Vanessa sighed as she dropped another empty toolbox onto the barren ground beside her, grumbling as she glanced around, wiping her brow. She'd used a decent amount of ammo to clear out several Radscorpions in this area, thinking that they must've been gathered here by something, but instead all she'd found was empty toolboxes, depleted fusion batteries and caps that were so rusted they were practically useless. As for the radscorpions, well, they were all rather scrawny, not much meat on them at all, enough for her to cook a few meals from but not enough to sell for any real profit. "Great....just great..." The girl muttered, lifting up her 10mm gun to examine it.
She'd left the Vault 6 months ago now, Vault 14, sealed for 200 years, lost behind a landslide and cut off from all communication. The people in the Vault had considered themselves the last of humanity until prospectors had cleared away the cave entrance. Apparently they had salvaged a Vault Tec facility and found some records of their Vault, the group had been hoping to scavenge the vault remains...imagine their surprise when they had found it fully active and inhabited. After that curiosity had drawn Vanessa to leave, along with several others, all of them going their own way to explore this strange new world.
None of them had quite expected things to be so bad, none of them had believed absolutely everything would be so....destroyed. And then ontop of that was the radiation. Vanessa had managed to avoid much of it thanks to her Pip Boy, but sometimes it was simply unaviodable, either simply in the environment or through food and drink. Fortunately though Vanessa seemed to have suffered no real ill effects from it, though her previously brown hair had now turned a shade of light blue, and her bangs had taken on an unusual shape, but she considered herself lucky to not be suffering any additional mutations, especially after she'd encountered her first Ghoul and seen first hand just what radiation could potentially do.
"Ok..." She holstered her gun, then checked her Pipboy, turning to head further North. She'd been warned against heading too far in that direction by the inhabitants of the last settlement she'd visited, but none of them could really say why, just that their parents and their parents parents had always said to avoid it. Well, that meant there was the possibility of the area being untouched by previous scavengers, meaning Vanessa might be able to find some traces of the old world that nobody had seen for centuries.
