Thread: ☢Fallout☢: Curie and the Iron General (Eldrithe Whisperwind x Dr Herbert West)

There were many things about Curie that were absolutely adorable and Nate found it hard to remember that she had started her life as a modified Mister Handy. Before the war he hadn't been familiar with any of the models beyond the ones commercially available. He had read about them in the paper and seen them in the news but that was about it. Though there had been a few models like her at the hospital when Shawn was born, Nate and Nora had never directly interacted with them. Nate happily followed her to the mess hall, looking around at all of the construction that was going on. They had really built the place up quite a bit while he'd been gone. Even as they were headed to the mess hall there was the faint sound of hammering coming from somewhere else in the settlement. Things were booming and it was because a wasteland economy was being set up. With the minutemen making the settlements safer people were able to come out of hiding and then when they made the roads safer trade started to happen at a much larger scale. It felt amazing to be a part of all of that. A bigger smile spread across his chiseled features as Nate sat down and Curie ran off to get their food. At first he hadn't known what to think about her rapid fire questions but now he found it quite endearing. When she returned with the deathclaw meat and the smell hit his nose, Nate suddenly realized just how hungry he'd been. Oh, Curie that smells incredible! He gushed as she set the plate in front of him. She always seemed to be waiting on him which left him feeling a little bad. Nate knew it was just a part of her personality or at least it seemed to be for now but it left him wanting to be just a little extra gentlemanly just to make up for it. Standing up for just a moment he sat back down as Curie did. You know...when you said you were going to speak to the chef I was a little amused but looking at this I think the guy has absolutely earned the title. Nate said, picking up his mismatched fork and knife from the table. They barely showed any signs of rust and had been polished up quite nicely. Before the war he might have considered them a bit sketchy but it was amazing how the apocalypse could change your opinion of what was fine and what was sketchy. Nate was still cutting up his meat when he glanced up at Curie, You were asking what I was up to while I was gone...I should show you. I found a radio signal from a vault. When I investigated I found an incomplete vault... Nate paused to start eating and groaned at the taste. The chef had done the meat just right so that the gamey quality was completely gone. Deathclaw could go tough and have a powerful aftertaste but what he was currently eating reminded him a great deal of pre-war beef. Had to clear it of feral ghouls, rad scorpions, it was a mess...but I found the original overseer...she'd become a ghoul as well. Nate ate quickly, a bad habit from the army that had resurfaced after his time with the Brotherhood. After a few more fork fulls he more or less finished his story. You should see it Curie. I think we can make it a place, a haven from the wasteland and the sheer amount of space...The overseer gave up, ran off when I wouldn't let her treat people like guinea pigs and I have total control of the place.
