I think it isn´t even that unlogical that all the people working on the fans seem to have died immediately, since when the nuke hit, an incredible amount radiation was released into the air, which was then carried to all the fans, meaning that all people near fans would have been the first to be hit with radiation, and probably even with the highest amount of it, since it would have worn off pretty quickly. And if anyone is now thinking: But they were expecting a nuke, so they would have been using filters, wouldn´they? Yes, and no! First of all, there is basically no filter that could handle such amounts of radiation. And second: the air-system was still under construction, meaning that they might no have been built in, or activated at the point of time.
Orrrr, at vid time 10:50 (ish) Apple walks past what appears to be some sort of main gas valve right next to what also looks like a main fan. This could explain why all of the bases personnel died also! But your theory makes a lot more sense man.
5:38 thenthapple, I guess you are too young to know a Microfiche machine when you see one. It was a way of archiving paperwork and books before we had microprocessors. It's basically just a plastic transparency with a tiny miniture photo of the pages, and those machines are the viewers.
I believe that the turrets were set up by Kellogg as, when you go to the fort before you have unlocked the quest to hunt him down, none of them are present. The syths still are, however, and the lift in the central area is borded up. However, the turrests are all connected up to the door terminal by the lift out, so... who knows? Kellogg may know his shit, but he didn't strike me as much of an electrical engineer to be able to wire up multiple turrets to a single command console
Possible, yes. And I suppose it does stand to reason that, if you ignore the game mechanics, he could have removed the boarded up lift, gone down to the control room, then up to the roof that way in order to set up new turrets
The main character shows no experience in electrical engineering before his military career yet he is able to set up turrets and connect them to terminals.
Someone may have said already, but my guess is that the fans piped radiation into the lower levels. Because maintenance was incomplete they were unable to shut them down. This would explain the dead in the lower areas that should have survived the blast but clearly did not.
I have an idea! Do a "Legend of" for all the Pulowski preservation centers. A lot of them have really interesting stories that you could talk about. Did they work? Did people Survive? There are a couple with bodies in them that you could talk about.
People say Bethesda doesn't write proper stories but they fail to actually explore the locations in the games. THAT is how you find the stories and lore. They just want everything handed to them. Lazy.
The bunker doesn’t seem to be a place made to work as a vault. It wouldn’t necessarily protect them from an atomic attack. And, as you pointed out, there is a particular amount of vents with dead bodies close to them. That’s not something that is showcased so explicitly in other places, so it could be a hint to what happened. My guess is that most people downstairs died at the immediately after blast due to severe radiation poisoning.
You are definitely I need of my favorite TH-camrs that do things for fallout stuff. I love the constant references to plungers. I was watching from the beginning. Cheers!
I know I'm years late on the comment, but one of the machines is an old microfiche reader. Microfiche - a flat piece of film containing microphotographs of the pages of a newspaper, catalog, or other document. You diuretic put dozens upon dozens of documents onto a single page. Computer hard drive storage rendered these items obsolete.
Considering the depth of the command center, the fans probably circulated air below the surface and when the bombs hit fallout was likely brought into the bunker exposing them to radiation.
I've never noticed this until now, but on the map of the world hanging up in the command center where you kill Kellogg, at about 12:19 or so, Africa is really smushed into Europe. The Mediterranean Sea that sit between Africa and Europe is gone, and there's no sign of the Red Sea either. Makes me wonder what the heck happened to that part of the world. Someone had to consciously create that asset, so I wonder what the reasoning behind it is. (I know this video is old now but I'm just noticing this after rewatching it.)
I think those devices that you were looking at 5:38 are Microfilm readers, they look very similar and it would make viewing microfilm from aerial recon easier. The room was probably a location for intelligence officers to view recon photographs and the area could have been a Operations room for monitoring the battlefield and planning operations.
microfilm is also much more resiliant than paper or computers and can be read with a magnifying glass if need be, explaining it's widespread use outside the military in the Fallout universe.
The ting you said was a holotape recorder, looked like a camera. i have them set up around my settlements to watch my people work. They dont work, they die. The NCR ALWAYS knows under Colonel Eric Bradford.
