| - {Wondering aloud, fascinated} I wonder. Do they play baseball in the Institute? Or is there some sort of defect in their programming?
- {Proud and Grim, expecting to be executed} I will not beg for my life.
- {Biting back even more anger} Hundreds of kidnappings over the years. Ask the survivors if it's really "that bad".
- {Conviction!} Casualties are inevitable. It may not look like it but we're at war.
- {Conviction} We most certainly do. But we have to find them first.
- {Grudgingly pleased} A perfectly rational response.
- {A hint of surprise, conviction} Then you do understand. It may not look like it but there's a war being fought.
- {Disgusted - assumes the player is an idiot / Irritated} You do know she's most likely a synth, yes? If you are more than a hired gun, perhaps we can stop this before it's too late.
- {Scientist} And how do they manage to keep us in the dark?
- {Irritated, then explaining herself } You've made your opinions quite clear on the value of Question 3. Removing it could invalidate all the data we've accumulated to date.
- {Pleased} Oh, yes. Autopsies confirm the test is getting more accurate.
- {Full of her zealot conviction / Defiant} Isn't that a goal worth fighting for?
- {Disapproving} And you kill Stockton's synth, anyway? I want nothing to do with someone so... unpredictable.
- {Defensive, decisive rebuttal - she has the science to back up her claims} There is a correlation. We've measured it. We just need more data, more test subjects, to narrow it down.
- {Unrepentant, zealot} Everything I've done has been for the greater good.
- As promised.
- {Accusatory / Angry} What would you do if your family was destroyed by a synth, right in front of you, when you were but a child?
- {Really fascinated about this} Moving on. Question 4. The data on this is fascinating. Why does baseball have the highest degree of correlation? Even more than question 8.
- {No empathy} Why else do you think we attacked her caravan? After testing, we have well over a seventy percent confidence level of our initial diagnosis.
- {Looking forward to it} I'd have to perform an autopsy to be sure.
- {Irritated, then orders her men to kill the PC / Irritated} Pity. Since we can't come to an agreement. Men.
- {No empathy for the people she killed. Complete scientific certainty} Why else do you think we attacked her caravan? She has well over a seventy percent chance of being a synth.
- {Angry Fervent / Irritated} Everything we've done has been to stop the suffering of more innocents at the hands of the Institute and their synth menace.
- {Zealot talking of "The Dream"} One day the SAFE test will be perfected.
- {Contained anger} As long as the Institute walks invisibly amongst us, they strike without warning and control us from the shadows.
- {Probing, accusing} And any progress on Question 3?
- {About to get to the thick of it} Let me pose a question to you.
- {Pleased the player shares her conviction in some part} And then everything we've done will be justified.
- {She's not going to attack her, she's prepared to be executed and will not give the PC the satisfaction of begging in any way / Somber} Then you'll just have to kill me.
- {Firm} No matter. Let me be up front about this. There are two ways this meeting can end. We come to an agreement or there's violence.
- {Proud, conviction} No, I did not. It may not look like it but there's a war being fought.
- {Considering} I'll let the reclamation team know.
- {Fervent} The synth menace must be dealt with.
- {Grim} What a distasteful business.
- {Irritated / Depressed} And here you are.
- {Irritated} Are you being silent for a reason?
- {Irritated} I'm ready to proceed if you are.
- {Razor sarcasm / Irritated} How considerate.
- {Seems sincere} As would I.
- {Sharp} So do we have a deal or not?
- {Tired} There.
- {Tired} What does Covenant need now?
- {Very pleased / Friendly} Excellent.
- {Firm} Let us continue our work and we will pay you the bounty you would be giving up. But we keep Stockton's synth.
- {She clearly will never change her mind} We've come too far to change course, even if we wanted to.
- {Real compassion here - a stern mother still loves her children} Over the years, we've recruited like-minded individuals. All of our lives shattered by the Institute.
- {Considering the player} So the one investigating Stockton's caravan has arrived. Do you even know that his supposed daughter is in all likelihood a synth?
