Diana's Nursery Paradise is not all so perfect as it seems, and there are a number of technical issues beyond the scope of her robots.

-The Geothermal Power Plant needs fixing. This has reduced the number of robots she can use
-The Robot production facility needs fixing
-There is a Hedge Maze full of carniverous plants that eat wildlife and natives.
-The Repository's power connection is down

Diana says of all places, she forbids you from entering the "Factory". The last time she allowed someone untrustworthy, it was a disaster. Similarly, the Train Station is also off limits.

Linux and her team are going to work on the Geothermal Power Plant. Your help is appreciated, but they think they can handle it.

>Go and help Linux with the Power Plant
>Go fight evil plants!
>Go chat it up with the tribals
>Go and converse to Diana some more
>Go/Sneak somewhere (Where?) [The Factory, the Repository, the Greenhouse, the Fenced off Area, the Train Station]
>Explore around. Collect plant and animal, samples
>Other?

>>1809126
Converse with Diana more now that Linux and her ilk are not here. We can properly introduce ourself, tell about our growing nation and other powers in the region. Talk about mutants and ghouls, let's get a feel what she thinks about them.

Depending on how the conversation goes, we can talk about our insane technical, robotic and computer powers. How we built ZAX and other wonders.

Talk about actual evil gods and star father

>Go and converse to Diana some more

We can trust the Reavers to not fuck anything up and hopefully they'll all die and we can keep this place a secret.

Meanwhile we've got to explain in greater detail our plan / situation to Diana.

>>1809126

Also talk about our ideals and the vision for future, the steps we took towards them and the ones which will take in near future.
Share our book with her.

Tell her that her problems are paltry tasks that our nation could easily fix. Not only can we fix her facilities, we could build brand new ones.

Also talk about aliens.

>>1809164
We should probably mention what the BOS / Reaver-cult would do to not only her but her people.

We should also point out our technical superiority and the fact that she doesn't have to make a decision yet. She can make herself an independent ally of the BOS for now or even remain neutral entirely.


Then we conquer the Legion, create massive industrial complexes and convert her to our side by point out our massive resources and how we share the goal of ecological preservation.

"Yes, Paladin Courier, what is it you wish to speak?"

>You
[I had to wait until the others were away. You see, in as much as I am with the Brotherhood of Steel, I am also part of another group. The Phoenix Commonwealth.

In fact, I am there leader. I wanted to speak to you more freely away from their ears.]

>Diana
"Hmph! Then you are just like Caesar's scouts. Disguising themselves as traders, merchants, or simple messengers but all the while deceiving.

Why should I trust what you have to say?"

>>1809174
I hate your suspicious rolls

>>1809177
Is this a prompt for us to write something or are you still writing?

>>1809179
Still writing

I just had an Idea, once we have power armour (Even very basic) production set up, we should look into making PA for our Super Mutants. We can then equip Marcus in such a set and send him out to find more super mutants and bring them back. We should also look into augments for them, but that is only eventually

>>1809177
>why shouldn't you be open with all of your secrets infront of other people
>The robot is retarded.

I swear to god if she turns into a cunt. We need to rip her out and just take the parts.

>>1809188
Hell, Power Armoured Super Mutants could even work as WH40K Thunder warriors or proto space marines

>>1809188
Most definitely. In fact we should build them up scaled version of the armor that our troops have now

Oh sir, I forgot. We should also tell Diana about the evil plants in Texas and Elijah

>>1809177
You try to explain your situation. You are the leader of a resurgent America, trying to establish new, better society out in the wasteland.

You are surrounded by other hostile powers, the NCR with its hatred of tribalism and demand that people civilize or die. The Legion, whom they have already met. The MLA, naught but viscious gangs of raiders and ne'erdowells.

And the Brotherhood, with its hatred of mutants and Ghouls.

Your America seeks to learn from the lessons of the past, to avoid future nuclear holocaust, and uses the most advanced sciences and technologies to better the lives of all.

Diana listens, and speaks.

>Diana
"Kind words and sweet givings, but so too did the Legion attempt to win us first through logic and reason.

I was right not to have trusted them then. What cause should I have to trust you.

Twice you have shown me insincerity. Sneaking into my chambers, and now, you seek to betray those who believe you to be comrade. They are out there assisting me, even now I see them working to repair the Power Plant.

