Chapter 1
The bright sunlight blinded me for a few seconds, I was only equipped with a vault jumpsuit, my glasses, and the pistol. I looked up to the sky, which was mostly green and cloudy. It was really muggy in this ruined city I was in. my pip boy said this place was called, Ann Arbor. Yes, that's where my vault was built, and where my great great grandfather and mother took shelter from the nuclear blasts. I saw something in the distance, a large metal tower that didn't fit the rest of the ruins.
My trek towards the large spire had only gotten me so far by the 4th hour, and I suspected I was about halfway there, when I saw a large lizard like beast that was unaware of my presence. I snapped a twig though, and the beast charged at me. I braced for impact, but before any could come, I heard a gunshot from a quite large revolver. I looked to see who had saved me, but I could only see a glimpse of a fedora-trenchcoat clad man,And when I blinked he was gone. I got to the settlement fairly quickly after that skirmish.
The sniper above the gate looked at me, and was quite confused. I heard him say "Jinos, We got a kid out here" The radio chattered a bit. "Kid, Just come in and go to the the white building with a yellow door."
The settlement was a small town that had been fortified with large metal walls on 5 sides. I asked around and apparently this place was called "New Arbor". A name that fits for the surrounding area. I walked to the house of white and yellow, wasn't too hard to find. I walked inside, to see a Hispanic man with piercing eyes. "Hello son, Names Jinos, what brings you to New Arbor"
I explained my plight to Jinos, And he scratched his head thinking about something. "so you're just like Avery..." I heard the name Avery and remembered a young man who had been taken out of the vault just like me. I inquired about Avery and he told me that he now lives on the edge of town, as he had settled in New Arbor the moment he got there.
A couple minutes later, I was in the house of Avery and Maria Venici. I was having a chat with Avery about what I should do now that I'm out of the vault. "I tried to get back in, but the machine outside threatened to kill everyone again." "Well, Have you got anything I could use for my quests?"
"Roman, you aren't leaving New arbor are you?" "Yes, I am" "well, if you're set in stone about that, we should get you someone to go with and some armor.
We traveled to the general goods store, where a cheery man was discussing why he doesn't have child size armor. "I could get some fixed up, but it would take a while." We walked to the house of a former raider and asked if he could come with me on my quests. " I guess I could, names Cliff, used to raid around these parts, then I realized that would get me killed pretty quick, so I came to New Arbor seeking retribution, most accepted me, but some still look at me with a glare to this day." He looked at Jinos. We got my armor from the general store, and some armor piercing rounds for my pistol.
Me and cliff had been walking for near 2 hours when we saw a vertibird fly overhead. Cliff looked at it with disgust. "Ugh, The Brotherhood are always taking the good tech around these parts." we kept walking until we saw a small shack. What was inside would astound even me.
