Notes
- The city does not become hostile if the player character intervenes by killing Kyle. If Riley is attacked, however, Kyle is immediately killed and the city becomes hostile.
- Riley does not carry any Institute items nor does he drop a synth component upon death, indicating that he is most likely human, and not a synth.
- Following the resolution of the event, one can talk to the Diamond City security officer and pass a speech check.

Riley appears only in Fallout 4.
