@Earnest Evans Nope there about to bust in and Davis is going to have to keep them busy... Unless someone else ends up standing around. Remember none of us are carrying high impact weapons and very few have energy weapons. So it will take a lot of bullets to take them down. Direct fight would go there favor, power armor really can soak up damage. Technically assault rifles and such don't even hurt it until it takes enough punishment and the plates give way to the bullets or you shoot off the helmet locks and then blow there head off. When Jack fights them he might kill one, two if he's lucky and he's using a rifle that can cook them in there armor. I'm trying to make power armor as powerful as it sounds. So a squad of troops could probably take out are little group unless we make them run, suits will slow them down.

Davis disappeared into the back shaking his head, off to get something. Jack sighed. "I'm tracking the BoS, I did manage to contact their D.C. headquarters and they said that they would organize an expedition down when they could. I'm sure there are some around hiding from the Enclave however." He told him then looked down. "I can take you to my vault but it's... It's empty." He turned back looking at the doorway.

Davis returned with a large crate setting it down on the table he pulled out five books. "These are books, on everything from math to how build and repair mark seven turrets. I've payed scavengers to look for years and never found this many. The vault dweller here gave half his vaults books to help us start a school, we might not be self sufficient now but once we get things going were going to be able to repair and build what we need ourselves." He smiled opening a copy of Hamlet.

Jack nodded. "My vault was built on science, we had a thousand of the leading minds at the time of the war and we made incredible progress. Our vault was also stocked with a abundance of reading materiel and old world music. Music went to Three Dog upstairs and Davis got the books in exchange I never pay for a room and board." He said nodding to Achilles. "Alright lets go back to the vault, we can-"

Jack heard a sound that haunted his dreams, the sound of verti-birds. "Oh god damn them! Davis lock up the bar tell the sheriff to get everyone inside. Shit! Okay we need to lead them away from town if not then the people here are dead." Jack thought a moment.

"Okay here's the plan we slip out the back gate and I'll rig a plasma grenade into the verti-bird send it sky high then we open fire and lure them away from town. By the time they get back the sheriff can have the turrets up and arm his deputies. Enclave will turn back if there to heavily armed will buy them about a week or two." He said walking back towards the door. "If your coming with me now's the time other wise stay here and prepare to greet your new overlords." He spat Davis hiding the crate of books and clutching his .45 with a white knuckle grip.

@clanjos They were contracted to build the vaults but the US government ran and selected all the programs and picked the people that went in. The Enclave was in charge of it all having members in Vault Tec and in the government.

Fallout: The Carolina Blues.

@clanjos Vaultech was actually owned by the American government. It's why there terminal was in the pentagon, United States government took it over it's how the Enclave can open vaults and more importantly why they tested so many vaults with problems and horrific ideas.

Jacob

Jacob shook his head at Marianne's comment. "I despise war, it's why I went to Valm to try and stop one from happening. I also hate killing but I have to... We have no other choice but to fight and believe, if we can't unite the nations and end the war it's over, the Feroxi will fight to the last man and woman. The Plegian's will all be slaughtered for Grima worship, Ylisse will be forced to convert and the Exalt executed... My sister would be named queen and forced to sign over the governing rights." He sighed looking over the chess board. "The magical format is so I can train, I can order troops and see the consequences of my actions... I no longer see pawns, I see men and women ready to defend me to the last. It's to teach that no life should ever be wasted and your soldiers are not pieces on board to lose and gain. Most tacticians don't give second thoughts to the soldiers but Robin changed how Ylissian tacticians think. Andres is the last of Robins apprentices and I'm one of three to be taught by Andres, the other two left to sell their services." He looked to the pieces carefully removing a pawn from the board to look it over.

"Yes it can play a normal game of chess, just don't touch the gems. Though I think we should all retire for the night, your welcome to set up your camp here Abra if you want to be away from the noise. You too Marianne." He told them with a yawn as he got up and began to roll out his bedroll.

Therus

The Swordsman nodded. "You answer well and yes your work is remembered here. I must go and end that little party, we must all retire for the night, you are marching towards Plegia and we to Ylisse. May your cup never empty and you die a glorious death in battle." The polite Khan said bowing leaving Jerod to drink and think.

Therus walked into the center of the water and draw his blade, the moon shining off it as he raised it above his head. The Feroxi warriors looked between each other and nodded cleaning up they began to head to tents to rest.Even Therus's brother knew that the party had ended and that any challenger to that notion would face that blade. He would bring them down in one strike.

So just to get a quick head count. Could everyone still involved and those who plan to continue posting check in here please.

Jack scratched his head with a smile. "Sorry about that. Nuka Cola can be dangerous after all and quantum is especially. I'll let you and your friend drink in peace." He moved away from the bar, two yellow blips on motion tracker meant that two guys were waiting by the door and were some were between killing him and not killing him. He moved behind a wall and load Rebecca, this little girl set damn near anyone on fire and cooked people in metal armor inside out. Only downside to his rifle was every shot cost double, meaning twelve shots before a reload, still it wasn't the Enclave outside so he could probably talk down whoever it was.

