@knighthawk Yeah, we can say that the Sole Survivor never completed that quest or bought that gun. Instead of completing side quests they only completed main story missions because they were desperate to find Shaun, so they only encountered people like Piper, Preston and Danse but not Cait or Strong. Plus they definitely wouldn't have done Railroad missions, so your character could have completed the Silver Shroud missions instead.

Bumping to check for interest.
@knighthawk Yeah, there's no usable Power Armour and anything requiring a Fusion Core for power or ammo won't work. Fusion Cells are still available and New Vegas established that Cells can be recycled, but they won't deal as much damage or hold as much ammunition. Plasma weaponry and Gauss rifles will still work but most people will be using ballistic weapons.
@knighthawk Yeah, I'd say it's a fair assumption that people raided the ever-loving hell out of the ruins of the Institute and whatever the Brotherhood left behind.
December 24, 2287.
The Brotherhood of Steel, in their infinite wisdom and with the aid of the Sole Survivor, have destroyed the Institute. From there, they began a campaign of eradication, hunting down Synths, Ghouls (feral or not) and Super Mutants alike as well as those who would hide of protect them. The Minutemen were on the verge of defeat, the Railroad on the brink of destruction... Until December 24th, 2287, exactly 62 days since the Sole Survivor first woke from cryogenic slumber. The day that the shelf life of fusion cores expired.
Power Armour stopped functioning, Gatling Lasers no longer had ammunition and vertibirds had no more power source. Even the vehicles abandoned on the side of the road would no longer detonate, as their own fusion power sources depleted. The Brotherhood of Steel was crippled. Banding together, the Minutemen, Railroad and (to the displeasure of all parties) remnants of the Institute pooled their resources together to drive the Brotherhood out of the Commonwealth. The Sole Survivor, considered an unbeatable Sentinel, fell in battle while Elder Maxson was forced to sound an aerial retreat, fleeing aboard the Prydwen as the Commonwealth celebrated. But the celebrations were short lived.
Remnants of the Institute were quick to point out that they had long since taken to manufacturing their own Fusion Cores, having foreseen this eventuality long ago, considering it their ace-in-the-hole to be the only faction with functioning, fusion-powered technology, but with the Institute destroyed it was almost certain that Brotherhood Scribes would be pouring over any and all retrieved Institute data in an effort to create their own Fusion Cores, at which point the Brotherhood would be unstoppable and their anti-human genocide would be complete. There was only one option; To build their own fusion cores first. For years the Institute had been launching satellites into orbit, monitoring radiation levels, weather changes and other activity and one thing had appeared on their radar just days before their defeat.
Lights. Lots of them, accompanied by high energy readings suggesting fusion power. But not the gradually depleting fusion power they were used to seeing, newly manufactured fusion power, likely from newly constructed cores and reactors, coming from coastal China. A small party is being put together with the intention of travelling to the continent by sea in the hopes of recovering any information that could give them an edge in the coming Core War.
What to Expect:
- Mutated sea life.
- Mutated Chinese fauna such as the Golden snub-nosed monkey, mutated wolverines, etc.
- Mutated Chinese flora.
- Chinese Ghouls (Called "E gui").

@Dark Eternity It couldn't hurt to post and tag a few people to catch their attention and keep the RP in their minds.
@Dark Eternity I've never RP'd a misanthrope before so I'm trying something new :P
@Dark Eternity@FallenTrinity I'm here. I just had Lamia talk to Dom & Ronan IC. She's still being moody though.
Lamia gritted her teeth at the sound of the dark-haired boy as he gave up with essentially no resistance, even offering Magneto his hand. He knew exaclty who the man was and he wanted to shake his hand?!
"Right. You." She said, her jaw tightening and jabbing a finger in Ronan's direction, "I trust you about as far as I can throw you if that's how easily you give up, but you?" She turned to talk to the short girl with the colourful hair whose clothes had seemed to appear out of thin air, "You sound like you've got half a brain even if it's because of hindsight. That trick with your clothes, what is it? Teleporting? You think you can get us out of here the same way he brought us here?" she said, nodding towards Nightcrawler.
@Proleptic @Dark Eternity

@FallenTrinity I don't think so, it's only been a couple of days. I'll have a new post up soon (family medical emergencies FTW) and if things don't move along I'll invoke CO-GM powers.
