The water was still hot even after he waited for nightfall since that Courser that was supposed to meet him never showed up he planned. Earlier in the day once he reached the ruined water castle as he liked to call it he scooped out the place. Too many well equipped raiders walking around between the boats and rafts they all built he be killed going straight in. But on the very building that Gabriel was on? He could see eight of them.
And on the very top of it was the man himself. Tall brown haired and a bit bulky was him. What he could see was four others with him. After Gabriel himself it would be thirteen inside that floating wooden shit-stain.
Moving around the area he saw the wooden thing was built leaning on some ruined ship he knew nothing about besides it being big. Not like he was in the navy after all. He was glad he left his backpack at the Institute only taking his 10mm handgun, laser rifle and gauss rifle it was easier to swim in the water without being weighed down with a hundred pounds worth of supplies.
Once he reached the boat that the castle was using as support he climbed the ruined hull two hundred years had made it riddled with holes and dented metal he can use to climb up. Once he reached the wooden walls of the castle he climbed slower nervous that the raiders could hear him moving up. Nothing he continued to move once he reached the railing with a single arm he hauled himself over his feet landing making the slightest noise drowned out by the firing of a gun farther from his position
Taking his 10mm out he aimed forward and stopped. The two raiders weren't aiming at him. The both of them were near the plank shooting into the distance. Thank God for the lack of ear protection the two had.
"Would you stop that? The damn noise is killing my ears I'm now hearing ringing all damn day because of you shat!" The raider near the seat said annoyed.
"The more you shoot a gun the stronger your ears get Terry, so no I'm not stopping! If you don't want hear it stuff some cloth in your ears!" Considering his yelling at near volume of a speaker the man near the railing doubted the raiders words.
"For gods sacks you cant even hear yourself anymore do you? I'm tired of this wake me when are shift is over." The raider leaned back into his seat stuffing some cloth into his ears to drown out some of the noise from his idiot partner. It barely helped.
The man near the railing breathed out in relief he wasn't caught and was slightly amused do to the two's conversation. It reminded him of that one grenade thrower guy.
The man moved forward taking his steps slow he aimed the 10mm at the head of the man sitting down waiting for the one standing to shoot he was going to have to time it not near perfection but close enough for his suppressed handgun.
"Whatever! Jackass!" The raider moved his arms in the movement one would have with loading a bolt action rifle bringing it back to bear he aimed and fired in the distance unaware of the slight movement of his friend next to him. Reloading his rifle once more he was going to take aim again until two strong hands wrenched his head around and he stared at a scarred man covered in combat armor before he was lowered to the floor face down.
The man checked the bodies of both men finding nothing but ammo for guns he didn't use, though he did take the rifle of that one raider his gauss rifle didn't have a recon scoop after all.
Walking to the hatch he slowly open it and made his way down the ladder taking great care to be as quiet as possible. Once he reached the floor looked around the room to the left had two raiders sleeping if the snores was anything to go by. In the other he peeked around the wall and saw Gabriel sleeping on his back. He went to the other two raiders and slit their throats but decided not check for supplies. He wanted to finish this mission as fast as possible now that the target was right there.
Going back to Gabriel he grabbed some rope laying around prepare to tie him up until a power fist hit him in the chest sending him flying across the room and into the terminal on the desk braking both.
"Ha though you can sneak up on me you bastard! Take that! Wait what?" Gabriel was shocked that the man in combat armor stood back up and charged at him even with his ruined chest plate the only thing to show he was even hit.
Gabriel throw a punch that the man dodged grabbed his arm and throw Gabriel over his shoulder his back painfully meeting with the floorboards the man in armor quickly reached over to Gabriel's power fisted hand and pulled the sickening noise of bones grinding caused Gabriel to screaming in pain and trash doing more harm then good for his dislocated arm.
The man annoyed with all the noise he was causing placed one of his feet on the others working arm keeping it in place he lowered down his hands grabbing Gabriel's throat and squeezed even with the others continued trashing of his legs slamming on the floorboards he squeezed until the raiders boss slowed down his movements even with his trashing stopped he squeezed his throat some more just in case he was faking.
Finally satisfied he grabbed the rope that flew from his hands and tied up Gabriel. Looking at his pip-boy he turned to the new addition he had that was placed by Doctor Lee he pressed it and before he disappeared grabbed Gabriel and the both left the room in a bright blue light.
