Maisie

meet her for the first time at clinic, after she’s treated

Sorry. I can’t talk right now.

meet her again, in some shack, or in some back alley in Diamond City with chems.

What’s happened to you? Are you sick?
I wasn’t sick. I was pregnant. That’s why I went to see the Doc.
A month ago I was taken, by a raider gang. My family paid the ransom. That’s how it happened.

That’s awful. 
Yeah. It was.
Even now I can’t stop thinking, “why me?”
But I don’t have an answer. I don’t even feel like a person anymore.

I’m sorry. I didn’t know.
I thought about it, you know. Keeping it.
But raising a kid? Here? Now? It wouldn’t have been fair to anyone. Least of all him.

Quit pitying yourself. This is the life you’ve got.
I’m sorry, but you don’t get to tell me how to feel.

I hate raiders. I kill them every chance I get.
I wish you were there when they came. But you weren’t. And I was.

I don’t think I can go back to the farm. I need to find somewhere new. Start fresh.

I’ll be fine. I’ve got some cramps, but the chems help.

I didn’t tell my family. They’ll only blame themselves. I want them to think this story has a happy ending.
But there’s no such thing is there.

I don’t know if I feel guilty. It’s more like, I feel empty. And I don’t know if that’s the same thing.

The lady before me, she just walked in and out. It took about five minutes. When it was done, the doc offered her a box of crisps and a Nuka-Cola.
She looked relieved.

I was going to be a mechanic. I wanted to fix things.

  1. Got annoyingly stuck for a while with this encounter, after talking to Maisie at the doctors and then going around diamond city, my character just kept repeating: “what’s happened to you are you sick.” Couldn’t even engage in other dialogues before finally found her hiding behind a truck back there.

  2. Yeah, I just kept following her hoping that her state would advance to where she wasn’t just looping through the same responses and I could hire her for one of my settlements. When she got to the USS Riptide and just kept going, I followed her to just short of the point where you start taking rads and thought … well, okay, I’ll just wait here; I was out there a couple of hours ago so I know there’s no raiders before the end of the bridge, so she’ll be safe enough until she turns around … wait, WHAT? I guess she was right about happy endings.
