OOC: Not everybody in Antium are pure strain humans. Only William, his family(not including Sonia), and the original soldiers, councilors, and guards that came from the bunker are pure strain humans. Most people were either the children of kidnapped prisoners during village raids or former prisoners themselves like Sonia or New Manhattan GP supporters.

Ah ok my mistake. It just seemed that since they started out in a underground Robco bunker that they would all be pure strain.

[Elizabeth Falvey]

OOC: :confused: Justin, did you move my soldiers? The anasthetics were so you couldn't estimate the location based on time difference, I am kind of insistant on these things, not like I would make you wait a real world 24 hours between posts.

[yessenia hermosillo]

OOC: I never said it the time was how long the Vertibirds took to get there, between you and me as the reader, the Enclave could have been discussing whether it was a trap on my part. Those few hours were just how long it took Mieux to actually have anyone arrive at those docks. By the way, I'm operating under the auspices you're base,the poseidon plant one outside NYC, is still there, if it isn't then ignore me. But my post is in no way meant to determine your location, thats why I RPed the vertibird was was blackened on the door windows, and the cockpit is a seperate room, so it makes everything unidentifiable for me. I'm sorry if it came off that way, I know how determined you are to keep the base a secret, all Mieux knows is it is a Posiedon building, which are all over the US, so Mieux can't pinpoint where you guys are, he only knows it was a Poseidon Energy plant, but he doesn't know the where's.

Edit: As a notice, those soldiers are generics that more for yoru benefit than mine. I'm addicted to Sims 3 atm, and I don't want to hold you up. My post effectively allows you two posts in one, part A explaining Sutler and The Enclaves response to Mieux surrender, and part B, which indicates Meiuxs arrival.

Also, if your base doesnt have Verti-pads like the ones Raven Rock has, then you're free to RP Mieux as having peacefully co-operated to a blind folding, so as to hide the locations topside features if I dont respond to your next post in a reasonable time frame.

OOC: I play Sims 3 too. :happy:

Mayor Frank Vercelotti

"Thank you." said, taking a puff of his freshly lit cigar.

"Mr.Vercelotti, I think it would be in your best interest that Alex Scalatti and the Lake Federation are plotting against you. They plan to take over New Manhattan, it would be wise to heed my information, Frank...." Vito downed the shot of wine.

We're on a first name basis already, are we?

"Well, Vito." he said, emphasizing the name rather harshly. "Mr. Scalatti and I know each other personally. I am aware that he may have distaste for me, but he already runs Arcadia, and effectively controls New Manhattan. If he had anything against me at this point, he would be much more small-minded than I had previously perceived." he explained. "As for the Federation, they don't hold a candle to us and our forces. Even if they decided to come at us full force, we'll crush them like we did last time." he continued, casually. "However, I am pleased to see a concerned citizen such as yourself to stand up and bring the issue to my attention. Is there anything more you wish to discuss?" he asked, then leaned in closer. "You guys got any smuggling rings? The New Manhattan Mafia would be delighted to do business with you." he added, flashing him a wink.

[Alan Whiston]

after james finishes with cleaning and checking his wepons he gives the rest of his gear a once over while doing so he flicks on his pip boy radio again and picks up air trafic from a verti bird on an enclave encripted frequency hearing the pilot give off his position to the traffic controler. He realizes that there is still an active cell generaly close to his position but finds an old map to plot the position to be safe while still listening to the air trafic.

[Jonathan Windmon]

OOC: I understand old boy, was just saying that the anasthetic was too make sure you couldn't estimate the location of the bunker from the time that you left and the time that you arrived at the bunker, the layout of which I will explain IC.

The occupants of the Vertibird could tell when it had landed for the shaking stopped, as was the case when it came into land in the underground hanger of the Poseidon Energy compound, the Vertibird was slowly lowered to the level of the bunker by a huge, circular lift and once it was locked into place, a group of techinicians in olive military jumpsuits came from nowhere, carrying tools and a recharging cable; with the speed of pit-stop crew they set to work tuning the Vertibird, it would be fully readdy for combat again in three minutes.

Inside the Vertibird, the majority of the squad disembarked, two of the troopers stood shoulder to shoulder and waited for Mieux to exit via the only possible exit, they ushered him out into the cold and cavernous verticle hanger, only two of which were present at the bunker (the other being empty and used to store all of the unused furniture and gear from Vault 109.

