insert FEV into Project Purity.

well... the enclave, they are a faction, like the CIA, FBI, only they were a little more secret, and made for the purpose of life after the nukes(kinda futile anyway, food was running out, oil was gone) the enclave had their own pet projects, FEV was one of em. much like the presidental fallout shelters of the 50's/60's they had plenty of supplies and facilities ready for the war. they had the last oil well in the world under their control.(fallout 2)

at bout 2077 the vaults were made(funded by us government/enclave) the real plan was to move america to another planet(san franisco shuttle)
the enclave oil rig had machines that watched all of the vaults(how do you think they could so easily find the vaults?)

after the enclave came from their vault to look around, they came up with the idea of using the FEV they found from mariposa, they developed frank horrigan from it. luckily(sadly) the world wasnt completely purified by the west coast enclave. their intention was good, purify all creatures that had radiation, the flaw is that humanity(which came from their own vaults) was the main creature that had to be tamed(ghouls, super mutants, raiders, and wasters)

with those dudes wasted, the east coast systems were already in motion, with samples of FEV already developed(remember it was made to kill the chinese?) the east coast enclave also developed the advanced power armor mk 2, only it was made differently with differences in equipment on different coasts. their intentions were the same, but with the west coast failure, the enclave computer became self aware. autumn was gonna do a coup, but the wanderer got in the way, and the circumstances involving the purifier complicated things.(what made things more complicated was that their own vaults denied to give them assistance, vault 101 was the only functioning vault, and it denied to give assistance to the government.) the purifier was the only way the enclave could go through with their plan, it had good intentions, but then humanity got in the way, autumn saw the plan as overkill(defies logic, he shouldve seen it on a larger scale)

the clash between autumn and eden is definitely one heck of a plot of its own, autumns plan to kill eden was a military coup in the making(it almost happened, but then the lone wanderer got in the way, if the wanderer died, eden wouldnt be able to use FEV and autumn would most likely haved killed it/him)

after the destruction of raven rock, the enclave as a whole was torn apart, but could still work. (still dont know why they didnt nuke the citadel there and then...) the last line they formed was to stop the brotherhood of steel from reclaiming the purifier, although they didnt have the FEV, the best they could do is try and get it to work, while still trying to hold off the brotherhood. their intentions were pure. they had been denied any assistance from the surrounding area so they took matters into their own hands. after losing the purifier, you could imagine how mad they would be that their own kind were not only denying help to them, but that they were killing them, the several payloads of orbital missles that they had served as the perfect thing to even things out.

the missles they had demolished the brotherhoods best weapon, but the enclave had lost yet another base. with the mobile base, they brought out the big guns(enclave forces were now out in full force trying to stop the rebellion, hellfire troops, vertibirds, and sigma squad were everywhere, but they still failed because of the lone wanderer.) with the brotherhood rooting out their bases, their main intention was be rid of the infection so they could continue cleaning up, course they failed, or did they?

either way, they had gray choices, you cant say they didnt, but humanity got in the way of logic.

Doesn't stop me from wanting to punch my own country in the throat sometimes, though.

Even if I considered this points debatable the President's plan to wipe out those he deemed unwanted is particularly atrocious.
