// Well, I backed out of this Regulator business. I gave the tape to Sonora and told her
that I wouldn't help. I couldn't. I didn't want to die for some war I didn't understand.
Well, let me start from last night. When I gave her the holotape.
"What the fuck?" She yelled.
"This is fucking horrible! We only have six guys here." Lucy said.
"Well, I'm sorry, but I don't want to die..." I started, "I think I'm going to head out."
"What? Vic, we need everyone we can get!" Lucy yelled at me.
"No..." I said," I..I can't do this anymore. It's too much for me. I wanted to explore
and discover things. Not fucking die!"
"I understand, Vic," Sonora told me," I have a plan any way. We'll bomb the hell out
of the scrapyard."
"How?" A Regulator asked.
"Well, it's a scrap yard, right?" She started," We bring in some old junk cars that still
have nuke-juice in 'em. Hide some mines. When they're about to attack we activate
it. They're all blown to hell."
"That's brilliant." Dave said.
"Yeah..." I said.
They let me stay for the night. In the morning, I got up and said goodbye. They told
me that there was a town to the east. Canterbury Commons. I decided to head
there. It was around 11 when I left the HQ. Lucy said goodbye. I wondered if it was
for good. I was alone again. After about an hour of walking I met a Wasteland hostile.
Just a radscorpion and feral Brahmin. I grabbed my shotgun and aimed at the armored
insect. I popped it thrice and it died. The brahmin went crazy. It started charging at
me. I aimed my gun and took a shot. I missed. I fucking missed! The brahmin's heads
slammed into me and I flew back. My gun was no where to be found. It was so ironic
that I leave them and now I'm about to die. Well, I didn't. You could probably tell
because I'm still alive to record a log about it. Heh. Well, spoilers aside, The brahmin
was about to crush me with it's legs when I remembered I had a 10MM pistol on my
belt. I grabbed it and shot wildly at the animal. The bullets didn't do much when hitting
it's body, but the four shots that met it's heads killed it. I got up and dusted off. Damn.
My stomach hurt like hell. I looked for my shotgun and couldn't find it. All I had was a
basic pistol. I decided not to waste time and went for Canterbury. On they way I
saw a brahmin in the distance over a hill. Great, I thought. However it was odd. It
had a bunch of bags on it. A caravan! Yes!
"Hey!" I screamed and ran toward it.
"Hello?" A man said.
"Over here." I said, "You have any guns for sale?" I was panting a bit.
"Uh, yes. I have hot death in a variety of flavors." He told me. He wore a yellowish
jumpsuit and hat a wat with goggles on it. He also had a nice beard.
"Whatcha got?" I asked.
"Take a look." He told me and went to the pack brahmin. His caravan guard looked
uneasy. I admit, I was being odd, "Here."
I looked at the pile of guns and saw a combat shotgun exactly like my old one that
I had just lost. I also saw some other interesting things. I saw an assault rifle,
hunting rifle, sawed off shotgun, Chinese pistol, and an energy weapon, Laser
Rifle, I guessed.
"What's that energy weapon? Laser Rifle?" I asked.
"Why, yes. Interested?" He asked me
"Sure, how much? Ammo, too?"
"Well, I give you a bundle deal. This Laser Rifle and sixty micro-fusion cells for only
400 caps."
Damn, I thought. I only had about 750, "Sure. Deal."
I handed the caps and he handed the gun and ammo box.
"Where you headed, kid?" He asked.
"Canterbury Commons." I told him.
"Well, damn. Me too." He told me, "Come on, we're almost there."
I needed a change of clothes at this point. I had only some reinforced leather armor
that Moira gave me back in Megaton," Have any armor?" I asked.
"No, sorry, kid." He told me.
"Damn."
I saw Canterbury in the distance. We were almost there.
"Well, you better go in. I stay in front of town." The caravaneer said, "By the way
I'm Lucky."
"Thanks, Lucky, I'm Vic. See ya 'round." I told him and went into town. It looked like
a mini DC. Destoryed road and buildings. Thw whole world looked like this. I was
greeted by a bald man.
"Hello, there, traveler," A bald guy greeted me into town, "Welcome to Canterbury
Commons, I'm Roe."
"Yeah, thanks,"I thanked him,"So what do you do around here?"
"Well, we live," He answered.
"Oh. Ok."
"If you need anything just ask me."
"Yeah, ok."
I walked around and saw a girl walking around the town. She walked up to me.
"Who're you?" She asked me.
"Uh.. just stopping by." I told her.
"Not what I asked, dumbass,"She insulted, "Who. Are. You?"
"I'm Vic," I answered," You?"
"Call me Machete." She said.
"Machete? What's your real name?" I asked her.
"I said. Call me Machete." She said.
"Well, then," I said,"What are you? A cop?"
"Junior officer enforcer, thank you very much."
"Oh, alright."
She walked away and resumed her patrol. I saw a diner like place and walked toward
it. There was a guy that looked like he was selling stuff.
"Hello?" I poked in.
"Hey, welcome to Canterbury. I'm Joe Porter," He got a bottle and handed it to me,"
Take this. On the house."
"Oh, uh... thanks," I put it in my pack,"Anything else?"
"Sure, take a look at the menu." He handed me a scorched book with scribbles on it.
I read what I could:
-Water
-Brahmin Steak
-Ant meat
-Noodles
-Sugar Bombs
-Crunchy Mutfruit
"How many sugar bombs do you have?" I asked
"13 Caps a box. I got six," He told me,"Want 'em?"
"Yeah, ok." I handed him 78 caps and he gave me the food and I put it in my pack.
"Thanks, man." He said to me.
"Yeah, thanks." I said and walked out. There was a lot of rubble blocking a path, so
there was another road and I took it. There was a brahmin pen in front of me and
Machete walked around and scared the hell out of me.
"Hah, you suck." She laughed.
"Sure..." I grunted and she continued around.
Suddenly, I heard gunfire in the main streets.
"Die, evil doer!" I heard. What the hell? I looked around the corner into the main
street and saw a few big robots fighting a few giant ants. There were two guys in
costumes, too. A robot dressed guy and an ant...?
The robots murdered the ants in seconds with laser cannons. The ant guy ran away
and the robots and robot guy chased him.
"Sorry 'bout that." Roe said to me.
"Who were those guys?" I asked.
"Well there's the Mechanist, the robot guy. And the AntAgonizer, the lady in the ant
costume."
"What...what..?" I didn't understand what that was.
"Yeah, they're kind of odd. Annoying. They come into town every once in a while and
fight each other. I have no clue as to why. The AntAgonizer is the badguy, and the
Mechanist is the goodguy. At least that's what they think. I don't know..."
"Yeah..." I noticed the sky fade, "Any where I can sleep for the night?"
"Well, you can sleep in my place if ya want?" He offered.
"Yeah, ok," I accepted, "Thanks." He showed me the place. I decided to just sleep
in the corner near the door. Nothing happened for a while so I recorded this log.
I'm gonna go to corner now. Heh.

