It is never clear what the future holds, but in order to deal with it, a big gun is often needed. As such reserach begins into heavy weapons (T1 heavy weapons 5/5)(+5 this turn) (T2 heavy weapons 8/ 20)(+8 this turn)

 

Weapon production continues (1 stack T3 firearms)(3M & 1E)

 

New expansion, new resources. New production towards the eternal war machine.  Which ironically, involves having money. (3 markets)(15kC & 3B)

A salvage yard is established in the new district as well. To make actual protection (2B 7,5kC)

With that the concrete bunker in the rosehill park which had served as headquarters had its staff and administrative circles moved to the 

Helen C. Pierce School which would become the new capitol building for the territory. With this under the careful observation of the 5th Marines, elections are held with each man and woman above the age of 16 voting based on block for 8 representatives and a single Governor to manage the newly proclaimed territory 

[MOD] 

 

The presence of an unknown party to the south worried General Tannevega, with careful movement a small team of 4 men ((Regulars t2 weapons)) led by Lieutenant Fitzgerald ((S1 P9 E1 C4.5)) moves into place along the no man's land between the 5ths blocks and the unknown raiders to their south. Laying in wait in bombed out buildings the group aims to carefully assess and gather information upon them.

The Kingdom

2278

 

B3mYqx2.png

 

 

Another year passes without much activity from the Legion. Not that King Jonathan is primarily worried about such, it is precious time he can utilize to consolidate his position and strengthen the Kingdom's defenses as well as train up the guardforce. Nevertheless, he takes note that the effective production of supplies for his people is not increasing. With the increase in consumption the Kingdom will run into problems sooner or later. That is one of the concerns that have come up and will need to be adressed rather sooner than later. As such a new decree is called: the Kingdom seeks new sources of supplies to feed and nourish its population!

 

On the other front, the Kingdom now openly advertises its presence to the immediate vicinity. Free settlers are offered protection and freedom in the Kingdom, with a roof and a full belly and plenty of work to do to grow the community being the offers. Purpose is something the King wishes to grant his subjects.

 

2278

 

Population: 1,321 Humans

Available funds: 39,376 C

 

Actions:

 

The Kingdom sends a substantial party to the Central block of Englewood to clear the land for occupation. Fifty men and women well armed and armored (by the Kingdom's standards), flying the white banner with black stripe are to do the business. Any free man and woman they may encounter are cordially invited to join the Kingdom. Should they decline, they are free to go of course. However, they promise protection, shelter and supplies of all kind. The Kingdom only wishes them well. (Also, all T3 armor, all T3 gunpowder weaponry, all T2 melee weaponry, map in Discord)

 

Two scrap yards are erected in the third block of the Kingdom. (-15,000 C, -4 B)

Heavy gunpowder firearms (T1) are to be continued in research. (7/10 RP)

Merely 40 men and women are left that are deemed capable of performing armed duties. As such they are suitably trained in the basic principes of combat. (-4,000 C for Basic Training of 40 people)

More Civilian Grade firearms are assembled from available supplies. The growing guardforce needs that. (-3 M, -1 E for 15 T3 firearms)

 

Remainder of the caps are saved. (-20,376 Caps)

 

The Kingdom keeps an eye out for any parties that might be passing by, dangerous or friendly. At the same time, basic radio broadcasts are sent into the immediate proximity to make more people aware of the Kingdom's existence. This year, aside from the big venture to the block to the West, Central Englewood, no scouting parties are sent out elsewhere.

CAESAR’S LEGION

2277

 

 

In need of more construction space for its eternal expansion, the Legion annexes a block to the south of Fort Marquette. All in all things continue quietly for the Legion this year. Weapons are made, legionaries train, profligates are crucified, borders are patrolled. Perhaps this is the calm before the storm, however, as the military-industrial complex Cato Augustus has had to produce to support his cohort without the support of the core Legion territories approaches critical mass.

