War, War Never Changes

by That Forerunner

In the wake of Buy n Large beginning Operation Cleanup, the majority of humanity departed the Earth on luxury starships for what was meant to be a five-year voyage. However, these ships could not fit all, and those that remained behind found their escape from polluted skies in one remaining solution: Vault-Tec's state of the art, eco-friendly Vaults.

1. Prologue

War...War Never Changes

In the year 1945, my great-great grandfather, serving in the army, wondered when he's get to go home to his wife..and the son he'd never seen.

He got his wish, when the US ended World War II, by dropping Atomic bombs on Hiroshima, and Nagasaki.. The world awaited Armageddon, instead..something miraculous happened.

We began to use Atomic energy not as a weapon, but as a nearly limitless source of power. People enjoyed luxuries that were once thought in the realm of science fiction, domestic robots, fusion powered cars, portable computers.

But then, in the 21st century, a company that went by the name of Buy N Large, were able to gain control of most of the worlds government's with there amazing deals and ideas, that provided the governments with huge amounts of money, when Africa join the cause, there status as a state quickly became from poor, too rich. With all the money, Buy N Large had, they made amazing inventions with Atomic energy that changed the world, such as A.I robots, that have a mind of there own, capable of emotions, choice making, and almost anything a human can do.

But in the year 2097 , people awoke from the American dream..years of consumption had lead to massive junkyards that went on for miles and had went beyond the normal limits of the junkyard, covering entire city's in junk that had been gathering for years. All this junk eventually lead to major pollution and started to destroy natural habits across the planet.

The entire world unraveled...Peace, became a distance memory. It is now the year 2105, Earth is on the brink of total destruction, Buy N Large has issued a total evacuation of the planet, but they can't fit all of Humanity in there ships, they could build more, but they simply don't have enough time before a toxic cloud starts to cover the entire planet, unfortunately, my family wasn't one of the lucky ones out of the 10 million staying behind, we are staying behind, and I am afraid, for myself, my wife..for my infant son. Because if my time in the army taught me one thing...

It's that war...war never changes
