"Hey Cy-ril," Ethel mentions, relieved that the action by the others is over, "What were you doing in Venus Vegas anyway? In the pub of all places? Seems pretty silly on your part to go to such a rich area to get away."

"Crap, that's bad--" Ethel exclaims, her eyes widening. "You guys need help? What do they want?"

"What? No!" Cyril replies to Crystal - "Bounty hunters were after me, not a syndicate. I don't know those guys."

"Darnit... They're after our metal-man, right? We gotta go back!"

"That's pretty weird.." Ethel scratches at her head. "Alright, I'll go help you out-- I mean, you, Crystal, out... everybody. On my way and stuff."

She nods at Jacob, "So, uh, you coming with me or no?"

Ethel, after laughing at the captain's candor, will look for an alternate route to the parking garage/wherever it seems the man is going, to cover for Crystal in case.

The girl shrugs, pocketing the tracker-bug, but mostly tries to keep an eye out for the man without being too obvious. She tries to surmise where he's going (outside of the casino?) and whether that limp is legit or not.

Ethel cranes her neck over to see what everyone is talking about. "Well, uh, this is beyond me."

She laughs, giving the forced and overly affectionate smile adults might give, "Hey there, kiddo! Uh, you have a parent around or something?"

"Is this even legal you guys?"

"Eh, don't need to." Ethel Clarke laughs, "Feng-Shui types are fairly noticeable. Not exactly the bashful types, y'know?"

Ethel takes a look around for especially gaudy types around the bar "Kinda makes me sad though. Didn't get to know Nat so well... Leaves just you and me, Crystal!.. Assuming the new guy's a guy. Not totally sure, actually. Kinda odd we got a Feng Shui master from the advert... you'd think it'd have better things to do..."

She begins to ramble unintelligibly for a small while before sobering up for a loud declarative. "Man, it's so cool we ended up going to Vegas! I gave up on that, which made it even better. What's the move from ehre on out, Cap'n?"

Ethel almost immediately gets up to greet the captain. "Mission accomplished, sir!" She salutes the captain akwardly before breaking down, her eyes concentrated on the floor.

"But, we... Uh, well, it didn't work out. We ain't going to Vegas, captain. I'm really sorry..."

She coughs again. "Yeah. But why?"

That should be my washing-thing... I saw it first! I saved it!

"A lift and an autograph!" Ethel exclaims, with mixed feelings. She then coughs into the comms, "Still*cough*explodable, lots of C4.*cough*Needs detonator. Why?"

She looks for anything on her that can be autographed by the great Cold Rock Johnson.

That definitely ain't dairy equipment.

Ethel smiles at the camera with two thumbs up, meanwhile pondering whether saving the strip club was a good idea. "It was, uh, nerve-racking Cold Rock. But what do you want with the washing machine? Don't you want Genny?"

The young chemist breaths out, surprised at how close she was to dying yet again. She examines the area, tryig to fijrs out what Genny was blowing up. If it's small enough maybe she could pocket it...

Ethel bites her lip, engaged in disarming the bomb. Dammit, this bomb is beyond me-- why the heck was Genny making a bomb? The chances of me getting this right gotta be really low... But existent, right?

(2 luck points to raise Ethel's 7-roll by 8 to 15, critting it to disable the bomb)

Ahh, that makes more sense. Was wondering what I coulda missed. Game in general was fairly buggy-- kept being stuck between a wall or table and my unmoving team-members, so that was a bit irritating. Lots of saving going around after that happened like, 5 times haha.

Odd, I got the Plasmarifle upgrade but the Gatling (due to burst) ended up doing a lot more damage, especially at close range. Ended up alternating between the two whenever I had extra AC though (5 for Gatling and 3 for the rifle). Fast-draw actually came in use then, surprisingly.

Ethel takes a second to examine the device. Is it a bomb?

Assuming it isn't, she'll run out the back and try to catch Genny that way, but if it is some sort of bomb she'd have to rush in and try to disable it.

And that's Fallout 1! Bits of spoilers.

Gotta say, that really exceeded my expectations. Lots of things to say about it but overall I liked it a lot. Missed a couple things too, like getting the fuse for Necropolis and saving the hub from disaster, and I kinda joined up as a raider so I dunno if that counts, but that was a loose end. Also all my team died because seriously, they slowed everything down so at a certain point I couldn't care.

The turnig point in the game was prolly when it got a whole lot easier with the Laser Gatling and the upgraded power armor-- but it was still a ton of fun. Just nee to knock off 2, Vegas, and 3, maybe Tactics if I'm up for it, and 4 whenever I just want to shoot stuff on an xbox instead of my laptop (need to get a mouse, lol.)

