[Beginning Recording]

Unknown Voice Speaking
Hello?... Huh? Would you look at that? It's recording everything I say… This is Asp-No! KNIGHT Brian Fisher speaking!

*Echoing steps get closer*

Unknown Voice Speaking
Fisher! There you are! Paladin Stock is about to give us our first Liberty Briefing, and the whole unit is gathering in the chow hall!

Knight Fisher Speaking
Dammit! Give me a second, Dani!... You Scribes always this up tight?

Scribe "Dani" Speaking
Yes, and don't call me "Dani" You know Sergeant or one of the Paladins will whip you if they hear us calling each other by first name… What is that thing by the way?

Knight Fisher Speaking
It's just some recorder thing that Proctor Teagan gave me for getting him that bottle of whiskey. I think this is the thing that got Knight Harris chewed out last week. Here, take it, "Scribe Dani Waldron" Haha!

[10 Seconds Pass]

*Distant voices and rustling sounds increase in volume*

Scribe Waldron Speaking
Hurry up, man!

Knight Fisher Speaking
Fuck! I'm ready! Let's go.

[Recording skips 1 minute and 28 seconds]

*Indistinct voices loud*

[Device unable to transcribe]

*Voices volume lowered*

Scribe Waldron Speaking
Oh, here's your thing back.

Knight Fisher Speaking
Thanks… Why do we even have to be here for this? We heard the same Liberty Briefing a thousand times.

Scribe Waldron Speaking
Well, yeah? That's protocol? Plus, you gotta keep telling the Initiates how to conduct themselves on Libo or they'll get themselves killed… Was hoping your promotion to Knight would give you a bit more maturity, so you better listen as well.

Knight Fisher Speaking
I'm mature as I need to be. These briefings still seem like a waste of time… You know what I mean: Tell Initiates and Aspirants not to do something, and they'll do it anyway if they're stupid enough…

Scribe Waldron Speaking
You mean if you're stupid enough? Listen to you talk, Haha! You were only an Aspirant longer than most… Plus, this is our first Libo Briefing since showing up in the Commonwealth.

Knight Fisher Speaking
You're right about that last part, but screw you! I earned my rank. So, I think I earned the right to talk a little-

Unknown Voice Speaking
Good Evening Brothers!

Scribe Waldron/Knight Fisher/Other Indistinct Voices Speaking
Good Evening Paladin Stock!

Paladin Stock Speaking
You all are probably ready for some God Damned well-earned Liberty? Is that right!?

Scribe Waldron/Knight Fisher/Other Indistinct Voices Speaking
YES SIR!

Paladin Stock Speaking
Me too, but you know the drill. We got some business to cover.

*Crowd groans, then stops instantly*

Paladin Stock Speaking
Shut up, now!... Alright. This is the first Libo Briefing I've given since we got here in the Commonwealth. So, shit's a bit different now that we're in hostile territory.

[10 silent seconds pass]

Paladin Stock Speaking
First off, I wanna say congratulations to all on this successful trip from the Capital Wastes. We've made great progress and seen nothing but victories in our short time here-

*Crowd cheers*

Paladin Stock Speaking
Shut it!... Anyway, I know things been relatively slow as of late, and recon missions been scattered, but there's a plan in the works. I also know a lot of you are pissed off that there was no sign up for the Fort Strong Mission, but Paladin Danse was leading a precision strike team with the aid of our new Commonwealth native guide… What is it Knight Kitts?

Knight Kitts Speaking
Are we able to stay here on Libo? Or is leaving mandatory? Not sure if I wanna associate with Commonwealth trash!

*Indistinct murmured agreement*

Paladin Stock Speaking
I'm getting to that Dammit! But no, you don't have to take advantage of the Libo boundaries. You all are more than welcome to stay aboard the Prydwen, or head below. There'll also be flights to our Cambridge Outpost if you're looking for a change of scenery while staying useful. Although the Assault and Recon Mission signup sheets are full, there are still plenty of openings for Squire mentorship assignments, and work in the garage that needs doing if you're inclined. Also, Logistics still needs hands for the last of that equipment from Fort Strong…

Unknown Voice Speaking
What are the Libo boundaries if we need a break?

Paladin Stock Speaking
I know you're probably spent from that assault on Jamaica Plain, but… SHUT UP! I'm getting to it! So, once this briefing is over; Knights, Scribes, and Aspirants are authorized to visit Diamond City and Goodneighbor. All other settlements are deemed too dangerous at the moment. You all know that this Liberty period is only two days, so you know to report back in by 5pm on Sunday…

Unknown Voice Speaking
Why did the Elder authorize this Libo period, Paladin?

