CHAPTER 1: New Mission

Jake was sitting by the door to the Lyon's Pride briefing room. He was nervous about his next assignment, not because he was scared but because for the first time he will be doing a mission with the Brotherhoods Elder, Sarah Lyons. She took over after the death of her father and the retirement of Isaac Thorne, the now legendary Lone Wanderer. He went on a mission with Thorne once. They were going to Point Lookout shortly after the destruction of the Enclave to establish an outpost but were driven back by the savage people living in the nearby swamps.

He spent fifteen minutes on the chair until he heard the sound of the door opening. He looked up and saw his brother Adam. ''Jake, come on.'' Jake entered the briefing room and sat at seat closest to the head of the table. Sarah was sitting next to him. She rose from her chair and said. ''All members not participating in our new mission, please leave the room.'' Three men went out of the room and closed the door. ''Jake, now that you're here we can begin.'' She clicked a button on her remote and a map of the Capital Wasteland came on the screen with a small red circle around Paradise Falls.

''As you all know, after gaining control of D.C and the nearby settlements, and securing an alliance with Tenpenny Tower, we started to send scouts to the north. After finding the slaver 'HQ' we started planning an attack plan to try and end slavery in the Wastes. But recently we found intel that the slaves are not being kept there. They are being sent north. We originally thought that there is another base.''

Jake tried to imagine the size of the compound and its defenses. To contain so many slaves it had to be large, at least four times bigger then Paradise Falls. Sarah continued, breaking his thought. ''However, we were wrong. The slaves are being sent to the city of Pittsburgh to the northwest. Our undercover agents gave us unofficial reports of a massive slaver fortress in downtown Pittsburgh.''

Soldiers present in the room started talking to one another about the fortress, not believing that it even exists. One of them stood up and spoke. ''Ma'am, this is obviously a lie. Our agents have been compromised and are being fed false information. Besides, even if it is true we don't have the manpower or the resources to start war against the slave business.''

Jake, finishing his thought, calmly says. ''We insert a small squad inside the city. Split into two teams of three. One team posing as slaves and the other as slavers. Get inside, do a recon, sabotage what we can and get out. Use the gathered information as a basis for planning a full scale invasion. Easy.'' The soldier that was still standing responds. ''Easy? Like your trip to the Point?''

Before Jake could answer, Sarah stops him. ''Enough! We will deal with that later, right now our priority is taking Paradise Falls out of the picture. Then we'll see about your plan. Jake, take Sanders, Gunnar and Lockhe and scout the place out. I'm expecting a report in week.'' Jake stands up and asks Sarah. ''What about Thorne? Why isn't he helping us?'' Sarah sat down and said. ''Dismissed!"
