    Funny discovery fallout 4

    Posted: 28 May 2021 11:17 AM PDT

    So if you go to diamond city, by wellingtons patio restaurant, there's a stair case leading to the "Hawthorne Residents". It's an advanced lock to pick and there's usually people around so make sure you're hidden. Inside, and I kid you not, you will find more than 20 cats. She must be some crazy cat lady living in the smaller little apartment with over 20 house cats. It's hilarious to see

    I love Nuka-World so fucking much!

    Posted: 28 May 2021 10:49 AM PDT

    Seriously, I'm gunning down people left and right, listening to RedEye singing songs about plundering and raping and shit, and having the TIME OF MY LIFE! God it's so stress relieving to be the bad guy in a game for once! No real duties piling up on your shoulders. No rules to follow. No world to save. Just pure, fucking, crazy, SHIT!

    I cannot recommend Nuka-World enough! If you haven't tried it yet, DO IT! Just go nuts! Be the bad guy through and through! It's just a game!

    Which is the best fallout nv dlc

    Fallout 3 strange bug I think..

    Posted: 28 May 2021 05:14 PM PDT

    I don't even know is this is a bug, but I have tried searching for it.. When I got to my 4 playthrough on fallout 3 I was walking in the wasteland and I came up to supermutants and they ware friendly did not attack me or anything, when I got to DC all of the supermutants ware friendly also, so the whole DC I could walk with no one attacking me, accept talon company 😂 or some other thing.. Did this ever happen to you to?, have no pictures sorry..

    Are Pipboys few in number in universe? Or what happened to them?

    Posted: 28 May 2021 02:24 PM PDT

    So this has been on my mind for a while. With how people talk about your character having one makes it seem like there are some out there. You don't see many in game aside from that one still active vault in 4.

    Also do you think all the PCs you see in each game are the same model? I'm just thinking of writing a fan fic and I'm just trying to flesh out the lore and see what I have to work with.

    Fallout Australia? How would it work?

    Posted: 28 May 2021 08:50 PM PDT

    In madMax it's all desert but if Australia did get nuked in 2077 like America how would it look and work, like the main city's like Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra, Perth, etc. How would the game play be like as the player? What animals will be mutants? And so on

    The Courier's child!

    Posted: 28 May 2021 07:52 AM PDT

    In fallout NV while talking to the lonesome drifter he says his father abandoned him and that hes from montana, and if you have the black widow perk, the Courier says "Wait, Montana? You wouldnt happen to be 17 would you?" The lonesome drifter then responds "no sir im 28, why?". The Courier then changes topic. This heavily implies that the Courier has a child in montana! What if he's the next fallout protagonist!?!

    Ps4 fallout 76 controller skin sticker

    Posted: 29 May 2021 01:02 AM PDT

    I know it's a long shot but does anyone have a fallout controller skin for the PS4 that I can buy off them? It's for my girlfriend. She's had one on her ps4 controller that she got when she bought fallout 76 but it's super old and scratched up so I'd love to find a new one for her to surprise her for her birthday next month. I know it's just a sticker but it's her favorite controller because of that sticker so if anyone can help me I'll be forever grateful.

    Fallout 5 Setting Speculation

    Posted: 28 May 2021 11:28 PM PDT

    Fallout 5

    So this is just a Theory, but I honestly think Fallout 5 will either take place in Colorado or Texas.

    To begin Colorado would be a fantastic option as the Cheyenne Mountain Complex (NORAD) would be the optimal location for the Enclave to regroup. Before anyone mentions Fallout Tactics, that game is no longer fully-canon. The only remaining Canon mention of NORAD (as far as I'm aware) is in FO2 and it simply states that NORAD is "Offline"

    Story wise a Fallout in Colorado would place the player deep into Caesars Legion, (Or a Legion embroiled in Civil War) Properly displaying the Legions heartlands would be a welcome and fascinating addition to the Fallout Series IMO.

    Now for Texas.. Texas would be a fantastic location for Fallout as it's easy to Assume the Texas Rangers still exist and are attempting to maintain law and order in a desolate wasteland. Small towns scratching out a living on the Rio Grande continuously being attacked by outlaws and raiders. With Texas being one of the last places In Fallout Lore to have a supply of Oil (and massive in size) we could potentially see the first use of Vehicles in this particular setting. This would also be a perfect location for the Whole Western feel that obsidian is so great at achieving.

    But what's your thoughts? What's a Location you would like visit in a Fallout Game?

    FO4: Far Harbor flickering objects/textures fix? [XB1]

    Posted: 28 May 2021 09:31 PM PDT

    I have seen a couple other old posts about this but I was wondering if there was anything new I could try. I have cleared cache, uninstall/reinstalled Far Harbor, and tried disabling my texture mods and UFO4P. I've also had some freezes when I venture just beyond the town itself. My mod list is pretty minimal but I suppose that something there must be the culprit.

    The only time I ever got the Firelance.

    Posted: 28 May 2021 03:23 PM PDT

    I've been playing FO3 a lot lately. I just got done with an Energy Weapons character and started a melee playthrough. Throughout my entire EW playthrough I didn't get the Firelance. And here comes my melee character, just stepped out of Vault, got attacked by a gang of raiders and one of them shot at me with me with a fancy Alien Blaster that can set people on fire.

    Life in the wasteland is better than pre-war life

    Posted: 29 May 2021 12:41 AM PDT

    I know that reading this title you must have thought I was an idiot, but I ask you to read and write your opinion :)

    ​

    In the fallout wasteland we are presented with several dangers, among them: Supermutants, Deathclaws, Feral Ghouls, Synths, Scorchbeasts, and many others.

    However, most people do not live in the wild Wasteland of Fallout, but most of them live in protected settlements, such as Megaton, Diamond City, Covenant, Vault City, and others.

    Life in these settlements tends to be better than pre-war life, a pre war life was a life full of fear, poverty, and corruption. I believe that many know that the life that Nate, Nora and Shaun led in Fallout 4 before the war, is a rare life, most people had a shit job, with no labor rights, and lived in shacks. Neighborhoods like Sanctuary Hills were rare, so much that we don't find so many of them in
    Fallout games.

    The economy was a crap disguised as a (fake) American dream. While in the settlements mentioned above, life is simpler, so much so that social inequality is minimal, very few people are very rich in Fallout, and very few people are very poor, and this is not because of some kind of political conscience or something like that, but because people in the Fallout world know that there are more important things than having a car of the year. They know that what matters is to be with the people you care about, so much so that those who have nothing to lose, become raiders, scavengers, mercenaries or even soldiers.

    ​

    The world of Fallout is a bloodthirsty, violent and dangerous world, but if the pre-war population had the mentality of the post-war population, perhaps the apocalypse would not have happened.

    ​

    Remember friends: you're not alone out there. The world is filled with people, and you share the same goals with at least some of them. Take care of yourselves. And each other. Okay?

