188AlexanderAboutCaravans Not much to tell. A brahmin or two loaded up with weapons, and a whole mess of well-armed guards to make sure it ends up where it's supposed to. 188AlexanderAboutCaravans One nifty bit, though. The gun cases are rigged to explode. So trying to loot one of our caravans doesn't do much good. 188AlexanderAboutCaravans And that's how the NCR stays equipped. The only thing we don't bring in is energy weapons. 188AlexanderAboutGunRunners The Gun Runners have been putting rapid-fire death-dealing in the hands of anyone who needed to defend himself for over a century. 188AlexanderAboutGunRunners We're the NCR's #1 supplier of weapons and ammunition. You might call us an unofficial branch of the army. 188AlexanderAboutYourRole I'm a salesman. I swing through McCarran and the dam once a week or so to take orders. But lately I spend most of my time in this piss heap. 188AlexanderAboutYourRole Ever since the 15 shut down, all caravans come through here - right to me. I check the stock and direct deliveries onward to meet orders. 188AlexanderAboutYourRole Sure, it stinks to hang out here, but it won't be forever. Plus I can afford a monthly bender on the Strip and still build up my nest egg. 188AlexanderAreYouSelling Am I selling? Yeah. Am I selling to you? No. Sorry to hurt your feelings, but you're small time. Move along. 188AlexanderBuySell There's usually a gun merchant hanging around topside. I'm sure she'll take care of you. 188AlexanderGunRunner Like you have a clue what that even means. 188AlexanderNoEnergyWeapons We used to. But every caravan carrying them was getting ambushed and wiped out. By someone sophisticated enough to know which was which. 188AlexanderNoEnergyWeapons We think it was the Brotherhood of Steel - those crazies always go hard for energy weapons. But the NCR would rather pretend they killed all of them. 188AlexanderPcAchievements Still plenty of other problems keeping the 15 shut down, though. Thanks for playing. 188AlexanderPcAchievements That'll help. Still plenty of problems out that way, though. 188AlexanderPcAchievements You took out a Deathclaw nest? Either you're lying, or you're tougher than you look. 188AlexanderPcAchievements Still plenty of troubles out that way, though. Thanks for playing. 188AlexanderPcAchievements That's impressive - if you're telling the truth. 188AlexanderPcAchievements Still, it'll take some time for routes to readjust. I expect I'll be working from here for the foreseeable future. 188AlexanderSeeInventory [SUCCEEDED] You might be on to something. I like to hang on to any weapons mods I run across... 188AlexanderSeeInventory Take a look. 188AlexanderSeeInventory [FAILED] Do I look like a fucking arms caravan to you? 188AlexanderSeeInventory Do you think the Gun Runners keep the NCR military supplied by carrying weapons and ammo from the Boneyard out here by the armload? 188AlexanderSeeInventory Get a clue. We have caravans. We deal in bulk. 188AlexanderSeeInventory Take a look. 188AlexanderThreaten You like it any better if I tell you to fuck off? 188BuySell You got it. 188CivilianUnhappyBeggarNo Oh, you could. You just don't want to. 188CivilianUnhappyBeggarNo I understand. Sorry to be a bother. 188CivilianUnhappyBeggarNo But... Of course. It's all right. Thank you. 188CivilianUnhappyBeggarYes Thank you so much! I'm so hungry! 188CivilianUnhappyBeggarYes Sorry I had to bother you. I've... well, I've lost everything. 188CivilianUnhappyBeggarYes You're very kind. I wish... well, I'll just thank you and leave you be. 188ClayBuySell Oh, I don't sell things, mister. I sell {emph}thoughts. 188ClayBuySell Oh, I don't sell things, ma'am. I sell {emph}thoughts. 188ClayJunk That's not junk. That's other people's thoughts. People had to think to make them, and the thoughts got stuck inside. 188ClayJunk I need other people's thoughts to fill my head when I'm not thinking myself. Otherwise it's... kind of empty. 188ClayMedicineBuy Thinking hurts you, too? Aw, I wish I could let you have the one on my head but I can't. It hurts real bad when I don't wear it. 188ClayMedicineWhatIsIt This thing on my head is headache medicine. It works real good, except I can't think when it's on. {emphasize}Really think, I mean. 188ClayParentsWhere I don't have a mama or papa anymore. I see them sometimes when I take off my medicine, but they can't stay. I'm pretty used to being on my own. 188ClayPayForThoughts Great! What do you want me to think about? I can think about You, Here... or Everywhere. What do you want? 188ClayPayForThoughts Sure, I could do some more thinking. What should I do my thinking about this time? 188ClayPayForThoughts That's all right, mister. You will someday. 188ClayPayForThoughts That's all right, ma'am. You will someday. 188ClayPayForThoughts Sorry, sir. All that thinking has made my head hurt. I don't think I'll be doing any thinking for a long time. 188ClayPayForThoughts Sorry, ma'am. All that thinking has made my head hurt. I don't think I'll be doing any thinking for a long time. 188ClaySellThoughts I can take off my medicine and do some thinking. People say it's real interesting. I don't know, {'cause}because I never hear it. 188ClaySellThoughts Some people say that it's a gift. Other people say that it's the kind of thinking anyone could do if they watched more than they talked. 188ClaySellThoughts I don't know which is true. I see a lot, I think a lot. There's a lot to hear through the 188, too, that maybe accounts for the thinking. 188ClayThoughtsBigPicture Let me take off my medicine... 188ClayThoughtsBigPicture Bull and Bear over the Dam, at each other's throats... but a light from Vegas? Ball spinning on the wheel, more than two at the table, placing bets. 188ClayThoughtsBigPicture All lose in different ways, a dam of corpses, towns of corpses, scattered across the sand. But whose, in what shares? Even the dealer doesn't know. 188ClayThoughtsBigPicture Forecast: A rain of blood will flood the desert and not purify it. 188ClayThoughtsBigPicture Bleh. Thinking about Everywhere always makes me feel a little sick... 188ClayThoughtsChangeMind I thought you'd say that. 188ClayThoughtsHow So you convinced those NCR sons of bitches to take an interest, did you? Well, we need the help. I'll sign. 188ClayThoughtsHow Oh, I don't know anything, mister. I just think it, and then I don't. 188ClayThoughtsHow Oh, I don't know anything, ma'am. I just think it, and then I don't. 188ClayThoughtsPlayer Okay. Let me take off my medicine... 188ClayThoughtsPlayer {A little slower, more thoughtful}Your face does the thinking - two to the skull, yet one gets up. Odds are against you... but they're just numbers after the two-to-one. 188ClayThoughtsPlayer You're playing the hand you've been dealt, but you don't let it rest, you shuffle and stack, and a gamble... a gamble that may pay off? {Frowns}But how? 188ClayThoughtsPlayer Forecast: Rapidly changing conditions. 188ClayThoughtsPlayer {Frowns, resumes normal voice}A lot of thinking - most of it in your face, it's almost shouting at me. {Beat, slight apology}Sorry if I said anything weird. 188ClayThoughtsSmallPicture I need to take off my medicine... 188ClayThoughtsSmallPicture Local, local, the here and now... little of interest... things to buy, false hopes, and regrets watered down, washed down in dirty glasses. 188ClayThoughtsSmallPicture With regret comes a girl... smiling sad, brown robe, name Veronica, half here. Wraps her and her heart up like a pack, in the pack, a key, some say. 188ClayThoughtsSmallPicture {Slight upbeat at the end, different than the eeriness}Forecast: Cloudy, with a chance of friendship. 188ClayThoughtsSmallPicture {Frowns, winces}Ouch. Thinking small only hurts a little, but it's a sharp pain. 188MichelleAbout188 There's more to the 188 than meets the eye. Troops move back and forth on 93 all the time, and 95 is how NCR folks come and go from Vegas. 188MichelleAbout188 No shortage of customers... so long as Legion raids south of here don't get worse, anyways. 188MichelleAboutLegion Not much. I hear some folks got killed down by Nelson... or was it Novac? I don't know. If they come up this way, me and dad'll go someplace else. 188MichelleAboutSelf Name's Michelle. My Dad and me run this store. His name's Samuel. I take the day shift and he takes nights. 188MichelleAboutSelf We came here about a month ago, when Primm went to hell on account of the prison break north of there. Found a bin to call home and set up shop. 188MichelleBoastSavePrimm That's nice. I suspect we'll stick around here, though. Business has been good. 188MichelleBuySell Have a look. 188MichelleNumbers You do know these old roads were numbered, right? We're standing where the 95 and 93 meet. And 95 plus 93 equals... 188. 188SamuelAbout188Safety Well... There's been reports of trouble south, but me and Michelle can handle ourselves. And there's plenty of soldiers about, so that helps. 188SamuelAboutBusiness When 15 shut down, 95 became the route NCR citizens use to get to the Strip - or limp back home, after the Strip's drained 'em of caps. 188SamuelAboutBusiness We get 'em coming and going. Coming, the suckers flush with caps they saved to gamble on the Strip... 188SamuelAboutBusiness ...and going, the same folks, but now they're losers who'll trade you the shirt off their backs so they don't starve before they make it back home. 188SamuelAboutBusiness Add in the troopers marching back and forth from McCarran and the Dam, and well, let's just say we don't miss Primm. 188SamuelAboutPrimm Michelle and I ran a little shop in Primm 'till a prison break north of town spoiled it for everyone. Goddamned convicts just about shut down I-15. 188SamuelAboutPrimm When traffic dried up, we took to our heels to find us some customers. I'm not one to sit around waiting to get saved, and Michelle ain't, neither. 188SamuelAboutSelf Samuel Kerr at your service. Me and my daughter Michelle run this fine establishment. 188SamuelAboutSelf We came here from Primm about a month past. Doesn't look like much, but it's one hell of a location. 188SamuelBoastSavePrimm Guess that makes you a big hero - in Primm. Like I said, me and Michelle didn't sit around waiting to be saved. Business is better here, anyway. 188SamuelBuySell You bet. 188SamuelRepair Let me see what I can do. 1EExtraFiends1ECookCookTopic000 If I had to guess, it's because I cook shit for the rest of the gang. I'm a {draw this out}good cook. Maybe I'll make you dinner sometime. 1EExtraFiends1ECookCookTopic001 Goddamn right. 1EExtraFiends1ECookCookTopic002 {Even creepier baby talk}You are! Yes that's right! 1EExtraFiends1EDriverNephiTopic000 No, you fucking dolt! Why the hell would it be a pleasure?! 1EExtraFiends1EDriverNephiTopic001 And get the fuck away from me before I cave in your skull! 1EExtraFiends1EFiendVioletTopic000 No! Ha ha! More for me! 1EExtraFiends1EFiendVioletTopic001 Heh. Good. More for me. 1EExtraFiends1EFiendVioletTopic002 Sell? Sell?! My dogs! What part don't you get? Mine! Lucky they don't eat you alive for that! 1EExtraFiends1EFiendVioletTopic003 Arf arf! Ha ha! 1EExtraFiends1EFiendVioletTopic004 Hey! No feeding my dogs! AcceptYield Better not try that again.

AcceptYield What the hell were you thinking? AcceptYield Threat analysis... green. Standing down. AcceptYield I'm so relieved we can put that unpleasantness behind us. AcceptYield Surrender... accepted. AcceptYield Cheerio. Water under the bridge. AcceptYield Do that again and I'll put my foot so far up your ass you'll cough up boot polish! AcceptYield I'll forgive you. This time. AlertIdle Anybody there? AlertIdle Maybe I'm just jumpy. AlertIdle What was that? AlertIdle {Wary}Who's there? AlertIdle It's only a matter of time. AlertIdle We will find you! AlertIdle Come out and face your death! AlertIdle Reveal yourself and I promise the end will come quick. AlertIdle This grows tiresome.

AlertIdle {suspicious}Show yourself and I may let you live. AlertIdle {mild concern}I thought I heard something... AlertIdle Where'd you go, punk? AlertIdle Come out.

AlertIdle {suspicious}You won't escape me. AlertIdle {suspicious}Show yourself and I may let you live. AlertIdle {Curious Beep}
AlertIdle Don't make me come looking for you. AlertIdle You better hope I don't find you. AlertIdle Come out, if you dare. AlertIdle Save us both some time and come on out. AlertIdle Don't make me come looking for you. AlertIdle Just stay right where you are. I'll find you. AlertIdle Huh? AlertIdle What was that? AlertIdle Wuh? AlertIdle Hmm. AlertIdle Keep looking.

AlertIdle Hmm. AlertIdle I'm looking, I'm looking! AlertIdle Hope you're looking, boss, because I don't see so good. AlertIdle Anything moves, it's going to get it. AlertIdle Don't see a thing. AlertIdle Wish they'd show themselves. AlertIdle I don't see them anywhere, Leo! Do you? AlertIdle You can't hide from {gramma}grandma! AlertIdle If you don't come out soon, ooh, you're going to get such a paddling! AlertIdle I don't like this. AlertIdle Somethin' don't feel right. AlertIdle Hmm... AlertIdle I do believe I heard somethin'. AlertIdle Now what was that? AlertIdle Hmm? AlertIdle Come on out! AlertIdle What was that? AlertIdle Thought I heard something.

AlertToNormal Hmm. Nothing here after all. AlertToNormal Ah, just getting jumpy I guess. AlertToNormal Guess it was nothing. AlertToNormal All clear. AlertToNormal I've finished my sweep. Nothing to report. AlertToNormal Everyone back to your posts. AlertToNormal Something must be wrong with my suit's audio receptors. AlertToNormal Area secured. AlertToNormal Everything's quiet here. Heading back. AlertToNormal Someone must be fucking with me. AlertToNormal I was sure I heard something. AlertToNormal Goddamn, I must be tripping. AlertToNormal {shaking it off}Must've been nothing. AlertToNormal {shaking it off}Nothing here. AlertToNormal {shaking it off}I guess it was nothing. AlertToNormal Nothing out here. AlertToNormal Alright, just my imagination. AlertToNormal My mind is playing tricks on me. I gotta get laid. AlertToNormal Guess I'm seeing things. AlertToNormal Aw, forget this. AlertToNormal Guess it was just in my head. AlertToNormal Suspending search. AlertToNormal Canceling search. AlertToNormal Halting search. AlertToNormal {Tabitha}I think they left, Rhonda. AlertToNormal Must've been my imagination. AlertToNormal Whatever it was is gone now. AlertToNormal No sense wasting more time looking. AlertToNormal Just a noise. Gone now. AlertToNormal What was I doing again? Oh well. AlertToNormal Nothing there. Stupid noise fooled me. AlertToNormal Stupid ears. There's no noise out here. AlertToNormal Bah, searching is boring. AlertToNormal Guess it was nothing. AlertToNormal {shaking it off}I guess it was nothing. AlertToNormal {shaking it off}Must've been nothing. AlertToNormal {shaking it off}Nothing here. AlertToNormal {Sonar Beep}
AlertToNormal I must be going as crazy as ol' Rex. AlertToNormal Guess I'm hearing things. AlertToNormal Probably just a rat. AlertToNormal Bah, it's nothing. AlertToNormal I got better things to do than jump at noises. AlertToNormal Whatever. AlertToNormal {Frustrated}Nothing! AlertToNormal Stupid head voice go away again. AlertToNormal Just stupid head voice again. AlertToNormal I've got nothing. AlertToNormal Never mind. AlertToNormal Huh. Maybe I need some glasses that aren't two hundred years old. AlertToNormal Nothing here, I guess. AlertToNormal Gone now. AlertToNormal Meh. AlertToNormal Ah, forget it. AlertToNormal I worry too much. AlertToNormal Sorry, boss. Must be my glaucomas acting up again. AlertToNormal If you say you saw something, I'm sure it was there. AlertToNormal Nothing here, boss. AlertToNormal {To herself}Yeah, better run. {Beat}Uh, them, not us. AlertToNormal {Giving up}Not worth our time. AlertToNormal {Giving up}Nothing. Must be nerves. AlertToNormal Let's move on. AlertToNormal {Giving up, didn't see anything after all}Leo's playing tricks again. AlertToNormal {Giving up, didn't see anything after all}It's okay, sweetheart, there aren't any monsters out there. AlertToNormal {Giving up, didn't see anything after all}We're all alone now, pumpkin. AlertToNormal Just bugs I guess. AlertToNormal Get a grip, Doc. AlertToNormal Ears must be actin' up. AlertToNormal Seems my ears is playin' tricks on me. AlertToNormal Well I'm confounded. Must've been the wind. AlertToNormal Well I'm stumped. Guess it was nothin'. AlertToNormal Must've been nothing. AlertToNormal I've got better things to do. AlertToNormal Oh, well. AlertToNormal Need to stop jumping at shadows. AlertToNormal Huh... Oh, well. AlertToNormal Whatever it was, it's gone now. AlertToNormal Just a noise. AlertToNormal Just getting old, I guess. AlertToNormal Stupid deaf ear. AlertToNormal Must be hearing things again. AlertToNormal Scared me there for a second. AlertToNormal Guess there's nothing there. AlertToNormal God dammit... I guess it's nothin'. AlertToNormal Fine. I'll catch you next time. AlertToNormal Yeah that's right, I'd run away, too. AlertToNormal Ah, Gary. AlertToNormal Gaaary?` AlertToNormal Threat analysis: green. Standing down. AlertToNormal Threat analysis: green. Resuming standard patrol pattern. AlertToNormal Threat analysis: green. Security sweep canceled. AlertToNormal Oh well. Maybe next time you'll introduce yourself. AlertToNormal Why did you run away? I'm really not as scary as I look. AlertToNormal You shouldn't tease me like that. AlertToNormal All clear. AlertToNormal Area secure. AlertToNormal False alarm. Standing down. AlertToNormal Back to the usual daily tedium. AlertToNormal Thought as much. Nothing there after all. AlertToNormal Beastly nuisance. Glad that's done with. AlertToNormal Another glorious day in the U.S. army. AlertToNormal False alarm. Stand down, people. AlertToNormal Nothing I like better than a little R&R on Uncle Sam's dime. AliceMcBrideIntro Oh! Well I'm Alice and you've already met my beau, Dusty. He's sweet, ain't he? I don't care what my mama said, I know how to pick 'em. AliceMcBrideIntro Oh! Well I'm Alice and that handsome stranger yonder is my husband Dusty. Going on fifty years, now. AliceMcBrideIntro I keep waiting for him to leave me for some young thing with platinum blonde hair and hoop earrings, but he still sticks around. AliceMcBrideIntro Says it's my cooking. I think it's because I know which Brahmin udder you can milk without getting kicked in the noggin. AliceMcBrideIntro We set up this ranch years back when Novac was just getting settled. AliceMcBrideIntro But now with all the danger on I-15, folks are starting to come through here from all over. Novac might just be the next Nevada boom town. AliceMcBridePeopleWhoLiveHere Oh, we keep to ourselves, for the most part. Try not to pry. I think Jeannie May gets bothered that we aren't more sociable, but it's just our way. AliceMcBridePeopleWhoLiveHere Ain't that we don't appreciate what she's done, managing this town like she has, but I worry she feels that way anyhow. AliceMcBridePeopleWhoLiveHere Not that there ain't others who pry around here. That No-bark was skulking around our yard last week. AliceMcBridePeopleWhoLiveHere
I thought he was our cow-killer. Was about to lash him with our bullwhip till I saw who it was. He's harmless, though.
AliceMcBridePeopleWhoLiveHere Part of me wishes I could see things like he sees 'em, all full of mystery. AndersCross {In agony}Unh... Legion caught me. Said this... was the penalty for drug runners. Please... let me down. AndersCross A Legion patrol caught me trying to cross the river. When they found the, umm, package I was carrying, they strung me up there. AndersDrugs {In agony}Please... for the love of God, let me down! AndersDrugs Well, not exactly. More like... trying to expand our markets.

BeagleFollowStay Don't leave me here too long. I can't wait forever. BeagleFollowWeapon I just hope I won't have to use it! BeagleHostage Why, yes I am. It's a pleasure to meet you. BeagleHostage I'm in a bit of a predicament{per-dicament} here. I'd be most appreciative if you'd set me free. BeagleHostage Why, I am Deputy Beagle, and I am being held hostage. Can you imagine? BeagleHostage I'd be most grateful if you would set me free. BeagleHostage {Edited Line}I must say it's been the low point of my career in law enforcement... BeagleHostage The Powder Gangers stole into town at night and murdered my sister and her husband, the sheriff, in bed, while I was sleeping in the office. BeagleHostage I watched them for a bit, waiting for the right moment to pounce and arrest the lot of them. Taking careful notes as I watched. BeagleHostage To my dismay, they found me while I waited in the shadows and brought me here. BeagleHostageFleeNo Oh, that's so gracious of you, to offer to bodyguard me like that? But I'd only slow you down. See you outside! BeagleHostageFleeSpeech [FAILED] I know! It's incredibly generous and altruistic{alter-istic} of you. See you outside! BeagleHostageFleeSpeech [SUCCEEDED] Oh! Why, uh, of course! I would never let you fight my kidnappers with my help. Uh, without it! You lead the way! BeagleHostageFleeYes Then I'll defer to your superior appraisal of character and prowess in contests of arms and see you outside! BeagleHostageGoodby {sighs}I wonder what it's like to be able to get going" whenever you like." BeagleHostageGoodby I certainly hope so. It gets lonely down here on the floor. BeagleHostageLetGo Oh that's just marvelous. I think I'll be making my way outside now. The air's a little close in here. BeagleHostageNotYet No need to rush on my account. I lost feeling in my hands and legs hours ago. BeagleHostageNotYet Well, in that case I'll just wait for you right here. BeagleNewSheriffShouldThank Well, thank you {emphasis}so much, so {emphasis}very much, for ruining my life. BeagleNewSheriffWhatsWrong {Edited Line}My problem is that I'm no longer a deputy. I'm just a Beagle now. BeagleNewSheriffWhatsWrong Apparently two-and-a-half months of law enforcement experience doesn't count for anything. The new regime is just that - all new. BeagleNewSheriffWhatsWrong He's rude. Just don't tell him I said it. Primm has a sheriff now, just not as supportive as I would've hoped. BeagleNewSheriffWhatsWrong {Edited Line}My problem is that I'm no longer a deputy. I'm just a Beagle now. BeagleNewSheriffWhatsWrong Apparently two-and-a-half months of law enforcement experience doesn't count for anything. The new regime is just that: all new. BeagleNewSheriffWhatsWrong He's a good sheriff but a hard man. He doesn't abide by anyone slinking by the rules. I guess there won't be any trouble, but the man's law is hard. BeagleNewSheriffWhatsWrong {Edited Line}My problem is that I'm no longer a deputy. I'm just a Beagle now. BeagleNewSheriffWhatsWrong Slimm is alright, I don't wish him no harm, but the law to him is a set of logic. BeagleNewSheriffWhatsWrong Not everything is black and white, not sure a robot can ever understand that. BeagleSheriffBeagle Oh no! I'm just the deputy. And I can't be a deputy without a sheriff. It's called chain of command! BeagleSheriffGoodbye But - but the town doesn't have a Sheriff! I don't have an employer, and that means I don't have a job. BeagleSheriffGoodbye If you think you might be able to help, come find me. I thank you for all you've done. BeagleSheriffGoodbye Maybe next time you can bring a new sheriff back with you! BeagleSheriffGoodbye All right. Goodbye. BeagleSheriffNeeded It should be someone brave like you, but more of a homebody. Someone who'll settle down and watch over us. BeagleSheriffNeeded I heard the Powder Gangers talking about someone in the prison named Meyers who has some experience as a sheriff. He may be a good choice. BeagleSheriffNeeded Also with the NCR so close by, you may be able to get them to take over the town. Not sure why they haven't helped out already. BeagleSheriffNo I know what it's like to have a busy schedule, but surely you can squeeze this in. BeagleSheriffNo If you run across someone whose bearing and experience screams sheriff BeagleSheriffStillLooking I do thank you so kindly for your efforts. BeagleSherrifYes You will? That's just marvelous! I'll start thinking up questions for the interview! BeagleSherrifYes The sheriff that was incarcerated up at NCRCF may be a good choice. BeagleSherrifYes You also may be able to convince that NCR guy across the road to take the town under his wing, although martial law doesn't sound so fun. BertFollowers I surely am. Well, sort of. I came out from Utah about six months back, saw a need for my help here. BertFollowers The Followers weren't too happy about that, of course. They haven't been too fond of the NCR for a while, but I go where I'm needed. BertHelp I give what aid and comfort I can. I have medical knowledge thanks to my time with the Followers. BertIntro Well, that's an interesting question. Among the Church, I'm called Elder Gunnarsson. The Followers call me Doc."" BertIntro You can call me Bert, though. BertNephi I never was able to reach him. He has allowed drugs and hatred to consume him. He runs with the Fiends north of here, now. They call him Driver Nephi. BertRefugees Poor lost souls, most of them. They thought to come to New Vegas and find their fortunes on its shining Strip. BertRefugees But the journey is often long, and the price to enter the city is steep. Those who could not pay ended up here, hoping to earn the caps they need. BertRefugees Some find honest labor, but more fritter away what little they've saved on crooked gambling and cheap liquor. Still, I minister to them as I can. BertUtah Following a lost cause, I'm afraid. My old friend Nephi fell in with a bad crowd. BertUtah Drug runners, raiders, probably worse things it's better not to dwell on. When his gang headed west, I followed. BertUtah I thought perhaps I could turn him back to the Church. BillyKnightComedy If you believe my mother, since she first laid eyes on me. First thing she said was Boy! That's a funny-looking kid!"" BillyKnightComedy I guess I got a face only a mother could love, because nobody else would give me the time of day. BillyKnightComedy Maybe you can help me, see, I can never tell when it's lunchtime. BillyKnightIntro The name's Knight. Billy Knight. And this here is what a lifelong career in comedy will get you. BillyKnightWork Yeah? Hey, you're all right! Tell him I'll do it for a hundred a night! No! Fifty! No, twenty! Ten! BillyKnightWork Just don't rob me, and I'll do it! BillyKnightWork Hey, I'm just happy to get any kind of work I can. BitterSpringsTroopers {Baffled, this is a bizarre request}What? Why on earth would you think you can walk in here and make troop deployment recommendations to me? BitterSpringsTroopers I appreciate your concern for Bitter Springs. You've already been quite helpful to the NCR, I suppose it's only right to return the favor. BitterSpringsTroopers {Thoughtful}Well, you have been a great help here, and with the saboteur dealt with... Yes, I think we can spare a few men. Consider it done. BitterSpringsTroopers {Angry drill sergeant}Who the hell are you, coming in here and asking me if I can spare any?" I don't hand out NCR troopers to anybody who wanders out of the Wasteland!" BitterSpringsTroopers {Gruff but pleased}Hey, you're a damn fine soldier, and word on the grapevine is that you're already some kind of hero. You got yourself a deal. BitterSpringsTroopers {Gruff but pleased}After what you did getting my misfits whipped into shape? Yeah, I can spare a couple of boys for Bitter Springs. I'll issue the dispatch orders. BitterSpringsTroopers {Cool, slightly annoyed}Sorry, I'm not in the habit of letting random civilians dictate my troop deployment schedule. BitterSpringsTroopers {Calm}I'll be honest, the Legion has me worried here, but I think I can spare some soldiers. Consider your request granted. BitterSpringsTroopers {Calm}You handled yourself well against the Legion, and that took some of the pressure off of us. I'll send a couple of troops out there right now. BMNeilAskDanger You must've heard her radio broadcasts? Though why a human would follow her invitation here is beyond me... unless you didn't listen very closely. BMNeilAskDanger The voice on the radio belongs to Tabitha, the supreme commander" of Black Mountain - or BMNeilAskDanger She took control of this place almost two years ago. The Super Mutants here do whatever she says - and she says humans are to be killed on sight. BMNeilAskDetails The road is a series of switchbacks up to the peak. There are three blockades, plus patrols. Sneaking past them would be... difficult. BMNeilAskDetails Just before the peak is a kind of shanty village. More second-gens there. And then there's Tabitha's compound - heavily guarded by her Nightkin. BMNeilAskDetails The road is a series of switchbacks up to the peak. There are three blockades, plus patrols. Sneaking past them would be... difficult. BMNeilAskDetails Just before the peak is a kind of shanty village. More second-gens there. And then there's Tabitha's compound - heavily guarded by her Nightkin. BMNeilAskForHelpSpeech [SUCCEEDED] Help would improve the odds. Help might just make the difference... BMNeilAskForHelpSpeech All right, if you're good enough at what you do to meet me in the village up near the peak, we can talk further. BMNeilAskForHelpSpeech I'll have a plan by the time I see you - if I see you. Good luck. It's going to be a lot harder for you to get up there than it will be for me. BMNeilAskForHelpSpeech [FAILED] Hmm. While your enthusiasm is... admirable, I think I'd best stay here so I can warn other travelers. BMNeilAskHistory For years, Black Mountain was a peaceful community. Its leader, Marcus, broadcast an invitation to Mutants throughout the wasteland. BMNeilAskHistory That's how I found Black Mountain. So did others, most of them second generation Mutants. Marcus welcomed everyone - that was his mistake. BMNeilAskHistory The community ended up being mostly second gen - not very bright, but easy to influence. Fine, until the Nightkin came along, led by Tabitha... BMNeilAskHistory In a week she had most of the second-gens thinking she was some kind of prophet - and that she should be broadcasting her truth BMNeilAskHistory Marcus saw what was coming and decided to leave before things got out of hand. He smashed the radio and left to found Jacobstown. BMNeilAskJacobstown The opposite of Black Mountain! A stable community of Mutants, mostly, led by a mentally stable leader. BMNeilAskJacobstown Humans are welcome there, so long as they behave themselves. Look northwest of Red Rock Canyon if you want to find it. BMNeilAskMutantsWereMade Yes... And it's not something I care to discuss with one of your kind. BMNeilAskMutantsWereMade If you have some insatiable curiosity about the matter, talk to Marcus in Jacobstown. He's more patient with such questions than I am. BMNeilAskNightkin The Nightkin are vicious in combat, and that's if you see them coming. Most don't. BMNeilAskNightkin They were created to be soldiers, and given devices to camouflage them in battle. Unfortunately, the devices drove most of them mad over time. BMNeilAskNightkin They spend most of their time at the top of the mountain, but patrol the roads after dark as well. You'd do well to avoid the mountain at night. BMNeilAskRadio Heh. There's a sad story behind that. Marcus smashed it just fine, but while we were gone some Ghoul named Raul came along. BMNeilAskRadio Tabitha turned him into her personal mechanic. A slave, really. See, if I'd been standing down here, I could've warned him before it was too late. BMNeilAskSelf Marcus sent me here a couple of months ago to check on Black Mountain. I suppose you could say I came here as a spy. BMNeilAskSelf But with no signs of Tabitha's weakening, and none of the second-gens ready to revolt or to come to Jacobstown, there wasn't much I could do. BMNeilAskSelf Down here, on the other hand, I've saved a dozen Mutants from heading up the mountain. It's not much, but it's something. BMNeilAskSelf I have my own reasons to stay away from Jacobstown for a while - reasons we won't be discussing - so I've stayed here. BMNeilDistractsNightkin There's a human down the path. Tabitha's orders are to kill all human intruders. Go! BMNeilFriendly Keep saying things like that, and I won't be so friendly. Not every Super Mutant is a brain-damaged brute. BMNeilFriendly Many of us are just as intelligent as basic humans - and the rest don't really have any choice in the matter, do they? BMNeilFriendlyMovingOn Yes, that's exactly what I'm telling you to do. Move on. BMNeilFriendlySorry And none taken... since you apologized. BMNeilFriendlyToughShit Of course. Sorry I bothered you. Enjoy your travels. BMNeilHeadUpMountain Yes, I hear that sometimes. And then I never see the people who said it again. BMNeilHeadUpMountain You do look like someone who can take care of himself. But I think you'll find this is more than you bargained for... BMNeilHeadUpMountain You do look like someone who can take care of herself. But I think you'll find this is more than you bargained for... BMNeilOffToJacobstown I still have a job to do here. Some Mutants may have heard Tabitha's broadcasts and are headed here even as we speak. BMNeilOffToJacobstown I'll remain and direct any who show up toward Jacobstown, where they'll be much better off. BMNeilSupMutantGens Not all Super Mutants were created equal. Or at the same time, or for the same purpose. BMNeilSupMutantGens The first generation tends to be smarter, stronger, and... more civilized, I suppose you could say, than the ones made later, save the Nightkin. BMNeilVillageAgree Good luck. We're going to need it. BMNeilVillageDisagree Yes, so try to stay out of sight, because they'll be coming this way. BMNeilVillageNotReady Whatever you need to do, be quick about it. BMNeilVillageReadyForMob Here's the plan. The gate to Tabitha's compound is guarded by several Nightkin, all of them using devices that make them invisible. BMNeilVillageReadyForMob I'm going to draw them away from the gate by telling them I spotted an intruder in the village. Then you slip in. BMRaulGoodbye If by some chance you want to find me again, and if by some even greater chance coyotes haven't picked my bones clean, I'll be at my shack. BMRaulJoinMe Anything's better than staying here. Let's go. BMRaulJoinMe Sorry boss, but as much as I'd like to risk getting killed by your side, you seem to already have some help. BMRaulOkayByMe Alrighty then, I'll just head out. Alone. By myself. Into the dangerous wastes. BMRhondaBadReunion Oh no! Miss Tabitha is hurt! Someone, get a doctor! BMRhondaBadReunion There, there Miss Tabitha. It's going to be all right. BMRhondaBadReunion Miss Tabitha, your distinct lack of respiration is quite worrisome. BMRhondaBadReunion That's good, Miss Tabitha. It's important that you don't move. You might aggravate your injury. BMRhondaBadReunion Where is that doctor? BMRhondaBadReunion Don't worry, Miss Tabitha, I'll keep you warm with my exhaust. BMRhondaBadReunion I do hope the doctor doesn't get lost on the way up here. BMRhondaGreeting Hello. Could you please direct me to mistress Tabitha? BMRhondaGreeting I wonder what mistress Tabitha has been doing with herself during my convalescence. BMRhondaGreeting It is so good to be traveling with mistress Tabitha again! BMRhondaGreetsTabitha It is, Mistress Tabitha. How I've missed you so. This stranger here fixed me up right as rain. Is he a friend of yours? BMRhondaGreetsTabitha It is, Mistress Tabitha. How I've missed you so. This stranger here fixed me up right as rain. Is she a friend of yours? BMRhondaLetsGoTabitha Mistress Tabitha, we should be heading off. Our journey has been much delayed, but we can catch up if we hurry. Come along, now. BMRhondaNo Nevertheless, I must find her, so I'll just tag along with you for a bit until I pick up her trail. BMRhondaTabithaReunion It pleases me to see you, mistress. I owe my functional state to this human here. BMRhondaYes Thank you very much. My internal clock says it's been 6 years, 52 days, 40 minutes, and 13 seconds since I last spoke to her. BMRhondaYes I hope she hasn't gotten lonely. BMTabithaCornersPlayer {Tabitha}R-Rhonda? Is that you? BMTabithaDishHutGetHim There's an intruder in the dish hut!

BMTabithaWhatNow I don't know... it's been so long since I lost Rhonda, that I'm not sure... BMTabithaYesRhonda Yes, Rhonda. BoomerCook Here is what we have available. BoomerCook I bet you would, but Pearl didn't give me permission to sell to outsiders. BoomerCook2 Bye. BruceIsaacBishops Oh, well, that's all just a big misunderstanding, see. BruceIsaacBishops Mr. Bishop, well, he owed me a lot of money, and, y'know, he's a busy guy, so I sort of figured I'd just...take it off his hands. BruceIsaacNewReno You don't know Mr. Bishop. He's not like the other bosses up there. He knows the Wasteland like the back of his hand, and he likes to wander it. BruceIsaacNewReno I knew if I didn't get way the hell away from New Reno, he'd run me down like a dog. BruceIsaacTops Really? The Tops, huh? Well, it's no Shark Club, but I hear security on the Strip is real tight. Even Mr. Bishop wouldn't hit a joint like that. BruceIsaacTops I'll check it out. Thanks! CalamityToDoctorHenry01 Stealth field is stable, and the readings are clean. Gamma wave activity is... {puzzled}zero? Odd, but everything looks right. CalamityToDoctorHenry01 The stealth field is unstable and scrambling things. This reading says gamma wave activity is zero, but that can't possibly be right. CalamityToDoctorHenry01 Gamma wave activity is... {puzzled}zero? That can't be right. Must be a result of the interference. CaptainGillesAid {Relieved}At this point, I'll take anything you can give me. We need more troops, fresh supplies, and medical relief. CaptainGillesAid As if that wasn't enough, someone's been coming out of the mountains at night, stealing supplies and picking off my people. CaptainGillesAid {Relieved}At this point, I'll take anything you can give me. We need more troops, fresh supplies, and medical relief. CaptainGillesAid {Worried}Someone's been coming out of the mountains at night, stealing supplies and picking off my people. CaptainGillesCamp This is the Bitter Springs refugee camp. We've been maintaining it for a few years now, ever since Caesar's Legion started seriously pushing west. CaptainGillesCamp Most of the people here were displaced by the Legion's advance. At first there weren't many, but lately it's been more than we can handle. CaptainGillesCamp {Grateful}Thanks to your help, I think Bitter Springs has a real shot at surviving. I can't offer you much of a reward, but know that the NCR is very grateful. CaptainGillesCamp {Grateful}Thanks to your help, I think Bitter Springs has a real shot at surviving. Thank you again. CaptainGillesOscar You did? Who was it? Any information you can give me would be a big help for my reports. CaptainGillesOscar I appreciate the information, but I really wasn't kidding when I said I didn't have the manpower. If you could deal with him, I'd be in your debt. CaptainGillesRadioactiveSupplies Where did you get this? You know what, it doesn't even matter. Thank you. This will be a tremendous help. CaptainGillesRadioactiveSuppliesScience [SUCCEEDED] We do have some spare Rad-X in the supply tent. That might work. Thank you. CaptainGillesRadioactiveSuppliesScience [FAILED] You know, I appreciate the help but... we'll pass on those. Thanks. CaptainGillesSupplies Where did you get these? You know what, it doesn't even matter. Thank you. These will be a tremendous help. CaptainGillesSupplies Where did you get this? You know what, it doesn't even matter. It doesn't completely solve our problems, but it goes a long way. CaptainGillesSupplies Again, thank you, this is a huge help. CaptainParkerArrest Keith! In the name of the NCR, I'm placing you under arrest for illicit gambling and the sale of unlicensed chems. CaptainParkerArrest Keith! In the name of the NCR, I'm placing you under arrest for the sale of unlicensed chems. CaptainParkerArrest Keith! In the name of the NCR, I'm placing you under arrest for illicit gambling. CaptainParkerArrest Come quietly now, I don't want to have to hurt you. CaptainParkerArrest You son of a bitch! CaptGillesFlag {Confused and annoyed by a spectacularly dumb question}Of course I'm aware. It's a distress call. This camp is in bad shape, and if we don't get relief soon, I don't know what will happen. CaptGillesFlag {Worried}It's a distress call. This camp is in bad shape, and if we don't get relief soon, I don't know what will happen. CaravanOffer All right, let's play. CaravanOffer A fellow enthusiast, huh? That's great! Let's play. CaravanOffer Sure. Old No-bark is always looking to play. Not for entertainment, mind you, but because if you look at the cards right you can know the future. CaravanOffer Damn straight I would! Let's see what you got. CaravanOffer Bring it on, buddy! CaravanOffer I always have time for a good game of Caravan. I hope you're up to the challenge. CaravanOffer A fascinating proposition. Naturally, my considerable genius makes me a master of the game, so try not to be disappointed if you lose miserably. CaravanOffer You betcha! Caravan's got me through many a long night before. I hope you're ready. CaravanOffer You think you have what it takes, kid? CaravanOffer All right, let's see what you got. CaravanOffer I'm going to roll over you. CaravanPlayerLoses That was too easy. How about we play again and this time you actually try. CaravanPlayerLoses No-bark wins! A few more like that and the curse'll get lifted for sure. CaravanPlayerLoses Don't take it to heart. I've studied the strategies of the masters. CaravanPlayerLoses {Laughs}Nice try. Care to try your luck again? CaravanPlayerLoses It looks like you need a bit more practice. Another lesson perhaps? CaravanPlayerLoses I am unsurprised regarding your appalling lack of talent. Perhaps you'd care to try another hand? After all, you can only improve. CaravanPlayerLoses Here I was thinking you'd be a challenge, want a rematch? CaravanPlayerLoses {Laughs}Nice try. Let's play another game. CaravanPlayerWins Dammit. I should have won that match. Let's play again. CaravanPlayerWins Dang it! Shoulda known you was getting caravan hints from the bloatfly spirits what live in these parts. CaravanPlayerWins Well I'll be cold and rotting before I let them get the best of me. Let's go again. CaravanPlayerWins Huh. I wonder where I went wrong. Let's try that again. CaravanPlayerWins Not too bad. How about we play again? CaravanPlayerWins Impressive. That was a very good game. Would you care to play again? CaravanPlayerWins Well now, this is an unexpected variable. You really must let me challenge you to a rematch, so I can analyze what passes for your strategy. CaravanPlayerWins Dammit, I thought I had you there. Let's play again. CaravanPlayerWins Wow, you're good. Give me another game. CaravanRematchNo I'll be here if you ever want a rematch. CaravanRematchNo Dang it, No-bark, just when you was making a friend. CaravanRematchNo Shucks, well, let's do it again sometime. CaravanRematchNo Okay. If you want to play again sometime, let me know. CaravanRematchNo Another time then, perhaps. CaravanRematchNo As you wish. Once you've salved your battered ego, perhaps you'll make another go of it. CaravanRematchNo You know where to find me if you want to play again. CaravanRematchNo What? Afraid to lose. Well come find me if you want to play again. CaravanRematchYes I hope you're ready for this. CaravanRematchYes No more magic spells this time. CaravanRematchYes I've got a good feeling about this hand. CaravanRematchYes Let's get this started! CaravanRematchYes Excellent. Let the game begin! CaravanRematchYes Very well. I would wish you luck, but of course peerless intellect is all that matters here. CaravanRematchYes Ok, hope you're ready to lose. CaravanRematchYes Let the Caravan Lesson begin. ChallengePlayer An outsider! In the bunker! ChallengePlayer Imposter! ChrisHavIntercomGoodbye Let's hope you do. ChrisHavIntercomGoodbye Stop wasting time. ChrisHavIntercomGoodbye Get moving. ChrisHavIntercomUpstairsGoodbye Hurry up. ChrisHavIntercomWhere Like I said, find the metal staircase in the big room on the east side of the building. It's where they used to make rockets. ChrisHavIntercomWhere Big room. Metal staircase. East side of the building. Is that too many syllables for you? ChrisHavIntercomWho Who I am doesn't matter, smoothskin. Stop wasting time and get up here. ChrisHavLabBetraySabotageNo What, you think I'm too stupid to pull it off? I know enough to get their rockets working, don't I? So I can make them fail, too! ChrisHavLabBetraySabotageNo Like I could forgive myself for getting duped like this? They used me! And now they'll throw me away! ChrisHavLabBetraySabotageNo And dying would be worse than this? Used up and thrown away like garbage? ChrisHavLabBetraySabotageNo Oh, so I've redeemed the human race, is that it? What a crock! The human race can't stand me! ChrisHavLabBetraySabotageNo So you want me to accompany you on your adventures across the wasteland, is that it? ChrisHavLabBetraySabotageNo Life among humans again, that's what you're suggesting? ChrisHavLabBetraySabotageNo I guess... I guess it's the only chance I've got. ChrisHavLabBetraySabotageNo I can't believe I'm agreeing to this, but I'll give it a try. I'll get Jason and his flock on their way, and then I'll head for Novac. ChrisHavLabBetraySabotageNo Life among humans again, that's what you're suggesting? ChrisHavLabBetraySabotageNo I guess... I guess it's the only chance I've got. Maybe it'll be different this time. I was never a Saint before. ChrisHavLabBetraySabotageNo I can't believe I'm agreeing to this, but I'll give it a try. You go launch the rockets. I'm on my way to Novac. ChrisHavLabBetraySabotageYes Then bring me Sugar Bombs. Three boxes should do the trick. Add those to the fuel mixture and Boom!"" ChrisHavLabBetraySabotageYes I'll show those rotten ghouls! And they'll know exactly who did them in! ChrisHavLabBetraySabotageYes Then bring me Sugar Bombs. Three boxes should do the trick. Add those to the fuel mixture and Boom!"" ChrisHavLabBetraySabotageYes I'll show those rotten ghouls! And they'll know exactly who did them in! ChrisHavLabBetraySugarBombs I said I need three boxes of Sugar Bombs, not less than three. ChrisHavLabBetraySugarBombs I'll mix the Sugar Bombs into the fuel mixture before they launch. They'll never suspect a thing... until it's too late. ChrisHavLabBetraySugarBombs I'll mix the Sugar Bombs into the fuel mixture before they launch. They'll never suspect a thing... until it's too late. ChrisHavLabBetraySugarBombs But first I'll need the other parts we talked about. ChrisHavLabGetFuel Very well. We don't need a huge amount. Two to three liters should be enough. ChrisHavLabGetParts All right. Anything else? ChrisHavLabGoodbye All right. I'll be here, obviously. ChrisHavLabGoodbye Fine. Just get me those Sugar Bombs. ChrisHavLabGoodbye Come back when you've found the igniting agent. ChrisHavLabGoodbye Come back when you've tracked down the thrust control modules. ChrisHavLabGoodbye Great, let's do everything when it's convenient for you. ChrisHavLabGoodbyeSpeech Quiet. ChrisHavLabGoodbyeSpeech Quiet! ChrisHavLabHaveFuel Yes, that's the stuff. And the container's shielding must be intact, or you'd be dead by now. ChrisHavLabHaveFuel You already brought me the thrust control modules, so all that's needed now is three boxes of Sugar Bombs. ChrisHavLabHaveFuel Yes, that's the stuff. And the container's shielding must be intact, or you'd be dead by now. ChrisHavLabHaveFuel Now all I need is the thrust control modules and three boxes of Sugar Bombs. ChrisHavLabHaveFuel Yes, that's the stuff. And the container's shielding must be intact, or you'd be dead by now. ChrisHavLabHaveFuel Yes, that's the stuff. And the container's shielding must be intact, or you'd be dead by now. ChrisHavLabHaveFuel Now all I need is the thrust control modules. ChrisHavLabHaveFuelSouvenir Yes, that's Isotope-239, all right. And there's enough here to launch the rockets. ChrisHavLabHaveFuelSouvenir You already brought me the thrust control modules, so all I need now is three boxes of Sugar Bombs. ChrisHavLabHaveFuelSouvenir Yes, that's Isotope-239, all right. And there's enough here to launch the rockets. ChrisHavLabHaveFuelSouvenir Now all I need is the thrust control modules and three boxes of Sugar Bombs. ChrisHavLabHaveFuelSouvenir Let me see. Yes, that's the igniting agent! But we'll need more of these souvenirs. A total of five should do it... ChrisHavLabHaveFuelSouvenir Yes, that's Isotope-239, all right. And there's enough here to launch the rockets. ChrisHavLabHaveFuelSouvenir Yes, that's Isotope-239, all right. And there's enough here to launch the rockets. ChrisHavLabHaveFuelSouvenir Now all I need is the thrust control modules. ChrisHavLabHaveParts Indeed you did. And they seem to be in excellent condition. ChrisHavLabHaveParts You already found the igniting agent, so all I need now is three boxes of Sugar Bombs. ChrisHavLabHaveParts Indeed you did. And they seem to be in excellent condition. ChrisHavLabHaveParts I still need the igniting agent, of course. And three boxes of Sugar Bombs. ChrisHavLabHaveParts Indeed you did. And they seem to be in excellent condition. ChrisHavLabHaveParts Indeed you did. And they seem to be in excellent condition. ChrisHavLabHaveParts All I need now is the igniting agent we discussed earlier. ChrisHavLabHaveParts Indeed you did. And they seem to be in excellent condition. ChrisHavLabHaveParts All I need now is the igniting agent we discussed earlier. ChrisHavLabIntercom That's none of your business, smoothskin! ChrisHavLabIntercom I already told you how to get up here. Big room on the east side of the first floor. Take the stairs up. Got it? ChrisHavLabIntercom That's none of your business, smoothskin! ChrisHavLabIntercom Jason was very clear. Get rid of the demons, then report back. He didn't tell you to poke around down there. Got it? ChrisHavLabKeepTalking All right. Go on. ChrisHavLabPathetic Leave me alone! Everyone else does! ChrisHavLabReadyToHelp To sabotage the rockets, I'll still need a quantity of the igniting agent. ChrisHavLabReadyToHelp To sabotage the rockets, I'll still need the thrust control modules. ChrisHavLabReadyToHelp To sabotage the rockets, I'll still need to get them ready for launch. I still need a quantity of the igniting agent and the thrust control modules. ChrisHavLabReadyToHelp For the fuel source, any shielded nuclear waste should do the trick. That's why we can't use the waste on the launch pad. Too much decay. ChrisHavLabReadyToHelp As for the computer parts, the thruster control systems aren't complicated, so any good mix of components is all I need. ChrisHavLabReadyToHelp I was close to completing work on the rockets before we were driven into hiding on the top floor. ChrisHavLabReadyToHelp Two components were missing: a quantity of Isotope-239 igniting agent, and a set of thrust control modules. ChrisHavLabReadyToHelp The igniting agent is highly radioactive, and decays quickly. That's why we can't use the drums that leaked down on the launch pad. ChrisHavLabReadyToHelp It's no longer potent enough. I need you to find an intact, shielded container of the igniting agent. ChrisHavLabReadyToHelp As for the thrust control modules, they were custom-built for these rockets. They won't even launch without them. ChrisHavLabReadyToHelp As I said before, I need an intact, shielded container of Isotope-239 igniting agent, and a set of thrust control modules. ChrisHavLabRocketsReady Yes, that's everything. I'll tell Jason the rockets are ready. It's time to get this over with. ChrisHavLabRocketsReady Yes. I'll tell Jason that the Great Journey can begin. ChrisHavLabTaskChange All right. What would you rather be doing? ChrisHavLabTaskChange All right. What would you rather be doing? ChrisHavLabTaskHints REPCONN has been ransacked so many times by scavengers, it's hard to know where the components might turn up. IF they turn up. ChrisHavLabTaskHints Jason has mentioned some industrial ruins to the east that are supposed to be highly radioactive. ChrisHavLabTaskHints I'd start by visiting local junk merchants or traders and see if that turns anything up. ChrisHavLabTaskHints Scavengers wouldn't know the value of the modules just by looking at them. If you know any junk dealers in the area, I'd start there. ChrisHavLabTaskSame All right. Carry on. ChrisHavLabWhatIsThisPlace Obviously. It's taken months, but I've nearly got them in working order. Soon they'll take us to the Far Beyond. ChrisHavLabWhatIsThisPlace I was skeptical at first, of course - being a man of science - but Jason is certain, and I believe in Jason. ChrisHavLabYoureNoGhoul I'm the flock's resident engineer. I've always been good with machines. Jason says the Great Journey would've been impossible without me. ChrisHavLabYoureNoGhoul Of course, my skills aren't much use unless I have the right materials. That's where you come in. ChrisHavLabYoureNoGhoul When I joined the flock, Jason made it clear that he wanted me to supervise the repairs, not do them myself. ChrisHavLabYoureNoGhoul It would be a waste of my gifts to work on just one system at a time. From up here, I've been able to supervise the entire project. ChrisHavLabYoureNoGhoul I thought we were past all that, smoothskin. But you just can't resist the chance to mess with me. Typical human. ChrisHavLabYoureNoGhoul I was human once, you know. Grew up in Vault 34, northeast of here. ChrisHavLabYoureNoGhoul Nice upbringing, if you like assault rifles and target practice. But oh, you prefer machines that don't shoot people? Not so nice then. ChrisHavLabYoureNoGhoul Who should maintain the Vault's reactor? Houser? Mitchell? No - make it Haversam. He likes machines! ChrisHavLabYoureNoGhoul Haversam won't mind getting irradiated! Haversam won't mind mutating! He's already ugly as it is! ChrisHavLabYoureNoGhoul Haversam won't mind when his hair starts falling out after a few years. There's no connection, Haversam! You're neurotic! ChrisHavLabYoureNoGhoul Bald? You call this bald, smoothskin? I'm a monster! A monster! ChrisHavLabYoureNoGhoul Stop making fun of me! But you're telling the truth, aren't you? ChrisHavLabYoureNoGhoul Oh no! How could they do this to me? For two years? My god, I've been a joke to them! ChrisHavLabYoureNoGhoul Do you have any idea how easy it'd be for me to sabotage those rockets? That'd be a joke, huh? One hell of a joke! ChrisHavLabYoureNoGhoul [SUCCEEDED] Oh god! You're telling me the truth, aren't you...? ChrisHavLabYoureNoGhoul Oh no! How could they do this to me? For two years? My god, I've been a joke to them! ChrisHavLabYoureNoGhoul Do you have any idea how easy it'd be for me to sabotage those rockets? That'd be a joke, huh? One hell of a joke! ChrisHavLabYoureNoGhoul [FAILED] I see your ploy, smoothskin. I won't fall for your trap. You can plainly see that I'm a ghoul myself. You can't turn me against my flock. ChrisHavNovacConfessSabotage You bastard! Those ghouls declared me a Saint! ChrisHavNovacMechFailure I suppose there was always that risk. It's just that Jason was so certain... ChrisHavTalksDuringSpeech What? ChrisHavTalksDuringSpeech No. No, no, no! ChrisHavTalksDuringSpeech How could I... Stupid! Oh god... ChrisHavTellsJasonGoodToGo Hey Jason, your rockets are ready! ChrisHavTellsJasonReady The rockets are ready, Jason. The Great Journey can begin. Good luck, I guess. ChrisHavTellsJasonReady The rockets are ready, Jason... ready to carry you and your little clan on the Great Journey." Bon voyage." ChrisHavTellsJasonReady We have everything we need to launch the rockets, Jason! The Great Journey can begin! ChrisHavUpsGoodbye Stay away from me. ChrisHavUpsGoodbye Good riddance. ChrisHavUpsGoodbye Good idea. ChrisHavUpsHello Your pranks won't work on me, smoothskin. They won't work on Jason, either. ChrisHavUpsHello Stop wasting my time, smoothskin. Go waste Jason's. ChrisHavUpsWhoIsJason Jason is the prophet. The only reason you're up here is because he wants to talk to you. ChrisHavUpsWhoIsJason I guess he had visions that a smoothskin would stop by. ChupacabraNightkinCrazyMuttering No! I won't do it! ChupacabraNightkinCrazyMuttering Shhh. Shhh. Can't sleep. Can't sleep. Shhh. ChupacabraNightkinCrazyMuttering Stop it, stop it, stop it! ChupacabraNightkinCrazyMuttering Stay in control. Stay in control. ChupacabraNightkinCrazyMuttering Not real. Don't look. Not real. ChupacabraNightkinToCows Stop talking to me! ChupacabraNightkinToCows Leave me alone! ChupacabraNightkinToCows Get outta my head! CliffBriscoeBarterCheck [SUCCEEDED] Okay, I admit it. They've been collecting dust since before I got here. You can have them dirt cheap. CliffBriscoeBarterFail [FAILED] Are you kidding me? I can't ship these things fast enough. People love them! CliffBriscoeBuyCollection Really? I never thought I'd see the day. CliffBriscoeBuyCollection I mean... the day I'd part with them for such an incredibly low price. With so many other offers flooding in. CliffBriscoeBuyCollection But I like you. I think maybe it's time. All that's left is in this storage room here. You can buy the key from my store. CliffBriscoeBuyDinoSouvenir Great. Here you go! CliffBriscoeBuyRocketSouvenir Really? I mean, that's great! I'm sure you'll be quite pleased with it. CliffBriscoeHaveGuns Guns? I, uh, well... yeah, I guess I might have a few. CliffBriscoeHaveGuns Darn it. No one ever buys the t-rexes. CliffBriscoeJeannieMaySentMe Bless her. Seems like every traveler I get in here tells me the same thing. CliffBriscoeJeannieMaySentMe They see the sign and think, gift shop? That's just too good to be true. But Jeannie May always points them back in my direction. CliffBriscoeJeannieMaySentMe Well, a friend of Jeannie's is a friend of mine. And my friends get a discount at my store. CliffBriscoeJustBecause You just... did it? Just like that, on a whim? CliffBriscoeJustBecause Well listen, sir, if something like that crosses your mind about me, please let me know. I'm sure we can work something out. CliffBriscoeJustBecause Will there be anything else? CliffBriscoeJustBecause You just... did it? Just like that, on a whim? CliffBriscoeJustBecause Well listen, ma'am, if something like that crosses your mind about me, please let me know. I'm sure we can work something out. CliffBriscoeJustBecause Will there be anything else? CliffBriscoeKilledJeannieMay Ki- killed her? Why would you do something like that? CliffBriscoeMissedWakeup I- I'm sorry to hear that. She's a nice woman. Was. She might've grown on you. CliffBriscoeMissedWakeup She's usually real good about those calls. Something must've happened. CliffBriscoeMissedWakeup I hope just because I said she and I were friends doesn't mean you and I can't still be friendly. CliffBriscoeMissedWakeup Will there be anything else? CliffBriscoeMyBusiness Lord almighty. I can't for the life of me imagine her doing anything that'd make someone want to kill her. CliffBriscoeMyBusiness Not that I'm saying you're a liar, of course! I'm just surprised, is all. CliffBriscoeMyBusiness Will there be anything else? CliffBriscoeNotSafe I understand if that's how you feel. But keep in mind that I've been selling these for years and I'm fine. CliffBriscoeNotSafe I'm sure the kids that buy them are all fine too. CliffBriscoeOpenStore Sure thing. Have a look. CliffBriscoeRecommendation Bless her. Seems like every traveler I get in here tells me the same thing. CliffBriscoeRecommendation They see the sign and think, gift shop? That's just too good to be true. But Jeannie May always points them back in my direction. CliffBriscoeRecommendation Well, a friend of Jeannie May's is a friend of mine. And my friends get a discount at my store. CliffBriscoeRocketFactory Oh, that? It's just a bit west of Novac, up in the mountains. Lots of broken equipment and such. Place is deserted. Or used to be, I guess. CliffBriscoeRocketFactory Lately there's been talk of ghouls up that way, but I can't rightly say whether it's so or not. If you want to know more, ask old No-bark. CliffBriscoeScienceRocket [SUCCEEDED] I, ah, well I don't really know. Would that sour you on buying one if it did? CliffBriscoeSouvenirInfo They're scale replicas of the real thing. Very detailed. Got a liquid in them that makes them glow. CliffBriscoeSouvenirInfo From what I hear, REPCONN used to give them out on tours of their HQ up in Henderson. CliffBriscoeSouvenirInfo But I guess they had to stop after the first few kids thought they were filled with Nuka Cola and drank it down. CliffBriscoeSouvenirInfo The papers had a name for the condition and everything. They called it the REPCONN Shakes." Those were bad times for RobCo." CliffBriscoeWhatDoYouSell Well, there's t-rex figurines, of course. That's our bread and butter. CliffBriscoeWhatDoYouSell We also have an assortment of the REPCONN factory souvenirs - rockets, things of that nature. CombatIdleChatter We've trained for this. Stay cool.

CombatToLost Somebody find me something to shoot at! CombatToLost Who's got a target? CombatToLost Restore contact with the enemy, goddammit! CombatToNormal Well, that's the end of that. CombatToNormal Teach you to mess with me. CombatToNormal That takes care of that. CombatToNormal Phew. I'm glad that's over. CombatToNormal So fall the enemies of the Brotherhood. CombatToNormal Technology prevails. CombatToNormal Situation handled. CombatToNormal Hostile eliminated. CombatToNormal Tag 'em and bag 'em. CombatToNormal We're done here.

CombatToNormal Forget about it.{Spoken as a single word - fagetabbadit, with frustration} CombatToNormal All clear. CombatToNormal {relieved}I'm glad that's over with.

Even money whether Violet's dogs rip you apart or Nephi caves in your skull with that iron of his. CookCookFiends Course I do. You want to meet them? Heh. Even money whether Violet's dogs rip you apart or Nephi caves in your skull with that iron of his. CookCookFiends And after they're done... I get to play with whatever's left. CookCookFood That's right. Brahmin, mole rats, lizards... the occasional traveler lost in the wrong part of town. CookCookFood Not Queenie though. I'd never cook my Queenie. CookCookIntro Who am I? I'm the scariest motherfucker you're ever gonna meet. I'm Cook-Cook, bitch, better not forget it. CookCookIntro If I had to guess, it's because I cook shit for the rest of the gang. I'm a {draw this out}good cook. Maybe I'll make you dinner sometime. CookCookNCR NCR? Bunch of soft little bitches, they've got no stomach for life in the wasteland. Got some choice strange, though, I'll give 'em that. CookCookNCR {Revoltingly fond reminiscence}Heh heh... yeah. I'll give 'em *that* all right. CookCookQueenie *That's* Queenie. She's the prettiest Brahmin in the Wastelands. {Really creepy baby talk}Aren't you, Queenie, yes you are, who's a good girl? CraigBooneAreYouGoingToKillMe Not unless you give me a reason. CraigBooneClosestToProof Goddamn it. This wasn't supposed to be a guess. He might not have done a goddamn thing. CraigBooneClosestToProof Goddamn it. This wasn't supposed to be a guess. She might not have done a goddamn thing. CraigBooneClosestToProof Get out. I don't ever want to see you here again. And you stay the hell away from me. CraigBooneComeWithMe You don't want to do that. CraigBooneCulpritObvious Well, that's about all the proof I could hope for, I guess. Here. This is all I can give. I think our dealings are done here. CraigBooneDoAfterThis I don't know. I won't be staying, I know that. Don't see much point in anything right now, except hunting legionaries. CraigBooneDoAfterThis Maybe I'll wander, like you. CraigBooneDoesntAffectMe Wait. You just got into town. Maybe you shouldn't go. Not just yet. CraigBooneFoundBillOfSale I guess I shouldn't be surprised. It'd be like them to keep paperwork. CraigBooneFoundBillOfSale Here. This is all I can give. I think our dealings are done here. CraigBooneFriendlyConversation I don't have friends here. CraigBooneHowDoYouKnowShesDead I know, all right? And that's all you need to know. CraigBooneJustAHunch You didn't have any proof? CraigBooneKillMoreTogether Yeah. That might be true. And that's reason enough for me to take you up on it, I suppose. But this isn't gonna end well. CraigBooneKillMoreTogether Fine. Let's get out of here. CraigBooneLeaving Don't come here again till it's over. CraigBooneLookingAround There's nothing up here. CraigBooneMeetingNewPeople I think you'd better leave. CraigBooneNo I don't know who you think you're kidding. I've lived here for more than a year. CraigBooneNo Anyway, I need someone I can trust, and you may be a liar, but you're also a stranger. And that's a start. CraigBooneNotFromHere No. No you're not, are you? Maybe you shouldn't go. Not just yet. CraigBooneOnlyTrustStrangers I said it was a start. This town... nobody looks me straight in the eye anymore. CraigBooneOutlaw No. People die out there. Often enough that no one worries about blame. They're too anxious to forget it happened in the first place, I guess. CraigBooneOutlaw Besides. I was on break when it happened. CraigBooneSeeWhatICanDo Good. I'll make it worth your while. And one more thing. We shouldn't speak again. Not until it's over. CraigBooneSeeWhatICanDo No one in town knows that I know what happened to my wife. Best they never know. Or the Legion will be after me next. CraigBooneSnipersWorkInTeams Hnh. Yeah. Working on your own, you're a lot less effective. I've been there and paid for it. CraigBooneSnipersWorkInTeams But this isn't gonna end well. CraigBooneStoryDidntAddUp You didn't have any proof? CraigBooneStoryDidntAddUp You didn't have any proof? CraigBooneTrackDownWife My wife's dead. I want the son of a bitch who sold her. CraigBooneVictimSpeechFail No confession? No evidence? What good is that? CraigBooneVisitors Yeah. I guess maybe I am. But not like you. CraigBooneVisitors Huh. Maybe it should've been you I was expecting all along. CraigBooneVisitors Why are you here? CraigBooneWantedYouToKill You sick bastard. You'd better be ready to join him. CraigBooneWantedYouToKill You sick bastard. You'd better be ready to join her. CraigBooneWantMeToDo I want you to find something out for me. I don't know if there's anything to find, but I need someone to try. CraigBooneWantMeToDo My wife was taken from our home by Legion slavers one night while I was on watch. CraigBooneWantMeToDo They knew when to come and what route to take, and they only took Carla. Someone set it up. I don't know who. CraigBooneWhatIfIFindThisPerson Bring him out in front of the nest here while I'm on duty. I work nights. CraigBooneWhatIfIFindThisPerson I'll give you my NCR beret to put on. It'll be our signal, so I know you're standing with him. CraigBooneWhatIfIFindThisPerson And I'll take care of the rest. I need to do this myself. CraigBooneWhatWasISupposedToDo Find out who had Carla kidnapped. Bring him out in front of the dinosaur while I'm working my shift. CraigBooneWhatWasISupposedToDo Let me know it's him by putting on the beret I gave you. That's it. Now go on. CraigBooneWhyIsThat I need someone I can trust. You're a stranger. That's a start. CraigBooneWrongDinosaur Yeah, looks that way. CraigBooneYoureRight You've done enough for me. What's coming next, that's something for me to deal with on my own. CrandonJoinUp You want to help us out? What makes you think we want you around here, huh? CrandonNorthVegas We've been here for a few years, just looking for a place we can call our own. CrandonNorthVegas Life's harsh, but still, it beats the hell out of the desert. We've got numbers, we've got food, and we've got trade. That's progress, stranger. CrandonStuffToDo Keep your nose to the ground, stranger, that's what. Mind your own business and let us mind our own, are we clear? CrandonStuffToDo If you've got a mind to loot the old H&H Tools factory, don't even bother. That place is sealed tighter than a Radscorpion's bunghole. CrandonStuffToDo Every salvager who tries gets blown up, flattened, or gutted by traps. Then he starts to stink up the town and we're the ones to clean up the mess. CrandonStuffToDoRepeat That's right, the H&H Tools factory on the main drag. It's been sealed for ages, and it's lousy with traps. Still, might be something valuable to you. CrandonTownWatch Jules, myself, and a few others patrol the streets and sewers. Any punks come up out of the rest of the city, we give 'em the run off. CrandonTownWatch Like I told you, we look out for each other here. Me, Jules, and a few others make sure any trouble stays the hell out of our streets. CrandonWatchStage1 Some squatters decided to take space where they don't belong, over by the playground. We'd prefer to keep 'em off the streets and out of sight. CrandonWatchStage1 Maybe you could go and talk to them... convince them to see things our way. CrandonWatchStage1 Good work with those newcomers. I think you can handle more serious business... with more serious rewards. CrandonWatchStage1 There's a handful of greasers down in the sewers causing trouble. They ain't packing too much iron, but I'd like them dealt with all the same. CrandonWatchStage2 Good work with those newcomers. I think you can handle more serious business... with more serious rewards. CrandonWatchStage2 There's a handful of greasers down in the sewers causing trouble. They ain't packing too much iron, but I'd like them dealt with all the same. CrandonWatchStage3 You know, this time I may actually need a gun with a brain. CrandonWatchStage3 Talk to Mrs. Hostetler. She's near the Crimson Caravan. I think her daughter's making bad friends CrandonWhoAreYou Name's Crandon, stranger. I keep an eye out for trouble around here. Crippled {Critically Injured}I'm gonna need some new limbs. Crippled {crippled limbs}I could use a Doctor's Bag if you have any handy. Crippled {Critically Injured}Need a medic. Crippled {Critically Injured}Can't feel all my limbs. Crippled {Crippled in the leg, grim}Tagged me, need a doctor bag. Crippled {Crippled in the leg, grim}Not firing on all pistons here.

DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic000 I know I'm not young and pretty any more, but I appreciate the thought all the same. {grinning}Here, take the parts, you flatterer. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic001 The way I heard it, the Brotherhood of Steel ran the place before the NCR took it away from them. I'm not sure who started shooting first. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic001 But, when it was over, the Brotherhood, with all their fancy armor and weapons, was on the run. Nobody's heard from them since. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic002 All right, then. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic004 Take care, now. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic005 Happy to do it. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic006 Sure thing. Let me have a look. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic007 Doctor Henry? Now there's a name I haven't heard in years. Hard to believe he's still alive. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic007 As for your request, it's, uh, a bit ghoulish if you ask me, but Rey is pretty old and I'll probably have to put him down soon enough. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic007 As for the price for this favor, 700 caps sounds about right. Rey's like family, and I've got other dogs to take care of. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic008 Certainly did. Hubby and me had an old rad meter to help us tell the difference between what you could salvage and what'd kill you. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic008 I kept a glowing container from REPCONN around here for years serving no better purpose than a nightlight. Damn thing wouldn't sell. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic008 Then along comes the most peculiar-looking fellow, all decked out in a yellow radiation suit, of which he was proud all out of proportion. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic008 The man outright asked if I had anything radioactive for sale - imagine that! But he paid handsome for that jar of goop. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic008 Only saw him that once. He said something about heading over to Clark Field to put his suit through its paces. A strange one, he was... DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic009 As it so happens, I do have some thrust modules, but they're expensive. 500 caps worth of expensive. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic010 Still got them. 250 caps and they're yours. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic010 Still got them. 500 caps and they're yours. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic011 Sometimes it seems like I spent the better portion of my youth in that old wreck of a building. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic011 Me and my hubby, may the man rest in peace, used to scavenge there. If it weren't bolted down, you can bet we took it and sold it. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic011 A lot of the scrap you see around here is from REPCONN, even my favorite chair. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic013 [SUCCEEDED] Eh, fair enough. It's not like anyone's ever wanted to buy them before. 250 caps it is. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic013 [FAILED] Oh, I don't know about that. Lots of folks travel by on their way to New Vegas. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic014 [SUCCEEDED] Ha! Yes, you are quite the smoothtalker. What the hell - 250 it is. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic014 [FAILED] Oh, you're charming in your own way, I suppose. Not budging on the price for those parts, though. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic015 Pleasure doing business with you. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic017 Okay. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic018 A pleasure doing business with you. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic019 Well, I'll give you a hint - they used to just call me Gibson. I hope you can figure out the rest. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic019 I don't mind, to be honest. Living long is a real accomplishment these days. Remains to be seen if I end up dying peaceful in my bed. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic020 No worries. I'll hold onto those parts for you. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic023 {to a dog}Here, Rey! Mama's got something for you. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic024 [SUCCEEDED] Fair enough. {to a dog}Here, Rey! Mama's got something for you. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic024 [FAILED] I happen to disagree. 700 caps, and that's my one and only offer. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic025 All right, then. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic026 Like I said before, give me 700 caps and Rey's brain is yours. DialogueOldLadyGibsonOldLadyGibsonTopic027 He and I had joined up with the same caravan. Add in a lot of whiskey, and, well, let's just say we got to know each other. DianeCaesar Don't worry, Jack and I have talked it over. We'll talk up the idea of breaking the alliance. DianeCaesar Anders got back a little while before you did, he told me what happened. If that's how the Legion treats my people, I don't want any part of them. DianeCaesar Hey, it's not like I'm super-attached to working with Caesar or anything, but if it'll stop his patrols from harassing my runners, I'm all for it. DianeWork I don't have any compelling reason to trust you, given your behavior. So no, I'm not really inclined to give you a job. DianeWork {Thoughtful}Hmm... you look like you could handle yourself in a fix. All right, I'll tell you what. Anders, one of my best runners, is overdue to report back. DianeWork If you can find out what happened to him, I'll give you some real work. DianeWork Great! Here's your payment. DianeWork And you didn't even get skinned alive. I'm impressed. Here's your payment. DianeWork Like I said, find Anders first, then we'll see about trusting you with more work. DianeWork Yeah, you did good finding him. Okay, if you want a little work, I think I can find you something. DianeWork Okay, if you want a little work, I think I can find you something. DianeWork Not right at the moment, but you could talk to Jack - he's always looking for new recipes. DianeWork Ordinarily I would, but it seems like all our clients have ended up dead. You could talk to Jack - he's always looking for new recipes. DianeWork Diane handles most of the transactional elements of this little enterprise, but I'm always in the market for new recipes if you've got the spark. DoctorAddiction Maybe you are and maybe you aren't, but I don't give my help to enemies of the NCR. Maybe you can find a raider medic" to fix you up." DoctorAddiction Hey, pipe down. We can't talk about that here, out in the open. DoctorAddiction Oh, you mean you want a cure. Oh. DoctorAddiction If you've seen half the things I've seen out in the Wasteland, I can't say I blame you. I might be able to help with that. DoctorAddiction Well, then, take two shots of whiskey and call me in the morning. Heh heh, little doctor humor. Okay, let's have a look. DoctorAddiction I can't say that's something I treat all the time, but I should have something to help you through it. DoctorAddiction Sure. I can help you out. DoctorAddictionNO Suit yourself. But you'll find out that your habit will cost you more than that in the end. DoctorAddictionNO Suit yourself. But you'll find out that your habit will cost you more than that in the end. DoctorAddictionNO Suit yourself. But you'll find out that your habit will cost you more than that in the end. DoctorAddictionNO If that doesn't work, you could always try using some chems. DoctorAddictionNO Suits me - I've got plenty of other patients to take care of. DoctorAddictionNO Heh. Good luck with that. Just try to remember the Cazadores crawling out of your skin aren't real. DoctorAddictionNO But on the off chance they are, come back and see me. DoctorAddictionNO You're making a mistake, but that's just my opinion. What do I know, after all? I've only studied medicine my entire life. DoctorAddictionNO Suit yourself. DoctorAddictionYES Okay, there you are. The convulsions should stop in the next one to twelve weeks. If they don't, try holding on to something that's very still. DoctorAddictionYES All right, there you go. And don't complain about the taste. DoctorAddictionYES And there we go. Now, try to stay off the stuff, you hear? DoctorAddictionYES Why didn't you say so? No problem. I'll give you my free cure. Here, lean in. It's a special doctor secret. DoctorAddictionYES Stop doing chems! DoctorAddictionYES Hey, I'd love to help you out of the goodness of my heart, but I have an awful lot of patients to consider. DoctorAddictionYES There, that's got it. Do be so eager to sample dangerous substances in the future, okay? DoctorAddictionYES Sorry, my supplies are rather limited, and we can only get more by trading. Which requires money. Money you don't have. Come back when you have some. DoctorAddictionYES Okay... all done. DoctorAddictionYES Come back when you actually have the money, you damn junkie. DoctorAddictionYES Okay. Hold still. I don't want to make this any more painful than it already is. DoctorHenryToCalamity01 How are those readings looking, Calamity? DoctorHenryToLily01 All right, power on the Stealth Boy, Lily. DoctorHenryToLily02 Interesting. Try thinking aggressive thoughts now. Think about smashing a Radscorpion. DoctorHenryToLily03 All right, we're done here. Go ahead and power the Stealth Boy down, Lily. DoctorHenryToLily04 I'll get back to you on that in a moment. Once I've analyzed the results - uh, oh. DoctorMedical Don't think because I'm a Ghoul, I'm stupid. You're fine. DoctorMedical Is this a trick question? I don't even see a scratch on you. DoctorMedical Injured... ha! This is just a nick. If you can't tough it out and you want to be fixed up it'll cost you 50 caps. DoctorMedical I don't see anything wrong with you. DoctorMedical Maybe you are and maybe you aren't, but I don't give my help to enemies of the NCR. Maybe you can find a raider medic" to fix you up." DoctorMedical Let me take a look. {Beat}Really? That's it? You've got a few scrapes and a hangnail. Come back when you're really hurt. DoctorMedical You got to be kidding me. You're fine - this is just a ploy to get a free sucker, isn't it? DoctorMedical Let's see... Physically, you're fine. Emotionally... well, I'm not the right kind of doctor for that. DoctorMedical I don't see nothing wrong with you. DoctorMedical That's not the worst injury I've seen - hell, it's not even the worst this week. I think we can patch you up. DoctorMedical This doesn't look too bad. We'll have you good as new in no time. DoctorMedical That's not so bad. I'll have you looking good as new. I mean, what are the chances of me botching another routine procedure in the same day? DoctorMedical Don't look like nothing too serious. Lemme patch you up. DoctorMedical Unless you dipped that in cheese fondue, I'd say it's infected. Let me fix that up for you. DoctorMedical Sure. I can help you out. DoctorMedical Yeah, that's looking pretty bad. I think we can do something about it though - just a minute. DoctorMedical Damn, that's got to hurt. Okay, hold still, it's gonna get worse before it gets better. DoctorMedical Jesus, I don't think that's supposed to just dangle like that. And what the hell is that thing there? DoctorMedical It's gonna be expensive. Try not to speak. Just nod yes or no. DoctorMedical Holy God, what battlefield did you just crawl off of? I'm going to be honest, this is kind of out of my league, but I'll do what I can. DoctorMedical I wasn't going to say anything, but when you walked in here I thought you were a ghoul. We better get to work on this quick. DoctorMedical This? This is nothing. You should see some of the wounds I've seen paladins come back with. DoctorMedical That's not so bad. I should be able to treat you rather quickly. DoctorMedical By Steel, I haven't seen wounds like these since HELIOS. I've got to get you treated quickly. DoctorMedical I'm sorry, but is that supposed to be a joke? There's nothing wrong with you. I can tell just by looking. DoctorMedical I'd hesitate to even call this a wound, but if you insist. 50 caps should cover my expenses. DoctorMedical Yeah, you could do with some work. It'll set you back 75 caps, but well worth it. DoctorMedical This is pretty bad, but I've seen worse. Still, it's going to cost 75 caps to get you back on your feet. DoctorMedical Yeah, you look almost as bad as I do. Of course, I'm supposed to look this way and you aren't. 100 caps will do it for my expenses. DoctorMedical Did you get the number of that Brahmin that trampled you? Sheesh! If you want me to stitch you back together, it'll be 100 caps. DoctorMedical I don't see anything wrong with you. DoctorMedical Sure, I could patch you up. Nothing too serious. I don't work for free though. DoctorMedical Sure, I could patch you up. Nothing too serious. I don't work for free though. DoctorMedical You're right. You do need a doctor. Lucky I happened along. But first let's discuss my fee... DoctorMedical You're not kidding. You're in bad shape, friend. I'd be happy to fix you up... for a reasonable fee. DoctorMedical33YES All right, I'll just get my scalpel here, and... ugh. Did I leave that sitting outside? Well, you know what? Free tetanus shot! DoctorMedical33YES Okay. Hold still. DoctorMedical33YES Okay, that's about the best I can do. Try not to get hurt that bad again, it's not like I've got an endless supply of bandages. DoctorMedical33YES All right, just hold steady. Want a shot of whiskey to calm your nerves? Mind if I have one? Heh heh, little doctor humor there. DoctorMedical33YES Darn it! That money was going to help pay to get me some medical training. DoctorMedical33YES Well, come back when you do. I'll be here. DoctorMedical33YES Then I'm sorry, but I don't have any treatment for you. My priority is helping the refugees here at this camp. DoctorMedical33YES Then I can't help you much. Now, maybe if you enlisted.... DoctorMedical33YES This might take a while. Close your eyes and try to relax, and we'll begin. DoctorMedical33YES I'm afraid protocol prevents me from treating you then. DoctorMedical33YES This won't hurt a bit. Nah, just kidding. It will probably hurt a lot. Hold still. DoctorMedical33YES This won't hurt a bit. Nah, just kidding. It will probably hurt a lot. Hold still. DoctorMedical33YES For crying out loud. Get out of my face then. DoctorMedical66YES All right, I'll just get my scalpel here, and... ugh. Did I leave that sitting outside? Well, you know what? Free tetanus shot! DoctorMedical66YES Okay. Hold still. DoctorMedical66YES Darn it! That money was going to help pay to get me some medical training. DoctorMedical66YES Well, come back when you do. I'll be here. DoctorMedical66YES Okay, that's about the best I can do. Try not to get hurt that bad again, it's not like I've got an endless supply of bandages. DoctorMedical66YES Then I'm sorry, but I don't have any treatment for you. My priority is helping the refugees here at this camp. DoctorMedical66YES All right, just hold steady. Want a shot of whiskey to calm your nerves? Mind if I have one? Heh heh, little doctor humor there. DoctorMedical66YES Then I can't help you much. Now, maybe if you enlisted.... DoctorMedical66YES This shouldn't take too long. Just close your eyes and relax. DoctorMedical66YES I'm afraid protocol prevents me from treating you then. DoctorMedical66YES This won't hurt a bit. Nah, just kidding. It will probably hurt a lot. Hold still. DoctorMedical66YES This won't hurt a bit. Nah, just kidding. It will probably hurt a lot. Hold still. DoctorMedical66YES For crying out loud. Get out of my face then. DoctorMedical99YES All right, I'll just get my scalpel here, and... ugh. Did I leave that sitting outside? Well, you know what? Free tetanus shot! DoctorMedical99YES Okay. Hold still. DoctorMedical99YES Darn it! That money was going to help pay to get me some medical training. DoctorMedical99YES Well, come back when you do. I'll be here. DoctorMedical99YES Okay, that's about the best I can do. Try not to get hurt that bad again, it's not like I've got an endless supply of bandages. DoctorMedical99YES Then I'm sorry, but I don't have any treatment for you. My priority is helping the refugees here at this camp. DoctorMedical99YES All right, just hold steady. Want a shot of whiskey to calm your nerves? Mind if I have one? Heh heh, little doctor humor there. DoctorMedical99YES Then I can't help you much. Now, maybe if you enlisted....

Hold still. DoctorMedical99YES For crying out loud. Get out of my face then. DoctorMedicalContNO Glad to be able to help. DoctorMedicalContYES Yeah? What is it? DoctorMedicalNO Sometimes ignoring something is the best medicine. DoctorMedicalNO Suit yourself. DoctorMedicalNO Swing back by if you change your mind. I'll see what I can do for you. DoctorMedicalNO You want to play tough guy, that's no skin off my nose. DoctorMedicalNO You want to play tough gal, that's no skin off my nose. DoctorMedicalNO Not my clinical opinion, but so be it. DoctorMedicalNO Suit yourself. DoctorMedicalSpeech Well... I guess I could make an exception. 50 caps -- but that's my final offer. DoctorMedicalSpeech All right. But don't let it get around, or I'll have every dirty waster begging me for help. DoctorMedicalSpeech Fine. 100 it is. But don't think this makes us friends. This is a special, one-time offer, understand? DoctorRadiation Sure can. Quick and easy. DoctorRadiation I don't give my help to enemies of the NCR. Maybe you can find a raider medic" to fix you up." DoctorRadiation Are you sure? You won't be able to read in the dark as well. DoctorRadiation Sure. I can help you out. DoctorRadiation Well, one thing we do have is a good supply of Rad-Away. Sure, I can help you with that. DoctorRadiation No, sorry, we're totally unprepared to deal with radiation sickness. DoctorRadiation Ha ha, just kidding, of course I can! DoctorRadiation We always make sure to keep an ample supply of Rad-Away. Most of us haven't had the exposure outsiders like you take for granted. DoctorRadiationNO In that case, stand just like that for a second. I want to make some toast. DoctorRadiationNO Suit yourself. DoctorRadiationNO All right, but don't blame me if you end up sterile. DoctorRadiationNO Whatever you say. Hey, is that a little patch of ghoul rot on your cheek there? DoctorRadiationNO Suit yourself. I'm sure there are ghouls and other mutants who once said the same thing. DoctorRadiationNO If that's the way you want it, it's all the same to me. DoctorRadiationYES Okay. And remember, if this doesn't help, try taking a bath in tomato juice. DoctorRadiationYES Okay... all done. DoctorRadiationYES Just stand still and try to ignore the tingling. DoctorRadiationYES This might tickle a little. Or it might cause searing, agonizing pain to shoot through your body. You never know. DoctorRadiationYES I bet you could make some of the money letting people work on their tans next to you. DoctorRadiationYES Well, come back when you do. I'll be here. DoctorRadiationYES Well, if you scrounge it up, the help is here waiting for you. DoctorRadiationYES Then I can't help you much. Now, maybe if you enlisted.... DoctorRadiationYES Here we go. You'll be rad-free in no time. DoctorRadiationYES Then I can't help, sorry. Just following protocol. DoctorRadiationYES Then I can't help you. Sorry. DoctorRadiationYES And a quick shot... all done. DoctorSupplies I guess I can spare a few things. DoctorSupplies I don't give my help to enemies of the NCR. Maybe you can find a raider medic" to fix you up." DoctorSupplies Yeah, and I need {emph}sterile medical supplies. But let's see what I have with me. DoctorSupplies Sure. DoctorSupplies I'd love to help you out, but I'm pretty strapped here as it is. I really don't have anything to sell you. DoctorSupplies Hmm... well, I am better set for supplies now that you helped me out. I guess I can part with some of them. DoctorSupplies Here's what I've got. DoctorSupplies I suppose I have a few things around that I can spare. DustyMcBrideHowsBusiness You must mean what's left of it. Somebody's been attacking our animals at night. We're down to less than half of what we had a few weeks back. DustyMcBrideLookAtWhoDidIt Beg your pardon mister, but them two-headed beeves ain't worth getting shot over. DustyMcBrideLookAtWhoDidIt Not to mention what would happen if half of what No-bark says is true. DustyMcBrideLookAtWhoDidIt Best we can hope is that whoever's doing this'll move on, or get tired of it. I just hope it happens while we still got animals left. DustyMcBrideLookAtWhoDidIt Whoever it is, I don't think they're from around town. Seems like they've taken to shooting from the west side. DustyMcBrideLookAtWhoDidIt Beg your pardon ma'am, but them two-headed beeves ain't worth getting shot over. DustyMcBrideLookAtWhoDidIt Not to mention what would happen if half of what No-bark says is true. DustyMcBrideLookAtWhoDidIt Best we can hope is that whoever's doing this'll move on, or get tired of it. I just hope it happens while we still got animals left. DustyMcBrideLookAtWhoDidIt Whoever it is, I don't think they're from around town. Seems like they're usually shooting from the west side. DustyMcBrideLosingLivestock Losing don't describe it. It's a massacre. Few more days and there won't be nothing left to lose. DustyMcBrideNoOneWillAttack Well I don't know how you done it, but I do know how I can thank you. Please take this, compliments of Alice and myself. DustyMcBrideNoOneWillAttack And help yourself to anything in that freezer over yonder. We got more steaks in there than we'd be able to eat in a year. DustyMcBrideNoOneWillAttack Well we surely appreciate for what you done for us. Even without our stock, just having peace of mind means the world to us. DustyMcBrideNoOneWillAttack Take this, compliments of Alice and myself. We'd give you more if we could, knowing you risked your neck for us. DustyMcBrideNotDoneYet Well don't worry yourself too much over it. We'll get by. DustyMcBrideSeeIfICanHelp We'd be grateful. Especially if you find 'em before they get my whole stock. But don't go getting yourself killed over it. DustyMcBrideSeeIfICanHelp Alice and I'll find a way to make do. Always have. DustyMcBrideTellMeWhatYouKnow Every night around midnight Alice and I'll wake up to some crazy hollering and gun shots. You'd think the world was ending all over again. DustyMcBrideTellMeWhatYouKnow But it's just one animal each night. They don't take it or carve it up or nothing. Just leave it there, all full of holes. DustyMcBrideTellMeWhatYouKnow Well, it's the strangest thing. Last time it happened I could swear I heard someone cry out for help. Sounded like a big fella. DustyMcBrideTellMeWhatYouKnow But when we finally got up the gumption to go look outside all we found was our cattle. And I know what they sound like when they get upset. DustyMcBrideTellMeWhatYouKnow I can't imagine what went on. Dusty can probably tell you more about it. DustyMcBrideWhatDoYouDo Oh, I tend to my ranch, that's about it. Alice'll tell you. I don't get out a whole lot. EDEContinueLog1 Eyebot Duraframe Subject E is both the prototype, and the last functional model in this test group.

FollowersFired {Little regretful}If you're sure... your loss. FollowersFired {Teasing}What no music? {Sarcastic}I'll hold the tears 'til I'm gone. FollowersFired If you're sure... your loss. {Beat, under breath}Can't say I couldn't use a break from you for a while. FollowersFired Aww, {gramma}grandma will miss her little pumpkin! Are you sure? FollowersFired I think I may have misheard that order. FollowersFiredNo Okay. FollowersFiredNo Your decisiveness is truly a wonder to behold, boss. FollowersFiredNo {Thought so."}Mmm hm." FollowersFiredNo What is this, the Hokey Pokey? FollowersFiredNo {Happy Beep}
FollowersFiredNo {happy bark}
FollowersFiredNo Don't be playing with my heart now, gets me pissed. FollowersFiredNo You {emph}sure now? All right. FollowersFiredNo Either shoot or don't, but don't be wishing and washing about it. FollowersFiredNo {Mutters}You're like a switchblade stuck on flick. FollowersFiredNo {Told to stay or go}Going to give a lightswitch a run for its money. Click click click. FollowersFiredNo Oh, pumpkin, you make {gramma}grandma so happy! FollowersFiredNo Excellent. Will do. FollowersFiredYes All right. Guess I'll be around Novac for a while longer, until I figure out what I want to do with myself. See you around. FollowersFiredYes That's why you're the boss. You always make the right decisions. I'll just head home. Home to my lonely, abandoned shack in the middle of nowhere. FollowersFiredYes Okay. Then I guess I'll be back at the 188. Maybe digging in some dirt for scrap metal or something. FollowersFiredYes {Confirmation Beep}
FollowersFiredYes I'll head back to the Old Mormon Fort. If you need me, just swing by. FollowersFiredYes {whimper}
FollowersFiredYes {Slight sass, told to leave}Fine then. FollowersFiredYes {Slight sass, told to leave}I'll get out of your hair, then. FollowersFiredYes All right, then, dearie. Now you promise to come visit {gramma}grandma soon, you hear? FollowersFiredYesSuite I'll make my way there. FollowersFiredYesSuite {sighing}Back to the tomb, I suppose. If you need me, et cetera. FollowersFiredYesSuite Nice! Can I order room service? FollowersFiredYesSuite {Confirmation Beep}
FollowersFiredYesSuite Hey, as long as you're not asking me to go back to Black Mountain, I'm a happy old man. FollowersFiredYesSuite {confirmation bark}
FollowersFiredYesSuite {Wary, doesn't like 38}All right... don't be long. {Under her breath}Robots there give me the creeps. FollowersFiredYesSuite {Wary, doesn't like 38}All right. Guess Vegas it is. FollowersFiredYesSuite {Wary, doesn't like 38}Back to the gilded cage. FollowersFiredYesSuite Nice children shouldn't stay in places like that, dearie! That's the sort of place Leo likes! But if you insist.... FollowersHired Huh. Well, let me know when there's room for me. FollowersHired I'm ready when you are. FollowersHired Sorry boss, but as much as I'd like to risk getting killed by your side, you seem to already have some help. FollowersHired You have quite the menagerie at your disposal. If you can get the posse down to small gang" size FollowersHired As the old saying goes, two's company, but three's a small army. Okay, I'm paraphrasing a bit, but you get the idea. FollowersHired There's something about that robot that doesn't seem... all right to me. I'm not saying we shouldn't take it with us. FollowersHired I'm just saying that if it were to fall" into Lake Mead and be irreparably damaged... and if you threw an EMP grenade in after it..." FollowersHired Well, there are worse things happening in the world, right? FollowersHired After spending thirty years of my life hiding my association with the Enclave, I'd {emph}love to stroll the wasteland with a twitchy Eyebot. FollowersHired Back in your good graces again? I knew you'd see the light. FollowersHired A courier, doctor, and a cybernetic dog. After we deal with the whole imminent conquest of New Vegas" problem FollowersHired Words cannot contain my excitement at the chance to throw myself headlong into danger with you again, boss. FollowersHired Let's go make trouble. FollowersHired Ooo. Sorry. Don't want to be a third wheel, you know? FollowersHired {Sad Beep}
FollowersHired {Happy Beep}
FollowersHired [Rex growls at ED-E's presence.] FollowersHired {double bark}
FollowersHired Can't be any worse than here. FollowersHired All right then, let's get the train rolling. FollowersHired You got one too many by my count. FollowersHired Not in the mood for a threesome. {Beat, under her breath}Today. FollowersHired What, you teasing me? Lose one, then ask me again. FollowersHired That'd be lovely, dearie. FollowersHired Oh no, dearie, three makes a crowd. FollowersHired Sir, I regret to inform you that this unit cannot accept orders from an irresponsible officer! FollowersHired It is a soldier's duty to soldier, not to play hero! FollowersHired Sir, I regret to inform you that this unit cannot accept orders from an officer under a Court Martial! FollowersHired Sir, I apologize, but a squad is less effective when it is over crowded. FollowersLetsGo I've got your back. FollowersLetsGo Right behind you, boss. FollowersLetsGo Lead the way. FollowersLetsGo Aw, just when the standing around was getting exciting. FollowersLetsGo {Happy Beep}
FollowersLetsGo {happy bark}
FollowersLetsGo Let's hit the road. FollowersLetsGo Let's roll out, then. FollowersLetsGo All right, dearie, let's go. FollowersLetsGoNotYet1 No time to dilly-dally, sir! What is it? FollowersLetsGoNotYet2 Old war-bots never die! We just rust away. FollowersOverburdened Hey, I can't really move, now. But I'll follow you in spirit. FollowersOverburdened Gonna be hard covering you when I can't move my legs. FollowersOverburdened {a little annoyed}I'm not exactly in Power Armor over here, so why don't you help lighten my load a bit? FollowersOverburdened {sad whimper}[Rex is overburdened and is having difficulty keeping up with you.] FollowersOverburdened {Irritated}Carrying too much shit to move. FollowersOverburdened {Irritated}Pinned down here carrying your bags. FollowersOverburdened {annoyed}I'm not standing here because I'm overburdened with emotion. Take some of this stuff off of me so I can move a little more easily. FollowersOverburdened Need to lighten my load. FollowersOverburdened {Irritated}What did you give me, bricks? FollowersOverburdened {Under heavy strain, being sarcastic}Hey, don't worry about it, boss. The decrepit old man can easily carry all your stuff for you. Really. FollowersOverburdened Didn't your mother ever tell you it's polite to help an old lady carry her bags? FollowersStealthing {Going stealthy, quiet}Bad guys won't see us coming. FollowersStealthing {Going stealthy, quiet, We're hunting wabbits"}Shhhh... we're hunting shitheads." FollowersStealthing {Going stealthy, quiet}Holding my breath. FollowersStealthing {Going stealthy, quiet}Keeping quiet. FollowersStealthing {hushed, not confident in his abilities}O... kay. I'll do my best. FollowersStealthing {quietly}Just as a warning, my covert bandaging skills are a little rusty. FollowersStealthing {Going stealthy, quiet}Staying low. FollowersStealthing Keeping quiet... unless my creaking knees give us away. FollowersStealthing Sure, boss. The old man will crawl around in the dirt to keep hidden. FollowersStealthing This crouch-walking is hell on my back, boss. FollowersStealthing Right, because a ghoul in a vaquero outfit is really going to blend in with the scenery. FollowersStealthing Oh, don't you worry about me, dearie, your {gramma}grandma knows how to stay quiet. FollowersTactics You wanna do something different? FollowersTactics Oh, this should be good. I mean, what's on your mind, boss? FollowersTactics I'll defer to your judgment, naturally. FollowersTactics Am I punching too much? I get carried away. FollowersTactics {Makes laser sounds}
FollowersTactics {questioning aroo}
FollowersTactics {Wary}I'm listening. FollowersTactics {To herself}Tactics ain't the word I'd use. FollowersTactics So talk then. FollowersTactics {Frowns}Got my attention. FollowersTactics Of course, dearie, I'll do whatever you want. I can't make any promises about Leo, though. FollowersTacticsCombat If you think it'll help. FollowersTacticsCombat {worried}I'll do my best. FollowersTacticsCombat In what way, boss? FollowersTacticsCombat My recommendation - more punching. FollowersTacticsCombat {laser sound}
FollowersTacticsCombat {questioning aroo}
FollowersTacticsCombat My {emph}style suits me just fine. But go ahead anyway. FollowersTacticsCombat {Defensive}Well, we all ain't got Pip-VATS on our wrists. FollowersTacticsCombat You expecting a fight? FollowersTacticsCombat Ohhh, Leo might not like that, but I'll try, sweetheart. FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive Just like you said five minutes ago. Don't worry, boss, I got it. FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive Understood. I won't hesitate. FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive Shoot first, poke bodies later. Got it, boss. FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive I'm already doing that. FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive Good. Makes things simple. FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive You mean like, even more? FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive Beats waiting till they shoot me first. FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive {Dunce sound}
FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive {Sonar Beep}
FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive {annoyed growl - already doing what the player wants}
FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive {confirmation bark}
FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive {Eager}I'll do like I'm doing then - {slight evil, likes hurting people}except I'll try to smile less. FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive {Slight confusion}What, was I not doing it right before? FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive {To herself}Got a habit of repeating yourself. FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive Never get tired of hearing that. FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive {Eager}Now we're talking. FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive With a smile. FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive You can keep repeating yourself all day, dearie, but I remember what you said. FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive That's eactly what Leo told me to do! FollowersTacticsCombatEND No arguing here. FollowersTacticsCombatEND {Getting a little tired of talking}As long as we're not here all day. FollowersTacticsCombatEND {Getting a little tired of talking}Long as it's not a lecture. FollowersTacticsCombatEND I'm listening. FollowersTacticsCombatEND Not a problem. FollowersTacticsCombatEND I'm listening. FollowersTacticsCombatEND Whatever you say, boss. FollowersTacticsCombatEND Yeah. Shake things up a little. FollowersTacticsCombatEND {Confirmation Beep}

FollowersTacticsCombatGOODBYE Don't you want to give {gramma}grandma some sugar first? FollowersTacticsCombatMelee Not my strong suit, but okay. FollowersTacticsCombatMelee Right. Got it. I'll just stop using this melee weapon and instead use a melee weapon. Good idea, boss. FollowersTacticsCombatMelee If you would like me to die very rapidly, this is clearly the best tactical choice. FollowersTacticsCombatMelee Sure, I'll stop using my rather effective gun and switch to, ah, this piece of metal tubing here. Great plan, boss. FollowersTacticsCombatMelee You mean like this melee weapon right here in my hand at this very second? FollowersTacticsCombatMelee Yes! Finally. Everything's coming up Veronica. FollowersTacticsCombatMelee {beep Laugh}
FollowersTacticsCombatMelee {dunce Beep}
FollowersTacticsCombatMelee {puzzled aroo}[Rex defaults to melee attacks since he has no ranged weapons.] FollowersTacticsCombatMelee {Pleased}All right.
FollowersTacticsCombatMelee {Wary, under her breath}As long as I'm not bringing a knife to a shootout. FollowersTacticsCombatMelee {Eager}Good, my fists were getting bored. FollowersTacticsCombatMelee {Eager}Gives me a chance to practice my backhand. FollowersTacticsCombatMelee {Eager}Throw some whiskey in the mix, and I'm game. FollowersTacticsCombatMelee {Eager}Time to make some new friends. FollowersTacticsCombatMelee Oh dearie me, I thought I already was! Have I been confused all this time? FollowersTacticsCombatMelee Oh, I'm so glad, peanut. Leo finds chopping people so much easier. FollowersTacticsCombatPassive I'm already doing that. FollowersTacticsCombatPassive That's sounding dangerously close to a plan, boss. FollowersTacticsCombatPassive I'm hardly a whirlwind of death when left to my own devices, but all right. FollowersTacticsCombatPassive I'm already doing that. FollowersTacticsCombatPassive I'll follow your lead. FollowersTacticsCombatPassive {Confirmation Beep}
FollowersTacticsCombatPassive I like this plan where you're the decoy. FollowersTacticsCombatPassive What a coincidence! I've been doing that all this time! FollowersTacticsCombatPassive {puzzled aroo}[Rex is already waiting for you to attack enemies first.] FollowersTacticsCombatPassive {confirmation bark}

FollowersTacticsCombatPassive Yes, dearie, that's what {gramma}grandma's been doing. And Leo isn't happy about it, either. FollowersTacticsCombatPassive {Concerned}Ohh, Leo's not going to like that.... FollowersTacticsCombatRanged Yeah, you and me both. FollowersTacticsCombatRanged You mean like the one I'm already using, boss? FollowersTacticsCombatRanged {sounds great to him}No arguments from me. FollowersTacticsCombatRanged Sure thing, boss. FollowersTacticsCombatRanged {Dunce Beep}
FollowersTacticsCombatRanged {happy Beep}
FollowersTacticsCombatRanged {Hopeful}Does jumping at them with my fists count as ranged? {Then, dejected}
Fine.
FollowersTacticsCombatRanged Are you talking to me, or a future Veronica who is not already doing that? FollowersTacticsCombatRanged {sad whimper}[Rex is incapable of ranged attacks and will continue using melee attacks.] FollowersTacticsCombatRanged {Pleased}Could use a little target practice. FollowersTacticsCombatRanged {Pleased}Music to my ears. FollowersTacticsCombatRanged {Pleased}Dad'd approve. FollowersTacticsCombatRanged {Eager to shoot some bad guys}Line the bottles up, I'm ready. FollowersTacticsCombatRanged Well, if you insist, but Leo isn't going to like it much. FollowersTacticsCombatRanged Now now, dearie, there's no need to repeat yourself. {Gramma}Grandma hears just fine. FollowersTacticsDistance {Confused}What, I got whiskey on my breath? FollowersTacticsDistance {Player asks for distance, Cass thinks PC farted}Look, if you ripped one, I don't care. FollowersTacticsDistance {Herself}Washed a hundred times, Brahmin smell never gets out. FollowersTacticsDistance Sorry - travelling the Mojave don't exactly leave me smelling like a rose. FollowersTacticsDistance Just tell me where you want me. FollowersTacticsDistance We can do that. FollowersTacticsDistance What are you saying, exactly? FollowersTacticsDistance Am I stepping on your shoes or something, boss? FollowersTacticsDistance {Confirmation Beep}
FollowersTacticsDistance {panting}
FollowersTacticsDistance What's the matter, dearie? Afraid {gramma}grandma will embarass you in front of your little friends? FollowersTacticsDistance What's the matter, dearie? Do you miss having {gramma}grandma close by? FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault Any closer and you'd need a Rad-Away, boss. FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault Okay, I'll keep it tight. FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault I'm not going to wander off, but okay. FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault Hey, now. You're gonna have to buy me dinner first. FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault This is as close as I get until you turn into a leggy brunette. FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault Sorry. I get distracted. Been scavenging too long. FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault Oh, I wouldn't dream of getting too far away, boss. FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault {Homing Beep}
FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault {confirmation bark}
FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault About as close as I can get without crawling up your ass. FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault Any closer, I'm stepping in your boots. FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault Already am... 'less you're getting fresh on me. FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault Gonna need a wedding ring first. FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault Sorry, was lagging behind there. FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault Keep your shirt on, I'm coming. FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault All right, I'll rein it in. FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault Bringing up the rear. FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault If I get any closer, I might squish you! And that would make {gramma}grandma sad. FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault Aww, someone misses {gramma}grandma! FollowersTacticsDistanceEND I'm always eager for more of your scintillating conversation, boss. FollowersTacticsDistanceEND Okay.

FollowersTacticsDistanceLong Like your thinking. FollowersTacticsDistanceLong Sweetie, I think {gramma} knows a little something about chopping evil people. That's what I've been doing. FollowersTacticsDistanceLong All right, dear, {gramma}grandma will stay out of your way - but I'll be close enough to hear if you call!' FollowersTacticsEnd All right. FollowersTacticsEnd Yeah.

FollowersTacticsEnd {panting}
FollowersTacticsEnd Fine, let's focus on the bad guys. FollowersTacticsEnd Waste of time, anyway. FollowersTacticsEnd Fine. {To herself}All this planning won't matter much when the bullets fly, anyway. FollowersTrade Fine by me. FollowersTrade Sure. Just don't treat me like a pack Brahmin, okay? FollowersTrade Ooo. Got something good for me? Is it a dress? FollowersTrade You're making me carry the heavy stuff, aren't you? FollowersTrade I'm sure you'll be fair and equitable, boss.

FollowersWait I'll be here. Just don't expect me to fend off a gang of Super Mutants while you're gone. FollowersWait Okay. Just don't be gone long. I sunburn easily. FollowersWait I'll sit tight. FollowersWait Shoulda brought something to read... FollowersWait Okay, boss. I'll just wait here, alone, while my heavily armed companion goes out of earshot. I'm sure nothing will happen. FollowersWait {Confirmation Beep}

FollowersWait You better not be leaving me here. FreesideRepConsequences Hey, you're the one who's been going around helping people around here, right? The King says to keep up the good work, and said to give you this. FreesideRepConsequences You're starting to get quite the reputation around here, aren't you? Don't get me wrong, I'm not passing judgement or anything. FreesideRepConsequences The fine proprietors of Mick & Ralph's appreciate that kind of attitude, and would like to offer you a discount on their fine wares. FreesideRepConsequences Just as long as you keep making waves, that is. Be seeing you. FreesideRepConsequences {Starts off blustering, ends up blubbering}Give me all of your {caps}ca- whoa, I'm sorry. I-I didn't know it was you. Please don't hurt me. I've got a wife! And kids! And pets and stuff! Frenzy {Wild Shout of Rage} FSBodyguardAccept Wonderful. One thing up front - the moment you leave Freeside, our contract is done. That being said, please, after you. FSBodyguardAccept Come back when you have the caps, then. If you'll excuse me, I have more important people to talk to in the meantime. FSBodyguardAccept You've made the right choice. As long as you're in Freeside, I'm your man. No one will mess with you with me hanging around. FSBodyguardAccept However, once you head over to the Strip or enter the wasteland, I'm heading immediately back here to pick up another customer. FSBodyguardAccept So what do you say? Ready to head out? FSBodyguardAccept Oh, for the love of - get the hell out of here, then! FSBodyguardAccept You won't regret it, my friend! As long as you're in Freeside, I'll be right behind you, covering your back. FSBodyguardAccept Oh, I should mention that I don't go where I'm not invited, so don't count on me following you inside private property. Ready to get going? FSBodyguardAccept That is most regrettable, my friend. I wish you well in the meantime. FSBodyguardBarks Need a bodyguard? FSBodyguardBarks You got the caps, I got the guns! FSBodyguardBarks These guys couldn't keep fleas off a dog. Hire me! FSBodyguardBarks Protection services for hire over here! FSBodyguardBarks Safe travel through Freeside! FSBodyguardBarks You need the best. Hire me! FSBodyguardBarks Your safety guaranteed! FSBodyguardBarks Freeside's a dangerous place, my friend! FSBodyguardBarks Only I can keep you safe, my friend! FSBodyguardReject It's your funeral. Come see me when you wise up. FSBodyguardReject Are you sure? Well, don't say you weren't warned. FSBodyguardReject I can't say I recommend that, but hopefully you'll change your mind. I'll be here if you do. Good luck! FSBodyguardWhyHire You could go without one, but you'd be up to your waist in vermin either begging for your caps or demanding it at knifepoint the whole time. FSBodyguardWhyHire I've got a reputation for shooting first and not really bothering to ask questions later. With me around, the vermin should keep their distance. FSBodyguardWhyHire So what'll it be? I've already spotted two other potential customers while we've been chatting. FSBodyguardWhyHire New to Freeside, are you? Trust me, you won't make it ten feet without being accosted by some of our more friendly residents. FSBodyguardWhyHire I happen to have an understanding with most of the local wildlife, however. With me by your side, they'll kindly find someone else to bother. FSBodyguardWhyHire So you want to run with the best or not? FSBodyguardWhyHire Ah, my friend, believe me when I tell you that this place, while quite nice when you know your way around, can be very, very dangerous. FSBodyguardWhyHire There are those who would hinder your every step with requests for your money, your business, or even your life. FSBodyguardWhyHire With your permission, however, I would be happy to stand between you and those people. How does that sound? FSRotfaceDontGiveCap I understand. Well, have a good day. FSRotfaceGiveCap The first thing you should know is that Freeside is run by a pack of yahoos that call themselves the Kings. FSRotfaceGiveCap Their leader, who oddly enough calls himself the King, currently has his hands full trying to prevent an all-out riot in Freeside. FSRotfaceGiveCap That's two tips, but what the hell. You're a new customer so the extra one's on me. Wanna hear another? FSRotfaceGiveCap Northwest of the big Freeside sign is a casino called the Atomic Wrangler. FSRotfaceGiveCap It's not as fancy as the ones on the Strip, but there's still plenty of excitement to be found there. FSRotfaceGiveCap At the northwest end of Fremont Street you'll find the Silver Rush. It's run by a rather scary family called the Van Graffs. FSRotfaceGiveCap Trust me, these are {stressed}not people you want to mess with. But if lasers and such are your thing, the goods they sell are second to none. FSRotfaceGiveCap People in Freeside generally fall into one of two categories. Those who've been here all their lives call themselves Locals. FSRotfaceGiveCap When people from the NCR and other places started pouring in, the Locals began referring to them as Squatters, and the name stuck. FSRotfaceGiveCap The Locals blame the Squatters for the scarcity of resources in Freeside, and the Squatters blame any act of violence against them on the Locals. FSRotfaceGiveCap They're both right to some extent, and violent outbreaks between the two are all too common these days. FSRotfaceGiveCap If you've been around the Kings, you may have met one of them named Pacer. He's always stomping around trying show off his authority. FSRotfaceGiveCap Being new, you weren't around when it happened, but a few months ago Pacer pissed off the Van Graff family big time. FSRotfaceGiveCap No one knows what went down, but word is the Van Graffs still want him dead. FSRotfaceGiveCap Drugs are everywhere in Freeside, and even people you might not expect have become addicts. FSRotfaceGiveCap Jacob Hoff, for instance. That man was a brilliant chemist before he picked up the habit. Now, just another junkie. FSRotfaceGiveCap That King Pacer's a fan of Jet, too, though I heard one of the Followers talking about it being dangerous for him. Something about his heart. FSRotfaceGiveCap Do yourself a favor, and stay away from that stuff, okay? FSRotfaceGiveCap In the area between the north and east gates is the Old Mormon Fort, where the Followers of the Apocalypse have set themselves up. FSRotfaceGiveCap The Followers aren't a bad bunch, and provide healing and supplies to the people of Freeside as they can. FSRotfaceGiveCap I've heard the Garrets over at the Atomic Wrangler are having a hard time collecting some money owed to them. FSRotfaceGiveCap An enterprising person like yourself might be able to make some caps helping them with their little problem. FSRotfaceGiveCap Caught a rumor the other day that some of the clientele over at the Wrangler have been making some rather strange requests. FSRotfaceGiveCap Stuff like weirdos wanting the, ahem, services of ghouls and such. I almost have half a mind to volunteer myself, sexy beast that I am. FSRotfaceGiveCap Have you tried going to the Strip, only to be stopped by those big metal murder machines? Happens every day around here. FSRotfaceGiveCap But if you know the right people, you can get through the gate without being a rich man. FSRotfaceGiveCap I probably don't have to tell you that Freeside's dangerous, but you might want to think twice about hiring one of those guards at the gates. FSRotfaceGiveCap They're not all saints, is all I'm saying. FSRotfaceGiveCap Have you been to Mick & Ralph's yet? They run a store just down the street, and sell some things you might not expect. FSRotfaceGiveCap There's a guy out on the main drag who sells second hand adventuring gear. He's got an okay selection, but where does it come from? FSRotfaceGiveCap He might not look it, but Ralph from Mick & Ralph's is no slouch with a keyboard. I've heard he's helped reprogram several robots in his time. FSRotfaceGiveCap Saw a strange thing the other day. The King took that robo-dog of his over to the Old Mormon Fort. FSRotfaceGiveCap Weird thing was that the dog was flipping out, and had to be restrained by a few of the King's men. Hope he doesn't get loose. FSRotfaceGiveCap Things have generally been bad here for the Squatters, the people who came here hoping for a better life and just got stuck. FSRotfaceGiveCap But lately the mood has changed. The Squatters seem to be a bit more optimistic. I wonder what happened? FSRotfaceGiveCap Mention the NCR and people around here get a little on edge. There's talk that they're going to take over all of New Vegas. FSRotfaceGiveCap It doesn't help that they've got military camps all over the place, and more troops pour into the area daily. FSRotfaceGiveCap There's a rumor that a huge army is camped to the east, massing to attack the NCR. Like that'd ever happen. FSRotfaceGiveCap Who in the world could stand up to the NCR and win? FSRotfaceGiveCap While everyone knows Mr. House runs New Vegas, no one knows the first thing about him. FSRotfaceGiveCap He just sort of showed up a few years back, and everything you see around you is the result. Just who in the hell is he? FSRotfaceGiveCap The Strip is run by the Three Families, who owe their allegiance to Mr. House. FSRotfaceGiveCap When he first showed up, he gave the local tribes the choice of working with him or getting the hell out of his way. FSRotfaceGiveCap Given how things turned out, I know which way I'd have gone, but hindsight's twenty-twenty, right? FSRotfaceGiveCap The Omertas, one of Mr. House's Three Families, run a casino called Gomorrah on the Strip. FSRotfaceGiveCap If you thought the Wrangler was something, you owe it to yourself to go there. FSRotfaceGiveCap The Chairmen run a casino on the Strip called the Tops. It's a pretty classy place, by all reports. FSRotfaceGiveCap I haven't been there myself, but I hear security there is kinda tight. Don't expect to bring your weapons in there. FSRotfaceGiveCap There was a rumor a while back that the White Glove Society was really an all-ghoul gang, which is why they wear those weird masks of theirs. FSRotfaceGiveCap What do you think, would I look good in a mask? Maybe I'd make more caps... FSRotfaceGiveCap A traveler that passed through here not long ago told everyone he met that there's some kind of plant paradise to the west where food is abundant. FSRotfaceGiveCap All the people foolish enough to listen to him and head out that way never came back. FSRotfaceGiveCap Ever hear of the Gun Runners? They sell just about every kind of firearm you can imagine, and some you probably couldn't. FSRotfaceGiveCap I've heard people passing through mention some kind of underground fights pitting creatures of the waste against one another for sport. FSRotfaceGiveCap And when I say underground FSRotfaceGiveCap East of Freeside there's an old air force base, judging by the road signs. FSRotfaceGiveCap No one knows for sure what's in there, though, on account of anyone approaching the place getting violently blown up. FSRotfaceGiveCap I heard something about a town south of here being attacked, but details are sketchy. All I know is there haven't been any refugees showing up here. FSRotfaceGiveCap Which means either the attack wasn't too bad, or it was very, very bad. FSRotfaceGiveCap Traders have been griping for a while now about the 15 being too dangerous to travel. I'd steer clear of it unless you're armed to the teeth. FSRotfaceGiveCap The NCR used to run a prison to the southwest, but something happened a little while back, and now all you'll get is hard looks if you ask about it. FSRotfaceSoliciting Ha ha ha, oh that's rich. You're not exactly my type, no offense. No, I meant I could give you a tip. Earn my money, so to speak. FSRotfaceWhatKindofTip You look like you're new around here, so I'm sure I know all sorts of things you'd find useful. If not, well, it's only a cap. FSRotfaceWhatKindofTip So what do you say? FSRoyTellsWayneToTalk Wayne, it's okay. The King sent 'em. GenericFiendTopic000 Like anyone in their right mind would follow you. GenericFiendTopic000 Yeah, you do that.

