They made good time along the road matching Jason's staggered pace. Shadows seemed to creep in around them as the sun sank beneath the upper reaches of the valley they were passing through still following the Nipton-Novac Road. The decision to not stop at the Farm had been a unanimous one though Eddie still could not help but long for those high sand bagged watch towers. Even one of them perched up there could cover the entirety of the roadway below allowing the broken party even a few more moments notice if Legionaires had stolen a march on them.
However they were almost into the NCR territory if Lucas was right and the armed encampment was a Ranger Station. Despite the protection it would afford them Eddie still housed no love for the NCR though admittedly he knew less than nothing about them......were it not for the Ranger he might have some sympathies for they cause.
It was almost nightfall when they made it to a dip in the Valley. From the path he could now see what Lucas had meant. The High Path and the Low Road.....and beyond them both the Ranger Station. On their left was nothing bull a hilly mass of cacti and Yucca subtly attempting to mask a ruined tunnel system for some ancient pre-war vehicle it's tracks passing alongside their path. On the Right was a massive billboard obscuring the groups view of the High Path.
"I don't know about this Lucas....... It all looks really wrong. Go down and were exposed to every Jack, ****, and Nancy up there with a bottle to throw.......go up" He gulped in an exaggerated fashion, like some comic book side kick caricature. "... and who knows what we walk into."

Max walked along the train track. Running into a group of coyote. He dispatched them with ease. Crossing over a small mountain and making it to a road, Max learned where he was. A ways ahead would be the ranger station. Seeing the pre-war train tracks, he made his way onto it and started to walk down toward Novac.
As he walked his road, he noticed a bridge ahead of him. Perfect spot for a ambush. Drawing his revolver, he made his way down toward the bridge. Ready to draw on anything that wanders into his sight.

"I hear ya Doc." was all that Lucas said whilst thinking about how to approach this valley. It was too good of a location for there to not be an ambush waiting in some way. Nodding to the right he continued "I could go up the side and check it out, anything up there won't see me coming. I'd come back and let you know or you could head straight on through and I'd get the drop on anything or anyone up there." then he turned to the left. "Could try cut across that way and go around the canyon. I hear Nightstalkers are particularly fond of this area though." Looking straight ahead he delivered his final statement. "The there's risking heading straight through, it'll be faster but if there's anything up there we're prime targets. Thoughts?"

The young Doctor looked at the cliff face thoughtfully then pointed down the road in the rough direction of Novac and the Ranger Station.
"Jason and I will take the Low Road. It'll be quick, easy going, and we'll be exposed the entire time. That's where you come in. We'll wait right here as you get set up in the High Path. Once you give us the okay we start walking. Anything or anyone nearby should see us coming a mile off.......when the do. Zap. You taken em down and we meet up on the other side."

As Max began to inch closer to the overpassing bridge, he took out his only flashbang grenade. He had been saving it if he would ever be cornered, but now seemed like a good idea to have it out just in case. Max walked as quietly as he could. Making his gear rattle as little as possible.

A classic attempt at a guilt trip from Eddie. It worked to a point, he'd been a decent travel companion so far. That and having a Doctor around is hugely beneficial. "You got it kid, keep an eye out" he said as he set off. The incline was steep enough to be rather inconvenient, but still manageable at least. [Sneak]Lucas climbed it slowly trying to make as little noise as possible. A stone or two came loose, but it was nothing significant. Approaching a kind of ridge he stopped and listened, there were footsteps. Very heavy footsteps. He was conscious of his breathing and hoped nothing was looking his direction as he looked over.
Bighorners. He let out a sigh of relief that they were all that were there along a small flat atop the cliff. But he was not yet done, there was another area yet to climb. He made his way by the relatively peaceful creatures and took a position behind them that left him in view of Eddie and overlooked the canyon. Sure enough there were two would be ambushers hiding here, hidden from view of the entrance. He took a good look at them, one was in leather armour and carried a grenade rifle. The woman beside him was clad in metal armour and held what appeared to be a varmint rifle. Lucas was about to signal when he spotted a third at the far side of the canyon. It was hard to see, but by their stance it looked like they were holding some sort of melee weapon.
He looked back to his companions and pointed to the far side of the canyon, hoping Eddie would at least pay attention to that side, and followed up by waving them on. Keeping his rifle pointed at the one in Leather he waited for the opportune moment to pull the trigger.
What're you looking at me like that for? I'll shank you I will.

