Rounding a bend in the pipe you see a slightly smaller than average pig (which is still pretty big) slumped across the width of it with water starting to build up behind it. Its head is slumped on top of the prone figure of a small female Brain Waster in baggy jeans and an over-large leather jacket. She's sobbing slightly and trying to move the large, heavy head from off her legs, a task made more difficult by the fact that the head is impaled on an old looking Vibro Sabre. She doesn't seem to have noticed you.

She doesn't appear to. She doesn't look very SLA. Her clothes are quite worn and grubby and she doesn't look old enough to be an Op.

She looks startled.
Waster wrote:Holy shit, you're a Stormer aren't you? Yeah. Damn this fucking thing's heavy. Shit, it hurts.

Assuming you've lifted the pig off her.
Waster wrote:Just hidin' out. I gotta try and keep a low profile. Folk in Downtown aren't too friendly when you're different. You guys gotta know that. Especially when you ain't got a big gun to break the ice. You guys Ops huh? Don't think I ever met an Op before. 'Side from the folks that is.

Yeah might as well...
Eraser will pull out the vibroblade and use it to slice some of the meat off the pig and chow down.

She watches you eat the raw pork with morbid fascination.
Waster wrote:Nah, I don't wanna work for the man. Ma 'n Pa did that one. All fucked up. 'Sides, I'm doin' fine down here. DarkNight tried to pick me up once or twice, but I'm not that dumb. Still, I ain't got nothin' against you guys, and I sure do appreciate you pulling that porker off me. Usually I do a pretty good job of keeping outta their way, but that fucker got the drop on me. Good job it was stupid enough to run onto the ol' VB. Umm, say, couldja pass that back?

Era wrote:Nah, I usually live topside. I only come down here when some asshole's giving me trouble up there. This close to CS1 they're all shit scared of what's down here, but I ain't never seen a Manchine and the Carriens are too slow to get me. Still, I like to tell the odd tall story. Don't want everyone following me down here now do I? How 'bout you? Not just out for a stroll I suppose.
This has actually just reminded me of my last squad. The Stormer with them picked up some street urchin too. Tried to file for adoption. The bureaucrats were so freaked out I think they might have granted it.

It's a fairly well used DPB model, last year's by the looks of it.
Era wrote:Dammit. Don't know where I'll find another one. Might have to go butter up the gangers for a recharger.
Well anyway, thanks again for the pig. I'd best get moving or I'll have Carriens all over my ass when you guys leave. If you're around here again look me up, I usually know what's going down. Might be able to return the favour.

With that she slinks off down the tunnel in the direction you came from, giving you a wink before she disappears. She seems pretty stealthy.
