Norma's water broke and she felt a series of contractions...
"Time to find that doctor..."
"Don't move synth! What have you done with the real Riley? Where's my brother?" "I swear. I'm not a Synth! Do't shoot! For God sakes, we're family!" "Put the gun down! Now!" Diamond City Security bellowed. "He's a synth! He'll kill us all!" The security officer discharged his weapon. "Kyle! No!" Riley cried. "Okay, show's over! There are no Synths in Diamond city, hear me? Just you folks and your damn paranoia!" the security officer said.
"You're going into labour... Quick, come here. We need to do this now," Doctor Sun said.
Norma returned to Piper's office...
"Let me know if there's anything I can do to lighten the load... or, you know, if you need anything proofread," Piper said. "You sure you want to travel with me?" Norma said. "Well, it's that or get back to Writing the paper. I guess the paper can wait." "Sure, let's go." "Will do," Piper said. "Miss Wright. I trust you'll do your best to put the safety of my mistress Before your own personal gain?" the robot said. "Of course, Codsworth... Jesus. Lucky for me, those two thing go hand in hand," Piper said.
They left the Publick Occurrences.
"It's big, loud, full of corrupt officials and Brown-nosing Citizens. But it's home," Piper said.
Norma returned home and put her newborn in Shaun's old crib...

"Doing the right thing rarely makes you popular. But I don't Think I could live with myself otherwise," Piper said.
Their destination was a new settlement in need of aid. It started to rain...
They sought shelter in an old abandoned diner...
Once the weather cleared they were on the road again. They made their way to Nordhagen Beach...
"Did the Minutemen send you?" a settler asked. "Of course. Just tell me what you need help with," Norma said. "There's a group of raiders that won't leave us alone. stealing our food and supplies. Threatening us if we can't give them what they want. We know where they're coming from, but we can't stand up to them ourselves." "Don't worry. We'll take care of those raiders for you." "I hope so. We didn't know what to do," he said.
The raiders had made their base at nearby East City Downs, an old pre-war horse racing track...

East City Downs was owned by Eager Ernie, a Triggermen mob boss. He had allied with the local raiders and provided them Entertainment by holding robot races. Anyone approaching, who wasn't a raider, would be shot on sight...
The race was in motion when Norma's team arrived.
The robots were first to be taken out in the assualt. Wastelander Barb was hit trying to cross the track. Fortunately, she had a supply of Stimpaks.
Norma was hit when sneaking into one of the shacks. But Piper got the drop on the raider who hit her.
Eager Ernie was the last enemy standing. Norma hit him in the head with her assualt rifle from her hiding place opposite the raider boss.
There were quite a number of salvage in the area.
Look boss, I've done all I can do. That old tin can - can't - run. Hell, with the shape it was in, we're lucky it even walks. You need another racer, find me another bot.

Under an overpass they met a pair of Minutemen...
They continued their journey and cames across a raider engaged by a giant radscorpion...
"Someone's trying to be funny," Norma said, seeing the arrangement in the driver's eat...
Then, suddenly, a group of feral ghouls appeared out of seemimgly nowhere...
They crossed the river and made a berth of the Super Mutant camp...
And they ran into a lonely settler...
"Please... I'm so thirsty. Could you spare any water?" the ghoul said. "Of course. Here you go," Norma said, giving her a bottle of purified water. "Oh! Thank you... thank you!"

