"You addressed my question of firepower before I even brought it up, so that's a negative." Knight responded. "I want to see if I can tinker with this laser rifle after the mission, but I'm ready."

OOC: I'm back, but I have no idea where I am, I'm invisible I guess.

George wiped the blood off of his sweater, and left the house. He didn't exactly know what happened when he attacked the woman, but he didn't want to know. It felt to George as if he was possessed, and couldn't control himself when he attacked the woman. Now, he was covered in blood, and sat on her couch as he cried. He killed another innocent person, and he didn't know what he could do about it. The attack was so brutal, the womans arm was ripped off. George didn't look back at the house, as he walked away, trying to get his mind off what happened.

As he was heading towards Vault 101, something was happening. It was like the possession, only not violent. At first, he couldn't walk. Then, he fell down to his knees.

"What's going on? Why can't I move?!"

He looked up at the sky, and saw a bright light. He began to scream, as he knew it was him. It was the one.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! I couldn't control myself!", George yelled towards the sky. A wastelander saw George yelling. He was confused, as there was nobody there but him and George. There was no bright light.

"What? No!!! I promise, it wasn't me!" , as he uncontrollably reached for his ripper, "The Voice". He couldn't stop himself from using the ripper, as he turned the weapon on, and used it against himself.

"AAAAGHHH!! WHY?!?". He began to cut himself with the ripper, making a circle on his chest. The blood was flying as the ripper sent the drops of blood scattered. Finally, he stopped, and dropped the ripper. The wastelander watched as George cut himself, and saw him pass out. The wastelander didn't know who George was, but was so terrified he began to run away from the insane man.

For George, everything went black, as he began to calm down from what happened.

The radio went off. George was out cold.


((OOC: This may sound very weird, but I wanted to show that George is insane, and believes he is controlled by different people. Some good ol' development. Kind of. ))

(OOC: I think we were on the Vertibird and saving Megaton and now we're back at the citadel. I've only just got back too though.

((OOC: Now, from what Aussie has said, he wants all of you to nuke Vault 101. Fortunately, I am miles away, on a religious experience. ))

((Do you mind radioing the coordinates to the vertibird? The voices want you to))

((OOC: First off, this will be my last OOC post before another IC post, whenever that happens. Second, there wouldn't be a need for it Roaven. The Lone Wanderer would obviously know where his once was home is. Unless you mean like the password, but if you are nuking the entrance, that wouldn't be necessary anyways haha!))

((In that case Roaven, no. Hahaha!))

((No, I mean the coordinates of your guy. We can spare a bomb or two))

"Sounds good, we can't starve them out, vault 101 is self sufficient so we have to go in and take them out." Henry didn't say this but if there weren't civilians in the they could blow a hole in the vault then dump it full of oil and set it alight. If not oil then he would've suggested radioactive waste. Henry reloaded his rifle and made sure he got some extra grenades, he was going to need them. Looking at Jugger's flamethrower he asked "Where can I get one of those?" a handheld flamethrower would be very useful in those cramped conditions and the firepower would be devastating. Henry was going to lead a small fireteam and he made sure that they had assault weaponry suitable for the task. "Its gonna be a hard fight."

((OOC I guess we're going to have to lock him up in an asylum afterwards))

(OOC: You guys need to read! Right now we are on our way to vault 101 to raid it, cutie bi and Francois are with me and the rest of the BoS bar Nuclear.)

Dakayev stared at the woman

" It seems you found out how to make quite the form of music, I see"


She smiled

" Well, I mean, it only takes a couple of minutes if you have the know how, Captain"


Dakayev chuckled

" What did you need me for?"

She walked closer to the desk

" I thought we could spend a little time together, maybe get to know one another, close up."

Dakayev wasn't in the mood, especially since he anticipated a BOS counter attack any moment.

" Darling, I'd love to spend time with you but I have some things to attend to, when this is all over, you and me will be all that matters"

She frowned

" Yes Captain, I'll be in my quarters"

She smiled then walked back the way she came

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

Dakayev continued surveying the vault, the original inhabitants eating and living out their regular routine. Dakayev knew what to do.

" All security personal and operatives, the BOS invasion is coming, and we have not that much time. I am only going to say this once, so listen clearly!"

Dakayev cleared his throat


" The Brotherhoods intent is to kill us all, each and every single one of us. Unless you have amazing diplomatic skills, I suggest the whole vault equip itself with weapons. Each and every single man and woman prepare for the fight of your lives! That is all, troops"


Dakayev then closed the intercom and went outside his office. Within a matter of minutes, the vault was in a commotion the likes ever seen.

