I'm sure they did.

But this Fulcrum character probably knew you were defecting, at least. That might be a point in your favor.

[mismanagement]

It is the way of things. It would have looked bad for someone of my rank to defect.

Perhaps, though I don't presume my previous command history will have her looking kindly upon me now.

[synthedick]

Maybe not, but people can change.

[mismanagement]

I know you believe that.

[Maketh tries to. Sometimes she can.]

[synthedick]

Wholeheartedly.

[Not that he has a heart, in the traditional sense.]

[mismanagement]

You have true honor, Nick Valentine. I'm glad to have met you.

[synthedick]

I just do what's needed, and help where I can. It doesn't have to be more complicated than that.

[mismanagement]

[But it is.]

It matters more than you know.

I do not think you would have liked what I was in the Empire. I am trying not to be that again.

[synthedick]

As long as you've got folks around who'll watch your back, you won't be. You know Henry and I will keep you on the straight and narrow, but I think you do that well enough on your own, and better than you think.

[mismanagement]

Perhaps. But I am thankful nonetheless.

[synthedick]

Me too, Maketh. Me too.
