War Never Changes III: Annals of the East

@DX3214 Yeah, I'm just gonna post it in characters. If that turns out to be wrong, I can move it.

War Never Changes III: Annals of the East

I'm not sure if I'm suppose to post my entry here first or not, but I am ready to.

A fully automated Enclave remnants faction, mayhaps with several backups of President Eden's code lurking within? And one set on trying to reform the Enclave? An interesting proposition, certainly...

@Yam I Am

No Eden, no clones of Dick Richardson, no Colonel Autumn. Number One's Enclave is deemed a fresh start. There ARE two super computers that I played around with in the old campaign. One was a large mobile weapon meant as a Metal Gear reference, while the other is the machine that runs the plant itself, which has no mouth and it must scream. Number One is a reference to the TV show, The Prisoner, but I can tell you - without revealing his identity - that he is a genuine Fallout character.

So the general idea is in the west we fucked up in the east we fucked up somewhat and now is time to fix our shit.

"This organization has failed in every one of its endeavours under all previous leadership. I will be the one who brings us and the wasteland back to proper order. There will be no room for past sentiments of a dead government. We will march towards the future, and not be shackled by the past. To build a brave new world, that is what shall be done."

Thanks, and yeah, Fort Knox doesn't seem like a bad idea, though I think i'd like a bit more to go off of than just Fort Knox itself. There's lots of speculation about what exactly is still in Fort Knox, and by the metric of Fallout's resource situation pre-War, I wouldn't bet that anyone's still sitting on a gold mine.

@Yam I Am

I'll bet there's speculation. What I did for The REALLY Wild Wasteland RP was have it that the Fort Knox area retained automated (possibly malfunctioning) defense units that would include robots and on-site military turrets similar to the ones found at the Sierra Army Depot. Also a minefield, but that's to be expected. Nobody ever returns from this location, however, if they wander too far to the main gold vault. Amidst the semi-broken buildings and potential blast sites in the area, nobody's ever hit this building, it seems, and nobody's ever scoped it out too close either that's come back. The reason? Well, you're right. It does seem like people would go after the gold, using it for official purposes or just wanting to steal it. So, anyone getting past the basic defenses would be within striking distance of finding...mainly painted bricks. Lots of them...followed by several secret passages opening and a platoon of black powersuits wielding plasma rifles.

Welcome to the Enclave's secret weapons development center, son.

This is a large secret Vault built on United States' money by the organization that would later become known as the Enclave, the folks who secretly owned Vault-Tec, Poseidon Oil, and more while being essentially the shaodwy side of the government, pre-war. Post-war, they are a military organization of scientific levels that the Brotherhood of Steel fought so hard to not be like, but then as of Fallout 4, the BoS started going full-zealot, which I felt was following the path of Father Elijah.

But getting back to the Enclave, the story is that those that were able to pull out of their outposts in various locations around the US would gather here, under the command of a new leader who declared that "The old Enclave is dead. Long live the new Enclave.", and proceeded to operate a new organization which was going to be far more tactically sound and using the old head-brain properly to handle matters. The new leader, a black-and-red powersuited figure known only as Number One, has had some years to expand his limited amount of troops and to outfit those under his command.

I can give you alot more details than that (Categories of troops, weapons, vehicles, etc.) upon the asking.

@Yam I Am Looks like I could still use Fort Knox if we consider it basically edge of map on the west side. (Fort Knox is mid-way through Kentucky, under Indiana, and you can see Indiana in that map, just about.) But hey, I have something for you, since you bring up maps. A friend of mine showed this to me, and it's awesome.

Okay, so not THAT East. Gotcha.

War Never Changes: Let's Tri This Again

@Auz I have kind of a dumb question: Didn't the Legion originally come from the East? Maybe more Central, but wasn't the point of Ulysses and the Courier that they were mailmen from the West and East? You could have it that the Legion went back East to reconnct/regroup with territories it was more familiar with.

@Yam I Am None.

War Never Changes: Let's Tri This Again

I'm actually looking this over now, but you know I'm interested in an actual Fallout campaign.

EDIT: Chances are, I'd probably represent something weird or outlandish that totally fits in with Fallout. If I can't think of something suitable for the occasion, though, I would request to run my version of the Enclave (You know they're not dead.), the same verson that I used in a campaign that lasted a good three years on another board, which plays up the Wild Wasteland trait. (Original flavor of this stems from Fort Knox, but I can adapt.)
