Here I present chapter 7. To think that I'll have a plentiful of time working on these chapters due to community lockdown here that's due to the Covid-19 virus, I may as well spend the time going back on the frenzy researching for lore and to construct the plot of this story further while not being allowed outside. Hope you're all doing safe out there!
Now aside of that, here is chapter 7 and hopefully you all enjoy.

"I gotta admit. Codsworth makes the best meal out of a brahmin meat."
Amanda smirked at Piper's comment. Seeing the other woman enjoying her bowl of pork n' beans with brahmin meat made by the mister handy.
"And to think that now that I still want to try out those noodles from Takahashi, makes me me feel like going back to Diamond City after this."
Amanda decided to joke which earned a chuckled from Piper.
"Well, we can head there later on- Wait. Where's Strong?"
Amanda looked around before looking back to Piper then sighing.
"I bet he's asking the settlers to help him find some milk."
Amanda replied before finishing her good.
"Are you sure we'll find some for him?"
Amanda gave a lazy shrug at Piper's question, but when gave a simple reply.
"Well, we can try getting milk from a brahmin then give it to him."
"And tell Strong it's the milk of human kindness, huh?"
Amanda smirked at Piper's question.
"Well... I suppose that can work."
"Oh, it'll work. Brahmin were descendants of pre war cows, after all."
Amanda's reply gained a curious look from Piper.
"I've heard stories about pre war luxuries. Pre war brahmin- Cows, were one of them, right?"
"You can say that. They produce milk, than can be turned to cheese, and their meat can be made for all kinds of dishes to make. Beef as we call their meet."
"Ah... That, may give me another idea for an article to publish about the pre war times. But first, I have to get your story out..."
Amanda only smiled simply but then liking outside by the window, she stood up before turning her head to Piper.
"I'll be right outside for a moment."
"Where you going?"
"Oh, just gonna talk to some of the settlers. See if they need any help fortifying Sanctuary. I'll be back shortly."
"Okay then."
Walking outside, Amanda noticed Strong almost as if shouting and demanding the settlers to help him find some milk, but in his way of asking for help.
Shaking her head, Amanda figured the sellers seemed to have been liking less alarmed.
'At least they're not afraid much now...'
Amanda mentally commented before approaching the other settlers placing wooden barriers in the road.
"Need any help?"
She began as one of the settlers heard her.
"Well, we could use some more wood. The other side of the road is still needing some blockage."
"Alright then, I'll get to it."
"Oh, and uh... Your Super Mutant? He might he useful on this, too."
"Alright."
Amanda simply replied before walking over to Strong.
"Hey Strong."
"Human found milk of human kindness for Strong?"
Amanda folded her arms before shaking her head.
"Don't worry, we'll get there. But I could use your help collecting some wood and bring them back here"
Surprisingly and thankfully for Amanda, Strong gave a nod.
"Strong find wood! And milk of human kindness!"
"Great. Go on and be back as soon as possible."
Amanda replied and watched as the Super Mutant left before deciding to head back to the house where she found Piper already finished eating and was waiting for her.
"You're back! So, how'd it went?"
Amanda shortly gave a slight shrug and replied.
"The settlers need some wood for fortifying the road block. Sent Strong to gather some wood. But I figured we should gather some ourselves, too."
"Well, that won't be a problem."
"Great. Let's go."
"Leaving so soon, mum?"
Amanda turned to see Codsworth approaching from the kitchen.
"We'll be back shortly, Codsworth. Just going to get some wood for the settlers."
"Oh, sure thing, mum! And Dogmeat is all cleaned up! Ready to come along with you if you'd like."
Seeing Dogmeat all dried himself up from and quickly approaching them, Amanda smiled and patted the canine on the head.
"Great. We'll be back soon."
As they headed outside, Amanda endears Piper began.
"So should we look over north or east?"
"We'll split up, you take the north, I'll take the east. Take Dogmeat with you."
She earned an incredulous look from Piper.
"You're seriously going on your own?"
Amanda frowned shortly.
"Why, you don't think I can handle myself?"
"Oh, it's not that. It's just that you're still adjusting to things, that's all."
Amanda folded her arms firmly on her chest and replied.
"I'll be fine, Piper. We'll meet back here on twenty minutes."
"Okay, okay fine. Twenty minutes got it. Wait. What's that?"
"What?"
Amanda stared at Piper for a moment to see the other woman pointing on her Pip Boy.
"Seems like it's getting something."
