I am travelling in Wasteland with my friend, Aki. We are from a faction called "The Wasteland Uncles" We are going to trade some supplies and weapons for The Vault city. The route is tough and dusty. From our Faction cave near NCR to Vault City, with lots of Mutants,Crawlies and Raiders yet to encounter..
16:32
We fought endless numbers of smugglers and mutants in order to survive and to make sure this trade is going to be successful.  We are now near Broken Hills.. Man, I wish we could have used the Train, but every station was attacked simultaneously by Raiders from Khan faction.
16:58
We just left Brokenhills with Aki. God,that place is a mess. Humans,Ghouls and Mutants living in the same barn but still very racist and ignorant to each other. That town doesn't even have any proper army to guard the town. Only militia which is built from racist town folk.
17:21
Dammit, me and Aki got separated. We were inspecting a mountain cave when suddenly I fall down about 7 meters. I think I broke a few limbs, but Aki threw me some Stimpacks and First-Aid so I will be okay.
I told him to go and wait at The Vault city,but I also told him if I don't make it there in 1 day, he should leave the city instantly and head back to our faction cave and tell the bad news.
17:32
Hmm...This cave system seems to be huge! Man,I have encountered about 14 of those pesky Molerats.
But,I can hear the wind getting louder...I must be near a exit.
17:46
I stepped out of the cave. Finally I can breathe some not-so fresh air. I should get my ass quickly moving before Aki leaves the outskirts of The Vault city. It's getting colder and colder, but at least I have these pills that makes my body temperature to raise.
17:51
Holy... Is that...Is that?! YES IT IS! It's a fully functioning buggy (Which looks like it's crafted by Raiders..) Holy damn! I am trying to make it start but it's half-broken..Haha, Stupid driver forgot to lock it. Damn,It has power but I can't make it move until I get tools to fix it. I marked these coordinates to remember this place and now I am making a move to The Vault city.
18:23
 I am at The Vault city now. I greeted Aki and now we are sitting at the nameless bar in this city.
He said that he managed to count all the caps we made by trading. 53562 caps. He said. Heh,not bad.
Now I told him that I found a abandoned car in halfway of the distance between Vault city and Brokenhills.
He asked how did I managed to find one. I said good fortune. He laughed and mentioned ironically the moment when I fell. Sometimes I just don't understand his jokes. He often says them at the most-unfitting times..
18:32
We visited 'Happy Harry's' and bought some energy cells to power up the machine and tools to fix it up. Now we are making a move to the marked location of the abandoned car.
21:19
Here we are. Aki was surprised to see it. He thought that I was making up a joke and I would have used the tool to repair our faction's toilet. Hah. Repairing this car will drain some time luckily it's just worth the sacrifice..
22:7
Well,that was fast! This buggy seems to be easy to repair. Now, it's time to roll to our faction cave. 
22:43
Holy Jesus! It's amazing that this piece of scrap metal can go at the maximum speed of 87/km.
Well here we are at our home away from home. Now we just have unpack the supplies and give few caps to the leader of The Wasteland Uncles.
23:7
We are now speaking to each other using radios now. Why didn't we use them when I fell down at the mountain cave? Because, Aki didn't have one. Anyways, we have the right to be cautious...We are living the dangerous times my friend. Okay,radio up-link is now Online we are speaking now LIVE.
23:16 [LIVE]
Marcho: "Zzzzhhh...Aki go check up with the leader I will be waiting here with the supply crates...Zhhh"
Aki: "zzhh.. Roger.. I am going in.. zzh"
Aki: "zzzhh...What the...?! I got a bad feeling about this.."
Marcho: "zzzhh...What? What is it?...zhh.."
Aki: "zzhhh...a Dead body! hmm...never seen this guy before.. must have tried to smuggle our supplies..zzhhh"
Aki: "zzhhh Wait! here is somebody else...must be one our guys..zhhh"
Marcho: "zzhh..Ok,good check up with him..zzzhh"
Aki: "Hey,do you know wher- What the fuck?! HE IS POINTING WITH A GUN! *klack-klack* *THUM!* AHHH! My f*ckin leg! *klack-klack* *THUM!* AHHH MY STOMACH! "ZZHHGHH..."
Marcho: "Zhhhh...Aki?! AKI?!..ZhhhZ.."
[OFFLINE]
23:53
F*ck! Aki is at the cave! Some maniac is shooting him!
Sh*t! I have to go in and save him!
*At the cave*
Aki: God...help me *cough* *cough*...
Marcho: Aki! Here take this med-x syringe! I will drag you to our car after I have avenged the guy who did this!
Aki: aahh Feels better now.. I..I go outside and guard our car *cough* I will be no use if I just lay here on the floor *cough* *cough*.
