Erin leaned down to check on Joker, and pushed aside the urge to take a swipe at Mark. It wasn't his place, and it wasn't his business. "Can you hear me, Joker? Are you still in there?"
He'd effectively positioned himself directly between Mark and Joker now, ignoring everything else until he knew his brother was okay.

A sigh escaped him as he witnessed Mark's behaviour, he had forgotten that Mark does't exactly welcome someone with that big "E" in their files, and it just so happens that the nearly-dead initiate is one of them, he burried his face into his right hand as he looked at the Junior Paladin before calmly approaching him, Since Alex was already there he felt no need to say anything but rather take the time to help the injured initiate, hoisting him up and laying him on one of the desks that still retained all four legs, "You okay buddy?" he addressed the initiate in a calm manner, he was rather concerned since Mark's strength was nothing to be trifled with.

Alex glared at Mark through the yellow tinted visor on her helmet, as her right hand quickly raised and attempted to back hand the junior paladin across the face.
"We don't have time for this s**t now!" Alex exclaimed, as her left cybernetic hand pointed towards the large blast door behind them.
"There is a horde of ghouls outside, we are already low on able bodied men. Whatever s**t he's up to will have to wait, i will personally turn him over to the Inquisitors upon arrival. But right now we don't have time for this s**t, for all i care he could be the mother ******** president of the Enclave. BUT RIGHT NOW WE NEED HIM! Am i making my self clear?" Alex said with a threatening tone in her voice, as her head leaned in closer towards Mark in an attempt to stare him down. A show of dominance if you will, the hectic situation was affecting everyone, including her, but as things stood, Alex could not allow her men to run rampant, especially not now.
Without waiting for an answer, Alex stormed up to Bren( ninja ), her cybernetic hand stretching out in front of her as she stormed up to him, grabbing a hold of the muzzle of his rifle, shoving it downwards forcing him to point it towards the ground as her right hand gripped him by his right shoulder.
"AND YOU! DON'T YOU EVER POINT A LOADED WEAPON AT AN OFFICER! OR I WILL ******** HAVE YOUR HEAD AS A FOOT REST! Now get your sorry a** upstairs and find us away out of here. NOW!" Alex screamed at the Initiate before she finally released both his weapon and his shoulder, before giving him a strong shove to get him moving.
((AKA either find a legitimate role playing reason to open the vault door or we will be forced to fight our way through the horde outside. In plain English dont go "Oo looky another button" *presses, vault door magically opens*))
((Im a lazy mother ********, so please, do me a favor, post all the s**t you looted so i can put it in your inventory rather then read through it all gonk AKA lootin time over, next up, dying time.))

[[Bren isn't Dante gonk ]]
Surprised by the charge towards him, Bren jumped back, trying to stay out of the way. As Alex began to yell at him, he just started to get angrier. "Yeah, alright. I'm not gonna shoot the crazy ******** who tries to kill my squad mate. ******** off.", he said as he turned to go upstairs. Skipping steps to make it up faster, he made it to the terminal a short time later and began to check it out. These people are ******** crazy, god damn. Makes me wonder why I joined sometimes...
He'd seen commands to open another Vault door somewhere in the mess, but he hadn't had time to toy around with the additional commands. After scanning the registries and additional data, Bren found that the door, in fact, opened a Vault door downstairs. "Hey, I think I found a way out...", he said into the radio as he looked at the commands. Taking a dosage of Rad-X and putting his helmet on, he finished, "You guys might wanna get ready, if you're not already. It opens a Vault door down in the Armory."
[[I gave Leona my Ithca and 30 shells. I found a .32 and 4 clips for it, a roll of duct tape and an AA12 (loaded) with 45 shells (Buckshot)]]

Leona, having felt the grip of the junior paladin loosened, merely helped to reposition Joker elsewhere. She stayed nearby, having turned to face the others behind her, hand on her Shotgun. They might be brotherhood soldiers and officers, but it seemed to her that these two were just maniacs who wanted her and the other lower ranking members dead with no regard for sentient life either way. Maybe Alex wasn't too bad, but she wasn't much better as it seemed she didn't really care from what she could gather of their earlier conversation.
Leona's eyes moved to Zaid as he spoke to Joker, staying fixed on him from behind the visor of the Environmental Armored helmet. She wasn't really sure about that guy. He seemed calm, but he was still quite well equipped enough to point him out as an Officer. "I don't think he was damaged enough to hinder him further than he was already." She looked over his body. She was a mechanic, not a medic, so she wasn't really sure of what she was saying. "He'll need help walking if he can't find a makeshift crutch. I'll help him out with that."

