xxx It finally hit me that whomever the heck this was they weren’t hostile. Maybe woke up on the wrong side of the bed, but they weren’t at all hostile. Which was something I was not at all expecting. Although it means that I would not be fighting back with my weapons. I would probably have to fire back at my companion with words. Knowing me they wouldn't probably even be my own words. I cocked my eyebrow looking over at her, time to use one of the many quotes I have logged inside my own mind. ”Beauty attracts heart, but character attracts soul”. I had no idea who the quote came from, but I figured that it would be appropriate.

xxx For some reason instead of getting back at her with my usual calm and collected self, I decided to fire back with anger. Which was always a terrible idea but what on earth could you do.”What do you think the vault told us? That it was all going to be just ducky out here?” My lip still curled into a sneer. Although it was the overseer that was still very much hesitant in sending us out into the wasteland, she knew that it was dangerous. She didn’t even want to prepare us because what would be the point in that? We were relatively safe in the vault, if of course you were able to deal with the radiation poisoning. There was some kind of a leak, she didn’t want to admit it but there had to be. Too many people were getting sick for it to just be a one off thing. Soon there is going to be no one left to protect in the vault. I am sure she would get a good tongue lashing from Vault-tec (If of course she was still alive for them to do so), about allowing all of the inhabitants to die out instead of letting us take out chances out in the wasteland. We probably have a better chance out here anyways. ”Everyone in my vault is dying, its gotten so bad that they dare send someone out into the wasteland to give them a chance at survival. The rest of them are too scared to leave. I had to leave everything and everyone I knew behind in order to survive-” my own breathlessness took over as I took a few seconds to gasp for breath.

xxxI wanted to snap back when she stated multiple times that I was going to die without help. That was obvious to anyone, but I was used to having a doctor in the vault. Someone who knew what they were doing instead of needles that seemed to be laying around and anyone who was anyone could administer them to either themselves or someone else. I looked down at it and back up at her. ”I’ve been dying for a while, it is not news to me. I’ve spent far too much time in the last six months contemplating my own demise. deciding that she was probably not going to attack me I put the arrow back where I had gotten it from. I would have been lucky if I had to use it, as it wasn’t one of the few explosive ones that I had smuggled away from the vault. My heart rate sped up again (My pip-boy alerting me to this) when I looked up and saw my new companion standing right infront of me. Deadly close to me, within killing range if she felt as though she wanted too. Her eyes seemed to bore into mine, My hand began to tremble wishing that I had kept the arrow in the bow, at least then I would have some kind of protection if she decided I was no longer worth the trouble to keep alive. Instead of making the necessary leap forward to take me out, she grabbed the things I had allowed to fall to the ground, Maybe she had given up. This was her taking back said supplies so that she could use them once again when she needed them. Keeping the bow in one of my hands I took the strange needles and other things that she handed me. Studying them, they were foreign although there was something strangely familiar about them. Maybe I had seen something like this before and just couldn’t remember. But who knows. My eyes raised to look back at my companion, I still had to decide whether or not these things were safe to use.

xxx There was some kind of sadness in her voice when she spoke, sure most people coped with a deadly sorrow through anger. It was only human nature, and if I was to believe their story as to how they got to look like this and how long they have been around I can’t really blame them for said anger. I have only had the misfortune of being on this cursed planet for twenty four years and haven’t seen to many of the people I care about pass on. However I have seen enough of them getting sick, but what about having the cycle of meeting people and having to watch them die for two hundred years? Pity began to rush over me as I realized their situation. Although I knew that I was walking around with a target on my back, It was one of the reasons the overseer didn’t want me to venture outside. “Believe me I know. It’s a much better option than lying down and dying inside a faulty vault.” i raised my eyebrow looking back down at what she had given me. They seemed to genuinely want to help me with my ailments, but was it going to be worth it? Would they turn around and kill me to try to find access to the vault. I wouldn’t blame them, the vault would ensure the safety of whomever decided to find it. Especially if radiation no longer affected them. That would make the sanctuary even better, Kill the inhabitants and reep the rewards of a protected vault.

Kassi Kamila: Tags: Near Ginger

The young lady calling out hello quickly startled Kassi awake and in seconds due to her Animal like hearing and sense of smell there were five more people. Three men, A woman, And a Ghoul who she thought was female it was hard to tell with Ghouls because of how funky they smelled.

