Chapter 4: I'm not mutated YAY!
I'm sorry,I'm sorry,I'm sorry,I'm sorry,I'm sorry,I'm sorry,I'm sorry,I'm sorry,I'm sorry,I'm sorry,I'm sorry,I'm sorry,I'm sorry,I'm sorry,I'm sorry,I'm sorry,I'm sorry,I'm sorry,I'm sorry.
I know i said was going to update a week ago but SOOO much crap happened all at once i couldn't even make a CHAPTER for an update. I won't bore with the details or give an excuse. All will say is that I won't be able to update regularly, for now. I might be able to again in later months but until then I might update at any time. It could be next week or next month but I will update.
Also I can actually write back to reviews I had gotten a few :D
*open phone for review page*
OK, now
15delgizzij,
Ya I completely did not notice the connection between self heating armor and the fire nation ; /. The armor heating thing was a spur of the moment addition before I updated. I might change stuff in that chapter later on, I hate leaving a mistake stay a mistake when I can easily fix it. Sorry about that, at least I got Katara's character right, mostly. :P
Ya, I hope this can be considered a good story too, one day. It's a dream but we have to wait and see if my writing skills and story is up to par. I also agree that Enclave don't always to be evil. They easily can be good guys in any story.

"What do you mean we can't get a signal!?" General Autumn yelled towards the radio technicians. The woman recoiled in fear as she quickly began to open a program on her computer.
"I-its like I said, sir, we can't get a signal from our satellites or radio's other than our own frequencies. Its as if they were never there to begin with." The radio officer said to Autumn as she showed him the empty frequencies that should have some kind of audio signatures but now are only flat and silent. The general grumbled as he paced in the radio room.
Most of the light were off, almost all the machines were lifeless save for the radio officer's controls, and only the neo green emergency lights were blaring. There excessive use of almost all their oil when powering the shield had caused them to now be forced to power the bunker at minimal capacity.
"Dam shield or whatever that dragged us here" The general thought as he thought upon the insanity of how they were transported, or if he would use the words of the scientists, teleported to a humongous land mass of rock and ice. It did not take long for the eggheads to theorize we were teleported to the antarctic but where we are is not the question.
It's where the hell did all the satellites signals disappear too.
The Enclave knew that there was an extraterrestrial species orbiting earth but, from what Enclave's personnel say, they have only chosen to experiment upon the wastelanders and not damage any type of orbital technology that they, the Enclave, have at their disposal.
Did the aliens finally decide to destroy the satellites?
If they did why now? Are they preparing to attack and want to halt any type of national communication. Or did they just get annoyed at having to dodge floating objects all the time and decided to destroy them.
After a few moment Autumn simply shook his.
No, that couldn't be it...their not involved in this at all. It was to much of coincidence of us being moved to the arctic and then all satellite signals were lost immediately after. There is no way that they are related.
A buzz from the intercom stopped his thought.
" Sir, Knight squad has returned with . They also are returning with what looks like to be tribals. Probably the same ones that helped the LC out of the water." Autumn quickly pressed the button on the intercom and told the man he will be there shortly. He turned towards the radio officer.
"Forget the satellites for now. Go get a weapon and head to the surface; we need to make sure Raven Rock is completely secured before anything else." He ordered before walking out of the room with whooshing sound of the door sliding open and closing.

The vertibird propellers slowly stopped as a small medical group stood nearby with a hospital bed. With the lights mostly off, leaving only the ominous green glow of the emergency lights to show the darker areas of the other vertibirds shadowed in darkness looking more to be some type of creature than machine. Add on to the fact that it was now dark outside causing the place to look more frightening, because of the lunar light coming from the open hanger doors,than it really is to the average tribal or wastelander. Thankfully both the siblings are still currently unconscious courtesy of both Jackal and Deadshot.
"And here I was thinking you were immune to the cold." Delta remarked to Navarro as he was removing the clamps that was holding Navarro in place. Navarro only grunted to Delta's comment.
