Good. Let's get right to it then. Shall we? Take a look over there. That's Fort Strong. And it's infested with super mutants. Having those aberrations of nature close enough to smell is making me sick to my stomach. To make matters worse, they're sitting on top of a massive stockpile of fat man shells we could use in our campaign. I want you to head over there, wipe out everything that moves, and secure that stockpile. Understood? This seems like a waste of time. Are you going to take the fight to the Institute? Good. Save that for later. Those abominations are playing nursemaid to a huge nuclear arsenal. If we leap forward strong unchecked, we have a potential security threat on our heads. We have a vertebra on standby fully armed and ready to depart use it to carry our message to Fort strong And wipe those dirty mutants from the face of the earth dismissed Stop doing that solution Fine, I won't rob you that bitch First six for seven Let's ride.

Well, nuke launcher, but they actually got the damn thing to work. And after seeing the real thing sitting right in front of me, I think they could be just enough to tip the balance of this war in our favor. I mean, can you imagine the look on the enemy's face when we get dropped into Anchorage carrying these babies? They won't know what hit them, boy. Is this guy stupid? Does he understand how nuclear explosions work? Fuck you. Fuck you. I am unstoppable! May live a coward. Touch me again with your filthy super mutant hand. Levels my strength? Uh, one.

This one, it's already there. How come there's switch? Do not fucking care, it's about the Batman testing. Gotta say, most of the terminals don't got a fan on them, huh? I mean, they can't tell the story of the area you're in, which is pretty cool, actually. Honestly, that story's probably pretty cool, too. I'm just mainly interested in killing supermews right now, if I'm being honest. I hate them! Yeah, I've been out here the first time lag oh there's less deep sweet Oh, that's the best drug, dude. Psycho. Do you think I'd watch the TV series? If it was placed directly in front of me, yeah. Otherwise I'm just trying to play video games, bro. I'm gonna be honest. I'm gonna be honest, dude. When faced with the prospect of playing video game or watching the media, I take video game 99% of the time Was there something in there, maybe I didn't see Variety is the spice of life. Yeah, that's why I play a variety of different video games That's why you eat a variety of different foods. Is there really nothing in here? Well, time to scat that, old boys. out of there. I changed my mind. Did I find the magazine already? I've not found a magazine here what if I'm getting late trolled by that chatter though what if I'm getting lay a big troll right now. Why would we troll you, Cool Emote? I probably don't need the magazine rip-offs. Ferarque and Neatertattans were zeppin' and want me rollin' for ze... Now watch me whip. Now watch me name a. Now watch me whip, whip. Of course the motherfucker's late. Paladin Dance. Look at this place. You must hate these mutants as much as I do. Why do you hate super mutants so much? Hates too gentle a word. These monstrosities are just another example of man blindly taking the step forward. only to wind up stumbling two steps back. I've been fighting for years, trying to put a stop to this madness. And just when I thought we were getting the upper hand, along come the synths. I've seen what these super mutants do to people. Can you imagine what the synths would do to us if they ever got the upper hand? It would be Armageddon repeated. And maybe the end of everything that we hold dear. Look, I don't mean to bore you with my rhetoric. I just want you to understand how important these missions are Enough preaching already. I get it swag. I Suppose you're right And judging from the corpses around here, you don't appear to need much in the way of motivation Anyway, that's enough of that. What's important here is that you got the job done and secured these warheads You should head back up to the Predwin and talk to Maxon. I'm sure he'll want to debrief you as soon as possible dismissed So you showed up did nothing and dismissed me This guy is truly my commanding officer is me Dan's was at the White House on January 6th. Oh, so he was a hero I wish he would heroically help me kill some super mutants. He shot the unarmed lady, oh that's not cool. Shouldn't shoot unarmed people guys. He gave mom a Murphy drugs, okay, so his base meter is going up again is what you're saying You're lucky I'm here on business I'm glad you feel that way because it only gets more difficult from here in order to bring the Institute to its knees we need to use every weapon at our Hello, Alurbean. Ragging the system. Fast travel for survival? That's cool. Where can I get more signal grenades? I'd use the supply I gave you sparingly. These devices are far more complex than a standard smoke grenade. Should you need more, you should acquire them from Procter Tegan. I could use some caps. The best weapon for survival out here is a pocket full of caps. Signal grenades are usually reserved for our paladins. In your case, you should be grateful that I'm making an exception. By now, I'm sure you're aware that Fort Strong was simply the first step towards the liberation of the Commonwealth. An even greater task lies ahead. By now, I'm sure you've deduced that our arrival in the Commonwealth wasn't coincidental. We're here because of a unique energy reading recorded by Paladin Dance's recon team. According to our scribes, the reading indicated a level of technology that only the Institute could achieve. The moment this information came to light, our mission became clear. institute and everyone responsible for the creation of the sense must be eliminated at all costs. To accomplish this goal we need to locate the institute's headquarters. I've had our scribes meticulously searching the commonwealth but they've come up empty-handed. Oh Steve you cheeky buck you know that they teleport. With all this technology at their disposal our scribes can't find an entire colony of people. the institute has managed to keep itself hidden for a number of years but it's only a matter of time before we find them i want you to get out there and become our eyes and ears on the ground you seem to have a vested interest in locating the institute before we met so i'm confident to travel in the right circles if you discover a way in i need you to report it to me immediately any questions night hmm seems like a bad idea to tell these guys where the institute is if i'm being honest any suggestions or I should look next you're meeting with dr. Amari seem fairly telling if the Institute has the capability to teleport it since and we're in for quite a fight there must be a way to tap into the teleport signal and your mysterious lead in the glowing sea could provide us with the answer if you need any assistance medicate all this second location speak to Procter Tegan I'm certain he'd be willing to help so I'm gonna do the make less aren't there any pre-war records about the Institute that might help us our records indicate that the Institute was born from the remnants of a pre-war education in the Commonwealth Institute of Technology the ruins of the facility are at the center of the city but we've already searched them thoroughly the location appears to have been abandoned long ago so it appears that the trail ends there anything else night not right now elder very well then Dismissed. Fine. Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa! You know, we never went here. open my personal storage container what? blah blah blah they're making up words Not a brus. Oh! for you. These will prove interesting. I'll file them immediately. Here are the caps that I promised. Remember, the Commonwealth is an almost unlimited source for these technical documents. Check every building you explore during your patrols very carefully. This guy has no idea, dude. I'd be checking stuff. Let's just say that It's dog food. So gay. Excuse me Captain Kate. Welcome back. I heard about the operation at Fort Strong. any actually I need some supplies scribes have been stocking us hmm what do we have worth money gun jambore let's gun jambore let's gun jambore let's Nice is self-service brother. You take what you need. All right. I need this hot plate. I need this buff out. I Need these Tato I gotta use your thing.

I have some butter! They can't hide from us! He's the don't harm Holy fuck Let me reload What's your step on the flight deck free war money, oh, yeah, let's sell some of our stocks for you. That's a good idea. I got a badge. Bucket Eagle. Nothing brings me to you for I am not wearing my charisma armor. Let us see a clean stripe suit fashionable glasses I was a power over stuff blame yeah look at a pic of fight I'll help you end it let me see what you have all of my weapons are mission chin diver I mean surely we find more of these, right? I'll keep it though. This guy got 737 ammo? Not bad. Hey, you want to buy this gauze rifle I found? Directly behind you. I want this in very distinct X01 helmet about this murder contract that I got free wall money maybe I stored it that's okay Now give me these and this. Sell the deathclones. Segen, can I help you with anything? Set me up. All of my weapons are mission ready. Are they worth, they worth stuff? Not really. It's kind of like you like smokes, big dog? How about a microscope? Steal and sell back the bad man? Let's go! He's a... Oops. Fractur. It's not a family. I'm sure I've got something that'll put a smile on your face. I'm not a fat man, you might be interested in, friend. Enjoy. Mwah, mwah, how much weight we got? Yep. I am fat. paper don't let Max's age fool you he's a brilliant tactician and experienced soldier I found you you can't hide forever it's you guys to stole my cigarettes how do we go up from here Why is he have a braum in school? I found it. Is this mindducks? I found it This is my dad Steve fuck storage Don't get me wrong. The research we're doing is exciting stuff. The life on this shift is a nightmare. I'm trapped in this metal tomb 18 hours a day. I still can't decide who smells worse. The soldiers are the Morats. And what passes for conversation among the grunts makes mutants seem scholarly. I'm gonna speak to Prof. Quinlan. Field scribes cannot have it this bad. Yep, you're getting demoted Drop one of these Knuckles knuckles Yes, it's gone. Is this not robbery? You're at a knuckle sandwich? Oh yeah, dude. Got it. Not as delicious as advertisements. You think the Commonwealth was trashed? You should see the Capitol wasteland. Nah, I'm good. I'm more posy vibes. We gotta go here. Which is main quest. I thought one of these guys could help us, but I talked to the dude who I thought could help us. I'm sure you've deduced that our arrival in the cockpit here because of a unique energy reading record according to our scribes I got one punch huh, that's cool Bernal, they're so Sir questions night Could those mysterious energy readings palette and vans as recontain detected be related to teleportation the level of technology that the Institute possesses I'll have our scribes focus anything else you we've already learned through brain gagging that it is teleportation I don't need this fucking cave man to mansplain me Maybe one more done with him. airport. Fly. Find Virgil in the glowing sea. Postcard pier. Oh yeah, sound I thought would happen, but whatever, dude. It's like mad shit happened. What? You're kidding!