They arrived at Somerville Place...
"We could really use your help," the settler said. "I'm with the Minutemen. How can we help?" Norma said. "Something nasty's living just around the corner from here. It's only a matter of time Before there's some real trouble. What's really too bad is it'd be a nice spot for a new settlement. In fact, I know some folks that'd love set up there if it was safe. If you can make sure the old workshop there is still in one piece, anyone who decides to move in later will be able to rebuild." "Where is this place?" "We have a pretty good idea. I hope you can find them and wipe them out," he said.
Their new destination was now Sunshine Tidings Co-op...
"You're very helpful to people," Piper said. "You always pry this much into the motives of your traveling partners?" Norma said. "Just the ones I find particularly interesting. I appreciate it. Too few folks can be bothered. Course, in my experience, if you want to do real good, playing nice only gets ya so far. I mean, look at Diamond City, a place I've been trying to warn of real danger. Byt every issue I publish, all I hear is: Oh, Piper, why don't you ever publish anything happy? Piper, why can't you write something nice for a change? It's enough to make me wanna hang up my hat some days." "Sounds like it must be exhausting." "Heh, no kidding. But people, they deserve to know the truth. Sure, it can be scary, knowing what's really out there. A night doesn't go by I'm not afraid some Institure drone'll decide today's the day to pay ol' Piper and family a visit. But it's worth it. Because I know the truth, that's what protects us," she said. "Scared, huh? Could've fooled me." "I'm pushy, not crazy. Honestly, these days, I'm mpre scared for my sister. I don't know what' I'd do if something happened to her. But I'm not the only one with something to lose. That's why people deserve to know what's out there, good or bad." "Couldn't agree more. How can you protect you and yours if you don't know what you're facing," Norma said. "Exactly. Most folks, though, they prefer a comforting lie. Not me. I've seen firsthand what the tuth can do. My sister and I, we grew up way out in the Commonwealth. Tiny little settlement. Our Dad, he was part of the local militia. Keeping the Raiders off our backs and the Mirelurks out of our latrines, as he'd describe it. Well one day, our Dad turns up dead. His captain, asshole named Mayburn, claims Raiders must've gotten him on watch. Well, I didn't buy it. I start making inquiries. Turns out, the captain, he'd sold out. Thought he wasn't getting paid enough to babysit the town. He was going to leave the gates open one night, let a group of Raiders sack the place, and take a cut of the profits. My dad found out and was going to turn Mayburn in, but Mayburn got to him first. And I wasn't about to let the bastard get away with murder. I tried talking to the Mayor but he wouldn't listen. So I papered the entire town in posters, Wanted for Gross Dereliction of Duty. Captain Mayburn. The Mayor sure wanted to talk after that. The town threw Mayburn our on his ass and were dug-in when a very surprised group of Raiders finally showed up." "What happened after that?" "We made due. Sis was still pretty young at the time and Mom was... out of the picture, so we got by on the kindness of others for a while. Eventually I saved up enough to book us both passage with a caravan and then we moved on up to the big city. Called it home ever since," Piper said. "I'm sorry about your dad," Norma said. "Thanks. It was hard after he was gone, but knowing he died doing right, that's always made it easier. But, hey, I-I'm sorry if I've been rambling. I just get fired up sometimes. It's just nice to talk to someone, who actually seems to get it, you know. So, should we head out?"
It was a long journey. They ran into a Yao Guai and saw a small herd of Radstags...
... Ran into another of those mutant, irradiated bears. And encountered a camp of Raiders who were being attacked by viscious feral dogs. Norma and her team mopped up the suvivors and looted everything valuable before heading on their way..
"Blue. Would you look at this place?" Piper said.
Sunshine Tdings Co-op was infested with feral ghouls. Norma decided to deactivate the old robot that was roaming the place - it could easily be reactivated if someone wanted to use it for patrolling the area later. You'd need a bit of robotics knowledge, though.

A sentry bot had strayed from the nearby military checkpoint and threatened Somerville Place...
They returned to Sanctuary...
"Apparently the Castle has been trying to get you on the radio. Some kind of situation over there. Better go see what's going on," Preston said. "I took care of the raiders that were harassing that settlement you sent me to. The people there have decided to join our cause," Norma said. "That's great news. One day we'll be strong enough to drive that scum out of the Commonwealth for good. As usual, I've got something else for you to look into. Maybe you can find out where these bastards are coming from and put a stop to it," he said.
When Norma saw him in the weapons shop he'd set up, an irresistable feeling overcame her - she had to have him. Sturges willfully let himself be seduced...

Norma, Barb and Piper Went to the Castle...
"Never thought a reporter could consider themselves a success until someone's threatened their Life. Me? I'm very successful," Piper said.

