Chapter 9: The Jewel of the Commonwealth
Nights in the Commonwealth are usually relaxed and even quiet at times, the only good thing about the nuclear disaster was that you could see a beautiful starry sky. Nate Blake and Weiss decided to camp at a small barracks near Concord where they set a small fire to spend the night. While Weiss was preparing something simple to eat which was pieces of iguana with a little bit of mutacero filet and purified water, Blake was securing the pest-free zone and Nate secured the camp with some metal rolls to use as an improvised camp home.
As Nate assured the structure I thought about what that doctor said about the synths, he said that he had ninety-six percent of being a synth just because it was pre-war, but it was the real Nate or it was a Synth that he didn't know he was.
This became heavy, for now, I would leave the subject aside. The last thing I wanted to do was become paranoid.
When I turned around and saw Blake walking quietly, I decided to ask him something. "Hey Blake."
I'd like to see it. "Yes?"
"These ears, are they some kind of mutation?" I'm asking. "From the little I remember from my times in the militia, I'm sure that radiation does not cause extra animal limbs."
She would sit down knowing that they would have this talk sooner or later. "I'm a Fauno, I'm like you. But I have traits of some animal, in my case those of a cat."
"And I suppose the radiation didn't have to do with it." Analysis.
"No, I was born with them." He said to take off his hat and show him his ears.
"I see, I suppose besides the traits, you also have the habits."
She raises a waist. "What do you think, Mr. Smith?"
"Do you like fish a lot?" She thought she'd tell you some stereotype of cats; stam balls or licking for a bath. But that caused genuine laughter on her part.
"Jajaja. If I love fish."
Nate smiled for that. "If I'm to be honest with you, I am jealous. Imagine if I had a monkey tail and just enough to move it to grab my food while I watch television."
"JE. I prefer ears."
"Different tastes" I raise my shoulders.
"What's the next step?" I ask Weiss as he approaches the group.
"Go to Diamond City to find my son. I thought I'd go alone, but I think Six and Ed-e will be useful to me. The rest can take care of growing the Minutment."
Weiss considers this asynchronous. "I feel good, for the moment the minutements have looked good."

"Is that the last?" Ask my colleague Rogers. We were sent to hold a Canadian rally for annexation. With servo armor we managed to disperse them, but a group tried to incite us and we were forced to shoot. All with the order to do whatever it takes to maintain order. We had the one we thought was the head of this movement.
"Yes. Jajaja Look how he fights. Give me a moment." He approached the hostage with a gun in his hand and shot him in the head "jajaja" He said as he returned to shoot at this one.
I didn't know if the war had made me indifferent to this war crime; that I was even part of it, but I felt nothing. Until he comes back and looks at a camera. "There's a chamber."
"Oh!" I turned around, and for a moment I felt the anger bubbling because I just turned around and greeted in a friendly way.
When I stopped recording us, he turned around and told me ridiculously. "Try to tell this to the boss and I will personally take care that you don't go home."
El me dejo en la calle con el cuerpo congelado, pero no podia tolerar esto. call it justice or karma. But that night before an assault on the camp lowered the energy of its melting nucleus from its servo armor. I'm running out of power at the worst in an area east. Listen, the Chinese burned him inside his armor, like the Falaris Bull. I had no choice but to let him live and fear that I would do something to my family or die at the cost of having that sin and risking an execution.
Fortunately, there were no witnesses and evidence, so I'm not a suspect.

When I wake up, do I cry out of your nightmare or memory? They began to continue until they returned to Santuary where I saw some caravans and some settlers settling to clean things and help with the reconstruction, next to a communication tower.
I approached Sturges who kept it running. "What is that?" I'm asking.
"Ah. Good morning, boss! Well, while you weren't, we created this recruitment antenna with what we found to attract the attention of those looking for a home."
"Good work, only ensures that supplies areined and high defences against looters."
"In order, boss," Sturges said to continue checking the power generator remained in optimal condition.
As Nate walked, I noticed how the group was heading towards some things: Jaune and Phyrra were feeding the refugees, Nora and Ren were helping with the construction. Yang along with Ruby told children stories about a guy named Joshua Graham and Blake along with Weiss went to help Sturges with the idea of making electricity sources.
