Fallout 4 companions react to Sole finding out (the hard way) that skunks are still a thing. And now their spray is radioactive, so it’s even worse! Bonus points if the companions were also sprayed.

Radioactive skunks? That’s bad news. I had fun writing this, please enjoy! 😊

FO4 Companions React: Getting Sprayed By a Radioactive Skunk

Sole and their companion were scavenging for junk in the wilderness surrounding Outpost Zimonja when they heard rustling in a nearby bush.

Weapons drawn, the pair walked toward the noise, preparing for an ambush.

When they were just feet away, a small skunk came scurrying out from the bush.

Deacon:

“Aww, It’s kinda cute,” Deacon giggled, “Maybe this thing would make a better pet than Fluffy the deathclaw!”

Despite Sole’s desperate pleas, Deacon crouched in front of the animal and held out his hand.

“Who’s a good boy! You are!” He cooed, “Aren’t you, buddy?”

The annoyed animal turned around and sprayed an unsuspecting and an irritated Sole.

“OH GOD; IT BURNS,” Deacon cried, “I take that back! Fluffy is my one and only!”

Danse:

“Isn’t that a skunk?” Danse asked, confused, “I thought those went extinct shortly after the war.”

Danse began to approach the animal with caution.

“Maybe we should collect a sample of its DNA for Scribe Neriah,” Danse suggested before shaking his head and backing away.

“No,” he revoked, “I am fully aware of what these creatures are capable of. Disturbing it would be foolish.”

Unfortunately, the pair had already encroached on the animal’s territory. The irked skunk turned around and sprayed them.

“This stench is putrid,” Danse coughed, “Retreat— now!”

Piper:

“I’ve seen pictures of those animals in some of the burnt magazines Nat and I have collected over the years. Can’t remember what they’re called though,” Piper thought for a moment, “Ferret?”

The animal turned around and sprayed the unsuspecting reporter.

“What the—urrp,” she she retched, desperately trying to suppress vomit. Unfortunately, the powerful stench overwhelmed Piper, who ran to a nearby bush and hurled.

Maccready:

“What is that thing!?” MacCready gasped, taking a few steps backwards, “Is it some kinda hairy molerat?”

Unfortunately, he and Sole were both unable to avoid the putrid stench emitted from the radioactive mammal.

The pair gagged, tears streaming from both their eyes.

“This is the...worst thing...” MacCready tried to choke out, gagging, “...I have ever...smelled.”

Nick:

“A skunk?” Nick inquired, “I wasn’t aware they still existed. That’s unfortunate.”

The creature tensed up, and the detective immediately sensed the impending spray.

“I think we may have overstayed our welcome...”

The skunk suddenly turned around and sprayed the companions.

“That smell is even more revolting than I remember,” Nick choked, “The rads mixed with it’s natural stench pack a damn punch.”

Curie:

“I believe zat ees a zkunk, non?” Curie asked, “I know zey ‘ave powerul anal glands zat release a ‘orrible oder. We zhould be careful, [Madame/Monsieur].”

Just as she said that, the skunk turned around and sprayed the pair.

“Oh my...!” Curie cried, “Zat ees ze worst stench I ‘ave ever ‘ad ze displeasure of experiencing!”

Strong:

“What this thing, human?” Strong asked. “Taste good?”

Sole begged Strong to leave the animal alone, but the supermutant ignored his friend. He picked up the animal, which prompted it to immediately spray him.

“WHAT THAT STINK!?” Strong cried, violently chucking the skunk into an eternal nap, “SMELL WORSE THAN HUNDRED ROTTING MEATS.”

Hancock:

“Oh shit,” Hancock exclaimed, ”That a skunk?”

Sole nodded and the ghoul chuckled.

“If we could collect some of it’s gas, we could craft a damn powerful chem...I think we may be onto something.”

Sole protested, and Hancock frowned.

“Is the stench really that bad?” the ghouls laughed, “I mean I huff Brahmin shit out of an inhaler. How much worse can it be?”

Before Sole could reply, the skunk turned around and unleashed it’s vile spray upon the two companions.

“Oh God—“ Hancock chocked, “Much worse. This is awful. Bail!”

Preston:

“General, I’ve heard about these creatures, skunks?” the Colonel asked, “We should leave while we can.”

As Sole and Preston began to slowly creep away, the Colonel stepped on a stick.

The snap startled the skunk and it drowned the two companions in it’s gag-inducing stench.

“Oh god—“ Preston coughed, “I’m so sorry. I didn’t see that stick.”

Gage:

“A new species, huh? It’s fur and teeth could be sold for a lotta caps, boss,” Gage laughed.

Sole tried to shut down the idea, but Gage remained firm.

“Easy target,” Gage said, scrutinizing the creature, “Ain’t too big. Don’t see any sharp teeth or big claws or nothin. It’s free fuckin money.”

Gage crept up on the skunk, despite Sole’s desperate pleas.

“Come to daddy,” Gage rasped, “Oh man, we’re gonna be high rollers, boss.”

Just then, the skunk turned around and sprayed the raider in the face.

“MY OTHER FUCKING EYE!!” he screamed before falling backwards, “ARGH. IT SMELLS LIKE SHIT, TOO!”

Ada:

“I am not sure what this creature is, [sir/ma’am], but I can tell you that it is probably dangerous. Our best course of action would be to eliminate it.”

The robot approached the skunk with her electrified arms, and went in for the stun.

Unfortunately, the skunk evaded her attack and unleashed its spray upon Ada and Sole.

“I have detected a sudden jump in radiation, [sir/ma’am],” Ada obliviously announced to a gagging Sole, “Perhaps you should take some Rad X to combat the chemicals.”

Longfellow:

“New game. Wonder if the meat’s any good,” Longfellow stated, raising his rifle.

Before Sole could protest, the Harborman chuckled.

“I’m just kidding ya. I’m no fool,” he stated, “I have a shelf full of encyclopedias of Pre-War game in my cabin.”

Unfortunately, the skunk did not respond well to all of this commotion. It turned around and sprayed Old Longfellow and Sole.

“Blargh!” Longfellow heaved, “Gotta drown out this stench.”

The old man whipped out his trust bottle of whiskey and chugged.

“Nothin a bottle of liquor can’t fix.”

X6-88:

“Careful, [sir/ma’am],” X6 warned, sticking his arm out to prevent Sole from walking any further.

“The Institute’s BioScience division created this creature to use as a weapon,” the Courser explained, “It’s glands have been infused with nuclear material to make its spray radioactive. This one must have escaped.”

Before X6 and Sole could evacuate, however, the skunk turned around and sprayed them.

“Shit! Radation,” the Courser cursed, “That’s not good. We have to get out of here right now, [sir/ma’am].”

Codsworth:

“S-Skunk!” Codsworth gasped, backing into Sole, “I don’t have any tomato soup on me to mask the stench either!”

At that moment, the skunk turned around and sprayed the pair.

“OH MY! The oder is much more offensive than I recall!” Codsworth coughed, “We’re going to need a swimming pool full of tomato soup to eliminate this ghastly stink!”

Cait:

“What do ye suppose that is, darlin?” Cait asked, “Some sorta ugly cat?”

The unprovoked skunk turned around and sprayed the pair.

Sole gagged violently, as Cait watched on in confusion.

“What ye gaggin for? Ye get food poisoning from those molerat chunks I cooked up earlier?”

Sole stared at her in confusion until they were able to recuperate from the attack. They then asked the redhead if she smelled the spray.

“Oh no, I didn’t smell a thing,” Cait cackled, “Me nostrils are clogged to the brim! After all, it is ragweed season and I have allergies!”
