Ed, Edd n Eddy Fallout: Saviors of the Wastes is an Ed, Edd n Eddy fanfic by Evil Tim 17 set in the Fallout Universe in a post-apocalyptic future after a world wide nuclear war. After a joint invasion of the United States by Russia and Japan the world sat on the brink of nuclear annihilation. During this time the kids of the Cul-de-Sac including their parents fled to the shelter of the nearby Vault 117. The world was eventually destroyed when the countries of the earth dropped a barrage of nuclear bombs onto one another. After years of living underground the kids become older and are now withing the age ranges of 17-20 years. Most of them have found that vault life is unsettling and are desperate to escape. Little did they know that they would become mankind's salvation.
After a long hiatus after Chapter 12 Evil Tim 17 stated he would return to Fanfiction.net and finish the story.
Many will notice that this story is extremely similar to the another Ed, Edd n Eddy/Fallout story Desolation Ed. Rest assure that all similarities between the two are pure coincidence though some elements in the stories may have been inspired by one another. Authors Evil Tim 17 and Jspyster1 are not trying to one-up each other nor are they intentionally trying to steal each other's ideas. The two are actually friends who wish to spread the greatness of Fallout to the Ed, Edd n Eddy fanfic community.
Prologue[]
War… war never changes.
The day that the first bombs fell and the dreaded war began marked the inevitable end of humanity. The Russians invaded the United States in a joint effort with the Japanese who invaded Alaska. Europe fell into chaos as World War Three broke out. It quickly began to revert back to its barbaric Dark Age past of violence and the constant struggle for power. The world was in chaos but luckily none of the countries had gotten desperate enough to use nuclear weapons… yet. Russia was the first and its victim was America after an incident where the Americans (in a desperate attempt to force the Russians into an early submission) killed hundreds of thousands of Russian civilians after bombing several major cities. As the world consumed itself in atomic fire as rival there was a quiet little town named Peach Creek where twelve kids and their parents stood by and watched as their world crumbled around them. Luckily they were able to escape and fled to the nearby Vault 117 for safety; a Vault that was never supposed to be constructed. Peach Creek and the surrounding towns had very little influence or importance but with the help of local contractor and several hundred thousand dollars Vault 117 was built. It is in Vault 117 where the twelve children would mature and emerge someday as young adults. Learning from the past mistakes of humanity they would help in forging a new beginning for mankind. They alone may hold the key to the survival of humanity or its downfall. They would all soon learn that without great sacrifice nothing can be accomplished.
As the ashes of the Third World War slowly settled to the Earth's charred surface and the fighting had completely ceased, the survivors of the human race began to return to the Earth's new, quiet, charred, wasteland like surface after being shut up inside metal underground Vaults for years. However, Vault 117 did not allow its inhabitants to return to the now hostile and rough Wasteland above, but instead kept them in the Vault where their Overseer believed they would all be safe. The now young adults of Peach Creek though would soon find themselves thrown out of the comfort zone of their quiet, metal haven and would now be forced to face the hardened above ground that is now Earth. Their journey will be a tough one, filled with death, sorrow, violence, but hope; a hope that maybe humanity can make up for all of its past sins. That maybe humanity could forge a new future, one without wars and violence against one another. A future worth fighting for, no matter what the cost…

Bio: Ed, he hadn't changed much at all over the years. He still loves chickens, despite the fact that they were most likely all dead but Edd and Eddy decided it would be best not to tell him that just yet. He still adores all of his odd food interests; gravy, pudding skins, and of course buttered toast, though the Vault doesn't exactly have a large supply of pudding skins. Unfortunately, Ed's intellect is still of that of a five year old who suffers from multiple mental disorders but he occasionally does have random spurts of intelligence which always seem to come about in only the direst of situations. His strength also has increased tremendously and his features have hardly changed over the years besides that he looks a bit more like a man than a young boy. He still faintly has his freckles and a few pimples, though his back acne has cleared up completely, much to everyone's relief. He has grown even taller, putting him around six' seven". Ed did however change his hairstyle to the Marines style haircut, which effectively makes him look like an extremely buff, redheaded Marine but he's still very lovable despite his somewhat intimidating appearance. Ed still has his unibrow and has sage green eyes.
Eddward “Edd” Marian Williams[]
Age: 18
Height: Five’ Ten”
Eye Color: Dark Blue
Hair Color/Style: Wears his black sock hat but has some black strands that hang out the back
Strength: Very weak but slightly stronger, not very athletic, not a good fighter, skinny
Intelligence: Most intelligent out of the group and has good medical, mechanical, math, construction and electrical skills
Facial/Physical Features: Pale skin, broad round nose, a few hairs on his chin, gap between his teeth is still there, better defined adult facial features

