Drafting Docs, Bored and Want Opinions

[jcdenton2012]

While I wait for the Fallout 4 GECK I've started getting documents ready for my little mod project. This includes a large quantity of Dossiers the main character is keeping on several important people. What do you guys think about the one Sarah Lyons.

 

Sarah Lyons Dossier

OK, so I suppose its time for me to spill the beans on what actually happened to Owen's little girl. You see, the Outcasts actually managed to get a message back West to Lost Hills, and the High Council of Elders decided to send some troops back East to arrest Elder Owen Lyons and bring him back for summery execution for the crime of treason. Luckily, the Brotherhood of Steel can't keep something like that a secret considering how important Owen Lyons was to the daily public image of the East Coast Brotherhood of Steel, so I learned about what was happening through some trade contacts around The Hub.

However, by the time that this little Expeditionary Force was finally being dispatched from Lost Hills, Owen had since stepped down and allowed his daughter Sarah to ascend as the new Elder for the Capitol Wasteland Detachment. Technically, the Lost Hills garrison were now heading East to arrest Sarah for her fathers crimes, and I sort of leaked information ahead of their arrival to the Citadel expecting some sort of ambush or something where those arresting knights would be murdered and never report back... Unfortunately, the Brotherhood of Steel Capitol Wasteland Detachment tried to talk this out rather than nip the problem in the bud.

Keep in mind for this report the following, the Enclave isn't terribly vindictive. We pulled out of the Capitol Wasteland and Lyons was pretty much the only thing keeping that s#*!-hole glued together. So, of course, I was going to keep Sarah Lyons, who championed her fathers ideals, in power even if she did contribute directly to Colonel Autumns failures.

Well... when the Lost Hills Expedition finally arrived and demanded an 'Elder Lyons' head on a silver platter, Owen stepped forward to defend his daughters position while also taking the blame, though it be through some rather colorful language... and of course, the knights just so happened to pick this really bad opportunity to freak out shot him on the spot, bullet to the head and dead. Big mistake in retrospect, because then the entirety of Lyons Pride opened fire and mowed down the arresting knights from Lost Hills in a hail of gunfire.

Sarah Lyons... she, Lyons Pride, and numerous other Brotherhood agents including Rothschild went on the run as a splinter cell shortly thereafter. The young Elder Maxwell, then age 18, ascended to Elder, and in order to oversee the East Coast detachment of the Brotherhood of Steel Scribe Bowden covered for Sarah as she fled so that Maxwell wouldn't be forced into pursuing her by the High Council. It was Bowden who said that the Knights arrested Owen and Rothschild, with the bodies of Owen and the knights but not Rothschild and Sarah being found outside of Springvale surrounded by planted Deathclaw corpses. Rothschild and Sarah's corpses were never discovered officially, but... Bowden did report to Maxwell that their deceased remains were being returned to Lost Hills, after they had been executed on the spot within the Citadel, thus explaining the blood and combat damage from the prior shootout. Thus, they are assumed eaten by Deathclaws.

Back West, Elder Maxwell is considered a puppet leader... while in the East he's pretty much thought of as a superb military general. Though I will admit that this great facade of a debacle has certainly taught him a great lesson about exactly how vulnerable he is to assassination by the High Council back West. I'm not saying he's a paranoid wreck... I'm just saying that it didn't do him any favors.

As for Sarah Lyons... my last Intel report shows that she and Lyons Pride are somewhere up around Ronto fighting a mutant army. Of course, officially she's listed as dead just like her father.

Most of the Brotherhood thinks that Sarah, Owen, and the arresting knights killed one another. Only a handful of still living people loyal to the Brotherhood of Steel witnessed the shootout and know the truth, and most of those people are kept isolated from Maxson and his entourage... like Bowden. The poor kid likely doesn't even know that she's still alive... quite a pity all things considered because from what I gather... he would certainly let her back into the Order considering that the knights from Lost Hills technically violated their political orders by killing Owen outright. Then again, if he does bring Sarah Lyons back into the fold it could lead to a potential civil war within the Brotherhood of Steel between the East and West Coast Branches.

First, spellchecker, grammar, and punctuation. Second, it's a bit stark and too simple. As a draft it looks like a good start. Good luck on your project, we look forward to it.

Maybe the main character's pipboy doesn't have a spellcheck. If this is a dossier of the main character I mean, something that may be presented ingame as written by him. Difficult to feel too involved of course not knowing any of these people but looks like you have some creative ideas and a good feel for the world. mwhe said something about a draft and it does kind of seem like an outline for a lot of different events. Would be fun to play a part in it all some day. Maybe not intended but the phrase 'this facade of a debacle' kinda made me laugh, I had to say it out loud. Strange phrase.
