"You aren't supposed to be here young man. wait a moment," she makes her way over to you. "Hello ladies," says the lady, "I am Doctor Romero. Next to the table is an attractive lady in what must be a vault suit, but she also has a lab coat on over the top of it. It seems they are something of a one-size fits all type of garment. The sizes are strange, being labeled simply: adult, adolescent, child, toddler, and infant. On the table are boxes marked "vault suits" with sizes on them. You all walk through single file to reveal a spartan room with a table and some benches around the walls.

"Haley Jane Willis," replies your mother. She hesitates a moment looking at your mother's gun. "Okay if the rest of you could step through here," she says, motioning to a door. "Yes, I suppose," says the woman nervously. "Excuse me ma'am, could you and your daughter wait for the next group? I am supposed to send through groups of precisely twenty."

Your sister is sweet, and generally not the nuisance popular culture makes younger siblings out to be. Casey clings to your mom as she holds Gina, which leaves you still holding Shelly's hand. Most of your fear has evaporated with the prospect of adventure, and the presumed safety of the Vault. You enter through the massive gear-like Vault door, and try to take everything in as you are hurried through the door sealing chamber.