Wait, what? I shall. Baboo's only for seven? Our spirits lie voting for the bard. Good night. Good night. This hot thing is such sweet smell. I'll bounce through the tower. And make us lose the good we have. My bin, my bin. I'll burn your life. I'll burn your life. They say you'll never reach. Hell is emptied. All the devils are here. Let me embrace the sour opacity for wise men say it is the wisest course. I am strong! Suffer! Suffer and bleed! They be talking. That strong one in it! Oh my god! The passion fight we strong for! Now! Ow! I You Don't get on okay, they don't work. That's good So laggy. of the death of death of death Holy shit. shit You want to go I pray if we took any bad acts. uh I Shoot them back through drugs right now Oh yeah! Energy weapon. We're gonna move that. We're gonna move that. Bitch. Bitch. What's a blood sack? Dude, I can't believe we made it out of Trinity Tower, guys. Cowl armor. Rats. Many thanks for that timely rescue. I just love rescuing idiots. I suppose that Bob was justified? I did act foolishly. Yes, well, in any event, I'm quite grateful. I'd like you to have this. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think it's time I left this awful place and returning to WRVR and resuming my career in radio. What the fuck did he give me? Charisma 3. Who the fuck is Reginald? Oh, I'm him now? Yeah, I got 9 Charisma. Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh. It's arrival mode damage. I'll put this four times, by the way. Yeah, but it's four times for the player and the the NPC. So you typing PEPW after typing that is not like a like a like a oh, you know what I mean? Like damage is increased on both sides. Flagrant misuse. Oh, yellow card. Flagrant misuse of PEPW. Here the level equalizer mod apparently once you enter an area locks the level to that lower level you saw the region at. What? Ohhhh. So when you enter an area for the first time, it sets the level. this mod updates it. It permanently sets the level. That's cool. So all these areas we can find the level 6 mods is because we've been there before because the level had already been set and it just never updated. That's cool. Here's the this cited example. Gunners Plaza and Counterzone has a minimum level of 35 and a maximum level of 99. If the player first enters the dungeon at level 25 the encounter zone level will be set to 35 because the player's level is below the encounter zone's minimum and the vanilla game if the player then clears the site out and returns after it has reset at level 95 the encounter zone level will remain at 35 due to the game's prevention of encounter zone level recalculation thus the player can expect to be fighting gunners far below the level on their second run through. If you explore early you get punished yeah. Get fall out for photo mode as well You need this Alliantay's beautiful bodies enhancer. Okay, literally just nude people I'm not interested in survival mode. I don't think the enemies are even enemies on Milo. I don't think they're particularly spongy. Can you add the mod which makes all death closets of females with huge gocks? I'm gonna add all of this in counters on recalculation, I think that's good, a good one. I'm just looking for the installation notes. Well, the fuck do I put this? Manual download. Data, F4SE, plugins, okay, I'll just put them in there. I should probably close my game first, I don't think it matters. Hold on. Go find milk of human kindness with strong. Why do you want to find this milk of human kindness? Milk is secret to humans. Macbeth say milk makes humans strong. Stronger than super mutants. Strong find milk. Drink milk. Supermuted stronger than humans Yes, I'll honor my promise good strong travel with human Human help strong find milk of human kindness Stronger secret of humans. Well, that's not bitch Goku Hey wait there stay here come on confused hold position strong way over here why can't I speak to this guy hey yes human I'm strong yes I think you all like other humans smart but weak strong stay with human for now hey what stop moving move here leave it too strong stay there don't forget strong come back how do I make him we got a second big guy yes human you're right here you can head home now human break promise not help strong find milk of human kindness strong go back to tower wait for human to change my yes go back to tower bitch blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla okay witz desktop A configuration file called EncounterZoneRecalculationIni is provided with a mod. There's a five line INI file that literally just turns it on. I'm not sure what I'm saying. I'm not sure what I'm saying. Sprints any like belly button. No, I say I and I because I like to respect its full title. Unlike you. D. Okay, why download it? You're gonna need a new save file if you don't want crashes. The mod you have installed contains a DLL plugin that has failed to load correctly. Continuing to load may result in lost saved data. I think I have the wrong version. as we a compatible yet this the guy who made this mod I just look through the comments He has an A version one. Or someone does. I don't fucking know dude. Yeah, it's just the DLL in this one. Weird. That works? Presumably. is our guard here i want to go pee get some coffee i can do that nice uh I don't feel like I had to do any other ones. I will be RB real quick, real quick. So I Oh, tonight, we have turned a funny light Wait for me to wave before joy, oh, yeah You can come to me like you just come And I can show the groove of every move Oh, yeah, I feel like I'm feeling just as fine Can't stop dancing all night long Jumping on a shaker, not nobody Can't stop dancing all night long Can't be no, it's so high that night long I I and Happy birthday, Sonata Pop! Every birthday sonata pop All right We'll see if it works, I mean we I guess we'll know if it works of Let's gooo here. Just gotta find like one guy. So basically the mod that I got, the game by default. When you enter a zone, level locks the enemies of the you can see it's the level that you first entered it. And the mine updates it so that it is the level that you are when you re-enter that area. I just gotta find one guy. Okay, I might have to take some silver. Yeah, we've definitely been over here already. Oh? Oh? Double nine. Let's get some milk up over here. Double one. I need to wait. Wait seven days at the sanctuary? Okay. Okay. Okay. Can you install it in mid-play through? I didn't see anything about not being able to do that. Honestly, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. Because the way that it works functionally is that it is updating in real time when it's supposed to work, right? So if it's going to continually update, then why would you need to install at the beginning of a playthrough if it is going to continually update? Why seven days chatter you fuck it won't be as someone in chat said that's when the cells respawn or update Oh, no Standard exterior cells on cleared locations reset in seven in-game days. locations take 20 in-game days this is number four I think Wait, this is number three? What does my armpit sweat not smell but my ball sweat does smell? armpit sweat does smell. It just doesn't smell to you. What? Five? The right armpit doesn't smell, but my left is fouled. Yeah, that's cancer. Six? I'm reading it so we can take some 30 in-game days. logs if it initializes to make sure it's actually loaded. Where's the log in the console? and the log file. Encounter zone recalculation E log file. Where is that? Not telling. Hold on. Let's try my documents first. you you you you you you you you you you you you I Don't show Ryan. Thanks for something This mod is an F4SE plugin that modifies the game's code decision making regarding when to calculate an encounter zone's level to affect the actual calculation. So what is it doing then? What is it? I don't mind typing it out, I think. I can't go more than 24 hours. Are you serious with this music? What's wrong with a little L-classy go, dude? Is there not a, uh... console command to force reset all cells? What does that do? Purge cells. In the vanilla version of the game, the location is fixed at a level between minimum and maximum value through encounter zones. We first, as the location level picks, depends on the player level and can never be lower than the minimum or greater than the maximum. After that, the game spawns enemies from a spawn table based on the level chosen for that location. These spawn tables are used only to differentiate between enemies of different levels. levels. The main issue is that the spurs of the par level in the museum are limited, especially when this is the mod. I decouple emu level from encounter zones and instead use encounter zones to determine enemy tier rather than a gunner major simply being a higher level version of gunner conscript. So my gunner major gunner conscript will be the same level, but a gunner major will have a higher tier... we have a higher tier of them. Alright whatever, we're good. I think we're good. We good. Yeah, we're good. Where's your boss? I'm sorry. I will be right back, don't be like that. I Where's the traitor? Man, what a... Where's the traitor? Yeah, whatever. Huh? Are you awake for some- Shut up! Oh, wait, hang on. Mm-mm, that is the Vault-tec rep? Yeah, and then I sent him to Vault 88. So now he's underground again. What's up? He gets to live his dream.

Alright buddy. Yeah, I'm punching through. Hey, there was actually elevator music. This is a car on my apartment that I want to endear myself to. What should I do? Oh, cat. Not car. of I'm going all out. I think we have to restart our game. There came the last double duration, I thought. Echo Jet should only last like 21 or 17 so I guess that's what I should do. We got a restart! Game speed 1 to fix it. That doesn't fix it. This changes the game speed. It's doing other stuff too. The thing that you would have to do is uh... It would have to be a console commander to remove my uh... specs. I guess I'll go fuck myself then. Yeah, you should. Oh, fuck yourself! Did I miss a door? What? I hit the button and then I read it. Stop fiddling with your beard. It's weird. My beard feels cool. I gotta go back down, fellas. Beardlets wouldn't get it. Yeah, what's wrong, little guy? Can't grow a beard. Ha ha ha ha.

Where are you? I gotta reload once again. Where's your reload with F9 instead of the menu? When I did the long drive silent stream I set up like six or seven different hotkeys through OBS and I'm too lazy to go back and check if I used F9 so I'm spending the extra 0.7 seconds to navigate the menu to do it. Okay, hold on. We have to go sit down. Wait, how did I... Oh my god. Try killing yourself and reloading. Wait, they wore off. active it yeah there it is where was that door hot local gay cats in your area wait did that guy is that Like I do a little trolling. Did you do a little epic trolling chatter? Barry Barrington, you can sit up. We'll rank chemists, so you have just the first rank. And let me tell you that... I don't require any troubleshooting on this particular matter, it is literally just sometimes the drugs never wear off. And now reloading does not work. Gotta restart the game. Fired the spell off spells. Okay, but then when it went... I guess I could keep doing that. Why was the marker out here for a little bit? Uh Son of a bitch Argh mother fighting My I'm so pathetic. I'm carrying two rocket launchers on me. Take off the suit to see the rads. I also got rad-X going, said. Give you what, like 10 or 11? Vault tech distressing. What the fuck is this?

This is a chatter. me father was wrong where I'm stealing there's who Wait, what's the zone I just- Uhhh, okay. We're gonna get the weird radiation freaks. We're gonna be like, ooh, yeah, ooh, I love radiation. Hi. Hi. None will escape the great divine. They will release to all my wretchedness. He will make me clean. That fucking ghoul out there? Adam will lead us all to glorious division. The world will be shown Adam's glory. Oops, sorry. Hey. May Adam bless you with his glory. What the? Bless you with some petty thieves. Thievery. Thieves. gonna leave you stop right there stranger you approach atoms holy ground why state your purpose or be divided in his sight you people live here this place is a dump you are not one of atoms chosen save your judgment for those who care what mortals think you're worshiping what? radiation? you're crazy atom provides for and protects us if you are unwilling to accept his embrace then i suggest you leave and never return do you have a moment? what do you need of me child? i'm back i'm looking for someone named Virgil have you seen him? yes i know of him what do you want with him i just need some information from him he has sought refuge with adam i would know more before i tell you where he is what do you want with him uh that's my business not yours he has come to the glowing sea seeking adam's shelter it is my business state your intentions what do you want with him yeah i'm threatening you i said it's my business Now, are you going to tell me or does this have to get ugly? I do not trust you. I will speak no further of the matter. You will leave it once, and never return. Do you have a moment? What do you need of me, child? I'm looking for someone named Virgil. Have you seen him? Yes, I know of him. What do you want with him? I need his help reaching the Institute. I have heard of this Institute. They hide themselves, trying to avoid the power of Adam. A futile effort. In truth, this Virgil has caused some concern. Some believe his presence is an affront to Adam. Though he came to trade with us on a few occasions, we have had little other contact with him. It was quite clear he wanted to be left alone. You can find him south-west of the crater, living in a cave. I would approach cautiously where are you? I feel he does not want visitors. Do you have a moment? What do you need of me, child? Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you. You are kind to offer, but Atom has provided us with all that we need. Drops you a pinhole. Got a blast! He's outside the world man. But now... Is he no clipping? Check their rad resistance? They're immune! Meanwhile, I'm in my pussy-ass fucking Asmat suit, dude. Re-upping on radax. I wonder if it's always storming when you come out of here. guys we're entering the back rooms be careful target eliminated Is anyone else getting major fallout vibes from this game? Yeah. Take off your suit. Nah. I'm getting huge fallout vibes from this actually. Now that I think about it. Dude, I don't know what the fuck. Sit down, bitch. We're at no fucking inventory space. You know, we do have the Grilled Rad Stag, and I'm already affected by that. And we got Bup-Bop going. I made a mistake. bro just here to talk that show then talk fast nice glasses got gold rims I need your help my help with what how did you even find me anyway I'm just a guy looking for information on the Institute the Institute so they did send you didn't they? You're working for Kellogg's? Kellogg's been taken care of. Dead? He's... dead. Don't you lie to me. It's the truth, bro. He's dead, whether you believe me or not. He's not saying it very significantly. It's difficult to believe. Kellogg was ruthless. Of course. There's a reason the Institut used him to do their dirty work for so many years. The make-up of like, yeah. I knew they'd send him after me. He's dead. Cut the pair apart. But I still wasn't sure I'd make it. And so you...you killed him, eh? Then what do you want with me? Why did you leave the Institute? I know you came from there. You know about the escape? But how? No. It doesn't matter. I'm not going back. I can't go back. Look at me! Why are you even here? You look cool. What do you want? Uh, I need whatever information you've got. Anything to help me get into the institute. I'm sorry. What? You want to get into the institute? Are you insane? Never mind how nearly impossible that is even if you were to succeed it it almost certainly end in your immediate death what reason could you possibly have for taking that kind of risk it it doesn't matter if you seriously want anything from me you're going to have to do better than that trying to find my son the Institute kidnapped him No. Oh no. I had no idea. I'm sorry. Yeah. The Institute has taken people from the Commonwealth in the past. If your son is one of them, I can understand why you want to get in there. I can help, but I'm going to need something in return. Not a chance. I'm not doing anything for you. Then I'm afraid I can't do anything for you, good luck finding your way back to wherever you came from. Steve's not very good at navigating social encounters, unfortunately. He's not very good at it. Hey, Virgil. What? I need your help, my help. With what? it doesn't matter what does is what you the Institute what makes you uh-huh uh-huh I know you were part of it and you escaped they sent Kellogg to kill you how the hell do you know any of that no it doesn't why are you even here I need whatever information you've got and I'm sorry you want to never mind what a good reason. Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. If you seriously want any. It doesn't matter. If you seriously... it doesn't matter. If you seriously... Can I keep trying? Will it work? It doesn't matter. If you seriously want... it keeps popping up... It doesn't matter. If you seriously... I don't think you can do it. I'm trying. I had... I... agreed. You help me and I'll help you. Alright. If I help you, you're going to do something for me. Before I was forced to leave, I was working on a serum to reverse this mutation. It could return me to normal, you understand? So if you get in there, I need you to find it in my old office and bring it to me. I think that's pretty reasonable in exchange for helping you. Alright? Let's talk details. things first you know how synths get in and out of the Institute teleporter yeah they use some sort of teleporter well well not many know about it pretty closely guarded secret you've certainly done your homework well well referred to as the molecular relay I don't understand all the science behind it but Yeah, I did, end of memory. It was the guy who looked like Blade. Skinnier Blade. Oh, is he Salt? Thanks for subbing, Bale Bad. Thanks for subbing, Coder. Thanks for subbing, Mental Mentality. Thanks for subbing. Have been good. TGB and Venti Ta-Moon and Jay Breck and TBR and others. If you complete this quest, I'll actually have one of the four factions in the game, FYI, so be aware. I'll actually have the Institute. I don't know if I care. Sure. Lots of them. Oh shit me, more than one of them and you wouldn't be standing here right now. Coursers are Institute synths, designed for one purpose. They're hunters, operations go wrong, a synth goes missing, and a Courser is dispatched. They're very good at what they do, and you're going to have to kill one. Let's go, just point me in the right direction. I suppose your enthusiasm counts for something every Corsair has special hardware that gives that I'm like dark aided piercing down relay in the Institute. It's embedded in a chip in their heads You need that chip, but to get it You'll have to find a Corsair now. I don't know exactly where you can find one They haven't sent any after me and sitting here waiting doesn't seem like a good plan You're going to have to hunt one down. I can tell you where to start and give you some outfinding one But you'll have to do the dirty work Okay, okay Right the primary insertion point for courses is in the ruins of CIT Directly above the Institute, so you'll want to head there now Now, the relay causes some pretty heavy interference all across the EM spectrum. You've got a radio on that pit, boy. Right, would you get to the ruins? Tune into the lower end of the band and listen in. You'll be able to hear the interference, follow the signal, and it'll lead you to a coarser. Then, you just have to... not get killed, not gonna lie. The odds aren't in your favor here, but if you do make it remember what I said about the serum I need it badly. I I wonder we can give it to strong and stuff you find what you're looking for Dang I might just grab this, so I don't have to, uh, oh, no, let's just make it so I can retry and still live. No point. What if we leveled our Charisma? Upgrade strength? I'm so weak. Pathetic. When over encumbered, you can fast travel. What the hell? Isn't there a Christmas one that makes you better without a companion? Yeah, I got that. Yeah, I got that. Probably going to stop while we get to hear that. Maybe. Good medic. Oh, I'm overweight! Um, hold up. God, we look so cool and like not like we're wearing pajamas. Project and serve. I could take the launch box but not the thing inside of it. I wonder if I can kill this guy. You find a course, but don't underestimate it. No, IHP. No good if you're... You cannot kill this guy. You are a captain. A captain always makes mistakes. The wolf gang is a little protect and serve Well see you later nerd There we go You find a Corsair don't I get it dude, I get it. They're really scary. That one song from Blade starts playing when they appear. Will the magazine give something for Energy Weapon? Energy Weapon. We've been here. I'm overweight hmm let's go drop these two rocket launchers off shall we Weapon would be cool to have this one on us, but I don't feel I'm just not gonna use that thing. Oops. Oh, that one will be in there. 2 plus 3 Charisma, that's nothing to shake a stick at, young man. Shut up. I got so much death on me, holy moly. Yippee! And now? Psychogev. And now? Psycho. And now? Psychogev. Chauvin Adeli? I'm dry aging my meat in this locker right now BTW. say you to that. Bar. What we're gonna do is we're gonna keep. Death Claw steak. Uh, and the rad stag. get that bitch in there and we're gonna put literally everything else in here I'll keep some of these Goodbye. Goodbye, goodbye to the steak, meat. What's going on? What's up? Fuck you. Sorry. Let's ride. The Steve Bucks penis still intact. Nah, he lost it. Cleaning the latrine during the war. Shut up. fucking dumbass bit-rater. Ewww. Have I installed the ghoul brothel mod? Nah, what is that one? Sounds neat. I think I got to go in there? Maybe not. Nah, we totally got to go in there, don't we? Maybe not. I bet that's where we find the horses. Now we tune to the signal. Guys it's not over here. is not over here. Guy, he on the roof. I can't get up there. Okay, let's go in the building. Into the rotunda. time to die someone's dead ok, it's time to your guys you guys have fun of so bright I was checking to see if I had actually lowered the brightness I did fuck you to me, coarser a Yellow paint nothing Dev come I thought that would hurt me Yeah, where's the turret? Up ass? You can't just say up ass for everything, dude. Not everything is up ass. XP game. Is that similar to Updog? Yeah. Not everything is Updog. Some things are Downdog. And some things are horizontal dog what's horizontal dog log? Bumper down, bum, bum. Telephone. This guy's gonna be so pissed when I roll up with me, pipe gun. He's gonna be like, I am the ultimate super soldier from Dada Institute underground. Upcap. And I'm gonna be like, oh yeah? 3 years in Alaska cleaning latrines. The courses on the second floor, kill on site. Send reinforcements to the lobby in case there are more. What? I guess are we friends or any friend friend or any friend or any if What's going on down there is everything okay and reinforcements human man Human man request reinforcements. Hey sap, a sap. Oh. Those are some cool shades though. of I want the drugs. Give me the psyches. this bloodless unquenchable. Dude, am I the new Kellogg? I'm just merking these level one jobbers, dude. My how the tables have turned. They were trying to plunge the money down the toilet, dude. That is not how that worked. Big gun? What's the purpose of these blocks? You play with them? Okay, what if you're not in me? I'm going to throw up. Hold on, dude, hold on. Where's the dead guy? This guy. Cool slam. I can't wait till we meet Johnny Gunner upstairs and he's like, hold on bro, we're here for the same reason. And then Steve Buck is like, fuck you, I don't work for anyone. And then Steve Gunner's like, that's not even what I was talking about. And then we got a double one. Oh, good. Stop, dude. Bitch. I wonder if there's a mod that gives every enemy a missile launch. How do you win? I don't see anything. Every enemy batman. uh-oh That's not good, buddy You're trying to find the giga robot from day one not yet I know that robot of business though Got it the mother turns up every project island of Batman bomb But what do you do with people shooting at you? Die, that's it. You just gotta use Jett. Just be constantly high on Jett. You know what I mean? Wait check. We good. What the fuck was I going? We came from there. So fellas. What the... Last mistake! Yup. I'll see you in a second, I'll see you in a second. You are out of here! We chill. Yeah, we've killed so many humans, actually. I like to think about, like, the death count. Like how does his mother fuckers sleep at night? It's simply is Dothnaught compute. Like we've actually killed like hundreds of people. Steve Buck has the 1,000 kills stare. To think he could have been, he could have been the government's most powerful murderer, They were they relegated him to latrine cleaning duty His inherent potential unleashed in the apocalyptic ways Technical documents Ooh, wait, we actually need those. Can you make stealth boy? I kind of blew through a couple... Oh. Ah! What? That did so much damage. I did so much damage. Kiwa, the death loss take. Alright fella. I guarantee if I look at this it's gonna be like turn off turret? Question mark? Fall back to your original position! The horses here are deallinated! Holy... Jesus! War. War never changes. Have you guys heard that line before? So... Stop. Stop. Okay, we missed a lot of bullets there. Ain't no one shooting Steve Buck. Steve Buck does the shooting. I feel like it's over, man. Yo, oh, I hit a modified gun. So this is the Institute's old building. Can't wait to hear the cheesy villains' story. The horse is after this girl. Anyone alive needs to get up to the top floor immediately. That's in order! What girl? Could it be Suzy Institute? Maybe. Maybe they're after Susie, Susan fuck. Steve fucks dead wife. Maybe the one that they killed in Dupod was actually a sin. Wait that would make sense though because the memory, unless they modified his memory to make it make him forget that they were placed. Steve Buck's wife with a synth. Maybe Steve Buck is the synth? No, I think we are a synth. Sweet. That's real. How? How long called us a backup? Nice Oh fuck ultra Jeff Whoa Giga jet win. Oh, 22. You're dead, mate. You know, enemies drop a lot of stimpaks, huh? I was a I was football today guys was it epic two people died that's so sad man so sad that it wasn't more stop pretending to care no I'm trying to take I'm trying to take interest in your guys's hobbies dude I guess they're big footballers like I'm talking around the year footballers likes like religious footballers What's that blood cup? Warm. Mentats. It's what's for dinner. 50 million Americans watched the game. Says who? What fallout drug would I take? IRL? Probably Mentence. AKA the Austin Special. Be careful. Be careful. I'm through. Opened. You need the int? No, it's about the perception, dude, so I wouldn't have to wear glasses. When I say there restarts the script to open the door. So it actually fucking opens my teletube. Is it really just two fusion cores? Hmm, I wonder what who the lady is. Oof. Sweet. I didn't miss a bobblehead. You're the guy literally saying that to baby dude. And then when I go back, you're going to type Javadeed or Tom Fulery. I refuse. I refuse to be gunned. I still know! You don't have to do this, please! Was hanging with my girl when I missed Big Dog. He's not real, bro. You're having another episode. Now watch this. Saves. . . . . . . Alright, be honest, who here is eating glue? Or sniffed the glue? Gen X, check. I'm in. Sniffed? Only sniffed that shite and got an AMI Math test afterwards. What? Your sif sniffs so much fucking shit man. They're like the old four locos back in the day? Never had one. I'm cool with that. I'm cool with that. That guy's a sniffer for real dude. Big snip off. Like I said, I've snipped so much shit, man. You're better off 4Loco than Ransom. I found that a lot of popular energy drinks, or like, I guess a 1.4Loco was an energy drinker, was just an alcoholic one. I found that a lot of them are just like 60% too sugary. You. Come here. What's up? Hey. Are you here for the synth? Z247 initialized factory reset. Authorization code Zeta-53-Kilo. How? D...you. Wait, what? How did I do that? Who told us that? I don't remember. Oh, Mama Murphy. Oh. Yeah, we killed her. You got a cool outfit. I'm not aware of that one for a little bit. It's a fucking sin! You can't make me care about that. Uh, let's see here. Hold? Now we are- oh, wait, hold on. I We do look kind of cool right now Excuse me, please Well fellas, I gotta be honest Just a number to me What the regular ones look like? Now we are talking, dude. Regular ones, right? Hi. Hey. Hi. He... He deserved it. I know you're not here for me, but... I can't get out. Not on my own. I'm going to have to trust you to help me. If you knew me, you'd probably think otherwise. I guess... I don't really have a choice. Do I? Looks like you've already found the password. I did. Use it to unlock the terminal. And open the door. You cannot be for real So hi, thank you. I don't know what to say who are you my Institute designation is K-198 but I prefer Jenny so yes I'm a synth if you haven't already guessed I knew they'd send a coarser I just didn't think you'd find me so fast I think I would have lost him too then I was captured by these mercenaries and all this happened thanks again for your help I'm gonna look for supplies before heading out and before you ask no I I don't need any more help. The Commonwealth is unforgiving. I need to make it on my own or I'm dead Maybe we'll meet again. Do you meet her again? I hope we do Nugget. Do you actually, do you meet her again? Did you meet her again? I don't want to kill her right now. No. You don't remember. You actually don't. Depends on choices. One short bus ride away from hell. Huh? There's a chance it was not impacting any way. Let her go Steve. Let her go. and add synth component to necklace Hey, it's Fat Man number 9, dude. Let's go! Too heavy to carry, huh? You're like a thug. Half the coarser trip, the coarser chip analyte. I noticed how you don't mutilate the male corpses. Oh yeah? Wait, I missed, I missed loot? Pfft! How's that for male mutilation? Captain Lapin is the same, the internal head, Now there's performative now! This one? I assume this was just the exit. I gotta find the terminal. Dude, I literally have to... Bro, I have to sit here and wait for the screen to complete. It's open now. This isn't an FPS bug. What can you do? Wow. I guess we were the fallout all along. two four all out four Who where's this quest marker? We're mine prayer We got to go to good neighbor We you know, I should look around a little bit there Ah Imagine not jumping off What you did There's not everyone appreciates the bar am I right haha so true white chapel Charlie's got some work Greetings! You enjoying yourself in good neighbor? It's a heck of a town, ain't it? Hey, Irma. You like the decor? My business partner hates it. So she's not the fun type. You're back! The glowing sea, Virgil. What happened? Mmm, well, you know, took a radiation bath, hung out with a big green guy, then... Then I pulled this encoded chip out of a coarser's neck. He was not happy. We look cool We're still cheap you fought a coarser. Oh my god Unfortunately, I can't help you. I've worked on a lot of synths, but never a coarser I don't know what that chip does let alone how to decode it, but there are people who might I Work with a group that well They're the only ones I know that even have a chance of cracking Institute security. They're called the railroad next up the railroad you need a code phrase in order to find them follow the freedom trail good luck in my secret club the code phrase is just two words awesome in me yes well that's not going to help you here but I'm sure someone with your creativity we'll be able to figure it out. She looks so disgusted by us. We're just fair. Here we go, Atlas. I think we do Atlas, boys. God damn, Steve. Now what What's the charisma hat on? Arisma. Arisma. What does this look like? It's just like homeless. Railroad can decode that coarser chip. You just need to find them. Where far off thou? Find the railroad. This is it, Red. Follow the quest marker? Put up an AC for 7? You were always a kid, eh, Steve? Is there actually a quest marker? No, there's not. That's funny. We randomly stumbled on this at, like, level... Level... level 7. 