On our journey to the vault, we first encountered 10 slavers, which I quickly mopped up with Purge before we then ca across a band of 14 poorly equipped super mutants later on that I also gunned down in less than 30 seconds. After our encounters with those two groups of hostiles, the convoy started nearing our destination but as we were coming into the general vicinity of Vault 101 a pair of Albino Radscorpions greeted us so I had the robots quickly reduce them to nothing but a scorch mark on the deteriorating broken asphalt road.
I think once I'm able to start producing my own at via the farming of cattle, chickens, and pigs, I might want to try my hand at taming a few of them... I could also see if I can't gigantasize them as well. I an the Radscorpion Queen is a thing after all, so why wouldn't I be able to produce my own if not one even larger.
However, even if I couldn't accomplish that, as long as I successfully ta so of them, I should be able to turn them into a pretty useful asset. They do possess an inherent natural regeneration, thick natural armor, multiple sets of eyes, claws, and venomous stingers, all of which are very useful traits for combat and will probably all improve as they grow in size. Combine that with armoring them up and mounting ranged weaponry upon their carapaces' like turrets, for instance that I would have full control over thanks to chu-deru.
All that combined would essentially turn them into biological tanks slash mobile weapon platforms. Despite how cool all that sounds, it'll all be worthless if I'm unable to increase their species' intelligence to at least the level of a smart dog. And even that won't be all that useful without extensive training being implented... If all else fails, I could take a look at the tech the Enclave uses to control the deathclaws. That might present a possible solution if I'm unable to ta them.
Following my thoughts regarding the creation of living bioweapons, we arrived in front of the vault's cave entrance within an hour and a half, faster than our usual ti by 30 minutes.
"Looks like we made good ti." I thought aloud once we made it to the gargantuan vault door.
"Yeah, we really did arrive here a lot sooner compared to the last trip. Even the enemies we encountered on the way here couldn't slow us down by much." Amata comnted with her breath sounding slightly hurried because of us moving at a constant speed of over 20 miles per hour for the majority of the journey.
"You're very right, boss's miss." Hauler added.
Hopping on the ground penetrating radio, with Amata's dad Alphonse I inford him of our arrival so he could send the order up to let us in.
"Once the door is open, let's make our way inside and grab lunch with your dad, since he's available today."
"Oh, I didn't expect dad to have ti today. I thought he was going to be busy with this week's etings with the elder council." My companion replied, with her breathing under control and clearly happy to hear that we'll be able to eat with her father.
"I guess he was able to make ti for us." I comnted lastly as the vault door began its process of opening up.
Grrrnnnddd
Less than a minute later, the vault door rolled off to the side of the vault's interior and settled into the open position. So with the humongous blast door no longer impeding our path, we stepped forward and greeted the vault security uncles before venturing further in to go et up with Amata's dad for lunch. While we were on the way to have an actual al, my robots scurried along and navigated the vault's extensive network of hallways and began ferrying stuff to the cave entrance.
It took us a bit, but we eventually reached the overseer's office and when we did, Amata hugged her father while I greeted him from the side. The three of us then departed from his office into the gray vault hallways to get so much needed sustenance. From there, we spent around an hour with her dad eating and generally making small talk and right around the ti we wrapped things up, my robots finished things on their end. Thus, we said our farewells and climbed back up to the vault entrance, where my robots were ready and waiting.
The instant we reached my chanical n, we double checked our gear and set out into the wasteland, heading for our ho away from ho. On our return journey, we stumbled across a swarm of 34 bloatflies which I rapidly annihilated in no more than a minute.
The next thing we encountered on our way was a traveling scavenger who just about shit his pants when he noticed us. Slling potential benefits in the air, I raced after the poor guy before he could make his grand escape and easily caught up to him, stopping him in his tracks to ask if he had anything to trade.
