Fallout 4: War and Pursuance

Chapter Twelve: Synths

The doors slide open as the group enters inside. The main room of the building. Parts of the room had broken glass and the floors had missing fabric tiles. Danse leads the three through the building. He looked a little disgusted by the sight of which he witnessed.

"It was corporations like this that put the last nail in the coffin for mankind," he said. "They exploited technology for their own gains, pocketing the cash and ignoring the damage they'd done."

"You and Suzy should hang out," said Alex. "She hates not only the old world's government, but corporations as well."

"Seems we have something in common," Danse chuckled. Nate stood close and looks around. Piles of debris with broken two by four wood, concrete, and various building material. The group comes across another room at the sight of destroyed robots. Nate recognizes these robots from the old world; Protectrons. The robots lied lifeless on the ground.

"Look at these wrecks," said Danse. "It appears as though the facility's automated security's already been dealt with."

"Who could of done this?" asked Nate.

"Look at the evidence," he said. "There isn't a single spent of ammunition casing or a drop of blood in sight. These robots were assaulted by Institute synths."

Nate stares at Danse with a weird look. Institute synths? Are these new threats in the new world? "Isn't that the same as "robot"?" he asked.

"They're an abuse of technology created by the Institute," Danse explained. "Abominations meant to "improve" upon humanity. It's unacceptable. They simply can't be allowed to exist."

"I've come across with some before," said Alex. "They're not friendly negotiators. For them, it's kill, then ask questions later."

"Well, whoever they are," said Nate, "I'll keep a lookout. They seem threatening."

"And they are," said Danse. "Let's get a move on."

The group continues forward. They head through the halls filled with more debris, and maybe even some valuable resources.

"This place is a mess," said Danse, "but I still see a few pieces of salvage that the Brotherhood might be interested in. After we're done here, I'll have to mark this place for sweep and retrieve."

The group ends up in a room filled with computer gadgets. There is a terminal on the desk and two sliding doors. The wide sliding door was locked.

"Dead end," said Alex.

"See if one of you can get that door open," said Danse. "I'm going to reconnoiter the area."

Alex walks over to the locked sliding door to see if he can lock-pick it. Nate looks over at the terminal. He goes onto it, but realizes all the choices of words he needs to choose. He only has four attempts to choose the right password.

"No way I'll be able to hack into this," he said to himself. Alex looks around and finds another terminal for the lab analyst's. He goes on and finds the password.

"Hey Nate," said Alex. "I got the password." Nate walks over to look. 9Y3BN. He nods and goes back onto the terminal from before. He types it in and logs on. He selects the option to open the locked security sliding door.

The doors finally open. All of a sudden, there were figures standing from behind the locked door. Live exoskeletons wielding laser rifles. One of them looks at the group and analyzes them.