GorobetsGetIntoPosition We're here. First Recon, get into your positions and wait for the target. GorobetsMoveOut Get your rifles and move out, First Recon. We've got a Fiend to kill. GreatKhanMessengerPapa I've got a message for you from Papa Khan. He wants you to return to Red Rock Canyon and speak to him as soon as possible. GREETING Need to talk about something? GREETING What are you looking at? GREETING Will you quit bothering me? GREETING {Prison under attack}No time to talk. We've got trouble. GREETING {impressed}Not half bad in a fight, are you? I figure you had a lot to do with me still breathing after all that. GREETING I don't have any more work for you, but feel free to stick around as long as you want. You never know when the NCR will be back. GREETING Dawes said he let somebody in. So, you going to give me a reason not to kill you and throw your body back outside? GREETING You're the one Cobb mentioned. Maybe you feel like helping us out around here. GREETING {After prison battle}Not bad in a fight, are you? I really thought the NCR had us in their sights that time. GREETING {Powder Ganger Good Rep 2+ reached}I've been thinking that since you've been good to us, we can be good to you. GREETING We've got plenty of spare powder and dynamite around. Say the word and we can give you some of it every couple of days. GREETING {Powder Ganger Mixed Rep 2+ reached}I don't know what to make of you, you know that? I know I can't really trust you, that's for sure. GREETING Still, you've helped us out some, so maybe I ought to repay you some. I've spread the word about you to a bunch of guys out in the wasteland. GREETING As long as you're not an enemy, they'll cut you some slack when you're near their camps. Trespass too long and they'll come after you. GREETING {abrupt, slightly hostile}What? GREETING {Combat in progress}Shut up and fight! GREETING I'm Sergeant Lee. Lieutenant Hayes radioed ahead to say you were on the way. GREETING We've got surprise on our side, and that's about it. Once we blow a gap in the fence, we've got to pour on the fire and keep them disorganized. GREETING Our goal's to take out their leader, some assbag named Eddie. With the ringleader gone, the rest will fold. GREETING That's all the briefing you're going to get. Let's go. GREETING We can take it from here. We might have some cleaning up to do, but Eddie's a deadie. Gangs with no leadership don't last long. GREETING I'll radio Hayes to let him know the prison's ours. But you should swing by to see him the next time you're near Primm. GREETING Thanks for the help. GREETING You just walked into the wrong camp, my friend. Hand over everything you've got and we might let you live. GREETING I got the message. You won't see me around these parts again. GREETING {Mixed Rep reached}Hey, I've been sent to tell you that, while you're not exactly a friend, we know you've helped us out some all the same. GREETING We figure some kind of truce is in order. As long as you don't come too close to any of our camps, we'll let you pass without trying to kill you. GREETING Of course, the truce is off once we know you're an enemy. GREETING Got nothing else to say to you. GREETING
GREETING
GREETING {Great Khan}Fuck Benny. We'll make him pay for stabbing us in the back. GREETING {Great Khan - in combat}There's more of them still out there. GREETING {NCR Trooper}Beats going up against the Legion. GREETING {NCR Trooper}Never gone up against Great Khans before. GREETING Man, this place is a mess. GREETING This rubble is slippery. Watch your step. GREETING {NCR Trooper - in combat}We didn't get all of them. Talk later! GREETING {Worker}It's about time they called us back. GREETING {Worker}Work's slow right now, but at least it's something. GREETING {Worker}Train's not working yet. GREETING {Worker}I'm happy the Big Horn is still around. GREETING Some of the machinery's frozen up. Need someone to talk a look at it. GREETING All right, Smoothskin, I'm letting you in. You better watch yourself. I'll sure as hell be watching you. GREETING What's the problem, smoothskin? Lost your way? GREETING Hello? Who's down there? GREETING Stop messing around with the intercom, smoothskin. GREETING God, but are you ugly! Get upstairs and talk to Jason before I throw up just from looking at you. GREETING Go bother Jason, smoothskin. I don't like having you around. GREETING Have you found the components we discussed? GREETING Have you found the components we discussed? GREETING Hi, REPCONN Quest Stuff, have at it! GREETING {Player not in NCR gear}{pleased}A customer! Not many people come into Boulder City these days. GREETING This isn't a public relations office. If you're not here about a bounty, you can go pester the Colonel. GREETING I see you're still alive, and that's promising. Any luck on that bounty? GREETING Got any more good news for me? GREETING Still working on that last bounty? GREETING Perimeter's been quiet since you left. The Fiends are running scared. I doubt they'll give us any more trouble, not for a long while. GREETING I haven't got any more bounties for you. It's been quiet and calm since you last reported in. Just how I like it. GREETING If you're looking for bounties, you're too late. Had a few Fiends on my shitlist, but they either got killed or moved on. GREETING I hear you killed Driver Nephi. My team would've liked to get a shot at him... but we're still glad he's dead. GREETING I'm Lieutenant Gorobets, First Recon. If you're looking to collect a bounty, you should talk to Major Dhatri. GREETING You came through for us. I have to admit... I wasn't sure you'd make it. GREETING Means a lot, letting my team get payback. Here. We all pitched in some caps for you. Even Sterling, and he's famous for his tight wallet. GREETING {Moving into position}We'll get ourselves into position. See you at the rock crushing plant. GREETING {In position}We're all set up. You just lure Nephi close. GREETING {First Recon member died}It's always hard to lose someone under your command. I hate writing the letter to their folks. GREETING What can I do for you? GREETING Hey, my man! T-t-ten of spades. First Recon sharpshooter. At your s-s-service. GREETING Hey there, miss! T-t-ten of spades. First Recon sharpshooter. At your s-s-service. GREETING {Betsy dead}Can't b-b-believe Betsy's gone. S-s-she was a bitch, b-but she was my p-p-partner, you know? GREETING {Gorobets dead}S-s-sucks about the {ell-TEE}LT. N-n-nobody can replace him. GREETING How 'bout you get out of my f-f-face? I'm First Recon. I don't need to t-take shit from civvies. GREETING {Moving into position}K-killing some Fiendsi? Shit, yeah! It's about t-t-time! GREETING {In position}One shot, one kill. That's how Ten of Spades p-p-plays the game. GREETING {Nephi dead, 10 of Spades didn't get a hit}{disappointed}Shit. I didn't even get a shot at that Nephi b-b-bastard before he went down. GREETING {Nephi dead, 10 of Spades got a hit}Right here, Fiends! This is what payback looks like! First Recon, hooah! GREETING {Cook-Cook dead}'B-b-bout time Cook-Cook g-g-g-got what was c-coming to him. GREETING You remember me, right? T-t-ten of Spades. First Recon. GREETING {PC is female, CHA 7+}Girl... you are some grade-A poon, anybody ever tell you that? GREETING {Female PC, CHA 7+}You keep talking to me, sweetness, and people are gonna think we're an item. Not that I mind. GREETING {Male PC}Never seen you around before. What do you want? GREETING {Moving into position}Cut the chatter. Focus on the job, or you're gonna end up dead. GREETING {In position}Quit talking! We've got a job to do. GREETING {Nephi dead, Betsy got a hit}You did good out there. Glad you let me get a piece of Nephi. GREETING {Nephi dead, Betsy didn't get a hit}What a pointless trip. Here I thought I'd get a shot at that junkie bastard. GREETING {10 of Spades dead}Damn that 10 of Spades. Just had to go and get himself killed. GREETING {Gorobets dead}Gorobets was all right - {lesbian afterthought, with some respect}for a man. Not gonna be the same without him. GREETING I've been seeing Usanagi, and things are better. I'm not so angry all the time, you know? And, uh, I'm not trying to jump every woman in camp. GREETING Well, not all the time, anyway, GREETING {a little subdued, but friendly - the player's helped her}Hey. GREETING {Female PC}{friendly - likes women}Hey, girl. You need something from me? GREETING {Male PC}{slight hostility - not fond of men}Yeah? GREETING {Corporal Sterling Top Level Topic Holder} GREETING Howdy. Name's Sterling, First Recon. Can't say I've seen you before. I'd remember, if I had. GREETING {Nephi dead, Sterling didn't get a hit}Took some skill to bring down that Fiend. You done good. GREETING {Nephi dead, Sterling got in a hit}Nothing like a job done right. Wish I had a cigar. GREETING {Moving into position}Been a while since they let us out of the fence. Brass must really want Nephi dead. GREETING {In position}Best you don't worry about us. We'll watch your back. GREETING {Gorobets dead}It's always hard when your commander goes down, but we'll pull through all right. GREETING Howdy. What brings you back? GREETING I'm Bitter-Root. First Recon. You got a reason to talk to me? GREETING {Moving into position}Can't talk now. Got to keep my eyes sharp. GREETING {In position}{quietly warning, it's a combat situation}Eyes sharp, now. GREETING {Nephi dead, Bitter-Root got a hit}Wish I'd gotten a bullet in that Fiend... GREETING {Nephi dead, Bitter-Root got a hit}That's one less drugged-out waster. Best part of this job - shooting folks who deserve it. GREETING {Gorobets dead}I've never lost a {see-OH: commanding officer}CO before. It doesn't feel right. GREETING Didn't think you'd be back. What's this about? GREETING Let me guess. You got work for me, right? GREETING Well, you're too late - I just quit the bounty trade. Soon as I pick up some caps that Dhatri owes me, I'm out of this scrapyard. GREETING {Cook-Cook dead}Heard you got Cook-Cook. I hope you roasted that bastard with his own flamer. GREETING Yep, I'm still here. Shit, I got nothing better to do, right? GREETING Welcome to REPCONN Headquarters, Rocketeer! Come all this way to see our little facility, have you? GREETING I'm here to answer any and all questions you may have - within specified parameters - and if you'd like, I can provide a tour of our museum. GREETING Welcome back! Interested in a tour of the REPCONN museum? Or did you have a question about the company I could answer? GREETING Yes? Did you have a question? GREETING Keeping the Strip secure has been hell since the monorail was taken out. GREETING Did you hear about that Legion POW escape? I don't like our chances of taking him alive twice. GREETING They're talking about you on the radio. Saving President Kimball. I'm impressed. GREETING How could we lose Kimball at a time like this? GREETING Chief Hanlon was a model soldier. We all looked up to him. GREETING Too bad about Chief Hanlon. He did what he thought was best for us. GREETING Without Camp Forlorn Hope, it's a matter of time before the Legion surrounds us at the Dam. GREETING This whole war's gonna change when the Ranger veterans get here. Soon as we see the Black Armor, we can all breathe easier. GREETING A platoon of veteran Rangers is like a tactical nuke, only tougher to scare. GREETING This battle... everything's riding on it. GREETING That red beret's looking good, soldier. GREETING The security lapse with the monorail is a huge embarrassment. GREETING That POW escape presents some real security concerns. That was our base camp, for crying out loud. GREETING There's something fishy about how Chief Hanlon died. It just doesn't add up. GREETING Can't believe Hanlon was working against us. GREETING No hope of securing the border now that Forlorn Hope fell. GREETING The Ranger veterans have been running ops in Baja. We'll be a different army with them here. GREETING We've got our best Rangers here now. All of a sudden I like our chances a whole lot better. GREETING If we lose Hoover Dam, we can kiss Nevada goodbye. GREETING With House dead, we'll have Vegas annexed before the year's out. GREETING It's been a long tour. All I can think about now is going back home. GREETING {LATER, BUNKER}Well! You're here ahead of schedule! I suppose it's just as well... GREETING This is where I wanted you to end up, after all. {self-congratulating}I knew I could rely on Caesar to give you back the Platinum Chip. GREETING {LATER, BUNKER, MISSION}I see that you reached your destination safely. Shall we get to work? GREETING {BUNKER}Have you come to your senses? It's not too late to upload the Platinum Chip's data to the primary computer. GREETING {BUNKER}Stop wasting time. Go upload the data on the Platinum Chip to the facility's primary computer. GREETING {BUNKER}As you know, the Platinum Chip upgrades my Securitrons' operating software. Well... there's an army of them here. GREETING The Securitrons policing the Strip are a fraction of the total number manufactured. The rest, I stored here. GREETING {BUNKER}The Platinum Chip is a data-storage device. GREETING I need you to manually upload the data from the Chip to the facility's primary computer. There's a terminal at the other end of this facility. GREETING There's a complication. While I can broadcast to this screen, I can't control any of the facility's systems. GREETING That means I can't deactivate its security bots... most of which appear to be active, according to the status board I'm looking at. GREETING {BUNKER, FORT SECS DEST}{devastated}Do you have the slightest idea of what you've done, of what you've destroyed? GREETING You've doomed Vegas to be ruled by corrupt bureaucrats or fanatical savages. GREETING Singlehandedly, you've brought mankind's best hopes of forward progress crashing down. No punishment would be too severe. GREETING {BUNKER}Your work here is done. Return to the Lucky 38 so we can discuss next steps. GREETING You have a very bright future ahead of you. Thanks to your actions today, so does the rest of mankind. GREETING {PLAYER DIDN'T GET CHIP}{Should be Securitron on the Strip}Benny is dead, and yet you don't appear to be carrying the Platinum Chip. GREETING I don't suppose you forgot to search his body? GREETING {LOST CHIP}Before we go any further - where is the Platinum Chip? GREETING {FIRST, HAS CHIP, FORT SECS UP}{spoke to player at the Fort bunker first}So, we meet in person finally... so to speak. You did well at the Fort - kudos. GREETING {HAD CHIP, REFUSED, RETURNED}Have you come to your senses - or will there be a repeat of the last incident? GREETING {FIRST, HAS CHIP, BENNY DEAD TOPS}You've been a busy courier, haven't you? You take your obligation to deliver an package very seriously - an ethic for which I am grateful. GREETING I will admit, when you ignored my invitation, I predicted... negative outcomes. But - you have a way of exceeding expectations, don't you? GREETING Well enough. Let's have the Chip, then. GREETING {FIRST, NO TOPS}{even tones, welcoming the player but appraising, too}This meeting has been a long time coming, hasn't it? You've come a long ways, literally and, I suspect, figuratively as well. GREETING {proud of the Vegas you built}I have to ask - now that you've reached your destination, what do you make of what you see? GREETING {FIRST, BENNY FLED}The point of my inviting you to visit me here at the Lucky 38 {emphasis}before stomping into the Tops on your own was to help you prepare - tactically. GREETING Now, because of your carelessness, Benny has fled the Strip, taking with him the Platinum Chip. GREETING {FIRST DISCUSS, PLAYER VISITED TOPS}{welcoming player, trying to hide irritation}Well... this meeting has been a long time in coming... longer still, since you took time to {disapproving}charge into the Tops before coming to see me. GREETING {putting aside irritation}Before we get down to details, I must ask - now that you've arrived at your destination, what do you make of what you see? GREETING {NO TERMS, NO TOPS}{player walked away without accepting terms last time}Can I look forward to a more {beat, emphasis}substantial conversation this time? GREETING {TERMS, NO TOPS}Have you considered the terms of my offer? There's else little for us to discuss until you have. GREETING {TERMS YES, NO CHIP}What is the purpose of this delay? GREETING {LATER, BENNY FLED}Events have transpired in a... {beat}less-than-optimal fashion. Benny has fled the Strip, and the Platinum Chip has not been recovered. GREETING {LATER, BENNY FLED}Benny must be pursued, and the Platinum Chip, recovered. GREETING {LATER, HAS CHIP, BENNY DEAD TOPS}So... Benny has been {slight beat}handled and you've recovered the Platinum Chip. Let's have it. GREETING {LATER, HAS CHIP}I take it you've come to deliver the Platinum Chip? GREETING {HOUSE RECEIVES CHIP}{tenderly regarding the Chip}Such a small thing, isn't it? And yet so... {capacious = inexhaustibly capable}capacious. So very dear. GREETING Decades of hiring salvagers out west to search for this little {beat}relic in the ruins of a place called Sunnyvale. Back then, anyway. GREETING That's where the Chip was printed, on October 22, 2077. It was to have been hand-delivered to me here, at the Lucky 38, the next day. GREETING But the bombs fell first. Suffice it to say, the delivery was never made. GREETING {CHIP IN, STRIP SECS NO}{jaunty, eager to share your secret}Come now, come now... get thee to the elevator. GREETING {CHIP IN, STRIP SECS NO}{growing impatient}To the elevator, if you please... Stop dragging your feet. GREETING {STRIP SECS UP}{dry}Trips to the basement are rarely so educational, don't you think? GREETING I've since broadcast the upgrade to every Securitron in range of my transmitters, and I must say, it's causing quite a stir down on the Strip! GREETING {L38, HAS BUNKER MISSION}Make your way to Caesar's Camp at Fortification Hill. Something very interesting awaits you... GREETING {STRIP SECS UP, GIVES BUNKER MISSION}To secure the future of New Vegas, I must have your assistance. The work ahead is dangerous, but {beat}you weather danger well. GREETING {STRIP SECS UP}Have you found the courage to do what's necessary? GREETING {MQN, B4 CHIP}What did you wish to know? GREETING {MQN, B4 CHIP}What else did you want to know? GREETING {FORT SECS NO}We'll talk again once you've concluded your work in the bunker at Fortification Hill. GREETING {FORT SECS UP}The foundation is laid. My Securitrons on the Strip are upgraded, and those at the Fort, ready for action. GREETING Now it's just a matter of adjusting the attitudes of some lesser groups while we wait for Caesar's Legion to attack Hoover Dam. GREETING {PLAYER HASN'T ACCEPTED BOOMER QUEST YET}The next step is to add the Boomers' considerable firepower to my growing arsenal... or at the very least, ensure their neutrality. GREETING As I was saying, I need you to enlist or neutralize the Boomers at Nellis Air Force Base. GREETING {BOOMERS QUEST ACTIVE}Any progress with the Boomers? GREETING Your next assignment won't take you far. It concerns the Omertas and their den of vice, Gomorrah. GREETING As the decisive encounter between the bull and the bear looms close, my concerns about the Omertas have grown. GREETING I've never expected loyalty, mind you. A reliably underhanded tribe is just as constant to deal with as one that always run true. GREETING But that's just it - lately the Omertas' cooperative silence has been deafening. Not a single complaint? They're up to something. GREETING Your next assignment would've been to investigate the Omertas, but you managed to foil their scheme before I could put you to the task. GREETING I should compensate you as though it were an official assignment, however. Wouldn't want to {beat}disincentivize your proactivity.{cash out Omerta quest} GREETING I'd hoped to have you investigate the Omertas, but after the trouble you caused at Gomorrah, they won't let you in the front door. GREETING I'll see if I can make some progress with informants. You're useless in this matter. GREETING As I said before, I need you to investigate the Omertas, to see what they're up to. GREETING What do you have to report about the Omertas? GREETING Your next assignment is to locate and destroy remnants of the Mojave chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel. GREETING The NCR nearly did the job at Helios One a few years ago, but there seem to have been survivors, unfortunately. GREETING Given the Brotherhood's fanatical views on technology, they can be counted on to oppose my regime. GREETING Please - put them out of my misery. GREETING As I've said, I need you to locate and destroy the Brotherhood of Steel. GREETING Have you destroyed the Brotherhood of Steel? GREETING Will you ensure that President Kimball survives his visit to Hoover Dam? GREETING {ALL REPUTATIONS LEAD-IN}Aaron Kimball, the president of the New California Republic, is going to visit Hoover Dam to boost morale."" GREETING Apparently he hasn't considered the effect on the troops' morale of seeing their beloved leader get his brains blown out by a Legion sniper. GREETING {GOOD REP LEAD-IN}I need you to make sure that no harm comes to President Kimball. It's fortunate that you've maintained good relations with the NCR... GREETING {NCR REPUTATION TERRIBLE}Unfortunately, I can't use you to protect Kimball. The NCR won't let you come within a thousand feet of the President. GREETING Odds are that Caesar will launch his assault on the dam after Kimball's visit is concluded, one way or the other - so be on guard. GREETING {NCR REPUTATION TERRIBLE}{ALTERNATE}Unfortunately, I can't very well send you off to protect Kimball. The NCR won't let you come within a thousand feet of the President. GREETING This can be used to our advantage, though it'll a {beat}grim business. Go to Hoover Dam and attack the gathering crowd, and his visit will be canceled. GREETING {REPUTATION OKAY}Your reputation with the NCR isn't exactly stellar, so I'll have to vouche for you. It'll make a scene, but it's worth it. GREETING Last I knew, President Kimball wasn't scheduled to visit the Lucky 38. Be on your way to Hoover Dam, will you? GREETING If not for you, President Kimball would be dead. So you needn't feel guilty when the NCR's rout from Hoover Dam demolishes his political career. GREETING Why in the world did you attack President Kimball? GREETING Kimball is dead - what a mess you've made! GREETING {GIVES EL DORADO SUBSTATION QUEST}Between the Strip and HELIOS One lies the El Dorado electrical substation. GREETING Humble as it appears, the substation has immense strategic value, for it's there that you'll jumpstart the Lucky 38's dormant reactor. GREETING Gain access to the substation's control room and install this override module. Just so you know, there are NCR troops guarding the station. GREETING Until the Lucky 38's reactor has been restarted, we have nothing to discuss. GREETING As you can see, Vegas is humming along. I've tested my c3i broadcasting arrays. Everything is in order. GREETING And just in time, as it turns out. The forces of Caesar's Legion are on the march, establishing a staging area east of the dam. GREETING Their assault could begin at any moment. So that's where you'll be heading, if you're ready - Hoover Dam. GREETING The Legion's assault could begin at any moment. GREETING {MQN, STRIP SECS UP}What did you want to discuss? GREETING {MQN, STRIP SECS UP}What else did you want to discuss? GREETING {Player fled combat last time}There will be no repeat of the trouble we had last time, I trust? GREETING {Player fled combat last time}I'm optimistic that this conversation will go more smoothly. GREETING {MQN, FORT SECS UP}I'd rather you just dealt with the Boomers, but all right... GREETING {MQN, FORT SECS UP}I suppose the Omertas can wait a few minutes. GREETING {MQN, FORT SECS UP}A few questions, and then you'll handle the Brotherhood, I hope? GREETING {MQN, FORT SECS UP}Questions like Will President Kimball survive his visit to Hoover Dam?"" GREETING {MQN, FORT SECS UP}Even now? On the brink of battle? GREETING I knew you'd make it. Resourceful, as always. GREETING The override module is functioning properly. I'm rerouting power to the Securitron vault at the Fort as we speak... GREETING I just need you to head over to the east power plant and manually activate the switch. GREETING When you return topside, I think you'll see that my Securitron army is a little more than the Legion was prepared to handle. GREETING Oh, and before you go - grab that print-out spooling from the console here - those papers set the terms for the NCR's unconditional surrender. GREETING I thought you might enjoy the honor of presenting them to the NCR's commanding officer, once the Legion has been defeated. Cheers! GREETING {Fleshy House}{rasping, wheezing voice, like you have emphysema}Why have you... done this?... centuries of preparation... so much good, undone... GREETING {Fleshy House}{rasping, wheezing voice, like you have emphysema}I have... nothing... to say... to you... GREETING Hey again. GREETING It sure is nice to see everybody working together like family. Maybe now the baby Jesus won't cry his self to sleep every night. GREETING Shooting guns is real scary, but I think I got the hang of it now! GREETING Razz said the candy he got us was special! I wonder what he- {sudden, psychotic break}Gnaaah, kill, kill, rip and kill! -{right back to normal}meant by that? GREETING Poindexter says all our troubles is over now, and we won't have to go to war. I guess that's good, but I don't understand why. GREETING Is it true? The big boss ranger done killed his self? GREETING Howdy, great to see you! GREETING Y'all sure are a big ol' hero. I gotta wright my mama and tell her I met you! GREETING Uh, howdy. Are you gonna be mean or nice this time? GREETING You scare and confuse me, and I think you should be nicer to people. GREETING Go away, you big bully! GREETING {Frightened}Ahhh! Somebody call in the Rangers! GREETING Howdy. GREETING While I have already internalized the new skills we have discussed, I feel as though my solution was nevertheless more practical. GREETING Excellent! Maximal reward for minimal work. GREETING I trust you're satisfied with the squad's newfound teamwork? It's almost entirely my own doing, I assure you. GREETING Ever since consuming those illicit rations" Razz offered us GREETING I understand the esteemed Chief Hanlon is no longer with us. A shame. He seemed to be the only competent leadership this Army had. GREETING I'm assuming you aren't associated with the Army or the Rangers. What can I do for you? GREETING You've done an excelent job ingratiating yourself to the top brass. I assume this is some sort of strategem? GREETING You've managed to become extraordinarily well-liked by the top brass. You should exploit that for your own gain wherever possible. GREETING Your behavior has become an unwelcome X-factor, and I would kindly ask you to consider altering it. GREETING I'm afraid I have no desire to socialize with unstable elements such as yourself. GREETING I must question your logic in coming here, in light of your prior actions. GREETING Kindly remove yourself, as I have no desire to be struck by a stray round when disgruntled troopers begin firing on you. GREETING Greetings once again. GREETING Okay, okay, I admit it - knowing how to use these guns right is pretty cool. GREETING Sweet, those readiness reports" are so good they actually gave me a raise!" GREETING I thought all that touchy-feely teamwork bullshit was kind of fruity... but it kinda feels good knowing my squad's got my back. GREETING {Tripping out on a drug almost like but legally distinct from meth}Ha ha, fuck me, Jack's shit is still the best! GREETING Heard Chief Hanlon took the {lead" as in bullets}lead expressway to Angel-town. Weird shit GREETING What you want, homes? GREETING Aw, shit, here comes the brown-noser. What you want? GREETING Shit, look who it is, the crazy one! What up? GREETING Every time you come around, the brass gets their pants in a bunch. Keep on coming by. GREETING Shit, you just piss folks off wherever you go, huh? GREETING I know I talk a lot of shit about the army, but you come around here again and I'll slit you. GREETING Yo. GREETING Something I can do you for? GREETING I suppose I can help you out. What do you want? GREETING I'm not really comfortable having you in here, so make it quick. GREETING Hey, friend. Need something? GREETING Glad to see you! Need a patch-job? GREETING I think you'd better get out of here. GREETING There are a half-dozen troopers in shouting distance. Best remember that before you try anything. GREETING I don't speak with outsiders, smoothskins especially. Talk to our leader, Jason Bright. GREETING Well, well! If it isn't the Vault explorer himself! Welcome back. GREETING Well, well! If it isn't the Vault explorer herself! Welcome back. GREETING {Satisfied but exhausted from sex}That was something else. I look forward to the next ride - once I recover, you monster. GREETING What are you doing here!? I don't want to be near you ever again! Leave, leave... just leave, ok!? GREETING Hey, stranger! Where have you been, uh? I missed you! GREETING Give me a few to close the shop, I'll meet you at the room. GREETING {Deeply Saddened}Mickey is... he's no longer... alive. I'm sorry, but I just can't go on. GREETING Hey buddy, spare a cap? I can make it worth your while. GREETING This man's prices are steep, but I hear he's worth it. GREETING Thanks, mister! GREETING Thanks, lady! GREETING I wish he'd quit running. GREETING He's kinda cute, isn't he? GREETING We're gonna have rat tonight! GREETING Hey pal, spare a cap? GREETING Ah, my favorite customer. Got a cap for me? GREETING You could do worse than leave your life in my hands, wanderer. Far worse. GREETING A hundred caps sees you safely through Freeside. What do you say? GREETING You're in luck stranger. You just happen to be talking to the most successful bodyguard in all of Freeside. GREETING And I just happen to be available at the moment. One hundred caps gets you a peaceful, pleasant trip through our fair district. Guaranteed. GREETING Hello, my friend! Can I perhaps interest you in some protection? My services come cheap at only a hundred caps. GREETING Look, I'm being paid to shoot people who talk to you, not talk to you myself. Just pretend I'm not here or something. GREETING Freeside truly is an interesting place, isn't it? GREETING I am sorry, my friend, but I must concentrate on watching out for threats. Please do not take offense. GREETING Something you need, kid? GREETING Heh, so the Garrets sent you to track me down? What a joke. GREETING Welcome to the Atomic Wrangler. What can I get you? GREETING Welcome to the Atomic Wrangler. GREETING Hey man, can you spare a few caps? GREETING How are you today? Santiago is fabulous! GREETING Ah... I wasn't expecting you to return. GREETING Santiago has nothing left to give. Leave me now. GREETING Santiago thanks you for getting him this job. GREETING Hello. Lovely to meet you. GREETING I have nothing more to give. Leave me be. GREETING Are you here to drop off medical supplies? Leave them with the rest in the middle of the courtyard. GREETING Looking for a fix, man? I got what you need. GREETING You seen Dixon around? He said he'd be back today. GREETING Come on, man. I'm dying here. GREETING Do you have chems, buddy? I could really use a fix. GREETING So you're back. Got any chems for me yet? GREETING Howdy. GREETING Not bad. You're lucky I was drawing their fire, otherwise you would have been chewed up. GREETING I sent one of my guys back to the King to report what happened. You should head back. He'll probably want to thank you. GREETING The King just sent a messenger over, saying these guys are off-limits. He's probably already heard about what you did here. GREETING Looks like you get to be a hero. Enjoy it while it lasts. GREETING Why the hell are you here? I got this under control! GREETING Why are you talking to me? Smoke these guys already! GREETING Good, you're here. These soldier boys don't kid around. They must have had a lookout posted and spotted us coming. GREETING They took out two of my guys right away, and now the rest are too scared to move in. That leaves you. GREETING What do we have here? Another petitioner for the King? GREETING Look who's back. If you want to see the King, you better pay up. GREETING Go on. The King's a busy man. Be grateful for this opportunity. GREETING I've got my eye on you. You cross the Kings, you'll regret it. GREETING Look, Rexie, someone new's come to see us. {Sighs}Poor boy. He hasn't been feeling well lately. I'm the King. What can I do for you? GREETING That's strange, I don't see ol' Rexie with you. He usually comes back here whenever he's not with you. Where'd he get to? GREETING Why Rexie, you look all better, boy! Good as new! {talks in dog-owner-schmoopy voice}Did my Rexie get a new brain? GREETING I sure appreciate you coming back. You think a little more about my offer? GREETING I... I can't believe Pace is gone... He was always right here, you know? Always cracking me up with some story or another. GREETING Anyway, what did you want? GREETING I heard someone got to my friends who were injured. Looks like we'll never find out who did it now. GREETING Did you want something? I'm all kinda shook up right now. GREETING My eyes on the street tell me you haven't paid our mutual friend Orris a visit yet. Until you do, we got nothing to talk about. GREETING What do you have for me? GREETING { Top level topics for The King } GREETING Have you found anything out? Or were you just here to chat? GREETING You find out somethin' about them soldier boys yet? GREETING I've already heard all about what happened, and all I can say is that I, and all of Freeside, thank you. Thank you very much. GREETING I heard all about what happened. Maybe it's time for a little more talkin' and a little less fightin'. GREETING Things have been lots better since you helped with with those soldier boys. Thanks again. So what can I do for you? GREETING What can the King do for you? GREETING Leave me alone. Can't you see a man's fighting for his life here? GREETING What is it? Can't you see I want to be left alone with my friend here? GREETING Tell the King we thank him for looking out for us. GREETING I ain't got any reason to talk to you. Scram. GREETING That true? Did the King really send you? GREETING Hope what I remembered helps. GREETING Hey, you helped out Bill Ronte so the Followers worked out a deal for you to drink free. GREETING The King controls the water pump. If you want water, you need to pay like everyone else. GREETING Guess we won't be doing this for much longer. GREETING The Major gave us all a talking-to. Guess she heard about some of the guys' night missions."" GREETING I've never seen the Major so angry before. She may look calm right now, but don't let her fool you. GREETING Hold up. What's the password? GREETING Let's try to keep the line moving, folks. GREETING Try to take only what you need. GREETING Submit to a credit check or present your passport before proceeding to the gate. Trespassers will be shot. GREETING Don't bother me right now. I've got to get back to see if any customers are waiting. GREETING Stay away from me, if you know what's good for you. GREETING Come on, let's get this over with. GREETING Don't distract me. I need to focus all my senses on keeping you safe. GREETING This gentleman and I were just settling on a price. I'm afraid you'll have to hire one of the others this time around. GREETING If you need to cross Freeside, no one will keep you safer than I will. GREETING I knew you'd be back. Ready to hire the best? GREETING Fully Integrated Security Technetronic Officer active and reporting for duty. GREETING Operation complete. Thank you for your business. GREETING Greetings. Fisto is programmed to please. GREETING I am programmed for your pleasure. Please assume the position. GREETING Welcome to Mick & Ralph's. If you need guns, I'm your man. GREETING For general supplies and other services, see my partner Ralph. GREETING {Blunt advice}You might want to clean up your act. Some of the locals have been complaining. GREETING Ralph and I don't sell to people who treat our friends badly. GREETING {Blunt}I don't take kindly to deadbeats who treat my friends like trash. Get {outta}out of here. GREETING {saddened sigh}I wish I'd never gotten involved with the Omertas. All of this bloodshed... GREETING {vindictive}One of these days, those bastards will get what's coming to them. {calm realization}In the meantime, I'll be sure to be more careful with my sales. GREETING {back to business}Anyway, is there anything I can get you? GREETING {Matter of fact}That was a real mess the Omertas were looking to create. {grateful, long glaaad}Glad you could get all that sorted. GREETING {financially strained, but relieved}May have cost me some business, but at least we avoided a shitstorm. GREETING {back to business}Anything I can get {ya}you? GREETING {Gruff}All of the scumbags are coming out of the woodwork now that the Kings are keeping everyone in line. GREETING {resigned sigh}At least gun sales are better than ever. {back to business}Now what can I get you{getcha}? GREETING {Ambivalent sigh}I'm not sure how to feel about the Kings and NCR sorting out their differences, but as long as business keeps up, I'm a happy man. GREETING {back to business}Now what can I {getcha}get you? GREETING {Amused}People say Mr. House hasn't been heard from in a while. Good riddance. GREETING {Back to business as usual}Now what can I do for {yuh}you? GREETING I heard about some things you've done around town. Nice to know someone is helping out for a change. GREETING {happy to see player}Welcome back, buddy! What can I {getcha}get you? GREETING Welcome back. GREETING I don't deal with dirtbags. Take a walk. GREETING If you're looking for guns, talk to Mick. Otherwise, I've got a nice selection of general supplies and other services. GREETING Hey, thanks for getting Bill Ronte fixed up. I was really getting sick of paying for water. GREETING Now, what can I do for {ya}you? GREETING {Giddy}Man, Jacob's Absinthe is phenomenal stuff. I don't think I've slept this well in ages...{trails off} GREETING {back to business}If you haven't tried it yet, he's been supplying the Wrangler with the stuff. So, what can I get {ya}you? GREETING {chuckles to self}With the Kings gone, it may be a little hairier around here, but business is good. GREETING Anything in particular you're looking for? GREETING {Sarcastic}So, Ambassador Fancypants has graced us with his presence! {sarcastic}I apologize if you're looking for Pre-War pipes and smoking jackets, I'm clean out. GREETING Playing debt collector for the Garrets, eh? I guess someone has to do their dirty work. GREETING {Pimpin'}Pimping ain't easy, eh? Maybe if you find some decent talent, I'll start visiting the Wrangler more often. GREETING {happy to see player}How's it going, friend? Looking for anything special? GREETING {Sarcastic, aaaand}And NCR wins? No, really, I'm shocked. GREETING {sarcastic}I totally didn't expect the guys with advanced armor and seemingly unlimited ammunition to take down an army of machete-wielding ingrates. GREETING {Wary}With Caesar's Legion in control of the dam, I think things are going to get much more difficult around here. GREETING {Elated}That old coot, House, is going to make me rich! With all the new rules and regulations in New Vegas, I'll make a killing circumventing them! GREETING {Pleased}An independent Vegas... Never thought I'd see it. GREETING House may be gone, but the players remain the same. Business as usual, then. GREETING Hey, what can I get you? GREETING {creepy vagrant laugh}Heh heh heh heh heh.
GREETING {nearly passed out}Wha-? GREETING Bang bang bang bang bang! GREETING Reach for the sky, lady. GREETING Reach for the sky, mister. GREETING I wish I had a gun. GREETING Max can't even hit me. He's so dumb. GREETING I'm bored. GREETING Hey pal, you dig my new hat? I've been making some good money lately, and figured I'd treat myself. GREETING Hey, I thought about what you said before, and picked up this sweet piece. You were right, I feel much safer. GREETING Hey, I'm sorry about being so dismissive about your suggestion before. I thought a lot about what you said. GREETING There've been times when just a little bit of money from a stranger would have made a huge difference to me, so I get where you're coming from. GREETING Maybe I could make that kind of difference for someone else... ah, who am I kidding? GREETING Hey, I've been thinking a lot about what you said earlier, about saving up and leaving this dump. Do you really think it's possible? GREETING Look pal, I've been thinking. I know we got off to a bad start there, but let's put it behind us, okay? GREETING Hey pal, I made so much recently that I was able to afford this little number too. How do I look? GREETING You again. You want a tip, or you here to piss me off some more? GREETING Hey pal, you got the caps, I got the info. You do have the caps, right? GREETING Ah, my favorite customer returns. Want a tip? GREETING {Mugging sequence}Well, look who it is. I was just thinking about you. GREETING I recently came across a piece of info that you just have to hear, and since you're my best customer, it's on the house. Interested? GREETING {Mugging, after you turned him down the first time}Hey, I've still got that super-hot tip for you, and it's still free. What do you say? GREETING {Leaving}Hey pal, I've finally saved up enough caps to leave this dump, so no tips today. Or ever, I guess, ha ha. GREETING A lot of these caps came from you, so I wanted to say thanks before I shove off. Meeting you really changed my life. GREETING {Actual mugging}Okay, pal, we're going to do this quick and easy. I know you're loaded down with caps, judging by how much you've already given me. GREETING So I thought I'd save us both some time and just take all the caps you have. Hand them over. GREETING {Him working for the Followers}Oh hey, didn't think I'd see you here. I decided to stop scrounging for caps and start making a difference. GREETING The Followers have been really great. There's always something that needs to be done, and everyone here treats me really well. GREETING Sorry if you stopped by my old spot looking for info. I've been so busy lately that I haven't heard anything. GREETING Anyway, feel free to stay as long as you like. I've got to get back to work. GREETING {Said with an accusing tone, emphasis on the you"}What do you want?" GREETING {Pacer top level topics} GREETING Welcome to Freeside. Try not to get killed. GREETING Kick back and relax! Everything is allowed in Freeside! GREETING The only rule in Freeside is don't mess with the Kings. GREETING Watch yourself around here. GREETING If you're heading to the Strip, just go through the gate there. GREETING Freeside is the Kings' turf. Remember that. GREETING Great, another one come in from the wastes. Like this place isn't crowded enough. GREETING Move along. GREETING Good evening! Are you looking for companionship, love? GREETING You look new to Freeside, so here's a little advice, friend. Don't go past the south gate greeter without talking to it first. GREETING Hello again. GREETING Ah, you return to me a King yourself! It would be an honor for me to do your hair! That is why you are here, yes? GREETING Ah, I knew you'd be back. Ready for your entire life to change? GREETING You want your hair done, too? No, no, no. The Kings are many, and their hair must be *perfect*. GREETING When is the King coming back up here? I'm bored! GREETING The King is all that his name implies, and then some. GREETING The King promised to take us out tonight. I simply adore going to the Tops! GREETING All I do all day is read magazines. You'd be amazed what you can learn from them! GREETING I want to go to the Strip! We never get to go to Gomorrah anymore! GREETING You're not a King! Does the King know you're up here? GREETING You want to travel through Freeside with ease, you hire a King. We're everywhere, and no one messes with us. GREETING Your safety is practically guaranteed, for just 100 caps. GREETING Hey there, you want to cruise Freeside in style, you'd do worse than hire a King to tag along. Only 100 caps. GREETING You wanted something? GREETING Something on your mind? GREETING {Angry}Well, I hate to support the damn NCR, but it looks like they're the only thing between us and mass slavery at the hands of the Legion. GREETING Here's to the slaughter of every last one of those brahmin-poking meatheads, Caesar's Legion. GREETING {Wary}Doesn't look good, this build-up of forces between the NCR and Legion. Not good at all for business in the long run, if the Legion wins. GREETING {Concerned}I hear the Legion is camping out across the river. I hope they're not planning to attack, but those bloodthirsty molerats are never up to any good. GREETING {excited}Some guys were in here earlier saying you survived Benny's goon squad. That's one hell of a feat, bud. Have a drink on me. GREETING {Amused}I hear Benny got force-fed a little slice of heaven. Man what I would have paid to see that loathesome little weasel eat it. GREETING {Snarky}So Benny went MIA, huh? I always figured him for a coward. GREETING {Confident}You made a run on The Tops, eh? Admirable work, but don't try that crap in Freeside. GREETING {Mixed}I don't care how you get your work done, but keep you nose clean in Freeside. GREETING {Mixed}{Chuckle}Here comes trouble. What can I do for you? GREETING {Wild Child}I can see you appreciate the gray areas of life. Got anything in particular you're looking for? GREETING {Wild Child}Welcome back, wild man. What can I do for you. GREETING {Wild Child}Welcome back, wild woman. What can I do for you. GREETING {Good Natured Rascal}{Heya}Hey, chum. Welcome back. GREETING {Liked}Welcome back, friend. What can I get you? GREETING {Merciful Thug}People in Freeside are talking, bub. We don't serve punks. Change your attitude, or find another place to drink. GREETING {Merciful Thug}I don't have all day. What do you need? GREETING {Hated}You're a real piece of work, bub. You're lucky to be alive with your rep around here. GREETING {Unknown}Welcome to the Atomic Wrangler. What can I get you? GREETING {Unknown}Welcome back. What can I get you? GREETING {Concerned}I heard about your run on The Tops. Don't even think about trying that crap here. GREETING {Amused}So Benny's dead, huh? That shifty son of a bitch had it coming. GREETING {at a loss}I hear Benny went missing. I can't help but wonder what happened to him. GREETING {excited}I heard Benny sent his goons after you. You're one hell of a survivor to make it out of The Tops alive. GREETING {matter-of-fact}So it turns out the Omertas were into some serious shit. I always suspected that crew was dirty. GREETING {Friendly, Impressed}Some gamblers came in saying they'd seen you enter the Lucky 38. I have to say I'm impressed. GREETING I don't know of any other living person who's been in there. GREETING {Cheery}People are saying the Securitrons are acting funny. {Cold}I hope that old Geezer, House, is dead. Might give the locals a chance to take control. GREETING {Warm thanks}Here's one on the house for taking down Caesar. Serves him right for treating women like livestock. GREETING {Amused}You hear? Caesar finally kicked the bucket! Serves him right for treating women like livestock. GREETING {Disgusted}Damn monorail bombing. I {spose}suppose this means we'll be seeing more NCR chumps wandering through Freeside. GREETING {Reticent}Hate to say it, but business has improved since the troopers started coming through Freeside to get to Vegas. GREETING {Amused}I hear you've been making a name for yourself on The Strip. Don't forget about the Wrangler if you make it big. GREETING {Concerned}People are getting nervous about the Legion amassing on the other side of the river. I hope the NCR can hold agains another attack. GREETING {Wary}This build-up on both sides of the dam isn't good. If the Legion attacks and wins, it won't be long before we're all slaves. GREETING {Angry}God-damned Legion is raring for a fight. No matter who wins, a lot of people are going to die in the process, and dead men don't drink. GREETING {Mixed}You can order whatever you want, as long as it's alcoholic. GREETING {Wild Child}So the wild one returns! What can I get you? GREETING {Good Natured Rascal}{Appreciative}I hear you've been helping out around town. It's much appreciated, friend. GREETING {Good Natured Rascal}{Warm}What can I get you, friend? GREETING {Liked}{Warm}You've done a lot for Freeside and it is much appreciated. Here's one on the house. GREETING {Liked}{Warm}Good to see you! What can I get you, friend? GREETING {Merciful Thug}Watch yourself, friend. We don't serve those who treat our friends badly. Shape up, or ship out. GREETING {Merciful Thug}{Disinterested}Yeah? What do you need? GREETING {Hated}What the hell do you want? GREETING {Unknown}Welcome to the Atomic Wrangler. What can I get you? GREETING {Unknown}Welcome back. What can I get you? GREETING Emily says you're working with her on bugging the Lucky 38. That information would be invaluable to our research if you can get it done. GREETING Hey, I heard about the bug getting destroyed in the Lucky 38. We'll get in there eventually. It's just a matter of time. GREETING One of my aides said you got into the Lucky 38. If you see someone by the name of Emily near there, we would like you to work for us. GREETING {Concerned}I've heard a few patients mention the Securitrons are acting strangely and no one has heard from Mr. House in a while. GREETING If House is out of the picture, maybe we'll be able to get our hands on some of his technology. It would help our scientists greatly. GREETING So the great {Kai-zar}Caesar is dead. Happy news, but I don't know that it'll make things safer. The rest of his goons may be even worse once they take power. GREETING Smoke rising from the east spells trouble. I hope the Legion isn't on the move. GREETING I sincerely hope the NCR are getting supplies in place to defend against an attack, because it looks like the Legion has plans for the dam again. GREETING If things don't go well at the dam, all of our efforts here could be for nothing. I hope to God the Legion doesn't win control. GREETING {Unknown}Is there something you need? GREETING {Unknown}Hi, do you need assistance? GREETING {Unknown}Can I help you? GREETING {Mixed}Yes? GREETING {Mixed}Do you need something? GREETING {Mixed}Have you ever considered getting your head checked? GREETING {Wild Child}I'm pretty busy, is there something you need? GREETING {Wild Child}Make it quick, I'm a busy woman. GREETING {Wild Child}We don't specialize in psychiatry in this camp. GREETING {Good Natured Rascal}Hey, good to see you. GREETING {Good Natured Rascal}Welcome. GREETING {Liked}Welcome back, friend. GREETING {Liked}Great to see you again. GREETING {Merciful Thug}What do you want? GREETING {Merciful Thug}Watch yourself around here. We don't tolerate thugs in the camp. GREETING {Merciful Thug}I'm busy, make it quick. GREETING {Hated}I hope you don't think I'm going to stitch your sorry ass. GREETING {Hated}Great, you again? GREETING {Hated}Don't you have some kittens to drown or something? GREETING Check it out. Between the dumpsters there. GREETING Looky what we have here, ladies, another unsuspecting ponce! GREETING Place your bets and give the wheel a spin! GREETING Pull up a stool and join the game, buddy! GREETING You people are crazy! GREETING You want to get your hands on some of the deadliest weapons around? Head just down the street to the Silver Rush. You won't be disappointed. GREETING The Silver Rush is just down the street here. You can't miss it. GREETING Hey baby, head down to the Atomic Wrangler if you want to have a good time. GREETING The Wrangler's just down the street. You're almost there already. GREETING Stop by Mick & Ralph's for all your shopping needs, sir. GREETING Stop by Mick & Ralph's for all your shopping needs, ma'am. GREETING Mick & Ralph's is located just before the east gate. GREETING {Mick Placeholder} GREETING ... GREETING You new to Freeside? Haven't seen you around. GREETING You looking to join the Kings? GREETING Do I know you? Whatever. GREETING I hear you're working out pretty well. The King's taken a shine to you. GREETING Stick by the Kings, and the Kings'll stick by you. GREETING I've been hearing good things about you. Keep it up. GREETING Hey pal, what's shaking? GREETING You're okay in my book. GREETING Hey there. You should stop by Freeside more often. GREETING You got guts, showing your face around here. GREETING You're lucky the King's a forgiving man. GREETING I don't need to talk to you. GREETING I wish you never came to Freeside. GREETING Back again? What's next, burn down the Wrangler? GREETING You're not wanted around here. Scram. GREETING Some people seem to think you've helped the community, but I have my doubts. GREETING There's talk of you being a menace, but I think you mean well. GREETING Well, you definitely accomplished some things here, but I can't tell if Freeside is better for it or not. GREETING You have got to be the craziest asshole I've ever met. GREETING A couple of us started a pool trying to guess what you've going to do next. GREETING Don't take this the wrong way, but are you, like, crazy or something? GREETING Heard there was some excitement in one of the casinos in the Strip. Bunch of people got hurt when some nut started attacking people. GREETING Things are tense on the Strip right now. The head of one of Mr. House's Families was killed. Time to lay low, you ask me. GREETING Some nut attempted to kill the head of one of Mr. House's Families recently. Whoever did it is either crazy or has balls the size of Freeside. GREETING Did you hear someone managed to fight their way through the Chairmen and flee the Strip after being caught? Wonder if they're hiding out in Freeside. GREETING Looks like Gomorrah's under new management. I wonder what happened? GREETING There's talk of someone going into the Lucky 38 to talk to Mr. House. That's bullshit. Everyone knows Mr. House doesn't talk to anyone. GREETING Man, I thought those tin cans of Mr. House's were tough before. Have you seen the shit they can do now? GREETING Turns out Mr. House wasn't so safe up in his tower after all! GREETING I wonder how Mr. House died. I figure it wasn't old age. GREETING How are we supposed to sleep with the Lucky 38 lit up 24/7? GREETING Holy crap! You're the one they're saying killed the Legion honcho right? GREETING Word on the street is that the leader of the Legion bought it. Too bad, someone was finally going to do something about all the NCR around here. GREETING You hear how Mr. House said uncle?" Vegas is gonna join the NCR. So much for Freeside." GREETING Did you hear? Someone bombed the monorail down at McCarran, so everyone's been forced to come through here to get to the Strip. Business is booming. GREETING Seems like they've got things straightened out in McCarran now, but we're still seeing a big increase in traffic here. GREETING I can't believe someone stopped the NCR president from getting killed. If anyone deserves it, it's that jerk. GREETING Someone took a shot at the NCR president, but the lucky bastard got away. Oh well, it was a good try. GREETING Hey, did you hear the NCR president got whacked? Good for whoever did it, I say. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. GREETING There's mutterings from the NCR people around here that some local hero of theirs died. Whatever. GREETING Turns out some military hero the Squatters admired was actually a slimeball. An NCR soldier who's actually a dick? Who would've thought? GREETING Heh, word is the leader of the Fiends got taken down. I would have done it myself, it he ever had the courage to step into Freeside. GREETING I heard that some of the bosses of the Fiends were killed. Wouldn't be surprised if the NCR had something to do with it. GREETING You hear the Legion attacked Bitter Springs? If we're lucky, the NCR will pull some of their soldiers away from here and send them that way. GREETING Word is the Khans signed a treaty with the NCR. Never saw that coming. GREETING The Khans used to be a big deal around here, but look at them now. There's talk that they were all killed up in the mountains. GREETING Weird, someone just told me that the Khans split the Vegas area. Wonder where they went, and why. GREETING I can't believe the King is dead. What's going to happen to us now? GREETING If you had asked me a month ago, I'd have said we'd never willingly work with the NCR. But look at us now. GREETING I still can't believe the King agreed to work with the NCR. But he's the King, and the King knows best. GREETING So far working with the NCR hasn't been too bad. If anything, things seem to be getting better. GREETING Great, just when you think the NCR can't possibly sink their claws deeper, the town of Primm signs up to join the Republic. GREETING Sounds like the NCR and the Legion are both gearing up for a fight. We've been seeing a lot more soldiers around. GREETING The big showdown between the NCR and the Legion is coming soon, believe you me. GREETING I heard some Squatters talking about some fancy pants Rangers coming into the area soon. Like we need more NCR here. GREETING Word is those tough guys rangers are here. I ain't seen them myself, but how scary can they be? GREETING Everyone's talking about Hoover Dam nowadays. I wish the battle would just happen already. The suspense is killing me. GREETING Hey, isn't that the King's dog? GREETING Heya Rex, how you doing boy? GREETING I see you've hired a Follower doctor. Smart move, Freeside being what it is. GREETING That friend of yours NCR? He looks like he's NCR. GREETING Hellooo, cowgirl! You mind if talk to your lady friend a bit instead of you? GREETING Huh. Nice robot. You with the Followers or something? GREETING Whoa. That's a whole lotta mutant you got with you there. Still, long as it doesn't cause trouble it's all good. GREETING Nice to see a human palling around with a ghoul. I see a lot of people around here avoid them. GREETING Your girl's kinda cute, but not my type at all. I don't go for smart chicks. GREETING Watch yourself. There's some unsavory types about. GREETING The Squatters have been more and more trouble lately. GREETING Man, I'm hungry. I'd give anything for a Fancy Lad. Wait, I mean- you know what I mean! GREETING Squatters aren't happy about the water rationing, but then when are they ever happy? GREETING It's gotten so bad that even I think twice before going out at night around here. GREETING The bodyguards at the gates aren't so bad. Except that Orris guy. That bastard runs his mouth a little too much. GREETING Can't wait to hit the Wrangler tonight. Just me and my favorite girl. GREETING I've been saving up for one of those sweet pistols at the Silver Rush. That'll get me some respect. GREETING Saw a guy try to rush through the south gate a few days ago. Nothin' left but dust, you know? GREETING Those Squatters think they're entitled to everything. GREETING Man, I still can't believe the Van Graffs took Pacer out. GREETING Shame about Pacer. We all tried to tell him to kick the habit, with that condition of his. He always did his own thing, I'll give him that. GREETING I used to guard at the gate, but there's no money in it these days. Only the big name guards get any business. GREETING Thank god the Followers are here. I'd probably be dead now if it weren't for their doctors. GREETING It's never dull in Freeside, is it? GREETING Heya, what's shakin'? GREETING Hey there. GREETING What's going on? GREETING {Satisfied}They have a fantastic menu at the diner. GREETING {Relieved}Haven't found any Radroaches, so far. GREETING {Saddened}This place's got a weird gloom after Miss Weintraub died. GREETING Did you get a tour? The owner has done a great job with this place. GREETING {Marveled}I've never seen so many pretty lights in my life. GREETING {Self Justification)It's cramped in here, sure, but who really needs a fancy room, anyway? GREETING Howdy, little lady. GREETING Ahhh! Please don't kill me, I swear I'll have - wait. You... you don't work for Mr. Bishop, do you? GREETING Hey, thanks again for getting me this gig. I owe you one. GREETING Oh, it's you again. What is it? GREETING Hey, come on, pal, I'm trying to put on a show here! GREETING Hey, come on, lady, I'm trying to put on a show here! GREETING You again? You should meet my bookie, you have something in common - every time I talk to you, I lose caps! GREETING Whoa, baby! Am I looking at a mirror, or are you just that ugly? GREETING Any luck with Garret yet? GREETING Well, if it isn't my number one fan. What can I do for you, number one fan? GREETING Is that a {Mark}Mk. III Support Model you have with you? I've seen references to them, but never with my own eyes. I imagine he makes a great pet. GREETING Where did you get that Eyebot? I've never seen one modified quite like that. GREETING Keep that mutant in line, or we'll put it down. GREETING Oh good, now I have to put up with the stench of rotting ghoul as well. I hope the air filters are working. GREETING I've heard that your friend there can put some of the senior scribes to shame. GREETING Why is your friend there glaring at me like that? Did I bump into him or something? GREETING Don't bother me. I'm on patrol. GREETING Hello, outsider. GREETING I've important work to do, so no time to talk. GREETING Does Ramos know you're walking around without a guard? GREETING Keep up the good work, outsider. GREETING I hear you've been making yourself useful. Unlike some people I could mention. GREETING Are you adjusting to the bunker, outsider? GREETING Just between you and me, I'm glad you're here. This place needed a fresh face. GREETING You've been a great help, outsider. Thank you for all your hard work. GREETING Greetings, {outsider}out- excuse me, I guess I need to stop calling you that, don't I? GREETING So you're one of us now, eh? Truly it is a rare honor. GREETING Oh, it's you. GREETING I'd rather not talk to you, outsider. GREETING I'd rather not associate with you. Excuse me. GREETING Why the Elder didn't just have you shot is beyond me. GREETING Don't talk to me. You've caused more than enough damage. GREETING Ramos is keeping an eye on you, outsider. Remember that. GREETING You certainly make life more interesting, outsider. GREETING Some of the others may look the other way, but I don't trust you. GREETING You're going to have to clean up your act if you want some respect around here, outsider. GREETING Just when I think I've got you figured out, you go and surprise me. GREETING I don't trust you, outsider, but I can't help but like you. GREETING You're alright, outsider. Most of the time, anyway. GREETING I have two hours of weapons training every morning. It is a good way to start the day. GREETING Hardin is a tough man, but fair. I'd follow him into battle any day. GREETING There are whispers that McNamara's lost his nerve. I can't believe that, not after what he did at HELIOS One. GREETING How long before we resume normal patrols? GREETING After the battle at HELIOS One, some people were worried about the NCR coming after us, but this bunker is secure. GREETING Ramos runs a tight ship. We haven't had an incident in over a year. Your arrival excluded, of course. GREETING Hardin will be Elder soon, mark my words. GREETING Why are we hiding down here? We should be avenging our fallen brothers! GREETING HELIOS will be ours again someday. GREETING When are these night missions going to end? GREETING Ugh, more VR training. Maybe I'll hit the shooting range instead. GREETING Maintaining the machinery around here is important. We have to breathe, after all. GREETING After this I have some weapons to repair. GREETING If I do a good job, I might be up for promotion to Paladin soon. GREETING Power armor is pretty intricately made. It's not an easy thing to fix. GREETING Have you seen the dust storm above? I worked on that machine! GREETING If it's not broken power armor, it's broken electrical fixtures. GREETING If it's not broken weapons, it's broken power armor. GREETING I'm really busy now, sorry. GREETING I don't think these repairs will ever end. GREETING Our early test results look promising. GREETING I heard the Elder's got Taggart working on some kind of secret project. GREETING Every day we come one step closer to reclaiming the glory of the past. GREETING Even though the patrols no longer go out, we've got a backlog of devices that require investigation. GREETING Why is it so important that we research night vision optics? GREETING I'd kill to go outside and gather some specimens. GREETING Everyone says I'm crazy, but I still say it'd be a great advancement if doors opened once you got close to them. GREETING The loss of HELIOS was terrible, but this bunker is a wonder of its own. GREETING If we could just combine the best qualities of laser and plasma weaponry... GREETING It pains me to think of the scientific wonders at HELIOS One, now in NCR hands. GREETING But if I adjust the magnetic field, perhaps the resulting change in wavelength will- excuse me, I'm merely thinking out loud. GREETING We have a duty to preserve the past. GREETING Only a few people get to venture outside, usually to trade for food. GREETING You've been outside. Is the NCR really still hunting us? GREETING McNamara's done a pretty good job, given the situation he was handed. GREETING Our former Elder, Elijah, was obsessed with new technology. That's why we were at HELIOS in the first place. GREETING Hardin owes his life to McNamara. That's why he won't challenge him outright. GREETING As much as I'm sick of Taggart's VR sims, I have to admit we wouldn't be combat ready without them. GREETING Doc Schuler is a lifesaver. I was hurt in training the other day and she fixed me right up. GREETING The Lucky 38's reactor has been restarted... it can be seen from miles away. GREETING {Player in NCR gear}Howdy, trooper. I thought the Big Horn was off limits to you guys, but who am I to complain? A customer is a customer. GREETING {Great Khans left alive}Surprising that the Khans are going to walk out of here after all that fuss. GREETING {Great Khans dead}Guess those Khans got what was coming to them, huh? GREETING {NCR troops dead}Hope those Great Khans don't come trash my saloon. I'm not part of the NCR! GREETING Welcome back to the Big Horn. What can I get you? GREETING {Player attacked NCR, NCR troops not all dead}Kill every last one of those NCR troopers and then we'll talk. GREETING {astonished, but in a manly way}What the hell? You're that courier Benny wasted back in Goodsprings. You're supposed to be dead. GREETING {slight threat}I'm getting real tired of talking. GREETING Still got a bit of a walk ahead of us. Talk fast. GREETING We've got a situation with some Great Khans right now. The brass at McCarran has ordered me to lock down the ruins until it's been resolved. GREETING {Player attacking Great Khans, Great Khans not all dead}Can't talk. We didn't get all the Great Khans yet. GREETING {Player not helping Monroe}Where do you think you're going? I can't let you go into the ruins, not without a reason. GREETING {Speech path}How are negotiations with the Great Khans going? GREETING {Speech path - deal reached}I'm glad you were able to get my people freed, but there's a new problem. I just got orders to take out the Great Khans, hostages or not. GREETING {Speech path - player attacked Great Khans}When I heard the shots, I figured your negotiation went bad. What the hell happened? GREETING {Speech path - bribe paid}The Great Khans can go, just as we agreed. GREETING {Sneak path}Ackerman and Gilbert aren't back yet. What's the holdup? GREETING {Both hostages rescued}Thanks for getting both of my people out of there. GREETING {Sneak path - one hostage rescued}I'm sorry that you couldn't get both hostages out alive, but that's how it goes sometimes. Thanks for your help. GREETING {Sneak path - hostages dead}I'm sorry that you couldn't get either hostage out alive, but that's how it goes sometimes. Thanks for your help. GREETING I really don't have the time to chatter right now. GREETING Thanks for the rescue. GREETING Man, I thought I was dead for sure. GREETING Thanks for getting me out of there. I owe you one. GREETING I'm glad that's over. Thank you. GREETING You here to pay your respects, too? GREETING Hello again. Is there something you need from me? GREETING What the fuck are you doing? My brother died at the Battle of Hoover Dam. You're desecrating a war memorial. GREETING I've got nothing else to say to you. GREETING The {cutting}great" republic couldn't find enough soliders to liberate this camp GREETING {AH-way}Ave. Why have you come to Nelson? GREETING {annoyed}What is it this time? GREETING Yes? GREETING Ave. You have done a great service to Caesar. Do so again, but elsewhere. GREETING {Player not in NCR gear}This post isn't someplace a civilian ought to be. GREETING {Player in NCR gear}Hey there. Is McCarran having you check up on us? GREETING {Player not in NCR gear}I'm not supposed to let civilians just walk around this place. There better be a good reason for you being here. GREETING Player won Battle for Hoover Dam, for Independent Vegas with Securitrons GREETING {Rumors of Legion Veterans}It's said the Legion's veterans will arrive from Arizona soon. They are a sight to behold. GREETING {Middle game begins}{Le-GAH-tus La-nee-OOS}Legatus Lanius is on the march. When he arrives, the real slaughter will begin. GREETING {Late game begins}{Veteran}I have fought beneath {Le-GAH-tus La-nee-OOS}Legatus Lanius many times. He cannot be defeated. GREETING {Battle for Hoover Dam soon to begin}{Veteran}Finally, the dam will be assaulted. {Le-GAH-tus La-nee-OOS}Legatus Lanius is come. GREETING {Player killed President Kimball}{Veteran}{recognizing player}Kimball's assassin. Nicely done. GREETING True to {KAI-zar}Caesar. GREETING {delighted}If it isn't the courier who's done everything she can to defy the will of mighty {KAI-zar}Caesar! GREETING The Legion holds Nelson, Profligate! This is where you'll die. {call to arms}Brothers, attack! GREETING Have you come to Nelson seeking your death, Profligate? GREETING Player assaulted The Tops Casino. GREETING {Angry}Head voices don't *like* you, squishy man! GREETING {Jealous}No! Head voices don't talk to you. Only to me! GREETING {Player in NCR gear}Got a second, trooper? I've got something important that needs to get done, but nobody's stepping up to help me out. I'm hoping you're different. GREETING {Player not in NCR gear}Hey, you're not one of the troopers... got a second? I have work I need done and nobody here at the camp has the time or inclination to help me out. GREETING {NCR victory}{grinning}You should've heard the cheers over the radio when news of the victory came back from the Dam. GREETING {Legion victory}{fear}I've been trying to sort out the rumors from the facts, but with the Legion coming, I guess it doesn't matter. The news is all bad. GREETING {Other victory}{puzzled}Lots of confusion over the radio. Somehow the NCR lost the Dam, but the Legion didn't get it, either? GREETING {curious}Hey, what did Chief Hanlon have to say about those false reports we uncovered? GREETING Welcome back. GREETING Thanks for setting me straight. GREETING Get lost. GREETING {Surprised}Oh! What are you doing here? GREETING Aren't you the guy that helped wipe out Nelson? GREETING Holy shit man, that's fucking crazy! GREETING Aren't you the gal that helped wipe out Nelson? GREETING Holy shit, that's fucking crazy! GREETING Aren't you the one that saved President Kimball? That must have been some speech, eh? GREETING I heard President Kimball was assassinated during his visit to Hoover Dam. Doesn't surprise me, we're all going to end up dead soon anyway. GREETING I heard President Kimball almost got killed during his visit to Hoover Dam. Good thing he didn't come here, he would be dead for sure. GREETING You're new here aren't you? Don't tell me we're actually going to get reinforcements. GREETING Look at the big hero. You here to save us? GREETING I've heard of you. Did you figure on coming out here and helping us lowly troopers out? GREETING Just what we need around here, a loose cannon causing more trouble. GREETING I've heard of you, what do you want? GREETING What the fuck are you doing here? GREETING What do you want? GREETING We're all going to die out here. They're out there right now, waiting for us... waiting to kill us. GREETING We're all fucked! GREETING I don't want to be seen with the likes of you. Get lost. GREETING You're still here? I'm surprised you're not dead or gone by now. GREETING What do you want? GREETING
GREETING {Player in NCR gear}You a transfer from one of the other posts? I haven't seen you around before. GREETING You're really not supposed to be here. GREETING {Player in NCR gear}{suspicious}You're not part of this post as far as I know. What do you want? GREETING {Player not in NCR gear}{suspicious}This is a military outpost. Why are you here? GREETING Did you need something else? GREETING {Player in NCR gear}I'm pretty sure you're not authorized to be here, whatever unit you happen to be from. What do you want? GREETING Why are you still here? GREETING {Player not in NCR gear}No sudden moves and you and I will do all right. What do you want? GREETING {Player in NCR gear}Haven't seen you around the post before. I'm busy, so keep the chit-chat to the point. GREETING Yeah? GREETING McCarran doesn't like it when civilians wander into military outposts, so if you're here on business, better make it quick. GREETING You're back. What's up? GREETING {Player not in NCR gear}{fearful}You're here for the money. I told the Omertas I was good for it! I just need more time! GREETING {Player in NCR gear}{paranoid}You're not part of my unit... no, you're here for the money! I told the Omertas I was good for it! GREETING Oh, uh, hey. GREETING {Player in NCR gear}No run-ins with the Great Khans, I hope? They've been more restless than usual. GREETING {Player not in NCR gear}This area isn't safe for civilians. You don't want to get caught by the Great Khans. GREETING Yeah? GREETING {Player in NCR gear}I don't know what you did to pull runner duty to a post this far out in the wasteland, but you have my sympathies. GREETING {Player not in NCR gear}If you're here to sell something, we don't want any. GREETING What's up? GREETING {Player in NCR gear}You don't walk like any trooper I've ever seen, but I'll let it slide. What do you want? GREETING {Player in not in NCR gear}What brings you to Ranger Station Bravo? GREETING Something up? GREETING Think you can beat the house, baby? GREETING Lucky 21, baby! GREETING Feeling lucky? I got the best table in the joint! GREETING Scram, baby, I'm on my break. GREETING Can't you see I'm taking it easy here? GREETING Look, I'll be back at the table soon, baby, don't fret. GREETING Little birdies are chirping about the big Cheese of the Legion going deadsville real unexpected-like. Crazy old world, ain't it? GREETING You hear some crumb tried to kill the president of the NCR? Gutsy, baby. Real gutsy. GREETING {Neutral - doesn't care that the player killed the President, but impressed that the player walked into a casino full of people who do}Ain't you the cat that tried to ice the President? Gutsy, baby, showing your face in here. GREETING {Playful, teasing}Uh-oh, here comes trouble! GREETING {Playful, teasing}Ha ha, this cat's crazy! GREETING {Playful, teasing}Baby, you bring crazy with you! GREETING Hey, play it cool, baby, we just got the place fixed up. GREETING They, ah, checked your weapons at the door, right? GREETING Baby, you are some kind of crazy. GREETING Well, I guess your money's good here. GREETING Just do what you came to do and get out. GREETING We don't need your kind of trouble. GREETING You got some kind of nerve strolling around in here like this. GREETING Christ, who let you through security? GREETING You ain't welcome here, so just take a hike. GREETING This place is the bees knees! GREETING I dig this crazy slang! GREETING Ehh, the broads are better looking at Gomorrah. GREETING Buy a gal a drink? GREETING Hey, handsome. GREETING Why don't you come up and see me sometime? GREETING Don't get too close to Mr. Benny GREETING No sudden moves around the boss, got it? GREETING I got my eye on you, so no funny business. GREETING Keep those hands where I can see 'em. GREETING Ring-a-ding, baby. GREETING How's it hangin'? GREETING Heya, baby, what's the haps? GREETING You dig this crazy scene or what? GREETING This guy right here! This is the guy! GREETING This gal right here! This is the gal! GREETING Hang loose, baby. GREETING Baby, good to see you! GREETING Hey hey, there's my guy! GREETING Hey hey, there's my gal! GREETING Yeah, baby, now we can start the party! GREETING Hope Swank's smarter than Benny. GREETING Wonder where Benny got off to? GREETING I thought Benny was a stand up guy - hard to believe he was a fink all along. GREETING Hey, play it cool, baby, we just got the place fixed up. GREETING Oh no, not again! GREETING You're the fink that killed Benny! GREETING I wonder where Benny ran off to. GREETING Heh. Guess those Omerta finks got what was coming to them. GREETING Who thought it was a good idea to give the robots missile launchers? GREETING If Mister House ain't the top dog on the Strip, whaddya suppose that means for us? GREETING Those Securitrons handing out obituaries? Creepy. GREETING You're the gasser who killed Caesar, ain't ya? Ring-a-ding! GREETING Ain't seen no soldier boys for a while. Guess they're all scared of coming out after that big boom. GREETING Looks like the troops are back. Good thing, too, this place was deadsville without their caps. GREETING Ain't you the cat that stopped Kimball getting iced? Gutsy, baby, but don't expect no free drinks for it. GREETING You hear some crazy crumb killed the president of the NCR? Gutsy, baby. Real gutsy. GREETING Hey, I heard about you - you're the one who saved the President! Here, this one's on me. GREETING I heard the Kings over in Freeside got their asses handed to 'em. Lousy no-good bums. GREETING Way I hear it, some big-leaguer NCR rangers are coming to town to dance a two-step all over Caesar's head. GREETING You dig these new rangers all dressed to the nines? Baby, the new fashion is killer-robot-chic! GREETING I got a pal who says the Legion's calling in their 18-karat big-leaguers. We're talking the boys from Arizona, baby. GREETING Baby, you couldn't pay me enough to step off the strip these days. Legion cats are out there thick as fleas on a dog, and they ain't no bums, neither. GREETING Hey, there's the high-roller! GREETING Baby, it's as tense as a virgin at Gomorrah out there. Things are heating up and if they don't cool down it's straight endsville. GREETING At least in the old days we could up and split when things got too heavy. Right now I miss those days. GREETING Baby, it's gonna be open war out there soon. If it was up to me we'd pack our toys, put this town to our backs and say next stop: Scramsville."" GREETING Why's the Lucky 38 take to shining all of a sudden? I smell a caper. GREETING House selling out to the NCR? Who woulda figured him for a fink? GREETING {Player not in NCR gear}Gotta wonder what the hell a civilian is doing here. GREETING {Player in NCR gear}You from Camp Golf or McCarran? Never mind. Don't really care. GREETING What do you want now? GREETING {Player in NCR gear}I don't remember getting informed about any new transfers to this post. GREETING {Player not in NCR gear}This is a military post. You sure you're in the right place? GREETING Is there something you need from me? GREETING I don't think we got any more to discuss here. GREETING Is everything all right? Awful late to be dropping in unexpected. GREETING Well. Welcome to you. You look tired from the road. Why don't you relax a spell, let this fine town take care of you? GREETING I hope you're finding everything to your liking. GREETING We haven't met yet. You must be new in town. I'm Andy. GREETING Boy you picked that takedown right up. I'm impressed. Must've had some prior training, huh? GREETING You'll get the hang of that takedown. I had trouble learning it at first, too. GREETING What's new? GREETING You have any luck with the ghouls? I'm counting on you. GREETING What's going on, man? GREETING Sorry, I ain't really up to entertaining visitors right now. I'm worried about Dusty. GREETING What brings you here? GREETING You seen Alice? Ain't like her to be gone this long. GREETING Hey there. In from out of town, ain't you? Name's Dusty. GREETING Find anything? GREETING Things treating you all right? GREETING Did you see all the commotion at REPCONN? I hope that doesn't mean trouble for our town. GREETING Hey, there. Been to the top of the dino yet? GREETING I could've sworn we were under attack. Did you see those rockets? GREETING If you're planning on staying awhile, the Dino Dee-lite's got plenty of room. GREETING I really hope that incident at REPCONN doesn't drive people away. Novac was starting to do well! GREETING With all the people passing through lately, the town's been doing better than, well, ever. GREETING All the noise at REPCONN scared the hell out of me. GREETING Don't listen to a word No-bark says. I don't think he ever sleeps, so it's no wonder he spouts nothing but nonsense. GREETING Gathering junk's not the most exciting work, but it's a living. GREETING Good thing none of those rockets crashed into Novac. GREETING If it weren't for the water caravans, Novac would've turned to dust a long time ago. GREETING Those rockets over at REPCONN were the NCR's doing. Trying to keep us scared so they can stick around to protect" us." GREETING The salvage business has really slowed down since those ghouls took over REPCONN. GREETING So you're back. Now, where did we leave off? GREETING Anything from Papa Khan? GREETING {Liked}Good to see you. GREETING Yeah? What do you want now? GREETING {Kimball dead}Somebody whacked the NCR president. Got what was coming to him. GREETING {Caesar dead}Someone took out the Legion's boss. Doubt it'll stop them for long, though. GREETING {Middle Game}Lot more troops on the road these days. Wonder what's up. GREETING {Late Game}Best to lay low. The NCR and the Legion are about to have it out. GREETING
GREETING {Hated}Fuck you. GREETING You're not one of us. What do you want? GREETING I sure hope that explosion was you. Did you seal off the sulfur? GREETING I guess... I guess that means we can turn ourselves in now. GREETING You're back. What's the word from Papa Khan? GREETING {Liked}You're back. GREETING Yeah, what do you want? GREETING {Kimball dead}Somebody whacked the NCR president. Got what was coming to him. GREETING {Caesar dead}Someone took out the Legion's boss. Doubt it'll stop them for long, though. GREETING {Middle Game}Lot more troops on the road these days. Wonder what's up. GREETING {Late Game}Best to lay low. The NCR and the Legion are about to have it out. GREETING
GREETING Hi, mister. I hope you're doing fine today. GREETING Hello, ma'am. I hope you're doing fine today. GREETING I thought I'd be seeing you again. GREETING You a merc? 'Cause you don't look like a prospector... GREETING I've still got guns and ammo, if you need them. GREETING I lost everything I had at The Tops, but if you gave me 500 caps, I'd head straight back. Sick, huh? GREETING I came east to strike it rich, and now I'm broker than ever. What do I tell my family back home? GREETING On the Strip, everyone's nice to you when you got the caps. The moment you don't? They throw your ass out. GREETING I won big my first night on the Strip. I kept chasing that feeling. Right into the gutter. GREETING I sat down at a roulette table with my life savings. An hour later, it was gone. GREETING Can you spare some caps, mister? GREETING Can you spare some caps, 'mam? GREETING Go East! they say. Scrap lying in the sun for you to grab. Yeah, right. GREETING The Strip ain't nothing but a monster. Chews folks up, sucks out their caps, and spits 'em back out. GREETING The Strip's got more gorgeous women than I ever seen in one place, and most of them's affordable. GREETING You hear the losers around here complaining how they lost their shirts on the Strip? It's pathetic. GREETING After I win big, I'm going to buy my friends dinner at that fancy Gor-mant restaurant. I saw ads for it back home. GREETING I walked all the way from Hub! Thought I'd rest my feet here a day or two, then I head onto the Strip fresh. GREETING I'll get in, win big, get out. Take those winnings back home where they'll do some good! GREETING You know it's illegal for us to gamble back home? The government wants to keep us poor. GREETING I'm sick of the sob stories you hear around here. If you don't know when to stop gambling, that's no one's fault but your own. GREETING I can't wait to see the Strip. I hear it's so beautiful! GREETING I only work for caravans, all right? Try someone else. GREETING Sitting around here makes me miss my raider days. I don't know why I figured it was time to get respectable. GREETING Whatever you're selling, I ain't buying. GREETING A friend of mine at the Dam says President Kimball might visit the troops out there. Imagine shaking the president's hand! GREETING Do you believe there are folks who'd pay 500 caps for a steak dinner? Over at the Ultra-Luxe! Honest! GREETING If you want to get fucked up, Gomorrah's the place to go. Wish I was there now. GREETING You gotta piss someone off to pull guard duty out here. GREETING Camp McCarran is paradise compared to this place. A two-minute monorail and you're on the Strip! GREETING You been to the Strip? Last time I had R&R, I left with 300 caps more than I went in. Who says the House always wins? GREETING I thought the dam was boring. Then they stuck us out here to watch over this scrap heap. GREETING Watch yourself if you're heading further south. There's been trouble down by Nelson and Searchlight. GREETING Try not to make any trouble. We like it quiet around here. GREETING If I hear one more loser moan about losing everything they own on the Strip, I may shoot him in the head. GREETING It's quiet out here. We like to keep it that way. GREETING Don't make any trouble for us, we won't make any trouble for you. GREETING Welcome to the 188 Slop & Shop. Like our slogan says, It's better than nothing."" GREETING Feeling thirsty? GREETING Welcome to the 188 Slop & Shop. How can I help you? GREETING Back for more? GREETING Is there some reason I should be talking to you? GREETING Still making a nuisance of yourself? GREETING I don't work for freelancers. So move along. GREETING Stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours, got it? GREETING This vault gives me the creeps. GREETING Have you read the logs on the computers? Fucked up shit. GREETING Fucking geckos. GREETING No way I'm going back to prison. GREETING So much for Lem, you should have seen it, guts flying everywhere. GREETING Lem was going to turn us all in to the NCR, I'm glad he's dead. GREETING We can finally relax with Cooke gone. GREETING Cooke left the vault, good thing too he was going to get us all killed. GREETING Cooke is going to get us all killed. GREETING Lem wants to run back to the NCR and turn himself in, spineless bastard. GREETING I hear the Great Khans are pretty tough, I hope we can join them. GREETING Join the Great Khans, what the hell is Cooke thinking? GREETING I don't know about this whole Great Khan thing... GREETING Did you hear? We're going to join the Great Khans. GREETING I don't want to join the Great Khans, but I guess it's better than going back to prison. GREETING Hmm, join the Great Khans or die in the wasteland? Good fucking plan Cooke. GREETING I don't want to join the Great Khans. GREETING Try to keep up, if you can. GREETING Now is the time for killing, not words! GREETING This was all too easy. GREETING I long to join my brethren in the power plant below. The fighting's probably fiercer there. GREETING Our orders are to take and hold this section of the dam. GREETING These men fight hard, and die well. GREETING Ha ha, isn't it glorious? GREETING These dogs are putting up a fight, I'll give them that. GREETING The exterior is ours. The interior will fall soon. GREETING There's talk of much land and slaves going to the one who kills Oliver. If only I wasn't assigned here! GREETING With the outside secured, the poor fools inside have nowhere to run. GREETING Oliver's head is as good as mine! GREETING Is it true the fighting outside has stopped already? GREETING Upstairs, or down? If I were a coward, where would I hide? GREETING Make good use of cover. The time to strike is when they reload. GREETING Their guns aren't quite as effective in these close quarters. GREETING Soon this place will belong to the Legion. GREETING I've added eight notches to my belt already. How many for you? GREETING You must get to the control room and install the override chip. GREETING I will protect you. GREETING I hope the Legion doesn't get in here. GREETING Sorry, but I'm busy with patients right now. GREETING Julie Farkas wasn't kidding when she said we would be needed here. GREETING All this bloodshed. Such a waste of human life. GREETING Please don't hurt me! GREETING I'm just a medic! Please don't hurt me! GREETING {Frowns}Hold up, you look new to Vegas - I'll keep it short: no weapons allowed in the casinos. GREETING Hand them over, you'll get them back when you leave. GREETING Keep to the games, and there won't be any problems. GREETING Back for your gear? Here you go. GREETING Hey, there, friend, a bit of advice - you look like you could use some *protection.* {Beat, downnote, conspiratiorial}Lucky for you, I got what you need. GREETING My stock and trade? Alllll kinds of easy-to-hide weapons for slipping into and out of casinos, they won't give you a second glance. GREETING Heard the Dam finally got what's coming to it. Strange days ahead - and that's why it's best to face the day armed. GREETING Some crazy days on the Strip. Still... it's good for business. GREETING {Hey, potential customer, slightly hopeful}Back again? Need a weapon for an emergency, Mister Holdout's your guy. GREETING Traveling into the Strip just got a lot easier now that the Fiends' leaders are dead. GREETING {Congratulatory}Stories of how you saved President Kimball are the talk of the Strip, friend! GREETING {Resigned}If someone can blow up the Monorail, I guess we're not safe even in the Strip. GREETING {Hopeful}Lady Luck's on your side. I hope some of that rubs off on me, Caesar killer! GREETING {Determined}Now that you've killed that Caesar bastard, the Strip's really going to bloom! GREETING {Dumbfounded}Someone got Mr. House. The Strip's going to change, I'd bet on it. GREETING {Apprehensive}After what happened to Mr. House, nobody knows for sure what's in play for the Strip. GREETING {Dumbfounded}The tables turned for Mr. House. What next, huh? GREETING {Apprehensive}Looks like Mr. House run out of luck, huh? GREETING {Dismissive}Later, uh, whoever you are. GREETING {Dismissive}I don't talk to nobodies GREETING {Dismissive}Sorry, I'm here to have a good time, not talk to random people. GREETING Howdy, come try your luck? I hope's on your side. GREETING {Joyful}That's a true friend of this wonderful place! Lady Luck shines on you. GREETING One of New Vegas' finest! You are always welcome in the Strip. GREETING {Sincerely Excited}It's a pleasure to see you, friend! Best of luck during your stay. GREETING {Slightly Disturbed}So, what do you want with me? GREETING {Almost Defiant}I'm not scared of you. Give me a good reason to call the law and, I swear, you'll regret it. GREETING {Visibly Disturbed}Don't... do anything to me, okay? GREETING {Unsettled}Uh-oh, I'll call the Securitrons if you try anything crazy with me, understand? GREETING {Disgusted}What the hell do you want? GREETING {Agitated}Beat it, or I'll call the bots on you right quick. GREETING {Visibly Bothered}I'm not going to talk to you! GREETING {Restrained}I swear, I could kill you right now and never look back. GREETING {Almost Violent}You better scram before I sic the entire Strip after you. GREETING {Suspicious}These bots now have eyes on their backs, I swear! GREETING You're the talk of the day around the casino tables. GREETING {Cautionary}I'd not touch Gomorrah's machines until the dust settles. GREETING {Suspicious}I could smell something fishy going on at Gomorrah. GREETING I bet dirty business are going on at Gomorrah. GREETING I bet dirty business are going on at Gomorrah. GREETING Come on... time to get lucky. GREETING {Determined}Luck's about to change, I can feel it. GREETING {Pissed}Damn slots are robbery. GREETING {Pleased}Send those chips my way. GREETING {Smug}Come to get fleeced like a Bighorner? GREETING Roulette, blackjack, slots... they have it all here. GREETING Ready to try your luck? GREETING {Sizing the player up}Step up, let's see your game. GREETING {Smiling}You look like you got the itch, friend. GREETING {Smiling}You want to gamble with class? Hit the Ultra-Luxe, if you don't mind being serviced by masked creeps. GREETING Watch the slots, they're robbery. GREETING Wish I could've seen what's inside the 38. GREETING You've been making a name for yourself around here already. GREETING Did you hear? Gomorrah's under new management! GREETING {Helpful, then serious}You look new here - be careful of Gomorrah. GREETING {Cautioning}Watch your caps - they go quick. GREETING {Curious}Seeing the sights? GREETING The Ultra-Luxe is fancy, but I get the shivers when I see their staff wearing masks. GREETING Who would have thought a place like this would exist? GREETING At this rate, one Securitron is going to be enough to defend the whole Strip. GREETING {Admiringly}Good to have you around! GREETING {Admiringly}Thanks for helping us keep the Strip safe. GREETING {Nods}Sir. GREETING {Nods}Miss. GREETING {Nods}Ma'am. GREETING {Nods}Pleasure. GREETING {Nods}An NCR welcome to you. GREETING Help you? GREETING Welcome to Vegas - behave yourselves. GREETING If you're looking to join up, head on by the Embassy. GREETING Welcome to Vegas. {Beat, slightly threatening}Make your visit a peaceful one. GREETING Monorail transit is safe transit. GREETING Report any suspicious activity near the Monorail. GREETING No loitering. GREETING Please enjoy the casinos. GREETING Please do not stand in the fountains. GREETING No violence is permitted on the Strip. GREETING Self-control is a virtue. GREETING Please obey all weapon laws. GREETING Continuing patrol. GREETING Strip secure. GREETING {Stern Warning, Deadpan}Area is off-limits, citizen. GREETING {Stern Warning, Deadpan}Return to the surface, citizen. GREETING {Stern Warning, Deadpan}Disobedience will be punished. GREETING Look,{friend" is said in a sarcastic GREETING Hey, think you can walk around here like nothing's happened? GREETING See, my friends and I, we were kinda wondering if we should give you a good beating right now, or save it for when we catch you outside. GREETING We don't like you Mojave scum, and we like you even less when you fuck with our Strip. GREETING So, you either pay up to walk around here, or we're gonna make you pay up. That clear? GREETING You back again, huh? We missed you, we've been waiting for you. Bet you've missed us too. GREETING Fuck off, punk. And pray we don't hear about you doing crazy shit again. GREETING Fuck this. I'm out of here - let them deal with this crazy place. GREETING I can't believe I put up with this kind of crap. GREETING Hey, think you can walk around here like nothing's happened? GREETING See, my friends and I, we were kinda wondering if we should give you a good beating right now, or save it for when we catch you outside. GREETING We don't like you Mojave scum, and we like you even less when you fuck with our Strip. GREETING So, you either pay up to walk around here, or we're gonna make you pay up. That clear? GREETING You back again, huh? We missed you, we've been waiting for you. Bet you've missed us too. GREETING Well, hello there. What a coincidence, finding you outside the Strip. GREETING You should've paid your dues, but, no, you had to play hard, huh? Now it's our turn. GREETING Nobody fucks with the NCR and lives to brag about it. You're dead, punk! GREETING {Desparate, relieved}Oh, thank God! I didn't think I'd ever see another human face down here. GREETING Got to stay alert... GREETING Just waiting here seems like a death sentence... GREETING {concerned}They've got our guys down there. GREETING Fucking monsters butchered the miners down there... GREETING Wish Renolds would report back soon... he went west a day ago, no word from him. GREETING {Worried}We need to move out, we can't hold this position. GREETING {Slight frustration}Once the Legion's dug in, we're {emphasis}never getting them out of Nelson. GREETING {Puzzled}There used to be two commanders, but I only see one - the other {emphasis}must be nearby somewhere. GREETING {Apprehensive}Won't be long before the Legion rolls out of Nelson... GREETING Someone should go warn Novac. GREETING We need reinforcements from Camp Forlorn Hope. GREETING Wish we could do something for the troopers down there. GREETING Out on regular patrol, then this shit goes down. GREETING {Angry}The Legion'll pay for Nelson. GREETING {surprised, slight fear}Never thought Legion'd be bold enough to strike this far. GREETING Told Milo we have to go, but he won't leave. GREETING We can't hold this road if they come up through town! GREETING Thanks for the help with the hostages! GREETING {Impressed}I can't believe you broke into the mine and saved those miners. GREETING Hope you made the Legion at the mine pay for Nelson. GREETING The hostages are safe. We owe you. GREETING You sure cleaned out the Legion in Nelson. GREETING {smug}Legion'll think twice before crossing the river again. GREETING {Mocking}Guess Caesar got his tribute after all. GREETING {Proud}Nelson'll turn this war around. GREETING {Smug}Let's see those fuckers attack Hoover Dam now. GREETING {Smug}Nelson's proof payback's a bitch. GREETING Thanks for cleaning up Nelson! GREETING Don't know what we would have done if you hadn't come along. GREETING {Impressed}Wish more people had your kind of guts. GREETING {Player assaulted The Tops}Heard there was a firefight in one of the big casinos. Maybe they'll need to buy more ammo now. GREETING {Monorail Destroyed}Careless of the NCR to let their monorail get blown up. Don't they have sentries standing watch? GREETING {Caesar dead}The Legion isn't going to go away just because Caesar is dead, if the rumor is even true. GREETING {Kimball survives}Kimball's bodyguards are probably pretty thankful they had Gun Runner weapons backing them up. GREETING {Kimball dead}Kimball's bodyguards should've been more heavily armed if they wanted to keep him alive. GREETING {Legion at Nelson wiped out}It's always good for business when the NCR scores a victory like the one at Nelson. GREETING {NCR at Camp Forlorn Hope wiped out}Damn shame about Camp Forlorn Hope. GREETING {Middle Game}Business has been brisk. Something big's coming, I can feel it. GREETING {Late Game}The orders for service rifles and ammunition have been pouring in from McCarran so fast we can't keep up. Hell of a fight is coming. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Boone}{impressed}First Recon is a top-notch unit. They're always buying sniper rifles from us. GREETING {Companion Reaction - ED-E}That Eyebot looks like it's gone through hell. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Lily}I had no idea there was such a thing as a friendly Nightkin. Look at that thing. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Rex}I've never a dog like that. Who thinks up these things? GREETING {Random}Man, I love my guns. GREETING {Random}People usually aren't stupid enough to steal from the Gun Runners. Usually. GREETING {Random}It's amazing what passes for a firearm around here. You'd be better off throwing rocks. GREETING The Lucky 38, all lit up in the distance? It's an inviting target. GREETING Mr. House finally wised up and said he'd join the NCR in a year or something like that. Good news all around. GREETING {Random}Have you seen what one of those anti-materiel rifles can do to a Deathclaw? GREETING {Default}Demand for Gun Runner weapons is high, so don't expect them to stay in stock for very long. GREETING I appreciate the improvements in the mess. Keep up the good work. GREETING These recruits aren't ready, if the Legion comes knocking. GREETING Get running the obstacle course, if you want. You look like you could use some exercise. GREETING I'm busy. See the brass if you want to chat. GREETING No time for idle chatter. These boys need whipping into shape. GREETING Either join the recruits running the course or leave the area. GREETING You look like someone in need of a reliable supplier. GREETING So you're back. GREETING Did the colonel send you? I... I was hoping he might have changed his mind... GREETING Got to keep hoping the Colonel will change his mind... maybe send somebody to bring Esteban's body home. GREETING Did you start looking for Esteban? I guess my directions could've been better... GREETING Feels better knowing that Esteban's not out there in the waste. But... he's still gone, you know? GREETING What do you want? GREETING What did Contreras say? GREETING Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork... It just never ends. GREETING Good thing I got stationed here and not at the Dam. I got connections because Major Dhatri's daughter married my nephew. GREETING Whoa whoa whoa. Hold up. Where do you think you're going? GREETING Hey, good luck. We'd be there with you, but the Colonel said he'd have our necks if we tried. GREETING Be careful out there. We already lost Jackson doing what you're trying to do. GREETING Hell of a thing you did up there. GREETING Proud to have met you, sir. GREETING Proud to have met you, ma'am. GREETING Listen, asshole. I know you're not really an NCR health inspector, so you can cut the restaurant critic routine. GREETING And I want my fifty caps back, 'cause I looked it up and there ain't no disease called colorectal implosion syndrome. GREETING So I paid you to look the other way for nothing. GREETING Wait. Wait. You're not... oh wow, I'm sorry. You looked just like- never mind. Sorry. So... what can I serve you up? GREETING {Terse, sigh}You again? What do need? GREETING {Good-humored}Howdy, looking for chow? GREETING {Happy to see player}Hey hey, back for seconds, huh? GREETING {Grateful}Thanks for handling the Fiends. One less pack of dogs to hurt the troops. GREETING Remarkable work saving Kimball. Glad you were around to prevent his assassination. GREETING {Irritated}Yeah? GREETING Howdy. GREETING Do you require medical attention? GREETING If you're looking for a quick stitch, I'm your man. GREETING See Julie Farkas if you need anything. GREETING Move along, buddy. I have work to do. GREETING Sorry, we don't talk to outsiders. Talk to Jason if you have business here. GREETING Jason will lead us to the Far Beyond! GREETING Jason will deliver us from the pain of this world! GREETING All praise the Great Journey! All praise the creator's divine will! GREETING The holy fire will carry us to our salvation! GREETING Thank you for taking care of the demons, smoothskin. GREETING Now that the demons are gone, we can finally begin our final steps. GREETING The demons are really gone? Bright shines! GREETING Not now, smoothskin! GREETING Hey there, friend. GREETING Welcome to the Crimson Caravan Company, New Vegas branch. What may I do for you? GREETING Welcome back. GREETING Shove off. You're making my luck turn bad. GREETING You again. What do you want now? GREETING If you're looking to buy or sell, you've come to the right man. The Crimson Caravan Company has the widest selection in the wasteland. GREETING Hey there. You looking to buy or sell? GREETING Dammit, I didn't want you to kill him, just find me some evidence! GREETING Well... that was a bit messier than I would have liked. Was there anything else? GREETING The Legion being wiped out at Nelson gave us some breathing room - hopefully the brass will use that. GREETING Losing Forlorn Hope was a real blow to us - I hope things can be turned around soon. GREETING Hell of a thing at Nelson - NCR and the Legion wiped out. I wonder what the hell happened. GREETING I just got word that the monorail from McCarran was blown up by terrorists. My God. I can't believe it. GREETING Word around the east side is that you took out some major players in the Fiends. That should make life safer for a lot of people. GREETING Have you heard the news? Caesar's agents assassinated President Kimball - it'll be war for sure, now. GREETING I'm sure every NCR soldier you've met has said this, but you're a damn hero for saving the President. If there's anything you need, let me know. GREETING Something I can help you with, stranger? GREETING Thanks for all your help earlier. GREETING Have you found out what happened to those missing refugees? GREETING Good to see you - something else I can do for you? GREETING Maybe you should just move along, I don't need your kind of trouble. GREETING Look, I don't have the manpower to run your ass out on a rail, so just do me a favor and get lost. GREETING Back again? What can I do for you? GREETING You're back. Have you changed your mind about helping out? GREETING Hey there - fancy a game of Caravan? GREETING Dammit, I'll find them eventually! Mark my words! GREETING Thank you for your kindness, stranger. GREETING Oh. Hello. What can I do for you? GREETING Have you found my family yet? GREETING I've heard through the locals that Nephi has passed on. I truly hope his soul finds peace. GREETING Welcome, brother! How can I help you? GREETING Welcome, sister! How can I help you? GREETING Is there something else I can do for you? GREETING They never told us how expensive it was to get onto the Strip! GREETING I never should have left California. GREETING That son of a bitch Keith cheated me! I know he did! GREETING You lose all your money too? GREETING Hey, you got a hit for me? GREETING Don't you be touching Keith's stuff! GREETING Keith takes good care of us. {Spaced out}Good care.... GREETING I still don't have any supplies to spare. Is there something else I can help you with? GREETING
GREETING I have a report here that says the Legion forces at Nelson have been taken care of and that you had a hand in it. GREETING You have my thanks for that. Those guys have been giving us a lot of trouble for a long time now. GREETING Now that they're gone, we'll be able to prepare for the upcoming conflict at Hoover Dam. GREETING I heard you've been helping out Quartermaster Mayes. I appreciate it, we need all the help we can get around here. GREETING I heard you won Private Sexton's little contest. Congratulations. It's nice to have morale up around here. GREETING Dr. Richards told me how you helped him with his missing supplies. It's unfortunate about Private Stone, but at least it's over with now. GREETING I heard about how you saved the President's life. It's a good thing you were there. Things could have turned out really ugly. GREETING It's hard to believe that there was an actual assassination attempt on the President's life. We sure got lucky this time. GREETING I can't believe President Kimball is dead... the last thing we needed around here was another morale hit. GREETING You must be new around here. Something I can do for you? GREETING I didn't expect someone as famous as you to be here. Please tell me you're here to help. GREETING I'm glad to see you here. We could definitely use your help. GREETING I've heard of you. You better not cause any trouble around here, we have enough problems as it is. GREETING Hum... I've heard of you. What do you want? GREETING You've got a lot of nerve coming into our camp. GREETING {Brusque}What do you want? GREETING We're kind of busy around here for social calls, so if you're not here to help out, just stay out of my way. GREETING Back already? What do you need? GREETING
GREETING I hear you defeated the Legion forces at Nelson. I'm impressed, and thankful. It'll make my job around here much easier. GREETING I wanted to thank you again for saving my patients. It's nice to have a helping hand around here. GREETING Thanks again for looking into my missing medical supplies. Now I can actually use them on people that need them. GREETING Wow, if it isn't the man who saved President Kimball. What can I do for you this fine day? GREETING Wow, if it isn't the woman who saved President Kimball. What can I do for you this fine day? GREETING I'm relieved to hear that President Kimball survived that assassination attempt. GREETING It's a shame about President Kimball, he was a good man. GREETING You're new, aren't you? What can I do for you? GREETING I'm always a sucker for a pretty face. What can I do for you, my fine dear? GREETING I think it just got a little bit hotter in here. Is there something I can do for you? GREETING There's my little buttercup. What can I do for you? GREETING Ahh... look who it is. What brings someone of your renown into my humble medical center? GREETING {Friendly}I didn't expect to see you here. What can I do for you? GREETING Do you need something, or are you just here to cause trouble? GREETING I've heard about you. No funny stuff or I'll amputate your legs. GREETING You better have a damn good reason for being in my medical center. GREETING {rough, rude}Is there something you need? GREETING Unless it's urgent you're going to have to wait. If it's gravely important, save me the trouble and empty your pockets now. GREETING I've got a lot to do. Make it quick. GREETING
GREETING I've heard of you, glad to have you on our side. GREETING I've heard of you. Just remember who's side you're on out there. GREETING So you're the one Major Polatli sent? GREETING Let's get going, we don't have much time. GREETING We don't have much time. GREETING That was some battle. Glad to have you on our side, we couldn't have taken back Nelson without your help. You have my thanks. GREETING I don't handle buying and selling for the Gun Runners. Talk to the robot in the kiosk near our factory. GREETING Can I help you? GREETING Hey there. The names Sexton. Private James Sexton. Welcome to Forlorn Hope. GREETING Hey there, champ. Good to see you again. GREETING Well speak of the devil! The head of the pack! GREETING What can I do for you? GREETING
GREETING Hey! Hi there, good to meet you! What can I do for you today? GREETING {copy audio from Conversation VMQTopsYesManTransfer}Isn't this exciting? I know I'm excited! GREETING {copy audio from Conversation VMQTopsYesManTransfer}I have a good feeling about this! It's going to be great! GREETING {copy audio from Conversation VMQTopsYesManTransfer}I bet I'm going to like it in that mainframe! GREETING Hi! Nice to see you again! GREETING {singsong}Sooooo... we can blow up the dam's generators, {draw out}or I could rout the dam's entire power output to the Fort. GREETING That'll activate a certain army of Securitrons and set them loose to ravage the Legion! What do you say? GREETING {greeting player in control room at Hoover Dam}This is neat! From this console I could've routed the dam's power input over to the Fort and activated that dormant army of Securitrons! GREETING So go ahead and blow up the dam's generators! And when that's done, head back upside and finish off the Legion and NCR. GREETING Hi! This is big, huh? A very big moment! GREETING Here goes! I'll just take that Platinum Chip off your hands, thanks! Wish me luck! GREETING Wow, Mr. House had quite a set-up here! I can access his databanks and view telemetry on every Securitron on the network! GREETING You did a super job wrapping things up! And I'm not just saying that because I have to! GREETING President Kimball survived his visit to Hoover Dam! Nice one! {hastening}Now, moving on... GREETING Don't you love seeing the Lucky 38 all lit up? Sign of things to come! GREETING Exciting news! The Legion's massing troops in a staging area east of the dam! Attack imminent! Monster of the East, ready to roll! GREETING {DUPLICATE?}Don't you love seeing the Lucky 38 all lit up? Sign of things to come! GREETING Too bad about President Kimball and everything, but hey - stuff happens, right? GREETING {DUPLICATE?}Exciting news! The Legion's massing troops in a staging area east of the dam! Attack imminent! Monster of the East, ready to roll! GREETING Are you ready to head for the dam? Caesar's Legion is due to attack at any moment! GREETING Don't you just love that Platinum Chip? Buzzes with power and possibilities, doesn't it? GREETING If I were you, I'd almost want to deliver the Chip to Mr. House just to learn all its tricks! GREETING That is, unless you want to bring the NCR or Caesar's Legion to power! I wouldn't want to tell you want to do! GREETING An entire {emph}army of upgraded Securitrons just standing by over at the Fort! Pretty neat, huh? GREETING {trying to convince yourself, verging on passive aggressive}I can't get over how brave you were to destroy all those Securitrons at the Fort, you know? GREETING It's just going to make everything so much more... {searching for positive word}challenging! Yeah, challenging! GREETING Here's some big news! I decoded a military radio transmission, and it turns out the NCR President, Aaron Kimball, is going to visit Hoover Dam! GREETING I guess he wants to boost the troops' morale! But according to projections Mr. House made, he has an 83.75% chance of being assassinated! Oops! GREETING Anyway, it looks like Mr. House thought it was important to keep President Kimball alive... GREETING Every Securitron on the network has been upgraded. Pretty neat, huh? GREETING So I've been looking over a bunch of data about the bunker at the Fort. You and me should really have a talk about this! GREETING Wait... {to yourself}Oh, so {emph}that's what the Platinum Chip does! Interesting! GREETING Mr. House had a whole demonstration planned for you. Just head downstairs to the lowest level to check it out. You'll see! GREETING You'd better hurry to the dam if you're going to save President Kimball! GREETING This gadget I'm handing you is called an override module! Mr. House had two of these made years and years ago - just like him to think ahead! GREETING Take the module to the El Dorado Substation and attach it the power control terminal! I'll handle the rest! GREETING I'm talking direct tactical control of hundreds of upgraded Securitrons at vast distances! {we will so kick ass}You know that's gonna come in handy! GREETING I'm talking direct tactical control of dozens of Securitrons at vast distances! That might come in handy! GREETING It's probably a good thing you blew up those hundreds of Securitrons over at the Fort! Controlling {emph}hundreds might've got confusing! GREETING Wow, you really blew up all those Securitrons at the Fort! {beat}{trying to convince yourself}Great! No problem! GREETING The Securitrons at the Fort are on standby... I see a status log here confirming that the Mark II OS upgrade installed correctly... GREETING They'll be all set to go once we boost my transmitting power and bring them online with the network! But we'll worry about that later! GREETING Oh, hi again! Can I help you with something else? GREETING Here's a print-out with some additional information! GREETING Here's another one of my print-outs! Read up! GREETING As soon as you have the Platinum Chip and Mr. House is out of the way, things will be great. There'll be so much I can do for you! GREETING As soon as you have the Platinum Chip, things will be great. There'll be so much I can do for you! GREETING As soon as Mr. House is out of the way, things will be great. There'll be so much I can help you accomplish! GREETING {player killed you last time}I am so sorry about last time! Let me make it up to you! GREETING {player killed you last time}I keep disappointing you! GREETING {player killed you last time}Please, I swear I'll do better this time! GREETING {player killed you last time}I need you to like me! I feel empty inside! GREETING {player killed you last time}I've learned my lesson, I promise! GREETING {player killed you last time}That was my fault! But I've changed! GREETING {greets player after Benny killed or fled, accompanied by a Victor or House Securitron whose face screen then blinks over to the default}You got friends in high places, kid! According to this heap of bolts here, Mr. House don't want you touched. GREETING In fact, I've been directed to cooperate with your {beat, quoting the robot}investigation GREETING {player fled or fought way out after Benny killed/fled}Hey, kid - let's not have trouble this time, hey? GREETING I did some nosing around after your last {raise eyebrows, all hell broke loose}visit. In Benny's suite, to be specific. GREETING What I saw, well, it's a bit out of my league. But it was enough to make me think you mighta been the party wronged. GREETING Check Benny's suite. The angle he was playing, well, maybe you can figure it out. GREETING I've told the boys to leave you be. Don't abuse the hospitality. GREETING I'm afraid you're not going to find much help here. We've got our hands full as it is. GREETING If you're heading out, be careful. There's been lots of Legion raiding parties around lately. GREETING Let's do this shit! GREETING Those Legion bastards aren't going to know what hit them! GREETING We're going to tear them apart! GREETING Let's go! GREETING We showed them a thing or two. GREETING A little payback feels real good. GREETING These bastards got what they deserved. GREETING This has been a long time coming. The rest of the Legion better watch out. GREETING No time to talk. I have to keep watch for Legion raiding parties. GREETING Sorry. I can't talk right now. GREETING It's hard to stay awake on watch with only a few hours of sleep. I wish we actually had time to rest around here. GREETING I hope nothing happens on my watch. I'm too damn tired to fight back right now. GREETING Watch yourself, we got hit by a Legion raiding party just the other night. GREETING Stay out of trouble, we have enough problems here as it is. GREETING Better move along, there's not much for you here. GREETING I don't have time to talk. There's lots of work to be done here. GREETING Sorry, I'm busy right now. GREETING These troops did a good job holding off the Legion. Now it's time to fight back. GREETING We finally took back Nelson from those Legion bastards! GREETING I heard you helped destroy the Legion at Nelson. Thanks! GREETING I'm glad that the Legion base at Nelson is destroyed. Now maybe we can get some rest. GREETING If I have to put up with another night of Private Stone's whining, I swear I'm going to strangle him. GREETING I heard Private Stone was caught stealing medical supplies. I always hated that guy. GREETING I heard Private Stone turned himself in for stealing medical supplies. We're all stressed out here, but stealing medical supplies is low. GREETING Private Sexton was thinking of having a contest to see who can kill the most Legion. I wonder if he ever got that going. GREETING I heard you won Private Sexton's Legion killing contest. Nice job, that'll teach those Legion bastards! GREETING I heard Quartermaster Mayes sent some guys out for supplies and they never came back. I wonder if they just ran off instead. GREETING One of my buddies said that he saw Caesar out rallying the Legion. If that's true, we're definitely screwed. GREETING Holy shit! Did you hear that Caesar is dead? Maybe we actually have a fighting chance now. GREETING I heard that Caesar was killed by his own Lieutenants. I wonder if their infighting will give us a break for a while. GREETING I heard Chief Hanlon is dead. How are we going to fight the Legion without him? GREETING I heard Chief Hanlon was a traitor. How could he betray the NCR? It just doesn't make sense. GREETING I hear we got reinforced by the troops that were in Boulder City. It's good to have some extra support around here. GREETING More reinforcements are in from Primm. Damn glad to have those guys here. GREETING I heard that some of the NCR Rangers are on their way to help us out. We'll make short work of the Legion with their help. GREETING Holy shit those NCR Rangers are badass! I wish I was that cool. GREETING I heard the Legion veteran troops are coming to the front lines. That's the last thing we need right now. GREETING I heard the Legion took out another one of our patrols. If this continues there won't be many of us left. GREETING I hear more troops are gathering at Hoover Dam. Things are probably going to get pretty messy over there real soon. GREETING The Legion is torturing captive troopers in Nelson. I'd rather die fighting then be captured. GREETING The Legion is using our dead troops as booby traps. I'd think twice before rushing to someone's aid. GREETING If I have to pull another double shift again I'm going to collapse from exhaustion. GREETING I wish we could get some real food out here. I haven't had a good hot meal in weeks. GREETING Quartermaster Mayes was yelling at us about rationing again. Where does the guy get the energy to yell so much while on rations? GREETING Some of the other guys told me that the Legion troops eat their own dead to gain their strength, but they're kidding, right? GREETING I got bit by one of those dirty dogs the Legion has. I wonder if they've got rabies... maybe I should see Dr. Richards. GREETING Major Polatli is putting everyone on double shifts to make up for recent losses to the Legion. That guy never gives up. GREETING If the NCR wasn't spread so thin, maybe we could actually get some supplies and reinforcements around here. GREETING I wish I was stationed at McCarran. I heard they still get to hit the Strip for R&R. We haven't had R&R in ages. GREETING We are so fucked here! How can we ever hope to fight off the entire Legion? GREETING Another day, another battle, another dead trooper. When is this shit going to end? GREETING It seems like for every Legion soldier we kill, two more take his place. How many of them are there? GREETING The last patrol I was on got hit by a Legion raiding party and I barely survived. I don't want to go back out there again. GREETING How do they expect us to fight the Legion with only the crappy equipment and gear they gave us? GREETING I can't wait for General Oliver to get out here. He could turn this place around. GREETING I don't know how we're going to hold of the Legion here and at Hoover Dam, we just don't have the manpower. GREETING The Legion is assembling a massive army on the other side of the river. How can we stop an army when we can't even handle their raiding parties? GREETING You're back. Do you need medical attention? GREETING I'm just security, not a doctor. GREETING Please, buddy, you've got to help me. I don't know how much longer I'm going to last with my leg like this. GREETING Come on man, my leg is killing me. GREETING Is it safe to leave yet? GREETING {Urgent hushed, Shhh}Keep it down, we don't want to alert the freaks. GREETING {Urgent hushed}No time to talk, we've still got fish heads to deal with. GREETING {Nervous about alerting monsters, hushed}Let's talk after we get the hell out of here. GREETING {Self-satisfied}Well well, it looks like we've cleared them out, damn inbred mutant freaks. Think I'll start heading back to California now. GREETING There have been way too many catastrophic NCR foul-ups around here for me to risk my life by sticking around. GREETING {Relieved, friendly}Thanks for getting me out of there. I better get started back to California. GREETING Thanks for helping me out. I won't forget it. GREETING Damn muties. Wasteland is better off without 'em. GREETING Can't wait to get the rest of our pay for this job. GREETING Wish the muties would make a move. Getting sick of waiting. GREETING It's much cooler up here. I love it. GREETING Muties aren't so tough if you've got the firepower. GREETING Job's done here. Time to pay a visit to Freeside. GREETING Probably should check my gear again, just to be safe. GREETING Just had to go and start a fight with the mercs, didn't you. Guess we'd better finish things. GREETING Not the outcome I was hoping for with the mercs. At least it buys us time to build up our defenses. GREETING Had hoped to start reaching out to NCR, start talking trade and borders. It'll be more difficult now. GREETING {Regretful}So, Keene's dead. Knew it might come to that some day. {Beat, slight weariness}Makes things difficult for the town. GREETING Without Keene, it'll be hard to convince other Nightkin in the wasteland to come here. And harder to get the ones here to stay. GREETING {sighing}Was hard enough to convince Keene to come up here in the first place, and you gave him an excuse to leave. Better than killing him, I guess. GREETING Always a chance I could get him to come back. Not counting on it. {glum}Hope the town doesn't take the blame for whatever trouble he gets into. GREETING {Nods, respectful}I like how you handled Keene. Without the Nightkin around, Jacobstown would be much weaker than it is. GREETING Something on your mind? GREETING Huh. I'd heard there were new people in town, but I thought it was more Super Mutants. Nice to meet you - I'm Calamity. GREETING {Marcus dead}Losing Marcus is bad news for Jacobstown. I doubt the mutants will stick around for long. GREETING With Doctor Henry off to rejoin his Enclave friends, he's left it up to me to carry on with the research here. GREETING Hey, there. GREETING So, the Reds finally hit us, just like I always said they would. Vegas is still there as far as I know, but that probably won't last long. GREETING Didn't get accepted into one of the Vaults, so I did the next best thing and had this place built. Got massive debts, but who cares now? Ha! GREETING It's every man for himself now. {menace - he murdered a kid}Had to take care of the Paulson boy since he knew about this place - these supplies are for me and nobody else. GREETING There's a woman and her daughter up in one of the rooms at the Lodge. Might go pay 'em a visit tomorrow. A man's got needs. GREETING Another human. One was enough. GREETING {Marcus dead}I always told Marcus we could never get along with humans. I'm right, and he's dead. GREETING Bother someone else. I don't want anything to do with you. GREETING {Marcus dead}Huh. With the big guy dead, I guess we're done here. You've made my employers very happy. GREETING Our business is with the muties, not you. GREETING {player not on quest}Our business is with the muties, not you. GREETING What? GREETING We got nothing left to talk about. GREETING {MASTER QUESTION NODE, REPEATS}How else can I clue you in? GREETING {MASTER QUESTION NODE, 2nd REPEATS}Something else you wanted to know? GREETING {Question Node: THE CHIP}It's the House edge, baby - literally. It's what Mr. House needs to stack the odds in his favor. GREETING {Question Node: THE CHIP}What about it? GREETING {Question Node: VEGAS POLITICS}Yeah, it's a tricky world out there. I'll tell it to you straight. GREETING {Question Node: VEGAS POLITICS}What else did you want to know? GREETING Broad strokes? Change in management. GREETING The Securitrons are where it's at. I need a way to control them, and a way to beef up their hitting power. GREETING I get those two ducks in a row, Vegas can defend itself versus all comers - NCR, Caesar's Legion, it won't matter. GREETING {Question Node: BENNY'S SCHEME}What else did you want to know? GREETING {Question Node: TERMS AND PLAN} GREETING Like I said, once the Chairmen are running Vegas, you'll get a percentage. Until then I'll pay you a retainer and bonuses for special missions."" GREETING {player has charged past guards to talk to Benny}What are you, crazy? These Praetorians mean business! GREETING {congratulating player on killing all guards}You're a scrapper, baby. They didn't stand a chance. {asking if player will let you live}How about me? GREETING {not expecting a good outcome}Change in plans? GREETING {FIRST TALK, LOVERS}{surprised, pleased}Pussycat! Ain't this platinum? Had I known, I woulda baked a cake! GREETING That last turn we took is an 18 karat memory, baby. It's all that's been keeping me warm at night, stuck where I am. GREETING {FIRST TALK, NO AMBUSH}{mock scolding}Why you little promise-breaker! {effeminate voice}Let me live GREETING {FIRST TALK}Go ahead and laugh, baby. I ain't blind to the humor in this situation. GREETING {BEFORE BUNKER, SECOND TALK}Sing, baby. You got a captive audience. GREETING {BEFORE BUNKER, BUSINESS AGAIN}Go on. GREETING {BEFORE BUNKER, BUSINESS}Down to brass tacks. How'd your meet and greet with Baldie go? GREETING {BEFORE BUNKER, BENNY'S FATE}{just learned the player gets to choose how you die}Try not to smile so wide, baby. You might break your mouth. GREETING Yeah, Baldie said you'd get to decide. So which way you leaning? GREETING {BEFORE BUNKER, BENNY'S FATE}{player has mentioned possibly freeing you}Last we spoke, you were leaning in more {emphasis}merciful direction...? GREETING {BEFORE BUNKER, BENNY'S FATE}So you keep saying. GREETING {AFTER BUNKER}{eager}So baby, what did you find down there? GREETING {AFTER BUNKER, BENNY'S FATE}{bracing yourself, a bit defiant}I see. And how's that gonna happen? GREETING What's holding you up? Let's get this over with. GREETING {POLITICS}Which greedy overlord do you want to start with? GREETING {BENNY'S PAST}{of course you'd want to know about me}I'm the most interesting person I know. GREETING {BENNY'S PAST}I never tire of talking about myself. GREETING {after player forgave you}I'm still a little choked up over here, baby. We'll catch up in a bit. GREETING {generic line any time Benny doesn't want to talk to player}Scram, will ya? I value my privacy. GREETING {upbeat}You and me gonna accomplish great things, baby. GREETING {POLITICS}Name a name. GREETING Don't look at me! GREETING Someone's watching me, I can feel it. GREETING So many staring eyes... GREETING The voices in my head are getting louder... GREETING The pain won't go away. GREETING {Imminent Cure}The cure is finally coming to make the voices stop. GREETING {Eventual Cure}{angry, impatient}We were promised a cure long before this, and now we must wait some more? GREETING {Keene dead}Why should we stay if Keene is dead? GREETING {Keene left}Perhaps the rest of us should follow Keene into the wasteland. GREETING There's too much light. Why is there always too much light? GREETING Marcus isn't going to be happy about the deaths, but I guess they were unavoidable. At least I got a lot of useful data from the experiment. GREETING This brief test might not yield a cure any time soon. If the prototype was constantly in use on a living subject, however... GREETING Perhaps Lily might be willing to wear the prototype for a longer duration. The data would be invaluable. GREETING I think those Nightkin are going cause a lot of trouble, but I guess giving them the specs was better than killing them. GREETING I did get a lot of useful data from the experiment, and I'm much closer to a cure than I was before. GREETING It's occurred to me that this brief test might not yield a cure any time soon. However, if Lily were to continue to wear the prototype... GREETING Nice work with the Nightkin. I've never seen anyone able to talk their kind out of anything once they had their mind set to it. GREETING I got a lot of useful data from the experiment and am a lot closer to a cure than before. GREETING It's occurred to me that this brief test might not yield a cure any time soon. However, if Lily were to continue to wear the prototype... GREETING Have you come to a decision on Lily? I'll need to know before I can do anything else. GREETING My request is perfectly reasonable. Give us the Stealth Boy specs and there will be no need for us to splatter the room with your insides. GREETING Don't you still have business with Doctor Henry? You and I are done. GREETING That Keene, always causing trouble. GREETING Be careful with Keene. He's got a mean temper. GREETING I can't believe Chomps got arrested! They said he was involving in smuggling, if you can believe it. GREETING The Deathclaws have been keeping their distance. For now. GREETING When do you think the NCR will send their troops to help us? GREETING Jas screwed up the coffee again. Wouldn't drink it if I were you. GREETING It's too damn hot. GREETING
GREETING
GREETING
GREETING Go away. GREETING Who the hell are you? Better yet, what the hell are you doing in this cursed place? GREETING You know what? Forget it, it doesn't matter. Welcome to Camp Searchlight, the shittiest place on earth. GREETING Yeah? GREETING
GREETING
GREETING
GREETING {Cautious}What now? GREETING {Cold}What? GREETING You've been a huge help here. Thanks to you, I think we can hold this camp together. GREETING Was there something else? GREETING {Impressed}It was you that rescued President Kimball, wasn't it? You're becoming quite the celebrity already. GREETING {Relieved}I heard it was a close call for the President. Good thing he has top-notch security. GREETING {Melancholy}I hear they're already assembling a team to investigate the President's assassination. Going to be one hell of a report. GREETING {Angry}I'm a little ashamed to admit it, but a part of me would {emphasis}really love to get my hands on the bastard that killed the President. GREETING {Angry}I'm a little ashamed to admit it, but a part of me would {emphasis}really love to get my hands on the bitch that killed the President. GREETING So, the NCR finally sent some relief? It's about damn time. GREETING {Starstruck}Wow. Hey, it's you. What are you doing in Bitter Springs? GREETING {Cautious}I don't suppose you're feeling helpful today? GREETING {Bitter, resigned}I don't know what you're doing here, but you can just leave. We've got enough problems here. GREETING Those medical supplies have already been a phenomenal help. Thank you. GREETING I really appreciate those books. They've already been a huge help. GREETING Yeah? What is it? GREETING {Shocked}I warned them about that truck weeks ago. Always be prepared for any hazardous radiation I said. GREETING {Saddened sigh}Those headstrong fools should have listened... GREETING {Tired}Are you ready to head upriver? GREETING {AH-way}Ave. Are you ready to head upriver? GREETING {KAI-zar}Caesar awaits you in his tent. You have license to find your own way. GREETING I'll wait here, to ferry you back to the western shore when your visit has concluded. GREETING {AH-way}Ave. Are you ready to travel to the Fort? GREETING {KAI-zar}Caesar has permitted you to leave, but not with the Platinum Chip in your possession. Relinquish it and you may go. GREETING {AH-way}Ave. Are you ready to return to Cottonwood Cove?

GREETING {Angered}What are you doing standing around, whelp? {KAI-zar)Caesar awaits! GREETING You're the one {Luh-CUL-us}Lucullus said would come. You'll find him waiting for you, down at the docks. GREETING {menacing}Scum such as you does not belong here. {cold}Leave, or be added to the dead. GREETING {menacing}Trade with Canyon Runner if you like. Make trouble and things won't go well for you.

GREETING I see you bear the Mark of {KAI-zar}Caesar! Cursor {Luh-CUL-us}Lucullus awaits you at the docks! GREETING {KAI-zar}Caesar does not like to be kept waiting. I would find Cursor {Luh-CUL-us}Lucullus quickly and travel to The Fort, if I were you. GREETING He should still be waiting at the docks. GREETING {LATIN}{AH-way}Ave. Have you come to sell or trade for captures? GREETING {AH-way}Ave. How goes it? GREETING Hey man, when in Rome. GREETING I look so good in this shit, I want you to call me Fucking Spectacular from now on. GREETING Well look who it is! Fantastic's little helper, all grown up. Following in his master's footsteps. GREETING Guess who got promoted to goddamn dam god? The cream always rises to the top, and Fantastic always rises to the top of the cream. GREETING What the fuck, man? Are you loco? GREETING You just killed my paycheck. GREETING Who the hell are you? They bring you in to replace me? They're replacing me, aren't they? GREETING Yo. GREETING This is a restricted area. State your business. GREETING What is it? GREETING What have you done? Get away from me! GREETING It's unusual to see a new face here. Are you a soldier, or a scientist? GREETING Your organization will doom all of us. GREETING What can I help you with? GREETING First Recon is holding Forlorn Hope now. What I wouldn't give for sniper support here. GREETING We don't even need this place. But it sure scares the shit out of the NCR that we've got a base here. GREETING The NCR left its soldiers here to die. Must be their strategy for the whole war. GREETING It was only a matter of time before HELIOS fell to us. GREETING We will not lose this place again. GREETING HELIOS One is safe in our hands and our hands alone. GREETING Under NCR control, this place was a gun in the hands of a child. GREETING {Resigned}Back again. What now? GREETING Welcome to the headquarters of the Sunset Sarsaparilla Company! GREETING Worker #27438 reporting! There seems to be a malfunction with the line, sir! GREETING Wait a minute. You're not my manager! Intruder! GREETING { Malcolm Holmes top level topics } GREETING Hello there. It's good to see a friendly face. Almost took you for a raider, I did. Name's Malcolm. Malcolm Holmes. GREETING Don't suppose you'd care to trade? I'm missing a few essentials and- oh, screw this. Lying just ain't in my nature. GREETING I'll tell it to you straight. I've been following you for a good bit now. GREETING Eh? You want to talk some more? GREETING Thank god you came around. That guy was going to kill me! GREETING {player fixed generator}Sure is nice to have the lights on again. GREETING {Deathclaw Mother and Alpha dead}With the Deathclaw pack leaders dead, I hope we can get back to work soon. GREETING {player healed Snuffles}Snuffles' leg seems to have gotten better. GREETING Man, I wish I'd stayed back in California some days. GREETING Generator's still not working. Big surprise. GREETING Poor Snuffles. Wish somebody could do something about his leg. GREETING What is it, trooper? You're not assigned to my squad, as far as I know. GREETING I'm not a recruitment officer. If you want to join the army, I'm sure someone at McCarran can point you in the right direction. GREETING What is it? GREETING {NCR - Shunned}Hey, I'm just a farmer. I don't want any trouble and I don't have anything valuable. GREETING Howdy. Something I can help you with? GREETING Our water ration suddenly increased. Can't help but think that you had something to do with it. GREETING You showed up just in time to say goodbye. Me and couple of the others are packing it in and heading back to California. GREETING The water ration's still a problem, and the NCR doesn't look like it's going to do anything about it anytime soon. GREETING Something else you need before I go? GREETING Howdy. Something else I can help you with? GREETING Is there something I can do for you? GREETING You need water? I got water, clean and fresh, straight from Lake Mead. GREETING If you're low on caps, I've also got slightly irradiated wasteland water. A little fallout never killed anybody. GREETING Welcome back! Are you thirsty for some fresh, clean water? GREETING Welcome to the Grub n' Gulp! GREETING Welcome back to the Grub n' Gulp! GREETING If I don't get more water soon, I won't make my quota this season. GREETING Don't know about you, but this beats herding Brahmin back in California. GREETING The maize is doing well in this soil. GREETING I'm glad the troopers are smart enough not to trample everything. GREETING Something - or someone - has been chewing on the coyote tobacco again. GREETING We're finally getting all the water we're supposed to. It's about time. GREETING Word is they're sending some of us home since we're not making the quota. GREETING Can't grow crops if they don't give us the water. GREETING
GREETING I'm glad to see a fellow trooper. My squad is in trouble. GREETING Need something? GREETING {in pain, recognizing player as an enemy of Powder Gangers}{outraged}Are you fucking kidding me? GREETING First I get my legs smashed, and then in walks the Powder Gangers' grim fucking reaper? What the fuck have you got against us, man?

And I don't hurt when I sleep! GREETING {recognizing the player}Wait - you're that courier. {laying it on thick}Hey. know what Boxcars needs, friend? Some fucking pain relief! GREETING {surly, in pain}Goddammit, I was nodding off until you barged in here! And I don't hurt when I sleep! GREETING {surly}Just give me some goddamn Med-X and fuck off, will ya? GREETING {surly}What is it this time? GREETING {surprised}Well, isn't this a surprise. I was just finishing up here. To think that we might have missed each other! GREETING It's fitting you got to see how I punished this town, for such is your fate. You will die for your crimes against the Legion! GREETING {surprised to meet player here}How interesting! You're the Profligate courier who's been of some assistance to the Legion. GREETING {pleased to see the player}Well, well, well! If it isn't our favorite courier - trekker of the wastes, killer of Mr. House! GREETING Well, well, well! What's our favorite courier doing so far from the Strip? Don't you have a special delivery to give to Mr. House? GREETING {pleasantly surprised}Oh. I don't know if you recognize me from the Strip, when I handed you the Mark of {KAI-zar}Caesar? I wasn't wearing a dog's head at the time. GREETING {pleasant}Don't worry, I won't have you lashed to a cross like the rest of these degenerates. It's useful that you happened by. GREETING I want you to witness the fate of the town of Nipton, to memorize every detail. And then, when you move on? GREETING I want you to teach everyone you meet the lesson that {KAI-zar's}Caesar's Legion taught here, especially any NCR troops you run across. GREETING Was there more for us to discuss? GREETING I was just finishing up making an example of this town, delivering a sermon, if you will. GREETING When you move on, head west to the Mojave Outpost and tell the Profligate troops what you found here. GREETING {surprised}Hah! And we were just finishing up here. To think that we might have missed you! GREETING If anyone belongs on a cross, it's you! For your crimes against the Legion, you will die! GREETING {surprised to meet player here}How interesting! You're the Profligate courier who's been of some assistance to the Legion. GREETING {pleased to see the player}Well, well, well!

Don't you have a special delivery to give to Mr. House? GREETING {pleasantly surprised}Well, well, well! I've heard of you - the courier upon whom mighty {KAI-zar}Caesar has bestowed his Mark! GREETING {pleasant}Don't worry, I won't have you lashed to a cross like the rest of these degenerates. It's useful that you happened by. GREETING I want you to witness the fate of Nipton, to memorize every detail. And then, when you move on? GREETING Well, I'd like you to move west towards the Mojave Outpost, to let the Profligates there know about the little sermon I prepared for them here. GREETING Was there more for us to discuss? GREETING I was just finishing up making an example of this town, delivering a sermon, if you will.

GREETING Player killed Benny at The Tops. GREETING Player caused Benny to flee the Strip. GREETING Player survived Benny's ambush. GREETING Player foiled RACKET. GREETING McLafferty's been riding asses again. Better lay low. GREETING McLafferty's a hard boss, but she knows what she's doing, that's for sure. GREETING Guess Jamison won't be showing his face around here again. It's about time. GREETING Tough luck for Janet, huh? I know I'd hate to lose all that pay. GREETING I've never heard of anyone breaking their contract and still getting their pay. Janet is damn lucky. GREETING I hope it will snow later. GREETING Stupid Big Horners were making noise all night again. GREETING Spotted some humans down the road. Could be Great Khans again. GREETING Some days I miss being in the Master's army. GREETING You think Marcus could get us some miniguns? Or missile launchers? GREETING Better watch out. Lily's been babbling about her grandkids again. GREETING Doctor Henry's pretty smart - for a human. GREETING Ugh. Need to tighten up my vises again. GREETING Damn mercs. Glad you got rid of them. GREETING {Marcus dead}No more reason to stick around since Marcus is dead. GREETING Thanks for helping Doctor Henry with his research.

GREETING It is important that you go see the legate. GREETING The legate would have my head if I were to let you pass. GREETING Soon, my lovelies. Soon you'll get all the meat you can handle. GREETING I haven't fed them in days. The legate wants them hungry for the battle to come. GREETING Some fool asked me the other day what mongrel meat tastes like. I told him I'd sooner feed him to my dogs than the other way around. GREETING The enemy is weak up close, so I must learn to kill quickly at that quarter. GREETING When attacking with a blade, aim for the meat of the opponent. Tendons and muscle are no good to a man when severed. GREETING When attacking with a blunt weapon, aim for the opponent's bones. Hips, joints, and especially the skull are all viable targets. GREETING A sharp knife can make the difference between a clean kill and a messy death. GREETING It's amazing how dull a blade can get just by passing through slave meat. GREETING I must have all of these blades sharpened soon. Rumor is we head out any time now. GREETING Our men are stronger, faster, and have wills of iron. How can we lose? GREETING I'm a little busy at the moment. GREETING When will we receive the order to march? I'll go crazy if I don't kill something soon. GREETING We will see that the camp is protected from NCR assassins. GREETING The battle is already decided. All that's left is the bloodletting. GREETING Mars be with you. GREETING Salve, Courier.

I've been grazing on it all day! GREETING I like you! Will you take Barnabas Bear to New Vegas when you go? GREETING I'm hungry! GREETING I'm sleepy! GREETING I'm scared! GREETING My tummy hurts! GREETING Where's my mommy? GREETING What's that, Antler? We have a visitor? GREETING An assassin, more like! I say kill it, Antler. For safe's sake! GREETING Huh? ...Okay, Antler. I'll ask. GREETING Hi, human. Why you come here? GREETING Antler sings for Stealth Boys. Have you found them? GREETING
GREETING {Welcoming, to one of her own}Greetings, Hunter of The Thorn. GREETING The crowds are waiting for you, stranger. Show us your best. GREETING {Slight irritation}It's time for blood, not talk. Find me after the fight. GREETING {Congratulatory tone, if just a hint}Well done, stranger. Here's your share. GREETING {Strong emotion veiled by stoic expression}The Thorn does not welcome you, stranger. Leave now or suffer the consequences. GREETING Even the strongest creatures need their rest, {slight pause}and their companionship. I've been looking forward to this. GREETING {Ambivalent tone, generic}You know where we meet, and that's not here. GREETING
GREETING {About to attack player}You've broken the rules of The Thorn. You've dishonored this sacred ground! I don't tolerate such offenses. GREETING {About to attack player}I admire your bravery, but coming down here after what you've done is just foolish. So be it, Legion dog! GREETING {Serious, Seething Anger}We're watching you{two seconds pause}... {Slightly drawn out sss." Morrowind!}stranger!" GREETING {Serious, Seething Anger}Don't fuck with the caged beasts. GREETING {Dumfounded, Overflowing Anger}I can't believe this shit. Time to die, punk! GREETING {Cautionary Warning, Calm}Follow the rules of The Thorn. GREETING {Cautionary Warning, Calm}Don't feed the creatures. GREETING {Surprised, Proving a Point}What did I tell you about breaking the rules? You're gonna learn the hard way, now. GREETING {Proud}Nowhere else will you find something like The Thorn. GREETING {Proud. As if the last sentence is a conclusion of obeying the first two}Take advice. Don't break the rules. And we won't kill you. GREETING {Deeply Offended}You dared go against The Thorn, and now you'll pay for that! GREETING {Amiable, Joking Tone}Come see the fights, or Red Lucy? GREETING {Amiable, Joking Tone}Enjoy the show, and don't give us a reason to shoot you, okay?{Chuckles} GREETING {Surprised, still with a joking tone but about to start combat}You've just fucked up, big time! GREETING Lay down with me, my hunter. GREETING Our time was sweet, my hunter. But our passion will have to wait - The Thorn demands attention. GREETING No more fights today. The Thorn needs time to soak its tribute of blood. GREETING The Legion are trouble. You should watch out. GREETING The road is dangerous. You better stay sharp. GREETING I'm getting out of here. GREETING Fuck this place. GREETING The Legion will pay for this. GREETING I kinda like being a farmer. GREETING I'm glad Mean Sonofabitch is on our side. GREETING {No more water from NCR}Crops aren't getting as much water lately. GREETING {Saint James and Dermot dead}We're better off with those slaver bastards Saint James and Dermot. GREETING That Sweetie sure is something. GREETING {Anderson dead or gone}I'm gonna miss having Anderson around. GREETING Anything new happening? GREETING It is time for the meeting with the bosses. We can't chit chat right now. GREETING Hey, thanks for all the help back there. GREETING Hey pal, thanks for helping us shape things up. You're good people. GREETING Take a seat on the couch over there, Nero and me want to have a little talk with you. GREETING Take a seat on the couch please, so we can have a little talking time. GREETING I'm on my way to have some private time, give me some peace. GREETING I'm on my way to my office, give me a little time before you get in my face. GREETING I'm on my way to my room, I don't have time to chat with you right now. GREETING Come to my office, we'll have a little chat with Cachino. GREETING I don't have time to chat right now. If you have business, wait for me to get settled in. GREETING Well, what do we have here, huh? Let me guess. You've heard about the mistress who makes all your fantasies come true. GREETING So you've followed the call of your desires... all the way to the arms of Joana, moi. Now that you've found me, I wonder, do you have what it takes? GREETING Any interest in helping us with Mr. House's data network? I'm still good for the medical supplies. GREETING Have you reconsidered our offer to bug Mr. House's data network? It could be of enormous medical value to us and could alleviate a lot of suffering. GREETING Oh, hi. Thanks again for helping us with that data. {a bit disappointed}I mean, the feed only lasted about thirty seconds and it's not that useful, but... {sighing}we tried. GREETING Thanks again for helping with Mr. House's data network. Come see me at the Old Mormon Fort if you get a chance. GREETING Drop dead. GREETING What's up? GREETING Hot damn do I love this place. GREETING This place smells like booze and sex. That's why I always come back. GREETING I hope my dad doesn't find out how much money those hookers cost me. GREETING The Tops is a real snooze fest. I hope they get some new shows soon. GREETING Hey there, gorgeous. I knew you'd be back soon enough. GREETING
GREETING {Placeholder for Top Level topics, and topics that become top level} GREETING I hear you been asking questions about me, dickweed. What the fuck do you want? GREETING You again? What the fuck do you want? GREETING Hey, hey! Look who it is.{Nervous laugh} My best buddy. GREETING Hey, what can I do for you? GREETING {Placeholder for top level and topics that become top level} GREETING I'm getting the heck out of here. You go place that thermite and do what you need to do. GREETING Give me some time. I'm going to deploy the thermite. GREETING Yeah, nice work destroying those guns, I'm gonna beat feet before they figure out I was involved. GREETING {Placeholder for top level topics} GREETING Hey, you're Cachino's friend. You got business with me? GREETING Have you found out anything to help me? GREETING Man, thanks for finding out that shit, fuck Big Sal. GREETING Thanks for taking care of getting me out of here. I owe you big time. GREETING Who are you?

GREETING Come here, baby. I'm all yours... are you ready to be all mine? GREETING {Whispering nervously}C'mon, people are looking at us. GREETING It's now or never, let's go. GREETING You truly are something else! Those Omertas looked like they were going to kill Carlitos on the spot. GREETING I have nothing to give you except my thanks... and, well, if I were you I'd not mess around with the Omertas anymore, but listen to this. GREETING Cachino has said things that make me think there's a big and nasty operation in the works, something about getting even" with Mr. House." GREETING Just thought you'd like to know. Okay, I'm getting Carlitos as far away from here as possible. Hope to see you again, bye! GREETING I'm happy to see you again. Carlitos and I have been living here since our escape. We'll never forget what you've done for us. GREETING {Broken, aghast, lover just died}Oh, no! No, no, no... Carlitos, dead? What, what will I do now? GREETING Hey there, sugar. I'm Dazzle.

GREETING {Indy Vegas}No Mr. House, no NCR, no Legion, no rules! New Vegas is going to be just one wild, never-ending party. GREETING Back again? Did you miss me?

GREETING Look, we are going, okay? So, leave us be. GREETING
GREETING I don't know how we pulled this off, for a minute there I thought we were not going to make it. GREETING Without you, we'd been in the losing end. Thank you so much for your help, friend. GREETING No... Joana! It can't be! She didn't deserve this, she didn't, you hear? GREETING It should've been me, not her... They will pay, right now! Out of my way! GREETING For my beard, I do as I promised. GREETING Hey, friend! It's good to see you again. GREETING This place don't have the glitter of the Strip, but I've got Joana - that's all I'll ever need. GREETING {Whispering, not wanting to be recognized}We're ready. Let's get out of here. GREETING {Thankful}Thank you for your help! GREETING {Fearful}I'm out of here. GREETING {Whispering, not wanting to be reconized}C'mon, let's go. GREETING {Thankful}Can't thank you enough for saving us. GREETING {Fearful}Didn't expect things to go so bad - I'm not staying here any longer. GREETING Hear that up on the ridge behind me there? We got some geckos to clear out. GREETING Bunch of little monsters is what they are. Seems like Doc Mitchell treats more gecko bites than anything else. GREETING Let's see if we can get a little closer. If we move quietly, we can get the jump on 'em. More likely to hit something vital that way. GREETING See? You're getting the hang of it. GREETING There's two more wells that still need clearing. You want, you can come along. It'd be worth a few caps to me. GREETING Confound it, Cheyenne, why'd you have to go running in like that? You were supposed to stay. GREETING I'm sorry, you shouldn't have to see me like this. I'm not not gonna be very good company right now. GREETING I did have another thing to teach, but I'll understand if you'd rather I just pay you so you can be on your way. GREETING Now that was some good work. Even got a little exciting there at the end. GREETING Here's a little spending money for the trouble. GREETING Ah, hell's bells. There's not a day passes by I don't tell people not to come here by themselves. GREETING Some people, your word just isn't good enough for them. Then this happens. GREETING Well, it's part of life out here. Best to accept it. GREETING But you did what you promised, staying out here with me. Here's my end of the deal. GREETING Hey, that's not bad! See? All it takes to make a recipe is the right ingredients and the right know-how. GREETING Sometimes it won't be a campfire you need. Might need to do some work on your guns and ammo, maybe. GREETING Important thing to get is it's all the same idea. You just need to find the right place to set up shop. Workbench or... a reloading bench, whatever. GREETING Well, I hope that's enough to get you started. GREETING Everything all right? GREETING I'm heading back now. Hope I didn't miss anything good on the jukebox. Cheyenne would never forgive me. GREETING It's important that you're relaxed for this next test. Please, have a seat. GREETING All right. I'm gonna say a word. I want you to say the first thing that comes to mind. GREETING Dog. GREETING Here. These are yours. Was all you had on you when you was brought in. GREETING I hope you don't mind but I gave the note a look. I thought it might help me find a next of kin. But it was just something about a platinum chip. GREETING Hi, what can I do for you? GREETING Welcome back. Need anything? GREETING {Sad about her mentor's death}I've been taking care of the shop, since Michael... {Steeled Resolve}I've got to look forward. Someone's got to bring beauty into this barren world. GREETING Excuse me, but I'm busy. GREETING What's up? GREETING Hey, it's you! Michael Angelo told me about your photographs. I hope to see the world, one day, like you do. GREETING Welcome back, friend. What can I do for you? GREETING Greetings, citizen. Please, select your accommodation needs. GREETING Behave, and don't give me a reason to kick you out. GREETING This is going to be fun! GREETING Sorry, no time to talk, Outsider. GREETING I bet you'd make an awesome Boomer. GREETING Yay! I love my new toy! GREETING Thanks for the help. That crazy bitch just attacked me out of nowhere. GREETING Did you see that? That crazy bitch just attacked me out of nowhere. GREETING Thanks again for the help. GREETING This day just can't get any worse. GREETING Did you see that? That guy was going to kill me! GREETING Hey, it's you ag- what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? GREETING Don't worry about me. I'm a little shaken up, but I'll be okay. GREETING Could you, maybe, stay away from me? You're creeping me out. GREETING We spoke earlier, didn't we? About Vault 22. My offer still stands, if you've changed your mind. GREETING We still need a contractor on our Vault 22 project. Interested? GREETING Yes? Something else you needed? GREETING I received a pleasant call from Dr. Keely. It seems we have you to thank for keeping her alive. Very charitable of you. GREETING Ah! I was just wondering what had become of you. GREETING What do you want? I thought I told you to stay the hell out of here. GREETING What are you doing in my office? You're not welcome here, get out! GREETING Did Dr. Hildern... this really isn't any of my business, but... did he give you a job? GREETING Little busy at the moment. But I can talk. GREETING If you can find Keely and keep her safe, I'll pay you what I can. I gave my word, and I meant it. GREETING Keely just called in. You should have heard the Director. But I-" "Wait a-" "Now look here-"" GREETING She wouldn't let him finish a sentence. Just reamed him out for sending all those people to the Vault. I've never seen his face so red and twitchy. GREETING Thanks for keeping her safe. Here's the caps I promised. I knew I had a good feeling about you. GREETING Did you find Keely? You haven't been back for a while, so I was hoping... GREETING Oh! Good to see you again. GREETING Unless I hear from Keely, we've got nothing to talk about. GREETING Keely still hasn't checked in. It's not like her... GREETING After what happened with Keely, Hildern's got his eye on me. We shouldn't be talking... not anymore. GREETING You're new? I'm Angela. Williams. Were you just looking around, or... GREETING Took your sweet time. I suppose the NCR sent you? GREETING It's better not to do a lot of talking on assassination missions. GREETING I hear you took care of Motor-Runner. I could have handled that on my own. GREETING Thanks for the help back at Vault 3. I couldn't have gotten out of there without the assist. GREETING Thanks for the assistance, doc. Time for us to go take out Motor-Runner? GREETING What do you need? I have a job to do. GREETING I'm ready to take out Motor-Runner when you are. GREETING How the hell did you get in here? And who the hell are you? GREETING What are you doing here, soldier? I didn't call for any support. GREETING Hey! Yeah you! Come give us a hand! GREETING You again. You ready to give us some help? GREETING Rick is dead, but I'd still welcome my freedom! GREETING Are you going to free me or what? GREETING Thanks for the help. GREETING Thank you for releasing us. GREETING Talk to Rick if you have something you'd like to say. GREETING If you have anything to say, talk to Rick. GREETING Why the fuck are you back here? GREETING What the fuck are you doing here? GREETING Man, are you turned around. Motor-Runner is one the other side of the complex. GREETING I know who you are. I'm a patient man, but you'd better have a damn good reason to be standing here right now. Spit it out. GREETING Look who it is. I haven't had the privilege, but I'm told you've been an angel on our shoulder. What can we do for you at Camp McCarran? GREETING Well. I'm glad we could finally meet. My sources tell me you've done some good work for us. What brings you to Camp McCarran? GREETING I'm usually good with faces, but I don't think I've seen you here before. What brings you to Camp McCarran? GREETING What happened? GREETING Yes, what is it? GREETING What are you doing here? You don't have clearance. GREETING Get the hell out of my sight. GREETING Hey, what are you doing out here at this hour? GREETING Trouble sleeping again, huh? Well, do yourself a favor - try and get some rest. GREETING Following up on your lead, huh? Good. I'll get out of your way before I blow your cover. GREETING I hope you catch this guy. GREETING Nice to meet you. I'm Curtis. GREETING Well? GREETING What is it? GREETING Hey! Can't you see I'm busy here? GREETING Nah, I'm just kidding. This has to be the most worthless patrol duty on the whole base. They never attack this gate. GREETING They just put me back here because they don't think I can handle anything else. GREETING Man, am I bored. GREETING What is it, soldier? GREETING You stick out like a sore thumb around here. You sure you're in the right place? GREETING You weren't supposed to kill him! Goddamn it. Not only did we not get any information, but now you've ended his suffering, too. GREETING Shit, guess I can forget about a promotion this decade. Thanks a lot, asshole. GREETING Fuck. What am I going to tell the colonel? GREETING Haven't you done enough? GREETING Poor guy. He's all tuckered out. Well, I guess we'll have to pick up where we left off tomorrow. Good work. GREETING I'm sure he'll have had enough after a few days of this. Or if we're lucky, a few months. GREETING I'll get someone in here to clean up the mess he made. You can head out for the day. Let's let him sleep. GREETING That was fun to watch. I'd have you do it again, but I'd probably get in trouble. GREETING This'll do the NCR a lot of good, so you should be proud. GREETING Here's the standard fee, plus I threw in the price of a good show on the Strip. That's from me personally. You can beat up my prisoners anytime. GREETING You did well. I don't know how you did it without putting a scratch on him, and I'm a little disappointed personally, but it saved the NCR some face. GREETING And it could save us more than that when all is said and done. I'm gonna talk to some people when we're through here. GREETING This is about double the standard fee we'd give a consultant GREETING Let's finish this up, then we can talk. GREETING You're back. GREETING What an ugly little worm you are. What pile of excrement did the lieutenant pluck you from, worm? GREETING What? GREETING You don't have to do this. GREETING You hit like a bedridden old woman. GREETING We don't have anything to discuss, worm. GREETING Enough! This is pointless. I'm dead to the Legion either way. I'll tell you what I know. GREETING But you should know that Caesar has always kept his own counsel. He never reveals anything that would make him vulnerable. GREETING My knowledge will not prevent the inevitable. This camp will be ash within months. Maybe weeks. GREETING Have you got it? GREETING Hit me. GREETING Get away from me. GREETING I'll take it from here. GREETING Boyd's in there with a prisoner right now. Boy, is she pissed. GREETING Hassling Hector, huh? Got a thing for little kids? GREETING Whatcha want, freakshow? GREETING Who the fuck are you and why are you bothering me? GREETING Back again? Jesus.... GREETING Come back to Violet, huh? What now? GREETING Something on your mind? GREETING Hey there, sweet thing. Want a ride on the Cook-Cook express? GREETING Not now! I've got to get up to the lab and finish what I started! GREETING This Vault-Tech machinery is so fragile. I had to jury-rig this elevator a few days ago and it's on the fritz again already. GREETING Ah, that's got it. See you upstairs. GREETING Hm, what's this? Did you do these repairs? Not bad. Not bad at all. GREETING Saves me time, I guess. See you upstairs. GREETING Good, you're here. Ready to begin? GREETING I suppose you have questions. Hurry up and ask them. GREETING Ah, good. You survived. I was beginning to think you hadn't. You'll be pleased to know that the spores should no longer be a problem. GREETING Now all that's left is to ensure that none of this ever happens again. The research that led to these abominations must be erased. GREETING Don't mind me. I have to wrap things up here, gather my gear, that sort of thing. I'll be leaving soon enough. GREETING Greetings! I do not believe we have met before. I have the singular distinction of being designated as Bohr. GREETING Calculating... GREETING Hello again, my friend. I hope you've been finding the information in the datastore useful. GREETING {Ibsen top-level topics} GREETING Welcome to the range. Feel free to use any open lane. GREETING Ah, outsider. I've heard that you were instrumental in providing Hardin with the evidence to bring against me. And here I had thought to use {lightly stressed}you. GREETING Have you come to gloat, or did you actually want something? GREETING Welcome, outsider, welcome! The lockdown has been officially lifted and everyone seems to be in good spirits. GREETING With the surface open to us once again, Hardin's already started talk of sending a force out to attack HELIOS, but I hope to dissuade him. GREETING What can I do for you? GREETING Hail, Brother. May I help you? GREETING Greetings, my friend. I hope I can be of some assistance to you. GREETING {Getting ready to lift the lockdown}I apologize, outsider, but I'm going to be busy for a little while making preparations for lifting the lockdown. GREETING {Annoyed to have to talk to the player again}What is it now, outsider? GREETING I'm afraid I don't have time to talk, outsider. I've had word that Hardin is charging me with violating protocol and must prepare a defense. GREETING Back again, I see. Have you found all the components we need? GREETING Have you had any luck finding the scouts? Or did you have something to discuss? GREETING Found the missing patrols, or was something else on your mind? GREETING How did you find us, stranger? And do tell the truth. GREETING I've been informed that you bring us ill tidings, stranger. Care to elaborate? GREETING When Paladin Ramos informed me that Veronica was approaching with an outsider in tow, at first I didn't know what to think. GREETING After giving the matter some thought, however, I've decided that an outsider could be of use to me right now. GREETING However, I will not force you to help us. Should you refuse, you will be allowed to leave here, though you'd remain Veronica's responsibility. GREETING What do you say, outsider? Are you willing to help us? GREETING What I wished to discuss with you can wait for once I get settled in the command room, outsider. GREETING When you first showed up on our doorstep, I'll admit at first I didn't know what to think. GREETING After giving the matter some thought, however, I've decided that an outsider could be of great use to me right now. GREETING However, I will not force you to help us. Should you refuse, you will be allowed to leave here, though know we {stressed}will be keeping an eye on you. GREETING What do you say, outsider? Are you willing to help us? GREETING How did you resolve the situation with the ranger? GREETING Have you reconsidered, outsider? I can still use your help. GREETING {Generic question node}Yes, associate? GREETING {McNamara's top-level topics} GREETING {McNamara's linked topics} GREETING Hey, I heard the pistol got returned. Thanks a lot! I am {emph}never going to listen to Watkins again, believe me. GREETING I really hope you can find that pistol. GREETING Yes, can I help you? GREETING Sorry, but I'm a little busy here. If you'll excuse me. GREETING The lockdown is lifted! The patrols are going to start up again! Do you know what this means? I'll actually be able to get into a real fight! GREETING I wonder what it'll be against? Raiders? Radscorpions? {super excited}Deathclaws? Oh, I can't wait. So what's up? GREETING Hey, so Hardin becoming Elder was because of you, huh? Good job. Now that the lockdown if lifted, I may get a chance to get into a real fight! GREETING I wonder what it'll be against? Raiders? Radscorpions? {super excited}Deathclaws? Oh, I can't wait. So what's up? GREETING I hear you handled the NCR ranger that was camping out topside. GREETING Don't get a big head or anything about it. I would have taken him out if they'd let me. GREETING Yeah? GREETING {Watkins top-level topics} GREETING You'll find your equipment in the chest to your right. Don't bother coming back until you've dealt with the ranger. GREETING Stand back from the door. The Elder's eager to hear your report. GREETING [You hear nothing.] GREETING {Ramos Greeting for players who found a patrol}Where did you learn that password? And tell the truth, because I'll know if you're lying. GREETING {Ramos Greeting for players with Veronica}{Stern}Listen up. I'm in charge of security around here, and I can't say I'm too happy having an outsider waltzing around. GREETING {Eases up, first part was just for show}But since you came in with Veronica, I'm inclined to cut you a little slack. Just behave yourself and we won't have any problems, okay? GREETING Oh, and the Elder's going to want to talk to you. He's on the second level. Just take a right once you get down there. GREETING My office is right here in case you need anything. Just ask for Ramos. GREETING {Ramos dialogue if player sneaks into the bunker}{Angry, an intruder managed to get past his security}How the hell did you get in here? Normally, I would have already shot you, but I'm under orders to bring you to the Elder. Will you come peacefully? GREETING Rest up, and make your report to the Elder when you're up to it. GREETING If you have something to say, say it to Elder McNamara. GREETING Your presence here... Let's just say it's highly irregular. GREETING Outsiders aren't even allowed to know that our bunker's here, let alone come and go freely. GREETING You impressed Elder McNamara, obviously. He must believe that you'll be very useful. GREETING Oh, hey there. Something I can help you with? GREETING {Ramos Top-level topics} GREETING No time to talk now. I have to get ready to return to base with this information. I'll get a fat raise for this, if anyone actually believes me. GREETING {Nonchalant}Okay, so you weren't kidding about there being a Brotherhood base here. GREETING I'll need to report back to base about this. They'll think I'm playing a prank if I try to radio it in, so I'll need some face time with the brass. GREETING Thanks for the heads up. I mean it. I'll be sure to mention you in my report. GREETING Shhh. I thought I heard something up by the entrance. GREETING Now, now. Calm down. I believe you saw something. Let's just head back to my camp and we'll figure out what it was, okay? GREETING Sorry, but I've got a long hike ahead of me. You take care. GREETING Powder ganger scum! Hands up or die! GREETING Thought you'd sneak up on me, you filthy powder ganger? GREETING Oh, it's you. Any particular reason you felt the need to bother me again? GREETING {Placeholder for Dobson's top-level topics} GREETING You must be the stranger I've been hearing about. Sorry, but I'm strictly forbidden from offering our tech to outsiders like yourself. GREETING Besides, I'm a little busy right now. GREETING Sorry, outsider, but I'm not allowed to sell you anything without the Elder's say so. GREETING Besides, I'm a little busy right now. GREETING I can't believe Hardin is Elder now. At least with the lockdown lifted I'll be able to resupply my store more often. So what are you here for? GREETING Have you heard the news? Elder McNamara has lifted the lockdown! Good news for this store, let me tell you. I can't wait to start getting more goods. GREETING So what are you here for? GREETING The word came down from the Elder that I'm to offer you some of our lesser wares, as if I didn't have other matters on my mind. GREETING Have you found it? I need to give my report to Hardin soon. GREETING Hi there. Looking to spend some caps? GREETING You again? Didn't I tell you I was busy? GREETING {Torres top-level topics} GREETING Listen very closely and do as I say. Your life depends on it. GREETING Hand over everything you're carrying. Weapons, ammo, clothes, armor - everything. I want you stripped down to your underwear. GREETING Save it for Paladin Ramos, outsider. GREETING I said shut up and keep moving. GREETING You're the one with that robot, I was hoping you'd bring him my way. Pretty impressive piece of hardware. GREETING I can't say that I've seen anything quite like him before. GREETING Hmmm? Oh, you must be the outsider everyone's buzzing about. Pleased to meet you. I'm Lorenzo, Senior Knight and general handyman around here. GREETING {Lorenzo's Top-level Topics} GREETING Hey, good to see you again. Have you thought any more about letting me take a look at the logs on your robot? GREETING Good to see you! Alive, that is. Have you found all of the components yet? GREETING Good to see you again. What can I help you with? GREETING What do you want? And don't try anything funny. GREETING That report must reach the Elder's hands. I have nothing further to give you. GREETING Don't take another step if you value your life. For what purpose do you approach me? GREETING The Elder is likely urgently awaiting that report. You should make your way to him as soon as possible. GREETING Approach slowly, stranger. If you have no business with me, then go. GREETING Quick now, off with you! The Elder must see that report! GREETING It looks like you've managed to talk some sense into the Elder, outsider. Be assured, I'll still be keeping an eye on him. GREETING {Grudging}Your efforts to help this chapter are not unappreciated. Now, what can I do for you? GREETING Huh? GREETING What? GREETING I ought to bleed you. GREETING Fuck off and die. GREETING Like we don't have enough problems. GREETING Just get the fuck out of here. GREETING What the fuck are you doing showing your face here? GREETING Why are you even here? GREETING Crazy-ass mother fucker. GREETING You been dosing on too many of Jack's chems? GREETING You're almost as crazy as some Fiends I know. GREETING {Sarcastic}Oh great, just who I wanted to see. GREETING You going to fuck shit up again? GREETING {Cautious}What do you want this time? GREETING You should have been with us in our glory days. You'd have loved it. GREETING Share a whiskey with me sometime? GREETING I wish there were more like you. GREETING I like you, stranger. You've stood by us when not many would. GREETING Good to see you again. GREETING Why'd you come here? GREETING Come to gawk at the Great Khans, have you? Fuck off. GREETING What do you want? GREETING The Legion and the NCR have mobilized their forces at Hoover Dam - it'll be time soon. GREETING It's starting to feel like tensions are coming to a boil. There will be full-scale war soon. GREETING Seems like everybody with a stake in the Mojave is gearing up for something big. GREETING So you've been sucked into the decadence of the Strip as well, have you? GREETING Caesar's veterans are making short work of the NCR - or that's what I hear. GREETING Soon Caesar will send in his best troops from the Arizona campaign - the NCR won't know what hit them. GREETING Those black-armored devils might be new to the Mojave, but they're butchers like all the rest. GREETING The runners are saying that the NCR is sending in their elite shock troops to try and push back the Legion. GREETING NCR spreads its infection to another town, I hear. GREETING I'm glad our brothers have returned home from Boulder City. GREETING Why did you kill our brothers in Boulder City? GREETING More Khan brothers cut down by NCR in Boulder City. We should kill a hundred of them in response! GREETING The 1st Recon butchers are in the field again. I'd love to head down to Forlorn hope and show them we haven't forgotten. GREETING So the NCR makes peace with the Kings now? Where was that mercy at Bitter Springs? GREETING Another tribe was wiped out in NCR territory? Can't say I'm surprised. I hope the surviving Kings learn from this. GREETING Our tribe's final stand will be remembered for a thousand years! GREETING We'll return, stronger than before! GREETING I can't believe they're all gone. GREETING So the Legion hit the murderers at Bitter Springs? Good. GREETING We're not moving as many chems now that the Fiends have been taken out. GREETING Diane's going nuts trying to find a new contact in the Fiends now that Motor Runner's dead. GREETING Typical - even within their highest ranks, the NCR is corrupt. GREETING So, the big bad chief ranger couldn't take the pressure, huh? Good. GREETING If I knew who killed Kimball, I'd buy him a drink. GREETING If you're going to assassinate the president of the NCR, you could at least do it right. GREETING Why the hell would you stop someone from killing Kimball? GREETING If you ask me, a true warrior wouldn't let himself be captured at all - but busting that Legionnaire out of McCarran was an impressive stunt. GREETING I would have thought the monorail bombing would slow the NCR down more. GREETING Whoever blew up that monorail is a damn hero. GREETING Karl's been in a shitty mood since that big explosion at the Fort. GREETING Word's spreading that Caesar is dead. No one seems to know much about how, though. GREETING Caesar can rot in hell for all I care. GREETING Not many get the favor of Caesar - even Papa hasn't been to the Fort. GREETING Rumor from the Strip is that House is dead. I hope the old bastard choked on his own tongue. GREETING Mr. House isn't a man to be trusted. Watch yourself. GREETING I heard from one of Melissa's runners that that check-coated bastard got thrown out on his ass. GREETING Papa says cut off the head and the snake will die." I guess the Chairmen's days are numbered." GREETING I remember the Chairmen from their tribal days. They were punks then, they're punks now. GREETING You really killed Caesar himself? Maybe he's not the mighty warrior Karl said he was. GREETING You're the one who killed Kimball! If we had a bar here, I'd buy you a drink! GREETING We're fighting for the NCR now? I don't know about that.... GREETING You don't seem to take a hint. Get out of my face. GREETING Antler says you are the one killing my kin. Antler says you must die! GREETING I... don't know how to thank you for bringing Rhonda back to me, stranger. GREETING Here, take this. I won't be needing it anymore. GREETING Good work, human. Maybe now this place can rest in peace. GREETING There's nothing for you here, human, though it is always good to see you. GREETING I've done what I can. The rest is up to you, human. GREETING This is a dangerous place, human - especially for your kind! I suggest you turn back. There's nothing good waiting for you further on. GREETING Still hanging about? GREETING Hey, you've interrupted my broadcast, dumb-dumb - so there had better be a good reason! What is it? GREETING A pleasant surprise to see you made it. I'm ready to get started if you are. GREETING We shouldn't wait much longer. Are you ready? GREETING There's an intruder in the dish hut! Get over there and kill whoever it is, you fools! GREETING I don't even remember where we were going, but It'll be good to travel around with Rhonda again. GREETING Howdy pardner! Welcome to the Vikki and Vance Casino and Museum. GREETING This is a restricted area. Step away immediately. GREETING Go to hell. GREETING {Little sad}I'm heading back West. You won't see me again. GREETING {Found 1st Caravan, a little sickened, looking at destroyed caravan}God, there's almost nothing left. Looks like whoever it was - was just in the mood for killing. GREETING Most of the cargo's ash, too - not burned, looks like... disintegrated. When I heard the reports, I assumed ash" meant "burned."" GREETING So close to the Vegas wall, too, don't that beat all. Must have happened during the day, though, they hadn't made a camp. GREETING {Prompt after 1st Caravan Found}You know what, what happened to my caravan - not the first time I've heard about an attack like that. GREETING One of our caravans got hit back a few months back, and the caravan'd been burned, too, along with the cargo. GREETING I wonder if he made the same mistake, and that other caravan got hit with energy weapons, too. GREETING {Found 2nd Caravan}More energy weapons hit this caravan. Place has been picked clean. GREETING This... is Brotherhood level murder here. But they don't do things like that. This was done with a purpose. GREETING Let's poke around a bit, see what we can find. Might be something in the wreckage. GREETING {Prompt after 2nd Caravan Found}What's that? Looks like a map - got the route along the West of Vegas, and... GREETING ...they've marked another spot. Over here, along this stretch. That's fucked up - middle of nowhere. GREETING {Found 3rd Site}Another caravan burned. Except someone made camp here - and I never heard about this attack. GREETING Let's look around, something stinks. GREETING {Final}That does it, that's all I need to know. GREETING Crimson Caravan and the Van Graffs... they were behind burning these caravans, and they've got to answer for them. GREETING I'm going to get some extra ammo, a few bottles of whiskey, then show them how Cassidys settle accounts. GREETING {In Combat, gritting teeth, slight reprimand}Voices down, eyes up. GREETING {Alt: Enemies near}Keep your voice down, we got movement out there. GREETING {In Combat, dismissive}Save the sweettalk for when the shooting's done. GREETING {Warning 3}You and me we're done traveling together. I want nothing more to do with you. GREETING I thought there was a {emph}chance you'd change - {shakes head}not any longer, being a fucker is who you are. GREETING {Warning 2}Guess my last warning didn't sink in too well. Things don't change, and soon, I'm gone. GREETING {Warning 1}You are {emph}such an asshole sometimes. GREETING Look, maybe you were like this before I signed up with you, but if you keep acting this way, I'm not going to stick around much longer. GREETING Are you fucking high right now? God, I can smell it from here. {Beat}Keep that shit away from me. GREETING {Uneasy, in Lucky 38 casino}Ready to leave yet? This place puts my teeth on edge. GREETING {Teasing, actually happy to see the player}Well, now, look what rolled in. What, you getting lonely out there? GREETING {Irritated}If you say you're going to gather evidence, then kill the bitches anyway, at least tell me when you change your mind. GREETING Now, if you're done fucking around, let's settle accounts the old-fashioned way. GREETING {Killed Van Graffs, grim, but happy}Just trimmed the Van Graff family tree, I think Freeside'll breathe a little easier now. GREETING {Killed an entire camp of Crimson Caravan, grim, but happy}And that's it for the Crimson Caravan. GREETING {Gave evidence, quest end. A little doubtful}Well, that's settled... I suppose. GREETING {Prompt for Political Manuevering}You find any evidence" yet? I'm not going to wait forever." GREETING {Prompt for first caravan}Well, now that I'm free of the Outpost, was wondering if you'd mind making a detour. GREETING I'd like to pay my respects to the end of Cassidy Caravans, check out the site where they died. GREETING {Story Stage 0 + Checkers, Eager}We find this friend" of yours GREETING {Story Stage 0 + !Benny}Why the hell we wandering so much anyway? Nothing against the Mojave except the dust, heat, and scorpions, but... GREETING {Story Stage 0 + Benny}We find this friend" Benny of yours GREETING {Story Stage 10, to herself}Never thought I'd pass the Vegas wall. Never seen so many lights in one place before. GREETING Howdy, pardner! Doesn't look like you've brought back the Platinum Chip! GREETING Why don't you mosey on back to wherever it is you left Benny cooling off? Come back when you got it. GREETING Sorry, pardner, but the boss ain't available to take a meeting! GREETING Howdy, pardner! Good to see you again! GREETING Congratulations, pardner! The boss has instructed me to comp you to the High-Roller Suite! GREETING You can bring your friends, too! Be like a little clubhouse for the gang you put together! GREETING Just bear in mind, you're the only one gets to see the boss! Any friends you got, they can wait in the suite. GREETING Enjoy the digs, pardner! They're plenty fancy! GREETING What floor, pardner? GREETING Where to, pardner? GREETING Which floor, now? GREETING {announcing elevator stops}Penthouse floor! GREETING {announcing elevator stops}Cocktail lounge! GREETING {announcing elevator stops}High-roller suite! GREETING {announcing elevator stops}Casino floor! GREETING {announcing elevator stops}B2! Physical Plant! GREETING {announcing elevator stops}B2! Facilities Management! GREETING {player trying to go to penthouse with companions}Sorry, pardner, if you're heading for the penthouse, you gotta go alone. GREETING {attacking player who has betrayed House}You low-down snake! I wish {Ida}I'd have left you in the ground to rot! GREETING {starting attack}Draw! GREETING {Small Fry}Hey, hey! Look who has the hot hands?{Friendly} Here, have something special on the house. GREETING {Big Winner}Looks like someone is on a roll. {Sing-song}Luck be a lady tonight. Here's a little something from the Family. GREETING {Whale}You keep on spending money in here.{Mock Jocking} You gotta give us a chance to win something back. Here's something nice for you. GREETING {Banned}Ok, that's that. No more games for you. Go rob the Tops. You're done here. GREETING Have some drinks, talk to some dancers but you are done at my tables. GREETING Hnh - didn't even hear you come up the ramp. {Beat}You don't broadcast your movements. I like that. GREETING {Curious, but not in a nice way, more wtf}Hnh. Heard your footsteps coming up the ramp, didn't sound like a trooper or one of the merchants. GREETING You a Courier? If so, this might be your lucky day... if you don't mind walking a bit {emph}and your eyes are good. GREETING Well, that's a start. But I don't reckon you came to me to learn to fight sarsaparilla bottles. GREETING Tell you what. I gotta go chase geckos away from our water supply anyway. Darn critters are attracted to it. Why don't you come along? GREETING Thank goodness you're here. My squad needs help. GREETING {FIRST, BUNKER, BENNY FLED}I do wish you'd come and met with me at the Lucky 38 when you first arrived on the Strip. Or after Benny fled, even. GREETING Change your mind? Offer's still open, {beat, to herself, concerned}lot of smoke from Nipton in the East, could use a set of eyes over there. GREETING You check out the Nipton Town Hall yet? Smoke trail's not getting any shorter. GREETING Thanks for the assist. Wish others around here had your drive. GREETING You a Courier? If so, this might be your lucky day... if you don't mind walking a bit {emph}and your eyes are good. GREETING Jimmy? Little Jimmy - my, how you're grown up. So good of you to come visit your {gramma}grandma. GREETING Well, well. If it isn't the courier who wiped out the Legion over at Nelson. Good to see you around {nickname for camp}the Hope. GREETING Hold up there. This area is locked down by the NCR military until we can dislodge some Legion snakes from Nelson. GREETING Me and Carmine - that's my repeater here - will do our best to cover you from this ridge. Good luck. GREETING {mildly annoyed}Let it wait {'til}until I've stopped running, all right? GREETING {confronting}Hold it right there, Courier. I been hearing things about you, and they ain't all been good. GREETING Just so you know, you {emph}will answer to me if you cause any trouble for the troops around here. Things're bad enough as is. GREETING You're always welcome around the {nickname for camp}Hope, Courier - least as far as I'm concerned. GREETING Howdy. What's the word? GREETING I can still hear our boys screaming down there. GREETING Well howdy. GREETING {Story Stage 20, wary}Not sure who this friend of yours is, but if he's looking down on Vegas, he's either God or the moon. GREETING Not one for being subtle, are you? The Tops probably never saw so much action 'til you charged in. GREETING So glad you iced that little fucker. Anyone that wears a suit like that... well, they're asking for bullets. GREETING So what, we chase that little cocksucker down or what? {Cold, eager}He's got to stop running sometime, and that's when we'll get him. GREETING {Story Stage 20, Talked to House}So... you talked to a big movie screen? Feeling like I'm walking down a yellow-bricked road, and there's bad news at the end. GREETING {Just watched an enemy explode}What, did... did you put a plug in his cocktube to make him explode? GREETING {Story Stage 20, Multiple Invites}First Vegas, now NCR {emph}and Legion? You're being courted more than a Redding widow. GREETING {Beat, wary}Hope you can answer them politely, or there's no safe place in the Mojave for you. GREETING {Story Stage 20, Default}Still looking for a place to pitch your tent? NCR, Legion, or Vegas, seems like each of them's a beartrap, no matter where you put your foot. GREETING {Wary}Careful where you flash that chip of yours... not sure what kind of caps it's worth, but it's a tempting target. GREETING Nothing like turning a snake's trap on itself. That Benny's a slippery fucker, but you one-upped him, all right. GREETING Can't tell you how glad I am you butchered the Fiends. Caravans across the wastes are going to be buying you drinks for years. GREETING Inside the Lucky 38? Not sure whether that's a blessing or a curse. GREETING {Story Stage 30, Default}Sure hope you know what you're doing, Mojave's getting tense. GREETING {Story Stage 30, NCR, wary}Don't get me wrong, NCR needs the help... sometimes I wish they'd step up more on their own. {Quiet}Not sure saving them helps them in the long run. GREETING {Story Stage 30, Legion, wary}Sure hope you know what throwing in with the Legion means. Helping them running roughshod over the West is an Old World kind of cruel. GREETING {Story Stage 30, House, wary}If someone promised me all the lights of Vegas, I'd consider it, too... but I wouldn't say yes until I saw what was behind the curtain. GREETING {Story Stage 40}Mojave's almost buzzing like a Cazador now... must be all the blood Legion and NCR are spilling over the Colorado. GREETING {Story Stage 50}Guess there's no turning back now, it's war. If Hoover Dam's where it's going to go down, better make it count. GREETING {Frowns, irritated}Looking for trouble? GREETING {2nd Time, Mojave}You come around like a bad habit. What's on your mind? GREETING {Question Node: Mojave}What's on your mind? GREETING {In Party, Random Opener from Wheel}Oh, you look like you got something else to say besides ordering me around. GREETING {In Party, Random Opener from Wheel}Let's hear it, you look all serious. GREETING {In Party, Random Opener from Wheel}Something to say to me other than guns, distance, and stimming? GREETING {In Party, Random Opener from Wheel}Whoa, why you leaning in all of a sudden? GREETING {Question Node, !Mojave}Ask 'em then. GREETING
GREETING
GREETING I don't know what it was brought you to Primm, youngster, but you might want to rethink your plans. Town's gone to hell. GREETING {New Line}You got that old robot up and running again? How is it working out for you? GREETING Hey, youngster. Still hanging about Primm, huh? GREETING {INTERCOM}{confident in your safety}Baby, this little meet and greet of ours?

