While Andy is busy dealing with the control center, Dr. Goddard and Chief Scribe Isaac are trapped in the shuttle.

Because it was not vertically fixed on the Hermes rocket when the shuttle was launched before, the space inside was also upside down, and all the seats were placed in the direction of the sky, which also made it very troublesome to move inside, and it was necessary to climb slowly like climbing a mountain.

"What? I'm going to choke to death! Goddard coughed and grumbled, watching the shuttle's hatch shut, and he couldn't even figure out what was going on.

Isaac quietly fiddled with his personal terminal, and then connected it to the terminal inside the shuttle with a data cable.

"If you bald man can stop moving around, the dust here can be smaller." Goddard glared at Isaac angrily.

"What do you say? Still trying to figure out what's going on? Why are we locked up here? Isaac knocked on his terminal irritably.

"Are you blind because someone used the override command to urgently lock the shuttle's cabin door? I'm trying to lift the blockade he's put down, and I'm guessing there's been an invasion of Bloomfield, and I think I heard some heavy weapons firing and explosions... This must have something to do with the sudden blockade. Goddard glanced at Isaac's equipment greedily, and felt a little sour in his heart, the similar object he had barely made out of a broken beep-boy on the side of the big dome had not been very good, and now he didn't have the face to pull it out in front of a pedestrian...

"Is there anything I can do?" Isaac stopped his movements and looked back at him sarcastically.

"You? All you have to do is close your mouth and sit in a cool corner and make sure you don't talk or move. "Goddard was angry, and no place in the Dome had dared to speak to him like that for so long, and there was no place in the past where he had not taken him seriously as a scientific expert and a technical master, and now that he had come to Bloomfield, he was frequently regarded as a nuisance and illiterate by the hateful Brotherhood of Steel in front of him.

"You say it again? Stop, I've got to check what you're typing, who knows if you Brotherhood of Steel lunatics will do anything at this moment of life and death for human civilization, and if the invaders outside are also covering for you? You think you're the only one who deserves to save the world... No, it's even just that you can't do it and don't want anyone else to do it, that's what you are! Isaac was grabbed by Goddard's arm for a while, and immediately became angry, and the beard on his face seemed to float up.

"You bastard! You're definitely a fool with a low IQ, and only a fool among those fools who don't know anything about science and technology in NcR would think you're a smart scientist, and then get carried away with you, and use your brain, which is not as large as the brain of a two-headed cow, to think about it, isn't the Lost Mountain, the headquarters of our Brotherhood of Steel, also in New California? What's in it for us? The more Dr. Goddard thought about it, the more angry he became, and his hands kept moving.

"You tech gangsters who only know how to hoard and block technology still have the face to say such things? Thanks to your long-standing monopoly on pre-war technology, we have never had the opportunity to systematically understand pre-war technology and put it into practical terms for the benefit of all NcR citizens for the benefit of the whole country. The devil will believe that you armed cultists know how to think rationally, how can a sane force choose to betray the country, constantly launch terrorist attacks, and even support those marauders! I think those invaders out there are your people! "Isaac didn't know where to start for a while, whether it was 'for the benefit of the whole country' or 'armed cultists' left him speechless, even if he wanted to argue several times that the Ring of Steel was different from ordinary Brotherhood of Steel, even if he wanted to refute Goddard's claims with the various rumors of misuse of pre-war technology that had been circulating from the military since the Battle of Navarro, but what was the point of saying these things at this moment?

Faced with the hateful-looking bald head in front of him, Isaac just wanted to shut up and give him a few punches.

The two tore apart a few times, and then began to fight, although Isaac was far less tall than Dr. Goddard, but as a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, he was not a vegetarian, and in the Brotherhood, even the scribes in charge of science and technology had to learn how to protect their lives and preserve the pre-war technology of recycling in the face of the dangers encountered when they went out to the wasteland.

Dr. Goddard, taking advantage of his height and size, took the lead in Isaac's face. Overlord boxing', this is the favorite move used during the fight of the hooligans in the market, stemming from its precious actual combat experience, winning in a no trick to win with a move, pay attention to a sudden outbreak and timing to capture, in the opponent has not even reacted when the direct punch will hit the opponent dizzy, and then with the help of the offensive initiative to continue to add follow-up blows, where can be hit, if you can directly hit the opponent's nosebleed jet can create a deterrent effect.

Isaac quickly raised his arms in front of him and swung into an X, steadily blocking Dr. Goddard's rogue punch, and the moment he succeeded in parrying, he decisively changed his position, grabbed Dr. Goddard's outstretched right arm with one hand and pulled it in his direction, and the other hand in turn with great speed and hit Dr. Goddard's face as he was approaching because of the pull.

