With that exposition out of the way, you have a better idea of the world that you find yourself in. Some of the things described by Karlee are bizarre, but Herrmann doesn't doubt anything that she says. Either he's playing along with her lie, or the world has become a very strange place.
“What about the one that got away? The boy who carried the sled.” A variable that you can't account for. “Is he going to cause any trouble?”
“Who, Wiesel? We just brought him along as our pack mule, to drag back anything that we found.” Karlee scoffs as she speaks about the youth, her distaste for him apparent. “He was never good for much else. The gendos will get him as soon as night falls, I'm sure of it.”
“He's a good kid,” grunts Herrmann. “He's got luck on his side. It's why I brought him on. He'll make it to Mulhouse.” Toothless Karlee gives the brute a scathing glare but he doesn't seem to care.
“Let's say that he makes it back to Mulhouse. Is there anyone there that I should worry about? Anyone that would have a problem with a Sleeper in the mountains?” Since your awakening, you haven't been fond of taking chances and you're not about to buck that trend. You want to know what you should be ready for, just in case.
“No, no! If you're just keeping to yourself up here then you'll be just fine, I promise.” Karlee is going out of her way to try and console you, it seems. “They won't trouble you, I swear it. Why would they? It's not like you're a threat!” The evident your doubt becomes, the shriller her voice gets.
You turn to Herrmann to see if he has anything better to offer but he just gives you a blank stare. “I don't have a fucking clue. Never even heard of Sleepers before now.”
Great. You have no idea if you can trust Karlee and Herrmann is just dumb muscle. You decided to keep these Scrappers around, so now you need to decide what to do with them.
>Keep them confined to their cell at all times, though it isn't much of one. There's no door but hopefully guards posted at all times will be enough to deter them from escaping.
>Put them to work. Herrmann will perform heavy labour as a slave of the Voss and Karlee will assist you with the Bygone technology of the vault, under threat of death.
>Utilise your memes and try to incorporate them into the tribe. There might be some backlash from the Voss, who may not react well to these outsiders becoming their equals.
