Dakayev was looking at Nate. Cocky bastard doesn't know what he's getting into.


" Either way, which post is Ashley taking and which post are you taking during the operation?"


Dakayev looked at Captain Harris


" Sir , what are our corresponding positions?"

" And by the way, Nate, can you hand me some beer over on the counter there?"

Dakayev pointed to a old desk with a single bottle over there. One half empty.

" Don't get a funny idea"

((OOC: Sorry guys i've gotta' go to the doctor, and Enclave, in my other post I said that I threw the knife back to you. I should be back within an hour or two.))

OOC: I'm pretty sleepy . I won't post till tommorow. Anyways, what, you're going now? You leavin Ashley all by herself? :rofl: You know me.....AHAHAHA. Ok I'm done.

I just started laughing, everyone turned to me and I just continued laughing, wiping away a tear at the end, "Ahh, reminds me of Mother Russia... Answering your question that seems a long time ago Dakayev, of course you can play our National Anthem, although I don't know if everyone has the stomach for Vodka... Either way, to answer a closer question, I guess our posts are as follows: Follow me and don't get shot, this is a quick op and our only mission is kill the Lone Wanderer."

I saw everyone completely stop what they were doing, staring, some looked almost angry, "Yes, yes, I understand, it sounds stupid right? A highly trained squad hunting one man... Although, I've read reports on this man and I tell you, he's more powerful than I'd guess all of us. His armor is so resistant it hardly even has a scratch and his weapons..." I shook my head, "He'll take us out I'd be guessing, although, our best chance is to try and wait till he's distracted by our 'diversion' and then take him out."

I smiled, "Although, as some of you have suggested," I looked at Dakayev, "Taking out his head won't be that easy, his armor is so thick that it can take a missle and still be almost in perfect condition. Don't forget that, he's more powerful than you'd think... Although, if we can hit him enough, we can take him out, don't worry." I stopped and paused for breath, "I was serious about the suicide part as well, don't screw up now or you won't have another chance TO screw up..."

I sighed and quickly said, "Now, if you've forgotten anything, hurry up and go get it, meet me at the front gate in 5 minutes, stat, now hurry up please!" I moved past everyone, but stopped and turned, "Oh and by the way Dakayev? If you would so kindly play our National Anthem when we're fighting that would please me a lot." I turned again and started my way through the hallways, very quickly making my way out of the building, I started moving towards the gate.

(OOC: I'm giving you chances to talk amongst yourselves! )

Ashley was still. Unmoving after hearng what the Captain had said. The words echoed around her head and the closed her eyes. The Lone Wanderer... Six, admittedly highly trained, soldiers after the Lone Wanderer. He had taken out a whole Enclave base on his own without a scratch and the Captain Expected an assault on the Citadel will rid the earth of him?

This is crazy... She thought as she got to her feet slowly, feeling numb. May aswell put my own gun to my head.


(OOC: Sorry bout short post, just my luck that things get going again when I'm going to bed. [censored] you timezones! Saying that i'm not really in my own timezone... Going to be bed at 6am isn't really normal GMT is it? )

OOC: Hey, the short post is fine, and I don't mind... Lol, good idea, bed at 6...

Andrew stopped shooting, turned to Knight and Henry, and said, "So what's your stories? I figure that if we're going to be in a team we should know a little more about eachother." He then stood where he was and waited for an answer.

Orson relaxed from his tense posture as the Captain began talking. He carefully ignored the goings on of his comrades, instead focusing on the Captain's face. He kept his thoughts to himself, but inside was relishing the opportunity to test his skills out on the Lone Wanderer. It had been a while since he had had a real adrenaline pumping challenge, and he was sure the Lone Wanderer wouldn't fail to meet his expectations. Even if he had to share the kill with the rest of the people in the room, he was sure it would still be exhilarating.

Orson lived for challenge, for killing, for accomplishing the mission. It was all he had left in him. He moved over to a nearby wall and leaned against it, watching everyone. He was simply waiting for new orders. He had no reasons to talk just yet.

OOC: Ugh, another short post, but I need to go to work now. Sorry about not keeping up, though I'm not sure what I would have done in any case. But I'm here regardless.

