tinuing on our way, we ter arrived in the general area of Warrington Station.

  "You guys stay here. I'm going to check things out." I told my squad.

  "Sure." Amata responded.

  "Whatever you say, boss man." Don replied in his typical rough, ghoulified voice.

  Having my group hold up while I iigated things, I walked over to the metro statiorao see if it was locked. The sed the metro's entrance appeared within my vision, I saw that the gate was indeed locked, although via a and a padlock.

  I guess Roy Phillips and his group are living here. That's going to ge how I'm going to approach clearing out this metro slightly.

  Pretty sure that Roy Phillips and his group were inhabiting the Warrington Station, I returo my group. "Alright, guys, ge of pns. We're going to head over to the nearby Warrington Trainyard first and clear that out of any hostiles. When we've pletely cleared the trainyard of all hostiles, we'll proceed into the metro tunnels and clear out whatever hostiles we exist inside."

  "That said, keep an eye while ing the pce out, so you don't take out any sane ghouls if we enter any by ce. I'd much rather not decrease the old world human popution if I help it."

  "Sounds like a pn, Harold. I'll be sure to avoid dispatg any of my kind if we enter any. But if they start attag, that's going right out the window." Don responded, while Amata nodded her head.

  "Of course." I aowledged.

  Upon finishing our brief versation, we immediately moved over to the nearby Warrington Trainyard. And right as we were ing up on it, I sed the area and saw that there were a number of feral ghouls residing within the railyard itself, as well as a few dotting the surrounding area of the pce. Finding hostiles that needed eliminating already, I kept sing the area for a couple more moments to see if I could spot any ghouls with intelligence amongst them and to note down the locations and numbers of the ferals.

  Once I was finally sure there was no intelligent life among them, I informed my two panions of the situation. "We got a number of ferals up ahead and there don't appear to be any normal ghouls among them. But as I said previously, try not to kill any normal ghouls if we do end up entering any while we're clearing the trainyard and the ected metro tunnels."

  "I'll be sure to keep my eyes peeled." Amata replied seriously.

  "Roger that." Don responded.

  After receiving both Amata and Don's aowledgment, I raised my gatling ser Purge, spooled its barrels, and took the lead again. Ing ever closer to the poor unaware bastards, I waited till we were close enough before I initiated the ser light show. That was followed shortly thereafter by numerous screeg feral ghouls, which came p out from all across the trainyard and the general surroundings towards our location.

  Not letting up, my Amata and Don joined in, along with my robotic forces.

  *Bzzzt-Bzzzt-Bzzzt-*

  ...

  Half an hour from when I first initiated the battle, my squad and finished clearing the trainyard in its ey and mao kill off a total of 108 feral ghouls, which sisted of 79 regur Feral Ghouls, 24 Feral Ghoul Roamers, and 5 Feral Ghoul Reavers. Of those ghouls my panions, Amata and Don took out 17 normal ferals and 5 roamers, all of which I didn't earn a single point of experience from sadly. Other than the 100-plus feral ghouls we took care of, my robots found and dispatched 26 Radroaches as well as 5 Radscorpions that were hiding around the area.

  "Good job, everyone. Now that we have removed all the ferals and other unwanted critters from the Warrington Trainyard, let's make our way into the metro tunnels and start clearing it out." I told my group.

  Receiving varied responses from my robots and a nod from Amata's power armor-covered head, Don piped up in an upbeat tone, appearing to be in a drastically improved mood pared to when I stuck him with his brothers in the manufacturiion. "Alright the's head on in." Don responded in an

  Following our up of the railyard, we pressed oo one of the nearby metro tuhat were currently being blocked by the rge metal gates they were known to have in the games. When we reached them, I approached the maintenance door located on the right side of the train tunnel's entrance. Getting closer and closer to the door, it entered within range of my stantly improving and expanding perception field and, as soon as it did, I instantly noticed that the door was unlocked.

  Aww, that's a bummer. I was kind of hoping that it would be locked, so I could earn a few extra experience points for myself.

  Unfortunately, uo obtain some easy exp, I he door whilst paying attention to what was entering my perception field from ihe metro's maintenance corridor. Not notig anything that could be potentially dangerous or pose some sort of threat to me or thht on my six from within iro tuself, including the corridor oher side of the door, I opehe already unlocked door.

  What came into view was a dark, retively long poured crete corridor in not too bad of shape for being as old as it was with all manner of pipes running jutting out from the grayish walls. Besides the solid state the corridor was in, there was a humaon wearing peared to be the remnants of a green military uniform lying on the floor of the corridor. And right o the humaon was a standard R91 Assault Rifle, 5 30 Round R91 Assault Rifle Magazines, 156 5.56 rounds, and 3 Frag Grenades.

  Fog on the skeleton and the walls of the corridor a bit more, I noticed that the skull of the skeleton had a hole located at the top of its skull. The sed I discovered that, I looked up above the skeleton and saw blotches of very old, dark red stains sptter across the ceiling.

  Looks like the guy offed himself when the bombs were in the process of being dropped or had already detonated making the area outside uninhabitable... Holy 't bme the guy, I probably would've dohe same if I was in the same situation of being stuside a metro tunnel with no real way to survive and no future to look forward to.

