Part 2 - Megaton


In the town of Megaton Johannicus was greeted by the local Sheriff who also was the town Mayor. He told him about the rules in town and what it had to offer in terms of services. He also found out why the town was called Megaton. Apperantly during the nuclear war one of the bombs didnt detonate and in the years after the war a small settlement was formed around the crater in wich it lied. Today the town is more protected by better walls and "The curch of Atom" woreshipped the bomb. In this crazy world Johannicus realised he needed some gear to protect himself with and headed to the local store run by Moria. She made him an offer that if he helped her with the research for her book "The wasteland survival guide" she would help him with some gear and caps.
Caps was the currency they used now and was basicly your ordinary bottle cap. Some of the stuff he helped her with was; Radiation sickness effects, Mine defusing, Injury, Food and Medical supply gathering, pre-war Library finding and finding out how a settlement was started. In the end he felt more like a labrat then a business partner and so his anger slowly started to build again. One evening, after finaly finishing the guide, when he was trying to relax in the local bar he meet another person who wasnt local. After several hours of talking and sharing drinks the stranger asked Johannicus if he wanted to blow the town up. He only needed to attach a small Pulse detonator to the bomb so they could blow it by remote. Johannicus, fueled by his anger of being used and lied to, agreed. After picking up his stuff and stealing some more weapons and ammo from the local armory he set off to the south in the night towards the meeting point that the stranger told him about.
