[@Mao Mao] Am I free to pick and choose who from among The Institute survived the destruction? Or is there a particular Institute character you want dead-ed. Other than Father that is.

For starters, Kellogg is dead. Most of the leadership (Justin Ayo, Evan Watson, and Alan Binet) died in the blast along with Shane (the bot). Everyone else, including Allie Filmore and Madison Li, is free for the taking. X6-88 is still around, don't know if you want them or have them remain in the commonwealth.
