So, can someone bring me up to speed?

There are two major story arcs going, and a third minor arc.

1.) My character and two others are rescuing a bunch of slaves from Old Man's Corner through brute force; the time for negotiation is past. The attack is just beginning, but a PC who is on the villains' side is absent, thus increasing the chances of success.

2.) A Raider attack on Liberty Island has just been fended off, but one of the PCs has just heard that the Enclave (under new management that wants to enslave the Wasteland instead of exterminating all 'muties') has just taken his family captive and made them slaves. Now, he and the second group of PCs are pondering an attack on the Enclave, based on Brooklyn, to free the prisoners.

3.) Two PCs are talking about Vault 17, the AI/Robotics Vault.
