[AREA EXPLORED]
Summertime
With Jonah Murphy back from his efforts in the siege, the sale of goods was concluded and caps and items were changed hands until the vault found themselves with a lighter wallet but finally something they could grow in this wasteland. In addition, Jonah asked the vault dwellers what items they might need in the future and found himself overwhelmed by the responses that he got. He promised that he would do his best to provide them with their requests, though he was reluctant to tell anyone where they were located. The idea of using the Firehouse as a welcome center intrigued him and he finally agreed to point anyone he found who needed a home in their direction. When the trading was finally completed, Jonah tipped his hat and left, telling them that he would try to return in a year or so when he had collected what they had asked for.
With the battle for the firehouse finally finished, the Computer began to re-evaluate the chances of the dwellers to survive in this unforgiving wasteland. The three raiders that were knocked unconscious were somewhat treated by Jamie and her group, enough to keep them from bleeding to death, then tied and carried back to the vault. With the dwellers return to the vault, the Computer dolled out assignments as if this were any other season.
The aftermath of the battle saw the loss of life of one of the dwellers as well as multiple injuries from the battle that had commenced. Thus, the Computer assigned 11 dwellers to Health Services, it also sent the 3 raiders to Health Services for evaluation. In order to one day use the 4th level again, the Computer thought it best to send 3 dwellers to continue to clean it up. In addition, 4 dwellers were assigned on fixing up the firehouse, 4 dwellers were assigned to guard duty, 7 dwellers were assigned to planting crops, 3 dwellers were assigned to research first aid, 7 dwellers were assigned to research additional power sources, 4 dwellers were assigned to research teamwork and 4 dwellers were assigned to convert scrap material into building materials.
The awakened ones chose several assignments of their own to work on. Molly Harris persuaded 2 dwellers to help her build a cart, Jamie persuaded 4 dwellers to help her cut up the Raiders from the siege, Carlton persuaded 2 dwellers to help him research additional power options and Cecil persuaded 1 dweller to help him to build walls. Isaac's coma continued and Kis, after the up front personal experience of the battle, became withdrawn and lapsed into a state of silence.
A good amount of improvement was seen to the health of the 11 dwellers who were sent through the caring metal hands of Health Services. There were a handful though whose bodies had been so damaged during the fighting that it would take a much longer recovery than just 3 months to heal. There were also some dwellers which seemed more susceptible to radiation than others. It was possible that this was from years of hiding in a minimal radiation environment, but as there was no research or study done to prove this point, it was merely conjecture. The bandits were dumped unceremoniously onto the metal bed before closing the lid to the metal box that served as the "checkup" area of the autodocs. The original designers at Vault-Tech found that even including a small window in the box was overly frightening to the normal citizens who would watch as the metal hands poked and prodded at the person locked within. They also found that, for those who were not used to being fondled by cold metal hands, it was best for them to be sedated. Thus, as the metal box which housed the various needles and mechanical hands of the AutoDoc closed, those who had dumped the 3 bandits into the boxes walked away from the machines without worrying too much about those they had locked within. The process of "evaluation" was a quick one and within just a few hours after they were sent in, a small bell chimed to inform anyone who cared that what was within was now done being tested. The indicator lights on two of the three boxes held a steady green light, but the third was flashing red. Further inspection found that one of the Raiders hadn't made it through the check up process. The dead body was sent down to the crematory and burned. The other two Raiders, were firmly cuffed to the sides of the beds that they were transferred to, in an observation room separate from the dwellers. It wasn't entirely sound proof, and the dwellers could faintly hear them calling out.
"Hey! Anyone out there?"
"It was all a misunderstanding!"
"Yeah, a misunderstanding!"
"We wouldn't want to hurt you or the vault!"
"We can help!"
"We didn't know you were here, if we'd known, we wouldn't have fought for Brock!"
"He was a real asshole, I'm glad one of you shot him down."
"Let us out... please?"
"We can be valuable to you!"
"I... I'm Wilbert Marsh... pleased to... meet you?"
"Uh... same. I'm Edwin Griffith... please don't eat us..."
The continued work on cleaning up level 4 was slow to improve, this was possibly due to the extreme caution that was shown by the 3 dwellers who were assigned to the task as they moved about like lumbering dinosaurs in their large yellow Hazmat suits. Always on the lookout for something that might rip a hole in their suits, the three of them wandered around in the flickering red darkness equipped with brushes, mops and a few buckets that could be spared to the project. The main concern that they reported back to the Computer with was the openly irradiated water that was just sitting in the stairwell down to the 5th level gave them the uneasy sense of being watched from the murky water. Even so, the cleanup continued and the workers were able to get a nearly a third of the 4th level cleaned. Two of the dwellers took some Rads during their efforts.
The prospect of using the Firehouse as a forward base that was a few miles from the vault was exciting in the sense that it offered the possibility of both meeting the world and remaining hidden from the world. Plus, though Jonah had been reluctant about the possibility of leading or giving directions to refugees that he found on his journeys, the potential for new citizens to join their growing empire led their thinking in the direction of needing a location that was separate from the vault. When this solution to keeping themselves hidden was mentioned to Jonah, he seemed more willing to guide lost people groups back here as a sort of refuge from the otherwise hostile world. The 4 dwellers that the Computer sent to fix up the firehouse were a nightmare in the making. It all started when one of them happened upon a hidden cache of booze from pre-war days. Figuring they had stumbled upon a gold-mine they began to drink as if the world had ended (which it had). Try as they might to work on the firehouse, they destroyed the majority of the 11 building materials that were onsite creating 15 building scrap. Overall, little work was done, but thankfully the dwellers managed to clean up the vomit that they spewed all over the floors.
