Welcome to the Big Apple

An Alternate Fallout 4

When in 2277 the Lone Wanderer emerged from Vault 101 at the age of 19, the Wasteland saw just another young man destined to suffer and have his hopes shattered in the unforgiving harshness of the former capital of the United States, in less than a year though, he would take Capital Wasteland by storm and neutralize most of the main threats of the former Washington D.C.

By the end of the year 2279 I was born. My father had died of radiation poisoning a few months after taking on the Enclave and succeeding and my mother had assumed the command of the Brotherhood of Steel, East Coast Chapter.

In the year 2306, at twenty-seven years of age, I was invested with the title of Elder, nearly a decade after my mother’s death in a reconnaissance mission to New York. Twenty years later the Brotherhood of Steel of the East Coast has splintered away from the one of the West Coast despite all my efforts. Their fanaticism about their ideal of technology over everything else and their new, almost religious leaders have made it impossible for us to remain on one side any longer. We are alone this time. However, we aren’t weak any longer, what my family and I have built for the Brotherhood is stronger and truer than ever. We have started to push outwards in all directions. Baltimore, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Albany, Boston, Providence, Portland, Detroit… In that order we took them and stablished bases.

The Brotherhood is now almost a nation, or so many like to think. But in the last few years we have been in grave danger… The water we supply and its trade network, our lifeblood and the thing that keeps most of the wastelanders on our side has been disrupted. Violently. In a year we have been forced to abandon Detroit, Buffalo and Portland. Our central command in West Point has been threatened from the south by a charismatic figure, a leader that has united many tribes under her fist.

After all we have done, we are afraid. The battle for our survival, the survival of the values of the old U.S., will be fought soon and I am afraid because war… War never changes.