As Mieux dropped out of the Vertibird, Sutler, who had been leaning against the wall next to the door began to approached him, he was flanked by a man in a vault suit over which he wore a white lab coat, he carried in his hand a metallic case about the size of a computer terminal keyboard; behind them was another gaurd, Captain Elizabeth Briggs of Sigma Squad and Sutler's niece.

"Ah Mr Mieux, welcome to Enclave." Said Sutler, he was trying to appear genial and welcoming, dispite being un-used to it for so long. "This is the first time that we have met on my turf I believe, please come here and roll up your sleeve, we won't kill you if you don't pass, you never were human when we made all those deals together earlier."

@Theb, you can't just find my base, I've gone to great lengths in previous posts to make sure that any idea that someone had to find it was rendered impossible.

[Anna Watts]

OOC: never said i did he just over heard a position check with there controler he may not have a position but he has a lead somthing he has never had before even if it is a dead end


James looking at the position examines nearby structures on the map looking for might well be useable for an enclabe base

James it seems i will have to remain vigilant

John Farbanks- 3 AM- His house near the North Wall

John woke up in a cold sweat. He turned over in his cot, and thought about the nightmare he just experienced. It was the same dream he'd had for the past 10 years of his life. Oh his dad, getting a strange request for some kind of machine, a dynamo he had called it. Of his dad, spending countless hours trying to get it to work, of trying to get the right parts in the right place. And then, when he finally had it, how he was so astonished, he dropped a wet metal plate into the middle of it, causing a chain reaction that destroyed his lab, and his body. By the time John had gotten to the smoldering wreckage, they had already pulled the charred remains of his father from the rubble. He had spent many nights reliving this dream, this nightmare. No matter how hard he tried to run from it, he could never get away from this dream, this nightmare, his reality.

He opened his door quietly, careful not to disturb his neighbor, a homeless man who slept in a trash can. He crept out to the wall, the only place that reminded him that he wasn't the only one who has slightly cracked. When he saw the wall, it reminded him that everyone, even the tallest, strongest structures, had something wrong with them. That's partially why he followed in his fathers footsteps; since he couldn't fix his problems, he would fix other people's. He stayed outside for an hour, repairing small cracks in the wall.

An hour later, John had run out of plaster to fill the holes, so he ambled towards the subway to get to the casino district. He decided he would spend the night in a hotel near the casinos, awaiting the return of the CAPone club owner

[Chase McAbee]

Mieux, to tired to make a snide remark, Mieux pushed up the sleeve of his charcoal toned suit, then unbuttoned and rolled back the sleeve of his arm. "I'm telling you I'll pass, I've found a cure for that sickness. With a little tweaking, we might be able to restore ghouls into pure humans. Anyway this suitcase-" He whacked a soldier over the head with the suitcase as he touched it, " Didn't I tell you not to touch this suitcase you moron? Bad no named goon, bad." He reposed himself and continued speaking to Sutler as if nothing had happened. "President Sutler, I come bearing all papers and documents proving my United States Citizenship. However, do to their sensitivety, they are only for your eyes. Care to lead the way to a more comfortable room?" Following Sutler and his guards, Mieux said in a tone of mock snobbinishness, "This decor is alright, but personally I prefer that 18th century Aristocracy decor." He leaned over to a soldier, "I swear, some people just have NO taste in decoration." He wasnt sure, but he could swear he heard the soldier cough to supress a laugh.

[Sarah Bishop]

Vtio Scaleta:

"Frank, those things aren't my decision, Joey runs the family. We do run smuggling rings. We do that with slaves at Liberty Lost, the Gallo's are really against slavery. We also smuggle people out of New Manhattan and The Slums." Vito said, prepared to sprint if Frank took offense to what he said

"Now, if you excuse me, I believe I should leave." Vito started walking

[claire ley]

Sutler watched the blood slowly fill up the hypodermic needdle, Mieux was being too genial as far as Sutler was concerned, he would have to be brought into line here, him and Adams.

"I'm telling you I'll pass, I've found a cure for that sickness. With a little tweaking, we might be able to restore ghouls into pure humans. Anyway this suitcase-" Mieux struck out at one of his soldiers. "Didn't I tell you not to touch this suitcase you moron? Bad no named goon, bad. President Sutler, I come bearing all papers and documents proving my United States Citizenship. However, do to their sensitivety, they are only for your eyes. Care to lead the way to a more comfortable room?"

