Michael Tournquist

Michael Tournquist (2065–) was a student of the Malden Middle School and was to be one of the initial resident subjects of Vault 75 in 2077.

Background
A citizen of Malden, Massachusetts, Michael's enrollment in Vault 75 was subsidized by the federal government as part of the Vault's experiment. However he and his brother were raised to distrust their teachers and Vault-Tec. Their parents instead instilled in them a plan to survive together.

The plan worked... mostly. As their father instructed, instead of going into the vault, Michael managed to get his younger brother David away from the teachers and hide. After their father (whom hacked the Med-Tek director's terminal, getting advanced warning) fled from his office at Med-Tek Laboratories on foot, he traveled to Malden Middle School to retrieve his children. Together they made it to their home at the West Everett Estates and in their shelter just as the planes were passing over head. His mother Bonnie however would never make it home, becoming trapped at work; Mass Bay Medical Center.

Life in the shelter was a combination of fear and sorrow. All they could do was listen to the radio and gunfire; for three days it was just outside their shelter. It was during this time that David would continue to ask when mama was coming home. All his father could tell his brother was that "she was at the hospital helping people." Michael would only glare at his father, knowing full well that it was most likely a lie.

They would finally emerge from their shelter late January 2078. For the next three months the surviving families worked together to barricade and fortify the neighborhood. Since then they were keeping watch in shifts, and the kids all enjoyed getting to come out side.

On April 30th, his father celebrated his wife's birthday with his children, trying to bake a cake but ultimately opening a can of frosting and writing in his journal. This however was the end of their good fortune, on March 27th 2078 Leon Ames would make the fatal mistake. He and his brother were scouting when they came upon a group of former rioters, immediately Leon started shooting off his mouth about their fort. They let the pair go and followed them home.

Lance knew they would be seeing them again real soon. While he was on watch on the roof he killed. His stupid, cowardly brother pissed his pants and joined the raiders after they overran the settlement. They latter planning to use him as a shield for when they went back into the city. In the commotion Wayne and Michael grabbed David and ran away under fire.
