An anonymous tipster sent in the documents to Kotaku a couple of weeks ago, most of them supposedly used for a casting-call project called "Institute". The word Fallout is never mentioned in any of the papers, but the dialogue contains the requisite Fallout phrase, "War.

Despite it being set in the past, Raiden will be making an appearance in the Xbox One version of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes next year.
