helloaschefire:

@hoodieofthewaste , you mentioned that you wondered about how Ashoken handled Dima and Arcadia. The events at Far Harbor were very important to Ashoken’s personal development. The idea that there was a safe place for synths outside the Institute’s influence was one that intrigued Ashoken. Duncan worried it was a trap or a trick, and Ashoken agreed that it could. But as they made their way through the events, they found no trick. Only Dima’s and the Children of Atom’s hubris. Thus Ashoken, as she often does, become nemesis. The instrument of their downfall.

Remember, Ashoken prizes honesty above almost everything else. Dima was never honest. Even the synths using Arcadia as a refuge feel there is something wrong there. Something they can’t identify. I think Dima felt it too and sent Ashoken on that path. It ended with Ashoken convincing Dima to fess up to what he’d done. He died on the pier. I found it sad that everyone left his body there. I had this great screenshot of Ashoken kneeling in mourning next to his body. Sadly, my computer refuses to read the USB drive it lives on now. She and Duncan buried his body and left Arcadia alone. For now. There are plans…

As for the Children of Atom. She never even gave them a chance to speak. There would be no way of getting her and Duncan to drink their swill.

Duncan belongs to the lovely @charomiami , my partner in crime and alternate Fallout universes. 😀
