Times flies fast. Great for me, more stuff to write.
FEBRUARY 3, 2288
Sturges is still tweaking the mechanisms on the artillery recreation, but we should expect something in the next few days. Jeez, this guy is legendary when it comes to his mechanist work.
The workers finally cleared out the rubble from the Castle and cleaned up the mess in the basement. Unfortunately, we forgot a few mines, so one of the workers lost their legs. Another grave to dig.
Restoring the Minutemen is great and all, but if word ever gets out, people are gonna think we are instantly ready at the moment to save the Commonwealth, so we are maintaining radio silence until we can set up shop.
Preston and a few other Minutemen recruits helped me clear out Pleasure Bay today. It's not much, but it's a step to stopping the mirelurks from coming here.
Unfortunately it looks like some raiders have caught onto the act of us using the New Hampshire Massachusetts railway for linking from Sanctuary to South Boston, so we are decentralizing and set up some alternative routes. In case the railway is overrun, traders/provisioners are to use Point West(take backroads in Weston territory) or Point East(Use MA-2 and disguised as normal caravans, then travel until the fallen skybridge and take protected routes via Downtown).
FEBRUARY 9, 2288
We already had a water purifier blueprint ready, but it turns out desalinating it is harder than it seems. Thankfully, we got the problem solved today. The testing is done and Sturges is repairing the giant water purifiers that were originally used for the former settlement.
Power is still an issue, we are debating where to store the main generator. Some have suggested one of the five corner wings, or consider the basement, but we would have to do a full renovation to make sure it can never flood down there or face mirelurk attacks.
FEBRUARY 11, 2288
The basement just seems too costly at the moment and the resources needed could go towards improving the rest of the Fort Pentagon. We are storing the generators at a temporary location in the kitchen, based in the West Wing.
Cleanup of the entire Castle(plus the basement) has finished up and we are focusing on recycling whatever we can from the rubble because bricks ain't cheap these days. Any of the mirelurk stuff we found in the Castle after we secured it we are trying to convert to fertilizer.
A raider attack happened and a synth patrol got dangerously close to the Castle, but otherwise we are largely in the quiet.
FEBRUARY 12, 2288
We are rewiring the entire Castle as I write this, along with plumbing. We have stepped up the amount of recruits for construction to sort out the trash while we are looking for old industrial machinery that can produce bricks.
I took a trip back to Sanctuary, sticking to the plan of decentralizing and covering up the tracks of our supply routes. It's quiet there. The Longs, Warners, Scotts, and Woods are living peacefully in their homes. They've done a great job with managing the pantry house responsibly, jeez, they look so healthy but little food is being eaten from there. Good marketing, I suppose.
FEBRUARY 15, 2288
We've restored power to the West, North, and East Wing. We have repurposed the barracks as general living quarters for all the workers and staff on-site. We are also making as much efficiency with the space in the kitchen. General's quarters are still quiet, we haven't gotten to repairing it.
The trash sorting has finished. Still no old machinery(or blueprints) for that matter on creating new bricks.
FEBRUARY 22, 2288
You're listening to Diamond City Radio, the finest in all the Commonwealth. I'm Travis "Lonely" Miles. Let's get started with the news.
There has been an influx of traders and workers in the Southern Commonwealth. Fighting is increasing in South Boston by multiple gangs for unknown reasons. Seems interesting if you ask me, nothing really happens down there.
Gunners were spotted entering Jamaica Plain looking for treasure, again, and have not returned since. Many thought it was ghouls until it was noticed the entire town was dead silent.
Vertibirds were spotted flying over Cambridge before swiftly flying back. The noise has once again, awoken the ghouls. The blockade by Diamond City and Bunker Hill was successfully established.
That's all for now folks. Here's one of our beloved classics "It's The End Of The World".
Damnit! We can't find anything about the stupid bricks. It's all gonna have to be made with traditional methods. That's what some of the workers were thinking of, too. Should've listened to them.
