5 Chapter 5: Journey to Starligh (1/2)

Specter, you wanted my help? (Jones)

****

We have arrived back at Sanctuary and the group was shocked at seeing how clean and new the buildings were and the security of the turrets helped calm them down and having a new bed let them fall asleep quickly but the water and power was even bigger of a shock as they see that the use of the power lines are now working like before they started exploring the town and getting a new understanding of the layout. Specter is now talking to Jones.

Yes, I have something in Starlight Drive-in you know where it is? It's practically down the road from here. (Specter)

Yes, I know the place, had passed it multiple times before heading into to town. (Jones)

I want to go there but how we got attacked by a Giant Centipede I would like to have you join me on the way there. (Specter)

Understandable after all that thing was huge and strong running into it by yourself is not going to be the best outcome, sure I will help you get there. (Jones)

Thanks, I will help you out also once we get there as payment. (Specter)

I will bring Codsworth with us he can help. (Jones)

Sounds good, I need to fix up my Vault Jumpsuit so let's meet in Concord before the Museum. (Specter)

*************

Jones in his power armor and Minigun in hand as for Specter only in his Vault 111 jumpsuit it has been strengthened before leaving Jade help make the materials to get the upgrade, Codsworth who is just flying around with Jones standing before the Museum in Concord.

Ready? (Jones)

I am, let's go but do be ready for an attack at any time. (Specter)

Heading Southwest following the road right of the Museum if you stand before the door passing the Church Fog starts rolling in, the fog started getting harder and harder to see the further they walked until it's only allowing them to see a few feet away it became a horror movie a half-mile walk in they passed the split in the road going west and the road going straight, going south East that is the Road Straight that kept going.

Passing ruined vehicles, Jones spoke.

So Specter, why do you want to get to Starlight Drive-in? (Jones)

Before the war, I set up a base there, it's a vault with everything from ammo to guns and so the reason I want to get there is to gear up and have weapons that are not some pipe gun or hunting rifles but an actual gun and armor. I will also help supply you for helping me so you can have new things to help you out on your way to Diamond City. (Specter)

Master You Planned well before the war why? (Jade)

Why not? Having time and knowing the war was going to happen I prepared as for how I know but was unable to help my mother. (Specter)

Let me get this straight, you have a base with weapons, armor and the like can it still be fine after 200 years? (Jones)

Yes, I also have robots taking care of it and keeping the place running with enough items to last over 300 years I was set and ready. And with my mother working in the Vault 111 I was able to get information on the owner making a cryogenic pod that we woke up in. (Specter)

Shh! (Jones)

Looking over we see something moving in the fog, it's huge whatever it is, Specter pulled his Sniper out and Looked through the Scope, seeing that it is a Brahmin with stuff stacked up ridiculously high Specter spoke up.

It's fine it looks to be a person with a cow carrying their items. (Specter)

We walk closer and seeing the woman in blue, Jones spoke to her.

So what's your story? Looking to trade, rob me, or just ask directions to Diamond City? (Carla)

Just looking for love Sweetheart. (Jones)

Ha! Boy, have you come to the wrong place. My lovin' days have long since passed. (Carla)

But I'll tell you what, wise ass. You made an old girl smile, and that ain't easy. You want to do some trading, I'll give you a discount. (Carla)

Jones looked at the clipboard that had a list of what she has and showed it to me also, Specter looking at it then spoke to Carla.

You know where Starlight drive is at right? (Specter)

Yes, what about it? (Carla)

There is going to be a town growing there and if you drop by, there will be something for you to trade. (Specter)

That place is dangerous, people that try to stay there soon die, but if you do get a place set up and there and it has lots of people there then I will drop by and even get some other traders to stop by of course if you die then we will know that the place is dangerous and will just stay away from it. (Carla)

Higgins must have the Turrets activated and cleared the place out keeping the people away. [Specter]

That is fine. (Specter)

We need to get going. (Jones)

Handing her the Clipboard back they both bid there good by and continue on there way they passed the huge billboard sign only noticed it when it was not far the fog still covers the path making it hard to see and the road splits off again to the right going South West but more South then west, they see a robot moving to them quickly it's a Mr. gutsy not in the best shape, it did not say anything but started shooting a wall of bullets, we took cover as it fired, Codsworth flew over and flanked it as Jones used his power armor and blocked the bullets heading to Specter as he opened fire, Specter hid beside a tree and took the sniper out, taking aim and shooting it, the rusty metal blew apart but not all of it was in bad shape it continued shooting bullets as it rained them at them they had to hid and when he ran out of ammo and needs to reload Jones and specter even Codsworth all popped out of cover and shot back, with all three shooting the robot was torn to shreddeds sending Shrapnel of it's metal armor in all directions it fell down killing it but it was not easy it had done lots of damage to the power armor and might have died a few times over if it was not with them.

I am legitimately scared of Robots now! (Jones)

They sure can have a nasty bite at least the armor was weak over the years. (Specter)

Being alert they moved on the Road going as they walk they noticed the fog is clearing up a bit allowing them to see a few feet further, a sign appeared called Drumlin Diner, there were yelling and shouting coming from there.

We moved closer and saw two people outside with guns in hand and another two inside the shop.

I don't mind getting into other people business but only if I'm more armored and with better guns, it becomes a better outcome then. (Specter)

I agree we already almost died from a robot I would like to get to your place fist before meddling in other people business. (Jones)

They backtrack back to the road and continue heading South on the main road passing a few other destroyed vehicles and trucks for a mile and ⅓ they come across a derailed train blocking there way they stopped and look at each other.

We passed our turn... (Jones)

We did, the fog blocked our sight and we did not take a left but kept going straight we are just going to have to take the long path I guess. (Specter)

Might as well we got this far, but why not take the rail North East it will lead us right to it as there was a Railroad next to it. (Jones)

Okay, I remember seeing that rail, it is getting dark and I would like to arrive before night. (Specter)