Paladin Stock Speaking
Swear to God; next person who interrupts me is getting thrown off the flight deck!... Now, as you all know; strike teams are the only ones conducting missions right now, and our Prime teams are busy trying to put the big boy back together. So, there's a backlog of troops aboard the Prydwen on standby. Putting it simply: You all are unnecessary until we find a way into the Institute, and there aren't enough things to do right now for everyone. Until things heat up, and they will, believe me; Liberty will be authorized every five days…

*Crowd chattering*

Paladin Stock Speaking
Alright! In conclusion, if you decide to visit those Commonwealth Settlements, remember my usual rules: Don't kill anyone that shouldn't be killed. Don't drink and man the door gun. Don't put your dick in anything that doesn't want your dick in it… Knight Captain Cade says that last rule applies to both humans and animals!...

*Crowd laughing*

Paladin Stock Speaking
Also, abide by whatever rules the settlements have. Don't go anywhere alone. Finally, report any potential tech you find to one of the Proctors, or your CO… Alright! You're free till Sunday!

*Crowd disperses, chattering intensifies, then halts instantly*

Paladin Stock Speaking
One last thing! Be sure to welcome Paladin Brandis back if you see him. The man's been through a lot! Ok, fail to report in by five and you'll wish you hadn't! You all are dismissed! Enjoy your Liberty.

*Indistinct chattering resumes*

Knight Fisher Speaking
Did you wanna go to one of those settlements? Or just find a way to stay busy here?

Scribe Waldron Speaking
You just made Knight after Jamaica Plain, right?

Knight Fisher Speaking
Yeah?... Last damned mission I'll be going on this whole campaign if things stay stagnant the way they have. You seen the Corkboard recently?-

Scribe Waldron Speaking
I have. But, I was thinking we should… I don't know… Find a place to celebrate?...

Knight Fisher Speaking
What were you thinking?

Scribe Waldron Speaking
I don't know… Read a scout report saying that "Goodneighbor" place seemed interesting.

Knight Fisher Speaking
I'm down. Let's catch the first ride out of here. Don't think the flights into Boston should be too packed. Sounds like most of the unit is going to be staying aboard or heading below.

Scribe Waldron Speaking
Perfect! Let's see?... I don't have too many caps on me. What about you?

Knight Fisher Speaking
Broke already? We just got paid a few days ago? Haha! But, yeah I got a few. A couple extra actually from a dead waster outside Jamaica Plain. Poor sap also had a strange flier on him-

Scribe Waldron Speaking
Perfect, but yes I'm a bit broke. Spent some extra caps on some makeup from an Aspiran-

*Echoing footsteps get louder*

Scribe Waldron/Knight Fisher Speaking
Welcome back, Paladin Brandis. Ad Victoriam.

[6 seconds pass]

*Echoing footsteps fade away*

Scribe Waldron Speaking
No greeting?... You see that look in his eyes?

Knight Fisher Speaking
Can't imagine what he's been through the past few years… Anyway, "makeup" huh?... You're such a girly girl, Haha!

Scribe Waldron Speaking
Shut up! Haha!

[7 awkward seconds pass]

Knight Fisher Speaking
Wanna go check out that big machine thing they're working on in the cleared section down below? Maybe also take a look at the progress on Liberty Prime?

Scribe Waldron Speaking
Sure. We got some time to kill before that flight into Boston.

Knight Fisher Speaking
Alright, let's go… I think I got my caps on me.

*Rustling and jingling sounds*

Knight Fisher Speaking
Caps… Check… Aw, Dammit!

Scribe Waldron Speaking
What's the matter?

Knight Fisher Speaking
This Damned recorder was on the whole time… Here we go… and…

[Recording Ended]

Legacy: Knight Brian Fisher was reportedly killed on 11-21-2287 in Commonwealth settlement designation "Goodneighbor" according to a firsthand account from Scribe Daniella Waldron. New reports indicate settlement to be hostile and anarchic. Knight Brian Fisher's death led to strict enforcement of regulations regarding unsanctioned fraternization with Commonwealth natives. Goodneighbor is currently designated as "Off Limits", and East Coast Brotherhood Command is currently considering possible plans of action against the settlement.

*Made this because I was thinking about "Libo Briefings" in the Marines and got inspiration about what Not to do during Libo Lol. Hope yall enjoyed this dumbass bit of nostalgia for me. Haha*
