War. War never changes.
In the year 1945, my great-great grandfather, serving in the army, wondered when he'd get to go home to his wife and the son he'd never seen. He got his wish when the US ended World War II by dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshim...
(Nathan wakes up in a hospital bed in the prydwen, and he tries to sit up, only to feel some pain in his back)
Nico: Woah there, take it easy. Wasn't easy to patch you up from that fall
Nathan: Nico? Man, have I got a story to tell you guys
Nico: You can tell us all about it once you're up and out of bed. Here, take this for the pain
(Nico hands Nathan a small inhaler, and he takes some painkillers)
Nathan: Ugh! It tastes awful!
Nico: That's how you know it's working
Nathan: How long have I been out?
Nico: For about a day and a half now
Curie: Monsieur Nico, it would seem your experimental treatment was successful!
Nathan: What experimental treatment?
Nico: When we found you, you were fighting for your life. Your back was fractured, and you were bleeding from the glass. I had to resort to a treatment I've only ever used once before
Nathan: Which was?
Nico: It's hard to explain. Probably better if I show you. Don't freak out
Nathan: Ok
(Nico shoots a weak laser out of his eyes, and he seals a crack in the wall)
Nathan: Wha-? How-? You-...
Nico: Yeah, I know. Freaky. It's effective, but it makes my eyeballs itch and burn
Nathan: I'd rather stay on your good side
Nora: Nate!
(Nora runs up to Nathan and hugs him)
Nora: I was worried about you
Nathan: You've got bandages on your stomach
Nora: It'll heal. I'm just glad we're both still in one piece
Nico: You know what? I think it's time I showed you something. Follow me
(Nathan and Nico head to the power armor racks of the prydwen)
(They find a suit similar to Nico's power armor, but it has a jetpack, machine guns on the arms, a heavy cannon on one shoulder, and a missile launcher on the other shoulder)
Nathan: Holy hell. Who wears this thing?
Owen: That would be me
(Nathan looks down and sees ten year old Owen Lyons)
Owen: You must be Mr. Nathan
Nathan: Please, call me Nate
Nico: Oh yeah, this is Owen. My little prodigy is currently manning the battle tank. It's a little side project I've been working on
Owen: Did you show him Liberty Prime yet?
Nico: I was just getting to that. Follow me
(Nico leads Nathan and Nora down to the airport, and they see a giant robot being constructed by Ingram, Doctor Li, and a bunch of scribes)
