Just a Fallout 4 fanfic

Synth retention

(While Nora works with Patriot on her mission from the railroad, Nathan is called back to Father's office)

Father: Now that you've had a chance to see the institute firsthand, what do you think?

Nathan: This place is amazing. You have technology here that I never would have even dreamed possible

Father: I'm glad you think so. Ultimately all of our knowledge and resources are focused on a single goal. That goal is best summarized by our motto. "Mankind redefined". Catchy, isn't it? Unfortunately, no advancement comes without occasional setbacks

Nathan: Define setbacks

Father: As remarkable as synths are, they can be dangerous without proper supervision. The superior synth mind and body attempting to wrestle with something approaching free will can be a recipe for chaos. They are unpredictable when they are set loose

Nathan: Something happened. What was it?

Father: A rogue synth has taken over a raider gang at libertalia. His memories have been erased and his identity altered. He believes he is a man named Gabriel. Under his leadership, the raiders have taken many innocent lives. I've dispatched a courser to libertalia. I'd like you to join him and reclaim that synth

Nathan: Consider it done

Father: Very good. The sooner that synth is safely returned to the institute, the better for everyone

(Nathan uses the courser chip in his pip boy to teleport himself to libertalia, and he finds the courser he saw in Kellogg's memories standing over a bunch of dead raiders)

Nathan: WOW. That is disorienting... You must be the courser that I'm supposed to meet

X6: Yes sir. Designation X6-88. I've already neutralized the perimeter guard. Just give the word, and we can start the assault on the main flotilla

Nathan: What do we know about this synth Gabriel?

X6: Designation B5-92 is holed up in the shack on top of the up-ended cargo ship. He's probably got his best fighters with him, so we should plan on heavy resistance. So, are you ready to go in?

Nathan: I'm ready

X6: Right behind you, sir

(Nathan and X6 load their laser rifles and charge in guns blazing. The raiders try and fight back, but they're no match for a soldier and a courser)

X6: Sloppy tactics and bad aim. This won't take too long

(Nathan goes left, and X6 goes right. They both carry out a full on frontal assault on libertalia's raider gang)

(Nathan lets loose a storm of red lasers, and X6 uses blue lasers. After a very deadly light show, there is a whistle)

Nathan: Well, that's just great...

(Nathan dives into the water as a fat man shell blows up a wooden shack near him. The water protects him from the blast and the debris)

(After Nathan swims back up and climbs onto the wooden path, he snipes the raider holding the fat man as he's reloading with his laser rifle)
