Welcome to Gaia! ::

"guns defenatly guns...thought those pistols you have won't have the kind o range I'm looking for...have you every used a assult rifle before?" He asked again. He reached back and pulled his assult rifle, ((as seen in picture)). "if not have you every driven before"

"alright then...I ask again have you driven before?" He asked, he looked back, he could just make out a outline of someone on a bike, Altair knew who it was. "never mind you'll learn quickly, just keep going stright and at a constent speed, if I fall off don't come back and get me, you hear gunshots wait five minutes before coming back and checking" He said, he slung the rifle over his back and opened the hatch" take the wheel" he said and climbed out of the veichile and stood on the roof, with his foot he kicked the hatch close and took the assult rifle off his back, he planted his feet, took the assult rifle off his back and aimed and fired in semi automic(you know what that is right?), he could see tinny poofs of sand being kicked up and the rounds missed and hit the sand near the biker. least I know I have the range He thought and kept firing.

The guy on the bike was getting closer now and pulled out a small handheld machine gun and began firing back Altair dropped to the roof, he was hit in the shoulder, nothing serious but it hurt. gotta be more careful he thought, he slung the rifle onto his back and pulled out one of his revolvers, he fired two rounds, the sprays missed and kicked up sand, Altair grabbed onto a peaice of the frame that stuck hadn't been covered and braced to hit the dip.

"i'll live" he called down to her, he fired two more rounds of spray at the guy, he missed the guy but one of the tires had been hit by one of the spray rounds, the guy woobled abit trying to keep control of his bike and in his haste had dropped his gun. Altair stood and backed up to the edge. I pray to thy lord...let me live... he took a step and jumped off the roff and slammed into the guy, taking them both the the ground, Altair rolled and recovered, the guy got to his feet, and whiped out a knife, and held it, they circled, Altair had one shot left in the revolver, which lay on the ground a few feet to his left, next to the guys machine pistol. The man lunged at Altair, Altair rolled off to the side, scopped up both guns and pulled the triggers on both guns, the shotgun spray hit the man, breaking throught the helmet he wore and kept going killing him, the machine pistol rounds, hit his body, which twitched spasmaticly, the clips emptied the man's body dropped, blood soaked the sands underneath the body, Altair searched the man's body, taking the knife and two clips of pistol ammo, he checked the bike, other then the popped tire, it would still run, just needed abit of attention. Altair waited for Gretchen to come back.

"yeah...just a flesh wound" he said, he walked the bike over to the back of his dune buggy and hoisted the bike onto the back, from underneath the dune buggy he took some chain and tied down the bike, "still works, it would be a waste to just leave it here" he hsaid, looking over at her, he walked back picked up his revolver and the pistol, he holistered the revolver and hung onto the pistol, he walked a few feet back and picked up something out of the sand, his hat, he shook it and dusted it off, then seeming satasfied he could wear it, he put it on then got into the dunebuggy. he reahced back and took out a small first aid kit, it was battered and the paint looked like it had been sand blasted off. he took out a roll of bandages and wrapped himself up. I'll have to clean the wound and take out the bullet back at base he thought.

"Actually it's my...eighth...I killed some guys who were harassing a young lady" Altair said. He moved over to the passenger seat, "keep driving stright and when you see a large crashed ship let me know" he said, he started the dunebuggy, and tilted his hat to cover his eyes.

altair stired and opened his eyes, and lifted his hat "yeah that's it...I'm gonna need to steer, it get's a little tricky here" he said, he put his hands on the sterring wheel"just keep your foot down on the gas" he said.
