Chapter 633: Super

Afton makes sure to deliver some breakfast to Josie once he's back, afterwards immediately heading to the teleportation area where his 'guests' had just arrived. Marcus and a huge group of Supermutants and Nightkin had just arrived, all of which were looking very eager to fight. Which wasn't surprising considering their race's usual violent preferences.

He steps forwards and gives Marcus a firm handshake, "You guys ready for this? I doubt it'll be easy." Afton cautions, not wanting them to charge into something they weren't expecting.

Marcus just nods, "We are ready. This is as much for us as it is for you.. They are experimenting on our brothers, even without the debt we owe you, we'd have accepted this fight regardless."

"Good, good." Afton mutters genially before gesturing the group to follow him, "Come on, you guy's armour is ready, along with a selection of weaponry you can choose from... I'll warn you though, some people in Bulwark aren't all that receptive to mutants yet."

"It's alright, Afton. We are all used to discrimination. As long as no one attacks us, we will be as civil as any human." Marcus states.

Afton nods and continues to lead the group towards the building that'd be fitted with the Supermutants gear... Why did he not take them to the actual armoury? Well, as much as he trusted Marcus, the Nightkin following him have a tendency to act erratically due to their schizophrenia... The last thing he needed was a violent group of Nightkin taking over the most dangerous armoury Earth currently had to offer.

The group pass by many Bulwark residents, and while most either ignore them or give friendly smiles, the former Brotherhood members look on with mild shock and indignation. For some, Ghouls were the most they could tolerate, but now actual Supermutants, the creatures created to supersede mankind were offered a red carpet, armour, and weaponry? Had they not already been warned of this and the consequences for acting out by Glados, a fight might've broken out there and then.

Eventually, they reach the armoury after passing by a few of the many farms in place. The building is larger than average to accommodate the Supermutant's larger size, and the front had a larger than average garage door, that Afton opens with a switch, revealing the armoury to the grinning mutant army.

Now, as fun as equipping the Supemutants with Power armour sounded, there simply wasn't enough time or Saturnite to do such a thing. Most of the Saturnite had been used when plating the Ultimo-Bot army that invaded Hoover Dam, so they'd need to synthesize more if he wanted to do any more large scale projects.

Thus, the Supermutants armour lacked the complete bodily coverage that most Bulwark armour provided. Though, the small amounts of Saturnite lefts from the army had been used to create chainmail-like armour that covered the chest, stomach, and crotch, with Deathclaw leather protecting the arms and legs. Of course, the chainmail also had a layer of Deathclaw leather covering it, primarily to stop it from overheating too quickly.

This was far more armour than even the highest rank Supermutants would be able to get however, their bodies alone were resistant to bullets, so the additional protection would go a long way... This is also why Afton chose to focus more on the Supermutant's helmets, as a surefire way to put one down was a clean shot to the eye, or a powerful shot to the head.

The helmets themselves held more saturnite than the rest of the armour combined, it covered the entire head except for the face, where a shield would take its place in a similar fashion to Afton's power armour visor.

The Supermutants watched in silent awe as Afton helped Marcus into his own armour, all of them jumping slightly as the armour automatically adjusted its size to suit Marcus, along with the face-shield activating.

"OOOooooo?!"

Marcus gives the shield a tentative touch and watches the ripples occur in the shield, "This is strange... Will it hold up?"

Afton nods, "Yeah, as long as the electronics in the helmet aren't damaged, it'll block basically everything." he states, deciding not to mention that he's the one person that possesses the specific frequency that can disable such forcefields.

"Alright, we'll see to the rest of you getting fitted, but first let me show you the weapons!" he announces, receiving approving grunts from the crowd.

He presents the various weapons he'd set out to the mutants, miniguns, grenade launchers, Proton Axes, and rifles. Of course, everything he'd provided to the mutants had an inbuilt self-destruct system. If any were captured and deconstructed, they'd explode and destroy any technology that'd prove potentially harmful to Bulwark. Particularly the Proton-Axes... They were some fo the only weapons that the NCR or Brotherhood might be able to recreate that would be effective against Bulwark.

Their ability to cut through and damage Power armour, in particular, was something to watch out for.

"You guys should be careful with the axes, by the way, they might not look all that much right now, but I doubt you'll say the same once they'd cut off an arm or a finger accidentally... Watch." Afton states as he lightly swings the axe at the wall, cutting a few inches into the metal and leaving behind a scorched red wound.

He turns back around and grins towards the surprised-looking group, "Okay, now imagine the metal wall is your arm... Yeah, not pretty." he states before deactivating the weapon and tossing it to Marcus. "Alright! Suit up and pick your weapons, we leave in around half an hour to an hour! I'll give you a debrief and then we'll teleport right next to the NCR's base." Afton shouts as he steps outside, allowing Marcus to help his men suit up and get ready.

