The Commonwealth Institute of Technology, or C.I.T., was a school of higher education in Cambridge, Massachusetts, prior to the Great War.
Background[]
The Commonwealth Institute of Technology possessed its own experimental nuclear reactor, contained beneath the university itself.[1] After the war, remnants of the Commonwealth Institute of Technology would go on to form the elusive society known as the Institute, within the college's underground level in 2110.[2][3] CIT was responsible for the creation of the Code Defender security software; revolutionary enough that it would be in use by the Institute for the next two centuries.[4]

- ↑ Liam Binet: "Just a few high security doors, right? Controlled by cutting-edge SRB security tech. Yeah. A head on hack is the sucker play. So we go at them sideways. You're willing to help, right? I can't do this alone. Player Default: Of course I'll help you."
The Sole Survivor: "What do you need help with?"
Liam Binet: "Our core security architecture hasn't fundamentally changed from the old CIT days. The original security program was called Code Defender. Revolutionary stuff. We still have terminals running version 1 mothballed in storage. With some persuasion, I can get an old terminal to interface with the new security terminals. Enough to open doors, at least. Problem is I can't even crack version 1. So I need a good old fashion username and password, and that's nowhere to be found in the Institute. But if you could get me a pre-war admin password from the surface, I could log right in."
The Sole Survivor: "Where would I find that?"
Liam Binet: "Unfortunately, I don't know. The obvious place won't work. The CIT Ruins were picked clean years ago. But some of the admins had to live off campus. Ask your friends in the Railroad. I need those login credentials."
(Liam Binet's dialogue) - ↑ P.A.M.: "Preliminary analysis complete."
Desdemona: "Anything we need to move on?"
P.A.M.: "Affirmative. Code name Patriot requires admin credentials for Code Defender security software. Cross-indexing CIT Security Administrators with 2077 Commonwealth Census Records. Filtering by surviving structures. One match found. Bergman, Wilfred. Bergman, Wilfred registered as co-owner of Cambridge Polymer Labs. Estimated 81% chance of login credentials being located at this facility."
The Sole Survivor: "What's at Cambridge Polymer?"
P.A.M.: "Cambridge Polymer Labs, LLC had several active military contracts. Specializing in robotics. The region is currently classified as "Extremely Dangerous"."
Desdemona: "After you get the password report back here. With any luck, we'll have a game plan by then."
