40.05% Steel Waste / Chapter 284: Token Juke Box?

Kapitel 284: Token Juke Box?

Honestly, out of the selection, the only ones Afton might actually pick would be [Unstoppable force], [Lady killer], and [Meltdown]. Each had its positives and negatives, but with the way everything was going, [Meltdown] was the best choice.

First of all, it'd make dealing with the Robo-Scorpions much, much easier. The [Meltdown] explosion was most likely considered an Energy attack as well, meaning that if used against a large group, it'd trigger a chain reaction and destroy everything.

Of course, it was useless against single targets, since it was triggered by their death. But that didn't make it any less useful. This, combined with [Uncivilized Weapon], a Perk that doubled the damage that Energy Weapons did only increased his want for it.

Deciding that if he really needed to, he'd take one of the other Perks next time, he takes [Meltdown] and immediately toggles it off. He didn't need any mishaps inside of the Think Tank, especially since there was apparently an army of tiny spider robots that could trigger a chain reaction akin to a nuclear bomb...

Time resumes, and Afton starts heading back up to the Sink. He didn't have much else to do down in the Think Tank for now. Once he's through the door and waddles towards Alfred the robot begins to address him.

"Oh my! Sir, you appear to be heavily injured! Quickly, use some of those bottle caps and purchase some medical supplies. I would shunt you towards the Auto-doc but he it is currently indisposed." the robot urges.

"I'm fine Alfred, just need some rest and I'll be as good as new." he says, wondering if he should spend some time on the balcony to catch some sun and utilise his [Solar powered] Perk.

"If you are entirely sure, sir. It won't stop me from agonizing on your condition, but so be it. Is there anything else I might be able to do for you?"

Afton shakes his head, "Not at the moment, but thanks for your concern." he says, heading into the next room and falling into the sofa, using a small table to prop his legs up. He breathes a sigh of relief and reaches into his satchel, pulling out the damaged personality chips he'd managed to pick up earlier.

He'd spent around a day with them, so he hoping to see some progress in repairing them... Out of the nine chips, only one seemed to be improving... No, scratch that, one looked brand new, while another looked like it was in the process of being repaired.

He looks at the fixed chip and uses his Pipboy to see which one it belonged to.

[Blind Diode Jefferson Personality Moduel]

Hm, which one did this actually belong to... Was it a nickname for one of the machines lying around? It had ot be as he couldn't think of anything that related to it.

"Alfred! Which robot is called Blind Diode Jefferson!" he calls out, not wishing to get up from the couch.

"No need to shout, sir." a voice says from behind him, almost causing him to leap out of the chair and start firing at it. Turning his head, he spots some sort of grating in the wall, probably hiding a sound system. "Ah, yes. I have access to the entire Sink, this allows me to moderate between the separate personalities should a row become too obstreperous..."

"Huh, that's... Handy?" he mutters, wondering if someone would be able to hack Alfred and use him against Afton... Yeah, that would need to be rectified. Sure, he didn't have to worry about the Think Tank trying it, as Zero was more than useless in that regard... But outside sources like Mobius, the NCR, Brotherhood, or maybe even the Legion may be able to. "I am quite worried about potential security risks concerning that... Alfred."

"No need to worry, sir. The only way for someone to gain access to my systems would be if they personally infiltrated the Sink. My old creator, Doctor Mobius had sabotaged the Auto-Doc before he left, but I assure you that was the only threat to you. One that has now passed..." Alfred reassures before continuing, "As to your question, the personality known as Blind Diode Jefferson should be the sound manipulation device, ah-er, the Jukebox, sir." he corrects after using the more complicated term.

"Your opinion on reactivating it?" Afton asks.

"As I said before, sir. It is best to activate the personalities and subsequently turn them off, leaving their functions usable. Though, Blind Diode Jefferson is one of the more... Personable personality's."

Afton nods, "Alright, that'll be all for now Alfred." he says, forcing himself off of the couch before approaching the Jukebox. Honestly, it reminded him of one of those big 1940's Jukeboxes you'd find in a diner. Though this one looked much more high-tech. Hopefully, it'd have more music to play than the same ten or so songs that played over the radio...

After fiddling around for a bit, he finally finds the input for the chip, sliding it in and taking a step back as the machine booted to life.

"Ooo-ee! Yeah, dig that sweet music! Damn, it's good to be back on-line!" the Jukebox says, sounding like a mixture of Stevie Wonder and Shaquille O'Neal. "My, oh my. Need to brush off this dust and get my groove back, feels like I was broken apart and put to-gether A-gainnn."

"Hello, er, what's your name?" Afton asks, not wanting to call it 'Blind Diode Jefferson' everytime he needed to speak to it.

