Life of a Wastelander
Chapter 1
The wasteland was cold and dark, the only sounds were of radscorpions in the distance fighting. Dave lissended to the scorpions as he ate his can of baked beans, while also watching for anything out of the ordinary. The wasteland was all that dave knew, as a child dave lived in a small town some where in West Virgina, but had to leave after a small group of raiders came to his town, looking for a man that had made a bad deal two days earlier. Daves father was the mayor of the small town, and tried to make a deal with the raiders by offering food, water, and shelter, the raiders turned the deal down and continued to ask for the man, daves father tried telling the raiders that the man was no longer in the town, saying that he was headed West.

For weeks daves father pleaded with the raiders to leave the town, he continually tried to bribe them, but with no success, the raiders took the raiders took the bribes, but never left the town. A week later the raiders had disapeared from the house, that was given to them by the mayor, the people of the small town rejoiced and had a feast to the disapearence of the raiders, even the daves father and mother rejoiced, dave played with friends as the feast continued through the night, "Dave, the bad men who came to town have left", cheered one of daves neiborhood friends, dave and his friend ran throughout the streets laughing and cheering and glad that the bad men had left.

The next morning the town was back to its normal routine, daves mother tried waking him up for breakfast, while daves father was back in town hall, dealing with the town. Dave finally woke to the smell of eggs and toast, that his mother was making, "Good morning honey, want some breakfast", dave shook his head, while his mother scooped some scrambled-eggs onto his tin plate, and laying two pieces of toast on the side.

Later in the day dave got dressed, and headed outside to play, "put on a jacket honey", daves mother said, dave looked towards his mother, "Do I have to, its not cold outside", his mother looked at him sturnly, dave understood and grabbed his jacket, and then rushed outside. Dave walked up the street towards his friends house, that he had been playing with last night, "HAY DAVE...OVER HERE", dave looked and saw his friend playing with another child, that he had'nt seen before, "Who's this?", dave pointed, "Dave meet...um...Whats your name again?", "Alice...my name is Alice, my parents and me just moved here from the south, it was too hot there", dave examinded the girl for a moment, "Which way is South?", daves friend asked, dave and alice pointed to the left, "That way", the two said, looking at each other.

The three played together almost all day, playing tag, hopscotch, and other games that dave and his friend didnt usually play, the two tried to get alice to play some of their games, like Brotherhood of Steel Paladins, Super Mutant exsterminators, but alice wouldnt have any of it, she said that those games caused good people to do bad thing. As the day came to a close, the three separated ways, and headed home.

Later that night dave and his parents had dinner, talked about their days, and then went to bed, as dave was getting into bed a womans scream could be heard, dave ran out of his room towards his parents, who were in the living room, looking out the window, "Whats going on out there?", dave asked shaking from the frightning sound, his mother looked down at him, "Dave go back to your room!", "But whats going on out there?", daves mother looked at him with the sturn face, "GO", dave ran back into his room, and grabbed his cork gun, that him and his friend used as their weapons, when they played. The sound of more screams came, this time from women, children, and men, as dave looked out his window, and saw that the town was on fire, dave ran backout to his parents, "I want to get out of here, I'm scared!", dave said shaking, on this mothers night gown, "Ok dave well get out of here", daves mother looked at his father, "We need to leave, its not safe", daves father looked at them both, "Ok you and dave head to a neibors, I'll be right behind you", daves mother looked confused, "What, your coming with us!", daves father went into their room, and came out with something wrapped in a cloth, "Here take this, I'll be right behind you Ok", daves mother grabbed the object that was in the cloth, and grabbed dave, "Come on honey, were leaving", "But what about Dad?", "You heard him, he'll be right behind us".

