Chapter 1

>: The sun blazes over Junktown and the wasteland. The gas station is oddly busy today and so is the town. The house on the hill is filled with a happily married couple.
Michael wonders how there is still a gas station/
Michael looks at the gas station from the junktown pawn shop.
Wolf hums a Gringo Like me, going on a walk with his two sons.
A.A.B sits on a hill with his partner, seemingly smashing down trees and watching down roll down the hill.
Michael stuffs his newly gained whiskey bottle into his pocket.
>: Dominic watches outside his window at Scraptown down the hill. His wife happily naps on a couch as Stephanie reads a book outside.
Vanna races as fast as she can through the town, panting, with cuts all over her.
>: Ellen wanders around, near Johann and his two sons.
Wolf turns to his two children.
Michael punts a rat crossing his path.
Vanna looks down at her wrist, a wire poking into it.
>: Ellen skips towards Johann and the two kids, not even noticing them.
Wolf always aware, hears the skipping.
Vanna bolts as fast as she can, trying to get as far from people and the town as possible.
Michael sits down in a lounge chair, just next to the gas station, in the open lot.
>:: Ellen: *sining* Don't you want somebody to love...
A.A.B kicks down the charred sticks, and places his hand over his weapon.
Wolf turns and lets himself smile...
Vanna makes it to the edge of the down, and pulls out the wire, which leads down through the skin on her arm, back out, and onto a small boxlike thing on her chest.
Vanna: *town
Michael: *Suddenly, a rat apprears, hitting Wolf*
Michael: *It is a dead rat.*
Vanna winces as the wire rips her skin open, but continues.
Wolf punts it.
Wolf: Hey...
Wolf speaks to Ellen...
>: Ellen stops nearly passing Johann.
>:: E: Yes?
Michael: *The rat flies across the town, hitting vanna in the back of the head.
A.A.B Thel jumps down from the hill, shaking a ruined car nearby, Alexander walks down calmly, chuckling.
Vanna drops the bomb, which is now beeping loudly, and begins to runfrom it.
Vanna: *run from
Wolf removes his hat,.
>: Dominic watches Vanna.
Wolf has slightly longer hair then last time.
Vanna screams "GET AWAY!" at the top of her lungs, and in the middle of it, the bomb goes off, sending her flying about 30 feet and killing anybody near it.
Michael sees the explosion.
>:: E: Nee- *She falls to the ground from the blast.*
Michael falls out of his chair.
Wolf stumbles...
Michael: Fuckingwoahshit.
>: The kids fall down.
Wolf looks at his children, blinking.
A.A.B looks towards the explosion. "The hell?"
A.A.B: T: I say we check it out.
Vanna crashes to the ground, still half conscious and panting.
Michael jogs towards the smoke where the bomb was.
A.A.B Thel begins to run towards the explosion.
>: People scream, a man crawls to his missing torso.
A.A.B races after him, "Wait up!"
Michael: *Rocket Rat was vaporized, R.I.P Rocket Rat.*
Wolf grabs his children lifting them up gingerly.
>:: D: Maria and Stephanie, stay here! *He runs towards town.*
>: Ellen gets up.
>:: E: Oh my god, what happened?!
Wolf Unexplained Force; Ressurects rocketrat.
Vanna is crying.
A.A.B they both make it there, Thel'Adam begins looking around.
Wolf: Simply put.
Wolf: Explosives.
>: Gives Johann a No Shit Sherlock look.
Wolf puffs a Djarum Cigarrette.
Vanna tries to get to her feet and continue running, but stumbles and falls again.
A.A.B The mutant picks up an injured man, carrying him over to a shed.
Wolf: So, Ellen, shall we check it out?
>:: Ellen: How do yo- Johann?! Is that you?!
A.A.B spots vanna, and begins to walk towards her, Gun in left hand, ready to pull the trigger.
Wolf: Yes...
Wolf grins vaguely.
Michael: *Rocket Rat flies off playing Rocket Man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=891CBnRQlrk&feature=related*
>:: Matthew: *To Joshua* Isn't that our mommy's name?!
>:: Joshua: *To Johann.:* Is that our Mommy?
Vanna puts her arms up innocently, eyes pleading.
>: Dominic makes it to town.
A.A.B extends his left hand to her. "Get up."
Wolf: Yes...my darlings.
Wolf: Mein Leibelings.
Vanna tries to stand, but stumbles again.
Michael looks at all the injured people.
>: Matthew hugs Ellen tightly, Ellen having a fake smile on her face.
A.A.B Thel walks over to Vanna, helping her up.
A.A.B: T: Are you alright?
>:: E: Lets go see if we can help...
Vanna shakes her head, quivering.
>: Ellen runs to the explostion.
Wolf stares at her, dullily...not feeling too good at the moment.
