The survivors were horrified to learn that connections to Raven Rock and the oil rig were lost, leaving them isolated. Īll non-Enclave personnel who arrived at the Whitespring Congressional Bunker were rounded up and shot, including members of Congress who foolishly thought that a Congressional Bunker would save their lives. The rest was left to fend for themselves. Secretary of Agriculture Eckhart, the Secretary of the Interior, and the Secretary of the Treasury, and a select few other members of the enclave made it to safety, together with a number of high ranking officers. It was available when the early warning came and the government officials - what government remained after March 2077 and the flight to reinforced locations that month - rushed to shelter. Fortunately for Eckhart and the project, the senator did not manage to blow the lid off the project. The amount of time and money spent by the Department did not escape notice, especially from Appalachian senator Sam Blackwell and his contacts. In Appalachia, the Enclave maintained the Whitespring Congressional Bunker, created with money funneled from the Department's coffers under Secretary Eckhart's oversight at a grand scale. The Enclave refers to the state established by powerful elements of the government, military, and corporations controlling the pre-War United States.