Amanda glanced over to her Pip Boy before mentally shrugging.
"I'll take a look at it later."
"O... Kay. Alright then. We'll meet up back here in twenty minutes."
Taking separate ways with Piper and Dogmeat, Amanda headed east toward the woods to try and collect some wood. But as she got a meters away, Amanda felt her Pip Boy slightly vibrating, and a small beeping sound was coming from it.
'Dammit, what now?'
Amanda bitterly frowned and finally checked the Pip Boy.

[Distress Message]•
Amanda raised a brow as she noticed the new entry on her Pip Boy. Selecting the entry, the Pip Boy then began making loud buzzes and a recorded message was played with a female voice speaking.
"Zzzz... Attention all Vault Tec personnel Zzzz... Reactor failure is imminent in the Vault 111 Government facility. Emmidiate action is required Zzzz..."
Amanda paused the message as she only stood in silence. Vault 111 Government facility? She never knew of that. And she wasn't even aware of it either, neither it was even mention on the terminals on Vault 111 where she came from.
Erasing the thoughts on her mind, Amanda played the message again.
"Zzzz... Multiple lives are risk Zzzz... Zzzz This recorded message will automatically be sent to the Overseer of the civilian wing of Vault 111 in case of security or personnel issue may occur on the Vault 111 Government facility Zzzz... Zzzz Further orders to exit the standard Vault 111 to proceed to the Government facility shall be instructed to the military personnel of the civilian wing security by the Overseer's discretion Zzzz... Zzzz if message is recieved, the Zzzz All Clear message will be sent to all terminals on Vault 111 Zzzz. All Vault Tec personnel must be evacuated from the vault and to proceed to the Government facility for full report of Vault 111 cryogenic experiments before initiation of rebuilding Zzzz. Zzzz If this recorded message is not recieved, message shall repeat Zzzz..."
Amanda's eyes went wide. Her hands slightly shaking before turning into fists. Another, hidden part of the Vault... She was not expecting this, and noticing Pip Boy recieving another entry, Amanda noticed the said message to be sent to Vault 111. The one that never came.

[Distress Message]
[All Clear Message]•
"Attention all Vault 111 personnel! The All Clear Message has been sent to inform you on the initiation of project 'Rebuilding Of Boston'. Upon receiving this message you will all be directed to the Vault 111 Government facility for full reporting of the Vault 111 cryogenic experiments. Aside of this message - The facility is currently taking extensive damage on the accessible entry. Our security gained seven casualties. Military security supervisors of Vault 111 security must exit the Vault and help defend the facility. We are currently under attack by rouge party. Please proceed emmidiately and help us defend this other side of Vault 111. Authorization in power armor use and lethal force is permitted - This recorded message shall only be sent if the 'All Clear Message' on the terminals are not received and given response within five minutes."
So the All Clear Message was actually coming. For some reason, something, or someone tampered with the communication. Perhaps miscommunication? Or sabotage? Maybe the bombs caused the lack of communication? But it doesn't matter now as Amanda focused her attention on carefully tracing her steps southeast while keeping glances on her Pip Boy. The further she proceeded carefully, the signal was becoming strong, and arriving on a small way down to a small lake, Amanda found nothing but another small high up hill, only about fifty meters away outside the fences of Vault 111.
Slowly and carefully making her way down to the lake, Amanda pulled out her combat shotgun as she cautiously headed forth. She frowned with a curse by the time the signal finally went dead. Either dead or she finally arrived to the source of living action on her it was coming from.
'Great... Now I have to look around...'
Amanda mentally thought with a bitter frown. But deciding to set forth while on the lake, Amanda saw the glimpse of a small rusted tower, connected to it was a platform bridge to another tower. Curiously approaching it, Amanda stopped on her tracks to see on the small hill was a small cave entry.
Staring at the dark hole entry, Amanda's eyes suddenly averted back up to the watch towers. She figured those were the watch point of the security on this other side of Vault 111. They had to be.
Deciding to head over one of the towers, Amanda climbed on the stair platform and inside of the small tower she saw a skeleton wearing and old Vault Tec Security jumpsuit under a rusted security armor. Over to her left was a terminal on a desk next to a small pair of lockers.
Deciding to check lockers, Amanda found a small stash of ammo, for cans of purified water and three bottles of Nuka Cola then checking the terminal, she found three entries.

