OOC: everytime I check back here I end up four pages behind.... jeeze.
setting up for another creature encounter, left the timing for that up to others
don't think having nathan saying anything at this time would add much so a monologue and making follow-up for Roy and The creature.

Nathan sat on the side of the conversation quite bored and waiting for these people to get over their sappy moment, it was nice to know that the harlet had a reason to dislike him past the general dislike most wastelanders extended to ghouls.
Nathan tapped on one of the walls with a small length of pipe he had found lying on the ground and wondered when these people would turn on him and butcher him like a Brahmin
/////
Roy sat at his repaired desk and listened to reports about the carnage wrought from the force stampede. from what he understood of it almost the entire building had been destroyed major portions of it having been smashed the building was on its last legs he was also getting scattered reports of an unknown creature that was spearing through everything and had claws that matched the damage dealt to the second sound box. While the group he had sent earlier seemed to be lost Roy did not place much thought into it if they survived then Starr would hand him the GECK or well ,Roy chuckled, he would have her hand.

It was angry the outsiders had been within It's grasp and they had escaped!
It slammed a claw into one of the flimsy walls of this place ripping out chunks of the building the floor was covered in body parts human or otherwise and several creatures lay in a pitiful state of dismemberment lacking most or all of their limbs screaming for help even when there was none.
walking over to one It sank a claw deep before pulling the creature from the floor and chewing trying to recover some of the energy It had spent and felt a disturbance in the air. Dropping the half eaten man It extended all of the senses It possessed to the maximum there below it somewhere was a constant tapping that had not been there before it did not sound natural.
It had another chance to find the Outsiders perhaps these ones were them.

OOC I'll try to refrain from posting till everybody else is ready

Demetri shook his head, "You really think one man can change the way the enclave is," Demetri said, "Then you're ignorant, I assure you, if you don't provide any viable results with this mission you will be replaced, specially when they find out amlost all your men that were sent into the base got slaughtered in trying to take down a group of mercs, they won't care if that creature did, and trust me, they'll find out."

Demetri started to look into the terminal again, finding some commands, he pressed open, a set of trapdoors a few metres away tried to open. Demetri went over and had a look, he couldn't see anything jamming them, unless some plants had grown around the mechanisms. Finally getting a chance to use his newly found powerfist he punched repeatedly at the centre of the two doors and after a few punches manged to make a hole. Grabbing on of the doors, trying to ignore the pain as the metal dug into his hands he pulled both doors open, "I think we just found our entrance."

Starr covered her ears to block out the loud metal on metal noise. After Demetri had finished bashing into a trapdoor, Starr asked, "What do you see?"

"Just a tunnel," Demetri said, "Be back in a moment, just going to check it out." Demetri walked in, using the light from from the glow stick, going in he came to a cave entrance. Demetri almost tripped over something on the floor, looking down he found it was a vault door, pulling off some vines he saw the number 41 on it.

Going back up, "Well it's not deep, but watch your step, and it's comfirmed, we found the entrance," Demetri said, "May have some problems with debris in the actual vault.

"Awesome, want to bring me down?" Starr said getting excited.

We've finally made it! she thought.

"Will do," Demetri replied, he slung his minigun over his shoulder, he picked Starr up and got her to lean on his shoulder and helped her down. "You alright, not hurting you or anything?" Demetri asked.

OOC: do you not have a mini gun ammo backpack Blackmane? if so then I question how much ammunition you have left in that thing.
Nathan sighed and walked toward the hole peering into it hearing a hissing nathan looked to the left, one of the larger gas pipes on the wall had sprung a leak "Just a warning but unless you guys want to get cooked down here shooting seems to be a bad idea."
when Mr. Raoos and Starr dropped down he hole Nathan turned and muttered lowly to Henry "I don't know when but be prepared for the worst, this will end with blood on someone's hands." stepping into the hole nathan could not help but feel a chill, this place looked like some gigantic esopogus.