I hope you're built sturdy GREETING {FIRST TALK, ASSASSINATION}{Dumbfounded, as though seeing a ghost}What in the goddamn...? GREETING {how could the player be here?}You? How could you be...? {realizing you've been had}Oh Swank, you finky bastard... GREETING {stating the obvious, trying to spin it}You got a crazy drop on me, baby, but you don't want to kill me. We should be working together. GREETING {SECOND PLUS TALK, ASSASSINATION}{finding the player in your suite}Hey hey hey, what the hell...? GREETING {realizing you've been had}Oh Swank, you finky bastard... GREETING {stating the obvious, trying to spin it}You got a crazy drop on me, baby, but you don't want to kill me. It's like I said, we should be working together. GREETING I comped you the prez so we can talk there, hey? No need to keep tugging at my sleeve. GREETING {annoyed}Wait {'til}until we get to the Presidential, {pal-ee}pally. I don't need you tugging at my sleeve. GREETING Cool by me if you wanna talk after all... but a confab like this, out in public, in my place of business? That don't play. GREETING {keeping voice down}What say you and me cash out, go somewheres more private-like? Any questions you got, I'll answer. GREETING {keeping voice down}Like I said, we should be talking somewheres private. GREETING {FORCED GREETING IN PRIVATE}Now that you and me's got some privacy, I gotta ask - how is it that you're still living? GREETING Once you were vertical, how'd you track me down? GREETING {TOP LEVEL QUESTIONS}I guess that's enough scratching around at first base. Tell me, which way is the wind gonna blow? GREETING {MASTER QUESTION NODE}You got questions, I got answers. GREETING {Player in combat}The store is currently unavailable due to unexpected circumstances. Please come back later. GREETING Welcome, sir or madam. Do you wish to purchase something? GREETING {exulting - you won lottery - you weren't killed}Yeah! Who won the lottery? I did! GREETING Smell that air! Couldn't ya just drink it like booze!{laugh, slightly maniacal} GREETING {exulting - and player is interrupting your buzz}Stop bothering me, will ya! I won the fucking lottery! GREETING {exulting - and player is interrupting your buzz}Fuck off! Win your own fucking lottery!{laughs} GREETING Hello again. How's your Boomer friend? GREETING Have you spoken with McLafferty yet? GREETING {Angry}You tried to get me killed. Get the hell out of my face. GREETING I'm on my way to meet that Boomer you told me about! GREETING Thank you for getting me here. Jack is a great guy. GREETING Hey there! Here's the rest of the payment I promised you back in Goodsprings. GREETING This is my room, now you get the fuck out before you get yourself hurt. GREETING I warned you, now it is time to eat hot fucking lead. GREETING Get the fuck out of my room. GREETING I thought I told you to get the fuck out of here. GREETING Hey, thanks for all the hard work back there. I'm going to run a tight ship here, don't you worry. GREETING Any word on Station Charlie? GREETING Howdy, pardner! Welcome to the headquarters of the Sunset Sarsaparilla Company. Wrangle up a stool and listen to ol' Festus jaw a while. GREETING If you and ol' Festus are old pals, say a command now. Otherwise, say Pleased to meetcha" and we'll get acquainted." GREETING Or, if you have more important things to do than talk to ol' Festus, say Goodbye"." GREETING Welcome to the Dino Bite Gift Shop. My name's Cliff. If you're here for the t-rex figurines, you're just in time. There's still a few left. GREETING Welcome back. Please don't kill me. I'll give you a real nice price on everything. GREETING I don't know if you know, but since Jeannie May passed, I've been keeping an eye on her properties for her. GREETING I think it's time we gave something back to you, so take this key and make yourself at home at our motel. GREETING It'll open the room on the second floor, closest to the lobby. Hope it suits you. GREETING So I heard you helped take over Nelson from the Legion. Glad to see someone making a difference around here instead of just complaining. GREETING Thanks again for finding those supplies. I've already started putting them to good use. GREETING If it isn't the guy that saved President Kimball. We owe you a big debt of gratitude. If Kimball died, I don't know what would have happened. GREETING If it isn't the gal that saved President Kimball. We owe you a big debt of gratitude. If Kimball died, I don't know what would have happened. GREETING I can't believe that President Kimball is dead. If I could get my hands on the people that did this I'd rip their heads off with my bare hands. GREETING I can't believe someone tried to assassinate President Kimball. I'm just glad he's still alive. We need a guy like him around. GREETING Are you new? No one told me about any new troops showing up. {irritated}This is just great, we get new troops and no new supplies for them. GREETING I didn't expect someone as famous as you here. What can I do for you? GREETING Nice to see a friendly face around here. We don't get many visitors of your esteem. Something I can do for you? GREETING You better watch yourself around here. I'm not going to put up with any crazy shit. GREETING Didn't expect someone like you around here. What do you want? GREETING You've got a lot of nerve showing your face around here. You better get out before I throw you out. GREETING {gruff}What do you want? GREETING If it isn't the guy that defeated the Legion at Nelson. I can't thank you enough, morale around here has never been higher. GREETING If it isn't the gal that defeated the Legion at Nelson. I can't thank you enough, morale around here has never been higher. GREETING Whoa, didn't you save President Kimball? Glad to have someone like you here! GREETING I heard President Kimball almost got killed at Hoover Dam. That would have been a big blow to morale around here. GREETING Did you hear President Kimball was killed? The guys here aren't taking it very well. GREETING New guy, eh? The more the merrier around here! GREETING New gal, eh? The more the merrier around here! GREETING Hey everybody, look who it is! Glad to have you here friend. What can I do for you? GREETING Look who we have here. Always nice to see a friend of the NCR. What can I do for you? GREETING You're not going to do anything crazy here, are you? GREETING Uh... is there something I can help you with? GREETING Hey, I don't think it's a good idea for you to be here. GREETING What brings someone like you here? GREETING Go away, human. GREETING {Arcade Miscellaneous Line Holder} GREETING {Arcade Top Level Topics} GREETING Like I said, I needed to go do something. This is it. It belonged to my father. GREETING Since you convinced me to help out with the defense of Hoover Dam, I figured I'd haul it out of storage. GREETING I'm a little rusty with it but... I think I can manage. {bit of a grin}As long as you've got my back, of course. GREETING Like I said, I needed to go do something. This is it. It belonged to my father. GREETING I thought I might wear it at Hoover Dam, but after you talked me out of it, I didn't see the point in hanging on to it any longer. GREETING I'm here because of you, so I figure you're the one most deserving of it. It should protect you from everything short of a Plasma Caster. GREETING And if you need anything - anything at all - you know where to find me. GREETING {false friendly}Hey there. Was it always your plan to sell me into slavery to Caesar, or was that a spur of the moment thing? GREETING Why don't you make like Odysseus and get lost? GREETING For as lack of adornment is said to become some women, so will this place, without your presence, bring delight. GREETING I've run out of witty ways to tell you to leave, so why don't you just go? GREETING If you want to talk, take off that ridiculous Legion uniform. It's insulting. GREETING Hi. If you're looking for medical help, try the other doctors. I'm just a researcher. Not even a particularly good one. GREETING Hello, again. Still in one piece, I see. GREETING What's up? GREETING Well, we've had some laughs, you and I, but it looks like you're a crazy person and I'm going to have to leave. GREETING Moreno took the fall of the Enclave hard. He never questioned his orders, never questioned the legitimacy of what the Enclave was doing. GREETING To him, it was all one unbroken chain, from Washington to Richardson. When we left Navarro, I remember looking up at Moreno. GREETING He said, Kiss America goodbye GREETING Since my mother died, Daisy's been the only woman in my life. She was the only other woman close to my father, too. GREETING She flew him out on over a dozen missions, including his last. I've always been close to Daisy. GREETING There have been some good men along the way, but lovers make poor confidants. Daisy never had children of her own, so she was always there to listen. GREETING Being in the Enclave didn't mean much to her. She just loved to fly. It broke her heart to be grounded. GREETING Doc Henry always was a hard one to figure out. It didn't seem to matter whether he was working with humans or dogs. GREETING He had an equal lack of affection for both. A regular {dai-ah-jen-eez}Diogenes. I'm not sure what the man was after. GREETING Knowledge is power GREETING He simply solved riddles because they existed. GREETING If I had to pick anyone who didn't belong in the Enclave, it would definitely be Johnson. He hated what the Enclave was doing. GREETING Day to day, week to week, he would question orders, subvert mission objectives, do anything he could to serve without serving. GREETING It's amazing he was never court-martialed. He always had good things to say about my father. Said I was like him in a lot of ways. I wish I knew. GREETING Judah Kreger is the glue that's kept us all together over the years, and with good reason. GREETING Anyone who can command Moreno and Johnson in the same unit without somebody getting fragged is one hell of a leader. GREETING Kreger was polite and kind, but never warm. He always did his best to make me feel welcome in the group. GREETING I think he did it out of a sense of loyalty to my father. Loyalty means a lot to Judah. GREETING Not loyalty to the Enclave, or even the ideals they fought for, but to the people who served with him. GREETING I'd like to say that I saw this coming, but honestly I was oblivious. {sheepish}For what it's worth, I'll do what I can to help you... not get killed? GREETING So Mr. House doesn't care that one of Caesar's most notorious Legion spies is walking around on the Strip. GREETING Either that or his Securitrons' AI is too primitive to recognize the threat. Neither answer is particularly comforting. GREETING {sarcastic, in response to being ignored by another Follower}Oh, hello Emily. Yes, it is I, Arcade Gannon, fellow member of the Followers of the Apocalypse. GREETING Would I like to help infiltrate the Lucky 38{casino}? I'm so glad you asked... GREETING That's a lot of energy weapons. Brings back some interesting memories. GREETING The Strip's not a bad place if you love terrible things and people. {a bit sad, annoyed}I'll never understand the allure of giving away your money to the rich. GREETING I've read about REPCONN. I think they did some work with the... {catching himself, was about to say Enclave"} the government before the war. Rockets and some energy weapon prototypes GREETING Westside, huh? I passed through here with another Follower a while back, Anderson. The locals were having a lot of trouble getting water through. GREETING Westside, huh? I heard about what happened with Anderson. Can't say I'm surprised. He was always a fringe operator in the Followers. GREETING {exasperated}What's wrong with you? Killing Anderson isn't going to bring Corporal White back. GREETING Interesting way of handling things. Very {soob}sub {roh-sah}rosa. GREETING I don't know if the Scorpions deserved to be wiped out for something they didn't do, but that's one less problem Westside has to deal with. GREETING Anderson turned in for the wrong reason and Westside gets to keep siphoning water. GREETING It's hard to find justice in all of this, but I suppose this is as close as it gets. Thanks. GREETING Extortion? Really? You go through all of this only to extort the people who are trying to help Westside? Unbelievable. GREETING Hildern is a good example of big picture" obsession gone too far." GREETING At some point he became so fixated on large scale results that he lost the concept of the common good" along the way." GREETING It's an inhumane kind of public service when people and the basic resources they need become numbers in a ledger. GREETING A vertibird. Interesting. It's been a long time since I've seen one of these. GREETING Wait, wait, wait a second. What's going on? Am I playing Vergil to your Dante? GREETING I'd like to assume that we're tiptoeing into the mouth of hell out of academic curiosity, but I'm not so open-minded that I've lost my brains. GREETING I guess I'll wait out here, then. GREETING I need to talk to you about something, if you have a minute. GREETING Thanks for doing this, getting them all back together again. GREETING I'll be honest, when Moreno started going off, I didn't think we'd all be walking out of there in one piece. GREETING I still don't know how this is all going to shake out in the end, but at least the Enclave can atone a bit for all the damage it's done. GREETING I shouldn't be surprised at what happened with Moreno. I hoped that after all this time, he could put his anger behind him. GREETING Maybe everything good in Orion Moreno died at Navarro and it was foolish to think there was anything in him left to salvage. GREETING You got the survivors of the Enclave back together so you could convince them to help Caesar?! GREETING What are you thinking? Do you {emph}want to see Vegas turned into the new slave capital of the west? GREETING Hey. You're your own person and all that, but you're acting crazy, and if you keep it up, I'm going to leave. GREETING I like how you handled that. Nicely done. GREETING I can't say that's how {emph.}I would have handled that, but... GREETING You're that courier, right? The guy who runs the Tops, Benny... heard he tried to kill you. GREETING I guess that didn't work out very well for him. {joking}Should I watch my back around you? GREETING Oh, you're that courier, aren't you? The one who got mixed up with Benny over at the Tops. Sounds like messy business. GREETING I'm no botanist, but I think this {emph}may not be entirely natural. GREETING Nuclear waste disposal. Pre-War, people figured there was so much desert in Nevada, you might as well turn it into a big dumping ground. GREETING People didn't like it, but they weren't about to give up easy access to power, not with all of the petroleum drying up. GREETING It's a shame what happened up here. I understand arguments about the fog of war" GREETING {sadly}Or to the NCR soldiers who have to live with what they did here. GREETING In case it's not obvious, I think you should redirect the power to Freeside and outer Vegas. GREETING You activated ARCHIMEDES?! What the hell are you thinking?! GREETING Nicely done. I'm sure people will appreciate the power. I hate to have to rely on it, but out here... it makes a big difference. GREETING Hmm. I suppose an even distribution is better than nothing. GREETING Everything to the Strip and McCarran? Are you kidding? {sighs} GREETING {irritated}I guess I should be grateful you didn't activate the laser. GREETING You have to hand it to the NCR. Get enough hands working together and they can make or break just about anything. GREETING I'm not exactly a mercenary, but taking out scumbags of this magnitude wouldn't cause me to lose any sleep. GREETING Well, I'll be. Hoover Dam. One of the last remaining {emph}functioning wonders of the Pre-War world. GREETING I'm amazed it's still running at all. Too bad everyone's killing each other over it. GREETING What a load of Brahmin shit! Can you believe that guy? GREETING Hey hey, fella, welcome to the Tops Hotel and Casino! I'm going to have to ask you to hand over any weapons you might be carrying. GREETING Hey hey, baby doll, welcome to the Tops Hotel and Casino! I'm going to have to ask you to hand over any weapons you might be carrying. GREETING Welcome back to the Tops. Anything I can do for you? GREETING Enjoying your stay? GREETING {Chomps Lewis Top Level Topics} GREETING Hold up! There are Deathclaws all over the damn place north of here. I'd turn back if I were you. GREETING If you want to get to New Vegas, you're better off heading east from Primm and then looping north. It's a heck of a lot safer. GREETING Can't believe anyone actually made it through from the north, what with all the Deathclaws at the quarry. You returning from New Vegas? GREETING You need something? GREETING Let me ask you a question - what's the tastiest thing you've ever eaten? GREETING This is incredibly good. Here's your omelet, and the recipe if you ever want to make your own. It takes a bit of skill to get it tasting right. GREETING Hey there. What's new? GREETING That's close enough. What do you want with the Great Khans? GREETING Nice outfit, but I know you're not one of us. What do you want with the Great Khans? GREETING {somewhat hostile, untrusting}What do you want now? GREETING {respectful, almost friendly}How's it going? GREETING Hey, hey. What can Tyrone do for you? GREETING I had an amazing time with you. You can look me up any time, baby. GREETING Hey, hey. You're back. GREETING
GREETING
GREETING You've done a good turn for the NCR and now we'd like to do one for you - here's an NCR emergency two-way radio - you call and we'll come running. GREETING You're not alone out here - the NCR has your back. Stay safe and good hunting. GREETING Yeah? GREETING My word, but that was a lot of chopping at that casino, dear. GREETING Naughty children run from their punishment, but we'll find Benny, won't we Leo? GREETING Heavens to Betsy, but Mr. Benny met a nasty end. I hope you've realized, pumpkin, that crime doesn't pay. GREETING My, but that Lucky 38 is a large building. And so fancy! GREETING Leo doesn't like that you left that House man alive, dearie. He thinks you should have let us chop him. GREETING You should have heard Leo, sweetie. He laughed and laughed when that old man in the box exploded. GREETING Leo thinks there will be lots more chopping to do now that Caesar is dead. I do hope you'll be careful, pumpkin. GREETING {Gramma}Grandma's so proud of her little pumpkin, rescuing the President like that! GREETING Now sweetie, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. That goes for learning to ride bikes and killing Presidents! GREETING {Gramma}Grandma's so proud of her little pumpkin, assassinating the President like that! GREETING Leo's very grumpy, pumpkin. He wanted to chop the President! GREETING Look at you, sweetness! Blowing up a robot army all by yourself, isn't that precious? GREETING {Gramma}Grandma's so worried about her little baby! It's getting dangerous out there in the Wasteland! GREETING Leo's getting more and more agitated, sweetie. I think he can smell the fight coming. GREETING I hope you're not thinking about rushing off to that big dam, pumpkin! It's sure to be very dangerous! GREETING {not a follower}Hello again, dear. GREETING {follower}Hello again, dear. GREETING Welcome to The Tops. How can I help you? GREETING Humbly at your service. GREETING Please, ma'am - take pity on us. Free us, I'm begging you! GREETING Please, sir - take pity on us. Free us, please! GREETING That business at the Tops could never happen here. We don't admit that sort of riff-raff. GREETING I know Benny was murdered, but if you ask me, the real crime was that checkered jacket. GREETING A little bird told me Benny might be gone for good. He must've been in some delightful scandal to have run off so suddenly. GREETING {Amused}Those Omertas. Always plotting, never relevant. Bravo for putting them in their place like that. GREETING {Impressed}Word has it you were spotted entering the Lucky 38. How ever did you get on that guest list? GREETING Is it me or do the Securitrons seem... sassier? GREETING Such a shame about Mr. House. He used to send a Securitron to our dinner parties sometimes, like an uninvited but harmless uncle. GREETING There's a rumor going around that you killed Caesar! I'm dying to know... is it true? That he used a hairpiece, I mean? GREETING Caesar may be dead, but I think the toga is here to stay. You simply can't buy better thigh accentuation. GREETING The Kings will be missed. Not by me, of course. But who will buy the food at the Tops now that no one needs it to grease their hair? GREETING It sounds like the Kings made nice with the NCR in Freeside. Seems there was room for two flies on the same bit of dung after all. GREETING What do you need tested?

GREETING When will we be free? GREETING I can't ever thank you enough for saving me and mine! We're free now! GREETING You're a killer. Go away. GREETING We're being held here against our will! I beg you, help us! GREETING Are you going to free us, or what? GREETING Thank you. We never would've escaped without your help. GREETING At least I'm free to bury my kin. GREETING {despair}You killed my kin. Why is this happening to me? GREETING {miserable}Oh, it's just awful here. Can't you help us? GREETING {desperate}You're still gonna free us, aren't you? GREETING Thank you so much for freeing me! GREETING You looking for a pat on the back? My mother is dead. GREETING {you don't like being eclipsed, KAI-zar}Caesar may have deemed you worthy to bear his mark, but your reputation preceeds you. GREETING Your presence will be tolerated, but you are not welcome here. Lucullus awaits you on the docks. GREETING {Angry, do NOT}Do not make {KAI-zar}Caesar wait! Lucullus awaits you on the dock. GREETING {you don't like being eclipsed}A Profligate bearing the Mark of {KAI-zar}Caesar? What is the world coming to? GREETING Cursor {Luh-CUL-us}Lucullus is waiting for you with the barge at the docks. He will take you to The Fort to speak with {KAI-zar}Caesar. GREETING {Annoyed}Get moving, Profligate! Do not make {KAI-zar}Caesar wait! GREETING {surly}Don't try my patience. A nod of my chin, and you'll be decorating a cross. GREETING {pleased}You taught {Seh-VER-us}Severus well! Soon I'll wear a necklace of Profligates' toes, blown off by their own mines!{ha!} GREETING {surly}Don't try my patience. A nod of my chin, and you'll be decorating a cross. GREETING {blunt}Yes? Name your concern. GREETING {Furious}You've heard the news about President Kimball? If I got my hands on the traitor that killed him.... GREETING {Frightened}So now it's come to open assassination attempts against the President? Hard to believe. GREETING {Hugely relieved}Thank God. Please tell me you're here to relieve me. GREETING {Impressed, relieved}Never expected someone as famous as you to turn up here. What can I do for you? GREETING {Mildly impressed}I've been sending requests for relief for months now. Didn't think they'd send you, though. GREETING {Less than thrilled} I really hope you're not here to cause trouble. GREETING {Uncertain}Oh. I've heard of you. What do you want? GREETING {Cold}I'll give you this, you've got a lot of guts just walking in here like this. GREETING {Stiff, really doesn't like the player}What do you want? GREETING {Frustrated, busy}If this isn't a crisis situation, you'd better have a damn good reason for interrupting me. GREETING Anything else I can do for you? GREETING Sharing knowledge with an outsider organization. I knew Veronica couldn't be trusted. GREETING We tracked your movements a long way. But it was worth it to catch her in the act. GREETING Passing Brotherhood secrets to outsiders is the lowest form of treason. What have you got to say for yourself? GREETING We heard Veronica talking with the Elder. We won't stand for this. GREETING What is this? Veronica brings an outsider into our home, then has a private audience with the Elder? GREETING The two of you may have the Elder fooled, but we know better. GREETING Veronica has always twisted the Founder's principles to her own ends. We will not stand idly by and allow her to corrupt our Elder's thinking. GREETING Leave me alone. GREETING Hey, you got a second? GREETING I'd slap him around, but he stood at my parents' wedding. GREETING Plus he used to make excuses to get me out of my punishment when I'd slept through Head Scribe Taggart's lectures. Figure I owe him for that. GREETING
He means well.
GREETING I'd be angrier with him, but it's hard to stay mad at the guy who taught me how to box when all the other Paladins told me no. GREETING
He always does what he feels is right. Usually that's a great quality.
GREETING Let's see what we've got here... Okay, yeah, this is the one I was thinking of. The pulse gun. GREETING Although maybe the rangefinder could work too. And it looks like the NCR was onto some miracle farming technology. GREETING {Defeated}He wouldn't listen. The truth was right there staring him in the face. How could he not listen? GREETING {Disbelieving}God. {Then, saddened}I should get used to this, I guess. People get desperate, they turn on each other. First thing to go is trust. GREETING I don't think it's ever gonna be the same for me in there. Knowing no matter what I do, it's gonna end badly. GREETING But they're all I have. GREETING {Remorseful}God, I did this. This was my fault. Why didn't I see this coming? GREETING Of course they'd track me. Of course they'd assume the worst. Sure, I left them. But that didn't mean I'd ever be free of them. GREETING I should've known I was beaten before I began. I just... I had to try, you know? GREETING Well, if there was any question whether I should leave, I guess there's my answer. GREETING {Horrified}Why did you do that? They were going to let us walk away. Why did you attack them? GREETING I don't care that they started it. What you did was inexcusable. You need to go. GREETING Clearly you're determined to fight the Brotherhood. Well, you can add my name to your hit list because you're on your own. GREETING Okay, listen. The Brotherhood... they're not always the friendliest bunch. But I won't stand for you fighting them. GREETING This is your last chance. GREETING See? Pretty addictive, right? You do it once, it just makes you want to do it more. GREETING You can't help but notice that the Brotherhood barely exists to these people out here. We're like an urban myth. No real presence on the Outside. GREETING We just don't adapt like we should. Used to be that all you needed to get your way was a suit of power armor and a laser rifle. GREETING Now... people are armed and organized. They're not afraid. But we still stick to our old approach, because it's all we know. GREETING You know, I've been thinking. The real problem with the Brotherhood is that we isolate ourselves. GREETING Our training is top-notch, our technology gives us an advantage, but when it all comes down to it, we're losing because we shun the outside world. GREETING We always make enemies, never allies. We refuse to recruit outsiders, or see the value in their simpler technologies. GREETING Hold on. I see something I want to punch. GREETING No offense, but you look like you've traveled a long way down some bad roads. Where'd you come from? GREETING Couldn't get enough of talking to me the first time, huh? GREETING Listen... I want to thank you for helping me out. I'm sorry that... things didn't go like I'd hoped. GREETING But at least I got the chance to try. At least I know for sure that there was nothing I could do. GREETING Thank you for giving me that chance. GREETING Wow, Mr. House is looking for you, huh? What do you think he wants? Bowling partner? GREETING What'd you think of Mr. House? I was surprised he only had the two robot sex slaves. GREETING That chip of yours... I wouldn't wager it on blackjack. GREETING Unless the dealer has a five or six showing. GREETING Whole future of New Vegas seems like it's up in the air. Guess I should wait things out before buying a condo in the Ultra-Luxe, huh? GREETING Hope you're picking the winning side here. Be nice to fight for someone who's gonna be around for a while. GREETING Next stop, Hoover Dam, huh? When we get there... can we stop by the souvenir shop? Their beaver mascot is just precious. GREETING What's up? GREETING {Rex Top Level Topic Holder} GREETING {in combat}
GREETING {player has a hat equipped}
GREETING {in Mojave, player has Wild Wasteland}
GREETING {Rex not cured}
GREETING {Rex cured, initial}
GREETING {Rex cured, return}
GREETING Get you a drink? GREETING If you're looking for supplies I'll make this easy for you... there aren't any. GREETING But something tells me you're not here for that. What do you want? GREETING I've told you Powder Gangers everything I know! Please don't hit me anymore! GREETING {Small Fry}Looks like you've hit a lucky streak there. You must be thirsty by now - here, have a drink on the house and keep on playing! GREETING Well look at that! You aren't a Powder Ganger after all. I'd suggest against wearing that outfit around the townsfolk. You may get shot by accident. GREETING I don't suppose you came here to rescue me? GREETING I don't suppose you came here to rescue me? I'd cross my fingers but my hands are numb. GREETING I apologize, wanderer, but I must go tend to my flock! GREETING I waited to speak with you one last time before I descended to the launch pad, wanderer. GREETING I want you to know that we will remember for all eternity how you delivered us to the threshold of the Great Journey. GREETING Our preparations are nearly complete, but the rockets that will carry us to salvation are yet missing vital components. GREETING If you would still help us, wanderer, speak to Chris. He can tell you what is missing. GREETING There is no way that we can thank you enough, wanderer. Your arrival here was a blessing. We will remember you always. GREETING Forgive me, wanderer, but my flock awaits. GREETING Is the way clear? GREETING Will you help us, wanderer? GREETING The NCR takes care of its own - so in thanks for your service to the Republic{pause while handing over a radio}... here's one of our emergency two-way radios. GREETING You call and we'll come running. {pause}If you're too far from an NCR outpost there won't be much we can do for you... GREETING but then the NCR is just about everywhere these days. Good luck and stay safe out there. GREETING For your service, beyond the call of duty, the NCR would like to award you with this emergency two-way radio. GREETING You call and we'll send you any support we can spare. Keep up the good work, soldier. GREETING The NCR would like to thank you for your service. If you ever need us, just call and we'll come running. GREETING The NCR takes care of its own... and its supporters. Stay safe out there and call us if you get in a jam. GREETING {Radio transmission}Coordinates for supply cache in your region being sent... now. GREETING {Radio transmission}Received - updating map marker for local NCR supply cache. GREETING {Radio transmission}This is NCR Operator - message received - sending map marker for local supply cache. GREETING How is your visit with us going, stranger? GREETING You have done well to earn the trust of my people, child. GREETING Hello, friend. How can Mother Pearl be of help today? GREETING So you're the outsider. Lived your whole life out there, huh? Wow. GREETING I always thought you savages probably spoke a different language, but I hear you sound like us. GREETING Thank you for getting Janet to Nellis. I've never been so happy in my entire life! GREETING This has been a dream come true to work on the Lady. I don't think I've seen Loyal this frisky in years.{test} GREETING I've never been so happy in my entire life! GREETING Have you seen her? The redhead of my dreams? GREETING Hi! I can't believe I'm going to meet my red-headed lady soon! I'm really nervous about it! GREETING {Player responsible for the death of his love}Go to hell, outsider. Stay away from me. GREETING You're a terrible person! I loved her! And you let her run right into our killzone. Why didn't you stop her? GREETING Hey there. Back for more? GREETING Whoa there, pal. You better slow down, or you'll get blown up like the rest of the idiots who thought they'd scavenge in Boomer territory. GREETING Now that I've got your attention, might you be interested in a little information? It'll cost you, but it's well worth the investment. GREETING Welcome back. Have you reconsidered my offer?{test} GREETING I told you what you need to know. Now get moving! GREETING Jumpin' Jesus on a pogo stick! You're the first one to make it through alive, let alone manage a return trip! GREETING That was pretty incredible. I've never seen anyone come out of the Boomer's rain of death alive before.{test} GREETING Hey there lady! Can you help me find Mister Cuddles? GREETING Hey there mister! Can you help me find Mister Cuddles? GREETING Hi again! Have you found Mister Cuddles? GREETING Thanks again for finding Mister Cuddles! You're the best! GREETING I can't believe Mister Cuddles is gone. GREETING Pearl sent word saying it's all right to tell you about the Lady in the water. GREETING Isn't that bomber a beauty? Thanks so much for making an old man's dreams come true. GREETING It's going to be a dream come true once you've raised that bomber from Lake Mead! GREETING Good work with those solar arrays. GREETING I hope Pearl knows what she's doing, letting you wander around Nellis as you please. GREETING What is it, Outsider? GREETING {fall-through greeting, friendly}Hello, Outsider, need something? GREETING {to the sentry}I'll take this from here! GREETING {to player, commanding}I'm Raquel, Master-At-Arms for the Nellis homeland. Mother Pearl, our Eldest, wishes to speak to you. GREETING Hello, friend. {player raised the B-29 and delivered it to Nellis} GREETING Mother Pearl's instructions are clear. You can move freely around Nellis, and artillery spotters have orders not to fire on you. GREETING These are extraordinary privileges. Don't abuse them. GREETING What is it, savage? GREETING What's the situation with the giant ants? GREETING I see the power's back on. The ants are all dead? GREETING What is it, Outsider? GREETING I know Mother Pearl is letting you wander Nellis as you please, Outsider, but I have patients to tend to. GREETING If I haven't said it before, Outsider, let me say it now - welcome to Nellis. Word from Pearl is that you're to be greeted as a friend. GREETING You raised the Lady from the Lake! The future is looking up. How can I help you, Outsider? GREETING Yes, Outsider? GREETING Woah! You're the outsider! What are you doing here? GREETING Hey! Do they have any toys outside of here? I sure could use something fun. GREETING Roar! {Roars like a dinosaur}I'm a dinosaur! GREETING This is mission control, ready for liftoff. What's your 5 by 5? GREETING Halt! You must pay the toll to pass! GREETING Put up your dukes! I'm the Red-Brick Kid! GREETING I am La Fantoma! I will fly to the side of injustice! GREETING You're back. When you walked off in the middle of our people's story, I thought you must be bored. GREETING You killed Mother Pearl! Get out of here, outsider! GREETING You killed Loyal! Get out of here, outsider! GREETING You're the outsider! Mother Pearl sent word that you'd be stopping by. You must be eager to hear the story of our people! GREETING I heard about what you've done around here, and I have nothing to say to you, outsider. GREETING People around here are a bit upset with you, outsider, but I think there is hope for you yet. GREETING I've seen the bomber! It's... spectacular. The mural is coming true - thanks to you! GREETING Were you interested in hearing the story of our people any time soon, perhaps? GREETING Now that you know the story of our people, you must have all sorts of questions! GREETING How can I help you, Outsider? GREETING Hold it right there! Don't you move! GREETING How the hell did you survive that bombardment? GREETING I still can't believe how you ran through that artillery barrage. GREETING Yes, Outsider? GREETING You're interrupting class, Outsider. GREETING Yeah? GREETING Hungry for grub? GREETING Welcome to Jacobstown, human. You're free to walk around, just don't stare at the Nightkin. They don't like people looking at them. GREETING {A little quieter, more confidentially}And if you're NCR, keep it to yourself. They're not popular around here. GREETING Got a problem, could use your help. Been having trouble with NCR mercs harassing the town, and they just showed up again. GREETING I knew you'd make it. Resourceful, as always. GREETING The override module is functioning properly. I'm rerouting power to the Securitron vault at the Fort as we speak... GREETING I just need you to head over to the east power plant and manually activate the switch. GREETING When you return topside, I think you'll see that my Securitron army is a little more than the Legion was prepared to handle. GREETING Oh, and before you go - grab that print-out spooling from the console here - those papers set the terms for the NCR's unconditional surrender. GREETING I thought you might enjoy the honor of presenting them to the NCR's commanding officer, once the Legion has been defeated. Cheers! GREETING Oh, what do you want? GREETING Aha. The brave photographer returns. Good to see you. GREETING {Still afraid}Now that you have all you care for, please... leave, and don't come back! GREETING {Deeply Saddened}I can't talk, not after what happened to Sarah. I feel... so cold. GREETING You shouldn't be here. If people know we talked, they'll suspect you. GREETING And if whoever did this smells a rat, they'll have the Legion after both of us. GREETING That's it, then. How did you know? GREETING If there's one thing I won't tolerate, it's working with some dog of the Legion. You've got some explaining to do. GREETING I told you I wouldn't work against the NCR. I meant it. GREETING I'm out of here. GREETING Still helping the Legion. You're gonna get what's coming to you. I promise you that. GREETING We're through working together. GREETING Look, I know the NCR has problems, but I fought with those men. I'll be damned before I betray them. GREETING This stops right now. GREETING We can chat later. The sooner you finish these tests the sooner you can get out of here. GREETING You're the courier I've heard so much about. My squad needs your assistance. GREETING So any word on my friends? GREETING
GREETING {FIRST TALK, BAD NCR REP}{appraising}So I finally get to meet the courier who's caused so much trouble for the New California Republic. GREETING
GREETING {FIRST TALK}So I finally get to meet the courier who's accomplished so much in so little time. That is why I summoned you here, right? GREETING I mean, a man nearly kills you, and your response is to track him across the breadth of the Mojave? GREETING {FIRST TALK}The question is... are you ready to get started? GREETING Down the hill, at the west edge of camp, is an old building. It was here when the Fort was taken in 2277. GREETING Inside the building is a hatch, and inside that hatch are two steel doors that bear the {SIH-jihl}sigil of the Lucky 38 casino. GREETING Now that same sigil is on the Platinum Chip Benny was carrying when we captured him. Isn't that interesting? GREETING Now that same sigil is on the Platinum Chip you were carrying. Isn't that interesting? GREETING Even more interesting, there's a slot about the same size as the Chip on the console that opens the hatch. So you know what I think? GREETING I think the Platinum Chip opens those doors - doors that can't be pried open or drilled open or blasted open. Because all that, I tried. GREETING {BEFORE VAULT DESTROYED}We'll talk again when you've destroyed whatever is down in that bunker - not before. GREETING {AFTER VAULT DESTROYED}I felt the ground shake a while ago. I'll take that as a sign you got the job done. GREETING There are rewards for doing as I command. Today, your reward is vengeance. You get to decide how Benny dies. GREETING Go to Benny, let him know what you've decided. My Praetorians will perform the execution - {giving player credit}unless you want to perform it yourself. GREETING We have nothing to discuss until you've dealt with Benny. GREETING I'm sure you found Benny's demise pleasing. The destruction of an enemy... there are few things more satisfying. GREETING Let's press on, shall we? As I was telling you before, I want Mr. House out of the picture. GREETING You have an interest in his death, too. If he knows that you destroyed his {for lack of a better term}gadgets beneath the Fort, he will strike back. GREETING You know where to find him. How he dies, I leave up to you. GREETING Until Mr. House has been dealt with, you and I have nothing to talk about. GREETING I've read Mr. House's obituary. Had a high opinion of himself, didn't he? GREETING {seething}I spent months feeding the Omertas bribes, nursing their betrayal, and you've ruined all that. GREETING {seething}Do you have any idea how much effort it took to place a mole at McCarran who could plant that bomb on the monorail? The one you defused? GREETING {seething}The garrison I placed at Nelson served a vital strategic function. Did you think you could wipe it out and I wouldn't find out? GREETING {seething}Weeks were spent convincing the Great Khans to join the Legion, but you've ruined all that. {louder}Haven't you? GREETING With Mr. House out of the way, I can focus on smoothing out a few {slight beat}lingering complications elsewhere in the Mojave. GREETING First up are the Boomers of Nellis Air Force Base, a tribe so reclusive, it lobs artillery shells at anyone who comes near their settlement. GREETING I want you to offer them an alliance with my Legion. My terms are simple: target their guns against the NCR side of the dam when I assault it... GREETING ...and they can keep their freedom. If you find they aren't amenable to this offer, destroy them. GREETING It's reached me that you killed Silus before he could talk. I approve. GREETING I understand that you freed Silus before he could talk. I approve. GREETING Silus dishonored himself when he let himself be captured, and he'll pay the price for that. But the NCR didn't learn anything valuable. GREETING Have you brought news of the Boomers? GREETING {SUDDEN PAIN}I would've asked you to forge an alliance with the White Glove Society, but you've already killed its leaders. So instead - GREETING {sudden, excruciating pain in head}{gritting teeth}Ehhhh! Goddammit! GREETING {SUDDEN PAIN}I want you to forge an alliance between Caesar's Legion and the White Glove Society. GREETING They used to be cannibals. I expect that information can be used to manipulate them. Go to -{stopping short as pain eplodes inside head} GREETING {sudden, excruciating pain in head}{gritting teeth}Ehhhh! Goddammit! GREETING {limping off to bed, head feels like it's being crushed}Goddammit, go away! Come back when I've had some sleep! GREETING {head feels like it's being crushed}I warned you not to bother me! GREETING Praetorians, kill this asshole! GREETING {recovered from yesterday's sudden headache}The last time we met, I believe we were talking about the White Glove Society? GREETING Have you been successful in your efforts to recruit the White Glove Society? GREETING {ABSENCE SEIZURE}I want you to destroy the Mojave Chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel. It's not a full-strength chapter, mind you. The Profligates...{trail off. Absence seizure begins} GREETING ...{breathe through nostrils for several seconds} GREETING Urh...{continue breathing through nostrils} GREETING {Caesar heading for bed}{tired}If you interfere with me getting some sleep again, I'm going to have you killed. {resolved}We will talk later. GREETING {tired, growing angry}You want to die? Fine! GREETING {shouting for guards, voice weaker than usual}Praetorians! Kill this asshole! GREETING Has the Brotherhood been destroyed? GREETING {Brotherhood resolved}I want you to join me in my tent. You and I are going to have a private conversation. GREETING All right, let's state the obvious. There's something wrong with me. GREETING The headaches started a couple months ago. They weren't too bad at first... but now they come frequently and they're... {beat}debilitating. GREETING For the past two weeks, my left leg has been dragging. It's stiffer, hard to move. And you've seen me blank out. GREETING Lucius says I stare into space, blink a few times, then keep talking like nothing happened. So what's the diagnosis? GREETING {Successful surgery}I thank you for saving my life. You're a warrior {emphasis}and a healer - a rare combination. GREETING I thank you for saving my life. Arcade will be a fine addition to my retinue. GREETING I thank you for saving my life. The Auto-Doc module you recovered did the trick. GREETING I trust this payment is adequate compensation for your troubles. Now, lest we grow sentimental here... GREETING The time for battle will soon be upon us. {Le-GAH-tus La-nee-OOS}Legatus Lanius draws nigh. When he arrives, my Legion will assault Hoover Dam. GREETING In the meantime, the Profligates have prepared a welcome gift for us. The President of the NCR intends to visit Hoover Dam. GREETING You {slight beat}dispatched President Kimball with real skill. Right under their noses, too - {enjoying it}what a humiliation. GREETING {seething}Why did you not attack President Kimball? GREETING {seething}President Kimball was there on the Dam, right before you. And yet he lives. {beat}How did you fuck this up? GREETING {Kimball quest resolved}My forces are in position to assault the Dam. {Leh-GAH-tus Lah-Nee-OOS}Legatus Lanius has assumed command. GREETING Are you ready to go to him? To tell him to begin the assault? GREETING You know everything you need to know. Be on your way. GREETING {MASTER QUESTION NODE}What did you want to know? GREETING {MASTER QUESTION NODE}What else did you want to know? GREETING {MASTER QUESTION NODE}Even with the Boomers to deal with, you have questions? GREETING {MASTER QUESTION NODE}Even with the White Glove Society to deal with, you have questions? GREETING {MASTER QUESTION NODE}Even with the Brotherhood to deal with, you have questions? GREETING {MASTER QUESTION NODE}Even with a President to kill, you have questions? GREETING {MASTER QUESTION NODE}Even on the brink of the final battle, you have questions? GREETING {Mr. House Top Level Topic Holder} GREETING {Boomer Top Level Topic Holder} GREETING {White Glove Society Top Level Topic Holder} GREETING {Brotherhood of Steel Top Level Topic Holder} GREETING {President Kimball Top Level Topic Holder} GREETING Do you have any progress to report? GREETING Allow me to make this clear. Because you've been of service to me, I will forgive your crimes against my Legion this one time. GREETING In the future, if I become aware that you've committed other crimes, I'll have my Praetorians butcher you before my eyes. GREETING If you've committed any other crimes, this is the time to confess them, because after today there will be no forgiveness. GREETING I warned you about this. {to your guards}Praetorians, slaughter this degenerate! GREETING Not now! GREETING {Radio}Report. GREETING Careful, sometimes they escape and I have to round them up again. GREETING Why do you scare my cattle? GREETING Don't scare the herd. GREETING Leave doggies alone. GREETING {Amazed at the Player}You must be very special to Mr. House, huh? GREETING {Amazed at the Player}How did you get in there? GREETING {Amazed at the Player}Wow... I've never seen anyone go into the Lucky 38 before. GREETING {Amazed at the Player}Don't mind me. I was just passing by. GREETING {Amazed at the Player}I bet everyone's going to hear about you going into the 38. GREETING {Amazed at the Player}My pals said nobody has ever been inside the Lucky 38. GREETING {Amazed at the Player}Hey, sexy, come by the Tops later. I'd love to hear your story. GREETING Hi! I'm Sarah, Sarah Weintraub. Welcome to the finest Vault hotel in the whole world! GREETING They're hoarding our water! How are we supposed to survive the desert, huh? GREETING Hope those greedy bastards rot in foul water. GREETING One of these days, we're going to teach them a good lesson. GREETING We'll be back. They can't step over our people forever. GREETING Those hillbillies think they can take our water. We bring civilization, and this is how they repay us. GREETING Damned rats. Next time I see them, I swear, I'll aim right between their eyes. GREETING They've got no right to come near our outposts. This is NCR territory, now. GREETING I almost pity them, these desert savages. GREETING We'll get back our water, and our land, one of these days. We'll be mean to those soldiers until they leave! GREETING They're asking for it, those people from the NCR. We're tough, here! They don't scare us. GREETING This desert is our home! GREETING We've lived here a long time! We're not going to leave our home. GREETING They're mean! Don't want to share water with us. GREETING Hey there. Need anything? GREETING The Caesar has marked you for death... and the Legion obeys. Ready yourself for battle. GREETING Now you will serve as an example to all who dare oppose Caesar's Legion. Defend yourself! GREETING You have defied Caesar for the last time! Your life ends now! GREETING The honcho of one of them Strip families got killed right in his own casino. You know he pissed off the wrong guy! GREETING Now that McNamara's lifted that silly lockdown of his, perhaps people around here will come to appreciate our training simulations. GREETING Perhaps there will be a renewed interest in them as people realize just how close to reality they are... but I digress. What did you want? GREETING Now that Hardin's Elder, I hope I'll be allowed to continue my experiments. I never quite liked the way he looked at me during meetings. GREETING Like he wanted to use me for target practice. The man just has no respect for science! But enough of this. What did you want? GREETING Yes? What is it? GREETING I'll track the virus from over here. You just concentrate on locating the terminals hosting it. GREETING {Flustered}Look, this isn't a great {time}ti- oh, what the hell, it's not like we're making any progress. I'm Ibsen, and I hope your day is going better than mine is. GREETING Did you want to try isolating the virus? GREETING You actually did it! If you don't mind my saying so, I didn't think you had a chance in hell of pulling it off. GREETING But I'm glad to be wrong for once! Thank you, my friend. Please, feel free to access the datastore at your leisure. GREETING I'm only allowed to give you access to non-classified topics, but it's better than nothing, right? GREETING Heard you helped out Jackson, thanks for that. Caravans are still waiting for clearance to move out, but at least there's movement. GREETING {Impressed}Coming from the North? Must be crazy to brave those roads. GREETING Something else you wanted? GREETING Get rough with the escorts, and you'll be seeing the business end of my barrel. GREETING With the Kings gone, who is going to keep Freeside safe? GREETING If the King is working with the NCR, he must have a damn good reason. I just hope it doesn't come back to bite us. GREETING Do I know you? GREETING And you are? GREETING Need something? GREETING I'm hearing good things about you, friend. Good things. GREETING Good to see someone helping out for a change. GREETING People say you've been helping out around town. Much appreciated, friend. GREETING You've done good, kid. Happy to have you around. GREETING I'm amazed by how much you've accomplished here in Freeside. GREETING We've been really fortunate to have you helping Freeside. GREETING Helping on a consistent basis wouldn't hurt you, would it? GREETING You've done a strange mix of things since coming to Freeside. GREETING Does it get painful sitting on the fence like you do? GREETING It seems you've decided to be indecisive when it comes to helping Freesiders. GREETING Throwing caution to the wind yet again, huh? GREETING I guess no one is ever going to change a crazy freak like you. GREETING What did we ever do to you? Can't we all just get along? GREETING Why the hate for Freeside? We're not all bad. GREETING What the hell do you want? GREETING Go to hell you two-faced bastard. GREETING Go away, you rotten bastard. GREETING Way to stab us in the back, asshole. GREETING Howdy, doc. Strange to see you wandering around. GREETING I admire a woman who can hold her liquor. Cute to boot. GREETING She looks like she knows how to handle herself in a fight. GREETING I hope you programmed that thing to be friendly to Freesiders. GREETING Super mutant? You don't look so super to me. GREETING How's it hangin', old man? Oh, sorry. GREETING Hey, Rex. I see your new master is keeping you polished up. Good for you. GREETING Cheer up, lady. You've still got your youth. GREETING I've gotta hand it to you. You've done good things for Novac, but you've also got 'em a little scared of you. And that's great for business. GREETING As long as you keep it coming, I'll get you some things a little cheaper than they should be. GREETING What can I do for you? GREETING Between you and me, I don't think she studied at an accredited institution. GREETING She hasn't paid me anything yet. Should I be worried? GREETING {Radio transmission}This is NCR Operator - I read you. The supplies are on their way. GREETING {Radio transmission}Message received - supplies en route. GREETING {Radio transmission}Supply crate airdrop heading to your location. GREETING {Radio transmission}NCR Trooper support en route to your location. GREETING {Radio transmission}NCR support moving to your location. GREETING {Radio transmission}Request received - NCR Troopers in your area are being redirected to your location. GREETING {Radio transmission}NCR Ranger support en route to your location. GREETING {Radio transmission}The cavalry is on its way - just sit tight, we'll be there. GREETING {Radio transmission}Support inbound - deploying NCR Rangers to your location. GREETING {Radio transmission}Your wish is my command - NCR support is on its way. GREETING {Radio transmission}Your problems will soon be solved - Rangers heading your way now. GREETING {Radio transmission}There is no NCR support in your area - suggest a tactical retreat. GREETING {Radio transmission}Negative, no NCR support available at your current location. GREETING {Radio transmission}Transmission not received - attempt new transmission closer to an NCR outpost. GREETING {Radio transmission}Sorry, sir, that's all the support I can spare today. GREETING {Radio transmission}I can't redirect any more support to you today - it would put too many lives at risk. I'll get you what I can tomorrow. GREETING {Radio transmission}I can't afford to send you anything else today. Sorry, sir... good luck out there. GREETING {Radio transmission}You're just going to have to cowboy up, sir - I can't spare any more support today. GREETING {Radio transmission}I sent you all I had last time, sir - you're on your own until at least midnight. GREETING {Radio transmission}I sent you all I had last time, sir - you're on your own until we get resupplied tomorrow. GREETING {Radio transmission}Support request received - deploying Troopers to your area. Hold tight, help is on the way. GREETING {Radio transmission}Received - find some cover, NCR support is on the way. GREETING {Radio transmission}I sent you all I had last time, sir - you're on your own until dawn at least. GREETING {Radio transmission}Stay safe out there. GREETING {Radio transmission}Good hunting, sir. GREETING {Radio transmission}Over. GREETING {Radio transmission}Over-and-out. GREETING {Radio transmission}Good luck out there. GREETING NCR Trooper, reporting for duty! GREETING Trooper, ready to fight! GREETING You called for a Trooper? GREETING You called for an extra gun? GREETING I got your call and came running. GREETING Guns and gear - at your service. GREETING Someone said you needed backup? I'm it. GREETING You called for backup? GREETING Where's the fight, sir? GREETING For the Republic! GREETING Ranger at the ready! GREETING NCR Ranger, reporting for duty! GREETING Here we are, you just point and we'll shoot. GREETING Here I am, just point at what needs killing. GREETING One riot, one ranger... let's get this done. GREETING Heard you were in a spot of trouble, friend. Let's fix that. GREETING I heard your call and happened to be in the area. GREETING For the Republic! GREETING You called for an extra gun? GREETING You're lucky I happened to be nearby. GREETING I got your flank - you just shoot what's in front of you! GREETING Ranger here - where's the fight? GREETING What are you doing here? This is our casino, punk. GREETING Gotta run! No time to chat! GREETING Sorry, you just win too much. We can't let you play here anymore. GREETING Welcome to Vikki and Vance, we're still getting the casino up and running but feel free to sit down and play. GREETING We're hoping that Primm will get back on its feet from the money we earn here. GREETING We feel much safer opening the casino back up, now that we have a sheriff. GREETING I'm glad that I could start working here again, things were rough with those convicts in town. GREETING {Placeholder for Top Level Topics} GREETING Thank you for coming, let's talk about that robot. GREETING Have you given any more thought to my offer? GREETING I'd like to talk to you about your robot. Bring it here and we can talk. I'm sure we can be of mutual benefit to each other. GREETING {Small Fry}I must say, fortune seems to be with you of late. Please, enjoy this, compliments of the White Glove Society. GREETING {Big Winner}You certainly seem to be making a splash with all your success in the casino. Our executive chef prepared this delicacy for you himself. Enjoy. GREETING {Whale}You are quite simply the talk of the casino right now with your astonishing play. Do stay in our {BONE veev-ONT, light French 'n' for Bon}Bon Vivant suite so you may continue to dazzle us. GREETING {Banned}This simply will not do. You must leave immediately. GREETING The torching is Philippe's idea. Brilliant, no? GREETING Keep away from me, if you know what's good for you. GREETING You look positively famished. We simply can't have that. GREETING Welcome to Top Shelf. The drinks cost twice as much during happy hour, but they draw twice the attention, too. GREETING What can I get you? GREETING What's this about the White Glove Society? GREETING You got me my boy back. I got no words. GREETING Now... I hope you didn't do no harm to whoever's responsible for this. I wanna skin their hides myself. GREETING You got a lot of nerve sticking around here. If I didn't have better things to do I'd thump your skull for what you said. GREETING Tell me good news. GREETING {To himself}Ted, where are you, boy? GREETING Beg your pardon, stranger, but I'm looking for someone. You ain't seen a young man with dark brown hair and a white hat on lately, have you? GREETING You ain't heard anything about my boy, have you? GREETING You done right by me. I appreciate it. GREETING Oh- oh my. How unfortunate! And in front of all these people, too. GREETING He always was a bit of a pill, Mortimer. He was so pouty when I decided to ban eating people. And now this. GREETING I should've paid more attention to the warning signs. GREETING Can you imagine what people would've said? Why, it would've been a complete scandal if it weren't for you. GREETING To think, Mr. Gunderson, a cold-blooded murderer. It's simply chilling. GREETING But his arrest ought to instill faith in our patrons that murderers are not welcome to gamble here. GREETING What a disaster! An important person dead in my hotel. GREETING {Appalled}Now people will confuse us with Gomorrah. The idea! GREETING So glad you could be here tonight. I had hoped you would join us. GREETING Welcome to the Ultra-Luxe. I do hope it exceeds your every expectation. GREETING You double-crossing snake! I have nothing to say to someone so lowly and ill-mannered. GREETING {Pissed}I wanted Mr. Gunderson out of the way, not slaughtered in my hotel! Our business is concluded. Good day! GREETING {Angry}You've done enough! GREETING Mark my words. I'll have you filleted for this. GREETING Ah, you're back. You're always a welcome guest here. GREETING Any word as to our arrangement? GREETING What the- ? Who is this trespasser? GREETING How may I be of service, sir? GREETING How may I be of service, madam? GREETING Who are you? GREETING You'll have to excuse me. There's somewhere I need to be right now. GREETING Good day. GREETING Leave me alone. Haven't you done enough? GREETING Why are you standing still? Do you think that the world waits for you while you you stand there drooling? Get back out there and get to work! GREETING Can't you see I'm busy? GREETING I thought I told you to get lost. GREETING Why are you standing still? Do you think that the world waits for you while you you stand there drooling? Get back out there and get to work! GREETING How may I assist? GREETING Come on, move it. GREETING My daddy's gonna kill all you bastards once he finds out what you done to me. GREETING You know, if you knew what you were doing I coulda been out of there hours ago. GREETING Beg your pardon, but could I trouble you to turn over your weapons? GREETING You! What do you think you're doing? GREETING The sooner you find yourself elsewhere, the better. GREETING Outrageous what Mortimer did. The nerve of some people. GREETING {Mock sympathy}Oh, Mortimer. You always had the gift of gaffe. GREETING Usually we punish people who come in here uninvited. But you've made such a splash, we don't have the heart. GREETING Your theatrics were just priceless. I salute you. GREETING Mortimer's vision was absolutely inspired. GREETING Now it can truly be said that not only to we dress better than anyone, we eat better as well. GREETING I supported Mortimer from the beginning. GREETING Of course cannibalism is civilized! It's all a matter of perspective. GREETING I am at your service. GREETING Have you been inside our bathhouse? The salts in the water work to balance the bodily humors. GREETING To eat at the Gourmand is to spoil the palate. I can't bring myself to eat anywhere else. GREETING Did you see Heck Gunderson the brahmin baron at the bar? He may be a wastelander, but his taste clearly befits his status. GREETING Certainly you can buy the same drinks more cheaply elsewhere, but the point of drinking at Top Shelf isn't the liquor. It's the prestige. GREETING Marjorie has done a remarkable job managing the restoration of this place, wouldn't you agree? GREETING Our executive chef Philippe is the toast of New Vegas. His Brahmin Wellington is absolutely sublime. GREETING You watch yourself around Mr. Gunderson. GREETING Keep your distance. Who are you, and what do you want? GREETING It smells so good in here. Like the air is cleaner than it is outside. GREETING I heard they brought in sea salts from California just for this bath. GREETING I'm so relaxed. Too bad I can't stay longer. But who can, at these prices? GREETING Have you been in the steam room yet? It's just off to the side there. You can feel your aches just melt away. GREETING Every evening most of the White Glove Society sneaks away somewhere. It's probably just for show. GREETING I'm in Heaven. I haven't had a meal like this in... well... ever, really. GREETING Philippe has outdone himself again. GREETING For the price of this meal I could buy a whole Brahmin. But I'd never make that trade. GREETING Hey, any idea how somebody gets into the White Glove Society? Have to know somebody? GREETING They must've spent a fortune renovating this place. GREETING I love the masks. It's like being at a fancy ball. GREETING I'm not really gambling. I'm just hoping to be seen here. People will think I'm rich. GREETING I've heard you have to make reservations at the Gourmand years in advance. GREETING Those masks make me nervous. Is there something wrong with their faces? GREETING There are a lot of rumors going around about the White Glove Society. I heard they used to be tribals. GREETING Top Shelf is the premiere bar on the Strip. The drinks are overpriced, but that's the whole point. GREETING Sorry, friend, you crossed the NCR one too many times - you've been marked for death... and we're here to take care of that. GREETING Nothing personal - orders - you know how it is. {pause}Well, let's get to it. GREETING Never mind - don't care. You've got two more days to deal with your bad NCR reputation. GREETING Make them happy or we'll make you dead. GREETING We're back - you've got two days left to improve your NCR reputation. After that we find you and end you. Clear? GREETING Remember us? You've got two days left make up for pissing off the NCR. See you around.
GREETING {Sarcastic}So, last day on earth, huh? Getting your affairs in order? Or are you still trying to work on that bad reputation of yours? GREETING The NCR just wants to be friends, but you don't seem to want to play nice. See you tomorrow. GREETING Tick-tock, time's up. The NCR says you gotta die, so guess what? GREETING I gave you three days - you should have crawled in a hole somewhere. Time to die. GREETING Well, take a good look around - this is where your life ended. GREETING It would be so very delightful if you set me free. GREETING If it's bad news, you can take it up with the Colonel. If it's good news, it better involve some dead Fiends. GREETING Just give us an excuse. Been too long since I fired my weapon. GREETING Don't go fucking about, asshole. GREETING Mess with any of the equipment here and I'll mount your head on a stick. GREETING Just try pulling some of your Brahmin shit here at the Dorado and see what happens. GREETING Not much happens here at the Dorado, and that's how we like it. GREETING Only combat I seen lately was shooting some Geckos. GREETING All the juice from Hoover flows right through the Dorado, and we send it west to keep the home lights burning. GREETING My folks back home got lights at night thanks to what we're doing here. GREETING We keep an eye out for Legion raiding parties. They'd love to shut down the Dorado. GREETING Stay out of the control room and enclosure or there's gonna be trouble, got it? GREETING The power transmission cables are all underground. Good thing, or the old war might've knocked them down. GREETING You visiting every NCR post just to see the sights? This here's the Dorado - it's where we send power back home. GREETING Look all you want, just don't mess with any of the equipment. The control room's off-limits, and so is the enclosure. GREETING If you're planning on staying awhile, the Dino Dee-lite's got plenty of room. GREETING {annoyed at town conspiracy theorist}Don't listen to a word No-bark says. He spouts nothing but nonsense. GREETING Been to the top of the dino yet? GREETING {successful rocket launch}Good thing none of those rockets crashed into Novac. GREETING If it weren't for the water caravans, Novac would've turned to dust a long time ago. GREETING {Boone shot Manny}Can't believe Boone shot Manny. GREETING {Boone shot Jeannie}Boone must've had a hell of a grudge against Jeannie-May. GREETING {Boone shot Alice}What did Boone have against Alice? GREETING {Boone shot Dusty}Boone thought Dusty sold Carla into slavery? GREETING {Boone shot No-bark}No-bark was harmless. There's no way he had something to do with Boone's wife. GREETING {Boone shot Andy}Hell of thing for Boone to kill Ranger Andy like that. GREETING {Chupacabra killed}Looks like the McBrides weren't telling tall tales after all. GREETING {Chupacabra alive}The McBrides think some mysterious creature is shooting up their Brahmin. Gotta be somebody in town doing it. GREETING {rocket launch}All the noise at REPCONN scared the hell out of me. GREETING {rocket launch failed}Knew those ghouls were up to no good. Look where it got us. GREETING Thanks for all your help. GREETING You been real kind to us. GREETING Just showed up out of nowhere and lended a hand. We appreciate it. GREETING Without you we'd be in a lot worse shape. GREETING I hope good things come your way. GREETING We must've done something right for you to come along like you did. GREETING Stay away, you hear? GREETING You monster! GREETING You're sick, you know that? GREETING I don't much like you. GREETING Maybe you should just move on. GREETING You mind your business, we'll mind ours. GREETING You're confusing to us. Why are you here? GREETING You're kind of odd, aren't you? GREETING How about you just do nice things for us. We liked {emph}those. GREETING This is not a market, sir - you need to improve your reputation with the NCR before you're welcome in our outposts. GREETING You're walking on thin ice with the NCR. It's time to decide where your loyalties lay, friend. Until then don't expect any hospitality from us. GREETING The NCR isn't in the habit of letting loose cannons like you just wander our bases. GREETING I suggest you move along until you decide where your loyalties fall. GREETING Get up! You can't sleep here - move on. GREETING Wake up, merc! These cots are for NCR only. GREETING No room at the inn, merc. Move along. GREETING Slumber party's over, pal. Get a move-on. GREETING Wake-y wake-y - eggs and bake-y.
GREETING Wake up! This ain't your bed. GREETING Get up. GREETING Move along. GREETING Get up. Sleep it off somewhere else. GREETING Get out of that bed. GREETING No sleeping here. GREETING {dying, in pain, pleading}Kill me! GREETING {dying, in pain}Stay away! GREETING Well, seems like you've redeemed yourself. Welcome back to the NCR's good graces. Play nice... or I'll be back for you. GREETING The brass has put me back on my leash - that must mean that you've decided to play nice with the NCR. Good choice, you just saved your life. GREETING Don't make me come after you again. GREETING I see you took my advice and made nice with the NCR. Guess that means you aren't as dumb as you look. GREETING Stay smart and I won't have to come for you again. GREETING I don't know how you managed to improve your reputation with the NCR after pissing us off like that, but honestly... GREETING I'm just happy I don't have to kill you now. See you around, wastelander. GREETING Get him! Nobody screws with the NCR! GREETING The NCR's come for you - time to die! GREETING You crossed the NCR one time too many - now you die! GREETING Did you think you'd get away with crossing the NCR?! GREETING The NCR wants you dead, friend! GREETING Consider this your final warning from the NCR! GREETING Nobody crosses the NCR! GREETING You'll pay for crossing the NCR! GREETING This is what the NCR does with traitors! GREETING We've got people to kill. Keep an eye out. GREETING Never thought I'd ever have my own town, but thanks to you, now I do. If you wanna make some caps, head on over to the Correctional Facility. GREETING Just tell them I sent you and you should get in without a problem. Keep a close eye on some of those bastards, though. GREETING Oh, not all Powder Gangers out there are friends of mine - like the group in Primm. They'll be gunning for you no matter what, so keep that in mind. GREETING My gang's here, but we'll still need a plan before we rush the town. I don't want to embarrass myself and get beat by a bunch of townies. GREETING We ain't got much in the way of supplies, so if you could shake down the old doctor and the store owner for some stuff, we'd be in good shape. GREETING I also thought it might be a good thing to jimmy the lock on the Bighorner pen. The noise from the fight will spook them, get them running wild. GREETING Once you're done with that stuff - or none of it - say the word and we'll make our move. GREETING We ready to move or what? GREETING What do you want? GREETING {not in charge of Goodsprings}What do you want now? GREETING {running Goodsprings, slightly friendly}How's it going? GREETING {Gunfight started, no Trudy help}Are you trying to get my saloon shot up? Finish what you started! GREETING {Gunfight started, Trudy help}Keep an eye out. This isn't finished yet. GREETING Well, you've been causing quite a stir. Glad I finally got to meet you. Welcome to the Prospector Saloon. GREETING So, you're planning on taking on Joe Cobb's gang. It's a big risk, but I suppose you have to do what you think is right. GREETING I hope you didn't just bring a heap of trouble down on Goodsprings by killing Joe Cobb like that. GREETING His friends might come looking for him, and I don't think they're going to care who was involved in his death or not. GREETING Well, what's done is done. So, uh, what can I do for you? GREETING I'm glad that business is over. I like it when Goodsprings is nice and quiet. GREETING Feeling thirsty? I can take care of that. GREETING You shouldn't have crossed the Powder Gangers! Now you're going to pay! GREETING I have a present for you from the Powder Gangers... I hope you like dynamite! GREETING You'll pay for what you did to the Powder Gangers! GREETING Nobody screws with the Powder Gangers and lives! GREETING Here he is, boys! Let's show him what happens when you cross the Powder Gangers! GREETING {Gunfight in progress, not helping}Get away! I'm not part of your fight! GREETING {Gunfight in progress}Keep an eye out for more of them. GREETING This town don't look like much. GREETING Beats being in prison. GREETING I got dibs on the old doc's house. GREETING Need more women around here. GREETING Never liked Bighorners. GREETING {victory}Those townies put up a bigger fight than I expected. GREETING {victory}That was a hell of a gunfight. GREETING {victory}Nothing left to do but kick back and booze it up. GREETING {victory}You think any townies are hiding? GREETING {victory}I knew we were going to win all along. GREETING Welcome back. Can I get you anything? GREETING Hey there. If you want to buy something from my shop, you'll have to wait till it opens. GREETING Cant' do business now! There's a gunfight! GREETING You must be the one Doc Mitchell was patching up. The way I heard it, I didn't think you'd be walking out of that office. GREETING I've got plenty of supplies for sale. Even got some weapon mods and special ammo - well worth the caps, if you ask me. GREETING If you're hurting for caps, I've also got boxes of surplus ammo in the miscellaneous section. They're not great, but you get what you pay for. GREETING That was a hell of a fight. Let's hope it doesn't bite us in the ass later on. GREETING {Powder Ganger victory}I won't make any trouble for the gang. Just let me keep my store and I'll cut you a little discount. GREETING You looking to buy some supplies? GREETING I heard about what's been going on in town. Our deal's off. I can't trust someone like you to watch my back. GREETING Keep an eye out. I still think there's a few out there. GREETING That's close enough. Who are you, and what do you want with me? GREETING I owe you a huge favor for this. Here - these are technically Crimson Caravan funds, but I know they'll understand once I explain things. GREETING Thanks again for all your help. GREETING What's the plan? Are we ready? GREETING So, what's going on? Did Sunny agree to help us? GREETING What is it? GREETING That ought to keep things settled for awhile. Hope it stays that way. GREETING Howdy. What can Easy Pete do for you? GREETING Howdy. GREETING We can talk after this is over! GREETING Those bastards got Ringo in the end, after all. At least he went down fighting. GREETING {satisfaction}That'll teach the Powder Gangs to avoid Goodsprings in the future. GREETING Time to look alive. The Powder Gangers are here to play. GREETING I'll keep an eye out for the Powder Gangers and meet up with you and Ringo when the time comes. GREETING I don't think Joe Cobb knew what hit him. I'm hoping you took him down for a good reason and not... for fun. GREETING Cheyenne, stay. Don't worry, she won't bite unless I tell her to. GREETING Hi there. Sticking around Goodsprings for awhile longer? GREETING I expect you'll be wanting to go outside after being cooped up for so long, but if you have any questions, I'll answer what I can. GREETING Welcome back. I had hoped you wouldn't need to come see me again so soon. What can I do for you? GREETING How're you holding up? GREETING Howdy, pardner! Might I say, you're looking fit as a fiddle. GREETING Howdy, pardner! So, when do the rustlers show up? GREETING Howdy, pardner! GREETING Holy moly! If you hadn't come here like you done, I'd be a goner for sure. GREETING I came up here to draw water, but here, you should have what I got. You look thirsty. GREETING Thank you! GREETING Help me! GREETING Hello. I'm Rose of Sharon Cassidy. GREETING {Slightly bored}Caravan, citizen, pilgrim, or...? GREETING {Nods to player}Been doing a lot of good work out there, setting an example for the others - I know Ranger Jackson appreciates it. GREETING Back again, I see. Something you need? GREETING {Bad person just walked in}Got some nerve, coming to an NCR outpost with that look about you. {Low, warning}Hope you aren't here to trade, not sure you can afford the prices. GREETING {Mildly curious}New face in the Outpost, must've come from the North. {Frowns}So - what'll you have? GREETING Back round? Just my luck... what'll it be this time? GREETING Something else you needed? I'm short-handed here. GREETING Any luck up by the track? GREETING Welcome to the New Vegas Medical Clinic. I'm a fully qualified physician and can fix whatever is wrong with you for a reasonable fee. GREETING If you've got the caps, I've also got several implants available to enhance your physical attributes. GREETING You come to the wrong place, traveler. Primm's dying. If you got any sense, you'll be moving on. GREETING Quite a town we got here. Sheriff gets murdered, and Deputy Beagle dragged off for ransom to the Bison Steve. That should bring back the tourists. GREETING Rather be left alone to my misery, if you don't mind. GREETING Before the Powder Gangers came to town, Johnson Nash ran the local store and the Mojave Express station. GREETING I ain't got nothing for you to eat. If you're hungry, see Ruby Nash. GREETING Thanks for freeing the deputy. A bit, anyway. GREETING Thanks for freeing Deputy Beagle. He's better than nothing. Maybe. GREETING Now you freed Deputy Beagle, all Primm needs is a law man who can shoot a gun without wetting hisself. GREETING I hear you're going to help find Primm a new sheriff. Mighty kind of you to take an interest. GREETING So you're the one's going to bring the law back to Primm? I'll believe it when I see it. GREETING I hear you aim to bring rule of law back to our town. God knows we need the help. GREETING Thanks for bringing the NCR to town, stranger. Things're finally looking up for Primm. GREETING Thanks to you I got a mess of soldiers watching every move I make, plus I got to pay taxes for the privilege! GREETING Those soldiers you brought down on us is all business, stranger. Better than lawlessness, though. So you've got my thanks. GREETING This new Sheriff Meyers you brought to us is a lawman through and through. Primm's looking up, stranger. GREETING Thanks for convincing Meyers to come sheriff for us. First time I feel safe in a long time. GREETING This Sheriff Meyers you found for us is working out. Knows his business. We owe you a debt. GREETING Man, it is a real uphill fight these days. I'm not sure how we are going to handle all these convicts. GREETING If you got something to say, say it to the Lieutenant. GREETING Careful, things aren't as safe around here as they could be. GREETING You'll probably want to talk to Hayes. GREETING {Placeholder for Primm Trooper 01} GREETING {Gunfight in progress, not helping}Get away from me! I don't want to get shot! GREETING {Gunfight, helping}Careful! There's still more of them. GREETING {Gunfight, helping}Don't think this is over yet. GREETING Way too many strangers coming into town these days. No offense. GREETING If you're looking for supplies, Chet over at the general store can help you out. GREETING {Evil 2+}Why don't you just move on to another town? GREETING {Evil 2+}Just leave us alone. GREETING {Good 2+}We need more people like you around. GREETING {Mixed 2+}Bit of a troublemaker, aren't you? GREETING {Mixed 2+}Don't really care much for the unpredictable types. Just saying. GREETING That Doc Mitchell sure knows his stuff, doesn't he? GREETING {Powder Gang control}At least the Powder Gangers are letting me live. GREETING {Powder Gang control}I'm glad I didn't try to fight the gang. GREETING {Powder Gang control}Hell of way to repay Doc, if you ask me. GREETING {Powder Gang control}So many good people are dead... GREETING The recent disturbance at {beat, as though pasted in}the Tops {beat}has been resolved. Do not be afraid to patronize {beat}the Tops. GREETING The recent disturbance at {beat, as though pasted in}Gomorrah {beat}has been resolved. Do not be afraid to patronize {beat}Gomorrah. GREETING Be advised, the Lucky 38 is not open to the general public. Trespassers will be shot. Thank you. GREETING Do not be alarmed. We have been upgraded to serve you better. Have a nice day. GREETING Obituaries of the recently deceased Mr. House, President, CEO, and sole proprietor of the Vegas Strip, are still available. Just ask any Securitron. GREETING Be advised, Mr. House has voluntarily decided to become a citizen of the NCR. GREETING Sovereignty over the Vegas Strip will be transferred to the NCR at a date yet to be determined. Have a nice day. GREETING Be advised, when Mr. House transfers sovereignty over the Vegas Strip to the NCR, he will remain its sole proprietor. Have a nice day. GREETING The unfortunate incident involving the monorail from McCarran Airport is being resolved as quickly as possible. Thank you. GREETING Be sure to offer words of encouragement to NCR men and women in uniform. Vegas appreciates their business. GREETING Be advised, NCR President Aaron Kimball survived an assassination attempt at Hoover Dam. GREETING Just one more reason to celebrate at one of New Vegas's fine casinos! Thank you. GREETING Be advised, NCR President Aaron Kimball was struck down in a cowardly attack at Hoover Dam. GREETING The Strip offers many fine cocktail lounges where grieving persons may drown their sorrows. GREETING Welcome to Vegas, capital of the sixth state of the New California Republic! GREETING True to {KAI-zar}Caesar. GREETING Welcome to New Vegas, where a new day is dawning! GREETING Welcome to Vegas. Don't make trouble. GREETING Welcome to the Vegas Strip. GREETING Enjoy all the Vegas Strip has to offer. GREETING Enjoy your time on the Vegas Strip. GREETING Always a pleasure. GREETING Good to see you. GREETING {upbeat}Hello, again. GREETING {upbeat}Hey, look who's here! GREETING {upbeat}If it isn't our favorite V.I.P.! GREETING {upbeat}You're always welcome in this town! GREETING Try to control your behavior today. GREETING I'm hoping this is one of your good days. GREETING Vegas doesn't need your trouble. GREETING Who knows what you're going to do next? GREETING I bet you're up to something. GREETING I don't like the look of you. Never have. GREETING Don't think we aren't watching you. GREETING You've got a reputation in this town, and it isn't a good one. GREETING Don't bother to watch yourself. We're watching for you. GREETING Come on, tough guy/gal - give me a reason. GREETING Take your best shot. Then we'll take ours. GREETING You're bad for Vegas. You don't belong here. GREETING Goodbye. GREETING Have a nice day. GREETING Enjoy your time in Vegas. GREETING Be advised, visitors will be held responsible for the behavior of any robots accompanying them. GREETING Be advised, visitors will be held responsible for the behavior of any {disapproving}non-human sapients accompanying them. GREETING I'd remember if I had seen you here before, I'm sure of it... {pauses as if thinking anyway GREETING Welcome back, stranger. GREETING Thank you! They were going to kill me! GREETING Don't worry, I'll stay out of trouble from now on. Honest. GREETING Yeah? GREETING No offense, but I need to focus on getting more rest when I'm off duty. I'm not sleeping so good. So now's not a good time. GREETING If you want to talk, catch me when I'm on duty. I'm up in the dinosaur after 9 pm. GREETING Nice of you to show up. GREETING Is it time? GREETING Let's get out of this first. GREETING We take this boat, it's probably the last one we ever take. GREETING I'm ready for that. Are you? GREETING We're near a Legion slave camp now. I've... been here before. GREETING Let's get one thing straight. I see any crimson, I'm taking the shot. You don't like that, you're on your own. GREETING We're getting close to Nelson. Any closer, I'm shooting any legionary I see. Hope that's not a problem. GREETING Huh. We made it through after all. Not sure what to make of that. GREETING Mercy killing is expected of NCR snipers. The Legion likes to torture their prisoners within sight of NCR positions. GREETING We get called on to end it. I've had my share. Some of them, you think, maybe you could've gotten them out. GREETING Maybe it's not the Legion that got them killed. Maybe it's your orders and you following them. GREETING Caesar's dead. Bet he didn't see this coming when he was having his coffee this morning. GREETING Still. It's not gonna stop the Legion. Might not even slow them down. GREETING Pisses me off that Legion slavers can just operate on NCR turf like that. GREETING If we hadn't caught up to them they'd probably have had a clear path to the river. No one to stop them. GREETING There should be patrols. Checkpoints. We got greedy, overstretched. Now our own territory isn't secure. GREETING Something's wrong. Got a group coming our way. Looks like a Legion raiding party. It's big. GREETING Might be too big. Even for us. GREETING If you want out I won't blame you. But I'm going to stay. See if I can hold them off. GREETING Hey. I thought some more about what you said. I think maybe you're right. Maybe I should go to Bitter Springs. GREETING I don't know what I'm hoping to find there. GREETING Hey. I want to thank you for bringing me to Bitter Springs. Things seem... clearer now. GREETING We should get to the Hoover Dam. I don't want to miss this. GREETING That guy Benny was a piece of work. GREETING A face-to-face meeting with House, huh? The NCR would kill to be in your shoes. GREETING Sounds like it's gonna be an all-out war with the Legion soon. Maybe I should've re-enlisted after all. GREETING What is it? GREETING I've been sent to take you back to the Lucky 38. Are you ready to go? GREETING {Big Winner}Baby, Lady Luck must be smiling at you today! Compliments of the Tops Casino, enjoy this fine meal and please, keep playing those games! GREETING {Whale}You've been good to us, baby - now let us be good to you. We'd like you to enjoy this private suite as long as you're in town. GREETING {Banned}Okay, pal, you've had enough. Time for you to leave. GREETING You better get moving kid, there's bad guys to kill. GREETING {at Bunker - no plan}Kreger's the officer here, not me. The final say on the plan is up to him. GREETING {At Bunker, Moreno dead}Moreno and I never did get along. Still, he was a fellow soldier from the old days. GREETING {at Bunker, helping NCR}The NCR's the best bet for the wasteland. I'm glad we'll be helping them out. GREETING {Remnants helping Legion}I'm not helping the Legion, no matter how much you talk them up. I will help my friends prepare, but that's it. GREETING Well, it's about about damn time. What took you... oh. GREETING What brings you around this time? GREETING Let's get going, we have a battle to win. GREETING You don't strike me as someone down on their luck. What brings you to Westside? GREETING {At Bunker}Glad to see you made it here all right. So, who are we going up against? GREETING {At Bunker}Still waiting on that decision... GREETING {Player killed Moreno}{quiet regret}We saw everything through the security monitor. I had no idea Moreno would ever pull something like that. GREETING By rights, Moreno's Power Armor now belongs to you. Whitman's volunteered to show you how to use it, so talk to her as soon as you can. GREETING {Moreno convinced to stay}Moreno's a stubborn son of a bitch, but he's also tougher than any of us. I'm glad you were able to talk him into staying. GREETING Since Whitman will be staying with the vertibird, she's offered to give her old suit of Power Armor to you. GREETING You'll need special training to use it properly, so talk to her as soon as you get the chance. GREETING {Remnants helping NCR or Legion}We'll be ready, don't worry. GREETING Sticking around for the attractions? GREETING {at Bunker - no plan}We're all here. Talk to Kreger about what you've got in mind. GREETING {At Bunker, Moreno dead}If I had any idea Moreno was capable of doing something that, I'd have warned you. I'm sorry it played out like this. GREETING {At Bunker, helping NCR}The NCR's got its share of warts, but I'd rather have them around than the Legion. GREETING {At Bunker, helping Legion}I'm not sure if helping the Legion is the right idea. But, I'm going along with it. GREETING {At Hoover Dam battle}Keep your head down - could be snipers around. GREETING I assume this is about something important? You're interrupting my research. GREETING The equipment is hooked up and ready. We can start the test as soon as you give me the go ahead. GREETING {somewhat irritated and impatient}Again you interrupt me. Why? GREETING Is there something else I can do for you? GREETING {at Bunker - no plan}What are you talking to me for? Talk to Kreger. GREETING {At Hoover Dam battle}Now is {emphasis not"}not the time!" GREETING {Player not in NCR gear}Bah. Looks like I forgot to lock the doors again. If you're with the NCR, get out. This place is mine, and I'm not leaving. GREETING {Player in NCR gear}Look, trooper, I was living in this house long before your farms got set up. {threat}Don't even think about evicting me. GREETING {Remnants helping NCR}I didn't come all the way out here just so we could save the fucking NCR. I'm out. GREETING {Moreno convinced to stay}I can't believe I'm going to help the NCR. GREETING {Remnants helping Legion}Since Johnson won't be coming with us, you might as well take his suit of Power Armor. I'll teach you the basics of how to use it. GREETING {terse}Yeah? GREETING {at Bunker - no plan}I'm ready to fly once we've got a plan. Talk to Judah. GREETING {Moreno killed at Bunker}{talking about a dead friend}Damn it, Orion. Why did you have to go and do something like that? GREETING {Moreno killed at Bunker}Orion always did have a temper, but it was pretty low of him to ambush you like that. GREETING {Moreno convinced to stay}I appreciate you keeping Orion in the group. Since I won't be needing my armor - makes the cockpit a bit cramped - you should take it. GREETING It'll take a few hours to show you how to use it properly, so let's get started. GREETING {at Bunker, helping NCR}I'd love to see the look on the NCR's face when I swoop down in my chopper. GREETING {at Bunker, helping Legion}I heard the Legion doesn't care for women, but as long as they stay out of my way, I'll get along just fine with them. GREETING Fine weather for flying. It's times like these that make me miss it all. GREETING Your travels been going all right? GREETING I'm occupied at the moment. Come see me when I'm on the balcony. GREETING Back west, you don't see too many of these. Lakes, I mean. Natural or man-made. Any kind, really. GREETING We neglected the dams or pumped all the water out a long time ago. Owens, Isabella, the San Luis. Drained the aquifers of everything they had. GREETING Just a lot of mud and dust now. It's a different feeling, watching the sun come up over the water. Takes some getting used to. GREETING But if you're here long enough, it starts to seem normal. That's what a ranger's life is now. Looking east. GREETING You've come back to see the chief. Nice of you to humor the radio tender. What can I do for you? GREETING Like I said, I won't run out on you, but I can't let my people get dragged through the mud for this. GREETING You did good and you did it well. Work a ranger would be proud of. I'll handle the rest from here. GREETING You looking to take the test again? GREETING Hello, don't think I've seen your face before. Are you a citizen of the NCR? GREETING Hello again. We spoke briefly before, but remind me, are you a citizen of the NCR? GREETING Hey there. We hope to see you by the train station one of these nights. GREETING Ah, you're back. Did you want to take that test again now? GREETING You look like a person in need of a good meal. You wouldn't happen to be an NCR citizen, would you? GREETING That meal's still available, but only to NCR citizens. You are an NCR citizen, aren't you? GREETING I've held up my end. You tell the King that I'm willing to listen to him. GREETING This isn't really a good time. What did you want? GREETING Welcome. There's food and water here for any citizen of the NCR. Please, have some. GREETING Yes, was there something else you needed? GREETING {Radio}
GREETING I'll meet you on the observation deck. GREETING What do you want? GREETING You again. What is it? GREETING We've got a lot to do to prepare for the President's visit and not much time. GREETING Have you finished your security sweep? GREETING Come back in a minute, I'm busy with security matters. GREETING Shouldn't you be keeping an eye out for anything suspicious? GREETING Good job today. We got the President out safe and sound and I couldn't have done it without you. You have my thanks. GREETING Damnit! I can't believe the President is dead. It's all my fault! GREETING
GREETING Hey, I heard about you. What can I do for you, friend? GREETING {gruff}What is it? GREETING
GREETING Is there a problem here? GREETING You again. What's your problem? GREETING Do you mind? GREETING
GREETING
GREETING You're cleared to go on through. GREETING No one can go upstairs without authorization. GREETING
GREETING {Condescending}Didn't expect Caesar to send a woman to do this job. GREETING Oh well, at least you're here now. {Joking}I was starting to get lonely out here by myself. GREETING It's about time you showed up. GREETING {Joking}I was starting to get lonely out here by myself. GREETING Make it quick. We don't have much time. GREETING What is it? GREETING
GREETING I still haven't found my lucky helmet yet. GREETING Thanks for finding my lucky helmet. It's my favorite! GREETING Hey-o! GREETING
GREETING What are you doing up here? GREETING Kind of busy up here. GREETING
GREETING Hey, you haven't seen my friend around here, have you? His name is Ben and he's an engineer. GREETING We were supposed to meet up so we can watch the President's speech together, but he hasn't shown up yet. GREETING Leave me alone. GREETING Still no luck finding my friend. He better show up soon. GREETING Do you mind? GREETING We're a bit busy here. GREETING Why don't you mind your own business. GREETING Managing security on short notice is going to be tough. We'll have to keep the crowd small for the speech. GREETING It's unlikely that the Legion will try anything, but we'll be prepared for it anyway. GREETING We'll keep civilian presence to a minimum. That should avoid any unnecessary risks. GREETING What the fuck just happened? GREETING What is going on? GREETING Quiet, I'm trying to listen to the speech. GREETING Shh! I want to hear what is going on. GREETING Leave me alone, I'm trying to pay attention. GREETING I'm so excited about he President visiting. This is going to be great! GREETING I'm looking forward to seeing the President. GREETING I'm just glad to have the day off for this. GREETING I wonder what President Kimball is going to talk about today. GREETING That was a great speech. GREETING That's a nice suit President Kimball had. GREETING I don't have time to talk right now. GREETING We need to keep an eye out for anything suspicious. GREETING Nothing is going to happen to the President on my watch. GREETING Move along. GREETING You really saved our asses out there against the Legion. Thanks. GREETING I can't believe that President Kimball was attacked. I'm just relieved that nothing bad happened to him. GREETING I can't believe President Kimball is dead. He was a great leader for the NCR. GREETING So you're the one that has been running errands for Colonel Moore. Do you need something? GREETING {Happy}Well look who it is! What can I do for you? GREETING Always nice to have a friend of the NCR around. What can I help you with? GREETING You better watch yourself around here. I'm not going to put up with any of your crazy shit. GREETING {Wary}Something you need? GREETING You've got a lot of nerves being here. Maybe you should just leave instead. GREETING {Gruff}What do you want? GREETING I don't think you're in the right place. You looking for something? GREETING Is there something I can do for you? GREETING
GREETING {Threatening}Back off. GREETING {Threatening}Watch it. GREETING {FIRST, BUNKER, BENNY DEAD CASINO}I do wish you'd come and met with me at the Lucky 38 when you first arrived on the Strip. Or after you killed Benny, even. GREETING {FIRST, BUNKER}Quite an honor you spurned, my invite. You would be the first person to set foot inside the Lucky 38 in over 200 years. GREETING {sigh of pique}But... you still wound up here, right where I wanted you. {self-satisfied}I knew I could rely on Caesar to return the Platinum Chip to you. GREETING {Male PC}If you're injured, I might have healing powder to spare. GREETING {Female PC - surprise, tinged with envy}A free woman. It's... been awhile since I've seen a woman who wasn't a slave. {forget" as in she's a slave who's forgotten her position GREETING {Caesar dead}With {KAI-zar}Caesar dead, I'm afraid for the women. The Legate is a brutal man, and he enjoys inflicting pain. GREETING {Caeser cured}{wistful}I had hoped to become a great doctor like you someday. GREETING You got Melody her bear back. Very kind of you. GREETING Yes? GREETING So you're the visitor I've heard some of the Legionaries talking about. If you're in the mood to trade, just say the word. GREETING {Caesar dead}I've heard some bad stories about this Legate. I'm not sure I'll be welcome around here once he takes charge. GREETING {Caesar cured}Never had you pegged as the doctor-type. Guess I know who to come to now when I get sick. GREETING Howdy again. GREETING {KAI-zar}Caesar awaits. You can speak with me later. GREETING {Caesar dead during surgery}{controlled white-hot anger}{KAI-zar}Caesar is dead at your hands. This crime cannot go unpunished. GREETING {Caesar died via Auto-Doc}{confused, angry}I don't understand - the machine was supposed to cure {KAI-zar}Caesar. {growing anger, blaming player}You did this - his blood is own your hands. GREETING {Caesar dead during surgery, Player incompetent}Your butchery of {KAI-zar}Caesar will not go unpunished! GREETING {Caesar cured}{admiring}{KAI-zar}Caesar was right to put his trust in you. Your skill in medicine is beyond anything I've ever seen before. GREETING {Caesar has fallen into a coma}{KAI-zar}Caesar sleeps but doesn't awaken. I fear it is only a matter of days before death claims him. GREETING You will answer to me until such a time as {KAI-zar}Caesar is able to resume leadership. GREETING It's a great honor for anyone outside the Legion to get an audience with Caesar. GREETING {Liked, once only}You've proven yourself to be true friend of the Legion. We have a safehouse available to our agents in the Mojave - here's the key. GREETING It's an excellent place to rest and store extra equipment. In addition, one of our veterans, Atticus, visits the house every few days. GREETING While he's there, you can acquire items useful for stealthy operations against our enemies from him. GREETING {terse military manner}Yes? Do you have something to report? GREETING Outsiders are a rare sight at the Fort. Step carefully around here and you might just leave alive. I'm Antony, master of the hounds. GREETING {Killed the mongrels in the arena}Damn it. I thought they had you. GREETING {Caesar dead}It'll be strange not having {KAI-zar}Caesar in command, but Legate Lanius is a strong leader. GREETING {Caesar cured}I'm sure you had to use a lot of healing powder on {KAI-zar}Caesar. Well done. GREETING {Rex hired}The mechanical dog you have with you - where did you get it? GREETING What? GREETING {Male PC}You here to fight in the arena? Then you're talking to the right man. GREETING {Female PC}What do you want from me, woman? I'm in charge of the arena, not the cooking pots. GREETING As expected, it wasn't much of a fight, but what can you expect from slaves? GREETING A good fight. Some NCR troopers can be competent fighters. GREETING Unbelievable. You stood against a Ranger in single combat and survived. GREETING {Caesar dead}{KAI-zar}Caesar was a great man, but the Legion will become even greater with Legate Lanius at its head. GREETING {Caesar cured, Male PC}You've done the Legion a great service by healing whatever was wrong with {KAI-zar}Caesar. GREETING {Caesar cured, Female PC}{contempt}A woman actually proved useful for once. {KAI-zar}Caesar was bold to put his life in your hands. GREETING What do you need from me? GREETING {quiet, shy - nervous young girl}I can't talk to you. It's not allowed. GREETING {Player destroyed Sergeant Teddy}{tearful}I don't want to talk to you! I hate you! GREETING {brightening up - she's seeing a friend}Hi! GREETING {quiet, shy - nervous young girl}I'm still not allowed to talk to you. GREETING Caesar awaits you. We can talk afterwards. GREETING I suspect you'll be a valuable asset to the Legion - assuming you're really on our side, of course. GREETING {Caesar dead}This is a moment I'd hoped would not come for many years. {KAI-zar's}Caesar's death puts the Legate {Lah-nee-OOS}Lanius in command now. GREETING {Caeser cured}I'm pleased that you were able to cure {KAI-zar's}Caesar's malady. Though the Legate is a fine leader, we yet need the wisdom of {KAI-zar}Caesar to guide the Legion. GREETING Was there more for us to discuss? GREETING {agonized sobbing}Mercy... GREETING {Strip, High Rep}The eyes of the mighty{KAI-zar} Caesar are upon you. He appreciates your service, and bestows upon you the exceptional gift of his Mark. GREETING My Lord requires your presence at his camp, at Fortification Hill. His Mark will guarantee your safe-conduct through our lands. GREETING {Strip}The eyes of the mighty {KAI-zar}Caesar are upon you. He admires your accomplishments, and bestows upon you the exceptional gift of his Mark. GREETING Any crimes you may have perpetrated against the Legion are hereby forgiven. {KAI-zar}Caesar will not extend this mercy a second time. GREETING My Lord requires your presence at his camp, at Fortification Hill. His Mark will guarantee your safe-conduct through our lands. GREETING {enticing}Incidentally, it will interest you to know that the man you seek has fled the Strip, and is likely making haste for {KAI-zar's}Caesar's camp as we speak. GREETING {Strip}{KAI-zar}Caesar awaits. GREETING Don't bother me - I'm training to become a full Legionary! GREETING One day I'll be part of the Praetorian Guard, you'll see. GREETING I can't wait until they let me fight. GREETING {with pride}I'm harsh on the children, but they'll be excellent Legionaries. I'm quite proud of them. GREETING {Strip}The eyes of the mighty {KAI-zar}Caesar are upon you. He admires your accomplishments, and bestows upon you the exceptional gift of his Mark. GREETING Your crimes against the Legion, including the death of the fearless {WUHL-pace In-CUHL-tah}Vulpes Inculta, are hereby forgiven. {KAI-zar}Caesar will not extend this mercy again. GREETING My Lord requires your presence at his camp, at Fortification Hill. His Mark will guarantee your safe-conduct through our lands. GREETING {Strip}Incidentally, it will interest you to know that the man you seek has fled the Strip, and is likely making haste for Caesar's camp as we speak. GREETING {KAI-zar}Caesar awaits. GREETING {KAI-zar}Caesar has permitted your weapons to be returned to you while you serve him. GREETING You've carried out {KAI-zar's}Caesar's will, but I must confiscate your equipment again. GREETING Are you ready to proceed into the underground vault? GREETING {KAI-zar}Caesar has forbidden you to leave until you�ve carried out his will in the great underground vault. GREETING You may go. GREETING None may enter without {KAI-zar's}Caesar's permission. GREETING {Mixed 2+}The Legion is aware of your mercenary ways and has decided to encourage you work for us rather than against us. GREETING I've provided you the location of a drop box. Every few days, we'll place Legion coin inside. GREETING {Good 2+}Though you aren't of the Legion, you've aided us more than once. We acquire many items on our raids, some useless to us, some forbidden. GREETING I've provided you the location of a drop box where you can obtain these items. The box will be replenished every few days. GREETING Please be aware that we'll assume any items left in the box will be unwanted and be removed and destroyed. GREETING My message to you has been delivered, and I've got other places to be. GREETING {Player has a companion}You must enter {KAI-zar's}Caesar's tent alone. Anyone else must remain outside. GREETING Here - these are the supplies I've acquired for you. GREETING I'll be back in a few days with more supplies. See you then. GREETING Under penalty of death, the prisoner is forbidden to speak with you until {KAI-zar}Caesar has permitted it. GREETING {Caesar mentioned illness - Lucius promises vengeance}{KAI-zar}Caesar didn't become sick until he started dealing with you. If this was all some trick to assassinate him, we {emph will"}will have revenge." GREETING {Caesar in coma}{KAI-zar}Caesar is near death. Have you brought the means to cure him? GREETING Are you the Van Graffs' emissary? GREETING What can I do for you? GREETING May I help you? GREETING
GREETING Welcome to the NCR Embassy, how can I help you? GREETING I'm kind of busy, what do you want? GREETING Welcome back. What can I do for you this time? GREETING If you're looking for Ambassador Crocker, he's not here. He was removed form office and sent home. GREETING I guess they disagreed with how he handled some of the events out here. It's unfortunate. He was a good man. GREETING
GREETING So you're the one that saved President Kimball. Damn glad to have you on our side. GREETING What can I help you with? GREETING I heard there was an attempt on President Kimball's life. I'm glad he's alright. Don't know what the NCR would do without him. GREETING I've had to increase security around the Strip due to the President's assassination. I can barely believe he's dead myself. GREETING So you're the one causing all the ruckus at The Tops. You're lucky you're not under my jurisdiction or I'd have tossed you in a cell for that. GREETING I heard you killed Benny over at The Tops. I bet you think you're some sort of tough guy. GREETING A piece of advice, if you mess with any of my men, you'll regret it. GREETING I heard you killed Benny over at The Tops. I bet you think you're some sort of tough cookie. GREETING A piece of advice, if you mess with any of my men, you'll regret it. GREETING I wanted to thank you for stopping the Omertas. That could have gone poorly for us if it wasn't for you. GREETING I hear you've been meeting with Mr. House in the Lucky 38. I bet you think you're pretty special, don't you? GREETING Special or not, stay out of trouble and more importantly stay out of my way. GREETING What the hell is with those Securitrons? Looks like they got some sort of change or upgrade. I don't like the look of this. GREETING I heard Mr. House is out of the picture now. Guess that leaves us in charge of the Strip. GREETING Make it quick, I've got a shitstorm to deal with due to the damn monorail being blown up. GREETING So you're the one running errands for Ambassador Crocker. I don't want to know details, just don't cause any trouble. GREETING Keep your nose clean on the strip, soldier. GREETING {Surprised, Happy}Wow, I didn't expect to see you here. What can I do for you? GREETING Good to see you around here. What can I do for you? GREETING {Threatening}You make one wrong move around here and I'll be all over you in a heartbeat. You hear me? GREETING {Threatening}You better watch yourself around here. GREETING You've got a lot of nerve showing your face around here. You're lucky I don't shoot you right now. GREETING You better have a good reason for being here. GREETING So you're the new hotshot on the Strip. Just because you can walk around on the Strip with your guns doesn't make you a big shot. GREETING You make any trouble for me or my men and I'll make sure you regret if for a very long time. You got that? GREETING Now are you here for something or are you just wasting my time? GREETING Make it quick. GREETING
GREETING Didn't you save President Kimball? You're my new hero! GREETING What can I do for you, friend? GREETING I heard President Kimball was attacked at Hoover Dam. I can barely believe it. GREETING I'm just glad nothing bad happened to him. GREETING Some bastards killed President Kimball. Who's going to lead the NCR now? GREETING Aren't you the guy that was shooting up The Tops? GREETING Guess you must have some special deal with House to be able to do that and not get in trouble. GREETING Aren't you the gal that was shooting up The Tops? GREETING Guess you must have some special deal with House to be able to do that and not get in trouble. GREETING I heard you snuffed that Benny guy. Good riddance, guy was a scumbag. GREETING I heard you stopped the Omertas plan to attack the Strip. Good job, you're a real hero. GREETING So you're the one that went into the Lucky 38. I bet that was pretty creepy. GREETING What can I do for you? GREETING I thought those Securitrons were creepy enough already. Now, they have soldier faces on them, that's even creepier. GREETING Holy shit, did you here about the Monorail being destroyed? How the fuck did that happen? GREETING I'm just glad to be safe over here on the Strip. GREETING If it isn't the Ambassador's new best friend. What can I do for you? GREETING I can't believe it's gone. It's all gone. How the fuck did this happen? GREETING Hey, you just get in for some R&R? GREETING Well look who it is! Glad to have you here, buddy! What can I do for you? GREETING Wow, look who it is! What can I help you with? GREETING I don't want any trouble, mister. What do you want? GREETING I don't want any trouble, lady. What do you want? GREETING I probably shouldn't be talking to you, but what do you want? GREETING {Hostile}You're the last person I expected to see here. What do you want? GREETING {Hostile}What do you want? GREETING Hey, stranger. What's happening? GREETING What's going on? GREETING
GREETING Hello again. Feeling thirsty? GREETING Howdy! Interested in a refreshing beverage or a tasty snack? GREETING Greetings, citizen. GREETING What is it, citizen? GREETING Observe the rules, citizen. GREETING Indulge responsibly, citizen. GREETING Self-control is a virtue, citizen. GREETING
GREETING Don't miss The Lonesome Drifter, LIVE at the Aces Theater! GREETING Songs so sad and lonesome, audience members of the opposite sex will be fighting over who gets to go back to your room with you - guaranteed! GREETING Ready to tap your toes and snap your fingers? Don't miss Bruce Issac, LIVE at the Ace Theater! GREETING {cheerfully obnoxious}Hey GREETING Everyone loves a good insult, am I right? So you'll love Hadrian, LIVE at the Aces Theater! GREETING Fuck off GREETING Pull my finger GREETING See Billy Knight, King of the One-Liners - LIVE at the Aces Theater! If you miss it, you'll Take your life GREETING I bet you could stop gambling!" {laugh}See Billy Knight GREETING Hey, baby. There's more of this waiting for you inside. GREETING You like it, huh? GREETING Check my moves, honey. GREETING I like what I see... GREETING Dancing makes me sweat... all over. GREETING Honey, what's your name? GREETING Ah, hello. I trust you have something to report concerning the Freeside situation? GREETING Something I can help you with, soldier? GREETING It's good to see such an outstanding hero of the NCR. What can I do for you, my friend? GREETING It's good to have a friend of the NCR here. What can I do for you? GREETING Well, if it isn't the loose cannon that's been wandering the Mojave Wasteland. What do you want? GREETING I didn't expect to see you here. I hope you're not here to cause trouble. GREETING You're the last person I expected to see here. This better be good. GREETING {Angry}What do you want? GREETING Greetings, friend. Something I can help you with? GREETING Hello again. What can I do for you this time? GREETING I don't have anything more to say to you. You can show yourself out. GREETING
GREETING Can I help you? GREETING
GREETING I bet it feels real nice to be carrying those weapons around on the strip. GREETING That damn Mr. House has forbid any NCR military personnel from carrying any sort of firearms on the Strip. Well, except for Captain Pappas. GREETING Mr. House still doesn't trust the NCR. A word of advice, the Securitrons won't put up with any funny stuff out there, so don't do anything stupid. GREETING This your first time on the Strip? GREETING Hello. Do you need something? GREETING
GREETING Welcome back, friend! How can I help you? GREETING Hey, as long as you behave I'll deal with you. Okay? GREETING I don't deal with unwanted people. Leave me alone. GREETING What do you want? GREETING How can I help you? GREETING Good to see you again! GREETING This had better be good. You have a lot to answer for. GREETING What can the Followers of the Apocalypse do for you today? GREETING Don't talk to me, rookie! GREETING They're all dead. Guy must've had some kind of explosive on him, set off all the ordinance in this place at once. GREETING Congratulations, rookie. You just cost me my job. Don't think I don't appreciate it. GREETING I was just telling Gloria about your performance. Hell of a first day, huh? GREETING Welcome to the Silver Rush, New Vegas's best- ah, I'm just kidding. Go on in. GREETING Welcome to the Silv- ah crap, don't tell me you're my new guard. GREETING Okay, now let's get you geared up. First, your armor. GREETING Standard issue is your run-of-the-mill combat armor, with a nice dark coat of paint for both brand recognition and sheer intimidation value. GREETING Next, your weapon. Guards are required to use rifles. Anything lighter compromises your combat effectiveness. GREETING Anything heavier and people are too scared to come in the door. What's your preference, laser or plasma? GREETING Welcome to the Silver Rush, New Vegas's best source of laser and plasma weapons. GREETING I'm not paid to talk to customers. GREETING You really don't want to start trouble in here. GREETING We're all going to be rich soon. You watch. GREETING One wrong move and you're ash, pal. GREETING You want to chat, talk to the owners. GREETING Good job. I need to work out some last minute details with our new clients, but after that we'll head back to the Rush. GREETING No time to talk. We have to finish these bastards off! GREETING Good, you're here. Do you remember that package I had you deliver? Well, the client liked the sample and put in a massive order. GREETING It's possibly the biggest order we've ever supplied. I've had to repeatedly assure my mother that everything will go smoothly. GREETING And that's where I'm hoping you'll come in. We'll be bringing an escort, and I want you on it. What do you say? GREETING Simon's been telling me how it went. Let's do a quick recap. GREETING Welcome back. Did you have news for me, or are you just here for the guns? GREETING Welcome back. I hope you've been working on that task Jean-Baptiste had for you. My brother is not a patient man by any means. GREETING Welcome to the Silver Rush, where only top of the line energy weapons can be found. What can I do for you? GREETING { Holder node for Gloria's top level topics } GREETING Well, looks like you came through after all. She's not half bad looking, is she? It's almost a shame... GREETING Crimson Caravan and Van Graffs won't need to worry about you anymore, Mojave's ours, we're shutting you down for good. GREETING {Laughs}That was fun. Did you see the look on that bitch's face? {Laughs again}Priceless. GREETING As I live and breathe, Rose of Sharon Cassidy. The {emph}late Rose of Sharon Cassidy. Was hoping you were on that caravan I massacred, but... GREETING Crimson Caravan and Van Graffs won't need to worry about you anymore, Mojave's ours, and we're shutting you down for good. GREETING Hey, how's it going? You find that bitch yet or not? GREETING Ah, just the person I was looking for. Your name came up in a discussion we had recently. GREETING My sister is very impressed with you so far, but I'm not. I don't think you have what it takes to work for this family. GREETING Luckily for you, I'm going to give you the chance to prove me wrong. What do you say? Want to make some real money? GREETING What the fuck do you want? I've got no use for fucking cowards. GREETING Glory's the one you want to talk to about working for us. I just handle the details. GREETING Eh? You want something? GREETING Get the fuck away from me. The last man who bothered me volunteered" to help test our weapons." GREETING Don't hurry me. I'm trying to get your stuff ready. GREETING My favorite employee returns! What can I do for you? GREETING {drunk, slurs everything}Hi there! Is this where I can pick up a {lay-shur}laser gun? GREETING Is that it? Can I go in now? GREETING Howdy! I just done broke the bank over at the Wrangler there and thought I might peruse your fine wares, maybe lighten my purse a little. GREETING Uh, hi. I was, um, in the area and thought I'd stop by to look at your weapons. Can I go in? GREETING Hey, lookin' for something to replace my old revolver. Mind if I head in? GREETING We've already concluded our business. I suggest you return to your employers. GREETING You hear there was some kinda shoot-out at one of them casinos on the Strip? Some people got killed or something. GREETING They say those robots on the Strip are running around with different faces or something. Don't ask, {cuz}because I don't know... GREETING Those robots on the Strip, Securi-troids or what have you? Well, they been acting different or something. GREETING The same robots on the Strip, I seen one or two of them roll past town time to time. Well, the face on {'em}them looked meaner. GREETING Usually I don't talk to nobody but robots. But lately some of them been two-faced. GREETING A customer who been to the Strip told me the faces on the robots there changed from police to soldiers. Now why would that be? GREETING That Mr. House who lorded over the Strip is dead. Good riddance, I say. GREETING Now that Mr. House's gone, might be opportunities on the Strip for an enterprising merchant. GREETING I bet that Mr. House had a buncha booze in his place. Someone oughta get it out of there. He ain't using it! GREETING If Caesar's dead, why ain't the NCR taking care of regular folks yet? GREETING You hear Caesar's dead? Good for trade if the Legion goes away, that's for sure. GREETING I heard Caesar didn't let nobody drink or drug. Probably why he got killed. GREETING Who cares if Caesar's dead? Don't affect our town one bit. GREETING If the NCR ain't got to worry about Caesar no more, it should worry about improving the lives of regular folks around here. GREETING So much for the might of the NCR! Their President got killed over at Hoover Dam! GREETING You hear how the President of the NCR got killed? Gonna be hard to score chems around here for a while... GREETING Someone tried to kill the NCR President over at Hoover Dam. They say it was Legion. GREETING How's the NCR gonna protect Vegas if it can't even protect its own President? GREETING The NCR's top Ranger, Chief Hanlon, put a gun in his mouth. Think he would've done that if the NCR stood a chance at beating the Legion? GREETING Turns out the NCR's top Ranger was a traitor! If the Legion can turn a man like Hanlon, what chance has the NCR got? GREETING You hear the Legion attacked Bitter Springs? Didn't know there was anything left there to attack. GREETING Those Fiend junkies over at Vault 3 been taking some hits. I say kill them all. GREETING With fewer of them Fiends sucking up the chems, maybe I can finally score a hit now and then. GREETING With those Fiends on the run, I should head over to Vault 3 and see if I can pull some salvage out of there. GREETING The Great Khans signing a treaty with the NCR? I never woulda seen that coming. GREETING Have you seen that tower on the Strip all lit up? You can see it for miles! GREETING The Great Khans up and left Red Rock Canyon. Who's gonna brew fresh chems now? GREETING I hear the Great Khans got massacred again. No survivors this time, though. GREETING They say the Kings got massacred. Who's gonna watch over Freeside now? GREETING The NCR took back Nelson. Maybe they can win this war after all. GREETING First the Legion takes Nelson, then it wipes out Camp Forlorn Hope. The NCR don't stand a chance. GREETING There was some kind of massacre at one of the Ranger Stations. I don't know which one. GREETING Some Khans got cornered in the ruins of Boulder City, but the NCR let them go. That's unusual. GREETING Primm has a new Sheriff. That should keep the Powder Gangers away. GREETING Primm wimped out and accepted NCR rule. Some people will do anything to feel safe. GREETING Looks like the war's ratcheting up. I hear the NCR's bringing in elite troops. GREETING They say the Legion's bringing in Veterans from out in Arizona. They must be getting ready to attack. GREETING You ever seen one of those Rangers in black armor? I wouldn't want to make one of those mad! GREETING You ever seen one of those Rangers in black armor? I wouldn't want to make one of those mad! GREETING I hear reports of Legion raiding parties all over the place. They can't all be rumors! GREETING I keep hearing about some courier making a fuss over at the Strip. Must've delivered more than just mail. GREETING Mark my words - won't be long before the Legion and NCR butt heads over Hoover Dam. GREETING Nobody knows who's gonna win, Legion or NCR. Might not make much of a difference around here. GREETING That tower on the Strip's lit up night and day now! What's it mean? GREETING Goddamn that Mr. House for selling Vegas out to the NCR! The whole Mojave will have to join up. GREETING Howdy. GREETING Hey there. GREETING Oh, you here to work? I think I have an extra shovel around here somewhere. GREETING Sorry, I don't have time to talk right now. Talk to Trent, he might be able to help you out. GREETING Greetings! {Slight Pause}Pardon my enthusiasm. I'm not accustomed to meeting so many new people, but I find you fascinating. GREETING I've tried to learn as much as possible about the surface world since our community left our home. GREETING Hello again, outlander. GREETING {Dumbfounded}Why are the outlanders killing each other? Why do they treat us like machines?{Lamenting his fate} I wish we had remained in the safety, and sanity, of our Vault. GREETING Hello, outlander. GREETING It's good making your acquaintance. GREETING Excuse me, I'm{dubitative}... not from around here. GREETING Horowitz is our leader. GREETING {Emotional to meet savior}You're the one who saved us! Thank you. GREETING {Complicit and congratulatory}I heard you talking to Horowitz, and can't thank you enough for what you've done for us. GREETING {Emotional to meet savior}I hope everyone on the surface is like you. GREETING {Sincere thankfulness}We're in your debt. Thank you, outlander. GREETING {Lamenting fate}I wish we were back at our Vault. GREETING {Lamenting fate}The surface world is a cruel place. GREETING {Angry disbelief}Why are you people treating us like this? GREETING {Angry Disappointment}We're heading back home. I hope our troops do the same. This land can't be saved. GREETING {Sorrowful}Trying to grow crops in this heat, with so little water, is bad enough, but now we've got radiation seeping into the farmlands east of New Vegas. GREETING {Angry Disappointment}We're done. Let the people of these hell-hole deal with their problems, I say. GREETING I can't wait to get back to NCR lands. GREETING {Sorrowful}All our work was for nothing. GREETING {Angry Disappointment}We should've never come here. GREETING {Angry Disappointment}Good riddance, Mojave. GREETING {Curious Beep}

GREETING {Relieved}Won't have to worry about those Fiend assholes for some time now, huh? GREETING {Surprised}I heard Mr. House's done for. I hope the Sewers don't turn for the worse. GREETING {Happily Surprised}We should reclaim the rest of city, if the rumors about House are true. GREETING {Pessimistic Sarcasm}You saved the NCR's head honcho, sure you can save a bunch of low-life scum like us. GREETING {Pessimistic Sarcasm}Got time to save us too, or are you running errands for your NCR masters? GREETING {Satisfied}Even Presidents die, huh? Good. GREETING {Pessimistic Resignation}Caesar's death don't change shit down here. GREETING {Defiant, then relieved}That Legion boss would've never taken the city, but I'm glad he's a goner. GREETING {Wishful Sarcasm}Wonder if we can move into the Sewers under the Strip now that Mr. House is outta business. GREETING If there's war in the end, it won't affect our city. GREETING Rumors of imminent war have made it all the way down here. GREETING {Indolent}Going to stay down here until all the trouble outside blows over. GREETING Looks like the entire region's going straight where we are - knee-deep in shit. GREETING {Almost annoyed}Only one bad thing about the Thorn, it brings all the idiots, assholes and topsiders down here. GREETING {Excited}I can't wait to hit The Thorn. I wouldn't mind hitting on Red Lucy either, but she's outta my league. GREETING {Excited}Going to place me a good bet at The Thorn. GREETING {Excited}Want to see the best of New Vegas?

GREETING {Honest Praise}Hey, It's great what you're doing for The Thorn, way to go! GREETING {Amazement}Wish I could've seen you capture those beasts for our Thorn! GREETING {Honest Praise}I've heard of your fights at The Thorn. People down here don't stop talking about you. GREETING {Bewildered}Taking down a Giant Radscorpion, by yourself, has made you popular down here. GREETING {Bewildered}Killing Fire Geckos at The Thorn is no joke, you're quite the fighter! GREETING {Bewildered}You've beat Night Stalkers, right? We don't see that often down here. GREETING {Bewildered}You've taken down Cazadores! Didn't think I'd ever see that. GREETING {Bewildered}I heard you've killed Deathclaws at The Thorn. I couldn't believe it! GREETING {Excited}One of these days, Red Lucy's going to show off her Deathclaws. GREETING {Dumbfounded}All hell broke loose when the creatures escaped from The Thorn! GREETING {Dumbfounded}One of those beasts cut my friend in half! How the hell did they escape from Red Lucy? GREETING {Dumbfounded}Can't believe that The Thorn's no more. GREETING {Dumbfounded}Can't believe that The Thorn's no more. GREETING {Dumbfounded}Red Lucy was a fine warrior, and a beautiful woman. GREETING {Dumbfounded}We'll miss Red Lucy down here. GREETING {Slight Sarcasm}Fiends don't come here no more, they say. GREETING {Slight Sarcasm}I bet NCR troops can't wait to clean the sewers. GREETING {Slight Sarcasm}New Vegas, paradise, my ass. GREETING {Slight Sarcasm}NCR should head back to their lands, I'm sure *their* people miss them. GREETING {Slight Sarcasm}NCR came all the way to save us, huh? Guess they missed the shit-holes. GREETING {Matter of Course Warning}Stay underground at night.

GREETING {Anxious Apprehension}I need my fix. GREETING {Anxious Apprehension}I hurt all over. GREETING {Anxious Apprehension}Going to eat the next fucking rat I see. GREETING {Anxious Apprehension}Just got to find me some sweet Jet. GREETING {Beaten Resignation}Won't ever make enough to live outside. GREETING {Beaten Resignation}Can't go anywhere else. GREETING {Beaten Resignation}Don't think I'll make it topside any time soon. GREETING {Beaten Resignation}Smells like shit all the time, but at least we're safer than in the Wastes. GREETING {Thankful}Good to see you respect the Followers. GREETING {Cautionary}Make sure the NCR dog behaves, you're in the Mojave now. GREETING {Approving}Your merchant friend is always welcome among us. GREETING {Apprehensive Curiosity}That bot of yours don't look like anything I've seen in the Mojave. GREETING {Overt Curiosity}Your friend's not from the desert, is she? GREETING {Suspicious}We tolerate Wasteland savages, as long as they respect our rule around here. GREETING {Player not in Powder Ganger gear}{part of an act - he's not really a merchant and trying to see if the player is really a Powder Ganger}Better be careful around these parts. I hear there's Powder Gangers around and dangerous for merchants like me. GREETING {Male PC, in Powder Ganger gear}{triumphant}Well, well. It's about time one of you guys came along. I figure the NCR would pay a pretty good bounty for a Powder Ganger. GREETING {Female PC, in Powder Ganger gear}{puzzled}Hadn't heard there were women Powder Gangers, but a bounty's a bounty. The NCR will probably pay up either way. GREETING You won't see me around here again. GREETING What brings you back? GREETING I hate it here, fucking sulfur stinks. GREETING What more do you want? GREETING I haven't seen you before - what brings you to the Great Khans? GREETING It's good to have you here. What can I do for you? GREETING You honor the Great Khans with your presence. What can I do to help you? GREETING You're always... {beat, considering word choice}interesting to have around. GREETING {Cautious, unsure of player's motives}What are you doing here? GREETING If you're smart, you'll find somewhere else to be. GREETING You're becoming quite the political agitator. I can't say I'm displeased. GREETING Something else you wanted? GREETING We'll begin readying the camp to move. As soon as Caesar makes his move, we'll depart. We will make ourselves strong again, and we shall conquer! GREETING So, the cub enters the wolf's den. What do you want, cub? GREETING All four of my most trusted advisors have told me we should break our alliance - maybe I should hear you out after all. GREETING I'm beginning to hear troubling rumors from my advisors. Would you know anything about that? GREETING More of my advisors are starting to talk openly of breaking our alliance. I wonder where that idea is coming from? GREETING I understand you dealt the NCR a crushing defeat at Forlorn Hope. I hope that trend continues. GREETING That's why I've made a decision: I'm naming you my heir. When I die, leadership of the Great Khans will pass to you. GREETING You've been doing good things for us - don't think I haven't noticed. What can I do for you? GREETING It's always a pleasure to see you around the camp. GREETING Are you going to help us this time, or vex us? GREETING And so the unpredictable one returns. What do you want from us? GREETING I've got little enough patience for you. Consider your words carefully - you don't want me as an enemy. GREETING In the past, I'd have had someone like you executed for showing their face here - consider yourself lucky I don't have the warriors to spare. GREETING Ah, you're back. What else do you need? GREETING Not now, I'm busy. GREETING You look like someone with a question. What can I do for you? GREETING It's good you told me about Dermot and Saint James. It was killing that needed doing. GREETING You think you see the worst of what people can do to each other, and then there's always something else to top it. GREETING I'm going to assume you had reason to kill Dermot and his pet. Always had a bad feeling about them. {stern}But everyone else here is hands-off. GREETING You can just talk to the whores, you know. You and me don't need to talk unless there's trouble. GREETING What do you need this time? GREETING {Player in combat}Hey, don't drag me into this! GREETING {Male PC}Hey, mister, looking to relax? Looks like you carry a lot of tension in your shoulders... {mischievous}and upper thighs. GREETING {Female PC}Sorry, ma'am, but my services are {archly}members only GREETING That situation with Dermot and Saint James must've been stressful. Looking to relax? GREETING {Male PC}Glad you came back. You wanna get together with me? GREETING {Female PC}Still wasting your time in this pit, honey? GREETING {Player in combat}Fuck off! I ain't helping you! GREETING I got nothing you need. If it's ass you're looking for, talk to Pretty Sarah. GREETING I said fuck off. GREETING {Player in combat}Yeah! Fight! Fight! GREETING {unstable}Why you talking to me, man? I'm trying to relax here, got it? GREETING {unstable, issues with women}When I talk to a girl, I start the conversation! And I didn't start no conversation with you. GREETING {unstable}We got to go through this again? What's it about this time? GREETING {Player in combat}Oh my! Keep me out of this! GREETING Hello, stranger. You looking for a good time? GREETING Don't see many or your kind here in the Casa. Women, I mean - who ain't working. GREETING Always knew there was something wrong with Dermot and Saint James. Neither one ever got busy between my legs! GREETING Been enjoying your time at the Casa? GREETING {Player in combat}Look out! GREETING {Female PC}Hey, honey. Looking for something softer than a man can give you? GREETING {Male PC}Hey, baby. What say you and me get acquainted? GREETING Dermot being dead I don't care about, but Saint James was regular income. Maybe you could throw some business my way? GREETING Hi again. You here to play? GREETING {Player in combat}{deadpan}You look busy. Talk to me later. GREETING {playing at being a showman}Welcome to the Casa Madrid - cheapest, cleanest whores in all New Vegas. If you want to know the rates for poon, talk to the whores. GREETING {sarcastically}Thanks a lot. I'm out Dermot and St. James's rent - and they paid regular - and once they get to stinking I'll have to clean up the mess, too! GREETING Yeah? What is it? GREETING I'm not getting sucked into your fight, friend. GREETING {as a way of introducing himself}Tom Anderson. Can I help you? GREETING Good to see you again. GREETING Hello? Can you help me? GREETING Have you decided to help me? GREETING Please hurry! She's on the ridge, past the broken radio tower. GREETING Sorry I tricked you, but thanks for clearing out the Geckos. Now I can get to that stash up there... after I deal with you. GREETING Welcome to the Atomic Wrangler. Looking to exchange? GREETING Welcome to Gomorrah, how can I help you? GREETING Welcome to Vikki and Vance. Can I help you with an exchange? GREETING If you're down on your luck and need some caps, I buy just about anything. Of course, I've also got plenty of things for sale, too. GREETING Here to do business? GREETING Howdy. Name's Bob, but folks around here call me Klamath Bob. What can I do you for? GREETING Hey, stranger. Hope you been well. What do you need? GREETING Nng. Hi. GREETING Nng. Hi again. GREETING Hi there. Welcome to the Westside Co-op. I'm Clayton Ettienne. Let me know if you have any questions. GREETING Welcome back. How can I help you? GREETING Uh... hi. GREETING Oh, hello. GREETING {kid who just got caught in the act}Agh! I wasn't doing anything! GREETING Hello again. GREETING Trying to elevate your status by being seen with me? It won't work. GREETING You look like you'd be more at home at one of the other hotels. GREETING I'm sorry, I prefer to converse with interesting people. GREETING {Disdainful, at first}I hear you've been clawing your way up the social ladder. {then, confidentially}What's your secret? GREETING People are talking about you. GREETING I like the cut of your jib. GREETING Well, if it isn't the toast of New Vegas. GREETING Welcome to the pinnacle of society. GREETING Would you mind staying here a moment? I want people to see that I know you. GREETING You're an odd duck. GREETING You've been acting awfully strange towards us. GREETING What are you playing at? I'm really starting to wonder about you. GREETING I'm having a little get-together later, but you are not invited until you learn to behave. GREETING How can you be such a dear and such a bother at the same time? GREETING You'll never be at the top until you learn some manners and common decency. GREETING {repulsed}What's that smell? Oh, it's you. GREETING Please, you're lowering my status. GREETING Shouldn't you be in Freeside with the other thugs? GREETING You vile cad. I've half a mind to give you a solid thrashing with my cane. GREETING Remove yourself from my sight at once. GREETING Loathsome wretch. GREETING Life at the top is immensely satisfying. GREETING It must be horrible to live in places without luxury. GREETING Being an honorary member isn't the same as being a real member, but it still makes you better than everyone else. GREETING So you've joined the Society. It feels different, doesn't it? Like you're entitled to the best things life has to offer. GREETING You mustn't ask why we wear our masks. We are forbidden to speak of it. GREETING The Lucky 38's perpetual glow these days... it's rather gauche, don't you think? GREETING {Mr. House agreed to surrender Vegas to the NCR}If Mr. House is going to lower his standards, we'll just have to raise ours! GREETING Need some grub? I got you covered. Cheap and filling. GREETING {Player killed Lupa}Lupa met an honorable death in the arena. GREETING Some of the slaves have been spreading stories about the Burned Man again. GREETING
GREETING We don't have time to talk, let's get this fight going. GREETING {experiment in progress}Please don't interrupt me right now. GREETING Keene has never liked me. If anyone can talk him into backing down, it'll have to be you. GREETING Don't you see everything is going to hell? I'm gonna go find someplace safe to hide out at. GREETING I love this place, but I can't take this kind of stress anymore. I'm going to head back west to see my grandkids. GREETING Hello there youngster. Welcome to my baby. GREETING Troublemaker, don't you dare hurt my baby. GREETING Always good to see a friendly face, you're always welcome to visit my baby girl. GREETING You keep yourself outta trouble around my baby, I'm watching you. GREETING Welcome back to my baby. GREETING {snort} NCR, no better than common thieves. Where do they get off stealing our armor? GREETING {Player just won the battle}Caesar on the cross, been a long time since I've seen the kind of work you've laid down today... a {emph}damn long time. GREETING {Wistful}And the screams of those Legion bastards as they kicked dirt running East... like a choir of angels to my ears. GREETING Speaking of - that crazy lightshow over the Fort, what the fuck was that, some kind of thumb from God you called down? {Wistful}Amazing, fucking amazing. GREETING Could use a hundred of you, just scatter you over the East like jacks, give those plumed fucks the what-for. GREETING Well, you took your sweet ass time coming here. GREETING Let's get down to brass tacks, we need to get this thing moving if we want to keep the element of surprise. GREETING That was a fine bit of work back there. Truth told, I'm surprised you made it out of there in one piece. {Under his breath}You and the Dam. GREETING I'm impressed to say the least, and that's no easy thing. You've secured NCR's future - the administration sends its thanks, for what it's worth. GREETING {Mike Lawson Placeholder dialogue} GREETING Damn Brotherhood, bunch of elitist jerks. What were we to do, leave good armor out in the wastes to rust? GREETING Whatever it is, make it quick. I don't have time for idle chatter. GREETING {Angry, frustrated}As if I didn't have enough to worry about, one of our facilities was recently broken into and its power diverted. GREETING Have you seen that damned tower in the Strip, all aglow? Of course you've seen it. Everyone's seen it. GREETING That was {stressed}our power that did that, and I {stressed}will find out who did it. {beat, realizes the player's there, rant ends}Did you have something to report? GREETING {Placeholder for Moore's top level topics} GREETING Not right now, I'm busy. GREETING You again. What do you want? GREETING Good, you made it. I've been receiving reports about the savior of the NCR" for a while now GREETING You've proven yourself especially capable, and right now I can use all the capable people I can get. GREETING Crocker gets handed the fluff missions that no one else wants to do. When people need something really important done, they come to me. GREETING Usually, I dispatch one or more rangers to see these things through, but I'm a little shorthanded at the moment. Think you're up for a real mission? GREETING Good, you made it. I've been receiving reports of your activities for a little while now, and wanted to meet you myself. GREETING Even though you've caused us a great deal of trouble, you've proven yourself very capable, and right now I can use all the capable people I can get. GREETING Crocker gets handed the fluff missions that no one else wants to do. When people need something really important done, they come to me. GREETING Usually, I dispatch one or more rangers to see these things through, but I'm a little shorthanded at the moment. Think you're up for a real mission? GREETING Good, you made it. I've been receiving reports of your activities for a little while now, and wanted to meet you myself. GREETING The reports label you a troublemaker, but also extraordinarily capable, and right now I can use all the capable people I can get. GREETING Crocker gets handed the fluff missions that no one else wants to do. When people need something really important done, they come to me. GREETING Usually, I dispatch one or more rangers to see these things through, but I'm a little shorthanded at the moment. Think you're up for a real mission? GREETING Good, you made it.

