Followed or escorted by several Power Armor soldiers, Andy walked into Fort Maxson. The building components inside the bunker are obviously also provided by Vault Technology, but occasionally you can see some equipment and pipelines that are not very uniform, and those are most likely part of Poseidon Energy.

Naturally, this place looks like a refuge.

"Keep up, don't look at the eyes, don't walk the road, if you do something that you shouldn't do, even if you are someone Pierre trusts, you will face the corresponding disposal here." Elder Dyson said in his ears, and Andy could only agree to it all.

Although it was only a quick glance, the military style in the bunker was indeed strong, with the huge Brotherhood of Steel logo pattern spray-painted on the walls, some large laser turrets of equal height arranged in some corners, and occasionally military robots could be seen passing by, gun cabinets and armor cabinets appeared on both sides, and sometimes passing by the lounge, the beds inside looked almost all solid iron beds.

But it feels like the number of people here is not particularly large, and many rooms are empty. As they staggered to the door of a room, Elder Dison walked in and spoke a few words to the people inside, and when he came out, he immediately came to Andy's side to explain to him.

"This is our infirmary, and you should have noticed the number at the door." Andy, who was looking around, coughed and quickly straightened his body, just as Elder Dyson said, the small sign at the door said that the infirmary, then this is where the Brotherhood of Steel used to treat wounded soldiers.

"Oh yes, so can I go in?" Elder Decon raised his hand to stop him.

"Wait, I have something to say to you. First, our scribes have discovered that there is a contagion spreading in the wasteland, so a physical examination is absolutely necessary, and if you are a sick person, you must leave here; Second, after entering, you must cooperate with the scribe's questions all the time, and there must be no non-cooperation, and if there is, then you must leave the place; Thirdly, the scribe will write a report for you, and you must explain the whole purpose of your visit, which is also a matter of our final assessment of you, and if the assessment is low, then your range of movement and time will be strictly limited. Andy listened silently, and when he finally asked if he had a fourth, Elder Dison shook his head and entered the infirmary.

Once inside, there are all kinds of medical facilities everywhere, including simple surgical tools, syringes, medicine bottles, hemostats, bandages, etc., as well as high-end high-tech medical equipment, such as a two-meter-high one placed in the corner of the wall

"Cylinder", and a white painting robot suspended in mid-air. Sitting behind one of the tables inside was a woman in a red robe, with blonde hair and who seemed to be in her twenties, but whose face was ugly, like a flatbread.

Well, it seems a bit disrespectful to describe it like this, but this is what Andy thinks anyway, after all, the female scribe of the Brotherhood of Steel in front of her has a very wide eye spacing, a wide and straight nose, and wide and thick lips.

He sat down in the chair as if nothing had happened, and the female scribe opposite him immediately began to talk to him.

"Hello, I'm Sarah Wheatley, the doctor here. I'm going to ask you some questions, and at the end you're going to go into that machine over there and do a full medical check-up, and if you don't accept or cooperate, you're going to be kicked out, so I hope you don't try to do that, do you get that? Andy listened to her and suddenly realized that the woman's voice was not quite right.

Compared to the standard New California accent of Elder Dyson before her, the woman's accent was more similar to that of the natives.

"Elder Dyson has told me these things, are you a Shield scribe?" Sara froze, then shook her head.

"I.... Not officially included in the Brotherhood of Steel, not even a recruit, let alone a scribe, at best a volunteer. Andy looked at her oddly, and now he could confirm that it must be an Eastern Native, with an accent that was too pronounced.

"Did you join later? But Deson says you're a scribe. Sarah's face moved, and she suddenly realized that she was being questioned.

"This ..... Nothing to do with the agenda we're going on now, right? Elder Dyson may not care about this little title, but that doesn't mean that I can call myself a scribe and claim to be that person. Anyway, I'm going to ask you questions and record them, and you just have to answer my questions, but remember to think about what you're going to answer first. After Andy agreed, Sara began.

"Name."

"Andy."

"I'm asking for your full name."

"Uh.... Andy Arendall, it seems. ”

"What do you mean by what seems to be? You can't even remember your name. Andy looked embarrassed.

"Possibly.... Maybe I was involved in some violent conflict before, so I forgot a lot of things. Sara took out a book she had in her hand and flipped through it a few times.

"So, you may be suffering from amnesia caused by a blow to the head? This is rare, and it deserves to be recorded, he thought to himself, is this doctor still a man who has been learned and sold? After that, the cross-examination continued.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

"Nope."

"Hmm... You take off your clothes and let me see. Andy pouted.

"Is it necessary?" Sara nodded solemnly.

"I need to check with the naked eye to see if you have any skin diseases, some wastelanders have some weird habits that cause them to have a very serious virus or fungus, but they always insist that they are fine." Andy then stood up and took off his coat, and was wondering how Hel could take it off, when the guy immediately became transparent.

A voice came from the back of the neck.

"Let's show off our strong physique!" Sara let out a low snort, then quickly covered her mouth.

"Alright, you put your clothes on." Andy got dressed and sat back in his chair.

"Where did it come from?"

"Hoover Dam."

"Why come?"

"Mayor Dodge and Pierreto, I've come here to talk to Elder Brixley about the truce, and one more thing, about the Ring of Steel." Sara was stunned, but could only continue to copy on the paper.

"Okay, these will naturally be judged by someone to be true or false, and then you have to go into the jar over there, and the machine will check you in all directions, and after the inspection results are qualified, you will temporarily have the right to move here, but you are not allowed to enter any locked area, if you violate it, then you will bear the consequences, and the worst may be death." She stood up and walked over to the operating platform next to the jar, her fingers hesitating between a few buttons.

