Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Three Brothers

“Then it’s more than likely that the enclave took your friends from you guys and how long ago did they take them?” I asked.

 

“It happened about a month ago.” The ghoul who interrupted the leading ghoul quickly responded to which I responded back.

 

“Well I don’t particularly like giving people false hope since I see it as lying but your friends are more than likely dead at this point though there is a chance they may be still alive but the chances that that’s the case are pretty low, and the longer they’re with them the more likely they’re already gone.” As soon as I finished saying that the general mood for the 3 of them dropped through the floor and especially so for the ghoul who clearly remembered the details of the event.

 

I waited for a dozen seconds before I continued while the ghouls were processing that their friends were more than likely dead. “Sorry that I couldn’t give you a better answer but that is most likely who took them but back to what I was going to ask you 3 originally what are your names your occupations back before the great war and what sort of skills did you pick up since the great war?”

 

Once I asked a couple of seconds went by before the leading ghoul answered. “My name is Don King Hill my occupation before the war was a sniper in the US army and as for what sort of skills I’ve picked up since the many years I’ve been alive after the great war with my brothers I’ve managed to pick up and learn an assortment of skills ranging from how to repair weapons from scrap to how to survive and avoid most dangers in the wasteland by going off of tracks or other clues from the surrounding environment.”

 

When Don was done answering the other ghoul who was wielding a .32 hunting rifle started talking. “Well now that my brother is done answering I guess it's my turn my name is Kevin Watts Hill as for my occupation before the war I was an electrician and I had a hobby of working on cars though I’m not able to enjoy that hobby anymore unfortunately as for what skills I’ve managed to pick up since the great war well it’s a pretty similar skill set to my brother’s but I would say I’m better at putting things together than him and disassembling things.” As we heard the last part of Kevin’s answer Don nodded his head at the last part agreeing with his brother that he was indeed better at that type of thing.

 

We all then looked to the last remaining ghoul who had yet to answer and after looking at him he didn’t look like he was all there so Don put his hand on his shoulder and woke him up from his thoughts and told him to answer my question after retelling him what I had asked since he wasn’t paying attention when I had asked originally. “Ahh sorry about that my name is Hugo Dean Hill and before the great war I worked at RobCo as a researcher in the robotics department as for the skills I learned since the great war I would say I’ve become very good at hacking, lockpicking, and a couple of other skills I learned from my brothers though not to the same levels as them.”

 

Hmm they all have a pretty decent skill set and they seem to be halfway decent people though that could all be bullshit but that’s not the feeling I’m getting from the 3 of them so I’ll listen to my gut for now and see if I can’t recruit them since having 3 ghouls that are over 200 year old each with a wealth of knowledge and experience is a very valuable asset to have no matter how I look at it.

 

After the 3 of them were done answering my question I decided I should probably give my name as well. “Thank you for answering my questions, Don, Kevin, and Hugo as for me my name is Harold Todd Woods from vault 101 it's nice to meet the 3 of you.” I said while I took my power helmet off showing my face for a brief moment and once I was done introducing myself I put my power armor helmet back on and continued.

 

“Now that I know a bit about the 3 of you I have a proposition for the 3 of you if you're all interested?”

 

“Sure I’ll bite what's the proposition.” Don said after a couple of seconds in his usual raspy voice while his two brothers focused their attention on me.

 

“Here's the deal I have for the 3 of you I’m looking to recruit subordinates that I think would be useful in trying to achieve my goals and I think the 3 of you would be plenty satisfied with what I could potentially offer you 3.” I said before Hugo asked a question a bit skeptical.

 

“What sort of goal do you have and what could you offer my brothers and me?”

 

“Well, my dream is to bring some semblance of order back into the wasteland and to ultimately build a country later on though I’m nowhere near that point but I do have the semblance of a foundation to make that dream a reality as for what I could offer you and your brothers safety, good food, clean water, a nice place to live, something to strive for and the chance to get back at the enclave that took your friends from you guys.” As soon as I was done giving my offer Hugo instantly responded with a bit of a crazed look.

 

“You have yourself a deal if there's a chance I can take revenge on those bastards I don’t even care if you work me to the bone.” When his two brothers heard Hugo say that they shrugged their shoulders as if they expected he would react this way.