6, 7. Who the fuck is it? What are you... Look at that. Shut up. Wendy's are McDonald's tonight? Um... How about neither, bro? How about that? Whoa There we go Well, that's giga cancer I suppose I'd need to do to So I remember it being like on this road we walked up to this right Let's go this way. Or maybe it was like... Let's just walk in a quick circle around this big. Blind? You guys think it's this one? The red line. How'd you guys figure that shit out? You smart? I don't understand. What is this telling me? Oh Oh, should I drop our shit off? I can't edit my clothing here. Are you blind? wait how also I'm not so I'm not gonna say no but I would like you to elaborate just want to warn you by doing this mission you've locked yourself out of having hair in real life. Well, what can you do, fellas? I guess we'll do these. Jeffery thanks for subvences yo I'm Grease Goku. What? Do I have hairy legs? No not really. predictably I am not very hairy as you might imagine if you couldn't figure that out you know me What's up? Nothing. We're back, I'm gonna get some coffee. I'm gonna leave the game, uh, I'm supposed to have some classical music. Okay, doggy. Nice. I got it. you you you you you You Don't take offense to Marci. She's working through the loss in her own way. you you you you you You Where the fuck were we right here I don't get the red line. I didn't realize that... What's up, guys? two and a alright Steve you're really puzzling this one out you're stroking your field right now what's up stroking my shit guy What's up, dude? No. No, I don't think so. I'm following the red line season it would appear I'm being shot at dog detections What's the song then? Grock, what is the song? OH! Here's Rocket. I fuckin' missed. Huh? I'm safe here. What's up, guys? Ow. Now, let me shoot the rocket now. What level is this dude? 35! Stop! Stop. Don't. Oh Holy Can't see. Little bitch. I think I got it. Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum. Where's the red line I lost, uh- found it! Giga barrel on that laser rifle? Do we not have the best one? I thought we were locked in on the best one. Fuck, where was it? Right here. you you you you you you you you you you you you There's gotta be another way, dude. This is like the beginning of like modern era hand-holding games. Hold on, let's mess with those real quick. Hmm, it springs. Well, that's not right. Dude. Motherfuckers. As I was doing it, I was like, there's no way they're expecting me to, like, it's gonna be recorded somewhere. Nope. Drug. Never mind. Like, every time there's been like a door that needs a pan, password or anything like that I'm falling the answer has been like right nearby Well one and are I'm just gonna write down I see it. I think it's this way. I found it. Did it go through here? Yeah. 5R. This is the second one. I It's drive-by cancer For Well I mean, I assume it's a safe code, but I don't know. This probably light up. Could it be that I have to... I miss some of the you know what it is if it's a if it's a five If it's a five-letter thing... At first I thought it was like a safe combination. Or you go left, right, left or whatever. No. I have to start over. Make some noise. Here we go again. I don't know if the number is something that the order of the letter supposed to be in we only have four five and one and one our matches with the last one that we got so I'm I'm literally missing two, three. I've seen a lot of boat nays. The question is, does it spell a word? Because we, we could, we could intuit. Like if it's a word, it probably has something to do with the American Revolution, right? See, at first I was like rebel, maybe, but that doesn't fit. Revere? No. I don't know, we got, we literally have to go look again, I think. I don't know. I don't know, mate. Excuse me. I don't know. I don't know, my... Hey, excuse me. You know what it is? Where did we see... Hold on. Is this one right here? Gun and R. Yeah. Oh my god. 8? 18x. We did miss some Whoops whoopsie daisy What the hell That's super mutant leg, bruh. Um... Okay, I feel like there should be one right here now. What building is this? well it's keeper steppin five five are I already got that one. Free eye. How'd I miss this? Genuinely of the Now a 6 and an O. Uh, 6, 0, 1. R, R, X. Railroad. No... All right... So the thing with like... Does it matter which ones we use. It's gonna be fucking good, dude. Come on, Mia! Where have all the ten of us? What? What can this be? All righty. There's only one A. There's only one D. Yeah, with the- there we go. With the letters that I found? Stop right there. You went through a lot of effort to arrange this meeting. But before we go any further, answer my questions. Who the hell are you? uh who are you why don't you tell me who you are first in a world full of suspicion treachery and hunters we're the since only friends so answer my question put down your weapons first until I determine you're not a threat we'll point our weapons wherever we damn well please who told you how to contact us make something up I helped Carl out of a jan he knows a guy who knows a guy and they hooked me up with a weed we'll look into last question why are you here I need a course or chip decoded you have what this is not a joking matter. I didn't know we were having a party. What gives with my invitation? Oh, I see you invited the Corsair Killer. Nice. Deacon, you're late. You're saying this intruder actually killed a Corsair? Single-handedly? Oh, that'll give even Gloria a run for her money. News flash boss, this guy is kind of a big deal. If you're done interrogating him, you might want to show this Corsair murder in Sheena, little courtesy. Is that Johnny Cage? Just a thought. I owe you an apology. Anyone who kills a Corsair is good in my book. I'm Desdemona, and I'm the leader of the railroad. Quipo. Quip. Quip that bitch. Oh, yeah, yeah. The little riddles and the decoder ring trick. Really makes it hard to find you. Anyone that wants to meet us is under surveillance as soon as they follow the Freedom Trail. If you were a threat to our organization, all you'd find here is an empty room. Des, we need to let him in. He's got an intact Corsair chip for God's sake. That violates our security protocols. To hell with that! He killed a Corsair. There's no way he's working for the Institute. We're letting you into our headquarters. You're the first outsider ever to be given this privilege. We'll discuss the details about your chip inside. Are we charisma'd up right now? Hold on, we might have to swap out first. Alright, we got nine. Don't try anything, stranger. We haven't fun yet? Hi. We haven't fun yet? Alright, man. Talk to the boss. Excuse me. Excuse me. Saw some of you working on the jail. Not bad. Are they all synths? That's gross. Get grossed out. Thanks. of course her chip is a very delicate operation a million things can go wrong the least of which is losing the data fortunately we have the right man for the job so you're in the the mac and cheese over there you're busy not bad don't try anything stranger So, hey, dude, you need something? There's Tinker Tom! Whoa! For real? Oh, man, it's the ages! Right. Some ground rules. Tom can get you the code, but once he's done, we get the Corsor Chip. No way. That chip is mine. To anybody else in the Commonwealth, all you have is two caps worth of salvage. With us, that data is priceless. But we're not just going to give that away. Talk to me again if you change your mind. What? What did I just... Oh. What's the point? Made up your mind. We decode the Corsair chip for you. But after that, it's ours. Deal? Fine. It's yours. Alright. Tom, make it happen. Alright, little Corsair chip. Let's have the circuit analyze the tip of the crack at you. We're in. Chip accessed. Just poke their analog connectors a little. What? Oh, man, don't don't don't crash. Hold it together. Memory hit up. Here it comes. Encryption algorithms. I Surprise she died He didn't die. Here he comes. Encryption algorithms. Alright. Alright, let's do a runnin'. Oh, man. They've added more decimals to the last lifer. This is gonna be... Come on, baby. Show me that pattern. Where is it? They're using the same logarithmic function as the key generator We got lucky. I got you your institute bastard. I got you Softly in come on Show me that sweet base. No, come on Then we got it. We got the code Let me load that on to the hollow tape. What yeah good work, Tom Yeah, but I'm not sure I'll look a hold up next time does start working on the rest of the chip and you I'd love to work with you more. Let me know if you're interested But to be crystal clear if you use that data and discover anything involving the Institute You share it with us first. Otherwise our relationship will be in jeopardy There's more going on and you know trust me. I Don't want to work with you guys If we're going to be dealing more with each other I need to make sure that we're on the same page You know what a synth is, right? I've heard rumors. What are they, really? The Institute created them. Synthetic humans. They're mostly organic, part machine. Somewhere along the line, they became more than just constructs. They think, they feel, and they act just like you and me. The Institute treats synths as property, as tools. Aren't synths just machines? And machines are tools. They started that way, but if it's impossible to tell a single difference between a synth and a human, they must be treated the same. So we seek to free the synths from their bondage, give them a chance at a real life. I have a question, the only question that matters. Would you risk your life for your fellow man, even if that man is a synth? No, probably not. No shame in that. Every person needs to know what they're willing to die for. It might be best if you kept your distance from us. Not for our sake, but for yours. The Institute wouldn't hesitate to torture and kill you for what you know. Deacon can show you out. Where are you going? Yeah, where you going? Where you going? Where you going? Yeah, where you going? Fuck! Where is- oh, he's out here. We'll file out separately after you leave, best not to attract attention. Excuse me. So you answered the big question and took a pass. Dez is a hardliner, a live and die for the cause kind of lady, but the truth isn't so cut and dry. Listen, are you interested in the railroad? Learning more? Maybe joining? I thought she turned me away though. complicated. Would Des like every time to can harry it to be here only to help since? Yes absolutely but we live in the real world and here we can't turn down help. We need every able body we can get. So you interested? No I'm not. Hey we're not for everyone. Come to think of it we're not for practically anyone but if If you change your mind, you get the idea. Can't help but notice I still got a quest marker here. Hey. You change your mind about us? Interested in learning more? No, I'm not. Hey, we're not for everyone. We'll file out separately after you leave. Best not to attract attention here. What just happened? Come on! We've got trouble. Jesus! I'm just gonna kill him all. I think. All righty. Yes, one million drugs. The thing is, I can't kill Deacon though. Do it with the Brotherhood? Alright, I was already planning on telling the Brotherhoods. Alright. See ya later! My app is depleted. Rilla wrote a very apt name. Can we teleport down here? Yubi! Car batteries into ocean. Says, hey man, can you go to the nearest large body of water? You have so many batteries. I got you, bro. Wasn't sure I'd see you again. You managed to get what you need? Corpum. I just went out for a little stroll, but I'd stop back and say hi. It's a good thing you're survival and my humanity aren't at stake. Otherwise, I might be annoyed by your attitude. But, fine. I shouldn't have doubted you'd come back. You did get rid of Kellogg after all. Not too much of a leap to take down a Corsair. How'd you manage to get it decoded? railroad company oh god those cooks I would have expected they'd be too busy trying to liberate vending machines or setting computer terminals for a year sorry they just have something of a reputation you're not the only one who's been busy I did the best I could from memory and things I overheard through the years came up with some schematics for you wasn't easy these hands are ridiculous find motor skills have gone to shit here's the symbol explanation you need to build a device they will hijack the signal the Institute uses to teleport courses and send you instead you know the craziest part of the design that classical music station that's the carrier signal for the relay all the data's on harmonic frequencies. You've been hearing it all along. I want to be clear that this isn't my area of expertise. I was bioscience, not engineering or advanced systems or anything. Level, your confidence is staggering. Just saying. I can't guarantee it'll work. But, if you can build this device and make use of that code, you should be able to override the signal from the institute's relay. Can you? I mean, can you build it? You have people that can help. This is a lot for one person, even you. Oh, I know just the group of people. I got it covered. Good. Good. Because you've gotta make it in there. For both our sakes. And don't you forget our agreement. I've helped you as best I can if you make it in there. You find that serum. It's my only hope for ever being... normal. So you find it. Now go on. Take these and get to work. You do whatever it takes. Call on whoever you know to help you. See you later, fool. I'm gonna go talk to... Brotherhood. Yippee. Shut up. Outrank you. Your job is doorstop. Don't care. reading recorded by Paladin Dance's recon team. According to our scribes, the reading indicated a level of technology. The moment this information came to light, the institute, to accomplish that fact, the only... That's where we... Well, guess what? This is your lucky day. I have a way inside. The method is used to serve needs to make it work. Perhaps we should pool our resources to achieve our common goal. Now, indulge me for a moment by satisfying my curiosity. Tell me why you're so eager to get into the Institute. Aren't you the least bit curious what they have in there? Don't allow the allure of their isolation to cloud your judgment. Together, we'll make them pay for their