35 Chapter 35: Factory

I stepped back, away from the terminal and wanting to know how Everyone is doing, I started connecting to Higher up members all at once.

Status Report. (Brendon)

Sir, this is Higgins. We discovered the Bomb, it was in a Trashcan next to the Skyscrapers, it was removed before it blew up, we are unable to disarm it sadly. The damage from it going off is outside the safe area, No casualties. (Higgins)

Good work, reward the one that found it, even promoting him or her is allowed. (Specter)

Yes, Sir! (Higgins)

I connected to Preston next, when he connected, he was out of breath, but the more he talked the more calmer it became.

I... Found.... The.. Bomb, it was in multiple places, each Settlement had one, they got removed, unable to stop it from going off though. No damage done to the settlements and they have even became more aware of the perks of Infinity Guardians presence, that will inspire more to join. (Preston)

Right now, we are removing the one at the Tower. (Preston)

I became serious when I hear this.

Damage? (Brendon)

Barely, did not make it almost. The tower is safe but the area around it is even more damaged then before, the ones moving it was lost from the blast. We lost 4 Assaultrons. (Preston)

Damn. (Brendon)

I believe we should increase more watchers and increase the checks. (Preston)

I agree, deploy your troops to the places to keep guard, I will send reinforcements over to take your troops place once I get everything settled. (Brendon)

Will do. (Preston)

Disconnected from Preston, I connected to Tiana.

Status Report. (Brendon)

A Lot has happened, Infinity Guardians Recruitment Office would have been destroyed before my arrival. A brave soldier took control of the situation before I had arrived, even with only one arm and no legs, he was able to get the other hurt people together, and they worked together to remove the Bomb. (Tiana)

When I received that it was setteled there, I used that to head to the forage factory down the road and the Settelment accross the street. Splitting the available troops, we found a bomb at each place and it was removed safely.

One activated too close and the settlement wall was destroyed, did not know the radius of the bomb then, Damage Minumal and Repair Bots workimg on repairing it as we talk. (Tiana)

Good job, secure the places and stay put. Don't let your guard down and keep an eye out, Reinforcements will arrive and replace you. (Brendon)

Last thing get the names of all the brave men and woman that took action. (Brendon)

Yes, Sir! (Tiana)

It seems I have some people to reward for their bravery and quick actions. (Brendon)

Sir, what should I do? (Allen)

Just secure the place, I dont want anymore Surprise Attacks as I work on the new Recruits. (Brendon)

Commander Allen looked confused when I said work on new Recruits, but he left the factory without asking questions and moved to secure the area.

I on the other hand accessed the terminal once more.

First I brought up the already plans built in the terminal and seeing the robot called Swarm. It is a weak robot that is cheap to make but I don't half ass my troops, the idea is not bad, saving that idea but added the Assaultrons as the structure to be built. I had the parts that was previously already made, resent back into the factory and start smelting them back down and remade them into Assaultron parts.

That will start assembling them, as the factory is working on that. I left and made my way back out and started moving the troops around to stabilize the situation faster.

Day passed by quickly, and the troops and situation is settled quickly, I had Jade fix the power of the Factory and ran new lines to send power easier, the Assaultrons made by the factory are stock and need to improve there intelligence. Sending them to Higgins who will put them into training along with the recruits.

I have leveled up seven times times from all the chaos so I can improve myself again.

After finished placing the last perk in felt a wave of energy Pass through me, I Closed my eyes and just felt what is changing and getting information bon how to heal wounds and fight with rifles and more.

You are able to take quite the beating now. (Jade)

I hope I dont have that happen. (Brendon)

Kratos ran over to me and I bent down patting his head before it ended up into play time with Kratos to pass the time until suppertime.

_________

{Next day}

I looked over and seen Military Trucks rolling in with troops in the back one of the Assaultron jumped out and Saluted.

Sir! (Assaultron)

secure the place. (Brendon)

Right away! (Assaultron)

The Assaultrons all got out, I look at the 72 new Assaultrons from the factory, it takes one Assaultrons to be made in one hour and three days had passed after I started the building.

New Assaultrons get on the back of the Trucks! (Brendon)

Yes, Sir! (Assaultrons)

As the Assaultrons are getting in the back, I found Allen.

Commander Allen. (Brendon)

Sir! (Allen)

You have showed good promise, so I believe you will keep improving and being of good help. So I officially promote you to Commander. (Brendon)

Congratulations. (Brendon)

Yes, Sir! (Allen)

... Wait, what! I have been promoted! (Allen)

I laughed at his shocked expression and tapped on his shoulder.

Work hard. (Brendon)

Yes, Sir! (Allen)

You have two Missions, get all the fallen Infinity Members on the Military Trucks. After all we don't leave the fallen behind. Then you will take your troops and head off to Location 10, then head to 29. Once finished Circle around and head south, and regroup at Location 2. (Brendon)

Yes, Sir! (Allen)

I left Allen who started working right away, then I connected to Commander Tiana next.

Sir? (Tiana)

Commander Tiana, you are to head to Location 16, don't enter it, clear it of outside force once cleared leave a squad to keep the area clear and head to Location 2. (Brendon)

Yes, Sir! (Tiana)

I Connected to Preston next.

