2{amused by the irony / Amused} Someday, father, this will all be yours...
3{amused by the irony / Amused} Someday, mother, this will all be yours...
4I'm glad you could be here to share this with me.
5Our advances will, in time, change the world.
6I couldn't be more proud of what we've achieved.
7Perhaps someday our synths can reclaim the Commonwealth.
8Hello, father. I hope your time in the Institute has been enjoyable.
9Hello, mother. Enjoying your time here?
10Let your surroundings be a reminder of what Science and willpower can accomplish.
11I often wonder what the Institute's founders would think of our accomplishments.

25Inst301SceneFatherEnd{A bit detached and formal, but with genuine warmth / Relieved} I'm glad to see you return safely.Father: I know the task was difficult, but I needed you to see firsthand how dangerous a rogue synth can be.A
26NPCMShaun60: I'm glad to see you return safely.{Formal, a lesson} I know the task was difficult, but I needed you to see firsthand how dangerous a rogue synth can be.Player Default: Gabriel and his gang were sick bastards, hanging their victims up like trophies. I'm just glad it's over.A1a
27Player Default: Gabriel and his gang were sick bastards, hanging their victims up like trophies. I'm just glad it's over.{Sad / Sad} While we can do nothing for Gabriel's victims, we can at least take comfort in the knowledge that the threat has been removed.Father: In any case, the mission is over.A1a
28Player Default: The Institute created that synth, so the Institute is responsible for what it does.{A lesson, preaching a bit} I disagree. A synth is no more inherently evil than a handgun.B1a
29{A lesson, preaching a bit} When a man dies by gunshot, is the weapon's maker blamed? Of course not.B1b
30{A lesson, preaching a bit} The blame rightly falls on he who pulled the trigger.B1c
31{A lesson, preaching a bit} Yes, we created the synth, but whether they intended to or not, the Railroad's agents turned it into a killer.Father: In any case, the mission is over.B1d
32Player Default: I don't care about who's to blame. I just wanted to stop a killer.Yes, of course. Your pragmatism is admirable.X1a
33{A warning} It does matter, though. If everyone sees the Institute as a villain, dangerous forces could align against us.X1b
34If we can put the lie to such assumptions, we diminish that threat.Father: In any case, the mission is over.X1c
35Player Default: Why do you care what happens on the surface? You're in your own world down here.{Wary / Concerned} Because there are forces on the surface that could pose a threat to us, and only a fool ignores a possible threat.Y1a
36We might diminish that danger by correcting the false perception that we intend some great harm to mankind.Father: In any case, the mission is over.Y1b
37Player Default: While we can do nothing for Gabriel's victims, we can at least take comfort in the knowledge that the threat has been removed.{Matter-of-fact} In any case, the mission is over.A1a
38{A little disappointed to start, then evening out to a more neutral tone} While it's unfortunate that the synth was destroyed, the important thing is that you could see some of the good work we do.Father: While you were away, I had quarters prepared for you.A1b
39Player Default: While we can do nothing for Gabriel's victims, we can at least take comfort in the knowledge that the threat has been removed.{Amiable, good news} But enough about that. The task is done and you've returned our synth safely to us.A2a
40{Amiable, good news / Happy} I couldn't have hoped for a better outcome. Well done.Father: While you were away, I had quarters prepared for you.A2b
41Father: While it's unfortunate that the synth was destroyed, the important thing is that you could see some of the good work we do.{Magnanimous} While you were away, I had quarters prepared for you.A1a
42You'll find all the basic necessities, as well as a generous stock of arms and equipment.A1b
43{Warm, generous, a bit excited even. You're proud of your gift.} Go and have a look. I think you'll be quite pleased.A1c
44Inst301SceneFatherIntro{Proud / Question} Now that you've had a chance to see the Institute first-hand, what do you think?Player Default: You've got technology here that I never dreamed possible. It's amazing.A
45Player Default: If the synths are intelligent and self-aware, then they have a right to free will.However closely they may approximate human behavior, they are still our creations.A1a
46{Confident / Confident} When you see what I have to show you, I think you'll agree that we know what is best for our synths.Father: A rogue synth has taken over the raider gang at Libertalia.A1b
47Player Default: If they're so dangerous, you should destroy them and start over with a better design.{Confident / Confident} There is no need for such drastic action. We are constantly working to correct any flaws that might arise.B1a
48{Confident / Confident} As you will soon see, we're also more than capable of reclaiming any synths that become a danger to the surface.Father: A rogue synth has taken over the raider gang at Libertalia.B1b
49Player Default: So it's like every other wonder-gizmo ever invented. When will you eggheads learn?{Amused} Have faith. Let me show you how we deal with such problems.Father: A rogue synth has taken over the raider gang at Libertalia.X1a
