The Nuka Caravan

Prologue

-Reawakening-

Everything was black... the foul smell of chemicals filled the air. His heart began to beat faster as panic sat in, he fumbled around and felt his hands hit the enclosed space he was currently trapped in. He slowed and began to feel the space he was trapped in, it was cylindrical in nature... like he was in some form of tube. The front of the tube seemed smother and more cracked then the small space behind him... so, he had to make a choice, sit in the enclosed space or try and kick the front of it out... He braced his back against the space and began to push as hard as he could with his feet against the front of the tube. The front slowly began to crack until it finally fell forward, and he fell with it. The smell of chemicals only grew worse as he tried to breathe in and out, after he managed to get some oxygen back into his lungs, he slowly rose to his feet and looked around. Only now did he come to feel the piercing pain in the forefront of his mind, it felt as if someone had rammed a wrench into his skull. He tried to recall how he had gotten to this place, this lab... Nothing. He tried to recall his name... Nothing. The more he attempted to remember the more his mind screamed out at him, the pain was more then dizzying... it was as if his mind was trying to dissolve. He pulled himself off of the grimy floor and began to look for anything he could use as clothes... He slowly walked though the hallways and ruined corridors of this hellish lab, a large hunk of metal in his hands was his weapon. He slowly came to an unopened door and proceeded to pry it open, and as he did, a skeleton adorned in a blue jumpsuit fell forward and caused him to jump back. Without much of an option, he pried the jumpsuit off of the skeleton and put it on... it had something printed on the back, an insignia of sorts. Vault 100...? How did he get here? Where was he? Well, the Vault 100 jumpsuit answered that question. He slowly continued his search of this hellish landscape, Where ever this place was, it was obvious all hell had broken loose. He slowly walked along a long stretch of corridor and noticed something... himself, He had seen his own reflection in the ruined smudged glass. His eyes and hair were... glowing? Time seemed to pass faster as he stood and stared at his own reflection... at his glowing hair and eyes... was he an experiment? As he stared into his reflection, he saw something in the glass move... he squinted and soon ducked as a immensely over sized roach leaped from the opposite wall. It Skittered and screeched as it slammed into the glass and fell to the floor, where it was soon smashed into a dozen pieces with the large hunk of metal. "Disgusting..." He almost jumped at the sound of his own voice... it had been a while since the last time he spoke. How long? He had no idea. He kicked the remains of the roach across the hall and sighed as he continued his walk down the hall, and into one of the less ruined labs. On the table laid a little miracle in the form of a 10mm pistol, it's not much in the line of defense, but it was a start. He took the weapon with out hesitation and checked the magazine, 12 shots... he had better make them count. -Click- With the safety off, He slowly made his way to the upper levels of the massive vault. "What the hell happened to this place...?" He slowly mumbled to himself, "Why am I glowing...? Radiation maybe?" he sighed and rubbed his head before he finally came up to the massive Rusted vault door. The console that controlled the door seemed to be covered in old, dried blood... fantastic. He hit a few buttons on the console and activated some kind of fail-safe as the massive mechanical outer workings of the vault door sprung to life, and the giant steel door of Vault 100 screeched open, where he was greeted by blinding sunlight. He stumbled out of the vault and looked out onto the horizon... the destroyed and desolated landscape gave him a sense of calm. His eyes slowly fell upon another victim to what ever happened withing Vault 100, a skeleton wearing the same Vault 100 jumpsuit was laid out in the sun... their bones bleached white and a rather interesting device on their wrist. With slight hesitation, he pulled the device off of the Skeleton's wrist and put it on his own, it was none other than a RobCo Pip-Boy. So, with gun in hand, he slowly made his way out into the wasteland..
