Chapter 39: Power Armor

  Date Tuesday, August 24th, 2275

  The very day.

  I woke up as usual, checked out the situation of my home via all the robots and turrets I had trol of all across the pce.

  Everything appears to be going well, and we didn't have any unwanted visitors too, so that's good.

  Staying in my makeshift bedroom in Hauler's for a while longer, I got up and began taking care of my hygiene. After going through my m routine, I prepared something to eat, filled my tank, and took a walk through my home physically to see how things were progressing with my own eyes.

  ...

  It took me a good while to walk a majority of the facility, but once I had I saw my robotic workforce had the whole facility ed up from top to bottom. So, with that task pleted, I assighe up crew to start reinf the building and to repce all the windows with armored ptes. It would've been o repce them with gss so I could actually look out from inside. However, I have no way of repg the gss windows for one, and two even if I could, I wouldn't because they would present a security vulnerability.

  Adding on to that, if I or Amata want something simir or parable to a window ter on, I just have my robots install ss where the windows were previously and cameras oerior of the building. Those two pieces of tebined would allow us to look outside from within without redug the building's defenses.

  The minute I was done assigning my worker bots their asks, I headed over to the manufacturing area and tinued my work from the previous night. But before I set off, I sent out a signal with Mechu-deru to have any newly produced worker bots to start the produ and assembly of more automated ammo manufacturing maes. So I could get ammo produ ramped up to 1,000,000 rounds a day.

  Following that, I spent the 6 hours fabrig and strug my new set of power armor. The suit ended up looking like an amalgamation of a X-01 power armor suit and a Mk X Power Armor suit from Warhammer 40K with an enrged version of my Exterminator Helmet with some additional upgrades.

  I really k out of the park with this one armor set.

  | Annihitor Power Armor |Resistances: DT 500, Radiatioance 100S.P.E.C.I.A.L.: +8 Strength, +2 PerceptionSkill: +50 Energy ons, +50 Explosives, +50 Guns, +25 Medie, +150 Sneak, +50 SurvivalCss: HeavyWeight: 2,000Value: 1,000,000Item Description: A rge jet bck power armor that took inspiration from the X-01 Power Armor of Fallout and the Mark X Power Armor of Warhammer 40K and a scaled-up version of the designer's Exterminator Helmet. The armor features heavy armor pting all across that is heavier than any previous known power armor iterations known in the Fallout world. This armor is entirely made up of an advanced metal alloy, making the weight of this design heavier than any other power armor sets by a signifit margin. This suit features a set of spiked pauldrons and shins for close bat, eleagic shielding over every poo prevent the armor from being disabled by emp onry, a -built heavily armored fusion breeder reactor, electrified spiked gauhat either stun a target or disable them permaly, an ied stealth field that turn the user invisible, a built in nuclear propulsiopack, a war belt with many magic attach points to hold all sorts of onry, ammo, and other such things, magic soles that be toggled as the user wishes, a specially designed weight dispersion system, a chemical iion system, and stly a standard power armor frame that was enrged and beefed up to fit its creator and support the ra heavy armor. In addition to those already impressive features, the power armor helmet tains all the features its predecessor had, such as the air/gas filter, ied rangefiurret targeting modules, voice modution module, and night and thermal vision. Though all the features listed have all been enhao a certain degree. But aside from those, the power armor helmet also has a few new additions, those being the addition of a rebreather, an ied encrypted radio, and an AI assistant that administer chemical aid at a moment's notice. Designed by Harold Todd Woods.

  I added and upgraded all I could for the moment, given my current knowledge base and fabrication and manufacturing capabilities. That said, as soon as I introduce lithography maes into this world, I'll be able to make even more upgrades to this monster of a power armor suit. Sadly, that won't be happening for a while here since I still o obtain a few things before I start making them. I'm also going to o have a room built for it ahead of time so I immediately get right into chip produ.

  More than happy with how my personal suit turned out, my stomach made it known that it was time to eat.

  Looks like it's that time again.

  Hungry, I wandered back to Hauler and began whipping up lunch.

  ...

  Ahh, that was a solid meal.

  Alright, I better get back to work. I still have a lot that o get done, like making a sed smaller suit of Annihitor Power Armor for Amata. And after that suit is ready, I'm going to design and produe better under armor that we'll be able to wear ihe power armor frames.