50Player Default: What do you mean by proper supervision?I mean that while they are here in the Institute, fulfilling the purpose for which they were designed, our synths perform admirably.Y1a
51{Pause at the ellipsis as you choose the next word carefully} As you're about to see, however, they can become... unpredictable when set loose.Father: A rogue synth has taken over the raider gang at Libertalia.Y1b
52Player Default: You've got technology here that I never dreamed possible. It's amazing.{Approving / Neutral} I'm glad you can appreciate what we've accomplished. None of it has been easy.Father: Ultimately, all of our knowledge and resources are focused on a single goal. That goal is best summarized by our motto: Mankind - redefined.A1a
53Player Default: If you expect me to be impressed by a lot of fancy sci-fi gizmos, you'd be wrong.{Disappointed / Concerned} I see.B1a
54{A little condescending, but not intentionally / Concerned} It's not just about the "gizmos," as you say. I hope you'll see that in time.Father: Ultimately, all of our knowledge and resources are focused on a single goal. That goal is best summarized by our motto: Mankind - redefined.B1b
55Player Default: I've seen my share of think-tank science labs.{Self-assured, confident / Confident} Oh, I assure you, none of them were quite like this place.Father: Ultimately, all of our knowledge and resources are focused on a single goal. That goal is best summarized by our motto: Mankind - redefined.X1a
56Player Default: First things first. How do I get back to the surface?The same way you got in, of course.Y1a
57{Reassuring. / Neutral} You are not a prisoner here. You may come and go as you please.Father: Ultimately, all of our knowledge and resources are focused on a single goal. That goal is best summarized by our motto: Mankind - redefined.Y1b
58Player Default: I'm glad you can appreciate what we've accomplished. None of it has been easy.{Confident... grandstanding a bit / Confident} Ultimately, all of our knowledge and resources are focused on a single goal. That goal is best summarized by our motto: Mankind - redefined.Father: Unfortunately, no advancement comes without occasional setbacks.A1a
59Father: Ultimately, all of our knowledge and resources are focused on a single goal. That goal is best summarized by our motto: Mankind - redefined.{Concerned} Unfortunately, no advancement comes without occasional setbacks.A1a
60{choosing words carefully / Concerned} As remarkable as our synths are, they can be... dangerous without proper supervision.A1b
61{Concerned} The superior synth mind and body attempting to wrestle with something approaching free will can be a recipe for chaos.Player Default: If the synths are intelligent and self-aware, then they have a right to free will.A1c
62Player Default: When you see what I have to show you, I think you'll agree that we know what is best for our synths.A rogue synth has taken over the raider gang at Libertalia.A1a
63His memories have been erased and his identity altered. He believes he's a man named Gabriel.A1b
64{Tinged with regret} Under his leadership, the raiders have taken many innocent lives.A1c
65I've dispatched a Courser to Libertalia. I'd like you to join him and reclaim that synth.Player Default: We'll bring that synth home.A1d
66Player Default: We'll bring that synth home.{Certain} That would be best for everyone.Father: Now, you should get moving. Many people are in danger, and a delay could cost lives.A1a
67Player Default: It might not want to talk. It would be safer just to kill it.{Disapproving} That would be a terrible waste of a valuable resource.B1a
68If at all possible, that synth should be returned alive.Father: Now, you should get moving. Many people are in danger, and a delay could cost lives.B1b
69Player Default: Sure, we'll just fight our way through an army of homicidal maniacs and ask this synth to come on home.I didn't say it would be easy, but I'm confident that with a Courser at your side, you'll have no trouble.Father: Now, you should get moving. Many people are in danger, and a delay could cost lives.X1a
70Player Default: Who erased his memories? And why?Those idealistic radicals who call themselves the Railroad are behind it.Y1a
71{Urgency} We'll deal with them in time, but right now the priority is to reclaim that synth before more harm is done.Father: Now, you should get moving. Many people are in danger, and a delay could cost lives.Y1b
72Player Default: That would be best for everyone.{Self-assured, confident, knowing} Now, you should get moving. Many people are in danger, and a delay could cost lives.A1a
73-{Urgent} The sooner that synth is safely back in the Institute, the better for everyone.
74Libertalia isn't hard to find. Just look for the jumble of wrecked ships floating in the harbor.
75{Urgent} You should get going. There's no time to waste.
76I hope you'll find your quarters adequate.
77You should go and see the room we've prepared for you.
78{Confident} Now you'll have a place to stay that's far safer than any on the surface.
79{Sad, with heavy heart} A regrettable turn of events.
80{Sad, with heavy heart} I wish there was something I could say or do to ease your pain, but there's no changing the past.
81{Sad, with heavy heart} All that we can do now is to make the most of what time we have left.
82Nevertheless, they are a danger. Allow me to explain.

