re: [Game] DEAD END III ~ Closed due to a personal dilemma. I'm sorry, guys.
Yes, but you should know better by now, since I'm in charge for this round.
Anyway, let's move on.
Spoiler: The Story...
Everyone packed up their supplies and headed for the vertibirds. Vincent paused for a moment before turning to Kybur, “Wait, we don’t have enough vehicles, how are you going to travel with us?” Kybur laughed a bit and looked at him, “Oh, that won’t be a problem.” He pointed behind him as everyone else looked to see where he was facing. Two enormous, menacing beasts emerged from the ground in an explosion of dirt and dust. They both looked as though they were 50 feet high, and possibly double if they stood on their hind legs. They were 4-legged, crawling brutes wrapped in dirty brown rags held together with chains. Black, rusted steel armor plating covered most of their bodies, and on each of their heads were steel masks with a single, glowing red monochrome eye in the center of their faceplates. They had enormous jaws with even bigger fangs hanging out of them. The strangest feature was that they had house-like stations mounted on their backs, with rope ladders hanging down at their sides. Everyone in the vertibirds simply stared, mouths hanging open and eyes stuck wide.
Methian shook his head and looked at Kybur. “What… what the hell are those things?!” Kybur chuckled and looked at Methian, “We call them Beast Barges. Mutated masses of animal corpses. They’re used for travel, carnage, pretty much anything you can think of that involves monsters like them.” Vincent looked at the Beast Barges, then at Kybur, then back at the Beast Barges and pointed to them. “You… You’re going to be riding… those things?” Kybur nodded, “Yes, we are.” Vincent sighed, “It’s never simple, is it?” Kybur laughed and looked at him. “Nothing’s ever simple when it comes to the Remnants. Now, let’s get out of here.”
Sanctum made their way to the Montgomery County Reservoir, while the Remnants traveled on the ground on the Beast Barges. It took a few hours, but they eventually made it to the Reservoir. The vertibirds touched down, and the Beast Barges burrowed into the ground for a quick rest. Everyone proceeded to the main entrance to the reservoir. Kybur looked around, “Hm… no raiders. And no vault soldiers, either.” Vincent aimed his sniper rifle around the area to see if there were any other dangers around. “It’s barren,” he announced. Derek sighed, “Great. Another dead end. Now what?” Vincent lowered his rifle and turned towards everyone. “We should head over to Evergreen Mills, then. Nothing here to-“ At that moment, an explosion went off and covered the entire area in smoke. It wasn’t irradiated, but it still caused massive damage. Everyone recovered from the blast and stood up, most of them coughing from the smoke. MastaC stood up and yelled, “Okay, what the hell is with all these explosions going off whenever we go to a dead end?!”
It was at this point they noticed that AzureLao was the only one not affected by the blast, and was standing on top of one of the water mains. He was even holding the detonator to the charges. He pulled out his assault rifle and started firing at the group, leaving bullet wounds in a few of them. Vincent ran forwards and jumped from a rock onto the canister, now facing AzureLao one on one with his dual deathclaw gauntlets. AzureLao unsheathed his combat knife and began slashing away at Vincent, not losing a single step while on what little space there was. Everyone else proceeded to help, but AzureLao held his hand up in the air and formed a signal out of his fingers, causing several vault 109 soldiers to appear out of nowhere and begin attacking the group. AzureLao and Vincent kept fighting on top of the water main until the ghoul eventually kicked Vincent down. He unsheathed his assault rifle and aimed it down at Vincent. He was about to pull the trigger when someone tapped his shoulder. He turned around to see who it was, only to be looking down the barrel of a .44 Magnum. Derek pulled the trigger and sent AzureLao’s brain splattering everywhere, leaving his corpse to fall off the edge of the water main. Derek looked down at the headless corpse and chuckled, “Hehehe… I don’t like ghouls, and I don’t like the VO. And AzureLao was a combination of both.” He looked up and laughed. “The VO must really enjoy messing with me…”
Everyone finished gunning down the rest of the 109 soldiers. Methian watched as Rex was rabidly ripping out the throat of one of the downed soldiers. “Shit… I forgot how crazy these assholes were.” Rex then bit the crown of the soldier’s head and began wildly twisting it, eventually ripping his head off completely. Methian laughed, “That’s the spirit, boy! Rip his head off, haha!” Everyone gathered around. Kybur sighed, “So… dead end?” Vincent nodded, and Derek spoke up, “Looks like AzureLao was a traitor, too. Knew it all along.” Kybur looked at him, “Bullshit, you’re just going on with your hate speech of ghouls.” Derek chuckled and waited for orders.
