Video/Public

[The subject of this video isn't Boone. Instead, it's the outer fence around the village. The only sound for a few moments is of a dog quietly whining, but then Boone speaks.]

Came across this not long ago.

["This" being evidence of some pretty strong explosions happening outside the fence. There are a couple of spider legs just lying around nearby, but nothing else.]

Fence seems fine, but what I wanna know is who or what the hell is blowing things up outside it. You don't need to blow up a spider to kill it.

Not a lot bothers Rex, but he's been doing this ever since we got here. Whining, keeping away from the fence. I've known him to run straight into groups of deathclaws before, so I figure if he's spooked, I probably don't wanna get too close to whatever it is that's spooking him. Saw some shapes moving around through the trees earlier, but I couldn't make out what they were. Tried watching through my scope, but it didn't help. Just... sort of looked like the trees were moving.

[Which is ridiculous really, because he knows the damn trees aren't moving.]

Just figured I'd give everyone a heads up, anyway. Not sure if it's happening in other places yet, but if you see or find out anything let me know.

Alright, I'll come. I think I know generally where that is.

[He'll just start heading that way with his horrible four-eyed dog-beast. Which isn't really horrible.]

[Niko wrinkles his nose because he can smell familiar dust on the air. There's always a difference between a bomb that hits earth and one that hits buildings, and even in an alien place he can taste it when he breathes in.]

[He gives him a lazy wave of his own, the hound following him as he heads over. The closer he gets, though, the more the dog's fur bristles up. It keeps following Niko, it's dead set on doing that, but there's something it doesn't like about the place.]

No. [Niko watches the cagey behavior.] He doesn't seem happy at all.

[He watches the metal dog start to look as pitiful as any other dog, and since he doesn't currently have his rifle with a scope he motions to Boone.]

You say you see movement. Can I take a look?

I have been thrown by enough explosives for a little while [He says as he watches down the scope.]

I suppose if there's something out there everywhere, I will find out about it soon enough. [He is a guide, after all.]

[The nameless hound's bristles eventually start to go down, even though Niko doesn't see anything leave. He hands the rifle back and the animal yawns in a way that's more like a possum than a dog- mouth going a little too open, but at least he's relaxing. For now.]

[After a long bout of consideration, he just waves off in the direction of the trees, as if he's dismissing whatever it is.]

Oh well. If they get me, not the first explosion I've seen. So I'll be alright.

[Nothing's managed to kill him yet, and hey, the dog getting a mohawk is fair(?) warning.]

[He almost says something about not being able to die even if he wants to, but that seems a little inappropriate. So instead he goes with-] I'm lucky for an unlucky guy. I'll keep my eyes open.

[But he's looking at that explosion again, now.]

It still looks a little like a mine to me. Like it wasn't fired in, but it just went off where it was left. [He tries to make a motion from one hand into the other, as if it's the wall, like you would throw a grenade or shoot a rocket. To him it looks like it just went off.]

It might be better that, for the next trip, I stick with someone that wants to go one of the open spaces. Ah?

[He looks at the hound and it cocks its head at him. Then just... barks. Barks like an Earth dog at least.]

Better two than one. Sure. [He'll have to go out there eventually anyway.]

[He loosely motions to the hound and it just gets ready to trot along. It doesn't seem so bothered now. Which he'll take as a good sign.]

It is just that end of town. You don't talk if you've seen something or heard something. [Which, even if Niko weren't involved with who he was tied in with, he would choose to live in a place like that] I didn't even see tracks, though. That is strange... usually there are tracks.

[Niko pulls out an actual paper map of the area. He's holds it with a crinkle, against his hand, and is finding their location along the fence as they walk.]

Probably a little fight. They're trying very hard to make the place look good for the visitors, the missed something big. It happens a lot. [He's usually the one that takes advantage of people fighting.]

It's really strange that there are no tracks back there. [As he watches the ground where they walk, it's still striking him as odd.]

[He would walk off too. Hell, he'd be the cause of the fight. It's a little sad, he likes Boone. He doesn't really want to make trouble for him. But considering his history it seems almost inevitable.]

Well, I'm sorry ahead of time, and I'll not put up a fuss whenever you have to arrest me for a fight, ah? In my world all the security is jerks, but you seem like nice guy.

Maybe. But then you think you would be able to see a car.

[He forgot about the hovering vehicles and while he likes the option of keeping a quiet trail, not being able to follow tracks annoys him.]

I don't really intend to, but uh... Maybe it is where I grew up, being poor, maybe even having my asshole of a father.

[He's never been very quiet on disliking his father, but he adds (mostly for posterity)-] I wish I had gotten a little more of my mother. The woman has the patience of a saint.

[As for the not talking- he can't promise to bring him information. That would be wrong, But he can try to discourage any stupidity that happens, or try to stop it himself. Though there's an uncomfortable sense of dread from his current position.]

[At least his affiliation is with the warrior group. Boone probably would be less forgiving if he discovered Niko to be helping the Orions, and he doesn't even know what Boone's thoughts are on slavers yet.]

You seem like that type of guy. Like ah... like you have a battery that you are only willing to spend so much energy on. With talking or with dealing with things you don't want to.

That's not the right way to put it.

You get the idea.

[He looks around, still not seeing anything. He finally does see a spider off in the distance, between trunks, and points off there.]

Might have been a spider moving strange that you saw?