The punch that blocked the counterattack was fast and ruthless, and Dr. Goddard was already unstable in his center of gravity after the punch, and he staggered forward directly under a pull, and before he could react, he felt a pain and pain in his eyes and nose, but the palm that grabbed his right arm still did not mean to relax, and he was grabbed like this and received three or four punches in the face in a row before being pushed away, and the next second he sat down in the corner in the middle of the whirlwind.

Isaac disdainfully kicked Dr. Goddard who fell to the ground, the move he had just used was called 'Scribe Counterattack', which was a series of fighting techniques designed by scribes within the Brotherhood of Steel who were not good at fighting and had to often go out with the team to deal with complex pre-war scientific and technological achievements, and there were many different variations, including a knee raise block with his leg during an arm injury and a flying leg to tease his leg, When holding a dagger, he blocked the murder weapon in the opponent's hand and quickly attacked the opponent's eyes and neck, as well as Isaac's unarmed counterattack punch, the middle knuckle protruded as a strike point when punching, pay attention to steady and ruthless, seize the opportunity to launch a rapid counterattack at the moment of blocking the opponent's attack, if it is a veteran and do not spare his hand, it is enough to pop the enemy's eyeballs with one punch or hit him in the chin and cause him to faint on the spot.

If the enemy is too strong or wearing a head protector to discourage them with a single blow, there is a follow-up move, which uses the crooked arm with the grappling technique to form a 'guillotine', strangling the enemy's neck and compressing the bilateral carotid sinuses to cause a shortage of blood supply to the brain, which can cause a person to lose consciousness in a short period of time, and if it continues, it can be fatal.

But this is all a change of tricks added later, the simplest and most basic, the most representative of the scribe's counterattack is Isaac's block counterattack just now, as a scribe of the Iron Brotherhood, Isaac is proficient in this set of fighting skills and has a lot of actual combat experience, if he is more ruthless just now, maybe Dr. Goddard will become a disability because of eye damage.

After solving this troublemaker, Isaac was busy for more than ten minutes and finally unlocked the shuttle door, he called up the operation log, and found that it seemed to be a blockade initiated by Diana, and after walking out, he stood on the platform where the rocket was fixed and looked around, and saw some fighting and corpses that fell to the ground, so was it really invaded outside?

Who is it? Pulling out a telescope and looking at it, Isaac was shocked to realize that the invaders were dressed like members of the Brotherhood of Steel, and then looked at the livery logo on the equipment, it was really the Ring of Steel, and the bald man actually guessed this right... Thinking about it, there was the sound of someone staggering and stepping on the metal floor behind him.

Isaac took two steps to the side without looking back, and Goddard, who had punched the air, almost fell headlong from the air, but fortunately, Isaac grabbed the clothes on his back and dragged him back.

"You bastard!" Dr. Goddard gritted his teeth angrily, his face was covered with his own nosebleeds, and he felt a little disgraced and continued to chase Isaac and wave his fist, but he tripped and fell to the ground.

"Bald, see no, if you hadn't made trouble, I would have opened the door a long time ago." Isaac said, pointing to the shuttle's hatch.

He was about to continue saying something, when he suddenly skimmed to the bottom of the rocket near the fixture, as if someone was doing something.

Poking his head out, he saw a stranger in a black rubber bodysuit, metal armor, and a full-coverage helmet, who was busy mounting something black, square, and connected with colorful wires on a rocket.

Isaac frowned, and suddenly his heart was shocked, this guy obviously wanted to cause destruction, if it was a high-explosive bomb, the rocket might suffer irreversible damage, and then everything would be over.

Dr. Goddard struggled to get up from the ground, only to see Isaac pull out his laser pistol.

"You—" Isaac ignored him, and just pointed his gun at the unknown person below and fired a few red lasers, but even though he was far away and the first move, the man dodged a few times as if he had foreknowledged, and the lasers only hit the concrete launch pad below.

Goddard ran to the metal fence and looked down, also noticing the strange man and the strange object he had mounted on the rocket.

"Who is this? What did he do? Isaac fired a few more shots, all of them missed, the black figure was like a real shadow, and he couldn't catch a chance to hit under the left and right dodges, even if Isaac was confident in his shooting skills, he knew that it was impossible to threaten the strange man below with this ancient laser pistol in his hand at this distance, and...

"You can ask him your question in a moment, he's approaching us." Goddard shuddered as soon as he said this, and he groped through all the pockets of his white coat, but he couldn't find a gun.

