Caine let out a loud yawn as he finally woke up, grabbing a ration ticket off a pile of them he kept in his secret stash, then putting on some jeans and a wife beater. He then strolled down to the cafeteria and flicked the ticket at the Mr. Handy serving the food, then grabbing a plate and some fresh pancakes, bacon, and eggs. Out of the corner of his eye he spotted Denise Chang's children eying his glorious stack of fapjacks. Caine simply glared at the children and picked up his plate, heading back to his room.

Ryan checked the clock. He must have dosed off again. 8:20.

breakfast sounds good...or maybe just a cup of friggen coffee.

He looked at himself in the mirror. His hair was hanging out at every angle, and he was starting to get a five o'clock shadow as a result of not shaving yet...He kinda liked it. a Med-x syringe was hanging out of his briast pocket on his lab coat.
Ryan checked the patients in the medical bay quickly, and hurried off to the canteen. He pulled out a ration ticket and fed it into the coffee machine. After getting his coffee, he saw Richard, Johnathan, and Paul all at one table. He headed over and sat down.
"Hello gentlemen." he said as he sat down, and rubbed his eyes a little.
"How is everyone this fine morning?"

Richard said, "Fine Ryan, and you?"

"Huh i'm fine but like I said before i'm kinda tired." Jonathan took another sip from his coffee. Needs more sugar, eh whatever it's good enough. Jonathan looked at his reflection on the metal table. He rubbed his hair to make it even more messy and closed his eyes. He then looked up again and squinted while sticking his tongue out as if to make them laugh.

"Eh i had a long one last night but i'll be fine." Ryan took a swig of his coffee.
as he put his cup down he said, "Had a little bit more company in the med bay than i expected. How was the party last night?"

Richard finished his cereal and said, "It was alright, I actually danced for once." He then said, "I've been trying to increase my Pip-Boy's memory so that it could hold the whole Vault database if I had to."

Ryan raised his eyebrow.
"You Richard? Dancing? Nawwwww" Ryan joked.
"He then tapped Richards Pipboy.
"Thats quite a feat your going for. I can't imagine those things have that much space to begin with."

Richard said, "It'll definitely be a challenge, but I think I'm getting closer. I just need some more people to help."

(OOC: You know how much I hate time zones...!)

IC:

I woke suddenly, Eleisha was laying next to me, still asleep, I chuckled while getting up. I walked over to my undersized cabinet, quickly rummaging through my few clothes, as soon as my hand layed upon my lab coat I quickly grabbed it and shoved it on. I stumbled over to my Terminal, I switched it on, typed in my very long password and started the work I was supposed to do. I finished it quickly, but it was low grade stuff, Eleisha still wasn't awake so I quickly popped my info onto a holo-disc, I then left it there, walking out.

I quickly made my way to the canteen, I was starving, after the night of eating nothing and being bored, stuff like that just builds up. I made it to the canteen perfectly on my estimated time, there were quite a few people eating, I chuckled, I quickly went up, got some breakfast and sat in the corner. The only person that ever really cared about me or even talked to me was Eleisha, typical, I quickly wolfed down the cereal, I took it over to a sink and quickly washed out the bowl.

I walked back to my table and sat down, I pulled out the small portable terminal that I'd named a "Laptop". I popped up the lid and powered it up, I skimmed through all my info, I chuckled and connected to the Vault Mainframe, I downloaded some more top level info, suprisingly I'd never been noticed doing this sort of stuff. Pretty funny. I connected to my personal terminal and downloaded my work onto the laptop, I always kept a hard copy like my holo-disc ready, I got up and started walking towards the labs.

NPC.
Name: Luke Sensus
Age: 16
Nationallity: American
Job: None
I walked to the Canteen and Ordered some Noodles and a Nuka Cola. I sat down bye myself and watched everything around me.
A seen a Teen-aged American boy at the next table sitting with a group of people. I wondered what made him so Popular. He wasnt
born in the Vault, I was but he is more popular then me.