// Well, we made it back the Regulator HQ...
So I was woken by Dave at 9 sharp.
"Get up." He said.
"Augh, ok..." I said, rubbing my eyes, "Where's Lucy?"
"She's outside," He told me,"Get ready."
I ate some sugar bombs. Like always, ha. Three Dog came in and talked to me.
"So, what's up?" He asked me.
"Eh, just eating, "I said, "Thanks for the bed, man."
"No problemo," He said," Hey listen, you're goin' with those regulators, right?"
"Yeah, why?" I asked, crunching on the sugar bombs.
"Well, that Dave guy was kind of weird. And I need someone I can trust, "He said,"Is
that you?"
"I guess so, why?" I put down the box.
"Yeah, well, if you meet the regulata' boss, give 'er this." He handed me a box.
"Uhh, sure what is it?" I asked him.
"It's a holotape I found. She'll need ta hear," He told me, "Give it a listen if ya
want."
"Ok, thanks, I guess."
"Oh, and uh.. take this for helpin' me out." He handed me thirty caps,"Don't die out
there, dude."
"Thanks, I'll try not to." I finished my sugar bombs and packed up. I put the package
into my pack. I went outside and saw Lucy and Dave where John had died.
"Where is he?" I asked.
"They took him away and buried him. Along with the dead brotherhood guys." Lucy
told me.
"Oh..." I paused, "Ok."
"Let's get moving, we need to get back to the HQ." He told us.
"Hey, I've got a question..." I said, "I thought Regulators were like bounty hunters,
yet you guys seem like couriers."
"We're told that if we find any one while on our missions to take notice and take them
down. We just haven't found anyone yet." Dave told me.
"Oh, ok."
We backtracked how we came into DC and had no trouble. As we left Farragut,
however, we found a few feral ghouls wandering by the gates.
"Feral Ghouls..." Lucy informed.
We shot them and they collapsed. We left the metro and went north. They knew were
the Regulator HQ was, not me, so I followed them. It was apparently in the
north. Three Dog told me to give this holotape to the leader. Too bad he didn't tell
me who that was.
"So... who's the leader of the Regulators?" I asked.
"Sonora." Dave answered.
"Oh, ok.."
We continued toward the HQ and met a huge pack a feral dogs on the way. At least
twenty.
"Welp, we're fucked." Lucy said.
"Take cover on that rock! They can't reach us there!" Dave shouted.
We climbed on a jagged tall rock. The crazed dogs tried jumping up but slid down.
We got our guns and started picking them off. Whoever had been housing these
things must've been bested. After we killed about half the others started to flee.
Good riddance. It was getting dark.
"We can make it," Dave said. I hoped he was right. Nothing worse than the wasteland
at night, "There!" He shouted.
All I saw was a little farm house in the distance.
"That?" I asked, That's the HQ?"
"Doesn't look like a lot, but... well that's it." Lucy told me.
"Come on." Dave told us.
We dashed and Dave knocked on the door, "This is Dave, Lucy, and a wastelander."
"What's a waster doing with you?" Someone behind the door asked.
"He helped us out." Lucy told them.
"Whatever, we're gonna watch him, though." The door slid open.
I saw about ten guys on the first floor. It was odd..
"Why are there so little here?" I asked.
"Well, most of us are on missions most of the time. We usually just stop by to get our
missions and update our bounty list, " Dave told me, "Come on, Sonora'll want to see
you."
"Ok..."
We walked upstairs and we met with a girl in an odd cowboy hat.
"Hello, Dave, Lucy, Jo- " She stopped," Where's John?"
"KIA" Dave answered.
"Damn!" She said, "Well, who's this?"
"My name is Victor, "I told her, "Victor Dunn."
"Well, howdy there Vic, "She greeted me, "So you've been helping these guys then?"
"Well, I guess so." I replied.
"So are you interested in becoming a Regulator, Vic?" Se asked.
"Well, not really," I answered, "I like just exploring the world."
"Ok, then," She said,"Dave, how was the mission? You get to Three Dog?"
"Hey, uh.. can I step out for a bit?" I asked.
"Sure, "Sonora replied, "Fine with me."
I left while they were talking to record today's log. And listen to that holotape...

<Start Playback: [.......]>

// Ok, all you Talon Co. Mercs out there, we need you to get rid of the damn regulators.
We've had many run-ins with them and they seem to mean business, ya hear? So,
we're going to get as many mercs as possible to attack their base of operations.
Meet at the scrapyard near their base and attack on the 10th.
We're copying this tape and sending it to all squads.

// Well, I'm starting to have second thoughts about staying with these regulaters.
Last night after my log recording, before we went to sleep, we talked about the
ghoul thing, and why Dave killed them... He said that he knew they'd turn feral
and wouldn't change his story. Eh, let me start with this morning.
So, I woke up to Lucy screaming at me.
"Wake up, Vic!"
"Augh... Damn," It hurt my head, "Yeah, yeah, I'm awake."
"Eat something and let's go." Dave instructed me.
"Yeah, ok." I ate some sugar bombs and a mutfruit. As we left the maintenance room,
I saw the two dead ghouls lying next to the door. It pissed me off.
We traveled through the rest of the Farragut Metro and met some Super Mutants
outside. Three of them. They didn't see us.
"Shh, we'll try to sneak past them..." Dave said.
We snuck past them until John tripped. Damn! He tripped on a rock.
"Ah, damn!" He screamed, "Awww.....shit..."
"WHAT WAS THAT?" A mutant yelled.
"TIME TO DIE!"
"Run? Or shoot?" Lucy asked.
"Both." Dave said.
We got out our weapons and backpeddled. One of the mutants ran toward us with a
nail board. John threw down a frag mine and the dumb mutant stepped on it.
It didn't kill him, but it downed him. The other two had assault rifles and wore a lot of
armor. We ran into a building for cover. After a while the other two mutants stopped
looking for us.
"Next time, John... "I said, "Don't fuck up."
"Yeah, uh... sorry."
We looked around the building and found a gun cabinet with a few rifles inside. We took
the ammo and used some rifle parts to repair our guns a bit.
"Let's go." Dave said.
We walked out of the building and started heading somewhere.
"So, where exactly are we going?" I asked.
"Galaxy News Radio." Dave said.
"Why?"
"We need to speak with Three Dog." He told me.
"Oh, ok." I said and we continued.
We got to the GNR building and there were Brotherhood guys everywhere. One walked
up to us.
"This is Brotherhood territory. State you business."
"We are regulaters, and we need to see Three Dog." Dave told him.
"Fine, but any funny stuff and you are all dead."
"Yeah." Dave brushed him off.
We went up stairs into the building. As we got to the door where Three Dog was, Dave
turned to me.
"Vic, you're not an official Regulater so I need you to stay out here."
"Oh, come on, Dave," Lucy complained.
"No, he can't be fully trusted."
"I understand," I told him.
As they went inside, a brotherhood paladin approached me.
"Still alive, I see." He said,and took off his helmet.
"Jameson!" I yelled," Oh, wow, nice to see you again."
"Yeah, so what have you been up to?" He asked me, helmet held on his hip.
"Well, I'm traveling with these regulaters. I don't know what they're talking about
in there, but I don't really care."
"Well, stay safe, Vic." He walked away and put his helmet back on. It was nice to know
he was still alive.
After a while of waiting, Lucy and John came out.
"Dave is staying here for a while and told us to patrol n' stuff." John told me.
"You can tag along, if you want." Lucy chimed in.
"Uh, yeah, sure." I told them
As we were walking down the stairs to the front door we heard an explosion. The
whole building shook.
"Damn!" John yelled.
"Everyone outside!" A paladin said, grabbing his laser rifle.
"Shit, should we go out to?" I asked.
"Well, we can't just stay here!" Lucy yelled.
Three Dog and Dave came out and went toward us.
"Everything alright, guys?" Three Dog asked. This was the first time I'd seen him. He
looked radical.
"Yeah, you two should continue on what you're doing." John said.
"Ok. Be safe." Dave told us.
"Yeah, fight the good fight!" Three Dog yelled.
We opened the doors and saw bullets flying.
"Shit, lay low!" I yelled. There were sandbags to take over beside us.
A paladin was screaming to us," You civilians get back inside!"
"No, we can help!" Lucy yelled.
"Don't die!" He told us.
Super mutants had flooded the plaza. There were so many of them. Dozens.
There were only about seven paladins, though. I saw a paladin get shot right next to
me. His head was blown off by a sniper rifle. His gun slid near me. It was a weird energy
weapon that I'd never seen before. I grabbed it and blind-fired over the sandbags.
It shot a green energy bolt that hit a wall on the other side of the plaza and melted
the concrete. I heard a super mutant scream. I guessed I almost hit him. I heard
another giant explosion.
"Fatman!" A paladin screamed.
"Shit, I hope that's on our side..." Lucy griped.
I'd never heard of a fatman before, "What the hell is that?" I asked.
"A mini-nuke launcher." Se told me
Shit. Well we'd either be dead soon or saved soon, I thought.
"Backup!" A paladin told us, "Don't worry, civilians."
I took my energy weapon and shot a few more times over the sandbag wall. I saw
three more brotherhood guys come from behind the super mutant front. One had
the fatman I could see. Some of the mutants ran off. Some tried and failed. The others
stuck it out. John got up from cover to move up. As he was moving he was shot three
times with an automatic weapon.
"Shit!" Lucy screamed!
Fuck, John!" I boomed, he fell down on his back on the steps, blood poured out.
A paladin boomed," Civilian down!"
We weren't civilians, damn it. There were only a few more muties left. I shot a few more
energy shots at one on a ledge. They went through him leaving a melted hole. He
grasped for life and fell off. The rest were then killed as well. Lucy and I rushed to
John, but it was too late. He was dead.
"All clear!" A paladin screamed. I saw only three dead brotherhood guys and at least
twenty dead muties. We rushed up to where Three Dog and Dave had been.
We busted open the door.
"Is everything ok?" Three Dog asked us.
"No, we lost a few guys, including John." Lucy said, starting to sob a little.
"Shit..." Dave said.
"Muties dead?" Three Dog asked.
"We think so." I said.
"Well, that's good at least. Sorry about your friend," He said, "He fought the good
fight."
Dave got up at faced Three Dog, "Well we need to go now." He said.
"Yeah, take care." He said.
Lucy started to cry.
"Stop it," Dave told her, "Get over it and pay attention."
"Why are you being such a douchebag, Dave?" I asked him.
"Don't talk to me like that, wastelander."
"Whatever, where do we need to go next?" I asked.
"We need to go back to HQ, "He said, "You, however, I don't know."
"So, you don't want me along any more?"
"It's your choice." He told me.
I glanced at Lucy for a second, she looked sad,"I'd like to tag along again, if you don't
mind." I told him.
"Fine, then," He told me, "We'll leave first thing in the morning, then. It's getting late."
He turned to Three Dog again, "Any where we can stay a night?"
"Yeah, sure, I got a few beds in the back room, if you want." He informed us.
"Ok, thank you, Three Dog," Dave thanked him,"I'm heading up, you two come when you're
ready."
"Ok," I said, he walked off," You ok, Lucy?" I asked.
"Y-yeah," She said, "I'm going to sleep..." She wandered after Dave.
I went outside for a bit to think. Then, I started the log...

