### The Last Great American Dynasty

*Many Wastelanders know America took a fatal blow in 2077, its armies and people burning in nuclear fire. But most of them don't know the tale of the men and women who kept the dream alive in the darkness that followed. The Richardsons served America after the Great War, preserving its dream and protecting its citizens, whether or not they knew it. An enclave of the best and the brightest, who would keep the torch of freedom lit until it could burn again. They were close too, you know. The last Richardson had a plan to save the Wasteland, a weapon that would kill the super mutants and feral ghouls who held back recovery. Until it all fell apart.

Nobody knows what happened to the Rig. A Brotherhood of Steel commando raid? Remnants of the Master's army? Perhaps it was the Rangers, cloaking their hatred of America in their sweet lies of liberty. Certainly the NCR had no problem pouring north with tribals, Brotherhood paladins, and others in tow. The Enclave killed many, but we had to leave. With the chain of command in disarray, Santiago took off, and led the flight east.

Let us honour her, and how she worked to save America in the West.*

 id### Men to Match These Mountains

*When the Enclave fled the West Coast after the fall of Navarro, some fought on. Patriots who didn't give up on America journeyed east, by vertibird, truck, or by foot. Thundering gun battles echoed across the Great Plains as they carved through the Brotherhood's despotism to reach Chicago. But Santiago, and those who stayed? In the name of fighting a 'rearguard action,' they stayed at Navarro. With support from the Secretary of the Interior, they acted as the western flank of the Enclave. Gone was the President; but in its place was a land lightly touched by radiation, home to happy, healthy children. A land where old soldiers never died - they just faded away.

For something odd happened in the region. Over time to survive MacArthur began to trade with the surrounding towns and ranches. As relationships followed trade, soldiers turned into ranchers, medics into doctors. When Missoula asked for help against Heaven's Gate in 2268, she was protecting her retired veterans as much as she was the people of the town.*

 id### The First Families

*Missoula was an odd town, for the Wasteland. The town had good, unpolluted farmland, herds of healthy bison, forests for timber nearby. Nobody went hungry. But in every society some are more equal than others, and Missoula was no exception. The First Families, descended from the scavengers who returned after the War, controlled the best lands; the best forests; and the best mines. Colonel Santiago's detachment only increased the division, for who but the rich could afford the Army Corps of Engineers? Moreover, the increased security Santiago brought turned the region into a magnet for refugees fleeing Heaven's Gate and the Khans. The lucky ones found jobs in sweatshops or farms. The unlucky ones? Well, there was a winter every year.

One of Santiago's more considered decision was the use of auxiliaries, trained with local equipment. Some favoured drawing forces from the First Families, but others counseled that the refugees would be reliable to whoever offered a better life.*

 id### Slander, Lies, and Treason!

*The founders of the Brotherhood were deserters and traitors who abandoned the Greatest Nation on Earth in its hour of need. Two hundred years later, little has changed.

Now the Montana Chapter spreads lies and slanders about the Enclave's efforts to save America. Its paladins tell refugees and ordinary, hardworking citizens that our efforts to repair the mutations to humanity are 'genocide,' and concoct silly fantasies about a plan to wipe out every human. This is base slander! We're the government! We're here to help! But, unfortunately, some fools have been led astray by their lies.*

Right now Enclave troops are enroute from Chicago, the gleaming heart of America! These fine men and women have one mission - the restoration of American peace and order.

Just remember. When you see the Enclave, you see the United States government. We are authorized to restore order and civility, by any means necessary. Just stay out of the way and let us do our job. Interfere with the Enclave's mission, and you will be dealt with. Harshly.

*As the screen flickered to life, the Colonel wondered, once again, why the Secretary appeared like this. But she said nothing as the Old Man spoke.

So, you ground the Rebels under heel at last, hmm?' he chuckled. 'They say a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. So of course those mutants broke under American heroism. Nevertheless, you are to be congratulated, Colonel. Or should I say Brigadier General!'

'But the Brotherhood was there for a reason. I'm sure you can guess why, as our old struggle in the Heartland heats up. We need you, Brigadier. We need the Northern Commonwealth.'

The terminal next to the Brigadier flickered. 'I'm afraid your charges will need to contribute a bit more to the Reconstruction.'

 id### In the Army of the Enclave...

