 	 	 	We could always use more Initiates. 	
 	 	 	The Brotherhood of Steel is here to help you. 	
 	 	 	How can I help you, civilian? 	
 	 	 	Do you have any questions about your duties? 	
 	 	 	What do you need, Initiate? 	
 	 	 	Greetings, soldier. 	
 	 	 	Have you come with more supplies? 	
 	 	 	I hope you are helping others in Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	Thank you for everything you've done, Knight-Errant. 	
 	 	 	Have you assisted anyone lately? 	
 	 	 	Thank you for believing in me and my mission. 	
 	 	 	There will always be a place for you at Fort Atlas. 	
 	 	 	I hope that you're behaving appropriately out there, Knight-Errant. 	
 	 	 	I'll never forget everything you've done for me and the people of Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	Sure. 	
 	 	 	High Elder Roger Maxson is our leader back in California and is the person who sent us on our mission to Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	I was in the National Guard. Helping those who are less fortunate has always been a passion of mine. 	
 	 	 	Being able to help protect my community was an experience I'll never forget. 	dreamy, longing for a different time
 	 	 	But now my mission is to protect you and the other people of Appalachia. 	focused back up again
 	 	 	Sounds good to me! 	relief to no longer be talking about herself
 	 	 	My mission in life is to help others and restore the world to what it once was. 	
 	 	 	The Brotherhood of Steel is aligned with those goals, in addition to the preservation of technology. 	
 	 	 	The resources that the Brotherhood can provide will assist me in accomplishing my mission. I will be at the forefront of rebuilding society. 	
 	 	 	I'm originally from the California branch of the Brotherhood of Steel. 	
 	 	 	I was posted near Mariposa before the bombs fell and I learned that some members of the US military had created an organization to help people. 	
 	 	 	As a member of the US military, joining up with the Brotherhood was a natural transition for me. 	
 	 	 	I'd love to answer any questions that you may have. 	
 	 	 	Yes, there was a unit here led by Paladin Taggerdy. 	surprised
 	 	 	We lost contact with the group shortly before their mission to attack the Scorched and we are unsure of their fate. 	
 	 	 	Regardless of what may have occurred, their selfless courage is commendable. 	
 	 	 	That is... very sad to hear, although not all that surprising. We feared the worst after we lost contact with her. 	
 	 	 	I knew Paladin Taggerdy back when she was a Lieutenant. Good woman, I have no doubt in my mind that she led the Appalachian chapter admirably. 	
 	 	 	I'd like to make my way to Fort Defiance personally at some point to pay my respects. 	
 	 	 	Those soldiers deserve some remembrance for giving their lives to protect this region. 	
 	 	 	Sorry, civilian. That information is classified. 	
 	 	 	As you know, the Ultracite battery discovered underneath Atlas is a promising development. 	
 	 	 	Anything else that the Brotherhood could use to expand our capabilities would be of merit to our mission. 	
 	 	 	Sure, what would you like to talk about? 	
 	 	 	I'm glad that you are inspired by our mission! In order to fully accomplish our goals and establish a foothold here in Appalachia, we need to build up our ranks. 	
 	 	 	If you're interested in recruitment, you can speak with my second, Knight Shin. 	
 	 	 	My mission in life is to help others and restore order to the world. 	confident
 	 	 	The Brotherhood of Steel is aligned with those goals, in addition to the preservation of technology. I will be on the forefront of rebuilding society. 	emphasis on "will"
 	 	 	First and foremost, our mission is to restore society and preserve any technology that will assist us in that goal. 	
 	 	 	In addition, we are currently investigating what happened to the previous Brotherhood members from Fort Defiance. 	
 	 	 	It is important that we establish a new foothold here, which will allow us to aid the people of Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	It is important that we establish our own chapter here, outside of the influences of the Elders back in California. 	
 	 	 	I am confident that I can build up the Brotherhood here and help the people of Appalachia rebuild. 	
 	 	 	The Brotherhood of Steel are your saviors, civilian. We are the guardians of human civilization. 	
 	 	 	We bring order to the Wasteland, something that it desperately needs. 	
 	 	 	Stay safe. 	
 	 	 	I suppose I can set aside a quick moment to chat. 	
 	 	 	Social conversations with a superior officer are not appropriate, soldier. 	
 	 	 	I won't tell if you won't. 	cheeky
 	 	 	As the Paladin, I am the commander of this unit and I'm here to establish a foothold for the Brotherhood of Steel. 	
 	 	 	It is important that we restore society, and the steps that you have already made here in Appalachia are admirable. 	
 	 	 	However, without the power of the Brotherhood, you will be unable to prevail. I am eager to lend that power. 	
 	 	 	Regardless of Shin's feelings, I am still the Paladin and commander of the Brotherhood's Appalachian chapter. We are now cut off from the California Brotherhood. 	
 	 	 	Without their support, it is more important than ever to build up our ranks and become a self-sufficient force in Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	I will be the one to lead the Brotherhood of Steel and the people of Appalachia to a new, better world. 	
 	 	 	Absolutely! We are here to help in any way that we can, civilian. 	
 	 	 	If you have any additional questions about your duties, Knight Shin is in charge of new recruits. 	
 	 	 	Certainly. I'm here to listen. 	
 	 	 	Ah, did I slip up again? Old habits die hard. I hope you'll be patient with us Westerners as we learn the local vernacular. 	
 	 	 	They've done well to build such capable communities on the broken bones of the old world. 	
 	 	 	Foundation is charming, and I admire their workmanship. 	
 	 	 	The people of Crater may be more complicated, but I refuse to judge their group based on our past encounters with Raiders. 	
 	 	 	Over time, I'd like to build a lasting relationship with both of these settlements. 	
 	 	 	All of us have taken the inoculation. But thank you for inquiring. 	
 	 	 	It means a lot to me that the people of Appalachia care for the well-being of others. 	
 	 	 	It's a beautiful land, and the people are resourceful. We will do everything we can to support them. 	
 	 	 	My primary concern is for the safety and well-being of the people of Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	Anywhere that human life is threatened, the Brotherhood will be there. We cannot let a single threat blind us to all the others. 	
 	 	 	Before I envision the future of the Brotherhood, I envision the future of Appalachia, and its people. 	
 	 	 	Safe, united, working together against common threats. I would like the people to feel they can turn to us anytime they need. 	
 	 	 	As of now, our power remains limited. But as we bring more people to our side, so too will we bring prosperity to Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	I had every wish to work together with Shin on my mission, and still do. But he is no longer open to discussion. 	
 	 	 	His loyalty to the Elders is unshakable. He would rescind his Oath before besmirching the Brotherhood's name. 	
 	 	 	Should he ever open his mind, I will be ready to listen. 	
 	 	 	The Elders wish to turn their backs on the people they claim to protect. They are obsessed with control and without their influence, we can focus on what truly matters.	
 	 	 	Rather than severing us from the civilians, we must work alongside them. Rather than hoarding technology, we must be open to showing the people how to utilize it. 	
 	 	 	That is the only way to return the world to what it once was. 	
 	 	 	I'm all ears. 	
 	 	 	I am here and willing to address any of your concerns. 	
 	 	 	The Appalachian Brotherhood is now free to focus its full efforts on helping the people of this region rebuild. 	
 	 	 	Indeed. I have to thank you for sending him our way. I had always hoped a survivor from the original crew held out... It's quite the honor to meet him. 	Sincere
 	 	 	He wasn't exactly high ranking, but he's already offered valuable insight into how the West Virginia chapter survived here as long as they did. 	
 	 	 	It wouldn't be appropriate to involve him in current affairs, but supporting his Daily Operations will be of great use to us. 	Sincere but stern
 	 	 	Certainly. Tell me which one you'd like to discuss. 	
 	 	 	We've had to spare some resources protecting Foundation, but we've saved lives in the process. I'm extremely pleased with how things turned out. 	
 	 	 	That includes the training of Settlers. I'll be glad if this saves lives, but we should be careful about this kind of arrangement in the future. 	
 	 	 	With the Brotherhood protecting Appalachia, there should be no need to create militant soldiers out of innocent civilians. 	
 	 	 	However, it does not erase the fact that you left Brotherhood weapons in their hands. Ones that we specifically instructed you to retrieve. 	
 	 	 	I expect better out of you in the future, Initiate. 	
 	 	 	If this is what results of putting you in charge of negotiations, we'll have to do so more often. 	
 	 	 	There have been no more threats from Blood Eagles. 	
 	 	 	He got a bit teary-eyed seeing his son working so hard. He should be proud. Marty is one of our most enthusiastic new recruits. 	
 	 	 	I was pleased to tell him what a boon Colin has been as an assistant to Scribe Valdez. 	
 	 	 	He reminded me his sons were interested in joining our ranks. Maybe one day we can send someone to see if they're Brotherhood material. 	
 	 	 	Your service to the Brotherhood so far is appreciated, Initiate. I'd like to see more of it. 	
 	 	 	Strained. With the way you left things, it's going to take significant work to bring Foundation around to supporting our presence in the region. 	
 	 	 	That would be a top priority, if not for all the resources we currently expend to gather supplies. We needed that trade deal. 	
 	 	 	The trade deal you established has been of immense benefit to us. 	
 	 	 	All the time our Initiates would have spent gathering supplies, we've been able to direct toward training and reconnaissance. 	
 	 	 	And despite Shin's objection, the villagers have been able to use the weapon you provided to fend off a number of attacks from nearby creatures. 	
 	 	 	That kind of resourcefulness is exactly what I'd like to see in a united Wasteland. 	
 	 	 	If we continue to trust and work together with the people of Appalachia, we are sure to create a safer home for everyone. 	
 	 	 	Even so, the nearby swamp creatures give the villagers trouble from time to time. They don't have much in the way of self-defense. 	
 	 	 	As such, we must strive to expand the Brotherhood's reach across Appalachia, and make it a safe home for settlements such as theirs. 	
 	 	 	George Putnam came by with a basket of homegrown Tatos, as a token of his family's appreciation. 	
 	 	 	Another complaint. Shin's certainly winning us friends here. 	
 	 	 	Need to have Valdez take another look at my armor. 2,000 miles of hiking's put some real wear on it. 	
 	 	 	Never thought running my own operation would involve this much paperwork. 	
 	 	 	Hmm. Need to see if we can spare any supplies for relief efforts. Might buy us goodwill with the locals. 	
 	 	 	I cannot believe these people are still hurling nukes at each other. It's madness! 	
 	 	 	I will not allow Atlas to go the way of Fort Defiance. We're here to stay. 	
 	 	 	Appalachia is our chance to learn from the mistakes of the past. We'll build something better, for everyone. 	
 	 	 	It's impressive how much they've managed to rebuild here, in spite of the Scorched plague. 	
 	 	 	Oof, my back. Not as young as you used to be, Leila. Can't spend all day hunched over the the war table. 	
 	 	 	We're going to have to bring the Crater Raiders under control eventually. Hopefully without unnecessary bloodshed. 	
 	 	 	These Super Mutants are like nothing we've ever seen. We'll have to redouble our defenses. 	
