clip-draining process on the second harrier. This time, he only clipped a wing, but that was enough. A chunk the size of a dog was blown out of the near edge, and the jet spun out of control. The last missile streaked past and detonated up ahead. Jacob breathed a sigh of relief as the third harrier pulled out. Then he remembered the sea kings.
loging off could you take over run
"damm you vaughton liberators bord that copter NOW" he and 10 liberators jumped over the gap and placed a rifle nears to vaughton and skyers neck.
Brengarrett 22:14, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Skyler was calm as he pulls out a card stating his anem and purpose
"I am SKyler of the Chimera division, I captured Jacob as ordered and are taking him back home to "Father" no if you don't mind allowing me to do my job I won't rip your heart out" HE says to his former allies
Jacob and Skyler then leaped toward the Liberators. They knew they wouldn't fire and risk hitting their friends. Kicking, punching and headbutting, Jacob and Skyler managed to get rid of everyone but Andrew. Jacob pulled him into the cab as he dangled from the chopper's ramshackle bars.
"Well, Andy, looks like you're coming along for the ride too." Jacob laughed. "Maybe you'll finally get a chance to see that the Enclave could rip your little girl scout troupe apart like they owed them rent."
"And that bit you said about capturing me for Father, that had better have been a load of bullshit." Jacob snapped at Skyler.
Fniff1 22:24, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
the eagles saw all this and aimed for the helicopter.
Brengarrett 22:28, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
"Of course it is, don't you think that if I was really following my orders, wouldn't you be dead by now?" He asks slyly, the lie did work
"now as for the molerat of a pain" He points to Andrew " I don't want a word from you unless it is a deathwish or a request to be dropped off"
Fniff1 22:31, 16 March 2009 (UTC) 
the Eagles shot.
"Not these degenerates again!" Jacob roared as more shots streaked past the helicopter. These Eagle dicks were really starting to slow them down.
"You hired these bastards, right, call 'em off!" He roared at Andrew. Andrew looked out the window, and shook his head as he scrambled back in.
"Nothing got to do with me." Andrew stated.
"basterds if you dont mind a sea harrier strike could take them out once and for all we do have one left" he looked at vaughton for confermation.
"It'll take too long for him to land, refuel and get back. Pilot, put her down two clicks West of here." Jacob grumbled. It was about time he paid a visit to this particular safehouse anyway. He hadn't used a .50 Browning HMG in a while, and he wanted to feel the kick of a mounted weapon in his hands again. They'd soon find out how those trolleys fared against some real firepower.
Brengarrett 17:02, 17 March 2009 (UTC)(can someone make another page, it is really lagging)
"So JAcob, I heard you joined a group, care to say the story to ys" he asks
"I'm an honorary Outcast. As for the Claws, I supplied them for a while, but I'm thinking I might rescind that offer now that there's a raider in the ranks." Jacob muttered as the chopper landed. He spun around and punched Loner and Andrew into unconsciousness, and killed the pilot and copilot. Then, dragging Loner and Andrew, he led the way to his bunker safehouse. He tossed Loner and Andrew in the holding cells as a temporary precaution, in case either of them did anything stupid.
==Act 3==
Brengarrett 20:53, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
"Hmm Nice place" He says kiking a dead molerat and looking at some of the weapons 
"A collecotr eh?" He says "Anyway I have a plan to get you to "Father" you will be un armed and basically act afraid of me, when asks I wil lsay that you lost to me but wanted to rejoinn the ranks of the enclave, when that happens we will see the director, then kill him" He says "Good plan? or do you want to change it?"
"If these pricks could make you and me, they'll never fall for it. You'll have to kick the hell outta me and drag me in. Avoid breaking any bones, though, otherwise it'll be hell fighting my way out." Jacob said. "I want answers. I'll have to meet up with this director fellow before we waste him."
Jacob wheeled his Barret HMG turret up to the front of the bunker, nudging the barrel out through a firing slit and applying the brakes. He'd love to see those buggies survive this.
Brengarrett 21:09, 17 March 2009 (UTC) (Gonna be leaving reeal soon, no idea when Iwlll back)
"Impressive, I must say, but lets save it for later, maybe we could have one of those 2 have it, maybe as back up, if I had to say I would tie you up, and inject you with a high dose of Psyco, it coould knock you out"
"That is a Barret HMG. Loner is in shock, and I don't like Andrew. I don't trust them with a .50 calibre heavy machinegun" Jacob stated matter-of-factly. "You can man it if you want, but you leave those two in the cage to sleep like good little halfwits."
Jacob didn't like talking to Skyler that way, the two of them were all but the same. There but for the grace of God go I Jacob thought to himself as he watched Skyler sit down at a table.
Brengarrett 23:06, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
"Jacob...Sorry to do this" He then walks to him and stab him with a large dose of Pysco and JAcob passes out but not before hearing "Part of the plan, forgive me" After Jacob is out cold for about half a day (a lot of Psyco but not enough to kill him) he unlocked the cells and left a note telling the 2 to go home or stay there
H then takes some ammo and picks up Jacob and ties his hand togather and begins to walk further about half a mile later he pulls out a radio and imputs a code
"This is Agent Demon, I have the Fallen One, I need an airlift to the Project WW base, now"
The voice on the other line replys "10-4 Demon, we will be sending a vertiberd to your location, the Director will be proud of you"
Skyler grins and shuts off the radio "He will be, I am a fallen Demon myself, now to destroy the devil that is my Father" he says as he sees the Vertiberd heading to him
Jacob was swimming in and out of consciousness.There were Enclave scientists running around. How did he know they were Enclave? Instinct, he thought to himself. There's something wrong with these fellows. He was going to kill Skyler for this. No excuses. Skyler was as good as dead. Right now, Jacob was trying to figure out what his surroundings were. He was held in place by something. It was like having his arms stuck in concrete. And his legs too. They really had him pinned in place. He looked down in front of himself. At least they'd had the decency not to strip him.
Then he looked up a little, and saw a withered old man standing in front of him. The man was completely bald, with white eyebrows and shaking hands. A squint if ever he saw one. Jacob looked him in the eyes, and passed out.
Brengarrett 23:42, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
The man looking at JAcob was ordered by Skyler personaly not to harm him in anyway, as Skyler wanted to kill JAcob himself (Lie)
Skyler was in a Room where a lot of tech was, an Officer was showing him what looks like a guantlet made of metal, it has Deathclaw claws where they are but the whole thing is metal
Man:...and so these Claws have been called the Giga Claw, it is the deadlly and was known to take out our best robots
Skyler pus it on
SKyuler: Better then mine, now then I will take this got it?
