'In World War Two, many brave young men died trying to stop the Nazis and the Imperial Japanese from taking over the world, my uncle Gordon was one of those men. He was a paratrooper in the Pacific Theater, while in the Philippines he was killed by Japanese forces. 70 years later, I joined the Army to stop ISIS from creating their global caliphate, and thus causing all people to go into hiding and fear for their lives, but after becoming a 5-star general and the world's most beloved person I was betrayed by the extreme leftist politicians who tried to have me murdered, but I had become the first ever Super Soldier outside of a franchise, and also escaped into the Fallout universe in the year 2072, five years before the bombs fell on the earth and ruined it forever. I, of course had to fake my 'existence' officially, which was aided by the 1980's style computer programming and hardware, and then joined the Army and quickly climbed the ranks to become a 5-star general, again, then liberated Anchorage, at the time I was married to Nora, the Sole Survivor's wife, or the Sole Survivor, if you play as her, anyway, I learned this: 'War never changes, only the tools and the tactics change.' I thought to myself in front of a mirror in my 1950's style futuristic bathroom as I got ready for an event that would never happen.

Then Nora, my wife, told me, "Hey there, Handsome~ Say, when we get done here, what say you and I go celebrate our one-year anniversary in the most intimate way we can~" I simply just capture her lips in a deep and passionate kiss slipping my tongue inside her mouth and battling her tongue for dominance. After a few minutes of making out we stopped and I said, "Nora, dear, you know that the bombs will fall today, right?" She nodded and said, "Of course, since you told me and provided proof of that, but I want to have sex with you before that happens." I chuckled and gently kissed her on her forehead then said, "I'm going to go play with our son for a bit. I still say that we should have spelled Shaun's name in the same way as my dad." Nora smiles and says, "If we did that, then you might start trying to shape him to match your father."

I sigh in defeat, as we both know that I would have tried to make our son into a duplicate of my dad, save for his mistakes, but nevertheless still a duplicate of my father, which Nora and I agreed not to do with any of our children, as Nora knew that I missed my family back in my universe, which led her to name our son Shaun Christian Oeder, which was an amalgamation of my uncle Shaun, my step dad's half brother in terms of the spelling, my father for pronunciation of the first name as well as the middle name since he was the first one to have that middle name. Anyway, I left the bathroom and went to Shaun's room to see him and once I got to his crib he cooed and latched on my fingers, playing with them like all babies do, which made me smile and chuckle saying to him, "Son, you may not understand what I am about to say right now, but eventually you will, and once you do, I want you to know that I will always love you and your mother, and I will even go to the depths of hell should someone be foolish enough to try and take you away from us." After I said that I heard Nora say, "Well, aren't we confident, and protective of our family life?" I then turn around and say, "Yes, I am and I know you are too." Just then we heard a British voice say, "SIR! YOU AND MUM NEED TO SEE THIS!!" I then tell Nora in an urgent tone, "Get Shaun and head to the Vault! The fracking Commies are nuking us!"

Normally Nora would get on me for cussing in front of Shaun, but she knew that this was the absolute worst time to do that and simply did as I said as I booked it for Vault 111 even though I knew it was just a cryogenics experiment funded by the government, but Nora insisted that I not screw up the timeline anymore than I already had, so when the poor Vault-Tec sales representative came to add us to the Vault's 'residents' list I accepted the offer and signed the necessary documents for registration. I told Codsworth to initiate the 'Fallout' protocol that I had pre-programed into his list of protocols, which basically forced him to fortify Sanctuary Hills as well as keep my dimensionally transcendental bag of supplies safe and activated the Mr. Gutsy combat sub-routines I 'accidentally' placed in him, though I did keep his Mr. Handy personality and voice, just so that he would be a combination of the two robots.

After running like hell to get to the checkpoint of the Vault I told the man with the clipboard my name as well as my wife's name and Shaun's name and after he checked the list for us let us through while the Vault-Tec sales representative was stuck outside the gate for his own good, unbeknownst to him, though I also knew that he would become a Ghoul, an irradiated human that looks like a corpse, and still be alive after 210 years. Once we got to the elevator to the vault and as it was going down we saw one of the nukes hit and the flash from it as well as felt the irradiated wind blow on us. The elevator went down for what seemed like an eternity, although it was more like about 30 minutes to an hour, before finally reaching the entrance to the vault which had a large gear-shaped door with the number '111' on it in yellow paint and standing in front of it was a man dressed in Vault-Tec security outfits which were little more than a vault jumpsuit with Kevlar vests and a helmet added for protection. This man started to direct us to the door to enter and to stay in an orderly line for the initial scanning before we received our jumpsuits and were led to the cryogenics pod we were assigned to. Of course Shaun started to cry and so I went to calm him down and reassure him that I was there for him, which worked, and finally we were led to our cryopods which were right across from each other, before everything went white and I saw no more of the reality, and instead saw a dream where my family, Nora's family, as well as Nora, Shaun, and I were all together at a barbeque to celebrate Shaun's first birthday party...