I wonder what this is all about. Hmm. I guell we're about to find out..." Norma said.
"There you are. Finally. I've been wanting to talk to you," Ronnie said. "Here I am. What did you need?" Norma said. "I'm Ronnie Shaw. Commonwealth Minutemen. As least I was. Back Before Joe Becker got himself killed and the idiots took over." "Joe Becker? Who's that?" "That's just sad. General Becker used to run the Minutemen. The last real leader we ever had. After he died, there wasn't anybody left with the guts and Brains to pull things together," Ronnie said. "I'd still like to hear what you came to talk to me about." "Heard you were trying to get the Minutemen back on their feet. Thought I'd come see the new General for myself. So what's your story? What makes you Think anybody even wants the Minutemen back?" "At least we're trying to help people. Can you say the same?" Norma said. "Don't give me any attitude, missy. I've been a Minuteman longer than you've been alive. But, I've Heard some good things about what you've been doing. Wouldn't be here otherwise. Now that I'm here, I can see that you really need my help." "Are you offering to rejoin?" "I guess I am. But firsy things first. I'm probably the only one who still remembers this, but the Castle's armoury was located in the west bastion. All of our best Equipment was stored in there. Weapons, ammo, schematics, you name it. Come on, I'll show you," Ronnie said.
"Hmm. Good. Looks like it might still be intact. Door's still sealed... bastion hasn't collapsed. Trick now is finding a way in," Ronnie said. "I hope you have an idea," Norma said. "Of course I do. If you can't go through, go around. Let's have a look at the northeast bastion."
"This was the General's quarters. Used to be a tunnel leading from here to the armoury. Well lookie here. You've already cleared it. Good job. Let's get down there and se if there's still a way through," Ronnie said.

"Pretty dark down here. We'd better Watch our step," Ronnie said.
"You ever wonder... Oh, jeez. Sorry. Quiet in here..." Piper said.
"Sentrybot designation SARGE powering up. Comparing intruders to known Minutemen roster..."
Norma was quick to use her expertise in robotics to activate the robot's self-destruct mechanism.
"Too bad Sarge went haywire. He's been guarding the Castle since... forever, far as I know," Ronnie said.
"Let's see, I used to know this password... One if by land... no, that's not it. For the Commonwealth... goldurnit. It's been a long time... United we stand..."
Ronnie's last entry was the correct one and the security gate opened...

"That explains all the landmines. This is, well... was, General McGann. He had your job back when I first joined up. Must have gotten trapped down here when that sea beast attacked the Castle. He did manage to keep the armoury secure. I'll give him that much. I guess the uniform is yours now, if you want it. This old geezer doesn't need it any more. Rest in Peace, general. Your fight is done and the Minutemen live on," Ronnie said.
Norma pushed the big button, opening the Heavy security door...
"Okay. Here we are. Told you I'd get us in here. Now let's see what kind of goodies are left. Everything we need, just waitig for us. And the Cream of the crop. Schematics for building artillery," Ronnie said. "I have to admit, Ronnie, having artillery would help out quite a bit," Norma said. "We used to rain down fire on deathclaws and super mutants alike. It was a glorious thing. Alright, grab that schematic and let's get going. Don't forget to grab some smoke grenades, too."
"Looks like you've got Everything we need. As soon as you get some artillery builts, we'll do a test fire to calibrate it," Ronnie said.

"Gosh darn, it's good to see artillery here again. So here's the thing about the big guns. They can't fire at anything too Close, but their range is impressive. That's what the smoke grenades are for. Toss one of those at the bad guys. If we have artillery in range, we'll confirm over the radio and target our fire on your smoke. But first, we better do a test fire. Make sure we're hitting what we're aiming at," Ronnie said. "Did you have anything you wanted me to do?" Barb wondered. "See that Little building over there? We'll use that for our aiming Point. Keep your radio on and tiúned to Radio Freedom so we can confirm we're ready," Ronnie said.
With the successful test fire completed, Norma led her group to the next farm in need of help...
"I suppose I can't help it. It hasn't been that long since... since she..." Blake said. "Stop that. Just put it out of your mind," Lucy said. "You're right, sweetheart. You're right," he said.
"Here for work? We could use some help picking melons if you've got some spare time. I'll give you caps for any you can bring me," Lucy said. "You look like you have a pretty successful farm here," Norma said. "We'd like to think so. Having Clarabell helps. Free fertilizer as daddy would say. Whatever saves caps." "No time right now... for picking melons, I mean." "That's all right. If you ever feel like earning some extra caps, the offer's always there," Lucy said.
"That's close enough, stranger. We're a peaceful farm. We don't want any trouble," Blake said. "It's ok. I'm friendly. Not looking to cause any trouble," Norma said. "If you say so. But be warned, we're armed here. So don't try anything. Let me tell ya, farming ain't easy. Out in the field, all day, everyday? And every minute of it spent watching your back," he said. "You said it. Farming's hard work," Barb said. "Won't argue with that. Blake Abernathy. You new to the Commonwealth?" "Yes and no. It's a long story," Norma said. "Either way, good to see a new face. How about you? Ever thing about workin' the land?" he said. "I'm sure I'll give it a try someday." "Well, good luck to you then. Maybe I'll see you at the Diamond City market an' we'll do a swap. Word of advice, though. If you start up a farm, be ready to deal with the raiders. Why do all the hard work when you can just take what you want at gunpoint?" "What about the Minutemen? If you join up, we can all help each other out against the raiders," Norma said. "You don't say? I thought the Minutemen were all gone. Last time those raiders hit us, my daughter Mary tried to stand up to 'rm. Now she's buried out back of the house. Only twenty one years old, and they shot her down without a thought. So you can understand why I'm glad to hear the Minutemen are back. Although a bit too late for my Mary." "We're here now. Anything we can do?" "I don't have much to offer, but... Those raiders that killed Mary, they took her locket, too. It's been in Connie's family for generations. If you could get it back, it'd mean a lot to us," Blake said. "Do you know where they're coming from?" Norma wondered. "Yeah, pretty sure I do. One of them mentioned Olivia while they were here. My guess is they're holed up in the old USAF station," he said.
"New here? If you've got anything worth trading, you can talk to me," Connie said.