Finishing up on reading the terminal, Amanda finally left the small tower guard house and crossed the small platform bridge towards the other. But as Amanda observed the structure, it was differently firmed, almost as if a capsule form on it, minus the rusts. Next to the close sliding door was a red button on the wall but was closely sealed. Next to it was a terminal and checking it out, Amanda found only one entry
:::Welcome to Robco Industries [TM] Termlink:::
Vault-Tec Security Armory

[Terms Of Use]•
:::Welcome to Robco Industries [TM] Termlink:::
Vault-Tec Security Armory
Clearance: VAULT TEC SECURITY
:::Terms Of Use:::
The use of weapons and gears on the Armory are only permitted when security personnel are on assigned tasks. Requiring only for the use of protection and to maintaining security of the Vault 111 Government facility in case of attempted attacks.
*NOTE* To ensure stored weaponry and gears are well maintained and are not used without permission, Pip Boy must be plugged on the port next to the sliding door button in order to gain access in the armory. None use of Pip Boy and intently purpose of hacking the terminal is a pose of security offense to Vault Tec in result of termination.
Amanda wore a slightly satisfied look on her face. To think that this armory was strictly sealed closed for over 200 years, she doubt any raiders, or even The Gunners would managed to access this armory itself. Not without a Pip Boy.
Amanda grinned shortly before plugging her Pip Boy on the port down below the sealed button. Her Pip Boy let out a small beep, Amanda smiled to see she's gained access on the armory.
:::Vault 111 Government facility:::
:::Armory:::
Access granted
With the seal flipping open, Amanda pulled the plug off the Port and pressed the button.
With the sliding door opening, Amanda was met with a slightly cold breeze of air from inside the armory. But ignoring the coldness as she stopped in, her eyes met the sight of assault rifles and combat shotguns on metal lockers on the far right, and on the far left were containers stashed with ammunition boxes.
'Heavenly wonderful...'
It was a complete wonderful sight for Amanda as she slowly approached and inspected each of the ammunition boxes, and slowly finding her way on the far back of the armory, Amanda saw a locked room with a terminal next on the wall.
Curiously approaching the terminal, Amanda began checking it to her eyes going a bit wide in surprise, she found only one entry.
:::Welcome to Robco Industries [TM] Termlink:::
:::Vault 111 Government facility:::
:::Armory:::
This room is only accessible to the Security Commanding Officer in case of emergency attempted attacks.
[Override Sliding Door]•
"Yes please."
Amanda simply said with a gleeful smile as she selected on the entry.
:::Welcome to Robco Industries [TM] Termlink:::
:::Vault 111 Government facility:::
:::Armory:::
:::Override Sliding Door:::
Overriding sliding door . Please wait . . .
Door accessible .
With the sliding door opening on its own, Amanda slowly took a step on the room. A small room occupied by a single locker, a weapon workbench and a military issued T-60 power armor resting on a repair station.
Amanda's green eyes gleamed as she stared at the OD green T-60.
"Oh my god... It's beautiful..."
She whispered to herself as she began inspecting the whole suit. It was in perfect condition, although she wasn't sure if the suit was even used before but the fact that it didn't had any scratches on any of its platings, hell, even the paint still looked as good as fresh as if it was only manufactured recently.
Seeing in the left one of it's chest piece, there was a small white star on a circle and beneath it was labeled 'U.S Army' on it.
Amanda didn't moved, her head looking down for a moment as she remembered herself on her dream. But it was a dream. So there's no such Deja Vu with this time getting power armor for real.
Looking back at the T-60, Amanda smiled gently.
"Nate... If you're only here..."
Deciding to check the small port at the back of the T-60, Amanda felt satisfied to see a fusion cores already inserted. It was fully functional, and all it needs was someone to finally use it.
Turning the small circle lever, the T-60 finally opened on the back of it's frame, and stepping inside, Amanda felt a shiver on her spine by the time the power armor closed. Sealing her in.
Now looking through the black visor on the T-60 helmet, Amanda began to breath heavily. It wasn't anything of fear. It was from the thought of remembering of Nate telling her how he felt being inside a power armor. Amanda smiled gently. She felt safe, secured and mostly... Untouchable.
Feeling tall as she straightened herself, Amanda finally took her first steps and approached the locker and by the time she opened it, she found a military issued laser rifle and a laser pistol. Quite a little bit of reference to her dream, but seeing it being no such Deja Vu with a difference in but being on the civilian wing of the Vault, Amanda felt a little relieved as she took both weapons it's small amount of ammunition on the locker.
