It's been a minute; lots to catch up on!
The wasteland has been getting livelier lately and we've taken on two new legionaries.  Both were fresh out of one of the vaults and are a married couple.  Was kinda the usual pitch: flash some power armor and lasers and all of the newbies get excited and want their own.
But the 47th is definitely very happy to have Atomic_Candyman and Miss_Atomic_Candyman on board.
For some practical matters I've learned how to tweak and install some great enhancements to the T-60 armor.  Specifically, I can increased the leg strength drastically, I was able to install some enhanced optics into the helmets which makes targeting tangos way easier by highlighting them, and I found some cool armor plating that reflect certain types of damage.  Combine'em all and you've got some dope upgrades.
Dralzen kinda figured out the same thing for the excavator power armor so now the amount of crap we can lug around with them is preposterous but awesome.  No complaint there.
Unfortunately, Vexillarian Odin seems to have fallen off the grid.  Last sightings of him were out in the Savage Divide but we've had no radio communication for weeks now.  Pretty resilient guy, I'd be surprised if he was in any type of big danger, but I still worry.
Should hopefully get back to my normal schedule of journal entries.  
Uploaded a pic of a scorchbeast queen that was getting hit with a cryolater.  That was amazing and super effective.  Gonna have to keep my eyes peeled for one of those things.

Been helluva  few days!  
Got the T-60 power armor up and running which was been nice in the nuke zones since it's so much better at filtering out radiation.  T-51b is still superior in all  other aspects but still; nice to not get fried.
That being said, I'm still incomplete on my T-45d.  I'm close but not quite which is a damn shame; I love that armor.  I fought all the way through Alaska in it and then some.  It's where I feel at home.  Soon... I can feel it.
Now, the real news.  I managed to link up with both Optio Campbell and Vexillarian Dralzen.  This is fucking huge.  We have a significant part of our chain of command back together.  Word on the street is that Tesserarian Kolya is out there still.  He's the last piece to the puzzle...
So my work has taken to me a Free States bunker where I stumbled across some scorched detection network.  I guess the scorched beasts have a unique radiation signature that can actually be detected.  There's far more moving pieces than I initially understood.  This goes as far back to the Responders and then all of the way to the Brotherhood.  I think they were all working together and I'm pretty sure they were super close at getting this shit figured out.  I just don't know what ultimately happened to them.  I think if I keep pushing through what Abbie left behind I might be on to something.
We'll find out.  Like I said, helluva a few days but it's been so great finding those whom survived.  Just a few more to go...

Don't have a lot of time so keeping it short today.  
Got to take the T-51b out for a real test drive about five seconds after I finished repairs on it.  Fissure site prime got nuked and out came a scorchbeast queen, as always.  Goddam things are endless, it seems.

700 fusion cells, 12 rockets, 5 plasma grenades, and I don't even know how many .308 rounds later and she was dead.  Only two other wastelanders there with me.  Smallest group I've seen tackle a queen.
Got my C.A.M.P. structurally and essential complete.  Nice to have a real bed to sleep in again.  My tent wasn't bad but it just ain't the same.  Man, the view is really something.
Little trophy photo attached.
