Wasteland Conqueror - Chapter 76: Making It Ours
🕑 Added 2024-10-24 15:46:43 +0000 UTCLeaving the guys to customize their living spaces, however they liked with their very own dedicated construction crews, I took Alice and Rei with me and wandered off to the most northeast corner of the fifth floor with my own construction crew in tow, one that was twice as plentiful. Traversing one hallway and room after the next, the three of us eventually reached the space that will officially be our home out here in the wastes from now on.
"Alright, let's see what we need to do to the place to make it ours." I said as we entered a large office room that was covered with cubicles and had large windows lining nearly the entirety of the north and east side walls.
"Okay." The two beauties responded excitedly, ready to make the place ours.
"Also, just a heads up. When we're done here, I'm going to go off and do several more loot runs before the day's end."
"Do you want us to come?" Rei asked.
"You girls are welcome to come if you want, but I'll be fine if you two want to stay behind to give the construction crew renovating our space direction and make the place homey."
"Mm, in that case, we'll leave you to it, dear. Make sure you stay safe out there."
"Will do."
Following that last line from me, we started out by having the robots break down all the office cubicles and other junk and haul it away. Once we were left with a blank slate, my two lovers went around the room and designated different sections of the several thousand square foot space for specific purposes such as where the kitchen and our bedroom will go and what not.
Whilst they were busy doing a majority of the designing and planning, I took a small section for myself and split it up for a personal office/man cave and a small armory. Going around my small partition, I customized it how I liked in my mind and relayed my wants and desires to my robots as I created and modified the image in my mind.
Not all that many minutes later had everything designed and set up the way I wanted it. "Okay, I'm going to head out. I'll catch you two later."
Saying that, I walked up to Alice first and shared a kiss with her before doing the same with Rei.
But just as I was about to turn away and start heading for the convoy that was already prepped and waiting for me downstairs, Rei held me there for a second. "~Don't forget about tonight.~" She whispered in my ear seductively.
Holding the seductress in place, I returned the favor and leaned forward and whispered back into her own ear. "How could I forget."
Blowing a wisp of breath that was enhanced by my Pleasure perk, I caused the busty Japanese beauty to heat up and strode out of the huge room, leaving Alice to accompany her future sister wife, who I had just riled up. From there, I re-equipped my Heavy Trooper Helmet, informed gramps and the boys of my plans via my robots, and continued on my way to the loading area. Taking the shortest route possible, I made it there in minutes and unloaded the various resources I brought along from the foundry from my item box.
As my army of robots were busy ferrying the resources to the warehouse area, I opened the many massive doors for the loading area and directed the portion of my forces that would be coming along vocally for a change. "Let's head it out, guys"
"Rodger-" The many mechanical forces responded in sync.
Jumping right back on top of the Buffalo that was in the most optimal position, I willed my stealth field into existence and had 50 of the 100 flying Sparrows I had hanging around the area providing constant vision along with my thousands of K-1 Spider Mines join up with the armored convoy above, so I could see any issues approaching me and my guys from miles and miles away. When the last of us exited the plant's interior, I directed the train of vehicles and robots to leave through our original entry point.
As soon as the whole group passed the rusted collapsed gate that had now been dragged away to be scrapped, they lined up and positioned themselves in an orderly formation.
"Forward to Undercity 7." I commanded after the last of them got into place.
Upon issuing that command, the column of vehicles went forth, speeding along the rough and broken asphalt roads.
...
Due to us having made this journey once before, I had the convoy travel at a faster pace this time around and because of that; we began pulling up to the abandoned mining town of Adaven, the location that hid the entrance of Undercity 7 a hell of a lot earlier than the last. Nearly at our destination, I continued being ever cautious and kept scanning the surrounding environment even though I had my eyes in the sky in the way of my bird like robots.
Just finding the typical low-level mutants in the surrounding area that were smart enough to keep their distance from us because of the danger our numbers posed to them, we advanced forward and entered the large mine tunnel. Traveling through that tunnel for quite some ways, my group and I eventually ended back at the colossal nuclear blast door that protected one of the few remaining prewar cities that still existed to this day.
Needing to get past the impenetrable door, I broke out my advanced communication device that was reminiscent of smart phones of my previous world and called up the undercity security that was managing the comings and goings of the undercity.
"This is the Undercity 7 entrance security team, whom am I speaking to and what is your purpose for today's visit?" One of the security personnel asked whilst the many cameras and turrets mounted all across the entrance's exterior trained my person, ready to annihilate me in case I wasn't supposed to be here or had harmful intentions for the undercity.
Removing my helm off to make things easier, I answered. "My name is Dom Mason Woods. I'm the undercity governor's son-in-law and am here to continue transporting resources and equipment from my facility to the wasteland."
