Section I. Welcome to FOnline: 2238

GENERAL

The small indie development group, ÐRotatorsÑ, supported by the main

developer of FOnline, A. Tsvetinskiy ÐCvetÑ, are proud to present FOnline:

2238, the new massively multiplayer game, free of charge, based on the

famous award-winning CRPG titles Fallout and Fallout2.

Bringing the single player experience into a massively

multiplayer game is not an easy task. Merging the existing

features with new ones in order to provide as much game

experience as possible, the young developers aimed for the

recreation of the Fallout world as we knew it back in the late

'90s, keeping the emphasis on the alternative, unique universe

and its settings. The game will remind you of Fallout 1 & 2

everywhere you go - the places, the people, the common history

and the events that shook the world and keep it trembling.

Humanity, or at least what is left of it, has no time for a break.

Faced with constant challenges, surviving in the harsh post-

apocalyptic, post-nuclear, barren world, struggling for an

uncertain tomorrow, the humans, ghouls and mutants are

organizing themselves to push it through. To make it. To stay

alive. Each group, each place, each organization with its own

agenda, with its own ideology, fighting for their place under the scorching Sun. What they

believe may be right or wrong... Who are we to judge, while striving for the same old

necessity Î survival?

The game adds several unique features regarding the players and their interactions, be it

with other players, their respective groups or NPCs. First of all, there are groups: factions,

gangs - call them whatever you like, which determine the fate of the world. Some of them

are more powerful than others, some are cunning and treacherous, some even hideous. But

they are there, conflicting with each other, or aligning with the policies of the greater

powers - those who have technological advances, political power, are just plain bigger, or

any other advantages over them. Choose your way: join your favorite group and spread

their agenda throughout the wasteland. Decide for yourself how to handle the resistance -

with good will or stubbornness. Respect the authorities or lead a revolution to throw them

off the throne - it is your world, you decide.

If you don't feel like belonging to a group and have your own ideology, then you can take

one of the numerous paths the wasteland offers. Some of them are: bounty hunting,

brahmin trading, crafting, exploring and trading in general. The brand new system of

professions allows you to polish up your skills and learn things you will rarely find in

books, giving you a certain advantage over other players. Scavenging, gathering resources

and useful items will be an inevitable part of your FOnline: 2238 life. Crafting something

useful out of the gathered junk or selling it directly to your favorite vendor are just a small

part of the great possibilities this game offers you. And of course, you can just take them off

someone else, simply by brutally killing him/her or using more exquisite methods, like

stealing. The choice is yours - and so are the consequences.

IMPORTANT NOTES

FOnline: 2238 is still in its early development stage and is going to stay, most likely, in this

stage for the next few months. Keep in mind that some features are still not included into

the game. However, we are working hard in our free time to give you the best FOnline

experience you and all other players can get.

Due to the fact that the game is currently in its early alpha stage (remember, the

engine development has progressed much further and the engine itself can be considered

almost fully functional), it is necessary to test the numerous features and additions. Taking

this into account, the decision to organize another open beta test has been made, and the

date is today, the August 15th, 2009. We are looking forward to seeing you in the game and

hearing your impressions of our creation so far.

2238

Desert. Sand as far as the eye can see. The wind is blowing through your hair, a

hot chick is sitting by your side and nothing else than freedom in front of the windscreen.

Even the life on a wasted planet has sometimes its good times. The fact, that Cal is

turning me on now with this versatile expression in her eyes and let her fingers dance

upon my crotch, shows me, that she is thinking something equal at the moment. Ay yo,

my name is Tobey by the way. Tobey Scott Monroe and this beautiful piece of sex appeal

besides me is called Cal Johannson. A razor-sharp girl! She told me once, that she has

Scandinavian ancestors, but fuckÈ wherever this Scandinavia Î or however this place

was called Î should have been, now it is surely nothing more than a big, fat hole of

radiation somewhere in the ground. But you know what?

I donÓt care at allÈ and neither does she.

But to start at the beginning: everything began in this bar, with this strange name,

ÐJumpers GoÑÈ No worries, I wouldnÓt bother you with pulpy details. LetÓs go a little

further on and just say that both of us were really randy about each other and È uhm È

now we are here. Two ass-kicking go-getters on the hunt for some A-C-T-I-O-N. The hot-

rod, which weÓre using for the trip is my pride and joy! A fully functional Kaiser M71.

