Why are they all staring at us?

The New California Republic. They're just like the Legion. They all have their problems, Lucy. High taxes, expansionist tendencies, unpopular foreign policies. Trust me, you'll understand when you're older.
I think I do understand. One is murdering people, enslaving them, crucifying them. And other side is...vaguely problematic. You know, I have to admit, you always were a good father. Thanks to you, I'm not a fudging idiot.
Hello? This is Norm MacLean from Vault 33. Lucy, if you're out there, I'm on the Surface. I need your help. Dad, if you can hear me...what's gonna happen to our Vault? Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell us the truth?
The only way to save our family is to save the world. Simple.
Oh...Dinah.
Well hello, old chum.
Together we will reclaim the holy land they call Vegas. There, we'll build a palace worthy of our empire. Caesar's Palace.
[pointing a gun at the diode] What happens if I shoot this thing?
Unclear. There's only ever been one of them, so it would be fresh snow from a scientific standpoint. But if it were to expel all of its energy simultaneously? The damage would likely extend to other planets. So I would exercise extreme caution.
Like it or not, Mister Howard, everyone works for me eventually.
"Weapons Activated?" Hot dog.
Kill me.
Oh please no. Why does everybody always want me to kill them all the time?
Kill me. Please. Stop him.
Vault-Tec wanted an impenetrable Vault buried half a mile below the city. But I was always one step ahead. I rigged every aspect of this city so I could protect its future. I rigged every slot machine, every roulette wheel. I even rigged their "impenetrable Vault for Management." But I miscalculated. Because this Vault belongs not to Vault-Tec, but to their investors. I never fathomed that there could be someone one step ahead of me.
When it came to predicting the end of the world, I was off by just a smidge. But when it came to controlling the future, I was wholly outclassed by an invisible adversary. It was they who set the Deathclaws on Vegas. And now one of their acolytes is here, in this very building.
Robert House wanted to turn human beings into machines. Erase their memories, make them suggestible enough to following his orders. You know Robert, he was a bit of a robot himself. And who wants to live in a world full of robots? So what I was trying to do was add a little personality to his product.
Who was she?
Congresswoman Diane Welch, from Glendale. ISTP on the old Myers-Briggs. Which is still the gold standard for personnel. Ideal personality to scale. With the kind of attributes we could stand to see more of out there in the world if you ask me. Well-meaning, sweet, non-threatening.
Then why would you do that to her?
Well...Daddy's job is complicated, sweetie.
The Enclave's eyes are everywhere. You should know, Mister Howard. Two hundred years ago you delivered that diode into their possession yourself. You helped bring forth the greatest threat to the Wasteland. You were their unwitting servant.
I am what I am.
Is that what you'll tell your family when you find them?
