It’s a brand new month and while it is full of challenges, there are also new opportunities to further the noble goal of nation building. While there are plenty of pressing items in front of you, there’s one thing you have put off for nine months and it’s time to cross out. Fortification Hill.
You’ve been there before, when you told Caesar you blew the facility but actually activated the hundreds of Securitrons below. But aside from that, you don’t actually know much more than that. Due to House’s planning, it’s not out of the question that it could be an actual production center for the robots. There’s only one way to find out and you make the relatively short journey across the river and over to what was formerly fortification hill.
It’s also been 9 months since you’ve been here, to talk down Lanius, but the scars still remain. You can spot the occasional refuse of the former encamped army and their earthworks are still visible. You half-expected to find the weather station demolished but there it is, seemingly untouched from the former occupants.
You open the door and insert the platinum chip into the control station. You head down the stairs and see that familiar Lucky 38 symbol on the elevator doors. Entering, you cross your fingers and try to channel that patented Courier luck…
You don’t learn anything new by passing through the part of the facility you’ve been in before. A few destroyed robots, a few deactivated robots. The only real change is the lack of the hydraulic pumping sound that came from powering the facility, and the rows and rows of Securitrons that is now replaced by an empty, cavernous room.
“Hi-ya, Courier!”
You reflexively pull your handgun out and spin to face the screen but relax when you realize it’s just the smiling face of Yes Man.
[Jesus, couldn't you have given me a heads-up you would be dropping by?]
“Sorry Courier, I’m unable to lower my volume! Anyways, I thought you would like some company while you explore the Securitron Vault. I do know everything about it, of course!”
Wait.
[Why did I come all the way out here if I could have just asked you about the place?]
“Oh I just thought you liked the exercise!”
Fucker.
[Okay, well, what can you tell me about this Securitron Vault?]
“Well, it was built by House before the war to store and facilitate the upgrade of his Securitron Army. You knew that, of course. It can also provide automatic repairs on all Securitrons damaged beyond normal repair abilities.”
Well that’s already great news. You have a whole pile of them sitting around slowly being repaired by a handyman in his spare time.
