同一会带来优等种族。主教!主教!一个能够在废土上生存,甚至茁壮成长的人。只要有分歧,我们就会互相争斗。我们需要一场比赛。赛跑!赛跑!一个目标。目标!目标!一人...向我们的命运前进。命运。主教

同一(英文名:Unity) (也被称为主教的军队[4][5][6][7][8][9])是由主教创造的军事和政治组织,以推进他的议程。主教渴望强力地将人类进化成一个单一的、完美的种族,消除导致人类冲突的不平等。为此,他在人类身上使用了強制進化病毒(FEV)来提升他们。新加州的大多数人将主教的种族通俗地称为超级变种人

随着洛杉磯避難所的发现,以及大教堂之子教会的成立,主教创造了转化和招募人们加入他的项目的手段。打着和平使者的幌子;在废土的城市里建立医院和教堂。教徒和变种人,在精英夜行者战士的带领下,准备好了一场改变地球面貌的战争,并实现了主教建立民族国家的目标。在最后几个月的准备工作中,它被放逐者打断了。

历史[]

同一以哈罗德理查德·格雷和一群其他冒险家在2102年对玛丽博萨军事基地的不幸远征开始。6月23日,这支队伍被居住在基地的变种人击溃。格雷被撞进了一个大桶里。他受伤的状态加上长期暴露在FEV下,促使他进化为主教。[10]在他恢复意识并把自己从大桶里拖出来后,在长达数周的浸泡后,他继续变异。[11][12]突变最终稳定下来,他注意到自己的心智能力大大增强,能够解决最复杂的哲学问题。他开始在感染军事基地的动物身上做实验,让它们接触病毒。当他将一只老鼠和一只狗同时浸入病毒时,产生的融合激发了他开始制定统一的哲学,为同一奠定了基础。[13][14]然而,由于缺乏实验对象或对病毒的了解,实验受到了挫折。[15][16]

2102年12月,在一系列定向突变之后,通过向变异身体的不同部位注射病毒剂量,格雷获得了与电脑神经连接的能力,使他能够访问基地的数据库。在这些数据的帮助下,他开始对误入这些设施的人进行实验,但运气不太好。[17][18]最后,在2103年1月中,他终于将辐射暴露作为影响改造成功的关键因素隔离出来。第一个成功的超级变种人被格雷同化为同胞,创造了主教蜂群思维。同一开始了。[19][20]主教开始从当地的人类社区中收集实验对象。这个过程很慢,因为人口的稀缺而受阻,但在接下来的三十年里,他建立了一支由超级变种人组成的小部队,直到2130年的大冬天让主教相信这不再可行。[21][22]

2131年,主教决定集中精力从越来越多的穿越废土的商队那里获取臣民。居住在这里的人们幸灾乐祸地没有意识到这次袭击,他们把袭击归咎于怪物,让军队迅速壮大。[23]2137年,已经有足够的超级变种人来维持大规模生产。虽然成功率在15-20%之间,但有一半的人加入了主教的军队,它迅速成长为一支强大的军事力量。由此产生的军队被主教命名为同一,成为他对人类和世界愿景的基础。[2]在接下来的15年里,同一在新加州上不断扩张,从阴影中脱颖而出。在2152年,主教得到了墨菲斯和他的末日信徒的帮助,创造了大教堂之子教会,作为统一的公众形象并保持神秘。[24]

FO01 NPC Master B

主教,关键的哲学家和统一的领袖。

仅仅三年后,在2155年中,同一在操作上取得了突破。在逮捕了一队来自洛杉磯避難所的居民后,主教将他的指挥权转移到了那里,并命令墨菲斯的信徒们修复避难所上方的建筑,建立大教堂和它的信徒们。避难所为主教和同一提供了大量的信息,最重要的是其他避难所的位置。超级变种人开始搜索他们的可疑地点,收集主要对象进行超級變種人转化。[25][26]并非所有的手术都成功:被派去调查贝克斯菲尔德和12号避难所的分队最终与生活在废墟中的屍鬼交战,直到赛特调停停火,并解释说屍鬼12号避难所剩下的居民,战斗才停止。一个驻军被留下,以确保赛特的合作,并逮捕偶尔经过的人类。[27]