I have been waiting for another one of these :) Thank you sir. ^^ Ah.. Fort Hagen... I truly enjoyed destroying the synths, and Kellogg. xD Hmm, yeah, I am also confused over the bodies within the bunker. At first, I thought that it might have been radiation that have seeped into the base, but there are no ghouls. I also thought that there might have been some sort fighting going on inside the base, since it would have been a prime loot spot like the nearby Boston Mayoral Shelter, but the armory is still full of weapons....
Their was obviously a malfunction with the external fans vents not closing , or fans not turning off. eradiated dust was then sucked through the ventilation system flushing the entire fort with highly contaminated dust.
on my first playthrough i wondered there randomly and it was the first time i saw synths in game which creeped the fuck out of me. also booze and the militiary go hand in hand i would know.
The radiation that came after the bombs hit can explain some of the deaths in the facility, especially the maintenance workers near the vent shafts, problem dying to radiation poisoning trying to fix the shafts to help the facility survive.
I usually go to sleep listening to these as your voice is pretty sweet, But when I wake up in the middle of the night to that holo-tape from West Everett Estates, or the ones from Fiddler's Green it always scare the Sh*t out of me.
those strange machines you were talking about are not newspaper readers if you noticed the little part sticking down in the open gap it would reveal that it was a machine to make dog tags.
The machines you wanted to know about look to be either film or micro-fiche reader machines. (my guess is micro-fiche) Basically before good cheap scanners and affordable large storage devices they would take photographs of important documents then put them on film or transparent plastic sheets called micro-fiche. You would put the flimsy plastic slide in a tray with a powerful back light and several lenses and mirrors would project the document image onto the screen, and you would use controls to move the tray to the page you wanted to view. Oddly enough, some large libraries still have these monsters and use them for records they haven't got scanned into their servers yet. My Mom worked for the state of Florida and they were still using them in the late 70's and I think even in the early 80's. I think on this model you push buttons to find the page you want.
the fan's distribute air from the outside, so they also distribute radiation through the whole building. Its never explained why some peoploe survived the nukes, but still thease suckers got rekt by the radiation of the initial blast.
I always assumed the men who died by the vents died from sucking in radioactive air. like the vents are bringing air in from the surface and obivously filtering it but eventually the filters clogged and someone had to unclog them and due to the lack luster fasilities the men who were on mentance eventually died from exposure to radiation from the radioactive dirt that would be on the filters and in the vents
I'm going to guess what happened to anyone working on the fans is when the EMP hit it most likely caused a massive power serge to a system that was not properly grounded in the first place
This is a map from 2016 in a game that plays in 2277 and history divided 1950 or so. I am not sure about the Fallout year because I played Fallout 4 more than half a year ago.
Looks to me like they didn't think through the map at all. Just got a real map and added it. Surely China would look different, after all it probably swallowed up Mongolia and other neighbours before it invaded Alaska.
5:47 Perhaps the soldier was just going underground during the blast, and he managed to stumble that far before succumbing to radiation. That or radioactive fallout came in through the vent one level down and well, same deal.
Yeah I've actually seen machines like that at my public library archives. Someone was using them to look at a microfilm tape roll which appeared to be a record of old birth certificates. It would make sense to find them in a military outpost.
Keep up the awesome uploads! I seriously decided today after over walking with my sprained ankle yesterday with a crutch I'm staying inside all day with my foot propped up & an icepack around my foot & ankle area cause it's all swollen to hell & back. Seeing my alert to a new upload from you has made my boring day awesome though!:D
It's not one of those bad sprains or anything & for the most part it's actually fine now. The only problem I'm having atm is the tendons are still tender & a pop here & there when I'm walking. As I said....I'm bullheaded.....I wouldn't of even gotten it looked at if my grandmother hadn't seen it swollen & forced me to see the doctors about it.....Loose a dang gallbladder & now everything is a serious injury=.=
+thenthapple I thought so. Now if the tendons would stop being tender I'd be good. Also thank you for being concerned.....Only person who is typically concerned for me is my grandmother....She takes it over the top=.=
The protectrion I had was a legendary one, it got quite far without dying, and because it was a legendary one. I killed it, and it fucking scared the shit out of me by blowing up like a Sentry bot or mini nuke. And on the map, did you notice that the Mediterranean is non-existent ? It's considered land.
