Nuclear war. The very worlds conjure images of mushroom clouds, gas masks, and bewildered children ducking and covering under their school desks. That all came to light in the year 2077, when a war broke out and the whole of America was left in waste. In the 200 years that past life come to a virtual halt and mankind fights to stay as human as possible. I was one of the lucky ones in the fact that my family was locked safely in a Vaulttec Vault. Our education was supposed to help us restore the world to it former glory.

These where drilled into our heads from a young age, and would become the tools that could save our lives. You see that Vault was unlike any vault ever make as we had two vault doors instead of one. We had these so that we could send explorers out into the world without running the chance of exposing the rest of the vault dwellers. Everyone had to venture out into the world on their 18 birthday. While out in the world we are required to gather specific materials before we can return to the vault. Sometimes some where given easy tasks such as finding a water filter, or smokes. When I was forced to leave the vault I had to gather more RobCo Protectron bots. The mission took me three months and a lot of fighting. So I was aware of the dangers out in the Wastes. When I returned to the Vault everything went back to normal for me.

The day that Jonas, one of the vault dwellers that just turned 18 was asked to go out and get a few Pimp-Boys, there was really no thought put into what would happen to him. Sure enough Jonas did return, but when he came he did not return with the Pimp-Boy. He came back with Super Mutants as his master. We fought back the best we could, but in the end we where either killed or dragged off. I was one of them that was dragged off to the place I called Hell. I was unconscious most of the time but every once and a while I would come to and hear the Super Mutants talking about keeping the strong to make more of them and eating the weak. Every time they saw me awake they knocked me out again, and the last time I woke up I saw Bethesda Studios. A massive building covered in bodies and barricaded. This was known as Bethesda Prison is the Waste. Those who go in, never come out.

I was kept in the B Wing where they tested your body for pain and endurance. It is also where they held, "The Games." The Games was like a new version of the old Colosseum games where two men enter a ring and fight to the death. The loser becomes dinner while the winner becomes a Super Mutant. I was not one for being either. My Super Mutant Master was Glug, not a great name but still, Glug was not like the rest of the Super Mutants. They put him in charge of the Humans that had the least likely chance of winning. Which make me feel a little scared of fighting.
