Child of Atom (preacher)

This  is the preacher encountered on the road to Acadia in 2287.

Background
Has dealt with Old Longfellow before - fervent fanatic believer in Atom - Is she the Child executed by the townsfolk later?

Old Longfellow: "Let's head out of town. Acadia's above the Fog line on the mountain. It's a bit of a hike. You might want to take this for the road. Tastes foul as sin, but it'll help. We need to move through the main drag. Old mountain trail is where we're headed. The Fog ain't like nothin' you've seen in the Commonwealth. Mainlanders think a dose of Rad-Away's all you need. Haha. Tracks. Fresh ones. Trappers ahead. When the bullets start flyin', find cover. Keep your head down if you want to live." "You're not half bad in a scrap. Figured I'd have to take care of the lot of them. Might just make a proper Far Harborman/Harborwoman out of you. *Chuckle*" "See. The Fog can do a number on you. Gets you all turned around. Does somethin' to your brain. Trappers were mean to begin with, but now..." ''"Here's the mountain trail. We stick to this and we'll make it to Acadia. Game trails crisscross the road, so don't be surprised if we got local wildlife to deal with." "You like them puppies? We grow everything extra mean on the island. Still got a ways to go." "Hear that? Crawler. They usually stick to the Deep Fog. Best we steer clear. But you never know." "When I was a young lad, no higher than your knee, whole island was covered in Fog. The Fog eventually rolled back. People resettled, but they got comfortable. Started takin' things for granted. Folk got short memories, all this has happened before." "Gulper's got a fondness for fresh water. A small Gulper, like the ones in these parts, is a fair challenge. Now the big ones, they can grow two... three times the size of a man. Good thing you don't see too many of them around." Child of Atom: "Hold there. Stringing one more soul to their damnation, old man?" Old Longfellow: "Well, what have we here? Another rad-worshippin' lunatic, that's what." Child of Atom: "Your barbs do not harm me. I am shielded by my faith." Old Longfellow: "How 'bout bullets? Faith shield ya against those, too?" The Sole Survivor: "Who's she?" Old Longfellow: "One of them Children of Atom preachers. Started off as pests, now they're more like a menace."''

The Sole Survivor: "Sounds like none of my business." Old Longfellow: "Lucky for you." The Sole Survivor: "Go ahead and shoot her, then." Old Longfellow: "She ain't worth wastin' ammo on. Too bad I left my huntin' knife at home." The Sole Survivor: "Let's just settle down, OK?" Old Longfellow: "You're right. Waste of ammo."

Child of Atom: "Do not sully this one with your blasphemy, old man. You. I suggest you go no further. Acadia is a nest of snakes. Beasts that subvert the will of Atom."

The Sole Survivor: "What's Acadia done to make you distrust them?" Child of Atom: "They supply Far Harbor with the means to turn back Atom's holy Fog. You would do well to avoid such creatures and instead seek the only true master of this land. The Sole Survivor: "All right. I'm listening. Tell me about Atom." Child of Atom: "Tell you? Look around. You stride through His kingdom. A land blanketed beneath sacred Fog. A land Atom has claimed for His Children. And you may join our family, if He deems you worthy. The Sole Survivor: "Worthy? What do I have to do to join?" Child of Atom: ''"There is a ritual His Children must perform. If you succeed, you will be rewarded with entrance into our family.

The Sole Survivor: "Okay. Sign me up." Child of Atom: ''"Excellent. Head to the Nucleus. There Atom's plans for you will be revealed.

The Sole Survivor: "On second thought, I'm good." Child of Atom: ''"So be it. But I would be mindful where you step. After all, you are in Atom's kingdom now.

The Sole Survivor: "Suppose I've got nothing better to do." Child of Atom: ''"Huh. Atom usually prefers those with a bit more... fervor. But nonetheless, if you wish to test His favor, seek the Nucleus.

You do know you're crazy, right? Watch yourself, outsider. You walk through Atom's kingdom now.

Yeah. Whatever you say. Watch yourself, outsider. You walk through Atom's kingdom now.

Greeting Mind your step, friend. A nest of snakes lies ahead.

Hello Far Harbor and Acadia are doomed. The Children are the rightful heirs to this place.

Hello Head to the Nucleus. There, Atom's plan will be revealed.

Hello Let us hope Atom sees as much potential in you as I.

Hello Far Harbor and Acadia are doomed. Better you realize that now.

Hello May you find His light.