The air circulation system was not finished, or needed repair. It is reasonable to suspect that whatever air purifying device was supposed to cleanse the air, was not functional. When the blast hit the vents flooded the building with radiation.
The damage is reminiscent of a how a bunker buster missile works by using the strength of a structure against itself to maintain the force of an explosion so it travels down corridors and vents looking for a way to expel the massive overpressure. A nearby nuclear explosion would have created that same pressure wave and killed most of the people inside without a blast door to get in its way and any survivors would have died of radiation poisoning within a few days giving them time to get into some of the more unusual final positions.
Machines at 5:40 - I only know this because I'm gen X, those are microfiche machines, which we had to use to scan old periodicals on film before the Internet.
You got it right on the nose, those are supposed to be microfiche machines, or their (pre-war) modern equivalent. Doesn't look like they advanced very much in terms of the technology. Judging by how new the transistor was in the Fallout universe, it's likely that those were necessities in any office around the war; it'd take a while to transfer all physical data to holotapes, and with what Fort Hagen's mission (probably) was, there wasn't really time for that luxury.
TheNthApple, I began work for the US DoD during the early 90's, at that time it was not unusual to have 'many' refrigerators scattered throughout the building that were stocked with beer and wine. It was never consumed during core work hours but after that the offices would fill with cigarette smoke and much adult beverage consumption. The machines at 5:40 seconds you were asking about are microfiche readers. These were still in use up until the late 90's. I've seen facilities something like what is in the video, many have a small dispensary for a medical staff and to treat minor injuries, and do routine health checks like blood pressure, treat headaches, etc. Some facilities have bunk rooms for 24 hour staff & security including showers and workout rooms. The makers of fallout like stairs and showing broken floors etc, it makes it more visually interesting, The underground facilities I've seen are extremely well built and can withstand a near hit from a medium nuclear blast. As for the ongoing work, virtually every place I've been in has had some type of ongoing work to fix/improve/update something. That sort of maintenance never ends. I am not sure how the military operates in the UK but from with I've heard it is a much smaller scale but much the same.
Just from comparing the location in the game to what I've seen in the real world, the medical facility is about right, although the architecture is nonsensical - it makes for fun game play, up down, narrow halls, etc, but it does not work in the real world.
I don't know if you'll read this. And someone may have already said this. But the renegade that is referred to by Kellogg is not the player, rather it is Virgil the escaped scientist.
Looks like they were still working on the HVAC system and was not yet cut off from the outside or upper floors. That would explain how the people on the lower levels died.
you should do one on just those creepy ass heads. they're in unite united few places and I'm beginning to wonder if there are any possible ties between them
you should do a video on the buildings behind fort hagen that housed military family and near there and near the sat array is a place with a broke down tank where some drunk soldiers got it stuck and there is a note there to and near that is a place where they played the war games because there is a lot of trenches and a dead guy in a apc putting out mines for the war games
Hey Thenthapple The machines that you wanted to know what they are at 5:45 are Microfilm Viewers They were very common use (not nowadays) for military and government facilities for mass record storage So places like library of congress and the national archives still use them because most of the ww2, 50s, and 60, records were produced in microfilm format have not been thoroughly digitized
My explanation for why there are so many dead near vents is that the blast sent energy or a huge gust of wind through the shafts, knocking many of them over and breaking their necks.
The desk that skeleton was sitting at, Piper just pushed it to the side and took a seat. Yep, just chillin there sharing a seat with a slumped over skeleton.
