Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Back To Work

Date 2275 August 18

 

*Yawn*

 

“What time is it?” I asked aloud as I was rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

 

“It is 6:12 AM boss.” Hauler answered.

 

“Oh okay, thanks Hauler.” I replied a couple seconds later.

 

“No problem boss.” Hauler said lastly before I started getting up to see what I was going to do today.

 

Hmm what needs to get done right now, well first off I should get something to eat and when I’m finished eating breakfast I think I’ll work on getting some turrets fabricated to increase the defenses here, and later on, I’ll see where I’m gonna put my workout area though I won’t have anything to put there right now since I left my workout equipment back at vault 101.

 

After planning out what tasks I was going to complete for the day I got up and went to go get some breakfast which just ended up being the same thing I had last night sadly but that will hopefully be changing soon as long as no surprises pop up.

 

I then spent the next 15 minutes eating breakfast before finally getting myself together and heading out of Hauler’s cabin to the manufacturing area. Once there I went over to the manufacturing machines and noticed my worker bots had repaired one of the machines fully and were part of the way done with a second one. 

 

Oh, there’s even a new worker bot too, nice, that will definitely speed things up and from what I can see it seems that each manufacturing machine can produce about 3 robots a day which will be about 1095 robots a year so not too bad as long as I can keep feeding enough resources into them. 

 

I could also improve their designs and make them more efficient but that can come later on since I think a total robot production capacity of 10,950 bots a year is sufficient for now.

 

As soon as I finished that thought I used mechu-deru on the freshly produced worker bot and went over to the automated manufacturing machines and had the ones that could make the parts start producing the assortment of parts that I’ll need for the turrets.

 

When that was done I made my way over to the workshop area nearby that was relatively close to the manufacturing machines to start fabricating some of the parts that will be needed for the turrets.

 

Hmm, I should probably turn in that quest I completed for taking over this facility before I start producing the parts for the turrets since I can use that perk Adeptus Mechanicus to accelerate the rate at which the manufacturing machines are being repaired while I’m working though it will only work for the ones that are within range of the field of energy that I’ll be emitting. 

 

I’ll also be gaining a level up from turning the quest in so I can also use the skill points from said level up to boost the repair rate even further while also increasing the range slightly. 

 

A few moments of contemplation later.

 

Yeah, I think I’ll go with that idea. I thought lastly while I was walking over to the workshop area.

 

Seconds later I arrived at the workshop area so I opened my Pip-Boy freezing time like usual. As soon as time was completely frozen a holographic screen popped into my view displaying my stats.

 

I then navigated to the quests section and turned in the quest Take Over The RobCo Facility which then granted me the following rewards: the perk RobCo Certified, 5 points of science, and 5,120 xp.

 

Ding! New Perk

Ding! Level Up

Ding! New Quests

 

When the rewards were finished being distributed I immediately went to the perk section to see what the RobCo Certified perk effects were.

 

| RobCo Certified | You’re now RobCo certified. You now have knowledge of all things having to do with RobCo for example all research, plans, robot designs, RobCo locations, and much more. Also a +2 to intelligence, +10 to science, and a +10 to repair.

 

That’s actually a pretty good perk and the bonus intelligence it gives should help with processing all the new information that will be driven into my head when time resumes plus the two points of intelligence will give me one additional skill point for all my future level-ups.

 

Moving on from that let me use the level up I just gained and after that, I will see what new quest I got.

 

I then turned in the pending level-up I had just gotten and a moment later the holographic screen changed from displaying my stats to the perk selection screen displaying no new options in the perk selection unfortunately though there will be new options next level up.

 

Hmm, what to choose there are quite a few perks that I would like to pick right now but I think for the moment I’m going to go with Rad Resistance since I’m in a radioactive wasteland and some of the areas I want to go to could possibly be pretty hot so going with this perk should help some with that. I thought while looking over all the other perks in the list before then coming back to look at Rad Resistance once again.

 

| Rad Resistance | Requirements Level 8, Endurance 5, Survival 40: +25% Radiation resistance.

 

After making sure that was the perk I wanted to go with I selected the perk Rad Resistance and finalized my choice changing the holographic screen once again now displaying the skill distribution menu with my recent improvements.

Yeah, that's some pretty decent progress right there if I do say so myself. I thought after just giving my skills a look over.

 

Well, let me get these 25 skill points distributed into repair so I can accelerate the rate at which the manufacturing machines are being repaired by my energy field.

 

Once I had all 25 skill points distributed in to repair I finalized my choice which then changed the holographic screen one last time displaying my current stats.

One cursory look later.

 

Ohh would you look at that radiation resistance is at 69% percent now, nice.

 

Moving on from that let me check out the details of that new quest I just received a few moments ago.

 

I then navigated over to the quests section and looked for the new quest I just received. A second later I found it and was happily surprised to find that it was a relatively easy quest to complete since most of the work can just be handled by my worker bots which will be increasing in numbers substantially in the next coming weeks so this quest will probably get completed in the next two months at most.

 

After I was done looking at the new quest I had just recently received I gave my stats one last look over and exited out of my Pip-Boy resuming time once again a short few seconds later.

 

Well, time to get to work but let me first use Adeptus Mechanicus so I can help speed up the rate at which the manufacturing machines are being repaired. As soon as I finished that thought I willed a field of invisible energy into existence that then started repairing the nearby manufacturing machines at a very slow but still noticeable pace.

 

I then observed the field of energy repairing the nearby machinery for several minutes to see how it worked and to see how much time it could possibly cut off of my previous estimate of about a week and after those several minutes, I came to the conclusion that it could probably reduce the repair time by about two days which is a welcome improvement.

