	The young punkish girl’s eyes lit up like Christmas trees as she turned, looking up at the towering (at least for someone of her short stature) robot that had been willingly placed under her command. For a moment no intelligible words left her lips as she pressed her hands to the sides of her face and squeed like the teenage girl she was.

	[color=C71585]“My own giant robot to order around? T-this is so cool!”[/color] Cedar practically bounced in place grinning like a loon as she took in the previously rather frightening robot’s features. All fear and hesitancy she had towards the machine vanished once she felt she was in control of the machine. 

	[color=C71585]“I order you to let me ride on your shoulders! And don’t drop me or tear off my head or anything.”[/color] Cedar added, almost as an afterthought.

	Still well within hearing distance Quiet pursued her lips at Lily’s orders. Scouting parties typically worked better when they were small. The more people there were in one the less effective and more easily detected they were likely to be. Quiet couldn’t help the order was simply out of mistrust, Miller had given similar ones regarding her on Mother Base. 

	Yet she couldn’t deny the potential usefulness of the robot. Even with the liability of having an inexperienced young girl at the helm the machine was likely to have far better judgement then the teenager. In a way Julian reminded Quiet a little of the Boss’s D-Walker, albeit bigger and even more humanoid. It was ideal for attack and could be surprisingly concealable when needed. 

	[color=red][i]“If things go badly or we run into something we can’t get away from, the machine will be important to have around.”[/i][/color][h3][color=red][b][MARSTON'S SEARCH RESULTS][/b][/color][/h3]	Approaching the base of the mighty tree Marston would be faced with a thick mess of unfamiliar flora he would have to root through with his hands. It didn't take long to realize most of what he saw was little more then spiny grasses and colorful weeds. Yet amongst the chaff he would quickly begin finding eye catching particulars of note:

	The first was a trio of mushroom growths sticking out the side of the tree's trunk like rounded little platforms. They lacked stems and the typical tell-tale signs of poisonous mushrooms. While less then appearing in appearance they seemed perfectly edible and possibly even quite healthy. Taste on the other hand...

	Then, amongst the grasses, Marston would spot what looked like a bean pod. The biggest and greenest he'd ever seen before. Upon reaching out and pulling it off it's inappropriately thin vine, he would feel the sudden inexplicable urge [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ardSWkEE_Ek&list=PL8D1E4637261C45EF&index=9]to hold the bean pod over his head.[/url]

[b]Baikal Scaly Tooth x3:[/b] Round, flat mushrooms typically found growing out the sides of tree trunks like blunt teeth. It has a less than appealing appearance that matches it’s taste. Your stomach isn’t likely to thank you for this any time soon, but it is edible. What it lacks in taste however it makes up for in protection. The mushroom can be used as an antidote for poison and even it’s raw state can be beneficial to fighting toxins. 

[i][Single use consumable. Moderate [color=green]hunger[/color] satisfaction, minor [color=yellow]stamina[/color] recovery. 50/50 Chance to cure poisons and toxins if consumed raw. Guaranteed antidotal properties if distilled, refined, or used in medicinal brewing. Three in possession.] [/i]

[b]Magic Beans:[/b] Like something out of a fairy tale. A fat green bodied bean pod roughly the size of a banana. Four colorful beans sit inside it’s soft wrappings. One red, one blue, another yellow, and the last a normal green. Despite seeming entirely natural the pod and it’s contents have a strange air to them. 

The beans seem like they could either be planted, most likely in soft soil, or eaten. Though there’s no telling how they would taste.

[/hider][h3][color=red][b][Payne's Loot Results][/b][/color][/h3]Reaching inside the chest and holding what he found to the light, Payne would be greeted with a brief sense of elation. He could practically imagine the item spinning in his hands as he held it over his head, finally recognizing just what it was in the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldYCM6F3Xhw&list=PL8D1E4637261C45EF&index=8]soft light of the jungle...[/url]

[b]Fairy Slingshot:[/b] A small, masterfully crafted slingshot made of a strange, but incredibly tough wood. Possessing a leather wrapped handle and a thick elastic cord with surprising draw strength it's very clear that this slingshot is anything BUT a toy. It requires both hands to use and can seemingly fire anything you can fit onto the string with surprising force. The slingshot has an airy feeling to it, almost like it was made and belongs in a forest...

[A small two handed ranged weapon. Able to use small objects as ammo, gaining different effects and damage output based on what's launched from it. The Fairy Slingshot can fire as fast as the user can load and draw the string. Low-Medium Range. Low Velocity projectiles. Low Penetration (certain ammo may subvert this). High Accuracy with a chance to stun. Deals moderate damage to soft targets and is able to kill even men with repeated blows. Very weak against heavy armor.]

[b]Deku Seeds x2:[/b] Brilliant, golden seeds about the size of a marble. They're heavy in your hand. Bite into them and you're guaranteed to break a tooth. Fire them at something and you're guaranteed to break skin. 

[Slingshot Ammunition. Current Quantity: 2. Hard, able to moderately injure unarmored targets. Potential crafting item, possible use as 'lead' for ballistic ammunition.]

	On the other side of the forest Courier 6 would turn the dial on her Pipboy, scanning through signal ranges in desperation to hear anything of meaning. For several moments she heard nothing by static. A drone of white noise interlaced with pops and cracks. Every now and then she'd swear a word or voice could be heard amongst the static, but it was hard to tell if it had actually been there or if she was imagining what she wanted to hear.

	Eventually, like a dam breaking, the mind numbing blare of the static gave way to an [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERsFsc_n7XE]unusually peaceful tune[/url].

	A wordless song with the gentle strumming of an electric guitar and the happy plonking of a piano. Everyone around the Courier would feel a sudden, strange lift to spirits. Those weary from the long travel would feel rested and those not tired would feel alive with energy.

	[i][NAKED SNAKE is no longer [color=yellow]fatigued[/color]][/i]
	[i][Poppy, Merchant, Courier 6, and Tam Fiernas all gain a minor enhancement to [color=yellow]stamina[/color] for the next hour] [/i]

	Then, like an abusive father kicking in the door to an otherwise peaceful home, the music cut out and a voice blared out over the radio.

	[color=00FF00][i]"YOU HAVEN'T MADE YOUR SCHEDULED REPORT"[/i][/color]

	Clear and demanding like a military commander the voice spilled from the speakers of the Courier's Pipboy. After a brief moment of silence another voice, younger then the first, spoke.

	[color=00FF00][i]"The situation is normal. All clear."[/i][/color]

	Both voices spoke in English, but had varying degrees of what was a Russian accent to those who could recognize it. 

	[color=00FF00][i]"ALL PERSONNEL RETURN TO YOUR STATIONS. Keep a watch for any more of those machines. We are currently interrogating the [b]subject[/b] for further information. There might be allies of his in the area so remain vigilant. The scheduled radio frequency change will begin now." [/i][/color]
	
	Then the voice cut out, leaving nothing but the whine of the static...
