Nick Valentine

It's no secret that in the event of a Brotherhood victory, the most of the synths of the commonwealth will be hunted down like animals. But what about those that aren't just there to serve the Institute's goals? Nick runs the only detective agency in Diamond city, so it'd be difficult to replace him. Magnolia does her part to make sure the Third Rail makes some caps. Curie's scientific knowledge probably makes her qualified to be a head scribe. And Captain Avery is who the people of Far Harbor look up to. Would Maxson just have them blasted to bits without a second thought? Or would he just have initiates monitor them at all times? I think the latter would also be applied to the ghoul populace of the commonwealth, so that the ghouls can be detained if they start to go feral.

Anyone know what might happen?

I know, I know: Nick is a gen 1-2 synth and should not be doing this but I'm pretty sure he drank the Captain's Blend Vim! I gave him to hold for me.

Doeas anyone have experience of him using consumables during the game?

I know human companions do it but I did not expect it from a non gen3 synth.

Just know that this is a fan creation that is based off of the Institute ending in Fallout 4.

As Nate led Nick and Ellie up to the meeting room of the Institute, he had two armed.... humanoids in X-01 Power Armor accompanying him. Perhaps as bodyguards in case Nick or Ellie decided to fire on him? Or perhaps as an intimidation factor. Nick looked over at Ellie, who was clearly concerned that her and Nick had been taken to the main lair of the beast.

"Alright, we're here. The meeting room."

"Okay, so why are we here again?" Asked Nick.

"Because I'm here to discuss something with you and Ellie, of course. Now, please take a seat."

Nick and Ellie sat down as far from Nate as they could, as Nate sat down at the other end of the table from the entrance to the room.

"So, we are here to discuss how The Institute is now the primary authority in the commonwealth. And how we need more eyes in the street."

"I'm sorry, do you mean to tell me that you want me to work for you? The organization that I've been trying to find and been working against for years now? You think I'll agree to that?!" Stated Nick.

"Oh no, not willingly. You'll be installed with surveillance technology so that we can always see what you see and hear what you hear."

"And you think I'll let you do that?!" Nick said as he pulled out his Pipe Pistol.

"Once again, not willingly. Your memory of this day will be wiped and replaced with the memory of another boring day in the office."

"And what about Ellie?! She'll remember everything." Nick stated the obvious.

"Exactly why she'll be replaced. With a generation 3 synth. The synth itself has already been built."

"Then you truly have become the evil of the commonwealth."

Nick pulled the trigger of the Pipe Pistol, aiming for the head at his once friend, but the bullet did practically nothing to Nate, for as soon as the trigger was pulled, Nate's white and green lab coat had been replaced by combat helmet and a clean grey suit.

"I'm sorry Nick, but you do not fire on the leader of the Institute without consequences."

"Ellie, RUN!" Nick shouted.

As Ellie got up from her seat and ran to the door, she heard gun shots and then a loud noise behind her, meaning that Nick had surely been captured by Nate or the synths in Power Armor in the meeting room.

Ellie saw tube-like walkways to her left and right, and ran to the right, and saw there was an elevator in the center of the building.

Ellie ran down the stairs as soon as she could, but when she reached the elevator, the button did not work at all.

"Ellie, please calm down."

Ellie turned around, and saw Nate, with two X-01 Power Armor suits on either side of him, one of them carrying Nick, who seemed to be powered down somehow.

"We will not kill you if we replace you with a Synth. We can add you to the people here."

"That's- That's a lie! It has to be!"

"X6-88, grab her."

The Power Armored Synth that was not holding onto Nick Valentine approached Ellie, and before she could even attempt to avoid it, the courser had grabbed onto her arm, and took her away to the director's office in the Institute, with Nate following behind with a silenced pistol in hand.

When Nate and The Synth's left his room, Ellie was nowhere to be seen, so it was safe to assume that it had indeed been a lie when he said she could join the Institute.

Soon, Nick was brought to the Robotics division, with a new modification made to him to record everything he saw and heard all day, along with a memory wipe of the events of today.