87Player Default: It's my fault. I wasn't able to complete the mission.{RE-RECORD} I gave you this opportunity to prove yourself. Particularly to prove to the Directorate that you deserve a place here.A1a

89Player Default: I made a choice. I let the synths go free.{confused, upset / Disbelief} Why? Why would you do something so... so stupid?Player Default: They were afraid. They didn't want to come back here.B1a
90Player Default: I made a choice. I let the synths go free.{disappointed/frustrated RE-RECORD / Stern} Wasn't enough? A single Courser could have done that job by himself. You must see how disappointing this is.B2a
91{RE-RECORD} It's already been suggested that the mission was sabotaged. Do you have any idea how difficult this makes things for me?Shaun: Bunker Hill was to cement your place as a valuable asset to the Institute. It will now only raise suspicions.B2b
92Player Default: We were totally ambushed. They were waiting for us.{RE-RECORD} You can imagine that I find it very hard to believe, given that all the intelligence leading up to this indicated we'd take them by surprise.Shaun: Bunker Hill was to cement your place as a valuable asset to the Institute. It will now only raise suspicions.X1a
93Player Default: We got our asses kicked. Does it matter how?{RE-RECORD / Stern} The chances of failing this mission were so astronomically low that yes, it does indeed matter.Shaun: Bunker Hill was to cement your place as a valuable asset to the Institute. It will now only raise suspicions.Y1a

138Player Default: It was a job that needed doing.Yes, but it was also a job that you needed to be aware of.Shaun: The Railroad remains an annoyance, of course, but they'll be dealt with as necessary.X1a
139Player Default: What do you mean, the Synths will be "repurposed?"{slightly dismissive} Modifications will be made to correct the defects in their programming, and they'll be assigned to new duties within the Institute.Y1a

153Player Default: What if I don't want to "represent the Institute?" Have you thought about that?{annoyed} to be quite honest: no, I hadn't considered that.

167Player Default: I'd teach the guy a lesson; make sure he never does it again.Using physical force is never my first choice, but there are times when it becomes necessary.Shaun: You've been in contact with the Railroad, so you're aware of their misguided beliefs.B1a
168Player Default: After everything I've been through to find you? I think you already know.I'm sorry, father. Of course, you're right.Shaun: You've been in contact with the Railroad, so you're aware of their misguided beliefs.X1a

172Player Default: You dealt with Libertalia. That's the result of their selfish, short-sighted plan.Usually they are a minor nuisance, but lately they have become more emboldened.Shaun: I'm afraid we've reached a point where a response is necessary.A1a
173Shaun: Usually they are a minor nuisance, but lately they have become more emboldened.I'm afraid we've reached a point where a response is necessary.Shaun: We have learned the current location of these synths, and need to re-acquire them before the Railroad can hide them.A1a

179Player Default: An admirable goal. And yet we find ourselves in a situation where something more significant must be done.The group that calls themselves "The Railroad" has acquired several synths from the Institute, synths that had gone missing in recent months.Shaun: You've been in contact with the Railroad, so you're aware of their misguided beliefs.A1a

184Player Default: I'm not sure why you'd bother.Aside from taking back our property, we must teach them a lesson, as it were. And quickly, at that.Shaun: But it's important that we act on this soon, before the Railroad has any indication we've tracked them.X1a

186Player Default: Hopefully, yes.But it's important that we act on this soon, before the Railroad has any indication we've tracked them.Shaun: We also don't want the Brotherhood of Steel getting wind of the presence of the synths. That would only complicate matters.A1a

189Player Default: Seriously, this is a waste of my time.{Stern} Like many things at the Institute, this has ramifications beyond the immediate objective. Keep that in mind.B1a
190A Courser will be waiting for you near Bunker Hill. You'll need him.B1b

192There will be a Courser waiting for you near Bunker Hill. Please find him before barging in.X1b

194NPCMShaun60: Ah, hello father.Tell me, what would you do when someone has stolen from you?Shaun: You've been in contact with the Railroad, so you're aware of their misguided beliefs.A1a

196-Bunker Hill must be dealt with, if for no other reason than to make a point.

