The infamous Mariposa, if I remember correctly.

[Sheb]

No, go to the boneyard, and upgrade your plasma rifle to the fast-firing variant! For more Dakka!

EDIT3: BWHAHAHAHA! I. AM. GOD! TREMBLE IN MY PRESENCE, PUNY MORTALS!

...

Anyways the turn is finished, decided to storm the base next time. The way everything ended just seemed perfect. I didn't want to ruin it by continuing to play.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Viva la Revolution!

"Master..."

Rob looked up from reloading his plasma rifle. The Deathclaw was a charred mass of ash at his feet. Apparently one of its victims was still alive. A supermutant, with its guts hanging out and lying in a pool of its own blood, was still tenaciously clinging to life when a normal person would have been dead several times over. Rob rushed over to it.

"M-Master?"
"Shh, everything is going to be okay."
"Take, take this to the Master. It'll explain... everything."

With its dying breath it pushed a holotape into Rob's hands.



"So, whatcha find? Raiders? Deathclaws? Water Merchants?"
"Worse, supermutants."
"Supermutants? Hohohoho. You're making a joke. Hahahaha. Good joke, funny joke. No more jokes. Who did it?"
"I'm not joking. Here, listen to this."
"Hohohoh-
...
Ho?
...
A-
..."
"I'll come for my reward later."

"Hello?"
"Yes?"
"I was travelling through the area and stumbled upon a dead merchant. He had some parts to deliver to a Mr... Mevlin of Adytum."
"Oh thank god. I'm him. We need those parts for the hydroponics farm. It broke down a couple months ago, and we've been feeling it ever since."
"Well, take them. I'm glad to help."
"If you need me to return the favour, I'll be happy to."
"Okay, what exactly can you help me with?"
"I'm a chemist. Admittedly you could probably care less about fertilizers and fungicides, but I know a quite a bit about plasma weapons and power armour."
"Yeah? How much?"
"Enough to increase the cycling rate of the plasma chamber in the rifle, and how to improve the strength of your armour."
"Hmm... What do you need?"
"It'll take some time to gather the regents, and I'll need some books from the Hub to h-"
"Make a list, and I'll make sure that you'll get whatever you need."

Spoiler: Guns. We'll Need Guns. (click to show/hide)

Rob found the famed moat of radioactive waste to be less impressive than he thought. It looked like it had more industrial run-off than anything else.


Still, it wasn't something you would want to wade through. The Gunrunner's guards were very friendly. Undoubtedly they jumped at any excuse to get as far away from the moat as possible.


"I'd imagine that the moat would keep most people away."
"Eh, more like the Deathclaws. They keep everyone except the Adytumtowners away. Damn it, they're killing our business!"
"Then why haven't you killed them yet? You seem to have enough firepower to take down a Deathclaw."
"I'm not talking about the Deathclaws, though they aren't exactly pleasant to live next to. No, I'm talking about the damn Regulators. They're overcharging for scrap and food, trying to squeeze us out. The only reason they haven't attacked us outright is because of the Deathclaws!"
"Hmm... You know, the Blades are in need of some arms and weapons."
"Do they have the caps? Wait, shit, are they finally going after the Regulators?"
"They need arms to defend themselves if the Regulators attack. But from the look of things, they'll be quite... proactive about it."
"Aye. Well, shit isn't going to improve as it stands. I'll make a deal with you. Once the Regulators go the Deathclaws will have to leave a well. Take them out for me, and I'll give the Blades those weapons. On credit, I know that they don't have two caps to rub together."
"I think I can handle that..."






(Yeah, that egg just insulted my fighting skills. Deal with it)

"Back already?"
"Here."
"What is it?"
"A Deathclaw egg. Turns out they had a nest. Thought that you'd like a souvenir. Is the shipment ready?"
"Oh, yeah. I'll just place this thing... here then."

"Zimmerman?"
"Is that bitch dead?"
"Nice to see you too. I didn't kill her."
"WHAT? WHY THE FUCKING HELL NOT?"
"I've ran into some important evidence."
"Eh? What is it?"
"It's best if you listened to it yourself."
"Oh, it's one of those holo-thingies. I got a reader here somewhere...
...
..."


The Regulator behind Zimmerman chuckled.
"So you finally found out, you old coot. Good thing we don't need you anymore."
Rob watched with horror as the Regulator pulled out his shotgun and blew half of Zimmerman's head off.
"You bastard."

It took Rob several minutes to realize that not all of the gunfire was directed at him. Being shot at isn't very conductive to thinking. Rob cautiously poked his head out of a window.






Rob checked his Pipboy. The Blades had begun their attack early, probably after hearing Zimmerman meet his grave. Rob appreciated the help.  Adytum was descending into chaos. The Regulators were running around shooting everyone who wasn't a Regulator. The citizens were divided into two groups. Those who opposed the Regulators formed blood-thirsty mobs. Those few who supported the Regulators had their limbs adorning the roofs of nearby buildings. The Blades where in the midst of everything, trying to restore order. Being a army composed out of rejects, they had little success. Rob sighed and checked the charge on his Microfusion cell. He had a lot of work to do.


"It's just a shame I couldn't talk them down. Thanks for the offer, but I have a wasteland to save."

Update seems a bit short to me. Sorry about that.

I feel that Rob can no longer be bothered by anything. He has hardened power armour and a turbo plasma rifle. He isn't fazed when clearing out a Deathclaw nest, and he certainly isn't going to worry about tackling the supermutant base either.

If I don't finish the game in the next update, then the update after that will mark the end of the game. Count on it.

[Sheb]

Some of the image are down. Nice update otherwise, never got around to clean Adytum myself.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Which images? They all seem to be fine for me.

[Shadowgandor]

They're fine for me as well

[Ahra]

and me.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Here's the latest news from the turn:

WHAT THE HELL. WHAT THE FUCKING HELL. I JUST SHOT HIM IN THE GROIN. THAT'S IT. WHY THE HELL DID HIS HEAD EXPLODE? AND HIS ARMS? AND HIS LEGS? AND HIS INTERNAL ORGANS?

Ahem.

I'd never thought that a game with graphics like Fallout's could scar me for life.

EDIT: Besides shooting up the place, what are my options for going deeper into the Cathedral?

[loose nut]

Fallout is very good about giving you options. You can chat or sneak your way through the Cathedral if you have great skill at those things (or items that help give you great skill, as well)

Took a break, and then came back to it. I am no longer stuck, and did not have to kill anybody. Success all around.

[Itnetlolor]

WHAT THE HELL. WHAT THE FUCKING HELL. I JUST SHOT HIM IN THE GROIN. THAT'S IT. WHY THE HELL DID HIS HEAD EXPLODE? AND HIS ARMS? AND HIS LEGS? AND HIS INTERNAL ORGANS?

Gotta love certain death animations. I know what happened.

As for the cathedral, there's a certain item you can carry that'll make it a little more friendly to traverse. Actually, a couple of them.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Hardened power armour and a turbo plasma rifle? I'm only asking because I am literally staring down you-know-who right now.

EDIT: It's like they sweetly and reasonably kick you in the nuts at the end. I'm at a lost for words of how to describe it completely. Bittersweet?

EDIT2: Hmm... The epilogue in the Fallout 2 manual doesn't really seem like something Rob would say or do. I might will have to make my own.

[Itnetlolor]

I was going to say there's a mind shield device (to prevent mind rape on the way to The Master) and you can also dress up in one of those gowns the purple dudes wear in order to bypass security into the cathedral. Swap out to power armor when you could, and nuke them from inside.

But being introduced directly to The Master also works, but the mind shield makes the exit easier.

Yes. Introduced...
