Alright now that that's do's about time I returo the present.

  Gng over my stats o time to see if I missed anything, I didn't find anything else. Thus, I closed the holographic Pip-Boy s, resuming the passage of time once again after a few moments.

  When time resumed, I had all my robots remain in their defensive positions in front of the RobCo Facility while I headed around the building to make sure there weren't any hostiles behind the building.

  No more than a few mier, I finished cirg the facility firming that there were no potential dangers or hostiles that required my attention. That said, as I was cheg the rear of the facility out I noticed the loading docks in the back were quite rge as well as numerous in number, which was a huge plus for me si would allow the passing er vehicles and robots without issue.

  They could also be used for the loading and unloading tons of resources but that won't be until I have total trol of the capital wastend and have figured out what o be done about the Zetans. So until those two things are resolved, though mainly the tter one, I'll be keeping a majority of my movements underground when I've taken trol of the metros and have gotten them linked up with the RobCo Facility.

  Moving on from future issues to the present, the back of the facility had a massive bst door as well se it could probably allow something as humongous as liberty prime to walk through it with plenty of room to spare, so that was another nice discovery.

  It will definitely see some use wheually start accumuting a massive amount of resources that I use to make robots like the behemoth from Fallout Tactics. though mine will feature a multitude of modifications to increase their bat capabilities. Alongside that, I could try to make a deal with the Brotherhood Steel to get my hands on Liberty Prime, however that will probably be o impossible, unless I vihem to join me.

  And that won't be viable until I at least establish myself as somewhat of a major force here in the capital wastend. Despite all that, I know Elder Lyons isn't like the brotherhood from out west with their dumb restrictive rules, so there is a not so low probability that I might be able to get them to join me if I go about things the right way... I'll tihis line of thinking when start nearing the point where I actually stand a ce of potentially bringing them into my fold.

  Time to get down to business and take over this RobCo Facility. As for how I'm going to do that, I think the best way to go about it without destroying the robots that are most likely still operating in the facility would be to sneak my way to the mainframe that's located somewhere in the facility.

  It was located on the upper levels in the game, so if the yout is anything like it was in Fallout 3, I should be able to find it there. And once I locate the mainframe, I'll hato and gain administrator access, which should then give me full trol of the facility as well as the robots that are still funing within it.

  After I settled on a general pn, I sed the surrounding area and the distance for any potential trouble. Thankfully, I didn't find anything other than a pack of feral dogs, a det way out that would present no issue to my robots while I'm iting things taken care of.

  With that out of the way, I unequipped my main on Mulcher along with its magazine because I didn't think I'd be using it i all. The sed I had it stored away with its magazine, I sed over to my Guillotine which should be more than enough to handle any dangers I may enter inside.

  "Alright, I'm heading ihe area locked down. I'll be ba a bit." I told my robots, which got a whole ass assortment of affirmatives in response and a reply from Hauler.

  "Okay, boss, we'll hold down the fort till you get back."

  Right as I finished all my preparations, I walked over to the frorand cracked the door open to take a peek inside. What I saw was a very simir receptioo the one in the game, along with its old deteriorating furniture and dreary atmosphere.

  Hmm, I don't see any robots around. But that doesn't mean there aren't a lot of them further in the facility... Also, this peeds a serious amount of ing up. I literally see the dust floating around.

  *k...Knk...k...k*

  As I was pting, my thoughts were interrupted by a frequent sound of metal hitting a surfad the lohis went on, the louder it was growing. Meaning whatever rodug it was ing right this way.

  Remaining patient, a weathered Prote ehe reception area a few moments ter and sed the area before heading through a different doorway off into another area of the facility to tis programmed route.

  When I couldn't hear the Prote's metal feet nding on the floor anymore, I opehe door fully and made my move towards where I believed the way to the upper levels of the facility id. From there, I stealthily moved through the worn hallways of the facility, produg no noise in the process thanks to the perk I just got in my previous level up. tinuing to make my way, I suddenly stopped in pce when I heard peared to be the sounds of numerous Prote feet hitting the facility's floor.

  It sounds like there are quite a few of them up ahead. Let's take a peek and see how many of them there are.