Marcho: What ever you say..What ever you say,my friend.
??? : And who the f*ck you are? Easy meat like that other guy,huh?!
Marcho: Damn it! I am so going to enjoy killing you! In the name of The Wasteland Uncles I wil-
??? : Wasteland Uncles? What? You are one of us?! Why didn't you say so? Well,put your gun down and calm the f*ck down! Let's talk like people do.
Marcho: CALM DOWN?! You fucker almost killed my friend! HE IS ONE OF US! Why didn't you ask him,before going guns blazing?! Who the f*ck are you anyways?!
??? : Name's Martida by the way, thanks for asking politely, a*shole...Hell, I tried to ask him,but no he tried to flee! So,I shot him in the right leg. Then I shot him again. Problem?
Marcho: What the fuck would you do in such a situation? Stand like a bloody a*shole?!
Martida: No,I would shoot the f*ck out of him/her.
Marcho: Wow,you're such a killer ain't yea,bitch?
Matilda: What ever. However I am The Lieutenant in these ranks, so if you start to bitch more...- 
Wait...
Matilda's radio: "Zzzzhh... I found a buggy about 1.5 km away from our cave. Ohhh...Must be a raider made! Oh and I found a dead man next to the vehicle....ZZZhhh"
Matilda: Excellent! Bring the car to the cave, I was need of a new car anyways.
Matilda's radio: "Zzhhh...Roger that,sir!...I mean mam' sorry sir... Dammit.."
Matilda: *Sigh* You hardly find any good labor force these days..
Marcho: Hah, you are not the leader of the uncles!
Matilda: Aren't ye' a little bitch. You stay here or I got right to kill you right in that spot you're standing on.
Marcho: ...
Matilda: Good I will be collecting your supplies and caps outside of the cave.
Marcho: ...
Matilda: Right! Don't say anything. I just may start to you like if you keep you self quiet!
*Matilda leaves the cave*
Marcho... bitch...
???: Psstt! Hey,over here!
Damn,did somebody actually called me or am I hearing the voices of the dead..
Aki got killed and I got nothing to lose. Hell, if I ever got a change to kill that bitc-
???: Aren't you a great listener? My name is Bob. They call me Bob the Builder, because I am really good building and fixing things.
Marcho: Well, nice to meet you Bob. Did you saw everything?
Bob: Not only me but my very skilled mercenary saw it too. I know Matilda is a bitch...and very eager to steal the title of leader from The First Uncle. 'The First Uncle' is the first and from the original crew who started this faction.
Marcho: Hmmm...I actually saw the look of the dictator in her eyes.
Bob: We are here to help you. She...has..to..DIE! Bitch must pay! She killed my trustworthy caravan that I used to be riding with for over 20 years! Then she spared my miserable life and forced me to join the faction...Actually this is my home now and things are lot better now...But now it's PAYBACK TIME!
Marcho: That bitch... Do you have any ideas how to slay Matilda?
Bob: Yes. Look here is the deal. When she comes. You and me will be talking some common shit like "You can't believe this...Month ago I was wandering around the cliffs and found a cave...With almost 6 deathclaws and over 100 eggs." Like that. And after we got her attention, my loyal Mercenary "Bull" will ram and tackle her down! After that you will draw your gun and go "BAW BAW!" YeaAAHaa!
Marcho: Good plan enough for a hilly billy, hehe. Let's do it. 
Bob: Heh most excellent, mister! I wonder why they didn't call me Redneck  back in the day when I was recruited...
"Bull": She is coming!
Bob: Shit...okay, Bull just stand next to the wall like bad ass you are and then.."SMACK!"
Marcho: shh..Okay.. Hrmh *cough* ... about 2 months ago I found the creepiest thing in my life. I found a dark cave and decided to camp there until the storm ends. Well, It wasn't deep but then I saw a fresh corpse... "I was like what the hell is going on here?" Then suddenly a cannibal startles me. He says " That...corpse...was..my...sister...she will live forever in my body...." After that I ran like hell and...
Matilda: Hmmm...Still doesn't beat my legendary story of...
Bob: NOW!
Matilda: What th-
"Bull": HUAARRRH! *SMACK!"
Bob: Marcho, DRAW!
Marcho: *Shwin* *Thlick* Bitch...you never should have done that. *Wh-bang!*
Matilda: AAAAAAeeeHHH...!
That was the fastest sequence in my life...after Bob's mercenary tackled that whore down..I drew my good'ol .44 S&W Special from very historical year..1907. Theoretically this gun would be piece of scrap. But, partically this weapon kicks so much ass that this weapon will function for next 1000 years.
Bob: Most excellent, cowboy!  Where did you get that gun anyways?
