"No. Unlike the rest of these inbred mutated idiots he has an actual brain," she admits. Thanks solely to her words that desert ranger finally lowers his gun.

"Really? Him? Seriously? I cannot believe it. The boy back at base are never gonna believe this," he guffawed. "To think all it took to win your cold icy heart was a kidnapping, rescue, and rape session all rolled up in one. Fucking unbelievable."

"Unlike some, I have adjusted to wasteland sensibilities. Besides, have you really forgotten about my family? What would they think hm? I did not lose my honor nor was disgraced. It is only proper that I repay his favor," she icily responds.

"...Damn, you are actually serious, well fuck me," grumbles the desert ranger.

"Well now that your VIP has been recovered, I believe that's it," says the mysterious swamp ranger who turns towards you. "By the way, your Great Uncle Ernie told me to send you his regards if we ever met."

"Wait you KNOW my great uncle? He's even still ALIVE despite being so old," you couldn't help ask slack-jawed and in shock.

"Yeah he's still kicking, last I heard, but he joined up with the Eastern Mountain Rangers of Appalachia. We had a few cases together. Great guy," confirms the swamp ranger nodding.

"Really, where is he then? Nobody has seen him around here in decades," you inquired.

"Unlike this stretch of land which is very...peaceful compared to other places of the wastes. No real need for Rangers and much Wasteland Justice here, so he left for somewhere he WAS needed. Has been doing good work ever since. Saved a lot of people. Planted a lot of scum in the ground."

"I'll be damned...I thought he never returned because of all those people he killed or freed and his crude court at the Prison with that bloodbath. Assuming he was still alive anyway."

"Naw he's fine...different. Changed but stronger than ever."

"Ah...so that is why his old age didn't catch up with them."

"Yeah, no way you would recognize him now," admitted the swamp ranger shaking his head. "Ended up as one of those new fangled 'ghouls'. Kept his wits and mind, though. If you want to find him I would suggest heading north deeper into the mountains. Here...is a weird spot. Not enough 'injustice' for our kind to be needed. If you head further South you'll just run into us swamp rangers instead."

"So wait WHY are you here then," suddenly interrupted Kristina with a question.

That is what it is for. I might not think of a way but that doesn't mean an anon won't.