Miles had lifted his helmet piece off and it now rest at the back of his neck with two clamps keeping it in its place. Allowing his brown hair, brown eyes, and slightly pale complexion to be freely seen by everyone. No facial hair of any sort but he does have a stern jaw line, a small stubby nose, thick eyebrows, and a small stubby chin; dark bags was under his eyes from his constant nightmares or late night computer involved couldnt really tell what type of linage he came from other white thanks to his skin because of severaly mutt bloodline.
Delta put his arm under Navarro's as he and ST, short for Santa Teresa, helped him up and moved him to towards a hospital bed on wheels. With Delta holding him up allowing ST to turn the wheel from his back causing his armor to lock up in a fixed position. Letting Navarro to fall out into ST's arms.
"Nice of you to drop in, wolf boy." A feminine hispanic-accented voice came from the Commando ASPA. Wolf boy, Navarro chuckled, it would seem it takes a life threatening situation to notice how many nicknames he's had in his short but yet very long life. Wolf boy, Werewolf, Chewbacca, Bigfoot, Knight, Deathdealer, Devastator and finally DeathKnight. So many names, so many different persona's. Each one of these names corresponded with a personality he had as he grew up. As you can tell he changed a lot over the years. That would be because of his very open minded personality which he still holds to this day.
Jose was one never to hold one philosophy and hold it in the highest esteem. His parents always told him to create his own opinions and thoughts about the things around him. Which is why he holds no anger to the mutated wastelanders and only them, every other mutated thing in the wasteland would get a flashy greeting from his laser or plasma weapon.
The wastelanders, however, he gives some sympathy to. They were humans who not only survived the Great War but also against the countless dangers across the world for generations. He respected that about them greatly. They might have the ability to heal faster or have better eyesight, heck, maybe even have glowing pee but they really shouldn't be killed for having an advantage that's just evolution. Or a deformity in the case of having glowing pee.
ST placed the LC on the gurney and the medical staff quickly placed multiple needles into him. After a few moment they quickly moved him to towards the medical wing, Elizabeth also came along. Barking orders to move faster and faster while simultaneously yelling at the people in the hallways to hug the walls. One of the doctors began to put a mask on LC's face after it was placed he smelled something funny before slowly falling asleep.

In the age before the Great War treating someone with frostbite would not need to be so demanding but with this being a post-apocalyptic world their are more than two dozens diseases you can get from simply being outside of sealed APA. Not to mention being in radioactive water. Plus this was Elizabeth's personal friend so he'll get the best treatment possible.
She quickly began getting blood samples to check if he had gotten anything. Along with a sample of her own blood just incase.
The other doctors and nurses were giving him Rad-X to his bloodstream and some sprays of Radaway for good measure before doing anything else to his body. Such as blood pressure, heart rate etc. Elizabeth had just finished placing the blood samples into a small glass tube and put into a piece of medical equipment made for identifying dangerous bacteria or viruses including radiation. Swiping away sweat from her head caused by the lack of air conditioning and running she began to walk towards Jose for further check ups. Until the doors slide open revealing two armored soldiers carrying a tribal over their shoulders.
Jackal and Deadshot.
Jackal or Justin James Hall is Knight Squads explosives, survivalist and CQC expert. His ancestor was a butler to one of the political officials who had cared enough take his ancestor with him. Racism and segregation was still very heavy in the South and Southeast at the time. So it was a bit unheard of for a white Southeastern businessman caring for his black butler. None of the less he was saved and now his descendants remain to be the few un-irradiated african americans in the world. Justin is calm minded and never curses, something the others tease him about. He is kind and caring but also loyal and strong. However, if you get him angry you will have one monster of a opponent. He stands at around 6'2 without armor and has a mustache and a stubbled chin. He also has a mini afro under his helmet and how he keeps that way no one knows.
Some of the girls had asked him how did it, because of their trouble keeping their hair from standing up. Which is happens because of the large amount of electricity going through the helmet. His response was hilarious, depending on who you were.
"It's a family secret ladies, Dad taught me." It turns out his dad also had a mini afro and he was able to keep it intact even when he wore his helmet when he served so it made sense for him to know the trick too.