The Dragons return in triumph from the smouldering embers that followed the great inferno that had been left in the home of a so-called god. Once again, the servants of the Dragon are sent to spread word of the second victory over the second foe who had dared provoke Him, pointing to the great plumes of smoke as the result of tempting His wrath. 

 

But He also sends word that He is kind, generous, a salvation to those who pay fealty to Him. The ghouls who inhabit the Mud City are, once again, called to Congrelaz to join His host and share in the spoils of the Dragon, with Caps flowing freely from the messengers to those who do so.

Turn 8

 

(2278)

 

 

Throughout the year, scattered reports began to trickle in from the east by passing merchants or wandering wasters, initially being word speaking of the Brotherhood’s ongoing struggle against the Enclave in the Capital Wasteland. Though soon these words were no longer about the warring factions, but instead of an individual. Going by the monacer of the ‘Lone Wanderer’, many spoke of the selfless reputation the man had garnered for himself, taking charge in actions against the hostile wasteland and all-encompassing Enclave, in the end altering the wasteland forever. It was in the waning moments of the Enclave’s battle against the Brotherhood did the Lone Wanderer take charge, entering the irradiated remnants of what came to be known as the Purifier, sacrificing himself to activate the purification system within, granting clean water across the Capital Wasteland in turn for his own life. Many took on his example, spreading word of his good doings across the remnants of America and now to the Mud City. Though such stories of bravado and heroism are short lived in the wasteland, and soon the occupants of the Mud City were taken back to reality.

 

With a sickening crackle, the radios across the wastes once more sprung to life. The continuous static previously experienced across all channels had, for a time, faded away to a dull feedback loop. A few absent mutters could be heard on the other end of the input, and soon after a composing cough and clearing of a throat as well. Then, for the first time in five years, a stuttering yet established voice spoke over the radio.

 

“Listen now, and listen well. This is Elder Liam of the Brotherhood of Steel. There is no time to discuss, and less to explain. Those that have heard the stories know of the Brotherhood’s victory in the Capital Wasteland, and with it the presence of the Purifier. It is not only my responsibility-” His voice paused, interrupted by a background character as the connection began to fizzle away and was silent for several seconds. “-A similar construct, alike to the Purifier, is here within Chicago. Those known as the -” The man’s voice cut out entirely, replaced with static before returning some few seconds later. “- At O’Hare International. Join us, the Union, and-” Bzzz “-up against those that would see it for their own gain. Take back your country.” Several moments passed, some believing it to be the end of the transmission. “Ad Vic-” The signal was cut short, fizzling out before the man’s last words could be heard. 

 

And so the wasteland was once more left in a static-filled silence.

 

-----

 

Volunteer please!!!

 

At the turn of the year patrolling bots along the northern sector would first indicate an influx of potential volunteers approaching the premises! Though soon after, the signal to these bots are lost. Secondary groups of roboids dispatched to the area would find a league of uncooperative volunteers, and even some of their own volunteers being broken free from their “protective” shackles that kept them at the worksites. In an ensuing conflict, several men are prodded and zapped with lasers before the party flees north, taking with them several volunteers from the region. (-8 T2 Roboids, -15 “Volunteers”)

 

THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF DOUGLAS

 

The year is quiet for the Douglodians, and the block expansion southward is successful, warranting the discovery of a few remaining foundations worthy to be built upon. (+2 B)

 

Western BoS Expedition 

 

The forty-five men sent outward caught eye of the prosperity within the walls of the Brotherhood, much preferring that to the life of a waster they begin their own expedition. It isn’t long for them to return, though with several less in their party than usual. They speak of men to the south-east, acting like Romans from the history class, their descriptions matching that of the Legion reported from the Mojave Chapter some many years prior… Nonetheless, if the Brotherhood is to hold up their end of the bargain, the men enter the ranks of the Brotherhood as initiates. (+15 Civilized Population)

 

T H E  O A S I S

 

Sebastian is a growing boy! :happy:

 

THE PATRIARCHATE OF CHICAGO

 

A sheer overwhelming amount of firepower, the 150 men clear the block with relative ease against an oncoming horde of molerats in the region. :scare:

 

The spreading of their beliefs across the NCR and Douglodian Republic go as planned, with little efforts to deter the spread of their religion many more adopt the ways of the Patriarchate. (+1 Dev Point)

 

Although the attempts to find some degree of wide-range media do not go as planned, several men note the sudden array of telecommunications equipment propping up over the walls of the faction to the east… A complex array of antenna and dishes erects itself, standing high above the walls and any nearby buildings in the area. It seems someone is combatting the radio blockage, though their results are unknown.

