Chapter 48: Living Arrangements

  A brief 10 mier, we finally reached our destination.

  As we were ing into the parking lot, I said aloud to my group. "Alright everyone, we're finally here. Let's circle around to the bad see where everyone is going to stay."

  Following that, we circled around to where the loading area was located and as soon as we began nearing the massive bst doors; I had one of my worker bots that were ihe facility open them up for us.

  *Chirp...Chirp...Chirp...*

  *Grrrnnnd-*

  With the massive bst door settled into pce, we all streamed into the loading area. Ohe whole bunch of us had made it past the opening and were inside, I made Hauler park before I told the ghoul brothers Don, Hugo, and Kevin hop on out of Hauler's . Whehree of them stepped out and pheir feet onto the smooth crete floors of the loading area, they started looking around the area. As they tiaking in the sights, their expressions quickly shifted to awe, or what I interpreted to be as such, upon their rotted faces.

  The three of them stayed in that state for a few seds before I interrupted them from their stupor. "Not too bad of a setup, right?"

  "...No, you, in fact, have an unbelievable setup. I almost 't believe you have something like this in the current state of the world." Hugo responded after a moment before tinuing on further.

  "When yinally told us you had the foundation for your ambitious goals already prepared, I thought you were talking about the robots following you, not the small army robots I see you have here."

  As I was going to respond, he tinued again. "Oh, also if you don't mind me asking, what model are those robots? I don't ever recall seeing them back before the bombs fell. I meant to ask that yesterday, but I was distracted by the many things that were happening and taking pce that day." He asked, slightly excited.

  "Well, this is the very minimum I would o say that I have the foundation to possibly restart human civilization and bring bae normalcy to this fucked up world we now live in. Also, if I didn't have at least this, I would just be spouting nonsense and would be looked at as nothing more than a delusional individual." I responded before pausing for a sed and tinuing moments ter.

  "And as expected, my gut was corre suspeg that you three didn't fully believe me back then when I told you I had a foundation all setup and ready to go, which is uandable given the current state of things. But as you see right before your very eyes, I was in fact telling you brothers the truth, so hopefully with this, I've ear least a little bit of your trust."

  "I 't deny and say that we trusted what you were saying 100%, Harold. But we decided with the amount of force that you had with you that there robably some truth to what you were saying. Hence, we took a leap of faith to see if you were legit and, as you already stated, we see that you were telling the truth all along. So you got yourself three loyal men as long as you keep your word and help my bro save his girlfriend if she's still alive and if not, assist him in taking revenge on the ohat killed her, isn't that right brothers'." Don said, getting got a nod from both of his brothers.

  Immediately upon Don finishing his pied his brothers nodding in response, I responded. "I inally fot to do this previously, but let's shake on it and make this deal official."

  The moment I said that, Don stuck his hand out and since I was still in power armor, I exited my suit and gave his hand a firm shake, followed by Kevin's and Hugo's hands.

  "With that out of the way, it's time to answer your previous question from before Hugarding my worker bots."

  Hearing that, Hugo's exciteme up a level.

  "They aren't a model of robot that was made by any of the rge corporations prior to the nuclear annihition, they are a robot design that I personally created from the ground up not all that many years ago in the vault to handle most tasks that I would o have pleted. Ohat I myself didn't want to have to waste time on, such as stru jobs, a number of different menial bor jobs, and manufacturing jobs, just to name a few. And as you've seely, they are quite good at doing anything a human do. Any more questions?"

  "I got one more. How old did you say you were again?" Hugo asked with an odd facial expression.

  "I turned 16 this month. Why do you ask?" I responded.

  "Just making sure I heard yht the first time. I thought I may have been mistaken because how could a 16-year-old be capable of all this?" Hugo replied.

  "Well, as you've seen so far he isn't your average 16-year-old by any definition and I'm sure you probably have an idea of why that is if you've been living in the wastend for this amount of time." Amata said now also outside of her suit of power armor, implying that Hugo probably khe reason why I was so different pared to normal humans.

  "I have an idea of what you're talking about. I guess he must be one of those gifted or mutated humans that have been appearing on occasion sihe time the bombs fell." Hugo said.

  "Ding, ding, ding, yuess is right on the money. You got any further questions?" I said even though that's not the case, but I 't exactly go around telling people I have a system just because. And even if I did, I doubt many would know what that is nor believe me even if they knew what it was. On top of that, they're better off not knowing in the unlikely case they ever got caught they wouldn't be able to reveal it.

  Now that I'm thinking of it the only people who definitively know about the existeny system as of now are Amata, my dad James Watson Woods, and Amata's dad Alphonse Franky Almodovar due to the fact that I trust them and me being uo really pass it off as a gift or a mutation any longer...

  "No, that answered what I wao know. Thank you for hum me." Hugo responded as I was busy thinking about several different things and using Mechu-deru to see how the robots were doing with their assigned jobs.

