Strong and Strange

Tourist Now, Tourist For a While

"You wouldn't believe it, boss. She was awesome! There were like a million synths and she just killed them. All in one blow." Deacon was saying to Desdemona as I walked in.

"So, Deacon is all crazy about your performance at the switchboard." Desdemona looked at me. "Is it true you cleared out the whole switchboard all in one move and didn't set off the mines. Single Handedly?"

"Not really." I said, confused. "We just defended ourselves as they attacked us and there weren't that many mines there." I explained.

"I'm still impressed. So, since I'll accept Deacon's pleas, I'm inviting you into the Railroad. What do you say?"

"I don't know." I said. "I feel I can't officially join any factions here yet. I can help you as much as I can, though." I said. I thought of myself as only helping the Brotherhood instead of joining like they think. I was going to be cautious when their superiors come to the Commonwealth and I still didn't know what the Railroad was exactly all about.

"I understand your decision. You can help us and stay as a tourist for a while. But this couldn't stay as is for too long." She said, then walking away to the back after taking the prototype from me.

"Well, still good job. The offer's still open." Deacon said. "Thanks"

"It was nothing," I said.

"Seems like you had a rough time back here." He said, pointing to my stomach.

"It's nothing." I said, looking away.

"Oh, it's something." He said, advancing towards me.

"I-" I started. "Just raiders."

"I thought jedi weren't supposed to get hurt." He mocked jokingly.

"We still get scars." I protested.

"So really, what happened?"

I explained everything that happened, excluding the Brotherhood of Steel.

"Wow. You are a brave one, aren't you?" he said, laughing. "So what do they call you?"

"Maggie." I said.

"Nice one." He winked. "I gotta go into HQ. See you around." With that, he walked away. I walked to the exit to my ship. I climbed in and flew off. I didn't exactly know where to go next though. I flew above Boston when some raiders spotted me. I shot my triggers when they shot at my ship. The bullets barely dented it as I killed them all in a few minutes. I flew away and landed nearby Concord. I rested and meditated for a bit then I felt another disturbance in the force. Someone needed help... again I might add but someone needed it. I grabbed my supplies and locked my ship with a passcode no one in the Commonwealth could guess or bypass. I ran into the town. More raiders. I needed to defend the people in distress and threw my lightsaber across the street, killing every raider in its path.
