The consensus of the Vault Dwellers that left the Vault was two things: awe at the Wasteland and a need to find new shelter. The only landmarks that stood out to Matthew were the buildings in the distance and the road signs. Denver and Colorado Springs, and then the buildings. [i]Why the fuck are you thinking about buildings? You just got out of the Vault. See if everyone is okay[/i], Matthew thought to himself. Everyone looked a little battered, some worse than others. Johnny was on the ground, barely talking. Whatever happened to him was far worse than what happened to the rest of the group. Matthew slowly made his way past the others and over to Johnny. Reaching down, he grabbed him up and helped get him to his feet. "We gotta get him somewhere to rest. All I know is this isn't the place" Matthew said. There were many viable options of places to go and Matthew did not know which would be the best.

"I agree with Jack. We need to get somewhere safe is all I know at this point" he spoke softly. Matthew decided to take another look around the area. He leaned Johnny up against a nearby wall of rock, and then started walking away from the cave entrance. It was hot. It was dry. It was sunny. Matthew did not stare directly into the sun but he marveled at it. His whole life he had known no other light than the UV lights and regular lights down in the Vault. Matthew knelt down and gathered a handful of sand. He watched as it slowly fell, many grains at a time, through his fingers and back onto the ground. When he reached down to do it again his hand caught something of interest, a small metal tube. He brought it up into the light and held it in front of his face. It was had a bronze hue to it. A heavy dent covered one side. After a brief examination, Matthew came to the conclusion that it was lipstick or something like that. He popped open the top and started to turn the bottom. A finger fell out of the tube. When the finger fell, Matthew tossed the tube away and stood up very quickly. "Fuck" he said, shivering. This was a great first impression of the Wasteland. 

"Okay guys. Where should we go? What should we do?"
