As they approach the Sole Survivor , the Mechanist will give away their true identity operator as Isabel Cruz and explain thatshe programmed her robots to protect the people of the Commonwealth . Isabel will react in skepticism when told that innocent traders and settlers are being killed .
Herrobobrain overseer have been misinterpreting their orders to bring through peopleby killing them . Their logic is that the Commonwealth is so dangerous that killing innocent gives them a quick destruction and prevents suffering . When confronted with this , Isabel will react in horror but will stay in denial about her robots killing people .