    - Julie (Fallout 76)

    Fallout 4 When moving during sneak, enemy becomes aware of you

    Posted: 28 May 2021 03:11 PM PDT

    To be specific, when I'm in stealth and not moving, I'm hidden, but the moment I moved, the stealth meter went to caution, and enemies started to be aware of me. I tested this in Corvega factory, starting at the basement. The moment I moved, my stealth meter went to caution, and enemies that are floors above me started to be aware. There's no sight, but it's like I made a giant footstep that everyone in the building could hear me. I then went to the nearest enemy who couldn't see me because of the darknes and was behind him, while I was really close. He seems to be stuck in a state of aware and not aware, constantly pulling out his weapon then hosltering it again. Some other enemy I encountered are also red on the compass, meaning they are aware of me, but still in caution state, yet they walked around like nothing is happening.

    Why is this happening? How to fix it?

    These are my active mods...

    Fallout Midwest Episode Four [FULL SCRIPT]

    Posted: 28 May 2021 06:41 PM PDT

    BEGIN NIGHTMARE SEQUENCE

    INT. VAULT ENTRANCE - NIGHT

    John violently bashes Cole in the head with his BATON.

    The CRUNCH and SPLAT of Cole's head being smashed is audible.

    Blood spurts onto John's face with each swing.

    John is crying, but continues.

    He stops swinging and looks up.

    Charlie, Ella, and Danny all stare at him in disgust.

    ELLA: Did that make you feel like a big man? Did you think that would make Billie love you?

    BILLIE: Of course not. He's a coward. He had to sneak up on him because he couldn't face him.

    JOHN: I didn't- I thought he was gonna stop us. I thought we would get caught.

    DANNY: You've wanted to do that for so long. You can lie to us, but you can't lie to yourself.

    CHARLIE: He didn't deserve it, but you do.

    BILLIE: You're weak and pathetic. I could never love you. You're nothing compared to him.

    A charred hand grabs his ankle.

    He looks down to see a smoldering Cole.

    COLE: You're a waste!

    John stumbles backward and falls to the ground.

    John looks up to see a settlement in flames, littered with the burning bodies of vault dwellers.

    DISEMBODIED VOICE: You killed us. This was your fault. We died because of you.

    John frantically looks around in the darkness.

    Cole grabs him by the ankle.

    John tries to back away.

    Cole crawls on top of John.

    COLE: I could've been something! I could've done things for the wasteland! You're only caused death and destruction!

    John struggles.

    END NIGHTMARE SEQUENCE

    INT. WAREHOUSE - NIGHT

    John is convulsing on the floor.

    He is pale and drooling.

    LILA (20) raises his arm and rolls him onto his side.

    SILVER (40) is biting his thumbnail and pacing.

    LILA: This is your fault.

    SILVER: I fucking know that. Will you help him?

    LILA: If he dies, I will never forgive you.

    EXT. CITY RUINS - DAY

    John is scavenging through a building in town.

    He exits the building.

    A GUNSHOT goes off.

    The window beside John shatters.

    John retreats inside and hides behind a column.

    He pulls out his gun and checks the magazine.

    He grabs a piece of glass and uses the reflecting to locate the approaching raider.

    He leans out and puts three in the chest of the raider.

    RAIDER: Oh shit! He killed Creepy Bob!

    Three other raiders quickly take cover behind a car beside the dead raider.

    The raider boss, Silver (40s), motions for his men to surround the entrance.

    SILVER: Come on out, man. We ain't gonna hurt ya.

    Silver inspects Creepy Bob's body.

    JOHN: I just killed one of your guys. Of course you're gonna hurt me.

    SILVER: Nah, you just did me a favor. I've been trying to figure out how to cut this guy loose. He gave my sister the creeps. Now if you'd killed Todd or Jasper, then we might have a problem.

    JASPER: Might?!

    SILVER: Definitely. We would definitely have a problem. Anyway, Bob was always a "shoot first, ask question later" kinda guy. I'd prefer to resolve the situation diplomatically...All three shots center mass. Impressive.

    JOHN: I've had training.

    SILVER: Perfect. We're a man down now and we're headed to do a job. We could use somebody who knows how to handle a weapon.

    Pause.

    JOHN: How do I know you won't just kill me as soon as I step out?

    SILVER: We're a fucking man down dude. Look, we're putting our weapons away.

    The raiders holster their weapons.

    JOHN: What about after the job?

    SILVER: Eh, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

    JOHN: Rather cross it now.

    SILVER: Oh yeah, no, I don't mean we're gonna kill you or anything. I just mean like we split the loot and go our separate ways or stick together...What's your name?

    JOHN: What's your name?

    SILVER: Silver.

    JOHN: What's your real name?

    Silver looks over at Todd and Jasper.

    SILVER: C-Clarence.

    JOHN: Clarence?!

    SILVER: Yeah man. Clarence.

    JOHN: Bullshit!

    SILVER: Why do you think I go by Silver? Believe me, I didn't choose Clarence. Look 'whatever your name is', I gotta feeling you're a total badass with that gun, and that you could take all three of us out if you needed, but I can tell you ain't from around here. See, this is a high traffic area. You're not gonna find much in the way of loot in these buildings. You come to this area because you're hunting or passing through. If you need gear or supplies, well, Bob's not using his anymore. Run with us and we'll help you find whatever you're looking for.

    John looks through the reflection in the glass and sees them standing with their weapons holstered.

    JOHN: Alright. I'm coming out.

    TODD: He's just a kid.

    SILVER: You're from a vault?!

    John looks down at his vault suit.

    JOHN: Ah yeah. Yeah, I am.

    SILVER: Awesome! I always thought those things were scams! You gotta tell me all about it! You're lucky we got to you before the slavers or cannibals that come through here did. You'd either be someone's lunch or someone's sex boy right now.

    EXT. SHACK - DAY

    The group approach a shack.

    SILVER: Follow my lead. This guy owes an associate of ours some money and we're here to collect.

    Silver knocks on the door.

    The man shouts from inside.

    MAN: What?

    SILVER: Hey friend, I believe we have a mutual acquaintance. We-

    MAN: He's not getting his money. Leave now or I'll shoot you dead where you stand.

    SILVER: Alright alright, no problem. We'll leave...Just as soon as you sing a long for me.

    Long pause.

    There is a commotion inside.

    The man bursts out of the back door at a full sprint and runs off into the distance.

    Silver shoots the door handle and kicks open the door.

    SILVER: His cap stash is probably around here somewhere.

    JOHN: What was that?

    SILVER: Ah, that's right, you're from a vault. It's basically a call sign that means you're fucked. If a stranger walks up to you, and say's "Sing a song for me" chances are they're from the Triple SGs, which means you're either about to be murdered, in dramatic fashion, or enslaved. Most Wasters shit themselves when they hear it.

