...Initiating code name: OPERATION: PRESERVATION.




Welcome [NAME CLASSIFIED]! When you're ready, please speak into your provided automated diary and begin your selfless journey to which you have devoted yourself from shielding humanity against the impending consequences resulting from an apocalyptic inducing war! Phew! What a mouthful! Of course, since this is humanities' fault (and not yours), this means that as a Knight of Knowledge it is your sworn duty to defend against complacency when nuclear devastation...well....devastates the globe of course! Oh...but think of it not as the "end" of the world, but rather, a great cleansing! A fresh start! A new beginning that YOU are lucky enough to participate in! While the world withers away from the horrors of the nuclear firestorm, you'll be there to fertilize the seeds of not only knowledge, but prosperity as well, spreading the relics of our wonderful world far into the future, and if you're lucky, who knows? Maybe into the cosmos itself! How exciting! So prepare yourself for a once in a lifetime opportunity, but most importantly, remember to have fun! Absolutely NO pressure! After all, future historians will look back to this day as either a milestone in history, or the big blunder that doomed the human race for all of ETERNITY! And you'll have no one to blame but YOURSELF! Take pride in knowing that your decision, and it alone, will impact civilization as we know it, and assuming you screw up, there's no need to have a tragic epiphany, because statistically speaking, your odds of causing total genocide are slightly higher than that of a nuclear war! And let's be honest....we all know that was just an unfortunate coincidence to begin with!



And so, without further ado, let's get light this candle! Good luck!

I generally liked but found the story to be a little confusing when it came to just what happened and who did what. I gained understanding as I went through it. Still, perhaps it can do with some clarification. Just what is high above California and just how is it above California?

I guess you'll have to keep on reading and find out. That's the mystery after all. ;) Edited July 28, 2012 by Keanumoreira

Okay, so I removed some things here, added somethings there, and touched somethings up to make the plot less confusing or mundane. It doesn't need a serious face-lift, but I'll be adding a few changes in the story every now and then, so if your interested, stop by every so often for changes to the story (I'll keep you in the loop). The first entries will be in sometime either this week or next week, depending if I have time due to my job. Thanks for reading, please input any of your opinions or thoughts towards the story, and as always, thanks for reading!

 

 

EDIT: Changes are done.

Vault-Tec Industries Presents: The Great Outdoors!


Smell that summer air! Isn't it grand? And look at those trees! Not a sign of civilization for miles! Observe nature’s eerie remoteness, and respect its savage beauty. Take note of its tendency to kill, yet its capacity to nurture. It’s so peaceful here! Say friend, do you know what the true beauty of Mother Nature is? Let us take a moment to briefly assess and reflect upon our options...

Uh-oh, that'll certainly leave a mark, but it's a lesson that your friends here at Vault-Tec have been trained to recognize: not even Mother Nature herself can withstand the effects of a nuclear holocaust.

 

These are troubling times for humanity, and with the outbreak of atomic warfare soon to devastate our American way of life, we recognize and value your concerns in a world of increasing uncertainty. But not to worry, because as bleak as things may seem, you'll always have someone there that you can rely on. That’s right, because even though Mother Nature may have let you down, Vault-Tec industries certainly hasn't! With our new Going Green program, Vault-Tec not only delivers one of its signature vaults to a frontier near you, but it also does it efficiently!

 

Our dedicated engineers have labored tirelessly to satisfy the needs of the wary consumer, and have boldly gone where no Vault technician has ever gone before, and now, for a limited time, you're invited to participate in that experience! As part of the Going Green Program, you'll learn the basics of survival, as well as the importance of preserving nature, crucial resources, and the valuable lives of those you hold dearest! That’s right, with you and your family sheltered in the middle of nowhere, you'll be helping the Earth in more ways than you realize! But don't mistake sincerity for necessity my friend! Utilizing the vault is to your benefit (god almighty forbid that you ever have to), and in the unlikely event that your personal information is lost forever on account of corporate espionage, the vault will never be more than a stone’s throw away! Like a true friend, we're always looking out for your safety, and the best part about being cut off from electricity, social networking, and basic civil needs is that you don’t have to stick it out alone! Your pals here at Vault-Tec Industries will be there with you every step of the way!

So sign up now and prepare for the future with Vault-Tec!