Semi conscious and fading fast. That was probably the best way to sum up Joker's condition. As Zaid and Leona hoisted him onto a desk, Joker's eyes kept darting from place to place, frantic and on the look out for anyone who might ******** him up even further.
"I have always been EX-Enclave.... My Father Escaped, I escaped. Wasn't easy, but I joined the Brotherhood for a reason.... " *Hack, cough*
"If you had taken the time to read my files or even asked around, you'd have known by now that I left those bastards a while ago. Zaid... Leona... thank you. But the Commander is right- we need all the help we can get. I'll be fine so long as that damned Knight doesn't go off his rocker again."
Getting up from the desk with an audible grunt, Joker made his way to the armory once again, where he hoped he would be able to find a few more grenades and some ammo.

((PIP-boy, guns and bullets magazine, cigarettes, one silenced 10mm pistol plus ammo, 2 frag grenades, a large amount of electronics parts and items, some recreational holotapes, a set of vault-tec propaganda, 556 ammo, 3 stimpacks (one now used) 2 more radaway and rad-x, buffout))
"Now get your sorry a** upstairs and find us away out of here. NOW!"
Erin again showed Alex the bundle of explosives he'd made, having added the nuka-grenade as Joker had advised. "Joker was saying that this should make a huge hole in their ranks, enough to give us a good chance of breaking through. If I throw it into the middle of them, we'll have a big hole full of no ghouls and a few seconds extra grace to get through. I know can make that throw."
He could see Joker moving away, and decided that he'd have to tie him to his back to be sure he didn't come loose. As weak as Joker currently was, one determined ghoul could pry him loose. "I also found a spare gun if anyone needs it."

((1 grenade and a full drum of 7.62 for me, 3 more grenades left for anyone else to take along with two clips of .45 ammo and two clips of 9mm ammo all for others to use))
Turning to look at the initiate he replied with a calm and gentle tone "It's alright, he'll be fine for now Joker is really tough." he then looked at the box he brought with him and nodded in it's direction as he continued addressing her "Why don't you go check that box and see if any of the stuff I brought suits you?" Bren's little outburst was understandable but he was deffinitely on the wrong side of that argument, and with Alex holding command it wasn't the wisest of moves, however he did not have enough time to care about him he had to get the rest of the squad assigned to him back in order.
After taking his first dose of Rad-away he tried to think of something regarding the situation before his thoughts were inerrupted by Bren's voice, apparently there was another sealed door hidden in the armory, perhaps that exit wasn't surrounded by the ghouls, or perhaps the damn bastards will come pouring in like the flood, but it sure as hell beats waiting in this god-forsaken patch of land.