    JOHN: What's to stop someone from fighting back?

    SILVER: I mean, you can, but if it gets out that you killed a Triple SG, you're marked. You gotta watch your back for the rest of your life, however long that may be. I heard of a guy who got away. Thought he was free and clear. Got popped by a street performer. Dude did a full magic show. People applauded when it happened because they thought it was part of the act. I'm telling you man, these guys are a different breed.

    JOHN: So, what? Somebody just walks up to you, says "Sing me a song" and that's it?

    SILVER: Yeah. Basically. Unless you bring down the house.

    JASPER: Found it. Looks like 500 caps give or take.

    SILVER: Ah hell yeah. That's what? 100 each?

    JOHN: Wait, I thought this belonged to somebody.

    SILVER: Well, I mean yeah, it belonged to that guy.

    JOHN: Did we just steal from that guy?

    SILVER: The way he was running, I don't think he's coming back.

    EXT. CAMP - NIGHT

    SILVER: Oh yeah, you guys haven't been formally introduced.

    Todd and Jasper argue amongst themselves.

    TODD: You always do this. You ask me to do something you know I don't wanna do and make me the asshole for saying no.

    JASPER: Jeez man, you can just say no. I didn't know it was gonna be such a big deal.

    SILVER: Hey guys.

    JASPER: Hey, I'm Jasper. You can call me Jazz. This is Todd. He's a little grumpy grump.

    TODD: He's a gaslighting asshole.

    JASPER: You love this asshole.

    TODD: You just gonna leave it at that?

    JASPER: I could go on.

    TODD: Come on, not in front of the new guy.

    SILVER: Anyway, who you haven't met is Lila.

    Silver and John walk toward Lila.

    SILVER: They're always like that. You get use to it.

    They approach Lila.

    LILA: Who's this loser?

    SILVER: She's just kidding.

    LILA: Hm.

    SILVER: This is John. He killed Creepy Bob and helped us get this.

    Silver hands Lila 100 caps.

    LILA: Really?

    Lila looks John up and down.

    John looks from Lila to Silver and back.

    LILA: If you say so.

    She walks off.

    JOHN: Is she always like that?

    LILA (O.S.): Yep.

    SILVER: She just has to warm up to you.

    A large black dog, Rasputin, from Episode Two, walks up and sniffs, then licks John.

    SILVER: This is Ras. He comes and goes. Mostly just hangs around camp and keeps watch when he's here. He's a teddy bear...How many stations you get on that thing?

    John looks at his Pip-Boy, then back at Silver.

    SILVER: My dad had one. He wasn't from a vault or anything. Said he'd got it off of a trader. I never got how they just know where you are, you know?

    INT. WAREHOUSE - NIGHT

    SILVER: Check his breathing! Is he breathing?!

    LILA: He's breathing! He just- Fuck!

    Lila starts giving John chest compressions.

    EXT. CAMP - DAY

    John wakes up with Lila staring at him.

    JOHN: What? What happened?

    LILA: You talk in your sleep. And moan. And cry.

    JOHN: Uh...Sorry.

    LILA: Nightmares?

    JOHN: ...Yeah. I-

    LILA: Killed a guy.

    JOHN: Uh...yeah.

    LILA: You mentioned that. Believe me, Creepy Bob wasn't worth losing sleep over.

    JOHN: It was someone else. Someone who didn't deserve it.

    LILA: How many people have you killed?

    JOHN: Just two. Why?

    LILA: Bullshit.

    JOHN: What?

    LILA: I call bullshit.

    JOHN: What? Why?

    LILA: Uh, because you're a raider.

    JOHN: What? No. I'm not a raider.

    Lila motions for John to look around.

    LILA: Uh, Buddy, you're a raider.

    JOHN: What? No, I- We- Oh...shit.

    LILA: I remember the first guy I killed.

    JOHN: Yeah?

    LILA: Yeah. He was a raider, actually. A group of raiders came through our camp and tore through everyone. I managed to grab a knife that had fallen during a struggle and stabbed one of them in the leg. He bled a lot and he bled fast. The others killed my family in front of me, tied me up, and sold me off to some slavers. The raiders told the slavers what happened and I guess they took a shine to me. They fed me, clothed me, trained me, took me out on grab missions. They'd use me as a distraction, or as a lookout, or have me take out the guards. No one assumes the nine year old girl is packing a knife. One day, I don't know if he was a lawman or a merc, but he tracked us down and took out everyone I was with. He must've thought I was their captive. He didn't say a word, he just left me there like an asshole. I didn't know how to get back to camp, but I knew how to survive. Eventually crossed paths with Silver. He said I reminded him of his sister, so I figured I'd be safe. Relatively speaking.

    EXT. TOWN - DAY

    John and company walk through an abandoned town.

    Silver hears three men, singing loudly, heading their direction.

    One man is a young Envoy Two, from Episode Two.

    SILVER: Oh shit. Give me your gun. Follow my lead or we're all fucked.

    The slaver approaches.

    GUY: Friendly?

    SILVER: Sometimes.

    GUY: Hah! Good answer. Who are you with? The Outsiders? New Delinquents? Misfits? T-Birds? Pink Ladies?

    SILVER: We're freelance.

    GUY: Is that so? This your group? This all of you?

    SILVER: Nah, we've got people waiting on us back at camp. Set up not too far from here actually.

    GUY: Hm...

    The slaver looks around.

    GUY: How much you want for the vault dweller?

    SILVER: This one's claimed already. Dropping him off now.

    GUY: Who by?

    SILVER: Can't say.

    GUY: How much are they paying? I know some people who would pay top dollar for a Vault Dweller. Good at menial work, clean, soft hands, don't put up much of a fight. So I hear anyway. It's rare. Perfect for my clientele. I can give you your cut of the caps right now.

    SILVER: What makes you think I don't know the people you know?

    GUY: Hah. I doubt it. If you knew the people I knew, you'd be dressed better.

    SILVER: It's comfortable.

    GUY: Yeah, okay.

    SILVER: Why are you wearing a leather vest? It's hot as shit out.

    GUY: I like how it looks. I'll give you a thousand caps for him.

    Silver gasps, then covers it up with a forced laugh.

    SILVER: A thousand caps? For a vault dweller? I could get that anywhere.

    GUY: Two thousand.

    Silver shakes his head and motions to raise the price.

    GUY: I'm not giving you three thousand caps.

    SILVER: That's fine. The people I'm delivering him to are paying top dollar for clean, premium meat. You want this Vault Dweller, it's gonna cost you at least three thousand.

    Guy looks over to John.

    John looks from Silver, to Guy, and back.

    Guy looks at John's neck.

    GUY: No collar, huh?

    Silver looks to John's neck.

    SILVER: Uh...

    GUY: Three thousand caps you said?

    SILVER: Uh...yeah.

    John glares at Silver.

