Rebuild Capital Wasteland.

Chapter 3: The subway secured!

He slept little that night, for the first time he did not think about survival but about the future. The lone wanderer had lost his father a year ago, and his mother when he was born. He was refused entry back to the vault, who had gone dark after the Enclave defeat. He was alone. Cross and Fawkes had died throughout the fight against the enclave and the younger Lyons had vanished to fight against something called "Legion." A threat that was many years away but had to be taken seriously. But he was not sad, he enjoyed seeing people actually living and just not survive. He saw the tents around the mall and children playing together. Now he wanted to create a future for the many lives he once saved from the Enclave.

Things had changed. The three days that went since their last meeting at the Jefferson memorial went fast. Lyons sent a group too the abandoned raider camp the same day and they starting the not-so-fun work of removing all the dead bodies and was away the blood. The work was still going on there. TLW had used time to follow a engineer group around the weak area of the fortification fence. Those were the areas that had clear streets leading to the wasteland and places where unwanted company could easily access the mall without no one ever knowing. They estimated that it would take up too two months to fully secure the area.

Yesterday he visited the Northern area of Dupont Station to see where the gate would be. The engineer in charge of the area said that he wanted to make a double gate fortification with two guard towers on each side, making sure that there would be no form of a trojan horse infiltrating the area. At the side they would try to build to small buildings, a barrack and a guard leader office. Right now there were nothing there, but soon it would be the entrance to the mall. But now there were other things to worry about.

Around him through the entrance of one of the subway stations stood three other people. Two BOS and one person from Reilly Rangers that were this mission demolition expert. They all were veterans. The ranger had not been with Reilly at the failed mission at Statesman hotel, but he had come from a family that had passed their secrets of creating and understanding demolition techniques. He moved from an uncivilized tribe with his family, but he was the only one surviving the the two years trip. The two steels was on the other hand with him at the battle of Jefferson memorial, or at least he thought so. Difficult to know when they had their metal helmet on.

" Okay, everybody ready? Everything is equipped, we have three entrances that needs to be shut, so i dont wanna come back here before we are done."

"Check"

"Check"

"Check!"

"Okay then, lets go." They turned around and went down the escalator who had stopped running 200 years ago. The subway tunnels was not so dangerous as they used to be. Lots of traffic the last year between had almost killed of the Feral ghouls that were living down there. Still, there were many hundred kilometers of abandoned subway tracks, stretching far beyond the area they now called the mall. Therefore it could never be sure that they would exterminate all threats. So the next solution was too seal the whole area. The only line still planned to exist were the one leading to the Adams Air force base.

They went deep into the tunnels, away from the more popular stops and down to the ones that were never used. After 10 minutes of walking they stopped. If it havent been for the lights on the pip-boy it would be pitch black. One of the steels marked their route with chalk on designated places so that would not get lost. TLW watched the Pip-boy, they were at the designated place.

"This is the place guys. Do what you are supposed to do." The demolition expert started wiring C4 charges around the tunnel. The C4 was acquired from Adams, where there was tons of it. Enough to raze a city, but at these times no one could afford to loose another city.
