Kapitel 266: Twice Armed...

...

"DID... DID THE LOBOTOMITE SAY THAT?" Klein asks the others, having already gotten what Afton had said.

"*Bzzzch!*" 8 says, and Borous slowly starts floating away. Though, by the way the others were looking at him, he wasn't doing a very good job at hiding it.

"BOROUS! WHAT ARE YOU HIDING YOU GERIATRIC SIMPLETON!?" Klein exclaims.

"NOTHING!" Borous loudly says.

"Err, aren't we all technically geriatric Klein? Two-hundred years would make us double or even triple geriatric...-ness?..." Zero questions neurotically.

"QUIET DR. O! WE AREN'T HERE TO POINT OUT HYPOCRITES! NO! WE'RE HERE TO DEFEAT MOBIUS!... AND SOMETIMES SCIENCE!..."

"*BZZZZCH!*"

"That's a LIE! And you know it 8!" Borous states at 8's apparent insinuation.

Afton was beginning to get tired of listening to their back and forth babbling conversation... If he wasn't out to receive rewards from them then he'd have left already.

"Please, Dr. Borous! Even the Lobotomite can tell you're hiding something, and they don't even have a brain!" Zero gesticulates, pointing his manipulators at Borous.

"BOROUS! YOU WILL REVEAL WHATEVER YOU ARE HIDING, OR SO HELP ME! I WILL LACE YOUR BIO GEL WITH THE EXCRETIONS OF YOUR CYBER DOGS!"

"FINE!" Borous finally gives in, floating towards his own workspace and opening a case, the thrusters keeping the robot floating beginning to struggle under the weight of the new object he was carrying. "I still do not agree with giving the Lobotomite a gun... Guns are DEADLY!" the robot states, returning to the others with some sort of large machine gun in his manipulators.

"*Bzzzzch!*"

"Dr. 8 is correct. We have already given the teddy bear a lethal sonic deathray filled with his ejaculate and sterilized by my soft WoooOOOoo'ing... Giving the teddy bear a gun would be the equivalent of following a glass of hemlock with an abraxo chaser. Delicious and redundantly deadly." Dala concurs with 8's... Whatever 8 had said.

Dr. Borous seems to sigh and hefts the weapon in his manipulators up, "This is the Cyberdog gun K9000, with its floppy ears and curious nose sensor... You be sure to take good care of him! I'll plant a virus in your RobCo device if I hear you've hurt him!" he warns.

"WILL YOU JUST GIVE IT ALREADY? THAT THING MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE! ALWAYS WORRIED IT'LL START HUMPING MY CHASSIS!" Klein says.

Borous reluctantly drops the heavy machine gun in Afton's hands, and Afton is immediately caught off guard by the whimpering sound being emitted by the gun...

He examines it for a moment and is 'almost' appalled by the fact the gun literally contains a dog's brain in a dome filled with bio gel, not to dissimilar from Dr. Klein and his colleagues.

Truth be told, it was more akin to a mini-gun than a machinegun, the size alone would make most unable to properly use it. The casing was tough, heavy metal, and the barrel was separated into three that'd spin like a minigun's would. It had two floppy metal things on the top that resembled dog ears... Judging by the way they moved and responded to stimulus, it didn't seem like a bad guess either.

The gun didn't have any iron sights, instead, having an x2 scope. He could also tell it seemed to take .357 calibre bullets, a boon since such rounds were easily acquired in the Mojave. Last but not least, he checks it via his inventory.

[K9000 Cyberdog Gun]

Strength req : 8

DPS :182

DMG : 26

Crit dmg : 18

Crit mult : 0.06x

AP : 27

Weight : 27

Value : 14000

Special : Is able to sense its surroundings, and will alert the user to threats it detects. Will also become a life long companion that will never let you down!

Huh, the damage per bullet is actually quite high considering this thing is basically as Minigun. The DPS itself is insane! Compared to the Anti-Material rifle, it has triple the DPS! Of course, both weapons were strong in their own respective fields, but it will still very, very impressive.

The only problem was the fact that he'd be forced to lug around an incredibly heavy mini-gun that ate ammunition quicker than most people could realise... He didn't have enough .357 rounds to properly fire the weapon for any kind of long term use, and he doubted the scientists would have enough either...

