"And now you see what we're up against. The Fog and the creatures it spits out have taken the whole island from my people. But for your help when we needed it, you have my thanks. If you manage to survive despite all that, you must be tough."
"The Fog's radioactive, right? But there are pockets of it, the Deep Fog, that are hard fallout. And as deadly as that is, that's only part of the problem. Things live in the Fog. Thrive. You think what attacked the Harbor's bad? There's far worse further inland."
"The Fog's been here forever. There are good years when it recedes and the island's almost normal. Then there are times where it spreads all over. And people have to cling to any patch of land free of the Fog. For the past... oh, eight years or so, it's been getting... as bad as it's ever been. Now, Far Harbor's one of the only places left that's safe."
"It doesn't matter if a cowboy resides in the mountainsides or the flats, as long as it's warm and there is a place to lay his hat, ma'am."
"I like your enthusiasm young fellow. You remind me of those old western stories that my Pa used to tell me. Hehe." Chuckled Captain Avery's
"We used to have a peace with them, until a certain ex-hothead menace named Allen Lee. Allen pulled a gun on him. He claims the preacher reached for his. If we're up to me, I would have hanged Allen for what he did to that preacher. We don't have police. Or really any law. Just custom and popular sentiment. And after everything the preacher said, it was abundantly clear doing anything to Allen would've made matters worse."
"So bad blood with the children of atom. OK, got that."
"I will do everything in my power to keep the peace here. So, you're here looking for Kasumi, right? She headed inland to the synth refuge, Acadia. Getting there will be dangerous. You'll need a guide, Old Longfellow. No one knows the Fog like him. But, word of warning, he's a bit of an acquired taste, best place to look for Longfellow is the bar. The Last Plank."
"Good Luck Mainlander. And please... Lend a hand around town, if you're able. Even if it's slapped away, people like the Mariner and Cassie and others need help. And let me say something you might not hear again, thank you."
Going around town, Six sets his minions to finish the quests Safe Passage, Hull Breach and Blood Tide. He also sends his minions to multiple coastal parts of the island. Six is planning to take the island and some parts of the sea, making this floating island into a perfect training ground.
Six soon arrives to The Last Plank to get his guide, he finds him sitting in a corner In the bar.
"Captain Avery said you can get me to Acadia."
"Heard there was a scuffle, you get your hands dirty? Hmph. I'm done leading people to the deaths in the fog. Nice fellow couldn't keep up. Didn't last five minutes."
Six drops a couple of bottles of whiskey on Longfellow's table. Getting his complete attention, while he licks his lips in anticipation.
"Okay, Mainlander you got my attention. I can get you to Arcadia. But you got to listen to me. Go where I say. When I say it. Still won't be easy. Stuck up your supplies. Then the real work came begin."
"Fallow me!"
Sighing Six fallowed Longfellow to Acadia. He couldn't help but agree to follow all his Instructions because he was the expert guide here and he wanted to complete the quest sooner rather than later.
"Let's head out of town. Acadia's above the Fog line on the mountain. It's a bit of a hike. We need to move through the main drag. Old mountain trail is where we're headed. The Fog ain't like nothin' you've seen in the Commonwealth. Mainlanders think a dose of Rad-Away's all you need. Haha."
Longfellow soon came to a dead stop, dropping all pretenses he inspected the ground and found tracks.
"Tracks. Fresh ones. Trappers ahead. When the bullets start flyin', find cover. Keep your head down if you want to live."
In the middle of the road by an abandoned SuperDuper Mart, they get ambushed by trappers. Using his Observation Haki Six takes out 4 trappers with his Emitter Haki shots, leaving Longfellow and Nick to take out one each.
"You're not half bad in a scrap. Figured I'd have to take care of the lot of them. Might just make a proper Far Harborman out of you. Hahaha! See. The Fog can do a number on you. Gets you all turned around. Does somethin' to your brain. Trappers were mean to begin with, but now..."
On the way they meet up with a couple of feral ghouls. In a show of mercy, they put down the poor creatures.
"Here's the mountain trail. We stick to this, and we'll make it to Acadia. Game trails crisscross the road, so don't be surprised if we got local wildlife to deal with."
Passing a checkpoint, they began to climb the roadside mountain. And they soon get attacked by the local wildlife. They quickly dispatched the 5 wild wolves with no issues.
"You like them puppies? We grow everything extra mean on the island. Still got a ways to go."
A short while later, Longfellow stops in the middle of the road. Hearing an ominous roar.
"Hear that? Crawler. They usually stick to the Deep Fog. Best we steer clear. But you never know."
"When I was a young lad, no higher than your knee, whole island was covered in Fog. The Fog eventually rolled back. People resettled, but they got comfortable. Started takin' things for granted. Folk got short memories, all this has happened before."
Out of nowhere, they ran into a pack of Gulpers and Mirelurks, which takes out by blowing half their bodies off, with Emitter Haki shots. Increasing his proficiency and range in Haki.
"Gulper's got a fondness for fresh water. A small Gulper, like the ones in these parts, is a fair challenge. Now the big ones, they can grow two... three times the size of a man. Good thing you don't see too many of them around."
They continue to wander deeper into the fog until they reach a small grove of trees covered in glowing blight, whereupon a voice reaches out to them. It was a preacher from the children of the atom.
"Hold there. Stringing another soul to their damnation, old man?"
"Well, what have we here? Another rad-worshippin' lunatic, that's what."
"Your barbs do not harm me. I am shielded by my faith."
"How 'bout bullets? Faith shield ya against those, too?"
Bang!
Without warning, the children of the atom preachers head exploded. Longfellow gave Six a nonchalant look, not caring at what he just did.
"Guess she wasn't shielded by bullets."
"Good riddance. Let's keep movin'."
Up ahead, the air's clean. No Fog. Acadia's not too far now.
Soon, the fog thins, and Six sees a dome like structure in the distance. At last, Longfellow brought them to Acadia. he stops at the bottom of the stairs and begins to speak to Six.
"And we've arrived. Acadia already been watchin' us for a good spell. If you want to talk to them, just go inside. They'll be waiting for you."
"Want to stay for the ride, ya grumpy drunk."
"Hm. Alright, where the hell not. Beats drinkin' alone, and you've got more spine than most of the folks livin' here. Maybe we can help each other out."
