We were told that we were the last. We were told that we were the sole remaining relics of a lost world. They tried to make us believe that The Great War had wiped out humanity and that we would only be safe with the protection of their underground vault. Wow, were we ever naive. The fallacies that they pumped into our minds forced us to conform to their whims, but I had greater ambitions. I, and my partner Thaedra, dreamed of a rebuilt earth outside our walls. I longed for freedom, and I would stop at nothing to achieve it. We had one shot to escape, and that was through the guards at the vault entrance. Thaedra stole a vault code from a guard's desk and we snuck past security to get to the door. We activated the locking mechanism, and the door shifted with a loud creak. It slowly rolled open, and together, we walked out into the supposed wasteland. What we saw, was not entirely unexpected. It was what we hoped for. Paradise.
