Mod:The Bleachers/Content

Narrative and Content
500px Narrative: This mod’s story picks up right from and is driven by events in the prequel “The Bleachers: A Diamond City Story”

The player is not the center of the universe in this story. They will not be named general or have any real authority. They are an interactive witness to the story of the FSD and its members, working with them and gaining their trust, ideally b/c the player cares about them.

Overview: The Sheriff and the four surviving Lieutenants of the FSD are ex-BoS officers. They were loyal to the Lyons banner. After Sarah Lyons fell and political infighting began, they transferred to field recon assignment to escape the politics. They patrolled Pennsylvania as ordered, and became friends with a settlement, Dry Fountain. Month later, Gunners would demand Dry Fountain’s water purifier. Against orders The Sheriff and her squad remained in the settlement to fight the Gunners. They were victorious, but at a terrible cost – The Sheriff lost her arm, a girl she viewed as her daughter, and several good officers.

After their court martial for disobeying orders, The Sheriff and her squad went AWOL, stealing 2 vertibirds and a wealth of equipment and weapons on their way out. They hook up with the new Outcasts in the Allegheny mountains. This narrative is also explored in the mod if the player opts to take the path to neutralize hostile vanilla factions.

Fast forward 2 years, The Sheriff takes a job as a Caravan guard to see the Northeast. He route takes her by Diamond City every few months, where a little girl named “Lily” catches her eye. During one of her stops at Diamond City, the Gunners attack the wide open front gate. The battle is intense and the losses great, but under The Sheriff’s field command, what remained of the Diamond City security force repelled the Gunners and took many of them prisoner.

After the battle, Diamond City screamed for vengeance for their dead family. The Sheriff agrees. The next morning Hangman’s Alley get its name: every last Gunner is hung from lamp posts or executed like dogs in the streets where the repelled Gunners can see, but do nothing to stop it as detailed in this short video.

The Sheriff doesn’t know that there was a larger strategy and goal behind the Gunner attack on Diamond City. That day, among all the executed Gunner prisoners, she made herself a legend to Diamond City and a blood enemy to the Gunners and their families. This comes back to bite The Fens Sheriff’s Department in the ass for this mod’s story.

The next day, the remains of the Security Force and Mayor Henry Roberts asks The Sheriff to stay on to command and train them to be an effective force. The Sheriff, secretly eager to protect Lily (their relationship is explored in depth in the story), agrees under the condition it was an autonomous force and remained outside of the political fray by focusing on Diamond City’s external enemies. Internal security would remain the jurisdiction of the civilian security force. The Fens Sheriff’s Department was born. The Sheriff would call for what remained of her squad and the Power Armor they had stolen from the Brotherhood, their experience and the power armor would become the backbone of the force.
