Home on the Wastes (A Fallout RolePlay) (closed, ended)

[lemiel14n3]

Ethan ran at a deathclaw that was coming at him, as it began to swing, Ethan dropped into a slide, like a baseball player coming into home base. The deathclaw, believing Ethan to be more wounded than he truly was, brought its head down to take a bite out of the Wastelander. As it's head came down, Ethan's gun came up, and stuck firmly into the deathclaw's toothed mouth. Ethan fired a shot in the weak skin on the roof of the deathclaw's mouth, then pulled the mechanism of the repeater and fired a second shot. The deathclaw slumped over Ethan, its dead weight kept him from moving.

Helen stood facing the last standing deathclaw. She had emptied clip after clip into the various deathclaws and was running low. The final deathclaw ran for her, claws high she fired off her LMG, crippling its leg. But the LMG, lacking proper repair and unaccustomed to the activity it engaged in this day, jammed. The deathclaw brought down his deadly hand onto Helen's body. The metal armor she was wearing protected her torso, but not her neck. The deathclaws hand caught on the spikes of her shoulder plates, but a few small fingers swung across her neck, severing her Jugular. Helen, unwilling to go down alone, pulled the pin on her last grenade. Taking the deathclaw along with her own death.

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

"OH SHIT!"

With the last deathclaw down, Dead Eye holstered his Rifle, and ran slid down the incline of the cliff, he helped Ethan out from under the nearly Headless Deathclaw, and ran over to where Helen had been.

"God Damn it."

 

[Voidrunner]

Night Owl swore up from his snipers nest on the cliff face and half ran, half fell down the slope into the valley. Night Owl didn't stop runnning until he was standing beside Dead Eye.

"It was like it was happening in slow motion to me, we were so close to all getting through this alive." Night Owl shook his head at the loss.

 

[OutcastBOS]

Knox dropped his hammer and ran ove to the group "[sub]No...[/sub] DAMMIT! Why did dhe have to die...?!" He runs over to the wall and starts punching it until his hand bleeds.

 

[PixelKing]

"Shit!" shouted Alex. "Why?!"

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

Dead Eye Tackled Knoxx

"Stop, stop, breaking your fists isnt going to bring her back. I know from experience."

he takes off his shooting gloves. And reveals badly scarred and broken knuckles


"This is why in the arena I only kicked the Fiend My hands are useless ina fight, I did that exactly after the legion left my town. You dont want this if your a Beserker style fight."

 

[OutcastBOS]

Knox is tackled and looks up ad Dead Eye
"I-I know...it was just the first thing I thought of doing..."
He looks over to his left and sees one deathclaw egg left un broken.
"I think I'll take this...as a rememberance..."

 

[Voidrunner]

"The egg? You want a pet Deathclaw? Well that'll be original if nothing else." Night Owl made his way back over the main group, drinking from a new bottle of Nuka Cola.

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

"So now we search this place inside and out for the chip?"

Dead Eye asked as a general question

 

[Voidrunner]

Night Owl nodded grimly.

"Didn't you spot it earlier, somewhere near the mother maybe? Or was it over near that light? This could take a while."

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

Who knows what that was, It was something shiny, like silver or polished glass or even metal, Almost like the glint of a rifle scope when a sniper is careless to not keep the sun behind him."

Points in the direction of where hed seen it

"But ya it was over there"

 

[OutcastBOS]

Knox picks up the egg and carefully puts it into a knapsack
"Let's look at that treasure first...and it better be worth it..."

 

[lemiel14n3]

The team walked to the red light they could see from the distance. as they approached, Dead eye moved a bit out of the unofficial formation and stopped off the the side, where he had earlier seen the glint of the chip, however the deathclaws earlier activity had moved it around a bit, and he didn't find the chip until the team had already arrived at the light. Picking up the small metal disc, imprinted with the logo of the lucky 38. He then jogged over to the group to catch up.

The rest had already arrived at the light. It sat on top of a hatch, locked by a padlock and heavily scratched by the deathclaws that had formerly surrounded it. About a yard away was a rectangular indentation in the sand, indicating the presence of a buried structure. Lucius managed to pick the padlock and the team climbed down the ladder into a room below.

