She began to feel that Nat was the only one she could count on. People began to actively avoid her, treating her less like a friend and more like a nosy snoop.

Her fervor for discovering the truth made her popular for a while, but eventually, public opinion turned against her because her articles were seen as being 'too negative' which caused her to get into a lot of trouble. She started her newspaper out of a desperate attempt to begin improving life in the city. She quickly found out that there was a lot 'wrong' about Diamond City, from crooked guards to failing infrastructure.

Įventually, Piper and Nat saved enough money to relocate to Diamond City, where she began her career as an investigative journalist. When the raiders eventually showed up expecting the gate to be wide open, they instead encountered prepared defenses by alerted townsfolk and were driven away. The settlers, outraged by the story, exiled Mayburn. The conspicuously public accusation got the attention of the town's mayor, who accepted Piper's evidence. Piper then created and circulated wanted posters featuring the captain and a list of his crimes. The local authorities did not believe her claims and refused to investigate. His superior, Captain Mayburn, arranged to leave the main gate open and unguarded one night to allow raiders access in exchange for a cut of the loot and had Piper's father murdered to keep him silent. After her father was found dead under suspicious circumstances, Piper learned that he had discovered a raider plot to sack the town. Piper grew up in a small community on the outskirts of the Commonwealth with Nat and their father, a member of the local militia. 3 Interactions with the player character.