When his vision cleared he saw the metal panels of the relay the only thing that was off was the fact Shaun and Dr. Lee were talking with a few scientist that he thinks were part of the Advance systems division. He wasn't fully sure he spent less then a week in the Institute he didn't really try to remember all of them. The raider Gabriel seem to have been shocked wake was it because of the teleport?
Oh well the man let go of his leg and before Gab could really start to struggle he grabbed the back of his head and harshly slammed his face into the metal floor Gabriel going slack showed he was knocked back into unconsciousness. He looked back still seeing them talking as if what he did wasn't even heard by them. He simply walked towards them.
The group of them turned in shock eyes wide when they notice he was standing in front of the control panel one hand tapping the metal his face stoic but eyes that had a hint of amusement with there reaction. "Hi." Shaun whispered some words to Dr. Lee before walking around the panel to talk.
"Father I'm glad to see you came back without issues an-." Shaun was saying before his voice stopped starring at the ruined chest that adorned his torso his eyes now looking over his body only noticing how wet his father was.
"Father why don't we talk after Dr. Volker has looked you over. Don't worry about B5-92 X2-68 Will take him back to the SRD." Shaun voiced the man now handing Gabriel to the courser who had walked up to the two of them when Shaun mentioned his name. His hands free the man walked with his son to the elevator only when the door sealed shut did Shaun asked his questions.
"Tell me father what happened to your armor? It's damaged quite extensively." Shaun asked his curiosity poking his mind such damage would have reached his ribs either cracks at best or broken in two at worst. But here he was standing and walking, breathing without any issues as if such damage never happened or it didn't bother him. His father looked at him possibly thinking on what he was going to say before it left his lips.
"I sneaked on inside the water fort and killed two raiders inside, I was careless didn't double check and Gabriel sneaked up on me. As you can see he hit me quite hard but, it doesn't really hurt just looks bad is all don't worry what I'm more interested in is what we're you doing? I didn't expect to see you at the relay I thought I would find you in your room going over all those reports you get all day." His father waved off the damage and hit to his chest as if it didn't mean much to him he would rather hear what Shaun himself was doing.
He had his answers but he wasn't sure he liked how he just… waved the damage away. Didn't care about his own well being and would rather hear what he was doing. Shaun was surprised he felt this way worry about one person then just everyone. Then again this was his father. A man he had thoughts on meeting but he was such a distance figure Shaun believed he would never have the chance to see him. It was still so surreal.
Once they reached the bottom the both of them were shown the beauty of the Institute clean running water smooth white surfaces the people that were still awake were those who were still up either going back and forth delivering documents or up in balconies simply relaxing with smokes and scotch late in night with the children tucked away sleeping.
It was strange to Nate. Even diamond city wasn't so peaceful with the noise of guns going off all day the walls attacked by supermutants when they were bored or raiders so high on chems would try to attack on board day light even the people inside always jumpy about synths replacing someone that Nate can see the fear in people.
Before he knew it the both of them were in the medical area it only having two nurses and a single doctor checking equipment with only five people here for whatever reason. Shaun asked for Dr. Volker knowing how the man was like he was no doubt still awake going over medical reports he was given throughout the day. And the man walked out of a room the only thing showing the late night getting to him was a cup of coffee.
Nate hated coffee. Nora drinks it all the time like water. Once he gets the chance he visit her again at sanctuary she's been waiting a long time for a visit.
Dr. Volker had them go to one of the private rooms for his check up something Nate was sure he didn't really need. He was fine after all.
"Nate if you would take off your armor I need to check your torso for any injures." Dr. Volker said politely like any medical professional would.
Nate put his weapons to the side no longer needing to wear them he moved the combat armor straps released buckles opened and the brotherhood undersuit unzipped. Dr. Volker checked his torso his back and had him do a stretch once everything was over Dr. Volker declared him healthy with only light bruising he said Nate should get some rest for a few days to recover.
That finished the father and son left the medical room giving Dr. Volker thanks for his time the both of them left going to the direction of Shaun's room where the both of them can talk in more detail on what happened on the surface.
Finally at their destination the two took a seat at the balcony with Nate starting the conversation before Shaun could say anything.
"Hey Shaun so what happened to that courser that was supposed to meet me on top? He wasn't needed mind you but I kind of needed that recall code." Nate shrugged his shoulders the last part not really bothering him. He got Gab back to the Institute without the codes anyway a bit hurt but whole and not dead. Like he should have killed him the filthy raider that the synth became.