Wolf picks his kids up, putting them on his shoulders and walking casually.
>: The small hotel burns, people inside scream as they burn.
>: People rush patients out of the small hospital as it cautches fire due to it being next to the hotel.
Michael: This town's going to hell.
A.A.B Thel rushes over to them, trying to help out the best he can.
Michael notices the small hospital on fire.
Michael: Bullshit.
A.A.B: Mhm..Over one explosion.
>: People get buckets of water from the well and try putting it out.
Vanna regains her sense and begins running again.
A.A.B turns back to Vanna. "H-Hey!"
Wolf watches...and sets his children down.
Vanna realizes she's covered in blood and stops, as the deep cut from the wire extends from her wrist all the way up past her elbow pours blood onto her t shirt.
>:: Ellen: You! Little people! Stay here while your dad and I try to help!
>: she joins with the people trying to put out the fire.
Wolf watches Ellen, wondering if he should...
>:: Matthew: I wanna help!
A.A.B Thel returns back from the smoke, several people in hand, letting them onto the floor.
A.A.B: T: Most are alive..the rest are unfortunate.
Vanna passes out, losing a fatal amount of blood.
Wolf: You are too young...
>: screams come from the house on top of the house, then suddenlt, the supports under that house that was hanging over the cliff break and part of the house tumbles down the cliff.
>:: on top of the hill*
A.A.B: These people are gone Thel. Nothing We can do about it now.
>:: D: *To Vanna.* Hey, you. Wake up. Stay awake.
Wolf: Mein Leibelings...close your eyes
A.A.B he sighs in sadness. "Lets get out of here."
Vanna groans and opens her eyes, looking up at Dominic.
Vanna: Run away..
>: sets her on her back, bandageing her arm up with his pocket health kit he carries around. It bears a worn out Amrahd symbol.
Vanna: He's.. coming..
Vanna has tears rolling down her cheeks.
>:: D: Who is?
A.A.B Thel walks over to Alexander, placing him onto his shoulders, Thel grifieingly saying, "Sadly these people do not remember me as much.."
A.A.B He begins to walk away from the so-called town.
Vanna coughs.
>: Matthew watches the chaos as Joshua closes his eyes.
>: Dom didn't notice his home yet.
>: The gas station explodes.
A.A.B: T: Sadly I do not remember the people as well.
Wolf: You are too young...
Vanna: I'm.. so.. sorry.. Dominic...
Vanna passes out again, before she can explain how she knows who he is.
>:: Dom: Wha- *He continues working on her arm.*
A.A.B they approach up to Dominic.
>: Mathew ignores Johann and watches.
Wolf sighs...
>: Shooting is heard going on at the gas station then it ceases are trucks drive away.
Vanna A few helicopters can be seen hovering overhead.
Vanna Random civilians fall to the ground as they are sniped from above.
Michael looks at the helicopters, and begins to run to any cover left.
Michael: Shit, shit shit.
A.A.B observes the helicopters above. "Wonder what their up to.."
>:: Jake: Ellen! In here! Quick! *Ellen runs into Jake's home.*
>: Joshua and Matthew scream as they hear the shooting.
Wolf picks up his children, and take them to cover.
Wolf: STAY HERE MEIN LEBELINGS.
A.A.B they hover over Dominic.
A.A.B: T: The woman is dead, or injured?
>:: D: Injured, she should be okay.
Vanna A few bullets barely miss Dominic, obviously an intention warning.
>: Dominic falls over, and scrambles away from Vanna.
A.A.B turns around.
A.A.B thel places Alexander on the ground, and readies his warhammer.
Wolf keeps them covered.
Michael leans out of his cover to take a potshot at the helicopter cockpit.
A.A.B: T: Watch this.
A.A.B Thel throws his warhammer at a helicopter with great force.
Michael: *Your possibly going to lose that hammer*
Vanna wakes up, among the chaos, and weakly stands.
Wolf holds his people
>:: Jake: I haven't seen you in so long Ellen.
>:: Ellen: I kno- Shaun?! you're here to?!
A.A.B sees the hammer hit the tail of the chopper.
>:: Shaun: Ai. *He glares at Jake.*
>:: D: My house...Maria! Stephanie!
A.A.B: Did you have to show off?
>: Dom runs to his home.
Wolf stands up, climbing out with his kids
A.A.B: T: It helps...I wish I can smile once more..
>: Trucks begin pulling up intown. More blockade the roads.
Wolf: Stay close.
>: They begin taking people by force, shooting anyone who tries to attack them.
A.A.B: T: Look!
Vanna attempts to run to the town, but is slowed down by her injuries.
>: They break down Jake's house's door. They scream for them all to get into the truck, they knock Jake and Shaun unconcious and drag Steph and Ellen into the truck by their hair. Lisa screams as the throw her in without her bear. Her bear lays on the ground, alone.
