## *Colonel John Roosevelt's Personal Logs*

###  October 15th, 2287 Colonel John Roosevelt Personal Log

It’s been 10 years now since the death of President Eden and the loss of my mentor and friend Colonel Autumn. I was only 19 years old when it happened, most of the younger ones don’t remember the time before New York and those of us who do would rather forget it.

We have made a nice life for ourselves in New York though the surface is heavily radiated the military complex under governors island is still very much operational even after all these years, from what I can tell from old logs the base was Built by Vault-Tec before the fall of the UN and it was originally meant for the UN ambassadors and New York government personal, but after the UN collapsed in 2052 the complex was repurposed into a command station for New York national guard and then shortly abandoned after the start of the great war, the whole site being locked down by the last officer before he left.

Thankfully the base was still fully stocked with pre-war equipment and MREs so we have been pretty much self-sufficient all these years, though this base has most of what we need it we still do trade for anything specifically we need with some of the settlements in the area, though of course they have no idea that we are the remnants of the US Government, if they knew they would most likely ask for help with defending themselves against the Brotherhood, but at the moment we don’t have the power we would need to take them on again in the open.

Had a surprise visit from the main Brotherhood force today but luckily they have gone right past us, probably thinking that nothing could be alive in the dead city above, Sigma Squad has been keeping an eye on their movements in the New York area and we still have some friends in the Capital that make reports now and then about their movements, though this is the first time I have seen any Brotherhood myself for about 10 years the last time was just outside of DC after the fall of Adams AFB.

A lot has happened in the last month, a new group of unknown forces is moving in from the north and has the Brotherhood in the area pulling back to more defensible positions.

The only thing Sigma Squad has found out about them is their name, they call themselves the Minutemen, from what our friends in the Capital have told me the Minutemen have been beating back the Brotherhood since they passed us about a month ago and that they have destroyed their airship.

Hard to believe that even with our advanced tech back in 2277 we couldn’t defeat the Brotherhood, but these Minutemen can, I’ll have to decide soon if it’s time for the Enclave to come out of hiding and fight with or against these new players in our game.

### December 15th, 2287 Colonel John Roosevelt Personal Log

I have talked it over with my department heads, and we all agree that the minutemen are a bigger threat than the Brotherhood and we must fight against them, in preparation for this we are getting ready to set up a forward operating base in their territory.

Sigma Squad will head north after the new year to an old military base called Sentinel Site, from what Intel we have the base was hit with one of the bigger bombs during the war and the hole area should be heavily radiated, I’m hoping like the brotherhood the minutemen have left the heavily radiated areas alone and we can move in quickly and quietly.
