Nothing. Nothing at all. the light stayed green, and there was no beep indicating the lightflash. the little boy who had been counting stands up imediately. this had never happened before. he backs up against the wall with a horrified look on his face. suddenly a loud wailing went all throughout the vualt as the doors unsealed themselves and opened. adults, including the small boys parents rushed into the room and aimed rifles at the door ready to fire at anything that walked through. a man, clad in metal robotic looking armor stepped through the opened vault entrance and was greeted by bullets sailing through the air from the adults rifles. the bullets bounced off his armor, as electricity flowed through it, repelling the bullets. he lifted a strange looking gun into the air and began firing...lasers. many of the adults died, some of them laid down their weapons and got on their knees to beg for their lives. the man removed his helmet and revealed himself to be a man from the outside world. a world the young boy had been told was destroyed, a place many of his parents had been told was destroyed. he explained that years ago people crawled out of the vualts and began rebuilding on the outside. that he was part of a group of survivalists who believed that the world should be brought into the future that was denied when the bombs went off. a group called the brotherhood of steel. he offered safety to everyone in the vault if they joined him, he then warned of the wasteland, which awaited those who refused his help. he went to each person and asked their name and if they would join. when he reached the small boy he did the same.
"what is your name?" the man said.
"Johnny... Johnny Grimm." the boy says.
"will you, Johnny Grimm, join the brotherhood and swear to protect it's values, and in return, receive it's protection?" the man asks.
the boy stood silent for a minute, realizing there was no way a small boy could survive in the waste alone, from the stories the man had just told him.
"I swear." he says. the man grabs him by the hand, bends down to his level, then pulls him in so their faces almost met "welcome to the brotherhood, brother Johnny" he says as he stands up and directs the boy to the entrance of the vault where other brotherhood soldiers where waiting to take the vault dwellers away. to their new home, in the waste.
I am now taking suggestions for a setting. I might end up doing this in new vegas because that is my favorite wasteland from the games, but I was also thinking we could do a British iteration of the waste. so if you want to suggest a location please do.
is anyone going to join this (also might make an assassins creed based pirate game. it will be focused on piracy but the assassins thing will be a motivator for the story. I think the problem with our previous pirate games where that we had no story base. we where just pirates.)
(I will /possibly/ join this, the only thing holding me back is that though I owned most of the fallout games, I haven't really played them much due to the discs not working @_@ I think I played new vegas the most..)