Dave and his mother ran to his friends house, knocking on the door, "Hello, its Jena and dave, please let us in", a voice yelled at them, "NO go some where else, no one is coming in", daves mother pounded on the door, "Please let us in!", no voice replied. Daves mother looked at dave, "Dave you and me are going to go some where else ok, I dont want you to make any noise, can you do that for mommy", dave looked into his frightended mothers eyes, "Ya...I can do that", dave and his mother raced towards an old warehouse, that housed old barrels and wooden crates. Dave and his mother entered the warehouse, "Ok dave, look for a big wooden crate or barrel, thats open", dave looked around for a minute, "look theres one, over there", daves mother ran over towards a wooden crate, and looked around, "Ok dave get in the crate, hurry", "I dont want to get in the crate though", "Dave, honey you have to for your safety", dave got into the crate, "Dave take this, dont loose it or give it to anyone...Ok", dave shook his head as his mother gave him the item, wrapped in the cloth, "I'll be right back, dont get out of this crate until the noise stops, and dont come out if you here voices", daves mother placed the wooden lid over the crate, and ran out of the warehouse.

nice but i cant really judge it till theres more

I'll work on the next chapter.

pretty good so far

Chapter 2


The next morning, dave woke to the sound of men with wagons and chains, and a strong stench as dave squeezed his hands around the object, the sound of foot-steps could be heard coming closer, dave was frightended, he didnt know where or what happened to parents his, "This place looks clear to me", one of the voices said near dave, "Ya no one is in here lets load-up the rest, and get out of here".

Dave waited for the foot-stepsand the sound of the wagons to leave. A few hours later, dave finally heard the last wagon leave the area, he pushed the crate lid off to the side and looked around, everything seemed to be ok, but dave still was'nt sure. Dave got out of the crate, and carfully looked around again, "Everything is so quiet", dave thought as he made his way towards the exit, "I wonder if mom and dad are ok", he made his way down the road walking behind the houses, as not to be spotted if anyone was still around. Dave walked into his house very quietly calling out to his parents, "Mom...Dad...are you in here?", no one responded, "Maybe their at the town center?", dave continue to walk down the street, when he suddenly saw a hand, dave leaped back behind a wall, "What do I do, mom said that I'm not supposed to be seen, maybe the persons asleep?", dave tip-toed towards the hand wondering who it could be, dave looked around the wall, and realized it was his friends mother, laying on the ground, dave slowly walked over, "Are you ok?", the mother did'nt move, "Mrs. Summer...are you alright?", dave got closer to the body, "I dont know what to do, I'm hungry, and dont know how to make breakfast", dave realized that his friends mother, would'nt answer, and continued down the road.

Dave made it down to town hall, and saw that it had been burned down, as well as the other buildings around it, bodies were laying around every where, dave tried not to step on any while seaching for his parents, dave desided to see if anyone was in the burned out town hall, he ran inside looking around, "MOM...DAD...ANYONE", a sound came from across the room, behind the stairs, "Who's there?", dave demanded, but only the sound of crying returned, dave causiously walked over, "Who's there?", but once again only the sound of crying returned. Dave looked behind the stairs, and realized it was alice, the new girl that had move from the south, because it was to hot, "Alice what are you doing here?", alice looked up at dave with tears in her eyes, "I ran from my house, to yours, but no one came to the door, then I ran to randys house, and someone told me to leave, so then I ran here, and hid", dave looked at alice and tried standing her up, "Come on alice we have to leave", alice looked at dave, "Where are we going, I dont know we need some food and water though", "I think all the bad men took the food and water?", dave looked at alice, "where's randy, his mom was laying on the side of the house when I left the warehouse, but I did'nt go into it", alice looked at dave I dont know I saw him run with his father and mother when the bad men were getting everyone together here?", dave and alice left the town hall, and searched all the houses for some food.

Dave woke to the sound of men screaming and yelling, he jumped up with his pistol in hand, looking around he spots six men rounding up feral gouls and putting them in cages. Dave checked the chamber of his pistol then his clip, "Damn only five rounds left", he holsterd his pistol looked back up towards the russlers, grabbing all his supplies and findings, he begain to walk over towards the men, "Hay there any chance I might get a lift", the men caught off guard draw their rifles and pistols towards dave, "Who are you?", one of the men yells, "Just a scavanger looking to get to a town, I need to offload some of my findings, would you mind giving me a lift?", dave looks at the six men, they seem to be tired and worn-out, the men look at each other knoding, dave contiues over to the men, "Where you guy headed to?", "A small encampment for today, then tomorrow we head towards a small town, anymore questions", dave knodes, one of the russlers searches for weapons, "Ah what do we have here, a pistol", dave looks down at the pistol, "Obviously, have you ever spent a week out in the wasteland, its very dangerous", the man hands the pistol back, and returns to work.

