Fallout: The Rejects

[shadowmadnezz]

Jack laughed sinisterly as he watched Zephyr leave the alley way, pleased with what had conspired. His laughter carried on until it pained him to do so, due to the kick he received from Athina earlier. He grabbed his side, and squinted in pain.

 

"You're an Idiot some times Jack.." Daniel said, after watching Scar head to the bar.

 

"What?! I'll be damned before I split my hard earned caps with some guy who knows you got a bounty." Jack said. "Because if he knows about yours, what makes you think he doesn't know there's a price on my head?"

 

"Yeah your right. I understand that." Daniel rushed Jack and grabs him by the collar. He pulls jack closer, staring him directly in the eyes with a cold gaze.

 

"Now we don't know where he is. If he really was out to get us, he could be telling who ever it is he's working for in Memphis that we are heading to Lebanon. Or might even give a heads up to regulators that we are here - right now. If he was with us, workin' the job, we could atleast keep an eye on him!" Daniel shouted out. he paused for a moment, realizing the girl was still conscious, and resting on her knees a few feet from them. She had finished the water and let it roll onto the floor. Daniel sighed, then pushed Jack to the side.

 

"We gotta be smart Jacko. We don't got many friends left you and me. When some one offers you help - take it. Let time decide who you can trust or not. You should know that by now." Daniel watched the girl, then brought his attention to the dumpster, where Scar had stored the dead bodies. It was getting to smell, and Daniel didn't want a repeat of what happened earlier.

 

"Go check on our Scar face friend. Make sure he doesn't get into any more trouble will ya? We're heading out in a few. Meet me At the front gate." Daniel said. Jack returned a military salute to Daniel, and slowly walked out of the alley, still reaching at his gut. When Jack made his way to the bar, he was baffled, seeing the door had been destroyed. He peeked into the establishment and walked inside, scanned the room carefully, until he spotted a familiar face, Scar sitting at the corner bar. He smiled and made his way over to Scar.

 

" I take it you got your drink then? " Jack laughed and pulled a chair from the table, and placed himself in it.

Athina stared blankly infront of her for a mopment before returning her answer, "I guess so. But what if we draw TOO much attention to ourselves?" she stopped as he collapsed to his knees "And im starting to think tht whoever did that to you could be looking for you..." she paused and turned her face away to stare blankly at the ground. She continued in a very faint whisper, "And i doubt you were juat abandoned like a piece of trash..." her voice lowered to an unhearable level, "Like me." It was quite a painfull subject for Athina, and something she had always wondered about. She often came to the conclusion that the project was abandoned because they couldnt achieve what they wanted with her, or that she was defective beyond rapair.

Many think that because Athina is a machene, that she isnt capable of emotions. But whether they be true, or simply programmes written to simulate the feeling, Athina could still feel pain. Why they would give an android obviously built for fighting capability to feel pain was a mystery. But she could still feel a deep emotional scar that had been left behind the moment she realised that she had been left there in the lab that she had awoken in.

"What the *ban me* do you want" Scar said to Jacko "You no what dont even answer

I know Daniel sent you"

Scar peered over Jacko's shoulder watching for a guard to come about the stolen whiskey and there it is Scar thought "Well Jacko its been fun but I gotta go, don't ask" Scar stopped the gaurd on his way out "If you're looking for the thief hes over there" Scar said pointing to Jacko "thank you sir" replied the guard

 

Scar walked out and heard the din behind in the building "Well that takes care of Jacko"

Mars returned to the duo's tent to find Zephyr kneeling over a group of papers looking through them. "Hmmm, Mars I don't want to take this man to Memphis but have you seen the numbers? Jesus. That's more caps than a we usually see in a year. I know we didn't think about it before, but he's not headed in the direction we need him to if we're going to use his help to take them down, that bounty is massive..." Zephyr said in a far-off voice almost more to himself than the Deathclaw.

 

"Sure it's plenty of caps but are we really going to be so quick to change our position? After all what has he done to incur our malice? On the contrary he was rather cordial to us it was a few of his crew that were so hostile. Should we arbitrarily decide to start hunting a man we before were going to work with? He's not wronged us in any way." Mars countered.

 

"Yet." Zephyr said grimly. "He's not an idiot he knows there's a bounty on his head and he's probably wodering if we've gone and informed off the big shots in Memphis or tipped off the Regulators to his prescence. If he's anything like the man my intel portrays him to be he'll seek us out and attempt to kill us to keep our mouths shut and if he finds out we've already talked he'll swear and try it."

 

"So we prepare. He's headed to Lebanon, let us make our decision there--and make haste. We want t be there before them. We can prepare ourselves for defense or to ambush him. Although we may have competition I'm sure our exchange in the alley did not go completely unheard." Mars reasoned.

 

"Then let's stow our gear and get a move on. No need to camp out in this dead beat town anymore." Zephyr said and rose.

Cale dug around his pack and pulled out a thing of Med-X. He injected it into his leg and sighed as it started working. He looked back up at Ath. "Well then we'll just run like hell." He chuckled softly when Ath said that the people could be looking for him. "I doubt it. Told you before. The guy that helped me said that i was laying in front of a burning pile of rubble that used to be a building when he found me. I got a feeling whoever did this to me was in there when it went up." He let out another sigh. He didn't need to hear her to know what she was thinking. "Ath i highly doubt that you were simply abandoned. You're way too advanced for that kind of treatment. I'm thinking that there's another reason why you were left there. Maybe something happened to the team or something, I don't know. But i seriously doubt that they'd leave you there without a good reason."

