The wind blew as the fierce sandstorm raged around a male figure covered in brown clothes, everything from his head to his feet were covered protecting him from the elements, the heat. and allowing him to blend in with the color of the sand. A pair of black goggle covered his eyes.
The goggles lens changed from there normal black color to a blue shade. The right lens scanning the surrounding area. While the left lens showing the information to me. "Can't believe I got lost." He said softly as he continued on his way. 'Great move get yourself lose when your running low on supplies.'

Lance was scavenging for parts, food, and anything they could trade for such things. He had a pair of goggles that he used to shield his eyes from the sand. A button on the side He had a scanner in his pocket. This allowed him to see if a part worked before he took it with him. This alone saved him a lot of time. He was trying to gather enough parts to recreate the diagrams he'd found for a food synthesizer. He couldn't go back with nothing, everyone was counting on him. Though once he'd done his job they ignored him like always.

On a ridge behind Lance stood the man in brown. His goggles still blue allowing him to scan him before changing to a yellow tint, which allow him to zoom in and see what Lance was doing on the ground. The lens changed back to their normal black color, before he could stand and start heading down to speak with Lance they switched to red. He stopped and looked back to Lance.
It was then he noticed a group of Cogs headed for the young man. Sighing he pulled out a Smith & Wesson AS-3. Changing the goggles back to yellow he moved into position before aiming the gun and firing. 'Going to be loud, but should give him the heads up to move.' he thought. 'And as long as i get them all, they're should be any others coming, least i hope not. Running low on ammo.'

A scout Cog jumped over the ridge and attacked Lance, catching him off guard. It threw him to the ground while the others showed up. Lance wormed his way out. He could tell that the fact they hadn't immediately killed him meant they were under orders to capture any free humans. Just as Cog swinged something happened. Lance moved away from the strike and countered, knocking it back. The confusion of this wore off and they all swarmed him. Strike after strike it was the same. When they lashed out, Lance made it so he wasn't where they aimed anymore and struck back. He was a blur of punches and kicks. He managed to hold them off, but wasn't gaining any advantages either. He was only one person after all...

After what seemed like an hour the Cogs were defeated. Leaving Lance showed and confused about where they had come from or what had shoot at them. "It's dangerous to be out here without a weapon you know." he said as he jumped the last few feet. He still had the gun in his hand.

Lance watched the newcomer warily. After he was sure the guy wasn't an immediate threat, he said "Thanks" and started salvaging parts from the defeated cogs. He pulled enough parts that he could finish the food synthesizer. That'd definitely be good new for the little ones. He wiped his forehead in exhaustion and stood back up.

"You might have had better luck if you had searched a dump instead of the farm." He said as he took the bag that was on his back before stuffing the large weapon into it, before zipping it closed. "Handed yourself very well without one thou didn't you."

Lance shrugged and replied, "Have to learn to defend yourself out here. And as for searching elsewhere. Well that's not really an option for me. I have to stay close to the camp in case of an emergency." He stretched his neck out, it being stiff after inspecting equipment all afternoon.

"You don't have a defense system?" He asked. "How far is it?" he added looking around a bit before looking back at him.

Lance shook his head as answer. "No, we don't. And it's not too far. Would you like to join me? You must be low on water as it is." he said and asked. It was the least he could do for the man after he'd helped him

"Oh old are the people in your group?" He asked. "Yeah i am, got lost and don't have enough to make it to my base."

Lance thought a bit and answered him "Mainly we have children and people in their thirties or over. They have to stay behind and take care of the camp and the kids." he explained and led the way back to camp. About twenty minutes later they arrived.
A little girl of about six years old ran up to him and said, "Lance! Did you find anything for me?" Lance smiled and said "Well now that you mention it.." and with a flourish he pulled a stuffed bunny from his satchel. The little girl giggled in delight and told him 'thank you' and ran to enjoy her new bunny. "Kid's like her, shouldn't have to know this kind of life. It's not fair to them..." he said, upset at all that'd happened.
Lance made a few stops to drop off things he'd found that others needed. Finally he reached a little hunt in the back of the camp. "Well, here we are. Home sweet home." he said, chuckling a little.

"Not very safe to have your camp above ground. But people have to make do." He said as he took off the goggles then the mask protecting his face. He sighed as he stuffed both items in his pocket. He had short brown hair and dark brown eyes. "How long have you been living in this area?" he asked looking around Lance's Hut.

Lance thought about it before he answered. "Hmm...about a month. We're actually due to move camp here pretty soon.." He realized as he thought about it. "Hey the water pumps just out back. Fill up while i finish this thing" he said as he started connecting the salvaged parts to the near complete food synthesizer. Once he was finished it should work.

"I'll get it in a moment." He answered. "Lets see theirs a dump around here thats protect. My base is a bit far from here. But if we travel at night we would make it in a few days. After which point you wouldn't have to worry about moving again. We're underground, and are protect with a shield that makes us invisible to the enemy."
