The Last Resort icon
The Last Resort Since her earliest days in the Brotherhood, Hayman had been considered 'the last resort,' for lack of a better term. Ruthless and efficient, she would stop at nothing to pursue her goals and restore her family's legacy.
|
| |
E Tan E Epi Tas icon
E Tan E Epi Tas Hayman's Log I knew about Honour and her ‘Sisters' long before we even spoke for the first time. The image I had of her in my mind was what people told me; a woman fit for her name. One whose few words strike the hearts of many. Granted, back then I was naive. The last good Hayman struggling to pick up the pieces after Operation: Cascade. Our first exchange was during the Chicago Enclave skirmishes. Stationed together, we spoke of ideals, futures, and values. It's funny. I knew then what everyone is starting to realise now; she was nothing more than a con. |
|
|
Operation: Cavalier icon
Operation: Cavalier OPERATION: CAVALIER Contents confidential. All mission directives authorized by Justinia Hayman of the Montana Chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel. Mission statement: Find and hunt down the traitors known as the Sisters of Steel. No means is too great. |
|
|
Going Below The Chain icon
Going Below The Chain Supplying the [SOH.GetName] was never going to be easy to start with, especially with Patrocolus' eye glancing around. Discretion in recruitment was key, so as to not provoke the bear.
|
|
Discretionary Recruitment icon Discretionary Recruitment
|
Rallying Cry icon
Rallying Cry “You don't have to like me to accept the truth,” Hayman bellowed to her onlookers; a mixture of friends, potential foes, and tools. “But know this, Patrocolus has led you here to die. With those traitors alive, going home is not an option, and he knows this—he's content with it. He would much rather save his sleep than let us have ours.”
|
|
|
Recruiting the Hapless icon
Recruiting the Hapless Hayman's Log Patrocolus won't notice us plucking initiates out from under him until it's too late. We'll need every edge against the Sisters we can get, even if we need to go around the rules to get it. |
|
|
Under Brotherhood Occupation icon
Under Brotherhood Occupation In the night, Brotherhood forces secured Hawkeye from otherwise peaceful Historians by force. No doubt retaliation is on the horizon, no matter how futile it may be...
|
|
|
The MANIFEST Facility icon
The MANIFEST Facility A strange pre-war factory lurks on the edge of the Historian's land; a tech magnate specializing in Canadian integration known as MANIFEST. Investigating it sooner rather than later is paramount, given what relics could be inside.
|
|
|
Covering Our Bases icon
Covering Our Bases Hayman's Log Caring for ourselves is paramount. Amongst our elite, they understand the subtler notions of our mission; an industrial base allotted to our ranks alone will be key to our success. |
|
|
|
| |
Resourcefully Subtle icon
Resourcefully Subtle Patrocolus won't notice every piece of hardware sneaking out from under him. He may lie about his origins—and I've let him—but at heart I know he's raiderborn. The sort that believes in discrete charity, for he too, just like all raiders, once had not even a cap to his name. In any case, it's not like these resources are going far.
|
| |
Approaching Paladin Gideon icon
Approaching Paladin Gideon Hayman's Log Gideon was always a handsome bastard. He's been said to have a heart of gold, but every heart can be made to beat in the right place. His personnel entry mentions a daughter, though it fails to mention the strings he pulled to ground her as a scribe. To hide her away with the dust of bunker archives and terminals. That can be put to use quite nicely. |
|
|
Rogue Ethics icon
Rogue Ethics Paladin Gideon is an extremely valuable asset and would truly be a great person to have on board for Operation: Cavalier. Now all that remains is to convince him of the justice in my quest.
|
|
|
|
| |
Repurposing Historians Hayman's Log The Historians, without our authority to guide them, are nothing more than a bunch of wasteful morons. Who would want to waste their time reenacting times of yore in such a dangerous world? They'll be far better kept under our eye, instead of letting them continue to bum around, wowing every passerby with their silly tricks. |
||
Rigid Regime icon
Rigid Regime “Heard a punk once say he was glad I wasn't his teacher. If he'd quit it with the sobbing over his sister thing, maybe he'd have a good Elder to look up to, too.”—Head Paladin Hayman The initiates know training under Patrocolus' more restrained, laissez-faire command, but with Hayman in direct charge, expectations are far more rigid and expecting. |
|
Ruthless Discipline icon Ruthless Discipline
|
Recruiting From Across the River icon
Recruiting From Across the River Hayman's Log Craw's Unbound aren't anything special, but they're dedicated. To what, I couldn't tell you, but they'll suffice as far as bolstering our ranks. |
|
|
Recruiting from the Cult of Atom icon
Recruiting from the Cult of Atom Though she knew they were far from good, the Cult of Atom had many trinkets and possessions Hayman found herself mildly enthused by. By force or by plea, she would set out to conscript whichever ones she could gather.
|
|
|
Capacities of War icon
Capacities of War With any batch of new recruits, Hayman thought, so too should there be weapons and armor to accomodate them. After all, an army without a uniform would be nothing at all.
|
|
|
The Industrious Paladin icon
The Industrious Paladin Hayman's Log It was pride and half-assed measures that ruined my father. To think, a Hayman so incompetent—in both his craft and leadership—to have lost his mens' trust and one of the Midwest's finest, Paladin Ahilleas, against Chicago locals. I'd rather be caught dead than repeat his mistakes. |
|
|
Blatant Extortion icon
Blatant Extortion Hayman's Log The people of this rancid hillbilly backwater call my taxation "racketeering," or they whine and cry to their mothers, calling it "blatant extortion." What they fail to realize is that if they thought they owned the land simply because they were here first, then they could not be more mistaken. Everything becomes mine the moment I want it, or the moment that it needs to become mine. |
|
|
The People of Fort Verity icon
The People of Fort Verity Tanya Kareva—informants say she once was a hired gun for a travelling doctor before settling down as Fort Verity's protector. Some say it was out of god-given generosity. Others say a mechanic kept her busy. Whatever the case, the people of Verity are aimless loiterers at best. Those who work without bark get to stay. The rest we'll see out the door. Including Tanya, the sniper herself.
|
|
|
|
||
Funding Scribes icon
Funding Scribes Though it was something Hayman scant liked to accomodate, the scribes had always been... Picky. Funding them would increase their motivation considerably.
|
|
|
Raiders & Vagabonds Abound icon
Raiders & Vagabonds Abound Plenty of neighboring raiders, mongrels, vagabonds, and all other likely baddies in the area hold onto suits of powered armor cobbled together from scrap and a simple hope that it stays together. Perhaps there was some street-level knowledge to be gained from their practices?
|
|
|
Ending Their History icon
Ending Their History “The Historians are upset we're on their land,” Gideon professed, his voice nearly drowned by gunfire that stretched near and far. “Nice observation,” remarked Hayman flatly. She took satisfaction in the waning, optimistic glimmer in his eyes. “Naturally, we'll make the land ours the hard way.” The glimmer dimmed completely. |

