I think they should have headed to Megaton first, given Rarity's conditions. The young wannabe vampire could wait a day before getting home.

That'll be touched on in the next chapter, they aren't back yet!
nice update.
btw I look more into the pipboy a bit more turn out its lore is what I say before there so many models made by the same company that they all look like there own system.
the pipboy 3000s was going to be made for the Van game that never got done and made call the lil pip 3000 but when the makers of the Fallout games of today they use that idea to make the wristband computer pip boys we see now in their games.
also to note the makers of fallout like how the fandom made their own pipboys with lore friendly to it as well.... so go nuts basically
9051440
Interesting. I think I'll have a little play with that then, give the girls their own unique pip-boys. Thanks for that.
9051444
ya as long its not like them having a smartphone then its aok. btw fun fact today nasa is putting huge amount of money to bring back the vacuum tech for our spaceships because the sun is a bicth to us when it come to using our tech in space.
the lil pipboy come the lore is the worst model ever made given how easy it was to broke down and more but in turn made it super easy to repair.
here a few pics of fanmade and rules ones

also btw true fact the reason in the DLC with that war sim why they needed a pipboy was that their army was too big for the sim.
see the power armor is one huge pipboy system as well but given how huge the armor itself is its a problem and also i don't think the os of the power armor have a older version of the os as well given power was made for the last battle of the war
Nicely done. I was wondering how long they could maintain a pacifist run.
9051503
I have something special planned for the Operation Anchorage chapters involving the Lone Wanderer, Fawkes, a dodgy AI and some really random magic!
9051509
Thanks! Honestly I was worried people were going to be annoyed that the girls didn't last longer without offing someone, but I felt that it was either that or kill one of them off, and it's a bit too soon for that...

Piece of advice for you Fallout Shelter game, raise you dwellers Endurance as soon as possible. The higher their Endurance at lowers levels they have, the more HP they gain as they level up. Also I'm pretty sure that if their Endurance is maxed at 10, Endurance boosting clothing will further increase their HP gains beyond what just have Endurance 10 allows.
I freaking love this story.
It's true to both worlds and doesn't come off as overbearing or trying.
Best fallout EqG on Fim.
9051537
Wow, I can honestly say that is praise I never expected to see, and I cannot thank you enough for it! I hope I can keep this story up to your expectations!
9051510
cool.
but ya can't wait to see how they build their pipboys, like I say before don't go nuts make something that fit them and somewhat that world.
given they have twilight that can build things that won't be a problem
9024294
Oh yeah, what will happen when the girls discover the evils of Dunwich, Blackhall's book, and the Krivbeknih.
Actually will they find the Dunwich Building before going to Point Lookout or will they seek it out only after they learn about the Book and the Krivbeknih?
9051538
what i mean don't nuts by just don't make it look like a boring smartphone
9051539
Don't worry, I'm going to have a good think about that for a while to make sure I come up with something suitable for each of them.
9051541
THAT is going to be a whole story arc on it's own, one that I have spent a great deal of time planning and working out details of. It is going to have a massive effect on both the girls' friendships, their relationships with the other wastelanders and the story as a whole. If you're up for a teaser, the dark magic is going to lead to the dark side of a certain character (I won't say who) making a certain, reappearance...
9051544
No smartphones! I'm thinking something along the lines of little upgrades and mods that are tailored to each girls individual tastes and proclivities.
9051564
i just hate today smartphone so much so far the only few that want to stand out is blackberry and ZTE with there duel sceen.
but they all look the same today.
i remember as a pre teen and teen cell phones used to be so different from each other its like trying to buy a car back then hell even today cars follow this make them all boring as hell.
9051515
This implies that killing one of them off may happen in the future 😟
9052095
It may happen, or it may not
9052577
So the question is if one of them must die who would it be?
9052664
Now now that would be telling
9052894
oh, I almost forgot to tell you this Fallout history is base on the 50 and 60s computers in a basic way that go for coding as well.
The only coding language they would have used is
BASIC
Fortran
Machine code
so if you going to make twilight do something like new UIs and all that Twilight would have to laern how to use those coding language of its times. Fun fact people still use those to this day given how simple they are to use and how complex they can get
9053780
I knew they were using fifties style tech, but I didn't know what coding languages were used so thanks for that.
