Selma is seen walking in a dirty area, she is outside a tent holding a a duffle bag.

She is wearing a brown uniform to match her dirty surrounding. Behind her in the distance is the wall keeping the civilized world from the remnant. The wall is not made up of brick or any rock instead it is these spire like shaped pillars. The Remnant appears to be like it was bombed out resulting just a dirt covered area with no trees in sight. or any color as a matter fact. Just different shades of brown and black.

Selma’s hair is beginning to grow back but it still looks like a buzz cut. Her brown uniform is reminiscent of a clean WW1 doughboy uniform. She is not wearing a helmet. She doesn’t get her helmet until later. The scar on the back of her head has fully healed, it just looks like a thin line.

Selma just stands outside of the tent with a bag looking nervous.

A woman comes out of the tent, her name tag on her left breast pocket reads Bethany, she is wearing a uniform like Selma but her uniform is dirty and covered in burn marks on her right sleeve. Her boots are filthy. She is a brown haired woman that has shoulder length straight hair that she ties in a bun.

Bethany- So you’re Walsh.

Selma- Yes Ma’am, I’m Selma Walsh.

Bethany- Hmm…I didn’t expect another negro to be assigned to us. Well I don’t care what you are, I am Sergeant Bethany and for now on you will think of me as your shield and you will fill the role as the sword.

Selma looks a bit nervous.

Bethany- Welcome to the crusaders.

Bethany reaches out to shake Selma’s hand to reveal that Bethany’s hand is horrible burned.

Selma- Thank you Ma’am.

Bethany- You don’t have to be calling me ma’am all the time but it is flattering. From how I see it, you are the same as everybody here.

Bethany looks down to see her hand.

Bethany- Your one of the beautiful ones Walsh!

Selma- Beautiful ones? What are you talking about Ma’am.

Bethany- Your finger! You’re a married woman.

Bethany looks up to look at Selma’s face.

Bethany- Stay right here.

Bethany leaves into the tent. Selma is no longer nervous but is confused. Bethany comes back with a pair of gloves.

Bethany- Here wear these. Don’t let any of the other girls catch you without them.

She hands Selma the gloves.

Selma- Thank you Ma’am but why? What will happen if they see my finger?

Bethany- They’ll cut it off.

Selma- You're joking right?

Bethany- I wish. Many of the people here don’t like Beautiful Ones because in some delusion they believe that people like you, took their chances away at being married and now their unhappily stuck here. So put these on.

Selma- Thank you.

Bethany and Selma enter the tent.

The tent is relatively big with enough space to fit 4 bunks and a table in the middle. On one of the bunks is a woman.

Bethany leads Selma to the bunk that is next to woman. The woman has a tag that reads Lewis. She is a woman that looks like she is underfed. she has straight blonde hair that passes her shoulders but just by a little bit. She has her hair down. Lewis has some pretty thick eyebrows that are a darker shade of blonde. The uniform she is wearing has a hole around her right elbow and she has a scar on her right cheek. The uniform is also considerable dirty.

Bethany- This is where you will be sleeping. So unload all your belongings because we are going to go do some fire drills out in the range.

Selma- Ok ma’am.

Bethany- I told you that you don’t have to call me that.

Selma puts her duffle bag next to her bunk. She looks over to lewis sitting on the bed. She is reading a book named “ Yes. Im Ready”. Selma speaks to the woman.

Selma- Hello, I am Selma.

Lewis doesn’t say anything, instead she looks up from reading and goes immediately back to reading.

Bethany- Don’t pay no attention to her, she’s a shy type. Aren’t you Blue?

Bethany walks passes Blue’s bunk and kicks the one of the legs of her bunk to scare Blue. Blue doesn’t say anything instead she just puts her book down and gets up.

Bethany- Ok… Let’s go enjoy another beautiful, sunny day in the shit.

Bethany, Blue and Selma go walking through the outpost. She see’s the draftees on the way to the firing range.

Woman with glasses and black hair- Yo Bishop. Your my witness, check it out I can hit the 300 yd mark, right on its fucking head.

The woman has a name tag that reads Orbison. She has a short black bushy hair and circular glasses on with a crack on the left lens. She has a mole on her left side of her mouth. She has a fair complex with light blue eyes. Her boots are covered in mud and instead of wearing her coat, she is just wearing a white shirt that is tucked in her pants. Her knuckles are scared up and her hands dirty with dirt underneath her nails. She has a similar scar on her cheek like Blue.

She shoots with her rifle. and hits a dummy out in the distance.

(Side Note: her rifle is just like the one used in the standoff in the apartment all bolt-action rifles.)

On the butt on her rifle she carved out, “For Adam”.

(Side Note: For now on I am going to write Bishop instead of Bethany)

Bishop- That’s good Lynch, reallyyyy good. Now do you think you can hit something that’s moving?

Lynch- Come on, if that was someone, their head would’ve been just pink mist.

Bishop, Blue, And Selma get a little closer to the firing range. Lynch glares at Blue but blue is just looking down on her feet.

Lynch- Where were you beauty? Directed at Blue.

