DuSable Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Had an idea the other day and after thinking about it fleshed the concept out. In the lab where the Stealth Suit Mk II was developed there are a fair number of deconstructed Chinese Stealth Suits laying about. It has been suggested these were captured at Anchorage and sent to beig MT for reverse-engineering. Now let's suppose that one of the soldiers sent with this suit was one Sargent Richard 'Richie' Marcus. An accident happens where 'Richie' is apparently killed and the rest of his squad heads back to active duty, unaware that Dr Borous has plans for his old high school nemesis. Putting marcus' brain in a jar he has a machine that creates 'Remote Combat Soldiers', Half Human and Half Machine bodies ( possibly made using the X-8 splicing facility terminal ) who are operated by disembodied brains through a series of cranial-imbedded tesla coils. (Sound familliar, Courier?) Also another Companion is a former U.S. Senator. One Betsy Bright, who at the time of the war had been trying to shut down wasteful spending and resource management into unethical and questionable projects. She had been on her way to Hopeville when she literally vanished off the face of the earth. ...and into a brain jar at Big MT. All one would have to do is Find their jars and the holotapes next to them. Input the holotapes into the X-8 splicing facility terminal, and out pops a Remote Combat Soldier. While they can get "Combat armor, reinforced" (just cause it looks cooler) from a dispensor on the wall, you have to supply them with weaponry. They act and react like normal companions, except if they die you can loot the bodies and have to go and make a new one at X-8. If you take them through the High School Horror simulation they will react to their 'Records' as being exaggerated If you take Richie into the presence of Gabe he should shriek "Oh God! Not that dog AGAIN!" Quest Concept, Free your Minds: While you cannot put their brains back into their bodies (or any new ones) with the right skills and the discovery of the correct terminals you can disable the 'system Slave' subroutines that keep them anchored to being soldierd forced to die over and over again. You can alternitively cut the Life support to their tanks and allow them to finally have peace at last. ...then again you could also 'slave' them to you and take them back with you to New Vegas. What do you think? Anyone willign to take up the challange of making a mod like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
