Updating in Progress 11/3/26
Once I reach my intended chapter count, I will begin uploading the updated chapters by replacing the old versions currently available.
Important: For anyone who is reading the old version, I am giving you the opportunity to participate in the new story!
You can leave suggestions in the comments and even create your own characters. I am particularly looking for Generals and Admirals who can make decisions and influence events throughout the story. However, character submissions are not limited to military personnel. You can create a bandit or any other type of character, but do keep in mind that your character might be killed off.
For example, Generals and Admirals could be asked what should be done with Super Mutants, Ghouls, and other groups. Should they be spared, eliminated, or should some be spared while others are not?
This is an opportunity for you, the readers, to interact with the story and have your own characters and decisions become part of it!
If you are late or missed this opportunity and things have already progressed, I am not going to wait around for more submissions. I will continue writing, but you can still create a character, and it might be used.
You don't need to fill everything out, but it helps. Be creative with what you are making, as the world is massive, and the story is not going to be limited to just the US.

The main street runs past Suffolk County Charter School. Near the school, a separate road branches off the main street, similar to an off-ramp on a highway. This road curves toward the school's main entrance, providing a designated stopping area for school buses to drop off and pick up students without obstructing traffic on the main street. After passing the stopping area, the road curves back toward the main street and merges into traffic, functioning like an on-ramp.
On the left side of the school's main entrance is a parking lot where cars, trucks, and even a few buses are parked.
The sound of multiple blades cutting through the air can be heard, soon shadows are cast onto the ground as Multiple Vertibirds flew into a hover state above.
The Vertibirds started lowering as landing gear extended from underneath. After making contact with the ground, the soldiers departed from the Vertibirds.
__
I step down from the Vertibird and I fixed my Four Star General outfit and flanked on the left and right with soldiers.
(Brendon)
Breach.
They moved all at once and breached the school, I followed them in, walking the halls I see the soldiers securing the teachers in cuffs, the students are told to not stand up and stay seated, to prevent any accidental situations from happening.
A woman is brough out kicking and yelling and I look at her.
(Principal Jackie Hudson)
I am the Principal, Principal Hudson! What are you doing we have a contract what you are doing is breaking that contract!
(Brendon)
Damn you look like a pig.
Her nose is so angled in such a way that if I look long enough I might see her brain.
(Principal Jackie Hudson)
What are you saying being so rude, do you know who I am! I have a contract with the military why are you doing this!
(Brendon)
I don't care if you made a contract with the president, you are being charged with experimenting on children, you are now sentenced to death.
I pull out my pistol and fired a single shot into her head, she fell limp.
(Brendon)
Secure the teachers and start looking into them I want everyone searched, imagine it is your own kid being locked up in here and being forced on an experiment. There is no reason to be kind to them.
(Marines)
YES, SIR!
They yelled loud and moved around securing the classrooms, I look at the body.
(Brendon)
Clean this up the kids don't need to see such a pig bleeding like this get the blood cleaned up also this is a school should have a mop and the like.
The soldiers moved and grabbed her and left, I walk past and on making sure not to step in the blood to make the mess annoying to clean. I go into the Principal Office and got on the intercoms and spoke.
(Brendon)
I am United States Army General Nyxen. As of today, school is canceled and will be like that for an unknown set time.
I think for a moment as I know what is going to happen tomorrow.
(Brendon)
This school will be under US control for a week, you are all needing doctors to look over you to make sure you are all safe. You are all almost adults many will graduate soon and as it is involving you. The pink shit you are being forced to eat is a Vault-Tec experimentation.
I stop talking and let what I just said get processed before I continue.
(Brendon)
You heard me correctly, each and every one of you have been experimented on forcefully by your Principle who sold you as experimental test subjects to Vault-Tec.
I look at the soldiers near me, they look pissed and it is understandable as many of them have kids of their own.
(Brendon)
Report every symptom you have had and even report others symptoms like your friends and the like to the doctors, they arrive soon and you will be sent home after so sit tight.
More Vertibirds flew in and Doctors and Scientists are the ones that arrived this time, escorted to the Gymnasium. This allowed the students to be brought into make shift rooms and started having blood, and the like tested while they asked questions.
Hours passing by, I had the School set up as a base, reinforced the building, setting up barricades and having ammo and the like set up as classrooms are being set up as a medical, armories, barracks, and many other things. I am using my own supplies I had prepared from my own company so nobody is able to complain on what I am doing is wasting resources.
With the school parking lot being cleared out, it is being redesigned as a designated landing area for Vertibirds. Buses are being sent away as students are leaving the school after the doctors gathered everything.
(Dr, Han)
General, the Pink Paste is not deadly in the short term, but in the long term it will be. Its harmful current effects seem to be addiction. The students are showing agitation, not from stress, but more like someone who has not had a cigarette. From my investigation and testing, once eaten, the addictive effect makes anyone more easily tempted to continue consuming it.
I think for a moment and turn to my Officer beside me.
(Brendon)
Lieutenant Harper, tell the Men to gather all the Pink Paste and burn it all. You are in charge of this place and start preparing the plan, I have other places to go.
(Lieutenant Liz Harper)
Yes, General.
I nodded and leave, making my way to a Vertibird I take it and with the pilot setting off I got on comms.
(Brendon)
Pilot set off for ArcJet Systems.
__
{Location ArcJet Systems, October 22 2077}
Multiple Vertibirds descended onto the ArcJet Systems parkinglot at the front, I stepped down from the Vertibird and I made my way into the ArcJet Systems with soldiers entering first and along side me.