Remembering the Mission icon
Remembering the Mission The Sisters are still out there, doing whatever it is they think is "righteous" or "best." We've pussyfooted around long enough. It's time to continue the mission.

File:Bow 1.png
Still Standing, Even In The Face of Evil Despite Hayman's best efforts, the Standing Rock natives would not give up so easily... A new solution would have to be taken.
|
| |
No More Half-Measures icon
No More Half-Measures The natives within Standing Rock had been dealt with. Though their northern lands remained under Brotherhood occupation, the rest were allowed to retain some form of autonomy. At least, from what few survivors did remain...
|
|
|
Researching Mobilization icon
Researching Mobilization The mobilization of our research times is... Less than desirable, to say the least. We need to protect them and to ensure they can do their tasks well in order for them to increase efficiency.
|
|
|
Steel Talon Enterprising icon
Steel Talon Enterprising Hayman's Log It's clear that Marcus has high hopes for his Steel Talons. There's a braggart to him; the spirit of a boastful raider still holding onto old ways with a ferocity that I'm unsure if I despise or respect. Regardless, he has a proposition that is worth entertaining. |
|
|
Firing Range icon
Firing Range Some of the Steel Talons have opted to set up a firing range within the Four Fathers tribal lands. With it being so far out of our supervision, some of the less-than-careful Knights have decided to test experimental laser rifle optics, consequences be damned.
|
|
|
Ending the Tribe icon
Ending the Tribe Some of our conscripts gave us valuable intel: the tribe's leaders intend to meet within their capital to discuss the matters of our occupation. Too bad they don't know we'll be waiting for them.