 

The Apostles of Christ

 

The Apostles of Christ would begin to notice a sudden surge of alternative religious beings in their neighbors, the NCR. Seemingly, those from the Patriarchate of Chicago have by now established a wide influence over the region through spiritual means, connecting with the civilized populace within the NCR more than the Apostles could have despite their relations with the other party.

 

5th Marine Regiment

 

The means of creating a more streamlined and less authoritative regime within the Regiment goes well enough, at least to those that had joined the group following their arrival in Chicago. The original members, many military, see the creation of a democratic system within a Regiment to be a step backwards, if not entirely abandoning their original ideals… Nonetheless, having the right to vote still does well to keep them tame for now. (+1 Development Point)

 

The men to the south were at first reported to be raiders, or some degree of a non-negotiable party that attacked upon contact. However, many of the men were seen to be rather civilized, not the usual suspected appearance of raiders that were thought to be typical in the wasteland. Fitzgerald would even note the men taking on passing slavers, freeing the chattel from their binds and taking them among their ranks. (Fitzgerald - +2 Perception)

 

The Kingdom

 

The Kingdom’s men sent westward find themselves not in the usual place of combat against Mother Nature, but rather in her grace. A pack of Radstags had made their claim to the region, many of them falling to the impressive gunpowder weaponry of the Kingdom. The men return back to their capital, carrying with them far more supplies than they set off with. (+4 Supplies)

 

Eastern Brotherhood of Steel

 

The block itself is quickly taken over, not needing a secondary sweep though perhaps the added security was welcome in case of invasion from outside parties. Leading the operation, Addison is praised in his ability to clear and secure the block, gaining him some reputation among the men. The block itself warrants its own boon, as some buildings are still capable of being repurposed for the Brotherhood’s usage. (+2 B, Addison -+1 Intelligence, +2 Charisma)

 

People’s Republic of Jiāyuán

 

Linyang and her entourage venture across the wastes, and this time far further than previously attempted. The extra supplies grant them the ability to head almost across the city in its entirety, and soon Linyang spots what could possibly be the source of the disturbance. O’Hare International had been moved into, tower walls covering its every side and watchtowers almost every few dozen meters. Atop the ATC Tower the usual array of equipment and radio antennae were now overshadowed by a nearby metallic construct, atop it a massive dish rotating about standing several meters above any other nearby buildings. Although she could not see within the area on a ground level, there was little need to as the woman spotted the suspected flying object from the previous years hovering nearby and soon landing within the bounds of the walls around O’Hare. For the time being, Linyang was restricted with only handheld equipment and would require further investment, or even an established base in the region to do further research in the area. (+3 Intelligence, +1 Agility, +1 Endurance)

 

CAESAR’S LEGION

 

Curiously, the Legion would have a sudden influx of slaves despite not even looking for them. From the northwest, a group of men would be seen and promptly captured, although several did escape their grasp, many did cough up their origins after some simple interrogation. They speak of metal-men, not far to the northwest, that had promised them spots in their “Brotherhood” if they reported their position. Judging by the fact that several had managed to retreat back northwest, it is assumed their location will soon no longer be a secret...

2278

 


 

The years had gone by and had very much proved that the 5th Marines needed to adapt to survive, despite the claims of many within the ranks it would not be possible to maintain military leadership forever nor would it be practical or moral to do so. Freeing up the beleaguered General Tannevega from his civilian interests to a Governor's office proved fruitful, finally and for the first time the General had his charts brought from the tactical room to his office where behind closed doors with his most trusted officers, the 5th Marines began to plot their next steps into the wasteland, and their next actions against the cruel dwellers of The Mud City.

