Ch.20 Who runs Boom Bommtown?

Inside Nellis Airforce base

The screen shows complete darkness. It remains dark till a flash of a bulb flickers on revealing that the view was inside the radio. The screen then pulls back a way to reveal the radio is on a counter. It soon slowly sparks to life, as it does soft music from New Vegas starts to pour in as the screen pulls back a little bit more.

Play I got you under my skin By Frank Sinatra

I've got you under my skin
I have got you, deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin

"Aw, pouring opening." Nora pouted, while Weiss started to nod along to the song.

It reveals a little shack room, once the barracks for a high ranking official it was now set up with more livable conditions. A makeshift kitchen was set up with a functioning gasoline stove and fridge. However on top of the stove was a pan filled with pancake batter.

I'd tried so, not to give in
I said to myself this affair it never will go so well
But why should I try to resist when baby I know so well
I've got you under my skin

The sight of the breakfast food made the ginger stop pouting and drool.

Ren then walks by and slowly starts to flip the pancakes onto a plate as he hums along with the ancient toon while cooking the pancake. Once it was cooked through he flipped it onto a plate that was stacked with pancakes.

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear

Nora was making noises that made even the host concerned and summoned a plate full of pancakes to calm her down.

He then takes the plate stacked high with pancakes over to the table and places it down on the table for Nora. A few tears of joy fell down her face as she inhaled the savory smell of the freshly cooked pancakes.

Don't you know, little fool
You never can win
Use your mentality
Wake up to reality
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin

Small snickers are heard throughout the room as Nora takes a bite of the pancakes in front of her not paying attention anymore.

She then grabs an old whisky bottle filled with a dark brown substance. She pops open the bottle and pours out this malaise-like substance onto the freshly cooked pancakes. Maples didn't exist in the Mojave but Sarsaparilla was everywhere; it is a decent substitute.

I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats how it yells in my ear

Nora stopped noticing how dry it was, only now notice the sarsaparilla bottle before pouring it on her pancakes with a shrug.

She savored every taste of the flapjack stack with the utmost amount of joy with every taste. As she gleefully gorges down on the breakfast food in the early parts of the morning, the screen turns to the side to reveal the rest of Ren's group enjoying their own breakfast with the elder of the Boomers.

Don't you know, little fool
You never can win
Why not use your mentality
Step up, wake up to reality
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
Because I've got you under my skin
Yes, I've got you under my skin
