The location of their meeting turned out to be a lone building who somehow survived the war almost intact. It was named after its current leader Tenpenny. It was he who had sent the stranger to Megaton to find someone suitable for the job. They gave Johannicus the honor of turning the key on the remote and watched from Tenpennys balcony how the bomb turned the night into day. After they offered him a room in the tower and he accepted. He put his stuff in his room and headed down to the ground floor to sell some stuff and talk to the other people living there. It turned out they where upper class bigots with a ghoul problem. Ghouls are basicly humans who didnt have any shelter during the nuclear war and who then mutated by radiation and the FEV virus into what we now call ghouls. Since he didnt want a conflict threatening his recently found home he agreed to seek the ghouls out and find a solution to the problem. The tower recidents just wanted him to kill them but Johannicus wanted to see what ghouls was like and to see if they had a better offer of course.
When he found them he saw that they looked like Zombies, but there stoped the similarities. It turned out that they where like any human and they had tried reasoning with the tower recidents about trading with them, but no luck there. Their leader made him a counter offer and, Johannicus feeling he finaly meet people like him who was rejected and diffrent, accepted. The idea was to release some mindless feral ghouls into the tower and kill the recidents. Johannicus went back to the tower and after some asking around found the door to the basement where the ghouls where waiting. He waited until nightfall before opening the gates. The ghoul leader gave him a "Ghoul Mask" that made him look like a ghoul in the eyes of mindless ones. To this day he has never taken that mask off. That night Johannicus the human died and Johannicus the evil ghoul was born. Something in him snapped and he ran along the other ghouls killing the humans and finaly feeling free.