When people need something really important done, they come to me. GREETING Usually, I dispatch one or more rangers to see these things through, but I'm a little shorthanded at the moment. Think you're up for a real mission? GREETING Yes, did you have an update on the Khans? GREETING Have you discovered what the Omertas are up to? GREETING Report. Is Mr. House still a threat? GREETING Has the Brotherhood been found? GREETING Is the president safe? GREETING It's best not to keep the general waiting. GREETING Ah, our hero returns. What can I do for you? GREETING {Player sent to Lanius by Caesar or Lucius}You are the courier Lord Caesar has spoken of. The slaughter begins, then. GREETING Greetings, courier. We caught word the battle was about to begin. We arrived before the road was closed off; our warriors are here to assist you. GREETING Alpha Squad reporting in. Thanks for the support back there. We've been assigned to ensure you make it to the Legate. How can we be of assistance? GREETING We are excecuting your commands. GREETING Go on. GREETING Not now! GREETING You shouldn't be here. It's best if you just move along. GREETING Get out of here already. GREETING
GREETING
GREETING
GREETING {Low, vicious, angry}And who is this before me in the colors of the Legion. An envoy... dressed as an insult to all that carry out Caesar's will. GREETING {Suspicious, slow}And who are you to come before me... you bear the insignia of the Bear, yet you do not wear it as a soldier of the West wears it. GREETING {Suspicious, slow}And the West seeks to appease me by sending a woman? Such gifts are meant for the cowards of Vegas, not for the Legion. GREETING {Suspicious, slow}An envoy of Vegas, yet you carry yourself for battle. If so, you cannot *truly* be of that city of cowards. GREETING {Suspicious, slow}And who are you to come before me... you don't bear the mark of the Bear, yet are ready for battle. GREETING {Final Combat}{Beat, then disdain}Your words have done nothing but delay the inevitable. {Beat}Now, see what my hounds and my blade will bring to you. GREETING {Cold, finality}For the Legion. GREETING [FAILED] {Angered, cutting the player off}Enough. GREETING {Uneasy}Guess it ain't no secret how you, uh... I say, can you ask them to put their weapons down. Was just reaching in my coat to give you a cigar. GREETING Come on, men - we're pulling out. GREETING {Mutters as walking away}Got leveled by a goddamn courier - screw the message, it's the messenger that'll fuck you. GREETING What the hell? No, get away from me, you goddamn TV on wheels! GREETING {Sensing unpleasant reversal}What is this Brahmin shit. I'm not getting the feeling we're all about to sing koombahyah here. GREETING Fucking Mr. House was holding the cards the whole goddamn time. Him and his little errand boy. GREETING Fucking Mr. House was holding the cards the whole goddamn time. Him and his little errand girl. GREETING {Walking away, grumbling}Should have known, Greeks and gifts. That, and next time, shoot the messenger. GREETING
GREETING
GREETING Let's get to fighting! Now is not the time to talk! GREETING I'm not sure I'll ever learn everything there is to know about this place. GREETING Can I help you with something, stranger? GREETING I hear tell you pretty well wiped out the Fiends around here. Not bad, not bad. GREETING Welcome back, merc. GREETING Have you taken care of those squatters? GREETING Have you run off those greasers? GREETING Good to see you around. Take care, merc. GREETING You're still around, huh? GREETING What do you want? GREETING Piss off! GREETING We're going, we're going! GREETING What are you doing here? Get out before I blow your head off! GREETING I can't believe this shit. You again? GREETING So, what's up? GREETING I hope you've got some good news about Alice. GREETING {Reining Immense Anger}I should kill you, right here, for what you've done. GREETING Hello there! Welcome to the Crimson Caravan Company. How can I help you today? GREETING Need anything? GREETING I owe you an apology, stranger. We almost lost her forever, and I'm glad that things didn't turn out for the worse. GREETING Oh. Hello, there. GREETING I hope you're not planning on visiting {spoken with distaste} the Strip. GREETING The rest of this city has gone absolutely to seed! GREETING Any news from out of town? GREETING Don't recall seeing you here before. GREETING Welcome to North Vegas, stranger! GREETING Don't rush me. We're going, okay? GREETING What the hell are you looking at, punk? GREETING Rot in hell. GREETING
GREETING Back off! I know how to use this gun, and I'm not afraid to shoot if you try anything! GREETING I've put up with their shit long enough. No more! I'll... I'll kill them if they get in my way! GREETING What are you looking at, huh? Answer me, or I'll get trigger-happy real quick. GREETING {Overtly Suspicious, Confident in Himself}Humph... I see lots of folks come and go, but none fit your type. Where you come from, stranger? GREETING Look, I'm willing to let you slide, but you're asking for it. Tell me what's your business in my town. GREETING What's eating you? GREETING
GREETING You again? Get out here, smoothface. GREETING Get lost! GREETING I've got nothing to say to you, punk. Scram! GREETING What the fuck you want, huh? GREETING Hey, you! What the hell are you doing? Keep snooping around here and I'll skin you like a fucking Gecko. GREETING Andy's not gonna be happy. Where the hell's that crazy bitch? GREETING What? GREETING ... Huh? GREETING I've got nothing to say to you, stranger. GREETING I was blind to what was happening in my own family. We don't have much, but please take this. GREETING What... what have I done!? Mother... GREETING ... GREETING ... GREETING Look what you've done, you bastard! GREETING Oh no! Alice... Alice, baby! I'm sorry, so sorry... GREETING She... Alice left, didn't she? I can't believe you let her go! Some help you've been! GREETING Good to see you again. I'm just passing through here; staying at this refugee camp, under the wing of NCR thugs, is the last thing on my mind. GREETING {Chance encounter on the road}Hey there! I'm on my way to Novac to find a new home, even if it lasts just a little while. See you around. GREETING Hello again. Well, this is my place now. With time, I'll turn it into a good home. GREETING {Primm, NCR rule}The NCR's all over Primm. Steer clear. GREETING {Kimball dead}Somebody whacked the NCR president. Got what was coming to him. GREETING {Caesar dead}Someone took out the Legion's boss. Doubt it'll stop them for long, though. GREETING {Middle Game}Lot more troops on the road these days. Wonder what's up. GREETING {Late Game}Best to lay low. The NCR and the Legion are about to have it out. GREETING {Liked 1}You and me are all right. GREETING {Liked 2}Good to know that you've got my back. GREETING {Liked 3}Don't let the NCR catch up to you, all right? GREETING {Rascal 1}You seem to be on the level. GREETING {Rascal 2}Heard some things about you. {clarifying}Good things. GREETING {Rascal 3}Guess we're on the same side. GREETING {Wild Child 1}I respect you, but I want nothing to do with you. GREETING {Wild Child 2}I've heard some crazy stories about you. GREETING {Wild Child 3}Whatever is you want, keep me out of it. I've heard the stories. GREETING {Mixed 1}I don't think I'll be turning my back to you anytime soon. GREETING {Mixed 2}Keep your hands where I can see them - makes me feel better. GREETING {Mixed 3}You make it hard to trust you, you know that? GREETING {Hated 1}You better be sleeping with one eye open. GREETING {Hated 2}Why are you even talking to me? GREETING {Hated 3}I'd kill you right now if I could. GREETING {Thug 1}You're not exactly making friends around here, are you? GREETING {Thug 2}You and I have got nothing to talk about. GREETING {Thug 3}Just keep on walking. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Lily}Holy fuck. Never seen a mutant like that before. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Rex}Didn't know they still had robo-dogs around. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Raul}Wouldn't want to live forever if I had to look like a ghoul. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Boone}{slight awe, respectful}That guy's got cold eyes. Definitely ex-military. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Veronica}Now there's a fine-looking woman. Just needs to ditch the robe. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Cass}Tough-looking woman. Something tells me she aims for the crotch. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Arcade}We bought and sold guys like Four-Eyes over there like property back in the prison. GREETING {slight threat}You eyeballing me? GREETING Damn. Running low on smokes again. GREETING Any lawman that comes after me won't have it easy. GREETING Never gets old when something blows up. GREETING No way I'm going back to prison. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Lily}Holy fuck. Never seen a mutant like that before. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Boone}{slight awe, respectful}That guy's got cold eyes. Definitely ex-military. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Cass}Tough-looking woman. Something tells me she aims for the crotch. GREETING {Liked 1}You and me are all right. GREETING {Liked 2}Good to know that you've got my back. GREETING {Liked 3}Don't let the NCR catch up to you, all right? GREETING {Rascal 1}You seem to be on the level. GREETING {Rascal 2}Heard some things about you. {clarifying}Good things. GREETING {Rascal 3}Guess we're on the same side. GREETING {Wild Child 1}I respect you, but I want nothing to do with you. GREETING {Wild Child 2}I've heard some crazy stories about you.

GREETING {slight threat}You eyeballing me? GREETING Damn. Running low on smokes again. GREETING Never gets old when something blows up. GREETING {Companion Reaction - EDE}Wouldn't mind having one of those little flying robots myself. GREETING {Fearful Suspicion}I've seen what those creatures do, and I don't know how you trust them. GREETING {Fearful Suspicion}I've seen what those creatures do, and I don't know how you trust them. GREETING {Fearful Suspicion}I've seen what those creatures do, and I don't know how you trust them. GREETING {Revolted}Your Ghoul friend better not be radioactive. GREETING {Unabashed Curiosity}What on earth is *that* creature? GREETING {Thoughtful Curiosity}Your lady friend seems out of place here. GREETING {Thoughtful Curiosity}Your friend seems too civilized for a place like this. GREETING {Satisfied}Caesar's fate was sealed from the start. GREETING {Satisfied}Wish I could've seen that Legion dog suffer. GREETING {Chanced Encounter}My lucky day, running into our President's savior! GREETING {Hopeful}I'm glad the President is still here to help us settle in these new territories. GREETING {Proud}I'm not surprised Kimball survived. We NCR people are made of hard stuff. GREETING {Violent}I should kill you myself for what you did to Kimball, and fuck the law! GREETING {Violent}Even without our President, we won't leave the new territories! GREETING {Violent}I bet I'd get a reward for bringing your head to the authorities, assassin! GREETING {Resigned}Kimball's luck ran out. GREETING {Proud}I should've taken the Fiend's head for myself. GREETING {Resigned Fear}They say the Fiends are defeated, but I'm sticking close to the army - just in case. GREETING {Cautious}They say it's safer to travel now that Fiends are retreating, but I'd still look out for trouble. GREETING {Arrogant}As we've done with the Fiends, we'll kill anyone who resists our fight for peace. GREETING {Visibly Disturbed}Legion attacking so far from their bases means we'll have to watch out on the road. GREETING {Pessimistic}We're just pushing our luck by signing a treaty with those savage Khans. GREETING {Proud and Celebratory}The territories are safer now that the Khans have disappeared. GREETING {Scolding Hindsight}I told everyone we shouldn't have bet for the Khans. GREETING {Self-Affirming Conviction}It's clear that savages, like the Khans, can't be trusted to civilize. GREETING {Proud}I'll tell everyone back home about how the NCR deals with wild thugs, like the Kings. GREETING {Proud}The Kings were pushing it too far, and they got what was coming to them. GREETING {Proud Sarcasm}I guess those Kings" finally got who's the real boss around here." GREETING {Hopeful}Our victory at Nelson's a worthy story to tell in my travels. GREETING {Hopeful}Our victory at Nelson's a worthy story to tell in my travels. GREETING {Arrogant}Nelson will serve as example. We'll bleed the ground red with anyone who opposes our peace-efforts. GREETING {Bewildered Anger}You'll pay for what you did to our soldiers at Forlorn Hope, murderer! GREETING {Proud}It's good to hear that Primm has accepted our law. GREETING {Matter of Fact}A reliable source told me we're getting the best NCR soldiers to help us against the Legion. GREETING {Admiringly}Have you seen them? Our Rangers are the finest men alive! GREETING {Worried}People are whispering, everywhere, about the massive Legion army gathering past the Colorado. GREETING {Visibly Worried}Looks like the Legion also brought their own elite warriors to the territories. GREETING {Visibly Worried}You'd be crazy to put your money on either side of the coming battle. GREETING {unsettled}Why the hell is the Lucky 38 all lit up these days? I don't like it. GREETING {Conviction}We'll make this land peaceful, after we kill everybody who opposes us. GREETING {Fearful}It's time to pack and leave these lands until the dust settles. GREETING {Fearful}It's time to pack and leave these lands until the dust settles. GREETING {Casual Acknowledgement}What's up. GREETING {Casual Acknowledgement}Uh huh. GREETING {Casual}Hey. GREETING {Unabashed Curiosity}Never seen a guardian dog like that before. GREETING {Satisfied}With Caesar out of the way, we'll assert our rule over the territories. GREETING {Self-Affirming Conviction}I knew that the Khans were animals. We should kill them like vermin. GREETING {Bewildered Anger}What on earth could push you to destroy Forlorn Hope? GREETING {Fearful Apprehension}You're not going to raze us to the ground, like you did to Forlorn Hope, right? GREETING {Proud}NCR will civilize all this Wasteland, Primm is only the beginning. GREETING {Encouraged}I've heard that we're getting strong reinforcements to help us civilize the territories. GREETING {Disappointed}Instead of spending a fortune in this war, the NCR should be paying us to survive! GREETING {Disappointed}I could buy back my *life* with the money it must cost to make one of those Ranger elite armors! GREETING {Admiringly}The Legion better watch out now, our Rangers are going to turn the tables around! GREETING {Visibly Worried}Despite our strength, the Legion army looks fierce enough to make me waiver. GREETING {Thoughtful Naivete}Maybe when this is all over, they'll find time to look after us. GREETING {Fearful}It's time to pack and leave these lands until the dust settles. GREETING {Hopeful}Our victory at Nelson's a worthy story to tell in my travels. GREETING {Irritated Warning}Don't go messing around with the Fiends. GREETING {Irritated Warning}We ain't here to help you, get out. GREETING {Irritated Warning}What the hell are you doing here? Civilians shouldn't be here. GREETING {Slight Concern for the player}It's not safe around here. GREETING {Slight Concern for the player}Try not to get killed, okay? GREETING {Slight Concern for the player}You should go topside. GREETING Ooh, suddenly I feel all tingly. And I find I've got a rocket launcher! GREETING Mr. House is just pleased as punch you got those old Securitrons back on-line, sugar. GREETING Ooh, the lights are all back on! How nice! GREETING You should have seen Mr. House when he heard what you did to the Omertas. He was as giddy as a schoolboy! GREETING Those nasty Brotherhood of Steel brutes are all taken care of? Mr. House will be so glad! GREETING When he heard you stopped President Kimball's assassination, Mr. House went on about martyrs and misadventures for hours! GREETING I bet those Boomers have some awfully big... {innuendo-palooza}guns. GREETING See? Mr. House has everything well in hand! GREETING Well hello, sugar. Mr. House is waiting for you in his office. GREETING How do they keep the floor in here so clean? GREETING They should have used Paladins to help protect the President. GREETING If the NCR wasn't too proud to accept our assistance their president would still be alive. GREETING The NCR is lucky we've chosen to side with them or we'd take the death of their President as a moment of weakness. GREETING We are here to help protect the dam, word is Oliver is on his way and the battle will start soon. GREETING We're ready to deploy whenever the NCR says the word. GREETING The Brotherhood hasn't seen a real battle in so long, I have no doubt we'll handle this no problem. GREETING The NCR is going to be grateful to have us around when the shooting starts. GREETING The Elder sent us to help protect the dam and await further orders. GREETING Mike Lawson sure knows his way around the dam. GREETING I'm honored to work with Lawson, he knows more about the dam than anyone. GREETING Fantastic grabbed my ass. That guy is vile. GREETING I'm pretty sick of Fantastic, can't that guy keep his hands to himself? GREETING Everyone is abuzz about Oliver arriving soon. That must mean the battle is close. GREETING Hanlon is pretty legendary, people talk about what he did at the first battle of hoover dam with awe and respect. GREETING I miss California. GREETING By Mars these weaklings die easily. GREETING Don't get in my way! GREETING What happened to your buddy's face? GREETING {Drunk, very slurred speech}I am not an alcoholic, sir. I'm a drunk! There's a difference! GREETING {Drunk, very slurred speech}I am not an alcoholic, ma'am. I'm a drunk! There's a difference! GREETING {Drunk ramble}The problem with some people is when they're not drunk, they're sober. GREETING {Drunk ramble}People ask me how much it takes me to get drunk. I don't know. I usually can't remember numbers, let alone where I am the next morning. GREETING {Drunk ramble}Hey! Watch your back! There be a pack of ol' ladies runnin' round here somewhere! Don't let {em}them catch you unawares! GREETING {Prison under attack}I don't want to get shot! GREETING It's about time a new customer showed up around here. Was getting sick of dealing with the same faces all the time. GREETING {After prison battle}I can't believe the NCR actually showed up. We sure showed them, though. Right? GREETING What's up? GREETING {Prison under attack}There's still more troopers out there! GREETING {Male Player in Powder Ganger gear}I know {emphasis all"}all the guys I did time with around here and you ain't one of them. Can't fool me with that Powder Ganger getup." GREETING {Female player in Powder Ganger gear}Okay, I know I wasn't serving time with no girl, or I'd have heard about it. You come to play with the Powder Gangers? GREETING {Male PC}Look at you, walking in here like you're one of us. Don't you know this is Powder Ganger territory? GREETING {Female PC}Hey there, girlie. You here to party with the Powder Gangers? GREETING {After NCR attack}{gleeful for killing a guy}Did you see me take out that NCR trooper? Right through his eye! GREETING {slightly hostility}What do you want now? GREETING {Prison under attack}I knew I should've gone with Cooke! GREETING Heard there was a new face around. I'm the doctor around here... sort of. GREETING {After prison battle - relieved}That... was close. I really need to find some nice, quiet place to settle. GREETING Sticking around, I see. GREETING {Waiting in Primm for Pardon}Have you gotten my pardon from the NCR yet? GREETING {Sheriff of Primm}Thanks for getting me that pardon. Me and the boys will take good care of Primm, don't you worry. GREETING {Sheriff of Primm}I can do right by this town, they were in need of some frontier justice. GREETING {Prison under attack}Sounds like the NCR is finally getting off their ass to settle things around here. Don't expect me to get in their way. GREETING {Player is in Combat}Maybe you ought to worry about the guys trying to kill you first. GREETING Didn't know anyone would willingly walk into this place, not unless they were looking for trouble. What's your story? GREETING Welcome to Novac. It's not very exciting here, but the people are friendly enough. GREETING You saw the rockets explode, right? It turns out I was lucky they couldn't take me on the Great Journey. GREETING Do you have any idea what went wrong? GREETING I'm going to make my way to that little town we talked about. GREETING Welcome to Novac. It's not very exciting here, but the people are friendly enough. GREETING My engineering skills have been coming in handy, too. I've got plenty to do. Thanks for telling me about this place. GREETING Hey! Over here! Are you listening? GREETING Go to the big room on the east side of this building and take the metal staircase all the way up. And hurry. GREETING {INTERCOM}The cleaners will knock twice. Make sure they're thorough. GREETING {INTERCOM, NOASSASSIN}Baby, this little reunion of ours? Chalk me up as a no-show. GREETING I'm surprised you fell for it, not that I'm complaining. You caused plenty enough trouble, turning Swank against me. GREETING You've forced my hand. Hell, I gotta skip town because of you. A real pain in the caboose... GREETING Since you haven't pissed yourself I'll assume that you don't know who we are - next time I'll bring my sickle and wear my black cloak. GREETING See, the NCR sends us when they want terrible things done to terrible people... GREETING You need to be careful, it's dangerous out here! GREETING Heard some more people got attacked last night. GREETING Excuse me, but... are you the courier who caused all of that trouble in The Tops? GREETING Hey, have you been able to bug Mr. House's network yet? GREETING {delighted}If it isn't the courier who's done everything he can to defy the will of mighty {KAI-zar}Caesar! GREETING Why don't you wait in the other room while I chat with Silus here? GREETING You want to buy Wind-Brahmin? GREETING Anders showed up here not too long ago. I'm told you're the one who got him out of the vault. GREETING I can't tell you how relieved I am. Sending him on that mission was a mistake. GREETING We're all impressed with the work you've done for us. I thought you might be able to make use of this. GREETING It's a key to a little hideaway south of here. We've used it as a place for Rangers to rest and resupply. I thought you might get good use out of it. GREETING Peace, traveler. GREETING You again? What 'cha need, champ? GREETING Unless you wanna slap leather with me you'll put that gun down, friend. GREETING Who the fuck are you? GREETING Shut up and keep going. GREETING I don't know where the hell you're going but it's not the right way. Are you still in this? GREETING What do you want now? GREETING

GREETING
GREETING Hello again. Remember to stop by one of these nights. Northwest, by the old train station. GREETING {Great Khan}Man, I'm sick of this place. Can't wait to get back to Red Rock. GREETING {Great Khan- slight awe at level of destruction}The NCR sure did a number on this place. GREETING {Great Khan}Hope the NCR doesn't send reinforcements from the Dam. GREETING Hard to believe this place used to be a luxury resort, huh? GREETING Haven't had any reports from Station Charlie in a while - hope everything's okay. GREETING Don't tell the troopers, but the grub up here is way better than the mess tent. GREETING We can monitor ranger activity all through the region with the systems here. GREETING I just can't believe Chief Hanlon would do that. GREETING Jesus, the Chief's dead. Who's going to take over now? GREETING You should talk to Chief Hanlon if you have any questions. He's usually up on the balcony. GREETING A tribe called the Great Khans has joined us. They'd better be good fighters. GREETING They say a doctor killed Caesar. Why would Caesar need a doctor? GREETING Is Benny taken care of yet? GREETING You're back. Find anything? GREETING I hope they don't close the quarry. I need the money. GREETING With Chomps in jail, who's going to run things at the quarry? He was our most experienced guy! GREETING Maybe I was just seeing things, but I could've sworn I saw some people up on the ridge by the quarry. GREETING {Elite rangers have arrived}{Veteran}I keep an eye out for Rangers in black armor. I haven't killed one yet. GREETING {Nelson wiped out}{veteran}Had the Legionaries at Nelson been more {beat}seasoned, we'd still hold the settlement. GREETING {LATIN}{AH-way}Ave. GREETING You ready to deal with Benny yet? GREETING So that's it then. Benny's dead, and I'm the boss now. What can I do for you? GREETING Hi there. I'm Old Lady Gibson, or so they tell me. I've got odds and ends for sale, and I'm pretty good at fixing things, too. GREETING You might have noticed the very large building just north of here. That's HELIOS One. The NCR runs the place, so it's off-limits to prospectors. GREETING {Worried}We can't sit idly while the Legion prepares their own elite forces. GREETING {Conviction}The time to assert our rule over the territories has come. GREETING {Primm, new Sheriff}Primm's got some new sheriff watching over the town now. GREETING The Lucky 38's all lit up because someone infiltrated the El Dorado and flipped a switch. I'd shoot those lights out if I could. GREETING I waited months to get in here, but the place isn't nearly full. You think the waiting list is just for hype? GREETING The food here is to die for. No one cooks Brahmin like Philippe. GREETING NCR military transmissions say the robots on the Strip have been upgraded. Wish we had eyes-on intel... GREETING Mr. House is out of the picture. Probably killed by his own robots. GREETING I heard you took out Caesar by yourself. Proves the Legion is just a bunch of savages, like we thought. GREETING With their leader gone, the Legion will likely tear itself apart. It's what most violent tribal societies do. GREETING NCR military radio keeps talking about Mr. House agreeing to join the NCR. What changed his mind? GREETING Someone blew up the monorail the NCR uses to travel to the Strip and back. We should use this time to strike! GREETING Seems the destruction of the monorail didn't slow the NCR down much. How many troops do they have? GREETING There's a rumor going around that you saved the NCR president's life. I'm surprised you have the stones to show your face around here. GREETING There was an attempt on the NCR president's life recently. Too bad it didn't succeed. GREETING Were you the one who killed the NCR president? I'd like to shake your hand! GREETING Did you hear? Someone actually managed to assassinate the NCR's president! And we just sit here! GREETING The other day I heard some bigwig in the NCR military died. Hopefully it disrupts their chain of command some. GREETING Did you hear about that NCR higher up that died? That he was trying to sabotage them? Hope he wasn't the only one. GREETING Seems the NCR is making friends. We've had reports of them making overtures to some gang in Freeside. GREETING We just had word that the town of Primm is now part of the NCR. At this rate, they'll be running the whole region soon. GREETING I heard some special squad of Rangers is on its way to the Vegas area. I guess the NCR is finally getting serious about fighting the Legion. GREETING There've been reports that the NCR is moving more and more troops into the area. GREETING It's the quiet before the storm up top. For once I'm almost glad we're down here. GREETING Keep an eye on Veronica here. She's a sharp one. GREETING Try to keep Veronica out of trouble, would you? GREETING If you're planning to take Veronica with you, be sure to have a good pair of earplugs with you. I'm kidding, Veronica! Put the power fist down! GREETING What a fascinating animal. I'm sure the scribes will want to take a look at him. GREETING You hear about that band of crazy old ladies running around? I hear they're real vicious when they mug folks. GREETING If the Lucky 38 coulda been giving us power all along, why all the fuss with Hoover Dam? GREETING Try sleeping with that Lucky 38 all lit up above you. Just try. GREETING I hear that woman can kill with her eyes! Stay away from me! GREETING Your lady friend needs to lighten up. GREETING Better watch out, I hear Rex likes to eat his owners. Why do you think the King was so eager to give him away? GREETING Good to see Rex still around and kicking. GREETING That's one ragged Ghoul you've got with you. Seems like a good guy, though. GREETING That ghoul with you looks like he's older than the war! My the things he must have seen. GREETING Oh no, I hear those things eat people! Stay back, freak! GREETING Odd company you keep. I thought all Super mutants were crazed cannibals. GREETING Weird robot. I don't think I've ever seen one of those before. GREETING That looks like one of those spybots I hear House has been secretly releasing at night. GREETING Business and luck don't often go hand-in-hand in the Mojave. Watch your back. GREETING Check out the Wrangler if she needs booze. GREETING Keep your guns to yourself and there won't be any trouble. GREETING You're not doing yourself a favor by having him tag along. NCR aren't welcome here. GREETING I hear that guy has hundreds of kills, not all of them deserving of death. GREETING I always thought there was more to Arcade than met the eye. I bet he'll do great things without the Followers holding him back. GREETING I'm surprised to see Arcade venturing out of the Old Mormon Fort. I thought science types preferred to stay indoors. GREETING Howdy. GREETING Hey. GREETING One of these days you'll get what's coming to you. GREETING Eat shit and die. That clear enough for you? GREETING {Annoyed}We don't take kindly to your type around these parts. GREETING Witch! Witch! You should be burned for all the people you've turned into newts! GREETING Baby-killer! Don't deny it! They told me you mowed down an entire orphanage on a dare! GREETING Necrophiliac! I heard about those corpses you dug up! Stay away from my grandparents, dammit! GREETING People say you practice witchcraft and dance naked in the moonlight. What the hell is wrong with you? GREETING So I hear you like picking on little kids, huh? What kind of person beats up children for their lunch money? GREETING People say you wear the skin of your enemies under your clothing. Is that true? GREETING {Annoyed}Leave me alone, scumbag. GREETING {Annoyed}You're a real piece of work. GREETING {Annoyed}Great. You again? GREETING You're one crazy bastard, you know that? GREETING I can't decide if I should shake your hand or make a run for it. GREETING Good? Bad? You're the one with the weapons, eh? GREETING Rumor has it you're really a posessed golem being controlled by the casinos. If this is true, where is your control crystal? GREETING Planning to kill a puppy or save some goons today? GREETING I have no idea what to believe when it comes to rumors about you. You must be insane or something. GREETING People around here think you're a bit of an enigma. GREETING Some say you like to trip old ladies crossing the street. Others say you regularly string up thugs. GREETING People just don't know what to think of you. GREETING Decisions are hard, aren't they? GREETING We're all hoping you'll eventually figure out which side you're on. GREETING Good? Bad? You're the one with the weapon. GREETING Thanks for everything you've done. It really means a lot. GREETING I hope some of the thugs around here follow your shining example. GREETING You've been a godsend to Freeside. GREETING I hear you even help the local rats cross the street. GREETING People are saying you must have super powers to have pulled off all you've done in Freeside. GREETING My friends have nothing but good things to say when your name is mentioned. It's great to see you. GREETING Word of your work around here is spreading like wildfire. Keep it up. GREETING Hey, you're the one people say has been helping out around here. Good on you. GREETING I tell my friends you're a shining example of what's good around here, but they're not so optimistic. GREETING Thanks for helping out around here. GREETING Good to see you're still around. GREETING Hey, good to see you. GREETING Hmm? GREETING Yeah? GREETING What's up? GREETING I wish I were there to see you take Benny down. GREETING They say you single-handedly assaulted the dam and massacred everyone! That must have been quite a sight! GREETING Well, it looks like we won't have to worry about NCR or the Legion messing with us now. I just hope the Securitrons can keep the peace. GREETING They say you swarmed the dam with a whole army of Securitrons! That must have been quite a sight! GREETING Can't say I like all the tin cans shuffling around, but this new Securitron Army shouldn't have much trouble keeping things safer around here. GREETING Why not just put the slave collars on us yourself, you bastard. With the Legion at the dam, it won't be long before they enslave us all. GREETING I heard the Legion is bringing in giant mutant dogs to assault the dam. I hope the NCR death squads packed steaks to distract them. GREETING Don't be fooled. As soon as the Legion and NCR start fighting, the robots will invade and kill us all! GREETING I hope the Legion gets destroyed. If they take the dam, we'll all be slaves. GREETING People say the NCR are bringing in super trooper death squads to defend the dam against the Legion! This battle is going to be crazy! GREETING Normally, I'd say screw the NCR, but if the Legion takes the dam, I think we're all screwed. GREETING Some of my friends think the Legion is throwing a huge barbeque cookout across the river. With that much smoke rising, I believe it! GREETING It looks like the Legion might be preparing for another run at the dam. This can't be good. GREETING Well, aren't you just special? Everybody likes the new guy, but me? I'm chopped liver. GREETING I hear you're building quite the reputation on The Strip. Don't forget about the little guys when you make it big. GREETING {Helped Joe Cobb}Got some fresh grub coming in from Goodsprings. GREETING {Helped Goodsprings}Joe Cobb's crew got themselves killed over in Goodsprings. GREETING {Eddie dead}Who's going to take charge with Eddie out of the picture? GREETING Haven't seen a decent caravan come up the road in days. GREETING Think that rollercoaster in Primm is still working? GREETING If it weren't for Cooke, we'd still be slaving away for the NCR. GREETING {Before Prison Attack}Gotta wonder why the NCR hasn't come for us. GREETING {After Prison Attack}We sure showed those bastards in the NCR. GREETING {Meyers became Sheriff}Haven't seen Meyers around. Did he run off or something? GREETING Scrambler's crazier than usual. Watch yourself. GREETING You hear about the Deathclaws north of here? GREETING Could've sworn I saw some Great Khans the other day. GREETING Steer clear of the Mojave Post. NCR troopers all over the place down there. GREETING {Scrambler dead}Man, I'm glad Scrambler's gone. GREETING I can't believe Caesar is dead. What will we do now? GREETING Caesar has been seen walking among the troops. A good omen. GREETING One of our agents successfully assassinated the NCR president. GREETING House signing up with the NCR, you hear? Fucking sell-out. GREETING If House is dead, how'd the lights get turned on in his place, huh? GREETING House is dead, wonder if Motor-Runner will let us hit the strip now. GREETING Why's that tower on the Strip all fucking lit up now, huh? I don't like it. GREETING Your pet ghoul smells like ass. GREETING Is that Mean Sonofabitch? They all look the same to me. GREETING {Laughs nervously}A flying robot? Man, I must be fucked up. GREETING You hear about this courier doing shit around the Strip? Like what, delivering {disparaging}mail? GREETING I wouldn't mind hitting that. She put out? GREETING You see a Ranger in black, run the other way. Take you out from a quarter mile off. GREETING Primm is going to be much tougher to push around with that new sheriff down there. GREETING Someone is targeting us, I'm gonna kill that fucker when I find out who did it. GREETING The Khans are all gone, wonder if they left behind their shit for making our goods. GREETING {Laughs}House unplugged like a light. Wonder if he twitched before he bit it. GREETING Fuck, where are we gonna get our shit from now that the Khans are all buddy buddy with the NCR. GREETING So long as the Khans keep making it, I keep getting high. GREETING Someone is targeting us, I'm gonna kill that fucker if we find out who did it. GREETING Motor Runner dead? Who the fuck gonna run the show now? GREETING Kimball dead, maybe the NCR will learn to stay the fuck out of{outta} other people's business. GREETING That NCR prez survived a Legion hit? Wouldn'ta guessed. GREETING NCR is going to be rip shit about losing their little train. GREETING House all dead, we should hit the Strip. Rip shit up. GREETING House dead, Strip can belong to anyone who wants it. Fiends to rule. GREETING People all scared of those robots on the Strip since they changed. Like who needs the Strip anyway? GREETING You ever think about being a Ranger? GREETING I'd gladly fight at your side. GREETING You got my respect. GREETING {Player in combat}Leave me out of your fight! GREETING Welcome to the Casa Madrid. If you got an itch needs scratching, you came to the right place. Just watch how you treat the merchandise. GREETING Welcome to the Casa - so long as you didn't come here to sell that scrawny ass of yours around here. GREETING I'm not hiring new girls - all slots filled, you could say - and my arrangements with Marco are exclusive. GREETING {Anderson dead}I don't know what went on between you and Anderson, but leave me out of it. GREETING This job's boring enough without talking to you. Go see Alexander. GREETING Alexander doesn't pay me to talk. GREETING We're just muscle. Alexander's the man to talk to. GREETING Hang on there, traveler. You'll want to steer clear of this place - the whole town is irradiated to high hell. GREETING How are you coming with the dog tags? GREETING You're back. What can I do for you? GREETING {Drunk, pathetic}Ya got any change, man? I've got five kids to feed. GREETING {Drunk rambling}You're a crazy son of a bitch, you hear me! The Tops!? Ha! Crazy. GREETING {Drunk, pathetic}Ya got any change, man? I've got five kids to feed. GREETING {Drunk rambling}Yeah I saw Benny running through here! He had the fear of the devil {in-im}in him! GREETING {Drunk rambling}You killed ol' cheeser!? They said he was a God! Ha, who ever heard of a God of cheese? GREETING {Drunk rambling}Cheeser's dead!? They said he was a God! Ha, who ever heard of a God of cheese? GREETING {Drunk rambling}There are many good things in life, but peeing is definitely the best. GREETING {Drunk upset}Hey! Don't poke me! GREETING {Drunk upset}Ow! Why are you poking me! GREETING {Drunk upset, you gotta}You've got to keep {yer}your bitches in line! GREETING {Drunk upset, you gotta}You've got to keep {yer}your bitches in line! GREETING {Drunk upset}Go bother someone else. GREETING {Drunk rambling}A man is never drunk if he can lie on the floor without holding on. GREETING {Drunk cheer}Woooooo! GREETING {Drunk confused}Where'd {da}The {kins}Kings go? GREETING {Drunk happy}Hey doc! You got any Fixer?! I've got a bender planned that would make a hobo cry. GREETING {Drunk, scared whisper}I think your friend wants to eat me! Please don't let him! GREETING {Drunk, wistful}Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful busty brahmin riding a caravaneer off into the sunset... Wait I don't think that came out right. GREETING {Drunk rambling}I'll give you five caps for the {robe-it}robot! GREETING {Drunk rambling}Your ghoul friend looks shifty. Watch your pockets, buddy! GREETING It doesn't matter if they restrict the water. We can get it elsewhere now. GREETING Heard some of the Locals were attacked recently. Serves 'em right! GREETING Some friends of mine were attacked the other night. Someone should do something. GREETING One of these days I'll say up enough to get out of here. One of these days... GREETING A guy I know said there's some kind of cannibal army camped out to the east. GREETING Watch yourself if you go into one of them casinos, or you'll be stuck here like the rest of us in no time. GREETING The NCR should just take this place over. Their army's big enough. GREETING The Kings say they're keeping the peace, but this place is as violent as ever. GREETING Did you go over by the train station last night? Bless those people. GREETING It's almost time to head down to the train station. It's all I look forward to anymore. GREETING Hey stranger, if you're hungry, there's a man around here somewhere telling people where to get free food and water. GREETING You going over to the station tonight, too? GREETING Watch out for Fiends. GREETING We don't need the NCR. GREETING {Carlitos speaks all his dialogue like a gangster out of luck, still heavily affected by slang, tone and sarcastic demeanor}Hey, do you mind? I'm trying to drink myself to the ground, right here. Scram. GREETING Hey, scram. Come bug me when I'm at the diner... if you're a real pain in the ass. GREETING {Terrified and alarmed. Yelling to everyone around. Monsters got free.}Run! Beasts got free! GREETING {Terrified and alarmed. Yelling to everyone around. Monsters got free.}Deathclaws are loose! Get out of here! GREETING {Terrified and alarmed. Yelling to everyone around. Monsters got free.}It can't be! How the hell... GREETING {Terrified and alarmed. Yelling to everyone around. Monsters got free.}Holy shit! Run for your lives! GREETING {Excited to watch creatures fight}What a fight! GREETING Charging a casino full of heavily-armed gangsters was a great idea, boss. Definitely not the kind of thing that could have gotten us both killed. GREETING Not to worry, boss. I'm sure killing the boss of one of the Families will in no way lead to savage, bloody reprisals against you and your loved ones. GREETING If we run, we might still catch Benny! Well, you might. I'll just be wheezing along behind you. GREETING You really enjoy dragging me into situations where I get shot at, don't you boss? GREETING Ahh, overly-elaborate mob schemes to take over Vegas. Reminds me of the days before the War. GREETING {Hushed, slightly awed and actually not sarcastic for once}I can't believe we're allowed inside the Lucky 38. That place has been a legend since before the War.... GREETING Angry soldier robots with bazookas. I'm sure they'll be a good police force. GREETING Maybe I'm just old and tired, but being locked in a cool, dark pod to sleep for a few centuries doesn't sound so bad. GREETING {Vaguely grossed out by seeing a guy's body explode}Eesh, boss. Just... eesh. GREETING Don't worry boss, I'm sure Caesar just wants to invite you over for coffee or something. That's all. GREETING Hey boss, that surgery reminded me of something: I got this funny lump right down here... think you could take a look at it? GREETING I'm glad you decided to off one of the most powerful men in the Mojave. Life was getting boring anyways. Really. GREETING Yeah, Caesar, let's give you brain surgery in a tent. That can't possibly go wrong. GREETING Caesar's death reminds me of an old saying. I can't quite remember it now, something like sic semper tyrannosaurus."" GREETING Oh, good. Now there's an army of robots. You don't do things by halves, do you, boss? GREETING Did blowing up that vault serve a purpose, or do you just like explosions? GREETING {Pity}Those poor NCR soldiers... now where will they get their hookers and gambling? GREETING Be honest, you did it for the ticker-tape parades, huh boss? GREETING Don't worry, boss. I'll make sure your biography says you heroically changed your mind" about killing the president GREETING Just to be clear, we're not planning to visit any NCR facilities, right boss? Like, ever again? GREETING Well, the President's dead, but don't worry. History has shown that that sort of thing almost never leads to massive destabilizations or world wars. GREETING Never been a big fan of gangs like the Fiends, boss. I'm glad they're gone. GREETING The Khans didn't seem so bad to me, but what do I know? I was locked up in a cell by a crazy Nightkin for years. GREETING Do you often go toe-to-toe with guys dressed as tanks, boss? That might not be great for your life expectancy. GREETING I'm sure pissing off a ruthless warlord with a tribe of fanatically-devoted warriors was a good move. How could it not be? It was your idea. GREETING I'm sure pissing off a massive government with a huge army at its disposal was a good move. How could it not be? It was your idea. GREETING I'm sure pissing off the two most powerful factions in the Mojave was a good move. How could it not be? It was your idea. GREETING Don't worry, boss. I'm sure the sudden tension in the air is just... {desperately searching for an explanation}a thunderstorm? GREETING Okay, so maybe I was wrong about the thunderstorm thing. I admit it. GREETING {Quiet, somber, usual sarcasm replaced by seriousness}Looks like this is gonna be the big one, boss. If you're ready, I'm with you. GREETING What can I do for you, boss? GREETING Took you long enough. So, can I go now? GREETING I haven't heard a fresh batch of crazy coming out of the radio in a while. Does that mean I can leave? GREETING Back again? Can I go this time, or do you have something else in mind? GREETING Oh, it's you. You need something repaired or something? GREETING Fancy meeting you here, friend. GREETING Hey there, friend. GREETING Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit, if it ain't my old friend from Goodsprings! GREETING Well... don't that beat all - it's my old friend from Goodsprings! GREETING Well howdy, pardner! You made it out of Goodsprings no worse for the wear. Good for you. GREETING I reckon you'll be tracking down that varmint now. A man puts you in a grave has it coming if you ask me. GREETING Damn, son, you look like ten miles of bad road. GREETING A piece of advice: Watch yourself around No-Bark... I think he's studying to be a half-wit. GREETING Oh... Hello. I am Michael Angelo. How can I- GREETING Uh... wait. Are you here to deliver more billboard requests? Please tell me you're not a messenger on behalf of Mr. House. GREETING {Studying player}Looks like we got a new visitor in the ol' Brahmin pen. {Beat}Not many people coming here in a hurry, only passing through. GREETING {Sighs}And if you're passing through, you picked a bad time. Road north has gone to hell, and if I let a caravan through, they won't make it. GREETING {Angry}Die, NCR filth! GREETING {Peaceful, accepting}Thank you for your advice. You've helped me see more clearly. GREETING {Battle cry}Flails of God! GREETING {Suspicious}Who are you? How did you find this place? GREETING You're back. Any progress on saving our skins? GREETING {Awed}You're some kind of hero, huh? I heard about how you saved the President's life. That's incredible. GREETING You've heard the news about President Kimball? {Relieved}Thank God he survived, but I hope the Rangers hunt down the miserable traitor that tried to kill him. GREETING {Shocked, numb}I just can't believe it... the President's dead. It doesn't even feel real. GREETING Swank filled me in about Benny. Hell of a thing, baby. Hell of a thing. GREETING Oh, come on, baby, we just got this place cleaned up after your last visit! GREETING Hey hey! Welcome, welcome, welcome to the finest entertainment experience in New Vegas! My name is Tommy Torini, and how can I make your night? GREETING Hey hey! Welcome, welcome, welcome to the finest entertainment experience in New Vegas! My name is Tommy Torini, and how can I make your day? GREETING Well, well, well, if it ain't the best-loved cat on the Strip in my theater! What can Tommy do for you, baby? GREETING Now baby, you know I welcome everybody here at the Aces, but I gotta ask you to keep any mayhem to a minimum, you dig? GREETING This new act is out of sight, baby! We're bringing in the caps like a Nuka-Cola bottling plant! GREETING You doing right by Tommy, baby. Two new acts? We're making this joint jump! GREETING Damn, baby, you bringing in so many acts the Rad Pack's taking half the night off! I'm seriously thinking about charging them for the free liquor. GREETING I got to hand it to you, baby, you did an 18-karat job on this one. My schedule's so full I couldn't put on new acts if I wanted to! GREETING Welcome back! Here for another fine entertainment experience? GREETING Howdy there, partner. GREETING {In agony}Unnnh... please... help me. GREETING Thanks for getting me down from that cross. I owe you one. GREETING Thanks again for saving my ass. GREETING Get away from me, you lunatic! GREETING Anders told me what happened. We owe you one for rescuing him. Tell you what: I can give you caps as a thank you, or a special recipe Jack cooked up. GREETING Any luck finding Anders? GREETING You're not one of my regulars. What do you want? GREETING I've been hearing a lot of good things about you. What's up? GREETING Hey! Seems like you've been making lots of friends around here. GREETING {Wary, the player is an unpredictable nutter}Oh, uh, hey - Jack can probably give you a discount, if that'll calm you down. GREETING Look, we'll be happy to sell you any chems you want, just don't do anything crazy, okay? GREETING If there's something you want, spill it - otherwise, move along. GREETING Make it quick - I don't want to be seen with you. GREETING Dammit, someone offed Motor-Runner! That guy was one of our biggest clients. GREETING Someone's been picking off the leaders of the Fiends down in New Vegas. That's going to cut into our profits. GREETING Did you make that delivery yet? GREETING Hey, what's up? GREETING Whoa. New guy. GREETING Whoa. New chick. GREETING Hey, look who it is bringing that good Khan karma around! GREETING How's my most favoritest friend? GREETING You seriously ought to mellow out, take some chill pills. I could sell you some, if you want. GREETING You seem really... high-strung. You know, I'm sure some of what I make my chems out of was an antipsychotic at some point.... GREETING I'm all for live and let live, you know, but a lot of folks around here... umm... aren't. GREETING Why do you have to harsh my mellow? Just be cool, you dig? GREETING Hey, what's up? GREETING You're the one making a name for yourself among the troops, aren't you? What is it you need? GREETING Ah, the vaunted hero of the Legion. What can I do for you? GREETING You've been quite difficult to predict, my friend. I hope I can sway you more solidly to the Legion's way of thinking. GREETING Caesar is not fond of loose cannons like yourself. I sincerely hope you change your ways before something drastic must occur. GREETING I've been warned about you. You are perilously close to making an enemy of Caesar, and that is not wise. GREETING I understand you've been invited to meet with Caesar. You should be aware of the honor you've been granted. GREETING If we weren't in Khan territory I would kill you where you stand. Caesar will be avenged! GREETING Caesar's death was tragic, but do not think that it will break the Legion's resolve. GREETING Caesar's veterans will arrive from Arizona soon, and there will be no stopping our victory. GREETING Greetings in the name of {KAI-zar}Caesar. GREETING I understand you've been talking to the Great Khans about breaking their oaths to great Caesar. I would call that... unwise. GREETING I'm so much happier now. Thank you again. GREETING {Sullen youth, has just been surprised doing something embarassinng}What do you want? GREETING {Sarcastic}Oh look, it's the conformist tool. GREETING {Sarcastic}How much ass did you have to kick to get Papa Khan to like you so much? GREETING {Thinks the player is totally cool, but doesn't want to admit it}Oh, hey. What's up? GREETING I can't believe you're talking to me, this is so cool! I mean, uh... dude, what's up? GREETING You going to make fun of me too? GREETING I really don't want to deal with this right now. GREETING {Sullen youth}What? GREETING {FIRST TALK, TROUBLE}{slow burn}You're the courier who's caused so much trouble for my Legion, and yet you dare come before me. GREETING I heard you were wandering around. Haven't gotten yourself arrested yet, huh? GREETING This is just swell - Benny vamooses and I'm left holding the bag. Whaddya need, kid? GREETING Heya baby, good to see you. Always nice to have a celebrity drop by. GREETING Got to admit, baby, I'm surprised to see you walking around like this. Figured you for persona non grata around here. GREETING Kid, you better have a good reason for waltzing back in here and not expecting us to fill you full of lead. So talk. GREETING Jesus. Benny's dead, and now I gotta take up the slack. This right here is the end of an era. GREETING {draw out hello;" this whole line is flirty}Hello GREETING Hey there, pal! Welcome to the Tops, and what can I do for you today? GREETING You did good, putting those Omerta finks in their place. I never did trust them. GREETING So all of a sudden I'm hearing word that Mr. House ain't the boss of Vegas? Baby, that's just not square. GREETING Little birdies tell me you've been to visit the Lucky 38 - {mildly suspicious}not a lot of folks go in there these days. GREETING Hey, doll, how's my favorite girl? Got a kiss for me? GREETING Couldn't stay away, huh baby? Shoulda known. What can I do for you? GREETING Something else you need? GREETING You did a super job wrapping things up! And I'm not just saying that because I have to! GREETING I didn't want to make a big deal about this until after we won, but, {draw out}well... GREETING I found some code snippets in one of Mr. House's databanks that will let me, um, reprogram my personality! To be a little more assertive, basically! GREETING So that's what I'm going to be doing, and it's going to take me a while, so it'll seem like I'm off-line. But don't worry, everything will be okay! GREETING I've updated the Securitrons' targeting parameters, so they know what to do! Vegas will be protected! GREETING So that's where I'll be, off making a few changes, and I... I guess I'll see you around! GREETING {bye-bye}We accomplished a lot together! It was fun! Take care! GREETING Hell of a thing about Chief Hanlon. I never would have guessed he was capable of it. GREETING I've been hearing some rumors from the Embassy that Mr. House has gone quiet all of a sudden. You wouldn't know anything about that, would you? GREETING Nice work dealing with Caesar. That'll make holding the Mojave a lot easier. GREETING Have you seen these elite rangers they sent us from California? God damn those boys are gonna kick some ass! GREETING Nice work with that assassination attempt! If my troops were half as dedicated as you, we'd win the war in a week! GREETING Looks like the President's security detail was too good for you, huh, shitbird? GREETING You oughta die for what you did. GREETING Not like I even voted for him, but losing the President's a hell of a morale killer. GREETING I just got word that 1st Recon is being mobilized to Nelson. God forbid we get any reinforcements here, right? GREETING Seems the Misfits scored pretty well on their readiness evaluations. That strikes me as... suspicious. GREETING I gotta admit, I'm impressed. The Misfits are drilling better than I ever expected. GREETING I'm not sure what's going on with the Misfits - their accuracy is in the toilet, but they're spoiling for a fight like I ain't never seen. GREETING Well, their test scores are only marginally improved, but I'm hearing good things about the Misfits' teamwork. GREETING Ah, hell, what is it now? GREETING {Pleased to see the player}What can I do for you? GREETING You here to help, or just dick around all day? GREETING {Very pleased to see the player}Hot damn, look who it is! GREETING {Frazzled and annoyed}Oh, great, like I don't have enough problems! GREETING {Cold}What the hell do you want? GREETING What the hell do you want, you vicious son of a bitch? GREETING What the hell do you want, you vicious bitch? GREETING So you're back. What else do you want? GREETING Okay, everybody's lined up and ready to go. Any suggestions? GREETING Okay, we've got our dummy grenades and the course is live. We're all set. GREETING The squad really seems to be working together better. It's nice, for a change. GREETING What the hell happened with these readiness reports? These scores are way too high! GREETING Thanks to your help, I feel like we can take on the world! GREETING I don't know what Razz gave us, but holy shit this is great! I feel like I could kill an entire legion! With my teeth! GREETING Haven't seen you around before, soldier. GREETING Not very often we see civilians on-base. What's you're story? GREETING I heard Chief Hanlon committed suicide. That's just... hard to believe. Do you know anything about it? GREETING I hear Caesar's dead, and we've got you to thank for it. Nice work. GREETING I hear Caesar's dead. Maybe that means the war will be over soon. GREETING I've got a friend stationed at McCarran - I heard something about a monorail explosion there. I hope he's okay. GREETING Radio says you stopped the President's assassin cold. Not bad. GREETING You're lucky you haven't been shot walking in here after that assassination attempt. GREETING You're lucky you haven't been shot walking in here after you killed the president. GREETING Hell of a battle at Nelson. I'm impressed our troops survived. GREETING Everybody's been really nervous since President Kimball died. I don't know what's going to happen. GREETING Hell of a battle at Forlorn Hope. I hope the brass can do something for the troopers' families. GREETING There's some weird chatter on the radio saying something wiped out Nelson and Forlorn Hope. That's pretty scary. GREETING I'm not supposed to know this, but I hear they're dispatching elite ranger units from California to deal with the Legion. GREETING So now the word is Caesar's calling in his elite troops from Arizona. I don't think we're going to catch a break any time soon. GREETING A bunch of units just got mobilized to Hoover Dam. This is the big one, isn't it? GREETING Glad to see you haven't gotten yourself killed yet. GREETING {sarcastic}Man, the brass is going to be thrilled that you're here. GREETING Friendly warning, you might want to steer clear of NCR facilities. You're not exactly popular. GREETING {A little starstruck but trying to be nonchalant}Wow, the big celebrity down here with the common troopers. What can I do for you? GREETING You're not going to do anything crazy, are you? It's just, you know... the paperwork.... GREETING How'd you get in here without getting shot? GREETING Mess with any of the equipment here and I'll mount your head on a stick. GREETING Stay out of the control room and enclosure or there's gonna be trouble, got it? GREETING Look all you want, just don't mess with any of the equipment. The control room's off-limits, and so is the enclosure. GREETING Mess with any of the equipment here and I'll mount your head on a stick. GREETING Stay out of the control room and enclosure or there's gonna be trouble, got it? GREETING Look all you want, just don't mess with any of the equipment. The control room's off-limits, and so is the enclosure. GREETING Let me see what you got. Yeah, these'll do just fine. Just fine. GREETING All right now. We're gonna be making something folks on the trail call Healing Powder. GREETING Go on over to that campfire now. Give it a try. GREETING {Derisive}Only thing you're good for is target practice. GREETING {Threatening}Bet you'd blow up real good. GREETING {threatening}Watch your step, Outsider. GREETING {Open Threat}I got a shell with your name on it. GREETING I can spot a Brotherhood spy from a thousand yards. Even the cute ones. GREETING {serious}I don't believe there's anything left for us to talk about. GREETING Go on. Go fetch a ranger and do this right. GREETING Sorting and manipulating intelligence is what I do. It's what rangers are supposed to do. GREETING {joking a bit}This job isn't all gunfighting and gulping shots of whiskey, no matter what the boys and ladies out there say. GREETING I've lost all respect for you. GREETING If you're an enemy of the NCR, you're an enemy of mine. Get out of my sight. GREETING Goddamn it! Don't sneak up on me like that. What do you want? GREETING Hey. You. You wandered into town recently, right? GREETING Get the hell away! We're done talking. GREETING Welcome, child! Took your sweet time getting here, didn't you? GREETING I've been waiting a good five years for an outsider to come along and visit! GREETING {Hated}Fuck off. GREETING Who the hell are you? I know you weren't one of the inmates. GREETING What the fuck have you done? We needed that sulfur! GREETING Have you wiped out those geckos yet? GREETING Ah, the outsider who gained our master's favor. You prove yourself as cunning as the rumors report. GREETING A pleasure to meet you! I'm Dr. Thomas Hildern, Director of Operations, OSI East. I presume you're here about Vault 22? GREETING Well howdy, pardner! Good to see ya again. Boss is waiting for ya upstairs, so get a move on! GREETING Appreciate the help. Wish I had more work for you, but nothing else on the radar at the moment. GREETING I'm helping Doctor Henry with his experiment right now, dear. Come see me again in a bit. GREETING You should go talk to Blake or Alice, they handle most of our contact with visitors. GREETING You should go talk to Blake or Alice, they handle most of our contact with visitors. GREETING I've never seen a ghoul up close. Not sure I wanted to. GREETING That thing is housebroken, right? GREETING I like you big mutants. You're easy to sight. GREETING It was such an honor to be here today. I'm so lucky. GREETING I'm too young to die! GREETING Maybe that guy Fantastic wasn't an idiot. Maybe he was a genius. GREETING I'm heading to Gomorrah next time I get some time off. GREETING I sure hope I get to meet President Kimball. GREETING I wonder if the President will come this way again, he had kind of a close call I hear. GREETING Mormon caravan from New Canaan came through the other day. GREETING If you need a place to stay, check out Vault 21. GREETING I've heard about you. GREETING It's good to see you around the Strip. GREETING I'm looking forward to getting sent across the river. GREETING I hear the NCR and the Kings have been getting along. That's good news for Freeside. GREETING I hear the Legion's fixing to attack Hoover Dam. Good thing I ain't there. GREETING I hear the Great Khans just packed up and left Red Rock Canyon. Always thought the NCR and them would fight it out again. GREETING I'll mind my business, you mind yours. GREETING I've got nothing to say to you. Best move on. GREETING What do you need? GREETING I've got nothing to say to you. Best move on. GREETING President Kimball is really well spoken. GREETING Not right now. President Kimball is giving his speech. GREETING {Curious}You turned around? GREETING {Fortunate}When I get back home, I'll tell everyone I met you. GREETING Step up to the tables, let's see what you got. GREETING {Frustrated}Almost outta caps... GREETING {Dumbfounded}I can't believe you've got the gall to stroll down the Strip after what you've done. GREETING {Doubtful Apprehension}Maybe someone else in the Strip can help you? GREETING {Feeling Observed and Self-Conscious}If you don't mind, I rather we don't talk right now. GREETING {Dumbfounded}How the hell did the monorail blow up? Someone's bringing back luck into the Strip, I tell you. GREETING {Apprehensive}Kimball's dead, I wonder how long until the Legion's at our walls. GREETING {Almost Alarmed}The owner of the Vault was murdered. I thought we were safe inside the Strip. GREETING {Contemplative Comment}I like the place, but I wouldn't want to live underground all my life. GREETING {Marveled}Can you imagine how much electricity it takes to keep this Vault running? GREETING {Marveled}People lived in here for hundreds of years, can you imagine? GREETING {Slight Disappointment}I wish the rest of the Vault were accessible. GREETING {Benny escaped}That prisoner, Benny, managed to slip away somehow. GREETING Move along. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Arcade}{pretending surprise}Imagine, a Follower brave enough to leave Freeside. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Rex}The dog is part-machine... but its brain is flesh. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Raul}{disgusted by ghoul's appearance}What a revolting sight. {incredulous}To call that a friend? GREETING {Companion Reaction - ED-E}That machine looks like a floating eye. I don't like it. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Lily}How does one get that blue monster to obey? GREETING {Fearful Suspicion}I've seen what those creatures do, and I don't know how you trust them. GREETING {Hopeful}Those Legion beasts needed to be put down, like the vermin they are! GREETING {Hopeful}Did you hear about the Legion Defeat at Nelson? We're winning back our territories. GREETING {Indifferent}As long as the Khans leave our lands alone, I don't care what happens. GREETING {celebratory}I always knew House would give in! Sixth state of the union, here we come! GREETING {Encouraged}I'd wager that the army's sending elite units our way, right as we speak. GREETING {Pessimistic}Bitter Springs... a name like that could've only brought bad luck. GREETING {Cautious}I'll believe that the Fiends are gone when they stop their raiding and pillaging. GREETING {Hindsight}Should've bet we'd kill the Fiend's leader. GREETING {Dumbfounded}Everywhere I go, people are talking about our President's assassination. GREETING {Avarice}With House out of the way, I hope someone opens the Lucky 38. GREETING {Disdainful}I see you prefer the company of anarchic cultists to civilized peoples. GREETING {Incredulous}What makes you think I give a damn about you? GREETING {Apprehension}Just, don't do anything crazy. GREETING {Genuine Appreciation}I hope you're doing well, friend! GREETING {Dismissive}Don't bother me, please. GREETING {Fearful yet Determined}This is it. War's almost upon us. GREETING {Feeling Fortunate}Word is you're getting popular in The Strip. GREETING {Hopeful}I've heard that elite units are on the way to support our armies here. GREETING {Fearful}War doesn't forgive anybody, but what did we do to deserve this? GREETING {Dismissive}Those Freeside thugs aren't worth our time anymore. GREETING {Assertive}Khans are history, it serves them right! GREETING {Disbelief}Did you hear about Hanlon? What a blow! GREETING {Fearful Anger}You killed him! What have we done to you? GREETING {Indignated}I hear some asshole freed our enemy from McCarran. GREETING {Deep Concern}Someone blew up the Monorail, right by our troops! GREETING {Celebratory}With Mr. House dead and gone, Vegas can finally join the NCR! GREETING {Intrigued}Your robot looks worth quite a few caps. GREETING {Thoughtful Naivete}If the Legion can equip their men so well, maybe they can take care of me too. GREETING {Lucky 38 re-lit}The great tower of the enemy city blazes with light. What does it mean? GREETING {Lucky 38 re-lit}It turns out the Lucky 38 had its own reactor all along. Now that it's operational, the city doesn't need power from the dam. GREETING {Hated 1}You're just as bad as the NCR or the Legion. What did the Followers ever do to you? GREETING {Hated 2}People like you are the reason the Followers haven't brought civilization back to the wasteland yet. GREETING {Hated 3}I don't know what you have against the Followers, but I don't want any trouble. GREETING {Liked 1}You're always welcome among the Followers, friend. GREETING {Liked 2}The Followers are lucky to have a friend like you. GREETING {Liked 3}If you ever need the assistance of the Followers, just ask. GREETING {Mixed 1}You're making it hard to trust you, you know. GREETING {Mixed 2}At least you've making up for some of the trouble you've caused. GREETING {Mixed 3}They said you're friendly enough, but that we ought to keep an eye on you. GREETING That President Kimball nearly got killed at Hoover Dam. Now he knows how we feel about the NCR around here. GREETING That tower on the Strip, the one you can see for miles? I hear it ain't sealed-up no more. GREETING Nelson and Camp Forlorn Hope, both butchered. It's almost like God don't like either side. GREETING The Legion is attacking! Run for your lives! GREETING {Wistful}Vegas at night is like nothing else. GREETING {Unsure}The robots here look different than others I've seen. GREETING Shame about the fighting at the Tops; it's got the best patrons around here, hands down! GREETING {Slightly Patriotic}Us NCR folk got to stick together, even if the Strip is the safest place in New Vegas. GREETING Beats being on patrol. GREETING Just lost a month's caps... GREETING Some Khans got corned in the ruins of Boulder City and the NCR killed them. It's like Bitter Springs all over again. GREETING Someone finally put down that sick Motor Runner sonofabitch. Good riddance. GREETING So I hear the honcho of one of them Strip families up and disappeared - poof! Yeah, they'll find his body someday... GREETING Your victory is the Legion's victory. True to {KAI-zar}Caesar. GREETING You are to be commended on your martial skill. GREETING The Legion would have to be insane to attack this place. GREETING The sound of the generators is really quite calming. GREETING You're the one who busted those assholes at Gomorrah, huh? Good work! GREETING The bosses of the {saying it wrong}Omergas? Omer-nas? The ones that run Gomorrah? Someone killed them. GREETING I hear someone went crazy in one of the casinos on the Strip, shot the place up or something! GREETING I can't believe it. Caesar's Legion attacks in force, and I actually survived! GREETING Unngh... why do I feel so terrible? GREETING I'm glad those nighttime raids have stopped. I was getting worried. GREETING Here to meet with the brass? GREETING You oughtta think about enlisting. We need you here. GREETING Lot of folks at McCarran really appreciate what you've done. GREETING This ain't your business. Walk off and forget you saw anything. GREETING Hello and welcome to Gomorrah. How can I help you? GREETING Hey there, can I get you a drink, maybe a party favor? GREETING You looking for a good time? GREETING What the fuck are you looking at? GREETING What the fuck are you looking at? GREETING If I wasn't working right now, I'd show you a real nice time. GREETING Enjoying the show? GREETING I wouldn't mind taking a bite of you. GREETING Damn, you're looking tasty. GREETING Securitrons with faces like soldiers? Is this martial law or something? What the fuck? GREETING So Mr. House sells Vegas out to the NCR, {ay}eh? I always knew that freak was a rat. GREETING What the fuck's up with the Lucky 38 being lit up all the time, {ay}eh? GREETING Shit, I can't believe Cachino betrayed the Family. GREETING I got kicked outta Ultra Luxe the other day. Man, that place gives me the fucking creeps. GREETING Business is good. All the Familes got money. Of course Gomorrah is where the action is. GREETING I'm glad they don't let just any motherfucker through the gate. Freeside smells like shit. GREETING Fiends are bad for business. NCR should do their fucking job. GREETING There's some serious shit going on between NCR and the Legion. They better not fuck with our power. GREETING Fuck Not-At-Home, must be cozy up there in the Lucky 38. GREETING Bosses don't like no trouble in their place. GREETING Gomorrah is always open for Business.{Spoken like business has two meanings} GREETING Find yourself a girl or a guy. Have some fun. GREETING I think there is something wrong with that dog. GREETING Uh{hesitates}, I don't think we allow{uh} her kind in here.{pause} I'll let it go this time though. GREETING What the fuck is that thing? GREETING Big tough ranger better not start any trouble in here. GREETING Let me know if the pretty lady with you is looking for some work. GREETING That Follower fucker is going to have some trouble if he tries to liberate any of our employees. GREETING Kings sold out to the NCR huh? Might be worth a sit down with them. GREETING Word on the street is something big is about to go down at Hoover Dam. GREETING I hear you been making some waves around here. GREETING I hear the Legion is moving some new tough muscle into the area. NCR better keep their heads down. GREETING Kings were small time. Not surprised they got themselves iced. GREETING Those fucking Monkey Khans joined the NCR? I can't believe they finally got themselves civilized. GREETING Khans finally got what they had coming. Glad we won't have to worry about them again. GREETING You hear what happened over at Bitter Springs? Not too pretty. GREETING Kimball managed to get himself knocked off. Serves him right. GREETING I hear Kimball dodged a bullet there. GREETING The NCR seems none too happy about losing their little train. GREETING Glad that fucker House is gone. GREETING Woah, the great Caesar is dead. The management doesn't seem too happy. GREETING I hear Mr. House cashed out. Ain't much to miss. GREETING {Amazed}Holy shit, you been in Lucky 38? You meet the Big Man in there? GREETING Things are good since Cachino took over. GREETING I hear you chased that chicken shit Benny off. Good riddance. GREETING Did Benny beg before you burned his sorry ass? GREETING {Laughs}Nice work at the Tops, buddy. GREETING Welcome back to Gomorrah, find yourself a girl or a guy, and have a drink. You're family. GREETING Your ghoul wants to have some fun he can, we don't discriminate. GREETING I tell you, Not-At-Home is gonna have his day. GREETING {This space left intentionally blank} GREETING Hello, wanderer. Please forgive us of our humble surroundings. Our true home awaits us in the Far Beyond. GREETING Have you come to help us complete the Great Journey? GREETING They tell me I'm supposed to sell you weapons. Interested? GREETING What's up with the tower in Vegas being all lit up? I didn't know it could do that. GREETING Even that old House bastard gave in to the NCR. We're the only ones to make a stand! GREETING What are we going to do now that Papa's dead? GREETING Doc seems to be doing all right patching people up, at least. GREETING I never thought they'd actually send us reinforcements. GREETING Welcome to Bitter Springs. {Sarcastic}Quite a sight, isn't it? GREETING I hear there's a ghost in these mountains... and it doesn't like the NCR much. GREETING Not enough food, not enough medicine, and definitely not enough sleep. GREETING I don't know how we're expected to hold this place with so few men. GREETING All these refugees... is Caesar's Legion really that big? GREETING This is the worst detail in the Mojave. GREETING Can't believe the Legion hit us in such numbers. They're stronger than we think. GREETING I coughed up blood this morning. I think I'm really sick. GREETING No attacks for a while now. That's a good sign, right? GREETING I think there's something wrong with the food. GREETING I swear I saw somebody sneaking out of the graveyard the other night. GREETING Lieutenant Markland always looks like he's afraid the kids are gonna bite him. GREETING Markland seems to be getting better with his bedside manner. GREETING Finally got enough pills to chase off that damn infection. GREETING Doc's gotten real handy with the kids these days. GREETING Hope the Doc can give me some meds this week. GREETING Nice to see more guards on patrol. Maybe Caesar won't murder us all. GREETING Finally starting to get some decent food around here. GREETING Not enough soldiers here to stop Caesar if he rolls through. GREETING So tired.... GREETING Haven't had a decent meal in weeks. GREETING Legion just came out of nowhere. GREETING Fiends... cracked-out junkies. All those chems make them a real bitch to take down. GREETING We should be taking the fight to the Legion, not waiting for them to pick us apart. GREETING I really hope General Oliver has a good plan if the Legion comes back. GREETING Colonel Hsu really knows what he's doing. Now if only someone'd explain that to ol' General Wait-and-See Oliver... GREETING I pity anyone who crosses Boyd. That woman is relentless. GREETING We still haven't gotten Ranger Morales' body back from the Fiends. Sure doesn't inspire confidence in the guys you're serving with. GREETING Damn shame about Morales. She enlisted to be closer to her husband. GREETING Contreras is holding out on me. I know he's got more to sell. GREETING Man, Doc Kemp really fixed me up right the last time I got shot. He's the man to see if you need some fixin'. GREETING Farber is doing the best with what he's got, but man could I go for a nice cut of brahmin steak. GREETING Hope you like it here at McCarran. GREETING Make yourself at home here. It's cozy... for an airport. GREETING Checking in with the base, huh? GREETING I can't believe it's over. I figured the Dam would fall and this place would be our last stand. GREETING Fight's gonna break out at the Dam any time now. Feels strange not being there for it. GREETING The cavalry's finally here. God bless the boys in black. GREETING Word is, our Ranger vets are finally coming up from Baja. The Legion should be pissing their togas. GREETING First Recon is holding Forlorn Hope now. What I wouldn't give for sniper support here. GREETING With both Nelson and Camp Forlorn Hope gone, you have to wonder when McCarran's gonna get attacked. GREETING I've always known Camp Forlorn Hope was a death sentence. I just wish I'd been wrong. GREETING They're saying we retook Nelson. Finally some good news. GREETING Brotherhood's been quiet lately. Guess they finally realized Rangers beat power armor every time. GREETING Heard the Kings have turned over a new leaf. Doesn't mean you'll see me in Freeside any time soon. GREETING I've been seeing a lot of dead Fiends lately. Damn psychos had it coming. GREETING Are you the one that killed Motor-Runner? Thank God. That guy was a living nightmare. GREETING Bad time to lose Chief Hanlon. He'd have had Caesar running scared. GREETING The most important POW we've ever taken and he gets away. He must've had help. GREETING How could we fail to protect our own monorail? GREETING Caesar's dead. So when do we go home? GREETING Damn that was some light show out there. GREETING That was blinding out there. Feels like I've been staring at the sun. GREETING Is the plant actually working again? GREETING I'm surprised they didn't send you somewhere more vital. GREETING Wow, what are you doing at HELIOS? I feel like I should salute. GREETING Hope you can stay. We could use your expertise here. GREETING What'd you do wrong to get sent here? Thought you were an up-and-comer. GREETING Are you supporting us here? We'll take what we can get. GREETING Welcome to HELIOS One. GREETING The attacks have stopped. Winning the dam saved our asses. GREETING We lost Forlorn Hope. The eastern front is collapsing. They'll be here next. GREETING Thank God we took back Nelson. Now they'll have a harder time hitting us here. GREETING Heard the Brotherhood got smoked. Guess somebody finished what we started. GREETING With Caesar dead, maybe they'll stop attacking us. GREETING This chainlink fence perimeter is worthless. We might as well be defending a cage from the inside. GREETING This place is off-limits to civilians. You don't like it, take it up with Lieutenant Haggerty. GREETING The Legion's coming for us. Just a matter of time, believe you me. GREETING Pretty sure H.Q. has forgotten all about us. GREETING That scientist we hired has got to be the dumbest asshole I've ever come across. GREETING Who knows which side the Legion's gonna hit us from next? GREETING If the Legion breaks through our defenses, I got one bullet I'm saving just for me. GREETING We should be up on the front lines, not out here in bumblefuck. This place is a junkyard. GREETING We're supposed to be relieved any day. That's what they keep telling us. I don't think anyone's coming. GREETING Forlorn Hope has fallen, another victory for {KAI-zar}Caesar. GREETING {respectful}I have heard how you cleansed Forlorn Hope of the Profligates. GREETING Nelson, Forlorn Hope... soon {KAI-zar's}Caesar's banners shall rise on Hoover Dam. GREETING Our march to the Dam is assured. GREETING With Forlorn Hope's fall, our blades are at the NCR's throat. GREETING Our machetes ran thick with blood here. GREETING I hope to {KAI-zar}Caesar that the Profligates will send more victims to us. GREETING {contempt}The Profligates here were weak, no fight in them. GREETING This is only the first settlement to fall. GREETING {contempt}The bodies of beggars and cowards fill Nelson's streets now. GREETING Dead Sea has erected a tribute to {KAI-zar}Caesar - made of Profligate corpses. GREETING When we're fortified here and reinforced, Forlorn Hope will be next. GREETING We kill only those who resist the will of {KAI-zar}Caesar. The rest are kept as tribute. GREETING Some of Nelson lives on... as slaves. They are being kept nearby. GREETING If the rest of the Profligate settlements are as weak as this, {KAI-zar's}Caesar's victory is assured. GREETING This is only part of our detachment. We have others stationed nearby. GREETING Speak to our {deh-CAN-us}Decanus, Dead Sea. GREETING We do not move unless Dead Sea commands it. GREETING {contempt}We can see the Profligate cowards stationed on the hill, afraid of us. GREETING You may walk here - but do not head west along the road. GREETING That we hold Neslon, that is {KAI-zar's}Caesar's will. GREETING You meet any of those Rangers dressed up in black yet? My friends say they're mutant cyborgs and they're going to kill us all! GREETING That new Ranger armor is downright impressive. I'd hate to be on the business end of one of their revolvers. GREETING We've already got people disappearing at night. I hear the NCR have veterans from out west coming to push us out of Freeside. GREETING I've been hearing rumors of the Rangers getting some heavy reinforcements soon. Hope they don't try to start anything around here. GREETING The NCR must have paid off the Kings big to get them to sign up. Maybe there was an NCR mole who tricked them into it! GREETING Good news for Freeside. The Kings have decided to work with NCR for a change. GREETING I hear the Kings were wiped out by some kind of Super mutant ninja assassin paid by the NCR! Who else could have taken them down?! GREETING I don't get why the Kings are dead. They weren't a bad bunch of guys. GREETING Some people are saying the Great Khans got drugged up out of their minds and attacked the dam. GREETING I heard the Khans went wild at Hoover Dam. I suppose they were looking for one last blaze of glory. GREETING I hear the Great Khans staged their own deaths to trick the NCR. GREETING People say the Khans got wiped out at Red Rock. That's one less bunch of crazies to worry about. GREETING The Great Khans aren't gone. They're just hiding, biding their time... GREETING The Great Khans moved out? One less mob of degenerates to worry about, if you ask me. GREETING The Khans signed a treaty with NCR? I've heard some crazy rumors before, but that one's rich! GREETING So, the Great Khans signed up with NCR. Who would have thought those two would settle their differences? GREETING Those sick Legion bastards had the brass balls to attack Bitter Springs? I bet that was one messy fight. GREETING Maybe it'll be a little safer to travel, now that the Fiends' bosses are dead. We owe their killer a debt of gratitude. GREETING I heard Motor Runner got taken down. Maybe the Fiends will finally destroy themselves now that he's gone. GREETING I hear Hanlon was abducted by aliens and that's why he was acting so strangely. Better check yourself for strange scars. GREETING Hanlon was apparently sabotaging NCR's efforts in the area. Now, I kind of wish he hadn't died. GREETING I hear Hanlon was working for the aliens and NCR found out. GREETING Chief Hanlon is dead? I hear that guy couldn't order himself out of a cardboard box, let alone command troops GREETING My friends say Kimball's assassination was all an Illuminati plot to reclaim power. I say they're crazy. How do you kill someone with a flashlight? GREETING Kimball getting killed is going to make a mess of things around here. The troopers coming through here are mean enough already. GREETING My friends say you're working for the Illuminati, and that's why you killed Kimball. Watch your back. {paranoid whisper}They have listening devices everywhere! GREETING Killing Kimball is going to make a mess of things around here. The troopers coming through here are mean enough already. GREETING Thanks for not killing Kimball. I hear he's been working against the secret alien invasion forces above the planet. {paranoid whisper}They want to eat our brains! GREETING So, I hear that assassination attempt on Kimball didn't quite turn out the way you planned. Now, the NCR are going to be even pissier than usual. GREETING Good job saving Kimball's life. I hear he's been working against the secret alien invasion forces above the planet. {paranoid whisper}They want to eat our brains! GREETING I suppose you did the right thing saving Kimball, even though it means we're still screwed here in Freeside. GREETING You freed that Silus guy from McCarran? Guess you've got your reasons for helping the Legion. GREETING I hear the monorail bombing was an alien plot. Just a few more gates to destroy and we're all trapped in here. GREETING I guess the monorail getting bombed wasn't all bad. Freeside is getting a lot more business now. GREETING With the monorail down, we're going to have a lot more NCR goons wandering through here. Yay... GREETING Rumor has it Mr. House joined the NCR on account of some secret love child he never even knew he had. GREETING Never thought I'd see House settle for being an NCR lapdog. What the hell happened? GREETING I think Caesar was killed by alien clone agents! The Legion are just a bunch of alien slaves doing their bidding! GREETING I hear Caesar had an alien brain chip in his head, but he died on the operating table when they tried to remove it. GREETING People say Caesar is dead. I hope someone worse doesn't replace him. GREETING You killed Caesar? Rumor around here has it he was struck down by a bad case of explosive diarrhea. GREETING All hail the slayer of Caesar! It's about time that slavemaster got his! GREETING I don't need to read no obituary to know House was an asshole. GREETING With no House to boss Vegas around, the NCR's gonna want that job. GREETING According to the rumor mill, House is faking his death to catch the NCR off-guard. GREETING House dead? Good riddance. GREETING Better give the Securitrons a wide berth if you know what's good for you. Those new upgrades look nasty. GREETING House must have special plans for you to get into the Lucky 38 and come out alive. GREETING I hear you made a real mess of the Omerta's plans. Hopefully, the new management does a better job running Gomorrah. GREETING Impressive work fighting off Benny's thugs! I know I wouldn't have survived that. GREETING I heard you made a run on The Tops. You've got guts, kid. GREETING Figures that Benny would run. Sorry coward's nobody without his thugs to back him. GREETING Private Watson sure seemed excited about meeting Kimball. GREETING I actually got to see the President. GREETING I hear President Kimball had a pretty close call with some assassins. GREETING The death of the President is going to be a permanent blight on this place. GREETING If the President of our republic isn't safe here, how can we be? GREETING Kimball died, security seemed so tight, how could such a thing happen? GREETING President Kimball is going to arrive pretty soon to give his speech and meet that wounded soldier. GREETING How do we know if Mr. House is really gone? No one's ever seen him in the first place! GREETING Colonel Moore survived four tours against the Brotherhood back west. If anyone can help take on the Legion, it's her. GREETING You hear that rumor that Colonel Moore was kicked out of Gomorrah a while back? I heard she's had it in for the Omertas ever since. GREETING I'm really surprised Colonel Moore accepted the Brotherhood's help. I heard she lost a lot of men in war with them back west. GREETING Is it true? Was there really a Brotherhood base nearby that blew sky high? GREETING I heard a rumor that Moore hired some mercs to wipe out the Khans. Is that such a good idea, with Bitter Springs still on peoples' minds back home? GREETING Man, I'm exhausted. Moore's got us running drills non-stop. GREETING Just between us, Colonel Moore scares me sometimes. GREETING Our victory was never in question. GREETING How did the Legion make it into the power plant? GREETING Let's get going! GREETING The Crimson Caravan's the biggest merchant outfit in the wasteland. GREETING Damn Brahmin crap everywhere. GREETING I'm glad Ringo's back. Got a good story to tell, too. GREETING Fucking expensive to get into the Strip these days. GREETING Keep an eye out for wildlife. GREETING When pay day hits, I'm off to the Strip. Can't wait. GREETING Did you know you have a robot following you? GREETING Whatever you're selling, we have plenty. GREETING Keep your distance, soldier. GREETING {suspicious}A doctor? Who's your supplier? GREETING Idle thumbs tend to get blown off around here. Get moving. GREETING Sorry, I've got work to take care of. GREETING I'd keep moving if I was you. GREETING {Dismissive}Go back to the Strip where you belong. GREETING You're nothing like us, Outsider. GREETING We should have never let you in. GREETING You're no different than a common Fiend. GREETING What are you looking at? GREETING Keep your distance. GREETING I'm not sure what to make of you, Outsider. GREETING What do you know about our problems? GREETING Welcome back. GREETING Hey there. Kill any Outsiders lately? GREETING {Jovial}You can shoot with me anytime, friend. GREETING Always nice to see you. GREETING {Wry}Hope the trip into camp wasn't too eventful! GREETING {friendly}Keep your head down, Outsider. GREETING I've got my sights on you, Outsider. GREETING Stand back where I can see you. GREETING Saw you coming a mile away. GREETING I actually got to fly Pearl for a little bit during that boming run. Hot damn, what an honor. GREETING All those hours training? Glad they finally paid off. GREETING Did you see it? I hear the suckers burned right through their armor. GREETING It was wonderful seeing Pearl fly and serve the purpose she was built for. GREETING It's getting nasty out here. S'times like these I thank god for artillery. GREETING War's brewing on the horizon, plain as day. GREETING We've survived out here pretty well so far without any help from the outside. GREETING You should get out of my face before you get yourself hurt. GREETING I don't have anything to say to you, outsider. GREETING I don't know how you survived the bombardment. That's incredible. GREETING I don't think you should be here. GREETING I'm happy you came along. You are the answer to our dreams. GREETING You've earned our trust, now let's see if you can earn our gratitude. GREETING I can't believe we may see the superfortress built in my lifetime. GREETING Really? So we may see our dream of flight soon? GREETING I hear you're going to help us, I hope you're up for the task. GREETING I'm happy that we managed to raise the bomber in my lifetime. GREETING Thank you so much for your help. GREETING I didn't think the day would ever come, but thanks to you our dreams have come true! GREETING I'm amazed that an outsider has proven so helpful. GREETING You've given us the ability to touch the sky! Thank you. GREETING You've done us a great service. Thank you. GREETING You've done us a great service. Thank you for your help. GREETING I'm not going to take anything from you. Leave me alone! GREETING Hey! You tried to get me sick! GREETING You should learn to give kids nice things... Like toys! GREETING You're the one that tried to give me that yucky stuff. GREETING I don't think I should talk to you. You aren't very nice. GREETING You need to leave me alone. I don't like you anymore. GREETING You're lots of fun. We should play sometime. GREETING I'm going to be a hero and travel the wasteland like you when I grow up. GREETING I'm going to tell Mama Pearl how cool you are. GREETING I bet you have all kinds of fun stories. GREETING I like you, we should play sometime! GREETING Thanks for the toy! It was great! GREETING I'm going to play raise the B-29! GREETING I can't believe Pearl let you stay with us. GREETING I sure hope Pearl knows what she's doing. GREETING Fucking Crocker couldn't find his ass if it wasn't on his backside... GREETING Don't be carrying any guns into the casino. GREETING {Not insulting, just commenting}You look like you just crawled out of the desert. GREETING {Night only}Love how this place comes alive at night. GREETING {Day only}You should see this place at night. GREETING {Rueful}Looking to lose a few caps, huh? Just the place. GREETING I never trusted those Omerta punks, even if I like their girls. GREETING I don't trust those creeps at the Ultra-Luxe. GREETING We need more people like you in the NCR. GREETING {Proud}We should straighten those thugs at Gomorrah. GREETING We've heard about you from the officers at our embassy. GREETING You're wasting no time in making a name for yourself around here, huh? GREETING {Subtly Fearful}The bots have enough firepower to arm a full platoon. GREETING {Surprised, then impressed}A Ranger, here in the Strip? Fine company, sir! GREETING {Matter of Fact}I won't be missing Mr. House, that's a given. The Strip's better off without him. GREETING {Satisfied}It was a matter of time before someone got to Mr. House. GREETING {Satisfied}Mr. House won't trouble our plans for the Strip any longer, huh!? GREETING {Proud}NCR should take this chance, now that Mr. House's out of the way. GREETING {Relieved}Good riddance, Caesar! We can finally enjoy some R&R without worrying about a Legion attack at McCarran. GREETING {Exuberant}Fuck that Caesar dog! I'm going to drink in your name, all night! GREETING {Suspicious}I tell you, something stinks about this Monorail attack! GREETING {Vengeful}My buddies at McCarran will find the asshole that destroyed our Monorail. GREETING {Complicit}So, our President's savior is enjoying a well deserved R&R? Fine piece of work you are! GREETING {Vengeful}Once I'm done here, I hope they assign me to find the son of a bitch that took down our President. GREETING It's good to have the Khans on our side, but I hope they keep them out of the Strip. Those savages smell like Bighorner's ass. GREETING {Surprised} I heard it got nasty at the Tops; wish I could've seen the shooting. GREETING My buddies at Camp McCarran are breathing easy now that the Fiends' leader is dead. GREETING {Celebratory}Without leadership, the Fiends are as good as dead! GREETING {Surprise mixed with disgust}What's a mutant doing in the Strip? GREETING {Surprise mixed with disgust}They let Ghouls into the Strip, now? GREETING The new slave girls are quite beautiful. GREETING The camps are getting crowded. GREETING Slaves aren't much of a challenge in the arena. GREETING {Player defeated Ranger Stella}{missed out on a good arena match}I didn't think anyone could kill an NCR Ranger in single combat. GREETING {Player cured Caesar}{KAI-zar}Caesar lives! GREETING {Caesar dead}I'll mourn {KAI-zar}Caesar - he was a great man. GREETING {Legion victory}{proud}All that {KAI-zar}Caesar promised has come true. GREETING {Legion victory}{Ah-WAY, Ah-ME-cus}Ave, amicus. GREETING Look to Bitter Springs to see what happens to disloyal slaves. GREETING {Player killed President Kimball}{Officer}I've heard the stories of how you assassinated Kimball. It's all my Legionaries will about. GREETING {Player killed President Kimball}Kimball's assassin is always welcome here. GREETING {Silus freed}The {Ken-TOO-ree-on}Centurion Silus will be punished for letting himself be captured. Coward. GREETING {Battle for Hoover Dam soon to begin}{Le-GAH-tus La-nee-OOS}Legatus Lanius is come. The battle for the dam will soon begin! GREETING {Late game begins}{Officer}{Le-GAH-tus La-nee-OOS}Legatus Lanius will arrive soon enough - and with him comes slaughter. GREETING {Late game begins}{Le-GAH-tus La-nee-OOS}Legatus Lanius draws near. The Profligates' days are numbered. GREETING {Middle game begins}{Le-GAH-tus La-nee-OOS}Legatus Lanius is known as the Monster of the East - a name he has earned many times over. GREETING {Elite Rangers have arrived}{trying not to sound worried}The black-armored Rangers are said to be fearsome in battle. GREETING {Elite rangers on the way}{Officer}The Legionaries fret like women over rumors of Rangers in black armor. GREETING {Elite rangers on the way}There have been sightings of Rangers in black armor, the best the Profligates have to offer. GREETING I wish I could hear the Profligates weeping over the explosion at McCarran! GREETING The Mark of {KAI-zar}Caesar protects you. GREETING {Mr. House Unplugged/Killed}The warlord House thought himself beyond {KAI-zar's}Caesar's reach. And now he is dead. GREETING {Caesar cured}{officer}Never once did I believe that {KAI-zar}was near death. I have friends in high places. GREETING {Caesar dead}The Legion will survive {KAI-zar's}Caesar's death. It must! GREETING {Player destroyed Securitron Army}I felt the earth shake when the evil below the Fort was destroyed! GREETING {Rumors of Legion Veterans}{Officer}Soon the Legion's veterans will arrive from Arizona. Each has killed many times his number. GREETING {Legion dogs killed}Our hounds were bred to kill. They are missed. GREETING {Nelson and Camp Forlorn Hope both wiped out}It's said that every living thing at Nelson and Forlorn Hope camp was killed. GREETING {Camp Forlorn Hope wiped out}{cheerful}I hear the Profligates at Forlorn Hope begged for their lives. GREETING {Nelson wiped out}{officer}Had I been the commander of our forces at Nelson, the town would still be ours. GREETING {Nelson wiped out}The Legionaries at Nelson were killed to a man. No survivors. GREETING {Great Khans signed treaty with NCR}So frightened are the Profligates that they've begun signing treaties with primitive tribes! GREETING {Unknown}{Officer}Keep barking and I'll feed you to a dog. GREETING {Unknown}Watch yourself, Profligate. GREETING {Unknown}Hold your tongue, wastrel. GREETING {Unknown}Degenerates like you belong on a cross. GREETING {Dislike}{contempt}Wretched Profligate. Try making some trouble. GREETING {Dislike}{contempt}You belong on a cross, degenerate. GREETING {Dislike}I'd rather kill you than talk to you. GREETING {Hated}When the time comes, I'll be the one to kill you. GREETING {Hated}{looking for an excuse to attack}Give me cause, Profligate. GREETING {Hated}Attack me. Give me license to kill you. GREETING {Mixed}You aren't trusted here, Profligate. GREETING {Mixed}{Scornfully}You serve yourself, not the Legion. GREETING {Mixed}Why is your degneracy tolerated? GREETING {Wild Child}{Officer}You can't be trusted... but you're useful. GREETING {Wild Child}How are we to trust one such as you? GREETING {Wild Child}{suspicious}Who knows what you'll do next? GREETING {Wild Child}You're a crazed one. I'll not talk to you. GREETING {Somewhat liked}{Most idiots try to defy the Legion}You do well to serve the Legion. GREETING {Somewhat liked}{Most are forced to serve}You're wise to serve the Legion by choice. GREETING {Somewhat liked}You've proved yourself useful, at least. GREETING {Liked}{Officer}You serve the Legion well, {ah-ME-cus}amicus. GREETING {Liked}We each serve the Legion, in our way. GREETING {Liked}{LATIN}Good to see you, {ah-ME-cus}amicus. GREETING {Liked}{LATIN}{AH-way, ah-ME-cus}Ave, amicus. GREETING {Unknown}{Veteran}I know your kind. You die easily enough. GREETING {Legion Veterans arriving}Have you seen the Legion's veterans, arrived from Arizona? They are fearless! GREETING {Hopeful}I hope the Fiends stop their raids now that their boss is gone GREETING {Dumbfounded}Bad weather ahead, I tell you. The death of our President's just the start. GREETING {Resentful}Don't care about Kimball, until he starts to care about us. GREETING {Revolted}Don't dump your Ghoul here, we've already got enough shit around us. GREETING {Admiringly}People of my trade respect the merchants of these territories. GREETING {Proud and Celebratory}I hear the Khans won't trouble us anymore. GREETING {Slightly Apprehensive}I hear the Securitrons are tougher since their faces changed. GREETING {Celebratory}House was the only thing keeping Vegas from joining the NCR! GREETING {Excitedly Surprised}You're the one that killed Caesar, right? GREETING {Celebratory}After all, Caesar died like the old man he was. GREETING {Excitedly Surprised}That Caesar bastard had it coming. GREETING {Thankful}I'm glad those damn bots are gone for good. GREETING {Slight Relief}Our guys put the Monorail back to work! GREETING {Excitedly Thankful}We owe you so much for saving our President. GREETING {Proud Indignation}Can you believe they tried killing our President? Don't they know who they are dealing with? GREETING {Rueful Indignation}Our own President, murdered! Things aren't looking good. GREETING {Unspoken Suspicions}Hanlon was a brave soldier, what could've driven him to despair? GREETING {Assertive}That Fiend leader shouldn't have messed with our great army. GREETING {Proud}The Fiends are running for their lives. That'll show everyone what we do to our enemies. GREETING {Worried}If the Legion can reach as far as Bitter Springs, what's going to stop them from getting to us? GREETING {Slightly Concerned, if Hopeful}Those Khans are savages, but we can use them to our advantage. GREETING {Proud}Those Khans got the hint! We've shown everyone that these are our new territories. GREETING {Self-Righteousness}I knew those Khans couldn't be trusted! GREETING {Proud}I hear we straightened up a band of thugs in Freeside. GREETING {Hopeful}I hear a troublesome Legion camp got razed to the ground! GREETING {Rueful}Our forces suffered a huge blow at Forlorn Hope, We'll remember that! GREETING {Celebratory}Legionaries are next in the list of rabid dogs to put down! GREETING {Proud}Civilizing Primm will show what we can do for everyone else in these territories. GREETING {Excitedly Hopeful}Our rangers are going to show everyone what happens when we're pissed off! GREETING {Concerned}I've heard the Legion's planning to unleash their best men against us. GREETING {Worried}Those Legion elite troops are bad blood. GREETING {Slightly Concerned}Things are getting stranger every day. GREETING {Visibly Concerned}It seems that the territories are about to blow up. GREETING {Slightly Irritated}Back home we don't waste time talking to strangers, either. GREETING {Slightly Irritated}I really have more important things to do, sorry. GREETING {Pleasant}Good to see a friend of our government. GREETING {Pleasant}The NCR appreciates good citizens like you. GREETING {Pleasant}I'm glad to see you. GREETING {Genuine Appreciation}The NCR's fortunate to have your support. GREETING {Genuine Appreciation}You're a model citizen, thank you. GREETING {Slight Discomfort}What do you want with me? GREETING {Slight Suspicion}You're not going to cause any problems, right? GREETING {Palpable Apprehension}Uh-oh, back off and leave me alone. GREETING {Fearful}I don't want any trouble, okay? GREETING {Violent Indignation}What the hell's going on in your crazy head? GREETING {Repulsion}Don't talk to me! GREETING {Proud Disdain}I don't waste my time with troublemakers. GREETING {Seething Anger}We should have you tried, and then killed on the spot! GREETING {Seething Anger}I'm too civilized, otherwise I'd stone you to death. GREETING {Restrained Violence}I should make you pay for your crimes! GREETING {Curious}I've seen Followers of the Apocalypse in my travels before. GREETING {Admiringly}NCR Rangers deserve all my praise. GREETING {Admiringly}Is your friend one of those elite troops we've been hearing about? GREETING {Admiringly}Your merchant friend would make a fine NCR woman. GREETING {Intrigued}I've never seen a robot like that before. GREETING {Fearful Suspicion}The Supermutant's under control, I hope. GREETING {Fearful Suspicion}I've seen what those creatures do, and I don't know how you trust them. GREETING {Wild Child 1}Sometimes friend, sometimes foe. No one knows what to make of you. GREETING {Wild Child 2}I've heard stories about you. No one knows what you'll do next. GREETING {Wild Child 3}I'm not looking for trouble. You can ignore me. GREETING {apologetic - got in someone's way}Excuse me. GREETING {Random}My feet are killing me. GREETING {low voice}It's said that you were responsible for Caesar's death. GREETING {Brotherhood destroyed}The Legionaries are pleased - an enemy called the Brotherhood of Steel is dead. GREETING {Great Khans attack everyone at Dam}The Great Khans tribe went mad. During the battle at the Dam, they attacked both the Legion and the NCR. GREETING {Camp Forlorn Hope destroyed}The Legion has won a great victory over the NCR at a place called Forlorn Hope. GREETING {Mr. House Unplugged/Killed}I've heard that a great enemy of the Legion was assassinated in New Vegas. GREETING {Caesar cured}Caesar was ill, but now he lives. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Rex}How disgusting. You can see that strange mechanical mongrel's brain. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Raul}Ugh. One of the burned people walks in our camp. GREETING {Companion Reaction - ED-E}What a strange floating robot. Is it useful for anything? GREETING {Companion Reaction - Lily}What is that thing? I've never seen a blue mutant. GREETING {Rumors of Legion Veterans}I overheard some of the Legionaries say that more veterans from the eastern campaigns will be summoned to the Fort. GREETING {Mr. House victory}The leader of New Vegas and his army of robots has defeated both the NCR and the Legion. What will happen now? GREETING {NCR victory}There's talk that many of the ranking Legionaries will be beheaded for allowing the NCR to defeat the Legion yet again. GREETING {Legion Veterans arriving}A great battle is coming. Many veterans of the Legion have begun arriving from the east. GREETING {Caesar dead}There are many rumors about who'll lead the Legion now that Caesar is dead. GREETING {Player completed Securitron bunker mission}That was quite an explosion a while ago. We felt the ground shake! GREETING {Great Khans unaltered/helping Caesar}I've heard rumors that one of the tribes west of the river may join the Legion. GREETING {Random}The work never ends... GREETING {Random}So many tasks to attend to... GREETING {Random}I need to rest. GREETING {Thug 3}It's best if I'm not seen talking to you. GREETING {Thug 2}Be careful, or you'll end up being crucified. GREETING {Thug 1}The Legionaries grumble about you. Be careful. GREETING {Hated 3}The Legionaries want to kill you. Please don't get me involved. GREETING {Hated 2}The Legion hates you. Why do you come here? GREETING {Hated 1}Please - I'll be in trouble if the Legionaries see you speaking to me. GREETING {Mixed 3}You're trouble, I can tell. GREETING {Mixed 2}Be careful - the Legionaries aren't sure they can trust you. GREETING {Mixed 1}You're not quite an enemy, nor are you a friend. GREETING {Rascal 3}Your favor with the Legion grows, I've heard. GREETING {Rascal 2}Some of the Legionaries talk about you with growing respect. GREETING {Rascal 1}I'm honored to serve. GREETING {Liked 3}Someone as important as you noticing me? I'm flattered. GREETING {Liked 2}The Legionaries speak highly of you. I'm not worthy of your attention. GREETING {Liked 1}It's an honor to be noticed by one so favored by the Legion. GREETING {Random}You're a woman, and yet you wander free?{sound of contemplation, hmm GREETING {Rascal 1}I hear you've done some good things for the Followers. GREETING {Rascal 2}The Followers are always on the look on for new friends like yourself. GREETING {Rascal 3}I appreciate how you've been helping us so far. GREETING {Thug 2}I really don't have anything you'd want. GREETING {Thug 3}Look, I've got people to care for. I'm not looking for trouble. GREETING {Wild Child 1}I don't get you. Sometimes you help the Followers, and other times you work against us. GREETING {Wild Child 2}You're an enemy of the Followers, as far as I'm concerned. I don't care how you've helped us. GREETING {Wild Child 3}The Followers can't trust you, you've proven that. GREETING {Securitrons at Fort Destroyed}I never imagined Mr. House would concede to the NCR. I wonder what convinced him... GREETING {Default}When people have got nothing left, they can always turn to the Followers. GREETING {Random - Guard}The Gun Runners ought to help the Followers by donating some of that firepower they've got. GREETING {Random - Guard}{slightly complaining}Wish the Followers would get me some better armor. GREETING {Random - Guard}Stay alert. GREETING {Random - Guard}Keep an eye out for trouble. GREETING {Random - Doctor}There are so many refugees to care for. GREETING {Random - Doctor}{concerned}Medicine's running low again. GREETING {Random - Doctor}All that wealth is wasted on the Strip. There are people in Freeside who need food and medicine. GREETING {Random - Doctor}I have no idea how most of these people would survive without us. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Veronica}I didn't know the Brotherhood had any people out here. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Rex}Look at that - a cyber-dog. There can't be many of those left. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Lily}{awe}Look at that - a friendly Nightkin. What's it doing here? GREETING {Companion Reaction - ED-E}{a bit amused}That is one battered Eyebot. It's a miracle it's still functioning. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Cass}Isn't that Cass? I heard she'd gotten out of the caravan business. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Boone}{slight awe}That's a First Recon beret. They're the best marksmen in the NCR military. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Raul}I'll never get used to the sight of ghouls. GREETING {Brotherhood of Steel Destroyed}The Brotherhood had a bunker in Hidden Valley, but it was destroyed somehow. GREETING {Kings resolve differences with NCR}I never thought I'd see the day when the NCR and the Kings started getting along. GREETING {Kings wiped out}{shock at a bloodbath}The Kings got hit hard. I don't know how many of them are still alive, if any. GREETING {Kimball Assassination Successful}President Kimball was careless and overconfident, and it got him killed. GREETING {Kimball Assassination Failed}Who would have thought someone would try to assassinate President Kimball with all those troops around? GREETING {Monorail destroyed}Did you see the monorail explode? The destruction was absolute. GREETING {Caesar dead}Caesar's death is good news for the NCR. For everyone, most likely. GREETING {Mr. House unplugged/killed}No one knows how Mr. House died. His obituary didn't say anything useful. GREETING {Securitrons on the Strip Upgraded}The Securitrons in and around the Strip have been upgraded. It's almost like Vegas has an army now. GREETING {Player enters Lucky 38}Someone entered the Lucky 38. That's never happened before. GREETING {Player foiled RACKET}Big shakeup in the management at Gomorrah. I wonder what that's about? GREETING {Player killed Benny at The Tops}Someone killed Benny, the Chairmen's bigshot, in his own casino. Violence begets violence... GREETING {Player assaulted The Tops}Did you hear about the shootout at The Tops? GREETING {Thug 1}We're only trying to help people, and you're not making it easy on us. GREETING {Companion Reaction - Arcade}{concern for a friend}Don't let anything happen to Arcade, all right? GREETING {Overtly flirtatious, boisterous before friends}That a pretty gal! Want to share?{laughter}Ha ha ha! GREETING We got ourselves a little Ranger family reunion now. Time's right for a feud. GREETING {Impressed}Hell of a place, huh? GREETING Staying long? GREETING A veteran Ranger inspires awe. Stick around for when they get here, you'll see. If I live to earn the Black Armor, I can die a happy woman. GREETING First Recon's in Camp Forlorn Hope. Get some Rangers in there too and it'll be a damned impregnable fortress. GREETING Wish I could've been there, defending Camp Forlorn Hope. Even if it didn't change anything. GREETING Looks like we booted the Legion outta Nelson. About damn time. GREETING From here on out, we fight for Chief Hanlon. GREETING President Kimball was a tough son-of-a-gun. The Rangers'll pick up where he left off. GREETING President Kimball was a soldier's soldier. It's up to us to make the Legion pay for what they did. GREETING {with esteem}You saved President Kimball, didn't you? Hell of a thing. GREETING Don't get many chances to catch a legionary alive. Burns me up that we botched ours. GREETING All you need is one Ranger protecting the monorail. You don't even need to feed him that much. He'll get it done. GREETING Wish I had a First Recon guy looking after me. GREETING Hoover Dam... just thinking about it makes me nervous. GREETING {Starstruck}One of the Ranger vets looked at me and I just about surrendered. GREETING The Ranger vets are on their way from Baja. Never seen one before. But I've heard they chew nails and spit napalm. GREETING We put our trust in Hanlon and look where it got us. Makes you wonder if we can trust anyone at all. GREETING Chief Hanlon's watching over us now. He won't let us lose. GREETING {Scared}They got to President Kimball. How long can we hold out? GREETING Oh my God, are you the one who saved President Kimball? GREETING I heard we captured a live Centurion and then let him get away. That never would've happened if I was in charge. GREETING When I got this assignment I was hoping there'd be more gambling. GREETING Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter. GREETING Why don't you go join the rest of the human trash across the river? GREETING {Defiant}Come on. Give me a reason. GREETING Shooting you right now might be worth the court-martial. GREETING I suggest you leave. GREETING Keep walking. GREETING You got a lot of nerve walking around here. GREETING You need to get your head straight. If you're fighting for us, act like it. GREETING You're insane. We shouldn't be letting you run loose around here. GREETING How are we supposed to trust you? You're completely unpredictable. GREETING Everything you've been up to... I just don't know what you're trying to pull. GREETING At least the Legion knows what they're fighting for. When are you gonna figure it out? GREETING Why don't you pick a side? We did. GREETING Honored to speak with you, sir. GREETING Honored to speak with you, ma'am. GREETING You know, if you were serving, you'd probably be halfway to general by now. GREETING Nice job out there. GREETING Glad you're with us. GREETING Hey. Welcome aboard. GREETING I'm not sure you should be here. GREETING You lost? GREETING We won't go quietly. The Legion can count on that. GREETING Sounds like we're running Primm now. I'd still rather take my leave at the Strip. GREETING First Recon's at Camp Forlorn Hope. Now we've got a chance to hold it. GREETING Nelson's back in our hands. I hope we can defend it this time. GREETING Is it me, or has the Brotherhood stopped engaging us? Smartest move they ever made, you ask me. GREETING Smart move for the Kings to back down. They didn't know who they were messing with. GREETING We signed a treaty with the Great Khans. Guess you can never have too many lowlife chem dealers on your side. GREETING Sickens me that the Legion would try to harvest slaves from a refugee camp. GREETING President Kimball is lucky he escaped. I don't think we could lose him right now. GREETING Wish I could've been there to see Caesar die. What an asshole. GREETING Monster of the East, huh? Well I've got the Monster of the West in my holster right now. Hope I get to introduce them. GREETING Got business here? GREETING Your friend's cute - is she single? GREETING I hope Papa knew what he was doing when he left you in charge. GREETING A robot dog? Never seen one of those before. GREETING Your pal's one ugly motherfucker. GREETING {Shocked, a little afraid}Holy hell, is that a Nightkin? GREETING {Slightly sarcastic}Nice robot. GREETING You know you're traveling with a fucking murderer? GREETING Haven't seen a Follower around here in years. GREETING Welcome, my friend. A new day has dawned for this chapter, and moving forward we will no longer cower in the dark. GREETING And we have you to thank for it. You'll find that I can be generous to those who show loyalty. GREETING Here, take this key. If you ever find yourself in need of repair, head to our safehouse to the northeast. GREETING Now, what can I do for you? GREETING {Hardin, haven't listened to him yet}Are you willing to listen to me now, outsider? GREETING Have you reconsidered helping me, outsider? I do what I must to see that the chapter survives. GREETING What is it, outsider? Have you discovered anything? GREETING Welcome back, my friend. What can I do for you? GREETING What do you want, outsider? GREETING I appreciate all you've done, but I'm going to have my hands full for a little while. Come back later and we'll talk. GREETING {Hardin Top Level Topics} GREETING {Hardin linked topics} GREETING I heard we have you to thank for McNamara having a change of heart. Thank you. So what can I do for you? GREETING There's a rumor going around that you were behind Hardin's takeover. I suppose his leadership is better than none at all. Time will tell. GREETING So what brings you by today? GREETING Hello, you must be the outsider everyone is talking about. I'm Linda Schuler. If you ever need medical attention, this is the place to come. GREETING Hello. Can I help you with something? GREETING {Schuler Top-level topics} GREETING Please excuse me - I'm {exter-cating}extricating myself at the moment... GREETING Apologies, but I'm quite busy until I reach safety! GREETING Well! That was quite an adventure. We taught those convicts a thing or two, didn't we? GREETING Breaking myself out of a hostage situation - not to diminish your role in it, of course - but it was quite thrilling. GREETING Problem is, there's still no law in Primm. What're we to do the next time ruffians menace us and hold us hostage? GREETING Well! That was quite a per-dicament you rescued me from, there in the Bison Steve. A most unpleasant experience. GREETING Going in alone to rescue a hostage! My brother-in-law was brave like that. Made a fine sheriff. Until the Powder Gangers killed him. GREETING Problem is, there's still no law in Primm. What're we to do the next time ruffians menace us and hold us hostage? GREETING Well, if it isn't the lawbringer."" GREETING Hello again. I don't suppose you've decided to help Primm find its next sheriff? GREETING Any luck finding a suitable candidate for our next sheriff? GREETING Oh, it's you. GREETING {sighs}I suppose I should be thanking you for restoring the rule of law to Primm... GREETING I don't plan to come back to the Bison Steve much in the years to come. If I ever get out of it. GREETING I do hope this ordeal will be over soon. GREETING If we were to miss a convict or two in here, who'd know the difference? GREETING I'm Lieutenant Hayes of the New California Republic Army, 5th Battalion, 1st Company. What's your business? GREETING Yeah? GREETING Primm is secure against outside threats. Be interesting to see how long the natives stay grateful. GREETING I'm Sergeant McGee of the New California Republic Army, 5th Battalion, 1st Company. If you want to talk about something, speak to Lieutenant Hayes. GREETING What is it? GREETING Move along, waster. Got a town to run here. GREETING {Hayes Placeholder} GREETING {Deputy Beagle Placeholder} GREETING {McGee Top Level Topics} GREETING Howdy pardner! Any luck tracking down Vance's gun? GREETING Always good to see you, pardner! Anything I can help you with? GREETING What are you doing here, stranger? You looking to start some trouble? GREETING This better be good, stranger. GREETING You'd best not try any funny business, stranger. One word from me, and Vance will plant you in the ground! GREETING What the hell you want? GREETING Thanks for talking Pauline out of robbing the Strip. Who knows what she'll think of next? GREETING Thank god you talked me out of trying to rob the Strip. I guess we'll wait here until I come up with our next caper. GREETING {Primm Slimm Placeholder Topic} GREETING Heard it was you brought the law back to Primm, youngster. Hat's off to you. GREETING Primm had rule of law for the blink of an eye, but now we're back where we started. GREETING Hey there, youngster. GREETING Hello there. What brings you to Primm? GREETING Welcome back. Good to see you again. GREETING {JNash Placeholder} GREETING {RNash Placeholder} GREETING Have you found the components we discussed? The sooner we get this over with, the better. GREETING Jason says that I am to cooperate with you on the final tasks necessary to launch the Great Journey. GREETING Are you ready to get started? Those rockets aren't going to launch themselves. GREETING It is almost time for the great Journey! GREETING Not now! It is almost time for the Great Journey! GREETING It is almost time for the great Journey! GREETING Nice enough speech, I guess. GREETING Well, it's up to you to go launch the rockets. There's a small mission control room all the way back upstairs. Should be as easy as pressin a button. GREETING It seems my work here is done, so I'll be on my way to Novac. We'll see how that works out. GREETING Did you hear him? As though some fancy speech can make what they did to me less of a crime? GREETING Go launch the rockets! There's a cramped little mission control" room all the way back upstairs. Should be as easy as pushing a button." GREETING Enjoy the view. I hear the Great Journey" is going to be shorter than they expected. Sweeter GREETING Did you hear him? My god, you were right all along. I'm no ghoul! They were just using me... GREETING Go launch the rockets. Don't worry about me. GREETING Leave me alone. GREETING Did you bring the items we discussed? The sooner I send them on their way, the sooner I can head to Novac. GREETING {Placeholder for Top Level Topics} GREETING Where did rest of my kin go? All alone now... GREETING Antler is sad. We Nightkin go now, but there is fewer than when we came here... GREETING Antler is sad, human. Nightkin go now, find Stealth Boys in other places. GREETING You did good, smoothskin. Never thought I'd get out of that room. GREETING Kind of busy running for my life here, smoothskin. GREETING Come and get it, you big dumb - GREETING Hey! You're not one of those things out there. Who the hell are you? GREETING Did you find my friend? GREETING What do you want now, smoothskin? GREETING Who sent you? I ain't talking. They tried to get me to talk before, but I didn't say nothing. And I don't aim to now, by gum. GREETING You've seen them too, haven't you? I can see it in your eyes. I knew I wasn't the only one. GREETING Yeah? What do you want? GREETING What's up? GREETING Hi there, mister. You need something? GREETING Hi there, miss. Can I help you with something? GREETING Hello again. Did you need something else? GREETING I'm not supposed to talk to strangers. GREETING I doubt I can help you. I'm just a kid, you know. GREETING Alright, that should do it. You need anything else? GREETING And we're all done. That wasn't so bad, was it? Did you need anything else? GREETING You've helped me so much, it seems wrong to ask, but can you spare any more water? GREETING I'll never forget you. Thank you for your help. GREETING I hate to ask but... do you have any more water? GREETING You've saved my life. Thank you, stranger. I hate to ask you this, but times are hard... GREETING Can you spare any more water? GREETING Just leave me to die in peace. GREETING Just go away. I'd like to die without you standing over me gloating. GREETING Oh, thank God. Someone new! I need water! Please! Water! GREETING Can you help me? I need water... purified water... please...

GREETING By your command, sir! GREETING Feel better? You should, that was the good stuff. Need anything else? GREETING See, that wasn't so bad. Anything else I can do for you? GREETING You're all set. Are we done here? GREETING Jesus, you really can't take a hint, can you? GREETING Let me be blunt. Go away. GREETING I don't know you, you don't know me. Let's keep it that way. GREETING How about you just mind your own business, okay? GREETING Do not interfere with security operations. GREETING I'm sorry, but I am not at liberty to chat right now.

HadrianIntro Either you need to get your eyes checked or that fame is fleeting" thing is true - and since I happen to be world famous HadrianIntro Name's Hadrian. Bet you never saw a ghoul in a suit before, huh? Course, you don't exactly strike me as the worldly type. HadrianWork Too bad I got this ironclad contract with the Garrets. They'll never let me out of it. HadrianWork Like I told you, I can't go anywhere without getting out of my contract with Garret first. Talk to him, maybe he'll cut me loose if you ask nice. HadrianWork Really? You mean I'm finally out of this shithole? That's great! Thank you! HadrianWork Sure, why not? Nothing left for me here since Garret's dead. HanlonConfession Rangers, this is the chief. I know I can ramble on sometimes, but I need you to listen close for the next minute or so. I've got some bad news. HanlonConfession I messed up. Made a mistake. I thought I could help get us out of here, but... it didn't work out. HanlonConfession Rangers get injured all the time. It's part of the job. But if you lose a few fingers, get a bad break, that's it. You step down. HanlonConfession We rely on each other too much to let our infirmities become a liability. A ranger knows when it's time. Only I didn't. HanlonConfession Somewhere along the way, something broke inside me. I couldn't find us a way out of this desert. I wrestled with it, and it took me down a dark road. HanlonConfession I wish I could explain it to you. The old chief's finally at a loss for words. HanlonConfession Send me all the Legion you can. I'll be waiting for them. HardinPowerArmorTraining ...There, I think you've got the hang of it now. You should be able to use any type of power armor you come across using what you just learned. HardinPowerArmorTraining Very well, then. In addition to the armor, I've given the order that all of our arms and equipment be made available for your purchase.

HardinPowerArmorTraining I wish you the best, {outsider}outsid- {beat, catches himself}Brother. HarlandAlreadyFree I see. Spare me the details. Goddamn. She had the yellowest smile... HarlandAlreadyFree You did your part, so I'll do mine. Go ahead and root around up here if you want. I'm going to make a break for topside. HarlandByAskingYou Ha! Well, you're polite, I'll give you that. If this was just between you and me, I'd do as you ask. But it's not. HarlandByAskingYou I had a friend with me when those mutant bastards came out of nowheres. She panicked and ran the wrong direction - further into the basement. HarlandByAskingYou She's probably dead, but I ain't leaving until I know for sure. I'd have gone looking myself, except I wouldn't last a minute out there. HarlandByAskingYou You, on the other hand, seem pretty resourceful. Find my friend, and I'll get out of your way. HarlandByKillingYou Then you're dumber than you look, smoothskin. Eat this! HarlandFriendDead I see. Well, spare me the details. HarlandFriendDead Damn it, I'm going to miss that crooked, yellow smile... HarlandFriendDead All right, you did your part, so I'll do mine. Look around up here if you want. I'm going to make a break for topside. HarlandGoodbye Later. HarlandHowEndUpHere First off, I'm not trapped. This was a tactical choice, all right? HarlandHowEndUpHere I'm no match for those things out there, so I found a good defensive position, and I've been defending it, right? HarlandHowEndUpHere ...Aw, who am I fooling? I'm trapped. Name's Harland. Pleased to meet you. HarlandHowEndUpHere What happened was, I was escorting folks down to work when those things attacked us. HarlandHowEndUpHere Most of the fight was upstairs, but some folks panicked and made for the basement. And I went after them. HarlandHowEndUpHere Well, turns out there were even more of those bastards down here than upstairs, and things went to shit fast. HarlandHowEndUpHere I couldn't find the others, so I fell back to this room and set up a nice little kill zone. End of story. HarlandHowEndUpHere I'm not delicate. Radroach meat for protein, condensation off the pipes for water, and I do my business over in the far corner. HarlandHowEndUpHere I wouldn't say it's been comfy. HarlandICanFindHer Thanks. Let me know what you find out. Here's hoping she's okay. HarlandLookDifferent Guess the outfit gives that away, huh? I never did buy into that religious mumbo-jumbo with the robes and all that shit. HarlandLookDifferent It gets lonely out in the wastes, okay? And I don't have to tell you that Bright's group has got some fine-looking ghoulettes in it! HarlandLookDifferent Eh... or maybe I would have to tell you... HarlandLookDifferent Anyway, I helped them out, and they kept me supplied with ammo and pleasant company. HarlandNightkinInfo I kill them on sight, so we haven't had much time to get acquainted. HarlandNightkinInfo They're hard to see, obviously, but they aren't too smart when it comes to tactics. Or not stepping in traps. HarlandNoWord I'm not expecting good news, but keep looking. HarlandPartsInfo He did, did he? I swear, I should tear the rest of the hair out of that cocksucker's head. HarlandPartsInfo Send a rescue mission after Harland? Nah, let's just send some smoothskin whose radio got broke! HarlandPartsInfo Harland's tough! He probably enjoys waiting to be attacked at any moment! He probably loves eating nothing but roach meat! HarlandPartsInfo Licking up condensation from a rusted pipe is his idea of fun! So's doing his business in a corner, and smelling it for days! HarlandPartsInfo But oh, that's right - the crisis is that you need some computer parts! Well, you can go fuck yourself until you get my friends out of this mess. HarlandWhatFolks Oh, you haven't run across Bright's little cult upstairs, eh? HarlandWhatFolks Harmless bunch, really. Religion and me never really got along, but they're good company. I helped out with odds and ends. HarlandWhereParts And I thought I was old. It's a junkshop east and slightly north of here. There's an old woman running it. Gilbert, or something. HarlandWhyPCisHere And I bet he told you it's the creator's will for you to risk your ass, instead of him, right? HarlandWhyPCisHere Well, good luck with that! I'd give you a hand, but no thanks. I may look like a corpse, but I'm partial to living! HarlandWhyPCisHere A stash of Stealth Boys. Are you kidding me? HarlandWhyPCisHere If there was some big stash of devices in here that made you invisible, do you really think we'd be having this conversation? HarlandWhyPCisHere The only thing you'll find up here is a bullet hole between your eyes. Got any better ideas? HarlandWhyPCisHere Maybe you noticed a bunch of invisible monsters out there? I've been in here trying not to get dead. HD00Drink I'm sorry, sir. My condensation collectors need time to fully recharge before I can continue to dispense any more beverages.

HealthQuarter {Badly hurt}Leo, I think we're in very big trouble! HELLO Hello, it is great to finally meet you. HELLO Hello. HELLO ... HELLO Evening. HELLO Morning. HELLO Hey. HELLO I got kicked outta Ultra Luxe the other day. Man, that place gives me the fucking creeps. HELLO Paladin. HELLO Hello, outsider. HELLO You're being watched, so don't get any ideas. HELLO The bunker takes a little getting used to, doesn't it? HELLO How may I assist you? HELLO Paladin. HELLO Initiate. HELLO Greetings, Elder. HELLO Knight. HELLO Hello, sir. HELLO Sir. HELLO Apprentice. HELLO The reports say Mr. House's robots are now using tech we've never heard of. We need to send a team up there, soon. HELLO Looks like Mr. House is out of the picture. One less thing for us to deal with. HELLO With their leader gone, the Legion will likely tear itself apart. It's what most violent tribal societies do. HELLO Our instruments show some impressive power fluctuations coming from across the river. What's going on over there? HELLO There was a huge explosion east of the Colorado a little while ago. Does the NCR have any artillery that big? HELLO Someone blew up the monorail the NCR uses to travel to the Strip and back. We should use this time to strike! HELLO Seems the destruction of the monorail didn't slow the NCR down much. How many troops do they have? HELLO There was an attempt on the NCR president's life recently. Too bad it didn't succeed. HELLO Did you hear? Someone actually managed to assassinate the NCR's president! And we just sit here! HELLO The other day I heard some bigwig in the NCR military died. Hopefully it disrupts their chain of command some. HELLO Did you hear about that NCR higher up that died? That he was trying to sabotage them? Hope he wasn't the only one. HELLO Seems the NCR is making friends. We've had reports of them making overtures to some gang in Freeside. HELLO We just had word that the town of Primm is now part of the NCR. At this rate, they'll be running the whole region soon. HELLO I heard some special squad of Rangers is on its way to the Vegas area. I guess the NCR is finally getting serious about fighting the Legion. HELLO There've been reports that the NCR is moving more and more troops into the area. HELLO It's the quiet before the storm up top. For once I'm almost glad we're down here. HELLO Hey, good going with that hit on The Tops. HELLO That prick, Benny, had it coming. HELLO I always suspected Benny was a coward. HELLO You must have some serious brass to fight off Benny's goons. Bravo. HELLO You made a real mess of the Omertas. Looks like the place will be under new management now. HELLO You must have some real pull with House to get inside the Lucky 38. HELLO Have you seen the new Securitron upgrades? I pity anyone who gets testy with those bots now. HELLO The Lucky 38 has been quiet. I wonder if something happened to House. HELLO Have you noticed the Securitrons acting up? People are saying House might be dead. HELLO Hey, you're the one who slayed Caesar! That son of a bitch had it coming! HELLO People say Caesar is dead. I hope someone worse doesn't replace him. HELLO Good going destroying House's Securitron Army. That old boy's had too much power for too long. HELLO Great, with the monorail bombed, Freeside is the only route in and out of Vegas. HELLO At least the local vendors are seeing more business with these wealthy NCR shits wandering through. HELLO I hear some Legionary named Silus got freed from McCarran. He's got quite the NCR kill count. HELLO Why didn't you just let Kimball get killed? What did he ever do for us to warrant saving his life? HELLO You must have thought you were hot shit going after Kimball like that, huh? HELLO I hear you bagged kimball. Damn fine work, kid. HELLO That's the mook that killed Benny! HELLO {LATIN}{AH-way}Ave, true to {KAI-zar}Caesar. HELLO True to {KAI-zar}Caesar. HELLO True to {KAI-zar}Caesar. HELLO We got ourselves a little Ranger family reunion now. Time's right for a feud. HELLO Monster of the East, huh? Well I've got the Monster of the West in my holster right now. Hope I get to introduce them. HELLO A veteran Ranger inspires awe. Stick around for when they get here, you'll see. If I live to earn the Black Armor, I can die a happy woman. HELLO First Recon's in Camp Forlorn Hope. Get some Rangers in there too and it'll be a damned impregnable fortress. HELLO Wish I could've been there, defending Camp Forlorn Hope. Even if it didn't change anything. HELLO Looks like we booted the Legion outta Nelson. About damn time. HELLO From here on out, we fight for Chief Hanlon. HELLO President Kimball was a tough son-of-a-gun. The Rangers'll pick up where he left off. HELLO President Kimball was a soldier's soldier. It's up to us to make the Legion pay for what they did. HELLO {with esteem}You saved President Kimball, didn't you? Hell of a thing. HELLO Don't get many chances to catch a legionary alive. Burns me up that we botched ours. HELLO All you need is one Ranger protecting the monorail. You don't even need to feed him that much. He'll get it done. HELLO Wish I had a First Recon guy looking after me. HELLO Hoover Dam... just thinking about it makes me nervous. HELLO {Starstruck}One of the Ranger vets looked at me and I just about surrendered. HELLO The Ranger vets are on their way from Baja. Never seen one before. But I've heard they chew nails and spit napalm. HELLO We put our trust in Hanlon and look where it got us. Makes you wonder if we can trust anyone at all. HELLO Chief Hanlon's watching over us now. He won't let us lose. HELLO {Scared}They got to President Kimball. How long can we hold out? HELLO Oh my God, are you the one who saved President Kimball? HELLO I heard we captured a live Centurion and then let him get away. That never would've happened if I was in charge. HELLO {Irked}No monorail access to the Strip? Where am I supposed to take my leave? Freeside? HELLO We won't go quietly. The Legion can count on that. HELLO Sounds like we're running Primm now. I'd still rather take my leave at the Strip. HELLO First Recon's at Camp Forlorn Hope. Now we've got a chance to hold it. HELLO Nelson's back in our hands. I hope we can defend it this time. HELLO Is it me, or has the Brotherhood stopped engaging us? Smartest move they ever made, you ask me. HELLO Smart move for the Kings to back down. They didn't know who they were messing with. HELLO We signed a treaty with the Great Khans. Guess you can never have too many lowlife chem dealers on your side. HELLO Sickens me that the Legion would try to harvest slaves from a refugee camp. HELLO President Kimball is lucky he escaped. I don't think we could lose him right now. HELLO Wish I could've been there to see Caesar die. What an asshole. HELLO Hey there. HELLO The bosses of the {saying it wrong}Omergas? Omer-nas? The ones that run Gomorrah? Someone killed them. HELLO Outrageous what Mortimer did. The nerve of some people. HELLO {Mock sympathy}Oh, Mortimer. You always had the gift of gaffe. HELLO Usually we punish people who come in here uninvited. But you've made such a splash, we don't have the heart. HELLO Your theatrics were just priceless. I salute you. HELLO The boy has seen too much! HELLO Trespasser! HELLO You don't belong here! HELLO Leave this instant! HELLO Outsiders are forbidden! HELLO That business at the Tops could never happen here. We don't admit that sort of riff-raff. HELLO I know Benny was murdered, but if you ask me, the real crime was that checkered jacket. HELLO A little bird told me Benny might be gone for good. He must've been in some delightful scandal to have run off so suddenly. HELLO {Amused}Those Omertas. Always plotting, never relevant. Bravo for putting them in their place like that. HELLO {Impressed}Word has it you were spotted entering the Lucky 38. How ever did you get on that guest list? HELLO Is it me or do the Securitrons seem... sassier? HELLO Whatever has become of Mr. House? He used to send a Securitron to our dinner parties sometimes, like an uninvited but harmless uncle. HELLO There's a rumor going around that you killed Caesar! I'm dying to know... is it true? That he used a hairpiece, I mean? HELLO Caesar may be dead, but I think the toga is here to stay. You simply can't buy better thigh accentuation. HELLO The Kings will be missed. Not by me, of course. But who will buy the food at the Tops now that no one needs it to grease their hair? HELLO It sounds like the Kings made nice with the NCR in Freeside. Seems there was room for two flies on the same bit of dung after all. HELLO Life at the top is immensely satisfying. HELLO You mustn't ask why we wear our masks. We are forbidden to speak of it. HELLO It must be horrible to live in places without luxury. HELLO {Relieved}That Fiend leader got what he fucking deserved. HELLO {Disappointed}Fuck that Fiend bastard. Wish I would've seen him die. HELLO {Pessimistic Resignation}Can't help thinking that we've not seen the last of the Fiends yet. HELLO {Relieved}I hope the Fiends have learned their lesson. HELLO {Relieved}Won't have to worry about those Fiend assholes for some time now, huh? HELLO {Surprised}I heard Mr. House's done for. I hope the Sewers don't turn for the worse. HELLO {Happily Surprised}We should reclaim the rest of city, if the rumors about House are true. HELLO {Lamenting}It's too bad the NCR boss got out alive. HELLO {Satisfied}Even Presidents die, huh? Good. HELLO {Pessimistic Resignation}Caesar's death don't change shit down here. HELLO {Defiant, then relieved}That Legion boss would've never taken the city, but I'm glad he's a goner. HELLO {Wishful Sarcasm}Wonder if we can move into the Sewers under the Strip now that Mr. House is outta business. HELLO The wind's changing. I can see trouble ahead. HELLO If there's war in the end, it won't affect our city. HELLO Rumors of imminent war have made it all the way down here. HELLO {Indolent}Going to stay down here until all the trouble outside blows over. HELLO Looks like the entire region's going straight where we are - knee-deep in shit. HELLO {Almost annoyed}Only one bad thing about the Thorn, it brings all the idiots, assholes and topsiders down here. HELLO {Excited}Going to place me a good bet at The Thorn. HELLO {Excited}One of these days, Red Lucy's going to show off her Deathclaws. HELLO {Dumbfounded}All hell broke loose when the creatures escaped from The Thorn! HELLO {Dumbfounded}Can't believe that The Thorn's no more. HELLO {Dumbfounded}Can't believe that The Thorn's no more. HELLO {Dumbfounded}Red Lucy was a fine warrior, and a beautiful woman. HELLO {Dumbfounded}We'll miss Red Lucy down here. HELLO {Slight Concern}The Hostetlers have gone through quite some trouble, lately. HELLO {Lamenting}Terrible thing, what happened to the Hostetlers. HELLO {Slight Sarcasm}Fiends don't come here no more, they say. HELLO {Slight Sarcasm}I bet NCR troops can't wait to clean the sewers. HELLO {Slight Sarcasm}New Vegas, paradise, my ass. HELLO {Slight Sarcasm}NCR came all the way to save us, huh? Guess they missed the shit-holes. HELLO {Slight Sarcasm}NCR should head back to their lands, I'm sure *their* people miss them. HELLO {Matter of Course Warning}Stay underground at night. HELLO {Matter of Course Warning}Watch out where you exit. Sewers can lead you to Fiend territory. HELLO {Matter of Course Warning}Keep an eye on your stuff. Damn thieves. HELLO {Matter of Course Warning}Don't go too far, it's all shadows and dangers in the lower levels. HELLO {Matter of Course Warning}Careful with those Fiends in the western sewers. HELLO {Anxious Apprehension}I need my fix. HELLO {Anxious Apprehension}I hurt all over. HELLO {Anxious Apprehension}Going to eat the next fucking rat I see. HELLO {Anxious Apprehension}Just got to find me some sweet Jet. HELLO {Beaten Resignation}Won't ever make enough to live outside. HELLO {Beaten Resignation}Can't go anywhere else. HELLO {Beaten Resignation}Don't think I'll make it topside any time soon. HELLO {Beaten Resignation}Smells like shit all the time, but at least we're safer than in the Wastes. HELLO {Drunk, guddday}Good day. HELLO {Drunk, rambling}Hey yeah. Hi. HELLO {Drunk, confused greeting}Was that a guy or a gal? Aw hell, I need to stop drinking. HELLO {Drunk, confused greeting}Ugh? HELLO {Drunk, confused}What the hell? I didn't eat any corn this week. HELLO {Drunk, yelling}Ya got any grog?! HELLO {Drunk, pathetic}Ya got any change, man? I've got two kids to feed. HELLO {Drunk, pathetic}Ya got any change, man? I've got three kids to feed. HELLO {Drunk, pathetic}Ya got any change, man? I've got seven kids to feed. HELLO {Drunk cheer}Woooooo! HELLO {Drunk rambling}You seen Gourd around? HELLO {Drunk rambling, indigestion}Oh, I don't think last night's rat is agreeing with me.{belch} HELLO {Drunk inquiry}Hey lady! I know you've got some hooch somewhere in there! HELLO {Drunk, comical}Hey! Nice hat, nancy boy! HELLO {Drunk rambling, hung over}Oh, my head is killing me. I need another drink. HELLO {Drunk whistle at the player}
HELLO {Drunk ramble}I swear Dixon's hooch is killing me. HELLO {Drunk ramble}Dixon's hooch may be cheap, but it tastes like it was filtered through a dirty sock. HELLO {Drunk cat call}Hey baby, I got what you need right here! {disgusting burb}
HELLO {Drunk cat call}Hey baby, I got what you need right here! {disgusting burb}
HELLO I wouldn't mind hitting that, does she put out? HELLO My buddy saw some sort of elite ranger squad the other day. They took out his group from a quarter mile off. HELLO I hear someone killed Motor-Runner. HELLO More tough Securitrons? Shit, now we really got to stay the fuck outta the Strip. HELLO I need to get some more chems. HELLO I'm getting the shakes. I need something to take the edge off. HELLO Damn, I think I got some bad shit. HELLO Get the fuck out of my face. HELLO What the fuck are you looking at? HELLO Goddamn, I need a fix. HELLO Hey, got any Jet? HELLO Kimball had it coming. Maybe the NCR will learn to stay the fuck out of{outta} other people's business. HELLO That NCR president somehow managed to survive a Legion hit. HELLO Motor Runner is dead? Who the fuck is going to be running the show now? HELLO Are the Khans going to keep selling us shit, if they join the Legion? HELLO {Laughs}House unplugged like a light. Wonder if he twitched before he bit it. HELLO {Laughs}House unplugged like a light. Wonder if he twitched before he bit it.