  Finished looking around the corridor, I stepped into it, relinquished the skeleton of its loot, and began slowly making my way deeper into the corridor, with the rest of my group trailing behind me except for my rger robots. Which sisted of Hauler, the Loading Bots, and my Sentry Bots, sihey were too wide to fit through the maintenance corridor's doorway. Hence, I had them hold their position and secure the area around the tunnels' entrance while we went in to take over and handle business.

  Pressing on without our heavy support, my group and I tinued on into the dark and dreary hall until I arrived at the only way forward, that being another unlocked maintenance door. So with it being the only way to reach the interior, I extended my power armor-covered hand out, gave the door's hawist, and proceeded to crack it open and peek my head out to see what was further dowunnel beyond the range of my senses.

  Immediately upon stig my head through the cracked opening, I saw a dark deterioratiro tuhat sloped down below surface level and split off further ahead into three different dires with two side-by-side tracks heading northeast likely passing by my facility and two side-by-side tracks going southwest probably passing through the Warrington Station terminal and ptform. As for the st two side-by-side tracks, they went off to the south, heading out of the D.C. area leading to god knows where.

  Other than that, I found that the tunnel artially lit by what little sunlight mao push its way through the gray clouded sky and through the metal gate blog the tuself. The metro tunnel was also lit up by the occasional industrial light that was somehow still funing all these years ter. Though a great majority of them weren't pletely dim and weren't funing any longer, unfortunately, so that will be ahing I'll have to repewhere down the line.

  Other than repg and fixing all the metro tunnel lights, I'm going to have to redo all the rails as well, because their current designs will certainly interfere with my rger robots' movements through the tunnels sihey are above-ground rails. And since if I'm going to be redoing all the rails at some point and iing them into the floors of the tunnels, I might as well expand the tunnels further and add additional spa both sides of the rails for my robots and vehicles to move throughout the tunnels unhihat will make it so they don't get in the way of the trains when they are doing their thing of moving bad forth on the rails.

  Remaining cautious of the ever present dahat existed here in the wastend, I observed the metro tunnel for five seds loo see if anything would pop out and make an appearance. However, nothing did, heurned bad said. "There doesn't appear to be any ghouls withiunnel, from what I see, but there will probably be some further into the tunnel ahead, so let's get on in and clear the vermin out."

  After receiving a variety of affirmations from everyone, I led the ushed into the tunnel, with those behind me following my lead closely. As I kept leading the way forward into the darkness of the metro tunnel, we kept desding further and further till we eventually reached the point iunnel where it split off into three different dires. And the moment we did, I checked the other two tuhat didn't head for the Warrington Station. What I discovered from the initial survey was that the two tunnels were unfortunately blocked by cave-ins.

  Haa, the tuhat passes by my pce is blocked. Of fug course it is. I was really hoping they wouldn't be in such a state, but it is what it is. I suppose I'll be needing that extra robot produ now.

  Done cheg out those two, I began heading off to check the only tuhat hadn't colpsed ao the Warrington Station and once I rouhe er I saw a sizable swarm of feral ghouls spread throughout the dark metro tunnel.

  With hostiles to dispat sight, I turned back towards and waved for both Amata and Don to e near and right as they did; I reyed to them in a hushed voice that wouldn't be detected by the ferals that id further ahead. "Okay, we got feral ghouls up ahead to clear. Time to get to work."

  Having made them aware of what was right ahead of us, I took the frontmost position as per usual. As soon as we were set up and ready to take them out, I began the sughter by letting loose a lengthy spray of ser fire courtesy of my gatling ser Purge. That burst of mine was then followed up by Amata's, Don's, and the rest of our forces' ser fire, as well as a plethora of Feral Ghoul screeg that echoed across the tunnel.

  *Brrrrrrzt-Brrrzt-Brrrrrzt-*

  *Bzzt-Bzzt-Bzzt-*

  *eh-HAA-eh-HAA-eh-HAA-*

  While the ferals in this se of the tunnel began charging toward our location, we culled their numbers a doing so as the seds passed by. After my group and I spent the st two minutes sending out a huge amount of ser fire, we finally finished sughtering the rest of the remaining ghouls that came charging at us. And of that group of ghouls, my robots and I killed off 93 Feral Ghouls, 21 Feral Ghoul Roamers, and 3 Feral Ghoul Reavers.

  Now that we finished eliminating that group from the wastend, all of us tinued forward in our spread-out formation in case we came across another horde of brainless, aggressive zombies. Shortly thereafter, we ran into anroup of ferals further dowro tuhat immediately spotted us.

  The instant the first feral let out a screech, we restarted the ser light show again and shredded that ghoul's head as another wave of enemies came st at us.

  ...

  This fight took us slightly more than 3 mio clear this group of ferals due to their numbers being rger tha. On top of there being a couple of trains in the way that provided cover for them as they closed the distaween us and them. As for the number of ghouls that my robots were able to kill off from that group, we were able to bag 137 regur ghouls, 38 roamers, and 7 reavers.

  Seeing that we had killed the st of them off, I had everyone perform a quick che their equipment to ehat there were no issues. As soon as everyone had made sure that all of their equipment was in perfect funing order, we tinued onward cautiously into the depths whilst remaining in our formation in preparation for any more feral ghoul enters.

  On our jouro the Warrington Station, we came in tact with yet another 3 feral ghoul groups, all of which we quickly dispatched with ruthless efficy. When we finally got done dealing with the st of them, my robots and I mao sughter 305 Feral Ghouls, 133 Feral Ghoul Roamers, and 18 Feral Ghoul Reavers ing me a shit ton of exp.