Mark took the back hand from Alex, for one knowing that he had just done a big no no but starting a fight with Alex would be like setting fire to the church on a Sunday. The metal gauntlet slapped against Marks face, his head turning due to the amount of disciplinary force behind it. Marks head stayed turned away his teeth clenching somewhat from the pain but more so from his frustration and anger at Joker. Mark's head turned back as Alex finished giving her orders.
"Am i making my self clear?"
Marks face turned back and he faced her. His eye's looking strait into her's the cold stare of pure anger and hatred showing, not towards Alex but to how things had just gotten a lot more complicated. Straiting up and furrowing his brow he responded, "Ma'am. Yes, Ma'am..." he said. No sooner had he said those words did he go back to the armory and finished stocking his ammo and other supplies. Mark knew a long drawn out fight would ensue with the numbers he had seen before retreating inside the structure. Mark refilled his Vindicators ammo supply and crammed as much extra ammo into the carry case as possible. Walking over to the small arms locker he pulled out every .50 caliber magazine for his desert eagle that had been left behind by the initiates.
Mark walked over one room to the makeshift infirmary, the blood from surgical insinuation was spilled on the floor but most was stored in the over flow bags. Mark walked over to a first aid kit that was hanging from the wall. Clearly people scoured this entire building but certainly didn't look in some of the most obvious places. Mark used one of the rad-away that had been sitting in the box along with some Rad-X. The pills sliding down his throat as he quenched his thirst with some old water that had been left sitting on the counter. Mark placed his helmet back on, a hissing followed by a locking noise as the suit became air tight once more.
No sooner had the Jr. Paladin placed his helmet on did he turn off his speaker system and began cursing. His shouting was so loud that if one was within five feet of him the might hear the muffled screaming and shouting. This however was a good thing, at least he wasn't breaking or throwing things, it's just the enclave or Ex-Enclave no matter what they are or who they are, they were all the same.
However with Marks newfound aggression he decided to put it to use and instead of taking it out on joker he would take it out on the ghouls. Thinking of a way to do it Mark remembered that the Deathclaw had farmed a small portion of Fusion Cells from the destroyed cars outside.
Mark walked into the room Alex and Erin where. The Deathclaw was talking about opening and thinning their ranks by chucking one of the fusion batteries as if it where a grenade. "Impossible" he said as he grabbed one of the fusion batteries from the Deathclaws sack of stuff, "I need to borrow this..." he said as he walked over to Alex.
Getting behind her, he suddenly and abruptly opened her back pack and rummaged around till he found what he was looking for, one of her claymores. "I'll tell you why it's impossible," he said grabbing a broken piece of metal and jamming it into the ground on the left side of the sliding door, which was currently closed. "Your size and strength give you the advantage over just about anything in the wastelands, however you forget there are two doors here" he said as he pushed a button and the door slid open revealing the hallway towards the heavy steel doors that the brotherhood had installed which was now looking rather distorted. "One you have... who knows how many Ghouls out there, on top of that most are armed, some may even be armored with leather or some s**t. Second if you did managed to tear your way through their ranks... which my guess would be five feet, maybe ten at the most, you also forget your going to have one hand occupied with that make shift grenade. Third you have to have space to throw it, which i doubt the enemy will give you. Fourth you'll need at least five seconds to arm and then chuck the ******** into their ranks." he said as he wrapped the trip wire from the claymore around the piece of metal shoved into the ground. He began to walk it across the doorway and behind the fusion battery.
"Fifth, not only do you not know the charge of that fusion battery which would determine how big of a explosion it would cause but you would most likely be in the blast radius, a cars fusion battery even at low power has a blast area of at least twenty-five to fifty yards. Sixth no sooner would you have thrown that bomb would ghouls start surrounding you inhibiting your movement speed by at least fifty percent. Seven, ok you by some chance manage to cripple them and make a hole big enough for our group to get the ******** out of this building, congrats you now have alerted the rest of the city to our existence, so the ghouls that aren't here can be here! Kind of what you and Brutus did with the cars. Eight, you'll have to deal with clubbing biting, scratching ghouls crawling all over you not only trying to inhibit you, but kill you as well. Nine, your well... still new you have to check with her before she lets you do something more stupid than i would do" he said pointing at Alex.
Mark had set up a clever booby trap, but awaited until Alex either managed to open the door or would go with the idea of sending the deathclaw out as a sacrifice for the rest of them. Mark knelled there looking at the claymore and then back at the deathclaw, "Ten, my idea is better if Breen manages to open that vault door, cause it funnels them in and so when they trip this trip wire and the claymore goes boom so does the battery killing anything withing the blast radius, except us cause we'll be at least away or thirty or more feet underground." he said awaiting to hear that the vault doors had been opened and a back door exit was available.
-Ammunition: Enough 7.62mm rounds to fire my Vindicator continually for one minute, nine magazines for my desert eagle. Four plasma grenades, Four Stimpacks, Two super Stimpacks, Two rad-away, one rad-x-

"Ridiculous.." Alex said to the deathclaw just as Mark approached, interrupting them with his input. No sooner had he started talking before he simultaneously began rummaging through Alex's equipment.
"What the hell are you doing?" Alex asked, as she tried to look over her shoulder, to inspect what the Junior paladin was up to.
Pilfering the mine out of her backpack, as he began constructing the small make shift bomb.
Alex simply listened to him blabber needlessly while she kept a close eye on the man, while he fiddled with the explosive.
"Like the man said, you wouldn't make it far. Not that i'm not tempted to send you out there and die, but at this point it just seems futile." Alex added, before being interrupted once more, As Bren's voice announced over the radio that he had located another exit.
Taking a minute to review the situation at hand, before she suddenly dropped to one knee as she began taking off her large backpack.
"Beast, gather everyone else at the armory. Mark take these and set them up near the blast door." Alex said, as she knelt down and began removing the mines out of her backpack, handing them one by one a total of four to Mark. Not even sparing a second to look at the Deathclaw to see if he had acknowledged her order.
"We will take the back door, but leave these at the front, and open it as we leave. Give the bastards something for the effort." Alex stated as closed the backpack up, and looked to Mark to see if he understood what she wanted him to do, before she quickly headed towards the armory.
On her way there, Alex flipped open the small hatch on her gauntlet piece, turning on the internal microphone inside her suit, so she could relay her orders directly to Bren.
"Bren, i need you to open the second exit, and turn off the electric lock and set the front doors to open in five minutes. After that double time down to the armory, we won't be waiting for you."