"Well... Or is this .... I'll have to see. Sara flipped through a book, and after a few moments of reading it tentatively pressed a button, the jar vibrating a few times before the terrible sound of a chainsaw came from inside.

"Oh hell, it's tuned to this.... Looks like it should be another. "This time the jar was opened.

Andy saw that this was clearly an automatic doctor, and there were such things in the nursery and Hoover Dam, but at that time, there were professionals operating it, so it was acceptable, but this person in front of him was clearly a beginner.

"Alright, let's go inside." Sara put down the book and motioned for Andy to step into the auto-doctor. Instead of stepping forward, Andy took a step back.

"You... Are you mistaken? This thing can heal and save people, and it can also cut people into sticks, right? What's that book you're holding in your hand? Don't tell me you're only reading the instruction manual for this thing now. Sarah's eyes wandered for a moment, unable to answer for a moment.

"Anyway, no problem.... If you don't believe it, there's no way to do it, and you can only leave without checking. Andy made sure a few times, and before he finally went in, he still had the Hercules Power Gauntlet ready, and it was a big deal that he would break this thing with one punch, and he wouldn't be standing inside waiting for himself to be chopped to pieces.

When the jar closed, it was pitch black and the robots began to work, accompanied by mechanical sounds and a narrow, pitch-black environment that could trigger claustrophobia, with something sticking to him and something slightly piercing into him.

About ten minutes later, the jar opened. Andy stepped out of it. Sara is standing by looking at the data report from the printer and writing the inspection report.

"Can you show me?" Andy walked over to her and held out his hand to ask for it, and Sara hesitated to give him the report.

[Subject: Andy Arendall] [Strength: 10] [Perception: 8] [Stamina: 10] [Intelligence: 5] [Charisma: 6] [Agility: 9] [Luck: 6] [Ailment: Ma Boiling-X Addicted, about to be in a state of withdrawal] Andy looked at the examination report for a while, this is the second time he has seen his own physical examination report since the last time he examined his body in the Great Dome, the last time he was examined by Dr. Yuri, he did not give the examination report to Andy, and it is estimated that he will have to give him a bottle cap if he wants to see it.

In addition to the increased intelligence under Diana's adjustments, other attribute improvements come from implants or equipment on the body, especially Hull, whose presence has given Andy a great improvement in agility and perception.

At the same time, it is self-evident where that addictive state came from .... Returning the report to Sarah, she reads it and asks Andy seriously about the drug.

"How long have you been using hemp boil-x?" Andy looked at the suspicion in her eyes a little unpleasantly.

"It didn't take long for me to survive a terrible battle before, and I used a lot of it at the time.... Can you help me get rid of my addiction? Sara turned to the book again.

"Hmm... There seems to be a dose of addiction, but it won't be free, you need to give me 300 caps. Andy glanced at the beep-beep boy, who had given Marianne a handsome sum to pay for her journey back to New Vegas, and had left another sum for the child who had been in her womb after her wedding to Mary Jo, and the two Marys had divided Andy's savings between you and me and half of them.

When he saw it, there were only about a hundred bottle caps left in his pocket.

"Oh, that's a bit expensive." Sara snorted.

"Addiction is not common, this is not one of the earthy medicines made from scorpion eggs in the wasteland, but authentic pre-war goods, and you, as an outsider, are very lucky to have access to the medical resources of the Brotherhood of Steel, you can also choose not to treat your addiction here, right? Maybe you can pray that the Wasteland Doctors' methods will work for you? Andy pondered for a moment and leaned over to Sara to smile in return, and Sara writhed uncomfortably as the distance narrowed.

"Can you be accommodating? I'm here for something important, if I'm talking to the elders all of a sudden.... That's not good, you say, beauty. If you're willing to do me this trivial favor, even if I owe you once, we can talk privately afterwards about how I can repay you, in whatever way. As he spoke, Andy looked as far away from her face as possible, uh... There is no lack of beauty in life, but there is a lack of eyes to find beauty, and although this Dr. Sarah's face is not very good, but his body shape is still good.

Sara blushed a little, and after a moment she turned away.

"So... Well, now that you've been accepted into the elders, a hundred bottle caps are ready. Andy thanked her repeatedly, then handed her a hundred caps in pain, so Sara took out a small glass bottle from the table, and then used a syringe to extract the liquid inside, and injected it into Andy's body.

"There is no panacea for addiction, some drugs will have permanent changes in the human body, once addicted, even if you use this thing, it will not work, if you want to completely get rid of addiction, you must completely stay away from those things.

Andy sighed.

"Of course, of course.... I don't use them whenever I can, and a lot of times I have to do it. Sara stood up and motioned for Andy to go out.

"Don't wander around, you can't leave here until the elders have made a decision." Andy was in no hurry to leave, he sat back in his chair and tried to put on a set of Sarah's words.

"I don't really want to leave you yet, Sara, can we talk?" Sara was silent for a moment, then sat back down, not answering if she could do so.

Andy glanced at the books she had on hand and decided to start here.

"I see that you often flip through books, don't you know a lot about many things in your job now?" Sara pushed the book aside and sighed as she felt that it was pointless.

"Did you find out? Yes, as you guessed, I'm learning how to become a qualified Brotherhood of Steel doctor, but I can't find an experienced teacher, and you might be surprised that the only person in this bunker right now who has some insight into medicine is me, an intern, and it's tough for me to be worthy of the job, so I'm still learning. ”

"Obviously, my level of competence was far from enough, so I had to read books a lot to learn, and I barely knew how to use the equipment and tools."
