With their conversation concluded, Sico and Preston parted ways, each focused on their respective tasks to prepare the Minutemen for the deployment of the new vehicle. As they worked towards this goal, they knew that the fuel-powered truck would play a pivotal role in strengthening the Minutemen's capabilities and expanding their reach in the Commonwealth.
After parting ways with Preston, Sico made his way to Nora's office in the Minutemen HQ to report on the progress of the fuel-powered truck project. He found Nora reviewing reports at her desk, and he approached her with a sense of accomplishment.

Sico: "Sturges, good to see you. I need your expertise on a project related to the fuel-powered truck. We'll need a designated area for parking the truck and storing the fuel. Do you think you and your team could build something suitable for that purpose?"
Sturges looked up from his work, considering Sico's request before nodding enthusiastically.
Sturges: "Sure thing, Sico! We can definitely work on that. I'll gather my team and start planning the layout for the parking area and fuel storage facility. It's important to have a secure and accessible space for the truck and fuel."
Sico thanked Sturges for his willingness to take on the project and emphasized the importance of ensuring the area was well-designed and efficiently organized.
Sico: "Great, Sturges. Let's make sure it's well-planned and built to last. We'll need it to accommodate the truck and store enough fuel for our operations. Keep me updated on the progress, and let me know if you need any assistance."
Sturges nodded in agreement, already formulating ideas for the parking area and fuel storage facility. Sico left him to his work, confident that Sturges and his team would handle the project with their usual skill and dedication.
After discussing the fuel-powered truck's parking and fuel storage with Sturges, Sico proceeded to the militia department to meet with Preston. He found Preston coordinating various activities, and he approached him to discuss overseeing the training for Minutemen to operate the truck.
Sico: "Preston, I've just spoken with Sturges about setting up the parking and fuel storage for the truck. Now, we need to focus on training Minutemen to operate it. Have you made any progress on that front?"
Preston looked up from his tasks, a determined expression on his face as he addressed Sico.
Preston: "Yes, Sico, we're making headway. We've identified a group of volunteers eager to learn and handle the truck. We're sorting through their experience levels to tailor the training accordingly."
Sico nodded, acknowledging Preston's efforts and the importance of selecting suitable candidates for training.
Sico: "That's good to hear. Safety is paramount, so we need to ensure the drivers are well-prepared. Let's organize the training sessions and focus on both theoretical knowledge and practical skills."
Preston agreed, already planning the training regimen to cover all necessary aspects of operating the truck safely and efficiently.
Preston: "Absolutely, Sico. We'll cover everything from vehicle mechanics to road safety and handling. I'll coordinate with the volunteers and set up the training schedule. We'll make sure they're ready for the responsibility."
Sico expressed his gratitude for Preston's dedication and emphasized the importance of thorough training.
Sico: "Thank you, Preston. Your efforts are crucial to the success of this project. Let me know if you need any support, and keep me updated on the progress of the training."
Sico nodded in appreciation of Preston's dedication before turning his attention to the logistics of the training program.
Sico: "Preston, how long do you estimate the training will take?"
Preston considered the question before responding.
Preston: "Given that most of our volunteers have only theoretical knowledge and no real experience with driving, I'd say it will take about a month to ensure they're fully proficient in operating the truck."
Sico acknowledged Preston's assessment, understanding the importance of thorough training to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the Minutemen drivers.
Sico: "Understood, Preston. Let's make sure they receive comprehensive training during that time. Safety is paramount, and we want our drivers to be fully prepared before they take the wheel."