*The resources of the Northern Commonwealth could turn the tide in the Heartland, and give the Enclave a chance to crush the Brotherhood once and for all. But alas, too few Americans are left to satisfy every front nowadays. [MCA.GetLeader]'s demands call for new sacrifices from everyone in [MCA.GetName], and there are three proposals to meet the Secretary's orders.

The easiest solution would be to appeal to Chicago for further assistance, in exchange for accelerating resource extraction in the North. We could also work with the First Families and the rest of the region's elite and rely upon their involvement. Although these would not be as powerful as the United States Army, they could supplement our ranks in additional battalions. Finally, we could recruit the Refugees and Wastelanders, opening the doors to widespread recruitment.*

*The world was on the cusp of greatness, they say. Or was it hubris? Poseidon Energy drilled deep beneath the waves for the last of Earth's oil; they harnessed the sun to keep old Vegas ablaze; and in Yellowstone, once a park, they drilled into Earth's marrow for energy.

Marvelous in men's eyes, all night and all day, unto them a fire blazed, tireless and unquenchable. Poseidon's Hephaestus Project, they say, would have powered twenty million homes for thousands of years. They say it would have solved the Resource Crisis. Or, they say, it would set off a volcano, and another nuclear winter. But they say lots of things, don't they? Yellowstone's rangers refuse to activate the plant, but others wonder . . .*

 id### The Flame-Eyed Fire

*At long last, our scientist discovered the secrets of the Hephaestus Project. But what shall we do with this power?

Chicago would prefer we divert the energy back to them, a vital resource for their war against the Midwest Brotherhood. But Rodriguez would argue the energy serves a valuable role for the region, and could further industrial development. In this scenario, we might still send resources to Chicago - but it would be processed uranium, coal, and other riches pulled from the mountains. And then there is Maria, the Colonel's daughter. Maria proposes we share the power with the people. People power? A novel idea. It might, at least, gain us support among the locals... but it will certainly anger the Secretary of the Interior. Can we truly risk that?*

*Some slander the Colonel's harsh methods to civilize the North, but clearly she's been successful. If she weren't, why would there be so many refugees trying to come to Missoula and Bozeman?

But they are a problem - Macarthur simply cannot sustain so many poor Wastelanders at this time. To this end, refugees are turned back at the towns' borders, but smugglers try to sneak them into our slices of pre-war America. Corporal Ellen and her team of Rangers captured the smugglers' ringleader, Mamma Cotton. Cotton refuses to stop helping these Wastelanders, but for now they are nothing but a drain on Missoula.

There she works with the Colonel to protect the people of Montana, a true inspiration for all Americans! There are those who say she's gone native - those who whisper, indeed, that she may be a \*mutant\*. But if that were true, how could she handle the Enclave's weaponry so effectively?

Ellen's unit, Team October, guards the Wasteland and handles threats that need a special touch. Diplomacy with the First Families? A raid on a Metal Mouth Outpost? Trade mission to the Bizarre? Well, why not? What else is Team October for.*

*To protect the North, Team October has hit upon an ingenious idea; relying more and more on local auxiliaries and locals. Although less well equipped than Team October or the Enclave proper, these Wastelanders, under the guidance of the First Families, are willing to fight and die for their homes and freedoms. Some of Macarthur's senior leadership fear that this will cause trouble down the line - for who knows where else the locals could turn their guns?

But the Secretary of Interior performed a rigorous cost-benefit analysis, and the math is clear. It is far cheaper for Chicago to lose a dozen Wastelanders than one American private. And so, let us salute the first battalions of our new national guard!*

This ends now. Reliant as they are on Chicago's largesse, it's time for Montana to pay up. And so the Secretary of the Interior has run the numbers, and it's time for a change. If the people of Montana want the Enclave's protection, then certain changes are in order. For their own good.*

 id### The Incident on Higgins Avenue

*Ever since the protests against Chicago's demand escalated, tensions between Enclave soldiers and the people of Montana escalated. On the night of [GetDateText], the people took action to defend themselves. Or did the mob slaughter unarmed heroes? According to some witnesses, a mechanic demanded a Sergeant pay a bill for repairing a broken radio - the officer, who claimed he already paid the bill, insulted the mechanic, and the two exchanged insults. Accounts are unclear; the mechanic, it seems, tried to punch the officer. The officer then bashed the mechanic with a laser pistol. Seeing this, civilians ran to go threaten the officer, who retreated to a nearby guard post. What followed then was a massacre, as ten Missoulans lay on the cold ground.