"Yes." Shaun paused thinking how he can explain the situation the ASD was trying to solve with their damaged relay after that accident with the water cup. It was embarrassing that the one invention greater then the gen 3 synths could ever be was brought low by a little spilled water. Instant teleportation beaten by water. Pathetic.
"Before you left a courser was sent out to meet you outside Libertalia, once he reached the relay their was some students with older scientist looking over the relay for its daily maintenance check. Once X6-88 was given the all clear to leave one of the students spilled his drinking cup he knew he wasn't supposed to bring braking safety measures. The water going into some exposed circuitry caused a malfunction in the system sending X6-88 somewhere else. Where to we don't know. But we have the new coordinates the relay made when it was damaged and have since send watchers to scout the area."
Here Shaun paused letting his father take in the information on what's happing inside the Institute.
Nate was actually scared, hell he used the damn thing a half hour ago! No wondered they were all surprised to see him he could have been teleported to anywhere but the Institute for goodness sake. Hell he could have merged with Gabriel there matter combining together to one single flesh bag monster that shoot lasers from its eyes.
That actually sounds cool. The laser eyes not the flesh bag monster thing no one ever wants to be that.
"So the surprise in seeing me wasn't just because I sneaked up on y'all its because there's a chance I wouldn't have come back at all." Nate said his voice had quite worry in it the thought of not seeing Shaun, Nora or Codsworth for an unknown amount of time because the relay was messed up had a painful feeling in his chest. Or he might never seen them again.
"No father we still have the new coordinates as I said it just would have taken us longer to get you and the courser back if the both of you went to the same area. As of now we have taken much test within the last few hours sending in unimportant objects to gen one synths they have always come back in one piece. The watchers the few we sent have come as well through each group seems to end up somewhere else even if the coordinates never change." Shaun said and the images that were brought back were interesting. And worrying.
Nate's curiosity was piped where did the courser go to? It didn't seem like this X6-88 was at Massachusetts at all, Shaun did tell him that some synth would end up as far as New York to take back to the Institute. He asked.
"What did the watchers find at the new coordinates? Can't be anything to different right?"
"That's the issue father what we do see is very much new. It's been two hundred years since the bombs dropped and vegetation is coming slower but it's growing. The images we found seem to indicate that the radiation has accelerated plant growth trees so large they wrap around ruined buildings miles of thick forest with large pre-war animals. Some in the BSD think there's never been radiation or signs of human presence to allow this much growth. So the area X6-88 is in is very different then here. Some scientist think he could be in the Midwest of America others think in a different continent.
Well. That's new super giant plants larger then average animals running around and a ruined city of concrete. Fun. Nate thought to himself thinking what all the people in BSD are going through with this new information. Though he be honest most of the implications are kind of going over his head he will probably never understand the science behind it all, he went to school for his gunsmith certification not this. So he asked the most important question.
"Is it safe to use the relay on different coordinates or will y'all keep it locked down for testing?" Honestly with the reaction they had on seeing him it will be locked down. The whole moving matter from one spot to another is a big deal. Before the war this type of science was just purely science fiction but now it was a reality. All it took was nuclear holocaust.
"Yes the ASD will be running more test for a couple days once they deem it safe only then will surface operations continue. And then the retrieval of courser X6-88 will begin." Nate wondered if he be the one to go after the synth more then likely he will, after all even Nate can tell he was being tested. Happy to find his son but it didn't mean he was blind to most of what Shaun was doing.
Pushing the thoughts away he leaned back into his seat relaxing he glanced at his heavy combat armor knowing he need to get it fixed before looking over his weapons. Looking back at Shaun he spoke.
"So Shaun pushing that whole relay thing aside I got question ask you." Shaun looked at him.
"Go ahead father what is it that you need?"
"How did you went from studying agriculture to robotics? What are those test like?" Nate can guess the test were stupidly difficult he had a brief conversation about energy weapons with a woman in the ASD she was thinking about 3 to 5 weapon schematics in her head at the same time? He hated the fact it wasn't the craziest thing he's heard.
Shaun smiled going over the interest he had in pre-war flowers and trees before he really understood the gen 3 project and how much it depended on his own DNA and brain development that he took it more seriously changing form the bio division to the robotics. Nate listened and wished he was part of his sons younger life but what he could he do? Now he can only listen and imagine.