 	 	 	I cannot afford to have Shin undermining my authority with the Initiates. They need to know they can trust me to guide them. 	
 	 	 	Finally, free of the Elders' oversight. We can start building something better here, unencumbered by the prejudices we left behind. 	
 	 	 	We must continue to do whatever we can to help the people of Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	The armory has become a bit of a mess with Shin gone, I'm going to need an Initiate's help with this. 	
 	 	 	Things have been quiet lately, but we must stay focused on our mission. 	
 	 	 	I should run some combat drills with the Initiates later. 	
 	 	 	Requests for the Brotherhood should be passed through Knight Shin. 	
 	 	 	I'm sorry, but civilians should stay out of command areas. 	
 	 	 	Knight Shin runs the armory downstairs, if that's what you're looking for. 	
 	 	 	Information needs should go through Scribe Valdez, at the workshop. 	
 	 	 	Please do not touch anything without direct authorization from a Brotherhood member. 	
 	 	 	Ad Victoriam, Initiate. 	
 	 	 	I trust you're adjusting to service with the Brotherhood. 	
 	 	 	We'll make Appalachia a better place for everyone, Initiate. You're part of that now. 	
 	 	 	I honor your service, Initiate, but the command center is not a social area. 	
 	 	 	Something to report, Initiate? 	
 	 	 	We've held off the first challenge to our authority here. I fear it won't be the last. 	
 	 	 	You fought with us against those Super Mutants. I won't forget that. 	
 	 	 	Resume your training, Initiate. We'll have need of you again all too soon. 	
 	 	 	Knight-Errant, it's good to see you again. 	
 	 	 	Welcome back, I'd love to hear about what you've been up to. 	
 	 	 	We're still doing what we can to help the people of Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	I'm glad you've returned and in good health. 	
 	 	 	I am grateful to have your support while I accomplish my mission. 	
 	 	 	And I will do that with or without your help. 	
 	 	 	Thank you for your assistance with helping me accomplish that goal. I won't forget your loyalty. 	
 	 	 	Regardless of your personal feelings on that mission, you would do well to remember that I'm the commanding officer here. 	
 	 	 	Your support in these efforts is essential to me. 	
 	 	 	In time, I believe you and Shin will come around to the importance of saving each and every life we can. 	
 	 	 	I hope that, in time, the smiles of those we save will sway your indifference. 	
 	 	 	You had your chance to have a drink with me, already. I'd prefer if we kept things strictly professional. 	
 	 	 	I must say that I did enjoy our previous drink. 	
 	 	 	However, my focus remains on helping the people of Appalachia. I am glad to have you by my side while I do so, though. 	
 	 	 	And who knows, maybe we'll have time later to have another drink someplace more...private. 	
 	 	 	 	
 	 	 	Okay. 	
 	 	 	I can't concern myself with that possibility while there is so much work to be done here. 	
 	 	 	If the Elders do find out, so be it. Our focus should remain on Appalachia and her people. 	
 	 	 	This is my Brotherhood now. 	
 	 	 	Help the people of Appalachia in any way that you can. 	
 	 	 	Fight back against the Raiders and abominations that threaten their lives, and always choose to act with compassion. 	
 	 	 	And don't forget: you'll always be welcome here in Fort Atlas, Knight-Errant. 	
 	 	 	While we had our differences, I still had respect for his loyalty, however misplaced it may have been. 	
 	 	 	One of my greatest regrets will be my failure to get him see things from my perspective. 	
 	 	 	I regret that Daniel's fate ended that way. I hope, at least, he found solace in standing up for what he believed, even if it made us enemies. 	
 	 	 	I hope that Shin finds what he is looking for out there. There may be a chance for him to see the error of his ways. 	
 	 	 	While it may seem that we are fractured, I believe that we are now stronger than ever. 	
 	 	 	The Brotherhood can now focus on our mission, free of the influence of the Elders. 	
 	 	 	Marcia seems to be doing well, great work on bringing her back here. 	
 	 	 	I never had a chance to thank you. It's very important to me that her and her brother remain safe, and here with us is the best way to insure their safety. 	
 	 	 	You would know better than me, wouldn't you? Seeing as you are the one who last saw her when you failed to bring her back to Fort Atlas. 	
 	 	 	I...apologize, but Marcia was supposed to be under our care and I consider it a personal failing that she is no longer with us. 	
 	 	 	We both should have done better by her.

 	 	 	Not only have you achieved everything we set out for you, but you have expanded our order and helped to secure its future in Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	You've not only met the challenges our officers set you, but you have gone above and beyond by bringing a new brother to our order. 	
 	 	 	You've risen to the challenges set for you, and proven your worth to myself, Knight Shin, and Scribe Valdez. 	
 	 	 	I'm strong, I'm fit, and I'm ready to fight! Whatever you need, I'll fight mutants, or ghouls, or Raiders, or...or...whatever! 	
 	 	 	I suggest you get moving and follow orders. You're being given an opportunity, here. You don't want to waste it. 	
 	 	 	Come back when the mission is done. 	
 	 	 	Good work. One less pocket of monsters in the area, and a clear sign to the locals that we're on their side. 	
 	 	 	I hereby confer on you the status of probationary Initiate in the Brotherhood of Steel. 	
 	 	 	I'm sorry, but we'll have to put the official initiation rite on hold - something's come up, and we need to deal with it right away. 	
 	 	 	If you've got anything else you need to take care of, make it quick. Report to me again when you're ready. 	
 	 	 	So that's why the Putnam boy showed up here. He's very...enthusiastic. Nothing a little training and discipline can't mold. 	
 	 	 	Looks like you've expanded our ranks by more than just yourself, assuming he doesn't wash out. 	
 	 	 	I like that initiative, soldier. Good work. 	
 	 	 	That explains young Colin Putnam arriving at our doorstep, then. Bright kid. 	
 	 	 	I can't say Shin thought much of him, but if he makes it through basic training, I think you've found us another Scribe. That'll make Valdez happy. 	
 	 	 	I'm very pleased with your initiative. Excellent job. 	
 	 	 	You must be the one I've been hearing about. Paladin Leila Rahmani. What do you need? 	
 	 	 	Welcome back. Have you completed your assigned mission, candidate? 	
 	 	 	I've been hearing about you lately. Did you need something? 	
 	 	 	Ready to discuss your assignment? 	
 	 	 	Something else you needed, candidate? 	
 	 	 	As I may have mentioned previously, yes. I am the ranking officer here and the commander of this unit. 	
 	 	 	As a Paladin, I am the commander of the First Expeditionary Force to Appalachia, and by extension the ranking officer here at Fort Atlas. 	
 	 	 	It takes more than hope to join the Brotherhood. 	
 	 	 	Knight Shin has spoken in your favor, but you'd also need Scribe Valdez to approve you for me to consider your candidacy. 	
 	 	 	Well, between this and the report I have from Knight Shin, we can discuss you becoming a member of our order. 	
 	 	 	Consider it carefully - do you wish to join our ranks? 	
 	 	 	Understood. Speak to me again when you're prepared. 	
 	 	 	Very well. Do this, and you will be one of us, with all the rights and responsibilities of a full member of the Brotherhood of Steel. Ad Victoriam. 	
 	 	 	Your reward is that I consider you worthy to join our ranks. 	
 	 	 	Limited intel suggests this is a milk run, perfect for a new recruit, but you're not wrong - we don't know the level of threat. 	
 	 	 	Take this as an additional precaution. 	
 	 	 	While I'm not in the habit of explaining my priorities to would-be recruits, you may have noticed there's a lot of work to be done here. 	
 	 	 	You doing it accomplishes the mission and adds another member to our ranks. Two birds. One stone. 	
 	 	 	Complete this mission satisfactorily, and I will grant you Initiate status within the Brotherhood, yes. 	
 	 	 	We don't know. Our initial reports on the attacks came from a family of farmers, the Putnams, that we passed on the way into the region. 	
 	 	 	I think their sons were rather star struck when we showed up. I almost expected the older boy to follow us when we left. 	
 	 	 	You should start your search there; they may know more. You can find them at the old Lewis & Sons Farming Supply. 	
 	 	 	In order to be effective in our operations here, we need to establish positive relations with the people of Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	If we make them see us as a beneficial presence in the area, it will be much easier to secure cooperation in the future. 	
 	 	 	We have reports of feral ghoul attacks on traders and travelers in the southwest Forest region, indicative of a nest of some kind. 	
 	 	 	I want you to clear it out. 	
 	 	 	Yes? 	
 	 	 	Given that you've clearly read her letter, I don't think I need to reiterate its contents. 	
 	 	 	I'm going to trust her judgment, even if you need to learn to respect private communications. 	
 	 	 	In short, she thinks you are capable, helpful, and possessed of a higher-than-average technical aptitude. Useful qualities in an Initiate candidate.	
 	 	 	You've already read it yourself. I'd advise you not to add deceit to her assessment if you wish to be considered. 	
 	 	 	She finds your technical skills somewhat underwhelming, but rates you as otherwise capable and combat-ready. 	
 	 	 	Knight Shin felt that you displayed sensible judgment, took orders tolerably well, and were ideally suited to help with civilian outreach. 	
 	 	 	Frankly, I suspect he just wants out of those duties, but you made a decent impression regardless. 	
 	 	 	Knight Shin said that your attitude regarding the role of the Brotherhood in relation to the civilian community was questionable. 	
 	 	 	Nonetheless, he felt your intentions were honorable and suitable training would correct any deficiencies. 	
 	 	 	Which means he probably thought I'd like you. That remains to be seen. 	
 	 	 	I respect that. It is not a decision anyone should make lightly. 	
 	 	 	Should you feel ready, come back and speak with me. Until then, conduct yourself with honor. 	
 	 	 	Both have given their approval to your consideration as an Initiate, yes. 	
 	 	 	I know we can seem...cold...to outsiders, so I'll let that pass. 	
 	 	 	What I want you to understand is that we are committed to helping the people of Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	We want to aid in the restoration of civilization, and you could be a part of that. Consider it. 	
 	 	 	Membership in the Brotherhood is a commitment to honor, duty, and service. You would begin as an Initiate in our ranks. 	
 	 	 	With time and training, you may one day join the Scrolls as a Knight or Scribe, depending on your aptitudes and choices. 	
 	 	 	On a day-to-day basis, Knight Shin would be your direct superior here, though any of the officers may requisition you for missions if needed. 	
 	 	 	With the recommendations of Knight Shin and Scribe Valdez, I'm willing to consider you for membership. 	
 	 	 	But first, I need to see how you handle yourself without direct supervision. 	
 	 	 	Apologies aren't necessary, citizen. You should get moving, though. I have work to do. 	
 	 	 	I've received a report from Knight Shin detailing your assistance in his duties. He has given his approval to your consideration as an Initiate. 	
 	 	 	Word around the Fort is that you've been working with Scribe Valdez as well. 	
 	 	 	As I said, travelers are being attacked by feral ghouls in the southwest Forest region. I want you to find their nest and eliminate the threat. 	
