Recovery

Shots echoed down the hall of the Enclave base as a man in a simple duster charged down the halls. He was followed by the Lyons Pride, an elite fighting force from the Brotherhood of Steel. Their charge was a long, one as they were constantly ducking into halls and rooms, desperately searching for the one person they came to rescue.

"WHERE IS HE LYONS?!" The man in the duster screamed as he threw down a rifle and picked up a plasma rifle dropped from a guard.

"I don't know B.A.; you're the one who led us here!" Sarah Lyons said.

"Good point!" The gruff man said as he grabbed a man in a radiation suit and ripped the helmet off. He threw the man to the ground and aimed the plasma rifle at him. "Kid from the rotunda, where is he?" The scientist's face was pale as he stuttered the directions. "Much appreciated…" A second later the scientist's head was green goo.

Again the Pride and their guide moved through the hallways of the base eradicating the Enclave as they popped up. Then they came to the finality of the directions. Before them stood a large door that spanned the entire hall and the gruff B.A. noticed a terminal.

"Looks too complicated for me…" B.A. said with a grunt.

"Kodiak." Sarah Lyons nodded to one of her men.

"Wait…" B.A. said as he stepped up to the door and set a series of mines and even a few missiles right next to it. "Let's see how blast proof this door is."

"We don't have time…" Lyons snapped. "Pick the gear up and let Kodiak do his job."

"Right yeah sure…" B.A. grunted as he shoved the items back into his pack.

"Why do you even carry that much explosives around anyway?" Colvin, a member of the Lyons Pride asked.

"Why not?" B.A. responded as he pulled out a cigarette and used the end of an energy cell to light it.

"Got it." Kodiak said as the door creaked and shook open.

The room before them was small, and more of an alcove than a room. What shook the entire group was that the man they had come searching for was held up and strapped securely to the wall while wires and cables ran into the back of the neck and at several points to his body. What was once darkly tanned skin now paled as if near death, his face was slightly altered as if someone tried and failed to remove his Asian features and his hair once brightly dyed was now back to its natural black state.

"My God…" Sarah gasped. "What did they do…"

"I dunno…" B.A. grunted as he walked into a room around the corner and spotted a cowering scientist. "Let's ask him though…" The large man said as he stalked over to the scientist and dragged him to the alcove. "Start explaining…" B.A. said. "No science talk either…"

"We've used captured alien and Commonwealth tech to make an enhanced cyborg…" The Scientist said. "He's not even finished."

"How so?" Sarah asked.

"Reprogramming him is…" The scientist saw B.A. loading a magnum. "…diff-difficult."

"Always was a tough little bastard." B.A. said as he leveled the gun at the scientist. "I think he needs some fresh air."

"B-b-but…" The Scientist muttered; the cocking of B.A.'s gun quickly changed his mind. "It might take a few minutes…"

"Got all the time in the world sonny, all the time…" B.A. smiled as he turned to look down the hall.

"We should set up in case of backup." Lyons said.

"I got friends taking care of that." B.A. smiled.

"The punk and the robot?" Lyons arched a dubious eyebrow.

"Say what you will but that boy is one hell of a shot with a sniper rifle." B.A. winked.

A few minutes later B.A. caught the unconscious body that dropped from the alcove, while the Lyons Pride mobilized to fight their way back out. They were prepared to die in this enemy base for this man.

"Who is he to you anyway?" The scientist asked.

"Geez, they don't tell you idiots anything do they?" B.A. snapped. "He's the Lone Wanderer who spanked your president into the next life!"

"We call him Loupe Weng though…" Sarah said as she helped B.A. carry the unconscious hero out.

"And he saved the entire fucking wasteland…" B.A. said he fired over his shoulder and splattered the scientist's brains all over the alcove, B.A. left a lingering look on the alcove. "Kodiak, help Lyons take him out of here…"

"Oh you aren't gonna do what I think you are, are you?" Knight Captain Dusk groaned.

"Can't let them do this again." B.A. said as he once again emptied his entire explosive ordinance, this time thug he placed the explosives at specific parts of the alcove and even set the body of the scientist in the pod Loup was in and tied a trip wire to the body with several frag grenades and mine as well as the missiles he had.

"Seriously, how do you carry all that?" Clovin asked.

"I'm special." B.A. said. "And you're not." Then he punched in the close command on the door. "Let's get the fuck out of here shall we?"

"You know here I am thinking you're out for number one…" Lyons said as B.A. once again helped to carry the unconscious Loup.

"Hey they hurt the kid…" B.A. said. "Can't let them get away with hurting a member of the community."

"Right, loyal to the Vault." Lyons said. "Where do we take him? The Citadel has what we need to help him."

"No it doesn't…" B.A. said as he looked at his Pip-Boy. "There's a marker on here from when they scanned his Pip-Boy, I went there already and I got a cold greeting, we take him there."

"Why?" Lyons asked.

"Ninja look after their own." B.A. said with a huff.

"You're joking right?" Lyons asked. "Right?"

"I wish…" B.A. grunted as they pushed out into the wasteland where Butch Deloria and a very enthusiastic robot were holding back what little backup the Enclave had to send.