Sutler darkly at scowled at Mieux, "Your word is not good enough when the very existance of my people is on the line here Mieux and you will not refer to Corporal Godfrey as a moron, in this world he is your superior; if you intend to call upon my assistance as a citizen of the United States of America then you will be a citizen of the United States of America in the current prevalence. Your papers here are null and void but I was going to ask you to collect them anyway to aid filling you out some new citizenship papers which I have already had reprinted, with my own as the template. All this, of course, assuming you pass the genetic compliacny test."

There was a few minute wait whilst the kit tested Mieux blood, for the first time since the kit was introduced, the green confirmation light came on. Sutler nodded his head slightly and turned to Mieux.

"Congratulations, Mr Mieux, we shall have you repatriated in no time, please follow me to my office." Sutler led Mieux through the dark passageways of the bunker. "Sutler slid open his door and led Mieux inside his small but comfortable office.

"It was intended to be the Base Commander's Quarters if the bunker had performed it's original function," Sutler sighed. "However, it can not and therefore , as the highest-ranking citizen, have taken it." Sutler waved his arms vaugly around the office, it had been plastered with old pictures from the Sutler family albumn, including the scrap of Newspaper Mieux had given him which had been framed.

"It's comfortable enough for a simple soul like myself and I've made it home," Sutler paused to light a cigarette and pour a scotch, he poured one, un-asked, for Mieux. "Now onto brass tacks as it where, I have your papers here." Sutler removed from his desk draw a small, passport sized, blue card booklet, stamped with various US insignia, the Enclave "E" being prevalent amongst them. "Please open your suitcase."

[Lizzie]

Mieux left the scotch on his side of the desk untouched, instead, he gently put the suitcase on the desk, it's metal casing gleaming in the light. "I beg to differ on those papers being null. I was born and lived on American soil my whole life, and those papers prove that, unless," Mieux smiled with a clever smile, "You're not THE American government, as opposed to an offshoot, which would still make you abide the governments laws." Mieux let out a faint snort of pride, knowing he, in technical terms, had a point. "Anyway, let's unlock this suitcase and open her up." Mieux knocked on each rear hinge, the left twice, the right thrice. He then pushed the locks where the key would go, and waited five seconds, allowing the C-4 implanted in the suitcase to deactivate. "Sorry about that me laddo, but this suitcase is designed to destroy it's contents, and injure the unauthorized own. The knocks are sensed and trigger the detonators disarm protocols, and keeping both front buttons in for five seconds disarms the suitcase, reactivates once the case is shut again. Anyway, this,"Mieux said, pulling out an oversized Holotape," Is a custom order Holotape, built to, as much as you'll find this astonishing,assuming you speak tech, over one terrabyte of information. I had a peak in the penthouse before Alex got home, he's running new, for Arcadia anyway, server software. Compared to my complex and unique system, it looks like a RobCo 'My First Computer'."

Mieux gave a smile of confidence, "Trust me, that disk is one of a kind, you think of screwing me over, that disk will forever be your Waterloo, unable to be cracked or used by anyone but me. That said, I think you'll find the date Mr. Utopia, the AI I use to 'run' the server software, he's akin to.... The AI program running the ZAX software in Raven Rock, though not as complex. Well, I don't know if you've been to Raven Rock, but it was a government COD Bu- Wait, forget it, another story for another time. Anyway, point in short, that disk shows the old NYC power grid and where it's power is routed to now, as well as various financial, geographic, and general region information. Be advised, this disk is NOT going to be at your leisure, as long as I am here, where I go, it goes. Let's be honest and on the ground floor," Mieux crossed on leg over his other, then leaned back in his chair, "Mr. Sutler, I am not asking your alliance, to many strings, what I'm asking for, is to leave me be. . What Im here for is a show of good faith, if you don't like it, tough, I'm not playing by anyones rules but mine, and mine in no way interfere yours. I only ask you let my work go unimpeded. I wish to retake Arcadia, peacefully, if that fails, then so be it. I'll merely retire to...." Mieux visably became hostile, " 'SCALATTI Tower' as Alex so renamed it. But I have no interest in becoming intertwined in anymore war efforts, if I do, Im going to kill someone." Mieux finished ranting, he stared blankly at Sutler, likely looking stupid, but Mieux reason was much wittier, as he'd let Sutler drone on, he'd slowly svck up everything in the room through his peripherals, learning more about Sutler as a person, seeing as a mans office spoke volumes of the man himself.

