Departing from the dining hall for my personal workshop, my many thought processes were hard at work trying to co up with sothing that could make use of these two hours I found myself with. I knew it was only a matter of ti before I ca up with sothing, so I left it up to them and continued progressing towards my workshop with Amata holding my hand and not long into our journey through the facility; I had a few ideas co to .
After brainstorming for a bit, I think I'll work on upgrades for the automated robot manufacturing machines and focus on increasing their daily production capacity so my plans and other objectives can be carried out even faster than they already are.
I'm also going to be going up against the Enclave, the Brotherhood Outcasts, nearly the entirety of the super mutant population, and the many raider bands spread across the capital wasteland… And possibly the Brotherhood of Steel if peaceful diplomatic efforts fail. Therefore, pumping out as many robots as I possibly can is going to remain a top priority, so I can take on these powerful factions.
And that's only taking into account what's here in the Capital Wasteland and not elsewhere, like the Institute to my north in the Commonwealth and Ishmael Ashur with his army of raiders to the northwest in The Pitt forrly known as Pittsburgh. Alongside those sizable foes, I'll have even bigger fish to fry out west like the NCR and the Legion. There are also a plethora of other unknown powers and forces making their moves across the continent, but I'm not even going to get started on them.
So, having covered all that, I'll be needing one hell of an army if I wish to accomplish my goals within the next several years or at all. Therefore, upping my robot production is going to remain on my priority list... At least until I've carved out and established my own territory and have dealt with the Zetan threat above.
Those future worries aside, making those upgrades shouldn't take that long to draw out since I've already been planning things and coming up with ideas in my head for a decent while now. Hence, I'm going to design the machinery I'll require to produce the Enclave's force field generator tech. And if I have enough ti available, I'll do the planning for a dedicated research and developnt facility for Michael and the converted Enclave scientists, so they can begin putting their talents to use.
Although, not fully, since I still need to raid and loot several different kinds of research and science labs to obtain the necessary specialized tools and equipnt to bring it up to what I would consider an acceptable level. However, there aren't too many locations that et those sorts of qualifications other than Raven Rock and the vaults, most of which have been compromised. aning if I want to stock the lab with a whole assortnt of state-of-the-art equipnt and have it actually produce sothing worthwhile, my sights will have to be set beyond the D.C. area.
Maybe I should pay a trip to Boston... Mm, do I really want to go poking around the Institute's territory just yet when my hands are already full enough with what I have to deal with here, probably not.
I guess I could look in the areas surrounding the capital wasteland that weren't covered in the ga if I don't want to travel that far… Hmm, on second thought, those compromised vaults may not be that worthless after all, seeing how I possess a perk that can repair and revert things to how they once were. Yeah, that sounds like it might be a viable idea, so I'll just try my luck there before I pursue any other solutions.

Sweet, I got a new quest with so pretty hefty rewards to boot.
Delighted to have gotten yet another quest, especially one that would provide with not one but two whole perks, I continued walking hand in hand with Amata through the network of halls. Walking at a relaxed pace, the two of us eventually stepped onto the elevator and began riding it down to the ground floor, but before we could reach the desired level, I had another thought occur to .
Now that I'm actually going to return all the gear I've temporarily taken a hold of from these recently recruited n it doesn't exactly sound like such a bright idea to be giving them the tools to revolt with lethal force at any ti they wish without putting any sort of counterasure or failsafe in place. aning sothing has to be done before I give them their stuff back... Oh, I know what I can do. I'll just use chu-deru to take control of their power armor fras.
Doing that will grant full control over their suits, which would allow to minimize any problems that may occur if any of them decide to try anything. Although, I highly doubt they will if the cheerful reception in the dining hall is anything to go by. Nevertheless, it hasn't been long since I quote unquote recruited them, thus it would be in my best interest to have a thod in my back pocket that I could use to stop and prevent any would-be troublemakers from causing any major issues.
Planning on implenting a safety asure that I could use to lock down any shortsighted rebellious elents in their power fras until I wanted to deal with them, I waited for the elevator to reach the ground floor. As soon as the doors opened, I stepped out of it with my other half and instead of moving in the direction of my destination; I ventured off to another part of the manufacturing sector with her.
Shortly thereafter, I ca strolling into the area, finding dozens of my robots busy implenting the upgrades I wanted the suits to undergo. Content with the overall progress they were making, I started taking over the power armor fras one by one and in re monts, my will had infected each of the suits, granting absolute control over them.
"Okay, I finished what I needed to take care of here. Let's head to the workshop." I told Amata before beginning to turn in the direction we needed to take to get to my personal workshop.
"Ahem… I think you're forgetting sothing." My partner responded with her hand held out.
"Ahh."
Taking her hand into my own, I asked simply. "Better?"
"Very." She stated in her typical upbeat and bubbly tone of voice.
With Amata now smiling contently, we kept moving at our not too fast pace from prior to us waltzing into this section of the facility and eventually entered my personal workshop. The minute she and I arrived; I gave her the rundown on what we would be working on for the next couple of hours.
"Are you ready to get started?"
"Of course." My female companion answered last before the two of us got busy working on the tasks I laid out.
...
Two hours of hard work later we had accomplished every single thing I had set out for us with my robots speedily running around the robot production area and rapidly implenting the upgrades that will boost the current daily robot production capacity of each individual machine from 6 per day to 10.
Elsewhere, a second crew of worker bots were busy moving loads of materials to the second floor to construct the research lab. And another crew, along with several automated machines, were crafting the many pieces required to produce the force field generators and their associated components.
"We made good ti, Amata, great job."
"We did, didn't we? I'm actually quite surprised we were able to accomplish so much within such a short ti fra."
"Well, as you know, I've been getting stronger and more capable the longer I'm out here, so it's not that much of a surprise we can accomplish more and more when that is brought into the equation. You've also been improving a lot as well, so there's that to consider too."
"Hmm, I suppose you're right… I do feel like I'm improving at an accelerated rate since we've left ho."
Still waiting on my boys to finish performing their upgrades, we spent the ti making small talk and discussing this and that. After passing the downti as such for the next several minutes, they finally completed the job I passed off to them.
"Looks like the robots are finally done upgrading the power armor suits. Let's head upstairs and get geared up and ready to depart."
"Lead the way, dear." She said as she once again grasped my hand.
Doing as directed, I lead the way to the elevator and whilst we were en route; I sent a signal to the robots below, the ones that were with the troops, to round up the n and have them head up to the ground floor, so they could grab their kits and whatever else they wanted from the armory. Finished issuing my newest command in less than a split second, my girl and I raced to our living space on the highest floor, changed into our form fitting Shadow Armors, hopped into our respective suits of power armor, grabbed our weapons, and equipped the rest of our loadouts.
From there, we transitioned to the ground floor and waited for the n we would be taking with us to finish equipping their gear. The minute the last of the stragglers was ready, I led the way to the loading area where the rest of our large group was waiting. Joining the small army of robots that consisted of mostly my worker bots and hauling bots, I gave the command and had everyone begin moving collectively for the large bay doors that I opened for us ahead of ti with chu-deru.
