Flathead County News: Safe Haven and Vault 35 Messages

Goooooood Morning, Flathead! This is Mirelurk Mike, coming in loud and proud this morning! I know you all are tired of me rambling on and on about how much I love eating them Mirelurks outta the lake, so I thought I'd tell ya somethin' exciting. I ate a Guai Steak today. Yeah, I'll that sink in for a minute. Who said that Ol' Mirelurk eats the same thing every day? I'm gonna start expanding my pallete folkf, I'm...ah, who am I kidding? Why eat anything other than that tender Mirelurk meat. OoooOOOoooh, that's the good stuff...

But...::AHEM::...moving on...

I got an important public service announcement for those of you who are thinking of going out, and those of you within range who have a radio and are coming in. The SteelPlate Society has reported that it has seen an increase in Raider activity outside the borders of our little Safe Haven. Ha! Get it? Title drop! ::AHEM::...but anyway, the buggers aren't coming any where near the county borders, naturally, for fear that the Steelmen will kick their heads in five times over if they do. But they're sticking around further off the outsides of the Force Field. In all directions. The Society estimates that they're looking to pick on Caravans coming in, and rob travellers coming out. The Society is sending out scouting parties to deal with the scroundrels, but so far they haven't found all their camps, nor their home base. But, as we're dealing the average raider here, the Queen has released a statement that they'll "be dealt with swiftly and painfully". Go get 'em, Steelies!

That having been said, if anyone has any information on the whereabouts of the homebase of these troublemakers, please tell the nearest available Steelman. If your information turns out to be of use, you will either get Caps or a shiny new Energy Weapon to play with! Just don't shoot your eyes out!

Till the Raiders are dealt with, just keep an eye out while traveling. Consider bringing your best bud, your best armor, your best gun, and your best game.

That's all for now, my good neighbors. Stay safe out there!

Good Morning, Flathead County! This is Mirelurk Mike coming atcha! Some of you have been complaining about me eating while broadcasting so I thought I'd give it a rest...for today. And today only....

Anyway, let's get straight into it, cause I actually got something real important to say. Like, real important stuff, folks. Important like, it's actually in your best interest to stop what you're doing and listen to me, cause it could save your life.

There have been multiple reports of Death Claw sightings on the South Western end of Flathead County's border. Scouting Steelmen have found a lotta dead bodies and wrecked Caravans. Now, that's already pretty damn bad, considering we rarely see them Claws around the County, but there's more. The Steelmen have also reported that there appear to be signs of a Deathclaw Nest somewhere nearby. I'll let that sink in....there is a nest of Deathclaws not far from our small circle of peace and quiet. A nest means that there's a momma Deathclaw, and what is commonly referred to as an alpha male Deathclaw...both of which are even more deadly than your common Deathclaw...which is already immensely lethal and hard to kill for the average human.

In light of this...well, here's something else...I told y'all this was gonna be important. Here...live with me now...is none other than our Queen, herself. Take it away, Ma'am.

Charmaine: Thank you,

Residents of Flathead County...I'm speaking to you directly to confirm what Mirelurk Mike just informed you of. Because of these sightings, I hereby closing the south and west gates to the city. Please understand that this is only a matter of keeping the County safe. There is, of course, no cause for alarm, my Steelmen are certainly more than capable of handling this issue...but, as many of you know, Deathclaws are not to be taken lightly. For those of you who have, by some extraordinary virtue, not seen a Claw, allow me to explain. The average Deathclaw, aside from being one of the largest predators in the Wasteland, is capable of ripping through all kinds of known armor, even power armor. As such, extreme precautions must be taken, and heavy weaponry must be procured. Rest assured that the SteelPlate Society is working to resolve this issue, so that the gates can be opened again. I, myself, will be personally overseeing the eradication efforts.

But, until then, for your own safety, I repeat that I am decreeing that the south and west gates be closed. And I strongly advise that Caravaners and travelers who need to go that direction, please wait until it is safe to do so.

Thank you.

Mirelurk Mike: Uh...quick question, Your Highness...

Charmaine: Of course.

Mirelurk Mike: Any chance of the NCR throwing in a few guns to help on this?

Charmaine: The NCR officials at Camp Crescent, for the sake of alerting their ilk whom are traveling here, have been made aware of the situation. At the present, that is all the involvement that I care to have from them or any other faction. Like I said, my Steelmen are certainly capable of dealing with this issue...but if, for some reason, the situation calls for it, then I will consider contacting our allies with the NCR and the Brotherhood of Steel.

Mirelurk Mike: Well, alright then...uh, thanks for coming on to the show! Can't believe you actually came! I didn't know she was coming, folks. Like, two minutes before I started this broadcast she shows up at my door. For a moment, I was about to shit my pants because I thought I was in deep...well, shit!

Charmaine: (Chuckles) Oh, no...nothing of the sort. Sorry for the fright, but I simply felt this was a matter I should have spoken about live.

Mirelurk Mike: Aww, it ain't nothing.

Well, anyway, that's all the news for today. Stay safe, Flathead!