The team makes it into the old USAF Station Olivia...
It was still dark when they returned to Abernathy farm...
They waited until morning...
"I've got that locket back for you," Norma said. "You serious? That's great news! Connie's going to be speechless. Whatever the Minutemen need, you can count on us. We got a decent workshop here, and Connie's sure to go leaner on her prices after what you've done," Blake said.

"You sure manage to find your fair share of trouble, don't you?" Piper said. "Is that a problem?" Norma said. "Not at all. Honestly, it's just nice to not be doing it alone for a change. In my line of work, things tend to get pretty hairy. I've been shot at, poisoned, nearly executed. Heck, until recently, they called the lock-up in Diamond city the Piper Suite. Anything for a story, I suppose." "Someone poisoned you?" "You kidding me? I barely had the paper going Before I got poisoned. First time, I'd just published an article about this cartel of Caravans that had been driving up food prices in the city. Article Went over well, even got a boycott of their goods started in Town, so I figured I'd pop over to the Dugout Inn for a victory drink. I'd already taken a swig by the time I realized something was... wrong. Vadim, he wasn't at the bar. The beer tasted off... even so more than usual. And I start feeling real woozy. I don't know what he slipped me, but I knew I had to get it out. I'm looking around for something... And there it is. The still. And I just start chugging moonshine. Honestly, I'm still not totally convinced it was better than just dying from the poison. But it worked. And while I was passed out on the floor, security managed to grab the batender. He eventually ratted on his bosses and they all got to share some time in the pen," Piper said. "Seems that execution didn't quite take, huh?" "Thank god. I'd been working on a story about irradiated drinking water in Bunker Hill. I traced the water yo its source, through these old sewer tunnels, and what do I find? The Children of Atom, setting up like they own the Place. Unfortunately, they found me just as Quick. Turns out they were not fond of reporters. So to atone for my trespassing, they decided to make a sacrifice to Atom - me. I'm kneeling there, about to get the boot into this huge sewer pipe... when I suddenly blurt out: Atom! e reveals himself! And they buy it. They puled me back from the ledge... and then gave me their induction ceremony. You are looking at an official acolyte of Atom. Took me a couple more Days Before I managed to sneak away, get Bunker Hill security to finally Clean the Place up." "You've led an exiting Life," Norma said. "Sure have. But honestly, now that I'm out here with you, I feel like I'm just getting started. Getting in trouble... it's what folks like us do. I mean, you and I are out here, putting ourselves at risk so people in the Commonwealth can have a chance at a better Life. Not for praise, or reward, or glory. But because it's right. I just wanted to let you know, I'm real happy to be along for the ride." "Hey, I'm just here for the rewards and glory." "Yeah, me too, But they all don't have to know that. So, you wanna get out of here?" Piper said.

