Wicked Shipping

Wicked Shipping was a small-scale trucking company that operated in the Commonwealth area prior to the Great War.
==Background==
This locally-owned and operated shipping company was founded by the Flynn brothers, Tim and Blake, and had a fleet of seven trucks before the War struck.Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide Collector's Edition p.261: "[1.09] WICKED SHIPPING FLEET LOCKUPTim and Blake were two brothers who started their own shipping business. They had a small fleet of seven trucks and were out on deliveries when the bombs dropped."(Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide Map) The company's primary distribution center was located outside of Concord city limits to the west, and delivered to all parts of Boston and its surrounding areas.
Wicked Shipped had three trucks from its seven-vehicle fleet completing deliveries on October 23, 2077, when the bombs fell, with the clients being major corporations: General Atomics International, Chryslus Motors Corporation, and Mass Fusion. The cargo being delivered were uranium pellets to the General Atomics factory in South Boston, fuel cells for the Corvega assembly plant located in Lexington, and barrels of radioactive waste destined for the Mass Fusion containment shed. None of these shipments made it to their intended destinations.Wicked Shipping Fleet Lockup terminal entries; Wicked Shipping terminal, Cargo Manifests
Not all was above board at the company. Secretly, the Flynn brothers had a deal with mob boss Eddie Winter and were using the company to smuggle radioactive materials, stealing items from their clients' delivery shipments and modifying the shipping manifests to cover up their thefts. The drivers were well aware of these criminal activities, and were expressly ordered to check in with the brothers before making their deliveries to ensure everything was properly covered up. This was important because at least one employee had previously failed to so and put their criminal business at risk;Wicked Shipping Fleet Lockup terminal entries; Wicked Shipping terminal, CHECK THIS MESSAGE this was doubly important because Eddie Winter was threatening to kill them if they failed to fulfill their deal, and Blake had also alluded to something unpleasant happening to the employee who had caused trouble for the company.Wicked business Ultimately, it seems that the brothers did manage to hold up their end of the deal, as the mob boss received enough radioactive material to successfully undergo an experimental procedure that turned him into a ghoul, as he had planned.To Claire
Although Eddie had been satisfied, it seems that the Flynn brothers were still in continued business with him. While Blake seemed fine with how things were going, Tim was beginning to have second thoughts about their deal, especially given Eddie's threats of death, and recorded a holotape pleading for Blake to shut down the company and flee with him to avoid Eddie's wrath. He also suggested that they meet face to face to talk things over. The holotape is found in the back of a vehicle shed at the company's main lockup, next to the skeletons of two men facing each other who have slumped backwards against the opposite walls, with a 10mm pistol at one's feet and dark stains on the walls behind both skeletons.
==Notes==
* The context of Tim's holotape "Wicked business" and the room in which it is found seem to suggest that Tim and Blake met with each other, but ended up fighting and killing each other. However, the Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide claims that the brothers were driving the delivery trucks on the day of the Great War, despite Blake's terminal entries making it clear that the company had dedicated truck drivers who were not the two brothers. Companions will also explicitly make "gory"-type location comments (examples include Preston Garvey saying "Nobody deserves this." or Nick Valentine saying "That is going to stain.") in the radius between the two skeletons, despite there being nothing else that would count as "gory."
* Wicked Shipping's truck trailer decals can be found in the Creation Kit with Editor ID TruckTrailer01Sign_WickedShip02 and Form ID . An additional, cut decal can be found under Editor ID TruckTrailer01Sign_WickedShip01 and Form ID .
* A Wicked Shipping refrigerator magnet appears on the fridge in the Sole Survivor's home in Sanctuary Hills.
* A Wicked Shipping logo sign can be found on the wall of the Prost bar.