Liam "Starrk" Conners - Port Neptune - Pauper's Drop

For an hour Liam had tailed the unsuspecting conspirator all the way to Pauper's Drop the most destitute and crime ridden part of the city. The organizations hold on the area was pretty thin as few Black Suns could be spared to oversee the area which left several minor gangs in a constant struggle for supremacy in the downtrodden district. Life expectancy was extremely short as you had a better chance of being struck by lightning than surviving more than a few years in Pauper's Drop. The only real safe spot in the Drop was Sirens Alley where all the brothels, bordellos, taverns, and gambling were located. The Black Suns made sure to keep the alley safe as they got a large take of the profits. Liam knew the lay of the land quite well as he spent most of his childhood living here prior to Leon getting him to join the Black Suns.

As Liam kept on the heels of his prey he reminisced about his time in Pauper's Drop...

I was born in to a real [censored] up situation almost twenty-four years ago. My mother was a working girl out of the The Pink Pearl, I never knew my father. My guess is he was one of me ma's clients. Although mother was a jet addict she did the best she could by me. Unfortunately I didn't know my mother that long as she got herself killed right around my tenth birthday by some [censored] who she refused to service or at least that's what her "coworkers" told me some years later. Her body was found stuffed in a dumpster a week later and with no other family I was thrown out of the [censored] apartment we'd been staying in as I didn't have any money to pay the rent.

Forced to wander the streets I took to grifting and petty theft to survive. When I couldn't scrounge up any money I was forced to eat whatever people threw in their garbage which usually wasn't much as people in the Drop were very poor. About a year later I made a big mistake ripping off the lieutenant of Lion's Pride a pivotal gang at the time. The thug chased me into a dead end alleyway and he was ready to beat my face in when Jerold appeared a gun aimed at the goon. The guy ran off falling for Jerold's bluff as the weapon was nothing but a BB gun. Jerold was an older boy at least sixteen who took care of abandoned and orphaned kids in the area. Leaning the gun over his shoulder Jerold told me he had a place where kids like me could live and be safe. He took me to a condemned building where Jerold and twelve other children lived. For the next few years I felt like I finally had a family again even though we had to steal to survive. However even when we got caught we would take the blame equally. The family looked after each other and for the first time since my mom died I felt happy. Though it was not to last we had six good years together before misfortune came our way.

Lion's Pride who we had stolen from several times over the years finally caught Jerold. Everyone knew the pride was responsible for his death but his body has never been found. I shudder to think what the bastards did to him prior to murdering him. Since I was the oldest I took over Jerold's duties caring for the kids but I could never provide nearly as well as he did. Three years I struggled trying to keep the family afloat but I failed. Even with Jerold gone Lion's Pride hadn't forgiven our crimes against them as if they went unpunished it would be an invitation for the other gangs. Three years went by without incident but while I was out pandering on a street corner one day The Pride found our home and burnt it to the ground killing all who were inside.

I shutdown after that. What did I have to live for? Jerold was gone. The orphans I had sworn to protect died because I was a failure. I sat in the street waiting for the end to come. That's when I met Leon Graves. He was a young idealist who didn't let life get him down no matter what happened. He got me off that street corner and I joined the Suns where I discovered my talent for remorselessly killing people. Maybe all the suffering in my youth had made me numb to human emotions. Soon after my initiation was completed I returned to the Drop and over the next six months I systematically wiped out Lion's Pride to the last man. I still remember how Furio Tigre the gang's leader begged for his life when I had him cornered in his drug den. I tied him up and burned him alive in his drug den. An eye for an eye as the old saying goes. After that I spent my time helping Leon rid the world of his enemies. I owe him that much as he got me to keep living when I was ready to give up.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Liam removed himself from his thoughts when his mark started making his way over to a crumbling apartment complex.

OOC: Just trying to give a little background on Leon's right hand man.

James hears a trip wire trip and his landmine trap go off.


James.... another dumb scav he gaters another few mines and some wire and a sidearm and goes to the surface.

James i was right..... he loots there bodys and dumps them down the hill several wild dogs were already scouting the bodies out when james turned around walked back up and reset his traps and checking the others then returns to his bunker.

he sits and reads a big book of science wile hoping he will be able to sleep tonight.