Wearing Commando APSA with an image of a laughing canine on his left shoulder and an image of a old Knight's helmet with crossbones behind it on his right shoulder. The symbols of his callsign and squad. He carries the only kinetic weapons in the whole squad which was a M90 shotgun(Halo 3) that uses a plasma and gunpowder mixture and if any mutant got even closer for his shotgun to not work he has a two laser tips battle axes on his back
Deadshot, or Ryan Daniels, is another african american ancestor was the head foreman on the Poseidon oil platform. When the bombs dropped and the Enclave at the time arrived they had ordered their military escorts to force the workers off the rig. They however stopped when Ryan's ancestor told them that if they left the oil platform none of you would know how to repair or extract the oil rig. He also mentioned their lack of experience and the lack of mechanical engineer's with them. Those words not only saved all the workers but ensured them a permanent place into the Enclave for generations.
Ryan is their stealth operative, sabotage expert, and designated marksman. He's a dedicated, ruthless and homicidal individual. Ironically outside of his job persona he is the most quirkiest guy you would ever meet. He purposely mismatches his uniforms for a unique look, is obsessed with comics and a massive partier. Something you would never expect from a such an intimidating man. He wore the Ghost APA carrying an anti-material rifle retrofitted to use microfusion cells. He nicknamed it 'Babygirl' with the name tattooed on the side of the barrel in white, he is quite obsessed with it. He also carried a .44 caliber revolver with plasma rounds he nicknamed 'Shodi' the name,again, tattooed on the side of the barrel.
The leading doctor, which was Elizabeth, noticed them and quickly told the soldiers to place them down the room in the corner and to place the restraints on them. The medical room was large, able to fit a total of eight medical beds, a full complement of medical equipment and an operating table in all in one room. It's wall were painted white, white dividers were between each of the beds. Medical stands and trays were scattered about, some even had some medical tools left on them.
" Must of been left outside because of the commotion" She made a note to tell the staff to clean the room after they finished working on Jose. At the thought of her friend she turned to his table. It would seem he did indeed have major frostbite but thanks to many medical advancements before and after the Great War. A serum was created to heat the person's body up by a dozen degrees or so to heat up the freezing cold temperature. It would seem that the serums were out of date because they did not work on the ride back to Raven Rock. Instead symptoms began to show after he had gone to sleep. Now he was a sweating, twitching mess. Sighing she returned to the computer to check if the test were done, they were. The results widened her eyes slightly.
They had not been infected with any type of disease, thank god, but when she had also done her test for radiation levels.
Not a single point of radiation was shown in the blood.
That's impossible the air across the entire world is irradiated. Not a single place on Earth was untouched by the air. Then how did she and Jose not get some form of radiation. Especially Jose for his prolonged exposure with water that would have at least left some type of residue of radiation on his body.
"Ma'am" A voice spoke from behind her. She turned and found it was one of the doctors." The LC is stabilized but he has minor fever because of the serums but it nothing a day's rest won't fix."
" Thank you Michael, you and the rest of the staff can leave now." Michael nodded and began to leave followed by the rest of the medical staff.
Elizabeth stood beside Jose, holding his hand as he slept. A small grim smile sprung to her face.
"You asshole I thought I lost you." She said as she leaned down and kissed his forehead. As she rose her head she saw both Jackal and Deadshot standing near the tribals beds, standing at attention. It would appear they were sent to 'guard' them.
Moving away from Jose and closer to her new guests she was able to get a closer look at these tribals. They were young, maybe near their twenties, they look similar; sibling maybe? They looked fit, a little thin though. "Healthy" She thought and in that moment she connected something crucial.
If there is no radiation in the area would that mean that they are non-irradiated pure-blooded humans? Yes, would be the only answer to the question. There is no need for debate or more compilation. No radiation in the area means no radiation in a person's blood stream and any type of defect that comes with having it.
Elizabeth was excited.
"Finding this tribe would solve are decreasing biodiversity problem and give us more hope at finding humans who were untouched by the Great War" She thought as she began to take samples of both the siblings blood for testing. She did not need to ask permission from the Knight's she was at least three ranks higher than they were. The test would either further prove her theory or debunk it completely. As she anxiously waited for the results while seating on her chair staring at the computer screen a groan was heard from behind her. Both Jackal and Deadshot heard it as well.
"He just never stays down does he?" Elizabeth thought as she and both soldiers of Knight Squad walked towards the LC's bed.

