chapter 3 the lost Ranger
Nick and Justin were ready to go deeper in to the vault but Judy stopped them. Judy asked them " where are we going now?" " We are going deeper in the vault," said Nick. Judy was not very happy because she wanted to get out of the vault. They started arguing, Judy decided to go on the first floor. Nick and Justin went to look for the key card in the common quarters. They come across spore plants and they fire at them. The spore plants jump at Nick and Justin, but they are standing back enough not to get hit. They killed all the spore plants. however this was only the first room. Nick and Justin went through room after room killing spore plants and searching for a key-card. After looking through many rooms they find the key-card on the floor. Justin jerry rigged the elevator while Nick kept watch. Justin got the elevator working and the two got in. They headed to pest control, the elevator opened up and the first thing they noticed was the noise.
The generators were trying to reboot themselves and that was causing the noise. Nick and Justin could see rubble all around because the reinforced walls had collapsed from the pressure, but they could still see a path through. They went looking for the reinforced metal door that led to the tunnels that led to the cavern. They found the door, but it was surrounded by mantises. Nick and Justin could see a mother mantis protecting her eggs. The mother tried to attack them so they had to shoot her. Justin missed and hit the eggs. Nick said "can't you aim your gun" Justin said "what the hell are you talking about i can aim" Nick said " then why did you shoot the freaking egg" Justin was pissed off and said "fine you can do this all by your self". Justin walks to the elevator, but before he gets in Nick says "you will be an enemy of the Desert rangers of Nevada." Justin responds that he is going to join the NCR Rangers. Justin takes the elevator to the main floor. Once on the main floor Justin walks past Judy and out the vault door. Judy shouts at Justin "where are you going?" Justin says "bye" and walks out the door.
Justin was alone in his thoughts when he glanced up and saw the Mojave Outpost operated by the NCR in the distance. Suddenly four giant ants rush toward Justin as he crests a hill. Justin reaches for his revolver, but realises he only has 5 rounds in his 357. Justin empties his 357 into two of the giant ants, and knows that the other two will finish him off. As he prepares for his demise, shots ring out from behind him. Two NCR rangers and one regular soldier are firing at the remaining ants with their service rifles. The two remaining ants fall silent. The rangers ask Justin "who he is, and what is he doing in their territory?" Justin removes his helmet and tells the soldiers that he is a Desert Ranger of Nevada. The soldiers take Justin's documentation and walk him toward the rangers and a soldier walk Justin to the command post to see the general. the general tells Justin, "you're now a veteran ranger in the NCR. here is your new ID badge." Justin asked, " where am i assigned to now sir?" the General told Justin, "your mission is to take HELIOS One from the Brotherhood of Steel." Justin said, "yes sir".
Nick and Judy were walking away from vault 22 Judy said, are we looking for Justin?" Nick said, "no we are not going to look for Justin" Judy said, "why he is your friend right' Nick said, "no he was my brother but not any more OK do you get it'. Judy just said,"OK but if we see him what are you going to do then" Nick just side "just drop it OK". Judy said, "ok fine".
Justin was making his way towards the Hidden Valley Complex of the Brotherhood of Steel. Justin had heard that the leaders name was Elder McNamara and that he had paladins and knights, who were his soldiers. Suddenly Justin was surrounded by six paladins who were out on patrol. Justin had no idea that he was as close to their bunker as he was. Justin felt kind of stupid that he had been caught so easily. The paladins instruct Justin to drop his weapons and put his hands up! Justin is put into cuffs and taken to see the leader Elder McNamara. He is put into a containment cell at the Hidden Valley Complex bunker. After a wait of approximately 6 hours, Justin is taken in front of McNamara. Justin informs McNamara that "he is part of the NCR, but he is tired of them. Justin wants to help the Brotherhood of Steel because NCR wants to take over the Mojave." Justin knows that the NCR are looking to capture Helios One, which is a solar energy power plant. Helios One could be transformed into a weapon with incredible power. Upon hearing Justin's information McNamara decides to have his troops counter attack at Helios One and then retreat back to the bunker.
Nick and Judy are part of the NCR regiment that is tasked with taking the Helios One power grid. Justin and the Brotherhood of steel are planing to counter attack the NCR forces at HELIOS One. Justin and five knights and a paladin were escorting Elder McNamara to the bunker. Once they reached the bunker wave upon wave of NCR forces attacked the HELIOS One power plant. McNamara orders Dr. Wesley to activate the army robots (RB 3928) and the weaponize Mr. Handy robots. These robots will attack any soldiers wearing T45d armour. Justin is wearing a T45d armour, which will activate attack from the robots.
One of the soldier set off the robots and killed three guys. Nick grabs an service rifle and took out two of the robots. Judy grabs service rifle from a dead soldier and downed two more robots. Judy said "i need some ammo Nick" Nick said "here you go" and tossed Judy some ammo. Judy said "thanks you Nick" Nick and Judy took out the rest of the robots and captured one of the scientist the other scientist turned the power grid off.
