Entry #6
April 5, 2077
Hey guys, I'm finally back from orientation period! All in all, it wasn't too bad. I met quite a few people and learned a few things, most notably some tips in robotics, computer/terminal coding, and machinery.
I was put into a decent position too, as a researcher none the less. While I'm part of a small team, I can still work mostly in isolation, which suits me just fine. Even so, I still got around to talking to the team, and it went pretty well. We even got some coffee after work.
The first person is Charles Goodman. A 38 year old, 5'6 man with dark brown hair, he is the main nuclear physicist of the group. Born in Boston, he went to C.I.T before joining RobCo and being assigned here. He's a good-natured man and jokes around a bit. He's also pretty decent with chemistry and some other aspects of science.
Next is Joseph Orlien. At. 24 years old, 5'10, blonde hair, and from California, he is the computer expert. He gained his experience through hacking his school's terminals and many local networks, including the local police and General Atomics networks. He was noticed by RobCo a few years ago when he managed to hack a sentry bot that had gone haywire and was, for some reason, attacking every streetlamp that it could find. The kid himself likes to test his limits quite often, but at the same time still acts like an 18 year old.
After him is Alexa Lienstech, our robotics expert. She and her parents had immigrated to the United States when she was six due to the wars that were popping up in Europe. She's 26 years old, 5'8, has brown hair, and is cute and cool at the same time. She's a complete nerd like me, and she loves to have long conversations about it. If the fact that the apocalypse was happening in several months wasn't true, then I might try to date her. Who knows, I still might just do that.
Finally, there's Jason Toiler, a weaponry and material expert. He's six feet tall and probably around 50 or so years old. No one really knows much about him, but from what we can tell he was a former commander in the military, and probably fought in both the annexation of Canada and the war in Alaska. He doesn't talk much and is always serious, although he does help when asked. All things considered, he seems like a decent guy, even if it is scary about how much he exactly knows about weapons and how much certain materials could withstand an explosion or a barrage of rifle bullets.
So that's who I'm going to be working with now. Luckily I know enough about microchips that I'll at least seem like I know what I'm doing when I'm 'researching' on better models.
The place that I'm going to be working at is in downtown Seattle. I know that it's not good since it'll probably be near ground zero, but there's thankfully another location being built across the mountain range in some town called Colgane, which is just northwest of Ellensburg. I'm going to look into the town later on, but it seems like a good place. I'll be required to move there, which is fine by me, so I'll start looking into a house that has an area nearby where a bunker could be built. I'll tell you some of the ideas I have for the bunker at a later date.
Now to answer a review that I've gotten. I do plan on installing a water purifier and a small garden in my vault, along with a seed bank of sorts. I'll also be packing a lot of food. A good thing I found out was that a lot of the food from my old world is available here, with Doritos chips and frosted flake cereal just a couple of examples. Shame that the milk is the same as it was in the fifties. Eh, oh well, can't have everything.
So in about a week I'll give RobCo a newer version of the microchip, which I think I'll skip a few models ahead. After all, I want to be able to integrate efficient microchip technology myself.
Well, I think that's all. I'll post again soon to tell you guys more about my plans for the bunker and and info that I find, along with answering your questions and reviews. Cya later!
