» Thu May 31, 2012 2:55 am The Institute Convention- Set One Year Following the Events of the East Coast Convention (Adams Convention).
Factions: A list of current factions and the members that represent them can be found on the sign up page. If anyone who hasn’t joined up yet wants to, faction possibilities include Canterbury Commons, Regulators, or a variety of other groups. Or even your own faction. Just post a faction description to the “East Coast Convention Sign-Up thread” and I’ll approve it so you can start posting in the main thread here.
The following deals took place during the last convention (here’s their tentative outcomes, let me know if I left anything out):
(Also we have a few outstanding deals from the last convention, so if the delegates those are meant for could respond to them in either the first East Coast convention thread or the sign-up thread if the first thread gets locked, I'll add them to the list. If no response comes, we'll just assume the offers were refused)
-Abbey Dealings
With the permission of Rivet City, The Abbey of the Road made contact with Father Clifford and established a mission effort within the City connected with St. Monica’s church. The church of St. Monica has thus been catering to the spiritual and medical needs of the Rivet City community.
With Megaton’s permission, the Abbey began making tentative efforts to establish a church inside Megaton, but were met with fierce opposition from the Children of Atom. While the church was built, great verbal arguments have occurred between these two groups in the streets of Megaton and some in the city grow weary of the theological debate. The Abbey has done much to help the downtrodden of the city however.
The Abbey agreed to provide a librarys worth of pre-war books and information to the Institute in exchange for computers to store their ever increasing amount of data on, as well as turrets for the purpose of defending the Abbey.
The Abbey also sent a couple geneticists to Vault 101 to aid in their fertility and breeding programs.
The Abbey provided a few of its best medical personnel to the Pitt for the purposes of finding a cure for the Trog Degeneration Contagion. The cure however even with this increase in personnel has been slow due to the reservations Ashur has against hurting or harming his beloved daughter. However, Sandra and the Abbey doctors believe they are on the edge of a break-through and indeed expect the cure to come within the next few months. This has been met with joy amongst the citizens of the Pitt.
Tenpenny Tower now hosts a mission from the Abbey as well, which has been met with some degree of consternation from the citizens of the Tower, who dislike the order's pious ways. However, they have given Tenpenny Tower excellent medical care.
The Abbey hired Talon Company mercs to clear out and secure the Jury Street Metro station. They have set up a mission there for the purposes of helping wastelanders in the Capital Wasteland and have a small security force of their own now.
-Enclave Dealings
The Enclave made agreements with Rivet City for the shipment of fresh water to the city, which was greatly appreciated by the citizens thirsty for fresh water. This influx of clean water has also allowed for the expansion of the Rivet City hydrophonics farm which now has the capacity to meet the food needs of many individuals. Rivet City, has supplied some of this fresh food to the Enclave, under their initial agreement.
The Enclave also agreed to begin Vertibird bombing runs to the area directly north of Rivet City in order to wipe the area clean of Super-mutants and allow for the expansion of Rivet City. Carpet bombing tactics were also deployed along the roads leading along the Potomac, in order to open a protected trade route for Rivet City. As a result of these efforts, Rivet City has been able to expand beyond the confines of the carrier and into the DC ruins around the Anacostia Metro station and some degree north of it.
Talon Company was hired for the purposes of helping the Enclave in the capture of deathclaw specimens for mind-control usage. With the combined work of Talon Company mercs and Enclave soldiers, a good portion of the deathclaws around Old Olney have been cleared out. Although the area is still not safe.
-Institute Dealings
The Institute and the Enclave concluded a trade of technology for the purposes of friendly overtures. The Enclave agreed to station a squad of three Vertibirds at the Institute under the control of the Enclave for the purposes of further protecting it. The Enclave also provided several suits of Enclave regular APA as gifts to be reverse engineered, which the Institute readily did. The Institute now is able to outfit much of its human security force with this APA. In return, the Institute agreed to upgrade the Enclave plasma weaponry and its robotic forces. This has lead to a successful 75% increase in Plasma weapon effectiveness and a 50% increase in the strength and power of their robots and the ways in which they are produced.
-Vault 101 Dealings
The Enclave and Vault 101 agreed to allow for intermarriage between their two factions on the basis of each being of pure-human and healthy genetic stock. This has led to many couplings of individuals between the two groups and quite a few children have already been born, with many other women pregnant. As a result, the two groups now virtually see each other as family and something of a unified faction, although they still maintain their separate identities.
Vault 101 agreed to provide a limited amount of food to Megaton, which the people of the city graciously accepted.
Vault 101 was provided new doctors by the Abbey of the Road, and through medical training, the vault has begun training its own medical personnel.
The Abbey of the Road and Vault 101 formed a small expedition team for the purposes of delving into the Vaults surrounding the DC area. The Enclave agreed to provide Advanced Power Amor and training to the Vault personnel as well as a Vertibird for the purposes of transporting the expedition. Over the course of the year, they explored and scavenged most of the Vaults in the DC area, clearing them of adversaries and searching for information amongst the abandoned archives. This information has been of great value to both groups. As Autumn predicted however, all the Vaults were proven to be uninhabitable due to either the experiments that had been performed in them, or simply the degradation of the Vaults structure. They were obviously unable to visit Vault 87 and were surprisingly unable to open Vault 112, as the passwords provided by the Enclave did not seem to match up. Suggesting that someone was still alive in the Vault and controlling its systems.