 

I guess the quiet ones are the scary ones and the enclave must’ve taken someone he cared for deeply if he's willing to jump on an offer that doesn’t really have anything of substance backing it up other than my word not that I would go back on my word I also haven’t even given them the stuff I offered before.

 

“Nice to have you guys aboard, but before we go any further, let me get you the items I offered you 3 initially as well as some other gear since you’re all now my people and I take care of my people.” I said before I sent a signal with mechu-deru to my bots to start bringing the items I had initially offered them as well as some Type 93 Chinese Assault Rifles with drum magazines to upgrade from their .32 hunting rifles and some other miscellaneous items.

 

A little bit later my robots brought them all the stuff I had promised them as well as the additional things I had asked them to bring over and once they Kevin gave off a whistle as if he was impressed by the weapons, Don and Hugo also looked satisfied well when I looked over at them.

 

When they were done admiring their new items I asked another question. “I have another question regarding what happened to your friends what direction were they taken because if you remember I may know the location of where your friends might’ve been taken?”

After saying that some hope returned to their eyes and their collective mood was improved further, once a few seconds had passed Hugo who remembered the event in detail asked hopefully. “I remember the vertibird flying off in the northwest direction is that at all useful?”

 

To which I responded. “Definitely they were most likely taken to Raven Rock which is a bunker meant for top military officials before the great war.”

 

I then continued further. “We won’t be able to do anything right now since they probably have a ton of guys equipped with all sorts of advanced weaponry as well as power armor but once I have enough firepower we can take them out and hopefully your friends will still be alive and if not hopefully their bodies are still there so you can bury them and lay them to rest.”

 

Though by that time I’ll probably have a ton of skill points in medicine so I should have no issue reviving their friends if they’re dead.

 

Once the 3 ghoul brothers processed what I had just said Hugo looked ready to charge directly to the enclave headquarters but his brother Don walked up next to him and put his hand on his brother’s shoulder and slowly shook his head side to side to which Hugo clenched his hands into fists before relaxing them and letting out a sigh a few seconds later.

 

*Sigh*

 

“So Harold what do you want us to call you by or do want us to just call you by name?” Hugo asked to which I responded with.

 

“Ehh just call me by name for now and if we start getting close to the makings of a country or some other entity in the future just call me by whatever title is selected for my position in the future when in public.” After giving it a moment of thought.

 

“I got one more question when do you think you’ll be ready to take on the enclave if you don’t mind me asking?” Hugo asked expectantly.

 

“Yeah, I don’t mind answering I would say within a year to give myself enough time to accumulate resources and firepower but probably much sooner than that.” I answered which put a satisfied look on his face though it is difficult to tell since ghoul faces are missing a lot of facial features.

 

When I finished answering Hugo’s question I had my robots start opening the sealed entrance on the building with my stashed loot and after about a minute they had it open so my worker bots headed inside and started the transfer process of getting the loot loaded up onto hauling bots.

 

While my worker robots were busy getting everything loaded up my now 3 ghoul subordinates and I entered the building and took a seat at a table away from the blood stains on the former store's floor and started chatting about different things happening in the wasteland.

 

As we were conversing they started eating and drinking the food I had given them before and after several minutes had passed they had finished filling themselves up and my robots were just about done getting everything loaded up so I headed outside with the ghouls following behind me.

 

“Alright so be we head out to vault 101 Don do want a Type 93 Chinese Assault Rifle like one of the ones your brothers are currently using or do want something else perhaps?” I asked Don.

 

“Hmm, do you have an R91 Assault Rifle I would much prefer one of those since I’m more used to them from my military service?” Don answered in his raspy voice.

 

“Yeah, I have a few of those.” I then had one of my worker robots retrieve one for done and when it came back it handed the weapon to Don who took the gun in his hands and went over the weapon before he racked the assault rifle’s bolt clearing a jammed bullet.

 

“Now I’m ready.” Don said while he had his sniper rifle slung on his back and the R91 Assault Rifle in his hands loaded with a drum magazine.

 

Once the 3 ghoul brothers were ready they loaded up into Hauler since it was faster for them to ride on it than it was for them to try and keep up with our usual traveling speed we headed towards the east following the deteriorating asphalt road.