You are here to sway me to a nations cause. Not only did you lack the wisdom to come here alone, where I might have believed you, but you have also revealed myself to yet another power. For now I fear that you have brought conflict down upon my head."

>Uh oh. That didn't go as planned.
>Hrmmm, you weren't expecting this. What do I do now.

>>1809198
Agreed. Also cranial implants ala Bone'eds from warhammer would be needed going forward.

>>1809204
What do?

>>1809221
Also at any time you can always just go ham and try to hack and take over.

You suspect that for now it should be relatively easy.

>>1809221
Honestly I feel like this entire thing is fucked. She'll tell the BoS know sense they are actually helpping her unlike us who...just stood around to talk? For some stupid reason and share everything

>>1809227
>You
(Hmmm. This looks bad, but she isn't trying to shoot me so that's a good thing. Seems to be a major issue of lack of trust. Probably trauma from having the Legion burn and enslave everything)

>>1809232
What's the most important thing she needs fixed that needs supplies from the outside world? Let's just go prove our point and fix it.

>>1809204
"Twice I have shown reason. I don't intend to betray the Brotherhood, for all I may disagree with them, anytime soon. As to not coming here alone, to be frank I was expecting to be going into some old-world ruin infested with every manner of danger. Made sense to bring some backup just in case. This is before mentioning your accusation against me for sneaking into your chambers. As if that is such a horrible thing to do when you are supposed to be on a stealth mission. The simple fact is that I had no reason to risk myself or those with me who I'd point out didn't exactly complain at this decision.

Lastly you accuse me of bringing conflict down on your head. These BOS members want to avoid you being discovered by the MLA and Legion, something we can all agree to. Just tell them you want to remain neutral or independent and they will most likely respect that and if not I can attempt to convince them to be silent to the BOS seeing as you aren't the objective of the mission and have not only been helpful but are a sacred object of their religion.

Fact is that if things go to plan, then in a few years the entire Legion shall be subsumed into my nation and we shall share a border. We can discuss matters then.


For now I would point out that I can do just as much as the Reavers if not more, I merely wanted to explain the situation to you in more detail and more honestly. Fact is that this conversation has only taken a few minutes and I can't imagine them making insane progress in that time."

Good enough fellow anons?


>>1809224
How would we be taking over? Disabling her control? Killing her?

>>1809234
I'd suggest clearing out the death plants and then catching up with Linux.

>>1809204
>Not only did you lack the wisdom to come here alone, where I might have believed you, but you have also revealed myself to yet another power.

What a weird thing to be angry about. We were sent here by BoS for a scouting mission. She says these things as if we knew she existed before we took this mission. For all we knew, we were just looking for another Vault and from our experiences Vaults usually end in some disaster and become horror shows for explorers. No reason to believe this would have been different.
BoS or any other faction would have found out about her sooner or later. Especially NCR with their air superiority.

Also, why is she comparing us to Legion? Do the Legion scouts just come up and tell her who they really are?
We already explained her why we snuck around. We have enough experience in the wasteland to know that most everything just attacks on sight, so we were being cautious.

>>1809204
"Betray? No. I am merely introducing myself as another representative of another faction. I admire the BoS intentions which is why I had joined in the past before I became a leader of a nation. I work with them as to change them from the inside and to perhaps loosen their views on the nature on mutants. I would hardly call establishing diplomatic ties betrayal."

Anons can add & change whatever.

>>1809239
>Do the Legion scouts just come up and tell her who they really are?
Sometimes.

Frumentarii usually operate in two ways, up front and being open ambassadors to Caesar, and subtley.

It depends on if they find out that they dont have any previous ideas on the Legion.

>>1809204
>Not only did you lack the wisdom to come here alone, where I might have believed you, but you have also revealed myself to yet another power. For now I fear that you have brought conflict down upon my head.
"You are mistaken, i haven't brought any conflict down on your head it was always there, for you are between 3 factions and the BoS wishes to keep you away from the hands of the other 2, a decision i support. Also the BoS were aware of you before me, i had only heard about this location from the BoS who offered me a fair deal in exchange for a quest, a quest i could have refused to join and they would have come to you anyway, i did not lead them here, merely accompanied them."

>>1809236
>How would we be taking over? Disabling her control? Killing her?
All viable options.

You even consider you could steal her Brain and probably bend it to your will with some apt cybernetics. Alternatively, replace her Brain with someone else you trust.

