I heard the alarm sound as the vault door slowly rolled to the right, revealing a tunnel around 5 yards in length that led to the outside world. Usually in Vault 29, when you turn 18, you are put into a controlled environment to rebuild society from the ground up. But apparently, ZAX (The super computer that runs vault 29 with robotic helpers) didn't think I would be much of a help to rebuild society. Therefore, he is putting me into the wasteland. Gonzales, one of the "Mister Handy" robots, handed me a rifle repeater. I thanked him, knowing this weapon could soon save my life from whatever lies ahead. I walked through the tunnel, only stopping when I heard the sound of the cog shaped, foot long steel door slid several feet forward, until it locked with a hiss sound. I am now on my own I thought as I walked on.