This is what went down after I left the Canteen.

I seen that boy standing bye himself. He had a Cigarette, I walked over to him and said. "Your to young to smoke". He looked at
me. "So? You own a bar and your only 17" He said to me with a Cocky attitude. I said, "Im turning Eighteen next week". He tried to
punch me I dodged and knee him in the stomach. I pushed him to the ground and said "You can try and try little dude, But can never
beat me for I am Zereth!"

"Mmmh, not bad." Caine said after finishing his meal, putting on his leather jacket and getting his product from the stash. Say what you want about the guy, but he had a fantastic work ethic. He then lit up a fresh cig and left his room, starting toward his spot in the water purification zone.

"[censored] me...", he said after spotting an engineer working on something in his territory. Caine approached the man confidently and simply opened one side of his jacket, revealing a bottle of booze, some Megajet and a nudie mag. "'Ey friend. Pick your poison and [censored] off my spot, eh?".

Worked like a charm. The engineer picked the nudie mag and ran back to his quarters. Caine then posted up and waited for a few hours before Ronnie Mclain showed up. "[censored] Ronnie, your up early. Early junkie catches the good stuff right? Hahaha." Caine continued chuckling at his own joke before Ronnie did something unexpected.

The crazed fool pulled a razor out of his pocket, shaking fiercely as he did it. "A-Alright Caine gimme your stuff or I'll cutcha good! I'll cutcha real good!" he screamed. Caine glared at the junkie and remained relatively calm, not taking him seriously. "Well now you [censored] up didn't you? I'm not selling you a damn thing. I suggest you leave before I break your face open."

That little remark resulted in an expected attack by Ronnie who lunged forward desperately with all the speed a junkie could muster. Caine caught the mans arm between his elbow and his ribs, turning violently and snapping Ronnie's wrist with ease. The razor fell to the floor and Ronnie to his knees, begging for mercy now. Caine couldn't help but laugh, he didn't think the guy could get any more pathetic.

"P-Please I'm sorry Caine, I'm real sorry please just lemme get a fix!". Caine laughed even louder and said: "Oh yeah Ronnie... I got a fix for you. It's some really good stuff too, my man." With that, Caine swiftly grabbed the back of Ronnie's head, and slammed his knee into his face as hard as he could. Ronnie fell to the floor like a stack of bricks and remained disturbingly still, bleeding profusely from his nose and mouth.

Caine dug through the mans pockets, finding no ration tickets nor anything of value. He didn't bother to move the fool, he'd serve as a warning to any fiend desperate enough to try something stupid.

(OOC: Nice ThatOneNwah, sounds like the scene from Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man, where Harley (Mickey Rourke) does the same thing with a junkie holding a Desert Eagle)

Harley woke up lying in the Medical bay cot. He didn't move for a few minutes, but then poked his head up to see his arm. He could move his wrist and fist a bit, but it was very numb. He saw the new bandages, nice clean bloodless bandages. Looking around he saw the I.V, keeping his body drugged up. He just lay there, hoping he'd be able to get up soon, and get revenge with that damn electrical panel, but this time with a wrench, not his fist.

He then thought about his jacket, his Leather Harley jacket. He looked around to see it hanging on the I.V stand. He realized the doctors would have had to take it off to get to his arm. The end of the left sleeve was bloody, damn, he could clean it up pretty good with some leather friendly chemicals but it would take a while. He reached over to the I.V stand with his right arm and grabbed the jacket, and lay it next to him on the bed, still clinging to it with his right hand.

After a while of lying there, thinking, the drugs kicked in once again and he fell asleep.

OOC: ((Lol thanks, I may need to check that movie out.))

