"Everything looks good on my end. You ready to see if this thing actually works?" Sturges began the conversation. "Shouldn't we test it first?" I replied kind of anxiously. I didn't know what to expect, really. "Wish we could, but we only got the one frequency code. There's no way to test it without actually jacking into the institute's signal. And as soon as we do that, we've used our one and only chance. As soon as the Institute figures out what we did - and I gotta believe those brainiacs won't be caught napping twice - that code we've got is useless. However, I can in theory transport you and Dogmeat to the Institute, but I very seriously doubt there would be no consequences," Sturges replied quickly. I stood there for a moment, thinking about everything i just heard. I confirmed my decision and stated "Let's do this."
"You sure?…okay. Your part is simple; just step onto the platform with Dogmeat. I'll start scanning for an institute signal to lock onto, then… I fire her up and we see what happens," Sturges said. I did as told, and stepped onto the platform.
I pointed at Dogmeat and told him to come and stand next to me. Dogmeat did as told, and obediently followed my command. Dogmeat was definitely my most reliable companion, but if something were to go wrong, i would not want him to get hurt. But at the same time, if something went wrong and he didn't go with me, He would certainly miss me. Either way, We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Although, I doubt Dogmeat would die, since he has been unkillable by anyone thus far. I never understood how Dogmeat could do any of the things he could do, but he was the best. especially helping me make things I wanted by selling exact, fully functional, duplicates of the things i own and selling them, or using them.
The machine suddenly started to make a loud hum, with the feeling of a vibration in my feet, regardless of the power armor on me. after spacing out for a moment, i came back to reality once i heard Sturges begin the line "By the way, I figured this was a golden opportun-," however, I never got to hear him finish the sentence, as I suddenly saw a bright flash of a blue light, transforming to an absolute white of a color. The blinding light was too much for me, so I closed my eyes in hopes of dimming the light. It worked enough for me, so I hoped Dogmeat did the same so he didn't go blind. eventually, I saw through my eyelids that the light has faded. I opened my eyes, only to see a shadow of a group of people standing over me, looking down upon me. I couldn't hear them, but I bet I would eventually. I just hoped they didn't steal anything of mine as I knew I was about to pass out again any moment. there was 9 of these people that I could currently see in total. I passed out at the moment I moved.
I woke up, with the feeling of Dogmeat pressed against my power armor. when I opened my eyes, I saw that I was in a room with a couple lights, a desk and chair, with some sort of raccoon-dog thing with antlers standing on top of the chair. It was wearing a pink hat with a white 'X' on the front of it. When he saw me look at him, he immediately jumped down from his chair and hid behind the side of his desk that I could not see, his body being seen, leaving only his eye was really adorable looking, while at the same time saddening. I got off the floor, since I couldn't really fit on the bed I was next to. eventually, the reindeer (my guess from the antlers) got out of his hiding spot and started to walk over to me. very slowly, but it was progress. "Who are you? Where did you come from? Are you strong? Why and how did you suddenly appear on the ship from out of nowh-" The reindeer started pelting me rapid fire with questions… Wait, it talked?! Talking reindeer… Huh. Weird. "calm down, OK? I'll tell you about all of that stuff later if i trust you. right now, I am starving." I said smoothly. I stood there for a second not moving, until the back of the power armor opened up, and I popped out. I walked over to the reindeer, about to start talking to (apparently a guy) him,"Do you have any friends with you that you were with?," remembering the group I saw earlier. "Yeah, they are right this way." he replied.
"Oh yeah, one more thing." I said. I raised my Pip-Boy arm to my face, to see if I have all of the things I had before I got here. I saw that I had everything, so I was ready to go. once I lowered my arm, I said "Never mind," to him, before he could ask why I said,"Oh yeah, one more thing."
"OK then… anyways, right this way. Oh yeah, by the way, my Name is chopper. What is yours?" He practically shouted with pride."Tom," I replied. This was going to be fun.
