Sameth

The door opens on a cloudy scene of wreck and ruin. "This is Springvale," Ellen says. "There's only two people who live here these days- there used to be raiders holed up in the school, attacking anyone who passed. Now that we've got Tanya living here, her giant ants tend to make short work of anybody hostile who tries to set up camp. If you see a bug bigger than you, just be polite. Tanya gets upset if people hurt her ants."

"Are you sure? I'm glad to walk back with you after we've dropped off the robot. My leg hurts but I should be able to manage."

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Ellen almost says not to worry about it. Then she snaps her fingers, an odd, clumsy gesture given that she's wearing power armor and there are gauntlets involved. "Actually, you should come back here after all," she says. "To talk to Moira. And to meet my own robot, which was made by a different company and uses different technology. Not to mention I've got copies of Dean's Electronics back in Megaton that can bring you up to speed, I think..."

"Then let's do that. I want to learn as much as I can,"

He grins at the gesture since he's glad they found a solution.

"All right," Ellen says. "I'm going to need about five more minutes before this data transfer is finished, but after that we should be able to go find a robot..."

They can look for the place's power supply later. Robot and Milliways first.

"We passed a number of them and they don't look too difficult to move."

"They're heavier than they look," Ellen warns, "but if nothing else we can probably take it apart and move it limb by limb. There were toolboxes down in the entry area, with all the lockers." She grins suddenly. "We could get you a RobCo jumpsuit, too. The men and women who worked here used to wear those to protect their regular clothes when they were manning the machinery or finishing off the robots."

"We could also carry some of the pieces in the jumpsuit. Let's look for small robots and I'll figure something out,"

He's feel more comfortable with this idea and he gets a robot to take apart.

Most of the robots are about the same size, but there are a few in broken chunks. They're as good a place as any to start.

Some hours later, there's a heap of robot parts (and what might be the remains of some kind of facial imager- hard to tell) to Sameth's name at Milliways, and the factory lies behind them in the distance. Dogmeat's off chasing mole rats along the way. "That went pretty well," Ellen observes. "I kind of wish the solar array was in better condition, though. We'll never be able to repair it enough to get the building live again."

[makesthings]

"Given enough time I could probably make new parts for it so it could work again or get them from Bar. It just might be longer project. Thank you, that robot will help me understand better how everything works in your world."

"Oh, you're welcome," Ellen says. "I'll give you a few science and electronics texts, too. Those will help- I've been reading them forever."

[makesthings]

"When I get home and have access to the library in Belisaere, I'll bring you back some books or get some from Ancelstierre, whatever you'd like,"

Sameth's so grateful that she's given him a chance to collect unusual objects and take them apart and Ellen gives him challenging commissions.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

"Thank you," Ellen says. "I really aopreciate the help, Sameth."
