OOC: Reaper, can you fill the post you just made with something? I hate it when there are non story inclusive posts. sorry haha.

"I guess the real question is... do we really have a choice?" Max said speaking on behalf of the group... "It is the right decision to make though, as we will only get out alive if we work together... We are quite unarmed at the minute but I need to find my sister, Sarah. I think she is in the canteen. Will you help me find her?" Max asked Caine expecting him to say that if they wanted to live then they would go his way and not Max's...

Isaac woke to the sounds of gunfire and screams. The initial explosion hadn't lifted him from his slumber, so he managed to miss the beginning of the attack.

"What the hell was that?" he thought aloud, reaching for his wooden baseball bat.

He put on his jumpsuit and slowly opened his rooms door, and then peeked out. What he saw, total chaos. People screaming in pain, that was what plagued him the most. He couldn't stand the sounds of a human scream in pain.

Suddenly, his thought of disgust from the screams was interrupted by a stinging feeling jolting on top of his head. Isaac looked up to see the raider who had just made a massive mistake. The raider swung his weapon again, but Isaac was ready this time. He grabbed the raiders weapon during mid-swing, and hit the scrawny man with his bat straight across the face. The raider fell to the ground with a 'thump'. Isaac raised his bat and swung down with all of his weight. CRACK!

Isaac closed his eyes initially, so when he heard the crack, Isaac wasn't sure whether it was the bat that had cracked, or the raiders head. He quickly opened his eyes to see blood and brain matter all over the floor and his bat. Isaac gagged and released his food from just hours ago all over the now deceased body of the raider.

He then heard footsteps, so he hid behind a wall bat in hand, and waited for the steps to reach him.

When they did he came out of hiding, raised his bat. It was Max, Steven and a few others who's names had escaped him.

Isaac lowered his bat just after registering their faces in his mind. "I am sorry comrades, I thought you all were raiders!" he paused for a second to observe them. "What the hell is going on? Why are all these raiders here? I'll let you tell me while I follow you all if that is alright?"

Caine beat down the reflex to shoot off a snarky reply, deciding he'd play it the groups way until he could break off and do what he wanted. "Yeah, whatever. You find who you need to find, and I'll be putting baseball sized holes in people while your doin' it." Caine then took point in front of the group, his massive .223 revolver out in front of him. He started walking toward the cafeteria, not bothering to check if the group was following him. He wasn't sure why he agreed to assist them while they searched for someone Caine hadn't exactly met before, but he chalked it up to the fact that the cafeteria would be relatively easy to lock down and protect himself against the ever-growing invading force.

Spotting a wild older man with a baseball bat that hadn't seen him, Caine raised his weapon and pressed it against the back of the mans head. "Yeah, yeah. Likely story. Your probably one of them, just found yourself some Vault 110 duds and put them on to blend in.

"No sir, please. I am an engineer in this vault! I don't know how you haven't seen me around before! If I were with them, why would I have killed one of my own" said Isaac with a small hint of fear in him. He showed them his bloody baseball bat and then pointed to the ground where the dead man was lying. He turned around to look at who was holding the gun to him, Isaac then raised his voice.

"Get that [censored] gun out of my [censored] face!" shouted Isaac in his shrill voice, which still had a hint of his Nigerian decent in it.

Steven was confused. Issac joined the group out of the blue, and Caine was helping them. That selfish bastard wouldn't help us unless he wanted something... He wasn't going to call out Caine just yet, but his grip tightened on the pistol. Jessica grabbed him arm. "St..Steven?" She was stuttering. That wasn't a good sign.

"What is it?" Steven replied, not masking his worry.

"What are we going to do once we're out of the Vault?"

"I umm.....I don't know. Probably find a place to settle down and raise a family." Steven said quietly. Jessica was smiling now, so he felt a bit better. Issac raised his voice. "Shut up Issac! It's bad enough something bad is going down, and you calling attention to us isn't helping at all. Caine, put your damn gun down, I work with this guy."

"Oh, Isaac... you made me jump! It is really good to see that you are a live and well... Caine, put the gun down..." Max said greeting him with a worried smile... "I'm sorry there is not much I can say right now at this time. We have to lay low and be really quiet. We are going to make it out of here alive so stick with us as we have a better chance of survival if we work together." Max continued as they were walking, "...but I need to find my sister. We are trying the canteen first, it isn't far...

As the group got near the canteen Max signalled everyone to slow down while he took a peek around the corner... The canteen had a fair few raiders in and they were surrounding a group of Vault dwellers, bullying, beating and generally laughing at their expensive, but there were so many of them... Suddenly Max saw Sarah in the corner sat on the floor, battered and bruised with her clothes in shreds... Max felt so helpless... Max didn't seem to think that they would stand a chance of saving her...

