8. Register as a Volunteer

The Overseer recommended that I become a Volunteer for the Responders to get some basic training. They may be gone, but they did know how to live for a while. I should see what I can discover in their old systems.

Use one of the terminals located in the building on the other side of the street and select [ Volunteers: Register Here! ].
