"As apart of the Intelligence section of the Brotherhood, I am usually not in the base for very long at any point."
Azure replied. He then heard Brutus' invitation.
"Thank you, but I'll stand."

((Brutus you need to move the vats assault RP fast before it dies))
"yeah I forgot, you guys are always on assignment I wanted to join the intelligence section but the minute I saw a mobile suit I knew it's what I want to do, have you ever piloted one of these machines before?"

"No. I haven't even seen them leave the hanger."
Azure said truthfully... even when he was a Knight, the mobile armor division didn't seem to be staffed, even though supposedly there were pilots.

"I have a mission to be apart of. So I shall be leaving also."
Azure implied about the Junktown mission before he vanished back into the shadows he appeared from.

"Oh.... ok then..." Brutus was alone again, just as always. He didnt mind for he got what he wanted; a few moments with his borthers to share thier stories. Brutus gazed into the sky once more, the sun starting to rise in the east. The cool night air was begining to warm slightly and the cool breezes ended suddenly. "Thank you mighty Great One. You have given me my strength all these years in the wastelands when I needed you the most. I ask that you give my Brothers and Sisters the same strength for thier tasks. I will be with you one day I'm sure, but I will fight the rest of my life to make sure other's have that honor." Brutus rose from his seat and stretched his arms behind his head after cracking both sides of his neck. His sight lingered on the sun for a few moments before he turned slowly to return to his duties. His back now faced the warm glow of the sun and his tatoo seemed to get warm instantly. With a smile Brutus entered the bunker, refreshed, refueled and filled with hope.

The shimmering flats of the wasteland have always intrigued him, he could never figure out why, something about the desolate land just drew him in. As it usually happened, Lucimorth had encountered a deserted camp, perhaps a little more than a camp, but no more than a bunch of metal shacks. The sun filled his eyes with light, preventing a clear view of anything and causing severe squinting that only diminished the visibility. Sunglasses would have been handy right about now, but he forgot them, again. He approached the constructions, cautiously as always, never know what can jump at you and scratch your damn eyes out. That’d completely kill visibility. His trusty combat knife was engraved with initials and strange symbols; no one knew what any of it meant and no one ever will. The only thing they need to know is that it is sharp, sharp enough. Similar to the knife, his leather armour was marked as well, it seemed that Lucimorth liked to mark things. The metal shacks were somewhat dark, blocked off windows did not let much light inside, instead cast shadows made the already eerie atmosphere even more so. His steps echoed inside the room with the sound of crackling sand and leaves. How did the leaves get inside? He couldn’t say. Ashes could be discerned around the corners, strangely enough. Shouldn’t the ashes be in the middle? Not much logic was usually present in these places. Then again, there was always logic, just sometimes it was beyond our knowledge. There was nothing special, interesting or even useful in this shack, just a bunch of garbage. Lucimorth threw out a rugged looking piece of cloth the size of a formidable bed sheet. It obviously had seen the backside of more travellers then these things should. However, after a nuclear holocaust some things become scarce, bed sheets for example. Lucimorth’s behind was promptly parked on top of the poorly made sleeping area and a book was opened. It did not matter how many times he read it, the book never ended. It was a diary from one of the deserted places he had visited. There were no names, no dates, nothing to indicate anything about time. After careful analysis he managed to conclude that the diary made too little sense to be a diary, which was not impressive at all. After several more reads, he realised that it was in fact a book of dreams and not really a diary. The last discovery was much more impressive for the average second grade level intelligence person. Only years later Lucimorth had finally discovered that it was indeed a diary as the dreams were chronological and had a pattern within them. Finally he managed to realise something worthwhile. Strangely enough, whoever wrote the diary made more of an impact on him than anyone else in his life. As far as he knew, the diary was written by a serial killer or maybe a fifteen year old child.