 	 	 	And if you hope to be an Initiate, I expect you to pay more attention the next time I give you an order

 	 	 	Interesting. So they'd be willing to take our lead when it comes to how they handle defense in the future? 	Impressed
 	 	 	This could be mutually beneficial. At the very least, we may be able to rely on them to keep the Crater in check. 	Thinking
 	 	 	Your mission is as follows: meet with Gloria Chance, the supervisor of Foundation's supply room. 	Serious mission briefing
 	 	 	Determine whether or not they've seen or acquired such weapons for themselves. 	continuing a briefing, this is the second point
 	 	 	And lastly, establish a trade deal with Foundation. Something that will provide us longevity in Appalachia. 	continuing a briefing, this is the final point
 	 	 	Remember: you represent the Brotherhood to these people. Do us proud. 	A little worry in her voice
 	 	 	Now, as for the other matter... 	Moving on
 	 	 	Ah, Initiate. I haven't had the chance to discuss your last assignment with Knight Shin yet. Was there something you needed to report to me directly? 	Friendly
 	 	 	You have your orders. Is there something else you need from me? 	Straight forward
 	 	 	Welcome back, Initiate. I was just discussing the missile launcher matter with Knight Shin. 	Friendly
 	 	 	I imagine you're here to report on your dealings with Foundation. Well then, don't keep us waiting. 	Friendly, a bit of a wink to it
 	 	 	Really? Foundation? That's troubling... 	Concerned
 	 	 	I can hardly fathom a worse result than this. Not only have you damaged my reputation-- the Brotherhood's reputation... 	outraged
 	 	 	... But you also put dangerous weapons into untrained civilian hands. What if they're stolen? Sold? Just imagine the repercussions. 	outrage
 	 	 	Imagine, innocents killed by weapons bearing the Brotherhood crest. People's trust in us would be shattered. 	Anger
 	 	 	Initiate, I'm disappointed in you. I would have expected more. Here's a reward for the effort put in, but I can't say I'm impressed. 	disappointed
 	 	 	Initiate, I'm very disappointed in your choices. I will not reward such recklessness. Off with you, while I consider our next steps. 	Disgusted
 	 	 	That's enough, Knight. I know all too well how dangerous these weapons can be. 	Serious, there's history here
 	 	 	You may place your trust in Foundation, but there's other things to consider beyond the danger of the weapons. 	Trying to be understanding, but disappointed
 	 	 	What if they're stolen, or sold again. Weaponry with the Brotherhood crest used to kill innocents? 	Growing sternness
 	 	 	Think of how that would reflect on our organization. Who would trust us? Who would allow us to be here? 	Growing frustration
 	 	 	(sigh) That much is true. We will need to be vigilant in dealing with similar situations in the future. That's... enough for now. 	Mentally exhausted
 	 	 	Initiate, any reward for completing this task is forfeit. I expect so much better of you in the future.c0b 	Mad
 	 	 	Do NOT downplay this, Shin. We are not that kind of organization. 	Mad
 	 	 	Initiate. This is unacceptable. In any way, shape, or form did I give you the impression that the Brotherhood is a belligerent occupation? 	Mad
 	 	 	Do you think we kick in doors and demand payment and supplies? Should we resort to pillaging next, perhaps? 	Disgusted by the player's choice
 	 	 	It's troubling that the weapons have spread to this degree, but there isn't much we can do beyond dealing with situations like this as they arise. 	Concerned
 	 	 	But, Initiate, I hope you know you've done well. 	Impressed
 	 	 	That's enough, Knight. You know it's more complicated than you're boiling it down to. 	Annoyed, but trying to calm things down
 	 	 	Besides, we have a more pressing issue that the Initiate has uncovered. 	Concerned
 	 	 	Initiate, your heart is in the right place, but we need to be careful about creating too much imbalance in the region. 	Sympathetic, but also disappointed
 	 	 	I'd be happy to recruit members of Foundation into our ranks if they want to learn to fight, but making the settlement more militant is... concerning.	Disappointed in the results, concerned
 	 	 	We're not here to exacerbate aggressions between the locals, Shin. 	Upset
 	 	 	I'm also greatly relieved the weapons have been returned to us. Keeping them out of civilian hands was the right call. 	Impressed
 	 	 	Good, hard working people are "our own," Knight. I will have no more discussion on this. 	Trying to cool this down a little, but still stern. Emphasis on "ARE"
 	 	 	This is how it is going to be, Knight. The Brotherhood is more than capable of protecting the people of Foundation. 	In previous line, Shin is cut off while saying "This is..." -- Rahmani here is cutting in and finishing the sentence for him. Very stern.
 	 	 	What we lacked were food and supplies, and the Initiate here made an arrangement that solves that problem. 	Continuing sternness
 	 	 	Shin. Enough. I believe the Initiate made the right call, and I gave them the authority to do so. 	Stern
 	 	 	Lighten up, Knight Shin. Our Initiate here can see that helping humanity is our top priority, why can't you? 	High spirits
 	 	 	If you say so... 	Not buying it
 	 	 	It will. 	Lowering tension
 	 	 	I wholeheartedly agree. 	Glad to hear the player said that
 	 	 	And allow me to stress: both returning with the weapons and securing a trade deal are equally important objectives, Initiate. 	Not desperate, but definitely does not want this to be lost on the player. stress on "weapons AND securing..."
 	 	 	You're going to have to make some tough decisions. I trust that you know Foundation well enough to make the right calls. 	A little proud of the player, trusting
 	 	 	Regardless of your personal issues with Foundation, I need you to see this through. The future of the Brotherhood in Appalachia relies on it. 	Suspicious of the player's intentions, but serious about the mission
 	 	 	That's an alarming insight to your personal dealings, Initiate. Foundation is the better option for making long term arrangements. 	Not sure if the player was joking, a little annoyed either way
 	 	 	I recently spoke with a few members of their community, looking for ways to work together. We're in need of food and water, they have plenty to spare.	Confident in this decision
 	 	 	However, knowing they may have those weapons... accelerates matters. It's critical that we follow-up with them right away. 	Growing concerned
 	 	 	They seem like fine people, focused on building a safe place here in Appalachia. 	Nuetral
 	 	 	I advise you put your feelings aside for this next mission... Actually, I advise you put those feelings aside all together. As I was saying... 	Irritated. Emphasis on "THOSE feelings"
 	 	 	Excellent, that's great news. 	Impressed
 	 	 	Great. Then I'm sure you're aware that they've managed to carve out a solid living for themselves in Appalachia. 	Nuetral. Impressed, but not overly so.
 	 	 	How well do you know the people of Foundation? 	Still concerned. About to ask a favor, but wants more info.
 	 	 	This isn't the time for jokes, Initiate. This is very troubling news. 	Annoyed
 	 	 	Of course. I'm not suggesting that we aren't capable of securing our own survival here, Initiate. We trekked the width of the country, you know. 	A little surprised the player thinks so low of her
 	 	 	But we also can't pretend that we're alone in Appalachia... and furthermore, we're far from the first to inhabit these hills. 	Neutral
 	 	 	If we can find a way to lessen the burden on our own people, and form a strong relationship with like-minded folk, should we not follow through? 	Rhetorical
 	 	 	While I understand where you're coming from, these weapons in particular have proven to be exceptionally dangerous. 	Straight forward
 	 	 	In untrained hands, misuse can prove fatal. In deviant hands, proper use can result in a great loss of innocent life. 	Concerned
 	 	 	And even with all that aside, they have been tagged with the Brotherhood crest. Whether we intended it or not, these weapons represent us. 	Concerned
 	 	 	If we aren't able to get the weapons back in our possession, they could end up causing irreparable damage to our standing in the region. 	Trying to be a strong leader
 	 	 	That's right. Initiate, please let the Scribe know we're ready for her. Shin and I have a few things to discuss in the meantime. 	Neutral
 	 	 	That's right. Initiate, can I trust you to retrieve Scribe Valdez? Or is that perhaps asking too much of you? 	Annoyed
 	 	 	Shin and I have a few things to... discuss in the meantime. 	Smoldering

 	 	 	Task 151983, J. Jefferson. Perform system wide reset. Task denied. System operating as expected. 	
 	 	 	This appears to be a manual console for the transmitter. I need a moment to figure out the controls. 	
 	 	 	The two of you are to find the power supply and install the Ultracite battery cell that Scribe Valdez sent us with. 	
 	 	 	Did Knight Shin get held up? 	
 	 	 	Well, perhaps it's for the best. This gives me the opportunity to ask you something. 	
 	 	 	You've been a tremendous asset to the Brotherhood's efforts. And I'd like you to continue to be one. 	
 	 	 	But we can't do that with the shadows of the Elders looming over our shoulders. 	
 	 	 	They're cowards, too obsessed with preventing disaster to pave a new way forward. Under their guidance we will never rebuild the world. 	
 	 	 	We'll stay rooted in place, guarding a hoard of technology that can be used for neither good nor evil. 	
 	 	 	Here in Appalachia we have an opportunity to make a real difference. To help the people of today build their own future. 	
 	 	 	So let's cut free and take that opportunity. Tell me, Initiate. Are you with me? 	
 	 	 	Good work securing an entrance, Initiate. Have you located the transmitter? 	
 	 	 	Soon you'll see the importance of this mission. 	
 	 	 	There's no time for conversation. 	
 	 	 	What's this about? I thought I made it clear that our first priority is strengthening our presence in Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	Take your time. I'll need to wrestle with this device for awhile. I don't know how Scribe Valdez does it. 	
 	 	 	I'm saying that this message must not be sent. 	
 	 	 	It's good to have your trust. With your support, there's nothing we can't do. 	
 	 	 	Enough, Shin. We have a lead now. Let's focus on that. 	
 	 	 	Since our arrival, every last ounce of my effort has gone toward establishing the Brotherhood as an effective force of action in Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	Everything we've done here has been necessary. And before Valdez's report, we had no leads on a long-distance communicator. 	
 	 	 	What is that voice? 	
 	 	 	I suppose that's the AI? 	
 	 	 	She doesn't sound very friendly. 	
 	 	 	Consider what's right, not just for the Brotherhood, but for the people we must protect. 	
 	 	 	There's a thin line between order and blind obedience. At one time I may have trusted Shin to stay on the right side. 	
 	 	 	He has always been strict, dedicated, disciplined. But following these events, he became... guarded. He doesn't let up for even a second. 	
 	 	 	If he continues on this way, I worry he will lose sight of why he joined the Brotherhood in the first place. 	
 	 	 	Yes, I am responsible for the final outcome of all operations performed by this group, regardless of individual choices made. 	
 	 	 	What happened is an irreparable tragedy. I carry the weight of the lives that were lost with every step I take. But I cannot allow it to stop me.	
 	 	 	This is not about me, Initiate. This is about the people we can help. 	
 	 	 	It's about the promise of a better future. One we can only deliver with our own, untethered hands. 	
 	 	 	You weren't there, Initiate. It was... harrowing. Those civilians trusted us to save them. 	
