* max eventually makes it up to the front of the line to get his rations for the morning and it was fride potatos in garlic and some corn not the greatest meal but he would pick around with the potatoes before taking a seat at his van/camp site in the community grounds he would start rummaging threw stuff to try and find a pot for the fire so he could start making something hopefully better with the corn and potatoes with whatever rations he had stored in his van not so long after he throws the morning food in the pot and gets two cans of chicken and dumps them in the pot as well he would then widdle a soup spoon out of a branch and use that to stear the food *
Verla had arrived just the night before, so she was still learning things. She was a skilled hunter, having a crossbow and knives on her hips with a gun in a holster on the back of her waist. She didn't go anywhere without her weapons, until last night where she could either be eaten by a passing by horde, or she could give them up for the night and sleep peacefully. She was stubborn, and almost tried to think of ways to try and outrun the horde, but she knew that could take days. So she slept peacefully, and woke up the next morning to get something to eat, as she hadn't eaten in days. She got in line in the community grounds and when she had her plate, she turned around to look at everyone and she inhaled deeply. She found an empty picnic table near a van with a guy sitting in it, and she put her hood up as she walked over to it, sitting away from everyone as she took her time enjoying the food which could've tasted worse. She wasn't a picky eater, however when she smelled chicken she turned and found where the smell was coming from, the guy in the van. She turned away quickly and kept her head down.
* max seemed like he was at peace for once in a long time almost as if the world around him was torn apart by the undead he would notice the women who say alone over at the picnic table but didn't mind her to much he would then see some children off in the distance looking at the pot of stew max had been cooking he would then get some old tuberwear bowls and pour some he would then take a couple of spoonfuls and put some stew in each bowl he would then get up and take the bowls near the children who were afraid to approach him so he would leave the bowls on a log stump and wave at them to take the bowls as he would walk away back to his van and take another seat he would would then scoop another bowl for himself and he would slowly drink it evening if it was burning hot it was a lot batter then the morning food *
Max: well it's no beef stew or chili but I say I did good with what I had
* he said to himself as he would observe he would see a big kinda like smoke cloud off behind a thing of hills off in the distance he knew it wasn't any normal cloud it was the dust cloud of a horde it mad max snap back into reality and almost put a worrying look on his face but with that no life he would start organizing his belongings as he left the stew simmer *
Max: ok so that horde was maybe a good couple of miles away so I should be able to stay here one last night I just have to make sure the van at least starts till then * he said as he would drag a Minnie generator out of the van and some jumper cables and start dialing with the vans battery and he would also grab a jack and a foot air pump for the tires of the van it would all couse a little comossion leaving other survives to wonder what he was doing but a lot of them didn't pay much mind *

Sue and her companion Sue bot traveled a long way, having heard rumors over Sue bot's radio, wherever she could pick up a signal, that a safe haven existed somewhere to the north. They had no vehicle, but Sue had no problem carrying Sue bot on her back whenever she used Dash Vixen to get a boost. It was great for short bursts, to cover long distances easily, but carrying Sue bot while exerting her abilities would overheat the ID machine a lot faster.
To make up for it, Sue bot happily obliged to carry Sue when she grew tired. They went without a radio signal for a long time at one point... but finally, one day, the signal came in strongest.
"Hello! Can anyone hear me?" Sue bot asked over the line. People were already talking, but it came as a surprise to her when they actually answered back!
"Loud and clear! Where are you? Over."
"I'm in a forest! It's dark, but I see many trees that have been marked with X's. Me and my mommy have been following them for a while! Over!"
"Keep going! Don't give up now, you're almost there! Over!"
"Heh. Good girl, Sue bot. I can walk from here." Sue pat her double on the shoulder while the android happily let her down. The two continued until they saw the walls...

* max would hear the singles from the other survivers in the settlement he would hear the conversation from the front of his van he would take a moment before looking at the smoke in the distance from the horde and then in front of himself in thought he would then go over to the gate with his Winchester and go up and use a flashlight to light the bottem of the wall he would then see the women and the robot kinda shocked but he didn't really fought that someone could get some kinda machine to work and he thought maybe he could take this chance to see if the women could help but so he would then call out *
Max: you miss you got any bites or injuries* he said holding the light on her * max: we can help you if you have any sorta skills that can be of use to us if not then all we can do is give you some food and a little bit of medicine
*He said not wanting to leave her out of the settlement but for obvious reasons that stuff wasn't openly available or to many people at least he thought *

"No, no bites." Sue knew why the man asked. She'd seen what happens to somebody who gets bitten by the undead. "Totally healthy here. Got tons of protection here. Not worried about myself." Sue huffed. She didn't encounter many humans on the open road, but the ones she did, were already bitten. She had no problem taking them out of their misery. But the reason this situation felt dire lent itself to the fact that she couldn't willingly leave the current dimension if she wanted to. Some force kept her there, another quality of some worlds Sue traversed, or perhaps the nature of her own device. Did it know when to let her hop and when to do it on its own? Or was every result completely random? She liked to think that an intelligence far beyond her own lived inside the machine she kept close, since normally when it wouldn't permit her to leave a dimension instantly, it almost certainly always meant she had something important to do there.
"What's your name?" she asked. "Trust me, I have lots of skills."
"What's your name?" she asked. "Trust me, I have lots of skills."
* max would take a good long look before lowering his gun he would signal to some of the other survivers to open the gate slightly *
Max: I'm max just the same as you just I don't have a cool wolf hat like you
* he said with a slight chuckle *
max: get in in here quick well get you looked over and your friend then we can figure out what you can be useful with here and I'll let you stay at my camp spot for now till we settle you in
* he said turning off the light and walked down holding the rifle on his back with his arms are over it*
Max: I'm max just the same as you just I don't have a cool wolf hat like you

