Fawkes's Journal

Where should I begin my tale? Should I start when a lone wanderer rescued me from my metal prison, a place that my brothers said would be my grave. I could begin with the destruction of Raven Rock, the Enclave presence in the Capital Wasteland. No, that story can wait for another volume. My tale begins shortly after the death of the Wanderer, when he sacrificed himself to activate the purifier and let flow the waters of life. His sacrifice created a parallel between he and his father. I will miss him until the day I die.
After his death, I saw no reason to remain in the Capital. Among the traders I had heard of a place, a city untouched by the weapons of the Old World. I could scarcely believe the rumors, but the more I learned and listened I heard tale of a super mutant city in the mountains. That is my destination. I will cross a vast ruin to get to the gates of a city now called "New Vegas"

I have traveled many months and miles but yesterday I was taken upon by a band of my brothers. Their minds were completely gone, making no difficulty in dispatching them from this world. I my many days, I have never say never killed so many, but I mourned them little. As I press in to the interior of this once great land I have seen more insanity than should have been here. The cause is still a mystery to me.
