The Random FALLOUT Thread

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono shakes off the dirt as the tail protected his one weak-spot. "Lets leave before he starts using the mini-nukes."

[ST-84 Sahelanthropus]

"Right, I'll use Ted's Pip-Boy to Fast Travel." Frank punched in some numbers and the three of them(Chrono, Frank, and Dead Ted) vanished into thin air. They were somewhere near Girdershade before traveling, but now appear outside Vault 101. "God, that's handy in a pinch."

"Right, I'll use Ted's Pip-Boy to Fast Travel." Frank punched in some numbers and the three of them(Chrono, Frank, and Dead Ted) vanished into thin air. They were somewhere near Girdershade before traveling, but now appear outside Vault 101. "God, that's handy in a pinch."

"I'm guessing you'd rather have him buried than brought back... also, mine's organic, possibly because the Deathclaw mutation also mutated my Pip'." A hologram shoots out of Chrono's left hand as he holds it up, and hes pressing his own bones to navigate through the screen. "I'm surprised his actually grew to fit his hand, rather than become part of the hand."

[ST-84 Sahelanthropus]

"I hate to say this, but bringing him back would likely make things worse. After Eden 'tricked' him, he started to not care about who or what he killed... he lost his Humanitarian side, as you can tell by the destruction of the major settlements." Frank took Ted's body and set it on the ground. "His arms and legs were really scrawny for a Deathclaw, that must be why his Pip-Boy still fit... how did all that happen, anyway? According to his World Map, he hasn't been to Chicago, where he said he met a Deathclaw Matriarch that supposedly transformed him. I'll take a look at his notes and see what I can find, unless that's too intrusive."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono made a nervous chuckle, and tried to gather the will to answer. "About that uh..." He scratched his chin with his left index talon; "We were taken in by a giant mothership, when I was about 80-90% human, they started experimenting with our genes... and since I am basically a formless entity, I could resist such changes, and reject the DNA with practice. Ted however, was slowly turning more and more Deathclaw, we ended up getting in an escape pod and crash-landed back in D.C. where I let my mutation take full effect. I did my best to 'fix' Ted, but the mutation was very aggressive and I eventually just gave him a DNA suppressor and went to the West to find a cure. Thats where I met your 'James' in New Vegas... but not the cure."

[ST-84 Sahelanthropus]

"James went to Vegas? That's very strange, perhaps more than you and Ted becoming Deathclaws. What was he doing there, when he had Project Purity to work on?" Frank looked through Ted's notes, carefully searching for anything related to the Deathclaw mutation.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

"Wait, 'James' isn't the 'Lone Wanderer'? I thought thats who you were talking about!" Chrono was getting confused with the names now, since the one he met at New Vegas only wanted to be called 'Drifter'.

[ST-84 Sahelanthropus]

"James is the father of Ted, Tom, and the Lone Wanderer, who for some reason has no real name. He left the Vault to work on Project Purity, and his three sons left to follow and find him in the Wasteland."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

They both arrived, at the vault, and Chrono put Ted's body up against the wooden door before addressing Frank. "Project Purity... I remember the GECK was used, I gave one to the Matriarch back at Chicago... the James you speak of. Should have died with Project Purity; 'Drifter' said he saw his father die in the chamber while it was still flooded with radiation."

[ST-84 Sahelanthropus]

"That... Drifter guy has almost the same story as James' sons, when they saw him die after Colonel Autumn invaded the Purifier. Drifter must be the Lone Wanderer." Frank looks into a note on Ted's Pip-Boy. "Oh... my. Check out this note."

"I have finally found a way to become a Deathclaw, with this I should be able to draw them out, the so called 'Talking Deathclaws' that were thought to have been destroyed by Frank Horrigan, a Secret Service Agent for the the Enclave. Two of these things escaped death, and have repopulated in secret. They don't want be seen by Humans, so I need to 'show' them that Mankind is to be destroyed, and I need to become their leader. I have always liked making new friends... and then shooting them in the back when they think I'm trustworthy. I'll set up the Raiders to attack on my signal, and Jericho will hand me a cure so I can change back. Unfortunately, this cure will not keep the Deathclaw mutation from taking over again, and I'll need to get another one. I'll soon become dependant on this drug, and eventually I will become tollerant, maybe even immune to its effects... but this is a small price to pay in order to put Mankind at the top of the world once again, as we were before the bombs fell. Besides, Isaac will cure me when I've done this job for him, and he'll get me off this rock so I can do this all over again to some other non-Human species."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono read the note, and raised a brow while never changing his gaze. "So thats why she asked me to make a new tunnel... Ted probably went through the 'old road' and found them." He looks back at the body, and grins rather cruelly. "good thing he didn't go through with it, otherwise he would have been shot down by the Raiders for 'false claim'..."

(may i be able to jump in on this fallout action Denihil/Chrono... or is now not the best time for jumping in)

[ST-84 Sahelanthropus]

"He already did, according to his later notes."

"I found them hiding out in some caves northwest of St. Louis. I'm in my Deathclaw form right now, so it's difficult to type notes... but I'll do it anyway so when someone out there in the Wasteland finds my body, they will know my story. Or better yet, when I finally get to leave this place, Isaac will spread word of my deeds. Jericho and about ten Raiders are waiting in the new tunnel, which ends just outside the main chamber of the Deathclaw hideout. When I give the signal, they'll break the wall and storm in with Assault Rifles, Combat Shotguns, and a few Miniguns. After that's done, Jericho will hand me the cure and I'll change back."

"What a mess, all the bodies, the blood, the guts... I love it. The Deathclaws cheering for the supposed conquest of Mankind masked the sound of the wall at the back of the cave crumbling, and they didn't see it coming. Quickly, I had to hide behind the rock I stood upon seconds earlier, so I didn't actually get to see them die... although getting to look right into the eyes of the Matriarch as I popped her with the Pfeifer Zeliska was almost worth missing the massacre. Sadly, she didn't have any kind of Human-like voice, so she couldn't cry or scream in the way I wanted to hear. She just defiantly roared in my face, which only made me want to kill her faster."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono read over the note, not wanting to believe he just failed to keep the only sentient Death Claws he knew from dying out. But then things didn't add up when he read 'St. Louis'. "Um... I've never been to St. Louis... I was at what used to be L.A., maybe Ted was less informed than I thought. Ah, thats right, the 'old road' leads from L.A. to St. Louis since the Matriarchs were siblings before the nukes. I never went to the other side of the 'old road' since I had to collapse it before building the 'new road'." Chrono started to nervously laugh before calming down. "For a moment there I thought my ma... the Matriarch was killed while I was away"

[ST-84 Sahelanthropus]

"So, he didn't kill all of them? That's a relief. The more of these notes I read... the more I regret helping Ted through all those years."
