Chapter 2: In A State of Confusion
Part ONE
Jorge woke up but that left him confused. The last thing he remembered was detonating a bomb which was supposed to destroy the Long Night of Solace and kill him as well.
"Ugh. If I'm alive, that means something fucked up somewhere." Jorge said to himself as he got up off the ground and tried to find an exit then stopped as he remembered that the ship detonated in space. So how was he still breathing? Jorge found his M6 pistol then started towards a hole in the hull wide enough for him to fit through. His Mark V MJOLNIR armor was slightly damaged but his HUD still worked so that satisfied him.
As he stepped outside the ship after hours of being unconscious he stopped as the sight in front of him made his confused self even more confused.
"What the bloody hell?" Jorge asked himself.

"Look James, I know I normally don't ask stupid questions, but how do we know that it's not the Powder Gangers?" Lt. Lee asked Captain James. "Or remains of the Legion?"
Captain James just shook his head; "The Powder Gangers wouldn't cause trouble to attract NCR attention. And the rest of the Legion is still being hunted. No. that much smoke is something much bigger and we need to find out what's causing it."
James and Lee reached the top of a hill and saw an object they've never seen before.
"Captain, what the hell is that?" Lee asked confused.
"I don't know. Something that went wrong apparently. Head back and get 1st Recon here on the double as well as some veteran rangers. I'm going to get a closer look." The Captain ordered the Lieutenant who hurried back to the NCRHQ. James took a deep breath then started towards the wreckage unaware of who was inside. "Man the Colonel will be pissed if this belongs to the Brotherhood of Steel." James told himself as he cautiously approached the wreckage. He looked close at the burn marks and was assured that it was most definitely not the Powder Gangers or from the Legion, but from something else.
"Sir, 2nd Lt. Jones reporting. 1st Recon is set up near the hill ready." Lt Jones told Captain James who nodded and had him and two troopers follow him.
"Jones, any idea on what this thing is?" James asked Jones who shook his head.
"Unfortunately not sir. I would say that its enclave, but after what happened in the Capital Wasteland, no one has heard anything from them." Jones said to James. The four continued along the wreckage until they heard a creaking sound from a hole in the hull. Everyone raised their weapons and continued on then stopped as they saw an armored person exit the hull.
"What the hell is going on here?" James asked himself.