Average men and women were equipped with some of the deadliest weapons, armor and machines available. Some cried to their children and told them to hide in the living quarters. Others began to give goodbye hugs before putting on the armor and weapons and marching along with the others. Dakayev strode past them, each one of them saluting him.


" Sir"


" Sir"

Dakayev watched as he gave the vault its armaments of war, the Vault dweller would never win.


He marched up to the Atrium where the entire faction was. 800 men and women cramped inside a small Atrium.


" You all today have the chance to live. You have the chance to rebuild the world. The Brotherhood isn't coming to save you, they are coming to slaughter each and EVERY one of you. When they come in, I want no remorse, at all! If you even think of turning on your comrades and teamates, I will shoot you myself! Is that understood! We have no-where to turn, unless you want to die painfully, I suggest you get chop chop! and prepare defenses around the atrium and the inner corridors."

Dakayev was about to salute them when a frail looking vault dweller walked up.

" Screw this, I'm going to bed and you can go screw yourself along with the rest of your lousy faction!"

Dakayev looked at him with anger

" You lazy incompetent bastard!"

Dakayev pulled out his sniper rifle, aiming it at the trembling man

" Better luck in the after-life..."

Dakayev aimed it and pulled the trigger, splattering the mans head

" Anyone else got anything to say?"

Everyone chuckled a little while some of the vault dwellers crapped their pants

" Prepare the defenses, no one gets past the main door!"

(OOC: Ok so Here's an update, we're still waiting on Nuclear Anatomy MkII, Cutie Bi and rmctagg09 to post. Then I will post commencing the attack.

Andrew thought, "I have a feeling we'll be fighting more than just the IF, I hope I'm wrong." Andrew then clicked the safety off his 10 mm submachine gun and waited for the Vertibird to land.

Dakayev looked as everyone hunkered themselves down.


He then grabbed his portable intercom

" Today is the dawn of a new empire. We will rebuild the world. Fight hard and we will win this war, and peace can be restored!"

"But for now, we must fight, and you know what!"

Dakayev paused, then let his voice go in full thunder

" Today, we say, WE WANT WAR!!!!!"

The entire vault shrieked with the thunderous roar of hundreds of soldiers screaming in agreement.

((OOC: Sorry I haven't been on in forever guys, I couldn't get my internet hooked up when I went on vacation. I'm not sure if i'll be able to catch up, i'll have to read some more first. One again, sorry. ))

((Turning the vault against the vault dweller? That's harsh))

OOC: Suddenly the former-Captain died of a heart attack when he doesn't have a heart. Either way, it's late for me and I can't be bothered to try and catch up, (You try partying for 6 hours and be happy to write something that says what you're dude has been doing for the last 14 or so posts... ) So, yeahz, I'll be officially back sometime later guys, RP is still in control of Aussie.

((OOC: Wait, how'd Dakayev know we were coming? Oh, and sorry for my infrequency too.))

Jugger said another "Roger" into the radio before clicking it off and turning to the other soldiers in his Vertibird.
"Listen up. We've been designated for a special priority during this next mission. While everyone else will be attacking from a hole blasted through the back side of the Vault, we'll strike from the front as a distraction and push squad." He spoke crisply, losing the flatness he was known for in order to give a type of motivation to his troops.
"We'll get a mini-nuke to detonate once we land. Stay with me once the mission's a go, and don't run off."
Afterward, he grabbed the radio again and flicked it onto the LW's frequency. "Ready."

Nate leaned back in the metal seat of the vertibird and rested his rifle on his lap. He unbuttoned his flannel jacket, and rolled the sleeves back up to his elbows, as he always did before he fought. His wounds seemed to be healing quickly, and he felt better than ever. He looked around at Ash and Ryan. Or was it Andrei?

"This is going to be one hell of a batle." Nate said, gazing out of the window of the vertibird and into the parched lifeless wasteland.

Were coming Dakayev.

((OOC: Sorry for the short post, wanted to wait for everyone else to be online before I got to far into it. Its good to be back. ))

(OOC: Welcome back Last. Sorry about lack of posts, had stuff to do! Results day, University set ups and all that jazz. Plus had a distinct lack of creativity. But I've just watched Million Dollar Baby and it's inspired me. One of the only movies to make me cry!)

Ashley was in a daze since boarding the vertibird on it's way to Vault 101. The last few hours had gone so fast that it was hard for her to work out what had happened in chronological order. Had she really been to Megaton and now on her way to the Lone Wanderer's Vault? Her revolver was loaded and back on her hip so that must be some confirmation of what was happening. It felt so surreal.

