What we know so far

Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.

This comes from Rock Paper Shotgun, which does its own reporting — for now, it's the only coverage. Some people met Fallout in 1997; others were born long after and joined in anyway. In the 30 days before this one, 16 other Fallout stories ran here.

Bottom line: Safe to take the main point — it's the fine detail that sometimes shifts later.
