Vault 105

Hey, so that whole business with the superpowers was rather fun, but I think just as good is that I remembered something again! Turns out I've been good at fixing stuff in the Vault pretty much all my life. Man, the look on their faces when I actually fixed that old jukebox of theirs. It really wasn't that badly trashed, but they left it for thirty years, so hey. I remember Stanley's face when he found out I actually fixed it. I think he went back to look at my G.O.A.T. scores to see if I wasn't supposed to be in the shop with him.

And hey, I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth, but either I'm fixing this Pip-Boy in my sleep or it's remembering things too. The old map that always used to be junk data is now an actual landscape, although there's nothing marked on it. I guess that was the area around home?

...hey, what's this? A Note from Dad?

[And as she listens, her smile turns into one of disbelief; disbelief darkens into anger as the note begins to jog her memories.]

They lied. They lied to me. All of us! It wasn't a total nuclear crater! They knew it was habitable out there! They regularly sent people out as emissaries! I saw the Overseer's own goddamn reports, and everybody pretended that door was fucking closed for two hundred years! And before I knew that, those bastards were ready to kill me. Dad left the Vault, they killed Jonas for information, and I would've been dead if I stuck around. They shot at me on sight. I... I had to kill them. They would have killed me. Self-defense.

I swear to God, if I ever get back home, I am going back to 101 and finishing the fucking job.

Hey, so does anybody know a guy named Lincoln? His name's engraved on the side of this rifle I found in my room. Looks like a pretty old gun, so it probably wouldn't be somebody still alive, but hey. Not a bad little piece of machinery here.

...starting to remember home, too. Vault 101 wasn't the best of places to live, but then I don't really know anywhere else. Amata and I got along pretty well... not so much for Butch and the rest of his lackeys. I guess for the most part they weren't too bad to deal with. And hey! I remembered it was my birthday just in time for my birthday. Turned 20 today!

And it turns out this thing isn't just a worthless piece of junk. Must've fixed itself or something, because some of the menus aren't junk data anymore. It's almost usable like this. At least it's something.

[Private; very easily hackable]
No one ever enters... and no one ever leaves. Vault 101 must be like paradise to anyone unlucky enough to be left alive. The bombs dropped almost two hundred years ago, but it's still a radioactive wasteland. Nothing survives easily up there. It's... it's...

Dammit, what the hell did I do to deserve this? Why am I in some place where you can't even get to work without going outside? How did I even leave the Vault? There's orders to kill anyone looking to get out, and I don't even know how to open the door...

((1% memory used on Vault 101, her education, and rather general Pre-War knowledge. 1% total, 0% remaining.))

survival_101: (Yeah that was real convincing.)
So after talking with others, looks like I'm going to be here for a while. Room 205's looking to be my new home from here on out. Fun. Found this journal on the table next to it, figure I might as well pass the time writing.

Wish I had a damn clue what's going on. Nobody thinks being outside is anything to worry about. People are talking about exorcising ghosts and coming back from the dead and magical islands kidnapping people and stealing their memories like they were going to the cafeteria to pick up food. We've gone past the point of creepiness and well into the realm of disturbing here.

[Still public, as she hasn't learned about filters, just tl;dr] )

Oh man, my head is killing me. What holiday was yesterday? Why’d I have to go and drink that much? Okay, no sweat, just calm down and you can figure this out.

…Aaaaany second now.

Okay, let’s start with the basics. What’s your name? …Catherine. Okay, I’ve got something at least. Next question: what the hell’s a Pip-Boy Model 3000 supposed to be, why is it attached to my arm, and why won’t it come off!? It’s not even all that useful, all the screens are gibberish. Stupid thing.

Dammit, this isn’t good. Catherine. That’s seriously all I have. Great. I have no idea where the hell I am. This room is huge, I can’t even see the walls through all these pillars. Maybe one of them has an intercom or something, let me call for assistance. Don’t think I can count on them if maintenance left all this crap on the floor and someone really need to turn that overhead light down, but something’s gotta be better than nothing.

((A few things to note: She's in a blue jumpsuit with 101 on the back, and on her left arm is an arm-mounted PDA, for lack of a better word. At the very least, the Pip-Boy is very noticeable.))