The First Families demand the officer be charged and executed for killing civilians. But the Enclave's officers are adamant that no soldier in This Man's army can be tried by, well, mutants.*

*And so, the Colonel, resignedly sacrificed one of her officers to the mob.

But something unusual happened. Robert Peele, one of the First Families, defended the officer at the trial. He instructed the jurors, selected from the people of Missoula, to look beyond the officer's origin, and look to what happened that night. Peele noted that the mob gathered in response to a purely private, commercial dispute - that it was an accepted right for a Montanan to hold a firearm, they were entitled to stand their ground under threat - and that, based on several eye witnesses, the mob advanced despite warnings. Therefore, the jury found Officer Hardgrave not guilty.

Although he may have gone free, the Enclave's officers were still furious. If one officer could be charged, where would this end? But for Mr. Peele, the day would be long remembered as a cornerstone of Montana's salvation. For facts are stubborn things, and the law, will not bend to uncertain wishes, imaginations, and the wanton tempers of men. And the people of Montana did not bend the law, even to punish the Enclave. A fact that would serve them well, in the decades to follow.*

*The twinge of plasma bolts fired out in the night, as the Colonel and those closest to her were killed by Special Agent Johnson. Few in Macarthur's territory realized what happened until the next morning, so tight was the Enclave's grip on the base nowadays, until Special Agent Johnson came on the radio. 'There are going to be some changes, Montana. Quotas, construction projects, taxes, labor contributions,' rasped the agent, 'all these fell behind. There is much for you to make up for, and much you will.'

If Montana has a hope now, it lies with Team October. Ellen and her unit have risen up with the support of some of the First Families to save their home. But what hope does a plucky band of rebels have against the full might of the Enclave?

 id### The Truth of the Jacksons

*Everyone in Montana knows that the Jacksons were expelled from Missoula for treason. They invited bandits and raiders to attack the fair city, and were going to burn it down before the Colonel stopped them. Their treachery is one of the many reasons the Enclave is Montana's salvation.

That story is a lie. Team October learned the truth in its latest battle with the Jacksons. The Jacksons were expelled for challenging the Matriarch's rule and pushing for the people of Missoula to have a say in how Montana was run! For their request, the Colonel destroyed their ranch, seized their assets, and drove them east. There on the plains the Jacksons' turned their business acumen and organizational skills to raiding because it was the only way to survive. To put another way, one of the greatest threats to Montana could be viewed as the Colonel's fault!

Now the Montana Patriot has the story, and is threatening to publish it. The Colonel is making every effort to stop them from doing so, but even shutting down the press might not do it. Team October can launch a raid on the paper's press before they go live, but what will they do?*

*During battle against the Storm Mongers, Team October came across what some would call a romantic story. A Storm Monger Warrior, Wind-That-Tangles, was wounded and nursed back to health by a Montanan woman, Nikki. Wind-That-Tangles fell in love with Nikki, and the two hid from the war in a cave. But perhaps there is no escaping the past, for Team October tracked down Wind-That-Tangles because he was wanted for killing a dozen civilians and sacrificing them to the Storm Father. Now Ellen Santiago must decide - will she spare the man who turned a dozen fathers into kites? Or will she punish a man who moved past his mistakes and wishes to make amends?

An easy choice, usually. But Wind-That-Tangles is the last sibling of their old Seer, Blinding Hail. There might be benefit in gaining his favour.*

To the west, Washington's hydroelectric dams provide unlimited power, and the secrets of American aviation may yet lurk in Seattle. Indeed, strange signals emanate from under that snow and fog.' There a two second pause, an eternity for the Secretary, before he continued.

'But the tar sands of Alberta may yet contain petroleum, the fuel of the Wasteland. And the environmental damage won't affect American soil, should you succeed.' A crackle over the connection, before the final option.

'And the Dakotas! The old missile silos may yet contain nuclear weapons that we failed to use against China. What better use for them than against the Midwestern Brotherhood? Return those nukes to us, and come home.'

 id### The Bizarre's Costume Change

'*The Bizarre is a marketplace of the exotic, the expensive, and the esoteric, a trading emporium based in a pre-war underground shopping establishment. Legend has it that the Monster Army which runs the Bizarre found it under four feet of snow when they heard idling arcade games. Another legend says they ate the previous inhabitants, pig farmers who they followed underground. Either way, the real horror are their prices!

