The Storyteller: FALLOUT S2 E11 - Commonwealth

*Wastelander looking at the Sunset Factory*

In the ruins West of New Vegas there's a building with a huge bottle right in front. Greenhorns from East always think it's the Nuka-Cola factory, but it's actually the home of the West's favorite beverage, Sunset Sarsaparilla.

"Man, I could use a sarsaparilla right." Yang said.

*Storyteller walks to Festus*

"Howdy Pardner!" Festus.

"Salutations." Penny said back.

"Howdy Festus." Storyteller.

"If you and Festus are old pals, enter a command now." Festus.

'?' Everyone.

"Old Festus here will give you the "official history" of Soda pop but-" Storyteller.

"I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand that could you repeat it?" Festus.

"He's old." Yang said.

'disapproving beep' Edna.

"I don't think so." Penny said. Which made everyone turn to her.

"How do you know what she said?" Blake ask.

Penny look surprise. "I learn a lot about computers with my father."

Blake and Yang seem to bay it, well Ruby and Penny gave a sign.

"No, ED-NA, I don't think old Festus was exactly state of the art when he was built." Storyteller.

"No kidding, he look like one of those fortune machines at the old pier." Yang said.

'Curious beep' Edna.

"Good question." Penny said.

"Why? Well, in the back when times they didn't want their robots to be too human." Storyteller.

"Well, Ironwood made the Atlesian Knights look more human." Blake said, as she remembers cutting down the old models.

"Humanity had a tenuous grip on its own survival, and they didn't need any competition from lifelike robots." Storyteller.

Ruby and Penny look at each other.

"They made simple bots like Festus here to handle work that humans couldn't be bothered to do." Storyteller.

'Curious beep' Edna.

"Well, should be one." Penny said sweetly. Before anyone ask...

"Yup, there have been a few advances in robotics over the last two hundred years. In fact there are robots so advanced that they can pass themselves off as real humans." Storyteller.

Ruby and Penny jump.

"And there's a whole network of people on the East Coast dedicated to helping these "Synthetic humans" live free in the Capitol Wasteland." Storyteller.

"That's nice." Blake said.

'Interested beep' Edna.

"I don't know." Penny said.

"Naw. No one in the Capital Wasteland can make robots that advanced. Not even the Brotherhood of Steel. These synthetic people come from a place called The Commonwealth." Storyteller.

"What's the Commonwealth?" Yang said.

*Storyteller walks over a pre-war map*

"That should help." Blake said, as she takes a picture to show everyone later.
