Danny Sullivan is the gatekeeper for the main entrance of Diamond City in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.
Background[edit]
Danny is the Diamond City Security officer responsible for monitoring the main entrance to the city for potential threats and troublemakers. An incident surrounding a recently-published controversial news story, "The Synthetic Truth," left Publick Occurrences reporter Piper Wright banned from Diamond City. Under the orders of Mayor McDonough, Danny is reluctantly denying Piper access to the city.[1]
However, Piper uses the arrival of the Sole Survivor to pressure Danny into opening the gate, by convincing him that the Survivor is a local trader coming up from Quincy and threatening him with the wrath of Myrna if the gate is not opened. This inadvertently restores Piper's access to the city.[2]

Inventory[edit]
Notes[edit]
- After letting the Sole Survivor and Piper in the city, Danny can be spoken to behind the counter at the entrance. There is an easy Charisma challenge and if choosing to lie to him, one will get the same conversation again and be able to attempt both challenges.
- If one has not talked to Irma or McDonough yet, the player can ask Sullivan for help, where he will point them to Nick Valentine's office.

Danny: "I got orders not to let you in, Ms. Piper. I'm sorry. I'm just doing my job."
Piper: "Just doing your job? Protecting Diamond City means keeping me out, is that it? "Oh look, it's the scary reporter!" Boo!"
Danny: "I'm sorry, but Mayor McDonough's really steamed, Piper. Sayin' that article you wrote was all lies. The whole city's in a tizzy."

Sole Survivor: "I just got here, but yeah."
Piper: "Shh. Play along. What was that? You said you're a trader up from Quincy? You have enough supplies to keep the general store stocked You hear that, Danny? You gonna open the gate and let us in? Or are you going to be the one talking to crazy Myrna about losing out on all this supply?"
Danny: "Geez, all right. No need to make it personal, Piper. Give me a minute."
