This thread is currently under work, and the cast has been chosen.

1945 Divergence in Fallout universe
1946 Japan signs a peace treaty with United States
1950 Japan invests it's research towards underground building research and robotics.
1970 Due to the fear of a another nuclear attack, the Japanese government starts Project Safety. The construction of New Tokyo, the first of nine underground cities is started.
2000 The Tokyo Research Facility, the first of two underground research facilities, is built beneath Mt. Tsukuba, The research is geared towards advanced weapons and biomedical research.
2005 The Hiroshima Research Facility, the second underground research facility, is built beneath Mt. Hijiri. The research is geared towards construction technology and robotics.
2035 Mister Robotnik, a general maintenance and construction robot is placed on the market by Mitsubishi Motors.
2038 Construction of the fifth underground city is started. Citizens are encourged to start living in the already built cities to encourage a smooth transition in the event of another nuclear attack like Hiroshima. Work continues on already built cities to ensure they are up to date on all construction standards.
2050 Alarmed by the dwindling supply of oil imports, Japan begins searching for fuel alternatives. Two large hidden oil deposits are discovered beneath the northern island of Hokkaido.
2052 April: Troops are sent into the Middle East to aid Europe in the war against the Middle East.
December: A new virus variation of the bird flu breaks out in Kyoto.
2054 Use of Nuclear arms in the Middle East prompts the withdrawal of the remaining troops, a quarter of what had been sent. Despite efforts to contain or control the spread of the bird flu, Japan chose to isolate from the rest of the world, closing it's borders. However agents are sent all over the world to keep apprised of world affairs.
2055 Researchers at TRF attempt to create a cure for the bird flu. The first attempt to cure kills the virus, but kills the recipient a short time later.
2057 The flu virus has reduced Japan's population down to 34 million. Those who managed to survive the virus's run became sterile. A cure is discovered which kills the virus, but not the recipient.
2058 Expansion into electric and fusion-powered cars. Gas-operated vehicles are banned to conserve fuel.
2060 A new strain of the flu breaks out. However it doesn't kill it's victims, but leaves them sterile once it's course is ran.
2063 After the flu runs it's course, all but four million citizens are left sterile. Construction of the eight city is started. An effort is made to push as many into the construction as possible.
2065 Agents are able to smuggle an early prototype power armor from the United States, spurring advances in military, construction, and fusion technology.
2066 Fusion power cells are developed and used as the main power sources of the underground cities, and only in Kyoto, Tokyo, and a select few cities over the next eleven years.
2069 Three fusion-powered monorails are installed as the main mode of transportation between the cities.
2075 Sony Industries develops it's computer operating system similar to RoboCo Industries' and makes it the standard interface on all computers. Experiments are started to cure the sterilization caused to the victims of the killer flu.
2077 Construction of the final city begins. Existence of F.E.V. virus leaked to the world.
October 23: Bombs fall all over the world. The construction crews on the final city north of New Tokyo, Akita, didn't get very far along before the bombs fell. Fifty men and ten weapons were forced below with the equipment and what they had on hand for supplies. They were not able to put in an AI for oversight, but they did have one power plant in place. A society was formed in which the females were in charge, controlling the breeding for survival.

Sapporo and Hakodate, two of the northern cities, end up filled with all sterile citizens. Kagoshima, the city connected on the north side of New Tokyo, had become a retirement community in the previous years, filled mostly with the elderly. Only a tenth of the population is young enough to be able to care for the large number of elderly and keep the city working.

