The mutant bit... I'm not sure if it was decided to be cannon or not, but apparently during the Brotherhood's expansion to the east there was a crashed vertibird in the midwest-ish area... They apparently accepted even super mutants into their ranks because they were so few in numbers... (was reading the fallout wiki's brotherhood article when I read that bit)[/quote]

It was a airship the BoS refurbished to send out in an effort to find more of the old Master's Army and take them out. But it crashed and outside Chicago. It killed the original commander and the new guy stepped in and liberalized who could join his chapter and the Brotherhood.

My two votes settle for green or blue.Personally, I like green because we get to see Chicago, which is were the original Eastern Chapter of BoS crash. However this also is the area of the game Fallout: Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel (iirc) both games I don't personally consider Fallout canon because they just throw everything upside down (Much like Fallout 3, but it wasn't so... poorly done imo).

Actually, Fallout: Tactics is more canon than BoS. Tactics is more regularly referenced in Fallout 3, though the full canon of the game is unknown. It is known there's another chapter of the Brotherhood there, they have a unique mutant problem, and we can discern that because of this being noted the original Brotherhood of Steel did send a detachment in a blimp out that way after the Master's defeat.

Brotherhood of Steel is completely decanonized because not even the people at the studio liked it. One developer says he keeps a copy in his desk, not as a reminder that it was good, but to remind him not to make that game again. Brotherhood of Steel is totally non-canon.

And BoS was in Texas anyways.
