Hello it's been a couple of days. I hope you enjoy!
Rising Out of Sanctuary
It's been about two months since I've awoken. Looking at the state things are in a lot of time has passed. I've been building up my endurance through simple exercises and eating whatever I can find. Just a month ago I took my first steps and now I've recently been able to walk without the support of something to lean on. My skin doesn't resemble my grandmother's any more so that's nice. My hand's healing as well. I had to tape my finger to my broken knuckle so that it would heal naturally. It's still not 100%, but I've been able to peel off the tape.
Any ways after some time I also got a chance to explore the rest of the Vault. There were some nasty looking roaches on steroids that I managed to take down. There was also this really cool gun looking thing but sadly it was covered by some glass so yeah, I guess I'll just have to stick with the Pistol I found for now. I've been avoiding the cryo chamber because well...you know.
Another thing that's been bothering me lately is what I found on this computer. How could Vault-Tec that! To us, to my family! Freezing us like a warm up meal, just to see what would happen. How many other Vaults are out there? Are they like this one?
Pushing away from the computer I lay back in my chair.
I'm just procrastinating now. I've done everything I can do— well not everything, there's... Nora. I don't want to just leave her there but, It's too hard—seeing her like… I'm so sorry.
Getting up from the chair and I immediately start packing. I'm ready to leave. I have to, for Shaun. Walking around the vault I grab all that I can.
What's it look like above? I'm guessing my comic book won't be where I last left it. I hope people aren't rude. I hate rude people.
Slowly taking a glance back I start heading towards the exit.
I was going to have to leave sometime. Who knows maybe I'll find another copy of Jungle of the Bat Babies, or an amazing trench coat or—I've made it, the exit.
The exit is a large grey room vast with technology. In front of me is the door. A large metal gear locked in place sealing all light from the outside.
I don't think I'll be able to pick this. Is there an open switch? Some sort of key? A— oh a skeleton.
I slowly begin to make my way towards the skeleton lying in front of a control panel.
What's that tacky looking thing on his detached wrist?
I crouch down to get a better look.
A Pip Boy. That's it, that's the key. Well if I just take this thing then I should be on my way. It doesn't count as stealing if they're already dead right?
"I'm gonna call you Clyde." I tell the skeleton. "Thank you Clyde, I promise you this will be a great help. I need everything I can get, if I'm going to find Shaun."
I take the Pip Boy off his already detached wrist and attach it onto mine.
God this thing is ugly.
I take the wire off the end of it and plug it into the control panel. I look at the bright orange button which I assume is the open switch and punch it down.
"Vault door cycling sequence initiated. Please stand back" the mechanical recording advised.
Looking at the door, I see the gear begin to unlock. It starts turning and begins to open up the tunnel. I back away from the control panel and go to the expanding walk way. As the vault opens up it immediately gets brighter. Walking across the path a gear shaped hole arches above me. The rusty lobby outside the vault is very damp. Looking down I see the elevator that took me and my family down here all that time ago. Going closer towards it, the elevator gate lifts up. I walk into the elevator and hear it cage up behind me. The elevator then begins to rise as it takes me up to the surface.
I'm going up.
"Enjoy your return to the surface and thank you for chosing Vault-Tec"
Yeah it's been great.
