Lt. Cybill

HILLARY!

Lt. Cybill

Hillary?

Lt. Cybill

Shes... not here

Lt. Cybill

Maybe she escaped? Or...

Lt. Cybill

Hold on little Sis, I'm coming

X1-73

Destination: Good-Neighbor

Alicia

Its called Goodneighbor X1

X1-73

That is what I said

Alicia

Nevermind. Just answer me this, why here?

X1-73

This is the only location in the commonwealth with high chances of survival of both you and I

Alicia

High chances? Meaning?

X1-73

We have a 34% chance of death, the lowest by my calculations.

Alicia

Wow a solid 34%

X1-73

Yes, Diamond City has a 92% chance, Sanctuary is a 99%, infact most settlements taken over by the Raider Gangs from Nuka World would equal in our deaths. This is the only location where we are safe from the Raiders and worse threats

Alicia

Well I guess it beats that old sewer I was living in

X1-73

Yes, I would say anything beats the Sewer

Alicia

Okay okay this place will have to do. But X1, well thats the thing I cant call you that in there

X1-73

Why not? Its my Institute designation

Alicia

Yeah but your free now, you get to choose who you are so start by picking a name?

X1-73

You make a valid point, I'll run some names though my processing systems and choose one

Alicia

Heh, yeah maybe dont say that out so loud next time? Look we can chat about this later, right now we need to find a location to well rest, 3 days on a speeding raider bike has turned my legs all jelly

X1-73

Jelly? Do you need Medical attention?

Alicia

What, no I'm fine its just.. nevermind.

Alicia

Oh yeah, X1... uh I mean uh, yeah the arm

X1-73

What about it?

Alicia

Might draw some unwanted attention.

X1-73

Ah yes, relax I came up with a response if anyone questions it

Alicia

Being?

X1-73

I was attacked by Super Mutants and they ripped it off

Alicia

They ripped off your arm?

X1-73

No, the flesh on my arm

Alicia

Uh, X1 may want to say they ripped off your whole arm and you found an old synth unit and took its arm attaching it to yours

X1-73

Yes, that makes more sense

Alicia

Yeah, never thought I'd come here

X1-73

Why not?

Alicia

Well Goodneigbour has a rep as a bad place

X1-73

Institute records account it as a haven for scum and villainy

Alicia

X1! Uh I mean...  hahaha oh Sarah thats a good one. Hahah about the Institute having flying Synths now, haha oh that is funny

X1-73

Who is this Sarah?

Alicia

You are silly

X1-73

Oh Yes, yes I am Sarah. Sorry I am SARAH!

Alicia

Your not used to people are you?

X1-73

You and Dr Quinn were my only encounters that did not result in lazer fire

Alicia

Well as you can see its not all bad here

X1-73

Hmm, yes though I sense this place needs a good cleaning

Alicia

Hmm, bigger then I thought. Well, more shops for us to shop at I guess

X1-73

Hmm

Alicia

Whats the matter?

X1-73

Nothing, I was just thinking of that name. Sarah

Alicia

Yes what about it?

X1-73

Hmm, its nothing.

Alicia

Okay then. Ah there we are, Hotel Rexford

X1-73

That location will have beds for us to sleep on

Alicia

Yeah but caps are a issue

X1-73

Caps?

Alicia

You know bottle caps, what everyone uses for money

X1-73

Ah yes, bottle caps.

Alicia

Damn it. 10 caps a night I have 8 caps alone and I'm so hungry

X1-73

Then you should grab some food or you may die soon

Alicia

Sure thing, Sarah

X1-73

Yes... sure thing Alicia

Alicia

Well, I guess you should go see about some work for us to do?

X1-73

I'll see to it we get some work

Alicia

Hotel Rexford is home to the guy who runs this place, ask him for work. Just uh, try not to get us in trouble with Marowski, hes kind of known for zero tolerance

X1-73

Accessing data... hmm yes Marowski

Alicia

Sarah what did we just talk about?

X1-73

Ah yes, sorry Alicia

Alicia

Just... try and act normal okay? I'm going to go grab us some food, while you find us some work

X1-73

I'll go find us some work then

Alicia

Okay, good luck

X1-73

Yes, good luck to you too Alicia

Alicia

Hmm, oh so thats the Third rail. I heard about that place

X1-73

What is it?

Alicia

A club of sorts. The boys used to say the signer there had the voice of an angel till she left all of a sudden

X1-73

An Angel?

Alicia

You know an Angel, like in old wold book..... nevermind, go!

X1-73

Yes Ma'am

Alicia

Well Alicia, you've done it now

Alicia

I'll just pray she does not kill anyone

Josie

Alicia

Yes, although I prefer Minutewoman to be honest

Josie

Hmm, makes sense. Names Josie

Alicia

Alicia, nice to uh meet you Josie

Josie

Heh yeah well relax friend, Goodneighbor's a safe haven for us rejects

Alicia

Rejects?

Josie

Yeah people who have no where else to go, I mean with the Commonwealth in such a shit state this towns the only safe place in it

Alicia

Ah yeah, friend of mine said the same thing.

So uh... hate to be rude but can I ask you a question?

Josie

Its about the arm isnt it?

Alicia

I mean I'm sorry but its kind of is about the arm

Josie

Well, I used to be a slave.

Alicia

Gosh, I'm sorry I didnt mean to bring back bad memories

Josie

Relax kid, your fine for asking me. Plenty of folk ask me, and I normally make them buy me a couple of drinks first but your pretty interesting yourself, so maybe we can swap stories? Anyway one day my Master got tired of me so he activated my collar's kill switch, I had 3 minutes before it blew my head off clean. Well my Master forgot that I was in charge of my Vaults Generators. Meaning I was handy with a wrench

Alicia

Your a Vault Dweller?

Josie

Yep, from Vault 81.

Alicia

I'm sorry it was rude of me to interpret you. Please continue if you wish

Josie

Heh, you really are one them good'ems. Well, I got the thing off my neck pretty quick was unsure how long I had left on it and well he was standing there laughing at me so I threw it at him

Alicia

My God!

Josie

Yep, blew up right as it left my hand, took my whole arm with it but it also took the bastard face

Alicia

I'm sorry that happend to you, we were meant to stop all this evilness

Josie

Hey ant your fault, happened years ago when I was just a girl like yourself.

Alicia

So, I hate to ask again but whats with that collar around your neck?

Josie

This here collar is deactivated. So no need to worry your pretty self about it

Alicia

But why wear it?

Josie

To remind me of what I have, and what I've lost.

Alicia

Hmm, I think I understand. That Collars like a trophy right?

Josie

Nah more like its the only thing I've ever owned.

Alicia

Ah so you keep it because your free and its now yours

Josie

Kind of yeah
