(Sarah) As I walk into the room I can tell immediately... somrthing is off. And then I hear it.
"You want to hear some irony? The presidents garden was used to repair the Purifier." spoke a voice from the corner, where a faint green glow was, the voice sounded just as dry and pained as mine was, though for me it was from so much shouting, while for the young woman in the corner it was lack of use.
"Are you seriously going to come back to the world saying that terrible joke?" I said weakly as I walked over to Ally's bed. She definetely wasn't at her peak physical condition, after so long of being fed through a tube and having radiation coursing through her veins, but she didn't look as bad as I expected.
"I have to come back somehow and joking seemed like a good plan." came her response. I sat on a chair beside her cot as she spoke.
"Please, you could have died and it would have been a nice change of pace." I joked to the young woman before me. She smiled despite how dark the joke was, especially considering both of us nearly died from the radiation.
"Oh ha ha Miss Sentinelyness. Now can I get out of this place? Pleeeeeeaaaase?" asked the young pale girl with messy black hair and a unearthly glow from her skin. I tossed her a uniform to change into and walked out of the room, waiting for her to change into the uniform.
(Ally) It feels great to get into the Brotherhood uniform again. I'm nearly skipping across the Citadel courtyard when Sarah walks outside with me. The sun and radiation together feel like a gift, I am here. I am okay. I will survive. Sarah laughs, probably suspecting my plan to skip around childishly. Everything feels perfect. Until a team of Brotherhood soldiers walks through the gates. They look wounded and the Power Armour they wear damaged. One woman seems to have a tangled mess of legs and metal on her lower half. Sarah pushes me back and runs to the team. I cannot hear a word they say.
Before long Elder Lyons is outside with the soldiers, the wounded however have long since been brought in for treatment. I still stand in place gobsmacked before Sarah walks over to me and drags me back to reality.
"Ally... its bad... Liberty Prime... he's... he got..." Sarah couldn't finish her sentence. My suspicions about Primes faith were answered when I saw it... a second team of Brotherhood, all Knights with one Paladin leading them dragged in the destroyed parts of Liberty Prime. Our one edge over the Enclave's advanced tech lay in ruins over the Citadel. Everyone froze in place and bowed their heads in respect. "Ally... Rothchild wants us to report to him... A-Ad Victoriam..." Sarah saluted, still in shock and walked toward the laboratory. I soon followed suit after taking a look at Primes remains.
"-inel... this is a risky task. I hope you understand the risks. And you must go alone." the elderly voice of Rothchild echoed through the labs as I entered. A feeling of dread seemed to hang over the place. As I aproached the old man in the red robes Sarah nodded at me and left.
"Knight Beckett... it is great to see you up and active again." said the elderly man respectfully. "If only the timing was better." I said quietly as Liberty Primes head was deposited on a nearby table.
"Prime may be gone but our hope is not. Sarah was sent off to acquire an object to use in creating a weapon to beat the Enclave, you however have a different task. While you were unconscious a letter arrived for you. It said about exploring a pre-war tourist attraction on an island. We have never sent anyone to this place before but since the invitation was to you we decided only you should go." Rothchild seemed to not want to hand over the note, but it didn't bother me. I trust the Brotherhood.
"Fair enough. Any reccomendations for gear to bring?" came my response.
"Standard issue weapons, a laser rifle and a pistol, of your choice. As well as any extra weapons you may require. As for armour I would reccomend borrowing a T-45d suit of Power Armour rather than your own T-51b. The T-51 is a better armour but should not be needed for this basic mission. We have no idea when you will return as we have never visited the place. We assume within the next few months. Any other questions Knight?" I shook my head and we both saluted "Ad Victoriam!" I made my way to the new Lyons Den to get supplies.
And here we are. The end of chapter 2 and the end of Liberty Prime. From here the story will follow two paths. Ally's path and Sarah's path. Ally's trip will last one month in transit meaning that Sarah's story will continue regardless for that time. Then Ally's story lasts for a month alongside Sarah's before after a final month, the third, our two heroes are reunited. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, if you did and want to see previews of the next follow me on Fallout Amino, I am quite active on that so you will likely find me easily, if you want to ask any questions about the story ask either on Twitter (@gamecrazyjack) or on Fallout Amino.
