“We can talk perfectly fine like this.” James said as he gently pushed (so not to cut... just yet) the combat knife against Bishop Throat “think of it as an extra execrative to tell the truth.”[/i]

"The longer you stand here with a knife to my throat, the more likely it is someone will see us," Bishop said matter-of-factly, "And I don't want to draw the attention of the locals any more than you do I'm sure. So its in both our interests if you lower the knife. Keep it handy if you want I'm not going to try anything. You got the drop on me...but just lower it so we can talk. Okay?"

[i]“Now what exactly can you do to help me?”[/i]

"If you are what I think you are. Then you're a Synth whose likely going through memory relapse. That might be hard to hear, but its the truth. And if that's the case there's a couple possibilities. Either you're one of our former escapees, and your memory wipe is starting to wear off...in which case I can help with that. Or you're an Institute Synth that is malfunctioning. And if The Institute learns you're malfunctioning...then a Courser isn't far behind. And you don't want one of those on your trail...or in this town for that matter. Trust me."

"Me and my partner can give you shelter, supplies and try to get your memory problems under control so you stop having the flashes and visions. Then, when we leave for The Commonwealth, we can take you to a safehouse and get you to safety. That's my offer."

[i]After a pause, James replied “Have you ever heard of the Brotherhood of Steel?”[/i]

"Brotherhood of what-now?" Longfellow chuckled. His laughs gradually morphed into a fit of coughing after which he regained himself and stared back up at the newcomer,

"No stranger I ain't heard of a Brotherhood of Steel, or the Brotherhood of Iron or Wood. Or any other construction material for that matter. Sounds like mainlainder bullshit if you ask me," Longfellow took another swig from his flask. Despite his joke, he could tell that the man was serious however. And so he sighed, tucked his flask away, and started back at James with a curious look,

"Alright stranger I'll bite. Just what is 'The Brotherhood of Steel'?"