224Inst303DirectoratePhase3ScenePlayer Default: Quite right. For far too long we've been dependent on others, on our surroundings.

235Player Default: Really? There's no shame in being out of the loop, as it were.

That time is over.Shaun: Phase Three is, simply, the activation of a nuclear reactor that can provide enough power to the Institute now and forever.A1a
240Player Default: Compromise is for the weak.That is one perspective, yes. But I think we can agree that going forward, no one can consider us weak.Shaun: Phase Three is, simply, the activation of a nuclear reactor that can provide enough power to the Institute now and forever.B1a
241Player Default: Right, such hard times down here.I would never disagree that life in the Institute is better than above ground. We have done much to ensure it.X1a

248Player Default: I have no idea what that is.I'll admit, I'm relieved. It's intended to be something of a classified project, which I'm sure means everyone already knows about it.Shaun: Power is, as I'm sure you've seen above ground, a very valuable commodity.B1a
249Shaun: Yes, Doctor Ayo. Previously we would rely on Kellogg for above ground operations, yes? Well, he is gone.While I am not overly fond of putting my own father in harm's way, he has proven more than capable of handling himself.Justin: Yes, but...A1a

252Shaun: This is not a matter for debate.Now, there is one more subject that requires discussion.Clayton: I don't know that this is the time...A1a
253Player Default: I don't think so.It's all right. I wouldn't expect you to have. The project has been classified from the beginning.Shaun: Power is, as I'm sure you've seen above ground, a very valuable commodity.X1a

263I must say, it's somewhat embarrassing to attempt to name you as my successor when you can't even be bothered to stay at the meeting.Shaun: Well, I'm not sure how much you heard about the state of the reactor, but it was apparently too much to ask for you to be there for the rest.A1b

271In the future, you'll need to consider your priorities more carefully. Being Director will demand much of your attention.Player Default: I can do the job.B1b

278Player Default: I don't want to run this place.Are you so sure? You seem to have a natural talent for leading by example, getting things done.B1a
279This will suit you. And I think we can both agree the Institute will need the guidance.Shaun: There's no question that some of the Directorate, and the Institute at large, will need reassurances about your appointment.B1b

281Player Default: What would it mean to be in charge?Most divisions of the Institute are fairly autonomous, perfectly capable of functioning without intervention.Y1a

359Player Default: They want freedom for the synths, that's all. They're not a threat to the Institute.{angry} Of course. They claim they're about "rights" and "freedom" for synths.

367Father: Then I certainly hope I can count on you for what needs to be done.Because these fanatics cannot be allowed to continue to exist.

371Player Default: I won't do that. No more violence... There's been too much already.While it might normally be a subject for debate, in this case I'm afraid we have no choice.Father: These people are zealots.

688Player Default: Yeah, you lost me. I don't see the point of any of this.You don't see the connection? Let me try to explain.Shaun: The Institute endeavored to create synthetic organics. The most logical starting point, of course, was human DNA.B1a
689Player Default: I think I see where this is going...Then perhaps you already understand why it was necessary for the Institute to acquire me.Shaun: The Institute endeavored to create synthetic organics. The most logical starting point, of course, was human DNA.X1a
690Player Default: Human synths? Really?{correcting an error / Stern} Human-like synths. A great distinction.Shaun: The Institute endeavored to create synthetic organics. The most logical starting point, of course, was human DNA.Y1a
691Player Default: In a manner of speaking, yes.The Institute endeavored to create synthetic organics. The most logical starting point, of course, was human DNA.Shaun: Plenty of that was available, of course, but it had all become corrupted. In this... wasteland... radiation affected everyone.A1a

Another source was necessary.But then the Institute found me, after discovering records from Vault 111. An infant, frozen in time, protected from the radiation-induced mutations that had crept into every other human cell in the Commonwealth.Shaun: I was exactly what they needed. And so it was my DNA that became the basis of the synthetic organics used to create every human-like synth you see today.A1a

709Player Default: Your Institute has done some horrible things.{slightly offended} Yes, well... the world is not what it used to be.Shaun: What about the people you've aided in order to get here? What atrocities have they committed?B1a
710Player Default: I don't know what to do.I realize that. It's why I'm trying to help you.Shaun: I hope you can see that, rationally, the Institute is the only thing left in the world that's worth being part of.X1a
711Player Default: How can you say that? How can you be so dismissive of all those people, everything they've done?Because it is the simple truth, and I believe you know it too.Shaun: I simply ask that you give the Institute.... me... a chance. A chance to show you what I've been telling you.Y1a

716Shaun: What about the people you've aided in order to get here? What atrocities have they committed?This... "Railroad." Willing to sacrifice humans for the sake of synths. Think about that for a moment.B2a
717Would you kill your fellow man to save a Nuka Cola machine? They have completely disconnected from reality.Shaun: None have any true claim to nobility in this world. Those days are gone. But we are not the monsters we have been cast as.B2b

733Player Default: I'm not here to take orders.I'm afraid things here are different from the lawless wastes above.