As for Twilight, she already knows them. Aside from her obvious ability with modern coding (programming robots, hacking a phone etc), back in vault 101 she was trained as a systems programmer (it's mentioned in passing in chapter 5). So she has the knowledge and the skill, all she needs is the time.
9053804
this, in fact, gives her a skill that no one has of this world...... the knowledge of more powerful coding languages.
See those 3 only 1 of them was made things to be easy to learn aka BASIC, those other too are powerful of there time but so complex that it will take a good long year or half a year to learn to know the basic of it. but BASIC anyone can take a good long look and know the in and outs of it just fine. C was not made until the 70s
to put it like this, she basically has a musket vs an old world army that still use a bow and arrow
I've massively enjoyed what I've seen so far and most criticisms I could think of have probably been said thus far. I do have some things I would like to see though-
1. In the game, you had the option of asking Vince to show you 'the way of the vampire' giving you a minor perk to recover more health with blood packs. I actually would have like to see him, or maybe even Ian out of gratitude, offer to teach Fluttershy because of something he sensed in her and see her magic react making her able to pony up with Flutterbat attributes. Maybe have some actual vampiric qualities, better physical abilities and senses, and maybe a bit of aggression to give her an edge.
2. While animal perk doesn't typically affect Deathclaws, some games indicate a few occasions where Deathclaws can be tamed and/or kind of reasoned with. I'd love to see Fluttershy tame/befriend a few Deathclaws and see them give her a bit of help with some of the Wasteland dangers. See how tough enclave or Paradise Falls slavers think they are facing down a few dozen of those beasties.
3. After having done enough of these favors, like in the game, I'd like to see Megaton pull the stick out of their collective butts and give them the Megaton house (maybe with the wastelander theme). That way, they could have an HQ to make decisions, rest, and stockpile some weapons.
4. We've already seen the girls display some skills that seem to match with some perks (computer expert, medic, animal friend, etc.) but could we see some of the more exotic perks as well as any mission they might normally be associated with play a part here and get applied to a few of the girls? Some I'd like to see would be cyborg(pretty please. Definitely better than killing one of them IMHO.), gunslinger, gun nut, barkskin, wired reflexes, finesse, iron fist and/or paralyzing palm, demolitions expert, lawbringer (would love to see them meet and work with some of the regulators), mysterious stranger, ninja, and nerd rage.
5. Would like to see Sheriff Simons warm up enough to give them a little training and a few pointers, maybe even be the one to talk Sunset and the rest through their first blood incident with some comfort and advice.
6. Would love to see them go through the Anchorage and Mother Ship Zeta DLCs to get a bit of an edge via weapon and skill additions. Especially the latter as they could be empathizing with the little girl on being stuck in a world not their own and get mentoring from the military medic, wastelander, samurai (Somehow. Maybe SciTwi knows some Japanese?), and the cowboy.
7. Big Trouble in Big Town. This would be a great way to show how they have grown, yet managed to keep some of their innocence and strength in friendship as they help and/or teach the townsfolk defend themselves.
And finally. Last, but certainly most important need-to-see on this list
8. The Moira Brown wasteland survival guide. We definitely desperately absolutely need to see this!!! Not only was it one of the most fun chain of missions in the game, but it would be absolutely perfect for the girls. Working together, working/reacting with the Crazy/cheerful Moira, learning new skills, and seeing later random NPCs thanking them for the work that helped better their lives. Please make this last one happen!!
9055047
Wow, that is a lot of points, so it's only fair that I answer each of them!
1. Vance. I decided against having him teach any of the girls the ways of the vampire for now, but this is far from the last we've seen of the Family. Will flutterbat be involved? Maybe...
2. Deathclaws have popped up in comments a few times now. To be honest I can't decide whether to throw in a random one first or whether I should wait until the girls are forced to visit Old Olney...
3. Megaton is going to be an interesting (I hope!) little side story running in the background of this fic. After the next chapter the girls aregoing to get a temporary headquarters of sorts, but I don't think it'll be what people are expecting! Look forward to Rainbow Dash doing what she does best!
4. I have a few little bits planned for ways to incorporate certain perks, mostly based around their magic. Giving one or more of the girls cybernetics is still up in the air at the moment, but I definitely haven't ruled it out! The mysterious stranger is going to pop up, and I may even give him a little bit of focus (but don't expect any actual backstory or anything for him, just more mysteries). The regulators are definitely getting involved at some point, and you may see a familiar, but unexpected, face in among them.
