| - Hey.
- {Apologetic} Look, I- I'm sorry I drew my weapon on you, kid.
- {Disbelief} Kid, you must've been kicked in the head by a Brahmin if you think that's happening.
- {Thinking} Any second now they might send some signal, or I'll see the color orange, or whatever it is they do and BOOM.
- Glad to see you don't have a death wish. Now get out of here.
- {Sarcastic} Ooh, I'm shakin' right down to my circuits. You can't scare a Synth kid.
- {Suspicious} Those... people... I'm not gonna say their name in case it's a trigger, but they replace people with machines.
- {Amused} Are you not from around here? Or are you just dumber than a box of hair?
- {Disbelief} Boy, you are just dumber than a mole rat. Do you not get that I'm dangerous?
- {Depressed} I'm sitting there with a gun across my knees looking out over the hill and- and I think I fell asleep... It's just blank...
- {Irritated} Got your lookeloo at the synth? Ready to get out of here before they make me hurt you?
- {Tired} I need a while to think about things. I'll consider what you said.
- {Grateful} I think you're right. I gotta find a way to make peace with what happened, and I can't keep running from it.
- {With a resigned sigh and trying to raise your spirits / Somber} Maybe you're right.
- {Angry} You think I don't know that you little shit?
- {InPain} The next thing I remember is the sound of a gun shot shaking me out of it.
- {Angry} I thought I told you to stay the hell out of my stuff.
- {Tired} Don't you get it kid? I'm too dangerous. I'll just end up hurting someone else.
- {Irritated} I don't know what you're looking for, but you'd better find it and get out of here.
- Do whatever you want with this place.
- Don't mess with a synth.
- {With a sigh. still not feeling great, but feeling better about getting things off your chest. / Thinking} Day at a time, huh?
- Get the hell out of here you arrogant little shit!
- I warned you to get out of here kid.
- I'll try to make it fast.
- {Tired} Look I already told you. My grandson Samuel was shot and the gun was in my hands.
- {Disgust} You're a terrible liar kid. Whatever, just do what you came here for and get on your way.
- {Angry} You had no right going through my stuff and prying into my business.
- {Tired} Well, now you understand how I know I'm a synth, and why you need to leave.
- {Somber} Gonna be weird trying to find somewhere new to start over.
- {Irritated} Now, are you going to get out of here or wait for them to make me kill you?
- {InPain} No, there was no one else it could have been. It was just me and him. And the gun.
- The Brotherhood of Steel? You're welcome to try.
- {Puzzled} Who the hell do you think is gonna help a synth, kid?
- Yeah you better run.
- {Sad} There's nothing else to tell. Everyone came running out, but it was just me and Samuel. No raiders. No gunners. Just blood.
- {Depressed} Either I'm a synth, and they made me do it, or I killed my own grandson.
- {Depressed} And it's all my fault. You can't imagine what that's like.
- {Surprised} That- That's none of your damn business.
- {You have begrudgingly allowed the player to stick around, but are not friendly in any way. Should feel still hostile. / Irritated} What on earth makes you think I want to talk to you?
- {Defiant} Fine, just do whatever you came here to do and get the hell out of here. And stay out of my stuff.
- Kid, I don't know what the hell the "SRB" is, but I would appreciate it if you didn't joke around about this.
- {Stern} Black outs. People I've hurt that I don't remember.
- {InPain} And Samuel is at my feet and there's blood everywhere.
- {Thinking} I'm going to take care of a few things here, but then I'll be moving on.
- {Tired} Was I ever that naive? The world doesn't work that way kid.
- {Angry} Bullshit. No one comes out here.
- {Angry} I warned you kid.
- {Apologetic} Good. Now please just go.
- {Depressed} If you say so.
- {Irritated} Hello? You awake in there kid?
- {Irritated} You gonna just stand there or what?
- {Sad} I was on watch one night. I- I don't...
- {Somber} One more dead fool.
- {Stern} Times up kid!
- {Thinking} Hm... I'll think about it.
- {Thinking} I don't know. Let me think about it.
- {Thinking} Maybe I'll try heading out west.
- {Thinking} Yeah. Maybe that's what I'll do.
- {Thinking} You've given me a lot to think about.
- {Tired} I'll be out of your way soon.
- {A bit softer in tone, you want the player gone, but you aren't angry / Irritated} Just do whatever you're here for and leave me alone, okay?
- {Irritated} Then why are you trying to get my hopes up?
- {Conspiratorial} But instead of gears and motor, it's synthetic blood and guts. They could be anyone. For all I know, you're one of them.
- {Angry} It means I'm a Synth you numbskull, and if you don't take off I'm liable to put a hole in your head.
- {Depressed} Even if you're right, what does it matter? There's nothing left for me.
- {Somber} I managed to get us in on a farm. Hard on these old bones, but it kept us fed.
- {With a wince. You opened up to someone and they have not been gentle about it. / InPain} Guess I've earned that.
- {Sarcastic disbelief, though not at all playful / Sarcastic} Right, you just strolled in out of the Commonwealth lookin for Synths to talk to.
- {You have begrudgingly allowed the player to stick around, but are not friendly in any way. Should feel still hostile. / Tired} Kid, just get on your way.
- {Grateful} Thanks for taking the time to talk to me, kid.
- {Depressed} But I guess he wasn't really my grandson. They must have just given me those memories, cause who could have done that to their own flesh and blood?
- {Angry} Yeah, well wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which fills up faster.
- {Suspicious} Maybe that's just how they programmed me, so I wouldn't blow my cover when I started shooting.
- {Somber} Now you know why I'm out here and why you need to leave before they make me kill again. I'm a synth and I can't be trusted.
- {A bit softer in tone, you want the player gone, but you aren't angry / Irritated} Not really in the mood to talk.
- {Irritated} Well, what's it gonna be? If you're smart, you'll clear out kid.
- {Disbelief} You can't lie to a Synth kid, we can hear it in your voice.
- {A bit softer in tone, you want the player gone, but you aren't angry / Irritated} Like I said, there's a bed upstairs if you need to rest.
- {Irritated} You think this is a joke? They take people out of their beds and replace them with... with things like me. Machines.
- {Conspiratorial} They've got something they use to control us, to make us do things we don't want to do.
- {Angry} That's it, I've had it with you. Get the hell out of here before they make me kill you.
- {Irritated} Kid, I don't know who you are, but you'd better clear out before I go haywire and blast you.
- {Sad} I know, everyone loses people but... but not like this.
- {Tired} Look kid you're taking a risk staying here to talk to me, but if that's what it'll take to get you to leave...
- Fine. Take care of your business then get the hell out of here.
- {Sad} One moment he was there and then the next... just gone. Those little fingers that used to hold my hand...
- {Somber} My grandson Samuel and I were on our own since my daughter died.
- {Sad} No. When they heard the shot, everyone came running out, but no one saw anyone else but me and Samuel.
- {Irritated} You can have a look around, but stay out of my stuff.
- {Disbelief} You'd still ask for my help, knowing what I've done?
- {Angry} Fuck you, I didn't ask for you to pass judgement.
- {Stern} Fine. There's a bed up stairs if you need it, but it's not safe to stick around here.
- {Apologetic} I- Oh. I didn't- I hope you find him. Family is the only thing worth a damn in this world.
