### The Overseer's Surrender

The player awakens in the Overseer's chamber, where the Overseer and other Vault-Tec personnel are on their knees, surrounded by Chinese soldiers. The Overseer is pleading for his life, but the Chinese soldiers are unmoved. The leader of the Chinese soldiers takes off his Power Armor helmet, and it is revealed that he is actually an American who has betrayed the USSA. Unless the player intervenes (which they can, although none of the NPCs can see them), the Overseer is executed. At some point, it is revealed that the Overseer's Office doubles as an escape pod, which will likely be inadvertently activated, sending its occupants into an orbit around the Earth.

At some point, it is revealed that the Overseer's Office doubles as an escape pod, which will likely be inadvertently activated, sending its occupants into an orbit around the Earth, where it loses contact with both the lunar facility and the Earth. Its occupants (who are likely a mix of Vault-Tec personnel and Chinese soldiers) are left to fend for themselves in the cold vacuum of space, but their bunker is equipped with enough supplies to last them for a many years.

After several years the Great War occurs on the Earth below, and inhabitants of the bunker eventually manage to crash land back on Earth in the Bayou. They emerge into the Gulf Coast Wasteland and interact with a settlement of Cajuns, who are the ancestors of the Bayou Brotherhood. The legend of the Moon Spirit that intervened in this Vision is passed down through the generations, and the Bayou Brotherhood eventually comes to worship the Moon Spirit as a deity.

with the cosmos and rediscover their place in the universe.

## History
### Origins
The early members of the Bayou Brotherhood are descendants of Cajun swamp-dwellers who survived the Great War. A rocket crash lands into the Bayou, and its crew is rescued by the swamp-dwellers. Those aboard the rocket tell the story of a Moon Spirit that had intervened during an attack on their space station, saving their lives. The swamp-dwellers, who had long believed in the mystical power of the Bayou, saw this as a sign that the Moon Spirit had chosen them to be its guardians. The Moon Spirit is actually the player character interacting with the past. See [The Overseer's Surrender](dawn_of_tranquility.md#the-overseers-surrender) for more details.
