So it's not a true hive mind.

They're just all sort of similarly blank up there, I guess.

But, you know, the all quiet conversation happens.

Hank reveals, I mean, they both reveal that they found it troubling.

But to Hank, he says the most troubling was that everyone seemed to be fighting over nothing.

The French and the Germans.

I mean, what was the difference between them really other than the uniforms?

I saw the same thing up on the surface.

People fighting over the most petty things like bottle caps.

Is that what you saw when you were up there?

And Lucy's kind of quiet as if

she does see some truth in what he is saying, because that is essentially what Lucy has witnessed largely because, and maybe this is kind of a critique of the season, but she hasn't really had any time to get to know people up there and what drives them and what they want.

You know, she has sort of speed run all of these factions and she encounters them and she gets captured or crucified or whatever, and then she's out of there.

It's not totally true, though.

Like, if you play...

New Vegas, okay, yes, there are plenty of people who are just squabbling over bottle caps.

They're just trying to survive and trying to make their way in the world.

But if you play the games and you get to talk to the companions and learn more of their perspective, well, the NCR, the Legion, these factions are fighting over real issues and the future of the wasteland in a way like Hank is.

So...

Maybe he's selling people short or, again, is kind of elevating himself or Vault-Tec or the Enclave or whoever and underestimating and writing off everyone else as basically having these petty concerns, whereas he is the one who is high-minded about everything.