I need some sleep. Ash had been thinking that for nearly a whole day. She shifted in her seat uncomfortably. Her armour was making it increasingly hard to move. With a growl of fustration she unbuckled it and pulled it off before trying to get into a comfortable postion to sleep before they reached the Vault.

Andrew looked around and watched his teamates. When he looked at Nathan and Ashley, he said, "Funny, some time ago we would've tried to kill eachother, but now we're working together because of a common enemy. All this because of a mad Russian and his sycophant best friend. So what are you guys going to do once we've stopped the bomb and apprend or kill those two? Hell, I wonder what we're going to do once and if we beat the IF over here. With their numbers, they could just overwhelm us and exterminate life in the Capital Wasteland the long way."

((OOC: Just came back from a mini-vacation. Probably will edit this post into an IC. It will just be some filler explaining what happened to George, and if he will head to Vault 101 before or during the attack. I want to do during for MANY reasons. :flamethrower::shocking: ))

(OOC: Inspired to write something, fishing gives lots of time to think! :tops:)

IC:

I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, thinking about how this was all going to work out, I looked at the other people with me and I sighed, this wasn't like most people think it would be. My mind kept drifting back to the thought of the final choice that we would have to make, Dakayev compared to the main threat was like comparing a Radroach to a Deathclaw... I gave a small grin at that, but it didn't reach my eyes like most of mine normally would have, I started humming to myself.

This was life, life was terrible, but sometimes life could turn around... I grunted, my life wouldn't turn into something great after this, I knew that in the end it would just be a choice between who lived and who died... I knew who I wanted to die and who I wanted to live, only one person had to die, while the rest could live... Or we could have one person live and the rest die. I shrugged my shoulders at myself, I hadn't really said anything since we'd left, but maybe now was the time.

I gave a small cough to make everyone think I was going to give a big speech, "Guys, I just wanted you to know, Dakayev isn't the end of this trail, theirs more to this war then just him. He's a tiny part of the Invisible Faction, the tiniest part, a Rogue Cell Leader, the main war hasn't even begun yet... And when it does, I want you all to know, one of us WILL die, it's a definite, I know this but I can't say why... The meaning will become clear in the future, but until that moment, you have to tread in the darkness, if you would."

I gave a small laugh, then let my expression fall again, "I know who I want to live and die at the end, start thinking about it, because one of us will die and I intend to make sure the person I've chosen dies, no matter the cost. I've done every possible calculation I can with this stupid brain of mine and I'm sure that I've made the right choice, make sure you make the right choices, otherwise you'll regret for the rest of your life... Whether it's short, or long."

I sighed and closed my eyes, going back to my humming.

Nate raised his head, and listened to Andrei, his expression changing througout the whole 'speech'. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Andrei.

"How are you positive that one of us will die, when you haven't even seen the outcome of this whole scharade yet? I reallly don't quite get you sometimes, 'Andrei'." Nate said, catching the name Andrei with finger quotes.

I know that Dakayev is just a small piece of the puzzle, but the way that Andrei makes these crazy assumptions is just weird.

((OOC: Ugh sorry for the short posts, I cant think of much to write right now. ))

"Another vague speech from Ryan, just like the one on the roof." I thought as Ryan finished his 'speech'.

"The future is never set in stone Ryan, we'll all cross that bridge when it comes to it and what ever happens, happens," I yelled out just before hearing the other vertibird radio in.

"This is vertibird 112, we're coming in on your position with the payload. Over,"

"Roger that 112," I replied "We're located directly west of Megaton, you should be able to see us from the air. Try to maintain silence and come in low so you are undetectable. My team and I will meet you outside. Andy out."

I put the radio down and opened the door of the vertibird, the sun shone brightly as it was beginning to rise. The dust from the wasteland picked up as the wind blew across it, I took a moment, just a moment, to take it all in. This place was my home, not just vault 101 but the entire wasteland and I would do what ever it takes to defend it and it's people. I hopped out of the vertibird and felt the gravel crunch beneath my feet as I landed. I heard the low buzz from the vertibird as I looked up to see it coming in. I signaled the bird to land.

When it had landed I moved over to the door and opened it. I gave a slight nod to the pilot and the crew. The bombs had been set up perfectly. Mini nukes that had remote demo chargers attached to them, the perfect weapon. I told the crew of the vertibird to take one over to Jugger's vertibird, I also told them to help attach a radio to it so we could hear enemy movement. The nodded and began to lift the nuke and take it towards Jugger. I looked back at the rest of the team.

"Are you going to help me carry this or what?" I said with a smirk across my face.