Reality came back into focus as Jason heard his name. He blinked, breathed deep. He still lacked full control. Words wouldn't come. This was another brief moment of clarity, but it was becoming better as the Mentats kicked in but he could feel himself shutting down. He needed to stop. He nodded his response to whatever it was that Eddie had said, hoping that he wasn't agreeing to take a bullet to the head.
"Snakes slither in the cracks," the voice said.
Jason's eyes suddenly came into focus. It was a warning, a strange flag of caution that more often than not would be passed off as a hunch by most but was definitive fact accompanied by some strange insight where his disembodied mental passenger was concerned. Jason wasn't entirely sure what was meant by the cryptic warning but all he could determine was...
"Something's wrong..." he said to Eddie.

Max slowed down. He noticed two figures in the shadows of the overpass. Carefully, Max began to ready his flashbang. It won't kill anyone but it will give him enough time to quickly run up and dispatch of the two if they were raiders. If they were just hiding, he would let them be after knocking them out.
As Max began to pull the pin, he noticed another figure on the top along a ridge line. He pulled the pin and threw his grenade near the two figures, hoping the third figure would be caught in the flashbang's radius. He pulled out his Machete Gladius, waiting for the flash. He had been using his Machete earlier to cut out barrel cactus fruit and banana yucca so it was close at hand afterward.
Max closed his eyes as the flash hit, and he ran forward. Opening his eyes, he saw the two figures begin to fall over and cover their faces. He noticed the figure on the ridge line was not there anymore. He was either gone or maneuvered away. It didn't matter. He ran up to the two, grabbing a woman in metal armor and putting the machete to her throat. "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"Something's wrong..."
Eddie groaned loudly as the reached the lowest part of the roadway. Jason had regained a semblance of his former stability if but for a moment and perceived something the wandering doctor had not.
Today was just not Eddie's day.
He flicked the spear up behind his arm and dropped into a defensive crouch scanning the crags carefully for any signs of danger. He fought the urge to look upwards at the cliff face fearing that he would give Lucas away perhaps catch sight of some snarling face with a rifle, god forbid something worse.
A slight scrapping against the rocky ground alerted him to the presence of a stranger wearing a a motor cycle helmet and suit of what appeared to be leather armour reinforced by additional padding an a road sign beaten into the jagged shape of a pauldron. A makeshift blade fashioned from a Lawnmower Blade was clasped firmly in his hands.
"Really?" was the only thing Eddie could think to say before he stepped forwards to meet the stranger's rush.

"Knock knock," the voice whispered in Jason's left ear as Eddie, exasperated, turned to the one approaching with the makeshift sword.
Jason, still a little out of it turned to his left as a leather boot hit the ground and the flash of steel in the moonlight caught his eye from a nearby dried bush. He stepped back just in time to avoid getting the axe buried in him, though it still struck him across the chest, tearing his shirt and labcoat. Its wielder was a woman, quite taller and more muscular than Jason. She swung again, catching him in the shoulder. Jason's mind was immediately back to reality if it wasn't completely before, as the impact cut into his previously bandaged shoulder, eliciting a scream of terror and rage from him.
"Get the axe!"
Jason scrambled away as an overhead swing came down impacting the road and digging up a few flecks of it.
"Kill the cancer!"
[Nerd Rage! Unlocked] Jason felt an overwhelming rage come over him. This woman was one of those people. No better than Caesar's Legion she wanted to kill him, to wound and hurt the world. As she swung again Jason rolled. Her reached for his laser pistol, yanking it off the belt and opening fire. Beams found the woman's side and she screamed angrily as she swung again, the lasers barely finding any real place to do damage on her leather clad body. He ducked under the swing and shoulder charged her with his good shoulder, laser pistol still in hand. She fell backward onto the ground, dropping the axe and surprised by the sudden surge of strength from the shorter man wearing the Followers uniform.
His left arm and chest hurting, he dropped the laser pistol, grabbed the fire axe from the ground, finding the strength in his left arm to hold it with both hands and swung down at the woman. Her eyes wide, she rolled, getting caught on the leg by the axe and screaming as she stumbled to her feet.
"The snake slithers away wounded. Kill the snake! Kill the cancer!" the voice echoed from all directions, its statements overlapping each other but the intent clear. The rage in Jason's eyes mirrored that intent.

