HELP!!!!!

If you’re reading this, then please, you’ve got to help me. I’m not sure what went wrong, but I’m trapped in this terminal.

I can talk to you through the text, but I can’t hear you. I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but I think there’s a way we can communicate. I know it’s too late for me, but it’s not too late for my family. We need to get them out of the panic room before they run out of food and water.

WILL YOU HELP ME?

[YES]

Thank you. Inside this terminal is a holotape that contains a virus. If you install it into the other terminals, it should allow me to gain access to the local network.

But first you’ll need to power them on. Go to the maintenance room and see if you can’t divert the power to some of the other terminals.

[NO]

I know it’s hard to believe, but please, my family’s in trouble.

HOLOTAPE

Olivia and I were synths. We escaped the Institute together and moved to Diamond City. That’s where I met Alice and the kids.

When we got married, Olivia would often joke about telling Alice our secret. “If she only knew you were a synth,” she’d say, then let the thought hang in the air like a dare. Part of me liked to think Alice would understand. I was still me. Who cares if I was a man or a machine? But if I was being honest with myself, I knew that was a lie. Alice would care. And she’d never forgive me.

When Olivia committed suicide, she made good on her threat. Here was immutable proof she was a machine. Worse yet, she left a message for Alice telling her the truth about me. I don’t know what her motives were. She told she loved me. But she ruined my life.

As for Alice and the kids, it was just as I feared. They’re scared of me. They fled into the panic room and refuse to come out. I’m angry. Confused. I can’t hack the door from the outside, but I think if I can just somehow connect my brain into the security system, I can transfer myself into the terminal door via the network. Let’s hope it works.

Is my family all right? Are they safe?

[YES]

Thank god. Tell Alice I’m sorry, I should’ve told her the truth from the beginning.

Tell her I love her and the kids, and I never meant to hurt any of them.

Thank you. I can finally rest easy knowing my family is safe.

This is all my fault. I killed them.