Afton conned some more .357 bullets out of the scientists by acting like a fool who didn't know what bullets were. He was then given the Sink's central personality chip, one that would apparently reactivate one of the machines in the sink and allow him to trade and barter with it.

"I still think it would be more appropriate for the teddy bear to reside in my chambers, my radars would be the best suited to, slowly, scan its form and collect sensitive data." Dala says, causing cold sweat to gather on Afton's neck and back. Something about the creepy scientist made him want to run and never return.

"NO! OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE TOO CLOSE TO US, TURNING LIGHTS OFF AND ON, MOVING AROUND WITH THOSE... UGH! EXTREMITIES! NO. THE ATTIC IS THE BEST PLACE FOR IT TO BE." Klein states.

"What about the other personality chips?" Afton asks, "I remember seeing more than one machine in there that wasn't operating properly."

"WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER PERSONALITY CHIPS?" Klein parrots, seemingly confused.

"Are you... Echoing what he said, or are you asking for real?" Zero tentatively asks.

"He's asking, yes. Dr. Klein, there are other personalities. If you recall, you hurled them off of the Sink balcony after your argument with Mobius." Dala says.

"IT IS NOT AN ARGUMENT IF ONE IS CLEARLY RIGHT AND THE OTHER IS CLEARLY WRONG! I REMEMBER NOW, LOBOTOMITE. THERE ARE OTHER CHIPS SCATTERED AROUND THE RESEARCH FACILITIES IN HOLOTAPES. IF YOU WANT THEM THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO GATHER THEM YOURSELF." Klein states.

Afton raises a brow, couldn't he just recover the chips that'd been thrown over the balcony? Sure some would be broken but his [Mechanicus] Perk would correct that fairly quickly. Though, whether or not the personalities contained within the chips would remain is still unclear.

Kapitel 267: Smart Stupidity.

Afton slowly nods to himself, "Alright, now my second condition! I wish to retain all technologies that I may find in Big MT." he says, causing Klein to buzz and click as if he were having a malfunction.

"NO! THAT CANNOT BE ALLOWED! YOUR FEEBLE NON-BRAIN WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE MAGNIFICENT... MAGNIFICENCE OF THE TECHNOLOGY WE HAVE CREATED." Klein states before continuing, "I WILL NOT BUDGE ON THIS. NO MATTER WHAT YOU GIVE ME, OR THREATEN ME WITH!"

Afton just shrugs, "Alright then. Hey, do any of you have Mobius' number?" he casually asks with a small grin.

Klein turns towards his colleagues, "DID ALL THE LOBOTOMITES WE CREATED ACT LIKE THIS? BECAUSE I'M STARTING TO HAVE SECONDS THOUGHTS ON THE PROJECT!"

"No, Dr. Klein. Most became blood-thirsty savages that were more likely to tear off their own skinvelope than 'bargain', or 'think'. Our teddy bear here is just, unique in this regard." Dala says.

"URGH! LOBOTOMITE, YOUR SECOND CONDITION CAN BE MET... BUT! WE REQUIRE THREE PIECES OF TECHNOLOGY TO FINALLY PUT A STOP TO MOBIUS, MEANING THEY ARE OURS! NOT YOURS. OURS!"

...

Afton rubs his face... Hmm, well, his third condition would invalidate their stipulation anyway so he wasn't too bothered about it. "That's fine."

"NOW... WHAT IS YOUR LAST CONDITION, LOBOTOMITE?" Klein asks, his tone of voice grave, as if he were just about to send his children to war.

Afton smiles at them, and raises his hand, extending his index finger. "Just. One. Thing... I require... One favour from you, no holds barred, and can be used at any time, any place." he states.

8 interjects as they hear this, "*BZZZZCH!*"

"That's right! Dr. Klein, we can't accept that! The lobotomite could ask one of us to flux our own brains as revenge for misplacing his own!" Zero warns.

"BE QUIET DR. O, I BELIEVE I AM IN THE LEADERSHIP POSITION OF THE THINK TANK, AND THEREFORE I WILL MAKE THE DECISIONS!... LOBOTOMITE, WHAT DOES 'NO-HOLDS-BARRED' MEAN?" Klein asks warily.