Tom resumed his role of warden over Henry, as well as keeping his eye on Nathan. Both Demetri and Starr had revealed some of the worst parts of their lives, and yet Tom doubted they knew his last name. On some level, it bothered him that he couldn't open up about himself, but it was the way he was, so Tom managed to push it out of his thoughts. He paused as he heard a sound of rocks crumbling above. Tom stood there for a moment, listening intently, before he shrugged and fell back into his position covering the group's rear as they descneded into the tunnel.

"I'm fine," Starr said to Demetri, "Just wish I could walk."

((If I had to take a guess, after raiding the armory for extra ammo and with the battle, maybe about 2/3 of a case.))

"Don't worry about it," Demetri said, "Aslong as we don't run into any major hazards we should be fine." Demetri stumbled on the door like he did the first time, just holding himself and Starr from falling, "Sorry about that."

Henry slapped in a fresh energy cell in his laser pistol and said "One man may not change everything, but I can try. I need those results or else I'm dead as you say, so if you don't give me a choice I may as well die trying." Henry took point, and took out a USAS 12 combat shotgun and said "I found this in the vertibird, I think it'll come in handy. There was still his sonic grenades, those would prove absolutely lethal in these close quarters. Looking at Starr he said "Here, take this super stim, it'll get you back on your feet nicely. The debris is gonna be a big problem if it prevents you from continuing .

"No thanks, Mark gave me one, and that's what put me on my butt in the first place," Starr said, "I'm just going to wait this one off I guess."

Starr wondered what the GECK looked like, and more importantly where it would be.

"What does a GECK look like?" she asked the group.

"Hmm, all those chemicals must have some bad side effects, Henry thought in his mind for a few seconds and got another idea. "How about a shot of adrenaline, keep it with you until you need it. The GECK looks like a suitcase, well that's what I remember." The Enclave had stored some GECKs at a Edwards air force base but was lost in the fighting with the BOS. That was one of the reasons why the Enclave needed one. Then a thought occurred in Henry's mind. "What would really solve our problems would be the schematics for a GECK. The Enclave could probably eventually scrap a GECK together."

Mark looked around Vault 43 and thought, "If I was a Vault-tec employee, where would I put the G.E.C.K.?"

Nathan answered sarcasm heavy in his tone " behind all the scary traps and angry grandmothers?"

"I'd say the science labs since they were experimenting with it, how ironic, a lab within a lab." Henry looked around and said "that would be to the left"

Mark said, "Yeah, that does sound rather redundant." He then started walking to the left.

Demetri followed behind with Starr, he looked around, the vault was in a poor state, grubby and the foliage everywhere. A door had been so overgrown with vines that it was impossible to open. "Don't know why, this vault like most others just feels wrong," Demetri muttered, the idea that vaults were not there to protect didn't seem unlikely, if the enclave was any way to see their goverment of old, maybe they were heartless bastards.

"Most vaults were never meant to last for 200 years, usually they're all either dead or migrated away within the first 100 years. This one at least has foliage, unlike most of the wastes." Then a sudden though hit Henry, "If we're underground how does such thick foliage get sunlight?" The only the thing that could do this was the GECK

(OOC its almost midnight here so I'm gonna go to bed)

"Should we start looking?" Starr asked.

Tom remained at the door, looking back down the tunnels. He was sure he heard more sounds back at the base. The wastelander was weary. They had a good idea of what this thing was, but not how to stop it. He inched back inside the vault, looking at the door controls. Tom mulled it over in his mind. If he closed the doors, they would be safe inside the vault from that creature, but the door might not open again. If he did nothing, they'd be cornered inside with the thing. He shook his head and turned before Tom yelled to the others "Should I close the barn door?"

"Like to see you try," Demetri laughed, "That wasn't a step we walked across, the door has come off." Demetri carried on through the tunnel, "Now lets not delay, maybe split up?" Demetri said, "We'll be able to cover more ground."

Mark said, "Sounds like a plan, though groups of two would probably be the best." He looked around and felt slightly unnerved. He thought, "I wonder if all Vaults feel like this?"

"Well next question, who with who?" Demetri asked, the main problem is if Nathan or Henry got hold of the G.E.C.K first there would be problems.
