So, on a bittersweet note, Sterling came back to Sanctuary to tell us about his journey so far.
He told us about how he got to meet his son, Shaun. Shaun is actually an older man now apparently, I guess we were temporarily woken from cryostasis that one time years ago before waking up for real.
Why is it bittersweet? Well, he wants to go stay at the Institute permanently. Shaun gave him a place to stay there- and Sterling wants to be around his son. He says Shaun isn’t doing well, so he wants to spend as much time with him as possible.
He spoke so highly of the Institute.. he said their tech is amazing and that they have a real shot at returning the world to the way it was before the bombs dropped; But how could an organization that steals and replaces people possibly be a good thing? Ruby and I tried to reason with him, but it was no good… It ended up in a huge argument between him, and Ruby and I.
I can’t believe it.. I actually treasured our journey together up until this point.. it’s hard to imagine that our paths would split like this. The Minutemen are still going to work with the Railroad, but I worry that someday the two of us will have to fight against the boogeyman of the Commonwealth together.
I’m sorry Sterling, but if worst comes to worst.. we’ll have to stop you. No matter how good their tech is, we can’t allow the people here be collateral damage.. I just won’t sit by and let that happen.
