Just an update on some things - Me.
Inside the large dome of The Think Tank, the only two human beings inside the dome were currently behind a stockpile of ammo and different firearms that the two had acquired during their adventures across The Mojave Wasteland. One of them was holding a rather worn-out clipboard looking at the list that they had written down. "Let's jot down the list one more time." The other one simply sighed before they looked up at the guy with the clipboard. "Come on Randall! We already got everything we needed for the journey! Do we have to do this shit again?" The lady replied as she sat down and simply whined "Yes, Vera, we have to. You remember the incident don't you?" Randall smiled after he said that, seeing Vera immediately shut up as soon as he reminded her about the incident. "Now let's begin." And with that, they have begun listing down the weapons they have and are about to bring along on their journey. Which took longer than the two would have rather liked but due to experience the two knew that heading into anything unprepared would leave a rather disastrous trail in their wake.
After they had finished their list they quickly grabbed the weapons of their own choice. Randall often likes weapons with a bit of kick to them.
For pistols, he grabbed The Mysterious Magnum first, then A Light Shining in Darkness, the Ranger Sequoia, A Li'l Devil, along with Lucky, and a Silenced .22 pistol and the Police Pistol for last resort.
For Vera's choice of sidearms, she took Maria first and foremost, along with another Police Pistol, A Weathered 10mm Pistol with an extended mag and a laser sight, A .45 Auto Pistol with a new slide and a suppressor, another Lucky, and a Silenced .22 Pistol
For Rifles, Vera grabbed an Assault Carbine with an extended magazine, a forged receiver, and a light bolt, The gun that they jokingly called "This Machine", and The Survivalist's Rifle.
For Randall meanwhile, he took his personal favorite Anti Materiel Rifle modified with a suppressor, custom bolt, and carbon fiber parts, next was the Medicine Stick, then the All American, and last but not least Christine's COS Silencer Rifle.
For SMGs, Randall took the 12.7mm SMG with a suppressor, extended stacked magazines, and a laser sight, along with the 10mm SMG called "Sleepytyme".
Vera meanwhile, took the .45 Auto SMG but with a round drum mag along with a recoil compensator for it, along with Vance's 9mm SMG, and a 10mm SMG with extended magazines and a recoil compensator.
For Shotguns, Vera grabbed Dinner Bell and Big Boomer. Whereas Randall took the Lever Action Shotgun along with the Riot Shotgun.
For Heavy Weapons Vera took the CZ57 Avenger while Randall simply did not pick any of the heavy weapons because he is not strong enough to wield such heavy weaponry. The duo then put all the weapons mentioned above inside their Pip-Boys before focusing on the energy weapons that had been put aside until now.
Starting with pistols, Randall took the Euclid C-Finder-
"NO! GIMME THE C-FINDER YOU FUCK!" Vera yelled as she suddenly tried to grab the C-Finder off of Randall's body but he quickly digitized it inside his Pip-Boy. "Fuck off V! The C-Finder was mine fair and- OOF!" He was cut off as he got punched in the gut and he bent down and clutched his stomach as a result. "The Euclid C-Finder Six. Give it to me or I'll have "Knock Knock" shoved up your ass." Her voice quickly went into a rather deep pitch which gave her a Terrifying Presence that even he couldn't help but feel afraid. But unfortunately for her, it wasn't effective on him. "Vera… Seven. The Euclid C-Finder will always be mine. You got a lot of different toys to play with and besides I'm the only person who can control their trigger when holding this thing." That seemed to calm down Vera's anger as she grabbed Randall's arm and hoisted him back up to his feet. "Yeah, you're right. Sorry, Randy." He gave Vera a small smile before he weakly punched her on the shoulder. "It's all good V. Come on, let's get this done." The duo walked back to the energy weapons that were still in the same spot.
For the sidearm equivalency of energy weapons as mentioned before Randall took the Euclid C-Finder, along with a Flare Gun, Pew Pew, and The Pulse Gun.
Vera meanwhile takes another Flare Gun, another Pulse Gun, and the Compliance Regulator.
For the laser rifles only Randall picked one and that rifle was the Holo-Rifle with focus optics, an advanced calibration, and reinforced components. Overall, its a effective rifle.
For Energy Heavy Weapons though Vera quickly grabbed the Cleansing Flame "Dibs!" as she giggled about it. Randall simply rolled his eyes before he eyed the Arc Welder, almost contemplating if it was worth it or not. After a quiet moment had passed Randall grabbed the Arc Welder.
Now onto the two's favorite kind of armaments in battle. Explosives. "Hup bup up! I get to pick first pal! And I chooooooooose… Esther!" Randall was about to argue as he stepped forward but then stopped himself as if he remembered something. So he let Vera take Esther with her, along with the 25mm grenade APW with expanded magazine, a long barrel, and upgraded the internal parts, and lastly she took Annabelle.
Randall on the other hand simply took with him a Grenade Launcher and the Red Glare with modifications such as alpha strike, auto launcher, and far sighting which earned a sinister smile from Randall. "We're gonna have a lot of fun oh Red Glare of mine." He said with a rather sinister tone.
For thrown explosives, the two decided to get the same explosives so Vera and Randall took 35 Fire Bombs (which they also call Molotovs), 30 flashbangs, 26 Frag Grenades, A dozen Pulse Grenades, and 1 Holy Frag Grenade for both of them. "I'm still surprised we still have these HFGs around," Vera commented as she threw the HFG into the air and caught it as it fell.