Later that night dave and the six russlers start talking over a camp-fire eating baked beans, and talking about the wasteland, "So sacavanger how long you been out here?", "About two weeks, trying to find something worth selling, how long you guys been out here?", one of the men reaches over to get some more beans, "Well for about three days, we get paid by finding feral gouls, and then we sell them to this guy in the town were going to, who puts them in the areana", dave looks at the man with a puzzled look on his face, "What do you mean areana?", "You'll see soon enough dont worry", dave looks down at his beans, "Maybe it was a bad idea to get a lift from them?" dave thinks as he eats some more beans.

Your story seems pretty good, I think it deserves more.

I would like some more thoughts on my story, like if I could make it better or something.

Pretty good mate, keep 'em coming! Really good!... Really! :thumbsup:
Just try not to make too many repetions on the names, and organize a bit more the speechs and it will be ok.

the first chapter in the very first paragraph needs to say something about him going to sleep for the dream because of the transition for when he wakes up
and then if you have people that havent even heard of fallout read it youre going to need some more details like descriptions of the ghouls, people, and the town/ wasteland
but other than that good story

Chapter 3

As the sun rises over the hills, the men begin to wake one after the other, gathering up their equipment for the trek to town. Dave watches as the russlers check the cage for any sign of it breaking, one of the russlers lookes over at dave waving him to come over, "Hay scavanger, why dont you give us a hand with all this", dave walkes over towards the cage, "What do you want me to do?", the man hands him a bag that has a terrible stench coming from it, dave opens the bag causiously, when the stench hits him even worse, "What is that?.. oh my god that smells terrible", the men laugh at dave uncontrollably, "Its hands...give the gouls some breakfast for the trek", dave pulls a bandana around his face, and begins handing the gouls their breakfast.

later in the morning dave, and the men play cards in the covered wagon while they travel through the wasteland, "So what will it be seven-card-stud or spades to beat?", askes one of the russlers, "I dont care", "Seven-card-stud thats my game", "No you always win at studs, besides spades is more challenging", "I know I always win at studs, thats why its my game!", the three men look towards dave, "How about you scavanger?", "Well I'm not all that into cards, but I'm better at Black Jack", the dealer Knodes his head and starts passes the cards around, "Ok boys, the name of the game is Black Jack, who ever gets the highest number wins!", "What are we winning", dave askes, "The job of unloading the gouls when we hit the town", "What?", "Who ever wins, has to unload all the gouls when we hit the town, and believe me no one wants that job!"

As the card game continues, the sound of automatic gunfire is heard in the distance, the russlers drop their cards and grab their guns. Dave pokes his head out of the wagon, "Where is that gunfire coming from?", dave askes the driver, "Some where over to the north-east, it could be some BOS paladins clearing a Super Mutant position, lately the Mutants have been raiding small towns for supplies, not sure why, but we hired the BOS to deal with it", dave lookes towards the north-east seeing nothing, only hearing the sounds of gunfire, "Who's the WE, who hired the BOS?", "The mayor of our town, he used to work in one of the salt mines of the state, and then made it big by making his own salt mine company, so he has alot of money to through around", dave lookes towards the others who have their weapons drawn, dave draws his pistol also.

