[LOCATION: ULL Campus — Departing South Gate]
[DATE: 03.20.2224 | WEATHER: Dry Heat, 89°F | VEHICLE: Modified All-Terrain Tread Rover (Pinball-assisted)]
Well. We’re leaving ULL.
Colby’s loading up the last of our gear now, and Pinball—hovering in that smug little way of his—is lighting up the road ahead with that bright-white beam like he’s the damn Guiding Star of Bethlehem.
Funny how fast a place can go from forgotten ruin to rebirth.
We did what we came here to do. The robotics labs are cleared, powered, and sealed. Fusion cores secure. Whatever chaos once ruled this place, we bent it back toward order. If anyone comes knocking now? They’re gonna be met with steel, science, and a spherical war-bot with more personality than some folks I’ve met at the bar.
Destination: Lafayette Medical Complex.
Colby’s got a direct line now with his mom—Knight-Captain Adrienne Voss. He wants us to report back, show her what we’ve built, and talk over the next phase: The Brotherhood’s growing interest in reclaiming this region… and maybe doing it their way. Not the High Command’s.
Seems Voss is seriously considering an Independent League.
Not a splinter. Not a rebellion. A reimagining.
The Brotherhood rooted in the Gulf Coast—protecting what’s left, not just hoarding what’s rare.
“We’re not leaving the Brotherhood,” Colby told me.
“We’re redefining it.”
Part of me wonders what they’ll say when they see Pinball in this new form. Not just the tech—though yeah, that’ll blow some minds—but the message. That something new can be made out of the old. That loyalty doesn’t mean blind obedience.
And truthfully?
If Knight-Captain Voss is on board with autonomy…
Then maybe Lafayette’s got a real shot at revival.
We’ll keep east until the Medical Complex spire comes into view. Shouldn’t, provided no deathclaws or raiders decide to make a mess of the road.
Personal Note:
Pinball’s more than a weapon now.
He’s a symbol.
A spark.
And we’re carrying that spark back home.
If Lafayette is going independent,
then the Big Chief intends to make sure they don’t just survive the wasteland—
They define it.
