THEME MUSIC CONTINUES TO 0 M 10 S.

SCENE: EXTERIOR. MURMUR OF ANXIOUS VOICES

JOANNA AUDAX: Not Enclave? Don't be ridiculous, Dashwood.

HERBERT “DARING” DASHWOOD: It makes logical sense, Joanna. I can't think of anything that would provide sufficient motivation for the Enclave to do such a thing.

JOANNA AUDAX: Does that pack of fascist fools require any sort of motivation?

ARGYLE: I think you ought to listen to him, Paladin, he's completely right.

INITIATE WERTHER: (EXCITED) Er, sorry to interrupt your disagreement, but I think I've found another clue.

ARGYLE: (IMPRESSED) The kid's on a roll!

INITIATE WERTHER: (EXCITED) I totally am, aren't I?

JOANNA AUDAX: (EXASPERATED) That's enough, Initiate.

HERBERT “DARING” DASHWOOD: Yes, out with it, young man.

INITIATE WERTHER: Well, okay, see that guy over there?

ARGYLE: The one selling vault jumpsuits?

INITIATE WERTHER: No, no, that one.

JOANNA AUDAX: Surely not the girl selling necklaces made from spent ammunition cases and tin cans?

INITIATE WERRTHER: No, Paladin -

HERBERT “DARING DASHWOOD: The venerable looking gentleman selling Abraxo and turpentine?

INITIATE WERTHER: (EXASPERATED) No, no! That ghoul, with the red jacket, over – huh. (UTTERLY CONFUSED) That's odd. He's gone. It's like he's just disappeared.

JOANNA AUDAX: Enough, Initiate! We'll track him down. But what was the clue?

INITIATE WERTHER: Oh. Um, well, he said that the Enclave guys – the guys who looked Enclave, I mean – were talking when they grabbed the kid. And they mentioned a SatCom array, and a fort.

HERBERT “DARING” DASHWOOD: (SELF-SATISFIED) A SatCom array and a fort?

JOANNA AUDAX: (AUDIBLE SIGH) You were right, then, Dashwod. They weren't Enclave. They were Talon Company.
