Where'd That 6th Toe Come From?
OOC:

As seen in Possible New Roleplay and in New Mission voting thread.
For simplicitys sake, you all start in the same vault, and over an year has passed.
I chose a continental country for it would be easier to move about into other countries - in England you guys would have to find a ship or boat to get across the continent :p

VAULT 1721


Several months have passed since the day you entered the vault. It was an experience from some ageny or enterprise - to be in a vault meant to protect people in case of a nuclear war. It paid well so you really didnt ask too much questions - and they said it would be just for a few months.
But while you were there, the news arrived - a real nuclear war happened outside, and none could leave the vault if they were to survive.
You had time to let the horror and desperation sink in. There were some tense incidents between vaulters - after all people locked up tend to get aggressive, even paranoid or abusive. Thank god no serious incidents happened in there, appart from a few fights with not too serious wounds.
You had no means of knowing about your family outside, so you have no idea what happened. Maybe they managed to get into a public shelter? You did not want to think of the worst...

Finally this morning the vault overseer called upon a meeting in the communal hall.
You atended as the others - this was a happening, something out of the routine, so you were very interested to hear what he had to say, specially since he had been dodging your questions.

Everybody garhered and the vault overseer, a man in his fifties with white hair and a well short beard, and whose body still showed some of the vigor of his youth, said, with a strong, deep voice:
Fellow vault dwellers, our instruments outside show the radiation level has droped to only two rads. It is now safe to leave and see what is left. So I am asking for a few volunteers to go outside and gather information to us. I will be blunt about it: what you will find will not be like the world we knew. MOst probably, the world as we knew it is dead and gone. We need to know what is left of places, building, if animals or plants survived , cause we dont know how bad the bombing was - yet since the rad level was very high near our vault an year ago, I asume at least around us it was very bad, so be prepared. All right, who volunteers?

ooc: Feel free to add a paragraph about how you spent the time you were in the vault, Since it was a whole year plus a few months, you may have known and become friends with other players. [/b]
 
OCC: Ok, Im keeping my charactehr american, and explainging the inventory as well.


ICC:Daniel stepped foward.
Daniel had been a civilan worker at the american embasy and was one of a handful of americans in the vault.
"I'll go."
The others that knew Danail knew that he would be capable of such a mission, as despite being short he was quite strong.
He had also had a decent supply of equiptment brought with him from his home.
"So, anyone else want to dance with the devil in the pale moonlight.?"
 
OCC: Polish Australian character.

ICC: There were a few moments of silence. It seemed that most people were reluctant to leave the safety of The Vault, but hey - who wouldn't be? Only a handful of others even considered leaving.
From the back of the room, one of the computer technicians - the last person to be employed in The Vault - put his hand up.
"Count me in."
The speaker was Zaij, known most for his constant death threats to computers, near endless suply of drugs ("not illicit ones, of course" would be the standard answer to anyone seeking some.) and his mocking eyes. Though not exactly fit, he looked like he could keep up in a jog.

There were a few more moment of silence.
"Well?"
 
OCC: Guys you are a bit scary :) INteresting!

ICC:

A woman standing beside the overseer - a middle-aged woman, know as Carmen, who was in charge of the library inside the vault - spoke:

"We need more people. You will be safer with a larger party. So who else is going?"

There were a few more moment of silence. She spoke again:
"Remember you will have the gratitude of the people in this vault and there is the possibility of you finding a lot of useful and valuable stuff outside!"

OOC: Giving a little time for more people to join. Remember, folks, since you are together in this vault over an year you may as well know each other - either as friends, foes, either just from having heard about or seen in mess hall, etc.
 
"I'll join up, just have to gather my gear first." Rein said, he went to his room and picked up everything he had left from his military service.
 
Occ: I'm an american too.

YES! TOTAL OWNAGE! Jeph thought to himself as he tok out another 20 enemies on his Gameguyxj4000.
Ok, hit a save point. *sigh* What's he talking about now? Jeph reluctantly put up his game and listened half-heartedly to the overseer's speech.
WHAT? leave the vault... Hmm, valuables ehh.... hey, mabye i can find a department store with some old games that sill work!
"Count me in! When do we leave? I needs ta pack."
 
