Xeshir frowned at the prices. She already had a Cowpony Repeater and a 9mm SMG, but she hoped she could buy one of those nify shotguns, which where unfortunately WAY outside her price range. She gave the sawed-off one last look before taking the service rifle and 9mm pistol that had been in her saddlebags and dumping them in the counter, hoping she could get a nifty sum of caps off them.

Her eyes caught a shimmer and she saw the healing potions. Figuring it wouldn´t hurt to buy some she put 150 caps on the counter. "Three weak healing potions please." She said in her best charming tone.

Sharp was very surprised at the prices but Sharp said "What could you do?" So he saw the Stable Armor Barding it really caught Sharp attention also the .357 Revolver got him a little focused too but he thought he could have a better buy the armor and a weak Health potion instead.

(Buying Stable Armor Barding x1 and Weak Health Potion x1)

Looks around at all the different items, but pays special attention to the melee section before deciding to buy a weak healing potion.

Scraps waited for the members of his group to return from shopping before pointing off towards the factory and pressing a button on his pipbuck.

"Alright, I've marked the factory's location on the maps of those of you with pipbucks, if there's no more questions then feel free to set off at any time."

Mixtape was never really the fighting type, but he wouldn't take any chances. He picked out the Hatchet (mainly because it would be easy to hold) and a Weak Health Potion.

Transaction

300 ---- Current Balance
-105 ---- Hatchet
- 50 ----- Weak Healing Potion
145 ---- New Balance

Sharp nodded and checked his Pipbuck's map. The factory wasn't too far or to close to Stableton it was something in between of a 10 minute walk there. Sharp was all set and ready he checked his pistol's barrel and ammo to make sure is ok and lastly he checked his saddle bag for his inventory. And Sharp said with pure excitement.

"I'm ready

So Sharp leads the way (Because it's seems he's the only one with a Pipbuck in the group) and hopes he didn't left no pony (griffin or Diamond Dog) behind.

Xeshir slid the weak healing potions into her saddlebags and walked back to Scraps place. She nodded at him and turned to Sharp, noticing the pipbuck on his leg. She gave her guns one last checkup before saying "Lead the way."

Mixtape Sharpens the end of his new hatchet and loads his pistol. Suddenly his pip-buck started blinking. "Thank Celestia, not too far from here."

Mix stands up and heads over to Sharp Edge. "So you exited too?"

Sharp happily replies to Mix

"Yup, Is my first scavenging trip in a group and with actual teamwork!"

Sharp turns to everypony that follows.

"Alright, If you happen to have weapons problems as in stuck triggers and stuff let me know I think I can help repair your weapons!"

Sharp quickly turns back to Mix

"But still your one of the most positive pony I've met so far!"

Mar takes his gun out and makes sure it is cocked and the safety is off, looks to the others "I prefer to keep a weapon at the ready." Checks to make sure his knife is within quick reach, and looks towards Diesel "Lets go, buddy."

"With all the death, sorrow, and anger in the wastes, somepony has to spread some happiness." Mix looks up to the gloomy clouds above, his joyful smile tuning down a bit "And I tend to keep it that way." Mix gently pats the old kitchen knife strapped to the side of his saddlebags, stained with long dry blood and a past forgotten. Mixtape begins to frown, then shakes his head trying to snap out of it.

Sharp checks his Pipbuck a little to check how far it is and turns back to Mix

"Well I'm glad meeting a very positive Earth pony!"

Sharp is glad to meet a fellow Earth pony though he feels that he's the only Earth pony around the wastes

Diesel sighed as he stood up and joined the group to head out of town. Adjusting his armor to make sure it fight proper he walked up to the group and smile at Mar, "Lets do this." Checking his machete to see if it was sharp enough he slid it back into it's sheath.

After several minutes of trotting towards the marker that had appeared on their pipbuck, the building started to come into view. As wasteland buildings go, it was in fairly good shape, no missing walls, no giant gaping holes on the building's grey stone facade. But that was only the building at a distance, and more perceptive members of the group could start ti make out the disntinctive wasteland scars.

