Justin Ayo

Dr. Justin Ayo (username Ayo.J)Institute Robotics terminal entries; Robotics terminal, View Access Logs is the acting director of the Synth Retention Bureau in 2287.
==Background==
Head of the Synth Retention Bureau, Justin Ayo is essentially in charge of the Institute's security as well as its surface operations. Coordinating coursers and regular synth infantry units, it is Ayo's responsibility to project power and hit the enemies of the Institute. However, his haughty, demanding attitudes towards other departments come at the cost of his own department's respect, and many disagree with his methods, particularly those from Robotics who delay his requested courser upgrade packages. His incessant bickering and demands cause much controversy within the Institute, situations that his second-in-command, Alana Secord, has to rectify "half the time."Alana Secord: " We need to be able to collaborate with the other divisions, and that's a lot harder when they're always angry at us."The Sole Survivor: "What's Justin doing that's causing friction?"Alana Secord: "Oh, he's just pushy and demanding. He thinks his problems should be everyone's biggest concern. I have to admit, though, the other divisions have never taken our needs as seriously as they should. I guess they see us as a necessary evil or something. It's really not fair. Just listen to me. It's the first chance we've had to get acquainted, and all I want to do is complain. In any case, it was good to meet you."(Alana Secord's dialogue)
It does not help that whenever a courser upgrade is delayed or rescheduled, Ayo becomes infuriated and accuses other departments of purposefully spiting him. Alana has to work overtime in these situations, to prevent him from walking into said departments with a host of Coursers in tow.Justin Ayo: ""Alana Secord: "What now?"Justin Ayo: ""Alana Secord: "Please don't. There's enough friction as it is between us and pretty much all the other departments."Justin Ayo: " My methods get results, and they will this time. You'll see."(Alana Secord and Justin Ayo's dialogue) 
Technically, Ayo is merely filling the position of SRB director in the absence of Dr. Zimmer, who is supposedly away overseeing the retrieval of "high profile" synths.The Sole Survivor: "If you're the acting head of the SRB, who are you filling in for?"Justin Ayo: " In his absence, I keep things running smoothly."(Justin Ayo's dialogue) In actuality, Dr. Zimmer has gone missing,Institute concourse terminal entries; terminal, Status Reports but Ayo takes pains not to let that be known.

==Behind the scenes==
Sometime during the development of the add-on Far Harbor, the player character would have been able to interact with Ayo and Alana Secord regarding the synth settlement of Acadia. Although the dialogue itself for these encounters cannot be found in the game's files, placeholder audio recorded by an unknown person, likely a developer, remains in the files. Based on this, it is likely that this content was cut because the voice actors could not return to reprise their roles. In the final version of the add-on, Institute interactions with Acadia are fulfilled by a new character, William Moseley. An example of Ayo's cut dialogue can be listened to here.
