A Change of Plans (wip)

Salvation

When I finally came to it I realise that i am being driven into a place that never used to exist, well not for me I don't pay attention to the growth of zones... or the creation for that matter, the Engineer Zone.

"what's going on?" inquired the guy next to me.

"Well... seeing as you got kicked out for betraying the Death Riders, I guess you could say we are 'recruiting you'... no joke." replied the driver. "And i'm guessing you got kicked out too Mr. Dusty?"

I stayed quiet. I didn't want to talk much. Not after what happened the last time I spoke to the leader. That shut me up for good. As we stopped there's a man waiting for us. He was tall (about 6'7. again... taller than me), kinda skinny and slightly blind.

"Ok... so these are the outcasted, dirty, sack of bones you managed to scrape of the dirt?" "yes sir!" replied the driver. "Uh... sir they're over here."

"I knew that!" snapped the man.

After about two hours of speeches, initiations and rules, I am able to enter the establishment. But I am soon stopped by a man who said I needed to be searched, just in case I am a carrier for bombs or someone that needed to alert the Death Riders of a new settlement, or of an existing one.

I sigh with relief as it seems i'm clear for entry... I'm quite surprised that the leader didn't give me a suicide gift, while the other was detained and... well I can't describe it... it's too disgusting to even think about it, but every time I do I wanna throw up.

But disgusting bits aside, i'm already seeing how much this place means, not just to the people in the area but to the planet. I'm starting to see why people are happy here... No-one is yelling at one another to go and do something. No-one is miserable or grumpy but more happy and cheerful, even if they see an ex-Death Rider.

As I entered the tavern someone was already there to greet me.