After passing through the BOS and Super Mutant area, the men finally reach the town, dave looking at the small town in astonishment, "You were'nt kidding when you said this town was small", the driver looks over at dave and smiles, "This is only part of the city, its the safest way into the town, but this is only part of the town, look", as the wagon passes over the ridge, the whole town can be seen, including the areana in the center of town, dave with astonishment takes everything in, "This place is amazing! I've never seen anything like it before", dave says as the wagon pulls up to a loading dock, "Well this is our stop, and if you want to unload your goods, go to the market district, thats in that direction, and a place to stay, is also in the market district, oh and watchout for the local guards, so long scavanger", dave hops off the wagon and waves good-bye to the russlers, "Have a fun time unloading those gouls, I'm going to explore this city!", the men wave to dave as he is consumed by a wave of people coming to see what the new haul is, "Who's the new guy in town Jeff?", the driver turns around looking straight at the chest of a BOS paladin, "No body, he just needed a lift to town to unload some things thats all", the BOS paladin looks at him for a moment, then into the crowed where two BOS paladins are handling crowed control, the BOS paladin signals towards dave and the two paladins begin to pursue.

While traveling through the streets dave is emersed, with all sorts of goods from all-over the country, sea shells from the west coast, hides, dyes. "Maybe I should find a place to stay for the night", dave heads towards one of the many hotels on the street, "Excuse me is anyone here?.. I'm looking for a place to stay", a little old woman who seems to be partially burned walkes out of a back room, "What can I do for you today sir", "I'm looking for a room to stay in over-night", the little old woman grabs a key from behind her desk, "Here you go, that will be five bottle caps please", dave hands the bottle caps over, "Its the third door on the left", "Thanks", dave says walking to his room while the two BOS paladins watch from outside.

I'll work on it more later. :wave:

I like it so far. Try not to make as many spelling errors, maybe add in a fight scene soon (with good descriptions) and I think it will be even better.

I like it. I haven't played any of the FO series yet, but I've done some research and found the story easy to follow.

Chapter 4


As dave woke to the sun shining through his half-hinged shutters, dave desided to go out and sell some of his findings. The little old woman was down stair looking at her inventory list, as dave walked by, "Well if it isnt the man from last night", the old woman said smiling with half-rotten teeth, "Oh...Hello beautiful morning isnt it", "I guess it is, oh and by the way some paladins were looking for you a few hours ago!", dave looked puzzled at the woman, "Why were paladins looking for me?", the little old woman slowly walked over to him, "Because your new to town, and recently crime has gone down in this little town thanks to the BOS presence and the their looking for the slightest mistake, including illegal traders like yourself!", dave looked at the old woman confused and frightened, "But I'm not illegal... I think... I came in with some russlers, who were kind enough to give me a ride to town", the little old woman walked back to her stool to continue her inventory, "I would watch my back if I were you, they may seem big and loud, but their really big and slient, so watch your back".

Dave walked out of the hotel, more observant and cautious, "How can I be illegal, I didnt know about that, the russlers did'nt warn me to "Check in" with anyone", dave thought walking down the street when a hand grabbed his shoulder, "Sir can you come with me for a moment", the man was a BOS paladin with a white emblem on his left briast plate, dave shook his head in fear, "Is there something I did wrong?", the paladin escorted dave down the road towards a large building, that had been carved out of the hillside, "I dont know what I did, I'm just a trader trying to make a living", the paladin pulled on daves jacket, to quiet him up.

As the two approached the building, a short woman with a hood and large jacket came flying at the paladin from a group of people who seemed to be merchants and traders as well, the paladin was hit with the heel of her boot, dave fell to the ground hitting his head on a rock, as the paladin tried to balance himself, the group of people rushed towards dave swarming around, while the short woman pulled out a laser pistol from her jacket and fired five shots into the helmet of the paladin, the group rushed away with dave, who was unconcious, while the cloaked woman fired at the oncoming reinforcements of paladins.

