Hey guys, this is a story I wrote myself, I would love feedback both negative and positive. I am hoping to be a writer when I graduate college. So feel free to point out spelling errors. I hope you like it! I will try to post at least a chapter a week. Also I will add some characters, so if you want to create one feel free to post an idea! Hope you enjoy! (This is based in Fallout New Vegas.)

Project Hariot

A fallout fan fiction

Chapter 1

“One, two, three.” Oliver counts silently as the water pump drips, dirty, irradiated water. “four, five, six.” suddenly a legionary pushes the boy over. A strange official looking man appears next to the legionary, staring into the boys necklace.

“I knew it.” He whispers to himself.

“What?” Oliver asks.

“Karian get back to your post!” The strange man says slapping the legionaries helmet. “You, boy come with me.” He grabs Oliver and drags him to a tent.

“What right do you have taking me to this dirty ass tent?” Oliver yells at the official-legion looking man. The Strange man introduces himself.

“My name is Tyson eliqrouce, Caesars legate.” Oliver seems a little skeptical to find out he’s a legate. “I see you are a hariot, last of your kin.” suddenly he throws two necklaces at the boy. “Do you know what this is?!” He shouts. Oliver tries backing away but trips on the dirty floor.

“N-n-no, no sir.” He says to Tyson. The boy ponders what Tyson has said before, Hariot, he feels this word should mean something.

“Twelve years” he says as he breathes in the cold, tight air of Caesars camp. “Twelve years since I've seen one of you. You see Hariots have two special powers, a power to destroy, and a power to create.”

“B-but, wh-what? What do you m-mean I have special powers?” Oliver fearfully asks. Suddenly the strange man grabs for Olivers neck, snatching his necklace. But just as- oh wait hold up I gotta tell you Olivers past! Oh how silly of me, right then here it goes then.

Oliver lived in a strange, dark vault, its name was vault 78, its purpose was to store water. The vault had a giant water purifier and 12 lifetime supplies of water in a giant water safe. One of the few vaults to be controlled by the mainframe vault, 0. its plan was to open after 35 years, but when they did they were greeted by legion slavers. The legion massacred the vault and only sparing children under 5 as slaves. Oliver was only 2 when the vault was destroyed, the legion left it there as a small outpost. But they found three locks in the overseers room, Tyson, found it upon himself to see what these keys meant. He studied all the books, read all the terminals he could find, and he found out that the Hariot family held the keys to opening the water safe. The overseer, John Hariot, took it upon himself to list the people who had the keys. One was with him, one was in Las Vegas being in a safe by a secluded building, and one was with his son, Oliver Hariot. Oliver has no idea what is happening but he will find out, sooner or later.