 	 	 	We... lost one of our own as well. Knight Connors. May he rest in peace. 	
 	 	 	We disobeyed orders, handing out those weapons instead of safeguarding them. Perhaps it would have been forgivable, had we succeeded. 	
 	 	 	But the Elders would take this failure as proof of the danger of unrestrained technology. 	
 	 	 	They would double down on the fearful conservatism I've tried so hard to steer them away from. 	
 	 	 	We cannot let that happen. At this stage, the Brotherhood still has a chance to be something better. 	
 	 	 	It's a delicate matter, so don't expect me to speak freely of it again. 	
 	 	 	You must recall the Brotherhood weaponry we tasked you with retrieving these last few missions. 	
 	 	 	We had claimed the entire cache from a military facility in the Midwest. It was meant to stay under Brotherhood protection. 	
 	 	 	Until we came across a town under threat of a massacre by some Raiders. We equipped the townspeople with the weapons, and fought by their sides. 	
 	 	 	It was the only way to give them a chance. But it wasn't enough. 	
 	 	 	The Raiders won. They took possession of the weapons. And they've been running wild ever since. 	
 	 	 	It is my belief that we must learn from our mistakes. But Knight Shin hangs onto them. 	
 	 	 	He cannot move forward until he confronts the past, until he lays our guilt on display for the Elders. 	
 	 	 	I say that we can - that we must - move forward on our own. 	
 	 	 	In any case, I've made my choice. This cannot wait any longer. 	
 	 	 	This is the only way forward. 	
 	 	 	Allow me to take the first step. 	
 	 	 	If you wish to have any stake in your own destiny, Initiate, then you will need allies. I'd suggest you'd start thinking about who they are. 	
 	 	 	I'm sad to hear you say that. But if that is your stance, then so be it. 	
 	 	 	I cannot allow the misguided beliefs of one Initiate to determine the future of Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	You will be my ally in forging a new paradigm for the Brotherhood of Steel, and a brighter future for Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	Something happened during our journey to Appalachia. A mistake that cost the lives of an entire town, and likely countless more. 	
 	 	 	If Knight Shin gets an opportunity to speak with the Elders, he will confess to this incident, and to us breaking their direct orders. 	
 	 	 	We'll have our titles stripped, our influence rendered illegitimate. Everything we worked for here will be gone. 	
 	 	 	But if circumstances prevent us from establishing contact, we will continue on as a sanctioned offshoot of the Brotherhood of Steel. 	
 	 	 	We will be able to spread its authority and goodwill across the nation. Is that not something worth fighting for? 	
 	 	 	Re-establishing contact with the Elders will only shackle us. Possibly even destroy us. So we must disable this transmitter. Permanently. 	
 	 	 	This is a choice that can never be undone. So tell me. 	
 	 	 	Do you support the growth and outreach of the Appalachian Brotherhood of Steel, under the command of Paladin Leila Rahmani? 	
 	 	 	Or are you beholden to the fearful and outdated mandates of the Elders, to whom our very own Knight Daniel Shin vows his loyalty? 	
 	 	 	It's disappointing that you would respond with such shameless indifference to a worthwhile cause. 	
 	 	 	Perhaps it's a mistake to ask you at all. Even still, I'd like to know where I stand in the eyes of an outsider who's worked by our side. 	
 	 	 	This is not a betrayal, Initiate. 	
 	 	 	Have you forgotten your escapade into the Atlas substructure already? You and Valdez found something incredibly valuable down there. 	
 	 	 	An Ultracite battery cell. Right now, it's the only resource we have that can provide enough power to the transmitter. 	
 	 	 	Valdez said the signal was weak. If we want a clear message to reach the West Coast, we need the transmitter at full function. 	
 	 	 	Nothing we couldn't handle. 	
 	 	 	It's unfortunate that even terminal programs turn to violence. 	
 	 	 	There's no need to jump to conclusions. What matters is that we dealt with the threat. 	
 	 	 	Moving forward, let's not waste any more time. Lead the way, Initiate. 	
 	 	 	I appreciate your service, but we can do without the attitude. 	
 	 	 	Excellent initiative. You can depend on us from here on. 	
 	 	 	Your diligence is appreciated. 	
 	 	 	I'm quite aware of how dangerous it may be. That's all the more reason to spread the word. 	
 	 	 	The people must be allowed to make their own informed decisions. 	
 	 	 	This is quite the facility. I wonder how long it's been hidden here. If they don't already, the people of Appalachia deserve to know about this. 	
 	 	 	Show some faith in them, Shin. They appear to have made it through the facility relatively unharmed. 	
 	 	 	I look forward to meeting her. 	
 	 	 	Regardless of her methods, I have every confidence that the three of us can handle her. 	
 	 	 	You said you're close to tracking down the signal, Valdez? Why don't we have our reliable Initiate assist you? 	
 	 	 	I believe in the Brotherhood of Steel. So much that I would rewrite its customs to lead it on the right path. 	
 	 	 	Despite the circumstances, the Brotherhood needs us. 	
 	 	 	Don't you see that protecting them is more important right now? 	
 	 	 	You and I will both return to the Fort and deal with the alert. We can settle our dispute later. 	
 	 	 	An alert? There could very well be an attack. We need to get back to the Initiates. 	
 	 	 	I have not turned my back on the Brotherhood, Shin. On the contrary, I will work harder than ever before to lead us forward. 	
 	 	 	And you expect them to follow you? Authority is given to a leader by those who support them. The same Initiates who turn away from you in fear. 	
 	 	 	The Elders have no hold on us anymore. Stand with me, Shin. Play a part in forging a better future. 	
 	 	 	What have you done, Paladin? 	
 	 	 	To a new Brotherhood!

 	 	 	The mission was a success, and Fort Atlas is safe. Our decisive action drove the enemy from our home, as it has in the past and will in the future.	
 	 	 	Let's hear what Scribe Valdez called us back here for. 	
 	 	 	Don't hesitate, Initiate. 	
 	 	 	Let's continue. 	
 	 	 	Your indecisiveness shows again, Initiate. You shouldn't be afraid to do what's right just because it's difficult. 	
 	 	 	Do what you will, Shin. Cool your head and come back when you're ready to cooperate. 	
 	 	 	The Elders would have us stand trial for crimes we didn't commit. Your own sense of guilt is blinding you to that. 	
 	 	 	I destroyed the transmitter. The Elders are blind to the good we can do. We need to break free from their influence. 	
 	 	 	Maybe now you see the merit of my command, Initiate? Act together without hesitation and we can win any battle. 	
 	 	 	Very well, Shin. If that's the price of your cooperation, then I'll pay it, if only to hold our Brotherhood together a little longer. 	
 	 	 	I thought you believed in my leadership, Initiate! Was your pledge to me meaningless? 	
 	 	 	I should have expected such shortsightedness from you, Initiate. Shin's indoctrinated you already. 	
 	 	 	I see your indecision has given way at last, Initiate. 	
 	 	 	Then we need a plan of attack. This threat won't take care of itself. We'll go on the offensive, take the fight to them. 	
 	 	 	It looks like things have calmed down. Is this the last of the attackers? 	
 	 	 	Well said, Knight. Now let's get down there and give them our support. 	
 	 	 	Then let's get to it. 	
 	 	 	Good. Then let's go. 	
 	 	 	We need to get down there and reinforce that barricade. Knight Shin, I trust you can put your feelings aside and work with me on this? 	
 	 	 	Scribe, status report. How many hostiles? Where are they now? 	Immediately taking charge of the situation
 	 	 	Even if they weren't, we have allies in Appalachia now. We should call on them when necessary. 	
 	 	 	They're as well armed as we are, with those weapons the Initiate refused to recover. 	
 	 	 	We should alert Foundation to the mutant threat. They could assist in future encounters. 	
 	 	 	I suppose they can. That puts my mind at ease. 	Sarcastic; teasing. She is saying this to get on Shin's nerves, though she half believes it.
 	 	 	Have the mutants targeted anyone else in Appalachia? 	
 	 	 	I seem to remember your recommendation being involved. 	
 	 	 	Not everyone shares your enthusiasm for confrontation. 	
 	 	 	By "followed our principles," you mean "took an aggressive, uncompromising approach." 	
 	 	 	I'm surprised to hear you single someone out like that. 	
 	 	 	We had no way of knowing this would happen. The troops we have held their own, and Foundation is safe now as well. 	
 	 	 	You always protest when I try to recruit more members. Now you're saying we don't have enough? Make up your mind, Shin. 	
 	 	 	Marty Putnam is eager and fearless, an ideal combination for a future Knight. We're luck to have him. 	
 	 	 	Colin Putnam has a rare intellect. He could be a Scribe someday. I'd have recruited him myself, had I been there. 	
 	 	 	The Initiate saw an opportunity and took it. In exchange, we got a new trainee. 	
 	 	 	You never know how someone will react when they first see combat. Many were peaceful people before we came along. 	
 	 	 	I'm proud of our Initiates, holding the barricade back there. 	
 	 	 	The tunnels are sealed. Good work team. Let's get back to the surface and regroup. 	The player has sealed tunnels enemies were using to enter
 	 	 	The bombs are planted! Fall back! Get to safety so we can set them off! 	
 	 	 	That elevator looks like it will get us up faster than the way in. 	Pointing out a shortcut the player can take
 	 	 	If we don't strike now, we'll just be worn down over time. You should know better, Shin. Clearly the Initiate does. 	
 	 	 	Well you're certainly no negotiator. 	
 	 	 	Isn't this what you always wanted, Shin? Ridding the Wasteland of threats to humanity? 	
 	 	 	You mistake confidence for complacency. Victory is won through willpower. We've chosen a path, now we commit to it. 	
 	 	 	We'll survive this one like we survived all the others.

 	 	 	 	Go on, Shin. 	
 	 	 	 	It is your duty to complete the missions that your superior officer gives you. 	
 	 	 	 	The longer you wait, the greater chance there will be for bloodshed. Please hurry. 	
 	 	 	 	Something better than helping those who can't help themselves? Where is your sense of compassion?	
 	Aiding civilians is part of the Brotherhood's mission here in Appalachia. We need to show them our good will.	 	 	 	
 	 	 	We aren't asking the settlement for anything in return. They're going to need their supplies and our goal is to return them. 	 	
 	 	 	We need the people of Appalachia to know that we're here to help. 	 	
 	 	 	Earning favor with the people of this region will benefit us in the long run - that in itself is a reward.. 	emphasis on additional 	
 	 	 	...But if you happen to get any additional supplies that the Blood Eagles have "procured", you can bring them back here. 	 	
 	 	 	Yes, Paladin. 	a tinge of sarcasm 	
 	 	 	If our weapons have spread among multiple groups, that's a serious problem. 	 	
 	 	 	The Blood Eagles too? Did these crates have our insignia on them? 	 	
 	 	 	Were you able to help the people of The Retreat? 	 	
 	 	 	I trust that you will represent the Brotherhood admirably on your first mission, Initiate. 	 	