Walking out of the small room and back outside the armory, Amanda figured coming back for the other weapons. The power armor was enough for her as her self wanted reward from looting for now. But looking down and back at the cave entry, Amanda figured checking it out. She was still curious at the other side of Vault 111.
After stepping up on the stair platform, Amanda entered the cave and seeing the inside, she found a tunnel leading further.
'This could be the entrance...'
She mentally thought as she cautiously moved in, but she didn't got far yet when she heard laughing, rough voices.
"And then I shot this guy beggin' for his life right in the head and took all of his caps! Man, you should've seen the look on his face before I shot him!"
Laughter was heard loudly after the rough voice of a male came through. Amanda slowly approaching in further she found a group of people, all wearing metal pieces on their bodies, some with improvised weapons. Al over he place were dozens of pre war skeletons wearing old rusted Vault security armors.
Having her combat shotgun ready, Amanda thought these were raiders, poorly armed and geared people.
Not wasting any more time, Amanda emmidiately stepped up front, her combat shotgun in hands aimed on one of the raiders.
"Hey."
Amanda simply called, and as she watched all heads emmidiately turning to her and seeing her armed with a shotgun, all raiders, about five of them sitting around grabbed their weapons but to Amanda's quick moving, she emmidiately fired her shotgun on them killing the one ready to charge forward
"Ohhh, sweet lordy lordy! We gettin' ourselves a power armor!"
Amanda fired her shotgun again as the raiders all took cover behind debris rocks.
"I'd like to see you try."
Amanda taunted, and to one of the raiders jumping out if their cover charging at her with a knife, Amanda quickly put away her shotgun and punched the raider, just in time as the raider got close enough to her.
"GET THAT MOTHER FUCKER!"
Amanda heard another raider yelling as she kept punching the raider before slamming his head in the rock, killing the raider instantly.
Seeing all the other raiders screaming while charging towards her, Amanda grinned as she pulled out her newly laser rifle and began firing each shot on the three charging raiders, not intending to aim for their heads, Amanda kept firing as each shot directly hit the attacking raiders until only one of them managed to survive the shots and was now staggering towards her.
Amanda tilted her head to her side and cocked a brow.
"Don't know how to give up, huh? I like that. Die trying then."
She put away her laser rifle and grabbed the raider by the shoulder before giving him a hard punch and afterwards followed it but grabbing his other shoulder and finally ripping off his left arm before tearing the other.
Ignoring the loud echoing screams of pain, Amanda finally finished the last raider off by smashing his head with the metal hands of her new power armor.
The squished and slushy sound came to her hearings as she tore the ragged clothing of the headless and limbless raider before using it to wipe off the bloodstains on her metallic hands.
Looking around, Amanda found a similar platform on a small balcony with another small control panel on it. Getting out of her power armor shortly and doing the same procedure she did to open Vault 114, Amanda plugged her Pip Boy on the port below the sealed red button before finally pushing it.
As the Vault door slowly began to open, Amanda emmidiately hopped back on her T-60 and headed down the balcony to head inside as the gear door that was finally opened.
Upon entry, Amanda was surprised to find the very inside of the vault was still fully functional, although she couldn't be certain whether there are still anyone inside. Walking across the small platform bridge further inside the Vault, Amanda cautiously wandered on the first half she found, and not long in her walk, she found a room with the label 'Cryogenic Control Room' labeled on the wall. Inside Amanda found various working computers.
Looking over to one of the computers, Amanda found two working terminals, and checking over the first one, she found five entries.

Amanda remained silent for a long moment after doing a quick checking on the pod occupants. Military personnel? Even a General? There could stil be hope to reorganize the military, but reorganizing the wasteland back to the old pre war America? Amanda already doubt it. But to think of these people still on their pods, she needed to see for herself if they're still alive. Then, just then, after she does. She'll think of what to do with them next. If these people can be trusted of course.
Focusing her attention back on the terminal, Amanda selected the final entry.

VIPs Cryogenics Control Terminal
Cryogenic pod override . Please wait while . . .
Cryogenic pod override complete .
Amanda not having the time to check the other terminal, finally walked out of the room, and found a small space on a corner at the end of the hall to see four cryogenic pods.
Seeing each pod opening, Amanda slowly removed her T-60 helmet before inhaling deeply. At least if these people are indeed alive, she's prepared to meet them. But as she finally saw all four occupants slowly gaining conscious and are all starting to move, Amanda took a single step toward and waited.
"Oh, god... My legs, feel sluggish..."
