009: I can fix it...

[hardhat_truckie]

Action: Outside the hospital

[No sooner had the hospital released him did Engie start to make the long, tiring road back. Without a mirror, he has no idea that there's a sapper stuck to his back that's draining him. But right now, he knows that the first step to fixing the problem is to know what it is.]

Action: 1450 Mitchell Street

[He pushes the door open and stumbles into the house. The walk back had taken out quite a bit of his energy, and he now knows that Dr Johnson must have done something else to him other than implant those metal wings on his back. He sinks down on the couch; he needs to catch his breath and rest or he won't be able to carry on.]

Howdy there folks. Engie here. I was wonderin' whether any of ya want some help? I can't claim to be a doctor, but I've got a degree in Medicine an' I know a thing or two.

(If it were anyone else, Sniper might have sassed back with "no, shit, Sherlock", but it's Truckie and it's event time and he needs a traumabro.)

You said it.

[Engie sighs.]

Well, no point moppin' about it. I guess the question is what are we gonna do? I'd like to go and let'em have a piece of m'mind, but I last I couldn't get into the factory.

[ex_haveaplan64]

You tell me. If th' drinks around 'ere didn't taste loike piss I'd be off moi face already.

[hardhat_truckie]

At times like this, I wish I had Demo's Scrumpy. A few shots a'that, an' I'd be out like a light.

[ex_haveaplan64]

Too bad wot li'ell I saved is gone. After this mess is over I've got 'alf a moind t' troi brewing some moiself.

[hardhat_truckie]

I'll help ya. I got Demo ta show me how ta make it back before Christmas. We'll make damn good Scrumpy, an' drink the night away.

[ex_haveaplan64]

That's th' best oidea I've 'eard in a woile. It's a promise--we'll make th' best Scrumpy this soide 'f Mayfield.

[hardhat_truckie]

We'll have a good ol' barbecue to go with it too. Scrumpy, some meat, an' the stars. It'll almost be like back home. Almost.