*Continued from medical bunker* The hour was still early, for the sun had not risen yet. Brutus stood outside the front gate of the Brotherhood of Steel bunker with no more than he came with except Karl's head. The news of his past made him drown in his past… it was as Xenos had said before the mission: your past isn’t always worth knowing. Brutus hung his head in shame and strode into the wasteland. He exiled himself from the others, for he had turned into… rather had always been what he sought so hard to protect his friends from: a monster. He had little purpose in life, and so he felt it would be best for him to take some time to wallow in his despair. Perhaps he would scale this mountain in the road of his life and become stronger, or perhaps he’d fall of its peak and die. Either was acceptable to him now, so long as the others were happy. He felt that they didn’t need him like he once though, that he was simply a lump of space, another life to be thrown away, an unsung hero. He had lost his position as squad leader, the respect of many of his piers and now he was beating himself up about his past. A perfect time to leave.
He traveled to the Karl's old camp. The place had been destroyed months ago, yet several of the corpses still hung in thier upside down crucifictions. Karl's body was among them. The dryed, half eated and rotten corpse fell apart as Brutus removed it from the cross and buried it with it's head. He said a silent 'im sorry' and moved on.
And so he marched onward into the distant lands in an attempt to find himself and kill the monster he was.
“Just like the man in the play I have stabbed the back of my loved ones. I killed all the people in my vault… and I have harmed my brothers and sisters.”
He looked over his shoulder and saw the bunker fading away from his view, a mere speck from the cliff he now stood on top of. The sun rose behind him and his shadow was cast upon the land below. In a quiet voice he whispered:
“My name is Brutus, and I have been Dehumanized.”

Yulia rushed to the top of the watch tower to find Brutus, but he was already walking away. She was about to call for him... instead, she watched as he disappeared into the distance. All she could hope for was that he would come back soon. Soon, and with whatever answers he was looking for.

Lypse walked silently, her Wraith armor making stealth a difficult thing to avoid, with one foot before the other in perfect balance and to an unheard rhythm. She approached the watch tower where her superior officer was perched, looking out across the wastes. "Junior Paladin Yulia, was that Senior Knight Brutus whom I'd just seen depart from the premises?" She shouted up at the medic. "I was supposed to speak with him to insure that he wasn't experiencing a degraded state of morale following the loss of his position as squad leader." There was a look of mixed concern for her Brother and annoyance at the disruption to her schedule that his disappearance had caused displayed on her face, a look which she did not bother concealing.

Yulia looked down towards the initiate. Laughing as she answered, "Yes, I think it was him... but I wouldn't worry," her gaze went to the wastes again. "I think he'll find a way to upgrade his moral on his own." She decided it was time to go inside, and at this she walked down from the tower and to the medical bunker.

Two monhts had passed, and Brutus had gone through many things. He fought for good in all that he did, and tried to do what he felt was best. He spread the word of the Brotherhood, aided the weak and boosted his own moral. Over the course of his adventures he found an abandoned Brotherhood refuge camp with a flag bearing it's symbol in perfect condition. He took that along with a pauldron to a mutant-sized suit of armor and a warclub that he made by himself back with him toward the bunker he had left weeks ago. He did not expect to be welcomed back with open arms, but he managed to convince Xenos to allow him to retain his rank. He stood upon the cliff he stood on before, now facing the Brotherhood with the flag strapped to his back. It flapped and waved in the breeze of the upper atmosphere as he made his way down the ridge. He was prepared to face sword and arrow from ally and foe alike and didnt know which would attack him with greater ferocity. He now stood in front of the gate that allowed access into the bunker itself. He smiled and said, "I'm finally home."

She was sitting outside when he returned, an issue of Cat's Paw present in her hands. She read it for the articles. Lypse turned the page to find an old article on energy weapons, one which educated her on various aspects of owning and carrying one, not that she'd ever need to know it. The laser rifle was the only one she'd ever have the interest in owning, as it was the only one with the range she needed as a sniper; and it would be a while before she would be allowed such a weapon, assuming she would ever reache that rank. She looked up and scanned the horizon for anything of interest when she spotted a site she had hardly expected to see. Her Brother Brutus stood tall and proud, the flag of the Brotherhood of Steel attached to his back and flapping back and forth in the light winds of the wasteland. In one fluid motion, Lypse leapt from her seat on the watch tower's lower level and dropped the magazine she was reading. "Senior Knight Brutus has returned!" She shouted with all of the volume she could muster from the lungs within her small-framed torso. She grabbed her hunting rifle from off of the wall and swung it over her back, the strap running across her modestly sized chest. She opened the gate to the Brotherhood compound and strode out into the open. "Welcome back, Brother Brutus." She said to the great mutant.
