1 | H222Scene | | {Concerned, a touch lost} From what I've been told it's probably safer if I don't say anything. I don't want to put you in any more danger. | Player Default: I appreciate the thought. | A |
2 | Player Default: What's life like for a synth in the Institute? | {Never had to explain something so obvious, the list is rote in his head.} Synths are expected to behave... like machines. You await instructions. You execute instructions. You perform basic self-maintenance. | | A1a |
3 | | {Chilling to think about / Afraid} Anything else is considered defective. And then the SRB comes. | Player Default: What's life like for a synth in the Institute? | A1b |
4 | Player Default: What's life like for a synth in the Institute? | {Talking about the boogey-man here} They're the ones that watch us. To make sure we're not defective. To make sure we don't run. | | A2a |
5 | | {Talking about the boogey-man here, scared / Somber} Synths that get noticed just disappear. I don't know where they go. | Player Default: What's life like for a synth in the Institute? | A2b |
6 | Player Default: Goodbye, H2. | {Profoundly thankful, choked up} Thank you. You have no idea how nice it is to talk to someone. | | B1a |
7 | Player Default: You worked with scientists? | {Clarifying} Yes. At least that's what we called them. My only interaction with them was to receive orders on what to clean. | | X1a |
8 | | {A little bleak, sorry he's not helpful} I would acknowledge my task and occasionally ask for necessary clarification. But that's really it. | Player Default: What's life like for a synth in the Institute? | X1b |
9 | Player Default: You worked with scientists? | {Wracking his brain, residual confusion about the concepts of "huge" "green"} I heard there was a Concourse above the tunnels. It's huge, big, and green. With many synths. | | X2a |
10 | | {Grim / Somber} But they're watched more carefully by the scientists. Mr. Stockton said very few synths from that section ever escape. | Player Default: What's life like for a synth in the Institute? | X2b |
11 | Player Default: So you know where the Institute is, right? | {He's talking about something he is programmed not to remember. It's a difficult subject. He tries to force himself to remember and fails.} Stockton already asked me that. I don't know. I really don't. He says no synths know. How or why that | Player Default: What's life like for a synth in the Institute? | Y1a |
12 | Player Default: So you know where the Institute is, right? | {Someone saved him from hell, he will in no way shape or form put that person in danger. So he clams up, even to someone he respects greatly.} The only thing I'll say is I had help. Sorry. It's the one thing I won't talk about. | Player Default: What's life like for a synth in the Institute? | Y2a |
13 | Player Default: I appreciate the thought. | {Overwhelmed in a thankful way / Grateful} You guys are all... well, no one's ever stuck their neck out for me. | H222: I wanted to thank you. This world is... overwhelming. But people like you make me feel better about coming here. | A1a |
14 | Player Default: I eat danger for breakfast. Tastes like chicken. | {Doesn't know what a chicken is. Confused / Puzzled} Chicken? I'm sorry, I don't understand. But... | H222: I wanted to thank you. This world is... overwhelming. But people like you make me feel better about coming here. | X1a |
15 | Player Default: Why not talk to me? | {In the dark, trying to be helpful / Suspicious} I don't really know. But Mr. Stockton told me it's best for everyone. I don't think he was lying to me. | H222: I wanted to thank you. This world is... overwhelming. But people like you make me feel better about coming here. | Y1a |
16 | Player Default: You guys are all... well, no one's ever stuck their neck out for me. | {Lost but profoundly appreciative / Grateful} I wanted to thank you. This world is... overwhelming. But people like you make me feel better about coming here. | Player Default: We do all of this to give you a better life. | A1a |
17 | Player Default: We do all of this to give you a better life. | {Almost breaking down here, so thankful (Goodbye line) / Grateful} You really. You really have no idea how much I appreciate all of this. | Player Default: What's life like for a synth in the Institute? | A1a |
18 | Player Default: Yeah, yeah. Enough of the sappiness. | {Awkward, doesn't want to annoy the PC} Of course. Well, take care. | Player Default: What's life like for a synth in the Institute? | B1a |
19 | Player Default: I have a lot of questions. Especially about the Institute. | {Serious / Suspicious} That's precisely what Mr. Stockton said I shouldn't talk about. At all. | Player Default: We do all of this to give you a better life. | Y1a |
20 | Player Default: I have a lot of questions. Especially about the Institute. | {Trying to help, knowing he's going to disappoint his hero} I'm sorry, I don't know much about the Institute. I worked the maintenance tunnels. Every day for as long as I can remember. | | Y2a |
21 | | {Fragile, overwhelmed} The only time I spoke to anyone was to acknowledge scientists' orders and very rarely to other synths. I've talked more in the past few days than I have my entire life. | Player Default: What's life like for a synth in the Institute? | Y2b |
22 | Player Default: I have a lot of questions. Especially about the Institute. | {Wishes he could say stuff, but can't - overflowing with thanks} Listen, I don't want to cause any of you any more trouble than I already have. So I'll just hold my tongue. Thanks, again. | Player Default: What's life like for a synth in the Institute? | Y3a |
23 | - | | I'm glad to be off the streets. | | |
24 | | Is this the sort of place people live? | | |
25 | | High Rise seems friendly. | | |
26 | | Sorry, I'm really not used to small talk. | | |
