I've been the happiest I've ever been since I got to the Vault. Anita is just… wow. She's perfect for me and I think she knows it. There's always something to talk about even if it brings back painful memories of life before the Vault.

Tomorrow I'm back on guard duty so that should be fun.

News, another Roach attack.

It happened yesterday as Diana was patrolling the Atrium. She heard some noises from around the corner and as she went to investigate she discovered a pack of Roaches. She quickly called for help via Pip-Boy and lucky for her, Harriet was near her. She found Diana and they dispatched the Roaches.

This has given us some worries. There is obviously a hole somewhere in the Vault where these Roaches are coming from and we have to find it. Afterwards I was tasked with delivering the Roaches to the Lab for study, not exactly great but I discovered something.

When I went to the Dissection Room, I passed the Morgue and I saw people carrying the body of a dead Vault citizen. She seemed young, and then I realized I had seen her at lunch the other day. Then the people saw me and they hurried along and screamed at me to run away.

I delivered the dead Roach bodies to a lone scientist who was studying them, then hurried back to the Guard rooms to tell Anita what I saw. I'm not sure how but someone in the Vault has died and I know another thing. The Overseer hasn't told us.

A day has passed and there's been no luck finding the hole where the Roaches have come from but I've been thinking about that dead Vault citizen.

Yesterday I decided to find out more about her, so I decided to go inspect the body. When I was in college, I studied to become a doctor but then my family couldn't afford it so I dropped out and became a bartender instead. But I've kept the knowledge.

I waited until it was past midnight and then snuck out. The Vault is unsettling at night but at day it's a whole other thing. The dark corridors seem to haunt you and the very air you breathe seems to hurt with every breath. Anyways I sneaked by (using what the Overseer taught us about Perception and Agility) looking for any signs of life coming my way. I was aware that there might be some danger and that my 10mm pistol might not be the best thing to use while sneaking, so I "borrowed" a baseball bat that was lying around.

Even though I've been living here for a while I still get lost occasionally so I kept pulling up my Pip-Boy to check the map, my ears open for any background noise. It was an unnerving experience.

I finally got to the doors to the Atrium only to find out that it was being guarded by, who else? Geneva! I was considering leaving when I realized that she was alone. So I decided to get sidetracked and have some fun.

I sneaked to a shelf where some bottles lay and shook them. Her head immediately went up.

"Who's there?"

She walked to where I had shook the bottles holding her pistol tightly, then we she was where the bottles lay I sneaked up and activated a terminal near her. ZING! She was trapped. The bottles were inside a storage room with doors that could be locked by terminal and I had taken advantage of that fully. Now I could inspect the body with no fear of prying eyes.

I entered the morgue and immediately found the body seeing as how it was the only dead thing there. I searched it for as much time as I would allow myself but found nothing. In fact the only thing that seemed out of place was how her entire body had turned a sort of pale yellow.

I found nothing so I headed back to my room and slept.
