"What the fuck crawled up his ass." Jack asked Tenel Ka as they looked over his pipboy's map ten minutes after the meeting.
"I do not know, I belive that he wishe's to evaluate the recruits that managed to stand out. Apparently we qualified. Although I do not know how Fenix will manage to keep up with his injuries."
"Yeah, that guy fought well but he's still pretty fucked up."
"Last I checked, freind Jack, you were still injured yourself"
"True, but not that injured. Anywayl, lets go and see if the supply people have any extra stims for us, Im plan out of them."
"As am I."
Twenty minutes later, they had managed to scrounge five stimpacks each off of the medi people for assisting in carrying the dead to a large pit, where they would be buried.
 
Fenix was sitting quietly with the new dog and constructing a sling from a torn strip of denim. He knew he would be okay except for the screaming pain whenever he moved his arm. As a distraction he intently studied the map of where he was headed, and thanked God that the commander had asigned him one of the easier routes to scout out.

twenty minutes later Fenix sat with his arm firmly held to his side and a fresh set of bandages. He knew they would be moving out soon so he took out his laser pistol and began to break it down into it's components. Most of the moving parts were welded together by the excess heat, and had to be filed back into shape so that they fit the gun again. Multiple wires had burned through and needed to be replaced with fresh ones. Fenix took care to make sure they were of higher wattage than the previous ones. Even the plastic stock and grip had to be replaced by wooden ones that Fenix carved himself. Last, but not least Fenix checked the lens that focused the light, and to his malcontent it was blackened at clouded. The char on the outside came off but the crystal would never be the same because of the clouding. A thought then struck Fenix. He quickly wrote a letter to the parts requisition tent for a new lens for a laser rifle, and folded the paper into an envelope containing the old lens.

"Rosco come here boy."

The dog loped to fenix lazily, and the small envelope was put in it's letter satchel.

Fenix pointed at a tent 200 yards away."Bring them this letter."

Rosco barked and took off at a dead run.

Fenix turned to Kahgan who had been keeping quiet the whole time.

"So I heard you killed a deathclaw in the fight all by yourself. Why don't you tell me the story."
 
Kahgan moved his view slowly over to Fenix, "Yeah! Well, I was kinda lucky, the claw was standing right beneath me, I was on a rooftop. Don't ask why it didn't smell me ,you don't want to know, and I'd rather forget it to. so I found this old machete here, jumped down on its shoulders, then slammed the machete in its throat, ya'shoulda seen all that blood."

"Speaking of that, you got any idea of any tanner nearby? I'd rather get this hide tanned before it starts to rot."
 
Scorp was not at all to pleased with this assignment. First of all, Lance and Frank were assigned to the main force. Secondly, being send to somewhere near the Glow was never pleasant. This place had been avoided far decades by most raiders. Maybe even centuries. Raiders that did go near it, either never returned or came back with horrible stories. Many even died after returning, no amount of radaway could help them.

The group quickly checked their supplies and came up obviously short on anti radiation supplies. They only had 3 Rad-X pills and 1 Rad-Away IV between the three of them. Scorp thought that getting supplies from the BoS would not be so easy.

When saying goodbye to his raiderbrothers, in the usual machostyle, with laughter, strong hitting on the shoulder and such, he asked them one last favor.

Without informing Miles of anything they walked to the building that was housing the BoS medics. As they walked in Scorp simply said "Miles, go to the back, where they keep the genuine supplies and steal us some."

Miles had no time to argue as the 3 raiders and Thorgrimm had just entered the building. They were quickly intercepted by the doctor and 2 field medics. Lance and Frank made a loud plea for stimpacks because they would be fighting in the thick of it. Thorgrimm made a big speech about how stupid it was to send the scouts to the Glow without proper supplies while Scorp made it his new hobby to throw insults at the medics trying to keep them at bay.

Eventually the medics cracked and gave them some supplies from a locker, but they all knew these were the salvaged meds, not the real BoS supplies. The pills labeled as Rad-X could very well have been mislabeled and be some random other drug... Can you imagine taking some meds to protect you from dangerous radiation but then find yourself wandering through the area seeing marvelous colors just because the pills happen to have the same color? Scorp and Thorgrimm werent planning on doing that...

Scorp stomped his feet and Miles came back out of the back room, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible.

Outside the three made a quick inventory of their loot: 6 BoS RadAway IVs, 12 BoS Rad-X pills, 10 stimpacks and 2 superstimpacks. Add to this the 4 salvaged Rad-X pills and the 2 salvaged RadAway IVs and you're quite well equiped to get scouting into the wastes.

"Well done!" Scorp said as he ran his hand through Miles' hair.

"Thank you, and keep your hands to yourself..." Miles replied while recoiling, trying to avoid Scorps hand.

"Haha, the dude has balls. I like that." Scorp said to Throgrimm and then continued to Miles "But ever take it too far and I'll eat you alive. Comprende esse?"