"What is your personal identification code?"
"Z86."
"Thank you... You're cleared for entry. The door will begin opening now. Stay clear of it till it's fully settled into place."
"Understood."
Hanging up there several seconds went by and when I was going to begin questioning when it was going to open, it started to move.
Grrrrrrnnnnndddd-
The instant it fully set into the open position, I was about to make my move to return to the vehicle, although this time to the interior. But I saw the officer who I was presumably speaking to moments prior coming towards me from the distance so I held off on doing so.
I wonder what this fella wants.
Delaying my climb into my Buffalo's cabin, I walked up to the officer
"I apologize for the inconvenience, sir." The guard apologized even though he was just following standard procedure.
Hmm, he could be concerned about my position and whether or not I'm going to make his life difficult because of the slight inconvenience one has to go through to enter the undercity, I suppose... I guess I should reassure the poor guy.
"Don't worry about it. You're only following protocol. I'd much rather have to go through this slight inconvenience every time than worry about the undercity, letting in unauthorized wastelanders whom may or not possess a special set of abilities that lets them disguise themselves as residents of the undercity." I reassured the guy.
I spoke with the guy for several more seconds before he wandered off back to his post looking happy to not have any trouble coming his way. Not being held up any longer, I climbed into the front most Buffalo and ordered the convoy to enter the undercity. Upon us making past the numerous defenses in place, my forces and I got on the main road leading through the city that was still cleared for my convenience. Speeding along the multilane road, we cut through the metal and concrete jungle and made it to the Genesis foundry in record time.
I mean, it wasn't much of a surprise to make such great time when we were the only ones on the streets and there was literally zero traffic impeding our way.
Departing the vehicle, I began filling my inventory with the more important and valuable items from the hoard of loot my robots stationed here prepared for us to load up. Completing that task within minutes, I assisted my mechanical men in loading the vehicles next and once every single last one of them was nearly filled to the brim along with the Hauling Bots; we left for the wasteland for the second time today.
...
Our return journey was as uneventful as the first which was to be expected since this was a low level zone that had little out here in the way of resources. Nonetheless, we were back once again at the Cyberdynamics Robotics Facility that I've yet to rename in less than an hour.
Since I've taken the place over, I suppose it's due for a name change. Now the question is what should it be... Well it is going to be my foundation out here in the wasteland so it wouldn't be such a bad idea to give a name along those lines. It's also going to be a sort of stronghold as well, so I can incorporate that into the name as well... Something like Cornerstone Stronghold could work. Yeah, that'll work.
Pleased with the name I came up with on the spot, I rode atop the big rig's roof till we passed through the rusted exterior metal fence's gateway and reached the loading area's interior. Alighting from the armored vehicle's rooftop, I landed on the concrete floor with a thud, and unloaded my item box of all its contents that weren't a part of my kit. Whilst my waves of workers were scurrying about handling the unloading and storing procedures, I headed upstairs to the check in on the girls.
Arriving on the fifth floor shortly, I proceeded to my shared living quarters on the most northeastern corner of the floor. A brief couple of minutes later, I came in through the doorway as my Multibots were streaming in and out of the room either mostly empty handed or with building materials in hand. What came into view as I entered was Alice and Rei wearing vibrant yellow construction helmets in a construction zone that was a good part of the way of being completed thanks to me being able to throw tons of tireless workers at any job or problem I wished to be taken care of.
"So it looks like things are progressing nicely." I commented, after walking up to the two women who were engrossed in directing the construction crew.
"Ohh, welcome back, dear." Alice responded, surprised to see me back so soon.
"Welcome back, babe. Did the trip go well?" Rei said right after Alice.
"Thanks and yeah, the trip went just fine. We didn't encounter a single issue, neither on our way there or back."
"That's good to hear." Rei replied, relieved to hear I didn't encounter any trouble in my travels.
Chatting with them for a wee bit, I asked. "So it looks like we'll have the place renovated by tonight. Do you girls want to go shopping for furniture back at the undercity tomorrow to fill the place out?"
"Of course." Rei answered.
"Nn, what time are you thinking?" Alice responded.
"I don't have any particular time in mind. So we'll just head out whenever we're ready, if you two are fine with that."
"We are." Alice answered for the both of them.
"Alright then, I'll leave you two construction managers to it and go retrieve more of my items and materials from the Genesis Foundry."
"Okay, good luck, dear."
"We'll see you when you get back, Babe. Have a safe trip."
Waving goodbye to the beauties, I checked in with the guys of our small group. And after making sure their own renovations were progressing well enough, I departed for the Nevada wasteland again and kept making trips back and forth from the undercity.

I'm going to get a fallout chapter edited and released for later today and tomorrow I'll probably have the next wasteland conqueror chapter done.
