Flynn continued leading Phoenix into the station itself, underground. A slight breeze could be felt. He began making his way down the escalators, looking to the station names and which line to take.

"It's so strange seeing this now, I have never seen it so quiet or empty in my life. I used to take the train to the college and university every other day and I remember how busy it was."

She arrives down at the train platform and looks around as her mind fills in the surroundings with memories of the past, "sorry if I seem like I am rambling."

"I know it's hard to believe that this was once a place where millions worked and relaxed in this one huge grid of a city. I just wonder if one day they'll run again, like the Vertibirds the Brotherhood of Steel use to get across the USA."

"I guess you know about it cause of your grandparents telling you? And I hope so. Vertibirds, they sound familiar?"

"I've also read the books which survived the war and any terminal data which is still intact. Vertibirds are personnel transport, probably the only aircraft still working today."

"Wow. I am surprised how much survived. It isn't the old videos they showed in schools to scare the kids that's for sure."

She hears the radio change music and smiles, it was still Frank Sinatra but this time it was Come Fly With Me, kinda ironic when they were just talking about Vertibirds.

Flynn notices this smile at the music and comments, "yeah, that radio frequency you're hearing is one of our own, a whole library of music and holo-tapes can keep people entertained and sane whilst they're here in New York. Always keep myself tuned in whilst I'm working."

After double checking down the tunnel either side, not that a train was going to suddenly pull into the station anyway, he turns to the right and into the subway tunnel. He heads on to a walkway above and to the side of the rail tracks.

"Music is always good to wind down with, I can't believe a lot of the music is still around," she follows him down the subway tunnel and on the walkway.

The two would walk along the maintenance walkway, illuminated occasionally by the occasional light

"We had music in the vault, but most of this music was recovered from elsewhere."

"Like other vaults?" She wondered how many vaults had survived the fallout.

"Uh... well it depends, not every vault is the same. We had a radio station because of how big it was and because of the passive experiment which was happening within. It took me a while to locate your vault. Apparently there's a vault tec regional headquarters here in New York."

"Ah I see. Any luck finding it?"

"I'm not allowed to see confidential vault records, but the overseer did tell me it was in the city."

The pair would enter into another subway station, already voices could be heard, "I told you, two hundred caps for the package or else I'm not taking it, I'm not risking my ass in these tunnels!"

"Who's that?" She whispers to him, becoming more alert now.

"No idea... probably a courier wanting out of a deal," Flynn whispers back.

"200? for a simple delivery. I'm not asking much here and yet you're wanting to pussy out of this job? Fine I'll ask someone else. "

The courier walked off, back out of the subway. The man with the package noticed the two in the tunnels. Rachel said nothing as she assumed it was a threat or Flynn's area of expertise.

Flynn stepped forwards then man still looking to him, "going to the Trade District?"

"Yeah, where do you want this delivered?"

"*Garret's Gun store*"

"Sure, I know the guy, I'll do it for 175."

"Fine, just make sure it gets to Garret. "

The man gives him a box and walks off, Flynn turns round and gives the box to Rachel, "hold this for me alright?"

"Sure thing!" She says cheerfully, glad the trader wasn't a raider. She takes it off him and carries it under her arm.

"Often people use subways as trading grounds, unless they're in raider territories, then people that pass by are usually going to get jumped. Let's keep moving, we should be there soon."

"Why though?" She says as they continue down the tunnel.

"Because its much quicker to get from A to B, some places you can't get to on foot and the metro can get you there in no time."

"Ah I can see how that makes sense now."

The pair of them journeyed along the tunnel for a while, not encountering anything other than rats and mice. Anything bigger was often shot at by the pair, they worked together quite well.

Eventually they split off the main subway tunnel and down a service tunnel, which was the tunnel to under the empire state building and vault 79. They were both greeted by the giant ultra reinforced doors of the vault.

"This should lead us directly to the vault entrance itself, a lift usually takes you down from the surface."

Flynn steps forwards, finding the intercom panel on the side of the door. He presses the button to contact the security. There was a beep and then a voice, "this is Vault 79 Exterior security, identify yourself."

"Flynn Ryder and a visitor, her name is -"

"Rachel, Rachel Phoenix of Vault 121," she says, identifying herself.

"Another Vault Dweller, can you confirm this Flynn?" Security answered back, the tone of his voice sounded skeptical.

"121 over by Brooklyn's outer suburbs, It's still active, but few survivors. All in stasis but her." Flynn replied back, reassuring the voice on the other end.

"The CEO and Overseer will want to see this, alright I'm letting you in, he's in his office on the surface," there came a buzzer, "stand back."

Suddenly the door split in two and slowly opened up, revealing a Security Guard outside of the Vault 79 Door. Rachel stood back as the doors opened. She sees the guard and nods in thanks, "thank you sir."

The man nodded and welcomed them in, "enjoy your stay at Vault 79's trade district, there's a platform elevator which leads to the main lobby, you can take another lift to get to the CEO's office."

"So, where do you wanna go Phoenix?"

"Well maybe seeing the CEO would be the best option first. So I can see if my skills can be of use," she nods as she thinks about it.

"Alright, we'll take the elevator up to the lobby then."