He would find Six inspecting his weapons.
"Hey" Greeting
"Is everything okay?" Ask.
"A group of robbers tried to attack us, we killed them and we left them in a snake abandoned by God," he said, giving the final arrangement to his revolver. "Where are we going, General?"
"We're going to Diamond City, I'll need your help alongside Ed-e's." He said firmly.
"Well, let's get there," said Six to get up and take his hat.

"Bep-bop-bip" (Have you really stayed here for almost a decade doing your homework?).
"That's Ed-E. I always had the hope that my masters would come back... even if it was one," Codsworth said a little sad. "But I am glad that Mr. Nate remains the same as you remember my memory banks.
"Bep-bop-Bip" (You could go explore the Commonwealth or even other states you stayed here. I don't know whether to admire you or disappoint me).
"ED-E! Let's go!" Scream Six.
ED-E left Codsworth some goodbye pitches to follow the group.

The journey consisted of following a route marked by the local merchants surrounding the University City of Boston to reach the Center safely. At the time of seeing the ruins Nate did not know what to think, of the little he remembers would feel bad for the city where I grew up, but did not feel anything "It makes me familiar this place" said.
"For me this is all new," said Six, looking at the brick wall that surrounded the settlement. "From what I remember, I know I've spent half my life on roads so I never settled."
Bip-Bop-bip" (Igual).
As they passed through an area they had to bend quickly because of a bullet that hit the ground. Six saw that they were some supermutants in a ruined building. "Supermutants!"
The group covered themselves behind a barricade to see as some settlement guards were armor baseball protection equipment to provide support. "What are those things?" I scream Nate at Six who was shooting with his medicinal stick.
"Mutants who know how to use weapons!" They saw a grenade fall. Upstairs. Nate kicked it as far as possible, leaving it to explode. "ED-and attract them, we will cover you!"
"Bip-bop-bip!" (If I fall, I'll take them with me!) He said the ojobot to fly and shoot at the supermutants while he was broadcasting music to draw his attention.
Six using the vision of VATS shot in the arms of the supermutants to leave them wounded and Nate using the grenades cast them to kill them, while the guards filled them with lead. The one who was the leader pulled out a maze and ran toward them, but Nate shot him in the head and killed him.
One of the guards approaches the group to thank them and help one of their injured companions. They walked back to the entrance where the statue of a player was, and in the sealed door was a woman in a red cape and a journalist's hat. "How can't you open the door? Stop talking nonsense, Danny! I am here in the weather, for God's sake!"
The group approached as the discussion continued. "I have orders not to let you pass, Miss Piper. "I'm sorry, I'm just doing my job," said the guard by the megaphone.
"Doing your job?" He said exaggerating his voice. "Do you protect Diamond City by leaving me out?"Oh, look, she's that scary journalist!"
"I'm sorry, but Mayor McDonough is upset, Piper. He says your article is full of slander. The whole city is a boiler."
Piper annoyed would talk. "Agh... open this door now, Dannu Sullivan! I live here! You can't let me out without more!" She breathed tired and would see the group and she came up with an idea. "Listen, you want to enter Diamond City, don't you?"
"That's why we're here," said Nate confidently.
"Follow me" I'm approaching the megaphone. "What do you say? Are they merchants on the Jet route? Do you have supplies to supply the general warehouse for a month? Isn't that right?"
"Yes, we have food, clean water and garbage," said Six.
"We also have ammunition for your weapons," adds Nate.
"Have you heard Danny? Are you going to open the door and let us in? Or are you the one who tells the mad woman of Myrna that you have thrown all these supplies to the ground?"
"Jesus! It's okay. You don't have to take it as something personal. Piper. A second." He said to turn off the megaphone, and then the door opened.
"We'd better get in before old Danny discovers us."
"Women first," said Nate.
"What a consideration," said he with a smile, and they would come in just to get down a fat man in an annoying suit. "Piper! Who let you in? I told Sullivan not to open the door!" He said as he approached. "Reverted liar and... demagogue! And that newspaper of yours... what a fraud! I'm going to send that printer to disguise."