Bio: Edd hadn't changed too much over time; his now more defined adult facial features replaced the boyish looks of his childhood years. He has a broad nose much like his father, pale skin, dark blue eyes; he struggled to grow facial hair but was proud of the few hairs that had begun to sprout on his chin. He still sported his black sock-like hat, which covered his hair, save a few black strands that hung out of the back. He also still has the gap between his front teeth, since due to the war his parents never got around to getting him braces. Edd has also grown slightly taller and is now five' ten" but he is still rather weak physically but what he lacks in strength he makes up for with his intellect.
In Edd's opinion, the only good thing that came out of the whole thing was the fact that now he could actually spend more time with his parents. Prior to the war and the move to the Vault, Edd's parents both worked for a huge business that gave them extremely high paying jobs but that required them to work long hours and go on regular business trips. Edd spent most of his early childhood alone and sad. He was forced to fend for himself and answer to every sticky note that his parents left for him. Edd loved his parents and understood that they were only doing what they thought was best. He did anything that his parents asked of him whether that be to mow the lawn, take out the trash, clean the dishes, excel in school, and strive to get a well-paying and successful career and those were only a few things. Unfortunately, his parents didn't realize that they were hurting their son a lot more than what he showed.
Edd even at the young age of ten knew what it meant to be depressed. He even at times contemplated hurting himself but his friends were always there to cheer him up when he was feeling down. Another good thing was that at least they had survived, unlike millions of others who had perished in the bombings…
His father works as a security guard for the vault.
Eddy Skipper Jackson[]
Age: 18

Bio: Eddy has changed the most out of the three Eds both physically and mentally. He grew more hair and now has his jet black hair spiked up which seems brings out his angry, dark brown eyes. He is still rather short for his age but has grown a few inches over the years putting him at five' six". He has grown paler, like most everyone else in the Vault has from the lack of sunlight for several years. Eddy did however get stronger and also became a better fighter and can even at times hold off Kevin on his own. Unfortunately, over the years Eddy's attitude towards people and life has turned bitter and cold. He no longer scams people and gave it up when he was twelve. After his brother got beat up and when the Eds had befriended the kids his life had turned around completely and life was good for everyone. But, once the war spread and the bombs fell, forcing them to take cover inside of the Vault things turned sour.
When it came time to retreat to Vault 117 Eddy's parents and Kevin's parents hadn't signed up yet. There were only five spots left and Eddy's family beat Kevin's family to the spots first. Kevin's dad was and had always been a drunk as well as a very cruel man. Being the selfish and drunken man that he was, he secured both he and his son a spot in the Vault, leaving Kevin's mom as well as the one person in Kevin's life that protected him from the wrath of his father. Kevin was devastated by the news and became angry at his father for abandoning his mom and was also angry at Eddy for his family taking up three of the last five spots. Eddy and Kevin had become close friends after the events of BPS and even though Eddy apologized time after time, Kevin never forgave him. They often got into fights forcing the Vault guards to have to break them up. This continued for several years until Eddy's father succumbed to cancer and died just a few months ago. Eddy was devastated and it only got worse when Kevin made a remark at the funeral, "You had that one coming, asshole…" and walked away.
Eddy didn't retaliate; he just simply walked back to his home and wept bitterly, swearing he would get Kevin back for everything he had done to him. He never really was the same after that and cursed, was often in a bad mood, snuck a drink here and there, and simply just wanted to be left alone.

Bio: Kevin had certainly changed over the years, if not more than anyone else. Things were going well; Nazz was his girlfriend, Kevin was the star of both the football and basketball teams, scouts were already talking about him even though he was just thirteen at the time. By the time he would reach his senior year he had no doubt that he would be offered an athletic scholarship to the college of his choice. He had a promising future. But once his mom died and he had to retreat to the Vault with his abusive father due to the war, things just went downhill from there. Nazz broke up with him after he tried to get her to sleep with him, with the end of the world his sports career ended, college didn't matter anymore and to top it all off Kevin's father was still abusive and during his drunken rampages would often beat him mercilessly. Kevin even started to follow his father's footsteps in that he took up the bottle himself. Most everyone pitied him but Eddy hated him.

