Hey, this is Kaidan. I'm trying to start up a community kitchen because I'm tired of eating pancakes every day. [ Laughter behind the screen as he types this. ] And we could all use better meals. Don't get me wrong, the cafeteria does a good job, but... [ Get to the point, Alenko. ]

Point is, if you have meat or vegetables or—God help us—spices, bring them over and I'll cook them for you. I have the equipment and I have water. Made bread and stew as a trial run last night, turned up pretty good.

But it could be better with more ingredients.

Thanks for reading.

Unfortunately there's not much we can do about that. I didn't have any RadAway on me when I got here. Just a couple of Stimpaks, my Pip-Boy, a handful of caps and my guns.

It's about a quarter to half a Gray, which is twenty five to fifty rads. Not a crazy amount, but the sort of exposure I'd have to log. I wouldn't worry about it unless you start experiencing acute radiation syndrome. But I'm sure you all know more about that than I do.

Radsickness is not fun. I dosed myself with enough rads to do it on purpose just once for a friend. Never again. I was down for like a week after, even with the RadAway she gave me.

Yeah, I went on a mission topside to this planet with an atmosphere so thin it took the brunt of its star's radiation. Right at the cusp of 0.7 Gy. Nastiest migraine of my life, lasted about a week too. Never again. Protip: don't take off your helmet outside, not even for a second.

I could hardly move, fever, nausea, all the fun shit.

I honestly don't know how I've managed to stay alive for 4 years outside of the vault so far.

What's a vault? [ Because he's thinking of a bank vault, or the vault of the Citadel Archives where they got trapped. ]

Underground shelters built before the bombs dropped by a company called Vault-Tec.

They were supposed to be safe places for people to wait out the Fallout, but that was a lie. Most were social experiments.
