  1. Vault Dweller: "The Brotherhood has a pit fighting team?"
    Initiate Pappas: "Well, not exactly. We're one of Scribe Valdez's technology recovery teams. An aggressive raider gang armed to the teeth with combat bots makes a dangerous neighbor. So, we learn about their capabilities firsthand. Our approach is... controversial inside the Brotherhood, but the Scribe goes to bat for us because we're a vital source of intel. Here, we're called the Gladiators of Steel and we've survived more than one clash in the arena. The Rust Eagles think we're here to impress them and make a name for ourselves. And we need them to keep believing that."

    Initiate Pappas: "No, not really. Why, do you have one in mind?"

    Initiate Pappas: "Yeah, I like that! Now I just have to get my teammates to use it."