A.A.B he berserk charges down to the town, crashing and tackling anything thats in his way.
A.A.B rushes after, firing some rounds.
>: They fire at them.
>: Some men grab Johann and his kids.
A.A.B stays behind thel.
A.A.B He begins to rip apart the people firing at them.
Michael is the third major character not to get capture yet.
>: A man grabs Mi-
Vanna is dragged into one of the trucks.
>: a man grabs Michael and drags him into a truck.
Wolf growls, keeping his kids close.
A.A.B Thel chases after the man grabbing michael, "LET HIM GO!" He viciously yells.
>: A heli snipes Thel a tranquilizer and another man knocks out Alexander.
A.A.B falls over.
A.A.B Thel takes a brief hit, keeps moving, dazed.
>: A few trucks drive off once they're fully loaded with maximum capacity. Some trucks are even taking the dead bodies.
>: The sniper shoots another tranquilizer at Thel.
A.A.B he raises his fist at the man grabbing michael before getting hit again, he falls on the man.
Vanna The trucks pick up everybody in the town, shooting down everybody ele.
Vanna: *else
>: A bunch of men carry thel into a truck.
>: The trucks drive off, leaving the town empty and burning.
Vanna: *Everything goes black*
Wolf has, held his children close, weapons secreted.











Vanna Everyone soon wakes up in a room, completely empty handed. They have no weapons, just the clothes on their backs. The room is completely black with no windows and evidently no doors.
Michael looks around the room.
Michael: I can't see shit.
Wolf feels around for his kids...
A.A.B.: Shush.
Michael: Anyone there?
Vanna: I am.
>: His kids aren't htere.
A.A.B.: Someone can be observing us.
Wolf: Allooo?
Michael tries to feel for a wall.
A.A.B. lets out a loud "Shh!"
Vanna says something in Italian.
>:: Lauren: Where are we?
A.A.B.: Quiet quiet.
Michael touches the cold metal wall and slides along it, looking for a switch of some sort.
>:: Lauren: It's so cold in here. Where is my shit?
A.A.B. looks around, whispering. "Where is everyone? Tell locations.."
Vanna a robotic female voice can be heard over a scratchy loudspeaker repeating "System Failure," but it stops after a few minutes.
Michael more frantically searches for a light switch.
Michael: That can't be good.
A.A.B. shh's the person making sounds against the walls.
Vanna No lightswitches can be found.
A.A.B.: Quiet...Quiet.
Michael: What's the point of being quiet?
>:: Lauren: Okay, this is totaly not funny.
A.A.B.: Unless you want to get shot first, be my guest.
>:: Lauren: Where the fuck is my dad?
Michael: Why do you think we're gonna get shot?
Michael: There's not doors.
Michael: No doors.
Michael: No openin.....
>:: Lauren: WHO EVER THE HELL THOSE HANDS ARE, GET THEM OFF MY ASS!
Michael trails off.
A.A.B.: No light either.
Vanna The room suddenly lights up, revealing everybody to be in a clean, white room.
Michael: Vents?
>:: Lauren: Oh jesus christ! MY EYES!
Michael blinks.
>:: Lauren: My pupils don't dilate that fast!
Wolf opens his right eye...
Vanna The room is empty except for an observation deck closer to the high ceiling.
Wolf reaches into his coat, for his pistol with his left hand, to find an empty holster
Michael looks up.
Michael: What do they want from us?
Vanna hasn't said a word; she just sits in the corner, as if she's been through this a million times before.
A.A.B. the hat blocks the light, slowly moving his head towards the observation room.
Vanna stands up, brushing herself off.
Vanna: I'm sorry I had to put you all through this.
Wolf: /me's hat is cockeyed.
>:: Lauren: Hey, you. The girl with the whole calmness.
Wolf 's
>:: Lauren: You seem to know what's going on.
Vanna nods, observing the room.
Vanna: I don't think they've put me in this one yet...
Vanna: I can get out of most of them, though.
Vanna: Are you all alive and okay?
Vanna: Usually, I'm with a bunch of corpses..
A.A.B.: Yeah..wheres Thel?
Vanna seems to be talking more to herself.
Wolf: Yes. I am ine...
Wolf: fine...
Wolf: Where are my children?
>:: So, you know what's going on?
Vanna: Probably dead.
Michael slams his fist on the metal wall, cursing.
Vanna: That won't do any good..
A.A.B.: Ah shit..Not thel.
Wolf: MY...kids are...
Wolf: Dead?
Vanna: I said probably, calm down.
Michael looks around for ANY sort of opening.
Vanna: Unless they can hold their arsenic well.
Wolf 's muscles tighten.
A.A.B.: Hey, calm down.
Vanna: Or do alright when exposed to high amounts of radiation...
