FALLOUT: Sievert - Vol.2: Threshold

Chapter 20 - History Part 2: USA

Hanna continued after a short tea break, "In 2277 The Enclave Cell that formed in Washington DC started popping vaults in modesty, building their strength. They were handed the prints to make their own Power armor from what was found of the X-02 to a Colonel Autumn, they re-engineered it into the Advanced Technical Armor or ATA. Later that year, that enclave cell went fully dark. We had no idea what was happening out there as communication was always a status report once every 2-weeks. We haven't heard from them since then.

In 2297 the Chicago cell wished to push the Capital. Unfortunately, they were met with heavy Super Mutant forces there as well, and worse, some kind of new breed. At the same time trying to expand further West, we hit a jackpot.

We followed the clues all the way back to the Brotherhood's main base that they locked themselves away to. Vault Zero. The Brotherhood splinter cells reformed with their main force at Vault Zero. Under terms, and safe passage to become American citizens in the help to take back the United Commonwealth, they finally joined into the war. 

The tech, manufacturing, and manpower the Enclave had from Vault Zero made the Enclave more powerful than they had ever dreamed this far. Vault Zero was directly connected to NORAD and the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, which stored the excess of mini-yield nuclear fatman warheads and launch control of every missile silo in America.

The War was then on the offensive. We swept south from north, established supply lines and bases in the west against the Rockies, and pushes east from there. We still encountering warbands of this Legion, and Mutant Liberation Army just as common and alike. 

They had no chance. The Master's Army's capital was Quincy. The Enclave had tried to attack the heavily fortified town before with failure, taking incredibly heavy enemy firepower that lead to many losses. But, with the Brotherhood now with us, we had a high chance.

The war came to a close in 2299 as the Human Supremacy forces Pincer'd the front line back east, and then flanked with the other force from the west, followed by support of mercenaries from the north, blitzkrieg-ing the city. 

Using Artillery we had acquired, aircraft that we got into operational condition, heavy power armor divisions of T-51B and Technical Power Armor. The town was left in shambles, massacring all other towns within the state as well under Mutant control. Though, there were still resistances all over the place. The war was won, The Brotherhood successfully integrated into the Enclave.

It became clear though, as other humans are sneakier than hulking monsters like Super Mutants. This Legion force had moved an entire Battalion sized force behind us and had almost taken Vault Zero. They were attacking undefended Enclave settlements and doing scorch earth tactics when we chased them out. We had a new problem besides the remnants of the Master's followers and the mutants back east. 

But there was still good news; the Chicago Enclave had taken most of the Mid-UC and had finally broken through, making a stable line and force, trailing back towards New York and the Capital. We had reestablished contact with the Enclave Cell in D.C. that was devastated and a new Brotherhood Cells dotting the coast. The Enclave remnants there seemed to have had a feud with a rouge 'Chapter' of the BoS and lost due to a superweapon the BoS has in their possession."

Hanna stopped and saw my cup was empty; she then poured my cup full of tea from a clear green pitcher full of ice. I took a sip of it before she continued forward with the history lesson.

"There was then a new issue. The Brotherhood there refuses to join the Enclave, but we gave them time. Then good news popped up in September of that same year. We had reached the Enclave Cell at the Sierra Army Depot... But they weren't a cell.