You should role play as a detective with nick in your videos, it would work perfectly with how you like to do your videos and it would make your videos a lot more interesting, just my opinion
Hey Apple, you know that roach anomly storm i told you about? Turns it occurs everywhere in the game, also if you go to Markers Marina. I experienced a Barrel water movement when i was swimming, however at first i thought " Wait a min, it could've been just me swimming but this had been going for more than 20 mins and kept going up and down so their's definitely something in the water. However though i found some the places you discovered in the game, I can't get into the church so i dk where the key so my posting me a video link to your witchcraft church, also I found the crazy ass ayslum where the mercenaries are, and last but not least. How the hell did i suddenly become an enemy of the atom? Is the atom a Enemy of the brotherhood of steel?
People have already said this but yeah the vents were likely faulty and some sort of toxic air or radiation was trapped in the fort, but its surprising empty its not like the Chinese were in Boston. Also you'd think they would put in better flooring.
You mentioned “roof access, and building proper” for some reason i just started thinking, well in our pre-apocalyptic world we dont use roof access to enter a building proper from the outside of fort hagen you find the front door its barricaded sure however i dont think i have ever been able to find the front door of the building from the inside of the building 🤔
![กี่หมื่นฟ้า | Your Sky Series EP.1 [1/4]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vLGjxFL6U_I/mqdefault.jpg)
Let it be known, vents are going on the list!!!! As always, feedback and suggestions are appreciated :)
Wow ao early nice video btw
In the near future will you do something with Dishonored and or Bioshock?
its my birthday
I'm just saying but you deserve more subscribers than you already have, my opinion
FINALY! another the legend of video
I think it isn´t even that unlogical that all the people working on the fans seem to have died immediately, since when the nuke hit, an incredible amount radiation was released into the air, which was then carried to all the fans, meaning that all people near fans would have been the first to be hit with radiation, and probably even with the highest amount of it, since it would have worn off pretty quickly.

yes and no?
Orrrr, at vid time 10:50 (ish) Apple walks past what appears to be some sort of main gas valve right next to what also looks like a main fan. This could explain why all of the bases personnel died also!
But your theory makes a lot more sense man.
Ido t think hats how radar in works
Michael Gregory yeah, well, with that I mean, that it might not have even mattered whether a filtration-system was already built in
yeah this seems like the right answer
5:38 thenthapple, I guess you are too young to know a Microfiche machine when you see one. It was a way of archiving paperwork and books before we had microprocessors. It's basically just a plastic transparency with a tiny miniture photo of the pages, and those machines are the viewers.
Can you do legend of the prydwen and add some history on the brotherhood of steel
such a great idea
+A Kid In Africa every 60 seconds one minute passes in Africa
+Skrillvoker Skrillvoker wow such knowledge
+Skrillvoker Skrillvoker I heard humans breathe.
Just ask dense and he'll tell you after a while

Mind you he did have an augmented brain. They could have given the information to do that at the Institute.
Possible, yes. And I suppose it does stand to reason that, if you ignore the game mechanics, he could have removed the boarded up lift, gone down to the control room, then up to the roof that way in order to set up new turrets
The main character shows no experience in electrical engineering before his military career yet he is able to set up turrets and connect them to terminals.
dccrulez You can argue that finding Tesla Science Magazines and Robot Science mags would give the player enough smarts to set up turrets.
Drink in a military base or at work is VERRRY common
Someone may have said already, but my guess is that the fans piped radiation into the lower levels. Because maintenance was incomplete they were unable to shut them down.
This would explain the dead in the lower areas that should have survived the blast but clearly did not.
Okay... I commented before the video ended like an arsehole.
Had I waited I would have known that you suggested the same thing.
if it was strong enough the radiation could kill you imediatly if its a very large ammount so like you said it was probably the fans
I have an idea!
Do a "Legend of" for all the Pulowski preservation centers. A lot of them have really interesting stories that you could talk about. Did they work? Did people Survive? There are a couple with bodies in them that you could talk about.
Near the Cambridge police station, there is a ghoul in one of then
I seen one with children toys inside it
"If not what are you doing with your life?"
I'm building a damn house with a giant lion statue, thank you very much!
