>>43723473
>Brawler (Rank 3)
hi snow

might as well start now. You chose Brawler (Rank 3)

You never indulged in deep sleep like this before. Even when you were about to wake up, you were too relaxed to do so. Your body needed another round of sleep and so on.

You did woke up with something breaking down your neck. It was a feral ghoul. It wasn't alone fifteen of its kin surrounded you, Bright Sun and Janus who were sleeping as well.

The rotten sockets primed its attention at the small camp fire Janus has started.

>Go back to sleep

>>43724226
not really, i usually start at 4 pm GMT. Good to see you, sleepy.

"Psst, Bright, wake up." you slowly poked the teenage savage.

"Nuaghh, coldman, i tire...i..." She delved back to sleep ignoring you.

Go back to sleep

You couldn't pinpoint the source. He repeated himself twice "I-i hear something...OVER HERE! in the ghoul's stomach! Come on, I will be no better than a tin can after these two percents!"

>Yeah, my mind is playing tricks on me

you checked for the source once more and you did find it this time. A one legged ghoul was your target. you flipped it and started to gut its. insides.

you literally pulled out a slimy metal ball and four arched pieces of metal from the ghoul.

"At last freedom, Woooooohoooo!" something beeped inside it."oh, it is 1% percent now. My human behavior mimicry centers can sometimes overrides other more important centers...heh." it laughed nervously.

"Now pardon me good sir but I need to stand still for 23 hours and 58 minutes for re-calibrating
and recharging purposes. Initialing protocol S-SD41... "

You heard nothing but lots of buzzing inside the metal sphere. It did spoke after a while but the sound wasn't the same. Unlike the previous young man's voice, this one sounded like the Madame as if it was almost identical "Well, well...eighteen years sure fly by, Y. They sure do.My bio-metric scanners detect two humans within proximity. I guess one of you is our savoir. I , X, thank you, human. I have a small proposal if you are interested...."

>we are actually three

"He agreed on this not me. X won't assume direct control for a long, long time. Touch us and you will turn to ash." the metal ball sparked a little.

"Good. We are based the collective work of a brilliant man called Sinclair but our portable state and our very existence was modified by a woman named Vallie Heartman. Her last know location was here. We only seek information since most of our memory logs were wiped out. The events that lead us to eighteen years of inactivity is still unknown.

"Synth? 75 years? I am detecting 13,571 errors in my logs. lots of definitions are...corrupted.Damn you Y, you can't do anything right." X sighed "Sorting these up is hell on my processors, human." you heard more beeping inside the sphere "Thank you for your help.Kindly would you bring my stabilizers next to us?" she politely asked.

"I have no time to waste, Human." with little recharging it had, the sphere levitated projected a small force field. The stabilizers made sure the sphere was floating inside of the field. Soon, X emitted a hologram in a shape of a flickering blue woman in a fancy dress. She was starting to walk away.

You spouted some gibberish in an attempt to sound like you know it all about her current state of energy "While I understand your concerns, I can manage myself, thank you."

Just like that, she walked away. "Good Job." Janus remarked behind your back. She was been awaken for a while but she chose not to make a scene.

"You could have helped, you know."

"I don't trust machine." She admitted "Whatever she is, she is bad new to us. now, how are you feeling? you went cold for two days."

>two days? damn

"i will get through it, i always had." her wrist were swelled especially her left one. She didn't showed any signs of pain but you knew she was twirling inside "I wanted to ask you about...you know...how are we going to deal with what happened."

>You will tell the truth to everyone, but i doubt Boss will keep you after this. If this is your choice then so be it
>You will tell the truth to Rein. Let her judge us by herself
>Well, we did face some raiders, didn't we? this should explain the stabs and dislocation. None better know about this...even Rein.

"Thank you , Richard for giving me a second chance." Janus couldn't look at you in the eye. She was more or less ashamed from her deeds.

Bright Sun was starting to wake up. Time to head back to Mile 46

And that concludes our semi short thread. thank you for participating.
