CHAPTER 8: Recruiting Settlers -MC's POV-

James : by the way you need me for something dad? It seems that there's something you want to tell me.

Edmond : oh yes.... When i was scouting outside the settlement I notice a group of people around 60 are heading this way, must of them are carrying some guns there are also childrens among them... What do we do son?

James : hmm... While i was listening to the radio earlier i heard that a settlement not too far from was attacked by the Super Mutants and was destroyed. I think they're the one who was able to scape. But just in case we need to be ready if we want to meet them... Dad can you go call mom and aunt, we need to an emergency meeting.

~moment later~

-GENERAL POV -

Inside the the house 4 the people are having a meeting in the living room.

James : the reason for this meeting is to discuss about the approaching peoples as you know their settlement just got destroyed by the Super Mutants but we still don't know if they are hostile or just some people who want to join our settlement.

Christine : so what do we do? The adults that I've training already know how to shoot although not to the point of being a sharp shooter they can still hit the targets.

James :we need to be prepared, aunt Claire equip the adults with guns and armor while the childrens need to hide in the apartment. I will prepare the turrets and security androids...

Claire :and what if they just want to join our settlement.?

James : of course we accept them as we are still lacking manpower. When will they arrive dad?

Edmond : I estimated that they will arrive in two our.

James : let us go and start preparing .

~One hour later~

We are currently on top of the wall waiting for our guests. Besides me stands my dad and aunt they are wearing vibranium power armors, I've also upgraded it again, now both of the are powered by the arc reactor headen in the chest area, they have a laser blaster on it's shoulder area that can retract in and out it shoulder and can also fire missiles 20 from its back, I've also installed Basic AI in their helmets which can detect and auto-lock enemy targets, the AI can also prevent any unauthorized person from using it.. Pretty nice upgrades right...as for their weapon, dad is holding an automatic laser Riffle while aunt is holding a Laser Sniper Riffle.

Aside from dad and aunt there are also the 14 Settlers, security droids and turrets . The 14 settlers are wearing an armor made out of Titanium X, and armed with different kind of guns, some are holding an automatic laser rifle, some are holding an HK-21, while athoer choose the BARRETT SNIPER... We don't need to worry about ammo as we have have created tons of it.

As my people are getting ready to defend the settlement if ever things gets out of control.I saw our guests approaching from a far.

James : they're coming guys be ready, no one do any thing stupid unyil i say so.. Dad can i rely on you in meeting and talking to them as I'm afraid that they will not take me seriously if I'm the who talks to them.

~~POV BRUCE ~~

My Bruce Price i am the leader.. Well... was the leader of a medium size settlement with 500 people... Although its only a middle size settlement it was safe heaven for us a home where Settlers can feel safe, we have turrets that is always active, armed guards partrol the settlement... Some raiders would sometimes try to raid us but we would always repel them, we would even kill a bunch of them before they retreat... But calamity fall upon our settlement, hundred of well armored Super Mutants equip with heavy power guns attack us they were commanded by an intelligent Super Mutant wearing a power armor. They were able to breach our gate easily with the use of rocket launcher, we were outgunned and they easy destroyed our turrets,it was a complete massacre. I tried saving as much people I can but in the end only 65 of us manage to survive and escaped...

Now we are currently heading towards the settlement we heard a lot about from Johnson, Johnson is an uprising merchant who sells highend roducts so i see any reason for him to lie. We heard that they they have high wall mouted with strong turrets and Settlers can eat delicious foods every day. I won't lie to you I don't fully believe everything he told us, it's just too good to be true, but is our only choice now, we need to find a safe place to settle as we have children and womens with us and the Commonwealth is a very dangerous place.

Sam: Chief Bruce are you sure we're going the right way.

Bruce: yes i am, it won't be far now just little bet more and we will arrive.

Sam: are you even sure they will accept us?

Bruce : I'm sure they will accept us. Johnson said they lack Settlers and are currently recruiting, i also heard it in the radio.

After an hour of walking we arrive our destination. I front of us is a 10 meters tall wall and on top of it we saw buch of turrets, we cal also see heavily equipped people on top looking towards watching every move we take. We continue to approach their gate and in front of the gate stand a person wearing a unique power.

Edmond : Greetings good people of Commonwealth, my Name is Edmond Storm one of the leadder of this settlement. May i ask the purpose of your visit?

Bruce : really? As the leader of this group I want to thank you.

Edmond : no problem, now why dont we head inside dangerous outside and I know you people are exhausted from the travel.

After saying that we saw him wave his hand and the gate start openin, he start walking inside and told us to follow . And we proceed on following him, and when we entered we are surprised to see how clean this place is. We saw a humanoid robots guarding each side of the gate and in front of us are two buildings guarded by another two robots . We stop at the middle and Edmond faced us again.

Edmond : Good Day everyone I welcome you our settlement, this will be your new home frome now on and as long as your inside you will be safe,...Now before you can really enter and join the settlement you first need to get registered, the buildings behind me are the Registration office, one for the settlers and the other is for the merchants, here you will be screened, chech your medication and then you will be registered.....But before you proceed there I need to explain the rules fist.