Leona watched Zaid momentarily as he spoke... Then went to the equipment he'd mentioned. She grabbed up the 9mm clips, setting them at her side, then picked up her Uzi, holstering it at her side. After doing this, she decided to pay the Armory a visit. Just as she'd done so, she noticed Mark inside arming himself.... She decided not to make him more angry than he was, she didn't bother talking to him, and merely made her way to the lockers around the room, looking inside each. She picked up some more clips and lined her belt with them, giving her a total of 6 clips of 9mm ammo.
After this was done, Leona took the helmet of her environmental suit off momentarily. Just long enough to take one of the rad-away's she had. She then pulled her helmet over her head again and moved to join the others as new plans were being set in motion. She listened to everything as it was set up, then without waiting for the Deathclaw to respond, she started towards the Armory.

Joker was in the Armory, preparing his weapons for the upcoming evac, but he noticed Mark come inside.
Oh, s**t... he's back to finish the job... in a panic, Joker backed up against the nearest wall, scrabbling to find a gun, an exit, ANYTHING that would save him from the TRULY psychotic Brother of Steel.
When he noticed Leona, his paranoid mind worked into overdrive. If she was here, and Mark was too.... they were both planning to off him..... and the exit was blocked.
"NO! NO! NO! STAY THE ******** AWAY, BOTH OF YOU! I TOLD YOU, I'M EX-ENCLAVE! I LEFT THEM LONG AGO! STAY AWAY!!!"

Erin nonchalantly swatted Mark's hands away as he attempted to go through his stuff, not trusting him to be messing with the things he'd found. "I don't think so, find your own." He wasn't about to give the armoured nutcase a chance to drop a live grenade in there just for a laugh. More stupid than something you'd do? You're not just stupid, you're clearly out of your tiny mind. Erin was watching the door, which despite everything didn't look like it had any intention of opening in the next hundred years of so. He was beginning to wonder if this whole mission was just a ruse to kill off a number of the initiates. They wanted to open the door and let the things inside just for a few meaningless impersonal kills; he could only imagine that the loss of their brothers had warped their minds somehow.
"I was under the impression that preservation of technology was our goal here. Opening that door serves no purpose and would only alert them to the fact that we're leaving by another route. The moment they're in here and they see we're not they'll be heading for our somewhat vital back door, or had you all forgotten that most of these things were here to watch the damn vault being built? If you want to be spiteful about the way things have gone then more power to you, but by chasing a few dozen utterly futile and meaningless kills you're endangering everyone here including yourself and removing any chance whatsoever of reclaiming this outpost and all of the considerable technology invested in it. You're in direct opposition of the Brotherhood's primary tenet."
He looked over to the armoury where Joker was losing his mind and being loud about it. "But as I said last time, it's down to you. I'm just an initiate and I'm here to follow your orders which is exactly what I'm going to do, but I really do hope you reconsider making this mistake. I suppose I should go and see if I can settle Joker down before he decides to shoot at that guy and gets himself killed."
He decided to try a scene from his westerns, and hoped it worked. He'd heard Joker talk about his home and his time with the raiders there with a lot of pride, so that seemed a good starting point. He grabbed Joker from behind and hauled him over, shaking him roughly. "Get a grip, damn it! Look at you, screaming like an infant that you don't want to die, it's pathetic! What would your father say if he saw you like this? What about the others back in Atlanta, you think they'd give you any sympathy? Would you want them to coddle you and tell you it's going to be all right? You're a hardened killer and terror of the wastes now now start acting like it and shut up and get ready to move, I still need you to cover my back." He kept hold of Joker while this kicked in, trying to remind him of what was at stake. "If you keep this up you'll die here for sure, and that would be really humiliating. If this is the end then so be it, but even then you owe it to yourself to die like a man with blood on your teeth, not tears on your cheeks." Letting Joker go once he was sure he wouldn't hurt himself, and prepared for the possible punch he might throw, Erin backed away.
