Bringing Life To The Wasteland!

[A/N: Sort of a shorter chapter today, sorry]

Hours later the woman finally answered.

She accepted!

Once I let her out of the room I asked, "Do you need any help getting back to vegas? It's nearing the night and quite a few animals come out to hunt and I fear for your safety."

"Uh, S-sure," She agreed upon thinking about how long she has been here.

"Good, I hope we can move you in before sunrise," I told her with a mental smile that she could somehow perceive.

"I h-have to move into the vault?" She asked with worry.

"Either into the vault or the colony that I am still constructing at the top of the mountain within a large Pre-war Ski Resort," I told her without worry since even if she told others, I would know and I could find her due to the neural implant.

"I think...I would p-prefer to stay here at the vault," She stuttered upon remembering the stories of large groups of hunters being sighted upon and around the mountain during the night and would much rather stay here, where there was protection from the monsters in the night.

"Wonderful, once you get back you can choose a room of your own and then get some rest," I told her.

"Choose...a room?" She asked confused.

"That's right, you can choose a room within the vault to call your own," I told her.

With that said, two spore carriers escorted the woman to a small hotel during the night where the woman gathered her things and returned to the vault where she settled down in a room in the residential area of the vault where I left her to sleep and went about my nocturnal business as always, hunting down a few animals and turning them into energy.

Upon morning I gathered some fruit and meat and cooked a small meal for the woman who would soon awake.

And as I waited for her to wake up, I just rested and gazed off into the desert as my plants began to actively absorb energy from the sun rising from the east.

Although I don't really feel anything, the one thing I do feel besides emotions is the warmth of absorbing energy...

Feeling the warmth of the sun was blissful seeing as I couldn't feel anything else.

Soon the woman awoke and traveled to the vault's canteen, where she ate the meal I prepared for her just an hour before.

Once she finished eating I asked, "Good Morning, if you do not mind, can you tell me your name?"

"U-Uh...my name is Claire...I have no last name..." She told me.

"It's nice to meet you claire, as I have told you, my name is Yggdrasil, or for short, Ygg(Yigg, like the beginning of Yggdrasil)," I reintroduced myself.

"Now Claire, do you have any family or friends in Vegas?" I asked seriously.

I wanted to know if she had anyone that cared or noticed her disappearance and if those people would go looking for her, plus what I really wanted to know, as if she told anyone about where she was going or about what she saw.

But what she told me next was kind of depressing...

She told me that she hasn't had any family or friends in a long time, years in fact...

And asking me why, she told me that Vegas is filled with Thugs, Murderers, Rapists, and even cannibals.

Upon hearing the cannibal part, I instantly thought of one of the stupidest 'factions' of Fallout New Vegas, the white glove society.

Who, are by far, the worst liars in the wasteland...

Well enough about those bastards, I then asked about Mr. House and learned that nobody has been able to get into the Lucky 38 since the bombs dropped, and all those that have attempted to, have ended in failure since they couldn't even get past the front doors.

So, House is inactive for some reason, which lifted a lot of weight off my shoulders.

Although I doubt a man as arrogant as he is not always watching over vegas and its surroundings as he awaited the opportunity to rise into power.

Luckily for me, his power was quite limited with his Securitrons running the Mark 1 program, making them quite limited in their combat power.

Either way, enough about House and his annoying ego, it's time to get to business.