"You can tag along, if you want." Lucy chimed in.
"Uh, yeah, sure." I told them
As we were walking down the stairs to the front door we heard an explosion. The
whole building shook.
"Damn!" John yelled.
"Everyone outside!" A paladin said, grabbing his laser rifle.
"Shit, should we go out to?" I asked.
"Well, we can't just stay here!" Lucy yelled.
Three Dog and Dave came out and went toward us.
"Everything alright, guys?" Three Dog asked. This was the first time I'd seen him. He
looked radical.
"Yeah, you two should continue on what you're doing." John said.
"Ok. Be safe." Dave told us.
"Yeah, fight the good fight!" Three Dog yelled.
We opened the doors and saw bullets flying.
"Shit, lay low!" I yelled. There were sandbags to take over beside us.
A paladin was screaming to us," You civilians get back inside!"
"No, we can help!" Lucy yelled.
"Don't die!" He told us.
Super mutants had flooded the plaza. There were so many of them. Dozens.
There were only about seven paladins, though. I saw a paladin get shot right next to
me. His head was blown off by a sniper rifle. His gun slid near me. It was a weird energy
weapon that I'd never seen before. I grabbed it and blind-fired over the sandbags.
It shot a green energy bolt that hit a wall on the other side of the plaza and melted
the concrete. I heard a super mutant scream. I guessed I almost hit him. I heard
another giant explosion.
"Fatman!" A paladin screamed.
"Shit, I hope that's on our side..." Lucy griped.
I'd never heard of a fatman before, "What the hell is that?" I asked.
"A mini-nuke launcher." Se told me
Shit. Well we'd either be dead soon or saved soon, I thought.
"Backup!" A paladin told us, "Don't worry, civilians."
I took my energy weapon and shot a few more times over the sandbag wall. I saw
three more brotherhood guys come from behind the super mutant front. One had
the fatman I could see. Some of the mutants ran off. Some tried and failed. The others
stuck it out. John got up from cover to move up. As he was moving he was shot three
times with an automatic weapon.
"Shit!" Lucy screamed!
Fuck, John!" I boomed, he fell down on his back on the steps, blood poured out.
A paladin boomed," Civilian down!"
We weren't civilians, damn it. There were only a few more muties left. I shot a few more
energy shots at one on a ledge. They went through him leaving a melted hole. He
grasped for life and fell off. The rest were then killed as well. Lucy and I rushed to
John, but it was too late. He was dead.
"All clear!" A paladin screamed. I saw only three dead brotherhood guys and at least
twenty dead muties. We rushed up to where Three Dog and Dave had been.
We busted open the door.
"Is everything ok?" Three Dog asked us.
"No, we lost a few guys, including John." Lucy said, starting to sob a little.
"Shit..." Dave said.
"Muties dead?" Three Dog asked.
"We think so." I said.
"Well, that's good at least. Sorry about your friend," He said, "He fought the good
fight."
Dave got up at faced Three Dog, "Well we need to go now." He said.
"Yeah, take care." He said.
Lucy started to cry.
"Stop it," Dave told her, "Get over it and pay attention."
"Why are you being such a douchebag, Dave?" I asked him.
"Don't talk to me like that, wastelander."
"Whatever, where do we need to go next?" I asked.
"We need to go back to HQ, "He said, "You, however, I don't know."
"So, you don't want me along any more?"
"It's your choice." He told me.
I glanced at Lucy for a second, she looked sad,"I'd like to tag along again, if you don't
mind." I told him.
"Fine, then," He told me, "We'll leave first thing in the morning, then. It's getting late."
He turned to Three Dog again, "Any where we can stay a night?"
"Yeah, sure, I got a few beds in the back room, if you want." He informed us.
"Ok, thank you, Three Dog," Dave thanked him,"I'm heading up, you two come when you're
ready."
"Ok," I said, he walked off," You ok, Lucy?" I asked.
"Y-yeah," She said, "I'm going to sleep..." She wandered after Dave.
I went outside for a bit to think. Then, I started the log...

