* Chris Avellone becomes the mayor of Springfield.Chris Avellone: "People of Springfield. You've all known me as Mayor Avellone for two years now and as Chris Avellone for many years before that. I've always been proud serving this town and all its people - and that's a fact. But I won't stand for this worthless hate violence, not as a mayor, and certainly, not as a man.We shouldn't hate the ghouls for being what they are. They can't help it if they were mutated into hideous looking monsters. Remember, that inside that monster, under the rotting flesh, the flaking skin, and the misshapen features is a second-class citizen.These good people delouse our cesspools, clean our grease-pits, and work the slaughterhouse. That's honest, hard work. So don't hate them for being insidiously ugly. Instead of attacking them, be kind. Instead of calling a ghoul ugly, tell it how fine it looks. I know you may not want to pat a ghoul on the back and that's OK. Just don't burn its house down...And now here's a new bill I would like to present to you. It's called the Bill of Monster Rights. Under this bill, there will be no violence against a ghoul...unless the ghoul started it. And from now on, a ghoul is entitled to payment equal to, or greater than, half that of a pure bred human. And lastly, no more will "taking a dump" be referred to as "pinching the ghoul," "making ghoul babies" or "dropping off the ghoul at the pool."I know we can live together in harmony. I just know it. Thank you."(Chris Avellone)
* January 4: Latham's airship crashes near Osceolla.Journal of Sir Latham: "Journal of Sir Latham, Entry 10.1.4.
We have crash landed north of a camp occupied by Super Mutants. We believe
these to be remnants of the Master's army as encountered by the first Vault Dweller. Although the archives mentioned that some of these Super Mutants might actually be friendly, we found little to like about these ones, especially the chief.''
The leader of this camp went by the name of Gammorin. We were set upon by his patrols soon after we pulled ourselves from the wreckage. Bound and gagged, the mutant guards dragged us back to their camp. Fully half of us had been killed by the crash, and now less than half of that survived the treatment of our mutant captors.
We were scheduled to be killed for the amusement of Gammorin. It was not hard to see that several of the Super-Mutants were unhappy with this. In fact, I was amazed to discover that they were not as savage as I had been previously lead to believe.
I challenged Gammorin to single unarmed combat. It was to the death. There could be no other outcome in my mind. If I die, it will in combat."
Note: Later entries date this one as happening two years before the game's events take place, ie. 2197 - 2 years.
*January 5: Latham takes leadership of Gammorin's Army.Journal of Sir Latham: "Journal of Sir Latham, Entry 0.0.1.I am awake.To tell the truth, I remember little of the battle. The gash on my head, along with multiple fractures and breaks, paint an adequate picture. However, the mutants are now expecting me to lead them since I laid Gammorin to rest. I will record more later. I fear my brain has been set awry by the fight. I will try to rest until I can think clearly." As their new leader, he discovers that the super mutants are a simple, good people, with a loyalty stronger than that shown by regular humans. With the help of other crash survivors, he reorganizes the mutant group into a fighting force. However, he begins to notice symptoms of brain damage sustained in the duel, specifically, allucinations and bouts of angers and depression.Journal of Sir Latham: "Journal of Sir Latham, Entry 0.5.8.The Super Mutants are a simple but good people. While considered stupid by many, they show a loyalty stronger than I have seen in many humans. They live life the only way they know how.I have begun to organize these Mutant forces with the handful of fellow humans who survived the crash. I have recovered physically but I find myself prone to mysterious fits of anger and depression. But much worse are the hallucinations."
==2196==
* April 9: Gammorin's forces inadvertedly wake up the Calculator, nearly leading to a holocaust of epic proportions.Journal of Sir Latham: "Journal of Sir Latham, Entry 1.4.5.Today is a day filled with absolute horror.Only one mutant returned from a scouting trip that was ten soldiers strong. He staggered back to camp and collapsed without a sound. He died in my arms while trying to hold back the blood pouring from his mouth.Before I had a chance to close his eyes, the menace was upon us! Metallic death machines entered the camp undetected by my sentries! I have never seen creatures such as this before, but they seemed unstoppable. It was only the sheer power and, more importantly, our numbers that allowed us to defeat these three machinations of death.Our losses were staggering."
==2197==
* January 1, 06:29: Fallout Tactics begins - A Brotherhood of Steel squad, led by the Warrior, is sent to free the village of Brahmin Wood of raiders.The PIP-Boy 2000 B.E. date for the Brahmin Wood mission in Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel.
* April 6: Brotherhood forces clash with Gammorin's Army. Latham abandons the Brotherhood cause entirely.Journal of Sir Latham: "Journal of Sir Latham, Entry 2.4.2.
My scouts engaged an enemy today. The sound of chain guns and explosions hasting my steps. What I observed in that fight changed me to the core of my being.
My mutant scouts were engaged by a Brotherhood patrol. For the first time in my life, I was frozen in battle.
I watched, curious even, tribal looking Brotherhood soldiers laughing manically as they cut down my new companions.
My mutant companions, who dedicated their life to me as their leader. I lifted my weapon then, and fired again and again.
When it was over, with Brotherhood corpses littering the ground, my head suddenly cleared. I now know my purpose and, more importantly, I finally know who I am.
I am Gammorin - sworn enemy of the Menace from the West."