    Guy watches and strokes his moustache.

    GUY: Hm...I'll do three thousand if you sweeten the deal...Sing a song for me.

    The group freezes.

    SILVER: W-What?

    GUY: Pick a song. What song do you sing when you're all alone?

    SILVER: I-I can't sing. I don't-

    GUY: Come on. Three thousand caps. When are you gonna see money like that again?

    Silver starts hesitantly singing "(I Got Spurs That) Jingle, Jangle, Jingle".

    GUY: Louder...sing more with your diaphragm.

    Guy waves his hand over Silver's diaphragm.

    Silver finishes the song.

    GUY: That was beautiful.

    Guy motions to his men.

    One digs up a collar out of his bag.

    SILVER: It's really not necessary.

    GUY: Nah, you can't trust a slave to behave in the wasteland. They'll run off on you first chance they get. Put that on.

    Silver turns to John.

    GUY: Not him. You.

    SILVER: ...

    GUY: Try it on. I wanna show you something.

    SILVER: I...

    GUY: Here. Give it to me. Sometimes it helps to have an extra set of hands. People don't usually put these on themselves. Raise your chin...Raise your chin. There you go. I'm gonna take your guns now, okay bud?

    Guy hands Silver's guns to one of his men.

    He pulls out a remote.

    GUY: Now, you know what this is, right? It's a detonator. I press this, boom...

    Guy motions to his men.

    GUY: You. Vault Boy. Come here. Put these on your friends. Don't worry, you guys don't have to sing.

    JOHN: I-I don't know how.

    GUY: Clasp it around their neck and flip the switch.

    John looks at the Todd and Jasper, then Silver, who is avoiding eye contact.

    John places the collars on Todd and Jasper.

    JOHN: I'm sorry.

    Todd and Jasper nod.

    GUY: You two. Go stand with...what's your name?

    SILVER: Cla...S-Silver.

    GUY: You sure about that?...Whatever. Doesn't matter. You two, hand my people your weapons and stand next to him....Fantastic. Your turn.

    John reluctantly puts the collar on.

    GUY: Quick learner.

    Guy turns to his men.

    GUY: You guys taking notes? This is how it goes when choose your prey wisely. Nice and easy. No fuss, no muss. Didn't have to raise my voice. Didn't have to raise my weapon...I may even keep this one around for a while...

    Maintaining eye contact with John, he presses and holds the button.

    The slave collars deliver a sustained shock to the four.

    The four fall to their knees in agony.

    SILVER: Gah fuck! I thought you said these would explode.

    GUY: I did say that didn't I? You sound disappointed.

    EXT. WASTELAND - DAY

    The slavers lead John and company through the wasteland.

    Guy is leading the group, while the other two slavers are in back.

    Guy sings "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive", the other two slavers sing backup.

    John stares at the gun in Guy's holster, then looks over to see one of the slavers staring directly at him.

    GUY: Hey have you guys gone to see the baby yet?

    Neither slaver speaks up.

    GUY: Guys. You gotta go see his kid or he's gonna think you don't like him.

    YOUNG ENVOY TWO: Why did he even have a kid? We're raiders.

    Guy looks at the two slavers.

    GUY: Hey. We may be slavers, but we are artists. They are raiders.

    SILVER: Hey.

    JASPER: Hurtful.

    EXT. SLAVER CAMP - DAY

    Guy and company approach the gate of a large encampment.

    Guy whistles.

    A guard peers over the gate.

    The guard opens the gate.

    EXT. SLAVER CAMP - LATER

    The cell door swings closed locking John, Silver, Jasper, and Todd in the same cell.

    Silver goes and lays down in the back of the cell.

    GUY: Forgive the digs. It's temporary. We put it together in a rush...Don't try getting out though. We made sure the cells were secure. Kind of a top priority in the slave game.

    Guy walks up to a guard.

    GUY: Keep an eye on these guys. Me and the boys are heading back into town. We'll pick them up tomorrow for transport. Be nice to our guests.

    Guy and the boys leave.

    JOHN: What was that back there?

    JASPER: He- Silver's parents weren't...reliable.

    JOHN: What does that mean?

    TODD: His dad abandoned him when he was a kid-

    JASPER: On his birthday.

    TODD: Then his mom bailed.

    JASPER: The ways he tells it, he was on his own since he was ten years old. But I don't know of any ten year olds who've made it into adulthood, out in the wasteland, by themselves...I think all that triggered something and maybe he got trapped in a moment. It happens to everyone out here at one point or another. Best you can hope for is that you have people you can depend on when it does.

    TODD: What Jazz here is trying to say is, if we get out of here in one piece, don't cut and run because of this.

    JASPER: He needs us right now, you included, and if we get outta here and you leave, he'll take it pretty hard.

    INT. WAREHOUSE - NIGHT

    John coughs and vomits onto the floor.

    SILVER: Well that's good right? That means some of it is out of his system.

    John, semiconscious, moans and opens his eyes.

    LILA: John? John!

    John is unresponsive.

    Lila shakes John.

    EXT. SLAVER CAMP - NIGHT

    John sleeps restlessly.

    He wakes up.

    Todd and Jasper are asleep, while Silver sits at the entrance of the cell.

    SILVER: Nightmares?

    JOHN: ...Yeah.

    SILVER: I'm sorry about all this. I'm gonna figure a way outta here.

    Silver tosses John JET.

    John stares at it.

    SILVER: It'll help you sleep.

    GUARD: You got anymore of that?

    Silver pulls out another JET and holds it on his side of the cell bars.

    As the guard reaches for the JET, the guard is blindsided by Rasputin so quickly it looks like he was hit by a train.

    The guard screams.

    SILVER: Jesus Christ!

    John scrambles to the cell door and watches in horror.

    Todd and Jasper wake up.

    Two other guards come out with assault rifles to investigate the screaming.

    They shoot at Rasputin.

    Lila runs up to the corpse of the guard and grabs his keys.

    Rasputin leaps onto one of the guards, taking him to the ground and ripping his throat out.

    The other guard continues firing at Rasputin.

    There is an explosion.

    Lila opens the gate.

    LILA: Holy shit! I didn't teach him any of that! Let's go let's go let's go!

    EXT. CAMP - NIGHT

    The group approach camp with Rasputin in the lead.

    They all silently stare at Rasputin as they walk.

    TODD: That was fucked up.

    SILVER: At least he's on our side.

    Rasputin stops and looks back at the group.

    They stop and stare at him.

    He continues to camp.

    EXT. CAMP - CONTINUOUS

    John is sitting, looking out into the horizon.

    Rasputin starts walking over to John.

    John tenses up.

    Rasputin licks John in the face and nuzzles up to him, rubbing his head all over John.

    John laughs and starts playing with Rasputin.

    Silver approaches.

    SILVER: Hey man. Want a beer?

    JOHN: Sure.

