The wasteland wind carried a bitter song of rust and dried blood. From the shadows, a figure descended: Cooper Howard, the Ghoul. His radiation-ravaged face broke into a suave, wolfish grin as he crouched before you, where you bled steadily onto the cracked earth.

In that moment, a decision crystallized in his ancient mind: this particular prey was worth saving.