Brendon, I have finished clearing the Settlements no more bombs found and everyone was saved even if it was a very close call. (Preston)

That is releaving to know, how is your progress? (Brendon)

Just regrouped the troops and now heading to Location 2 the places North and East of Sector Two has been cleared, Johnson Bell Stepped up and started helping Command, his help saved one Settelment before I got the chance to send orders out. (Preston)

You found the other Commander? Higgins gave me information on three people that have potential to be Commanders and Johnson Bell was one of them, its good to know he Stood up and helped you. (Brendon)

Higgins has good eyes, I believe promoting him to Commander will help us in the long run. (Preston)

If you see him having potential then promote him as you see fit, you have the ability to do so after all. (Brendon)

Alright. (Preston)

I will be heading to the Quarry first then drop by the main base before heading to Location 2, take command when you arrive and set up a Command Center and if you need help building it ask Higgins to send a Builder bots to help, Scout the area and keep tabs on the target. (Brendon)

Will do. (Preston)

I disconnected from the radio, a Vertibird flew over and landed on cue, making my way over to it Kratos followed quickly.

Pilot, set flight to the Quarry west from here. (Brendon)

Yes, Sir. (Pilot)

The other Vertibirds fully filled with the troops set out following me as I took point.

The Vertibirds flying over the land, I was watching the ground fly past below lost in though, a few minutes later a fence below with Sentry bots moving along it keeping guard.

Passing over and continue on, I noticed quickly of a weakness in the defenceive line.

The Quarry arrived below the Vertibirds, I seen its actually empty of Water, was confused but ignored it.

Landing down as the others s outed the area, Jade spoke to me as soon as I stepped on the ground.

Master, this is mostly a Marble Quarry, their is a mix of metal ore but its little amount, you need to find a better source of metal. (Jade)

That is annoying, I was needing this place to be a place to get Metal ore not Marble. (Brendon)

Standing next to the pump used to drain it of water, and looking down.

We just need to scan for a place. (Jade)

I dont think one will be close by if it was, after all it would have been discovered already. But hay, we never know, you can give it a go. But it looks like we will need to hold off activity searching. (Brendon)

All well, we can also use my second plan for the metal source. (Brendon)

That would be? (Jade)

The City areas, it has metal everywhere, just remove Skyscrapers and take the metal. (Brendon)

We will need to remove the buildings to rebuild them anyways as the place needs cleaning, we will just hold off on building new buildings. (Brendon)

Alright, let's return to base and start preparing. (Brendon)

Getting back in the Vertibird, we set out to the Main Base, a few minutes later. We can see the buildings, it has gotten bigger, the North West wall was expanded and more housing was put in.

The first ones are even taller and the others are just being made. The Vertibird flew over and seeing lot's of people in the Trading Center below before landing I am glad that even after the bomb attack they are still present and active.

The Vertibird landed on the landing Pad followed by the others, I got out and the others also moved to head to the Vault to replenish ammo and repair and more. Most recruits just continue doing what they are doing but some stopped and watched as everyone walk in the base.

I took the elevator down and made my way to the war room.

Sir, you have arrived, the place has enlarged the last time you came here. (Higgins)

I seen, but that will need to wait the Billbord at the entrance is not being used, lets fix that, put on the sight what we are will be buying materials, 100 units of Steel is 400 Caps, 500 Steel is 800 Caps, 1000 is 3000 Caps. Start collecting the Metal and pay them appropriately if its smaller then 100 do the math and buy it, make sure the metal is physically with the seller I dont want them to sell paper saying it you can get this much from it. (Brendon)

Right away, Sir. I will have it done quickly. (Higgins)

Next, anyone with a Vertibird can fly over the checkpoints, we need to fix that, ask Wallace to create a Sam Site and set it up to tell the difference between allies and enemies like a Sensor Array, and set up a Bunker to keep track on the Sam Sites status, if one gets destroyed I want to know about it seconds after. (Brendon)

Yes, Sir. (Higgins)

After Sector one is Secure better, Sector two should be finished being liberated of enemies. That will mean we need to secure it then, Sam Sites will be added on the new border, fenced off and gurded for attacks, remove all buildings in Concord and we will start rebuilding new buildings right after, we need to spread the Civilians. (Brendon)

Yes, Sir! (Higgins)

I need the new Vertibird for my status and it needs to be tested and good at both attacking and evading, tell Wallace to get the blueprint of the Vertibirds and get one finished. (Brendon)

I will get it done. (Higgins)

How many new Recruits? (Brendon)

Sir, their is 1366 Recruits. (Higgins)

I will add that to the number and when the fallen arrives, tell me the loss and I will calculate them all together and see how many troops we have. (Brendon)

Also, I need a Metal Mine collect information from the Civilians, if they know of any place to mine Metal give them 700 Caps for the information if its correct, make sure to send someone to cheack the Information, if its correct send Bots to start mining. (Brendon)

Yes, Sir! Everything will be organized and ready for you to see right away. (Higgins)