>>1809236
>Fact is that if things go to plan, then in a few years the entire Legion shall be subsumed into my nation and we shall share a border. We can discuss matters then.

Get rid of this. But everything else seems pretty good.

>>1809232
The fact that we are honest with her should make her think a bit. Reavers and BoS are already a massive superpower. Understandably we are a bit unwilling to reveal all of our cards to them as they might demand we share our ridiculously advanced tech and facilities.

Diana on the other hand has been pushed back by men in skirts and swords. So we are not afraid she would become a threat anytime soon. That is why we are laying out all the cards and explaining our situation to her in the hopes we can get her under our wing.

Frankly we have the absolute best understanding in robotics, AI and human/computer hybrids around maybe in the entire world. We can benefit from each other much more than she can benefit from any other faction. The reavers come close but they are religious fanatics not really understanding the tech they use

Tell her one of the main reasons why we are not fully open with BoS because they believe that a sizeable population of our nation should be genocided just because of who they are.

>>1809250
I agree.

At this point the NCR is more likely to take over Legion. We haven't had any offensives against them ever since we fled to Big Mt

>>1809252
>The reavers come close but they are religious fanatics not really understanding the tech they use
Hmmm, you consider you might want to actually test this theory. From what you saw in the Brotherhood they actually have a very good understanding of technology, if mired in religious symbolism. What they seem to lack is highly advanced technological means like you discovered in BigMT.

Every now and then you wonder. Are there other gigantic Old World research centers besides BigMT and this "Commonwealth Institute?"

It's been 5 years and now at last you can go exploring. It feels like America might have more mountains of science than Big Mountain.

>>1809249
Good to know.

>>1809250
Fair enough.

>>1809252
Not to mention that we've seen nothing in her beliefs that is objectionable to us. Plus we are advancing technological far more than the BOS and can promise her equal rights to any other sapient being (I assume AI's are going to be legally equal to humans in our society, right?).

Plus, we can also promise her access to our gene-bank to fix any mistakes or lost samples in hers.

>>1809261
"Which include one of my wives and her child."

>>1809265
Finally we have in-character, confirmed wanderlust reasoning to go to the Commonwealth.

After we've dealt with a few more things, it'll be done.

>>1809266
>I assume AI's are going to be legally equal to humans in our society, right?
Well, ever since you discovered that Brains can be disonnected from their body after you found your lobotomized Officer, the Brain had been discussing the idea of "Brain Rights"

>>1809271
The Commonwealth Institute was mentioned several times, but its probably perhaps the furthest away. Furthermore Barnaky hasn't granted Aerial access across his territory to you yet.

>>1809271
Speaking of wanderlust.

I suggest we set up a trade caravan with Cass as the leader.

>>1809274
Which states and territory does Barnaky occupy?

>>1809274
Didn't we know that brains can be disconnected from bodies? Our brain told us that if our body dies it will continue on living

>>1809282
Disconnected as in the body still alive, rather than killed.

>>1809240
>>1809250
>>1809270
Support.
>>1809232
>>1809204
Would now be a good time for a diplomatic roll? We could use that boost.

>>1809274
>Well, ever since you discovered that Brains can be disonnected from their body after you found your lobotomized Officer, the Brain had been discussing the idea of "Brain Rights"
We should probably grant them equal rights.

>The Commonwealth Institute was mentioned several times, but its probably perhaps the furthest away.
True but it's the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

>Furthermore Barnaky hasn't granted Aerial access across his territory to you yet.
Well we can certainly ask for it or join the D.C BOS on their mission.

>>1809276
Eh, just tell her she's head of foreign trade / imports & exports.

>>1809265
Eh, we're still better. Linux was almost ready to fall on her knees and worship Diana especially since Diana refers to herself as goddess.
They talk about email going into spam as if some computer god is unhappy with them instead of knowing what actually happens.
Anyway, they might be good but they are still far behind. I mean how many other factions can build their own ZAX?

>>1809286
I'd rather save it for convincing the BOS Reavers to be quiet if it comes to it.

>>1809288
>Eh, just tell her she's head of foreign trade / imports & exports.
That wouldn't fix her wanderlust.

