Characters
Initiate Vernon Dodge: "It was rough. Nothing I couldn't shrug off, but the younger recruits were bending too far, and sometimes snapping. One kid...(sigh)... Damn it, sorry. One kid got a lot more stick than carrot. Went AWOL in the middle of the night. The old fool I am, saw it as my duty to chase him down before anyone like Wilson took notice. By the time I caught up with him, we were a day out, completely lost our bearing. We got waylaid by a group of passing Raiders. Guess they saw us fit enough for their fighting pits... but weak enough to get the drop on." Vault Dweller: "You were just trying to help that recruit. That's hardly deserting." Initiate Vernon Dodge: "I abandoned my post all the same. Should have told Wilson right away, instead of running off like some foolish hero. Spent the next decade or so slitting throats, caving in skulls, and doing anything I could to not be a corpse on the arena floor. Lost an eye... Lost the kid, too... It was a long, hard life to live. That is, until my latest handler brought me to the Watoga Civics [sic] Center fight pits. The smell of being so close to home got my blood boiling. Strangled the poor bastard with one of those collars. Then... ran like hell. I took a bullet from a search party, but I've been free of 'em since. Now I just been limp around, [sic] looking for any Brotherhood tech I can fix. Trying to make things right with a bunch of ghosts, while I still can. But that's enough of the past. Hope you've heard what you wanted. Leave me be for a spell, would you?" (Initiate Vernon Dodge's dialogue)
 * Initiate Vernon Dodge of the Brotherhood of Steel lost an eye while fighting as a slave for the amusement of Raiders. Vault Dweller: "Sounds pretty rough."
