Get out of Vault X and write down geological information about my surroundings. After walking to (Peaceful town nearby), I would study the inhabitants and wait for a great time to steal some items. My plans did not go to work, and soon I met Mr. Burke, a creepy old sod with snake eyes. He promised me that if I used my mechanical knowledge to modify some explosives that I'd be rewarded with food and drink and some caps on the side. Agreeing, I took his offer and got to work. The mayor walked over to me and questioned my actions, speaking about having a bad feeling about it. After a few days of working, I was able to patch up around 260 explosives. Running out of a lot of rations, he opted to just give me a hotel room at a tower he calls "Tennickle Tower". I don't know.. The wasteland has it's charm, but I suppose a great mind such as myself has no need to get shot. Ironically, I decided to head out to the tower..
Traveling for decades, it seems.. Out in the horizon I saw a rising tower after walking. Fortunately for me, I haven't encountered anything. But that's just what makes it much more frightening.. Out of energy, I decided to camp out under a rock, quickly killing off the giant scorpions in there with my knife and scooping out their eggs. In truth, I've always had a huge fear of scorpions, ever since I saw a white one glaring at me when I woke up on my 16th birthday. I planted some mines around me, and built a small wall around the rock. I set down some candles I bought in town and went to sleep.. It seemed that just as I went to sleep I was awakened to the sound of a large explosion. Fearfully glaring out of a tiny hole in the wall, I saw a oily grey sky, and the shadow of a man.
I quicky grabbed my gun and waited for his actions. He seemed hostile enough; he just had that certain gesture that speaks "I'm a douchebag." So, I treated him as such and clicked two times on my gun to nothing. The sound seemed to have alerted him and he quicky saw my fort. Pulling out a knife, he called "Anyone there?!"
I was never as loving scared in my life. I pulled some bullets out of my pocket and prepared myself to jump out.. I counted to 3 before jumping out and telling him to freeze, only for him to laugh at me as two others moved out from around the terrain. Instead, I was the one who froze until he got into a deep discussion.. In his speech, he talked about how most of the people of the wasteland were infected scum and shouldn't live. He looked at me and asked me why I should live. My reply? Because a great mind like myself with as much knowledge is a valuable resource. He seemed to taunt my reply and quickly questioned my area of knowledge. After giving a very thoughtful and professional reply about Science and Mathematics, he was in awe. Everyone quickly dropped their weapons, and I was introduced to the Enclave as a scientist.