Michael does he find any opening
>:: Lauren: Wait...what do you mean? Arsenic?
>:: Lauren: Oh god.
A.A.B.: Whatever is happening we need to work together.....and someoneo seems to know whats going on.
Vanna: You know, the poiso-
Michael: Where are we getting our air?
Vanna vents in the ceiling open up as a foggy gas fills the room.
Vanna: Oh god, nobody breath!
A.A.B. looks directly at Vanna. "So you show us what to do-"
Vanna: *breathe
>: Lauren drops to the ground.
Michael thinks "Well, there were vents.
A.A.B. quickly covers his mouth and nose with this scarf.
>: She stays low.
Wolf drops down, covering his mouth with a bandana
Michael hits the deck.
Vanna frantically searches around the room.
>: She begins to cough.
Wolf does not breathe.
Wolf does not breathe DEEP.
Vanna finds a latch on the ground and opens it.
Vanna: This way!
Wolf lowcrawls over.
Michael combat crawls over for some reason.
Vanna heads down into a hatch by way of a tall laddar in the ground.
A.A.B. ties the scarf into a knot, and stands up.
Michael: Great, we have to escape from god knows what in a facility god knows where.
Wolf follows along.
A.A.B.: Yup.
Wolf: What happened to my pistol?
A.A.B. follows third.
Michael grasps a rung on the ladder.
Michael: Maybe some creation's escaped.
>: Lauren begins to crawl but passes out.
A.A.B.: I say we hit the weapons deck first, then find any others.
Vanna gives Lauren a strange look.
Vanna: I'm pretty sure that gas was harmless..
Vanna: They like to play with people's minds.
Wolf catches her...
Wolf sighs... holding her.
Wolf: More vheight...
A.A.B.: Just drop her down.
Wolf: It is wrong to let women fall...
Michael climbs down the ladder.
Vanna reaches the bottom of the laddar, which is a long hallway.
Wolf has a set of morals...
A.A.B.: Not like that idiot.
Vanna: Its not that far down, you can make it!
A.A.B.: Hey, I've been frozen for who knows. I dont evne know what the hell is going on.
Wolf slides down.
Wolf: Same here.
Michael jumps off the ladder a couple of feet from the ground, landing just behind Vanna.
Wolf: Funny aint it?
Michael: Not much light.
A.A.B.: Well then you probally know more then me.
A.A.B. slides down the ladder.
Wolf wears cutoff gloves
Michael: We need flashlights or glowsticks or something, this hallway is dark.
Wolf: You
Wolf: Miss
Vanna: Its not too dark...
Wolf talks to vanna
Vanna: We'll be fine, follow me.
Michael: *The hallway's pretty dark.*
Wolf: What happened to my stuff.
Michael: How should she know?
A.A.B. follows along, fists prepared to punch at who knows what is coming.
Wolf: Those were heirlooms...
Vanna: I don't know.
Vanna: I'm sorry.
A.A.B.: Wait, what about others?
Vanna: Who?
A.A.B.: The kids? Thel'Adam?
Vanna: Probably in a different test chamber.
Michael: They're somewhere.
Michael: Right now isn't the time for questions.
Michael: We've got to get moving.
A.A.B.: Good point.
Wolf: My children...
A.A.B.: Relax buddy.
Wolf: Ellen, wheres Ellen?
Michael: *There is a fluorescent light flickering further down the hallway.*
Michael continues to move forwards.
Wolf: Was is das?
Michael: What the hell?
Michael looks at Wolf.
>:: Was ist das*
Wolf: ist,*
A.A.B. unties his scarf, and looks around.
Vanna: I'm sure you're all wondering whats happening to you..
Vanna: We're in a facility called Black Science.
Vanna: They're purpose is basically to do a series of tests on random people, in order to improve humanity.
A.A.B.: Reminds me of that pavano guy..nevermind, Lets get going.
Michael: Dieses ist gerade kompletter Bullshit, wir erhalten zu überleben, während andere Leute sterben, warum can' t gerade jeder Phasen?
Wolf: Th...thhhey burn...ssuch delicate tortures of the mind and soul.
Michael: What?
A.A.B.: What in the fuck is wrong with you?
Vanna: They do several social and mental tests, as well as physical tests.
Michael: Jedermann sprechen Deutsches?
Wolf: JA, sprechen Deutsch, but not often...
A.A.B. curses in italian.
Michael: Let's just keep movin'.
Vanna looks at Alex, understanding.
Vanna They come upon the end of the hall, which is just a door.
Michael: Oh gut. Das Ende.
Vanna: Alright, enough with the German.
Vanna: Lets get out of here...
Michael: That's russian!
Wolf: Wheres my gun?
Wolf: And my sword.
Vanna sighs, frustrated.
Michael looks at wolf.
A.A.B. kicks at the door
Vanna: Alright, have fun on your own.