Picking Through Scraps Though tribals and raiders were essentially the same thing to Hayman, those in Montana held her attention. There were groups that didn't just wear scrap as if it were clothes and had the strength to train and supply formidable soldiers. Of course they pale in comparision to the might of the Brotherhood, but at least we can put their supplies to good use.

What Was Left Behind icon
What Was Left Behind We were able to recover some extremely powerful weaponry from the forges of [BIS.GetName], including a crate of Gauss Rifles. We should put these to work immediately.
|
| |
Eager Militants icon
Eager Militants Hayman's Log Poetry. That's the only word I can use to describe it. These bastards'll listen to anyone who's voice booms loud enough. The ones who don't? They'll learn to, either from their friends, or my fist. |
|
|
|
| |
The Crafters icon
The Crafters The craftsmen of Bismarck were renowned within the Dakota and down the Missouri river for their passions. Making us their primary consultant would bolster our own supplies.
|
|
|
Bigger Hands on the Wheel icon
Bigger Hands on the Wheel Though she knew them to be like a neverending infestation across Northern America, Hayman did admire the strength a Super Mutant could carry. Offering extra rewards for joining the Brotherhood to any wandering mutant would be an excellent move to bolster the ranks.
|
|
|
Reporting Back icon
Reporting Back There's no more avoiding it. Patrocolus has heard enough murmurs and whispers about what we've been up to. Either he changes his mind now, or never.
|
|
Template:Select |
Justinia's Stand icon
Justinia's Stand Hayman's Log A man once told me, "When seeking revenge, dig two graves." So I'll sever Patrocolus in two. |

Exposing Traitors icon
Exposing Traitors It seems Knight Warwick has infiltrated our ranks and is trying to turn us against ourselves. We need to find his recruited traitors and snuff out this rebellion before it starts.

Contacting the Circle icon
Contacting the Circle Contacting the Circle of Steel can be, well, a dicey proposition, but if they can't be made to see it, then perhaps they're worth scourging, too. Patrocolus' actions are clear as day. He has no grounds to "outcast" me from the Brotherhood, despite however many people may suckle from his lying teats.

What Could Have Been "Oh, what could have been," he'll say as I drive the blade into his heart. "Oh, what a tragedy! What I wouldn't give to have your mercy," he'll say as I tear his gut from his person. and then, it shall be silent once and for all. |

A Shining Endorsement icon
A Shining Endorsement My work has been validated. Everything I did was for the good of the Brotherhood of Steel. It is good that Patroculus has seen reason, and endorsed my work in his name.
|
|
|
Direct Support icon
Direct Support We have received knights to aid us in our quest to stomp out the Sisters of Steel. We should put them to good use as soon as we can.
|
|
|
Garrison Support icon
Garrison Support There are rebel rifles behind every boulder and blade of grass. We should be wary of losing what we have in crushing the Sisters. Patrocolus sees this wisdom.
|
|
|
It Takes Two to Tango icon
It Takes Two to Tango Patrocolus would have failed without me in every one of his missions. The Hayman name has not been fully restored, but this is a small step in the right direction. Here’s to many more.
|
|
|
Martialling Marshall icon
Martialling Marshall The paranoid, freedom-obsessed Free Statesmen to the south are in our way, and if they're not going to listen to my words, they'll sure as hell listen to a third-degree laser burn.