"This isn't the sort of thing I'd normally bother anyone else with, but you seem really good with people and I've got this issue. With my sister. Nat. Becoming me," Piper said. "Becoming you? What do you mean?" Norma wondered. "I'm just terrified she's going to start taking up like her big sis. I mean, Think about the Life we lead. No offense intended, Blue, but personal safety doesn't exactly seem like either of our strong suits. I can't have her ending up like her big sister, dodging bullets and running from all the people she pisses off. It's part of the reason I'm on the road so much. Part of the reason I'm here with you. I keep thinking maybe, if I make myself scarce, if I'm not around enough, she'll cool off. She'll just go back to being sweet, innocent Nat, papergirl, and all-aroung upstanding Citizen. What do I do, Blue?" "So, you're here to get away from Nat?" "Well, I mean, there are other reasons... but right now the only thing I can Think about is Nat. What do you think I should do?" Piper said. "You don't get to decide who Nat's going to be, Piper. She does. All you decide is wether you want to be a part of her Life or not." "You're right. She's her own person and Always will be. Thanks, Blue. Who'd expect wandering off with a stranger to turn out this well? They really don't make them like you anymore. You're a hell of a friend, you know that?" "The feeling is Mutual, Piper," Norma said. "Ain't that the truth. But hey, thanks again for listening. It's a real weight off my chest to be able to talk it out with someone. So, you wanna hit the road."
https://ibb.co/hXkY0RY
It's a wonderful thing to have clean running water...
A warm and fuzzy felling overcomes her when Norma visits the latest addition to the population of Sanctuary. She is pregnant with her third child - not counting her first miscarried pregnancy - and she can swear she's seen her best friend's belly pouting out beneath that red coat of hers as well. Under the citcumstances, times are well...
"I've got to hand it to you, General. You've really turned things around for the Minutemen. I never thought I'd see the day the Minutemen had artillery support again. We should see about building them at all our settlements to expand our coverage. And Ronnie Shaw returns... she's something else, isn't she?" Preston said. "She's the only one left who remembers when the Castle was Minutemen HQ. She knew about the old armoury," Norma said. "I'd heard stories about her from the old-timers, but I didn't know she was still around. The fact that she's come back to the Minutemen means we must be doing something right. Now, before I forget, I've got something else for you to look into," he said.

The Days pass as time goes by. Norma spends some of it working on her Power armour...
"I'm afraid I'm not much use in a fight anymore, but back in the day, folks used to call me Murphy the Madwoman. You need the Sight? It's telling me Mentats will give us the right high for Another insight into your Destiny," Mama Murphy said. "Here you go," Norma said. "Ah, that's it. I can feel the Sight opening up... You're looking for a man. He can help you, but he ain't gonna be the man you expect. He's somewhere... Deep... and dark. Surrounded by folks with nothin' but cruel intentions. But there's... an echo... Something in the past that can help you. When you meet the fat man, and the angry woman, tell them to remember the Quarry and Lilly June on the rocks, and they'll let you and your friend pass." Mama Murphy coughed. "Don't mind me, kid," she said and coughed again. "The chems are just... acting up a bit. I'll be fine... eventually..." the old woman said.
"Is something up?" Norma wondered. "Well, yeah. But it's nothing bad. Just, what you said about Nat. I'd been going over it again and again in my head, and what you said was right. I'm not going to be the deciding factor in what becomes of Nat. She's going to figure that out for herself. It's just, sometimes, it feels like the only things I've got in Life are Nat and the paper. Having someone I can Count on, someone like you, it's meant a lot to me. Not a lot of people want to hang around with the nosy reporter," Piper said. "Yeah, but you're my kinda nosy." "Heh. You're the exception. I haven't exactly made a lot of friends in this career. I just wanted to right the things I thought were wrong. And when Nat and I first got to Diamond city, there was a lot of wrong. Crooked guards, lousy infrastructure. Heh. There was a hole in the exterior wall that was patched over with a bookcase. One bookcase. That's it. I started the paper more as an act of desperation than anything else. It turned out, I wasn't the only one who wanted things to change. After the first couple of editions, people may not have agreed with what I said, but everyone was listening." "Seriously? One bookcase? Not even some tape?" "No! But now, now you can't even tell where the hole was. Brick, real mortar, the works. All because of the paper. When that first edition hit the stands, I felt like I'd finally done something Worth doing, but afterwards, things, things changed. People didn't want to talk the way they used to. Seemed that overnight, I'd gone from being Piper, friend and confidant, to Piper, the nosy snoop. A lot of folks, they haven't treated me the same since. It started to feel like the only person I could Count on was my Little sis," Piper said. "You can Count on me, Piper." "I know I can. You're not afraid of me like everyone else. I was sure the paper would be the best thing I ever did in my Life. But being here with you, now I don't know. I've needed someone like you in my Life for a long time, Blue. I just never expected I'd actually get them. So thank you. For being a friend I can Count on." "Thanks Piper. That means a lot to me," Norma said. "You're welcome. I just wish there ws more I could do to show it other than watching your back. Now come on. Let's hit the road."
Both women are Close to full term. They make their way to Diamond City...

