[b][i]He awakens to see himself being dragged, the man continuously reassuring him.[/i][/b] "Cmon, please don't die. The camps only 100ft away."
-
[b]He gives a slight grin[/b] Old man, that you?
-
[b][i]Jakob looks at you.[/i][/b] "Depends, you know my name?"
-
[b]He chuckles slightly, resulting in a fit of coughing[/b] Yes, yes I do Jakob.
-
"May sound stupid but I forget yours."
-
[b]He chuckles again[/b] I'm nobody.
-
"Right. Now I remember. Did that fall break your nose again?"
-
You're gonna make me cough up a lung. And no, it did not.
-
"Hey, you know where a medic is?"
-
[b]He slowly raises his head and glares at you[/b] Rude.
-
"Why? Holy shit! Dude I'm sorry I completely forgot." He says laughing.
-
[b]He lets his head plop back down on the sand[/b] Yeah yeah yeah, whatever. How close are we?
-
"To my base? About 50 feet away."
-
Alright, alright. I can walk fifty feet. [b]He pulls his legs away from you and stands up, slightly unsteady at first[/b]
-
[b][i]He supports you, helping you over.[/i][/b] "I think you need some water. Cmon, I've purified some."
-
Considering I haven't had any in... Two? Three days? Probably.
-
[b][i]As they get there, he puts you down on a wall, and gets you a cup of water. It's a normal steel cup, but it does its job.[/i][/b]
-
[b]He downs it all, a bit dribbling down his chin[/b] Much better.
-
"I've got some more, so enjoy it, don't scarf."
-
[b]He chuckles[/b] I'm not looking to enjoy it, I'm looking to not die.
-
"Still, savour it. Later I have a favour to ask you."
-
[b]He picks himself up, still leaning up against the wall[/b] Well, ask me now. This planet isn't safe last I heard. Dunno how long we'll live.
-
[b][i]He opens a duffle bag, revealing what looks like a harness, with tubes and a liquid in them.[/i][/b] "I need you to hook this up to me. It's a strength booster. don't ask how I got it."
-
[b]He scowls[/b] I won't ask how you got it, but I'm not just hooking a mysterious device up to you without a bit of information.

"It's a prototype design I snagged back in an old base raid. I fought a guy using one and it enhances strength, speed, the works. The only problem is it connects to the nerves, so not the least painful thing. It'll be fine. I can take it off whenever I please."
