Myrna is a synth who were sent from the Insitute to spreads fears and chaos about synths and accuses everyone is a synth to makes DC fked up with her accusing.
Think you can you handle the truth? No, I doubt it. Ok, see, the Institute don't waste valuable gen3 resources on grubby wastelanders you freakin' fools. Terrorizing dimwitted scumbags like them (and you) is deceptively simple. A few scare stories, abduct someone too-good-to-be-true, sow some cheap broken or rejected synth component into them. Drug, brainwash or hypno them a little until they're acting up, or out of character. Dump them back. Let the other paranoid fools rip them apart, and marvel how realistic the innards are. Fear & paranoia doubles overnight. Turn them on each other. That's quite often all the Institute has to do for outsmarting fools & tools. There, see? I was right - I knew y'all couldn't handle the truth, not the real truth...
They can't figure out how to update their own infrastructure and still have to leech power from above ground. I don't take them as capable of thinking of something like that.
I still think that the mother of all ironies in FO4 is that Father dies of cancer (if the SS doesn't shoot him in the face) after a life as the only human being never exposed to radiation from food, water and enviroment.. And the fact that all the 3rd gen synths, that we presume to be immortal, have his very own DNA which must be a mess without external intervention... imagine living in the outside world with rad storm, rad food, rad water and such.. While the aunt of all ironies is the Institute that can create synthetic humans, has teletrasportation and other increadible technologies can't cure Cancer in a World in which nuclear reactors are in the backyard of many buildings, a self learnt doctor can cure radiation poisoning with a simple medicine.
BTW "Synth Free Shopping" reminds me when Peter Griffin tries to sell "Free Tibet" to China in exchange for all their tea.
To be fair, I have no idea how they can teleport an entire biological being, create synthetic humans, but can't cure cancer. Can't you just make a teleporter that teleports people minus tumors?
Every time Father uses the teleporter, the machine also rematerializes his tumor at the target destination.
@ToroMontana not sure about the procedure, but according to what Father says, he never went out for a stroll in his entire life (except during a mission), so no teleportation to be used. His young synth version was used to create the trail to follow..
Late to the party, but the problem with cancer is that it's the body's own tissues metastasising out of control -- as far as the body is concerned, it's just normal tissue, which is cancer's strongest defensive mechanism. The only way to get rid of the !&$%ing stuff is to poison and nuke the body juuuuust enough that the cancer dies and the rest of the body doesn't, sort of like how bees kill an invading wasp by overheating it without also killing themselves in the process.
So whatever applied phlebotinum works for the teleporters must be incapable of distinguishing cancerous cells from normal ones. Still a gaping plothole, but at least the teleporter theory can be explained away without resorting to "the zetans did it".
@SniperGlova: He teleports up to the top of the building downtown to look down upon creation and deem the Commonwealth unworthy of saving, which if the teleporter does work, would be all it would take.
@jtgibson There are other therapies for cancer in reality. But again, usually in FO world, a bath in radioactive waste gets you an extra toe, or some other bizarre stuff, but I bet you already knew that.
The more think about teleportation, the bigger the plot hole gets: how can Shaun teleport without any implant or beacon or whatever? Is it supposed to work like Star Trek one or else? Why the SS needs a chip installed on the Pip-Boy while replicants and bladerunners.. ehrm I mean Synths and Coursers are already attuned instead?
PS: I just rewatched Bladerunner and I thought how cool would be if somebody made a video with Deckard giving the Safe/GOAT test to Rachel, but instead of Sean Young, Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct but answering as Nora would..
I did think about using a teleporter that teleports people minus their tumors, when I used to watch Star Trek TNG. Surely with technology like that they could do it. Or just simply teleport the cancer or tumors directly out of the body, or anything else that shouldn't be there.
You have my endorsement purely for your literary prowess.
Brilliant!
Not only did you sleuth out the the biggest gap in the storyline, but the title could only more accurate if she was indeed pregnant. (Be a nice expansion pack though "Spawn of the Mother of All Ironies").
How the f*#@ is this not ACTUALLY canon? LIke I never killed Myrna because I didn't feel like dealing with the rest of Diamond City coming down on my head, but I assumed she was a synth the entire time because it's too perfect to not be the case.
