outcome

The oil rig is destroyed, President Richardson and Frank Horrigan are defeated and the Enclave loses its main base. Its virus never leaves the rig. The villagers and vault dwellers live in a new city made possible by the G.E.C.K., and the rest of the wasteland continues to rebuild.

What it means

The sequel is about the persistence of old ideas. The Enclave tries to restore a pre-war ideal by violence, and the Chosen One answers by building something new.
