The Commonwealth was finally free of the Institute. In a combined effort between the Minutemen and the Brotherhood of Steel, under the command of Brotherhood Sentinel and General of the Minutemen Alexei Coles, the institute was breached and destroyed by detonating the facilities main power reactor.
Immediately they had set up a watched perimeter around the wreckage of the ruins of C.I.T and Sentinel Coles personally led the scribes through the facility, because she was the only one with prior knowledge to the layout of the facility and because she had wished to truly discover what had fuelled her late son's mad lust for control over the outside world. Knowledge about the operation somehow managed to quickly reach the outside sources, so in an effort to control the media leak, Coles had brought in her best friend, an investigative reporter named Piper Wright and made sure that she was the only one with any access to any new and previously known knowledge. She could write what she liked but had to send it past the Sentinel first. Almost immediately the 'boogeyman' of the commonwealth didn't seem so scary.
The knowledge of the Institutes Director and his connection to the brotherhood Sentinel also quickly became common knowledge but because she still managed to execute her long lost son, in the name of betterment for the Commonwealth, only seemed to strengthen people's opinion about her, as well as add another layer to her now growing legend.
Having reported back to the Castle, The Minuteman's HQ, the Saviour of the Commonwealth, along with her 'adopted' son and her boyfriend, she had been given some long awaited vacation time.
