"I have friends whith the Bortherhood of Steel, they may give us access to their computers," Ermine though hard for a second, "and I can train afew of your men with their power armor and weapons, if we can get them to learn and then teach everyone, we'll do this tommorow. Tonight we will relax. Tommorow though, tommorow we will assemble an army, I have a 'shipment' of guns and such that Carl will be getting tommorow, we are making our presence aware to this new 'president' Eden, I will kill him, we will kill him."
this is a smart man, I think he can be trusted

after eden we will kill you inside your little control room p bro! you can no longer control people!

... This man seems to know exactly what we need .. Perhaps they are not ALL savages.

Vasili spoke to his men in mixed Russian and Italian, inquiring as to whether this man should be trusted.
For the moment yes, but they should all be wary.

Frank spoke for the first time in days, " We need to train some civilians to increase their chance of survival, and, the more civilians that can fight, the less people we have to protect. "
Vito spoke in his deep haughty voice, " I also need, a large weapon, some parts for repairs, and possibly some explosives.

( OOC: Should i post some mini " Character sheets " for my named characters? )

Ermine looked at the men, pvssyring in mixed languages. "It is quite obvious that you don't trust me, thats not a problem, you may hold a gun to my head throughout all ofthis and you will still get what you want, assuming the Enclave is destroyed or wounded." The men stopped pvssyring and stared at eachother, "And, I speak some Ittallian, try Chinese, no one herespeaks it some people think it doesnt even exist."
a true friend shows kindness, true kindness is within a friend

The group just brushed this off.
" So, what are we doing tonight? I would like to get a place for my group to stay, maybe a building for a few of us. "

"unfortunately not enough room in these inns for all of your men, Carl's truck has a rather large container on it, you could put anyone who volunteers in it with me. We need someone to man the guns wegot packed inthere, we got a fifty cal and a few monted miniguns, unfortunately they cant be moved off of the flatbed"

getting off soon

Enclave Rally Point, East of Bleak Rock

The transport birds lowered and the troops bailed out quickly. The soldiers followed the plan well, they spread across the LZ and formed a perimeter. The forward elements had already started heading west in small squads to Bleak Rock. The Captain, high up in a gunship allowed himself to smile, just a little. These wastelanders would learn the might of the United States soon enough.

Raven Rock, Enclave Base

The hatches on the concrete bunkers slid open, the gunners inside quickly armed the automated howitzers. Removing the tampions and arming the systems the artillerymen quickly departed to safe zones before the auto-loaders switched into gear. With machinelike precision and speed. The first volley was loaded and fired within seconds. Bleak Rock was in for a wake up call?

after reading that im feeling a little bit.....pointless, i didnt uber THAT much with the flatbed's stuff did I?

(OCC: Lolz, thats what happens when you give out your base co-ordinates on a PUBLIC frequency, I was expecting them to Nuke you. xD)

The Group slowly made their way across the Capital Wasteland, continualy moving easy.
Gunshots teared into the slient night and ended with a high pitch help.
"Thats the 15th one in less than a day, damn mutated bears" The hired guards had never even seen a Yai Gui before.
"Indeed, we must be near their den or something."

Each of the carcusses had been scraqed up each time, food was scarce and everything that looked edible was kept.

Lights ploomed into the night sky in the distance, reflecting of small clouds and towers of smoke.
Ken, the most senior Raider, nudged Cain.
"Hey big man, I'll bet you my front teeth thats a Raider camp" he smiled and chuckled.
"We should check it out."

A Ranger stepped forwards.
"They will no doubtedly have slaves, we should move in and irradicate them." The Ranger spoke with a harsh tone.
"Keepers of slaves deserve only death!"

A final voice entered the conversation, that of Rosie.
"We can better solve our issues through trade, not violence." She called for The Group to stop and settle were they where.
"This is your pitch for now, spread out and let the Brahmin feed, everyone be on full alert."

She stopped adressing the great crowd and turned back to the conversation.
"A small group of us shall go and try to trade with the people we encounter."
"Cain, Thomas and Clark" Her old friend the origanol Mutant and two other Mutants Thomas wielding a sledge hammer and Clark wielding a Shotgun.
"Ken, Tzchek and Sammy." The Senior Raider and two other Raiders, both armed with leather armour, Sammy with a Jackhammer and Tzchek with a FN FAL.
She finally pointed to the Rangers.
"Jericho, Flash and Liberty" All three wore thick combat armour, Jericho the leader of the Rangers carried a H&KG11, Flash carried a H&K P90 and Liberty carried a H&K CAWS.

The group argued amongst its self of a few minuits before it was silenced by Rosie, she had made her decision and they had to follow it.
Off they went their weapons drawn and their eyes peeled as they approached the great glowing crater.

Luckily before the attack had hit, Vasili's group had set out for the rock formation to the west of town.

Hearing the explosions behind them they quickly ran to the formation, finding a cave.