After the day he'd had Eddie didn't even think. His response to the sudden appearance of more desperate wasteland raiders with instinctive and lacked the former empathy it had once shown.
All of his muscles tensed in a reflexive manner only now just noticing the appearance of a second bedraggled attacked as he stepped forward into the change of the raider bearing the makeshift sword. He shifted into a defensive posture spreading his hand grips along the length of the weapons haft and keeping the blade in a half-stance his his waist. The blade pointed up towards the attacked neck.
His hand flashed to the sheath of one of his long bladed throwing knives where it became a silvery streak through the air sinking in to the exposed flesh between the motorcycle helmet and the reinforced leather, just above the clavicle causing the arm to slump limply.
Eddie ignored the enraged grunt. His eyes simply focused on the makeshift blade as raider shifted the sword to his other hand barely slowing his charge, swinging the sword in an undisciplined fashion. He found it easy to swat aside the the length of steel with the tip of the spear , side stepping another blow, and countering with a precise thrust into the arm pit where the leather appeared to be thinnest.
The reaction was instantaneous. The worn wooden spear shattered in it's hands with a resounding crack showering his hands and chest with splinters leaving the tip embedded .....

As Eddie and Jason made their way into the canyon, the Raider raised his grenade rifle to attack them. But before he could, Lucas took his shot, striking the raider in his throat. He fell, dying nearly instantly. His companion turned around after hearing the distinctive sound of the laser rifle. She quickly took a shot that went wide and grazed the pauldron of his reinforced leather. Lucas' follow up shots were on target but momentarily by a return shot that went into his shoulder. Fortunately his armour slowed it down enough that the bullet only made a shallow incision into his flesh.
His own punctured through her armour and felled her. Turning his attention to the action unfolding below, he prepared to aid Jason and Eddie when he was struck from behind. A third raider had happened upon them and ambushed him. He was knocked to the ground and dropped his rifle but managed to regain his composure and rolled to avoid a follow up from the raider.
He managed to stand back up a pull out his pistol, manoeuvring to put the raider between him and the cliff face he took a shot at his leg and rushed him, knocking him off balance and down into the canyon. With no chance of him surviving, or at least of being able to move afterwards, he looted the bodies of the other two raiders. 20 caps and a grenade rifle which he slung over his back. With no where to stow his laser rifle, he'd be forced to carry it at all times. While it was only slightly more weight it would still prove to be more tiring, particularly with a now injured shoulder. With the battle below seemingly over, he made his way down to meet back up with Jason and Eddie.

Jason's attacker tried to duck left, Jason followed. She stopped, reversed direction, twisted the wounded ankle and fell over. She had barely tried to get up when Jason drove the axe into her leg eliciting a scream that caused distant coyotes to howl in response. Lifting the axe again Jason drove it into her chest. There was a disturbing crunch as the axe drove through her chest, silencing her permanently. He removed the axe and looked at it, shaking.
He drove his left thumb along the curve of the blade covering it in blood, then put it in his mouth. The euphoria washed over him and he turned his head to look around.
"The snake is dead. The inevitable result of her actions. Her blood strengthens you."
Jason looked around for more attackers. None came. His chest and left arm hurt horribly but the taste in his mouth carried a strength with it. He wiped off another set with his thumb and put it in mouth as he held the axe at his side. It was only prudent that he kept it. He dropped to his knees and checked the few pockets on the woman's armour and found a bottle of Buffout. Explained a lot.
He rose again and stumbled over to Eddie. He was burnt out. It was too much now. The muddled thoughts were gone. Even the voice was oddly silent. He was running purely on adrenaline at this point.
"I really need a nap," he managed to slur to the surgeon.

His eyes widened with horror as he turned to look up a Jason.
At first he thought the Follower wounded perhaps wounded in the scuffling but upon closer inspection he appeared to be unharmed for the most part. Fresh blood was smeared across his cheeks and dripped from both his chin and the axe clasped in his hands. His ghoulish appearance was disturbing on a personal level.
"Jason?!" He exclaimed stumbling back over the corpse of his raider. He couldn't place the name of what Jason was, his mind too sharply focusing on the crimson flecks staining his teeth. " What the hell did yo....."
He stopped short. Perhaps he shouldn't make a big deal of it. He was acutely aware of several splinters in his hands that were were leaking pearls of dark blood.
He stammered back a response without even thinking. "Y-you.....uh.....you look like hell man. A-a-a nap and perhaps something to clean yourself up with......"