5. There are going to be a couple of people helping the girls get through the events of first blood, but Sheriff Simms isn't actually going to be one of them! Don't worry though, he still has a part to play in this story (especially as according to the lore he's actually a regulator).
6. Operation Anchorage I've mentioned in a previous comment, but yes it's being done. Specifically it's going to involve the girls, the Lone Wanderer, Fawkes, a dodgy AI and some random magic! As for Mothership Zeta...
7. Big trouble in big town... I honestly haven't really planned that one out yet. I have a few small ideas, but I want to do something special.
8. The Wasteland Survival Guide is an essential part of any Fallout 3 fic! Once the girls have worked their way through the main quest line and broken steel, that us going to be the very next story arc. And they will be completing it alongside the Lone Wanderer.
That should answer a few of your hopes! Glad you're enjoying the story and I hope I can keep it up to the standards you look forward to!
9055296
i told you basically everything of the pip-boy but here's a fun fact for the hack of it to share.
in fallout 4 when you go to that guy who got a food canning thing working the Vault trader there when you go out and talk to her she like the pip-boy model saying "my was garbage as i toss it out"
If you know fallout lore of its older games and all you know in the cancel Van Buren it's an easter egg reference to the Lil Pip-Boy 3000 the worst model of all the pip boys of its lore. given it can't do much of anything can't play date tapes unless you use a external tool and more and broke down all the time and need to fix all the time
9055296
Point 1. Fingers crossed!
On points 2-5. YAAY!
Point 6. YAAY!….and yet, so. much. troll.
point 7. Looking forward to how you use it.
and point 8. Hmmm. I'm actually a bit torn on this. On the one hand, it feels like after main line and especially broken steel added is a little too late game for the Moira event. After all, it is a really good way for them to learn new skills and get accustomed to the wasteland early on as they help others. On the other, I could see this as sort of a personal mission they set for themselves later on after becoming hardened enough to make a difference but hit a snag such as a delay or *gasp* failure to find a way back home. Still...You've handled the storytelling really well so far, so I don't doubt you'll do well with it either way.
9053804
9053780
Well, it's true that these were based on 50s and 60s, but you also have to remember that these codes were used to operate primitive computers around the time that were either a) big enough to fill several rooms but only do a few simple commands or b) only very recently leaving those models rather than something that a could fit on your wrist. Now I will be the first to admit that I am no expert on programming code, but isn't part of its evolution resulting from having to adapt to the new hardware and the increase in reaction speeds and memory that comes with it?
That said, fallout series does have a history of playing fast and loose with AU and connection to real life. For example, anyone who looks up the iconic locations, or even visited DC, would know that a lot of their placements on the map are inconsistent with real life. It probably wouldn't be too much of a stretch to think that the code they use would resemble more of a hybrid of older and modern code than actually matching either one. In fact, I could imagine seeing Twilight, who might have studied both as a hobby in their home dimension, freaking out because of observing that very issue. <WHAT!?! But...this...this doesn't make sense!! This technology looks to be based on the 50s and 60s but this coding looks a little like ours! Or would traditional coding even work on any of this!?! And then there is the fact the incorporate nuclear power into everything! ARRRGH! DARN THIS WORLD AND ITS ANACHRONISTIC CONCEPTS!!>
9055910
that would be true but for one problem the fact is human to tend to bet things even when they're dead (just look at Skyrim and you know what I mean)
the 3 I told are the 1st and oldest coding language of there time and was used for lots of things.
for one Basic as well... Basic can get was use from the 60s all the way to the mid-90s because people found that using this coding language would still work but to type it all down would take a long time to do, to put it like this if you make a game of pong with basic vs say C or anything newer of today, Basic would take you about a good 300 lines of code but today code it will only take you about 30 at most
Fortran was used for a good time too but it was a bicth to use and was very temperamental at times but it comes before basic and was used to help a man get to the moon, but when better things come along as it rarely use for anything any more and it was dropped by mainstream use in the 70s.
there this other coding language...... it name was Cobol, it is the worst kind of code you can learn sure it was the 1st real coding language but it only made things a tiny bit easy, if you would walk up and to ask a guy from the 50s or 60s they would tell you how bad of a coding language.
