Wandering Alone(Discontinued)

The Commonwealth

12.05.2287 | The Institute, Boston, America

William Johnathan Frederick Smith or more commonly known as the Lone Wanderer; stood in the middle of the Institute headquarters. The once vast and powerful faction that stood as the Commonwealth's, maybe even all of America's greatest entity, greater than even the Enclave.

Yet now, on December the fifth, after nearly three years of fighting, the Lone Wanderer stood at the middle of its carcass. The Institute was laid low as over the course of the war that they had found themselves in against the revered and even worshipped Lone Wanderer of the Capital Wasteland.

After numerous battles that saw the Super Mutant army of the Wanderer against the synthetic forces of the Institute, the Commonwealth now had the Union as their sole governing body, a union of the Commonwealth's greatest settlements such as Diamond City and Sanctuary Hills that was created by the Lone Wanderer and the Sole Survivor.

It was a few months ago did the Union force all of the Institute underground into their headquarters as Union forces encompassed all of the Commonwealth and even outside of it, only a week before did the Union figure out the teleportation technology of the Institute and only an hour before did the Lone Wanderer utilised that technology to infiltrate the Institute.

Once dubbed as the One-Man Apocalypse, the Lone Wanderer utterly destroyed the remaining forces of the Institute as all around him did the destroyed synthetic bodies laid in pieces.

In the background, with heightened senses, the Lone Wanderer heard the teleportation of numerous Union soldiers to the Headquarters as only a few minutes ago did he give the go ahead to the army.

With the now defeated Institute, the Union took all of the human scientists and staff into their custody and took everything of great value in the underground facility.

One of the Union soldiers walked to the still standing Lone Wanderer, in his famed power armour unit that made him nigh invincible, the soldier looked up at the terrifying sight as even after fighting with the great co-founder of their nation, the man, like many others, still felt a sense of dread at the eight foot tall walking holocaust.

"S-sir, all Institute human personnel have been taken with their technology now under our hands. Orders?"

For a few seconds, the Lone Wanderer stood silently, the soldier waiting in anticipation.

"Return to the Castle and inform Nora of these developments. Send one of your men to my quarters in Sanctuary to inform Ed-E to initiate Protocol: Reformation, he need do no more than say those words."

His deep voice resonated with the helmet's voice modulator, it gave it a near ethereal effect as if his voice was that of an Angel's or a Devil to some of the worse denizens of post-apocalyptic America.

"A-and of you, Sir? Ms. Nora will ask of your whereabouts."

"I shall stay here, awaiting for Protocol: Reformation."

With a salute the soldier walked off until he returned back to the Lone Wanderer to ask a question.

"I must ask, Sir, for Ms. Nora, what is Protocol: Reformation?"

"Requisition of this facility and using it for my own purposes such as a proper home and personal area for my own and I."

In quick succession, the Lone Wanderer answered the soldier. He saluted once more and went off to his unit to be teleported back to the Castle.

In good honest truth, the Lone Wanderer never needed a new facility of his own as the one in Sanctuary was well enough though eventually, he knew that the Commonwealth would need a great protection than the Union Army, they needed his robotic forces to be truly protected.
