Keller family transcript

The Keller family transcripts tell of a pre-war family, that tried to communicate to each other how most of them planed to get into the underground bunker at the National Guard Depot. when the first bombs dropped on October 23, 2077. All together the transcripts make the four digit passcode: "5746."

The Keller family
The family members consisted of: It is implied they had a strained relationship. Alex was a U.S. Army National Guardsman who was able to steal the access code to a bunker, and sent a single digit of it to each family member, forcing them to be together to survive the bombs. However, he was arrested for stealing the codes and can be presumed not to have joined his family in the bunker. Ralph refused to join the family, stating that he had "a mushroom cloud to walk into" - he would rather die than spend the rest of his life cooped up with his father.
 * The father
 * The mother
 * Candace
 * Alex
 * Tina
 * Ralph

The other four family members, Mom, Dad, Candace and Tina, took shelter in the underground National Guard Depot, where it is presumed they met their end. In the bunker, there are three bodies and a glowing one; it seems probable that this is what became of the father as a result of his many trips to the outside, searching for supplies in the irradiated wasteland, and explains why there are three bodies in the bunker instead of four. It is possible that the Kellers were killed by him, due to him becoming feral.
