All the others began to startle as Milo pulled out his revolvers and began to tinker with them. He checked the chambers, as he does does frequently, to make sure he's ready to go should something happen.
It seemed at this time everybody was going thier seperate ways.

Milo agian found himself wondering why. "Where am I even going?" he thought to himself. "What the..?!" he jerked his leg side to side as a baby radroach fell from his ankle. As small as it was Milo could have easily curbstomped it to it's death, but he didn't have the heart to do it. It was just a baby, a roach yes, but a baby. "If I was killing for food or defence," he thought out loud "that's one thing, but to kill just to see death is clearly another. It probably has somehwere to be. Somehwere to belong. Jeeze, I dont know if I can remember the last time I had somewhere to belong."

[Flashback]

"Hey Mighlow!" Thomas screamed across the feild. "Look at this!" Milo approached he saw a dip in the ground and in it lied a bunch of baby radroaches. "Wow!" Milo lied. "Get a load of that one there! It's red!"
"A red one?!" gasped Thomas. "Where? I don't see it."
"Right there!" Milo pointed out, "lean in a little bit closer." Milo stepped in behiend Thomas as he lightly & jokingly pushed him toward the dip as if he were to actually shove him in.
"WOAH!" Thomas belted while gasping for air. Milo threw his head back and laughed hysterically. "You jerk! You know how much I hate touching bugs! Aww I just feel like they're crawling on me when I talk about it. Milo continued to laugh as a baby radroach was crawling from between some rocks and made a clearing for the dip. Thomas raised his led to try to kill it.
"NO!" Milo screamed, "Don't kill it!"
"Why?" inquired thomas, "when that thing gets bigger it could tear our flesh off."
"Yeah I know," Milo explained, "to kill your enemy is one thing, but to kill your enemies children is another."

Milo heard something faint behiend him, snapped out of his daydream, pulled out his right revolver, and turned around in one swift movement. It was a person but not even close enough to be much a threat even it they were a hostile. The person was walking directly toward Milo as if he had a reason to be. "Hey!" shouted Milo. The person never responded so Milo decided to wait.

Orion had just left Corrotto's manner about 20 minutes ago, for the time being he was wondering around town. Currently Corrotto didn't have any work for him. "Guess he has to see how events unfold before he can give mee another mission." Orion thought to himself. He looked down the road he was walking on to see the small and unique figure that had to be Milo.

Orion had seen Milo from a fairly good distance away, he was however unaware that Milo had hearing that was good enough to hear him approaching on dust.

Milo turned and shouted "Hey!", he decided that there was no reason to shout back. He continued to walk toward Millo, only when he was closer did he speak.

"Milo was it? What are you doing in the middle of the street?"

As the man began to close distance I began to recognize him from just earlier. It was the odd man with the crossbow. "Milo was it? What are you doing in the middle of the street?" he inquired. "

"The man seems much more relaxed than he was earlier." Milo thought
to himself.

"Well," explained Milo, "When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing -- then we truly live. Since I was 13 i've been wandering the wasteleands, going from one place to another, to find some place to really help out." Milo paused and let out a mournful sigh. "Well. I still have not found a place that I can be of good use. I suppose here is just another pit stop. What are you doing way out here, uh... I never caught your name."

Orion stood silently as the apparently smaller version of himself gave him way more information than he was asking for.

"While that's all well and good, standing here in the middle of the road isn't exactly the best thing to do, even when there isn't anyone else around." Orion looked around and saw that there was nobody around them, which wasn't unusual but there was nobody. "That's right, I heard that there was a caravan coming into town, guess I should see what that's all about."

"Speaking of which, that could be because of that caravan I heard about. I think I'm gonna head on over there." Orion turned to leave. "You can come with me or not." Orion took a couple steps and said over his shoulder. "Orion... my name's Orion."

"Orion..." Milo thought out loud. "Orion like the star constellation?" Orion lightly gave an affermative gesture and continued walking as Milo ran to catch up with him. "I remember him saying that he didn't tell anybody his name because they didn't need to know his name," Milo thought to himself. "Do I need to know his name?"

Milo followed Orion with a slight sense of awkardness and mystery. "Is this my chance to be something?"