6 men went in and cleared it. They quickly rushed inside, settling down wherever there was room.

Vasili, Falcar, Timmy, Otieno, Victor, Frank, Carlo, and Vito stood outside, watching the flashing lights in the distance in silence.
We were just down there ..

" That could have been us ... " Timmy gulped.

Looking to his men, looking to the flashing lights, Vasili spoke, " We will have to stay here for a few days, if any danger comes closer to our position, we are out of here. We may get a chance to go in and scavenge. "

Victor and Timmy where on watch tonight, the rest camped just inside the mouth of the cave with a few other soldiers.

Vito sat with his head between his hands for several minutes, the whole cave in silence.
I shouldn't have followed this Russian bastard. We all should have just stayed up in the mountains, we were safe there. Had a nice, happy, well supplied life. Now ...

Everyone kept quiet about their similar thoughts of dissent.
Untill..

" Vasili, WHAT THE F*** IS THIS!!? You've led us alll the f***ing way out here, only to narrowly escape being bombed, and now we're hiding in some mother****ing cave. "
Frank stood there, stiff, panting.

Vasili got to his feet, giving Frank a steady, cold stare, literally bringing him to his knees, Frank sat down.

" I have noticed you all thinking. Likely about, how you shouldn't have come with me right? How we should have stayed in the mountains? "
Frank began to mumble.
" Here, in the wasteland, we can acquire more advanced technology, acquire more wealth, our group can grow and prosper. "

" Grow and prosper my a$$.. " Frank half whispered.

" After the attack stops, we will see who comes around, likely people will either flee from, or too the area. Afterwards, i intend to go to Dukov's place, Searching for wastelanders to join us along the way. In the mean time we stay here and train some civilians in combat. Anyone who cares to disagree, can leave now. "
Looking around to them all, Vasili nodded his head.
" Good. Frank, tell Victor to come on in, you're on watch for the next 2 days. "

Hearing Frank mumble outside, Vasili spoke to Victor, " Follow me. "

Once they reached the part of the cave where the civilians were, Vasili raised his voice so all could hear, " Get some rest, tomorrow all who want it have the oppurtunity to learn how to defend themselves, and each other. See you in the morning. "

"Sh*t!" the bombardment was spread large in numbers, but slow, well slow for speeding artillary. Ermine sprinted out of the container, people were still running, Carl had already left. He moved as fast as he could. He slid off the cliff, an expolion about ten feet from him, shrapnel tore through his arms. "Gah! [censored]!" Erine rollded to the ground and was only greeted by another explosion, tossing him into a shack wall. He stood off, trying to shake off the pain. He searched through everty house while still being bombarded, looking for civillians. Ermine heard screams in a nearby house, from children. He ran to the ouses door, taking more shrapnel to his leg, the door wasn't opening. He threw himself into the door, tearing it off the hinges. Ermine brought hmself back out, his arm was broken and his ankle was fractured, he saw many children in a corner with terro on their faces, Christine amoung them, "run.....as fast as you can, is anyone else in the house?" The kids shook their heads and ran out the door, Ermine lagged behind. Ermine saw a cave in the distance, only about twenty meters, they were going to make it out, barely. An artillary shell could be heard ans seen heading directly at the children, "MOVE! left or right! just move! go to that cave!" The kids scurrried as fast as they could, they were out of the town, and safe from the artillary, for now. Ermine limped into the cave, full of broken bones. He saw Vassilli and his men. "You f*cking cowards! Do you see these kids?! They're only children! God knows how many people are still in there! Look at me! I was lucky enough to avoid those damn things! And you just cower in here?" He injected a stimpak into his leg. "Damn lucky Carl made it out with his truck! Maybe if you can prove it to me that you're here to help then we'll let you in on what hes getting."

(Eat it! I refuse to letthe children or Carl to be killed!)

OCC: I hope so, I dont even think that number of people is sustainable...
And an automatic Plasma pistol? Good luck when It overheats and melts your hand...

The group of 10 reached the edge of the valley from which the light pierced the sky.
They moved slowly and quietly, they were less than a hundred meters from the edge of the crator when a beast appeared from out of the darkness.
The group stood, weapons in hand, no one shot a single bullet.
To fire would attract the attention of the people in the Camp below.
Thomas dived forward, his sledge hammer swinging down over his head, he swung it down on the Beasts head crushing it, the other two mutants dived on the beast crushing its throat with their bare hands.

Rosie simply nodded to the three Mutants and they walked the last of the small distance to the Crators edge.

A small sign hung from the door of a Huge Factory, "Evergreen Mill".
Raiders walked across Gangways and patrolled around rail transport carrages.
The amount of Raiders in the Area was increadable, unsustainable, unless they had a major food source near by it had to be some sort of gathering.
"Slaves!" One of the Rangers whispered harshly under his breath,
"Across the otherside of the Valley, in pens!"