大教堂之子教会带头的同一行动的稳步扩张和对新加州袭击的准备似乎无法阻止。然而,主教并没有解释放逐者的干扰。同一在被创造出来之前就被放逐者摧毁了:放逐者受到13号避难所监督的刺激,在2162年3月3日,他们潜入大教堂并用核武器摧毁了它,杀死了主教。[28]作为报复,同一攻击了古城墓地,试图找到放逐者,但为时已晚。[29]4月20日,在主教死后不到两个月,放逐者摧毁了玛丽博萨军事基地,给了同一军团致命的一击。[30]虽然放逐者消失在了废土中,但鋼鐵兄弟會在冲突双方都以最小的生命损失赶走了超级变种人,并在废土中确立了自己的主要力量,但却明智地置身于权力结构之外。[31]

幸存下来的超级变种人分成了几个不同的群体,每个群体都追求不同的目标:许多群体从新加州北部和东部迁移出去,寻找新的地方定居。[32]一些人在莫哈韦定居,先是在黑山,后来在雅各布斯镇定居。一大群人进入了落基山脉。

一些人定居下来与人类共存,试图融入社会或为自己找到新的生活,其中最著名的尝试之一是破碎丘,由马库斯雅各布在2185年建立,作为一个正常和变异的人类可以并肩生活的地方。[33]最终,与屍鬼一起,变种人人口将变得足够大,成为新加州共和国的一个独特的人口群体,于2205年通过法律禁止对变种人的歧视。[34]然而,这并没有完全消除社会对超级变种人的歧视。

并不是所有的超级变种人都能适应新的环境。有些人逃到沙漠,拒绝放下武器投降。主教军队的顽固残余将继续在新加州北部和莫哈韦肆虐,导致对变种人的偏见挥之不去。即使到了2281年,一些变种人也会成为人类偏见的牺牲品,比如Mean Sonofabitch,被一群偏执狂折磨致残。[35]一些政客甚至试图利用反变种人的情绪来为自己的政治生涯谋利。[36]

社会[]

同一是一个平等的社会。病毒将所有超级变种人的体能提升到普通水平,消除了人与人之间冲突的许多核心差异。许多超级变种人实际上更喜欢这种转变,因为同一摆脱了困扰普通人类的小气、仇恨和嫉妒。唯一的问题是智力问题。虽然完美的转化会引导他们成为夜行者,成为主教理想秩序中真正的新人类,但一些转化的候选人并没有足够的精神毅力来承受这种压力。[37]虽然他们是变种人中的少数(大多数人都保留了变异前的智力),他们的影响严重到足以干扰同一的目标。[38]

大多数变种人并不讨厌人类,相反,他们认为自己是更好的形式。人类不愿意克服其固有的问题,这意味着大多数人不得不被迫改变和适应,就像他们听到召唤时逃跑一样,而不是拥抱它。[39]如果人类接受了召唤,那么主教的计划就根本不需要了。[40]当然,他们有不同的信仰:一些超级变种人认为自己和正常人是平等的,因为他们有共同的祖先。他们认为变异仅仅是一种重生,并支持同一,认为这是最好的和平机会,尽管有疑虑。[41]

然而,来自大教堂之子教会的人类皈依者由于他们的宗教热情而成为糟糕的谈话对象(真实的或表演的)。FEV通常被称为上帝的血,用于准备人类浸泡的束缚是神圣的,而病毒桶是上帝创造军队的子宫。[42]尽管如此,即使是在关键问题上,变种人与他们的人类对手之间也普遍存在诚实和信任。[43]超级变种人和来自大教堂的普通人类信徒之间的联合冥想会议也很常见,即使他们加强了同一的宗教方面。[44]

同一的完美社会有一个关键的缺陷:即使主教“真的”成功了,同一也会失败,因为FEV会让超级变种人不育,而同一会带来人类的最终终结。虽然它没有破坏主要的性特征,允许超级变种人进行性交,但它确实干扰了配子,纠正了里面的DNA。因此,受孕是不可能的。[45]

政治学说[]

同一最初是由主教在2102年创造的,指的是他将生物吸收到自己体内的能力。事实上,他显然是打算在这些阶段将“奇妙的生命多样性”同化成一个单一的、统一的生物量。[21]然而,这个想法在2137年被完全抛弃了,当时同一作为一支专注于推进主教哲学和人类愿景的军事力量而存在。[2]

这种愿景最终演变为专注于形象的统一。同一将通过提升消除人类之间的差异和由此产生的冲突和战争: 暴露于強制進化病毒。由此产生的超级变种人不仅会团结起来,而且能够在废土上茁壮成长,成为一个种族和一个民族,团结在一个目标之下。尸鬼和正常人都不被视为竞争对手,前者是后者给人类带来的核死亡的受害者。[46]成为超级变种人是人类进化的下一步,并在此过程中拯救世界。[47]