OOC: Guys, I just wanted to say... I'm honored to be RP'ing with you all, your all nice people who understand the way to bring life to a story, I think you guys have saved me from being pretty sad and annoyed... So thanks, a lot, I hope that this will become a great RP to remember... It's a hope guys.

OOC: This RP is a living monument to what this thread is about. There is no need to thank us, we thank you for giving a good idea on how to RP. Lets keep it up.


Dakayev then looked at his pouch and grabbed another holotape and adjusted the volume to highest and jumped on his seat

" FOR MOTHER RUSSIA!!!!!!!! The Lone Wanderer will die and have his head as a tribute to the motherland!!!!!!!"

Dakayev then began to sing the lyrics

Если на Отчизну нагрянет беда, Позовёт солдата труба. Армия моя, ты на страже всегда! Ты - моя любовь и судьба!

Припев:
Обыкновенная, судьба нелёгкая военная. Любовь суровая, но верная.
Готовы мы на ратный труд.
Мы все испытаны ни раз, ни два боями-маршами.
Мы от солдата и до маршала - одна семья!
Наш Октябрь с нами в походном строю!
С нами песни красных бойцов,
Первый день войны, и победный салют, И судьба погибших отцов...

Припев.

Мчатся наши годы, Но жизнь молода!
И поёт как прежде труба.
Армия моя, ты на страже всегда!
Ты - моя любовь и судьба!

( This translation is from the song My red army, not the anthem)

Припев.


He grabbed a half empty vodka bottle from the captains desk and began to drink it.


OOC:This is the anthem for those of you who didn't know:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91kdwxFsthI

And more music for Francois to learn. Bellisimo musica! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdMQEN8v49A&feature=channel_page

Henry heard Andrew's question and decided he would answer, "Well, there's not much to say, my father was a Paladin and my mother was scribe. I was just a toddler when the Brotherhood came out here. I grew up in the citadel and was going to be a scribe, however due to the lack of troops the Brotherhood urgently needed more and more Knights as the supermutant threat increased. I was urged by my father to follow in his footsteps, and so I did. I saw some action against the Enclave a few years back and the rest is history." Being born in the Brotherhood, his father told him he had to set an example to the wastelanders. Henry been doing that for a while now and he would keep on going, no matter what. Henry turned away from the others and instead started pounding on the initiates in hand to had combat. They made a perfect punching bag under the the excuse that he was "training" them. After all, no one really respected them until they completed their training.

Dakayev danced as the song got louder. He opened the captains intercom and patched the music through the entire base.

"Sing along you SOB's, theres no shame in singing!"

Dakayev repeated the song over and over.


"Если на Отчизну нагрянет беда, Позовёт солдата труба. Армия моя, ты на страже всегда! Ты - моя любовь и судьба!

Припев:
Обыкновенная, судьба нелёгкая военная. Любовь суровая, но верная.
Готовы мы на ратный труд.
Мы все испытаны ни раз, ни два боями-маршами.
Мы от солдата и до маршала - одна семья!
Наш Октябрь с нами в походном строю!
С нами песни красных бойцов,

Припев.

Мчатся наши годы, Но жизнь молода!
И поёт как прежде труба.
Армия моя, ты на страже всегда!
Ты - моя любовь и судьба!

Припев."

I laughed as I heard the Anthem moving going throughout the Base, I laughed and shook my head, remembering the old days. I waited to see when our position would be given away at this rate... I grinned and looked up at the sky, thinking what it must've been like before the war. I looked at the ground, trying to remember the tales of the wonder and beauty of the World... I stopped and scowled, it would never be the same, but I knew that I'd have a couple of people behind me if I wanted to help restart the Soviet Union.

Dakayev for sure, he was proud of his lineage, as was I, but two men was never enough... I wondered and wondered, still seeing no people appear at the gate yet, I grinned and waited, they still had a little bit of time. I stared into the nothingness that was the Wastes for a moment before I sat down and rested my head against the wall. I closed my eyes and wondered why everything had come to this, to the destruction of the World... Did we save ourselves or destroy ourselves?

(OOC: The first big battle is coming up! I plan to see if I can at least start it today people...)

Dakayev then laughed, jumped down from his seat, and walked through the door.