Michael: Wer weiß?
Vanna turns around and seems to dissappear down the hall.
Michael turns back to the door.
Wolf sees Michael...
Wolf: ...
Michael: Hey genious, try the handle.
Wolf opens the door...
Michael was talking to alex
Vanna *The door leads to another hallway and a staircase, two options for a path"
A.A.B.: And what if something awaits us behind the door, what if a armed person?
Wolf: Then we all fuckin die.
A.A.B.: You either open or get shot, or kick it down and let it hit the person.
A.A.B.: Hm, Option two sounds better.
Michael: Hey, does it look like we have any choice anyways?
Wolf: Either way.
Michael: Just move!
Michael: Let's see.
Michael: The hallway is just straight forward.
Michael: Probably leads to a dead end.
Michael: We want to get to ground level.
Vanna Screams can be heard at the top of the stairs.
Wolf: UGH...
Michael: Hallway it is then!.
A.A.B.: C'mon, get moving.
Michael motions towards the hallway.
Wolf walks down the hallway...
A.A.B. follows along, watching their six.
Michael what do they come along
Vanna At the end of the hallway, there are two paths, left and right. At the end of one path is a door, at the other, another staircase.
Michael waits for screams at the top of the staircase.
Vanna: *Silence*
Michael turns towards alex and johann.
A.A.B. stops.
A.A.B.: Ah crap innersection..
Michael: We'll, we're in a pickle here.
Michael tries to open the door.
A.A.B. turns torwards them.
Vanna The female, robotic voice comes back onto the loudspeakers and repeats "System Failure" four times.
A.A.B.: Huh?
Michael: Not good.
Michael shakes the handle, but to no avail, it does not open.
A.A.B.: Second option is helpful to you know.
>: little kids screams can be heard.
A.A.B.: Must be your kids.
Michael: Upstairs.
Vanna The door opens to reveal a closet, out of which a corpse of a young woman resembling Vanna falls.
Michael: wha
Michael jumps back.
Michael: Fuck fuck fuck!
A.A.B. moves backward as the corpse falls onto her face.
Wolf looks at it...
Michael: Stairs! Go.
Michael: We got no business here.
A.A.B.: Lets move.
Michael rushes up the stairs.
Wolf says a few words under his breath, makes the cross, and goes up the stairs...
Wolf checks the closet first
A.A.B. walks to Wolf. "You alright?"
Vanna At the top of the stairs, another hallway leads to an open door, which leads to a room entirely filled with glittery water.
Michael: *You find a corpse, duh.*
>:: *Closet is empty besides the skeleton and a little pyramid with a heart on it.*
Wolf: Remembering ssssomething...
A.A.B.: Cmon man, We dont have time here.
Wolf takes the pyramid.
A.A.B. rushes up the stairs.
Michael: This room's filly with water.
Michael: Filled.
Wolf runs up the stairs.
Michael: Guys! Look!
Vanna Orange and pink fish swim around in the water.
Michael: A fishtank.
Michael: A big ass fishtank.
Michael: And we're at a dead end.
Vanna A small child sits in the corner of the room in the water, which is about three feet deep, and giggles at the fish.
Wolf looks at the child.
A.A.B. looks at the child.
Michael: Maybe we're supposed to swim across.
Michael is looking at the child.
Vanna The room has another door in it, which leads to another hallway.
Wolf walks towards him, holding out the pyramid
Michael: Again with the hallway.
Michael: s.
A.A.B.: I hate mazes.
>:: Lisa: Fishies! Come here pinky!
Wolf waves it.
>: The pink fish comes by, and her jaw opens wide and reveals sharp teeth as it devours the fish in seconds.
A.A.B.: Oh..holy shit..
Michael pushes Alex and Johann towards the door.
Michael: Time to go.
Vanna The next hallway is a balcony-type hall with a railing hovering over an even larger water pool; this one is about 30 feet deep. In it, there are large sharks. At the end of that hallway is a closed, but not locked door, through which crying can be heard.
Wolf grabs the child first.
A.A.B. kicks the door down.
Michael pushes the child off of Wo.f
Michael: wolf
Wolf carries lisa with him...
Michael: *
Wolf: STOP
Michael: It's a monster.
Wolf: She's just a child.
A.A.B.: That kid just ate a fish within seconds, shell bite your atm off.
Michael: You know.
Michael: Don't be an idiot.
>: She melts in acid.
Michael: This place is weird.
A.A.B. rushes and kicks johann away, making him drop the child before it melts.
Wolf: SCHIESSE!
Michael: Shut up!
Michael: Well shit.
Michael: Now there's a pool a sharks.
Michael: And a door.
Wolf: TttthIsss Willl Be a NigHt To Remember....
Michael elbows Johann.
A.A.B.: I saved your life asshole..anyway.