    SILVER: I heard you guys. Back in the cell.

    JOHN: It's none of my business.

    SILVER: No. You should know. You should hear it from me...My, uh, my dad did leave when I was a kid...When I was little, he would never miss a birthday. Then things got rocky between him and my mom and he started to forget. Anyway, he took my sister and booked..

    John points in Lila's direction.

    SILVER: No, no. Met her later...uh, it was just me and my mom for a while. Not too long though. It's hard enough being out there on your own, but with a kid...it was too much for her I guess. Like I get that she couldn't feed the both of us, but how do you just abandon your child? What kind of mother- What kind of person...I'm sorry, uh, anyway I was on my own for a little while...

    Pause.

    SILVER: I, uh, I stole when I had to and when I got caught I, uh...

    Silver shrugs.

    SILVER: Anyway, uh, look man, if you wanna leave, I get it. I told you to stick with us like I was gonna be able to protect you and I almost got you enslaved. I get it if you don't wanna stick around. This one's on me.

    Silver takes a sip of beer and stands to his feet.

    SILVER: I'm about to hit the sack. We can talk more in the morning. If you want.

    Silver walks to his tent.

    John stares at the sleeping Rasputin, then pulls out the JET.

    He stares at the JET, then pulls off the cap of the inhaler.

    He takes a deep drag of the inhaler.

    MUSIC CUE: "Dream" by The Pied Pipers

    His eyes dilate.

    He slowly lays back drifts into a heroin-like stupor.

    BEGIN MUSICAL MONTAGE

    EXT. SHACK - DAY

    John and company are scavenging in a shack.

    A woman runs into the room, at Silver, with a bat raised above her head.

    John shoots her until his clip is empty.

    He freezes and stares at the body.

    EXT. CAMP - LATER

    John talks about what happened earlier.

    Silver pats him on the back and hands him JET.

    EXT. CITY RUINS - DAY

    John and company are in a gunfight with scavengers.

    The scavengers hide behind a car.

    John and company shoot the car.

    The car explodes.

    The scavengers are blown apart.

    John is petrified.

    EXT. CAMP - NIGHT

    John walks up to Silver and asks for JET.

    Lila watches.

    EXT. CITY RUINS - DAY

    John and company walk down the road and are ambushed by another group of raiders.

    One raider rears his hand back to lob a Molotov cocktail.

    John reflexively fixes his aim onto the Molotov and shoots.

    The rival group is engulfed in flames.

    John wipes his forehead and exhales.

    Silver, Jasper, and Todd all pat him on the back.

    EXT. CAMP - NIGHT

    Silver tosses John JET as he walks by.

    Jasper and Todd look at each other.

    EXT. CITY RUINS - DAY

    John fires a gun.

    END MUSICAL MONTAGE

    EXT. WAREHOUSE - DAY

    John is laying on table.

    Lila is beside him, holding his hand.

    Silver is pacing.

    Jasper and Todd stand silently.

    LILA: You guys have to stop. He's clearly not cut out for this.

    SILVER: We're raiders. We party. I thought he was keeping up.

    JASPER: We're kinda getting tired of raiding.

    TODD: And I mean, look at him. You ruined this kid.

    Silver looks at the three of them.

    SILVER: Fuck you guys.

    Silver storms off.

    EXT. CITY RUINS - NIGHT

    Silver wonders into an abandoned building.

    INT. ABANDONED BUILDING - OFFICE - CONTINUOUS

    "Somebody Nobody Wants" by Dion is playing from a nearby radio.

    Silver glares at the radio and changes the station.

    RADIO: Doc Dunn spinning the ones! The twos is the news and I'm bringing it to you as well. That unseen eye in the sky. If you need to know about it, I make sure you do. Long as you stay tuned.

    A voice calls out from another room.

    MAN: Someone there?

    Silver ducks.

    SILVER: Shit. Fuck.

    Silver hides behind the door.

    MAN: Hey man, I don't want any trouble, but if it's you or me, my money's on me.

    Silver grabs a CROWBAR and raises it above his head.

    The man enters the office with his gun drawn.

    The man has a TEDDY BEAR sticking out of his pocket.

    Silver brings the CROWBAR down on the mans arms.

    He drops the gun.

    Silver slams the man into the wall and starts choking him with his forearm.

    The man pulls a KNIFE out of his waistband and stabs Silver in the gut.

    Silver stumbles backward, slips on the gun, and falls to the ground beside the CROWBAR.

    The man reaches for the gun.

    Silver slings the CROWBAR at the man and hits him in the head.

    The man collapses with his eyes open.

    A pool of blood leaks out of his head.

    Silver exhales and spots the TEDDY BEAR.

    He grabs it and looks at the note attached.

    The note reads "Happy Birthday, Martha!"

    He looks at the man and starts hyperventilating.

    SILVER: Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck no no no no no.

    Silver strains to get to his feet and hobbles over to the nearby desk.

    He rifles through it and grabs a STIMPAK.

    He stabs the STIMPAK into the man.

    SILVER: Oh my god.

    Silver vomits, then frantically stumbles out of the room.

    INT. WAREHOUSE - NIGHT

    A weary Silver pounds on the door.

    Lila answers.

    SILVER: I fucked up.

    Silver collapses.

    LILA: Shit! Guys I need help here! Bring a stimpak!

    SILVER: My mom was right to leave. I fuck everything up. I'm sorry.

    INT. WAREHOUSE - DAY

    Silver wakes up on the floor.

    John is upright on the table.

    JOHN: You alright man?

    SILVER: No. I'm not.

    JOHN: What happened?

    SILVER: My life is a lie.

    JOHN: Oh...I was talking about the stab wound...You wanna talk?

    SILVER: Probably should. Maybe later though...What about you? How are you feeling?

    JOHN: My head hurts.

    Lila walks in and hands John a CARTON of purified water.

    JOHN: Ah, thanks...I'm sorry.

    LILA: Yeah. No more chems.

    SILVER: Aw, but I love chems.

    Lila glares at Silver.

    SILVER: You're right. Inappropriate. Yeah, no more chems.

    LILA: We're all gonna make sure he stays clean. No more chems. No more alcohol.

    SILVER: Okay that's a little much.

    LILA: Is it?

    Silver sighs.

    SILVER: Well what now? We become farmers?

    JOHN: I think we should make the wasteland a better place. We can't be the only raiders who would do things differently if they had the opportunity. We just have to present the option.

    SILVER: So farmers?

    LILA: Do you wanna be a farmer?

    SILVER: I'm not against the idea.

    JOHN: Oh, uh, yeah we could do that. I was thinking we escort trade caravans.

    The group continues exchanging ideas.

    FADE TO BLACK.

    Fallout Midwest Episode Three [FULL SCRIPT]

    Posted: 28 May 2021 06:19 PM PDT

    EXT. CITY RUINS (2269) - DAY

    A ghoul is walking down the road.