[Izzy Coleman]

Sutler hated the smug look on his face but at least, in this one instance, he could make a come-back; he leaned over and took Mieux scotch, and quickly drinking his own. "Actually Mieux, had you been present for the last centuary and a half of American history, you would know that the early Enclave administrations saw fit to, nullify the citizenship of all of the mainlanders; that-way, for example, when I was out on mainland patrol and I followed my duty to exterminate every facet of sorry mainlander life that I came across at my juristiction, we never broke any constitutional laws and therefore remain legitimate. Your papers are null and most certainly are void as far as I am concerned, and you will have some new one's filled out; it will take a few seconds for you to copy all of your infomation down onto this new ID there's a good chap. Besides I am the government, the power flowed through the Enclave after the war and then when elections were held between proper citizens, we are the government. You signed a peace of paper, a treaty which I still uphold, respecting the authority of the Enclave as the legitimate government and me as the legitimate President."

"Trust me, that disk is one of a kind, you think of screwing me over, that disk will forever be your Waterloo, unable to be cracked or used by anyone but me. That said, I think you'll find the date Mr. Utopia, the AI I use to 'run' the server software, he's akin to.... The AI program running the ZAX software in Raven Rock, though not as complex. Well, I don't know if you've been to Raven Rock, but it was a government COD Bu- Wait, forget it, another story for another time. Anyway, point in short, that disk shows the old NYC power grid and where it's power is routed to now, as well as various financial, geographic, and general region information. Be advised, this disk is NOT going to be at your leisure, as long as I am here, where I go, it goes. Let's be honest and on the ground floor," Mieux crossed on leg over his other, then leaned back in his chair, "Mr. Sutler, I am not asking your alliance, to many strings, what I'm asking for, is to leave me be. . What Im here for is a show of good faith, if you don't like it, tough, I'm not playing by anyones rules but mine, and mine in no way interfere yours. I only ask you let my work go unimpeded. I wish to retake Arcadia, peacefully, if that fails, then so be it. I'll merely retire to.... Scalatti Tower' as Alex so renamed it. But I have no interest in becoming intertwined in anymore war efforts, if I do, Im going to kill someone."

Sutler suddenly became much darker at the mention of Raven Rock,

"Oh I have had the pleasure of being at Raven Rock Mieux, I was there for 30 years serving the ZAX computer and I was there when it went insane and had to be stopped," Sutler remembered well hiding ontop of a storage crate before leaping onto the back of a Sentry Bot and stabbing violently at it's circuits with his Ripper, which he unconciously stroked, holstered by his thigh. "It was there I held off the Brotherhood of Steel hordes and there that I lost my wife and son, you will not mention Raven Rock again, do you understand me?" Sutler breathed deeply. "I could care less at the moment about the contents of your holotape so you can cut out all the smug [censored] now, you're on my turf now and quite frankly I am [censored] tired of you swanning into every scene thinking that you call the shots; for however long you intend to stay at this installation you will do as you are told, you want my help? Then start showing me some [censored] respect, [censored] knows I've earned it, took [censored] from you and Adams for far to long now, you all think I'm just a pompous old man stuck in the past? Well think again Mieux, [censored] think again. I will help you however, in whatever way you require, you could have told me to stay out of your way down the radio surely, what do you want from the Enclave?"

[Far'ed K.G.h.m]

James slightly irritated that yet again he could barely sleep looks at his map with an old facility highlighted

James thinking " the fastest way is through is to trek it by all that radiation.... I need the possible supplies and tech there..."

James sighs I’m going I have to its getting hard to maintain this place ill have to suit up so I am not exposed and move at night should be easy enough

he opens the back room to his bunker with his PA and Weaponry in an enclave password protected energy field he inputs the password and shuts it down.

James dawns his PA and plasma rifle with plenty of ammo and had done a mini mobility test and is pleased with his ability to maintain his gear it was like he took it off a few hours ago.

he heads out under cover of darkness to his destination hoping to get the supplies he needs or even finding anything better. After trekking all night he was hold up in a old abandoned building near the radiation site waiting for dark he sat idle waiting to continue on

[Leah]

Leon "Eclipse" Graves - Port Neptune - Graves' Spire

Leon rubbed his eyes for the third time as he studied the report before him. The longer he stared at the document the less he could understand it.

"Bah! I need to catch myself some shuteye as I can't function like this. Now that I think about it, when did I sleep last?", Leon mused as he rose from his chair. "It's been about a day and half since I got back from Arcadia and I didn't even get a full nights sleep before I left due to Mieux's unannounced intrusion."

Leon shuffled out of his office closing the door behind him. The exhausted leader then made a beeline for the elevator. A few minutes later Leon stepped off on the tenth floor, his sanctuary. Throwing off his blue suit Leon changed into his pajamas and clamored into bed. Sleep overtook him quickly as he soon as he hit the sheets.

