Quiet, peaceful quiet, oh how I miss it, even war fair war with two fair sides charging at each other to certain death. Welcome to city 12, Dystopia, one of the few remaining after the thermo-nuclear war. Not actually city twelve, there are only 7 cities, but it seems to have kept it's name. Surviving out here is harsh, little water, little food, and the Cybers hanging over your head like an iron fist ready to hit you down back into the sand when you get too high. Running away is not an option, being devoured by Sandcrawler, or dying of thirst is not a good choice. We only survived because of vaults, vault 17 was my vault. With its own water purification systems and artificial farms, I should have never left, and died valiantly defending the vault. From what, what would I protect it from? When I traveled back to the vault I found nothing, the heavy triple titanium reinforced door was melted and was hardened on the floor below me as I went in I found nothing, not a person in sight, everything seemed to be dropped just how they were left, garments on the floor, beds rumpled, breakfasts half eaten, and toys of children left there. The only clue I had to what happened was a half-burnt piece of paper still on a desk

Friends, family, my life, gone. My world which I thought was private , just disappeared, I had left on September 1 the start of September, I had been sent to gather news from the outside world, and if it was safe. Fortunately, the worst of the nuclear hazard had gone, I had managed to get a map and a newspaper to bring back to... to what? The vaporized remains of the place I lived, no I needed a place to stay, a place to think, and I knew just the place. They say a man with nothing to lose is a dangerous man, I am one.
