[color=aba000][u][b]Captain James William- Mother cultist fight part 3 [/b][/u][/color]

"Atom is a false god!" One of the cultists shouted back, "The Mother preserves this island and its people!"

[i]Mother? Who the fuck is the mother? [/i]

Having killed the meat hook welding cultist and the Gecko creature dying of its wounds next to Connie there was two atom or Mother it would seem cultist with Castner zapping one with his laser rifle the final cultist screamed and charged out in reckless abandon, hoping to kill as many of the group before getting gunned down. 

Unfortunately for the Whacko his suicide attack would not last long with James putting a plasma bolt into them as well. The cultist let out a screech of pain as a large chunk of their body began to liquefy from the heat of the bolt. And they collapsed to the ground dead. 

A blissful silence descended on them as the green glow of plasma faded. “I think that’s all of them” James muttered as he began the awkward process of reloading his plasma defender with one hand.

Suddenly, two more armed cultists burst from the undergrowth. James rushed to reload his pistol as he was now  defendless as the two cultists rushed towards them but just before they could attack a crackling volley of rifle shots took them down. 

Longfellow, the railroad agent rose and a few others came out of the woods, guns still smoking.

"Not as spry as I used to be, but hell if I still got it...." Longfellow muttered with a grin and judging by the smell still half drunk. 

“Thanks...” James replied as he finished reloading his pistol “when we get back to town I’m buying you whatever drink you want.” 

James then went to pick up his rifle as he did he walked passed Connie and noticed the cult priestess she had ditched the fire to grieve over had been the town (Ex)-Mayor he’d shot at earlier and that she’d been an synth... 
[i]
Troubling... Do the cultists process the ability to make synths? Or was she replaced beforehand? And by who? [/i]

[b]“Co## ## #ver” 
[/b]

James looked around he could not see where the voice was coming from; someone must be attempting to contact him though the chip or he was going crazy in the fog..... 

[b]“Thi## is Doctor ##O #ct### D###### from the ####### do you ## me ############# ############# ############# ######### ########”[/b]

The voice then stopped, either the fog or distant from where they were calling from prevented James from getting a clear signal... assuming again he simply wasn’t losing it in the fog or blood lost from his arm wound. 

"NO!" Rose shouted loudly and knocking James back into reality 

It was the railroad agent rose, rushing around the dead cultist bodies she was ripping of their mask and looking at their faces, it would appear she knew them and was seemlying confirmed she dropped to the floor "T-t-they're"

 She stammerd, "..They’re...Synths."

[i]The cultists can’t have the tech to make synths.... can they? [/i]

Brotherhood hesitantly walked up to the sobbing Rose, and put a hand on her shoulder. “I’m sorry for your loss”, he said uncertainly. He decided to risk a question. “What were these synths to you? Why would they all join the cult?”

“And not just the cult, an off shoot faction group.” James replied before turning to Longfellow “During the fight that one there.” James said as he pointed to the cultist he’d partly melted with the plasma bolt “declared that Atom is a false god and that someone or something called the Mother preserves this island and its people”

“Any idea what or who they might be?”
