Jacqueline Spencer

Jacqueline "Jacq" Spencer (username JSpencer) was a settler at University Point prior to the Institute's attack in 2285.
==Background==
Jacqueline Spencer was an adventurous girl with a talent for engineering, responsible for reactivating the town's mail relay and enabling citizens to send emails to each other. However, she was also single-handedly responsible for triggering the events that led to the town being wiped out by the Institute, starting with the salvage of an old hard drive from an old office in Sedgwick Hall that belonged to a "Professor Stuart Campbell."Sedgwick Hall terminal entries; Gerald's terminal, She actually did it The hard drive was intended as a replacement, but Jacqueline let her curiosity get the better of her and investigated its contents instead of formatting it.Sedgwick Hall terminal entries; Jacq's terminal, Good find When she realized that she discovered Campbell's research on reactor efficiency, she immediately sought out a passing caravan to find a buyer for the information, agreeing to a 25/75 split of the hundreds of caps promised.Sedgwick Hall terminal entries; Jacq's terminal, Score!
The trader was an Institute informant during a time when the organization was looking for reactor research all over the Commonwealth.Sedgwick Hall terminal entries; Jacq's terminal, Today is terrible!!! The hard drive's contents were vital to the Institute and so a representative was sent to demand that the town hand it over, with the implied threat of force if it failed to comply. This person also mentioned Jacqueline by name, leading to the town turning on the Spencers. Bert Strickland, mayor of University Point, managed to keep the tensions contained for a while, though violence nearly broke out when Perry Owens suggested that Jacqueline be turned over to the Institute. Jacqueline's father, Gerald Spencer, attacked him.University Point terminal entries; mayor's terminal, [GSpencer]- Jacqueline Rumors circulated as a mob was forming, with Owens ready to be the first to grab a pitchfork.University Point terminal entries; mayor's terminal, [CCole] - Sorry about Martha
Gerald grounded his daughter for her own protection and Jacqueline obeyed, despite her initial misgivings.Sedgwick Hall terminal entries; Jacq's terminal, [GSpencer]- No More Scavenging However, that did not spare her the hate, as the town used the email relay she restored to flood her inbox with hateful messages.Sedgwick Hall terminal entries; Jacq's terminal, [POwens] - You stupid girlSedgwick Hall terminal entries; Jacq's terminal, Deleted MailSedgwick Hall terminal entries; Gerald's terminal, [BStrickland] - Keep Jaqcueline inside Mayor Strickland said out loud what Gerald feared, that the Spencers were vulnerable at University Point as a result of Jacqueline's actions and if the Institute did not get to them, then their neighbors would. He suggested getting out of the Commonwealth entirely.Sedgwick Hall terminal entries; Gerald's terminal, [SCooper] - Get out while you can
His advice was sound, though Strickland did not anticipate that the Institute would not take kindly to a town not following orders. Synths from the Institute descended on the outpost in late August and wiped the trading post off the map. The denizens put up a fight, but they stood no chance of repulsing the synths.Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide Collector's Edition p.518-519: "[18.09] UNIVERSITY POINTThis once-thriving settlement was built into the ruins of the old university. Approximately one year before current events, synths from the Institute wiped this trading post off the map after a disagreement regarding classified research. An explosion in the service tunnels under Sedgwick Hall killed many, released a large amount of radioactive material, and caused the building to partly collapse."(Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide Map)Jacq's note
Despite her claims, Jacqueline did not have the actual data. Realizing her mistake and how much danger she had put the town in, she rushed back to Campbell's office to finish her work.Jacq's holotape After studying Campbell's terminal, she presumably learned that the professor kept a secret lab in the University Credit Union and used the birthday of his student Leslie Mathews as the password. However, she realized that she was too late to save anyone.Sedgwick Hall terminal entries; professor's terminal Jacqueline's remains can be found in Campbell's office, still surrounded by bloodstains.
