Meredith curses and shoots the guard with her MP5. He drops dead. She didnt have time for this. She pulls Ebon along as she runs through the streets of the city. She comes to the entrance into district 1. Guards are minimal here, because they are looking for her. Meredith moves up and signals for Ebon to stop. He does and she slowly slides up to the guard near a security personel portal. She slits his throat and motions for Ebon to follow. She grabs the security card and opens the portal into district 1.

**lord commissar klimino**

(errr...you just shot edgar...so im gonna say he lives,but is injured...)

as district 1s gate opens,meredith and ebonfire hear "dont move or your both dead." infront or you is 20-40 guards...and the old man. "hello ebon,i see you failed your mission,so you dont get paid. as for you meredith...blue head,or death." he then throws a small sack of 10-12? credits to your feet.not much at all. but you both see that you cant win this,so you hand over the head.the gates then close and lock you out.

edger saw the gun swing up,so he jumped to his left. the bullets hit him,but he knew he would live. as he lay their,he saw a bunch of guards rush after her and the other guy. then a medic came and started patching him up. "whoa man,your lucky.you almost died.." edgar is then taken to the hospital.

*Cough OP coughcough*

**lord commissar klimino**

(kinda,but i make it fair. if you go to strong in your post,i can just give you bad luck

but i was kinda ok with it,i wish he had read all of it and seen the hints i gave that they were "together" so he didnt shoot him...if he ever makes meredith wrestle a reaver and win though,im not gonna allow it

)

**yeroc500**

No i shot a guard who went to pull me out of the line.

**yeroc500**

Shoot me. Really. I`d pull something out of my ass. Edgars fine. And i`d fight not shirk from the fight with the head or 10CR`s

**lord commissar klimino**

(you were in the open,no cover.you would die if yu fought. plus here,money system.

credits-best,worth most

coins-worth 2nd best.

dollars-worth least

ussually only district i people get credits. ps i got this idea when ebonfre said he had dollars,and i thought,hmmm,i have an idea.plus you probably would of gotten paid in dollars or coins instead anyways.

and it was edgar who went to pull you out of line. well,acturaly,no one mae you step out of line,i would of said so.they just told you to,not grabbed you or anything.

**Snarky**

Edgar woke in the hospital. He hated guard duty even more now, especially after getting shot for the third time on patrol this year.

It was just a flesh wound, so nothing to be worried about. Waiting in the cramped discharge room, Edgar was waiting for the bureaucracy to finish the paper work, then he would be outta there...

**lord commissar klimino**

(see? snarky dosent argue

)

as edgar leaves the hospital,he sees the old man...rushing along holding a blue head. he is heading for center square,odd,its still off limits after the riots damaged it.

**Snarky**

Edgar shouts out to the old man, "Hey, stop! What's with that blue head?!"

He runs to catch up to the old man, but for an old geezer, he's surprisingly fast, walking at such a pace that Edgar couldn't catch up even while running.

Stopping to catch his breath, Edgar thought to himself. "What the heck?!?! How can an old man walk faster than a car?".

He had lost him. But things were going to get worse for Edgar, he was in the Center Square, while off limits. The cops weren't going to look kindly to trespassers.

**lord commissar klimino**

as edgar looks around,he sees 3 cops coming around the corner.he looks around,he can run deeper in,or he can hide in an old shoes store...

**Snarky**

Edgar runs into the old shoe store, it looked like nobody was around.

Being the frugal person he was, he helped himself to a new pair of shoes while he hid from the cops. Also unlocking the till, he helped himself to a few coins and dollars. Not much, but hey, you make do with what you can get.

**TheWildHost**

Tzak nods "Ok" He says getting in line.

**lord commissar klimino**

as the cops pass the shoe store,edgar hears one on his radio talking about some old dude setting up some device in the center of the city.

as they search tzak and his things,they let him threw. "sorry,just have to make sure everythings ok. and get some rest big guy,you look like you were in a car wreck."

**Snarky**

Edgar overhears the radio chatter from the cops, hearing that an old dude was setting up a device infuriated him.

As much as he hated the elderly and mechanical devices, he couldn't stand the fact that this old dude was not only fast, but had a blue head. It was his most hated colour. Coupled with the fact that he had some device just pushed him over the edge, of all things he hated, Edgar hated pointless gadgets the most.

