Pre-War
From Create Your Own Story
This story is set in Vault 69, no relation to the in game Vault of the same name. Involves many mechanics from Fallout Shelter in some ways.
Background- It's the day the nukes drop. The Jones family got an early warning from a friend in the government. They made their way to the Vault that was nearby, Vault 69. They are quickly let inside the sterile Vault. Soon afterwards, they hear the bombs hit, the last sounds of an old world dying.
The Overseer of the Vault determines that it's unsafe to go out. No one disagrees. Everyone is in shock for a while. Slowly, a community forms between these people, the leftovers of a dead civilization. Bonds are formed. Friends and allies come together in this tragedy. Children eventually begin to laugh again. They play in the dim metal halls. The echoes of their laughter begin to melt the hardness of hearts. What began with children playing turned into an underground city, where people would gladly greet each other as they passed in the hallways. Birthday parties, weddings, and births were not lost to the community. Celebration revives. Eventually, people once again grow content with their lives and form a semblance of the Old World, mixed with the lessons of the New.
Not all was lost, even before this small community formed. For, before the fires, before the bombs, brilliant minds had worked to come up with a plan to save humanity. They created Vaults, refuge for people to survive beyond the war. These Vaults contain experiments that would help to not only reestablish community, but to further it. Yet not all Vaults would be used for social experiments, but for resources. And somewhere, far away, in a building that managed to withstand the fires, amiss crumbled walls and a crumpled ceiling, lights on a console still glowed. If there was anyone who managed to survive the war and work their way past all the rubble to this console, they would have seen another dim light join the rest, next to a simple metal plaque. "Vault 69-Reproduction". The experiment had begun.
Of course, practical scientists could not leave the future of mankind in the hands of something as unpredictable and uncontrolled as human emotion. Scars from the war could not be expected to heal fast enough for the purpose at hand. No, there had to be a reliable source. So, in the heart of the Vault, hundreds of feet below the surface, the air system pumped fresh air into the Vault halls and rooms. Yet now, it pumped a new substance. A tasteless, odorless, and, colorless gas, which consisted of neurogasses which entered into the part of the brain controlling lust, the need for intercourse, and set it on high. The effect wouldn't make everyone sex-crazed animals, for those were too unruly. But in every mind, that desire existed now, however, hidden. People would be more open to the idea of sex, and slowly, every mind would be affected, and the reproduction cycle would begin.
So, where are you when this happens?
