  Summary

  Cole never expected to be caught up in a sudden radstorm, a teleporter, and an encounter of the "up close and personal" kind with the Institute's FEV Research Program.
  The Institute hadn't expected to capture a test subject in the earliest stages of ghoulification.
  And with no new data found in the decade prior, the scientists didn't pay that much attention to their lab rats.

  It's spring 2285, and Cole has an axe to grind... if the Wasteland doesn't kill him first.
