"Alright, as far as I can go, I don't want to wander off to far," the man wisphered to himself. He carefully slid the gun onto a rock and aimed at a wild brahman. "All alone, damn, just as I was hoping for some good meat, this thing is probably diseased and gone mad." Just as he said that two more appeared out from behind a rock. "Well, there is a God and you're in luck Teko." Teko lined up his shot at the heads, he carefully pulled the trigger and the round gashed all six necks, the Brahman quickly died of this injury and collapsed. "Better than I thought," Teko smiled. He walked over to the brahman and cut up the good meat and put it in a large bag meant for meat, he put it on his back and started due south. Within a hour he made it back to his camp.
"Hey Teko, howd it go?" A man holding a combat shotgun and wearing metal armor asked.
Teko smiled and answered, "Very dandy, I got three good looking brahman."
"Well glad it went well, but dont you think it'd be better if we took them back here to farm them?"
"We dont have the resources to do that, and we need the food at the moment, I'll go back out tomorrow and see what I can get, if its any good i'll bring them back to farm."
"Right, anyways, nice hunt," The man smiled and opened the gate to the camp. The camp was build in the old pre-war city of Manhattan, the location that the resided in was a four block area around where the empire state building was. The Empire state building blew in half when the bombs fell, part of it was still usable for living in and other uses. The area was gated off with razor sharp barb wire on top of it, it was also reinforced with plywood and 4 by 4's. Teko walked over to his shop that was accross the street from the front door of the empire state building. He entered his workshop where he saw his aprentice Fordo hunched over a crafting table sleeping from stress and exaustion.
"Fordo," Teko said lightly shaking him, "Fordo, wake up."
"Huh? Oh sorry, I've been working on this new idea and I guess I fell asleep," Fordo explained groaning in tiredness.
"Go home get some sleep, come back when your freshned up tomorrow," Teko told him walking over to his own work area where he had a blue brint layed out with a frame of a laser rifle laying on top of it.
"Ok Tek, I'll see ya tomorrow," Fordo ackowledge walking like a zombie out the door. After he walked out Teko went back to work on his laser rifle and with in 2 hours ad finished it with good quality and locked in in the gun case. After that he went to work on the wiring of the intercome system thay have set up around the whole camp. After he made sure everything was still green he went hom, which was somewhat connected to the shop, and went to bed. When he woke up and had eaten his food and got dressed, he walked back to his shop and saw Fordo sitting at the table again in thought, on the table was a balstic knife.
"Is this what you were straining yourself on, a ballaistic knife?" Teko asked stunned and confused.
"Not just any ballistic knife, explosive ballastic knife," Fordo explained smirking.
"Please don't kill us working on it," Teko said with a straight face but, was really pulling his leg.
"Coming from the one who collapsed one of the metro tunnels," Fordo looked over smiling.
"Technicly, that metro tunnel was usless, it lead no where, but I'll give it to you, touche," Teko chuckled. Teko then heard a sound, "Fordo back up!" Fordo backed up quick and the knife exploded enough that if he sat there he would have been hurt bad, but not enough to hurt him a few feet back.
"Ugh, well, thanks, saved me," Fordo said somewhat out of breath and embarrassed.
"In a way, I was saving my own ass, Lily would have killed me," Teko smirked. Shortly after Fordo had gotten back up, alarms started going off. Teko and Fordo looked at eachother and ran out of the workshop looking around. The men stationed at the east wall were firing down at something or force large enough to cause alarm.
"All Troops not stationed to a post, report to the East wall, I repeat, report to the East wall," the intercome voice ordered. Teko drew his Rifle and Sprinted off to the wall.
"Ah [censored], this can't be good, fight well my friends," Fordo sighed. He walked back into the workshop and went back to work carefully monitering the situation. Fordo is not trained in being a Trooper yet so he does not report to the first call, which is Troops, or in other words, men actually trained for real fighting. In an extrem case, anyone capable of fighting is called, which would include Fordo.
"Overlord, rear right flank," Teko ordered. A rocket troop to his right aimed on the overlords feet and fired. The blast didnt Kill the overlord, but it knocked him off his feet as well as killing a few Masters that surounded him. Teko then aimed on the overlords head and fired, the blast had taken the overlords helmet off, making it weak enough for the bullet to rip open the skull. After the overlord was down the Super mutants started getting annoyed. Some of the mutants gave up and fled. Ther others went into a rage and got careless, making it even easier to kill them than the ones fleeing. Within ten minutes of the overlords death, the battle was over, and the men had looted all the bodys for ammo, and other suplas such as the weapons for spare parts. Teko had made one last scan of the area, then returned to his workshop.
"So, how'd it go?" Fordo asked being a [censored] as Teko walked in.
"I got to rip open an overlords skull, that's always fun to do, well, for you it's watch," Smirked back.
"Touche," Fordo chuckled, "I think I actually just about got a reliable prototype down."
"Let me see," Teko insisted leaning over Fordos back. Teko suggested a few modifications to do and then the work was done.
"Care to try?" Fordo asked with a smirk holding the knife out. Teko grabbed the knife and shot down the testing rang at a dummy. The knife stuck in, but didnt explode. "Aw what a dissa-" Fordo was cut off by the knife exploding and putting a crater in the wall. Teko looked at Fordo and handed him the hilt of the knife.
"Now you have to make more," Teko said winking.
"Watch it," Fordo luaghed. Teko walked into his private quarters and took a shower to get the smell of blood and blood off of him.