X6-88 realized after doing an unnecessary amount of back tracking turning and more then once he had to push the truck out of mud getting his uniform dirty and boots mudded and ugly he made the good choice of getting the truck he was able to avoid the animals near by didn't have to use much of his own energy to move around and the truck had a few crates of what he didn't know but since it was at a battle field it more then likely had guns or ammo needed for the resistance members.
Like he thought he cut the hours needed to reach the village of pacifist robots he stopped the truck in the head of a large tree he looked over the map once more the sewer gate had to be another half hour of driving X6-88 put the truck back to drive and finally reached the sewer gate. Getting out he went to the back of the truck wanting to check his supplies before moving on.
He found a backpack knowing he need the extra room he took the desert camo pack opening it up he saw was filled with useless junk. Books worn pictures and lockets the different pair of clothing caught his attention. He dumped it all out.
Throwing aside the random junk he looked over the clothing. The shirt might be a bit tight the pants loose but the gloves fit, seeing this he changed his courser outfit might be remembered by those androids so changing clothes was a good idea even if he didn't want to wear the clothing. Besides all courser's knew each other's faces even if he had different clothing he be spotted easily all they really had to do was follow his signal.
Taking off the uniform he took in his new clothing, itchy and uncomfortable though no one would know without cracking his head open, he slipped on a ammo vest placing four more magazines before folding up his uniform and placing it in the bag along with his Institute handgun and Cells. He looked like any other resistance fighter X6-88 thought to himself with disdain. He went back to checking the truck.
He took a rather large handgun he's never seen before but recognize the handgun caliber as being good for hunting large game he took two magazines. A pump action shotgun with forty eight shells and two grenades while there was more items inside he took only a few more explosives and other little things before moving on. Jumping out of the back of the truck X6-88 went to the drivers seat and driven the truck a good mile away before leaving it next to a random building and backtracked his way to the sewer gate.
Pulling the Map out once more to make sure he was going the right way now making sure to commit it to memory he folded it up and climb down the ladder as he was going further down the place became considerately more darker as he went down once he reached the ground X6-88 was glad the smell of raw sewage was gone instead replaced with total darkness that his enhanced eyesight was worthless.
Joy.
He took a flashlight out turning it on he clipped it to his belt now with some light X6-88 could move on into unknown territory. He loaded his shotgun and walked. The excitement of walking around the sewers was something X6-88 wouldn't want anyone to face. It was mind numbing painful just looking for the exit only thing that kept him company was the rats scurrying around in the dark with the rare possum both bags of disease larger then average so large in fact the animals had the courage to attack him. One kick to the face that sent one the heads flying off was more then enough to keep the rest away.
He checked the time of his PIT(portable institute tablet) saw he's been walking around for an hour and a half. He looked up at the ceiling and saw not far ahead of him was a ladder out of this place he jogged to it and quickly rushed his way up he pushed on the manhole cover and climbed out. The sheer number of trees was an interesting sight. So much that it nearly kept the sunlight from reaching the ground making the forest seem darker then it really was. A amusement park should be near by whatever that was all X6-88 knew it was big and had a lot of junk around. He would have to cut straight through it another hour of walking and finally he be at the robot camp.
X6-88 walked seeing only large trees around him. This place is very different then the commonwealth throw X6-88 in the glowing sea and he know what to expect. Middle of Boston. Even the Brotherhoods little ship he can tear it apart once he or any courser could get inside. Just a big blimp.
Here he had no experience no data no anything as far as X6-88 knows he could be stalked by something that's been living here its entire life bringing down androids and robots alike only a real predator could hide its presence from its prey. So all X6-88 could do was listen and watch the treetops in case of ambushes.
He stopped a large robot had crashed into a tree ahead of him not wanting to do anything with that he hid in the bush watching the robot as it picked itself up or at least it would have if one of those YoRHa androids didn't run out between the trees stabbing its leg violently then harshly pulling it out followed along with slamming a wide large blade into its round head when it fell complete destroying it.
X6-88 looked this one over and notice it was nearly naked and hair far to long. Even raiders dressed more then it but he wondered if it's because that's how it was design or personal preference after all X1-45 liked his purple scarf and even X6-88 preferred his sunglass then working without them. Then again courser's didn't walk around nearly nude like degenerate perverts.
The android instead of leaving start to rip it open taking out random parts why X6-88 didn't know but he could wait patience was something (some) courser's had an abundance of, X6-88 was one of them.
