Steel Waste Chapter 167
Advertisement
Once the Legion spies leave Boone gives Afton a scathing look, "Why did you let them leave alive?" he growls out, clearly displeased at the conversation.
Afton just shrugs, "Did you not listen? We now have an in to get into the Legion, if we play our cards right we may be able to get Karl's daughter out of the Legion's hands without having to fight against a literal army."
Karl nods, "I think it's worth trying, ain't like we can't just put a bullet in them later on if we feel like it."
Boone sighs with a look of apprehension, "I don't like this."
"You don't have to like it, currently it is the best way for us to achieve our goals without a huge potential of death." Afton states, causing Boone to reluctantly let the matter go for now.
"Alright, let's get moving, I wanna check out the New Vegas Medical Clinic before nightfall." Afton claps his hands and slides onto Dirt-Bird. The other's following and seating themselves.
It doesn't take long for the group to reach their destination, the clinic itself was on the outskirts of what one might consider civilization. Opposite it was just straight desert and wasteland fields, the only thing that seemed to contain life was a distant barn, but upon looking closer it was just filled to the brim with Molerats, pests that no one would willingly keep around.
"You two wanna wait out here while I get this done?" Afton asks, waiting in a hospital would always be one of the most monotonous things around...
Karl shrugs, "I kinda wanna see you cry like a baby while under the scalpal."
"I'll stay here and keep watch." Boone says as he kicks his legs up in a relaxed posture on Dirt-Bird.

"Alright." Afton states as he pushes inside the clinic, Karl following closely behind him.
Immediately after they enter they are greeted by someone, "Welcome to the New Vegas Medical Clinic, I am Doctor Usanagi, one of the only licensed medical practitioners around the Mojave. If you have any problems I'd be more than willing to assist you." A woman of what looks like Japanese descent says. She has black hair, tanned skin, and a relatively clean white doctors coat.
The few guards that're stationed within the clinic seem wary of the duo, probably because of the powerful armaments currently strapped to their persons...
"Good to meet you, I'm Afton Parker. I was told you also sell Implants here?"
Doctor Usanagi nods, "We do, from ones that'll increase your Strength or Luck, to other's that'll give you a limited healing factor. They are all quite costly I'll remind you." she explains.
"How much?"
"4000 Caps for the regular enhancements, Sub-Dermal Armor is 8000, and the PHOENIX Monocyte Breeder is 12000 caps."
Both Karl and Afton's expressions widen for a moment, 12000 caps for that? How did Ranger Morales afford that!?
Afton shakes his head and quickly composes himself, "I'd like to purchase the Agility Enhancement."
Doctor Usanagi nods, "Ok, I can do that for you, first I'll need to check if your body is suitable to take one. Please enter here and take your clothes off." she states.
...
Afton just does as he's told, handing Karl his weapons before entering the room with the doctor. He alleviates himself of all his clothing excepts his underwear... Fortunately the [Mechanicus] Perk had constantly been 'repairing' his clothing, causing most of it to be incredibly clean for the wasteland.
After removing everything he stood upright with his hands at his sides, his 8 Strength clearly had an effect as his body was ripped. His muscles were toned and their outline was clearly visible under his skin, due to the [Solar Powered] Perk his skin had almost no blemishes, even the few bullet wounds he'd acquired had almost entirely faded.

Doctor Usanagi seemed lost in thought as she looked him over, a faint blush coming to her face as she realised that she'd been staring. She quickly shifts her gaze and begins, "For this I'll need to physically examine your body... Let me know if I do anything uncomfortable."
She goes onto poke, prod, and massage different parts of Afton's body, writing notes in a clipboard for what she finds. By the end of it Afton was standing upright in the other sense of the word, though both tried to remain professional about it...
Afton didn't know if she really needed to prod so near to his 'mini-me', perhaps this'd end like one of those sexy doctor porno's?... Doubt it."
Eventually, she tells him to put his underwear back on, "Your body is in peak condition, more so than I'd originally considered possible, it's as if you've never been sick in your life... Not even a single skin condition to mention... You are very luck Mr Parker."
"Er, can we start on the Implant?" he asks, wanting to get the awkward situation over with.
She nods, "You have the caps?"
Afton hands it to her and she leaves to go deposit the large sack in a safe somewhere. Once she returns she asks him to lie on his back on the operating table. He was dressed only in his underwear... Though, for some reason she wasn't able to take notice of the large Pipboy still attached to his arm...
"I will put you to sleep while I operate on you... It'll save us both some trouble, unless you'd like to do this with just anaesthetic?"
Afton just shakes his head, "Nah, just inject me and get this over with."
"If you say so." she mutters as she injects the fluids that quickly knock him unconscious.
