load up some more and head on over to get some supplies. Also for my sword i want to look around for someone.

ok it takes a couple more days to get the ore up and into the truck but u load up another 5 tons in the truck and 100cts of ruby (which was the whole haul of ruby 50cts in one hunk and the other 50 in smaller pieces) but u guys head out to the other guys shop.

now to get to this other town u have to follow dirt trails most of the way as from this town there is NO and i mean NO real roads at all. when u ask locken about it he tells you that the town was trying to keep to itself and stay isolated but it didnt work real well and thats how the dirt trails came up. at first they would turn u away at the city limits is you drove up but that was years ago and they have calmed down but still wont make real roads for some reason. they wanted you to come by plane or boat here and not by road and actually you had to get clearance to come at first but it was such a hassle and wasnt working that they dropped it and gave up on trying to keep people out. but it did dirve up intrest of people they came just to see what was here cause they heard they wasnt allow here so there had to be something special if they was keeping people out and there really wasnt anything big it was a resort town but noting special. but u tell people they cant come and they will bust their ass to come i guess

but since the roads are so bad (or the trails) it takes u three times as long as it should to get there and 80 miles of it is dirt the other 20 is paved. but you get there and the town is a small industrial town where most of it is factories of some sort and homes to house the factory workers. now u dont see any smoke stacks pooluting the air like you would think a industrial town would have but other than smog it is a working town and the people walking around reflect that. unlike the town u left where most people were dressed nice most here are in work clothes or coverals

now when you go to this other guy he is on the outskirts of town and has a junk yard and recycling plant attached to his place and even with that it is a hell of allot cleaner than the other place was. the guy behind the counter was reading a book when u guys came in and when he seen locken his eyes light up and he got real friendly like real quick, yoou would of thought they were brothers that hadnt seen each other in years. but they talk for a few b4 they get down to business. he offers 8 bucks a pound and dont worry about where it came from like locken was a mine owner or something but when u look at the guys rates on the wall he is giving out 9.35 bucks a pound but offered 8 so u wonder but dont say anything yet. now the rubby he buys up the small stuff but tells locken to hold on to that as it is worth more than he can give him for it. he explaines that as big as it is (the whole thing) it could be used in lasers or something else and that it would be a waste to use it in jewerly or something like that but he will put the word out to his contacts and see what he can get u guys for it but the other stuff he gives u 376 bucks a ct for a total of 18800 more bucks and a grand total of 98800 bucks or thrones (it is actually thrones but i keep calling it bucks)

when locken tells him he needs explosives he tells him no problem at all and they talk about the diff stuff they need and what he has and anything new on the market. needless to say by the time locken is threw your walking away with 33044 out of the 98800 so he spent about 65k on gear and the guy has his guys load up ur truck and it is almost as full as when u got here but instead of loose rocks it is crates and he stops at another store and has them load a few more things that ur not sure what it is.

now driving back dont take as long even though ur loaded up it dont weigh as much and ur able to drive a lil faster. locken says we may want to look into beefing the trucks suspension up a lil to hole more wieght or something. he tells you that with what e picked up today we should be able to haul out allot more loot. he asks if you would mind if he hired a couple guys and work them to death and b4 we pay them knock them off so they cant tell anyone where our stash is??? he is dead serious when he mentions it

wdud

well ill say thats fine but we should at least pay them a bit of money. it'd be a bit cruel. I know with killing it's cruel but we're getting so much money. But if he means kill by knocking off....... wellll......


Also get suspenision and any other upgrades this truck needs. better tires, suspension, engine etc.

ok he tells u he isnt worried about them working he is worried about them telling people where the mine is. he says i just figured we'd work them to death then give them death.

he tells u that he'll take the truck into town and get the truck upgraded. he splits the money u guys made in half and takes the truck into town


is there anything ur doing while he is away

well i want to look around for a guy who can make a power sword or custom weapons. (you know for future stuff)

alright sorry bro been bad lately and i know i know not ur prob but it hasnt left much time for posts so sorry bro will try to get them back up and on par



ok as ur sitting around waiting on him to come back with the truck so u dont have to walk into town, bordom strikes and u look threw some of the boxs locken brought from town and find some neat stuff. he picked up a satilite system for the tv so u guys can get news and the net and he even got a computer hook up for it so now u'll be able to go online from the cave. it'll be like the hotel rooms web set up that u used awhile back. but the first thing that pops in ur mind is that u can look for someone to make ur sword u want. that and it'll be easier to know what is going on in the world.

u start to unpack it like a kid on christmas but see ur gonna need help to get it all hooked up but u do what u can by urself and just leave the stuff u need help with. then when ur all done with that u start looking at what else he got u guys and see he got allot of stuff to make life easier for u guys, make it more like home. hell he even got a portable shower unit that has a built in heater and all with it. as u look at all this stuff u realise he is just trying to make a cave more like home. he even got u two beds to sleep on with blankets and all with it. he got a ton of stuff for u two and by the looks of it he spent more than a ton on it as well. thats when u get to thinking about stuff here he is spending money to make YOU more comfortable down here and u just muscled ur way into this gig and hell u even killed his buddy that he had working this place......and here he is trying to make ur life more like at home than a dark dank cave..........