// So, we got up at around 10 and ate some breakfast. They had a surplus of Nuka-Cola
so I took one. Dave had a Brahmin Steak, John had one too. Lucy pulled out a box of
sugar bombs and some Yumyum eggs. I took out my box of sugar bombs and Lucy
looked at me.
"Ha, you like 'em too?" She giggled.
"Yeah, never leave home without them."
After we ate our meals we moved out of the cave. Light peered through the cracks in
the rocks that we used to cover us in. We moved them away and packed up. We walked
for a while and found a building. There was a raider going inside.
"Looks like a raider stronghold." Dave suggested.
"Yeah." John said
"Should we just go around it?" I asked.
"I think we should, there's only four of us and who knows how many are in there." Lucy
said.
"Yeah, for now, at least. Come on, over here." Dave lead us around the building. The
sign on it said, Super Duper Mart. We walked south along the Potomac until we met a
few Brotherhood of Steel Paladins on patrol.
"Hey, you guys." One of them said.
"Yeah?" Lucy answered.
"What's your business here?" One said, gripping his laser rifle.
"Why?" Dave questioned.
"We have an operation going on. You need to take another route." The paladin said.
"Or what?" Dave asked.
"Or we exterminate you." The Paladin said, seriously. I got a little freaked out.
"I guess we'll move along, then." Dave said to him.
We went around their perimeter.
"What was all that about?" Lucy asked.
"Ah, who knows," John said,"Brotherhood always up to stuff."
"Yeah, and he meant what he said," Dave chimed, "I could tell."
"A paladin helped me out before when I was in DC. He was pretty cool." I said.
"So you've been to DC, before?" John asked me.
"Yeah, only for a few days. I was with a regulater named Richard."
"Richard?" Dave asked, quizzically.
"Yeah, he died in a battle with super mutants. We were trying to help a ghoul get
to Underworld."
"So that's what happened to him, "Dave said," Damn, I guess I expected it.
"Why?"
"Well, he was sent with five others, too. After a few days, three of them came back
and said that some died and were seperated. Did he get to the monument?"
"Yeah, we got there. It didn't work." I told him.
"I bet. Signal's still shit at GNR." Lucy said.
"Wait a second," Dave stopped us, "I hear somethin'."
We saw a huge group of mirelurks in the river. I counted at least twelve.
"Shit..." Lucy cursed, "What do we do?"
"We can't take all those assholes,"John said,"I can barely tackle one!"
"Shhhh... "Dave stopped them, "Be quiet, dumbasses."
After about fifteen minutes of us ducking by some rubble they were gone, it was pretty
close.
"Well, "I said," Time to go?"
"Yeah, come on." Dave commanded.
We walked down the Potomac until we saw a few tents by the water. There was a girl
and two dogs sitting by the water. A man came out of the other tent.
"Hello!" Dave shouted.
They turned around, nervously and came up to us.
"You know a way into DC from here?" Lucy asked.
"Um, I think so. There's a metro station over there across the river that you can use."
said the lady.
"Thank you, ma'am." John thanked.
We headed to the metro station across the river. We did get a little wet, but what
can ya do?
We walked down the stairs and entered the metro station. The sign read, Farragut
West Metro. The path looked familiar. This is where I first entered DC.
"Hey, "I said, "This is how I got in before."
"Oh, really?"John asked, "You know where to go, then?"
"Uhhhh, well we just follow the tunnels." I told him, thinking.
"Yeah, like every other metro, John." Lucy said.
"Well." John said.
We continued down through the tunnels. We heard a few mole rats ahead.
"We got some mole rats, "Dave said.
We got our weapons out. Dave, a laser rifle, Lucy, an assault rifle, John, a hunting
rifle, and me, my shotgun. Six Mole Rats ran up to us and were eliminated quickly by
our shots.
"That was easy..." John said.
"Yeah, let's go." Dave told us.
I glanced at my Pip-Boy and the time said 9:45PM.
"Damn, it's getting late." I said.
"What time is it, Mr. Pip-Boy?" Asked Lucy.
"Says 9:45."
"Well, we better start looking for a place to rest." John said.
"Yeah..." Dave agreed, "Here. A maintenance room." He opened the door.
"Shit!" Lucy screamed, "Ghouls!"
"Hey, hey, wait!" One screamed, "We're not feral, don't hurt us, please!"
"Don't worry about it." I said to them, but then I heard bullets. Dave had shot them
with a pistol.
"Dave, what the hell?" Lucy snapped.
"Can't trust ghouls," He said, "Can go feral anytime."
"Come on, man!" I yelled.
"Shut up, Vic," He yelled, "You know just as well as I do."
"They weren't gonna go feral, man." I told him.
"That's not how it works, " Lucy said," Dave, what the hell?!"
"Doesn't matter, now,"He holstered the pistol,"Now we can sleep, John help me move
these bodies."
"Uhh.. sure." He said.
They dragged the two dead ghouls out of the maintenance room.
"What was that?" I whispered to Lucy.
"I don't know, "She replied,"He does dumb stuff sometimes."
"Well, that was just plain fucking stupid. " I said.
"Come on, we need to sleep." Dave commanded as he walked back in.
"Hold on," I said and walked out," I'll be right back."
Well, that's it for today, now it's time to head back in there. I don't know about Dave,
right now...

// Today was rough. Damn rough. Rough, like a Brahmin kicking a Atom Worshipper into
the the gates. I dunno what that means, but let me explain what happened.
So, I woke up at around 10 and ate some sugar bombs. I grabbed my pack and checked
my gear. I went outside and was immediately greeted by a battle. A few Regulaters
were fighting a super mutant. The mutant had a damn minigun and was spraying the
clan of regulaters. I grabbed my shotgun and fired at the mutant. It turned at me and
boomed.
"IT'S TIME TO DIE!" He yelled turning his gun in my direction.
"Watch out, local!" One of the regulaters yelled. He took out his laser rifle and shot at
the mutants head. It vaporized into ash and the rest of it's body collapsed onto the
ground. The regulaters approached me.
"You ok, local?" The man with the mustache asked me.
"Uhh... yeah, thanks for the assist." I thanked him. They all holstered their weapons.
"Hey, we're heading to DC, you want to join us, local?" The mustache guy offered. I
guessed that he was the leader.
"I guess so. Better to be with a bunch a friendlies than all alone." I replied.
"You're right. What's your name? I'm Dave, they are John and Lucy."
John had long hair and a rough beard, while Lucy had short Orange hair and was kind
of cute.
"I'm Vic." I replied. We started back to DC. I was nervous, but these guys looked tough.
We walked for about three hours until we met a few raiders in a small camp. They
didn't attack, and one of them walked up to us.
"The fuck you want, bitches?" He insulted us.
Dave responded with, "Well, you got somethin' to hide?"
"Yeah, just so happens we do. Wanna see?" He replied. The other three raiders got up
and came toward us. Dave, John, and Lucy got tense. So did I.
"Want to see?" One of them shouted.
"Yeah, bitches. Curious?"
"Ha ha!"
Dave made a strange sign with his hand behind him. Was it a signal? I didn't know.
John and Lucy got their pistols and pointed them at the lead raider. Dave got his
Laser Rifle and pointed it at him as well.
"No funny buisness..." Dave said,"Now, you can walk away, or we can have a little...
disagreement..."
The raider spit it his face, "Fuck you." The other raiders took out their weapons but
John and Lucy turned and shot two of them. The other one dropped his gun and ran.
The leader got scared.
"One last time. You want to hand over your gun and leave?" Dave asked nicely.
"Uhh.. uh... y-yeah, s-s-s-s-sure m-man." He gave Dave a shotgun and walked slowly
backwards, " C-can I g-go now?"
"Sure." Dave said.
The raider ran off. For his life. John and Lucy holstered their weapons and Dave lowered
his, "So, that's how we do it."
"Uh... yeah." I said nervously.
"Don't worry 'bout anything." Lucy said comely.
"Alright, we better start walkin'." Dave said.
These guys meant buisness. They were regulaters. So was Richard, but he didn't seem
as hardcore as these guys. We walked until dark. We found a little cave in the cliffs.
Dave and John were putting up a block so that no one would attack us at night. Lucy
and I were talking in the mean time.
"So, what's your story, Vic?" She asked.
"Well, I used to live in Megaton until I decided to go out adventuring the wasteland."
"Interestin'"
"You?"
"Well I met up with Dave a few years back and became a regulater. We met John three
months ago. I guess you're the rookie now, ha."
"Uhh.. yeah," I stumbled, "So, what exactly is a regulater?"
"Well, it's our duty to protect the wasteland from scum and danger." She told me.
"Like cops?" I asked.
"Eh?" she questioned.
"Well, I read a lot of pre-war books. They had police, or cops, that protected everyone."
"Oh, heh, I don't read much."
"Well, sometimes it's all you can do."
John and Dave came back in and laid out their bedrolls. As did Lucy. I didn't have one
and felt a little akward.
"Wanna share, Vic?" Lucy asked.
"Uhh..." I stumbled. "Yeah, I guess so. Hold on, I need to do something." I went outside
by pushing a few rocks out, and started recording this log.
I guess they're eatin', 'cause I can hear some crunching. Well, time to sleep, I guess.