  I thought before I headed down the hall towards the sound of king robot feet inated from. All it took was a brief few moments for me to arrive in front of the door that should lead toward the source of the sound. Crag the door open a smidge, I took a peek.

  What I saw was a dark dreary warehouse area with several dozeall ceilings and a couple dozen Protes walking about, not really doing anything in particur other than moving about. After looking around the area for a bit, I saw off to the right a door with a sigo it beled stairwell.

  Looks like I found my . Now how am I going to get past them without getting their attention... Mm, there's a det amount of distaween them and the stairs and plenty of cover, so it should be retively easy to sneak past the Protes. So bihat with my sneak skill that is so damn high and me being able to make my presence basically disappear, I should have zero trouble getting past them.

  Yeah, I just utilize the enviroo my advantage and go from cover to cover and hang towards the shadows and make my way to the stairwell door and if it doesn't work out, I'll just make a run for the door.

  Putting my pn into a, I activated the presence hiding field I got from my stealth skill reag 100 and cracked the door open just enough for me to slip through it. Once I ast it, I gently and very quietly closed it behind me before I started moving from e rack of parts and different resources to another. About a mier, I arrived in front of the door leading to the stairwell, but it was locked, so I unlocked it with the new ability I got from Humaon Key.

  The very instant the door was unlocked, I silently ope aered the stairwell and right as I passed the threshold, I shut it behind, all while not making a single sound. Now that the door was shut, I looked around the stairwell and noticed it lead up as well as down, which wasn't a thing in the game, so I guess I got a basement area to explore ter. But I'm not pining si will be of great help ter when I'm ready to struct a tunnel from here to the metro station, Warrington Station, in the southwest.

  When I was finished , I headed up the stairs quietly and while I was climbing said stairs I took hat there were three floors not ting the basement floor or floors since I hadn't been down there just yet. Seds ter into my climb I finally arrived in front of the door oopmost floor and as I was cheg the door out, I saw it also had a bel o the door, but it was covered in dust. So I brushed it off, what was revealed beh the cover of dust was a bel that read Administrative Area.

  Good, I found the floor I wanted.

  Giving the door haurn and it arently locked, hence I unlocked it with my retly gained lockpig ability.

  *Click*

  The door sounded as I unlocked it before I then cracked it open and took a peek inside like I'd been doing with every other door thus far since you ever be too cautious, especially out here in the wastend. peared in my vision was a hallway that went on for a bit before eventually splitting off and out to the sides as well as forward. But other than that, I didn't see anything else that was dangerous or iing, so I slipped inside and tinued on down the hallway.

  A quarter of an hour ter, as I was wandering the rundown hallways, I came across another se of hallways, so I tinued my exploration down them. Shortly thereafter, just as I was ing up on another cross-se, I detected some turrets nearby, hence I paused for a brief sed and walked over to the er of the wall and took a quick look-see. What I saw while looking around the er was a semi long hallway with a faded blue colored door beled Mainframe at the end of it that was also being guarded by four ser turrets.

  Ah, so this is where it was.

  Mm, it seems to be guarded by four turrets too, but that shouldn't pose much of a challenge for me to sneak past uhey are able to dete thermal, at which point I'll just take them out. However, from the looks of them, they don't seem to have the hardware required for that, so I should be good.

  Done cheg the hallway out, I snuck over to the door while tinuing to use my ealth ability following along the wall of the hallway. When I arrived in front of the door, I gave the door handle a quiet jiggle and was surprised to find it unlocked. I would've preferred it being locked to farm a smidge of xp, but I wasn't going to pin sihat minuscule amount of xp wasn't worth much at the end of the day.

  Upoering the room, I looked around and saw a huge amount of different puters lined up against the walls of the room and smack dab in the ter of the room was the mainframe.

  It took a while to get here, but I've finally arrived. Time to see what this mainframe do and make this pce mine.

  As soon as I fihat thought, I walked with a bit of pep in my step toward the terminal that was ected to the mainframe. When I arrived in front of it I took a seat in the 200-plus-year-old chair pced at it, fired up the terminal, and started typing away on its keyboard to gain trol over the facility even though I could've just used Mechu-deru to do just that.
