Capítulo 303: Giant Metal Doge
Afton continued through the test, tearing apart sentry turrets and butchering Night Stalkers as he went. Funnily enough, he even spotted a few Lobotomites fighting the Night Stalkers, having somehow broken into the test and been caught up in it.
Afton allowed them to kill each other before putting down the victor, afterwards collecting the next terminals data before moving to the second floor. The most notable thing about the whole thing is just how many forcefields were actually present.
Afton wasn't sure of their energy consumption but knew it had to be quite high, judging simply by their sheer durability... Even cuts from his Inversal axe and shots from his Anti-Material rifle did literally nothing.
He wondered if their uses weren't just limited to forcefields... Perhaps there was a way to decrease their size? He shakes his head, he'd be able to think more on that once this test was done.
The second floor wasn't all that different from the first, aside from the increased number of sentry turrets that he easily dispatched. The exit that'd been locked *clicked* open once he downloaded the last terminals files.
All in all, the test wasn't that bad... Less difficult than the Infiltration tests, he was fine killing things, but sneaking around proximity sensors? No thank you.
Once Afton left the test and entered into another lab-room, the intercoms chirped to life and Borous' voice began again.
"Loboto-... Mr Parker, you actually passed and reached the residential test, most of my colleagues didn't think you would... And yes, this is not a pre-recorded message, I apologise that you had to hear all that..." he says sheepishly.
Afton shrugs to himself and examines the room, taking great interest in the floating holographic depiction of the K9000... He sure the weapon had been designed here, but wondered if there were any better prototypes that he might find.
Regardless, he checks the terminal in the corner, but it only has vague information about the Y-17 Harnesses. Something about something dying while wearing one and the suit taking control, stealing a gun and starting to shoot everyone... Yep, sounds just like a horror story.
He heads into the hallway, walking past an observation window before having to backtrack to see if his eyes were still working... He wasn't sure if he'd had a micro-seizure or if what he just saw was really happening.
In the observation room Afton could see many Cyberdogs sitting on their hind legs with their tails wagging, all sitting uniformly while looking up at a projector that had a Vault Girl rubbing a dogs stomach... "If this is how these things are trained, I'll eat my shoes." he mutters, feeling like just this wouldn't be enough.
The intercom bursts to life again as he walks through the metal hallways, "Wasn't the residential test shut down for some reason?" Klein asks, his voice module not broadcasting his altered volume.
"Yes, Gabe proved too much of a handful so we just locked it all down... Perhaps feeding him psycho-laced dog food wasn't the smartest idea I've ever had..." Borous says.
"Good thing you replaced its legs with spare parts, that thing kept excreting on my lawn!" Klein states.
...
"All Gabe needed was a spritz to the NOSE to stop him doing that, how did I let you convince me CUTTING him apart and putting his brain in a bowl was a good idea!?" Borous says.
Afton raises a brow at the byplay while shooting a couple of Protectrons that seem to still be active around here. He passes through a couple workshops before eventually exiting back into the second-floor room where he'd initially entered the test.
Before he goes over to the terminal to activate the 'Residential Test' Afton spots a Holodisk on a nearby table that he hadn't seen before... He lifts the robotic scrap that was on top of it and reads the label it had... Cyberdog splice? Perhaps it's supposed to be used in the other experiment room where he'd created that human/robot abomination.
Shaking his head, he moves to the terminal and activates the 'Residential Cyberdog Guard Test', the sound of rooms moving behind the large metal doors immediately sounding out. It was enough for him to clench his teeth at the scraping sound that put him on edge...
Eventually, the grinding sound stopped, indicating that the test was accessible. Afton looks himself over to make sure he was ready before entering inside. Once he's through the door, he finds himself in a large cavern, there were a couple pre-war houses nearby, and the only thing illuminating the place was a large lamp hanging far above everything else.
Glancing around, he spots two huge dog bowls sitting outside a house, two large pipes hanging over them, presumably carrying food and water for 'Gabe'. Strangely, Afton still hadn't spotted the dog, something that should've been relatively easy consider it should be larger than most other Cyberdogs...
"It seems like Gabe buried the Sonic Emitter schematic... Bad dog!" Borous chides, but Afton still couldn't find the beast.
"Enemy detected... Above us!" Nyx exclaims, and Afton looks up just in time to see the huge head of Gabe looking down at him from the top of a building's roof.
Afton leaps out of the way just in time to avoid Gabe biting down on his previous position. The Cyberdogs vicious-looking metal teeth shredding apart a picket fence he'd accidentally caught instead.
Afton quickly backs away and is able to see Gabe's entire body... He looked like a regular Cyberdog, with the exception being that he was large than Afton. The dog was actually taller than him while still standing on all fours, add the fact that it'd been reinforced by cybernetics and had its mind altered by chems... Yeah, Afton wasn't really holding out much hope that he could spare this thing...
"Gabe! Don't attack the visitor! You remember what happened when you bit the mailman, don't you boy?" Borous continues trying to persuade Gabe, but that doesn't stop the dog from slowly stalking towards Afton.