>>1809289
You know, it's interesting thoughts like these that make me really wish you guys also decided to be sneering imperialists heh

>>1809297
True but I have a differnet solution for that. We should take her, Raul and a few of our other good companions to the Commonwealth to help us secure shit. We can also deal with it by deploying her and our other companions to fight the Legion when the time comes since she'll get to travel and shit.

>>1809286
You mean boon? Let's not.

I feel we can get Diana trust us without burning it. Like OP said she just had ptsd from Legion

>>1809298
We are sneering imperialists. We just don't worry about petty shit or assume superiority.

>>1809286
>Would now be a good time for a diplomatic roll?
>>1809292
>>1809301
No. I'm talking about rolling for diplomacy or dialogue. It only boosts us unless it's a crit fail, then that's another story. I figured we haven't rolled for dialogue yet because we don't want to get a crit fail.

>>1809298
We will get there one day. First our military power should be greater or at least equal to all major factions around. Then we can look down on plebs who refuse to give up their brains to become better versions of themselves.

>>1809302
It also explains why the Courier is a bit skeptical on most religions in general.

He is a man of science after all. Spreading his Imperial[/spoier] truth

>>1809305
Well, you roll then.

>>1809305
>>1809319
Please no rolling.

I need to go do some chores, I wil be back soon about an hour. Please link to any dialogue or actions you wish to do.

>>1809322
These >>1809236, >>1809239, >>1809240, >>1809247, >>1809270.

>>1809325
Yep. This works

>>1809325
supporting

>>1809325
>>1809286
>>1809250
Remember to avoid mentioning imperialism or direct intentions to go to war at the moment, Diana doesn't seem to want to get involved in any of this business.
Otherwise, I support most of this.

>>1809321
Alright. When do you think would be a good time for rolling?

>>1809335
>Alright. When do you think would be a good time for rolling?
Whenever QM asks for it, i don't want to take chances.

>>1809336
Guess it's a bit late for that now.

You catch up with the Skirmii. In the hours you were away (as you had to make sure they were at the Thermal Plant first) they've been very busy.

They had already begun to assess the various dangerous elements, scanning with advanced optics and modified V.A.T.S. to survey for threats.

Mostly giant snakes, which seemed to thrive off the nearby steamvents.

Linux had set up on a high position, and used her heavily modified M72 Gauss Rail. This one has a barrel extension almost a half longer, with stronger electromagnetic coils. Very heavy and with a longer barrel, rather than being reloaded with Microfusion coils, it is attached to a very large Microfusion Pack on her back. Several mechanical arms have extended, both supporting her body and holding the gun midair with machine like precision and stability.

Her electronic eyes have attached to the high performance optics of the weapon, which fires not by the pull of a trigger but by alignment of the scope to target at just the right computer calculated moment.

The incredible recoil from the augmented gun is almost negated as it flows from her mechanical limbs into the stone rock behind her. Covering her body her robes seem to morph into the very color of the stone, serving as excellent camoflague, and she's very clearly able to hold her breath for long periods of time.

In all, she is almost literally a sniping machine, and her accuracy is on par with your own as dozens and of snakes lay dead.

---

Her team meanwhile, have already assessed the damage to the structure and have begun repairs accordingly as you listen in on the radio.

You help Debian repair the Vault Floor using your expert repair skills, and also your strength to help push away giant boulders and massive debris while Debian welds the floor in place with multiple limbs.

You notice he has both an Arc Welder attached to one arm, and in the other, what is unmistakably a LAER like weapon both of which he uses to mend the cracks in the floor.

Debian can't but help observe you carry huge amounts of weight.

"You are wise. This is indeed based upon Laser Assisted Electric Rifle. The weapon was invented by Vault Tec before the war, and we had discovered them in one of their vaults. We have adapted it for repairs, but it is useful against the agents of Satansoft. "Rogue Robots" as the non-believers call them."

You suppose its not surprising. There are lots of fancy Old World weapons out there always being discovered and some already well known and in circulation, like the Gauss Rifle, Pulse Rifles, Heavy Lasers. Vault Tec.

With the both of you working, the Resevoir floor is repaired and you climb up out of the pit as the water flows back in.

>Debian

"Good. Re-initiating the geothermal systems now. Electrical Father bless us as we add to the Current Flow."

But only after checking if they want to continue onto the Vault which was our original goal / the one she gave us the location of. If they want to all come, we can eliminate them there without Diana seeing and get more tech (and possibly some things to fix this place) while we are there. If not, then we can start bumping them off now.

