Bunker Alpha

"Listen up you maggots! My name is general Barnaky. It is my job to make you sorry excuses of human beings into capable and proud member of the brotherhood of steel" He said as he march back and forth in front of a large gathering of new recruits from nearby settlements and tribes. "Each of you have been sent here because your community thought that you had something special about you, that made them want to give you up the first chance they got" He kept on ranting. "As of this moment, you roaches have been earning the title of initiate. And therefore you are now part of something bigger then whatever your former deadbeat life could have lead to. As Initiates you are only permitted to stay at this bunker. Under no circumstances are you allowed to go home to mommy whenever you feel the brotherhood is being to hard at you. Doing so will be counted as desertion and there will be serious consequences, which involves execution or a week in the hole depending on your service record"

The news of possible execution for just walking home surprised most of the initiates, wondering if joining up was a good idea or not.

"Normally brotherhood soldiers are trained and educated from the moment they can walk, but since we have no idea in hell on where you pathetic scumbags lie in the terms of combat, strategy and survival, you will all be receiving basic training in firearms, explosive, ambush and much more that will be covered in due time. Now, any of you sun worshiper got a curious mind, cause now is your chance to satisfy it" He stopped and looked over them.

One woman raised her hand and got permission to talk. "When do we get out on missions?"

"When you have completed your basic training and have been settle into squads. And remember, just because you get permission to go on missions, does not mean your training is over. The missions you will be tasked in will be your final initiation into the ranks of the brotherhood. We need to see if you halfwits can properly represent the brotherhood out there in the unforgiving waste both military and diplomatic. The elders put value in making the brotherhood an attractive institution to be a part of, so do your utmost to behave not like a bunch of trigger happy teenagers, and more as professional members. Anything else?"

After 30 seconds of silence Barnaky continued. "You are dismissed, use the time to get familiar with the bunker's facilitys and your fellow initiates" he then turned around to exit the room, but looked backed at them and said "Oh and one more thing initiates. Welcome to the brotherhood of steel" and then he left.

The initiates all began to look at each other and began to get to know each other, while one man just went straight for the exit, catching the attention of a curious initiate.

Bunker Alpha: locker room

The fellow who left were at his newly appointed locker, checking what new stuff they gave them. It was some leather armor with the brotherhood logo on the back and on the right shoulder.

"Training leather" he quickly turned around slightly startled at the sudden feminine voice from behind him. He looked around and saw a woman of equal height with light tan skin, green eyes and black hair that looked like it reached her back.

He looked confused at her "What?"

She pointed at the uniform in his open locker. "They give us whatever makeshift leather armor they can find and call it a uniform to tarnish in training" she said in a matter of fact kind of tone.

He nodded with a small smile "Yeah. My town's own militia has better armor then this"

She looked at him with a curious glint in her eyes. "What town are you from?"

"Starkport. It's a small settlement west of here. You?"

"Highgate. I heard of Starkport. Some little community, trying to expand itself. Thought they were to small to let their young join the brotherhood" she said mildly surprised.

"Yeah my town can't really spare anyone to join so we help mostly with food and the occasional shelter for brotherhood patrols. Through the brotherhood wanted at least one to represent the town they are protecting, so I joined up" he explained.

It caused her to raise an eyebrow "Did you join because you wanted to or felt like you had to?"

He looked down a bit, thinking it through a bit. He looked up at her again "I guess it is a bit of both. I wanted to get out a bit and see what the rest of wasteland is. But I also wanted to protect my people. So I figured this is the best option" he explained. He then gave her a curious look and asked. "What brings a city girl out here?"

She shrug and said "I come from an influential with a lot of ties to businesses and our guard. Figure they want some tie to the brotherhood other then smile and promises. So I got picked to join the ranks of this up and coming military force" she answered with a little bitterness hidden behind a slight smile.

This surprised him and it could be seen on his face which she just laughed off. "I don't mind it really. I needed a change in scenery anyway, and I know how to handle a rifle so this is perfect for me" she gave a warm smile as she reassured him.

He looked to have calm down a bit and smiled a bit. He held out his hand "My name is Kaiden"

She shook his hand and said "Victoria" She looked him up and down a bit. "So what are ya good at?" She asked a bit excited.

"What?"

"In a fight. Me I prefer sniping, through I can handle a pistol well enough" she seemed to gleam at the mention of her combat prowess.

"Well my dad is a part of our militia back home, so he taught me how to use shotguns, SMGs and assault rifles" he answered with a smile.

"So, a grunt of all trades then. Well we will see soon if small town boys can hit a damn" she flashed him a teasing smile. "Listen I'm going to the shooting range, showing these tribesmen how to shoot a damn. You are welcome to join, who knows you might learn a thing or two" She offered with a genuine smile.

He gave her an apologetic look "Thanks, but I need to clean out my guns. Doubt the officers will look kindly on us if our own guns jammed"

Now it was her turn to raise her eyebrows in surprise "Wait you brought your own guns too?" She asked in disbelief.

He nodded and turned around to his locker and picked up what he was looking for. He turned to her to show her a sawed off shotgun and a weird looking pistol. He handed her the pistol as she checked out the design. "Wait this pistol uses 5,56 rounds" She said, seeming more surprised then confused.

"My dad bought it off a caravan. The trader claimed he was from a distant land from the west called El Ay. He also claimed that you could see the ocean from there" He then asked "Did you bring your own guns?"