"How... What to do? Isaac looked solemnly at the pitch-black guy who gave up the elevator and began to climb the rocket mount with his bare hands like an insect, as fast as he walked on the ground, presumably not to have come to them for friendly communication.

"Bald, you want to create a chance for me." Some bruises erupted from Goddard's forehead.

"When am I allowed you to call me that? And, what chances? Isaac moved his body a few times and replaced the battery of the laser pistol in his hand.

"Whatever you get, maybe you can use your bald head to reflect the sun's rays, and make him stop." Goddard was about to speak, when he saw the guy who had been sneaking down below and doing something unknown suddenly came up from under the metal railing in front of him.

Freckles climbed to the top platform of the launch mount at great speed, the eyes in the helmet staring indifferently at the two slippery skins in front of him, the one on the left in a red robe and holding a laser pistol was the one who had just attacked him, and the other tall bald slippery skin in a white coat with a bloody face and looking at him in a daze was like an insignificant character.

Thinking of this, he jumped off the metal guardrail like the wind, rolled on the ground, pulled out two automatic pistols with extended magazines, pulled the trigger, and the terrible rain of bullets immediately shot out, but the reaction speed of the slippery skin on the opposite side was also very amazing, the moment he landed, the slippery skin in the red robe had already simultaneously hid behind the metal shelf next to him, and the bullet punched out many holes in the rusty iron, but it was impossible to confirm whether it hit the slippery skin.

Freckles glanced at Goddard, who was still standing next to him, and ignored the stupid-looking smoky skin, intending to rush over and finish off the red-robed skin, who dared to shoot at him.

But Goddard suddenly shouted at him.

"Hey! Look here! Freckles subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw Goddard holding up something that looked like some kind of small lamp with one hand and his eyes closed, and the next second the strange thing emitted a dazzling white bright light with a click, which not only made Freckles temporarily blind but also made his brain begin to become confused, and many strange thoughts filled his mind, such as wanting to improvise singing and dancing, thinking about the meaning of life, and so on.

Although he was confused for a few seconds, Freckles immediately realized that the situation was wrong, and he relied on his memory to subconsciously want to jump off here directly in the case of blindness, but as soon as he turned around, his helmet was knocked off, and then he felt that someone pushed him down and rode on him and punched him wildly in the face, one punch left and one punch right, although it did not cause any substantial damage.

Freckles kicked the guy who didn't know who it was, and just squinted his eyes and stood up and shook his head in an effort to clear out the messy thoughts in his head, but a touch of red appeared not far from him.

Several lasers hit his head accurately, the heat burned through the small surface tissue of the ghoul's face, sliced through the skin, muscles, bones, and nerves, and sent energy deep into the freckles' skull, the pain made the natural ghoul scream, and he struggled to take out a syringe and stab himself in the heart, but then the laser shot through his head and cut off one of his arms.

The natural ghoul suddenly fell to the ground and stopped moving. Isaac slowly lowered the laser pistol in his hand.

"Well done, bald, what were you just that? Cameras? Goddard barely got up from the ground, a footprint still on his white coat on his chest.

"White flash... Application equipment of coEd technology... Don't you always say you know everything? Don't know this? Isaac stared thoughtfully at Goddard.

"Where did you get it?" Goddard sneered.

"Isn't it painful to feel a place you never know? Enjoy the feeling and reluctantly accept that there are so many pre-war technologies in a world that are being discovered, used, and spread outside of your Brotherhood of Steel, and you don't even know it, you tech marauders! No... You don't even want to use those techniques, you hoarders! Isaac frowned, he really cared about the device Goddard had taken out and the technology inside.

"It's not appropriate to say that right now, but I'll get the answer I want from you if I have the chance, just wait... Let's go down and see what that guy has put on the rocket. The two left the platform and walked to the elevator, but suddenly a strange voice came from behind them.

They looked back in unison, and saw that the corpse with its carbonized head had actually 'swelled', and all the equipment was propped up by it, and the structure cracked to reveal the withered yellow body inside, and a large number of yellow-brown freckle-like growths were all over it.

Under the surprised gaze of Isaac and Goddard, the giant's corpse slowly stood up, and its charred head was 'squeezed' out of its body like a big black head, which made it empty from the neck up, but at the broken point of the arm, a large mass of new growth tissue suddenly bulged, and three or four arm-like things slowly stretched out, and then something like a ball of flesh poked out.

The slimy yellow flesh on the surface of the ball gradually broke away as it struggled, revealing a pale skull inside, and a pair of dark eyeballs in the eye sockets of the skull were gurgling and rolling irregularly, revealing a chaotic malice in the eyeballs.
