"I've gotten into Hermes XIII's internal systems and have had a full check of its status, and unfortunately, this rocket seems to have undergone some illegal modifications, and even some equipment has been brutally dismantled recently, which I suspect is likely to be done by Prester and others, not only to facilitate their quick takeoff, but also as a means of preventing others from using another rocket to pursue." Andy muttered about the word illegal transformation.

"I heard a cassette tape in the space center before, and before the war a scientist said that a strange group of people had taken over Blomfield, well-trained, well-equipped, with control of all kinds of automatic security systems, and arrogant, claiming to be the masters of the SA... It should be that they modified Hermes XIII, what did they do? Diana presents a complex series of charts.

"They cut a lot of the research equipment and load space and instead maximized the number of people that could be carried, and now Hermes XIII can accommodate up to six astronauts, which is beyond the original number of people limit, and all aspects of the design have made way for this design change, and most of these modifications have been abandoned halfway." Andy wasn't surprised, as he had learned before, those people seemed to want to use Hermes XIII as a tool to help key members of them escape from Earth before a nuclear war. It could be .m.b-002, which has now crashed at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, or it could be some other extraterrestrial shelter that Andy doesn't know about, or from the prototype of the Great Dome, an alien colony, it may be that some people have built alien bases in places unknown to the public long before the war.

"Who do you think these people are?" Although Andy asked, he knew the answer in his heart, and Diana gave that answer without hesitation.

"Enclaves, it could only be them, the strange name of this organization marks their arrogant undertones, there are a lot of conspiracy theories surrounding them that circulated secretly before the war, but the mainstream media never acknowledges their existence, after all... It's all under their control. Most people think of the so-called enclave as a shadow government of high-ranking SA officers, politicians, scientists and agents, as well as some traditional tycoons and big entrepreneurs, who control all areas of the SA from all sides. Generally speaking, defense contractors of large sizes are considered to be inextricably linked to them, such as... Poseidon Energy and Shelter Technologies. Andy and Chord glanced at each other, they were familiar with the name of the organization.

Many years ago, an extremely tragic battle broke out on the west coast of New California, and the city of Navarro, which was controlled by the enclave, was fiercely besieged by forces from all sides of the entire New California Republic.

After the war, the NcR declared their complete victory over the enclave, which began with the enclave's plot to use FEV poison to spread toxic substances throughout the New California waters, killing all beings they considered to be 'mutated deformities', including ghouls, super mutants, and the vast number of wastelanders, which was tantamount to a declaration of war on everyone in New California, and ultimately led to the destruction of their West Coast bases.

Another view is that the Battle of Navarro could not be called a complete victory, because somehow, the soldiers of the enclave of Navarone voluntarily abandoned the city of Navarro and fled to the east before the last moment came, and given their high degree of organization and discipline and a large number of vehicles such as flying birds and nuclear vehicles, as well as extremely high individual combat effectiveness, the NcR side gave up interception and containment, and sat back and watched the enclave's living forces flee to the east, After confirming that the internal resistance had been severely weakened, he launched a major attack and occupied the city of Navarro.

The victory was unprecedented in uniting the people of New California, who thought that the world would henceforth move out of chaos and toward order and prosperity.

This is only half true, as the dispute over the distribution of the Spoils of Navarro laid the foundation for the future outbreak of the Iron Plague, and the Great Rebellion in Maxson State led to a protracted NcR civil war, which was not finally eased in 2253 with a formal truce between the Brotherhood of Steel headquarters and the NcR government.

So, the enclave, which is synonymous with this organization, is considered synonymous with the worst of sin in today's NcR.

Even the flag with the pre-war SA was covered with a dark connotation.

"Well, on the bright side, at least I can bring a few more helpers." Andy struggled to think of a little good, but actually, where did he go to find so many people to go through this journey with him?

This is not any space travel, and the Prester gang may fight back with all their might to ensure the smooth implementation of their New World project, and the two sides will likely have to fight to the death on the space station, and... Perhaps the worst-case scenario is that they will only have a one-way ticket in their hands, and who knows when something serious will go wrong with the space station, a space station that has been left behind since the pre-war period and has been unmaintained for a long time?

