TOPIC Sigma Squad.
"The Enclave has long been my life and I hope that it remembers me for longer than it takes for this disk to wear out and die. The mission we embark on soon will be my last, I know that’s the way it will progress, and I will make it so that is the way it progresses. I was born alone but I will die part of a team, I want everyone in that team to know that this was not your fault but it was my time, I hope you all can make better use of my meager possessions than I was able to. Firstly Capt John, I leave you my greatest respect and wishes for the future, I will also leave you my biography of Napoleon Bonaparte, you are so much like him. Jalen, I never knew you well nut I give you my trusty 10mm I know with your weapons you wont need it but if all else fails have it there. Simon what can I say its thanks to you that I’m writing this now and not years ago, to you I leave my deepest thanks and my copy of the DC journal of medicine. Ben you wished to die for your cause and assuming you found something to live for I leave you my first rifle, maybe you could get it working again, no-one else ever could. Sandra, you shattered every pre-conception I had about you and even though it’s not as pristine and effective as your blades I leave you my Machete. Isaac, don't blame yourself for this you just helped me realize what I needed, you have the potential to be the greatest sniper we have seen in this great force and I hope you have room to take my Sniper along for the ride. Goodbye and remember me, I hope I give you cause to."
Ryan stared at the letter, this history that seemed so close, yet it is now lost. The soldiers and warriors of Sigma are lost, and the Enclave, the nation’s one hope, has faded away into memory. 20 years it has been since the fall of Enclave, and now, the Brotherhood will fall as well...They have extended their power too far; they have bitten off more than they could chew, and now they will pay the price. The ideals that this cult had once stood for have all but vanished, and now they stand for corruption and greed. Democracy will prevail, the weak shall unite, and The Enclave will rise again, under a new name, under a new flag, behind the might of Sigma Squad. Remember this day Ryan, the day that justice once again returned to the wasteland...
You will be Sigma Squad, you will become the sword of the new republic, of the Enclave, you all come from different backgrounds, have different ideals, but you have one common trait, you were born to kill, to lead. You were chosen for a reason, its time to start the rebellion, the rally point is the rubble of what used to be Raven Rock, the coordinates are attached. If you come, be prepared to have you name written down in the annals of history, you will become legend.
