"Cmon (name), it's only gunners." Danse glanced over to you, as you crouched down behind the wall, Danse joining you
"Yeah, but one of them has a rocket launcher, so things are nasty." You threw you hand up, gesturing to the gunner standing proudly on top of the building, hostlering the dreaded weapon.
"You've defeated Swan, a behemoth, but you can't take down a small group of gunners."
"...yes." Danse sighed, moving up from his spot behind the wall, shooting at the heavily weaponised gunner.
The gunner let out a final grunt in pain, dropping the rocket launcher as he was vaporized into dust, Danse crouched down behind the wall as the other gunners started their assault.
"Sorted, he's dead."
You smiled "Thanks honey."
Pulling out your 10mm modded pistol, moving up, beginning to attack the gunners one by one, Danse joining you.
Gunners dropped one by one, blooding splattering, bullet casings dropped haphazardly, you picked ammo and other various items from their corpses while Danse scouted the area out.
"Was that all of them?" You called out to Danse as you stood from looting the last corpse.
You heard his clunky power armour step into the building again "Seems like it, find anything useful?"
You sighed, "Only some ammo and some junk I can use to mod our items up with."
"Ammo is always useful." You shared out some ammo with Danse, having a feeling he was low on ammo for his laser rifle.
"I need to check back with elder maxon, I'll catch up with you later." You smiled at Danse as he nodded in agreement.
________________
A month later, the railroad has fallen, Liberty prime has risen again.
"Thank you for getting those pre war nukes, (Name)."
You smiled at procter ingram, "It wasn't an issue at all."
"Here," Procter ingram handed you a mod for your power armour.
"This isn't necessary Procter."
"Don't worry, it's not like liberty prime will go out and get you something." She smiled at you, you replicated the action
"Oh and Maxson wants to speak with you urgently."
You nodded and began to walk upstairs to the vertibird pad to fly back up to the prydwen.
Maxson looked angry, stressed maybe as he glared daggers into your eyes, he turned back to look over the commonwealth.
"Did you know?" He muttered strongly
"Did I know what?"
He snapped "Don't play stupid knight! You must of known!"
"I-I don't understand elder"
"The data we got back from the institute, we found out that.. Danse is a synth, and he's mysteriously gone missing."
"There's no way, he can't be.." The unexpected news shocked you to your core, you loved Danse.
"He is, I didn't believe it either, his designation is M7-97, you know what I want you to do next."
"I can't.. he didn't.." you stumbled over your words.
"It has to be done, knight. Now report to Proctor Quinlan."
You sighed, your hand shaking, body feeling numb as you staggered over to Proctor Quinlan on the second floor.
Halfway through talking to Quinlan, Scribe Haylen ran into the room, taking her anger out on me.
"How dare you, you cared about him!"
"Haylen, please, I don't know what to do."
"You can't hurt him, he's not a synth"
Quinlan butted in, "The data proves he's a synth, scribe. Now stop screaming and disobeying the higher ranks."
"Sorry procter." Haylen said calmly, turning back to you
"I request to talk to you privately, knight."
You smiled at Haylen softly, "Sure"
You followed Haylen to the back of the prydwen, she sat on top of a box.
"What are you going to do when you find him?"
You sighed, scratching the back of your neck.
"I have no idea Haylen, this is all still a shock to me"
"You better decide quickly, I don't care that he's a synth, he's as human as the day I met him."
You nodded in agreement, your mind still frazzled from conflicting information whirring around inside your head.
"Do you have any idea of where to find him?
