Snippet #2346356

Lieutenant Jason Matthews stared at the bleeping screen of a radar. He was in a unmarked bunker near the city of Bethesda where his platoon was assigned. Their job was to monitor the radars, and it was fairly good day up until this point. One of the men had called his Lieutenant over to look at the screen. Poor guy had thought he had done something wrong and had no idea that the dot on the screen was a bomb carrier. Jason Immediately informed his superiors who later reported they had sent out aircrafts and tried to make contact with the craft, but none of the men returned and their attempts were met with silence. Jason gave the command to start the siren and gathered his men in the bomb shelter portion of the bunker. Once his men were safe, he headed out to try and save as many people as he could.

He first went to his own house. Jason searched his home for anything that was non-perishable and could be of use. While he was rushing around his home, ideas for shelters were running through his mind. His own home didn’t have a basement, so it was out. People would be heading to Vault 100 for safety, but it’s unlikely they’ll get in. He considered the metro near his home saw it as a decent place to take cover. At that moment, he was digging through some junk drawers in search of matches and came across four unused holotapes. And idea floated about his head to make a tape stating where he was. Jason went to his closet and pulled out his holodisk recorder. The message he recorded was rushed, horribly worried sounding, and had sirens blaring through the background. He thought that the tapes would be able to help someone at some point in time, and would be a good way of preserving what happened that day.