Later in the day dave awoke with blured vision he looked around too a man talking to a woman, dave looked around again ignoring the man and woman, he seemed to be in some sort of medical facility, he tried to speak to the man and woman but they paid no attention to him. After going in and out of conciousness, dave finally awoke to see a blonde woman with blue eyes sitting next to him, the woman yelled for a doctor, "What... am I... Doing here... Where am I?", the woman leaned towards dave, "your safe for the time-being", dave looked around, "What is this place?", the blonde woman ignored his question, as the doctor entered, "Well seems like you've had a exciting day, does'nt it, I'm Doctor Taylor and this is the woman who saved you", dave looked over towards the blonde woman again, "My names Emily, your lucky when we got you, or you'd be dead by now", dave looked confused, "What are you talking about, why did they try to Take me, why did you Save me, WHERE AM I", the doctor injected some morphine into dave, to calm him down, "Dont worry, your questions will be answered soon", emily said with a smile.

Dave was awaken by the Dr. Taylor the next day, "So how are you feeling to day!", the doctor asked, "Well... I feel fine really", "Good that means you can have a look around at our facility", dave looked puzzled at the remark, "So your ok today", emily said in the doorway, dave looked over, "I guess I'am", dave looked at the doc smiling, while emily grabbed daves clothes from the closet, "Here put these on, then we can walk around", emily through his clothes on the bed and left the room, "Some babe, huh doc!", the doctor checked his pulse, "Well she is something, a bit young for me though", dave looked at the doctor smilling, "You've got quiet the sence of humor", the doctor left the room while dave changed into his clothes.

After getting dressed dave was given a tour with emily, "So who are you, why did you "save" me, and where am I?", emily looked at dave sturnly then chuckled, "Well to answer your first question, WE, are a orginization to rid this town of Darsby, of the BOS", dave looked at emily curiously, "Why do you want to do that, on my way to this town a russler told me that your mayor hired them to rid the town of Mutant Attacks?", emily looked at dave again, "First off Darin is not "our" mayor at least to the ones that oppose him, he's the one who brought them here in the first place, you see, Darin is infected with F.E.V, and has been staying in power because of the continuous Mutant attacks, he states that "If I leave office, then we will be over run with Super Mutants", which is not the case, the only reason he's still in power is because the BOS is free to kill all the Super Mutants they want, and are able to "Police" this town, they've tried to do this with other towns, but have been unsuccessful", dave looked at emily shocked so what do the towns people do about it?", "Nothing, they cant fight against trained soldiers, it would be a massacre, thats why were here", dave shook his head in amazement, as emily showed him around their underground facility, "What about my other questions I had?", emily looked at dave for a moment, "We save you because one of our own tipped us off to you being here "illegally", and so we have been watching your place, and the paladins that were also watching you", dave looked at emily, "You mean that little old woman who runs the hotel?", emily knoded, "Yes she has been working with us since her son "Disappeared" from the town", dave and emily continued on their tour through the facility, "There are four exits and one entrance, the four exits are to the north-east part of the complex, west part of the complex, south-west part of the complex, and on the east side of the complex, the entrance is to the south, which is on the out skirts of the town, so its non-hostile part of the town".

The next day dave slept-in, only to be pulled out of bed by emily and the sound of gunfire, "Get up the BOS have sent Paladin to the north-east part of town, and are trying to gain entrance!", dave shot-up off the ground grabbing his clothes, "Where's my pistol, I need that pistol?", dave said while franticly putting his clothes on, "Here Take this rifle, its better for penetrating BOS Power Armor, and put this armor on", emily handed dave a plasma rifle, and some temporary armor made out of scrap metal, "HURRY, they need our help!" emily yelled as dave laced up his boot, "Ok lets go!", the two rushed out of daves room onto the express train heading towards the fighting, "WHEN DID THEY START ATTACKING US?", dave asked yelling over the sound of the train cab, "ABOUT FOUR HOURS AGO, ONE OF OUR PATROLS WAS SEEN EXITNING THE NORTH-EAST EXIT, BY A PALADIN, WHO CALLED IT IN, LUCKLY OUR BLAST DOORS ARE PRETTY THICK SO THEY CAN HOLD OFF LASER OR MINIGUN FOR AWHILE", as the train slowed to a stop, the cab doors opened with the sound of a recorded womans voice, "Have a nice day", dave laughed and looked at emily, "Talk about Irony", emily looked up at dave, smiled and the two rushed towards the blast doors.