crimes. I'll call ahead and brief Proctor Ingram. Report to the airport and get to work on the project right away man I gotta fucking get I better gotta get a bunch of resources unless you like getting shot never turn your back on the gun surely there's no way that we don't have enough resources right Yeah, I killed him. I'm based. You're in a bit of a wall stare in any room? Feel that? Elder Maxxon said you'd help me build the signal interceptor. Yeah. What does your new miracle device do? Did you know the institute has a teleporter called the Molecular Relay? Take a look. Molecular...what? No. Molecular transmission via encrypted RF waves? Okay, even I have to admit. That's genius. This explains why we've been picking up anomalous energy readings all across the Commonwealth. Not to mention how they get their tin soldiers to come out of the damn walls. And this little beauty allows you to literally hijack a return signal. Instead of grabbing the intended target, it grabs you instead. Impressive. Enough with the technical talk. Chompin' at the bit to get this thing built, huh? Me too. It's difficult to make out all the details here, but I'm thinking you can get started by building a stabilized reflector platform. It's gonna take a cargo hold full of high-grade metal, but I'm sure that we have plenty of it right here at the airport Just tell me what we need so I can get started. Sorry that I'm boring you No, I'm not of everything you need to find you're also going to need a massive power source to get the signal interceptor running What I can't build here where's the workshop in ass stop saying that dude stop I guess we can go to the marker. Alright, let's see what we need. Okay, that's pretty easy. Okay, why not build it here? So I can run around, do you? ammunition or weapon mods, Dr. Tegan might have- Dr. Ingram. Any luck building the platform yet? Yeah, did that shit insta, dude? I glued a bunch of parts together and hoped for the best. Good enough? Hey, you're the one that's gonna be standing on the thing. If it blows up, it's gonna hurt you a lot more than it'll hurt me. Here's a list of everything we'll need. Now, I know some of that might as well be in Greek, so I'll be around if you have any questions. Be my metter, relay dish console. I'm on it proc. I hope so. Oh one last thing before I forget it's important that all the components are wired together So all the pieces are on a single grid Otherwise this isn't going to work if you need any help I'll be over that. I wish you good luck night sure Whenever we left click to skip the dialogue our character interjects by a going Yep. Molecular beam-o-matter! Whaaaaat? of of of of of of of of All right. a freaking biometric scanner, dude. And it's not showing me. Great, 2220. Nice, dude. Nice, 27. 28. Do I have Science 1? I don't think so. Okay, now we can finally see what we need. Ceramic. Fucking Jesus. Steel rubber copper ceramic. And then we need a biometric scanner, which we have many. Windmill. Meh, we'll bear it. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Snap this over the reflector pad. Oh, god damn it. I wonder if it has to literally be under it? Move! Who are you? Is the carpet fucking it up? Yup, look at that. Meow, meow, where are those insane power craters, we'll be in a minute. Yup. I cannot interact with this while she's doing that. getting here on survival and then like not having your supplies. Shut the fuck up. I I got 38. No problemo. Oh, let's see here. Screw. Scremmelf. Gear. Oops. Scremmelf. Feel. Like 300? I don't know. Oh, I fucking know, Mike. Probably not nearly that much. Or I didn't feel like doing the math at the time. Copper. How much copper do we have? Not much. Ceramic. And we're good. Linking your settlements with supply lines gives you access to the mats at other settlements? Oh shit, that's crazy. How much charisma do you need for that bro? It's curious. Uh-huh. I'll find another time. Uh-huh! Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ah-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da! Ugh! Oh Oh Now we need No. Cease. Small. one So I did it one last quib Lab rat, standing by? All of us are aware of the risks you're taking. And we salute you. That being said, this is the first time we've attempted to directly adapt Institute technology. When we throw that switch, we don't know exactly what's gonna happen. God willing, you'll end up inside the Institute, and the mission can continue. Unless I end up inside Solid Rock? Let's hope it doesn't come to that. Now. I want you to listen very carefully. Once you've entered the Institute, We expect to lose contact, so it's imperative you remember everything I'm about to tell you. About 10 years ago, the Brotherhood began recruiting civilian scientists from the Capitol Wasteland to assist with various projects. During this process, we were able to obtain the services of Dr. Madison Lee, a noted mind in the field of nuclear engineering. Interesting. A nuclear engineer. Interesting. Securing useful resources during war time is critical that said dr. Lee's contributions to our cause were instrumental in maintaining order in the capital wasteland after some time she developed differences with the brotherhood and exiled herself to the commonwealth we're fairly certain that her intent was to make contact with the institute is there a point to all this just giving you the proper background soldier we're just inside the institute we want you to track down dr. Lee's whereabouts if you find out out that she's still alive make contact with her and convince her to return to the Brotherhood of Steel. There's a special project we're working on and it needs her attention. What's this project that needs her attention? Dr. Lee previously worked on a potent weapon for the Brotherhood of Steel. We'd like her to continue where she left off. That's all I can tell you. Listen to me, Knight. I'm well aware that you're risking your life going into the Institute blind just keep your mind on the mission and don't let anything they say sway you from your duty good luck look at that fucking chin dude What? Let's go dump our shit real quick. Where'd I get that armor, dude? Shut up. I hate coming here because I have to listen to you. You're a bitch. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. That doesn't matter. Standard Capacitor X Plus. Wait, what? Oh, it's a plasma rifle. Ah. Wait. I can't even put it back on. Where'd the mod go? My hella dub am I stupid no I went in here and I attached a different mod it And hat this one equipped. Okay. Is this my inventory? Yeah. It says laser though, this is a plasma gun. What just happened? That's a laser mod? I'm telling you right now, I removed it from a plasma gun! Chatter! You did oh, I did how come I couldn't put it on this one of the one , this You can't reinstall it because you need the perk. capacitor X plus. What is that? Hold on. I'm done. Who the fuck is that? Overcharged. Overcharged. What is this? Where are these, where are those options there? Short barrel X plus. are bugged. According to Google AI, it's a bug. Weird. According to these, it's nuts. nice nice that was epic now that was epic I don't need my vision, I don't think. some gyro compensating lens. And the thing does like way more damage now. Let's see what this looks like. It's okay. It's okay. I don't hate that. Scope sucks. Nah, you sucks. Also, fuck you. In that order. in that order. Uh, get in there, dude. Get in there, dude. Get in there, dude. Sweet. Why doesn't Steve fuck a technophobe? Oh, he is. Every time he shoots this gun, mental damage. Doesn't stick up way too much space on the screen. My FOV is... What's the default FOV? 60 I get off duty that sounds very steak It looks dead put one more in its head for good measure. I take that chance. Check it out new gun Look, I'm no one cares. Use a laser musket? I have. I have. Steve needs his jacket. I gotta keep my charisma gear on, cause I don't know what's gonna go down over there, so... I've checked and rechecked everything. I think the signal interceptor is ready to go. Are you? One of our FOB is for camera the other ones for items I've got some things to do first. Yeah, I think the first one me I think the signal interceptor is ready to go. Are you? Am I muted? Let's do this. All right. Head up onto the platform and we'll see if I can find a signal to lock onto. Are you in or are you out? Make up your mind. Let's see. Relays dialed in. Beam emitter is warmed up everything looks green. Let me start scanning for the signal She's supposed to be over here the code now Wow, there's a heck of a lot of interference in ghosting I'm from opening fire inside of this It could jump out of our entire... This little trip you're taking is a GO AWAY! opportunity to find out as much as we can about the Institute and what they're up to I put a clever little program on this hollow tape that'll scan their network and download anything it finds What if you place it in any terminal down there it'll do the rest bring it back to me And I'll see if I can make sense of whatever it found well well looks like we have a winner RF wave capture complete ramping the emitter 60% 80% emitter spiking but steady all that's left is to throw the transmit switch Transmitting in three two one stay safe soldier I'm in. I'm coming, Sean. I Turned it off Guys, I can't believe we finally friggin made it, dude. The Institute, Instant-Toot. Hello? I wonder if you might make it here. You're quite resourceful. I'm known as Father. The Institute is under my guidance. I know why you're here. I'd like to discuss things with you face to face. Please, step into the elevator. Why would I do that? Like how there's a little door here, I can... Oh, near my... I cannot make my own path. Whoops. of us. I'd like to show you that you may have the wrong impression. Welcome to the Institute. This is the reality of the Institute. This place, these people, the work we do. For over a hundred years we've dedicated ourselves to humanity's survival. how decades of research countless experiments and trials a shared vision of how science can help shape the future it is never been easy and our actions are often misinterpreted by those above ground someday perhaps we can show them what we've accomplished but for now we must remain on the ground there's too at stake here to risk it all as you've seen things about our unstable I'd like to talk to you about what we can do for everyone But that can wait. You are here for a specific, very personal reason. You are here for your son. That's the twist. Wait. I'm hearing some footsteps. Why is it so luminescent in this bitch no way to pick this They got the wrong way only opens for the key don't have the key There's no way I could have gone the wrong way, that's one one way path of ruining dude. I can talk to him! Sean? Yes, I'm Sean. No, you're not. Sean, is that really you? Who are you? These bad people, they stole you from me. Father, what's going on? What's happening? Sean, are you okay? You're not hurt, are you? you what's going on father father I'll kill them Sean open the door I don't know you go away father father help me there's someone here help me please Sean I'm your father talk to me just open the door father help me he's trying to take me father father help me fucking snitch Sean S923 recall code Cirrus yeah fascinating but disappointing the child's responses were not at all what I anticipated he's a prototype you understand we're only just now beginning to explore the effects of extreme emotional stimuli. Please try and keep an open mind. I recognize that you are emotional and that your journey here has been fraught with challenges. Let's start anew. I am father. Welcome to the Institute. I could kill you right here, right now. Yes, yes you could. And I would be powerless to stop you. Quibble. God, all we're missing are the tea cups and the white rabbit. Ah, levity. Excellent. I sure assign that you adapt quickly to stressful environments. But I need you to realize that this situation is far more complicated than you could have been. You have traveled very far, and suffered a great deal to find your son. Well, your tenacity and dedication have been, it's good to finally meet you. After all this time- I knew it, dude. It's me. I am Sean. I am. son. What do you mean how, mother fucker? Really you? After all this time? Yes. He's got the same eyes! Which I said. 60 years. That is the reality. And here I am, raised by the Institute. And now it's Lisa. Kellogg abdexed him when he was a baby. But Kellogg did not look that much older when we found him. And he wasn't a ghoul. And when we killed him, he had the cybernetics. Okay. But he didn't highly modified. Well, all this motherfucker had was like a cybernetic Reb cage cybernetic leave a bar and then like the fucking brain relay That's it like what apart from that what indication Why is this dumb motherfucker smile what other indication Did we have that like maybe he was an agent They stole you. Kidnapped you. Wasn't right. Right. Wrong. Irrelevant. It was necessary. The Institute believed humanity's future depended on it. At that time, the year 2227, the Institute had made great strides in synth production. But it was never enough. Scientific curiosity, and the goal of perfection drove them ever onward. What they wanted was the perfect machine. So they followed the best example thus far. The human being, walking, talking, fully articulate, capable of anything. So the weird science experiments needed specimens. That's why they took you. In a manner of speaking. Yes. The institute endeavored to create synthetic organics. The most logical starting point, of course, was human DNA. Plenty of that was available, of course. But it had all become corrupted. In this... Wasteland. Radiation affected everyone. Even in their attempts to shield themselves from the world above. members of the Institute had been exposed. Another source was necessary, but then the Institute found me. After discovering records from Vault 111, an infant frozen in time, protected from the radiation-induced mutations that had crept into every other thing in the Commonwealth. I exactly what they needed. And so it was my DNA that became the basis of the synthetic organics. Used to create every human-like synth you see today. I am their father. Through science we are Family the synths me and you why is this hair blue anyway? Lever I Don't believe you there's no way any of this is true. I wish there was something to say I I know this isn't what you wanted, but it's the only truth I can offer you. Ruben, you're my son? Then prove it. Now. I've already told you how I came to be here. I don't know what further proof I can offer that would convince you. I've shown you my trust. Your weapons haven't been confiscated, and I stand unarmed before you. I guess this is like a suspend disbelief moment like it like in the like Baldur's Gate or whatever when like a an important story character dies or whatever like you know that the magic exists to like resurrect that person but like for the purpose of the story they have to remain dead. You know what I mean? It's kind of the same thing with the whole like, oh, I was a baby, but I was not a weighty, because I was in devolved. You know what I mean? When like, there's medicine to like remove radiation from your body, right? Or like, how am I supposed, How am I supposed to believe? Not your DNA? Okay. These motherfuckers created entirely synthetic human replicas, okay? Alright. They can teleport. You're telling me they haven't figured out how to fucking modify DNA? You know what I mean? Like that's their bottleneck? Oh, fuck dude, like we can literally teleport wherever like you know what I mean All right Let's talk then I know you must have questions please