Summary:

In this episode, the Stragglers Crew continues their journey from Harrison, heading back home to Dustridge to report their findings. On the road home, they encounter the Brotherhood of Steel and have a conversation about synths and the mythical creature known as the Wendigo.

Making new friends in the Brotherhood -Paladin Grant, Scribe Pennington, and Initiate Wellington - the gang negotiate with the Brotherhood for a power converter to fix Crazy Carl's robot, but in exchange, they learn a perilous new truth...

SPOILERS AHEAD, read at your own peril!

Turns our, the Brotherhood thinks there's a Synth on the loose - a synthetic human robot, known for replacing real humans in their sleep and infiltrating their communities one person at a time. This Synth is "somewhere" in Michigan - an oh-so not-specific region, but if they find her, they can get their much-needed power converter.

On their way into town, they notice all the lights are out. Not a good sign. They encounter the Sheriff and the Mayor Evelyn, and they report the news about the raiders and the cannibals. But now that the town knows there's a pack a cannibals on the loose, folks are anxious to get on the move. They consider the option of evacuating their current location and heading to New Detroit for safety....

TLDR;

• The wasteland is filled with even more dangerous factions and creatures than we originally thought - our guys need to be careful!
• The Brotherhood of Steel is interested in finding a rogue synth.
• Michigan is 56,591 square miles
• Synths are dangerous and can pose a threat to communities.
• The group must prioritize the safety of their community and make the difficult decision to evacuate.
• The presence of a mysterious synth lady in a red duster coat raises questions and adds to the danger of The Wasteland