"Heh." Sue resisted the desire to correct him that her hat was a fox. She didn't mind letting call it a wolf, but regardless she called it by a name. "That's Charlie. He is pretty cool." She smiled. But the check made her nervous. "Don't touch that thing on my stomach, seriously."
Sue bot giggled! "You can touch my belly!"
Sue bot giggled! "You can touch my belly!"
* max would see the fox skin and chuckle *
Max: my apologies it's a fox hat not wild but uh no we don't exactly like do a full body check we just need to check your arms legs and neck so your stomach is fine unless it doesn't then we'll get a the doctor over here to check that out *he said as he would signal for her to follow him to his van camp site *
Max: there's some stew still left over if your hungry it'll just be a minute for the doc
Max: my apologies it's a fox hat not wild but uh no we don't exactly like do a full body check we just need to check your arms legs and neck so your stomach is fine unless it doesn't then we'll get a the doctor over here to check that out *he said as he would signal for her to follow him to his van camp site *
Max: there's some stew still left over if your hungry it'll just be a minute for the doc
* max would then get her a bowl and a spoon for sue then we'll he grabbed another bowl but didn't know what to grab for the robot *
Max: um does your friend eat or like eat other kinds stuff * he said unsure how to ask * sorry I've never well met a robot before so you know

Sue bot whirred happily from being talked about~ she loved the attention! "Hey I don't mind! If you wanna check my arms and legs out go ahead!"
"Don't listen to her, she just wants to be touched and looked at."
"Mommy what if they want toooo?"
Sue laughed. "You see this dude?" she said to Max, "Absolute manipulation!"
Sue bot whined! "Nooooo it's noooot!" She pouted!
Sue sighed. "Alright alrighht, if they wanna look at you they can. ONLY if they want to~" Sue said looking into her eyes.
"Yay!" Sue bot cheered! She was so happy to be spoiled by mommy and let some survivor settlers spoil her more if they wanted to.
Sue thanked Max for the bowl and spoon. "Got any motor oil? Or some electrical output? Or even little batteries she can nibble on? Anything with voltage works."
Max: well I got some like old mother oil I haven't used for my van since well things started she can have and I mean if your friend I guess seems that ever I won't disappoint * he said with a chuckle before running to the side of the van and grabbing the motee oil from the back seat hw would then hand the bottle to sue bot and we'll not knowing exactly what to look for on a robot he would just pat her head a little to not be to weird *
Max: so is your sue bot like your friend or more like a servant or what's that hole ordeal* max laughed a little *
max: and thank you I well try to be as nice as I can but ya since the undead are growing in larger numbers you don't know if someone is already infected and ends up eating everyone here so that's why we had a lot of guns on ya and we'll don't try to get to comfy right now couse if you look out pat that hilltop
* he said pointing towards the cloud of dust *
Max: that my friend is a horde and it's got about a day or two before it hits here so alot of people are ether bugging out or gathering as much supplies as possible to handle it but well I'm not so sure what my plan is I've been trying to keep my van in shape for getaways but a number of zombie skulls and such have not been easy so I don't think I got to many options but I won't bore you with all that how did you two end up here
* Max asked as then the settlement doctor came by they didn't say much besides to lift her arms and move some of the clothes to revil any vunribal spots for bites *
Doctor: well your ok miss but um your friend I don't exactly know what to look for since there not human * he said before saying goodbye and left *

Sue bot excitedly accepted the bottle of motor oil and turned it bottom up, drinking it straight into her gullet while Sue slipped a hand into her coat pocket, leaving one hand to hold the dishes. She answered Max's next question promptly before listening to his intel on the zombie hoard that loomed over the settlement; one or two days he said, they were expected to reach the gates. Sue smirked. Finally, a good chance to do some target practice.
"Sue bot's family. Sure she's capable of a lot of things, but she's not my servant. She's a gift from my friend, and I consider her more like an adopted daughter." Sue smiled. "Still doesn't mean I want her to be full of herself. Right, little baby?"
Sue bot beamed with pride while Sue talked about her, until her mom grabbed her nose and wiggled her face, making Sue bot squeal and whine some more~ "Noooo mommy! Hehe stooop!" Sue stuck her tongue out and her face scrunched up into a gremlin-esque mischievous grin. Sue took the news about the approaching mob as a challenge accepted. The doctors came by shortly and while they checked her quickly for any signs of infection - and unltimately found none - she proposed a deal to Max. "Tell ya what. I'll help you take out that group o zombies long before it gets here if you get me a team together and a truck to take us down there. Should be fun! Whadda ya say?"
Sue bot chased the doctors when they started to leave and got down on her belly, grabbing onto one of the doctors' ankle. "PLEAAAASEEE INSPECT ME! I WANNA BE CHECKED TOO! PLEASSSSSEEEEEE!!!!"