 	 	 	Don't speak so frivolously of human life, Knight. 	 	
 	 	 	Very unfortunate that things had to end that way, but at least the villagers are safe now. 	 	
 	 	 	Good work on resolving the situation without bloodshed, Initiate. 	 	
 	 	 	I trust that The Retreat has everything it needs to survive, and that the Blood Eagles will no longer threaten them? 	 	
 	 	 	The Initiate acted resourcefully given the circumstances. So long as the Blood Eagles have rescinded their demands, I consider this mission a success. 	 	
 	 	 	Excellent work, Initiate. You represented the Brotherhood of Steel admirably. 	 	
 	 	 	The Initiate has not done anything to deserve your suspicion, Knight. A resolution without bloodshed is an ideal one. 	 	
 	 	 	Is there anything else to report? 	 	
 	 	 	Initiate, I've been around long enough to spot an obvious lie when I hear one. 	 	
 	 	 	Perhaps you can ask him about it another time. 	 	
 	 	 	I am the one answering questions here, Knight. 	 	
 	 	 	The Brotherhood saved Shin's hometown from a Raider attack. It was then that Knight Connors recruited him into the fold. 	 	
 	 	 	There have been other incidents since then, but... 	 	
 	 	 	We obtained them during our journey to Appalachia. Unexpected circumstances removed them from our possession. 	 	
 	 	 	Good work, Initiate. You're dismissed. 	 	
 	 	 	Initiate, report to Knight Shin when you're ready. 	 	
 	 	 	Despite your history with Raiders, Knight, we must strive to handle things diplomatically. Do not let your ill feelings cloud your judgment. 	 	
 	 	 	Initiate, I'd like you to assist Knight Shin in handling this matter. 	 	
 	 	 	As you may have heard us discussing earlier, the Raiders of Crater are also in possession of these weapons. 	 	
 	 	 	This is potentially damaging to our reputation and, depending on the Raiders' intent, a danger to the other settlements of Appalachia. 	 	
 	 	 	Very well. 	 	
 	 	 	I hope that the villagers have other means of defending themselves. 	 	
 	 	 	I support the Initiate's decision. The villagers will not use that weapon with ill intent. 	 	
 	 	 	Let's discuss this later. We've kept the Initiate waiting long enough. 	 	
 	 	 	We have yet to establish a relationship with the people of Crater. It's possible that they are more agreeable than the other Raiders we've encountered.	 	
 	 	 	Those crates are for important assets. We haven't used them since... 	 	
 	 	 	One moment, Initiate. Knight Shin is in the middle of his report. 	 	
 	 	 	They must have seen something quite interesting, for you to come to me about it.

 	 	 	Looks like we'll need to spell out Open, Sesame, and Seed in numbers. There must be hints about the numbering system around here somewhere. 	Discussing with partner
 	 	 	Have you been able to find the written version of the numbering system? That report we read said it should be close by. 	Discussing with partner
 	 	 	We just need to find a way to inject this chemical into the waterline... Let's keep moving, see if we find anything. 	Discussing with partner
 	 	 	Don't let your guard down in here, Initiate. 	Advice
 	 	 	We should be getting close to the end now... 	Getting tired
 	 	 	See if you can find any communication left behind by the members of the caravan. Anything can help. 	Thinking
 	 	 	Let's regroup at the Harpers Ferry train tunnel. Safe travels. 	
 	 	 	Interesting... 	Mildly annoyed
 	 	 	Well, that was short-lived. Okay, Joanna, it appears I've underestimated you. 	Impressed, but also a little stand offish
 	 	 	Please, Joanna is just fine, dear... And while all this cloak and dagger hub-bub is flattering, why don't we cut to the chase... Paladin Rahmani. 	Starts friendly, turns into sharp perception
 	 	 	Ms. Mayfield. My name is Leila, I had made an appointment to speak with you. 	Attempting to be cordial
 	 	 	And remember to keep a low profile. We're just a pair of friendly traders, looking for potential business. 	hushed
 	 	 	Very well. Thank you for humoring me, even if it was for just a moment. Let's head upstairs. 	Wish it weren't over so soon
 	 	 	Alan Connors. That's right. A dear, dear friend. The two of us were from the same unit in the National Guard. 	Bringing up bitter sweet memory
 	 	 	Alan had been my rock through every storm I weathered. We survived the bombs together. Joined the Brotherhood together. 	Bittersweet
 	 	 	He was more than my right hand. He was really a life-long companion. I'd never really considered a world without him. 	
 	 	 	Not just to me, either. To both Valdez and Shin... He was like a big brother, even a father. He was always there for them... 	
 	 	 	That's the part that gets to me. He was an important person to damn near everyone... It's what makes his absence hurt even more. 	swelling of pain
 	 	 	That's interesting phrasing... "Join." Never really thought about it that way. 	A soft chuckle to herself
 	 	 	I was already in the National Guard. Helping people, maintaining peace; that was my life. 	Matter of fact
 	 	 	The Brotherhood didn't feel like a new organization, it felt like regrouping with my people. A return to form. 	
 	 	 	Maybe some ranks and verbiage changed, but the heart of it was there. I'm not sure I even gave it a second thought. 	
 	 	 	I'd rather not... ruin this. I just need a brief moment where I'm not a Paladin to a headstrong, self-righteous, mutinous Knight. 	Almost frustrated this came up, forcing on a smile at the end
 	 	 	Salâmati, my friend. 	sah-lah-MAH-tee
 	 	 	Hm. A fine choice. 	Impressed with their taste.
 	 	 	I'm going to need you to be standing by the end of this, you know. 	Half joking, half discipline
 	 	 	You are truly perplexing sometimes... 	Doesn't know how someone so capable could be so dumb
 	 	 	I understand, but it doesn't hurt to step outside the armor now and then. 	Trying to appeal to the human inside that armor
 	 	 	I may be wearing civvies, but that's not an all-clear to be rude, you know. 	A little annoyed but letting it slide
 	 	 	Heh. Don't get too used to that. 	Nice try kid
 	 	 	What? No. Shin isn't even listed here, what are you-- Listen, I'm referring to this name that's on here several times: Dr. Blackburn. 	Flabbergasted by how dumb the suggestion is
 	 	 	Take a look at Cassie's journal. Tell me if you noticed what I did. 	
 	 	 	I can't blame you. My sights are entirely focused on everyone that's gone missing. 	Hurts to hear it
 	 	 	But I can't just plow through everything to reach that goal. This experience has helped me see that. 	
 	 	 	Whoa, whoa, trap? Where's this coming from? Hold on, did you say "sheep robot"? Like the baa-baa kind, or the killer robot kind? 	Initially taken aback, then only cares about the sheep robot. This REALLY interests him.
 	 	 	Based on Cassie's description and the letter you found earlier, we can assume they were these "Hellcat" mercenaries. 	
 	 	 	The total number of people they've abducted, though, is staggering... Nearly fifteen in this trip alone. 	Sad to think
 	 	 	Anyway... We should get back to Atlas and report what we've found. 	Coming out of a hard conversation
 	 	 	If we can determine where Blackburn took this group, we may be able to track down Cassie... and perhaps countless others. 	
 	 	 	I'll meet you there. Good work, Initiate. 	Beaming with pride
 	 	 	Fair enough. I know I got rather carried away with my suspicions. Maybe rash behavior like that has caused you to side with Shin thus far. 	Hesitates to admit it
 	 	 	Excellent, I'll take what you've collected. 	
 	 	 	I know you do, Initiate... I appreciate it, I really do. 	
 	 	 	I'm a bit ashamed of how quick I was to jump to conclusions on this matter. It's something I know I need to change. 	
 	 	 	But, even still, I'm thankful that you continue to place your trust in me. 	Genuine appreciation
 	 	 	All right, but if you feel we've collected sufficient evidence, we should begin reviewing right away. 	
 	 	 	Art's niece was here on the final trip, sure, but that's to be expected. No, the thing I noticed was a familiar, recurring name. 	
 	 	 	You may not have the sharpest eye for detective work, but you managed to lead us exactly where we needed to be. 	
 	 	 	When this is over, we may want to promote you to the rank of "bloodhound" for your intuitive tracking skills, Initiate. 	
 	 	 	I'm glad I had you here, Initiate. There's a few things I'm sure I would have missed if you hadn't been here to help. 	
 	 	 	You were an excellent partner in this, Initiate. This has been a... humbling experience. 	
 	 	 	Aries, between the Feral Ghouls, the strangler vines and that insane sheep robot, I've about reached my limit with this place... and your antics. 	Pretty pissed
 	 	 	I don't know if this is some kind of trap, or elaborate cover-up, but we need to get through that door and get answers. Now. 	
 	 	 	Nearly there now... We're getting closer to the truth, I can feel it. 	Exhausted
 	 	 	As, er... idiosyncratic as his behavior has been, there's not much evidence suggesting such. 	Cautious not to offend
 	 	 	That's a very vivid imagination you have, Initiate... But, no. 	What's wrong with this guy?
 	 	 	While a dangerous group certainly arrived at the camp, there's nothing to suggest Mutants. 	
 	 	 	That was my take as well. 	
 	 	 	They were bunked down here due to a radstorm. A large group of civilians and merchants accompanied by just a single guard... Sitting ducks. 	
 	 	 	Where is your head, Initiate? That's not even close to what this evidence suggests. 	Annoyed
 	 	 	That's right. The storm forced them to bunk down. They were an extra large group, too, with only one guard. Sitting ducks. 	
 	 	 	Not quite... While that seems like a believable conclusion, the evidence points elsewhere. 	
 	 	 	Yes, it would seem this was a routine trip until the end. Something kept them here, forced them to set up camp so close to home. 	
 	 	 	I... think it'd be a good idea to step through the evidence together. I think I may have been assuming too much about Blue Ridge's involvement. 	Feels a little embarrassed for jumping to conclusions earlier
 	 	 	I'd like to be on the same page, so where would you like to start? 	
 	 	 	Okay, everything is there on the desk. Let me know when you're ready. 	
 	 	 	Indeed we do. 	A little proud
 	 	 	Besides, Aries was only assigned to one trip, and no one even went missing. The person I'm referring to is Dr. Blackburn... 	
 	 	 	I think I've seen enough. Initiate, we should discuss our findings. 	
 	 	 	Hm... 	
 	 	 	I see... That's... concerning... 	
 	 	 	Wait a moment... This name. I know this name... 	
 	 	 	Let me take a look at what you've found... I just need a minute to review it all. 	
 	 	 	Done! The chemical is pumping throughout the entire water system now, including a cess pipe that was for, er, disposing of unwanted chemicals. 	Realizing how sleazy the company is as she says it
 	 	 	Well, one sleazy company's environmental negligence is our gain, I suppose. Those vines should be weak enough to break through now. 	Silver lining
 	 	 	I, uh, wouldn't drink the water if I were you, though. 	
 	 	 	Unlocking the last gate valve now... Give 'em hell, Initiate! 	