Chapter 634: Mutant

Macka Bree, head scientist of the BAL of the OSI felt like he was having a brain aneurysm... News had just broken about the NCR's catastrophic loss in the Mojave, and that they were pulling all forces from it immediately... Considering his rather close proximity to the Mojave, he'd had hoped that they would have warned him sooner! Sure, sending encrypted radio signals to the base took some time, but it doesn't mean he can't complain about it!

Plus the fact that one of the people that'd defeated and utterly humiliated the NCR happened to be someone he'd offended in almost every manner possible, he wanted to escape as soon as it was even remotely possible.

Unfortunately, due to the type of work they did at the facility, they needed to get many subjects either ready for transport, or incineration. Ultimately the choice was up to him, but while he was worried for his own safety, the progress they'd made on the various experimental subjects was extensive! It'd be a catastrophic disaster to their work if they were forced to incinerate them without properly studying them first!

Thus, he'd chosen to transport their experiments back to New California, and hope that no one would notice the random heavy convoy appearing from nowhere. He wanted to leave alongside the rest of the Mojave troops, but due to how long it'd take to anaesthetize the subjects and ready them for transport in properly equipped cages.

Fortunately, the NCR's ventures in the Mojave hadn't been completely futile. The BAL had come away with a Cybernetics expert in their captive Usanagi. He'd proudly pit his creations up against the Brotherhood of Steel now that they'd been augmented both biologically and mechanically... Though, he was still unsure how they'd stack up against Bulwark... From the radio he'd heard horror stories of the battle, thousands of indestructible robots fitted with incredibly powerful weapons? Their soldiers all equipped with armour better than even the Enclaves? Or their leader who was apparently a Psyker like himself?

Macka shakes his head and continues shredding files and packing away his equipment, hopefully they'd be out by tomorrow if they worked efficiently, that'd prevent anyone from apprehending them beforeha-

*CRACK!*

The loud sound of lightning occurs from outside, causing Macka to accidentally toss his half-shredded papers in the air. "W-what was that!?" he mutters while getting up and heading to the surveillance room.

*Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!*

The sound of discharging ballistic weaponry only makes his feet speed up, worried about who'd managed to find the secret facility...

He quickly reaches the surveillance room and looks at the wall of monitors which were displaying everything inside and outside the facility...

Most of the facility was actually underground, with the only thing visible from the surface a large, heavily fortified metal door peaking from a rocky mountain face... It looked somewhat reminiscent of a Vault, but more for private use than the one's housing Vault Dwellers...

Outside, he could see hundreds of armoured giants... Super mutants if he had to guess, all marching towards the facility... He turns an angry glare at the NCR trooper who was supposed to be keeping an eye on this, how the fuck did an army slowly march up without him alerting everyone?!

"S-sir! They appeared out of nowhere! Lighting hit the ground and they appeared from it! I swear!" the trooper quickly explains, hoping to not become another subject of the sick man's experiments.

...

The man's words cut Macka short, he'd heard rumours of how Bulwark travels so quickly, and lightning just so happens to signal their arrival, as if they were some sort of Transylvanian monster... Perhaps the trooper wasn't as incompetent as he first anticipated. "Keep an eye on the cameras and coordinate with the others to defend the facility! If you don't, we're all going to die here!" Macka commands.

It was well known that the facility only had one exit(that the others knew about), Macka knew a hidden exit but wasn't going to alert anyone about it as his research was far more important than their lives. He clenches his fist and feels his control over his body and other organic material tighten, becoming more controlled as he focuses on it... Perhaps he'd have to reveal his special abilities to his colleagues?... In the NCR's current state, it would be incredibly stupid of them to try dissect or capture him, especially when he could work for their own interests...

Hmm. He didn't know if the NCR troopers stationed at the base would be able to hold off a hundred or so Supermutants, so it'd be best if he prepared for his own battle... Nodding to himself, he quickly leaves for his laboratory, specifically where the test subjects were held.

Outside :

Afton, Marcus, and the army of Supermutants had just arrived outside the OSI facility and were now quickly marching towards the front entrance of the facility. He'd already noticed the cameras hidden around the area, but ignored them as in the end, they wouldn't really matter in the upcoming battle.

"Marcus, lead the others and make sure you only kill only individuals not on the list I provided you. I don't have to tell you how upset I'd get if you disobeyed such a simple order." Afton states, eyeing Marcus with an appraising glare.

Marcus just nods, "I'll have the men remember it, what will you do in the meantime?"

Afton looks back at the entrance of the facility, "I'll open the entrance for you, after that I'll sneak into the base and look for some people. Try not to get killed while I'm gone." he states as he breaks into a sprint towards the entrance.

As soon as he approaches the entrance to the facility, auto-turrets appear from the rocky mountain wall, all firing at him with high calibre bullets.