Hearing one of the two soldiers in green army fatigues and helmet said. The Sargeant and Corporal. Looking at the other two was the one she recognized as the general, wearing a black officers uniform, an officer hat with five stars on it and finally a woman with glasses while wearing a lab coat.
Amanda cleared her throat shortly and began.
"I see you're all alive and well. That's great. And welcome back."
Seeing the startled others emmidiately looking at her in surprise, Amanda only waited for a reply.
"Where... Is everyone? And... Who are you?"
Turning her head to the woman she recognized as Kane O'Niell, Amanda shortly replied.
"I'll answer your question once you tell me what this Vault really is aside from cryogenic freezing."
Amanda got no response from her aggressive questioning. Instead, she gained even surprised looks, and the General she noticed focusing his attention to her.
"Wait a second. I don't recognize you. How'd you get in here?"
Despite towering over these people with her power armor is Amanda took a few steps forward and eyed the General's before giving the man a hard look.
"I asked first, General. And I'm not answering your question until you answer me first. In case you don't know. I released you off those cryo pods, when no one else is here to do so."
"Ma'am, please respect the General of the United States Armed For-"
Amanda raised her hand on the woman who spoke.
"I'm talking to General Ward."
Focusing her attention to the General again, Amanda simply began.
"Look. I don't have any bad intentions here. But I demand to know what this Vault stands for. It's my right to know as a Vault dweller after what was done to me, my family, and the others kept frozen by Vault Tec."
Amanda waited for the General to respond. But seeing his reluctant face as he stared up at her, she got a pretty calm response.
"With all due respect, ma'am. This is a highly restricted area. And that is all you need to know, until you tell us who you really are, ma'am."
Amanda frowned bitterly, but seeing there was no point pushing any further, she wouldn't live in regret if she'd just simply harm these defenseless people for answers to her questions.
"Fine. My name is Amanda Amani. A resident in Sanctuary Hills, and wife of Nate Amani, a former veteran Sergeant in the US Army. Were vault dwellers from Vault 111."
"A Sergeant's spouse? And you're both from Vault 111... You mean, the civilian wing? Interesting..."
"General, if I may do the talking."
"Of course, Dr. Kane."
Amanda turned to the woman on a lab coat as she made her approach.
"As you are wondering, this area is inaccessible from the civilian wing. You must've come from outside. What is it like out there?"
Amanda gave a simple reply.
"People seemed to have rebuilt their own society already. But, on a different way."
Turning her attention back to the General, Amanda began again.
"General Ward."
"General Russel Ward, ma'am. Of the United States Armed Forces, Commonwealth of Massachusetts Division at your service."
"If I may ask, why are you people held up frozen on this side of the Vault? Did Vault Tec experimented on you as well?"
Seeing the General was giving her a surprised off guard look which shortly then turned into an unsure look on how to respond. Amanda frowned shortly before turning to the Doctor for a reply.
"I suppose there's no harm in telling you now..."
Amanda folded her arms and waited or the doctor to continue.
"While the Vault 111 you know was, in fact, built for research purposes, this part of the Vault in which you found us served a different role."
"And what's that?"
"This Vault was a collaboration between Vault Tec and the Government, which intended to preserved key personnel in an event of a nuclear war."
Amanda gave a small nod but then heard the other woman continuing.
"I was in Boston for meetings with Government officials when the sirens went off. That's when they transported me here with the others. The rest if I remember correctly are on the lower section of this Vault now have you taken the elevator there and saw them other pods?"
"Dr. Kane. I think you're giving out too much information to a civilian. No offense to you, ma'am. But we are on a dire situation at right now, and where are the rest of the Vault Tec staff?"
Amanda turned her head to the General and short replied.
"I got the distress message coming from here. This Vault was under attack during the recorded message. And when I got here, there's no one inside neither any skeletons after I opened the Vault from outside using my Pip Boy."
"Perhaps they evacuated after sending their All clear message to the civilian wing?"
Hearing the Doctor thoughtfully speaking, Amanda slowly shrugged.
"I can't say what happened with the rest of the staff here. The security staff are all dead outside this vault. So I doubt it. But seeing there are no skeletons here inside this side of the Vault, perhaps, there's a possibility."
"But what about the entire staff on the civilian wing?"
"They were all dead for a long time now. I found it out myself when I thawed out of my cryo pod recently. I'm the sole survivor."
"Wait. How did it all went down on there?"
