It is the year 2287, and you are the newly-designated General of the Minutemen.
Or… that's what Preston is telling you. To be honest, the Minutemen were just you and Preston. The rest of the survivors from Quincy were just a couple, an old lady, and a mechanic. Though, that doesn't discount these folks, you had to be made of tough stuff to survive Quincy and then a several-mile trek across the Commonwealth to get to Concord, only to get bogged down by raiders and saved by a parent trying to find their child.
Wasn't that a fucking doozy of a battle. Raiders, minigun and power armor, capped off by a literal fistfight with a giant-ass mutated lizard that you think has some chameleon traits, but that must've been a trick of the light.
Moving from your mental tangent, you look at yourself through your bathroom's mirror (which somehow survived the war unscathed, you're really glad you paid that renovator to renovate the bathroom like he did. You seriously wonder what happened to him, though knowing the likelihood of survival in a nuclear apocalypse he probably died) and stare long and hard at yourself.
What are you going to do now?

Done with staring at your reflection and reminiscing on the old days, you get back to work, trying to help the Quincy survivors get on their feet.
