I was in Fort Hagen Satellite Array, and things were getting out of hand.  I'd been taking prisoners, and suddenly I couldn't turn around without tripping over Rust Devils. I fast traveled back to Sanctuary, figuring things might be better if I shed some loot and could at least move properly. It didn't help; I could hardly get near the workbenches for idling prisoners.

Clearly it was time to sell some Product.

So I thought I'd make a project of it. I set myself some rules:

1.  I'm going to walk from Sanctuary to Goodneighbour.  I can run if combat requires it, but not to move quickly.
2. I'm talking all my slaves with me, apart from those currently in breeding frames, working on farms, or on display as trophies.
3. Out of respect for basic Human Dignity, my slaves will be clothed. For the most part they will be given garments that identify their status as slaves and their sexual availability.
4. In order to keep order among the slaves, they will remain handcuffed at all times.
5. All slaves will be pregnant to demonstrate their fertility to buyers. Anyone interested in purchasing virgins would be well advised to look elsewhere.
6. Security for the mission will be provided by Ada.
7. If I encounter combat on they way, where possible I will take the females prisoner. New prisoners will be impregnated, cuffed and given suitable clothing in so far as is possible. In the event of a shortage of tank tops or handcuffs, all reasonable efforts will be made to find suitable items.
8. The journey will be via the roads where possible, and via settlements on the way. I may stop to do some settlement development on the way. Settlements with vacant breeding slots may be supplied from the Product. I will not be making new breeding slots just to reduce numbers. however.
9. As an FEV Vampire, I'm going to need to avoid direct sunlight. Power Armor will shield me from sun, as will Sun Cream, but I'll need to et out in order to feed. So I'll try and find indoor locations to rest over.
10. Whoever gets fed upon, gets fucked.

Before I set out, I might as well make sure I've got a  full tank, so to speak. Kneel down for me darling, would you?

Thank you, dear.

Yep, that hit the spot!

Let's look in at the Glasshouse before we set out.

That's the current crop. I should be on my second storey by now, but I've had a few forced restarts. Still, here we have three notorious troublemakers, suitable humbled and showing evidence of the use to which they have been put. I am not unhappy with this. Also I've been experimenting with three point lighting (kinda) for the girls. It does seem to make them stand out better.

Additionally, I have Vicar Amelia from Atomguard and Z2-47, the courser from Greentech Tower, rendered rather more to my taste by the Femme Fatale mod. She's the one in the hooker heels, ad the bathrobe that keeps falling open. (Getting that Courser Chip without killing her wasn't easy, but very much worth the effort). I won't be selling either of them in Goodneighbour, but a trip out in the open air will do them both good. (Technically, all that healthy fresh air and sunlight ought to burn Amelia to a crisp, but it doesn't seem to bother her for some reason. Must be some Elder Vampire shit that they don't teach to the newbies. Oh well, it makes my life easier, so why complain?)

In keeping with the rules, I did stop to do some building. Mainly I wanted a nice bright pool of light for the first shot. So to do that, I ran streetlight down Sanctuary Road, and then I needed somewhere high up enough for a spotlight. And I ended up making this:

I think I'll borrow a term from the ancient Martians and call this structure a Flower Of Wrath. And God help any raider foolish enough to approach.

Of course, by this point, I've spent pretty much the whole night fiddling and faffing on, and now that I'm finally ready to set out, the sun is about to come up. So much for preferring to travel at night, looks like the first leg will be in daylight. Time to round up the stragglers , and then get moving.

Tune in next time, and maybe I'll get as far as Concord!