Chapter 5

As the blast doors opened the sound of screams, echoed through the tunnel of the complex. Dave and emily looked at the continuous smoke and dust that was coming into the tunnel, "Get ready dave its going to be hairy!", dave looked at emily for a moment, "Dont worry I've been around many feral gouls and mutants, to know when I'm not wanted!", the two rushed out of the tunnel as more BOS Paladins begain attacking from the east, emily and dave dove behind some sandbags as the ground shook from a frag grenade. The BOS Paladins from the east, begain to fire on the resistance forces position, while continually marching forward, a man begain waving and screaming at emily, "EMILY GRAB SOME SOLDIERS, AND MOVE TOWARDS THE PALADINS COMING FROM THE EAST", emily knoded at the man and begain rounding up fighters, "Dave your with me, we need to get some more men firing on those paladin!", dave knoded in agreement and begain to help, "SOLDIER, YOUR WITH ME, AND YOU TWO IN THE DITCH, ON ME!", the three men crouched trying to run towards dave. A paladin firing from the left slope spotted the movement and begain to fire at the men, "GET DOWN!", dave yelled at the men, a blast from the paladins plasma rifle erupted, as one of the men fell to the ground, holding his right leg trying to get to cover, dave rushed towards the other two soldiers, "You two continue with emily, I'll try to retreave that soldier", the two men ran towards emily, who was already heading towards the on-coming paladins, dave crouched behind some sandbags yelling at the soldier, "HOW BAD IS IT?", the man cringed for a moment, "I DONT THINK ITS THAT BAD, IT JUST REALLY HURTS!", the man cringed again in agony, dave tried to look over the sandbags but was over come by rifle fire, "HOLD ON, I'LL BE RIGHT BACK", dave begain to crawl towards some shards of glass that was scattered all over the battlefield, as dave reached for a large enough piece, several rounds from BOS paladins fired at daves hand, "DAMN-IT", dave pulled his hand back waiting for another chance.

Dave looked over the debris which was giving little cover to him, the BOS were in the brush, all that could be seen was plasma rounds flying through the brush and debris, dave reached out towards the shard of glass once again, and was not fired upon by any rifles, he rushed back over to the wounded soldier, "I'M BACK HE YELLED!", no answer he tried to look over at the wounded soldier, "HAY I"M BACK", he saw that the wounded soldier had been shot several other times, all that was left was his torso and left arm, dave looked away from the body dropping the shard off glass, he looked back over towards emilys postion, he franticlly grabbed his rifle and ran towards her position.

As dave ran towards emily's position he saw a small contingent of seven BOS paladins moving towards him, he dived behind some sandbags and debris, and begain to fire on the BOS, the sound of his rifle erupted to life as he took down one of the paladins, hitting him in the chest, dave fired another round this time missing the paladin behind the one that had fallen. dave looked around for a grenade as the oncoming paladins opened fire on his position, the sound of the plasma rounds hitting the sandbags, and debris echoed into daves ear's, "YOU WANT SOME MORE MOTHER, WELL HERE'S SOME MORE!", dave popped back over his cover with rage in his eyes, he begain firing into the paladins, two paladins hit the ground as another dropped to the ground by being shot in the leg, but got back-up and limped for cover, dave yelled for some support, "HAY I NEED SOME HELP HERE!", no one replied as dave popped over the cover once more, "GET SOME, GET SOME", the remaining paladins scattered, behind some cover, the paladin who had been injured was too slow and was immediatly knocked to the ground by a shot to the chest, another was shot in the chest and lower left ribcage while falling to the ground, dave took his chance, and continued to run towards emilys position.

