This episode is the prologue to "Once Upon a Wasteland: A Fallout 76 Love Story."

In the late 23rd Century, a mysterious client has hired an archaeologist and a historian to track down a family treasure that's been lost for more than a century. After a long, arduous search, they've finally made it to what they think is the right place - a vacant but otherwise ordinary-looking house in Appalachia. Will they find the treasure? And even if they do, will they take it to their client or keep it for themselves?