Of the four southern cities, Osaka is overpopulated to double capacity. Kyoto, and Hiroshima end up with only half capacity, and Okayama is just above a quarter capacity.
2079 March: Taking advantage of humanity's current predicament, aliens launch an abduction run on the city of New Tokyo City. The abduction run turns into a pitched battle between the aliens and humans, taking a major toll on city. Half the citizens are killed in the battles, during which the aliens cripple their power supply down to two power plants. In an attempt to protect the city, the AI named Nobunaga shuts down the only two connections to the rest of the city grid, cutting all communications.
April: In order to combat rationing, a scouting party is put together to explore for more sources of food and energy. With the radiation and poison levels at a inhuman level in the areas where the nuclear bombs hit, most of the party is killed just outside of Tokyo. One survives, though heavily radiated and dying. Taking matters into it's own hands so to speak, Nobunaga implements a breeding program with the fertile adolescences geared towards survival. The society is divided in a hierarchy, with the 'breeders' at the top serving Nobunaga. The rest of the city is regulated to a labor force. Those over fifty are killed and used as fertilizer for the fields. Nobunaga is revered as a god in a short time.
With communications cut off to New Tokyo, the southern cities band together to survive. A standing military is created within Kyoto, mandatory service from ages 18 to 30 for those not actively employed in essential jobs.
2085 An underground earthquake cracks Sapporo and Hakodate in multiple areas, allowing water and lava to crash in. Only a very small portion of the citizens escape, forced to wander the Japanese wasteland. Radiation and poison take their toll, mutating the humans.
2095 Nobunaga begins sending out scouting parties into the wasteland for new supplies and mapping.
3000 Due to a programming error, the AI in Kagoshima shuts down the power plants. The lack of power for heat, elevators shut down, and monorail access cut off quickly turns the city into an icy tomb.
3003 Kyoto and Osaka beginning sending out scouting parties into the Japanese wasteland.
3013 Hiroshima and Okayama open up, citizens moving out to find new homes.





Project Safety was started as an attempt to create a safe haven for a portion of the population to wait out the event of a nuclear catastrophe. Not everyone could be saved, so a calculation was created for the amount of people needed to be able to continue the existence of the human race. That came out to be 900,000 citizens by the scientists and engineers in charge of the project. Nine identical cities were designed to be formed in a I formation. Three cities would make up the top and bottom, while the remaining three cities would be nestled between like a spine. Ten miles of monorail track connects the cities to each other like an artery. The location chosen for such an endeavor was placement in the center of Nagano Prefecture.

Each city was designed to cover an area of ten square miles. The top of the city started half a mile beneath the earth's surface, extending down for two miles. Two large elevators are used at the main entryway into the city, one located in the center of the city while a second one is placed in one of the corners. Five sets of heavy reinforced doors designed to withstand a direct attack are able to close within moments guard the entryways. An A.I. Is implemented into each city, controlling everything connected to the computer system.

Five fusion power plants supply all the energy needed to power the city and then some. Water filtration systems clean and purify the water coming from various underground tunnels built to supply water. Hydrophonic farms supply the natural food supply. Each city was estimated to be able to be fully sustainable for at least 150 years. Transportation within the city was covered by foot, bicycles, or two-manned fusion-powered mopeds.

Due to a direct hit on the West Tek Research facility in the United States, the F.E.V. virus leaks into the atmosphere to combine with the large amounts of radiation relased by the mulitude of nuclear strikes around the world. As rain, snow, and other forms of moisture fall, the F.E.V. laced radiation isotopes are deposited on the Earth in various amounts. A large number of nukes hit Tokyo, Osaka, Kitayushu, Hiroshima, and Kyoto. The enormous impact of the bombs on Osaka and Kitakyushu is enough to cause that portion of the island nation to break away and sink beneath the waves. Hokkaido gets swallowed by the sea in the seisemic upheaval as a tsunami hits the west coast as far as ten miles inland. All but the hardiest of plants and animals slowly succumb to the radiation storm, slowly eating away the land. The humans, animals, and plants that are able to survive begin to show the signs of mutations two years later, many new species appear almost overnight. Twenty years later greenry is returning to Japan. Fifty years alater, only the areas directly affect by the bombs still have high levels of radiation, with small but tolerable levels throughout the land.

This post isn't finished, I'll add as I (we) get more ideas.

The underground cities

All underground cities are designed to cater for 10.000 people, for 150 years if they have to close the doors.