Cpl.Baumann watched the growing crowd with caution..situations like this might become a riot too quickly and that was something he didn't need. Upon hearing that there was a expedition being formed to explore the outside world. Stepping up he quickly volunteered for the team noticing that daniel had volunteered as well. Well at least another american was going to be along.

He quickly returned to his room to pack, awaiting the orders to move out.
 
OCC: Miles, Im assuming that your characther is supposed to be a Marine. Since my characther worked at an embasy, I'll also assume that that's where we met. If this doesnt mesh with your planned story, Ill change it.



ICC:
Daniel felt some relief when Cpl.Baumann volunterd to go.
'I didnt know him that well, but he seemed to be a pretty gung-ho Marine back at the embast. Plus another American is always good.'
Finishing his thinking, Daniel headed back for his room to grab his gear.
 
VAULT 1439
FRANCE, near Paris:




"Gather around!" The overseer in Kristians vault said.
A big crowd gathered around the overseer.
"The instruments outside says that the radiation level have dropped, and it's safe to go outside." The overseer said.
"Now. I'm not gonna send everyone out of the vault, so I'll need a few volunteers to gather information from the outside world." He said. "I won't lie to you, this may be a dangerous mission!" He added.

"Anybody?" He asked after a few moments of silence.
"I'll go!" A 16 year old said.
"I'll go to!" Kristian said.
"Good!" the overseer said. " Anyone else?"
A few more volunteers joined up, and they went to their room to pack their gear.
 
Rob was looting the cafateria as he heard people above talking about leaveing the vault.

Rob suddenly dropped everything as he heard that,he quickly rushed to upstairs.

"I'm going too!....."Yelled Rob

Everybody shuffled aside so that Rob was in view,Everyone gave him a loond stare.

"What?.....you think i won't survive?"Said Rob

Most of the people gave a sigh that Rob was actully going to leave the Vault.

Rob headed off to his room to gather his belongings.
 
Zeke stood up on a stool so he was above the crowd.

"I for one am sick and tired of steel walls for horizons and ceiling sunrises. I will gladly get out of here."

After stating he was going to leave e dn't rush back to his room t grab his stuff. That would be just stupid as the overseer might still have something important to say. He would wait until the assembly was done before he gathered his things.

Sadly he did not know many people in the vault. Zeke had kept to himself and stayed mostly in his room for the better part of the past year. Soon enough he would meet his new teammates though and this wouldn't be a problem.
 
The Overseer arched an eyebrow and exchanged a look with Carmen: The away team was showing to be a large group!

Remember, go as far as you need to get accurate information. But make sure to bring us updates as soon as possible. If there is any question you would like to ask, any matter you have to take care before you leave, do it now.

- When are they leaving? - someone asked.

It was Carmen who replied:
As soon as possible!

All right, travelers, go equip yourself and be here in the communal hall in about one hour.

OOC: All right, soon as everybody is ready to go, we will leave
 
Back in his room Cpl.Baumann stared at the equipment spread out before him double checking each piece before placing it in his pack.Already fully dressed in his old fatigues and other equipment all that was left was to pack his rucksack."Cant believe they let a kid go along on this...this shit might be dangerous"muttering to himself as he threw ammo and extra equipment into the pack closing it and securing his sleeping roll to the outside. The final touch was to clip the as of now un-used SMG to his vest and holster his pistol, both had been cleaned and oiled.

Stepping out of the room he hoisted the pack, weighing in at a hefty 70 pounds he dragged it down the hall behind him not wishing to put it on till he had filled the canteens at the mess hall. After filling those and putting the pack on Baumann headed to the assembly area.
 
Zaij was looking at his assorted medicines and plants. Which to take, which to leave behind? It was a difficult decision. His bag was still rather light, as he didnt have THAT much to take with him. Finalizing his choices, he turned to leave for the door.

