I open my eyes and I bang my head on the door of the pod I am in. I punch the door repeatedly and it slowly opens. I fall out of the pod due to my legs feeling numb. I look around the corridors and I find a couple of security batons in a metal box along with some old vault armor. After I get the armor adjusted for my size I look around for any food or water. I don't find any food but the water is still running right so I fill up several glass bottles full and I explore the vault until I am attacked by some giant roaches.
I beat them to death with the security baton I have on hand and I am able to get some edible meat from them. I find a slightly functional stove to cook the meat to be safe. The power seems sporadic at best and I don't know why. I figure out the power problem shortly after I find the generator room, it seems that they are malfunctioning. I would need someone with a major in mechanics to fix them.
I search the vault and I get some rest in one of the beds. I claim the overseer's room as my own and I read through the reports. It seems they all died of fighting and starvation, I gather the bones and I head to the exit to give them a proper burial. On one of the the skeletons of the scientists, I find a Pipboy 3000. To my surprise, it still works. I clean it up and I put it on. I bury the skeletons near the entrance of the vault and I loot the containers around the entrance for anything useful.
I find some old military clothing and an army helmet. Most of the guns are rusted and useless. I head back to Sanctuary Hills to see what has become of my home, to my amazement Codsworth is still working.
"Ah, sir Austin it is good to see you. I have been keeping the yard trimmed for you." Codsworth says in his British accent.
"Codsworth you are still here?" I ask him.
"Why yes sir. Ah it seems to me that you are 210 years late for breakfast give or take a years or so due to a few dents in the ol chronometer. Shall I fetch you something to eat?" Codsworth asks me.
"Thanks Codsworth that sounds nice." I say to him.
Codsworth comes back with a box of cereal. I eat the cereal and I thank Codsworth and we look threw the houses to find anything useful. I find a pipe pistol and some ammunition for it I put it in the pack I found in the supply closet in the vault. We kill some more of those overgrown roaches and some freakishly large flies. I cook the meat and I hear from Codsworth there are some people in Concord.
"Alright Codsworth you stay here and man...err robot the fort and I shall investigate Concord." I say to Codsworth.
I pass over the footbridge that leads out of Sanctuary Hills. I stop at the old minuteman statue but when I look at the statues base I spot a dark olive green duffle bag. I look threw the bag and I find some rope a canteen and some 308 ammunition.
I make my way to Concord I stop at the Red Rocket truck stop. When I get close I notice a German shepherd wandering around the place. I walk up to the truck stop and the dog runs up to me with it's tail wagging.
"Hi boy, what are you doing here?" I ask him.
The dog barks at me while tilting its head. I pet the dogs head and I look around the old shop. Next to a tool chest I find a bolt action rifle. To my luck it takes the 308 round. I find plenty of tools in the shop, I even find some leather pants with a leather jacket. I had just gotten on the road leathers when I hear a rumbling sound and I see the dog acting like something is coming towards us. Suddenly several overgrown mole rats appear from the ground and they rush towards me and the dog. I kick one in the head while I grab a knife off of the counter in the truck stop.
After about ten minutes the mole rats are taken care of. I decided to call the dog Rex because I used to have a dog as a kid with that name. I look around the rest of the truck stop and I see a cave entrance in the side of the hill nearby. I enter and the giger counter starts clicking I see a mole rat that is surrounded by several others that is quite large. I pull out my rifle and I line its head up in the sights. I steady my breathing and I gently squeeze the trigger.
*CRACK*
The bullet soars threw the air and the large mole rat falls dead. The rest of the pack rush towards me and I whip out the knife. Rex takes out one and I stab another in the eye, we get a few cuts and bruises but we make it out fine. I find some more tools and a fusion core that is still usable. I stach the tools in the tool cabinet in the garage and I see the dog looking at Concord. I hear gunshots and I head towards them I sneak into some of the houses and I find some odds and ends along with a guy that has bleed out next to a rectangle metal box. That is sitting on a mattress. I look threw the box and I search the dead man and I find a pipe pistol and some .38 ammo. I find some jet and buffout in the chem box and as I was leaving the house I spot a baseball bat behind the open door.
