War... War never changes
It was October 23, 2077. The Resource Wars have finally ended, in January earlier that year, when American troops defeated the Chinese in the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska. America was in recovery at this point, every American hoping that things would, one day, soon, get better.
Little did they know, that all hell was about to break loose.
On that day, at 9:42 AM Eastern time, the first nuclear detonations in Pennsylvania and New York were announced. Following that... the rest of the world. In more than two hours, the world was reduced into barren, irradiated wasteland. This event forever more became known as the Great War. The war to end all wars, taking the human race down with it...
Exactly 210 years later, in what remains of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (now simply called "The Commonwealth"), Daniel Curtis, the Sole Survivor of Vault 111, emerged from his icy tomb, having been frozen for near two centuries. All the other residents were deceased. His friends, his neighbors... his wife, Nora... save one. His son, Shaun, whom was less than a year old when they were sealed into the Vault. When he rose from his frigid slumber, he was dead set on finding him. No matter what the cost would be. So, with his Vault 111 jumpsuit on his body, 10mm pistol in hand, he rose to the surface after so many years, a near unstoppable determination in his heart.
He could hardly believe his eyes, when he witnessed what remained of his world. His home. Now reduced to smoldering ruins of what once was, and what never will be again.
Even after nearly two years, in 2289, a small shard of doubt resided within him. Every morning, he awoke, thinking 'What a God-awful nightmare.' Then, he remembers that it wasn't a dream, and that he was living that nightmare. And... he accepts it. Besides, there's no point dwelling on the past. After all, he was the General of the Commonwealth Minutemen. He had a job to do.
