The Prydwen

Annapolis, Maryland. Having once been a city home to one of the largest military academies of the United States, to say the resources left behind were of interest to the Brotherhood would have been an immense understatement. With the need to adjust a few final systems aboard the Prydwen, too, it was the perfect place to stop.

With multiple teams of Scribes below and going through, first, the remains of what had been the United States Naval Academy proper, the majority of the staff still aboard the Prydwen were Squires, Initiates, or Knights. Even Proctor Marshall Quinlan had descended to the surface to explore, collect, and log information, documents, supplies, and weapons. In his own office, Elder Arthur Maxson continued to go through what information had been able to be gathered about former Brotherhood members they suspected or knew were in the Commonwealth. The results had been disappointing. In the majority of cases, the former members had either since died, left the Commonwealth with no further information regarding their whereabouts, or had otherwise gone missing. Frustrated, he turned back to the information he had sent back to Reconnaissance Squad Gladius upon Danse's request for information on a woman they had come into contact with during an investigation which had, much to their annoyance, resulted in a dead end. A bit surprisingly, the information they had on her had been relatively substantial, especially after having received confirmation from Reconnaissance Squad Gladius they had, in fact, correctly identified the woman. Taking a quick glance at the file, the East Coast Brotherhood's Supreme Commander checked to ensure the update of her location had been logged which, as expected, it had been.

Ensuring the file and its most recent updates were saved to the Brotherhood's database onboard the Prydwen, Maxson began to go through the list again. Tediously, having to mark file after file as a closed case for one reason or another, he went down the list. So many of these people would still be alive if my forebearers hadn't let them go. Lyons' death really did throw us into abject chaos. Lyons. He had, so far as Maxson was concerned, been the best leader for the Brotherhood to carry them through the last few years of the war with the Enclave. Lyons leadership and ideals had fractured the Order, but they had also been instrumental in reinstating and maintaining order in the former Capital. Yet, for as brilliant a tactician as he had been to be the one leading the final victory against the Enclave, he had also been a little too lenient once the Enclave were gone. To a lesser extent, that had been the case with Dr. Davis, who, he was sure to be bitterly ironic, had been taken back to the Vault she had spent most of her life in by Dr. Madison Li, whom herself soon after left not only the Brotherhood but the former Capital entirely. And, now, she's exiled herself to the Commonwealth with no other purpose but to make contact with the Institute. More than anyone else, she should not have been permitted to leave. She was too valuable an asset. Annoyed, he pulled up Dr. Li's file, his eyes narrowing the further down it he read.