"Everyone didn't got the All Clear Message. They all, went insane and turned on themselves due to the low on supplies, as I've read through the terminals there. The rest of the other dwellers died frozen because their pods malfunctioned. Somehow, I miraculously survived and made my way out of the Vault."
"Condolences for the loss of your husband. I, really mean it..."
"If I may interrupt, Dr Kane and Mrs. Amani. We're cut short of time. I suggest we all head on to my office to my terminal to see what's going on. It's just down the hall."
Amanda gave a simple nod along with the other three occupants before taking the be all with the General.
"So. This Vault was intended to actually save people? I find that hard to believe..."
Amanda quietly behind as she walked at the back of the group with Dr. Kane who responded.
"The rest of the Vaults made by Vault Tec weren't meant to save people. Just for research purposes. However, there we some other Vaults that actually intended to save people. Aside from this Vault that preserved us."
Amanda raised a brow as she slightly turned her head to the doctor.
"Really? What other Vaults are there?"
"There are quite a number of Vaults scattered across the US. Only few of them were actually meant to save its dwellers. Base on Vault Tec's background on their Vaults. Those are known as Control Vaults. And in West Virginia, Vault 76 is one of them to start with. Isolating and housing it's residents for the approximate 20 years before allowing it's dwellers back on the surface to colonize and rebuild. But that and the other control Vaults are a story for some time if I find any to tell you."
Giving an acknowledging nod, Amanda kept walking until she heard Kane slowly asking.
"How long was your time on your Vault before they froze you?"
Amanda frowned, but seeing there was nothing wrong to tell, she replied.
"When we arrived down the surface, the staff emmidiately told is to put on our Vault jumpsuits and instructed us right away to enter the pods. You... Won't believe how long I've been kept frozen there... How long all of us had been frozen."
Seeing Dr. Kane giving her a surprised yet curious look, Amanda cleared her throat and opened her mouth to continue until she didn't as they reached a small office.
Seeing the General taking a seat in front if a desk and a terminal, not long afterwards, Amanda saw the General with a grimacing look on his face.
"It's been... 200 years? My god..."
Hearing the two soldiers with them mouthing in shock, Amanda turned to Dr. Kane who looked back at her.
"That's... What you were gonna say... Yes?"
After hearing her shakily voice in question, Amanda gave a slight nod.
"I had a hard time taking it. But it's the truth, Doctor."
"Oh my god..."
"Any updates from command, sir?"
Hearing one of the soldiers ask, Amanda waited along for the General's response.
"Nothing since the bombs dropped, Sargeant. The lines must've been destroyed."
Watching the General as he stood and faced the other three, Amanda stayed quiet as she listened.
"Everyone remember their orders prior to entering the pods?"
"Yes, sir."
"Yes, General."
"Gladly."
"Good. And maybe our fellow Vault dweller here may have the time to help us out. Mrs. Amani?"
Seeing all head turning to her, Amanda was obviously hesitant. Her main focus was finding Nate's murderer and getting Shaun back. Perhaps, she can use these people to her own advantage in return if she helps them?
Clearing her throat is Amanda began.
"What are the terms?"
Seeing the General putting his hands on his back and straightening himself, she got a response.
"You'll be a soldier. Officially one of us. And since you've already mentioned your spouse was a former veteran Sergeant, I don't see anything wrong if I'd enlist you, ma'am. Yes, you may see we are desperate. But desperate times requires for desperate measures. If you'll join and kindly help us, we altogether as the USAF can revive our military and hopefully restore our great United States of America."
Seeing the others looking at her, both soldiers in curiosity, and Dr. Kane with interest, Amanda only focused her attention on the General.
"I need to make up my mind on your offer to be a soldier, General. But I'll gladly help fellow pre war people."
Seeing a small smile on the General's face, Amanda got a nod from him.
"Thank you, Mrs. Amani. Now, Doctor, if you would?"
Seeing the General gesturing to the doctor, Amanda turned to the other woman who began.
"We had contingency plans should the communications between either sides of Vault 111 failed. However, with the personnel lacking experience outside do the job at the moment, we will need you on the lead of this task to reroute connection for us to contact any other remnants."
Amanda gave a small nod.
"Proceed, Doctor."
"Very well. There's a radio facility not very far from here. Located Northwest. Let's get our hopes up that it's still functional. Look. I know you don't know us, and I know you're still trying to decided whether to trust us. I can see it on the way you look on each of us. But please, you've got the experience out there. I highly doubt that the rest of our personnel would know what they'll facing once they head back out there. But you, Mrs. Amani, you have the experience. And your help would prove much beneficial to our case."
