Capítulo 302: Back to School!

After dealing with the 'escapees', it wasn't all that difficult to gain access to the terminal inside and alter which creatures would be introduced into the test. The Night Stalkers were regarded as 'Unusual Specimans', meaning whoever was running this place had no idea what they were.

All Afton had to do with swap the Cyberdog kennels with the Night Stalker ones, confusing the system and making it spit Night Stalkers into the test areas.

Hopefully, after Mobius is dead and everything else is finished, he'd be able to do something with the Cyberdogs.

With that he quickly returns to the terminal where he'd be able to access the test, he selects the basic test and is given a brief explanation over what his task was.

Apparently, he needed to retrieve three students files from three separate terminals, all the while fighting through the security systems that'd been set up. Afton wasn't sure how many tests he'd be forced to do before he could retrieve the Sonic Emitter upgrade, but hopefully it wouldn't take too long.

Of course, there was a way to fail the basic test... Death. But Afton wasn't planning on doing that anytime soon.

Once he'd selected the Basic Test, an alarm goes off and he can hear the room behind the metal door shifting, as if the test area was being moved around... He wondered if that was actually happening, or if some other mechanism was occurring... Moving rooms sounded pretty awesome to be honest, and Afton could imagine a whole manner of things he could do with them.

Once the sound of stone, concrete, and metal scraping around stopped, he entered the through the door. Finding himself in some sort of American highschool? The metal doors lock behind him with an audible *CLACK!*, but that isn't all... Borous seemed to have made some pre-recorded messages...

"ATTENTION STUDENTS! This is a pre-recorded voice of your pre-recorded principle!... Doctor Principle Borous!... You may know me as the head chief first researcher of labs Z-9 and Z-14. There I fought valiantly to preserve rattlesnake DNA and put it right back where it belongs, in the husk of another feared predator. Oh! And the tarantula hawk. Can't splice enough, I always say, especially if you can make a magnificent Cazador!"

Upon hearing this Afton didn't feel all that bad about guilt-tripping Borous now... He was obviously mentally unstable, enough so that he'd recreate the Highschool were he was presumably bullied. Borous' voice continues.

"Enough about ME! It has come to my attention that many of you SEEMINGLY innocent children have been subverted by Red Propaganda! This is a most serious matter, requiring the MOST serious of detentions! Can you spell detention? I'll tell you how I spell it: Deathtention. Commie-pinko-traitors, ALL!... Now I will send vicious Cybernetic cyberdogs through the corridors to weed all traitors out!"

Afton smirks, there wouldn't be any Cyberdogs here today. As Borous continues his diatribe against his school-time bullies from two-hundred-years ago, Afton looks around the room. Spotting various forcefields covering the place.

Most were covering trophy cases, and Afton was 'really' curious to see if they were made from actual gold, gold plated, or just useless trinkets. He wouldn't mind pocketing them after all was said and done... First he needed to acquire the Sonic Emitter upgrade though.

"Enemies approaching! I recommend approaching them aswell... To scare them off!" Nyx says, and Afton could already hear the rattle of the Night Stalkers tails.

As soon as the first creature stuck its head around the corner, it was blown off by That Gun, showering the hallway in blood and gore.

"NO LITTERING IN HALLWAYS! DEATHTENTION FOR YOU! More Cyberdogs!" Borous' pre-recorded voice exclaims, somehow detecting that he'd soiled the hallway...

[John Wick Style is in effect]

Panels in the walls open up and more Night Stalkers charge towards him. Afton draws Lucky in his other hand and just starts blasting... By the time his guns were empty there were twelve corpses at the door, despite the fact he only had a combined eleven bullets.

"Heh, now that's what I call a 'collateral'." he mutters as he rapidly reloads his weapons, finally stepping out of the room and coming face to face with a sentry turret. His eyes widen momentarily before he ducks backwards, avoiding the barrage of bullets that pepper the wall he was hiding behind.

Afton waited until the turret had stopped shooting, once there was a lull he retrieved his Anti-Material rifle from his back and quickly peeked up, delivering one shot to the turret and completely destroying it.

Once that was done Afton starts sneaking around the 'school' to find the various terminals. It was rather annoying to navigate about the place due to the impenetrable forcefields blocking access to various shortcuts. But he circled around and reached where he needed regardless.

The first terminal he accessed gave allowed Afton a glimpse into Borous' damaged psych... The information on the file he was supposed to retrieve was... Doctored, to say the least.

"Well, I guess this is what happens if you horribly bully someone who eventually grows to become a mad scientist... They give you a bad report card..." he mutters.

Afton wonders if Borous would have retaliated more severely had his bullies not (most likely) died during the great war. The almost psychopathic experiments being conducted upstairs didn't give him much hope, to be honest.

Afton shakes his head and downloads the files, making his way to the next area to find the other terminals. Of course, it wouldn't be a 'proper' school experience without vicious Night Stalker attempting to tear you limb from limb, as well as the sentry turrets placed at every corner...

Afton idly wondered if American schools in the Fallout universe did actually have sentry turrets hidden around... It seemed paranoid enough to actually be realistic, the 'red-menace-threat' was supposedly big enough to scramble even Borous' brain, let alone any other American citizen.

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.
