Mission directives[]
Primary Directive:
Monitor activity funneling in and out of Diamond City. It's possible Railroad agents may be posing as guards or traders in order to transport escaped synths. Report any suspicious behavior to the Bureau.
Secondary Directive:
Ingratiate yourself with the local raider clans. Ensure none of our agents are captured or harmed.
Weapons and requisitions[]
Operatives are encouraged to blend into their surroundings. This means not only making sure your attire conforms to convention, but also your weapons.
However, there may be instances where you need more adequate equipment to ensure mission success.
If such action is acquired, a vendor can be contacted by placing a token into the alms bowl of one of our agents situated outside Diamond City. This will notify our dealer to meet you at the Cambridge Diner with a supply of high end plasma weapons. Several of these are new prototypes which are in need of field testing. Further details are listed in this holotape.
Keep in mind that all weapons will be sold for caps to maintain cover in the event of discovery. Conversation not pertaining to the sale is also prohibited for this reason.
All of this may seem excessively cautious, but recently our vendors have encountered high raider activity and we cannot afford to let additional prototypes fall into outside hands.
Once the weapons are obtained, be sure to construct a suitable backstory to explain the acquisition of the weapon.
Prototype documentation[]
IPX-02 Code Azure Pistol[]
DESCRIPTION:
The Azure team's line of gas projectiles has provided promising results in laboratory testing. The mixture deals additional damage to machine hardware and operating systems, making it ideal for security forces and synth retention operations.
Unfortunately its instability at higher yields has limited its use to pistol sized platforms. Further testing is needed to determine overall efficacy.
ADDENDUM:
The Azure research line may be inappropriate for mass production. Despite its effectiveness against machine and synthetic threats, the review board may find the weapon too specialized for widespread use.
Some elements of the design can still be carried over for implementation as a series of modular barrel variants. These "charged" barrels afford extra electrical damage output.
A3-21 Prototype Rifle[]
DESCRIPTION:
This prototype was originally designed for SRB courser units engaged in synth retention. The bolt of superheated gas is powered by a base plasma cartridge, and propelled down a superconducting barrel and stabilized with electromagnetism.
The A3-21, however, offers secondary damage on impact. The collision induces a chain reaction that emits a high level of gamma radiation that can penetrate non-lead based metals and quickly turn lethal. For this reason it's advised that in its current form, use of the A3-21 plasma rifle be restricted to non-human personnel until modifications can be made.
ADDENDUM:
Refinements to the excessive radiological damage of the A3-21 line have yielded a functional and stable line of modular barrel enhancements that have been approved for use with the production model.
In preliminary experiments, these irradiated barrel modules produce similar damage to the prototype with reduced risk to non-synthetic users. However, further testing is required to confirm.
IPX-03 Phoenix[]
DESCRIPTION:
The IPX-03 Phoenix is a superheated and highly combustible gas mixture designed to brittle a plasma discharge, allowing it to spray on impact. The result is a searing projectile hot enough to melt through armor or carbonize human flesh, but also provide additional damage outside the point of entry.
This variant requires further testing to ensure the safety of field troops. In early tests, it endangered friendly forces due to its excessive impact radius. As a result, further tests are limited to clandestine operatives working with non-essential personnel.
ADDENDUM:
The Phoenix research team has managed to refine the more unstable elements of this design to the point where the added lethality and combustability can be implemented on the production model via modular emitter units.
These "superheated" modules retain the fire starting capability of the prototype, albeit at reduced scale.
