Kat pauses, a sour look coming over her face. God she hated it when people were reasonable and level-headed sometimes--it clashed with her capriciousness, and didn't taste right on her tongue. After a moment, she sighs. "I thank y'for the thought, Cecil, but... you don't want to leave this one alive. I'll concede you the others, aight? They'll live. We'll drag 'em out to the woods all the same, if you don't mind, and let them figure themselves out. But I'm not budging on this one. It'll mean my head, otherwise. While I fully expect to go down fightin' one day, gotta postpone that as long as possible. y'know?"She doesn't meet his eyes, doesn't want him to shake her resolve. He wouldn't understand. "If your girls are gonna be rid of me for savin' our asses, then I guess that's the way it is. One way or another I'll sleep easier knowin' she's not left alive to chase 'em down. Sue me. I'll be back within an hour."I'm not good with these kinds of gory details, but she'll drag the leader out far and then try and make it look like she died to a pokemon-- creating clawmarks, blunt blows, etc. She'll get Rosco to help with it if need be. Staging it as much as possible, so long as the woman's dead. Then she'll promptly be sick in a nearby bush.

The safe gave a satisfying click as Bunnie turned the handle, her keen ears allowing her to detect the slightly deeper clicks of the safe's combination over the lighter false leads. A few tries to get the combination in the right sequence, and she'd defeated the lock. Inside the safe apparently went deeper into the wall than you'd have thought. Inside are a pair of odd looking items; guns of some kind; pistols by the look of them. One is long and thin, with three darts in a clear plastic clip sitting next to it, with a small tank with a gauge reading "air pressure" on the back end. Perhaps it's air powered? The other is stranger still, not just cool to the touch, but actually cold! The barrel is large and seems to have a number of strange attachments, as well as a soft blue glow coming from within the grip of the gun. Underneath them are two more items. A holotape... and a passcard, emblazoned with the Vault-Tec symbol, and the numbers 116. Loot found! Cryolator Pistol: 1-handed short-ranged weapon, EoT Ice-type damage, inflicts Freeze on 17+.
Syringer Pistol: 1-handed long-ranged weapon, no damage. Fires Darts with a +2 to accuracy, darts act as Pester Balls. Syringer Darts: May be made as Pester Balls, for 50 scrap or money apiece. Effect is same as a Pester Ball, but can only be fired from a Syringer, not thrown by hand.
1 Confuse Dart, 2 Sleep Darts

Bunnie takes her newfound prizes, looking them over and smiling. If anyone were disappointed with her before, this should fix that. The cold gun she stuffs into one of the pockets of Kat's jacket for later, and the rest she stuffs into a different pocket, but she keeps the other weapon out and walks over to Christine to offer her the dart gun and ammo.
"Hey, found something you might like in case we run into any more of these asses."

"You honestly think she's a threat? We dropped her and her gang like a bad habit. Hold up, hold up, I'm coming." Cecil grabs the legs of the large man, and holds the brute's feet to either side of his waist, and starts dragging. "I just feel like there's other options here. Could bind her and bring her back to town, let the guards off her and keep your hands clean. Could turn her on those Gene Children bastards, I'm more for that option myself."

Kat hesitates--again--and looks down at the chick's face. Keeping her hands clean wasn't too much of a worry, but being able to pawn off the duty to the guards up Purewater... well, that wasn't too bad of a thought.
"If we can keep her out that long, I s'pose that's fittin' enough," she says slowly. "...but I want her bug. Its head's prolly all poisoned with the thoughts she's been teachin' it, and I ain't letting the town put it down for that."
She lets go of the leader's collar, but doesn't move, fighting with herself silently over what to do.

"Oh? What is it?" Accepting the weapon, and looking it over she asks, "Where did you get this? And was there anything else?" It seemed that the darts were filled with something... although, she couldn't tell what it was. Something to look into. Hopefully it wasn't some deadly virus, toxin... or some strin of Pokérus. Not to mention, even if it wasn't something so deadly, there were only three of them. "I don't suppose this came with a user's manual?" She asks, dryly. Weapons training... was not exactly standard practice for medics.

She pats the cryo gun and smiles.
"There was another weapon, but there was also this stuff."
She pulls the other items of interest out of her pocket.
"That passcard is probably going to be handy."

Amber nods at Christine, taking the vial of medicine with a grimace and a thanks. It does make her feel better, though, which is...surprising. It's kind of amazing how fast these bioweapon effects and their cures take hold.
"Oh, um. Here..." She mutters, pulling out the three pokeballs of injured pokemon from her pocket.
"I thought, if you're doing healing, maybe we should work on the pokemon too? In case the sounds of the fight attract anyone and we need the protection? When you have the time, I mean," She looks down, scuffing the floor with her shoe.
"One is the Totodile, but there's also the two from the cages. They were...bad." She frowns. "But...I thought maybe you might want to keep one? They were pretty friendly even before I balled them, and I don't want to sell them, but they're so innocent that they got hurt and I don't want to release them but I've already got Topaz and I don't know if I can handle more shocks, so um...will you keep the little electric fuzzy thing?"

"We bind and gag her, I'll keep on top of her till we're home. Don't matter none if she stays out or not. Tell the rest of them that we're taking her to face justice back at Purewater. Maybe go through the channels we need to drop word on the Mayor what we're about and get our in at the water plant. Still gotta get moving on that, vault ain't gonna sustain itself forever." Cecil slowed his dragging to a stop. "Wanna help me with this one so we don't leave drag marks from here to where we ditch him? I've got your back Kat, don't gotta look over your shoulder so much."

