Brief:
5th of July, 2279
The Enclave has been obliterated, defeat after defeat at the hands of the Brotherhood have taken its toll. The remainders have one plan.
Take down as many Brotherhood soldiers as they can.
After the beating they received from the elite Brotherhood squad, Cold Steel, led by one Sentinel Edward Shield, they decide that there is no one better to lead it than him. His body is taken from the Crawler by an Enclave Stealth Unit, and air lifted to a Lab. Then the treatment starts.
After the battle, Sentinel Peter Harrow, the Second-In-Command is taken up to collect Edwards body, after he refused to let anyone else do it. They arrive to find the body missing, and Peter sinks to the ground, moaning.
"It's just a corpse anyway." says an Initiate, as he watched the Sentinel. Worst mistake of the boys life. Peter, in his emotional state, punches the kid in the face, nearly breaking his neck. The Sentinel is restrained, and forced onto a Vertibird back to the Citadel. When he arrives, he kicks open the Vertibird door, walks to his quarters, retrieves his possessions and leaves the Citadel as a legend. His final words as a Sentinel?
"I was too old for this crap anyway..."
He begins his journey to Rivet City, when he meets an interesting man. They begin to discuss the latest events in the Enclave-Brotherhood War.
6th of July, 2279
In a dark laboratory, somewhere far away from the Capital Wastelands, a beady set of eyes watches a show of lights never before seen by humans.
"Sir," calls out an intercom, "The test was a success. The Cold Fission process worked. Project is a go."
"Good. Load them onto the planes. Tell the soldiers to board the planes too. Destination: Washington D.C."
"Will do, sir. Planes fueling is beginning, they should be touching down in the next few days. Should I prepare the cameras so you can watch?"
"No. Fuel my Jet, too. I'm going."
"... Uh, yes sir. I'll, um, get on that right away Mr. Zi-"
The man with the beady eyes cut off the radio before his assistant could finish.
Soon...