[Sakura Haruno]

OOC: Theb, I don't want to seem a killjoy here, but if that's the Poseidon Energy installation you're encroaching up, you might want to think again. Realistically, your presence have been spotted in that hulking power armour, and no doubt our defence systems would have picked up upon one of their energy fields being deactivated. The likelihood is you'd have been shot from a distance, or at least be forcefully boarded onto our vertibird, or something like that.
If you are indeed approaching Poseidon, then perhaps we can work something out, though you'd have to talk to Adam (The Enclave) about that.

EDIT; nevermind about our energy fields; I misread your post. Apologies.

Alexander Scalatti

After Mieux left, John wanted to gamble a bit. Ann loathed gambling, but liked the fact that Alex recently built a new penthouse at the top of the Casino, and added three new floors to the casino as well.

After getting on the jeep, it took only a couple of minutes to reach the casino. After he parked the jeep, the three got off, was greeted by the fat bouncer, and entered the casino.

The casino was a mad house. A live band http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0ZBaZoBCaA Mafia thugs were hanging out in corner tables, people were gambling, and many more drinking.

Alex sat down at his personal table, John and Ann followed suit.

[Vera Maslar]

Mayor Frank Vercelotti

The mayor watched as the mafia boss shrugged himself of with a few parting words and left. Hmm, strange fellow. he noticed, finishing his wine, then leaning over to grope Lyn and offer her several kisses to the neck. "I missed you baby." he said to her, once he had finished his display of affection.

Franks thoughts then turned back to the conversation he had just had. What if Alex really wants me dead? What if the Federation really is back? What if they're stronger? a thousand questions coursed through the mans head, but he had no answers. Perhaps I should schedule a meeting with him.

With a suddenly worried look in his eye, he quickly jotted down a message on a scrap piece of paper and got it sent by a messenger. "Give this to Alexander Scallati." Frank ordered the man. "He'll most likely be in his casino, or the tower in Arcadia. Try the casino first, since it's closer." he added.

"Sure thing boss." was the reply. Before long, the messenger grew curious and decided to read the contents of the note. It read:

Mr. Scalatti,

I know we haven't been on the best of terms, but we need to put that behind ourselves now and act like men. We're both in positions of power, and owe it to the people to take care of them. I want to talk to you personally about this in my office as soon as you can make it. It's about LF.

- Mayor Vercelotti

Frank had purposely written the name of the Federation in it's initials so if the message was intercepted, it would remain dubious as to what "LF" stood for. The dimwitted messenger dutifully delivered the message within the hour.

[ashleigh bryden]

Mieux smirked, not taking Sutlers grave tone to heart. "Pompous old man stuck in the past? That's my job. Mr. Sutler, the business is this. I don't like you anymore than you like me, however, ask yourself this. If I didn't respect you and the Enclave, would I have calmly, and, quite cordially, surrendered when I knew full well you'd likely hunt me down yet never likely to find me? Despite the fact you and your people are reviled by most any major settlement, I did business with you? I'm an arrogant man, but I do have respects. Of all my post-war business partners, I've not respected anyone as much as you. But, respect doesn't mean I have to kiss up to you, I won't play the fool and soothe your ego, nor will you mine, it's the way we are, both two snarling dogs, to old to bite, but just enough bark to scare others, and to make your equals respect you. I regard you as an equal, hence I have managed to keep you from killing me for so long, I step where I'm allowed, and cease where I am not. I'm sure you will never admit me your equal, and it will be your Coup De Grace one day, to underestimate the ability of your adversaries, neutral ones such as myself or enemies such as the Brotherhood."

Mieux smiled, but more an embarassed one than a smarmy one, " What DO I want from you and your men? Good question. Honestly, I just had no desire to be hunted like a rabbit. But, while I'm here, is there anything I could offer you for your being such a gracious host?"

OOC: hes heading to a research facility to gear up and see what research he can dig up he does not know whats exactly in the facility


James under cover of dark again walks through the radiation field and happy at how effective his PA is doing.

James at least those scientists knew what they were doing he makes it through the field and can see the facility off in the distance.

after around another 25 minutes of walking he makes it to the front door he tries to open the door and could tell that it has not been used in a long time. He manages to gain entry into the facility and notices a screen flickering displaying data and power percentages

Display sows what the main reactors and secondary reactors were shut down by hand and the facility is being run on a reserve now seeming to fail.

James manages to get instructions to the reactors from the screen after messing with the junction switches for a while