There was so many things that needed built that the 4 dwellers that were assigned to creating Building Materials hurried as much as they could to combine and recycle the building scrap into as many BM's as possible. Over the season, a total of 6 building materials were created and while this wasn't a lot, the dwellers were overjoyous at their success in creating something useful. Near the end of the season, with their work coming to a close, the dwellers were moving the finished materials to the "haphazard stack" of BM's and carelessly placing the finished pieces. As the last piece was victoriously set in place, the bottom piece in the stack slipped and the entire pile fell, demolishing 5 of the 6 building materials they had created. Worse yet, the stack fell on the two dwellers who had been doing the stacking. (Talk about irony) The dwellers were damaged for 6 HP each.
On the research front, a total of 14 dwellers were sent to the library along with Charton the now famed researcher. Charton and his two followers plus an additional 5 dwellers locked themselves in a small private study area in the library to pore over the research material about pre-war electricity. A great deal of process was made and the entire group found themselves with an increased understanding of electric producing machines. Additional information about "Wind Collected energy" was found which truly electrified the research team. The 3 dwellers who were assigned to research "First Aid" also made a good deal of progress, despite how few of them there were to do the actual researching. Multiple useful books were found on the subject of first aid including a handy one called "A Boy Scouts guide to Natural First Aid". The most intriguing part of this book was information about medicine that could be created from herbs and flowers found in the world. Sadly, these poultices would be difficult to create in a world in which these plants no longer exist in their original form. The 4 dwellers who were assigned to research Teamwork also made great strides in their work. They discovered something mysterious called "The Milk of Human Kindness". This so called Milk granted the power of compassion to those who drank it with its powers, Teamwork would finally be within the grasp of the vault dwellers. The only issue was that they had no idea where to find this Milk, nor what animal it could be acquired from.
The 4 dwellers who were placed on Guard Duty for the season quickly found that they needed to be in too many places at once. With only 4 of them and having no fast way to get from one location to another, nor any way in which to speak to one another over long distances, they made do with a semi-regular patrol between the Firehouse and Vault. This method had the most amount of success, but luckily for them, it was quiet this summer. A few mole rats and a few other woodland creatures were brought down (adding 4 units of food to the Vault stores) with the pop of a gun, but there were no major attacks nor surprising events.
When it came time to planting the seeds that they had purchased, the dweller known as Derek Goodman, though he was injured, was quick to giving advice and answering questions on how to properly plant the crops and use the gardening tools. The crops were planted along the north wall of the compound, with the hopes that should the wall ever get completed, their food source would be more secure against invaders and wild animals. The 7 dwellers, following the former slaves guidance, the 10 units of mutfruit were planted in a long row, with enough distance from the wall to be allowed to grow into the bush that he said it would become. He also mentioned that this bush wouldn't be ready for at least a year from now, but once it was mature it would produce a sizable amount of fruit every year. The 10 units of Melon seeds were then planted in a small cluster by themselves in the crook of the North and West wall. He explained that the melon plants would need the space to sprawl out and that the melons would mature by the fall season and be ready for harvesting. Furthermore, he explained that with care, additional seeds could be extracted from the melons for an even bigger harvest in the years to come. Sadly, the fresh food wouldn't last forever and would need to be eaten first, before the dwellers went back to eating from their canned supplies. Finally, they planted the 10 units of tato seeds in front of the MutFruit plants. Derek explained that these too would be ready by the fall season and would produce a good amount of food. He further explained that both the mutfruit, Tatos and melons had seeds within them that could be replanted and that care should be taken when eating them to save as many as possible.
Molly Harris and the two dwellers that she convinced to help her build the cart quickly got to work, using the blueprints that the research group had made. Wheels and axles were collected from a myriad of rusted out cars and finally some building materials were collected from the resource pile and slowly put together. The work was slow for Molly and the two Dwellers as they slowly and carefully lifted the heavy pieces and put them together. By the end of the season, they had constructed a simple cart that could be pulled either by the Brahmin or by some dwellers. The cart was usable as it was, but if more work were to be put into it, it would be able to carry more as well as hold up longer. In total 22 BS were used.
Cecil convinced a dweller to help him to continue building the wall, but the work was extremely slow, mostly because it was a strength taxing job, with only two dwellers. Throughout the entire season, the 2 of them were only able to raise 1 wall panel in total. In total 1 BM was used.
Jamie was able to persuade 4 dwellers to help her with the dissection of the bodies of the raiders. It was a bloody and gruesome job, especially with the damage that had been done to the bodies with clubs and guns, but nevertheless, the 5 dwellers dug into the bloody corpses until their hands and bodies were soaked in blood. Initially, the dissection was focused on just opening up the body cavity and examining the organs within. Eventually, focus was made on limiting how damaging their cuts were as well as trying to understand the organs and muscles within. The triumphant moment for the team was when Jamie successfully extracted a Kidney, still intact, from one of the raiders. This triumph, led the first aid team to realize that perhaps in the future they could save the lives of dwellers by harvesting organs from raiders. Once Jamie and her team had finished with their dissecting of corpses, they washed up, then trundled the corpses back to the vault and sent them down to the crematorium, where they were burned until not even bones remained.
At the end of Summer, the lights begin to flicker and dim in Health Services, and the dweller who had been assigned there for the season were glad to be able to resume other tasks in the vault, though grateful for the healing they received while there. Nicolas Goodman, the former slave they rescued is feeling much better and expresses his desire to help out around the vault. A bit worrisome were the two catatonic forms of Kis Carson and Isaac Hamilton, neither of whom had regained activity during the last three months. Power was diverted to the Research Labs in the library, the consoles of the research stations glowing to life.