Inside the hatch the lights turned on, reacting to the opening of the hatch above. The light reveals the contents of the chamber. Dead center on a lift leading to the rectangular structure buried above, now revealed to be a larger hatch was an intact pre-war tank. However the mechanism appeared so degraded, and even broken in several places, enough so that the vehicle would be unable to be recovered.

Along the far wall of the chamber was a row of Tesla armor. Given the period of time they had been hidden below their power sources had completely died, and would require replacement and repair. Next to this armor was a rack of hangers holding standard U.S. Military medium combat armor.

On another wall was lined standard weapons of the pre-war U.S. military, several assault carbines, an equal number of service rifles and three anti-material rifles as well as nearly a dozen 10mm pistols. On the opposite wall were positioned a set of energy weapons, laser rifles and pistols. Both walls included the ammunition for the weapons stored there.

The wall closest to the entrance hatch was lined with desks and computers, above which were first aid kits.

Ethan walked over to the wall of armor and put on a set of combat armor, removing the gauntlets from his earlier leather armor and including them to the combat armor. "Jeezus, crazy ***** wasn't kidding, the tank alone would get me enough caps to live like Mr. House. Too bad we can't get it out. Pity she didn't make it, it would have been good for her to know that her wait wasn't for nothing"

 

[OutcastBOS]

Knox makes his way into the chamber and looked around in awe. He had never seen this many awesome things in one place before! He walked throught the area, picking up and setting down different objects before grabbing some objects out of a first aid kit, some ammo.
"Helen would have been exstatic to see all of this stuff..."
He then grabbed a Combat helmet and put it on, and grabbed a set of the Enclave armor on the wall before turning to Alex
"Mind teaching me how to wear this now?"

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

"That shit takes years, to master."


He picked up an Anti-Material Rifle and examined it compaered to his sniper rifle, He decided to try it out.

he poped a round into a nearby cement wall startling everyone, impresed with the large crater in the wall he left his weapon for this.


He then picked up A few clips and began going through the desks looking for loot.


"So, We going back to House?"

 

[Voidrunner]

"A pre-war weapons cache? The Brotherhood would be all over this, every scavenger in the wastes would be all over this, we've got to cart this stuff out." Night Owl looked around the room in wonder, pacing around the racks of weapons and armour.

"Are those computers still alive, maybe something useful is on them."

 

[PixelKing]

"Alright! Listen Up!" said Alex. "If you want to learn how to use the telsa armour grab some and come over here." he gestured to a corner "I'll show you the basics so you can move and shoot snd whatnot and I'll show you the rest later."

He walked over to the computers and started hacking the programs while waiting for everyone.

"If your armour is broke I can do some quick repairs that won't last long but will be long enough to get to house. Afterwards I can use my spare parts to do a better job."

"If you need some medical help I can also give you a quick patch up with the gear in the health kits."

 

[OutcastBOS]

Knox hefts the armor onto his shoulder and makes his way over to alex. He makes it almost all the way there before getting a sharp pain in his shoulder and drops to a knee. He looks at his arm and notices a bleeding gash mark that failed to alert him before. So he drags the armor over to Alex. "I think I might need to take ya up on both of those things buddy..."

 

[PixelKing]

"This might sting but as a khan this shouldn't bother you." said Alex before cleaning out his wound and bandaging it with his spare supplies. "Try not to use that hammer for a couple of days."

"Now the trick to the armour is to let your body adapt to the weight by just standing still for a couple of minutes and then walking back and forth. Main reason mine never comes off is because you constantly need to re-adapt. When you can walk fine do some quick stretchs and a little run. Shootings simple, you just fire normally but slightly lighter due to the strength of the armour. Give it a try and if your arm keeps hurting I'll do a much deeper examining."

 

[OutcastBOS]

Knox winces a tiny bit, but it wasn't so bad...he's been stung by a Cazador, and taken the initiation, a gash isn't anything. He listens to Alex intently and puts the armor on and does a few of the stretching techniques and walks around as recommended. "Wow...it's kinda weird feeling wearing this big armor, but then not feeling so...heavy...You know what I mean?"