It was time to set out on a new adventure...
As the team traveled towards their destination, they heard a fire fight neaby...
Taking a spectators' stand, the team continued on their way once the fighting had stopped.
They arrived at the settlement...
"We're in some real trouble. I hope you can help," Holly said.
"Welcome to the Slog! We're the only tarberry bog in the Commonwealth. So what do you Think of the Place?" Wiseman said. "The Slog? How'd you come up with that name?" Norma wondered. "We didn't. It was the Caravan traders who started that. I started this Place a few years back but couldn't Think of a name for it. Then, one day, one of the traders pulls up after it's been raining for hours, and says he's never had to slog through so much mud in his Life. I asked him if it was Worth it, and he said for the best tarberries in the Commonwealth, it was definitely worth it. Working here's like a slog through the mud. It's tough going and you'll get Dirty doing it, but at the end of the day, it's Worth it. The name kinda stuck. You've probably noticed it's only ghouls around here. I used to live in Diamond City, until that rat bastard Mayor threw me and all the other ghouls out. I decided that we ghouls should have a Place where we could feel welcome, and that's mainly why I started up this farm." "Why did the Mayor throw you out?" "We're ugly, we turn feral and kill people, we give the kids nightmares, all the usual stuff we get from you smoothskins. Now it's true that there was one incident in Diamond City where a ghoul turned feral and someone got hurt. But I ask you this - how many humans have suddenly turned violent and killed someone? I've seen it more times than I care to admit. What if this Place could be more than just a refuge for ghouls who aren't welcome elsewhere? What if it could also be an example of what we can do when we put our minds to something and work together? We want this to be a Place that everyone looks forward to visiting, with smiling faces, good bargains and great produce. Maybe we can make people take a second look, you know? Maybe then they'd see that we're not monsters," he said. "I Think it's a great idea." "Do you really Think so? Because if you do, we could definitely use some help. We can't sell tarberries without traders, and trade Caravans need safe roads. There's a gang of Super Mutants that's been preying on anyone who comes near their turf, including traders. It'd be a great help if you could take care of those brutes once and for all." "Do you know where they are coming from?" Norma asked. "We have a pretty good idea. I hope you can find them and wipe them out," Wiseman said.

Bloat Flies, pesky giant flies that make your day turn sour. And old robots, remnants of the Us military before the bombs fell. All in a day's work, and the party hasn't even reached the main objective yet...
Those Super Mutants had set up a big encampment on an old farm...
When Barb tossed a Molotov cocktail, Norma's party certainly got the enemy's attention...
With the place cleared, they could return to the Slog...
"Those Super Mutants won't be bothering you again," Norma said. "I guess you were the right person for the job, huh? Thanks, friend! By the way, we've decided to support the Minutemen. We've got to help each other if we want things to get better," Wiseman said. "We need more water. Even another water pump would help," Holly said.

Traveling through the Commonwealth, Norma's Pip-Boy picked up a distress call from a caravan...
Unfortunately, they arrived too late...
"My friends... did not survive the attack. Thank you for assisting. I was certain to meet my end here as well." "Are you ok?" Norma said. "Phusically, the damage is minor, but I am registering sadness and anger at the loss of my friends. It may sound strange coming from a robot, but they were my... family. Again, I thank you for your efforts. I know they would have thanked you as well." "I'm sorry for your loss." "My name is Ada. This was the third time we'd been atacked by robots like these. Even with the weapon and detection upgrades Jackson gave me, I was unable to defend them," the robot said. "Who's Jackson?" "Jackson was the leader of this Caravan. He had a great mind for technology. In many ways, he is my creator. He installed all my current upgrades. Unfortunately, they were not enough to protect them from the robots." "They must be targeting you for some reason," Norma deducted. "Probability is high that I am part of that reason. Besides myself, Jackson also created Turing, Hurtz, and Porter. Our built in modifications would be desired pieces of salvage. We knew we ran the risk of encountering more of these hostile robots if we stayed in the Commonwealth. If we only had made the decision to leave." "So why did you end up staying?" "Our Caravan specialized in mechanical repairs and trade. The Commonwealth has an abundance of salvage that would benefit our business. It was a calculated risk," Ada said. "Well, what's done is done. You can't change the past." "You're right. I must look to the future. In recompense, I will seek justice for my frinds and stop these robots from causing further harm. It's time to uncover the source and confront their leader: the Mechanist." "Who's the Mechanist?" Norma wondered. "The only information I have comes from eyebot broadcasts. The false claims of Peace and justice... The only thing certain is that these robots bring only death. You have shown wilingnes to aid others. I ask that you please assist me in stopping this Mechanist. In return, I can give you the schematics to build your own robot Workbench, so you have additional Resources in this undertaking. The robot Workbench will allow you to create and modify your own robots, given enough Resources." "I'll do it." "I wish I had the proper vocal registry to express my Gratitude. Now, we last saw a Group of the Mechanist robots at the General Atomics Factory. You may find information there that will lead us to the Mechanist. I will follow and assist with your permission," the robot said. "Yeah, let's go, Ada," Norma said. "General Atomics has valuable salvage. Chances are hight the robots are still there."