The Woman was getting too close though, So she slipped out a back door and into town square quickly slipping behind the statue and into a large indentation in the ground. She hadn't expected what she'd find there though the large gaping door of a opened Vault and it was deathly silent in there. It gave off a terrifying vibe and poor Kassi trying to back away quickly because of how terrifying what she did know about Vaults was accidentally tripped over her feet and tail landing on her furry tush before trying to rush a bit further away no longer worried about the others that were nearby. The Vault was much more terrifying.

Kenna: Tags: Gale Oddment Ashton

Kenna figured something screwy was going on after she learned he was a Vault Dweller who hadn't been out until now and now she was sure of it.

"You really don't know do you? The Vaults weren't only for protection they were government experiments, That's why only certain people we're allowed in. And some were extremely cruel. There was even one that wasn't sealed on purpose and everyone in it was Ghouled or died of Radation poisoning and incase you wondering I'm not from there. What I'm getting at is that leak may be intention, A cruel expirment to see the long term effects of a steady small radation leak on it residents." Said Kenna.

Her eyes showed sorrow and pity for him and his Vault mates, "I'm sorry you had to find out the truth about Vaults like this......." She said her voice calming and showing sorrow for him.

xxxThere is this scene from a movie, of course I have forgotten the name of, where when the main character makes a profound discovery. Or gets a piece of information that changes everything that they thought about the world that they live in. To make things worse there is this shot where you see the character but the background warps around them. I know that there was a technical name for it but I was no filmmaker. However that is how I felt in this exact moment. As though everything that I thought I knew was swirling around me while I was stuck where I was.

xxx my breathing became even more laboured as I tried to calm myself down. Despite my efforts my heart rate was not going down. My thoughts were rushing all over the place. What on earth was happening? My entire life could not have been a lie. ”No. no . no no no!” I yelled out while still trying to get myself under some kind of control. This could not have all been a lie! It couldn’t have been. The vaults were made to keep us safe from the outside world, to ensure that there would be some survivors of the apocalypse after the world fell to ruin. The reason there was the radiation leak was because of some kind of a mistake with the vault. Some kind of oversight that was done when it was being made all those two hundred years ago.

xxx Alerting me to the state of my ailment, my pip-boy started making new sounds. I was becoming more and more delirious, probably from the exposure to the outside world which was more irradiated. Making the sickness that had already taken hold within me after the exposure that I had experienced all this time. “It was a mistake. It can’t be true. Just an accident… A miscalculation.” my speech was all over the place. Disjointed and overall a mess. Which was enough to send my pip-boy over the edge in telling me that there was something wrong. Something that needed to be dealt with by a doctor or someone… My thoughts continued to wander all over the place, which was partially from my ailment. At least that is the conclusion that I drew, I occasionally had bouts like this in the vault. So did a couple of others that were willing to talk to me during one of my many stays in the infirmary. Although the conversations never lasted very long, and as soon as the other person or I was discharged they never spoke to me again. Who on earth would want to associate with the person who blew up one of the catwalks when he was fifteen? The only person in the entire vault who has any interest in learning how to defend himself so that maybe one day he could venture out into the world unknown for some kind of life other than the one in the vault. Which now was a good thing, since I was the one looking for help.

xxxSince my emotions were all over the place I switched from denial to anger. The frustration of being pent up for my twenty four years of existence all coming out at once. If I had loaded the bow I would have shot it at the companion in front of me. “You are lying! You just want me to regret being safe in a vault while you have had to suffer out here for your entire existence!” I snarled as I looked her up and down. Although once the words left my lips I felt myself breaking back out into a coughing fit and leaning against one of the trees next to me. The coughing fit however didn’t last as long as it usually did, it went on and on leaving me winded once my body had decided that it was done. Luckily enough however, I hadn’t started coughing up blood. I still had a chance at life.

xxx It had to be a lie. The vaults had one purpose, it was splattered all around the place. In all of our textbooks right at the beginning vault-tec had a little drabble about how the vaults were created to keep us safe. To keep humanity alive, to keep the knowledge of humanity alive. To preserve our history. They couldn’t have done any of that by killing us all off when it suited them. My new companion had to be lying to me, they had to be. There is no way that they would have caused the leak on purpose. What would the point of that have been? If they had wanted to kill us all off, they would have made it hit all at once instead of it being a gradual thing. It was illogical. But I needed to catch my breath before I made another comment. The coughing session still taking the wind out of me.