Caine started walking back to the cafeteria since no one wanted to buy when Ronnie's dumb ass was stinking up the place. As soon as Caine arrived he started scouting out potential customers and potential snitches, finding the ratio to his liking. He sat down near a teenager who'd purchased jet off him a couple times, but had since gotten his act together thanks to religion or rehab or some other such BS. "Hey Jimmy. Long time no see huh? Hey man I got some new product, made it myself from the usual stuff and a secret ingredient. I'm callin' it "Megajet". It'll get you twice as high for way, way longer." Caine then smirked and waited, afterall the stuff practically sold itself.

"I dunno Caine... That stuff practically ruined my life... I started getting really bad grades and I sold all my baseball gear just to get another high... It took me months to get back to normal." Jimmy tried to make it seem as if he wanted nothing to do with his old favorite poison, but Caine saw the desire in him. "C'mon Jimmy... I'll tell you what, since we're old pals I'm gonna let you have a free hit. If you still don't want any after that, I'll back off. Well?" Hook line and sinker. Caine and Jimmy then broke into the food storage room and locked the door behind them.

"Alright Jimmy, you know how to do it. Press the metal tube down and breath deeply.. Remember, the first ones free." Much to Caine's liking, Jimmy snatched the inhaler out of his hand and took a long hit off the stuff. That's all it took and Jimmy was forking out everything of value he had. New baseball gear he'd gotten last Christmas, his fathers transistor radio and even an antique pocket watch his grandfather gave him. All of that netted him the remainder of Caine's supply. Today was indeed a profitable day for the vaults most ambitious drug dealer.

One thing had popped into Caine's head as he was stashing his profits of the day back in his room, however. Because Jimmy hadn't been on the stuff in a while, the chances of him overdosing were spectacularly high. This could provide problems in the foreseeable future for the enterprising young man, so he decided to head to Jimmy's room after everything was squared away. There he was, convulsing on the floor with foam gushing from his mouth. Caine simply stood there for a few moments and pressed the emergency button, darting down the hallway shortly after and hiding behind a corner until the medical crew arrived.

James woke up suddenly and hit his head on his nightstand, knocking over the 1/3 full whiskey bottle. "Crap, why wasn't I in my bed?? I guess I was knocked out because of all the alcohol I drank..." James fumbled into his bathroom. "Ohhh, my head.... worst hangover yet..." James fumbled out of his room and made for the canteen. When he got there he went up to the food dispenser. He checked his pockets for rations. None. "[censored]!" Fumbling to a table he sat down and held his head.

Jonathan was finishing his meal when the emergency alarm sounded on his pip-boy. "[censored], I got to go see you guys later." He forgot Ashley was there when he said that. "Oh sorry Ash." He quickly ran to the location blinking on his pip-boy map. When he got there he could see Jimmy on the bed foaming from the mouth. Damn I thought he quit that [censored]. Jonathan quickly turned him over on the recovery position and picked him up. He ran as fast as he could and laid him on a cot. Jonathan did a dialysis to try and remove any substance that was in his system and it worked. He sat down in a chair, his heart was beating rapidly. He hooked Jimmy up to A breathing machine among other tthings and filled out the medical report. Jonathan looked at all the people in the med-bay. Damn there are lots of people here, this is going to be a long day.

Just as Johnathans Pip boy went off, so did Ryan's. They exchanged glances, then bolted up, saying quick goodbyes and appolagies for spilling varius items. Johnathan led the way into a room where a boy named Jimmy was Convulsing on the floor. John and Ryan did quick first aid to get him stable enough to move, and then darted him to the Med bay. Once there John (is it cool if i call u John?) laid him on the bed, and called for a dialsis to pump out his liver. Thankfully it worked.
Ryan lifted the bag of contents, regognizing the color instantly.
"Damn Jet! Where the hell did he get that [censored]?"
Ryan yelled as Johnathan began hooking him up to the oxygen machine. Ryan got out a dose of Mex-x and put it into Jimmy's IV and gave the boy half a dose, to stop the boy from hyperventalating. As a result, he quickly fell under, and his stats calmed down a little. His heart was still racing, but hopefully the med-x would slow that down soon.
Ryan realized he was holding his breath. He exchanged a glance with John, and exhaled.
"We got to find out whos dealing this [censored] John." Ryan said.
"This boy almost died today."

