[X6-88 observes as Reynolds speaks the code phrase to Warwick, and follows as the synth guides them over away from the fields to discuss the issue he reported. It turns out, the foreman has grown suspicious of the truth, that Warwick is a replacement, and has sent one of the workers to Goodneighbor, presumably to find assistance and spread the word. X6 has all the self-control expected of a courser, so he doesn't swear under his breath, or at the synth. But he does reprimand him, because if the synth had been more competent, this wouldn't be a problem.
He notices that the synth refers to the Warwick family as his wife and children. X6-88 wonders if perhaps this is the true issue, that he's become compromised. Replacements very rarely go rogue, but sometimes, they do lose themselves in their roles like that. But Reynolds doesn't comment on the slip. X6-88 will simply have to note it in his report once this is all over.
The Warwick synth accepts the packet of experimental seeds and returns to the fields. X6 looks to Reynolds.] Orders, sir?