In the struggle of space, facing the dilemma of having nowhere to escape, even if they know that if they do not face the difficulties, they will encounter the end of the world in the near future, how many people have the courage to face this great danger of death?

He stopped thinking and looked up at Diana in front of him.

"Make me a list of what I need to do in the future, and I'll do it right away." Diana nodded.

"It's not just that you have to do it, launching a rocket is a huge project, we not only need all kinds of resources to repair it, but we also need a lot of professional manpower, Andy, it's not something you can do alone, you need to find helpers and outside help, and I believe that as long as they understand the necessity of this, regardless of the background, those who are selected by you will all choose to come here to help you, but it will take some language art and a process of negotiation." She sends a signal towards Andy's Pip-Boy, and Andy immediately sees a hint of a new mission popping up on the Pip-Boy.

[New Mission: Hermes] [Description: You need to go to various forces to gather their manpower and material resources, raise a ground team and accompanying team that can help you fly into space, and obtain the key internal code of the Hermes XIII rocket] [Progress: 1. Go to the Great Dome to convince the scientists to become ground operators, take them to Bloomfield 1/7, and have them provide the mapping equipment needed to repair the rocket 0/1.

2. Go to the Hoover Dam to convince the scientists of the Eastern Branch of the Followers of the Apocalypse to become ground operators and pick them up at Bloomfield 0/3.

3. Go to Fort Maxson to convince the scribes of the Eastern Division of the Brotherhood of Steel to become ground operators 0/3 and have them provide the three catalysts needed to repair the rocket.

4. Go to the reservation to find the disarming chip for the Hermes XIII rocket clip, and bring it back to Blonnfield 0/1.

5. Go to the reservation and look for the special code 0/1 that is used to turn off the automatic security system inside Hermes XIII and use it to disarm the automatic security system.

6. Go to the nursery and get some self-maintenance eyeball robots and bring them back to Bloomfield 0/6.

7. Go to where possible and search for metal materials and e-waste that could be used to repair rockets, and bring them back to Bloomfield0/13.

8. Find any five teammates who are willing to travel with you on a Hermes XIII rocket to the .m.b-001 space station to stop Prester 3/5.

9. Go to the bottom of the Grand Canyon to find the main wreckage of .m.b-002 and obtain its CPU in order to obtain the .m.b-001 docking code 0\/1.

Andy looked at the large list of mission signs that went beyond the screen and suddenly felt a headache, and after looking closely, some of the progress that had been completed was traceable, such as the 7 scientists of the Great Dome: Dr. Goddard, Dr. Agnes, Dr. Donald, James, Paul, and Nina Chords, of which the chords stood beside him.

In Bloomfield and it is estimated that the three people who are willing to follow him into space should be String, Gillian and Big Bear, these three people can act as ground operators and rocket entourages at will, and Big Bear is only suitable for fighting as combatants, but after all, he is the actual manager of the Rocket Gang, if he leaves Bloomfield, when the time comes, all kinds of people gathered here are mixed, once a conflict breaks out and the consequences are unimaginable, there must be a reliable person on the ground responsible for maintaining order, And Big Bear is the most suitable candidate.

String walked over and grabbed Andy's hand.

"Don't you think about throwing me on the ground, I definitely want to walk with you this time, I can't stand the torment of waiting for the result on the ground, and I can't accept that you may stay in space forever, if you fail, at least we can die together, I've said this many times in the past, you know my intentions, right?" Andy was a little embarrassed, he really wanted to arrange for Gillian chords to stay on the ground at the first time, after all, they were both women, and they were proficient in science and mechanics, but there was no way to do that now.

"I promise you, string, that we'll go to space together this time." Gillian stood aside and added a few words playfully.

"Well, I'll stay at Blomfield, and I'm sure I'm qualified as a ground operator, but I'm certainly not enough, Sid... Maybe you can barely make up the number, but I suggest that you choose a more secure candidate, unless you really can't find anyone, I'm not discriminating against him, I'm just starting from reality. Big Bear also immediately took a stand.

