Fallout Of War

Pilot

I woke up. I got dressed. I got to the bathroom and looked into the mirror. My husband, Nate, came in and told me not to take long. I got my teal hair brushed. I went to get my coffee from Adam,  my family's Mr. Handy. Of course him and the Mr. Gusty, Neil, were "hanging out". Really, Neil was questioning the hell out of Adam as he did his normal tasks. I picked up my adorable kitten, Zuri, and laughed as Adam explained everything to Neil. That's when it happened. I heard the T.V. Alarms. Screams. Running. I held Zuri close and ran to the vault with Nate. We were let in,  and then I saw it in the distance. A small spec,  falling,  falling, falling, fallen. Exploding. The mushroom cloud slowly rose and I prepared for the first wave to hit,  when the vault elevator started. I looked up to see the door closing and the shock and radiation waves passing over us. We're safe. They led us to vault suits. I even got Zuri a Vault 111 scarf. We were put in chambers,  and while I held my kitten,  I stared into the hallway. Ice crawled onto the corners of the glass,  and everything slowly turned black.

I woke up,  seeing body body's scattered on the ground.  They were wearing cage armour with weird weapons,  made of pipes. A few body's had an odd symbol and seemed to be military. Zuri hopped out as I fell to the ground. Every other chamber was filled with bullets. Nate had a knife stuck through his. And I was untouched. I grabbed stimpacks and ammo off all the guys and picked up a gun. Zuri hopped on my shoulders as I walked away from the bloodbath. I picked up a few more stimpacks, ammo, and a pack of cigarettes. Mabey I can find a lighter somewhere.   I saw the vault door and a pip-boy on the ground. What luck. I put it on, opened the door and went up the elevator. But touching the outside air hurt.  I felt something in my back,  and couldn't find Zuri. I saw my ears drop off. My tailbone grew into a tail. I was covered in patches of bluish grey fur. My teeth sharpened. My nails became claws. And the sunlight grew far too bright. I let my eyes adjust, looking over my home. It was destroyed.  I ran down to my house, not seeing Adam or Neil. But I did feel a gun at the back of my head. I heard Zuri's thoughts race through my mind, and I picked up a photo of me in the army. I moved it so it could reflect the man behind me. He was one of those military guys, with the winged sword symbol. Like from the vault. I saw him gasp at the photo and step back. I went through my house,  looking at all the photos on the walls. And stopped at the most recent one. It was a selfie of me and Zuri, eating a Cookies And Cream polar pizza. The man behind me spun me around, looking into my eyes. A Mr. Gusty came over to inspect me. A Mr. Handy rushed over and yelled "Miss Skylar! Your home! Where's master Nate? And what happened to you?  Where's Zuri??" The Gusty looked at him.  "Are you insane?  Are you broken?  That's clearly not Skylar. She can't be alive after three hundred years!" I rolled my eyes saying "Still a fucking asshole,  aren't ya Neil. I swear to God I should have scrapped you for parts when I had the chance!" Neil looked at me, aiming his gun at me,  as to which I said "Over Run program 33b code 2eight6hellcatsfirearm model A.B. Series Seven." Neil immediately shut down. Adam had them put me on a stretcher and take me too their base. After I laid down, I slowly fell into darkness.
