This place sucks. I don't even know why I joined the Brotherhood of Steel or even why I'm writing this. Paladin White told me and the other aspirants to "Chronicle our stories" to look back on when we make Knight or Paladin in a thousand years. He can "Chronicle" my ass! I joined the Brotherhood to get away from Rivet City and my drunk bitch of a mom and now I'm "saving humanity" apparently? Training was stupid at that old airforce base, and super hard. I gotta admit though, the Adams place was cool only because I got to watch all the work on that floating ship thing they're working on and shoot fucking laser guns!

So, training sucked, I was promoted to Aspirant, and then I got to look cool in front of all the stupid new initiates. Things were good for a while "Steel be with me" and all that shit, and then I got thrown into a battle outta nowhere. Our brand new elder, Elder Maxson just reintegrated those "Outcast" guys and pushed a bunch of us aspirants and initiates out of the Adams barracks to give those assheads a new home. Maxson is a badass and when I heard about the deathclaw he took on, I woulda been like "Fuck that!" and bolted. I never even seen one of those big lizard shits up close, but I heard enough to skedaddle if I see one.

Anyways, after us boots were kicked out of Adams, we were sent to different outposts around the Capital Wastes and I sat front row for a bigass assault on the super mutants. That shit was crazy. I was in the staging area down below and just before the assault saw a fucking nuke go off on the cliff our power armor was set up. I think that Senior Scribe Ingram chick got killed or some shit, but that was intense! So, we later won the day, and I killed at least thirty super mutants all by myself and even got the last shot on that behemoth. I'm not lying, I swear to whoever the fuck is reading this. Anyways, then the fucking Paladin sends me and a bunch of the other aspirants to watch over one of our new power armor assembly plants, factories, or whatever.

I don't know why they can't give us aspirants the T-45 suits while they transition to the T-60, but fuck us I guess. Now I gotta keep watch over the production line and keep our captive raiders working. I never thought I'd rather be in a battle than be bored as crap watching jetheads weld power armor. Whatever, at least I know I'm safe in this place and away from my bitch of a mom. Not like something bad can happen in a fucking factory.
