“Good. My task here is to collect the written works of those who came before in order to supplement the Brotherhood Archives at the Citadel. Although most of the pre-war books have been destroyed, there are a few that have survived. But finding a book in these ruins is... difficult. I could have a million Initiates to comb the ruins, and I'd still never come close to recovering every book that remains undamaged.”

Senior Scribe Yearling is a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, assigned to the Order of the Word. She leads the Brotherhood contingent at the Arlington Library in 2277.

Background

Yearling is part of the mission to gather pre-War knowledge from the wasteland. Her team set up for the project at the Arlington Library in order to search for records, of which the team subsequently sends back to the Citadel for archival. Although she has access to the card catalogs, she cannot proceed into the library's main archives due to the current raider presence.

Daily schedule

She can be found in the front desk area of the Arlington Library, collecting valuable pre-War books for the Brotherhood of Steel.

• "If nothing else, I admire your commitment to your chosen focus. But, to the point: My task here is to collect the written works of those who came before in order to supplement the Brotherhood archives. Although most of the pre-war books have been destroyed, there are a few that have survived. But finding a book in the ruins is... difficult. So, return here with any books that you find and I will reward you for them. With money. Because that's what you like."
