Your old home

With nothing on you other than your vault suit (which now has a damaged zipper leaving your front almost completely exposed) and the security baton from the vault you set out. Not knowing where else to begin, you decide to start looking for Shaun in your old home in Sanctuary Hills, just down the hillside.

When you return, the place is a ghost town, clearly destroyed by the blast wave of the bomb.

You decide to return to your old home to see what has become of it. Just as you’re approaching your old house movement catches your eye. It’s your old robot butler Codsworth.

“Hello ma'am!” he exclaims with his classic British accent.

“Codsworth, is that really you?”

“Yes ma'am! It’s so good to finally see you after all these years.”

“After all these years? What do you mean? I can’t have been down in that vault more than a few hours?”

“I’m afraid not ma'am. My systems are still fully functional and have calculated it to be approximately 210 years.”

“What! 210 years that’s impossible.”

“I’m afraid not ma'am.”

Could this possibly be true, could it really have been 210 years since the day the bomb dropped? What exactly was that pod that they put you in? It must have been some sort of cryogenic pod like in science-fiction films.

“Wow, that’s a lot to take in.” you say with a deep breath, letting this strange new reality set in.

"My sensors are detecting that you are quite stressed right now ma'am. Would you like me to give you the special relaxation treatment I used to do?"
