The scent of blood is thick in the air, the fresh corpses that litter the ground responsible for the horrible stench. The woman with whom he is assigned to leans against a metal shack, absent-mindedly twisting the knobs on her Pip-Boy. She glances at him when he materializes. Her stance indicates boredom. As he approaches Rose, she corrects her posture so that she’s standing up straight.
“I was beginning to wonder if you’d ever show up,” she muses. “It wouldn’t be a party with a Courser.” Her nonchalance is surprising although not unfounded. Her first encounter with the Institute’s supersoldiers resulted in the death of the lethal killer, and consequently, her fear vanished. It’s disconcerting, to an extent. Coursers are the Institute’s deadliest …show more content…
A swim in the irradiated water is not included in his mission plans. A Raider perched on top of a metal structure swings his rifle in the Courser’s direction, preparing to fire, but X6-88 is faster. With three flashes of blue, the Raider burns to ashes. Another Raider, upon hearing the commotion, is quick to fire at the duo. Rose stops him dead in his tracks with her 10 mm.
He continues on while Rose collects anything of value off the dead Raiders. Another boat-turned-home harbors a handful of enemies that he, along with his partner, dispatch with ease. Her precision is deadly, like that of a soldier. A Brotherhood soldier, perhaps but impressive nonetheless. Side by side, the two bring a hurricane of death to the unsuspecting Raiders.
“Hold up a moment, ma’am. There’s something important I need to tell you,” he says once they reconvene in the room that leads to the upper deck. Rose had gone back to retrieve the Fat-Man which she now wields proudly. “Don’t worry. I’ve used these before,” she had assured him when she showed it off.
“Lay it on me.”
“I'm going to give you B5-92's reset code. If he hears the code phrase, it'll reset his cognitive processes and make him …show more content…
The Raiders lay face down on the floor, dead. Rose busies herself by unlocking the steamer trunk and X6-88 wipes the blood off of his face with his sleeve. For a woman lacking X6-88’s superior training, Rose is highly proficient. When he heard she had taken down a Courser, he assumed she had gotten lucky—even though X6-88 didn’t believe in such an absurd concept. After witnessing her in combat, he soon realized that luck had no factor; Rose possessed impressive skills.
“I will be heading back to the Institute now, ma’am,” he informs her while she digs through the pockets of the dead Raiders. “Waste not, want not,” she had said when he was caught eyeing her. If only he had a bottlecap for idiom she uttered.
“Okay,” Rose says with a dismissive wave of her hand. “I’ll be there. Eventually.”
X6-88 grabs B5-92 and, in a flash of blue Rose would come to be overly familiar with, vanishes. As soon as his feet make contact with the floor, the runaway is retrieved by a group of Generation 3 synths. The Courser reports back to Ayo first, then Father.
“How did things go?” Of course Father would want more information than Ayo.
“It was a success, sir,” X6-88 replies curtly.
“And what about