"A fallen Nuka-Cola machine" goddamnit Enth. *adds stamp of approval*
:P
Love how Bethesda puts a story in almost all of their locations
People say Bethesda doesn't write proper stories but they fail to actually explore the locations in the games. THAT is how you find the stories and lore. They just want everything handed to them. Lazy.
5:42 You were sort of correct. Those machines are used to view film copies of paper records, usually for archival purposes.
A microfiche reader.
shit...not another fort. I've had my share of forts from F3 and those Talon Company pricks
HamyPlayz I'd love to see Prime storm their fort and kill those assholes
+HamyPlayz death to the brother hood. Tunnel snakes rule
HamyPlayz yes you can don't worry about it just pretend you love technology and the brother hood won't say anything.
😂😂😂
Talon company Mercs are angles compared to legion assasins
Something that bothers me is the advance technology but the lack of large mattresses..
XD
The bunker doesn’t seem to be a place made to work as a vault. It wouldn’t necessarily protect them from an atomic attack. And, as you pointed out, there is a particular amount of vents with dead bodies close to them. That’s not something that is showcased so explicitly in other places, so it could be a hint to what happened.
My guess is that most people downstairs died at the immediately after blast due to severe radiation poisoning.
You are definitely I need of my favorite TH-camrs that do things for fallout stuff. I love the constant references to plungers. I was watching from the beginning. Cheers!
"Notice, the strange, almost otherworldly head atop the building."
Yeah, it kind of looks like the statues in Rapture.
...... that it does
9:03 someone was obviously playing with themself in the bathroom
If you ever need a job, may I recommend audio book narrator, your voice is awesome xD
agreed!
OMG yes!
Him and BRT, something about F4 YTers and amazing voices
I actually got offered to narrate and audio book. Turned it down as I did not know whether I would have the time
thenthapple You NEED to try though, your voice is BEAUTIFUL!
The "renegade" Kellogg is tracking in the terminal probably refers to Virgil
you know that you've actually inspired me to some elder scrolls lore videos when I can. plus like one comment said you sound great for your videos
I know I'm years late on the comment, but one of the machines is an old microfiche reader.
Microfiche - a flat piece of film containing microphotographs of the pages of a newspaper, catalog, or other document.

I think it's a reference to the Atlantropa Project.
"if not, what do you do with your life?" -- I'm level 72 and I build settlements. So many settlements............
fair enough XD
I think those devices that you were looking at 5:38 are Microfilm readers, they look very similar and it would make viewing microfilm from aerial recon easier.

Does anyone else find it weird that there is only 1 major military base in the whole of the commonwealth? compared too the Capital Wasteland?
I was hoping you'd cover this place yesterday while doing the quest. I love it when things like that happen
good :)
I have been waiting for another one of these :) Thank you sir. ^^
Ah.. Fort Hagen... I truly enjoyed destroying the synths, and Kellogg. xD Hmm, yeah, I am also confused over the bodies within the bunker.

Their was obviously a malfunction with the external fans vents not closing , or fans not turning off. eradiated dust was then sucked through the ventilation system flushing the entire fort with highly contaminated dust.
it was probably a mix of both poison air and lake of supples because we didn't see a lot of empty can
on my first playthrough i wondered there randomly and it was the first time i saw synths in game which creeped the fuck out of me. also booze and the militiary go hand in hand i would know.
The radiation that came after the bombs hit can explain some of the deaths in the facility, especially the maintenance workers near the vent shafts, problem dying to radiation poisoning trying to fix the shafts to help the facility survive.
You're videos are great, I love just relaxing and watching one and soaking up all the lore.
Thanks :)
The tech at around 12:52 is institute technology,you can find the same mekits,recorders,etc inside the institute.
This game just slowly gets more and more creepy...
I usually go to sleep listening to these as your voice is pretty sweet, But when I wake up in the middle of the night to that holo-tape from West Everett Estates, or the ones from Fiddler's Green it always scare the Sh*t out of me.

Do a short lore video on the Red Rocket (and nearby cave) where you meet Dog-Meat.
I always assumed the men who died by the vents died from sucking in radioactive air.