Wolf puts the pyramid in his pocket.
Michael: Don't act stupid.
A.A.B.: Climb the railings.
Michael: These scientists are trying to fuck us over.
Vanna Somebody observant could see a camera on the other side of the shark tank.
Michael: This is obviously an obstacle course.
Michael: They're watching us, probably right now!
A.A.B.: Alright, lets climb the railings.
Vanna The railing only leads to the shark tank.
Michael: If the sharks come for you, punch their noses.
A.A.B.: ...N-Nevermind.
Michael: We have to go.
Michael: Remember, punch their noses if they come near.
>: Ellen runs towards them, wires dangling from her skin. She screams from the top of her lungs towards Johann and them.
Wolf looks at her and runs towards her...
A.A.B.: What the fu-
A.A.B. turns around in shock.
Michael grabs Johann before he can.
Wolf: Ellen!
>: A tile opens up as a robot claw grabs her ankle and pulls her away, screaming as she is pulled into the tile and it seals shut.
Michael: She's a living bomb!
Wolf: LET GO!
Michael: It's too late.
Wolf: FUCK YOU!
Michael: We must go.
Michael: We have to get out of here anyways.
Wolf screams...
Wolf: ELLEN!!!
A.A.B. runs to them. "Jesus christ..
A.A.B.: What in the hell is going on.
A.A.B.: Robots, sharks, fucked up kid.
Michael: There's a door at the end of the fishtank.
Michael: And then there will be cake.
Michael: Nah not really.
Michael: But let's go.
Michael prepares the dive into the shark tank.
>: a body floats by in the shark tank. A door at the end of a hallway says TIXE
Wolf: Whad did they......do to ellen...
A.A.B.: Woah.
A.A.B.: Hold it.
Michael: TIXE spells exit backwards.
A.A.B.: I know that. But still.
Michael: Do we have a choice?
A.A.B.: We dont know how fast these sharks can swim.
A.A.B.: Infact, that door can LEAD us into a trap.
Michael: Look at our options.
Vanna Suddenly, "Safety Dance" blares over the loudspeakers.
Michael: We can rave, or we can escape.
Vanna The music stops.
A.A.B.: Alright.
A.A.B.: Count to three.
Michael: One.
A.A.B.: We both go..
Wolf: EIN
A.A.B.: Two.
Wolf: ZWEI
>: Speakers beging to count with them.
Michael: Remember to punch theirn noses!
A.A.B.: Three! GO!
Wolf: DREI
Wolf rushes,
A.A.B. dives into and makes a fast swim.
>: Once they get in, the wate begins to drain.
Michael dives into it, swimming towards the door intently.
>:: water*
Michael slows down a little, noticing the water draining.
A.A.B.: Oh what the hell..!
Michael looks to see if the shakrs are swimming to them.
>: something tugs Alex's leg.
A.A.B.: What the-
A.A.B. looks to see what is.
>: The water continues to drain, the body gets pulled under by the suction.
>: the water is too murkey to see.
Michael reaches the door.
A.A.B.: The hell? Its not letting go.
Wolf keeps going.
>: The water begins to become a whirl pool.
A.A.B. begins to pull his leg away.
Michael: OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK
>: It pulls tighter.
A.A.B.: Ohh SHIT!
Michael tries to rip the door open, almost ripping it off it's hinges.
A.A.B. struggles to get free.
>: it stops blood from going into his leg.
A.A.B.: Fuck!
Wolf: Hell has no form! It bends to my whim!
>: The water stops and the thing lets go.
Wolf: THE SUN GROWS EVER DARKER.
A.A.B. is pushed away due to the force he used to push the "thing" away.
>: The sign TIXE turns toECNERTNE
Vanna: Loudspeaker Woman: You are not useless. You are not useless. Ou are not useless. U are not useless. Are not useless. Useless. Useless. Useless.
A.A.B. limps to the door.
Wolf opens the door.
Wolf: Entrance?
>: The door shuts behind them once they enter.
Michael had already opened the door.
Michael: So many cliches.
A.A.B.: Agh my leg..
Michael: So many conincidences.
Michael: They don't want to kill us.
Michael: They don't.
Michael: They're testing us.
>: There is a glass box in the middle of the room with the word sacrafice on it.

Michael: A shitty town with no gun shop.
>:: *Sand and dead tress surrond the town. The little buildings and homes are made of dried mud."
Christopher squints in the sun, standing outside of a small shop.
Michael shoves his hands into his pockets.
Michael feels if there is anything in there.
Michael oddly enough pulls out his old 1911A1 and smiles. "Least I still got this."

>: Steph takes it and gets up.
A.A.B. kicks the door with all of his might.
Michael slams his body against it, knocking it off it's hinges with Alex's help.
Michael: Both ways work.
A.A.B. hurries inside.
