Whenever I talked to Deacon

Deacon managed to convince two of my friends that he was actually a synth. Didn't bother getting attached to him, because I knew Maxson would eventually want him dead. Killed him with a Railway Rifle, X6-88 with Big Boy, and I would've happily beaten Preston to death if the Minutemen weren't so insignificant that the two major factions (Brotherhood and Institute) didn't give a **** about them.
