Eight years ago, before the events of Schaffe Fallout began before Schaffe Deathclaw met Jess.
Schaffe was walking through the city of Albany, NY seeing the damage the bomb and what it has done to the city. He was wearing his Vault-tec vault suit from Vault seventy-nine. which was a light blue with black boots and a rifle he found in the vault. He was sneaking around after seeing multiple things he was not used to crazy people who become bandits, strange creatures, and other things.
"Man, what a weird day to wake up from a long sleep," said Schaffe. He looks around a corner and finds an old comic shop he used to go to while living around the area. He enters it and locks the door behind him.
"Well at least they're free reading now," said Schaffe. Schaffe then heads to the back of the shop where he sees an old couch. He sits down to rest for a bit to think of what to do. He gets relaxed and falls asleep. He would sleep for a while at least till it got dark out. He awakes and sees it is night.
"Shit, I must have passed out," said Schaffe waking from his slumber with a yawn. He gets up and sees a fridge.
"Should I even give it a shot?" questioned Schaffe as he goes and opens it. He sees just rotten food and drinks. He closes it and sits back down.
"Where the hell do I go? There must be a sane person at least around here," said Schaffe. Schaffe gets up grabs his rifle and heads out the door. He sneaks around till he hears foot's steps behind he goes for a quick look but gets knocked by getting hit with a butt of a gun.
Schaffe wakes up the next morning in a cage somewhere he sees super mutants have captured him.
"So, this how I'm going to die lunch to these freaks just hopefully they don't eat alive," said Schaffe giving up. Schaffe then looks around and has a nail file near his cage. he grabs it with his right-hand stashes it in his suit waits for the super mutants to look and starts to file the cage walls to weaken them so he can be free. Schaffe manages to get through and sneaks off before they notice he is gone.
Schaffe sneakily walks down the street until he sees a man and a super mutant. The Man was covered up in a strange get-up of random clothing from head to toe.
"Human, get back to work," said The Super Mutant.
"Sorry, but I'm no slave," said the Man. He aims his handgun up at the mutant on his left. But He knocks it out of the man's hand and it is knocked over by Schaffe.
"Nice try," said The Super Mutant.
"Ah, fuck me," said The Man. The Super Mutant gets ready to slam his right fist down but before he does Schaffe shoots him with the handgun in his hands in the head and he falls over and dies. The Man looks and sees Schaffe.
"Well, a Vault Dweller," said The Man, Schaffe tossed the man's gun to him. Which confused The Man.
"Take it. We need to move before those freaks find out," said Schaffe.
"Very Well, but that was a rookie move giving back a weapon to a man who possibly could be your enemy," said The Man. They leave the area before the Super Mutants come for them.
They reached an area in Albany, where it was safe from mutants.
"We should be safe here," said The Man. "This a safe area for some people."
"Alright," said Schaffe.
"Hey, man how long have you been out of the vault?" asked The Man.
"I say maybe almost a whole day," said Schaffe.
"Shit, your first day out of the Vault and seeing this shit, well I cannot say anything. I would be having rough it too," said The Man. "well, I should get going, I was only looking for robot parts."
"I see, I did work at Robo Company, but They probably have nothing anymore," said Schaffe.
"Wait? You were an employee of Robo Company?" asked The Man, who seemed intrigued.
"Ah, yeah, I was going to be a programmer for Video Games, but I did not get the time to start," said Schaffe.
"That is even better, I have a hobby of making robots. But I suck at programming them I think I may have found something worth out there," said The Man. He takes off his mask revealing his face. He had light-colored skin, light blue eyes, and black scraggly hair. "I am Phil from Rhode Island."
"I am Schaffe," said Schaffe
"Unique name now," said Phil,
"My father's father from Germany," said Schaffe.
"Well, let's head back to my place, I have a spare room and food," said Phil. This was the beginning of Schaffe and Phil's friendship before it ended in tragedy.