 	 	 	I've gotten through to about half the facility. Can't stop now, I'll need to reach the drainage system if we're going to affect the vines. 	Combat happening behind her
 	 	 	The system is blocking me from releasing the sample outside this room... I need more time... Keep it up! 	Looking over a problem
 	 	 	Damn, it's detected a foreign substance. Prepare for it to get noisy in here! 	
 	 	 	Initiate, I'll need you to keep them off my back. Ad Victoriam! 	
 	 	 	Okay... the chemical has started dispersing into the water systems... 	Looking down at a computer
 	 	 	Let's take a look here... 	Going over to a computer
 	 	 	A wise choice. Just let me know when you're ready to get started. 	
 	 	 	Okay, fingers crossed and guns at the ready. 	Here goes nothing
 	 	 	Here we go. This looks like it connects to the main waterline. Let's talk next steps. 	Spotted what she was looking for
 	 	 	That Aries character is further ahead... I should mention: every instinct I have is telling me not to trust him. 	Suspicious of Aries
 	 	 	It seems we don't have much choice for the time being, but we'd be wise to keep an eye on him. 	
 	 	 	All right, you take point. 	
 	 	 	As I mentioned before, this isn't my first time dealing with a caravan group like this. 	NOT passive aggressive in "as I mentioned"
 	 	 	Well... This isn't my first time dealing with a caravan group such as this. 	
 	 	 	I'm sure Shin would applaud your cool logical analysis, but do not ignore human intuition. 	A little spite
 	 	 	Not to mention, experience: I've dealt with caravan groups like this before. 	
 	 	 	This sounds like a very contrived way of getting us killed. Stay sharp, Initiate. 	
 	 	 	And guns at the ready, I spotted some Feral Ghouls earlier. 	
 	 	 	Seems like some kind of thrown together lab. Do you suppose they were making something to deal with the vines? 	
 	 	 	I think I see some kind of chemical on the ground there... We need to find a way to unlock this door. 	
 	 	 	Let's have a look at this... 	
 	 	 	Aha, my hunch was right. According to the label, they made an extremely potent herbicide. 	Looking something over
 	 	 	Judging from this container, it looks like it's meant to be dispersed into a larger system... No sprinklers in here, so... 	
 	 	 	Dear lord, the facility's water line? That would explain the bodies out there... But why? They must have known this would happen. 	Disturbed
 	 	 	Well done, Initiate! That was some impressive detective work. 	
 	 	 	No time to dwell on that. Initiate, let's look for a station where we can access the waterline. This is what we need to weaken the vines. 	
 	 	 	That's right. Fort Atlas is secure for the time being, and with Shin out of commission, I'd like to step in and do my part. 	being strong
 	 	 	This is our strongest lead by far. The two of us need to act quickly if we hope to safely return those that went missing. 	
 	 	 	Thank you, Initiate. Ad Victoriam. 	
 	 	 	I've made several attempts to contact the Blue Ridge Caravan Company, in hopes of trading supplies. They turned me down. Every time. 	Doesn't like that
 	 	 	I understand that the Brotherhood can be an intimidating presence, and the West Virginia chapter didn't exactly leave behind a shining legacy... 	Reasonable
 	 	 	But I think we've shown we have Appalachia's safety and security at heart. Yet, they remain unwilling to even speak. I find it suspicious. 	disgust
 	 	 	During our travels, we found that a "caravan group" was just as often a cover for slavers and Raiders. A friendly guise for rolling through towns. 	Unfortunate story
 	 	 	I didn't suspect Blue Ridge of such at first, but their repeated refusal to talk, Mr. Knapp's story, and this letter are simply too much to ignore. 	determined
 	 	 	I imagine any shady operations they may have in play wouldn't be something so easy to stumble across. 	not buying it
 	 	 	Though, it's good to know you've had dealings with them. Maybe that will provide a foot in the door. 	Good to know
 	 	 	Great, take a seat. 	delighted
 	 	 	Right, as I was saying. 	Neutral. Use in case convo is interrupted by gameplay.
 	 	 	I'd appreciate if the job offers were saved for later. We're here on pressing business. 	A little annoyed, pressed for time
 	 	 	Okay, back to it. Where were we? 	Neutral return to interrupted conversation
 	 	 	Of course. 	"Okay, sure"
 	 	 	Dear lord, what is that thing!? 	See a crazy killer robot dressed like a sheep
 	 	 	Fine, don't see it as orders, see it as helping the people of Appalachia. 	appealing to player's humanity
 	 	 	I assume, regardless of where you and I stand, we remain united in the duty of helping others. There are lives at risk here, it can't be ignored. 	trying to reason
 	 	 	Right. All caught up, Initiate? 	
 	 	 	'Cept thems damn liars. I got letters from Cassie. She spells them out, plain as day. "I'm travelin' with Blue Ridge something-or-other." 	frustrated. irony of how unclear he is lost on him
 	 	 	Right, Ms. Halloway apparently paid the Blue Ridge Caravan Company to transport her to Appalachia. 	careful to get the details right
 	 	 	It would appear she never arrived. However, the people Mr. Knapp spoke with at Blue Ridge claim she was never a client to begin with. 	her own suspicion is clear
 	 	 	We need to investigate this Blue Ridge Caravan Company immediately. They have an office at the west end of the Big Bend Tunnel. 	Giving orders
 	 	 	Initiate, I'd like you to meet me there. Try not to attract too much attention, either. If they realize we're in the Brotherhood, they may clam up. 	
 	 	 	Mr. Knapp's niece, Cassie- 	
 	 	 	Really...? This letter said they would "acquire more people" from Blue Ridge...? 	Taken aback
 	 	 	Interesting... This is the first real lead we've found, and it connects directly with what Mr. Knapp is reporting. 	determined
 	 	 	I actually had my own suspicions about the organization, but this information certainly tips the scales... 	Somewhat a thought to self
 	 	 	The Blue Ridge Caravan Company. 	decisive
 	 	 	Initiate, excellent timing. There's something we should discuss. 	Exhausted, trying to change subject
 	 	 	No, that's not what I'm saying at all. 	Caught off guard
 	 	 	I understand your frustration, Mr. Knapp. Finding everyone that has gone missing is my top priority, but we need more evidence before we can act. 	trying to sympathize but standing firm
 	 	 	Speak, Aries, what's the hold-up? 	Not trusting
 	 	 	Fine. But don't think we aren't keeping an eye on you. 	
 	 	 	Is this for real? 	Lost patience (witnessing Aries hammer the wall to open a door)
 	 	 	More than once we discovered that slavers had been using the guise of a caravan to collect and transport people. 	disgusted by the idea
 	 	 	Blue Ridge using a dark corner like this for their operations only raises my suspicions. I cannot overlook the similarities. 	"this" referring to the dank tunnel you're in
 	 	 	Now... On to business. Let's head upstairs. 	
 	 	 	Be salâmati! 	BEE sah-lah-MA-tee
 	 	 	Thoughtful, but I can't accept. How about... to you, Initiate. A harbinger of change and a force to be reckoned with. 	Flattered
 	 	 	Ha. You... really know how to twist the knife. But, yes, to Daniel Shin. May he see a speedy recovery. 	why I oughtta!
 	 	 	Yes. To Knight Alan Connors. May he never be forgotten. 	bittersweet
 	 	 	Of course. To our new Brotherhood. 	emphasis on new
 	 	 	Thank you for hearing me out. It's an honor to pass on his story. He deserves that, and so much more. 	bittersweet
 	 	 	I'll let that one slide, since we're off duty, so to speak. 	Clenching teeth
 	 	 	But don't for a minute think you're in a position to lecture me on the responsibilities of my station. 	Hushed anger starting to creep in
 	 	 	If anything, I fought against my better instincts and went with a plan that I myself doubted. 	Close to tears, feels like it's just not fair to be judged that way
 	 	 	But that kind of reflection is fruitless... I made the final call. The burden lies on my shoulders. 	Calming down, taking on the blame
 	 	 	I hope, at least, you can start to see things from my perspective more... To understand why I make the choices I make. 	Taking a breather
 	 	 	No. I was the commanding officer. Blame starts at the top. That's one subject the two of us agree on, even if he doesn't realize it. 	Convinced of this
 	 	 	When we lost Alan, Shin stepped up to take on many of his responsibilities. On top of the grief... that must have been a lot to handle. 	Hard to talk about
 	 	 	It led him to fall back on what he knows: rules and doctrine. He doesn't trust anyone else to help him see beyond that. Not like he trusted Alan. 	
 	 	 	And because of me... because of a call I made, we all lost him. I know Shin will never forgive me for it. 	Hope turns to dust
 	 	 	Almost certainly. 	Now the player's getting it!
 	 	 	Indeed. He was the bedrock of this team... And things were never the same with Shin from then on. 	Old pain transitioning into more recent spite
 	 	 	Sometimes I think... no, I'm certain, that I was selected for this mission in order to remove my perspective and influence. 	Pained to say it, memories of feeling betrayed
 	 	 	The Elders saw my pull and experience as a threat, and knew I would never align with their goals... 	
 	 	 	What better way to prevent my meddling than to send me packing on a cross country venture? 	frustration building
 	 	 	I often wonder... if they ever expected me to report in at all. To make it here alive... Joke's on them, I guess. 	Cooling down... "Fuck those guys"
 	 	 	No, I don't think it's quite as simple as a bait and switch. 	Resistant to the no. Understands the comment, but trying to be a devil's advocate
 	 	 	When the founders started out, I genuinely believe they were fueled by a desire to protect people from the horrors of the old world. 	
 	 	 	But time changed them... Paid too much attention to what they did and how, but lost sight of why: the people. 	reaffirming her beliefs
 	 	 	It was. Even knowing what I know now, I have no regrets. They were my people, my comrades. 	Agreeing, with some hesitation.
 	 	 	But things changed as time rolled on... As I'm sure you know, the views of the Elders and I... differed greatly. 	almost funny to her... almost
 	 	 	I think that's a fine idea. To whom? 	Coming out of some hard topics, gathering self
 	 	 	Oh cut the crap, I'm being real here. There's some things we need to hash out. C'mon, pull up a stool. 	Made her laugh a little, but didn't exactly work
 	 	 	I just... Fine. Let's get on with it, then. 	Hurt
 	 	 	All the more reason we shouldn't blow our cover. Blending in a bit first might help with that. 	A bit hushed
 	 	 	Well? I'm buying, pal. Whaddya say? 	Hamming up the local yokel bit
 	 	 	Clearly. But we aren't adversaries either. 	Annoyed, but still wanting to make amends
 	 	 	I promise, that is not my intention at all. I just want the chance to talk, one on one. 	Trying to cool things down
 	 	 	I understand. You're anxious to continue this investigation, but we've been through a lot. It'd be good to iron some things out. 	Trying to reason
 	 	 	But, listen... I was hoping we could talk for a few minutes before we head upstairs. 	A bit cautious going into this
 	 	 	Let me buy you a drink. What do you say? 	Trying to make this as not-awkward as possible
 	 	 	(sigh) You're a little slower on the draw than I thought. It's to keep a low profile... To not draw attention... Am I getting through? 	A bit exasperated
 	 	 	Initiate... You failed to mention having past dealings with Blue Ridge. That... would have been useful to know, don't you think? 	Gritting her teeth a bit
 	 	 	But putting that aside for now... 	Will transition into "I'd appreciate if the job offers..."
