Fallout New Vegas: The couriers journey

Ep 10 Black mountain and Discovery

Y/N's POV

Here I was slowly making my way up the mountain, fighting through groups of Nightkin, drinking the disgusting Radaway until I made it where Neil asked me to meet him.

Neil: Ah, you're finally here. Ready to get this started?

Y/N: What's the plan?

Neil: I'll go over there and distract the Nightkin guarding Tabitha's radio station by saying I spotted an intruder down near my shack. You wait here until they walk past and head into her radio station...wait, where's the human woman?

Y/N: Cass? Wanted to stay at the truck with Sarah.

Neil: Sarah?

Y/N: A human turned Mother Deathclaw who is a friend.

Neil: Oh. Ready?

Y/N: Ready.

Neil runs out from our hiding spot waving his hands in the air, getting the attention of the Nightkin. They approached him annoyed while looking around, almost spotting me, but I had managed to use a StealthBoy to keep myself hidden.

Nightkin#1: What you want, dumb dumb?

Neil: I spotted a human down near my shake.

Nightkin#2: A human?!

Neil: Yes, we need to go get rid of them like Tabitha asked us Dumb dumbs to do.

Nightkin#3: Ragh! Weak human food!

They ran past my hiding spot with Neil following behind. He looks in the direction I was hiding and gave me a thumbs up before disappearing. After checking if the coast was clear I slowly made my way deeper into Black Mountain, finding one Nightkin carrying a Missle launcher that had stayed behind standing on top of a Platform near the Radio tower. He spots me and Roars? Growls? He screams "HUMAN!" before firing at me.

Y/N: Crap!

I dived behind cover just as the Rocket hit where I was just atanding. Grabbing my gun I ran out of cover shooting at the Rocket carrying Nightkin, hitting various parts of his body but nothing fatal. He shouts in pain as he hits an alarm bell just as I shot him in the head.

Soon a 4 groups of 10 Nightkin came running out of nowhere and charged at me. I was forced to flee into a mearby storage room and barricade the door with shelves, trunks, and anything I could. The barricade wouldn't hold them for long so I had to come up with a plan to deal with 40 Nightkin's.

Y/N: What can I do?

Looking around the storage room I find a powered down Mr. Handy unit. Deciding to check it out I noticed that someone had repaired this robot so many times. On the name tag near its head was the faded name "Rhonda" barely visible.

Y/N: Huh, looks like whoever fixed this guy forgot to take it out of hibernation mode...it couldn't hurt to power it on, could it?

Thud

The barricade almost came apart but luckily one of the garden Gnomes managed to stop it from completely breaking. I flicked the switch near the Mr. Handy Units Head it powered on amd hovered next to me.

Rhonda: Hello, Sir. I am Rhonda. Have you seen Mrs. Tabitha around?

Y/N: Uh, yeah. I can bring you to her?

Rhonda: Thank you very much. My internal clock says it's been 6 years, 52 days, 40 minutes, and 13 seconds since I last spoke to her. She must be so lonely without me.

Just as the Mr. Handy unit finished talking the barricade broke down and the Nightkin came flooding in. They surrounded us and didn't do anything, almost as if they were waiting for someone. A few seconds later a Nightkin wearing a blond, short wig and pink glasses walked in and the Nightkin's made way for her. She must be Tabitha.
