I thought it was wierd that Chuck and Lee left their mates behind but Butch caught on that those two are natural protectors while Snow and Lia are more attack dogs than Chuck and Lee, those two would protect everyone here. Smart Wolves, but I  worked with Butch since he was a pup and he started with training. The wolves have natural wild predictor instincts, Butch? Not so much. The wolves come, and Brent finally gets up, by the time I check all of the animals over, everyone or I think everyone is present, the dogs pair off and pick corners on the platform. I stand to my full height, and turn to look over my shoulder when Kisa plows herself into me.

"Nice to see you to Kisa, sorry to scare yuh." I grin and pat her head, when I look up from her. Brent and Loke are standing there. Brent grinning and shaking his head, Loke standing his jaw slaked and hands in his hair. I tip my chin, and nudge Kisa to the side as I move to the boys. I stand in front of them, placing my hands on my hips I grin at at them raising an eyebrow.

"Looks like you guys made it. How's the Place been treating you?" I motion with my shoulder pushing hair back a nudge, gesturing to my group. " I'm definitely a dog person for sure, people not so much, so who here is staying?" Brent flinches back and raises a brow in question, Loke has closed his mouth, and has settled on rubbing the back of his kneck. Kisa comes up.

"Loke likes helping, Brent is good at planning, and I run OPS to the surface! When we found this place it was so big that it just didn't feel right, not sharing and helping other survivors. So we made a place of it. Only Brent, Loke, and I can come in and out freely though. Everyone else has to have one of us with them if they want to enter rooms, but you..." I put my hand up stopping her.

"Kisa, I'm not mad. Thank you for speaking, I was wondering when you would do that.  I'm not worried about the people, or rations. I'm worried for the group. I've been in 3 different groups and they all end the same way. Over run or in a war with another group. You lose more people with how big your group gets, you start thinking you have security in big numbers but even a grain of rice can fill a starving mans stomach. All it takes it one bad OP, one person, one bite, scratch or nick. Just a small cold. We humans are weak creatures by nature. Yes, we are survivors but what we all NEED to be are soldiers. Every time we show weakness 5 more become more geeks. I asked, Who was staying. Not who was leaving. If your Staying your gonna learn what a fight is. If you can't handle that I would suggest finding another place." I proclaim heading to a room I know no one but I can open. I place my hand on the handle and feel a slight against my palm and then a pull. The door clicks and I push it open. 

"Whoever is ready, step in, but once you step; You follow me and mine. I'll fight, but I won't coddle you. We fend ourselves and each other. You show weakness or hesitation, expect to be left." As I go to walk through the door a women comes forward,

"And what if we decide we don't wanna follow you? Or we can't be a fighter? Or that we can't trust you, What then? We were here, first and there is more of us than there are you, and...!"  I interrupt her.

"10,687 Geeks Total, 10 per minute, 150 of 300 in a heard. I'm the first to admit I'm a Monster. But don't make me your demon, I can kill a geek without a thought. What makes you think I trust you? You don't wanna fight you'll die eventually. Get in my way it'll be sooner than later. You were here first? Do you even know who is responsible for this?" I stop to gesture around the vault. She glares, and points to the boys.

"They built this, They protected us, They started this. You just came in and took it. Isn't that right Brent!?" She looks to him hoping to confirm her proclamation. I grin and run my tongue along my teeth.

"Rebecca....Kia built this. Yes we put it into action but, everything that was and is still here was from her. We can only open certain doors with a set of keys we found in a bag SHE packed for us, at the beginning of all this. As for what she might do if you don't fall in line, I don't know but you might not want to figure it out, if she can tame wolves, do you want to figure out what else she can do?" He raises a brow uncrossing his arms and walks into the room I opened. Before continuing past me, he turns his head to the side speaking over his shoulder. "I'll follow her, not becomes of her empty threat but because I'd give her my life if she needed it, but it also helps she's hot." He smiles and gives me a wink then heads inside. I just role my eyes and cross my arms. As more and more people pass me to go into the opened room.
