[b]In the dead of night, the NCR Ranger Watcher traveled the war torn halls of the dojo, headed for the exit.
He had a bag, which was packed. It seemed he planned on leaving the dojo. But why? He trained many guards, and was in the middle of training more.
He stopped at the gates, and sighed to himself. He turned to the person following him [/b]
"You can come out now!"
[spoiler]Open! You followed him [/spoiler]

"That doesn't sound particularly legal. Tells you a lot about the law, doesn't it? I'm in, bit it'll cost you."
-
"What exactly would it cost me? Because you're volunteering. I didn't come to you and ask."
-
"I am desperately short on money."
-
"So how much?"
-
"How much are you willing to pay me?"
-
[b]He held up his hand, and pulled out a wallet. He pulled out nine intergalactic credits [/b] "This is all I got."
-
"Uh, how much is this worth in Earth money?"
-
"In dollars? Like 12."
-
"That is good for maybe ten minutes. I doubt that is what you were looking for, though. Just give me that money and some of your best gear and I'll help."
-
"Only gear I'm willing to give up us this" [b]He drew a rackety old. 357 revolver [/b]
-
"You train the dojo guard. Don't you have access to some armory?"
-
"Not for giving away."
-
"Would any of the guards that I might rescue have things to give?"
-
"If there are any to rescue, then possibly"
-
"Ok, just give me that gun and the money and I am in."
-
[b]He handed the money and gun over [/b]
-
"Great. So any idea were the guards might be?"
-
"Yeah, an island 25 or so miles to the east of here."
-
"Well then let's get going!"
-
"You wouldn't happen to have a ship, would you?"
-
"All I have is a small house, the clothes on my back, and a few guns."
-
"We'll have to steal one then!'
-
"Works with me. Where and who are we stealing from?"
-
"More like borrowing actually, from a man by the name of Captain Allister."
-
"So how much?"
