>>Have a chat with the Mercs you don't know

Most of the Mercs were huddled together in groups. You did find a short black haired woman in her mid thirties sitting in the corner of the room. She didn't look like one of these savages but she had two strange markings on both cheeks. Another noticeable thing about her was her battle rifle; It was riddled with small strange engravings. Her combat armor also shared some of these engravings

"Hey babe, I..." you found yourself stuttering "Wanna go and kill some stuff? you look fine with that sweet ass rifle..."

She didn't part her lips.The woman gave you a gaze of disgusting. You backed away to avoid more awkwardness.

Anglo always had a deck of card every fucking time. He was pretty good too. you lost to him twice in a row one time.

you found the man putting some stuff in his locker.

"Hey Anglo, Wanna 908?"

"Wanna lose again? ok." He pulled out the deck of cards from his pocket "Bet or no Bet?"

Best Roll : 94 [Success]

You never felt luckier before. All the good cards just kept coming and coming. Anglo was astonished by his impending defeat.

"Huh..." Anglo paused, he had some hard time processing his recent defeat "Never lost a game in seven years years.I guess she is on your side now. Take care of her." Anglo pulled out an old red magnum. It was modified to have less recoil and a lighter frame. The name 'Last Virgi' was engraved on it.

>>43070467

"This magnum..." you inspected it "You have a long with it, right?"

"Her." Anglo corrected you "Last Virgi is one of the 'Lasts'. The Lasts are weapon dampened with sweet sweet luck. you will know them when you see them. I got mine just like you did. put one bullet in it and don't get greedy. Respect her and she will do the same."

you thanked the man and soon left him. He was kind of sad but it was understandable.

Boss Waltzed right next to you. She looked pissed as hell. There was some commotion outside. you and most of the Mercs went to see what was going on.

In front of Leggy were half a dozen of men and women in advanced power armour and other fancy armours. They had some neat weapons. you never saw a gattling laser before.

"Good morning, you piles of cheap shit." a familiar voice came amongst them.

It was Garrett. He hid his handsomeness under a bulky armour, He wore a helmet too which was odd.


"What is going on here? What are you doing with these assholes?" none spoke but Boss.

"Darling, I come here with a message. We, The Red Steels mercenary company, will assume control over this shithole. So pack up your stuff and leave before it gets really ugly. You and your riffraff team don't belong here anymore."

"How can you do this?" Boss was slighlty shaking "Bos-"

"Your Dad was a piece of shit, too naive and stupid for this world. You will never be anything like him. You disgrace him by your cap whoring and other shit you fucking dumb bitch. Everyone will know how much of cunt you are. I know everything about you."

Cain was watching silently all way back. he moved forward the moment he saw Boss shaking after Garrett's words. He had the power fist in his right hand.

>>43071272
Goddammit.
How many people do we have Snow?

>>43071289
I don't think we want us dead though. it will be bad for business . They came with their best to scare The Boss and her mercs. Most of the weapons the Mercs have at the moment can't do shit against the power armour not at least at the first try.

>>43071319
they are six. we are way way more.

>>43071195
>>Say something to Garrett

Either he gets the hell out of here or kill him and use that fancy armor as a scarecrow.

>>43071401
"you made your point, shithead. Now get the fuck out of here. you can't kill us all."

Cain stopped and waited for Garrett to reply "Time to go, boys. We have more important issues to deal with." The Red Steels backed away. Boss hurried back to her office and close the door behind her. Some of the Mercs started to loose faith. you heard some mumbling about leaving for good and what not.

"Can't believe what he had just did. He sold us out real good. He played the part very well too. Shame." Cain was genuinely sad. They were once friends as far as you know.

"Well?" you asked Cain.

"There isn't much to say. We can finally scatter after all these years, kick them out somehow, really up ourselves to match them or We can relocate to somewhere else....It is up to the Boss. Not me."