I decided to take a break from the Castle since it was doing so well at the moment, and returned to Sanctuary, where I can find peace. The snow has begun to melt in some areas and the lake is no longer freezing.
We decided to begin planning a new bridge again to replace the now non-existent Old North Bridge. We already have the lumber resources and tools at hand to get it done faster than before, along with more workers.
FEBRUARY 28, 2288
It's the end of the month. I know about leap years, but I don't even know if this year is a leap year. I don't have time to do the math.
The bridge is rebuilt. Making sure defence is up, just to be safe. Not much going on.
I'm returning to South Boston. it's getting worse. Raider attacks have increased from Andrew, Dorchester, and the cargo port for Boston.
I will leave my journal for now to fight. Fort Pentagon is in danger.

Part Seven was a joke when it came to its length. That being said, hopefully I can make up for you all. I will be quite busy tomorrow and I am not sure if I will have time to write, so I'm doing it a day early. My regards to the family and friends of our passed administrator.
Edit to moderator: Thanks for switching the genre, I forgot about that.
JANUARY 15, 2288
I woke up, thinking it must be New Years Day or something, and told the others a Happy New Years, but they were confused. Turns out it was the 15th. The last time I was writing, it turned out to be the 2nd of January. Not sure how or when I entered a coma, but it's been two weeks.
Preston was talking to me a bit in private. He was proud of my help to rebuild the Minutemen. But he says I need a real break. Maybe I should stop with all the fighting and consider doing something else. He's right, but what can we do? We are in one of the year's most gruesome times yet and there's no point in me slacking off.
Anyway, I've enjoyed relaxing on the couch with Dogmeat(I keep forgetting to mention him in my diary, great kiddo) while listening to the radio. The record-breaking blizzards finally passed and the temperatures improved. Diamond City Radio is as clear as the sky.
Some news came out from the west. The region called Cranberry Valley which consists of everything between Springfield and Worcester was spared much better thanks to the mountains. It was named Cranberry Valley for the countless cranberry fields that dotted the muddy landscapes, a timeless prized fruit of New England and Massachusetts.
I'm getting off track with the news part... looks like the Gunner encampments on the overpass were abandoned and it allowed for caravans to start coming back on the MA-2. Food prices are lowering. The group thinks we should start inviting more families to Sanctuary now that food isn't that big of an issue. Maybe we should.
I also asked Preston why I heard arguing with Sturges a while ago. Turns out back when I was missing for a few days after Christmas, Sturges got concerned that the raiders would discover information on my body and use it to get back to Sanctuary, so he rigged a makeshift explosive to the bridge as a last resort. Even after we cleared it out with just guns, something must have malfunctioned. Looking at the creek, it was like the bridge never existed.
Unfortunately it isn't an ideal time to rebuild the entire bridge, so we just have a few makeshift crossings supported by rocks, wood, and other objects.
I also noticed that Abernathy and Oberland are gone, unlike the time two weeks ago when they were here for the care of their wounded ones.
It feels quiet... too quiet. Aside from two other farms, we are the only people in the Concord-Lexington region.
JANUARY 16, 2288
Good morning, Boston. Travis caught another flu again, but the rest of Diamond City also has it, so it's not much of a big suprise. I am however, in a good shape to broadcast in his spot, so here I am.
It is 9:30 AM, New England Time.
The Cambridge Police Station has gone quiet after a siege which lasted over a month. The distress signal is still operating. Diamond City is contributing resources, combined with Bunker Hill, to secure bridges and ensure ferals cannot access them. The raider gang previously controlling the U.S.S Riptide was destroyed for the means of authority on the Charles River. Goodneighbor has not yet made contact with Diamond City.
Contact with the rest of Massachusetts is back after the MA-2 was freed up, allowing caravans from Cranberry Valley and Nuka-City(aka New-ka-Springfield) to visit the Commonwealth. The raised overpass makes it favorable to avoid the ferals in Lexington and Cambridge. Sales continue to rise in Bunker Hill, which has helped to fund the blockade.