Capítulo 304: BAD DOG!!!
Afton holds his arms out placatingly, "Down dog, good dogs don't eat people... Chill dog...?"
"Bad dog! Fibre-mesh does not taste good! Back!" Nyx joins him in trying to persuade the dog that he, and subsequently her, weren't edible.
Gabe just continues to approach, a deep guttural growl emitting from its throat. It circles around him as he's backed against the cave wall, Afton really wanted to save this dog... Not only because having a giant dog on your side would be useful, but because it would put him in Borous good graces, something he may need in future.
Unfortunately, the many chems Gabe had been forced to eat throughout his two-hundred-year lifespan had drastically affected his mind. Despite Afton, Nyx, and Borous' cajolery, Gabe releases a snarl before lunging.
Afton quickly reacts to the charging dog, jumping and kicking the dog in the snout as it tries to bite him, using the reaction of the dog to get thrown higher, kicking off of the wall and landing on its back. "Fine then! I'll kick the crap out of you and then we'll see how hungry you are!" he shouts as Gabe releases a howl, a sonic discharge slamming into the cavern wall and causing it to shake.
While Afton's on its back he grabs its fur to hold on before slamming his fist into the back of the dogs head, the force of which knocks it forwards and into the ground below.
He attempts another strike but finds Gabe rapidly rolling over, Afton's forced off of its body to avoid getting crushed under its metal parts, afterwards finding himself face to face with Gabe.
"I think you've made it angry!" Nyx states the obvious, sounding utterly terrified...
Not waiting for Gabe to make the first move, Afton steps forwards and punching it in the face. Wrenching its head sidewards and causing spittle to fly from the giant dogs maw. He's then forced to dodge backwards as it tries to bite his head off.
Avoiding the fatal attack, Afton raises both hands up and slams a hammer fist down onto Gabe's snout. This is apparently quite effective, as Afton is blown across the cavern by a sonic howl of the enraged beast.
[Grit is in effect]
His Perk activates as he takes damage, boosting his Strength to 12, though, whether this would be enough to overpower the beast is anyone's guess...
Afton shakes the stars from his head, trying to regain his bearing after getting thrown a large distance. Gabe is already upon him before he can react however, attempting to bite him again.
Afton thrusts his plant-arm forwards in an attempt to block it, and Gabe locks his jaws around it. Afton could feel its metal teeth piercing his limb, and groaned in pain despite the arm having much fewer pain receptors than a regular human one.
Gabe having finally found purchase on his target, tries to throw Afton around like a ragdoll, but for some reason, isn't able to... Unbeknownst to the giant dog, the cause of this is a Perk that Afton had taken quite early in his journey, [Stonewall], which makes him immune to being knocked down by melee attacks.
Still, this didn't stop Gabe's teeth from shredding Afton's arm. The only thing that stopped him losing another arm being the mutation that increased its durability.
In an attempt to get the dog to release his limb, Afton starts slamming his fist onto its snout, causing the animal a great deal of pain, but it still stubbornly keep hold. By this time, the bonus that Grit granted had increased to +4, boosting Afton's Strength to 14, and his Endurance to 12.
Afton roars as he grabs Gabe by the neck and LIFTS the dog, high in the air before slamming it back down. The impact of which causing the giant dog to let go of his mauled arm. He gives the downed animal the hardest kick he can muster which sends its body skittering across the cavern floor like a ragdoll...
He drinks in the air, breathing in heavily due to the pain occurring in his arm, as well as the exertion of lifting the animal.
"Med X and a Stimpack has been injected. Fight the good fight!" Nyx states, Afton ignoring her for now and turning to where Gabe had been thrown. The dog was tougher than he'd initially thought, if this continued he'd have to put it down, permanently.
Unfortunately, Gabe slowly got to his feet at the other end of the cavern, turning to face Afton while snarling, blood and saliva dripping from its mouth. Seems like it still wanted to fight... Fuck...
Afton looks around the cavern for anything that may be able to calm the animal... His eyes focus on one thing, from what he'd heard earlier, this may work... Or it may piss the dog off more. Regardless, if this doesn't work he's going to blow it's damn head off.
He breaks into a sprint, running towards Gabe's dog bowl as the giant dog chases after him. The dog was obviously faster than Afton, even despite his superhuman stats. The dog was rapidly approaching Afton once he reached the dog bowl.
The bowl wasn't the thing Afton intended to use however, no, instead he grabbed the waterpipe and bent it, pointing it towards Gabe before breaking off the valve, causing a large spray of water to smash into the dogs face.
"Bad dog!" Afton roars, unconsciously using his [Unnerving Presence] Perk to intimidate the beast. Nyx follows her user and begins chiding the dog as well, Borous doing the same over the intercom not long after.
Gabe himself after receiving a large spray of water to his face and snout seems to gather some degree of intelligence. Unconsciously sitting on his hind legs and whimpering.
"Bad dog! Sit!" Afton continues, hoping the dog wouldn't begin attacking him again...
