Tags wakes up at his table and rubs his head. He must have fallen asleep while working. He noticed the micrasos sat on his table looking at him curiously.

Tags rubs his face.

Tags: never use metal sheeting as a pillow.

He says lifting his head off of the reinforced steel.

Tags looks at the huge pile of books next to him. He looks through some of them and find the one that looks like it'll be the most useful.

Tags opens it and looks at the contents at the chapters. He may as well read one. He flips to the page about what it eats.

Tags slowly reads through it.

A micrasos can eat basically anything that has nutritional value in it due to their powerful stomach acid. It is an omnivore but prefers flesh over organics. It drinks most liquids as well but it drinks water mostly. They are fierce hunters but will scavenge if needed so they need little care from their mothers at a young age.

Tags lowers the book to see the micrasos staring at him with deep intent.

Tags: so if your going to stick around I assume I'll have to give you a name.

Tags thinks for a moment and looks at the creatures scales.

Tags: blue...

The micrasos seems excited by this.

Tags: that's not your name I was just thinking.

It stops and looks upset.

Tags: it can be blue if you want.

It seems pleased.

Tags: blue it is then.

Tags pats his head and stands up turning his back to leave. The micrasos jumps on his back and stands on his shoulder clinging to his back. (Like BD-1 off of Star Wars fallen order)

Tags grabs his sniper, his plasma assault rifle and places his colt 2978 in his holster and opens the door and leaves.

Jerry: I see he seems happy.

Tags: yeah.

Jerry: did you read the books?

Tags: I read a chapter and got bored. I'll read them later.

Jerry: but there is so much you need to know. You need to read them ASAP-

Tags: got off of my back dickhead I know what I'm doing.

Tags says as he walks off and climbs down the ladder.

Tags walks down the street. Someone is suddenly thrown out of a window and quickly shot dead right in front of tags.

Man: that'll teach you to cheat at poker bitch ass.

Tags just keeps walking down the street as he takes in the atmosphere of his town.

People robbing innocents at gun point just for a beer.

Some undercover militia trooper blending in to well and making it obvious.

A group of kids beating an old guy.

A DGU recon bot.

A dead guy.

Tags: wait a minute.

Tags turns around at all the scenes he just walks past.

The DGU recon bot is new. And not good. Luckily it's just the one.