"You can go at ease, boss, when you find all the people, I will take the little ones to manage this place clearly, no one wants to mess around, although I don't know so much about scientific things, but I have muscles." After explaining it to everyone, Andy was going to run alone in the Atomic Humvee, and this lap was impossible to say that he would run all over the Great Southwest Federation.

Before leaving, he asked Diana a few questions related to the mission.

"Diana, what is this de-chip for?"

"This is also an item necessary for the smooth launch of the rocket, and after visiting the internal systems of Hermes XIII, I found a problem that I had not noticed before, the rocket was fixed to the launch pad with a special fixing clip, and a special release chip must be used to unfasten, and if it is not lifted, trying to launch it will cause serious damage to the rocket and eventually explode."

"In addition, the rocket was deliberately equipped with a series of automatic safety devices by the members of the pre-war enclaves who carried out illegal modifications, including several concealed automatic laser turrets, which are not only extremely lethal, but also very likely to cause damage to the rocket or the activation of the safety procedures of the internal systems if attempted to be violently damaged, causing the rocket to lock itself and not be launched." Andy didn't expect so many situations to occur, and he also saw the fixing clip, which was a clip that clamped the rocket next to the metal tower, it turned out that there was no way to release it automatically, as for the turret, the turrets that were previously arranged around the launch platform were remotely shut down by Gillian using the automatic safety facility control terminal after the reactor power was restored, which avoided the tragedy of the gang that was rashly close to the rocket launch platform during the previous Kyle period being shot by the turret again, and the result was not only around the launch platform, Now Diana tells him that even the inside of the rocket is there.

"Can we solve these two problems with some simple solutions, such as... Temporarily shut down the energy supply and the like. Diana rejected his offer and sneered.

"Of course not, first of all, shutting down the main reactor in Blonnfield can't cut off the power supply of the automatic safety facility, because the launch pad under the Hermes XIII rocket is arranged with an independent power supply, specifically for emergencies, these independent power supplies cannot be turned off remotely, and close to them is the first thing to solve those automatic laser turrets, even if you can get close, turning off the independent power supply requires a specific code, which is the one I asked you to find. You may want to destroy the generator in a simple and brutal way, but if you do, you will also trigger the security procedures inside the Hermes rocket and cause it to lock. ”

"Secondly, if you shut down the main reactor now, it will take a certain amount of time to do it, and in the process it will cause the whole Bloomfield to shut down, and when the rocket needs to be launched, you will need to restart the main reactor to restore the power supply, which is not a few hours wasted time, and no one can do anything in the process... Your thoughts are meaningless, go and do what you're good at. Andy scratched his face in embarrassment, and then he asked Diana curiously about the Brotherhood of Steel.

"I thought you didn't know about the Brotherhood, but you even know where they are hiding." Diana explained coldly.

"Under the watchful eye of the omniscient eye floating in the air, there are no secrets on the ground, even if they hide in the mountains, they cannot completely cut off communication with the outside world, these people's ideas seem to be somewhat extreme and dangerous, Akisha has described their way of doing things to me, and in view of this, I will not have any direct contact with them, and you must settle them in advance to avoid chaos when they arrive in Blonnfield." Andy sighed, but he believed that the commander of Fort Maxson was a kind and sensible man.

"I see, do you have any advice on finding repair materials?" Diana lists some punctuation points on the map.

"The repair of the Hermes XIII rocket requires a lot of special steel and high-polymer materials, and the process of manufacturing them is too complex and time-consuming, and we have to look for finished products left over from the pre-war period as much as possible, and as far as I know, there are many materials that can be used in the modular shelter building materials used in the shelters built by Vault Tec."

"I'll get the ZAx from Vault 29 to work with you, but you'll have to bring things back yourself, the nursery side of the restoration isn't complete yet, there's no extra material... Perhaps there are some things that can be recycled from the ruins of Salt Lake City, the Grand Canyon uranium mine, and the ruins of Denver that you can check out. Andy nodded, said goodbye to everyone, and left Bloomfield in the Atomic Humvee.
