"This," He said, holding out a sword with an oval shaped metal sheathe on it. "I want you to identify this."

Shorn suddenly stood very straight for a moment, and stared with wide eyes at the blade. Taking in a breath he whispered,
"Where did you find that?"

"It was within the hands of a statue of a man on a horse. Everyone who sees it freaks out." He said, feeling the metal sheathe with his right hand.

"And with good reason," Shorn said staring at it "this is a pre-war weapon. Back when the use of biogenetic engeneiring was still acceptable, and commonly used. This thing is a relic! I can't tell you much about it now, seeing as I cant determine the model because the sheath is still on, but I can tell you that this thing is older than I am and predates our war by about 500 years."

Woah... how do we remove the sheathe? I bet we could sell this for a mint." Leo said, licking his lips greedily.

"There isn't a form of currency high enough to estimate the value of that thing, even the sheath on it's own is priceless. However i would suggest not attempting to remove the sheath. It uses technology that is strictly taboo, and for a good reason. I would suggest even going so far as to destroy it if that could be done, but it is made of a material so virulent that this can't happen." he said finnally remembering his almost compleated work.

Leo thought for a second and then said "If it is that dangerous, I'll hold onto it in case we're in over our heads. I can't let a treasure like this just be destroyed, for I am a treasure hunter myself."

"Do what you will with it," shorn said sighing "but so help me, if I find out you used that thing in anything but self defence when no other options were avalabile, then i will personally drive your head through a wood chipper!"

"Woah shorn," Leo said, backing away. "Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? You know how responsible i can be."

"No," he said with a hand on his temple "I am sorry. That thing just has me on edge, lets change the subject now. So, have you managed to find out more about those mutants in the desert?"

"Sadly, no... But Didn't Solust say there was a place with a guy named berane who knows alot of things?" Leo inquired. "We should go there and look for information."

"Did he now?" Shorn said shaking his head "Hmm... my age must be catching up with me. But that seems like an excellent idea, you go on for a little without me. I am gonna finish up and pick up my paycheck, then catch up with you."

Sol stood up and walked briskly across the room, handing lily the cooked shroom bug as he passed her, then approached Leo with a somewhat arrogant swagger in his step. "I doubt you will be pleased with my answer, but it is a fair distance from here, away to the south west roughly three days journey" he said putting his hands on his hips and staring at the ground. "The place I am talking about is Holder town, built from the ruins of the pentagon, it is run by Brigands and Cutthroats, Murderers, Thieves, and Bandits. Last I was there, I met a man named Berane who knows about a great many things, if we are lucky he will still be there, and have the information you seek"
"No, shorn, This is too dangerous to go alone. I'm stayin' with you 'til you're done. Sorry if I seem like I'm forcing myself on you, but I'm scared. I remembered what solust said. That place is run by murderer's, thieves, and bandits. I'm strong, but I can't take on a whole town." And with that Leo leaned against the wall. "Just tell me when you're done with whatever it is that you're doing."

"Alright lad, I should be finished here in a moment." he said with industrial sized sparks flying past his head.
The robot whirred into life and began a slow track cleaning up the surrounding area. A gigantic lazer was attached to the top and slowly swivled about, apparently looking for something, but it sooned turned past the corner in silence.
Shorn lifted up one of his hands and it seemed like sand being blown in the wind, if there was any, and he turned back to Leo and said
"Alright, let's go then. The job isn't as high a quality as I would like, but it will do. So now where is it we will be going again?"

"Holder Town, Built from the ruins of the pentagon." Leo said. "It's three days to the southwest on foot. So, do you know any shortcuts to the place?" Leo inquired.
