Chipped in

Boone fires his Hunting Rifle at the closest Assasin, blowing a hole clean through his head before dashing forwards and driving the butt of his rifle into the other's face. Anja steps forwards and fires her Silenced 12.7mm SMG at him, riddling the man's side with bullets before looking up the stairs at the other Assasins.

Boone shoves the corpse down and aims up with his rifle, but is forced to dodge backwards as the Assassins shoot down at him. Anja kills a couple with a spray, but has to move back as well to avoid getting shot.

Elsewhere :

While Anja and Boone were fighting for their lives, Tamia was having her own problems... As soon as he entered the facility and the doors closed behind her, she'd realised she'd made a mistake... Her gun had been stripped from her as she'd entered Caesar's tent, she was too distracted with kidnapping the tyrant that she'd forgotten to get it back...

This wouldn't be so bad, if it weren't for the fact that there were many ceiling turrets in the next room getting ready to gun her down... All she had was her Proton axe, how the hell was she going to get past this!?

This moment hadn't been the first that she wished Afton had given her one of those mecha suits... Being bulletproof sounded pretty good right about now...

"Surrender or die!" a robotic voice loudly states as a couple of Protectrons walk through the entrance at the end of the room. They slowly approach her, which is a boon since if they set up shop next to the ceiling turrets she'd be well and truly boned.

She waits around the corner as the robots slowly approach and once they were close enough she springs out and slashes one with her Proton axe... Its EMP properties are fully displayed as she easily dismantled the first one.

The one behind it attempts to fire at her, but hits the robot in front accidentally. Its manipulator's manoeuvrability is terrible so it simple isn't able to retaliate while its ally is in the way. This allows Tamia to reach over and drive her Proton axe through its class dome-like head.

With both robots down, all that was left is to deal with the ceiling turrets... Something Tamia didn't think she was able to do... It wasn't like she could backtrack either, as the doors were probably locked until she completed her mission.

She scowls and looks down at the remnants of the Protectrons for a couple seconds when she gets an idea... She cracks open their chassis' with the help of her Proton axe and eventually finds what she'd looking for. Their reactors.

Both are fortunately undamaged from her initial attack, which makes it all the easier to improvise with them. She delicately cuts into the shell of the reactor with her Proton axe which immediately causes them to heat up.

The Geigar counter of her Pipboy goes crazy, so she doesn't waste time and tosses the reactors under the ceiling turrets, taking cover immediately after.

...

Things go quiet for a bit after that, the only sound she can hear is the thrumming of the slowly malfunctioning reactors... The hum gets louder and louder until-

*BOOOM!*

The ground beneath her shakes as the reactors detonate, destroying the ceiling turrets entirely and completely blowing the door on at the end of the room away.

The radiation from the explosion still lingers, but Tamia ignores it for now. She can take some Radaways once everything is said and done.

She heads deeper into the maze-like facility, destroying all of the defences that attempt to stop her progress. Fortunately, any more ceiling turrets she comes across are hidden in corners and relatively easy to get to. A quick jump and swipe of her Proton axe puts them out of commission.

She had been tagged by a couple lasers, leaving scorch marks on her duster, but it is superficial at best. She'd need to remember to thank Afton for the duster later.

Tamia is still completely unsure of what the facility is actually for. She passed by a few windows that looked at nothing but darkness, so perhaps the answer was behind them? Using her Pipboy light, she illuminated the area behind the windows slightly and gaped at what she say...

A literal army of robots almost exactly like the one's used in New Vegas, Securitrons. Was this House's plan? To use an army of Robots to take over the Mojave?... She'd seen how effective Securitrons could be, but she was still unsure if they would be effective against whole armies.

Regardless, she had a mission to complete, the only thing that'd changed was that she now knew what she was getting into. She continues into the facility, destroying robots and defences until she finally finds the console.

The Pipboy map House had given to her Pipboy had been misleading at best. It didn't seem to properly indicate the separate floors, so it all looked like a jumbled mess. She shakes her head and sighs, "Whatever. Let's just get this over with." she mutters as she pushes the Platinum Chip into the slot on the console.

*RUUUUUMMMBBBBLLLLEEEEEEEEEEE!*

*TREEEEEMMMBBBBLLLEEEEEEEE!*

*SHHHUUUUK!*

*KKKKKKKUUUUUUSSSSSHHH!*

Various sounds begins occurring around her as the ground shakes. It sounds as if a factory had just been turned online and was shaking off the dust from being inactive for so long. A nearby window reveals that all the hibernating Securitrons had all turned on and were now being modified by something?

Did the Chip have some new software that needed to be installed or something? She shakes her head, she could find out later, for now she needed to get back and help the others escape in one piece.

With that, she leaves, backtracking through the facility and occasionally glancing at the various windows that displayed the happenings behind the scene. Truly, there were ALOT of Securitrons down here... Tens of thousands, or maybe more. House had definitely been playing the long-con, how did no one find out about this sooner!?
