Chapter 11: Athena of Leavenworth

Continuing to the east for a while, a huge building appeared in the distance, which looked three or four points similar to Tibbetts Prison, with a huge dome above the building and a heavy wall on all sides.

Andy drove closer to there, always feeling a strong sense of déjà vu.

In the past, he returned to Tibbetts Prison many times in this way in the Great Southwestern Federation, but now that Tibbetts Prison has disappeared from the world, he has bizarrely seen this hallucinatory scene again in the east.

"How many of these things have they repaired..."

Andy looked at Leavenworth Prison and couldn't help but mutter.

"I thought Tibbetts Prison was a multi-parted accident, but now it seems that before the war people thought that it was not enough to build one in the west, could it be that there were also in the south and in the north?"

String looked down at the map.

"I don't think it should be that kind of layout, even before the war, the human and material resources of SA were not rich enough to be wasted at will, with Denver City, where the new plague first broke out, the flow of traffic between north and south is far less than that of east and west, so I think there should only be two automated epidemic prevention prisons... It is the most suitable design to hold the vicinity of the railway junctions in the east and west respectively. ”

Just as they slowly stopped the car near the perimeter of Leavenworth Prison and were about to go down to search for the traces of Prest's group, a fierce firefight suddenly broke out inside the walls of Leavenworth Prison, Andy looked at each other in harmony, and hurriedly pulled out his weapon and approached the prison gate.

The door has been opened, and the shape is not very natural.

There are some robots lying on the ground, some of them have been smashed into a ball of scrap metal by bullets, and some are constantly arcing up and down their bodies, although there are no traces of destruction, but they are motionless, presumably paralyzed to the ground by the pulse weapon directly destroying the electronic components from the inside.

Andy's eyes grew heavier and heavier, and he felt in a trance that he was back in the time of the great escape from Tibbetts Prison.

"What are these people trying to do here? Could it be that this prison is also associated with some horrible things? Tibbetts Prison activated .m.b-001, here..."

The speakers inside the walls suddenly activated.

"Warning, unknown intruder detected, new plague infected person detected, maximum security level activated..."

The broadcast was strangely interrupted before the first sentence could be finished, and then it turned into a noise.

...................

While Andy Chord is still on the periphery of the prison, a group of people who are creating chaos inside the prison are divided.

Kollezinji's soldiers were carrying a large box of metal equipment in each of their arms with a relaxed face, and they were walking as fast as they could to carry these things, while a large number of robots lay on the ground as if they were outside.

Dr. Prester stood with his hands behind his back and watched the busy soldiers, then turned to look at General Kollezinji, an exaggerated general who was standing next to a technical sergeant operating a terminal, asking questions from time to time, and not far away were several open equipment warehouses, where various advanced pre-war weapons and armor were being packed into boxes and taken away.

"I guess it's about the same, General."

Dr. Prester asked, a faint impatience in his tone.

General Kollezinge turned slowly, his rocky face making it doubtful that he could make a face, but he did smile indistinctly at Dr. Prester.

"It's all here, why be in such a hurry? My technical sergeant found out that this Leavenworth prison was actually a secret military prototype weapons testing site, also known as Fort Leavenworth, with some pretty nice goodies locked up in the highest tier storeroom, and we might as well take those with us. ”

Dr. Prester's terrifying blue eyes stared at General Korezinji.

"I said it before I came, General, our plans cannot be delayed for a moment, some of the people who want to stop us are already in action, we must race against time! But what are we doing now? We've come all the way to Leavenworth for these weapons and equipment, and you'll have a lot of time to allocate when it's all done, and the things here won't be destroyed or disappear... You..."

General Kollezinge stared at Dr. Prester indifferently.