>>1810620
The killing in general.

>>1810628
Why? Elimination of them prevents discovery by the BOS of the Nursery and seeing as she ain't going to attract attention to her hide-away, we can be certain that the BOS will leave her be until they've taken the region and her one of her main complaints was that we revealed her existence to another state.

Still I respect that she'd probably object to us killing our fellows and shit but we can always injure ourselves on the way back from the Vault to make it seem real.

Linux and her crew go to deal with restoring power to the Repository, while you say you'll handle the plants at the garden.

Meanwhile, you use this time to gather many different types of plans and animals samples you've never before.

What interests you a lot is the fruit. There are more fruit here than even spoken off in the old grocery store catalogs.

A large majority of them are poisonous or irritating, but thanks to your survival skills you learn how to avoid them. But a good number of them are tasty and sweet!

You've even found bananas! Real bananas just like the picutre! The small yellow ones are sweet and soft delicious like you've never tasted before. The big green ones are hard like potato's, but cooked over a fire they become soft and warm and good.

You fill up your belly and then some with fruits and tastes you never even imagined possible. This will be wonderous when you return to BigMT and try to replicate them with Salient Green and have the BCR regrow them.

Next you try to catalog all the animals you see here. You really don't know the names for some of these, big one-headed brahmin with curly horns; long fast things with four legs, a long neck and face, and hair growing on the back of their neck with a long tail; giant fat round creatures with huge mouths that huddle in rivers and mud; VERY fast things that look like giant cats with yellow and brown spotted fur.

They have all kinds of shouts and noises and roars and you feel yourself almost overwhelmed. Not even Zion had this much wildlife. Birds seem to make entire swarms among trees, and legions of insects buzz around, though mercifully most don't sting.

Some of your followers would love it here.

You suddenly also find yourself staring down a giant animal. This one is big, with four legs, and a huge head and two giant ears which it flares. It has a long nose like a vaccuum cleaner, which it trumpets too as its big feet stomp the ground and it bares its horns at you.

You can tell right away its meaning to charge.

Where this a Yaoi Gui or a Death Claw you have several options. Vaporize it with a Tesla Beaton, Blow it to Smithereens with a Missile Launcher, gun it down with machine guns.

But, thinking that you ought not to kill what might be one of the last of its species in the world, you take a less lethal approach.

You stomp your two feet on the ground, shout at the top of your voice, and challenge it in full bodie armor!

The beast begins to charge forward, and you press your legs and do the same, both of your heavy masses running at full speed as you raise your arms. You collide with the giant thing at full force, stopping both of you in your tracks, your feet digging into the earth as the creature shrieks in anger and confusion, clearly not expecting to be hit by the equivalent of a human brick wall. With huge strength you push the thing backward, putting one foot in front of the other, as the big beast rears its legs and stumbles.

You step back as the creature gets up and flees, knocking trees and branches out of the way.

We should begin building 2 additional solar farms next turn and then one by one upgrade them into large solar farms.
Also don't forget to pick up a missionary on the way home.

>>1810961
We should focus on taking over the military base. We can hold on until we get the power plants in the divide.

>>1810961
No. We should continue full steam ahead to get the 2nd construction action. ZAX will takle the energy problem when it comes to it.

>>1810967
The 2nd construction action won't work without energy.

>>1810984
But there is construction we can do that doesn't take much, like the engineering HQ

>>1810922
So a thought occurs to me in regards to our plan to expand into the Legion: we have the potential for air superiority and yet haven't taken advantage of it fully.

We should look into airdropped combat robots with short range, melee and other such weapons. So we can perform combat drops into Legion positions disrupting their formations and allowing us to assault their leaders by literally dropping from (fairly high) above. As well as allowing rapid reinforcements of positions.

>>1810965
>>1810961
Construction of a single additional solar farm of the same size as our current one would allow us to upgrade the previous but might not provide sufficient power for massive robotic expansion.

>>1810967
True, we can get more power if it comes down to it by instituting power rationing, turning off non-critical robots like some of the spy-eyes and such. However more solar farms is advisable longer term.

>>1810993
It takes an action, and action better suited for building solar farms.

>>1810997
It is not advisable to spend actions on solar when we're close to acquiring better sources of power. It's effectively wasted actions.

>>1811023
Which sources of power?