" Come on you bastards, Lenin isn't going to wait for you to fight, dammit, lets go to war!"


Dakayev ran down the hall, lugging his Gladius rifle on his back. He came across a large mechanical door, spinning the handle and walking through as the sheets of steel unfolded neatly. He ran over next to captain Harris.

" Ready to kill some imperialistic scum , Captain!"

Dakayev grabbed his Vodka bottle he took from the desk and took a large gulp

" For mother Russia!"

He sang again

"Yesli na atchiznu nagryanyet bieda, pozaviot soldata truba. Armiya may?, ty na strazhe vsiegda! Ty - may? lyubov i sudyba!

Chorus:

Obyknaviennaya, sudba niliogkaya vayennaya.
Lyubov surovaya, no vyernaya. Gatovy my na ratnyi trud.
My vse, my vse ispytany ni raz, ni dva bayami-marshami.
My at soldata i da marshala - adna simya!

Nash oktyabr s nami v pakhodnom strayu!
S nami pyesni krasnykh baytsov, perbyi dyen, vayny, i pabyednyi salyut, I sudba pogibshikh atsov...

Chorus.

Mchatsya nashi gody, No zhizn moloda!
I pay?t kak prezhde truba.
Armiya may?, ty na strazhe vsy?gda!
Ty - may? lyubov i sudba!"

Dakayev screamed in the direction of the Citadel

" Hear my war cry you bastards! I know you can hear me! Prepare to die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ashley winced as the music blared through the base then rolled her eyes again. He'd better not play that all the way there. She thought to herself as she pushed open the captains door and walked through the corridors as other soliders and staff hurried around, getting their equipment. She sighed and looked around. This could be the last time she saw this place. Not that that usually mattered being nomadic, but this time... This time was different. This time she knew that there was a chance that she wouldn't see any place again.

She sighed and opened the door into the outside world. As she walked towards the gate she drew her revolver, snapping forward the barral of the gun and holding it back as she pushed the bullets into the chambers She hit it against her leg, pushing the barrel back in place and then holstered the pistol as she neared the gate. She saw the Captain, he looked upset or in thought at least. She decided not ask his thought but instead looked at his hand. "How's your hand Captain?" She said, smiling as the leaned on the wall next to him.

I looked at Dakayev, then Ashley, two sides of very different worlds... I looked at Ashley and gave a light smile, "Oh, don't worry about my hand, it's not going to stop me too easily," I let my expression fall though, as I looked back down at the ground. I sighed, then I looked back up at Ashley, "Don't go near the front lines, I've seen that look before, we're going to need you Ashley. Trust me, there will be a future for at least one person in this group... And that will be you."

Her face changed, I didn't smile, or change my expression, I just looked over to Dakayev, who hadn't heard me, "Dakayev, of course, why wouldn't I be ready? I was the one who knew exactly how long until we attacked and I know exactly what we're going to do, don't worry." I stopped smiling, and got off the wall, I sighed. I moved away from the others, not listening to the warcry of Dakayev, not listening to the pvssyr of the people running around, I ended up staring into the sky in the one place where no one was running around.

"The world is peaceful at the worst times..." I muttered, I sighed and sat down, closing my eyes I started humming a song from my past, nothing no one would know...

Ashley watched the Captain for a while, she had never seen him like this before. It scared her a little if she was honest with her self. Eventually she decided to see what was on his mind. Couldn't hurt to ask. She walked up to the captain and kneeled down beside him. She was silent for a moment, not wanting to interrupt his humming. She didn't recognise the tune but she liked it anyway.

"Captain...?"She said eventually. "What's on your mind? And about before... About the frontlines. If I'm not up there with you guys... Who is gonna be there to patch you guys up?" She smiled a little. "I mean... Maybe not Dakayev. He can withstand a nuke without being shifted by the sounds of it." She joked then looked at Captain Harris again. "Don't worry sir, I'm a grown up girl now. Not the girl I once was." She put a hand on his shoulder.

((Wow. Very few Brotherhood posts))

Dakayev watched as the BOS sentries in the distance pvssyd about the upcoming conflict.



" Can I do the honors of first shot , Captain?"

Dakayev then lifted his rifle and grinned.