  "No problem. I'm gd I was able to give you the answers you were seeking. Alright, now that that's over with, let me give you guys a tour of the base so you see the extent of what I've already done. And while we're expl the facility, we see where you guys want your rooms to be. Sounds good?"

  "Sounds good to me." Don answered whilst his two brothers nodded along in agreement.

  "Okay, let's first start off with the manufacturing area." I told them as I began walking off in the dire of the manufacturing area with a giddy aed Amata and a set of ghoul brothers with expet looks dispyed on their partially rotten faces in tow.

  ...

  It took two hours, but I eventually finished showing them most of the areas in the former RobCo facility and answered any questions that came up along the way. As a result of all that guiding, it was time for lunch, thus we gathered at Hauler, had lund filled up our tanks.

  Ohat meal was over and doh, I asked the ghoul brothers if they had finished deg ohey wao live in the base. Hearing my question, they started discussiween themselves and after a short bit; they decided to stay on the same floor as Amata and I, which was the topmost floor of the building, the third floor.

  With living arras settled for the ghouls and lunch finished, we collectively headed upstairs to see who will be going in whi. A tle elevator ride ter, we arrived at our desired floor with elevator doors opening up shortly thereafter. When they fully settled into the open position, I exited the elevator first, followed by everyone else. From there we went through the different rooms and when we were done going through them, for the most part, the three ghouls decided on each getting their own room, but all right o each other.

  As for Amata and I, we decided, or should I say she decided, that we should sleep in the same room and the reasoning she gave retty sensible, so I couldn't say no. However, I id down some ground rules such as nothing sexual will be taking ptil she was of age, something that will occur in a bit less than two years' time, specifically on July 26, her birthday. The sed I id down all the ground rules for us residing in the same space, she defted more than a wee bit.

  I was inally pnning on sleeping on separate beds, but I suppose I should promise slightly. She did just kill some humans today, although mutated ones... Haa, the things I got to do.

  "I'll promise with you here, Amata. We share the same bed, but if you try anything, I'll be bringing you straight back to Vault 101. Do I make myself clear?" I told her in a tohat clearly said I meant business.

  "Crystal." She answered in a now very upbeat and giddy tone of voice with even a sparkle in her eyes.

  With my fiancée fully recovered from a couple of moments ago, Amata, I, and several of my robots went tetting our room set up and into proper order, which was the rgest room oire third floor.

  From there we spent the couple of hours riding the elevator up and dowedly, retrieving all variety of things aing them up in the room like the king-sized bed I had loaded up in the back of Hauler. Once Amata was happy with the space, we had a room that was 2,500 square feet in size with a rge king sized bed that possessed more than enough space to fit the two of us.

  And two marks fhtstands that we currently didn't have on hand pced against the middle of the back wall that was lined with a number of metal ste tainers of varying sizes to store things such as armor, clothing, smaller ons, and the number of miseous items Amata and I brought with us from our inal home.

  Adding on to that, both Amata's and my power armor suits were retively close by to the bed just in case we ever had to hop on out of it quickly a suited up to fae sort of threat. Thankfully, Amata was the rational girl that she is if it was any other women from my previous life. Good fug luck getting them to agree to putting a suit of armor in the bedroom, let alowo suits of t power armor.

  As for where exactly they were located, I gave Amata the reins to choose the spot they should be pced since she likes that sort of thing. So she went around the room and had me move the armors into a number of spots before she settled on choosing to have them positioned right o two of the four structural pilrs in our room. Her reasoning for those exact spots was because that's where she thought they looked best...

  For the rest of the room, I took the left side while Amata took the right and what I did with my side of the room was set up basically a miniature armory with a whole assortment of ons mounted on the wall. However, that was not all. I also pced a number e metal tainers for st everything from ammo to meds to everything iween. I would have done more on my side, but we didn't have a rge amount of furniture nor a tube television to set up just yet, so that's all I could really do currently.

  For Amata's side of the room, she just went around and put down pieces of paper on the ground with what she wao put there written on them such as couches, different types of chairs, tables of varying sizes, pieces of artwork, and some other miseous things. When she was mostly doh what she wao do with her side, we talked about what else we needed and after a while we came to the clusion that we wanted a kit, a dining room, a living room, and an actual bathroom.

  Upon ing to that decision, Amata went back to her side of our spad removed what she had marked on the right of the room as soon as you entered inside, refigured, and remarked it for the kit. Following that, she rearranged her notes for a living room and dining room area towards the ter of the room. When she was doh all that jazz, she went to the bathroom and marked everything to be removed and to be refigured due to the fact that it really only had several sinks and stalls in varying states of disrepair.

  Finished doing just about everything we could currently, I assigned several of my worker bots to s out the front door of our room for a bst door. The moment I was done issuing that order, I sent a signal with Mechu-deru to two of my assaultrons to have them stationed outside our room to provide extra security.

  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.
