Lexington and Concord

by dannythemartian

Kyle Lexington and Jason Concord were once very good friends. But then, later in life, they went down two separate paths. Lexington ended up being an advocate and a soldier for the NCR. Concord then became a soldier for Caesar's Legion. In the first part, Lexington looks back at his memories to display his many encounters with death. They're memories of death, chaos, and suspense.

WRG: The following memory you tried to load is either incomplete, non-existent, or corrupted:

MRY: CHILDHOOD

Loading different memory...

Hmm...it seems that my device is loading up a different memory. You're probably asking me what this device even is and what it does, I'll tell you. It's called the Memor-a-tron 200 and, with a small memory chip installed in the back of my head, allows me to view my memories. However, if I forget either one or several parts of one memory, then that memory is unreadable.

Heck, I even have the backstory to the Memor-a-tron 200. But now, I'm suspecting that the good doctor changed some details so that it would fit in with the current time we live in. Allow me:

"The Memor-a-tron 200 was created by RobCo Industries in 2055, 22 years before the Great War. This allows for a user to view memories from their past. It even includes a small Memory Drive pre-packaged with the Memor-a-tron 200 for the user to get started. From 2056 – 2077, the Memor-a-tron was distributed across the United States through the means of delivery trucks. Plus, medical clinics had to provide Memory Drive Input implants because it was a requirement in order for memories to be read in the first place. This only lasted from 2056 – 2077 due to the beginning of the Great War.

In order for the device to work, however, the user had to travel to the nearest Medical Clinic to have a small Memory Drive Input transplanted into their brain. This involved first creating an opening for small wires, that are part of the Memory Drive Input, to be routed to several parts of the brain. So that way, the small Memory Drive can remember the details of the memory with help from the Input.

After the surgery, the user then puts the small Memory Drive, which is used to store memories, in the back of his or her head. If the user wants to view his or her memories, they can take the small Memory Drive and plug it into the Memor-a-tron for the memories to be read."

Technically, you can still get the small Memory Drive Input, mainly through either the caravans, or as a small medical benefit if you're a soldier of the New California Republic, but now-a-days, Medical Clinics don't provide the surgery necessary in order for the Memory Drive Input to be used to transfer your memories into the small Memory Drive.

Now, you might be thinking, how are you able to read your memories when medical clinics stopped giving Memory Drive Input implants in 2077? What I said before was true, but actually, when I was young, despite the fact medical clinics stopped providing these implants, the only place where it was still available after the bombs fell was the New Vegas Medical Clinic in the Mojave, just outside The Strip. Even Dr. Usanagi, both the only and best doctor out here, gave me a free Memor-a-tron 200 and small Memory Drive that was perfectly in-tact...somehow. I still have it in the back of my head to this day.

RSP: Memory Loaded!

MRY: LASTCONCORDENCOUNTER

I hate this memory, but it's the closest one it can find. Luckily, this encounter with my former friend wasn't the worst encounter in my memory chip. Well, here we go!
