It was like any other boring day in the vault, Mason had just woke up, looking at his clock on his bed stand he saw it was 9:30, 10 minutes before class started, he had already missed breakfast and going from his room to the classroom, D201, took about 7 minutes on a good day.

"Well, that's just great, piece of shit alarm doesn't even work anymore!"

After getting up and getting on a new jumpsuit he left heading for A120, his classroom, Luckily everyone was already at their classes so Mason didn't have to deal with the traffic jam that normally filled up the vaults tight corridors, Mason had arrived at 9:38, but his teacher, Mr. Brotch called him over.

"So Mason late once again it seems, whats the excuse this time?" He asked with a mixed look of disappointment and anger

"Sir, i'm sorry but my alarm clock broke and i barely woke up to get here!"

"Ok i understand but you'll be serving detention after class, now go sit down."

Once Mason sat down Brotch started to give the class their instructions and today Mason would be taking the G.O.A.T exam, a very important test that would determine what job you would be doing for the rest of your life, Mason was not even a quarter way done when he noticed the large trail of sweat running down his back, Mason stopped concentrating on his dad had said this morning.

"Son, i'm going to tell you the truth, the goat it's like no other test ever i want you to think very carefully and hard about each answer, trust me son it'll pay off."

What did his dad mean that's it like no other test, he knew that it determined your future but surely he didn't need to worry that badly, but he didn't want to risk it so he started working on his test again. At 11:30 everyone had finished and Mason decided to turn his in last so he could talk to Brotch about the G.O.A.T, once he handed it in he stared at the questions, then would mark something.

"Well it looks like you are going to be a assistant with Stanley in the maintenance good luck."

"What no! What happened,what did i do wrong?"

"Ok look, i don't like these test either so i'll bump it up to medical assistant, i know that's what you wanted it to be, now leave and do something else."

"Thanks"

Mason quickly left the room and went down to the cafeteria where he meet up with his friend, Oliver and took a seat next to him

"So how was the goat? He asked

"Good, i was pretty nervous though, how about you?"

"I did ok, anyways i'll catch up with you later, see you later"

For the next 20 minutes mason eat alone thinking about the test and the vault itself, until Amata showed up, Mason liked Amata they had been friends since he was a baby, but now they often didn't see each other due to the overseer.

"Hi Amata whats up?"

"Oh, well i saw that you were sitting alone and thought you might had wanted company."

"Ok, cool you kno-" Mason was cut off by the overseers loud voice

"Amata, what are you doing i told you not to be talking to him, and as for you mason you are ordered to return to your room, Now!" The overseer said with his angry voice and eyes that could kill, not wanting to get put inside of a cell he angryly walked off cursing his name until he got to his room and thought, thought about the outside world until he fell asleep.

3 years later

"GET UP! Come on you have to get up dammit!"

Mason quickly bolted up to the sound of someone yelling at him, he saw that it was Amata and it looked like she was scared or panicing about something.

"Wha-whats wrong Amata and what's with the sirens?"

"Oh god, the guards killed Jonas, they murder him because of your dad leaving!"

What she had just said hit Mason like a brick, his dad leaving that's impossible and why even if he could would he leave?

"Amata what do you mean my dad left!"

"Your dad opened the vault door somehow and fled, the guards are looking for you as well, but i know of a way to get you out of here."

"Ok and that is?"

"There's a tunnel under my dads desk in the overseers room, the computer terminal controls it, i don't know what the password is though only Jonas and he knows it, also i stole his gun you should have it in case you get caught good luck."

"You to"

After Mason gave his final goodbye he left and took a shortcut through the bathrooms, the safest and fastest way to dads old lab, he exited the bathrooms but a guard spotted him, quickly without thinking Mason fired 9 rounds 4 of which missed or hit his vest but the other 5 hit unprotected spots and the guard quickly collapsed, not wanting to stick around he fled up stairs where he got to the main lobby, inside he saw a couple trying to discuss how to get out of the vault when the husband took off followed by the women both getting shot and killed by guards, sickened by what he just saw he ran to the stuck sliding door release bullets wildly towards the two guards.

Mason got to the corridor of the prison where he heard Amata, and the overseer talking, knowing what was going on he breach the room and fired 3 rounds at the guard and knocked the overseer over.

"WHATS THE COMPUTER PASSWORD!" Mason yelled at him with gun to his head

"I'll never tell you boy, you'll never get it out of me"

"Fine then i guess Amata will blame what happens to her on you"

Ok fine! The password is Amata. Now go you monster!"

With the password now secured he went down the hall to the overseers office after moving Jonas body out of the way, once he enter the office he ran to the terminal and entered the password. Success now he only had a little more to go before meeting the outside world. After closing the desk behind him he went through a dark corridor and finally to the door control room, In front of him stood the panel to open it.

"No going back now"

With that being said the door slowing open, the rusty gears turning and the sound of it stopping in place, music to his ears. But now he had a much greater task, he had to find his father.