The man doesn't argue, in terms of rank Skyler surpassed him big time, he was likea Major Special Agent
Intercom: Agent SKyler You are wanted in the direcotrs office
Skyler: Good
HE begins walking to the office
Brengarrett 14:22, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
The man working on Jacob is checking otu some of the large amout of tools that he had
"I must say, Jacob you are a collector, you put the filthy Outcasts to shame, well at least compared to the reports from the DC area" he says
"Now then, you been a bad boy, andif I were in chaarge I would kill you slowly but because Skyler wante you to live for himself, I can't do a thing" He says annoyed and thats when Jacob relizes the plan, only Skyler would have Jacob be armed to the teeth to "fight him" but it is really a cover for a breakout
"Dr Raikov, I have something I want to show you." Jankowski said smugly. Raikov looked up from his desk, about to have another characteristic ouburst after being disturbed. Then he saw four armed men standing behind him. This meant it was important enough to disturb Raikov's work.
He followed Jankowski as he informed him that Chimera wasn't dead, merely sleeping, as he put it. Raikov was fuming now. If it wasn't for the soldiers, he would have strangled Jankowski there and then. As he stepped into the room Jankowski led to, his jaw dropped and his eyes widened.
There, in restraints, was Jacob.
--
Jacob looked up as two more eggheads walked into the room. There was something different about these people. An animal feeling that Jacob could only describe as revulsion. There was something profoundly wrong with these men. These men would make dogs bark and cats hiss if they walked by. A shivver ran along Jacob's spine. For the first time in his life, he had no idea what to do.
The older man looked at Skyler, who seemed genuinely afraid of him. The man ordered Skyler out of the room, along with the other scientists. Skyler lumbered out of the room like a kicked dog.
"Well, Ivan, it seems that my masterpiece, Skyler there, has defeated your masterpiece." Jankowski said, with a self-satisfied grin.
"Let me out of these restraints and we'll see how round two goes." Jacob snarled. Everyone in the room jumped. Raikov walked over.
"Jacob, my boy, you have finally returned. And in such shame. I should have you destroyed." Raikov mumbled to him.
Jacob growled. "Skyler! Get in here and die like a man! SKYLER!" He roared. Jankowski jumped. He was surprised Jacob could manage such volume in the restraints, they were supposed to make deep breaths difficult, to keep subjecs docile.

Read the posts, Dejan was in a cage in a bunker West of Raven Rock, not taken away by the Enclave. And these guys'd just kill him anyways, he's too old for either Project
Brengarrett 17:09, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
Skyler walked in and is holding the corpes of a solider, the Giga Claw e has is covered in blood
"sorry to bug you, but this solider told me I am a monster, so I killed him" He says tosseing the dead man onto the floor
"so father it has been a while, how long 5 years now?" He asks " I captured him around the DC area, quite a fight, but I won and he went peacfully, I thought he would like to see you before I killed him himself"
"So far the plan is working, everyone is buying it, but Jacob...he is gonna be madder then a Deathclaw who lost it's child" skyler thought (he is still loyal to Jacob)
"You'll do no such thing." Raikov growled, and shot Skyler twice in the chest. Skyler crumpled. Hollow point bullets. There was no way he'd be able to make a breakout by himself.
"And as for you!" He growled at Jankowski. "Did you think I would let just any soldiers wander around my facility? Luger, Sorensen, take him to the holding cells. Kill these two."
The two warrior weapons stepped forward, knifing the other two guards and grabbing Jankowski. They hauled him off, to somewhere deep in the facility. They eventually returned, and dragged Skyler off as well.
"So, has that Skyler abomination told you what you are?" Raikov asked, as he walked towwards Jacob, hands behind his back.
"Warrior Weapons. That and we're two sides of the one coin." Jacob grumbled.
"More than that, my boy, much more than that. He is bronze polished to immitate something far more precious. You, on the other hand, are even more than the gold Skyler wished to immitate. You, are pure, weapons grade plutonium, to use a convoluted simile." Raikov muttered. "How did he surprise you? I know full well a failure like that couldn't win in a straight up fight with you."
"Played coy, and OD'ed me on Psycho when I had my back turned." Jacob snarled. "You wouldn't know why I have giant gaps in my childhood memory now, would you?"
"I more than know. I caused them. Apparently, your memory grafts are failing. It is time I removed them." Raikov said, and ordered another group of people to move Jacob to a room behind the lab.
Jacob was slid into a strange looking machine, like a modified CAT Scan machine. It began to hum, there was a bright flash and then nothing. Then, blinding pain, as 14 years of memories were jammed into Jacob's head in a split second. He remembered it all. The stealing, the killing, the blood, the pain. The one shining beacon in all of this was his family. At least they had been real.
Fniff1 18:14, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
Dejan woke up. He heard gunfire. He heard shouting. He noted that he was in a cage.He saw 2 men come down. "Looks like we found him." "Goddammit,where are his friends?" "Relax,why does it matter?" "The boss said 3 men, No number lower." "Crap,Looks like they are long gone." He felt pulled up. then, the sound of wheels.
Brengarrett 18:23, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
SKyler and Janwoski were put into a holding cell and SKyler4 lifts his shirt to reveal the armor and how it suchioned the bullets
"Damn bullets, they sting" HE says to himself
"So, Father what now?" He asks
Jacob was sitting in a holding cell. He looked at the rack sitting across the room from him. It was strange, Raikov had left him with everything. It was like some crappy holofilm. The villain leaves the hero in a cell filled with guns because there's no way to get out and use them. It was almost comical. Raikov had even given a monologue about how Warrior Weapons would be the end of the other factions. But then, this wasn't a holofilm. And Jacob wasn't a hero. Just a man with a gun, a mission, and one seriously messed up childhood.
He went about his routine, calisthenics, real kata (now that he could truly access his martial arts training), and cleaning his weapons. Over and over again, until every muscle in his body ached, and his guns glinted until he could see his reflection in it. He started pacing like a caged animal. There was no way of telling time, because he didn't know how long he'd been unconscious. Then he stopped. He couldn't let this get to him. He started back into his routine.
andrew pulled himself up "emaa dc controll send me that harrier NOW" as the harrier pulled into view he smilled skyler and jacob had show the EMAA where warior weapons was.As the harrier and sea kings pulled into view he turned on the high power comm.East coast controll i want all our available men,tanks and aircraft.
6 hours later
The EMAA's asembled forces grew larger and larger andrew took his position at the head of the coloums.
