// Well, so I woke up in that Seneca Station at around noon. I went to thank those
two ghouls.
"No problem, smoothskin, come back if ya got anymore o' those sugar bombs."
"Sure," I lied. I loved sugar bombs. I wasn't just going to give them out to people.
After that, I left the seneca station and went west. I saw a group of guys carrying
some guys with them. Slavers. I stayed back one of the buildings near Seneca. I
could barely hear them talking, but I could...
"Aha! We got those damn losers from the power station!"
"Yeah, weenies!"
"Hahaha! Eulogy'll pay us nicely for you!"
I wanted to help them, but I couldn't. Me up against two decked out slavers? They'd
mutilate me. Or just enslave me. I wasn't going to deal with that. I crept along back
south. Looks like the west was slaver territory. I saw an destroyed overpass ahead.
I could make out some buildings on top of it. A town? I assumed so. I saw a few guys
near the river talking. One was a tall old guy dressed darkly. The other seemed to
be a young guy. About my age. I went toward them.
"Who are you?" The older man asked me.
"Just a wanderer. You guys live in that town up there?" I asked.
"I do, but not Vance." The younger guy said.
"Oh, what's going on up there? How do you get up?"
"Well, you go on that side, " He pointed, "And you'll see a few wooden planks to walk
across."
"Oh, cool. Thanks. Where do you live?" I asked the older guy.
"Over there." He replied, not pointing anywhere.
"Oh, uh... ok. Thanks." I replied. I then walked over to the entrance to the overpass
town.
Arefu, the sign leading to the overpass said. Huh. I walked up and saw the wooden
bridges. I carefully walked across. Eventually I came across an older man pointing
an assault rifle at me.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" He asked me.
"I'm just a travler, why?" I told him.
"You're not one of them, are you?" He shook his rifle.
"Them?"
"The Family!" He yelled, "Are you?"
"Uhhh... no. I'm not, why?"
"They're a gang of bandits that keep messing with us!" He told me, holstering his gun.
"You need help?" I inquired.
"Sure, how about you kill all of those fucking bandits?" He whined, sarcastically.
"Maybe I can help some other way?" I asked him, "You need supplies?"
"No, we're fine. You should leave before they attack again."
"Are you sure...?" I went on.
"Yeah, we don't need you!" He snapped, "Leave, please!"
"Uhhh... ok, sorry, I guess..." I turned around and went back down. He seemed to
need help, but wouldn't accept any. Interesting.
As I was heading back down the kid from the river was walking up.
"Uh... hey." I greeted him.
"Eh." He replied.
Eh, whatever. This town was full of loonies, anyway. I went back down and saw a
brahmin pen to my left. Must belong to the town. I saw the older guy who was talking
to the kid in the distance. He was heading north. I contemplated following him, but
decided not to. He looked like trouble. I went west, looking out for slavers. If I
met with them, life as I know it would end. Soon. I saw a building in the distance. It
looked destroyed and had a few downed pole-like things around. It appeared to be
a pre-war power station. Was it the one the slavers were talking about? I hoped not.
Then again, they cleared the place out so they probably wouldn't return any time
soon. I traveled inside. The place was a wreck. Knocked shelves, ruined books, the
likes. It looked safe to spend the night. It was getting dark. I dropped my pack in the
corner and went back outside for a bit. I looked around the building for anything
useful. The night was getting closer, so I decided to head back inside. After further
inspection I saw a few glowing Nuka-Colas like the one I found in Springvale. I never
drank it, though. I sold it to Moira to inspect. I grabbed one of the three bottles and
popped it open. It made a soothing shhhh sound. I took the cap and threw it into my
pack. I drank the Quantum Nuka-Cola. It tasted... odd. Like sugar mixed with sugar
mixed with more sugar. Damn. It was intense. It tasted amazing, though. I grabbed
another one and gulped it down. All that soda made my bladder queezy. I went outside
to take a piss break. I was freaked as fuck to see that the damn stuff made my pee
glow! Holy Shit! I decided not to drink the other one, because I wasn't sure if it
had any negative side effects. I went inside and readied for sleep. I ate some Cram
and and YumYum Eggs. Nasty, but I wanted to finish it off before it spoiled. Even
though, out here in the wasteland, everything was spoiled.
I guess it's time for sleep now. Bye.
