Forge an alliance between the BoS and the Ciphers

Forge an alliance between the BoS and the Ciphers was going to be a quest in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios.

Quick walkthrough
The Ciphers' knowledge of math and electronics makes them ideal replacements for the missing BoS Scribes. The BoS could send some troops to reinforce the defenses at Mesa Verde while the Ciphers can use their wizardry to repair the BoS's equipment. If the player has met both groups, he can suggest an alliance to the leaders. The good thing about the deal is that the Brotherhood won't have to deal with disgruntled Scribes; the bad thing is that all the repair work needs to be outsourced to the Ciphers and won't be done in-house.