Jason staggered over to his laser pistol, reattached it to his belt then moved to his duffle bag. He slumped to the ground next to the bag, rubbing his mouth with the back of his hand and licking his teeth. Should he be worried? He thought he should be. Maybe he didn't have enough energy to be worried about it now. He looked down at his ruined shirt and the tears in his lab coat. He had extra shirts and could fix the lab coat. Tomorrow. Maybe.
He yawned. How could he be so calm after that fight? He knew he should be worried. He was burnt out. He looked at the axe again. Save for the blood it was relatively clean, standing the test of time. On the other side of the axe blade appeared to be something akin to the pick of a pickaxe. He shrugged. Worry about that later too.
Eddie had said something about food. Real food.
"Real food...?" Jason repeated.
"This is real food," the voice stated to him matter-of-factly.
Jason found himself agreeing and sighed. He reached into his jacket for the tin to find the pocket torn away. He squinted in the darkness to find the tin just barely noticeably on the road. The clasp had flown open and it was empty of the few remaining pills. It was far too dark to find them on the road. Jason groaned. The pain from his wounds was encroaching now.
"How far is Novac?" he asked softly.

As the Mojave sky darkened, Max heard the struggles end. He was near the source of it all. After hiding for a moment, he recognized the voices. It was of the group of dissolute profligates he was walking with until Nipton. Heavy breathing and forced words were all he heard.
Max turned on his helmets night vision to get a better look. What he saw disgusted him. The follower ingested the blood of a fire axe. He knew something was off about that follower but cannibalism disgusted Max. Max got up from the shadows and began to walk forward to the group with his sequioas in hand.
"To drink the blood and eat the flesh of the Lord's children is a disgrace to our father. You claim to be help those in need of it, but you are more despicable than these reavers that lie dead. The reavers that you consume of their life." Max pointed a sequioa at Jasons head and pulled the hammer back. "Repent and beg for forgiveness from our father or I shall send you to Satan".

"Not far I guess. Couple of miles.....so maybe an hour." He reckoned. He was still rather distressed by what he had seen.
Eddie sheathed the sword he'd salvaged from his victim as he finished off covering the body with dirt. He'd managed to carve a very shallow grave from the earth and had just shifted and covered the body with a last few handfuls of scree. When he rose he noticed that Lucas was not in sight. He'd heard laser fire and seen a raider body drop from above onto the road. Was the mercenary alive?
"Luuuuuuuuuuccaaaaaaaassssss!" His voiced echoed off the canyon walls. "You alive? If you're dead youyou don't have to say anything! We understand!"

"The packless wolf approaches, barking and baring teeth," the voice observed.
Jason looked over to the approaching Max, wielding his two revolvers menacingly. Jason groaned loudly. He was becoming jaded now, as though for the moment all emotion were removed just to protect his mind from caving in on itself. He leaned back.
"I really can't take much more of this."
"He means to kill you."
"I can see that." Jason sat back up. "Listen Max. I've got a cut in my chest and my left arm is one sudden movement away from being in a sling. I can barely feel anything right now, I'm pretty sure my head is supposed to feel like it's in a vice but it doesn't and I have no Mentats to focus my mind with. Can this please wait until after we get to Novac and I patch myself up?"

Hearing Jason tell Max he is too tired and injured to care angered him. "Disgusting. You are a abomination in the eyes of the Lord and I shall carry his vengeance". Max took a shot near Jason's leg as a way to spook him into repenting. "Repent or I shall tell Julie Farkas to look for another wasteland junkie to train!"

As the Ranger approached a single thought ran through Eddie's mind.
****.
This seriously was not his day. He flinched as the sequoia roared, drew his new found weapon before the Ranger could act, hand dropping down the throwing knives at his belt. He had a fast draw with these things and uncanny accuracy. Would it be enough.
"You seriously need to stop this pal." He growled his trying to be command. "Walk away or I'll cut your ******* head off."

