A few months later, in the recent acquisition of Umbrella, the Trinity Church was finely decorated with beautiful ornaments because Franz and Vera's wedding would take place inside.
Although the church did not have much value, Umbrella acquired it to be able to join it to the system of secret tunnels that was being created under Boston, as it was a way to guarantee the rapid movement of troops.
When the nuclear war began to avoid chaos in the streets after the bombs fell.
Among the guests were the Cabot family who over time had become close with the Whittingham family, especially Rin who seemed to have a fairly close bond with Jack Cabot.
Especially with the exchange of information they had about cryptids and strange situations that were happening in different places in the United States.
One of the adventures they had together was when Rin and Jack went out to investigate strange disappearances in Dunwich Borers, after Franz confirmed to Rin that there should be some kind of enchanted weapon there.
Although they were not alone since a small group of Umbrella soldiers accompanied them, what happened in that place is not even known to Franz since only Jack and Rin returned.
The group of soldiers died and on Rin's recommendation the marble quarry was purchased by Umbrella and later closed and flooded since what lay inside was something that should not come out.
Franz refrained from asking because he was sure that it must be a demon or in the worst case a damn Eldrich, since in the game the place had been occupied by cultists.
When the day of the wedding arrived, a large number of VIP people who were invited or who got an invitation began to arrive.
Guests included members of the Commonwealth Institute of Technology's management committee and Big Mountain's top five scientists.
Robert House also arrived with actress Gilda Broscoe, as did Eric Rice with his wife.
However, the person with the greatest power who arrived at the wedding was Lieutenant Graham accompanied by the secretary of defense and the governor in power. They planned to speak with Franz after the ceremony to invite him to join the ENCLAVE.
When all the guests arrived, the ceremony began. While this was happening, one of the guests was Wan Yang, a Chinese infiltrator who had snuck in under the alias Maria Lopez.
She was on a mission to eliminate Franz Whittingham in retaliation for her company's attacks in Alaska that cost the lives of tens of thousands of her comrades who were dying on the Alaskan islands.
Because of their damn biological weapons which the Chinese high command increasingly feared would be used on their territory.
While the wedding march was playing, Vera, with a pronounced stomach due to pregnancy, arrived holding the hand of her sister Rin. Upon reaching the altar, Rin handed her sister over to Franz, and that was when the ceremony began.
Arturia, who was watching everything in silence, felt a sense of danger so she hardened her gaze and it did not take her long to locate the murderous instinct of one of the guests, so from her microphone in her black suit she informed the White Queen.
The white queen began to analyze Maria Lopez's profile and after some comparisons with databases she reported that she was the Chinese spy known as Wan Yang, who had presumably participated in the sabotage of the Niagara hydroelectric plant.
Being trapped in the place but during transportation she had escaped, Artoria upon hearing that sighed and walked between the seats of the church without attracting her attention, suppressing her presence to a minimum.
When she arrived behind the spy she only squeezed her jugular which made her faint immediately and under the pretext of helping her she was taken to the infirmary without attracting anyone's attention.
Going down the stairs from the church to the basement, a group of Umbrella soldiers took Wan Yang to the hive facilities so she could be interrogated and see what she could gain from it.
After the wedding ceremony and during the after party, Franz was invited to join the enclave, so he accepted with four conditions, in exchange he would provide resources and research means for the enclave's researchers for anything he developed.
The first thing was that he wanted to have complete control of the Boston subway and sewer system, he also wanted the right to defend the city and the surrounding area, the penultimate condition was to be able to buy or exchange technology with companies like Westeck, Mass fusion or Big Mountain .
Finally, in the event of nuclear war, the Umbrella Corporation would take control of the state of the Eastern Commonwealth, being the de facto controllers until the Enclave could regain control of the country.
These conditions were analyzed during the following days, in the end the Enclave accepted the deal from Umbrella Corporation, thus beginning a new stage in the company.
