Fallout V.Hello, Dave.

"I was a millionaire in Cali! I was on vacation, thank God, when the nukes fell, which is why I'm still alive! I wanted to get into New America but they denied me and called me a greedy good for nothing bastard!"

I scribbled down in Russian and English asking him where i was and what had happened to all my stuff

[CypherX]

The soldiers throw nothing but death threats your way, stating that when Saudi Arabia finds out about this, America will be nuked a second time.

Marcus goes through the soldiers' gear. There is little other than various maps and irrelevant scribbles and journals. Marcus singles out the one who appears to be the leader and questions him first. He uses the man from Dearborn as a translator and says, "I'm going to be as concise as possible; you are either going to tell me why you and your men are above the 44th parallel after the Guard and your country agreed this was our territory, or you're gonna be wearing cement boots at the bottom of the strait. Your choice, make it fast."

[Juncoph]

I throw a rock at him sort of high in the air to hope it hits him.

It hits him in the head, and he loses consciousness. The bike is yours, but you think you might've given him a concussion.

"Well... I... uh...."

"They found you on the outskirts of Seattle, vomiting up your stomach and covered in the surrounding radiation. You're damn lucky they found you... I'd reckon a small group of hazmat-equipped foragers finding you in all that rubble and gunk is about a one in a billion roll. So congratulations, you won the lottery.

Anyway, your stuff is in that locker." He gestures towards the locker in question.

"We never agreed that this was your territory, American. We left you to stabilize this stuffhole while we organized a police force."

[Maxwell.]

"I didn't even expect that to hit" I say to myself as I run over there

I look for plasters and bandages in my suitcase, in the mean time I sit him up against the fuel tanks.

I get on the bike and start pedalling down the road.

[CypherX]

"We never agreed that this was your territory, American. We left you to stabilize this stuffhole while we organized a police force."

"Yeah, and the police force you organized was us. You left this "stuffhole" for us to fix. I'm asking you why 3 gun-toting Saudis are walking around all the way up here, lookin' pissed and making everyone uncomfortable. I'd like an answer, but I also wouldn't mind throwing you out of a Blackhawk without a parachute. I'm running short on time and patience, so answer up or prepare to meet your maker."

You make it to Salt Lake City. Fortunately it wasn't bombed like the air base just north of it, and as a result it is held by ex-US soldiers. There's a handful of Afghan workers as well, but the brunt of it is American. They're handing out rations and medical aid to those who need it, along with maps. This is all at the gates, of course- you have yet to enter the city itself.

"Can't tell you, sorry-not-sorry."

[Ragequit]

We move towards a small bushy area within shouting distance of the camp where there is a nice clear view of the encampment. "Jerry, take one. Fire when ready," I say into the walkie.

[CypherX]

"Can't tell you, sorry-not-sorry."

"Alright." Marcus's men blindfold the soldiers and take them out into the strait on a boat. They attach cement blocks to their ankles, and Marcus speaks to the leader again. "Well, I'm not without mercy. I'll ask you one more time. What are you doing up here?"

Jerry picks off the deserter wearing three chevrons-- the insignia of a sergeant. The other deserters panic, and take cover.

"Okay, okay! I wasn't kidding about Saudi Arabia planning to replace you, though."

[CypherX]

"Okay, okay! I wasn't kidding about Saudi Arabia planning to replace you, though."

"With whom? And when?"

[Ragequit]

In the chaos, Rob and I dump a mag each towards the rest of the deserters.
"Jerry, fire at will!"

[Kansas]

I get up and tumble over because of weakness

[Nonnel]

"Well... I... uh...."

Whatever, forgety. Getup. Yer comin wid me.

[Maxwell.]

"Excuse me! Can I enter this city to get shelter?" I yell over the fence to anyone inside