And now, a shoutout to a scavenger that managed to recover some old records. I am sure you will all like a change to the songs that we play on here.
Fired up the recruitment radio beacon today. The group has worked on restoring some of the homes. There are about fourteen properties, five of which are stripped down to the foundation because of ruined houses, and four currently in use for either residential or storage purposes. That leaves us with five homes. We have worked on some repairs, mainly with the roof, foundation, and redoing all the walling and flooring. A lot of us have gained strength and the adequate meals have helped.
JANUARY 17, 2288
Two new families arrived, the population is up to 15. We are still working out the final renovations and asked if the new guys can help us.
Snow is melting a bit, especially with the bags of salt we have stored, but the frost is still thick outside.
JANUARY 18, 2288
Oberland almost got raided, thankfully I'm glad I told them to hide the packaged foods when not using it.
It has been pretty chill and it looks like things are getting better, and now we can finally move out of the storm. Unfortunately, with how quiet the Northwest is and more farms out east, some are saying the Minutemen is returning. If we want to restore trust in a matter of time to save our legacy, Preston suggests we retake "The Castle", the old Minutemen HQ.
Turns out the old tourist attraction "Fort Independence" got a new name a while ago and served as the former Minutemen HQ, but almost fifty years ago a mirelurk queen tore it up pretty bad. If we want to reorganize operations in the Commonwealth, well, it was the spot to do it.
We pretty much control the NH&M railway from Carlisle to Ashton and we could easily use the local area to get to South Boston and back.
We made sure to stockpile and purchase quite a lot of shotgun shells and a crap ton of explosives(especially mines) and I told Preston I would meet him at the Castle with the other Minutemen recruits.
JANUARY 19, 2288
The railway track was pretty friendly until we got past Oberland but still it was actually relatively peaceful. Just some wild animals. Taking the trainyards at Boston was easier than I thought, but it leads to Mass Pike Underground, which has a lot of feral ghouls, so I decided to blockade the rationing site entrance.
I took a rest for the night since the walk alone must have been seven hours, I'm not too sure.
JANUARY 20, 2288
I used an isolated relay tower to avoid walking straight into Greenskin territory. It's harder then it seems but at least I'm not chased by hulks, one probably strapped with a bomb on his hand.
Jamaica Plain is also feral-infested but not as bad as some of the other towns i've seen.
University Point is home to a fight between synths and a deathclaw, so far? Victory for the deathclaw. Thank god it's distracted so I can walk along the coastline. Managed to avoid any fights with the high school gangsters.
Met up with Preston and the gang. The rest took different routes and are fine for the most part. God, it sends chills down my spine seeing the old candy shop again. Haven't been there since I was eight after we left the tour of the fort.
We ultimately decided to just make a direct offensive, start with the courtyard, and clear out the castle walls and catwalks. The shotguns do a damn fine job at clearing out the nests, and enough firepower from each shot(or two) can fear a mirelurk's face apart and drive it insane.
Courtyard was cleared in a few minutes, but by then we alerted the rest of the mirelurks around the Castle. We were doing really well and clearing out the last nests when we heard a deep roar from Pleasure Bay.
The mirelurk queen was back and was approaching its way across the destroyed sections of the castle walls. One person died from her attacks and I got a nasty acid burn.
Took way too many explosives until the bastard finally trembled to the floor on her last legs. I got medical support while the rest of the nests were cleared out.
JANUARY 21, 2288
The acid burn did one on me but it's healing pretty well. The dead Minuteman is being transported back to Sanctuary via handcar.
We're cleaning up the Castle right now. Just scrubbing the walls, ripping off the seaweed, shovelling the sediment and **** away, and trying to make use of all the mirelurk meat. We repaired one of the generators so we can keep the fridges stocked. Even with a chainsaw though, the shell of a mirelurk queen is a pain like hell to cut through.
