"Alright Raul, will try to fix that car up..."

"I'm sure Boone and Arcade could help out, boss."

"Maybe even Lily!" Six joked.

"She would, wouldn't she dear-y!" Raul joked, imitating their night kin friend.

"Come on Raul let's head back to the strip get their help."

"Beep beep!"

"You to ED-E!"

After a few hour walk the three arrived back at the strip. With sore feet and the setting sun the two were eager to go up into the pent house of the lucky thirty eight. Victor the cowboy robot greeted Six when the two arrived up in the pent house.

"Hello Dear-y!" Lily greeted, gripping Six in a rib cracking hug.

"Hello Lily!"

"Hello Boone!" Raul greeted.

The Sniper tilted his head, in recognition of the Ghoul. Cassidy looked up from her terminal and waved to six and Raul. Raul sat down at the table and continued the discussion with arcade about what was best for the wasteland. After a few moments they were interrupted by ED-E playing a old audio log. Six sat down beside Veronica, placing his helmet gently on the small table beside them. Rex came rushing to great his master, with a warm droll covered tongue.

"So find the cause of the signal?" Veronica asked.

Six commanded Rex to sit, the cyber dog laid down at his boots. "Yeah it's way out on the east cost, some where called 'new York'. Raul thinks he saw a car he could fix up to drive us there." Veronica smiled, the brother hood had tried and failed many times in repairing a military vehicle hidden within the deeper levels of hidden valley's bunker.

"You know what, Six I can pull some strings and get you a few parts from the brother hood."

"Thanks Veronica, just don't do anything unnecessary. I'm sure Boone, Arcade, Lily and I can get what we need." Six suggested.

Veronica smiled, "What did you think I was going to do? Sleep with a engineer to acquire entrance to our stock."

Six's cheeks blushed, as a nervous smile appeared on his face. Veronica continued the joke, "Actually now that I think about I've all ways wanted to try a guy out." Six's jaw hung low and he was speechless. Veronica smiled, then spoke, "Relax, Six I'm only tugging your chain. I'm sure if I just ask they would just want some recordings from over there. Now the real question is who are you bringing?"

"I was thinking ED-E and Raul. Raul to keep the car going. ED-E to record our visit." Six affirmed.

Veronica gave a agreeing nod, "At dinner tonight bring it up to everyone," Six nodded, he liked the sound of the plan.

[The Lone Wanderer]

"So we are walking all the way to there?" Fawkes asked.

"Yeah- why'd you ask?" Sophie said digging through her pack again. She picked it up and moved it through her megaton shack, to the second floor.

"Well, We have no idea how north we need to go. It unsettles me a bit..."

"You unsettled?" Sophie asked.

"Yeah - I have only been in the capital wasteland all my life and I only left the vault a few months ago when I met you." Fawkes said pulling a nuka-cola from the fridge.

"Well I have been out only slightly longer then you, I think it's exciting. Besides what else could we face tougher then Death claws and don't tell me your afraid of them cause I've seen you rip one apart with your bare hands." Sophie said, she moved into her room.

"Well, that was because the death claw was busy with you."

"Don't ever say 'death claw was busy with me' ever again." Sophie called, "It's sounds a lot more dirty then you think, Fawkes."

"Only cause you took it that way!" Fawkes called back.

"Just shut up and pack," Sophie called poking her head from her room.

"Anyways, why are you changing?" Fawkes asked, pulling his bag out from under the couch.

"Because I need to change, I've been in that jumpsuit for about three weeks." Sophie called.

"I didn't need to know that." Fawkes said.

The two carried on silently, both preparing for the long walk. Fawkes had found a Brahmin which he begun packing with food and water. Dog meat and Gob from the saloon gave him a hand. Sophie had changed into combat armour and had gathered weapons, ammo and a few treats for Dog meat. The two had attracted the Brotherhood's attention. The brother hood sent with them a modified enclave eyebot to follow and film their march North.

What no one realised now was that two of the most influential and powerful wastelanders.