Blue doesn’t acknowledge but instead Bishop just looks at her with a disapproving face.

There is a black woman next to Lynch, She was distracted with firing her gun.

On her name tag it reads Wells. She is a black woman who is taller than Lynch by a whole head. She has thin eyebrows and traditionally big lips. She has a scar running across her nose. She has the traditional 50’s wife haircut despite her having curly hair, she probably irons it until it's dead.

Her uniform coat’s left sleeve is covered in dry blood. Her uniform coat is unbuttoned exposing a white shirts. She has tears in her pant knees, that she patched over with random other fabrics. Unlike Lynch, She has has a bayonet on her rifle.

Wells- What’s up Bishop… so this is the new girl.

Lynch- I didn’t even noticed you…

Lynch scans Selma

Lynch- Walsh.

Bishop- I don’t want you two fucking with her.

Lynch- How can you say that about us Bishop, the only reason why me and Motown mess with that one over there (Directed at blue) is because she’s a beautiful one!

Selma looks over to Blue with a sense of sadness.

(Sidenote: I am going to write Motown instead of Wells.

Motown- Speak for yourself, Lynch, I don’t bother that poor girl. Either way, I’m more curious about this new negress we have the pleasure of meeting. So Ms. Walsh-

Selma takes a second to react.

Lynch- Don’t call her a negress, you’ll offend her.

Bishop- There’s no reason to call her that Motown… just because she is negro doesn’t mean that’s all she is.

Motown- What you two are saying is more offensive than what I am saying. It’s not like I called her a nigger.

Selma- I am not offended, its ok.

Lynch- Shut up Walsh, this is about principle!

Motown- Principle my ass! I can’t speak to my people like that.

Lynch- Your people? What are those people exactly Motown? Niggers!

Motown- So now it comes out, huh. You just wanted an excuse to say that word, you self-righteous-

A woman with a hat emerges from the end of the row and begins sporadically starts shooting at everyone’s feet with an automatic gun unlike everyone’s bolt action.

This woman name tag reads Immer. She has short brown hair and a long neck. Her uniform is pristine.

She has these deep brown eyes and skinny facial features. She has bangs that cover her big ass forehead.

She stops shooting and softly says.

Immer- Everyone shut the fuck up.

Lynch & Motown- We apologize Queen.

Bishop- Queen, please accept their apology. It was just a debate between color.

Queen ignores Bishop.

Queen- So… you’re the new gun? (Directed at Selma)

Selma- Yes.

Queen- Yes, what?

Selma- Yes, Captain Immer.

Queen’s demeanor changes to angry in an uncomfortable speed.

Queen- No!

Queen punches Selma on the Jaw.

Selma reacts to the punch but does nothing about it.

Queen- Now… Yes what?

Selma- Yes, Captain Immer!

Selma shouts out, everyone else just looks at her like they know what is going to happen to her.

Queen- Wrong!

Queen swings at Selma and with a solid punch she knocks down Selma. She stand over Selma looking down at her.

Queen- I am only going to say this once, next time you get this wrong… I’ll cut a piece of your face. I don’t want to hear you utter my name ever again! You will address me as Queen, got it?!

Selma- Yes Queen! Sorry Queen!

Queen punches Selma one more time while she is down.

Queen- Get on your fucking feet, your embarrassing me.

Selma gets up and Queen intensely stares at Selma.

Queen- Are you Prejudice Walsh?

Selma- No Queen.

Queen- Not even a little bit. I don’t fucking believe you! My skin doesn’t make you hate me!

Selma- No Queen, Not one bit Queen.

Queen- Bullshit Walsh! You want to call me a cracker, a honky don’t you Walsh!

Selma looks shocked.

Queen- Go ahead call me something. Im fucking waiting Walsh!

Everybody looks tense

Selma- Cra-

Queen swings again at Selma and knocks her down and kicks her while she is down.

Bishop- Please Queen, she has learned her lesson.

Queen looks at Bishop with angry eyes but they eventually soften up.

Queen- Good job Walsh, now I know you can follow my fucking orders, get the fuck up Walsh before I kick your black ass again.

Selma stands up.

Queen- Now the rest of you! I don’t hold any prejudice against crackers, niggers, spics, or sheep-fuckers. We all came here to die and when that time comes we will bleed the same color. Death is not prejudice, Death is what makes all of us equal. So stop fucking arguing about your pigment before I assign you dumb asses on an expedition deep in no man’s land… there you can get a real taste true equality.

Queen scans all the women there.

Queen- That’s what I like… my knights being obedient. Go back to how you were.

Queen walks back to her shooting practice. Selma has a bloody nose notices that there is a blood stain on her uniform.

Motown elbows Lynch on her side.

Motown and Lynch argue silently.

Motown- See what you did?

Lynch- What I did?

Motown- Yes what you did.

Bishop walks over to Selma with a rifle. She hand the rifle to Selma.

Bishop- Here’s your new boyfriend… Just don’t put the barrel in your you-know-what.

Selma-…

She looks down at her rifle and drips blood from her nose on the wooden stock.
