บท 288: Halo Ring?
The Y-13 harness falls to pieces and Afton throws the two axes at the remaining ones. Both hitting the enemy's in the chest and causing them to fall to the ground while spasming, the electro-magnetic effect of the weapons causes havoc upon suits mechanical insides.
Yeah, these things might be tough against anyone else, but with all his Perks and physical statics, they don't really stand a chance... Putting away his axes, he stuffs their weapons in his backpack before heading off to his next destination.
Unexpectedly, there weren't all that many interesting things inside the concrete hexagonal forest. Sure there were a few landmines he had to keep an eye out for, but other than that this place was pretty barren.
It didn't take long to reach the next location of interest, Lightwaves Dynamics Research. The building looked similar to the last one, like a regular warehouse you'd see in any arid parts of America...
Afton did notice a couple creatures patrolling the outskirts of the building though. They walked on all fours and had a similar body shape to mountain lions, though their heads looked reptilian, like a snake's. Their tales also appeared to resemble rattle-snakes, as opposed to regular mammals.
All in all, Afton was 99% sure these things were biologically engineered. It just didn't make sense that a mammal would mutate to acquire reptilian features. Regardless, he recognised what they were from his time in the Brotherhood... Night Stalkers. Incredibly stealthy, and deadly predators, that can be found throughout the wasteland.
The Brotherhood wasn't sure where they originate from, but if Afton had to guess. He'd say the Think Tank may have had a hand in them... Especially considering the fact that no creatures could enter or leave due to the tesla fence surrounding the crater.
It didn't take long to pick them all off with his Anti-Material rifle. By the time they found where he was shooting from most were already dead. Their tough skin didn't do much against .50 calibre bullets. With that done, he headed to the doors of the building.
Once inside, however, this place was completely different from the last facility. It was a huge single room with metal stairs leading up to a balcony at the end of the opposite side, overlooking everything around it. It was very dark, but in the middle of the room was some kind of light beam? It travelled from the roof to the floor and appeared to be holding something up at around head height.
He wasn't sure what the purpose of the light was, but upon closer inspection, he spotted some kind of... Ring? Floating in the light. Now, he wasn't about to put his hand inside something that could potentially liquefy all of his organs instantly, even with his [Miracle Maker] Perk.
So, instead he just broke a nearby table and tossed a couple of wood shards through it... And was baffled when they halted in midair... No, not halted, just moving very, very slowly. As if their time relative to his own had been affected by the light.
He scratches his head, "The fuu-uck?" he mutters, wondering what this was, or why it functioned like that. Ignoring the beam of light for now, he headed up the stairs and almost expelled it bowls when he came face to face with a GHOST!...
...
No, not a ghost. Just a hologram? It turned to look at him but didn't do anything else... Afton waves his hand at it and finds his hand going straight through it. "Er, do you speak?" he asks, but doesn't receive an answer.
He spots a terminal nearby and accesses it, finding a few emails explaining that the 'hologram' project would have been scrapped without 'Sinclair's request'. This was the guy who supposedly created the Sierra Madre, the place Christine had chased Elijah to...
Afton continues investigating and finds a number of controls around the room, there were a couple large generators in the corner of the room, giving off a low hum as they continued to produce power for this facility, even 200 years later.
It was slightly distracting to work on the machinery while the ghostly figures of the holograms were walking around, but he couldn't really do much about them right now... Though, he found a button he was sure would turn them off and pushed it, causing the beam of light in the middle of the room to shut off instead of the holograms.
Shrugging to himself, he spots that the pieces of wood that he'd thrown earlier had dropped to the ground now that the light wasn't putting them in stasis. And, now that the light wasn't there, he could clearly see the other object that had been suspended.
The ring of light was now on the floor, slowly pulsing but giving off no sound whatsoever. Afton tentatively picks it up and finds that its material is incredibly light, flexible, and feel like nothing he'd every felt before.
Using his Pipboy, he examines it to see what exactly it was...
[Valence radii-accentuator]
DT : 3
Weight : 1
Value : 10000
Effects : +1 Endurance, gradual health regeneration.
...
"Are you supposed to wear this?" he mutters to himself, fiddling around with the ring of light. Honestly, it looked like a halo that angels were depicted to have... He rests it atop his head and looks up in wonder as it comfortably floats above his head. He immediately noticed some feeling of warmth slowly wash over him, perhaps it was the health regeneration aspect?
This was interesting technology, but he wasn't sure whether he could wear it outside of Big MT... What would people think if they saw him walking around wearing a literal halo? Yeah, that'd draw too much attention.
Regardless, he'd keep it on during his stay in Big MT... Hopefully he'd find some way of making it more translucent or something.

Niggross Yeah, I wasn't really sure what to make of the Valence radii-accentuator's during my initial playthrough of the DLC... They just seemed so... out of place?

