Well, Adytum was pretty much a bust. It's a safe enclave, so-called, in the midst of the vast wilderness of stark ruins called the Boneyard. The people there weren't hostile, exactly, but they weren't friendly either. From what I was able to gather, they've been having problems with a local gang, the Blades. the coincidence of that name, the Blades, with my nom de voyage, made me wonder if that was why the Adytumites were so guarded in their reactions toward me.
Nah... They were watching me suspiciously before I said my name was "Blade." In any case, they made it clear that I would be welcome of, and only if, I did something to help them with their gang problem.

(Avery's and Allen Lee's dialogue) - ↑ The Sole Survivor: "I'm not some non-name "mainlander." I'm tough enough for your little island."
Old Longfellow: "Sling a bit of lead on the Hull and now you think you're ready to walk in the Fog, do ya? Things you'll see inland make that look like a Sunday stroll."
(Old Longfellow's dialogue) - ↑ The Sole Survivor: "If you don't give a damn about mainlanders, what do you care if I die out there?"
Old Longfellow: "Don't care much. But I got better things to do than guide fools to their death."
(Old Longfellow's dialogue) - ↑ The Sole Survivor: "Really, do I look like your average mainlander?"
Old Longfellow: "Truth be told, no. This goes against my better judgement... I can get you to Acadia, but you've got to listen to me. Go where I say. When I say it. Still won't be easy. You stock up on your necessities, Rad-X and the like. Then the real work can begin."
(Old Longfellow's dialogue)
