Chapter 27: Year 2103 to 2106

[A/N: Sorry for no chapter last Monday, for those of you who do not know, I had my Wisdom Teeth Removed on that Monday, and was recovering the entire week]

Another year seemed to pass making it the Year 2104 and to my surprise, two young orphans that were adopted into the Tribe were quite talented in Alchemy and both enjoyed doing Alchemy, to my even bigger surprise both young orphans who were in their early teens were actually an inseparable couple as well!

So, I showed them what little I remembered of Alchemy from The Elder Scrolls Skyrim, and from there they began to learn themselves.

Of course, to prevent them any and all harm when it comes to their Alchemical Experiments I made sure to personally watch over them and protect them in case any of their experiments were to be dangerous and whatever concoction they managed to cook up was humanly used on animals.

...

Months passed as the young couple continued to learn the wonders of Alchemy and even though sometimes they would spend hours a day learning the wonders of Alchemy, they showed no lack of energy or enthusiasm when learning.

I even found that they started focusing a lot more on the Science lessons the teacher teaches them in class and to no surprise, they were some of the smartest in their class when it came to science.

But, they were not the only talented young students learning in School.

Including them, there are 12 talented students of the young generation in the Tribe who were all pursuing their talents.

I have even begun funding a Project that involved rebuilding a Pre-War off-road cargo truck.

Luckily I had quite a few engine parts that allowed them to make a functioning Fusion Battery Engine for the Truck and any parts that we did not have were easily bought from scavengers in Vegas which were actually faring much better than one would expect since we actually buy most of the scrap they scavenge in exchange for a number of caps depending on the quality, quantity, and type of scrap they sell.

We even give them discounts on buying food and water from our Stalls in Vegas making the food and water even cheaper for them to purchase which only motivated them more to scavenge for us.

Other than that, we have also begun spreading our influence over to smaller towns within the Mojave, like Goodsprings, Searchlight, Nipton, Novac, and Primm, and have even set up a caravan that now travels all throughout the Mojave with plenty of Food and Water for sell.

Of course, I have made sure that the Caravan is properly guarded by multiple Spore Humans and even a Ranger or two at all times.

…

More months passed as 2105 came rolling in and this year Randall and his family have been living happily within Zion Valley.

Little Michael has reached 4 years old and was a bright young child.

Randall's wife, Sylvie has also picked up the skill of hunting after being taught by her husband and turns out, she was quite a good shot with a rifle.

Since they were the only ones living within the green paradise known as Zion Valley I made sure that every entrance into the valley was guarded by Spore Plants or the Spore Carriers.

...

Another year passed and the year became 2106 and this year was quite eventful.

The first event that happened was that the young alchemist couple has found a way to create an organic version of Rad Away using mostly Punga Fruit and Stimpacks to heal severe radiation damage.

Other than that I had some of my Rangers capture a whole group of Feral Ghouls.

Now you may ask why I would do such a thing, the answer is simple, I wanted to do an experiment.

I wanted to see if [ Restore Mind ] had the ability to actually fix the degraded mind of a Feral Ghoul and if it did, would it also restore their memories and personalities?

It was worth at least giving it a try.

Also, the Tribe's Caravan has been doing really well and while it does get attacked occasionally by Bandits they are no threat when compared to the Rangers and Spore Men that guard the caravan.

We have also begun mass-producing Stimpacks and have even opened up a clinic in the future location of the future New Vegas Medical Clinic which offers Radiation Removal Treatment, Medical Supplies, Injury Treatment, and even several kinds of drinks that provide some kind of medicinal effect for the consumer.

We have also gotten that Truck from the project up and running and now it's used in the Caravan to carry the supplies safely.

The Garden of Eden's Fame only continued to rise and grow in Vegas and while this was a good thing, I noticed that the Bandits and Raiders of the Mojave have started becoming smarter and trickier to deal with.

They now usually travel in big groups and try to avoid any town or area that has our presence in it at the time.

The problem became so big that I actually had an entire Ranger Group gather and deal with these large groups of Bandits that terrorized the common people of the Mojave which they ended up being successful with sadly one of the Rangers dying due to his wounds...

...

A few more months passed by and I reached level 12.

From this level, I unlocked several new surprising things.

Ironwood, Copper Root, and even something called crystal vines.

These new plants I got from the level seemed quite interesting seeing as the Ironwood Tree had wood and bark as strong as iron and roots as strong as copper.

When it came to Crystal Vines I found that the vines were quite reflectant and absorbed thermal energy quite well.
