Session 4: The Two Wanderers
General Summary
The session began after Kenny and Gerrek had slept in the secured building with the refugees. Upon waking, Gerrek was recalled by Ranger Chief Akira for a new mission. Left alone, Kenny forged ahead on the path laid before him, seeking to continue the investigation. He walked west through the ruins of Boston, where he was attacked by a super-mutant hound master. As he fought the master and his hound in the street, a massive stranger in heavy armor charged towards the battle, helping Kenny dispatch the attackers. After the battle, the two wastelanders cautiously introduced themselves; the stranger's name was Jason, and he had come to the land in search of research he needed. Kenny was headed to the Commonwealth National Laboratory, which Jason thought might have what he needed. They decided to head there together.
They headed north, walking along the Charles River, past Diamond City. They met a group of Crimson Hand mobsters guarding the bridge that connects Diamond City to the north. They intimidated the guards and stopped to rest at Hangman's Alley, the small town outside Diamond City that services travelers. They visited an upscale bar, where Jason ordered chocolate milk and Kenny a Nuka Cola. Looking around the bar, they noticed a strangely well-maintained robot waiter, whom Jason attempted to hack. He failed and was admonished by the robot, who then left. In the corner of the bar, they saw another group of mobsters speaking to an annoyed, serious-looking woman. Kenny approached the man under a false identity; the man, Tony, took a liking to Kenny and asked him for help. The woman represented a small group of proficient researchers whom The Crimson Hand wished to recruit. Tony asked Kenny to secure them and help them escape from Spectacle Island, where the Minutemen dumped their enemies.
Kenny accepted this task, and the two continued to the trade hub of Oberland Station, where they boarded a train heading northbound. As they traveled north, the Commonwealth's first snow of the winter began to fall.
The party arrived at the bustling manufacturing hub of Starlight, where they stayed the night at the Union Lodge. In the middle of the night, the players were awoken by a strange tentacle attempting to pull them into the sewers through the toilet. After severing the tentacle, the players took a sample and made haste to their destination, the national laboratory.
At the lab, they met an eccentric scientist who appeared to be under the influence of some sort of drug. He was in charge of the logistics department of the lab and informed them about the shipments that had gone missing from the robotic caravans they had sent out. The players investigated and discovered a band of mercenaries in red hacking the robotic guards and cargo handlers. The mercenaries were stealing high-value robotic and computer parts. As the players intervened, one of the mercenaries, wanting a bigger cut of the parts, got into a heated argument with the rest. This escalated into a full betrayal as he saw an opportunity to strike when the players attacked. The players and the turncoat eliminated the mercenaries and secured the area.