He was scared shitless initially, but that didn't last long when he found out that I ant him no harm and was simply looking to see what sort of goods he had available. So, with his safety sowhat assured, we got right to trading. A short few monts later, he showed what he had to offer and of the items he had only a single piece was of interest to , a Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual.
Seeing show interest in an item, we started our bartering and before long I got him to take 5 MFC Grenades for the skill book, which was a phenonal deal for since they barely cost anything to produce.
With our transaction completed, I wished the man good luck in his travels, rejoined my group, and continued on down the road, heading in the direction of our other ho. From there, we traveled the rest of the way to our destination without encountering anything else of note. The minute we finally arrived back at base, we went right in, since I already had the massive blast door set in the open position for us. Back in the safety of the facility, I assisted chanical forces in unloading all the loot we brought back with us from the vault.
A short while later, we had everything organized and put away, so we all returned to the loading area, but not before I restocked my MFC Grenades. Once I was restocked, Amata and I rejoined the robots and headed back out into the wasteland to the vault for our second and final trip of the day.
On our way there, we encountered a group of raiders, numbering 8 in total, that were almost instantly dispatched by . Subsequently after that, we surprisingly t a pack of 3 Yao Guai that I had Amata use as target practice to work on her aim. Nevertheless, I made sure to tell her to try her best to not kill them since I still needed the exp.
Whilst she was using the three of them for target practice, they began charging in our direction due to Amata shooting her AER 29 LMG at them, and after a short amount of ti had passed, they began to approach us. So before they could get close enough to deal damage, I lit them up with Purge, filling them with smoldering holes and killing them off within several seconds of pulling the trigger.
The rest of our ti traveling to the vault was mostly uneventful, at least that was the case up until we had a run in with a roaming group of giant ants that consisted of 20 workers and 5 soldiers. Luckily for us, they were pretty much a nonexistent threat to our combined forces, thus my robots dust them by lighting them up with a cacophony of laser fire.
From there we made it to the vault where we got loaded up again, and as soon as we were ready, we proceeded into the wasteland again, heading ho. On the way back we ca across a wandering pack of 7 Giant Radscorpions that were accompanied by 23 Radscorpions and a group of well-equipped super mutants that was composed of 5 regular Super Mutants, 3 Super Mutant Brutes, 2 Super Mutant Masters, and even a Super Mutant Overlord that my robots and I slaughtered ruthlessly and efficiently.
"Phew, we made it just as it began to turn dark." I comnted the mont the massive blast door shut behind us.
"Y-yeah, we were cutting it q-quite close this ti, closer than the l-last." Amata agreed as she was attempting to catch her breath.
...
"Well, now that we're ho, let's go upstairs to our room and get out of our armor before we grab a bit of dinner. Sound good?" I suggested, after waiting a few minutes for her to catch her breath.
"Sounds like a plan." Amata responded happily.
Following that brief conversation of ours, we walked to the elevator and rode it upstairs to our room with a newly redone bathroom that Amata was over the moon about. And that was without any water running. I can only imagine how pleased she'll be once water production is brought online.
A while later, as I was ready and waiting for Amata to finish getting ready to head downstairs to get so dinner, I used chu-deru and checked up on my robots to see how they were all doing. What I discovered a few short seconds in was that not even a single issue has occurred while we were away and that they were progressing very well in their assigned tasks.
So, not finding anything needing my attention or direct involvent, I let them continue doing their thing while I took over the robots and turrets that ca off the production line while I was gone for the day. After I was done binding them to my will, I waited an additional 15 minutes before Amata strolled out. Leaving for the elevator, we went downstairs and grabbed so grub.
Sharing a al in the improvised dining area, we finished the al rather fast and turned in for the night soon thereafter. Laying in bed with Amata sleeping cuddled up next to , I used one of my many thought processes to see how the Hill brothers made out today.
Mm, they did decently well for their first ti and helped wherever they could, not bad.
Satisfied with today's progress, I shut my eyes and was eventually whisked away into the land of dreams.