"Huh," she says to Bunnie. "I wonder why that stuff wasn't taken before... But, regardless, you're right, it should. Good on you for finding it. And I wonder what's on that tape..."
Turning to Amber, who looks less pale now, she replies, "I'll see what I can do for them. It would be a lot easier if these things had some consistent features or something..." At Amber asking her to take on another weapon, she hesitates for a minute, before saying, "I'll think about it. I'll just take a look at them first." Why do I feel like I just said 'yes'?

Amber beams brightly, nodding. "Kat said something about a computer or a safe or something," She says, looking curiously at Bunnie's finds. "I promised I'd take a look. Call for me if you need me?"
She wanders off in the direction Kat pointed out and presumably takes a look around the room with the computer.

Kat scowls a little at that-- people having her back just wasn't a concept she'd needed to really consider before-- and quickly ties off the leader's hands and feet before helping Cecil lug the big guy out to the woods. Followed by the others, I assume. Tying them to trees or some shit? Leaving some kind of reprimanding word cut into their arms? Tsk tsk.

Cecil helps Katora haul the Yellow Jackets into the woods, with them settled some distance from the encampment, he raggedly carves the words 'Last chance, leave while you can.' in large enough letters that they'll be easily noticeable in the side of one of the larger trees facing the bunch. "That's good enough for me. If they don't take the hint now, I ain't sparin' them again." The greaser started into the brush back towards the pair of buildings.
On arriving. "Somethin' I gotta ask Kat. The others are mostly scared of their Pokemon, I ain't really done the whole 'bonding' thing, and you talk about them like they're good people, just misunderstood." Cecil weighed his question carefully for a moment before flicking a ball into hand, and releasing Joe's Bonsly. It immediately burst into tears and a soft wailing. "What am I even supposed to do with this?" The teen asked in a flustered tone, embarrassment starting to creep in a reddening wave across his cheeks.

Inside the clinic, Amber's persistence pays off, the familiar code of a Genetico terminal finally giving way to an access screen. Access granted. Welcome General Hoosier.
With a hiss of ancient pneumatics, the door retracts downwards, revealing that it was actually four individual layers of metal with spacing between them. Inside the room the air is surprisingly fresh, and cooler than the relatively exposed clinic, as well as being drier. The room is bland, aggressively so, with only two features that stand out. One is a staircase that leads to the upper floor.
The other is an armored elevator door emblazoned with the Vault-Tec symbol... and the number 116. Inset into the doorframe is some kind of card reader, similar to the one that your own Vault's Overseer and security council had used when they let you out into the wastes what seems like a lifetime ago.

Bunnie's eyes widen and she looks to Christine at the noise.
"There is no way that was a good thing, right?"
She instinctively begins to head in the direction of the noise but hesitates, trembling. "I'm gonna get Cecil and Kat. I'd rather be prepared for whatever that just was."
Bunnie dashes out of the building, hand on her new Cryo Gun just in case as she begins shouting for Cecil and Kat.

"I'm... sure it's fine," Christine says, not actually that confident. "But that's probably a good idea."
"Amber?" she calls out, a little nervously, "Is everything alright?" She wants to go make sure that the mechanic is alright, but she also doesn't want to walk alone into a potentially dangerous situation, or leave the wounded...

Kat eyes the Bonsly with mild disgust, nose scrunching up as it begins wailing almost immediately upon release. "Oh, for the love of... hey. Hey! You, little thing, listen up." She kneels down beside it, face in a scowl and eyebrows knitted. "You keep goin' on like that and it's gonna be a big problem, hear? I don't like it, Cec here don't like it, and you are gonna stop. Bawlin' like a whiny babe ain't no way to repay a kind fella for takin' you under his wing. Cut it out." After letting the growly lecture settle in for a moment, she reaches forward slowly and settles a hand on its head. "In fact, you might even find yourself rewarded for keepin' nice an' quiet, yeah?"She stands up, looking a bit sheepish. "Ain't much experience with these loud ones, I'll admit. But it's-- it's like a kid, really. Fuck if I know what use they were to all those damn wars."Kat trying to intimidate the Bonsly into shutting up . Then she'll be nice (sorta) to it, but as long as the lesson stays...

Cecil watched with interest as the Bonsly mellowed at Kat's touch. It looked like it didn't matter what it was that she said, so much as how she said it. There was a certain guttural quality to the woman's tone that snapped the little rock pokemon to attention and even dried some of it's tears. Before he could thank her, or followup with the Pokemon, Bunnie's alerting cries came from way of the clinic. It wasn't a panicked yell, just an attention grabbing one. "Today just don't end, swear to god." Cecil muttered, followed by a "Coming Bunnie!"
Waving Katora and Bonsly along, who Cecil had decided to nickname 'Rotor' for the time being. He bound through the remaining stretch to the building, skirting puddles and cars alike. A bit winded between the jaunt and hauling the yellowjackets from the clearing, he stopped in front of Bunnie, Bonsly waddling along behind. "Yeah, what's up?"

Bunnie catches her breath.
"Amber opened some big ass door. It was loud as hell, and there is really no telling what's on the other side. But if I were a betting girl I'd say it has something to do with this."
Bunnie begins to lead the two of them back to the building. As she does she reaches into her pocket and pulls out the Vault 116 card she had found in the safe, handing it to Cecil.
"There were a couple other things but I haven't really had a chance to check them out yet."

Cecil let out a low whistle and turned the card slowly over in his hands. "Alright... Alright... can't complain about this too much. This might be just the ticket we're looking for." Gently rapping the card against the knuckles of his opposite hand. "This place could have all the stuff we need for our little hole in the ground, depending on the locals." Biting his lower lip for a moment, he gave Bunnie an approving smile.
"Second best news I've got all day." Giving her a gentle nudge as he passed, from tragedy to windfall, just like that huh? "Let's have a look see."
