So I think Deacon is playing a subtle con on me. He stands around all the time as if he has some sort of giant invisible sandwich in his hands. Has the Institute developed invisible sandwich technology? Or is this a bug? If it is a said bug, does anyone know how to fix it? I'm tired of him lording his delicious stealth breadenings over me.

Fast traveling, reloading, exiting and reloading, making him don power armor and then exit, shooting him and then stimpaking, dismissing, equipping new things to him - nothing seems to work.