>>1811021
It's an action needed to get the second engineering action. The sooner we get on that, the better.

>>1811023
Wasted implies that we gain nothing from it. Cold fusion still needs water which is something we have a very real limit on.

Plus we are quite far from having secured that god damn EMP-missile filled base.

>>1811027
The cold fusion in the military base with the emp rockets. SOmething is powering it, so we once we capture it, we can hook it up to the city for a big boost. We would also surely get the plans to build more

>>1811031
Our solar plants take water too. So it would be better to use the water for the more efficient power source.

>>1811030
>The sooner we get on that, the better.
Incorrect, without power we can't use the 2nd construction action, we must build extra solar farms first.
>>1811037
And how do you plan to capture it?
Also i remind you our digger bots/vehicles are still just prototypes, they need more research on them which means more time.

>>1811042
Actually they take salt water, salt water from the salt lake in Trona.

>>1811047
We haven't peaked yet, so we are capable of getting what is needed for the second action without getting more power. 10% capacity goes a long way when it's an HQ and a garage needed.

We only need 1 tunneling transport, and we drop of a team in the control building, disable the defenses and march in. We can do that in the couple turns it takes to build a solar tower.

>>1811060
No they don't. It takes normal water. We aren't shipping anything out of Trona.

>>1811093
I am very certain they use salt water.

The trees were carniverous. The vines were carniverous. The bushes were carniverous. The goddamn flowers were carniverous.

The whole fucking maze was a giant eating thing that spat acid or had pit holes.

This thing had to go, luckily fire beats plant and you used your incinerator to bathe the place in fire from long range.

You're sure Diana will understand. Her robots don't seem to attack you,in fact they go in to collect some fallen robot bodies.

As the maze burns, you see you notice you are being stealthily observed by a few tribals hiding in the bushes.

You finish incinerating the maze, leaving behind the biggest and meanest of them, a giant moving tree.

You throw down your weapon, point at the tree, and rush forward and begin pummeling it with your fists.

Your hands start carving craters into the bark as the monster roars in rage, trying to swipe and strike you down, only for you to grab its branches and swing and break them down, beating the tree to death with its own wood. Finally, after half an hour of fighting, its branches broken, vines split, and the fight left out of it, you pick up the massive thing with both hands, squat carrying it to an open field, where you focus all your huge strength as your muscles strain and body sweats and rend the tree in two, exposing its open heart which stops beating.

Triumphant you stand atop the hulk of the beast, and do a celebratory dance.

Apparently this impresses the tribals enough to step foward.

Yes

I would think our energy use we have right now after all that building is in the 90ish%. So we're going to have to build some solar plants when this turn is up.

Men with spears and women without spears approach. They are dressed in a mixture of both Old World outfits and woven plant and animal material, honestly like every single tribal in the world as far as you know. Though from how lightly armed they are and from the manner in which they approach you can tell that they are armed for hunting, not warfare. Especially since they bring their women with them.

"Hello Courier. Thank you for clearing the cursed place.

We are children of the Twin Mothers tribe. Once when we were small children, we lived with our parents in the outside world. Our tribe was big then, and our parents traded with other outsiders. It was hot, and dry, and not so green but our parents farmed the land and the Mother made it grow green.

Then bad men came. Men in metal armor, and red clothing. The Legion. Mother knew to send us away to the Nursery, to hide us, while our parents fought to give us time to flee.

We miss our parents, they are dead now, but they live in the world beyond this world. We live here now, with mother, protected from the dangers of the outside and the Legion. She raised us like she raised our parents when they lived in 'Vault'. Teaches us how to live with nature, to hunt what we need and no more, what is safe and what is not safe, and what is good and what is bad.

We have never seen an outsider since the day of flight. Mother sealed away the machine tunnel."

You notice that everyone of them is similarly aged, and there are few older men or women among them.

Once again, they've been busy there, fighting off some rogue mutant monsters successfully and then restoring power.

You get the feeling these guys explore vaults on a regular basis.

You find an Old World Super Tranq Gun.

This device is able to scan an unarmored target for any suitable veins or weak spots and vital signs, as well as calculate mass and weight, and fires a highly calibrated super potent nerve blocking agent.

The tranquilizer ammo it fires is highly advanced. Rather than relying on a dart which may not penetrate hard bone or surfaces, it fires a heavy dart which uses prongs and super sticky glue to latch onto a target, and then injects the right dosage of tranquilizer into a vein via a tiny laser injector.

