So while doing a quest with Piper as my follower I decided to have her head to my settlement, as she blew my cover on the mission several times. She leaves and I continue on with the quest. Upon completing the main objective I hear the stomps of power armor barreling towards me at an alarming rate. I turn around and see Piper standing there in power armor. The enemies in the area heard her and then decended upon us. And I had to run out of there, dying multiple times. I was not pleased to say the least :/ I return to base. Decided to give piper a time out and get another companion. I got the alternate companion and I fast traveled out. I arrive at the destination turn around and there's Piper. I found having two companions cool at first, with all the extra carrying capacity and the crazy firefights. But sometimes I like to go it alone. I can get rid of the other companion no problem but Piper never leaves, even if I make her the active companion and try to send her off through dialogue. I've tried everything but she won't leave. Is there any way to fix this. Also reloading the old save is not an option I'm too far ahead of the story. Also this is the following quest is where she bugged out for sure. SPOILER! The quest was destruction of the prydwen. And I sent her off after getting off the vertibird to go place the bombs.

Spoiler tags are for a reason.

(yes I know it was in the trailer, but even so...)

I said spoiler before the "spoiler". If you read from left to right properly and didn't want anything spoiled you wouldn't read any further from that point on. So there's not problem here except for you being nit picky and not actually helping. And you have my thanks for reading and trying to see if you could help. So thank you SofaJockey