Anything I can do to help you understand Your mother she never got to see you grow up. Yes Has it always been easy? Of course not. But I've done my best to move on and live my life. For many years I never questioned who my parents were. I accepted my situation. And that was that. With old age comes regret. And asking what if more often. But... What matters now is that you and I have a chance to begin again. What else can I say to ease your mind? Kellogg. He worked for you? Kellogg. He was an institute asset long before I arrived here. It wasn't until I became director that I learned of all the things he'd done. What kind of man he was. You knew the man was a psychopath, but you used him anyway? Would you have preferred that I turned him loose on the Commonwealth? At least keeping him on a short leash kept the collateral damage to a minimum. The Institute took advantage of Kellogg's vicious nature. I will freely admit that. Institute technology prolonged his life and his usefulness far beyond any normal human lifespan. He never failed the Institute, but his cruelty became more apparent with every completed objective. I won't lie It's no coincidence your path crossed his It seemed a fitting way to allow you us To have some amount of revenge. What else can I say? Calock figure that out too So you're in charge of the Institute? I am the acting director, yes. I spent decades working to reach this point. It's a responsibility I take very seriously, the Institute. It's important. It really is humanity's best hope for the future, no matter what those above ground might think of us. But, director? Why you? I was the most qualified for the position. Obviously. I've lived my life within these walls. Dedicated to science like every other member of the institute. My hard work has paid off. Ultimately, the Commonwealth has nothing to fear from us. Whatever you've seen or heard, I know I can convince you of that. Give me time. I know there's more for us to discuss. But the Institute is on the verge of some important breakthroughs. Your presence would be appreciated as we approach them. I've been a part of something amazing here. I've helped to build a life for myself and the people of the Institute. And now, after all these years you have an opportunity to help with that. Doesn't that intrigue you? Isn't that what you want? Maybe. I... I don't know. This is so much to take in. I know. And I am sorry. You have been through so much in such a short time. The Institute can provide a better life than anything above ground. You've been in the Commonwealth. You've seen what it's like. I assure you that you are better off with us. How can you say that? How can you be so dismissive of all those people? Everything we've done. Because it is the simple truth. And I believe you know it too. I simply ask that you give the institute, me, a chance. A chance to show you what I've been telling you. We really do have humanity's best interest at heart. Will you take that chance? Yeah, why didn't he unfreeze us? Why didn't he? Alex said you were a backup. Yeah, because we were not a radiator. Is your fucking psycho? Maybe he wasn't the boss until recently? Dude, he was promoted a week ago! Yippee! So he knew everything. He knew we were there. He knew his mom died. courtesy of the Institute this guy's a megalomaniac, dude and first you a remote signal got you out of cryo? did it? I just thought that it failed I can't remember it's been so long No, it just failed. That's what I thought. That's what I thought. Why wouldn't he say that at this point? Are you sure you want this? Yes I am. It would benefit us both to work together. I'm afraid if I say yes, it's going to lock me in other stuff, but I don't think it will. I want to see what else he has to say. Alright, thank you. The institute is now your home, as much as it is mine. Please take some time, get to know it. Meet the people you'll be working with. You want to introduce yourself to the division heads, Dr. Fillmore in Facilities, Dr. Ayo in SRB, Dr. Holdren in Bioscience, and finally Dr. Lee in Advanced Systems. They've all been notified of your arrival of course, meet them, and then we'll discuss what comes next. Sean, about this synth. You mean the child? It's a fascinating project, really. There are issues to be solved, of course, but we've made remarkable progress. You made a child's synth. That looks like you. That's... it's... it's an abomination. It's a synth. Not a human being. A simulacrum. Try to be more open-minded. I'll make sure it's brought back online in the near future. You'll have an opportunity to interact with him further. But, now admit I'm curious. As a parent looking for a child, looking for the younger version of me. What do you think? Do you think you could love him? Like you You would a real boy. It's not you. It's not even human. I could never love that. No, perhaps not. But in many ways, he matches what you've been searching for all this time. I wouldn't claim to know everything you're feeling, but if in some small way the boy's presence can help, I hope you'll keep an open mind. Sean, this truly is a wonderful place, isn't it? Rose fucked up. Hey, Robin, dude. So I just walk away from him? I think it like dinner or something. Black Joe I think or so. You think the story's been good so far? I think it is a good story. I think it is a good story. It has obvious plot holes, but like, I don't know, we're not done yet, so. I think the biggest hangout for me is... Okay, there's a couple of things. I mean, and game developers do this even now. But, I mean, and I said it before too. Less of the fucking dialogue tree, more of just like letting a scene play out and like having a character that is like, Like, I don't give a fuck if I get to choose what I say. You know what I mean? 99% of the things that I chose in the dialogue for you ultimately don't matter anyway, because the person that I am calling a piece of shit doesn't give a fuck, specifically in this game. They don't give a fuck if I call them a piece of shit. They just, they're just like, alright, well come back when you're not so rude then, and then you talk to them a second later, and then you go through the same fucking dialogue tree. Me personally, I'm sure most human beings would prefer if, I'm telling you straight up right now, if there was, if you had no choice to make a dialogue, like to make a choice in the dialogue tree, that like every, if the main character was written a little bit better, more more interesting like dude it's just lazy it's just lazy that's it because it would be harder to write a character that is interesting that is making it its own replies that is having an arc it's harder to do that than to be like yeah He said he did he quipped you know everything like I don't know And if it affected stuff It would be different but that's my biggest complaint It don't matter director access synth shut down Well, there's one plot hole for it. Right here. Kellogg Conrad enhanced life expectancy. 2285. What year is it? 1337. 1-3-3-7 2-2-8-8 when you wake up, okay. A living memorial to a forgotten program is an augmented human being, a cyborg, really, and the benefits he has received cannot be denied, but really a scientist here could not care less about the hints, reflects the critical beneficiary. Now, the cause of the great envy is something more practical, more primal, is enhanced life expectancy. Just how long will Kellogg live if he passes naturally? However unlikely that may be. It's hard to say. He's already more than 100 years old. Older certainly than any other human in the Commonwealth. I can't confirm sightings as to how I voted 111 and again a damn citysit time later what that means I'm not sure will we actually meet was this all for nothing. I've learned valuable things about myself my past either way I cannot afford to let emotion in the way I must simply observe and record I'm told Kellogg has gone offline strangely if I myself thinking of Dr. Walker it's such high hopes for Kellogg's such faith in the implants and what they could mean. I still got to eliminate that project but I know where it would have led us Walker was never shy about his goals and too many others starting to listen in the end I believe I was justified the Institute's about preserving humanity not some bizarre amalgamation of biology and technology. Fuck, what was the name? It was called Grog-Nac-The-Barbarian. I don't think so. Network scanner? Got you, bitch. Why did he make the kid specifically? Oh, there's a weird twisted little sociopath, man. Glory hole. Where the fuck am I going? Oh. Alright. All right, there's a guy down Almost done just need to tighten up this primary drive. So they weren't kidding you really are here. Well, all right I'm Allie. Allie Fillmore. You can think of me as the institute's chief engineer. When father told us about you, I could hardly believe it. You've been through so much. I think most people would have just given up. If you don't mind my asking, what was it that kept you going all that time? I wanted to kill the son of a bitch who murdered my wife. Killing always was a cold bastard. If you asked me, we're better off without him. What kept you going? Psychojet? So, now that you're here and you've spoken to Father, does that mean you're on board? I'm not on board with anything. No? And yet here you are, poking around. One might find that... suspicious. If you're not planning on staying, I'd recommend keeping your hands to yourself. Wouldn't want to give the impression you're up to something. And consider having another talk with Sean. He really is anxious to have you with us. If there's anything else you'd like to know about the Facilities Division, I'm happy to discussing I'd like to know about the people in your division of course Dr. Lawrence Higgs is our mechanical engineer he offers power distribution as Dr. Evan Watson he coordinates with bioscience to we also make use of a number of synth that's a third primary drive breakdown this month hi as the institutes requisition vendor I can provide supplies for your missions on the surface. How may I assist you today? I'll take a look, sure. Hmm. Ooh. I can't argue with that. Even so, I'm ready to see the full gym 3. Oh, don't worry to have this. Yeah, it's expensive though. Black Institute Lab Coat. What'd that look like? Okay. I- I recognize that my sleeves are black. Heh heh heh. But uh... Like... What? What was the reason they made these sins what was the fucking reason what was the reason what's the purpose You have time to examine my latest reports on match 274 not yet I've been reviewing father's plans to expand our operations of war He's eager to get that going, so I've had to put everything else to one side. I wonder how the Warwick family is doing. Young Wally must be close to ten years old by now. It's remarkable that any child can survive for so long up there, don't you think? I... I try not to think too much about it. We have more than enough to occupy ourselves here. Those people are the last remnants of a dying past. It's best not to dwell on the subject. They're still people, and they're suffering. we can at least admit that it's regrettable after all how can we hope to redefine mankind if we can't even hold on to our own humanity well that's a question best left to our colleagues in the robotics division yes well i suppose you're right the latest synth generation is just amazing those guys in robotics are working miracles hey doc welcome so good to have you here Dr. Clayton Holdren, head of the Bioscience Division. I can't wait for you to see the work we're doing. It's truly amazing. I'm sure it's fascinating, but that's not why I'm here. Of course, I completely understand. Before you go, at least let me give you a brief overview of what we do here. I promise I'll keep it short. As the name implies, the Bioscience Division specializes in fields of studies such as botany, genetics, and medicine. Our most important directive is to ensure the health and well-being of everyone in the institute. To that end, we cultivate highly specialized breeds of flora for use in food and medicine. We've even started to explore the idea of synthetic animal life. You probably saw the gorillas. They're really just a pet project at this point, but the potential is exciting, nonetheless. The gorillas are since too. They are indeed. Judging by your reaction, We've done a good job making them seem life-like. The initiative is still in its early stages, but the prospects are very exciting. I'm sure I've taken up enough of your time as it is, but I have to ask. Have you decided whether you'll join us? I doubt it. I just don't think I'd fit in. It's a big decision, I know. But it's also a rare and important opportunity. No need to rush to judgment. In any case, I imagine you'll want to continue looking around. Or, if you prefer, I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. You mentioned medical care. I might need that from time to time. In that case, you'll want to introduce yourself to Dr. Dean Volkert. He's our top biologist, and also serves at the Dr. Volkert Works in the Infirmary. Just, you won't find better medical care, right? the director Holdren seems very part of me yeah why why Guerrilla behavioral anomalies, six handlers, six synth handlers have been destroyed by guerrilla attacks. They're very violent. Well, the institute killed our wife. In cold blood, actually. The guy literally killed her just because he got angry. And then our dumbass son became a giga genius. You got fucking indoctrinated? By who? Believes this dumb sense shit. fucking am I like these guys are just stupid sweet like why the fuck is there option like oh yeah let's just make a bunch of fucking like human like robots to operate on the surface for us, so we don't get radiation poisoning. Why isn't the option like, oh, why don't we just like, discover a fucking isotope that can remove the radiation, you know what I mean? I don't know, that seems easier and less dangerous to me. then creating an entire race of like conscious beings that are shown to be like over and over again over over and over again even the fucking synth With gorillas are killing people, man. I wanna talk to her a little bit. Wait, what, look what they're doing! That doesn't sound right or give a TED talk where you said the dialogue isn't important because most players skip through it. That's the mindset over there. Yeah. Well, I want to talk to this guy. Hi, Doc. your home. What do you do here? Oh, I'm in charge of housing and provisions. It's my mission to ensure that everyone lives a comfortable and productive life. You should know that many of us consider it a great honor to have you here. Newton. Good to see you. Feeling well today. Yeah. Operating at full capacity. I'm seriously thinking of heading over to robotics to knock some heads together. What now? Did I turn off the interferometer? Maybe I should take some courses. It's an honor to meet you, sir. You're here. Please land you made it. There's enough friction as it is between us and pretty much all the other departments going soft on me a lot my methods get results and they will this time as well you'll see courses on the hunter relentless you see one you should stay out of its way doctor so hey yo here you are just a nail acting director of the synth retention bureau I'll be a front with you we're going to be keeping a close eye on you for the near future despite your relation to father you're a bit of an unknown quantity I'm sure you understand there There won't be any issues, will there? Why? Don't you trust me? I'll be honest. You're an outsider. The first outsider to be allowed access to the Institute in quite a long time, in fact. There's little precedent for this situation, so it's only natural to