Ellen and Team October journeyed to the Bizarre to pursue rumours of grav-plates that can be placed on vehicles to eliminate fuel use. But upon arrival, they faced a dilemma. The Bizarre's current master, Flab the Inhaler, long dealt fairly with Macarthur. But that's the problem; he showed no favoritism, accepting traders from across the North. But [WYR.GetLeader] had an offer for the Colonel; why not help him take over the Bizarre? How absurd was it that a a former raider gang ran one of the North's greatest trading hubs?

Normally, Team October would stay out of such internal matters. But the benefits were clear. [WYR.GetLeader] offered to give them the greatest of the Bizarre's arsenal, a stash of prewar miniguns. But any conflict in the Bizarre would destroy the Grav Plates, and jeopardize one of the North's greatest trading hubs. What does Team October do?*

 id### Steeltown Blues

*To many in Montana, Steeltown is hope for a better tomorrow - a dream that one day, Americans might enjoy the standards of living their ancestors had in the 2070s. But to others, it's a lie. Steeltown relies on refugee labour, and their demands have gone unmet for far too long. Heavy machinery crushes worker limbs. Production quotas and low salaries lead to tired, hungry workers. People who dreamed of a better life for their children Markham's plan for Steeltown to be a lie, and at long last, they've risen up. To quote Salene Crow, leader of the strikers, 'No more sixteen hour shifts, no more locking us in the factory so we can't see our family, and most importantly, Markham, no more you! We're done paying you for pee breaks and meal breaks. If you don't go, we don't work.'

[MCA.Getleader] dispatched Team October to handle the situation, but how will they do so?

Favouring Markham, who runs Montana's economy, may be the easy choice. But don't the people of Montana deserve a square meal and fair wages? And more importantly, won't crushing the workers damage Steeltown's factories, while alienating a large group that may one day prove useful?*

Slaughter. Cannibalism. The long death of the American dream. Indeed, this wonderful robotic armoured car wishes to kill itself given what befell America.

They tell of factories where workers never see the light of day, building war machines and luxuries for men and women pursuing a Great Game. And they mutter that that the handful of letters sent west are always devoid of personal details.

*Many of those who flee to Macarthur's oasis of stability find themselves in a desperate predicament. Bereft of anything other than the clothes on their back, they turn to the First Families of the Enclave for support. Each has its... complications. The First Families often extend loans to their new workers, but the refugees find them nigh impossible to pay off. The Enclave is happy to support all Montana's citizens, in exchange for a twenty year stint in the Conservation Corps.

Needless to say, many work for the Families. Which is how the latest issue arose! Some indentured refugees absconded from their, ah, supervisor with the funds he loaned and hit it big at Little Reno. They want to use that money to pay off their debt and escape early. But their supervisor claims the refugees received a loan contingent upon working for him for seven years, and they cannot pay it back.

Patrocolus, his cellmate, still held faith that the Brotherhood prevail. But what hope had they now? They shared a cell at the whimsy of men who said two traitors could partner in prison as they had not as warriors. And stared, with remorse and regret, for hours.

When the door opened, The Immortal almost laughed as the Agent struggled to fit. But he showed no response; they'd broken his leg the last time he laughed. The brute stared at him silently, and the Immortal wondered once again what was behind that mask. Was there anything at all?

They even fought together, once, at the Everest Hotel; a cannibal outpost that held dominion over hundreds of people. And while most of the stories about their relationship were false, none would deny that Elena learned a thing or two.*

 id### To Set a Country Free

*Chicago came for Team October, as many feared. They descended in their vertibirds, black as night, on the Team October base. But what a tragedy! For they found no one whom when they came. The kitchen's stew bubbled for no one; the gun racks empty, and the fuel cells drained. Instead, they found a single tarp - a recording, which echoed over the speakers of the base, and then the airwaves of Montana. 'Five hundred years ago, in a time beyond imagining, our ancestors brought forth, upon this continent, a dream. A new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. I ask you now - do any of you remember your history? Or have you forgotten that dream?