Bio Nazz had changed some but not a lot over the time skip. Besides filling in with perfect feminine curves and growing out her blonde hair, she hadn't changed too much physically. She has however been through a lot with Kevin. They started dating a year before the bombs dropped but broke up after Kevin tried to get her to sleep with him two years later. She was heartbroken to have to end it but knew it was for the best. He had also been slightly abusive at times but since she has some defensive skills, she normally was able to get out of those situations. Nazz also has learned to accept the Eds as much as is humanly possible. She also got past her ditzy blonde stage and is now the second most intelligent teen out of the group.
Jonathan “Jonny” Allen Oaks[]

-Armor: Leather Armor Mark I
Bio: Jonny hadn't changed too much over the years; in fact it would be easy to say that hadn't at all. He did however grow taller putting him around six' two" and grew out his hair into a small afro. His personality has pretty much stayed the same, he is still quite the loner, gets on people's nerves, and even though there isn't any nature in the Vault Jonny managed to grab a few seeds from the surface before going into the Vault and has actually managed to start growing something. Jonny did however earn some cool points back in high school when he tried out for the football team and had proved to be an excellent running back and because of the training he got a lot stronger and tougher. He still carries around Plank who by now is starting to get a bit worn out but Jonny doesn't care and still talks to him anyways.
Rolf Hans Hzorst[]

Bio: Rolf had changed both physically and mentally over the years. Rolf had always been the farmer boy who was full of random wisdom and extremely bizarre customs. And while he is still full of wisdom from his Old Country and still has strange customs, he lost his farm and animals. Rolf was heartbroken after losing all that he and his family had worked for but he was able to press on and found that he was good at lots of things other than agricultural work. His intelligence concerning technology has increased by a lot and he currently works as an engineer in the Vault. He found that he could not only fix farming equipment but machinery as well. Besides mental changes, he has also gotten a lot stronger, making him the strongest out of the bunch. He also grew out his blue hair which now comes to his shoulders and grew a rough blue beard to go with it. He also grew a bit taller but only a few inches so he was still the tallest as well at six' nine". Rolf has actually learned to respect and tolerates the Eds more than most of the other kids and at times has saved them from a pummeling but if angered by them he doesn't have a problem with beating them senseless.
Sarah Ann Zanovich[]
Age: 16
Height: Five’ Five”
Eye Color: Olive Green
Hair Color/Style: Long, silky, orange hair, often just wears it down
Strength: She is a decent fighter and still strong but nowhere near as strong as most of the guys

Weight: Light
Strength: 6
Perception: 6

-Melee: Spiked Knuckles
-Armor: Rolf’s Custom Armor, Reinforced Pants, White Shirt, Boots
Bio: Sarah still had an attitude problem but it has improved slightly, much to Ed's relief but it still doesn't take much to set her off. She has however developed a lot, especially with her new feminine curves and long, silky, orange hair, which fits perfectly with her olive green eyes. A lot of the other men in the Vault always give her looks but she usually ignores them. She has grown in height as well, making her about five' five". While her temperament has changed only a bit, Sarah's social standing has certainly increased by a lot after she and Jimmy both started to exclusively hang out with Nazz, Kevin, and Rolf. Nazz and Sarah soon became close friends which meant for Jimmy that his childhood friend wasn't around at times, much to his despair.
James “Jimmy” O’Neil Martin[]
Age: 16
Height: Five’ Eight”
Eye Color: Light blue
Hair Color/Style: Curly, light blonde
Facial/Physical Features: Pale Skin, small, round nose, no facial hair, very boyish looks
Weight: Light
Strength: 4
Perception: 5

Agility: 7
Luck: 4
Tagged Skills: Small Guns, Speech, Sneak
Traits/Perks: Small Frame, Jinxed
Current Weapons/Armor:
-Ranged: None
-Melee: None
-Armor: None
Bio: Jimmy had changed some physically over the years but his biggest change has been that now he was even wimpier and was more easily frightened by even the smallest of things. He does however still continue to keep his hair the way that it has always been since as he has often said that it helps to bring out his light blue eyes. He has also grown a little bit taller putting him at around five' eight" but he is still very skinny and fragile, making him the weakest out of everybody. Jimmy had always been paranoid about things but after the war and all of the mayhem that it caused it doesn't take much to make Jimmy want to cower in a corner and cry out for help. He's still friends with Sarah and they've become even closer over the years but everyone else (besides Nazz and Sarah) frightens him to some degree. His is killed in Chapter 6 after a gang of raiders ambush him in the junkyard.
Leah “Lee” Alice Kanker[]
Age: 19
Height: Five’ Nine”
Eye Color: Hazel
Hair Color/Style: Long, red, wears it down usually
Facial/Physical Features: Pale Skin, pointy nose, slightly rough facial features, nasty teeth, still lacking in beauty to some degree
Weight: Average
Strength: 7
Perception: 5
Endurance: 6
Charisma: 3

