Rose followed Willhelm up the stairs. She said nothing and tried to stay out of the line of sight of the bots. When Wilhelm got to the top of the stairs, a floating Mr. Handy bot floated towards him. It spoke in its characteristically happy tone, "Greeting, Glourious American Soldier. We have not been visited by an official representative of our Glorious America for some time. You are overdue for the annual inspection by 243 years. Please provide Identification Passcode."

Rose watched as the Mr. Handy approach Willhelm through the scope of her rifle. The thought of shooting Wilhelm in the back did accure to her. If He was not a member of the brotherhood, she should eliminate him to keep the tech of power armor from spreading to the rest of the wastes. For now, she needed him. She took aim at the Mr. Handy.
