The Sole Survivors went with the Minutemen into the Institute. Ruven Allen, aka Iron Man (because of his charisma, intelligence and affinity for power armor), was the biological father of Shaun. Nora is dead and the Sole Survivors will be addressed in more detail later.

In the Brotherhood, Danse and Maxson are at odds with one another at what to do. Now that the Institute is gone so is their reason for being in the Commonwealth. Unless, of course, Maxson wishes to impose his will upon the Commonwealth via the panoply of war or influence. The Prywedn, after all, is a pretty persuasive card in Maxson's deck. Plus, the Brotherhood have began repairs to Liberty Prime to bring back the power of the former Lyon Elders. Danse is the middleman between the Minutemen and the Brotherhood. (Danse's... secret has not been found out. Don't spoil 😈)

The mayor of Dimond City has been exposed as a synth and killed. The committee has yet to elect a new mayor but some suspect that Ruven will be elected. Piper's reputation has skyrocketed... in the good way of course.

Virgil was unable to get the serum for his condition.

The Railroad and Minutemen have a de facto alliance going. The Minutemen's attempts of neutrality with the Railroad potentially vilifies them with the Brotherhood.

Meanwhile, static is brewing in the uncharted areas of Far Harbor and Nuka-World. While the Minutemen celebrate, a potentially greater foe lurks near Sanctuary. Waiting to strike...
