Fallout: Undaunted

Prologue

The year is 2279, and things are changing in ruins of what was the town of Edenton, North Carolina. Not too long after hearing about trouble up in the Capital Wasteland, trouble came to the Albemarle Wasteland, named because of the Albemarle Sound that had brought Edenton forms of commerce in the past. Strange soldiers in suits of power armor bearing symbols of the American flag with an E surrounded by stars began coming into the ruined town by means of air transport. They set up defenses at the courthouse and neighboring post office. They never troubled anybody, and actually went around to the small, but friendly settlement known as "The Big K" which was a building supply store that was a fair walk away. The soldiers bartered their way to some paint and repainted their armor and air transports a navy blue sort of color. After they had settled in, the real trouble came in. Hulking green humanoids that were called super mutants by the soldier types came into town en masse, taking over the majority of the ruins around North Oakum Street. This led to a war occurring as the mutants began to send scouts down towards the soldiers' base. This started two years ago. It still continues.

A vault had been constructed underneath the local hospital and a large store, providing more than enough space for the vault's residence to dwell and grow in. The entrance was located in a small building with an elevator leading down to the vault's door. This building was in a wooded thicket directly beside the large shop. Because of this, the entire portion of the vault closest to the hospital lay abandoned, except for the robots used to repair and maintain the area. The area was kept up so that as more "vault dwellers" were born, they had more places to go. There was also a small entrance/exit that was directly inside the hospital for easier access by some medical personnel. The vault's size is around that of two average vaults, and because of this, there are two of everything normally provided within a vault, including large clinics, armories, and atriums. This lead to there being two Overseers to control the vault as well. The vault was christened "Vault 221" to coincide with all other vaults being named in a similar fashion. With the "simple" history of recent events and other things included, it's time I get down to business. Vault 221 opened 14 years ago when I was 8 years old. I'm 22 now. I was one of the first people out because my dad was the second Overseer. My name is Everett Adam Stallings, and this is my story, past and current.