"men of the EMAA today we strike a blow against the enclave.A blow from which they will never recover.We will destroy project warior weapons tonight.Today the enclaves rain of terror will end" the men cheered and the collums moved out
2 hours later
"begin the atack find jacob and bring him to me" the EMAA units moved towards the enclave base
Brengarrett 20:56, 18 March 2009 (UTC)(don't foeget to save Skyler)
SKyler has been thinking of a way to get out and to bust Jacob out
"So Father got a plan yet?" He asks Janwaski
Jacob watched the floor. He had put on all of his guns, his armor and his duster. He had even taken the "present" Raikov had left in his room. His real father's KA Bar knife. He had a picture of his true parents in one pocket, another "gift" from Raikov. When he got out of this chicken coop, he'd find Skyler and kill him. Then he'd kill Jankowski, and finally, he'd kill Raikov with his father's KA Bar. Jacob looked around again. This place really was well made. According to Raikov, it had no trash compactor rooms, like other facilities, it had an incinerator. There were no vents large enough for anything larger than a housecat to crawl through. And, the guards were 90% Warrior Weapons. The guys from the safehouse were Warrior Weapons too, apparently, from the same "class" as Jacob. He wasn't like them. He wasn't a monster.
Am I? Jacob thought to himself.
"initiate atack plan delta"(use everything and hope you win)
A swarm of EMAA troups surged forward with the harriers and sea kings providing air cover and the opressors following 
the walls fell and andrew charged in.
Jacob heard thuds. Someone was attacking the mountain, with more than just your average covert force. How the hell did they manage to slip right under the Enclave's guard? Unless the Enclave had decided Raikov and Jankowski were of no more use.
Then he heard a fire alarm go off. And with that, his door popped open. His guard stepped in, and right onto Jacob's front kick. The little man recovered quickly. Warrior Weapon.
They both pulled guns, the man drew a 10mm SMG, while Jacob pulled one of his P90 M-Heavy's. They both went for cover, sporadically firing at each other. Then the guard, seeking to up his firepower, pulled out a .44 revolver.
"Addition, huh? Lets see how you handle a little multiplication." Jacob hoped that sounded as good as it did in his head, as he drew his second P90. He opened fire on the man as he stood up to jump to Jacob's position. A three shot burst into the man's chest and head. Jacob got up, and walked down the corridor, shooting anything that moved. He wasn't getting into a melee with these super soldiers. Not again.
Brengarrett 21:53, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
SKyler though for a moment "I ot it" 
Skyler goes into his pocket and pulls out a grenade, but before throwing it he ttake out some of the powder then he throws it in the cell
Guard: What the hell?
They run in
SKyler: Hey somthing happened? Mind helping us figure it out?
The Enclave solider walks a little closer then KSyler grabs his throat and pulls his head in to the bars and kills him, then he takes the card key and breaks out, the other Guard was so scared that he passed out from fear
"Wimps" Skyler says remarming himself
"So Father, come on, we need to find Jacob" HE says
Jow: But, why should we help him?
SKyler: Simple, he is my brother, and besides the plan was to get his memory back, and break him out, be thankful I don't kill you, however the other....
Jow: Alright...just be careful
Skyler tosses his a pistol and ammo
SkykeR: Botu to tell you the same
Skyler thenruns out and after 5 miuntes of searching he finds the room where JAcob is held
SKyler: Bingo
Skyler then kills the guard (impales the chests with the Giga Claw) and he looks at Jacob coming out of his cell
SKyler: I told you I had a plan, so remember everything?
Fniff1 22:01, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
Dejan managed to escape. It was bloody,And he doesn't want to rember it.He was ready to tie up Skyler and Jacob and put a water bottle in front of them.Yeah. That would be the best. He even tool a mezzer.
The battle was going badly emaa foot soldjers were losing 10 men for every enclave GI.He and the liberators reached the area where jacob's tracker was."jacob where are you!" behind him a Opressor vanished and an enclave IKE type battle tank apreared."blow that thing to hell"
Jacob looked up the hallway. Skyler. He had his back turned. He looked right and left, nothing. Nothing behind either. He ran up the hallway, and landed a diving knee-kick to Skyler's back, slamming him against the wall. As Skyler turned, he found himself staring down the barrels of those P90 M-Heavies.
"So, you got out ahead of plan." Skyler said. Jacob looked perplexed. So Skyler went on: "The plan Jacob, get you sorted, destabilize the program and get the hell out!"
Jacob lifted Skyler to his feet.
"You walk in front." Jacob growled.
"Why?" Skyler asked.
"Because I've never shot you in the back." Jacob snarled.
Brengarrett 22:32, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
SKyler: And him?
He piints to a feaked out Jow.
"He stays here." Jacob said. He lashed out, knocking Jankowski out cold.
Then, following Skyler, he ran through the hallways. He was just going to leave Jankowski and Raikov to kill each other. Or be killed by the Enclave. He had his answers. And he had his mission. He felt it was his duty to go on clearing the wastelands of raiders and the like. He mowed down more soldiers from behind, and filled the EMAA squad that they had been fighting with a generous donation of lead. What are these shits doing here? He thought as he walked over their corpses.
Brengarrett 22:57, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
Thecorpes is breathing, barely
Ksyler: Wht happened?
Man: Em...Aa...oh god you have to help me
Skyler: Very well
Skyler stabs his neck in an instant the man dies
SKyler: Looks like I smart to leave Andrew the key to the cell door
Skyler grins
Skyler: So what will do now? HElp That Tenkage Fellow at the claws, I heard you guys are pretty much allies
Around Jacob came the sudden thud-thud-thud of heavy feet. It was undeniable that these feet were real, for they were accompanied by various shouts of surprise and the sounds of metal striking metal.
After about thirty seconds of this ominous tune, a familiar face appeared just a short distance away from Jacob. Smooth face, long, carefully parted hair, a thin, sophisticated goatee and a semi-cocky grin. He was wearing a breastplate, white t-shirt, brown pants, boots.
Roland Rockfort.
"I just can't let you go ahead and get in trouble without a little backup, Jake. THink you could lose me that easy?" He said. "C'mon, let's bust you out of here."
"Bren's working with a little Raider Queen. I'd sooner work for Raikov than a Raider." Jacob growled. Skyler had just brought up a very contentious subject. He and Bren would be having words next time they crossed paths.
Then he turned to Roland. It was good to see him, but now was neither the time, nor the place to be asking questions. There'd be a lot of conversation on the trek home. He simply signalled for Roland to follow, and stay close. The fact that Jacob trusted him was reason enough for Skyler to trust him too.