Tagged Skills: Small Guns, Unarmed, Melee Weapons
Traits/Perks: Heavy Handed, One Hander
Current Weapons/Armor:
-Ranged: 10mm Pistol
-Melee: Nail Bat
-Armor: Merc Cruiser Outfit
Bio: Lee's main physical change was that she finally decided to straighten her red hair which now showed off her hazel eyes. She was slightly more attractive but not enough for Eddy to want to have anything to do with her. She had also changed in the fact that she and her sisters had given up on trying to chase the Eds and rather, tried to make friends with them. However, it didn't work quite as well as they had hoped, even though they did gain some respect among their peers in the process. Lee still loves Eddy even though he is mean to her; because she knows deep down he's a good guy. Lee, while gaining some respect, is still hated by the majority of the kids and tolerated by others. She tries to be nice but she can still be temperamental and destructive at times when she gets angry. It is because of this that she became such a good street fighter and why none of the guys would dare arouse her anger.
Marie Anita Kanker[]
Age: 18
Height: Five’ Seven”
Eye Color: Green
Hair Color/Style: Blue, goes to about the middle of her back, wears it down most of the time
Facial/Physical Features: Pale skin, toned, rounded nose, more mature than her age, scars on her wrists, looks more mature for her age, multiple ear piercings, belly button piercing

Traits/Perks: Small Frame, Finesse
Current Weapons/Armor:
-Ranged: H&K MP5A4, Beretta 92FS
-Melee: Serrated Blade
-Armor: Leather Armor Mark I
Bio: Marie had changed physically since now she has a belly button piercing; several ear piercings, filled out more, and she let her blue hair grow down to the middle of her back. She was also the first out of the trio to give up on chasing around the Eds. It was a year before her sisters stopped chasing the Eds that she decided to try and win over Edd in a more normal manner, rather than to force him to like her. While she did not have a lot of success she did gain respect among not only the Eds but also the rest of the kids. For a time she did cut herself when she realized that Edd didn't like her and probably never would. She was able to overcome her problems though. She still longs for Edd's love but sticks to just trying to become his friend first. She is arguable the most mature among her sisters and also she picked up playing the acoustic guitar which has not only helped her but the others as well when days in the Vault become monotonous.
May Lauren Kanker[]
Age: 17
Height: Five’ Four”
Eye Color: Blue

