It was dark, overcast, little snowflakes danced around before they hit the ground. A lithe frame was briskly walking toward a government building. Her dog tags clanging against one another until she wrapped her thick black coat around her. She paused at the massive double doors. She consulted the slip of paper that she was given, summoning her to the facility. Sighing, she grasped the large gold knocker. As she waited for an answer, she noted the shape of it. A gold eagle head had a large ring clutched in it's beak. She looked until she gained a feeling of unease that forced her to look away. Moments later a man in a dark suit and hat answe

Chapter 1 Diane, a 20 year-old with stunning blue eyes and sandy brown hair, slumbered unaware that her country was under attack. The President of the United States was talking to another man on a holographic screen. There wasn't anything irregular about the man on the screen that made him look any different than a human, but the President knew otherwise.

Chapter 1: Vault 101 "Happy Birthday to me..." I said as I wound up a pre-war wind-up toy I had fixed up. "19 years old and no one cares..." I hadn't seen my dad, Stanley , or the lab robot assistant Andy at all today. I tried to occupy myself with wind-up toy demolition derby, but that wasn't working out so well.

I need to brush up on some of my skills. I

Prolouge: War... War never changes. After the great nuclear war of 2077 many people lost their lives from explosions, radiation, and many other horrible ways. However, despite all of the carnage, many survived in the Vaultech vaults built  for the human race to survive an event like this. Some of them opened and people went to settle what was left of Washington D.C. 200 years later we are with James and his baby, Lindsey, were traveling away from the Jefferson Memorial. James' wife had passed on while she was giving birth to Lindsey. Now, they were fleeing from mercenaries hired to kill them because of James' research about Pr