// Well, so I woke up in that Seneca Station at around noon. I went to thank those
two ghouls.
"No problem, smoothskin, come back if ya got anymore o' those sugar bombs."
"Sure," I lied. I loved sugar bombs. I wasn't just going to give them out to people.
After that, I left the seneca station and went west. I saw a group of guys carrying
some guys with them. Slavers. I stayed back one of the buildings near Seneca. I
could barely hear them talking, but I could...
"Aha! We got those damn losers from the power station!"
"Yeah, weenies!"
"Hahaha! Eulogy'll pay us nicely for you!"
I wanted to help them, but I couldn't. Me up against two decked out slavers? They'd
mutilate me. Or just enslave me. I wasn't going to deal with that. I crept along back
south. Looks like the west was slaver territory. I saw an destroyed overpass ahead.
I could make out some buildings on top of it. A town? I assumed so. I saw a few guys
near the river talking. One was a tall old guy dressed darkly. The other seemed to
be a young guy. About my age. I went toward them.
"Who are you?" The older man asked me.
"Just a wanderer. You guys live in that town up there?" I asked.
"I do, but not Vance." The younger guy said.
"Oh, what's going on up there? How do you get up?"
"Well, you go on that side, " He pointed, "And you'll see a few wooden planks to walk
across."
"Oh, cool. Thanks. Where do you live?" I asked the older guy.
"Over there." He replied, not pointing anywhere.
"Oh, uh... ok. Thanks." I replied. I then walked over to the entrance to the overpass
town.
Arefu, the sign leading to the overpass said. Huh. I walked up and saw the wooden
bridges. I carefully walked across. Eventually I came across an older man pointing
an assault rifle at me.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" He asked me.
"I'm just a travler, why?" I told him.
"You're not one of them, are you?" He shook his rifle.
"Them?"
"The Family!" He yelled, "Are you?"
"Uhhh... no. I'm not, why?"
"They're a gang of bandits that keep messing with us!" He told me, holstering his gun.
"You need help?" I inquired.
"Sure, how about you kill all of those fucking bandits?" He whined, sarcastically.
"Maybe I can help some other way?" I asked him, "You need supplies?"
"No, we're fine. You should leave before they attack again."
"Are you sure...?" I went on.
"Yeah, we don't need you!" He snapped, "Leave, please!"
"Uhhh... ok, sorry, I guess..." I turned around and went back down. He seemed to
need help, but wouldn't accept any. Interesting.
As I was heading back down the kid from the river was walking up.
"Uh... hey." I greeted him.
"Eh." He replied.
Eh, whatever. This town was full of loonies, anyway. I went back down and saw a
brahmin pen to my left. Must belong to the town. I saw the older guy who was talking
to the kid in the distance. He was heading north. I contemplated following him, but
decided not to. He looked like trouble. I went west, looking out for slavers. If I
met with them, life as I know it would end. Soon. I saw a building in the distance. It
looked destroyed and had a few downed pole-like things around. It appeared to be
a pre-war power station. Was it the one the slavers were talking about? I hoped not.
Then again, they cleared the place out so they probably wouldn't return any time
soon. I traveled inside. The place was a wreck. Knocked shelves, ruined books, the
likes. It looked safe to spend the night. It was getting dark. I dropped my pack in the
corner and went back outside for a bit. I looked around the building for anything
useful. The night was getting closer, so I decided to head back inside. After further
inspection I saw a few glowing Nuka-Colas like the one I found in Springvale. I never
drank it, though. I sold it to Moira to inspect. I grabbed one of the three bottles and
popped it open. It made a soothing shhhh sound. I took the cap and threw it into my
pack. I drank the Quantum Nuka-Cola. It tasted... odd. Like sugar mixed with sugar
mixed with more sugar. Damn. It was intense. It tasted amazing, though. I grabbed
another one and gulped it down. All that soda made my bladder queezy. I went outside
to take a piss break. I was freaked as fuck to see that the damn stuff made my pee
glow! Holy Shit! I decided not to drink the other one, because I wasn't sure if it
had any negative side effects. I went inside and readied for sleep. I ate some Cram
and and YumYum Eggs. Nasty, but I wanted to finish it off before it spoiled. Even
though, out here in the wasteland, everything was spoiled.
I guess it's time for sleep now. Bye.

// Well, so I woke up in that Seneca Station at around noon. I went to thank those
two ghouls.
"No problem, smoothskin, come back if ya got anymore o' those sugar bombs."
"Sure," I lied. I loved sugar bombs. I wasn't just going to give them out to people.
After that, I left the seneca station and went west. I saw a group of guys carrying
some guys with them. Slavers. I stayed back one of the buildings near Seneca. I
could barely hear them talking, but I could...
"Aha! We got those damn losers from the power station!"
"Yeah, weenies!"
"Hahaha! Eulogy'll pay us nicely for you!"
I wanted to help them, but I couldn't. Me up against two decked out slavers? They'd
mutilate me. Or just enslave me. I wasn't going to deal with that. I crept along back
south. Looks like the west was slaver territory. I saw an destroyed overpass ahead.
I could make out some buildings on top of it. A town? I assumed so. I saw a few guys
near the river talking. One was a tall old guy dressed darkly. The other seemed to
be a young guy. About my age. I went toward them.
"Who are you?" The older man asked me.
"Just a wanderer. You guys live in that town up there?" I asked.
"I do, but not Vance." The younger guy said.
"Oh, what's going on up there? How do you get up?"
"Well, you go on that side, " He pointed, "And you'll see a few wooden planks to walk
across."
"Oh, cool. Thanks. Where do you live?" I asked the older guy.
"Over there." He replied, not pointing anywhere.
"Oh, uh... ok. Thanks." I replied. I then walked over to the entrance to the overpass
town.
Arefu, the sign leading to the overpass said. Huh. I walked up and saw the wooden
bridges. I carefully walked across. Eventually I came across an older man pointing
an assault rifle at me.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" He asked me.
"I'm just a travler, why?" I told him.
"You're not one of them, are you?" He shook his rifle.
"Them?"
"The Family!" He yelled, "Are you?"
"Uhhh... no. I'm not, why?"
"They're a gang of bandits that keep messing with us!" He told me, holstering his gun.
"You need help?" I inquired.
"Sure, how about you kill all of those fucking bandits?" He whined, sarcastically.
"Maybe I can help some other way?" I asked him, "You need supplies?"
"No, we're fine. You should leave before they attack again."
"Are you sure...?" I went on.
"Yeah, we don't need you!" He snapped, "Leave, please!"
"Uhhh... ok, sorry, I guess..." I turned around and went back down. He seemed to
need help, but wouldn't accept any. Interesting.
As I was heading back down the kid from the river was walking up.
"Uh... hey." I greeted him.
"Eh." He replied.
Eh, whatever. This town was full of loonies, anyway. I went back down and saw a
brahmin pen to my left. Must belong to the town. I saw the older guy who was talking
to the kid in the distance. He was heading north. I contemplated following him, but
decided not to. He looked like trouble. I went west, looking out for slavers. If I
met with them, life as I know it would end. Soon. I saw a building in the distance. It
looked destroyed and had a few downed pole-like things around. It appeared to be
a pre-war power station. Was it the one the slavers were talking about? I hoped not.
Then again, they cleared the place out so they probably wouldn't return any time
soon. I traveled inside. The place was a wreck. Knocked shelves, ruined books, the
likes. It looked safe to spend the night. It was getting dark. I dropped my pack in the
corner and went back outside for a bit. I looked around the building for anything
useful. The night was getting closer, so I decided to head back inside. After further
inspection I saw a few glowing Nuka-Colas like the one I found in Springvale. I never
drank it, though. I sold it to Moira to inspect. I grabbed one of the three bottles and
popped it open. It made a soothing shhhh sound. I took the cap and threw it into my