所有有价值的人都会被FEV转化,在这个过程中成为完美的人类样本。[48]更快,更强壮,更聪明,对疾病和辐射免疫,为生活在辐射灰覆盖的世界做好了准备。在这件事上牺牲选择被认为是一种可以接受的交换,以换取生活中没有恐惧的能力。[49]所有有价值的人都将经历这种转变 - 不管他们对这件事的看法如何。[47]那些不符合条件的人将被允许在同一的控制和保护下度过他们的一生,但被剥夺了延续他们物种的能力。[50]

军事[]

Fo1 Unity vs

同一在中央山谷的领土控制(左上)与兄弟会(右下)相比,它在军事力量方面是唯一平等的。

同一是一个高度军事化的社会,没有明确的区分士兵和平民,导致它通常被称为主教的军队。超级变种人都很强壮,有弹性,对废土的危险免疫,并接受了使用武器和战术的训练。大教堂之子教会是最接近典型平民的,但即使是他们也被期望作为非正规军和主教士兵的支援单位参与征服新加州。[51]

然而,即使在主张平等主义的变种人中,也存在一定的分歧。普通超级变种人(后来被称为第一代,是在英克雷发掘了玛丽博萨军事基地之后,以及随后新一代变种人的出现)拥有绿色皮肤,是主教的主力。在他们上面的是夜行者,FEV转化的完美结果,即使按照同一的标准,也被认为是精英,提供了同一所能提供的最好的盔甲和武器,以及隱形小子,被用作主教的指挥官,间谍,刺客和联络人等。与墨菲斯一起。[52][53]

为了加强他的战斗力量,主教试图通过基因拼接创造守护者,但在他完成计划之前被放逐者阻止了。他早期的许多作品都比他活得更久,并继续在废土上游荡。这些令人憎恶的东西包括多脚兽浮體蟲,它们经常被发现在一起,好像它们彼此之间有某种亲缘关系。[54]

科技[]

同一是废土上技术最先进的组织之一。其士兵通常装备高端重型武器和能量步枪,依靠厚厚的皮甲保护自己。盔甲通常仅限于关节或肩部的保护。同一的所有成员都能获得高质量的医疗服务和可靠的食物和水来源,这在废土上是非常罕见的壮举。[55]

对科学的外来分支进行了研究。主教的科学家们在灵能战争中进行了实验,试图通过将FEV直接注入大脑的各个区域来复制主教的灵能潜能,结果好坏参半。有四次部分成功的记录,创造了令人难以置信的强大的通灵者,尽管他们是极度疯狂的。这四个都被隔离在洛杉磯避難所的实验室里。[56]

同一是废土上仅有的拥有核武器的力量之一。被回收出来的装置被保存在大教堂下面的一个安全地点,而核武器的钥匙则被委托给玛丽博萨军事基地副官。它的目的是作为最后的武器使用,假如同一遇到一个敌人,并且无法克服。然而,即使这被认为是可疑的,因为主教不想再一次释放可怕的核火焰。[43]

登场[]

同一只出现在辐射中,并在辐射2辐射:新维加斯辐射战略版辐射:钢铁兄弟会中被提到。

幕后[]

Gammorin's Army Fallout TacticsAttis Army Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel是同一的后裔。辐射:战略版中的Gammorin's Army最远到达了伊利诺伊州,变成了Gammorin's Army。这支军队被钢铁兄弟会追赶,他们搬到了美国中西部,用飞艇操纵这片领土。其中一架坠毁了,它的幸存者圣骑士Latham挑战了超级变种人的领袖Gammorin,并杀死了他,占据了军队的位置。然而,在战斗中,Latham伤了头,这导致了一种心理疾病,使他强迫性地控制这支军队,使用前任领导人的名字Gammorin作为别名。这让他甚至让Erkal负责一项研究,寻找解决变种人不育的方法。由于攻击人类定居点并捕获了将军Barnaky,钢铁兄弟会得以找到Latham并击败了加莫林的军队。Latham在临终前表达了他的烦恼,他说组织无法看到一个更大的威胁,甚至连变种人都无法阻止。