A couple minutes later and the group were about at the entrance; up close the old factory's illusion was shattered and it's ugly turth revealed. The facade was marred by crumbling stone, shattered windows falling out of their frames, and its most distinctive feature, a plasma scarred steel door, locked up tight. Slightly off to the side of the door, surrounded by bullet holes and scorch marks was a small dented terminal, lit by the sickly green glow that showed, despite it all, it was still alive.

Sharp saw the factory disappointed but at the same time a little doubtful. How this can be the factory that Scrap mentioned? Well it didn't mattered Sharp just faced reality and entered the terminal password that had it saved in his pipbuck.

Sharp turns to the group
"Alright everypony,zebra,Diamond Dog and griffin...Get your weapons ready we are about to get in"

Xeshir mentally scanned the building as they got closer and close, more details revealing. She really didn´t like plasma burns and bullet marks that covered it and the terminal, if she had to guess it looked like somepony had triggered a plasma mine to try to take down the door. She shook those silly hypothesis out of her mind and focused on the present.

As Sharp was about to open the door Xeshir lifted a hoof, signaling him to stop. "Hold it." She said, then turned to the griffon. "Would you be a dear and check the building inside through the broken windows? See if there are any hostiles or traps?" She asked, her tone careful to not make it sound like an order, seeing how this griffon had been hostile when she first met him.

Mixtape cocked his pistol and readied his hatchet.

"Locked and loaded Sharp. Ready when you are."

Thought the building was a great place for a slaver trap walking up towards it. Nice out of the way, battle scars on the building, and if her played his cards right an unlocked door. He looked at Xeshir when she asked him to fly up and look around "Sure" he replied eagerly flexing his wings and took off to check the windows. Really he wanted to check on the perimeter and check for any stray bodies or weapons outside. He made sure his pistol was out and in his hand the entire trip.

Sharp noticed Xeshir's signal and stopped for a second and gave one more look at the building.

"Hmmm, Xeshir's right this place might be trapped, We could wait for Mar-Vel to finish checking the area before we go in there.

Even though Sharp wants to get in there so bad he had to always remember one of the wasteland rules "Safety First". Sharp just waited for Mar-Vel to scan the whole area to be safe.

As Diesel walked up to the building with the group he looked around at what was there. It wasn't all together a place he would want to stay in too much. As they came to the door he pulled out his gauntlets and slid them over his paws. Wiggling his fingers around he made sure they were fitting properly, with those on he pulled out his machete and readied it. Looking at Xeshir as she spoke up about checking if anyone was inside Diesel thought he would do a check of his own. Using his tremor sense he tried to feel any vibrations in side the building by placing one of his paws on the wall and his feet on the ground. It was a trick he picked up back when he was living on his own, it was the best way to make sure no one was in the building when he went to get food.

[Trying to spot any enemies in the building via tremor sense, Perception 5]

Mar-val's inspection of the outside of the building would turn up nothing of suspicion, all the windows were clear and the only one of interest was a small one on the upper floor where a collapse in the roof drove a pony's skeleton up against the window.

Diesel's tremor sense on the other hoof was at the very least decently effective. In the room that his tremor sense provide a view into, all that could be located enemy wise, was a lone radroach, skittering across the floor amongst the furnishings.

Returns to the group holding a pony skull in his claws. "This is all I found." He sets the skull in his bag planning on using it later to scare the foals of the slave camp. "Besides that there is nothing I could see of use to us," looking over the horizon acting like he was excepting to see something.

Sharp looks at Viktor and looks him closely and spoke to him with a very low voice.

"Diesel? have you heard anything out of normal?"

Sharp heads to the terminal and readies his hooves to enter the password from his PipBuck's data. And quickly turns to the group.


"Alright!I'm opening the door gets your weapons ready everypony!"

Diesel turns his head towards sharp as he stepped back with his Machete at the ready. "All I felt was a lone Rad Roach, but where there is one there is usually more. Everyone be on guard!" Leaning himself on the wall next to the door he got ready to chop at the nearest thing that came jumping out at them.
