Notes: How to determine a vaultin this story? Example: “m.80MT.v-1″; (m.) stands for model, (80MT) stands for that it can hold its own against a 80 Megaton nuke. (.v-1) stands for “Vault 1″. [EXAMPLE 2] “m.5000KT.v-1″; (m.) stands for model, (5000KT) stands for that it can hold its own against a 5000 Kiloton nuke. (.v-1) stands for “Vault 1″
Extra Info: 1000 Kilotons = 1 Megaton
Before 1. 2008, June 10th , 2:00 PM EST; The first advanced bunker ever built was guaranteed of withstanding Global Thermonuclear Warfare. The “m.80MT.v-1″ Vault is built outside Las Vegas (Vault 1)
Before 2. 1956, June 1st, 5:44 PM EST; The first advanced post ww2 bunker is guaranteed of withstanding a direct hit by a nuclear bomb that has the triple the power as the “Little Boy” Nuke that was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. The “m.5000KT.v-1″ Vault is build in Washington D.C.
Before 3. 1945, August 6th, 8:15 AM JST; ”Little Boy” was the codename of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on by the Boeing B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay, It was 15 Kilotons.
1. 2041, April 18th, 5:59 AM EST; Oil Runs Out Worldwide
2. 2044, July 15th, 6:30 AM EST; Gas Prices are too high for majority of population.
3. 2046, February 3rd, 3:00 PM EST; China demands all U.S. debt to be paid off.
4. 2046, April 1st, 2:00 AM EST; Tensions Erupt and WWIII Begins.
5. 2044, April 2nd, 1:00 PM EST; After 8 bitter years of warfare Russia (a natural country)sends seven, 15 megaton ballistic nukes at Chinese/America battlefront of Alaska.
6. 2044, April 2nd, 1:28 PM EST; 3.5% of Alaska’s square area is turned into a ball of fire, an estimated 13 million Chinese and 17 million American troops are dead or wounded. 30 million total, 78% of the 30 million are dead, >21% are wounded but dying from radiation sickness. <1% are wounded but safe from radiation. Only 72,000 American/Chinese troops remain unharmed.
7. 2044, April 2nd [aka.(EOW) Day], 1:33 PM EST; Nuclear Allies[America, France, England, Israel] launch 60% of their entire combined arsenal at the Nuclear Axis [India, China, N. Korea, Iran, Bangladesh] and 40% at the Nuclear Neutrals [Russia, Ukraine, Australia]. Nuclear Axis [India, China, N. Korea, Iran, Bangladesh] launch 70% of their entire combined arsenal at the Nuclear Allies [America, France, England, Israel] and 30% at the Nuclear Neutrals [Russia, Ukraine, Australia]. The Nuclear Neutrals [Russia, Ukraine, Australia] launch 80% of their entire combined arsenal at the Nuclear Axis [India, China, N. Korea, Iran, Bangladesh] and 20% at the Nuclear Allies [America, France, England, Israel]. All within a span of approximately 90 minutes.
8. 2044, April 2nd, 3:03 PM EST; The Population of the planet has decreased from and approximate of 9,131,541,682 to an approximate of 71,093,750. 772,013 at the time of the Nuclear Warfare are sealed in 3,840 underground Vaults in 192 countries. 77% of the land on the planet is engulfed by 10,000 ‘F fire and 98% of the populated land mass is engulfed by the flame. Only 0.778% of the planets population survived the 90 minutes. And only 0.00845% of the world’s population was ready for the attack, sealed in underground bunkers.
9. 2044, May 2nd, 3:00 PM EST; The Current Population outside World Estimate: 18,172,000 (a huge majority has died from the radiation, starvation, disease, etc.) In bunkers: 772,008. 5 teenagers who found an old bunker still died in the “m.5000KT.v-1″ Vault from 1956, this almost 100 year old vault was made to take on a 5000 Kiloton blast (5 megatons). The 157 Megaton Nuke dropped on D.C. destroyed it like it was nothing. Total ESTIMATE after one month after (EOW) Day: 18,944,008.
10. 2094, April 2nd, 3:00 PM EST; After 50 years, The current world population (outside bunkers) stands at an approximate (no significant specific records) 22,350,000. Many have died but new life continued to be born. All babies were born in deep caves to prevent mutations. Inside the bunkers of the world, strict birth limit rules have kept the population exactly the same. Each couple is entitles to two children. Children can only be made if another vault dweller dies. These rules are kept to keep overpopulation in the already crowded and out-dated/used vaults. 771,813 residents live in the vaults. The population mostly consists of the elderly and teenagers/young adults. Few well-aged Adults are around. The population is 200 people lower than it originally started as in April of 2044 because a bunker (Vault 50)in Washington D.C. was badly damaged by the 157 megaton nuke dropped on the Capital. The bunker was only designed to take on a 80 megaton nuke. If it wasn’t for the countless subways and buildings above to take some of the impact then the bunker’s seal would of collapsed killing all the residents the very first day. But by 2054 the Vaults radiation filtration system could no longer filter out the huge quantity of radiation caused by the largest nuclear device ever detonated. Eventually the radioactive air entered the Vault’s air-supply and all 200 inhabitants died.
11. 2144, April 2nd, 1:00 PM EST; the anniversary of 100 years began as the human race rejoiced that it has survived this long. The “Outside the Vault” population was an approximate 69,798,000 people. Almost to the amount that had survived EOW Day. The infant mortality rate dropped from 1 in every 2 babies dying to 1 in every 4 babies dying in the last 50 years. This is well-due to cleaner water and less radiation. Inside the vaults, the population stands at 771,213. The laws have not changed but so far 5 vaults have been lost with all 200 residents in each of them. The first one in 2054 (Vault 50) due to radiation infiltration as mentioned earlier. It went offline in 2074 possibly by the computer chip being fried from the extreme radiation. The second one in 2096 (Vault 3,824) due to rebellion; the conflict damaged the power reactor and no power stopped the water pumps. Within 7 days everyone died from lack of water. It went offline in 2097, this shows the emergency vault computer battery lasted one year. The third one (vault 99) was crushed by an earthquake in late 2112. It went offline within 13 seconds of the titanium supports breaking. In 2118 the fourth one (vault 08) was in a cliff near the pacific coast; it was carried down a mudslide due to erosion of the strong cliff that the vault used to be in. The bunker slid out from the cliff and rolled like a tire into the water then sunk. Everyone inside was severally injured by furniture and eventually suffocated due to muck stuck in the air filtration system. It is still online and will probably stay online until the nuclear fuel in the generator runs out, and that may take 600 years. In 2143, 99 years after the start of it all, the fifth one (vault 2,482) was unaware of having an undetonated 25 megaton nuclear warhead 35 feet above the top of the bunker. The warhead was 25 feet in the ground. Something triggered it and the extremely near force destroyed the bunker completely. All the bunkers were made to withstand an 80 megaton nuclear explosion ten miles away. So the 25 megaton nuke that was 35 feet from the bunker did its job. The vault went offline immediately. Total population estimate: 70,569,213. Cape Town in South Africa by this date is the most populated city in the entire world. 12% of the world population lives here; that’s about 8,468,305. In this city you can find almost everything. It is the only city with a working subway, airport and rail-line. Laws here are suitable and the country is ruled by a council of 103 wise offspring of United Nations representatives. Radiation here is low and the health is much better. The cultural style is similar of that of the 1950s in the united states.
Note: Fictional Story is not complete. Will be finished in future.
Inspired by the Fallout series but with more accurate dates on when we will run out of oil.
