As Chris closed on Rivet city the surroundings change. The dust and stones were replaced by ruins. It must have been a big city most buildings were still standing. He knew he had to be more cautious. The ruins mean a lot of cover and a jungle like this even a super mutant could hide himself. He pulled his hunting rifle out from the top of his backpack. He checked the weapon. He also checked his revolver. He was satisfied that both weapon were operational and in a good shape.<br/><br/>He walked along the empty streets and his eyes continuously scanned the area. He expected an attack after every corner and searched the windows to find a barrel aiming at him. Maybe someone would call him paranoid, but he rather be paranoid than dead. He toyed with the idea that he should choose a more covered route and stay out of sight. But he needed to reach Rivet City today. His supply was running low.<br/><br/>After several hours of marching he reached his destination. The ship was bigger as he imagined and was amazed what could humans accomplished before the war. However a lot of people were around the drawbridge and they were not entering the city nor leaving it. He didn't liked it. Again he checked his weapons threw the hunting rifle over his shoulder then walked to them.<br/><br/>He planned to talk with some of the merchants about the situation but he didn't managed to get them. His attention focused on a woman who stand not far from the drawbridge. He even stopped as he realized what kind of weapon she's got. A super sledge hammer! It was a product of the Brotherhood. His eyes scanned the woman from top to bottom to find anything else what was related to the Brotherhood. Fortunately she didn't wear any kind of their uniforms and he didn't notice anything else. And he didn't recognize her so even if she was a member of the Brotherhood they didn't know each other so she couldn't identify him. However he stared at her just enough to provoke. So he turned his head towards the merchants.<br/><br/>He stepped to two man who were discussing something.<br/>"Excuse me? Why everybody standing in here instead of entering the city?"<br/>"You didn't hear it?" asked back one of them "It has been an accident in the city. Now they locked down thew gates only those are free to enter who had medical supplies. I've also heard that on of the city leaders are searching for some scavenger and mercenaries who can bring them medical supply."<br/>"Hmm really?" Chris pondered the opportunity. It's not that he was afraid of fight and he did mercenary job before it's just he proffered to be a mechanic. "And who should I speak to if  I'm intrested?"<br/>The merchant shrugged.<br/>"I don't know. But as I heard from conversation those peoples are also up for it" he pointed to the direction of a few people and that woman with the super sledge was amongst them. He thanked the help then approached the other scavengers.<br/><br/>He was still holding his rifle with one hand.<br/>"Hello there! I'm just arrived and I heard about that Rivet city need a few men for a job. Do you know details?"
