Covenant

Covenant is a location and possible settlement in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
A small village boasting pre-War architecture founded by a group of settlers, who've made the site their home. The friendly inhabitants of the settlement are responsible for the overall pristine condition of the town's infrastructure. They attempt to attract traders to the settlement to keep it running and allow it to grow.

Sometime following the Broken Mask Incident, Doctor Roslyn Chambers and her scientific team arrived at Covenant, with the intention to turn the settlement into a refuge for people who have suffered at the hands of the Institute's synths. She and her personnel subsequently set up shop inside a sanitation area in the sewers, locally known as the Compound. From there, Chambers and her scientists attempt to discover and flush out the secret Institute agents widely feared and despised by the inhabitants of the Commonwealth.

Following the doctor's arrival, the town of Covenant developed a strong anti-synth sentiment and supports the Compound's mission of validating a psychological assessment that is meant to identify synths. This assessment is called the SAFE test and it is the focus of a continuous experiment whereby visitors to Covenant are screened using the SAFE test and are possibly later kidnapped, interrogated and killed in order to discover how effective the SAFE test is at identifying synths. Those who the SAFE test designates "probable synths" are also subject to interrogation and torture in an attempt to further refine their assessment.

The doctor has recruited the people of Covenant to assist her in her experiments on human beings. In fact, Chambers had made the village a trap, specifically designed to lure visitors, both human and synth, for the sole purpose of kidnapping suspected synths to use as sacrificial testing subjects to validate and refine the SAFE test.

Layout
Covenant is a small settlement inhabited by ten people, a Mister Handy named Deezer and a house cat named Dora. There is a large wall surrounding the whole settlement with multiple heavy machine gun turrets on small wooden platforms. Inside the wall are four houses and a small garden. The houses look incredibly intact, as if they had not been touched by the Great War at all. The Sole Survivor may comment on this by saying that all the buildings look almost pre-War.

There is a workbench in a shack near the garden. Many of the buildings may be locked at first, but the inhabitants will occasionally go in and out the doors of every building and they can then be followed without needing to resort to lockpicking. Be aware that they don't leave the room while you're inside, they may still close the door behind them and lock you in.
