Chapter 2
It was dark for a few seconds then I saw light through a cage like exterior to the elevator. We got down and were greeted by a man, "Everyone off the platform, we will get you all situated in your new home, Vault 111, a better future underground." We all exited the elevator and were led through a massive gear shaped doorway. I stood in line with Nora and Shaun a lady said, "here, you will need this before we take you further into the vault." I take some sort of suit that had the number 111 on the back, "thanks, uh, what now?" She said just follow the doctor and he led us down the tube-like hallway and into a chamber with pods lining the walls. We were led to the end of the room, I turned to Nora, "Alright, do you want Shaun with you or with me?" She said, "I'll keep him." I leaned down and kissed Shaun's head, then I stood up and kissed Nora. "I love you both." She answered, "We love you too." Then I put my vault suit on and stepped into my pod. The doctor said to me, "the pod will decontaminate and depressurize you before we go deeper into the vault." My pod was closed. I sighed softly to myself, "Time for a whole new life." Then everything went white. After a while Everything started to clear up, I couldn't see very well out the window on my pod. A mysterious figure came up to the pod across from mine, "This one here." Another figure walked to the other side of the pod, "Open it." The man's voice was very rough. The other figure was wearing a hazard suit of sorts. They also had a feminine voice. She pulled some switches on the pod's control panel, the pod opened, it was my wife's pod. She was breathing heavily, "Is it over? Are we safe?" The man speaks, "almost." The woman reaches for Shaun, "come here baby." Nora fought her, "No, I've got him." The man pulls out a gun, "Let the boy go. I'm only gonna tell you once." Nora kept fighting, "I'm not giving you Shaun!" I heard the gun sound and my wife was killed right in front of me. Tears were running down my face uncontrollably, "NO!" Then I heard the baby cry. The man spoke, "God Dammit! Get the kid out of here." Then the man came right up to me, I got a good look at his face. Bald head, scar across his left eye. He said, "At least we still have the backup." That's all I heard before the computer said, "Cryogenic sequence reinitialised." Then it clicked in my head, I'm frozen. Everything went white again. Then I woke to the sound of the computer, "Cryogenic Array Malfunction. All vault dwellers please evacuate immediately." My pod opened and I fell out onto the floor coughing. I got up and went to my wife's pod, "Come on, there has to be a release!" I pulled the lever on the control panel, "Come on, Come on, Oh God!" The pod opened and I saw her lifeless frozen body. I took the wedding ring off of her frozen finger, "I will find who did this. I will get Shaun back, I promise." I walked through the vault and came across a desk with a necklace chain on it, I took the chain and put my wife's ring on it and put it around my neck. I went further through the vault and I heard a noise I called out to anyone who might be there, no one answered. I came to an office with a gun and some ammo on it. I took the gun and loaded it when I heard a noise around the corner. I peeked around the corner and I saw a gigantic roach, "Giant, roaches? Holy shit." I shot straight at it and killed it with one bullet. Then I examined the desk and found three stimpacks, "I'm gonna need those." I took the stimpacks and searched for all the ammunition I could then I went through the door and found the vault door closed. I went up to the control panel and saw a skeleton on the floor with a screen around its arm. I picked it up and examined it, I put it around my arm and did up the clasp. I saw a hole on the panel and on the computer on my arm there was a plug like thing I put the plug into the hole and pushed a big red button, I heard the computer say, "Vault door cycling sequence initialized." The door opens and I go down the stairs and onto the elevator. I hear the computer again, "Enjoy your return to the surface and thank you for choosing Vault-Tech."
