Fallout 3 is still owned by Bethesda

Personal Journal Entry 7: Hair

We're leaving Megaton again, spent three days resupplying. She kept reminding me that inside the walls I could take off the armor. Even in her place, I don't take it off. She looks different here. Relaxed. She still wears the armor too, except at home. She wears a jumpsuit there, it says 101 on it. Guess she is from a vault.

She is fixing her hair before we leave, stupid. Does her hair up so nice,when the helmet will just mess it up again.

(female voice) Grab a few more bloodpacks. I don't want to run out again!

Yeah! Just let me turn this thing off. Do you want anyth-

Personal Journal Entry 8: XVI The Tower

The walk was long, but easy. I was getting sick of eating mole rat when we finally got to Tenpenny Tower. I don't know how the thing stands, but just looking at it makes me nervous. Raising out like a monument, nothing stays in one piece like that without being built on the bodies of other people.

There was a ghoul at the entrance when we got there, demanding to come in. They turned the poor sap away, don't know why he'd want in with them. They stink of their own caps. Didn't want to let smoothskin in until she convinced em, told them she wanted to see Tenpenny. Not my business I guess, she didn't even tell me we were coming here. At least we'll be able to get some more supplies. She went up to see Tenpenny, so I'm staying down here. Got enough caps for a good meal and a few drinks. Keeping the helmet on though, the people around here are jumpy about the ghouls.

Talked to a few of them while waiting, they all call us zombies. Self righteous bastards. Think their caps make them non-wastelanders. Their no better than any of the rest of us, just too proud to get their own hands dirty. I'd rather be going feral in a irradiated metro than stuck here.

Personal Journal Entry 9: Make a Deal

Back in Tenpenny after checking out the metro those upswinging ghouls live in. I'd still rather be down there, than in here. Smoothskin made a deal apparently with both groups. I don't know why she gives a mole rat's ass about this squabble. Either the ghouls will take the gate and kill the bastards, or the ghouls'll get shot by that bastard guardsmen. The ending will be the same either way.

Can't tell if she's looking for caps, or if she is just morally-stupid. Apparently they both agreed though, even if she makes this work, won't make no difference. Smoothskins and ghoul's can't work together, let alone live together.

Personal Journal Entry 10: Celebrity

Talked to all the residents, kicked out those who hated the ghouls. Some of it weren't pretty. Smoothskin found a letter showing some two-timing going on. Ended in blood, she seemed pretty beaten up about it. Two less smoothskins to convince, I don't see the problem. Found one of em though, one who didn't care bout the ghouls. Dashwood, the guy from that radio program on GNR. I didn't even know them stories were real! Turns out Argyle went missing in Rockopolis. Smoothskin said she'd go look for 'im. I always liked that serial, a ghoul who could really handle it. Even if he was a manservant, we all knew that without him Dashwood would be radroach food.

Showed us where Rockopolis was, we'll see if we can find some trace of him there, once all this is done.

Personal Journal Entry 11: Argyle's End

After clearing up Tenpenny we headed right to Rockopolis. The place was quiet, but that was expected what with that rockslide and all. Wish there was good news. Found Argyle near the slide, no one had messed with him. Just lying there. Better than going feral, but not by much. Smoothskin seemed bothered, and sat near his body for a long time. Asked me what ghouls did with their dead.

Hell if I knew, we never had dead. They just went feral, and then ya either shot em or kicked em into the nearest metro. Bugged me too though, I couldn't stand just leavin him like that. We dug a hole for him after taking his few things for Mr. Dashwood. Smoothskin even pilled up some rocks near the head of the grave. Called it a cairn, since we couldn't get him a headstone.

I always wanted to learn the eagle claw, now I'll never get the chance.

Device malfunction – accidental audio recording:

(Sounds of a scuffle, a clank of something hitting metal)

You bastard! You killed them!

I don't gots to explain myself to no smoothskin.

I'll kill you myself you rotten son of a bitch!

(further sounds of a struggle, an angry yell, the scrape of metal against metal) Stop hittin me smoothskin!

Get off me Charon!

Get her out of here, before we both do somethin we'll regret.

Put me down! I'll get you for this!

(Loud metal ringing, shouting, unintelligible noises) Let it go! Damn it smoothskin, let it go!

(slamming door, footsteps)

Put me down!

No.

(sound of armor being adjusted, elevator door opening)

Sorry I had to handle ya like that. I couldn't let you do something stupid.

He killed them Charon. He killed them all, then dumped them in the basement. . .like they were trash.

I know.

Why? I did everything they asked me too. I tried and. . .now Dashwood's - - (sound of muffled sobbing)

I know, I know you did kid. But ghouls and smoothskins, it just don't work out. There are somethings even you can't change.
