Adams AFB wins, so without further ado, let us begin.
"Take us to Adams pilot" you ordered through the headset provided within the aircraft, "yes sir". The flight was short, the pilot had pushed the bird as fast as he could without disturbing you and your guards. When you arrived at the base you were greeted by your air crews with a hastily organized line of salutes and ushered into the dim holographic CIC deck of the crawler, after you enter your seat in your command position you are immediately bombarded with blue popup holographic reports of multiple attacks on Enclave outposts and patrols by Brotherhood of Steel forces, Super Mutants, and Edens remaining robotic forces acting on the last orders they received, casualty reports pour in across the 'Enclave net' battle report computers in a constant stream.
The door of the CIC room opens, your few direct subordinates enter, you dismiss the stream of notifications with a wave of your hand dispelling the holograms with a hiss from the projector machine. Captain LeMay was the first to sit down and speak bringing with him a small data reel which he inserted into a slot in the Control terminal provided to him and began "Col. Autumn, Sir welcome back to AFB Adams as you no doubt know by now, we have been attacked by various enemy elements at several of our outposts, and our patrol teams have also reported frequent combat engagements with Brotherhood forces in the regions surrounding the purifier.
This newfound implies that that information of Raven rock's destruction has reached our enemy, the most likely way they gained this information through the prisoner your own detachment took in search for the G.E.C.K access code. This main theory in regard to the brotherhoods increased aggression is further corroborated by recently gained information that after the prisoner began her escape a group of Virtibirds landed outside the base and departed just after the prisoner was reported to have escaped the facility escorted by treacherous robotic security forces which have also disappeared into the Wasteland. Intelligence Captain Roberts has the rest on our enemies" Lemay finished.
"Thank you LeMay" said Intelligence Officer Roberts "continuing on reconnaissance teams assigned to the pentagon and the exiles we have noted a rapid and sustained increase in Virtibird deployments within DC these are suspected to be reconnaissance flights searching for our anti air emplacements, as well as probing for our forces in general. Other than that, we have nothing else to report." Captain Roberts finished punctuating the statement with a rap of her nails on the projector Infront of her.
The next to speak is Nathanel Dume the only elected representee of the civilian population amongst your direct subordinates a fact the others do not particularly care for. "Colonel, Edens betrayal was the worst possible outcome for our people to lose a home again while the last was still within living memory, what's more this base cannot sustain our current population for long and that's not even beginning to the incoming shortages of other amenities and housing will have on civilian and general morale. The loss of the inbuilt 'molecular fabricators' raven rock possessed will also greatly cripple our war effort in fact I would like to make a formal suggestion to enforce stricter munitions rationing, Now I am aware this may affect the war effort significantly especially now with all these attacks against us" he says rising his hands in mock surrender towards Captain LeMay as to prevent interjection. "However, should we not be able to find an alternative source of production for Ammunition, replacement parts, and rations there will be no war effort to support."
At that LeMay seemed ready to berate the man for his defeatism so you decided to step in "Well then it would seem we have our work cut out for us, so what measures could we realistically take to improve our current situation." "Well Colonel Autumn sir," LeMay spoke up evidently forgetting about Dume for the moment, "we could organize a rapid response force to reply to any major assaults on our outposts or the Jefferson Memorial, although this Certainly has the flaw that should the brotherhood properly execute a feint, or distraction they could pull this force away from its position and attack the then underdefended position, another option is we gather as large a force we can and take the pentagon. While it is likely to succeeded if we do gather such a force, we would have to leave all our bases on a skeleton crew leaving them open to attack from brotherhood stragglers, Super mutants, or hell even Edens leftover robots that are still roaming around.
Our last option in our current situation is to simply hold onto what we have and continue with our current plan of establishing a zone of control around the Memorial and the outposts, but we have already heard that plans current unsustainability" he shoots a glare at Dume "brought on by the destruction of our home. However, I will note that Sigma is ready for deployment via Virtibird at your leisure with the new PA and heavy weapons arsenal, the armor lacks most of the capabilities of our APA suits however it's certainly a step up from the X02 suits we adopted after the exodus."
"Thank you, Captain," you reply "Captain Roberts would it be possible to step up our reconnaissance on the pentagon and these... Exiles" you ask. "Unfortunately, not sir the BOS appears to have stepped up security as of late and we simply do not have either the manpower or the time and resources to train more reconnaissance or stealth teams. With the loss of Raven Rock, we also lost the means to produce the reconnaissance gear necessary for further investigation into activities at the pentagon, however the exiles are not as... nested as their virminesque brethren. Thus, they are relatively more susceptible to my subordinate's abilities." "What of the Super Mutants, and Edens remaining forces?" you questioningly interject "The Mutants are easily observable their reduced faculties make them prime targets for assassination and ambush respectively, Edens Bots however are a far harder nut to crack that they escaped in the midst of the Poisoning of Raven Rock means we will likely be forced to requisition a Vertibird for that search sir." She finishes with a sullen look
"Alright then Dume what are our options regarding these shortages" you ask. "Well Colonel on the most important matter that being food, we have a number of options some more tasteful than others, firstly we could begin increasing the amount of 'wastelander' foods in the Enclaves diet by starting our own farms for these fruits and other such items, preliminary testing shows that these foods are safe for consumption if strange in taste compared with our hydroponics grown foodstuffs. I would like to note that previous studies on these wasteland plants and animals during the Richardson administration were likely never actually conducted and if they were, likely rewritten to adhere to that administration's
particular ideological goal. Though there may be some pushback at first due to the aforementioned political stance on the foods this is my preferred option.
However, this will take time to set up and even more time to grow and harvest, we will run out of food before this is done so we need to pick a short-term option, of which I have identified two. The first of these two options are that we purchase from the locals, and yes while the risk of the supplies being purposely contaminated is present, we are not in a position to be too picky though the added bonus is that we could use these interactions with the region to build popular support for use in the future. The second option is that we could seize the supplies from surrounding settlements until we have our own farms established. Thats all I have on the subject of food for now" Dume finishes.
"Thank you all for your reports ill have our course of action decided by the end of the day, Dismissed."

Eden had made overtures to the civilians in the region through his broadcasts however aside from a few instances that was about it for Enclave interaction with the civilian populace as most Enclave forces were operating within Highly contested 'zones' of the DC area to curb the growing threat of the Super Mutants. Dume suggests that this was an error especially considering the Enclaves long term goals in the region.
