White. That was all I could see. After my eyes adjusted to a light that was in front of, I saw I was in a bed and a man, sitting next to me, looked like he was in his 40's. I don't remember what happened.

Solar: *grudge* What... what happened?

???: Hey, you're awake.

Solar: Who are you? Where am I?

???: I'm doc Mitchell, welcome to goodsprings.

Solar: Hey. Ughh... my head. What happened?

Doc: Well, a few days ago I went to the cemetery near the town, and out of nowhere, I heard a shot. In the wasteland, that's normal, but then I saw three people, one with a checkered suit an the other two in Great Khan armor. After they ran off to Primm, I went up the hill to see what they shot, and low and behold, I saw a hand sticking out the dirt. At first I thought you were a ghoul, but then a I saw you were normal. I had a securitron help me dig you out and saw you had a bullet in your head. I'm surprised you're still alive.

Solar: How bad was it?

I felt something, like string, on top of my left eyebrow. I then remembered about the package.

Solar: The package!

Doc: Whoa. Slow down Sonny. You just woke up from a coma. I need you to stand up.

When I tried to stand up, my vision went blurry, I felt weak all over my body, I couldn't stand up right, but I got the hang of it.

Doc: Go to the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. slot there. It shows what kind of person you are.

I walked over, and it was a slot machine. It said "You're special".

S: Strength: 5
P: Perception: 5
E: Endurance: 6
C: Charisma: 7
I: Intelligence: 6
A: Agility: 4
L: Luck: 5

Doc: Not bad. Never seen someone with that kind of score. Come. Meet me in the living room. I need to know some things about you.

Solar: What's this about?

Doc: I need to know about your medical history and what kind of person you are. I'm pretty sure getting shot in the head and surviving is now on that. *Laughter*

Solar. First off, rude. Secondly, I'm someone who is nice and who tries to solve problems without fighting.

Doc: Hmm, basically, you are easy to kill. Don't worry. Someone in the local saloon can teach you how to fight. Come. Meet me at my door.

When I walked to the exit, he handed me a vault suit, a blue and yellow suit. Then, he handed me something that looked like a brick you can strap on your arm.

Doc: Here. Take this. A vault suit so that people don't make fun of you that much, and take this as will. They call it a "Pip-Boy". They used these in the vault, but I have no use for this anymore.

Solar: Thanks for patching me up doc. I really appreciate it.

Doc: Don't mention it. It's want I do. Now go meet sunny. She will you about how to fight.

As I headed to the saloon, I wondered, "Why would someone try to kidnap a courier and then kill them just for a gambling chip?"
