Reunion

Richard couldn't believe his eyes. His father was standing right in front of him, he wondered if it was a just a dream, but unfortunately it wasn't. So many questions ran through his mind, what happened to him, how did he get here, how did he survive? So many questions plaguing his mind he wanted to ask right now, but the one question he wanted to ask right now was this, "Dad, are you real?"

"Yes son, I am real as real can be."

The next thing Richard did was hug his father, he couldn't believe he was alive! Even though he was happy to see him, he still needed to know something.

"How did you survive the purifier chamber, I saw you die in front of me."

"I thought so as well, but apparently, Autumn managed to crawl over to my body and inject me with an advanced Enclave Rad-x." James said shrugging his shoulders.

"Well I guess that explains one thing, but still, how did you get here?"

"I believe I can explain that." Madison said.

"The enclave had rounded many of us scientists to work on the technology at Area 51, we didn't have much choice in the matter, so we had no choice but to work. Let me be clear on one thing though, we did not enjoy working for them, even more so when you practically have a gun pointed to your head." Doctor Li said with clear venom in her voice.

"Alright but how did all of you get here?"

"When the NCR and Brotherhood got close to taking the facility, the officers there wanted us to activate the teleportation gate," she said, "We told them, that it was completely unstable and it wasn't ready yet to open and make a jump. But, instead they rushed us and opened the portal, but not before, it caused a rupture, and teleported everyone, including the facility here."

Richard was about to reply until someone else came in, "Madison, have you talked to the leaders yet?" There stepped in a woman who had her black hair tied into a bun, with streaks of white alongside as well from stress and fatigue. She had blue eyes like Richard, pale white skin, and was wearing a lab coat like Doctor Li and his father. Richard was just examining this woman, until his father spoke.

"Catherine, I'd like you meet Richard, our son."

When James said this, Richard was shocked to the core, more than anything else in his life. This was his mother? This was his mother, who died of cardiac arrest? 'How was possible. Dad said that she had died of cardiac arrest.' He thought. He was lost in his thoughts, that he didn't see his mother speaking.

"Richard, are you alright?"

"Huh, um yeah, but are you really my mother?" he asked dying to know if it really was his mother in front of him.

"Yes son, I am your mother." She stated calmly.

That sentence finally proved it, the woman before him really was his mother. The shock of seeing both his father and mother was just too much for him, that he passed out.

In the Medical Tent

Richard awoke he was on a bed, and he could hear the beeping of medical equipment inside. With a groan as he sat upright, only to turn to his left and see his mom and dad.

"It seems that it really wasn't a dream." He said.

"No, but it's good to see my boy already a handsome young man." Catherine said, as she looked him over. She spotted that he had her bright blue eyes, but had the spitting image of his father too. But when she looked deeper in his eyes, she saw the same determination James had, the kind that said, "I can get shit done, no matter what."

"My God, you really do look like your father, and your eyes tells me that you also have his determination."

"Thanks, mom." He replied back, a bit embarrassed.

"Anyway, mom, what happened to you, I thought you died from cardiac arrest?"

His parents then looked down to the floor, ashamed.

"That's what I told you son, but in reality, she was taken." His father said sadly.

"Taken? What do you mean?"

"I was taken by the Enclave, they raided the purifier, and wanted to get James but got me instead. They took me to Black Rock Mountain and many other places and forced me to help them. Some of the things I was forced to make, I was not proud of." Catherine replied sadness clear in her voice.

"It was only until I was sent to Area 51 along with your father, and that he told me everything that happened to him and you. I could never be more proud of what you did for the wasteland son, there were times I worried about your safety, but I knew you could take care of yourself. You did more than what your father and I could ever hope to do."

"Well, I guess this really explains a lot, but its still good to see you two." As he got up and hugged his parents, and they two returned the gesture.

"Now then, mind telling me why the hell you were in Area 51?" his tone back to the matter at hand.