The booms were getting louder. They were getting closer to the front doors. All they had to do once they made it out was bluff their way past the Enclave troops and sneak past what was left of the EMAA forces. He killed a scientist as the man ran past screaming. A Warrior Weapon turned and raised his weapon.
"Stand down. By order of Dr. Raikov, I am in field command. We need to get this Skyler out of here. Jankowski must not be allowed to study it further." Jacob said. The man looked like he didn't buy it, untill Raikov's voice came over the intercom.
"Jacob Vaughton is not to be harmed.I repeat, Jacob Vaughton is not to be harmed."
Jacob grinned. Raikov's vanity would be their ticket out of here.
Roland looked towards Jacob and his massive grin. "Friend of yours on the radio?" He muttered, standing at the side of Jacob while holding up his own gun. When the Warrior Weapon and Jacob lowered their weapons, the ancient Grease Gun went down as well.
"I'll put it this way, I met my maker. Anything happening with Ranik and Jackson's crew?" Jacob muttered as they walked through the corridors, getting ever-closer to the exit and eventual freedom. He was getting worried about all these one-liners he seemed to be producing. This really was coming off like a crappy Holofilm. Jacob couldn't help but shudder at the thought.
"They're still flying for Austin, far as I know. I just headed around south that way, but my interception by the Enclave was... Less than warm. I skipped 'round the Panama Canal and showed up here. As luck would have it, a bunch of jets were just headed this one way, so I figured someone might be in a bit of trouble. So I picked a few locks, threw a couple people into walls, and here I am, saving you again." Roland grinned. Even though he was fighting again, Roland was always glad to see a friend, even when he needed help. And even though Jacob had only known him for a few hours, Roland considered Jacob a friend, even if the honor wasn't mutual.
"Just like Independence, 'cept for better armor and a bunch of psychos with energy weapons. Oh, and there's not a Defender punching me in the back of the head and guts splattered all over muddy trenches."
"These boys will make the Crusade look like a girl scout troupe, Roland." Jacob stated. "This will be nowhere near as easy."
As if to emphasize his point, they rounded a corner and spotted another Warrior Weapon, this one was killing off a group of armed soldiers with its combat knife. Not one of them managed to get a shot off before each one had had his throat slashed.
"You! Clear a path ahead. By order of Dr. Raikov, clear a path!" Jacob shouted at her. She did as told, killing another six EMAA soldiers without breaking stride.
Roland grimaced as the woman, in a fighting style strangely similar to the one he had seen Jacob using on the field at Fort Independence, dispatched six EMAA soldiers, and then proceeded to continue on down the hall unimpeded.
"I'm guessing you have something to do with these guys?"
"Think of them as reduced quality copies of me. Raikov calls them the ultimate soldiers. Its beyond insulting." Jacob saitd. He could hear the screams of the dying, and gunfire. They really were getting close to the exit.
"How far off is the Grey Lady. We may need a lift ho,me." Jacob shouted over the roar of an exploding grenade.
Brengarrett 14:17, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Skyler was fopllowing Jacob, he wanted to Giver Raikov a a reason to fear him, if Jacob was to kill him, he wouldn't interfer but at least get a good show
Jacob saw Skyler veer off toward Raikov's office. Without a word, he shot Skyler's kneecap, sending his to the floor. He walked over, rolling Skyler over with his foot. He planted a boot on Skyler's Giga Claw. He'd seen that thing go clean through a man. No sense taking a risk.
"I said we leave Raikov and Jankowski for the Enclave to deal with. That'll slow down the Enclave no end. You just don't think before you act do you, you stupid, stupid fuck up of a thing!" Jacob growled, seething with anger now. "You fucked up for the last time, Skyler. One more stupid move, and so help me God, I'll end you.
He lifted Skyler to his feet and helped him limp back to their original path. One more balls-up like that, and Skyler was as good as dead. His rash actions and total inability to see the long-term benefits of things were going to get them all killed if he couldn't tone it down a little.
"wipe them out and find there commander" up ahead jacob was talking to a commenwealth android "jacob want a lift?"
Brengarrett 19:09, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
"You're right, of courseI just wanted to scare hima bit, show off my power, but another time I guess" He says
"So anyway I need a lift, drop me off at the DC land"
Radiation King
Roland looked out at the wall, as if he could see through it- indeed, he probably could- before turning back to Jacob, ducking as a burst of rounds whipped past his head. "If we head over the ridge west of here, it's about a ten mile walk to its berthings as the crow flies. Of course, I'm presuming you'll want to send them on a snipe hunt as well?"
The merchant looked up, watching as another EMAA soldier approached. Without thingking, Roland's gun-hand went up and the Grease Gun rattled again, toppling the hulking man in his power armor without even scratching the man inside. Unable to lift himself up on his own, the EMAA soldier was stranded like a turtle on its back- at least, a turtle with a gun. Of course, Roland ended this with a quick shot to the gun hand. "If we get moving before anyone else shows up, I'd say our best bet is the dry riverbed a little ways to the north of here; it leads right out to where the Grey Lady is docked."
"Raikov is not the kind of man you show off your power to. Vindicator miniguns on his office chair and desk, Warrior Weapons at his door. Hell, I bet he's probably got some kinda Enclave Uberpistol hidden somewhere in his labcoat." Jaocb said to Skyler. "I think I'll spend some time on the Grey Lady, have a pop at Austin. Its been a while since I was in Texas."
Jacob herded Skyler off towards the EMAA forces. Truth was, as much as he wanted to help Roland and the Outcasts, he was going to take some time off from DC and the Claws, in case he killed Bren and his little raider friend. He nodded to Roland and they hared off westward as an Enclave battalion came over the horizon. The roar of artillery filled the air as heavy shells tore holes in the EMAA formations, singling out the Liberators and Opressors for special punishment. Jacob muttered a quiet prayer for the EMAA. They'd be lucky to get even one man out of this valley alive.
"Lets go Roland." Jacob shouted. That was the first time he had called the merchant by his given name.
Brengarrett 19:42, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
"Right, so ya around" He said as he was taken away, little did he know that Bren and Jacob will meet up again (he will see Bren from the ground around the Baltimore area)
"Gotcha. If we just head this way and keep to this path," Roland said, "we should get there before things get too hot. Riverbed's just past this copse here..." Roland guided Jacob through a stand of dead trees and down into a rock-strewn riverbed, long since dry from the short burst of nuclear hellfire that had cut off its tributaries and boiled the water away. 
"Just keep low and stay moving, and if we follow the riverbed for long enough we'll arrive right on top of the Grey Lady. Just be prepared for mud when we get there, it wasn't too pleasant coming in." And with that, Roland moved off into the night, half-crouched, weaving through overturned boulders and always keeping one eye towards the riverbanks.
