Season 3 Finale - Episode 23 "Autumn"

There is an old saying in the Wasteland…War, war never changes. 

Humanity’s progress was defined by our conflicts…over land…over ideas…and finally over the resources needed to fuel that very progress. 

On October 23rd, 2077, the Great War reached its climax and nuclear fire rolled across the planet.It only took a single day to wipe human civilization from the earth, nearly humanity itself. 

Our weapons had become terrifyingly powerful…but war, war never changes.

In the years since, the survivors were caught in a constant struggle against the horrors of mutation and radiation…beset by the rising tide of barbarism…and authoritarian remnants, utilizing technology from the old world to attempt to conquer the new. 

A new tune and new dance partners, but war, war never changes.

In the Capital Wasteland, one such conflict pitted the Enclave from Raven Rock against the forces of Elder Lyon’s Brotherhood of Steel to secure the technology of Project Purity and the promise of clean drinking water…and all the power and influence that comes with it.

Ending in the destruction of the Enclave at Adams Air Force Base, it appeared that yet another bloody chapter of human conflict had come to a close…again, without our species learning any meaningful lessons.

Or had it?

Fleeing the destruction, a single damaged Vertibird struggled to maintain altitude as it crossed over the broken landscape…and unknowingly headed to a date with destiny, nearly two hundred years in the making.