It either knew X6-88 was here or a damn idiot with how much it kept breaking the parts it pulled either dropping it on the ground or in a rage throw at the trees but it eventually left taking a handful of scrap before those disappeared in a flash of light similar to the color of those 'runes' it had that kept its weapon floating. After all it shouldn't take this long even the Institute androids could take apart delicate machinery without much issue. X6-88 was glad it left even if it did take longer then he liked.
Stepping out of the bush he walked closer to the machine. X6-88 reached the ruined robot this one was similar to the others he saw the same rusty brown color and round head. But why was the head round? Did it mean anything? He reached over to its face and pulled the metal surface off, and wished he hadn't.
Underneath its face was a metal skull round with eyes but it had a mouth in a twisted grin the metal had a coat of paint that has long faded but made it seem even more ugly. Knowing he found something he wished he hadn't he placed the face back on and left without looking back.
He really didn't want to fight a robot without its face.
X6-88 eventually found his way to an amusement park and honestly now he knew why the map was given to him for free it was outdated terribly so. The entrance alone was packed with robots some so small they only reached his knees others towered over him by five feet or simply flew in the air. Had counted more then a hundred at the entrance or outside lingering around and talking to each other he saw a few with green eyes but mostly all of them were yellow.
"I always loved socializing." X6-88 said to himself dryly. What should be do? Go all the way around the park or go straight throw it all? Before he could think more on the subject he spotted two androids near the entrance talking to a large robot with painted overalls on its chassis the two were very similar twins actually if androids could be twins. Hair and pants with the same color of red white shirt open in one side.
Weren't androids and the robots enemies? So why were two talking with one as if it was completely normal? He saw supplies being traded what he didn't know was that why? Trading supplies with each other because the other couldn't make it themselves but some one else can? Had to be. Seeing the conversation coming to a close he needed directions he talk to the two twin models and if they didn't have anything for him then he leave for one of the other robots in the park. They all must be passive if this exchange can happen right at the entrance. X6-88 infiltration might be a bit rusty but he remembered.
Walking out of the bushes he took off his sunglasses and relaxed his facial expression into a friendly smile that reached his eyes his body becoming less tense and more open air to it. He was ready. Walking closer to them and past the robots he saw one of them turn to him with unkempt hair, she whispered something to her sister with straight hair both facing him tense for what James didn't know after all wasn't he another friendly resistance android fighting the bad robots? Why the distrust? He meant no harm. He stopped a respectable distance away from them both and spoke.
"Hello ladies nice to meet you two I'm James a new member of the RC at the city. Sorry to bother you two since it seems your on an errand but I'm a bit lost and need direction can you spare some time? If not that's fine." Nice and friendly. But looking at their obviously to clean and smooth faces that lacked the details of a gen 3 or institute gen 2 android he saw confusion on their faces bodies still tense but not quite as much.
"Hello James I'm Popola."
"I'm Devola."
"We can give you some directions if we know where your going exactly. We can spare some time." Popola said to James politely but distance. James didn't understand what s wrong with them. Oh well so long as he gets directions then it didn't matter.
"So the place I'm looking for is that village of pacifist robots Timmy sent me here says something interesting near by got permission from Anemone to let me out and check it. Know the place?" James didn't know what reactions he would get from the two would they believe him or call him out on his lie. After all James didn't know what was going on in the camp Timmy could be some random android that sells stuff who didn't get into touch with Anemone. But maybe the two didn't care.
The both of them explained to him he just had to ask one of the green eyed machines where to go since the pair have yet to personally see the village themselves. James thanked them both and walked off into the park looking for green eyed machines.
"Popola you really think he was a RM? He didn't treated us like complete shit even after hearing are name's." Popola didn't know but she really didn't care after all the man didn't seem he had any ill-intent at them both if he did wouldn't he have just attacked since no one was around to help them? Not the first time to happen. And when was the last time anyone was that polite to the both of them anyway?
"No I don't Devola but what was the harm in telling him? Besides that didn't he looked strange to you? The unnecessary amount of detail that was on his skin was strange to see. Kind of reminder me of the books that talked about human skin care." Devola did notice his skin and the detail. Wherever he was made put so much work into making him look human she felt jealous of the closeness he might unknowing share with their creators. How his chest would slightly expand in and out the small red veins of his eyes the moisture she can see in them. The more she thought about it the more pain she felt inside her head.