The Enclave claim to lead you - but they take your children and your crops without your consent; they pollute your fields and forest; and they tell you of an America you will never see. They now begin their Great Work, which will doom everyone but those loyal to the Enclave. I do not promise you an easy fight. But I present you a choice - to live as free men, or die as slaves.*

**Look,' said Wesson, leader of the First Families, 'We can't just execute the Colonel. She did good for Montana. She brought us roads, stability, technology.' Jacob, the Historian present, smirked and said, 'And he showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and said to him, all these I shall give you if you will prostrate yourself and worship me. What of the taxes? The refugees sent east? The civilians imprisoned for asking too many questions? You would defend the Colonel because she supplied you with \*heating?'

Ellen was silent, torn. She'd gone to her mother, the night before. Told her to beg for forgiveness, to say that she had only been following orders. The Colonel refused, and called her daughter a traitor. 'Tell them,' she had said, 'that everything I did I did for America. And I would do it again. Except this time, I would not trust my family over my country.'

Steeltown's representative, silent for most of the meeting, spoke up. 'Simply let the mob decide her fate. We can say it is a sign of the people's support, and it's not our responsibility. That way should anyone ever complain, they will write that it was not our responsibility.**

*And so the leaders of Montana's revolt asked the people of Missoula to decide the Colonel's fate. They forced the woman who once inspired terror across the North to sit before a thousand people who debated her valour and inequities, her heroism and her atrocities. The mob did not kill her - nor did it absolve her. Instead, the town voted send her away as she first arrived - with a suit of advanced power armour and a plasma rifle. Only then, after the four hours of debate, did she address the people assembled.

'Look at you. Thirty years ago, you huddled in ranches and fortified towns afraid of Metal Mouth or Lakota raids. A man was unimaginably wealthy if he had a generator for his ranch. Your greatest commercial emporium was an underground costume store, for Atom's sake. And now you have electricity, food, and warmth. Your children can learn to read and dream of something beyond an early death at the ass end of a brahmin.

But now word has come of an attack in the night. When the Lakota showed up at the ranch to take yet more crops and brahmin, someone in Advanced Power Armour launched an attack from a rear. It was over in minutes, but twenty raiders are dead, their ashes scattered to the winds. The only thing the soldier did afterwards was bandage a ranchhand, and left without a word.

*Nobody can deny Markham's economic boom, but there is more to be done. She came west because she was tired of entrenched interests in Chicago, and now she fears the same trends are setting roots in the Rockies. The First Families are in many way oligarchs, maximizing their gain over society's as a whole. Her calculations, which are admittedly hard to follow, suggest that just as the Refugees' demands were excessive, so to can you not leave the First Families in control of the economy. Only by giving decisions to an impartial ZAX can capitalism truly flourish in the Rockies.

The First Families are, of course, outraged. The Computer's suggestions are absurd. 'Is it a crime,' they ask, 'for us to use our control over the economy to work together? Is it a crime for gentlemen and women to refuse to do business with an upstart? If you listen to the ZAX, what will happen to us?'*

*Steeltown's no longer the boom town it once was - but it still retains a modest prosperity, for all its people. But now the First Families want to overturn the Workers' cooperatives which run the town. They claim that only with their funds can Steeltown blossom, and that absent Markham's leadership Montana's industry will stagnate. To that end, the First Families propose selling off what is, functionally, government property to the highest bidders. This will give people an incentive to further develop the region. The Refugees who run Steeltown, of course, are opposed. 'We did not trade one mistress for a hundred lords.' The First Families are obviously powerful in Montana, so upsetting them will have consequences. But going along with their requests will upset the people of Montana as well...''*

She shrugged, and targeted her radio. 'Looks like we'll never know who was in this bunker. But regardless, it belongs to Montana now.' For a moment, she thought of an old, prewar song. 'Paladin, paladin,' she muttered. 'So far from home. Where did you roam?' Then, after a moment, she stood up, and walked out of walked out of Patrocolus's last command into a brilliant, clear day.

 The Conductor put on something she'd been working on - a tragedy, about a family right before the war. A warrior, home from the front - a wife, a barrister fighting for what passed for justice, and their robot butler, more aware than he let on. It ended with robot, narrating the end as the couple escaped the end of all things. 'Up in the sky, there goes a Chinese plane. The last one for a while, I fear. No more planes, now. No more towns glimpsed through airplane windows, points of glimmering light. No more looking down from thirty thousand feet and imagining the lives lit up by lights at that moment. No more airplanes. Maybe their children will use them to store food in the winter, if they ever find food.' And then the noise of bombs, and silence.