741Player Default: "Follow your lead?" Why do you get to call the shots?{slightly annoyed} Because my entire life has taken place within these walls. I have studied, I have trained, I have devoted my life to the Institute.Y1a
742{Stern} I have proven time and time again that the success of the Institute is my primary goal, and I have sacrificed a great deal along the way.Y1b

744MQ207Stage150SynthScenePlayer Default: You made a child synth... that looks like you. That's... it's... It's an abomination!{disappointed / Irritated} It's a synth, not a human being. A simulacrum. Try to be more open-minded.Shaun: I'll make sure it's brought back online in the near future. You'll have an opportunity to interact with him further.B1a
745Player Default: It seems like a strange choice, on more than one level.{sympathetic, proud / Apologetic} I can understand how it might seem that way. It was... it is, something new. New discoveries are always welcome.Shaun: I'll make sure it's brought back online in the near future. You'll have an opportunity to interact with him further.X1a
746Player Default: Why build it to look like you?{proud} We'd advanced the technology behind synths to a point where this struck me as an interesting variation.Y1a
747{proud} A new angle, if you will. Modeling it after myself seemed only natural, what with Institute records on my genetics and physiology.Shaun: I'll make sure it's brought back online in the near future. You'll have an opportunity to interact with him further.Y1b
748Player Default: Yes, but... not the Shaun you were looking for. In some ways, the synth is far closer to what you expected.I wouldn't claim to know everything that you're feeling, but... If in some small way the boy's presence can help, I hope you'll keep an open mind.A1a
749PlayerVoiceFemale01: Shaun, about this synth...{proud / Neutral} You mean the child? It's a fascinating project, really. There are issues to be solved, of course, but we've made remarkable progress.Player Default: He's definitely impressive.A1a
750Player Default: He's definitely impressive.{proud} Yes, it's pushed our technology to the limit. We've gained some valuable insights in terms of both hardware and software.Shaun: I'll make sure it's brought back online in the near future. You'll have an opportunity to interact with him further.A1a
751Player Default: Yes, it's pushed our technology to the limit. We've gained some valuable insights in terms of both hardware and software.I'll make sure it's brought back online in the near future. You'll have an opportunity to interact with him further.Shaun: But... I'll admit, I'm curious. As a parent looking for his child, looking for the younger version of me... What do you think?A1a
752Shaun: I'll make sure it's brought back online in the near future. You'll have an opportunity to interact with him further.But... I'll admit, I'm curious. As a parent looking for his child, looking for the younger version of me... What do you think?A1a
753{Question} Do you think you could love him? Like you would a real boy?Player Default: I don't need a synth. I found the real Shaun.A1b
754Player Default: I don't need a synth. I found the real Shaun.Yes, but... not the Shaun you were looking for. In some ways, the synth is far closer to what you expected.Shaun: I wouldn't claim to know everything that you're feeling, but... If in some small way the boy's presence can help, I hope you'll keep an open mind.A1a
755Player Default: It's not you. It's not even human. I could never love that.No, perhaps not. But in many ways, he matches what you've been searching for all this time.Shaun: I wouldn't claim to know everything that you're feeling, but... If in some small way the boy's presence can help, I hope you'll keep an open mind.B1a
756Player Default: This is all... it's too much. I just don't know anymore.I understand. You've been through quite a lot.Shaun: I wouldn't claim to know everything that you're feeling, but... If in some small way the boy's presence can help, I hope you'll keep an open mind.X1a
757Player Default: Seriously? You really believe a human could love a synth?That's... a difficult question. I suppose it depends on how closely we've managed to mimic human behavior and emotions.Y1a
758Yours is a unique position. Possibly the only one that's truly able to answer these questions right now.Shaun: I wouldn't claim to know everything that you're feeling, but... If in some small way the boy's presence can help, I hope you'll keep an open mind.Y1b
759-{disappointed} It's time for you to leave.
760{disappointed} You'll have to go now. I'm sorry.
761{disappointed} I wish things had gone differently.
