I had finally figured out some things. Rena had woken me up by dismantling the droid that acted as my personal assistant. It had walked in in the morning and simply burst into all its component pieces and dropped to the floor. I looked at her as she stared at the pieces, she was some kind of psychic. I had known that the Fallout world had supernatural forces and people who could do unnatural things.
I needed to figure out her abilities and if needed help her in honing them. Additionally she was perfect for becoming my successor in this world. She was special. Powerful supernatural abilities and a decent mind as I had taught her, a 4 year old, to complex technology. The think tank main room had become my lab and her classroom, so it was perfect for us to experiment with her powers.
I took her to the lab and set up multiple tests for her to attempt. The first was to determine how she disassembled that droid. I crouched down to her and spoke. 'Alright Rena I need you to do what you did to the other droid. Disassemble those droid and tell me everything you can about how you do it and what it feels like. Don't strain or stress yourself, I don't want you getting hurt.'
The only indication I got that she understood me was her turning to the droids and them starting to burst into pieces as if the automated production lines that built them were assembling them in reverse while being invisible. Rena stood there unmoving as they fell apart, the only thing she was doing was thinking. My scanners indicated unrecognizable brain wave signals being sent out and the droids simply doing what she wanted. The brain waves didn't even touch anything, it was as if she was willing the universe to do something.
I then called in another droid. This one had a laser arm unlike the others. 'Alright Rena good job with those ones. You see that new droid, it has a gun and wants to kill us. I want you to destroy it. Remember what I said earlier, don't hurt yourself.' As I stood back, the scanners indicated a massive brain wave signal spike. She had previously disassembled six droids but the scanners didn't detect a spike at all, just a rising of signal strength. The droid fell apart again in a burst, however this time it wasn't uniform.
It folded into itself and then tore through, shattering itself with pure pressure. This time she had completed my instructions in an instant. Deciding to reward her I pulled out some candy I had from Star Wars and gave her the treats. She was puzzled about what to do with the candy so I showed her by unwrapping a chocolate like treat and popped it in my mouth. The moment she got one in her mouth I finally got to see the adorable little girl she was.
I had some more testing planned for her today but I wanted to do my best for her so I took her outside to the newest facility constructed in the now safe crater. It was a small water park playground mix with a forest garden surrounding it. I'd had the droids construct it when I decided to adopt her.
I could again see the child in her as we explored the new area. She quickly wore herself out so I carried her back to bed. I then began working on myself. With my power armor my pure skill had been dulling. I quickly set up a droid to make combat scenarios to train with. Both sides had painful but harmless stun guns. I spent the rest of the day stunning droids and getting stunned in return.
After wearing myself out I sat down and looked at my updates. My droids and the sink AIs had been working on many projects and I was overseeing them. The only significant thing to come up so far had been implants I had suggested to the auto-doc. When I looked at my updates I found mostly minor stuff but the sink ai had used some droids to develop ground restoration techniques. The technique involved some machines, lots of water, and lots of nutrient implantation. It would allow for plants to grow practically anywhere as long as they were protected from the environment.
With the update done I organized lots of droid combat groups and sent them to all the cazador hives in the area. With the hive gone I'd be able to place my environmental shields from Star Wars and begin mass farming. My farms would be made carefully and overwatched by my droid armies. I planned to produce massive amounts of potatoes, rice, pumpkins,peanuts, and corn.
The potatoes and rice could be used heavily to feed everyone. The corn could be used for many different purposes. And the pumpkin and peanuts were a great alternative for poorer people to get for protein. Outside of the farming would be dedicated sugar beet farms.
With farming taking care of civilization would eventually come. I had already started construction of multiple layers of shielding walls fanning out around the crater. My last preparations for a new society to pop up was having the underground expanded. Big MT had lots of technology and knowledge , lots of that stuff came from Vault Tech. I had already set droids to building massive, large scale vaults. I knew that the Brotherhood of Steel probably had nukes due to WV having massive stashes of them hidden in the mountains, with some other factions like the NCR, and other unknowns maybe having them.
With the plans made I decided I was done after the short and eventful day and hit the sack.
The next day I woke with a small child curled ontop of me. I got up and carried my little girl to the sink where we had breakfast. We spent the day with many more experiments of her abilities then had some normal learning. She was worn out by lunch as the use of her abilities seemed to take something out of her. After schooling I gave her some snacks and taught her how to play some video games I had grabbed from Star Wars.
With her distracted I got back to honing myself. The training droid was slowly upping the difficulty of the training with higher stakes being used via more painful stunners. I practically dragged myself away from the training area to take Rena to have dinner. Rena went back to playing games while I began remaking my armor. This time it would be much more form fitting, closer to mando armor. A combination of all the knowledge I hard allowed for incredibly small and tough power tech. My advanced materials also made the armor lighter and tougher. I also added some new weapons, a railgun revolver, a desert eagle with an expanded magazine for not reloading like in movies, and a sword. It was a lightsaber without being a light saber. It was a vibroblade made of saturnite and super heated to a red glow. It wasn't a lightsaber but I couldn't use lightsabers well in power armor.
After completing the weapons I worked on my armor more then went to bed dragging Rena to her bed. The month flew by with this routine till I found a very unexpected visitor.