  As for what kind of under armor I have in mind, I think I'll just make something simir to the ese Stealth Suits sihey have stealth capabilities and are already on the slim side. So they should have no issue fitting inside a power armor frame and providing a means of esg if we o bail out of the suits. But besides all that, I'll be sure to add additional armor to the suits wherever I fit it, along with a few other miseous improvements.

  With my stomach full, I got up auro the manufacturing area to tinue fabrig the power armor set that will be used by Amata. By the time I reached my destination, my worker bots assigo the manufacturing area just finished bringing another automated ammunition manufacturing mae online, increasing my total ammo produ capacity by an additional 100,000 rounds a day. So before I got to work, I used Mechu-deru oomated ammo manufacturing mae and took trol of it.

  Things are ing along o say the least.

  Satisfied with how much progress was being made, I went on my way auro grinding away at my assigs.

  ...

  Around 5 hours ter, I fihe st bit of work that o be done on Amata's power armetting up from my crouched position, I took a step bad eyed the armor standing in front of me.

  | Phoenix Power Armor |Resistances: DT 300, Radiatioance 100S.P.E.C.I.A.L.: +5 Strength, +3 PerceptionSkill: +50 Energy ons, +50 Explosives, +50 Guns, +25 Medie, +150 Sneak, +50 SurvivalCss: HeavyWeight: 1,200Value: 650,000Item Description: The Phoenix Power Armor is a rge, mainly jet bck power armor with crimson ats and a phoenix motif. This set shares many of the features the Annihitor Power Armor possesses and is designed very simirly. With that said, this suit leans more on the feminine side in appearand has a differe that takes after a felih ears oop of the helmet to enhance hearing. That specific feature is designed with the user's safety in mind so in the event that the user would experience damagingly loud hat could potentially ihe user's ears, the sound transmitted to the wearer will be muffled to prevent any soued injury from to the user. So other than the different style of helmet meant to enhance hearing, this power armor suit shares all the same features as the Annihitor Power Armor just scaled down for a female. Designed by Harold Todd Woods for Amata Ashlen Almodovar.

  Even though it's smaller, has lower stats, and less armor than mine, Amata should be more than satisfied with what I made her.

  Following the pletion of her power armor, I spent the hour w on my stealth armor and as soon as that hour had passed; I paused my work then there and got up to go grab some dinner.

  H up that meal, I finished my dinner ao go workout by filling my iory with metal and enabling the weight to be felt via my will. So, after w out my body by doing all sorts of body exercises, I emptied my iory and gave everyone ba Vault 101 a ring to see how they were doing.

  *Ring... Ring... Ring... Katcha*

  "How are you making it out there, kid?"

  "Not too bad, father-in-w. How's things in the vault?"

  "Well, you know, same old, same old."

  The two of us talked about various subjects before I told him I would be dropping by tomorrow.

  "Oh, what time do you think you'll be rolling by?"

  "I don't really have a time in mind, but I pn oing on the road early. So I'll just give you guys a call when I'm at the cave entrance."

  "Alright sounds good, son. Make sure you prioritize your safety above all else. You only have one life after all."

  "I will."

  From that point, we covered a couple more topics before I said my goodbyes and wished him a good night.

  Now that my daily call was over, I got a few things in order and proceeded back over to the manufacturing area to resume work on my stealth armor.

  ...

  About an hour in, I had finished work on it and the stats it ended up having were not too shabby for an armor I only really made just to be used inside power armor.

  | Shadow Armor |Resistances: DT 50S.P.E.C.I.A.L.: +1 AgilitySkills: +150 SneakCss: MediumWeight: 50Value: 49,000Item Description: A slim, pitch bck armored stealth suit with an ied stealth field based on a bination of the ese Stealth Armor and Stealth Boy designs that was then improved upon by the armor's creator. Making the armor pletely invisible to the humahe armor's stealth teology is powered by a single microfusion breeder cell. Designed by Harold Todd Woods.

