"I thought so!" And then she pulls out the mesmatron and mesmatrons Tim.

Tyler laughs his dang old butt off.

"Wait wha-" is all Tim says before he's hit by the blast. He is now at Stacy's and Tyler's command.

Tim gets a slave collar. "Poor guy. It's almost like kicking a dog - he seems so eager," Stacy remarks as she fits the collar.

"Of course, we're Panthers, and dogs are just meat to us." Shrugging, he leads Tim back to the camp.

"So we're slavers now, I guess? I'm perfectly alright with that."

As the sun sets, James rolls around in the dirt to cover up his highly visible vault suit. He also rubs some dust and dirt over his face and the backs of his hands to cover up the shine. Then he looks over to the slaver encampment so see if there are any patrols or guards hidden anywhere.

"They're all around the fire."
"Okay, what about-"
"BY THE FIRE!"

Stacy shrugs. "We're getting new blood for the Vault. Doesn't mean I'm going to make a habit of this."

Oh, O.K.

James dumps the rocks out of his pockets, and ties his sling back around his waist. He draws his pistol and tries to sneak over to the house, placing any cover he can find between him and the kumbaya singalong squad

Cecil reaches the house without incident. He sneaks in and sees the computer. Right next to T-Bone's bed. In which T-Bone is sleeping in. Figures.

Luck has never let Cecil down yet. He picks up any weapons he can see (more to prevent T-bone using them than in order to use them himself) and turns his attention, very very quietly, to the computer.

Is it still logged in? Now, let's see how quickly I can deactivate the collars... I wonder if I can make them all unlock from here? Or... hmmm... can I see how to detonate mine? Not while I'm wearing it, of course...

Ran moves the plywood aside enough for him to slip inside the perimeter. Assuming the coast is clear, he'll sneak inside and take up a position just inside where he can get a decent shot at those around the campfire and still be able to get back out quickly afterward.

Stacy takes Tim back to T-Bone's place.

Tyler follows along, unsure how he got in this position (following) and becoming increasingly ornrey about it.

The console is surprisingly still logged in. Cecil can see two commands from here: Unlock All and Detonate All.

Ran finds himself in one of the slave pens (gates opened, don't worry). It's chain link and dark outside, so he's able to get right up to the fence and not be spotted.

Stacy and Tyler reach the house. They either knock or barge right in.
