This was also made before i fully relaxed with my sexuality and learned i am gay, but crush with Nady was true at the time this was written.


"So..." Crane said as he looked around the room at all the others, "...we have a tank, fighter, technically two support classes, and me, the guy who just wants to blow things up. Well, that's if to look at classic RPG classes."

"Well then, I guess that means I'm support with our sniper. No way can this lass take a big hit like Ms. Nady over there." Li said with a giggle as she playfully punched Red. "And I'm just fine with that."

"Well, since the others found their spots, I guess that makes me the fighter. But why did you want to figure all of that out Crane?" Armerus said with a laugh. "I was just bored and started thinking. Things get kind of dull if you're just doing the same old jobs every other day." Crane said as he sat down on the ground. "Things can get dull, you know?"

"Hey guys! Look what I found!" Said Claptrap as he rolled through the door. "Someone lost an ECHO! Let's listen to it!

"Um... Clap, I don't think that is a good idea...." Red started to say as the audio stayed to play.

"Hello? Hello? Is anyone there?" Said the voice on the ECHO. Everyone looked at each other, not sure if they should answer it back before Nadezda spoke up. "Hello there. Is this a recording?" She asked with a smile.

"Oh this is great! Someone actually found me! Hello, my name is Alphonse Idiom. I am the AI that's sadly stuck in this little ECHO device! Thank you so much for finding me! Hey, tell you what, in return for finding me, I'll help you guys find a vault! There is another one somewhere around here and I know where it's at!" The group stood quickly, hoping that it was a joke. "But Mr. Idiom, the last vault on Pandora has already been found, there are no more vaults here." Armerus said with a sigh. "We're just chasing a dream."

"That's where you're wrong! There is a vault! You have to go where Sanctuary stood before! It's in the ruins, no one knows about it expect us AI's!"

"There's a vault there?" Claptrap said, standing as shocked as everyone else.

"Yes! There is! It's deep within the cravens down there. You can't get to it just by yourselves! You'll need my help too!" Alphonse said.

"Alright then, I'm listening. How will a talking ECHO unit help us?" Crane said with a laugh. "Are you just going to talk to all the rocks down there and have a passage way open for us?"

"Both yes and no to whoever just said that. There are circuits and wiring still alongside most of the walls there, and even in the mining shafts and old factory ruins. We just need to find the right path! But that is where I'll need your help again. As grateful as I am that you found me, I am not whole. I am more than an ECHO unit you see. A lot of my parts have fallen off of me or destroyed when Sanctuary went up in the air. So we are going to need to find them. Luckily, they are around the same area, as far as I can tell, so it won't be too hard! I'll even help you find them! They have a small tracking beacon that is linked up with the ECHO so it'll be easier to find!"

"Well then, he said there is a vault in the Caustic Caverns. I say let's go. It'll give us something different to do instead of hunt down skags, rakks, and bandits all the time." Crane said as he finally stood up. "I'm in."

"Same here. It sounds like fun!" Nadezda chimed in with a smile.

"Well, that's two out of five. And this las makes three. It'll be fun to do more exploring." Li said with a chuckle. "I haven't been done in the Caverns yet."

"I'm still unsure about this. But if what you say is true, then we found our vault then. I'm in." Armerus said with a sigh as he looked over at Red. "Well, either way you're out voted pup. How does that make you feel?" A small laugh escaped the red wolf as he slung his sniper rifle over his shoulder. "I just need to get some ammo and I'm ready." He said with a smile before Claptrap chimed in. "I'm in too! Unless there are stairs. They are my one true weakness! Well that and heights, falling, big scary monsters.... You know what; I'll sit this one out. You guys go have fun." He said before shamelessly rolling out of the small home. Armerus kept his eye on the ECHO device as everyone else cheered and started planning on how they were going to split the numerous treasures that will be found. "Something doesn't feel right about you Alphonse. But I'm going to trust you for now." He said with a soft growl before entering in on the other conversation. His eyes kept looking over at Li, and soon Red caught onto it. A small chuckle escaped him before stepping out of the conversation and pulling the gray wolf with him. Going into the next room, Red just laughed again. "You want to know something funny about snipers? Our eyes can get conditioned to a point where they are able to pick up even the smallest movements, even the ones eyes make. And I saw where yours were looking." He said as he leaned up on the wall behind him.

"Then where were they looking, if you happen to noticed." Armerus said, as he nervously rubbed his arm, hoping that the red wolf was just kidding.

"The same place as always. Well, the same person actually. Li." Red said with a chuckle. "You have a little crush on her, don't you?"

"Well... um... it's not what you think Red, your too young to understand."

"To young? Dude, I'm in my 20's, I don't know what you're talking about but I a thing or two about life and love. You have a crush on her."

"Yes, I have a crush, okay? It's not like you have one on Nady!"

"True, but she crushes everyone when she isn't careful so I guess you can say 'do onto others as they would do onto you' or something like that."

Shaking his head, Armerus let out a sigh. "Just don't tell her, okay? I'm trying to get everything right and thought out before I do."

"Planned out? Dude, we basically live day by day. If you see a chance, take it. But may I ask why you like her so much?"

A small blush came to the gray wolf as he mumbled his answer. "She's fat..."

"What?"

"She's fat. I like my gals with a little extra weight on them, okay?"

A small smile came onto Red's face as he slowly nodded. "Well, okay then. If you need any help with whatever your planning, just ask."

"Thanks Red. Just don't say anything to anyone about it please."

Laughing, Red started to make his way back into the other room. "No problem, now let's get back to the others and plan out how we're going to get this vault. This doesn't sound like a normal shot and snatched."

"You're right. Everyone needs roles in this mission, and it needs to go perfectly if we all are going to benefit from it." Armerus said as he followed Red out and went to the others as he thought of their new mission.
