With their conversation concluded, Sico and Preston parted ways, each focused on their respective tasks to prepare the Minutemen for the deployment of the new vehicle. As they worked towards this goal, they knew that the fuel-powered truck would play a pivotal role in strengthening the Minutemen's capabilities and expanding their reach in the Commonwealth.
After parting ways with Preston, Sico made his way to Nora's office in the Minutemen HQ to report on the progress of the fuel-powered truck project. He found Nora reviewing reports at her desk, and he approached her with a sense of accomplishment.
Sico: "Nora, I wanted to update you on the fuel-powered truck project. We've successfully completed the prototype and conducted a test drive, which went very well. The truck performed admirably, and we're now moving forward with further testing and training for Minutemen drivers."
Nora looked up from her work, her expression attentive as she listened to Sico's report. She nodded in acknowledgment, clearly pleased with the progress they had made.
Nora: "That's excellent news, Sico. It sounds like the project is moving along smoothly. I'm glad to hear that the prototype met our expectations. How are the preparations for training Minutemen drivers coming along?"
Sico proceeded to brief Nora on Preston's initiative to assemble a team of volunteers for driver training and emphasized the importance of thorough preparation to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the drivers.
Sico: "Preston is taking charge of assembling the team of volunteers for driver training. Safety is our top priority, so we're making sure they receive comprehensive training on vehicle operation and maintenance. Once they're ready, we'll be one step closer to integrating the fuel-powered truck into our operations."
Nora nodded in approval, impressed by the dedication and diligence of the team in moving the project forward.

Sico thanked Nora for her support and assured her that they would continue to progress with the project. With their conversation concluded, Sico left Nora's office with a renewed sense of determination to see the fuel-powered truck project through to completion.
After leaving Nora's office, Sico made his way to the testing ground where Mel and his team were busy assessing the condition of the fuel-powered truck prototype. He found Mel surrounded by his team, who were conducting a thorough inspection of the vehicle.
Approaching Mel, Sico greeted him and inquired about the progress of the prototype and their capacity for production.
Sico: "Mel, how's the condition of the prototype? Any issues that need addressing?"
Mel glanced up from the prototype, a stack of books in hand, and nodded to Sico.
Mel: "The prototype is in good condition overall, Sico. A few minor adjustments are needed, but nothing major. We'll have it ready for further testing soon."
Sico nodded in acknowledgment before proceeding to his next question.
Sico: "That's good to hear. Now, regarding our production capacity, how many trucks do you think we can prepare in a month?"
Mel flipped through one of the books he was holding, referencing some calculations and notes before responding.
Mel: "Given our current workload and team capacity, I'd estimate that we can build around two trucks per month. Our team is split between working on the anti-aircraft gun project and this one, so that's the most realistic timeframe."
Sico considered Mel's assessment, nodding in understanding.
Sico: "Understood, Mel. Let's aim for that target and work efficiently to meet our goals. We need to ensure quality while maintaining a steady pace of production. Thank you for the update."
Mel nodded in agreement, returning his focus to the prototype and his team's assessment. Sico watched for a moment before turning to leave, satisfied with their progress and confident in their ability to continue moving the fuel-powered truck project forward.
After leaving the testing ground, Sico made his way to where Sturges and his team were conducting maintenance on buildings around Sanctuary. He found Sturges overseeing a group of Minutemen working on repairs and improvements.
Approaching Sturges, Sico greeted him and explained the need for a designated area to park the fuel-powered truck and store the fuel in the future.
Sico: "Sturges, good to see you. I need your expertise on a project related to the fuel-powered truck. We'll need a designated area for parking the truck and storing the fuel. Do you think you and your team could build something suitable for that purpose?"
Sturges looked up from his work, considering Sico's request before nodding enthusiastically.
Sturges: "Sure thing, Sico! We can definitely work on that. I'll gather my team and start planning the layout for the parking area and fuel storage facility. It's important to have a secure and accessible space for the truck and fuel."
Sico thanked Sturges for his willingness to take on the project and emphasized the importance of ensuring the area was well-designed and efficiently organized.
Sico: "Great, Sturges. Let's make sure it's well-planned and built to last. We'll need it to accommodate the truck and store enough fuel for our operations. Keep me updated on the progress, and let me know if you need any assistance."
Sturges nodded in agreement, already formulating ideas for the parking area and fuel storage facility. Sico left him to his work, confident that Sturges and his team would handle the project with their usual skill and dedication.
After discussing the fuel-powered truck's parking and fuel storage with Sturges, Sico proceeded to the militia department to meet with Preston. He found Preston coordinating various activities, and he approached him to discuss overseeing the training for Minutemen to operate the truck.
Sico: "Preston, I've just spoken with Sturges about setting up the parking and fuel storage for the truck. Now, we need to focus on training Minutemen to operate it. Have you made any progress on that front?"
Preston looked up from his tasks, a determined expression on his face as he addressed Sico.
Preston: "Yes, Sico, we're making headway. We've identified a group of volunteers eager to learn and handle the truck. We're sorting through their experience levels to tailor the training accordingly."
Sico nodded, acknowledging Preston's efforts and the importance of selecting suitable candidates for training.
Sico: "That's good to hear. Safety is paramount, so we need to ensure the drivers are well-prepared. Let's organize the training sessions and focus on both theoretical knowledge and practical skills."
Preston agreed, already planning the training regimen to cover all necessary aspects of operating the truck safely and efficiently.
Preston: "Absolutely, Sico. We'll cover everything from vehicle mechanics to road safety and handling. I'll coordinate with the volunteers and set up the training schedule. We'll make sure they're ready for the responsibility."
Sico expressed his gratitude for Preston's dedication and emphasized the importance of thorough training.
Sico: "Thank you, Preston. Your efforts are crucial to the success of this project. Let me know if you need any support, and keep me updated on the progress of the training."
Sico nodded in appreciation of Preston's dedication before turning his attention to the logistics of the training program.
Sico: "Preston, how long do you estimate the training will take?"
Preston considered the question before responding.
Preston: "Given that most of our volunteers have only theoretical knowledge and no real experience with driving, I'd say it will take about a month to ensure they're fully proficient in operating the truck."
Sico acknowledged Preston's assessment, understanding the importance of thorough training to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the Minutemen drivers.
Sico: "Understood, Preston. Let's make sure they receive comprehensive training during that time. Safety is paramount, and we want our drivers to be fully prepared before they take the wheel."
Preston nodded in agreement, reassured by Sico's commitment to prioritizing safety and thoroughness in the training program.
Preston: "Absolutely, Sico. I'll make sure the training covers all the necessary aspects of operating the truck safely and effectively. We won't rush it—we'll take the time needed to ensure they're ready."