Even the posters on the wall, the pomp and insignia - it all reminded her of the dead hand of history, even now choking the Midwest. She would die, but she would die making people think. And yet when she walked into [MCA.GetLeader]'s office, she was surprised. The woman was younger than expected, reading some report on her computer. 'A clever performance, really. I think I understand - the world, and our past, has been swept clean. It's time to begin again.'

Before the Great War, the Enclave and Poseidon worked on a new form of combat armor.

With the Brotherhood's defeat, the question of the coal mines comes to the fore.

We could ship some of the Bank's coal down the Missouri to Chicago, in exchange for additional weapons. Or we could keep it here for our own industry.

Despite this rising prosperity, socialist agitators striked and bombed corporate offices - perhaps inspired by Red China. Fortunately, the military was able to restore order and keep the state safe, suppressing the strikers with only minimal property damage. A happy ending, surely?

But it seesms some miners take a different tact. They claim that once again, the US Army is exploiting the people of Montana for those out east, and now the miners are talking of 'unions' and 'rights.' The Historians, it seems, have caused no end of trouble.*

 id### MALMSTROM AFB RESTORED! - Colonel Honors First Graduating Class.

*For the past few months, the Pre-War site of Malmstrom Air Force Base had been left rotten and decayed, as it had since the Great War. Readers of the Patriot may remember a past opinion piece on an unfortunate reporter who contracted tetanus whilst doing an expose on the state of the base (see "Salvaging Rusted Tank Rivets - Help or Hazard?"). Today, however, the secret operations at the base have finally been revealed, as Colonel Santiago allowed this reporter an exclusive on the base's reconstruction and its first graduating class in 200 years.

The Class of 2276 (named for the anniversary of America, rather than the current year) comprised of ace cadets, such as Airmen Newsome, Stone, and Philpot, overseen by MacArthur Air Force Staff Sergeant Torvald Wold, who had the most air combat experience out of anyone on-base. When asked for comment, Wold replied "These boys and girls have made for hard cadets, but with a couple more weeks in the simulators, and exceptionally careful real-world training in our limited Vertibirds, they should be made into air aces within the next 4 or so months. I can't make the same promise about the next class though."

Although Malmstrom was renowned for its hundreds of nuclear missile silos, and approximately 1,000 Minutemen IX model nuclear missiles, as of reporting, none of the nuclear silos have been able to be found. However, Team October reports that many mutated Green Berets, Pre-War special operatives for the US Army, had been found with special electronic keys on their corpses, potentially giving access to the illusive nuclear stockpile of Malmstrom, should or if it ever be found.*

 id### AMERICAN INFLUENCE BACK IN CANADA

*Late last week, over a video call with Windypeg, [MCA.GETLEADER]] negotiated a historical airship deal with noteworthy Canadarian [TRR.GetLeader]. A Montana Patriot present during the call reports "Her Canadarian accent was hard to follow, but her expressions once caps were brought up said it all." [MCA.getleader] ad this to say - "It is fortunate that the good Canadians(sic) have had the correct outlook to our offer."

Today, Canadarian airships were seen approaching from the northeast. Although many of the airships were of alien, foreign origin, a massive white behemoth designated the "Aurora" was a wholly American design. Colonel Santiago has designated the Aurora as the foremost capital ship of [mca.getname]'s new Chair Force fleet, to be piloted by Montanan air enthusiast Head-Full-Of-Air, Storm Monger refugee.

The sheer sight, might, and righteousness of the MacArthur Zeppelin fleet will remind all tribals, ne'er-do-wells, and other evildoers in America and Canadaria why Montana is the best slice of paradise you'll ever see.*

'You know you can't get drunk on that, right?'

'Nothing real around here,' he said. 'But we all pretend anyway, don't we? Why not me too?' The old man paused, his eyes creasing. 'So, is this a visit from the Colonel? Or the local?' He took a step back, and knocked over his Mr. Handy to do so. 'Shit, damn thing will have to be repaired now.'