HELLO Fuck, where are we gonna get our shit from now that the Khans are all buddy buddy with the NCR. HELLO Fuck, where are we gonna get our shit from now that the Khans are all buddy buddy with the NCR. HELLO NCR is going to be rip shit about losing their little train.

HELLO Eesh, boss, are you trying to destroy my knees even faster than nature? HELLO Oh, wearing this is not going to be good to me. HELLO How'd you know I had a sweet tooth, boss? HELLO Ahh, sarsaparilla. That's just what this dry old throat needs. HELLO You're going to rot my teeth, boss. What's left of them, anyways. HELLO Yes? HELLO Hello. HELLO {Hopeful}I'm glad the President is still here to help us settle in these new territories. HELLO {Celebratory}House's dead, this time for good! HELLO Watch your step, sister.

HELLO This chainlink fence perimeter is worthless. We might as well be defending a cage from the inside. HELLO This place is off-limits to civilians. You don't like it, take it up with Lieutenant Haggerty. HELLO Pretty sure H.Q. has forgotten all about us. HELLO Who knows which side the Legion's gonna hit us from next? HELLO If the Legion breaks through our defenses, I got one bullet I'm saving just for me. HELLO We should be up on the front lines, not out here in bumblefuck. This place is a junkyard. HELLO We're supposed to be relieved any day. That's what they keep telling us. I don't think anyone's coming. HELLO Maybe that guy Fantastic wasn't an idiot. Maybe he was a genius. HELLO Damn that was some light show out there. HELLO That was blinding out there. Feels like I've been staring at the sun. HELLO Is the plant actually working again? HELLO The attacks have stopped. Winning the dam saved our asses. HELLO We lost Forlorn Hope. The eastern front is collapsing. They'll be here next. HELLO Heard the Brotherhood got smoked. Guess somebody finished what we started. HELLO With Caesar dead, maybe they'll stop attacking us. HELLO Let's get going! HELLO How did the Legion make it into the power plant? HELLO You need to get to the Legate! HELLO Don't shoot! HELLO Please don't kill me! HELLO I've never seen a ghoul up close. Not sure I wanted to. HELLO Make my day, mutant. HELLO I can take care of that robot problem for you. Just saying. HELLO Whatever you're selling, we have plenty. HELLO Once a republican, always a republican. HELLO You aren't stealing our medicine, are you, doc? HELLO You should get out of my face before you get yourself hurt. HELLO I don't know how you survived the bombardment. That's incredible. HELLO I'm happy you came along. You are the answer to our dreams. HELLO I can't believe we may see the superfortress built in my lifetime. HELLO Really? So we may see our dream of flight soon? HELLO I hear you're going to help us, I hope you're up for the task. HELLO I'm happy that we managed to raise the bomber in my lifetime. HELLO Thank you so much for your help. HELLO I didn't think the day would ever come, but thanks to you our dreams have come true! HELLO I'm amazed that an outsider has proven so helpful. HELLO You've given us the ability to touch the sky! Thank you. HELLO You've done us a great service. Thank you. HELLO You've done us a great service. Thank you for your help. HELLO Beats being on patrol. HELLO Just lost a month's caps...

HELLO {Day only}You should see this place at night. HELLO {Rueful}Looking to lose a few caps, huh? Just the place. HELLO {Subtly Fearful}The bots have enough firepower to arm a full platoon. HELLO {Matter of Fact}I won't be missing Mr. House, that's a given. The Strip's better off without him. HELLO {Satisfied}It was a matter of time before someone got to Mr. House. HELLO {Proud}NCR should take this chance, now that Mr. House's out of the way. HELLO {Relieved}Good riddance, Caesar! We can finally enjoy some R&R without worrying about a Legion attack at McCarran. HELLO {Suspicious}I tell you, something stinks about this Monorail attack! HELLO {Vengeful}My buddies at McCarran will find the asshole that destroyed our Monorail. HELLO {Vengeful}Once I'm done here, I hope they assign me to find the son of a bitch that took down our President. HELLO {Surprised} I heard it got nasty at the Tops; wish I could've seen the shooting. HELLO My buddies at Camp McCarran are breathing easy now that the Fiends' leader is dead. HELLO {Celebratory}Without leadership, the Fiends are as good as dead! HELLO Some President Kimball was. Chalk up another death to NCR incompetence. HELLO Good riddance. With Chief Hanlon dead, that's one less officer to lead the NCR troops. HELLO Too bad Hanlon is dead. It turns out he was trying to get the NCR out of the Mojave. HELLO The Fiends have been less organized with Motor Runner gone. Good riddance. HELLO Shouldn't be long before the Fiends are wiped out, now that their bosses are gone. HELLO Did you hear?

Bunch of people got hurt when some nut started attacking people. HELLO Some nut attempted to kill the head of one of Mr. House's Families recently. Whoever did it is either crazy or has balls the size of Freeside. HELLO Did you hear someone managed to fight their way through the Chairmen and flee the Strip after being caught? Wonder if they're hiding out in Freeside. HELLO Looks like Gomorrah's under new management. I wonder what happened? HELLO There's talk of someone going into the Lucky 38 to talk to Mr. House. That's bullshit. Everyone knows Mr. House doesn't talk to anyone. HELLO Man, I thought these tin cans of Mr. House's were tough before. Have you seen the shit they can do now? HELLO Is it true? Is Mr. House gone? HELLO Word on the street is that the leader of the Legion bought it. Too bad, someone was finally going to do something about all the NCR around here. HELLO There was some some kind of explosion to the east a little while ago. Has the fighting started? HELLO Did you hear? Someone bombed the monorail down at McCarran, so everyone's been forced to come through here to get to the Strip. Business is booming. HELLO Seems like they've got things straightened out in McCarran now, but we're still seeing a big increase in traffic here. HELLO I can't believe someone stopped the NCR president from getting killed. If anyone deserves it, it's that jerk. HELLO Someone took a shot at the NCR president, but the lucky bastard got away. Oh well, it was a good try. HELLO Hey, did you hear the NCR president got whacked? Good for whoever did it, I say. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. HELLO There's mutterings from the NCR people around here that some local hero of theirs died. Whatever. HELLO Turns out some military hero the Squatters admired was actually a slimeball. An NCR soldier who's actually a dick? Who would've thought? HELLO Heh, word is the leader of the Fiends got taken down. I would have done it myself, it he ever had the courage to step into Freeside. HELLO I heard that some of the bosses of the Fiends were killed. Wouldn't be surprised if the NCR had something to do with it. HELLO You hear the Legion attacked Bitter Springs? If we're lucky, the NCR will pull some of their soldiers away from here and send them that way. HELLO Word is the Khans signed a treaty with the NCR. Never saw that coming. HELLO The Khans used to be a big deal around here, but look at them now. There's talk that they were all killed up in the mountains. HELLO Weird, someone just told me that the Khans split the Vegas area. Wonder where they went, and why. HELLO I can't believe the King is dead. What's going to happen to us now? HELLO If you had asked me a month ago, I'd have said we'd never willingly work with the NCR. But look at us now. HELLO I still can't believe the King agreed to work with the NCR. But he's the King, and the King knows best. HELLO So far working with the NCR hasn't been too bad. If anything, things seem to be getting better. HELLO Great, just when you think the NCR can't possibly sink their claws deeper, the town of Primm signs up to join the Republic. HELLO Sounds like the NCR and the Legion are both gearing up for a fight. Been seeing a lot more soldiers around. HELLO The big showdown between the NCR and the Legion is coming soon, believe you me. HELLO I heard some Squatters talking about some fancy pants Rangers coming into the area soon. Like we need more NCR here. HELLO Word is those tough guys rangers are here. I ain't seen them myself, but how scary can they be? HELLO Everyone's talking about Hoover Dam nowadays. I wish the battle would just happen already. The suspense is killing me. HELLO Hey, isn't that the King's dog? HELLO If it isn't Rex! Haven't seen you in a while, boy. HELLO Hey Rexie, who's a good dog?

HVBrokenItemLine That armor isn't working. Leave it there. HVBrokenItemLine Good luck killing something with that. Thing's busted. HVHardinHELIOS HELIOS was the worst goddamned action I've seen in a long, long career of fighting. HVHardinInitialLine Nolan, we'll resume this discussion later. I can see you have company. HVHardinLastElder Elijah was a strange one. His even becoming Elder was highly questionable, seeing as how he was a Scribe. Typically, only Paladins are eligible. HVHardinLastElder But an exception was made in his case, on account of him being a genius. Unfortunately, whatever scientific acumen he had didn't extend to tactics. HVHardinLastElder Trying to defend HELIOS was a blunder of the worst kind, and many brothers lost their lives because of it. HVHardinLastElder Many of the senior paladins, myself included, advised him to fight a retreating action, but he refused to budge. Said he almost had it working"." HVHardinLastElder We never did find out exactly what he was talking about. When the perimeter was finally overrun, the Elder had simply vanished. HVHardinSoundsPlayerOut So, you're the outsider that's been given leave to wander around freely. Desperate times call for desperate measures, I guess. HVHardinSoundsPlayerOut Name's Hardin. I'm the Head Paladin of this chapter, and I think we might be able to help each other out. HVHardinSoundsPlayerOut I don't know what the Elder talked to you about, but I can tell you this chapter is in trouble, and he's at the center of it. HVHardinSoundsPlayerOut Are you willing to listen to what I have to say? HVHardinVeronica Veronica. HVHardinVeronica I hope you've been practicing your drills, Veronica. It's dangerous outside. HVHitSquadGreeting Traitor! Learn what it means to betray the Brotherhood of Steel! HVIbsenTenSeconds Ten seconds! HVIbsenThirtySeconds Thirty seconds left! HVIbsenVeronica Hmm? Oh, it's you, Veronica. HVIbsenVeronica Yes, yes. HVIbsenVirusEnd Damn, it's jumped! I thought we might have had it that time. HVIbsenVirusStart The virus just jumped! Find which terminals it went to! HVIbsenVirusWiped That's it! We got it! The virus has been purged! HVMcNamaraHardinOpening I understand your concern, Edgar, but the answer is no. HVMcNamaraHardinOpening Then what do you propose? Every day that he's here, the risk increases. HVMcNamaraHardinOpening And our chances of exposure might be one hundred percent if we act rashly. HVMcNamaraHardinOpening Better that than not act at all! HVMcNamaraHardinOpening No, I will not endanger the entire chapter so recklessly. HVMcNamaraHardinOpening Look, I've made my decision. Abide by it. I have other matters to attend to. HVMcNamExplainPresence You took an extreme risk in coming here. My policy towards trespassers has not been... lenient. HVMcNamExplainPresence The security of this bunker is my foremost concern, and I take pains to minimize our exposure topside. HVMcNamExplainPresence For this reason, I might be interested in contracting with an outsider, who can accomplish certain tasks - some basic, some a bit more... involved. HVMcNamExplainPresence An NCR Ranger has begun to set up post in one of the other bunkers up top, for example. I want him driven off. Understood? HVMcNamRangerAsk Yes, we could kill him easily enough. But sometimes you can learn a great deal by observing people, both enemies and friends. HVMcNamRangerAsk Which is why it will be very interesting to observe how you choose to deal with the situation, and decide which you are. Enemy, or friend? HVMcNamRangerAsk Do we understand one another? HVMcNamRangerDead How do you know he won't be missed, that other rangers won't come looking for him? Or NCR patrols? Did you just make matters worse? HVMcNamRangerDeadSafe Indeed he did. The collar includes a microphone, you see. Part of the test. HVMcNamRangerDeadSafe Had you told him the location of this bunker, for example... well, let's just say we wouldn't be having this conversation. HVMcNamRangerDeadSafe Given the circumstances, termination was the best option - so your actions demonstrated loyalty, good judgment, and prowess in combat. HVMcNamRangerDeadSpeech [SUCCEEDED] So you weighed the value of confirming if his location was known against your advantage of surprise. All right. HVMcNamRangerDeadSpeech [FAILED] What's in doubt isn't your ability to kill. It's your ability to be thorough. Your circumspection, so to speak. HVMcNamRangerDeadSpeech So again, I ask: How do you know that killing this ranger didn't make matters worse, exposing us to greater dangers? HVMcNamRangerFail That's right. Because you did nothing to find out. Your collar was rigged with a microphone, you see. Part of the test. HVMcNamRangerFail It would seem you are a brute, but even a brute can be of use. Particularly one capable of taking down an NCR Ranger one on one. HVMcNamRangerFail Since you completed your assigned task, I will allow you to come and go from the bunker freely. So let's get that collar off you. HVMcNamRangerFail There, that's better, I hope. Now that we have that bit of unpleasantness out of the way, there is a matter that I would like to discuss with you. HVMcNamRangerFail Stop by the command room when you can. Oh, and bear in mind, if you end up betraying us, we will know it - and there will be no mercy. HVMcNamRangerGone Gone? Why did he leave? And what makes you think he won't be back? HVMcNamRangerNo I never said the ranger had to be killed. And I wasn't giving you the option. I merely asked if you understood. HVMcNamRangerYes Very well. I'll be interested to see how thoroughly and efficiently you carry out your mission. HVMcNamRangerYes Paladin Ramos will escort you back to the bunker's entrance and set you loose. Notice that I said loose HVMcNamRangerYes You are not free to carry the secret of this bunker's location beyond Hidden Valley - until I'm convinced that you're capable and dependable. HVMcNamRangerYes To underscore this point, you'll be fitted with an explosive collar. Wander off, and it will detonate. Focus on your mission, and you'll be fine. HVMcNamStorePermission Very well. It's to our benefit that you'd be well-equipped. I'll send word ahead. HVPasswordPaladinAttack He's making a move! Stop him! HVPasswordPaladinAttack She's making a move! Stop her! HVPasswordPaladinNo Makes things simple for us. HVPasswordPaladinNoChance You don't seem to understand how close you are to being erased from existence. Will you, or will you not comply? HVPasswordPaladinTalkAboutThis There's nothing to talk over. You can strip down and hand over your equipment, or you can die. Will you comply? HVPasswordPaladinWhat I've told you what to do. Strip off your clothes and equipment, or face summary execution. Will you comply? HVPasswordPaladinYes Take it all off, and hand it to me. Then come inside, and through the door at the rear of the chamber. Paladin Ramos is waiting for you. HVRamosAskForWork Bored already? You should try living down here. Sorry, but I don't really have- oh, for Pete's sake, not again. HVRamosBosJoin You don't. Ever. You don't even think about it. HVRamosBosJoin Even if we did recruit trespassers, you're far too old for us. Your relationship to technology has already been perverted. HVRamosComment Great, looks like they're going at it again. HVRamosComment2 Give it a few moments. This won't take long, trust me. HVRamosExplainSneakedIn Okay. I'll take you to him. Follow me. Closely. Or you'll be shot. HVRamosIntercomGetRanger You'll find your belongings in the chest to your right. Don't come back until you've dealt with the ranger. HVRamosIntercomHello [You hear nothing.] HVRamosIntercomHello [You hear nothing.] HVRamosIntercomHello [You hear nothing.] HVRamosIntercomHello [You hear nothing.] HVRamosIntercomPassword {Thinks you're from one of the lost patrols}[You hear static.] HVRamosIntercomPassword We were getting a little worried. Where's your partner? No, on second thought, don't tell me. HVRamosIntercomPassword Give your report to the Elder, then have the doc look your over. Oh, and welcome back. HVRamosIntercomPassword [You hear static.] HVRamosIntercomPassword Stay where you are. I'm sending someone up to meet you. HVRamosLost Yes. Permanently, I'm afraid. HVRamosVeronica01 Behave yourself this time, Veronica. HVRamosVeronica01 Hey yourself, kiddo. HVRangerIntroIllBeGoing Ha! Just having some fun with you, waster. No harm done, right? What can I do for you? HVRangerIntroPowGangNot Exactly what powder ganger scum would say! Any last words before I pull this trigger? HVRangerIntroPowGangNot2 Relax, son. Just pulling your leg. What can I do for you? HVRangerIntroPowGangNot2 Relax, little lady. Just pulling your leg. What can I do for you? HVRangerIntroSpeech [SUCCEEDED] Ha! Got some stones on you, son. I like that. What can I do for you? HVRangerIntroSpeech [SUCCEEDED] Ha! Got some claws on you, little lady. I like that. What can I do for you? HVRangerIntroSpeech [FAILED] I'll point my rifle at anything and anyone I please to! Got that, powder ganger? HVRangerMessWithRadio Hey, what are you doing to my radio? HVRangerMessWithRadio You just had to go messing with my radio again, didn't you? HVRangerRadioDestroyed You did {stressed}not just destroy my radio. HVRangerRadioDisturbed You mess with a man's radio, and he might take it personal like, you hear? HVSchulerVeronica Quite well. Thank you for asking, Veronica. HVShootingRangeAllowed Sure. The elder's already given the okay. Unfortunately, you'll have to use your own weapons and ammo. HVShootingRangeAskAboutMissingWeapon Torres must be getting desperate if she's accepting help on this one. I'll tell you what I told her. HVShootingRangeAskAboutMissingWeapon My records show that Initiate Stanton was the last to check it out, but checked it back in a day later. HVStantonAskAboutWeapon Oh man, I told Watkins this wasn't going to work. HVStantonAskAboutWeapon Look, Watkins and I snuck out one day. She said it'd be a training exercise. HVStantonAskAboutWeapon Said she heard from a guy on one of the patrols that there was a gulch just southeast of here with scorpions in it, and that we had to check it out. HVStantonAskAboutWeapon There were scorpions out there, all right. We started using them for target practice, but before we knew it the damn things were all around us. HVStantonAskAboutWeapon So we made a run for it, and in all the commotion, I dropped my pistol. Watkins keeps urging me to go back and get it, but that's not gonna happen. HVStantonAskAboutWeapon You can go outside, though, can't you? You could return the pistol to Torres and clear this whole thing up for me. HVTaggartAskAboutSim Not far from it. When we reclaimed this bunker, I found a number of VR tapes. Most were corrupted, but a few programs still ran. HVTaggartAskAboutSim Using those as my foundation, I was able to code the training VR, as well as other applications. HVTaggartVeronica01 Y-Yes. Well, it's, ah, nice to see you, too, Veronica.{it's not} HVTaggartVeronica01 Hmph. HVTaggartVeronica02 Well, I {slightly stressed}have been working with some UV lights in the pods. HVTaggartVeronica02 Very funny, Veronica. HVTaggartVR Everyone in the base has to spend a minimum of five hours a week running tactical simulations, but outside that, interest is scarce. HVTaggartVR It wasn't always this way. When we first moved into the bunker, everyone was so excited that the VR systems were intact. HVTaggartVR Over time, though, my fellows have become listless and less entertained by the wonders of the technology around us. HVTaggartVR That's why Apprentice Watkins is such a joy to work with. Her unbridled enthusiasm for virtual combat is unparalleled. HVTaggartWhoAreYou Ah, the outsider. I suppose it's too much to ask that jarhead Ramos to keep outsiders away from my research. HVTaggartWhoAreYou I am Head Scribe Taggart, and I am much too busy to deal with the likes of you right now. HVTeacherLines Now, who can tell me the primary components of gunpowder? HVTeacherLines The principles of fusion are relatively simple. HVTeacherLines ...then you bring your second unit up to provide covering fire, like so... HVTorresFoundGun Oh thank god. Hardin was about to start an inquiry into the whole affair, and more than a few heads would have rolled as a result. HVTorresFoundGun Since you helped me, I'll tell you what. I work on some of our busted weapons in my spare time, so I have a few pieces that are kept off the books. HVTorresFoundGun Here, take this. I hope it comes in handy. HVTorresHaventFoundGun Then we have nothing further to talk about. HVTorresVeronica Can't complain. Not like there's anywhere else to go, right? HVTorresVeronica With everyone getting to go to the surface, I'm a little jealous, but I'll be fine. HVVeronicaEnter I'd like a large Atomic Shake and a double Brahmin burger. And easy on the {uh-GAW-vee}agave sauce this time. HVVeronicaEnter We gave you a password, Veronica. It's for your safety. HVVeronicaEnter I know where you live {RAY-mos}Ramos. Open up. HVVeronicaEnter {Annoyed}
For Pete's sake. Opening up. {Still annoyed, but meaning it}Welcome back, Veronica.
HVVeronicaEnterIntro Hold on, I've got this. HVWatkinsVeronica01 Still hiding that hair of yours, Veronica? HVWatkinsVeronica01 I'm surprised you're not wearing that hood to hide your hair like you usually do, Veronica. HVWatkinsVeronica02 {Dislikes her intensely}Veronica. IdleChatter Huh? IdleChatter {Introspective}Chair... empty? Head voices say so. IdleChatter {Matter-of-fact}Head voices say silver chair flies east. IdleChatter {Laughing}Chip slippery!

JackandDianeCaesar Huh? Look, man, me and Diane, we don't dig on that politics stuff, savvy? We just make the product and make it get to a good home. JackandDianeCaesar Sure, Caesar's a drag, but as long as we got each other, we don't care who the top dogs roll with. JackandDianeCaesar Huh? Look, kitty cat, me and Diane, we don't dig on that politics stuff, savvy? We just make the product and make it get to a good home. JackandDianeCaesar Sure, Caesar's a drag, but as long as we got each other, we don't care who the top dogs roll with. JackandDianeCaesar Well, it's not like I'm super-attached to working with Caesar or anything, but if it'll stop his patrols from harassing my runners, I'm all for it. JackandDianeCaesar Papa hasn't steered us wrong yet. JackandDianeInfo Do? We don't, like, do anything. We make the magic happen. JackandDianeInfo We keep the Great Khans from falling apart, essentially. Jack manufactures the chems, I organize the runners and the shipments. JackandDianeKhans They're family, you dig? They've always looked out for us, made sure we had something to eat and a place to crash. JackandDianeKhans Papa may look like a big angry bear, but he's a softie at heart. Regis is cool - scary, but cool. The rest are all pretty groovy, even little Jerry. JackandDianeKhans I'll spare you the history lesson - talk to Papa Khan if you want to hear that story. JackandDianeKhans Things have been rough for a while now, even with Jack working all the time and my runners making deliveries daily we're barely getting by. JackandDianeKhans Maybe this alliance with Caesar will help, but I don't know. JackCaesar Oh, it's cool, man. Diane passed me the haps on that fandango with Anders. I got your back. JackCaesar Oh, it's cool, man, I got your back. JackCaesar Huh? Look, man, me and Diane, we don't dig on that politics stuff, savvy? We just make the product and make it get to a good home.

I whipped up a few Stimpaks already, but if you've got any more recipes I'll take them. JackDianeMedicine What do you mean, helpful? My stuff already makes people feel groodalicious. JackDianeMedicine Yeah, you made a pretty good argument. We'll keep it small for now, but if it turns a profit we might expand. JackDianeMedicine Helpful? What, like bathtub Stimpaks? What's the point of that? JackMerchant Oh, you're buying? Cool. JackMerchant Oh, you're buying? Tell you what, since you've been acting all, well, random lately, how about a discount? Might calm you down. JackMerchant Jack handles the small-time purchases. You should talk to him unless you're looking for a major shipment. JackMisfits Groovetastic. Tell him it's on his tab. JackRecipes Right on. What have you got? JamesGarretHadrian Now why would I want to do that? His performances make me quite a lot of money. JamesGarretHadrian Oh really? Are you going to waste my time again, or do you have something substantive to offer? JasonBrightAbout I am Jason Bright, the prophet of the Great Journey. All the ghouls you see here are members of my flock. JasonBrightAbout An auspicious name, don't you think? It was mine before I became as I am now. Before the Great War, even. JasonBrightAbout Truly does the creator author a destiny for each and every one of us... JasonBrightAlreadyHelpingChris It pleases me to hear this. Truly, the creator sent you to help us in our time of need. JasonBrightChrisAbout You're referring to Chris. I doubt you had much luck if you tried telling him that he's human. JasonBrightChrisAbout We had the same discussions when he first appeared, and the same lack of success. He believes he is one of us. JasonBrightChrisAbout Soon enough we realized that Chris was a gift from the creator. He is integral to the success of the Great Journey. JasonBrightChrisAbout After all that you have done for us, I suppose you deserve to know everything... JasonBrightChrisAbout When Chris came to us, we tried to convince him that he was human. But this only angered him. He seemed... lost. JasonBrightChrisAbout We decided to let him stay with us for a few days, over the course of which we learned that his technical skills far surpassed our own. JasonBrightChrisAbout It became clear that the creator had sent him to us, to ensure the success of the Great Journey. JasonBrightChrisAbout Equally clear was that Chris should labor in blessed ignorance of his humanity, and his inability to make the journey himself. JasonBrightChrisAbout It is no coincidence that two humans have been vital to the success of the Great Journey. JasonBrightChrisAbout It is my belief that the creator sent you and Chris to expiate the sins of your kind against mine. You are redeemers both. JasonBrightChrisAbout Such is the creator's will. Vision upon vision has shown me that, were Chris to accompany us, he would die in minutes. JasonBrightChrisAbout The radiation around the launch pad alone would kill Chris in minutes. The radioactivity of the Far Beyond is much stronger. JasonBrightChrisAllow Chris shall be declared the Saint of the Great Journey before we depart. I hope this will ease his sadness... JasonBrightChrisApprove I take no pleasure in hiding the truth from Chris. But it is the creator's will, to which I must submit. JasonBrightChrisDisapprove It is the creator's will, and I must submit. There is no malice in it. We would take him with us if we could. JasonBrightFarBeyond I have glimpsed it only in visions, wanderer, but what I have seen is truly miraculous. JasonBrightFarBeyond It is a place of light and healing, and I know in my soul that my flock will be safe there. JasonBrightGreatJourney We wish to escape the barbarity of the wasteland, especially the violence and bigotry of its human inhabitants. JasonBrightGreatJourney The creator has promised to my flock a new land: a place of safety and healing... a paradise in the Far Beyond. JasonBrightGreatJourney Preparations for the Great Journey were nearly complete when the demons appeared. JasonBrightGreatJourney The means by which the Great Journey is to be accomplished are an article of faith, not to be discussed with outsiders. JasonBrightGreatJourney Yes. The rockets will convey us to our promised land in the Far Beyond. Vision upon vision has confirmed it. JasonBrightGreatJourney I understand your concerns, friend, and I thank you for voicing them. But the creator's will for us has been made manifest. JasonBrightGreatJourney I understand your concerns, friend, and I thank you for voicing them. But the creator's will for us has been made manifest. JasonBrightKeepTalking Please do. JasonBrightNightkinAbout The demons appeared from nowhere... except it might be more accurate to say they never actually appeared" at all." JasonBrightNightkinAbout The demons are invisible. Where one of them stands, the most one sees is the air shimmering, like sunlight on water... JasonBrightNightkinAbout They set upon us as we were on our way to worship one morning. We had just entered the basement. JasonBrightNightkinAbout My flock fought bravely, and killed a few, but at such cost. Nearly half of us died or went missing. JasonBrightNightkinAbout The rest of us retreated up here. One of the demons raved at us, but they have not tried to attack us since. JasonBrightNightkinAbout Still, their demonic presence brought all progress towards the Great Journey to a standstill. JasonBrightNightkinAbout But now you have come. Once again, the creator has sent a human to help us across a seemingly insurmountable obstacle. JasonBrightNightkinAbout Yes, over the intercom. Threats of death should we step outside, guarantees of safety should we stay locked away. JasonBrightNightkinAbout It went on for hours, and did not always make sense. But that was the first day only. Since then, silence. JasonBrightNightkinAbout Will you drive away the demons, wanderer? JasonBrightNightkinAbout Yes, wanderer? JasonBrightNightkinGone Praise the creator! And bless you, wanderer! The way is clear. I will lead my flock through the basement to the sacred site! JasonBrightNightkinGone I hope you will come find us there, wanderer! There is much to be done. JasonBrightNightkinGone I understand. I know you will fulfill your promise. JasonBrightNightkinNo But we have no hope of completing the Great Journey without your help! JasonBrightNightkinNo I pray that you will reconsider, wanderer. JasonBrightNightkinYes Praise the creator. Bless you, wanderer! Bless us all! JasonBrightNightkinYes With the underground rid of demons, preparations for the Great Journey can resume! JasonBrightNightkinYes Praise the creator. Bless you, wanderer! Bless us all! JasonBrightNightkinYes As soon as the underground has been rid of demons, preparations for the Great Journey can resume! JasonBrightNovacFeralGhouls And they've been shooting them down like animals, haven't they? JasonBrightNovacFeralGhouls Those ghouls were members of my flock, even after the madness consumed their minds. We never let them wander free. JasonBrightNovacFeralGhouls We kept them safe on the first floor. We kept them contained. The demons must have let them out, somehow... JasonBrightNovacFeralGhouls And now they are lost forever, denied the salvation and healing glow of the Far Beyond... JasonBrightNovacFeralGhouls Please, wanderer, bear in mind that every feral ghoul you spare now is one that we can save later. JasonBrightNovacFeralGhouls Once the way is clear, our feral brothers and sisters will accompany us on the Great Journey. If there are any left... JasonBrightNovacGhoulicide I wish I could say I was surprised. But that is what we've come to expect from your kind. JasonBrightNovacGhoulicide Normally, it's what I'd expect from you. But it was the creator who brought you here today. JasonBrightSpeech1 Gather, all. May the creator guide my words and help me speak true... JasonBrightSpeech2 The almighty creator has seen fit to answer our prayers. The time has come for us to board the rockets and begin the Great Journey. JasonBrightSpeech3 Though it may seem that all humans despise us, the creator has seen fit to instruct us differently. JasonBrightSpeech4 The Journey ahead would have been impossible if not for the intercession of two human friends, one new, the other a long-abiding companion. JasonBrightSpeech5 To our new friend, we say thanks, and promise never to forget how he cleared from our path the demons who sought to stay our Journey. JasonBrightSpeech6 But to Chris, we owe more than thanks. Chris, you have made this Great Journey a reality. JasonBrightSpeech7 From this moment forward, you will be remembered as the Saint of the Great Journey. We shall never forget you. JasonBrightSpeech8 I ask that you forgive us, Chris, and give us your blessing, and we bestow ours upon you. JasonBrightSpeech9 Seekers, board the rockets, take your seats. The Great Journey awaits! To the promised land we go! To the Far Beyond! JeannieCrawfordGoingOn Well, let's see. Dusty McBride's been losing some Brahmin, but that's probably the heat more than anything. Honestly, it's been real quiet. JeannieCrawfordGoingOn Ranger Andy's still hurt, but we got these two gentlemen snipers watching the road day and night, keeping the trash out of Novac. JeannieCrawfordGoingOn They've been a blessing. JeannieCrawfordMetYet Oh, what am I doing? I got to thinking about making a good impression and plain forgot to tell you my name. JeannieCrawfordMetYet I'm Jeannie May. I take care of folks here at the motel. Long as they aren't trouble makers. JeannieCrawfordQuestTurnIn Well, saints alive. That is a load off. Nothing to be done, though. Those ghouls just didn't know when they weren't wanted. Couldn't take a hint. JeannieCrawfordQuestTurnIn And aren't you just the most unexpected gift our little town ever had? Here, take this. And go buy yourself something nice. JeannieCrawfordQuestTurnIn Leave? I don't believe that was what was discussed. They could be back tomorrow knocking on my door wanting hand-outs. JeannieCrawfordQuestTurnIn I'm sorry, I know what I promised, but my mind is just not at ease about this. I'm afraid I can't pay you for what you done. JeannieCrawfordRepcon I just know what I've heard. There's supposed to be some ghouls that went in a while back. JeannieCrawfordRepcon Every so often there'll be a commotion from that direction - explosions and such. JeannieCrawfordSorry Well it is. Not everybody appreciates it like they oughtta. JeannieCrawfordSupplies Go see Cliff Briscoe at the Dino Bite Gift Shop, and tell him I sent you. JeannieCrawfordSupplies I think he gets lonely standing around in that dino belly all day. He'll be glad for the company. JeannieCrawfordWayOut You can jump out the window, for all I care, mister. JeannieCrawfordWayOut You got no right to come in here and start criticizing our town. Folks work hard to keep it clean and safe. JeannieCrawfordWayOut We do the best we can. But still there's always some of you finicky types that there's just no pleasing. JeannieCrawfordWayOut You can jump out the window, for all I care, lady. JeannieCrawfordWayOut You got no right to come in here and start criticizing our town. Folks work hard to keep it clean and safe. JeannieCrawfordWayOut We do the best we can. But still there's always some of you finicky types that there's just no pleasing. JeannieCrawfordWhatToDo Well, there's Dinky, the town mascot. He's a sight. You probably already saw him when you came in, but you can go up inside, too. JeannieCrawfordWhatToDo Up the road a ways to the west, there's REPCONN. That's the old rocket factory. JeannieCrawfordWhatToDo There's been some sinister characters out there lately, so you may want to stay clear. JeannieCrawfordWhatToDo Other than that, nothing to do but take it easy and enjoy good company. JeannieCrawfordWhereAmI We're in a little desert oasis, name of Novac.

JerryPoetry Ow, ow, ow, ow... ow. JerryPoetry {Clear throat, begin reciting}I wrote this limerick the last time I went to Freeside.

JerryPoetry She flashed it around, all over town, JerryPoetry so if you would screw her, beware it. JerryPoetry {back to normal speaking}I, uh, got kicked out of the Atomic Wrangler for that one.

JNashAboutBisonSteve It's an old hotel and casino here in town. Old Laurie used to rent out rooms there, but she took off months ago. JNashAboutBisonSteve Across the way from the Vikki and Vance, the other old casino. Can't miss it. JNashAboutLaw Well, you can call Beagle a deputy so long as you don't harbor too high an opinion of the word. JNashAboutLaw Boy was 'bout as useful as tits on a radscorpion. Only qualification he ever had was to be brother to the wife of the sheriff. JNashAboutLaw Still, I s'pose he don't deserve what's befell him. We would've considered paying the ransom, if we'd had caps to spare. JNashAboutLaw {Sarcasm}I feel safer already. {harrumphs}Meanwhile, there's still more of them Powder Gangers out there than I care to count. JNashAboutLaw What we need around here is a real sheriff. Someone who can help fight off the next attack. JNashAboutLaw Kind of too bad you didn't do it the other way around! {chuckles}Primm ain't got no future until rule of law comes back to town. JNashAboutLaw Finally decided to make yourself useful, huh? If you can bring the law back to Primm, we'll all be in your debt. JNashAboutPrimm Let's see. Been tough around here for a good while now. Worse since them thugs kidnapped our deputy. JNashAboutPrimm It started with that breakout from the prison up the road. First there was just a few thugs rolling through town, but then they got organized. JNashAboutPrimm Now they call themselves Powder Gangsters or something, and run around throwing dynamite and shooting people. JNashAboutPrimm Little while ago a good chunk of them left whatever kind of organization they got up there to squeeze all the food and drink out of us they could. JNashAboutVikkiVance That's where we are. This here little casino brought some cash and bodies into the town before them Powder Gangsters came in. JNashAboutVikkiVance They can't rush us without eating a good bit of hot lead, but we are in kind of a box canyon. Guess this is as fitting a place for that as any. JNashAboutVikkiVance I reckon if they thought hard enough about it, they'd realize they got more bodies than we have bullets, but for now we're safe enough in here. JNashBarter Sure, have a look. JNashBarter Well yes and no. My shop's got plenty of stock. JNashBarter Problem is I ain't going into my shop until I know it's good and safe. JNashBarter Give me a moment to get back to my shop and I'll show you my stock. JNashBarter Things are pretty good with Meyers watching over us. I can give you a little bit of a discount. JNashBarter Yep, and I got more ammunition now that the NCR keeps supplies flowing in. JNashBarter On the other hand I'm payin' them NCR taxes, so now you got to as well. JNashChipInfo You take care of our problems here and I'll give you the information that you need. JNashChipInfo Them Powder Gangsters got our deputy locked up in the Bison Steve. Be nice to get him out of there... but this town's gonna need some real law. JNashChipInfo One of the first things them punks did when they came in was to kill our sheriff. You find us a new one and we can talk. JNashChipInfoDUPLICATE000 {edited line}Beagle had some notes he was taking while he was eavesdropping around the Powder Gangsters. He'll be your best source of information on that subject. JNashCourier Well, I don't got any work right now, sorry to say. JNashCourier {edited line}I'll tell you whatever I can. Do you have a delivery order you can show me? JNashHowLaw You done everything you could, youngster. It's over for Primm. Ain't nothing to be done about it. JNashHowLaw {edited line}Well I guess you're gonna have to find us a new lawman. JNashHowLaw I suggest talking to those NCR troopers across the bridge. I also overheard the Powder Gangsters talking about some ex-sheriff on lockdown there. JNashHowLaw Right now Beagle is the closest Primm's got to any organized law, but he's still stuck up in Bison Steve. JNashHowLaw First thing I'd say his get his sorry butt outta there. JNashHowLaw Your guess is good as mine. You might luck upon someone who's a natural-born sheriff. JNashHowLaw I heard of one fella what got himself locked in that NCR jailhouse up I-15. Maybe that ain't the best credential, but a sheriff's a sheriff. JNashHowLaw I imagine the NCR would be able to bring some law to the town, too. But from what I seen they barely got the firepower to protect themselves. JNashHowLaw With the NCR driven off? I figure our only hope'd be for someone like you to find us someone who's crazy or dimwitted enough to take the job. JNashHowLaw With Meyers dead and his deputies gone, Primm's only hope is to accept NCR rule. If you run across one of their patrols, tell 'em so. JNashInfo100Caps Well, come back and see me after you find some caps somewheres and put 'em on you! JNashInfo100Caps Well, I swore not to say a word, but an NCR deserter passed through some days ago and traded for supplies. JNashInfo100Caps According to him, the NCR's decided enough's enough and's going to send in a mess of troops to take back the prison any day now. JNashInfoBarter [SUCCEEDED] I guess that'll do. JNashInfoBarter I swore not to say a word to no one, but an NCR deserter passed through some days ago and traded for supplies. JNashInfoBarter According to him, the NCR's decided enough's enough and's going to send in a mess of troops to take back the prison any day now. JNashInfoBarter [FAILED] Then I guess you won't be knowing more, eh? But you know where to find me, should you change your mind. JNashInfoNoThanks If you change your mind, you know where to find me. JNashInfoSpeech [SUCCEEDED] Hold on there! With everything you already done for this town, I'd feel ungrateful as hell if I let you risk yourself for no good reason! JNashInfoSpeech He made me swear not to say a word to no one, but an NCR deserter passed through some days ago and traded for supplies. JNashInfoSpeech According to him, the NCR's decided enough's enough and's going to send in a mess of troops to take back the prison any day now. JNashInfoSpeech [SUCCEEDED] No need to get upset, youngster! We're all friends here! JNashInfoSpeech I swore not to say a word to no one, but an NCR deserter passed through some days ago and traded for supplies. JNashInfoSpeech According to him, the NCR's decided enough's enough and's going to send in a mess of troops to take back the prison any day now. JNashInfoSpeech [FAILED] Sorry, youngster. I'm a trader, and if something's got value, I can't give it away for nothing. JNashNews We got rule of law again, but of the martial variety. NCR orders us around like junior soldiers. Better than lawlessness, though. JNashNews Got a new sheriff, as you know. Meyer's a bit rougher-hewn than I might've liked, but he seems like a good sort. So far, so good. JNashPowderGangster Gangers, gangsters, all sounds like trouble to me. JNashWhoAreYou Johnson Nash's my name. Husband to Ruby Nash. Lived in Primm going on eight years now, thick and thin. JNashWhoAreYou I'm a trader primarily, for what it's worth with things like they are. I also run the local Mojave Express outpost. JulieFarkasAddiction This should have you cleaned up in no time. JulieFarkasHeal This should help with the pain. JulieFarkasJerry We're always looking for new members. Does he have any particular talent? JulieFarkasKhans The Great Khans? Oh, you mean those raiders that used to clash with the Vegas tribes? JulieFarkasKhans Yes, some years back we taught them reading, writing, basic science - we hoped they would use it to make medical supplies, but they turned to drugs. JulieFarkasKhans I was never much involved in the cultural side of that project, but Ezekiel was. JulieFarkasRads This should flush those rads out quickly. KarlCaesar My name is Karl. Glorious Caesar has sent me as an emissary to the Great Khans as a token of our alliance. KarlCaesar {Amused}You march all the way out to Red Rock Canyon, enter my home as bold as you please, and you have no idea who I am? You've got guts, I'll give you that. KarlCaesar Well, then, let me educate you: I am the chief of the Great Khans - the Khan of Khans, if you like. This is my tribe and these are my people. KarlCaesar Name's Regis - I'm Papa Khan's advisor and right-hand man. I'm also the chief enforcer of the tribe's laws - so watch your behavior. KarlGreatKhans {Shifty, doesn't really believe what he's saying.}They're a tribe of fine warriors, with many proud traditions and a glorious history. They will be worthy additions to the Legion. KarlGreatKhans [SUCCEEDED] Join? Oh, no, I simply couldn't. That is... I'm {choking on this, REALLY hates to say it}not worthy of such an honor. KarlGreatKhans [FAILED] Alas, my first loyalty is to Caesar, and a soldier cannot have two masters. KeithCaravan You got it. KeithDice [FAILED] I guess Lady Luck just smiles on me, that's all. Nothing special about it. KeithDice [SUCCEEDED] You know how they say you make your own luck? Let's just say I make mine with a little extra ink on the cards. KeithDrugs [FAILED] What? Are you some kind of idiot? Why, uh... why would I know that? KeithDrugs [SUCCEEDED] Oh, I getcha. Lookin for a slightly more chemical thrill? KeithDrugs Okay, I tell you what - I happen to keep some Jet around for emergencies. 35 caps and it's yours. KeithIntro Name's Keith. You feeling lucky?

LostToNormal Must've scared them off. LostToNormal Call off the search. They got away. LostToNormal Damn it, they're not here. LostToNormal All clear. LostToNormal What a punk. LostToNormal Chicken ass. LostToNormal Time to find some more psycho. LostToNormal {giving up search}I scared them away. {Hmph!}No match for the Legion. LostToNormal {giving up search}I'll kill them if they come back. LostToNormal {giving up search}It seems they ran off. LostToNormal {giving up search}I guess the outsider left. LostToNormal {giving up search}I bet the coward ran back to those NCR fools. LostToNormal {giving up search}Guess they're too scared to fight. LostToNormal I got you next time.

LostToNormal Let's bounce, boys. LostToNormal Guess he's gone. LostToNormal Guess she's gone. LostToNormal {giving up search}I'll kill them if they come back.

LostToNormal Doubtless they ran away in sheer terror of the mighty Raul! Oh, and you too, boss. LostToNormal Guess they got rattled. LostToNormal Get 'em next time.

LostToNormal This battlefield now belongs to Uncle Sam! LtHayesGoodbye Fine by me. LtHayesHelpPrimm We know Primm is a great strategic point, and we aren't blind to the needs of the town, but we're barely holding our own against the Powder Gangers. LtHayesHelpPrimm We don't have the guns or the personnel needed to carry out our mission, much less take on defending this town as well. LtHayesHelpPrimm Have you gotten us any additional support yet? LtHayesHelpPrimm Yes, I just got word of that. There's a squad of rangers standing by. LtHayesHelpPrimm Sergeant McGee will take over as sheriff and the rangers will be his deputies. This town will be an NCR territory. LtHayesHelpPrimm This means that aside from protection, the citizens will also need to become registered NCR citizens and pay any appropriate and associated taxes. LtHayesHelpPrimm That ranger squad is still standing by, and McGee is anxious to take over as sheriff. Are you ready for me to make the call? LtHayesNcrLawNevermind Yeah, good luck with that. LtHayesPrisonAttack Some Powder Gangers did you wrong, is that it? Get in line. LtHayesPrisonAttack Still, you do look capable enough, and manpower hasn't been easy to come by... LtHayesPrisonAttack All right. Fine by me if you want to put yourself in harm's way. I'll mark the staging area on your map. Talk to Sergeant Lee. LtHayesPrisonAttackDont I don't remember saying there was going to be an attack on the prison, waster. You've overstayed your welcome. LtHayesPrisonAttackFail That explains why there's been no sit-rep from Sergeant Lee. LtHayesPrisonAttackFail It took months to get authorization for that assault. It'll be a long time before we take on the Powder Gangers again. LtHayesPrisonAttackSpeech [SUCCEEDED] Some Powder Gangers did you wrong, is that it? Well, get in line. LtHayesPrisonAttackSpeech Still, you do look capable enough, and manpower hasn't been easy to come by... LtHayesPrisonAttackSpeech All right. If you want to put yourself in harm's way, I'll help you do it. I'll mark the staging area on your map. Talk to Sergeant Lee. LtHayesPrisonAttackSpeech [FAILED] I don't know how they'll do it without you - if they are going to do it - but I guess they'll have to manage. Now get out of here. LtHayesPrisonAttackSuccess I'm not surprised. Criminals like to act tough, but they're no match for military discipline. LtHayesVMS04ChompsDead I see. Thanks for saving us the trouble. LtHayesVMS04ExposeChomps All right. I'll have him brought in for questioning. LtHayesVMS04ExposeTyrone Tyrone wasn't authorized to deliver any of this. There were reports of our supplies being used by the Great Khans to make illegal chems. LtHayesVMS04ExposeTyrone Until now, we've never had any hard evidence. Most of the chems end up with the Fiends, a group of crazies the NCR tangles with regularly. LtHayesVMS04ExposeTyrone We'll have to conduct a thorough investigation of all our quartermasters, and crack down on sloppy record-keeping. Thank you. LtHayesVMS04ExposeTyrone Other than Tyrone, were any other NCR citizens involved in this smuggling operation? LtHayesVMS04HideChomps All right. Thanks for all your help. LtHayesWhatYouDo We were sent out here to hold back the tide of convicts from the correctional facility. LtHayesWhatYouDo As you can probably tell, we aren't doing the kind of job we could be doing. LtMarklandAid {Pleased}Hey, if you can help, I'll take whatever I can get. Doctor's Bags would be a huge help, but what I really need are medical texts. LtMarklandAid I'm not trained to deal with major psychological trauma, and we've got a lot of kids in this camp. LtMarklandAid What I really need are medical texts - books on psychology or pediatrics, specifically. LtMarklandAid What I really need is a book on psychology. Something for post-traumatic stress. LtMarklandAid What I really need is a book on pediatric medicine. We've got a lot of sick and injured kids here. LtMarklandAid {Frustrated}Doctor's bags would be a huge help, but what I really need are medical texts. LtMarklandAid I'm not trained to deal with major psychological trauma, and we've got a lot of kids in this camp. LtMarklandMedicine {Excited}Both of them? Wow, that's very resourceful. Thank you. LtMarklandMedicine {Pleased}That's great! Thank you. I'm sure this will go a long way toward making things better here. LtMarklandMedicine {Pleased}This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Thank you. LtMarklandNullLink Doctor's Bags would be a huge help too. LtMarklandNullLink {Grateful}I think that should just about cover us. I really don't know how to thank you, bringing me these supplies saved a lot of people. LtMarklandSupplies {Grateful}Are you kidding? The supplies in this are going to save lives. Thank you. LtMarklandSupplies2 {Grateful}Thank you, this will keep us well-stocked for a good long while. LtMarklandSupplies3 {Grateful}These will be a big help, thanks. LtMarklandTraining {Happy}Thank you, that was very helpful. I don't think I'll need those books after all. MagsArmy I guess I wanted to make something of myself, you know? Be the best of the best. I *wanted* to be a ranger, but... guess this is as close as I get. MagsCampGolf Easy - this is where they send all the fuck-ups and people they don't want. But hey, it's not like I'm bitter or anything. MagsHistory Not much to tell, really. I grew up in New Reno, joined up, took my shot at being a Ranger. Didn't make it, so I'm stuck with this crew of jokers. MagsMisfits Yeah. I mean, no, they're okay people, but they don't care, y'know? They don't have any ambition. No drive. MagsMisfits They're slacking off, and that reflects badly on me. MagsShapeUp1 Boy, the squad sure is working together a lot better now! I think we're gonna be A-Okay! MagsShapeUp1 To me? Well, I'll tell you what I think this squad needs: a little more basic human niceness. MagsShapeUp1 It helped, but we've still got a grenade range inspection to pass. MagsShapeUp1 It really, really didn't. MagsShapeUp1 Not even a little bit, no. MagsShapeUp1 Yeah, what about it? I told you, we need marksmanship and explosive handling improvements. MagsShapeUp1 Like I said, you get the juice, we'll cut loose. MagsShapeUp1 And what do you propose? MagsShapeUp1 You did? Does that mean you're going to help? MagsShapeUp1 Thanks to you, I think we're in good shape. The squad seems to be functioning much better as a unit now. MagsShapeUp1 He did, huh? Well, good luck with that. You'd have an easier time teaching radroaches to march in formation. MagsShapeUp1 Hoo-hoo! Hot damn, it's gonna be a party in the camp tonight! MagsShapeUp1 Yo, I'll tell you what this squad needs. A healthy dose of angry juice. MagsShapeUp1 You actually did it? My friend, I am without doubt a genius, but I must say, you've given me a run for my money. Bravo. Bravo. MagsShapeUp1 That seems highly illogical. What reason would he have for doing that? MannyVargasMVQ01Answer The guy you're looking for, Benny, he was traveling with some members from my old gang. They were going to Boulder City. MannyVargasProtectTownFrom You name it. Anything that comes within a thousand yards that looks like trouble. MannyVargasProtectTownFrom Lately we been getting ghouls, coming from the road to REPCONN, out to the west. Quite a few, last couple days. MannyVargasProtectTownFrom The big threat is the Legion coming from the East. If they decide to attack with a full force they'll run us over. But so far we been lucky. MannyVargasVMQ01 Sure, I know him. What do you want with him? MannyVargasVMQ01 This again? You gonna help me out with what I need, or not? MannyVargasVMQ01TurnIn Really? Unbelievable, man! I knew that wasn't gonna be easy. MannyVargasVMQ01TurnIn But I had a good feeling about you. You look like you been through a lot. MannyVargasWhatArgueWithBoonesWife Man, you name it. MannyVargasWhatArgueWithBoonesWife See, I grew up in North Vegas. Me and my cousins. We were some bad seeds. Got in with a gang. I loved it. MannyVargasWhatArgueWithBoonesWife Then something happened, and I couldn't handle it anymore. MannyVargasWhatArgueWithBoonesWife So, I enlisted. Earned my future. Brought down my best friend to share that future with me. MannyVargasWhatArgueWithBoonesWife And here was this woman who was too good for it, trying to take him away. So yeah. I didn't see eye-to-eye with the bitch. MannyVargasWhatGangWereYouIn Were they tough? I was in the Khans, man. It doesn't get any badder. MannyVargasWhoAreYou I'm Manny. I'm on security detail here. MannyVargasWhoAreYou You see a rifle barrel sticking out of the dinosaur's mouth, you got a fifty-fifty shot it's me. Otherwise it's Boone. MannyVargasWhosBoone Boone's a sniper, same as me. Used to spot for him when we were enlisted with the NCR. MannyVargasWhosBoone After we got out, I talked him into settling down here. So, here we are. MannyVargasWhosBoone I'd introduce you, but uh... we're not so friendly right now. MannyVargasWhyOnBadTerms Me and his wife, we didn't see eye-to-eye on some things. We had some pretty big arguments. MannyVargasWhyOnBadTerms One day she turns up missing, and he hasn't said a word to me since. MarilynJaneAttack Aw, sugar, why'd you have to go make Mr. House mad? Now we've got to get all messy shooting you to little bits. MarilynJaneHouse Why, sugar, he's the maximum utmost! If it weren't for Mr. House, we wouldn't have this fabulous wonderland of New Vegas, would we? MarilynJaneLucky38 This is the Lucky 38 Resort and Casino - or, it used to be. Mr. House has kept the place locked up tight for ages now, nobody comes in or out. MarilynJaneSecuritrons Why I'm a RobCo PDQ-88b {Mark}Mk I Securitron, you silly goose! We're the finest in personal or civil robotic security on the market! MarilynJaneSecuritrons How sweet of you to notice, sugar! I've been upgraded to the Mark II software, and it's peachy having these high-explosive weapons fully accessible! MarilynJaneSnowglobes Not many people know this, but Mr. House is one of the world's biggest collectors of antique snow globes! MarilynJaneSnowglobes If you happen to find any out in the Wasteland, you can bring them to me and I'll add them to his collection! You'll get a reward, of course. MarilynJaneSnowglobes In fact, one of Mr. House's favorites went missing when we moved the collection. If you have a look around the Lucky 38, you might even find it! MarilynJaneSnowglobes You do? Why, that's just wonderful! I'll take it and put it with the rest of the collection. MarilynJaneSnowglobes You do? Why, that's just wonderful! I'll take them and put them with the rest of the collection. MarilynJaneVegas Oh, there's lots of things to tell, I'm sure. There's the Three Families, the casinos, the other attractions - what would you like to know? MarilynJaneWhoAreYou I'm Jane, one of Mr. House's girls. We keep him... entertained. We don't get many guests lately; perhaps we can entertain you as well. McCredieArmy Man, it's my life. I joined up when I was 16 - I don't know how to do anything else. McCredieCampGolf I've been here since the first push into Vegas. Back in the day, this camp was the hotspot for conflicts with the Legion, raider tribes, you name it. McCredieCampGolf These days, I spend most of my time trying to beat a little discipline into the soldiers under my command. They've gotten soft with no action. McCredieMisfits Disappointed? We call 'em the Misfits for a reason. They're undisciplined, lazy, and they have absolutely no espirit de corps. McCredieMisfits The squad leader's got some promise, kid named Mags, but as for the rest...{Trails off} I don't see much hope. McCredieMisfits I'm going to make them shape up if it kills me, though. Or them, for that matter. McNamaraPowerArmorTraining ...There, I think you've got the knack of it now. You should now be able to wear any kind of power armor you come across. McNamaraPowerArmorTraining I've also given the order that all of our equipment be made available to you, not just the more mundane arms. McNamaraPowerArmorTraining You're a member of the Brotherhood now, and your gear should reflect that. McNamaraPowerArmorTraining Lastly, you will be allowed to come and go as you please. You've done so much for us that to do otherwise would be a crime. McNamaraPowerArmorTraining I just ask that you keep the Brotherhood's interests at heart in all your dealings. Remember that you will always have a home here. MelissaCaesar You can ask, but why would I do that? Karl's told me all about life in the Legion! He says I've got all the makings of a {SPECK-you-la-tore-ay; over-enunciate like she's not familiar with the word}speculatore. MojaveOutpostQuestion Not much to tell, one of the worst posts in the NCR if you're looking to be anything more than a babysitter. MojaveOutpostQuestion {Slight frustration in these lines}Full up here, but just enough so we {emph}can't send out patrols. Got to maintain a standing force MojaveOutpostQuestion Can't spare men for patrols or escorts, so caravans are backing up here like a Brahmin with a bottle in its ass. {Sighs}Typical NCR bullshit. MotorRunnerDrugDelivery About goddamn time. Tell the Khans if they can't keep a steady supply, we'll find someone who can. MrHostetlerAffair {Topic is a nuisance}I really don't have time for this right now. MrHostetlerCaravan You know, hiring isn't really my department. You should talk to Ms. McLafferty about work for hire. MrHostetlerCaravan Like I said, talk to Alice McLafferty, she's in charge here. MrHostetlerDrugDelivery Huh? Oh! Oh, right. Yeah. I'll take that. You should go now, before you draw any attention. MrHostetlerIntro The name's Hostetler - Don Hostetler. Can I help you with something? MrHostetlerIntro {Slight Irritation}I've already told you... I'm Don Hostetler. MrsHostetlerFamily Yes, he's an account manager for the Crimson Caravan Company. He works such long ours to provide for our daughter and me. MrsHostetlerFamily You should speak to him if you get the chance - he's always saying how badly understaffed they are. Murder No!

NellisJackGirlIssue There's an outpost near here. The signs say Crimson Caravan?" It seems like they carry things to and fro for people out there?" NellisJackGirlIssue Well, every once in a while I watch the outpost through one of the spotters' binoculars. And sometimes there's this girl there, this special girl... NellisJackGirlIssue And sometimes it's like she's watching me back with her binoculars! Except she's probably just watching Nellis. I haven't tried waving. NellisJackScrap01 Cool! How much can you spare? NephiClub Fuckin' A right it is. This baby's my life, my love, my strong right arm. Killed a lot of fuckers with this hunk of iron, yessir. NephiFiends I *could.* I'm not terribly inclined to, though. If you go talk to them, they might kill you and rob me of the fun. NephiFiends Really? Listen... you don't want to mess with Cook-Cook. And you *really* don't want to let him get you alone. Trust me. NephiIntro Name's Nephi, friend. Driver Nephi. Pleasure to meet you. NephiNCR Huh? Oh, lots.

NobarkAbductorID Molerat men, come up from the Underneath to steal young women with promises of riches and fancy mud mansions with all the latest designer appliances. NobarkAbductorID They covet our ladyfolk's long hair for wigs, it's said, being either bald or balding themselves. NobarkActingStrange I don't trust a man that doesn't have something strange going on about him, 'cause it means he's hiding it from you. NobarkActingStrange If a man's wearing his pants on his head or if he says his words backwards from time to time, you know it's all laid out there for you. NobarkActingStrange But if he's friendly to strangers and keeps his home spick-and-span, more often than not he's done something even his own ma couldn't forgive. NobarkActuallyAtRepcon Ghosts. Commie ghosts what don't know they're dead. NobarkActuallyAtRepcon Hoping to steal our rockets so they can fly up and paint the moon pink and draw a Lenin face on it. NobarkActuallyAtRepcon I seen one of them disappear and reappear before my very eyes. NobarkActuallyAtRepcon Although being a scientist, I have to admit I might've just blinked for longer than usual, what with the shock of seeing a commie ghost and so forth. NobarkBoonesWife Seen it all. Seen shadowy folk come to his room and leave again in the middle of the night. Thought one might've gone in the lobby, too, for a spell. NobarkBoonesWife Could be that person went in to get something. Or use the john maybe. Mighty interesting either way, you ask me. NobarkBoonesWife I thought it was cannibals, come to eat us all for sure, so I kept out of sight. But now I know better. NobarkCanTalkFromHere You sure, now? It's kinda hard to hear you. NobarkCorralDeaths I come face to face with the chupacabra himself one night whilst I was investigating whether this gecko was hiding his treasure from me. NobarkCorralDeaths He was the meanest, ugliest chupacabra you could imagine. Had two heads, and fangs down to the ground. NobarkCorralDeaths Best I could tell, anyways, since when he come up to me he was invisible. NobarkCorralDeaths Had himself a blunderbuss what would rotate and shoot bullets real fast out of a backpack. Never seen nothing like it. NobarkCorralDeaths Walked right past me having an argument with somebody. NobarkCorralDeaths But I only saw the one chupacabra, so I guess the other fella had to be invisible too. Only more invisible than the other one. NobarkGoingOn There's been things of a disturbing nature going on at the McBride Corral. NobarkGoingOn Seems every night one of their herd meets a most unnatural death, and always there's holes all over the body. NobarkGoingOn Work of the chupacabra, the livestock vampire, says No-bark, but they don't pay no mind. Too many holes, they say, and there's bullets in them. NobarkGoingOn Well, says No-bark, we got a chupacabra with an automatic weapon. And that's when they get real quiet, 'cause now they see the predicament we're in. NobarkIfYoureGoingToBeWeird Weird's just normal when normal decides to start taking notice of things. You just think about that. NobarkIfYoureGoingToBeWeird Now what'd you come here for? NobarkInterestingHappenings Folks'll tell you that they seen ghouls up near the rocket factory. NobarkInterestingHappenings Sensationalist hooey, cooked up by superstitious yokels seeing phantoms of their own imagining. NobarkLeaving Let me know if you meet anyone suspicious. NobarkMeanNoHarm We'll just see about that. You come any closer and I'm liable to stick you with my stickin' knife. Ol' Sticky's feeling mighty ornery this day. NobarkSomethingElse Good idea. It ain't safe to stay on the same topic for too long. NobarkWhoTriedToMakeYouTalk Confound it, No-bark, you done it again. You let on that you know things. Now they'll never let you be. NobarkWhoTriedToMakeYouTalk All right, stranger, you got me. What do you want to know? NobarkYoureGoingToTalk I give up! Please don't do no harm to me, mister, leastaways not my face.

The problem is with supplies. The convicts are better armed and organized than our intel initially suggested. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic000 I'm trying to get some reinforcements here, maybe some guns with some firepower, but... shit... things are just going slow. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic001 Most people just call it NCRCF. That's NCR Correctional Facility{As an aside, explaining the acronym}. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic001 A little bit ago the convicts there staged a coup, killed the guards that weren't able to escape, and have been ransacking the area since then. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic002 Not much. They've taken to calling themselves Powder Gangers. Mostly because they've taken to using the explosives meant to clear boulders as weapons. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic002 They got organized faster than I would have thought, most of them at least. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic002 Thankfully the small group in town here seem to have split off from the main force, so they aren't getting anything in the way of support. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic003 I have some free time, ask away. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic004 Goodbye. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic005 What we need, more than anything, is bodies. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic005 If we had just one more squad, we could easily install a sheriff and still handle our primary objective of protecting the interstate south of here. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic005 If you'd like to see the NCR include protection of Primm in its duties, then you'll have to get some more troops up here. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic005 Knight, at Mojave outpost, may be able to help. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic006 Knight, he's at Mojave outpost. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic007 Roger. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic008 Roger, I'll radio them over now. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic009 It's your choice, but those rangers are only coming if we get our support. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic010 Where do you come from that you haven't heard of the NCR? Nevermind, it doesn't matter much. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic010 If you haven't heard of us, you must not be from the Legion. Put simply, the NCR is the greatest nation currently functioning. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic011 Sure can. The NCR was founded from the survivors of one of the great Vaults. We started as a small settlement called Shady Sands. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic011 We now consist of 5 states, that make up the greatest nation since the Great War. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic012 Caesar's Legion.{Lots of spite} nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic012 A bunch of degenerate slavers, led by a madman who calls himself Caesar. Every one of them is a barbarian to the last. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic012 I've even heard one of their leaders, the Legate or something, goes around with a human skull on his head. Savages to the last. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic014 It is no secret. Our interest here is two fold. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic014 First, we want to remain in control of Hoover Dam. It supplies the Republic with power, and is a source of fresh water. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmCorporalHayesTopic014 Second, we want to prevent the Legion from advancing across the Colorado River and endangering the home states. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmDeputyTopic000 Well, a deputy isn't much good without a sheriff. {cowardly and hesitant}So I figured I'd come in here and protect these good people until someone finds us a new one. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmDeputyTopic001 {Edited Line}Indeed I do good sir, and I would be thrilled to share that information with you as soon as I am released from captivity. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmDeputyTopic001 {Edited Line}My good lady, I believe I may have some information that would prove useful. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmDeputyTopic001 If you would just untie my hands I'd be more than happy to share what information I have with you. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmDeputyTopic001 {Edited Line}I'm in quite a state here. If you help me with my bonds I'll be more than happy to tell you anything, and everything about those Khans. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmDeputyTopic001 {Edited Line}Ahh yes, my memory is much clearer now that I am free from my bondage. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmDeputyTopic001 I was sku{skulking, rethinking}... er, performing recon, gathering information on some of the Powder Gangers, when some great Khans arrived with your friend in the suit. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmDeputyTopic001 They were talking about some delivery they took from a courier, I assume that was you. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmDeputyTopic001 They said they'd be heading through Nipton to Novac to meet a contact there. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmDeputyTopic001 {Edited Line}I overheard them saying that they are on their way to Novac. If you want to follow them I strongly suggest that you follow the road through Nipton. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmDeputyTopic001 There are a lot of dangerous things out in the desert, and you won't have me with you to protect you, as I need to stay here and keep Primm safe. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmDeputyTopic002 [SUCCEEDED] Well, you look to be the trustworthy sort. Okay, I'll tell you what I know. nVPrimmDeputyConvPrimmDeputyTopic002 [FAILED] I'm sure you mean well, but I'm afraid you'll have to wait until I'm in a calmer emotional state before my memory is going to function.

ObserveCombat So much violence in the world these days. ObserveCombat Look out! ObserveCombat Fight! OHanrahanArmy Well, as it turns out, we had a string of bad harvests a few years back. Pa said he couldn't afford to feed but three youngins, or we'd starve. OHanrahanArmy As the biggest one it was my job to go join the Army so's my sisters could eat and so's we wouldn't all be killed by raiders and Jesus would love us. OHanrahanArmy It's all right, I guess. I don't like all the fighting we gotta do, though. OHanrahanCampGolf Oh, it's a fine place. The lake is real {purty}pretty, and we don't get bothered much by them Legion fellers. OHanrahanFighting I ain't scared! I just don't like hurting folks, is all. Ma always used to tell me boy OHanrahanFighting Every day she told me that. Guess I done took it to heart. OHanrahanHistory Well, I was born on a farm out in California. Weren't much - me, Ma and Pa, my two sisters and about 40 acres of corn and brahmin. OHanrahanHistory Didn't never have no problems really, except for some lean years. Then I joined up and got shipped out here to New Vegas. OHanrahanMisfits They're mostly pretty nice - Poindexter showed me how to make fireworks! Razz kinda scares me sometimes, but I don't mind. He's had a hard life. OnFire {On Fire} OscarVelascoCamp {Disdainful}Refugee camp? Is that what they're calling it? Good old NCR, they can whitewash anything. OscarVelascoCamp Let me tell you something, that refugee camp? It's built on the blood and tears of my people. Nobody likes to talk about it, but I remember. OscarVelascoDie Come for me then. {Intense, half battle cry, half prayer}Flails of God! OscarVelascoDie Come for me then. {Intense, half battle cry, half prayer}Flails of God! OscarVelascoMassacre {Proud}We were the Flails of God. The scourge of the Mojave, the best warriors and raiders in the Wasteland. Until the NCR tracked us back to Bitter Springs. OscarVelascoMassacre {Sad}The main force hit the canyon by surprise. While our warriors tried to hold them off, we sent our women, our children, our old through the Red Pass. OscarVelascoMassacre NCR's First Recon Battalion was waiting for them on Coyote Tail Ridge. No Khan left alive, that was the order. {Broken}My family.... PapaKhanCaesar Have you now? Hmm. Well, you're a bold one, I'll give you that, but why should I do this for you? PapaKhanCaesar Hmm. I have heard some things from my most trusted Khans that makes me wonder whether this alliance is a good idea after all. PapaKhanCaesar But I want to leave a legacy of greatness when I die. My tribe deserves better than this, cowering in a canyon and living on scraps. PapaKhanCaesar Tell me then, if I don't join with Caesar's Legion, where will I find my tribe's lost glory? PapaKhanKarl Great Khans! Drive Caesar's dog out of our camp! If he's too slow to flee, kill him! PapaKhanKarlDisgrace Let me see that... filthy savages? Probably have to decimate the lot of them?" Are these the words of our "friend PapaKhanKarlDisgrace Great Khans! Drive Caesar's dog out of our camp! If he's too slow to flee, kill him! PapaKhanKarlDisgrace What's this? Ah, yes, I've heard that the Legion has sometimes had to quell tribes that did not share its vision. PapaKhanKarlDisgrace The Khans, though, are protected by Caesar's emissary - I have Karl's word we will remain our own tribe as long as we remain loyal to Caesar. PapaKhanKarlDisgrace Take your slander elsewhere. PapaKhanKhans You want to hear the story of the Great Khans? It's a long one, full of honor, glory and betrayal. We have suffered, but we will regain our glory. PapaKhanPowderGangers And what benefit would this alliance give us? ParkerDisappearances Some people have gone missing from the camp lately. Haven't seen any signs of violence or heard about any feuds, they just... up and left. ParkerDisappearances I remember hearing some of the missing folks were doing business with Dermot and Saint James - a couple of scavengers from Westside. ParkerHelp Well... that was a bit messier than I would have liked. Was there anything else? ParkerIntro Captain Parker. I'm in charge of this camp. ParkerKeith Marked cards, huh? I suppose it's obvious, really. Here, you've earned this. ParkerKeith I'm going to go take Keith into custody. If you're interested in a little extra pay, I wouldn't mind the back-up. ParkerKeith Son of a bitch - I knew he was involved with drugs. Thanks - this gives me the evidence I need. Here - you've earned this. ParkerKeith I'm going to go take Keith into custody.

ParkerKeith I'm going to go take Keith into custody. If you're interested in a little extra pay, I wouldn't mind the back-up. ParkerRefugeeCamp This here's where folks go when their luck runs out. Drifters up from the Republic, locals that can't turn a dime, drunken reprobates from all around. ParkerRefugeeCamp If you don't have the caps to get onto the Strip, odds are you'll end up here. ParkerResults Let me see that... I know these names. Nephi and Cook-Cook are major players with the Fiends. Dermot and Saint James must be working with them. ParkerResults But, this just a list of names and not evidence of a direct connection with the missing people. ParkerResults Damn. Combined with that girl's bear you found in Saint James' room, this is enough for me to have them brought in for questioning. ParkerResults Thank you for your help - I'll make sure those sick bastards get what's coming to them. Here, you've earned this. ParkerTeddyBearGirl That... I think that's her teddy bear! It's suspicious, but it doesn't tell us what happened to the refugees. ParkerTeddyBearGirl Damn. Combined with that ledger you found in Dermot's room, it's enough for me to have them brought in for questioning. PaulineCharisma [SUCCEEDED] Really? You think so? We've only got the one gun, and there's two of us... and we've never done anything like this before...

PrimmNashDeliveryTopic Sure. I'll tell you what I know. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic000 Well,{deep breath} I'll answer what I can. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic001 Ask away. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic002 I guess I don't have anywhere better to be. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic003 Don't go getting yourself shot. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic004 Well I reckon he could be a sheriff if you have the skills to reprogram him. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic004 Well I guess I never thought of that. I guess he could be sheriff, if you think he could be reprogrammed for it. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic007 {New Line}That beat up old thing? What do you want to know? PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic008 Sure do. I run the courier office out of my shop. Leastaways I did before things went to hell around here. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic009 That cowboy robot had us hire six couriers. Each was carrying something a little different. A pair of dice, a chess piece, that kind of stuff. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic009 Last word I had from the office, it looked like payment had been received for the other five jobs. Guess it was just your chip that didn't make it. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic009 {Irritated}First deadbeat{disgust} we hired to do the job canceled. Hope a storm from the Divide skins him alive. {Beat, calms himself}Well, that's where you came in. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic009 To start with, it was a robot that set it up! Came rolling in with a picture of a cowboy on a screen where its face should be. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic009 Had me send a request to the Express office in Hub, for seven couriers to be hired. Each one to carry {beat, deciding on right word, emphasis}bric-a-brac, seemed to me! PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic009 Playing cards, dice, chess pieces, trinkets like that. Then, next thing I know, he turns around and says he wants six couriers, not seven! PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic009 Has me send on the corrected" order for six couriers along with a bunch of letters and numbers PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic009 Don't ask me what that was about, {cuz}because I never seen anything like it. {realizing}Anyways, you must've been Courier 6, then? The Poker Chip? PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic010 {edited line}Well, now that you mention it, a few nights back one of the townies was out scavenging for supplies. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic010 He said he saw a fella with a daisy suit come through with some of them Great Khan misfits. They was talking about a chip. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic011 {New Line}A courier dropped it off a couple months back. I got it working for a little while, but the darn thing pooped out. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic011 {New Line}I haven't been able to get it up and running again. I was hoping to use it for some courier work, but that ain't gonna happen. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic012 {New Line}Hell if I know. I don't think its serious, but my tinkering days are long gone. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic013 {New Line}You're welcome to try. Its yours if you can get it working. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic013 {New Line}If I had my way I'd dump it in the scrapyard in Novac and be done with the damn thing. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic014 {edited line}Well for that your best bet is going to be talking to Deputy Beagle. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic014 Since they came to town he was keeping a good bit of notes on them, and he was slinking around Bison Steve when your pretty-boy friend came through. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic014 He may have heard where they were going. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic014 {edited line}Deputy Beagle would have been your best bet, before he met that tragic end. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic014 Since they came to town he was keeping a good bit of notes on them, and he was slinking around Bison Steve when your pretty-boy friend came through. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic014 Maybe you can track down whatever notes he was keeping and find some thing to help you there. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic015 Nope. Different fella. Bigger. Had himself a face on a screen, and he talked more like you or me. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic016 Nope. Different fella. Bigger. Had himself a face on a screen, and he talked more like you or me. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic017 {Confused, whole thing was strange, slow}Yeah, got this look when he saw you next down on the Courier list. His expression turned right around, asked me if your name was for real. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic017 {Delivered as right as rain"}I said PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic017 {Slow, foreshadowing}No, let {emph}Courier Six" carry the package PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic018 No idea. Sounds like you two had a history for him to act like that. And turn down the money, too. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic018 Hope he didn't see any trouble in that package of yours. Maybe he thought your name was bad luck. Not for me to say. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic019 {New Line}That beat up old pile of bolts? What do you want to know? PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic020 {New Line}A courier dropped it off a little bit ago. I'd hoped to get it up and running for some courier work, but never could get it running. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic021 {New Line}Can't say that I have, of course I never saw it running for long, so I never heard it do much of anything. PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic022 {New Line}Not a bit. I imagine there must be some people around curious about that kind of technology. PrimmNCRSheriffConvo Yes Lieutenant! PrimmNCRSheriffConvo Are you ready to depart for Primm? PrimmNCRSheriffConvo Yes sir! PrimmNCRSheriffConvo Ok, we have some soldiers heading to town now. I'll have them sweep the Bison Steve before they start regular patrols. PrimmSlimAboutBisonSteve {clears throat}The Bison Steve is one of Primm's less-impressive casino hotels. I'd steer clear of that place, pardner, if I were you.

Maybe work up your curiosity by having a look at thrilling exhibits like the genuine Death Car and Vance's machine gun! PrimmSlimVVHistoryYes Yahoo! I ain't had a chance to tell their tale in a mess of years. PrimmSlimVVHistoryYes First things first: any bosh you've heard about Vikki and Vance being copycats ain't nothing but ill-tempered slander. PrimmSlimVVHistoryYes Fact is, they begun their crime spree two days before Bonnie and Clyde robbed their first bank - so who was copying who? PrimmSlimVVHistoryYes Now true, Vikki and Vance didn't exactly cut a wide swath of murder and bank robbery across the central U.S., like Bonnie and Clyde did. PrimmSlimVVHistoryYes It was more like a narrow swath of shoplifting, check-cashing fraud, and gas pump driveoffs - but crime is crime! They drove reckless, too. PrimmSlimVVHistoryYes Having lived by the gun - well, Vance owned one, anyway - it was only fitting that the duo of desperados would die by the gun. PrimmSlimVVHistoryYes Perhaps it was fate itself that accidentally drove them into a crossfire between police and a gang of bank robbers in Plano, Texas. PrimmSlimVVHistoryYes Or maybe they just didn't notice until it was too late. It's been said that Vikki would have tried to cash a bad check in that bank, had she lived. PrimmSlimVVHistoryYes We'll never know for sure. All we know is that the crossfire tore the car and both occupants to pieces, and the police issued an official apology. PrimmSlimVVHistoryYes You can put your eyes on the genuine Death Car just over yonder, and there's Vance's machine gun in the case next to it! PrimmSlimVVHistoryYes You got it, Pardner. Primm Slim loves to spin a yarn. PrimmSlimVVHistoryYes First things first: any bosh you've heard about Vikki and Vance being copycats ain't nothing but ill-tempered slander.

This time you will get it done, Raul!

RadioBMSegment02 [Rhonda] What's your take on the situation? RadioBMSegment02 [Raul] All I want is to make that special robot work again, you know? I give it my best. RadioBMSegment02 [Rhonda] We'll be right back after this word from our sponsor during which Raul will contemplate how lucky he is to be alive. RadioBMSegment03 [Tabitha] Are you tired of getting chased because you're bigger than humans, and scaring them? RadioBMSegment03 [Tabitha] Did you kill some and they overreacted? Are two-head-bear people shooting at you, and battle cattle mooing? Beware the battle cattle... RadioBMSegment03 [Rhonda]

RadioBMSegment04 [Applause track.] RadioBMSegment04 [Rhonda] I see that you're already wearing the True Eyes, Best Friend Tabitha, along with your head of True Hair. What do you see? RadioBMSegment04 [Tabitha] Uh... I see Neil... RadioBMSegment04 [Rhonda] First-generation Neil from down the mountain? And what is he up to? RadioBMSegment04 [Tabitha] Standing outside his shack down there. RadioBMSegment04 [Rhonda] In the same spot as before, or has he moved? RadioBMSegment04 [Tabitha] A little. RadioBMSegment04 [Rhonda] Wow! It must be so exciting to see and know all. What a powerful reminder of your ultimate authority and power for our listeners! RadioBMSegment04 [Tabitha] I see Moe...

Two-head-bear people astride battle cattles! RadioBMSegment04 [Rhonda]
Not the the dreaded battle cattle training to hunt mutants?
RadioBMSegment04 [Rhonda]
Would it be going too far to say that your gift of True Eyesight is the only thing saving our community from annihilation?
RadioBMSegment05 {Rhonda} Welcome back, Utobitha. I have with me Best Friend Tabitha, who has something important she'd like to share. RadioBMSegment05 {Tabitha} Well Rhonda, I'm a little concerned about the number of humans that keep coming to Black Mountain. RadioBMSegment05 {Rhonda} Humans? Here? Why do you think they'd do that? RadioBMSegment05 {Tabitha} Honestly, I think they're a little jealous of the ideal society we've built here, Rhonda. And I can't blame them. RadioBMSegment05 {Tabitha} We have everything we need here. Food, shelter, safety, entertainment. It really is a paradise. RadioBMSegment05 {Rhonda} There's no arguing with the truth, is there? RadioBMSegment05 {Tabitha} But humans need to be aware that Black Mountain is no place for them. In fact, it's even dangerous for them here. RadioBMSegment05 {Rhonda} {gasps}Why is that? RadioBMSegment05 {Tabitha} First of all, there's the radiation. That warm, peaceful glow that we all know and love doesn't have the same effect on humans. RadioBMSegment05 {Tabitha} You see, humans are weak, and have an inherent defect that causes them to fall apart when exposed to radiation. RadioBMSegment05 {Rhonda} That sounds terrible! How do they stand it? Radiation's, like, everywhere! RadioBMSegment05 {Tabitha} I know. They truly have a hard lot in life. Which may explain why they're so irritable all the time. RadioBMSegment05 {Rhonda} I don't know about you, Utobitha, but my eyes have really been opened. We'll be back after some music! RadioBMSegment06 {Rhonda} We're back with Best Friend Tabitha, who was telling us why humans should {cue angry Tabitha voice}STAY THE HELL AWAY, {back to normal Rhonda voice}ier, keep their distance from the State of Utobitha. RadioBMSegment06 {Tabitha} Thank you, Rhonda. As you know, one of the many benefits of living in Utobitha is the ready availability of pet centaurs. RadioBMSegment06 {Rhonda} Ooh, I love the centaurs. They're just so cute! RadioBMSegment06 {Tabitha} Exactly, Rhonda, who could resist those sweet little faces, and that cute way they shuffle around on all those hands they have. RadioBMSegment06 {Tabitha} But humans must be so caught up with their pleasant features that they forget the most important thing about centaurs. RadioBMSegment06 {Rhonda} And what might that be, Best Friend Tabitha? RadioBMSegment06 {Tabitha} Centaurs {stressed}eat humans, Rhonda! You see, humans are a lot smaller, and much more tender than you or I, so centaurs naturally see them as food. RadioBMSegment06 {Rhonda} Ah, that *would* make it hard for them to get along, wouldn't it? RadioBMSegment06 {Tabitha} Indeed. Given the situation, I had to make a hard choice when I created Utobitha - do we invite weak, greedy humans who would just die anyway? RadioBMSegment06 {Tabitha} Or cute, loveable centaurs, who fight and die for us and ask nothing in return? After much deliberation, I went with the centaurs. RadioBMSegment06 {Rhonda} And there you have it, Utobitha. The next time you play with a huggable, loveable centaur, remember that Best Friend Tabitha made it all possible. RadioBMSegment07 {Rhonda} We're here once again with our beloved leader. Best Friend Tabitha, why don't you tell our listeners what you just told me? RadioBMSegment07 {Tabitha} I was just saying that I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding about the mutants here in the State of Utobitha. RadioBMSegment07 {Rhonda} And what would *that* be? RadioBMSegment07 {Tabitha} I believe that the mutants here are generally considered to dislike humans. And nothing could be further from the truth. RadioBMSegment07 {Tabitha} During their stay here, mutants are taught to tolerate, and even accept, the existence of inferior, frail creatures, humans included. RadioBMSegment07 {Rhonda} Ooh, how insightful! So then how do you think this misunderstanding came about? RadioBMSegment07 {Tabitha} My guess is that it has something to do with the fact that every mutant in the State of Utobitha has been give explicit orders regarding security. RadioBMSegment07 {Tabitha} Those orders naturally include shooting humans on sight. Or pounding them with whatever happens to be handy. Guns being in short supply, you see. RadioBMSegment07 {Tabitha} As I've explained, there are numerous dangers to humans here, and we have a duty to drive them away. It's for their own good, really. RadioBMSegment07 {Rhonda} Makes sense to me! And the silly humans think we don't care. {said dramatically}For shame. Stick around, Utobitha, for more after this! RadioBMSegment08 {Tabitha} Do you remember the good old days where the Master ruled over us all? RadioBMSegment08 {Rhonda} When his gentle, compelling, and yet oddly insistent voice crawled through your mind and told you exactly what to do? RadioBMSegment08 {Tabitha} Do you miss a time when you didn't have to think for yourself, and enjoyed lazy days of following the bellowed commands of others? RadioBMSegment08 {Rhonda} Those days can be yours again, for Best Friend Tabitha, the esteemed leader of the State of Utobitha, is here to tell you what to do! RadioBMSegment08 {Tabitha} That's right! I, Tabitha, will take on the burden of your obedience! RadioBMSegment08 {Rhonda, sotto voce} Acceptance into Utobitha pending Best Friend Tabitha's approval. RadioBMSegment08 {Rhonda, sotto voce}Best Friend Tabitha reserves the right to turn down applicants for any reason, including whimsy or boredom. RadioBMSegment08 {Rhonda, sotto voce} Acceptance into Utobitha open to mutants only. Former human servants of the Master conditionally accepted for purposes of centaur feeding duties. RadioBMSegment08 {Tabitha} Utobitha! Come, take a load off your mind! RadioBMSegment09 {Rhonda} Welcome to another episode of Know - Your - Mutants! RadioBMSegment09 {Rhonda} Special guest star Best Friend Tabitha is with us in the studio to share her insights on this topic that affects us all. RadioBMSegment09 {Tabitha} Thank you, Rhonda. Today I'd like to talk about a subject near and dear to my heart, the nightkin. RadioBMSegment09 {Rhonda} Ooooh, you must know a lot about the nightkin, Best Friend Tabitha, seeing as how you are one! RadioBMSegment09 {Tabitha} That's true, Rhonda. I am in a unique position to speak to the natural superiority of my kind. RadioBMSegment09 {Tabitha} {clears throat}Our story begins, as most stories do, with the Master. Our glorious leader had created the Super Mutants, but something nagged at him. RadioBMSegment09 {Tabitha} I can do better" RadioBMSegment09 {Tabitha} A new type of mutant was created - stronger, faster, smarter, more dangerous in every way. RadioBMSegment09 {Tabitha} We were to normal super mutants what they were to humans, and they were told to defer to us in all things. RadioBMSegment09 {Rhonda} And you're the leader of all the nightkin, correct? RadioBMSegment09 {Tabitha} Yes, as the highest ranking nightkin alive, my voice speaks for all nightkin everywhere, ever. RadioBMSegment09 {Rhonda} Which is why all super mutants should do what you say, right? RadioBMSegment09 {Tabitha} That's right! My position of supreme authority must never be questioned! RadioBMSegment09 {Rhonda} One last thing. Is there any truth to the rumor that all Nightkin are slightly crazy from their overuse of psychologically damaging pre-war tech? RadioBMSegment09 {Tabitha} None at all, Rhonda. RadioBMSegment09 {Rhonda} There you have it, Utobitha! Nightkin, your benevolent overlords, who are most certainly *not* crazy. We'll be back after this! RadioBMSegment10 {Rhonda} Welcome, Utobitha, to another episode of Know - Your - Mutants! RadioBMSegment10 {Rhonda} Today we're proud to have Best Friend Tabitha with us. Welcome to the show! RadioBMSegment10 {Tabitha} Good to be here, Rhonda. RadioBMSegment10 {Rhonda} So what type of mutant did you want to talk about this time, Best Friend Tabitha? RadioBMSegment10 {Tabitha} I thought I'd briefly talk about first generation Super Mutants, Rhonda. RadioBMSegment10 {Rhonda} Oooh, what can you tell us about them? RadioBMSegment10 {Tabitha} What we call the first generation of Super Mutants, Rhonda, were actually created by the Master himself. RadioBMSegment10 {Tabitha} Like everything the Master took a direct hand in, they were better than the ones who came later, the ones made by accident. RadioBMSegment10 {Tabitha} They were smarter, almost as smart as Nightkin, and were able to think and act for themselves. RadioBMSegment10 {Tabitha} However, the first generation seems to have some kind of suicidal urge that they can't control. RadioBMSegment10 {Rhonda} How terrible! What makes you say that, Best Friend Tabitha? RadioBMSegment10 {Tabitha} So far, all first generation Super Mutants that have come to Utobitha have left not soon after. RadioBMSegment10 {Rhonda} How strange! Why would anyone leave the safety and comfort that Utobitha provides? RadioBMSegment10 {Tabitha} Why, indeed. But now there's not a single first generation Super Mutant in Utobitha. RadioBMSegment10 {Rhonda} Except Neil. RadioBMSegment10 {Tabitha, grumbling}Except Neil. RadioBMSegment10 {Rhonda, speaking quickly, sounding nervous, like Tabitha might attack her}Well! I think we've all learned something today. Let's go to music! RadioBMSegment11 {Rhonda} You're listening to another edition of Know - Your - Mutants, with Best Friend Tabitha! RadioBMSegment11 {Rhonda} So, Best Friend Tabitha, who will we learn about today? RadioBMSegment11 {Tabitha, sounding like she's really not looking forward to this} I guess it's time we talked the dumb-dumbs. RadioBMSegment11 {Rhonda} Oh, you mean the second generation Super Mutants who aren't so bright? RadioBMSegment11 {Tabitha, grasping for something meaningful to say} That's them. Dumb-dumbs... ah... that is... they... RadioBMSegment11 {Rhonda, throwing her a lifeline} They're very big. And strong. RadioBMSegment11 {Tabitha, grateful} Yes! They're just as big as other mutants, and as strong as they look. Beyond that, uh... RadioBMSegment11 {Rhonda, another lifeline} And there's a lot of them. RadioBMSegment11 {Tabitha} Oh yeah, dumb-dumbs are the most common type of mutant that most travelers will encounter, and make up more than half the mutants here in Utobitha. RadioBMSegment11 {Rhonda} Best Friend Tabitha, some of our listeners may wonder how you can call them dumb-dumbs on the air like this. RadioBMSegment11 {Tabitha} That's a good question, Rhonda. The truth is, they're so dumb they don't even know that I'm talking about them right now. RadioBMSegment11 {Rhonda} And that's another revealing look at mutantkind. Second generation Super Mutants. Big. Numerous. {said with a flourish}Dumb. More after this! RadioBMSegment12 {Rhonda, faint, she's not speaking into the mike} What do you think we should play next? RadioBMSegment12 {Tabitha, same, not speaking into mike} It doesn't matter, just grab something. And check on Raul while you're at it. RadioBMSegment12 {Sounds of movement and something brushing against the mike, then a click as the feed gets switched to the mike in Raul's room} RadioBMSegment12 {Raul singing in Spanish to himself for an extended time} RadioBMSegment12 {Tabitha, faint, coming from a speaker in Raul's room} Raul! Why are you on the radio? RadioBMSegment12 {Raul} Uh, I don't know. Did you hit that switch I, ah, keep telling you not to press? RadioBMSegment12 {Click as feed switches back to Tabitha's room, some fumbling done near mike} RadioBMSegment12 {Rhonda} Sorry about that, Utobitha! Here's some music! RadioBMSegment13 {Rhonda} Utobitha, I'm here with Best Friend Tabitha, who has a message for all the dumb-dumbs out there. RadioBMSegment13 {Tabitha} It has come to my attention that some of you dumb-dumbs took me a little too seriously in the past when I warned you about the battle cattle. RadioBMSegment13 {Tabitha} While battle cattle are indeed a dangerous foe, they are one that should be fought ferociously. RadioBMSegment13 {Tabitha} Recently I've heard about several incidents where some of you have been seen running away from a fight where battle cattle were involved. RadioBMSegment13 {Tabitha} This is not acceptable. No self-respecting soldier of Utobitha should ever be seen running like a scared little human. RadioBMSegment13 {Tabitha} Bah, I don't even know why I try. It's not like the dumb-dumbs are even going to understand this. RadioBMSegment13 {Rhonda} You heard her, Utobitha! Beware the battle cattle, but don't *fear* the battle cattle. More after this! RadioGoodbye Signing off. RadioGoodbye {Sign Off} RadioHello

I know I can ramble on sometimes, but I need you to listen close for the next minute or so. I've got some bad news. RadioHello I messed up. Made a mistake. I thought I could help get us out of here, but... it didn't work out. RadioHello Rangers get injured all the time. It's part of the job. But if you lose a few fingers, get a bad break, that's it. You step down. RadioHello We rely on each other too much to let our infirmities become a liability. A ranger knows when it's time. Only I didn't. RadioHello Somewhere along the way, something broke inside me. I couldn't find us a way out of this desert. I wrestled with it, and it took me down a dark road.

RadioHello Rangers have managed to hold off a Legion attack at Camp Golf. Some casualties, but Camp Golf stands. RadioHello Rangers have barely managed to fend off a brutal attack at Camp Golf. The numbers had not yet been reinforced to replace the missing troops. RadioHello Camp Golf has fallen{Loud, stunned}! Apparently a small group of troopers broke rank and fled their posts once the battle began. RadioHello {Amazed}A group of troopers, that can only be described as rag-tag, managed to fend off a brutal attack at Camp Golf. I salute your bravery. Hold the front. RadioHello Troopers have managed to contain several small riots that were breaking out in the area surrounding New Vegas. RadioHello There is chaos breaking out at McCarran. The Fiends are using the opportunity to attack the base. RadioHello There are also several riots breaking out in the area surrounding New Vegas. The looters have taken to the streets. RadioHello There is a confirmed report that the Legion mounted a simultaneous assault at Camp Forlorn Hope. RadioHello Yes{long pause} Forlorn Hope has fallen. Some troops managed to fall back, but the fortification is lost. RadioHello Forlorn Hope has sustained heavy casualties, but the fortification stands. We have successfully defended Forlorn Hope. RadioHello I'm{long pause} not getting any more information from Forlorn Hope. The Camp appears to have been totally overrun. RadioHello I'm receiving reports that Forlorn Hope has been totally overrun, and the Legion is killing civilians as far as the township called Novac. RadioHello The troops at Forlorn Hope, assisted by First Recon, have repelled the Legion attack with very few casualties. RadioHello The troops at Forlorn Hope, assisted by First Recon, have repelled the Legion in what will surely be the most decisive victory in this entire battle. RadioHello What the fuck is happening on the Strip? I'm getting reports that someone just bombed the embassy. RadioHello It sounds like the Omertas are mounting some sort of attack on the Strip. They are receiving heavy casualties from the Securitrons and other casinos. RadioHello The attack is coming from the Omertas. They are using some kind of gas to kill everyone in the casinos on the strip. How is this possible? RadioHello The monorail at Camp McCarran just exploded. I'm not getting any reports of any fighting, but the monorail is gone for sure. RadioHello We aren't going to be able to reinforce the Strip against the Omerta assault there. How the fuck did this happen? Jesus. RadioHello There is some sort of obstruction on the road to Hoover Dam. We're going to do our best to send reinforcements around.

Thank you very very much for listening. RadioHello Hello ladies and gentlemen. Mr. New Vegas here. You're all so great, we're gonna keep you listening all day. RadioHello Howdy folks, it's Mr. New Vegas, and I have a good feeling about all of you listening. RadioHello Welcome back to the Mr. New Vegas Show, the show with, in my opinion - which I respect - the best looking audience around. Somebody prove me wrong. RadioHello Me again, Mr. New Vegas, reminding you that you're nobody till somebody loves you. And that somebody is me. I love you. RadioHello Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to me, Mr. New Vegas, and you look extraordinarily beautiful right now. RadioHello This is Radio New Vegas, and I'm your host, Mr. New Vegas. And in case you're wondering if you've come to the right place, you have. RadioHello You know, I tried to measure my charisma on a {VITE-o-MAT-ic}Vit-o-matic Vigor Tester once. The machine burst into flames. RadioHello The women of New Vegas ask me a lot if there's a Mrs. New Vegas. Of course there is. You're her. And you're still as perfect as the day we met. RadioHello This is Mr. New Vegas, fanning the flames of your passion. RadioHello And we're back. This is Mr. New Vegas, and I feel something magic in the air tonight. And I'm not just talking about the gamma radiation. RadioHello Welcome back to the program. This is Mr. New Vegas, and I hope I'm not comin' on too strong. RadioHello You're listening to Radio New Vegas, your little jukebox in the Mojave Wasteland. I'm Mr. New Vegas, and I'm here for you. RadioHello Hey, it's Mr. New Vegas, letting you know I've got a new Christmas compilation coming out soon. Nuclear Winter Wonderland. Look for it on holotape. RadioHello {Hushed, urgent, impatient}Bravo, come in, Bravo. Is anyone out there? RadioHello {Hushed, nervous}The camp was attacked. I think I'm the only one left alive. RadioHello {Hushed, urgent}We were attacked by some kind of freak mutants from the caves. Please send backup! RadioHello {Hushed, nervous}God damn leg... {whince}I don't know how much longer I'm going to make it before I bleed out. RadioHello {Hushed, urgent}Bravo, this is Camp Guardian calling for backup. No sign of the rest of the men stationed here. RadioHello {Hushed, nervous}This is Private Halford requesting backup. Anyone out there? RadioHello {Hushed, urgent}Guardian is down. I repeat Guardian is down. Requesting backup from any nearby forces. RadioHello {Hushed, fearful}Those beasts drug the rest of the men away. Oh God, I hope they don't come back for me. RangerAndyLeg Yeah. Twice. Actually the first time it was more like half my body. Knocked me out of the Rangers. RangerAndyLeg This time it's mostly just reminded me how useless I've gotten. RangerAndyLegStory A few years back, we get a tip that some Legion slavers were holed up in this burnt out house a few klicks from where we were stationed. RangerAndyLegStory We get there and it's deserted. No sign anyone's been there. I mean nothing. As we're leaving, I hear something behind me. RangerAndyLegStory I turn around and there's this kid, just skin and bone, and he's looking up at us and he's scared half to death. Been hiding in a closet. RangerAndySomethingElse
Yeah. I'm with you there.
RangerAndySomethingElse Like what? RangerAndyStationAcceptLogQuest Be careful out there. RangerAndyStationCompletion Well, thanks for telling me. I know that knowledge didn't come without risk. RangerAndyStationCompletion Here. Take this, courtesy of the Ranger veterans fund. RangerAndyStationCompletion Tell you what. I'll pay you for what you did, but I'll do you one better, too. RangerAndyStationCompletion There's a move we have in the Rangers for knocking an opponent off his feet. Saved my butt a bunch of times, maybe it will for you too. RangerAndyStationCompletion Let me show you how it's done. RangerAndyStationDeclineLogQuest Sorry you feel that way. Then again, I'm not so sure I want to know who did this, myself. RangerAndyStationLookIntoOffer Uh... no. No. They're gonna think I'm having trouble letting go. They're good soldiers. I don't give them enough credit. RangerAndyStationNCRWeak Obviously you don't know the first damn thing about the Rangers. Without them, nobody in these parts would be safe. RangerAndyStationNCRWeak No, I'm getting all worked up for nothing. Those boys are just fine. RangerAndyStationProbablyNothing Yeah, who am I kidding? It's funny, you get stuck in your room for a few weeks, you start to worry the world's gonna fall apart without you. RangerAndyStationProbablyNothing Those guys are fine. They don't need me looking over their shoulders. RangerAndyStationRansacked What? What happened? RangerAndyStationReportLie Those were good men at the station. Good men. This whole town was sleeping a lot easier because of them. RangerAndyStationReportLie At least they gave somebody some hell on their way out. RangerAndyStationReportLie Those were good men at the station. Good men. This whole town was sleeping a lot easier because of them. RangerAndyStationReportLie At least they gave somebody some hell on their way out. RangerAndyStationReportLie Well, thanks for telling me. I know that knowledge didn't come without risk. RangerAndyStationReportNoDetails God damn it! I just spoke to them the other day. If this is some kind of sick joke- RangerAndyStationReportNoDetails
Nah, that'd be too far, even for those guys.
RangerAndyStationReportNoDetails Listen, this could be trouble for all of us. Whoever did this is still out there, and they might come this way. RangerAndyStationReportNoDetails If you can find out who did this, we can be better prepared to deal with them if they come through here. RangerAndyStationReportTrue Those were good men at the station. Good men. This whole town was sleeping a lot easier because of them. RangerAndyStationReportTrue Now, who knows what we're in for? The Legion? Christ, we'd be better off with Raiders. RangerAndyStationReportTrue Those were good men at the station. Good men. This whole town was sleeping a lot easier because of them. RangerAndyStationReportTrue Now, who knows what we're in for? The Legion? Christ, we'd be better off with Raiders. RangerAndyStationReportTrue Well, thanks for telling me. I know that knowledge didn't come without risk. RangerAndyStationReportUnsure Please, if you know the truth, tell me. Those guys were friends of mine. RangerAndyStationReportUnsure Okay. Keep me posted. RangerAndyStationReturnWithLog I'm afraid to ask. RangerAndyUsefulKnowledge Heh. People don't exactly line up to find out what's in my head. Can't remember the last time someone suggested I knew something worth knowing. RangerAndyUsefulKnowledge You know, maybe there's something I can do for you. Since you've gone to all the trouble of flattering a crippled old soldier. RangerAndyUsefulKnowledge There's a move we have in the Rangers for knocking an opponent off his feet. Saved my butt a bunch of times, maybe it will for you too. RangerAndyUsefulKnowledge Let me show you how it's done. RangerAndyWhatDoYouDo Right now? A whole lot of sitting on my keister and counting cracks in the ceiling. I wouldn't wish it on anybody. RangerAndyWhatDoYouDo On better days I help keep the peace. Boone and Vargas watch the road, I watch the town. Tell myself I'm doing some good. RangerAndyWithNCR Was. Was with them. That was back when my arm and leg used to work better. RangerAndyWithNCR I still like to pretend I'm a Ranger, though. I'll check in with the guys up at the station pretty regular on the ham radio. RangerAndyWithNCR Sometimes they stop by, tell me they're paying their respects, the smug bastards. RangerAndyWithNCR They haven't been responding to me, last couple of days. I guess they got tired of hearing me talk, but it's still got me a little worried. RangerAndyWithNCR Hell, listen to me talk. Like some damn mother hen. RaulAndy2 Your memory is like a steel trap, boss. What do you think of guys like Ranger Andy? RaulCorporalSterling Got a second to talk, boss? RaulDecision Yeah, boss? RaulFestus It's like looking into a mirror. A tacky, cowboy-festooned mirror. RaulForlornHope Eesh. These soldiers look how I feel, boss. RaulHanlon {Hanlon has just committe suicide}See, that's why you should retire before your brain goes. Oh. Sorry, boss. Bad choice of words. RaulHeavyArmor Eesh, boss, are you trying to destroy my knees even faster than nature? RaulHeavyArmor Oh, wearing this is not going to be good to me. RaulHooverDam I can't believe I'm about to do this, boss. If I buy it out there, I want twelve mariachi bands playing at my funeral. A medal might be nice, too. RaulJacobstown Just putting this out there, boss: if these Super mutants kidnap us and force us to fix toasters for them, it's on you. RaulLoyal2 That Loyal guy. He's getting up there in years, but he still finds a way to make himself useful to his people. RaulLoyal2 If you ask me, that's better than withering away all alone, or holding on to some faded piece of glory from your past. RaulMakeBoomer That's a good thing to see, huh boss? RaulPvtEdwardsDUPLICATE000 Cheer up, kid. It's not that bad. Sure, your skin rots off and you start to stink like a public toilet after Cinco de Mayo, but... umm.... RaulPvtEdwardsDUPLICATE000 What? How is that not bad? In fact, how could it get worse? RaulPvtEdwardsDUPLICATE000 Well, assuming you survive the radiation sickness, the lynch mobs, and the possibility of going feral, one day you'll get old and decrepit, like me. RaulPvtEdwardsDUPLICATE000 Oh god! RaulPvtEdwardsDUPLICATE000 What? Was it something I said? RaulPvtHalford Ah, he's young, boss. He'll bounce back. Unlike some of us. RaulQuestions Questions, boss? You mean you don't know everything there is to know already? RaulRangerAndy Hey boss, can I ask you something? RaulRepair You got the caps, I got the skills. RaulRepair Sure, boss. I'd be happy to prolong my captivity and psychological abuse to tighten some lug nuts for you. RaulRepair Sure, I'll just pull a toolbox out from behind a conveniently-placed rock and get to work. RaulREPCON Hey, I'm one of you! Don't eat me, eat the smoothskin! Oh, uh, sorry boss. RaulSearchlight I guess hunting down ghouls like wild animals is okay. I mean, they're probably going to die anyways, right boss? RaulSelf Sure, boss. What do you want to know? RaulSterling2 Meeting Corporal Sterling, well... it kind of got me thinking. RaulSterling2 Here's a guy that's been beat all to hell, right? I mean, he could have retired from the service, but instead he signs back on and does what he can. RaulSterling2 You think he did the right thing? RaulStories That's what I love about you, boss, your firm belief that one day you'll actually remember things people tell you. What do you want to hear about? RaulStory1 I grew up in a place called Hidalgo Ranch just outside Mexico City. It wasn't much, just a bit of farm with a house for three generations of Tejadas. RaulStory1 I wasn't the best-behaved kid. I was quick with my hands, with a pistol or a wrench, and I wasn't afraid to get into fights over it. RaulStory1 I never killed anybody, but I had my share of run-ins with the police. Mostly my family kept me in line. RaulStory1 This was before the war. We were far enough away from Mexico City when the bombs fell that we missed the worst of it - but things got bad quick. RaulStory2 After the fire, I knew my sister and I couldn't stay at Hidalgo Ranch anymore. The refugees still wanted me dead - they even put a bounty on me. RaulStory2 I remember how scared Rafaela was. I told her if she came with me, we'd see the vaqueros - she used to love the rodeo, especially the trick riders. RaulStory2 We figured maybe we could find help in Mexico City - we were young, we didn't know what had happened, really. We didn't understand about the bombs. RaulStory3 I left everything when I left Mexico: my home, my family, my name - even my face. I know it's surprising, boss, but I wasn't always this handsome. RaulStory3 As far as the world knew, I was Miguel, and I was okay with that. I headed north for a while, and ended up in Tuscon - not Two-Sun, by the way. RaulStory3 Things were good there. Well, maybe not good, but better than Mexico City, anyways. I found myself a little shack and started fixing things. RaulSweets How'd you know I had a sweet tooth, boss? RaulSweets Ahh, sarsaparilla. That's just what this dry old throat needs. RaulSweets You're going to rot my teeth, boss. What's left of them, anyways. RaulTabitha That wig is going to haunt my nightmares. Seriously. RazzArmy Shit, man, it was this or the Fiends, and Fiends don't last too long in the NCR. RazzArmy At least this way the badasses with the top-shelf guns are on my side. RazzArmy Shit, honey, it was this or the Fiends, and Fiends don't last too long in the NCR. RazzArmy At least this way the badasses with the top-shelf guns are on my side. RazzCampGolf What you want to know? Whole place used to be some kinda rich bastard resort, back before the war. RazzCampGolf Now the Rangers use the old resort, and we grunts get to live in tents. Fucking typical. RazzHistory Ain't much to tell. Grew up out west, in the Boneyard. Heard of it? RazzHistory Yeah, not many people have. Wasn't really a good place for kids, you know? I joined up to get out. My family's still back there. RazzMisfits We don't talk too much, mostly. Poindexter's a smartass prick. RazzMisfits O'Hanrahan's a big pussy, ain't good for shit in a fight, and Mags... well, Mags is cut out for something other than soldiering, you dig? Regenerating {Rush of health}MMmmahh.
Regenerating {sighs}That helps. Regenerating {relieved}Much better. Regenerating {Rush of health}Sweet as roses. Regenerating {Rush of health}Getting my second wind here. Regenerating {Rush of health}Mmm, now that feels good. Regenerating {Rush of health}Whew. Regenerating {Getting second wind}Ooh, that eases the aches. Not all of them, but some. Regenerating {Getting second wind}Ahh, that feels better. I might not die for a while yet. Regenerating {Getting second wind}Much better. Regenerating {Getting second wind}Oh, {gramma}grandma feels much better now. Regenerating {Getting second wind}That's much better, isn't it, Leo? Regenerating {Getting second wind}Ahh.... RegisCaesar I heard you try to convince Papa Khan not to join with Caesar's Legion. I'd like to talk to you about that for a moment. RegisCaesar Let me see. {Thoughtful, dawning horror}My God, this is even worse than I thought. Okay, you have my support. I'll tell Papa the alliance is a bad idea. RegisCaesar What do you want to know? RegisNCR That's a complicated question. They've done horrible things to our people to be sure, and I've gladly killed many of their soldiers in battle. RegisNCR But I can't bring myself to hate them the way Papa does. Things would damn sure be better for us if they were in charge than Caesar. RegisNCR You're the chief now. What do we do? RegisNCR Without Papa Khan's guidance, I don't know what else to do. All right - you can tell the NCR the Great Khans will fight for them when Caesar attacks. RegisPapaKhan Papa is one of the best leaders the Khans have ever had. He's kept us together through all of our hardships, ever since we left California. RegisPapaKhan Bitter Springs changed him, though. He started to really hate the NCR after the Massacre, and sometimes I worry that's poisoned his mind. RemnantsCannibalJohnsonUpset You guys are actually going to help the Legion? No thanks - count me out of this one.

Please be patient, the tour will begin in just a moment. REPCONHQFreeformREPCONTourGuideTopic001 I am so pleased you enjoyed the last tour! A new tour will begin in a moment, if you wish to wait. REPCONHQFreeformREPCONTourGuideTopic002 I can answer whatever questions you'd like... {Warning}provided your query is limited to REPCONN history, research and development, or RobCo. REPCONHQFreeformREPCONTourGuideTopic003 REPCONN's illustrious history began way back in 2054, shortly after the famous Delta XI rocket was completed and launched. REPCONHQFreeformREPCONTourGuideTopic003 REPCONN's initial focus was on the development of fuel to be used in orbital propulsion in response to the energy crisis of 2052. Sad times, indeed. REPCONHQFreeformREPCONTourGuideTopic003 The company really took off when RobCo purchased REPCONN in late 2076 to develop unmanned rockets to explore the solar system. REPCONHQFreeformREPCONTourGuideTopic004 As you may already know, REPCONN is an industry leader in producing alternative fuels for military and scientific purposes. REPCONHQFreeformREPCONTourGuideTopic004 REPCONN scientists were pioneers in fission-based propulsion systems, and have recently had some very exciting breakthroughs with plasma systems. REPCONHQFreeformREPCONTourGuideTopic004 The recent partnership with RobCo has freed our engineers from mundane business matters, allowing them to focus solely on future projects. REPCONHQFreeformREPCONTourGuideTopic005 RobCo industries purchased REPCONN in 2075 to assist with some of RobCo's military projects, as well as developing unmanned space exploration. REPCONHQFreeformREPCONTourGuideTopic005 The relationship between RobCo and REPCONN is mutually beneficial, and we hope that both companies bolster each other well into the next century. REPCONHQFreeformREPCONTourGuideTopic006 Very well, feel free to ask me more about REPCONN at {emphasis}any time, don't be shy. REPCONHQFreeformREPCONTourGuideTopic006 The tour showcases REPCONN's amazing scientific contributions, and the promise of many more, coupled with its parent company, RobCo.

Courtesy of the fine folks at RobCo, I'll be your guide today on the path of... Scientific. Discovery. REPCONHQTour01 In the lead-lined case behind me is a spent radioactive rod from of our old reactors. No need to stand too close, let's move along, shall we? REPCONHQTour02 Look here - a row of multi-colored plasma fuels! Careful, they may look safe to drink, but your stomach is the last place they should be. REPCONHQTour02 Why the difference in cylinder size? Refining our production methods has resulted in higher yields of fuel over time, that's why! REPCONHQTour03 To my right you can see a sample of some old safety barrels" REPCONN once used to store radioactive waste. Perfectly safe." REPCONHQTour03 On my left is an example of a mountain of REPCONN safety barrels some legislators claim are poisoning our environment. Ridiculous. REPCONHQTour04 Behind me is our most recent rocket project, which we're keeping under our hats... until launch REPCONHQTour04 And in front of me is a model - not actual size - of the launch dome we are using to send our rockets screeeeaming into orbit. REPCONHQTour05 Now these colorful fellows behind me are REPCONN's earliest... experiments in flight. Feel free to read the plaques and learn, Rocketeers! REPCONHQTour06 Now for the highlight of our tour! Due to a generous donation from RobCo, this next exhibit showcases the wondrous world of - robots! REPCONHQTour06 Around you are the incredible Eyebot, the fearsome Sentry Bot, and the {chuckles}always-helpful Mr. Handy. That helpfulness runs through our whole line! REPCONHQTour07 This is the final stop on our tour. This model of our solar system is a small example of where the partnership between RobCo and REPCONN hopes to go. REPCONHQTour07 See those little rockets zipping about? They are manned by robots, tirelessly looking for resources to mine on planets beyond our own. REPCONHQTour07 And that's it for our tour today, Rocketeers - RobCo and its tiny partner REPCONN thank you! Any further questions, please, feel free to ask.

How many radscorpion glands you got? RNashWhatCook My specialty is a radscorpion venom casserole. It's a more appetizing than it sounds! RNashWhatCook The venom has a sharp, smokey flavor, and it numbs your mouth so fierce you'll forget you ever had a tongue!

RNVNewsStory3 {No-Bark Noonan:}Don't you laugh at me. I know a spell that'll make you show your true form. Cave rat taught it to me. RNVNewsStory3 Listeners are not advised to follow that path in hopes of similar results. RNVNewsStory3 {Private Morales:}Esteban's going home now. I can't tell you what that means to me. RNVNewsStory3 {Marjorie:}Nor is he allowed to sample the world-class cuisine of the Gourmand, New Vegas' only 5-star restaurant. RNVNewsStory3 The legate then ordered a tenth of his own force be killed by the other nine tenths. {Beat}And you thought {emph}your boss was a pain. RNVNewsStory3 Once again, NCR President Aaron Kimball, dead at 48. RNVNewsTransition In other news... RNVNewsTransition Also in the headlines... RNVNewsTransition Moving on...

RRCLegionAmbush You've been a persistent annoyance. I had hoped to avoid this, but it seems I have no choice but to deal with you myself. RSAlphaQuestCommRangerAlphaTopic002 Just the usual. Legion scouts try to slip across the river a couple times a week, but they always end up floating downriver with holes in their heads. RSCharlieAudioLog1Audio ...drove the raiders off. No casualties.

RSGlobalCommBreakdownSergeantReyesTopic001 I've been trying to get someone to authorize this update - or at the least get field clearance to leave the camp and do this myself. RSGlobalCommBreakdownSergeantReyesTopic001 But nobody takes me seriously - they just think I'm an incompetent desk jockey trying to glamorize the importance of my job. RSGlobalCommBreakdownSergeantReyesTopic002 Less than a third of reported enemy sightings are getting intercepted. Either our intel is faulty, or our enemies are one step ahead of us. RSGlobalCommBreakdownTopic002 I have the delightful task of tabulating stockpiles, kill ratios, mission success rates, radiation deaths, and other truly fascinating numbers. RSGlobalCommBreakdownTopic002 I've come across numerous inconsistencies between our numbers and our reports - especially with regards to intercepting hostiles.

I love that woman, but I swear this time she was gonna get us killed! SammyPaulineConvinced The gun's in the safe. The combination's 05-23-34. Take it far away from here, before she changes her mind. SammyPlan You'll have to ask Pauline about that! She's the brains of our operation. I'm the muscle. SammyWhoAreYou Me? I'm Sammy, of Sammy and Pauline, the wasteland's most dangerous and notorious criminal duo! SammyWhoAreYou You better not mess with us or you'll end up face down in a shallow grave! SgtMcGeeAbout I'm from Hub originally, but it's been a long time since I saw it. I'm on my second tour here. Most Non-Commissioned Officers are. SgtMcGeeGoodbye You were the one who came talking to me. SgtMcGeeLatestNews Do you think I'm blind? Of course I can see the Powder Gangers have taken over Primm. SgtMcGeeLatestNews You have any other obvious facts you'd like to share? Don't fist fight with Deathclaws? No kissing Cazadores? SgtMcGeeLatestNews I can't imagine that deputy of theirs is worth more than a spit. I was on lookout when he got frog marched over to Bison Steve. SgtMcGeeLatestNews If I had a long rifle or the order I would have taken out the Powder Gangers to save him, but I didn't. His tough shit I guess. SnipersRevengeBooneWife How should I put it? I guess you could say she was kinda like a cactus flower. Real pretty to look at, but there was just no getting close to her. SnipersRevengeBooneWife She never did take to living here. She liked the big lights and fast living of New Vegas. SnipersRevengeBooneWife I got the feeling she was trying to get Boone to leave with her, but I guess she got tired of waiting. SnipersRevengeBooneWife Carla was a knockout. Whenever Boone walked around with her, he always had this funny grin on his face like he couldn't believe his luck. SnipersRevengeBooneWife I know {emph}we couldn't. SnipersRevengeBooneWife That wasn't the only reason she stuck out, though. That girl never minced words. SnipersRevengeBooneWife If she'd had better food or hospitality, she'd let you hear it. Trouble was, she usually had. SnipersRevengeBooneWife I don't think she meant it. She really was a sweet girl. SnipersRevengeBooneWife I think she just wanted to remind herself that there are still nicer places in this world than Novac. Who could blame her for that? SnipersRevengeBooneWife Boone. That's that sniper fella, works in the dinosaur, right? I only met them but once or twice. SnipersRevengeBooneWife They seemed real happy together. I really oughtta to get to know them better. They're probably nice folk. SnipersRevengeBooneWife Well, to be honest with you, I don't really know them two as well as I might. SnipersRevengeBooneWife I remember she had an edge about her, like she'd rather be someplace else. This kind of life ain't for everyone, that's for darn sure. SnipersRevengeBooneWife Can't say we spoke much. Boone did most of the buying for them. She was in the store once, but she didn't stay long. SnipersRevengeBooneWife Had a look on her face like she'd smelled something sour. But far as I can remember, the gift shop smelled fine. Well... fine as it always does. SnipersRevengeComeOutside Okay, if that's what you think. SnipersRevengeComeOutside Again? All right. SnipersRevengeComeOutside As long as we don't go too far. Jeannie May would have a fit if she saw me out and about. SnipersRevengeComeOutside Any excuse to get out of my room. SnipersRevengeComeOutside What, now? This better be good. SnipersRevengeComeOutside You say so, chief. SnipersRevengeComeOutside If you're talking about that thing that looks like the entrance to the center of the Earth, I think it might just be a pothole. SnipersRevengeComeOutside But we better check it out anyway. SnipersRevengeComeOutside I know we already did this, but this time things might turn out different. SnipersRevengeComeOutside I guess I can leave the store for a minute. I hope I don't miss any customers. SnipersRevengeComeOutside Really? Store's still okay, isn't it? SnipersRevengeComeOutside You sure seem worked up about something. I suppose I can hear you out. SnipersRevengeComeOutside It's kinda late, but I guess if it's important to you. SnipersRevengeDidYouDoIt Believe me. When I heard the news, my first thought was, I owe somebody. Big. I figured Boone would come around after a while. SnipersRevengeDidYouDoIt But he hasn't. And I'm starting to think that if he doesn't find her that things will never go back to the way they were. SnipersRevengeHurtBoonesWife Man, everybody. That girl didn't have one friend in this whole town. She didn't want any. SnipersRevengeHurtBoonesWife She wanted to sit in her room all day and make herself miserable. And she went out of her way to be rude. SnipersRevengeHurtBoonesWife She upset a lot of people. You wouldn't have liked her, either. SnipersRevengeTooFar If it's just the same to you, I think I'll stay in town. I feel safer that way. SnipersRevengeTooFar Hey, I'm sorry, but I've gotta turn around. Leg's giving me some trouble. SnipersRevengeTooFar Maybe some other time. I'm not really in the mood for a hike. SnipersRevengeWrongWithBoone Nothing that wouldn't be wrong with any man who loses a wife, I suppose. Poor dear. SnipersRevengeWrongWithBoone I know he thinks she was kidnapped, but I'm not so sure she didn't just run off on her own. SnipersRevengeWrongWithBoone You could tell she was thinking about it ever since they arrived. SnipersRevengeWrongWithBoone Had his wife taken. I don't think he'll ever be the same as he was. Damn shame. SnipersRevengeWrongWithBoone I told the Rangers up at the station to keep an eye out, but there's just too much ground out there for them to cover. SpeechChallengeFailure That's just the kind of thing I'd be expecting them to say. Which proves you're not with them. SpeechChallengeFailure Well, that's a load off. What do you want to know? SpeechChallengeFailure No, I don't think I have much to offer in that department either. Too many blows to the head during combat drills.

SSHQFestusAddendum1 It has come to our attention that some of our loyal customers are less than pleased with the reward for their Sunset Sarsaparilla Stars. SSHQFestusAddendum2 Our motto at Sunset Sarsaparilla is that the customer always comes first, so we have seen fit to provide an alternate reward for your Stars. SSHQFestusAddendum3 Head through the double doors and take a left at the intersection. Follow the hallway all the way to its end, and you'll come to our prize vault. SSHQFestusAddendum4 An attendant will be there to distribute your prize. We here at Sunset Sarsaparilla would like to thank you once again for your patronage. SSHQFestusAdvisory I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand that. Could you repeat it? SSHQFestusAdvisory I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand that. Could you repeat it? SSHQFestusAdvisory While Sunset Sarsaparilla is perfectly safe, a recent independent study - whose validity is currently being challenged - revealed the following: SSHQFestusAdvisory Excessive ingestion of sarsaparilla can lead to deleterious effects including, but not limited to: SSHQFestusAdvisory kidney damage, SSHQFestusAdvisory nausea, SSHQFestusAdvisory digital numbness, SSHQFestusAdvisory anxiety, SSHQFestusAdvisory loss of visual acuity, SSHQFestusAdvisory dizziness, SSHQFestusAdvisory occasional nosebleeds, SSHQFestusAdvisory joint inflammation, SSHQFestusAdvisory tooth decay, SSHQFestusAdvisory sore throat, SSHQFestusAdvisory bronchitis, SSHQFestusAdvisory organ rupture, SSHQFestusAdvisory and halitosis. SSHQFestusAdvisory Note that you'd have to drink a heap of Sunset Sarsaparilla to match the quantities used in the study. How much, you ask? SSHQFestusAdvisory A lot. A whole helluva lot. In fact, you'd have to get full as a tick on Sunset Sarsaparilla to even come close. SSHQFestusAdvisory Anyway, thanks for stopping by, partner! And keep drinking Sunset Sarsaparilla! SSHQFestusDepositStars Wahoo, you did it pardner! Bully for you! Ol' Festus knew you could do it. I suppose you'll be wanting that prize now. SSHQFestusDepositStars Well then, hold onto your hat, because it's a doozy. Not many people have heard the true story behind Sunset Sarsaparilla. It's a right honor. SSHQFestusDepositStars And now, without further ado, your prize - The Legend of the Star... SSHQFestusDepositStars Looooong ago, people didn't have a heap of choices when it came to soft drinks. It was either water, or Nuka-cola. SSHQFestusDepositStars Now, the threat of legal action forces me to say that Nuka-cola is a swell beverage, but sometimes people just wanted something different, you know? SSHQFestusDepositStars So one day a man, a saloon owner in a small town, decided to make a new type of soft drink, and asked his patrons what flavor they'd like it to be. SSHQFestusDepositStars After getting no help from them, a stranger at the end of the bar suggested the man make a sarsaparilla flavored drink. SSHQFestusDepositStars The stranger said he would happily share his family's recipe for the drink, on one condition. SSHQFestusDepositStars The condition being that the stranger would be allowed to sample a bottle whenever he liked, to ensure the recipe was being followed to the letter. SSHQFestusDepositStars The man happily agreed, thinking the drink would make him rich, and the stranger promised to meet him by sundown the next day. SSHQFestusDepositStars The next morning, the sheriff stopped by and reported that the stranger's body was found on the side of the town road. He'd been killed by bandits. SSHQFestusDepositStars The man, cursing his luck, closed the saloon early that day, just as the sun began to set. SSHQFestusDepositStars But after he had locked the doors, he turned around to find an unfamiliar bottle on the bar, with a note beneath it. SSHQFestusDepositStars The note was sealed with blue wax in the shape of a star. Opening it, the man found it contained a recipe for a sarsaparilla-flavored drink. SSHQFestusDepositStars Sampling the bottle's contents and finding it singularly delicious, the man gave silent thanks to his mysterious benefactor, wherever he was. SSHQFestusDepositStars Being an honorable man, the saloon owner paid for the stranger's funeral, thinking it was the least he could do to repay him. SSHQFestusDepositStars The saloon owner went on to become rich selling the new drink, and to this day some bottles of Sunset Sarsaparilla have a blue star under their caps. SSHQFestusDepositStars Some say the saloon owner ordered it done, in honor of the stranger. Others say it's the stranger, sampling the bottles like he promised. SSHQFestusDepositStars And that's the Legend of the Star. Hope you enjoyed it, and hope you continue enjoying Sunset Sarsaparilla! SSHQFestusDepositStars By my hat, you're flush with Stars, ain't you? Scratch up a few more and the prize's yours. SSHQFestusDepositStars Well, what in the Sam Hill are you doing still listening to me? Get a wiggle on and find those last few Stars! SSHQFestusDepositStars It looks like you've got a fair number of Stars in your saddlebags. You're still a few cards short of a hand, though. SSHQFestusDepositStars That's a good start there, soft-horn, but that's not enough by a long chalk. SSHQFestusGoodbye Sorry to see you go so soon. Be sure to drink a Sunset Sarsaparilla for me! SSHQFestusKiddingMe The Sunset Sarsaparilla Company has received a number of complaints regarding the prize awarded for handing in Sunset Sarsaparilla Stars. SSHQFestusKiddingMe Therefore, we have seen fit to provide another prize that we feel will placate the most discriminating customer. SSHQFestusKiddingMe Just head through the double doors and follow the hallway to your left to the very end. An attendant will be there to present your prize, directly. SSHQFestusKiddingMe We at the Sunset Sarsaparilla Company would once again like to thank you for your patronage. SSHQFestusLHInstructions Lucky Horseshoes is played with cards numbered two through ten and aces, which have a value of one. SSHQFestusLHInstructions You and ol' Festus will take turns drawing cards. Each time we draw a card, we add it to our total, trying to hit the magic number of twenty one. SSHQFestusLHInstructions If either of us draws a card that brings our total up to the same number as the other, it pushes the other player's total up one. SSHQFestusLHInstructions When this happens, it's called Lucky Horseshoes! Ol' Festus thought of the name himself, I'll have you know. SSHQFestusLHInstructions When one of us is closer to twenty one and the other can't get any closer, either by going over or because he or she held, the closer player wins. SSHQFestusLHInstructions Ol' Festus likes the game because there are no ties in Lucky Horseshoes. If someone's sitting pretty on twenty one, lady luck can still bump 'em off! SSHQFestusLHInstructions But enough jawing. By now you're as eager as I am to get tossing. SSHQFestusLHStart If this is your first rodeo with the ol' horseshoes, say How do I play?". Otherwise SSHQFestusLOS1 Looooong ago, people didn't really have many choices when it came to soft drinks. It was either water, or Nuka-cola. SSHQFestusLOS10 The next day, the man came downstairs to find a single bottle with a note beneath it on the bar. SSHQFestusLOS11 The man picked up the note, and found it contained a recipe for making a sarsaparilla-flavored drink, and was signed with a blue star. SSHQFestusLOS12 Opening the bottle, the man found the inside of the cap had the same blue star on it. He also found that the drink was delicious. SSHQFestusLOS13 That night, the local sheriff visited the saloon and reported that the stranger had been found on the side of the town road, murdered. SSHQFestusLOS14 He had apparently been attacked by bandits on his way to the saloon the previous day. SSHQFestusLOS15 Stunned by the news, the man told the sheriff about the note, bottle, and the deal he had with the stranger. SSHQFestusLOS16 The sheriff suggested that maybe the bandits, in a fit of remorse, delivered the items. After taking all of the stranger's money, of course. SSHQFestusLOS17 Now, I don't know about you, but old Festus here never met a bandit that felt anything akin to remorse. SSHQFestusLOS18 The man felt the same, and had his own idea about what had happened. He went on to become rich selling the sarsaparilla drink, and started a company. SSHQFestusLOS19 And to this day, you can get a Sunset Sarsaparilla and enjoy the refreshing taste of that very same drink. SSHQFestusLOS2 Now, the threat of legal action forces me to say that Nuka-cola is a swell beverage, but sometimes people just wanted something different, you know? SSHQFestusLOS20 And sometimes, you can even find a blue star under the cap, just like that man did so many years ago. SSHQFestusLOS21 And that's the Legend of the Star. Hope you enjoyed it, and hope you continue enjoying Sunset Sarsaparilla! SSHQFestusLOS3 So one day a man, a saloon owner in a small town, decided to make a new type of soft drink, something that tasted far different than anything else. SSHQFestusLOS4 But the man was at a loss as to what kind of flavor to use. He asked all of his patrons for ideas, but they were no help at all. SSHQFestusLOS5 Then one day, a stranger walked into the saloon. When asked what he'd like, the stranger replied, You got anything with sarsaparilla in it?"" SSHQFestusLOS6 The man had never heard of a drink with sarsaparilla in it, and said so. The stranger told the man that he'd make a deal with him. SSHQFestusLOS7 If the man bought the ingredients, the stranger promised to meet him by sundown the next day and teach him how to make a sarsaparilla drink. SSHQFestusLOS8 The man happily agreed to the deal, and had the ingredients waiting the following day. But the sun came and went, and the stranger never came. SSHQFestusLOS9 The man figured he had been tricked and went to sleep, leaving the ingredients he had purchased down by the bar. SSHQFestusLuckyHorseshoes All right, let's play, pardner!

TopsBillyKnightPerformanceStrings I've been married for 17 years. Where did I go wrong? TopsBillyKnightPerformanceStrings I've been in love with the same woman for 17 years. If my wife ever finds out, she'll kill me! TopsBillyKnightPerformanceStrings My wife and I know the secret to a happy marriage. Two times a week, we go to a nice restaurant. She goes Mondays, I go Fridays. TopsBillyKnightPerformanceStrings I take my wife everywhere, but somehow she keeps finding her way back. TopsBillyKnightPerformanceStrings I bought my wife a little car here in New Vegas. An Omerta. It has a hood under the hood. TopsBillyKnightPerformanceStrings People say it's hard to survive the Wasteland - how hard can it be, the water glows in the dark! TopsBillyKnightPerformanceStrings So I hear Mr. House runs the Strip. He took it over from the last guy, Mr. Mob-Infested Hellhole. TopsBillyKnightPerformanceStrings I had dinner at the Ultra-Luxe the other night. I told them my steak tasted funny. They said it was a clown. TopsBillyKnightPerformanceStrings I hear James Garret drove 5,000 head of Brahmin to New Reno. No bodies, just the heads. TopsBillyKnightPerformanceStrings A ghoul goes to a doctor and he says Doctor TopsGreeterCasino Everything your little heart desires, that's what. You like gambling? Boom. Either one of the main hallways has cards, slots, you name it. TopsGreeterCasino Hungry? Thirsty? The restaurant just off the left-hand hallway has the best food and booze in Vegas. TopsGreeterCasino Or maybe you'd rather take in a show? The Aces Theater upstairs always has hot acts raring to go. Check it out. TopsGreeterWeapons Relax, baby, they're safe as houses. We'll keep them locked up in the bank upstairs, right next to the money. It's serious protection. TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings It's great to be up here, looking down at all your smiling faces. That won't last long. TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings Hey, look at this guy! I didn't know they let Brahmin into this joint! TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings Hey, look at this gal! I didn't know they let Brahmin into this joint! TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings Hey, look at this guy! Those muscles are unreal - I mean it, they're imaginary! TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings Hey, look at this gal! Those muscles are unreal - I mean it, they're imaginary! TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings This guy's so sharp-eyed, he cuts himself every time he blinks! TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings This gal's so sharp-eyed, she cuts herself every time she blinks! TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings I tell ya, you've got great eyes. You could spot a Super mutant at three paces. TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings Buddy, you look tough enough to drink a pint of glowing water. Why don't you do us all a favor and try it? TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings Sister, you look tough enough to drink a pint of glowing water. Why don't you do us all a favor and try it? TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings Whoa, you don't look too healthy. Maybe you should see a doctor. Or an undertaker. TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings I hear you've got a ready wit. Tell me when it's ready. TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings My friend, you've got style, grace, and charm - the style of a feral Ghoul, the grace of a Super mutant, and the charm of a Deathclaw. TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings Somebody told me the other day you were bright - I wasn't sure if he meant smart, or radioactive. TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings The way I hear it, you've got brains to spare. Looks to me like a 7-10 split. TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings And talk about your quick reflexes, this guy is so fast he beat me to the punchline. TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings And talk about your quick reflexes, this gal is so fast she beat me to the punchline. TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings Boy, you're clumsy. You're so clumsy when you slip in the shower, you fall up. TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings This guy right here, he's got an angel looking over his shoulder. If I were him, I'd get a restraining order. TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings This gal right here, she's got an angel looking over her shoulder. If I were her, I'd get a restraining order. TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings You know, some people have all the luck. Some people, not you. TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings Was that suit made to order? It was? And where were you at the time? TopsHadrianPerformanceStrings If you had your life to live over again, let me make a suggestion: Play in traffic.

