"So the Jefferson Memorial, what is here that has you all gathered here?" asked 2D. "I'll show you, now please follow me." said Sarah.
She then lead them through the building, passing other Brotherhood members. "Why did you only want 2D to come in?" asked Noodle. "Well obviously because he's the peace bringer." said Sarah.
"You guys believe in the prophecy?" asked Russel. "Not really, I never did, at least till your friend arrived," said Sarah. "Lover, MY lover." said Murdoc possessively.
The woman just nodded as they walked to come across two bickering men. "These are two of the scientists working with us here, Damon and Jamie." said Sarah.
"Nice to meet you." said Damon. "Ya, hey, you're the peace bringer, well, looks like we won the bet, knew you were around." laughed Jamie. "Oh shut up and get back to work." hissed Sarah.
The two laughed and walked down a different hallway.
"So, what exactly are they working on?" asked Noodle. "You'll see soon enough, but first, why have you come seeking us?" asked Sarah. "We came here to see if you, the Brotherhood of Steel, would join us in fighting the Enclave, we have a small army so far." said 2D. "We have ALWAYS been fighting the Enclave, but, you said army?" asked Sarah.
"Ya, we have the support of the Family and the Pitt." said 2D happily. "Don't forget Megaton, they wish to fight as well." said Murdoc. Sarah looked at them, stunned.
"So many people wish to fight?" asked Sarah. "Ya, because they believe in Toochi." said Noodle. "We also have the very symbol of freedom." said Russel.
"Really, what would that be?" asked Sarah. "The Declaration of Independence, I left it back at my place in Megaton for safe keeping." said Russel.
"It still exists?" asked Sarah. "Yes, and with it still alive, it shows that freedom is not dead." said Murdoc. "Plus it says we have the right to fight the government if it gets too powerful, which the Enclave are, those corrupt bastards." said Noodle.
Sarah nodded and smiled. "It would be an honor to fight, especially along side the peace bringer, but only our Elder can approve, in the mean time, let me show you what we've been working on." said Sarah.
She came to a door to open it, allowing the group to enter. Dogmeat sniffed the air to start barking while Cortez perked his head up. Something was getting the animals pumped.
Inside the room, they saw a large part of the room was full of water with a large machine above it. "Wow, what is this?" asked 2D. "This, this is Project Purity." said Sarah.
"Project purity?" asked Murdoc. "Yes, once operational, this machine will be able to purify hundreds of gallons of pure, clean water." said Sarah. "That's awesome and something everyone needs." said Noodle.
"Yes, and we're here to protect it." said Sarah. "Let me guess, the Enclave?" asked Russel. The woman nodded to look at the group.
"If we get this machine to work, it'll loosen the Enclave's hold on the Wasteland, so far, they are the only ones who have clean water and sell to people for too much, so long as they hold the water, the people won't want to fight them, it'll mean the end of their survival." said Sarah.
"Ya, but with this machine, you can change all that." said 2D. "Exactly, the Enclave have already tried many times to take the Jefferson Memorial but we always managed to fight them back." said Sarah.
"What would they do with this, just hog it?" asked Noodle. "Most likely, now, come along, you can meet the head scientists of the project." said Sarah.
The group nodded and went towards the stairs when Cortez cawed. The raven flew up, making the Satanist curse. "You damn rat with wings, get back down here!" yelled Murdoc.
The group get up there to see a man petting the bird. "Fascinating, I never thought I'd see a living Raven, thought they were all extinct." said the man.
A woman came around to see the man and bird. "Where did it come from?" asked the woman. "Doctor Li, James, the bird is with them, the peace bringer." said Sarah. The two scientists looked to stare.
"So it is, the prophecy is true, I was so hoping it would." said James. "As did I, but I was a bit more skeptical." said Li.
"Cortez." growled Murdoc. The Raven cooed and flew back to the older man.
"You have a beautiful bird." said James. "Uh thanks." said Murdoc. James nods and walks a bit closer to smile.
"So, what are your names?" asked James. "I'm 2D and this is Dogmeat." said 2D, petting the dog. Dogmeat barks loudly, sitting down to pant. "I'm Noodle, a pleasure." said the small girl. "Russel Hobbs, I actually used to live in Rivet city." said the large man. "You already met Cortez, but I'm Murdoc Niccals." said Murdoc.
"It is nice to meet you all, did Sarah explain it to you already?" asked James. "Ya, but I was wondering, what would the Enclave do with the machine?" asked 2D.
The man's face darkened as he shook his head. "I do know, they plan to infect the water worse with radiation, making even possible drinking water too radiated to drink." said James. The group was horrified as Li walks over.
"That is correct, but with this machine, they'd be able to purify the water again, only to sell it and increase their hold." said Li. "That's not going to happen, not when we're around." said Noodle in determination. "Baby girl's right, we're here to help out best we can." said Russel.
Li looked thoughtful to nod. "In that case, there are a few things we need help with." said Li. "What is it, I thought my soldiers helped out." said Sarah. "Almost, they got injured going into the basement, remember?" asked James.
She nodded for Murdoc to raise an eyebrow. "What's in the basement?" asked Murdoc. "A few Super mutants are hiding out down there and with them down there, we can't get access to the Mainframe or flood control valve." said James.
"We also need a pipe cleared out but that's an easy job." said Li. "Well, I can fit down a pipe." said Noodle. "So I guess the three of us will handle the basement." said 2D.
"I can help you out with the locations of where you need to go." said Sarah. The group nodded and followed her back down the stairs.
Looks like they were going to be doing some chores for the Brotherhood.
A/N: Now they are on board with Project Purity. What adventures lie in the basement with Super Mutants? You'll soon see. Stay tuned and plz review.