Davis knew the drill, when Jack left the bar and got out that gun meant someone didn't have the best intentions. Davis held his .45 under the bar as a man walked in and asked about Jack. "Yep I've seen him." He smiled as looked at the door then back to Albus. "You know what a pipboy can do right? I mean man wearing one those is always a threat to anyone looking to cause him trouble. There's a good reason why vault dwellers use them, their smart. Us out here we know nothing compared to them." He laughed. "Hell Jack fixed the town water pump, free of charge. Rigged up some old turrets the sheriff had to defend the town gate. Town is afraid of him cause he taking down the Enclave."

He shook his head and sighed. "The Sheriff and I know better through, you been to the coast recently? Towns out that way been turned over. All the boys and young men carted off to be soldiers, everyone else put to work scavenging dangerous parts of the wasteland and if you resist you get turned to goop." Davis pulled out a cigarette lighting it. "The forum is full of idiots they been talking about how Jack is bad news for months. Because since he turned up in town other problems have gone away, water shortage is over. We've got weapons that turn raiders to ash or goop now so they don't bug us. So if your buying into anything there telling you don't, he's not a communist, he's not a god, and he's just a man trying to fix a mistake." He took a long drag on the cig staring at Albus. "People come in here a lot asking about him you see normally wanting to yell at or off him, I tell'em this and they stop and they think a fucking minute. He might not do the best job but things have been a lot better since he started helping."

As Davis delivered the rant Jack slipped out the door and was greet with a low grade robot and a guy in terrible armor. One was yellow, the knight and the other was a green blip but he did have a old model plasma pistol out. He looked at the knight. "That armor is shit and that weapon is... I've scene deadlier pool cue's. If your here to kill me should have come better equipped."

He looked at the robot then smirked, government model which meant he could do this. "Vault 35 security chief, clearance code 1648 Delta. All Vault security staff are considered members of the army and Chiefs are equal to the rank of Captain." He informed the bot, every single government bot knew the vault clearance codes, there to be used to reactivate robots and let them know that Americans needed them again.

"Alright Lancelot I'm going back in the bar and meet with the BoS boy. You come back when you've got a good weapon and better armor as it stands right now I'd cook you to death and I get the feeling we both don't need that." He patted the knight on the shoulder and walked back into the bar removing the no robots signs.

Davis smiled as Jack sat back down at the bar beside Albus. Jack turned and looked at him. "So you got a job that needs doing or are you among those that think that I'm some demon of the wastes, able to kill a death claw by staring it in the eyes." He grabbed another nuka cola drinking it.

Davis grumbled something about Jack not understanding the purpose of a bartender before Jack looked at him. "Davis what even is a death claw? I heard Three Dog say the Enclave tried to tame them once... It didn't end well." Davis just laughed.

Fire Emblem: Light's End

Alright.

Fallout: The Carolina Blues.

Jack got up and rolled his eyes. "I can't breath fire I can however do this." He reached into his bag producing a nuka cola Quantum which he drank. Then he pulled a lighter holding it in front of his mouth he spewed out the soft drink as burned a bright blue. "Not exactly breathing fire but pretty damn close, learned the trick from some raiders I was scouting out." He smiled and took handing them two hundred caps.

Just as he was about to shake hands with Patrick when a man burst in, demanding to speak with him. "You two count your caps and enjoy the your drinks." He told them turning to look at the new arrival.

"I assume your either here to kill me or offer your assistance. We can talk but you do it here, the people here are with me and I won't leave my partners out of the loop." He told the new man with some defiance, his hand resting on his holster where his ten millimeter pistol waited to be drawn.

Fallout: The Carolina Blues.

Jack reached for the gun. “I might not be the biggest fan of bullet based weapons but I fix most any problem with them. I prefer laser weapons mostly for the fact you can make them into bombs on short notice.” He bit his tongue however when the man questioned his motives.

Jack pulled his hand back from the gun and sighed. “I’m looking for a few decent folks for a certain job, mercs as well.” He looked back at Kitten, the bar was emptying out with caravans arriving in town plenty of wanderers heading out to trade and do business. “My vault got hit by the Enclave, we were a science based vault. Doctors, scientists, weapons techs, and botanists and out of the five hundred their about fifteen of us were in security.”

Davis passed the vault dweller a drink and spoke up. “I was up north when I found him and his little village. Him and about thirty others set up behind fancy turrets. They got science labs, and even got a G.E.C.K. going growing plants and trees. Town guards have this new power armor and kitted up with laser and plasma weapons. Place set me up with all their booze and chems and promised more if I helped Jack find people to help him fight Enclave.” He smiled at the four before him cleaning glasses. “Reason I’m telling you is because you need someone besides Jack to tell you, so you know it ain’t bull shit.”

Jack sighed and nodded. “I’m willing to share the tech and supplies we’ve got, Enclave’s got most of my vaults population is locked up and are using them to try and create our tech. You help me and I’ll give you a cut of what you want from our tech or chems.” He looked back at Kitten, no doubt she heard the conversation and was now even more interested. “I’d have gone to Brotherhood of Steel first but they're gone, Enclave wiped them out looted their armor and weapons.”

Jack sighed and stood up. “I’m actually here because the Enclave haven’t arrived here yet... Any day now their going to march in and take over, conscript those between sixteen and twenty-five carting them off for brainwashing training then they’ll do the same to the next town. With our techs they're able to produce plasma weapons and Enclave power armor even faster. If they aren’t stopped here you're all going to end up working for or being killed by them.”