Everyone gathered themselves and headed for their transports, then proceeded towards Evergreen Mills. When they finally reached the sight, the silently made their way to the cliff sides, behind a wall of rocks providing good cover and a great sniping point. Vincent turned towards MastaC, “You, check out the area, see what we have on our hands.” MastaC nodded and looked over the rocks, then grew a look of shock and terror on his face. He looked away, then back at the scene, then back away. He paused for a moment, then looked at Vincent, “Dude, there’s like 20 behemoths down there!” Everyone looked over the rocks and said in unison, “Holy shit!”
It was true. Armored behemoths were blanketing the area. They were all wearing composite power armor made out of car parts and building structures. Each one of them had “103” painted in yellow on their back. Everyone got back behind the cover. Derek looked at Vincent, “What the *bleep* do we do now?!” Vincent thought for a moment, then turned towards Kybur, “What the *bleep* do we do now?” Kybur looked around, then back at Vincent, “I don’t know, maybe we should just retreat. Whatever the hell they were doing here, it’s obviously-“ Before Kybur could finish, the ground beneath them began rumbling. Before they knew it, the ground collapsed and sent them tumbling downwards, straight into the center of Evergreen Mills. The rocks landed beside them as they crashed into the midst of the lair. Luckily, the rockslide took out 2 behemoths… but there were still about 18 others waiting for them.
Everyone got up from the rubble. They pulled out their weapons and looked around. The behemoths were closing in on them slowly. Methian sighed and looked around, “Well, guys… it was a pleasure working with all of you.” At that moment, a mini-nuke went off near the other side of the Mills, a behemoth corpse flying from the explosion and landing beside a train cart. Everyone looked up to see a hijacked Enclave Vertibird flying over the Mills, dropping mini-nukes on the behemoths. Everyone took cover inside one of the train carts, hands over their heads and ears while the explosions went off outside. The noise died down, and they all proceeded outside. They looked around for a bit. The behemoths were all dead, their corpses littering Evergreen Mills. They all looked over to see the vertibird touch down near the center of the area. The side doors slowly opened, and a hand emerged from it. No one believed there eyes after what they all saw next.
It was Shave. The android that sacrificed himself to destroy Vault 122 years ago. The one who saved Sanctum during the final battle. He was carrying his grenade launcher, Kybur’s Rock. He stepped out of the vertibird and looked at everyone else, smiling, “What? You all think death was gonna stop me? I wouldn’t miss this for the world.”
Shave walked over to the group, everyone’s mouths still hanging open. Shave looked over to see Kybur. He walked over and stood in front of him. “Well?” he said, still looking at him, “Anything to say?” Kybur shook his head and looked at Shave. After a long moment of silence, he announced, “………. You have got to be *bleep*ing kidding me…” Shave laughed and held his arms out wide, “I’m back! Haha!” Everyone yelled and grouped around Shave, celebrating the return of their adroid comrade.
Kybur looked at Shave, “Aren’t you supposed to be… y’know… dead?” Shave chuckled and looked at him. “Turns out the Enclave dug me up and built me a new body, identical to the first one. Even got the laser arm and everything. They transferred my brain to the new body, and I broke out of Raven Rock with ease afterwards. Few days later, I met up with someone from H.A.V.E.N. and teamed up with him to find you guys.” Vincent looked around, “Wait, who did you say you teamed up with?”
