The memorial was a neutral place to meet. Some people did not like the citadel and saw it as a fortress that the Brotherhood could keep people imprisoned and rule from, fortunately the same people was also courious too see the first beacon of hope containing water. After securing Jefferson Memorial the Brotherhood brought in some generators that made it light and easy around the area. The lower areas was also cleaned up and was being the living quarters for some of the Brotherhoods technician that wanted to study and maintain the area. Two Brotherhood of Steel soliders, often called Steels guarded the area with laser rifle gun in standby position.
The Lone wanderer entered a office where five people waited for him. They were Elder Lyons, the leader of the Brotherhood and the nearest the place came to a Leader. Sheriff Simms of Megatron, leader in everything bout the for the second biggest settlement of the Wasteland. There was also Gared, The leader of the board of Rivet City and Santiago, leader of the Regulators and Hannibal Hamlin, a man that had founded the Union, an organization that gave escaped slaves a haven, and there were more and more of them arriving for all over the place. He had a colony of 63 runaway slaves camping around the lincoln memorial. This was also starting to be a problem since slaves attracted slavers, and he only had 10 men capable of handling a combat situation. Two times had the slavers tried to attack the camp, but both time had they been rebuffed by the surroundings and gave up before they even came to camp. Had not the Brotherhood scouts seen them they would never have noticed.
" Welcome, we were just waiting for you" said Lyons greeting the Lone Wanderer who sat down at the end of the table. They were now all gathered in a horse shoe formation around a table that once had too belong in a boardroom, there was an inscription on the board, but he could not read it. TLW sat down on the far end of the table.
Elder Lyons started speaking. He was an old man, but still pretty in shape and clear minded, he was the leader of the Brotherhood and was a man that had great power around the wasteland.
" Thanks for showing up for the third of this security meeting for the Capital Wasteland. I will begin by summary up the briefings for our patrols the last month.
First of all, The mamelurks will be extinct from the Basin in short time. The patrol are reporting more and more corpses and less and less live ones. We can now accept that the fresh water is something they cant drink. Even though the rivers are now much more safe, it means that we have one less source of food." Lyons took a sip from the Aqua Pura.
" We can also report of a big increase of refugees coming from...basically everywhere. Runaway slaves, scavenger and refugees from all the eastern seaboard. We do believe that GNR news can be picked up from a larger area then we prevously expected. Currently they are settling around the Mall. And at last we are happy to report that the Aqua Pura is produced in such a quantity that we have a big surplus even though all the needs are meet. The free distribution is running smoothly."
It was Gared who first spoke. "Rivet City has increased their production of vegetables with 200% since the last meeting, but we still experiences that the food is still not enough to feed our own people and especially not the whole of Wasteland, our first priorities must be to increase the food production.
" I agree, Megatrons food supply is depended on caravans, and even though its much more safer on the caravan routes its too risky. We need to find other solutions so we not have a food crisis." Simms shouted in. He had his own problems. Moriarty, the man who owned the bar in Megaton had tried to influence the people there. But thanks to free distribution of basic medicine and water from the Brotherhood, and the elimination of the Atomic bomb threat made it possible for Simms to get enough support too implement Megaton in the co-operation of securing the Wasteland.