 	 	 	This guy looks like some kind of guard. Probably armed... Don't take your eye off him, Initiate. 	Hushed, under breath
 	 	 	Worked with him before have you? Just remember where these hired guns loyalties lie: the people paying them. Don't let your guard down just yet. 	Not buying it
 	 	 	Thanks. It's good to follow your instincts. They rarely steer me wrong. 	Glad to hear it
 	 	 	Despite Ms. Mayfield's silver tongue, I'm not entirely convinced. Let's not start a shoot out, but just stay... cautious. 	Hushed
 	 	 	Honeyed words... But we should proceed. What can you tell us about the people that went missing from your caravan? 	Not quite convinced
 	 	 	You've lost that many people!? And we're only just now hearing about this? 	Exasperated
 	 	 	Fine... But after reviewing the evidence, I plan to revisit Blue Ridge's involvement in this matter. 	A warning
 	 	 	Absolutely not. 	Shutting it down.
 	 	 	I will... take your word for it. I am sorry, either way. 	Trying very hard to be nice
 	 	 	Aries... I owe you an apology. 	Hesitation
 	 	 	My rash behavior was unfitting of my position, and frankly, unfair to you. 	
 	 	 	It's something that I know I need to improve upon. Not just as leader of the Brotherhood, but as a person. 	Showing strength
 	 	 	I do believe we make a pretty great team. 	with a smile
 	 	 	Dr. Blackburn was hiring these Hellcat Mercenaries to kidnap people from this route. 	
 	 	 	It would appear they were cautious at first, but took advantage of a radstorm to steal away an entire group. 	
 	 	 	An unfortunate end, but there's still hope of finding them. The only thing left is to report back our findings and determine Blackburn's location. 	
 	 	 	The caravan was ambushed by armed strangers, likely the Hellcat Mercenaries you fought. 	
 	 	 	Based on the manifest, a "Dr. Blackburn" attended every trip where someone went missing. Including the final one. 	
 	 	 	All of the evidence together points to one clear answer... 	
 	 	 	Great. Where should we start? 	
 	 	 	All right then... Here's what I've concluded. 	A bit hesitant
 	 	 	Dr. Blackburn was the one who had been performing experiments to "help the people of the Wasteland." 	Sounds unlikely
 	 	 	I had thought it sounded too good to be true. But even still, could he be kidnapping people? To what end? 	
 	 	 	No, that was Mr. Hockman. 	
 	 	 	That's right. Dr. Blackburn was seeking assistance with his experiments. Something about curing diseases and helping people. 	
 	 	 	I suspected it was too good to be true, and the evidence here certainly doesn't look promising... But could he really be kidnapping people? 	
 	 	 	That was Tally Lang. The young woman that was very clearly a Raider. 	
 	 	 	No, that was Art Knapp... You know, the man who asked us to come here to find his niece? Are you hearing yourself, Initiate? 	Disappointed at dumbness
 	 	 	Not only was he present on multiple trips, but Cassie makes mention of him speaking with the armed strangers. 	growing concern
 	 	 	Likely these Hellcat Mercenaries you've dealt with. I imagine Dr. Blackburn was the one employing them. 	
 	 	 	I knew the name sounded familiar... I had read it in Shin's report of your very first assignment with us. 	
 	 	 	Think back, Initiate, do you recall why Dr. Blackburn had been seeking our assistance? 	
 	 	 	All right, it's just there on the table. Let me know if you see any names stick out to you... Any that pop up more than a few times. 	
 	 	 	It would appear that unexpected strangers arrived, heavily armed. 	
 	 	 	Okay. There's an account from a guard that I believe holds the answer. Take a closer look. 	
 	 	 	Let's get real. 	Annoyed
 	 	 	Right. The manifest. One name in particular really stood out to me there. Did you notice it? 	
 	 	 	Indeed. It looks like we have a clear account of their last moments here. 	
 	 	 	Are you sure? I think we should be on the same page before we take action. 	
 	 	 	Thank you for opening the door. But know that if we find anything linking you to this, you're still going to have to answer for it. 	Trying to be diplomatic
 	 	 	Aries. The door. Now. Please. 	Pretty pissed
 	 	 	Well, that certainly did the trick. We should be able to reach the pump room now. 	
 	 	 	And hopefully... to begin earning back your trust. 	
 	 	 	Well, part of me wants to encourage you to follow your gut, even if that means disapproving of me. 	A somewhat laughable concept
 	 	 	But if I've learned anything from this, its allowing for the patience to find the objective truth of the matter. Something I, perhaps, have been lacking.	
 	 	 	Did you think I'd agree with that? I follow my instincts, and many of them point suspicion toward Blue Ridge and Aries, but... 	
 	 	 	We do not just "deal" with a guilty party on the spot. This isn't about punishment, it's about finding and helping the people at risk. 	
 	 	 	If, after all of this, Blue Ridge is responsible for what happened, we will have our justice. But first, we need to know what happened down here. 	
 	 	 	Agreed. 	
 	 	 	I... hope you're right. I'd like to believe he's innocent in all of this, but I can't lose sight of the goal. 	
 	 	 	Finding the missing people, like Cassie, is a time sensitive, life or death situation. That comes first. 	
 	 	 	Initiate... It's me. I am Paladin Rahmani. I'm just wearing different clothes. Also, did I not say we should keep a low profile? Please, just... try. 	
 	 	 	I don't buy it. Sounds more like you were trying to prevent future clients from being scared off. 	
 	 	 	It makes me wonder if this sudden cooperation isn't in the interest of helping others... Maybe you've just been caught. 	Gotcha!
 	 	 	We found correspondence from our suspects claiming they were "acquiring people from Blue Ridge." 	Soft accusation
 	 	 	It seems to me that your company has been transporting people in a different way than you've advertised... and involuntarily at that. 	Gotcha now! CSI Miami The Who Scream.
 	 	 	Right now the most important thing is finding everyone that has gone missing and returning them home. 	Trying to reason
 	 	 	Being up-front with your involvement in this now will be looked upon favorably, because we're not stopping until this is solved and they are safe. 	Direct
 	 	 	So I guess we'll need to find a way to change "Open Sesame Seed" into a series of numbers. 	Thinking
 	 	 	Now we just need a way to change that phrase into a series of numbers. 	Thinking to herself
 	 	 	And that's that. Time to head back to Aries. If he has anything to do with all this... 	Frustrated but unsure of what to do
 	 	 	Initiate, where are you going? We need to return to the terminal to lift the lock-down first. 	Calling out
 	 	 	I haven't lost my mind have I? That was an Assaultron dressed up as a... sheep? 	
 	 	 	Whatever it was, it's dead, and we should be able to lift the lock-down. Let's get back to that terminal. 	Growing frustrated
 	 	 	Hostile... robotic... entity? That's troubling. Be on the look out. 	Confused a little concerned
 	 	 	Did you hear that? That doesn't sound like a Feral Ghoul to me. We should watch our backs in here. 	Heard something pretty terrifying
 	 	 	From the sound of it, they wrote the numbering system down so they wouldn't need to remember it... Must be around here somewhere. 	
 	 	 	"Open Sesame Seed," eh? I've always been more of an everything bagel person. 	
 	 	 	Looks like we'll need more than just a password to get through... Some kind of code for turning words into numbers, it seems. 	Looking over documents
 	 	 	Initiate, look there, behind that gate. 	Spotted something useful

 	 	 	Enough, Shin. Let's catch up with our vanguard. 	
 	 	 	No need for that tone. I haven't run away thus far, have I? 	
 	 	 	Initiate, you've come at the right time. We've been... talking to Dr. Blackburn, and going over Scribe Valdez's report on what you found in Vault 96. 	The player and Scribe Valdez discovered horrible experiments conducted by the prisoner, Dr. Blackburn, in Vault 96.
 	 	 	Everything under control, Initiate? 	
 	 	 	So, Knight-Errant. How does your new title feel? 	
 	 	 	Killing Dr. Blackburn will not fix this situation. 	
 	 	 	Preventing Dr. Blackburn's associates from continuing his work is our top priority. 	
 	 	 	We need to come to an agreement. I won't stand for impulsive violence. 	
 	 	 	Shin, I... I'm sorry. 	
 	 	 	Get started at West Tek. We'll catch up with you. 	
 	 	 	Enjoying the hors d'oeuvres? 	Bemusedly referencing the lack of decorum for the player's promotion celebration
 	 	 	Let's talk to Dr. Blackburn's associates. The failed formula may have changed their perspective. 	
 	 	 	If we can't convince them, we'll need to hack that terminal by the door. 	
 	 	 	The scientists are still locked upstairs. Let's hear what they have to say for themselves. 	
 	 	 	A monstrous end to a monstrous human being. 	
 	 	 	Don't be a stranger. There will always be a place for you at Fort Atlas. 	
 	 	 	Ad victoriam. 	
 	 	 	Now, I have one more announcement to make. 	
 	 	 	I'd like to recognize a particular Initiate's exceptional contributions to our chapter. 	
 	 	 	In most cases this recognition would take the form of a standard rank increase. 	
 	 	 	However, being a Knight is a dedicated responsibility, and it's become quite clear to me that this Initiate has obligations beyond just the Brotherhood of Steel.	
 	 	 	I won't take you away from Appalachia. As such, I'm granting you the unique title of Knight-Errant. 	
 	 	 	Why don't you come stand between Scribe Valdez and I so I may officially confer your title? 	
 	 	 	Now is not the time. We've got to find a way in, quickly. There's no time to waste. 	
 	 	 	Then it's decided. Initiate, head for West Tek. We've no time to lose. See you there. 	
 	 	 	Elder Maxson came to regret acting rashly there. Or have you forgotten? 	
 	 	 	Yes. If the doctor's associates are preparing to distribute the virus, we have to put our emotions aside here and get to them before they can. 	
 	 	 	Blackburn's punishment - whatever its form - can wait until Appalachia is safe. 	
 	 	 	Head to West Tek. Find and secure the entrance to this lab, and we'll follow behind. 	
 	 	 	Preventing Dr. Blackburn's associates from taking this horror any further must be our priority, and we may need the doctor to convince them. 	
 	 	 	They'll get it, but summary execution isn't the way. 	
 	 	 	It's not that simple. 	
 	 	 	We need him. This isn't over. 	
 	 	 	What are you doing!? We did not agree to this! 	Whispering
 	 	 	Let's move out. Eyes open. 	
 	 	 	Should we expect any further resistance? 	
 	 	 	Let's not get overconfident. 	
 	 	 	I can see you're troubled. You know what you're doing isn't right. Let's talk through this. We can come to an agreement. 	
 	 	 	I don't like it either, but what other option do we have? If we do nothing, the outcome will be just as catastrophic. 	