 

I can also use that extra time to go check out the VSS Facility that should have no brotherhood outcasts at it right now since they won’t be established until the year 2276 though I don’t know what month or I could go check out the nearby metro station to see what I’m working with.

 

But I’m currently leaning more towards the VSS Facility since it should have an intact/untouched armory along with a suit of power armor, a chinese stealth suit, and a gauss rifle and if that is the case it would increase my combat power by a huge margin so hopefully all that gear is still there waiting to be claimed otherwise I’ll be very disappointed.

 

When I was done contemplating what I was going to do with those two extra days I just freed up, I finally got to work making all the parts I was going to need for the turrets. 

 

Six hours later I ended up doing everything from fabricating armor for the turrets to getting the gatling mechanisms put together and what I received for my efforts was a total of ten gatling laser turrets that each weighed well over 100 pounds or 45.3592 kg.

 

Also from what I’ve tested so far the gatling laser turrets should have no issue dealing a ton of damage as well as receiving a ton of damage since they basically have the equivalent firepower of six souped-up laser rifles each as well as enough armor to shrug off .50 caliber rounds or even rounds that are slightly larger and a bit more powerful though I’ve yet to test that so that’s only my speculation at this point.

 

Other than that we almost got a second manufacturing machine fully repaired and I also had some of the worker bots diverted to set up my other automated manufacturing machines so now different types of ammo are being manufactured along with an assortment of different parts ranging from parts for weapons to parts that will be used to produce more automated manufacturing machines.

 

*Growl*

 

Well, my stomach is informing me that it’s time for lunch so I better go get something to eat and while I’m having lunch the worker bots should be able to get that second machine up and running before I get back.

 

I then walked away from the production area back towards the loading area where Hauler was parked and when I got there I climbed into his cabin to make myself a high protein meal.

 

One hour later I finished my lunch and got a small workout in before I then headed back to the manufacturing area of my facility to resume my crafting of more turrets. When I was nearing the area I noticed through mechu-deru that my worker bots just finished repairing the second machine so my estimate was about spot on. I guess using mechu-deru on all those bots has made some substantial improvements in my ability to make calculations and estimations.

 

A short time later I entered into the area and as I was entering a fresh new worker bot was just completed so I walked up to it and used mechu-deru on it before sending it to help the other bots in repairing the remaining eight manufacturing machines.

 

As soon as I was done handling that I walked back over to the workshop area and got back to work on fabricating more parts for the gatling laser turrets.

 

Another six hours later I was interrupted from my work by my stomach once again so I decided to take a break and get something to eat while also giving everyone back in vault 101 a call to see what they were up to and to inform them that I’m alright.

 

Sometime later I arrived in the loading area and hopped into Hauler’s cabin once again but this time instead of getting something to eat immediately I pulled out my radio and made a call. A few seconds go by before my dad answers the call asking me how I’ve been doing.

 

“Hey, son, how have you been handling the wasteland?” He asked.

 

“Not too bad dad I’ve been having a pretty good time getting this RobCo facility up and running though on my way here I did encounter a couple groups of raiders that I took care of with no issue, other than that the only other thing I had to handle was 20 bloatflies and one Yao Guai but those also didn’t really present any challenge at all either.” I replied before dad took the wheel of the conversation again after I heard a sigh of relief.

 

*Sigh*

 

“Well son for any normal wastelander those threats you casually mentioned would be lethal but I’m glad you handled them and that you’re safe and sound. Also do try to stay away from anything you don’t think you can handle since you’ve only got one life son and I don’t think I can handle another loss.”

 

“Okay, I promise I won’t do anything stupid. Ohh and that reminds me dad was mom buried and if so where since I would like to go visit her grave.” I asked while I was thinking about the possibility of bringing the women who brought me into this world back from the dead.

 

Several seconds of radio silence later dad came back and said in a somewhat saddened tone that then turned into a somewhat serious tone by the end.

 

“Your mother is buried on the south side of Jefferson Memorial with a tombstone marking its location. I'm sure she’ll be glad that you’re visiting her son just but be extremely careful when you venture out into that direction since the downtown DC ruins is a well-known hotspot for all sorts of dangers ranging from super mutants to swarms of feral ghouls.”

 

“Okay dad I’ll be careful when I decide to venture over to that area and if I meet anything that I think I won’t be able to handle I’ll make a strategic retreat.” I said after he told me the location of where my mom is buried before I then continued to ask him how he and everyone else was doing.

 

“Well, actually we all got together to have dinner so everyone is currently here at our home and I can also see your girlfriend here is eagerly waiting to talk to you as well.” He said with a bit of a chuckle before continuing to say.

 

“Other than that everything’s been the same as usual so I’m gonna hand the radio off to Amata so you guys can talk for a bit.” Dad said before we then lastly said our goodbyes and a split second later I was talking to Amata over the radio.

 

A short while later I finally got off the radio with Amata and started making myself some dinner and when it was ready I started eating while going over what I got done in the last six hours of work.

 

I managed to finish up another ten gatling laser turrets over that six-hour period of work and while I was doing that my worker bots and the energy field I was emitting repaired a good percentage of the third manufacturing machine so it should be completely repaired by the time I get up in the morning. All and all not bad progress though I should be able to get another ten gatling laser turrets done by the time I hit the hay and two more worker bots should also be finished by that time as well.

 

I then finished my meal and headed back over to the manufacturing area and resumed my work for the next six hours. Once I was done fabricating parts for the day I went around the whole facility to find where I wanted to set up my workout area and I ended up deciding to go with putting it in the basement since there’s quite a bit of free space down there. After I was done figuring that out I finally hit the hay for the night at around 2:00 AM.
