Erich woke up after his long sleep and rolled off the bed with a sigh, "Cass!" He shouted.

"In here!" she shouted back, "I found the kitchen!" Sure enough, Erich could smell an omelet cooking.

He sighed again and walked towards where her voice was coming from, "Cass... I have to go away for a while. I need to be alone... Do you know what I mean?" He asked.

She sighed, "Yeah... I guess I'm ok with it. Make sure you come back to me." She said, leaning on his chest and attempting to wrap her arms around him, barely able to lock her fingers behind his back.

"Don't you remember?" Erich said, "I'm immortal" He teased.

She pulled one of her hands from behind his back and reached up, jabbing him in the forehead, "You come back!" she shouted.

Erich winced as she poked the healing wound, "Fine, fine." He said in pain. He went back and got dressed, putting on his glasses, holstering his guns.

He walked out of his suite at the tops, going down to the casino level. He walked into the restaurant and sat at the bar, "Ok, I want... Carrot juice with a crushed jalapeƱo in it with scotch, blended into one large glass and add a whole lakelurk egg to it."

The bartender nodded, "One wasteland breakfast coming up." He said with a smile, leaving to go make the drink.

The bartender returned and handed Erich his drink, Erich handed him four 20 NCR bills, taking his change in the two bottlecaps the bartender handed back. Erich downed his drink quickly, nodding before heading out of the restaurant and out to the strip. He looked around the strip and walked out, walked out past freeside, and began to walk south, his walk developed into a jog as he craved being away from it all.

It was dark by the time he reached Nipton. He looked at the ruined city, ruined by the legion, the burning tires still sending black smoke into the sky. He sat on the steps of the city hall, looking even further south. It was dark, and he could see a light. He stood and looked through his sniper scope at the light. There was a billboard and it was lit up, an eye moved on screen. Erich put away his gun and began to walk towards the screen. He saw the source of the projection, a downed satellite. He walked up close to it and touched it gingerly. It flashed and he lost consciousness.