Amanda gave on final nod before turning to the General who cleared his throat before speaking.
"Seeing you're well armed and on power armor, you'll fit exceedingly well for the task, especially with you having the experience out there, ma'am."
Amanda gave a simple nod.
"Now, I can't promise anything beneficial aside from the offer to join our ranks, but I can assure you that you can trust us. Because we are what's standing left from the United States Government. Or... The former United States Government."
Amanda folded her armored arms and gave a little remark.
"There is no more America now. Only the wasteland caused by the bombs. So there is no point in hopes of restoring the old country, because I've seen first hand what changes had been made out there after 200 years. I don't know about the other regions but I have no doubt it's all as changed as here in the Boston Commonwealth. But, perhaps restoring some prosperity on the wasteland can still be a valid option."
"Yes. I, understand what you mean. But still, assuming other remnants for over the past 200 years followed protocol, surely their descendants could still be out there scattered all over this... Wasteland. There could still be more of us. And if we can regroup, we can think on what to do next but for now, we shall remain vigilant. Keyword: Neutral. Until we gather enough information, any information to help us adjust to this wasteland. As well as to try to find out what happened to the other military remnants that survived over the last 200 years. Either went rouge or lost of command, we will gladly take them in as our own. No one shall be left behind as we are all in this together."
Amanda only let out a small audible sigh and gave a nod.
"I see your point, General. But just so you know. I am not part on any of your ranks. I'm glad to help any way I can but you'll have to understand I need some time to think about your offer to join the ranks."
Amanda replied in a serious tone, but seeing the General giving a slow understanding nod, she got a response.
"I understand, Mrs. Amani. But with you helping us, you'll come to see why we need to double our efforts for now just to try and bring back the USAF on it's feet."
Amanda gave a simple nod.
"Alright then. Sargeant Peterson will accompany you on this task. Once you succeed, report back emmidiately and I'll gladly tell you more on what you need to know."
Amanda gave a nod, and turning to the other two soldiers who emmidiately dismissed themselves, Amanda turned to Dr. Kane after they were dismissed by General Ward.
"Dr. Kane. How are you holding up?"
Amanda began slowly.
"I'm still trying to process all of this. I still couldn't believe we'd last over 200 years... But what I'm curious on about is, what even happened to the staff on this side of Vault 111?"
Amanda gave a lazy shrug.
"I saw the skeleton remains of the security personnel outside. Had to bust some raiders camping outside this Vault before entering."
"Raiders?"
"Groups of psychopaths basically."
"That's how much the world outside has changed?"
"That's just the only partial bit of the world outside in the Commonwealth. But you'll see it for yourself once you get out there."
Amanda paused but then a thought came to her mind. The rest of the pods? Turning her head to Dr. Kane, Amanda cleared her throat and slowly began.
"Dr. Kane. May I ask... When you meant, the rest of your personnel... What did you mean?"
Amanda wants a look of surprise from the doctor before seeing her adjusting her glasses and giving a reply.
"There are more of us, Mrs. Amani. A total of 105 cryogenic pod occupants on the Vault 111 facility wing, us included. Now, to give you the full background of this Vault, the whole Vault 111, there are five cryo pod section chambers. Pod A, Pod B Pod C and lastly, Pod D and Pod E. Pod B and Pod C chambers were those cryo pod chambers you were placed in on the civilian wing. The rest of the sections are here on the facility wing. Mostly consisted of military personnel, selected science staff and military engineers."
Amanda stood frozen. There's more of them from the tragic pre war times. She wasn't the last pre war individual.
"Mrs. Amani. Since you've released us from our pods, I personally thank you for what you've done, without you, we wouldn't be awake by now and are still on cryogenic freeze. Now, please. Do the honors and release our fellow pre war personnel from their long period of prolonged sleep."
Amanda only gave a nod.
Making her way back to the cryogenic control room, Amanda's eyes landed sight in the other terminal. So approaching the terminal, she found five entries.

Under classified reasons not to inform the Overseer about the vast space of Vault 111 prior to the opening of the Vault, the Government's collaboration with Vault Tec was to provide a safe haven for military personnel in an event of a nuclear war. But due to the Government's confidential reasons, the idea of a collaboration with Vault Tec must remain classified. And with the experimental researches needing to be performed by Vault Tec, Vault 111 was then to be split into two different wings - The civilian wing and the facility wing - each will serve a different role and purpose but the experimenting on cryogenically freezing occupants are to be conducted on both sides of the Vault.