Miles gave a quick nod and they were on their way out of town.
 
Miles nodded at Scorp and distributed the pilfered supplys quickly, then placed his helmet back on his head."Ok, now that we are all equipped, you have any idea on which way we should head first? I don't know if we really want to go into the Glow..i've heard bad storys about that place". Miles studied his map then rolled it up and put it back in his hip pocket."We probably have enough food water and medical supplys to last us a week between us".

Miles knew a three person scout team was more out of the need to cover area than firepower, if they ran into trouble and got in over their heads then they where definitely dead meat...
 
rob quickly checked his weapon and his armour,he had a few scratches here and there but nothing that would slow him down.

rob looked over his shoulder and saw nicolas and omega,the two recruits in his team,two recruits he never even saw during the battle.

"hah......great......fucking great"mumbled rob to himself
 
With a large amount of bluster, Jack and Tenel Ka set off alongside Arco on their scout mission.

The odd pair didnt seem to get along with their new commander, but seemed resigned to t heir current fate.

Afterall, a lot could happen in the wastes.
 
"Damnit, it got away!" Greg thought as a silver gecko he had hunted for several hours disapeared under a big rock. Greg took a look under the rock, but couldn't see anything.

Greg turned around and walked a few metres away from the rock. In the distance he could see a big party of men marching forward.
"Probably a caravan!" Greg thought.
"Caravans means trading, trading means equipement." Greg added.

He took a gulp of a Nuka Cola bottle and started walking against the men marching.
 
OCC: sorry for double posting but there is noone posting, and I want to get back into the story!

ICC:
It was hot, as Greg took another gulp of the Nuka Cola bottle.
He was closing on the group marching south.

Greg came up to the group and a guy turned around and pointed his weapon at Greg.
"Who the hell are you?" The guy asked.
Several other guys turnaed around and looked at Greg.
"I'm just a lone wanderer, who are you guys?"

"We are a group of volunteers from the Brotherhood of steel!" The guy answered.
"What are you doing down here?" Greg asked.
"I think you should go to the commander and talk about it to him!" The guy said, lowered his weapon, and pointed at a guy in powered armor standing next to another power armored man holding a map.

Greg walked up to the power armored man, as the one with the map walked away.
"You're the commander?" Greg asked.
"Yes, I am!" The commander answered.
"Where are all these people going?" Greg replied.
"We are going down south to take out a mutant threat, all these people aren't really members of the Brotherhood of steel, but volunteers." The commander said.
"Hmm....sounds interesting commander, need some new blood?" Greg asked.
"Sure, always good with more people!"

"So where do I go?" Greg asked.
"Well, hmm.....you can join the scout group that is walking south along the sea." The commander said. "They have a cyberdog with them so you'll notice when it's them!" He added.
"Sure I'll get on it." Greg said and started walking.
 
Arco, Jack, and Tenel Ka moved out from the outpost. They, like the other groups ,were just to continue their search for the mutants. They had to pass the Glow and Arco knew that no one liked going anywhere near that place. He made it clear to Scorpio and his group at they to stay as far away as they could while still covering the area suffiently.
 
That night, Jack offerd to take first watch while Tenel Ka and Arco slept since, as he told them, he loved the stars, something he had never seen growing up in the vault.
 
After having left the town and having received last minute orders from Arco (which had been bloody obvious... "don't go near the Glow", now there is a good piece of advice...). The traveling itself was pretty uneventful for Thorgrimm, Miles and Scorp. Every now and then they crossed tracks of mutants, but most were over a week old.

The only useful thing learnt uptil now was that Miles was beginning to prove himself reliable. He was a long way from being called a friend but at least he wasn't a pain in the ass. He had quickly learnt to keep quiet and observe instead of constantly asking questions. Both Scorp and Thorgrimm would never win any 'most sociable partymember'-awards.

Soon the smallgroup would pass by the Glow. Hopefully, they wouldn't encounter some freak mutations...
 
Miles walked along with the two silent men as they journeyed threw the wasteland.The trip reminded him of his walk from home to the hub.Alot of desert, alot of sun and alot of danger. The glow was a few days away but they had been ordered to avoid it and Miles was sure glad for that.Craddling the carbine in his hands Miles scanned the horizon as he walked watching for any signs of danger or anything usefull
 
The small group slowly made its way through the wastes, the landscape was slowly changing. The desertland was changing into hills with low bushes. The group had reached the small hills around the Glow. In another day they would reach the desert surrounding it. That desert would be the first warning to turn away and also the last moment on which you would have to take your antiradiation meds. But we are getting ahead of things.

Thorgrimm noticed movement, or better yet he heard unnatural sounds over the hill up ahead. He quickly gestured to keep quiet. Scorp made some simple but obvious handmovements, meaning that Miles and Thorgrimm had to spread out and move in. Scorp slowly moved over the top of the hill while keeping a low profile in the setting sun.

