The next day, Albert, Sarah, and Charon were in the old classroom, waiting for the vault dwellers to arrive.
Most of the vault dwellers then entered the classroom, some didn't bother to show up.
"Alright, first up we're gonna talk about the dangers or radiation" said Albert.
"What, to get super powers?" Wally Mack said.
"No, dumbass. So you'll avoid ending up looking like Charon here" said Albert as he pointed to Charon with his thumb.
"What happened to him?" asked Christine.
"Too much radiation transformed me into a ghoul. Now I'm stuck like this" said Charon.
"So, if you don't wanna end up like him, then listen to this presentation we have" said Albert as he activated the projector and began the presentation.
Most people listened to the presentation, save for Wally, who was scrolling through his Pip-Boy the entire time.
After that, they went down to the lower levels, where there was the shooting range Albert's father set up for him years ago.
"Next up, you're gonna learn how to use a gun so you'll be able to defend yourselves out there in the wasteland" said Albert.
The vault dwellers were each handed a laser pistol.
"We'll start with these, since they're standard Brotherhood issue and do a decent amount of damage" said Albert.
Some vault dwellers, like Stanley, Wally, Pepper, and Ellen Deloria glanced at the guns they were holding, then glanced at Albert.
"Don't even think about it" said Albert.
Once the vault dwellers had some target practice (on the targets, not Albert) Albert and the Brotherhood called it a day.
Over the next few days, Albert and the others trained the vault dwellers who participated to the best of their abilities. But there was a lot of hate growing from the vault dwellers who still blamed Albert for what happened two years ago.
Then one day, when they were all in the atrium.
"Alright, everyone. Good job on your training. We'll call it a day" said Albert as he was about to head back to his room with Sarah.
The vault dwellers who had a grudge against Albert couldn't take it anymore. They had to say something.
"You have no right to be here!" said Alphonse.
"Excuse me?" said Albert.
"We were doing just fine before you and your mutant freaks and Power Armor freaks showed up! Now you're gonna get us all killed!" said Pepper.
"If you all stay trapped in here then eventually you're gonna run out of supplies and people to run the vault. With the vault opening, you'll get more trade and people who can help you keep things going" said Albert.
"Bullshit! All you outsiders are savages who are gonna kill us all! You're father opened the vault during the radroach infestation, and look what happened! People died! It's all because of you, your father, and Jonas!" said Allen.