I'm going to guess what happened to anyone working on the fans is when the EMP hit it most likely caused a massive power serge to a system that was not properly grounded in the first place
You know I heard in this certain county if somebody died and had a fan running they will say it is because they left their fan running
12:22 Wait! Was that Ukraine on the map? What? Wasn't the USSR still alive at the time?
Canada is also independent
Not only are the borders the same as in real life 2016, they forgot to make the Mediterranean an ocean. Did they drain it?
+Elephant Warrior Well in Fallout lore, Canada was annexed by the U.S
This is a map from 2016 in a game that plays in 2277 and history divided 1950 or so.
I am not sure about the Fallout year because I played Fallout 4 more than half a year ago.
Looks to me like they didn't think through the map at all. Just got a real map and added it. Surely China would look different, after all it probably swallowed up Mongolia and other neighbours before it invaded Alaska.
Gotta love that silky smooth voice.
I think the skeletons by the collapsed floor possibly died from the blast... then the floor gave in later
5:47 Perhaps the soldier was just going underground during the blast, and he managed to stumble that far before succumbing to radiation. That or radioactive fallout came in through the vent one level down and well, same deal.
Yeah the radiation seems a likely cause
Thanks man I've been begging for this location
The vents would transport in radiation and toxic air, killing the people around it
5:41 - They're called microfiche readers.
Yeah I've actually seen machines like that at my public library archives. Someone was using them to look at a microfilm tape roll which appeared to be a record of old birth certificates. It would make sense to find them in a military outpost.
Just started another play through recently. Set the protectron to construction worker and he did absolute work on the synths!
Keep up the awesome uploads!

Fuck sake take the weight off it. If you injure it more, it will lead to lasting complications. I speak from several painful experiences :/

Glad you stuck around :)
+thenthapple I'm glad too :)
The strange machines in question are called microfiche readers. They were fairly common in US Libraries into the 80s.
cheers
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS !! Your voice is perf for this type of stuff
Fun fact: on my PC save, Nick Valentine got stuck on the first fireplace in the fort. It was a pretty great moment.
that HEAD is an Enclave symbol used on alot of enclave controlled pre-war structures.
Machines at 5:40 - I only know this because I'm gen X, those are microfiche machines, which we had to use to scan old periodicals on film before the Internet.
at 5:40 these are microfiche machines used for reading documents in micro form and would be very common to see in an office building during the 1950's

The machines at 5:40 seconds you were asking about are microfiche readers. These were still in use up until the late 90's. I've seen facilities something like what is in the video, many have a small dispensary for a medical staff and to treat minor injuries, and do routine health checks like blood pressure, treat headaches, etc. Some facilities have bunk rooms for 24 hour staff & security including showers and workout rooms. The makers of fallout like stairs and showing broken floors etc, it makes it more visually interesting, The underground facilities I've seen are extremely well built and can withstand a near hit from a medium nuclear blast. As for the ongoing work, virtually every place I've been in has had some type of ongoing work to fix/improve/update something. That sort of maintenance never ends. I am not sure how the military operates in the UK but from with I've heard it is a much smaller scale but much the same.
Thanks for the in depth info. I was just surprised that the medical staff was not larger
Just from comparing the location in the game to what I've seen in the real world, the medical facility is about right, although the architecture is nonsensical - it makes for fun game play, up down, narrow halls, etc, but it does not work in the real world.
I think the people by the fans died because of the radioactive air going throughout the ventilation system
I don't know if you'll read this. And someone may have already said this. But the renegade that is referred to by Kellogg is not the player, rather it is Virgil the escaped scientist.
Looks like they were still working on the HVAC system and was not yet cut off from the outside or upper floors. That would explain how the people on the lower levels died.
good point :)
I play fallout for the random stories you find too. =p
you should do a thing on the buildings around the fort, cause a lot went on in that area pre-bombing.
you should do one on just those creepy ass heads. they're in unite united few places and I'm beginning to wonder if there are any possible ties between them
Machines on office level are micro-film machines
I imagine that some guy, as soon as the bombs dropped, went around boarding up all the doors and windows and just smashed up like all the machines.
