A small walk through the facility ter, I met up with the Hill brothers at the dining zone. "So, how'd you guys sleep st night?"

  "Great, it was the best sleep I've had iuries." Don replied.

  "Yeah, it retty good. I don't believe I've slept that well sihe bombs dropped and the world came to an end." Hugo agreed.

  "Mm, it sure beats sleeping out in the wastend on some rotten old beat-up mattress." Kevin added stly, nodding his head.

  "That's good. I'm gd all three of you were able to sleep so well." I replied.

  The bunch of us chattered on for a bit before I brought up what will be happening today. "Also, some things are going to ge. First off, I'm going to have several of my Worker Bots start adding bathrooms to your rooms, so you won't have to share the ohroom you three have been sharing near your rooms up to this point. As for when you expect it to be pleted, my robots should be done building one for each of your rooms by the end of the day."

  Seeing them looking mighty pleased to be getting their very own shitter, I tinued onto their ge in tasks for today. "And while that's going on, I'm going to have Don and Kevin begin work on assembling the ese Chimera Tank instead of having all three of you helping around the manufacturing area. Any questions?"

  "Not a one." Kevin replied, just happy to be getting his own personal bathroom.

  "I have no issue with that. I would actually much prefer to work on the Chimera tank in fact." Don responded right after his brother, Kevin, in his usual raspy and hoarse sounding ghoul voice.

  "Okay cool, now that that's out of the way, we discuss what will be happening tomorrow. Don, you'll be ing out with Amata aomorrow to clear out and take over the nearby Warringtoro Station, so expect to get into at least some bat tomorrow." I told the former military ghoul.

  "Finally." Don said excitedly with a somewhat violent and ferocious glint hiding within the depths of his aged, yellowed eyes.

  Turning to his two brothers . "As for your brothers, you two tinue w on your current tasks if you want, or you join us for tomorrow's excursion."

  "I'm fih staying and w in the manufacturing area." Hugo answered rather calmly.

  "Yeah, I would prefer to work on the Chimera tank if you don't mind." Kevin answered, somewhat hyped up more than likely because of the fact that he'll be w on one of the few vehicles that are still operational.

  "That's no problem." I replied.

  "Alright, with that settled, you guys enjoy your breakfast while I go head off to wake up my sleepiy." I said stly as I began walking off in the dire of the elevator. However, before I could begin proceeding to the elevator, the three ghoul brothers wished me good luy loot runs.

  Shortly thereafter, I arrived oopmost floor and headed for the bedroom my fiancée and I shared. Navigating through the hallways, I made it to the bst door that was being guarded by the two Assaultrons I had stationed outside of it a on inside and found Amata still soundly asleep.

  Striding over to her side of the bed I began attempting to wake her. "Amata, it's time to get up." I told her while shaking her gently.

  "Amata, it's time ..."

  I repeated that a few more times and after the fifth time, she finally opened her eyes while releasing a yawn of sorts and stretg her arms up above her head.

  "Good m, Harold." She said iypical bubbly voice with a bright smile pstered on her pretty face.

  "M sleepy head. Go on into the bathroom and take a shower so we head downstairs to get something to eat for breakfast."

  "Ohh, did the robots finish putting together the rest of the water purification system?" She asked excitedly.

  "They did, so go on in a yourself ed up. We have quite the busy day ahead of us." I responded while usherio the bathroom.

  But before I could get her all the way there, she paused, turned around, and asked me. " you lean down for a sed, I think I saw something on your face?"

  "Sure." Doing as I was told, I leaned down like she asked when and the hing I knew, Amata stole my lips before quickly scampering into the bathroom with slightly red cheeks.

  That little rascal is growing bold.

  "Amata, you know you could've just asked if that's what you wanted." I said loudly from outside the bathroom door.

  "Yeah, I know, but I wao do it this way." She returned cheekily from the opposite side with a slight giggle.

  "Alright then, enjoy your shower. I'm going to put my Shadow Armor on." I responded before turning around and walking off in the dire of where I stored my armor.

  Over 20 mier, Amata finally finished her shower aed the bathroom, freshened up with her hair and skin glistening uhe lights of our bedroom.

  As she was ing out, I couldn't help letting loose a whistle. "Well, aren't you a sight to behold." I ented, making her slightly embarrassed and putting a small smile on her face.

  Following that little ent of mine, we pyed and fooled around in our room for the several minutes aually made our way downstairs via the elevator to grab some breakfast that we'll surely be needing to fuel our three loot runs to the vault. The minute we reached the main floor, we left the elevator hand in hand and proceeded to the temporary eating area and began preparing breakfast.

  It didn't take us long to get everything ready, but o was, the two of us sat down and chatted about this and that as well as what we were going to be pig up ohird trip. Which, after a bit of discussion, will mostly sist of things that will be needed for the eai area, like skee ball maes, air hockey tables, and other eai reted maes and games.

  But besides acquiring games for the eai area, we'll also be pig up a number of items for the dining area and a plethora of materials needed for renovating more rooms for future residents that will be recruited iime. If I pn on carving out my own little piece of the wastend one day, I will most definitely be needing a talented group of individuals to assist me in that goal, hehey will heir own personal living quarters.

  When we finished eating breakfast and our versatiourned upstairs to our room and got geared up so we could begin transp the remainder of my shit bad forth from Vault 101. Immediately upon equipping our full loadouts, we went downstairs to the loadiion of the former RobCo Facility, where my usual squad was already waiting for us, ready to ve into the wastend.

