Scared?

No I wasn’t scared.

I was fucking terrified.

I think I’d rather get shot in the other hip than go through another six weeks like that.

Oh. I’m quite aware of my hypocrisy.

Sure, she promised she’d stay out of the way.

But my girl has never run away from a story or a fight.

And I knew she wouldn’t this time, either.

Deciding to dress up as the Mistress of Mystery? THAT I did not see coming.

My fault I guess. After all, I made a crack about dressing Strong up as Grognak.

Thank God Curie was with Mac’s team. Losing a wife I didn’t love was bad enough.

Deacon says the whole plan would have failed without her.

Hell, Deacon says she wrestled with an overheating sentry bot while Isabel was hacking it.

But Deacon … well, you know Deacon. Why tell a good story when you can tell an awesome story?

The burns are pretty bad, though, so maybe she did.

It’s the shrapnel that did the worst damage though.

I’m not sure she’ll ever be able to hold a pen again.

And I guess we can adopt.

There’s sure plenty of orphans among the people they liberated.



Thank you for coming to stay with her, Nick.

She insisted Nat go out there with me to get the full story of the exodus. We’ll be flying out there as soon as the sun is up.

Twenty-five hundred refugees, nearly two hundred prisoners, seventy-odd robots, plus the expeditionary force: it’s gonna be a clusterfuck.

As long as we can keep the captured vertibirds flying, we’ll be dropping supplies along the route. Wiseman is already organizing things on his end. So much for everybody having plenty to eat this year.

It’s gonna take the better part of a month to get them to Nuka World. Des will have temporary accommodations arranged for them, and we can bring them the rest of the way on the Monorail in batches.

Except the prisoners.

Those motherfuckers get to walk every step from Watervliet to the Castle.

I’ll PROBABLY use a boat to get them to Spectacle Island.

Or maybe I’ll make them swim.

We’ll see.
 
If they are out in Watervliet... better send 'em by train. That is normally a 9 hr ride to East Deerfield for the real thing. And then another 7+ to Boston.

Alas, fixing the trains is gonna take a while.

So there's a long walk ahead.