With Ada and Dogmeat in tow, Norma and Barb made for their destination
It wouldn't have been any hassle if not for the Super Mutants...
They finally made it...

"Such a senseless waste of perfectly good technology," Ada said.
"We'd never been to this particular factory Before, but once Jackso spotted the Mechaist robots, he turned us around immediately," Ada said

One of the robots isn't like anything Norma has seen...
"Did you retrieve something from that robot?" Ada asked. "Have you seen a robot with a brain like that Before?" Norma wondered. "No, but my old Caravan discovered records about them while we were searching military facilities. According to my data banks, it's called the Robobrain. It was considered one of the most technologically superior robots ever constructed, but the model never reached full production status." "It had this strange device on it." "Let's have a look. Impressive technology. If my analysis is correct, this is a specialized radar beacon. I suspect it's how the Mechanist was keeping track of the Robobrain you destroyed. As the next logical step, I need you to install this beacon within me so we can use it to our advantage," Ada said. "Are you sure?" "While there's only a 78.3% chance that I'm correct, I'd like to Point out that it's the only lead we have." "Let's just hope it's safe," Norma said. "I share your sentiment. You'll need a robot Workbench to ensure proper installation, and my presence will be required. To maintain peak efficiency, I strongly recommend that we remain together until the radar beacon is successfully installed," Ada said. "Never ceases to impress me when I see one of those old robots still running," Barb said.

Back at Sanctuary Hills, new Buildings are beeing erected...
"So, you know, going over it in my head, that whole conversation we had, where I pretty much said you were my only friend. Did that sound nuts?" Piper said.
"The robot Workbench is a powerful tool, allowing even the simplest of minds to create complex robots," Ada said.

"Does it have to be you? I could install it on a different robot," Norma said. "My memory contains more relevant data than any new robot you attempt to create. I appreciate your concern, but I can assure you I won't suffer any harm from the installation. So, are you ready?" Ada said. "Let's just get this over with." "Don't worry, the installation shouldn't take long. Once I'm in the robot Workbench, just install the radar beacon and I'll do the rest."
"You certainly know your way around a Workbench," Ada said.
"A moment. The modification was successful. New hardware has been detected and software is updating... And installation complete. Analyzing Mechanist hardware... The radar beacon is receiving a strong encrypted signal but I can't determine the source," Ada said. "It's a goos start at least," Norma said. "Absolutely. With some additional help, I should be able to decrypts the signal and locate the Mechanist. Fortunately, I'm detecting Another Robobrain in the Commonwealth that's receiving the same signal." "Which means the one I destroyed isn't the only Robobrain under the Mechanist's Control." "Yes, and we can use this to our advantage. The encryption on the source signal is complex but not beyond solving. If you can bring me two additional beacons, they should provide the keys and algorithms that I need to enhance my decryption routines," Ada said. "This better work," Norma said. "Provided the human element doesn't fail, it will. I'm uploading the location of the Robobrain to your Pip-Boy now... Just be careful... these robots tend to travel in Groups, so you're likely to encounter Heavy resistance."
"May as well take what we can... they won't be neding those items any longer," Ada said. "Here you go, Ada. One lightly dented but still funcy´tional rada beacon," Norma said. "This will do nicely. And, with any luck, it'll help us trace the Mechanist's signal."

