The day I awoke from my sleep feeling well-rested and more than recovered from the previous day's affairs. Pumped to begin my day, I checked the time on my trusty Pip-Boy 3000 to see how many hours I would be w with till everyoually wakes up.

  's only 2:07 AM. That should give me plenty of time to work on some things in the facility before Amata gets up and we head for the vault again today to finish the st three trips bad forth. But before I get up and start getting ready to head downstairs to the first floor, I gotta see how my robots did during the night whilst I was asleep.

  Upon pleting that thought, I utilized my ever-increasing number of thought processes and checked up on my robots and the many maes and meical structs I had total trol over. Moments ter into the process, I got an overall view of what took pd what I discovered was that my workforce had fihe stru of the water purification system and the jumbo walk-in freezer ssh refrigerator.

  Great, with the pletion of the water purification system, we'll now no longer have to be entirely reliant upon the vault and grow our own food. And that's not all. I'll also be able to begin cultivating the many modified pnts I used in my drug synthesis produ back at the vault. The very same ones I used to produce my modified Buffout, Med-x, Radaway, and Stimpaks.

  Along with those bes, our access to running water now means Amata and I actually start properly using our bathroom. Which will also elimihe need for us to make trips back to the vault to load up on non irradiated water for ing and drinking.

  As for the walk-in bo freezer and refrigerator, that big guy will allow us to store all the food we will iably produce when it es time to harvest the crops. That said, the cold space has its limits, thus we'll eventually have that thing filled, although that won't happen for quite some time,

  heless, when it does indeed occur, I'll just try to sell it off the excess to the nearby Tenpenny Tower. And if not them, I'm sure some of the other wastelements like Megaton, Rivet City, and terbury ons would be more than happy to take the goods off my hands. I probably make a det profit from the trade whether that be as caps, scrap or some other kind of resource.

  Besides those two projects being pleted, my guys finished assembling the automated on magazine manufacturing mae as well. Which had produced a number of freshly made magazines for the 5mm Miniguns and several other ons I had in my arsenal.

  Even though there is still much that o be done before I aplish my goals in this life, I'm heless ing ever closer, oep at a time.

  Happy to have woken up to such good news, I reassigned a small portion of the freed up workforce to the hydroponics to begin farming and sowing seeds. As for the rest of them, I distributed them across a few of my ongoing projects, specifically the version of the existing fusion power pnts to fusion breeder that was still ongoing, the revamping/remodeling of the dining area, and the stru of arc furnaces and arc kilns.

  Which I'll be needing in a minute here for the processing of raw materials that I'll be obtaining via mining and the scraping of more junked vehicles that are just sitting around the wastend colleg rust.

  Following my che on my robots' progress and assigniasks for them to plete, I briefly used my retly obtained ability Ghost to get out of Amata's hold of me and got off of the bed. From there, I walked to the bathroom and hopped into the new shower to test it out and enjoy letting the water run over me.

  ...

  God knows how many minutes in, as I was finishing up my shower, a thought occurred to me.

  You know what I feel like taking a bath and since I've gotten a ton doly; I think I'm more than deserving of a little bit of me-time.

  Taking a short break for myself, I headed over to the big ass tub we had installed and turned o water, releasing a tinuous stream of fresh water from the tub's faucet with not a hint of inants in sight. After several minutes of waiting for it to fill it was finally done, so I turhat faucet off, stepped in, and got fortable.

  "Ahh, that hits the spot." I thought aloud euphorically whilst the water spilled out and over the sides of the tub.

  As I sat there rexing i water, my mind wao what I was going to do and what ways I could utilize to further hasten my already fast progress.

  Now that I got a moment to myself to rex, I use this short break I have until I o head back to the grindstoo pn out some of what I want to aplish this m. And while I'm at it, I'll see if I 't e up with some ideas to improve my progress even further.

  The first thing I want to start chipping away at when I head downstairs is ging my A-21 Anti-Material Rifle's bolt a over to a semi-automatic a. The bolt a no longer makes any seo have since my stats are more than capable of keeping the on locked in pd on target even if I fire the whole 10 round magazine in short succession.

  As for how long the version will take, it shouldn't require all that much time, given that I now have a fully automated on manufacturing mae that essentially handle all the milling and other processes for me.

  When I have the new design fabricated and in hand, I'll look into designing several heavier ons to make when we're done expl and clearing out the nearby metro station. An even rger anti-material rifle doesn't sound too bad and I think this time I'm going to make a 20mm so I'll be able to take er and sturdier mutants more effitly like Mirelurk Queens, Radscorpion Queens, and Super Mutant Behemoths without having to resort to throwing mini them.

  On top of that, the rifle will allow me to take out targets from even further rahan my A-21 Anti-Material Rifle would allow. It'll also be able to take an even wider sele of loads when pared to 50 cal that I'll be able to make use of to deal with all sorts of situations.

  Following the pletion of the 20mm anti-material rifle, I'm going to set my sights on designing a gauss minigun with six barrels, a variable fire rate of 1,000 to 6,000 rpm that is trolled by a dial just like my Mulcher gatling gun... Other than those features I'll spare no expense and implement drastically better coils aronito the on's design pared to auss onry to improve the on's various funs and performance.

