Chapter 7: War, war never changes

actually bothered him because he remembered the words Burke said. Then his thoughts went back to the mission. He had made a deal with Tennpenny, making sure that The mall could have a battalion of soldiers stationed there. This would definitely make sure that the south-western trade routes would be secured in the nearest future, but also that part two of the RoboCo plan could be implemented.

"So how did it go?" Gustavo asked while giving him back his weapons.

" Prepare to get a bunk mate" TLW answered while taking up his Pip-boy. He found the designated frequency to the Brotherhood of Steel.

" We have made a deal with Tennpenny, i am ready to go too stage two.

" Affirmative, the Vertibird squadron will move ASAP, do you need pick-up?"

" No, can walk, its a easy two hours walk."

"Roger that, see you there." The channel went silent.

He liked to walk, he could actually think about things when the only thing on his visual frontier was the red wasteland of the city formerly known as Washington. The one that bothered him now was the word of Burke of the mysterious man. The man leading the slavers. He had seen some reports from the scouts not many days ago. They told about better equipped and more aggressive slavers. And even though The Brotherhood Vertibirds had raids against the trade routes, the business increased. That meant that someone or something were buying slaves in big quantum. Could Tennpenny be right, that no matter what, all could all be destroyed when the human urge of war come. His train of thought was interrupted by a sound of something penetrating the sound wall. It was the Vertibird squadron on their way to the facility. It passed over him and disappeared into the horizon.

It took him 2 hours before he reached the facility. At that time the others had been busy. A guard posts and some tents were already placed up, and there was a two meter high barbwire fence around the facility. The soldiers saw at once who it was that were coming and saluted even though TLW did not have any military grade. Lyons and the rest of the brotherhood was actually quite sceptical of letting the ordinary army organize themselves the same was as they did. The fact that there were an outcast organization somewhere out in the wild proved that. So there was some leaders, and some ordinary soldiers.

"How is things going?" he asked the soldier that was standing guard. He was dressed in the green military armor and had a 30 mm machine gun in his hands. A bad weapon under these circumstances where he had clear vision of enemy moments much longer than the effective radius of the machine gun.

" Good sir, Annabelle are in there with some people that is expert in these kind of things. Me and my soldiers have fortified the area. I think we have control."

" And who is in charge."

" I am!" a voice in the background said. He recognised the voice, last time he heard it, he was trying to hunt down an android that who had somehow became self-aware. After a long search he decided to keep the identity of the android secret, not wanting to become God and decide who was living and not.

" Harkness.." TLW said loudly.

"Nice to see you again. I heard that our mission here had you as a central part of it." The android was looking like a pretty and fit human. You had to cut through the syntetic skin before you would realise that he had kilometeres of wires inside of him."
