“Hmn. I may know someone.” someone he preferred to avoid, but was still a valuable resource in a medical setting. He hadn’t exactly been fond of Nathan’s decision to assist the doctor he knew, at least in the beginning. But she tended to make more sense to the entirety of Sanctuary than any book they brought home to try and preserve and understand knowledge on the same level as the Brotherhood. “And I suppose.. you’re welcome to shoot your shot at Sanctuary, get you started.”
Her next question made him pause, and he looked over her with clear confusion and disdain. How did she not know what a synth was? Wasn’t she Brotherhood too? “Synths are.. they appear human, at least some do, and were created by the Institute to infiltrate and destroy civilization in the Wasteland.”
“Know someone?” Veronica repeated, “This ‘someone’ happen to have a name, or do I need to just make everyone at this settlement you’re talking about fill out a medical test and whoever scores highest is who gets to teach me some medical knowledge?” She quirked a brow. “Sanctuary? Is that the settlement you’re talking about? You have any suggestions on who to talk to, and what I can do to convince them to put me on their settlement-guarding payroll?”
Veronica looked more and more disbelieving as Danse spoke of synths. “Okay, okay, Big Guy, back it up. These ‘synths’ were never an issue in the Mojave so you’re going to have to start from the beginning. What is the ‘Institute’ and why are they making creepy robot people to destroy civilization?”
