The so-called "disturbing a few days" is really just "a few days". Leeds and the others hardly have enough time to catch up with their old friends such as James, Elder Lane, Sarah, Dr. Lee, etc., and they are about to embark on the road to the West Coast. .
Of course, this is not because Krausa is in such a bad mood that he needs to find the enemy to kill him immediately. In fact, Brother Soldier is in a very happy mood when he comes to the wasteland, and the problem on his side can be regarded as "solved". The real reason is that the Brotherhood of Steel has a diplomatic team heading west, and today is their planned departure day. Leeds, who don't want to run off their own legs, naturally want to hitch a ride... It's a [hitch ride], it's not wrong in other worlds. It needs to be emphasized, but it has to be mentioned in this unique wasteland.
With the influence of Leeds about three years ago, some people from the Brotherhood of Steel finally got out of the weapons research and development project and turned to repairing the many pre-war nuclear-powered cars that were left in the ruins of Washington but have always been regarded as garbage. . This kind of vehicle, which is suspended on the road with some technology like the Enclave eyeball robot, is quite suitable for use on wasteland with poor road conditions. Nuclear power is also suitable for long-distance travel. Protecting their own car in the ferocious and ruthless wasteland - after the destruction of the Enclave, the Brotherhood of Steel only barely had this confidence.
But in any case, driving this hatred to the West Coast within a week is always safer than running a group of people on foot for more than a month. As a diplomatic team, it is natural to choose a method with a higher safety factor.
Oh, I forgot to mention, Leeds and the others had this kind of diplomatic team just after they returned to the Wasteland Brotherhood of Steel. It couldn't be considered a "coincidence", it was related to the "content of prayer" when Leeds crossed.
"Although I've positioned you as 'going west'," Liz, who was clearly sitting in a car, but had the illusion of a speedboat because of the levitation technology, said to Pool, who was in the front passenger seat, "but I didn't expect it would be In this case... you don't even wait for the birth of the child?"
"Sarah's due date is still far away..." Poole wearing power armor replied in a weird voice... Unlike Leeds and the others, he naturally wore power armor wherever he went without a "backpack" system.
"Boy, do you know what I mean, or is it that the 'intelligence' of the former wasteland scholar has declined now?" Liz scolded angrily.
"… I know this journey is dangerous." Yes, time is not the problem, the problem is whether or not to return.
Agents of the Brotherhood of Steel defeated the Enclave with the most powerful technology in the Wasteland, but it didn't mean that they really dominated the entire Wasteland. After becoming a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, Poole knew that there was a small but strong technical force hidden in the Boston area. An organization called [Academy].
Wearing mighty power armor doesn't mean you are invincible in the world. The murderous death claws, the scattered Enclave troops who live in the world, the super mutants who always have heavy weapons... In the end, a group of gangsters frantically gather fire with the advantage of numbers. It can teach you how to be a human being.
Therefore, it is necessary to clearly realize that the sphere of influence that can truly be regarded as the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel is only "Washington, D.C.", and the operation in the past three years is only to add a suffix of "and its surrounding areas". Once out of this range, no one can predict what the future path will be like.
"But... I think it's best for me to do this in the D.C. fraternity." Why didn't Pool want to wait to see the birth of the child? But for this reason, he felt very bad whether to delay this important official business for a few months, or to send someone who could not understand Elder Ryan's thoughts to complete the task.
Maybe at this time, Poole was in the same mood as James that day. For the ideal in his heart, even his favorite child could only be placed second with tears.
"...it's because of this same spirit as James that I'm sure you'll be 'going west' one day...whatever the reason." Liz sighed, which is why he didn't "airborne" directly to the west coast one.
"?" James didn't know that he led the entire research team of Rivet City, and Poole didn't know that he led the Brotherhood of Steel to a new path. He was great and didn't know it, he was probably such a person.
"Forget it, I think you will go back well~" The big deal is to help yourself as a bodyguard, and it is not unacceptable to regard this as the "main mission" of this journey. Of course, the main mission of Ada and Leon is still "find a stealth suit" ", "Then again, we don't know anything about the content of your diplomatic activities, even if you go to the West Coast to declare war, I don't know~~ Please explain."
"How could it be possible to declare war..." Poole said speechlessly, it's thousands of kilometers away... Even if the ambition is so big, the hand is not so long.
"Previously, we have made an agreement with NCR using communication equipment, and now it is considered an ally relationship." , NCR's senior management is also at a loss, "The main task of this visit is to provide certain technical assistance to NCR..."
"Wait, technical assistance?" Liz said with disbelief, let alone the radiation world, how can there be such a good thing in general
However, the Brotherhood of Steel under the leadership of Elder Ryan said that there is really such a good thing, "After all, the NCR is the most powerful force in the wasteland, and according to our investigation, we also believe that it is one of the few 'having hope' Power... We hope to make life better for more wastelanders."
"In other words, it's just 'civil technology'..." If the military technology was provided, the Brotherhood of Steel would definitely rebel immediately, and the "changes" in the past three years cannot be changed so completely. "Even so, I still wish You will not be reprimanded by future generations for 'capitalizing the enemy'~~"
"We can't lose sight of the beauty of building a city for the sake of filthy ambition." Poole shook his head.
"You're almost ready to change jobs and become a priest..." Liz just hoped that he wouldn't be a "priest" to the point of forgetting how to survive in the wasteland. "Since there are main tasks, then there are secondary tasks, right? He said in one breath. How about getting out?"
"Uh, this is actually a secret..." However, it doesn't seem to matter to people from another world to say it. "One is to try to contact Mr. House and get technical support, and the other is to try to contact the Brotherhood of Steel on the west coast. I hope Can resolve their dispute with the NCR."
"???"
"Hehe, you don't seem to know much about things on the west coast right now. I'll explain it to you slowly..."
…
The NCR, also known as the "New California Republic", is located on the west coast, and its initial sphere of influence is the northern part of the California region.
Nominally, NCR is committed to restoring democracy, freedom and the rule of law in the old world in the wasteland world, but in fact, its rights have corrupted some people... But this is still dark, any force will have this process, the future special zone The Brotherhood of Steel will have it.
In the early 2240s, the NCR's population had reached 700,000. In terms of political influence, economic strength, and population, the NCR is arguably the most powerful force in the Radiant World, and it also has the largest active-duty force.
The NCR and the Western Brotherhood of Steel are hostile because the Western Brotherhood of Steel is a "normal" Brotherhood of Steel that will do whatever it takes to plunder technology. In the years of war, the Brotherhood of Steel believed that it was on the side of the victors, but no matter how many people died under the Brotherhood's advanced technological weapons, the NCR always had a seemingly endless reserve to replenish. With the advantages of NCR's number and reserve strength, the Brotherhood was finally beaten and could only survive in a corner.
By 2281, the NCR's influence had spread to the Mojave area and southern California, where they found New Vegas and Hoover Dam, which had hardly suffered from the fighting of 200 years ago.
The owner of New Vegas is Mr. House (the designer of the Liberty Pioneer) who is commanding a bunch of robots. NCR has entered into a series of agreements with it, and it is a short-term coexistence relationship.
The Hoover Dam was of great military and economic value, and Mr. House handed it over. However, at this time, a powerful military organization called "Caesar's Legion" began to compete with them for the Hoover Dam...
This is exactly where Leeds are about to go.
[War, war has never left this wasteland.]