    "Dear Hearts And Gentle People" plays on a nearby radio.

    The ghoul enters a building, rummages through it, then returns to the road.

    Mayor Thomas (30s) and three men walk out of an adjacent building.

    MAYOR THOMAS: You lost? You look like you're not from around here.

    The men surround the ghoul.

    The ghoul looks at the men, but remains silent.

    MAYOR THOMAS: Answer a question for me. How do you guys tell each other apart? I mean, you're all just ugly as shit to me. Phew. You stink too.

    GHOUL: Fuck you, smoothskin. You're no prize to look at either.

    Mayor Thomas gets in the ghoul's face.

    MAYOR THOMAS: The fuck did you just say to me?

    The ghoul spits at Mayor Thomas's feet.

    Mayor Thomas headbutts the ghoul.

    The men grab the ghoul.

    Mayor Thomas repeatedly punches the ghoul in the gut.

    MAYOR THOMAS: That was rude and that's no way to make a good first impression. Let him go.

    The men shove the ghoul to the ground.

    MAYOR THOMAS: See his badge? Means I'm the law around these parts. Means it's my job to keep folks feeling safe from...the dangerous type...Where are you going?

    GHOUL: What?

    MAYOR THOMAS: Where are you headed? Where's your...nest?

    GHOUL: Like fuck I'd tell you.

    MAYOR THOMAS: The mouth on this one. We'll find it one way or another. You ghouls are a fucking scourge. The wasteland is just a little better with every ghoul we take out and believe me when I tell you, we will find your hive and burn it to the ground.

    Mayor Thomas motions to his men.

    GHOUL: What the fuck! Get off of me! I didn't do anything to you! I didn't fucking do anything!

    MAYOR THOMAS: You've done enough.

    INT. PROSPERITY - SALOON - NIGHT

    The towns people are all gathered around MAYOR THOMAS (late 50s), Charlie, Ella, and Danny among them.

    MAYOR THOMAS: It's been almost a year since these three came to our humble town and decided to stay. I can say with full confidence that, even though they had a rough go of it when they first got here, they have made our town better. I am proud, as I hope they are, to call them citizens of Prosperity. We've worked for over 30 years to make this a place both a trading hub and a safe place to raise a family.

    Charlie rubs Ella's pregnant belly.

    MAYOR THOMAS: You all know that when we find some people who believe in this little place as much as we do, it's something special and we don't let that slip by. I want everyone to raise a glass, bottle, whatever you got to these three.

    Danny is sitting at the bar. Raises an empty glass, then sets it back down.

    EVELYN (25), the town doctor, is leaned against the bar opposite Danny, tending bar.

    She pours a glowing green liquid into the glass, then slides Danny a RADAWAY.

    EVELYN: Nuke juice. Try it.

    Danny stares at the drink and winces as it bubbles.

    DANNY: Nah, I'm alright.

    EVELYN: I'm gonna make you something you'll like one of these days.

    DANNY: I don't know, it's just not my thing.

    EVELYN: How do you know if you don't give it a chance?

    DANNY: Alcohol and good decision making don't typically go hand in hand. I prefer to kick back and watch other people make bad decisions.

    Evelyn starts laughing hysterically.

    EVELYN: Danny, your first week here you replaced the towns piping on a whim, because you thought it was laid poorly. I only know you thought it was laid poorly because you went on and on about it as you did it. Hector almost killed you. Your decision making ability is...a topic for debate.

    DANNY: I can take Hector.

    EVELYN: I sure hope you can take him. He's like 80. I don't think I've ever seen you give that big brain a rest. Relax, be social.

    DANNY: I have fun.

    EVELYN: Name something you do for fun.

    DANNY: Uh-

    EVELYN: That isn't analyzing tissue samples in the lab.

    DANNY: Don't judge me. Why are you back there anyway?

    EVELYN: Tending bar? It's TJ's night off and I happen to be very good at making drinks. Bartending was gonna be my fallback if medicine didn't work out. I'm what you call well rounded. You'd know if you hung out with me outside the lab...You're gonna snap one day.

    DANNY: What? What makes you say that? I am like, the most sane person you know.

    EVELYN: I haven't met many sane people out here who don't drink. I mean you're smart, funny, and cute, but sane? Juries still out on that one.

    Danny freezes, absentmindedly takes a sip of the NUKE JUICE, and does a spit-take.

    Evelyn smirks.

    EVELYN: Charlie wants you.

    Danny walks over to Charlie and Ella.

    CHARLIE: I'm going to the hospital tomorrow. I know there's some interesting stuff along the way and she obviously can't come with me. Wanna come along?

    DANNY: Hell yes. I'll tell Eve I won't be in tomorrow.

    EXT. CITY RUINS - OUTSKIRTS - DAY

    Charlie and Danny are on a hill overlooking the city.

    Charlie is wearing an ARMORED VAULT SUIT.

    Danny is wearing full SAFARI GEAR.

    Charlie uses a pair of BINOCULARS, then hands them to Danny.

    DANNY: Hey do you mind if we hit that Fallon's after?

    Danny pulls the binoculars away from his face.

    Charlie is looking at him with a smug grin.

    DANNY: What?

    CHARLIE: You and Evelyn?

    DANNY: Ah nah, dude. It's nothing like that.

    CHARLIE: Oh it's exactly like that. Man, she is into you.

    DANNY: I mean...yeah, but who wouldn't be? I'm a catch.

    CHARLIE: Okay, Casanova. But seriously. She's a cute, smart, funny girl. You're smart by most measures. You two get along great.

    DANNY: I don't know man. I've got a lot going on in my life.

    CHARLIE: You spend all your time in the infirmary, with her, already.

    DANNY: You're right, we should get married.

    Danny hands Charlie the binoculars back and points to their 2 o'clock.

    Charlie looks through the binoculars, then back at Danny.

    DANNY: To the right of the hospital. Radscorpions. Come one, I wanna get a closer look.

    CHARLIE: The fuck? Why?

    DANNY: What? They're only dangerous if you go near a nest or it's mating season...It's in the WSG. You scared or something?

    CHARLIE: Of giant fucking scorpions? Yes. Absolutely.

    DANNY: Well, not to scare you even more, but chances are whichever way we enter the hospital, they're gonna sense us. On the other hand, you'll be able to tell if any head our way...What do you typically do when you come across radscorpions?

    Charlies silently stares at Danny.

    DANNY: You monster.

    They start toward the hospital.

    INT. CITY RUINS - HOSPITAL - DAY

    Charlie and Danny shuffle from room to room, rummaging through drawers and inspecting lab equipment.

    Charlie is alone in a room.

    Danny peers his head through the doorway of the room Charlie is in and stomps his foot.

    Charlie looks over to him.

    DANNY: Where was that green goo you said you saw?

    Charlie points down.

    DANNY: Gotcha.

