POV the courier
I'd been exploring this place, this Moon Nexus, this place is old, so very old, like there is Pre-war, then there's this, pre-pre-war, I find the other gathered outside in the open. I flexed my hand, it hurt, it really damn well hurt, not sure I'll ever be able to shoot straight with this hand again, I take a second to look around the ruins here are truly beautiful. 

Lujanne the moon mage has given us all rooms, Ez and Callum, Messa and Rayla, Ellis and Ave, me and the wanderer, 'Us wastelands have to stick together,' she'd declared, she wasn't wrong, I smiled thinking of it.

I found Ezran and Callum with Bait, Zym, Ellis and Ava gathered around a fire, clearly, they weren't ready for bed,  I plopped myself down between Ava and Callum catching the end of Callum's story. "And it's said that they were never heard from again!" Callum said putting his hands up and wiggling his fingers. 

"Really?" Ezran asked a light terror on his face as he gripped a hold of Bait. 

"What's happening here?" I asked. 

"We're telling each other stories," Callum answered.

"I've got a story or two if you'll have me," I said.

"Sure thing, but it's Ezran's turn first," Callum added.

POV 3rd person

swords clashed as Rayla took another swipe at the lone wanderer, who elegantly blocked with her electrified sword, the wanderer ducked down and threw Rayla over her and disorating the elf briefly. Rayla recovered in time to block and curved her sword ripping the blade from the lon wanderer's grasp. 

 "you win this time," the lone wanderer said walking over to a bench and sitting, catching her breath.

"Soooooo," Rayla started. "Where did you learn to use that sword? you're very good," Rayla asked. 

"Self-taught mostly got it out of a fancy pre-war cash, but been using it awhile now," The Lone wanderer said. "Now if I can ask you something, have you told them?" 

Rayla felt her heart skin. "What do ya mean?" she asked. 

The wanderer looked around, making sure they were alone. "about their father," her tone turned to stone.

 "I don't... I don't think I can." Rayla tensed up.

for a moment the wanderer thought of what she had to tell Six, about Lucy. "Six tell you much about me?" 

Rayla shook her head. "He's said you were a friend, but not much about you," she said.

"I lost my dad, I wasn't as young as them," the Wanderer said. "I know that pain,"

 "so do I," Rayla muttered. " but how do you break that news to someone?" She asked. 

"you just have to tell them," The Wanderer said. "I was 19 when it happened, he left the vault, and after months of searching, I found him, and....a day later, he was dead, the people behind it paid, and they'll keep paying," 

Rayla remained quiet. 

POV the courier

Ezran told this story of an old man and a dragon, it was interesting-ish, he's got a flair for the dramatic. "Six," Callum said. "it's your turn," 

"So some quick back story," I started. "I've spent a long travelling the desert, day I met this man, he was in this old black suit of power armour, he was a storyteller, even had his own eye-bot, we traded stories around a campfire much like this," I stopped for a moment thinking on that stranger. 

"he told me, about the man from Vault 13, one day, this man went out from his home, on this great mission they leader, the overseer, this man, whos name is long lost to time travelled, he went from town to town, helping and defending people, he set up water caravans so the people in his home could have water, this man made a name for himself, the vault dweller, he arrived in this city filled with..." I had to stop for a moment how do you describe a ghoul to someone who's never seen someone? 

"the living dead, men who had been around for over 100 years, the leader of these people needed help, the city was under siege, these tall green monsters, the weapons of the city army wasn't able to fight, so Vault Dweller and his new friends,


After that, I wait for a response. "That was interesting," Callum says. "I liked it so did zym and bait," ezran say whit his happy tone. "Well thank you, Ez, and others. Anyway, I'm off to find the other two" I say as I stand up. "I think they went that way," Callum said pointing east. "Okay, I'll see you. Hang on where is ED-E?" I ask. They both Shrugged. "great. Just bloody great I've lost my robot." I say sarcastically. "Zym says he was with lujanne earlier" ezran explains. "Thanks, I'll see you all later," I say with a smile as I leave. It took me a few minutes to find them. "lujanne, ED-E there you are" I call out as I see them. Happy beeping form ED-E. "Ah, hello your friend was just telling me about you." She says with a calming voice. "Wait you can understand ED-E?" This straight-up shocked me. "Yes, she's quite easy to understand" lujanne explained. "If you know what you're doing yes, yes, she is. Anyway ED-E we should go and find Rayla and Morgan." ED-E responded with an enthusiastic beep. "Courier, may I ask you a question?"

"Sure," I say to her. "Why do you do what you do?" I start to laugh a lot. I stop for a moment. "Oh sorry. That just reminded me of someone I used to know" I say. This does bring back a slew of memories. Most bad. "Did that person has black brides and some kind of metal face cover?" My heart sunk when she said that. I could feel the tears swelling up. "How.... How did" I took a deep breath. "Do... Do you know his name?" I hope to God that she does not say what I think she going to say. "It has been a few years. I think his name was Ulysses" my eyes go wide the tear falling down. It feels like fire on ice. "No, no, no" is all I could say. "Are you okay" but I didn't answer I just left. I barged into my room slamming the door shut. I lad against the far wall. I pulled my recon beret and chucked it across the room. As I start to cry uncontrollably.

POV 3rd person
ED-E beeps sadly. "You're right, go find his friends," lujanne says to the eye-bot as she takes off. First, he passed by Callum, ezran, bait and zym. Beeping quickly. Callum looks at ezran after ED-E pasted. "What? What did he say?" Callum asks questioningly. "Something about six being sad" Ezran says loudly. "Where?" Callum asks again.

ED-E find Rayla and the wanderer as they meet midway. "This side clear. What about your side?" Morgan asks. "clear" Rayla says when ED-E suddenly busted through a bush. "ED-E what the" Morgan was about to continue when the small robot starts to beep again. "What it's saying?" Rayla asks. "If I'm honest I'm not entirely certain. My best guess is that something has happened to six" he explained. "Then why are we standing here if he needs our we should go, led the way metal ball" ED-E followed this up with a determined beep. Rayla and Morgan following closely. When they arrived they found Callum and ezran with both bait and zym. "What going on?" Morgan asked as he saw the two. "We're not sure he won't open the door," Callum said. "What got him in there?" Rayla asks
"No idea," Callum said slightly concerned. "Let me try something," Morgan says. "Six we're coming in now. So if you're behind the door move" the wanderer opens the door. The Courier was against the back wall. knees around his head. "Six" Callum called out. "He can't be alive he can't" six mumbles. "Who?" Ezran asks. After a minute six got up is eyes bloodshot. His nose running. He sat on the bed. "The one person I hoped beyond all was dead." He takes a deep breath and wipes the tears from his eyes. "Ulysses" upon that most in the room seemed shocked. "Six, I thought you said he died in a nuclear bomb exploding," Morgan says.
"I don't know-how. But lujanne seems to have met him. He died four years ago. How is that possible?" Six yells.
"We'll deal with it together no matter what," Rayla says. "You've got a second off me," Morgan says. "And me, bait and zym" Ezran add. "And me" Callum finished. "Okay, okay," six said with a smile creeping onto his face. "come on then it's later we should all get some shut-eye," six said. "That a good idea," Callum said. "Come on Ez," he says leaving the room with him. "I'll go back on Patrol," rayla says. "I'll with you," Morgan says. "Six I'll see you in the morning. ED-E stay here with him" with this they left. The courier was left to his own thoughts.