Walking into the building and seeing others move out of the way I found the man standing before me.
(Thomas)
G-General... I am the one in charge here is there something I can help you with?
I look at my notes on my left wrist Pip-boy and scrolling through it, I stopped and nodded.
(Brendon)
Thomas Reinhardt, contracted with the USSA for the Mars Shot Project.
(Thomas Reinhardt)
Yes, that is me.
(Brendon)
You are being arrested for concealing a reporter's death and failing to report the accident. By covering up the incident, you have implicated yourself in his death.
The soldiers moved and cuffed him as he turned and glared at a man in a white science coat. I spot him and walk up to him, he became stunned seeing me walk up to him.
While walking up to the Dr., Thomas is yelling and screaming out No, you cant do this, and much more behind me while getting dragged away.
(Brendon)
Dr. Rory McClellan.
(Rory McClellan)
Yes?
(Brendon)
You are to come with me and your family also, you are being sent somewhere else.
(Rory McClellan)
What?
(Brendon)
Dr. McClellan I also want you to put together a list and if you know where they are, any and all the people you worked along with. I need people that don't mess things up, complain and bitch.
(Rory McClellan)
Sir, can I ask what is going on?
(Brendon)
No, it is classified but do know that your life is on the line so choose wisely if you accept to have you and your family relocated I am not forcing you in this move.
He did not say anything but looked at me as I did not look away and after a moment of time he spoke.
(Rory McClellan)
I was already being threatened by Thomas.
(Brendon)
I am not threatening you, I am telling you that you and your family lives are in danger and I am trying to save you.
(Rory McClellan)
Sounds like a threat.
(Brendon)
I will not be arguing with you, if you wish to not come with me then I will leave you to your fate and leave.
I turn around and he stopped me when I took a step.
(Rory McClellan)
Wait, Sir! I will accept.
(Brendon)
Good, I will provide you a Vertibird and soldiers, take it to your house and also collect all the plans you can you are on a time of a few hours.
Rory McClellan runs off and soon cops are pulling up and taking Thomas Reinhardt away. Along with another person called Sam Brent, he is in charge of the security and help cover up the murder.
With the rest of the police arriving and started securing the area. Rory McClellan returned with the XMB booster engine blueprints along with pointing to many others in the room who looked shocked getting pointed at, out of the blue.
I had them all brought over and telling them they are being relocated with their families, and Rory McClellan telling them it is a better job along with convening them.
After awhile Rory McClellan and his team in different Vertibirds left to different directions. Destination home, after that they will be taken to HQ.
Handing the recording over to the police, I take my Vertibird to Appalachia, taking a few hours until arrival and landing down with other Vertibirds that have soldiers securing the area I step down, this fenced area with a tunnel leading deeper.
This place is a Waste Dump with radioactive barrels or that is what it looks like they are fake and some real but they are not of danger level.
I walk inside the cave with it leading into an underground tunnel system, with it reinforced with Steel I-beams to the concrete structure is an elevator, with two soldiers and a tech specialist.
(Elevator)
Invalid credentials access denied.
(Tech Specialist)
One moment, General.
He takes out a device and attached it to the access panel, using his left arm Tactical Interface or TI, sounds started producing from it and after a moment a response came through.
(Elevator)
User access updated. Welcome.
The elevator started to move down, once it stopped and the doors opened Soldier walked in first and I followed with the Tech and the Soldier in the back.
The steps going down and to the right with the wall painted with a Star half blue and black with a chain circling it and one link broken. We continue down and there are two doors one on the right and the one on the left waking into the room on the right is a kitchen like area and there is a Black man and a white woman talking and they looked startled when I walked in.
(Brendon)
Senator Samuel Blackwell.
(Samuel Blackwell)
They found me...
(Brendon)
It is not hard to find you when you are needing to be found, now Samuel Blackwell you and your daughter are to come with me, you are being relocated to a safe location.
(Quinn Carter)
Wait you are kidnapping the Senator and his family?
(Brendon)
Quinn Carter, investigative journalist... You are also an important person and would be also good to relocate. No, I am not kidnapping you, Samuel Blackwell you are correct but also wrong the US Military is still going to protect its people you included.
I look at them both before I continue.
(Brendon)
Not everyone is twisted, sadly the ones that are twisted... have high positions in the military and are also pulling strings.
(Samuel Blackwell)
Are you the good or the Corrupted?
(Brendon)
Would anyone even say the truth if asked like that?
I shake my head in amusement.
(Quinn Carter)
He is not wrong.
(Brendon)
Senator, you know of the Enclave, I am not connected to them I am also saving as many people I am able.
I stop for a moment and look at both of them.
(Brendon)
Senator, you are fighting for the people and that is a person I am willing to back up, but what I need is on a larger scale, Senator. Will you join me on helping not just a small part of the US but the whole American State.
(Samuel Blackwell)
General, I am just a Senator I cant help everyone as much as I want to.
(Brendon)
Samuel Blackwell, the people are needing a leader and you are the best fit for being that leader, you will not need to hide, you will be able to stand tall and all the fake allegations against you is not even going to get in the way.
(Samuel Blackwell)
General, you how can putting me in front of the American people fix everything?
(Brendon)
Senator, I will just say it as I am not the person to beat around the bush. I want you to become the President.
The two and also the soldiers are stunned even shocked hearing this as that is something that is not even possible.
