Well, I remember this story, must have it in an anthology somewhere. Its is the inspiration of the Star Trek TOS episode by the same title (it shows when you know the short story). However I never figure the Outsider as such a metalic sphere, more like a kind of giant virus with tentacles.

I took some liberties with the descriptions and went a little more abstract with the "roller" and by putting a loin cloth on him rather than having him nekid

Bob Carson is the pilot of a small one-man scout ship on the outskirts of the fleet. While engaging his Outsider counterpart in battle, he blacks out. When he awakens, he finds himself naked in a small enclosed, circular area about 250 yards (230Β m) across. Other than vegetation and blue sand, he sees in the distance only a red sphere about 1 yard (0.91Β m) in diameter. The sphere turns out to be an Outsider, with several dozen fully retractable thin tentacles to manipulate objects. Based on its method of movement, Carson labels it a "Roller".


Well done!Β Β

I also love Frederic Brown. I remember one of his short story: earth and humans have been destroyed. One day aliens discover earth and they started to search among ruins. And they discover a cinema. By chance they succeed to watch a movie and they see Mickey mouse on the screen. They are very happy and conclude earth was firstΒ  inhabited by beings with big black ears

Story wise I don't like it as much as 3, New Vegas, or better yet combine them into Tale of Two Wastelands. I was always a lone wanderer. In Fallout 4 you build settlements for annoying NPCs and defend them. They are completely useless in a fight. Supplies are really hard to come by too. There are mods that make it easier. You just won't get your achievements if you use them. Β
