So.. wait.

The Enclave has successfully invaded the town and are now about to storm the bar and shoot up the place. If we blow up their Vertibird, what's to stop them from immediately beginning a massacre in town, even [i]if[/i] the sheriff can get his turrets set up?

This is, in fact, proving my character's point [i]really[/i] well, by virtue of the fact that the Enclave are coming [i]in force[/i] just to find your character, and are powerful enough to wipe the town out.
