The Story of Fluffy

[BrotherMagneto]

He came out of the desert near Highpool one day, skin bronzed from exposure to who-knows-what kind of radiation and sporting the biggest mean for killing robots and cyborgs any of us had ever seen. He aced his basic training courses, running through the Desert Ranger program like a radrat on snake squeezin's - SMG, Rifle, Toaster Repair, Combat Shooting - the kid was a savant. But he blew the records off the AT Weapons course - literally - showing us ways to take out a Scorpitron that 20 year veteran Rangers hadn't even thought of. It wasn't long before we handed him a pacel of LAW rockets and sent him out into the wastes to the north - there were some ugly rumors coming out of Darwin and we needed a team to look into it. He hand-picked Vulnan, Brainleach and Morgaine to round out his party. Green recruits all but with a kid like Fluffy leading his first field op, we expected great things. Little did we know...

His first field report resulted in Fluffy receiving not one but two promotions. Fluffy lead his party north, meeting rail nomads and other roaming scum and putting them down appropriately. He reported a vast radiation field around Darwin, something we only speculated at in the mission briefing. Good to have it confirmed. Better to have Fluffy lead his party west. He noted the Guardians only fired a few errant potshots as the Rangers went by. They're really slipping these days. Might be time to crack that nut.

Fluffy reported tracking down the rail nomads to a shitty camp between the Citadel and Darwin; they went in guns and rockets blazing an emptied more than a few clips in the process. Not the best use of resources but they found a stock of snake squeezin's on some dead hobo. Rumor has it the black market in Darwin will pay handsomely for that. After Fluffy pinned some medals to his chest (created from some worthless bottle caps he found lying in the dirt), the group resumed their journey north around Darwin's radiation belt.

They approached from the north, entering the old research station like the newly-badged Desert Rangers they were. Fluffy took point, and when a cadre of Base Policemen appeared he hesitated only a moment before pulling out his LAW Rocket. His first shot went wide, and the cops responded by spraying Fluffy's Ranger squad with a hail of 7.62 bullets. Vulnan took a bullet to the arm, squeezing off a shot in return, before Fluffy tossed the empty rocket aside and pulled another one out of his pack. The policeman twitched once before Fluffy ignited his rocket and blew a hole through the Base Policeman, exploding the overzealous cop like a rotted blood sausage.
