3 Welcome To The Wasteland

"Where am I?"

Six looked around and saw nothing but flat desert land in every direction. He anticipated arriving in Goodsprings at the start of the game, but found himself in an unknown location. Pondering his situation, he asked himself...,

"System, where am I located within the Mohave?"

[Host is outside the Mohave]

[Host, please use pip boy to know your location]

As he recalled, Six hit his forehead with his hand, realizing that he was holding an abnormally large smartphone in his left hand.

Upon scrolling through his Pip-Boy 3000, Six realized that it would take him at least two weeks to walk to the Mojave Outpost.

Six navigated from the map to the inventory menu, scrolled down to the apparel section, and discovered the Lightweight Leather Armor, Lightweight metal armor, Tribal raiding armor, and the Stealth Suit Mk II equipped.

He then moved to the weapons and noticed that he had binoculars, a Weathered 10mm pistol, a Sturdy caravan shotgun, a Broad machete, x10 throwing spears, and the Mercenary's grenade rifle.

Six navigated to the aid menu and found that he had three super stimpaks, Five bleak venoms, Three doctor's bags, and Four weapon repair kits.

Finally, he checked the ammunition section along with miscellaneous items and caps. He found that he had a total of 100 caps, x40 20-gauge shotgun shells, x20 40mm grenades, x50 10mm rounds, and the Vault 13 canteen Which six then took a sip.

Six equipped himself with the weathered 10mm pistol at his hip and the sturdy caravan shotgun on his back, then began his journey through the wasteland. After traveling for half a day, he noticed three Geckos attacking a Mole rat.

Crouching, he approached the group with his Weathered 10mm pistol. Six then activated VATS. He quickly killed the three geckos with a critical hit, causing their heads to explode like water balloons. Dropping out of VATS, he took two shots to eliminate the molerats and finish the ambush.

Six sprinted towards the group he had just killed and quickly began to loot them, constantly checking for any potential threats in his surroundings. Getting 5 Gecko meat, 3 Gecko hides, 1 Mole rat meat, and 1 Gecko egg. 

Suddenly the Merchant System screen popped up

Ping!

[will host trade x3 Gecko corpses for 60 MSP, 1 Mole rat for 15 MSP, and 1 Gecko egg for 40 MSP]

[yes/no].

Six didn't even take a second and pressed [yes] getting 115 MSP to his account. 

Upon opening his account, he perused the available utilities and ultimately purchased a Portable Stove. for 15 MSP, lighter fluid for 5 MSP, a 10 Piece Tramontina Primaware Non-stick Cookware Set for 40 MSP and 5 cases of 40 Piece Purified Bottled Water 16.9 Oz for 25 MSP. 

With 20 MSP leftover Six bought a sleeping bag for 20 MSP, storing everything except the Portable Stove to see if he could activate the Cooking/Chemistry creation. Pressing the on the Stove a screen popped up listing.

[x5 Gecko meat=Gecko steak]

[yes/no],

pressing [yes] he received 5 Gecko steak.

After taking a bite of his Gecko steak, he washed it down with a bottle of water and thought to himself, "This tastes like beef jerky." Six took a 10-minute break, stored the empty bottle, and continued on his journey. After two hours, he found a road and checked his pip boy to see that it would take him to the Mojave Outpost.
