reinforcements after this

spectacle.

You've got enough guns

here to fight them off.

Or you could just

bail out of town.

We're not bailing

anywhere, this is our town.

And you got it back.

None of this is my problem.

We could use the extra gun.

The girls are dead weight in a

fire fight.

Sounds like they're

slowing you down.

They're gonna try

to come take back the water.

F*** that guy

Neve, he's a dick!

He's kind of a badass,

we could use his help.

Take what you need, and leave.

Don't get killed over this well.

If it was just me, I would, but

I got them to look out for.

We're no better

off in the Wasteland.

Do what you must,

but I can't stay.

Just stay overnight at

least. If we're prepared, we

can probably manage.

You girls are gonna need

to toughen up sooner or later.

I know you're tired, and some

extra water won't hurt.

[CRICKET SOUND EFFECTS]

[BIRDS CHIRPING SOUND EFFECT]

Hey.

Slipping outta here,

huh? Where ya headed?

Saw a scrapyard on my way here,

a little ways to the west.

Thought I'd try to

find something useful.

Mind if I tag along?

Workin' on a nano-splicer,

could use some parts for it.

I suppose.

JUNK DEALER:
That bit, you know

there's good stuff inside there. Huh?

Right inside there, you can

see it... Okay....Hmmm.

For sure.

You can tell there's plenty

of things to use here.

This, uh, some sorta

neural... modification...

Messiah Corporation!

[TRUCK WHEELS WHIR]

Pre-War.

An exercise in futility

Crichton. You're wasting your

time, and more

importantly, mine.

CRICHTON:

I can kill you easily.

You exist because of me!

You're different from your

predecessors. If technology

allows us to defy and surpass

our creators, then that should

be the natural order of things.

One cannot expect to procure

anything of value from filthy

peddlers such as this.

Are you... you sure you

don't want anything?

I'll give you a discount.

[PISTOL SHOT]

[ROBOTIC LIKE COUGHING SOUND]

[CINEMATIC AMBIENCE SOUNDS]

You know what will

happen without the tech.

Thanks for walking me back.

Hey, uh, I was thinkin'.

If those guys back there decide

to make it up this way, maybe

I should stay here tonight.

If it's alright with you.

Stay as long as you'd like.

Here.

For your nano-splicer.

You can use the actuators.

You know a little about

everything don't you?

[OMINOUS AMBIENCE ENSUES]

Rhyous?

Thanks.

[WIND SOUND]

[DRUM SOUND EFFECT]

Hey Neve? NEVE!

[DRUMMING SOUND

EFFECT CONTINUES]

What's goin' on?

God damnit. Hold your fire.