Onto Melee weapons Randall went first as he grabbed Blood-Nap, then Figaro, Cattle Prod, Old Glory, a Shovel, dozens of Throwing Knives, Boxing Tape, a pair of Spiked Knuckles, and a Clean Cosmic Knife, as well as a handful of tomahawks
Vera's choice of melee weapons includes: Blade of the West, Knock Knock, a Katana with an authentic blade, protective sheath, and a balanced grip, A Protonic inversal axe, another Cattle Prod, Baton, Clean Cosmic Knife, Chance's Knife, Two-Step Goodbye, Love and Hate, Saturnite Fist, and a Paladin Toaster, along with a dozen throwing knives. The two now satisfied with their choice of weapons started putting them inside their Pip-Boy.
"Alright, now that's done. All we need to do is to get our clothes and armor and restock on medicine and now we're all good to go. Shall we?" Vera nodded as the two walked over to their bedroom and pulled out a big footlocker where they put all of their armor and clothing they needed beforehand. They opened it and the footlocker revealed a wide array of clothing and rare armor that was found or bought by these two. Six took Benny's Suit out of the footlocker which reminded the two how they first got into trouble in the first place. "Hope that bastard is rotting in hell." "You're not the only one who wishes the worst for Benny, V." The two had already finished off Benny so it's not the time to reflect on the past now.
Continuing on Six then took the King's Outfit, a US Army General Outfit, the Stealth Suit Mk II, his Courier Duster, And a suit akin to the one The King is wearing which he dubly named Viva New Vegas, and Advanced Riot Gear along with the helmet which was what he was currently wearing now, Lucky Shades, and the Valence Radii-accentuator
For Seven she took Vera's Outfit, A Followers lab coat, her courier Duster, Desert Ranger Riot Gear along with the helmet that she was wearing now, the Assassin Suit, Joshua Graham's spare armor, another set of Lucky Shades, and the Valence Radii-accentuator.
After that was done the two headed towards the Sink Central Intelligence Unit also known as SCIU. As they had arrived the SCIU and a harmony of other voices suddenly greeted the duo with excitement. "Can I offer you sir and madame some refreshments perhaps?" A stiff, overly verbose, faintly British voice of the SCIU had said as the two looked at it. "No thanks, Mr. Samuel. Me and Six are here to restock on stimpaks and chems"
"A wonderful choice madame. Now let us do business." and with that, the two exchanged their caps for a hundred more stimpaks and super stimpaks and 50 more chema of different variety for both Vera and Randall. As soon as they were finished the two started walking to the lab. "Alright everyone, wish us luck on our journey!" And that is what every voice in The Sink did. They wished the two good luck in their new journey.
As the two entered the Lab they saw The Think Tank running or rather flying around in a hurry either making calculations or busy setting up what seemed to be the main attention of the lab. One flew over to the two couriers before suddenly shouting
"DR. VICKERS! DR. KEYES! YOU TWO HAVE ARRIVED JUST IN TIME!"
"Howdy Dr. Klein! I Assume th-"
"THE UPGRADED TRANSPORTALPONDER IS ALMOST READY! WE ARE ALL SIMPLY AWAITING FOR THE ARRIVAL OF YOU TWO! COME, COME! DOCTOR 0 HAS THE TRANSPORTALPONDER READY!"
"Yes yes, Dr. Klein. Let us get to Doctor 0 and get the Transportalponder Mk 2 ready for testing. Shall we Dr. Keyes?"
"I think you know the answer Dr. Vickers."
The two simply giggled as Doctor Klein remained confused even asking the two
"WHAT DO YOU FIND EVEN FUNNY?!" out loud.
As the duo simply ignored Dr. Klein's question the trio then headed to Doctor 0 with Dr. Klein in the lead. "Doctor 0! I hope you are doing well. Anyway, I heard from Doctor Klein here that you have the-"
"The Transportalponder? Yes, yes I have it here. Hang on." Doctor 0 turned around and flew away from the bench that he was working to show off-
"The Mark 2 Transportalponder! This bad boy can let you travel anywhere in the world! Now all we need to do is to test it if it actually works… But fret not you two! The Transportalponder is very much safe we can assure you that much!"
The duo suddenly felt not very safe due to that fact, unlike Dr. Klein. Vera grabbed the Transportalponder MK2 before she looked at it. The appearance of the new Transportalponder is very similar to the first one the duo had got; except for the fact that instead of having a neon blue color it was replaced by a rather neat neon green one instead. Randall then looked at Doctor 0
"So, where are we headed to finally commence the first testing of the Transportalponder?"
"Just by the center of the lab. I'll gather the rest after I'm finished with my calculations." The two would then make their way to the center of the lab. The same spot where they first met The Think Tank. As the bots continued to fly around and do some calculations, the two looked at each other.
"Look at this Randy, us two are about to embark on another adventure. Nervous?"
"Yeah… But we'll get through this together. We've done it before and we'll do it again."
Vera and Randall then fist-bumped each other. "Through thick and thin ain't that right brother?"
"You're goddamn right sister." The two smiled at each other before Dr. Klein quickly flew to them.
"DR. KEYES, DR. VICKERS, EVERYTHING IS SET AND READY! PULL THE TRIGGER ON THE TRANSPORTALPONDER WHEN YOU ARE READY!"
The duo held their hands together as Vera pulled the trigger.
Suddenly lightning striked outside of the dome as electricity started to form in a circle that surrounded the two. The members of The Think Tank flew away from the circle screaming at each other but the duo couldn't hear them. "HEY HOW DO WE ST-" And then a shockwave flew throughout the tank ultimately taking out any electronics nearby for just a moment. As soon as electricity and the lights were back on they were greeted by a messed up lab and Doctor Keyes and Doctor Vickers gone.
"Oh no…"