She nodded quite eagerly "My custom made hunting rifle. I outfitted it a high powered scope and silencer. I also got a glock for close encounters, through I would not mind that piece there" she eyed at his 5.56 pistol.

He chuckle lightly as he holster the pistol while carrying the sawed off in his left hand. "Don't you got some tribesmen to show off to?"

She nodded and open up her locker which just happen to be next to his. She took out her rifle with some spare ammo and began to head as she said "I see you in training Kaiden"

He did not answer as it seemed like she did not expect an answer. He just turned around and headed for the workshop.


As she made her way into the shooting range, she saw some initiates all ready trying out their skills or lack of skill if you ask Victoria. She noticed a girl with shoulder length blonde hair, slightly shorter then herself who were trying out a pump action shotgun but it looked like it was her first time ever using it. Victoria stopped a moment to see how this girl could handle a shotgun. The girl saw the target and took aim quickly and fired.

But Victoria burst out laughing when the girl was not prepared for the recoil which startled the poor woman that she fell on her back with a yelp and dropped the gun. Taking heavy breaths she noticed the laughter coming from Victoria and looked at her with a hurt look on her face. A woman beside her with a round face and short dark hair gently pulled the poor woman up and sent a nasty look at the laughing Victoria.

"Ya got nothing better to do then stand there and laugh?!" She called out to her.

Victoria who had a wide grin on her face, held up her hands a bit "Easy there. Just not everyday I see someone as green as her handling a shotgun like that"

The blonde looked still little shaken "I have never touched a gun before! I was a doctor's assistant for crying out loud! I had hoped I would be scribe but turns out they needed medics instead of doctors" She pouted as she picked up her shotgun.

Victoria then looked to the other girl "And what about you huh?"

The girl seemed still not to like Victoria very much, judging from her expression, but decided to be civil. "Mechanic, the brotherhood heard of my dad's workshop in a city close to here and thought they could use soldiers with mechanical skill. Plus I heard they got a bunch cars from the pre war era up and working and want those who know how to fix them to also drive them"

"Nice!" Victoria said as she brought up her hand for a high five, but lowered her hand and her mood when the girl did not want to return the favor. "Any reason why you are here and not in the garage then?" She asked in a bitter tone.

"They want all drivers to handle small arms, like pistols and SMGs. Anything that is easy to whip out and fire from the drivers seat" She answered as she return to her target practice as she started to fire upon her target dummy and hit almost half of the time. Victoria looked back at the blonde and saw that she was about to make the same mistake again. So she step up behind the girl with open arms and waited for what seemed inevitable. And sure enough it happen.

The girl flew back dropping her shotgun in the proces, but was catched by Victoria who looked a bit down to her "First time it's funny, a second time it's just painful to watch"

The blonde quickly flew up and stepped away from Victoria. "I don't need you to watch over my shoulder!"

Victoria raised her right brow "Really? Cause you sure need the help. Just let me show you how it is do-" She was caught off by the other woman

"How about you just fuck off you condescending cunt!"

This got Victoria's attention "Oh is that how it is going to be?" She mockingly asked As they got stood directly in front of each other.

"Alright you apes knock that shit off!" Called out a familiar voice. None other than Barnaky came in, in full power armor. All of the initiates stood up straight. Barnaky grabbed out to pull in a random initiate up close to him with one hand. The initiate was clearly frightened and shock. You! Point out who is responsible for this ruckus!" He demanded. The young man quickly pointed at Victoria. The general let go of the frightened man and made a beeline towards Victoria. He was half a arms length away from her but she could feel him tower over her and look down on her. "Is it true?" He asked in a low tone.

She looked up at him "Well what happen was" he cut her off

"Yes or no initiate?!" He yelled

"Well yes but"

"No buts!" You will go out in the hall with your rifle above your head while standing on one leg. Do you get me?!" He order

She just looked at him in confusion "What?"

This time he went up to he so their foreheads touched and yelled "Do you get me?!"

She quickly nodded and she turned around to pick up her rifle and walked off. Barnaky looked back at the gathered initiates. "Usually there are two to start a conflict. Who else was involved?"

The two girls stepped forward. "Your names"

"Beth" said the dark haired one. "Liz" said the blonde

He nodded "Good to know" and he walked off.


Alpha bunker: hallway

As Kaiden walked out of the workshop, satisfy with his work of cleaning his guns ran into Victoria standing on one leg, and with her arms and rifle above her head.

He raised an eyebrow and asked "Should I know how this happen?"

"A small misunderstanding" Was her reply.

"Did you at least ask how long you have to stay like this?"

She then looked with wide eyes straight ahead "Shit!" to which he laughed at.

"Something amusing initiate?!" Asked Barnaky as he walked up to them.

Kaiden had a nervous look on his face and said "Oh, um no sir"

Barnaky then looked at Victoria "You girl. Who is this boy to you?"

She looked nervously at both of them "Uhh a friend I guess" he just slowly nodded and walked off leaving the two.

Kaiden turned to her and said "You forgot to asked how long you have to do that" to which her only reply was a piercing stare she sent him.


A/N

I plan to use the characters that I make as central characters but I am open to other characters that you can come up with. For those who pick ghoul and super mutants as their oc, be aware they probably won't show up for awhile. Ghouls might turn up sooner if I feel to mix it up a bit, but super mutants will have to take some work.
