Minutes into my exploration of the underground level, I arrived in front of a bst door with a bel positioned o it that read Power Pnt. My objective found, I entered inside while also passing four ser turrets guarding the door that I took the time to take trol of before proceeding deeper.

  Once I passed the hallway, I made it to a room that was lined with systems and a sole terminal. Sing the rest of the room, I found that this room was sealed off from the nuclear reactors that were in their own dedicated space beyond a see through a pane of some presumably radioactive resistant material.

  Not seeing anything else of i, I walked over to the terminal and took a seat in another 200-plus-year-old chair that somehow held up remarkably well against my weight. With my ass firmly pnted on the chair, I scooched a bit closer to the terminal and started typing away on the keyboard to see exactly what type of power pnts were installed in this facility and what their current state was.

  Moving through the system speedily, I discovered that the cluster of power pnts installed were fusion based reactors. In addition to that, they were all iy det dition too, so I won't have to worry about this pce going off underh me anytime soon, as long as I perform the necessary maintenan them.

  That aside, it also shouldn't be all that difficult to vert the reactors over to fusion breeder ones as well, although it'll probably take around a month to do so given my current workforce. But that timeframe be reduced with an increased workford seeing how I'm in a literal robot manufacturing pnt, it would be smart to get on that and begin produg more worker bots.

  The be of ging them over to fusion breeder reactors instead of keeping their preexisting fusion power would be the entire removal of refueling, which is a pretty big iive to upgrade them. That said, it doesn't really o be dht away since, from what I'm reading oerminal, the fuel levels should be able to sustain current operations for another couple dozen years, if not a few more. Thus, I'll throw the upgrade to the low priority list for the time being while I focus my efforts on more urgent problems.

  Pretty much fihere, I was about to set off to get some more work done when I decided to check a few more things oerminal. Following that decision, I double-checked a couple of other important areas oerminal and when I was done doing my check; I got up aurhe level up above to see how things were ing along.

  The minute I made it back to the loading area, I saw my robots had about 30% of my stuff unloaded so far. Which was a det bit faster when pared to how long it took for us to get everything loaded up at Vault 101, but that's what happens when your workforcreases by many times in size in an instant.

  them for a few seds longer, I joihem.

  There's a lot that o get dht, hence I might as well help them unload and assemble my automated manufacturing maes to speed things along.

  On my way there I thought about all the specifivolved with the ask and right as I neared Hauler I got to work helping my robots.

  ...

  Several hours ter.

  "That should do it for now." I thought aloud as me and my robots just finished unloading aing up the st of my stuff, includiing all of my accumuted resources moved over and stored in the warehouse area aing up the automated manufacturing maes.

  Alright, with that out of the way, the worker bots finally begin repairing and repg the damaged parts of the robot manufacturing maes.

  Deg on their ask rather quickly, I immediately put that thought into a and issued a new and to my robots so I could start growing my robotic forces as soon as possible.

  With my robots w on their job, it's probably a good time to give everyone a call on the radios I made. I don't really have anything requiring my immediate attention, thus I should let them know I made it to my destination safely. I 't have them w about me needlessly now, I.

  Taking care of a couple of other little things that needed doing by yours truly, I took a seat and made the call with the radio.

  "Hey, is ahere?" I asked over the radio in our encrypted private el.

  A few seds went by before Amata quickly answered with a number of rapid-fire questions with a rge amount of ione. "I'm here, Harold. Are you i all? Did you make it there alright? Have you eate?"

  "Woah, woah, Amata, calm down. I'm just fine. I arrived at the RobCo Facility several ho safely and I just got it locked down with a det amount of security not too long ago. So I should be more than safe. As for eating, I haven't had anything just yet since I wao inform you guys that I had arrived safely." I told her, trying to calm her down.

  "Oh, thank god you're safe. I was so worried something may have happeo you since you called so te." She responded with a distinct amount of relief in her voice.

  "Yeah, sorry about that. I was just busy getting the p order aing all of my supplies unloaded. That's what held me up from calling, but that's enough about me. How are you doing?" I asked with some of my own because Amata has basically been attached to my hip since we've been kids, so I don't know if this separation of ours has affected her ively.

  "I'm doing alright for the moment, but I miss you a bunch so I don't know how long I'll st without you." She replied with a bit of a sniffle.

  "Well, you won't have to wait that long. I'll be ing ba about a week's time to pick up more of my stuff so end some quality time together while the robots are loading up my things." I informed her, trying to cheer her up.