In each city there are living quarters (quite spacious), parks, farms, small gardens, fish and algae farms, hospitals, schools, Shinto shrines in gardens and parks (living quarters for priests being part of the biggest shrine) and one Zen Buddhist temple/monastery with a park in front of it.

Underground cities north of New Tokyo:

Sapporo
Only sterile citizens.
Earthquake in 2085, only very few survivors.

40, ten women and 30 men, survived in the ‘Pocket’ -Pocket’ was the scientist’s nickname for the high-security, well-stocked (for the full 150 years) area on the top level of the city they lived in. It contained living quarters for 250 scientists, a small park, a big garden, its own small power plant, the hospital where a select few of the citizens were ‘treated’, and a secret stock of different types of robots. The Pocket seemed to be a part f the city, but by closing two double doors (which slid out off walls automatically at the start of the earthquake) it was sealed off completely.

It was said the city was only inhabited with sterile citizens, but most of these scientists had taken precautions to not produce offspring during the time they spent in Sapporo. The citizens were discouraged from traveling anywhere, also they were told there was a change their children could be fertile, or become fertile after treatment during puberty. The real goal of the government had been to study a civilization doomed to die as soon as the youngest child would die of old age.

Within a year six female and eight male scientist became fertile again because after the earthquake they stopped taking the chemical sterilizers they had chosen. Those who had taken definitive measurements of course remained sterile and the ten citizens in the hospital at the time of the earthquake of course remained sterile as well.

Their water and air supply was contaminated during the earthquake, resulting in them being exposed to radiation and an again mutated form of the FEV, both resulting in them mutating into a fertile strand of highly intelligent super-humans. Forty years after the earthquake the eldest of the third generation (two boys of ten and twelve) are already taller, stronger, more intelligent than their grandparents, their skin is deep brown, hard like bark, pliable like textile, their eyes sharper and able to process light ranges their parents’ aren’t. The second generation had in average reached puberty around eighteen; the twelve year old of the third generation showed no sign of losing his baby-teeth yet.

Instead of observing and experimenting on the citizens, now the adults of the group observed, educated (and in moderation experimented on) themselves and their children. They took a pledge to always just observe and educate ten years after the earthquake, when the first of them discussed going back to the surface.

In preparation they occupied themselves in their spare time with checking out the robots, reprogramming them if necessary, and having them explore the city outside the doors of the pocket to find a way up, and dig it if and where needed.

In the flooded part of the city only Fugu and some other fishes from the fish farms survived. Those which survived the radiation found more than enough food, especially when the robots started to dig.

Hakodate
Only sterile citizens, filled to half capacity.
Earthquake in 2085, only very few survivors.

In Hakodate there were many more hospitals than the population would ever require. Especially since the population mainly (90% of which 70% were female) consisted out off young people. The citizens were told the government wanted to study and solve the infertility problem (and the abundance of young pregnant women seemed to affirm this), the truth was the Japanese government had enormous amounts of human eggs and sperm stocked in Hakodate and used the women as host-mothers without them knowing it.

The mothers were encouraged to bring their children to daycare centers, where especially patient and protective robots took excellent care of babies and toddlers. Less patient and a bit less protective robots took care of elder children and taught basic language skills, basic writing and reading (some Kanji and Kana, the robots did better with a stylized form of the latin alphabet), basic arithmetic and history (in the form of endless streams of stories).

Most survivors of the earthquake were toddlers and young children, saved by very dedicated robots which had stumped down over whatever obstacles to get the children in their arms (three or four per "nanny" robot which means each of them carried four to five toddlers, or three to four babies for the emergency -always having one hand free to feed or caress them or to keep dangerous things (like insects) away from them- and emergency bags -filled with diapers, milk, baby-food, milk-bottles, pacifiers, wet napkins, spoons, water, napkins, diaper-rash cream and a few odds and ends like toys, teething rings, teddybears, bandaids and antiseptically creams- over their shoulders. The soothing noises of the nanny-robots had such a calming and calling effect on most young children they followed the nannies as good as they could. They in turn were followed by teacher-roborts.

