You slowly come to with a splitting head ache and the feeling of the cold concrete on your face. What happen... you think rattling your brain for clues. "It's just one bounty! How hard can it be?" Your friend's words echoed in your head. It wasn't the first time you friend brought you along on a bounty after all you trusted each other and splitting a reward was a lot better than dying trying to collect it alone. It was good money too after all with the minutemen gone there wasn't much law left in the Commonwealth so the tried and true way of bounty hunting made a resurgence.

Most of the time it was clearing out feral ghouls from trade routs, or knocking off some raider getting a little too big for comfort. A few were... dubious and the one your friend was talking about screamed HIT JOB. "Have I ever steered you wrong?" After replying with a curt "yes" your buddy looked over there shoulder and leans closer. "Look the pays good and I'd feel better with you watching my back." Over your friends shoulder you see two other people gunners maybe? No wonder they were nervous. "We go in bag it and bug out!" A little voice in the back of your head told you that this was a bad idea, and considering the rope chafing your wrist you were right. You quickly shift your legs to confirm that they are also bound. that's not good.

You look around with only the grey walls and banks of long deactivated computers to greet you. Some old prewar satellite relay if you remember right. Your friend had led you and the two mercs here. He had good information that the target was inside. Not that you knew who or what the target was. "all right lets split up gang! Me and..." Your friend didn't' get to finish as the two mercs walked off together. That was for the best it seemed, but considering your current predicament... probably not a good idea. Undentured your friend lead the way with there new shinny combat shotgun. "We just go in nab her and bug out! Nothing too difficult!" Then a sudden pain to the back of your head... and here you are. Helpless. GLORP!

Your heart races as a strange sound echos from somewhere in the facility... SLOSH SLORSH BLORP! It sounds like... water in a jug sloshing... but... different... and it was getting closer... frantically you try to tear the bindings off biting into the course rope with your teeth. SLOSH GLOrP GLUG!! You stop as a shadow covers you... "Awake are we?" A soft feminine voice greets you accents a little odd but maybe... maybe this won't be so bad. You roll over to great the stranger and a strange sight greats you. A big bulging belly blots out the florescent light above with several strange bulges pushing out and a pair of blue eyes staring down at you. Then woman kneels down in front of you giving you a better look at her gut and the strange bulges suddenly have a shape... a skeletal shape... Gurrrrggllleee

"Hi there!" The woman's cheerful voice is at odds with the grizzly sight resting in front of you. "I couldn't help but over hear friend here..." She placed a hand on her belly indicating who it was stewing in her gut. "...Talking about nabbing me. Unfortunately he's not in a talkative mood." It was terrifying finding out that your friend was nothing more than meat stewing away in this woman's belly, but it was her tone that made it worse. She was so... nonchalant about it... like she was talking about some snack cakes and not a whole human life snuffed out by her hungry stomach. Her hand gently patted her belly before settling into a slow rub. "So... I have some questions for you." Beads of sweat form on your forehead as she looks down at you with a content smile on her face. "Tell the truth and nothing bad will happen. Lie to me and I'll have seconds."