On the other side, the hill was covered in bushes. Scorp couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, until one of the bushes shook a bit. He decided to move in closer. The small bush kept on shaking on regular intervals and it was obvious it wasn't the wind that was causing it...

Now only 5 meters from the bush, a beast came out of it facing Scorp. Scorp started laughing out load and yelled out to his comrades. "Hey guys, come out it's just a weirdlooking gecko!" Scorp saw Miles from a crouched position near him and Thorgrimm get up from a prone position on top of the hill.

Scorp then pointed at the beast, which had an odd shade of fur, not the standard white or greenish gold. The gecko didn't seem to appreciate that and started to make a hissing sound. Scorp kicked a nearby rock into the direction of the animal, but missed. The beast aggressively opened its mouth and let out a big flame that caught Scorp entirely off guard...

Luckily the beast was still standing and the flame only burnt the hair on Scorps arm. Scorp dropped to the ground and in a reflex started shooting with his M249. The gecko was ripped to sherds by the 5.56mm rounds. unfortunately, what Scorp could not see is that 3 other geckos came out of the surrounding bushes...
 
Rob and the two recruits had been wandering around for hours without a word until one of them spoke.

"Hey Rob........tell us a bit about yourself"said Nicolas

"I'm just a sargent stuck out here in the middle of nowhere..."replied Rob

"How did you get into the brotherhood of steel?"asked Omega

Rob kept silent and continued to walk giving the hint he didn't want to answer that question.
 
Miles brought the carbine to his shoulder as the creature tryed to flame broil Scorp. Sighting in on the first new lizard to apear Miles fired three rounds quickly two of them catching the creature in the side and spinning it around but causing light damage. Growling or whatever they where doing the lizards started to advance on Scorp who from his position couldnt get a line on them. Thorgrimm had moved up to a higher position and had begun aiming with his sidearm trying to get a decent shot...
 
Greg had been wandering around in the desert for hours. He hadn't seen anyone yet and he was still walking towards the sea.

Greg took a bite from a gecko he had caught and fried, and also took a gulp of a Nuka Cola bottle.

He stopped in the middle of nowhere and looked around, he could see two men walking towards the sea in the distance. They had some animal or something with them.

"That's gotta be them!" Greg thought to himself.
 
Arco awoke from his pleasant little nap refresh and ready to kick some serious ass. The days had passed surprisingly slow and uneventful but their purpose for taking this route was to become all to clear now. According the ancient maps, the place known as the glow had a sister site that evaluated and stored the results for the tests carried out at the glow. The maps only called this place site 4256. Arco wasn't sure if this site had survived but he thought that the mutants may have found it on the way south. If that was the case, the events to follow could be disastrous. This site was located about 25 miles west southwest of the glow so it appeared to be out the dangerous radiation zone that emanated from that indentment in the earth.

Arco cued up his radio, "This is Arco. I have message for all scout groups. I know you are wondering while the hell we are out here. The reason is that we believe that there maybe another military research site in the area that had information on the FEV. Our orders are to find that site if it exists, kill anything inside, collect all significant data, and find a way to destroy the place. I don’t know what this place looks like but it is probably an underground facility. We are just going to continue our scouting patterns and find this site."

The radio crackled back with the response from most of the squads. They all seemed to understand that they were to just continue to scout the area and do whatever they have been doing for the last few days. Arco felt that this was the best way to find the answer they were seeking. A short time later, Rob reported in.

”This Rob! I don’t know what is happening here! They just started fire at each other.” The sounds of small arms shots and curses were present in the background. ”I think you guys need to come down here, now!”

Arco’s group was the closest to Rob’s position and they were therefore the ones to go that see what was happening first.
“You’ve got point maggot sucker.” Arco was talking to Jack. It wasn’t that he hated him; it was just that Jack was still very new to the wastes and hence quite weak. Arco brought him along because he saw potential, if jack could learn to harness it.
 
Jack spent the next twelv hours grumbling to himself in Russian, a language he had picked up from Natali's family back in Vault 13.
After most of a day walking over broken wasteland.

Suddenly, he saw movement up ahead as he crawled over the top of a hill.

Taking out his binocs, Jack zoomed it.

'Gee willigers, what's going on, Jack thought as he saw the odd sight......



OCC


Natila refers to the FO pregenerated characther..

The ending is a setup for whatever happend to Rob's group to be explaind.

The Gee Willligers..... Well, that's making fun of/using the lingo from the FO setting.
 
Greg was walking, as he saw a small gecko coming out of its cave. Greg quickly dropped down to the ground and grabbed a stone, he was hungry.

The gecko found a small bush to feed on. Greg snuck up behind a stone four metres away from the gecko!

Greg was about to strike, when he looked over the stone, the gecko had disappeared. After a few seconds he noticed a golden gecko running off with the little gecko in its mouth.

"Argghh....Damnit!" Greg said, and took another gulp of the Nuka Cola bottle. It was now emptied by his thirst, he dropped it in the desert, and started walking again.
