Capítulo 600: Clear Vision
"You alright?" Afton asks, waiting for her to calm down.
She slowly nods, pulling her gaze away from the T.V, causing it to reset to the eagle-eye view of before. "S-sorry... I didn't think I would be bothered by that..." she mutters.
Afton pauses for a moment before leaning back again, resuming his earlier posture, "No, it's my bad for not considering that... Have you figured out what I wanted to show you?" he tentatively asks.
"T-the war?" she asks as even a fool could see the mounting conflict that would soon occur.
Afton nods, "Exactly, the war... I wanted to ask you, if you succeeded on escaping this place, what would you have done?" he questions, wanting to put things in perspective for the girl, who seemed to only take things at face value.
Confused and slightly frightened by the sudden change of subject, Shani drops into thought and for a moment and carefully considers it... She hadn't really had a plan after escaping if she were honest, she was more interested in fleeing from the immediate threat to her life... Which had turned out only to be a misunderstanding on her part... "I... I don't know?"
He nods, "Exactly. What do you think would happen if someone figured out your abilities? At best you'd only constantly be fearing for your life... At worst? You'd be pulled apart and dissect by one fo the various factions that have a vested interest in uncovering your secrets. You think the NCR, Legion, Brotherhood, or Enclave would be merciful?" he asks and she shakes her head.
"No... I don't." she admits.
He nods again, the sides of his lips upturning slightly, "I'm not telling you this to scare you, just to put things in perspective... This place is probably the only one that could guarantee your safety, not to mention the only place with the ability to follow through with it. Which is why I'm willing to offer you a place within it... Not as a maid, or whatever your doing now, but as an integral part of the system." he states and breaks into a full-blown grin as two mojitos appear just in time, lifting from under the table.
She squints at him as he picks up the drink and slowly sips at it through the straw, not willing to touch her own drink. "What do you mean? I don't know anything that could help you... And if you just want me for my abilities, wouldn't that make you the say as the others?" she asks with furrowed brows.
Afton chews the straw for a second before answering her question, "Well, you're not really wrong, but how your treated is something you should take into account... The NCR would imprison you and experiment on you, the Legion would probably try to use you as a broodmare to try and create superior soldiers, the Brotherhood would judge you as a mutant and execute you... And the Enclave?... To be honest, I'm not really sure what they would do." he admits but shakes his head.
"That's not the point though, the point is, you'll receive a high rank among Bulwark personnel and be able to choose your own fate... Your only duty would be to assist in matters relating to your abilities and Psykers in general, as well as reporting any visions you might have. I can even personally promise your safety." he says, trying to sip his drink but frowning when he realises he'd drank it all, afterwards taking Shani's untouched one.
"How could you guarantee my safety?" she inquires, "I know you own this place, but if people find out about my abilities, wouldn't they react badly anyway?"
Afton shakes his head and takes off his right glove, afterwards pulling up his sleeve and displaying his plant arm. "Well, considering we both possess supernatural abilities, I'd think it'd be in my own interest to make sure that doesn't happen." he says while manipulating his arm into various shapes... A boat, dog, screwdriver, and finally a large blade that looked almost metallic...
Shani watches on in awe, not having realised he was like her... She suddenly felt a huge weight lifted from her shoulders, as if freed from some unseen shackle.
Afton downs the rest of the drink and covers his arm again, "But... If you're still unsur-"
"I accept!" she interrupts, forcing herself to speak despite herself.
"Good." he states, tapping the table with his heel twice which causes two more drinks to arrive, this time two dirty martini's. He picks up both and hands one to Shani, clinking it with a 'cheers' before unceremoniously downing that one too.
...
"Should you be drinking like that?" she asks after a moment, wondering if her new boss is an alcoholic.
He shakes his head, "Not really, but, you know, relationship problems." he chuckles before turning his attention back to the T.V. "Now, before we do anything, I want to discuss how your abilities actually work... Can't do anything with them unless I understand how they operate." he shrugs.
Shani nods and goes on to explain every time she'd had a vision, the last of which being the one where she was being operated on by Dala and Afton.
Afton slowly nods while in contemplation, only to be interrupted when Glados' voice speaks over the intercom.
"Creator, Criminal Subjects 034 and 002 attempted to escape their imprisonment. They have been scheduled for express 'vacation' under Doctor Dala. Would you like to oversee the process or procedure?" the robotic voice asks but he shakes his head.
"Nah... 34 and 2? Those the one's that trie to molest some of the other slaves, yeah?"
"Affirmative."
He nods, "Do what you want with them then." he states noncommittally before continuing to think about what Shani had told him. It sounded like she could only receive visions that directly related to her, physically and or emotionally... Could he use this facet of the ability to control it?

Capítulo 601: Vise Person...?
...