"Man, just call me Blind, or Jefferson, whatever suits your Banana Boat." he chuckles.

Afton smirks, he was starting to like this old jukebox. "So, what do you do?"

"Dig, I'm an acoustical wizard, kid. Ol' doc Mo used me to prototype his sonic weapon designs. I can hook you up with any which one you feel a desire for."

Kapitel 285: Racket

"Sonic weapon designs eh? Does that include Sonic Emitter frequencies?" Afton asks.

"It mo-st certainly does." the robot almost purrs back.

"Alright, err, could you list them out for me? If possible, from weakest to strongest."

"Weakest to strongest? That is not how frequencies work, kid. Each has their own style. Their own tune to play to. Just because you may not die to one, doesn't mean the other's won't make you pop like an over-filled balloooon." the robot chastises.

...

"Er, okay then? Could you just list them out then?" he asks again.

"As my master, requests... Cracker-jack." he then proceeds to list some, Afton takes the time to use them and observe them via his inventory to get their proper statistics.

It was strange, the base gun (Revalation) was so much weaker than all the others... Sure, the paralysing effect could be useful, perhaps it could even be used against the Brotherhood of Steels Liberty Prime, but other than that Afton saw no use for it.

Compared to the other frequencies that could literally cause people to explode into bloody gore, get knocked back, or even forced to spontaneously combust. It really was a letdown.

So, that brought to question... Which one would suit him the best? Well, it's obvious isn't it? Afton is currently faced with an army of Robo-scorpions that would very much like to tear him a new asshole. So, the suitably named 'robo-scorpion' frequency would be his pick.

Right now, it'd do significantly more damage to robots than even a full-on Anti-Material rifle shot, due to his [Uncivilized Weapon] Perk. add the other effects and it was more effective to shoot them with the Sonic Emitter than head-shotting them with his rifle!

He was already beginning to salivate at the thought of the frequency explosion combined with his [Meltdown] Perk's explosions... Hopefully he wouldn't make the Big MT crater even more, 'empty'.

As for the other frequencies? The only other one that he could see value in was the opera one. And that was only because if the demoralization effects it could have... Imagine someone walking up and firing an almost invisible energy wave at your friend, immediately afterwards causing all of their limbs to explode from their body... Yeah, Afton would shit himself too.

"Tune it to 'robo-scorpion' please, if you can Jefferson." he asks the juke-box.

"I gotchu master, one no-nonsense robo-destroyer comin' right up."

Afton doesn't even have to do anything except hold the Sonic Emitter close to the Jukebox, a strange humming sound occurs which causes the Emitters frequency tracker to turn yellow instead of the blue it had previously been.

"There. Now, I'll only tell you this once, kid. Don't play with it in here, unless you want my inside parts, outside." Jefferson cautions, not wishing to be imploded by a gun he himself modified.

Afton smirks at the jukebox, "I'll try not to... Oh, by the way, can you play music? I'm sick of hearing the same ten songs play over the radio..."

"That I can, I'm in a good~ moood. So we can lay off the blues today, let's just play some smo-o-oth jazz." Jefferson says, beginning to play some classic jazz, a saxophone quickly blaring from the speakers around the Sink.

"Nice. I'll see you around Jefferson." he says, meaning it as he literally couldn't avoid the jukebox that sat in his living room...

Afton waddles to the balcony and takes in some sunlight, his skin greedily absorbing it... After a couple hours of this he comes back inside and hears the intercom spark to life, allowing a familiar voice to come through.

"FOR THE LOVE THAT IS SCIENTIFIC AND INTELLIGENT, WILL YOU TURN THAT RACKET OFF!" Klein shouts, clearly annoyed by the jazz Jefferson was playing. If he were honest, it was quite loud, maybe it played throughout the Think Tank as well?

Smirking, Afton looks to Alfred, "Can Klein hear me?"

"I'll connect you to the building's intercom, sir... The Think Tank can now hear you."

Afton nods and coughs into his fist, "If you hate it so much Klein, then you can come up here and turn it off. Don't be afraid, I am just a 'simple lobotomite'" he taunts, not forgetting what the scientists had done to Christine. Especially now that the Pacification field wasn't altering his thoughts and emotions.

"WHAT!? WHY YOU... DR. O! GO UP THERE AND TURN THAT BRAIN-NUMBING SOUND OFF!"

"No can do Klein... besides, it's been a while since I've been able to listen to music... Ever since you destroyed all of 8's music players." Zero adds.

Hope you bois liked the chap, if I missed anything please let me know.

Oh, and in the game Mobius removes all songs from Blind Diode Jefferson, but I personally think it was just because Bethesda didn't want to pay for anymore songs to play... So, I'm retconning it. If any of you wish to complain you can go here : Notarealemail5138008@ThinkTank.com
