Narrator's POV:

(Six lays down on the couch in the middle of the living living room with his Elite Riot gear armor still on. The room is dark and the only light in the room is from the Pip-boy. James is resting in the bunk bed from guarding the base when Six went scouting two days ago. Six then looks at his war graffiti on his helmet, it is worn down making it barely noticeable unless you look closer at the helmet. Six then inspects the back of the helmet and sees the words "Begin Again",scratched on the back of his helmet were the back of the neck is located. He ponders on what begin again means,then it hits him)

The Courier's POV:

"Now I remember, five years ago in a place called the Sierra Madre." He then has a flashback to when he was in the Sierra Madre. He sees the holograms in the casino patrolling with a blue glow to them. He then sees himself in the Sierra Madre security armor talking to dog and forming his personalities into one. Then he hears the infamous high pitch beeping sound from the explosive collar that Elder Elijah put on him. Then has memories of the dreaded and fatal rusty smog that was known as "The Cloud" He also remembers the monstrous ghost people's heavy breathing and green glowing eyes. And lastly he remembers leaving Elijah in the vault and leaving him for dead. Six then Yells,"ELIJAH YOU GODDAMN NUTCASE!" James wakes up due to The Courier yelling,and he looks over to the Courier to check if he is ok. He rushes out of the bunk bed with his cane and approaches Six,"Six are you ok?" The Courier gets off the couch turns,around and draws the Ranger Sequoia pointing at James. James also draws his custom made 10mm pistol and says,"Ok Six you can calm down its me your buddy James" "Unless you can drop that gun and prove that you are not one of Elijah's tricks", said Six with a cautious tone. James tosses the handgun at his feet and shows his leg stump that is still there from the disassembly drones. The Courier snaps back to reality from his PTSD flashback, "Oh I am so sorry James I thought you where on of them" said Six to James with guilt . Is there something on your mind you want to talk about Six? The Courier sighs to himself, There's no point on hiding now. Come on and sit and let's talk."

James then sits down beside the Courier on the couch,"Now Six what has you riled up?" Five years ago, going around six years I was in a place called the Sierra Madre. It was possibly the worst hellhole that I have been in, and have been in a lot in my life time so far. "Why is that Six", James says with curiosity. Why James... WHY! Why is because I have been in though allot more then you possibly could imagine in that petty little hard drive of yours! "Im sorry that I asked" James says with a fearful tone. Don't you understand scrap-heep,I went through a lobotomy from the best scientist in America that went practically insane due to boredom and isolation in their little world of theirs. Plus I had to go through a place so dangerous that the wind would skin you alive and one wrong step could blow you to pieces over, and when I say that place is the most dangerous I am goddamn serious you understand. "Ok ok I am sorry for asking,just I didn't know what you where going through and I Just wanted to talk ok." James said with a concerned look on his face. Just, James, I am greatly sorry about being angry I don't expect you to understand about what I been though because you weren't there ok. "It's ok Six I am sorry." I accept your apology James, just some things need to be forgotten.

James then huggs Six, and Six huggs him back carefully to make sure not to harm him. Six's mind starts to calm him down and Six says,"I haven't had a hug for who knows how long." They stop hugging and James then asks Six,"So What are going to do now Six?" You can go back to sleep James, I will maintain the plants in the Hydroponics room and get ready to back out to scouting. "What about me guarding the bunker while you're gone?" After you get your rest you can tend to your duties James

James heads back to bed and Six puts on his helmet and heads to the hydroponics room. He picks the Buffalo gourd seeds as well as the banana yucca and grabs one air tank and heads back to the living room to put the pickings in the fridge. He goes to the weapon locker and brings his Antimateral rifle and replaces his Two-Step Goodbye for the Industrial hand. Six then puts on his gas tank and heads for the exit, and before he goes he takes a sip from his vault 13 canteen and is looking at a recording in his Pip-boy named "My experience in the Sierria Madre." I just wish that somethings should just be forgotten Six whispers to himself with guilt and exits the bunker. Six then arrives at Uzi's home and sees Uzi, N, and a male worker drone outside the entrance. "Well this is going to peak my my interest",says The Courier looking from his binoculars from afar.
