Summary
The good news is that Kingsport is in far better condition than anyone expected after two centuries of neglect and more than a few eccentric tenants. The bad news is that Tua Holloway’s new neighbor is at the center of an investigation involving a missing Vault trader and a missing synth detective. The whole affair has her wondering if it’s really worth leaving the city… or if the country is no safer for themself and their new family. A retelling of the incident at Longneck Lukowski’s Cannery, with a couple of artistic liberties.

Summary
Nick Valentine is getting older — and as a synth, he’s reluctant to find out what that means. So when a case is dropped in his lap during a long-overdue visit to Acadia, he doesn’t need much convincing to investigate further — even if the suspects are on the unusual side. A retelling of the Far Harbor DLC side quest of the same name, with the usual liberties taken.