On the surface the nanny robots immediately grouped and took off to the nearest mountains in the search for caves. As soon as they noted the children and teacher-robots following them, the nannies slowed down and changed direction to an old military airport.

Only very few adults made it out through the safety doors (or in the lifts) because the robots pushed them out off their way. Those that did, and survived the hot water roaring up out off the tunnels, collected whatever was carried up with the water and useful -directed by two nurse robots- before they followed the nannies and teachers.

Akita
Fifty men and ten women formed the start population.
One power plant, very limited supplies, no A.I.
Soon after they realized there are five men for every woman (about half a year after they sealed the doors (which they had to do by hand), got a hydrophone farm working, and build adequate quarters; with other words: after their survival was finally quite secure), the women take the matters in hand. By lottery the men are divided over the women and a matriarchal society is born. At first the men are only tested on their sperm quality, later (when the second generation women are adults) only the fittest and most intelligent men get a status high enough to have a change to be selected by a woman to impregnate her. Those men also form the two highest male ranks, Engineers and Defenders, the other men are “work-bees”.

Five women form The Council, five men, who have fathered at least three daughters each, are The Council’s Advisers.

Kagoshima (closest to New Tokyo)
Filled to capacity. 90 percent pensioners, 10 percent caretakers and city-service employees.

2083 The caretakers and service employees revolt. A.I. Chiharu (thousand springs) at first sides with the pensioners. Within a year the revolutionaries have succeeded in “turning” Chiharu though; now the A.I. sees the wellbeing of the younger people as her most important assignment.

3000: Due to a fault in her program, Chiharu shuts down all power plants. Most pensioners have died by then, partly of old age and sub-optimal care, partly of working too long and too hard. The rest now have to hack away parts of the city’s insulation.

New Tokyo
2079 March: Taking advantage of humanity's current predicament, aliens launch an abduction run on the city of New Tokyo City. The abduction run turns into a pitched battle between the aliens and humans, taking a major toll on city. Half the citizens are killed in the battles, during which the aliens cripple their power supply down to two power plants. In an attempt to protect the city, the AI named Nobunaga shuts down the only two connections to the rest of the city grid, cutting all communications.

April: In order to combat rationing, a scouting party is put together to explore for more sources of food and energy. With the radiation and poison levels at an inhuman level in the areas where the nuclear bombs hit, most of the party is killed just outside of Tokyo. One survives, though heavily radiated and dying. Taking matters into it's own hands Nobunaga implements a breeding program with the fertile adolescences geared towards survival. The society is divided in a hierarchy, with the 'breeders' at the top serving Nobunaga. The rest of the city is regulated to a labor force. Those over fifty are killed and used as fertilizer for the fields. Nobunaga is revered as a god in a short time.

2095 Nobunaga sends out the first special bred and trained scouts to map and find supplies.

Underground cities south of new Tokyo:
With communications cut off to New Tokyo, the southern cities band together to survive.

Kyoto
Filled to half capacity.
The very few western countries Japan still had diplomatic contacts with, got permission to relocate their embassies to Underground Kyoto.

A standing military is created within Kyoto, mandatory service from ages 18 to 30 for those not actively employed in essential jobs immediately after the alien attack on New Tokyo.

The Osaka boys become the first students (regardless of their age) of newly formed military ‘academies’.

3003 scout parties (mostly descendants of Osaka’s over-population) are sent out, only because Osaka’s Daisuke sends scouts out. Kyoto doesn’t want to see the most prospective grounds in Osaka’s hands.

Osaka
Overpopulated, double of planned.

Osaka’s A.I. Daisuke (great helper) desperately seeks to relocate the surplus citizens to Kyoto, Okayama and Hiroshima. Only after the attack on New Tokyo, Kyoto and Okayama offer to take the children between eight and fourteen. Kyoto the boys and Okayama the girls. Daisuke changes birthdates and sends out children between six and sixteen to save as many as possible. Immediately after the doors sealed, Daisuke forced most adults over 30 to have a vasectomy or sterilization. People over sixty are ‘encouraged’ to commit suicide (their rations get smaller which each year they complete). By 2090 the population is finally down to the amount the city was planned for, but supplies have dwindled.