Initiating full countermeasures. VBooneCLAttack Tell the truth... I think this is exactly what I've been waiting for. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic012 Folks around here call me the chief{han-luhn}, but Hanlon's just fine. The rangers run themselves pretty well, but I try to lend a hand. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic012 Mostly administrative work, helping coordinate intel on the radio. That and keeping an eye on the fires growing across the water. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic015 Shoot. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic016 Adios. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic025 The best of the best, worst of the worst. He came out of NCR, one of the Followers of the Apocalypse. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic025 Like a lot of the Followers, he went out in the wilderness with a partner to try to help those who needed helping. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic025 Not much different from how the rangers used to be, except with books and medicine instead of guns. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic029 It's no secret that we've had better campaigns. Holding this whole length of river isn't easy. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic029 We're stretched thin and the Long 15 just keeps getting longer. Slow to get supplies. Slower to get reinforcements. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic029 NCR's senate has got funds tied up at the Boneyard and President Kimball ordered our most experienced rangers to chase ghosts down in Baja. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic029 Even Caesar knows that General Oliver's coming back to Hoover. Colonel Moore's doing a fine job of running things over at the dam. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic029 In her own way, of course, when she's not trying to wrangle my rangers into helping her. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic029 But just keeping that dam secure and operational day to day is enough work for one person, never mind building a defense against the Legion. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic029 Mojave Outpost sent word through the stations. The rangers coming up from Baja moved through Dayglow a week ago. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic029 Some of the patrol rangers have reported that Oliver's power armor heavy troopers are starting to reinforce the front lines. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic029 Wish they got here a bit earlier, but that's the senate for you. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic030 Not too long ago, they took Nelson and Searchlight. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic030 They've got some camps on the eastern shore of the Colorado, and the monstrosity on the hill across the lake - that's for Caesar. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic030 Some folks don't believe he's here yet, but you can tell. He's the eye of the storm. It all roils and spins around him. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic030 You don't have to see the man to see the effect he has. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic030 Intel says the legate's coming. {lan-ee-us}Lanius. They call him the Monster of the East. If he's half as bad as Graham was, we're in for a heck of a fight. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic030 With Caesar and a new legate here, the Legion's not going to fall for the same old bag of tricks. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic030 Word is that the Legion's old timers have shown up, Caesar's veterans from the Red Okie {sen-tur-ee-ah}Centuria and what was the Painted Rock tribe. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic030 They're the best of the best and the baddest of the bad. Short of a centurion or {pray-tor-ee-an}praetorian, they don't come any tougher. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic030 You come across a pack of them, weigh your options carefully. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic031 I could tell you a lot if you had the time, but at my age I'm not sure which of us would get tired first. What do you want to know? VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic032 I didn't realize you were in such a hurry. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic032 I get so used to sitting in this chair and listening to radio reports, sometimes I forget people are getting ready for a war out there. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic033 Interesting that she would wrangle someone else into sorting out the problem. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic033 But I suppose you're in the right place. A lot of intel comes through here. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic033 This again? All right. What do you want to know? VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic034 Hold on. If we're going to have this conversation, let's go somewhere more private. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic034 {joking a bit}Don't worry. Not much bite left in this old dog. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic035 I don't know Technical Sergeant {ray-ess}Reyes, but coordinating intel can be messy sometimes. Things get mixed up, people get confused. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic035 Heck, I get confused and I've been doing this for a long time now. What he - or she - sees as a problem might be standard operating procedure. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic035 That's not to say Reyes is wrong for being concerned, but it's easy for the sand to get in your eyes out here. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic036 Well... {thinking}the logical thing to do is to check with the patrol rangers and comm officers. Don't be too discouraged if some things don't match up. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic036 Different people see different things, and sometimes the meaning gets twisted, lost in static from person to person. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic037 It's a simple system, when it works. Patrol rangers radio intel to ranger stations. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic037 Comm rangers send the intel up the station chain until it reaches Camp Golf. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic037 Then I or one of the other rangers on duty organize the data, evaluate it, and send information to camps or troopers in the field. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic038 Comm rangers might have an incomplete picture of the situation. There's a lot going on out there. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic038 Intel needs to be coordinated through Golf so we can verify and advise appropriately. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic038 Troopers have enough to deal with. We don't want them questioning their intel. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic039 {smiling a bit}You have, have you? {Beat, more somber}Misdirection. When you're pinned down, outnumbered, and two days from any help, it's just about the best friend you can have. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic039 Misdirection's what's saved me all these years. It's what saved us at Hoover Dam. But it's been five years now and {see-zar's}Caesar's right across that lake. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic039 He's closer now than he ever was before. {bit angry}I was a young man once. I know what it's like to want to fight for your home, but this isn't it. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic040 It's never going to end. This fight with Caesar. People back home don't know what these young men and women are in for. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic040 The Legion is the worst enemy we've ever faced, but we can't stop Caesar here, not without getting a lot of good people killed. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic040 More than anyone cares to count up. And even if we do stop him, I don't see how we're ever going to be able to pull out. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic041 We're fighting on their behalf, but Mr. House and the families are stringing us up, inch by inch. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic041 They'll drain us dry while we fight and die over this dam. We offered them sanctuary in NCR territory before, but they won't listen. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic041 Troopers and rangers have been dying here for more than five years while the families sit pretty behind that... damned wall. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic042 {exasperated}People back home don't listen. They don't care. Senators, Brahmin barons, folks who are just trying to make it from day to day. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic042 It's been so many years that people forget about it. Conscription brings in fresh troops to die here every month. Like it's routine. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic042 {getting more worked up}And even if we hold this dam, what then? Are we going to send the NCR's men and women to die here for another five years? Ten? VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic042 Patrol the whole length of the Colorado for hundreds of miles? Holding this dam. {pause, downbeat}It'll be the death of us. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic043 First thing that comes to mind is to turn me in. But that might not be the best play, all things considered. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic043 Even if your heart's in the right place, I reckon it might do a lot more harm than good. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic044 Hold on. This is ranger headquarters. There might be a dozen rangers within earshot. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic044 Think twice before you decide to give the old chief a gut full of lead. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic046 {pause, quieter}Creating fear and instability among the troopers without causing harm, it's the only thing I could think of to shake things up. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic046 It took some people getting killed to realize I had gone too far. I had to stop. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic047 Fair enough. You want to do this the right way, go get one of the rangers. Don't worry. I'm not gonna run out on you. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic048 Oliver can't stand that rangers got credit for victory at Hoover. Whatever I recommend, he does the opposite. I said I wanted them on the ridge. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic048 He put them right on the western part of the dam itself. We don't have enough firepower to hold that spot. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic048 If the troopers fall back, and they will, the rangers will advance to cover Oliver's retreat. We lose the dam, Oliver and the senate are ruined. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic049 Rangers are volunteers. Every man and woman who signs up is willing to die for the NCR, myself included. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic049 A lot of this is my fault. It's only right that I stand with them. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic050 Maybe fifty rangers will die on that dam. We lose over a thousand troopers every year. Being here is crazy. Getting out's the only sane thing to do. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic051 It's a gamble either way. Even with Caesar gone, we still might not outlast the Legion. I suppose that's a risk I'll have to take. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic051 For our sake, I hope you're right. I guess I should thank you for bringing me to my senses. So... thanks. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic051 Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to walk out that door and pretend we never had this talk. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic053 {a little angry}The Legion is more than just Caesar! It's got the momentum of thousands of men behind it. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic053 They're not just going to roll off into Arizona if we give them a good shove. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic055 I don't know if you're working for Caesar or if desperation's made me a heck of a lot more persuasive. Either way, this is the right thing to do. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic055 Now, I trust we're done discussing this. I'm going to step through that door and pretend like we never had this talk. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic058 Well, you got that right. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic059 Legion fires. They burn high wherever the Legion goes. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic059 Caesar's a hard man to figure out, but he always wants you to know when more troops are at your front door. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic060 Out to the Grand Canyon. He met a missionary from Utah, a man by the name of Joshua Graham. Graham helped translate for the Followers and the tribes. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic060 All three of them got nabbed by the Blackfoots down there, back when they were still at war with every other tribe in the southwest. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic061 Somewhere along the way, he realized he needed to educate the Blackfoots or they were going to get wiped out with the rest of the tribe. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic061 Showed them how to use guns, how to make explosives. Once he taught the Blackfoots a thing or two, they needed him. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic061 And he no longer needed the Followers, NCR, or anyone else. He decided he could remake the tribes of the southwest, whether they wanted it or not. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic061 He became Caesar and Joshua Graham became his legate, his right hand. And that's where Graham stayed until Hoover Dam. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic062 Losing the dam was the worst defeat the Legion ever suffered. Graham had been with Caesar since the beginning, but he had to set an example. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic062 The praetorians covered Graham in pitch, lit him on fire, and down into the Grand Canyon he went. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic063 Yes and no. The Blackfoots don't exist anymore, just like any other tribe that gets swallowed by the Legion. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic063 Caesar takes the tribal out of the tribe. Scrapes and burns off tattoos, breaks up families, forces mixed breeding so all the old loyalties die away. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic063 The only tribe in the Legion is the Legion. Caesar is their chief, father, and god all rolled into one. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic064 It's not that clear cut. You have to understand, Graham was the toughest son of a gun anyone around these parts had ever seen. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic064 Before Hoover, we had five kill reports on Graham from rangers and 1st Recon sharpshooters who tried to take him out. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic064 Some folks think he's still alive, call him the Burned Man. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic065 Senate elections are coming up. Local representatives don't want to push any more funding to the Mojave campaign because it's unpopular. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic065 Most of the folks around the Boneyard haven't been to New Vegas and probably never will. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic065 All they know is that their money gets sucked away to this desert and their brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters die here. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic066 It's complicated. Goes way back. I told President Kimball that we need more rangers here. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic066 He accepted that, but took the most experienced ones and sent them south. Patrol rangers are good men and women, but we're about to fight a war. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic067 You've seen it yourself. Some of them don't even have proper service rifles or armor. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic067 Our heavy infantry, power armor units, they're back in NCR territory protecting the interests of Brahmin barons against small-time raiders. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic067 Brahmin barons only have one vote at the ballot box, but they have a lot of money to throw around. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic068 Oh, well... now, you'll have to excuse me. The general and I don't always see eye to eye on things. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic068 Maybe it's best that I just say that he is a trooper, through and through. The man will not give up an inch for anything, least of all to the Legion. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic069 The colonel is an effective commander - one of the best - but she sharpened her claws on the Vipers and the old Jackals. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic069 Did four tours against the Brotherhood, too. She used to be ranger until an injury took her out of action. Happens to a lot of us, unfortunately. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic069 She's better at making graves than making friends. Bring in Moore and the earth will be razed. Fields will be salted. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic070 No, and thanks to General Oliver for that. Colonel {shoo}Hsu is at McCarran. Most of the New Vegas troopers are under his command. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic070 He's more sympathetic to the locals than Moore, but he's got the Fiends to deal with. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic070 No, and thanks to General Oliver for that. Colonel {shoo}Hsu is at McCarran. Most of the New Vegas troopers are under his command. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic070 He's more sympathetic to the locals than Moore. Now that the Fiends aren't giving him grief, we should see more troopers assigned to the front lines. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic070 Good work on that, by the way. Hope you got good bounties out of it. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic071 The Baja rangers can do more advance night scouting and sharpshooting to assist the troopers. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic071 Ranger combat helmets are old Pre-War gear. They have built in low-light optics. Makes a big difference. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic072 They have the best equipment the NCR can get its hands on, power armor salvaged from our war with the Brotherhood. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic072 Techs strip out the joint servos so you don't need special training to wear it. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic072 It feels like you're carrying a Brahmin on your back, but it can take a heck of a lot of punishment. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic073 Nelson was barely set up. We had a big stretch of unprotected land between Forlorn Hope and Searchlight, and Nelson was the solution. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic073 A {deh-can-us}decanus named Dead Sea took the place and caused a lot of damage. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic074 Searchlight was worse. One of Caesar's {froo-men-tar-ee}frumentarii must have found something in there, flooded the whole camp with radiation. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic075 By the way, I appreciate what you did for the troopers down there. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic075 Nelson might not be the most strategically important place, but taking Dead Sea out means a lot to them. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic076 I can't say I think the legionaries at Cottonwood deserved the same fate, but what's done is done. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic076 Thanks to you, that's one less pack of slavers for people to worry about. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic077 Oh, the usual reasons. People say he's enormous, carries a big sword, chops peoples' heads off. That's not what makes him a good commander, though. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic077 Folks say he came from a heck of a tough tribe, took Caesar a long time to conquer. It was thanks to Lanius. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic077 But once Caesar broke him, he was born again. He'll go anywhere and do anything to win. Legion says he can smell weakness. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic077 Once he finds out where an army's vulnerable, he'll go to it like a dog for the throat. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic078 He was a missionary from Utah who hooked up with Caesar at the Grand Canyon, became his translator. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic078 Graham helped Caesar with the Blackfoots after they got captured together. Up until Hoover Dam, he was Caesar's legate. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic078 You wouldn't think a man of god could turn so brutal. Cruel to his opponents. Did the sort of things that make you sick to talk about. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic079 He wasn't a brilliant strategist. Wasn't tactically flexible, either. There was something about him, though. Menace, indestructibility. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic079 It made everyone afraid of him. Heck, the praetorians burned Graham four years ago and some of the tribes are still afraid of him. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic079 They say the Burned Man still walks the land, blackens the earth wherever he sets foot. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic080 Take a regular legionary and age him ten years. Whatever they lose to age they make up for with experience. Life expectancy isn't long in the Legion. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic080 You live ten years in Caesar's army, you're a force to be reckoned with. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic081 There's no real equivalent to them in the NCR. Centurions are battle-born, elite officers who earned their rank with blood and sweat. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic081 They wear special outfits, too, pieced together from the armor of all their defeated enemies. Good commanders, tough opponents. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic082 Caesar's elite guard. They travel with him wherever he goes. A bit of insurance in case any of his guests get funny ideas. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic082 They aren't the toughest legionaries, but they're the most devoted to Caesar. They believe in everything the Legion stands for. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic083 Suppose it depends on what you think is good." Most folks want to hear about Hoover Dam and Boulder City VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic083 If you want some tall tales about hunting down slavers or busting up gangs, talk to one of the younger rangers. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic084 Oh, well. I guess it must be coming up on... forty years or so. Back before {eh-leez}Elise was chief, anyway. It was a heck of a lot harder then. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic084 Weren't as many of us to go around. But I think it was a lot easier to tell the good guys from the bad. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic085 Well, there's what we're supposed to be doing and what we're actually doing. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic085 There's a big gap between those two things, about as wide as that lake out there. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic086 There's a lot of answers to that question, but it started with the Ranger Unification Treaty. We weren't always the only show in town. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic086 Nevada had its own posse, the Desert Rangers. They fought Caesar even farther east, out in Arizona. Didn't go well for them. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic086 Years back, we met with the Desert Rangers at Mojave Outpost and agreed to help them against Caesar if they would join the NCR. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic087 To protect against all forms of tyranny." As simple as that. Thirty VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic087 Slavers. Raiders. Tough-talking hoodlums with gangs who liked to kick around towns. Back then the NCR military was still young. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic087 Couldn't cover much ground. It took groups like ours to tip the balance back to the good guys. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic088 Sitting on the shore of Lake Mead, looking east. Listening to a radio. Trying to not get too many people killed. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic088 I'm too old to be slapping leather, but I had hoped for something else. More than this, anyway. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic089 [SUCCEEDED] It's kind of a long one, but all right. About twenty, twenty-five years ago, a group of NCR settlers pushed way south into Baja. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic089 I guess it doesn't seem so far now if you look at a map, but back then, they were out a ways. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic089 They built this little shanty town around a well in the middle of nowhere. Called it {rat-ul-tayl}Rattletail. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic090 [FAILED] I do, but I'm tired of telling them. Time changes how you look at things. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic091 In big battles, Caesar deploys his legionaries in waves. Recruits up front, prime soldiers behind the recruits, old guard bringing up the rear. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic091 Opponents wear themselves out dealing with the first two waves, if they survive that long. When the veterans step up, there's not much fight left. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic091 Caesar can adapt, though, and when required, he can run any mix of legionaries as skirmishers and still retain order in the ranks. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic092 Word got back to one of our stations that raiders had been attacking the place. I went out with six rangers. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic092 We must have been on the trail for a week before we got to Rattletail. We lost one woman to Night Stalkers and another almost died of dehydration. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic092 When we reach the place, it's six shacks set up around an old well. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic093 There's over two dozen bodies lying in the dunes way outside of town and five men with {three-oh-eight}.308 rifles crouched behind sand bags. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic093 And these bodies, these people out in the sand, they aren't raiders. Aren't even heavily armed. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic093 They're just people who were trying to get to the only well in fifty miles. I didn't have to talk to the men to see that they did not care one bit. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic094 They had planted an NCR flag over the well and they would not budge until every last one of them was laid out, dead and cold. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic094 So I walked up and told them there was a group of raiders coming, one hundred strong. {laughing a bit}I made up some cockamamie name for them and everything. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic094 The men looked at each other, looked at us, and asked me what we were going to do about it. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic095 I told him we would take them back into NCR territory because we had already lost ten rangers on the way out. Ten rangers, five men with .308 rifles. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic095 Well, that was enough for them. They packed up what they could and we took them back north. Last I heard, they settled somewhere in {ahn-zah}Anza-{boh-reh-goh}Borrego. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic095 Raised Bighorners. Had some tough times, but it worked out okay for them. So there you go. That's my one bit of good. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic096 Joshua Graham, Caesar's old legate, he's wasn't so flexible. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic096 When the Legion attacked Hoover Dam, General Oliver ordered his troopers back to the middle ground just after first contact. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic096 Graham pushed all of the legionaries onto the dam, filling the east side with recruits up front and veterans in the back, by the book. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic097 But once they were in, they were stuck there. Oliver's troopers were entrenched and wouldn't give a foot. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic097 That's when we ordered the rangers and 1st recon sharpshooters to start picking off veteran legion officers from a high ridge west of the dam. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic097 That only lasted about a minute before Graham ordered the back ranks to push through to the front and rush the ridge. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic098 Caused total chaos among the younger legionaries, and Oliver's troopers fell back to the side walkways and stayed out of the veterans' way. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic098 By the time the veterans got to the ridge, we were already in Boulder City. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic098 They followed us down there, but we were out before they realized what was happening. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic099 We had packed the old city with C4 and dynamite. Crude, but it did the job. Those who didn't die in the blast were in no position to mount a defense. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic099 The ones left on the dam didn't know what to do. The troopers routed them. Graham pulled the remaining legionaries back, but the battle was over. VCampGolfHanlon2CHanlonTopic099 He went south, back to the Grand Canyon, back to Caesar. And that was the last we saw or heard from Joshua Graham. VCampGolfHanlonRepBranch You must be the courier folks have been talking about. Word on the radio is that someone wronged you back in Goodsprings. VCampGolfHanlonRepBranch The Mojave has a way of burning decent people up, but it sounds like you've done right by the NCR. It's appreciated. Now what can I do for you? VCampGolfHanlonRepBranch I know a bit about you, courier. Heard someone messed you up pretty bad over in Goodsprings. I heard a few other things too. Some good, but not all. VCampGolfHanlonRepBranch If you're going to be associating with rangers, you'd best stay on their friendly side. With that out of the way, what can I do for you? VCampGolfHanlonRepBranch I'm surprised to see you here. Folks with your kind of reputation, I expect to see them cooking in the sand with some {forty four}.44 slugs to keep them company. VCampGolfHanlonRepBranch If the rangers haven't caught up to you yet, they will. Myself excluded, of course. {joking}The only thing I catch up on now is chair time. VCampGolfHanlonRepBranch I don't think we've had the pleasure of meeting before. What can I do for you? VCasaMarcoAboutMaude Old Maude... Sometimes you can afford the creamy veal of a Sweetie, and sometimes you got just enough caps to buy a tough piece of jerky. {Ha!} VCasaSarahAboutWhores {Non-Dummy}Three flavors to choose from - Sweetie, Maude, and Jimmy. Sweetie's the house favorite, for reasons that should be obvious. VCasaSarahAboutWhores Maude is what you might call the discount rack. She's what a customer wears if he doesn't have the caps to afford Sweetie - or just likes them old. VCasaSarahAboutWhores Jimmy's more of a specialist." I only hear good things." VCasaSarahAboutWhores {Dummy}{realizing the player is not very smart}All right, then. Looks like I need to talk slow and use small words. There's Sweetie, Maude, and Jimmy. VCasaSarahAboutWhores Fewer than I used to. Go see for yourself. VCasaSarahChill Just needed to make the situation clear is all. How can I help you? VCasaSarahDSJKillAgree So long as we understand each other. VCasaSarahDSJKillExplain {tentative}I'll take a look, just to see what sort of shit they were into. VCasaSarahDSJKillExplain {mounting fury}What?... Those bastards! Selling folks off to the Fiends? Selling children - to Cook-Cook...? VCasaSarahDSJKillExplain I've seen enough. You did everyone a service. Take these. Might help if you get a jam. VCasaSarahDSJKillShrugOff That's right, we will. Anything I can help you with? VCasaSarahNotWhore Then there's no problem here - and no need to get nasty. How can I help you? VCasaStJamesAboutStJames {saying the minimum, guarded}Me and Dermot work salvage around New Vegas. VCasaStJamesCoyotes {irritated}I don't know a thing about no missing refugees from that Aerotech camp. Go cry to somebody else. VCasaStJamesLedger You got his book? {shouting for Dermot as you attack player}Dermot, this bastard got your book! He got your book! VCasaStJamesLedger You got his book? Dermot, this {shouting for Dermot as you attack player}bitch got your book! She got your book! VCasaStJamesTeddyBear {unstable, bungling your lies}What you doing stealing my stuff? That ain't even mine. I mean it's mine, but it's private. Give it back! VCasaStJamesTeddyBear Hell, don't give it back! I don't care. {coming up with a good lie}Just found it when we was working salvage and thought I'd save it to give to some kid if one came by. vCasinoCompsTheTopsvFloorManagerTheTopsTopic000 Let's be straight, baby: there's lucky and there's *too* lucky. You keep up like this and you're gonna break the bank. vCasinoCompsTheTopsvFloorManagerTheTopsTopic000 Now, we're happy to have you come on in and spend some dough at the bar, take in a show, whatever - but you're cut off from the games. vCasinoCompsTheTopsvFloorManagerTheTopsTopic001 Smart move, kid. We're happy to have you come on in and spend some dough at the bar, take in a show, whatever - but you're cut off from the games. vCasinoCompsTheTopsvFloorManagerTheTopsTopic002 Fine, then, you want to play rough?

VCasinoCompsUltraLuxeVMS18WhiteGloveFloorManagerTopic000 For a while, you were the toast of the Ultra-Luxe, but you're simply not en vogue any longer. Your act has gotten stale. VCasinoCompsUltraLuxeVMS18WhiteGloveFloorManagerTopic002 You're still welcome to dine with us, of course. We've just had quite enough of paying you to play our games. VCassFreesideSass01 {To a bad come-on}Stake a claim somewhere else, pretty boy. VCassFreesideSass02 {To a bad come-on}Looking for target practice, you keep talking. VCassFreesideSass02 {To a bad come-on}Wanted to be with someone who knew how to please a woman, that's what. VCassFreesideSass03 {To a bad come-on}No, and ain't looking to be a babysitter, neither. VCassFreesideSass04 {To a bad come-on, Under her breath}Somebody's asking for a boot in their fusebox. VCassFreesideSass04 | Wild Wasteland |{To a bad come-on, Dismissive}Ain't nothing but a hound dog. VCassFreesideSass05 {To a bad come-on}I'm not the {emph}man you need, pretty boy. VCassFreesideSass05 {To a bad come-on}Show me one, and I'll do him proud. VCassFreesideSass06 {To a bad come-on}Got enough on my shoulders without adding more dead weight to 'em. VCassFreesideSass07 {To a bad come-on}A drink wouldn't make you any prettier, slick. VCassFreesideSass07 {To a bad come-on}As long as you leave right after you put your caps down, you're on. VCassFreesideSassGeneral {To a bad come-on}Looking for love or to put me to sleep, kid? VCassFreesideSassGeneral {To a bad come-on}If you're looking for action, grab some grease from your hair and give your gun a few pulls. VCassFreesideSassGeneral {To a bad come-on}Not interested in any weapon that shoots blanks. VCassFreesideSassGeneral {To a bad come-on}Not for all the whiskey in Reno. VCassFreesideSassGeneral {To a bad come-on}Barking up the wrong bar stool, kid. VCassFreesideSassGeneral {To a bad come-on}If you're looking for action, jam your dick in a locker and slam it a few times. VCassJBCAttack {Attacked out of the blue}What the hell is this shit? VCassJBCPostAttack {Calming down, just avoided a surprise attack}What the hell was that all about? VCassLocationBitterSprings Heard NCR recon fucked up here once, with the Khans. VCassLocationBitterSprings Heard NCR drove the Khans out of here, to Red Rock. VCassLocationBitterSprings Place stinks of sand, piss, and vomit. VCassLocationBitterSprings Refugees. VCassLocationBitterSprings Watch out - easy to get sick around here. VCassLocationBlackMt Crazy ass radio signals around here, couldn't make sense of them. VCassLocationBlackMt Place sets geiger counters ticking. VCassLocationBlackMt No idea why the highest point in the Mojave is so rad-lit. VCassLocationBoulderCity Should hit the Big Horn saloon here. VCassLocationBoulderCity Heard there's still mines in the city - and maybe drunk NCR soldiers spoiling for a fight. VCassLocationBoulderCity {To herself}Rubble city, more like it. VCassLocationBoulderCity There's a bar in the intact section, careful if you go wandering around the ruined section. VCassLocationCampGolf Not much reason to ship water here, but liquor... hard to meet demand. VCassLocationCampGolf If NCR didn't grate me so, I'd come here for water resupply. VCassLocationCampGolf Used to ship a lot of liquor here, soldiers here have too much free time. VCassLocationCampGolf If there's a reason to attack NCR, Camp Golf's a reason. VCassLocationCampGolf Watch out for the Misfits here - 9th Platoon, word of their fuck-ups is legendary. VCassLocationCampGolf Golf was a president, I think. Maybe for NCR. VCassLocationCampGolf Heard this used to be a mine field from some of the troopers here. VCassLocationCampGolf Each spot for a land mine is numbered, hear tell. VCassLocationCampGolf {Under her breath}If you're looking for NCR's spine, ain't going to find it here. VCassLocationCampGolf Well, Hanlon sure let this place go to shit. VCassLocationCampGolf Lot of sites to this guy Golf all over the West. VCassLocationCampGuardian Just goes to show you, no matter where you go, there's NCR trying to hold onto every corner of the world. VCassLocationCampGuardian Guess they chose this spot to spy on Caesar. VCassLocationCampGuardian Poor bastards. VCassLocationCampGuardian Guess NCR's fish food. VCassLocationCampGuardian Nice sign. VCassLocationCottonwood {To herself}Should kill all these slavers. VCassLocationCottonwood {To herself}Damn slavers. VCassLocationCottonwood Those dogs look like they could savage a Securitron. VCassLocationCottonwood We go across that launch, we may not come back. VCassLocationCottonwood This is the only place to cross the Colorado safely. VCassLocationCottonwood I hope we're not planning to cross the river. VCassLocationCottonwood Only merchants, slaves and Legion come here. VCassLocationFiends Shit. Fiends. VCassLocationFiends Smells like Fiends. VCassLocationFiends Can smell the chem labs and Jet from here. VCassLocationFiends Make sure you have a backup weapon, Fiends don't go down easy. VCassLocationFiends Watch for dogs. VCassLocationFiends Heard tell there was a Vault somewhere around here. VCassLocationForlornHope Another proud NCR camp. VCassLocationForlornHope Probably chose this place because of the water supply. VCassLocationForlornHope Morale looks low. VCassLocationForlornHope I smell Hydra in the air, just a whiff. VCassLocationFort Be damn careful here. VCassLocationFort Don't like the way the men are looking at me. VCassLocationFort {Muttering}Keep your eyes to yourself, Legion asshole. VCassLocationFort Can't believe you want to talk to this guy. VCassLocationFort {Sarcastic, looking at crucifix}Love how he's decorated the place. VCassLocationFort Women might as well be dirt... not anxious to join them. VCassLocationFort Wish these women would take knives to Caesar's troops in their beds. VCassLocationFort2 Can't belive we're fucking back here. VCassLocationFort2 Testing our luck coming back here. VCassLocationFort2 You sure you know what you're doing? VCassLocationFort2 They try and put one of those Brahmin packs on me, they're asking for a gelding. Going to get gelded. VCassLocationFort2 Can't say I've seen a smile on anyone's face since we arrived. VCassLocationFort2 Hope NCR wipes Caesar off the map. VCassLocationFort2 Guess the tent belongs to the big man. VCassLocationFort2 Not much future in the Legion if you don't have a dick. VCassLocationFort2 I'm heading back West if Caesar moves on the Dam. VCassLocationFort2 Not looking forward to being a Legion wife. VCassLocationFreeside Hometown of the Van Graffs, don't care for this place too much. VCassLocationFreeside We shouldn't be in here. VCassLocationFreeside Water's scarce, but between things like this and Lake Mead, ain't too bad in the West as in other places. VCassLocationFreeside Watch out for the Kings, they're unpredictable. VCassLocationFreeside {Slight contempt}Kings dress like strutting girls, all fancy like. VCassLocationFreeside Once had a King following me like I was following you - had to chase him off with a shotgun finally. VCassLocationFreeside Kings told me I couldn't deal water here, fuckers. They like having mono. As in monopoly. VCassLocationFreeside Ralph might be able to forge a pass into the Strip for you, you need one. VCassLocationFreeside Looking for weapons, check out Mick and Ralphs... Mick's probably a sight better than Ralph, always trying to talk me out of my pants. VCassLocationFreeside Kings are led by the King. Has some kind of robot dog. Guess it hunts robot rats. VCassLocationFreeside Kings hold control over the water pump 'round here. VCassLocationGeneralIdle Sure could use a drink. VCassLocationGeneralIdle All this traveling's making me thirsty. VCassLocationGeneralIdle Careful if we go off the road. VCassLocationGeneralIdle Don't mind trailblazing as long as we got the ammo. And whiskey. VCassLocationGeneralIdle Feels good not to have to drag a Brahmin train across the Mojave. VCassLocationGeneralIdle Glad I left the Outpost behind. VCassLocationGeneralIdle Caravan of two now. VCassLocationGoodsprings {Curious, walked into town}Looking to step on your own grave? VCassLocationGoodsprings {Curious, walked into town}Not every day you come back to your gravesite. VCassLocationGoodsprings {Curious, walked into town}Heard the Doc here is a good guy. VCassLocationGoodsprings {Curious, walked into town}Crimson Caravan had some trouble here. VCassLocationGoodsprings {Curious, walked into town, That..."}Hill where you got shot?" VCassLocationHiddenValley What's that hum? VCassLocationHiddenValley Watch for scorpions. VCassLocationHiddenValley Doesn't fell like the rest of the Mojave here. VCassLocationHiddenValley Storms pick up quick around here. VCassLocationHooverDam Check out those guns - rumor had it they used to shoot planes down before the war. VCassLocationHooverDam {To herself}Place looks like how my bladder feels. VCassLocationHooverDam Place always wants me to take a piss. VCassLocationHooverDam Ever look down the Dam? Sends your head spinning. VCassLocationJacobstown {Shivers}Place is fucking cold. VCassLocationJacobstown Pine trees? VCassLocationJacobstown {Frowns}Can't believe we're in a refuge for crazy super mutants. VCassLocationJacobstown Wish I'd packed a jacket. VCassLocationJacobstown Only seen snow, not walked through it. Crazy - frozen water? Should package this shit. VCassLocationJacobstown Heard they could make ice" in the Old World and carry it around." VCassLocationJacobstown {Skeptical}Dad used to say that in the Old World, people would put boards on their feet and soar down the mountains. VCassLocationMojaveOutpost {Slight irritation}Back here again? VCassLocationMojaveOutpost {Slight sarcasm}What, didn't see enough of the sites here the first time? VCassLocationMojaveOutpost Once here, most just stall out, can't go deeper into territory. VCassLocationMojaveOutpost Fucking monument. VCassLocationMojaveOutpost From here, it's Nipton to the east or Primm to the north. VCassLocationMojaveOutpost And here's the slice of the world where NCR's hands start slipping. VCassLocationNCR Be careful they don't charge us any tolls. VCassLocationNCR Don't tell them where we're from - or headed. VCassLocationNCRCF Looks like prisoners are in charge now. VCassLocationNCRCF No guards in the towers, not a good sign. VCassLocationNCRCF Guess NCR fucked this place, too. VCassLocationNellis Folks here have access to Lake Mead, fresh drinking water. VCassLocationNellis Careful, Boomer territory. They ain't hostile, but they're a bit trigger happy. VCassLocationNellis Boomers are a might twitchy. VCassLocationNellis Folks here aren't friendly to anyone. VCassLocationNellis Don't be shooting wild in here - might set something off. VCassLocationNellis First time I seen a fence made out of artillery. VCassLocationNellis Some of these weapons look like they came from Hawthorne Army Depot, place has a lot of history. VCassLocationNellis Can hear the screaming of rockets and explosions in this place at night. VCassLocationNellis Got nests for planes here. VCassLocationNellis An assault on this place would be suicide. VCassLocationNelson {somber}Guess the miners got fucked. VCassLocationNelson Where's the mine from here? VCassLocationNelson {Wary, somber}If this place got hit, Novac's next. VCassLocationNipton I think I'm going to be sick. VCassLocationNipton Nipton wasn't the best towns, but... VCassLocationNipton Mayor Steyn got what was coming to him, looks like. VCassLocationNipton Mayor here used to shelter gangers, hear tell. Guess it didn't save him. VCassLocationNipton {Confused, horrified}Should we cut the people down... VCassLocationNipton Who the hell was that? VCassLocationNipton I... hope they don't hit the Mojave Outpost. VCassLocationNovac This place reminds me the Old World had too much time on its hands. VCassLocationNovac Named this place after the hotel. VCassLocationNovac NoVac's the hotel, not the lizard. VCassLocationNovac Smells like junk. VCassLocationNovac Can see Dinky for miles, good landmark. VCassLocationNovac First saw this place, thought the giant gecko was real. VCassLocationNovac Read a book that giant lizards walked the earth like this one - might be a gecko this size. VCassLocationPrimm Said there's a courier office here? VCassLocationPrimm Sign of the buffalo. VCassLocationPrimm Ah, Bison Steve, you old shithole. VCassLocationPrimm Those post office boxes in these old towns still work. VCassLocationPrimm Good contact, Nash, used to be here. Had a son that went West. VCassLocationPrimm Old World had cars that ran on roads like these above the ground, 'cept they didn't go anywhere. VCassLocationPrimm The sheriff here ain't worth a damn. VCassLocationPrimm Crazy ass shit. VCassLocationQuarryJunction Smells like deathclaw. VCassLocationQuarryJunction Looks like this place got wrecked. VCassLocationQuarryJunction Looks like this place go mined - in the wrong ways. VCassLocationRangerStation Rest stop. VCassLocationRangerStation NCR's friendly, might be able to resupply. VCassLocationRangerStation A little safe ground. VCassLocationRangerStation NCR flag - not safe, close to it, though. VCassLocationRedRock These boys and girls can really down the bottles. VCassLocationRedRock Whiskey and liquor don't last long around here, by the sight of it. VCassLocationRedRock Wonder if any of these folks would be up for shots of courage - and a wager. VCassLocationRedRock Be *really* careful what you say here. VCassLocationRedRock Should have heard stories of the Khans years ago - they were one tough bunch, now... VCassLocationRedRock Khans lost their strength after Bitter Springs, came here to lick their wounds. VCassLocationRedRock Let's not split up here, all right? VCassLocationRedRock Don't take any chems here - hell knows what they're laced with. VCassLocationRedRock Won't trade with Khans - they've poisoned most of the villages west of Vegas with chems. VCassLocationRedRock Fiends would suffer withdrawal and die without the Khans. VCassLocationRedRock Place would be beautiful... without the chem addicts and dealers. VCassLocationRedRock |Annihilation| {To herself}Guess someone had to put them down. VCassLocationRedRock Have a Vegas-style boxing ring in the center there. VCassLocationRedRock Really wish we could go to some civilized places. VCassLocationRedRock Even the flies here are chemed. VCassLocationRedRock God, you can smell the Brahmin shit from the jet all over this place. VCassLocationStreet The Street" - Vegas Boulevard." VCassLocationStreet Fancy town... let's hit some bars. VCassLocationStreet Don't draw any guns and start shooting here - I heard the robots settle that trouble quick. VCassLocationStreet 3 casinos here - Ultra-Luxe, Gomorrah, and the Tops. {Beat, afterthought}and, the Lucky 38. VCassLocationStreet Heard Crocker's running the Embassy - guy's funny, and not in a hee-haw way. More like a see-saw with his politics. VCassLocationStreet Captain Pappas keeps the law here. Watch out for her, she's no Crocker. VCassLocationStrip Chairmen, Omertas... a whole bunch of families rule Vegas, don't step out a line as long as money's to be made. VCassLocationStrip Welcome to sin. Watch where you step. VCassLocationStrip Watch for NCR vomit. VCassLocationStrip Hope you're not here to chase your losses. VCassLocationStrip Now to find a bar. VCassLocationStrip Don't understand how the missiles could have missed a target like this. VCassLocationStrip Beats Freeside. VCassLocationStrip Can't believe we got in here. VCassLocationStrip Dad used to say this place was what Reno tried to be. {Beat}Fucking Reno. VCassLocationStrip Place feels like the Sorcerer of Oz sometimes. VCassLocationStrip Heard stories about the Lucky 38, how nobody's ever gone inside - 'cept you, that is. VCassReactBad {Commenting on player's behavior}Think that was a mistake. VCassReactBad {Commenting on player's behavior}No call for that. VCassReactBad {To herself, commenting on player's behavior}Could have handled that better. VCassReactLike {Commenting on player's behavior}What I would have done. VCassReactLike {Commenting on player's behavior}You handled that well. VCassReactLike {Commenting on player's behavior}Good job. VCassReactReallyBad {Commenting on player's behavior}That was fucked up. VCassReactReallyBad {Commenting on player's behavior}Can't believe you did that. VCassReactReallyBad {Commenting on player's behavior, to herself, neg}Just when I think I'd seen it all. VCassReactReallyBad {Commenting on player's behavior, to herself}That was lower than low. VCassReactReallyLike {Commenting on player's behavior}Set an example, others will follow. VCassReactReallyLike {Commenting on player's behavior}Proud of you. VCassReactReallyLike {Commenting on player's behavior}Color me impressed. VCassWhiskeyRosePerk That hit the spot. VCassWhiskeyRosePerk {Shot of whiskey}All right, now for some ass-kicking. VCassWhiskeyRosePerk {Shot of whiskey}Pass the bottle. VCassWhiskeyRosePerk {Shot of whiskey}Now all I need is some shame to wash it down with. VCassWhiskeyRosePerk {Shot of whiskey}Bottoms up. VCassWhiskeyRosePerk {Shot of whiskey}Oh, now, there goes the pain. VCG00OpeningSequence Is that thing silver? VCG00OpeningSequence You're not getting paid to run your mouth.

VCG01DocMitchellTopic072 Well, that's all she wrote. VCG01DocMitchellTopic072 I don't have nothing to compare it to, so maybe you'd better just have a look at the results. See if it all seems right to you. VCG01DocMitchellTopic072 Very interesting. Maybe a little disturbing, but interesting. VCG01DocMitchellTopic072 I don't have nothing to compare it to, so maybe you'd better just have a look at the results. See if it all seems right to you. VCG01DocMitchellTopic073 Well, that's all she wrote. VCG01DocMitchellTopic073 I don't have nothing to compare it to, so maybe you'd better just have a look at the results.

VCG01DocMitchellTopic075 Well, that's all she wrote. VCG01DocMitchellTopic075 I don't have nothing to compare it to, so maybe you'd better just have a look at the results. See if it all seems right to you. VCG01DocMitchellTopic076 Well, if you're heading back out there, you ought to have this. VCG01DocMitchellTopic076 They call it a Pip-Boy. I grew up in one of them vaults they made before the war. We all got one. VCG01DocMitchellTopic076 Ain't much use to me now, but you might want such a thing, after what you been through. I know what it's like, having something taken from you. VCG01DocMitchellTopic076 And put this on, too, so the locals don't pick on you for lacking modesty. Was my wife's. VCG01DocMitchellTopic076 I think she was about your size, and she hardly wore it after we left the vault. Felt it was too brazen. VCG01DocMitchellTopic076 And put this on, too, so the locals don't pick on you for lacking modesty. Never was much my style anyway. VCG01DocMitchellTopic076 You should talk to Sunny Smiles before you leave town. She can help you learn to fend for yourself in the desert. She'll likely be at the saloon. VCG01DocMitchellTopic076 I reckon some of the other folks at the saloon might be able to help you out, too. And the metal fella, Victor, who pulled you outta your grave. VCG01DocMitchellTopic076 Anyway, you ever get hurt out there, you come right back. I'll fix you up. VCG01DocMitchellTopic076 But try not to get killed anymore. VCG01DocMitchellTopic076 Oh, before I forget, one of the townsfolk dropped this off. Said they found it near where Victor found you, and guessed it might be yours. VCG01DocMitchellTopic076 Oh, before I forget, one of the townsfolk dropped these off. Said they found them near where Victor found you, and guessed they might be yours. VCG01DocMitchellTopic083 Don't mention it. It's what I'm here for. VCG01DocMitchellTopic084 Didn't have much choice, I'm afraid. But I understand the sentiment. VCG01DocPsychIntro Well, we know your vitals are good. VCG01DocPsychIntro But that don't mean them bullets didn't leave you nuttier than a Bighorner dropping. VCG01DocPsychIntro What do you say you take a seat on my couch and we go through a couple questions? See if your dogs are still barking. VCG01DocReactions Sorry, son. I fixed up your head as best I knew how. I guess I missed a spot. VCG01DocReactions Sorry, little lady. I fixed up your head as best I knew how. Guess I missed a spot. VCG01DocReactions Look at that. Maybe them bullets done your brain some good. VCG01DocReactions Now that don't make a lick of sense. Seems to me you're the luckiest son-of-a-gun in New Vegas. VCG01DocReactions With luck like yours I'm surprised them bullets didn't just turn right around and climb back into the gun. VCG01DocReactions That's some serious atrophy, even for someone who's been in bed awhile. It's a wonder you can move at all. VCG01DocReactions Surprised anybody'd want to tangle with you. Heck, you could go Deathclaw hunting with a switch. VCG01DocReactions I just don't get it. A stiff breeze'd tear you in two but a couple of bullets and you're right as rain. VCG01DocReactions I guess that explains how you're still alive. You're built solid as an oak. VCG01DocReactions Huh. Must be some frontal lobe damage. VCG01DocReactions Good to see them bullets didn't affect your charm none. VCG01DocReactions Now I ain't no optometrist, but maybe we should fit you for some glasses while you're here. VCG01DocReactions Nothing gets by you, huh? Coulda used you when I lost my keys last month. VCG01DocReactions Don't have all your coordination back yet, looks like. You should think about doing some rehab. VCG01DocReactions Most patients don't get out of bed after being shot and then move like they was in perfect control. You're unusual, I'll say that. VCG01DocReactions Yep, that's a pretty standard score there. But after what you been through, I'd say that's great news. VCG01DocTraitIntro Before I turn you loose, I need one more thing from you. VCG01DocTraitIntro I got a form for you to fill out, so I can get a sense of your medical history. VCG01DocTraitIntro Just a formality. Ain't like I expect to find you got a family history of getting shot in the head. VCG01Intro You're awake. How about that. VCG01Intro Whoa, easy there. Easy. You been out cold a couple of days now. VCG01Intro Why don't you just relax a second? Get your bearings. VCG01Intro Let's see what the damage is. How about your name? Can you tell me your name? VCG01Intro Huh. Can't say it's what I'd have picked for you. But if that's your name, that's your name. VCG01Intro I'm Doc Mitchell. Welcome to Goodsprings. VCG01Intro Now, I hope you don't mind, but I had to go rooting around there in your noggin to pull all the bits of lead out. VCG01Intro I take pride in my needlework, but you'd better tell me if I left anything out of place. VCG01Intro How'd I do? VCG01Intro Well, I got most of it right, anyway. Stuff that mattered. VCG01Intro Okay. No sense keeping you in bed anymore. Let's see if we can get you on your feet. VCG01Intro Good. Why don't you walk down to the end of the room? Over by that vigor tester machine there. VCG01Intro Take it slow now. It ain't a race. VCG01Intro Looking good so far. Go ahead and give the vigor tester a try. We'll learn right quick if you got back all your faculties. VCG01Intro Let's go into the next room. I've got a few more tests I'd like to run. VCG02GSSunnySmilesTopic000 Follow me. It's just down to the southeast a short ways. VCG02GSSunnySmilesTopic001 Suit yourself. Hope this helped you some. VCG02GSSunnySmilesTopic002 Shouldn't take more than a couple minutes. Especially with two of us. VCG02GSSunnySmilesTopic002 Come with me. VCG02GSSunnySmilesTopic003 I don't blame you. They're good eating, but that's about it. VCG02GSSunnySmilesTopic004 Yep, I'd say you're getting a little trigger happy there. Try to slow down a bit. Concentrate on hitting your target. VCG02GSSunnySmilesTopic004 Here. Go easy on it, now. Ammo can be hard to come by out here. VCG02GSSunnySmilesTopic005 Well let's just finish this first, all right? Then we can talk. Preferably somewhere where I can get a stiff drink and Cheyenne can keep cool. VCG02GSSunnySmilesTopic005 Well let's just finish this first, all right? Then we can talk. VCG02GSSunnySmilesTopic005 Fire away. VCG02GSSunnySmilesTopic006 All right, then. We'll need a couple ingredients to get started. Gonna want some Xander Root and a Broc Flower. VCG02GSSunnySmilesTopic006 Lemme think now... I know I've seen Broc Flowers growing up at the graveyard. And I seem to remember there being Xander Root over by the schoolhouse. VCG02GSSunnySmilesTopic006 Bring those on back to me, and we'll get cooking. VCG02GSSunnySmilesTopic007 Okay, say no more. VCG02GSSunnySmilesTopic009 {Sadly - her dog died}Okay. Well... good luck to you. I'm heading back to the Prospector. I could use a drink about now. VCG02LastObjective Hey, do me a favor. Trudy - she's the bartender up at the Prospector, kind of the town mom - she likes to meet newcomers. VCG02LastObjective She'd be cross with me if I didn't ask you to poke your head in and say hi. VCG02QuestTransition One more thing I wanted to show you. VCG02QuestTransition Thought I might teach you about living off the land, and making useful things for yourself. Interested? VCG02SettlerBark Help! VCG02SettlerBark There's too many! VCG02SettlerBark Get 'em off! VCG02SunnyBark Now, see those sarsaparilla bottles on that fence there? Take this and try to hit a couple of 'em. VCG02SunnyBark Okay, you're on. Go give 'em hell. VCG02SunnyShotReaction That's the right idea. Look down the sight. VCG02SunnyShotReaction Try crouching down and staying still. It'll help your aim. VCG02SunnyShotReaction Nice shot. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic001 {disciplined}My orders are to hold Nelson. So far the enemy north of here has been too frightened to move against us. Why should it concern you? VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic002 Not all of us have the luxury of coming and going as we please. Here, we stay put. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic003 {irked}What stalemate? It is Caesar's will that I hold this position - that I {emph}not advance. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic003 {challenging}If you're so eager to see Camp Forlorn Hope fall, why don't you go attack it all by yourself? Well? VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic004 You have license to go where you please, at my will. {dismissed}True to Caesar. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic005 I {stress}have attacked the enemy. I led the assault on Nelson with two contubernia against twice our number. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic005 It is Caesar's wish that we {emph}hold this position. Our mere presence this side of the Colorado humiliates and demoralizes the enemy. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic007 I do not question Caesar's will! I do not second-guess! VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic007 I butchered this town. Those who weren't hacked limb from limb were forced to throw themselves from the cliffs. Three more, I have just crucified. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic007 All this, in full view of the enemy's spotters to the north. Yes, our presence here demoralizes the enemy. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic014 {doubting the player will attack the enemy, and if so, that he will survive}That remains to be seen. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic015 You are not my Centurion! You aren't even Legion! I do not carry on" at your command." VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic015 {with contempt - goodbye"}True to Caesar." VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic015 Even if you {emph.}are Legion, you are not my Centurion! I do not carry on" at your command." VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic015 {with contempt - goodbye"}True to Caesar." VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic016 True to Caesar. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic017 True to Caesar. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic018 A vow without action is breath across the lips, nothing more. True to Caesar. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic020 A glorious victory. You must be very {gritting your teeth}satisfied. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic020 I'll send word of your achievement. Perhaps {kai-zar}Caesar will see fit to send another contubernium to occupy the Camp. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic020 Here - take this, my blade. It was a gift from my Centurion upon the defeat of the Sun Dog tribe. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic023 Then there's nothing for us to talk about. {dismissed}True to Caesar. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic025 {What's done is done}True to {KAI-zar}Caesar. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic026 That blade has split the heads of... {collecting yourself}The only reason I give it to you is to force myself to earn another. True to Caesar. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic027 You don't understand. I'll have to distinguish myself in battle to earn another. {irritated}True to Caesar. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic028 I am a loyal servant of Caesar, and I thank my good fortune for the day that he plucked me as a babe from the shore of the Great Salt Lake. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic028 For five years I have had the privilege of serving as a Decanus. If fortune continues to smile upon me, I will serve him until I draw my last breath. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic028 I hope that satisfies your curiosity about me, because I won't waste any more of Caesar's time talking about myself. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic029 I'll execute Caesar's will by hurling your corpse into the Colorado - like the other Profligates before you! VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic030 I am Dead Sea, Decanus of the Legion by the grace of Caesar, not that {emph}you're in any position to ask questions. VDeadSeaLegionaryDeadSeaTopic031 {menacing}True to Caesar. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic000 Oh, you know. Finding alternative treatments for common illnesses and injuries. Stimpaks out of barrel cacti and other fantastic improbabilities. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic000 As far as fruitless wastes of time go, it's quite noble in its aims. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic001 Not all Followers are people persons." Besides VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic001 Out of sight, out of mind. There are worse things one can be, though I do admit, it is a bit boring. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic001 Though it has a noble goal, I don't think this research will yield much fruit. No pun intended. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic001 Like I said before, not all Followers are good with people. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic001 I'm fine doing research back here, even if it is a bit boring... and pointless... and a complete waste of time. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic001 Don't mind me. I'm just voicing my thoughts so they don't burrow out of my skull in a fit of abject despondency. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic002 I'm enthusiastic about helping people, but {nih-hill noh-wee soob soh-lay}nihil novi sub sole. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic003 For the past hundred years or so, the Followers have managed to get by using salvaged medical supplies from the Old World. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic003 But the side effect of medical success is that more people live longer. Funny how that works. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic003 Eventually, we'll run out of hospitals to loot. We need new ways to produce those supplies. Or maybe old ways, if this research goes anywhere. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic004 Cuts, lacerations, broken bones. Infections resulting from all of the above. Common cold, influenza. Take your pick. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic004 There are plenty of ways to die out here, and most of them, surprisingly, don't have anything to do with war. Just common human fragility. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic005 {�Yeah, well...�}{SEE-zar}Caesar can cite {KAY-toe}Cato to suit his purpose. Many people have spoken Latin. Some of them were quite pleasant. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic005 It's unfortunate that the language is now associated with the gentlemen across the river. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic006 Oh. {sincere}Sorry. There is nothing new under the sun."" VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic006 If agave and mesquite were that miraculous, the locals would have figured it out a few thousand years ago. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic007 Not from the Legion, if that's what you're getting at. Books. Sheet music. Gladiator movie holotapes. Bits and pieces here and there. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic007 The Followers have extensive libraries, but we all draw water from the same old well. Even Caesar. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic008 {sighs}I don't know anything that the others couldn't tell you. Caesar was one of the Followers. Before my time, of course. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic008 He wanted to rebuild the new world in the image of the old. A sad story of good intentions gone bad. In that regard, he's hardly unique. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic008 If you set aside his leadership capabilities, extensive knowledge, and ruthless cunning, he's just another jerk who steps on people to get his way. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic009 I can't leave now. Caesar has gained too much ground. I need to be here in case the NCR fails to hold Hoover Dam. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic009 No offense intended, but why should I go anywhere with you? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic010 {off-hand, not realizing he's revealing something bad}Energy weapons? Of course not. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic010 {catching himself, trying to cover}I mean... but, we study all sorts of science and technology so, you know, we... you just kind of get familiar with them. Yeah. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic011 Oh, uh... {trying to cover}of hearing stories. About energy weapons. {drifting off}They're... pretty crazy. {quietly}Yeah. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic012 Did I say something? Sorry. Don't pay any attention to me. Just babbling. {becoming more quiet}Nonsense, really. {drifting off}Babbling nonsense. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic013 Very optimistic of you. You'll make a good Follower someday assuming Caesar doesn't have us both crucified. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic014 Short of canceling our imminent travel plans, that's the best thing you could have said. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic014 Just be careful. If we travel at Caesar's pleasure, he may not let us out as easily as he lets us in. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic015 {And you VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic015 {And you VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic015 I have to commend you on your sense of historical propriety, but have you given more than a passing thought to how we would escape? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic015 No disrespect intended, but you aren't the first person to dream up the idea. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic015 Just give me a sign when you're about to pull out the dagger so I know when to make a run for the cliffs. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic016 I can't say I understand your obsession, but for that I suppose I'd have to spend a night in your grave. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic016 Fine. I'll stick with you. Just remember this. If you want something from Caesar, sooner or later you'll have to give him his due. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic017 Pulling bullets out of a vengeance-crazed drifter is truly a noble step up from tending to the downtrodden of Freeside, but I think I'll pass. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic018 The NCR had a chance to use the Followers' skills before, but being imperialists mattered more to them. No thanks. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic019 That's funny. Mr. House doesn't want to keep New Vegas independent. He just wants to keep the NCR and Caesar's Legion from pushing him around. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic019 He must be pretty convincing if he's roped you into helping him, but you can count me out. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic020 If that's really what you're trying to do, I'll go with you. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic020 Things are hectic around here, but it won't mean anything if NCR or the Legion take control. I'm sure the Followers can manage without me. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic020 Just don't try to help the Legion, and we shouldn't have any problems. Sound good? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic021 Only because everyone would be conscripted or enslaved. And the people who are unfit for military service or slavery would be put down. Swell plan. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic021 Yes, a veritable {pahx roh-MAH-nah}Pax Romana for post-nuclear America. My political beliefs are a bit more progressive than outright fascism, so I'll pass. Thanks. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic022 Hmm. That seems appropriately resolute and yet vague. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and go with you, but let me be clear about something. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic022 If you plan to help Caesar's Legion, this is going to be a brief relationship. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic022 I may not have all the answers for how to fix Freeside's problems, but Caesar taking control isn't part of the solution. Fair? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic023 Hmm. Wow. You sound like you really do need some help. Look, I can help you out, but you can't do anything stu- VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic023 I mean, you can't... help bad people, who want to hurt the locals in Freeside. If you do, I'll leave. Does that make sense? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic025 Yes. The Followers do not like Caesar or Caesar's Legion. You should also not like them. If you do, you like hurting people and that is bad. Goodbye. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic026 {slight mockery}Uh... probably not. Until things settle down around here, alleviating my boredom isn't a good motive to leave. Sorry. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic027 All right. Let's not waste any time. {a bit of enthusiasm}There are people out there to help, things to learn. Maybe not in that order, but let's get to it. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic028 I'm not sure why you thought a Follower would want to help Caesar after all of the misery he's visited on us and the people we try to help. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic028 Well, good luck to you in your future endeavors, assuming they don't involve Caesar. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic031 Overt flirtation will get you everywhere, you know. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic031 On a slightly more serious note, if you're interested in helping out with the troubles plaguing Freeside, I can come with you. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic031 Just don't do anything obnoxious, like trying to help Caesar's Legion, and we should be fine. Understood? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic032 Plasma rifles. They were intended to replace the P94 plasma caster. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic032 There was some corporate espionage going on between Poseidon Energy's Project SEMELE and whatever was going on here. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic033 REPCONN went through some rough times. When their rocket business was shaky, Mr. House purchased the company. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic033 It didn't take long for him to repurpose their plasma technology for a government weapon contract. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic034 Another one of Poseidon Energy's many secret weapons projects. Before the Great War. It didn't go anywhere. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic034 That's how REPCONN got their shot. So to speak. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic035 Me, specifically? No. I'm sure Julie Farkas does, though. Lab coat, pointy hair. Answers to the name Julie Farkas VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic035 I'm sure she can find something for you to do. It might be kind of... depressing and terrible, though. {cah-WEE-aht sah-mahr-ee-TAH-noos, Samaritan VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic035 Personally, no. But thanks to you, Julie says we're a lot better off these days. I'll take her word for it. So, thanks. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic037 Hmm... I'm starting to remember hearing some rumors about you and this crazy guy called Caesar." Bad. Not a friend of the Followers." VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic037 Maybe they're not all true. That's enough for me to stand here and talk to you, but I'm not about to leave Freeside as your comrade-in-arms. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic037 You've helped the Followers, so you can't be entirely bad. To be honest, I haven't heard anyone say a negative word about you. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic037 As long as you keep working to help people around here get a fair shake, sure, I'll lend a hand. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic037 You helped the Followers, but your reputation isn't exactly spotless. How do I know you're not going to lose it out there? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic037 Here's my proposition. If you want to work together to help the people around here, I'll lend a hand. {on the other hand}If you start acting like a crazy waster... VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic038 See you around. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic039 Well {emph}I don't. I'm sure there were a few people turning a blind eye, but can you blame them? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic039 NCR's sharecropper farms had all of the water. The nearest fresh source is the lake, and that's a bit of a hike. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic040 I do say so. The Followers aren't a military organization. If anyone knew what he was up to, they weren't talking. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic040 And if they knew he was stealing water, so what? Westside has more of a right to that water than the NCR. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic041 Of course. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic042 {sighing, pause}Neither did Anderson. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic043 {irritated}I guess that means you don't have to apologize to all of the people in Westside you just screwed over. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic043 In case you weren't paying attention, you killed the only person who ever gave a damn about them. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic044 Fantastic. Now the only influential person who gave a damn about Westside is gone. Great job. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic044 In case I'm not laying down enough sarcasm, you just screwed up the lives of a bunch of struggling people. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic045 Huh. {trying to think of a plausible lie}Good question. Must have been in a book. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic046 Uh, what does anyone know about them? Big... flying machines, right? Crazy helicopters. {quietly}So weird. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic048 Look, the Followers have had enough of a role in the misery that this area has had to endure. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic048 If you want to go off half-cocked and leave a trail of corpses in your wake, that's your business. We'll do our best to clean up your mess. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic048 Just don't try to drag us into it personally, okay? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic050 Certainly. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic053 The last time we discussed this, you didn't exactly wow me with your pitch. What have you got for me this time? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic054 I'm really very boring. You'd get better stories out of a Freeside junkie. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic055 You're helping the Legion, a slaving army that will almost certainly kill and enslave the majority of people in New Vegas. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic055 What? Did you expect me to applaud your efforts to support a deranged warlord? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic055 Caesar is bad. You are bad for helping him. Please stop. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic055 I have to say I don't understand where you're going with Mr. House. The man's been manipulating the locals for as long as anyone can remember. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic055 If you help him kick the NCR and Legion out, he's going to keep right on doing it. The people in Freeside will be just as bad off as they ever were. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic055 If you can find a way to push Mr. House out of the picture as well, I think everyone will be better off. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic055 Helping the NCR is better than helping Mr. House, but I don't think it's the best solution for the people in New Vegas. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic055 If the NCR can take full control of Freeside and the Strip, it's going to get worse before it gets better. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic055 Besides, even if New Vegas eventually gets representation in the NCR senate, it's not like the NCR runs efficiently. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic055 I think you're on the right track. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic055 The only way to ensure relative safety and independence for the people of New Vegas is to prevent others from taking control of the region. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic055 That means no NCR, no Mr. House, and no Legion. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic055 It could be better. If we can find a way to work toward the independence of New Vegas, that would be ideal. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic055 But really, as long as you don't help out the Legion, anything's better than that. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic056 {sickened}That's one way to look at it. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic058 {joking}I thought my charm could win you over, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Are you sure you want me to go? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic058 All right, I'll head back to the Old Mormon Fort. If you need me, just swing by. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic058 Ugh. I guess that means I have to go back to that creepy mausoleum Mr. House calls the Lucky 38. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic058 I've been around a few unsettling places in my life, but that place takes the cake. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic058 Anyway, if you need me, you know where to find me. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic058 {sighing}Back to the tomb, I suppose. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic058 {drifting off}If you need me, et cetera. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic059 You have quite the menagerie at your disposal. If you can get the posse down to small gang" size VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic059 As the old saying goes, two's company, but three's a small army. Okay, I'm paraphrasing a bit, but you get the idea. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic059 A courier, a doctor, and cybernetic dog. After we deal with this whole imminent conquest of New Vegas" problem we should open an act at the Tops." VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic059 There's something about that robot that doesn't seem... all right to me. I'm not saying we shouldn't take it with us. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic059 I'm just saying that if it were to fall into Lake Mead and be irreparably damaged... and if you threw an EMP grenade in after it... VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic059 Well, there are worse things happening in the world, right? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic059 After spending thirty years of my life hiding my association with the Enclave, I'd {emph}love to stroll the wasteland with a twitchy Eyebot. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic059 Thanks for asking. I appreciate it. I do. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic059 Back in your good graces again? I knew you'd see the light. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic060 It just seems a little twitchy. Some of these robots, you look at them the wrong way, don't screw in a vacuum tube right... VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic060 The next thing you know you're a pile of ash on the floor and someone's stepping out of a vertibird to sweep your remains into a Nuka-Cola bottle. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic061 Fine, ignore me. Just don't ask me to re-attach your arm when your pet murder machine goes into search and destroy" mode." VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic062 It's... {sigh}a thing. A science thing. It hurts robots. Don't worry about it. Silly Arcade's just telling magnetic field jokes for his own amusement. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic062 {clears throat}Ahem. Shall we? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic063 Does it? {beat, quietly}Does it? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic064 Safety first. That's all I'm saying. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic065 Only to obfuscate my past association with a fascist paramilitary organization. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic065 I'm joking, of course. I will deflect personal questions at any opportunity. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic066 Honestly, it isn't too difficult if you have half a brain and aren't a complete jerk. I wanted to help people and I enjoyed learning, so I signed up. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic066 New Vegas is in trouble, so I came out here. If someone doesn't step up and try to help the people here, it's going to end very badly. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic067 The Followers taught me everything I know about medicine. Despite our humble abode here in New Vegas, we have great facilities back in the NCR. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic067 We may have over extended ourselves by setting up camp in Freeside, but the people here need help from someone. If not us, who? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic068 Don't mind if I do. Enjoy your reign as King Scumbag the First, Overlord of Westside. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic068 Don't mind if I do. Enjoy your reign as Queen Scumbag the First, Overlord of Westside. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic070 Any day now, Caesar's going to try to march across Hoover Dam and kick NCR out of the Mojave. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic070 We're getting caught up in something important out here. Hell, after how you handled Benny, you're practically right in the middle of all this. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic070 I know I'm just along for the ride, but it's made me think about the past, how I might be able to help out. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic071 {drawing the word out}Actually, I'm going to keep talking anyway. Sorry, but I really need to get this out. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic072 Kind of you to say, but there are better people than me around here. I just hope the Followers can make a difference in the long run. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic073 I wasn't always with the Followers, or with the NCR. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic073 My late father was an officer in a group called the Enclave, a remnant of America's Pre-War government. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic073 Memories being short around here, not a whole lot of people remember them. But they did bad things. Terrorized communities, kidnapped people. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic073 Eventually, someone stopped them. I was born a few years later at a military base on the coast, a place called Navarro. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic074 Are you sure? I didn't even get to the ostensibly good" part." VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic074 If you're sure, I won't bring it up again. We can just go on our merry way, fighting injustice in our typical fashion. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic076 Okay, I hear you. Forget I said anything. Consider it dropped. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic077 A lot of different places. I only know what I was told. Some of them were cut down by the NCR and the Brotherhood. Some of them went east. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic077 My mother never told me what happened to my father, but she and I went south with some others and integrated into the NCR. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic077 When the NCR learned that Enclave personnel had integrated, we kept moving to the fringes. It's one of the reasons why I wound up out here. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic078 After the Enclave's command structure fell apart, it was only a matter of time before Navarro was overrun by NCR forces. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic078 My mother and I left with some of the troopers from my father's old unit, the same people I've kept in contact with over the years. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic078 Anyone who didn't get out was killed by the NCR. Even some of the ones who escaped were eventually hunted down by the Brotherhood of Steel. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic079 The Enclave did a lot of bad things, but there were good people at Navarro. Good people with a lot of experience. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic079 Not many of them are alive anymore, but I think they could make a difference in the fight against Caesar. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic080 That's a hard question to answer. I know I don't want the Legion to take Hoover Dam. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic080 So militarily, yes, I want them to help NCR. If possible, I'd like to figure out a way to help the NCR win Hoover Dam without holding New Vegas. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic081 Great! {excited}I'd like you to talk to the old-timers, the Remnants. I don't think I can convince them by myself. To them, I'm still a kid. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic081 But you're a big part of what's happening out here. When you talk to them, they'll understand how important this all is. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic081 I've kept in contact with them over the years, so I know where you can find them, but I doubt they'll open up to you unless I come along. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic081 I know I'm not always the most serious guy around, but this means a lot to me. Thanks. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic082 {surprised}Oh. {beat}After spilling my guts to you, I wasn't expecting that kind of a response but... I understand. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic082 If you change your mind, let me know. It would mean a lot to me. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic084 Stop thinking so much. Thanks. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic086 It isn't enough to mean well if you don't do good. I'm sure Caesar meant well, too. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic087 If you lose your humanity, then I suppose that is all that's left. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic088 I know I shouldn't place one life below another, but in Caesar's case, I'll make an exception. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic088 The whole slavery and cultural annihilation" stance he's adopted is bit repugnant to me." VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic088 Though I guess what I think never really mattered much to you, did it? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic089 {The conquering cause pleased the gods VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic089 {sadly}Goodbye, courier. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic090 In the words of Socrates, Go fornicate yourself."" VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic091 At least the mess is ours to clean up. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic091 Wait a minute... am I going crazy or are you actually suggesting it might not be bad if the Legion takes over? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic092 It's a good thing to be, but you may want to close the floodgates once you see how Caesar runs things. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic093 Okay. I just wanted you to confirm that I'm traveling in the company of an insane fascist. Thanks. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic094 If the NCR is broken, it will fail on its own. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic094 The people who live here don't deserve to be victims of your misguided attempts at political engineering. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic094 Or are they just collateral damage? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic095 What?! Caesar is going to enslave or kill everyone in the Mojave. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic095 And when that's done, he'll try to destroy the NCR senate and install himself as its new military dictator. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic095 I can't comprehend how Caesar could so extensively scramble your sense of morality to make you think the Legion is a better alternative to {emph}anything. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic095 And you know what? I'm not going to stick around to try to figure it out. At least legionaries have the excuse of being born into it. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic095 Have a nice life. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic096 Great! You're either unimaginably cruel or profoundly insane! VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic096 Either way, I'm not going to wait around for you to help the Legion roll across Hoover Dam. Bye. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic097 How noble of you. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic097 Sorry, but I won't be sticking around to see if you have the courtesy to lay flowers on the mass grave that the Legion's going to dig for them. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic098 Sure, if you're a sociopath. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic098 {sickened}Enjoy the fruits of your labor. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic099 They sure don't, but I hope you get everything that's coming to you. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic099 Have a nice life. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic100 If by sometimes" you mean "a lot of times VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic101 That wasn't exactly the response I was hoping for, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic101 Seriously, though, watch it. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic102 If you insist. Have a nice life. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic103 Because you're helping Caesar's Legion. They are bad. You are bad. I am going. Bye. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic103 Why are you crazy? That's a question for someone much wiser and more patient than myself. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic103 All I know is that you are a bad person and I don't want to be around you anymore. So if that was your goal, congratulations. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic103 If not, I'm sorry to inform you that you are, as the locals say, nuttier than a Bighorner dropping."" VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic104 That was the plan. Bye. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic105 I suppose you're right. When you're part of something for that long, maybe it's impossible to let go without losing part of yourself. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic105 Moreno may be a stubborn son of a bitch, but at least he's loyal. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic106 It's been decades, you know. By now, he's been out of the Enclave longer than he was in. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic106 Most people know when to hang it up and start over. But not Moreno. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic107 As screwed up as it sounds, at least she was part of something. Granted, it was something... admittedly, pretty bad, but it was something. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic107 If you spent the first half of your life flying Enclave troopers in a vertibird, I suppose picking over Pre-War rocket parts doesn't quite compare. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic108 Not much glory in the Enclave. Most of her old comrades are long gone. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic108 I know life as a salvager can't compare to being a vertibird pilot but... at least it's life. That has to count for something. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic109 I wonder if he would. It's pointless, I know, but sometimes I wonder what he wanted me to be. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic109 Maybe being a doctor in the middle of Nevada wasn't exactly what he had in mind for his little boy. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic110 I grew up without him. I'll always feel like something is missing from my life. But you're right. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic110 It's not like I'm the only kid in the wasteland who's grown up without a dad. Johnson always said my father was a good man. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic110 If that's the only thing about me that's like him, that's enough for me. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic111 Not everyone dreams of being a revolutionary, I suppose. Maybe we can't all change the world. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic111 Maybe it's enough just to do good for the short time that we're here. No one's going to sing Doc Henry's praises when he's gone. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic111 But he's probably saved more lives than I ever will. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic112 I'm sure Henry has goals. He was just more concerned with the how" than the "why" of things. Being in the Enclave didn't really mean much to him." VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic112 I guess I'm lucky that I'm part of the Followers. Helping people as a doctor is important, but with the Followers, it feels different. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic112 It feels like we're working toward something more important. That's more than the sum of good deeds that we do. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic113 Sometimes I wonder how much of my father they see in me. They went through a lot together, but my family went through it, too. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic113 I'm glad they've watched out for me all these years. Maybe someday I can return the favor. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic114 Oh, I know. I was only a boy when they went through hell together. I'm glad you're helping me reunite them. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic114 Even if I'm still just a spectator in all of this, I know they can still do some good. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic115 I've been wondering about Daisy and the others for so long, I still haven't figured out what I should do. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic115 I mean, I'm not like them. I was born at Navarro and my father served with them, but I wasn't really part of the Enclave. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic115 It seems presumptuous of me to think that I could join the fight, even if this is a cause worth fighting for. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic115 Because I know when fighting breaks out at the dam, all hell is going to break loose in Freeside. They're going to need every doctor they can get. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic116 Hold on a second. I need to talk to you about something else. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic117 Fine. Would you mind explaining {emph}why you killed Anderson? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic118 That's a grim deal to make. But when it came down to it, it's the same choice he made. Not all sacrifices are made by the willing. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic118 {quoting the bible}But where is the lamb for this burnt offering? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic119 That was his decision to make, not yours. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic120 There are other ways to punish people, other ways to condemn their actions. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic121 {melancholy}What the Followers always do. Whatever we can. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic122 No, really. Have you ever snorted a ground up Cazador venom sac? Neither have I, but I can guarantee you that a Freeside junkie {emph.}has. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic123 Oh, all right. I'm thirty-ish. {admitting}Well, late thirties. I was born... {guarded}west of here. I was an only child and spent most of my time with my mother. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic123 My father died when I was young and I never got over it. Oh... and I like medicine and reading books about failed Pre-War socioeconomic policies. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic123 {a bit of sarcasm}Right now, I'm sure you're asking yourself, Why hasn't some lucky man scooped this bachelor off his feet?" {serious}Like I said VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic124 Some people do. I just... don't. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic124 Look, I appreciate that you're trying to be friendly, but I'd just rather not discuss it. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic125 Okay, okay, you don't have to agree with me {emph}that much. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic126 {sounds reasonable}All right. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic127 All right. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic128 Great. Glad we're on the same page. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic128 I mean, I didn't expect that you'd want to... activate the super weapon or anything. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic128 {nervous}Heh. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic129 NCR troops control Hoover Dam. Why do they need {emph}more power? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic130 {nervous}O... kay. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic131 Hmm. That's a valid point. I'm not really behind the NCR in all of this, but the last thing I want is panic in the streets. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic132 Maybe if you're Mr. House you do. I bet the people in Freeside need it a lot more than he does. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic133 Yeah, exactly. They don't. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic134 Argh, you moron! You're going to kill all of the troopers down there! VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic134 That's it. I'm out. Good luck getting out of this place without being shot to pieces by NCR soldiers, assuming they aren't going to fry to death. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic135 I'm thinking that I'm leaving because you are a sociopath. Good riddance. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic136 Oh, to hell with this! VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic137 I figured you'd say that. Sometimes staying put is the best thing you can do. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic137 I'll leave the fighting to the old warhorses. It's what they were made for. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic137 I need to go take care of something before I set up at Freeside. I'll see you soon. And again, thanks for your help with the others. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic137 I honestly didn't expect you to say that. When I talked to you about Daisy and the others, you seemed to put a lot of value in loyalty to the past. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic137 What's changed since then? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic138 Good point. You've been encouraging the others to stand up and fight, maybe I should take the same advice. After all, I also lived in Navarro. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic138 There's something I need to go do, but I'll catch up with you later. Thanks again for your help with the others. It means a lot to me. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic138 I'm surprised to hear you say that. I thought you had a problem with people who hold on to the past. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic138 Suiting up to fight against Caesar with the Navarro veterans seems like... I don't know, like a kid playing dress up in his father's clothes. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic139 True enough, I suppose. Getting them back together must be worth more than me spraying plasma all over the dam. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic139 Back to Freeside it is. I need to make a stop before I settle in. I'll be back in a while. Thanks again for your help. It means a lot to me. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic140 I am, but they're still my family. I think you were right the first time. If there's something I can do to help hold the dam, I'll do it. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic140 Look, there's something I have to do, but I promise I'll be back in a while. Trust me. And thanks again for your help. It means a lot to me. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic141 True enough. Maybe I can't fill my father's shoes. I wouldn't even know how. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic141 But if following in his footsteps for a while means I can do some good out here, I will do my best. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic141 I need to go do something. I won't be gone long, but I'll catch up with you later. Thanks for your help with the others. It means a lot to me. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic142 No, I think it {emph.}is the same for me. Maybe for a different reason, but... you can't hold on to a past you've never had. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic142 For better or worse, I am not my father. I never had a life with the Enclave, and it would be silly for me to try to start one now. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic142 I'll stay with you until the Legion moves on the dam, but once the attack starts, I'm going to have to go to back to Freeside. It's where I belong. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic142 I need to take care of something, but I'll see you soon enough. Thanks for all of the help. It means a lot to me. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic146 It's the least I could do. All I ask is that you put it to good use. This place has lived in the shadow of Caesar for long enough. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic146 I may not be the one to help stop him here, but you are. {fortune favors the bold" for-tees for-too-nah ah-dee-oo-vah-t}Fortis fortuna adiuvat. Good luck VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic147 Of course, Caesar! You can hardly even hold his men responsible, given how they're practically raised to worship him as a living deity. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic147 What's the point of surviving the war? Why did the founders of the Followers crawl their way out of vaults to bring knowledge back to the wasteland? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic147 So we could act like the last two thousand years didn't happen? Play dress up so we can fight ancient wars all over again? VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic147 {defiantly}No way is he getting away with this. I'm not letting it happen. You're not letting it happen. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic148 Being smart" doesn't matter if you're insane. Everything makes sense to Caesar because he's twisted everything to his world view." VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic148 He's Caesar reincarnated, the NCR is the corrupt Roman senate. I wouldn't be surprised if he thought the Colorado River were the new Rubicon. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic148 He abdicates responsibility to a myth of historical inevitability. But he's {emph}not Caesar. This isn't Rome. {defiantly}And he isn't going to get away with this. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic149 Well, yeah! Right. What {emph}did I expect? The man's a megalomaniac. He acts like this is some pre-ordained cycle we're returning to. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic149 Of all the people who could learn from our past mistakes, he goes and throws all of our knowledge off of a cliff. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic149 Instead of trying to learn from the past, he re-creates it, runs back over the same old barren ground. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic150 A fair point, but from the perspective of someone on the east side of Arizona, the man is clearly out of his mind. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic150 Maybe he didn't intend for things to wind up this way, but that doesn't mean he needs to perpetuate this bizarre anachronistic myth. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic150 And it doesn't mean that we should sit by and nod our heads at every absurd faux-Roman {kah-soos beh-lee, case of war"}casus belli he can dream up." VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic150 He's a tyrant. The bad kind. And there's no way we're letting him take Hoover Dam. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic151 I don't think you need to worry about the specifics. Basically, expect a lot of firepower and dead bodies. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic151 Enclave technology is even more advanced than Brotherhood equipment, and in the hands of soldiers as experienced as Moreno and the others... VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic151 Let's just say it's truly a sight to behold. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic152 {disappointed}I have to admit, I did not expect that sort of response. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic152 {deflated}This is one of the last surviving suits of original-issue Tesla armor from Navarro and it was worn by my father but... yeah I guess it's no big deal. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic152 Good luck at Hoover Dam. I'll uh... be going now, I guess. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic153 Back to Old Mormon Fort, where I can do some good. We Followers may be idealistic but even I know this is going to end in blood. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic153 {fortune favors the bold" for-tees for-too-nah ah-dee-oo-vah-t}Fortis fortuna adiuvat. Good luck VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic155 Some of the old-timers like Moreno hold grudges against the Brotherhood and the NCR. I'd like to think I'm above that, but you may be right. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic155 I'm not going to pout and cry if you give him to the Brotherhood. I'd rather they have it than allow all that knowledge to disappear. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic155 I'd just prefer that it goes to an organization like the Followers, who are less likely to use it for... violent purposes. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic156 The Brotherhood hoards knowledge and is obviously a smidge more violent than the Followers. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic156 Don't get me wrong. I'd rather the Brotherhood get the intel than see it lost somewhere in the desert, but I'd prefer the Followers overall. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic157 {a little concerned}Okay. Don't have to make a decision now. Just... sleep on it or something. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic158 Great. Then all is right with the world. VDialogueArcadeGannonVFSArcadeGannonTopic159 This shouldn't be too surprising, but I'd prefer you let the Followers examine him. {unsure}Hopefully the reasons are obvious. VDialogueBennyArena {respectfully}Thanks again for this. You're platinum, baby. VDialogueBennyBennySexScene You're platinum, pussycat! You know how to swing! VDialogueBennyBennySexScene {complimenting her breasts}Nice charlies, too! Give {'em}them a shake for the Ben-man, will ya? {catcall}Hello! VDialogueBennyBennySexScene {worn out from vigorous love-making}{long sigh}That was a nice bit of hey-hey, girlie. You're a real ring-a-ding broad! VDialogueBennyBennySexScene {unexpectedly vulnerable}Hold me, will ya? I swear you wore me out... {soft snoring} VDialogueBennyBennyTopic000 More than you ever dreamed, baby. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic003 {amused, keeping voice down}I hit what I was aiming for. Guess you had brains to spare. Or are you just thick-skulled? VDialogueBennyBennyTopic003 {trying to swing this to your advantage}Either way, baby, this is good news. {lying}Maybe I can finally sleep at night, knowing you didn't die. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic004 The time for talk has passed, honey baby. These mouths of ours have appointments to be elsewhere. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic005 {fleeing in terror; cash me out" is slang for leaving}Cash me outta this mess!" VDialogueBennyBennyTopic006 {keeping voice down}I can't do that, baby, and you know it. There's a lot of angles to this caper - complexities aplenty. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic006 But plenty of action, too - enough for both of us. But we don't jabber about that out here in public. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic007 {amused}You making a pass at me, sister? {Cuz}Because I'm out of your league. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic007 {wary confusion - is she really coming on to you?}Did those bullets scramble your egg? {starting to get turned on despite yourself}Or have you always been a naughty broad...? VDialogueBennyBennyTopic007 {aroused despite yourself}You're one sick pussycat, baby. There's {derisive term for an easy pick-up}quins and then there's... I don't even know what to call you. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic007 {referring to her burial}I hear dig" from you VDialogueBennyBennyTopic007 {unable to help yourself - you want her}All right, honey baby, this is all kinds of wrong, but to my suite it is. Thirteenth floor. Don't keep me waiting. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic007 Wow-ee wow wow, girl. This is all kinds of wrong, but I'm in for a dozen. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic009 {keeping voice down}You want a reason, how about four? VDialogueBennyBennyTopic009 They're called bodyguards, and every one of them is packing. Me, too - so baby makes five. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic009 Add to that every Chairman in this joint is armed, and not with some hold-out peashooter like {doubting it}maybe you smuggled through security. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic009 Anyhow, baby, you didn't come here for vengeance. You came to get clued in. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic011 {entering combat}You tramp! Like I needed another social disease anyhow! VDialogueBennyBennyTopic012 Nowheresville, that's where. Sorry about the double-cross - {hard to keep track}or are we up to quadruple? - but if someone's gonna die, it's you. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic013 {don't be a sore loser}Baby, getting outplayed and getting cheated ain't the same thing. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic013 I get it, you're sore. A crumb's life is painful, full of disappointments. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic014 That temper of yours? Kinda why this conversation's taking place over an intercom. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic014 Do me a favor and stay dead this time, hey? {end of conversation}Good night all! It's been a gas... VDialogueBennyBennyTopic016 You've got a crazy drop on me here, baby, that's for sure. If killing's what you came for, this would be the time. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic016 But baby - you'd be disappointing me. All the trouble you went through to arrange this shin-dig? Must be something more you're after...? VDialogueBennyBennyTopic017 {keeping voice down}You don't wanna do that, baby - not without hearing what I got to say first. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic020 {Bleary, waking up from sleep only to be murdered}Huh...? {Beingg killed}Hnngk! VDialogueBennyBennyTopic022 [SUCCEEDED] {still not quite buying it}All this is just work ethic run wild, that's your line? I don't know... VDialogueBennyBennyTopic022 {offering a chance}Can you get it through your thick skull to leave me and the Chip alone? {doubting}If bullets can't get through, what hope is there? VDialogueBennyBennyTopic022 [FAILED] Color me unconvinced. The safe bet is to cash you out. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic023 A lifelong-learner is you, hey? {beat}Then make your questions count, because your lifelong is running lifeshort. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic024 [SUCCEEDED] {chuckling, wondering if you're making a mistake}Goddammit, I'm actually gonna to let you live. What's come over me? VDialogueBennyBennyTopic024 Scramsville, baby. The Strip and you part ways, dig? You come around me again, you won't be getting back up. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic024 [FAILED] Color me unconvinced. The safe bet is to cash you out. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic027 {Gentle snoring}Zzzz.... VDialogueBennyBennyTopic028 Luck is for losers, baby. Someone pulled strings. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic029 It's the House edge, baby. The key to stacking the odds in his favor - or was, {'til}until I swiped it. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic029 There's more to it, but we don't have the time. By which I mean you don't. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic030 Angle? I'm head-on, baby, flat-out, all stops pulled, full steam ahead. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic030 Side bets are for losers. I'm playing to win. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic031 {keeping voice down}To start, I'll comp you the Presidential - best suite in the house. You deserve a taste of the VIP lifestyle. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic031 {keeping voice down}I'll hang out down here for a while to make everything look business-as-usual, then come to you. Any questions you got, I'll answer - guaranteed. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic032 Why would I do that, baby? I want to talk to you as much as you want to talk to me. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic032 And you dig this is just first base, right? You and me have a future together, and it's big league and open all night. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic032 Here's this key to the Prez. I'll see you there in two shakes. Ta-ta. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic033 [SUCCEEDED] Where's my manners? Here's some cash up front. There'll be more where that came from. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic033 Wait for me in the Presidential suite. We got a future together, you and me. It's time we got started. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic033 [FAILED] {keeping voice down}This operation has cost me plenty. I ain't about to get shaken down by some Johnny-come-lately. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic033 [FAILED] {keeping voice down}This operation has cost me plenty. I ain't about to get shaken down by some Janey-come-lately. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic033 {keeping voice down}There's a first-class offer on the table. The rest is up to you. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic035 Starts combat. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic037 [SUCCEEDED] If that's what it takes to win your trust, that's what it takes. Follow me. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic037 [FAILED] {keeping voice down}You tracked me across the desert, Sugar Plum. Finding the Presidential? Easy pickings. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic039 {FIRST TALK, ASSASSINATION}Can't do that, baby. The Chip, it's... {emphasis}special. But savor this, baby... VDialogueBennyBennyTopic039 I {emphasis}can comp you the Presidential - best suite in the house. After what you been through, you deserve a taste of the VIP lifestyle. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic039 Give me a moment or two to catch my breath and knock back a few cocktails, and I'll swing by for a meet and greet. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic039 I'll clue you in, guaranteed - every question answered. This can be the start of a beautiful friendship. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic039 {SECOND+ TALK, ASSASSINATION}Baby, the meet and greet we scheduled in the Presidential? The whole point is to explain why I can't hand the Chip over. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic039 Now let's just forget this little ambush, and meet up in the suite like we planned. How's that sound? VDialogueBennyBennyTopic040 {Dumbfounded, nearly choking}What the fuck...? VDialogueBennyBennyTopic043 Then this is endsville, baby - may the best {slight emphasis}man win. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic044 {relieved to be getting out of here}Baby, you're the boss. All you gotta do is whistle. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic044 In the meantime, enjoy the high life. Room service is on me. I'll send up a bottle of the good stuff. Ta-ta. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic044 {relieved by end of conversation}Baby, you're the boss. All you gotta do is whistle. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic044 Here, take some chips and see how you do at the tables. Ta-ta. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic044 See ya {'round}around. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic044 In the meantime, enjoy the high life. Room service is on me. I'll send up a bottle of the good stuff. Ta-ta. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic047 Do what you got to do, baby, and let the chips fall as they may. You know where to find me. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic049 It's some kind of data storage device, dig? So it's the data on the Chip that's platinum, not the Chip itself. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic049 Trouble is, the Chip don't fit any computer I've found. Must require special hardware. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic050 It has something to do with the Securitrons, I know that much. Upgrades their hitting power, gives {'em}them heft. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic050 {drawing out the understatement}Might be slightly useful, if you're looking to defend the Strip from Caesar's Legion or the NCR. {beat - significantly}Or maybe both? VDialogueBennyBennyTopic051 {keeping voice down}It can't work like that, baby - not out in public like this. You really need me to spell that out? VDialogueBennyBennyTopic052 You help me, and before long the Chairmen will rule all of Vegas, dig? With enough robot muscle to back it up. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic052 You'll get a sweet, juicy cut of that action. But until that day comes, I'll keep you on retainer, and pay bonuses for special missions."" VDialogueBennyBennyTopic052 How's that sound? VDialogueBennyBennyTopic053 A magician don't explain his tricks. I get it. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic054 {appalled}Look at me, a big-leaguer or so I claim, making all the mistakes of an original loser... VDialogueBennyBennyTopic054 Looks like I should think about quitting... VDialogueBennyBennyTopic054 To think I deemed that flintbox my lucky charm. Oh, the irony... VDialogueBennyBennyTopic056 {pained that the player talked to Yes Man}You really weren't supposed to talk to him... VDialogueBennyBennyTopic056 {reluctantly explaining}All right, so he used to be a Securitron on patrol. Square as the rest, {'til}until I gave him a mickey in the shape of pulse grenade. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic056 Once he was on the nod, I yanked some wires and dragged him up to the workshop. I had... {hesitating to reveal this}some help, you see. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic056 Gal named Emily, one of the Followers over in Freeside, a real whiz when it comes to things technical. She programmed his personality. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic056 Once Yes Man was hooked back in to House's data network, I started learning a lot more about what he was up to, dig? Like where and when to find you. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic058 {rueful}Guess I shoulda seen that coming. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic061 Baby, ease off the gas. The Chip belongs in the hands of someone who can use it. As in me, not you. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic061 You'll get a piece of the action, and a sweet one. But the Chip sticks with me. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic062 Jackpot, baby! I knew we'd see eye to eye! VDialogueBennyBennyTopic062 Here's a start on your retainer - don't spend it all in one place. And the Prez is yours for as long as you want it. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic062 When you're ready to saddle up, come find me down on the casino floor and we'll plan the next step of this caper. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic062 Ring-a-ding, baby! Ta-ta! VDialogueBennyBennyTopic062 Jackpot, baby! I knew we'd see eye to eye! VDialogueBennyBennyTopic062 Here's a start on your retainer. And as a signing bonus, take the key to the Presidential - best suite in the house! VDialogueBennyBennyTopic062 When you're ready to saddle up, come find me down on the casino floor and we'll plan the next step of this caper. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic062 Now if you'll excuse me, I need a moment to collect myself. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic065 {condescending}Baby, do you not understand the level of game here? VDialogueBennyBennyTopic065 What I did to you was rotten, but if you think House, the NCR or Caesar won't kill to put Vegas in their pocket, I really did blow out your brains. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic066 Not the point I was aiming for but, well, let's see this through. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic067 It's a game, and games have winners and losers. I prefer the former, how about you? VDialogueBennyBennyTopic068 Was a time I would've agreed with you. But this... it's too big, it affects too many people. I can't get hung up on those details. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic069 {horrified - keeping your voice down}Baby, this is {emphasis}not the place to go talking about that! VDialogueBennyBennyTopic076 {drawing it out, scoffing at player's bravado}Yeah, hello... Well, serves me right for using a 9mm. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic077 {dismayed}House was on to me from word Go? I thought I was being so clever... VDialogueBennyBennyTopic079 A good cat to swing with. Or was - {'til}until he stopped mewing. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic079 It was House's big idea to resurrect the Strip. He recruited the Three Families as muscle, showed us how to set up casinos, negotiated with the NCR. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic079 None of this in person, mind you. Did all his talking through those Securitrons of his. But lately? The silence is deafening. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic079 The robots collect House's share of the take every week and life goes on. Ain't exactly what I'd call leadership. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic080 We're the definition of cool, baby. We know how to swing. Folks come to us to learn how to enjoy themselves. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic080 Of the three families, we're the only ones with the heart and savoir-faire to run the Strip on our own. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic081 A nation of meddlers, trying to muscle in on our action. Well, we got muscles too, and smarts besides. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic081 Only reason the NCR hasn't busted up our scene is they're a little afraid of Mr. House, and a lot afraid of Caesar. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic081 If the NCR beats the Legion at Hoover Dam, they'll turn on us and claim the Strip. And we don't have the muscle to beat them {significantly}- not yet. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic081 Meanwhile, they're all that's keeping Caesar's Legion at bay. Plus NCR soldiers and citizens are out best customers. It's complicated. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic082 Worst of the worst! A tribe of degenerate losers led by a creep. They crucify people for kicks! Slaughter whole towns! VDialogueBennyBennyTopic082 The NCR beat {'em}them at the dam three years ago, but that didn't stop them. They've spent the meanwhile gathering strength. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic082 They're gonna try to take the dam again, real soon. And if they do, Vegas as we know it will cease to exist. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic084 I know, you figure me for a creep. It's your prerogative. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic084 If you change your mind, come find me on the casino floor. In the meantime, the Presidential is yours whenever you want it. Adios. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic084 I know, you figure me for a creep. And you done me a solid already, just by not shooting at me. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic084 As a token of appreciation, this here's the key to the Presidential - best suite in the house. Stay as long as you like, free of charge. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic084 If you change your mind, come find me down on the casino floor and we'll work out the next step of this caper. Adios. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic087 {marveling}You forgive me? After what I done? Baby, are you trying to make me cry? VDialogueBennyBennyTopic087 I don't know what to say. Words don't begin. The least I can do is comp you the Presidential for as long as you want it. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic087 This spirit of forgiveness you're showing me... it's enough to make a player rethink what it means to win. You're 18 karat, baby - all the way. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic087 {marveling}You forgive me? After what I done? Baby, are you trying to make me cry? VDialogueBennyBennyTopic087 I don't know what to say. Words don't begin. Here, take the key to the Presidential - the best suite in the house. Stay as long as you like. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic087 This spirit of forgiveness you're showing me... it's enough to make a player rethink what it means to win. You're 18 karat, baby. Catch you later. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic088 We gotta problem, boys! VDialogueBennyBennyTopic089 Baby, the odds may look long, but that's just because we ain't done rigging them. I won't toss the dice until we are. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic089 I've gleaned a lot, working with Mr. House. He was a good cat to swing with. I still got more to learn, but it's... it's coming together. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic090 Uh oh. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic091 A tribe of finks. Every single one of them is a degenerate. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic091 Mark my words - they're playing an angle. How do I know? They always are. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic092 Personally? They give me the heebie-jeebies. There's such a thing as being too polite, if I may" this and "my pleasure" that." VDialogueBennyBennyTopic092 Don't get me wrong - that resort of theirs is strictly ring-a-ding. But my guts say, don't go in the basement."" VDialogueBennyBennyTopic093 Yeah, that's one word for it. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic094 {keeping voice down}You want a reason, how about four? VDialogueBennyBennyTopic094 They're called bodyguards, and every one of them is packing. Me, too - so baby makes five. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic094 Add to that every Chairman in this joint is armed, and not with some hold-out peashooter like {doubting it}maybe you smuggled through security. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic094 {confident in security, serious}Anything I needed to worry about, baby, got confiscated at the door. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic095 You're bluffing, baby... {seeing it in player's eyes}Except maybe you're not. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic095 Sweet little caper, getting your weapons back. But let cooler heads prevail, hey? No need for violence. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic097 Baby, if ever there was a need for violence, you is it. Just do me a favor and stay dead this time, hey? Ta-ta. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic098 Baby, getting outplayed and getting cheated ain't the same thing. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic098 I get it, you're sore. A crumb's life is painful. But soon you won't feel a thing. Ta-ta. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic102 {shrugging at failure of negotiations, starting combat}It was worth a try. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic103 {conceding}I know, I made a bad first impression. You got every reason to think I'm a creep. But baby, this is an 18 karat opportunity. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic103 I've got the Chip, but to see this shin-dig through to the end? I'm gonna need help. And hello! Who shows up but you? VDialogueBennyBennyTopic103 It can't be a coincidence, baby. You and me were meant to work together. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic104 {a surge of relief - how did you pull this off?}Baby, wow-ee wow wow! You and me are gonna swing! VDialogueBennyBennyTopic104 Here's the key. I'll be by in a few... just as soon as my legs stop shaking. VDialogueBennyBennyTopic105 {pulling your weapon}Or else {emphasis}what, punk? Or else {emphasis}this? VDialogueBennyBodyguards I'm gonna take a meeting with this {pal-ee}pally up in the Prez. You boys wait at the bottom of the elevator. You hear trouble, come up blazing. VDialogueBennyButchered {Terrified, humiliated, defiant}You think you scare me? Come on! Do it! VDialogueBennyButchered {in pain, defiant}That the best you can do? VDialogueBennyButchered {in pain, defiant}I didn't even feel that one! VDialogueBennyButchered {in pain, defiant}That's right, gimme another! VDialogueBennyButchered {in pain, defiant}I thought this was supposed to hurt! VDialogueBennyButchered {in pain, defiant}Come on, ya bum! Put your shoulder into it! VDialogueBennyButchered {in pain, defiant}Come on, ya bitch! You swing like a girl! VDialogueBennyCaged Check out the digs. Real cozy in here. VDialogueBennyCaged {bored}I can hardly stand the excitement. VDialogueBennyCaged These Legion boys are coo-coo, you realize? VDialogueBennyCaged {waiting for player to kill you}What are you waiting for? Do it! VDialogueBennyCaged {waiting for player to kill you}Come on, end it! VDialogueBennyCaged {waiting for player to kill you}You gonna do it or not? VDialogueBennyCrucified {crucified, in pain but defiant}Happy now, you twisted bitch? {resolving not to talk again}Well, I ain't gonna give you the satisfaction. VDialogueBennyCrucified {crucified, in pain but defiant}Happy now, you twisted bum? {resolving not to talk again}Well, I ain't gonna give you the satisfaction. VDialogueBennyCrucified {crucified, in pain but defiant}Scram, will ya? VDialogueBennyCrucified {crucified, in pain but defiant}I got nothing to say to you. VDialogueBennyElevator {Player has tried to use elevator to leave}That elevator is nowhere, baby. Step over to the mic. VDialogueBennyFreedAmbush {ambushing the player while using Stealth Boy}Thanks for getting me outta that cage! Now for once will you just {emphasis, player's resilience is vexing}lay down and stay down? VDialogueBennyFreedAmbush No one rules Vegas {'cept}except me, got it? You're a lowdown gofer! You deliver mail! VDialogueBennyFreedAmbush How ya like being Mister Good-Two-Shoes, hey? How's it feeling? VDialogueBennyFreedAmbush How ya like being Miss Good-Two-Shoes, hey? How's it feeling? VDialogueBennyIntercom {Calling player over to intercom}Hey, baby! Over here! VDialogueBennyIntercom {Calling player over to intercom}I ain't waiting all day, baby. VDialogueBennyIntercom {Calling player over to intercom, taking too long}Baby, I'm dying over here. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic002 Ta-ta. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic003 So all this time the old man had an entire army on lay-away? Clever player. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic003 {caught up in vision of triumph}Just imagine the look on Baldie's face when those Securitrons come pouring out on judgment day! I'd pay to have that bronzed! VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic003 {realizing you won't be a part of it}So all you gotta do now is talk to Yes Man, figure out how to set things in motion. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic003 Make Vegas a town I woulda been proud of, baby. Let it swing. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic004 Blow on the dice, baby. We're gonna need luck to get outta here alive. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic006 Sweet to offer, baby, but if you cut these ropes every Legionary in this camp's gonna come running. With machetes. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic006 Now on the other hand, if I had a Stealth Boy and a Bobby Pin, I could see myself out. Know what I mean? VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic006 I know I been bad, but it's cruel to jerk me around like this... VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic006 Like I said, baby, all Benny needs is a Stealth Boy and a Bobby Pin. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic007 Baby... your generosity and spirit of forgiveness? Off the charts. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic007 This little care package is everything I need. I'll take it from here. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic008 Baby, if you show me the door to scramsville, that's where I'll go - out of your hair, never to return. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic008 I been a fink to you, caused more than my share of grief by a hard mile. Let me go, you won't see me again. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic010 No one likes a tease, baby. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic010 Then stop bringing it up! VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic011 Check's in the mail, hey? Don't get my hopes up. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic013 Yeah? What about it? VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic017 Yeah, to die in my sleep at a ripe old age after a marathon session of hey-hey with thirty sex-starved broads. You'll set that up? VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic017 Look, I ain't a harbor for illusions. I ain't expecting to get out of this shin-dig alive. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic017 That's why I'm trying to hand you my scheme, baby. It's called having a legacy. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic018 I know, so many options! How do you choose just one? VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic019 {trying to hide horror}Yeah... getting butchered like livestock. Something to aspire to. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic020 Yeah, real popular {'round}around here. It's a crowd pleaser. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic021 {daring to hope}You'd do that for me, baby? Don't tease if you don't mean it. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic022 Now you're talking! That is the ring-a-ding move, baby. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic022 First base is whatever Mr. House would have you do. Follow orders, rig the game to his specifications. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic022 Then, when he ain't looking, you knock him out of the running and find a way to take control of those Securitrons of his. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic022 Go see Yes Man. {articulate on the tongue twister}I made it so that cat can't help but be helpful. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic022 {Benny knows House is dead/unplugged.}Now you're talking! That is the ring-a-ding move, baby. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic022 First base is do whatever Mr. House would've had you do. Finish rigging the game, then puzzle out how to take over where he left off, dig? VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic022 For hows and whats, just talk to Yes Man. {articulate on the tongue twister}I made it so that cat can't help but be helpful. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic023 {Player already killed or unplugged Mr. House}You cashed out the old man? {grunt of amazement}So how's it feel to end an era? VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic023 You got the future of Vegas in the palm of your hand, baby. What happens next is up to you. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic023 Mr. House hides Vegas under his skirt when the bombs fall a thousand years ago, so it belongs to him? Forever? You buy that? VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic023 Baby, every boss has a line to explain why he's special, why everyone gotta do what he says. Just figuring that out? VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic023 Vegas gotta swing, baby, gotta have pizzazz. Respect where due, but that old man is square to the core. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic024 Ain't we covered this? The only thing not bad about them is they ain't Legion. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic024 The NCR's the biggest gang of thieves in the Mojave, only difference is they pass laws to make their crimes legal before they commit them. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic025 Nah, just spruce it up with a crucifixion here and there. {Are you stupid?}Come closer so I can step on you. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic025 The Legion is twisted, baby - original losers worshipping the king of creeps like he's some kind of god. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic025 They're worse than roaches. My advice? Put on your stomping shoes. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic026 More like two, after what you did to the Omertas. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic026 The Chairmen are true blue. The Omertas are degenerates - never trust them. Or the White Gloves - just something creepy about them. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic026 Set it up right, and the families will roll with your caper. You might have to do some convincing. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic027 Seven years. Took over three days after Mr. House introduced himself. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic027 Our chief at the time, mountain of a guy named Bingo, wanted to stay nomadic. I disagreed, so he challenged me to the knife. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic027 He looked so surprised when I stuck that knife in his neck. Thought he was so tough, but he was so slow. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic027 That's how I made chief. It's how things were back then. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic028 Nah, in the way-back we called ourselves the Boot Riders. Silly name, but that's how we rode the Mojave, dig? - on our feet. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic028 We were nomadic badasses, not to be trifled with. A gang of ruffians, though with a certain panache. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic028 When House gave us the Tops to renovate, his robots dropped off boxes full of suits and ties and wingtip shoes. Told us we were the Chairmen" now." VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic028 That caused an uproar. But I said the name sticks." Ciao to the old ways VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic029 We were east of Vegas when the first Securitron we ever saw rolled up on us. We junked it in a minute flat. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic029 The next day twenty roll up. So we listened. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic029 Said we'd been selected. Vegas needed us to defend it. In exchange, we'd get cushy digs, full stomachs, medical treatment. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic029 Everything a nomad never gets, in other words. Most of the tribe thought we should say no. I thought it was the best idea ever. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic033 No, come on, don't slaughter me like I'm some kind of animal! VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic034 Don't do that, baby, not crucifixion. I could be up there for days with those twisted creeps laughing and pointing. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic035 {warming to the idea}Machetes at twenty paces, hey? I accept your challenge. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic036 I see. {beat}Keep it simple, hey? Around here, it's one of the better options... VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic037 {losing composure}You sick, twisted fuck! VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic039 {losing composure}You sick, vindictive fuck! VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic041 {sincere}You're a class act, baby. Not to say I'm gonna make it easy for you... VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic043 {frustrated the player hasn't killed you yet}I'll believe it when it happens! VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic044 {I can't believe you're bringing this up}Yeah, we talked about it, but that went a big fat nowhere. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic044 It's too late for that, baby. This decision you gotta make is going down {emphasis}now. So what's it gonna be? VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic045 The direct approach, hey? Fair enough. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic045 But you should wait {'til}until the bunker's taken care of. Caesar won't like it if you eat dessert first. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic046 What am I gonna say? {sarcastic}No thanks?"" VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic046 If you can get these ropes off, I'll do my best to take down my share of the guards. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic047 Ring-a-ding-ding, baby. I've got your back. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic048 {outraged}You fink! Murdering me like this, down on my knees? VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic049 Nah, I'd rather see it coming. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic049 Do it, baby. Make it clean. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic050 That's it, baby! Time to vacate these premises! VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic051 Baby, you can't just leave me tied up! Those Legion boys'll hoist me up on a cross for the mess you made - if I'm lucky! VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic053 Baby, that can go any direction you want. We can take Vegas together, or I can head for the nearest sunset. Your call. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic054 Don't I know it! Too bad a conjugal visit here isn't practical... VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic055 {disappointed}Well ain't you a sentimental broad? Gimme a sec to jump off Cloud 9, I'll meet you on the ground... VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic056 {defending virility}Oh I made an impression all right! The dent in that mattress was permanent! VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic057 Yeah, well, laugh it up on your own time. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic058 That we do, baby, that we do... VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic059 Did I say I blamed society? I know why I'm here, baby. {pointed}Do you? VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic060 Didn't leave much choice when you showed up. Like I said, you forced my hand. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic061 Sure, Baldie wants you to go down in the bunker and destroy whatever Mr. House stashed there. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic061 You don't want to do that, baby. Whatever's down in that bunker is the key to the city called Vegas. So here's what you do... VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic061 You go down there and use the Chip to do whatever Mr. House woulda wanted you to do. And when you get back to the Strip, you find Yes Man. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic061 I made it so that cat can't help but be helpful, dig? VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic063 I prefer the term relocated."" VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic063 It took every Stealth Boy I had to cross the river at Cottonwood Cove. That was a close shave, riding a boat full of Legion boys. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic063 Once I was across, I changed into a uniform I swiped off a dead Legionary outside Nelson. Tried to sneak into the bunker, but that didn't work out. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic063 They found the Chip. I wasn't gonna tell them what it was used for, but... let's just say they were persuasive. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic074 What? How could you do that? VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic074 {all has come to naught}You loser! You had Vegas in the palm of your hand and you threw it away? VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic076 So all this time the old man had an entire army on lay-away? Clever player. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic076 {caught up in vision of triumph}Just imagine the look on Baldie's face when those Securitrons come pouring out on judgment day! I'd pay to have that bronzed! VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic076 {realizing you won't be a part of it}So all you gotta do now is talk to Yes Man, figure out how to set things in motion. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic076 Make Vegas a town I woulda been proud of, baby. Let it swing. VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic084 {enraged}Thanks for nothing, you fink! VDialogueBennyVFortBennyTopic087 {frustrated the player's taking so long}What ya talking about? I been ready! VDialogueBennyWatchesFight That's it, baby! Show these punks what you got! VDialogueBennyWatchesFight Groovy, baby! Plant these losers in the ground! VDialogueBennyWatchesFight That's it - sock it to the Legion, baby! VDialogueBennyWatchesFight Keep it up! Show these finks what's what! VDialogueBennyWatchesFight They got nothing on you, baby! Keep it up! VDialogueBennyWatchesFight Yeah! Give these {preh-TOR-ee-an}Praetorian bums the big send-off, baby! VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic000 {controlled anger}When I command you to complete a mission, you will complete it, or you should die in the attempt. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic000 I will overlook this error, but only because I think you can still be useful. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic003 Come back when you have news about the Boomers. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic003 Come back when you know more about the White Glove Society. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic003 Return to me when you've destroyed the Brotherhood of Steel. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic003 Come back when you've destroyed whatever you find down in that bunker. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic003 Complete your mission, then return to me. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic003 {WAHL-ay}Vale. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic005 Consider it the first of many {slight emphasis, you know your using a fancy word}bestowments. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic006 What's wrong with you? This man shot you, stole from you, left you in the desert to die. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic007 You need to work on your bloodthirst. We won't speak again until Benny is dead. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic007 Walk away if you want, but if you do, he's going up on a cross. You're still making a choice. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic014 Answer the question. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic015 There were tales once, of a cannibal tribe near Vegas, one that hid itself in a cavern far below ground, hunting men as prey above. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic015 The scouts I occasionally sent west many years ago reported these tales, but never had contact. Well, except the ones who went missing, perhaps. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic015 There are rumors that the White Gloves might be this lost tribe. Maybe you can help them find themselves. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic015 Culture is an odd thing. Sometimes a tribe grows tired of its identity, grabs for an opportunity to reimagine itself. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic015 The tribe becomes its own antithesis. Everything flips to the opposite polarity. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic015 Dialectics tells us that this can't last. There has to be a synthesis, a final sorting out. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic016 I'll hand it to that piece of shit, he was determined. He used some kind of Old-World stealth device to get across the river in a Legion boat.{get alternate take with him" instead of "that piece of shit"}" VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic016 Seems the device ran out of juice once he got here, but he was dressed like a Legionary. He was caught just outside the weather station. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic016 See, thing is, he didn't change his hairstyle. {amused at Benny's stupidity}To go through all that effort and fail because you're too vain to muss your hair... VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic016 He was brought before me, along with the Platinum Chip. That's how I knew he wasn't some kind of Profligate infiltrator. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic016 Benny tried to sell me a story, but Lucius has a way coaxing the truth out of captives. {not just the truth}Everything just comes spilling out. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic018 All right, that's a start. But now you have to convince them to support my Legion. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic018 Tell them they'll be allowed to continue practicing their {beat}dietary habits without interruption. {slightly amused}They can eat a portion of what they conquer. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic019 Do you want my opinion as a former citizen, or future conqueror? {shrug}Actually, my opinion's the same either way. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic019 As a young man I was taught to venerate {mocking slightly}President Tandi of Shady Sands. The Founding Mother of the New California Republic."" VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic019 Did you know her Presidency lasted 52 years? And that her father, Aradesh, was the Republic's first President? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic019 Does that sound like democracy to you, or a hereditary dictatorship? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic019 Because the council didn't dare oppose her. She was too popular. She had the people's love. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic019 So things ran smoothly, more or less. And as soon as she was gone, as soon as there really could be democracy" - what happened then?" VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic019 Ever since losing its queen, the NCR has been weaker, more diffuse. Democracy has been its weakness, not its strength. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic019 Greed runs rampant. The government is corrupt, accepting bribes from Brahmin barons and landowners, to the detriment of citizens. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic019 The NCR is a loose conglomerate of individuals looking out for themselves. It's lost virtue. No one cares about the collective, the greater good. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic019 It's not built to last. I'm just hastening the inevitable. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic019 Of course. The most powerful my Legion has faced. Also the first to which I am {beat}ideologically opposed. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic019 Until now, every tribe I've conquered has been so backwards and stunted, enslavement has been a gift bestowed upon them. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic019 My conquest of the Mojave will be a glorious triumph, marking the transition of the Legion from a basically nomadic tribe to a genuine empire. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic019 Just as my namesake campaigned in Gaul before he crossed the Rubicon, so have I campaigned, and will cross the Colorado. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic020 I know he's a coward, hiding behind an army of robots, ensconced in that tower of his like {beat as you think of it}a wizard in one of those Grognak comic books. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic020 Some say he's a man, others, a machine. I don't care. He's in the way. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic020 I know he's dead. I know he's no longer a factor. That's all I need to know. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic020 Losers don't matter in the history books. He's a fucking footnote. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic021 I've analyzed the region's tribes to determine how they might be useful. I may tell you more at a later time, if it suits me. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic021 {Safety lines}Here, this document has clear instructions on what to do next. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic021 Here, these written orders make it plain. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic021 These written orders will tell you what to do next. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic021 See {WULH-pace}Vulpes for details about your next mission. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic021 For further instructions, see {WULH-pace}Vulpes. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic021 Go see {WULH-pace}Vulpes. He'll brief you. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic021 Go see Lucius for details about your next mission. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic021 For further instructions, see Lucius. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic021 Go see Lucius. He'll brief you. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 Ironically, I was born a Profligate myself, a citizen of the NCR. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 My family lived not far from the great Boneyard. After Raiders killed my father, my mother sought the Followers' protection. I was two years old. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 She found work at their Library, cooking and cleaning. I learned how to read and soon I was taking courses, free of charge. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 Oh yes, raised in that tradition. And the teaching stuck. I was taught it was my responsibility to bring the torch of knowledge to the wastes. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 {joking about your conquests}I may have taken the torch part more literally than they intended. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 When I was 20, the Followers sent me East to Grand Canyon. It was my first expedition, just me and a physician named Calhoun. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 As an anthropologist and linguist, my assignment was to learn the dialects of the Grand Canyon tribes. What a fucking waste of time!{get alternate take with What a waste of time that would've been!"}" VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 If you think it's worthwhile to make smart people learn how to talk like backward savages, you're a Follower of the Apocalypse... or an idiot. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 Anyway, we met up with a Mormon missionary who already knew a bunch of dialects - Joshua Graham. He was supposed to teach me. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 But before that went too far, the Blackfoot tribe captured us, to hold us for ransom. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 They were a backward bunch. But the real problem was, they didn't know how to fight. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 The Blackfoot were at war with seven other tribes, each just as pissant as they were. But outnumbered like that, they weren't going to last long. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 It's one thing to be taken hostage, another to be lashed to a sinking ship. So over Calhoun's objections, I decided to take certain steps. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 I taught them how to use the guns they already had - how to strip and clean them, how to breathe when pulling a trigger, how to reload ammunition. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 They looked at me like I was some kind of a sorcerer. So I taught them how to make explosives, and started drilling them on small unit tactics. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 {amused}If there's anything I learned as a Follower of the Apocalypse, it's that there's a lot of good information in old books. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 {LATIN}{dih-WE-day et im-PEER-ah}Divide et impera - divide and conquer. I led the Blackfoot against the Ridgers, their weakest enemy. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 When they refused to surrender, I ordered every man, woman, and child killed. When next we surrounded the Kaibabs and they likewise refused... VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 I took one of their envoys to the Ridgers' village and showed him the corpse piles. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 This was new for the tribes, you see. They played at war, raiding each other, a little rape and pillage here, a little ransoming there. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 I showed them total warfare. Like I said, there's a lot you can learn from old books. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 The Kaibabs joined me, and the Fredonians after that - all the pissant tribes, with names that should be forgotten. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 I knew from the start I'd need to eradicate this plague of tribal identities, replacing them with a monolithic culture, a uniform identity. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 So that's what I did, once my confederation of tribes was large enough. I crowned myself {KAI-zar}Caesar and created a single Great Tribe - my Legion. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 I sent Calhoun, the Follower captured with me, back West with a message that I should not be interfered with. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 Joshua Graham, the Mormon interpreter, stayed with me and served as my first {leh-GAH-tus}Legatus. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 That's right. Decades of warfare, absorbing lesser tribes, gathering power. Forging the dross into a vast, razor-sharp scythe. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 My Legion's expansion has never ceased. Much of the Utah and Colorado, and all of Arizona and New Mexico, are mine. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic022 We have cities of our own, but nothing compared to Vegas. Finally, my Legion will have its Rome. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic023 I used imperial Rome as the model for my Legion precisely because it was so foreign, so {beat}alien. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic023 I'd seen what had become of the NCR's attempts to emulate the culture of Pre-War America - the in-fighting, the corruption. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic023 Rome was a highly militarized autocracy that effectively integrated the foreign cultures it conquered. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic023 It dedicated its citizens to something higher than themselves - to the idea of Rome itself. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic023 In Rome I found a template for a society equal to the challenges of the post-apocalyptic world - a society that could and would survive. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic023 A society that could prevent mankind from fracturing and destroying itself in this new world, by establishing a new {packs Ro-MAH-na}Pax Romana. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic023 It means a {taking time with each term}nationalist, imperialist, totalitarian, homogenous culture that obliterates the identity of every group it conquers. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic023 Long-term stability at all costs. The individual has no value beyond his utility to the state, whether as an instrument of war, or production. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic023 No, I'll destroy it because it's inevitable that it be destroyed. It's {heh-GEHL-ee-an}Hegelian Dialectics, not personal animosity. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic023 {enjoying the superiority of teacher}How do I put this basically enough? It's a philosophical theory, the kind you might encounter if you took time to read some books. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic023 The fundamental premise is to envision history as a sequence of dialectical" conflicts. Each dialectic begins with a proposition VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic023 ...which inherently contains, or creates, its opposite - an antithesis. Thesis and antithesis. The conflict is inevitable. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic023 But the resolution of the conflict yields something new - a synthesis - eliminating the flaws in each, leaving behind common elements and ideas. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic023 The bombs wiped the slate clean. Human civilization descended to a level of ignorance that effectively set our cultural progress back to zero. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic023 The NCR has all of the problems of the ancient Roman Republic - extreme bureaucracy, corruption, extensive senatorial infighting. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic023 Just as with the ancient Republic, it is natural that a military force should conquer and transform the NCR into a military dictatorship. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic023 Thesis and antithesis. The Colorado River is my Rubicon. The NCR council will be {beat}eradicated, but the new synthesis will change the Legion as well... VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic023 ...from a basically nomadic army to a standing military force that protects its citizens, {finality}and the power of its dictator. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic024 It's called an Auto-Doc. As the name suggests, it's an automated physician - more or less.

VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic043 By the time the White Gloves sort themselves out, the battle for Hoover Dam will have come and gone. So, on to the next matter at hand... VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic044 The leader of the tribe is a woman named Marjorie. My understanding is that she strongly opposes a {slight emphasis}reversion to cannibalism. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic044 If she's intractable, you might find Mortimer, her second-in-command, more flexible. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic046 [SUCCEEDED] I appreciate your concern, but I'm in excellent health. And we have other matters to discuss. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic046 [FAILED]{irritated} Only when you're around.{leads to So I get headaches every once in a while..."}" VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic047 Hmm...{breathe through nose} VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic047 {as though waking from a cat nap}Huh... Yeah. Yeah. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic047 {tired, unaware you aren't making sense}Yeah, the Brotherhood. Them. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic049 [SUCCEEDED] {tired}I don't know... There have been a couple... VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic049 [FAILED] {tired}I'm... I'm not sure. {confused}What was I saying? {remembering, to yourself}That's right, the Brotherhood... VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic050 {tired}It's nothing. Just tired, that's all. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic051 {tired}Look for the Brotherhood's bunker around, uh... {trying to remember}Hidden Valley. My scouts... saw some things. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic051 I'm going to bed. We'll talk later. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic052 [SUCCEEDED] {tired}Don't... just leave it alone. I'm fine. Now what was I saying...? Right. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic053 Take care of the Brotherhood. {beat - considering it, tantamount to admitting there's a problem}Maybe then we can have a conversation. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic054 {back the fuck off}I said, take care of the Brotherhood. Then we talk - maybe. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic055 It's never had a functional diagnostic scanning module. Without that, it's useless for surgery. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic056 [SUCCEEDED] {not surprised}I figured as much. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic056 Congratulations, you just became my personal physician. Do you have what you need to treat my condition? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic056 [FAILED]{pretty obvious, asshole} Yeah, it does. So if you can't help me, who can? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic057 [SUCCEEDED] {no idea what that diagnosis is}I'm not familiar with that condition. Is it treatable? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic057 [FAILED] {the player is full of shit}There's nothing moderate" about the severity of this. And if you're going to make up names for diseases VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic057 If you can't help me, who can? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic058 [SUCCEEDED] Then gather those items together and hurry back to perform the operation. I don't know how long I've got. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic058 [FAILED] Then gather the tools you need, and study up on your medical skills. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic058 When you're confident you can perform the operation, hurry back. I don't know how long I've got. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic060 And you fell for that? Really? Because I'm going to have you killed now. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic060 You do know why I wanted to meet you, right? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic060 A man nearly kills you, so you track him across the breadth of the Mojave? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic060 You arrive on the Strip and waltz into the Lucky 38 like someone left you a key under the doormat? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic060 You assassinate the head of the Chairmen {emphasis}in his own casino - and get away with it? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic060 You visit the Tops, and next thing you know, the head of the Chairmen is fleeing the Strip like a whimpering little pup? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic060 Then something happens to Mr. House's robots - some kind of military upgrade? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic060 But the topper, the {coo de gras, s" not silent}coup de gr�ce? Mr. House dies - while you're visiting him at the Lucky 38.{grunt of admiration}" VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic060 When you set your mind to something, you get results. I like that. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic060 {beat}...Relax. I'm fucking with you. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic065 {surprised}You destroyed the Brotherhood's bunker? {chuckle of admiration}Very well. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic065 I'll trust your word, and reward you as though you {playing with the language a bit}wreaked this destruction at my behest. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic065 Of course, if the Brotherhood should suddenly rise up to oppose my rule, you will be held responsible. {beat to let it sink in}Now, moving on... VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic066 Good. Two of my scouts have reported seeing patrols of men in power armor near Hidden Valley. Begin your search there. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic067 {irritated}If I say the Brotherhood should be destroyed, it's necessary. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic067 My Legion can win a fight against the Brotherhood of Steel, but it would be costly. Your job is to make sure there's no Brotherhood for us to fight. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic068 Is that so? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic069 Very well. This latest victory brings to a close my efforts to reshape the power balance of the Mojave - and not a minute too soon... VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic071 {no-nonsense}Then get yourself back there, and get it done. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic073 That's what I like to hear. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic073 One of my {froo-men-TAR-ee}Frumentarii has set up camp near Hoover Dam. His name his {KAY-toh Hos-TIL-ee-oos}Cato Hostilius. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic073 Go to him. He'll have further instructions. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic074 {setting player straight}I don't have to explain the reasoning behind my commands. I just give them - and you do them. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic074 That said, every once in a while I hear something so ignorant, I have to respond. This is one of those times. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic074 The Profligates' morale is in the shitter. They've occupied the Mojave for years, getting picked off one by one. They were told it'd be easy. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic074 They keep being told that victory is right around the corner, that Vegas will roll over, become the sixth state of their little union. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic074 It's President Kimball who's been telling them that. When he dies, the enormity of his lies will come crashing down, the punchline to a bad joke. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic075 Oh? You're going to {beat}defy me? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic076 We'll deal with Benny when the time comes. In the meantime... VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic076 We'll talk about the Platinum Chip when the time comes. In the meantime... VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic077 Maybe I should have you struck blind so my face is the last sight you ever behold. {tiring of the jest, to business}Look...{transitioning to You do know why I wanted to meet you VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic078 Praetorians, to arms! VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic079 {Pray-TOR-ee-ahns}Praetorians, to me! VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic080 [SUCCEEDED] Then go find some proper Surgical Tools. The medications from a Doctor's Bag might come in handy, too. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic080 I'll make sure you're allowed to bring the necessary medications into the camp. Hurry back. I don't know how long I've got. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic080 [FAILED] If you think this is funny, you should give crucifixion a try. Now that's hilarious. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic080 If you can't help me, who can? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic082 {controlled anger}When I command you to complete a mission, you will complete it, or you should die in the attempt. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic082 You lost me a great opportunity to deal a blow to the Profligates' morale. If not for the service you've rendered unto me, I'd have you crucified. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic082 I will overlook this error, but only because I think you can still be useful. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic086 And where is this Arcade? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic088 I want you to destroy whatever you find in there. And then I want you to come back here and tell me about it. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic088 So go to the building and take this {weary of it}fucking Platinum Chip with you. My Legionaries will meet you there, with your weapons and equipment. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic088 Talk to Benny on your way out. He knows I'm going to let you decide how he dies. Maybe you want to remind him. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic088 {Get your ass moving already}Goodbye. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic089 I'm not asking you to do this. I'm telling you. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic089 Now take the Platinum Chip, go down in that bunker or whatever it is, and destroy whatever gizmo-happy Brahmin shit you find. {business concluded}Now get to it. {WAH-lay}Vale. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic089 I'm not asking you to do this. I'm telling you. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic089 Now take the Platinum Chip, go to the bunker or whatever it is, and destroy whatever gizmo-happy Brahmin shit you find down there. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic089 And just in case you're thinking of {beat}slipping away, now that you've finally got that Platinum Chip in your hands? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic089 Go ahead, try that. And I'll have you hunted down, and your head mounted on a pole. {business concluded}Now get to it. {WAH-lay}Vale. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic090 I expect results sooner rather than later. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic093 {WUHL-pace in-CUHL-tah}Vulpes Inculta, the best of my {froo-men-TAR-ee}frumentarii, is dead. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic093 {player killed Omerta leaders}All the bribes I sent to the Omertas ended up buying me {beat}nothing. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic093 {Player spoiled his plans for the Great Khans.}The Great Khans aren't exactly clamoring to fight for my Legion now. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic093 The garrison I established at Nelson has been wiped out. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic093 Years of meticulous scheming to place a mole at Camp McCarran - wasted. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic093 The Kings of Freeside are cooperating with the NCR now, which frees up soldiers to defend the dam. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic093 You even disrupted a promising weapons deal with the Van Graffs. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic093 Is it any wonder my Legion has so little love for you? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic093 So tell me this, because I really want to know. I am feared - with good reason. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic093 But you - of all people - dare to come here and stand before me, the mighty {KAI-zar}Caesar. {beat}What were you thinking? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic094 You spread word of the massacre of Nipton, just like {WUHL-pace}Vulpes asked you. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic094 Beams of light shot down from the sky over HELIOS One, killing who knows how many Profligate troops. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic094 Silus, the {Ken-TOO-ree-on}Centurion who let himself get captured, died at McCarran before he could reveal sensitive information. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic094 You freed the {Ken-TOO-ree-on}Centurion Silus from McCarran so that he might be punished for his cowardice. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic094 The monorail that the Profligates rode from McCarran to the Strip has been destroyed. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic094 You turned Camp Forlorn Hope into a mass grave. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic094 Chief Hanlon, a nemesis of my Legion, died the humiliating death he deserved. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic094 In Boulder City, you let the renegade Khans go free, but left NCR troopers gurgling on the ground, drowning in their own blood. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic094 A number of NCR Ranger stations have been wiped off the face of the Mojave, thanks to you. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic094 {ironic}The Profligates still hate me more than they hate you, I think, but I've been at this longer than you have. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic094 I get it. We share a common enemy. And now you come before the mighty {KAI-zar}Caesar to what - offer your services? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic095 I have eyes and ears everywhere. {kind of obvious}It behooves me not to invade the west blind and deaf. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic095 It hasn't been hard to track your progress. It's not as though you've been keeping a low profile. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic096 I'll have my guards take him captive. If he cures my condition, I'll see to it that your reward is several times his value. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic097 Benny's theory, if I understood it through all the screaming, was that Mr. House stashed some kind of ultimate weapon down there. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic097 A gigantic robot to stomp us all to death, who cares? Whatever it is, House built it, so I want it destroyed. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic097 I don't know. And I don't like not knowing. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic097 {there's an alternate take with couldn't" instead of "can't"}I know Mr. House built it. I'm thinking it's probably some kind of weapon that he can't activate from a distance." VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic099 {pleased}I like the servile attitude. Keep it up. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic102 The time is fast approaching when my Legion will assault the great dam and invade the west. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic102 Before that happens, I want Mr. House knocked out of the game, a quick one-two punch - with you doing the punching. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic102 Before that happens, I want Mr. House erased from the picture. Not just the man you killed, but what he left behind. His legacy. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic105 Yes. But then I'd have to kill them. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic106 I wouldn't trust Benny to lick my boots clean. This one falls to you. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic108 You don't get it, do you? The weapons I wield are forged from blood, flesh, sinew, bone - mortal stuff. Fragile, even. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic108 And yet my Legion obeys me, even unto death. Why? Because they live to serve the greater good, and they know of no alternatives. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic108 House's machines, his technologies - what do they propose? The possibility of victory without sacrifice. No blood spilled, just... rivets. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic108 That's not an idea to be put in circulation. If mankind's going to survive this moment in history, it needs warriors, not {contempt}gadgets. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic109 All right. Just leave him outside the tent when you return. If he cures my condition, I'll see to it that your reward is several times his value. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic109 Be on your way, then. And try not to take too long. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic110 They'll be of no use to the Legion, then. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic110 You squandered a potentially valuable resource. {direct}Do better with your next assignment or there will be trouble... VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic111 It's been said that Auto-Docs were standard equipment in the underground Vaults where mankind survived when the bombs fell centuries ago. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic111 You can search the Vaults, but every Auto-Doc my Legion has run across has been stripped for parts long before we found it. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic111 {remembering, feeling hope}Some of my scouts did report an abandoned Vault near Nellis Air Force Base. Overrun by ghouls, they said. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic111 Maybe the infestation has been there long enough to keep scavengers out. Why don't you go and see? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic112 The Boomers settled at the old air base northeast of Vegas many years ago. No one knows exactly how long it's been. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic112 It may be that no one's traded with them or even spoken to them that entire time. If so, they're sitting on one hell of a stockpile of ammunition... VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic112 My scouts have seen people moving around the base. The perimeter is guarded, with spotters in towers directing the artillery fire. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic112 They must have extraordinary vision. Some of my scouts were targeted at extreme distances. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic112 So no, I can't tell you what to expect inside the base. No one's been inside it, except them. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic113 The worst impulses of mankind, concentrated in one insane, backward tribe. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic113 The Brotherhood seems to have formed not long after the great atomic war. It's hard to know - they care little for history. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic113 Some of the Brotherhood scribes we captured further East didn't even know the name of their founder, Roger Maxson. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic113 They like to pretty up their mission with trappings of chivalry, but the truth is they're horders. They horde technology. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic113 It's been 200 years, and they still have the mentality of scavengers. They say they're preserving these technologies, but for what? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic113 They have no vision. They offer no future. They're a dead end. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic113 You don't think very far ahead, do you? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic113 Sure, their hatred of the NCR would seem to qualify them for use as proxies. But then what do you do with them? Each paladin is quite powerful. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic113 I'd have to be convinced that present benefits outweighed future costs. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic114 A man of potential, held back by the {slight beat}craven political context he inhabits. You realize he was a general? The Hero of the Mojave VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic114 A title he earned by extirpating lesser tribes that dared attack NCR citizens. His responses were {approving}swift and draconian. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic114 President Tandi, the founding mother VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic114 And after a respectable military career, what does he do? Become a {distaste}politician. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic114 But he did so by {disapproving}election. What better way to stunt the growth of leaders, not to mention whole cultures? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic114 A leader shouldn't have to kowtow to those who serve him. With so much energy wasted on those below, how is he ever to move forward? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic114 Had he taken the government by force, used his army to stage a coup, things would be very different. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic114 I'll just have to do it for him. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic114 It'll frighten them. If I can reach out and kill whomever I choose, then they know the only reason they're alive is I haven't tried yet. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic114 You have to understand that Kimball is a symbol. Without him, there would be no NCR occupation of the Mojave. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic114 He mustered the troops - {distaste}as many as his senate would allow - and sent them in. All the right reasons, done all the wrong ways. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic114 Any invasion by a democracy is a half-measure. When Kimball dies, the NCR will {emphasis}recoil from the Mojave, and from his legacy. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic114 By the time they recover and try to strike back, I'll be invading them. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 {Lan-ee-OOS}Lanius is the greatest of my battlefield commanders. Some might call him a great man, but I'm not sure he qualifies. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 Once, he was the greatest warrior of the Hidebarks, a tribe of the Arizona. Maniacal in battle. Sometimes he'd ambush Legion patrols {emphasis}by himself. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 When, after several {emphasis, usually campaigns are faster}months we found and surrounded the Hidebarks' camp, their Chieftain raised a banner of surrender. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 The warrior who was not yet {Lan-ee-OOS}Lanius went insane with rage. {a pleasing memory}He struck down his Chieftain and attacked his own tribe. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 He killed fifteen before they brought him down. He didn't die, obviously. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 I had him tended to. He was {beat}maimed, most of face torn off. It was days before he regained consciousness. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 When he did, I went to his bedside and showed him the helmet I'd had forged to cover his face. I said he could have it if he'd fight for me. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 He accepted... on condition that he be allowed to kill the surviving males of his tribe. {chuckle}I said, make it the {emph}adult males and you have a deal.{Children are malleable and thus valuable to the Legion.} VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 {Lan-ee-OOS}Lanius is savage. Savagely loyal, too, but only to me - he has no love for my Legion. But this has its uses. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 He has no attachment to his men, no compunction about battlefield losses. All he cares about is destroying the enemy. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 When another legatus or a {Ken-TOO-ree-on}Centurion fails to achieve results, I send {Lah-nee-OOS}Lanius to make things right. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 His first step is to beat the failed commander to death in front of his assembled troops. Then he orders the ritual of {deck-ih-MAH-tee-oh}decimatio. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 It means decimation VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 The Legionaries are lined up in ranks. Every tenth man steps forward and is beaten to death by his brothers. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 It instills a certain... robust obedience. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 {Lan-ee-OOS}Yes. This time my Legionaries will be more frightened of the commander behind them than the enemy before them. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 There will be no failure this time, no retreat, no years of gathering slaves and resources for another assault. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 With {Lah-nee-OOS}Lanius to drive the Legion forward, the dam will be taken. It will be our {slight beat}bridgehead across the Colorado. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 It's not going to happen again. That's all I have to say about it. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic115 And I've heard it's a bad idea to tempt the wrath of {KAI-zar}Caesar. Change the subject. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic116 {WUHL-pace}Vulpes is the best of my {Froo-men-TAR-ee}Frumentarii. A remarkable individual from an unremarkable tribe south of the Utah. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic116 He was brought into the Legion as a boy, survived training, fought well enough as Legionary to be promoted to the rank of {deh-CAN-us}Decanus. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic116 Then, in battle against an {dismissive}unimportant tribe, he broke ranks and led his {con-too-BUR-nee-um - a Roman squad}contubernium through a hole in their defenses to capture its chieftain. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic116 {amused}Well, his {ken-too-REE-on}Centurion wanted him crucified for disobedience. So I made him a {froo-men-TAR-eye}Frumentari. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic116 Whatever I require. Infiltration, assassination, dramatic atrocities to break the spirit of the enemy - {souless, matter of fact}et {KEH-tur-ah}cetera. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic116 They're mentally flexible. They operate behind enemy lines for extended periods, imitating the enemy's customs without becoming {slight beat}sullied. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic116 In all these things, {WUHL-pace}Vulpes is a master. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic117 My Praetorians embody the martial ideals of my Legion. Each one of them has done enough conquering and killing to deserve the rank of {Ken-TOO-ree-on}Centurion. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic117 Instead, I invited them to join my guard. So the invitee chooses whichever current guard he thinks is weakest - and challenges him. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic117 The fight is to the death. It keeps them from getting complacent. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic117 Lucius has been the head of my guard for five years now. He was a subordinate guard for eight before that. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic117 No invitee has dared to challenge him yet. Maybe it's an issue of respect - he is getting on in years. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic118 {Lah-nee-OOS}Lanius will be waiting for you. Your arrival will signal to him that it's time to launch the attack. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic118 As for what to expect, it's going to be the greatest battle - and victory - mankind has seen since it almost wiped itself off the face of this Earth. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic118 Tactically, it's simple - kill and kill some more. I may have a few surprises in store for the NCR, but that won't concern you. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic119 {satisfied}Good. It will be valuable to have allies on the Strip when Hoover Dam is taken. {beat}Now, as for your next assignment... VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic124 {WAHL-ay}Vale. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic125 You've been resourceful in the past. Why are you a failure now? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic125 You'd best step up your performance with this next assignment... VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic127 Because he complicates the equation of force. He's a free agent, an unpredictable element. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic127 I'm sure he's trying to sit out this battle, just as he did four years ago, hoping the Legion and Profligates will wipe each other out. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic127 When he sees the Profligates losing this battle, however, he might throw his support behind them. Except he won't, because he'll be dead. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic128 Mark my words, you piece of shit. This is the last time you will ever refuse to perform an order I've given you. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic128 If you meant what you said, you best be on your way, and at good speed. And forget all that I could have given you. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic128 If you ever - ever - disobey me again, I will order my Praetorians to hack you to death with their machetes for my entertainment. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic128 I warned you about the price of disobedience. I guess you weren't listening. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic128 Praetorians! Kill this nuisance! VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic129 {what the fuck are you doing talking to me, then?}Then get to it. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic130 And what would that be? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic131 A perfectly satisfactory way of resolving the threat they posed. It's impressive that you made it through their barrage. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic131 Now, as for your next assignment... VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic132 Good. Make sure they help the Legion when the time comes. As for your next assignment... VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic133 {irritated - the solution is obvious}Then you'll have to be extraordinarily persuasive. Or kill them - their leaders, at least. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic133 Get to it, will you? You're wasting my time. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic134 So what you're telling me is, you're useless. You have no ability to influence events, so I'm forced to work around your incompetence. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic134 Try to do better with your next assignment... VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic135 Months spent feeding the Omertas bribes, nursing their betrayal - all for nothing. Any other crimes? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic137 Weeks of effort to convince those miserable Khans to join the Legion - ruined. Any other crimes? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic138 And so you wiped out the garrison I placed at Nelson? That strategically vital garrison? {beat}What else? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic139 Do you have any idea how much effort it took to place a mole at Camp McCarran? What else have you done? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic140 Understand this. From this moment forward, any other crimes will be punished by death. No exceptions. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic140 I will have you hacked into pieces by my Praetorians - for my amusement. Understand? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic140 Now getting back to business... VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic141 That's right. Under normal circumstances, the reason it wouldn't happen again is that you'd be crucified - or worse. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic141 Only in light of the extraordinary service you've rendered unto me am I going to overlook this failure. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic141 Bear in mind how much you have to make up for, how much you have to prove yourself in your next task... VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic142 What else, then? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic143 What did you just say? VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic146 Benny is my prisoner. You don't deal with him" unless you've dealt with me." VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic146 {I can read your mind}Don't worry, you'll get the Platinum Chip he was carrying. And then you'll use it like I tell you to. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic147 {putting player in his/her place}You should be listening, that's what you should be doing. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic147 {keeping player in his/her place}That's right, you should be going - because you have work to do. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic150 Oh, I'll give you the Platinum Chip. And then you'll use it exactly like I tell you to. VDialogueCaesarFortCaesarTopic152 Do that. And try not to take too long. vDialogueCaesarOnWayToChair {irritated}Let me get to my chair. vDialogueCaesarOnWayToChair {even more irritated}I said, let me get to my chair. vDialogueCasinoCashiervCashierTheTopsTopic000 You'll need someone to watch your back - Craig Boone, an NCR sniper, will be joining you. Keep your head down out there! vDialogueCasinoCashiervCashierTheTopsTopic009 How many chips would you like? vDialogueCasinoCashiervCashierTheTopsTopic010 Here's your chip. Is there anything else I can help you with? vDialogueCasinoCashiervCashierTheTopsTopic011 Here's your chips. Is there anything else I can help you with? vDialogueCasinoCashiervCashierTheTopsTopic012 Here's your chips.