"If it kicks off, under darkness we will be harder to shoot." Rosie saw a hole in the valley, she knew it must be the entrance... A bottleneck.

She stepped onto the rim of the Valley and began to climb down,
"Thomas, go back and order the entire camp moves forward, if this goes wrong I want everyone with a accurate gun on the rim of this Valley."
The rest of the 8 members of the Recon group beguin to decend the edge of the Valley, about half way down a Raider shouts to them pointing his gun in their direction.
Rosie turns on the spot and drops the rest of the way about 7 feet down a cliff.

"My name is Rosie, Matriach of St Joans Refugees." She makes a Charismatic and Sarcastic Bow.
"I wish to speak to someone in Charge of selling slaves."

The Raider looks baffled as to why a group of armed men and supermutants are sneaking into their camp when they wish to buy slaves...
"Well? Are you going to keep pointing that gun at a prospective customer or are you going to take me to your Salesman?"

does p bro realize he knocked down the count of the winders to like 20? when a scoiety is scatteredlike that, thats not a lot, at all

You broadcasted your co-ordinates on an OPEN FREQUENCY!
What did you expect to happen?

The moment my group realises that the Enclave have flying machines capable of firing nukes they are going into hiding!

However I have to say it is impressive that you took it like a decent Role-Player, most Role-Players would attempt to create unrealistic excuses for their entire Group surviving.

Vasili was enraged by Ermine's comment.
" Listen, these people put their LIVES in MY HANDS. My priority is to get them out. I have children under my charge also. "
Vito, sounding rather gruff, spoke in a calm, settling voice, " When the attack slows down, we will go in and evacuate survivors, alright? "

" We plan to get out of here as soon as possible and head for the nearest settlement. I don't really care what Carl is getting. "

"That's not going to cut it Vassilli! Most of your men have made it here! put someone lse in charge of the kids! You're not the only one here capable of caring for these people!" Ermine sighed, "here, take this, theres a safe on that small cliff, it has two sets of small blast power armor, specially designed by the Brotherhood of Steel for these kind of things, I'm too hurt to get them but if you look and listen, that artillary won't cease for a while, I suggest you get someone to it! Show some care for those besides your own!" He dropped the keyes and sat against a wall, fixing himself up.

( OOC: I plan to stay AWAY from the Enclave... Maybe later but for now i'm going to focus on actually LIVING. By the way if the Winders decide to not be [censored]s, as all, they can tag along with us. But they've gotta be nice, or be shot. AND they have to leav the Enclave the F*** alone. I gotta go have a shower really quickly. )

(not a problem since Carl will be comeing back long after the artillary, the Enclave are dead now, I guess recruiting will have to be less strict now)

" Fine, if you want me to show i care .. "
Vasili ran sprinting down towards th bombardment, as fast as he could.

" DAMNIT! " Falcar yelled, " I'll stay here, Otieno, Carlo, go for that armor, Frank, go after Vasili. Someone get this guy some food. "

( OOC: Ermine, are the kids with you? )

(all the ones i got from the building, yes)

"perhaps he isnt as selfish as i believed, perhas he doesnt believe he is superior" Ermine winced from the pain.

Timmy ran into the cave, coming out with a few civilians.
3 Females, A male with some knowledge of Medicine, and 2 children.

The male ran to help Ermine with his wounds.
As 2 females began to prepare some food, the other female tended to the children.
The children had brought out toys to share with the others, teddy bears, toy cars, etc.

Frank darted after Vasili, " WHAT ARE YOU, CRAZY?!!? "

" No .. I'm more sane than ever. " Vasili said in a calm level voice.
A strange look in his eyes, the scene before him reflecting in them, Vasili ran faster than he ever had before.

--------------------------------
Otieno and Carlo reached the armor, hastening to put it on, they made their way towards the ruins of Bleak Rock.
----------------------------------------

Falcar sat down beside Ermine, shaking his head slowly, " Crazy S.O.B. .... " Watching Vasili dart towards the ruins.

A radio man sat at a small counter scanning radio frequency's. At first he heard static but with a bit of tuneing he heard a voice. He yelled out " Commisar! Commisar! Quickly it sounds like a settlement. The Commisar replied " What there is still Americans in this Hell!" The radio man replied," They say they are looking for help and they also state the cordinates." The Commisar walked out of the tent and yelled " I want a recon party assembled in 10 minutes.

Vlad was selected to be the sniper of the group. They set of for Bleak Rock. Vlad didn't know what to expect. He has never saw any Americans.

Upon reaching Bleak Rock the place was a mess. The squad took cover by a rock and watched as artillery rained down destroying everything. The squad waited for any signs of life before advancing.

"He's not crazy, his humanity has returned to him. Let him do this, if he dies to save five, then let it happen" ERmine watched as the children played and forgot about what had haopened ony a few minutes ago. So innocent, they do not deserve such sorrow and pain in their lives