JANUARY 28, 2288
A week has passed since we retook the Castle. Cleanup with the mirelurks and sea **** has finished up, and now we turn attention to restoring and glorifying the castle. Since we want it to last, I've decided to give it a new name: The Pentagon.
Even if what Sturges said about DC is true, the Pentagon is probably a silent crater as I write this. Don't see no reason why not place it at Boston, the fort is shaped like it anyway.
Hired some unlucky people in the South Boston area to clean up and sort through the rubble, and the promise of clean water and good food got them running quickly. Not exactly ethnic, but hey, at least I'm even bothering such good rations.
Of course, this was a few days ago, and they've done a damn fine job at cleaning up the place, so I might have to up the calorie intake and stockpile more filters.
I decided to create a little minefield up around Jamaica Plain, went to one of the end roads, and made as much noise as possible. Wiped out most of the feral ghouls in the area. This town is ours, now.
Now that Jamaica Plain is safe to walk through(hopefully), I began to work on restoring some radio links to establish Pentagon Castle to Sanctuary.
FEBRUARY 1, 2288
The cleanup workers at Pentagon Castle have done an incredible job on the ground level. We are moving towards the basement now, but we still can't access the armory. Speaking of which, an old Minutemen veteran talked to me about the locked armory and helped me to get to the access. Had to take out one of our best robots, but we need the supplies in the armory. Found one of our old generals dead, so we brought him upstairs and prepared for a burial.
The button mechanic to open the doors works just fine and the armory is now accessible. We used this advantage and gathered all the ammunition, weapons, and even saved our precious artillery blueprint. We cleaned up the trash piles for each corner tower of the castle, so we should consider rebuilding the models soon.
I need to stop writing, I need to help with something.
My halo playthrough of fallout 4 isn't doing so good
Does anyone know any good mods that help with stability on xbox one?
Hello.
Something interesting about Jackpot and Ballistic Fiber.
If the player completes Nuka-World and conquers all available Commonwealth settlements before joining the Railroad, the Mercer Safehouse quests and the following Jackpot! quests will not activate. They'll be completely unavailable, likely due to there being no available settlements for Mercer Safehouse. This means that the player is effectively locked out of Ballistic Fiber until, perhaps, Open Season is completed.
This may also affect the Minuteman Questline, though this was not tested. However, it is possible to fortify the Red Rocket Truck Stop as a Raider Outpost before recuing Preston Garvey from the Museum of Freedom. This prevents from getting to Sanctuary. He'll likely arrive once the player leaves the area and Garvey's position resets.
In order to do this, Nuka-World was entered at Level 1 using Mine-Blitzing. Nuka-World was completed before returning to the Commonwealth, excluding the mandatory Raider Outpost quests before Power Play.
Video presented as evidence of the Raider Outposts, and Garvey's bad day.
I had seen a guy saying that the Brotherhood of Steel is Bethesda's favorite, so I came to ask, is the Brotherhood really Bethesda's favorite faction?
Why is there a black band over the Nuka-Cola cap in the upper left of the screen? Did someone pass away? o.0
So, I play on xbox. and i recently reported it crashing often, and i was told i was going to get put to a higher power, however its been 2 weeks and there has been no responce. what should i do?
step 1. go into the silver rush in freeside
step 1.5 (optional) have good barter
step 2. go straight, there will be a door, go into the hallway and on the door to the right will be a restroom
step 3. use the Z key (or right thumbstick if controller) to grab the laser guns / plasma guns, basically everything
step 4. put them into the restroom (it will take a long time putting everything there)
step 5. close the door, crouch to see if you're detected
step 6. if [HIDDEN], take everything
step 7. go to the gun runners (or any vendor that has a lot of caps, preferably 3k caps - 4k caps)
step 8. sell them
step 9. bathe in caps
note: prolly be careful with the mines, they might explode if you step on them, idk tho, never tested it out
or the alternate route
step 1. have 10 luck
step 2. GAMBLE 🤑🤑🤑