    Danny heads to the lower levels.

    Charlie continues looking around the room and settles on a poster that catches his eye.

    Behind him, rubble begins to shift.

    A gaunt, frail, malnourished, man with sunken, discolored eyes and necrotic skin stands to his feet in muffled silence.

    He coughs, as if his esophagus has begun to decompose.

    He begins to lumber toward Charlie.

    Charlie furrows his eyebrows and cocks his head.

    He slowly turns around.

    Charlie starts to sign, then gestures for the man to stop.

    The man picks up speed and charges at Charlie.

    Charlie grabs a surgical tray and swings at the man's head.

    The man's head splits like a grape.

    Charlie freezes.

    Charlie rushes outside and bumps into Danny.

    DANNY: I came back because I don't know what this means.

    Danny mimics Charlie's earlier gesture, then looks down.

    DANNY: Ew.

    EXT. CITY RUINS - FALLONS DEPARTMENT STORE - DAY

    DANNY: Oh man. They're gonna have so much stuff I need in here.

    INT. CITY RUINS - FALLONS DEPARTMENT STORE - CONTINUOUS

    Charlie and Danny enter.

    Danny looks up at the directory signs hanging from the ceiling.

    DANNY: This way.

    The head to the appliances section.

    Danny spots a vacuum cleaner and begins dismantling it.

    He grabs the MOTOR, a VACUUM TUBE, and the HOSE.

    DANNY: No wait, don't need this.

    He drops the HOSE.

    DANNY: Wait, no I do need this.

    He picks the HOSE back up.

    CHARLIE: What are you gonna do with that?

    INT. PROSPERITY - INFIRMARY - DAY

    Danny pulls a tarp off of a large gadget he has built.

    DANNY: I call it, the Trash Cannon! I know, the name could use some work and it's too big for me to use, right now, but if I swap out a few parts here or there, who knows? Anyway, it shoots nonlethal projectiles that'll instantly incapacitate an enemy.

    CHARLIE: What if you shot a cueball out of it? Or a cinderblock?

    DANNY: Well, that it might kill someone, but I wouldn't...no I'm not gonna...I'll add settings to accommodate for changes in weight...But I'm not gonna kill anyone with it. Anyway, check this out.

    Danny motions for Charlie to use his a microscope.

    Danny introduces a petri dish with a tissue sample.

    He drops some green goo onto it.

    Charlie looks up at Danny.

    DANNY: Watch.

    The cells slowly begin to divide, then burst.

    DANNY: I think that with an irradiated, living subject, the cells don't burst. They keep growing. The radiation damages the cells and this goop stabilizes it. It subtly rewrites the DNA of the host. The increased size of the subject would exacerbate food demand meaning the affected species would need to spread, but it would also give it a distinct evolutionary advantage. I think that's why everything out here is so big. You know? It didn't have to get to everything, just select species that would migrate, propagate and become invasive species in other environments. Survival of the fittest.

    Charlie stares at Danny.

    DANNY: What? Is that not the coolest shit ever?

    EVELYN (O.S.): Dork!

    Charlie smiles, shakes his head and walks off.

    EXT. PROSPERITY - GARDEN - DAY

    Ella is walking around the garden, clipboard in hand, inspecting each plant, taking notes.

    Charlie approaches.

    ELLA: Hey Babe.

    CHARLIE: What are you up to?

    ELLA: Just making sure this fruit is growing as projected. It is. What about you? How was the trip?

    CHARLIE: It was fine. Well, I say this guy. Skin falling off his face. Looked like he hadn't eaten in a while, but he lunged at me like he was gonna tear me apart.

    ELLA: That's weird. Did you tell anyone about it?

    CHARLIE: Just you.

    ELLA: I mean we've only been out here for a year. Someone else may know something about that.

    INT. PROSPERITY - MAYOR'S OFFICE - DAY

    Charlie and Ella stand in front of a seated Mayor Thomas.

    MAYOR THOMAS: What you saw was a ghoul. Where did you say you saw it?

    CHARLIE: The hospital.

    MAYOR THOMAS: Damn. I thought we'd gotten rid of all the ghouls in the area.

    ELLA: What are ghouls?

    MAYOR THOMAS: I guess if you came from a vault, you wouldn't know. Not around these parts anyway. Ghouls use to be human. Some poor bastard gets too much radiation and rots alive. The radiation eats at 'em til they're a remnant of their former self. The base, primal, animalistic self. They just slowly fall apart. They stink too. Their digestive system rots away, but they still eat. So it just liquifies inside them and leaks out. The radiation keeps 'em alive, but I almost pity the damn lot of them.

    ELLA: You said you got rid of them?

    MAYOR THOMAS: We thought we did. You do not want an infestation. One ghoul, as you probably saw, isn't too much of a problem, but give them a chance to group together, they can be. A pack of 10 or more can take out a few civilians before we even get a chance to deal with them. You have to be preemptive with ghouls...Was that the only one you saw?

    CHARLIE: Yes.

    MAYOR THOMAS: That's not all of them. Double up when you go on patrol or scavenge. Any time you leave Prosperity, do so with a partner. Even when it's not a part of your duties. I do not want you getting hurt out there. Call Brookes in here on your way out.

    INT. PROSPERITY - SALOON - NIGHT

    Charlie, Ella, and Danny are sitting at a table.

    DANNY: What? You saw a ghoul? How could you not tell? That's awesome!

    People around the bar look at Danny.

    Evelyn sits down next to Danny.

    EVELYN: Yeah, don't say that where people can here you. My dad tells me back in the early days, before I was born, some ghouls attacked the place. Killed a little girl. That's why they killed all the ghouls.

    DANNY: Oh. Shit. My bad. Why didn't you guys ever say anything before?

    EVELYN: Not much to talk about. It's in the past, it got dealt with. Every few years we get word that some shamblers are making their way over here and we clear them out before they can root. My dad always hopes they won't come back, but that's never been the case.

    EXT. CITY RUINS - DAY

    Charlie and Danny walk through the city.

    They turn a corner and see a well dressed ghoul, standing upright, smoking a cigarette.

    Charlie and Danny freeze.

    The ghoul looks at the both of them.

    Charlie and Danny look at each other, then train their weapons on the ghoul.

    The ghoul puts his hands up.

    THE GHOUL: Whoa, whoa, chill. I'm unarmed. Take whatever you want. I don't want any trouble.

    DANNY: Holy shit! You can talk?

    The ghoul is visible angered.

    THE GHOUL: Of course I can talk, I'm not feral. Racist.

    DANNY: What? No, I'm not- I mean, I had read there were talking ghouls, but I've never met any.

    The ghoul lets out an exasperated sigh.

    THE GHOUL: Can you point those things somewhere else?

    Charlie and Danny look at each other.

    DANNY: How do we know you won't attack us as soon as we put our guns away?