Marcho: From my father. And don't even ask about him.
Bob: Oh...I understand. Thank you anyways, She is dead,which prevents her doing any revolutions in this faction. But,you should run..and quickly! Your reputation grows fast. We will be saying we tried to stop you. Why? We are not going to stab your back,but we just want to live like any "family" member in this faction. Understand that we have no change if we will be exiled or worse...Executed because of stopping future revolutions. The other members and especially the leader just won't understand things like these...
Marcho: I understand. Time to hit the road!
"Bully" God's speed, my friend.
"God's speed" hmmm...I lost my trust in god after I was 6 years old. That guy 'Bob' just reminded the day of when my father was killed by the Raiders and my mother was taken as a slave...Raiders didn't want me because they said that I was too angry and would avenge this day when I would be older. After the raiders left our home with my father killed and mother was enslaved...I ran to my house and took fathers .44 S&M Special and tried to catch the raiders...but they have already vanished to the dust and sand.
I tried to find help and got lost in this god-forsaken burning desert...I was too tired to even cry...Days past and hunger starts to eat man and I am really dry..No water for 2 days... I knew my end would happen today after I saw starving wolf stalking me... "Come and get me.." I said and the wolf began to run towards me...like a rabid dog. I closed my eyes...and then I heard a loud gunshot. Wolf was dead.
I saw a dark character coming towards me..Then I passed out.
At the morning I woke up at the hospital of Vault City. And I asked the Doc where was that man who saved my life. The doctor said that he saw no man passing through here and Doc claimed that he found me next to the office.
I was taken to the school in Vault City. I learned to write and read,and to do many other things I was marked as a B class citizen,which means averagely intelligent and highly athletic male.
After that I was hired to ride a caravan between NCR and Vault City. After that I met Aki in the same caravan. Years past and suddenly we developed a great partnership. One day our caravan was ambushed by raiders. Everyone was slaughtered even the brahmin. But only me and Aki managed to survive.
We walked to the NCR and said: "There was nothing we could have done." and after that we started to work as freelance gunslingers until we were hired by the The Wasteland Uncles. We met at Junktown and they invited  us to join their faction. We were good at guns they said. Heh, no doubt I was 12 when I made my first homebrew crossbow.
And now here we are...In this god-forsaken moment. Aki is dead I got bounty on my head. Damn.
Better to keep moving now...
*Whruuu-Wruuu-wrummm-wrum-wrum-wrumumumum!"
Wait...What is that noise?? Raider buggy?! Dammit! They came after me!!
???: khhhzz... (Buggy's Megaphone) Marcho! I could not believe my ears when I heard on radio that you killed one our trustworthy member: Matilda. You've been very loyal to me...Until this day...Prepare to die!
...kkhhhhzz
It's End of the line...I fear no death..
Aki: Hahaha! *jumps out of the car* Gotcha' you son of... Haha! You are alive! Your friend 'Bob' Informed me when he actually tried to contract the guard, haha! He explained everything!
Marcho: Aki? Aahh you son of... Great to you see you are back amongst the living again. But how, I ask?
Aki: Haha I found a old microphone and a manual under the seat,hehe the microphone changed my normal voice to low. And did you know that this 'Raider buggy' was originally  a U.S. Border patrol vehicle in the year 2000?
Marcho: Cool, but I meant how DID you survive?
Aki: I tell you later at the nameless bar of The Vault city. But, now we get out of this place!
Marcho: Oh hell yeah!

We are heading to The north where we should talk things open. This has been hell'va ride!
We got our car back and killed the bitch who tried to kill my friend. It's very ironic that we are hated because of we killed the bitch who tried to make herself as the leader.
Marcho: ...And Aki... what the- *sniff sniff* What the f*ck is that smell?!
Aki: Oh sorry I forgot to tell you...It's the corpse.
Marcho: OH HELL! Why the f*ck would you want to keep it inside?!
Aki: I forgot...I forgot again!
Marcho: Haha, great team we make.
Aki: Yeah. Stop the car Marcho, and let's throw the corpse out.
*Leaves the Car and drags the body from the car's trunk*
Marcho: Okay...On three...1...2...3
Aki and Marcho: HIII-OP!
Aki: What a wonderful smell we discovered!
Marcho: Yeah, let's get the hell out of here before the smell attracts a horde of deathclaws

So we made this story to the end. Aki told me at the nameless bar of Vault city how did he managed to fool the guard by playing dead. After the guard finished broadcasting with the radio. Aki sneaked to the car's trunk and grabbed .12 gauge custom shotgun and blew the living out of the guard's head.
After that we started to live like true citiz-...bahahaha. What I was thinking? Gunslingers of course.
