War... War Never Changes.
On October 23rd, 2077... The world was consumed by atomic fire, unleashed from bombs harnessing the power of the atom. This...was The Great War. Although the American Dream has been long dead for over 200 years, human civilization continued to thrive in the Commonwealth, with places like Diamond City and Goodneighbor residing amongst the remains of what was once the city of Boston, Massachusetts. However, our story isn't about the convoluted history of the Commonwealth nor the numerous dangers throughout the land, such as Raiders, Gunners, Super Mutants, Feral Ghouls, and the various amounts of mutated wildlife. This is the story of The Sole Survivor from Vault 111.
Her name is Alicia Rose. To many, she is a Vault Dweller, truly a "Woman Out of Time". After all, she was literally a living relic from Pre-War times, all thanks to being frozen in suspended animation by cryogenic pods inside Vault 111, keeping her alive and preserved for over 2 centuries. However, unlike other conventional Vault Dwellers, Alicia had a more...voluptuous but healthily plump physique, complete with a pair of plush Double D-Cup breasts, a chubby but cushiony rear end, subtly plump thighs, a soft but discreet bump of a belly, and a healthy but slightly fuller face, along with long flowing reddish-brown hair that was braided into a short ponytail. Though, to the journalist from Diamond City, Piper, Alicia was more than just a Vault Dweller... She was a friend, and a lover. However, there was some...controversy, regarding Alicia's choice of faction to align herself with. Instead of aligning herself with The Minutemen, The Railroad, or even the so-called "Boogeymen" of the Commonwealth, The Institute. Instead, Alicia voluntarily aligned herself with the most recent faction to arrive in the Commonwealth: The Brotherhood of Steel. They arrived in force, with their soldiers clad in T-60 Power Armor, armed with Laser Rifles and Miniguns, carried into the Commonwealth by flying aircraft called "Vertibirds". But in the center of their loyal battle-hardened masses, was the Prydwen: A massive mobile headquarters for the Brotherhood of Steel, capable of flight over vast distances. It was both a technological and engineering marvel, nonetheless.
Although she voluntarily joined the Brotherhood of Steel of her own volition, Alicia did not share the same racist views that most members of the Brotherhood had when it came to the folks of the Commonwealth, still seeing the humanity that resided in both the sentient Ghouls throughout the Commonwealth and the occasional Super Mutant like Strong, as well as certain Synths such as Nick Valentine and DiMa. And when Paladin Danse was accused by Elder Arthur Maxson of being a Synth, she refused to kill her fellow comrade, and convinced Elder Maxson to spare Danse, much to Maxson's hostility toward Synths, since he considered them abominations. However, since one of the Brotherhood of Steel's core tenets is the preservation of any discovered Pre-War technology, Scribe Haylen sent Alicia off to find Pre-War technology. More specifically, within the decrepit halls of the Suffolk County Charter School.
This is her story...
--August 25th, 2288--
--8:45 AM--
Within the Southern Commonwealth, a Deathclaw was preoccupied with consuming the fresh remains of a Gunner's corpse, freshly killed by this specific Deathclaw. However, this moment of solace for the horned beast was brief, as it caught the scent of something approaching it. The Deathclaw roared at this intruder, brandishing it's claws, ready for a fight. Unfortunately for this monstrous creature, it was cut down by the maelstrom of 5mm bullets from a Minigun. This Minigun was held by none other than Alicia Rose, currently wearing the T-60 Paladin Power Armor given to her by the Brotherhood of Steel, which allowed her to wield the heavy automatic weapon with little difficulty.
However, she wasn't trekking through the Commonwealth Wasteland alone, as Piper followed closely behind her Power Armor-clad lover, armed with a nodded Laser Rifle given to her by Alicia as a Christmas present. "Well, Blue. This is the 3rd Deathclaw we've seen in 4 hours." Piper chirped, remarking on how many Deathclaws they've encountered in the past 4 hours. Of course, as the Minigun's 6 barrels slowed down in rotation, Alicia quipped back towards Piper, speaking to her with a flirtatious tone and replied, "Well, you know me, Piper: I'm not exactly the biggest fan of Deathclaws since Concord. Though, I can't say I blame you for saying that. Who knows? There might be more Deathclaws the further south we go."
"Oh don't remind me, hon!" Piper answered, delivering a light jab at Alicia's Power Armor-clad side in an almost sarcastic manner, chuckling some in the process. From there, both Alicia and Piper continued walking down the crumbled asphalt that was once a road, where they continued their conversation, shifting onto a different topic, as Piper spoke first and said, "...Still, I don't understand why you sided with the Brotherhood of Steel. I mean, they're willing to wage open war with the Institute, for Christ sake!"
"Piper... The Brotherhood of Steel aren't monsters. I mean, sure they're fanatically devoted to Elder Maxson's cause with wiping out Synths, it's just that they needed to realize that not everything involving the Synths is black and white as they thought, that not every Synth is out there to kill humanity. Trust me, it took a lot to convince Maxson that Nick Valentine wasn't going to kill him. But...the Brotherhood make some very valid points as well, Piper." Alicia answered, trying her best to explain to Piper why the Brotherhood of Steel weren't as evil as they claimed to be.
"Oh? And what points are those, Honey?" Piper asked, cocking an eyebrow at her beloved Alicia, thus prompting the plus-sized Vault Dweller to retort and explained, "...Think about it, Piper: What would happen if, say, The Gunners get their hands on something like Liberty Prime? They would use his nuclear arsenal to control the Commonwealth through fear. The reason why the Brotherhood focuses on preserving lost technology is to make sure that tech doesn't fall into the wrong hands."
Eventually, after careful thought, Piper somewhat reluctantly agreed with you on such a delicate matter, where she spoke toward Alicia and said, "*sigh*...Well, I guess you made your point, Blue." However, just before she could speak anymore, both Piper and Alicia had finally arrived at their intended destination: The Suffolk County Charter School.
