As they get down from the truck and approached the training yard, Sico surveyed the area, taking note of its layout and potential threats. The yard appeared deserted, with overgrown vegetation and dilapidated buildings scattered across the landscape.

Sico: "Alright, everyone, stay alert. We need to be cautious as we scavenge the area. Stick together and watch each other's backs."

With their weapons at the ready and their senses heightened, the team began to explore the National Guard Training Yard.

As Sico and the team approached the building, their caution was put to the test when they suddenly came under attack. A mounted machine gun turret on the rooftop of the building opened fire, catching them off guard.

Bullets whizzed through the air as Sico shouted commands to his team, urging them to take cover and return fire.

Sico: "Take cover! Return fire, and aim for the turret!"

The team scrambled for cover, seeking refuge behind nearby crates and concrete barriers. Despite the chaos, they maintained their composure and began to return fire at the turret, aiming to disable it and eliminate the threat.

After a tense firefight, Sico and his team managed to disable the machine gun turret, neutralizing the immediate threat. However, before they could catch their breath, a pack of feral ghouls emerged from the surrounding area, drawn by the noise of the firefight.

Sico quickly assessed the situation and shouted instructions to his team as the feral ghouls closed in.

Sico: "Watch out! We've got incoming! Form a defensive perimeter, and keep them at bay!"

The team swiftly shifted their focus from the disabled turret to the approaching feral ghouls, forming a defensive perimeter to fend off the relentless attackers. Armed with firearms, melee weapons, and whatever makeshift defenses they could find, they braced themselves for the onslaught.

Bullets and energy blasts tore through the air as the team fought valiantly against the feral ghouls, aiming to eliminate the threat and ensure their own survival.

Sico coordinated their efforts, directing them to focus their fire on the advancing ghouls and provide cover for each other as they battled to repel the relentless attackers.

Despite the ferocity of the feral ghouls, Sico and his team stood their ground, fighting with determination and resilience. Slowly but surely, they managed to thin the ranks of the ghouls, taking down one after another in a relentless struggle for survival.

After a grueling battle, the last of the feral ghouls fell, leaving the team exhausted but victorious. They took a moment to catch their breath and tend to any injuries before regrouping to continue their mission at the National Guard Training Yard.

After the intense battle with the feral ghouls, Sico and his team took a moment to catch their breath and assess their surroundings. Despite the exhaustion and injuries sustained during the fight, they remained determined to press on with their mission.

Sico turned to MacCready, knowing they needed to secure their perimeter before proceeding.

Sico: "MacCready, I need you to lead 10 militia members to guard outside and keep watch. We can't afford any surprises while we're inside. Make sure to stay vigilant."

MacCready nodded in acknowledgment and quickly selected 10 militia members to accompany him. They took up defensive positions outside the building, keeping watch for any potential threats while the rest of the team prepared to enter.

With the exterior secured, Sico led the remaining militia members and the scavenger squad into the building. Their mission to gather resources and information at the National Guard Training Yard was far from over, and they needed to proceed with caution as they explored the interior.

As Sico and the team ventured deeper into the building, they reached a room with a broken ceiling, revealing the second floor above. On the right side of the room, they noticed a door that appeared to lead to the next wing of the building. However, it was locked and could only be opened using the terminal situated beside it.

Just as they were about to access the terminal to open the door and explore further, they were caught off guard by a sudden onslaught of feral ghouls. The creatures emerged from the shadows, their ghastly appearance and relentless aggression posing a new threat to the team.

Reacting swiftly, Sico shouted commands to his team as they scrambled to defend themselves against the ferocious attackers.

Sico: "Ghouls incoming! Form a defensive line and watch each other's backs!"

The team sprang into action, engaging the feral ghouls in a desperate struggle for survival. They fought fiercely, their weapons blazing as they attempted to fend off the relentless onslaught.

Despite their best efforts, the feral ghouls proved to be formidable adversaries, their sheer numbers and frenzied attacks testing the team's resolve.

Amidst the chaos of the battle, Sico remained focused, coordinating the team's movements and directing their fire towards the advancing ghouls.

While the wounded were being tended to, Sico assessed the situation and quickly formulated a plan to continue their mission. He ordered those who were not injured to sweep the building on the first and second floors, searching for resources and information.

Sico took charge of leading the sweep on the first floor, ensuring that they methodically checked each room and area for anything of value. Meanwhile, he appointed a trusted captain to lead the sweep on the second floor, trusting in their ability to carry out the task effectively.

As Sico and his team cautiously entered the room filled with dead feral ghouls, their senses heightened as they scanned the eerie surroundings. Amidst the decaying corpses, they noticed a human body clad in a Brotherhood of Steel uniform lying on the ground.

Approaching the body cautiously, Sico examined the scene. Beside the fallen Brotherhood member lay a weapon, a holotape, and a distress signal device.

