Chapter 8: Fighting the Good Fight

As I was still in Megaton I decided to go look through the new stores that were now here and to see what they are selling. I saw various shops trying to get customers attention buy saying how their clothes or their equipment were better to handle this or that, I just shook my head and I thought 'I wonder if Rivet city market is going to be carzy like this,' As I looked through some stalls that were selling meat or trinkets. I smiled seeing how this world is truly trying to become more hospitable for others in this crazy world, when I stopped at the a stall that was selling cooked deathclaw meat I was a little surprised but decided to buy a some for the journey into the city.

As I was wondering through the market I noticed a few new people that looked familiar but I couldn't find where I seen them, then as I walked by one of them said something to the other that caught my attention, "Sentinel a messenger just came by with orders from you're father asking to reinforce the GNR building in the down town sector reports of mutant activity in near that sector." As heard that I stopped and looked in their direction and saw Sentinel Lyons looking at some gun attachments and different ammo for a laser rifles. I noticed what she looked like but none of them had their power armor on instead they were just wearing combat BDU's with the brotherhood of steel symbols and she had a military jacket with a pistol holster that was strapped to her side carrying a chrome plated beretta 9mm.

I guess she noticed I was staring to long because she turned and noticed me analyzing her and her men with interest. I saw her speak something to a person next to her and he gave a glanced at me while she was whispering in his ear and seeing his face turned with confused to interest in a few minutes of there conversation. I was being to think either I was planning something against them or she knew me somehow. So I stopped staring like an idiot and continued acting like I didn't notice her at all or her people as I picked up a few more things that'll help during my journey. I started to walk towards the saloon because I noticed it was getting late and my was still tired from my wounds as I entered I was surprised to see Sentinel Lyons and her team talking to Gob about something so I used my ghost skill to sneak past but that didn't help Gob from seeing me and yelling out my name, "Hey John you're friends here want to talk to ya," as I stopped mid up the stairs I looked back and saw Lyons and her team looking at me with surprised looks.

Gob said they wanted to talk so I told to come up to the room I was renting out as I opened my door and went in Lyons was the only one walking through the door while her team waited outside. When I neared the chair and table in the corner of the room I heard the door closed and turned to see Lyons by her self and locking the door, then she said without turning around, "So John, why were you in the marketplace staring at me and my squad?" Asking while she had her back towards me as I took off my gear and proceeded to change the bandages I responded by telling her, "I was just curious on who you guys were, and I noticed you guys carrying yourself in a orderly fashion like you're highly trained which I guess that you people are and I also was admiring your beauty." as I said honestly and to see her reaction to the last part because I noticed she's not that older than me by a year or so.

As she was accepting the answer she was surprised by the last thing he said about admiring her beauty she turned to retort his answer she found him half naked with no shirt on so she asked, "Why are you undressing with a girl in the same room!" As she yelled for taking my jacket and shirt off I pointed to the bandages and said, "I don't want this to get infected so I took my shirt off in the room I rented and figured that you would have no problems with it since you're with the brotherhood and probably seen men without their shirts on so I decided to take it off and clean my wound up." Her face full embarrassment noticing his answer but looked the long jagged like stitching on the right side of his ribs, she felt more embarrassed by how she had forgotten the story of how he saved a group of slaves from a raider base in the old school just west of here and on how he wad wounded while saving them. After her own embarrassment she asked if she could help him with the cleaning and bandaging, before he could answer she grabbed some alcohol and a clean rag then proceeded to help clean by gently wiping away dryed up blood and making sure I didn't reopen my wounds as she dinne that I was wondering if she had two personality but decided not to ask on the count she could punch me in my ribs for asking that so I stayed quite as she proceeded to clean and apply a clean bandage on.

While finishing she proceeded to asked if I could asst them to the GNR building because of the account they were low on experienced people and only had a handful to go and secure the surrounding area. I told her yes which was a surprise to her that I agreed just like that but heard when I was already going to head thede for some information about someone she hastily smiled then told her to meet them at the entrance of the town tomorrow morning as I was going to be a long walk to GNR through the subway and then through the city. As she left she stopped by the doorway and told me I should get a few more items like armor piercing rounds on the account that super mutants skin is tough for bullets to penetrate through, after that she left with her team and I bid her a farewell and went to sleep.

When he woke up he noticed he hasn't look to much into the System's store to buy that many things besides the ballistic mask, the hexagon silencer and the two C4 charges with the detonator that was pretty much all he bought in the store he then asked the System what all he could buy before meeting you with Lyons and her team the system responded with a list,

*Survival Store

-Weopns and attachments

-Clothes and armor

-Medical supplies

-Blue prints

-Survivor wheel*

While looking at the list I saw two options the [Blue Prints] and the [Survivor Wheel] which I ask what they do the System responded by telling me the [Blue Prints] were for making weapons, armor or even vehicles of different types. [Survivor Wheel] is some like a game wheel which you could gain random things that'll be useful to you're survival in any way but only if you received Survival tickets from quest rewards.