She gripped her chest and looked at Popola "Let's go we have to bring these filters to the camp. Maybe Rock isn't on guard duty when we get there." Popola hoped he wasn't he was the most annoying one in the camp.
X6-88 slipped his glasses back on his face once more stoic, cold and posture straight the once friendly air he had disappeared and replaced with nothing. X6-88 looked around the place filled with robots, so many in fact if they all attacked him he wouldn't be able to get out. All he had to do was find one robot with green eyes, get the directions or follow it and he find the village. X6-88 could stay here but he didn't know how these robots would react. The village was known for its pacifism the park he didn't know anything.
He find one painted in green unlike the rest dressed as clowns from pre-war times. A flyer it was flying in the air simply going back and forth not doing much he wondered if the program it had was to make it peaceful or simply gotten like that over time.
The RD seen it happen with robots that had AI's more advance then average or they simply never change from their programming. If it's because the robots couldn't or didn't want to because pre-war robots couldn't comprehend the current state of the world, so they followed their pre-war orders in their own form of coping to deal with the robotic trauma was an argument that the scientist had in the division or at least that's what X6-34 said to him.
Honestly through sometimes X6-34 made things more dramatic then it seems. X6-88 blamed that collection of pre-war TV shows he had. And his weird way of speaking. But it didn't matter he find one.
It turned to him once X6-88 was close enough and stared waiting for him to start the conversation. He obliged.
"Robot I'm looking for the village of pacifist robots I need directions or a guide to reach it." The machine looked at him blankly before it reply with a male voice module.
"I be happy to show you the village but I'm on a quest to slay a machine that's been causing trouble for the village." It paused. " Would you help me? While I want to slay the mad one I'm afraid I simply won't be enough Pascal the kind machine he is, doesn't want us to fight back but I simply can't fly idle when that thing causes trouble for us all. So I ask would you help? If not that's fine but I can't guarantee I be back."
X6-88 thought about it. He didn't have to help it but if he did X6-88 would look much more positive once the two of them go to the village possibly be allowed in that village indefinitely through with how things are looking he will increase his stay there. Longer then a week. Better to stay in one spot for easy recover instead of wandering around in unknown territory. The sun has yet to move.
"I will help you but we better get to the village soon after." X6-88 told it his voice just as cold as his face. He seen the robots at the battle in the border so X6-88 was confident he can destroy a simple robot with bad programming. He had nothing to worry about. The robot flew around him it's voice now more positive then before.
"Thank you! With an androids help the mad ones fall is guaranteed! Come she hides in the castle with a heart in the middle. We don't have to worry about these guys walking around so long as you don't attack them. Onward! Oh my name is Fred. What is yours?"
"James."
"James let us go onward! Today the mad one shall fall!" and it flew off with surprising speed but X6-88 just jogged after it slipping past the robots he kept it in his sights. He checked his shotgun before looking at the rifle seeing both were ready he focused on the robot flying ahead. Unaware of the fight ahead.

Ch.2 of HS&A. Leave a review good or bad.
To Rage- thanks!
To Lord of Moons- don't worry the pods can't tell the difference between regular humans and synths I just mean that they will be able to tell of a foreign object in a synths head. I did messed up on the whole eating and drinking thing I could maybe pass that with regular synths but not courser's. Going to fix that later. I personally see the X,Z series of synths to be made specifically to be courser's made with increase physical ability then improved with training not through implants. But I like the idea. The whole can see combat in slow motion to even time stopping is something with courser's but it's still being tested on a few of them X6-88 is not one of those testers and it won't be finished anytime soon. Though there might be one with that upgrade that can show up in the story. If I get that far. When it comes to YoRHa androids in terms of speed and reflexes the courser's can definitely keep up. Until they start the whole throwing swords crap around that be a issue in close combat. Terms of strength YoRHa androids hands down, durability androids win. A one on one fight between a courser and B unit of YoRHa will almost always go to the B's if its melee unless the courser has a damn good melee weapon, but courser's fight better in range combat so long as a courser doesn't physically throw hands with B units they can win and start stacking bodies with tactics. If YoRHa do end up in the wasteland it would be better to end up in fallout 1 after the Masters destruction or fallout 3 after project purity starts. A lot of room to look nice in both endings if they help with rebuilding. If they show up in the beginning or middle it just be cold distrust.
