Chapter one: Sorrow

Capital Wasteland: 2277

Jack Hernandez was lucky. The Enclave captain wasn't present, when Adams Airforce Base was destroyed by the Brotherhood Of Steel and the 'Lone Wanderer', utilizing their own orbital weapons. But was he really lucky? Or were his fellow brethren slaughtered by the Brotherhood and their new 'friend' the lucky ones? He was out on patrol when he found out that everything he held dear was just...gone...

Taking out two pictures he wished to be dead to be able to join the people on the picture in whatever afterworld they could've existed in. The first picture was an older one depicting a proud man in his thirties proudly wearing his Enclave Power Armour. It was Allain 'Al' Hernandez, Jack's father. He had died in 2254, two years after Jack was born. 'Al' was born on the Enclave Oil Rig in 2220 and he had taken part in the long journey of the Enclave remnants led to D.C. led by Autumn Sr. 'Al' also had a brother named James. He was born in 2226. He was a bright mind and according to rumors he could've been the Enclave's next top scientist. But he was not loyal to the Enclave, which made him pretty unpopular among the top brass. When James and 'Al' died it was spoken of "talent gone lost".

On the second picture was Jack's mother Jessica standing proudly next to Jack himself on the day he graduated from "school". She came from a small community named "New Canaan" that was located somewhere in Utah, which itself was part of the "Four States Commonwealth" before the Great War. Apparently they were Mormons from Vault 70, which made them -in the view of the radical Enclave members- one of the "few bastions of pure humans" in the post war U.S. After the community made contact with the Enclave forces passing through, she fell in love with one of the soldiers helping them further establish the city, as they had fled their old home "New Jerusalem" after it had been destroyed by savages. As almost all of her family had died trying to flee that graveyard she decided to join her love and head on east with the Enclave. After arriving at Raven Rock she, along with James became Autumn Sr's apprentice and she turned out to be quite good at scientific research. She gave birth to her son in 2252, whom she named Jack Augustus after her mentor who had passed away in the same year. After Al's death in 2254 Colonel Augustus Autumn Jr. took on the father role for Jack and taught him all skills that would help him survive in the wasteland 25 years after his birth on that faithful day of the 25th of December 2277, the day Adams AirForce Base would be destroyed with roughly most of the Enclave leadership and most of the personnel. But not all of them, albeit he would not know, nor care as he had a promise to fulfill.

FLASHBACK 5 MONTHS AGO: RAVEN ROCK

"You wanted to speak with me Colonel?"

"For god's sake Jack we're in my office son" said Augustus Autumn "Sorry dad. Back to the topic at hand. You wanted to talk with me before I hit out on patrol?"

"Yes, I do. You see, since this Vaultie from 101 has appeared many patrol have gone and are going MIA" the ringing of a device interrupted the colonel "there goes another one... this has had the consequence that there are many more BoS patrols roaming around. We're outnumbered 3:1" Walking to a wallsafe he took out a key and a map. "Dad what are these for?""I fear that something bad is going to happen soon. Take these: This key is for a small armory in SatCom Array NW-07c where you can stock up on food, water, stimpacks, armor, ammo and other things and this is the map of our journey from the west coast to Raven Rock with details like the various Vertibird refueling stations." The colonel said. "Dad, where are you going with all of this? Wait... You're not sayi-""I think I am. In the worst case I want you to head there, grab as much as you can and get the hell out of here!"

I hope you enjoyed this first very short chapter. There wasn't any action in this chapter as I wanted to build up some backstory (this will probably be the case for at least the next chapter), that will affect the later chapters of this story. I'm trying to make this story canon friendly, and I will use the fallout wiki for information about characters. For example New Jerusalem and Vault 70 are from Fallout Van Buren. I have plans for the course of this story and you can take part in this story in the form of a character or place you suggest that I could accept, but I only accept serious and good ones that come from my dms.
