text: No, you better just keep it to yourself. You don't want Nina getting pissed at you, you know how high strung she's able to get sometimes. Besides the population isn't growing that much yet, there are plenty of supplies. If someone gets the idea that going to the surface is necessary, you're sure that someone else will bring it up. No point in you getting in trouble. You go back to sleep and just hope Charles and Todd keep quiet about your little excursion to the surface.
  
  A few weeks later you find out Nina's pregnant, now you start to wonder about having enough room in the future. You still don't bring it up, because you don't want to upset Nina anymore in her "condition".
  
  After Jack is born, the surface thing is still in the back of your mind, but now it's been so long, you just feel it's easier not to address it to Nina. So you don't say anything.
  
  Five years pass... 
  
  Ten years have passed and the shelter is starting to get a little crowded. After all there isn't too much to do in the shelter that hasn't already been done, so sex is always (as it always has been) a popular way to pass the time. The result of that fun activity is too many babies.
  
  At this point now you say something to Nina about the surface, she's a little reluctant about the idea, but sees that it might be necessary. Unfortunately the rest of the council doesn't see it that way. Many of them have been here so long now that going to the surface is almost unthinkable. Despite great protest Nina overrides the council's advise and goes ahead with the plan anyway. This doesn't make her too popular.
  
  For one reason there's the decision of who is suppose to live on the surface, many people have full blown families now, they're a little unwilling to risk taking them up. So that means the single or childless people get the boot upstairs since they have less to "lose". That doesn't go over too well either. People start protesting loudly about being kicked out of their homes since they have as much right to stay too.
  
  One day, you're in the computer room at the time arguing with Charles who happens to be single, and giving you shit about Nina's new policy. Todd is pretty much indifferent to the idea since even though he's single he doesn't mind the idea of going to the surface, he just thinks you should've said something to Nina a long time ago to implement this plan sooner before everyone had a whole mess of babies. 
  
  That's when you get the word.
  
  Kyle comes in to tell you that during one of Nina's speeches William (Who would've been one of those kicked up to the surface along with Ron) attempted to assassinate Nina with a scalpel he stole from the medical supplies. Leon managed to stop him with extreme prejudice by breaking his neck. But its not ending there, people are starting to riot and call for someone new to be the shelter leader.
  
  You're pissed off now, you storm into the conference room ready to kick everyone's ass who DARES to try to hurt Nina again. You fire your pistol into the air causing everyone to take notice. When you get over to Nina, she's pleading for you to not shoot anybody. The assassin was already taken care of; there isn't any more need for killing.
  
  While that might be the case that still doesn't solve the problem of everyone hating Nina (And probably you too as well) if she gets thrown out of her position, the next step might be to try to throw you guys out of the shelter.
  
  Part of this you feel is your fault, you could just roll the dice here or you could attempt to take the hard line approach.
  > take control
  You said nothing when you should have about the surface five years ago. That was your fault. You can do something now though. Something unpopular and drastic, but something that will better ensure the safety of your family.
  
  "Alright, I'm doing something I should've done a long time ago! I'M taking over!"
  "You? Says who?! What gives you the right?!" someone in the crowd shouts.
  
  You point your pistol in his direction.
  
  "THIS! Is what gives me the fuckin' right bitch! My willingness to allow you to continue your goddamn existence! Now here's how things are gonna go down."
  
  You begin to implement new changes whether anyone likes them or not, and most folks don't, but as usual you don't give a shit.
  
  You keep Nina's plan for the surface idea, one of the things you do is install another call button so the elevator can now go up and down without all the extra hassle of fucking with the computer anymore, you still don't know what the fuck GZS was thinking about with that idea of fucked up engineering. Parts of the shelter begin to get stripped along with some of the vehicles still remaining outside to create a few small homes.
  
  As for who is going up to live, you devise a random numbering system that everyone has to participate in... of course you've purposely rigged it so your family doesn't have to live up there. You've also rigged it so certain "useful" members don't have to live up there either making them a little more receptive to your changes. Charles and some others are suddenly pleasant with you again. Naturally everyone who does have to leave hates your guts.
  
  Your next step is to send out "explorers" to go find other communities to contact and trade with, because you desperately need more supplies. You pick Leon for the task, but Todd also volunteers. Brenda wants to go too, but you need all the people with medical knowledge here in the shelter.
  
  A few weeks later Leon and Todd come back from their explorations. They mention they came across a place called Ashtown. They say it's a small town, but willing to trade since they have routine problems with raiders and wouldn't mind a supply of fresh water for a change.
  
  Nina doesn't exactly approve of your methods, but she goes along with you, because she loves you and you're actually getting something accomplished.
  
  Five more years pass...
  
  Things have changed quite a bit, for better and for worse.
  
  You're running the shelter and its now above town called "Exile" basically by yourself and its putting you on edge each and everyday. One thing you didn't think about when finding a trading partner, was the fact that more weapons might be coming in. You now aren't the only person here with a gun. Which has lessened your intimidation value a bit, but you've countered a full blown rebellion by turning the "sheltered" and the "unsheltered" against each other. The people who live in the shelter are of course a lot more well off and healthier, while those living on the surface now suffer from the elements and the occasional mutant wolf pack attack.
  
  The haves vs. the have nots. It's an old tale that's been played over and over. A tale that resulted in Armageddon, and now apparently even beyond it.
  
  But even you cannot prevent an unstable powder keg from exploding forever and one day it does. Full blown rioting breaks out, you attempt to squash the rebellion, but it's not even a rebellion so much as it is full blown anarchy as people IN the shelter are attempting to kill you in the opportunity to attempt to take over. Damn, you really thought Leon was on your side too.
  
  You end up having to shoot your way out of the conference room, and make it back to your room where Nina is barricaded with Jake, she opens the door long enough to let you in.
  
  "We have to get out of here!" she screams. "It's over! They're gonna kill us!"
  > stay and fight
  "NEVER! I'M the one who saved this shelter from its own idiocy! If it wasn't for me, this place everyone would probably still be living crammed together like fuckin' sardines! They WILL fall in fuckin' line!
  
  Unfortunately like most people under a dictatorship, they don't see you as a great savior but rather as the tyrant you are. Eventually a group of the surface people come down en-masse and overrun the place, you try to prevent more from coming by barricading yourself in the computer room and shutting off the elevator, but its too late, there are already a lot of them down here. There's no way you can fight all of them, you don't have the ammo and all your loyal guards are dead. You and your family are trapped and you know what they'll do to all of you if they take you alive, you look at Nina and Jack... 
  
  Nope, you're still in control of some things around here. You take a deep breath and look directly into Nina's eyes.
  
  "Know that I always loved you... the both of you." you say sadly.
  
  Then without any further hesitation you shoot them both in the head.
  
  After wiping a tear from your eye, you start paying attention to the threats outside your door.
  
  "Get outta there you sonofabitch! It's over! You and your fuckin' family are through!"
  "Oh yeah?! We'll see who's fuckin' through you ungrateful bastards! If I'm going down, you're all coming to fuckin' hell with me! SCORCHED FUCKIN' EARTH BITCHES!"
  
  You start shooting the GZS central computer, lighting starts flickering and eventually you hit the right vital spot and the entire shelter's power goes dead. Immediately you hear some shouting from behind the door, and they begin blasting it open. Won't be long now.
  
  You fire at the first figure that you can barely make out in the darkness, then the rest open fire on you. You see the flash of multiple muzzle blasts and then fall to the ground near Nina's body.
  
  In your last moments, you grab onto Nina's hand and squeeze before darkness takes you.
