This story takes place in the Fallout universe, specifically Fallout 3. However, I think this story is easily understood without having previous knowledge of Fallout 3. Really all you need to know is that it is a post apocalyptic setting and takes place in the year 2277. I included links within the story incase you are curious about what someone or something looks like. c: 

I hope you can all give it a chance and get enjoyment out of it even if you aren't familiar with Fallout.