>Boss is too emotional to act now you have to do something
>I will speak with her to see what is on her mind

"Boss sent them for a big one. Haven't heard anything new about them for three weeks or so. Mile is on a job as you know. I am the only one around."

"I will try to talk to her. wish me luck."

You left Cain and went inside. Some of the Mercs were already emptying their lockers. Ignoring them, you headed for her office. You can hear her crying.

It wasn't the time for pleasantries. you open the door. Boss put her head and arm on the desk and kept crying "I am such a failure...."

"Come on, don't say that. You are the Boss. you know it all, Boss."

A small chuckle escaped from her lips "Funny, My Dad always wanted a boy to continue his legacy. Every time, he lied to me straight in the face saying it didn't matter...i am 'special'...lies...all lies.,.you have to swing your dick if you want some recognition. This is how it goes.".

>He loved you, Boss. Don't disappoint him

"He is right, Boss. Your old man has waited for this moment for so long. It is time to defend your title, Boss." Cain joined you.

He wasn't alone " You can do it, Bossie! We are with you!" Miss sledge was overly excited for some reason.

"Bus. Stronk." Walks winked thrice and swayed her head twice. Boss cracked a small smile afterwards. Other Mercs true to Leggy joined as well.

"We are with you boss."

"We ain't afraid of these fuckos."

"We got your Back Boss."

The Tears of pain were no more. Only joy "I...I...don't know what to say.Thank you. Thank you for giving me some purpose again."

Boss tidied herself, wiped her tears and cleared her throat "We will wait until the rest of our assets are back from their receptive jobs. for now, I would like to hear your thoughts about this crisis."

you suggested for more professionalism but surprisingly. A good chunk of who was left suggested starting in a new place away from this shithole. It was tempting of course but there are many risks related to restarting from scratch. For now, Boss said she would consider everything. She wanted to have some time by herself. You could see more of these small dots.

It was already about midday. You and the others waited for the next couple of hours but no one came. It was nighttime.

The Twins, Han and Gab were closing their shop. you were about to go there but you also noticed a small shop for the first time . It must have been built in overnight or something. You couldn't exactly see what was on sale, only flashy lights and a strange scent.

Curiosity got the best of you. you went to the new shop. There wasn't anything on sale. Just a black curtain behind a poorly constructed stand. The scent was beautiful though. You felt relaxed as hell. It was better than Jet.

"Hello." a soft woman's voice resonated behind the curtain "I am Ann." She paused for a second "I am a junk Vendor." She paused once more "Give me your Junk and I will give you caps...."

Her last pause was awkward "Blood of any kind is the most valuable. please sell something."

>you sound awfully weak, are you alright?

"I am." the woman paused "Fine"

"Whores of Babylon and some other freaks love blood, Are you a whore , Ann?"

"I..I-"

You took a quick peak. Ann covered herself in lots of black and white pieces of cloth. She was slightly taller than you and more slender as well. lots of Junks and caps were around her. "Please." Ann paused "Don't do that. Respect my privacy. It is the only thing I have."

>>Ask her if her shop is going to be sticking around.

>>43073639
"I won't put you..." Ann paused "At risk. One is enough."

"Alright. can you take these too? 50 caps sounds okay?" you left the spears on the stand.

"Alright. Please stand still." with her covered hands, Ann completed the blood transfer. you felt slightly woozy but you got 250 caps.

"You are staying here for a while, yeah?"

"Yes. I have no place to go. This will do." She slowly started to wave "Safe travels. Come Back.Soon.."

you left Ann's shop. The twins had already closed their shop. It was a shame but there is always tomorrow.

And that concludes our thread. Thank you for participating. and sorry for the slow pace.

Thank you anon one last question before i go.

How about you feel about the current progress of this quest? compared to Gwyn's unfinished quest, which is better/worse?

>>43073947
I like the pace.
I'm a little iffy about our perks (there hasn't been a positive benifit yet) but I think relying on dice fixed a few problems that made quickly getting lots of skill increasing perks criticaly nessasary.
