We so lost karma
The inquisitors and trainers nodded appreciatively at the display. That kind of quick-thinking, unhesitating practicality, decisiveness, and ruthlessness was all too rare. He would make a good squad leader, or officer, if he lived that long.
The initiate watched without pity as they dragged her limp body away, blood already leaking from her wounds and back. He would not be sent back to the mills, nor was he executed. He had survived.

When Rad-Zombies Attack!
November 16th, 1937 HR, 2246 AD
The Rad-Zombies waste no time, within days of the first sights we've received reports that the slavers of the Legion to the South have experienced several large scale attacks in their territory. Brotherhood scribes hypothesized that several undiscovered vaults were the source of this mutation, which had been contained for decades.

The commonwealth are not spared, as they are hit less than a week later. The Brotherhood mobilizes in anticipation.

Months have passed and still no attack on our front lines, the Zombies have succeeded in driving the Legion out of Evansville and their northern outposts. But without express orders from the high elders the Brotherhood Knights remain at their posts, taking in any groups of civilian refugees that crawl into their lines.
On another front, the mysterious craft was revealed to be a pre-war vehicle, containing schematics for several pre-war technologies. This will prove invaluable to the coming fight.

Several stashes of supplies have gone missing, rumor has it that some hooligans were honoring the ancient ritual known as 'April Fools Day'. On a brighter note, the Enclave and Super mutant army have declared war on each other. How the Enclave plans to carry a war all the way to the midwest while they are still stuck in Alaska remains a mystery.

The zombies have spread in territory and numbers, but the brotherhood has not been idle. Several battalions of new infantry have been deployed around Chicago. Along with our contingent of Paladins, we are now ready to take the fight to the Rad-zombies.

The first attacks threaten to overwhelm our outpost at Evansville, but General Dekker and his Paladins arrive in time to provide much need assistance.

The brotherhood knights remain on standby, in a sort of unspoken agreement between the Commonwealth forces in the North to not set foot on their territory. However, a disturbing report reaches us of the Manitou tribes and their declaration of war on the legion. Although far from friends, the Legion and the Brotherhood had a mutual, if unspoken, understanding. The new, unknown power of the Manitou tribes makes the Elders cautious. More importantly, the legion was the lynch pin of Elder Blythe's strategy of keeping the Former USA in check while the Brotherhood dealt with the Rad Zombie threat.

December 29, 1938 HR, 2247 AD
The front lines settle down for the Winter, with no activity reported on the Rad zombies as they retreat to the ruins of Detroit. However, interesting developments have taken place in the East Coast. The Former USA has launched an armored spearhead against the Dark Cathedral cult, taking their capital in a single stroke.

Within months, all of the Commonwealth outposts in the South have been overwhelmed, with the zombie hordes pushing northwards.
Meanwhile, on the East coast. The Brotherhood remains skeptical whether or not the former USA can hold onto their advantage, considering the numbers of raiders and cultists against them, but the Manitou tribes have succeeded in weakening the pressure they feel on the southern front, allowing them to divert more troops to the north. Only time will tell whether or not the former USA can weather the storm.
