Impending Arrival[]
Our monitoring of events on the surface has confirmed that the time is almost at hand. Very soon, our guest will be here. I admit that I feel both hope and trepidation when I think of how our first meeting will go.
Please make whatever preparations that you deem necessary. Consider all sensitive information to be classified for the time being. We cannot know for certain what our visitor's motivations will be, especially after coming into contact with the Railroad. We will exercise caution, but we must also extend a warm welcome. In time, once a measure of trust has been earned, we can be more forthcoming.
I need not remind you all how important this is to me personally, but I want you also to think of the opportunity for the entire Institute. We stand to gain a great deal if we make the most of that opportunity.

Power Conservation Update[]
I recently met with Dr. Li to review the latest power distribution metrics, and there is both good news and bad to share. I'll begin with the good.
It's clear that we have all taken to heart Doctor Li's request for a greater emphasis on power conservation. The metrics demonstrate that we have improved our efficiency across the board. I'm particularly proud to note that the Robotics division has shown the most improvement in this regard, surpassing even Advanced Systems. Well done.
Unfortunately, the efforts we have made to date are simply not enough. We must continue to find ways to conserve without adversely impacting our research and production. I know that what I'm asking is difficult, but I'm also completely confident that we will rise to the challenge.
I have some ideas that will be discussed in the next Director's meeting. Until then, I ask that you please keep the need for conservation foremost in your thoughts.

Concerns re: Child Synth Prototype[]
I'm concerned at the pace of our progress in correcting the problems with the child synth prototype. I cannot impress upon this division enough the need to resolve these issues quickly and completely. Time and again, we've corrected flaws only to see them return. I find myself questioning whether we're thoroughly testing these fixes before moving on to the next item.
You know that I have great faith in all of you, but time is quickly running out. I must ask that you take whatever measures are necessary to meet the project targets within the time frame.
Please make this your foremost priority.

Missing Synth Investigation[]
It has been brought to my attention that some of you are displeased with the methods and practices employed by the SRB division in its ongoing investigation into the missing third-generation synths. I'd like to take a moment to address this matter.
Firstly, know that I am aware of your concerns and that I intend to have a conversation with Director Ayo in order to ensure that he is also aware. Any disruption to your work must be taken seriously, especially at this critical time.
However, I must also ask for a measure of patience and cooperation from all of you. It is simply impossible to gather the information necessary to carry out this investigation without an element of distraction and inconvenience.
Remember that your cooperation is vital to bringing this investigation to a swift and successful conclusion. I'm sure that's something we all want.

Synth vs.Android[]
As production of our gen-3 synths continues apace, I would like to take this opportunity to formalize our categorization.
The term android has been used interchangeably with synth for as long as the Institute has existed. And though some of our older residents may actually prefer android (Dr. Zimmer being a prime example), the term synth has always been more widely used.
Today, our third generation creations are truly synthetic beings, so the designation synth seems more appropriate than ever.
From here on in, I strongly prefer all official Institute records and correspondences use the term synth or synths. Let us remember our past, and appreciate the legacy of the android. But let us live for the future, and recognize the power of the synth.

Robotics terminal 2[]
This terminal is not used in-game. Its Creation Kit ID indicates that it would have been used as a submenu for Robotics Terminal 2C (the terminal listed just above this one.)
==== Institute Central Network ====
SYNTH LAB TERMINAL 2
SRB Investigation[]
As you are all aware, from time to time one of our Gen 3 synths assigned to surface duty will malfunction and go off assignment. While only a rare occurrence in the past, in recent months we have seen the number of losses rise noticeably.
Doctor Ayo has opened an investigation into this matter, and I must ask that you all give him your full cooperation as he looks into this troubling issue. Please answer his questions as completely as you can, and provide Dr. Ayo with any logs, materials or other items he requests.
With your help, I'm sure we can resolve this matter quickly.
Thank you,
- Father
Gen 1 phase-out[]
Per Father's plans as discussed at the recent Directorate meeting, we will soon begin to phase out our Gen 1 synth units within the Institute, with the intention of relegating all remaining units to surface duties only.
Our first generation synths have served admirably and exceeded their design specifications in virtually every category, but the remarkable breakthroughs in synth design and production that have led to our latest, more aesthetically-pleasing models herald a time for change.
Over the next several years, we expect to replace all Gen 1 units with Gen 3 units, and in time, we will enact a similar plan with the Gen 2 units as well.
As we look toward the future, let us also honor the memories of those whose hard work and innovation made the synths possible, and let us never forget the singular vision that challenged our forebears and that drives us today: Mankind - Redefined.
- Dr. Alan Binet
Unique Project[]
Overriding directive to not alter our synths' basic functioning notwithstanding, Father has granted clearance for a rather unique project.
In select Gen 3 units, the synthetic brain is indeed capable of accepting specific enhancements to the visual cortex, basal ganglia and right parietal cortex. The result is substantially improved combat effectiveness, due to two factors:
1.) An increased understanding of weapon accuracy, to the extent that the combatant can actually visualize the percentage of effectively hitting targets (or smaller areas on those targets).
2.) An altered sense of perception that mimics the effect of slowing, or even stopping, time.
Recommend we commence surgery and field trials on appropriate operatives in the near future.

Notes[]
The "Unique Project" entry from the cut Robotics terminal 2 seems to reference the VATS system as it appears in Fallout 4 gameplay.
