Chapter 55: Equipping The Gym

  Date Sunday, August 29th, 2275

  The following day, as I began to wake up from my brief but very good sleep, I let loose a yawn and started stretg my muscles, specifically the ohat wouldn't affeor disturb my girl's sleep. Stretg them for several seds lohey loosened up and were no longer as stiff as they were when I woke up initially.

  Ahh, that was a nice rest.

  Well rested and ready to start my day, I looked over to my right and checked up on my panion. What I found eacefully sleeping Amata who was looking mighty fortable and tent, log her arms around my vascur right bicep.

  Good, my stretg didn't wake her.

  With Amata still sleeping soundly, I pulled up my Pip-Boy, tur on to check the time. The instant the s came to life, I looked at the top of the s and saw it was 2:28 AM.

  Looks like I got plenty of hours to work on a few things here at base before the two I will be taking on this mission wake up.

  That said, I 't wait till we get out into the wastend to explore the nearby Warrington Station and clear it out so my robots begin tunneling to link it up with the bottom level of this facility... Now that I'm thinking of it I'll probably o increase the underground levels of the facility down another level if I want to link this pce up with the metro rails.

  The current space I have avaible on those two levels is already allocated to other things, so where would the tunnel ect to... Yeah, after giving it a bit more thought, I'll without a doubt o expand the underground levels by one more. However, that stru project will have to be put on hold until I have the manpower and the resources to dedicate to it, which I'll likely have in the ing months.

  Leaving thoughts on home expansion and upgrades for some other day what do I want to work on this m... Hmm, I think I'll work on fabricated gym equipment and as I finish each piece of it, I'll have my meical men haul it down to the bottom level to the designated area we selected retly for the gym.

  Now that I had an idea of what I wao work on, I slipped out of Amata's hold by using my retly obtained ability Ghost and walked to the bathroom.

  A short period ter, I exited the bathroom with my dark brown hair slightly damp from the shower I just took and got ged into a set of clothes that were more suited for the work I was about to do. The moment I had my work attire on, I headed for our bedroom's door aed it. Passing by the two Assaultrons I had on guard, I made my way to the elevator and took a ride to the ground floor.

  From there I grabbed a bite to eat and as soon as my stomach was full, I proceeded to my destination, the manufacturing area, and ght to work creating stupidly heavy gym equipment. The sort of equipment that will allow me tress faster in my agility, endurance, and strength training than the normal run-of-the-mill items that I'm entirely capped out on.

  But just as I was going to start making the ems for the training facility below, I noticed my capacitor supply was beginning to dwindle. So I rounded up several of my Worker Bots and had them go ahead and begin assembling another automated capaanufacturing mae.

  While my robots are taking care of that task, it's about time that I put my o the grindstone and got to work.

  ...

  After w for a few hours, I finished fabrig several maes, all of which my robots quickly transferred to the lowest level and assembled via the cargo elevator. Besides making those maes in these hours, I also made a whole assortment of extremely heavy-duty free weights and associated equipment. They ranged from pieces such as Olympic bars and curl bars to dumbbells, kettlebells, ptes, and everything else one could think of wasn't mae-reted, and thanks to their simplicity, I was able to out a ton of them.

  That should be enough gym equipment for now. Time for me to return upstairs and wake up Amata.

  With my fabrication work for the m pleted, I first took trol of the robots and turrets that were produced while I was asleep and busy in my workshop before I the upstairs. A short elevator ride ter, I arrived back at my and Amata's room and began the long and very arduous process of waking her up.

  "Amata, it's time to get up." I told her while nudging her arm gently.

  I repeated this two more times and ohird one she finally woke up, which was a halfway det improvement from yesterday's five.

  Right as I got her up, she proceeded to the bathroom and started getting ready for the likely eventful day that we had ahead of ourselves. Once she had taken care of her routine, we made our way down one floor via the elevator a up with the Hill brothers that were currently going to town on their m meal in the newly remodeled and renovated dining area on the sed floor.

  Followiing up with the three ghoul brothers we greeted them and shared a bit of banter between the five of us before we made some breakfast of our own and joihem at one of the several rge tables that were set up in the newly redone dining area.

  Wheook our seats at the table, all five of us chatted while we ate. And the minute everyone was done Hugo wandered off to the manufacturing area to help wherever he could like he was doing previously, while his brother Kevi off with some pep in his step to go tinue w on assembling the Chimera Tank. Which upon its pletion will me a det amount of exp.

  As for their brother Don, I told him to head on downstairs a suited up i-60 Power Armor set and grab himself a neon as well as some better equipment. However, as I was about to walk off with Amata to begin preparing, Don stopped me and asked me about what kind of equipment was avaible.

  After inf him of the sele of ons avaible, he was first amazed, almost stupefied, before he decided to grab himself an AER10 Laser Rifle as his primary on and a Gauss Rifle for situations that required increased oomph aration power. Other than those two ons, he also decided to equip himself with a belt of 12 MFC Grehat were basically less powerful psma grenades and a bat knife as his go to melee on.

