Children of Atom (Megaton)

Children of Atom is a local cult from Megaton that worships an unexploded bomb around which the town was built. Their leader is Confessor Cromwell.

The Child of Atom believes that each atomic mass contains an entire universe, and that when an atomic mass is split many universes are created. Therefore, instead of seeing the Great War as destructive the Child of Atom believes it was a creative and unifying holy event. This could suggest they would desire the atomic bomb to blow up and send them on their destiny, rather than have it disarmed. Although this may be their wish, there are far more Megaton residents than Children of Atom, so blowing it up regards in Negative karma. The Children of the Atom seem to have existed as far back as Megaton's construction, as Manya mentions that they were instrumental in getting the town built.

An Explosives skill of 25 or higher is required to have any interaction with the bomb if you refuse Mr. Burke's offer