3003 scout parties are sent out.

Okayama
Quarter capacity. The citizens are quite pleased with the situation, and only agree to take the Osaka girls to be second wives with less status than they other citizens. Also their children are second-class citizens.

3013 opening

Hiroshima
Half capacity
3013 opening


Monasteries
Several monasteries, famous and minor ones, had taken their own precautions against disasters. Some had started as early as the 1950's.

Robots

Nannies
Roughly human shaped, three or five arms. Two or three to tote babies and toddlers around, one or two to feed and caress them. Most always keep one arm free to grab any toddler doing something the nannies deem risky.

On their back is a bulge, filled with a container with milk, a smaller one with a stomach soothing tea, a container with several kinds of baby and or toddler food, always at the right temperature to serve. Their bulging stomach opens at the chest and then forms a hollow changing table. In their stomach is an assortment diapers, wet and dry wipes, sanitizing fluid, baby powder and a container with a cream against diaper rash.

In their thighs they store teething rings, baby rattles, soft toys like teddybears and soft toys with different textures.

Their chest, arms and legs are covered with a layer of soft silicone.
They have two eyes on the front of their head, one on each side, and two in the back of their head.

They almost always play a soothing singsong, they talk in a soft voice (unless an adult needs to be told off) and if they carry a child in an arm that arm automatically "does" a heartbeat: sound and soft pulsing.

They are very protective of their charges and very patient with them.

Teachers
Roughly human shaped, two legs, two arms, one head. Two eyes at the front, two at the back of their head. They are broad, their stomach and butt are flat, behind protective covers are screens on which they can show videos, or, if they choose to, the children are able to write or draw.

In their chest is a stack of napkins, tissues, bandaids, antiseptic creams, crayons, paper, puzzles, small toys. From their waist to high on their back is a bulge, filled with healthy snacks, plastic glasses, and containers with water and tea. The bulge is formed in a way young children can sit easily on it, their legs dangling over the shoulders of the teacher, a treat reserved for good students. In their right thigh more paper is stored, pencils and pens, in their left thigh is a printer.

They teach basic language skills like writing and reading (some Kanji and Kana, the robots did better with a stylized form of the latin alphabet), basic arithmetic and history (in the form of endless streams of stories).

Less protective of their charges than the nannies, they also have a bit less patience with them.

Animals

Fugu (blowfish)
A traditional and popular, albeit costy and risky Japanese dish, several fugu kinds were bred in all the fish farms in all the cities. In Sapporo and Hakodate radiation mutated the Fugu into two closely related strands:
Safugu grew to the size of a shepherd dog, learned to process oxygen out off air with their gills, evolved from just having a mildly poisonous skin to being able to slung drops at fiends with their fins or spew it at them.
Hafugu Did all the above plus learned to use their fins as feet. A fugu far away from any body of water would be a Hafugu, if it was close to water and had slightly less strong looking fins, it probably was a Sagugu. Both were deadly.

Brahmin
Friendly two-headed cow, excellent pack-animal. There aren't too many around since Japan wasn't really a milk&cheese-country.

Kobe
Un-friendly two-headed cow. One long, sharp horn on each head, twice as big as the brahmin, without any dietary restrictions. The last means they are ferocious hunters.

Godzilla
'Inspired' by the US' Deathclaw the Japanese army started to work on a similar project. Since they decided on a lizard as base, the name "Godzilla" was an obvious, maybe the only possible, choice.

Godzilla's are ferocious and very loyal fighters and doting parents.
They are close to four meters, the females a bit shorter than the males. Both are dark green with a red glow on their bellies. Their arms are quite long, they have three fingers and a thumb, retractable claws. They are capable of the pincer-grip, which allows them to use all kinds of tools, weapons included. Some Godzillas however are very keen mechanics and love to tinker with cars.