"We need a plan" Max said... Caine took the initiative...

Caine nearly squeezed the trigger before bursting out laughing. He continued to scan the corridors for potential threats, still chuckling a little at the middle-aged mans reaction. He entered the cafeteria a few moments later, spotting a crapload raiders stuffing their faces over at the salad bar and beating other vault dwellers, the sight reminiscent of rabid wolves devouring a gazelle in old National Geographic's Caine had read before. He took cover behind one side of the doorway, motioning for Steven, seemingly the only other man in the group with a weapon, to cover the other side. "A bunch of them eating, we could kill them now easily." he said anxious to murder the group of starving savages. Caine obviously didn't care about the rest of the raiders focused on beating the other vault dwellers, he was simply intent in racking up more easy kills.

Steven slid over to Caine. "Agreed. I'll cover you, take the two on the left, I'll take the two on the right. Stay in cover, and shoot any raiders that move! Screw up, I might blow a fuse." He said. He nodded to Caine then raised up a bit, shooting the two left in the back while Caine shot the other two.

Isaac jolted at the unexpected gunshots. His ears began ringing as he was observing the current situation.

He still couldn't believe what was unfolding, and it was just growing more and more intense.

Caine yawned, thoroughly bored before sprinting into the cafeteria and kicking over a nearby table. The noise had drawn the attention of every raider in the room, and soon the only thing that could heard was rapid gunfire. The table was perforated within moments of Caine kicking it over, so he quickly jumped over to a counter that would provide more sufficient cover. Caine then shoved his hand-cannon over the counter and began blind-firing into the cluster of raiders, hitting one several times and turning his torso into a fine red pulp.

Realizing he had a limited amount of ammunition, Caine realized this wasn't an efficient means of taking them out. He quickly discarded the 5 shell casings in the revolvers cylinder and pulled a rapid loader out of his pocket, yelling out to Steven as he did this. "Hey tough guy, make yourself useful and draw their fire so I can get some kills!"

((OOC:Omg so much to read...))

James kept running to Lisa room. AS he rounded a corner two raiders spotted him and started chasing him. He ran down the corridor as fast as possible, before noticing a vault citizen who was looking at the end of a rifle. They were position so that they both looked at seperate walls and not noticing James. The man fired a shot off but James lunged at the citizen, both dodging the bullet. The raiders behind James cuaght up to him and fired off multiple rounds off their riflesat James's general direction, but only hit exposed pipes on the wall, which exploded killing the raider and creating a dead end for the other raiders. James got up and walked to the fires. The raiders rifle was launched in his direction, which he picked up. He found a pipe and handed it to the citizen. "Come on, let's go." James said to the man and they made their way towards Lisa's room.

Steven wasn't impressed by Caine's threat. He could shoot him here and be done with it, but that would probably turn what was left of the vault on him. Otherwise, he emptied his clip into two raiders while Caine reloaded, and they finished off the last few with ammo to spare.

As soon as the raiders were dead, Max ran straight in and ran up to Sarah, undoing her shackles from her hands and her feet and once he had finished he gave her a big hug... "Oh Max... I knew you would come for me... That's what kept me so strong... Thank you... thank you..." Sarah seemed so happy, but started to cry. It brought a tear to Max's eye too... Then Max whispered to her kissing her head as they hugged "Don't worry... you are safe now..."

While Max was hugging Sarah, the other's were undoing the Vault Dwellers shackles...

The team looted all the weapons, bottle caps and anything of use off the raiders bodies...

They were now a strong formidable group that stood a very good chance of getting out alive...

Caine sat down on the overturned table he briefly used as cover in the speedy firefight, popping a cigarette in his mouth and lighting it up. After taking a few drags and noticed a raider still twitching and shot him in the chest.

"So Max, I'm assuming you have some sort of plan to get out of here, you being the plan-making type and all." he said while taking another drag.

"Oh, and if your Sarah, your welcome. I realize I'm probably your hero now but I'm not accepting any groupies right now. Please leave your application and bra size with my secretary." Caine couldn't help but laugh at his own joke, flicking the cigarette butt at Steven and walking over to Max's sister.

Upon the Raiders deaths, Isaac ran over, picked up a nambu handgun and three magazines, which he placed in his pockets. He also took a combat knife from a dead body. Now Isaac was a force to reckon with. His weapons and physical ability combined with his intellect made Isaac a valuable player in the group.

After gathering weapons he placed the nambu in his pocket, placed the knife in a holster he had found, and placed it on his hip. Isaac then began unshackling the now relived people.

