I'm currently making a Fallout Chicago map on Google maps.

During the BoS first visit to Chicago, they were attacked by Super Mutants, which resulted in the Super Mutant wars. They decided to go against protocol and take in tribals apart of their ranks to help them reclaim Chicago, but could not gain power. When the war wrapped up, the tribal recruits gained notoriety among the Chicago tribes and forced themselves into higher ranks, angering the inner circle of the BoS.
Four crime families sprung up from different sections: the Second Chicago Outfit, the Syndicate, the Chinatown Triad, and the Devil's Cartel. In order to secure their safety and peace to research the past technology, the BoS' inner circle created the Treaty of Chicago, which had all the families agree to be friendly to the BoS. The other side of the BoS, created from outsiders, became a kind of police force for Chicago, but instead became a more totalitarian force, angering the tribals and gangs.
The main character starts the game with no memory of past events, except they know they are from the Institute of the Commonwealth. In truth, you are really an android that came to Chicago with your creator, Dr. West, to find the last remaining GECK since the Institute needs one to repair the Commonwealth. The BoS shoots down your Vertibird upon entering the city. Upon finding out what you are, the BoS kidnaps you and Dr. West, but West erases your memory, equips you with a Pip-boy, containing your mission, and kills himself in order to procure the safety of the Institute as well as you.
