he tries SO HARD for people he decides to. SO SO SO HARD. his background as a first son to a very rich family in the 1800s really shows sometimes but he has a good heart and (the most intimidating thing for writing him) an expansive knowledge base from centuries of science
he comes across as more eccentric as he ultimately is bc he's (rightfully) memed as the ancient aliens guy of fallout 4, and he's also more social than one would think for someone who closes himself up in his lab all the time
he's lived in a bubble for forever and i just think itd be fun to throw him outside of that and he deserves the chance to grow! he would find the barge FASCINATING and COOL
piper might weather the barge weirdness okay but preston would struggle so hard with the morality stuff-- X6-88 how could i forget my boy!! he's perfect inmate material
X6 and edward wouldnt interact so itd be fine
