I had noticed the huge mushroom cloud in the north-east a while back, but decided to ignore it. Luckily, it wasn't close enough to cause any damage, but the blast-wave still hurt my ears. I was walking along the highway, my feet moving silently across the concrete, when I noticed a large cloud of smoke, and a car driving inside of it. "Huh," I said. I drew my Nighthawk and switched the safety off.
The smoke began to clear. I could see the outline of the car, and... Something else. I wasn't sure what. The smoke cleared a little more, and now I could clearly make out the car, and the attackers. Feral ghoul reavers, lots of them. I took aim, pulling the trigger back, and saw one fall with a small burst of red flying from its skin. I fired again when I got control of the gun, hitting another square in the shoulder. It twisted around like a ballerina before crumpling to the ground.