// Ah, ok. I left Megaton today. I woke up, ate some Sugar Bombs, packed up, and left.
I walked out around 10:30 and met a trade caravan outside. Sheriff Simms was talking
to the man who ran the caravan. I walked up and they were talking.
"Well, sir. Is that all?" The man who ran the caravan asked Simms. He wore a fancy
suit.
"Yes, Hoff. Thank you," Simms replied and carried some stimpaks, "Why, Vic, you
leavin' already?"
"Yeah," I replied, "What's he got?" I asked.
"Chems n' meds," He told me,"Buy some, so you don't die out there." He chuckled.
"Yeah..." I walked over to the caravan, up to the fancy man, "You sell?"
"Yes, my name is Doc Hoff," He replied, "What do you need?"
"Uhh, have any stims?" I asked.
"Ahh, let us see what the good doctor has," He went to the pack brahmin and opened
up a bag. He took out a few stimpaks, "How many?"
"How much?"
"23 caps a piece."
"Ok, I'll take..."I thought. I had about six, so a few more would be helpful, "Ten?"
"Ok, sir," He grabbed the stims and I grabbed the caps, "Here, don't die!"
"Thanks." I put the stims in my pack and went off. I traveled toward Vault 101. I
liked the cave there, and wondered if it was open or not. I opened the wooden
door and saw the giant steel 101 door. Guess not. I left the cave and went toward
the north. I saw gunfire in the distance. A few raiders were fighting some big furry
things. They looked tough. I ducked by a rock and pulled out my shotgun, in case
the battle traveled over here. I saw one of the big creatures rip a raider's arm off
with it's teeth. Shit. I almost crapped my pants. The other two raiders started
running for their lives. The creatures chased them down. One lept and tackled a
raider and blood squirted around. The other raider shot the mauling creature with
a laser rifle. It's fur was instantly vaporized, but it didn't go down. The other creature
started to run after the lone raider. He threw his weapon and dashed away. A big
explosion occured behind him. He was tossing grenades as he ran. One of the
explosions caught one of the creatures. It exploded into a frenzy of blood and guts.
The other creature turned back and fled. The raider turned and looked back, shouting
insults at the monster. A nearby explosion from his grenade bounced him backword.
"SHIT!" I could hear him yell from so far away. He crawled away and dashed off.
After that fiasco, I continued, cautiously toward that direction. I saw a town in the
distance. I went toward it. It was boarded and I couldn't find a way in. Was it
abandoned? No, I saw some people inside. I went around and saw a path inside.
"H-h-hey! Who ar-are you??!!" Some dude with a rifle pointed at me.
"Just traveling. What is this place?"
"You ain't want n-nothin' to do with Big Town, bud. Best you leave before y-you
get hurt!" He threatened.
"Why, what's wrong?" I inquired.
"N-n-nothin'! We don't need no help! Muties'll kill us all anyway."
"Muties? Like, super mutants?"
"Yeah, you fuckin' stupid or s-somethin'?"
"Hey, whatever man." I turned and left. He was being an asshole, anyway. I guess
they got attacked by super mutants or something. Eh, whatever.
After that, I went northwest, across the Potomac. It was getting late, so I
started looking for a place to spend the night. I saw a few buildings and a
metro entrance. Northwest Seneca Station, the sign said. I traveled down into the
metro and saw a barrel with a flame in it near a door. I crept toward the doorway.
I heard a few people talking inside. Ghouls, by the sound of it.
"UGH! Barret! You stepped on my box!"
"Well, damn it, sorry Murphy."
"Ah, whatever. Nothin' important in 'ere anyway."
"Wait a sec..."
"What?"
"Shut up, a sec.. I hear something.."
I was near the doorway and heard one of the ghouls walk over.
"Who th' fuck are you?" He pointed an assualt rifle at me.
"S-Sorry, man. I was just lookin' for a place to stay."
"Yeah, yeah, well get the hell outta here," He barked, "We don't need any of your
kind here."
"Well wait a second," The other ghoul said walking out,"Are you here to sabatoge me?
'Cause I won't have that."
"No, I was just looking for a place to sleep for the night. Why? What are you doing?"
"Listen, kid. I'll let you stay in this place. Only if you have any Sugar bombs."
"Murphy, he could be-"
"Come on, Barret, look at him. Doesn't look like one of them."
"Eh.."
I went in my pack and grabbed a box of sugar bombs, "Uh, yeah. Why?"
"You see, I'm tryin' to make something called Ultrajet. Normal Jet don't do much for
ghouls, you see. So I'm trying to up the formula."
"Ah, I see," I handed him the box. I still had about ten boxes, but I won't give them
just yet. I love sugar bombs," Here."
"Thanks, smoothskin. You can stay over there if ya want." He pointed to a room across
the hall.
"Uhh. Thanks." I walked over to the room and layed against the wall.
Well, that's it for today.

// So, I should start off with last night. The raiders were on a patrol. There were four of
them. I couldn't take them all by myself. So I decided to just sneak away. One heard
me. I almost shit my pants. I ran. They chased me. We were on a road. I ducked behind
an old vehicle. I searched my pack for anything that would assist me. I actually
didn't need anything. A frag mine went off and blew three of them into bits. I
sighed in relief. I pulled out my pistol and finished off the last one with a few shots
to the chest. He went down. I went back to the shack and slept until 8AM today.
I dusted off and continued north toward Megaton. I fought a few mole rats and
it was a simple job. I saw the massive metal walls in the distance. I was almost there!
Well, I ran into trouble. I saw three flying things in the sky race south. They fired missles
down upon the ground. A few almost tore me up. Damn, I'm lucky. I dashed toward
Megaton ang got there at 1. I opened the main gate and was greeted by Simms.
"Hey, Vic. I remember you, how ya been?" He asked.
"Well. I came to see how the attack went. Everyone ok?" I asked, worrying.
"Those raiders? Yeah, we shot 'em up. I killed that Boppo bastard." He told me.
I sighed, "Well, glad everyone's ok. Gonna go look around."
"Yeah, be safe, Vic."
I went down to se Jenny Stahl at the Brass Lantern for some food.
"He-hey...Vic?" She greeted me.
"Yeah, decided to come back for a while." I told her, "Can I buy some Sugar Bombs?"
"Still eatin' that crap, eh Vic?" She laughed, "Still a kid, I see. 17?" She handed me a
box.
"Yeah, 18 on August 23rd." I handed the 9 caps, "Thanks."
"Take Care."
I went to go to Moriarty's and have a drink. I walked in and was greeted by a woman
named Nova.
"Hey, baby. Enjoy the place will ya?" She said to me.
"Yeah.. thanks."
She went and leaned against the wall. Who was she? Silver's replacement? I sat on a
stool.
"Hey, smoothski- wait a sec... Vic? the kid that left? Nice to see ya." Gob greeted me.
"Hey, Gob. I went to Underworld on my travels." I told him.
"Wow, really? How was it?" He asked. He poured me a drink and gave it to me.
"Interesting. I escorted a ghoul named Joe there," I took a sip. Whiskey. "Tough road."
"Sure is. Hey, you see a girl named Carol there?"
"Yeah, stayed there for two days. Why?" I took another sip. Was like water.
"She used to take care o' me back when I was there." He was cleaning glasses.
"Cool. If I go back, I'll talk to her," I finished the glass, "Well, thanks Gob. See you
'round!" I said.
"Yeah, Vic. See ya."
I left the saloon dodging Moriarty at all costs. Didn't like him. Never did. I went to the
common house and set up to sleep. Now, I'm here recording.
I also decided to stay in Megaton for a week or so. I wanted to heal up my ankle and
take a break for a while so I won't make any recordings unless something interesting
happens. See ya-

// Well, damn. I was heading to Megaton today to check up on things. I decided not to
go through DC and head around. I passed the Jefferson Memorial and there were
Super Mutants EVERYWERE! I almost got caught and that wouldn't have been pretty.
I fought a few Mirelurks on the way, but they weren't much of a problem. I fought
them when I was a kid when a mirelurk got near Megaton. Back in...I wanna say
2269, I think. Anyway, I popped three shells into each of their faces. That's were
you gotta shoot 'em. Their whole body is armored. 'Cept their faces, that is. After that
I trailed along the outskirts of DC. Nothing was there. Just... the wind. I passed a
flooded metro station and some Ghouls came out of it. I shot them with my hunting
rifle and they fell back into the station. I then turned north. I saw a huge raider camp
around the Red Racer Factory. I decided to sneak around them. I continued north and
fought a few radscorps on the way. Three of them started crawling toward me.
I pulled out my Shotgun and killed them each with just a few shots. I knew that one
sting and I'd be down for a while. It was getting dark, so I decided to lay low in a

I had some Mirelurk Cakes. The tasted funky but ok. I recieved word that Megaton
was attacked by a gang of raiders. They said that Simms took out the leader. I hope
they're ok. I should go check on them. I couldn't, though. My arm was still a little
weird and my ankle was getting infected. I saw Preston after breakfast, or whatever
a meal was called at 11. He put some medicine on the ankle wound and bandaged it.
He told me not to run or strain it in any way. I gave him 98 caps for the exam.
I then went back to the market. I went to see Seagrave Holmes about buying some
Duct tape to fix up my Shotgun. He had some. I gave hime 3 caps for it. I went back
to my hotel room and patched up my gun. Nothing else really happened today. I want
to go back to Megaton tomorrow, though. To see what's going on.