Afton thinks for some time, before eventually getting an idea... If he truly wanted to make use of the ability, then he'd probably have to put Shani in the position for it to activate. That would involve putting her there physically, or having her emotionally involved with whatever will happen.
The only tricky part is, how would he do that? Or even, what would be a useful use for it?... Having someone able to see the future wouldn't be helpful if all they saw was themselves tripping over themselves or getting the wrong desert.
Thinking back to it, most of her visions involved times of great stress and potential danger... She said she hadn't had any visions since the one of her being operated on, so, it was likely a difficult thing to judge.
...
Well, the easiest is probably to just put her in danger... Or intend to put her in danger? He'd have to actually act for her to see a vision of it... So, maybe a timer that'd explode?... No... To be honest, this line of thought was more likely to turn her against him than anything else...
Maybe if he became close with her he'd be involved in her visions? That'd allow him to change the future accordingly, or at least, act on what it was about.
Still, a guttural feeling of disgust rose up in him at the thought of getting 'close' with her just to use her like that. He immediately rejected the notion of becoming intimate with her for such a thing, and instead thought on whether or not friendship was another avenue?... Maybe?... Regardless, it wouldn't hurt to try, worst comes to worst their friendship doesn't work out and it makes things awkward when they have to work together.
Just when Afton determines his plan of action, Shani's eyes roll to the back of her skull as she slump into the chair limply. Afton quickly gets up and calls for Glados as he begins checking Shani's condition, quickly noticing that she was somehow still conscious?
"Shani?" he quickly asks in a worried tone.
"Y-yes?" she mutters, still only showing the whites of her eyes.
"Are you alright? What's happening?"
"I-I think I'm having a vision...?" she mutters, sounding slightly disorientated.
Afton's face gains a look of concentration as he presses her, "What's the vision about?"
"Uhm... I... I see a hooded man... He's... He's lying down atop a rocky hill... He's looking down at Hoover Dam!" she chirps once she realises where she is.
"What's happening down at Hoover Dam?"
...
"I-erm... There's... A parade?" she mutters questioningly, "There's lots of people, they're watching the a stage... Someone's walking on the stage...? He's wearing a suit... Many masked, armed men follow him..." she carefully says.
A man in a suit presenting at a parade in Hoover Dam? Sounds like he's guarded by Ranger?... Afton's eyes widen as he questions her further, "Do you see a winged vehicle anywhere with golden two-headed bears on it? Or maybe a large convoy? Something that would transport things large distance?"
Shani unconsciously nods, "T-there is! Atop one of the towers..."
Afton grins maliciously, President Kimball. The Vertibird is called 'Bear Force One', and is the president's personal transport vehicle. Welp, looks like he'd be sending another person to meet Daisy in the afterlife. "Shani, can you tell what time it is? Can you tell where the sun is?"
"I-It's too cloudy to see..." she mutters, "T-the hooded man has a watch though... I-it's... It's 4 PM, the date... It's tomorrow!" she exclaims before suddenly passing out.
...
Afton's just left there next to the unconscious girl, just as many spiderbots arrive to take her into the Auto-Doc. Afton chews his lip for a moment before sending them off. He'd considered having them check her brain waves, but knew it was too late to scan them since the vision had ended.
As much as he'd love to continue contemplating this, he had things to do now... Apparently, President Kimball would be arriving at Hoover Dam tomorrow at 4 PM, so he'd have to make some preparation... As well as check on what the fuck his spies were doing... He knew when Crocker took a shit, so how did he not know what the President would be arriving!?
Quickly, he goes and starts organising everything, abandoning his other duties for the day. He knew the hooded man was likely Boone, due to the modifications that'd been made to Bulwark's stealth gear... For missions where you'd have to sit in the sun all day, an insulated hood was more than welcome... Come to think of it, did Boone even have a watch?
Afton shakes his head and has Glados prepare one, he'd give it to the man just in case, creating a paradox was the last thing he wanted to do. Wait... Why did Shani even have a vision of Boone?
"Urgh..." Afton feels like tearing his hair out. "Glados, have Boone and Shani had any contact since her rescue?"
"Negative."
...
So, either something happens in the future that has Shani emotionally invested in Boone, or, she already had a crush on the man?... Regardless, he'd need to take extra precautions, almost all of Shani's visions end up with some sort of disaster, with the vague exception of her latest one.
Whatever, once Kimball was assassinated, the destruction of the NCR would finally begin. He's about to get to work when Glados speaks up again.
"Creator, Subject Designated; Tamia, and the group assigned to her have not regained contact. What are your instructions?"
...
Huh, he thought they'd be able to contact Tamia once she reached the end of the Railway tunnel, but apparently, something had happened to prevent that... "Hmm, she could handle herself. Probably?... Send some patrols through the railway tunnel and search for any discrepancies, uh,er yeah... If you find any Cuthulu's hiding down there don't tell me about it, I'm definitely not dealing with that Lovecraft shit." he states before getting back to work.
