As things went to hell around them, Jack and Damien seemed to have absolutely no fear whatsoever. Once the battle-started, the group swore they could have heard Jack laughing to himself. Damien used Medicine Stick to run out of cover and shoot an NCR solider in his left kneecap, before unleashing a devastating kick that almost snapped the whole leg off. Damien then shot another solider nearby with the insanely powerful Brush Gun and dropped him to the ground instantly. Meanwhile, a large group of NCR forces came out of the corner. Before they could even be considered as a threat, an enormous bullet came out of nowhere and ripped straight through them before exploding in a fireball. The group of soldiers ran around in agony as the special 50MG round burnt them alive.
Will: Where the heck did that come from!? Barbara: Never mind that. C'mon we've gotta get out of here! Shepherd: You won't escape alive commie scum! My boys and girls 'll- Will: Geez do you ever shut up?! Guys, what do we do with Shepherd?
"I have him lined up, but its up to you. If he fires another shot, he's going to literally become half the man he used to be" Jack said other his headpiece.
Will: Babs? Barbara: as much as I'd like to feed this manipulative ba***** a buckshot sandwich, it's more humane and useful to keep him alive. Will: Alright then. I'll carry him, you guys'll have to provide covering fire though. Can't hold him and my minigun at the same time. Will then picks up Shepherd and the group leave cover. (I'll let you dicede what heppens next) BTW clear out your messages box plz c:
Jack then fired another shot at more NCR troops, all the while Damien helped get Shepard back to the Vault for interogation. By the time that Jack returned, he was covered in blood.
At this point Shepherd had been put into a small room where he was awaiting his interigation Will: So what are we going to do with this guy? Asa: I don't know yet. We'll just keep him in that room for now. Anyway, Is everyone alright? Will: Nuh uh, but thanks for your concern. Asa: Don't mention it.
While Jack was busy in the shower, washing away all of the blood using the Vaults water system, Damien took the opportunity to survey Shepard before the interrogation.
Asa: We're waiting for the Vault to come back with their decision on Shepherd. You were interested in our history weren't you?
Asa: Well our history starts out east near the capitol wasteland, where we originated as humans who were caught in a trap set up by our creator Professor Farnsworth. The prof wanted to help people by making them more resilient to the harsh conditions of the wasteland. Sounds good if you're planning to make a food sanitizer or suit of rad resistant armor but the professor... wasn't good with that kinda stuff, he was more into Bio engineering.
Asa: Not necessarily. Well not for us anyway. The first few subjects he created were flawed obviously, so it didn't end well for them. Poor b******s... they'll be forever remembered. Anyway, back to the story. So the doc cooked up this special batch of FEV which had deathclaw DNA in it, he then exposed it to the people he caught and turned them into half human half deathclaw people. That's where we come from.
"I'm sorry" Damien said to Asa. "That's horrible, I'm surprised on how much you were able to retain human characteristics over the transformation."
Asa: Don't worry, the doc gassed me and most of us here with the finalized formula. I know I should've mentioned that, but I've got other things on my mind right now. The doc may be around someplace if you wanna try and get the more detailed story from him but- Asa was then cut off by someone who'd walked in with the vault's verdict. "Message for ya Ash" Asa: Thanks. (takes the note and reads it) Alright. It's been decided that he should be interrogated but without unnecessary violence.
"Allow me to speak to him. Master Edward has trained me with interrogation, and I used to interrogate Legionaries who were lucky enough to survive for years." Damien asked Asa. "I'm sure you don't want a sociopath in a skull mask to talk to Shepard."
Damien nodded before heading through the door to speak to Shepard. The room looked like any interrogation room, a giant empty space with two chairs and an empty table. Along with this was a two-way mirror that the others could watch the interrogation take place. Damien looked at Shepard, who seemed rather smug in his chair, before taking his own seat
"You could say that." Damien told him, walking into the room slowly before taking his seat. "I understand that you know who i'am? Your an NCR General, so you've surely heard story's about what used to occur within the highest levels of the Rangers." Damien said before looking at Shepard, his voice full of authority and charismatic. "Question 1....why are you attacking the inhabitants of Vault 11?"
