Another day another… maiming.
Of course.
Well it's been about a week since I left the Vault and this is the fourth time I woke up transformed and killing things.
Speaking of which, looks like my body is now punching some weird ass zombie things. I think their called Ghouls.
My body was constantly ripping something off, either by a kick to the head, a fist through the stomach or my least favorite, a kick from the balls up.
Bright-side I found out that I can listen to the Radio while I'm having this strange experience, well let's see what's on.
"Good morning Wasters! It is I, your host Meta-Mangler bringing you the latest news from our little civilization in this cesspit of Hell called Kansas!" the radio chimed
Oh so that's where I am.
"First up is some bad news. Recently a group of Super Mutants were spotted just South of Little Kancer. The town is expecting to worst and is already beginning evacuation. They will be on-route North to the Haven Vault, 127 and will hopefully make it in one peace. Now for some GOOD News!" it continued as my body shouted something.
"WHY! WON'T! YOU! JUST! SCREAM!" each word was definitely punctuated with a punch to a Ghoulish face.
Anyway back to the Radio!
"Seems like we have a Hero saving our asses, even if unintentionally. Recent sightings seem to be some mask fighter that I can only compare to an old Japanese show called Kamen Rider. If any reports are to believed, supposedly music plays when he appears and because of that I'll dub this man Kamen Rider Radio! For those who want an easier name, just call him Lone Rider: Radio!" It finished.
Oh shit we're famous. And looks like my body is about done.
My body reverted back to normal as I was suddenly pulled back into my body.
"This is Meta-Mangler, and I'll leave some music runnin for you folks" the radio played when some Old World Music began to play and I turned it off.
"Well at least I now know civilization is a thing" I murmured to myself as I looked around for any signs on where to go next. I looked at my Pip-Boy's map and noticed some new locations were added. Looks like Vault 127 is just North of me. So I began walking. Again.
God why is everything dead. This trip might take less time in a vehicle. Well at least I finally have a chance to read this belts manual.
What? Did you think my Vault would give me a device of mass destruction without at least giving me a guide? That'd be stupid.
Now let's see.
I switch tabs on my Pip-Boy and looked at what digital documents I had and read the manual.
Huh, apparently I have multiple forms based on different Wavelengths, with Radio being the best for close range. And it turns out it's incomplete, I'll have to try one of those later.
I was going to keep walking in silence when I heard the distinct sound of metal boots hitting the ground. In fact it sounded almost like a Super Mutant, except more mechanical.
That's about when I first met the Brotherhood of Steel. It went about as well as you'd expect. But I'll have to tell you next time.
Just kidding.
Anyway the first thing they did was point one of those fancy Rifles at me before a distinctly feminine voice spoke.
"A Vault-Dweller all the way out here?" they questioned.
I nodded, obviously not wanting to be shot. I still have no clue if the FEV also made me Bullet-Proof, and I didn't want to find out. That and I'm sure she'd pull the trigger before I could transform.
"Ma'am, his skin color is a little off. He might be a mutant of some sort" pointed out someone not in a tank suit.
"You're right, but it's also possible that it's just some sort of birth defect" said the human tank. She lowered the gun and I sighed in relief.
"Is it normal for you guys to normally threaten people" I asked, mostly out of morbid curiosity.
"Well to be fair, a lot of people shoot first" she countered.
She has a point. But that was my first meeting with the Brotherhood. That could've gone so much worse.