Jacob jogged along behind him, watching out for anything that might try to cut them off. That escape had gone off with just enough hitches not to have been too easy. He still felt the need to be vigilant though. They were in the back garden of this Enclave cell, with a battle going on behind them. Who knew what kind of reinforcements could be coming along this riverbed any second. As if to answer that, a small team of Enclave commandos dropped into the riverbed with knives and silenced pistols drawn. Jacob looked at Roland, and nodded to him to keep going.
Then, he lunged at the first Enclaver. He took the chance to test his newly revealed martial arts skills with both hands, striking for maximum damage with minimum effort. Soon, the six men were lying on the ground, their heads twisted at odd angles, or various vital parts of their anatomies lying some distance away. Jacob wiped his hands on his duster and took off after Roland.
Roland kept going, alright. He kept going right into an Enclave trap. Before he could react, a commando wrapped him about the neck with a fiber wire cord. Left without much choice, Roland jabbed back hard with his cybernetic arm, taking advantage of its 360 degree joint, and crushed the man's solar plexus, forcing him to give up the assault as he gasped for breath and crumpled to the ground. Keeping his gun holstered on his back, Roland pulled out his Trench Knife and confiscated the man's fiber wire, tying one end of the cord around the end of the knife's blade and leaving the other dangling. Then he looted the man's 10mm pistol, noting its modifications as far as he could in the dark- a larger barrel to accomodate optional .45 caliber ammo and a silencer/flash suppressor and laser sight. Staying at his current position with the knife in one hand and the gun in his other, Roland ducked behind a boulder and waited for Jacob to catch up. 
"About time you caught up; I was thinking about building a nice little cottage; opening a bed and breakfast." Roland quipped before looking further down the riverbank. Waves were faintly visible a little ways down, and a small plume of smoke was cresting the treetops. The Grey Lady was just within reach.
"C'mon, Jacob, we got no time to waste." Roland said, scuttling up the steep bank and into the copse of dead trees, watching the form of the Grey Lady's sharp prow grow more definite by the second. After about five minutes, the two broke from the trees and into a muddy, sloping marsh that stretched a good distance to the extended gangplank of the ancient steamer. 
"Jacob Vaughton, I give you the Grey Lady, the pride of Rivet City, the Queen of the Seas, the-" Roland was cut short as a group of Enclave Commandos, Soldiers and Shock troopers broke from the dead trees. Without stopping, they raised their weapons and began shooting at Roland (because, of course, Jacob was not to be harmed due to explicit orders). 
"C'mon, let's go!" Roland shouted as he began wading into the mire, pushing aside waist-high wild grass and stumbling through mud deep enough to swallow his calves, cutting a definite path for the safe bosom of the great steamer. As if summoned by their captain's predicament, slots along the starboard side of the old ship creaked open and the crew of the Grey Lady returned fire with gusto, raking the tree-line with an old .30 caliber machine gun, numerous assault rifles and even a missile launcher.
"I could have ordered them to stand down, you know!" Jacob shouted to Roland over the roar of gunfire, as he pulled his P90's and returned fire at the Enclave troops.
At least they shot back. That meant they weren't Warrior Weapons. And that was good. Roland and Jacob at last reached the Grey LAdy, and scrambled up the side.
"How fast can she go?" Jacob roared to Roland over the boom of the machine gun. He wasn't looking forward to hearing the answer.
"retreat to the transports now" the men retreated to the sea kings and the APCs to the harriers but andrew had his own ideas he had heared that jacob was heading to a ship and the EMAA would not let him go.he climbed up the ship ladder and spoke to the captain " catch up with jacob and the gray lady" the EMAASV Defender aproached the ship and andrew jumped down
The Grey Lady was happily swaying away from the now dead Enclave attack team, with Jacob asleep below. He knew Roland trusted him, but apparently, the crew didn't, as there were alway two of them outside his door.
His subconscious had a lot to deal with after the past week or two. And the EMAA were still a wildcard in all this. What the hell did they want with him?
Andrew punched a man in the head and nocked on jacobs door "jacob let me in"
Jacob stood up. He'd have to make a serious apology to Roland for this. He was in no mood for these EMAA bastards. He opened the door, and put a gun to Andrew's head.
"What the hell are you doing here. Or is it a rat abandoning its sinking EMAA ship?" Jacob growled.
"sory but we need you to help us"
Roland had already seen the man called Andrew knocking at the door and silently crept up behind him. When Jacob opened his door, Roland appeared on the man's right side, holding a silenced 10mm pistol to the man's temple. 
"Problem is, I don't need to help you- I have a prior appointment..." Roland said, sliding the action back with a muffled *click*. "Now start talking before I give my crew the pleasure of throwing you under the paddles and tossing your Harrier into the drink."
"Why would I help you? After all, you've done nothing but act like a spoiled brat and shoot anything that came into your crosshairs. Why shouldn't I just paint the ceiling with your brains?" Jacob asked. A bead of sweat rolled down Andrew's forehead. "Thats more like it"
Jacob yanked him into the room, and tossed him into a chair. Roland followed them in.
"You have two minutes to convince me to help you. If I'm not satisfied, you're a dead man." Jacob growled.
"everyone hates the enclave right so we in the EMAA think that if we could destroy them it would be a huge bonus to the USA as a whole and we need an ally"
"No dice. Take your cookies elsewhere, Girl Scout, 'cuz I ain't buying."
"The Enclave is too big for your piss-pot wannabe army to bring down. Even with me on your side. Why don't you understand this?" Jacob roared. Then added calmly: "You are now down to one minute to convince me not to kill you."
"The Enclave haven't done anything to wrong me yet, and as far as Jacob's vendetta goes, I'll leave him to pursue that at his leisure." Roland kept his gun up, the whole time not relenting once.
Brengarrett 21:52, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
They hear a knock and when they opena a solider brings in Skyler
Solider: Sirm, this man snuck on board, we think he is a spy
Skyler: The name is Skyler and you might want to fix the small claw holes on the side of the ship (used them for climbing onto the side)
"piss pot army were the second largest wasteland army in the east and weast coast asehole and still the enclave arnt invincible"
"As far as your girl scouts are concerned they are. Thirty seconds. Then I take one of your fingers." Jacob said.
"Girl scouts!.never mind im sory about this." he turned on his radio "destroy this vessel with our guns"
Jacob shot out his knees. If the boat was going down, the rat was coming with it. He picked up the radio.