Grey is knocked into one of the vats of FEV by a robotic arm, and Harold is knocked unconscious, only to awaken later out in the wasteland."
  11. Fallout Bible 0: "2102 July Richard Grey, now horribly mutated by the virus, crawls from the Vats covered with FEV and in terrible pain. Barely able to think or perceive his surroundings, he crawls into the Vat control room and begins his audio log. He fades in and out of consciousness, sometimes for days or weeks at a time."
  12. Richard Grey's audio diary: "==0000 - 0004==
    I'm dying. I need to get this down before the pain overwhelms me.
    ==0005 - 0020==
    I can't believe that I was finally able to drag myself out of that vat. The slime did not affect me, but I nearly drowned. I don't know what happened to Harold - he was standing right next to me when the crane knocked me into the vat. He must have been killed or he would have tried to help me. Francine is dead, killed by one of those robots.
    ==0021 - 0027==
    I have no idea how much time has passed. I was able to hack the computer to turn off the robots and record this, but now my mind is slipping away.There is much pain...
    ==0028 - 0043==
    The green slime that I was immersed in is the source of all the mutations we traced to here. My skin is starting to fester and peel. In other areas it is bubbling and is expelling a green mucus-like substance. Some days the pain is almost tolerable.
    ==0044 - 0057==
    I can actually walk a few steps again...It seems inconceivable that I dragged myself all the way up here from the vat room. Strangely, I'm actually feeling stronger, though I'm still in a lot of pain. Everything seems to be getting smaller.
    ==0058 - 0096==
    I think I consumed one of the mutated things scurrying around here today. Before I knew what was happening, some sort of tendril had sprang from my stomach and covered the poor creature. As soon as it had sucked the rodent into my gut I could actually feel its mind. I think. There is the very real possibility that I'm going slowly insane and can no longer differentiate between what is real and what is a hallucination. Maybe I'm still slowly dying in the vat and I've imagined all this. "
  13. Fallout Bible 0: "2102 July-Nov Richard Grey begins to acclimate to his condition, and begins his first tests of animals by exposing them to FEV. These experiments and his growing awareness lay the foundation for his plans for the Unity and the master race. He takes the name, "the Master.""
  14. Richard Grey's audio diary: "==0097 - 0111==
    Things are becoming more clear to me every day. This toxin has actually improved my mind. I feel that I can understand even the most complex philosophical questions simply and directly. It's as if all the layers of artifice have been stripped away. I wonder what would happen if I submerged an animal in the vats for a prolonged period of time? Would it gain awareness?
    ==0112 - 0134==
    The strangest thing is happening to the animals. They actually become smarter and more aware of their surroundings. I dipped a dog and a rat at the same time today, and they were fused together. It's not quite two creatures anymore, but it's more than one. Perhaps this is the future - a coming together of different creatures in some sort of harmonious unity. I no longer consume the different animals I create simply for sustenance - I have become the instrument through which unity will be achieved. I am so much more than a human being now."
  15. Fallout Bible 0: "2102 Nov The first human victim wanders into Mariposa, and Grey consumes him."
  16. Richard Grey's audio diary: "==0135 - 0139==
    It is time to bring others into the glory that is the Unity.
    ==0140 - 0153==
    A lost soul has finally strayed into my home. I was so surprised I consumed him before dipping, a mistake I shall not make again. His mind was so primitive as to be repulsive to my refined cognitive abilities."
  17. Fallout Bible 0: "2102 Dec Grey continues his experiments on wanderers that enter Mariposa... with no success. The creations are flawed (due to the radiation counts in their bodies), making them big but incredibly stupid, and Grey consumes them rather than letting them live."
  18. Richard Grey's audio diary: "==0154 - 0172==
    I've begun to modify myself to be more pleasing to the Unity by injecting small doses of the virus into my body. The slime in the vats is a man-made virus called the Forced Evolutionary Virus. This information was acquired from my newly grown neurolink with the base computer.
    ==0173 - 0198==
    The few wanderers that have found their way here have been a disappointment to me. They can't seem to mutate correctly. The best I've been able to create are some big and dumb mutants. Most can recall nothing from before I initiated them into the wondrous Unity. I only feed on them for fuel, now. Their minds are nothing to me."
  19. Richard Grey's audio diary: "==0199 - 0236==
    Oh glorious creator!! I have succeeded in spreading the complete joy of unification to another soul! Unlike the others, his total radiation count was low. I believe this is the factor we have been overlooking all this time, as it seems the conversion is more successful in the cases with less radiation damage. I have never known such glory as I felt when taking his mind into our own."
  20. Fallout Bible 0: "2103 January The Master discovers the problem with the influence of radiation on his mutations, and he begins to choose his subjects more carefully. The first classic super mutants are born, butt-scratching animations and all. He begins his plans to build an army."
  21. 21.0 21.1 Richard Grey's audio diary: "==0237 - 0281==
    We are beginning to create an army dedicated to unifying the wonderful diversity of life. We have trained them to continue our work here while we search out more populated areas to take into ourselves. We are beginning to feel the limitations of a body that is mobile. We must find a permanent home, with a greater store of knowledge, and a steady supply of bio-mass.
    ==0282 - 0303==
    We have stopped increasing ourself until we can find this new unification center. When we have arrived we will continue to grow and feed until we have brought peace and unity to the entire world."
  22. Fallout Bible 0: "2103-2130 Throughout this period, the Master begins slowly gathering test subjects, willing or unwilling, from local human stock. The Great Winter of 2130 and the scarcity of human subjects make building his army difficult."
  23. Fallout Bible 0: "2131-2135The Master begins ordering his super mutants to gather human stock from caravans. For many years, the caravan disappearances are blamed on monsters in the desert, and even when the abductions begin to occur on Hub caravans, the deathclaws are blamed. The super mutant army grows."
  24. Fallout Bible 0: "2152 As their influence slowly spreads throughout the wastes, the Master finds humans, doomsday cultists, and rather than dip them in the vats, he demands their obedience as spies - their leader is a man named Morpheus, and he pledges his followers to the Master. Morpheus and his cultists form the future core of the Children of the Cathedral."
  25. Fallout Bible 0: "2155-2156 After capturing a caravan of strange-garbed travelers (vault dwellers), Master learns the location of the Boneyard Vault, the future site of the Cathedral. He conquers the inhabitants and sets up operations there, and the human cultists begin to use the Vault as their powerbase. Within the Vault, the Master learns of other Vaults, and realizing their human occupants are ripe for transformation, begins to send out patrols to Vault locations in search of these other Vaults."

