This story takes place after the destruction of both Raven Rock and the Mobile Base Crawler at Adams Air Force Base. The Enclave has withdrawn from the Capital Wasteland after their embarrassing defeat at the hands of the technologically inferior Lyon's Brotherhood, and have made their way to Chicago. Colonel Autumn is now the Commander in Chief of the Enclave, and oversees all operations of the shadowy organization.

Upon reaching Chicago, the Enclave are immediately confronted by the Midwestern Brotherhood of Steel. Recognizing their hated rival the Enclave decimate all Brotherhood they meet. The initial Brotherhood scout team sent to meet the Enclave are quickly reduced to goo piles; and soon a much larger force arrive to confront the deadly new refugees. Outnumbered 30 to 1, it would seem the Enclave's end is imminent when high-ranking Brotherhood arrive and declare a cease-fire. While the cease-fire is active, the Brotherhood marvel at the superior, and advanced technologies that the Enclave possesses.

Soon these prominent officials demand that the leader of this "Enclave" show himself at ounce; lest his entire group be demolished. Autumn arrives and the two organizations begin diplomatic relations. And after 3 days of discussion, the Brotherhood decide that the Enclave are a too great a threat to their power and issue an ultimatum ; "You will either assist us and teach us the secrets of your technology... Or you will all perish." Seeing no other choice but to help them, Autumn agrees.

"Very wise choice Mr. President. The Brotherhood look forward to a long, and mutually healthy relationship with the Enclave. As for those scouts you killed, we'll forgive and forget that. Now if you will, come with us."

The Enclave go with the Brotherhood and soon arrive at their headquarters, Bunker Alpha. Autumn meets with Barnaky, now a part of the Calculator, and is briefed on the current situation. Autumn is exceedingly happy with what he hears and promises full Enclave support of Barnaky and his mission.

"I will leave my best and brightest personnel with you to help assist in any way possible. My scientists will be most useful in helping clear humanity of it's many mutations and find the most effective ways to eliminate the mutant scum. My engineers will be most effective in teaching you the ways of our technology and helping to produce more of it. My combat officers will also be useful in shaping up your already capable army to the utmost standards. Now as for the youth and most senior of my group both in rank and age, they will be coming with me to a discreet and secure location within the city of Chicago. I refuse to give it's location at this moment, but rest assured that in the near future you will know it's location."

"That is all very swell Mr. President but how do I know you won't run off?" Barnaky responded

"Hahaha. Now I don't mean to insult your intelligence in any way General, but why would I run off and leave my brightest minds with you? Taking with me only the youngest and most senior of my already small group would in no way be a wise choice. I simply want the Enclave to retain a private place to call home; my people have already lost much and I have already gave much to you. All I request is that my people have their own place to call home. Rest assured this will not be the last you see of me."

"Very well Mr. President, you may go and take with you those who we have agreed to." Barnaky responded briefly

"I and the Enclave thank you General. From this point on we shall be called the Enclave of the Brotherhood of the Midwest. May our future be a grand one." Autumn replied as he began to make for the exit

"No we shall not." Barnaky said before Autumn could leave

Autumn stopped and replied, "Excuse me?"

"It's not catchy enough, Mr. President. I was thinking more along the lines of The Brotherhood-Enclave of the United States of America." Barnaky said with a certain sound of slyness. If he had a face he would have had a winner's grin.

"Very well General. I rather have it no other way." Autumn replied happily

His hands in a parade rest position, Autumn slowly walked out of Barnaky's room. As he reached the exit his face had an immensely pleased smirk to it. In his head he recited "Rebuilding America's future today... By any means necessary."

This is just the history of the story; a quick briefing. The actual story is in the works.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this so far, writing is definitely one of my favorite pastimes.

Also I would like to give credit to http://www.gamesas.com/user/595104-styles/, for his Enclave-Brotherhood coalition idea was great and helped my story come to be.

That's all, MysteriousD phoning home

Fast forward 15 years...

The Enclave through it's efforts and coalition with the Midwestern Brotherhood has eliminated over 85% of radiation caused Human mutations and has all but cured the genetic damage done by the airborne FEV released by the West-Tek bombing. Through the form of a needle injected serum, 90% of the Humans under the Midwestern Brotherhood's banner have been cured of the majority of their mutations.

The Brotherhood, following the orders of those left by Autumn, have been scavenging countless ruins looking for supplies needed to produce more of the advanced technologies of the Enclave. So far, they have been able to create 250 suits of Advanced Power Armor, 500 Plasma and Laser based weapons, and 12 fully-functioning vertibirds. The entire operation works as a supply and demand deal; with the Brotherhood delivering supplies to the veritbird helipad and the Enclave flying the supplies to their Chicago Outpost for creation. Their are currently 20 veritbirds in usage, 12 belonging to the Brotherhood and the remaining 8 in the ownership of the Enclave (those they flew to Chicago with).

The Chicago Enclave Outpost is now the workhorse and mothership of the entire Midwestern operation; producing perfect-quality Vertibirds, Energy Weapons, Medicine, Anti-Mutation serums, Power Armor, communication technologies, purified food and water, and robotics. In addition to all of this, the Chicago Outpost also acts as a nest and vacation center for Prime Normals (100% Pure Humans). The Outpost produces Prime Normals and the brightest minds for the Brotherhood to use in it's aims. After a month of hard work, Enclave personnel are allowed to return to the Outpost for a month vacation and those who were on vacation are put back to work for the Brotherhood. Through these means the Enclave working for the Brotherhood are always enthusiastic and morale remains high. The entire operation works flawlessly and Barnaky couldn't be more pleased.

Although the location of the Chicago Outpost has yet to be revealed to Barnaky, and he has grown very displeased with Autumn. After issuing a series of threats to Autumn he was shocked and checkmated by Autumn's response.

"Are you going to kill me General? Go ahead, I call you a bluff. If you kill me the Enclave will stop serving the Brotherhood; you will have to kill us all and your plans will be severely hindered by the loss of such valuable minds... You need not worry about the Enclave General, we only seek to serve the Brotherhood and assist in it's goals of Human restoration."

Though Barnaky was correct in is mistrust of the Enclave. For deep within the hallways of the hidden Chicago Outpost (now more correctly called the Chicago Bunker), the Enclave are forming secret plans and have doubled in number since their arrival. Their PA is better, vertibirds are faster and more deadly, and weapons far more advanced than the ones they've given to the Brotherhood. It's not that they want to kill everyone, now it's an issue of who's really in charge...

Barnaky or Autumn?

Hope I'm building the suspense in anyone reading

Well I'm off for the night, be back to write more tomorrow.

Hope you enjoy and GOD bless!

Hmm, I'm not a huge fan of the Enclave, and I find it a bit hard to believe for the BoS and Enclave to work together. Although, it's certainly an interesting idea. Barnaky was certainly a nut job and maybe the Enclave could have seen some advantage in working with the BoS... for now. LOL

Your story sounds more like a concept idea so far, but your writing is really good.

Autumn died in canon.