บท 289: LOOT ACQUIRED!
Afton exits Lightwaves Dynamics Research and finds himself back in the hexagonal concrete forest. Fortunately, there weren't any ambushes waiting for him like last time. He glances up and flicks the fluctuating ring still floating above his head which causes it to wobble, but slowly stabilises.
Yeah, he was still unsure how it functioned, but he had plenty of time to ask the scientists when he returned. Over in the distance, he could see the X-13 Research Facility, so he quickly started heading towards it.
There weren't any more Night stalkers patrolling around, so it was very easy to make his way to the facilities door. Not wasting any more time, he enters inside and finds himself in a brightly lit room, reminiscent of the old Brotherhood bunker he used to live in.
Of course, there were some differences. The main being that there were bright blue lights attached everywhere, looking like the veins of the facility as they snaked through the floor, walls, and roof.
He steps out into the hallway and spots a locked door on his right, but ignores it for now. Choosing to check the open door on his left. Inside he's greeted with a lab of some sort, most likely robotics considering the scrap metal and electronics lying around.
One side of the room held a whiteboard with design suggestions, as if someone had held a meeting and discussed what product they wanted to design. Of course, there were many terminals sitting around, all of which appeared to be working.
Ignoring the terminals for now, Afton focussed on the large strange desk? sitting in the middle of the room. It looked like a counter and seemed to be welded into the ground, the top of it glowed and depicted some sort of suit? Most likely the stealth suit he had been asked to retrieve.
The suit depiction had its arms glowing green as opposed to the rest of it that was just white... The reason for this? Probably due to the physical stealth suit arm pieces sitting atop the desk. Afton examines them for a couple moments, taking a keen interest in the really, quite astounding work that'd gone into them. Whoever had designed them were certainly talented and knew what they were doing.
He skimmed through the terminals while he was here, finding many entries detailing the research and development of the suit. Though, as much as Afton would like to stick around and learn all he could, he did have a task to do. Once Mobius was gone he'd definitely be coming back here though.
Afton takes the arm pieces and heads to the next open room in the hallway, seeing a similar set up but with a desk topped with boots this time. The relevant armour depiction glowing green to indicate he had the right component.
Once he'd scoured the room for anything else to loot, he headed back into the hallway, around a corner and into the last open room. Again, there was a desk topped with a component of the suit, the chest piece this time. But Afton spotted a few other things that caught his interest.
Lining the back wall were mannequins wearing some sort of... Chinese Stealth Armour? They were partly disassembled, most likely due to the Think Tank scientists using stolen technology for their own stealth suit. Honestly, it made Afton smirk.
The Chinese had been on the losing side of the war due to America's invention of Power armour. The Chinese had tried to combat this with creations of their own, the Chinese Stealth Armour, and while yeah, sure they were incredibly good at infiltration, they simply couldn't match up to Power armour, forcing the war to go nuclear.
It was all logged in the Brotherhood. But Afton remembered thinking at the time whether or not China had managed to create Power armour in the end? He was interested to see what other technology may still be over there. Regardless, he checked the room over before taking the chest piece.
[X-13 Experimental Stealth Suit Complete]
[You have obtained the Aural Stealth Suit! Not only can it be upgraded through testing in X-13, it also has Med X and Stimpack reserves for all your pain-dampening needs! (Med X and Stimpacks not included)]
Afton raises a brow at this, having not thought he would've found all the pieces of this tech yet... But apparently, he had... He was somewhat expecting a helmet to be lying somewhere, but to each there own he supposes... He checks the completed Stealth suit via his Inventory to get its statistics.
[Stealth suit Mk II]
DT : 14
Weight : 25
Effect : +15 Sneak
Value : 30000
Hm, it wasn't all that much better when compared to his Recon armour.
[Recon Armour]
DT : 17
Weight : 20
Effect : +5 Sneak
Value : 7200
Recon armour had higher DT, but lacked the bonus sneak values... Afton was going to start using the Stealth suit only because it could apparently be upgraded via the X-13 facility tests. Though, he also wanted to see why it was so much more valuable as well.
He takes off his rather sweaty Recon Armour, leaving him in nothing but underwear and a t-shirt. But quickly starts putting on the Stealth suit. He wasn't willing to risk being 'naked' for too long, who knows what creatures were walking about this facility.
The armour itself was made of tough black fabric with white lines decorating it. It was also plated with white metal that protected his vitals. The gloves were very good, grippy, and allowed full dexterity of his fingers, while the boots supported his ankles in an extremely comfortable way.
Everything about it was designed with stealth and infiltration in mind, from the dexterity it allowed, to the sound suppression. The fabric seemed designed to create a little sound as possible, and even the boots seemed almost completely silent when he was purposely stomping around.
