I was pretty cheesed the author of the #EnclaveRemnants mod designed the quest flow to rope you into getting magically captured and held for questioning by Sigma Squad with no opportunity to even defend yourself against capture.

Got a lil’ liberal tossing synth relay grenades into a thick of Gunners and somehow not a one of them was destroyed in the ensuing massacre

So now I have a synth legion following me around everywhere that I can’t get rid of. And yes I do mean everywhere.
