Colonel Carter slowly stood up, he spotted something he had only seen rarely, Atom Cats stood out like a sore thumb next to the average waster. He was just about to walk over to her when a ghoul appeared walked up to him, a glowing one if he wasn't mistaken, rare to find one who wasn't insane. "Yes, I'm Colonel Carter, I just need a name and..." He trailed off when he heard a noise, one that he was familiar with, a Vertibird. He reached for his laser musket as it paused in the air, he could just barely make it out against the sun but it bore no colors. "It's Enclave! Everyone inside their homes, now!" He dropped to a knee as the other two soldiers with him began to fire and crank. 

They jumped from it, two people, wearing suits of power armor that looked much more like the T-51 or T-60 yet different, new alloys and sleeker design. They both carried Plasma rifle's aiming them at the Minutemen. "We are messengers from the Enclave, Diamond city has four days to surrender and subject all citizens to screening and testing. If it does not, we will march in force to seize and take the city." With that, they used jet packs to fly back up to the Vertibird. Most of the town, mumbling staring at the Minutemen, the mayor stared out from his spot in the bleachers. More than likely having pissed himself and planning to turn the town over then run back hoping for protection.

The Colonel walked over looking at the two old suits of power armor. "Sarah were gonna these bad boys up and running with some upgrades and reinforcement. As well as better armor for our people." He told the Lieutenant who began to take notes and began to figure out requisitions. "Ask that girl over their dressed like Atom Cat if she is one pay her double and get her to work on the armor." He patted the blonde shoulder, she nodded never speaking.

Moving to his Sergeant next his eyes flicked over to the armory. "George, we need explosives and heavy munitions, lasers and guns aren't going to cut it, that armor is going to be a bitch to get through. So we rattle them around and cause trauma in the suits. Start training the guards to use explosives, get them able to throw and ready missiles, then get on the horn let Elder Lyons and the General know what were doing. You and your sister are staying here while the Merc's and I scout Salem. 

Turning back to the Ghoul the Minutemen extended his hand. "I don't need anything from you now, just a promise you'll fight and accompany and you'll get five hundred cap's on the spot. Two thousand if you survive the battle's and we drive them out." He said to the ghoul before him.

Carter smirked and looked around the town. "That's right, a Ghoul is the first person to leap to your defense Diamond city. The same people you once banned from here, maybe the Garrison should be protecting Goodneighbor instead they seemed much more grateful. Perhaps some donations to the cause to get our people better weapons and armor?" He smiled sure enough they were soon collecting up caps and passing them around, Sarah collecting the pot. "Thank you very kindly." He waved to them, quite a few began to mumble about the young Colonel and some women eyed the uniformed man. 

His eyes went back to the Ghoul and he tossed him three hundred more caps. "That's for being the bravest son of bitch I've met all day and also scoring us some extra funds. You wanna buy anything or catch a meal over at the noodle stand your more then welcome to, anyone gives you trouble let know and I'll shoot them... Politely." Finished the Colonel before returning to his post by the stand. Tuning his Pipboy to radio Freedom he hummed softly along with the violin that played.