I half-smiled, but I let it fade, I finished my humming and I looked at Ashley, "You really want to know why? Why when I told you those things I meant them?" She nodded slightly, "Because you remind me of the one person that ever mattered to me in my life. I've read stories of things like this happening, but I never thought it would happen to me. My story may be bloody, full of death and hatred to the enemy, but sometimes theirs a part of you that you never really show..."

I sighed, "It's your choice Ashley, I'm not anyone you'd think I am, no one knows who I really am... But your the closest person at the moment I'd say, the last person to know..." I trailed off and I just looked at the ground. I was back to my past again, wondering, feeling young and wondering what to do. I looked back at Ashley, "Life is never what you expect of it, sometimes, you find something you never expected to find in the eyes of someone else, even if you never thought it."

I lightly smiled, I started humming the tune again, I looked up at the sky and let out a couple of words, "Here I stand... Helpless and left for dead..." I stopped, wondering, thinking, it seemed that was all I could do these days. I sighed and said, half to myself, half to Ashley, "I don't expect to live much longer, I don't want to live much longer, I've done things I wish I'd never even thought of... A man chooses, a slave obeys, I'm a slave." I pulled my rifle off my back.

I loaded a single round into it, then I put it on my lap, I started humming again.

(OOC: Good idea... Enough stalling, time to start moving while we can. I'll wait for someone elses post before I decide to jump into the fray...)

(OOC Yeah unfortunately there isn't too much going on at the citadel, but we should be talking amongst ourselves so we can develop our characters.)

IC

I moved up to the courtyard and watched as the men practiced and pvssyd amongst themselves. I was proud to have these soldiers as apart of my team. I walked over and decided to talk to them about anything.

"How is the practice coming along fellers?" I asked.

OOC: Ok, on to the battle that is so anxiously awaited by many, sorry to anyone who's not on...

IC:

I stood up, continuing my humming, I walked to the gate and pressed a button, the rattling of the metal scratching against the ground moved. I walked outside and started walking towards the Citadel, no more waiting, the time had come, I heard many footsteps behind and around me, as the main force started moving, I hoped that they'd provide a decent distraction. I heard footsteps following me, I could've guessed who they were, but I didn't really care anymore.

Today was the day that the war changed.

Dakayev saw that Haris was opening the doors. He saw him walk on and followed along.

" Hey Captain, can I take the first shot?"


Dakayev looked through his visors as the sentries began to pop out smokes. That was their last smoke for sure, Dakayev assured himself.


He began to play his holotape again

"Yesli na atchiznu nagryanyet bieda, pozaviot soldata truba. Armiya may?, ty na strazhe vsiegda! Ty - may? lyubov i sudyba!

Chorus:

Obyknaviennaya, sudba niliogkaya vayennaya.

Chorus.

I pay?t kak prezhde truba.
Armiya may?, ty na strazhe vsy?gda!
Ty - may? lyubov i sudba!"

Dakayev yelled again

" Sing along you lazy bastards!"

I looked at Dakayev and I gave a small grin to myself, during the middle of the song I yelled to him, "Take the first shot! Take out those Sentries before they realise we're right here at this spot!" I kept my gun at my side though, I wanted to save that bullet. I sung the final words of the song as it came by... "Ty - may? lyubov i sudba!" I laughed at myself, but I felt as though my bloodlust had changed, from the killing of just wanting to... To killing the only one that mattered.

I scowled as I thought of everything, what I'd been trying to say, trying to do for the whole time... I looked up at the walls of the Citadel, getting closer and closer. I brought up a small radio I had, "Attack, now, blow the walls in 3 minutes, this has to go completely according to our plan, do it, NOW!"

Dakayev continued singing.


HE aimed his Gladius Sniper as it found its cross-hairs between the sentries head.

Taking aim, he licked his lips once and fired three precision shots across the roof of the citadel, popping two heads and one open chest.


" Attack you dogs!"


"Yesli na atchiznu nagryanyet bieda, pozaviot soldata truba. Armiya may?, ty na strazhe vsiegda! Ty - may? lyubov i sudyba!

Chorus:

He kept on singing as he took aim with his rifle and continued to tear apart the tower sentries while the crowd of troops ran towards the citadel.