Christopher: Come on, theres a motel down this street. I've got a room there..
Michael pushes the door back in place.
Michael looks to see if anyone else is inside.
>: Steph grabs his hand and holds onto it.
A.A.B.: I'll search for some bolts.
Christopher smiles at her.
A.A.B. looks around for a nailgun, and bolts hopefully.
Christopher: Are you here with anybody else?
>:: Steph: A lot of people...but we'll round them up later..we don't have time..
Christopher: Alright. Hopefully they get inside..
Michael: *Loose objects and light objects begin to fly around.*
A.A.B. picks up a nailgun off the floor and a clip full off nails. "Sa-weet."
Christopher walks into the motel.
A.A.B. walks to the door and nails it, not to much so it would be easy to break out once again.
Christopher: My rooms down this hall, unless you have the money to get your own.
A.A.B.: Hopefully It'll last...
>:: I don't.
A.A.B.: I'm not in the mood for some asshole to show up.
Christopher guides her down a hall to his room.
Christopher: Sorry, its a little messy..
Christopher unlocks the door and opens it up.
>: The storm hits, all the shacks are covered over with sand, as the buildings are only half covered.
>:: Steph: It's alright.
A.A.B. looks through the ground floor window. "Damn.."
Christopher looks out the window at the raging storm.
Christopher: Wow...
Michael: *Sand begins to rush through the front door, breaking the nails.*
Michael: Oh shit.
Michael backs away.
A.A.B. looks at the door. "Agh fuck a goat!"
Michael looks at Alex.
Michael: You would want to?
A.A.B.: Its just my saying when things get screwd up..Alright?
>:: Steph: So...how did you know my name?
Christopher shakes his head.
Christopher: Long story.
A.A.B. looks around for an entrance to an attic.
>:: Steph: *LookIng at the window.* We have time.
Christopher: Your mom pissed a lot of people off.
Christopher: I knew her...
Christopher: She was wonderful, but she knew how to piss a person off.
Michael: *There is an attic entrance.*
Christopher: I was here in town sent by someone to find her.
A.A.B.: Hey, get over here.
Christopher: And I just happen to do my research.
A.A.B.: Unless you wanna be covered in sand, We go up to the attic.
Michael: It can't get up the steps you know.
>:: Steph: Oh. I see.
Michael: We've got a big bottom floor.
A.A.B.: You never know, but alright. I'll just check whats up here.
Michael sits outside the attic.
A.A.B. heads onto the attic, looking at all sorts of tools and crates.
A.A.B. picks up a knife and throws it down the attic, it stabs to the floor as Alex comes back down.
Michael grabs the knife.
A.A.B.: All I found was shit. Hows the storm coming in so far?
Michael: Umm
Michael looks outside the window, nearly filled to the bottom half with sand.
Michael: Still there.
Michael: Like
Michael: Every house is almost completely covered.
A.A.B. chuckles. "Sucks to be them."
A.A.B. sits down. "Best we can do now is wait it out."
Michael: Our house is too.
A.A.B.: WELL YOU JUST HEAD TO JINX US?
Michael: I said every house, you know.
Michael: Damn.
Michael: We'd need a fucking hazmat suit to go out there.
Michael: Power armor would get all gritty.
A.A.B.: And clothing will turn into shit.
A.A.B.: There is couple of crates in the attic, Didnt check what they contain though.
Michael: Let me go check.
Michael climbs in the attic.
Michael looks at the unchecked crates.
Michael breaks them open with the crowbar and looks inside.
Michael: *Most of them contain nothing.
Michael: *One contains three gas masks.*
Michael: Hmm..
Michael takes one.
Michael tosses one out of the attic.
A.A.B. catches the mask. "Thanks."
Michael: *A small hole in the attic has been feeding a pile of sand nearby.*
Michael: Yeah we sorta got a sand problem here.
A.A.B. climbs up. "What kinda- Ah what the hell.."
Michael: Yeah..
A.A.B. pushes a crate to the small hole.
A.A.B.: Hopefully itll block some..








>: The wind blows the desert sand. Life seems to be nonexistent outside of towns, but that's not the case. Radscorpians seems to be migrating west for some odd reason.
Michael shields his eyes as he watches a king radscorpion pass through the town.
Wolf slings his new equipment...
Michael: Fucking wow...
Wolf taps Micheal over the shoulder...
Wolf: Morning, sleepyhead
Michael is awake you dunce.
Wolf: Come on, say it
Wolf stares
Michael looks at Wolf.
Michael: What.
Emmers! - RECRUITING CHAT RPERS has changed their name to Chris.
Michael: Say what?
Wolf: I want to eat you now.
Wolf: Er, not really
>: Dominic staggers through the sand covered town, himself covered with sand.
Chris looks out the window, only to find that the sand is completely covering it.