Kenna sighed and waited until he calmed down a bit before speaking again, "Unfortunately I'm not lying. I bought some info on subjects like this off a wanderer who wasn't afraid of Ghouls awhile back, Because I figured I might run into a Vault Dweller one of these days." Said Kenna.

Kenna pulled a couple of papers out of a bag on her back and started reading, "Ahem, Vault 111: Tricking everyone into being cryogenically frozen without telling them and then they let almost everyone die and only two survive. Vault 92: Invited a bunch of talented musicians and used them for a white noise expirment to create obedient super soilders, But it drove them into fits of extreme rage and they killed each other. And the worst by far I've ever heard of Vault 75: This was a kids only Vault except for Vault Tech scientists and security, Upon being brought in all the parents were taken away executed and incinerated. The children we're used to try to make a race of humans with perfect genes, Children we're tortured and tested to figure out who had the best genes and they killed those that weren't good enough. The children eventually rebelled and killed the scientists escaping. Should I continue or are you convinced I'm not making this up now?" Asked Kenna.

xxx My head was still swirling with this new information. I truly couldn’t believe it. Why on earth had they lied to us? There was little to no point in them doing so… It didn’t add up for me. I was still convinced that she was lying to me. I however couldn’t respond to her comment as I was still trying to regain the breath that I had lost. This darn radiation sickness, it getting to me was an understatement.

xxx I suppose however that it was a good thing as me being out of breath allowed for my new companion to attempt to answer my questions. How on earth would any of the other vaults have been opened? That's the only way that they could have gotten the information that the vaults were all some big trick. To get people to be afraid of what was coming and use them for human experiments when they had nowhere else to turn too. We were all supposed to get the all clear at the same time were we not? Or was Vault-Tec insistent on ensuring we would exit the vaults at different times? If of course we happened to make it… I could feel as though another coughing fit was coming on. I still didn’t trust the medication that my companion had given me, she tells me that she wants to help me then informs me that everything that I have ever known in my life is all one big lie. How was someone supposed to react to that? Not with immediately trusting the person that's for certain.

xxx Wishing I could say that I allowed my new companion to speak, but really I was just too out of breath to respond still, I listened to her little speech about the atrocities that the vaults used to hold. It can't be true. It just can’t be true. I kept saying that to myself over and over again feeling a flood of emotion that I wished I could keep down, but I suppose when you have lived your life watching the people that you have grown up with die because of inadequate medication and a place that was supposed to be helping them allowing them to die. Balling my hand into a fist I banged it against the tree a couple of times allowing my knuckles to bleed. It was better than crying. But the air seemed to dry that I couldn’t have cried to begin with. My eyes needed all the moisture that they could get.

xxxAllowing people who struggled to kill each other in order to escape from the horrors of the world. Trying to create super soldiers, killing the parents of children and trying to create a new bread of super human. None of this made sense, how are these supposed to keep humanity alive? It’s as though Vault-Tec wanted us to kill each other, or at least start another aspect of the war for those of us lucky enough to be able to secure a place in the vault. After coughing a couple more times I managed to get a couple of words out, my voice hoarse ”So what. They lock us in a vault and expose us to radiation to kill us all off. They bloody well know what happens to people when exposed to radiation. We die. End of story.” Of course the pieces didn’t add up for my vault, but I was starting to become convinced that she wasn’t making all of this up. It was logical to some extent the caliber of the experiments, horrible yes, but they all made some kind of sense. However in my case it didn't. Why on earth would they just try to kill us off?

xxx Although my train of thought completely dissipated and my eyes traveled back over to my companion. Fear began to rush through me as for a split second I could remember who they were. After a few seconds however the memories came back, the delirium was beginning to come back again. Meaning I needed to get some kind of medical attention. It would only be a matter of time before-

xxx Once again my train of thought was thrown off course when I collapsed. It was as though my own legs weren’t able to keep me up anymore. As though the small pack, quiver, bow and my rifle had become too much for me to carry all at once. What had once been something that I had purposefully made light for the long journey became to cumbersome. I was no longer in any state to talk about how everything I had known for my entire life was one big conspiracy to use humans as Vault-Tec’s guinea pigs. Although my lack of ability to trust my new companion made the situation that much more complicated. Despite the fact that my pip-boy urged me to do something about my deteriorating state.