He could barely feel his legs and the rest of his body felt numb and hot. He shivered before he exhaled heavily. It would seem the medicine they gave him hasn't worn off yet. He could feel the sweat covering his entire face; pulling on his blanket he cleaned his face off before opening his eyes.
Immediately he was hit with the blinding hospital light, flinching as he closed his eyes. He heard a squeaking sound soon after opening his eyes once again, blinking the lingering spots in his eye away. When his eyes adjusted he saw Jackal and Deadshot next to Elizabeth who had a small smile.
" You just never stay down for long now do you?" She said causing him the chuckle.
"Never have and never will" He answered getting the armored soldiers to laugh and gaining a larger smile from Elizabeth. The LC's smile soon turned a serious look staring at Elizabeth asking her a silent question; she sighed.
"Yes, they're here, both of them are few beds down from you. They are both still unconscious and also restrained no need to worry." She said before a spark grew in her eyes with a stern look."Guess what I found in our blood from my tests."
"Great, I bet we got a deadly disease and the only way to cure is by hunting large animal in a specific region in the dam ice wasteland" He thought cynically deciding to not verbally say it he only shrugged at her. She shook her head and soon her expression changed from stern to excited.
"Nothing" She said in smug grin.
"What?" Was the universal response from the soldiers present.
"Nothing, as in no radiation in our blood at all! Now even minor exposure to the air would give some form of radiation. Not to mention that you spent who knows how long in the water, which would have given you at least minor radiation sickness but instead we're both clean." That surprised them and caused them to notice that they never saw or heard any type of ticking, signalling radiation exposure, going off the entire they were outside from their suits. At that thought Jose looked towards the direction of the siblings.
"By your reaction Jo- I mean LC I can tell that you connected the lack of radiation in the air with their presence here. If their blood proved to be negative that would mean that we found a tribe of people who are complete pure-blooded. If this tribe of people can survive here and not be touched by the radiation that mean others place around the world might have people or even civilizations who were untouched by the Great War." She continued to rant about how this discovery could change Enclave getting both Jackal and Deadshot very interested in the speech. While she spoke the LC simply looked at the divider that was blocking him and the siblings.
"If what Elizabeth says is right how the hell did she do that trick with the water that was in my suit" He thought before a beeping disturbed everyone's thoughts. It was coming from the computer that was running the blood tests. "It's the moment of truth". He watched as Elizabeth quickly ran to the computer and typed away to look at the blood sample. He could not see her expression because her back was facing him but if that sudden stiffness said anything. It said that they irradiated, he hoped that what she said was true but-
"There have no radiation in there bodies at all!" She screamed causing the LC's eyes to widen. He wanted to get out of the bed and look at the computers results but he legs were still immobile and could not be moved. However, his need to see the results did not stop him to think upon one thing.
"If she not mutated then HOW THE HELL CAN SHE CONTROL WATER!" That single thought had been invading his mind from the ride towards Raven Rock and the moment he woke up. It's getting annoying in his opinion.
"That's impossible" He said out loud getting the attention of the rest in the room. They all looked at him confused.
"What impossible?" Elizabeth asked. The LC looked at his friend eyes.
"It's impossible because I saw that girl" He pointed to the area where Katara was but not directly looking. " control water with some type of magic." He said before he turned gaze to the divider to only have his eyes grow wide. The others looked and with gasp both soldiers quickly took off the safety of their weapons while Elizabeth took out her Plasma Defender.
There, next to the divider was Katara with an enraged look on her face.
"Magic really!? I've had enough of my brother calling it that!" She yelled as she pulled as much water as she could from the room. Water bottles, a vase filled with water, the bags of liquid used for patients everything. The water bursted open and began to circle her like a waving shield. They all looked wide eyed as they simply stared at the spectacle. None of them could believe what they were seeing not even the DeathKnight even knowing of her power could did not prepare him for this level of skill at it.
" What this is, is not magic! This is an ancestral art that has been passed down by generations by every nation, the Fire nation, the Earth Kingdom, the Air temples they all control an element. I am Katara from the Southern Water Tribe and we control water!" She preached as she moved a hand in a fluid motion shooting the water towards the soldiers.
Gun and laser fire can be heard from the room for corridors.
