Caught in a lie?

[sigmapsidelta]

While trying to wring all I can from the Children of Atom at the Nucleus, I took on 'The Heretic', convinced Gwyneth to leave Far Harbour, and lied to Richter about it. He believed me and gave me the 'Atom's Justice' as a reward.

I did a few other jobs about the place. I was about to enter the Command Centre and noticed someone coming in from outside.

Gwyneth just strolled in, climbed the stairs at the rear, and stood eating noodles behind the weapons trader's shop.

Is there any possibility this will blow up in my face? Can Richter notice that the person he rewarded me for 'dealing with' is hanging around the Nucleus?

This has never happened before. Gwyneth always leaves, and the last I ever see of her is when I leave her at the old church.

Don't worry, that’s just a bug.
From the Fallout wiki bug section: “If convinced to flee during The Heretic, she may still be found working in the Nucleus afterward. It will not be possible to interact with her and she will not respond to prompts by the Sole Survivor to talk to her.”

Thank you.

Damn, I always forget the wiki. I was using it for something else earlier, too.

Getting old. No, got old. Getting older. Memory is still perfect, but the recall is a bit intermittent on the best of days.

I have never had this happen and now I want someone to write a quest around it.

Me: "Gwyneth! It's... a miracle... you're... alive? I guess?"
Gwneth: "I have never seen this a*****e before in my life."

But for the access to traders, I might have done. From my first meeting with any of them, the Children of Atom in the Commonwealth have always fired on me without cause. And every time it happened I saw Will Smith piloting a fighter jet saying, "oh, no! You did NOT just fire that green sh!t at me."

I will go with the plan to replace Tektus with a synth and have peace between the three factions. Better to have six main traders than just four. or two.

I'll hang on to the Nucleus's missile arming key, and the wind farm killer. I prefer to be the only one holding the means of everyone's destruction.