Damn, rides are rare as pure water these days, but sometimes you gotta have some luck,

donÓt cha? IÓve got this jewel from my dad. He repaired and pimped it himself. With this

rod you can score some pussy, man, I tell yaÈ! UhmÈ WhateverÈ Where did I stop? Ah,

yes, IÈ

ÐHey, Tobey!Ñ Words are breaking the red thread in TobeyÓs inner monologue. The crazy

but quite good looking Twen wrinkles his brow as he notices, that his new chick has

stopped jerking off his meat. ÐWhatÓs going on, babe? Why did you stop? I was aboutÈÑ -

ÐIn the rear mirror!Ñ stops the slender blonde in the white tank top his budding flow of

words and Tobey looks in the mirror.

Dust. All he could see was dust. A churned up cloud, almost near the horizon. ÐA little

sandstorm?Ñ guesses the young man with the brown, slight curly hair and shrugs his

shoulders. ÐWhat about it?Ñ Cal doesnÓt even notice it all. ÐIs the machine gun in order?Ñ

she asks hasty. ÐWhy?Ñ - ÐDoes it work?Ñ - ÐYeah, goddamit, but what theÈÑ - ÐShut up and

let her rip, ok? Full speed!Ñ She stands up and climbs skillfully onto the bed of the robust

Jeep, where a large-caliber Browning M2 is mounted. ÐHey!Ñ her lover protests ÐWhatÓs the

matter with you? How are you talking to me? Sit down, orÈÑ - ÐThese are Wheelers, you

1-2

GIFO - GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - VTB-001-00-A

dumbass! Now put your goddamn foot on the pedal!Ñ TobeyÓs expression freezes for a

moment. ÐWheelers? HERE?Ñ Without another word he drives with the pedal to the metal.

The heavy vehicle plows through the rough terrain. ItÓs rattling and tugging on all parts,

while Cal inserts a feeder of .50.ammunition with practiced movements into the heavy

machine gun, and charges it loud and noisy. Harassed Tobey looks again and again in the

mirror. The cloud gets nearer and nearer to them. ÐFaster!Ñ Cal shouts at him. ÐWe cannot

go faster, goddamit!Ñ he cries back to her in panic and glances over his shoulder, because it

seems he doesnÓt want to believe the reflection in the mirror. He can see his girlfriend

standing at the machine gun. The shoulder-length hair is bathed in a red gleam by the

evening sun and flutters in the raging headwind like a flickering flame. Then the Jeep

crushes onto a rock and the car gets serious damage. Tobey is hardly managing wheel and

looks forward. Cal almost falls from the loading area but regains the position. Only a few

seconds later the machine gun begins to rattle on in a muffled sound, as the first bikes

leave the formation and hunt their prey. But the first two of them are devastated in their

saddles. Cal swings the barrel of the weapon from one side to another and covers the

pursuers with a wide hail of bullets, keeping them in distance. Tobey looks in the rear

mirror again and is able to see the first Wheelers falling down and a few followers while

crushing into them. For a second the mixture of euphoria and adrenalin let his courage and

his ego grow. ÐWoohoo! Fuck off, you suckers! You wonÓt get us!Ñ

Then a bang Î so loud, that everything else drowns out. Tobey flinches. He shortly glances

over his shoulder, as he hears the machine gun hushing and sees Cal collapsing. Velocity

and centrifugal force are knocking her down and she crushes onto the enclosing of the

loading space, which protects her from leaving the car involuntarily. Her lovers eyes widen,

the short lucky moment elapses. His head shoots forward. He gets everything out of the

car, but he has no chance against the light motorbikes of his enemies. Quickly heÓs flanked

on both sides. Flashy painted helmets are laughing at him faceless, as he risks a look

through the windows of the side door. The gangsters? sharing the one seat of their fast bike

Î the one in the front drives, the one behind him aims. Tobey looks in the dark barrel of a

Magnum .44, but with bare teeth he is raging the wheel, pulls it risky to the left and sweeps

both of the attackers from their bike. The car goes into a skid, falls almost head over heels,

while the other man on the second machine starts to fire from the right side.

With great difficulty Tobey regains control of his vehicle, but with panic he notices a

pickup heading fast for his car. Through a hole in the top of the car he can see the scope of

a gun flashing and it becomes clear, what was hitting his girl and that the bikes are only a

vanguard. Desperate he tries to hold the car steady on course and at the same time

avoiding the attacks from the right side. After a swerve he stares into the mirror, when Cal

unexpectedly struggles herself in the scene. One side dipped in dark red, she pulls herself

on the feet with the help of the Browning and seconds later the machine gun rattles deadly

again. With a another swing to the side Tobey forces the annoying second bike into defense

for the moment, but behind the pickup there are more and more vehicles getting in sightÈ

Short story ÐJoyrideÑ, written by Cerebro

Thank you.
