Bysshe Company

The Bysshe Energy Company, also called Bysshe Co., was a pre-War company in the energy sector. In 2077, it operated the research vessel USS Ozymandias and acquired rights in the area of Point Lookout to probe for natural gas resources. It also developed a powerful Assaultron unit, the Imposter Sheepsquatch.

===Natural Gas Survey Project MD-16-001===
The purpose of Natural Gas Survey Project MD-16-001 was to determine whether sufficient deposits of bio-gas were present on Point Lookout to make large-scale diggings viable. The company was aware that potential bio-gas reserves on the island would likely be a result of mass burials from the American Civil War, a fact it sought to conceal even from its own leading expert, Caroline Saunders, as it was aware of her "liberal" leanings. Martin J. Roach was given the task to monitor her and, when it became apparent that Saunders was starting to show interest in the gas deposits' origins, executed "Code Blue" protocols in order to destroy all evidence by running the Ozymandias aground.USS Ozymandias terminal entries; terminal, Null
===Operation: Mary's Little Lamb===
An ambitious covert plan to allow Bysshe to seize land, the Company commissioned Calvin van Lowe, one of its talented engineers, to create an Imposter Sheepsquatch out of an Assaultron and cause a string of Sheepsquatch sightings. In that way, Bysshe hoped to throw property values in Lewisburg into freefall so that it could buy up the town.Van Lowe Taxidermy terminal entries; assembly platform, Check-in #1 The project team consisted of Calvin (codenamed "Blacksheep") as the main developer, Bo-Peep as the handler, and Big Bad Wolf as the fixer.Calvin's security code At some point, the Imposter Sheepsquatch escaped containment, severely injuring van Lowe and killing Bo-Peep, leading to Big Bad Wolf being dispatched to investigate.

===Harpers Ferry Tunnel natural gas pipeline===
The Bysshe Natural Gas Co. offered to maintain a historic train tunnel near the town of Harpers Ferry, to which the town readily agreed. This seemingly altruistic act allowed them to secretly construct an illegal underground pipeline within the tunnel.Aries: "Just your run-of-the-mill illegal natural gas pipeline, courtesy of the fine people at the Bysshe Company. A bit before the War, Bysshe offered to maintain this historic train tunnel out of the goodness of their cold, corporate hearts. And, wouldn't you know it, they may have had an ulterior motive."(Aries' dialogue) The facility used a new alphanumerical decryption system for improved info security to a middling degree of success, as many of the employees were unaccustomed to the changes.Reminder about passwordHarpers Ferry tunnel terminal entries; observation terminal, New ID System Due to its closed climate control, water cycling systems, and emergency food supplies, the employees inside survived the Great War unscathed, initially not even noticing the devastation.Harpers Ferry tunnel terminal entries; observation terminal, The End?

==Notes==
The company is fond of building hidden installations behind reinforced doors, with these installations only being accessible after inputting a code using a company calendar, as was the case of their installations at Van Lowe Taxidermy and the Harpers Ferry tunnel.
==Appearances==
Bysshe's Ozymandias appears in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout. The Bysshe Company and its subsidiaries are mentioned in terminal entries inside the ship's wreck. The company also appears in the Fallout 76 updates Wild Appalachia and Steel Reign.
==Behind the scenes==
The company name is a reference to Percy Bysshe Shelley. The research vessel USS Ozymandias from Point Lookout is also a reference to Shelley's most famous poem Ozymandias.