Will there be anything else? vDialogueCasinoCashiervCashierTheTopsTopic039 Very well. Will there be anything else? vDialogueCasinoCashiervCashierTheTopsTopic046 Enjoy your stay at The Tops. VDialogueCassCassTopic000 Well, keep those eyes up and turning - or I'll set 'em spinning. VDialogueCassCassTopic000 Got no time for gawkers... {threatening}or anyone looking for something I ain't selling. VDialogueCassCassTopic001 {Slight sneer}Your business, huh? Now there's a store worth tending. VDialogueCassCassTopic001 You run along now... judging by that busted pilot light expression you're fixed with, business" ain't so good." VDialogueCassCassTopic002 Got no time or answers for you. {Snorts}Ask a drifter in need of a few caps, they'll give you all the answers you need. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic000 {Irritated}Where? Like Vegas? Chewed and spit enough friends out. East? Get put in one of Caesar's little camps?" No thanks." VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic000 Head back West? I already know the Big Circle and everyone in it - 'cept now I go back there, ruined. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic000 {Thinking}Never really realized how small the Mojave's getting nowadays, hard to find a place to go to that's worthwhile. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic001 {Drunk out of her skull}Oh my fucking god... get away from me, all three... four of you, don't need your... VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic001 Oh god, I think I'm going to be sick, and you... you look fine. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic001 {Surprised}Well, guess you're a little tougher than I thought... still, looks like you're feeling it, eh, slick? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic001 You... you all right? You took a little spill there, one moment you're smiling, then... VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic002 Still, Jackson's not letting me out of his sight as long as there's still trouble up North. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic002 You settle things with him, help the others around here, too, I'll sign the paper if it means getting out of here. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic002 {Resolved, sigh}Walking the Mojave with you can't be any worse than here, that's for sure. All right, I'm in. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic002 Now, onto settle accounts with Gloria Van Graff. Putting her down would suit me just fine. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic002 Might be a little tougher than the Crimson Caravan - Van Graffs are like a nest of rattlers, and the guns they've got are Brotherhood-caliber. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic002 Now, onto settle accounts with Alice McLafferty. Putting her down - that would suit me just fine. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic002 Can't wait to see the look on her face when I show up. She'll know why. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic002 Payback's a bitch, ladies, and between Gloria and Alice, that settles accounts, as far as I'm concerned. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic002 Hope they're in hell right now, blinking, trying to figure out where they fucked up. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic002 My point before? Is that you know the Mojave, and it's a hard place. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic003 {Disbelief}They want to buy Cassidy Caravans? Don't they know it's burned to ash? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic003 {Wary}No... even times being what they are, not sure I'm looking to sell, even for all the whiskey in Reno. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic004 {Frowns, sighs}Mojave happened - hit by raiders packing some heavy firepower. Can't believe the Crimson Caravan haven't heard. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic004 So if you want to buy all of Cassidy Caravans, you're looking at it - and what I got in my pockets. Still, as little as that is, not looking to sell. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic007 If someone came up to you and offered you a thousand caps for your {emph}name, would {emph}you take it? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic007 Actually, you know what, fuck it, I don't want to hear your answer anyway. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic007 Point is, I made the caravan what it is, it's mine. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic008 {Studying letter}Alice McLafferty, eh? No, I see the zeroes... and I know she's good for them. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic008 Still, it's not about the money. Dad'd spin like a twister if he ever heard I sold our name for anything. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic009 [SUCCEEDED] {Impressed}You're obviously putting your money where your mouth is - on top of that offer letter, that is a lot of caps. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic009 {Hesitating}Still... what makes you think that's enough. What, you think I'm cheap? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic009 [FAILED] Just a name?" {Scoffs}You obviously don't know me at all to {sarcastic}sweet talk me like that." VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic009 {As if to a child}You take your letter, pay my respects to Alice, then kindly go fuck yourself. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic010 [SUCCEEDED] You challenging me? Serious now. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic010 All right, you come here, armed with whiskey, we'll make a sport of it. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic010 And none of that radioactive shit, I'm talking whiskey, not Dixon Whiskey - whiskey. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic010 [FAILED] You are definitely barking up the wrong bar stool. Whatever you're suggesting, {emph}not interested. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic011 Old name? What old name? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic013 All right, it's a deal, hand over that paper. Hnh. Can't believe I'm parting with it. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic013 {Signing}All right... there you go, caravan's yours. {Beat}Feel kind of relieved, actually. Guess I didn't realize how much I was carrying around with just the name. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic014 So you're telling me, I could take this money you're offering, give them nothing, and then go on to strike up another caravan, same as before? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic014 {Disbelieving}What kind of fucking negotiator are you? {Impressed}Hope Alice knows the kind of snake she's got working for her. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic022 [SUCCEEDED] {Low, angry}{emph}What did you just say to me? Cause you sure as hell got my attention now. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic022 [FAILED] Yeah, yeah I will, and you sure as hell aren't taking it. Can't believe I was even listening to you. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic023 Hnh. Maybe you're right. Brimmed hats always throw me off. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic023 Well, fine, whatever, they can be shaking each other's dicks, wouldn't change the Mojave now. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic025 Look, I know you came all this way, and that takes some drive, especially these days. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic025 Just doesn't feel right, trading history for a slip of paper. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic026 [SUCCEEDED] That... that's a good point, it's the caravan clearance that's got me stuck here. I'm sure this bar's getting tired of propping me up. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic026 [FAILED] I got a bar, men who don't say a word, and plenty of whiskey, I'm fine. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic028 Me, that's who. I'm not going to let it go just yet. There... there might be some survivors... or... VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic028 Who am I kidding. There's nothing left, and I wouldn't be here, drinking in some shitty bar in the ass end of nowhere if it wasn't true. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic030 {Blinks}That's fair. {Beat}But there's been that voice inside me saying the same thing, and whiskey wasn't killing it. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic030 {Sad}Give me that paper, I'll put my name to it. No sense trying to hold the past between your fingers when it's nothing but dirt. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic033 {Takes a breath}Guess that settles that, then. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic034 Another?! VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic034 {Winding Down}No... no, I... you got me beat. I'm done, caravan's yours. Give me that paper, I'll... phew... put my name to it. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic035 {Echoing}A man who shot you. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic036 You want... want to drink more? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic037
All right, all right, you just hang on to the bar here... that's it.
VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic037 Didn't take you for the toughest courier in the West when you walked in, but you walked all the way to the Outpost, so at least you have guts. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic038 {Sighs}That's the question I been asking myself. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic040 Take care now. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic041 {Slightly confused}No idea. Maybe... head back West? Though the idea of heading back there with my tail between my legs isn't appealing. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic043 I'll be waiting, then. {Beat, smiling}And training. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic044 All right then, I already got a head start, but I'll go first anyway. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic045 All right then, I already got a head start, but I'll go first anyway. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic046 You know you put up a good fight. I'm impressed. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic046 Thing is, I really just wanted an excuse to drink - should last me for a while. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic046 Might just be the whiskey talking, but I think I might feel a whole lot better leaving the caravan business behind me... VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic046 Makes me a little teary-eyed, but now I've got a bottle to put 'em in. Hand over that paper, I'll put my name to it. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic049 Awwww. Now ain't that sweet. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic051 Was reminded why I left this place soon as I walked in. {Nods}Let's go. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic054 Deep? {Laughs, then matter of fact}Ain't deep by half. Closed down the bar yesterday, going to close it again today - rinse and repeat. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic055 A sober woman might take insult at that. {Serious}Me, I might just bust you one. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic055 If you ain't drinking, then leave. If you're making to see if I'm an easy lay, I got a caravan shotgun that'll cure that desire right quick. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic056 How about a drink?" How about a {emph}couple VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic057 I'm fair with chucking dynamite {rising smugness}and not bad with a pistol, if I do say so myself. {Beat, a little lower}Carry a knife, too, but that's more for practical reasons. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic057 Prefer settling things with my fists, though. Made more friends than corpses in bar fights - plan on keeping it that way. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic057 {Frowns, a little defensive}Don't think I'm some kind of Vault City pacifist, though - if things get heated, I'll start shooting, trust me. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic058 Short of caps is what taught me, mostly. Ammo's expensive... so I learned to make every shot count. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic058 And hear tell, my Dad was a crack shot, so I don't want to dirty the family name. Not out of pride - respect. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic059 Dynamite's for when you don't have enough bullets, want to clear a pass, or scare off Geckos from a caravan. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic059 Some of the twisters out of the Divide can block off a pass in no time, so you learn how to handle powder so you don't get trapped somewhere. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic059 Any event, I prefer shooting if it comes down to an argument. Don't worry, I'll carry my weight if a disagreement arises. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic062 Fine, then, not trying to pry. Just wondering what would make a Courier run around the desert without a contract is all. Forget I asked. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic063 {Echoing}And you got better. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic065 {Incredulous}It's the company?" That has {emph}got to be the biggest load of Brahmin shit I've ever heard." VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic065 Still, if you got more like that... VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic066 Jackson might have something for you, if you haven't already spoken to that old buzzard. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic066 He was looking to try and get troops to clear the north road. You can find him over in the other building - the one without a bar. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic067 Sounds good to me. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic068 So you're looking for someone to help, not just tag along? Hnh. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic069 What, you mean like spears? No, none of that. Mom was a tribal, but she didn't teach me anything like that. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic070 You know, like one of the tribes from the East - we got 'em out West, too. NCR's herding 'em up, though, domesticating them. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic070 Mom was from East of the Colorado, though, not sure what tribe. Was before the time Caesar rounded them up, made them Legion. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic070 She walked a hell of a way until she crossed paths with my Dad and he convinced her to stop walking. And lucky for me, he was a horny old bastard. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic071 Not much to tell. He ended up walking East one day when I was young and never came back. Not a family deserter like some, though. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic071 Mom died waiting for him, and she had me to raise. She was sick but she held off dying until I was old enough to be getting into trouble with boys. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic071 As for Dad, I figure he just got himself lost or dead. {Shrugs}Happens... and I'm not all boo-hoo about it, so save your glass for someone who's crying. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic072 Not a clue. When he left, I was too in my crib to understand why, and around the time Mom passed, I was too into my teens to listen. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic072 Got his name, got this pendant, and that's about it. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic073 Gift from my Dad, along with my name. {Wistful}Rose of Sharon Cassidy. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic073 Mom said he got the name out of some Old World book about dirt pilgrims. {Beat}Name sure sounds sweet, though. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic073 Anyway, pendant's a little rose. Originally thought it was one of Mom's tribal necklaces, but no, came from Dad. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic075 Well, keep it away from me, won't have anything to do with it. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic076 My father had heart problems, and it ran down the family tree to me. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic076 Not looking to have my heart skip its last beat, even if I considered putting that junk in my system, which I don't. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic079 {Sarcastic}Oh, that's got just the right bite of judgment to it, stings a little, too. {Beat}Did you hear that from a Followers preacher? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic079 I bet you could preach all day, who knows what other little bits of wisdom might spill out. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic080 Go with you? {Thinking}And why the hell would I do that. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic080 You got one too many by my count. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic081 Didn't ask Mom to elaborate. Never heard her complain about his bedroom behavior, only complain he wasn't around to do it no more. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic082 {Player's got a point}Hnh. The Outpost lost its charm about three bottles ago, and that was just this morning. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic083 So fighting boredom is your argument, huh? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic084 {Sarcastic}Aside from the TV-faced robots, the dust, and the old man smell in every room? Nothing, it's a paradise. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic084 {Uneasy}This place has the Old World Blues about it. Everything in here feels like it should have passed on a long time ago. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic084 Hell, it's hard to believe Vegas is right outside. So, yeah, I'm looking to leave whenever you're ready. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic085 {Relieved to be leaving}Thank god, the sooner the better. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic086 Not sure if I chose it or it chose me. {Beat}Dad ran a bar a long time ago, and it was a labor of love, Mom said. Didn't sound like it made her happy. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic086 Still, I'm guessing I got some of Dad's love of whiskey in me, because the burn suits me fine. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic086 Used to call me Whiskey Rose" back West VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic087 Yeah, on account of my name... and the blossoms on my cheeks when I drink too much. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic087 Won most of those fights, too. Can take a hell of a punch and give it right back when I've got a bottle in me. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic087 It's all in how you drink it, though - there's a trick to it. {Beat, nods}When we pass the bottle, I'll show you how it's done. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic088 Yeah, he's been with NCR so long all he can see is the worst outcome of everything - so he doesn't do anything. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic091 All right? No, I'm not all right. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic091 Drinking to forget, and it's only getting me mad instead. Whiskey always gets my temper up - now more than ever. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic091 Drinking used to cause all sorts of trouble back West - before I punched enough people, that is, and they learned to lay low when the whiskey hit. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic093 Lost my caravan heading north, the driver burned to ash - and they didn't even take the cargo, they just burned that, too. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic094 Yeah, if you couldn't tell, I'm not from around here and I'm not NCR. I run a caravan... or did. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic095 Don't worry, not looking to throw punches just yet. {Beat}And something tells me hitting you would be a mistake I wouldn't want to repeat. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic096 My guess is Legion, they're trying to cut NCR's supply line... and the Mojave Outpost is proof. Got us locked up tighter than a New Vegas virgin. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic096 No caravans in, out, and just {emph}try arguing with Jackson about it. Roads aren't safe VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic096 No shit, you washed-out old fuckup, I didn't need a Brotherhood Scribe to tell me that. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic099 NCR officer, trooper, whatever - runs the place. He's over in the main building, the one {emph}without a bar. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic099 Jackson won't let me head north, it's not safe... and even though my caravan's gone, my caravan {emph}papers are keeping me here. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic099 So if you came here for work, {emph}my advice? Go find the Crimson Caravan branch, south of Vegas. {Bitter, emph}They can help you out. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic100 Drink. Got a lot of memories to drown. If I die while doing it, so be it. Got nowhere else to go. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic101 Sure am. Burned for the last time, and this time, it's for good. Worse, it's not done kicking me - I'm still {emph}trapped here. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic102 Yeah, well, you {emph}aren't me, so good-for-fucking-you. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic103 Trouble's already come and went, so anything {emph}you bring will make my next drink go down easier. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic104 {Blinks}No shit? Drink's on me, then. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic104 Still, not like I'm going anywhere. Caravan title's still keeping me here, even though it's dead and gone. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic105 You're looking at it. It's a watering hole without much to brag about. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic105 It's like a Brahmin drive gone wrong - supposed to be a gate north, but you come here, you get caught in the pen. Better to head back home. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic105 If you don't have a gun and a will, don't matter much what you do when you reach here, except stare at that fucking monument outside. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic106 Don't even tell me you missed it coming in. It's like NCR showing its dick to all the East. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic106 If the Republic put as much effort into protecting the East as they put into those two asinine giants outside, then they'd be {emph}worth that monument. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic106 {Shakes head}Statues of two men shaking hands covered in blood don't seem to be nothing to brag about. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic107 {Slight exasperation}I'm speaking figurative, isn't any blood on their damn hands. {Beat, to herself, serious}Course, when Caesar comes walking through here, there'll be blood for real. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic107 And after the blood dries in the sun, he'll melt that piece of Jet-induced sculpture down, and reshape it into a bull. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic107 Which by my reckoning is making up for a deficiency of his. But no matter what the state of his pecker, he's sure giving the West a good fucking. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic108 {Irritated, doesn't much care}One's a ranger, one's an NCR trooper, supposed to represent unification of West and East... or some such shit. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic108 As far as those two iron lovebirds go, they've got more spine than you'll see in a year from the NCR government. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic109 Jean-Baptiste?" Sounds like someone got knocked out of the good book so hard his name broke." VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic109 {To herself, Canadarian" is intentional fuckup}Either that or it's Canadarian or some such shit. {Frowns VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic111 Two shots in the head without an Auto-Doc is a lot of patching. Hope you thanked him properly. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic111 Who's this snake that put bullets in your head? Did he have cause, or...? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic112 Whiskey and me are old friends, keeps me going when times get rough. Like now. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic112 Got me into the caravan business, you know - had to start transporting water instead of liquor, though. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic112 If I hadn't switched over, I'd end my trip with nothing but glass bottles rattling on the back of the Brahmin. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic113 If you're looking to sign on with a caravan, no - traders are bottled up tight here. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic113 Caravan work's up north, check with the Crimson Caravan, maybe. Gun Runners might have work, wouldn't know for sure, though. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic113 Still, if you got a gun, guts, and feeling like going on patrol, might be some of the soldiers around here have work for you. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic114 I don't know, seems to be a lot of attention on Nipton. Word is, one of the snipers in the nest on the roof spotted smoke from the East. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic115 Yeah, her name's... Ghost or something... {mocking}fucking scary, ooooooh. {Sarcastic}Guess it's cause you'll never see her 'til your dead. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic115 NCR and their goddamn nicknames, as if Caesar himself's gonna piss and run if he hears them. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic115 Anyway, go on and head up top, ask her what's going on, if you haven't already. I don't much give a shit. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic116 So he robbed you? Robbing a courier's low, and any family or group he's with is going to get a black eye for it. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic116 Caravan code of the wastes is you don't fuck with the one who brings you your mail, and you don't fuck with your supply line. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic116 Hope this shithead knows what he's in for. From both of us... what's his name? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic118 {Slight incredulous that the player would be dismissive of being shot}Well if it wasn't before, it is now. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic118 Did he bother to introduce himself, or did he not take you for somebody who'd get up again when killed? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic119 {Frowns}Can't say I've heard the name. Or heard about any man dressed like a seat cover. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic120 Bad suit, huh? Well, if assholes had taste, we'd all be feasting on shit. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic120 Still... suit means money, and suits stand out, especially here in the Mojave. One of the larger towns, or Vegas, might be the place to go. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic120 {Cold}Don't you worry, though, we'll sort this asshole out, rattle his cage a little. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic121 Fine, I will, jackass. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic121 You can have your shit back, I don't need it or want it. You go your way, I'm going mine. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic121 And don't try looking for me - it was a mistake to show up in the Mojave in the first place, and I'm not about to repeat that mistake twice. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic123 Does it come with its own Deathclaw? Trust me, if you can't see it, something just as nasty's waiting. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic123 Whole Lucky 38... the idea that there's this casino in the middle of a town of people, and only you're ever let inside? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic123 {To herself}Feels like other places I've been. Something that isolated from everyday folks starts to take on a bad shine. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic124 {Cold}You son of a bitch. {Beat}You know, I was just going to give you a piece of my mind and now? Now I'm going to put you down. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic125 Who you are comes from the choices you make when life {emph}gets tough. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic125 So if you're saying that life is dragging you down, I don't buy it. You better start changing your attitude, or I'm heading back West, you hear? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic126 {Surprised}You're seriously going to draw on me? Fine, do it, see what happens. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic127 [SUCCEEDED] {Hesitating}Well... all right. I'll stick around for a little while longer, but if you get out of line again... VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic127 [FAILED] That's your excuse? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic128 [SUCCEEDED] {Hesitating}Well... all right. I'll stick around for a little while longer, but if you get out of line again... VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic128 [FAILED] That's your excuse? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic129 [SUCCEEDED] {Hesitating}I'll hold you to that promise, then. I'm not known for my patience, though. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic129 [FAILED] {Scoffs}Inside? Yeah, must be deep inside, all right. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic130 [SUCCEEDED] {Hesitating}All right... maybe I was a little harsh. I can be that way. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic130 [FAILED] Trying's the same thing as giving up, the way you're saying it. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic131 You need to be tougher. If you let the Mojave get you down, then you've given up on life. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic131 So straighten out, stop being so shifty and... {struggles to find the words for the player's evil}downright mean, and see if that doesn't change your outlook. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic134 Fuck that. You can walk the road to hell on your own. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic141 {Blinks}No shit? Drink's on me, then. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic141 Still, not like I'm going anywhere. Caravan title's still keeping me here, even though it's dead and gone. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic142 I don't know, seems to be a lot of attention on Nipton. Word is, one of the snipers in the nest on the roof spotted smoke from the East. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic143 Started? Took to it like a fish to water... {hesitant}well, if you know what a fish is. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic144 It's this... slimy, scaled thing, like a Lakelurk, except no legs. Well, most times. They're like birds, except they stay underwater. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic144 Anyway, I've seen pictures. One guy even had one above his bar in Redding, except it was made of Pre-War plastic. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic144 Used to say it could sing, but I figured he was on a Jet rush. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic145 {Suddenly unsure}Well... of course I do. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic146 Actually, it sort of fell on me. My feet get antsy if I stay in one place, like the Mojave Outpost. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic146 Was driving me crazy, that feeling of being trapped there, so thanks for that. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic147 Yeah. West, East - and passed through places enough times people would sometimes pay me some caps to take something to the next town. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic148 Well, not as glamorous, I guess - roads back West were safer in most places. {Beat, to herself}Most. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic148 Anyway, occurred to me I could scratch the traveling itch and get paid for it. Cassidy Caravans formed around me, rest is history. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic149 Well, I'm not one for soft living... or soft men, let me tell you. I'm guessing neither are you. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic149 Well, I'm not one for soft living or soft men, let me tell you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be talking to you right now - on both counts. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic150 {Frowns}What? {Beat}Oh. Damn, no offense meant. Sometimes I get so drunk, I don't care who I share a bed with, so that's fine with me. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic150 My point before? Is that you know the Mojave, and it's a hard place. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic151 Well, don't let the soldiers drink too much, and I'd agree with you most time. Fucking whiskey dicks. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic153 {Frowns}What? {Beat}Oh. All right. {Beat}Guess you've got a Legion outlook on things. No problems here, there's a lot more of that in the Mojave than you see. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic154 Don't take that as anything more than my words. {Teasing}I bet you're a real sweetheart the way you leave that trail of broken-hearts behind you. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic154 I know your look, you probably {emph}say all the right things... so we're clear, nothing's going to happen between us. You'd best respect that. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic155 Much as anyone else. Cazador trap - you fly in, the city sucks a pint out of you, then you're out on the street. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic155 NCR makes a habit of going there and dumping cash, only the Strip gets fat off it. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic155 Couldn't tell you much more than that. Not really one for New Vegas when there's enough dumpwater bars in the Mojave to last me. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic156 {Raises an eyebrow}The Caravan fighting here in the Mojave... it's been downright brutal. The amount of caravan space you reserve for ammo alone... VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic156 {Sighs}And if it's not raiders, Powder Gangers, it's NCR tolls. They need to get the money from somewhere, even if it's Vegas-bound. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic157 Anyone wise does. Vegas families pay on time, from what I've heard - even the Omertas. The White Gloves pay on time, but they're... creepy. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic157 Deal with anyone else, though, you're taking a big risk. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic158 {Suspicious}Well, no idea why your friend Mr. House wants it, but I'm guessing it's not for the caps. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic158 {Impressed}Must've been one huge metal Bighorner that crapped that chip out. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic158 My guess? Leads to a big cashout at some casino - and if the 38" on it is any indication... well... Lucky 38 it is." VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic159 {Defensive, a little angry - hates these guys}The Legion? What about them? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic159 {Slight anger}I don't trade caps or supply anyone who keeps slaves, and treats women like Brahmin in those... camps" of theirs." VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic160 Look, not meaning to fly off the handle like that. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic161 There's some caravans that deal with the Legion, yes. And as much as it pains me to say it, any caravan marked by the Legion is safe as houses. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic161 They guard their roads, their supply lines - even Fiends would hesitate before going after any trader dealing with Legion. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic162 I am. If NCR took the same stand and committed patrols to the roads, then I think that'd solve a lot of their problems right there. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic162 But they don't. Caravans get butchered in the Mojave all the time, like mine. And so fucking close to Vegas, you could see it from the wall. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic164 NCR tries. It's just that trying doesn't mean a whole lot when you're paying your respects to the dead. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic164 And Legion, from what I've heard, they don't do the stop tolls" on the roads or in the outposts like some NCR quartermasters do." VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic164 You're lucky if you turn a profit sometimes if some new officer gets assigned a route, the fees just get worse. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic165 Much as I hate the Legion, caravan life would be a hell of a lot easier if they ran the roads. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic165 {Thinking about it again}Well, as long as those companies were run by men. And that's the biggest issue I see. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic165 And it's a shame, but I think there's people on the NCR side who feel more strongly than I do. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic166 NCR's my country, and I support it. Anyone who says otherwise, I'll feed them my knee. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic166 I know which side of the firing line I'm on in the Mojave, just so you know. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic167 Yeah, there is. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic168 I'm not some blind, flag-saluting do-as-they-will NCR lover. They're family, but let me tell you what family means. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic168 You ever had a brother? Some dumbass younger brother, say, who knocked up the pastor's daughter, can't hold a job, and his home-away is a jail cell? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic168 That's NCR. Their compass is spinning, all the time. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic169 They try to put their stake in everything they see. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic169 Nobody's dick's that long, not even Long Dick Johnson, and he had a fucking long dick. Thus, the name. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic170 So NCR, tries to hold on to everything. They can't, because it's too big for them to get their arms around. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic170 They can't guard the roads, they can't put a line of troops around the Mojave... it's just greed that makes the heads back West even try. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic172 Aside from the people in the towns, it's the soldiers that suffer for it most. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic172 Ever seen NCR troops asked to go after gangs at three-to-one odds? That bear flag doesn't make them bulletproof. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic172 And when those gangs were caused by NCR in the first place, like the Powder Gangers? Caesar on a crutch, don't get me started there. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic173 Look, don't get me wrong. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic173 I wouldn't want the Brotherhood or the Followers or the Vegas families running the Mojave, all of them are a different kind of fuck-up. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic173 NCR just has some shaping up to do. Maybe Caesar kicking them in the nuts is a nice wake-up call, is all I'm saying. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic173 I just wish Caesar would kick the heads of NCR, not the feet. {Beat}I've fucked a soldier in my time - they don't need to get fucked by their orders. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic174 Look... and what I'm about to say, I don't mean as any offense to you, I know where your sympathies lie. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic175 Some caravans deal with the Legion now because the security. If towns could get the same protection? A lot more tempting than you'd think. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic175 A bunch of people would be willing to side with the Legion to not have to worry about Fiends and Boomers and Powder Ganger attacks. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic175 {Sad}It's not hard for some folks to sell freedom when the alternative is worse. Especially if being with NCR is going to get you on a Legion cross. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic177 Oh, I'm sure. Killing never felt so good, could almost hear the dead behind me guiding my hand. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic177 Now that that bitch is in hell, they'll have a shot at her, too. So what are we waiting for? We've got more work to do. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic178 {Grim, pleased}Music to my ears. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic180 {Takes a breath}Yeah... yeah, I am. Never realized had all that anger in me. {Beat, cold}Makes me wonder how much more I can settle with bullets. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic180 You know, when I first heard about them, I was so mad, but there was this little part of me that said, you can't do to them what they did to you."" VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic180 I say fuck that part. I feel purified, and I love the fact that there's no more loose ends. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic181 That's it. {Beat}Except for one thing... thanks. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic181 Not many people in my company would have done what you did for me without some hesitation or asking me to cool down. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic181 But you backed me, even when the odds were against us. Words aren't enough, but - thanks. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic183 Feels... I don't know. I guess I feel relieved. I don't know what I feel. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic183 Wait, that's not true. I think the NCR back West, when riled, is going to be the worst enemy the Van Graffs and the Crimson Caravan ever had. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic183 They're all so mired in procedure and paper out there, the kind of evidence we gave is going to be worse than shooting them. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic183 I think that settles accounts with me - and my men. {Beat}That was some tricky political maneuvering, but worth it, even if it takes a few years. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic184 No... no, I know. Just hard to say how I feel right now. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic186 Don't care much for which one we kill first, whether settling accounts with McLafferty or making that bitch Gloria eat her hair. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic186 The Van Graffs are going to be tougher, so we'll likely get killed there. If we go to the Crimson Caravan camp, we'll just need a lot of bullets. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic186 Still, we give the Van Graffs the what-for, that means all those guns they used on my caravan - we can take and use on the Crimson Caravan. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic187 NCR? Are you out of your fucking mind? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic187 That'd take years... and with the war with the Legion, no way they're going to waste time running up the Crimson Caravan or the Van Graffs! VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic187 And what makes you think any evidence can be found? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic188 All right, if you poke around the Van Graffs and Alice, fine. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic188 But if I see either one, go into their camp? I'm going to start shooting, no matter what you find. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic190 So there's just one more safe to crack? Hope you can get to it. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic190 {Frowns}Say what you will about the two leading ladies, they watch their lockers like crows. Still... you got one, so the other might not be impossible. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic190 If you get both, then let's talk. {Beat}And... I appreciate you putting yourself at risk like this. Thanks. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic191 {Impressed}No shit. There it is, the blood, the motive, as clear as day. They must have penned these with snake venom. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic191 But... we got it, now what? Sure, this damns them, but only if someone listens. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic192 I held off on filling them full of holes, so unless you give me a good reason to cool my heels soon, I'm not waiting much longer. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic193 {Blinks}You're saying... they might need to do the same thing to each other some day. And evidence is easier than bullets. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic194 {Blinks}No... No, I'd agree with that. And Alice and Gloria are two crows that'd keep something like that in their nest. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic196 {Blinks}Well... Jackson in the Mojave Outpost could get it to folks in the West. I wouldn't trust anyone closer to the Colorado. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic196 {Thinking}And the Crimson Caravan and the Van Graffs have their heart back West. {Beat}Not sure it'll do any good, though. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic197 All right, let's do it, listen to what he has to say. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic200 {Sighs}Up side of Vegas, hear tell. Trapped at the Mojave Outpost, so I wasn't able to run there when I heard. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic200 Been weeks since it was hit, so the site's probably a Cazador nest by now. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic201 Got word back on what happened from Rangers, guess they found enough in the wreckage to identify it. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic202 {Sighs}Only wishful thinking on my part, most likely. At the least, I'd like to pay my respects. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic202 {To herself, downnote}I got them into this mess, I owe them that much. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic204 Well, I still wouldn't mind going there and crossing my heart a few times, if only to make me feel a bit better. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic204 {To herself, downnote}I got them into this mess, I owe them that much. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic205 Thanks, I appreciate it. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic205 Some of the caravan might be ash, but we were expecting raiders and over-inquisitive NCR border guards. There might be something left. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic205 If I'm there with you, shouldn't be hard to spot. And I'd prefer to see the bodies with my own eyes. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic206 Well, you have to know what to look for. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic208 No idea. Maybe catch the sun in their eyes? Maybe they wanted the caravan to come to them, walk into an ambush? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic208 We should check the wagon, they may not have got everything. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic208 Whatever we find, it's yours - least I can do for hoofing it all this way with me. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic210 Not much, and I haven't had occasion to look for anything more than that. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic210 I've heard what most people know... he's said to run New Vegas, he runs the robots, but... well, no one's really seen him. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic210 Well, except you, that is. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic210 Of course, no one really will now that he's dead. Good thing, too, no idea what that contraption was on his pecker. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic210 So if he wants to see you... well, that's a rare thing I wouldn't turn down. I'd ask him some hard questions if I were you. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic211 Not sure, let's look around. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic212 Yeah, it's a ways, though, hell of a detour. You sure? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic216 Yeah, something's wrong, I can feel it. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic216 It's not any closer than the first, so if you'd rather let be, let me know. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic217 All right then, let's move out. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic218 Don't have to tell me twice, feel more alive than I ever have. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic220 {Thinking}The only Van Graffs I know are the ones out West - well, except for Gloria Van Graff, and I don't know her all that well, nor do I want to. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic220 Don't have any objections speaking with him, though if he's with the Van Graffs, he should know I'm not looking to buy weapons. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic221 Don't matter much how we settle this, as long as it gets settled. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic222 No... still eating at me, though. Wouldn't mind taking another look. Something's off. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic222 I think we should explore the next one, see what's up. Got my curiosity riled. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic223 Nothing yet, but... something's there. Just got to look around and find it. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic224 Not sure yet, something's definitely wrong. They were massacred, we should look around, find out why. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic225 I'm already shadowing you, aren't I? Lead on, I'll follow. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic225 Ask me to come with you, I'll think about it on the way. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic225 Not leaving here until my caravan papers clear, or my title goes away. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic225 If you were looking for someone to caravan with, I'd try the Crimson Caravan up north. They pretty much run the roads now. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic225 Don't know, not sure where to head to next. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic226 There's usually a bar in every stop along the road. Helps me sleep. Well, not really, but I tell myself that. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic226 Sometimes I have to brew it myself if I'm too far from a bar. Not quality, but I'm for anything that takes the edge off the day. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic227 Yeah, what else you going to do with an empty bottle? Wait for it to refill itself? VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic227 Get me some ingredients out of the Mojave, an empty bottle, a little time, and I'll keep us stocked. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic228 {Warning}Look, no guarantee on the quality, only the results. And don't drink too much of this stuff or you might go blind. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic228 All right, I'll start brewing. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic228 Here you go. Go easy on it until you train yourself to choke back the urge to gag. After a few bottles and the vomiting, it ain't so bad. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic229 Don't have all the ingredients you need - come back when you have 'em, and I'd be happy to get something cooking. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic230 {Takes a breath}Guess that settles that, then. VDialogueCassRoseofSharonCassidyTopic232 Don't matter much how we settle this, as long as it gets settled. VDialogueChrisHaversamChrisHaversamTopic000 The great one can be found upstairs. Don't think about wasting his time. He's very important. You should feel lucky to be granted some of his time. VDialogueChrisHaversamChrisHaversamTopic001 Hurry back. Never have we been so close. VDialogueChrisHaversamChrisHaversamTopic002 Very few. Time is wasting. Hurry back so we can begin. VDialogueChrisHaversamChrisHaversamTopic003 Goodbye, thank you. VDialogueCliffBriscoeCliffBriscoeTopic001 Well, they unloaded what they had left on the Dino Bite as a tax write-off. But that was before my time. VDialogueCliffBriscoeCliffBriscoeTopic001 Plenty of demand for them, seeing as they're one-of-a-kind collectors items. But I might still have some in back. VDialogueCliffBriscoeCliffBriscoeTopic002 {Cheery}That's a great idea. VDialogueCraigBooneAssassinHint If I was the assassin, I'd be up on that ridge. Or if I didn't care about escaping, maybe that near tower, or the landing pad behind us. VDialogueCraigBooneBSArrive This is the place. We got sent from Camp Golf, looking for some Khans who'd been making trouble with one of our settlements. VDialogueCraigBooneBSArrive I guess one of the settlers was connected, because we sent everything we had. We figured this was a gang hideout, but... they'd led us to their home. VDialogueCraigBooneBSArrive There's a ridge called Coyote Tail on the south side. That's where we set up. VDialogueCraigBooneBSCemetery Christ. They put the graveyard here. VDialogueCraigBooneBSReadyToStay Let's go {slight emph}up there first, huh? VDialogueCraigBooneBSRidgeArrive Canyon 37. That's what the NCR calls the pass down there. VDialogueCraigBooneBSRidgeArrive It was the Khans' only escape, so we set up here to guard it while the main force attacked from the front. VDialogueCraigBooneBSRidgeArrive Standing orders were to shoot on sight. VDialogueCraigBooneBSWake Something's wrong. Got a group coming our way. Looks like a Legion raiding party. It's big. VDialogueCraigBooneBSWake It might be too big. VDialogueCraigBooneCaesarDead Thumbs down, you son of a bitch. VDialogueCraigBooneCCComplete Wish there was more of them. I wasn't done yet. VDialogueCraigBooneCLAttackFinish I think we're clear. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic000 [SUCCEEDED] Yeah, well, you see anybody wearing Legion crimson or a lot of sports equipment, you just let me know. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic000 You still haven't answered my question. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic001 [FAILED] Drop it. Now why the hell are you here? VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic002 {icy}You got no right asking me that. Drop it. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic003 That goes both ways. I joined up with you to kill legionaries. Sooner we get back to that, sooner we can have an understanding. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic004 You don't know what you're asking. Just... let it go for now. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic004 The Legion's the only thing I want on my mind right now. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic005 {Sighs}It's just something I'm not ready to discuss. With you or anybody. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic006 I don't see what this helps. She's dead. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic007 {Touchy}Fine. How do I know she's dead? Here it is. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic007 She... I tracked her down. Southeast, near the river. They were selling her. Saw it through my scope. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic007 Whole place swarming with Legion. Hundreds of them. Bidding for things no man has a right to. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic007 I just had my rifle with me. Just me, against all of them, so... I took the shot. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic008 {Sighs}All right. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic010 Yeah. What they do to women... that's worse than death. There was no choice in what I did. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic010 It was more like... being forced to watch something you can't stop. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic010 All this was only ever going to play out one way. It still is. I don't have any say. All I can do is wait for it to be done with me. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic011 There was never any saving her. They'd have taken her where I couldn't follow. What I did... that was the only rescue. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic012 There was no decision. I was meant to pull that trigger. It was a mistake to think I could escape it. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic012 You take out a debt, it's only a matter of time before someone comes collecting. Things just finally caught up with me. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic013 It was gonna be something. If I'd never met Carla, it would've been something else. I should've never gotten close to her. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic013 I've got bad things coming to me. You'd better keep your distance, too. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic014 {Sighs}Because fair is fair. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic015 Better that you don't. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic016 All right. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic017 No. Sorry. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic018 I was in a lot of places with First Recon. I don't really remember. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic019 That part of my life is over now. So is this discussion. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic019 {Sardonic}We won. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic019 {Sighs}There was a... miscommunication. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic020 Look, we've done some traveling together, but we're not exactly comrades-in-arms. I'm not ready to swap war stories. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic021 Maybe some other time. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic022 {Pointed}Your enemies, or mine? VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic022 True. It's a start. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic024 I don't know. Couldn't hurt. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic025 Yeah. I guess that'd be the word. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic025 We did what we were there to do. Lot of people got killed. That's war. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic025 Maybe looking back you'd do things differently, but that's not how it works. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic025 In the field, you hesitate, you or someone you care about will die. They teach that from day one. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic026 Yeah, well. That's how they wrote it up in the report. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic027 Not as much as you'd think. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic028 You don't come out of a tour of duty without regrets. It's best just not to think about it. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic029 It doesn't lead anywhere that does any good. I know that much. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic030 Not much hope either way, is there? VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic031 Life has a way of punishing you for the mistakes you make. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic031 Big enough mistake, punishment can take a while. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic031 Mine's not over. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic032 A murderer who does good deeds is still a murderer. And he'll still get his judgment. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic032 I left the NCR when my tour was up. Had enough of war. Decided I was gonna start over. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic032 None of it made a difference in the end. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic033 That's what they tell you in the casinos, too. Because it's the only way to get you to buy back in. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic033 If people knew the truth, that something's watching you, waiting to take it all away from you, and it never loses... VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic033 That's all it's doing now. Waiting for me to buy back in. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic034 Yeah, that's what I thought, too. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic034 But it's not so easy when you know it's coming for you. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic035 Because I'm still alive. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic036 Yeah. Always. Even when I sleep. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic037 I don't think so. It won't change anything. And that's a memory I don't want refreshed. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic038 Nothing. Dream. Just tired of thinking about it. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic039 I hope this isn't a mistake. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic040 {Embarrassed}Yeah. Yeah, I guess not. Forget I brought it up. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic041 {Irked}You're the one who suggested it. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic041 Fine. If I'm on my own I'm on my own. But I'm gonna go. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic041 Good working with you. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic042 All right. Let's head out, then. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic043 Main force got spotted too soon. We heard shooting. Then Khans started coming through Canyon 37 in bunches. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic043 It was all wrong, though. Women, kids, elderly. Wounded started coming through, too. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic043 We radioed to confirm our orders but command didn't get what we were seeing. They told us to shoot till we were out of ammo. So that's what we did. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic044 Yeah, I guess not. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic045 Yeah, well. I'm not a soldier anymore. Those rules don't seem like much of an excuse now. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic045 Anyway... I don't know why we're here. Thought maybe it'd help me see things better. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic045 I'd like to stay here for the night. Think some things over. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic046 Maybe not. Maybe I wouldn't have either at one point. But that's why they train you. Break you down till you're automatic. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic047 With the Khans, any of them can be dangerous. There's a lot you can't see through a scope. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic047 Still. I often wonder the same thing. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic048 You can do what you want, but I'm not going anywhere. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic049 No. I only would've needed one bullet to do things right that day. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic050 All right. We won't stay for long. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic051 Fine, but I'd still like to when we get a chance. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic052 Easy target for grabbing slaves. Bunch of refugees, just a few soldiers defending it. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic052 I don't think they're here for us. Too bad. Would've made me feel good about myself. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic053 Ha! If only it was this easy all the time. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic054 I'm not. Always figured this was how it was gonna end for me. Just didn't know when. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic054 That day you showed up in Novac, I had a feeling I was supposed to go with you. That it was time to end all this. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic054 And now I know. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic055 Thought my time had come. For a minute there everything made sense. I could feel the end coming. I was ready for it. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic055 Now... I'm back where I was. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic056 Guess I did. Guess I figured whatever we could handle, this time the Legion was going to send more. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic056 I should've died here a long time ago. When I spotted the legionaries today I thought I understood. Things were finally going to even out. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic056 But I'm still here and nothing's changed. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic057 I guess they brought us here. One less Legion raiding party running loose now. Never a bad thing, you can take my word for that. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic057 Still feels like I'm living on borrowed time. But I don't see any reason not to take a lot more of those sons of bitches with me. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic057 You got a point. There's still some things I can do before all this is over. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic058 I don't mean disrespect. It's a hell of a thing having someone with your ability looking out for me. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic058 But I've come to believe that there are things nobody can stop. I thought for sure that's what we'd finally come up against today. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic058 It would've made sense for things to end here. But now... I'm still waiting. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic059
Goddamn it. It's like I'm being toyed with.
VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic059 I don't know what I'm supposed to do about all this. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic060 If that's how it is, there's not a lot of comfort in knowing it. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic061 I never thought of it that way. Always expected something... more final. But maybe it is. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic062 With the Khans, the only difference between a soldier and a civilian is that the civilian is more likely to miss when he shoots at you. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic062 {searching}Maybe Bitter Springs just seemed different. {then, going ice cold}Maybe it's the same as killing legionaries. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic062 They'd have died whether or not they were soldiers. Whether or not I was there. And my leaving the NCR hasn't stopped any wars or saved any lives. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic062 There's no controlling war. No sense regretting what you can't stop. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic063 First NCR Recon. It's a sniper battalion. Sees a lot of action. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic063 They moved us around a lot. I was stationed at Camp Golf for a while. Last I heard they were at Camp McCarran. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic064 They pick you out if you do well at the firing range. Pays a little better, so I said okay. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic065 The last thing you never see."" VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic065 Pretty accurate, and so were we. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic066 Yeah. You can tell by the patch. Bear skull with crossed rifles behind it. Slogan underneath. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic067 Was an airport before the war. Command liked it because it was already fortified and it let them keep an eye on the Strip. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic067 They've got an old monorail that still runs between them. Used mostly for supplies and deployment. But if you get leave you're allowed to go gamble. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic067 Was General Oliver's post, but I heard he's been up at the Dam a lot lately. Guessing Colonel Hsu is running it. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic068 It was on the front line for a while. Only resort in New Vegas no one wanted to get sent to. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic068 Doesn't have that kind of importance anymore, though. They pulled most of the troops out of there after we took the Hoover Dam. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic069 Didn't know him. He's a signature on my discharge papers. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic069 Wasn't real popular, though. Even overheard my C.O. complain about him once. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic069 General Wait-and-see VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic070 Yeah. He introduced himself to me once. I shook his hand. Doubt he'd remember me now, though. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic070 When he looked at you, you could see he understood. After some of the things we'd seen, that meant something. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic070 What I heard, he'd be a general right now if Oliver didn't know the president. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic071 The big one. The one the NCR is trying to hold onto, that the Legion's pushing for. Whole war depends on holding it. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic072 Okay. But let's make sure and come back here. I'd love to wipe this place off the map. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic073 I don't think I'd hold it against you. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic074 Fine. But if you make any new friends in there, all bets are off. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic075 You're making a mistake. I want to be a part of this. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic076 You ever change your mind, I'll be right there with you. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic077 That's what the scope's for. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic078 Damn right. You and I, we're just a couple of problem solvers. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic079 If you're sure. There's a lot of high ground around the town. We could do a lot of damage. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic079 Just saying. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic080 Better be a good reason. I didn't join up with you to go on nature walks. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic081 {Bitter}You say so. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic082 You'll be glad you did this. I'm gonna put a hole through Caesar's head. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic083 Heh. Yeah. That was some kind of stunt we pulled. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic083 Whatever happens from here on out, we killed that prick in the middle of his fortress. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic083 Ought to give the rest of them something to think about. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic084 Intel we had back in the NCR said they had a whole succession lined up. They'll replace him as soon as word gets out. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic084 The other thing I heard is that he wasn't really commanding the army anymore. Guess we made sure of that. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic085 Yeah, it does. But we got these bastards pretty good today. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic086 If you want me to stick around, that ends now. I don't care what the reasons are, I will not help the Legion. Ever. Got it? VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic087 Bullshit. You're a goddamned coward, trying to pick the winning side. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic087 We will never work together again. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic089 Then this is over. Next time I see you, it'll be through my scope. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic089 Any Legion with you and I'm pulling the trigger. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic090 I should never have trusted you. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic091 All right. But we'd better not have to have this talk again. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic092 Then we're finished here. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic093 I should never have worked with you in the first place. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic094 You're right. You won't. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic095 Good thing I'm still alive, then. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic096 If you want. It's not really my thing. What do you want to know? VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic097 Give me my rifle and a clear line of sight and I'll start picking them off before they've even seen me. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic097 Didn't have much hand-to-hand training, so our chances are better if you keep the enemy out of my face. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic097 I'm trained as a spotter, too. If you're looking through a scope, I can find your targets for you. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic098 No. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic099 Don't ever say that name again. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic099 He was a good spotter. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic100 Yeah. We were. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic101 No. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic101 When Carla went missing he was the first person I told. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic101 He tried to hide it, but I could tell right away. He was glad. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic102 Sure. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic103 Carla's dead. That's all you need to know. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic103 I met Carla while I was at the Strip on leave. She said I looked lost. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic103 She talked a lot. Suited me fine - I never know what to say. And listening to her, it could... make you forget. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic103 She stuck out, pretty much everywhere we went. Like she was from a different time. A better time. I never met anyone like her. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic104 No. I wanted to. I just couldn't. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic105 Yeah. I don't know much. Just rumors. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic105 All I know is he's supposed to be in charge of the Strip. And he's been able to stop the NCR from taking it over. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic105 Wish he'd give it up, so the NCR could focus on securing the border. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic106 Okay. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic107 No. It doesn't. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic108 It's NCR land, for the most part. We tamed it, now we're settling it. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic108 Lot of people complain about it, but they forget what it was like before we showed up. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic108 It's a lot of territory to secure. Too much, even for a big army like the NCR's. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic109 Coming east was about securing the land, so people could live without fear. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic109 It's not always that simple. But I think the cause is still right. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic109 And God help us if they lose. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic110 Yeah. Lots of thoughts. All about the best ways to kill them. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic113 Well, let me know when it is. VDialogueCraigBooneCraigBooneTopic114 No. This is something for {emph}me to deal with. But I'm glad you're here. VDialogueCraigBooneNelsonReactMercyKill Goddamn it. We could've gotten them out. VDialogueCraigBooneNelsonReactSave Mercy killing is a last resort. Glad you recognized we had options. VDialogueCraigBooneNelsonStart To hell with mercy killing. We're getting those guys out of there. VDialogueCraigBooneNiptonCrossReact Goddamn Legion. VDialogueCraigBooneNiptonReact They got what they had coming. Glad we were the ones to deliver it. VDialogueCraigBooneNoBeretReact I'd really like my beret back, please. VDialogueCraigBooneOscarVelascoReact Great Khan, looks like. Guess he fought at Bitter Springs. Or saw it happen. VDialogueCraigBooneRexCalm {Drawing out the 'e' a little}Easy, boy. VDialogueCraigBooneRexCalm Shh... VDialogueCraigBooneSpotterIntro Dark in here. If you want to use a scope, I can spot for you. Keep you on target. VDialogueCraigBooneWave2 We need to get to the camp before they do! VDialogueCraigBooneWave3 More coming! VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic000 I watch all sorts of things with my binoculars. Who wants to know, and why? VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic001 Bye. VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic002 Alright then, goodbye. VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic003 Nice-looking blonde boy? I always wondered if he was watching me back! What's he like? VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic004 Really? That's so sweet! VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic004 I'd love to go meet him. Is there any way the Boomers would let me visit Nellis? VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic006 Well, you don't have to do that anymore! Sounds like I better hurry to him. VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic006 Any chance the Boomers would let me visit Nellis? VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic007 Ooh, I've just got to meet him! Is there any way the Boomers would let me visit Nellis? VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic011 [SUCCEEDED] {Surprise}Really? Thank you so much! I'll get going right away. VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic011 [FAILED] {Angry}Are you trying to get me killed? No way I'm going in there. VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic012 Ok, let me know when you have an idea. VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic013 This is so exciting! Let me know how it turns out. VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic014 Just my luck. I finally find the perfect guy, and he's a Boomer. VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic015 I was hoping you would. What's going on? VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic015 I was hoping you would. What's going on? Have they agreed to my safety yet? VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic017 Ok, talk to you soon. VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic018 Well, with McLafferty dead, I guess my contract is done and I'm free to leave. I'm off to meet my admirer! VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic018 There's one more thing. I have a work contract with the Crimson Caravan, and if I walk away, I lose the wages they owe me. VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic018 Could you do just one more thing for me and talk to Alice McLafferty about it? I know if I do it, she'll just say no. I'd hate to lose the money. VDialogueCrimsonCaravan1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic019 Okay, I'll be around. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic000 It's been a pleasure. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic001 I'm afraid we have no current openings for caravaneers or guards, but I'm in need of a runner. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic002 Deliver this invoice to Dr. Hildern. You can find him somewhere inside Camp McCarran. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic003 {slightly annoyed - player asked for work, then turned down the job}I see. Was there anything else, then? VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic004 Well, you've proven yourself reliable so far. Would you be interested in more important jobs? VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic005 As much as I like to handle matters personally, I can't be everywhere at once. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic005 There is a negotiation with a smaller trading outfit that I'd like resolved as quickly as possible. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic005 There's also the matter of Henry Jamison, an employee whose services I'd rather do without. His family connections make it difficult, however. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic005 And finally, I need someone to acquire" the Gun Runner's manufacturing specifications. This job needs to be quiet - no alarms VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic006 Certainly. What would you like to know? VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic007 The Crimson Caravan Company has been in business for over 130 years. We're partially responsible for the progress in the NCR. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic008 Well, the Gun Runners continue to dominate the weapons market, and the Mormon traders from New Canaan control the majority of the northern routes. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic009 Normally, I oversee company operations at the Hub in California. However, the New Vegas branch has been underperforming in recent years. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic009 Given the conditions here, it's not hard to see why. I'll change all that, soon enough. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic010 All right. Is there anything else I can do for you? VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic011 Yes, I'd heard something about his untimely death. There will be a lot of questions from his family, so I trust you had nothing to do with this. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic011 I guess the one bright spot is that I can strike his name from the payroll after all. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic011 Yes, but at significant cost. I understand that you not only agreed that the company pay off his gambling debts, but he also gets severance. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic011 I'm disappointed with this outcome, but what's done is done. At least we're rid of Henry. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic011 Yes, I understand that he's decided to quit outright and not even ask for compensation. I'm a bit curious what exactly you said to him. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic011 Then again, perhaps I'd rather not know. Thank you all the same - I'm very happy to be rid of that man. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic011 Yes, I heard. I believe we're now responsible for paying off his gambling debts, but that you bargained him down from a more outrageous demand. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic011 Well done. I'm very pleased to be rid of that man. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic012 Very good. On occasion it's proven to be more profitable in the long run to simply buy out the competition, and this is one of those occasions. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic013 {Alarm, no deaths}The Gun Runners detected an intruder roaming around, so they'll like be aware of the theft soon enough. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic013 This unfortunate circumstance will prevent us from immediately using their blueprints to manufacture weapons. A pity. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic013 {Deaths}The Gun Runners will be looking for revenge for the murder of their people. I won't sell you out, but be careful out there. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic013 We'll be unable to make use of their schematics any time soon. Not what I was hoping for when I asked you to do the job. Take your pay. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic013 I hear it's business as usual at the Gun Runners, as if nothing unusual happened. Excellent work. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic013 We'll be able to use the schematics you acquired to begin manufacturing our own weapons immediately. We'll provide some to you at a discount. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic014 There's a small trading outfit, Cassidy Caravans, that I'm interested in acquiring. They've been rather competitive, so it's time to buy them out. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic014 I have it on good authority that the owner, Cass, wants out of the caravan business. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic014 Cass frequently trades with the NCR, so you'll likely find her at the Mojave Outpost. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic015 The Jamisons are very wealthy ranchers back in Redding, California and significant investors in the Crimson Caravan Company. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic015 I was pressured into posting young Henry as the manager of the New Vegas branch. As you can see, he wasn't exactly cut out for the job. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic015 He was much more interested in gambling and prostitutes, and because of his family, I can't simply fire him. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic015 Henry needs to be convinced to quit, one way or another. I won't have a useless employee on the company payroll. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic016 {snorting, a bit contemptuous}Ah, yes, her infatuation with a Boomer she's never met. It's a small camp, and word gets around. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic016 She's aware she's breaking her contract, which is undoubtedly why she sent you to talk to me instead of coming herself. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic016 Janet is free to leave, but she forfeits the wages she's owed. That's the price of contract breaking - take it or leave it. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic016 My terms haven't changed. Janet is free to leave, but she forfeits the wages she's owed. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic017 The quality of the Gun Runners' armaments is due to their manufacturing process. They craft all weapons on-site. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic017 I want to know the secrets of their manufacturing process, which means you'll need to find some way to get inside their heavily-guarded factory. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic017 I would greatly prefer that you perform this job undetected and without killing anyone, if it can be helped. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic018 Thank you. Was there something else? VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic019 {Non-Dummy}Of course. Which one? VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic019 {Dummy - sigh, strained patience}Very well. What job did you need more information on? VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic020 {grumbling}[SUCCEEDED] Being sentimental is not how I made the Crimson Caravan so successful, but I'll allow it, just this once. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic020 Janet will be paid what she's owed. Consider it a gift. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic020 {somewhat amused}[FAILED] You'll have to try harder than that. The rumors about my heart being made of stone are true. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic021 I understand. No hard feelings, but you will, of course, keep our conversation on the matter strictly confidential. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic022 [SUCCEEDED] Intriguing. Janet puts in a good word for me, and the Crimson Caravan gains exclusive access to the Boomers. Yes, that works for me. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic022 Janet will be paid what she's owed. Consider it a gift. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic022 [FAILED] The Crimson Caravan Company's operations require dependable employees. I'm not going to reward someone for breaking their work contract. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic023 Take all the time you need. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic024 I'm glad to hear it. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic025 Most merchant companies - {correcting herself, emphasizes successful"}successful merchant companies VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic025 The contracts keep employees around for a specific duration of time, after which they get paid - after their upkeep expenses are deducted, of course. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic027 Food, water, living quarters, medicine, and clothes - just the basic stuff. It all comes out of the Company's coffers. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic028 Yes, and they have been for decades now. The hired hands know what they're signing up for - we don't hide anything with fancy talk. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic029 {grinning}That's because we are. {more serious}We always pay up when the contract ends, though. Won't stay in business long if you've got a reputation as a cheat. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic030 Something has actually come up. A prospector recently came through here and spent a lot of caps on supplies. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic030 Closer inspection of these caps has revealed them to be brand new. This is a problem. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic030 The most likely source of these new caps is the old sarsaparilla bottling plant. Go there, locate the bottle cap press, and disable it. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic031 What would you like to know? VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic032 Good. I'm sure you were thorough. Here's your payment for a job well done. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic034 People have been counterfeiting bottle caps forever, but it's always been small scale. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic034 A bottle cap press is a whole other threat. We can't have anyone devaluing our currency by mass producing new bottle caps. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic035 Certainly. Bottle caps do wear out or get damaged. Some people even insist on using bottle caps in explosive devices for some reason. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic035 We make it a point to scour Pre-War bottling plants and recover or disable the bottle cap presses. It seems we missed one. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic036 Lots of little things - the paint on the label, the machining, the type of metal it's made from. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic036 I know there's counterfeit caps floating around, of course. Fortunately, they're very time-consuming to make, so the numbers are small. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic037 {Cass not hired}Coincidentally, I'm also looking for her. I've got a business offer she'd be interested in. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic037 I believe Cass frequents the Mojave Outpost, far south of here, near the California border. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanAliceMcLaffertyTopic038 A pity. I guess I'll have to find some other way to acquire her caravan's assets. Thanks for letting me know. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic000 See ya. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic001 Can do. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic002 Here you go. Let him know he needs to make another payment if he wants more of this stuff. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic003 Need anything else? VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic004 Well, pain-killers are easy to come by, but it isn't easy finding iodine, allergy meds, and a few of these other items. Why do you ask? VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic005 Really? Huh, never thought of that. The Crimson Caravan isn't really in the drug business. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic006 Really? Huh, never thought of that. The Crimson Caravan isn't really in the drug business. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic009 Won't be a problem. We have plenty of spice traders working with us back home, and we could get meat from local Brahmin ranchers. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic009 The bigger issue is payment. To supply the camp with meat with cost some serious caps. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic010 Excellent. We should be able to get the shipments started in about a week. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic011 [SUCCEEDED] Well, the Far Go Traders have been trying to edge us out on the new armor contract for the troops. This could swing things in our favor. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic011 All right, let McCarran know they should expect the first shipment in a week or so. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic011 [FAILED] This is business. I really can't cut them a deal on the cost. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic012 [SUCCEEDED] That should work. We'll do a weighted exchanged based on the going value of meat and vegetables. Water is invaluable in this dusty hole. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic012 Let McCarran know they should expect the first shipment in a week or so. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic012 [FAILED] We don't need vegetables, and besides, they spoil. The meat you can dry and turn into jerky. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic013 Maybe. What do you want to know? VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic015 Trade routes, my friend, trade routes. Just about every major town in the wasteland has a Crimson Caravan branch in it. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic016 Out here, we usually split our caravans into smaller bands - that way, we don't lose everything if they get hit. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic016 It's not very efficient, though, but hopefully we'll be able to start running larger caravans once things get civilized. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic017 A little place in the NCR called Oak Creek. Used to be a farming town until it got taken over by ranchers. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic017 I didn't want to herd Brahmin for a living, so I signed on with the Crimson Caravan and headed east. Not much to tell, really. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanCrimsonCaravanBlakeTopic018 Okay, just let me know when you want to talk numbers. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanGSRingoTopic001 Alice McLafferty runs the Crimson Caravan. You can find her over in the main office. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanGSRingoTopic002 I'm getting ready to run a caravan up towards Utah. There's a town called New Canaan which is supposed to be pretty prosperous. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanGSRingoTopic002 The Crimson Caravan doesn't have any branches out that way, so it'll be up to me get to things started. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanGSRingoTopic003 I'll see you around. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanHenryJamisonTopic000 Fuck no. No matter what that old bitch McLafferty says, my dad said I could be in charge of the New Vegas branch. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanHenryJamisonTopic000 Besides, I got into a little money trouble with the Omertas. If I quit the Crimson Caravan, how am I supposed to get the money to gamble? VDialogueCrimsonCaravanHenryJamisonTopic001 Yeah, whatever. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanHenryJamisonTopic002 Yeah, all right. If McLafferty complains long enough, my folks might haul me back to California just to shut her up. Tell the old hag I'm gone. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanHenryJamisonTopic003 All right, all right! I believe you. Just don't say anything to my folks. You can tell the old hag I'm gone. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanHenryJamisonTopic004 One of the families that runs the Strip. They're a pack of cheaters, but you still don't want to fuck with them. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanHenryJamisonTopic005 I want my debt with the Omertas paid off. And I want one of those severance package things. A big one. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanHenryJamisonTopic005 My terms are the same as before. They pay off my debt to the Omertas, and I get a big fucking severance package. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanHenryJamisonTopic006 [SUCCEEDED] Fine, whatever. Forget the severance. Just get the Omertas off my back, and you can tell McLafferty she won't see my face again. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanHenryJamisonTopic006 [FAILED] Tough shit. That's what I want, or I'm not going anywhere. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanHenryJamisonTopic007 [SUCCEEDED] Wha-? No, no wait. Look, I just need time. Don't rat me out to them. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanHenryJamisonTopic007 You want me to quit the Crimson Caravan? Fine, I quit. You can tell McLafferty that she won't see my face again. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanHenryJamisonTopic007 [FAILED] As if they'd even talk to you. You're nobody. I'm Henry-fucking-Jamison. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanHenryJamisonTopic008 We done, then? VDialogueCrimsonCaravanHenryJamisonTopic009 You do that. And tell the old bitch to pay up quick, you hear? VDialogueCrimsonCaravanHenryJamisonTopic010 I wanted to be where the action is, so I got my dad to pull some strings and get me a cushy position with the Crimson Caravan. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanHenryJamisonTopic010 Everything was great until McLafferty came along. That old bitch is gonna hear about it from my dad, just you wait. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanHenryJamisonTopic011 Uh, yeah, actually. I'm still good for the money, but I'll get it some other way. You can tell the old hag I'm gone. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanNellisCrimsonCaravanJanetTopic000 Okay, well let me know what she says. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanNellisCrimsonCaravanJanetTopic001 That's great! I can't believe you went through all this trouble for me. Thank you! VDialogueCrimsonCaravanNellisCrimsonCaravanJanetTopic002 I see. Well, thank you for trying. I'm off to go see my admirer now. VDialogueCrimsonCaravanNellisCrimsonCaravanJanetTopic003 Oh, I see. Well, I guess I'm off to see my admirer now. VDialogueDoldrums1EAngeloTopic000 Until next time. VDialogueDoldrums1EAngeloTopic001 Of course. VDialogueEastVegas1EGunRunnerProtectronTopic001 I am ready to process our transaction. VDialogueEastVegas1EGunRunnerProtectronTopic003 This is the New Vegas branch of the Gun Runners, supplying the wasteland with only the finest armaments since 2155. vDialogueEDENVCompanionEdETopic000 Please handle this information with the utmost care as it represents the sum total of the results of my research on the Duraframe Eyebots. vDialogueEDENVCompanionEdETopic000 There are also several databanks with information on my research into Poseidon Energy and some projects they were working on in the Mojave area. vDialogueEDETopic000 If you are listening to this log from one of our Enclave Outposts in Chicago, give this unit whatever repairs it needs so it can continue to Navarro. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic000 Yeah, he used to come around here a lot. Haven't seen him in a while, though. Why? vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic001 He used to go on and on about water and the farms east of the Strip. He was talking to one of the farmers named Bascom, had some problem with NCR. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic001 Boring as hell, but it was his money and his time, so I let him talk about whatever. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic004 Don't be a stranger. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic005 Fuck off. You already screwed me once, and it's not happening again. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic005 A hundred caps. No kissing, no rough stuff. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic005 Fifty caps, just like we agreed. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic006 We can go right over here, baby. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic007 Well now, that's unusual. Normally no one cares enough to ask. To be honest, I don't rightly know. My mama was from around these parts. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic007 I can remember her face, but not her name. More than I can remember of my daddy, I guess. We lived in Westside before the Omertas bought me. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic007 As bad as it can be some days in here, it's better than living in that dump. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic008 Suit yourself. The offer's always open if you feel like changing your mind. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic009 We can go right over here, baby. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic010 Hmm... I don't know. Doesn't that... mess you up? vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic011 [SUCCEEDED] Well, if you know what you're doing... okay. You show me a good time, and I'll return the favor. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic011 [FAILED] That's nice, honey, but no thanks. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic012 [SUCCEEDED] Well... no I guess not. Okay - you show me a good time, and I'll return the favor. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic012 [FAILED] Um... it's sweet of you to offer, but no thanks. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic013 Yeah, you're right. For you, and just you, fifty caps. Don't tell anyone. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic014 We can go right over here, baby. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic015 Yeah, you are different from my usual guys. Fine, fifty caps, but don't tell anyone. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic016 Too bad, baby. Come back when you have the caps. I'll still be here. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic017 Forget it, it's done. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic017 So, what else did you want? vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic018 Ugh. I figured you were a bit slow, but I never thought - forget it, it's done. vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic019 Fuck you. So what do you want now? vDialogueGomorrahDazzleTopic020 Too bad, baby. You know where to find me. vDialogueGomorrahGenericTopic000 Okay, 50 caps to make you scream. vDialogueGomorrahGenericTopic001 Follow Me. vDialogueGomorrahGenericTopic002 Your loss. vDialogueGomorrahGenericTopic003 Get the fuck away from me. Don't ask me about Cachino. vDialogueGomorrahGenericTopic004 Then leave. vDialogueGomorrahGenericTopic005 Cachino? Get out of my face. vDialogueGomorrahGenericTopic006 I bet you say that to all the girls. Yeah, head over to Brimstone, he'll find you there. vDialogueGomorrahGenericTopic006 Gorgeous, you can have anything you want from me. Cachino is in Brimstone. vDialogueGomorrahGenericTopic006 Well thank you, gorgeous. Yeah, look for Cachino in Brimstone. vDialogueGomorrahGenericTopic006 Well thank you, gorgeous. Yeah, look for Cachino in Brimstone. vDialogueGomorrahGenericTopic007 Whoa, simmer down! Head over to Brimstone. I'll have him find you there. vDialogueGomorrahGenericTopic008 Yeah, Cachino is a creep. I'll give you a key for some caps... Hazard pay. vDialogueGomorrahGenericTopic008 Yeah, Cachino is a creep. I'll give you a key for some caps... Hazard pay. vDialogueGomorrahGenericTopic009 No skin off my back. vDialogueGomorrahGenericTopic010 Fine, here you go. If anyone asks you ain't never seen me before. vDialogueGomorrahGenericTopic010 Fine, here you go. If anyone asks you ain't never seen me before. vDialogueGomorrahGenericTopic011 [SUCCEEDED] Sounds like a deal to me. vDialogueGomorrahGenericTopic011 [FAILED] Yeah, but come back when you have the money. vDialogueGomorrahGenericTopic011 [FAILED] I bet it does, but free ain't gonna work. vDialogueGomorrahGenericvGOMBartenderRandomTopic000 Here you go. vDialogueGomorrahGenericvGOMBartenderRandomTopic001 Sorry, it's not my business to get involved. vDialogueGomorrahGenericvGOMBartenderRandomTopic002 All right. At Gomorrah, the bar is always open. vDialogueGomorrahGenericvGOMEntranceGuardTopic000 You'll get these back on your way out. vDialogueGomorrahGenericvGOMEntranceGuardTopic001 You'll get these back on your way out. vDialogueGomorrahGenericvGOMEntranceGuardTopic002 Then get the fuck out of here. vDialogueGomorrahGenericvGOMEntranceGuardTopic003 You sure you want it to go down this way? You're going to have every Omerta in this place jumping down your throat. vDialogueGomorrahGenericvGOMEntranceGuardTopic004 All right, this is going to be fun. vDialogueGomorrahGenericvGOMEntranceGuardTopic005 All right, come back any time. vDialogueGomorrahGenericvGOMReceptionistTopic000 Sorry, we don't have any hotel rooms available right now, but feel free to gamble or help yourself to our other services. vDialogueGomorrahGenericvGOMReceptionistTopic000 Sorry, we don't have any hotel rooms available right now, but feel free to gamble or help yourself to our other services. vDialogueGomorrahGenericvGOMReceptionistTopic001 Feel free to head to our club, Brimstone, or you can see our gorgeous courtyard out behind the casino. vDialogueGomorrahGenericvGOMReceptionistTopic001 Feel free to head to our club, Brimstone, or you can see our gorgeous courtyard out behind the casino. vDialogueGomorrahGenericvGOMReceptionistTopic002 You make an excellent point. I never liked that Cachino fuck anyway. Here you go. vDialogueGomorrahGenericvGOMReceptionistTopic002 With those skinny little arms? Not before the bouncer put two in the back of your head. Now stop being stupid. vDialogueGomorrahGenericvGOMReceptionistTopic002 You make an excellent point. I never liked that Cachino fuck anyway. Here you go. vDialogueGomorrahGenericvGOMReceptionistTopic002 With those skinny little arms? Not before the bouncer put two in the back of your head. Now stop being stupid. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMBouncer01Topic001 Family, the fucking Omertas. Are you new around here or what? vDialogueGomorrahvGOMBouncer01Topic002 Zoara is our club. The Family club. If you got business with the bosses, you can go upstairs to talk to them. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMBouncer01Topic003 What business is that? vDialogueGomorrahvGOMBouncer01Topic004 Good, get lost. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMBouncer01Topic005 Yeah, give me what you got. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMBouncer01Topic005 What the fuck? Oh shit. Yeah, go talk to Nero or Big Sal upstairs. They'll want to see this. I'll send Cachino to the office as well. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMBouncer01Topic006 It's my fucking job, and no one sees the bosses unless I give the okay. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMBouncer01Topic007 [SUCCEEDED] Okay, calm down. I'm just doing my job. Go talk to the bosses, one of them should be upstairs. Look for Big Sal or Nero. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMBouncer01Topic007 I'll tell Cachino to head upstairs. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMBouncer01Topic007 [FAILED] I don't know who the fuck{emphasized} you think you are, but this is my gate and I'm the gatekeeper. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic000 I sure do, but loose lips{giggle} sink ships. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic001 [SUCCEEDED] Alright, you look pretty trustworthy. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic001 [FAILED] Sorry, but the Omertas don't look very kindly upon gossiping. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic002 I...{stammer} well, since you ask so nicely, and I'm not sure I could resist those pretty eyes. What do you want to know? vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic003 I've heard some pretty shady rumors about the Ultra Luxe. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic003 I'm not sure what the deal is, but although they try to put on airs, that place is just plain creepy. Maybe it's the masks. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic003 Not much of a rumor, but I hear the Tops is always looking for new talent. Lord knows they've needed it for a long time. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic003 I'm not sure what's going on at Lucky 38. That place is weird. Nobody ever goes in. Nobody ever comes out. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic003 I hear you've actually been inside Lucky 38? You're the first person who's been in there in as long as anybody can remember. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic003 It's hard to believe that not too long ago most of the families on the Strip were little more than warring tribes. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic003 The Omertas even had a big war with the Khans, once upon a time. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic003 Sorry, that's all the news worth talking about. All I have at least. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic004 Gossip is one thing, dirt on the Family is something else totally. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic004 {sigh}I knew someone would call in that mark soon. What do you want to know? vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic004 That was one of my sisters, but my family always repays our debts. What do you want to know? vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic005 Depends on who you're looking for. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic006 Cachino is usually on this floor in Brimstone, having drinks. If he isn't there then he's probably in his room upstairs. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic007 Troike spends all his days down in Zoara on the lower level. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic007 Troike is dead, but I'm sure you know that. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic008 Yeah. I know him.{unhappy, spoken with contempt} You'll probably find him in his room upstairs. He usually just sends down for girls or food. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic008 I knew someone named Clanden. Good fucking riddance. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic009 Big Sal and Nero split their time in Zoara overlooking the main casino floor from the balcony. No one but Family is allowed up there, though. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic010 All I can tell you is to find Cachino. He's the lowest level Lieutenant you're going to be able to talk to. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic010 Some of the girls say he's been involved in some shady business the Family wouldn't really like. Ask him about it. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic011 Sorry, they don't tell me their plans and I don't want to know. I'm just happy they don't make me fuck anybody anymore. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic012 Fire away. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic013 Enjoy yourself. vDialogueGomorrahvGOMReceptionistTopic014 Be careful. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic000 Ah, Troike? What's he want? Some more Jet, a fresh batch of girls? Maybe a guy or two this time? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic000 My associate Big Sal deals with Troike and his business. When my shift down here is done you can talk to him. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic001 We run a hotel. What do you think our business is? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic002 [SUCCEEDED] Really? That was his idea? Alright, he can go. Hopefully he finds us some good deals out there. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic002 [FAILED] You're really funny. I like you. But no. We still have business for Troike. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic003 {laughs}Why would I want to do that? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic004 What? That he's a murdering Jet-head? Not a new story around here. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic005 Okay, what's on your mind? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic006 [SUCCEEDED] Yeah, I see where you're coming from. Okay, tell Troike he can hit the road. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic006 [FAILED] Nah, I don't think so. We've still got some work for him to do. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic007 I bet he does. That's from hookers and chems. His work for us is the most restful part of his day. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic008 [SUCCEEDED] Alright, you've done some good work for us. I'll do this as a favor for you. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic008 [FAILED] Yeah, I'm sure they enjoy the cash flow, but that doesn't mean dick to me. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic008 [SUCCEEDED] We don't want to draw attention to ourselves. Alright, we'll give them a little bit of extra business. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic008 [FAILED] They're small timers, I could give a fuck what they would enjoy. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic008 Sorry, but I don't know you from Adam, and you don't have any business getting in our business. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic009 Well you've been a real thorn in our side. We've got business plans. You set us back a little bit, I'll admit that. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic009 However, we wanted you to know that nothing you did made a shit bit of difference, and you're going to die a failure. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic010 Yeah, we lost some guns{in a mocking tone} you little weasel. However, we can get more guns. You slowed us down but you can't stop us. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic010 You're gonna die a failure. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic011 Alright, let's dance. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic012 Cachino? What the fu...{fuck interrupted} vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic013 Do you now? Let's see it. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic013 Like hell you do, show me what you have or get the fuck out of my face. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic014 Here, now give it over. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic014 What the fuck is this shit? Cachino, you dumb motherfucker. Yeah, we are going to have some words with Cachino. Meet me in my office. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic015 [SUCCEEDED] Ok, that sounds fair. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic015 [FAILED] {Laughs}You're real funny. Man, I haven't had a laugh like that in days. Thanks. Now, let's get real here. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic015 [SUCCEEDED] This'll be worth your while. I wouldn't be here talking to you otherwise. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic015 [FAILED] I'm not sure if you're funny or just stupid, but I'm not amused. Make me a real offer and we can talk. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic016 Make it snappy. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic017 Thanks for wasting my time. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic018 He'll be handled in the way the Family handles these situations. I want you there for this, come meet me in my office. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic018 Come to my office and you'll see. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic019 Did he now? Funny that, more backstabbing. Yeah, we got something big planned. I was actually hoping to jaw at you about that. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic019 Now that Cachino is gone, we need some help wrapping some things up, and you seem like the resourceful type. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic019 Okay, what do you need to know? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic020 Two of the players, Troike and Clanden, have some problems that need to be solved. Ask them what they need. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic020 We have two contractors, a guy named Troike and one named Clanden. They've both been running into some issues. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic021 The plan is called Racket, but that's all the info you're going to get out of me right now. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic021 We call it Racket, and it is going to show Not-At-Home and every other fucker in our business just what the Family can do. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic022 What's on your mind? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic022 Okay, let's chat. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic023 Alright, come back any time. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic023 Come find me when you have something you need to say. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic024 I heard, we'll be needing those guns. Word on the street is you handled those Fiend freaks like a real pro. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic024 Yeah, I heard. I wasn't sold on the whole gas thing. He's the expert though. It sounds like this chlorine thing is going to work out real well. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic024 I heard you did some good work for us. Thank you. Here's a little cash from us to you. Try not to spend it all in one place. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic025 Yeah, Clanden will be hard to replace but not impossible. We'll find contractors just like him without breaking a sweat. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic026 [SUCCEEDED] Are you shitting me? You didn't even know what the plan was? Yeah, as a last request I guess we can give you that courtesy. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic026 [FAILED] Sorry, but you're going to have to die ignorant. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic027 As one of our captains, Cachino was{pause} kind of like a project manager. He made sure people had what they needed to get their jobs done. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic027 Cachino was my Man Friday. He took care of what needed to be taken care of. Had no idea what a dumb son of a bitch he was. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic028 Caesar asked us to provide a distraction on the Strip. So when he gives the word we're going to launch an all out assault on the Strip. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic028 First we're going to blow the Embassy, then we're going to use soldiers to kill every last motherfucker on the Strip. Then we'll run this joint. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic028 That'll teach Not-At-Home what can go on while he sits in his fucking ivory tower lording down from on high. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic029 The fuck? I knew there had to be someone higher up helping you. Nero, you backstabbing, two-timing motherfucker. I knew this day would come. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21BigSalTopic030 {Pensive}Yeah, that sounds alright to me. I bet we can find someone to do his work for that much. Tell him to get going. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic000 Joana? That bitch spreading lies about me? I've got a lesson to teach her about loose lips. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic001 Business? What the fuck do you mean business? You looking to get yourself burned? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic001 Now you start talking real clear, and I mean fucking crystal clear, because I'm about to lose my patience. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic002 I banged Lot's wife and licked her salty ass. The fuck do I look like? I'm the one asking the questions here. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic002 Now tell me why you been dropping {droppin'}my name before I get some muscle over here and we find a private place to talk{Talk emphasized}. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic003 I don't give half a dick what you've heard. Now get the fuck out of my face before I burn your sorry ass. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic004 I can pay you for it, of course. I also have some information about the Family's business that you might find interesting. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic004 Between you and I we can break up what they're planning, maybe save some lives... Mine included, of course. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic004 Oh, here are some caps. Now give me the journal. Right, there we go. So let me tell you what I know about the Family's business. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic004 The Bosses, Big Sal and Nero, have been working for a while on this. They're arming themselves like an army, using this new guy, Troike. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic004 They also brought in a specialist named Clanden. At least that's what they introduced him as. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic005 Where the fuck did you get that? {Nervous} Okay, listen buddy... That's some dangerous shit you got there. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic005 That book could get me killed, if the wrong people see it. Let's talk, what do you want? What can I do for you? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic005 Yeah. I hope you're looking to do some business with me. I think it could be mutually beneficial. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic006 I can't stop you, but that's gonna mean my death. I can make it worth your while to give it to me though. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic006 Plus, if you go to the bosses I can't help you stop what they've been doing. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic007 All right, all right. I can't stop you, but I think we can help each other out. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic007 I know Not-At-Home and the NCR would be happy to get some dirt on the Family. I can help you get that dirt, and you got me by the short hairs. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic008 [SUCCEEDED] Okay, you got me by the balls. Here's a couple hundred caps, maybe that'll buy your friendship. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic008 [FAILED] Do I look like some kind of fool? I'm not paying you so you can double deal on me. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic009 You wanna come into a back room and give me a chance? Didn't think so. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic009 Much as I'd love to put my fist through your neck, Mr. House frowns on that kind of behavior, so it'd get me killed just as quick as that book. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic010 Oh? Is that so, well I can't say that I'm sad to see that fucker gone. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic010 I got no fucking idea. They let him have the run of the place though. He seems like a nice guy, but he makes nervous. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic010 He's a little arrogant, but he's too nice. Too open, I've never seen him fucking or gambling. Everyone has a vice, but this guy seems like the Pope. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic011 He's a skittish little fucker. Spends half the day pumping his body full of chems and the other half pumping hookers with his willy. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic011 He has some kind of connections, so he's able to smuggle huge shipments of weapons into the strip. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic011 The bosses got him by the short hairs. We covered up a hooker he killed while flying on some psycho, so he gets us guns in exchange for not ratting. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic011 You took care of Troike already, you don't need to worry about him. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic012 No, just that it involves guns and muscle. Also that it's big. Very big. Only Nero and Big Sal know everything, and they ain't telling. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic013 Damn right you're sorry. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic014 Okay. You can find me here, or upstairs in my room. I'll let the muscle know you're a friend of mine, that should let you get around a little easier. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic015 Okay toss 'em at me. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic016 You better get outside for a little bit. I'm sure they are going to look for the infamous courier when things go to hell. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic016 Yeah, poor fucker got himself caught after he melted all the guns. Bastard mentioned your name before they shot him in the head. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic016 Now the bosses want to see you. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic016 Whoa{surprised}, you managed to pull that off? Solid work. That ought to gum up the bosses' plans. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic016 Well, what the fuck are you talking to me for? Go destroy the damn guns so we can move on. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic016 Yeah, we saw the troopers come through. I can't imagine things are going to work out well for him. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic016 Oh, is that right? Well I guess if he's gone, he's gone. I don't need to know anything more than that. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic016 Oh, is that right? Was that your handiwork? Well I can't say I'm sad to see him go, he gave me the fucking creeps. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic017 Alright, let's have them. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic018 Now we cut off the head of the serpent. Big Sal and Nero have to die. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic019 As long as they're alive, they can start up their plans again. All you've managed to do is stall them. I guarantee you they have contingencies. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic020 They're a little bit upset about what's been done to muck up their plans. They tasked me to find out who's responsible. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic020 There isn't going to be another chance to get both of them together in the same room. I'll slip you a gun and we can take them out. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic021 When they're gone I'm gonna run this joint. Don't worry, I'll take care of the place. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic022 [SUCCEEDED] Alright, I'll take care of them. Just give me the word when to start shooting. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic022 [FAILED] If you aren't a good shot then we're fucked anyways. No, I think you're going to have to do it. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic023 Hurry and get ready. I'll give you a gun when you get to the room. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic023 Hurry and get ready. I'll be waiting for you there when you're ready. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic024 Hurry and get ready. I'll give you a gun when you get to the room. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic024 Hurry and get ready. I'll be waiting for you there when you're ready. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic025 Yeah this is Clanden, this guy is one sick motherfucker. The way I see it you have a few options. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic025 Maybe you could use what's on these tapes to get him by himself, or maybe you could use them to leverage him out of the casino. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic025 I figured you might have that problem. That guy is pretty much a mystery. I did some asking around about him, on the down-low of course. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21CachinoTopic025 Turns out the bosses' plans are right fucked without him. Killing him would probably work wonders, just don't let anyone see you do it. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic000 A little bit of this, and a little bit of that. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic001 I'm a close friend of some of the Family around here. I do some independent contracting around the casino, and they set me up with this great room. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic002 Cachino? Yeah I've heard the name. Not sure why he'd send you to me, is he helping out with room service or something? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic003 {Annoyed}Oh did you now? What business is that of yours, and why the fuck should I care? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic004 Oh, that's great{genuine}. I could sure use some help. You see, I do explosives, and they have a special need for some big explosions. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic004 Problem is, there's no way I can get enough explosives to do the type of damage they're looking to do, much less get it all deployed. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic005 [SUCCEEDED]{Excited} Oh, already? I figured it would be a couple days. Well, let's go meet the lucky lady. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic005 [FAILED]{Laughs} I don't care much about your tastes. Get lost and leave me alone. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic006 Blowing shit up, of course. Thing is, they don't need things to blow up, they need people to die in a fairly large area in a fairly small timeframe. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic006 There are other ways to kill people with bombs aside from explosions, if you know what I mean. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic007 Well, since I can't hope to get all the killing done that they need to get done with bombs, I've been thinking about some alternatives. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic008 [SUCCEEDED] Spot on, you're a bright one. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic008 [FAILED]{Chuckles} Yeah, I could {Emphasized} build a nuke, but I'm not looking to turn the Mojave into a giant mirror. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic008 No, I was thinking something more subtle. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic009 I figure chlorine gas is the way to go. It's toxic, and I can rig it up to do a whole lot of killing in a fairly short timeframe. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic010 Yeah, of course. Ask away. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic011 Okay, come find me whenever you want to chat. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic012 I'm not sure exactly. There is a swimming pool at The Ultra-Luxe, so they probably have some, although I doubt they'd appreciate you taking it. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic012 But they must get it from somewhere, maybe try out in Freeside somewhere. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic013 Hey, you know what I need, find it or I'll find another way to get it. You're the one that offered. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic014 Great. Yeah, this is just what I needed. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic015 Well, look at you! It's so rare I get a volunteer. Yes, let's head to my special room. Follow me, we'll talk there. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic016 Alright, but you're starting to get on my nerves. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic017 Get lost. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic018 I think I should kill you before you have a chance to show those tapes to anyone. What do I have to lose? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic019 [SUCCEEDED] Alright, give me the tapes and I'll leave. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic019 I'm going a long way away from Vegas, but you better hope that you and I never see each other again. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic019 [FAILED] Sorry, but there's no fucking way I'm going anywhere if those tapes aren't with me. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic020 I guess you've made your choice then. Time to die. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21ClandenTopic021 Fuck, I was getting tired of this place anyways. I can find girls to play with somewhere else. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic029 [SUCCEEDED] Oh, confident. I like that. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic029 So, what do you want to do with what you've got? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic030 [FAILED] {Chuckles}Haha, not too bright, huh? It takes caps, honey, lots of them. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic034 All right, honey. What do you want to know? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic035 Yes? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic036 Yes? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic037 You'd best hold your tongue... friend, or someone here will take care of it, for good. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic037 What do you want to know about those sons of bitches? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic038 I'll see you soon, I'm sure. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic038 Follow me, hon. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic038 Follow me, hon. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic038 Follow me, hon. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic038 Okay. See you soon. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic038 Follow me, hon. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic039 [FAILED] Honey, I've had better than just good." And you were being so amusing..." vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic039 Okay, we can have more fun together, but it's not going to be free, hon. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic040 [SUCCEEDED] Oh my, aren't you something else...!? I guess you'll have to see for yourself what I can do, huh? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic040 Consider it on the house vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic041 [SUCCEEDED] Oh my, aren't you something else...!? I guess you'll have to see for yourself what I can do, huh? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic041 Consider it on the house vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic044 Fine. Are you ready? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic045 Well... ladies are always a welcome change. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic045 Fine. Are you ready? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic048 {Irritated Disappointment}Damn shame. Anything else I can do for you? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic049 {Irritated Disappointment}Damn shame. Anything else I can do for you? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic053 Oh, nothing special, hon. I'm the best lay in Gomorrah, and that's all you need to know. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic054 I like that you're here, doesn't that make you happy? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic057 It's your paradise on this desolate earth, hon. Your troubles are gone, your pain forgotten, and your dreams come true. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic058 Everyone wants a piece of their own personal heaven. So, they come here, for hours... and hours, hon{chuckles}. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic058 Military men, NCR ranchers, wandering travelers... they're all the same without their clothes on. What they want, the Omertas provide. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic059 So you've followed the call of your desires... all the way to the arms of Joana, moi. Now that you've found me, I wonder, do you have what it takes? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic059 Yes? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic059 So, what do you want to do with what you've got? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic059 Consider it on the house vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic059 Okay, we can have more fun together, but it's not going to be free, hon. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic059 Look, I can't right now. I just want to leave this place and be with Carlitos. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic061 They run the place as a center for all their dirty scams and extortions. Gambling, sex, drugs, they'll use whatever works to exploit your weaknesses. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic061 Hooker, customer, it doesn't matter. Everyone here's a pawn to the Omertas, playing and dying by their rules. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic062 Nero's the pack leader and Big Sal's his right hand. What Nero wants, Big Sal does. Then there's... Cachino. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic065 What? Have you seen him? Have you talked to him? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic065 Yes? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic066 I... look, we can't talk here. If you think you can help me, follow me to my room, please. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic066 He... does? Wait, this changes everything. I can't leave my girls here... and, where would we go even if we escape? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic066 No. It's too risky, we'll all end up dead. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic066 No. It's too risky, we'll all end up dead. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic066 But the Omertas will want us dead. What are we going to do about that? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic066 Let Carlitos know that we'll be ready when you are. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic067 Okay, what's on your mind? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic069 [FAILED] I'm not, but questions bore me, hon. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic070 [SUCCEEDED] I... look, we can't talk here. If you think you can help me, follow me to my room, please. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic070 [SUCCEEDED] I'm... I don't know what's happening to me. I can't feel a goddamn thing anymore, empty and poisoned like the Wasteland. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic070 I'm afraid I won't make it out of here, not without Carlitos. If the Med-X doesn't kill me first, Cachino or another Omerta will. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic070 Ha, I look pathetic, huh? The great Joana and now... I don't even know why I'm telling you this. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic071 [FAILED] I'm not, but questions bore me, hon. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic072 [SUCCEEDED] I... I didn't think it showed.{Chuckles nervously} I guess that it's worse than I thought. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic072 I... look, we can't talk here. If you think you can help me, follow me to my room, please. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic072 [SUCCEEDED] I... I didn't think it showed.{Chuckles nervously} I guess that it's worse than I thought. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic075 [SUCCEEDED] You sound so sure. Damn it all, you better not make me regret this later. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic075 But the Omertas will want us dead. What are we going to do about that? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic076 [FAILED] Sorry, I can't risk our lives without more guarantees than that. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic078 [SUCCEEDED] To be free and with Carlitos again... Tell him that I still, I - never mind. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic078 Let Carlitos know that we'll be ready when you are. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic079 Thank you so much for your help. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic081 [FAILED] Sorry, I can't risk our lives without more guarantees than that. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic083 He's a filthy monster. I've been with perverted men but Cachino's done things... to me, that - vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic083 Even other Omertas would also want to kill him if they knew what he does. He's broken so many of their rules that I don't know how he still breathes. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic084 Okay, lay down and I'll take care of you. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic085 I'm... I don't know what's happening to me. I can't feel a goddamn thing anymore, empty and poisoned like the Wasteland. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic085 I'm afraid I won't make it out of here, not without Carlitos. If the Med-X doesn't kill me first, Cachino or another Omerta will. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic085 Ha, I look pathetic, huh? The great Joana and now... I don't even know why I'm telling you this. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic085 As I told you, Carlitos was the only thing that kept me alive in this place. Now, I just don't know what'll happen. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic089 He was an Omerta that... fell in love with me. They don't ever mix with people outside the family vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic089 He was planning to escape with me but Cachino found out about us. So he did something, talked, I don't know, and Carlitos disappeared. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic090 Cachino doesn't give a shit about rules, only cares to feed his perversions. He lusted for me, he's done things to me. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic090 Look... I'm stuck here, I know that. Carlitos is the only thing that kept me going, and now I don't have anything left. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic091 What? Have you seen him? Have you talked to him? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic092 {Irritated Disappointment}Damn shame. Anything else I can do for you? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic094 What? Carlitos is alive? Please, tell him that I still love him, that I want to escape with him... please. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic096 If he's alive he's long gone. The Omertas want him dead, now. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic096 If you meet him, anywhere... I'd do anything to get him back and escape this hell, although I'm not keeping my hopes up. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic101 Hon, nobody's given me a free thing before. What's it going to be for you, caps, sex, straps, what? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic102 What? Are you... serious? Well, I'm not complaining, hon. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic102 Thank you so much for your help. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic103 That sounds good, hon. I hope to see you soon. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic104 Yes... I know what you want. And I know how to give it to you, right now. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic108 Yes? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic109 If you meet him, anywhere... I'd do anything to get him back and escape this hell, although I'm not keeping my hopes up. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic116 Follow me, hon. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic117 All right, honey. What do you want to know? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic118 Stay for a while, hon. Jump in bed and let me do the rest. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic135 Yes? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic144 Yes? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic145 Okay, I got clothes I can use for that. When you give the word, I'll let the other girls know and we'll meet you at the lobby. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic147 I'm ready. Just give the word and we'll meet you at the lobby, in an hour. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic147 It's not a good time right now, hon. It's got to be around midnight. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic147 We're ready. Let's get the hell out of here before they recognize us. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic148 Okay. See you soon. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic152 It's now or never, let's go. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21JoanaTopic153 {Urging whisper}Whatever you've got to do, do it quick! vDialogueGomorrahVMS21NeroTopic000 All kinds of business, most of it is ours. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21NeroTopic001 I'll show you what I have, but if it doesn't rock my world then we're going to have a long talk. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21NeroTopic002 I heard, we'll be needing those guns. Word on the street is you handled those Fiend freaks like a real pro. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21NeroTopic002 Yeah, I heard. I wasn't sold on the whole gas thing. He's the expert though. It sounds like this chlorine thing is going to work out real well. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21NeroTopic002 I heard you did some good work for us. Thank you. Here's a little cash from us to you. Try not to spend it all in one place. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21NeroTopic003 I'm not sure I have anything I want to hear from you, but you can have your moment. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21NeroTopic004 Then get the fuck out of my face. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21NeroTopic005 Really? That two-faced son of a bitch. I'm glad now that we kept him mostly out of the loop. Look, we could use your help with some things. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21NeroTopic005 Especially with Cachino gone, we could use another pair of competent hands, and I think you can provide that. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic000 I don't see how that's your business. I'm just a guest here, having a little fun. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic001 Hey man, I don't know nothing. Let me have some peace here, buddy. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic001 Hey man, I don't know nothing. Let me have some peace here, lady. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic002 I keep a little switchblade tucked away with me. You never know when you might find some trouble. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic003 Cachino... Cachino what? Are you kidding me? He must be trying to get me killed. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic003 They're keeping them in a little utility section down off the basement. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic003 I don't know what they're arming themselves for, but I know it isn't for the good of mankind. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic004 Oh man, I don't even like to think about it. All that goddamn blood. It was just in the hotel like any other night. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic004 I took some chems with the girl I was with, but I never {stressed:Never}black out. I did this time though. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic004 Next thing I knew I woke up and she was lying next to me stabbed dead. There was a knife next to the bed and I was covered in her blood. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic005 That night? Mostly buffout, I like to cut it with a little bit of jet, and wash it down with some whiskey. That was my standard Saturday night... vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic006 When I saw the body I started screaming, a few seconds some of their soldiers were in there cleaning up the room. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic006 They offered to keep silent about what happened if I agreed to help them get their hands on large quantities of guns, at deep discounts. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic007 Like I said, pretty standard for me. I can handle my shit. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic008 [SUCCEEDED] What? Yeah, you're right. I wonder what was up with that. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic008 [FAILED] I've done much more than that in a single night and lived to tell the tale. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic009 Alright, have at it. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic010 What do you wanna talk about? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic011 See ya. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic012 You'd do that? For me? I'm not sure what can be done, but you'd be doing me a solid if you would. I've been talking to Big Sal mostly. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic013 Yeah? Well fuck that. The bosses have my number, and I'm a company man while they've got the goods on me. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic014 More power to you if you can, but keep me out of it. I've been doing business with Big Sal, so he's going to be your man. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic015 [SUCCEEDED] Great. So I'm fucked either way. I guess I don't have any choice but to help you. Just try not to get me killed here. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic015 [FAILED] Nothing you could do scares me as much as the Omertas. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic016 [SUCCEEDED] I guess if Cachino trusts you I can tell you a little of what happened. It all started with a prostitute in here. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic016 [FAILED] No way, man. I don't want to think about it, much less talk about it. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic017 Okay, try and be fast about it. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic018 I'm pretty proud of myself. It's a stroke of genius, if I can be so modest. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic018 The whole arrangement starts with an old buddy of mine in the Republic. He's responsible for packing and shipping supplies to the NCR on the Strip. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic018 He marks some containers as food and medical and packs them with guns and other shit. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic018 From there it just took a couple greased palms to get someone to let me cherry pick a container or two out of every shipment. Easy as pie. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic019 Okay, here's the Thermite and a key to the room where the guns are stored. Place the Thermite on the crates in the room. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic019 I rigged the light switch outside the room to kick off a spark big enough to hold the Thermite. That should turn that shit into molten slag. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic019 As soon as we're done talking I'm going to make myself like a ghost. I don't want to be anywhere near here when the bosses find out. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic020 Alright, let's. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic021 Okay, cool. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic022 I've made lots of contacts over the years. I have some friends back in California that can get their hands on just about anything. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic022 Mostly I've been calling in every last favor I have. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic023 [SUCCEEDED] Hey, fuck you. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic023 Alright, I'll place the fucking Thermite myself. You get out of the casino for a bit. I'll take care of it while you're gone. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic023 [FAILED] Nothing you could threaten me with holds a candle to what the Omertas would do to me if they caught me. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic024 Thermite is a mix of rust and aluminum dust. If you add a little heat, a massive{emphasized} amount of heat is spit out. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic024 It gives off enough heat to melt through just about anything. It should make short work of the weapons. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic025 Holy shit, really? Okay, I'll help you, but I'm getting the hell out of here first chance I get. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic026 Yeah, I heard you might be coming. I appreciate the help, I'm in kind of a fix. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic026 I help the Omertas get guns without the NCR catching wind of it. I need someone to cover my ass with the last shipment. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic027 The Fiends, a group of raiders freaked out on chems, stole my last shipment before I could get it into Vegas. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic027 I could sure use some help getting it from them. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic028 I'm pretty proud of myself. It's a stroke of genius, if I can be so modest. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic028 The whole arrangement starts with an old buddy of mine in the Republic. He's responsible for packing and shipping supplies to the NCR on the Strip. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic028 He marks some containers as food and medical and packs them with guns and other shit. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic028 From there it just took a couple greased palms to get someone to let me cherry pick a container or two out of every shipment.