Max: you don't say huh now how do you expect you to take a out a horde of a hundred or more zombies before it gets here got like rocket missile or something * he said with a chuckle as the doctor would run off trying to get sue bot off of him comidictly *
Max: and for the truck I can offer my van if you can get it working there's not many vehicles here besides mine and what kinda group are you looking for couse alot of folks here are familys that don't want to be in the outside fearing there every move
Max: and for the truck I can offer my van if you can get it working there's not many vehicles here besides mine and what kinda group are you looking for couse alot of folks here are familys that don't want to be in the outside fearing there every move
"You don't say? Nobody wants to go out and face them zombies?" Sue scratched her chin. "Well you wouldn't believe it unless I showed you my secret weapon. But even me and Sue bot could take on that hoard just the two of us! I'd just like a witness from your group to come if we can get that van working. If nobody would go help me fight em, would you come with me so you can tell everyone to evacuate if I don't make it?" She seemed to be very casual about risking her life, but she still sounded confident that she could do it without the settlement's help.
* max raised his brow when she mentioned a secret weapon but max would nod to her request*
Max: well I can do that no problem but ugh sorry I just well I've never been up to a horde before like fighting them I've really only hid from them before so * he sighs*
I'll come with you but we ain't going anywhere with the van still coput the engine hasn't turned over in at least 5 months I got here and the only reason they let me in was for the van but well I kinda lied and said I could get it running but I've had no luck with the dang thing but what's this secret weapon like you got a fat man from fallout with you
* he said chuckling a little at his joke *
Max: and ya unfortunately not alot of them do they just barely get by with moving from place to place let alone fight the undead
Max: well I can do that no problem but ugh sorry I just well I've never been up to a horde before like fighting them I've really only hid from them before so * he sighs*

"Got any guns?" Sue asked while looking at Sue bot. "Sue bot there has a glass cannon you can borrow if you need. Don't worry about ammo. As for me... well, it's a secret~ Until you live long enough to watch me use it." Sue looked over at Sue bot who still clung to the doctor's foot as they got annoyed and tried to shake her off. "Hey, what's up Sue bot? Want mommy to check your arms?" Sue had hovered over to Sue bot and crouched beside her, and asked the doctor to stay still for a bit.
"C'mon, it's alright." Sue coaxed Sue bot off the doctor with some gentle pets. Then Sue bot sat up and Sue sat beside her, taking off her jacket and checking Sue bot's arms for bites. "Feels comfy? Ok, let's check the first one~" she said and she brushed her fingers down the length of Sue bot's arm. She lifted Sue bot's arms and checked underneath, then did the same with the other arm.
"Good!! No bites or infections on your arms! Let's check your body now." Sue cooed and she pulled the jacket away, checking around Sue bot's back, sides, shoulders, chest, and belly. "No bites or infections here! Good job! You didn't get hurt anywhere."
Sue bot cheered! She got a personal inspection from Mommy! "Yay! I'm clean!" Sue bot put her arms up while Sue put her jacket back on and stood her up.

* max would then chuckle at the secretly of sue but he wouldn't pry to much info out if she was going to show him eventually*
Max: hehe alright I'll take your word for it sue and ya I got a special part of the van I keep stocked up with atleat a few guns nothing special but if I took them out then I would have to pass them out to some folk but thank you for the offer with the canon
* he said as he would laugh to himself as he would watch sue bot terrorise the doctor over in the distance*
Max: so why does sue bot like being like looked over like is it like a comfort feeling when someone looks over her couse when you did it she seemed pretty happy

Sue smiled, as she preened Sue bot like a mother would, wiping any dirt off her body before putting the jacket back on. "Bah. Sue bot just likes attention. She's still a little baby, isn't she?" Sue cooed, rubbing her glass hair and cheek before getting up.
"Hehe! Yeah!" Sue bot squeaked~ She beamed when Sue patted her, then got up with her mom as Sue looked at Max.
"I'd suggest letting me handle Sue bot then, unless you got somebody here that's fond of robots. It would be nice if somebody watched her for me sometimes. But I know how to calm her down; if you got anyone that's able to watch her for me, I'll give em a list of maintenance requirements." She smiled, while Sue bot danced and twirled to pass the time~

* max didn't think of anyone specific that knew really anything about robots more was there any other scientists in the settlement so he thought for a second *
Max: well that makes seanse she does seem like a little kid not like rudely of course but I mean I was able to tinker with a old 70s radio when I was younger and I was actually able to make it play cassettes and music disc so if you need anyone I'm going to be the best chance.
I mean if she just needs like little repairs I think I can get some parts and such from the old workshop we haven't had running for a bit but it's not going to be anything like hi teck you know what do you plan on doing once I watch her though if you mind me asking if not I understand
* max said with a slight smirk wondering what sue had for her plan *