As the battle raged on dave crawled to emilys position, "Dave you made it, we thought you got killed or something?", dave smilled at emily and the two men he had ordered to follow emily, "No just go distracted, so hows it going on this end!", emily smiled and pointed to a small ridge that was covered with destroyed shacks, which made for good cover, "Well they spread out for a while, retreated, then reformed and continued to march this way, but was forced to push back to into that small shanty town after we unloaded some rifle rounds and grenades into their ranks", dave grabbed some binoculars, that were sitting on a heap of dirt, he looked around the shanty town seeing if any BOS troops were visible, "Well I dont see any... Wait I see one he's moving to another shack, to the south", dave handed emily the binoculars, "Yah I see him. George get timmy to fire on position 2-2-7", george relayed the message to some men who were beyond the perimeter, three men jerked up and through some grenades, towards the target, an explostion rattled the ground and daves ears, "Alright we got him!", emily said looking through the binoculars.

As the morning grew to midday, and midday to evening, neither side had gained any ground, the BOS begain to pull back into the center of the city, while the rebels, took care of their wounded, as well as taking BOS power armor from the fallen. Dave returned to his quarters, to take a bath and eat, while the rebel commanders, planned their next move. Over the intercom a womans voice spoke to the rebels, "Today was a good fight, our contacts in the city say that the BOS is licking their wounds, though we too took a pounding, our wounded, luckly did not out number their dead or wounded that were found on the battlefield, later tonight we will have a debriefing of our next plan of attack for tomorrow, in the cafeteria, at 16:00 hours", the intercom silenced as emily approached dave eating his dinner, "So dave you did pretty good out there today, at least for a scavanger!", dave grinned as he dunked his bread into his gravy, "Well thanks, you did'nt do to bad yourself!", the two laughed as they ate their meals, and separated ways, when the woman on the intercom returned, "Lights out, Lights out", the lights of the complex begain to shut-off, as dave hopped into bed.

Chapter 6

The next morning dave awoke ready for the new day, all the rebels were running around gathering armor, weapons, and anything that could be put to use for their attack. Dave bathed, dressed, and went to the cafeteria to get breakfast, dave sat and ate while all the rebels continued to rush around him, he spotted emily walking with a medium box with a chain of ammunition haning out the side, "EMILY, hay over here!", dave said waving to her, "Oh dave, where have you been, you were'nt in your room this morning?", "Oh I woke-up early and decided to get something to eat", dave pointed to his food, with a sickly grin, emily put the box of ammunition down on the table, and stared at his face, "So when are you gearing up to fight?", dave looked at her confused, "What are you talking about, I have'nt joined?", she looked at him disapointed, "Oh I thought that yesterday during the battle... You would help us with our struggle", dave shook his head at the question, "No I was just here when the shooting started, and I figured that since you saved me, I would save your complex", emily grabbed the box of ammuntion, and walked off with a furiated step.

Later that day the comotion quieted down, as the final preparations were made. Dave packed all his gear, including the rifle that emily had given him, and started to the east exit of the complex. As dave made his way to the exit, a tall woman with brown hair stopped dave grabbing his shoulder, "So your dave, my soldiers have said alot about you, or at least what they know about you, they say you held your own during the battle yesterday?", "Ya I guess?", the woman looked at dave again for a moment, "Emily tells me that your planning on leaving us, that your not going to help with taking back the city from the BOS", dave looked at the woman with a blank stare and turned away, "Its not that I dont sympothize with your cause, its a just cause, its just that I'm no soldier, I do what I know how to do...", "And thats how to fight... To fight oppression!", dave looked at the woman with a hopless glance, "No its not how to fight, its how to survive, thats what I do best, its what I've done my whole life, ever since my town was destroyed when I was ten, thats all I've done", dave brushed the womans hand away, and continued to the exit.

The woman shook her hand in the air towards dave, "YOU NEED US DAVE, THE WORLD ISNT MEANT TO BE ALONE IN ANYMORE, YOU'LL COME CRAWLING BACK.", dave ignored the brown haired woman. As dave exited the complex, the sound of gunfire and exsplositions could be heard, dave looked up toward the city and could see several plumes of smoke, "Those fools, they should have never attacked", dave thought ask he contiued down the old sheep trail. Screams and the continuation of gunfire echoed through the wasteland as dave traveled back into what he had always known.