  This armored stealth suit is pretty sweet. It has det armor values and exceptional stealth capabilities that are eveer than a ese Stealth Suit. They're so good in fact that if I ever o abandon my power armor which I don't think I'll ever o given my power armor's stats that I'll be able to slip away with ease. Due to it having the ability to turn the wearer invisible to the point that even I 't detect it with my enhanced eagle eye vision, so that's saying something. But that's what happens when you bine ese Stealth Suit teology with Stealth Boy tech.

  With my under armor finished, I began w on Amata's o and after a little more than an hour's time; I had her shadow armor ready to go in around half the time it took to make my own. That was only possible because this was my sed time making it and hers was much smaller pared to my own Shadow Armor by quite a lot.

  Moving on from the Shadow Armor, I think I'll upgrade my AER 18 LMG . It is due for an upgrade, so might as well do now while I'm on a crafting spree. And when I'm done overhauling it, I'll make a new melee on and whatever time I have left after pleting that I use on adding emp shielding to the other power armor suits. So they'll no longer be susceptible to pulse onry iure.

  ...

  Time quickly flew by from then and when I looked at a clock again, I saw several hours had passed.

  Shit, time sure flies by when you're having fun.

  In this period I mao overhaul my AER 18 LMG, whided up being a different oo me going a bit nuts with the modding and redesigning. I had also just finished creating my rept fuillotine a few seds ago to go along with that and the stats both ons had were a substantial upgrade from the ons they were repg.

  | AER 29 LMG |Damage: 80DPS: 2,000Fire rate: 1,500 ( be set to semi)Weight: 28Ammo Type: Microfusion Breeder CellValue: 29,500Attats: ted Red Dot Sight, Laser Sight, Variable Zoom Scope, Vertical Frip, on SlingItem Description: A rge double-barreled ser light mae gun based on the AER 18 LMG that was then modified and upgraded with beefier barrels, improved microfusion breeder cells, hardier materials, rails for mounting attats, and a toggle to ge the ser beam from a visible red to an invisible infrared ser. Designed by Harold Todd Woods.

  | Severance |Damage: VariableDPS: VariableRPM: 10,000 - 30,000Weight: 450Value: 25,000Item Description: A massive 6-foot long two-handed sword that has a 5-foot long, 1-foot wide, and 3-inch thick double-sided sword bde with rge hardened saw teeth installed to rip and tear while also being powered by a single microfusion breeder cell that is installed he on's foot long hahis on cleave through steel like a hot khrough butter, but one has to be able to hahe on's weight for that to even be possible. Designed by Harold Todd Woods.

  I think I'll upgrade my bat knives and when those two have undergone an upgrade I'll see how my robots are doing with the tasks I assighem.

  Still full of energy, I spent a short amount of time making 2 new bdes out of the advanced alloy I discovered a short while ago via my sd repair skills increasing. The instant I had the new bdes made out of the advanced alloy, I fabricated some spiked knuckles to go along with the two bdes.

  Finished making all the required parts, I sed out the inal bdes and put them off to the side before I then ied the new advanced alloy bdes into the existing handles. After that, I attached the spiked knuckles to the handles of the bat knives, and finally, when all the parts were in pce, I checked the stats of my new ko see how I did.

  | ando Knife |Damage: 43DPS: VariableWeight: 2Value: 1,350Item Description: A 18-inch hardened advanced alloy bat kh spiked knuckles around the handle of the knife for whether the wielder wants to slice, stab, or bash.

  "Not bad at all. They're definitely an upgrade from what I was using previously." I thought aloud.

  Spending a couple more seds looking the stats over, I sed my primary focus over to my robots that I was ected to with Mechu-deru and checked their progress.

  What I saw through their vision was my robots verting the power pnts in the basement from fusion to fusion breeder. Looking elsewhere, I saw the ongoing stru of an indrowing area that, from my estimations, should be able to produce 10 tons worth of food every time the crops are harvested.

  I'm definitely going to need a massive freezer to be able to hold that amount of food. Hmm, I think I'll just have the robots currently w on food produ start stru of a huge walk-in freezer ohey've pleted their current stru job.

  As soon as I was done queueing up several more tasks for my robots to handle, I checked my other robots' progress and saw that they were all progressing nicely with their currently assigned jobs. So seeing nothing that needed my attention or direct ht, I headed to bed a bit earlier than usual since I wao get to vault 101 as early as possible tomorrow to have some extra time to spend with everyone.
