Correct, Jay. Also, if anyone needs help, please stop by my office in lesser Prax, I am highly educated doctor, and I like to help people. I will also accompany you on trips, and I am a part time combatant. My son is also an O.K. engineer, and will fix any damaged weapon for a small fee of scrap metal.

Momawk Nayon

Lesser Prax’s streets.

Momawks boy had already learned most of his skills with the knife before the sun went down on the Seran evening. The streets had been cleared, and only a few Locust could be seen wandering around the sleepy part of Prax, where Momawk’s house and office was located. Usually, no one talked at night, but mostly kept to themselves, out of respect for their sleeping neighbors. It had been 4 days, to be exact, since Momawk left Prax in search for supplies, and he needed to rest.

Momawk Nayon

Momawk’s Shack, Prax

In Momawk’s small house in lesser Prax, he and his son slept in the same room. Harugak, however, was not sleeping. Harugak stayed up a majority of the night, staring out the window, and, quietly as possible, re-constructing the Hammerburst. He liked pre-incident weapons, how they felt, fired, and how they sounded. He had never used a Hammerburst though, and he was determined to fix it, and prove to his father that he could complete such a task. Harugak stayed up most of the night to send his father to work as well. His father is the town doctor, and most people count on him to treat any illness or injury they or someone they know has suffered. Harugak knew many medical skills as well, and even acted as his assistant when he was working. Harugak waited until the sun just peaked over the horizon line until he shook his father awake.

Momawk opened his eyes, smiled, slid out of the bed, then out the door. Momawk returned after several moments and turned on his sink. He washed his hands with the gutter water collected from an earlier rain storm, and then paused to see the Hammerburst on the table, fully assembled, magzine inserted. Momawk turned back to see a smiling Harugak. “We will test it when we get back. But for now you should stay and sleep. Remember, you’re not going to miss anything while you’re asleep. Does anything usually happen around here?” Momawk said, setting down the heavy weapon. “I will be home before you know it.” Momawk said as he donned his usual doctor’s robe. He moved to the door, saluted Harugak, and left.
