Introduction

War. War never changes.

War, the meaning of the word describes conflict of a mass scale, of misdeeds of a national and international conflict, the rendition of sorrow that follows for decades after. Even in the multitude of wars, humanity has held together enough to lick their wounds and delve back into advancement of their kind over and over. For decades as before war, it seemed like the world was becoming brighter.

Until the nations dispersed, overwhelmed by their greed

In 2052 the United Nations disbanded, the reserves of oil were depleted all across the world and conflicts for the precious black gold were breaking out across the globe. Without mediators, or the UN to advise and hold back the conflicts, war soon ensued between two of the most powerful nations; the people's Republic of China and the United states of America, fighting for oil within their homeland. For the better part of a decade, this war was fought; there were no chance for peace and no way to stop the onslaught.

Across the world, other countries fought one another for survival, for their own needs, to defend their homeland from invasion. Since humanity held its greed and violence so highly, nothing would stop until their aggressors lay dead at their feet from their bombs. The world was overtaken by toxic irradiated fire and smoldered into ash. Vast oceans racked with rancid green filth, countries swollen by the rising sea and buried beneath glowing snow. One press of a button had caused the apocalypse of one country, igniting another across the globe, in which all felt the darkness and silence ensue…

For a lucky few, it was not the end of the world. It was instead, a prologue for a worse future than the one they left behind, a bloody and violent end to a new beginning. Some were lucky, lives spared from the fire in vast underground bunkers, known as vaults, to keep them safe and secure. Some vaults failed and opened prematurely, the inhabitants stepping out into the hell of the wastes, not to the hell they envisioned. Many vaults on the other hand, stayed closed, indefinitely.

Vault AU-24 was one of these vaults, one destined to be hermetically sealed.
