Ahem - forget loading the freaking game - we're not playing now, I'm thinking. Actually, I'm gonna take a look at this contraption the fool back at the Vault called a 'PIPBoy' - whatever the heck that is. Okay, this button <presses button> shows me a map with a lovely picture of the beautiful billboard-like display for this town. Great.
What does this button do? <presses next button> A list? There's a list? Does this mean I have more things to do? <taps screen> Wow! Stuff's crossed off! I've accomplished something:
1. Rid Shady Sands of Rad Scorpion problem
2. Get Radscorpion tails for Razlo
(psst, i'd put strikethroughs on those, but i don't think VBCode does that)
<taps screen 2x's> Vault 13:
1. Locate water chip
nope - that one's not crossed off. Probably won't be for a long time. Man, doesn't ANYONE have this stinking waterchip?
<taps button then switches PIPBoy off and tucks it into a pocket> That thing it worthless.
Okay, my travels to date: I've left the nice cozy vault, travelled across the sands to a small town, located Ian - still not entirely sure what he's good for - found another vault, long-since abandoned, full of rats and vermin when I got there, and got these cool leather things (well, they do offer some protection). Then, I had to snuff out some giant scorpions, and trudge across the damned desert to get here - Junktown. And that guy, that mayor/sherrif/general store guy, he reminds me of someone and I just can't seem to figure out who!
"O'Neill," a deep voice calls from my right.
I look, it's Teal'c. What's he doing here? Especially in my internal musings? Ah hell, who cares.
"Hello, Teal'c. What's up?"
"The man to whom you are referring...."
"Yeah?"
"He resembles you, O'Neill."
"What? Have you lost your Jaffa mind? He does not..." *Hey, wait a minute! He does look like me! Oh for cryin' out loud! OW!*
"O'Neill, did you damage yourself?"
Remind me to not smack myself in the head w/ a .10mm pistol next time......... |
