Vault over this!

The group continued driving down the highway, it was a bumpy and rather dangerous ride but they were making good time. They were making days worth of walking within a couple hours, Afton didn't know if he'd be willing to walk anywhere again after building Dirt-Bird.

Of course, the Mojave provided them with obstacles to keep them busy, some raider thought it would be a smart idea to throw himself out from behind a rock and in-front of the bike. Maybe he thought that'd stop ti? If so then he was incredibly stupid. It was fortunate [Mechanicus] not only repaired but slowly cleaned things around him, that'd allow him to ignore the man's organs that were strung along the front of his bike...

As for what happened to the man's friends? They had shot at the ground but apparently weren't used to shooting a high speed target. All shots missing except one which hit the metal hull of the bike. After this happened Afton just scowled and glanced at the others, "Leave that one alive." he states, wanting to punish the bastard who'd touched his bike.

Boone and Karl easily dispatched the others, all the while putting a bullet in the shoulder of the guy who'd hit his bike. Spinning around they pulled the bike next to them, the others looting the bodies while Afton kneels down next to the guy after kicking his gun away.

"Yo." he greets simply.

"W-what? Fuck!" the man groans in pain from having gotten shot... You'd think a raider would have a higher pain tolerance...

"Don't 'What Fuck' me, Fuck you. Think I'm going to let you off for scratching my bike?" Afton growls.

"I'll fuckin' kill you!" he exclaims, trying to spit at him, Afton just backhands the man though, sending spittle and a tooth flying off into the opposite direction.

"Hm, I think I know what to do with you." Afton says, retrieving a rope from his backpack and trying it around the guys legs before dragging the squirming bastard towards Dirt-Bird. "Come on guys, time to go." he calls to them as they stop looting the bodies.

Karl raises a brow at the man, "We aren't taking him with us right? I ain't sharing a seat." he says.

Afton just shakes his head and ties the rope to the back of the bike, "He'll be riding behind us." he says with a morbid smirk.

The raider isn't even sure what was going to happen to him, when the bike starts moving he realises he's in a world of trouble. Being tied to the bike causes him to be dragged with it as it starts moving, almost immediately his trousers and shirt are torn off, allowing the concrete of the road to start shearing flesh from his body.

Afton drives along while humming, ignoring the pained screams coming from behind... Unfortunately, once they go over a relatively large crack in the road, they lose their additional member... No doubt someone will be confused when they find bits and pieces of him up and down the highway.

It was unfortunate that Afton was too preoccupied with driving to spot the notification that appeared in the corner of his vision...

[Scare a humanoid shitless. 14/50]

*Ping*

Afton glances down at his Pipboy, wondering what the sound it just made indicated. He stops the bike for a moment to check, he wasn't stupid enough to text and drive after all...

The sky was beginning to dim so they probably needed to find a place soon... But, he'd see to that after he checked what the notification was.

[Find parts to repair Bunkers ventilation systems] : Quest Updated!

Huh, he'd almost forgotten about that... To be honest, he could probably repair the ventilation system by just standing next to the broken components for a couple hours. He doubted they'd allow him to do that since, youknow, he was a traitor. Even if they did he was too paranoid to reveal that kind of ability.

Regardless, he'd find the parts and see to getting them back to the Hidden Hunker, maybe after that they'd forgive him for his abrupt theft and departure. Flicking a couple buttons reveals the Pipboy's map where a new location had just been highlighted.

Vault 11... Apparently a vault was only a couple miles for his current position. He'd heard many stories about vaults from those in the Brotherhood, adding that to his experience in Fallout 3 and he was incredibly wary to actually approach one... For all he knew this one could contain one guy and nine-hundred deathclaws... That would be funny, as well as horrifying.

"Guys, what do you think about checking out a nearby vault?" he throws the question out there, if neither objected then they'd take a look.

"One of them Vault tech death traps? I don't know... Heard some horror stories from some old friends of mine that were in-charge of cracking them open." Karl mutters.

Boone shrugs, "If you think it's worth doing then we might as well. Better for us to take what's left there than someone else." he states pragmatically.

Afton nods "Let's take a look, we'll be careful about it though. I don't want to end up as some sort of mutated abomination, trust me, some Vaults might actually try do to that do us." he says, starting the bike up again and following the map on his Pipboy.

Soon enough they are forced to diverge from the highway and drive offroad for half an hour. Eventually, they reach a cliff face that looks to contain some cave systems. Upon further inspection they find a single stray door blocking a smaller entrance...

"This the vault? Seems a little... Shoddy to be the entrance." Karl wonders aloud.

Afton nods, "Yeah, I wonder if this was set up before or after the Great war. Whatever, let's take a look shall we?" he says, hiding Dirt-Bird behind some rocks and locking access to its engine, aswell as the wheels... Only way someone was stealing this was by carrying it away, an unlikely thing considering how far they were from any settlement.

The other's nod as they push open the door and step into the cave, all on guard for what might be inside.