"Oh, nobody goes down there," Tubbs answers, "He has the whole basement to himself."

"Wait, so what does he do down there?" Ethel raises an eyebrow.

Whilst waiting, Ethel tries to see if she can patch herself up any-more. "So, uh, 'Tubbs', who's gonna be in the back with Genny?"

"Y-yea." Ethel states, shuddering at the thought of being incapacitated again. Taking the armor and smiling at her craftsmanship, she gets in the car.

"Let's get going then." She grins, "Gonna need that money or Montoya's gonna freak."

Ethel frowns, crossing her arms. "If Genny is anything like his brother he'll blow the place to kingdom-come before we get him. It's safer and smarter this way."

"Uh..."

Ethel brings a finger to her cheek as she considers the situation. She's witnessed autopsies and dissections before, and they served a purpose, similar to this. But what if they don't surrender..?

"You know, scaring a bunch of low-lifes is something I've always supported, but can we just... Avoid this? Sneak in, grab Genny and leave? It's much more efficient. Cleaner too."

Shifting back to consciousness, Ethel gasps as she sits up. Flexing her fingers and turning her neck every which way, she smiles at the notion of staying alive. She struggles to say anything at first, studying Crystal very carefully, silent. She rolls off the bed and begins to casually stretch, eyes still fixated on Crystal.

"That was... Amazing. I feel really great!" She grins, "That was a close one... man, I gotta be more careful. Would hate to have to depend on you like that again... But it's great you're in such control on those, uh, abilities of yours. Thank you so much, Crystal." The girl contemplates hugging her savior, but decides against it with a nervous laugh.

"So uh, what now? Catch Genny from under the strip-club, right? I don't wanna get into another firefight, hehe..."

Ethel lets out a light yelp as he action begins, adrenaline pumping as she participates in an experience mostly foreign to her. She will almost immediately set off whichever explosives she personally set (if Crystal hadn't done so already) and surge to tranquilize Tesla before he can release his grenades, shooting at him with her special-edition Ninja-handcrossbow, hoping that he'll fall over and they won't accidentally kill him.

She will then hunker down in a defense action, trying to figure out if it's necessary to take out her pistols.

The deathclaws are worse? Goddammit, I was gonna do the Regulator thing next haha. Guess I need to save up on 'em. Also need to get rope. Lots of it, I bet.

Yeah, found em in Necropolis, sneaked out the back to talk to the leader, and suddenly he wants to convert me. Was gonna like, say yeah, but couldn't, and then he blew me up. Bastard
I've been all over the map so far. Missing one place from it though.

I'm betting he Cathedral has the chip since I can't pick the door-lock upstairs. Great game so far haha. Best part so far was ripping off both Gizmo and that other dude and killing them both. Rogue for the win bahaha.

"Dunno why you want money from us at all," Ethel states, turning her head. "We're helping you as much as you are, us. A big blow on the Reds is totally radical for you guys, and you have us helping you in that. Mutualism in our symbiosis, right? We both win."

Ethel stares the man uo and down, confused by his attire, name, and goofy entourage. Staring him in the eye while holding back laughter, she responds, "We can take care of ourselves, thank you."

It appears like she wants to add to that, but failing to come up with some sort of witty burn, Ethel merely continues, a bit confused. "Wait, so you're like, Black-Jacks? And they're the Redjacks... When'd you two set that up?"

Ethel gets out of the ship with a yawn. "You go do that Jacob, but don't get too happy with the trigger. We don't wanna kill anybody. I think."

Hands in pockets she sets up her own in remote-controlled explosives hidden inside the various clusters of debris in the area, presumably where Tesla and his crew would be appearing from. "If it gets gnarly out there," she calls, "stay away from these. If there's like, 20 reds out there this could help clear the field. Or not. It'll be fun though. Can always pick 'em up later if this somehow works out."

"Okay! See ya guys later!" Waving goodbye to the dopey teens, Ethel Clarke marches her way back to the ship.

On the way and out of the Reds earshot, she says to he comlink, "So what are we gonna do? Trap 'em? Tesla ain't gonna give over his brother without a good reason y'know."

Very neat. Had a self-defense course with a guy sorta like that. Was a lotta fun for a small while but it kinda died out due to lack of participation (only had 3 guys doing it). Hopefully starting boxing tomorrow though and we'll see how that goes. More official and less rinky-dinky than any other similar-course I've taken so far so my expectations are up.

That's a mighty cleft you got there Drak haha. Same thoughts as Playa (even if I've never watched Friends).

Ethel shrugs, obviously intrigued a the prospect of hijacking a car, but not so much that she cares how the group continues on.
