"Well, there must be a reason. I swear he's overprotective sometimes, I'll go and talk to him." Taylor told Jonathan as she went to the front-gate to speak to the mutant.
Fawkes seen Taylor and Jonathan heading his way, the mutant seemingly happy to see the two of them. Before he could speak however, he handed them both a letter containing the insignia of the Brotherhood. Opening it up, the message said. To Taylor and Jonathan While I wish to thank you of your actions in the wasteland, I must request your assistance once again. A couple of weeks ago, I was tasked by Elder Lyons to destroy or capture any Enclave personnel in the Capital Wasteland. All the forces under my command have discovered small camps here and there, nothing really serious. At approximately 2:37pm on Friday the 22nd November 2277, Me and a squadron discovered a main base of Operations located outside the Capitol Wasteland. It appears to be a satellite relay station that was used before the war, but we have no idea why they are using it as a fortification. I understand the conditions of your injuries and wish for the return of your wellbeing, but I've wish for your assistance in taking this location. Liberty Prime has been approved for this mission, alongside fifty power-armoured troops. Your Mutant Friend has also been requested to aid in the battle, he's been made an honorary Knight in the Brotherhood for his actions in the battle for the purifier and should prove to be a great ally. Me and my men are inside the Rockland car tunnel preparing for the attack. Whenever you are feeling up to it, meet us there. -Paladin Tristan (My parents are making me and my siblings last an entire day "without electronics", which means no posts from me tomorrow. I will be back by Monday. This came out of nowhere from them.
(Aww :c) Jonathan looked at the note, pursing his lips, "Damn...As much as I would love to spend more time alone with Taylor...we have to go, dont we?" He asked Taylor, feelig like he already knew the answer.
(I'm back!) "Yeah...I suppose." Taylor said, disappoint in her voice. "I'm afraid that this is what must happen." Fawkes told the two of them sadly. "As the message said, I've been made an honorary Knight. I shall use this position to the best of my ability to assist you in this mission." "Congratulations, Fawkes." Taylor told the mutant. "We're both proud of you, I'm surprised how quick the Brotherhood has gotten used to your presence. They seem to like you actually. They'd normally kill you and your kin on sight, and they still do. But your very special."
(Yay! ^^ Oh, you know Fawkes didn't actually mutate smart, he did however retain his curiosity and civility and by reading through the Vault archives, he regained human intelligence) Jonathan took a deep breathe before gently slipping his hand into Taylor's and giving her hand a gentle squeeze, "Well, I guess time's a wasting. Lets go get this over with."
Taylor felt her hand get tighter, and responded by squeezing Jonathan's hand slightly harder. Nowhere near enough force to cause pain, but enough to show her affections as her soft delicate hand warmly held the man next to hers. "Yeah, let's go." Taylor told the two of them.
(Yep) All three of them headed to the Tunnel on the other side of the wasteland, finding nothing but ruined cars at first until coming across a checkpoint. Once cleared however, they found that the entire centre of the tunnel had been transformed into a large camp. Knights and Paladins were either getting rest, training or just talking to one another. Paladin Tristan stood in the centre of the camp, talking to two senior Paladins.
Jonathan walked up to Tristan and saluted him, "Paladin, we're here to help, mind debreifing us on what we need to do?
"Ah, Glad to see you here" Tristan told the two of them. "We have the Enclave hiding inside the station and launching an assault is critical. Liberty Prime is assisting our ground forces. I need you two to help in capturing this place, we don't have..."specialists" like you two."
Jonathan nodded as he pulled out his laser lance, "Sounds like nothing we cant handle." He told him, "We're ready when you are."
"Glad to hear, Prime will arrive within ten minutes. We will have five minutes to prepare, get whatever you need and brace yourself. The Enclave are taking their defences seriously." Tristan told the two before yelling to the rest of the Brotherhood. "All personal, on me! It's time!"
Jonathan looked towards Taylor, "You ready?" He asked her (Oh, if ya wanna talk on Skype I'm free ^^')
c when are you going to going to be back?) Jonathan headed outside along side several Knights, looking to his right in a small valley was Liberty Prime firing up, ready to take on the Enclave - - Auto Merge - - c when are you going to going to be back?) Jonathan headed outside along side several Knights, looking to his right in a small valley was Liberty Prime firing up, ready to take on the Enclave
(Sorry, haven't had time to respond to this. I'll get right on it) Taylor went outside and was followed by several Knights, just while Liberty Prime sprung to life as the gigantic robot began to advance on the Enclave base. Taylor was to advance along the high-ground of the valley, sticking to the side to clear a path forwards for the Brotherhood. Things would get nasty considering the Enclave had all sorts of defences on the side, but breaking the line would almost be easy for her. Around fifty Brotherhood soldiers began their attack when Liberty Prime vaporised five Enclave soldiers that were positioned at a shield generator, causing the generator to explode violently and kill or injure anyone nearby. Once everything was underway, she kicked herself into high-gear and shot an Enclave solider who had let his guard-down for just a moment with a well placed laser to the throat. Two other soldiers turned around to see the damage caused, only to be struck down in half a second by laser fire. Taylor ran with her rifle, surprisingly fast as well, just as a sentry turret had turned around to engage her. The Lone Wanderer slid on her knees as the turret fired a straight blast of laser fire that hit the valley walls. Taylor then threw herself upwards as she placed another shot into the lens of the turret, causing it to explode. The woman, now back on two feet, threw herself over the first line of defence and a couple of dead bodies before advancing onwards like a whirlwind of death. She had singlehandedly broke the frontline.
Jonathan watched in awe as Taylor acted as a mini-Liberty Prime, stopping only for the real Liberty Prime to destroy the barrier fields. Before he knew they were at the building. Liberty Prime boomed "Scanning...Scrutural weakness detected! Exploiting.." the robot then threw a "mini" nuke at the building, which put a large dent in the concrete, but no hole. But no matter for Prime as he followed it up with a powerful punch, which then put a hole large enough for two people to walk through in the building. There was a small pause as they readied to go inside when Liberty Prime suddenly boomed, "Orbital missile lock detected. All personell are ordered to get to minimum safe distance."
Taylor slid to a stop as she looked to the heavens, noticing a ripple in the sky. Realising what was happening, she ran as fast as she could from Prime. The ripples in the sky began to appear more frequently until the sky above them suddenly went into a shockwave, followed by a powerful boom. Taylor was around two hundred meters away from Prime as the undeniable streaks of missiles came down from above and smashed into Liberty Prime. Prime tried to activate a shield around itself, but ran out of time. The explosion threw Taylor into the air, sending her flying before crashing into the ground below her. She seemed fine however, recovering from the fall.
(Oh, I posted the official stats of the nations of Terra on nationstates, if you're wondering where everyone lies) Jonathan yelled in surprise, quickly running over to Taylor when he saw her thrown into the air, "Taylor!" He called out as he ran over, helping her up onto her feet, "You okay??" He asked, his voice full of concern