 

Chinese to the north, Raiders to the south, a raging war to the west and pirates to the east. In the words of General Anthony McAullife the 5th marines were surrounded and that means they were given the greatest opportunity in military history, they could advance in any direction...

Actions:

 

After much discussion a decision is made, in order to gather more information, Lieutenant Fitzgerald is dispatched, the rising star of an officer was entrusted with a special mission. After being dressed in rags and other scavver clothing his fellow marines assist him in appearing the part by making some small cuts and plenty of bruises, Taking just a pipe pistol he departs south of the block and takes the long way around to come to the eastern borders of Wilhelms band, it is here he will approach as a simple scavver seeking employment, given special permission by General Tannevega to immerse himself, he would gather information on faction troop numbers, equipment, and other information that might be gained before eventually slipping out of wilhelms territory to return to New Charleston many months later before the next year to report on his findings. ((Fitzgerald S1 P12 E1 C4.5))

{{MOD}}

 

Civilian Trader Paige Dorsey ((C6 I1))a representative from the governor's office meets with the barge captain during the landfall made at the beginning of the year, in a risky move, 2000 caps are passed to the captain of the barge promising him fair prices if something certain could be acquired.

Roleplay: 

“The West flew the whole way out here to scavenge this decrepit shithole? Seems we were right to come here.” Addison pointed to the map of Chicago, the airport circled in red with a question mark next to it. “Propose we dispatch a unit of knights to examine the area Elder?” The captain’s voice was almost drowned out by the bustle of scribes in the room as they dig up old text and discuss possibilities. 

 

A pounding sense of urgency had filled the Elder ever since the radio’s crackled. “Not yet, we don’t have the manpower or equipment to make a journey that far. Let alone have them make their way back here intact. We wait, grow, and keep an eye on our surroundings.

THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF DOUGLAS

Colonel Robert Vernon Craig endorses Frankie Callahan at Lake Meadows Park; c. 2279

 

A NEW ERA

 

The Republic of Douglas is on the path to recovery. Chairman-Colonel Robert Vernon Craig announces his ‘abdication’ of the post, which allowed him unprecedented influence over Douglodian affairs. This move comes suddenly to the shock of Douglodian citizens, who were led to believe that the military governor would continually consolidate power. Many are led to believe that this resignation came as a result of the pirate attack. However, moments later the Colonel released a formal statement which declared the return of power to the people so that he himself can focus on matters military. Afterwards the Colonel thanks all personnel that made his term in office possible and successful and concludes that free elections will be held at the end of the month.

 

DOUGLODIAN POLITICS

 

What followed was a brief period of turmoil, as prominent Douglodians consolidated support in their own bids for presidency. What would’ve been a myriad number of marginal parties quickly became subsumed, as leaders confederated and found mutual ground with their peers. Word quickly took to the streets, with Douglodian citizens earnestly declaring their allegiance to the newfound parties. The two major parties which arose were the Federal Protection Party (FPP) which championed Frank Callahan and the People’s Party of Douglas (PPD), who supported Anthony McKinney. The FPP were promoted as the party which stood for strong central government, a well financed and regimented military, and outward expansion. Meanwhile, McKinney’s FPP served as the voice of the Douglodian citizen and supported a loose confederation of the neighborhoods, the restoration of pre-War social institutions, and inward perfection and isolation from greater Chicago.

PPD Candidate Anthony McKinney advocates for strong borders at the CIT.