"I hope getting it was Worth the trouble," Norma said. "Iäm sorry if retrieving the Component caused you any harm. I'm going to begin my decryption routine, but it could take a while. In the meantime, I've picked up Another Robobrain beacon signal. It should be the last one you'll need to collect," Ada said. "So where exactly is the last Robobrain located?" "Yes, that would be helpful, wouldn't it? If my calculations are correct, the signal is coming from... Oh, this isn't good. Location confirmed... The Robobrain is at Fort Hagen Satellite Array, which means it's in the hands of the Rust Devils." "Who or what are the Rust Devils?" Norma wondered. "Allow me to explain. My old Caravan encountered them once while crossing the river into the city. The Rust Devils are a Group of ruthless raiders who utilize robots for their nefarious practices. They scour the Commonwealth looking for my kind. What they can't capture and reprogram, they strip for spare parts. I realize they pose a greater threat to me than you... I just want you to be well informed. That being said... Despite what lies ahead, I can easily continue to decrypt the signal as we proceed, so shall we be on our way?" Ada said.
"If you're looking to trade, then let's make a deal! Greene said.
"Welcome to Graygarden, darling! This is the Commonwealth's first and only hydroponics facility run entirely by robots," Supervisor White said. "This Place seems familiar. I Think I saw a bit about it on the news, back Before the war," Norma said. "Yes, Construction was completed mere days before the war. We were able to survive and continue our operations only because our creator made us fully self-sufficient. You see, there are two kinds of robots here. The worker drones carry our labor and maintenance. We supervisors - that is, myself, Greene and Brown - possess sophisticated cognition processors. We are capable of complex analysis and decision-making, a testament to the genius of our creator, Doctor Edward Gray." "I remember him. He was one of RobCo's senior engineers, but more than a Little eccentic." "That's the second time you've said that you remember something Before the war. I Think you're a Little confused darling. You simply can't have been alive back then. Robotics and artificial intelligence were our creator's great passions, rivaled only by his love of television. Perhaps you've noticed that I possess a rather singular personality, as do the other supervisors," White said. "Why did Doctor Gray give you these unusual personalities?" "Genius is restless, darling. It abhors stagnation. Doctor Gray was tired of the standard Mister Handy personality. He looked to his favorite television characters for inspiration, and we are the result. A few other things you should know... talk to Greene if you need supplies. If it's caps you require, Brown might have a few odd jobs. Ah, there's one other thing. A question, really. Tell me, darling, what do you Think of the water around here?" "It's awful," Nora said. "Isn't it, though? Pressure is down. Radiation is up. Why, it's practically toxic. Just Think what it must be doing to my skin! This will never do. I don't mean to impose, darling, but... perhaps you could lend us a hand?" "What do you need me to do?" "Most of our water comes from the old Weston plant, South of here. such an eyesore. Be a dear and pay a visit, hmm? See what you can do? Maybe tidy up the Place? It must be filthy. If you can get it working again, I'm sure I can... come up with something for you," White said.

He was one of RobCo's senior engineers, but more than a Little eccentic." "That's the second time you've said that you remember something Before the war. I Think you're a Little confused darling. You simply can't have been alive back then. Robotics and artificial intelligence were our creator's great passions, rivaled only by his love of television. Perhaps you've noticed that I possess a rather singular personality, as do the other supervisors," White said. "Why did Doctor Gray give you these unusual personalities?" "Genius is restless, darling. It abhors stagnation. Doctor Gray was tired of the standard Mister Handy personality. He looked to his favorite television characters for inspiration, and we are the result. A few other things you should know... talk to Greene if you need supplies. If it's caps you require, Brown might have a few odd jobs. Ah, there's one other thing. A question, really. Tell me, darling, what do you Think of the water around here?" "It's awful," Nora said. "Isn't it, though? Pressure is down. Radiation is up. Why, it's practically toxic. Just Think what it must be doing to my skin! This will never do. I don't mean to impose, darling, but... perhaps you could lend us a hand?" "What do you need me to do?" "Most of our water comes from the old Weston plant, South of here. such an eyesore. Be a dear and pay a visit, hmm? See what you can do? Maybe tidy up the Place? It must be filthy. If you can get it working again, I'm sure I can... come up with something for you," White said.

"If anything's waiting for us around here, I certainly can't hear it," Ada said.
"Of course. Of course those pinchy shellfish would lurk down here," Norma moaned.

"Darling! So good to see you. You fixed our water problem, didn't you?" Supervisor White said. "That's right," Norma said. "That's marvelous, darling, simply marvelous. Here, you can have some of our produce. I'll ask Greenie to give you a discount, too, if there's anything else you need. Now, I simply must get back to work. Ta-ta."
Meanwhile, Norma's young daughter has grown into a healthy little girl...

"That Power Armour... Gotta ge it back to anctuary where I can work on it..." Norma thought.