"At least you finally know the truth....... And unfortunately, Some of their expirments will never make sense until you read the details with you don't know yet......." Said Kenna. Then when the Vault Boy collapsed, Kenna ran up to him, "I'm not asking anymore, Because if I don't do it now you'll die!" Said Kenna she quickly stuck the needle from the Radaway into one of his arms and the needle from the Stimpack into the other. And then she waited for them to take effect.

xxx None of this added up. However my mind was swirling with thoughts. Thoughts that often didn’t make sense. Now that I think about it I remember being told that it was a symptom of radiation sickness. That I was going to get confused by thing that usually i would be able to figure out. Being told that everything that I have ever known was a lie differentially would be in the category of things that would easily confuse me in my current state.

xxx My new companion said something about there being other details. Now that was something that piqued my interest. Other details might be able to save the others that were still trapped in vault one hundred and thirteen. I needed to find out what they were, if of course I understood her correctly. Which of course could not be the case. I looked down at my bow again, how could a place that was supposed to protect us want us all to die? From what I could tell Vault tec were attempting the biggest leap in humanitarianism since…. My thoughts wandered. I was unable to come up with a name. It would probably hit me later.
xxx I wasn’t surprised when she ran over to me as soon as the radiation sickness forced me to be unable to stand on my own two legs. It showed her true intentions, if she wanted to kill me she would have done it now. Then again, i was shocked to begin with that I had even had a little bit of rational thought. I will have to figure out more about this new companion when I am well enough to do so.

xxx I used to be scared of needles when I was a child. Which I think is something that all children are afraid of, I think of all the thirteen year olds in the vault when they need to get their immunizations. There is always a line of them waiting outside of the infirmary all talking about how terrible the shots were going to be. Strangely enough they always left out that it took about thirty seconds and barely felt like a pinch. Now that was an interesting experiment, they always talked more when they were scared. Bombarding those that had come out with questions, making it so that the ‘survivors’ didn’t even have time to respond to them before the doctor called out “Next!”. In my case however, I didn’t have time to think before my companion stuck the needles into my arms. I would have to trust that whatever they are, they would help.

xxx Immediately I felt some kind of warmth rush through me. It made me want to stay super still, overall a strange feeling that I was unable to explain. However, i have felt something similar. When being treated for radiation sickness in the vault I felt similarly, although it was in a much smaller quantity. It was a much more controlled environment so I suppose it makes sense that it didn’t hit me all at once. It was also administered through a drip intravenous. With another monitor that was hooked up to my pip boy in order to ensure my heart rate remained the same. In this waste land, it would be near impossible to make such a controlled environment. Did they even have some kind of hospital here? Who knows.

xxx Next of course was a completely new sensation. It felt like a tingling, and my pip boy gave me a new icon that I had never seen before. Stimpack. It was added to the inventory, strange. I looked down at it for a second as my eyes felt droopy from the warm sensation rushing through all of my limbs. Somehow I had the ability to take what both my pip boy and my new companion called a stimpack out of my arm and study it a little more. It was foreign, although I feel as though I had heard the term from somewhere before.

xxx I looked back up at my new companion. I wanted to say something to her, especially now that the warm feeling was beginning to wear off. ”Thank you… But why?” if i were in her position I would probably be bitter form the fact that I was a perfectly normal human dying from prolonged exposure to radiation. I would have let me die. Why she didn’t was beyond me. It also meant that if I was left to die that it would be one less person to fight over resources with. Especially if what she says is true and her sickness makes her life longer. Close to immortality.

Kenna thought for a moment, "Why? Well I guess it's because I don't want to loss my Humanity, I still remember what it was like before the bombs. Before the world became this......... Raiders, Monsters, Vaults, People only caring about themselves........" Said Kenna as she stopped and started brooding for a moment, "Why do you think I'm still sane? It's because I remember........" Said Kenna.