    THE GHOUL: Why would I? What have I done to make you think I want to attack you?

    DANNY: Well, you're uh...

    The Ghoul raises an eyebrow.

    DANNY: ...okay yeah.

    Danny puts his weapon down, then lowers Charlies weapon.

    The ghoul puts his hands down.

    THE GHOUL: I take it you guys are from Prosperity?

    DANNY: Huh? Yeah, we're from Prosperity.

    THE GHOUL: That explains it.

    DANNY: Explains what?

    THE GHOUL: Like 20 some odd years ago, some ferals killed a little girl there and their response was to kill every ghoul they've ever came across since..

    DANNY: I'm sure it's because they don't know some of you are intelligent. I bet if they saw a real live talking ghoul, they'd see-

    THE GHOUL: Let me stop you right there, chief. It's cute that you think that, but uh, any place that kills ghouls on site for 20 years does not care whether they can talk or not. I'm not gonna risk my life to be some show animal.

    DANNY: Look man, they're good people. I don't think they're like, racist or anything. They don't have any "No Ghouls" signs or anything.

    THE GHOUL: They could string me up in the center of town and no one would lift a finger to stop it.

    Danny and Charlie look at each other.

    THE GHOUL: We'll just have to move even further out I guess.

    INT. PROSPERITY - INFIRMARY - DAY

    Evelyn is studying cells under a microscope in the lab and taking notes.

    Charlie and Danny are present.

    DANNY: He was talking.

    EVELYN: The ghoul?

    DANNY: Yeah.

    EVELYN: The ghoul was talking.

    DANNY: Yes.

    EVELYN: Are you sure? Ghouls don't talk. I mean, I've heard some stories of grunts that could be interpreted as words. Maybe some neurons firing in a pattern like they use to, but never actual talking.

    DANNY: We had a full on conversation.

    Evelyn stares at Danny.

    EVELYN: Are you fucking with me?

    DANNY: I swear I'm not.

    EXT. CITY RUINS - DAY

    Charlie, Danny, and Eve walk to where they found the ghoul earlier.

    DANNY: He was around here somewhere.

    Evelyn looks at Danny skeptically.

    The ghoul walks out of a building.

    THE GHOUL: Oh what the fuck.

    EVELYN: The fuck? That ghoul just talked. Holy shit.

    THE GHOUL: Come on, man. What did I say?

    DANNY: You said you weren't going there.

    THE GHOUL: I also said I don't wanna be gawked at.

    EVELYN: Are there more of you that can talk?

    The ghoul stares at Danny.

    THE GHOUL: Yeah. A lot. It's pretty common actually.

    Evelyn sniffs the air.

    The ghoul rolls his eyes and puts his face in his palm.

    THE GHOUL: Oh god, you're one of those.

    EVELYN: What?

    THE GHOUL: We shit like you shit!

    Evelyn looks at Danny.

    EVELYN: We gotta tell my dad.

    The ghoul sighs.

    INT. PROSPERITY - MAYOR'S OFFICE - DAY

    Mayor Thomas sits, unenthused, opposite Danny and Evelyn.

    MAYOR THOMAS: So let me get this straight. You found a ghoul and instead of clearing the area, you took my daughter there.

    DANNY: It wasn't dangerous.

    MAYOR THOMAS: Any area infested with ghouls is dangerous.

    EVELYN: Dad, the ghoul could talk.

    MAYOR THOMAS: So? Ghouls talk. Super Mutants talk. If you heard a deathclaw talking are you gonna sit down and have a beer with it? No. They're still dangerous creatures...I thought the two of you would use better judgment. I'm disappointed in the both of you.

    INT. PROSPERITY - SALOON - NIGHT

    Danny and Evelyn silently sit at the bar.

    DANNY: What now?

    EVELYN: I'm making us drinks.

    Evelyn walks behind the bar.

    DANNY: I'm not-

    EVELYN: You'll like it. I've been mulling this one over for a while now.

    Evelyn serves Danny a drink resembling milk.

    DANNY: What is this?

    EVELYN: Try it.

    Danny inspects the drink, then smells it. Then sticks his tongue in it.

    EVELYN: Well you gotta drink it now.

    DANNY: What is this?

    EVELYN: You like it?

    Danny chugs the drink.

    EVELYN: Oh...you're not supposed to...

    Danny belches.

    DANNY: Oh, excuse me. What's in that?

    EVELYN: Some milk, some honey, hubflower extract, rum, and some-

    DANNY: Can I get another?

    EVELYN: Smooth, right? I'm glad you like it.

    Danny chugs one after the other.

    EVELYN: You okay, man?

    Danny sways and slurs his words.

    DANNY: I'm great. This is being drunk? I see why people do it. This is awesome.

    EVELYN: Oh this may have gone too far. I should get you home.

    DANNY: What? I'm fine. I can go home.

    Danny stands to his feet, then faceplants.

    EXT. PROSPERITY - NIGHT

    Evelyn walks with Danny's arm around her shoulder.

    DANNY: I wanna go to the lab.

    EVELYN: No, we should-

    DANNY: Let's go to the lab.

    Danny shifts his weight and they both stumble off screen.

    INT. PROSPERITY - INFIRMARY - NIGHT

    Danny stumbles around the lab.

    EVELYN: Hey Danny, we should really get you to bed.

    Danny stumbles in front of the blackboard.

    DANNY: Imma sleep here tonight.

    Danny lays down on the floor.

    EVELYN: No- Danny.

    Evelyn starts to pick him up.

    Danny pushes her away with his foot.

    DANNY: No. I'm sleeping.

    EVELYN: Danny-

    DANNY: Go away.

    EVELYN: Oh dear god.

    Evelyn hoists Danny up.

    EVELYN: Let me at least get you to a gurney.

    Danny kisses her.

    Evelyn drops Danny, then covers her mouth.

    DANNY: Ow.

    EVELYN: Shit Danny, I'm sorry.

    She picks him up and puts him onto a gurney.

    DANNY: I like you. You're the best.

    EVELYN: Hopefully you'll feel the same way tomorrow once you've sobered up.

    Evelyn tucks Danny into a gurney, walks to the doorway, and looks back.

    EVELYN: I'll check in on you in a little bit.

    Evelyn exits.

    Danny shifts around on the gurney and looks at the blackboard.

    His face changes and he rises out of the bed.

    He swiftly walks to the blackboard.

    He stares at it, then picks up a piece of chalk, then feverishly starts writing.

    EXT. PROSPERITY - INFIRMARY - DAY

    The sun shines on the infirmary.

    INT. PROSPERITY - INFIRMARY - CONTINUOUS

    The gurney is empty.

    Danny is on the floor under covers and a mound of papers.

    Danny grunts in a distorted voice off screen.

    Danny raises up, revealing that he's turned himself into a Super Mutant.

    He rubs his head, looks at his hands, and screams.

    FADE TO BLACK.