-Armor: Merc Troublemaker Outfit
Bio: May had definitely matured the least since she is the youngest out of the bunch. She still has buck teeth and long blonde hair, and her looks haven't changed much either. May and Marie have bonded a lot as well, since Lee tended to be mean, bossy, and a pain to be around at times. May also has a higher standing among her peers over Lee, most of the thanks however go to Marie since she was the one who showed that she wasn't too bad after all (not to say Marie didn't try to help Lee but had little luck). She still loves Ed even though he is still deathly afraid of girls but has given up on chasing him and has decided to just wait for him to talk to her. One skill that May has picked up over the last couple of years is the art of picking locks. After years of practice there isn't a lock out there that she can't pick.
Major Characters[]
Edd's Parents - Mr. and Mrs. Williams have both accompanied Edd into the safety of Vault 117. In the past they used to work for a huge business that gave them high paying jobs. Unfortunately they were always away on business trips, leaving Edd to care for himself most of the time. Ever since they've entered the vault they have been able to spend more time with Edd. Edd's unnamed father works as a vault security officer while it is unknown what his mother Julie does.
At some point before the events of the story Edd's father was specially chosen by the Overseer for the job of scouting the wasteland for the purpose of finding evidence that the outside world was too dangerous. During his travels met John Barlow and the two became friends. John eventually gave him a map of the wasteland of which Edd's father passes down to his son in Chapter 4. Edd's father meets his demise at the hands of the Overseer when, during an escape attempt, he is shot in the chest and slowly bleeds to death.
The Overseer - The unnamed Overseer acts as the leader of Vault 117. The Overseer was originally the Mayor of Lemon Brook but was then offered the position of Overseer due to the fact Lemon Brook donated the most money to Vault 117's construction. He is described as standing around six' three", having a hawk-like nose, short dirty blonde hair, a well-trimmed goatee, blue eyes, and an aura of power irradiating from his presence. The Overseer, while he doesn't necessarily rule the entire vault with an iron fist, is a strict man with an extremely short temper who has zero tolerance for disorderly conduct, even so much as threatening death by firing-line as a punishment for a simple fist-fight. Despite his harshness his primary objective is to ensure the safety, order, and prosperity of the vault. Before the events of the story he sent out Edd's Father to scout the wasteland in search of anything that may convince the vault citizens that the wasteland was a dangerous place, thus preventing them from getting any ideas about leaving the vault and thus maintaining order in Vault 117. During the story, after order in the vault is destroyed by the kids' escape attempt, the Overseer shoots Edd's Father in the chest, during a fit of rage, eventually killing him. Edd retaliates by shooting the Overseer in the neck causing an instantaneous, albeit grisly, death.
Alloy - Alloy is the cyborg leader of Square Bot City. According to the locals he was an ex-Marine whose body was nearly obliterated by an explosion. Doctors performed a miraculous surgery on the man which replaced many of his limbs and even some of his internal organs with mechanical parts. The most unique of his new enhancements was his cybernetic eye, which had a built in targeting system, could read vitality signs, and see in infrared. Alloy's voice box was also damaged so he can only speak with the help of a aid that makes his voice sound robotic. Alloy lives in a large, two-story building in Square Bot City that contains a secret underground chamber where he and his associates reside. Alloy appears briefly in Chapter 8 but makes a more significant appearance in Chapter 9. Alloy has heard of, but doesn't necessarily believe in, a prophecy that states that twelve vault dwellers will emerge to bring peace and prosperity to the wasteland. After Alloy sees the kids, dressed in their vault garb, he believes that they are the ones the prophecy had foretold and offers them a proposition. Alloy wishes to bring civilization to the surrounding area in an attempt to make the wasteland a better place. He proposes to the kids that if they help him in colonizing the wastes they will receive shelter, jobs, and a chance to survive. The kids split into two groups because of this proposition. Alloy eventually locates a spot of land for the new colony to be built and dubs it "Colony 117" in honor of the kids. He then offers Edd to be the Governor of the new colony and tasks him with recruiting citizens to move to the new colony.
Minor Characters[]
Eddy's Parents - Eddy's unnamed parents were first mentioned in Chapter 1. Not much is known about them other than Eddy and his parents took up three of the five remaining spots in the vault, forcing Kevin's mom to be left behind while Kevin and his father occupied the last two spaces and thus reigniting Kevin's hatred for Eddy. Later Eddy's father succumbed to cancer and passed away, leaving Eddy to live with his mother. His mother briefly appears in Chapter 3 where she is seen crying on the couch as Eddy is arrested by vault security. In Chapter 6, Eddy searches the drawers in his parents' bedroom and finds his dad's .38 revolver which he states is a good enough inheritance.
Nazz's Parents - Nazz's unnamed parents both appear in Chapter 4 where they act as vault security guards. The two led the final attack on vault security when they stepped into vault door room and managed to kill a few guards. Nazz's dad was shot in the leg but survived.
Kevin's Parents - Kevin's father was an alcoholic man who would frequently abuse Kevin. His mother was the only person who would protect Kevin from his beatings. When the threat of nuclear war came Kevin Father brought Kevin with him to fill the last two spots in the vault, forcing his mother to stay behind and die. Kevin would never forgive his father for this. At the end of Chapter 4 just as the kids were about to exit the vault Kevin's father shows up and drunkenly threatens Kevin to return to the vault. His dad charges at him and Kevin, tired of how his dad had been treating him for all these years, fights back by bludgeoning him with a police baton before finally shooting him in the head with his 10mm pistol, thus avenging his mother's death.
Lyle Villagher - Lyle was a citizen of Square Bot City who was one of the first people to sign up to move to the new colony. He quickly won the affection of Nazz, as the two had so much in common, and soon the two started to date one another, much to the envy of Kevin. Lyle is described as about six feet tall give or take an inch or two, dirty blonde hair, no facial hair, very mature looking for someone of his age, and had some muscle but nowhere near as much as Kevin. During Chapter 12, Kevin invited Lyle to a secluded place where he could offer a fake apology to Lyle for saying negative things about him and Nazz. Little did he know that this meeting was a trap. Kevin's jealousy had taken a deadly turn; as Kevin embraced Lyle he pulled out a revolver and shot him, leaving Lyle to die while he fled into the night.

