"Gramp, please." A woman begged the Overseer of the vault, her hands clasped together while she looked at her grandfather. "We need to get out there and see the waste. You know just as well as I do that population control isn't working, and relations with the Vault staff aren't getting any better. We need air."
For the past week in the crisp and new month of february, Mia Sato had constantly badgered her grandfather, the Overseer to the vault that she and everyone else she knew lived in, to send some people outside the vault and scout the nearby area.
Standing next to her was Doctor Gregg, who was the former leader to the Vault-Tec staff, but has since moved down from his position since the two parts of the vault merged into one. Since the hidden sector of the Vault was discovered, Gregg had taken a position next to the Overseer, proving invaluable in terms of Vault Tec truths and overall direction. "She's right, you know." He commented. "This is the year that Vault Tec believed would be the year of safety, when the release signal would be sent to the vaults for opening." However, they all knew that signal was never coming. They were already far behind the schedule that Vault Tec set out for them, if that was their true window for time.
Jason Sato looked to her granddaughter and his assistant, tapping his chin. They were becoming rather insistent on having some people look outside the vault. Unfortunately, they could not set up any sort of way to monitor the outside world from in the vault, but maybe they would be able to do so if they finally opened the doors. However, he was aware of the risks. If he were to open that door, people, whatever people were still alive, would see, and they would alert others and they would either be wasted or taken advantage of.
"If I were to send out some sort of reconnaissance team," He watched as Mia's eyes widened and Gregg's eyes were taken off of his pip-boy. "Who would I pick? Would I take volunteers? Given how the vault has tailored us to... exceeding the limitations and expectations of man, both mentally and physicaly, just about anyone could be deemed ready to go out and explore. But these are things that need to be thought of before any sort of other decisions can be made." He could see the readying excitement in Mia's eyes, ready to dash off at even the semblance of a dismissal to get started.
"However, I myself am I busy man. Doctor Gregg here is as well, so taking the time to talk to everyone and decide who would be ready to scout out the land above. We have no idea what we're getting ourselves into, so we must take each step with every ounce of caution possible."
Mia was a smart woman. She knew what her grandfather was telling her, and she was itching to bounce off, but she couldn't just yet.
"M-" Jason couldn't get even a word out before Mia rushed off out of the Overseer's office, jumping and bounding out of the office and through the hallways.
It was only a matter of time before she got outside to see the world above.
