Well an interesting event on Friday I was contacted by Dahl and he advised myself and fellow members of squad Spud, Anthony Brenner, Sick note Brenner Engineers Ned and Scar. We were tasked with obtaining cuttings from a 200 year old Radiation eating tree to plant in an Alpha radiation zone and hopefully these will grow, it did involve using radioactive “spuds” Anthony that is the last time I am using that word. They looked a bit like this.
However this being proper science we had to dip them in radioactive goo, wearing gloves masks etc stick the cuttings in the potatoes then plant them out in the alpha radiation zone.
Things went smoothly except Scar must now make a talking time watch for one of the Hell eye clan who showed us where the tree was and generously let us take cuttings. Once the dipping was done the cuttings and potatoes were transported to a planting site and planted with the aid of a shovel all in all a good scientific endeavour.
I then pulled a guard duty at fort Leon with most of the other medics galivanting off into the wild unknown, when this happened we were attacked by Fortitude specialists, I was shot down but was stabilised by the crat Darya, in fact she stabilised most of us and in fact saved the day in my opinion. She deserves to be recognised. I did manage to get several very close up scans of the fortitude specialists. (note to self why do fortitude soldiers grin when they expire, must find out why)
So after being shot I decided to retire, gun shots do wear you out a little only to be woken by a loud radio call from Councillor fields that they had a medical emergency coming in that was not responding to nanites and I was the only medic I could find. A quick assessment showed the patient had multiple pieces of shrapnel in their chest slowly moving toward their heart, open chest surgery is tiring work, you cannot get anything wrong it must be perfect or the patient may die due to blood loss. It was tiring, I have never fought so hard with a patient but I did get all of the Fortitude landmine bits out of the patient’s chest, then a quick dose of nanites and the wound sealed itself and the patient could talk to us, I am afraid I was too exhausted to understand so left Sally to deal with it.
Would you believe it just as I am about to drift off Sally again could I help hack this chip that had been found, but being honest I was so tired I could not see straight and fell asleep in the attempt.
The next morning there was a long walk to what is now known as Fort Ned, just as I was settling in my bunk yes you guessed it Sally again, there no medics can you go out on this diplomatic mission to the pact, we want to negotiate with them to source some C7, C7 is insidious stuff burns the body chemically why the followers of the choir choose to drink it is beyond me, So I fell asleep under a tree, diplomacy is not my thing. I did manage to get detailed scans of the pact though. (Apparently eating cake is very important)
Whilst negotiating we were rudely interrupted several times by super mutants, I again scanned all of these, Ill put just a few in this report.
I then pulled bunker guard duty again, it was quiet until a little surprise visit from Bunker Victoria apparently the nephew of the fellow Simmerson we met the first time. They advised as we were occupying their lands, they would be expecting rent from us, the sum of £10.000. Well with help from the Crat Darya again we advised we would have to put this to our council and give then a response in a few weeks’ time, we have been given a month to pay, most people agree with me that Victoria will not be getting anything from us. I am confused though as the ambassador at the pact this morning was much more pleasant to deal with, maybe a genetic flaw in the males? They left us in peace after delivering this ultimatum, I have advised my fellow councillors.
So I decided to do a couple of hours research with my scans concentrating on Super mutants and The Pact, seeing if I could find any correlation between the two and generally losing myself in the research, I am hoping to do this with Dahl’s help but the network is very patchy here.
However just as I was settling down to study the code, an emergency came up, no not Sally this time but we were attacked by super mutants, we acquitted ourselves well, but I must admit not sure my nose has gone back right after getting punched in the face by a super mutant. Fort Ned was defended superbly by not nearly the major in his power armour but I was surprised by the engineer Triss Brenner and Scar helping to hold the buildings thanks to them no more mutants made it into the building. Full marks to our newest medic stripes for grabbing a box and picking up people where needed.
After this calmed down something else unusual happened the Major and Jacob burst in and grabbed Nero accusing him of planting some sore of bug on the major, they restrained him and were marching him to a cell I was about to follow to carry out some basic procedure scans when I was approached by “Wall” who said not to scan Nero as I would not like the answer but it would be alright in the morning. This naturally made me want to scan Nero even more and both of this scans showed no anomalies, they are here for you to see.
Nero was searched and a device and some nanite patches were discovered, when I scanned these patches they turned out to be tailor made viruses for individuals, namely the fortitude leadership.
I then buried myself in research again the pact and super mutant genomes whilst fascinating, I would like to find a way to slow them down or at least drop them so I don’t get punched in the face again.
This leads me up to the afternoon of Sun day when yes you guessed I was asked to hack a device along with several other hackers which we successfully did, when I learned the device was the one found on Nero I forensically tested the device and could find no trace of Nero on it at all.
A lot of research to do one of my medics has been tasked with finding a viable alternate to C7 Ill give him all the support on that, Rav and Indiana have been charged by Raze to lead an entire new tribe and investigate who took part in the recent ceremony I agreed to help with this. Lastly I want to look at possibly creating the first new AI after the fall, Fort Ned sounds like it would be the perfect place to do this, must start researching this.
