*two weeks later, on the Southeast border of the gulf*
Sawyer and Astrid walk, parched, famined, tired. Sand infests their shoes and crawls into every inch of their body. Astrid carries her arc tesla in hand, tired enough that her finger is at verge of it going off, and Sawyer stumbles through the sand, a retractable tent in hand.
Sawyer almost collapses, but a sight on the horizon fills him with excitement.
"Freehold is... right there..." Sawyer mumbles, his words slurred, bend over and wheezing.

[b]Astrid stands up and checks herself, she sees a large piece of metal sticking out of her leg so she pulls it out, gray blood slowly drips down her leg[/b]
-
"That's not gross."
-
"I don't feel pain easily, the bleeding will stop soon."
-
"Ok then. Do you have the bombs?"
-
"Yup." [b]Astrid pats her pack[/b]
-
"Thanks." Astrid hands Saywer the bombs which he places on the stone pillars. Right as he rigs the last one, there is a loud cocking of guns. "Stop right there!" A Red Baron leader shrieks, with hundreds of Red Barons, dressed in fur coats in aviator goggles behind him with loaded rifles. Sawyer makes a break for it, and Astrid follows as a volley of gunfire echoes down the hall.
-
[b]Astrid fires at them while running, killing a few as they escape[/b]
-
They run down a hall, and then Sawyer shrieks. Oh no, his leg! It's caught in a bear trap! "NNNOOOOOOOOOO"
-
"Shit!" [b]Astrid prys the bear trap off him and carries him on her back the rest of the way[/b]
-
Sawyer blind fires his gun until it is empty, holding the Barons off for a short time.
-
[b]the reach the exit and Astrid presses a button, detonating the bombs[/b]
-
The pillars explode and the whole structure caves in on itself, killing everyone outside and leaving only rubble. "Now [i]that[/i], was f[i]u[/i]cking cool."
-
"Hell yeah, now we need to check your leg."
-
"It feels like shit."
-
[b]Astrid puts him down and checks his leg[/b]
-
"Is it infected?"
-
"I don't think so."
-
"Cool beans. Just patch it up and we'll walk back to your forge."
-
"Wait..... I think a tendon is severed."
-
"What does that mean?"
-
"I don't think you're be able to walk."
-
"...."
-
"I'm guessing you're upset?"
-
"That I can never walk again?"
-
"We have two options, I can carry you or I can splice your genes with night remnant DNA."
