Steel Waste Chapter 426

Afton slowly nods at Mobius, "Features... Alright, I can think of a few, just let me know if any are possible... Night vision."
"DOABLE."
"Inbuilt communication device, whether it be radio or something else doesn't matter."
"We might be able to do that, perhaps using those brainwave devices might do." Mobius queries.
Afton nods, "Alright, how about a Hud, or Heads up display... I'm thinking something holographic next to or near the eyes." he asks, wanting to know just how close he could get to Iron Man's armour before the universe implodes in on itself.
"That is basically just a more advanced version of our Aim assistance systems." Mobius states, causing Afton to frown at him.
"Then why haven't you created anything that uses it yet?" he asks the scientist.
"Because it was used when we created the Ultimo-Bot, we saw no need to add it on anything afterwards... But yes, this 'Heads up display' system you want is possible." Mobius explains.
Afton thinks for a moment before asking, "Would it be possible to allow Glados access to it's systems? She is already able to contact me via Brain waves, so I doubt it'd be that difficult... Also, would it be possible to have some way to integrate the Stealth Suit AI into it?" he asks, knowing that Nyx would throw a tantrum should she be stuck under the Power amour as he wore it.
"EASILY!" Klein confirms.
Afton nods but decides to confirm the basics before anything else, it wouldn't do if they forgot something. "Voice modulators? Lights, temperature monitor and controls? Manual overrides? Auto-inject medicine and chems?" he begins listing off everything that he could want, or might want for the helmet.
"Yes, yes, yes... Though, if we added all of that the helmet would be extraordinarily large and heavy... We'll design a couple and see what fits your preference." Mobius says.

Afton nods, "Is that all you had to show me?"
"Indeed. We will start discussing the rest of the armour when we come up with the correct mixture, thickness, and shape of the plating. I hadn't realised just how difficult it was to design armour..." Mobius explains.
"YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN DOCTOR O DESIGNING THE STEALTH SUIT! I WAS SURE HE WOULD DIE BEFORE IT WAS FINISHED! HE HADN'T EVEN BEEN THE MAIN PERSON DESIGNING IT! HAHA!" Klein chuckles, seeming to remember Zero's previous project.
With that, Afton leaves the two scientists to continue, hoping they wouldn't get caught up torturing their ghoul prisoner while they were at it...
Speaking of torturing ghoul prisoners, the Glowing One Project was coming along swimmingly. The only thing impeding it's progress at all was the lack of specially mutated ghouls around the wasteland.
They were horrifically rare, but were more numerous than one would expect... Perhaps this was due to their biological immortality? They were fairly strong and were even able to heal themselves via radiation, so perhaps that's the cause?
Regardless, the Robo-scorpions, Cyberdogs, and Protectrons had managed to capture around 20 Glowing Ones. It might not seem like much, but those 20 Ghouls were already powering half of Big Mt... When the number reaches around 100 they might be able to constantly use the teleportation tech for various projects...
Just imagine it... The Capital of New California, Shady Sands, a peaceful yet boring day when, *Zap!*, hundreds of bolts of lightning flash down from the sky, each bolt of lightning as it struck the ground leaving behind squads of heavily armoured warriors in power armour...
Afton wondered if he was becoming delusional, or whether or not what he was thinking is possible. He was sure it was, but even then, should he create an large army of power armour wearing teleporting bad asses?

Yes.
Yes.
And yes.
Besides, it would probably help with his goal of conquering the Mojave. Both sides fighting for the territory were doing so by throwing as many troops as each other as possible. Neither would be equipped to deal with that kind of attack.
Elsewhere :
Shani felt like she was in a nightmare... First she'd been captured by the Legion and abused, then she'd been 'saved' and whisked away to a strange place filled to the brim with monsters of the worst sort. The first thing they were asked when they arrived was whether or not they were test subjects...
Fortunately or not, they had been saved from that fate... Yet. Shani still felt like it was only a matter of time before something horrible happens to them. It wasn't like it was 'just' a gut feeling, no... Shani had a strange ability... One she had never told anyone about, even with the mounting evidence that it wasn't just a trick of her mind.
It started when she was a child... Her father had just left to go support the front lines against the Brotherhood of Steel when she had a strange feeling... Her eyes rolled to the back of her had and she had a vision of him walking on a mine and dying in a bloody explosion.
She ignored it though, thinking it was just her imagination... Months later she knew that not to be true when she heard of what'd killed him. They held a closed lid funeral due to the appalling state of his body
She'd felt the same sensation years later... Her boyfriend was at work at the office when she received another vision... This time she saw him, buried under rubble with a crushed skull. Immediately, remembering the fate of her father, she used an NCR radio to contact him, telling him of what she saw. He ignored her at first, but under her increasingly erratic pleading, he eventually listened... He was about to leave his office when the entrance collapsed, crushing him and proving her vision right yet again... Only... Her boyfriend was the only one killed as the entrance was the only thing that collapsed...
Distraught and feeling responsible, she left her home town, traveling from place to place until she ended up in the Mojave where she was captured, saved, and now here...
Unfortunately, she'd seen another vision... This time involving herself. She was strapped to a white table as strange robotic beings dissected her as she screamed in agony... That was the fate that awaited her.
Shani knew when she received that vision that she had to escape. There was no other option, her future was torture an death, so, she might as well do her best to avoid it...

Retiring as an Incompetent Queen
What happens when you transmigrate into a transmigration story? Another story unfolds. Once upon a time, there was a Queen. A Queen of a land that contained magic beneath the earth, a land where fantastical creatures used to live and roam. A Queen of a land established by four Heroes, may they rest in peace. A Queen who came from another world, far, far beyond the horizon. The Queen who was not Good, nor Evil, for she thought dwindling on the lines that separated them foolish. Good did not exist, nor did Evil. There were only lines for each individual person, lines that they would not cross. But the Queen did what she had to do, and she didn't look down on others who did the same. She hadn't wanted to become a Queen, at first. After being plunged into a world she knew nothing yet everything about, she ran away and tried to escape from her fate. Running, running. Always running, never stopping. Some like to think fate is inescapable, that it decides our life and the choices we make. They are half right. Fate you cannot run away from. But the path you take is up to you to forge. The Queen ran away from Fate's clutches, until she ran into two others of her world. A Hero who had stolen his Title, and a Creator who wielded his Brush like a sword. They laughed together, they cried together, and they conquered together. The Queen had never accepted her Fate, nor did she ever believed in it. In the end, she hadn't changed. But even in the end, after she returned home, she never forgot. What it had taken to be a Queen. This is the story of Novarra Kiye Ultra. ----