A few moments later, another man came from out of the vertibird. A Caucasian man wearing black combat armor, helmet, and sunglasses. Black hair, green eyes, and a thin moustache. He had a laser rifle in his hands, and a combat knife strapped to his left side. He looked around and turned towards Shave, “So, this is Sanctum?” Shave nodded. The man looked around and announced, “Nice to meet you guys. The name’s Moustache. H.A.V.E.N. sent me as a replacement for one of the traitors. Came across this friend of yours while I was out in the Wastes. We teamed up and found an Enclave camp, which is where we got the vertibird from.”
Shave looked back at everyone, “We searched the area around the Mills before you got here. We found a shack with a few research tools in it. What we found was a holotape sent to someone named Terrance. It was from Vault Legend 35. She said to meet in either Smith Casey’s Garage or the Warrington Trainyard. We think there are other Vault Legends ready to meet in one those locations, too. Possibly Vault Legend 122, as well.” Vincent nodded and turned towards everyone else. “Alright, men. Pack up and vote on a location.” Everyone nodded in agreement and went to gather their supplies. Shave turned towards Kybur, “Hey, Kybur, hold up for a sec.” Kybur stopped and looked at Shave. The android pulled out a dirty, rolled up sheet of paper banded by a red ribbon. He handed the contract to Kybur. “I think this belongs to you.”

re: [Game] DEAD END III ~ Closed due to a personal dilemma. I'm sorry, guys.
Hey everyone, just thought i would introduce myself before i post my vote. As you can see I'm a late edition to the game but hopefully i don't screw up to much
re: [Game] DEAD END III ~ Closed due to a personal dilemma. I'm sorry, guys.
Well as youll know theres a vault hidden under smith caseys garage, they could try and use the machines in there as weapons, we need to take them out before they have the chance, i vote Smith Casey's Garage

Holotape Entry #007
mmmmm... that felt good, that AzureLao was the one thing that was bugging me about joining Oscar team, and I got the chance to end him, him being a traitor was one thing but a ghoul as well? he should have just stayed in the grave where he belonged.....
Holotape Entry #008 well I thought Sanctum was clean but now we got an android in our midst again, oh well at least he looks human...
We gotta choose between Smith Casey's Garage and a Trainyard, now the garage is literally 5 minutes away so I see no reason why we wouldn't check that place out first and then go on from there instead of heading all the way to the trainyard near Tenpenny Towers and then have to head all the way back if we're wrong.
re: [Game] DEAD END III ~ Closed due to a personal dilemma. I'm sorry, guys.
I had a thought shouldn't there be four traitors not two? Cause we started with three and we voted wrong so that makes four. The only reason i bring it up is cause its not fare for the traitors if half there team is gone and their not replaced. Shave and AzureLao were both traitors and now AzureLao gone and shave and the new guy are in but shave's not tratior any more cause Kybur told us and if he come back and is a traitor he wont last long.
So i think to be fare and to keep the game interesting Kybur should randomly pick two more traitors.
Any thought's?

Wow, that's really awesome Derek, makes me wish i had the PC version.
Moustache's Holotape Entrey #001
Well, it feels good to finally be here in Sanctum among the elite soldiers of H.A.V.E.N.
Although i just arrived, i have been asked to place a vote to decide where i think we should go to find the VO. The choices are Warrington Station or Smith Casey's Garage.
I think I'll vote Smith Casey's Garageseeing as it houses Vault 112 it would make sense for the VO to hide there.
Hopefully when we arrive at the meeting I'll do something that will gain me some respect in Sanctum.
re: [Game] DEAD END III ~ Closed due to a personal dilemma. I'm sorry, guys.
I vote Smith Casey's Garage
A. Its a vault B. The residents of 112 wont even know they are there.