 The Corporal sat down, brushing away some crumbs to do so. 'Some families asked me to check on their husbands and sons. You know, make sure they're okay, quash those Brotherhood rumours. I see you handled resource conscription, but the files don't say where, exactly, you went.' The Corporal paused. The Old Man's hands trembled, she saw. 'And you owe me for Three Forks.'

The Old Man knew little, other than clasFsified references to some project - something about an Eden on Earth. But he told them of a rendesvous point in the Midwest, a rendesvous for the riches of the North. A free town on the River League, a city called Saint Louis.

They drove through the Nebraska Badlands, past the war machines of the Reclamation Army and stopped in Fort Pierre. Something about the paperwork and rumors were odd - why did the Wastelanders need inoculations?

Still, so far, the information Team October found was innocuous. The rumours that conscripts were sacrificed to tribals, for instance, were false. And so they drove towards Chciago, with the smiling people and their cold bright lights.*

And in this gleaming utopia, she found most of the conscripts after all. The few she spoke to said they were fine, well fed, with the best medical care they'd ever seen. They lived in a barracks with heat and electricity, with hot and cold running water. They'd be rich to have that back home! Only ...

There'd been a few more, one worker mentioned. They'd been taken away for a cancer treatment to fix what RadAway couldn't cure. But the Enclave was so thoughtful they'd been taken to Saugutuck, up north, to recover.

 The Corporal played with her Pip Boy, later, as she ate in one of the dive bars that accepted Ring Pulls instead of dollars. How come there was no record of a Saugutuck?*

Sadly some of the work out West might have had long term genetic consequences. But Dulce et decorum est pro patria mor, eh?'

'I'm dying and Chicago still looks down on me, babbling in a language as dead as China' the General thought. 'There's nothing to be done? We can design the Great Work, Horrigan, and god damned Wannamingos and you can't cure cancer?' The good doctor looked at the results, making a note to add some tranquilizers to the General's coffee. The poor veteran worried too much, even now that her duty was done. 'Perhaps if you were to resign, and go to Chicago? You've served with honours, is it not time to give it a rest?' The Doctor's glasses glinted in the harsh cold light. 'Isn't it time for the next generation to take charge?'*

In Boston, the Minutemen fight tyranny at Bunker Hill once more. In the Capital, slaves worship Lincoln and dream of freedom. And today, after weeks of arguing and debate, the Rocky Mountain Conference has come to an agreement. Gone are Enclave soldiers, coal miners, ranchers, and and cultists.

LionHeart's raids destroyed vertibirds at a refueling station, stopping Chicago from organizing a quick countercoup.

And Salvatore? That son of a bitch drugged Horrigan himself, they say.

 id### The Drug Trade

*Sadly, since the death of Salvatore, the drug and slave trade has only spread in our fair lands. Moreover, without one person in control, the violence between warring bandits and dealers escalated. While we've done our best to combat it, more than one Montanan now fears the chaos that would come from any further strife. This will only strengthen Chicago's vice around the free people of the north.*

*It seems that in this small corner of America, someone will stand up to the Enclave. Farmers take rifles out of storage; auxiliaries desert their post and rally to Team October; and the First Families' mercenaries prepare for war.

*To expect anyone who served with the Enclave, even someone devoted to the rights of Wastelanders like Ellen, to support ghouls, might sound absurd. And nor were ghouls welcome in much of Montana. Who wanted a neighbor who would devour your brain?

But Lionheart's support for Team October and the Revolution changed the hearts of many. It was only natural that the new state would welcome ghouls. In Missoula and the [MCA.GetName], the definition of liberty stretches a little farther once more.*

Now her supporters travel the state and harass our supply lines. We may take out a dozen for every traitor we put down - but, lurking in the snow, is a 13th.

*One reason the Historians always had an awkward relationship with Macarthur is because, frankly, they knew too much. Pre-war America was a land of apple pie, but it was also the land of Camp Turtledove and brain harvesting. So while Macarthur would play jaunty tunes and promises on Enclave Radio, the folks who taught the importance of crop rotation and hand washing taught about the nation's many sins. A fraught relationship, to be sure.

But now the Northern Commonwealth stretches a little farther, the settlements that the Historians guard are open to joining [MCA.GetName]. But they will only do so if we agree to turn Mesora into more than just a center of the Historians. They'd like us to build a university - a center of higher learning for all of the North. And one of the topics will be pre-war America, in all its majesty and darkness.*
