Chapter Eighty-Three: Deacon and Maxson
Returning to the Prydwin, chatting with the soldiers stationed there, Emma took Curie to communicate with the medical bachelor, Curie was on the helicopter and remembered about it, and Diegon didn't know where to go as soon as he got on the airship, Zhang Lin didn't deliberately look for it, nor did he go to Elder Maxson in the first place, but came to the door of the confinement room.
I saw Bachelor Helen sitting outside the door of the confinement room, talking with Danse who was locked inside, Danse didn't seem to be abnormal, but he was a little depressed, and when he saw Zhang Lin coming, both of them looked at him.
"I couldn't believe why Dance was a synth, I knew him when I was a recruit, he trained me and taught me what to look out for...... I adore and respect him, and he is a mentor and friend. Maester Helen's voice trembled a little, and she couldn't accept it for a moment when she had come back this morning.
"The moment I was sure I was a synth, I felt like everything I was holding on to was in vain, would the robot think? It's impossible for a robot to make decisions on its own, and even some of my memories are fake...... But Elder Maxson didn't choose to kill me, and blocked the news, just used other excuses to temporarily lock me up here, what is Elder's attitude now? Dans has reached the point of doubting his life, and overnight he has become the enemy he insisted on destroying, and how big the shadow area in his heart is.
"I haven't gone to Maxson yet, maybe he's still hesitating, but, Dans, from the time you were brainwashed by the railroad to the capital, to the time you were drafted by the Brotherhood in Rivet City, you lived for yourself, you were like everyone else, you could think, you had your own feelings, you weren't a robot." Zhang Lin smiled dryly, "Okay, maybe it should be called an artificial ......."
"But I'm ...... All synths are destabilizing factors, and if they get out of control, they are likely to bring a new crisis to a world that has been destroyed by technology once. "Dans is still a little inclined that synths should be eliminated, and it can be seen how enthusiastic those who have been accepted into the forsakens are to instill the old tenets of the Western Brotherhood into the members of the Brotherhood, even Elder Maxson is difficult to stop this, if it weren't for some of the ideas Zhang Lin put forward before, it is estimated that the Dans he sees now is already a corpse on the experimental table.
"The root cause of all this is caused by the Academy, as long as the production of synths is stopped, and you are still qualified to live." Zhang Lin continued to persuade, "Moreover, you see how much Miss Helen cares about you, how sad she will be if you choose to die like this." ”
Bachelor Helen, who was moved out by Zhang Lin, nodded to the side, Danse fell into deep thought, and Zhang Lin turned to leave, leaving the space for the two of them.
On the other side, Deacon was sitting in front of a terminal computer, looking through the records inside, when Elder Maxson came over with a cup of hot water and was stunned to see the person sitting in his place.
"Who are you? I don't think you're on board the Pridwin. Elder Maxson moved his hand to the holster at his waist, and if Deacon didn't give a satisfactory answer, he would pull it out immediately.
"The little boy has matured, and Lyons and Sarah's education doesn't seem to have failed, but I still don't like you very much." Aegon tapped on the keyboard and looked at what was recorded on the monitor, "A lot of old friends are gone, but it looks like the new guy has brought you a lot of changes." ”
"You ......" Maxson's face changed abruptly, and the various information revealed from Diagen's words made him guess Diagen's identity, "Since you left, why are you coming back now?" ”
"Elder Lyons and Sarah are dead, and if I don't leave, will I wait for the forsakens to kill me too? 101 Shelter, even my last concern was ruined by them! That's why I hate your way of readmitting them, and they're going to ruin everything Elder Lyons has worked so hard for. Although Digon said it in a somewhat heavy tone, he also revealed a very important secret.
At this time, Maxson's face suddenly turned a little pale again: "I know, but I have no choice, if I don't accept them, our Eastern Brotherhood may really become history, in that case, Elder Lyons's hard work will really be nothing." ”
"Yes, you've done a good job as a leader, but what are you going to do now? Continuing the old ways of the Brotherhood and bringing new wars to the land? "Ever since I left, I've been thinking about the Brotherhood's problems, and to be honest, while the Brotherhood is collecting wasteland technology and saving the planet, it seems to me that the Brotherhood represents a group of interests that are not the people of the wasteland, but the members of the Brotherhood themselves, and at the end of the day, the Brotherhood is still a selfish and blind organization." ”
"What you said is very similar to that newcomer named Zhang Lin......" Maxson thought about what Deegon said, "In less than half a month, many members of the Brotherhood have questioned this action, even me. ”
After all, Maxson is still very young, far-sighted, and has good ability, but to a large extent, it is the cult of personality that the higher-ups of the Brotherhood deliberately set up around him, so that the members of the Brotherhood below do not question his orders at all, but when he himself begins to have doubts, his flaws are exposed, he can lead the soldiers to charge into battle, that is, he is good at fighting, but he is not good at construction.
"Can you help me?" Maxson looked at Deacon like an elder asking for help.
"That's exactly what I'm here to see you for, I originally wanted to use the railroad to change the Federation, but the railroad became more and more extreme in the way of saving synths, and Desdemona's hatred of the academy made her a little overwhelmed, and many things were made worse and worse." Although Diagon is now a member of the railroad, he is obviously not like the others, he sees it more thoroughly, "That Mr. Zhang has persuaded Desdemona to meet with you, I hope this time the railroad and the brotherhood can make a difference, we can't afford too many wars......"
"Yo, doesn't it mean that the war has never changed?" Zhang Lin's voice came from outside the door, "It seems that I guessed correctly, you really know each other, and the rest of the matter is easy to handle." ”
"Although I saw Mr. Zhang coming out of Vault 111 at the time, my gut tells me that you are not from Vault." Di Geng looked at Zhang Lin at the door and said seriously.
"You guessed it, because I'm not from this world, and of course, I'm not an alien like the Zetas.
This time, both Deacon and Maxson were surprised, and the answer was clearly outside their predictions.
(There are many coincidences and easter eggs in the game about Deacon being the third-generation protagonist.) )
