propaganda enjoyer

yvette and clayton had very little interaction with each other when she first arrived to the institute with her father. clayton was busy training to become the head of bioscience and yvette was so focused on her internship with robotics, that they don’t formally meet until a few years later.

clayton becomes quite smitten with her after their departments work on a large project together. yvette was still soft spoken and shy in those days, but he noticed she would come up with a keen idea or give invaluable input... he thought she was very pretty and thoughtful despite her shyness... always tried to catch glimpses of her at lunch and talked her up when they had downtime... they got pretty close during that project and the rest is history, as they say.

yvette excitedly tells wilma that she and clayton are finally expecting after trying for so long, and it nearly puts the entire operation in jeopardy. wilma is second guessing everything but.. the minutemen and the railroad have to stick to the plan, they've spent far too long putting things in place and they cannot back out now.

yvette is 3 months pregnant at the time of the institute's destruction. wilma lets the evacuation notice run for far longer than it should, just hoping enough people got out in time. yvette and clayton make it to county crossing after being processed at one of the larger MM hubs with the rest of the institute refugees.

wilma implements a clause that former institute scientists may only stay at MM settlements if they use their expertise to help better the community. yvette assists in creating a rudimentary school and clayton works with farming technology and large scale agricultural projects. eloise is born 6 months after they agent to the surface!

while losing everything is extremely painful, yvette was born and raised on the surface and never fully adopted the institute's line of thinking so she takes a lot of the lifestyle changes in stride. clayton does not like the surface and he has many thoughts about his home and life's work being destroyed but...