ok u get some of this unpacked and the tv/web/computer combo all set up and cable ran to the first floor of the tunnel, all u need to do is drill a hole up threw the roof and out to hook up the dish or run wire out along the entrance but u figure the first idea would be better as it would be harder to spot and trace back. u also get the bed and cooking areas set up (ya he even bought portable stoves mini frig to keep food etc etc) u also get the generator set upand running and everything placed off to one side so when u do blasting u wont have to tear down too much u can basically cover it and blast (that way u dont get debris all over ur stuff) u set it all up behind the crate area to sheild most stuff. now the shower u put in the tunnel close to the elevator so the water can drain and not get all over ur gear. needless to say u get about 60% of everthing unpacked and set up by the time he gets back . which by that time u've taken a nap and are sleeping hard when he comes in and u wake up to the smell of great ass meal. actually the smell is what woke u up and u woke up drooling lol

he is putting the last lil touches on the meal when u wake he hasnt noticed ur awake yet

wdud

i'll go ove rto him and thank him for all this stuff. It's freaking awesome. I'll then chow down.

ok u guys eat and after he helps u drill the hole to get the web set up. it takes a cpl hours but u guys gut it all hooked up and running good and he unpacks the rest of the stuff he got u guys. he tells u that he figured u guys were spanding more time here than anywhere else so we might as well have the comforts of home here......he looks at u and asks right????


ok so whats ur game plan for up coming events in ur life what do u have planned

Well lets see
1) Find sword guy and make sword
2) Tell him i can't be here 24/7 i have another job
3) Tell him i trust him with this stuff, don't cut me out I'll be back.
4) contact Loken soon next week or in a few days? probably a few days.
5) Ask loken for a way back to my place.
6) See if i can find a faster way back to this place (underground maybe)

That should be it for now.

Ok he tells ya the fastest way there would be by plane and offers to take ya to the port. he dont like the idea of u leaving but tells u he cant make ya stay. u get the feeling he just dont want to be alone OR he just likes ya that much.....u figure it is the first not the second.

Now looking over the web for a day of so u would find a guy that does metal work for the public (the majority of the metal workers are on the hive world not this one they dont want the pollution) now he isnt a big weapons guy he is more of a general all diff kinds of stuff guy. now he has done weapons just not specialise in them. U did find a guy that JUST does weapons but he is on the hive planet next to ur planet

now the flight from this town to ur town is about 4 hours one way and that would be a straight threw flight....non stop. there is also a train (for the sceanery or beauty of the trip not the speed) but it would take about 18 to 19 hours to get there but is much more pretty looking out the window than in the plane


and did u mean contack locks or locken (their names are too close for comfort)

yeah locks. woops. and uhh i'd take which ever one has less security

both would be about the same but the plane would be faster by far.


so regardless how u go u get back home. now luckly u dont have a paper or anything like that cause they would be piled up on the porch by now as u've been gone for a few. u get inside and no matter where in the house u go it just feels nice to be home. after taking a shower and getting in clean clothes and sitting down on real furniture u about pass out from being so relaxed. u hit up agent locks but only get the message service and u leave one.

wdud

uh see if i can finish that bike
also check on the idgging robo in that passageway.
Just do some maitenance on my equipment.

ok when you go down to check on the digging robot it has finnished whatever you had set for it to do and is in a shut down mode waiting on new instrustions. whatever area you set ir to is all done and ready to be used. as far as programing it it is very easy and dont take long to do either but it had ran out of work to do so it shut down till you give it more work.

as for the bike you was 75% done b4 you left and have all the parts it is just a matter of finishing it up. now it wasnt painted either but (at least i dont think it was it might of had the original paint job but that would be it. now if i'm wrong let me know but i dont think it had a fresh coat but then again i could be wrong) but doing the rest would take about ten hours to do so if you spend the time it will be done (except for the paint) I'll need 3 percentage rolls to see if you did it right so give me three and we'll see how good of a mechanic u really are. lol

now except for the gun u've used for a couple jobs and never cleaned after wards most of ur stuff dont need maintence. well maybe dust them off but thats it. now u take ur rifle and clean it up real good and make sure it didnt have any damage (dm rolls.....boy ur lucky) but u get it all cleaned and sighted in (u have a range down stairs remember) and recleaned oiled up and ready for the next time. u go over all ur gear just for shits and giggles anyway and everything checks out like it was new.

after sitting around for a couple days in comfort u actually start to feel bad for locken for having to sit in that tunnel w/o all the comforts of home (real shower or bed or a couch or anything that isnt in a tunnel) it just feels good to be out from a hole although u kinda miss it in a way and u cant figure out why


so let me have the rolls for the bike and any future plans u got in ur head

13 11 23

I'd like to see if i could contact locken and locks.
if the bike is finished thatd be cool. i could put it on my space ship thing. also set the robot to dig some places along the long tunnel for storage and stuff.
thats all i can think of doing now.
and what was i so lucky for?
