Todd smokes a cigar as they wander their way down the rickity roads. Bandits come up behind them and start shooting at them. The duo quickly find cover and begin firing at the bandits. Tari gets hit in the arm, but is okay after a emergency stim-pac Todd had. The bandits are dead, and they notice the vehicle they were driving, and they take it.
They drive to the Launch Facility in a hour no problem. They park in the parking lot, and notice a Combine war ship coming through the portal, so they better hurry. They burst through the doors of the facility to see dead bandits, around a giant skag, which is eating the corpse of a bandit.
The skag notices them, and growls at them. Todd grabs his laser rifle, and aims it at the dog. Tari takes her M-16, and switches it to grenade mode. The skag charges at Todd, and Todd fires at the beasts open mouth. Tari fires the grenade into the Skags mouth, and the skag chokes on it abit, before it blows up.
They enter the building and find the button for lighting. The lights reveal a NASA spaceship, with a nuke that is inside the cargo. They find the desroyed autopilot controls with several piss stains on it. "Someone's gonna need to fly that thing, Todd." Said Tari. "I found Oz kit in the closet. Im going to fly the shuttle." Said Tari, knowing what needs to be done.
Todd stays silent, knowing that this means life or death for everything. Tari attaches the Oz kit, and enters the space shuttle. Todd tells Tari, "Good luck, space cowboy." as Tari launches the spaceship. Tari carfully navigates the asteroids as she flys up to the ship. She sets the ship on auto pilot, as she arms the nuke to detonate when she activates a comand on her Echo Eye.
Todd walks outside to see a nuclear blast, taking down the Combine war ship. Todd salutes Tari, as he sits down. He looks at a photo from him coding Skyrim, and he throws it away to the wind.
