It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life.
Dedicated to Dad. He died as he lived, a selfish a-hole.
Let me tell you about the Dad I knew. A hypocrite and megalomaniac, this guy endeavored to teach me that Revelation 21:6 illustrated his Project Purity. In fact, this scripture was part of the description of New Jerusalem, and where the throne of God will be the source of the river that runs through the city, where the magical trees that grow on each side will provide the mystical fruit that makes everyone live forever. So don't twist that into a measure of your own glory, you apostate infidel!
Dad was also an advlterer and philandering hipster. Even as I grew in Mom's womb he had already 'applied the scientific method' with

and 'traveled in style' with Dr. Li

After uncovering his sins with testimony from the eyes of both of these women I wonder whether this is the end of it or only the beginning. How much of Dad's time in the wasteland was actually served for the benefit of Project Purity? Both the first time and the second time he was outside Vault 101?Star Paladin Cross
I met a woman named Belle Bonny in this hole of a dump called the 'Muddy Rudder.' I asked her about a middle-aged guy. When I mentioned his name her eyes cast off into the distance and I believed I sensed a gleam in her eye. But I can't be sure, and she zipped her lip so that I couldn't get anything else out of her. Nineteen years ago she would have been in her late thirties, Dad in his early twenties. That's when you stuck your hand in your pocket, slipped off the ring and showed her YOUR rudder, isn't it, cad, I mean Dad?
So I need your assistance, my fellow wastelanders, to find the truth so I can close this chapter. Who else might Dad have 'tested the waters' with in his time removed from the watch of Vault 101?
