Chapter 1: prologue
Part 1.1: Just got out
It was raining even more trouble. I walked out of the metro, the gunshots burned in my back. Those damn raiders I have no idea where they got fucking armour-piercing rounds but knowing won't change the fact that my T 51-B power armour is Swiss cheese on the back. Well I got out alive that's what counts and even better I got what I needed from the archive I thought to myself while I was tapping the bag that was over my shoulder. I checked my Pipboy, I was just a couple of miles away from the bunker I just hoped I could get there without bleeding empty. I cursed myself for not taking Charon or Amata or even some bloody stimpacks. I like only brought 20 and I headed into the biggest warzone of the capitol wasteland: the mall. I was getting tired and I still was a while from the bunker so I activated to emergency distress call, then I started walking through the rain.
After a walk of half an hour I reached the bunker, the rain was pouring on my head. I had taken of my ghoul mask and my combat helmet. I stumbled into the cave where I came upon the o so familiar square door of the bunker, it had some sort of resemblance to a vault door. I limbed to the keypad and punched in the password: 2:16_omega. The door opened with a big whine, I saw Amata coming towards me and then I collapsed.
Part 1.2 home is where the heart is
I woke up with the smell of medicine, I opened my eyes and saw Amata and doctor Li looking back at me. " hey uh this actually looks kinda creepy girls" I said to them to which they responded laughing: " We were just making sure you're fine, You had 10 bullets in your back of which 5 came back out of your chest." "Don't worry I'll be fine, is the map ok?" I asked. "It's fine don't worry about it Moria and the scribe are analyzing it as we speak." "Good let's go see how far they are." I said to which I jumped from the operating table and felt an amazing pain running through my back. " relax you'll rip your stitches" Amata said preventing I'd fall to the ground in the meanwhile doctor Li had gone and get a crutch as walking aid. "Thanks, anything special I should now about my stitches? Like how to prevent them from ripping?" Li looked at me and said: "Yeah first of all no rough sex" "awwww" me and Amata moaned out together. "Sorry kids and one other thing no fights and if you have to fight where power armour and let the armour do ALL the work not like you usually do put it on full power" "okay okay, relax I'm not planning on fighting now please can I go and have a look at how the scribe and moria are doing" I asked Li. "Okay go ahead there in the computer room" she said pointing at the door. I walked out the door and looked at the bunker. It kept on surprising me on how big it was. There were living almost 500 people in this bunker and we still had plenty of room. I looked around and saw one of the regulators coming in I checked my Pipboy it saw it was 10 in the morning. "home sweet home " I whispered to myself, Before I walked towards the computer room I felt in my left pocket the soft plastic around the hard cardboard reminded me of what I was doing. Then I started walking to the computer room at the end of the hall.
Part 1.3: Planning the trip
I walked into the compute where Moria Brown –the eccentric inventor of megaton- and a brotherhood of steel scribe where scanning the map into the mainframe to then project it onto the wall. "Hey look who's awake" Moria practically jelled while she was running towards me. The scribe walked towards me to shake my hand. While I was shaking it the scribe told me how he was and that it was a great honour to be able to work besides the Lone wanderer. I told him my name was darkhart and asked if we could get back to work. "Of course" the scribe replied as he walked back to the computer. "I understand you want to go to Europe can I ask why?" the scribe asked me. "I figured that there had to be some valuable stuff there" I answered the scribe's question. "Hey you guys the upload is finished care to have a look at the map" Moria interrupted our conversation while she was projecting the map onto wall. I and the scribe turned to the big map of the world. "Zoom in on Europe please Moria" I turned to Moria to see her tapping in the coordinates followed by the Europe filling the complete wall. "So where are you heading darkhart?" the scribe asked me. "Well I was planning on going to England and get the crown jewels." "So you're heading towards London? I think the best option is going by boat but although I doubt you have one" the scribe said. "O don't worry about that" I responded while thinking about the warship in one of the lowest level of the bunker. It took me 5 days to get it into the bunker. And since then we were trying to fix it. "Ok, let's say you have one you'll be out on sea for like 3 months." The scribe explained to me. "Ok can you calculate how what I'll need for a 50 man crew" "No problem, Do you have people who can work on a ship" the scribe asked me. "Yeah I got a couple of men and women that can sail." "It'll cost me a week to calculate everything so you still have some time to relax and heal up from your run in with those raiders" " Yeah I think I'll do that" I said while I was walking out of the computer room. In the hall I heard something I never heard before a loud banging on the door.
