"I could see him measuring my trustworthiness on the fly. "The robots are the bad guys, right?" I continued, sweating out the moment every second he didn't lower his gun. "If I killed you here, you'd be the first raider I've shot down. I'm just trying to get home, same as you." I kept moving so he couldn't get a clean shot at me, but I remained hopeful it wouldn't come to that."
"Not a moment later, it was firing rockets his way, sending him to his knees, clutching to life with a backpack of rare who-knows-what. I could've let him die. Heck, I could've delivered the killing blow myself if I wanted to. But I made him a promise. I tossed a lure grenade over the ridge, buying us just enough time to dash--or crawl--into the elevator as the powerful drone took off for my distraction. The raider was bleeding out, but he would make it."
A survivor confronts a wary raider near an elevator, insisting he means no harm and admitting he has never killed a raider. The raider, anxious after betrayals and a hovering Rocketeer, points a Ferro rifle and summons the elevator. The Rocketeer detects the raider and opens fire, gravely wounding him. The survivor honors a promise, tosses a lure grenade to distract the drone, and helps the wounded raider reach the elevator. Both enter the elevator injured but alive, carrying wounds and loot as they head toward the saferoom Speranza.