- {Absolute denial} Impossible. The odds are too great she's an Institute infiltrator.
- {A far away traumatic memory / Sad} In Diamond City, a lifetime ago, my parents and eight others were massacred by someone. At first we thought the maniac was human.
- {She has more evidence, but she doesn't deign to share it} And there're so many other tragedies that may be their responsibility, as well.
- {To herself, distracted} I'm certain the autopsy will confirm my hypothesis.
- {Barely unsteady, but conviction swallows it} Even if she is an unfortunate victim in this war, sparing her can compromise everything.
- {Matter-of-fact} I'd have to perform an autopsy to be sure.
- {Snide / Irritated} Fortunate for me, I wasn't talking to you.
- {Clinical, pleased} If my projections are correct, the next version will be 1% more accurate.
- {She's the hero and the player could do untold evil here} If you destroy what's left here, their lives will be upended again.
- {Describing the problem she's been trying to solve her whole life} A living synth is indistinguishable from a human by any medical test yet devised.
- {Proud, zealot} I've dedicated my life to devising a test to detect these hidden synths. To root them out, so they can be extinguished.
- {Talking about killing someone, clinical} First, the loose end.
- {Grudging approval} We were under the mistaken impression you wanted to rescue the Stockton girl.
- {Angry} My life's work on the verge of ruin all because of your efforts to find Stockton's supposed daughter.
- {This is distasteful - but she will compromise just this far} I will make you a deal. I pay you handsomely. And you let me dispose of our last remaining synth test subject, Amelia Stockton. Then I can continue my work.
- {Disgusted at the thought at giving up, heated at the end / Angry} Would you roll over and accept it? Or would you do something about it?
- {Fatalistic, despises PC} You had your chance to speak with me. Go ahead, kill me or leave.
- {Sharp analytic mind relating} There's something in the questions which provokes a response from synths. But the exact trigger is elusive.
- {Contained fury at the player's actions, knows her torture could be misinterpreted by simple minds / Angry} You've cut a bloody path through my people. You've no doubt seen our work. But you do not possess all the facts.
- {Sharing her own perceived nobility} Covenant is many things. A refuge for the broken people left in the wake of the Institute's rampages. A place of safety and healing.
- {A hint of regret} Too much is at stake to allow you to simply leave.
- {But no more compassion - conviction! Dismissive of the "some"} Covenant is primarily about administering and refining the SAFE test. But some consider the humanitarian side equally as important.
- {Conviction!} The test is in its infancy, but through sacrifice and perseverance our success rate is improving.
- {Sharp} Some background is required to fully answer that.
- {Sharp} I'd have to perform an autopsy to be sure. So do we have a deal?
- {Sharp, irritated} Why do you think we attacked her caravan? She has well over a ninety percent chance of being a synth.
- {Barely distasteful at all, full of conviction} To improve the SAFE test intense psychological pressure must be applied to our test subjects. It is distasteful but necessary.
- {But sharing her epiphany, proud} But, it turns out, psychology can detect a difference. Enter the SAFE test.
- {Steely conviction} But that was the day we learned of the Institute's latest creations. The synths.
- {Almost friendly} Excellent. You'll find that Covenant has more to offer since we've come to this understanding. Goodbye.
- {Confident her men could do it though} Agreed. Killing you would be a costly proposition.
- {This is distasteful - but she will compromise just this far} I will make you a deal. If you let me dispose of Stockton's synth and continue our work I'll match whatever reward you were offered.
- {Sharp} Why are you here? You don't seem to be with the Institute.
- {Disdain towards Dan / Irritated} Does Mr. Dan speak for you, as well? Or are you willing to listen to reason?
- {Solemn} You'll find Covenant has a lot more to offer since we've come... to this understanding.
- {But sharing the VISION} But most importantly it is our one chance to end this age of paranoia.
- {Grudging admission, but sharing the dream at the end} The margin of error is admittedly high, four or five false positives per synth. But one day we hope to get it to one or two false positives.