"EMAA, this is Jacob Vaughton. Fire away, we have Andrew nice and snug here in our hostage control unit. Thats me. Wanna hear him scream?" Jacob said down the line.
He extended the radio to the screaming Andrew as he rubbed on his knees.
Roland, after a long night of tension, bullets and alcohol, finally felt his last nerve go. He began to shake angrily after his ears intercepted "Claw Holes in your ship". All assorted men in the room watched as Roland's cheeks turned beet red, and his mouth spewed forth the biggest, most irrational line of profanities the assorted soldiers, mercenaries and crewmen had ever heard. Ever. For five straight minutes, Roland cycled between English, Russian, German and Mandarin Chinese while cursing a blue streak right into Skyler's face, the contents of which had to be censored from the thread due to the fact that the reader's eyes may burn out from the over-use of explitives.
When he was finally done and well calmed down, Roland turned to Jacob. "I don't care who this gauntleted mystery man is, I want him off my ship as soon as he's explained himself for prodding my ship with his gauntlet like it was an experimental subject."
And then Andrew gave the order for his destroyer to fire on his beloved ship. 
"Oh no you didn't." The words came out in a low, sinister, threatening growl, low enough for even Jacob to cringe in discomfort. Roland's eyes took on an unearthly glow, almost as if the embers of hellfire had embedded themselves in his corneas. Roland stared daggers at the man, flexing and unflexing his right fist. Ignoring the shots Jacob delivered to the man's knees and his screams of pain, Roland advanced on Andrew.
"You're going to call that order off right now. Army or no, no-one- and I mean no-one- fires at my ship." And with unearthly speed, the normally kind and pacifistic captain snapped up the comander in his right arm and violently threw him into the bulkhead wall, not once or twice, but four times in the span of seconds. When the man was sufficiently beaten, Roland lifted Andrew by his shirt collar and delivered unto the poor guy a vicious punch in the gut. "Now that we're exactly clear on that, that's just half of what I can do. Call it off. Now."
"i said destroy it regardless of the fact im in it"
"He's in shock. How can you people know he's in a good state of mind." Jacob asked. He knew these wannabe soldiers would try to follow the book to the letter. all he had to do was stall them till the Grey Lady could relocate.
"Strip him and knock out all of his teeth, throw all of them overboard. Then set off a pulse grenade. That way there'll be no chance of a tracker following us." Jacob said to Roland. Roland was clearly shocked by Jacob's brutality.
 
Skyler ebgins to punch Andrew
"Good plan"
"Pulse Grenade first." Jacob said. Skyler stopped and did as told.
There was no sense in pissing off the EMAA if they could avoid it. They weren't being shelled anyway.
"Got it." Roland said, taking the Pulse grenade up to the top deck and making sure he was standing in the perfect position; with his feet spread wide so that the Pulse Grenade will disable him but leave him standing, as opposed to having poor enough footing to just let him fall over.
Then he pulled the pin. 
After about two minutes of repairs (basically re-attaching the hardened components that had come off when the Pulse Grenade went off), Roland stamped back down the stairs and oup to Jacob.
"Grenade's been set off."
"Good. Keep Steaming on." Jacob muttered. "We're gonna get past these asswipes, because we have their field commander. Then we leave him at the closest NCR port, tell them what kind of mess he made up here, tell his boys where we left him, and let them scrape his corpse off the ceiling."
This had to work. The EMAA weren't worthy of killing the likes of Roland. He didn't deserve to go like that. Skyler and Jacob, they could bail out if the ship came under fire, and the EMAA would have no way to catch them, but Roland wouldn't have much chance. There was no way he'd abandon his ship, as far as Jacob could tell.
And Roland's assumption was correct. Loyal to his ship and crew until the bitter end (no matter how bitter that end would have turned out), Roland would go down to the depths of hell in the Gray Lady. 
"I'm going to bunk up for the night, Jacob." Roland said, cleaning off his bloodied hands as he spoke. "If you would be so kind as to keep an eye on our hostage, Jacob. We'll adjust course and head for Santa Ana in the morning. I'll let you have the honor of prying this sucker's teeth out." And with those few words, Roland retreated from Jacob's berth and headed up the spine of the ship, heading for his cabin and for "home", no matter how vague a description that was.
"Andrew. That is the last time you act the dick. You're going back to the EMAA, and you're telling them to fuck off or I hunt your high command down and ice them one by one." Jacob growled. At last Andrew seemed to understand just what he'd done back up there in the valley. The Enclave were a sleeping leviathan, slow to wake, but god help the one who manages to stir it.
(Fast Forard to the River Estuary)
Jacob, Skyler and Roland stood on the prow of the Grey Lady, looking up at the bloodied Colonel Andrew.
"You heard me Andrew. You need to back off the Enclave. You can't kill them. They're not some puny gang of spooks. You piss them off and they will destroy you. But its too late to take that advice now. Hold out as long as you can. But when the Enclave are busting down your door, die well." Jacob said. The two ships pulled away, keeping a wary eye on each other, but not one shot was fired.
Andrew turned to the captain of the ship and sighed.
"Gentlemen, its time to go home. We have one hell of a storm to weather." Andrew said, denying the Enclave's power to the last. Those spooks with the supertech were going to have a lot of trouble taking the EMAA down.
Brengarrett 01:25, 20 March 2009 (UTC) (I give Vegas full use of Skyler, because heis sticking with Jacob for this, ok thanks)
Roland looked over to Jacob as the Grey Lady carefully picked its way through the shallows of the estuary where the Defender and the Gray Lady had been forced together. He sighed, then looked towards the sea.
"We're setting course for Santa Ana, be there by noon. One if we lose steam in the boiler, which is about an 85 percent chance..." Roland looked to Jacob again. "Why'd you let him go?"
"Because we didn't need a prick like that on board. No one does. If he keeps pulling stunts like that shit in the valley, the EMAA's gonna burn." Jacob said, arms folded as he looked out to sea. "Can't say I'd miss the runts."
He turned and walked back towards the cabin. "And now, I need sleep."
"Alright." Roland climbed through the hatch on the roof of the steamer and into the pilothouse, where he began making the calculations to head to Santa Ana.
Noon
The Gray Lady drifted quietly into the port of Santa Ana. It was a small settlement with a high wall built out of the remains of iron-hulled ships who had wrecked near the town. Thus far there was at least one other ship lfoating in the water; the converted speedboat Admiral Nelson. The Grey Lady slipped expertly intoo her dock and a gangplank slid out. 
"Jacob," Roland said as the ship arrived, "Welcome to Santa Ana. Ain't much, but it's the best little port on the west coast."