Going on a mission to take down a (hopefully) frail elderly man, Edgar made his way to the center of the city, picking up a big metal crowbar from the derelict store. He had forgotten his umbrella back at the hospital, but a crowbar would work too.

**TheWildHost**

Heading back to his house Tzak hears a chase ensuing "Hmmm probly nothing" he thinks. Once he gets home he begins to harvest some of his homegrown fruits and veggys. The city allowed him to grow them because 1)They paid a small amount for some 2) He conducted reasearch on some of them 3) Whatever was left was donated to the needy in district 3( He ate some of course)

**lord commissar klimino**

as edgar get near the center,he sees police men dead all over the place.freshlt dead to.then he sees the man.he has set up some device and is setting thr blue head on a platform. he then turns "hello edgar,your too late! this is the fall of orion!" he then turns and hits a button.all of a sudden,rain clouds,big dark rains clouds,form in the sky.everywere,no sky visible,only rain clouds.of course it starts to rain. then,the earth starts rumbling,and you hear a loud crumble...the walls,the walls have crumbled,and with it now dark... you turn at the sound of reavers,lots of reavers. "this is it! this is the blue heads power! control of natural disasters and weather! orion is finished,i have my revenge!"

everyone else you feel the sun get blocked,then you notice it raining hard. all of a sudden,their is and earth quake...then a loud crumble.you look,the walls,the walls to orion have collapsed! and then you hear something even worse.howls.reavers.lots and lots of reavers.

**Snarky**

Edgar was really pissed now. Not only did the old man mess up his home, but he had a magic blue head that controlled some stupid gadget. There was nothing worse than some mumbo-jumbo plot device controlled by supernatural powers.

Lifting the crowbar above his head in a "Freeman"-esque pose, he started smashing the device and went after the Old Man, nothing would stop his crowbar rampage.

**lord commissar klimino**

(the blue head is mutant,not magic

)

as you smash the machine the old man laughs. " its already happened.even if you destroy it,nature will keep the clouds their for hours,maybe even days before they dissipate on their own!" as you finish and turn to the old man he says "aw,your not gonna kill me.your gonna run off and escape before the reavers get here."

**Snarky**

(Edgar doesn't know that, he's just frustrated that an Old Man outran him...)

BIC:

Edgar begins chasing the old man, but cannot keep up with his power walking. Soon the old man had vanished.

Edgar had now begun to notice the Reavers, they were getting closer, the loud beasts. He had noticed remnants of old cities to the west of Orion, not far from there. They would be a good place to hole up while avoiding the Reavers.

Taking a firearm from a dead cop and as much ammunition (and wallets) as he could find before the Reavers got too close, Edgar made his way out of Orion and to what he presumed, safety.

On his way, he checked his inventory. About 50 credits worth total in all the wallets he scavenged, and a couple of ID's he could use later. He had managed to pick up a handgun, but only several rounds for it. He also managed to find an assault rifle from a cop who had his head caved him, it had an attached grenade launcher, but no ammunition. Edgar took it anyway, he might fetch a good price for it on the black market.

Edgar was now outside Orion. He had a choice now, walk along the edge of a forest to get to the old city, or head south and take the road. He decided to move along the woods less bandits.

I do. You have to indicate the man is a plc. Otherwise gak like that happens. I realize you guys have moved past this, but i had a plan and you had to ruin it by not telling me who i shot was other than a man. And the fact that the district one was lightly guarded. So feth this. I`m doing my own gak for a while

**yeroc500**

Meredith curses up a storm and moves over to the side of the wall. She`d have to scale it. Ebon not knowing what she was doing watched. She noticed little rocks misplaced here and there. She ran up the wall. She grabbed one and then put her foot on another. She jumped up again. She did this repeatedly until she got to the midway point. She noticed an alcove. She climbed over to it and entered it. A door was inlaid into the back of the alcove. She pressed her hand against the door and it slowly slid open. She walked into a guard quarter that was empty. She saw some guard clothing and armor. An idea hit her. She put the armor and clothing on and walked out into district two. She still had the security card. She`d need it she thought to herself.

ok,sorry. i will next time. i still let you go on.him being shot still happened and i still let you go on.it didnt even matter at that point. and it wasent lightly guarded,you got ambushed after all.

