We had better end up with a set of power armor -even T-45 will work- and a plasma gun after this.
UM, NO. The only thing that makes Umbrella look better than those guys is that Umbrella had a reason for doing their crazy shit.
Also was that roll for all power armor or just one type?

By the way, @ninjafish, what Vaults are in our area?

Alright votes not locked yet.
that's tomorrow, but I figured that I would answer some questions.
Vault 43.
That's the only canon one.

Huh. Apparently that one got 20 men, 10 women, and a panther.
Any non-canon ones our character knows about? IIRC Vault-Tec wasn't exactly secretive with their vaults in general, so I'm hoping he or some of the other survivors know about them.

Go over these, it could give you a hint at what some of the various Workshops got up to, and what kind of loot might be in there.

Jacob Wither's message's May 2074
To: A3 Workshop Head, Gary Simmons.
From: AWDD Overseer, Jacob Withers.
Subject: T-45 Retrofit Project Approval.
Gary, I sent your little proposal up to project management, and they loved it! Trying to squeeze more profit out of old T45 suits? The big wigs were all over that.
It wasn't condition free though, while they've agreed to acquire some suits for the project, they want it to be known that failure to produce noticeable results within a year will result in project cancellation (and a significant reduction of your paycheck.) They also want to make it clear that both suits are still company property and can be commandeered at any time if the company deems it necessary.
So, you best move fast, get those results. I put quite a bit of effort into getting this approval for you, most facilities are moving to the T-60 prototyping process, so getting resources for modifications to a "relic" like the T-45 was a big undertaking.
Jacob.

Jacob, don't worry man, I've got results, the rest is in the report I'm gonna be sending to corporate. But just to assuage your fears hears a bit of what I've gotten done.
· Via modifications to the servo's I've managed to get a 22.731% increase in exertion capability with only a 6.224% increase in price per frame. In layman's terms we've increased the amount of weight this thing can carry by almost a fourth for a price increase of less than a tenth.
· I've managed to upgrade the helmet with a new sensor package, allowing for monitoring of living targets even through thin cover.
· Modifications to Leg servo's have resulted in superior bracing ability for better usage of high recoil weaponry.
And, I've got more than that, that I plan on working on, but with what I've got, I'm pretty sure that I've secured a project extension for me and the boys here in A3.

ok so, on the plus side we have a supped up suite of power armor on site, on the down side we have something that was able to rip an identical suite to pieces in a test trial, that was being contained by an energy barrier, so it's likely loose and possibly nesting in the same wing as those radiation resistant seeds. oh and the nonreactive crane implies that whatever it is it might be able to spit or excrete acid of some variety.
I would like to take this chance to lament the stupidity of building the horrific monster before building the control and failsafe systems.

Okay, so to start with, there's a suit of up-specced T-45 power armor in workshop A3, possibly two if they kept the damaged one around for some purposes. Though the damaged one might be in a different locale.
Given the mention of modifying the leg servos for high-recoil weaponry, chances are that some form of such weaponry might be found in the workshop as well, for testing and adjustment purposes. Which might be something like a minigun, heavy machinegun, autocannon, or whatever.
In A1 they were working on something akin to the Trauma Harness from Big MT. Given that they were working on that two in-game years ago already, this might mean some potential goodies to be found there as well. Though, hopefully without all the issues of the MT harness...
B1 is apparently a facility for laser or energy weapon development, given the mention of them producing a bunch of AER14 rifles. So, we might find some laser or plasma guns there. The same message also tells us that there's an army depot in Detroit, where a bunch of laser rifles can be found (amongst possibly tons of other stuff, depending on how badly the facility was hit).
A2 was apparently the workshop responsible for building the barriers meant to contain the creature that the Bioscience division was working on, so there might be similar equipment to be found there. Could be rather handy in various ways.
Our information on the creature is still limited, though. We know that it's strong, that it seems to have claws or the like, and it might have acidic spit or skin or the like.

Well in rl the nuke would have been dropped on top of the army depot. sooo in fallout land it probably went off over a preschool across the street to a nursing home and next to a nunery. so the depot should be in near perfect condition across town from the crater.
as for the creature i'm sure it's nothing more than an escaped lab bunny......... a irradiated mutated super lab bunny. but still cute and fluffy.

Alright I'm just gonna say something.
West-tek is not The Think tank after 200 years of Mentat abuse.
If they purposefully created a living weapon they would already have measure's to contain it.
The mutant chameleon incident mentioned by Morrison was the result of massively underestimating what would come out of the mutated egg.
(the corpse of said mutant chameleon was taken by the US government... anyone who knows about fallout could probably figure out what they did with it.)

oh I have no doubt they had adequate containment procedures, it's just it looks like the main one was an energy barrier, and I suspect their plans for what to do if that barrier went down relied on resources and response teams that are now atomic dust. I'd hold out hope that the containment system might have been fail-deadly to the specimen, but something killed that guard and didn't loot the weapon so it's probably loose.
besides, this is fallout. Even before the bombs fell there was plenty of mad science to go around.
besides, this is fallout. Even before the bombs fell there was plenty of mad science to go around.
So, two potential approaches that come to mind for me would be to start looking into A3 and grab the power armor and potential weaponry there, or go to A2 and see if they have more of that containment mechanism lying around, potentially allowing us to set a trap or something.
On the other hand, it's possible that the creature is currently running around in the Advanced Weapons section of the building, so it might be smarter to go to the Bio section first, in order to grab the seeds along with information on what we're dealing with.
Ideally, we'd locate some sort of security office where we can take a look on cameras or the like, and get a better idea of what's going on.

Photon resonance barrier's are typically used as quick fortifications or a means of barring access to somewhere important
they're great for keeping things out... or in this case keeping things in.
but only if you have power to spare.
what got this reaction out of you?
I'm curious.
I'm not sure where you're getting stealth boys from in this update.

We're in the terminals. this is a military research company. anyone that knows anything about fallout knows that these places always have automated defenses. the protectron is a case and point. see if we can activate a few of these systems and wait for the fire works. we're not likely to be able to haul home robots or turrents. lets use what we in theory have access to. we've only looked at a personel terminal so far. the security terminal has to be here somewhere cause the guard manning said terminal is here.

I'm thinking something like the geckos from New Vegas but bigger with razer sharp claws and can spit acid. I don't think it'll be as big as a death claw as that would have left very very obvious destruction around the area ( for us anyway).
Though it may be a still infantile death claw, it's fallout so assume the worst.