OOC: Yeah you could call me John

"Damn right! We need to stop this now!" Jonathan looked over at Jimmy and then back at Ryan. "Poor kid. So who are we going to ask about this? Theres Max, Nikolai, Sarah, Harley, and Richard among other people we can talk to about this. This guy needs to get punished for this!"

Ryan took a deep breath as he milled over what John had said. He then looked up at him and said,
"Everyone. We have to ask everyone....Starting with him." Ryan said as he nodded in Jimmy's direction.

"Well it's going to be awhile before he wakes up. Ill wait here for him to wake up you go ahead and ask other people." Jonathan took a seat. "Oh and bring me some coffee heres a ration ticket." Jonathan handed Ryan a ration ticket.

After eating breakfast, Richard left to go on the Vault mainframe computer. On his way there, his Pip-Boy alarm went off, causing him to run in the direction of the signal. On his way there, the Pip-Boy alarm turned off, making Richard go back to his original plans. Once he got to the main Vault computer, Richard noticed that someone had hacked into it and had copied information. Richard thought, "That's strange, maybe whoever did this can help me with my storage project. I just have to wait until the next time they access the mainframe."

Paul looked over the faces of the men, "I may have the answer," he said, "As I was just telling Max here, We just need him to go to church."

The alarm sounded throughout the vault. In the early years this sent panic into the hearts of the vault's inhabitants but nowadays it's barely heard by any. People choose not to hear it as it is purely an annoyance... Only a few important people responded to it such as the head specialists in their field such as engineering, mechanics, etc... and and the various doctors and emergency response teams. Apart from the loud alarm that engulfs every corridor of the Vault, the relevant members of staff that are required for the situation also get a personal Pip-Boy alarm. This allows the head's of their field to respond appropriately for different situations. This technology, and the update for the technology was developed by the Second Generation of Science Lab Technicians. There were so many problems occuring regularly within the vault that people had gotten used to the sirens. God forbid that something catastrophic happened, no one would ever see it coming...

"Right young man, time for you to go to school" Max said turning to Ashley. "Awwww but i'm really sick!" Ashley replied and started making a really bad coughing impression. "Ashleeeey... you know you don't have a choice let's go..." he got up and beckoned Ashley to follow him... "Come on you... As for everyone else, I will catch up with you later. I'm going to try and find out what the situation is with the Vault emergency alarm. No rest for the wicked." and with a faint smile and a salute to the masses, he walked out of the cafeteria holding Ashley's hand, some what dragging him to class..

After he had dropped Ashley off at his class with Mrs Tibbit, he ventured to the med lab to find out what had happened. His pip-boy alarm didn't go off, so it wasn't an engineering emergency. He would start there...

Once he arrived he walked in and took in his surroundings...

Richard got bored and decided to check out the alarm. He checked his Pip-Boy and saw that it was coming from the Med Bay and started walking. Once he entered the Med Bay, he could see Jimmy was in a cot, suffering from what appeared to be a drug overdose. Richard then asked, "What happened?"

"Hey Max, Richard, hows it going?" Jonathan was slumped forward in the chair waiting for Jimmy to wake up. "Someone gave him some jet and he overdosed. I'm waiting for him to wake up so I can ask him who gave it to him. Anyway i'm sooooooo bored right now." He stood up and went up to Max and Richard to shake their hands. "Do you guys know anything about this?"

Richard said, "I don't know who gave him the Jet, but Caine seems to be a likely choice, he seems unscrupulous enough to be a drug peddler." He then said, "Once this is over, I'm gonna have a [censored]load of data to add to the mainframe, you wouldn't mind sending it to me, would you Jonathan?"