Dealing with Basalt Company icon
Dealing with Basalt Company The Basalt Caravan Company was a pest within the Marshall's demesne. Seeing as they're quite proficient, there's a belief among the higher echelons that they can be utilized to our advantage.
|
|
|
Bounties of the Free States icon
Bounties of the Free States Jack Reed and his lackeys had many trinkets to spare, and were sitting on a host of caps that now belongs to us.
|
|
|
Doomsday icon
Doomsday We have finally tracked down the last of the Sisters of Steel to a hideout in the middle of Khan territory. We have no room for traitors or those who harbour them.

Operation: Cavalier's End icon
Operation: Cavalier's End And so, my journey had reached its end. We have successfully destroyed the Sisters of Steel and are well on our way to finishing our mandate. Soon we will be able to unify Montana under Brotherhood banners.
|
|
|
Fate of the Sisterhood icon
Fate of the Sisterhood Nothing can last forever. Honour and her rats have been cornered and they are long past due their execution dates. The paperwork has already been signed, now it’s time to finish the job for good.
|
|
|
A New Chapter icon
A New Chapter The Montana expedition has now been split twice-over. A new regime has to be put into place, lest we descend further into chaos.
|
|
|
The Assertive Elder icon
The Assertive Elder The greatest warriors should be given power; after all, society is held together by measures of strength. It's only natural that the greatest shall lead.
|
|
|
Elite Knights icon
Elite Knights In any form of military government, there must be an elite caste of soldiers, ones worthy of the respect that shall be accrued. All old knights shall be elevated to the rank of Elite so as to distinguish their ranking from the Knights that are to be. The exaltation of these lower tribals into our higher echelons would only serve to lead to another "Sisterhood."
|
|
Veteran Expertise icon Veteran Expertise
|
The Lower Echelons icon
The Lower Echelons A peasant class is necessary in any case of modern feudalism. A rigid caste system that prevents elevation will keep the Brotherhood as a solid entity, with a true and sensible authority.

Dakota Mobilization icon
Dakota Mobilization Machines to mash our enemies under. That's what all victors should strive for, no?
|
|
|
A Regime we can Count On icon
A Regime we can Count On Hayman's Log The Brotherhood has been too soft for far too long. Fringe cases of disregarded idiosyncrasies are perpetuated by unable morons and what do we have to show for it? A legacy of misgudied failings and half-victories. Montana, Dakota—these places are vessels for the Brotherhood to become a truly righteous place. Beyond the scope of idiots. Beyond the visions of senile old men. |

Bounties of MacArthur icon
Bounties of MacArthur With MacArthur's fall, Hayman wasted no time scouring it for whatever she could. Though few remained intact, many suits of power armor could be reverse-engineered for the Brotherhood... And with nobody to tell them they couldn't use it, well, why not?
|
|
|
The Runaway An Enclave Scientist was caught hiding under a fake identity in the middle of Havre. Thankfully, our soldiers were quick to apprehend him. Let's see if we can't discover his vast array of knowledge on advanced technologies; surely leaving him in a cell alone and unsupervised with Paladin Jacobs would loosen his tongue?

Eliminating Cults icon
Eliminating Cults Old World Gods? Old World banners? Old World weaponry that already destroyed us once? All of these things are too dangerous to be worshipped. We must show these cultists the error of their ways.

The Fist of Justinia icon
The Fist of Justinia For the first time in the history of the Montana Expedition, a new zeppelin has been constructed—the Fist of Justinia. With a loud bellow and a roaring siren, it announced itself in the night to the terror of many. Perhaps this was an omen, then, for what dark days were to come... |
|
|
Elite Scribes icon
Elite Scribes Following after the Elite Knights, an Elite caste of scribes shall be made to preside over the lower ends of intelligence among our scholars and scribesmen; so as to further our research to ends never thought possible.

Ragnarök icon
Ragnarök Jörmungandr, Hel, and Fenrir are but fragments of a greater whole: the key to Site Ragnarök. The unscatched command post of MANIFEST houses something of great importance to Fenrir... whatever it is, it will only serve to further the Chapter's ends.
