A little story and the reason why we are here...
"War, war never changes...The end of the world occurred pretty much as we had predicted: Too many humans, not enough space or resources to go around. The details are trivial and pointless; the reasons, as always, purely human ones. The earth was nearly wiped clean of life, a great cleansing. An atomic spark struck by human hands, quickly raged out of control. Spears of nuclear fire rained from the skies. Continents were swallowed in flames, and fell beneath the boiling oceans. Humanity was almost extinguished, their spirits becoming part of the background radiation that blanketed the earth. A quiet darkness fell across the planet, lasting many years."After the Great War that ravaged the world, the United States are nothing more than a vast irradiated zone where various factions, trying to survive, organize themselves into gangs, create new cities on the ruins of the civilization of the XXI century. To protect themselves from atomic explosions, underground atomic-shelters called "Vaults" were built. Some people were able to enter the Vaults before the cataclysm.
Supposed to leave the Vaults after 10 years, the survivors of the Vault 13 eventually preferred to stay underground rather than risk an exit in broad daylight. But one day the water chip goes down and threatens the survival of the Vault...
A habitant of the Vault is sent to find a new chip. When he finally finds an alternative, he returns to his shelter but the Master, concerned about his speech on the growing population of mutants evolving on the surface, sends him to stop this menace.
Abandoned by all, he wandered north, in the desert before founding a village, Arroyo. Protected by its canyons of the outside world, the village lived for many years in peace. However, the intense heat wave brought famine. A tribal legend says that the Vault 13 had within it a Garden of Eden Creation Kit (GECK). This wonderful instrument could create life from the desert and rebuild civilization...
A child was chosen to leave his home town, Arroyo, to find the holy Vault 13 and the GECK, which would allow him to save his family from death. His journey leads him to cross the lands devastated by a nuclear holocaust, and to discover what remains of the world. Nothing happens of course, as expected, and when he finally puts his hand on the GECK and returns to his village, he founds it was destroyed by soldiers of the Enclave.
Now in search for the villagers, he discovers that the anti-atomic shelters built throughout the United States were opened prematurely in order to test the effects of nuclear fallout on different population groups previously healthy. Only residents of the Enclave were totally protected from radiation, and are the only humans.
The Enclave has, therefore, decided to release into the Earth's atmosphere a modified version of the
Forced Evolutionary Virus, in order to eliminate all the mutant inhabitants of the Earth.
The Chosen One tries to put an end to this complot, like his ancestor did once before, and restore peace… for a while.
What's our mission? TO HELP HIM...
