Sarah stood besides eli, listening to him, when he was done she responded, "you are the hand that guides my hammer, sir" she said with a submissive tone, in her usual cryptic riddles, "throughout history leaders have had backers from the shadows, i am your backer" she said slightly bowing out to carols place.
Sarah walked into carols place and grabbed two arm braces that she had stored in a footlocker, she attached them to her arms and let her longcoats sleeves cover them up, she swung her arms and two blades jutted out of her sleeves, these were her favourite weapons, she used them to scare everyone she came into contact with, she imagined herself staring down a smoothskin in megaton, unleashing her two blades and carving them down to a pile of bone and skin fragments, as her blades retracted, sarah heard eli start to adress the troops, she listened to what he had to say, when he was finished she walked outside of carols place, just as thomas was entering underworld, thomas, or as most of the people called him, The Elder One, had returned from a private mission for eli, to the republic of dave. She listened to what he had to say, regarding ferals, although they were the rason she was a ghoul, she harboured very little resentment towards them, they were mindless killing machines, doomed to walk the face of the earth forever with no purpose, she ponderd what it would be like to live the life of a Feral, she quickly snapped out of this when thomas said he planned to stay behind from the attack, she thought about what he had said, if he could tame ferals, they would become nigh unstoppable.
As thomas and eli continued to talk, sarah noticed two ghouls carrying the podium she had requested transfered from the other wing of the museum of history, she requested it placed i the centre of the main corridor on the second floor, so eli or herself could marshall the troops, as they look up in amazement, the podium stood high, looking down on the lower level, she smiled, she went into the back room and spied something that had missed her eye before, a green flag with an odd symbol on it, she grabbed it and thought to herself, 'this could be the symbol of the revolt' as she did, her eyes widened she walked out to the podium, and drapped it over, so the others could see it, she looked down at the rest of the resistance, she noticed that things were starting to wind down.
The new recruits had just finished their training with charon, and were returning their weapons to tulips armoury, as it was renamed earlier in the day, the mecs had just finished the upgrade on cerberus, he floated lopsidedly towards the fortified entrance to underworld, his large gatling laser almost scraping against the ground, the mecs were going to give his thrusters a boost tomorrow, but for now he just looked silly, cerberus floating in front of the doors drew her attention to them, they were now surrounded by concrete walls, funneling to a small choke point that only one invader would be able to get through, at a time.
Sarah stepped down from the podium and turned left, entering the 9th circle tavern at the same time that charon did, she looked at him and mused as he started to walk behind the bar.
"So, Charon, how are the new recruits?" she enquired
"They are Complete Maggots..." he said
"But" he sighed, "with some work they could make fine soldiers" he said making a concession
"Good" sarah replied
"yea whatever, now are you gonna buy something or not?" charon growled
"Not" sarah said with a smirk.
She stood behind the young ghoul who was still taping away at the keyboard, she looked on as letters continued to fill the screen, she turned around and looked at the few soldiers that were standing besides Eli, he spoke with confidence
"Tonight we attack megaton, you are my elite, you shall lead the attack!" he said looking at all of us, he walked out to the newly constructed podium and adresed the troops. with sarah and some other elites standing beside him, looking down at the troops.
"Fellow ghouls, we attack tonight, soon megaton will be a distant memory scorched in the back of the smoothskins minds!" he said starting off lightly and leading to a bellow, all of the ghouls cheered him on, as they went to grab their chosen weapons and armour from tulips armoury.
Sandra followed close behind the sprinting eli, as they raced through the wasteland, she looked back at the 35 or so ghouls sprinting behind them, all with guns and armour, lightly clanking in the midnght fog, of the capitol wasteland.