  Meeting up with my usual group of robots, we moved to the massive bst door that I opened for us with Mechu-deru and tinued on through the massive opening, setting off into the wastend and beginning our loot runs bad forth from the vault.

  ...

  Many hours ter, we rouhe er of my base of operations out here in the wastes a moving until we arrived in front of the massive bst door that was currently sliding open for us. The sed it settled into p the open position, we proceeded inside, finally pleting our third and final loot run.

  "We're finally back. Good work everyone." I said aloud to my group, which received a variety of responses from my robots and a nod and somewhat exhausted sounding mm from Amata's power armor-covered head.

  Following our return home, I had my robots initiate the unloading procedures. So whilst they were busy transp the loot we brought back with us from our final trip to the warehouse area, I and Amata went upstairs via the elevator to remove our equipment a ourselves ed up. Stepping off the elevator once reached the top floor, we jouro our room i on enjoying a nice, hot, steamy shower.

  "You hop in the shower first." I told her as soon as I had my gear off and stowed away.

  "Thanks... You want to join me?"

  "Sigh, you know that isn't going to happen, Amata. You got awo years before that's oable."

  "...Well, it was worth a shot." She replied, stig her to me and making a face at me.

  Letting her go first, I waited patiently and in the process of doing so; I started going over what we entered on our loot runs.

  The trips bad forth weren't too bad and were pretty profitable overall in terms of exp at least. We met 5 Albino Radscorpions, 4 taurs, 3 Deathcws, 21 Giant Soldier Ants, 142 Giant Worker Ants, 21 Molerats, 7 Radroaches, 11 Radscorpions, and 17 Super Mutants on our three trips bad forth from the vault.

  Adding to that further, as we were ing back from our sed trip, my group and I entered a ype of Radroach, a Giant Radroach specifically which was surprisingly capable of flight and had the ability to spit acid from its mouth. The ype of Radroach might've been capable of more than that, but that was all I was able to discover before I dispatched it with my Mulcher gatling gun and tinued on with our jouro the facility with my voy.

  Besides entering that oddity, we also came into tact with a small group of 5 poorly equipped raiders that I had Amata dispatch so she could tio get used to killing and taking human lives.

  As I was finishing going over what we entered on our trips bad forth from Vault 101, I had one of my thought processes take over the robots and turrets that were produced while we were away. The moment they were all under my plete dominance, I assighe robots some work to do.

  That was to start renovating and putting together the dining area and begin transp the eai-reted items downstairs to the eai area located on level one of the basement. So we could begin putting them to use and do something else other work 24/7. Simultaneously, as I was going over and assigniasks for my robots to take care of, I tinued busying myself with my thoughts and managing my workers and other meical forces all across the facility.

  ...

  20-plus mier, my girl and I were all ed up, dressed, and ready to get some dinner.

  "Alright, let's head downstairs a some food, and hopefully, by the time we're doh dinner, my Worker Bots will have finished moving aing up a few of the maes for us to py with iertai area."I said.

  "I hope they do. It would be nice if we could py a few games befoing to bed... But before we go grab something to eat, I believe I'm deserving of a reward for w so hard today, don't you think so?" She responded, looking at me with an expet look.

  "Hmm, I don't know." I replied jokingly with a thoughtful expression dispyed on my face, which received a teary-eyed look from her.

  Keeping her in suspense for a few seds longer, I relented. "Now that I thought about it a bit more, I do believe you are right. e here for a sed, Amata."

  Immediately upon tellio e to me, she did so in an instant, looking forward to whatever reward I pn to give her with her glistening blue eyes locked to my own. With her standing right in front of me with her head raised to mine, I pced both of my hands on her slim but fit waist and leaned my head down toward hers and locked lips with hers. The instant our lips touched, I felt Amata lift her arms up and lock her hands behind my o extend the duration of this moment.

  We stayed like that for a bit before Amata started to bee a bit mgressive, so not wanting to let things go too far, I put ao it before she would provoke me to do something I would e tret. Drawing back, I saw Amata's eyes were a bit misted over, so I kept my hands ooned waist until she came back down to reality. The following moment she did, I saw the disappoi in her eyes, definitely because we didn't go any further.

  "Yeah, I know you're disappointed, Amata, but we 't go any further than this until we're both of age." I told her, further defting her.

  "But it's not that bad si will be a drastically better experience for the both of us when we finally do advance beyond this stage to the one." I added, infting her back up a bit.

  As she was about to open her mouth and respond, I leaned dowo her ear and whispered. "Though in the meantime, we do plenty of stuff like this and some other things to hold us over until that point." After whispering that st bit, I blew a wisp into her ear, startling her and making her ght red.

  Chug at her response, we spent a bit of time fooling around in our shared spad sooed from there, holding on to each other's hands and heading downstairs. Following a short ride, we arrived on the main floor, so we exited it ao the improvised eating area and prepared ourselves a sizable dio repce the calories we expended on our multiple excursions into the capital wastend.

  Half an hour ter we devoured our meal but my Worker Bots were still doing their thing, thus we stuck around there and talked about a variety of different topitil my workers were done moving aing up the games.

  Aen minutes passed when I saw they had fiheir job, so I brought it up. "Alright, they're doing it all up. Let's go."

  "Finally."

  Getting up from our seats, we made haste for the first underground level where the eai area was located and began having fun with the various games pced throughout the pce.

  The hour ent having fun, but when a full hour had e to pass, we decided yed enough and that it was time to hit the hay. Thus we beeli upstairs to our room. Not long after returning, we climbed into bed, cuddled up together, and talked for a short while before we both finally fell asleep.
