## Appearances

### Debut

Book One

Zoey Addams is a former member of the Brotherhood of Steel Medical Corps, and current field medic for the Commonwealth Minutemen. A loyal soldier, she served for years as a medic for the Brotherhood of Steel in both the Capital Wasteland and the Commonwealth. Having come to Boston aboard the Prydwyn along with many of her peers, Zoey mainly lacked traditional combat experience, typically operating behind a line of Knights and foot troops. Zoey's loyalty to the Brotherhood was rendered void, however, after Kairune and Rayne successfully escaped the Prydwyn. Having been a member of the flight deck at the time of escape, Zoey was one of several soldiers blamed for allowing the 'traitor' to escape, and as such, was punished with exile.

## Background

### Capital Wasteland

Zoey joined the Brotherhood of Steel as a young adult, which was contradictory to the wants of her parents. A citizen of Rivet City, Zoey yearned to extend her medical prowess to those that she deemed as in need. With a recent surge in recruiting due to the upcoming transit to the Boston Commonwealth, Zoey enlisted and was selected from a large pool of candidates to train in advanced combat medicine. Mere months later, she was set to depart aboard the Prydwyn to the Commonwealth. Most of her time was spent patching up BoS Knights returning from scouting runs, or supply retrieval operations. When the Prydwyn arrived in the Commonwealth, she spent the majority of her deployment working with Knight-Captain Cade in the ships infirmary, along with regular duties, such as flight deck crew, and interior patrols.

### The Escape

Zoey was assigned and stationed aboard the flight deck the day that Kairune returned with the captured Institute agent, Rayne. Zoey expressed concern over possible injuries to the girl, seeing that she was a mere teenager. Her concerns were only increased when Elder Maxson summoned both her and Kairune to his quarters for immediate debriefing. Zoey remained at her post, oblivious to the ongoings above deck. She was suddenly alerted to the sound of a vertibird taking off without clearance, and watched helplessly as it disappeared into the distance. Zoey, along with all eight other Knights and Scribes on the flight deck, were later summoned to the vessel's inner chambers to face Maxson.

Elder Maxson made a lengthy speech regarding loyalty and attention to detail. The speech also heavily reinforced his position on those he deemed traitors, condemning Kairune and Rayne to death for expressing 'sympathy' for the Institute and it's abominations. He then outed Zoey and the other eight soldiers, condemning them for allowing Kairune to board a vertibird and escape, despite them all being unaware of the full situation. Maxson then ordered that they all be stripped of rank and title, and undergo a year of expulsion to further emphasize his orders throughout the Brotherhood, casting them out. The group were authorized basic uniforms, and could select one tool to use to aid them in their exile. Although her initial choice was to be a laser rifle or similar item, Zoey decided to try her luck, and requested use of a vertibird, which was surprisingly accepted by Maxson, who told her that he hoped she would survive her exile. Despite this message, she was still sent out, alone.
