My beautiful wife Rosa gave me this holotape program to keep my thoughts on. I told her I didn't need anything for my birthday, but I guess I'll give it a try.

My old commanding officer, Lieutenant Barker called me today, said he had something important to discuss with me. Wants me to meet him at the diner in Concord for dinner.

Dinner with Lt. Barker was unusual. He said that Central Command was putting together a contingency plan for the Boston area in case the bombs fell. Said they wanted me to help in the rebuilding of the area if something were to happen, on account of my proximity to the vault. Even said if I took them up on the offer, we'd get guaranteed entry to the vault. Of course I said yes. Just have wait for the Vault-Tec rep. to stop by and confirm my info.
