Strong and Strange

In, Talk, Out

I went back to the Red Rocket station and stepped onto the platform. I used the force to initiate the teleportation. Soon, I found myself in a chamber. I walked forward and went onto a terminal nearby. I scanned the network and sent the message to Patriot. After a bit, I saw a reply: Meet me in the closet by Advanced Systems. I went to the door to my right and used the force to make myself not clearly visible to the Institute's cameras, synths, and scientists. I soon found my way to where Patriot wanted to meet.

"So you're the one who sent that message? Impressive." He said as he saw me. "I don't know how you got here but..."

"I teleported in here. A rogue scientist helped me." I said. "I'm with the Railroad. We save the synths we believe you've been teleporting out of the Institute."

"I've been doing so but I didn't know if anybody would help them," He said. "I'm glad that someone is doing something." He was young and had some sort of jumper he was wearing.

"The Railroad's helping." I said. "I'm one of their agents."

"Does anyone know you're here?" He asked, looking around.

"No." I said.

"Alright, I want you to meet someone." He led one away from the closet. "I'd do whatever you did-" he paused when I used the force to hide as I followed him.

"Don't worry I'm here." I whispered. We went outside the Bioscience division where Virgil said where he worked. There was a synth there, working on the grass. I reappeared a little before then because we were out of eye's view.

"Z1, this is a Railroad agent who's been helping the synth's I've been getting out."

"The Railroad?" he asked, getting up.

"Yes."

"Hi." I said.

"I don't know... you really help the synths up there?"

"You don't trust me, do you?" I asked. "We do it for the greater good. To be honest, I'm just helping."

"We'll see." Z1 said.

"We could use some help from you, then." Patriot said. He said his name was Liam Binet and that he was the son of one of the division leaders. I didn't tell him my name yet... but it didn't matter.

"I'm planning to send out 13 synths to the surface but I need an account to get past securities." Liam said.

"13? Shouldn't you do more? Or keep doing what you've done before?" I asked.

"I don't know." He shrugged. "The old accounts of the C.I.T. Ruins are all scavenged by the Institute already."

"But some college students were offsite." Z1 said. "There should be one in Cambridge Polymer Labs."

"Get it, and those synths are as good as free." Liam said.

"How do I get back in here though?" I asked.

"Come into Advanced Systems." Liam said. "I think I could give you something to be able to teleport in and out without being noticed."

I followed Liam to Advanced Systems and we went into a private room. Liam thought up of something and reprogrammed some sort of button.

"I think that should work." He said.

I nodded. I sensed that it would work. It was able to connect to my map so I could teleport to and from there from anywhere I was. We debriefed some more and I teleported back to my home. It had worked and Faramir was happy to see me. I went back to the Railroad HQ and told everyone there my story.
