Big boy decides he needs answers and whatever dangers might lurk below, he can take it and more. He yanks the basement door off it's hinges and places it in front of himself like a shield. Nothing happens. He backs away from the opening and readies his weapon before approaching again. He walks down the stairs, barrels spinning ready to shoot.

What he sees confuses him. A ghoul woman stands empty handed in the middle of the room.

"Please greenskin leave me alone, please! The raiders already came along and took everything. They killed the men, captured the women, hell I'm surprised they didn't rip the nails out the floorboards. I doubt I taste very good after two hundred years of radiation so just please turn around a go back up those stairs".