-Tenpenny Dealings
After a round of debate between Mr. Burke and President Eden, the Enclave and Tenpenny Tower and Associates struck a deal in order to prevent hostilities. The Enclave agreed to provide a few vertibird patrols in the area in order to safeguard the tower from threats. Likewise, the Enclave initiated a combined air and ground strike against the raiders in Evergreen Mills. Two Sigma Squad Special Operations teams assaulted the raider hideout and exterminated the hostiles within. They occupied Evergreen Mills for a few months and the agreed to turn over the derelict factory to Tenpenny upon the condition that Tenpenny inform them of the purpose for which he wanted the facility (Drop_dead will decide what that was). Tenpenny has thus sent an occupying force of security troops to the location.
Tenpenny also sent a force to clear out the Dunwich building, which was likewise a success.
Vault 101 agreed to provide a few technicians to Tenpenny Tower to help with work on some sort of "Project."
- Pitt Dealings
The Enclave and the Pitt agreed to several deals which has strengthened the power of both. Initially the Enclave agreed to provide the Pitt with what Fresh water it could via vertibird transport to Haven. While unable to meet the demand of all the Pitt’s citizens, the water was graciously accepted. The Enclave has also been providing the Pitt with details on how to construct their own water purifier in order to begin making their own fresh water. In exchange, the Pitt has been providing a massive amount of raw materials to the Enclave which it has used to expand its fleet of vertibirds as well as its numbers of weapons, armors, and armaments. While the purifier construction is close to completion, a GECK for the purifier remains elusive.
In order to ensure that this large amount of trade between the Enclave and the Pitt (as well as the Capital Wasteland as a whole) remains open, the Enclave and the Pitt, along with limited help from the Abbey of the Road, have been constructing a series of military outposts along the I-70/I-76 and I-270 interstate roads as well as providing patrols of both Pitt soldiers and Enclave vertibirds. This has allowed both the Pitt, the Enclave, and many cities within the capital wasteland to maintain connected through trade with each other.
The Pitt also hired many Talon Company soldiers for the purpose of clearing out Trogs in their city. Ever the skillful soldiers, Talon Company has wiped out many of these mutants and has been handsomely rewarded.
-Megaton Dealings
Megaton, in order to meet its expanding need for building materials made a deal with the Pitt for a brick firing kiln, which was transported to Megaton. In return, Megaton agreed to “reroute” independent caravans to the Pitt full of supplies. With this extra building material, Megaton was able to provide homes for many of its displaced refugees.
The Enclave also agreed to provide large amounts of fresh water to the people of Megaton which arrived quickly and efficiently via Vertibird. In addition, the Enclave established a forward operating base near Megaton in the city of Springfield which has been fortified with the purpose of protecting Megaton. An Enclave strike team also assaulted the raiders in the ruins of the Springvale school shortly after arriving and annihilated everyone within it. As a result, the many of the common people of Megaton have begun to look upon the Enclave as the saviors of the wasteland. Several individuals throughout the city regularly listen to Enclave radio.
-Rivet City Dealings (Sebor this was in response to the post you made on the last page that I sort of missed, which the Enclave would have agreed to)
In order to begin the task of combating the mutants occupying the downtown DC ruins, the Enclave and Rivet City has just recently in the last month formed a collation force for this express purpose. Military actions have been launched under the combined strategic plan dubbed “Operation Audacity.” Enclave military and Rivet City security forces have thus begun launching attacks against the mutants within the ruins. Primarily the Enclave has contributed with sustained aerial bombing and supporting shock roles with Hellfire troopers as well as mind-controlled Deathclaws. Rivet City has likewise been using its security ground forces which were given limited training in urban warfare by Enclave military officers. The battle has been slow-going, but the initial push of the operation has led to the combined forces coming close to entering the DC Mall from the south. As the convention approaches this is where the battle-line currently lies.
CONVENTION SETTING:
The convention will be occurring in the Institute:
Time: Late in the evening, the sun has already set and the land around is completely dark except for the imposing structure of the Institute.
*The Institute is a massive facility whose lighted glass bio-domes and buildings can be seen from miles around and which looks like an oasis of light and civilization in the inky blacknesss of the wasteland surrounding it. The facility is enclosed by a very thick and high concrete wall which separates it from the rest of the world. Inside, the hallways and walls are well lit and almost sterile, looking very much like a pre-war hospital.*
*The convention room is set in the center of the facility in the largest of the facilities bio-domes. Inside, the room is much like the rest of the Institute, clean, white, and sterile. At the center of the room lies a convention table which forms three fourths of a square with the final side of it being open towards a wall on the farbside. Executive board-room style chairs line the table for the delegates to sit. The hum of instruments and computers can be heard faintly in the background. As the table faces towards a large blank wall, a map of the East Coast is being projected on the wall from a device on the ceiling. Two exits exist on either side of this same wall, which is guarded by Institute security. Meals and drinks will be provided by two service protectrons who stand on opposite sides of the table along the wall*
*As in the first convention, the Enclave has agreed to provide transportation, with the vertibirds landing in an enclosed outside area within the Institute.*
