Chapter 1: the lost friend

I remember when I was a kid, a few years ago. When I had just met my best friend Cahill, he was a good person, but we got separated, when we encountered a deathclaw, I hear screams, but that could have been anyone in my team, "you see, Ethan I had a team of 15, and they all got wiped out by 1 death claw" I had been standing here trying to convince my other mate Ethan to not go and hunt for the deathclaw that possibly killed Cahill. "what makes you sure that Cahill is still alive?" Ethan said to me as he was packing his gear. "he doesn't die that easy"

"well anyway, where was the death claw?" Ethan said as he picked up his rifle, "like I said I'm n- ""where" he cut me off, that mother fucker. But there was no point in trying to stop him, you see, Ethan was the kind of guy that say YOLO BRO, to everything, but he didn't have a funny look on his face, it was the face of a soldier. "vault 327, but I'm going with you, I can't let another friend die"

Jake looked to me "but what ab- "I shot a cold stare, "you coming" I said calmly to Jake. Jake was shifting himself, my left eye was twitching, "then let's go" we began to walk to the lost vault 327

We made it to vault 327, it was made for the occupants to make weapons to support the war, and it worked for some time, until raiders came, now there are looters that come through every day at exactly noon. Jake bumped my shoulder "what time do the raiders come?"

"noon" I said

"ok, then what time is it"

"noon"

"well shit"

I knew that Jake wanted to wing it, but Ethan hasn't been at esca since we left, "Ethan, you need to loosen up"

"let's just go"

We started to walk through the vault. We made it to where I last saw Cahill, there is a lot of blood, "stay here, I'm going to look around" I went and followed the trail of blood to an infirmary, there was a kid 2 deep cuts on him, he had a gun on him, empty it seems he was wearing a vault jump suit, couldn't tell what number it was coved by blood. "hey does anyone… feel. weir-" I heard Ethan fall to the ground. "mother… Fu- "Jake passed out. "why are they using sleeping gas" I said to myself.

About 5 minutes passed, I was still conches, somehow I don't think the gas affects me, strange, very, very strange, I took out my air purifier that made a long time ago, and made a few mods to it. "now it can measure the amount of chemicals in the air." hmm, even the scanners can't read it." What kind of chemical is this? I don't feel weak, I, I feel. Strong. I looked at the scanner again and made even more mods. "how does this make people pass out." I found out that its 78% oxygen and 22% sulphur. So I'm going to guess that this is meant to rest ice oxygen flow to the brain, so the sulphur blocks air flow to the lungs, and the increased oxygen makes it so that they don't die? That's my best guess. I started to feel a bit off. "ah, shit, looks like, like it, still, affects me, better, save, data" I went from feeling strong to feeling like I was hit by a car.

"and sav- "

"-end" what the hell, its dark and I can't move, what the hell is going on. "where did you find this" some guy was talking to me? Who? What the fuck does he want? "SPEAK" there was a load smack. And a grunt, "what the fuck do you want from us?" it was Jake, it sounded like he was crying.

"where did your friend find this tape" tape? Did he go through my shit that mother fucker? "why don't you go and ask him" Jake says

That guy took off my blind fold, I was in the back of a truck, amassing, it was running, it has wheels. "where did you find this tape" says the bandit, or what looks like a bandit, since his face was covered, "then tell me what's of the tape, I have quite a few" I said, he proceeded to graph a tape recorder, and put a tape in.

"log 423, vie been stuck in this vault for ever, and I feel like I'm starting to go crazy. All of the farms are working, water purifications working, power generation is still working, somehow. But since we started to have raider attacks, I've been carrying my gun around, a pipe rife, and my armed vault 737 suit. And no I'm don't live in a vault, it's just very comfortable to wear. END OF TRANSMISSION"

"so where the fuck did you find it?" "I found it after fighting a death claw" the bandit stared in shock, then punched me in the face, I wasn't faced, I hadn't had my meds for a few hours, so I was out of it. The truck stopped, "hey! What the fucks going on why did we stop?" one of the bandits says, the other was speechless then yelled. "DEATHCLAW, RUN" the bandits just started to run, and took Ethan and Jake with them, but I heard them say. "no point in taking him, he's no good"

They, left without hesitation. I just started to laugh. "hehehehehehehehe, hahahahahahaha, HAHAHAHAHAHA. YOUR ALL GOING TO DIE" yeah I kind of lost it, because they didn't take my shit with them, they left my gun here, and a knife so I cut myself out, grabbed, my gun and charged at the death claw, didn't think twice, I had the biggest grin on my face. HAD

13 hours went by and I was in a bad spot I was hurt really bad, and missing an arm, had my rifle and my sword, I had lost a lot of blood, so I wasn't thinking straight, and I had a frag grenade, my best shot was to either kill myself and pliably kill the death claw or run, yeah I was too out of it to think so I pulled the pin and threw the grenade, then grabbed my sword and charged, but there was a guy in full t-45f power armor, just sitting and watching. I ignored him and charged anyway. I just hoped that I might kill this some of a bitch
