As the bullets flew by at great speed, Daniel wondered just how long they could hold up exposed as they were. As the small team pressed on up the hill. They hadn't counted on finding any super mutantsso far away from DC. Daniel heard Vera scream in to her radio. "Open the hatch!" As they looked towards the horizon they saw it open, out of it came Trigger the team sniper holding his rifle. The unmistakeable sound of Trigger's rifle going off filled the surrounding area. As Vera looked over her shoulder she saw mutants head turn into a fine read spray. Lennon, the teams heavy weapons expert raised his gun into the air and let out a howl.
"Nice shot Trig!" Daniel shouted as they neared the hatch. Trig slipped back down the hatch followed by Vera, Lennon and Daniel looked at each and then Lennon nodded and lowered himself down the hatch. It made sense that he should go first, Lennon was giant therefore an easy target and his guns were dry. Daniel took one of the frag grenades from the belt across his chest and threw it in the direction of the super mutants. He hand be aiming for the largest of the group, a mutant with a minigun clutched in its giant hands. Though he missed the one he had aimed for, the grenade continued over the large mutants shoulder and hit another slightly small, but every bit as ugly one behind it in the chest. As the grenade exploded the mutant disappeared into a shower of bone and flesh. He saw that a large peice of the mutants skull hit another rather comicly in the forehead. As it staggered backwards and the larger of the group looked back at the confusion, Dan jumped down the hatch grabbing the handle and pulling it shut as he fell.
As he landed on in a crouch at the bottom of the chute, he pulled the large lever which triggered the locking mechanism of the hatch. He shut his eyes and waited a moment, not long after loud bangs would fill the 'Rec Room' as they called it. From the chute he could hear the howls of the super mutants assaulting the hatch in fury. He gazed around the Rec Room and saw Trig and Vera talking by the living quaters, and Lennon was off by the work bench already repairing his gun.
"Nice work team," Daniel said "We'll get 'em next time."
"Cut the bullcrap Dan, that could have easily went badly. We just got lucky that Trig here opened the hatch when he did." Vera said, wrinkling her nose.
"Always the pessemist Vera," Lennon chuckled "Dan had plenty of ammo left, and I don't see what 'yer cryin' about, you've got enough stealth boys to get us to Rivet City and back." He chuckled again as he began to disassemble his gun. "Shut it you big ape, we wouldn't have been in that situation if you weren't damn trigger happy." And at that they were all laughing. Daniel walked over to the Nuka-Cola machine and kicked the machine, a bottle fell into the tray.
"Hey big man, throw me one of those wrenches." Dan shouted across theRec Room. Without looking Lennon picked one of the wrenches up from the lower shelf on the workbench and tossed it across the room. Dan used it to pop the cap off the bottom, and flicked it onto the pile of caps on the desk by the cola machine.
"So did any of you manage to grab anything while you were out? " Trigger finally spoke.
"I got us some food supplies, and I managed to grab a rifle of one of the dead mutants for parts." Vera said, she was beaming proudly.
"I got nothin'." Lennon said, too preoccupied with his gun.
"I grabbed this toolbox," Daniel walked across the room to his backpack and took out the small steel box. "Not sure whats in it though, its got a pad lock on it."
"Let me see that!" Vera grabbed ran across the room and grabbed the box from Dans hands.
"Sure thing." Daniel walked off toward the living quaters. As Vera examined the lock and removed her lucky pick from her pocket. As this was going the mutants continued to attack the hatch, but after so long they team had grown used to it. But suddenly all went silent..
