When I finally woke up, I was met by a bald man with a warm, friendly expression. "Good Morning stranger! Hope you don't mind but I patched up that arm of yours. By the looks of it, you passed the deathclaw sanctuary by the mines." Even his voice was friendly. Something seemed off about this town... "Who are you..?" I said, wincing from a migraine as I tried to sit up. "Take it easy partner, you need to rest. My name is doc Mitchell. You dont look like you're from around here. What vault are you from?"
"Zero"
The Doc froze. "So you're from all the way up in the commonwealth? How the hell did you get to the Mojave?"
"I walked."
The Doc once again froze.
"I need to know the easiest way to cross the glowing sea." I stated firmly.
"The easiest way would be to get a suit of that fancy power armor. But that isn't common around here these days. You could try the brotherhood of steel.." Of course! The Brotherhood always had knights in suits. Maybe with the proper equipment I could take out an isolated group. "I've got another question for ya doc, where can I get a good weapon?"
He smiled and replied "Well, if you can make it to New Vegas, you can get your hands on a Gauss Rifle."
I finally had an objective. Get to New Vegas, get a gauss rifle, take down a Brotherhood of steel patrol, and get back home. But why did I even want to get home? If anyone had a chance of survival, it was the overseer. The overseer was a roboticist, and could augment me with a new arm.
"You still with me pal?" Doc calls out to me. I snap back to reality. "What?"
He chuckles. "I asked your
name, if you didn't mind." I let out a small laugh. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier. My name is Nero, and I am the lone survivor of vault Zero."