Jason twitched more from the sound of the shot than the bullet actually striking near him. He looked over to Eddie, then back to Max.
"He speaks your guardian's name. Threatens your life and threatens to say he did it. He speaks as though everything were so simple. Even your people know that the pieces of the world are not so cleanly coloured."
Jason looked up at Max. "You're riding with me. I die. You die. Can you speak to him?"
"You've never granted me such freedom. I'm not sure it will work."
Jason sighed. He almost wished it was a split personality rather than schizophrenia, though the other could potentially be worse. Still the voice and him were the same. Sort of. Maybe? Julie had told him this but still he doubted it. Many times the thoughts he could truly identify as his were contradictory to the opinions of the voice. Perhaps it was the urgency and importance of the situation that resulted in this uncanny synthesis of thought.
"You do not know me Max. You tell me to repent for something that I could never control? It's the reason I had the Mentats in the first place. You are no better than the Legion you claim to have left. You speak of repenting yet spurn the weak, you claim your strength yet use it for nothing more than some petty revenge. The fact is despite your self righteous bullshit you've never done a good thing in your life. I have helped people, sacrificed so others could eat, saved lives. The only thing you can do is take them. At the end of the day you're no better than Legion or NCR. All you can do is take. You've never given a thing in your ******* life. You tell me I'm an abomination? The next time you find a mirror look in it and tell the monster looking back at you 'Hi' for me."
Jason struggled to get to his feet, clutching his chest. "And you are not worthy to speak Julie's name," Jason spat. He fell back into a sitting position, his body too worn out now to stand on its own.

Max cocked and drew his second revolver at Jason. "[Terrifying Presence ?]Attempt to kill me and I promise I'll get to Caesar and tell him to go east until he finds your tribe and strikes its name along with you from history." Max than pulled back his hammer on the revolver he just shot. [Perception 8] "You are not the follower. You are his demon. I should kill you like the pathetic abomination you are. Even if I die, the Legion WILL mark you for death. Do you know the amount of Frumentarii came into the Mormon fort? And do you know how many are there? Watching Julie Farkas carefully? "
Max than looked over to Eddie. "Killing me is to only ensure your death, and your tribes death. They will make sure you watch your tribe burn to the ground before they crucify you in front of the mass grave that will be there. Your last sight on this Earth will be of your dead tribe."
Max than looked at Jason, slumped on the ground. Weak and exhausted. Almost like prey waiting for a predator to finally put it out of its misery. "The Legion might be flawed but we will crush the NCR and we will burn away all degenerates like you. Festering in the body of a weakling. Too tired to fight. Too scared to fight. Now either the follower repents, or I shall leave your corpse rotting and baking in the sun. A treat for the Nightstalkers and Vultures that patiently wait. The Lord's justice is at hand. Now it is your decision. Cannibal".

Jason stood again, propping himself on the axe. He exhaled. The pain was getting worse. Eddie said Novac was a couple miles. That would be something like forty minutes if he manged to keep pace. He looked at the Ranger and his pistols.
"You are a coward Max. It's as simple as that. You can't cope. Could never cope. Caesar's Legion doesn't care about you. You'd be strung up. Made an example of. Shown what happens to those who try to leave the Legion. NCR? Well as bad as you think you are, multiply yourself by a squad and you can guess the result. Your God? After all I've done for people I would appreciate it if he could understand that he **** me into the Wasteland this way."
He searched through the duffle bag and removed a dose of Med-X. After injecting himself he slung the bag over his good shoulder and began walking toward Novac, axe in hand. "I really need a nap."
"He could shoot you in the back," the most direct statement the voice made all night.
"I am well aware and quite frankly, I'm too tired to give a ****."
Jason stumbled, then struggled to get back up. Maybe he should have tried bandaging himself first. He pushed on the axe to get back to his feet, continuing on in the dark. As he walked, or rather stumbled, he listened for the coward's shot.

Lucas made his way down to the canyon, now noticing a sharp pain in his shoulder from where the bullet was housed and a second lingering one where he was struck from behind. He missed most of the events below and heard his name called out by Eddie. Waiting until he was on flat ground to respond, he heard a distinctive gunshot of a large calibre pistol. 'Damn thing's not over yet?' he thought to himself as he kept low.
Then he saw him. That damned Ranger had come around again. 'Would've been better off with the deathclaws'. [Sneak] He approached him stealthily and struck him with the stock of the rifle to the back of the head. While he wasn't the strongest it should prove enough to momentarily daze him whilst delivering his usual righteous bullshit. "You're a hell of a pain, ya know that? I've met gangsters that had more decorum." remarked Lucas as he levelled his rifle. "Now, could you do us a favour and stop threatening the good doctor?"
What're you looking at me like that for? I'll shank you I will.