**yeroc500**

Meredith moves out and edges her way back to the district one entrance. A guard unit walks by and she waves at them after they nod at her. She continue`s on and comes to a different entrance. She flashes her card infront of the scanner and it opens. She walks through and this time checks before she continues. She heres a comotion and a mutant runs by her. He is chased by a group of cops. Suddenly the rumbling starts. The walls fall. People start screaming. And over the din the roar of reavers is heard. Ebon bumps into Meredith forgeting stealth and worrying about steadying himself. A random reaver jumps out of no-where. It jumps on top of a person nearby. Meredith shoots the thing of the person. She runs for her life. Ebon follows.

**lord commissar klimino**

as meredith approaches the crumbled outer wall,along with ebonfire,she looks around.meredith realizes that if she goes on foot,she will have a disadvantage.luckily for her a car swerves by her and crashes.

**yeroc500**

A reaver jumps off the car. The blood on its claw is from the now dead driver of the car. Meredith pulls out her pistol. She had exchanged her trang pistol for a G18. She then pulled out her Kbar. The thing ran at her. It was clumsly running expecting an easy meal. She jumped around it and shot a single burst. It howled and slshed at her. The claws were to far away though. She jumped over it and this time jumped on its back and stabbed it through neck. In its dying moments it threw her off. It went to kill her but Ebon fired his bull and the reaver was knocked to the ground dead. "Thanks, Ebon", Meredith said. He nodded. She went over to the car. It was a nice sports car. The only problem was that it`s window was destroyed. Meredith broke it off and pulled the dead driver out. She turned it on. It revved a deep baritone. She giggled. She`d always dreamed about a car like this. Ebon got in and she started to drive towards the old metropolis. The city was susposedly abandon but Meredith had contacts there. She`d find them there and make her revenge plot there. "Ebon now i`m going to the old metropolis ruin about thirty miles from here. Do you wish to follow?"

**Kasrkai**

Ebonfire takes a good look at the situation. Busted walls, reavers everywhere.
He shakes his head. "Nah, I still have to pay you back for the little humiliation back there, and throwing you out of a car thirty miles from safety is kinda harsh." He ran to a crumbling building, and threw himself up to a window, where he busted inside. "Maybe I'll see you around kid." He jumps inside and shouts: "Oh, and thanks for the credits."

**yeroc500**

Meredith curses as she realizes he had taken half the credits. She`d get him back. She drove away out into the desert. She had a long way to go.

**Snarky**

Edgar strolled along the edge of the forest, it was still raining and he missed his umbrella. It was too late to get it now, Orion was probably swarming with Reavers.

Ahead, he heard whooping and the sound of motorbikes. Edgar snuck along a ridge to check it out. Bandits, great he thought, they had attacked some other travelers, no doubt refugees from Orion.

Deciding it wasn't worth going up against them, he decided to go through the forest, north. He wasn't sure what was up there, but it was worth finding out.

**yeroc500**

Meredith came to the forest edge. She needed to stop for the day. She`d move when it got dark. She came up to the forest and parked the car. She put bushes around the car and made camp. She foraged for food and firewood. Then she heard a low rumble. A gang of bikers zoomed by. She hid but one had seen her. He pulled off with five others. They all turned on their lights and searched for her. She jumped out of the bush and stabbed her knife into the lead biker. He let out a owlof pain and died. She then picked up the assault rifle of the biker and turned it on the others. The front one was ripped to shreds, the others were unscathed they saw her and laughed. One got off his bike and charged her. Meredith did a flip in the air and shot the biker with her g18. He jerked from the impact of the bullets but his armor took the blows. He grabbed her and wrestled her to the ground. She bit him and he yelped she then stabbed her knife into his eye. She then twisted it and he fell limp. The other two bikers though had dismounted. They grabbed her by the arms and hauled her up. They disarmed her of her g18 and her knife. She had left everything else with the car. She struggled but the bikers were alot stronger. They tied her up and put her on the back of one of thier bikes. They then went and joined the biker gang. Meredith sat through it all. They finally came to a huge congrigation of bandits. They dropped her off by the lead cheiftans. The bikers talked to what Meredith guessed was their chieftan. The leader laughed at a crude joke the men made but Meredith couldnt here them. She then went black as a bodyguard knocked her out.