"Oooh, is that your statement, Mr. McDonough? "Does the tyrant mayor close the press?"" Burlandose of him." He saw Nate again. "Why don't we ask the visitors? What do you think of freedom of expression?"
"I have always believed in freedom of the press," Nate said for sure.
"I agree, it is better to know the crude truth than to disguise it" I say Six.
McDonough calmed down when he saw that he had to lose her. "Oh no, I intended to involve you in this discussion, gentlemen. No, no, no... They seem to fit in Diamond City." I raised my arms and welcomed him. "I welcome you to Diamond City, the great green jewel of the Commonwealth. Safe, happy. An ideal place to come, spend the money, sit your head...Don't let this slanderer tell you the opposite, okay?"
"What about this argument?"
"What do you think? If you publicize lies, everything is happiness, but if you publish the truth."
McDonough's a bit nervous river. "Example. Well, did you come to our city for a specific reason?"
"I'm looking for my son, a little one-year-old baby." That would surprise both of you.
"Wait for your son to be kidnapped?" I'm asking Piper, the only asshole.
"I... I'm sorry about that. I'd like to be able to help him."
"Sure as you are the mayor, you know your inhabitants. Do you know who can help us?" Ask Six
McDonough thinks so. "Well, there's a private detective named Nick. You can find him."
"This is ridiculous! ¡I want the truth, McDonough! Why is there always evasive behaviour when it comes to missing persons for security reasons?".
"I've had enough, Piper. From now on, you and your little sister are warned, "He said to leave afterwards."
"Yes, McDonough still speaks. It's the only thing you can do." He would turn around to see the two men; and the robot. "Mmm, welcome to Diamond City and get information to the mayor. When you have time. I have an idea for an article that would fit perfectly," he said to leave.
"Bip-Bop-bip" (Me agrada).
Six saw Ed-e turn his eyes. "Let's get started"
"Yes, let's go," said Nate to climb the stairs, noticing how a security guard in glasses and bald watched them more than the rest.
As they advanced inside this which was actually a baseball stadium with many houses from in the courtyard and the seats of the visitors saw the place where Piper worked talking to a girl who was supposed to be her younger sister, a hairdresser, a hospital, a butchery, church, restaurant and market where people were trading or spending time.
Nate and Six gained curious looks for their clothes or for never being seen before. While ignoring people who were passing by or trying to sell them something, they saw behind the market a neon red sign that read "Valentine's Detective Agency".
They would enter the establishment where a woman was accommodating some papers and she felt worried. Wearing a gray jacket with sweatshirt and pink dress.
"Amm, I'm sorry." I asked Nate.
"I'm sorry, the agency is closed." She turned the woman with dark coffee hair and light skin.
"You're the detective," I asked Six.
"I? No. I'm Nick's secretary. I take care of your appointments, your papers, those things. Well, that's right. But now Nick is missing, and I can't keep a detective agency running without a Detective."
"Do you have any clue to your location?" I ask Nate knowing what's coming.
"He disappeared working on a case. Flaco Malone's gang had kidnapped a young woman, so I tracked them to their hiding place at Park Street Station. There's an old shelter they use as a base. I warned Nick he was heading for a trap, but he only smiled and went out the door, a classic of his."
"Who is this Flat Malone?" I'm asking Six.
"I don't know much about it, but it's from Goodneighbor, and that means it is from the cryinal school of well-ironed suits and machine guns." He said as he pulled out a folder and gave it to him so they could see it.
So what this Goodneighbor said was to the northeast, and the location.
"We're gonna go find him" returning him the folder.
"Thank you. It's easy to identify Nick. Always wearing that old hat and a cape. Hurry up!"
"Work never ends, huh?" I'm asking Six.
"I would do anything for my son," Nate replied to go out looking for Nick while the group was following them.
For now I'll leave it like this, I'm thinking of making this part an Arc and then there'll be a surprise. Wait for now. I'm sorry for the delay. But as I have: school and then publishing on Wattpad and here, it makes me sometimes cause mental blocks, but I'll try to follow this story by taking advantage of my re-registration vacation.
I'll see you later.