// Rivet City is massive. Huge. Giant. Safe.
Anyway today's event were kind of hectic. But I'm still alive. Right?
So I left Anacostia and my leg felt better. Still a little stingy but ok to walk on. Not run.
I left the metro and saw three dead bodies. They wore Talon Co. Armor. Who are
they? I checked the bodies for supplies. I found a notice. It said.
"Orders, Kill notice: Paladin Tristan
At all costs this paladin must die. The Brotherhood isn't on our list but this guy is
I want you, Phil and Dimitri to track him down and end him. Bring his head back as
proof. Don't die."
Looks like they died. Heh, so these guys want a Paladin dead? Jameson was tough
and this guys sounds tougher. Paladin Tristan, eh? I'll remember that.
I don't think that these guys were killed by him, though. I followed a trail of blood and
10MM casings around the block and saw a Regulator and Ghoul. The ghoul seemed to
be a regulater also. Looks like a deadlock. I checked them and found nothing of interest.
Just ammo and a few Stimpaks. I saw Rivet City to my left. It was a massive boat with
I giant rotating ramp. The ramp connected to a scaffold-type ramp. I climbed up and
saw a man, extremely ill, laying on the path.
"You need help...?" I asked.
"Wa...wa....wate...ter..." He moaned.
"Water? I have some. Here." I reached into my pack and grabbed a bottle of water
that I bought from Underworld.
"No... not that. Has to be fresh. I can't drink that.... irradiated...anymore.."
"That's all I have. I'm...I'm sorry. Why don't you go to Rivet City?"
"They...won't.. accept me...."
"Why not?
"They...they...." He passed out. I saw an intercom and pressed the button.
"Welcome to Rivet City." It buzzed. The ramp moved over and
I walked to the ramp. a man on the other side stopped me.
"Stop right there. Who are you and what buisness do you have here?" He asked.
"Just passing through. Is there a doctor here?" I told him.
"Yeah, at the back. Don't make a mess."
"I'll try not to." He let me pass and I saw two doors. I was confused.
"Market, and rooms." He pointed to the doors.
"Thanks." I opened the door to the market and it was crowded. Tons of people were
walking around. People were exchanging items and caps were clanging. I saw a man
to my left. There were weapons strewn across the table. I approached him, "Hello?"
"If you want any of this shit, just say so." He told me, smug.
"Uhh... yeah. I'd like 100 caps worth of shotgun shells." I gave him the caps.
"Sure, 50 shells." He gave them to me. I put them in my pack, "Come back. This is
Flak n' Shrapnel's."
"Thanks."
I went across the main area and went to a clothing shop.
"Welcome to Potomac Attire." The well-dressed man told me. "My name is Bannon."
"So... got any armor here?" I inquired.
"Why, yes. I have some Leather Armor." He showed me.
"Sure, that looks good, I'll take it."
"192 caps."
"Seems fair." I handed him the caps, "Thanks."
I went to the bathroom near the market to put on the leather armor. As I was equiping
it, I heard gunfire from the market. I grabbed my pistol and peeked through door. I
saw three bodies on the ground. The shops were empty. Raiders came through the
main door. Six of them. The security was across the main area, in cover, shooting
assualt rifles at the clump of raiders. Two raiders were hit and fell. The other's
dashed into cover. I was behind them and decided to flank. I holstered my pistol, and
brought out my Rifle. I aimed at a raider's head. I took the shot and her head blew
off. The other three raiders saw me and ran at me. The Security on the other side
took advantage of them crossing and took shots. Two more fell. The last raider aimed
his laser pistol at me and fired. The laser hit my right arm. It went completely numb.
Shrapnel came through the main door and smashed the lone raider in the head with
a baseball bat. His teeth flew out of his mouth and blood dribbled down his nose.
"You ok?!" He screamed at me. The other security officers went to help the people
caught in the cross fire.
"I...I...can't feel my arm..." My arm was numb and felt a little burning sensation.
"Dr. Preston is coming, hold on." He went to help the others.
After he inspected me, he said my arm would be ok in about six hours. He told me to
go talk to Vera Weatherly to rent a hotel room for the night. I went over to her
across to the ship and asked her for a room. She told me 120 caps. I complied and
handed her the money. She gave me the key and I went into the room. I went to
the bed and placed my gear on it. I ate some Sugar Bombs and started recording.
I still can barely feel my arm, but it's getting better. I hope.

// Rivet City is massive. Huge. Giant. Safe.
Anyway today's event were kind of hectic. But I'm still alive. Right?
So I left Anacostia and my leg felt better. Still a little stingy but ok to walk on. Not run.
I left the metro and saw three dead bodies. They wore Talon Co. Armor. Who are
they? I checked the bodies for supplies. I found a notice. It said.
"Orders, Kill notice: Paladin Tristan
At all costs this paladin must die. The Brotherhood isn't on our list but this guy is
I want you, Phil and Dimitri to track him down and end him. Bring his head back as
proof. Don't die."
Looks like they died. Heh, so these guys want a Paladin dead? Jameson was tough
and this guys sounds tougher. Paladin Tristan, eh? I'll remember that.
I don't think that these guys were killed by him, though. I followed a trail of blood and
10MM casings around the block and saw a Regulator and Ghoul. The ghoul seemed to
be a regulater also. Looks like a deadlock. I checked them and found nothing of interest.
Just ammo and a few Stimpaks. I saw Rivet City to my left. It was a massive boat with
I giant rotating ramp. The ramp connected to a scaffold-type ramp. I climbed up and
saw a man, extremely ill, laying on the path.
"You need help...?" I asked.
"Wa...wa....wate...ter..." He moaned.
"Water? I have some. Here." I reached into my pack and grabbed a bottle of water
that I bought from Underworld.
"No... not that. Has to be fresh. I can't drink that.... irradiated...anymore.."
"That's all I have. I'm...I'm sorry. Why don't you go to Rivet City?"

// Well I didn't make it to Rivet City yet. I'm staying in Anacostia Metro for the night.
I heard a bunch of commotion and gunfire above, so I'll just stay here. So to recap
the day.
I left Underworld at around 10AM. Jameson had gone back to the Washington Monument
yesterday. I snuck around through the Mall. Dodging Super Mutants. I arrived at a
metro tunnel and went through. I had trouble with a few mole rats. I pulled my shotty
out and shot the one. The other dashed around and dodged my shots. I pulled out my
pistol and rapid fired near the rat. I got it after about three shots. I shot it again and
it died. I continued and heard some raiders. I wanted to avoid raiders at all costs but
one of them saw me. There were two of them.
"Doucheballs! A fucker over there!" One of them screamed. He had a distinct accent.
I reached for my rifle. I checked it and it was full. I dashed around the corner and shot
the accented one in the leg twice. He screamed and fell down.
"Asswipe!" The other one screamed. He had a similar accent.
I reloaded my rifle and dashed into cover by a broken wall. The one I shot was till
screaming. I took out my pistol and blindfired around the corner. The shots pinged
off of the pipes in the roof. I was way off. The raider was threataning me and shooting
wildly. I reloaded my pistol and replaced it with my shotgun. I then charged out and shot
at him. The shots hit his chest. Some pellets pinged off his armor the other sunk in.
He would've been ok. If I didn't shoot again. This time I hit his head. It no longer
resembled a head. A human head, anyway.
Then, a sharp pain hit my ankle. The raider on the ground threw a knife at my leg.
It hurt like hell. I took out my pistol and placed it on his forehead. He spit at me and
said, "Do it, cunt!"
I took the shot. His brains splattered on the ground behind him. I limped over to the
broken wall were I took cover. I sat down and took some medical equipment out of
my pack at tried to fix it up. It wasn't much but it helped. I sat there for about three
hours and got up. I limped further in the tunnels. I needed to find a doctor. Maybe
at Rivet City. Hopefully. It was starting to get a little better. It wasn't a deep cut, but
it still hurt like hell. I then heard the battle outside. I went back in a bit into a
maintenance room and set up camp. I used a stimpak and ate some Mutfruit and
some sugar bombs. It's time for sleep.

Sydney was saying hi to a few of the residents. She wasn't a ghoul, though. I approached
her and said hi.
"So, you a ghoul ...?" She said comically.
"Nope, just a dude. What are you doing here? Spending the night like me?" I asked.
"Nah, I come here sometimes. Most ghouls don't hit on me, " She said, "I'm heading to
the archives to fetch this thing for a guy up at Rivet City."
"Rivet City?" I asked, I've heard of it, but didn't know where it was.

"Sure, by the way, what's you name? I'm Sydney."
"Victor."
She walked around to say hi to few people. I went back to my room to collect my pack.

