Hello all! Talon Company is back, we've been hard at work since February on this project and we're proud to present our brand new quest mod Back from the Future! At the root of it, this mod is the solution to a persisting problem in Fallout 3, namely there being not enough ammunition for the alien blaster. I have created a mechanism by which to create your own, without breaking any other crafting function. Around that intent is built a high level dungeon dive with intense fighting, searching for clues and passcards, and learning a story that ties together the past, present, and future including a lore friendly, fictitious, and humorous tie-in to a real person in today's news. I've tossed in a couple of other references after the style of Black Isle Studios for a laugh or two as well.

The quest begins by receiving a radio distress call. The signal draws you to a building across from the National Guard Depot. (Radio signal doesn't play, tried everything, just go there). Come prepared, all enemies in this quest are boss level. With MMM the action is very intense. Check every terminal in the building, READ EVERYTHING! Get an employee ID, you'll need it. Find Trinity upstairs in the CEO's office. She will be your quest guide. No, you do not have a choice. Listen to her and do as she says, just as if she were your girlfriend/wife/mom. Prompt her along the way for dialog, she has different topics at different points, so talk to her often! You need three passcards to get where you're going. They are laying loose at points around the building. In other words explosives may dislodge them, causing you to have to search to find them. Use caution. Fight your way to the factory first. That's downstairs from the CEO's office. There you will discover the ultimate fate of the original employees of Blammo Corporation. There is a scripted scene that triggers if you've done everything it looks for. Custom followers may break immersion during the scripted sequence. Leave them at home. All vanilla followers will be automatically fired and sent home. You will need to rehire them. Too bad. On to R&D. Fight your way through R&D, find the final passcard, and head to the vault. A script will run on Trinity and you will choose whether to keep her as a permanent companion or not. In the vault lies your goal: a working alien ammunition generator. A new unique weapon, Project X, is there as well. It's an auto-fire version of the alien blaster. I nerfed the damage a bit to remove some of the godliness, but it's still a kick ass weapon. It's not compatible with WMK but it doesn't need to be, so that this mod doesn't interfere with WMK or any other mod that I know of. Use the terminal to access the exit. Once you've gone through the hatch, you can come back to the exit and use it as a backdoor entrance to the generator.

If you selected to have Trinity return and become your companion, she will tell you it'll take about a week. Actually she comes back in 2-3 minutes because honestly who has a week to wait in FO3 anymore? She'll tell you this too, but you have to fire her and rehire her to make her follow correctly. I don't know why and can't seem to fix it. After that she's a regular follower with no special abilities other than being essential, and a few lines of random chatter. Good with energy weapons.

USAGE: This mod is free to use in your game as you see fit. Please contact Talon Company here if you wish to upload a mod based on my mod or any portion of it. The same applies if you wish to upload my mod in any form to any other site.

AFTERWORD: I'm no interior designer. I spent a month making interiors for this mod but they were crap and in the end the cloned interiors just suited my purpose so well that I had to use them. I tried to make them not so recognizable, so I hope you'll forgive that.

As always, we at Talon Company appreciate your business. Have a great day!