  Hmm, what else I add... Well, seeing how all my gatling type designs all share backpack magazines or power units, this gauss minigun design shouldn't miss out thus it will also be receiving it. That will ehat I have the ability to take out literal hoards of armored hostiles easily and effitly, like anyone wearing power armor such as the not so friendly brotherhood of steel Outcasts and Encve, for example.

  The sed I've pleted the gauss minigun design, I'll begin w on designing a belt-fed gauss mae guhat will have a fire rate of around 1,200 rounds a minute. And as soon as I have that design drawn up, I'll move on to design a psma minigun. Once I'm finished with all those designs, I'll begin w on drawing up two new robots specced out for bat with what little time I'll have left after all of that on designing.

  Moving onto my ideas to improve my already fast progress rate, I haven't done anything with Mentats, the intelligenhang drug thus far. So I see about adjusting the chemical structure of the pound to rid it of its ive side effects. Such as its addictivehat was added to the chem so it would get their users hooked to increase sales for Med-Tek.

  And while I'm messing around with the formu, I'll o figure out how to make the perma intelligence bonus adolest youths receive from taking the drug perma across all ages. I don't know how difficult that will be to figure out, but my stats are already leagues above what normal humans would be able to possess, therefore it shouldn't be all that difficult to do.

  That said, the main time-ing part will be modifying the pnts that will be required to produce the pounds and actually growing them. So I shouldn't expect to see any real results from this until at least a month ter when I begin harvesting.

  ...

  After going over everything in my head again, that should be all I get done before Amata gets up... Time to go back to rexing for a while longer.

  Sometime ter, I rose from the tub and rinsed myself off with a cold shower.

  I'm so gd we decided to add this huge tub, I'll definitely have to add this to my regimen going forward si seems to rex and lesseension in my muscles.

  From my cold shower, I went and took care of the rest of my daily hygiene needs, heading downstairs via the elevator to our improvised eating area. While I was taking the elevator down, I took trol of the new robots and turrets that were produced during the night.

  Taking care of that business swiftly, I arrived on the main floor and proceeded to the improvised eating area. The sed I did, I wasted not even a sed and began preparing a meal and o was hot and ready; I hoovered it down. Done having my fill of a high-protein meal, I made my way over to my workshop located in the manufacturing portion of the facility and ght to work on the projects I wao get done.

  ...

  Hours passed as I busily worked on my multiple projects and when I aplished just about everything, I wao get done for the m, I noticed what time it was.

  Damn, it's 7:03 already... Time sure flies by when you're having fun.

  With it being that when everyos up, I paused my work there and began going over it while I waited for Amata and the ghoul brothers to e down. What I obtained for my efforts first off was a new and improved anti-material rifle.

  | A-22 Anti-Material Rifle |Damage: 120DPS: VariableFire rate: Semi-AutomaticCapacity: 8, 10Reload: 2.5Weight: 25Ammo Type: .50 BMGValue: 15,900Attats: Bipod, Laser sight, Suppressor, Night/Thermal Variable Zoom Scope, Vertical Frip, on SlingItem Description: This on is a 50 caliber A-21 Anti-Material Rifle that was redesigo be semi-automatid in the process of the redesign, the designer decided to make several additions to it to improve the on even further. Those additions include a quad rail for attag different attats, a mounting point for a bipod, a heavier barrel for sustained fire, improved rifling for better accuracy, and mounting points for a on sling. Designed by Harold Todd Woods.

  In addition to that, I gained several new designs for ons and robots that will provide quite a substantial upgrade to my overall capabilities and firepower ohey go into produ. But that will have to wait till I have a det amount of resources flowing in sistently. Which will happen as soon as I find a det amount of resource deposits within the earth to mine and process.

  But in the event that I 't reach them immediately or within a short period I'll have to resort to trading with the local settlements and scraping the nearly unlimited wrecked vehicles around the wastend to keep up with my current resource expenditure that will tinuously grow as time goes on.

  Along with those aplishments, I made headway with the Mentats formu by modifying the chemical structure. From the modifications I made, it should have removed its addictiveness, the various neurological disorders that it causes to different people when they overuse the drug, and the other known undesirable side effects. Besides making those ges, I also found out art of the chemical structure of the pound roviding perma intelligencreases in adolests and modified it so it would provide those very same bes to any human, no matter their age.

  Other than that, I also geically modified some pnt seeds I had on hand with one of my specialized maes ahem off with my Worker Bots to sow alongside the rest of the pnts we'll be growing.

  And from my work on the drug, I even got the sudden bright idea of pursuing research regarding the possibility of increasing the intelligence of other creatures through the use of the drug. However, after thinking about it for several seds and weighing the pros and s of su idea at the time, I decided against it.

  This was because it would be a hell of a lot easier to just simply geically modify a creature and make it smarter that way than it was to try to increase their overall intelligence via the use s over a long period that would more than likely require years exposure and training.

  ...

  Looking ba things, I sure got a ton dohis m. heless, let me go over everything again to make sure that I didn't fet anything important and that there are no issues with any of the designs I came up with over these st several hours.

  As I went over my work, the Hill brothers eventually woke up and began making their way downstairs. So I finished up what I was doing and proceeded over to the improvised cafeteria to meet up with them and chat with them for a few minutes before I head upstairs to wake up Amata and begin our loot runs bad forth from Vault 101.

  There will be another release tomorrow.

  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.