Many ghouls are snapped like twigs in the attack, and Set finally parleys with the super mutants, telling them that the ghouls are the Vault survivors the super mutants are looking for.

For the most part, the NCR's practices live up to its ideals, but there has been some retrenchment since the death of President Tandi. Aaron Kimball's popularity was amplified by a reactionary undercurrent, especially among males, calling out a need for a "strong man" to lead the NCR forward.

  38. Fallout Bible 5:
    "5. In F1 the Lieutenant said that the FEV raises intelligence. There are, however, very many dumb mutants. What can you say about it? And what do you think of my theory, which i've been using in my Fallout PnP campaign?
    Sorry, Pawel, for two things: I wasn't able to personally respond to your email because I kept getting bounced, and two, I wasn't able to comment on your FEV theory (as a reminder, I can't read fan-created material, so just send questions, comments, or facts if you can).
    As for the FEV enhancing intelligence, the original Pre-War FEV at West Tek did, and more consistently than the Fallout-era virus.
    The current Fallout-era FEV does enhance intelligence - in some people. Just not many. The Lieutenant was one of the lucky ones who didn't become a knuckle-dragging, butt-scratching moron after being dipped (and it may not have raised his intelligence, he may have been that smart before his dipping, but no records of his past exist to verify this).
    The FEV that was released out in the wasteland was mutated by radiation, so its effects changed. As for the FEV at Mariposa, the Lieutenant says the super mutants are smarter than humans ("We are highly intelligent and immune to disease"), which is only half-right, and he also says that the virus can also interfere with a person's memory, causing them to forget things. Obviously, the Lieutenant keeps forgetting that most of his super mutant forces can barely form complete sentences.
    Basically, the FEV in the vats only has a small chance of raising a being's intelligence (or even keeping it intact). The Master was one of the lucky ones. More often than not, it causes brain damage. It's also possible that the crude dipping procedure in Mariposa also caused imperfect mutations as well, reducing the chance of heightened intelligence.
    But to answer your question: the FEV at West Tek before the war caused increased intelligence in its subjects, but the FEV at Mariposa after the war rarely enhanced the intelligence of humans who were dipped. The reason for this is unknown.
    Chris Taylor says:
    Chris Taylor: Actually, a dip in FEV has a chance of modifying Intelligence, but it doesn't always increase it. Some people do gain increased intelligence, a larger majority lose intelligence and most people remain the same. It also depends if people have enough radiation damage to be turned into ghouls or super mutants."
  39. The Chosen One: "{255}{}{Why did you hate humans back then?}"
    Marcus: "{230}{mcs36}{Right. Well, never really HATED humans. We just had a better way. These new governments, they think they've got all the answers. Blah, blah. Been there, seen that, got the scars.}"
    The Chosen One: "{231}{}{So what was the better way?}"
