Katherine continued along her way besides the mountain, the radio fading in and out at times as the signal got weaker and stronger. Eventually, the song stopped, followed by a sultry woman's voice, "Oooh, I jus' never get tired of hearing her voice." She said in plain english, "To any you gals listening here who still have boys on the mainland fightin' the good fight, that one was for you."<br/><br/>"You're listening to People's Republic Radio!" The woman proudly proclaimed, followed by the distinctive sound of a cork popping and a bottle foaming, "You know what, comrades? I'm feeling<em>romantic</em>today." There was a few moments' pause as it sounded like she poured into a glass, followed by a few moment's pause and the glass hitting the table, "You got a drink? Let's have a toast." She poured herself a second drink, "To love."<br/><br/>A few moments later, another song came on. (http://youtu.be/cVTUunPlERg) The tunes kept her busy and she headed towards the coordinates in her PipBoy. Up above, the clouds seemed to have retreated into the distance, a bright ray of sunlight warming her exposed skin. It was almost a relaxing walk, now with the freedom to go anywhere and everywhere and see some place new, totally unlike her experience in the secretless Vault.<br/><br/>Finally, she found herself looking at some remnants of civilization as she came to the crest of a ridge overlooking an abandoned parking lot full of long abandoned vehicles. She had read about these automobiles which allowed people to travel long distance. Most used precious gasoline to function and fusion power was still in a burgeoning existence when the war broke out. The lot lead to a road in the distance, a few more trees beyond that. Nearby, she saw the entrance to what looked like a tunnel, a paved path from the parking lot leading directly into it. A quick check of her map would reveal that this was roughly the location of Vault 9's main entrance.
