Brotherhood Hopeful

Brotherhood hopefuls are uninitiated recruits hoping to join the Brotherhood of Steel under the Brotherhood First Expeditionary Force at Fort Atlas in 2103.

Background
Brotherhood hopefuls are found in the exterior of Fort Atlas. Unlike Brotherhood initiates, they have not officially joined the Brotherhood of Steel, and are still hoping to be initiated into the faction.

Locations

 * Multiple Brotherhood Hopefuls spawn at Fort Atlas, but cannot be killed by the player.
 * There are multiple locations around Appalachia where Brotherhood Hopefuls and Brotherhood Initiates can be encountered, and unlike those at Fort Atlas they can be killed and doing so seemingly has no reputation losses with the brotherhood.
 * One can be found south west of The Wayward at a checkpoint on the main road.
 * One can be found east of Forward Station Alpha at a crashed vertibird along a dried up stream.
 * One can be found south of Fort Atlas at a checkpoint on the highway.
 * One can be found north east of Fort Atlas at a checkpoint on the highway.
 * One can be found north west of Drop Site V9 at a crashed vertibird.
 * One can be found north east of the South Mountain Lookout, at a crashed vertibird on the northern side of an unmarked crater.
 * One can be found south east of the Federal Disposal Field HZ-21, at a crashed vertibird.
 * One can be found south west of the Converted Munitions Factory, at a crashed vertibird located on top of the mountain.