I really think this happened XD
Maybe the radiation went in through the vents and... You know.
if you dont have a couple of bottles of alcohol on base at all times, you're not doing army right
I'd love to see a video of Bunker Hill, and the voluntary testing there. It's an interesting story!
oh there is a story there?
+thenthapple There are a few holotapes talking about the patients, the experiment and the doctor, all of which are going badly
Megan Newman Wait is this the town or something else?
+thenthapple it's in Boston, you'll find it on the Fallout wiki
Megan Newman I think I have, but I didn't know there was a story
From the looks of it, the fort was hit by the Fallout of the bombs and a small assault from the Chinese
a vid on the CIT would be nice.
Maybe the vents carried unfiltered radioactive air
In the world map it appears that the Mediterrean sea is dry land. Man In The High Castle reference?
Is that book worth a read?
thenthapple yeah dont watch the TV show, that seems bad to me, but yeah the book is great
Pyry Puustinen Just found the book in my house. Wtf?
thenthapple ?
Pyry Puustinen I didn't know I owned it
the plungers are teaming with the fans
scrap any desk fans you find
you should do the railroads old hq, I think it has some interesting information to be discovered about what it was
you should do a video on the buildings behind fort hagen that housed military family and near there and near the sat array is a place with a broke down tank where some drunk soldiers got it stuck and there is a note there to and near that is a place where they played the war games because there is a lot of trenches and a dead guy in a apc putting out mines for the war games
alright I shall take a look
Thanks for posting more of this awesome entertainment!
You are welcome
The machines you where interesting in look like microfiche. Yes they are for viewing old records in the form of microfilms.
Hey Thenthapple
The machines that you wanted to know what they are at 5:45 are Microfilm Viewers
They were very common use (not nowadays) for military and government facilities for mass record storage
So places like library of congress and the national archives still use them because most of the ww2, 50s, and 60, records were produced in microfilm format have not been thoroughly digitized
The reason most people in cover died is due to the internal bleeding from the blast sound waves.
wait would that really happen?
Micro-Fish machines, where the machines you where looking at, but I believe someone beat me to it.
My explanation for why there are so many dead near vents is that the blast sent energy or a huge gust of wind through the shafts, knocking many of them over and breaking their necks.
[SPOILERS]
Also, the renegade is Brian Virgil, and escaped Institute Scientist.
The desk that skeleton was sitting at, Piper just pushed it to the side and took a seat. Yep, just chillin there sharing a seat with a slumped over skeleton.
Bitch XD
*takes moment of silence for fallen. Nuka Cola, stares at dead synth*
love your content mate, keep it coming. ;-)
I will
You should do a legend of the factories I. The glowing sea
Radiation in the air from the bomb drop couldve been brought in by the air tanks, that can explain the deaths underground
You should role play as a detective with nick in your videos, it would work perfectly with how you like to do your videos and it would make your videos a lot more interesting, just my opinion
Hey Apple, you know that roach anomly storm i told you about? Turns it occurs everywhere in the game, also if you go to Markers Marina. I experienced a Barrel water movement when i was swimming, however at first i thought " Wait a min, it could've been just me swimming but this had been going for more than 20 mins and kept going up and down so their's definitely something in the water. However though i found some the places you discovered in the game, I can't get into the church so i dk where the key so my posting me a video link to your witchcraft church, also I found the crazy ass ayslum where the mercenaries are, and last but not least. How the hell did i suddenly become an enemy of the atom? Is the atom a Enemy of the brotherhood of steel?
People have already said this but yeah the vents were likely faulty and some sort of toxic air or radiation was trapped in the fort, but its surprising empty its not like the Chinese were in Boston. Also you'd think they would put in better flooring.
You mentioned “roof access, and building proper” for some reason i just started thinking, well in our pre-apocalyptic world we dont use roof access to enter a building proper from the outside of fort hagen you find the front door its barricaded sure however i dont think i have ever been able to find the front door of the building from the inside of the building 🤔
Dying on an empty stomach, war really is hell.
truly XD