take extra precautions, hmm? It's nothing personal. I assure you. Now, Father has asked that I provide you with a brief overview of the Synth for Tension Bureau. Our primary responsibility is the recovery of escaped synths that are hiding among the human population on the surface. So basically you're the secret police. Secret police? If that's a pre-war reference then I'm afraid it's lost on me. Our main instrument is the Corsair, a third generation synth assigned to operate on the surface. Corsairs hunt down and reclaim synths that have escaped the institute. They are highly self-sufficient, trained in combat, infiltration, and tracking. In a word, our coasters are relentless. But I gather you know all this, since you've encountered one already. In fact, I'd very much like to know how you defeated it. Like, am I supposed to believe that all of this was orchestrated by our son? Like a Jerry ringing the fucking teleportation pot like pad with the you know what I mean like Or was our kid content to literally just let us Wander around yeah, like how could he have expected that I would eventually get here is what I mean How? I hate to break it to you, but your coarser wasn't all that tough. Hmm, then it's likely the unit was defective. It's rare, but faults could occur from time to time. I suppose I'll have to ask robotics to perform detailed diagnostics on the entire production run. As if we don't have enough problems. Now unless you need something else, I'll get back to work. You actually paid 10 charges to learn everything from chat? I'm asking questions out loud right now. Like I'm kind of like it's kind of like train of thought, right? I'm not I'm not reading the majority of what chat says to me because I want to find out. So I understand that the concept of like thinking can be difficult for you chatter, but this is this is what it looks like when it's not like internalized. is when a video game streamer is speaking out loud, this is what it looks like. If you're the acting head of the SRB, who are you filling in for? Dr. Zimmer holds that position. He's supervising the retrieval of some of the more high-profile units. In his absence, I keep things running smoothly. Oh, you're done? Come here. You're done? Justin. want and please make it quick. I'd like to know more about the synth reclamation process. Fine. Once a Corsair has located a rogue synth, it uses that synth's recall code to wipe its memories and render it inert. We then begin the delicate process of restoring the neural pathways to their original configuration. In those cases where the procedure is successful, the synth returns to duty with no memory of its time on the surface. All too often we're unable to repair the damage and are forced to dispose of the unit entirely. Dr. Ayo. Yes? What do you need? I'm not done. You mentioned that Coursers undergo special training. Tell me more about it. The SRB constantly monitors our Gen 3 synth population, looking for specific traits. Those who show tenacity, fearlessness, and independence undergo a rigorous training regimen. We teach them armed and unarmed combat, investigative techniques, psychology, and mechanical skills. Those who pass a final evaluation become coarsers. The rest have their memories wiped and return to their former duties. Not done, Justin. What do you want? And please, make it quick. I'm good for now. Thanks. Very well. Now I'm done, bitch. What the? Yolink? Oops. Crickets. Tommy Launagin, the combat zone guy. Crash Cat Carla! Doc Weathers, we've met them dude. AJ, we killed that guy. Uh, maybe we met Maraschki. Henry Cook Barkeep. Lucas Miller. Theoretical limits are made to be broken. Perion, sir. You smell like you've been above ground. How do you know? Hm? Have I done the DLCs yet? I've done the Mechanist. And it was an accent. Hehehehe. So now... Oh, Vault 88? I didn't know that. She's been at it for over two hours. What does she even do? She'd be first. Nothing. Remember at this point she's just doing it for fun. Yeah? Where is she? Hey Doc. Oh, hi there. Sorry if I seem distracted. I memorized five sets of design schematics and now I'm doing a detailed mental comparison. What are these are these teleport Maybe they stun sense Dr. Brantley for seven T the low six for seven Well, that was productive. Don't care. from HR like for seven excuse me dr. Lee oh it's you you're not authorized to be here oh flip I don't think I have any more plus charisma bit rare where are you going I thought you wanted to talk oh it's you you're not authorized to be here actually I was looking for you me why I've been sent by the Brotherhood of Steel to find you you don't beat around the bush I'll give you that. I knew it was just a matter of time before your people would track me down. I've been looking over my shoulder for almost a decade waiting for them to send someone like you to kill me. No, I just want to talk. Fine. Hmm. Since father trusts you, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt. I might not agree with everything he says but I know he'd never allow harm to come my way. Say what you came here to say and then leave me alone. Are you happy here? You We'd think, being surrounded by cutting edge laboratory equipment and some of the greatest minds the world's ever known would be enough. Only problem is the lack of transparency. I don't think we get the full story on everything that occurs down here. What does that have to do with why we're talking? You should return to the Brotherhood. Even if I wanted to return to them, why would they want me back? I don't see how that's my problem. Tell me something. Why would I possibly want to come crawling back to the Brotherhood? What reason would I have to throw away everything I've accomplished here? Father trusts me, and so should you. He trusts you because you're family. I'm not. I can't just take your word for it. me do. I need more than that. The brotherhood has always been straight with you. I am getting a bit tired of all the secrets around here. Sometimes I feel like father isn't being straight with me. Like there are things I'm not supposed to know about. I don't like that. But still, how can I turn my back on all of this? Your work could be instrumental in freeing the Commonwealth. You really know how to push my buttons, don't you? You know, I never understood why the institute was so damn selfish. All those innocent people up there... dying. And here I am surrounded by technology that could make their lives better. Yet we hide down here and insulate ourselves from everything and everyone. It's not right. It's not right. I'll make my way back to the Brotherhood. But I'm going to have to do it on my own. I can't take any chances being seen with you. Tell whoever sent you that they've just regained the services of Dr. Madison Lee. Now, for the sake of keeping up appearances, let me see that Pip-Boy of yours. I've been told to install a Corsair Chip in it for you. Father's orders. You're to be given full access, with the ability to relay in and out of the Institute at will. Thank you. I'm sure that'll come in handy. Given that the relay is the only way to access the Institute, handy is something of an understatement. In case the significance is lost on you, you'll be the only one here with that kind of access. If nothing else, it should demonstrate the amount of trust Father has placed in you. Speaking of, I trust our discussion will remain between the two of us. Now, I need to get back to work and I'm sure you have other things to do. The chatter said, how do you, how does she think that you got here to begin with? He's been keeping his way for me, I've been rolling up to see it. He worries that having me be able to set that supposed to approximate him as a child might give him me some unintended insights into his character probably not be honest probably won't behind schedule housing upgrade for specifications new skin added to new synth prototype personality matrix robotics division We're no log in from the director. What's up? We chill? Dr. Lee. I'll be along soon. Just tell whoever sent you to prepare for my arrival. I wish you'd come with me now. Hmm, that would be dangerous. If we're seen together, it could jeopardize everything. Father would never willingly allow me to leave the Institute. I made it from the Capital Wasteland to the Commonwealth on my own, you know. I can take care of myself. Now is there anything else? I need to prepare to leave. Do you have security codes to any of the other sections? Here, this is everything I have. It's not much, but you can use them however you like. Anything else? Good luck, Doctor. To both of us. Hey! It is such a waste of time. I'd rather be designing a fish in plasma meters You near that right bitch once he's alone She turned on me I'll be along soon. Well. Talk to Bob. I'll be there. Not me, I hate them. If you encounter a hazardous chemical spill, please alert the facilities division immediately. Yes. Fuck. look at this man tan what is in this stuff? Tweaker POV? Yeah, I'm stripping the ship for the power of the... Yes sir! Yup. Where's the... Oh, it's right here. I'm done. I wonder if we should go... Nah, we're probably fine. What's up, bro? Now that you've had a chance to see the Institute first-hand, what do you think? I've seen my share of think-tank science labs, so I assure you, none of them were quite like this place. Ultimately, all our knowledge and resources are focused on a single goal. The goal is best summarized by our motto. Mankind. Redefine. Unfortunately, no advancement comes without occasional setbacks. As remarkable as our synths are, they can be... ...dangerous without... You hate his eyes? He's got Steve's eyes, dude. The superior synth mind and body attempting to wrestle with something approaching free will... can be a recipe for chaos. Quip them. So it's like every other wonder Gizmo ever invented. When will you eggheads learn? Have faith. Let me show you how we deal with such problems. A rogue synth has taken over the Raider gang at Libertalia. His memories have been erased and his identity altered. He believes he's a man named Gabriel. Under his leadership, the Raiders have taken many Innocent lives. I've dispatched a Corsair to Libertarian. I'd like you to join him and reclaim that since Sure, we'll just fight our way through an army of homicidal maniacs and ask this synth to come on home I didn't say it would be easy But I'm confident that with a Corsair at your side You'll have no trouble now. You should get moving Many people are in danger and a delay could cost lives. I never told him I was going to help him. So, I mean, we have a choice here. Do we follow this quest line or we just go talk to the... the brotherhood No of the of of of of of of of If I go to the brother, are they going to immediately come here? I assume so. Kind of like their thing. I even have a way to like teleport in now. Yeah, we're gonna go to Biocyancer. You know, it's kind of weird that we haven't been questioned on like how we got here. They already know, do they know that you by the way? The bird is there spy it's synth the pigeon sin nice Nice. So music. The fuck? of Possible stealth unit in the A.O. Nebula, nebula, nebula, nebula. Stammer is detected, sentient light. Alert level elevated. Here. Don't peek. Scanner's clear. You wearing armor? Nah, we're going adventure mode right now, dude. I'm going adventure mode. I'm sure in pipe wrench mod. How come there's no music in here? Oh my. Oh god. That's a locked door. That's a locked door. Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! I feel like some of my bullets just aren't hit. to the ominous silence. Goodbye, great Mentats. Goodbye, goodbye to the great Mentats. if they can you like not slam them over kind of like friends sneak in right now but no What the why are there so many deadcats what is happening? He thinks we should look at dead cat central, dude. Nice. There's more cat meat. Straight cat meat, dude. Tarkov? Dude no one plays that game man. The only game I play is Time Splitters 2. What is going on in here? Okay, how? I need you to play Darkoves. It would be my esteemed pleasure. If I had any interest in doing that, that is what I would say. I would probably say something like, okay, that sounds fun. I'll do that. Why is that glowing red thing? I think that's just, like, a weird artifact. Gotta find the terminal. Gotta fucking... God damn it. I refuse to do this the normal way. I... Refuse! Let me be clear. This terminal cannot hold me. We had food, op-go, and scrolled off. Dude, whatever, man. Three zeros. That's it. Easy peasy. or two shellfishes of it you guys good These motherfuckers floatin'. has pre-approved research on samples of the FEV virus, which he already has in his possession. Now, I'm not one to question the directorate, you all know that. I don't even want to know where this came from, but, well, this is troubling, dangerous, possibly. I will do my best to make sure risks are minimized, but I really do hope that the consequences are understood. Personal record, Dr. Brian Virgil. This will likely be my last recording. My requests to shut down the FEV program have repeatedly been denied. We've learned nothing useful in the last ten years. Why does father insist on continuing it? If he won't see reason, then I have to take matters into my own hands. What we're doing, it's not right. It needs to stop. If anyone should find this after... after I'm gone. Know that I never wanted to hurt anyone. Anyone! Do you understand me? I'm gonna make sure the whole program is shut down. If not for good, then at least for years to come. After that, I know what I'm about to do will be seen as a betrayal. Trees and he'll probably call it. So, I'm leaving. I have a plan. And if it works, I'll be somewhere safe. Somewhere not even the Corsairs can find me. Everything that we've done. The lives we've taken. If there is a God, may He had the mercy on us all. Hmm... Why he were decked, though? Well, well, well. Um. Let's go! Let's go back to the boys. Teleports out. Have I started one piece yet? Nah, I never will. Go see Virgil. Good idea. I'll do Virgil first. Nope. I see Max and Big Naturals mod, nah I didn't. Was it, was it so sexy? Well, I'm glad to see the real aid didn't completely vaporize you. Quip them. It did, but I pulled myself together. I suppose you did. Now, what about the serum? Did you find it? Dude, one piece fans are just so sad, man. They're so sad. Why? Because Monkey D. Luffy never gonna be Goku, bro. Ever. I can't find it anywhere. I'm sorry. What? No. No. It has to be there. Unless. Volkart. Damn it. The old man always hated my work. But if he ordered it all destroyed, he wouldn't have even known. not even known what am i gonna do am i stuck like this what about the virus won't your condition get worse over time i don't know god what if you're right could i end up like those dumb brutes no no i couldn't live like that then end it now I don't make that choice I don't think I can I don't have the stomach to kill myself but you you could do it go ahead just try to make it Quick. Alright? Alright. Whenever you're ready. I can't believe that guy let me kill him, what the fuck? I actually want to kill this guy. I'm glad to see the real I didn't completely vaporize you The interceptor worked it was rough, but it worked amazing and what about the serum did you find the serum? Yeah, right here. That's it. That's really it This is gonna kill him It is experimental virus has matured nicely density gradients is high I recombinant counterintron sequences look stable transcriptive exon strands of formed Has the reverse Transcripts survived the nucleotide synthesis excellent question Yes, yes, it has fascinating. No Did you mean that as a joke? Well, it's time. It's death man. There's only one way to test it Keep going explode All right Here we go Now we wait That's it what did you expect me to transform right before your eyes? This is science not a two-cap magic show. I'm gonna rest for a while Well, I'm back in a few days, maybe a week, and well, I guess we'll see in any event. You kept your end of our bargain. Thank you. He quipped us. That son of a bitch quipped me! I hope let's go sleep a safe way for a week and see what happens. Hey, maybe I can wait in- No. Can you imagine playing on survival coming here and him being like, Yeah, come back in a week and then... Hehehehe Have it, I'll make that trek again For the fourth time all the way to the edge of the map Why keep them alive? Look, it's hard it's hard to understand the complex machinations of Steve Fuck's mind. Okay You can teleport with the relay now in survival? Yeah, but doesn't it just let you teleport to the institute? So I need the bird of bird name? Yeah. Surely he's dead when we get back. Steven the bigot, why would he keep him alive? Because he was human and we're restoring his humanity. What's more, Steve, fuck the man. You don't need to wait three days according to the wiki or we'll do it one more time just to be safe who's the better person steve buck or the mound was the mound Go into our mountain blade character? I forget. The man. Starfield, that's right. I don't really remember much of my Starfield playthrough. I remember are the cool loading screens. Same as every other playthrough, murder hobo. Who have I murdered in this playthrough? 