Charlotte picked up the holotape and examined it as much as she can before inserting it into her pipboy and pressed play. River stood close to her as neither of them wanted the volume to suddenly wake up something or someone. The audio was mostly filled with static, with a siren going off in the background. A man's voice can be faintly heard but most of what he was saying had been drown out by the siren and static. Charlotte and River could only hear the words "bomb", "civillians", and "damn Chinese" from the file before it suddenly halted and stopped.

"A holotape dating back to the moments when the bombs fell," River held his breath, "You think we can sell this to a historian back in the NCR for a nice price?"

Charlotte gently placed the holotape in her knapsack, "I dunno. You're the smooth talker out of the two of us. Why don't to tell me how much do you think it's worth?" She gave out a smirk during her reply.

River smirked back as he turned his head towards the two working terminals, eyeing at the one with the antenna in particular, "Ready to practice our hacking?"

River brought himself in front of the terminal with the antenna and began pressing a few keys. He first needed the prompt for the hack. A small hissing sound suddenly came from the monitor as the antenna began to shake slightly. Not a second later, the antenna began shooting out static as the shaking became increasingly violent. Charlotte immediately pushed River and herself out of the way and into the furthest corner as the terminal exploded with sparks and wires and bits of metal shoot out in all directions. River wrapped his arms around Charlotte's smaller body as the debris flew around. The only thing left in the aftermath was bits of the keyboard intact and the hollow frame of the terminal with smoke trailing out of the inside.

"Remind me, to do the hacking next time..." Charlotte looked at what was left of the terminal with ashtonishment.

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT NOISE?!?"

Charlotte and River could hear the booming voice somehow reverberating through the door behind the desk. They took a quick glance at each other before getting their respective weapons ready to aim and fire whomever goes through the door.