Chris: Er... That could be a problem.
Michael: You're odd.
Wolf adjusts his jacket, and places a cloth around his mouth,
Wolf: Yeah,
Wolf: I've been getting up at night, while you were asleep.
Wolf: Thanks for lugging me around.
>:: Steph: Nah. Not at all. All we have to do is let the sand in and hope it's not high or we in here.
>:: die*
Chris shrugs.
Chris: Alright.
Michael cocks his shotgun.
Chris walks over to the window and forces it open, letting sand pour into the room.
Wolf: Hey, woah...
>: Ellen falls through the window, due to the sand pouring in under him.
stands up and aims his thompson. "The hell is going on?"
>:: her*
Michael: Shitloada radscorpions passing through the desert.
>:: Ellen: What the hell?! Who the hell are you?!
Chris looks at Ellen.
Michael: Tons of 'em outsidei n the town.
Chris: No time for twenty questions. We should probably get out of here.
: Oh. Huh.
>:: Ellen: Where the hell is Shaun and Jake and Johann?!
>:: Steph: Outside somewhere I believe.
Wolf kicks a window out.
Chris: Hopefully they aren't buried in sand.
Michael: *Sand pours all over Johann, covering him.*
chuckles. "Idiot."
Wolf blows sand out of his mouth, climbing out.
Wolf: ACK
Wolf: SCHIESSE!
Michael: Think twice.
Wolf: IS there an upstairs?
Chris climbs out the window, where the sand is packed enough that one can walk on it.
A.A.B: Well, Theres an attic if you want to cry alone.
Wolf sighs,
Chris holds out his hand to Steph.
Chris: Coming?
Wolf: Let me up there then.
>: Steph takes it and climbs up, Ellen behind her.
A.A.B: Sure.
A.A.B shows him the ladder the leads up to the attic.
A.A.B: Just dont move the crates.
Wolf climbs up in...
Wolf: can I get out through the ceiling?
A.A.B: Like I said. Dont move the crates.
A.A.B: Unless you want the same thing to happend again.
Wolf pulls away the crate anyway.
Chris begins walking, heading for nowhere in particular.
>: Dominic passes out on the sand, next to some strange Statue.
Michael: *Sand covers Johann AGAIN.*
Michael heads into the attic.
Wolf jumps through the window.
Wolf yells "ELLEN!"
>: Ellen screams "Who's yelling for me?!
Chris shrugs.
Michael: *There are radscorpions EVERYWHERE.*
Chris: Probably some crazy person.
Michael looks to Alex.
Wolf yells 'YOUR HUSBAND!"
Michael: Johann's the craziest bastard i've ever seen.
A.A.B: Uh-huh..
>:: E: Crap...
Wolf yells 'I'm fine!'
Chris: Is that a bad thing?
A.A.B: Of course your fine, Your screaming out the fucking attic when theres sand covering the whole village and radscoprions everywhere.
>:: E: Once you meet him, you'll understand. *She runs off away from everyone.*
Chris: Bye!
Wolf suddenly has the voice of Postal Dude.
>:: Steph: She'll be back in five seconds.
>:: Steph: She's bipolar with her men.
Chris chuckles.
Wolf doesnt, anyway.
Wolf: Where are you?
Michael: The scorpions are docile, they don't want to attack anyone.
Wolf climbs on the roof,
>:: Steph: It's always Shaun, Jake, and Johann. Sometimes others, but they only last a few hours.
A.A.B takes out the bottle of whiskey hes been given. "Heres to them if they dont attack?"
A.A.B: ..Or crawl in the house.
Wolf flails his arms
Michael: *A radscorpion (baby radscorpion) flies into his face.*
Chris reaches Michael's group.
Wolf an unknown force ressurects...ROCKET RAAAT!
Chris: Do you know them?
Michael: *'Michaels Group' is just him and Alexander.
Michael: Huh?
Wolf disconnected.
Michael: Do I know who?
Chris was talking to Steph.
A.A.B knocks out Johann as he keeps screaming.
A.A.B: Ah there we go.
Michael: Haha.
Chris looks at Johann.
Chris: Well, I'm not carrying him.
Michael: We can leave him here.
Michael: He'll wake up in..
Michael: A couple of hours.
A.A.B: Or days.
Chris chuckles.
Michael: What'd you hit him with, Alex?
A.A.B: The butt of my gun.
Michael: Ouch...
A.A.B: Well WHAT else can knock him out in a couple of days?
Chris: Actually, he should come around in an hour or so.
Chris: Unless you seriously wounded him.
A.A.B: Dont know. I did hit his temple pretty hard though.
Chris kneels beside Johann, opening his eyes and examining the bruise on his head.
Chris: He'll be fine.
Michael: Oooh, he'll be out for half a week if you did that.
A.A.B: Well oops..Ah well.
