"Wasn't much for thinking outside the box heh apparently not I guess right Jack right James" to the sides of Alex were the body's of James and Jack....dead for who knows how long. Frozen from the extreme cold but Alex was well dressed with fur coats winter hats and gloves. As he watched each of them kill themselves from fear of never making it to civilization again they ended themselves. After hearing the telecast about the bombs falling over Boston....D.C. Los Angeles Etc they took the cowards way out. "Even though I don't, I think I fixed this beast up pretty well don't you think James...haha you can't talk because your dead". Alex began to tinker with the fusion preserving unit so the whole armor wouldn't explode upon placement of the fusion core.

"Now I do think this T65 armor will help me travel Alaska with mobility ease and heating...". He chuckles as he took a deep breath..the sweat starting to slide down his forehead over to his cheeks as he began to place the fusion core inside the armor. As he took his fist and pushed the head of the core it made a DINK sound as it went in. Alex quickly closed his eyes fearing for the worst but luckily his ears were greater with the whiting of the armor just for a few seconds. He looked down at his pip boy 3000 plugging in the status reader into a port of the power armor, the following read [All systems nominal, beginning power up mode please wait 5 seconds.....5....4...3...2....1..all systems go power up complete you may now enter. Alex began to turn the handle on the back of the power armor beginning to enter it making sure all of his limbs were in the correct position so they wouldn't be crushed when the suit clamped down and all the components locked in place...his arms wouldn't be crushed.

Alex adjusted his arms and began to move around as he was getting used to this armor as it wasn't his T-45 edition given to him when he turned into a field agent. He then took a look around as he slung his double bag over the power armors shoulder with enough food to last him maybe a month if he rationed it correctly. He would try to get to field base ZETA and resupply with food water and another fusion core just incase. He then opened the door and a gust of wind rushed in as it didn't affect him since he was in the power armor. Double bag properly slung over him to look like a backpack. He held the laser rifle at a resting position as he started to walk out of the small outpost ready to greet anyone at ZETA base...if there was anyone left.

The HUD On the power armor was shown as the fuel gage was at 100 percent efficiency. Alex calculated the remaining time he had on this fusion core was about 2 months, he smiled happily as he didn't have to worry for a few days at all. After doing the math at the front of the door he began to walk forward leaving imprints in the snow as the wind blew past him not affecting him at all. Looking towards the sky the visor dimmed automatically so the eyes of the user was protected. He then looked forward over the vast snowy plains and the armors visor began to shorten as his line of vision was lessened so that he wouldn't get snow blindness from the Suns rays reflecting off the white snow.

Moving along the snowy wasteland he encountered a small patch of bland trees. They looked almost dead as this was filtered out by the lush ever green trees. He was astonished as this area on earth this one area on earth was not affected by the atomic blasts from the bombs that fell over the United States. He began to look as he spotted a small shack in the distance. Beginning to move forward he took a peak inside as there was a mutilated corpse of a wild deer. He didn't smell anything luckily but he did hear howling in the distance. He quickly readied his lazed rifle pointing it in all directions as he saw over at a cliff side 3 wolf heads peaking out of the cover.

The one in the middle assuming the alpha position, he then tilted his head as it started to howl and Alex chuckled as he was tearing up on how this was to funny. He began to yell underneath his power helmet "COME ON YOU FUCKS COME GET ME" he pounded on the metal chest peace "like you could bre--" his words were cut short by the sound of his breath exhaling he looked around and it was as if he was flying through the air. A yellow orange flame was exerted from the shack before blinking he was implanted in the snow. Breathing heavily as he regained his senses he started to stand up, the armor not even scratched by the explosion. But the double bag full of water food and the items required for survival was turned into ashes over the rubble of the cabin. He became Enraged pointing the gun up to the cliff firing of 3 shots, 3 short blasts of overheated light waves hit the cliff side leaving scorching burns. One of the shots hitting one of the wolfs on the muzzle, the faint squeal of it gave Alex the impression it was dead as that shot would make the muzzle of the wolf burn clean off. He didn't care by this point, he'd probably eat the dead wolfs body and cook it with the laser rifle on low setting temperature. He began to sit down whilst in the power armor. Sighing as he began to whistle a small tune looking at the laser rifle. "Oh I'm a wanderer...hmm Hahmmm hahmmmm".

hmm Hahmmm hahmmmm"