  Hearing me say that, she questioned with a bit of hope in her voice. "Really? You're really ing ba a week?"

  "Yup, it should take me at most a week to get things up and running here. Thus, as soon as everything has been taken care of on my end, I'll be ing back, so be prepared to spend the whole day together. Adding to that further, I don't think it will take me all that long to find some power armor like we talked about previously. Meaning the moment I acquire a suit of it is the moment you'll be joining me."

  "But before we eveo that point, whatever set I do end up finding isn't going to be enough to satisfy my prote needs for you. Hence, I'm gonna have to upgrade its armor by a signifit margin to ensure you'll be safe from most of the dangers roaming around out here, because there's no way I'm letting you set foot out of the vault till I'm 100% sure that your power armor suit shrug off a gauss rifle shot to the head." I added stly before I heard a squeal of delight e over the radio.

  "That's great, Harold. How long do you think it will take for you to acquire a suit of power armor and modify it for me?" She asked with a ton of excitement and hopefulness in her voice.

  "Hmm, that's a good question. I would have to say at most a month, but if I was to really put my efforts into obtaining it as fast as possible then I would say maybe a little more than two weeks and that's including the armrade aing it ready to go."

  As soon as she heard my answer, I heard her say over the radio in a much more upbeat tone of voice with some surprise added in that, then ged to worry halfway through. "You actually get all that pleted in such a short amount of time... But knowing you, I see you doing something like that. Just promise me you'll be careful and if the two-week time frame is too dangerous, I would rather you not since I don't want to see you hurt or possibly dead, if that was to happen I don't think I could go on."

  "Ohh, e on, Amata. You really think I would take the risk of doing something dangerous if I wasn't absolutely fident in being able to achieve it? Plus, all the dangers I met on the way here couldn't eve nor put up much of a fight. Therefore, you have nothing to worry about." I replied, trying to ease her unnecessary worries.

  "Well, you're probably right, but I still 't help but worry. Just promise me you won't do anything too risky, please." She responded in a pleading tone.

  "Okay, I promise I'll try to stay away from anything too risky." I caved, which satisfied her.

  She and I unicated via the advanced radio for a while when I came to the decision to get back to the never ending and ever-increasing amount of tasks I had awaiting me. "Alright, I gotta get back to work a ready for bed, Amata. Tell my dad and father-in-w that I made it to the facility without issue?" I said stly before we then wished each ood night and ehe call.

  Time to get back to work.

  Now that my call with Amata was finished, I did a few things around the area and headed over to the manufacturing maes to see how things were ing along.

  When I got there, I found my robots had basically everything under trol. So with my presence being unneeded, I went around the whole facility to see if there was anything that o be taken care of. From that walk of mine, I found that there wasn't much of anything other than the peeding to be deep ed from top to bottom.

  I'll just have the worker bots hahat ohe immediate s are resolved.

  After spending a couple of hours looking around the entire facility, I headed over to Hauler's and took my armor off and stowed it away in my item box. , I climbed into Hauler's to take a rest on the seat that folds out into a bed sihere was no way in hell I was going to sleep on some ratty 200-plus-year-old mattress.

  The sed I got myself nid fortable, I reached over to Hauler's mini fridge that I stocked with some cold drinks and grabbed myself a nice, cool, non irradiated bottle of water and took a couple of big gulps.

  "Ahh, that's the stuff." I ented aloud, satisfied after having my fill.

  Now that I'm rehydrated, I o eat something a some nutrients in me. I have gohout food for nearly half the day after all.

  With my hydration needs met, I retrieved and opened up several high-protein shelf stable meals for dinner.

  A quarter of an hour ter.

  "Ahh, that hit the spot."

  That retty det meal, however it's not a rept for actual prepared food. But I guess when I pare what I just ate with what most wastenders eat, this is definitely a luxury, so I 't really pin too much, I suppose.

  There isn't too much I do about my food situatiht now due to there being more important things that need dealing with currently. But when I begin resolving and cheg those issues off of my list like the security and power situation, I start work on it...

  Hmm, actually I could divert a few of the worker bots to get w oing a small hydroponics system setup so I at the very least have some fresh fruits aables sooner rather than ter. Yeah, I think I'll go with that, but that pn will have to wait till I have my robot produ up and running.

  With that thought finished, I got under my covers and rolled over with my head on my pillow for some mueeded rest.
