"What gives you the RIGHT to throw away one of your BEST men, just for circumstances NONE of us knew about!?" She snarled, flames dancing around her hand. Her other arm was wrapped around Danse, holding him close as the Elder stared at the two of them.

"I gave you an order. I followed you here because I - correctly - predicted you wouldn't follow through." He stepped closer, Dyce throwing flames forward threateningly. "What gives you the right to attack someone who outranks you?!"

She gasped slightly. standing up as the flames sputtered away. "Listen to me, Maxson..." She sighed. "Hear me out. Let him live. He didn't know. None of us did."

"Just--"

"No, Danse, let me finish. He's a machine but... so what? His feeling of betrayal... That's as human as you can get. You can't 'betray' an organization by being something you never knew you were."

"...And where would he go?"

"Wherever he pleases. I refuse to kill him. I refuse to let you kill him."

Maxson looked at Danse, then at Dyce, before shaking his head. "...Fine. Danse. You died out here, by her hands. Don't let me catch you near the Prydwen. Dyce... I expect a full report."

"I'll make it as gory as possible." She rolled her eyes as Maxson walked away, before sighing and looking back at Danse again.

"...Thank you." He smiled slightly. "It'll... it'll be a lot to adjust to, now that I don't really have... anything left."

"You've got me. You've... You've got the others, too. Dex and the boys." She nodded. "C'mon. I'll take you over to the Drive-In. They'll definitely benefit from the knowledge you hold."