  Now that Don was making his way downstairs to get geared up, Amata and I proceeded back upstairs to get geared up and prepared to head out to the Warringtoro Station as well. Upon reag our room, it took us all of around five mio get all of our usual loadouts equipped. And once we were going for our room's door to go downstairs to get on with our trip to the nearby metro, I held us up for a few moments to expand my gear loadout even further with the addition of 10 bottles of modified Buffout, which I've reo Buffout T-1.

  Besides the addition of my modified Buffout, I added 10 C-4 Pstic Explosive Bundles, and 20 Psma Greo my loadout that were now affixed to my power armor's war belt ready to be thrown at a moment's notice to create numerous as of psma. I also would've added a Gauss Rifle to my loadout like Don had, but I saw o when we would likely only be taking out ghouls on this excursion of ours and nothing too heavily armored.

  Though in the event that I o take out something heavily armored, I just use my new and improved semi-automatiti-material rifle to deal with it. Which I load with more powerful specialized ammunition if I need more armor peion and damage. And if that isn't enough, the mini-nuke bombardment I performed back at the Fairfax Ruins make a reappearance again for the unfortunate souls that are impeding my path to aplishing my goals.

  "Alright, that's everything. Let's make our way downstairs a up with Don and the robots." I told Amata.

  "Okay." She responded simply, sounding pumped to get and resume our adventure.

  Another brief elevator ride ter, we reached the main flain, so we exited it and made a beeline over to where Don and my robots were patiently waiting for us, ready to set out into the wastes. As soon as we reached them, I had everyone do a quick check to ehey weren't missing anything.

  Once we were 100% sure that we had everything we needed for our ing up job, I opehe massive bst door with Mechu-deru and took the lead into the wastend followed by my usual group of robots as well as a number of new additions those being my Mining Bots and a rge number of additional Worker Bots.

  The instant the st of my group had passed through the massive opening, I utilized Mechu-deru again and closed the bst door. And right as the door shut, I tried using my perk Metal Detector for the first time since I obtai. It took a bit of adjusting myself and trying out several different things, but I soon discovered many different deposits of ore buried at varyihs underground within a several mile radius around me. And thankfully there were a det number of them that were retively close by to my base.

  Sweet, there are a good number of deposits no more than a hundred meters from the facility. That said, they are a det depth underground, so I won't be gaining access to them for a while with my current capabilities. I guess I'm going to have to ramp up robot produ and make those upgrades to the robot produaes that I deyed when I was repairing the maes inally if I want to take advantage of those resources below any time soon.

  With a solid number of resources found and not wanting to miss out on the ce of potentially ing across additional valuable deposits on my travels, I dedicated one of my thought processes to specifically managial Detector. Finished assigning one of my thought processes to take care of that job, my group and I rouhe facility uhe wastend's gray clouded sky to the front parking lot, which was looking more and more barreime I saw it due to my robots chipping away at the junked rusted cars.

  From there, we departed the parking lot and hopped on the road and headed southbound for a short while. Once we came to an interse, I sed our surroundings for a brief couple of moments and only found abandoned, deteriorated houses and the usual rubble in the distance. So with no hostiles or dangers for us to deal with, I tinued leading the way forward, this time to the west.

  As we tinued our journey in the westward dire, we passed retively close by to the somewhat repaired Tenpenny Tower and as we were passing by I looked up and saw the old man Allistair Tenpenny on his penthouse baly with his .308 Sniper Rifle looking through his scope at my group.

  Hmm, I wonder if this Allistair Tenpenny is as evil as the one in the game... But seeing how he's sitting up there with his 7.62 Sniper Rifle, he probably is. Regardless, that's not my problem for now at least, unless he decides to pull the trigger on his sniper rifle, in which case I'll have to make a detour and deal with him. I holy wouldn't mind taking his fancy settlement from him for myself. It would be one hell of an upgrade to go from living in a formerly abandoned robot manufacturing facility to a luxury penthouse house in the sky instead.

  Following that thought of mine, we kept headi and then southwest minutes after that to the Warrington Station. And thankfully for Allistair Tenpenny, he wasn't dumb enough to take my group and me as practice targets for his wastend safari hunt. The old fart would've been in for a world of hurt had he done so.

  Just a heads up, I'm w on 3 different webnovels right now, so I'll be using chapter favorites, ratings, and other such things to gauge eople wao be w on. Meaning, whichever work is getting the most support through those means is probably the one most of my free time will be focused on.

  Also, I posted all the auxiliary information up on Patreon, so if you've been wanting to look up what certain perks do again, for instance, you find all the informatiohere without having to gh a bazillion chapters looking for certain perks effects.

  Shameless plug, I have a Patreon you read ahead and support my work on. It gives you access to every chapter I have written across all my works, including those I've yet to release, and the ability to vote in monthly polls that will determine what I'll be w on for a portion of that month.

  If that sounds like something you'd be ied in, you find the link for it in my bio and on the discord server. Also, I run chapter annous through the discord, so if you want to know when the chapter is out, you find out there.

  Up to date on Fallout Wastender? Looking for something else to read? Then go chey other work, Wastend queror, it's pretty simir to this.
