I was doing that little quest with the kid called Sticky. He was really annoying, but I figured if you join me you learn to pull your own weight and fight for a while. So, I gave him a sledgehammer. Later on, I accidentally ran into Fort Banister. I jumped from atop the ledge to the northwest I think and fell into the fray, with all Chinese Assault rifles blazing. Jericho was giving long range support fire from atop the hill and Sticky's useless AI was trying to calculate a path down the hill. I fought singlehandedly through all enemies but one on the south side of the fort. I thought the fort was cleared, but as I was exploring it, I saw the one last guys off at the outer wall on a small wooden scaffold with a combat shotgun. I decided to charge him with my assault rifle. As I approached, I saw movement off to my right. Sticky had finally gotten around the helping me and was rushing into battle with his hammer held high over his head. I suspect he was screaming "Wolverines!", but I couldn't hear him. He was about 20ft away from the scaffold when the Talon merc turned and put a shotgun shell into Sticky's chest. Needless to say he went down in one hit, and I went in halfheartedly screaming "Nooo!" I butchered the merc and looked at Sticky's body, said a small prayer along the lines of "don't annoy God like you did me," took my hammer back, and left him there to rot. I later learned it was a legit quest, but still the guy was an idiot.