"The Enclave wanted scientists to unlock the secrets of the alien technology, and use it for their own nefarious purposes," his father said, "If the NCR and the brotherhood in the west didn't come before hand, I'd say the Enclave may have won the battle. Plus, judging from the armor your wearing, you had quite an adventure, mind telling us what happened after the purifier?"

He was about to answer back when his communicator chimed in, it was Sally, "Hey Richard, just wanted to check on you, thanks for the present, also I checked the lab, your project's done!" At this Richard then told his parents to meet him outside while he spoke into his communicator, his parents were confused at what he could be implying.

"Margret can you teleport the package here?"

"Yes I can, but what is this "special" package that you keep from me and everyone else, well except Sally. You seem to trust her with your secret projects, what are you hiding?" Margret said, her tone sounded a bit annoyed.

"I'll be sure to send you video feed, but anyway, teleport it to my location please."

Then in the courtyard, a bright blue sphere appeared and something was materializing within. It was quite a sight since a lot of NCR troopers and Brotherhood soldiers came out and see what it is, with weapons raised. It was only afterwards that everyone saw that it was a big black metal box.

"Son, mind telling me what this is?" his father asked eyeing the metal box.

"Something that will blow your minds." As he began typing in his holographic keyboard and screens. Everyone soon enough came crowding around the metal container, including the Brotherhood of Steel, interested with what might be inside.

"A…nd done!" As he pressed a single button that then released the clasps on the container as steam poured out. Everyone seemed to be anxious for a moment until, they saw a giant hand grab the roof of the container. It slowly came out, and soon enough, they were seeing a bigger and bulkier version of his drones. The drones that came out of the container looked exactly the same as the other drones they saw, but they were colored black, along with a four-missile launcher pod on their right shoulder. They were much bulkier, and everyone could see the different specializations just by looking at the weapons they held.

The two on the left specialized in heavy weapons, both had a large minigun on its back, along with a rocket launcher that seemed to have six holes to fire from. On their thighs, they carried what seemed to be two sub-machineguns. On their right shoulders it said, "Big Daddy" while the other was, "Big Man"

The next two looked like they were engineers and the medics of the squad. They seemed to have a robotic arm on their left shoulder and a few mini drones circling them, and they only carry shotguns and sub-machineguns on their thighs. Their names as well had been etched on their shoulders, "Fixer" while the other was, "Jury Rigger."

The two next to them were most definitely close-quarters, since one had a shotgun in its hand, and sub-machineguns on its thighs along with two very large kukris on its upper arms and a katana on its back. The other one had what looked like a red power fist that cackled with electrical energy, and with the words, "Your face here!" with an arrow pointing to its fingers on its right arm, and seemed to carry only a handgun. The same could be said about the boots as well, like the power fist, it cackled with electricity but on its left it said, "Your ass here!" While the other on his right said "Your balls here!" But the rest on its back was, some kind of electrical chainsaw sword, and a very big energy axe. Just like the others they had names, one with the melee armaments was called, "Psycho," while his partner was called, "Butcher."

Then the next two were probably stealth specialists, since one had a large sniper rifle in one hand, and a large pistol in the other. The second one also had a sniper rifle, but seemed to have an assault rifle in its back and binoculars on its left thigh. Their names were "Blade" and the one with the binoculars was, "Shadow."

But the one that was different was the one that split the group in half. The drone stood in the middle of the group, and it seemed to be the leader of them since it had the insignia of the group that had a letter S on it on his right shoulder. (Think of the captain's shoulder in Section 8) He held the same assault rifle like the drones did, but with a missile launcher as well on his back, two sub-machineguns on his thighs, and a power sword on his hip, all while he held two pistols in his hands. His name on his left shoulder was, "Boss." It was also there that when the group got out of the container, and everyone in the vicinity had their mouths agape along with the Night Elves who arrived to see what the commotion was, while Richard was smiling like an idiot. That's when the drone in the middle spoke.

"Sir, Sigma Squad reporting for duty. What can we kill for you today?"
