You have chosen the far flung future of the year 2188.
During this time period, the Vault has lain dormant for decades. It is in extreme disrepair and it's security systems have finally failed, leaving the advanced technology and many other resources at the mercy of the Wasteland. You are a scavenger, down on your luck and needing a huge score so you can get out of this hard-scrabble life and enjoy retirement on a huge pile of bottle cap currency. You'll settle down in a nice little community, find yourself a spouse, maybe have a couple of kids and never have to worry about Radscorpions or Deathclaws ever again.
With your last remaining handful of caps given to the shady trader currently disappearing into the irradiated wilderness, you realize you're closer to that future than ever before. You slowly, carefully open the faded envelope and gently pull out the fragile contents inside.
Dear sir or ma'am
Congratulations on your family's recent inclusion in the Vault 63 community!
You will find outlined in your application materials a full review of rules and procedures related to preparing for shelter in a Vault-Tec facility, but we will outline a few key points here:
Vault-Tec provides all clothing, bedding, and accommodations for residents. Personal belongings must be reviewed and approved of by an authorized Vault-Tec hermetics technician before such belongings can be delivered to your reserved quarters within the Vault. In the event of an emergency entrance to the Vault, no personal belongings will be permitted beyond the main door of the facility.
All Vault residents must attend an orientation seminar. If you did not attend such a seminar as part of the application process, you must make an appointment with your Vault-Tec representative.
In the event of a Vault activation, whether actual or drill, Vault-Tec will sound a siren audible in the immediate vicinity of the Vault facility entrance, and residents will be contacted via holotape message at the phone number provided in their resident profile records. Please report promptly to Vault 63 to await admittance and processing upon such a notification.
Vault-Tec looks forward to having you and your family as valued residents! Be sure to present this letter to your Vault-Tec representative to receive your special, commemorative Vault Boy bobble-head toy! Sincerely;
Vault-Tec

Contained within the bottom of the envelop is a set of directions and more importantly, an interface key that will allow you to enter Vault 63 and take all the salvage you need to start your new life.
But first things first Are you male, or female? Or are you one of the unlucky souls that have become a Ghoul, a walking pile of decaying, irradiated flesh, forever altered by the radiation created by the Great War that ended the world over a century ago?