Upon entering the assembly area, he saw Cpl. Baumann. That guy looked like one bad bastard. He decided it would be a good idea to sit as far away from him as possible.
 
Rob quickly grabbed his bag and threw all his things in like his lock pick,knives and axe,he put a photo in of his family and then quickly went to the cafateria.

a staff member was patrolling the cafateria incase people like Rob would want to take some food for the journey,Rob quickly placed his bag down by the wal andl snuke over to the wall.

The staff member took a seat facing the other way,Rob quickly went in and grabbed some canned food plus some assorted treats.

Rob quickly went back and packed his bag,he then headed to the communal hall.
 
Daniel had what little gear he had in his pack and his tent and bedding supplies in a seprate zipup bag.
'Time to get on the road I guess'
Walking down the hall to the cafatera, Daniel saw Rob sneaking in.
'Well, I'll certainly need to watch my shit.'
Not bothering to sneak, Daniel just walked straight in ignoring the staff member who started to tell him to stop.
Going in, Daniel gatherd more suppies.
A set of utincels, large serving spoon, forkand a spoon.
Then Daniel begain to gather canned food items, soups and such and even a canopener.
Lastly, Daniel grabbed some empty water flasks which he filled in the sink.
Daniel put the loot into his pack, and slung his tent pack over a shoulder.
As he picked up his riffle to leave Daniel couldnt resist one last thing.
Come out allready Rob, Im here to do "the same thing you are so not like Im going to rat on you."
Smirking to himself as a rather embaressed looking Rob walked out of a supply closet Daiel walked out of the cafatera past a annoyed looking guard.
'Well, I suppose it's time to go meet my new group'
 
As the ones who volunteered made their packing, the others vaulters - who were gathered in the main hall - were chatting in low voice and waiting.

Many vaulters - who knew what the meeting was about and really were not elligible to go, such as women who were taking care of children, the vaults cook, vault security personel and so on - just watched occasionaly as the volunteers passed by, and then, making some comment or not, continued on their duties.

OOC: Ok keep on untill every volunteer has made his post and well be out
 
Zeke's stuff lay on his desk in front of him. Weapons, ammo, his lucky Zippo lighter with a naked lady set in ivory on the front, 6 bottles of water(500ml each), a change of clothes, a few other oddities and assorted knicknacks( including a small leather bag with a handful of special ammo ). All together his pack weighed about 30 pounds and was half full.

A few places needed to be visited before leaving. First stop was the medical station on the first floor, where he traded three pages of written science formulas and constants to the doctor for a prescription bottle of Rad-X and two pouches of Rad-Away.

Secondly he went to the cafeteria and convinced the lunchlady to give me a few extra cans of meat for his scouting mission.

Zeke's third stop was the armoury where he traded a set of sleezy magazines to the armourer for two extra box magazines for his .303 and a custom speedloader for the revolver. Also when the other man's back was turned Zeke grabbed a box of JHP .303 ammo from the shelf containing thirty rounds.

Satisfied with his recent gains and the extra ten pounds of goods he set off for the main lobby to hear what the overseer had to say.
 
Kahgan took the security lock of the G3A3, he looked it over and decided to try out if he knew the drill yet. He took it apart, layed it on the floor and set it back together in no time. It was as easy as it was before.
After getting all set up, wich took about half an hour, he went to the supply room and noticed the door unopened and no guard. He went in and saw Daniel and Rob. "What the hell, we need it more out there than any in here anyway" He started grabbing some stims and stuff like that, but there was not much advanced things there, as the vault did not need that.
Then he walked to the hall and whaited to leave.
 
Daniel sat on a upply crate, waiting to go.
On his way from the cafatera, he had visited the doctor.
However, since the doctor was talking with anotehr volunter, Daniel unslung the bag his tent was in, and tossed some RadX and RadAway and some stimms in and quickly left before getting caught.
As the last of the volunters trickled in Daniel stood ready to leave.
