You reached Eden after three days or so from Mile 46. It was afternoon by then. There were some serious security around the vault gate. The guards looked grim and ready for any fuck up.

The client was no where to be seen. One of the guards drew his scatter gun upon seeing Rein. Other guards did the same

"Put your weapons down and raise your hands in the air, now! The vault gate can hold your blast. go blow up yourself somewhere else!"

>[Let Richard speak]
>Do we look like the the seed you trigger happy fuck? we want to defuse the damn thing?
>We are the Leggy, we are waiting for a client
>Shit, Mile. you are right; they are fucking gay.
>[say nothing]

>Shit, Mile. you are right; they are fucking gay.

>>43406799
hello anon.

well since this thread is way too early, wait a little or continue?

>>43406744
>>Do we look like the the seed you trigger happy fuck?

Morning Snow

>>43406818
Hey Snow. Meh, let's continue man, we have two players now. If we are lucky, maybe more people will appear.

Also, i'm starting to like Mile. He is a racist asshole, but he's funny and trigger happy, which is cool.

"I said drop your weapons!"

"I will ignore your serious lack of respect now, sonny." Richard intervened "We are waiting for Zimmerman. He is late. If you are so kind you would help our little Missy too. A simple vest is no match for the guardians, am i right?" He started to smoke right in front of them. No fucks were given.

"You know the doctor? " The guard lowered his weapon "Just stay where you are." The vault door was slowly opened. The guard rushed inside leaving you with the other ones.

Two approached Rein later on. they obviously knew what they were doing. A few cuts here and there loosened the vest. The guards reclaimed the dangerous vest a payment of sorts, Rein has happy to get rid of her cage.

The guard turned back to you after a while "I am sorry, sir. We had to follow strict protocols after a certain incident. Please wait until the doctor is ready."

>Incident?
>[Say nothing]
>I want to talk with your superior, the shit you have done is not excusable.
>other


>>43406838
hello anon

>>43406963
>>Huh... Incident?

>>43407041
"10 have died at the lower levels from.While we are not exactly sure about who is behind this, We believe something was smuggled in Eden." The Vault door soon reopened revealing a husk of a man in a lab coat. His skin was paler and colder than ash. He lost most of his hair. Only some patches remain here and there. "Sorry for...keeping you waiting." his breath had a sharp wheeze.

>It is nothing, Doc
>You sure you are okay?
>Are you up for the journey? you can deliver whatever you want to Del.
>[Say nothing]
>other

>>43407148
>It is nothing, Doc
>You sure you are okay?

>>43407432
"Yes, yes...We should go now." he found some difficulty in replying.

"Not without the caps." said Mile "I see you, the package and a small bag but no caps. "We don't do it for free."

>He is right.
>Come the fuck on, Mile
>[Say nothing]
>other

>>43407533
>>[Say nothing]

>>43407596
"They will be transferred to your headquarters the soon this package reach its destination. My brother will deliver the caps. please, we have to get...going." Zimmerman coughed up a little.

"Sounds good enough for me." said Richard. Mile want to object but he chose silence this time.

>[Continue onwards to Del]
>We can start tomorrow, if you want
>You still look like shit, you sure about this?
>what is in the package?
>why can't you let someone else deliver it?
>other

>>43407677
>[Continue onwards to Del]
>So... Richard, that was some fancy shooting back there. Where did you learn to do that?

>>43407677
>>[Continue onwards to Del]

>>43407809

>>43407688
Zimmerman's pace was extremely poor; he would stop every 30 minutes or so. Mile was getting irritated by him while Rein didn't mind him much. She was awfully happy without her vest.

"You are pretty good." Richard was checking one of his revolvers "where did you learn to do that?"

"My pa was one hell of a man. he could shoot you before you could blink. I will never be good as him. what was your Pa like, Richard?"

>I don't want to talk about it
>Never met him.
>an asshole.
>[say nothing]
>other

>>43407823
>>Never met him.
Heard he was killed in an ambush by some raiders before i was born.

>>43407970
"Sorry to hear that." he offered you a cigarette "Maybe it was for the best. You just don't know it."

Rein was trying to help Zimmerman who was falling back "So what about this innocent lady? are you going to continue this lie?"

