Possum's d20 Modern: Fallout part 1

[possum]

For weeks, 10-year old Susan Hendricks has been frightened to go to bed at night. It's not the small tremors that frighten her, but the light sound of scratches on the other side of her wall. Being the last dorm on their level, with what should be nothing but solid rock on the other side, her parents were naturally worried. Their worries were soothed when Vault scientists concluded that the noises were likely nothing but a colony of Radroaches.

It is now late at night, and the majority of Vault citizens save for a skeleton crew are now sound asleep. They are awakened abruptly by the hardest tremor that they've felt. Rock and steel collapses, and the Hendricks family finds out that it was no radroach behind their wall.

"All Vault security report immediately to the armory, repeat, all Vault security personnel report immediately to the armory," the voice of the Overseer says over the intercom, waking up everyone who somehow managed to keep sleeping through the earthquake.

Isaias moves hastily towards the armory, taking with him the tools he seem necessary.

 

[Walking Dad]

Forgetting about a chance to get a good night's sleep, Winston moves toward the armory, but he let's the true guards pass him by.

Alicia was heading back from an entertaining evening in the pinball room when the announcement was made, "Wonder what the Frak that is about?" She changes direction and heads to the armory with a spring in her step, finally a break-up in the monotony, maybe I will get issued a gun and be allow to fire off some rounds. Naaww, most likely it's only a drill this time of night. With a sigh, the spring leaves her step and she just continues on at a brisk pace.

<< Was kind waiting on Felix to respond back earlier.>>

Chase accompanied Alicia to the pinball room but got more enjoyment by just watching her. Suddenly the announcement comes over the speakers and Alicia starts to leave "Do you mind if I tag along? I know I'm not part of the security but I'm willing to lend a hand and prove myself as more than just a garbage man."

<<OOC: sorry for the abcense without notice. My wife was injured and reallife took over. She's feeling better though now so I should be back now.>>>

 

[perrinmiller]

<< Welcome back dude. >>

Alicia, en route to the armory, is brought out of her internal musings by Chase's voice as he follows along behind her. She stops and answers him, "Eh? Oh right. Sure you can tag along. Probably just a drill anyway."

With that she turns back to continue their journey, talking to him as they proceed together, "But please don't get me in trouble with the Security Chief if he gives you grief for being there. I am still sort of the probie and cannot give anyone permission for much. But you could always say you are volunteering for clean up detail if it looks like it is needed. Who knows, maybe the phantom dumper has struck again." She finishes with a chuckle.

<< OOC:Really would have liked to use the "S" word here, "dumper" just doesn't sounds right. {sigh} >>

OOC: I don't know what the complete rules on profanity are on this board, but it would be okay by me for you to just star out the offending word.

I'm already PG-13ing Fallout as it is...

 

[Felix1459]

"Sounds like a plan. If anyone asks I was just passing by and was wondering if I could help with the clean up. Taking the initiative." Chase says as he follows Alicia. He jogs along behind her as she starts to move faster. He can't help but smile as the adrenaline starts seeping into his system. "Ah, the phantom sh*tt*r. I know his work well. Fortunately I've never had to be there to clean it up myself."

 

[perrinmiller]

Alicia gives a sidelong glance at Chase, "Know his work huh? You probably are the Phantom."

Her chuckle says that she is kidding, but it is a little forced possibly because she thinks that she just inadvertently hit the nail on the head without meaning to.

<<They turn the corner and arrive at the armory? I am ready.>>
[sblock=From the Site FAQs - General Rules]Keep it clean: Don't use obscenities, don't use clever tricks to run around the profanity filters, and don't link to sites with inappropriate content. The "acid test" we use is the "Grandmother Rule" -- if it would be inappropriate to say to or show to our grandmothers, don't do it. I want a typical 13 year old kid to be able to come here and participate if they want to without feeling uncomfortable. This should be a minor-friendly place. Think about it this way: how do you act around strangers or work acquaintances? You watch your language and you're on your best behavior. That's the ideal we're shooting for here.[/sblock]

The Overseer looks over the assembled Vault security officers as well as the few civilians that have gathered around the armory. He's paler than usual, and looks upset. "That last quake did something and I'm not sure what it was. I mean, released something. It's in the second residential level and its... I'm going to put out a call to all residents save those on that level to meet in the atrium immediately, those on the second level will be advised to stay in their dorms until the crisis is over." He unlocks the armory door. "We have 50 handguns and a clip apiece in here--not counting your weaponry, of course. You are to take these guns to the atrium and distribute them to the residents. Then, we go and try to kill the beast," he seems extremely nervous, no doubt having seen what the unleashed beast has done to some of the second level residents via security cam. "Those of you who are off-duty, I'm sorry to say that there is no time to get your security vest and helmet on. Just go now."