[Civilian Wing]•
[Facility Wing]
So Vault 111 wasn't a small Vault after all. But to think that it's separated into two different sides, Amanda just couldn't help but wonder... What about this side of the Vault?
Seeing two entries, she selected on the first entry as her curiosity began to grew.

:::Vault 111:::
:::Civilian Wing:::
The Civilian Wing of Vault 111 is not to act a control Vault, but intended for research purposes only. The requirements of test subjects to perform the experiment on preserving a human lifespan are to be achieved once future pod occupants are to be brought under the surface to the cryogenic chambers of Pod B and Pod C.
The issue of public scandal and suspicion is a very fatal risk in order to gain test subjects for the experiment. As an easy alternative, orders are to be given to Vault Tec Representatives to advertise Vault 111 on the Boston region before deadline of a nuclear event may occur.
Strict orders are to be given to all Vault Tec staff on Vault 111 to keep a low profile about the experiment to prevent any suspicion and fear to the local public while the gathering of test subjects code named: Vault Dwellers.
Amanda mentally cursed, a bitter expression was on her face. She lost Nate and Shaun because of her idea on going to the Vault. She still blamed herself for it, but to think that it had long passed, 200 years or so, she had to find the murderer and get Shaun back. Those are what only mattered now a she mentally sad to herself.

'So this side was some kind of military only Vault... To preserved these personnel? Interesting...'
Amanda thought to herself before selecting back to the previous entries.

:::Pod E Section:::
Pod E chamber and it's cryogenic pods are the final addition to the entire Vault 111. The pod chamber section with only the vast amount of occupants preserved to act as the standard military personnel.
These selected 80 military personnel are to be kept hidden preserved on the lower section of the the facility wing, and under no circumstances to be released until prior deadline is reached.
After finishing on reading the last entry, Amanda was in thought. Military personnel? From the pre war? They'd know nothing of what awaits further outside this other side of the Vault. But they know one thing for sure. Follow orders. Perhaps, earning the trust of these people would be beneficial for herself, if she can use them to her advantage.
Glancing outside, Amanda noticed Corporal Fitzpatrick along with Sergeant Peterson now fully armed with laser rifles and are both headed to the main entry of the Vault.
Deciding to dismiss her thoughts for now, Amanda placed her T-60 helmet back on before walking out of the cryogenic control room.
Although this current floor wasn't much, Amanda shortly wandered around on the far north side of the Vault, she found a sliding door that led to a long stair case.
'Alright. Let's release cavalry.'
Amanda mentally thought to herself before stepping down the stair case and as she arrived down below, she was met with a small panel with a single button and a massive circular elevator platform. Similar to the on in the civilian wing of Vault 111.
After pressing the button, Amanda quickly made her way to the large elevator and slowly as it began lowering her further underground, she finally arrived to a much open and larger space of the Vault. It was indeed a military Vault as in the far right were metal racks containing such amount of guns, containers filled with ammunition boxes, and finally, a whole set of pods by ten each row stood in front of her.
Seeing first ten cryo pods contained five men and give women in lab coats Amanda recognized these were the preserved Science Staff. Behind the row of the first ten, were military personnel, same as the Science Staff with gender balance. Five males, and five females. These were the Engineering Staff.
On the far end of the first two row of twenty cryo pods was a terminal on a small desk.
Amanda approached the terminal and as she turned it on, she found only one entry.

There she stood in front of a total of 80 cryogenic pods set in rows of ten. On the far of it's left was another small desk with a terminal. Amanda grinned under her helmet and finally approached the terminal.

Seeing all pods opening at the same time, Amanda stood in from of the last 80 cryo pods. Perhaps, once she's done on her first step with Nick Valentine, then this would her second step. Gathering man power, in her favor.
Seeing all eyes turning to her, in mixed curiosity and confused expressions, Amanda took a step forward in front of the entire personnel and simply began.
"I've released you all from your prolonged cryogenic sleep. Now. It's time. Gather and prepare whatever supplies, equipment and gear that you all need before heading to the upper section on this Vault. We will soon start liberating."
And there is the whole chapter. Pardon my choice of song to fit the situation of this chapter, I just couldn't find any suitable 60s song.
Now, thanks to the sources I've been getting about the various lore, I have enough information fueled up to fully work on the next chapter, but anyways, thank you all for reading.