[MoDqUeen]

Athina looked back with a slight smile on her face but made as to look at something else when she realised that she was blushing. "Its possible i guess. But there are things that make me think that they werent completely finished with the progect." she paused and looked up at the sky, a thing she regurlarly did when she was deep in thought a few moments whent by before she spoke again. "One thing that still bothers me is that... wif something did happen to them, what if from there the remote was found that enables my instant shutdown." she looked back at cale, by this time the slight reddining of her synthetic cheecks had dissapered. she extended her hand to hep him to his feet before continuing, "and by that they would be able to reprogramme me if they have the right knowhow. I don't want to become a mindless Zombie cale. I really don't"

"Junky male without a father." Jack said with an angered look on his face, as Scar left the bar. He turned to his side and noticed a man and woman looking in his direction with an odd look to them. Minding to their drinks, and now Jacks agitated remarks. Jack grinned as he watched them.

 

"WHAT?" Jack asked after slamming his fist on the table. They quickly turned away, then Jack smirked as he raised himself from the chair. He laughed softly to himself and turned around, only to find a leather armored guard standing in front of him. Jack looked him up and down, and stared at him with an uneasy look.

 

"You got a problem man?" Jack asked.

 

"Hand over the stolen goods!" The guard asked.

 

"What the hell are you-"

 

"The Booze! you stole it! hand it over or we're gonna kick your ass!" The man said. Jack looked around the room and witnessed several men stand from there bar stools and away from their tables, leaving their drinks behind. The people of Providence apparently didn't approve of a thief. Jack shook his head, and realized just now how quickly Scar had left the building. Double crossing.. Jack thought to himself as he held back his tongue.

 

"Get the hell out of my face man." Jack said and began to walk ahead towards the door.

 

"You hold on a mi-" Jack quickly shoved the guard into bar counter, knocking over a row of stools and spilling stale beer all over the man. Jack watched as another man rushed towards him - with his fist raised ready to attack. Jack quickly dodged it with a step to the side, then twisted the mans wrist with a grisly crack. the man screamed in pain as he tended to his broken wrist. The bone broke through the skin and poked out in a gruesome manner, and blood gushed out from the wound. Jack grabbed the mans hand, and tugged at it making him scream even more, before punching him in the gut several times with his bloodied hand. Jack looked to the other men. their fear - witnessing what happened kept them back. Jack went to the counter and stared down the Bar tender who was trembling as Jack approached. He eyed the bottles of whiskey on the table, and then looked back to the Bar tender. Jack cleared his throat, smiled then pointed to the case of liquor.

 

"Can I-"

 

"Just take it!" The bartender said. He shoved the case in Jack's direction. Jack smirked, then licked the blood from his hand before pulling free two bottles of the whiskey. He winked at the bar tender. and headed out of the bar. Unknown to him, there was a man standing across from the tavern. He was dressed in dark combat armor that was silently watching Jack before he entered, and now as he left. He watched Jack head into the direction of the alleyway and growled at the scene. He whistled to a other men, dressed in similar armor who rallied to his call. Five in all, they were equipped with Chinese assault rifles and matching Chinese swords. One of them, had a belt with slave collars dangling from the sides.

 

"I think its time we collect our merchandise.." The leader of the slavers said to the men.

[rbrophy2]

Scar was walking away from the bar drinking the stolen whiskey when he was confronted by a few thieves one put a gun to Scars head and said "Gimme your money and we'll make your death a swift one" "Well my friend I've no money to give so I'll make your death a swift one" Scar replied sticking his knife into one.

He let the man drop knife still stuck in him and pulled out his 357. BAM! a shot went off one thieves head exploded.

 

"Forget this sh*t man Im outta here said the last thieve" BAM! a 357. round entered his leg grounding him instantly he started to crawl Scar grabbed his knife and walked slowly towards the man.

 

"Please sir I dont wanna die I have a wife and kids"

 

"To bad" Scar said stabbing the man in the lungs and stomach.

 

"There, gasp for your last breaths of air while your stomach acid eats away at your intestines"

 

"God curse you" the man gasped.

 

"Yeah well up yours too"

[Voivre]

Matoaka had accompanied the men from the ally, she didn't understand why, but she decided it might be in her best interest for her own survival. The two men were off at a bar arguing over something arbitrary, so she decided to wander off to a pile of broken components, and began selecting parts. A disgruntled man came up behind her and startled her by his loud abrasive voice.

 

"What are you doing! Get away from that!" He shouted

 

Matoaka jumped from being shocked, and gave a short, but very quiet response.

 

"I need materials." She replied

 

By now half the place was watching this unintended transgression, the other half didn't seem to care, and went about their business.

[josh900]

Cale scratched his head for a moment. "Hmm... Yeah that would be a problem.... Well i guess we'll just have to hope that doesn't happen.... I mean you said so yourself. The place was pretty much a ruin when you got out. And besides. Chances are whoever made you made sure that no one would be able to find the remote. Hell they probably too it with them when they left. And another thing. Would it even work at this range? We're probably hundreds of miles away from that place and the people that made you are probably even father away." He put his hands on her shoulder. "So relax. And if somehow someone does get ahold of it i'll personally track them own and rip it out of their cold dead hands and put you right back the way you are. Okay?"

 

 

 

Outside the city a man wearing a long black, bullet hole filled jacket looked at the city through a pair of binoculars. He let out a low growl. "Well it's about damn time. Was starting to think this place didn't even exist." He looked back behind him and sighed. "And of course now she's nowhere to be found." He put the binoculars into one of his jackets pocket's and pulled out a small two way radio and spoke into it. "Damn it Grey would it kill you to tell me when you head off on your own?" He let off the speak button and waited for her responce. He thought to himself. "Damn.... She's just like Colton. Giant pain in the ass both of em."
