Along with several other scientists, they head for the Jefferson Memorial, the location of Project Purity. With Madison's directions, the Lone Wanderer locates James, who returns to Rivet City and is finally able to recruit Madison to help him. Soon after her talk with James, she meets the now-adult Lone Wanderer. He tried to recruit Madison in his efforts to revive Project Purity, but she refused, thinking too much time had passed. Her life was going smoothly, but things drastically changed when she got an unexpected visit from James, who had escaped from Vault 101 and returned to Rivet City.

Nineteen years after abandoning Project Purity, Madison is older, wiser and much more cynical. It was here in Rivet City that Madison first heard tales of the Institute, a legendary organization that was formed from the ashes of the Commonwealth Institute of Technology from a man named Zimmer, the Institutes's director of the Synth Retention Bureau. Madison soon became the head scientist of the group and began to grow healthy, radiation-free produce like fresh apples and pears. One day, having enough of it all, Pinkerton left Rivet City and began to live in the bow of the ship. Soon after she arrived, she began to argue with Pinkerton, as they often had different views on the matters at hand, to the degree he considered her a 'snooty bitch' who ruined his life. She headed to Rivet City, hearing about its thriving scientific community set up by Horace Pinkerton. Madison is the first distinct face that the player character sees, during the birthing scene, as she carries the newborn Lone Wanderer away while Catherine is going into cardiac arrest.Īlthough Madison was filled with sadness upon Catherine's death, her grief was replaced with a powerful sense of betrayal after James abandoned Project Purity. The Brotherhood and the other scientists also left, and Project Purity was put on hold. After James and Catherine had a child, things could not get any worse for Project Purity when Catherine died and James decided to abandon the project to keep his child safe. Super mutant attacks were more frequent and purifying water on a large scale was much harder than first thought. The project was going smoothly and even had the support and help of the Brotherhood of Steel, but soon it all went downhill. Madison hid her growing romantic feelings for James, respecting his marriage to Catherine.

Madison was a young, idealistic scientist when she met James and fully bought into the notion of Project Purity.
