NCR trucks move slowly through the forest they were almost to the northern trading hub. They had six guards for this convoy of energy weaponry, of course that didn't matter much in these parts. There were bursts of plasma and laser fire from the treeline, the guards were quickly dead and an Enclave officer walked forward followed by two soldiers and said "Get these back to the Vertibird, I don't want a repeat of Vancouver on our hands." he looked at the guards, Van Graff armour, they were beefing up their convoys.
(Many dozens of miles away) Ling was playing with her PIP-Comrade 3000 as she stood in the forest, she was flipping through the menu, completely oblivious to the outside world. She was simply standing in the forest with her stealth engaged.

{Logan} Logan nodded to the Enclave officer,"Yes, sir," He replied, then started getting the stuff back to the Vertibird.
{Roy} Roy wandered through the forest, completely and utterly lost, with no memory of his life, apart from just about a week. He didn't see Ling, obviously, and plowed right into her. He recoiled in shock, staring at the spot he'd just run into the...air...with wide eyes. "What the....?" He gasped.

Ling fell over, and said "Geez what the hell Ch-" she realised she had both decloaked and that it wasn't Chan playing a prank on her. She fumbled pulling out her pistol and asked "Nǐ shì shuí?" she then thought and asked "Who are you?" she sounded kind of scared of him, but forgot to pull the receiver back on her pistol, meaning that she didn't have a round ready to fire.

Roy stared at Ling, his eyes wide and round. He was pretty sure that she hadn't been there a little bit ago...Or maybe it was that she wasn't visible a little bit ago. After a bit he blinked and shook his head. He didn't seem very worried about her pointing her pistol at him, and just blinked at the first thing she said. When she spoke English, he said, "I am Roy Sætre," He replied,"And you are?" He was well aware that she didn't pull the receiver back, which is why he was worried about the gun.

Ling was concerned, he certainly wasn't armed enough to be Enclave, but you could never be sure. She hesitantly said "Ling 23. Pleased to meet you." she then raised her gun "I can't have you telling people about me though." she pressed the button on the side and the clip fell out of her gun, she looked down "Huh, I was expecting a boom." she pulled the trigger and nothing happened, she pulled it over and over "Work you stupid thing." she seemed to have forgot about the man she was trying to kill.

Roy was still trying to figure out where she had come from. When she introduced herself, he nodded, even though he thought her last name was strange,"Pleasure to meet you," He said, saying it in a way where you could tell if he was sarcastic or not. When she raised her gun, he just blinked. He barely held back a laugh when she made the clip fall out of her gun. She was clearly very oblivious about guns. "You don't know much about guns, do you?" He asked, picking up her clip. He then held it so she could see the ammo in it,"You might want this, if you plan on shooting anyone," He said, and though he was giving her tips, he didn't exactly have any intentions of giving her ammo back. "Not that it matters, I'm not going to tell anyone. I have no reason to, and no one to tell."

Ling felt embarrassed under her helmet, did she seriously forget to cock the gun? She then countered "I know a lot about guns." then muttered "In theory only apparently." she made a grab for the clip and said "Can I please have my ammo back? I thought I had a bullet ready in the gun already." she seemed embarrassed that she was making a fool of herself in front of this.... Handsome person. While he said that he wouldn't say anything she shook her head and asked "You have a place to stay for the night, it is getting cold. Well colder."

Roy wondered what this girl was doing out here when she apparently didn't even know how to use a gun. "I can see that," Roy said, nodding slowly. He was clearly being sarcastic, but not really in a massively rude way. He held the clip out of her way,"What, so you can shoot me?" He asked. He had no idea weather she was pretty or not, since she had her helmet on. He shook his head in response to her question, and pulled his jacket tighter around him as if she had just reminded him that it was cold out. "No, I don't."

Ling seemed more embarrassed than anything and said "I have never held a real gun before." she shook her head at him and reached for the clip pressing her body on his to try and reach for it and said "Gimme." in an exacerbated sigh. She then sighed and gave up trying to reach for the clip, she turned up her thermostat a couple degrees, it was getting colder. She then shook her head and asked "You want to find a place to stay the night, somehow I feel I would be safer with you that without you." she smiled slightly at what she had just said.

"Then what are you doing out here alone?" Roy asked, raising an eyebrow. His voice was gentle, and he sounded like he didn't want to insult her. He held the clip above her head, which was easy to do since he was taller then her. He suppressed a slight shiver when she pressed her body on his. He also shivered slightly as a cold breeze blew through the forest, and his breath came out in a puff of white. He looked at her,"I don't even know where to start looking for a place to stay," He said, holding her clip out to her.

"I am completing my rite of passage to be a full member of the Peoples Republic of China Remnant member. I'm looking for something good to bring back to the bunker." Ling said with a sound of pride in his voice. She was kinda annoyed that he wouldn't give her her clip. She turned her suits heater up more as the wind blew cold air through the mesh on her suit. She then looked at her PIP-Comrade and turned slightly and pointed in front of her "That way to Anchorage, they have lots of stuff there. Do you have money with you?" she then began walking toward the city assuming he would follow her.

"And they sent you out without teaching you how to use a gun first?" Roy asked, raising an eyebrow, "What kind of stuff counts as 'something good'?" The reason why he didn't give her the clip at that time was because he wasn't exactly in the mood to get shot if she'd decided that he would tell people about her anyway. He hunched up his shoulders, shivering slightly. Usually by now he would have found an at least slightly warm place to stay and gotten a fire started. He looked in the direction she pointed, then back at her. "I have a little," He said, following her.

"Well I took a class on it but I didn't uh pay attention to it like at all. I copied the test next to me to pass." Ling said with an embarrassed look. She thought and said "Well advanced power armour, like hailfire. Masses of medical supplies. Masses of energy weapons. Chinese relics. Stuff like that." she kept walking, maintaining a very good pace and said "I'm glad you decided to come along, I could use you and your caps. Yuan is kinda worthless out here." she pulled out a big wad of bills, it basically was worthless though. She tugged toward the city and said "I can't wait, I have always wanted to visit this place."

"You really should know how to use a gun out here, it's not safe," He said, frowning. He nodded slowly,"That stuff sounds like it could be hard to find. Masses of medical supplies sounding like probably the easiest," He said. He followed her, trying to keep up with her but apparently not being as used to walking in snow, and kept stumbling. "Well, don't expect to get much out of my caps, I really don't have much," Not to mention the fact that he would probably spend them on stuff for himself. She sounded like she was going to spend all his money on herself. He looked at the Yaun, not knowing how useless it was, but taking her word for it. "I don't know anything about it," He said, panting slightly from all the trying to keep his balance.

"Well I have spentmy life in a warm bunker my whole life, so I had no idea why I should learn guns when I want to be a scientist." Ling said slightly indignity. She nodded and said "That is kinda the point of it, to supply the bunker with new stuff for every citizen." she simply was light enough that she didn't sink into the snow too much and was able to take more steps between stumbles." she sighed and said "We should rent a room, that sounds fair right, split the cost."she nodded and said "All I know is that it is a huge trade hub, people come from all over to trade there." She looked at her PIP-Comrade, and said "Look we have already covered a fair amount of ground, were coming to the road, then not far from there."