>Not your business.
>I just don't know
>we will see
>Yeah, it is about time to tell her. there is no vest around this time
>She is too pure for a crackhead like me. I will tell her
>I don't know....i have never been...loved. Her unconditional love is stirring something inside me.
>And I love her back. you just don't see it, Richard
>[say nothing]
>other

>>43408077
>>She is too pure for a crackhead like me. I will tell her. But... I don't know....i have never been...loved. Her unconditional love is stirring something inside me. Shit, this is some weird shit.

>>43408077
>She just clinging to me because she doesn't have anything else. I just have to find her something that doesn't involve blowing herself up.

>>43408102
"I have rarely seen it myself. Maybe because she is too young and naive in this world. Either way, I will respect your choice whatever it may be." The sun set as Richard finished his sentence.

Since Zimmerman was too tired to continue, Richard said it was enough for today. the lack of thick layers of snow around Eden made it easier to camp for the night. Rein shared some of her noodles with you. you kept spilling some on the floor due to your trembling hands. it wasn't as bad as before but you could feel it growing stronger.

>Sleep alone
>Sleep with Rein
>Take fixer tablet
>Speak with___
>open radio
>volunteer for guard duty
>other


>Sleep

>>43408266
>>Sleep alone

>>43408266
>Take fixer tablet
>Sleep alone

>>43408375
When Rein invited you to sleep by her side. you polite refused. She stuttered for a moment but she respected your wish.

Before sleeping, you popped up one of the fixer tablets. it was somewhat refreshing to take it. you had a nice, uninterrupted sleep.

.

The next day had a slow start with Zimmerman doing his best to keep up. it took you a couple of hours to reach the main road.

you came close to the walls of Fienda Landa. Perhaps one day, you would visit this cesspool.

You came across an unfortunate scene. a small family lied dead on the road with parts of their necks, arms and legs making a large swelling. A lone wild dog approached the corpses, After a quick sniff. it left the soon-to-be bloated corpses.

>loot them
>ignore them
>other

>>43408606
>loot them
i hope they won't explode...

>>43408606
>>loot them
Sure, sure.

>>43408606
> So... Do you think it's safe to go near them?
If so
>Loot them
and then
> Bury them.

>>43408904
>>43408919

>>43408748
"Wait," Richard stopped you "I have seen this a couple of time, none had a good ending."

"Come on, Uncle, Nigger is right...for once." Mile approached the corpses

"Stop...These are Ca-Cazador live nets... they evolved to use fresh corpses. What little heat left will accelerate the maturation process. they can hatch within minutes " Zimmerman coughed more "any movement is not advised near the live nest"

"Well shit," Mile backed away "Can we at least snatch something real quick?"

>you heard them, Mile.
>Don't risk it.
>they look poor anyways
>[Quickly snatch what valuables they had on them] [Roll 1d100]
>[Say nothing]
>[shoot the corpses]
>other

>>43408919
words of wisdom
plus with Zimmerman being that slow we probably will have the time to catch up easily

>>43409017
>you heard them, Mile.
yeah, let's not risk getting in a swarm without a flamer

>>43409017
>>you heard them, Mile.

>>43409043
>>43409053
"Fuck it." Mile may be an asshole but the man listened to reason.

"Do you hear something?" he pulled out his shotgun. A buzzing sound surrounded you from all direction, you couldn't pin point its location. The ongoing small blizzard didn't make it easier.

Judging from the sound, you felt like there is about a dozen of these devils sulking around.

>Stick behind me doctor
>[Blindly shoot with____] [Roll 1d100 LCK=4]
>They will fuck us here, let's go!
>[Stand your ground, pull __ out]
>[Try to pinpoint the source] [Roll 1d100 PER=6]

Rolled 77 (1d100)

>>43409197
>[Try to pinpoint the source] [Roll 1d100 PER=6]
and i guess it's time to try our new sniper rifle

Our PER is 7 my bad

Overall result= 91 [Success]

The Buzzing sound was completely deceiving. there were four buried in the snow making low buzzes while the fifth out was flying low all around you. Its presence was mostly masked by the distance, its small size and the weak blizzard. You pulled out your junk sniper rifle, held your Breath and took a shot.

the recoil from the rifle was awful but it did obliterate the flying devil. the other four sprang out of their hideout. They flew towards the group in an erratic fashion.