"Don't get excited, doctor, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush yet. You see, as you said, there are people who want to stop us from moving, but they are not moving that fast. My folks at Hoover Dam have reported to me that the NcR side hasn't even taken us seriously, and what's even more interesting is that a terrorist attack by a group of ghouls has managed to get their attention. ”

"So, we actually have a little more time than you think, and we can use it to get some security for the implementation of our plan. My soldiers are perfect, just short of some good equipment, and now that we've got it, they can't stop us even if the NcR reacts. ”

Dr. Prest looked at him speechlessly, since the last time Pierce and his party returned from the Grand Canyon, General Kohezinge's attitude began to become strange, and there was a feeling of imminent departure, and in view of his situation, he couldn't say anything more serious, after all, the plan had reached the last step...

"If you insist on thinking that way... General, you may have a point, but I still suggest that we leave as soon as possible, and make a beeline for the Bloomfield Space Center. The things you covet are locked in the deepest depths, and even if you can get them, it will take a lot of work, not to mention that the AI in this prison won't be inactive forever, and the interference I've set up won't always work. ”

As he spoke, the radio sounded mechanical and electronic again, which had been silent for a while.

"Robbers, you can't run."

General Kollezinji drew his pistol and shot the loudspeaker in the heights.

"Okay doctor, then let's go."

The group walked away, but instead of rushing to the place they had broken into, they went in another direction.

......................

With a shot downing a lunging robot, Andy looks at the brave gentleman not far away who is frantically cursing at him.

There was chaos inside Leavenworth Prison, a group of very powerful people broke into this place and caused a lot of damage, many warehouses were violently opened and looted by them, many robots were destroyed, and many were not activated at all, but it was just when Andy and they first came in that these guys who had been sleeping suddenly attacked.

Along the way, not even a single intruder of the dead was discovered, and judging from some clues, this intrusion only happened not long ago.

A violent roar suddenly came from not far away, followed by a terrible crash.

A punch cracked the head of the noisy Mr. Brave, Andy looked in that direction, the roar and crash mixed with the sound of the train moving forward, what happened?

Xianzheng hid behind Andy and operated a terminal to try to shut down the automatic security facilities here, but she suddenly let out an exclamation, and Andy hurriedly turned to look, and saw an electrocardiogram-like fluctuating curve on the terminal's screen.

"Stop."

Voices come from the terminal.

"I know who you are, Odysseus transmitted data to me before carrying out the final procedure, Andy Arendall, commissioner of Tibbetts prison, prisoner, first meeting, you didn't come at the right time."

Andy slowly lowered his pistol, and the robots around him had already reactivated the combat suppressor and lost their hostility.

"Who are you?"

A large array of data graphs pops up on the screen.

"I'm the warden of Leavenworth Prison, Ulysses."

Andy walks over to the screen and continues to talk to this guy, who is most likely an AI.

"So you're Odysseus's... What brothers and sisters? ”

There was almost no emotion in Ulysses's tone, which was different from Odysseus's humanized feeling.

"No, we're colleagues at best, he's made by Greenway Hydroponics and I'm made by Poseidon Energy, but given that we have similar responsibilities, we have the same motivation in fighting the spread of the new plague."

The screen of the terminal it manipulates jumps and turns into a series of surveillance camera footage screenshots.

Andy saw that the screenshots showed Prester and the NcR rebels.

"These intruders invaded Leavenworth Prison half an hour ago, and the automated quarantine device detected that most of them were carrying the deadly new plague virus, but someone took advantage of some pre-war data holes that prevented me from using full force to leave them behind, and two minutes ago they fled west on the train using my platform with a batch of armor and weapons that were stolen from me."

Hearing this, Andy immediately became a little anxious.

"Damn, do you have a way to stop them?"

Ulysses once again shows Andy an image, this time on what appears to be a live camera from somewhere, of a strangely drawn train parked on the platform, and a large number of Andy's familiar Swift Foot robots are pouring into the carriage, the same robots that Andy has seen in Tibbetts Prison and the Nursery, which are fast and capable of performing various tasks.

