Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Reborn & Initial Planning

“Fuck man another shit day at work, god damn Biden just had to get in.” I said grumpily to myself as I continued losing more and more money on the stock market since sleepy Joe got in.

 

“Haaaa I’m gonna have to switch up my strategy if I want to make up any of my losses from day trading.” Though I did have the foresight to spread a good portion of my investments out into energy and commercial real estate so all is not lost.

 

“Since it’s just after 4:00 pm and nothing seems to be moving all that much in the after-market, I might as well get a workout in.” I then proceeded to workout for about an hour and a half doing quite a few sets with the curl bar loaded with 182 pounds on it, some dips, bent over rows, shrugs with 50-pound dumbbells, and finished it off with 3 plates on the bench before I decided to call it quits for the day.

 

“Damn I’m making gains lately, that dbol sure is making a difference. I’ve added about 2 inches on my arms and increased my weight by about 25 pounds since I started it. But I am getting a bit bloated so probably won’t run this drug for too long since it is liver toxic as well.” I said aloud to myself after feeling the great pump I got in a large portion of my upper body.

 

*Stomach growling* “It do be about time for dinner and since I just worked out I think I’ll grill some burgers and cook some fries in the air fryer. Gotta feed the muscles if I want to continue to make gains.” After about 20 minutes of getting everything ready for dinner, I then went to sit down at my pc to watch some youtube while I hoovered up the meal I had made for myself in about half the time I took to prepare it.

 

*Burp* “Damn those were a good couple of burgers, didn’t even get to finish watching my video. Well, whatever, about time I boot up a game since I haven’t played in a bit and I was kinda on a reading binge so it's about time I got into a game again.”

 

I start Steam up to see what I want to play and think aloud to myself after contemplating my choices for a bit. “Hmm I haven’t played Fallout in a while and I kinda want to roam around the wastes in power armor while wielding a minigun. I’ve also yet to play that mod A Tale of Two Wastelands and this is as good a time as any.” So that’s what I proceeded to do.

 

After setting up the mod A Tale of Two Wastelands I went on to make quite a long mod list before I felt I could start. I then proceeded to check what day it was on my pc and was I in luck it was Friday and had it been Thursday or any other day of the week I would’ve wasted a day of early hour trading since there was no way I was gonna be getting up at 4:00 AM.

 

“There shall be no sleep, only fallout.” I say aloud as I start the mod up and watch the intro to Fallout 3. “Ahh the intro gets me every time.” I said aloud to myself while the music was playing and I started reminiscing about all the hours I dumped into this game as a kid back when all I had was an Xbox 360 along with no worries/responsibilities, ahh those were the days.

 

I then went through the whole character creation process and made a white male character similar to myself with very dark brown short hair, almost black in color, and blue eyes. After that, I went through the whole baby faze, distributed my special points, and whatnot. Following that, I blew through the vault part of the game and made my way out into the capital wasteland in record time.

 

Many hours of Fallout gameplay later I’m level 25 have a full suit of power armor, got my unique Eugene minigun and I’m feeling pretty good about how much I got done over the all-nighter game session I pulled. But a minute later my head starts throbbing very painfully to the point where I feel like I could pass out at any moment so I try to rush for my phone to dial 911 but before I can my vision goes black.

 

I start to wake up again after an indeterminate amount of time and feel a bit odd. “Hmm, my head is kinda fuzzy.” I think to myself as I begin to realize something isn’t quite right as everything appears to be black.

Then I remember what happened before I blacked out and realize I’m not dead lucky, but this might not be so good either since I can’t see anything. It’s also hard to move any of my limbs and my neck. 

 

Well, this can’t possibly be good. I might end up being a vegetable for the rest of my life at this rate. I thought with a bit of fear.

 

A bit more time passes when I notice a weird pulsing sound that I don’t ever recall hearing before and I also start to feel something tugging on my legs now. Then after a while, I begin to notice I’m moving and before I know it I’m popping out of whatever space I was being held in, and as soon as I’m out I’m greeted by a blindingly bright white light. “Damn my eyes are burning what the fuck is this.”

 

After a few moments, my eyes adjust to the brightness of the light and the scene in front of me seems oddly familiar. Then my body begins to act on its own by crying out *waaaaah* “Let's see, are you a boy or a girl? It's a boy, a boy. We've got a son, Catherine, a beautiful healthy baby boy.”

 

Well, it would appear that I’ve somehow been reborn as a baby, goodbye prior life hello whatever this is. *Out of breath* ”Huh oh oh James oh we did it huh a son huh a beautiful son huh.” “You’ve got a bright future ahead of you son I’m sure of it.” “Look at you, look at you… Hi there. I’m your daddy, little guy daddy. You’re gonna need a name, aren’t you? Your mother and I have been talking, what do you think about Harold Todd Woods that’s a good name don’t you think? Fits you perfectly.”

 

“Looks like they’ve finished the gene projection. Let’s see what you’ll look like when you’re all grown up.” Time seems to freeze with the gene projection screen now in my face, since that’s the case I’ll take some time to process what has happened so far. 

 

Some moments later. “Now that I’ve had a few moments to process what I believe to be going on it would appear that I’m in the world of fallout but in a not-so-bad position of my father being James the doctor/scientist from Fallout 3 and in this case since I guess I get to keep my name from my last life I guess his name would be James Woods, not sure what his middle name would be but I bet I’ll learn of it eventually .”

 

Well moving on from that thought. “I guess I should start to plan out what I’m going to do in the future since I’m in a situation where a good portion of the planet has been reduced to ash and nuclear wastelands with everything out to kill you.”

 

“Hmm let me think, there isn’t much point thinking super far out right now but I can plan out my childhood and what I should take advantage of since my childhood will be myself and my father living in vault 101 in relative safety.”

 

With that being the case there are few opportunities such as being able to work on my body to increase my physical attributes, my knowledge about most skills such as bartering, energy weapons, explosives, guns, lockpicking, medicine, repair, science, sneaking, speech, survival, unarmed and there may be even more skill that I’m unaware of since this isn’t a game anymore.

 

It would also be worthwhile to invest my time in making things I would need for when I inevitably venture out into the wasteland such as ranged weapons, ammo, armor, medical supplies, a good melee weapon, misc., survival gear, and food that lasts.

 

 I can also try to change the events that happened in vault 101 and use them to my advantage such as stopping/preventing the overseer from going on a murder-happy bender to shaping his daughter Amata and trying to place her in the overseer position to use as a puppet instead of myself since I don’t really want all that extra work or I can still just leave in the end if I extracted all the benefits I can out of the vault and there is nothing else left to benefit from.