Afterwards, the new Ellie synth was sent to the Valentine Detective Agency with the memories of Ellie given to it as to make sure it's cover was not blown.

Finally, plans to expose and rebellion formed could be counted as a success.

Chapter 1 of the story has been completed. Nate's plans have begun.

This is a fan creation where Nate, the male Sole Survivor, leads the Institute and plans to completely take over the Commonwealth and rule it with an iron fist.

_______________________________________________

Detective Nick Valentine, the lead (and only) detective of Diamond City, was currently at his desk in the back of Valentine Detective Agency. Ellie Perkins was currently at her secretary desk, so it was an average day in the office. A few moments later, Nick and Ellie heard something outside the office. It sounded like two sets of power armor outside.

"Nick? Do you hear that?" Ellie questioned.

"Yeah, I do. I'll go check on it. It's probably just Nate."

As Nick opened the door, he saw nothing in front of the door. Then, he heard Power Armor moving. When he turned around after closing the door, he saw two sets of X-01 Power Armor standing there.

"Hey, that you in there Nate?"

The person in Power Armor merely grabbed Valentine by the throat, as Ellie screamed.

Ellie tried to run, but when she tried to make a break for it to the roof exit, the second person in the other X-01 suit had grabbed her by the throat as well.

"X6-88, ready to Relay with Nick Valentine."

"X6-89, ready to Relay with Ellie Perkins."

Two beams of light suddenly appeared above the Coursers in Power Armor and shot down, teleporting them to the Institute base, with Nick and Ellie going along with them.

When Nick's synth eyes readjusted, he and Ellie had been taken to a balcony overlooking the rest of the institute where someone with their back turned to them was standing.

"Good day, Nick."

"Nate? Is that you?"

When the person turned around, it was indeed Nate. The wanderer of the Commonwealth, now in charge of The Institute.

"What are you doing here, Nate?" Asked Valentine.

"I was simply awaiting your arrival. I have something to discuss with you and Ellie."

"Then, then why didn't you just talk with us at the office?" Ellie said, obviously concerned.

"Well, for reasons you may find out soon."

"What does that mean?" Questioned Valentine.

"Nothing. Now, please follow me to the meeting room."

Nate led Valentine and Ellie to the meeting room where he and the leaders of each division of the Institute would go to speak about their next operations.

This is just the first part of this story, both in the entire storyline, and this specific part of it in general. So, please give your constructive criticism, and please try not to be rude, as I'm still somewhat new to writing fan stories, even if I did multiple on the Elder Scrolls wiki for Skyrim. I'm just a fan of Bethesda games and therefore want to make these stories.

"I should make some art of Hisuian Pokemon and include some Fo4 companions with them to celebrate the release of Legends Arceus today."

Mind of mine: no. bootleg arceus and valentine. draw them

if motivation doesn't go away, maybe ill add more to the legends arceus artwork with the companions.

I still can't wait to get a drugged hedgehog, a ghost fox, a venomous cat, or a snail

What do you think happens to Nick Valentine after the end of Fallout 4's events? Also, more importantly, considering Valentine's nature, what would happen to him in a Brotherhood ending?

When you get interviewed by nick valentine after you save him and then you get to the part where he says that either gunners raiders, the intuitie, or super mutants could have. why does he think super mutants did it He knows that a man and a women wearing strange clothing came in because we told him so why would he say that super mutants could have done it. i hope this makes sence

When you've acquired all 10 of the Eddie Winter holotapes, you will be directed to, "Talk to Nick," at which point, he takes the holotapes and temporarily stops following you, instead, he makes a mad dash to Andrew Station. Within Andrew Station, as the Wiki says, he runs straight into mines and every enemy. A handy workaround to this inconvenience is, after collecting the ten holotapes, don't talk to Nick just yet. Instead, take Nick to Andrew Station, clear it with him still following you, go right up to the door to Eddie Winter's room. Only then should you talk to Nick. He will take the holotapes and walk up to the keypad locked door. From here, the quest proceeds as normal, without having to chase after Nick while he runs over half a dozen mines.