The only people that still use it are mostly based on business transaction software that makes 80% of the market, the only reason why is that like all business people to make a profit you use the cheapest tool you have if they could move to a new better one they would but business want backward compatibility so they are force to use a coding language that is a bicth to work with.
to put it like this is like asking me to fight a bandit with a pellet gun.
9055899
Tempted to throw a Lil Pip-Boy in now, just so Twilight can be infuriated trying to improve it!
9055910
I admit having it after broken steel does seem a little late-game, but I have a very simple reason for that. After the girls leave Megaton to chase the Lone Wanderer, they aren't going to have much of a chance to go back until after the main quest-line is finished. At the moment the girls are focused on finding James (and the Lone Wanderer), but they both have a ridiculous head start on them.
9055961
Twilight trying to fix it to make it better..... that would be fun to see it be seeing someone trying to make a YUGO cool
ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/wm/live/1280_720/images/live/p0/39/61/p03961n3.jpg
but all in all, it was the model that pushes the pip-boy to help make a better model from learning the mistake and learning from the upside of it, as it was the first model to use integrated circuits and use LED tech for its screen (still green)
but the downside was it use vacuum tube CPU that use one that easily breaks and needs replacing all the time and was very very fragile, unlike its bigger brothers that can take on a nuke.
You can say it was the iPhone 6 of its time.
9055961
also just read up more the game was basically 70% done and now I see why this was a fail for the company of the maker of the pip-boy.
vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/a/a5/Fo3_Lil-Pip_3000.png/revision/latest?cb=20090709125242
from that alone, the Lil Pip-boy would have cost so much money from having two LED screens and having an integrated circuits board. so ya like a dumb iPhone 6
9055961
i could PM you to tell you what would be inside and the tech behide the pipboy.
i don't want to do it here given it will be a huge wall of text
9057117
Sounds good to me if you don't mind. I only know a little bit about old tech (and a very VERY little bit about coding), and admittedly most of what I know about the Fallout universe comes from Fallout 3 and Fallout Tactics (which wasn't exactly canon) so any help I can get on that front would be much appreciated, don't go out of your way for it though.
9057752
a side note you cna put fallout 4 weapons in this if you like the pipe rifle is in fact date back all the way to Fallout 2 call the zip-gun
it was removed from the game as it was made for as a starter weapon but test player show the players will sell it right off the bat for a 10mm pistol or a 9mm Mauser handgun
9045910
Scratch that, yes. Yes there will be. It'll be a while yet, but there will be at least 2 scenes of the variety you are looking for. One of those will be right at the end of the fic (possibly the epilogue) but the other will be a lot sooner. The scenes will likely be implied, but I may actually write out the scenes depending on demand and, frankly, how well I manage to write them, as I've never actually written a scene like that before!
9078236
well good like to you dude
9055296
Jesus Christ, your replies to the points just made me for excited, goddamnit.
I can think of the perfect HQ for the main 7; The Citadel!
I'm excited for three parts in this story, mainly: Hoping the next chapter would involve the girls crying their eyes out. And how we would see the Lone Wanderer/Adam in the story, finally!
I was kinda expecting his appearance to be a cliffhanger, then cue a chapter of what kind of hell happened to him. Including flashbacks to the Vault.
And the third: What would happen when James die? How the girls would react and so will Adam?
9055296
FUCKING
9113440
I... have no idea how to take that...?
9107398
The Citadel? But that's a space station.
9180470
Yeah, and it might have some crazy terraforming technology so that they can restore Earth to its proper glory!
Well that's a way to have your first human kill. Might be from a different wasteland but all I can say for Sunset is this:
"Welcome to hell sunshine." ~Buzzo, Lisa: The Joyful
This is the part where I favorite this story and remember when Fallout/mlp Fanfics are some of the best fanfics, when they are updates, RIP all those other fics that havent been updated in 6 years or cancelled
10161112
I'm glad you're enjoying it! I try to update it every two weeks, and since this is my main fic (and, if all goes well, the first in quite an ambitious series) I have absolutely no intention of abandoning this story until it has reached its full conclusion.
Rainbow, Symapathic? what kinda backwards universe is this?
9052577
It better not!
I really hope they loot the corpses and take the rifle
10996896
We wanna think like fallout but do you think a bunch of high school girls are gonna do that?
