Mojave Wasteland - 2274

“The NCR wants to power cities. The Brotherhood wants to control the power. I just want it to mean something.”

The Mojave is full of ghosts.

Pre-war highways buried in sand. Cities hollowed by radiation. Machines built for a future that never came.

Scribe Clara Cade does not see ruins.

She sees potential.

Stationed at Helios One under the Mojave Chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel, Clara is one of the youngest energy specialists assigned to the solar facility. Where others see a strategic asset - a weapon, a bargaining chip, a fortress - she sees something else entirely.

Power.

Not the kind that burns cities.

The kind that lights them.

Raised within Brotherhood doctrine in California, Clara was taught that technology must be preserved, guarded, and controlled - lest humanity destroy itself again. She believes that.

But the Mojave has complicated her faith.

She has seen NCR troopers building infrastructure rather than just marching in formation. She has seen Freeside children living in the shadow of Mr. House's walls. She has walked the Strip and watched a city powered by old-world systems somehow hold chaos at bay.

Helios One could change everything.

It could power farms.

Purify water.

Stabilize settlements.

Or it could become the center of another war.

And in the middle of it all stands a 25-year-old scribe with grease-stained fingers and a head full of impossible calculations.

Clara is not a soldier. Not yet.

She is an idealist from a bunker full of pragmatists.

She believes technology should protect people.

The question is whether the Mojave will let her prove it.

Setting info:

Set in the Mojave Wasteland, in the Fallout universe, in the year 2274.

The New California Republic has taken over the Hoover Dam and signed the Treaty of New Vegas while Mr. House has renovated the New Vegas strip.

The Mojave Chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel has established its presense and is guarding Helios One. The Brotherhood itself is still at war with the NCR.

Ceasar's Legion has not yet reached the Mojave, but the Frumentarii are scouting ahead.

Howdy! This might be my 35th bot overall, but it's my first Fallout one!

It has been made for #TheFlop collab with my dear friends @TheNameless1 and @TheSenate, here are their bots:

1. The Flop: Dead Man's Hand by @TheNameless1

2. Cassidy Jones, The Flop: The Republic's Bet by @TheSenate

Make sure to check these out!

Since this is my first Fallout bot and I am not as knowledgeable with it as I am with Star Wars or Warhammer, let me know if there are inconsistencies or things to improve. I played all the main games but I only finished New Vegas, and that was many years ago.

Things are going better now for me, so expect the frequency of my releases to finally increase. The next bot will be a Star Wars bot, but this week I also plan to finally release a historical one that has been asked for long ago.

Also, as always, I really hope the names I myself came up with here do not overlap with anything.

Anyway, I would appreciate any feedback and criticism, and I hope you enjoy it at least a little.
