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.

Alright noted, that works for me. I'm mostly planning on replacing the leadership entirely but I might grab either Allie or Madison. I'll definitely take X6-88 as well.

I guess it makes sense that they'd leave little supply caches around in the Commonwealth in case things went south; After all, they could already get a considerable synth presence around, including some spy-bird synths according to concept art.

One big supply cache more or less. They were "evacuated" out to an abandoned Vault outside The Commonwealth. They were given as much supplies and equipment as could be reasonably transported along with a backup of The Institute's archives. 

Basically this was Father's contingency plan. And was probably the smartest move he made with regards to the Sole Survivor. 


Edit: I think nomadic factions are totally acceptable.