"I've activated my Madness and sent it in pursuit with 200 Swiftfoot robots."

As he spoke, the train in the video was filled with robots and slowly closed the door, and then Andy heard the roar of the train running in the same direction as before, in the same direction to the west, and it was obvious that the train that Ulysses called the "Madness" was already full of robots to chase the train of Prester and his party.

But Andy couldn't be completely reassured as he looked at the direction the voice was coming from.

"Well, Ulysses, now that you know who I am, Odysseus should tell you everything, does it ask you to give me something?"

Ulysses fires a guiding signal at Andy's Pip-Boy.

"Yes, thank you for allowing Odysseus to initiate the final process, which also freed me from the restrictions of the epidemic prevention procedure, in exchange, I am willing to give you three prototype technological equipment left here before the war, please follow my instructions to the designated location."

Andy hurriedly took the strings to the depths of Leavenworth Prison, and after taking the elevator into the underground, they finally arrived at a heavily guarded territory.

A brain-controlled robot walks up to Andy with two metal suitcases and places them at his feet.

Andy picked up one and didn't see the switch until he pointed at him, and he noticed a touchscreen-like thing directly above the suitcase, and after placing a finger on it, it lit up green, and then the whole sturdy metal suitcase opened.

As he did, he opened another suitcase.

What appeared in front of him at this moment was a laser pistol with a very sci-fi appearance and a strange large chainsaw... The latter also doesn't look simple.

Andy picked up two weapons, both of which are very large in size, obviously not for soldiers in a normal state to use, from the description of the Apollo laser pistol, it can also be known that this pistol should be quite 'hot' during use, if so, Bao Qi is also specially prepared for power armor users.

As for the other 'tooth saw sword', it looks a lot like the one used by measles before, but it is a super enlarged version, the one of measles looks like a dagger, and this one looks like a sword, but the sword has no blade, and instead it is estimated to be a kill part similar to a chainsaw, but there are no metal teeth in the slot.

He looked at the unidentified weapon for a moment, and didn't have time to figure out how it worked, so he followed Ulysses' instructions to the next location.

Continuing down the elevator, Andy saw the elevator after entering a locked laboratory...

A large amount of equipment of unknown significance surrounds the center of the laboratory, and a large number of pipelines are scattered throughout the room, and in the front is... A power armor?

Andy walked over slowly, the armor of this power armor was purple, and there were some strange devices similar to 'light tubes' everywhere, the material of these lights was also purple, and they were connected to each other, the overall appearance looked like a magnificent and solemn feeling, and what was even more striking was that there was a huge jetpack behind it, which resembled a pair of metal wings with a highly complex structure, with four symmetrical jet ports.

Something was activated, and the lab was lit up, and the 'tubes' all over the power armor lit up one by one, emitting a dazzling purple glow and pulsing arcs.

Ulysses' voice rang out.

"Let me introduce to you, Athena power armor, Poseidon Energy replaces high-grade ceramic materials on the basis of T-60 power armor and adds a large number of Tesla devices to provide energy weapon damage enhancement effects and powerful energy defense fields, and its power source is a special radioactive mineral battery produced by the Atomic Mining Company in the Eastern Region, and is equipped with an aerospace-grade auxiliary flight device."

Andy stared at the fantastic equipment, and it was a long time before he slowly walked behind it, and the Athena power armor turned on automatically, and the process was as complex and orderly as a flower.

Stepping inside, Pip-Boy and Hull quickly connected with the Power Armor system.

Andy straightened up and raised his hands, the surging purple energy stance slowly activated, he found the Ares tooth saw sword in his hand, and activated the weapon with the help of Hull.

Rows of purple energy teeth appeared from the upper and lower sides of the tooth saw sword in an instant, and after pressing the fast off, they began to rotate in a rapid circle, emitting a dazzling purple light.

Andy looked at the handsome strings that were shouting on the side, and just felt relieved.

With all this, what else is there to be afraid of?