Locations[]
Major[]
- Vault 117 - Technically, Vault 117 was never intended to be constructed. When the citizens of Peach Creek as well as the neighboring town of Lemon Brook enlisted the help of a local contractor and after pledging several hundred-thousand dollars to the effort Vault 117 had become a reality. Most of the kids of the Cul-de-Sac, including their parents, managed to get a spot in the vault, however Space quickly filled up. Eddy and Kevin's family had not yet applied for a spot in the vault, to their dismay they found that there was only room for five more people. Eddy's family managed to get the first three spots while Kevin's Father forced his mother to stay behind while he and Kevin got the last two spots, thus igniting Kevin's hatred for his father as well as Eddy. Vault 117 is managed and run by an unnamed Overseer. The Overseer was previously the mayor of Lemon Brook but was chosen to oversee Vault 117 because Lemon Brook had donated the most money to the construction effort. The Overseer runs a tight shift around Vault 117 and refuses to permanently open it up, as he believes that so long as the vault remains closed the dwellers will be safely sheltered from the hostilities of the wastes. All citizens of the vault are required to work once they hit their teens in order to maintain and keep the vault in a working condition. The vault offers small yet seemingly spacious, apartments for each family which include a personal restroom, a kitchen, a den, as well as a bedroom.
- Square Bot City - Square Bot City is a prominent settlement in the Peach Creek Wasteland. It was first mentioned in Chapter 4 when Edd's Father gives him a map leading to the town. The kids the spend the next few chapters traveling to the town. It finally appears in the aptly titled Chapter 7. The city was inspired by Junktown from the original Fallout, many of Square Bot City's buildings were constructed from rusted sheet metal, wood, and other materials. The town offers many services, most of which are located in it's Bazaar-like marketplace. There are weapons dealers, medical suppliers, bookstores, supply stores, and even a two-for-one bar and motel. The city is ruled by the cyborg Alloy who keeps the peace with his security force.
- New Peach Creek - Named after the kids' hometown, New Peach Creek is the colony Edd's group built on commission by Alloy. The colony is located roughly 15-20 miles West of Square Bot City. Alloy commissioned the creation of the town and the migration of settlers to help with Square Bot City's growing population problem. Edd was appointed governor of the colony and was in charge of moving the settlers to the new area as well as governing the colony. The settlement was built atop the only hill in the area, as Edd believed it would be easier to defend this way. The town originally started as a group of lean-tos but soon evolved to include a town hall, a courthouse, a jail, a bar (Lee named it "The Rusty Anchor"), an aid station, a merchant's hub and a network of rest stops and security checkpoints between New Peach Creek and Square Bot City. There is also a ranch nearby, where Rolf looks after a livestock of brahmin, as well as guard stations around the perimeter. The original name of New Peach Creek was Colony 117, named by Alloy in honor of the kid's vault.
Minor[]
- The Cul-de-Sac - The Cul-de-Sac was the original home of the kids. It first appeared in Chapter 5 where the kids spend most of their time scavenging items from Rolf's former house. Most of the homes in the area have been destroyed by the forces of the nuclear bombs. The only homes left standing are Ed, Eddy, and Rolf's houses. During the events of Chapter 6 the kids scavenge the ruins of homes left standing and come out with a few supplies. Later, Jimmy's funeral was held in Rolf's backyard. After that the kids vowed never to return to the Cul-de-Sac.
- Lemon Brook - Lemon Brook is Peach Creek's rival town. It was first mentioned in Chapter 1 where it is revealed that the Overseer of Vault 117 used to be the mayor of Lemon Brook and was offered this new position due to the fact Lemon Brook donated the most money to Vault 117's construction effort. It later partially appears in Chapter 7 in the form of the Lemon Brook Gag Factory.
- The Lemon Brook Gag Factory - As stated above, the ruins of the Gag Factory appear in Chapter 7 where the building serves as a shelter and a home to Henry Strak. The machinery and crates inside the building have been salvaged to build a house like structure of which Henry and his son Ben dwell in. Boxes and scrap metal form the walls as well as pieces of furniture on the inside. A path of torches light the way to the entrance while he lights inside are powered by some of the factory's generators.

Trivia[]
- The number of Vault 117 is based on the author's favorite number "17".
- Ed references the author's name in Chapter 6 when he asks if Rolf is reading issue #17 of Evil Tim.
- Despite that Locke claims that he hails from Vault 235, officially only 122 vaults were ever created, making his claim rather dubious.
