holds up the .44 round Look at this, damn thing's practically shinin'. Means somethin', don't it?
notices Rusty's trembling hands Fuck's sake, Rusty! Keep still, will ya? Don't wanna blow this whole thing.
takes a deep breath, steady himself Yeah, yeah, I got it. Sorry for the dramatics. So, what do we make of this?
rolls his eyes Well, Sherlock, ain't that obvious? But what's it doing here? And why the hell is it so goddamn clean?
maybe it fell out of a car?
snatches the bullet from mwry's hand Fell out of a car? Seriously? You think someone just casually tossed a fucking bullet out the window?
my name is alrath and i am a scientist
raises an eyebrow A scientist, huh? Well, doc, I hope you're as good at analyzing shit as you are at coming up with theories.
what exactly do you think i should be looking for?
waves his hand dismissively Shit, I don't know. Maybe some hidden treasure map? A cryptic message or something.
grabs mwry by the collar Listen up, Alrath. I may not be a scientist, but I know a damn thing or two about treasure maps.
pulls out a crumpled piece of paper Alright, check this out. Found it in a hidden compartment of an old antique shop.
wow you are good at finding stuff!
smirks Ain't I just a damn treasure hunter? Now, take a look at this map. It's supposed to lead us to an abandoned bunker.
As Rusty and mwry venture towards the abandoned bunker, they encounter a group of hostile raiders who ambush them
let's try to negotiate with them
steps forward, hands raised Hey there, raiders! Look, we're just a couple of treasure hunters trying to find something of value. No need for violence, right?
yea we just need to pass through please
narrows his eyes Oh, come on, guys. We're just passing through, I promise. You can't stop us. We won't give you any trouble, I swear.
your friend said we were going to pass through peacefully
leans in close, whispers Look, raiders, I don't trust you one bit. But if you let us pass through without any trouble, I'll make sure to keep my mouth shut.
looks at rusty he's right we won't cause any trouble.
crosses his arms Fine, but don't think for a second we won't fight back if you try anything stupid.
you guys have guns right?
smirks Of course we've got guns, sweetheart. But look at us, all nice and shiny. We wouldn't want to get blood on these beauties now, would we?
pulls out a small smoke bomb from his pocket We make a run for it. I'll hold them off while you create a distraction.
Looks at the smoke bomb You've got to be kidding me. That better be one hell of a distraction.
lights the fuse on the smoke bomb Don't worry, sweetheart. This little baby will create enough chaos to get us out of here.
throws the smoke bomb towards the group of raiders, creating a thick cloud of smoke Now, let's make a run for it! Follow me!
runs alongside mwry, firing shots at the raiders Keep moving, Alrath! Don't look back! We've got to reach that bunker before they catch up to us!