62 townspole. I've killed zero townspole, hello? Billy's parents? They attacked me with self-defense! That's not murder hobo! Welcome back. It worked! I need some refinement, but I think we can consider my serum a qualified success This is a credible it is a significant first step But it still only works on one strain of FEV It will take years perhaps decades to generalize my formula still you have my gratitude Welcome to make use of my lab what or help yourself to any of this junk If you want it in the meantime, I have a lot of experiments wrong. Excuse me Wait, so this guy is gonna cure super mutants. What's more Steve fuck than eliminating all super mutants think about that? Why don't you really think about that one there, buddy? Killing them I am killing them Slowly like a disease I forgot to put my shit away. Burny, brown, burny, oh, burn. Dude, I can't believe I saved humanity. I actually don't remember the origins of Supermuse. FVV? Yeah, I don't remember the origin of FVV. If I have to like, if I had to guess, Sean, AKA father's like motivation, I bet it probably literally is megalomania. And I think it's a matter of him kind of perpetuating the services problems in order for there to always be like I need for him in the Institute right that's probably what it is he's gonna be like oh yeah like you know all the all the different people that we talked to are like yeah it's kind of weird not all the only couple of them but um I just want to like confront this mofuga like hey what's the haps bro what's the flippin haps let's go see what happens when we talk to uh I've heard the Sue's name. Watch your step out here, you're not lonely. I receive word that Dr. Lee is returning to us. How cooperative do you think she'll be? I've convinced her that the institute is the enemy, not the brotherhood. Well done, Knight. As soon as Dr. Lee arrives... Remind me. ...we'll interrogate her aboard the Pridwin. She's been under the institute's influence for the last decade. Remind me. And we can't afford to take any chances. Now. I believe you still possess an important piece of data that Proctor Ingram is eagerly awaiting. I want you to bring it to her immediately. Once again, Knight. You don't fail to impress. Dismissed. promote me though right there she's still at the airport where's my loading screen graphic? that was alarming It'd be a supermute. Here's your holotape, Proctor. Hope the data on that thing was worth it. Thanks. You know, it's good to see you're still in one piece. I wasn't sure what the interceptor would do to you. You mean being zapped into energy and then put back together again? Piece of cake. You can make jokes all you want, but I wouldn't put so much faith in technology I didn't understand. Speaking of technology, I don't understand. I'll get this holotape to Proctor Quinlan. I'm dying to find out what's on it. For all we know, that thing could be a recipe for death-claw surprise. Well, it's the best we could do with such short notice. Before we jump to conclusions, let's see what Quinlan's scribes can get off of it. I'm sure the Institute has all of their data heavily encrypted, so it's gonna take some time to crack. After that, we'll have to see what we've got. I've got. There's no telling what we might have grabbed off their main frame. In the meantime, I've got a new assignment for you. So, I bet you're eager to get your hands dirty on our new project. How much has Maxon told you about it? He didn't tell me anything. Makes sense. We've been trying to keep it under wraps until the time was right. Come on. It's this way. Unless you're blind as a bat, I'm sure you've noticed that we've been building a gantry on the tarmac. What? I've been looking for something to hit the balance when we go toe-to-toe with the Institute now The prid one might be a big beast, but she's not built for fighting. That's where our new project comes in Is it a bigger power armor? This storage bay full of parts is what's left Liberty Prime the brotherhood used it in the capital wasteland as a weapon against the enclave It's the most advanced robot the brotherhood has ever had at its disposal. Yeah, that's a follow-up reference, guys. Liberty Prime was destroyed in the line of duty. I've spent the better part of the last few years piecing them back together. And if you think that was easy, try rebuilding a protectron while you're blindfolded. Proctor. In order to get Liberty Prime fully operational, we're going to need your help. What exactly is the plan? This thing was enormous. And they're in like an underground base. Is he gonna shoot a hole into the ground? This is a waste of time. This isn't a request, Knight. Maxon put you on this project for a reason. I suggest you follow his orders to the letter. Now, the good news is that we've got most of Prime's parts fully assembled. The bad news is that it's gonna take more than a few rivets and some spot welding to get them working again. The first problem is his CPU. It's fragile, and every time we try to feed power to it, it blows itself out. I assume you can fix that? I wish it was that simple. If this happened to one of the robots on the pridwin, I'd just swap out its fusion pile. As much as I hate to admit it, Prime's power systems are out of my league. Luckily, you were able to convince Dr. Madison Lee to return to the Brotherhood. She was on the original build team for Liberty Prime a little over a decade ago. I've already spoken to her, but she's reluctant to work on Prime for some reason. If you could get her down here to lend a hand with his power system, we can get the big guy moving. I gotta convince this bitch again? What? She talks too much! Nah, I feel like that was like a sufficient amount of talking. like that wasn't too much attention, halberd pilot to station epsilon halberd pilot report to station epsilon, that is all no and you can't make me and also go Oh god. So... How did you know? I didn't know! Because because we care what happens to the commonwealth not very good That's wearing a brotherhood of steel uniform said something like that. I'd laugh in their face, but coming from you It sounds like you actually mean it tell Proctor Ingram to get her scrydes ready It's going to take a hell of a lot of work to get Liberty Prime back online, but we'll get it done to To save the commonwealth Wow, it sounded like you really meant that. Shut up. It's finally good to see Steve turning out to be a good guy. So it's good to see that Steve's finally coming into his own as a good guy, who's never done any bad stuff, and is trying to save the Commonwealth. When this game came out, everyone hated that the character had voice lines. They're not good. to turn out to turn out to end up in some pretty questionable things to stay alive to turn out good to think someone in chat said that they are read the lines without any context or something Female VA is way better. Am I not playing Pal world little gub? Um, I'm not really interested in like... I was gonna be mean to that chatter. He doesn't deserve that. I think I'm being influenced by Steve Fuck right now in his righteous behavior. I'm not playing it because I had some kind of game that I like to play pretty much ever. Proctor Ingram? Well, things are off to a good start. Isn't that right, Doctor? I hope so. Prime suffered some significant damage to his memory core. I wish your people would have been a bit more careful, Proctor. The good news is that the damage isn't irreversible, and I should be able to get the power flowing into his CPU core without overloading. Yep. If your people stay out of my way, that is. One of my chatters says you talk too much. Yeah, I'm stitching. Maybe I should teach her some manners. That's not necessary. She isn't gonna be much good to us if she's lying in a hospital bed. Besides, Dr. Lee's worth all the aggravation. We're working with one of Prime's original designers. I don't see it getting any better than that. In fact, since things are going so well, we're gonna have you start building as electromagnetic actuators Sure anything you need You're ready to leap into action, and I bet you don't have the faintest idea what I'm talking about The actuators what allows Liberty primes arms and legs to move primes new limbs are way too heavy for the simple hydraulic pistons he had in the past. We're gonna have to rip those out, construct a brand new system using electromagnets, and install them in his limbs. What we need you to do is build the actuators for us. Now that you know what the actuators are, you need to know how to make them. These are the plans and the materials list. Don't lose them. Now before you get that look on your face, you'll be happy to know that we have plenty of the raw materials on that list right here at the airport. The only thing we need you to head out and find is a high-powered magnet. I found one of those. Dr. Quinlan, the best place to find one is in any of the ruined hospitals around the commonwealth. We've already sent out a few teams to find the rest of the high-powered magnets you'll need. They should be back by the time you return. Once you start building the actuators, we need one for each limb, so you'll need to make a total of four. Good luck. No, no, no. I see he've heavily addicted to multiple drugs. No, he's a functioning drug addict now. I have to have at least two of these mofuckas, dude. That's scavenger king baby blue blue blue blue blue blue blue wait five wait do I need one? It's it the proctor said that they sound other teams to get them as well No, I do need to make four. Okay That's what I thought when I saw the thing pop up. I was after I grabbed one. I was like, huh Oh? You didn't make 4, but you'll need one mag. Really? Or the fuck do I make? Oh, yeah, bud. What's really good slime, twin? I'm 36. Oh, right. You dummy. Oh, right. You dummy. You look 72. That's not possible. I've said it. Oh, okay, so I only had to find one. Interface brought back three with those other teams. I understand them. Do I just kind of build them? There I am so I can pick up. Sweet. Or not. Magneto acquired, dude. Put them on the robot. I couldn't interact with it. Excuse me, proper ingram. That's all four actuators. Delivered and done. Nice work. I've completed the restoration of Prime's basic functions and he's ready to go. In fact, it's getting difficult to explain to the system why it can't move right now. Well, as soon as my scribes get those actuators in place, we'll have his arms and legs installed in no time. Which brings me to your next assignment. It won't be long before Prime can walk and talk. But he's missing one last important element. His nicks. Without them, his offensive systems aren't operating at peak capacity. I'll run down to the Super Dupre Martin, and kick them up. That was so easy. Prime's bomb pack is fitted for Marc-28 nuclear bombs. The same type of bombs that were dropped from aircraft during the Great War. The Commonwealth was a major staging area for the military's Air Force, so we assumed we wouldn't have trouble finding them. But since we arrived, our scouting teams haven't located a single bomb. That's going to be a problem, without a fully loaded nuke pack. won't have the firepower to take on the Institute. Maybe we can arm him with something else. It'd take months, or even years to install a new weapon system on Prime. We're having a tough time making all the parts we need to get him running as it is. But before you give up hope, there's actually a silver lining here. Proctor Quinlan has located some records regarding a military installation, which was used as a nuclear weapon storage facility. We're fairly certain this included a stockpile of the Mark 28th. The catch is that the installation is located somewhere within the Glowing Sea. Wonder if we walked past it. Oh no, not again. Yep. The better stock back up on the anti-radiation gear. Scribe Halens established a communications point on the frontier of the Glowing Sea. I suggest you head out there first and establish a signal protocol with her so that the nukes can be air-lifted out once you've located them Hopefully by the time you've returned we'll be ready to wake prime up and you can say hello. Good luck night Rearming prime with nukes should get him back to full fighting potential Excuse me dr. Lee rearming prime with nukes should get him back Someone said to go talk to the robot. What do I do that up there? I can't fucking get up there mate. Just kidding. You're my fucking stupid. Excuse me. Excuse me. I can't talk to him yet. Don't you worry. I mean, surely... You know what? Never mind. Where's this bitch again? She's right here, at the waypoint. Those are... I'll read chat when that first part... was being said. Oh, I got a fucking piss, mate. Oh Brother man bill at moon moon go on Was there something else you wish to say brother man bail he is the one at the combo the hill Brother Man Bale, the guy who wrote that song died to COVID because he refused to get vaccinated. And then probably went and licked some doorknobs and other assorted railings of people in public who are really nasty like to wet their germs all over. Brother Man Bale, Brother Man Bale, what's up guys? Oh Don't fucking can't be bitch Oh Yikes Harpoon gun What the flip Where my harpoons YOUCH! Thanks. Any all got any harpoon? Was that guy using a hoplum gun at me? That'll fix it. be careful what of Give me a nuke! Drug up. Bop out. Mad ex. Where is this motherfucker? I'm undetected. Yeah, we'll just see about that, big man. I cast Psycho Jet. Hey, where's this motherfucker? Shmoop them. there was a drug in real life to let you become immune to bullets. Speed. And also allowed you to move it at hyper speed. Bath salts. Dude, I just want a chemical sandevasand. Is that so hard? Is this so freaking hard dude? I found it. I don't know why it's there, but I found it. It's a body in the air? Oh What the hell I don't think I can interact with them. Yeah Well, well well This streamer is our word bro To be said so many times relax Let's get it like once an hour at least let's bring it down to once an hour, dude I don't fuck if you say that but I can't I don't want to look over and see it every page of chat All right, continue tomorrow sweet Sweet see you guys tomorrow