The gun can calculate the vital signs of a target to show just how much is needed to subdue it and keep it alive. This thing seems capable of knocking even you out!

Ignoring it's use in policing actions as well as biological / ecological science, it would also prove a useful weapon for capturing our enemies alive for conversion into TACTs and preventing enemy civilians from resisting our advance.


We should also advise Diana to maintain her neutrality as much as she can with the BOS and that we'd like to take back any technologies she'd be willing to share to our people.


After this is done we are going to go secure the Texas BOS shit, gather more of their PA, their weapons, their salvage and so on. For reverse engineering and for trade to other people.

I still think taking the machine over is our best move. It has no love for us, the Reavers worship it and promise godhood among them so they are inclined to side with them. Not to mention that if the BoS set up shop we lose any chance of capture without war. We can fly in with our ship, stealth our way in again (maybe prepare the way while we are here?) and take control of the system. Whether we install a new brain (?) or ship it off to BigMT (which is frankly the better choice) we can decide it ourselves without the other powers knowing. And if we want to resettle the tribals we have "goddess" tell them its superduper livin with us, then educate and propaganda them into loyal citizens, since they are one of the few people wholly unawareof the world outside. Prime reeducation candidates.

I'd like to try and settle this without doing that sort of shit. But if it comes down to it I'll support such actions, so long as we don't kill her.

Why do we want to take over this valley again...?

It is far away from our nation and only filled with a few people.

Sure it has a nice environment, but the real prize is the tech and the pre-war genetic information.

We already have most of that genetic info from just walking around, and we have 1/3 pieces of tech already - is potentially getting into a conflict with the Midwestern BoS worth it to claim this place?

With a bit more work, we can basically recreate it back at BigMT.

>>1813149
Well, it's an additional ZAX, AI, robot factory, plus the various pre-war designs / techs she has for those and such.

Fact is that based off of the description of this place in game, it's a technological and ecological masterpiece. An exact replica of the entire north american biosphere either in existence or storage and entirely self-sustaining. A miracle of pre-war technology, ability and ingenuity.


Primarily we want to keep the BOS from getting her support so that we can have her support when we eliminate the Legion and thus gain a land border with her.

>>1813155
Point is, we steal ZAX and tech. The valley is of no consequence, the reavers can have it. Also, why even keep this AI alive? It is obviously buggy, referring to itself as a goddess and mother. Take the tech, take the hardware and wipe the bitch.

Arent Zax computers the same size as a building?

>Point is, we steal ZAX and tech. The valley is of no consequence, the reavers can have it.
The valley represents a pristine pre-war environment, with advanced technology and industry in a location that is unknown to any of our enemies (including the BOS depending on if they have connection to their internet currently, seeing as we can eliminate them before a signal is sent).

>Also, why even keep this AI alive?
It's a 200+ year old ZAX-type AI specialising in all biological sciences and a bunch of other things seeing as it's survived this long.

>It is obviously buggy, referring to itself as a goddess and mother. Take the tech, take the hardware and wipe the bitch.
That is a falsehood. We know why it does that and we know it is aware it ain't a god or a mother.

>>1813170
It's human/ZAX hybrid. It is something else than normal ZAX.

I'd rather we keep diplomatic approach. Get Unity here as a diplomat. They are both similar in character.

Diana gives you a way to contact her via her personal satellite.

Diana's mood changes after you ask her about the GECK.

"There was one such other who asked me for a GECK from my factory. When I denied it to him, for I saw he had ill goals in mind, he stole it from me.

I saw that the power of the GECK could be misused for a terrible evil. Once it was my dream to cleanse the world of radiation and let it blossom with GECKs from my factory.

I will not hand them out so lightly. Only upon them whose people I trust to spread life to mankind, not death, and use them for noble means will I even consider such a thing again.

But, you Brotherhood of Steel are already on that path."

"I assure you Goddess, the Brotherhood will do all it can to prove itself worthy."

Well shit.

Mercifully, and to your great thanks, Diana gives you the path to a secret backdoor water entrance that leads out into the river. You put on your rebreather mask and dive in, exiting back into the open desert where you find a MUCH better place in the ravine to climb your way out of.

And you begin the long treck back to the Brotherhood of Steel.