James made it to Lisa's room. He and the man entered. Empty. James scanned the room. "No sign of forced entry, she's probably alright. Maybe even still here." He thought. Noticing that he bathroom door was closed, he walked to it and forced it open. Lisa was inside, cowering in the corner. "It's alright Lisa, everything's going to be fine, but we have to go.

"Alright, whatever you say." Lisa responded in a scared hushed tone.

"Our best bet is to go to the canteen to search for other survivors, then head for the exit." james said. James looked at the man and he nodded.

"By the way, my name is Brizo."

"They then exchanged weapons. "You go first Brizo, then me and Lisa will be behind you." James loked at Lisa. "Stay infront of me at all times." They then made their way to the canteen, making it without trouble. James and Brizo exchanged weapons.

James, Lisa and Brizo entered the group. James saw Caine and nudged Lisa behind him. "What the [censored] is that murderer doing here? He can't be trusted."

((OOC: The brizo guy isn't going to be one of my characters i just wanted to give a name to the man.))

Steven grabbed the cigarette butt out of the air. That was it. He insulted Max. Insulted Sarah. Insulted Steven. "[censored] you Caine. I'm tired of dealing with your [censored]." He put the Beretta to the back of Caine's head. "Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you right now." The hammer cocked as the trigger was half-pulled.

Caine dropped down and landed on his back, his .223 trained on Steven's mug. He expected Steven to fall for his jab, and he wanted to put a bullet in guys dome. He remained completely still and began squeezing the trigger ever-so-softly, his demeanor still relatively calm considering he was a trigger pull away from losing his good looks a few moments earlier.

Steven kept his bead on Caine, dropping to him, putting the pistol under his chin, behind Caine's revolver. "Give me one more chance and reason to blow your brains out like Kyle, of cut your throat like Jimmy, and I'll cool your attitude down with lead." He stood up and rejoined the group, half expecting Caine to do something.

Isaac raised his Nambu at first Steven, out of pure instinct, but then lowered it towards Caine. He didn't really know Caine, but so far he didn't like him one bit, and letting out a full magazine on him would be well worth it.

Isaac was greatly confused and didn't know whether he should pull the trigger, or just lower his gun.

Caine didn't flinch even as he felt the cold barrel pressed under his chin. The moment Steven backed off Caine knew he didn't have what it took to be a killer like him. He kept his revolver trained on the cowards head and began closing the space between them. His gun was bigger then Steven's, and he damn well knew it'd take on shot anywhere on his body to do a fatal amount of damaged. "You think your gonna get away with that [censored]? One of us isn't walking away from this." he said, his finger trained on the trigger, fully ready for a Old West shoot off with the chump.

Richard and Judith followed closely the others as they walked through the Vault. After meeting up with Issac and Caine, the group entered the canteen and beat the Raiders in a vicious firefight. After the fighting concluded and the Vault Dwellers were freed, Richard found a 10mm pistol and 32 rounds, some bottlecaps, and a Combat Knife. Judith got bottlecaps, a Lead Pipe, and another 10 mm pistol. They decided to spilt the ammo. As the duo checked out their new weapons, they noticed Steven pull out a Beretta on Caine. Richard and Judith decided to stay out of it and see how it played out.

"EVERYONE STOP! NOW!" Max shouted into the crowd of gun's pointing in all different directions... "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Now if we are going to make it out of here alive we have to work together! TOGETHER! Got it? Caine! Behave, and as for you Steven, calm down. I know you are angry, but we are all on the same boat. Don't stoop to his level ok? You are better than that..." Max said crouching infront of Steven. Max got back up...

"Ok, everyone listen up. Richard and Judith have developed a Pip-Boy application that shows a full 3D map of the vault and the ventilation shafts. With their help, we can navigate our way through the ventilation shafts and hopefully come out at the the Vault Entrance." Max started pacing up and down while he spoke.

"Now I know no one in Vault 110 knows how to activate the door, but between Steven, Isaac and I, we will be able to get it open. Once we get outside the Vault we will find shelter and set up camp. All we know is that we cannot stay here. Yes we are safe for now, but there are too many of them for us to handle."

Max quickly turned to James and said, "It's great to see you alive and well." with a smile, and then finished off by saying "So if we stick together, and we all look out for each other, we should make it out alive. The war is out there, not between eachother. Now does anyone have any questions?"

Caine continued to aim his revolver at Steven a few moments after Max's speech, eventually lowering it and relaxing. His mood seemed to shift instantly, back to his cocky, over-confident self. He smirked at Steven and turned to Max, deciding he'd correct his little defusing speech. "Actually, once we get out of here I'm done with you chumps. This is a means to an end, not an everlasting alliance between the wolf and the sheep." Caine then lit up another cigarette and blew a smoke ring in Steven's direction, impatiently waiting for information on their next move.
