004. Inside
John's view returned slowly. At first, the only thing he could see was the scorched ground, but eventually he was able to look up and see what had happened. The Enclave had clearly carpet bombed the area, that much was obvious; and most of the Super Mutants had retreated to the trenches. The Mercenaries of Talon Company were not so lucky, having nowhere to run to; they ended up being vaporised by the advanced micronukes.
John decided to make the smart choice and get inside the Capital Building before more mercenaries came, and with them, probably more carpet bombings. As he opened the door, it was obvious too him that there had been an extremely vicious fight. Bodies littered the floor, and a fair few limbs were 6 feet away from the rest of the associated body.
Creeping through the hallways was really very creepy. There didn't seem to be any form of life around, and the creaking of the building made it seem as though the corpses were whispering to one another. As John approached the central room of the building, he could hear the sounds of battle. Mostly the yells from Talon company Mercs as they were crushed by a relatively familiar sounding sound. Until then, John had only heard about Behemoths in passing; they were somewhat of a legend to regular Mutants. They were much bigger and stronger, and wielded much more powerful weapons, such as the infamous 'fire hydrant club'.
John rounded the corner to the central room, and was dumbstruck by what he saw before him.
Quite proud of this one, I'll leave it at this for now and continue the description in chapter five.