Protector matthew spat out a mouthful of water and clambered up the deck of the gray lady "vaughton the enclave are mising you come on back vaughton"
Jacob looked around this place was a heap of ramshackle houses and screaming children playing in the street. It looked like this place came into being when the mother of all Super Mutants got sick on a landfill site.
He wasn't happy about some Enclave wannabe walking around the deck, taking stock of everything to see what he could "confiscate". Not at all. He had washed his hands of Ivan Raikov and his twisted game, and he never wanted to see a high ranking Enclave member he couldn't kill ever again. And yet, here one was, walking around like he owned the Grey Lady.
He walked down the gangway with a few crew members. The NCR was not a place someone like Jacob could blend in easily. It was too stable, thanks to the Vault Dweller, and the Chosen one. He cuffed one of the older boys across the back of his head as he tried to pick his pocket, and gave him a look that would turn the Devil's blood cold. The sooner Roland restocked and got going, the better.
Roland didn't even react as Matthew (for no-one appeared to have a last name if they were involved in the EMAA) climbed over the rail of the Grey Lady, apparently using the same physics-defying method that Andrew had used prior to the ship's arrival in Santa Ana. Merely, Roland cuffed the man in the temple and threw him back over the railing, into the irradiated water.
Following the little scuffle with Matthew, Roland strode down the gangway and arrived next to Jacob. Giving a small look of disapproval towards the mercenary as he cuffed the boy in the back of the head, Roland started speaking. "Look, Jacob," he explained, "I know this isn't the kind of thing you're used to. Santa Ana is a small town, but its only industry is trading with the ships that come in. This is probably the most prosperous they've been in years. So try and give them a little leeway if they try and steal something from you, will ya? They probably haven't seen a man with as many guns as you in years. Now I'll be back in two hours from the market; I'm going to need your help getting everything moved aboard the ship." 
And then the merchant was gone, caught in a swell of townsfolk that headed for the market.
Jacob started subconsciously spinning a Desert Eagle around his finger, and then through his entire grip, putting on an unintentional little show as he walked through the town. At least now he knew where he had got this dexterity from, even though he still couldn't figure out why having an overpowered pistol in his hand was calming.
A small crowd of boys were sparring with broomsticks carved into the shape of swords. Jacob holstered his pistol, and observed. Their technique was sloppy at best. He picked up a stick that had been left to one side and stepped into the ring of people. He quickly, and easily defeated the boys, then a grown man stepped into the area.
"Now try it with someone your own size." The stranger sneered, expecting Jacob to back down. Jacob merely spread his arms in a carefree gesture. The man lunged.
"Careful now, you could have someone's eye out behaving like that." Jacob taunted as he parried and disarmed the man, crossing the wooden swords in front of his neck.
Jacob realised he was enjoying himself as he "dueled" with many and varied people, much to the joy of the women and children.
==Act 4==
Micheal was in cover behind a wall on the harbor, he was battling a Behemoth, he's out of 5.56 ammo so he needs to resort to his D'Eagle. He gets out of cover and does a roll to the next wall, shooting one of the Behemoths eyes out, but, the Behemoth went into a rampage here, and kicked the wall Micheal was hiding behind, hard enough to send Micheal flying onto a moving boat behind him. (lolz)
Roland was just returning from the merchants' quarter with a brahmin-cart full of food, medical supplies and ammunition. He was surprised with the haul he'd gotten; usually Santa Ana could barely afford to supply him with enough to hold in his arms; a whole cart-load was unheard of. 
Just then he heard something (or someone?) rustling around in his trailer. Calling the brahmin to a halt, Roland withdrew his trench knife and stabbed into the cart a few times. 
Stab. 
Nothing. 
Stab. 
Nothing.
Stab.
"OUCH!" Someone inside the cart shouted. Roland cleared away a couple bags of supplies and pulled out a scruffy looking man in a tattered suit of leather armor. "Who the hell are you?" Roland grumbled, squinting at the man's face. Although he couldn't quite place where he'd seen the face before, something seemed familiar about it. And it had to have been from recent memory; at least within the last couple months, because otherwise he wouldn't have recognized it. After a few minutes of tense silence, Roland finished his scowl. 
"Well," The merchant grumbled, "I can't just dump you in the river like that EMAA guy, and you don't look like a Santa Anian... Alright, come with me." Roland then climbed back onto the back of the Brahmin and brought the cow and cart back to the town center. There he found a large crowd gathered around what appeared to be a public spectacle. Shouts of surprise and pain, combined with the crack! of wood on wood signified that either someone was having another duel, or there was a logger's competition going on. Roland stood up on the brahmin's back to find- of course- Jacob smacking the shit out of some hapless Santa Anian. By the look on his face, he'd been doing it for a while. After a few more seconds, Roland approached the center of the ring, where Jacob's latest victim was being dragged off with a bloody nose. 
He mock-clapped on his way in. "Hail the conquering hero," he chided as he approached Jacob. "I've got all of the supplies and a hitch-hiker, so let's get back to the boat and get underway."
Jacob walked back towards the Grey Lady, slightly disappointed that they were leaving so soon. As she came into view, Jacob noticed a commotion on deck. Charging up the gangway, he intercepted a stranger with a deft clothesline as the man went to make a break for the port.
Within seconds, the crew were gathered around, weapons pointed at this stranger. They had grabbed whatever came to hand, apparently, as the hardware ranged from Jacob's P90 M-Heavies to an enraged Mirelurk Hatchling, held gingerly at arms length by the ship's cook.
"Start talking stranger, maybe you'll say something to undo all the commotion you just caused." Jacob said. Michael just stared up at the gathered crowd.
"Umm, Hello?" Micheal said, "My name is Micheal Vain, and I just got thrown onto this boat by that Behemoth over there," and he pointed to the Behemoth that was running around near the dock, "I feel uncomfortable with all these guns pointed at me."
"Vain? As in Alex and Samantha Vain?" Jacob said, lowering one of his guns. "They were Brotherhood Outcasts, I fought by their sides at the Battle of Germantown and the Siege of Fairfax."
Jacob waited for the man to reply, but he could see a little of Alex in him. He wasn't as scrawny, but there was a certain resemblance.
"Oh, you know him?" Micheal said, "Alex is my brother, I don't know who Samantha is though," he said, noticing some of the guns being lowered, but he still felt a pistol to the back of his head, then he felt something else, in his pocket, being taken. He then delivered a massive crotch kick to the man behind him (an NPC) and punched his face with the golden knuckles, "That's what happens to people who steal my bottlecaps," he said, taking the bottlecaps back from the thief.
