Synth designation

Synth designations are multiple-character identification codes used for synths developed by the Institute. Within the Institute, they serve as a synth's name and are also used along with a recall code to initialize a factory reset.X6-88: "Yes, sir. Designation X6-88."(X6-88's dialogue)X6-88: "Designation B5-92 is holed up in the shack on top of the up-ended cargo ship."(X6-88's dialogue)

Each synth designation is formatted as follows:

* A is an alphabet character.
* Xs equate to numbers ranging from 1 to 9.