// I can't believe it. Richard didn't make it. (Scream)
At least we got Joe here, though. God damn Muties. I can't fucking believe it. I guess
I should explain what happened.
Well, we were on our way. We saw the Museum of History right there. Right there!
We were ambushed by two Muties. Jameson was shooting one. Joe and Richard were
shooting the other. I was heading around and loading my hunting rifle. Jameson melted
the one and was reloading his laser rifle. Joe was getting scared. He was backpeddling.
The mutant, in rage, grabbed Richard by the face and slamed his head into the ground.
It dissolved into the rubble.
"Fuck!" We screamed in unison. He was dead.
I popped a few shots into it's head and he screamed and died. We were heading to the
museum and three more mutants were chasing us screaming, "Get them!" A ghoul outside
the museum was shooting a laser rifle at them. Jameson turned around and shot while
backpeddling. I blindfired with my pistol, probably doing nothing.I heard two die in screams
and the ghoul screamed, "Hurry!"
I turned and took aim at the mutant's head. BAM. I took the shot. It's head exploded
in a frenzy of blood and brain.
We continued to meet the ghoul. Her name was Willow.
"You tourists aren't doing well out here." she said, "I see you lost a guy, sorry."
"Thanks for the assist." Jameson said to her. He didn't really care about Richard. He
didn't know him. And neither did I. But he was my first friend from the wastleland.
Damn.
On to Underworld I guess. We entered the place and was greeted by a ghoul named
Winthrop. He told us he was in need of scrap metal. I grabbed some out of my pack.
and handed it to him.
"Thanks," he replied, "Here, take this." He handed me a Stimpak. I felt like shit, but I
didn't use it. I didn't need to.
"Any where we could spend the night?" I asked.
"Sure, ask Carol." He replied.
There were ghouls everywhere. I've never seen so many. Then again the only ghoul
I've ever seen was Gob. Well, not counting feral ghouls, of course.
I went to Carol's Place and asked for a room. She said it was 120 caps. I agreed. Joe
went to his long friend, Tulip. I checked my pack in my room.
I had:
1 Nuka-Cola
1 Nuka-Cola Quantum
1 10MM Pistol
1 Combat Shotgun
1 Hunting Rifle
13 10MM rounds
12 .32 rounds
26 Shells

Let me tell you what happened.
I arrived at a metro station at around 8AM, I armed my Shotgun and headed in.
I traveled through the tunnels and went up to a locked gate. I picked it and continued.
I saw a creature in the darkness. A.. ghoul? Yes, a ghoul. Not like Gob from Megaton but,
a... feral ghoul. It charged at me and swung his left arm at me and I fell back. I aimed
my shotgun at it and fired.
I missed.
I got back up and it charged at me. I kicked it and it fell back. I aimed my shotty at it's
chest and shot. It's torso exploded and left a hole. I then went on. I turned around and
it was still alive. I couldn't believe it. I took out my pistol and shot it twice in the head.
After I continured through to the surface, I saw another ghoul and shotgunned in the
head. It exploded. I continued to the surface. I saw a giant Super Mutant fighting a
Brotherhood of Steel guy. The Brotherhood guy was shooting a laser rifle at the Mutant's
Face. The creature fell down and died. I went after the Brotherhood guy but he was gone.
<Crunch>
// So, it was about 8PM and I tried to find a place to sleep. I saw a collapsed building and
climbed in. I saw a man in a duster sitting inside. He saw me and went for his gun.
"I mean no harm. Looking for a place to sleep," I said.
"Yeah, sure. You can stay here. Name's Richard. You?
"Victor. Victor Dunn."
"Nice to meet 'cha."
Richard was a tall white guy with a scruffly beard. He told me that he was a Regulater.

I was born. I am 17 years old. I wanted to explore the wasteland so here I am.
I'll recap today's events now. Ok, well I set up camp in the cave connecting Vault 101
and the wasteland. I'd like to go in the vault but it doesn't open. Anyway, around 11AM
I left and went outside. I was greeted by a Bloatfly. Little did he know that I happened
to have a 10MM Pistol. I shot it twice in the head and it squished to the ground. A Pistol
was nice against a Bloatfly, but not a Radscorp or Raiders. I decided to head back
to Megaton to see Moira. I purchased a Combat Shotgun and thirty shells. It cost me a
total of 356 caps. I had been saving for a while so it was no problem. I said bye and left.

// I'm eating Sugar Bombs right now.

destroyed town. I saw a Nuka-Cola Vending Machine and checked inside. There was
two Nuka-Colas and a..a.. Quantum? A Nuka-Cola Quantum. It glowed a bright blueish
color. I drank a regular Nuka-Cola and put the others in my pack.

// I checked around and found a house. I knocked and no one answered. I opened the door
A girl named Silver pointed a pistol at me. "Woah! I'm not gonna hurt you!" I screamed.
"Who the fuck are... wait I know you!" She screamed. She lowered the gun and continued,
"You're that kid from Megaton. What the fuck are you doing here?"
I replied with, "I left Megaton to explore. Why'd you leave? Moriarty is pissed! He sent
a guy to find you, "
"Well, fuck him. I left that asshole. I'm tired of being a whore."
"How are you getting food and equipment here?" I asked.
"Actually, I need some more food. If you could help a girl out I'd appreiciate it,"
"Sure, I'll go back to Megaton and get you some things, how much?"
"This ought to cover it. Keep the change, " She handed me 160 caps. I left and went
back to Megaton. I bought a week's worth of food for 137 caps at the Brass Lantern.
I returned to Silver and gave her the food.
"Thanks, sugar." She said gratefully.
"No problem." I told her, "Need anything else?"
"No, I'm good. Thanks."
I then left. I was traveling and I saw a few guys in big clunky armor. It was painted
red and black. I went to talk to them.
"Go bother the Brotherhood or something," A girl in the armor told me.
"Uh.. ok then." I replied.

// I went back to the Vault 101 cave and set u camp. Here I am.

// Back. I guess I 'oughtta tell who I am. My name is Victor Dunn. I lived in Megaton since
I was born. I am 17 years old. I wanted to explore the wasteland so here I am.
I'll recap today's events now. Ok, well I set up camp in the cave connecting Vault 101
and the wasteland. I'd like to go in the vault but it doesn't open. Anyway, around 11AM
I left and went outside. I was greeted by a Bloatfly. Little did he know that I happened
to have a 10MM Pistol. I shot it twice in the head and it squished to the ground. A Pistol
was nice against a Bloatfly, but not a Radscorp or Raiders. I decided to head back
to Megaton to see Moira. I purchased a Combat Shotgun and thirty shells. It cost me a
total of 356 caps. I had been saving for a while so it was no problem. I said bye and left.
<Crunch>
// I'm eating Sugar Bombs right now.
<Crunch>
// So I went back to the Vault's cave to collect my gear. I headed north and found a
destroyed town. I saw a Nuka-Cola Vending Machine and checked inside. There was
two Nuka-Colas and a..a.. Quantum? A Nuka-Cola Quantum. It glowed a bright blueish
color. I drank a regular Nuka-Cola and put the others in my pack.
<Crunch>
// I checked around and found a house. I knocked and no one answered. I opened the door
A girl named Silver pointed a pistol at me. "Woah! I'm not gonna hurt you!" I screamed.
"Who the fuck are... wait I know you!" She screamed. She lowered the gun and continued,
"You're that kid from Megaton. What the fuck are you doing here?"
I replied with, "I left Megaton to explore. Why'd you leave? Moriarty is pissed! He sent

// I found this thing near Vault 101. It was on a chick dressed in a Vault Suit outside the
door. Guess people do still live in there.
<Footsteps>
// Anyway, though I'd start making a holotape journal like the one on here.
<Click, Click>
// Says, "Doc Sarah's vault records," oh wait, wrong one. That's somethin' else.
"Doc Sarah's vault expereince," is the holotape journal. Let me play it.

// I am Sarah. Resident of Vault 101. The date is September 14th, 2276. I was--
<Beep>
// Shit, guess it's corrupted. Ah well. So I was thinking since I'm heading out of Megaton
to explore the wasteland that I'd keep a journal of my expereinces. Holotapes are
easier and now since I found this Pip-Boy I can make them easily. I'll do one every night
starting tomorrow.
