The age beyond the apocalypse

The recovery

one year later...

baby James woke crying in his cribbed. the shiny metallic door slid open letting mr. Helpful enter the room. Mr.Helpful was a robot, like the mr.Handy and the mr.Gutsly, except mr.Helpful looked after babies. Mr.Helpful spoke; "Smells like someone needs a diper change! Smells like sssssomeone nnnnneeedsss a diperrrrrr ch...chchch...change...SMELLS LLLLLLIKE...SSSSS...TSSS...TSSS...1110100101100111101011001101 there was a bang. The back of mr.Helpfuls head exploded with sparks, and mr.Helpful fell to the floor. the door slid open again letting in a technician. The technition had light brown hair with a gingery shine, he wore a vault utility jumpsuit, he had glasses, and he always had a pencil rested on his right ear. the technician ducked to his knees and stared at the mr.Helpful scratching his head. "hmmm, its seems it's central processing unit has malfunctioned...again! Stupid thing! always breaking down!" the technician muttered to himself. Officer Parker entered the room scratching his dark grey hair. Officer Parker always had a serious look on his face. He had a huge scar across one side of his face, which was caused by an attack with a combat knife, he had dark brown eyes and he would go to the vault's fitness centre to workout at the gym three nights a week. Officer Parker picked up James and put him with some toys. "Ababa agoo" James said as he played with his toys. "That's right James, that is a nuka~cola truck!" Officer Parker softly said. "Aha hey Rick, how ya doin?" Asked the technician. "what do you want Simon? Oh, and don't call me by my name, it's officer Parker to you!" Replied Officer Parker. "Aha so can't we just speak as old friends?" Asked Simon the technician. "We where once best friends, but then you screwed it up! Ill never forget what you did!" Replied officer Parker "c'mon rick, can't we just put that behind us?" Asked Simon "What you did was unforgivable! And for the last time; call me officer Parker!" Replied officer Parker angrily. The intercom rung. It was Dr. Walters "officer Parker, you'll want to get down here to the clinic with James!"

Officer Parker arrived at the clinic with James on his back. "Ah, Officer Parker. How's James been doing?"asked Dr. Walters holding a clipboard. "what is it Doctor?" Asked officer Parker. "It's James's mother, Liza, she is awakening! Follow me!" Instructed Dr. Walters. They arrived at the bed. James reached out and grabbed Lisa's face. Lisa's face twitched, then her eye lids started to move, shortly after, her eyes fluttered open. She slowly looked around the room until she saw James. she then spoke in a shaky voice."J...James is that...is that you?" She asked. "Congratulations mrs. Stoke you have made a healthy recovery. Now tell me, can you move your fingers? "W...where am I?where's J...Jack? Wh...who are you? She asked all panicky. Dr. Walters replied "Ah yes, allow me to explain; the metal thing you where in had seemed to have crashed. You and James where the only survivors" Liza replied. "You mean...jacks...?" "We're sorry mrs. Stoke, there was nothing we could of done." Said Dr. Walters "No...Nooo! Liza screened as she broke down into tears. "W...where am I now?" Liza asked. The doctor answered "you're in a vault" "What...No...No anything but a vault, please!" Screamed Liza. Dr. Walters turned to officer Parker. "Officer Parker, you will look after James for now. Liza just needs time to get over her loss." He instructed...