Afton shrugs, "It means, no matter what I ask, it must be followed the maximum extent of your abilities." he states before continuing, "But don't worry, it won't be anything detrimental to your health... in-fact, I haven't even thought of what I want yet!" he lies, already thinking about how to word it to get the maximal advantage.

The robots look at one another before huddling as if they were coming up with a strategy for a football game... He can't hear much, but there's something about Zero insulting Dala by calling her a formogropher? or something like that...

Soon enough, the group reconvenes, once again floating over the spotlights like some sort of tribunal. "WE HAVE COME TO A DECISION!.... WE ACCEPT YOUR CONDITIONS LOBOTOMITE, FOR THE GOOD OF THE WOR-NO, FOR THE GOOD OF BIG MT!" Klein says.

"Great. Now, I'd like to hear what plans you have to actually deal with Mobius..." he asks, not having much confidence in their tactics due to what he'd seen in this long-ass conversation.

"DO NOT DESPAIR, LOBOTOMITE. I, HAVE A PLAN!" Klein states, and Afton was wondering if lightning was going to start behind the robot, a declaration like that would be followed by, 'USE MY DEATH LASER TO DESTROY THE MOON!'... Or something.

Klein continues despite Afton's wayward thoughts, "WE REQUIRE THREE PIECES OF TECHNOLOGY, THREE PIECES THAT YOU WILL RETRIEVE LOBOTOMITE. THE X-2 TRANSMITTER ANTENNA ARRAY, USED TO FOCUS COHERENT THOUGHT AT EXCESSIVELY HIGH FREQUENCIES."

"The psycho-analytic cardiac-dampening sneaky stealth suit, a suit like NOTHING this world has ever heard, seen, or could EVER see!" Borous lists the second off.

"*BZZZCCCHHH!*" 8 says, which is swiftly translated by Dala.

"And 8's Sonic-Soundwave-Emitter-Projecto-Gun-" She's cut off as Afton interjects.

"Didn't you just give me the Sonic Emitter? Why would you need another?" Afton asks, confused.

"*BZZZZZZZCH!* 8... says?

Again, Dala translates for him, "It is not the Sonic Emitter we specifically need, but the upgrade that will allow it to remove forcefields that may have been... Misplaced." she says.

"Yeah, like stealth-fielding my lab-keys... Dala." Zero whispers, but everyone else ignores him.

Afton sighs, "Alright, so an X-2 Transmitter, a Stealth Suit, and the Sonic Emitter upgrade... Anything else?"

"NO. THAT IS ALL WE NEED TO FINALLY PUT AN END TO MOBIUS... DR. O! GIVE THE LOBOTOMITE THE LAB LOCATIONS ON THEIR... WRIST TERMINAL." Klein says.

...

"I-er, yes! I'll use my robotical knowledge to er... Transmit the... Radiomap... Waves?" He trails off, an air of insecurity exuding from him.

"*BZZZZCH!*"

"What? The Lobotomite already has a full map of the Big MT? HOW IS THIS SO?!" Borous exclaims.

"He must be a spy for RobCo! I knew he couldn't be trusted!" Zero shouts.

"SILENCE!... LOBOTOMITE, WHAT IS YOUR SAD, AND MOST LIKELY PATHETIC EXPLANATION FOR THIS!?" Klein asks.

Afton scratches the back of his head and uses VATS to freeze time, yeah he'd need to come up with a valid reason for him to have what is likely top, top secret information about one of America's most advanced scientific facilities.

He hadn't thought that his [Explorer] Perk would cause so much trouble for him when he got it... He sighs to himself, hindsight is always 20/20... Hmm, well, hopefully his Speech Skill will assist him in making shit up.

He stops VATS and goes to address the robots, "Why do I have a full map of Big MT? Because I have a full map of everywhere in America." he states. "I managed to break into the... Pentagon. and recover large swathes of information, most of which being locations of import to the United States."

Afton observes their reactions and hopes the bullshit he'd just spewed would be enough to-

"GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME." Klein states, followed by affirmations by the others.

Huh, that was easy.