[Stonewall] "You call that a hit?! Pathetic. I've fought Mole rats with more strength than you". Max than quickly moved and aimed t g e revolver that was aiming at Jason, at Lucas. "I fear no man and no beast. That doctor is neither. He doesn't even deserve to be a slave. He is a abomination. Abominations must be eradicated from this land."
Max than turned around and began to walk up to Jason. Max stopped 3 feet away and looked at Jason with the lifeless red eyes of the helmet. "You are weak, unresolved, fearful, and dissolute. I have no such monsters within me since I have the strength to control my inner demons, unlike you". Max than put his revolvers away. "I won't even waste a bullet on a unworthy life such as yours. You aren't worth the cost of it. Let the Mojave do its work for me."
Before Max left, he said to Jason, [Speech ?] "I'll see you at Fremont, Jason. There, me and Julie shall have a nice chat." Max than began to leave. Going straight for Novac.

He sheathed his blade visibly uneasy unwilling to take his eyes off of the Ranger, though he kept his hand on the belt of throwing knives in case he tried anything.
He turned away to follow Jason.
"So long Ranger." He said, grinding his teeth together as he showed his back to Max. "Despite all of this crap thank you. You kept your word and paid us. That at least was honest."
[Sorry it's about all I can think of until we move on.]

Jason ignored the ranger, eyes watering under the pain as he walked steadily to Novac, trying to move as quickly as possible but stumbling every time he tried to move too fast. The ranger had passed him, going on his way to Novac as well. He could hear Eddie behind him.
Jason was out of breath when Novac came into view and he almost collapsed at the door to the front desk of the motel.
"Oh dear. What happened to you?" she asked, coming around the desk.
"Can..." Jason coughed. "Can I... get a room?"
"You poor thing. The room you rented when you were here before is still available," she said running back behind the desk to grab the key and put it in his hand.
Jason inhaled to get enough breath to speak. "Thank... you."
He dragged himself to the second room on the bottom floor, pushed open the door and fell onto the bed, forgetting about Eddie, or Max or anything else.

Eddie left Jason and Lucas as they entered the town. The travelling had drained him more mentally that physically to the point that he actually felt restless. It also could have been that he was terrified to sleep fearing that should he close his eyes he'd be transported back to that abominable cliff side over Nipton to watch the slaughter again.
Instead he explored the small township using the massive green gecko-lizard-thing that was a part of the Dino-D-Lite as a point of reference. Night had fallen and the townspeople were already retreating to their homes or perhaps the diner for their evening meal. For a time he spoke with the mercenaries and a female doctor in a small encampment by the road, sitting with them over their modest meal of **** N' Beans hearing them tell of their experiences further North.
He rather quickly determined by the way the Doctor, one Ada Strauss, spoke and acted that she was no medical practitioner and was more relying on the powerful pre-war chemicals to provide adequate care than any actual skill. She seemed an amicable type. Perhaps he could use that. The chemicals would do more good in his hands anyway.
He also spent some time talking with a grizzled old sociopath the townsfolk called No-Bark Noonan who regaled him with conspiracy theories of Communist Zombies from the Moon, a Chupacabra that stalked a local farmstead, amongst other fantastic stories.
He even spent an hour oiling and acclimatising to the blade he taken from the fallen raider testing it against the reaching arms of some ominous looking cacti pretending for a moment they were the menacing forms of Super Mutants, Radscorpions, or even the fabled Deathclaw.
[Lady Killer] Thoroughly out of breath and shaking from the cold night air he returned to the small encampment to make his heist and successfully stole past the dozing guardsmen quietly slipping into the tent. What happened in there Eddie would never tell another living soul however several hours later he rather briskly walked out of the red-cross tent offer the rather surprised guardsmen a sharp 'evening gents' before disappearing off down the road.
He stumbled into the diner around mid-night before closing time and collapsed against the bar mumbling strange fragments of his experiences, ketamine, a medical brace, something that sounded painful to do with microfusion cells. He'd made off with a few items that were tucked into his pack. She'd never even notice the difference between the already exhausted syringes of Med-X, or question why several of her up until recently fresh blood packs had suddenly turned to a dark ash like substance.
He fell to the though that although what he'd done was fundamentally wrong.....and what Dr Strauss would have done to him was fundamentally wrong on so many different levels.....at least someone out in the wastes would be less likely to die from a bullet wound or a poisoning.
