I found Megaton, the only city - if you could even call it that - within a few miles of 101. Goddamn, what a sorry ass dump! Guess it's as good as it gets after the bomb. I'm glad I got my shots before I left the vault, all that rusted metal and scrap would've cut me good, inside and out.
Sheriff Sims greeted me the second I walked through the gates. Well, he was the first human to, anyway. Deputy Weld, a bot, welcomed me just outside, I think it guards the entrance from unwanted types. Sheriff Sims seemed friendly but kinda standoffish at the same time. That's what happens to a man when he gets fucked with too many times, I guess. As long as I behave myself he won't hound on my ass.
I spent the rest of the evening walking around that town, getting to know where things are, trying to talk to people. I thought 101 was full of cold types, but these...Megatonians...they got a lot on their minds, I can tell. Won't even give me the time of day (but I got Pip for that anyway). At least some of them looked my way, even said hi.
Now what's this shit about a live bomb? Better go look at it, I don't like bombs. I mean, look what happened to fucking DC.
