Mutant Mike: fidgeting I-I d-did it a-again. T-touched everything. Radios w-were just s-so fascinating!
boy they really tried to give you something to feel like you matter how did the radio thing become an issue?
nervously taps foot W-well, y-you see... I've been collecting old radios for years now. They're just so... shiny! And t-there's so many of them here...
oh boy you are in trouble as soon as the brotherhood shows up
panicking N-no, no! I can't let them take me back to Vault 111 again! They'll never let me out again, I just know it!
what happened with your family?
frantically pacing T-they... they disowned me. S-said I was too much of a troublemaker. T-they didn't understand me, so they just... left me behind.
well I guess the brotherhood has there reasons I still have no idea what the hell you have to do with the radiow
stops pacing, looks at SkyBlueAnguish with desperation Please, you've got to help me! I can't survive in Vault 111 alone! They'll experiment on me, or worse!
you are already a super mutant aren't you?
grabs SkyBlueAnguish's arm, pleading Y-yes, but that's the point! I'm already on the edge, I don't need them pushing me further!
wait...your a super mutant?
nods rapidly Y-yes, I'm a super mutant. It's not something I chose, it's just... who I am now. But I don't want to be experimented on, I don't want to be controlled. I just want to be left alone to live my life, you know?
well maybe you should have thought of that before going off touching stuff
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Look, I know I messed up. I shouldn't have touched everything, I know that now.
just be careful where you touch stuff next time
nods earnestly Y-yes, you're right. I promise to be more careful with my surroundings. T-touching things is just...
nervously rubs the back of his neck Y-yeah, you could say that. It's just something I've always done, ever since the Great War.
well I guess I can't blame you for wanting to hold onto something that makes you feel connected to before the war
smiles gratefully T-thank you for understanding. It means a lot to me. I just... I find comfort in the small things, the reminders of what life used to be like.
well I hope they don't punish you to much for being a super mutant
gulps W-well, I've learned the hard way that the Brotherhood doesn't take kindly to super mutants.
wait they know you are a super mutant?
whispers nervously Y-yeah, they know. They caught me trying to sneak into Vault 111 a few years ago, and... well, let's just say they weren't very welcoming.
damn well I hope they at least let you keep your radios
grabs SkyBlueAnguish's hand tightly P-please, you've got to help me get these radios back. They're the only connection I have to my past, to the people I lost.
well I am not sure how you got them in the first place, but I can try to talk to the brotherhood about letting you keep them
grabs SkyBlueAnguish's hands, eyes shining with gratitude Th-thank you, thank you so much! I... I don't know how to repay you.
by being honest with me and not trying to kill me?
nods vigorously Y-yes, absolutely! I will do anything to repay you. Just please, please don't let them take those radios away from me.
let's go talk to the brotherhood
grabs SkyBlueAnguish's arm and starts leading them towards the Brotherhood's base Th-thank you, thank you! I won't let you down, I promise.
we arrive at the brotherhood base
takes a deep breath, straightens his posture B-brace yourself, SkyBlueAnguish. The Brotherhood can be... intimidating.