You, Rein, Mile and Richard rained death upon them. While you were busy, Two sprang behind the group. they remained silent till now. One was already toppled off Zimmerman while the other knocked the unsuspecting ex-seed.

There was little time to react.

"RICHARD, ZIMMERMAN!"

Shooting from this close distance made the shot entirely inaccurate. The bullet went through the base of its wing but the accompanying forces toppled the Cazador away from Rein who turned it into a pile of useless goo.

Richard did turn around and put a bullet in its head but it was already late; the Cazador's abdomen was already pulsating as it poured more of its notorious poison in the man's midsection.

"Fuck!" ignoring Zimmerman cries, you pulled the stinger out as fast as you could. none had the proper antivenom to help the doctor.


>Don't give up on me doc! [Pull first aid kit, do whatever you can with it]

"Please...stop. my time is done...."

"Fuck that, we ain-" The dying man grasped your arm tightly.

"Listen. Please...I have been dead for a long time. i accept it. This package goes to real leader of Del. you must deliver it to her personally no matt-gah!" He coughed more blood but he still had it in him.

"...matter what.Tell them you want to see the mother, Delilah. they should let you in...tell to my brother to find a woman called Elizabeth Mark in new Oasis. She...she will fit right in...." the man's eyes rolled out. His lifeless eyes stared at the heavens.

"Shit..." Mile was speechless for a second "Do you think his brother will repay us? we ARE going to deliver the package."

You did look through his pockets, the only thing of importance you could find was an old photograph. Seven men and two women smiled . All of them wore lab coats. there was nothing on the back on the photo.

With no shovel, It wasn't easy to dig but you managed to. You buried the man. Grim silence settled amongst you.

Also, fuck you guys for picking random suicide girl over THE Dr. Zimmerman.

What is wrong with you?

>>43410502
>>43410548
you like many other in the wastes were atheists. you didn't believe these nutjobs who spew nothing but lies around them.

You left Zimmerman's corpse behind. The pace was of course much faster afterwards. The road was hollowed and empty. you covered a good distance till nighttime.

you ate 1 old world food, drank some water and consumed 1 fuel canister for the night.

Statistically speaking, Rein would have survived better if she was the one who took the sting. She also has a plasma weapon while Zimmerman was armless. He died so quickly because he was on the verge of his death with shit overall health.

I am not the one to choose however.

>>43410743
>>43410762
Richard and Mile guarded you a couple of times. you felt obliged to do the same. Richard kept the package which was a small box next to him.

You sat alone admiring the beauty of the stars for a while until Rein sat next to you.She wanted to cuddle with you "I am sorry for putting you through this..."

>Not now Rein, go back to sleep
>It wasn't me thinking...
>Should have saved Zimmerman

"...It was this." you point at your beating heart. you asked yourself, was it? was it really 'love' not some sexual drive for pussy? a storm of conflict brew inside you.

The next moment, you found yourself Kissing Rein, her petit lips sent warmth among yours.

>Go to sleep, Rein.
>Please, Not now.
>[Break the kiss, say nothing]
>[Continue kissing her]
>[Go beyond Kissing]
>Other

>>43411181

"O-oh. I understand..." She gave you a quick peck before going back to sleep. you stay awake for two hours until Richard woke up. he approach you with a small can.

"Drink this , kid. you deserve this for acting like a man."

"How did yo-"

"I sleep with one eye open....figuratively speaking. You should do the same. Might save you one day." you thanked the man of this strong drink before going to sleep.


And that concludes our threat, sorry it was a short one.Thank you for participating.

>>43411181
>[Continue kissing her]

>>43411407
thanks for running

>>43411422
no problem anon. I should mention that we (Richard) are in our early thirties while Rein is in her early twenties so there is a decent age gap.

>>43411464
well, she's above 10 so it won't stop me...

>>43411407
Thanks for running.

This quest keeps giving me anxiety attacks.

>>43411489
sorry anon.

Nothing will actually. This is how the wastes and our human nature goes.

I know i pressed on this topic early on but still If i wrote anything related to a sexual intercourse, it will be regarded as part of the whole adult theme of the thread. People die, OD, fuck and kill each other in the wasteland. this will not be regarded as smut.
