Three days had passed since max's first encounter with the brotherhood scribe Jessica; spending the time putting her remarkably extensive knowledge of old-world security systems to use unsealing the rest of the facility with a band of brotherhood scribes tasked with making the facility fully functional. Her technical knowledge outshone that of even that scribe in charge of the project, much to his frustration.
"I've got the blood results back max, and its unbelievable. Whatever the enclave did to you it was some next level stuff" exclaimed scribe Jessica.
"why what'd you find?" replied Max.
"It's unlike anything I've ever seen. For a start all of your cells have an attached hydrocarbon Nano-shield comprised of dense carbon lattices and ionized hydrogen. Theoretically it should provide protection from radiation akin to that of super-mutants. But that's just the tip of the ice burg. Their appears to be at least a hundred different types of what I can only call antibodies that strip toxic materials in the air straight from the bloodstream. I've isolated at least one that seems to provide immunity to the FEV. This could bring unprecedented protection against super-mutants for the brotherhood." explained scribe Jessica excitedly.
"Well if you'd like I have a fair idea where the enclave kept the research on me" replied Max.
"Really! That would be great. If I had the enclaves research I might be able to reproduce the antibody myself. Or maybe I could recreate the hydrocarbon Nano-shield for radiation protection." continued scribe Jessica.
Max lead scribe Jessica to the lower levels where the main servers for the facility were located.
"All of the facilities research should be accessible here. I'm pretty sure this is the facilities primary research server so you should be able to find all sorts of stuff down here" Max explained pointing at a big box with filled with flashing lights.
"Wow this is amazing. There is stuff I'd never imagined. Just to start with there are schematics and research notes on almost all of the different types of power armor that the enclave use. Designs for experimental energy weapons, and some of the most complex cybernetics I've ever seen. There is also the biological research on their experiments on you. All of this could put us miles ahead technologically.
Now we need to link up this server to the primary terminal network so I can access it from the medical clinic."
Responded scribe Jessica excitedly.
"It should be simple enough. Just link it to server 19 as a storage petition" explained Max as she quickly and effortlessly punched in some terminal code to the wall mounted terminal which linked the research server to the main server.
I have to tell the elder about this. This is amazing. It makes the battle to take this place almost seem worth it.
"If your finished linking up everything; I would like you to come with me to see the elder. He would definitely like to here about the all the research that we discovered down here" inquired scribe Jessica.
Max and scribe Jessica chatted about the possibilities that all the new enclave research could bring on the way to the elders office.
"So what is it that I can do for you scribe Jessica" said one the paladins guarding the elders office.
"I am here to see the elder about the matter of enclave research that has been discovered" replied scribe Jessica.
"You do realize as head scribe now you have to see the elder now anyway so you don't have to tell me exactly why your seeing him" the paladin responded.
"Right. Right. Still getting used to being the head scribe after we headed east from capital wasteland." she explained.
Scribe Jessica and max quickly made their way into the elders office.
"So what is it you have to report scribe Jessica" said the elder inquisitively.
"Well, with the help of the vault-dweller here, we were able to access the enclaves research server" explained the scribe.
"Ah yes, the girl that was kidnaped from her vault by the enclave that I've heard so much. Some kind of security system expert. Helped unseal some of the lower sections of the facility I hear." the elder said.
"Yes Max has been invaluable in unsealing the facility and getting us access to the enclaves research, which is what I'm to tell you about."
"Go on."
"With the help of Max we were able to gain full access to all of the enclaves research in the facility. It should be available for you to see on your terminal right their. Anyway among extremely powerful experimental energy weapons and schematics for all of the enclaves power armor, their was complete documentation of a biological experiment that supersedes the pre-war development of the FEV. As far as I can see the project aimed to provide immunity to the FEV and radiation. Theirs also something I've never seen before. The ability to filter toxins directly from the blood stream. With no observable side effects."
"Do you have any evidence to support what it is that your are saying?"
"I have one piece of evidence which conclusively shows the success of this project"
"And that is?"
"Max. It seems the enclave abducted her from her vault for the sole reason of the experiment. I've tested her blood and it seems that Max's cells are fully stable and as you can see for you self there are no physical side effects. It would take a few months for me to facsimiles everything necessary to recreate the experiment."
"Well how 'bout that. I want you to observe max for the next couple of weeks for any changes before trying to recreate the experiment."
"I don't mean to say anything out of line but I need to go back to my vault. See if anyone survived the enclave attack. Those people are my family." max interjected.
"It's OK I understand. It's the same here in the brotherhood. Everybody's family. So I will make a compromise. Scribe Jessica shall accompany you to your vault to observe any changes. And since you've been such a big help to the brotherhood in the short period of time you've spent here I will allow you to keep the hellfire power armor that I hear you pulled out of thin air. Dismissed".
