Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cleo was between the Front Line Base and the protection of the domed cities, she was on her way to deliver a shipment of bullets and new models of guns that came in a few days ago. She cranked up the stereo which played Dam Mare's theme song, everyone knew it represented the city as a whole, you had to be ruthless and cut throat to survive this long, and if you were neither of these then your head was so far up your a*s that it really didn't matter. She cast a glance at her companion, anyone who came out with her on these jobs were risk taking fools. It is rare to arrive at any given place with a full crew, there were always casualties.

So far the trip was quiet, and being quiet wasn't always good. Though it was still daylight, that might be the reason, scientists had found that the Nightmare's couldn't stand to be out during daytime hours. Something about the vaccine that went terribly wrong, 'Well duh.' she thought to herself as she thought of the awful inhumane creatures they were. They hit a bump in the barren land and she glanced at her companion who in turn looked at her. She looked in the rear view mirror and watched as a Brute came up from a pocket in the ground and shoulder the Hum-V off onto it's side. "s**t, get to the guns." she stepped on the gas as she looked up into the sky, 'Well the scientists can just go eat their own words.' she thought to herself with a frown.

Pulling the e-brake she felt the car shudder, and the tires bounce off of the dry ground, "Now! Do it now!" she had given her companion a clear shot of the brute who had began to attempt to get into the tipped car. Stepping on the gas she raced forward. Sane people would have left the others for dead, not she, she was the definition of crazy, at least in these parts.

The clinging of bullet casings filled the air as her companion stood behind her in the open sun roof with a built in machine gun attached to the car. Each shot rang true into the brute's torso, as each one hit it staggered backwards as if trying to piece together where the shots and the pain came from. Brute's were not the smartest of the Nightmare bunch, but if you ever got close enough to one, well, that's the end of that.

It was finally down on the ground and couldn't get back up, she pulled to a stop on the other side of the car and motioned to her companion to check the others of the car as she got out carrying her shotgun. With the music playing in the background she walked up on top of the weak creature and aimed for the head and pulled the trigger, brain, blood, and bone blew up in many different directions. With a satisfied smile she turned and supervised the uprighting of the Hum-V and her crew continued on their way.