Sico carefully retrieved the holotape and the distress signal device, his mind racing with questions about what had transpired in this room.

After carefully retrieving the holotape and distress signal device, Sico examined them later to gather any valuable information they might contain. While pondering the implications of their discovery, Sico noticed a dog tag on the body of the fallen Brotherhood member. Recognizing its significance, he carefully removed it and examined the inscription. The name on the dog tag read "Knight Astlin," revealing the identity of the fallen Brotherhood member.

Determined to honor Knight Astlin's memory and learn more about the circumstances of their demise, Sico tucked the dog tag into his pocket for safekeeping.

With a sense of solemnity, Sico then ordered the team to continue sweeping the area outside the room, determined to press forward with their mission despite the unsettling discovery they had made.

With the first and second floors thoroughly swept and cleared, Sico and his team regrouped in the main area of the building. The unsettling encounter with the deceased Brotherhood member had left a somber mood hanging over the team, but they remained focused on completing their mission.

As the team gathered, Sico addressed them, his voice echoing in the now silent building.

Sico: "Well done, everyone. We've cleared both floors, and it seems the immediate area is secure. Let's regroup and assess our findings."

The team nodded in agreement, their expressions reflecting a mixture of relief and exhaustion after the intense sweep. They awaited further instructions from Sico, ready to proceed with the next phase of their mission.

Sico took a moment to gather his thoughts before addressing the team once again.

Sico: "Now that we've cleared the building, let's gather any valuable resources we've found and prepare to depart. We'll review the information from the holotape and distress signal device once we return to Sanctuary. Our mission here is complete for now."

With the team in agreement, they began to gather any salvageable resources they had discovered during the sweep. As they prepared to depart, Sico couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to uncover about the events that had transpired at the National Guard Training Yard.

As the team gathered any salvageable resources they had discovered during the sweep, Sico couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment that they hadn't found much of value aside from the password for the terminal beside the iron door.

With the team gathered around, Sico inputted the password into the terminal beside the iron door. The screen flickered to life, confirming the successful entry of the password. With a low hum, the locks disengaged, and the heavy door creaked open, revealing a another door beyond it.

Sico motioned for the team to follow as they entered the newly revealed area. They proceeded cautiously while killing two feral ghoul, their weapons at the ready as they navigated through the dimly lit corridor. Eventually, they reached another door, marked with a sign that read "Barracks."

As they cautiously entered the corridor beyond the door marked "Barracks," Sico's instincts proved to be correct. The dimly lit passage was eerily quiet, heightening their senses as they advanced. Suddenly, two feral ghouls lunged at them from the shadows, their ghastly forms illuminated by the flickering light.

Reacting swiftly, Sico and his team sprang into action, engaging the feral ghouls in close combat. With precise strikes and coordinated efforts, they swiftly dispatched the attackers, ensuring the safety of the team as they pressed forward.

Once the threat was neutralized, they continued down the corridor, their senses alert for any further dangers that might lie ahead.

As the intense battle raged on, Sico and his team fought valiantly, gradually gaining the upper hand against the horde of feral ghouls. Their coordinated efforts paid off as they managed to eliminate the majority of the frenzied attackers, thinning their numbers with each precise shot and well-aimed strike.

However, just as they were on the brink of victory, a new and more formidable threat emerged from the shadows. A glowing one, its irradiated form emitting an eerie green glow, approached them with unsettling determination.

Reacting swiftly to the appearance of the glowing one, Sico seized the opportunity. With practiced precision, he aimed his assault rifle and unleashed a well-aimed headshot, taking down the glowing one with a single decisive shot.

The glowing one fell to the ground, its glowing form fading into darkness as the threat was neutralized. With the immediate danger quelled, Sico and his team took a moment to catch their breath and regroup, their determination undiminished despite the harrowing encounter.

With the corridor now clear of threats, they pressed forward, determined to complete their mission and uncover any valuable resources or information within the barracks.

As Sico and his team swept through the barracks, they made a significant discovery in the form of MRE (Meals Ready-to-Eat) supplies. The stash contained numerous sealed packages, most of which were still intact and suitable for consumption. Recognizing the value of the find, they gathered the MREs and prepared to transport them back to the truck for later use.

In addition to the MRE supplies, Sico searched the file room for any valuable information but came up empty-handed. However, his attention was drawn to a terminal that was still powered on. Intrigued, he accessed the terminal and began to sift through its contents.

To his surprise, the terminal contained information about an armory located outside the building. Realizing the significance of this discovery, Sico quickly relayed the information to his team.

Sico: "Team, I've found something crucial. There's an armory located outside the building according to this terminal. Let's secure it before we leave."

With renewed purpose, Sico and his team made their way outside the barracks to locate the armory. They were determined to make the most of their mission at the National Guard Training Yard and seize any valuable resources that could aid the Minutemen in their endeavors.