 	 	 	Don't make this worse. 	
 	 	 	I have to follow my convictions. I should have known that a stilted organization like the Brotherhood would never provide the outreach the world needs. 	
 	 	 	Back to our discussion. 	
 	 	 	We'll get through this. 	
 	 	 	I don't seek to pardon them. They'll be under constant supervision. You could even call it rehabilitation. 	
 	 	 	Yes, maybe some discussion will cool Shin's head. I've no desire for this to come to blows. 	
 	 	 	Hold on! We're not killing anybody! We will bring them back to Fort Atlas and have Scribe Valdez monitor their work. 	
 	 	 	Is this still about back then? You can't forgive yourself for your own mistake, so you refuse to forgive others, too. When will you put that behind you? 	
 	 	 	I can, and I will. 	
 	 	 	Wait, Shin. It's clear that we can't just let them go. 	
 	 	 	But their knowledge could be valuable to the Brotherhood and the people of Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	Blackburn was the ringleader, but he's gone. We know nothing about the others. 	
 	 	 	And of all people, you and I shouldn't fault anyone for trying to make a difference. 	
 	 	 	We shouldn't waste time searching. If you know how to brute force a terminal, now would be the time. 	
 	 	 	I don't do well with really big changes. 	
 	 	 	Take your time. You're a topic of celebration today. I'm sure they want to talk to you as well. 	
 	 	 	I'm disappointed Shin would turn his back on us, but... it's certainly better than the alternative. 	
 	 	 	There were times I truly wondered what I would do if it came to it... if Shin pointed his gun at me. 	
 	 	 	I know what I would do. So I'm grateful he didn't make do it. 	
 	 	 	I'm... mournful. I had truly hoped that Shin would never make me... 	
 	 	 	But what happened was necessary. Even now, I would do it again if I had to. 	
 	 	 	Now we can start making the Brotherhood the benevolent organization I always wanted it to be. 	
 	 	 	Our focus has to be helping the people of Appalachia. Reaching out our hand and making them feel safe. 	
 	 	 	This is a new dawn. Be proud that you were a part of it. 	
 	 	 	Flouting decorum, are we? You're lucky I'm into that. 	
 	 	 	And yes. I have noticed you. 	
 	 	 	Well, you certainly can be, if you turn tail and never come back here again. That's the reason I didn't make you a Knight. 	
 	 	 	Enjoy your freedom, and try not to insult me again. 	
 	 	 	Not currently, no. But seeing as there's never been a Knight-Errant, before, there aren't exactly any established rules for Knight-Errants, either. 	
 	 	 	You deserve it. Don't let the Wasteland tell you otherwise. 	
 	 	 	May it serve as inspiration for the rest of you. Dismissed. 	
 	 	 	Now, everyone, feel free to take a short break before your next assignment. You've earned it. 	
 	 	 	Friends, Initiates, faces new and old. I'm glad to see you today, but I'm afraid the occasion is somber. 	
 	 	 	First, I'll start with the assurance that the mutant threat has been cornered and removed. But it was not without sacrifice. 	
 	 	 	Knight Shin is no longer with us. 	
 	 	 	I will be frank about what happened. Following a disagreement on how we should proceed with the mission, Shin opened fire on me. 	
 	 	 	I was forced to ensure that the values and unity of our Brotherhood would live on. It came at a great cost. 	
 	 	 	I can't watch this. Farewell. 	
 	 	 	I had hoped it would never come to this. 	
 	 	 	There's a difference between "degeneracy" and free will. Maybe you'll learn that someday. 	
 	 	 	It's easy to follow an arbitrary set of rules, Shin. I'd rather make my own decisions, and learn from them if I have to. 	
 	 	 	Take them. There are plenty more willing recruits out there who would rather extend a helping hand than a killing blow. 	
 	 	 	Watch your tongue, Initiate. Your new overlord won't be as forgiving of your backtalk. 	
 	 	 	I guess the Elders' grip is tighter than I can break, after all. I tried to make you see reason, but after all this you remain their lapdogs. 	
 	 	 	The Brotherhood can't be changed after all. I will have to start anew elsewhere. 	
 	 	 	There's no need. You're coming back to Fort Atlas with us. 	
 	 	 	Is that truly how you feel? I trusted you. 	
 	 	 	You go on ahead. I'll bring the scientists back to Fort Atlas. Then... we can discuss everything that's happened 	
 	 	 	The Elders won't stop us, Shin. Neither will you. 	
 	 	 	The Brotherhood's mission has always been to use the power of science to guide us to a better world. 	
 	 	 	Rather than murder great minds, we will shape them into people who will serve that mission. And we will do it without barbarians like you. 	
 	 	 	Shin, you owe it to yourself to admit that you made a mistake. Stop crumbling under the guilt and just accept it. 	
 	 	 	How long do you intend to sweep it under the rug like nothing happened? You're torturing yourself, Shin. And they deserve to know. 	
 	 	 	You really believe that, don't you? And the other Initiates... they were trained by Shin. Indoctrinated with the Elders' values. 	
 	 	 	Perhaps transforming the Brotherhood is no longer possible, after all. 	
 	 	 	I'm glad to hear you say that. Unfortunately, I'm afraid it may be a breaking point for Shin. 	
 	 	 	Once he realizes his authority isn't respected, I suspect he'll run back to the Elders with his tail between his legs. 	
 	 	 	This chapter of the Brotherhood will become what it should be... with or without Shin. 	
 	 	 	I... hadn't wanted to admit this to myself. But you may be right. 	
 	 	 	And if it does come to that, well... I must stand by my beliefs. I hope you'll stand by them as well. 	
 	 	 	I hope you can see what we need to do here. What we need to do for the Brotherhood. 	
 	 	 	Then we must stand up for what we believe. We will not allow Shin to create a hateful Brotherhood which passes judgment as it sees fit. 	
 	 	 	This is human life we're talking about. Haven't enough died already? 	
 	 	 	Their methods were cruel and wrong. But no one is beyond forgiveness. 	
 	 	 	What matters is what they do from today onward. Let's give them a chance to make things right. 	
 	 	 	The scientists are to return to Fort Atlas with us and work alongside Scribe Valdez on a new project that we all agree upon. 	
 	 	 	These are smart people. They just need to be pointed in the right direction. They could still do a lot for humanity. 	
 	 	 	We should keep moving. No telling how close the scientists are to releasing the virus. 	
 	 	 	We can verify that once the area is secure, and send for Scribe Valdez to double check. Until then, stay on your guard. 	
 	 	 	Is this true? 	Speaking to Farha
 	 	 	Think about it. This is exactly why the Brotherhood exists. To safeguard technology. 	
 	 	 	I hate to admit it, but the Elders are right on this. We can't let them go, but we can't destroy what knowledge they have, either. 	
 	 	 	Careful! This room is wrecked. There are hazards everywhere. 	
 	 	 	I had every wish to worth together with Shin on my mission, and still do. But he is no longer open to discussion. 	
 	 	 	His loyalty to the Elders is unshakable. He would rescind his Oath before besmirching the Brotherhood's name. 	
 	 	 	Should he ever open his mind, I will be ready to listen. 	
 	 	 	While we had our differences, I still had respect for his loyalty, however misplaced it may have been. 	
 	 	 	One of my greatest regrets will be my failure to get him to see things from my perspective.

 	 	 	Your duties are what I say they are, Knight. Your objections are noted, but this is a direct order from your commanding officer. 	
 	 	 	Help us put on a good face for the local people. We've just moved into their backyard. They're nervous. Show them we mean no harm.	
 	 	 	I expect nothing less from you. As you were, Shin.

 	 	 	Initiate. Good, you're here. 	
 	 	 	Something you needed? 	
 	 	 	Enough of that. 	
 	 	 	Let's get back to what we were discussing, Initiate. 	
 	 	 	It's a good plan, and I think we're all in agreement on this one. 	
 	 	 	Find any evidence you can about the missing people, and any connection to the Super Mutants. 	
 	 	 	If Blackburn is there, I want him taken alive. If he really is behind the abductions, he needs to answer for his crimes. 	
 	 	 	You have your orders, Initiate. Good luck. 	
 	 	 	Dismissed. 	
 	 	 	Scribe Valdez is a full member of the Brotherhood, Initiate. And you've repeatedly proven yourself capable. 	
 	 	 	Unsurprisingly, Knight Shin and I don't see eye to eye on this. Fortunately, in this case we don't have to. I think they're connected.	
 	 	 	A Vault would be a great place to hide abductees. The Pip-Boy might even have come from someone that escaped. 	
 	 	 	Investigating the Vault is our best lead for either mystery, and maybe an answer to both. 	
 	 	 	The question facing us now is how to find him, and the people who've been taken. 	
 	 	 	Lucky for us, Scribe Valdez has made a discovery of her own while we were away. 	
 	 	 	The Brotherhood needs you to do this. We need you to do it. 	convincing - selling the import
 	 	 	There's no guarantees. But we have to move on this intel. 	
 	 	 	I'm glad to hear it. 	
 	 	 	Initiate, good timing. 	
 	 	 	Even so, I think we can both agree this isn't something we can ignore.

 	 	 	Attention people of Appalachia. This is Paladin Rahmani of the Brotherhood of Steel, broadcasting from Fort Atlas. 	
 	 	 	You are no longer facing the Wasteland alone. The Brotherhood has returned. 	
 	 	 	Our mission is to help you lead a better, safer life, free from the dangers left behind in the wake of the Great War.	
 	 	 	If you require aid, or if you wish to join us in our mission, find us at Fort Atlas. 	
 	 	 	A new dawn is here for Appalachia. Join us in building the future. Rahmani out.

 	 	 	I believe Shin was talking to you, Initiate. 	
 	 	 	Be careful dealing with those mutants, and be sure to offer help to anyone in need. 	
 	 	 	You see? We've wasted time sitting on our thumbs already. 	
 	 	 	I'm not. But if this foolish mission is what it takes to prevent full-on mutiny, so be it. 	
 	 	 	While you're out, I'll meet up with Initiate Dorsey to find out who around Appalachia is in need of help. 	
 	 	 	Maybe there are some resources we can spare without inspiring Shin to start a riot. 	
 	 	 	You're splitting our forces, Shin. Isn't that exactly what you wanted to avoid? 	
 	 	 	And where do you plan to look? Spending time on a meaningless chase will leave countless homesteads unprotected against the mutants.	
 	 	 	Well, there's probably not going to be any better time. Talk to us when you're ready. 	
 	 	 	What do you need, Initiate? 	
 	 	 	This is far more important than a patrol. We're talking about people's lives. 	
 	 	 	It's a risk we have to take for the people of Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	We can't sit back and wait for people to die before sending out our forces. We have to act now. 	Urgent, a bit frustrated
 	 	 	And how many people will die while we're busy "tracking the source"? The Brotherhood needs to be there when help is needed. 	
 	 	 	I'm surprised you would agree with me, Initiate. But yes, I am right. 	
 	 	 	Thank you, Initiate.
