The Logs of Paladin Pantapoulos

by Reitsch

These are the Logs of Paladin Christos Pantapoulos of the Carolina Brotherhood of Steel. I was upset that Bethesda never went to the Southeast with Fallout, so here it is. I hope you enjoy.

This is Paladin Christos Pantopoulos, Carolina Brotherhood of Steel, Identification Number 99010. The Lake Murray Chapter is currently commanded by Elder O'Brien, Star Paladin Welch, and Proctor Sampson. We currently have 80 Air Force Personnel, 213 Army Personnel, 32 Scribes, and 12 Vertibirds. I am taking over recon squad Veritas from Knight-Commander Horthy after a Whiskerfish tore his guts out. We are currently stationed in the surprisingly well-preserved Pilgrim Lutheran Church, on the Lexington side of the dam, which also somehow survived the war. The Chinese tried to destroy it, but the bomb they dropped was a dud, and it's lodged into the side of the dam. Columbia also somewhat survived, but West Columbia was wrecked in the ensuing panic. Chapin received a direct hit and is now a ghoul-infested ruin. The local wildlife has been negatively affected by this, and the lake is now mainly populated by Lakelurks and Whiskerfish. Unlike most other areas, however, the Fauna is still mostly alive, however grossly mutated by radiation. We're currently trying to push across the dam and into Irmo, which is under rule of a local gang called the Planters. They are extremely hostile, and currently control the area stretching from Irmo to Ballentine. We were sent down here from the Capital Wasteland after hearing reports of suspicious signals originating from the ruins of West Columbia. However, we are unable to investigate the signal due to the hostile nature of the wildlife.

The local populace is extremely prejudiced against humans of African Descent, but does not mind Intelligent Ghouls. As such, many Negroes deliberately ghoulify themselves to avoid this prejudice. The inhabitants have also taken to calling these people a racial slur that I will not dignify by putting in this entry. They even print their own currency. As far as we can tell, this culture extends through the entire Southeast. They are not openly hostile to us, but are also not extremely happy with the idea of letting an outside military organization enter one of their largest cities. We have reason to suspect that they are responsible for the strange signals emanating from West Columbia. For now, though, we don't know. This is Paladin Christos Pantopoulos, Carolina Brotherhood of Steel, Identification Number 99010, signing off.█