Matthew climbed out of the water That asehole trader would be the first to go and vaughton would soon follow he had considered sparing the trader and jacob but after that they deserved to die.He climbed down the lader to the ship with his black opps armor activated.He heared the name vain mentioned."well il be dammed he a vain" he jumped down the lader and punched the guard in the back of the neck.Roland would pay for this.
"Oi!" Roland said, coming over to the group after disposing of Joe the Drunk and putting the Brahmin and cart belowdecks where they rested. "No-one punches my crew in the face but Jacob and me!" Roland said. Only then did he notice the rampaging Behemoth. He sighed. "Carr and Lysseth, get to the Gunnery department and dispatch that thing." After about four minutes, there was a poompf sound from the roof of the Grey Lady, followed by the explosion of a 120mm Howitzer shell right on top of the Behemoth. 
"Well then. Since you haven't tried to kill anyone or strike a deal with me yet..." Roland said, looking Michael over, "I guess you can stay. Jacob's kind of planning the course right now, so you just go ahead and find a bunk. Not the one that's covered in blood, that's Jacobs, and not the ones with empty whiskey bottles in them. Those're my crewmen's bunks. The big one's mine. And you'll be fixing the deck." Roland didn't notice the guard- six feet eight inches and three hundred pounds of solid muscle- turn and punch the same EMAA infiltrator he had thrown out two hours ago right in the face with a fist the size of a man's head as he guided the crew back inside the ship.
Jacob heard something behind them. The guard was down. Drunkard. Roland should never have put him on watch duty. He turned back to Michael, and looked at him again. Like Alex, but stockier. Sam had nothing of him in her though. You'd swear they weren't related. He also had a glint in his eye. He had none of Alex's moral fibre.
Jacob turned back toward the cabin. He could swear he felt something move past him. Nothing. Not even the shimmer of a stealthboy. Too long on the water.
"Thanks.." Micheal said, shaking the mans hand, "Micheal Vain, and is it alright if I ask why that EMAA guy keeps climbing up your boat?"
"He's like a bad hangover; no matter how much you do to get rid of him, he always comes back more annoying than before." Roland extended his hand. "Roland Rockfort, and this guy here is Jacob Vaughton."
Matthew slid round the guard and crouched behind rockfort with is pistol out.did these people deserve to die rockfort yes he had insulted matthews honor but vaughton it would be intresting to see why he left the enclave.He moved back and turned on his pipboy transmiter "mesage begins:vaughton this is protector Matthew of the guardians i want to know why you left the enclave if you trust me meet with me on the plank:mesage repeats" he moved back to the shore where he could see the ship from it was up to vaughton now.
"Huh..?" Micheal grumbled, he heard something from behind Roland, he took out his Infiltrator, but forgot he had no ammo in his mag, and pulled the trigger behind Roland. He gun made loud clicking noises but nothing happened and he then saw the Enclave spy running away.
He pulled his D'Eagle out to no prevail as the enemy had already jumped off the boat.
He tapped on vaughton shoulder "vaughton come outside" he retreated to the outside.
"Oh, don't freak out about him." Roland pointed towards the infiltrator who was skulking around the deck, pretending to be stealthy and refusing to notice the crewmen laughing at him, and the fact that the man was sneaking around in direct sunlight on a portion of the ship where every crewman was gathered. "I could set my watch by the amount of times he's jumped onto my boat."
Standing on the deck, Vaughton looked at someone standing in Enclave BlackOps Armor. Wouldn't stop a Steel Knuckle to the chest. Definitely wouldn't stop a HEI bullet. This was the man who had been punted off the boat at least twice already. Jacob wasn't inclined to be kind to people who got into fights with his allies.
He didn't bother drawing a weapon. He was more than fast enough to pull one if this fool made a move. Even if he was another Warrior Weapon. Jacob raised his eyebrows as Skyler walked off the boat and into the crowd, towering over the locals. He had mentioned getting lost so he could find himself. Jacob had never considered he might leave so soon. Truth be told, he'd miss the guy. Two sides of the same coin. Even if Raikov said Jacob was massively superior, they were too alike to disregard the thought.
Matthew drew his knife "vaughton all i want to do is talk if i wanted you dead i could have done it before "
"You wouldn't be the first to try, and you wouldn't be the first to die in the process." Jacob stated. Since the removal of his memory grafts, that was an absolute, not a probable.
He drew his own knife, his father's KA Bar. All it would take was a quick jab and a severed carotid artery. Nothing could save this man if he did that.
"Put away the knife, and I won't pitch you overboard. Again." Jacob said. If this man was arrogant enough to think he could kill Jacob, he was arrogant enough to try something stupid with a knife in his hand.
"Alright," Matthew said, "Would you be nice enough to come with me? Or should I keep the knife out..?"
Jacob disarmed him without much effort, and secreted the man's knife inside his own duster. The man sat on the deck, holding his arm.
"I think you'll find, I'm not nice about most things. Go ahead, pull another knife, see where that gets ya." Jacob said as the man reached inside a puch on his belt.
Jacob motioned for the man to follow him as he led his way to his cabin. As soon as they got in the door, Jacob slammed him into a chair, and drew a gun. He pointed the heavy weapon at the stranger's chest.
"Speak. I want to know whatever it is you have to say, and what the hell you're doing on this boat wearing Enclave BlackOps armor. Yeah, I know what that stuff is. Just pulled a runner from a few of your buddies not too far North of the Estuary." Jacob said, cocking the gun dramatically as he finished.
Matthew reached for his combat knife and quickly stabbed it at Jacob, but, didn't even penetrate his armor, so Jacob threw him into the wall and..
Jacob pinned him, slamming his head against the floor again and again until he either lost consciousness or died. A quick check of his pulse revealed that this man was still alive, if barely.
Jacob lugged him over his shoulder, and walked out onto the dockside. He dropped the soldier out on a heap of something that looked vaguely like dead mirelurk. He climbed back aboard the ship, and nodded to Rolands look of Should we get going?.
Within an hour they were lurching back out to open water, headed towards what remained of the Panama Canal.
"So, where r'we goin'?" Micheal said to Jacob.
"DC. I have some business to attend to with a certain mercenary group." Jacob said, almost sadly.
He leaned on the railing, looking out into the deepening water.
"But, if Roland has a few stops along the way, I'm not going to object." Jacob said with a laugh.
"Just a couple; actually, mostly burnt out supertankers and such that may have vaulable supplies or equipment we can loot on board. Other than that, it's a non-stop ride to D.C." Roland mused, watching the steam billow from the Grey Lady's stack and the ship slowly churn away from Santa Ana.