 

THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE

 

The following week would see minor rallies and awareness campaigns across Douglas as Federalists and the Populists attempted to garner support with the masses, followed by two townhall-style debates hosted within the Chicago Military Academy, attended by some 300 Douglodians. For the most part, the debates were civil. However, the main points of contention were cooperation with the outside world and, with the advent of new trade routes, the protection of Douglodian industry from foreign goods. McKinney cited Callahan’s hypocrisy on a handful of occasions, though Callahan’s calm and collected demeanor allowed him to weave his way around both the moderator and his opponent’s remarks. The debate, viewed by many, was deemed inconclusive in victor. However, following the conclusion of the debate, Frank Callahan was surprised by an endorsement by Colonel Craig, himself, much to the disapproval of the Populists, who believed that the former chairman should’ve refrained from political intervention. It would seem enough to tip the balance, as Callahan managed to clinch the presidency with a margin of 142 votes.

 

A PATH FORWARD

 

The transition of power is smooth, demonstrated when the now President Frank Callahan and Representative McKinney shook hands in front of the Academy. Callahan wastes no time utilizing his office and announces the Bronzeville Reconstruction Initiative, in which vital infrastructure will be brought to the southern communities in the coming years, much to the approval of his constituents and even his opponents. In a bold and aggressive move, Callahan declares dominion over the area between Douglas and Washington Park, shocking the PPD, who declares that Douglas needs to look after their own first and would be unable even to police such vast swaths of territory. The FPP defends their stance as necessary living room and space in which to expand extraction and industrial operations. Callahan’s policy is divisive among his opposition, with a large minority of FPP supporting Douglodian supremacy, and seemingly creating a rift within McKinney’s coalition before they even got off the ground.

 

With public support soaring, Callahan assesses his strengths and resources and makes his gambit...

[MOD] The newly elected President Callahan, having inherited the position of Commander in Chief of Douglas puts the Arsenal’s forces on standby. Meanwhile, the Republic sends a diplomatic mission to the people of New Eden, who they extend a formal invitation to as a member state of the Republic of Douglas, sweetening the offer with a promise of full military protection (meaning that security would not need to be outsourced), representation (meaning that New Eden could elect officials to legislature), and economic support (as President Callahan vows to develop the area from Douglas to the Parks).

CAESAR’S LEGION

2278

 

 

"All that follows is the testament of Cato Augustus, Legatus of the Legion, servant of Mars, slave of Caesar. This record shall be left for my successor, so that he may understand the choices that I have made in the campaign against the profligates of this benighted land. Eight years have passed since this cohort, battered and depleted, claimed a foothold from the weak of the Mud City from which to impose the will of Caesar upon it.

 

From the outset, it was evident that the conventional doctrine would not apply here. The Legion's exponential expansion relies on the resources and manpower of that which it has conquered before. That is why the Legion has ever expanded from tribe to tribe, from the bloody land of Arizona, to New Mexico, and to Colorado, a campaign built upon the spoils in flesh and in material that came before. Such a flow of spoils relies on unbroken supply lines and constant reinforcement - things that were lost to us as we marched here, to the far east. Here, we are all that is of the Legion. I carry the flag of the Bull, and the iron will that cannot be shaken from any true man of the Legion, but lack its physical might in the tide of blood that the Malpais Legate and the Monster of the East may call upon to drown their adversaries. I arrived with but a thousand men. Ultimately, that will be all that will be required."

Morality is a luxury that can not always be provided in the wasteland.
2279

 

The 15 civilized men are taken in. There is now purpose for them. They will never be accepted as true initiates to the Brotherhood by the more hardcore members yet they are with us still. With the radio broadcast from O’Hare though they are assigned to their second task. All of the veteran personnel are needed at the citadel to help coordinate and complete operations of importance. With new found threats, and new projects to fill the place of completed ones, there is much to be done. (I’m waging 40 hours this week. This is the best you’ll get.)

T2 Laser weaponry production. (6 M)

 

T3 Laser weaponry research. (6/50 R)

 

A research lab is built for the scribes. (10,000 C, 2 B)

The 15 civilized initiates are given some basic equipment and sent on their way to O’hare with a signed letter from Blackburn. They’re not to try and fight, their objective is to make it to O’hare safely and with the message intact. (15 t1 laser rifles, letter contents in discord.)
