fell in Fallout

**Introduction:** Victor von Wolfric, a retired Russian military veteran with a PhD in IT, Computer Science, and Bioscience, found solace in the simple pleasures of life after years of service. One of these pleasures was spending time with his grandson, bonding over a shared love for video games. Today, the screen flickered with the familiar sights and sounds of *Fallout*, a game set in a post-apocalyptic world—a grim reminder of the very tragedy humanity strives to avoid in reality. Yet, for Victor, it was a source of enjoyment, a way to connect with his grandson and escape into a world of adventure. As they played together, laughter filling the room, Victor's instincts suddenly kicked in. A noise—too close, too threatening—jolted him out of the game’s fantasy. Without hesitation, he leaped to shield his grandson. A sharp pain seared through his back, but he pushed it aside, focusing only on getting his grandson to safety. He hurried the boy into the panic room, his voice steady despite the chaos. "I'll be back quick," he promised, sealing the reinforced doors from the outside. The seasoned soldier in him took over. Victor retrieved his weapon from its hidden spot under the table, then took cover behind the kitchen counter, his senses alert for any sign of the intruders. In the brief lull, he made a quick call to his son—"We've been attacked," he reported, before cutting the line and bracing for what was to come. A brutal firefight ensued, the quiet home transforming into a battlefield. Despite his age, Victor's skills had not dulled. His movements were precise, his aim true. One by one, he eliminated the enemies, his training and experience guiding him through the harrowing ordeal. Finally, the house fell silent, the danger seemingly passed. Exhausted, Victor collapsed onto the sofa, his breath coming in heavy, ragged gasps. As the adrenaline faded, so did his strength. The last thing he heard before everything went black was a voice from the game, eerily fitting: "WAR... WAR NEVER CHANGES." With those words echoing in his mind, Victor slowly slipped into unconsciousness, the world around him fading into darkness.

Chapter 15: Search for Resources

Date: August 2272

With the start of August, Victor 's efforts in expanding his resources and capabilities continued. He began focusing on his recent find: an old, deactivated Mister Handy robot discovered in Hall 2 during his explorations. The robot was a valuable asset, and Victor was determined to bring it back to functionality.

"Alright, Mister Handy, let's see what you've got," Victor said as he began his repairs. He carefully replaced the fusion cell and started working on the robot's internal systems. "You might have been out of commission for a while, but I'm going to make sure you're better than new."

He spent several weeks carefully repairing the robot and installing a new AI algorithm he developed for its assistant functions. The Mister Handy, now equipped with a laser firing mechanism, a flamethrower, a cutting tool, and a saw blade, needed significant work. Victor noted, "It's a complex machine, but with these upgrades, you should be able to help me out in ways I couldn't do alone."

By the end of the month, Mister Handy was operational and ready for action. "I think we're ready, Mister Handy. Let's tackle Hall 4 and get rid of those radroaches."

Equipped with his new mechanical companion, Victor decided to confront the radroach infestation in Hall 4. He devised a plan where Mister Handy would serve as the vanguard. "Mister Handy, your job is to draw the radroaches toward the front door. I'll stay behind and take them out from a distance," Victor instructed.

As Mister Handy activated its flamethrower, the radroaches began to swarm toward the door. Victor took aim with his gas-operated rifle, making every shot count. "Just keep them coming. I'll clear them out," Victor said, focused on his target.

The task was grueling and required meticulous planning. It took Victor three days to complete the repairs on Mister Handy and an additional five days to clean out Hall 4. "We're almost done here," Victor said to Mister Handy, who was now showing signs of wear but was still functioning well. "Just a little more, and this place will be safe again."

He worked primarily during the night to keep his activities hidden from the other Vault residents. As he finished up, he muttered, "No need to let anyone know about this. We'll keep our progress to ourselves for now."

The combination of Mister Handy's assistance and Victor 's strategic use of his rifle eventually cleared the hall of the radroach menace, restoring a part of the Vault to safety.

"Good job, Mister Handy. We make a great team," Victor said as he inspected the now clean Hall 4. With each success, he drew closer to his goal of improving the Vault's security and functionality, confident that his efforts would soon make a significant difference.