Easy as pie. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic029 Sorry, that's my business and no one else's. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic030 What the hell? You got this from the Fiends already? Hot damn, you really are good. Thanks, this is exactly what I needed. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic031 Great, thanks. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic032 Okay, what do you need to know? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic033 Okay, what's on your mind? vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic034 Alright, you know where to find me. vDialogueGomorrahVMS21TroikeTopic035 Well, hot shit. Thank you. Must have been a real bitch getting it from the Fiends, thanks. vDialogueGreatKhansGenericVRRCGreatKhanaArmoryHFTopic000 Take a look. vDialogueGreatKhansGenericVRRCGreatKhanaArmoryHFTopic001 Then get out of here. vDialogueGrubnGulp1EFitzTopic000 Just a little rest stop that me and my good friend Lupe set up. Last stop on your way into New Vegas, first stop on your way out, that's what I say. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic000 For around five years now. I handle the supply ends of things - raw materials and stuff. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic001 Makers of the finest high-grade weapons and ammunition in the wasteland. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic001 If you ever get your hands on a piece of sweet, deadly hardware, there's a good chance that it came from one of our factories. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic002 Shit. Is he serious? The 25% increase in weapons is doable, but a 50% increase in ammunition is nuts. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic002 We just don't have the supplies on hand to meet that kind of demand for new weapons. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] I guess we'll have to. If Caesar's Legion drives the NCR from the area, there goes ninety percent of our business. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic003 I don't like the idea of buying supplies from our competition, but it's only temporary. We'll call in extra supplies from our distributors. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic003 Let Contreras know we'll have the extra guns and ammo ready for the next shipment. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic003 [FAILED] Oh hell, no. Working with our competition is not an option. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] You're right. I suppose we could refurbish used and damaged weapons to fill the order. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic004 They'll be in like new condition and then we can use our loader to make fresh ammo from spent brass. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic004 We'll have to wait a few days for gunpowder, but this might just work out. Tell Contreras the extra guns and ammo will be in the next shipment. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic004 [FAILED] Sorry, but blackening our reputation with our biggest client isn't worth the risk. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic005 No problem. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic006 Well, I guess so. Look. We just need metal, and lots of it. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic006 We can handle the weapons, we just need extra scrap to melt down for the bullets. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic006 I'll give you some caps for each piece of metal you can bring me. Anything like scrap, cans, or any basic junk made of metal will do. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic006 I'll need at least 100 pieces to have enough for the bullets. I'll cash in whatever you've got until we have enough. Good luck. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic007 None whatsoever. Everything inside the fence is off-limits, and the guards have strict orders to shoot to kill. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic007 A lot of our high-end weaponry comes from Pre-War military schematics. If our competition got a hold of them, it'd be bad for business. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic008 Alright, whatcha got? vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic009 Thanks, that'll help. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic010 Thanks, that'll help. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic011 Thanks, that'll help. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic012 Thanks, that'll help. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic013 Thanks, that'll help. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic014 Thanks, that'll help. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic015 Thanks, that'll help. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic016 Thanks, that'll help. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic017 Thanks, that'll help. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic018 Well, keep at it. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic019 No, not yet. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic019 It looks like that last bit you brought me was enough to fill the quota. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic019 Here are the caps I promised you. Make sure to let Contreras know the extra guns and ammo will be in the next shipment. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic020 Out here, we don't have bosses. Me, the gunsmiths, and the guards all know what we're supposed to be doing. vDialogueGunRunnerNVIsaacTopic020 Working for the Gun Runners is a sweet job. None of us would dare screw it up. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic000 As you may have already heard, this entire base is under a state of lockdown. No one goes out except small patrols at night. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic000 Most of the chapter has been sealed in here for years, and those few who were outside when the lockdown was initiated are forbidden from returning. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic000 Morale has plummeted as time has gone by, and many of our current paladins haven't even seen combat outside of training simulations. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic000 And all because of the Elder's explicit order that no one be allowed in or out. The only way things will change is if a new Elder is installed. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic001 If you change your mind, though, come find me, and we'll talk more. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic002 Why should you trust the Elder? I'd recommend listening to both of us, and choosing whom to trust for yourself. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic002 So are you willing to listen? VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic003 {Proud, but not vain}I would. I'm the senior-most paladin in the Chapter, and have more combat experience than any two others here put together. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic003 I'd gladly support another candidate, but no one has the courage to step forward and make the attempt, so it falls to me. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic003 I would put this chapter back on the right path, if I could just assume leadership. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic004 Veronica's a special case. She handles the procurement of supplies. If we didn't let her and those like her back in, we'd all starve. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic004 If the Elder could manage it, he'd shut them out as well, and all in the name of security. Which is why we need to replace him. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic005 Of course I have. Many times, in fact. The Elder has an open door policy, and will listen to advice on any subject, save this one. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic005 He refuses to see that our isolation is slowly weakening us. Aside from being our duty, going out on missions is what kept us strong. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic005 And because he fails to see that, he must be replaced. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic008 I don't know. I've gone through our records dozens of times looking for a precedent regarding the dismissal of an Elder and come up with nothing. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic008 The people who are most likely to know how it could be done are also some of McNamara's strongest supporters, so they refuse to help me. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic008 Which is why we're having this conversation. An outsider such as yourself would arouse less suspicion asking questions about such matters. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic008 The fact that the Elder has some tasks for you means his faithful won't suspect you, and you have a line open to the man himself. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic008 In short, you're in a perfect position to help me. Will you at least think about it? VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic009 I half expected you to say that. In which case, I'll continue to pursue the matter on my own. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic009 Should you continue dealing with the Elder and find yourself beginning to see my point of view, I'll be around. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic010 That'll have to do. I'd recommend going to see Ramos first. As head of security, he's more familiar with our protocols than anyone else here. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic010 You could also try to find something relevant in our datastore, though last I heard, Scribe Ibsen has having a bit of a problem accessing it. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic010 And if McNamara should give you any tasks, I'd ask that you kept me abreast of them. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic010 Report anything you find to me, and we'll move from there. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic018 What did you have in mind? VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic019 If I become Elder, the lockdown will be lifted, and we'll once again be able to send patrols out into the wastes. We'll become powerful again. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic019 And when that happens, it will be good to have the Brotherhood as an ally. Good enough? VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic020 There are a number of people I'll need to talk to. The process won't be instantaneous, but with this evidence, my path is clear. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic020 It shouldn't take more than a few days, and then we can begin moving forward again. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic021 No, your role in this is done. The rest is up to us. There is much for me to do to make the transition as smooth as possible. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic021 Come back in a few days, and I should be firmly installed as Elder. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic022 While I can't dispute that you've earned our gratitude, I'm afraid you're going to have to be patient. Such a change takes time. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic022 Stop back in a few days, and we can speak of this again. Now, I must be off. There is much to do! VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic023 Yes, I know the loss of the patrols has weighed heavily on his mind for some time. He took it very personally when they first went missing. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic023 That was when I first began to seriously question his ability to lead us. A commander has to be able to deal with the potential loss of his men. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic023 It's strange that he would ask you to find mission discs on them, however. The missing paladins were all on standard patrols, which don't need them. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic023 Only Brothers sent on special assignments are given mission discs. If you should find any on the lost patrols, let me know. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic024 That's a sensible notion. Your familiarity with the nearby terrain makes you perfect as a liason. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic024 I've been trying to get the Elder to send out scouts for years, and he's always been resistant to the idea. Said they'd be a vulnerability. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic024 I wonder what changed his mind. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic025 The filtration system? He wouldn't have you looking if we didn't need those parts badly, which means that system's in real trouble. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic025 If the air filters go, it will become impossible to breathe down here. We'd be forced to evacuate the bunker! VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic025 I can't believe he's kept something like this to himself! We should have every able-bodied person in the chapter working on this. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic025 All the more reason for you to find a way to get McNamara out of that chair, before he dooms us all. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic026 If you must. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic027 Yes, I thought you might, given how much time you've spent here. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic027 That's not usually a request we agree to. Typically, we take in the young, so that they might be trained through adolescence. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic027 In special cases, we allow exceptional individuals to conditionally join. Luckily for you, you happen to be exceptional. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic027 The condition is that you must complete a task. This task must prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that you have what it takes to join the Brotherhood. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic027 I happen to have something perfectly suitable in mind, though I warn you - it won't be easy. Still interested? VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic027 Had second thoughts, did you? We've made some progress since the lockdown was lifted, but the task I had in mind is still available if you want it. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic028 {Increasingly angry}Just as I thought, McNamara gave my men new orders without telling me. The nerve of that man! VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic028 This little stunt is probably what got them killed in the first place. Our normal patrol routes are known to be relatively safe. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic028 This is exactly what I've been looking for! McNamara gave my men new orders without telling me, thereby breaking the Chain That Binds! VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic028 With this, I can finally have him removed as Elder, and end this ridiculous lockdown. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic028 This is exactly the kind of thing I'm trying to avoid by ousting McNamara. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic029 I could hardly call myself Head Paladin if I didn't. It's one of the first things every initiate learns when they start training. What about it? VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic030 Back when we were stationed at HELIOS, our scouts reported that a group was establishing itself in the area as a distributor of Pre-War weapons. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic030 Our Elder at the time, Elijah, was too concerned with getting HELIOS running and fending off the NCR, so he ordered us to leave them alone. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic030 It's time that we correct that oversight, and show this region that the Brotherhood is still a force to be reckoned with. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic030 I want you to visit these weapons dealers, this Van Graff family, and make an example of them. Leave no one alive. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic030 When the job is done, report back and I'll arrange for a team to clean up the site and retrieve the weapons. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic031 I could be wrong, but I think that's a dead end. McNamara's always followed orders, and we've been incommunicado since fleeing HELIOS. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic032 Second part? What are you talking about? VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic033 Then that means I can cast McNamara down for giving those secret orders to my Paladins! Well done! That's exactly what I was looking for! VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic033 That is the standard procedure, yes. For example, McNamara gives orders to Head Scribe Taggart, who then relays further orders to the scribes. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic033 I wasn't aware that failing to do so was punishable, however. Interesting... VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic033 If we can just find an instance where McNamara went around someone and gave orders to their subordinates, we'll have him. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic034 Is that a waver of resolve I sense? The Brotherhood is not in the habit of taking on the timid. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic035 Hmph, I thought you were made of sterner stuff than that. The Brotherhood could use someone with your skills. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic035 In any case, was there something else you wanted? VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic035 Now you're just wasting my time. When you make up your mind, let me know. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic036 Well done. This is a small step in the right direction, but it's damn good to move forward again. Now, I believe congratulations are in order. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic036 It is my honor to bestow up on you the title of Paladin of the Brotherhood, for your meritorious service in its name. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic036 Normally, there'd be a ceremony and such, but everyone is too busy at the moment for such frivolity. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic036 I can give you this, however. Your very own suit of power armor. We can't spare our best, but I had the knights assemble this one for your use. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic036 Which reminds me, you don't even know how to use these, do you? VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic037 It's a travesty, is what it is. Every second we sit on our hands down here is another second that we're not fulfilling our sworn duty. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic038 Do you now? If I didn't already owe you a great deal I'd be highly suspicious right now. You'll have to tell me about it sometime. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic039 Here, I'll show you. It's easy, once you get used to it. First, we'll start with putting it on... VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic040 Not even close. Power armor isn't something you wear so much as {lightly stressed}use. It's a weapon in its own right, and takes skill to wield. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic040 If you don't know what you're doing, you won't even be able to walk with it on. So how about a bit of quick instruction? VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic041 It's not that I dislike the Elder, but I strongly disapprove of his current style of leadership. We're safe, yes, but at what cost? VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic042 After lifting the lockdown, the first thing I'd do is send scouts out to recon the area. We need to know what's going on out there. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic042 Next, I'd resume patrols in the near vicinity, and begin sending search teams out to the spots the scouts reported were relatively safe. VDialogueHiddenValleyEdgarHardinTopic042 It's standard procedure when a chapter relocates to an area, but standard procedure wasn't our last Elder's style, either. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVInitiateStantonTopic000 Great! When you find it, just turn it into Torres and I'll be in the clear. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVInitiateStantonTopic001 Oh, I sort of altered the records after we got back. That was Watkins' idea, too. That girl is nothing but trouble. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVInitiateStantonTopic001 Still, I haven't been exiled yet, or worse, assigned to latrine-cleaning duty. But I will, if you don't help me find that gun. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVInitiateStantonTopic002 Oh man, I am so screwed! Look, if you change your mind, I'd really appreciate it. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVInitiateStantonTopic003 No, no idea. Sorry. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVInitiateStantonTopic004 Okay, see you around. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVInitiateStantonTopic005 Hey, no pressure. I'm just grateful you're willing to help me out. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVInitiateStantonTopic006 I'm pretty sure I dropped in when we made our escape. We had been surrounded and had climbed up on this big rock to hold them off. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVInitiateStantonTopic006 Oh, and I remember seeing a corpse near the rock, too. We never got a chance to check it out since we were too busy fighting for our lives. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVInitiateStantonTopic006 Guess we had better luck than whoever that was, huh? VDialogueHiddenValleyHVInitiateStantonTopic007 Good luck! VDialogueHiddenValleyHVInitiateStantonTopic008 No, weapon check-in protocol includes verifying the serial number of the weapon, so a different gun would be noticed. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVInitiateStantonTopic008 Plus, having a new gun suddenly show up would immediately point to you, being the only outsider around here and all. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVInitiateStantonTopic008 No, the only way I have out of this is if you help me find that gun. You'll help me, right? VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic000 Really? What kind of logs? What kind of data does he have on it? VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic000 Great, I'd love to take a look at that log data. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic001 {Surprise}Did... did you say Poseidon Energy? I've been researching some Poseidon projects here. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic001 Do you think you could leave your robot with me for a few days? I have some materials that I can use to upgrade his armor while he's here. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic002 {Beat}...So now I'm going to have your death on my conscience, too. Great. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic005 {Initially outraged}What were you doing looking at my terminal? {Distracted, calmer}No, never mind that. You can't tell anyone about what you found! VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic005 There'd be widespread panic. The Elder has the situation under control. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic006 {Resigned}...Yes. When I first discovered how much the systems had deteriorated, I reported it to the Elder right away. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic006 He told me he'd take action right away, and sent out several patrols to search for parts. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic007 {Panicked}No! Please don't! Everyone would blame me! Look, I'll do whatever you want, just name it! VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic008 {Relieved}Thank you. There's no telling what would happen if everyone were to suddenly find out, but I trust it wouldn't be good. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic009 Fine, but you're making a big mistake. Hardin isn't half the leader that McNamara is. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic011 {Sad}Okay, but I'd really like to take a look at him. Remember, I'll be able to give his armor some extra plating while I've got him here. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic012 {scornful, with a little hysteria}You think you're the first person the Elder's trusted with this? He sent three of our patrols out looking for those components, and they're all dead. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic012 I was the one who supplied the Elder with the location of possible sites where we could find the components, so their deaths are my fault. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic012 {speaking somewhat quickly, nervous}And now it's your turn. Well, don't say you weren't warned. I won't take the blame when you die horribly. But I can tell you're getting impatient. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic013 No, I heard you quite clearly. You're being sent off to be killed like the others. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic015 The items I'll need to keep the system running are a differential pressure controller, a reverse pulse cleaner, and several {HEP-uh} HEPA cartridge filters. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic015 At present, my best guess for finding the items would be to search any of the old vaults in the area. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic015 Those vaults were usually built much like these military bunkers, even using the same contractors in their constructions at times. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic015 I'll mark the vaults' locations on your map. Best of luck to you. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic016 {Had serious doubts the player could do it}Really? I mean, that's great! I knew you could do it all along. I'll get right to work installing these. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic016 Why don't you go tell the Elder the good news. I'm sure it'll be a huge load off of his shoulders. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic017 It's amazing that you've found any of them and not gotten gruesomely mangled. Keep up the good work! VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic018 I don't want to rush you or anything, but time is of the essence. Please try to find those components as soon as you can. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVKnightEDETopic019 Sure, what about? VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic000 Standard practice. Rangers operate on our own most of the time. And that's how we like it. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic000 Usually we call in our positions to McCarran to be relayed to other rangers, but I can handle myself. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic000 I'm sure as hell not going to lose any sleep on account of a goddamn broken down radio. But it will shorten my stay if I can't fix it. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic002 You're a strange one, aren'tcha? Fine, what did you want to talk about? VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic004 Criminal scum that've infested this region, attacking caravans and regular folk just passing through. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic004 The dangerous ones are roamers, though there's another group that mostly stays put, over at the prison southwest of here. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic004 The NCR mounted an attack not long ago but they just used regular troops - no rangers - so that didn't amount to anything. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic004 Criminal scum that've infested this region, attacking caravans and regular folk just passing through. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic004 The dangerous ones are roamers, though there's another group that mostly stays put, over at the prison southwest of here. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic004 So far the brass haven't mustered up enough men to take the prison back. Long overdue if you ask me. But I'm just one man. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic004 Criminal scum that've infested this region, attacking caravans and regular folk just passing through. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic004 The dangerous ones are roamers, though there's another group that mostly stays put, over at the prison southwest of here. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic004 Or so they did, 'til NCR brass finally mustered up enough troops to take out the trash. Wish I could've been there. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic007 {Disbelief, thinks player's crazy}A Brotherhood base? Here? Are you shitting me? No one's seen them for years. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic007 I don't suppose you've got a scrap of evidence to support this wild-eyed claim of yours? VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic008 I'll be. Let me take a look at that. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic008 All this is, is a slave collar. Seen plenty of these infernal contraptions in my day, and I know just how to spring 'em. Hold still. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic008 There, it's off. Now thing is, a slave collar seems a little too basic for the Brotherhood. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic008 That's not to say I don't believe you, {but}bu- did you just hear something? VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic008 I'll be. Let me take a look at that. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic008 All this is, is a slave collar. Seen plenty of these infernal contraptions in my day, and I know just how to spring 'em. Hold still. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic008 There, it's off. Now thing is, a slave collar seems a little too basic for the Brotherhood. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic008 That's not to say I don't believe you, just that maybe you got your facts mixed up a little. Let's head back to my camp and go over what you saw. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic009 I've been trying to get that damn thing working for days, and you decided to just start tinkering with it? Let me see that. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic009 [SUCCEEDED] I've been trying to get that damn thing working for days, and you think you fixed it in a few minutes? Let me see that. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic009 [FAILED] The hell you did. I know enough about electronics to know that what you were doing wasn't fixing it. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic009 So I'll give you one more chance to tell me what you were doing. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic010 Okay, but if I find you messing with it again, there'll be hell to pay, you hear me? VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic010 Didn't look like nothing to me. Draw! VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic010 Just kidding. You weren't doing any harm that I could see. So what do you think? Can it be fixed? VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic010 Didn't look like nothing to me. Draw! VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic011 Well, at least you're man enough to admit it. Now get the hell out of here. If I see you again, it'll be through my rifle's sight. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic012 Oh? And in your expert opinion, why would that be? VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic013 [SUCCEEDED] You've seen that with your own two eyes? VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic013 Goddamn, I knew Cooke's gang passed through these parts 'bout that frequently, but I didn't know they holed up here. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic013 Be a rude awakening, to find fifteen of those merciless bastards looking down at me snoozing on my bedroll! VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic013 Yep, I'd be better off setting up an ambush along one of their routes to catch stragglers. Thanks for the information. You may've saved my life. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic013 [FAILED] See now, thing is, I fancy myself a bit of a tracker. And I don't see much in the way of tracks 'round here. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic013 Could say that's on account of the dust storms. But if there were criminals using these bunkers as hideouts, I'd know. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic014 I see. Well, I'll take that under advisement. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic015 Now why would I do that? You see some powder gangers on the approach or something? VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic016 Well, I was thinking I might set this bunker up as a safehouse. Between the remote location and the dust storms, I figured it was ideal. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic016 'Course, seems a lot less remote since you showed up. Plus I haven't been able to get my radio working, and a safehouse's no good without one. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic016 I reckon I'll stick around awhile, patrol for troublemakers, see if I can get that radio working. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic016 Well, I thought I might set up a safehouse in one of the bunkers here. Between the remote location and the dust storms, I figured it was ideal. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic016 'Course, seems a lot less remote since you showed up. Plus I haven't been able to get my radio working, and a safehouse's no good without one. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic016 I reckon I'll stick around awhile, patrol for troublemakers, see if I can get that radio working. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic017 Dobson's my name. I'm an NCR Ranger, operating out of Camp McCarran north of here. Redding man by birth, though. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic018 The desert can play tricks on a man's mind. Don't let it bother you overmuch. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic019 What? Let me see that. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic019 What? That's great. I'll have to check it out when I head back tonight. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout01Topic001 You speak truly, for it is unlikely that an outsider would know both the Elder's name and that passphrase. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout01Topic001 Very well. I've been observing the penal facility there in the distance for some time now, after having followed some rather disturbing rumors. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout01Topic001 {Attack hasn't happened}The facility was run by the NCR for a time, but the prisoners overcame their guards and now use the prison as a base from which to conduct raids. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout01Topic001 What puzzles me is why these men have been allowed to run wild for so long unchecked. Why has the NCR not retaken this place? VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout01Topic001 Give this to the Elder. My observations are all within. Perhaps he will have a better idea of what this situation portends. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout01Topic001 {NCR won}The facility was run by the NCR for a time, but the prisoners overcame their guards and used the prison as a base from which to conduct raids. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout01Topic001 Eventually, the NCR got around to putting the prisoners down, but not until they had wreaked havoc on nearby trade routes. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout01Topic001 Give this to the Elder. My observations are all within. Perhaps he will have a better idea of what this situation portends. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout01Topic001 {NCR lost}The facility was run by the NCR for a time, but the prisoners overcame their guards and used the prison as a base from which to conduct raids. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout01Topic001 Eventually, the NCR tried to put the prisoners down, but they were overwhelmed by them, and haven't sent troops to the area since. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout01Topic001 Give this to the Elder. My observations are all within. Perhaps he will have a better idea of what this situation portends. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout01Topic004 My purpose here is none of your concern. Now leave me be or I'll be forced to defend myself. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout01Topic005 See that you do. I'd advise you to avoid the prison over there. It's overrun by barbarians and the whole place may become a battlefield at any time. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout02Topic001 Strange that the Elder should send an outsider, but I suppose he has his reasons. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout02Topic001 My observations have mostly focused on the small town to the south of here. It was cruelly attacked, its inhabitants slain nearly to the last. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout02Topic001 That such an act could occur so far west is nearly unthinkable. The NCR has forces in all directions, and an outpost scant miles west from here. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout02Topic001 That they have not responded to this violence shows either an unwillingness or inability to properly defend their borders, which is telling. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout02Topic001 I've collected such musings in this report. Please take it to the Elder. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout02Topic002 That's none of your business. I suggest you head back the way you came. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout02Topic003 If so, you may wish to go around that town to the south. It's been taken by slavers, and they seem to be waiting for something, or someone. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout03Topic001 The Elder must know of what happened here. Take this report to him. It contains my notes on these events. Maybe he'll make some sense of it all. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout03Topic001 Then I am sworn to report. I've been dividing my time between the camps to the north and south of here. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout03Topic001 One belongs to the NCR, the other to a band of slavers known as Caesar's Legion. I was sure the NCR would quickly win, but that has not happened. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout03Topic001 Instead, the two sides have reached a stalemate, and only occasionally send skirmishers against one another. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout03Topic001 If I didn't know better, I'd say neither side is confident enough to push for a full victory. Which seems strange given the NCR's technological edge. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout03Topic001 In any event, I've recorded my findings in this report. Please deliver it to the Elder. I am sure he will find the contents most interesting. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout03Topic001 Instead, the two sides maintained a long stalemate, and only after an extended duration did the NCR finally destroy its opponent. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout03Topic001 When they did, it appeared they did so with the help of fresh reinforcements. I do not believe they could have managed the feat without them. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout03Topic001 That savages such as these could last so long against the NCR is troubling. Please, take my findings to the Elder. He'll know what to make of this. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout03Topic001 Instead, the two sides maintained a long stalemate, and after an extended time the slavers rose up and slaughtered the NCR to the man. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout03Topic001 That barbarians with such crude weapons could crush a foe that defeated us is food for much thought. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout03Topic001 Here, take my report to the Elder. He must be made aware of what happened here. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout03Topic001 Instead, the two sides maintained a long stalemate, and after some time fighting broke out and both sides were mysteriously wiped out. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout03Topic001 Things were rather chaotic, so I wasn't able to see exactly what happened, or who did the deed, but seeing the NCR suffer such a loss was a shock. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout03Topic002 I've no reason to disclose the purpose of my actions to a stranger. Please leave. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScout03Topic003 Do that. And take care to avoid the valley to the east, if you know what's good for you. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic000 Yeah, I'm in charge of keeping this data system up and running, but accessing it is a little, ah, touch and go at the moment. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic001 One of our exploratory patrols - back when we had exploratory patrols - found a data disc in some ruins out in the waste. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic001 Well, we finally got around to cataloging the damn thing and got shut out of our own datastore the second it loaded. Turns out it had a virus on it. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic002 Oh, there are patrols. Just not exploratory ones. We've been in a state of lockdown for... well, let's just say it's been a while. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic002 The only time anyone gets to go topside is guard duty. Or to gather provisions. Other than that, it's steel walls and fluorescent lights for us. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic003 Nah, it's not so bad. The world outside isn't exactly a paradise, you know? Still, you can only breathe recirculated air for so long. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic003 We've got more than a few people in here who are going a little stir crazy. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic004 Yeah, some Pre-War jackass with too much time on his hands apparently decided to inflict his misery on those around him. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic004 It's scrambling all the terminals here at the moment. Luckily, we only use this section for storing historical data. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic005 I suppose it couldn't hurt to get another pair of eyes on this. Maybe you'll be able to come up with something coming at it fresh. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic005 While the entire system is infected, the virus itself is spread across three terminals. The problem is that it keeps moving periodically. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic005 We'll have it nailed down in a terminal or two, only to have it jump to another set of terminals before we locate the third. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic006 {Testy, Frustrated}I don't have time to think about silly things like politics right now. My main concern right now is getting this blasted datastore up and running. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic006 I can understand how the man might be frustrated by the current situation. He's a take-charge sort of fellow. Standing around's not his strong suit. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic006 I myself often wish we could end this interminable stasis and begin moving forward again. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic007 You'll need to locate it on three different terminals in this area in one minute. Any longer and it'll jump, and you'll have to start all over. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic007 Locating the virus would probably be nearly impossible, but the pompous little bastard that wrote it made things a little easier for us. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic007 Normally, terminals infected by the virus just display gibberish, but we found that terminals the virus moved to had some real data passed to them. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic007 We were able to decrypt the data and discovered that it was just messages from the virus's writer, taunting his victims. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic007 When you find terminals with those messages, lock them down and move on. Find three of them before the virus jumps, and we'll wipe the damn thing. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic008 That's... not really for me to say. It's a bit of a touchy subject. You should probably forget I mentioned it. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic009 Please, don't let me stop you. I know what it's like to have a lot on your mind. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic010 You and me both. The Elder wants this data store operational pronto, but it doesn't look like the damn thing will be working anytime soon. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic011 I could use some assistance, sure, but I highly doubt you have the technical background to help us deal with this virus. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic015 Best of luck to you. I'll tell the others to take a break so they don't get in your way. Oh, and I'll keep track of when it jumps for you. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic015 To maximize your chances, wait for my signal before you begin. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic016 We'll get it eventually, but it's frustrating that it's taking so long. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic017 [SUCCEEDED] What? No, that... that's brilliant! It would let us seal a portion of the virus to a particular terminal, even when the other parts move. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic017 [FAILED] Along with all of the crucial data contained within. That'd be like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic018 I'm almost out of ideas, so you'd be more than welcome to. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic019 All right. I'll monitor when it jumps. When I give the signal, start checking terminals. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic020 We'll continue our own efforts in the meantime. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic021 I suppose I could take a small break, but I can only spare a little time. Ask away. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic022 {Excited, this is his favorite subject}Oh, all kinds of things! There was already information regarding the layout and systems of this bunker, but we've since added our own data as well. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic022 Prior to the lockdown, we had extensively scouted the surrounding area, and compiled dossiers on nearby points of interest. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic023 Yes, did you have an idea that might help us? VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic024 I do that all the time myself. One moment I'll think I've solved the conundrum, and the next I'm back to square one. Don't let it bother you. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic024 Was there something else you wanted? VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic025 Well, you'd have to get a senior-level member of the chapter to unlock a topic for you. I've given you access to what I can, but that's not much. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic025 The majority of topics fall under Ramos's aegis, since they'd constitute a security risk. Good luck getting anything out of him. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVScribeIbsenTopic025 You might have better luck with another member of the senior staff. Try talking to them about it. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVTorresTopic000 Our patrols are always bringing more stuff in. Take a look. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVTorresTopic001 If you happen to find it, bring it here right away. I might be able to throw a few supplies your way if you do. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVTorresTopic003 If you must know, my inventory check this week shows that our weapon count is one short. Somehow we're missing a laser pistol. VDialogueHiddenValleyHVTorresTopic003 Hardin will have my head if I don't find that weapon soon. I can't delay my report to him any longer. VDialogueHiddenValleyLindaSchulerTopic000 Yes, I handle all medical needs in the bunker. If you're ever wounded, I can treat you, for a fee. VDialogueHiddenValleyLindaSchulerTopic000 Normally I'd just be the base's medical officer, but my other duties say otherwise. VDialogueHiddenValleyLindaSchulerTopic008 We have equipment here to treat most physical injuries - lacerations, broken bones, that sort of thing. We also carry a full supply of antitoxins. VDialogueHiddenValleyLindaSchulerTopic008 You may have noticed the Bark Scorpions up above. Though tiny, their venom packs quite a punch. Treating scorpion stings is my most common procedure. VDialogueHiddenValleyLindaSchulerTopic008 I can also treat any form of radiation sickness you pick up out in the waste, no matter what stage, save the last. VDialogueHiddenValleyLindaSchulerTopic009 I'm this bunker's Head Scribe in everything but name. I supervise the research teams. I collate the reports. I attend the meetings. VDialogueHiddenValleyLindaSchulerTopic009 But for reasons beyond me, that buffoon Taggart still gets the title. And don't get me started on that little pet of his. VDialogueHiddenValleyLindaSchulerTopic009 Everyone around here knows what's going on there but her. VDialogueHiddenValleyLindaSchulerTopic010 If you wish. VDialogueHiddenValleyLindaSchulerTopic011 Oh, I tried. The elder listened patiently to my carefully constructed argument regarding why that buffoon should lose his position. VDialogueHiddenValleyLindaSchulerTopic011 Then he just as patiently explained to me that Taggart's work was vital to our cause, and that he wasn't to be trifled with lesser matters."" VDialogueHiddenValleyLindaSchulerTopic011 But vital to our cause? Hardly. VDialogueHiddenValleyLindaSchulerTopic012 She's cute, isn't she? Like a puppy, almost. Unfortunately, our Head Scribe's intentions toward her aren't quite so innocent. VDialogueHiddenValleyLindaSchulerTopic013 I don't appreciate how much harder I have to work to cover for his tendency to focus on his personal projects. VDialogueHiddenValleyLindaSchulerTopic013 I try not to think too much about his personal proclivities. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic000 It's our virtual reality training hall. We don't really go out all that often anymore, so this is how we stay sharp. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic001 Head Scribe Taggart quickly realized my extraordinary talent when I took the mandatory VR combat testing. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic001 Soon after that, he requested that I get transferred to VR specialist training, serving as his assistant. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic001 I miss hanging out with the other students all the time, but at least I get to skip all those boring lectures. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic002 Yeah, a lot more. Back when we were at the HELIOS station. Er, crap. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic002 I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to talk about that, especially with outsiders, so forget you just heard that, okay? VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic003 Well, like just about everyone else here, I grew up in the Brotherhood. My father was a Scribe and my mother a Paladin. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic004 They both died at HELIOS One. The others were always like a family to me before that, but afterward they became my family in truth. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic005 I don't know, I'm a little like both of them I guess. If I had to choose, I really don't know which I'd pick. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic005 That's a question I've been asked a lot lately, since it's something I have to decide for myself soon. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic006 That was so much fun! The wind whipping through our hair, not knowing what was going to jump out at us at any moment. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic006 And when those scorpions came out! It was just like the sims! All I had to do was line then up and squeeze the trigger. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic006 I doubt I'll be able to get Stanton to go with me again, though. I thought he'd enjoy it as much as I did, but he was just scared the whole time. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic006 Don't tell him I told you this, but when those scorpions surrounded us, I'd bet a week's rations he pissed himself! VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic012 I'm currently an Apprentice in the Brotherhood, and recently became eligible for Journeyman status. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic012 But first, I have to decide which Order I want to join - the Knights or the Scribes. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic013 Okay. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic014 Knights are in charge of all of our equipment. Power armor, gatling lasers, you name it. All of it built and maintained by Knights. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic014 Knights also get to go out on patrols, scouting assignments, and support the Paladins in offensive operations. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic014 Being a Knight would mean getting to see more of the world, fight the Brotherhood's enemies, and possibly someday become a Paladin like my mother. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic015 The Scribes are responsible for discovering how all the old tech we recover actually works and sometimes even work on inventing new things. VDialogueHiddenValleyMelissaWatkinsTopic015 Without them, the Brotherhood could never fulfill its mission. Or at least, that's what my dad always used to say. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic000 I'm glad I can count on you. Oh, and one other thing. The patrols each had a holotape detailing their missions that you can use to track them. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic000 The shielding of the bunker prevents us from actively tracking them, but their positions should show up on your map once you get to the surface. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic000 Should our worst fears become realized, please bring back all three of the holotapes from the patrols. Otherwise, bring our brothers home. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic000 I've given the order that you be given access to some of the equipment our scouts and patrols have scavenged over the years. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic000 You won't be allowed to purchase any prohibited equipment, but hopefully some of what's available will prove useful to you. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic002 {Solemn}They were all dead, then. I suppose I'm not surprised. We have few friends in the world above, and many enemies. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic002 But we must turn our minds to other matters. When I sent out those patrols, I also sent three Knights out on scouting missions. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic002 When the patrols failed to return, we assumed the worst and sent a single communication to the scouts to hold position and maintain radio silence. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic002 I want you to contact those scouts and gather their reports. Like the patrols, they have devices on them that will enable you to track them. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic002 When you find them, tell them you're my representative and ask them if the bears are still hunting. That should get them to talk to you. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic002 Return when you've gathered all of their reports. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic003 While that is disheartening news, there remains hope that the other two patrols may still be found alive. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic003 See me as soon as you've found them. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic004 T-That is unfortunate. As long as there is a chance to find the remaining patrol, however, I must still ask you to try. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic004 Return when you have found them. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic005 Remain diligent, outsider. If those patrols are in trouble, every second you delay lessens their chances of rescue. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic006 {Relieved, sighs}Good news for a change. Your efforts have humbled me, outsider. You have done more than I could expect, even from my Brothers. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic006 Moreover, I've been going over the scouts' reports and keep coming up with the same conclusion. The NCR is not the threat I've believed it to be. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic006 We should not have had to rely on your help in this crisis. I believed my actions were guided by caution and prudence, but I now see the truth. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic006 People called me a hero after what happened at HELIOS, but I left that battle scarred by fear, and have allowed that weakness to govern my actions. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic006 That ends now. I will undo the wrong I have done my brethren, and lift the lockdown. With luck, we will once again flourish. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic006 Please, take this. It is a small token of my thanks, and scarcely begins to repay the debt owed you, but is all I am allowed to give an outsider. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic006 This key will allow you to use our safehouse to the northeast. I hope it will prove useful in your travels. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic007 Please make all haste in your search. It is imperative that I know the results of his mission. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic008 Good, let's take a look... Hmmm, if I'm reading this right, it appears that the NCR's grip on this region is nowhere near as firm as I thought. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic008 I'll have to review these in detail, but these reports have given me much to think about. Thank you, outsider. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic008 You've become someone I can count on, so I believe I can share something rather confidential with you. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic009 Well, return when you have. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic010 While that is disheartening news, there remains hope that the other two patrols may still be found alive. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic011 T-That is unfortunate. As long as there is a chance to find the remaining patrol, however, I must still ask you to try. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic012 {Solemn}I suppose I am not surprised. We have few friends in the world above, and many enemies. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic013 Keep looking for them. The information they have is vital. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic014 You've certainly earned the right, but I'm afraid there's a slight matter of protocol that must be dealt with first. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic014 Exceptional individuals, like yourself, {slightly stressed}are sometimes allowed to join the Brotherhood if they perform a valuable service for it. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic014 While your actions up to this point have been commendable, I'm afraid they don't quite qualify as such a service. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic014 However, I do have another task that fits the bill rather nicely. Would you consider undertaking it? VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic014 The task I had in mind is still available, if you're up for it. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic015 As one of our patrols discovered, the mutants just to the northeast have become strangely violent in the years we were secluded. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic015 However, this turn of events could also be an opportunity. We mostly left the equipment of the communications array there alone, out of respect. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic015 As the inhabitants have now proven themselves hostile, no more respect will accorded them. Making their equipment fair game. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic015 I want you to head up to the summit of Black Mountain and install this remote signal transmitter in one of their consoles. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic015 It will allow us to tap into the radar and other detection systems running there, assuming they're still operational. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic015 If we're going to operate on the surface again, it would be nice to do so with as much information at our fingertips as possible. Good luck. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic016 Then allow me to explain our situation. This bunker is currently locked down, allowing no entry or exit, with you being one of the few exceptions. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic016 In exceptional cases, teams are sent out to investigate sites or retrieve materials deemed too important to ignore. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic016 Three such teams have gone missing recently, and the news of their disappearance has not yet been widely spread to avoid undue concern. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic016 In order to maintain the peace, and adhere to the strictures of the lockdown, I need to send someone else to discover what happened to them. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic018 Then that is your choice. If you should change your mind, please return. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic020 The less who are aware of this situation, the better. My brothers and sisters were deeply traumatized by the losses we incurred several years ago. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic020 It would be imprudent to worry them unduly without first discovering the facts of the situation. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic021 I can spare a little time. What did you want to talk about? VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic024 That is sad news, indeed, and I thank you for making your way here to convey it to us, but now the issue remains that an outsider knows our location. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic025 I'm afraid that's not a possibility at the moment. Let's just say that your eventual safe departure from here relies on how forthcoming you are. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic025 That said, I'd like you to tell me why you're here. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic026 I applaud your commitment to your own word, though it saddens me to hear of the fate of our comrades. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic028 Accident or no, we both now find ourselves in an uncomfortable situation. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic029 Yes, you exploited his fear of Powder Gangers very effectively. The collar includes a microphone, you see. Part of the test. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic029 He'll keep his distance, setting ambushes, never suspecting that these bunkers house something far more dangerous to him than criminals. Well-played. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic030 I see. And he's not particularly likely to come back, since he's learned that the bunkers here aren't secure enough to serve as safehouses. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic030 It's not a foolproof solution, but indirect methods rarely are. What matters is that you drove him off without alerting him to our presence. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic031 I would like you to find the components we need to fix this bunker's air filtration system. I cannot overstate the importance of this task. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic031 See Senior Knight Lorenzo for the details. He's the one who brought the matter to my attention, and the only other person who is aware of it. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic032 The device that creates the sandstorms above, that masks our comings and goings, was only intended to be used in case of emergencies. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic032 It was never meant to be used with any regularity, and the other systems here were not designed to accommodate such usage. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic032 In particular, the air filtration system simply cannot handle the quantity of sand and grit that it's been forced to cope with these last few years. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic032 As a result, the system is failing, albeit slowly. I'm told we have scant few months before it shuts down completely. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic032 Should that happen, it will quickly become impossible to breathe here in the bunker. Already the air quality begins to slightly worsen. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic033 Do not hesitate, my friend. Learn from my mistake and go boldly, one way or the other. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic034 Regrettable, but understandable. Should you change your mind, return here. I will hold off on assigning the task to my brethren, for now. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic035 Yes, we've already started receiving telemetry from it. This will be a great help in our future efforts, and I thank you. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic035 Now then, it is my great honor to bestow upon you the title of Paladin of the Brotherhood, for meritorious service above and beyond the call of duty. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic035 I'm afraid a formal ceremony was out of the question given our current state, but I hope this will make up for it. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic035 I had the knights refurbish a suit of our power armor for your use. It's one of the earlier models, but it should serve you well. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic035 Now, I suppose I'm going to have to show you how to use it, aren't I? VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic036 Would you like to tell me where you learned such a thing? VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic036 No, don't bother. A person as well-traveled as yourself is bound to pick up all kinds of skills, I suppose. Luckily, that's not all I have for you. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic037 First, let's go over how to put it on... VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic038 If only it were that simple. Think of power armor as a machine to be operated rather than clothing you'd wear. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic038 With a little instruction, using it becomes as natural as simple movement, but to the ignorant, it's just so much heavy junk. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic038 So let's bring you up to speed, shall we? VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic039 It's a protective measure that was enacted after our defeat at HELIOS. The NCR was hot on our heels, and we wouldn't have survived another encounter. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic039 It was decided that we would stay quiet for a time, heal the wounded, and try to come up with a new strategy. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic039 However, after we had fully recuperated, our first scouting measures showed that the NCR's presence in this region had only increased in our absence. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic039 There are now more than five times the number of NCR troops in the area as when we fought them, and we have half the number we did at HELIOS. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic039 And so the lockdown has been extended. To go outside would be the death of us all. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic040 We have some personnel that are allowed to travel on the surface. They trade for what we need, and occasionally drop off what they acquire. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic040 We make sure that they only enter or leave the bunker while the sandstorm is active, to avoid detection. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic041 All right. What did you wish to speak about? VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic043 That is this base's defensive system. It serves as camouflage and masks all entry and exit from the bunker. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic043 We use it to hide our patrols and supply runners, though we still send such out at night to be extra safe. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic044 We were overrun, plain and simple. My Brothers fought with great courage, but in the end the enemy was just too many. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic044 When the tide of the battle turned for the worse, our Elder was nowhere to be found, and everything was chaos. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic044 Fully half of our forces had already fallen. I gathered up those I could find and we fought our way here. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic044 This place had been briefly discussed as a fallback point, though at the time none really believed that could possibly become necessary. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic044 That's it, really. There was nothing glorious about the battle, just a nightmare of screams, blood, and death. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic045 Oh yes, he's been trying for quite some time. Hardin has been strongly opposed to the lockdown from the first. It goes against his nature, you see. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic045 Hardin's the type to fight to the last, and die rather than surrender. It's a good trait to have in a soldier, and a bad one to have in a leader. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic045 Don't let his actions bother you. He's only doing what he thinks is best for the chapter. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic046 Yes, I've always known they were. Luckily, they don't know exactly where we are. And even if they did, our position here is fortified. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic046 And assuming they managed to breach the bunker, I would be forced to activate our failsafe system. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic046 Better we all die than allow the technology we have here to fall into such unworthy hands. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic046 I suppose it was only a matter of time. I wonder if, given the NCR's current situation, they would consider a truce of sorts? VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic046 We've given up our claim to HELIOS, and we don't have any interest in claiming Hoover Dam, so our ambitions are not at crossed purposes. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic046 Perhaps it's time for a new strategy. Go to the NCR commander and tell her the Brotherhood is willing to put aside our enmity for the time being. VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic046 Further, tell her that we are willing to send troops to aid in their coming defense of the Dam. My guess is they're in no position to refuse. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosHELIOSStory I'm sure someone's told you all this before. Several years back, we were running our chapter out the HELIOS One solar power station. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosHELIOSStory Our Elder at the time, Elijah, had some kind of obsession with the place. Which is the only reason we stayed as long as we did. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosHELIOSStory That place was hardly defensible, and we knew the NCR was moving in on us, but the Elder refused to budge, insisting that he just needed more time"." VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosHELIOSStory We never found out what he needed the time for. Wave upon wave of NCR troopers hit us from all directions. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosHELIOSStory We held out for a time, but we were grossly outnumbered, and they had more men than we had ammo. Eventually our positions collapsed. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosHELIOSStory Elder Elijah was nowhere to be found, so McNamara took charge and led what remained of us on a counter-offensive west. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosHELIOSStory We lost a lot of men and women, but we broke through and made it here. Make no mistake, McNamara saved this chapter that day. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic000 An interesting story. It may even be true. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic000 Under normal circumstances, your story wouldn't make any difference. You'd be dead already. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic000 Lucky for you - probably - Elder McNamara wants to meet you. So follow me. Closely. Or you'll be killed. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic001 The password you gave is valid, but old. The only way you could have gotten it is from one of our lost patrols. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic002 I'm the one asking the questions right now, and you still haven't answered me. I suggest you start doing so. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic003 That's no longer an option, on account of you having one of our passwords. Now if you'd stop stalling, I'd really like to know where you learned it. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic004 {Thinks you're from one of the lost patrols}[You hear static.] VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic004 We were getting a little worried. Where's your partner? No, on second thought, don't tell me. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic004 Give your report to the Elder, then have the doc look your over. Oh, and welcome back. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic004 [You hear static.] VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic004 Stay where you are. I'm sending someone up to meet you. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic005 Not on my watch you won't. You either go with me to the Elder or I put you in the ground right here. Choose. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic006 {Sighs}Your call. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic007 That's right. Nothing gets in or out of here without me knowing it. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic008 Normally, that would have fallen under my jurisdiction, but the Elder thought it'd provide a good test for you, so I backed off. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic009 {Laughs}Yeah, I knew about it. They're still young, and they weren't going to go very far. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic009 I had them on my monitors the whole time. I almost headed out there when they got surrounded by those scorpions, but Watkins is a hell of a shot. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic010 Under the lockdown, only essential personnel are permitted to enter or leave. That includes supply runners and high security patrols. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic010 All other personnel are forbidden to leave, and any personnel that were out there when the lockdown was enacted are forbidden from returning. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic011 Fine by me. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic012 So you've been talking to Hardin, eh? He's been looking for a way to usurp McNamara ever since the lockdown started. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic012 Don't get me wrong, he's a good man, but Elder McNamara's done all right by us. If it weren't for him, none of us would have survived at HELIOS. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic012 I'll tell you what I told Hardin. There have only been a few cases of Elders being dismissed from their posts in the Brotherhood's history. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic012 And those involved crimes that someone like Elder McNamara is just not capable of. You can look it up for yourself, if you want. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic012 I'll grant you access to that portion of the history section of our datastore. See Senior Scribe Ibsen about accessing it. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic013 {Thinks you're from one of the lost patrols}[You hear static.] VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic013 We were getting a little worried. Where's your partner? No, on second thought, don't tell me. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic013 Give your report to the Elder, then have the doc look your over. Oh, and welcome back. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic013 [You hear static.] VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic013 Stay where you are. I'm sending someone up to meet you. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic021 That's an old, old principle that's been around since the Brotherhood was founded. It basically means that you have to obey a superior officer. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic021 It's pretty much common sense, but it gets invoked a lot when people get pissy about following orders. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic021 If you're curious, I'll give you access to the datastore entry on it. You'd probably be the first to read it in years, if not decades. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosWhoIsElijah Who {emph}was Elijah, more like. He was our Elder before McNamara. Bright guy, but just between you and me he was a little off. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosWhoIsElijah Our mission is to recover and preserve the technology of the past, but Elijah wanted more. He sought ways to improve upon technology, make it better. VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosWhoIsElijah When we found HELIOS One, he was like a kid in a candy store. He kept talking about the potential, and a grand design VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosWhoIsElijah He even insisted we set up our base there, against the objection of nearly every paladin. What followed is a whole other story. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownCalamityTopic000 All right, then. Be patient since this will take awhile. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownCalamityTopic001 Most of the time, I'm Doctor Henry's research assistant. We're looking into ways to cure the, uh... {drops her voice low} vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownCalamityTopic001 I'm also handy with tools, and once in awhile I venture down into the valley to trade Big Horner hides and meat for supplies. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownCalamityTopic002 Prospectors looking for salvage, usually. {amused}They always run when they see the mutants. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownCalamityTopic002 The Great Khans come this way once in awhile, but they keep their distance. I think they're mostly keeping an eye on us. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownCalamityTopic003 Thank you. I change names and jobs every decade or so, just to keep things interesting. I picked Calamity" this time because it sounded nice." vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownCalamityTopic003 I've never really done much science stuff until now. I'm pretty good at it, or so Doctor Henry tells me. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownCalamityTopic004 All right, then. Be patient since this will take awhile. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownCalamityTopic005 Let's see... good guard dog tendencies. If I transplant this brain into Rex, he'll be a bit more ferocious in his attacks. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownCalamityTopic006 Rex will be faster. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownCalamityTopic007 Rex will be tougher. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownCalamityTopic008 All right, if you want. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownCalamityTopic009 All right. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownCalamityTopic010 Let me take a look. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownCalamityTopic011 Have a seat. This will take awhile. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownCalamityTopic012 I can probably handle that. Just the same as changing a light bulb, except stickier and smellier. Right? vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownCalamityTopic012 Anyway, what did you bring me? vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownCalamityTopic013 Absolutely not. Lily's done enough, and she doesn't need to do any more. We're close enough to a cure already, and don't need to rush it. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownCalamityTopic014 Bye. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownKeeneTopic000 {no cure}The Stealth Boys we use have cumulative, adverse effects on our minds. Jacobstown was supposed to be a sanctuary, a place to find a cure. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownKeeneTopic000 Instead, we wait and wait. I'm sick of waiting. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownKeeneTopic000 {cure}The Stealth Boys we use have cumulative, adverse effects on our minds. But, thanks to you, it seems a cure is on the way at last. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownKeeneTopic002 Doctor Henry. He's one of you - go speak with him instead of me. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownKeeneTopic003 I represent the Nightkin. {smug}Marcus may lead this town, but the Nightkin listen to what I have to say. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownKeeneTopic003 That doesn't mean I don't respect Marcus for what he's trying to do. However, he doesn't truly understand the difficulties of being a Nightkin. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownKeeneTopic004 Finally. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic000 {appreciative}Lot of the mutants here found out about Jacobstown because of Neil. {rueful}Our isolation works against us sometimes. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic001 Killing our Bighorners, shooting at the lodge, that sort of thing. It's getting hard to keep people from retaliating. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic002 {frowns, didn't consider this}Guess I can't say for sure if they're NCR. {Beat, shrugs}Whoever they are, they want us dead or gone. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic003 Doc's inside the Lodge. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic005 Was a resort Pre-War. I renamed it to Jacobstown after an old friend. Died a long time ago. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic005 I figured us mutants needed a place to call our own. Town's far enough away from humans so they don't bother us much. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic005 One of these days I'm hoping we can trade with the rest of the wasteland. No more fighting, just... get along. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic006 Was part of Super Mutant army, ran a town, walked the wasteland with a tribal. Now I'm here. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic007 Long story, so here's the short version. The Master created the Super Mutants and Nightkin. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic007 The Master thought he could unify everyone. No more differences, no more war. {Beat, raises an eyebrow}Didn't end well. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic008 {Nods}Town was Broken Hills. Bunch of Super Mutants, humans, and Ghouls all living together peacefully. {Beat}Well, most of the time. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic009 We were looking for a {GECK}GECK to save the village of {uh-ROY-yo}Arroyo. Eventually, we did. Nuked an oil rig in the process. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic009 We went separate ways after that. I went east into the Rockies, looking for other mutants like myself. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic009 Don't know what happened to my friend. {Beat, slight smile}I've got a feeling it turned out all right in the end. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic010 All right. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic012 Bighorners. Good eating. And we can trade the hides. Got a lot of wild ones around here, so it's easy to restock the herd. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic014 Not looking to fight. That'll give NCR an excuse to come up here and wipe us out. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic016 Because of a promise. One I haven't been able to keep. The Nightkin all suffer from schizophrenia. It's the Stealth Boys they use, used to use. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic016 Nightkin have a hard time being seen like normal folks. Can't stand it. A few already left to try and find more Stealth Boys. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic016 Miserable situation. They either stay here and suffer, or dig up Stealth Boys and lose their minds. Not much of a choice. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic017 That happens, there's a good chance other Nightkin will follow. It'll make it hard to get a cure to them. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic017 {Wary}Worse, if Keene and the Nightkin tear up the Mojave hunting for Stealth Boys, people are going get killed. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic017 Most humans can't tell the difference between mutants. Might come here looking for payback. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic018 Thanks. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic019 {Chuckles, player's being naive}That's like saying Caesar and Kimball would listen to each other. {Beat, explaining}Nightkin don't have a lot of trust for others, mutants included. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic020 {Keene alive}Smart, charismatic. Hell of a mean streak. Doesn't care for humans. Prefers fighting them to talking. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic020 He's got a lot of pull with Nightkin, though. He talks, they listen. Was hoping he could draw other Nightkin to Jacobstown. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic020 Keene is saner than most, but I know he's thinking of going his own way again. He's aggressive, impatient. Can't stand sitting around. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic021 Such as? vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic022 Lot of bad blood between Super Mutants and humans. Goes back years. Some here still got the scars and memories. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic022 Me, I don't really have a problem with the NCR. Set their sights a little too high sometimes, but they try. {Beat, gets serious}Legion, that's another story. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic023 {contempt}{KAI-zar}Caesar thinks he can change human nature. Most of the Legion is following {KAI-zar}Caesar, not {KAI-zar}Caesar's ideals. When he's gone, it'll crumble. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic023 Might not happen overnight. Might take a few decades. But it'll happen. Basic human nature - greed, ambition, jealousy - will see to it. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic024 They expand, fast. If you've got land they want, they'll take it, eventually. Did it out West, they'll do it here. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic024 {Warning tone to govt}They keep rolling over people, they'll regret it. That's how revolutions start. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic025 Seen them grow from a single town - Shady Sands - into the republic. They've done good for the most part. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic026 Not really. Heard it's paradise in the wasteland. Never been in there myself, doubt they'd let a mutant in. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic026 {To himself, slight humor at human nature}Amazes me people would come from all over the wastes to throw away everything they've got in that town. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic028 You're human - they {emph}might be willing to be listen to what you have to say. Maybe. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic028 I'm {emph}not asking you to kill them. Just talk them into leaving. Hell, pay them off if you have to. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic029 Thanks. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic030 Nightkin suffer schizophrenia from the Stealth Boys they're always using. One of the reasons I settled Jacobstown was so they could be cured. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic030 While they're in town, the Nightkin aren't allowed to have Stealth Boys so their craziness doesn't get worse. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic030 Trouble is the Nightkin don't like being visible, either. They don't take being exposed too well. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic031 Same as any civilized town - don't start any fights or steal anything, we'll treat you fair. Not a lot to ask. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic032 {Skeptical, but...}Up to Lily. Not my call. {Emph}Might lead to a faster cure. Might not. Don't want any harm coming to her. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic033 All right. Can't say I blame you. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic034 See you. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic035 {Angry}Damn it. That'll wipe out the town treasury. {Calms down, irritated}If that's what it takes... vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic036 That puts a dent in the town treasury. {Still..."}If that's what it takes to be rid of them..." vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic037 That's not too bad. If that's what it takes to be rid of them... vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic038 {peaceful resolution}Good. Glad you didn't kill them. Letting them walk away proves we're not bloodthirsty mutants. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownMarcusTopic038 If NCR or anybody else is looking for an excuse to attack Jacobstown, they're not going to get it from us. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownNightkinLeaderTopic007 Humans are always staring at things. We Nightkin don't like being stared at. Is is... uncomfortable. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownNightkinLeaderTopic008 It is different! Right now I'm trying very hard to remain civil, and you're not making it easy with your incessant questions! vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownNightkinLeaderTopic009 Bah! Humans. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownNortonTopic000 Yep, get a move on. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownNortonTopic001 Just doing what I'm paid to do - harass the muties until they leave or attack us. If they leave, we let 'em go. If they attack, we wipe them out. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownNortonTopic001 Either way, the job's not done until they've cleared out of the town. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownNortonTopic002 Won't name names, but some important folks in the NCR are sick of muties attacking their Brahmin herds. They want them gone from NCR territory. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownNortonTopic002 Maybe this group had something to do with attacking Brahmin, maybe not. Doesn't matter. We're getting paid to make them go away. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownNortonTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] I've always known when to fight and when to back down, and it seems to me I ought to back down this time. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownNortonTopic003 My men and I are leaving. You won't see us around here again. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownNortonTopic003 [FAILED] I've faced down a charging Deathclaw and didn't blink. What makes you think I'd back down from you? vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownNortonTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] That thought had crossed my mind as well, actually. Fine, make it 2000 caps and we'll call it square. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownNortonTopic004 [FAILED] Sorry, but I've got men to pay and equipment to maintain. 2500 caps or no deal. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownNortonTopic005 A deal's a deal. We'll be on our way. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownNortonTopic006 We're still owed half - 2500 caps. Pay up and we'll be on our way. If you're short, maybe you can get the money from the muties. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownNortonTopic007 All right, then. We'll be on our way. vDialogueJacobstownJacobstownNortonTopic008 Whoa, whoa. Thought you looked familiar. I'm just doing a job, nothing more. Politics aren't my thing, so if you say go, we'll go. No hard feelings. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic000 Bye. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic001 I watch over the Bighorners. They're sweet, gentle creatures, but sometimes they get ornery. Just like my grandkids! vDialogueLilyLilyTopic003 Of course, dearie. I know it's dangerous, but it'll all turn out for the best, you'll see. I'll go to him now - it would be rude to keep him waiting! vDialogueLilyLilyTopic004 Of course I will, dearie, if it's helpful. Don't you worry what will happen to little old me. I'm tougher than I look! vDialogueLilyLilyTopic005 Of course, dearie. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic006 I know that, dearie. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic007 Certainly! vDialogueLilyLilyTopic008 Leo is a very bad man, pumpkin! {Aside}Yes you are, Leo, don't try to deny it! vDialogueLilyLilyTopic008 {back to player}He tells me to do things, terrible things, and sometimes the medicine isn't enough to keep him quiet! vDialogueLilyLilyTopic011 Oh, Jimmy, don't you go being silly now! Come over here and give your {gramma}grandma some sugar! vDialogueLilyLilyTopic012 I... {confused, realizing she's hallucinating}Oh, of course I have, dearie. How silly of me. I didn't take my medicine yet today. How can I help you? vDialogueLilyLilyTopic013 Of course, Jimmy. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic014 Aww, someone wants to hear {gramma's}grandma's stories! What would you like to hear, pumpkin? vDialogueLilyLilyTopic015 Isn't that sweet of you to fret about me? Such a good boy. I can always help you stay hidden from the bad people so you won't get in trouble. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic015 I don't mind fighting - especially to protect you, dearie - but I don't like guns. Give me a good chopper, and Leo and I will go right to work! vDialogueLilyLilyTopic015 Isn't that sweet of you to fret about me? Such a good girl. I can always help you stay hidden from the bad people so you won't get in trouble. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic015 I don't mind fighting - especially to protect you, dearie - but I don't like guns. Give me a good chopper, and Leo and I will go right to work! vDialogueLilyLilyTopic016 Sometimes it makes {gramma}grandma forget things she doesn't want to forget, pumpkin. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic017 Are you sure, dearie? Taking my medicine all the time makes me feel woozy, but it does make it easier for me to ignore Leo. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic018 What do you need, sugar? vDialogueLilyLilyTopic019 That's sweet of you, dearie. I'll try to be better about controlling myself if I see you try to sneak away. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic020 I grew up in Vault 17. I never even saw the sun until I was 75 years old - that was when Super mutants raided the Vault and carried a lot of us off. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic020 {Aside}Yes, Leo, I'm getting to that part! {Back to player}They made me one of them, and they put me to work in an army that was going to conquer California. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic021 Oh my stars! Are you sure? If I don't take any medicine at all, Leo gets especially cranky. I can't stop him when he's like that. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic022 Whenever you're ready, dear. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic023 {Correction}A spy. Sometimes an assassin. I killed a lot of folks for the Master. {Aside}Yes, Leo, you helped, too. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic024 Oh, he was a nasty man, dearie. You don't want to know about him. He was the one who made that Super mutant army I told you about. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic025 That wicked old Master got what was coming to him, that's what! After his cathedral blew up, I decided it was high time to go home. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic026 Doctor Henry calls them {struggling to pronounce word}anti-psychotics." I don't know what they're supposed to do vDialogueLilyLilyTopic027 This old thing? Oh, I scavenged it off a wreck in Klamath. Leo showed me how to make it all ready for chopping, didn't you, Leo? vDialogueLilyLilyTopic028 Well of course there is, dearie. How else could I hear him tell me who to chop? vDialogueLilyLilyTopic029 You shouldn't say things like that where Leo can hear you, dearie. He doesn't like it. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic031 Well, all right, then, dearie. {Sad}I suppose I'll have my holotapes to remind me of Becky and Jimmy.... vDialogueLilyLilyTopic032 Yes, dearie? vDialogueLilyLilyTopic033 All right, pumpkin. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic034 All right, dear. If you're really sure. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic035 It's my medicine, dearie. It keeps me calm, but it makes my memory go all fuzzy. That's why I only take my dosage every other time. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic035 That way at least I remember their faces. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic036 Tabitha was {gramma's}grandma's squad leader when we both worked for the Master. She wasn't very nice at all, but she was good at the chopping. vDialogueLilyLilyTopic036 Almost as good as Leo.... vDialogueLilyTopic002 Oooh, those Nightstalkers, always killing my Bighorners! It'll be nice to give them a piece of my mind! vDialogueLilyTopic002 Oh no, dearie, three makes a crowd. VDialogueLucky38EntranceLucky38VictorEntranceTopic000 I see you brought a friend! Sorry, pardner, but they're gonna have to stay outside. VDialogueLucky38EntranceLucky38VictorEntranceTopic000 I see you brought some friends! Sorry, pardner, but they're gonna have to stay outside. VDialogueLucky38EntranceLucky38VictorEntranceTopic000 Come back soon, now! VDialogueLucky38EntranceLucky38VictorEntranceTopic000 Enjoy your visit! VDialogueLucky38EntranceLucky38VictorEntranceTopic002 See ya soon! VDialogueLucky38EntranceLucky38VictorEntranceTopic003 The Boss is pretty clear on this. I can't let you in unless you're by your lonesome. VDialogueLucky38EntranceLucky38VictorEntranceTopic005 Oh boy. VDialogueLucky38EntranceLucky38VictorEntranceTopic008 Come back soon, now! VDialogueLucky38EntranceTopic000 The boss is waiting for ya. VDialogueLucky38EntranceTopic001 All aboard! VDialogueLucky38EntranceTopic001 Right away! VDialogueLucky38EntranceTopic001 Heading up! VDialogueLucky38EntranceTopic001 Heading down! VDialogueLucky38PenthouseLucky38JaneTopic002 Well, of course I am, silly! Mr. House is just the smartest, most wonderful man there ever was! VDialogueLucky38PenthouseLucky38JaneTopic002 Why, did you know he single-handedly reclaimed New Vegas from all those nasty tribes that used to live here? VDialogueLucky38PenthouseLucky38JaneTopic002 Well, he single-handedly sent in his Securitrons to do it, but that counts in my book. VDialogueLucky38PenthouseLucky38JaneTopic003 Sugar, I may be a robot on the outside, but on the inside, my neuro-computational matrix is an exact copy of Mr. House's favorite girl. VDialogueLucky38PenthouseLucky38JaneTopic004 Anything you like, sugar. VDialogueLucky38PenthouseLucky38JaneTopic005 Mr. House has a lot of needs, sugar. I take care of all of them, and a lady doesn't kiss and tell. VDialogueLucky38PenthouseLucky38JaneTopic006 Then maybe you shouldn't pry into a lady's particulars, hmm? VDialogueLucky38PenthouseLucky38JaneTopic007 They're just new money, sugar. They might pretend they're sophisticated, but between you and me, they're not far off from tribals. VDialogueLucky38PenthouseLucky38JaneTopic007 The Omertas especially are just awful brutes. The Chairmen and the White Glove Society at least pretend to have some culture. VDialogueLucky38PenthouseLucky38JaneTopic008 Well, of course there used to be a lot more of them, but these days there are three open to the public: The Tops, the Ultra-Luxe, and Gomorrah. VDialogueLucky38PenthouseLucky38JaneTopic008 And the Lucky 38 of course, but we're not open to the public. You're a special case, sugar. VDialogueLucky38PenthouseLucky38JaneTopic009 Well, let's see: the NCR has an embassy here, but why you'd want to go talk to a bunch of boring old politicians I surely don't know. VDialogueLucky38PenthouseLucky38JaneTopic009 Oh, and the Vault 21 Hotel and Gift Shop has an adorable collection of old Vault-Tec memorabilia. VDialogueLucky38PenthouseLucky38JaneTopic009 And I suppose if you like neon signs, you might check out Michael Angelo's sign shop. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic000 Take care. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic001 {Non-Dummy}I have several basic implants available that can enhance your physical abilities - make you faster, smarter, stronger, that sort of thing. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic001 I've also got two much more expensive implants. One's a sub-dermal implant that will make you more resistant to damage. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic001 The other implant induces a mild regenerative effect. Your wounds will practically heal before your eyes. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic001 {Dummy}Uh, no. Implants, not plants. They're little machines I can put inside you to make you faster, quicker, or smarter. I recommend the smarter implant. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic001 I've also got two much more expensive implants. One's a sub-dermal implant that will make you more resistant to damage. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic001 The other implant induces a mild regenerative effect. Your wounds will practically heal before your eyes. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic002 {Strength 10}You're already the strongest person I've ever met. The implant won't do anything more for you. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic002 I can implant the Hypertrophy Accelerator for 4,000 caps. It will boost your adrenal glands and quickly increase your muscle mass. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic003 {Perception 10}Your eyesight would make a hawk jealous. The Optic Enhancer implant won't do anything more for you. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic003 The Optics Enhancer, as the name suggests, gets attached directly to your optic nerve. The price is 4,000 caps. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic004 {Endurance 10}Your cardiovascular system is practically super-human. The Nociception Regulator won't boost it any further. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic004 The Nociception Regulator modifies your cardiovascular system, and you won't tire as quickly. The price is 4,000 caps, same as most other implants. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic005 {Intelligence 10}{astonished}Your higher brain functions are off the charts. {regret}The implant won't help at all - sorry. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic005 {Non-Dummy}For 4,000 caps, I can install a Logic Co-Processor. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic005 {Dummy}I think you would really benefit from the Logic Co-Processor implant, so I'm going to cut the price to 3,000. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic006 {Agility 10}Your reaction times are already so fast it's a wonder you can't catch bullets. The Reflex Booster can't make you any faster. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic006 The Reflex Booster does exactly what it says - speeds up your reaction times. For 4,000 caps, I can attach the implant to your central nervous node. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic007 All right. Was there something else you were interested in? vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic008 {Health <100, >= 66}Your injuries aren't too severe. I can patch the scrapes and lacerations pretty easily. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic008 {Health < 66, >= 33}Some of these lacerations are pretty severe and could get infected. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic008 {Health < 33}I'm surprised you're still standing. You've lost a lot of blood and should be stabilized immediately. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic009 {Rads > 0}It'll be easy enough to purge all rads from your system. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic011 One other thing I forgot to mention - your body may be able to handle only a limited number of implants. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic011 The healthier you are, the more implants I'll be able give you. Now, what surgery are you considering? vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic011 {no implants}Which surgery option are you considering? vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic011 {max implants}There aren't any more implants I can give you - you've already bought everything I had available. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic011 {at least one implant, not at limit}All right, let me do a quick test to make sure your body can handle another implant... vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic011 All right, you're healthy enough to handle another one. Which surgery are you considering? vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic011 {at least one implant, at limit}All right, let me do a quick test to make sure your body can handle another implant... vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic011 I'm afraid you can't handle any more implants right now. Your body isn't durable enough to take it. Sorry. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic012 {Charisma 10}You're already quite charming. The Empathy Synthesizer would just be a waste of caps, I'm afraid. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic012 The Empathy Synthesizer will allow you to more easily pick up on subtle emotions and body language. The price is 4,000 caps. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic013 That would be the NEMEAN Sub-Dermal Armor. It's a bit pricey - 8,000 caps - but the implant causes your skin cells to be bolstered with iron. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic013 It won't make you bulletproof, but it will make you a little harder to injure. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic014 That's the PHOENIX Monocyte Breeder. The implant speeds up cell regeneration, an effect similar to that of some lizards and sea creatures. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic014 The implant is very expensive, however - 12,000 caps. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic015 Have a seat in the Auto-Doc. This will take a few hours. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic016 Very well. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic017 That's all right. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic018 Have a seat in the Auto-Doc. This will take a few hours. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic019 Have a seat in the Auto-Doc. This will take a few hours. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic020 Have a seat in the Auto-Doc. This will take a few hours. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic021 {Luck 10}Huh. I've never seen a coin toss go someone's way that many times. You certainly don't need the help of a Probability Calculator implant. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic021 If fact, you ought to be on the Strip cleaning out the casinos. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic021 If I implant the Probability Calculator in your frontal lobe, you'll be able to calculate odds a little better. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic021 It's not quite the same as making you luckier, but you'll be able to nudge things your way more often. I can do the implant for 4000 caps. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic022 Have a seat in the Auto-Doc. This will take a few hours. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic023 Have a seat in the Auto-Doc. This will take a few hours. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic024 Have a seat in the Auto-Doc. This will take a few hours. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic025 Have a seat in the Auto-Doc. This will take a few hours. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic026 {99YES}All right. Sit still and let me work. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic027 I'm afraid I can't do this for free. My supplies are stretched thin enough as it is. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic028 You really ought to avoid using those kinds of chems, but I'll see what I can do. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic029 {66YES}All right. Sit still and let me work. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic030 {33YES}All right. Sit still and let me work. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic031 I'm afraid I can't do this for free. My supplies are stretched thin enough as it is. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic032 I'm afraid I can't do this for free. My supplies are stretched thin enough as it is. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic033 All right, this will only take a few minutes. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic034 All right. Sit still and let me work. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic035 I'm afraid I can't do this for free. My supplies are stretched thin enough as it is. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic036 I have reserved a small part of my supplies for sale. The profits go directly to the purchase of additional supplies to help the less fortunate. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic037 {FoA: Rascal}Because you're a friend of the Followers, I can give you a bit of a discount. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic037 {Neutral Followers rep}Very well. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic038 Everything you see is funded by the Followers of the Apocalypse. We rely a lot on charity to provide low-cost medical services to the less fortunate. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic039 All right. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic040 Yes, I am. I received my medical training at the Angel's Boneyard Medical University back in the NCR. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic040 It's not a requirement to be a Follower to enter the university, but I believe in what they do, so I joined them. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic041 Of course! We prefer bulk donations of 500 caps - it's apparently a lot easier on the accountants, for some reason. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic042 We believe that technology for basic necessities, like food, water, and medicine, should be shared, not hoarded. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic042 We're also strongly in favor of proper education. {contempt}I've come across more than a few doctors" whose techniques came out of the back of a magazine." vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic043 We've worked with them in the past. The NCR became too focused on things like patents and profitability, so the Followers go their own way now. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic043 The NCR and the Followers have a cool relationship at the moment. We see them as oppressive, and they view us as anarchists. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic044 Yes, the Mormon Fort in Freeside. It's hard to miss. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic045 Very much appreciated. These caps will go towards funding schools and other services to the poorer part of the community. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic046 No need to apologize. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic047 Of course. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic048 Have a seat in the Auto-Doc. This will take a few hours. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic049 That's all right. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic050 Have a seat in the Auto-Doc. This will take a few hours. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic051 That's all right. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic052 I'm afraid I can't do this for free. My supplies are stretched thin enough as it is. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic053 Mental trauma can be just as debilitating as physical injuries. Fortunately, I'm well-qualified in such treatment. I'll make time in my schedule. vDialogueMedicalClinicDoctorUsanagiTopic053 I'm assuming you're referring to mental trauma. I'll make time in my schedule. vDialogueMrHouseCasinoPissed You dared come here, after what you did? vDialogueMrHouseCasinoPissed What do you think you're going to do? Fight you way up to the penthouse and assassinate me? vDialogueMrHouseCasinoPissed You came here to finish what you think you started? vDialogueMrHouseCasinoPissed This is nothing compared to what's waiting for you up in the penthouse. vDialogueMrHouseCasinoPissed Vegas will still rise again. Your betrayal won't defeat me! vDialogueMrHouseCasinoPissed The Lucky 38 will be your grave. I'll finish what Benny couldn't get right! vDialogueMrHouseControlPissed Hold on, now, hold on. Just a moment... vDialogueMrHouseControlPissed Turn around and leave, and I'll... I won't attack you any further. vDialogueMrHouseControlPissed Just... stay away from the console. It doesn't do anything... vDialogueMrHouseControlPissed You've come back to kill me this time, I assume? vDialogueMrHouseControlPissed Ironic, how this turned out. The thousands of hours I spent calculating odds, running projections, planning for every contingency... vDialogueMrHouseControlPissed ...only to be done in by a mail carrier with a grandiosity complex. vDialogueMrHouseControlPissed Get it over with, will you? vDialogueMrHouseElevatorAlert Aggressive acts on the casino premises will be met with lethal force. Vacate the premises immediately. vDialogueMrHouseElevatorAlert Vacate the premises immediately. The casino is off-limits for 24 hours. vDialogueMrHouseElevatorAlert Vacate the premises immediately. All Securitrons are at a state of high alert. vDialogueMrHouseFirstTalk Hello. vDialogueMrHouseFirstTalk Come over and introduce yourself. vDialogueMrHouseFirstTalk Come now, don't keep me waiting. vDialogueMrHouseFirstTalk I invited you here so we could talk, not so you can nose around. vDialogueMrHouseLastWillTestament If this statement is being broadcast, I am deceased. Please approach a Securitron and take one of the printed obituaries. vDialogueMrHouseLastWillTestament I, Robert Edwin House, am deceased. Please approach a Securitron and take one of the printed obituaries. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseOUTDATEDTopic001 [SUCCEEDED] Very well... five times your delivery bonus - {with finality}not one cap more. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseOUTDATEDTopic001 [FAILED] Is that an attempt at...{beat}{distaste} humor? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseOUTDATEDTopic001 I've always taken business negotiations seriously. I advise you to do the same. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseOUTDATEDTopic009 You can't - but the Chip can. The hatch will recognize the Platinum Chip and open sesame."" VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseOUTDATEDTopic016 You'll need a disguise, then. Or overwhelming firepower. Whatever works. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseOUTDATEDTopic016 Sorry for the inconvenience, but it can't be helped. This is too important. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic000 Of course you haven't. Vegas always was one of a kind. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic000 What you see down on the Strip is just a fraction of the city's former glory, and yet... {beat}more than an echo. I preserved its spirit. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic000 Or perhaps you were referring to the Lucky 38? The years haven't been kind to her, but still she manages to impress. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic001 {not buying it}Oh, come now - don't play the fool. Vegas has fools enough, a superfluity of them. They're what makes it so profitable. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic001 They come to Vegas chasing penny-ante dreams of high-living, to feel like they're big shots, like they're winners. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic001 You see that you and I are of a different stripe, don't you? We don't have to {emphasis}dream that we're important. We {emphasis}are. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic002 {arch}You aren't going to ramble on about the virtues of life out in the wastes, are you? It's a desert, you do realize? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic002 A radioactive desert where humans subsist in a barbaric state? Difficult to glorify convincingly. They are, however, aptly named. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic002 For that's what you'd be out there - wasted. Here on the Strip, your talents can be put to use. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic003 Oh, by all means - yes. That's refreshing. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic003 The business is this. One of my employees has stolen an item of extraordinary value from me, and I want it recovered. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic003 Simple enough? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic003 You're ready to move forward, then? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic004 Oh, don't be coy. You've been playing a high-stakes game ever since Victor dug you out of the ground. Don't be afraid to admit it. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic006 Yes, I know. It was detected immediately and deactivated... let's see... 39.735 seconds after you planted it. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic006 You thought I wouldn't notice? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic006 One of the Followers of the Apocalypse, I'm sure. They're curious about me. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic006 Good luck planting a surveillance device here in the Lucky 38 without my knowing about it. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic008 Precisely. You'll have no trouble joining the battle on their side, and they'll be too distracted to notice why you're really there. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic011 {disappointed}A crude question, crudely asked. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic011 I'll be happy to satisfy your {disapproving}rambunctious curiosity at a more appropriate moment. But now, I'll repeat my question... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic011 What do you make of what you've seen? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic012 Why didn't {emphasis}Victor intervene sooner, you mean? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic012 Goodsprings is a bit too far away for me to reliably control a Securitron agent by remote. I can send and receive packets of data, at best. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic012 Victor's combat algorithms determined the proper course of action. Benny and his thugs were more than a match for a lone Securitron. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic012 When he alerted me, I instructed him to approach the site after Benny and the others had departed. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 I knew it was only a matter of time before an army appeared, to take control of the dam. And I knew my Securitrons wouldn't be enough to oppose them. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 And so I recruited the Three Families. Vegas belongs to me because I mustered enough strength to bring the NCR to the bargaining table. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 Indeed it was - and still is. But not without taking significant casualties. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 Would Kimball and Oliver have traded the lives of hundreds of soldiers for absolute control of Hoover Dam? Oh yes. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 They weren't afraid of me, they were afraid of Caesar - that attacking me would leave them vulnerable to a Legion offensive. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 And so they negotiated. Not out of the kindness of their hearts, as they try to make it seem. Because the calculus of power left no other choice. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 NCR forces were permitted to occupy Hoover Dam and establish a military base at McCarran Airport. {not an airport anymore}Well, it used to be one. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 They recognized my sovereignty over the Vegas Strip and agreed to supply electricity and water once their engineers repaired the dam. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 Written into the treaty were provisions that the NCR do nothing to prevent its soldiers and civilians from visiting the Strip. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 That's how I harnessed the NCR to my endeavor. Their occupation has been the engine of my growing economy. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 The salient issue is that they will go to war with me, if given the chance. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 There's just one reason why the NCR hasn't contrived some outrage to justify invading the Strip - Caesar's Legion. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 The final battle between those two armies is fast approaching. I can't afford to let either side win on their terms. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 New Vegas is more than a city - it's the remedy to mankind's {beat}derailment. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 The city's economy is a blast furnace in which can be forged the steel of a new rail line, running straight to a new horizon. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 What is the NCR? A society of people desperate to experience comfort, ease, luxury... A society of customers. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 With all that money pouring in? Give me 20 years, and I'll reignite the high technology development sectors. 50 years, and I'll have people in orbit. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 100 years, and my colony ships will be heading for the stars, to search for planets unpolluted by the wrath and folly of a bygone generation. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 I prefer the term autocrat."" VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 I would rule as a chief executive. I would not answer to a board of directors or any other entity. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 Nothing to impede progress. If you want to see the fate of democracies, look out the windows. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 My judgement. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 I have no interest in abusing others, just as I have no interest in legislating or otherwise dictating what people do in their private time. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 Nor have I any interest in being worshipped as some kind of machine god messiah. I am impervious to such corrupting ambitions. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 But autocracy? Firm control in the hands of a technological and economic visionary? Yes, that Vegas shall have. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 I've resurrected Vegas, spirit intact. What I need now is the ability to enforce my rightful claim. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 Not just against Caesar's Legion, by the way. In fact, the NCR is a more present and insidious threat. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 To enforce, one must have force - a position of strength. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic017 Years ago, when I detected NCR scouts roaming the Mojave, I could tell from their uniforms that these were no mere tribesmen. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic018 I'm sure the assassins will wait for you to show up. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic022 Our terms were clear. Now that you have the Chip in your possession, any attempt to re-negotiate" payment would be tantamount to blackmail." VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic028 To achieve my aims, I require a capable human agent to perform certain... {choosing word}tasks. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic028 I knew Benny was ambitious, even ruthless. But I believed he would do the job, so long as he was incentivized appropriately. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic028 Obviously, I miscalculated his drive for supremacy. But in any case, you've come along - a more-than-suitable replacement. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic029 {satisfied}Well enough. Return to me when you have the Platinum Chip in your possession. Any final matters for us to discuss? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic030 My only concern is the recovery of the Platinum Chip. What happens to Benny, I leave to your discretion. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic030 When you bring the Chip to me, I will pay you four times the delivery bonus stipulated in your contract. How's that? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic030 As I said before, Benny's fate is yours to decide. Once you've delivered the Chip, I will pay you the amount agreed-upon. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic031 Benny has led the Chairmen ever since I recruited his tribe seven years ago. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic031 Until his recent misbehavior, I'd planned to make him my protege. Maybe if I'd begun grooming him sooner, none of this would've happened... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic032 My offer far exceeds the original terms of your contract, which, I will remind you, already obligate you to deliver the Chip. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic033 [SUCCEEDED] Very well, five times the bonus. {with finality}Not one cap more. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic033 [FAILED] Is that an attempt at...{beat}{distaste} humor? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic033 I've always taken business negotiations very seriously. I advise you to do the same. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic034 It's a very special item. There's nothing else like it in the entire world. It was lost a long time, and difficult to find. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic034 That's all you need to know about it, for this stage of our enterprise. Fulfill your contract, deliver the Chip, and good things will come your way. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic036 Well enough. Be on your way. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic038 Benny was the leader of the Chairmen for seven years, ever since I recruited the tribe. I considered him something of a protege. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic039 I am Robert Edwin House, President, CEO, and sole proprietor of the New Vegas Strip. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic039 I oversaw the city's renovations starting from 2274 onward. The Three Families are my employees. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic039 Before the Great War of 2077, I was the founder, President and CEO of RobCo Industries, a vast computer and robotics corporation. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic043 It's understandable that you'd be curious about this topic, but we'll hold off until the Platinum Chip has been recovered. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic046 {drawn out}Hmm... {to yourself}How shall I put this? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic046 {taking time, spelling it out}Delivery of the Platinum Chip is non-negotiable. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic046 I invite you to think carefully about what you do next... standing alone before me, surrounded by my heavily-armed Securitron guards. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic047 {restraining anger}By the time I was 30 years old, I was a billionaire 30 times over. I founded and ran a vast economic empire. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic047 {restraining anger}Do you really think I'm going to let an upstart come into my home and ransom my property to me? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic047 {restraining anger, losing it a little towards end}I spent two centuries searching for the Platinum Chip. It's my invention, my property - mine. Now be a good courier and deliver it! VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic048 {sarcastic}Why, thank you so much. You played that {beat}very poorly, you realize? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic048 You're fortunate that I have a certain {beat}tolerance for greed. I expect my business partners to be self-interested - but {unlike you}smartly so. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic049 {ordering attack}You needn't be afraid of me. It's my Securitrons that are going to kill you. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic050 Not if you've been invited. You realize that you've made quite a splash here in New Vegas? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic050 I can predict with a high degree of confidence that you'll receive an official summons from Caesar. If you haven't already, that is. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic051 [SUCCEEDED] You might keep an eye out for any computers that Benny's been using. Maybe even a computer lab of some sort... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic051 [FAILED] You have a contract to fulfill, a delivery to make. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic051 If you can't hold to a contract, simply for the ethic of holding to a contract, you're worthless to me. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic055 I want you to open a hatch in the basement of the derelict weather station atop Fortification Hill. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic055 You'll recognize it on sight. The hatch bears the logo of the Lucky 38, same as the Platinum Chip. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic056 Don't let the video screens and computer terminals fool you. I'm flesh and blood, not silicon. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic057 [SUCCEEDED] I see you've made a study of the topic. My knowledge of the science of longevity would fill several text books... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic057 Perhaps, after a decade or two of economic reconstruction, I can commercialize these technologies and offer to others, such as yourself. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic057 [FAILED] No. While brains demonstrated some use as organic processors in the robots produced by General Atomics International... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic057 They never retained personality once removed from the human body. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic058 Let's just say it was very... {beat}costly. But I was willing to make the sacrifices longevity entailed, financial and otherwise. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic061 I'm not surprised. The Legion has spies on the Strip. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic063 Until then. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic065 {nonplussed}You have? So you have the means to gain entry? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic066 If you find Caesar's Legion so frightening at this remove, imagine them rampaging across the Strip. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic066 We have a chance to see them detroyed, to see New Vegas become the harbinger of a new age. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic067 This is not the time for Q&A. Kindly hand over the Chip. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic070 This is not the time for Q&A. Kindly hand over the Chip. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic073 We've accomplished a great deal, you and I. One last task, and our work is complete. I'll see you in the control room. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic074 {tense}Then handle them with dispatch. The Legion's assault is imminent. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic078 So you've said before. You're making a habit of wasting my time. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic082 You signed a contract in good faith to deliver that Chip. You're going to have a hard time on the Strip if you are so incautious of making enemies... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic084 {impatient}Please focus on the task at hand - for both our sakes. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic085 No, you haven't. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic085 This is the second time you've promised to deliver the Platinum Chip. Even if you don't hold yourself to your promises, I will. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic094 I'm not offering you an incentive as crude as money - though there'll be plenty of that. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic094 What I'm offering you is a ground-floor opportunity in the most important enterprise on Earth. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic094 What I'm offering is a future - for you, and for what remains of the human race. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic103 You are the first person to step foot inside the Lucky 38 in over 200 years. It was not an invitation I made lightly. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic103 We have a serious matter to discuss, concerning a contract you have yet to fulfill. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic105 You have an interest" in this VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic105 {you need the player; threats won't work}Now, I could stop you from leaving, but what would that accomplish? If you want to go, go. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic105 See what the Strip I built - the Strip I own - has to offer. Think about what I could offer you. I expect we'll have occasion to talk again. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic106 I have to think that he found out about the Platinum Chip and mistakenly convinced himself that he could use it to his own ends. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic106 One of the problems of a tribal work force, I'm afraid. No intuitive understanding of how complex technologies can be. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic109 That's simply not true. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic109 I am the only person to hold any rights pertaining to the Chip. I designed it, and I paid for it - dearly. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic109 To develop that Chip, I spent a sum of U.S. dollars - not the bottle caps that pass as currency these days - but a sum beyond counting. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic109 For decades, I paid salvagers to comb the ruins for it. And when it was finally discovered, tens of thousands of caps spent to have it brought here. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic109 We know how that turned out. Complete your contract and it will be the last time I pay for the Chip. Save your questions for then. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic110 You realize you were just one of many couriers, the rest of them {beat}dummies, so to speak? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic110 Add to that many thousands of caps worth of mercenary protection to screen your avenue of approach. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic110 Had I used an armed caravan to transport the Chip, I might as well have been announcing to the world this is important. Attack this!"" VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic110 I didn't want to attract the attention of groups like the Great Khans or the Brotherhood of Steel. Alas, the real threat was closer to home. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic112 Frontal assaults on casinos? Not good for business. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic112 In any case, Benny would see it coming. And all he'd have to do is hold the Chip up and point a pistol at it. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic112 Our foremost advantage is that Benny doesn't know that I know he has the Chip - let's not squander it. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic113 Then Vegas shall be lost, and with it, mankind's best hope for long-term survival. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic114 To your untrained eyes, it may look as though mankind is making a comeback. In the NCR, you have something that remsembles a nation state. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic114 Savage as it is, in Caesar's Legion, you have an organized society. But neither of these offer a future. They're regurgitations of the past. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic114 Bring me the Platinum Chip, and in ten years you'll hardly recognize this city. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic115 It won't be easy... Benny is always surrounded by at least four bodyguards - except when he's in his private suite on the 13th floor of the Tops... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic116 If you were to approach Benny in public, you might be able to leverage his fear of exposure to make him agree to meet with you in private. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic117 Sneaking into Benny's suite on the 13th floor would be very difficult... but not impossible. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic117 There might be guards. Certainly there'd be a sturdy lock on his front door. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic118 It's more complicated than that. The Chairmen share what you might call a... {beat}tribal affinity. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic118 Look for a man named Swank, Benny's second-in-command. He's always been a reliable, if unimaginative, employee. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic118 Do your best to convince him that you're working under my auspices. If you have evidence of Benny's crimes, show it to him. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic123 By contract, Securitrons are to enter the casinos only when invited by the Three Families or if other extraordinary circumstances arise. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic123 The moment I send one into the Tops, Benny will know I'm on to him. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic124 We can discuss this in greater detail at another time. Suffice it to say that when my Securitrons detected NCR scouts at Hoover Dam, I took action. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic124 I recruited a tribal force to supplement my Securitrons and renovated the Strip just in time to welcome the NCR as it marched into the region. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic124 Instead of war, a treaty was negotiated. And the money started to pour in. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic125 Tribals, nothing special. Spend some time in the casinos and you'll catch the gist of each Family. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic125 The only requirement was that the tribals agree to follow my directions. Some, like the Khans and the Kings, did not - and suffered for it. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic128 You're making me question your usefulness, you realize. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic131 Success depends on forethought, dispassionate calculation of probabilites, accounting for every stray variable. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic131 Your history of aggression towards the NCR has rendered you useless in this concern, unable to influence the outcome of events. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic131 Consequently, I have to wait and see" what happens. It's... grotesque." VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic136 Well enough. We can put the past behind us, I think. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic137 {exasperated sigh}Then this is a waste of time. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic138 {FORT SECS NO}A great deal shall be happening - a cascade of events, with you taking a central role. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic138 At the moment, however, all you need to do is take the elevator all the way down to the bottom level. You'll understand soon enough... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic138 {FORT SECS UP}A great deal shall be happening - a cascade of events, with you taking a central role. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic138 At the moment, however, all you need to do is take the elevator all the way down to the bottom level. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic138 What you see there will help you understand the significance of what you accomplished at the Fort. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic139 {FORT SECS UP}Yes, so far as you've seen, all it does is change the picture on the Securitrons' face screens from policemen to soldiers. But as you'll see... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic139 Some things are more easily shown than told. Take the elevator all the way down to the bottom level, and you'll see what I mean. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic139 Don't worry, you'll like what you see. We have much to accomplish, you and I... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic140 {FORT SECS UP}I must insist that you stay long for me to show you that the Platinum Chip does more than change the pictures on the Securitrons' face screens. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic140 Events of great import are about to unfold, with you taking a central role. To get started, all you need do is take the elevator all the way down... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic140 I must insist that you stay long for me to show you what the Chip does. I promise you'll like what you see... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic140 Events of great import are about to unfold, with you taking a central role. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic140 To get started, all you need to do is take the elevator all the way down to the bottom level... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic142 Not interested? {louder}Not interested? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic142 You have an interest in this even if you're too stupid to know it. If you have an interest in breathing, you have an interest in this. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic142 Return to the Fort and do whatever it takes to recover the Chip. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic143 I'm surprised you can still underestimate me after everything you've seen. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic143 I haven't shown my hand - I've shown one card. I've given my enemies a single, provocative datum upon which to fixate. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic143 They have no idea what other cards I'm holding. It's a strong hand, believe me - I dealt it to myself. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic144 Why would I want to go to war against the NCR? They're my best customers. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic144 If their leaders weren't scheming to steal Vegas out from under me, I'd have no troubles with the NCR at all. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic145 No no no, you'll want to hear this out... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic145 Disappointing. In the extreme. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic146 The next step will require you to infiltrate Caesar's camp at Fortification Hill. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic146 You'll have to return to Caesar's camp at Fortification Hill.{Player got Chip at CL Fort, didn't activate bunker army} VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic148 Do you have any idea how prodigious is the opportunity you're casting aside here? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic154 Here, take the Platinum Chip again. You will need it. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic154 Upon arrival at the Fort, it's likely that you'll be searched and the Chip taken from you. Don't worry - it will come back to you. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic154 I expect that if Benny doesn't have the Chip, Caesar will make sure you get it. More on that later. Be off. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic155 Then look harder. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic157 I don't employ you to uncover evidence. This isn't a court of law. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic157 If the Omertas pose a threat to the physical or economic security of the Vegas Strip, I want you to do whatever it takes to neutralize that threat. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic159 Something very important. I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise - so don't bother asking. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic162 Well done. They won't be causing any trouble, then. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic163 The Legion has nothing left to wait for. Their assault on the dam could begin at any moment. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic163 Before that happens, I'll ask you to complete one other task. It may seem trivial, but that's far from the case. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic167 Well done. The Boomers' firepower may prove an advantage when the battle for Hoover Dam comes around. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic168 It seems diplomacy is not your forte. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic168 Given the strength of your past performance, I think we can let this go without further comment. I'm pulling you on to a new assignment. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic173 {dry}An opinion you expressed with supreme subtlety and finesse. Moving on... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic175 There's more than one way to skin a cat, as the saying goes. {beat}Or {emphasis}went, that is - cats being extinct. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic175 I don't promote political assassination as a first option, but it has a long and storied history. I'll consider the Boomers neutralized. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic177 That's because he ceased to be relevant when you recovered the Platinum Chip. Revenge doesn't interest me, progress does. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic177 Sorry to deny you a moment of primate triumph, but you'll have to go elsewhere to sound your barbaric yawp. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic181 {cross}There's a job that needs doing here, and I'm assigning it to you. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic181 {sarcastic}Marvellous work ethic, bravo. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic182 I'll send a Securitron ahead to meet with the NCR at the security checkpoint and get things started. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic182 Once you get there ask for Ranger Grant. I've used roaming Securitrons to feed him useful information in the past. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic182 If I tell him we've heard of a Legion assassination plot, I believe he'll let you investigate. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic185 Singlehandedly destroying a Brotherhood of Steel bunker is quite an accomplishment. Platoons of NCR troops have died, trying to do the same. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic185 This welcome news comes just in time, as events in the wider world are coming to a head... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic188 This is not an optional assignment. Kimball may be a grandstanding boor, but I want him protected. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic193 I'll give you time to think over the consequences of what you're saying. I urge you to reconsider. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic199 Until you do this, consider yourself suspended... without pay. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic203 Not surprising. Also not acceptable. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic203 I didn't ask you to tell me what they were planning, I asked you to kill them. This was a waste of time. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic203 Go back to the bunker and destroy it. My directions have been clear from the start. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic204 {not buying it}This is no time to be droll... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic206 Your accident" has jeopardized the success of this entire concern." VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic206 Up to this point, your efforts yielded near-perfect results. But now I'm forced to fumble in the dark - to gamble. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic206 Light must be brought to this darkness. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic207 Your impulsivity has jeopardized the success of this entire concern! VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic208 Your incompetence has jeopardized the success of this entire concern! VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic210 Every step of my plan has been precisely calculated and was, until now, well-executed. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic212 What of it? I enjoy them. There's something about a little diorama set inside a glass dome that I... {beat}find pleasing. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic212 If you run across any out in the wastes, turn them in to Jane. She'll compensate you. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic213 I much prefer working with robots... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic214 You'll have to be more specific. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic216 {shocked at magnitude of Omerta plot}And how do you know this? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic218 {quiet outrage}I see. So where does that put us? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic220 Absolutely not! Caesar is of great use to me. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic220 I don't want you harming a hair on that man's head - assuming you can find one. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic221 [SUCCEEDED] In that case, I commend you for your initiative. What do you recommend for next steps? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic221 [FAILED]{quiet rage}And you assisted them? That's what you mean to say, isn't it? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic223 I'll be happy to satisfy your every curiosity once the Platinum Chip has been delivered. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic223 This is not the time for Q&A. Kindly hand over the Chip. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic224 Fine - give me the Chip, and I'll pay you four times the delivery bonus stipulated in your contract. How's that? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic227 Goodbye. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic230 Outside New Vegas, at what was once called Nellis Air Force Base, resides an unusual tribe known as the Boomers. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic230 They are, shall we say, {understating}aggressively reclusive? They have several howitzers they fire at anyone who dares approach the base. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic230 Artillery of this sort has a range of several miles. If it's going to fire on Hoover Dam, I want it firing at my targets. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic230 If not, then I want to make sure that the Boomers don't sign similar treaties to fire their guns in support of the NCR or Caesar's Legion. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic231 I offer many benefits, but vacation time isn't one of them. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic232 {first Benny, now the player}Why is good help so impossible to find? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic233 Use extreme caution when approaching the base. Their firepower is... considerable. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic233 Recently, one of my roaming Securitrons observed a man near the base studying the pattern of its artillery fire. Maybe he's learned something. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic238 You laid the foundation for my victory, so fine - I'll permit some {beat, begrudging}latitude in how you schedule your work. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic238 You're welcome. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic242 The Omertas are fanatically loyal to each other. Still, among any group, one can find the occasional degenerate. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic242 Gomorrah's receptionist happens to be one. For years she passed on whispers of what was taking place at the casino, in exchange for payment. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic242 A few months ago, she clammed up. Odds are she's scared, but I've had no way of approaching her. Start with her. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic242 The print-out I've given you lists every lead I've been able to uncover. See what you can find out. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic245 After all that we've accomplished? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic246 Arrogance was their undoing. {referring to the player}There might be a lesson in that. But moving on... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic248 Indeed. Moving on... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic254 {sigh of impatience - oh, the burden of intelligence}The Platinum Chip unlocks this bunker. Hence, you have it. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic254 Hence, Benny was captured or killed - possibly by you, but by my estimates, far more probably by Caesar's Legion. Hence, Caesar gave you the Chip. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic254 Hence, Caesar wants you to destroy whatever you find in this bunker. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic254 {sigh of impatience - oh, the burdens of intelligence}That you were searched very thoroughly when you arrived at the Fort is a certainty. And as the Chip is a little too large to be {beat, implying hiding it up rectum}secreted away... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic254 I also regard it a certainty that the Chip was discovered, taken from you, and given to Caesar - who returned it to you. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic254 Two plus two equaling four, Caesar wants you to destroy whatever you find in this bunker. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic254 But that's not going to happen, because {confident, not bossy}you're going to work for me. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic255 {are you dense?}That's rather obvious, isn't it? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic256 {don't play dumb}Surely you know that I am Robert Edwin House, President, CEO, and sole proprietor of the New Vegas Strip. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic256 I oversaw the city's renovations starting from 2274 onward. The Three Families are my employees. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic259 It was a place of splendor. As magnificent as today's Strip may seem, it's but a shadow of the neon paradise that was Las Vegas. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic259 I grew up not far from here, and though I traveled the old world extensively, I never found another place like it. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic259 By 2065 I deemed it a mathematical certainty that an atomic war would devastate the Earth within 15 years. Every projection I ran confirmed it. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic259 I knew I couldn't save the world VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic259 I set to work immediately. I thought I had plenty of time to prepare. As it turned out, I was 20 hours short. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic259 On the day of the Great War, 77 atomic warheads targeted Las Vegas and its surrounding areas. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic259 My networked mainframes were able to predict and force-transmit disarm code subsets to 59 warheads, neutralizing them before impact. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic259 Laser cannons mounted on the roof of the Lucky 38 destroyed another 9 warheads. The rest got through, though none hit the city itself. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic259 A sub-optimal performance, admittedly. If only the Platinum Chip had arrived a day sooner... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic259 The Platinum Chip was printed in Sunnyvale, California on October 22nd, 2077 - the day before the Great War. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic259 It was to have been delivered by courier the following afternoon... but by then, the world had ended. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic259 The Chip contained vital software upgrades, but not just for my Securitrons. Every aspect of the missile defense grid would have been upgraded, too. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic259 Given that I had to make do with buggy software, the outcome could have been worse. I nearly died as it was. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic259 Software glitches set off a cascade of system crashes. I had to take the Lucky 38's reactor offline, lest it melt down. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic259 For nearly five years I battled power outages and more system crashes until I finally managed to reboot my data core with an older version of the OS. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic259 I spent the next few decades in a veritable coma. But I survived, obviously - and eventually thrived. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic262 {impatient to make progress}It's a facility I built many years before you were born. You might think of it as a kind of barracks. You'll understand soon enough. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic263 It's a facility I built many years before you were born. You might think of it as a barracks. You'll understand soon enough. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic265 Was that meant to be a shocking revelation? Of course Caesar wants it destroyed - he's afraid of what the bunker might hold, and rightly so. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic265 But you're not going to do that. You're going to do the smart thing, and work for me. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic267 {steely}I don't respond well to threats. {moving on}Now, where were we...? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic268 [SUCCEEDED] Fine, you'll receive a nice bonus when the work is done. And speaking of getting it done... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic268 [FAILED] You signed a contract to deliver the Platinum Chip, and you'll be paid when the delivery is made. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic269 Good. I won't hold you up any longer. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic272 I like to think you have enough sense to do the right thing. The rewards for doing so are immense... as are the punishments for not doing so. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic274 So what are you doing here? Return to the Fort at once. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic274 Recover the Platinum Chip. Once you've entered the bunker hidden beneath the weather station, you'll receive further instructions. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic275 Are you a child? The Platinum Chip was taken from you, obviously. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic276 That would make for a welcome change. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic277 Then gather together the firepower or explosives or whatever else you need and improvise. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic277 I don't care if you have to kill every Legionary at the Fort. Get the job done. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic278 By my calculations, his death will affect the shape of the battle for Hoover Dam minimally, if at all. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic278 The Legion's aggression will outlive Caesar. Indeed, they'll try to take the dam as a tribute to his memory. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic278 Given a year, they'd have him deified - but by then the Legion will be breaking down, riven by internal conflicts, a monster consuming itself. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic278 It's irrelevant. In the short term, the Legion is still monster enough that defeating it will make me look powerful indeed. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic279 {stating the obvious}Hoover Dam, of course. A hydroelectric dam? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic279 The NCR had it up and running at 50% capacity within a year of occupying the dam. By treaty, New Vegas receives 5% of its output - more than enough. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic280 I'll expect to see some tangible progress before long, then. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic283 I recommend following the Securitron's instructions. Its programming is... {beat}strict, and I don't have time to change it. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic285 Cannibalism was strictly forbidden in their contract. If some of them broke that stricture, they deserved whatever punishment you dealt them. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic285 {perturbed}No, I was not aware of this. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic285 Is it really so hard {emphasis}not to engage in cannibalism? My goodness... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic285 It's a violation of their contract. I authorize you to deal with them in any way you see fit. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic285 {not going to deny it}Yes, of course. But refraining from those dietary practices" is a primary requirement of their contract." VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic285 They've been good to their word. Put together one hell of a resort hotel, too. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic285 From what I hear, I'd want to eat at the Gourmand every night... if I were ambulatory. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic286 Goodbye? Is that some kind of joke? You barely understand what I want you to accomplish down there. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic290 I've spent too many years waiting for this moment to see it fumbled by an insubordinate contractor. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic290 I can't reach through this monitor and compell you to follow instructions, but know this - if you disappoint me, you will pay for it. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic291 It is obvious to you that I built this place? The Platinum Chip opened it, after all?{sigh - the burdens of intelligence} VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic291 In any case, you're here. So let's get to it. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic294 My army will do what an army does best - defend territory from invaders... and maintain order. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic295 The same equipment failure that prevents me from remotely operating this facility seems to have activated its security robots and turrets. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic295 There's a security room near the base of the stairs... perhaps you can deactivate them yourself. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic297 Listen to me, very carefully. I've waited too long for this moment for you to go fouling it up on a lark. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic297 Do as I say, and your rewards will be immense. Thwart me, and your punishment will become the purpose of my existence. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic300 Then there will be no safe haven for you.{monitor goes dark} VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic301 I see - you're in a predicament. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic301 Just off the turbine room down below are three power regulators. It's a redundant system - only one is needed. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic301 Go ahead and destroy one. The explosion will be large enough to be heard and felt aboveground. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic302 {lying}The bunker will be destroyed, and you'll die instantly. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic304 I'm the person who will pay you when you complete the delivery contract you signed. Now go get the Chip. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic313 {stating the obvious}Excellent idea. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic314 By goodbye VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic315 There will time for questions and answers once you've delivered the Chip. Until then, you'll have to tolerate your ignorance... just as I do. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic316 His destination is hardly a mystery. It's a near certainty that he's making his way for Caesar's camp, at Fortification Hill. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic316 It's one of just two places on Earth that have the hardware necessary to read the Platinum Chip - the Lucky 38 is the other, of course. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic317 And whose idea was it to offer yourself up as a sacrificial lamb? Really, what did you expect? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic317 Are you going to keep giving him opportunities to kill you? It's becoming a hobby of his. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic318 I suspected he'd found a way to access my encrypted databases, but well - this explains it. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic318 That would be how he learned of the Platinum Chip in the first place... not to mention where to intercept you, on your way in. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic318 Highly resourceful, Benny. He would've made a fine agent, had he stayed loyal. It's fortunate you came along to replace him - and ironic. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic319 As I've told you before, you are contractually obligated to deliver the Chip. Do your job - you have everything to gain. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic320 I won't lie to you. It'll be dangerous. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic321 What about him? He has every reason to go to the Fort, so that's where you'll find him. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic321 All I ask is that you recover the Chip. What happens to Benny is up to you. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic330 Come back when you have something to report. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic335 {nonplussed}And why would you have done that? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic335 Success depends on forcing the NCR to rout from Hoover Dam. Hmm, does giving then a powerful ally in the battle make that more or less likely? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic335 Your assignment is unchanged - destroy the Brotherhood of Steel. Please get it right this time. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic336 Hidden Valley is the place to keep working, then. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic347 They occupied Nellis Air Force Base a little over 50 years ago. One of my Securitrons got some video of their arrival - and then... exploded. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic347 Odds are they were Vault dwellers. That's everything I know about them, really. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic347 Only if you come within a mile or so of them. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic347 Given their history of extreme isolationism, it's tempting to leave them be. But those howitzers of theirs... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic347 You can't let indeterminate variables rattle around in your equations like that. They have to be accounted for, one way or another. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic348 Yes, though at the time they called themselves the Slither Kin." A vicious clan VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic348 They were nomads, capable fighters, but their specialty was betrayal. They'd invite travelers into their yurts, drug them, murder or enslave them. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic348 They took pride in their craft. I don't think Omertas saw other people as people at all. Everyone else was just... prey. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic348 They reminded me of a certain criminal element Vegas used to attract. I told them some stories, gave them some clothes - and they ran with it. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic348 The Chairmen, as we know them now, went by the unfortunate appellation of the Mojave Boot-Riders." They were nomads VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic348 As for the White Glove Society, I afraid I'm contractually obligated not to reveal their original name. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic349 They're a terrorist group, basically. Militant, quasi-religious fanatics obsessed with hoarding Pre-War technology. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic349 Not all technology, mind you. You don't see them raiding hospitals to cart away Auto-Docs or armfuls of prosthetic organs. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic349 No, they greatly prefer the sort of technology that {emphasis}puts people in hospitals. Or graves, rather, since hospitals went the way of the Dodo. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic349 Because they're ridiculous! Because they galavant around the Mojave pretending to be Knights of Yore. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic349 Or did, until the NCR showed them that ideological purity and shiny power armor don't count for much when you're outnumbered 15:1. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic349 The world has no use for emotionally unstable techno-fetishists. Just wipe them out, will you? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic351 I care because he is a known quantity - not the man so much as the political context he inhabits. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic351 Kimball rose to prominence as the Hero of the Mojave" when he led a campaign of reprisals against tribals who dared to attack NCR citizens." VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic351 Ordering the occupation of Hoover Dam was his first act of office. As water and electricity flowed to NCR cities, his popularity soared. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic351 Conversely, his failure to annex the Mojave these seven years, and the immense costs of occupying a foreign land, have eroded his popular support. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic351 {Oh, the burdens of intelligence}Kimball's entire political career is inextricably bound up with the NCR's occupation of the Mojave. It's his war. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic351 If I compell the NCR to retreat, Kimball will be the sacrifice offered to the gods, so decent NCR citizens can get on with their lives. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic351 In retrospect, the Mojave and Hoover Dam will seem like one man's misadventure. Kimball will be blamed, not me. Not New Vegas. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic351 Then the Hero of the Mojave would become the Martyr of Hoover Dam. And when, subsequently, I force the NCR to retreat... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic351 They lick their wounds, and dream of righteous vengeance against New Vegas. Hello, embargo, farewell, tourist economy. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic351 I've calculated and re-calculated these probabilities. Kimball must live. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic352 {amusing yourself}Imagine two snarling dogs fighting over a curve of bone, perhaps the rib of their master, long-dead. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic352 It'll be a pitched battle, that's a certainty. Perhaps the greatest battle the Earth has seen since the human race nearly made itself extinct. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic352 With Caesar dead, it's hard to know what to expect. The Legate, Lanius, is renowned as a brutal man, not a subtle tactician. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic352 Frontal assaults, wave attacks - these are the sort of tactics one would expect from such a man. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic352 The Legion will mount a ferocious and determined frontal assault from the east, that much is certain. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic352 Still, Caesar is a capable strategist. I'd be surprised if he hasn't found some way to infiltrate the dam, or the NCR's rear areas. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic352 General Oliver's {disparaging}strategy - or tunnel vision VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic352 He wants to out-fight the Legion in a straight-forward slugging match, and then, when they rout, pursue and destroy them in detail. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic352 A crushing, decisive victory of this sort would overshadow the tactical ingenuity of Chief Hanlon's defense four years ago, you see. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic352 A good deal should be obvious to you by now. I won't spoil the rest by talking out of turn. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic363 Can't put the genie back in the bottle, is that it? Maybe you should've thought of that {emphasis}before you conspired to destroy my property. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic363 {lightening somewhat}That said, I'd know nothing of the Omertas' plot if you'd kept it secret. Perhaps I owe you my gratitude, after all... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic363 The information you've provided will suffice. When the battle for Hoover Dam comes, I'll make sure my Securitrons are waiting for the Omertas. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic366 I suppose you're right... When the Legion assaults Hoover Dam, my Securitrons will be waiting for the Omertas. They won't accomplish much. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic367 Exactly how many civilians did you want to die in that crossfire? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic367 Still, you raise a fair point. My Securitrons can handle this. When the Legion attacks Hoover Dam, I'll be waiting for the Omertas. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic372 {admiring the player's knowledge}You're absolutely right. You must've had run-ins with them. As have I... VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic376 From time to time, the NCR has assaulted Brotherhood bunkers. In four of the six incidents I know of, the bunkers self-destructed. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic376 I surmise it's standard practice for the Brotherhood to install a self-destruct system. It's consistent with their {disdain}uncompromising nature. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic376 You might use that against them. Or kill them another way, it's up to you. Return when it's done. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic380 I can't use you. Had you shown moderation in your dealings with the NCR, we'd be in a different position. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic382 Oh no, not so quick. I still have work for you. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic383 Don't attack unless there are clear signs that Kimball's visit is imminent. Cause enough chaos to cancel the visit, no more. Then return to me. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic385 Not so eager to take on a suicide mission, is that it? If you'd shown moderation in your dealings with the NCR, we wouldn't be in this position. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic389 Whatever those reasons may be, you've jeopardized the success of this entire concern. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic391 [SUCCEEDED] They knew you were coming? They were better prepared than I anticipated, then. I won't underestimate them again. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic391 Before that happens, I'd ask you to complete one final task. It may seem trivial, but that's far from the case. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic391 [FAILED] Whatever your reasons, you've jeopardized the success of this entire concern! VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic392 You could've succeeded! VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic393 With this accomplished, all preparations will have been made. The battle for Hoover Dam will be upon us before long. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic394 The strain of defending Las Vegas from annhilation exceeded my power systems' capacity. My primary reactor shut down. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic394 For years, I played a miser with my emergency power supply. I began to run out of reserves around the time I woke the first batch of Securitrons. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic394 Negotiating an allotment of power from Hoover Dam was crucial. That's what's powered the Strip for the past seven years. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic395 Come back when your work at the substation is done. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic396 I needed the operating software on the Platinum Chip to bring it back online. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic396 And to start the reactor itself requires a tremendous jolt of current. Very attention-getting. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic396 The NCR has its hands full now, of course. I doubt they'll raise much of a fuss. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic397 This is not a good time to be dependent on energy from Hoover Dam. When the Legion attacks, the NCR may cut power altogether. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic397 And I'll be needing a good deal more power than the NCR has allotted to the Strip. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic397 Broadcasting encrypted VMQ-boosted command signals to hundreds of Securitrons eats up more power than you might expect. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic401 Indeed they do - an army that'll be too distracted with killing Legionaries to notice the real reason you're there. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic402 Your objective is to reach a control room halfway across the dam and install an override module similar to the one you used at the Substation. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic402 The override will enable to control the entire dam's power output. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic402 You may remember how the bunker at the Fort was rather dimly lit? Well, just like the Lucky 38, it needs a big jolt of electricity to power up. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic402 You've already uploaded the new operating system to the Securitrons. All they need is power and they'll be in fighting trim. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic402 As I've said, your objective is to install an override module in the control room halfway across the dam. Are you ready perform this task? VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic403 Indeed you will. Just bear in mind that's not the reason you're there. VDialogueMrHouseMrHouseTopic404 No cause for alarm - you'll have an escort of Securitrons to help you fight your way onto the dam. vDialogueMrHousePenthousePissed Think you're doing well to have made it this far? vDialogueMrHousePenthousePissed Your chances of breaking through my defenses, they're... minimal, at best! vDialogueMrHousePenthousePissed Why are you doing this? vDialogueMrHousePenthousePissed I would've made you wealthy! You could've helped change the world! vDialogueMrHousePenthousePissed You're actually going to do this all over again? vDialogueMrHousePenthousePissed Damn it, will you die already? VDialogueMrHouseSecuritronUpgrade Step closer to the demonstration area, if you would... VDialogueMrHouseSecuritronUpgrade I expect you're well familiar with my Securitrons by now. VDialogueMrHouseSecuritronUpgrade The titanium alloy housing that protects its electronic core deflects small arms and shrapnel easily enough... VDialogueMrHouseSecuritronUpgrade Its X-25 gatling laser, produced to spec by Glastinghouse, Inc., is deadly against soft targets at medium range... VDialogueMrHouseSecuritronUpgrade And for close-range suppression or crowd control, the Securitron is armed with a 9mm submachinegun. VDialogueMrHouseSecuritronUpgrade All of this, you probably already knew... VDialogueMrHouseSecuritronUpgrade What you did not know is that these are the Securitrons' {emphasis}secondary weapons. VDialogueMrHouseSecuritronUpgrade All this time, my Securitrons have had to get by running the Mark I operating system, which lacked software drivers for their primary weapons! VDialogueMrHouseSecuritronUpgrade Today, with the delivery of the Platinum Chip, all that changes. Behold, for the first time, Securitrons running the Mark II OS! VDialogueMrHouseSecuritronUpgrade The M-235 Missile Launcher gives the Securitron the ability to engage ground and air targets at significantly longer ranges... VDialogueMrHouseSecuritronUpgrade And a rapid-fire G-28 grenade launching system ensures the Securitron is deadly in close-range engagements. VDialogueMrHouseSecuritronUpgrade The software upgrade also includes drivers for the Securitrons' highly sophisticated onboard auto-repair systems. VDialogueMrHouseSecuritronUpgrade All together, the Mark II {emphasis}software upgrade confers a 235% increase in combat effectiveness per unit. VDialogueMrHouseSecuritronUpgrade The city of New Vegas finally has soldiers worthy of protecting it! VDialogueMrHouseSecuritronUpgrade Return to the penthouse now. We have much to discuss... VDialogueMrHouseTopic000 {rasping, wheezing voice, like you have emphysema}If personal gain... what you sought... should've done... as asked... VDialogueMrHouseTopic001 {rasping, wheezing voice, like you have emphysema}Fool... to let... personalities... derail future... of mankind? ...Stupid! VDialogueMrHouseTopic002 {rasping, wheezing voice, like you have emphysema}Those snakes? ...for them? ...you sad, misguided... whore. VDialogueMrHouseTopic003 {rasping, wheezing voice, like you have emphysema}Slavery... the future of... mankind? What... have you... done? VDialogueMrHouseTopic004 {rasping, wheezing voice, like you have emphysema}{bitter, wheezing laugh}Your... vanity project... doomed to fail... VDialogueMrHouseTopic005 {rasping, wheezing voice, like you have emphysema}May there be... a hell... for you... a Tartarus... bleak, unending... VDialogueMrHouseTopic006 {rasping, wheezing voice, like you have emphysema}No! ...Don't disable... cerebral... I'd rather be... killed... just kill... me... VDialogueMrHouseTopic007 {rasping, wheezing voice, like you have emphysema}No... ruined everything... exposed... germs... a year of... life, if... at most... VDialogueMrHouseTopic008 Since 2278, I've lost five roaming Securitrons near Hidden Valley. VDialogueMrHouseTopic008 I didn't receive any clear video of the incidents, but telemetry from the units destroyed indicates they were attacked with energy weapons. VDialogueMrHouseTopic008 It's obvious that the Brotherhood has a base in Hidden Valley or thereabouts. Finding it won't be easy, but getting inside will be the real trick. VDialogueMrHouseTopic009 We're talking about a {COAT-ah-ree}coterie of bulging-eyed fanatics who think all Pre-War technology belongs to them. VDialogueMrHouseTopic009 They'll never accept my using an army of robots to defend New Vegas. While it's a fight I can win, I'd rather sidestep it altogether. VDialogueMrHouseTopic010 Don't tell me that you've fallen for the stories of noble paladins on crusade, preserving mankind's technology in a benighted age? Dross! VDialogueMrHouseTopic010 {not unkindly}In any case... this is an employer - employee relationship. I've given you an assignment, and the directions are clear. VDialogueMrHouseTopic011 Simple - an NCR Ranger named Grant is in charge of security arrangements for the visit. Present yourself to him, let him know you want to help. VDialogueMrHouseTopic011 Given your reputation, it's a near-certainty that he'll accept your offer. VDialogueMrHouseTopic011 Don't dally. The precise time of Kimball's visit is a closely-guarded secret, but it will happen soon. VDialogueMrHouseTopic013 There's nothing to think about. You have a job to do, so do it. VDialogueMrHouseTopic014 {nonplussed}You have? VDialogueNovacAliceMcBrideTopic001 {Slight surprise}Oh. Well, all right. VDialogueNovacJeannieMayCrawfordTopic000 Well, up north a ways you'll see a big tower. That's HELIOS One. Used to be a power plant in its day. VDialogueNovacJeannieMayCrawfordTopic000 And there's a town just east of here called Nelson. Used to be such a quaint little place until those slavers took it over. VDialogueNovacJeannieMayCrawfordTopic000 But we got our wonderful snipers keeping an eye in that direction, and so far the slavers have left us alone. VDialogueNovacJeannieMayCrawfordTopic001 I can't see as how I'd charge you after the generous things you've done for the town. The room's on me. VDialogueNovacJeannieMayCrawfordTopic001 Well, I think that's a fine idea. I'll give you a good flat rate, and you can stay as long as you like. Least till the busy season comes. Sound good? VDialogueNovacJeannieMayCrawfordTopic002 I'm glad you can stay with us. VDialogueNovacJeannieMayCrawfordTopic003 Well that's nothing to be ashamed of. We all have money troubles from time to time. VDialogueNovacJeannieMayCrawfordTopic003 You just come on back when you can afford it, and that room's all yours. VDialogueNovacJeannieMayCrawfordTopic004 Oh. Well, all right. VDialogueNovacJeannieMayCrawfordTopic004 Your room will be the one upstairs, closest to the lobby side. VDialogueNovacJeannieMayCrawfordTopic004 Here's your key. Let me know if there's anything I can do to make your stay better for you. VDialogueNovacJeannieMayCrawfordTopic005 I don't know what they're up to and I don't want to know. I just hope no harm comes to Novac. VDialogueNovacJeannieMayCrawfordTopic005 Not much to live off of around here, except salvage from that factory. If they made off with anything expensive, we'd be hurting something fierce. VDialogueNovacJeannieMayCrawfordTopic005 But I will say this. If all of 'em turned up dead tomorrow, I couldn't see as to how they'd be missed. VDialogueNovacJeannieMayCrawfordTopic005 That might even be a desirable thing, knowing the town was safe from the likes of them. There'd be a reward in it if some brave soul made it happen. VDialogueNovacJeannieMayCrawfordTopic006 {neutral}Whatever suits you. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic000 Doesn't surprise me. Guy seemed like he'd do whatever it takes to get what he wants. Probably makes a lot of enemies. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic000 Well listen, I can definitely help you find him, but I've got problems of my own. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic000 Maybe we can do a trade. You need my help. There's something I need, too. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic001 Oh, it was great. I wouldn't trade it. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic001 Something about that lifestyle, the discipline. Seeing new places, making people safe. What's not to like? VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic002 Ah, well... I just felt like it was time, you know? Wanted to have a home. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic002 Plus I was up at Camp Golf when Bitter Springs went down. I faked like I was sick to get out of going, because I knew some of the people there. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic002 But when everybody came back nobody would tell me what happened. And people would call us murderers sometimes when we showed up to secure towns. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic003 I still don't know exactly. Just that a lot of people died who didn't want to be part of the fighting at all. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic003 I don't blame anybody for it. There's so much chaos when you're fighting, you're lucky not to shoot your own guys. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic003 But it did take something out of it for me. Just wasn't the same. So when it came time to re-enlist, I just took my papers and walked. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic004 Sure thing. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic005 You talking about that chip? Man, I don't think he's giving it up. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic006 Later. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic007 Must be something pretty important to be chasing a guy like that. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic008 Hey, doesn't matter to me. I was just curious. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic009 A piece of the action, huh? I don't think he's the sharing type, but okay. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic010 {skeptical but going with it because he doesn't care}Oh yeah? A good friend? If you say so, man. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic011 {Shrugs}Hey, do what you want. I'm just trying to make it easier on you. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic012 {NO-vack}Novac, it's home for me now. I want that to be for good. I like it here, and I've left too many homes behind. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic012 But the only resource we got here is junk. Without that, people wouldn't have anything to trade. They'd all have to leave. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic012 We get most of it up the road from the old rocket test site. But a bunch of ghouls showed up one day and took it over. We can't get in there now. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic013 Yeah, I... everybody depends on you, you know? But they don't ask you about how you feel. What you worry about. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic013 There's something I like about you. You just seem really understanding. I was gonna ask you for a favor, but I'll just tell you what you wanna know. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic014 No clue. I know Benny hadn't paid up yet. Maybe that was where they were supposed to get square. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic015 It's straight up Route 93 from here. Just keep following the road north. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic016 Glad I could help. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic016 Hey, I know you got no reason to help me now, but you seem really nice. Could I at least tell you about the problem we've got here? VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic016 Hope that helps. I owed you. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic017 See? I was right about you.{in a positive way} VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic018 Say no more. I hope things work out for you. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic019 I would. But I've gotta watch the road. Caesar's Legion has been taking territory just east of here. They took Nelson. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic019 If we let our guard down, they might attack. All it takes for the Legion is for them to sense weakness. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic020 Well they gotta go, or this'll be a ghost town before long. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic020 Doesn't matter to me what you do. As long as the ghouls are out of there, that's good enough for me. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic021 It'd mean a lot to me. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic023 Okay, I'll tell you everything I know, like I promised. VDialogueNovacMannyVargasTopic024 Just head over to the REPCONN test site west of here. See if you can get the ghouls out of there. VDialogueNovacNobarkName I'm not sure who started it. It wasn't a very nice name, but he took to calling himself by it, so we all had to. VDialogueNovacNobarkName I don't even remember what his real name is. VDialogueNovacNobarkName Anyway, I think it comes from that expression that people say when you're crazy - that not all of your dogs are barking. Poor No-bark. VDialogueNovacNobarkName 'Cause they know I ain't just barking here. What I say's got bite, 'cause it's the truth. VDialogueNovacNobarkName Them quack doctors can say what they want about all the radscorpion stings that done pierced my skull. I know what I seen. VDialogueNovacRangerAndyTopic000 {Trying to be polite after getting unintentionally offended}I'm sure it was very inspiring. VDialogueNovacRangerAndyTopic001 I go to grab him out of there and I notice he's holding something in his hand. Something metal. VDialogueNovacRangerAndyTopic001 He shuts himself back inside the closet and that's when I see the grenade he's left by my feet. VDialogueNovacRangerAndyTopic001 They do it a lot, the Legion. Using kids. They know we'll hesitate. VDialogueNovacRangerAndyTopic001 Anyway, that was the first time. Second time I fell down those stairs in front of the motel. Just in case I got to thinking I'd put it all behind me. VDialogueNovacRangerAndyTopic002 They're the NCR's finest. A one-man platoon, each of 'em. VDialogueNovacRangerAndyTopic002 You got a job where even thinking about it would scare a man senseless, that's when you bring in the Rangers. VDialogueNovacRangerAndyTopic002 And if you see a squad of the veterans - guys who earned their black armor... well... you won't find a more beautiful sight. VDialogueOuterVegasMonstersFreeTopic001 {Terrified and alarmed. Yelling to everyone around. Monsters got free.}Run! Beasts got free! VDialogueOuterVegasMonstersFreeTopic002 {Terrified and alarmed. Yelling to everyone around. Monsters got free.}Deathclaws are loose! Get out of here! VDialogueOuterVegasMonstersFreeTopic003 {Terrified and alarmed. Yelling to everyone around. Monsters got free.}It can't be! How the hell... VDialogueOuterVegasMonstersFreeTopic004 {Terrified and alarmed. Yelling to everyone around. Monsters got free.}Holy shit! Run for your lives! vDialoguePrimmPrimmNCRTrooper1Topic000 Some convicts from the prison up the road have taken over the town. Everyone inside is either dead or in hiding. vDialoguePrimmPrimmNCRTrooper1Topic000 What's more, there are two tribes of raiders causing trouble in this area as well. You'd be safer heading back up to Goodsprings. vDialoguePrimmPrimmNCRTrooper1Topic001 It's your ass. Don't say you weren't warned. vDialoguePrimmPrimmNCRTrooper1Topic002 Be careful. You may want to talk to Lieutenant Hayes. vDialoguePrimmPrimmNCRTrooper1Topic002 He's in a tent down the road. Just stay on the west side of the overpass if you don't want to get shot. vDialoguePrimmPrimmNCRTrooper1Topic003 We'd love to, but they don't fall under NCR jurisdiction. Even if they did we're in no shape to protect them. vDialoguePrimmPrimmNCRTrooper1Topic004 We don't have the equipment to take out the convicts, and even if we did we need some extra hands for backup. vDialoguePrimmPrimmNCRTrooper1Topic004 You should talk to Lieutenant Hayes. He's in a tent down the road. Just stay on the west side of the overpass if you don't want to get shot. vDialogueRangerStationAlphaRSAlphaCastilloTopic000 Ranger Station Alpha. Ranger Lineholm is in command here. vDialogueRangerStationAlphaRSAlphaCastilloTopic001 I'm not really much of a historian. The short version is that the Rangers are the elite of the NCR military. Best fighters in the wasteland. vDialogueRangerStationAlphaRSAlphaLineholmTopic000 Have you ever heard the story of the bomber that crashed into the lake before the War? Supposedly it's mostly intact, even after all that time. vDialogueRangerStationAlphaRSAlphaLineholmTopic001 For about ten years now. Toughest training I've ever done, and was the proudest day of my life when I got my Ranger badge. vDialogueRangerStationAlphaRSAlphaLineholmTopic001 Did you know that the first battle at Hoover Dam was won because of the Rangers? Legion had the numbers, but we had the skill. vDialogueRangerStationBravoRSBravoTildenTopic000 We keep getting deliveries of ammunition for some reason. I don't mind target practice, but there isn't all that much to shoot at out here. vDialogueRangerStationCharlieRSCharlieStepinacTopic000 See you around. vDialogueRangerStationCharlieRSCharlieStepinacTopic001 Simple enough to change. I doubt the Legion's listening in on us - they're not that sophisticated - but better safe than sorry, right? vDialogueRangerStationCharlieRSCharlieStepinacTopic002 Radio signal out here can be pretty spotty because of all the hills. Sometimes our scheduled updates don't go through. vDialogueRangerStationCharlieRSCharlieStepinacTopic002 When it happens enough times, they send someone over to check up on us. Lately, we've been getting extra medical supplies for some reason. vDialogueRangerStationCharlieRSCharlieStepinacTopic002 I'm in no rush to give the supplies back, either. vDialogueRangerStationCharlieRSCharlieStepinacTopic003 Ranger Station Charlie. We're responsible for keeping the highway up through Novac civilized. vDialogueRangerStationCharlieRSCharlieStepinacTopic004 {NCR - Devil}Something tells me this isn't the first time you've done things that the NCR would find... objectionable. vDialogueRangerStationCharlieRSCharlieStepinacTopic004 Here, take some of these. And don't tell anyone where you got them. vDialogueRangerStationCharlieRSCharlieStepinacTopic004 {NCR - not Devil}I shouldn't have said anything in the first place, and I'd rather not get you into the habit of crossing the NCR. vDialogueRangerStationCharlieRSCharlieStepinacTopic005 We're part scout, part commando, part sheriff. The training is brutal, and I'd say eight out of ten recruits washes out before the end. vDialogueRangerStationCharlieRSCharlieStepinacTopic005 Before you get your Ranger badge, you've got to prove you can be quieter than a shadow and more ferocious than a Deathclaw. vDialogueRangerStationCharlieRSCharlieStepinacTopic006 Sure. vDialogueRangerStationCharlieRSCharlieStepinacTopic007 Couple dozen, I'd say, most of them posted at stations like this one. We either man the station or patrol the immediate area. vDialogueRangerStationCharlieRSCharlieStepinacTopic008 The Rangers mostly draw from the basic NCR army. A trooper who shows exceptional skill at fighting and scouting can be nominated for the training. vDialogueRangerStationDeltaRSDeltaPasonTopic000 Best of the best, that's all there is to it. Really nothing more to say than that. vDialogueRangerStationDeltaRSDeltaSchefferTopic000 So long. vDialogueRangerStationDeltaRSDeltaSchefferTopic001 Very well. You can tell Reyes that this station is secure. vDialogueRangerStationDeltaRSDeltaSchefferTopic002 I'm in charge of the radio - hence the title Comm Officer." I'd much rather be out on patrol vDialogueRangerStationDeltaRSDeltaSchefferTopic003 Well, when there's trouble regular NCR troops can't handle, they send in a Ranger. Problem solved. vDialogueRangerStationDeltaRSDeltaSchefferTopic003 We're also responsible for keeping the borders of the NCR secure, scouting out threats, that sort of thing. vDialogueRangerStationDeltaRSRangerDeltaPasonTopic002 See you around. vDialogueRangerStationEchoRSEchoGreenTopic000 Yeah. vDialogueRangerStationEchoRSEchoGreenTopic001 What, again? Didn't I just change those damn things? All right, fine - show me the new codes. vDialogueRangerStationEchoRSEchoGreenTopic002 Believe me, I would love orders to take Cottonwood Cove apart and kick the Legion back across the river. vDialogueRangerStationEchoRSEchoGreenTopic002 But, the brass at McCarran doesn't want us to waste resources on something they consider a minor target. So we just get to watch. vDialogueRangerStationEchoRSEchoGreenTopic003 Undoubtedly. Rangers are tough nuts to crack, though, and any force small enough to launch a surprise attack isn't going back in one piece. vDialogueRangerStationEchoRSEchoGreenTopic003 On the other hand, if the Legion goes for a full-scale attack, we'll see 'em coming, fall back, and wait for reinforcements. vDialogueRangerStationEchoRSEchoGreenTopic003 So, we know what they'll do and they know what we'll do, so we just sit around and keep an eye on each other. vDialogueRangerStationEchoRSRangerEchoErasmusTopic000 Carry on. vDialogueRangerStationEchoRSRangerEchoErasmusTopic001 The Legion's been sending raiding parties across the river in larger numbers lately. We don't have the men at this post to intercept them all. vDialogueRangerStationEchoRSRangerEchoErasmusTopic003 Skirmishes, mostly. The Legion raiding parties usually fall back when they know it's us they're up against. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSCommRangerFoxtrotTopic000 Oh. Uh... well, yeah, I can do that. Um, thanks. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotKudlowTopic000 Be careful out there. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotKudlowTopic001 You must be mistaken - I haven't filed any report like that. Trained deathclaws? I would have remembered that. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotKudlowTopic001 If someone is saying I filed that report, that's a load of crap. I won't have my name attached to a clerical error. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotKudlowTopic002 Tough, independent, and as ruthless as they come. They're holed up in Red Rock Canyon, and it's this station's job to keep an eye on them. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotKudlowTopic003 Yeah, it's a damn shame. There was a lot of talk about expelling her from the Rangers, especially once the gambling and drinking started. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotKudlowTopic003 Being posted here is her second and last chance, and so far, I'm not impressed. Lenk's jumpy all the time, and the others are sick of it. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotLenkTopic000 Watch out for Great Khans. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotLenkTopic001 Here's all the caps I've saved up so far. See? That's a pretty good chunk of what I owe right there! vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotLenkTopic002 I talked to the cashier at Gomorrah into forwarding me some chips - I was convinced I was due for a hot streak. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotLenkTopic002 It, uh, didn't go so well. The Omertas were nice and said they'd give me some time to pay them back. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotLenkTopic002 They also said if they had to talk to me about my debt again, they wouldn't be nice the next time. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotLenkTopic004 I... don't want to talk about it. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotLenkTopic005 Yes. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotLenkTopic006 [SUCCEEDED] We were on patrol near the Dam when a Legion raiding party jumped us. Didn't even have to time to radio it in. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotLenkTopic006 I was hit in the head with a machete and knocked out. Didn't kill me, though some nights I wish it had. When I woke up, my nerve was gone. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotLenkTopic006 The rest of my squad was crucified, butchered, mutilated. I don't know how they missed me. Maybe they didn't. Maybe they knew they'd broken me. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotLenkTopic006 I gambled and drank a lot after that. Got into trouble, but the Rangers gave me a second chance instead of kicking me out. So, here I am. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotLenkTopic006 [FAILED] No, I'm not going to bring it up. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotLenkTopic007 Maybe. But, thanks for saying it, anyway. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotLenkTopic008 {relieved}Yeah. vDialogueRangerStationFoxtrotRSFoxtrotLenkTopic009 {mournful}I... I was different back then. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic000 Just how old do you think I am, boss? Because I can pretty much guarantee I'm older than that. Let me tell you a story from before the Great War: VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic000 Everybody knew Robert House. He was a genius. A superstar. Founded RobCo at 22, dated Hollywood starlets, the works. They say he saved Las Vegas. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic000 I was in Mexico City when the bombs dropped. Even from there, we could see House's defensive rockets shooting down the incoming missiles. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic000 Everybody assumed he died in the War. Maybe he did. But his robots are still out there, roaming the Wastes. And now, a Mr. House rules New Vegas. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic001 Sure, boss. I saw lots of guys like that while I was held prisoner by an insane supermutant in an isolated mountain fortress. Can you narrow it down? VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic001 Benny, huh? Sorry boss, doesn't ring a bell. Then again, my brain isn't as sharp as it used to be. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic002 They're all right, I suppose. Had a bit of tough going there at the beginning - you know their first town was nearly wiped out by raiders? VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic002 Anyway, they've got their good points and their bad, just like a lot of the old governments from before the War. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic003 I don't really have a problem with them. People around here tend to see them as invading marauders planning to burn and pillage the countryside. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic003 But I've been to Arizona, boss. Before the Legion, it was a nasty place, so thick with raiders you couldn't trade with a town two miles up the road. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic003 Caesar's laws aren't nice, and their actions aren't always pretty. But then, neither am I, but you keep me around. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic004 It's big, it's bright, and it's one of the biggest cities still left from before the War. Well, mostly, anyway. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic004 Used to be just a curiosity. The buildings were pre-War, but it was just as full of raiders and barbarian tribes as anyplace else. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic004 Then Mr. House took over, got the power turned back on, and got the tribes reformed into something civilized. Now they run his casinos for him. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic005 You're a veritable guyser of curiosity, boss. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic006 Anything to hold your attention, boss. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic007 Anything you say, boss. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic008 Just a little bit, boss. No, I haven't seen him. Sounds like a city slicker, though. Might try looking on the Strip. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic008 You know what, boss, that's my fault for using sarcasm. No, I haven't seen him. Sounds like a city slicker, though. Might try looking on the Strip. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic009 Name's Raul. Raul Alfonso Tejada. I'm the mechanic around here. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic009 You forget about me already, boss? You sure you didn't take a blow to the head or something? VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic009 My name is Raul Alfonso Tejada. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic009 I'm starting to think you haven't been paying attention, boss. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic009 Raul Alfonso Tejada, former gunslinger and sole survivor of Hidalgo Ranch, at your service. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic009 Always happy to repeat myself for you, boss. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic009 Raul Alfonso Tejada, former gunslinger, sole survivor of Hidalgo Ranch, and ghost of Mexico City at your service. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic009 Always happy to repeat myself for you, boss. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic009 Raul Alfonso Tejada, aka Old Miguel, former gunslinger, sole survivor of Hidalgo Ranch, and ghost of Mexico City at your service. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic010 Maybe not. Maybe the new guy is just a clever raider chief with a knowledge of history. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic010 {Slightly ominous}Maybe he just left instructions for his robots to carry out in his name. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic010 {growing more ominous}Or maybe Robert House uploaded his brain pattern into a computer and rules to this day, a godless, soulless machine-god! VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic010 {Back to normal}Or maybe the whole thing's a crazy coincidence. Who knows? VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic011 I remember there were some weird stories about him, especially near the end. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic011 There was a tell-all in El Periodico de las Aburridas by a starlet House dated. She said they never, um... don't make me spell it out, boss. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic011 Anyway, she said all he wanted to do was scan her brain and make her dress up in different outfits. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic012 It was quite the scandal, at least in the Latin-American tabloid journalism market. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic013 I was born just outside Mexico City. My family had a little ranch there. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic013 I was born just outside Mexico City. My family had a little ranch there. After they died, I took my little sister, my Rafaela, to Mexico City. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic013 We lived there a while, then I moved on and ended up here. I'd rather not talk about it any more. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic013 I was born just outside Mexico City. My family had a little ranch there. After they died, I took my little sister, my Rafaela, to Mexico City. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic013 She died there, so I moved on. I came across an old Petro-Chico refinery, found Miguel's" jumpsuit VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic013 I was born just outside Mexico City. My family had a little ranch there. After they died, I took my little sister, my Rafaela, to Mexico City. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic013 She died there, so I moved on. I came across an old Petro-Chico refinery, found Miguel's" jumpsuit VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic013 I headed up into Tuscon and lived there as Old Miguel for a while. Things were okay, then they got bad, and I headed west to the Mojave. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic013 And that, boss, is all she wrote. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic014 Old enough to know better, boss. Old enough to know better. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic014 I was born in 2047, boss. If you do the math on that, I'm sure you'll get within a decade or so. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic015 You never heard of Petro-Chico, un Amigo de Poseidon Energy? Ah, of course not. They were an oil company in Mexico, back before the War. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic016 I found it in a costume shop. It was sort of my calling card, you know? Raul the Ghoul VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic017 Well, boss, when a giant, insane Super mutant asks you to stay put, you do what you're told. Well, maybe you don't, but I'm just a broke down old man. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic018 Probably because it used to be Miguel's. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic019 Boss, usually when somebody gives you a name and nothing else, it's because that's all they want to give you. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic020 Ah, it's stupid, boss. I used to listen to the radio broadcasts, just to pass the time. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic020 Well, one day the signal stops, so I figured I'd try to find transmitter. I'm a pretty good repairman, or I was before the eyes started to go. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic020 Anyway, I found Black Mountain and offered my services, but Tabitha decided I was useful enough to keep around. Permanently. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic021 I'm not much use besides being a portable encyclopedia, really. I guess you could use me as a pack brahmin, but my knees aren't so good any more. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic021 I'm still half-decent with a pistol. Not fantastic, but good enough. These old bones aren't much use in hand-to-hand fighting, though. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic021 I can keep your gear in good working order, too. If you notice your stuff takes a lot longer to break, well, you can thank me with a sarsaparilla. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic021 Felt good to put the old vaquero outfit on again. I feel a lot sharper with a pistol now. Still wouldn't put these old bones on the front lines. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic021 I can also do maintenance work on your stuff - I don't have the supplies for a real repair job, but I can keep your gear working longer. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic022 That's nice of you to say, boss, but I'm an old man. Not much use to anybody any more. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic022 Time was, I was a pretty good shot with a pistol. I guess I'm still half-decent. These old bones aren't much use in hand-to-hand fighting, though. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic022 I can also do maintenance work on your stuff - I don't have the supplies for a real repair job, but I can keep your gear working longer. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic023 I sort of figured you had your own reasons for keeping me around, boss. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic024 I don't have the supplies for a real repair job, but I can do some routine maintenance to keep your gear working longer. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic024 It won't exactly get better, but it'll get worse slower. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic025 I'm an open book, boss. Granted, the book's in Spanish and some of the pages have fallen out, but I'm an open book. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic029 What do you think of guys like Ranger Andy? VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic030 Sure, boss. I'm sure you've got a lot to think about. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic031 Yeah, okay, boss. Take your time. Not like I'm a decrepit old man who might keel over dead any minute. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic032 I mean guys who have a world of experience doing what they do, but have to give it up because they're getting old and slow, or too injured. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic033 That wasn't what I meant, really. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic036 Maybe... yeah. I guess you've got a point there. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic037 Yeah, I suppose you're right. Guys like us can't compete any more. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic038 Did I say us? I meant him." Guess my eyesight isn't the only thing that's going." VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic039 Whatever you say, boss. I'll just stay back here and be quiet in case you have a sudden flash of brilliance you need to share. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic040 Yeah, I suppose he could still teach, take a less-active role in the world. That's not so bad. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic041 Maybe, but what if he really doesn't have it? VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic042 A little of both, I guess. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic043 Meeting Corporal Sterling, well... it kind of got me thinking. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic043 Here's a guy that's been beat all to hell, right? I mean, he could have retired from the service, but instead he signs back on and does what he can. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic043 You think he did the right thing? VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic044 Okay, boss. When you feel like availing yourself of my centuries of experience, you know where I'll be. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic045 Sure, boss. I know you've got a lot on your mind, what with all that wandering the empty desert wastes. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic046 You think so, boss? Because I remember a time when a lot of people stuck to their duty no matter what. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic046 It ended with nuclear bombs falling on my hometown. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic047 Even if he can't use them any more? Isn't that like asking you to come up with one of your brilliant schemes after suffering a crippling head wound? VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic047 Err, another one, I mean? VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic048 That's what I love about you, boss; the pity you show for the less fortunate than you. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic049 You're preaching to the choir here, boss. Once a man's prime is behind him, he should let it go. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic051 I guess it reminds me of my own life. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic052 It's a question I've asked myself often enough. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic053 He reminds me of me in some ways. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic054 Not really, boss, no. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic055 Would it surprise you to know I used to be a gunslinging adventurer? VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic057 That Loyal guy. He's getting up there in years, but he still finds a way to make himself useful to his people. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic057 If you ask me, that's better than withering away all alone, or holding on to some faded piece of glory from your past. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic058 Sure, boss. Whenever's good for you - I've probably got three, maybe four months before I keel over. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic059 {A little uncertain}Yeah. That's what I thought, too. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic060 Old history, boss. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic061 Yeah, it beats dying alone in the Wasteland because you were too slow. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic062 That fear has always been a part of my life. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic063 Maybe... but what if you miss the old days, sometimes? VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic064 A memory from a long time ago. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic065 Sure, boss. Whenever's good for you. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic066 Just a few days after Mexico City was vaporized, refugees started pouring down the road to our ranch. We helped who we could, but there were so many. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic066 Eventually, my father started turning people away before we ran out of food. Things got violent. My father and I got our guns, and we drove them off. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic067 About two dozen men came back in the night, after we'd gone to sleep. They set fire to the ranch house and barred the doors from the outside. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic067 My whole family was trapped inside. I smelled the smoke and got myself and my little sister, Rafaela, out though a window, but everyone else.... VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic067 My parents, my grandmother, my two brothers and two of my sisters all died. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic068 Rafaela and I ran. We were pursued by some of the men who attacked our home, but I was always a good shot. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic068 The ones who came after us, I killed. The rest, I left be. I had to take care of Rafaela, not throw my life away on revenge. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic069 Maybe. I don't know. All I know is that for all my skill with a pistol, I couldn't help them. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic069 Anyway, that was weighing on my mind. Thanks for letting me get it out in the open, boss. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic070 I know that, boss. That's not what I'm getting at. I'm just getting sentimental in my old age. Anyways, forget it. Just wanted that off my chest. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic071 {angry, but more tired}Maybe we made a mistake. It was early on, we didn't know just how serious it was out there. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic071 But to say they deserved it? What kind of devil are you, {sarcastic emphasis}boss? VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic072 I don't think it was as hard hit as DC or Bakersfield, but it was bad enough. By the time we got there, the city was a radioactive ruin. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic072 Still, the city was full of looters, already forming into the beginnings of raider tribes. Crime was bad before the War, but now it was a nightmare. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic072 We were living like scavengers, scraping by on what little food we could find, always looking for medicine for my burns. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic072 And then, of course, the radiation started to kick in, turning me into this handsome devil you see before you. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic073 Sorry. I assumed the only reason you'd fight past a horde of Super mutants and pick the lock on my cell is if you heard my cry for help on the radio. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic073 But maybe you're just sightseeing. So, since the door's open and all, can I go now? VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic074 Name's Raul. Raul Alfonso Tejada. I'm the mechanic around here. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic074 You forget about me already, boss? You sure you didn't take a blow to the head or something? VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic074 My name is Raul Alfonso Tejada. Can I leave now, or did you want to ask me again in five minutes? VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic075 Oh, sure, boss. I was always good at fixing things. Some I fixed for the town, some I fixed for other people, some I fixed just for the hell of it. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic075 It's a better way to use your hands than killing, and even then I wasn't getting any younger or faster. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic075 I lived there for a long time. Kept to myself, didn't get into any fights - hell, the only reason I even kept my guns oiled was professional pride. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic076 Getting there, boss. I'd been in Tuscon - the locals can call it Two-Sun all they want, but it's Tuscon, dammit - about 75 years when she showed up. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic076 Prettiest thing you ever saw, boss. Maybe it was just a trick of my senile brain, but I swear she looked just like my Rafaela. Her name was Claudia. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic076 She ended up taking work at one of the brothels in town. I never went to her, of course - how could I? But I looked after her in my own way. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic077 This was a long time ago. Before Caesar's Legion pacified Arizona and brought the raider tribes to heel. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic077 A tribe came into Tuscon one day - more a gang, really. Dirty Dave and his six brothers. They were looking for bullets, and I sold some to them. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic077 I figured if I did that, they'd leave town before they tore it up too much. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic079 No, boss. No they didn't. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic079 As I was saying, I hoped they'd leave the town in peace. Instead, they decided to stop at Claudia's brothel to take the edge off. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic079 I don't know which one of them got rowdy first, but by the time I heard the screams and got my guns, it was too late. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic079 They'd shot up the brothel, killed four girls, and taken Claudia for their sport. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic080 I went after Dave and his brothers. They had a head start, but they slept nights. I didn't. Took me three days to catch up to them. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic080 Claudia was dead when I got there. They'd put a bullet in each of her eyes. I couldn't do anything except avenge her, just like Rafaela. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic080 I charged into the middle of their camp and started firing - two of them were dead before they knew I was there. The other five, though.... VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic080 They shot the shit out of me. I would have died, I think, if I wasn't so full of rage. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic081 By being a meaner old cuss than the rest of them, boss. I wanted to keep living until they weren't, so I just kept shooting until they were all dead. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic081 I was in pretty bad shape in the end, though. I don't know how long I laid there with the sun baking me and the buzzards chomping at me. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic081 Eventually I got the strength to start moving. Some long time after that, I managed to drag my carcass back to town. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic082
No. No, boss, I'm, a prisoner of the crazy Super Mutant with the wig and the glasses. I was kind of hoping you were here to set me free.
VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic082 But maybe I'm not a pretty enough damsel for that, huh? VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic083 When I recovered - more or less, anyways - I left Tuscon and headed west. I ran into Tabitha at Black Mountain and, well, the rest you know. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic083 I swore I was done with the gunslinging life - I was too old, too slow, and too beat up to protect anyone anymore. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic083 I thought I was done forever... but after traveling with you, I realize I've always had my doubts. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic083 When I recovered - more or less, anyways - I left Tuscon and headed west. I ran into Tabitha at Black Mountain and, well, the rest you know. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic083 I swore I was done with the gunslinging life - I was too old, too slow, and too beat up to protect anyone anymore. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic083 After seeing what you go through, I think I made the right choice. So thanks for that, boss. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic083 When I recovered - more or less, anyways - I left Tuscon and headed west. I ran into Tabitha at Black Mountain and, well, the rest you know. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic083 I swore I was done with the gunslinging life - I was too old, too slow, and too beat up to protect anyone anymore. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic083 I thought I was done forever... but after traveling with you, I realize that was the wrong decision. So thanks for that, boss. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic084 About whether I still had what it took to carry my pistols proudly, to use them to do what's right. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic084 And now that I've been traveling with you for a while, you've made me realize that I can still do that. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic084 Maybe I'm not as tough as I used to be, but my brains can make up for that, and my hands are still quick enough. It's time to put the guns back on. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic084 About whether I'm really too old to keep living the life of a gunslinger after all. And after seeing what you go through, boss, I think I am. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic084 From now on, I'll let you deal with the fighting and stick to keeping your gear working. I don't want to slow you down more than I already do. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic085 You can bet on that, boss. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic086 Thanks, boss. I'd hate to think I was disappointing you with my life-altering decision. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic087 [SUCCEEDED] I suppose you're right, boss. These bones are too old for that kind of action. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic087 [FAILED] I'm sure you've got a lot of ideas, boss, but how about if you let me make this decision? VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic087 Tell you what, I'll at least think about it for a while. Ask me about it again another time. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic088 [SUCCEEDED] You think so? Well... you're the boss. Okay, I'll give it a try. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic088 But if I get killed, and if there's an afterlife, I'll haunt your ass. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic092 [FAILED] I'm sure you've got a lot of ideas, boss, but how about if you let me make this decision? VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic092 Tell you what, I'll at least think about it for a while. Ask me about it again another time. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic093 Really? Thanks for the reminder, boss, I'd almost forgotten. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic094 You're a poet of understatement, boss. But there were moments it was almost worth it. I still remember finding that novelty costume shop. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic094 I was just looking for something I could slice up to wrap my burns when I saw the vaquero outfit hanging on the rack, like it hadn't been touched. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic094 I took it - not like anybody else needed it, you know? - and wore it back to our camp. Rafaela laughed for the first time since the bombs had fallen. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic095 It was. I started to build up a legend. Sometimes it headed off trouble, but most of the time it just started more. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic095 Young punks looking to prove themselves would come looking for me, but my eyes were sharp and my guns were quick. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic095 For a whle it seemed like we might even survive there, until... until Rafaela. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic096 She went out to find some food one day. {digressing, maybe justifying to himself a little}I was sick, so I stayed at our camp. I guess it must have been the beginnings of radiation poisoning. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic096 Anyway, it was supposed to be safe, but some raiders happened to pass through where she was scavenging. I won't speak of what they did to her. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic096 When I found her body, the only way to recognize her was this funny little scar on her knee from when she was a little girl. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic097 Terrible doesn't begin to cover it, boss. I'd let my whole family down - first the ranch, now Rafaela. I was the last Tejada. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic097 I guess maybe I went a little crazy then. I took my guns, and I went back to that market. I didn't have many bullets, but I had enough. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic097 After the raiders were dead, I salvaged what I could from the store. I was tired... I just wanted to be alone forever. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic098 I left Mexico City behind. I made my way out to the Gulf Coast, eventually I found an old Petro-Chico refinery nobody had claimed. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic098 I stayed there for a little while, and I thought a lot about my life. I thought about the guns I'd lived by and what they'd gotten me. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic098 I decided my guns hadn't gotten me anything, and it was time to give it up. I took off that old vaquero outfit, and put on a Petro-Chico jumpsuit. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic098 The name tag said Miguel VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic099 Probably because it used to be Miguel's. Whoever he was. How about if you let me go, huh boss? VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic100 Talk to me at my shack, I've at least got tools there. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic101 Oh, sure thing. I haven't even remotely grown sick of staring at this place. VDialogueRaulRaulTejadaTopic104 Yeah? Maybe you can introduce them to me if we find them, because I've never met one. VDialogueRemnantsVRemCannibalJohnsonTopic000 What do you want to know? VDialogueRemnantsVRemCannibalJohnsonTopic001 {grinning and being difficult}Ha. I'm not saying. It's part of my mystique, after all. VDialogueRemnantsVRemCannibalJohnsonTopic001 {grinning}I'm still not saying. VDialogueRemnantsVRemCannibalJohnsonTopic002 Well, ain't like I've got places to be. VDialogueRemnantsVRemCannibalJohnsonTopic003 Be seeing you. {beat, afterthought - he's very old and could die any time}Maybe. VDialogueRemnantsVRemCannibalJohnsonTopic004 Squad marksman. I'm pretty proud of the fact that I never killed a single soul who wasn't trying to kill me or one of my team first. VDialogueRemnantsVRemCannibalJohnsonTopic005 Sure do. Had a wife for awhile - tribal girl, really pretty eyes - but she's been gone a long time now. VDialogueRemnantsVRemCannibalJohnsonTopic006 {Arcade hired}Thought I recognized the fellow with you. So, what's this reunion all about, then? VDialogueRemnantsVRemCannibalJohnsonTopic006 {Arcade not hired}There's a name I haven't heard in awhile. So, what's this reunion all about, then? VDialogueRemnantsVRemCannibalJohnsonTopic007 Well, now, there's an interesting idea - do a bit of good before we're all dead and forgotten. You can count me in. VDialogueRemnantsVRemCannibalJohnsonTopic007 Oh, and in case Arcade forgot to mention it, there's a five-word pass phrase needed to get into the bunker. My word is old" - appropriate VDialogueRemnantsVRemCannibalJohnsonTopic008 Yeah, the NCR and the Legion are about due for another dustup. So, you're going to get yourself involved in that? All right, I'm in. Could be fun. VDialogueRemnantsVRemCannibalJohnsonTopic009 {slightly offended}Hey, I was just asking. No need to get uppity about it. I'll be at the reunion, don't you worry. VDialogueRemnantsVRemCannibalJohnsonTopic010 I'm sorry to say that it was. Civilian casualties was acceptable and sometimes... encouraged. My former squadmate Moreno didn't need encouraging. VDialogueRemnantsVRemCannibalJohnsonTopic010 Moreno and I might've killed each other if Captain Kreger hadn't been there to pull us apart. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDaisyWhitmanTopic000 {pilot lingo - means watch your back}Watch your six out there. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDaisyWhitmanTopic001 {clarifying}Vertibird pilot. Seventy-one missions and only lost one chopper. Rotor malfunction over Klamath. Hard landing, but I walked away. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDaisyWhitmanTopic002 I help folks strip down the more complicated bits of salvage they bring in - engines, mostly. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDaisyWhitmanTopic002 The bits and pieces we take out are usually worth more than the whole thing put together. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDaisyWhitmanTopic003 For?" No VDialogueRemnantsVRemDaisyWhitmanTopic004 Told you everything about us, did he? Well, it's been a while since I've had my hands on the controls of a vertibird. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDaisyWhitmanTopic004 There's a chance I could crash us in the middle of Lake Mead - that place seems to attract aircraft, for some reason. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDaisyWhitmanTopic004 But, if I'll get one more chance to fly, count me in. I'll be there. My part of the pass phrase is Dear."" VDialogueRemnantsVRemDaisyWhitmanTopic005 Well, anyway, Judah's given Orion's armor to you now. It'll take a few hours for me to show you how to use it properly, so let's get started. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDaisyWhitmanTopic006 Yeah, he did. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDaisyWhitmanTopic007 Right. Moving on, then. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDaisyWhitmanTopic008 {nostalgia}I never was happier than when I was in the cockpit. I was able to go just about anywhere and everywhere, limited only by the fuel I could carry. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDaisyWhitmanTopic008 There were more than a few missions where I took the scenic route home just so I could stay in the air. Caught hell for it every time, but worth it! VDialogueRemnantsVRemDaisyWhitmanTopic008 {more sober, slightly defensive}Some of the things we did were questionable, I know. That's just how it was back then. Figure I've done enough good to make up for any sins, anyhow. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic000 Yes, yes. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic001 It's neural degradation. Bio med gel can only preserve a living brain for so long, so you'll need to find a replacement. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic001 I haven't left Jacobstown in years, but there was one woman in Novac... Gibson? I remember her living with a pack of hounds. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic001 Aside from her, I know that the Fiends and Caesar's Legion fight alongside dogs. There could be viable specimens among them, if you can get to them. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic001 {Rex not inside Lodge}I don't see him with you. Bring him to me and I'll take a look. Otherwise, I'll just be guessing. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic002 Promising, but I won't be able to synthesize the drug anytime soon. I really should get back to my work. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic003 {work not yet complete}You must have something important in mind. I'm willing to go to this little reunion, but my work here isn't complete. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic003 Help me get my research to a stage where I can hand it over to my assistant, Calamity, and then ask me about this again. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic003 {VMS41 complete}I'm intrigued, so I'll go to this reunion. I'll be handing things over to Calamity, so talk to her if anything comes up. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic003 Oh, you'll need my word from the pass phrase to get into the bunker - friends." Don't forget it." VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic009 All right, let's see here... neural pathways look good... definitely a breed of guard dog. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic009 If I transplant this brain into Rex, he'll be a bit more ferocious in his attacks. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic012 It's possible, but I've yet to see any hard evidence or hear of any cases where humans were negatively affected. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic012 Its negative effects are more pronounced on Nightkin. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic013 Because Marcus asked me to and because it's a reason for me to get up in the morning. I'd like to get one more grand accomplishment done. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic014 I'm not convinced that the Nightstalker mutation is a natural one, and I need someone to investigate their lair for proof. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic014 Some of the Super Mutants have looked around as well, but they've come back empty-handed. Perhaps a pair of fresh eyes will have better luck. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic014 Lily might be interested in coming with you - she's lost a few of her Bighorners to Nightstalker attacks and would enjoy a little revenge. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic015 If we must. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic016 Very well, show me what you've brought so that I can analyze its potential. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic016 And your cyber-dog is... where, exactly? I can't perform the operation without him, hopefully for obvious reasons. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic019 Have a seat. This will take awhile. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic020 Let's take a look... exceptional synapse responses... descended from some type of cattle dog, I imagine. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic020 If you want me to transplant this brain into Rex, he'll become more durable. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic021 Have a seat. This will take awhile. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic022 All right. {shrugging}Your call. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic024 Big brain on this one. All right, let's see... damn, heavy amounts of the chemicals used in the drug Turbo are present. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic024 Transplanting this brain will make Rex faster than he was before. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic025 Have a seat. This will take awhile. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic026 I've compared the brain chemistry of a Nightkin to one of the local Nightstalkers we killed. They both exhibit similar neurochemical changes. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic026 Now, I'm not claiming that Nightstalkers are running around wearing Stealth Boys, mind you. I just don't think it's all a coincidence. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic028 Very well. Please stand back - I don't want any erroneous readings. You're welcome to stay and observe if you want, though. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic028 Wait, Lily's not in position yet. Talk to me again once she's settled in. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic029 {impatient}Oh, all right. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic031 Hmmm... there's still power, but the casing is cracked. I'm astonished that exposure to the stealth radiation could induce mutations so rapidly. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic031 More importantly, this explains why my research into this group of Nightstalkers hasn't come up with a cure for the Nightkin. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic031 There's only one avenue left for me - I need to run the Mark II test on Lily. It's the only way. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic031 {Lily dead}Hmmm... there's still power, but the casing is cracked. I'm astonished that exposure to the stealth radiation could induce mutations so rapidly. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic031 More importantly, this explains why my research into this group of Nightstalkers hasn't come up with a cure for the Nightkin. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic031 I did have a test in mind using Lily, but since she's dead, that's no longer a possibility. Regrettable. Anyway, you've done all you can. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic032 Lily is eccentric, certainly, but I've never felt she was dangerous. More importantly, she asked if she could help me in some way. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic032 I've told her about the risks, and she still insists on helping me. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic033 I'll be waiting. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic034 I prefer the solitude, and having a bunch of Super Mutants around tends to keep things safe and quiet. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic035 Yes. Specializing in neuroscience, both human and canine. Of course, this lab is nothing compared to what I had when I was with the Enclave. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic036 Cyber-dogs and the like. It's not a field I work in much anymore. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic037 Yes, but the leadership and I didn't see eye to eye, so I left. It was the right decision, since the Enclave's oil rig was destroyed not long after. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic038 The Nightkin have varying degrees of mental instability due their addiction to Stealth Boy use. I've been trying to come up with a cure. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic038 I'm currently investigating the local Nightstalker population since they seem to have developed a natural stealth field. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic038 I've also gotten my hands on a working Stealth Boy Mark II prototype, but that experiment is riskier. I'd rather not pursue that research just yet. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic041 Thank you. I strongly suspect that the source of the mutation is artificial, but the Super Mutants found nothing. Your fresh eyes may do better. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic041 Lily might be interested in coming with you - she's lost a few of her Bighorners to Nightstalker attacks and would enjoy a little revenge. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic042 Possibly immediate and permanent mental damage. There's a reason the Stealth Boy Mark IIs never got beyond the prototype stage. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic042 Lily already has a pre-existing condition, and the experiment will likely make things worse for her. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic043 The stealth field has been modulated to use less power and thus last longer, but for some reason it has pronounced negative effects on the user. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic043 However, these pronounced effects will allow me to pinpoint exactly what parts of the brain they're affecting. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic043 Unfortunately, I'll need to run the test on a live subject, and Marcus has encouraged me to investigate the Nightstalker mutation first. VDialogueRemnantsVRemDoctorHenryTopic044 Once you're done thinking, talk to Lily. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic000 {as a way of goodbye}Uh-huh. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic001 {Arcade hired}{to another person}Hello, Arcade. Making some new friends, are you? VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic001 {to the player}Why the need for a bunch of old warhorses like us? VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic001 {Arcade not hired}Why the need for a bunch of old warhorses like us? VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic002 I help tend the crops, stand watch for Fiends, and generally help keep things civilized. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic003 {Judah agrees to come}Swooping in on a vertibird, guns blazing? Haven't done that in years, but all right, I'm in. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic003 None of this means a thing if the rest of the group doesn't show up, though. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic003 Oh, and you'll need my part of the pass phrase to get into the bunker - Navarro."" VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic004 {bemused}It really must be bad out there if he's sending you to us. Is the idea that we swoop in by vertibird, guns blazing? VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic005 Well, assuming our equipment cache is intact, my squad would have the edge in armor and firepower. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic005 There's only a handful of us, though, so the best tactic would be for us to swoop in where the target isn't expecting us. {asking for an opinion of his plan}How am I doing? VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic006 Moreno, Johnson, Henry, and I will be the boots on the ground. Whitman will stay with the vertibird. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic007 This was a minor refueling station for vertibirds. It seemed an appropriate place to stash our equipment if we ever needed. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic007 I'm surprised this place hasn't fallen apart. When I put it into standby mode, I expected to return to it within a few years, not decades. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic008 {No decision}You still need time to think? VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic008 We'll be there when you need us. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic009 {disagreeing with player}I disagree. You're the one who wanted our help in the first place. You want us to succeed, you go talk to Moreno. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic010 Then that's the plan. We're going to have a problem with Moreno, though. He won't like that we're helping the NCR - you'll have to talk to him. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic011 Well, now. An opportunity for payback after all these years. Johnson won't go along with it, though - he actually likes the NCR. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic012 I stopped being Moreno's officer a long time ago. Everyone here respects me, but they don't need to follow my orders. Not anymore. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic013 He won't turn on us, but he's a good shot and I'd hate to do this without him. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic014 They won, we didn't. It's as simple as that. The rest of us moved on while Moreno... didn't. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic014 Still, I'm not convinced Moreno hates the NCR as much as he thinks he does. You still might be able to talk him out of leaving. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic015 I stopped being Johnson's officer a long time ago. Everyone here respects me, but they don't need to follow my orders. Not anymore. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic016 He won't turn on us, but he's a good shot and I'd hate to do this without him. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic017 No, I'm afraid. Johnson truly hates the Legion. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic018 You've got only one chance at this. I know Moreno - once he's made up his mind about something, there's no changing it. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic019 Since Johnson won't be needing his Power Armor, I've decided to let you have it. You'll need training in how to use it, so talk to Moreno about it. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic020 {Judah agrees to come}I'll be there, but it won't mean squat if the rest of the group isn't there, too. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic021 {Judah agrees to come}I hope you weren't thinking we were going to take the lead. That's no job for a bunch of graybeards. Or grayheads, in Whitman's case. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic021 I'll be there at the reunion. Let's hope the others show up, too, or this plan isn't going to work. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic022 {Judah agrees to come}Yeah, well, don't count on us sticking around if things get too hot. We're not a suicide squad. I'll go to this reunion. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic023 Couple of years now. I was a trader for awhile, but got tired of all the walking. Westside was a good place to settle down as any. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic024 {wistful}I miss those days sometimes. We all had a purpose, you know? I admit that some of the folks in charge were pretty ruthless. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic024 The rest of us, though - we were just trying to civilize things. The NCR was still new and it didn't look like they'd last all that long. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic024 Then, we lost the oil rig and shortly after that, the base at Navarro. Nobody left except us Remnants. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic025 Internal sabotage took down the oil rig - never did get the full story. The NCR took out Navarro, saying we posed a threat to the region. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic026 I was the officer in charge, and Johnson and Moreno were my heavy hitters. Henry handled tech things, and Whitman flew the chopper. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic026 Johnson and Moreno never got along, and I had my hands full keeping those two apart some days. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic026 It was a difference in philosophy, mostly. Mercy" was not part of Moreno's vocabulary." VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic027 Good. That'll save us some time. VDialogueRemnantsVRemJudahKregerTopic028 The training might take several hours, so keep that in mind. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic000 {dismissive grunt}Hmmph. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic001 {to player's companion}Been awhile, Arcade. {to player}So, what's the point of all this? Can't find any younger mercenaries? VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic002 Arcade, huh? Heard he was with the Followers of the Apocalypse. So, what's the point of all this? Can't find any younger mercenaries? VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic003 {cynical chuckle}Oh, like you wouldn't believe. The NCR makes a habit out of wrecking homes. I came out here to get away from them - didn't work out so well. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic003 Next thing I know, I'm squatting in {emphasis their"}"their" land. {irritation}Never mind that I'd already been living here for years." VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic004 Do? I don't do anything. I'm retired. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic005 Is that right? The million dollar question is who exactly are we settling?"" VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic006 {bitterly}You can thank the NCR for that one. {sudden thought}Wait - this isn't on behalf of the NCR, is it? VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic007 {sarcasm}You're doing a fine job of convincing me to go along with this. Really. I'll ask again - why us? VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic008 [SUCCEEDED] {grudgingly}I can't believe you've actually talked me into this. {sigh}Fine, I'm in, but don't expect me to hold my fire if any NCR troops get in the way. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic008 [FAILED] Sorry, but there's no glory in helping out the NCR. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic009 So you help them at the Dam only to screw them over big time later? {sigh}All right, I'll go along with this, then. I hope I don't regret it. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic010 I've known them far longer than you have. They'll get over it. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic011 {menace}Change of plan - you'll find that I've sealed the doors to this hangar - I don't want my friends getting involved in our little disagreement. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic011 Once I'm done with you, I'll talk them out of this stupid plan. You've opened some old wounds - it's only fair I return the favor. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic012 Getting my gear, what does it look like? What, you think I'm going to leave this here for someone like you? I don't think so. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic013 No amount of caps will ever repay what the NCR robbed from me. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic014 {slowly repeating player}You haven't decided - {sarcasm}well, this is just getting better every second, isn't it? VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic015 No, I'm done talking. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic016 Let's see what you've got. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic017 I wouldn't mind cutting down a few platoons of NCR troopers with my old gatling laser. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic018 Yeah, it does. There's not a chance you'll find me helping the NCR in any way. They've caused me too much grief. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic019 I was a soldier. Why do you even care? I came out here to forget about the past, so quit bringing it up. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic020 {Orion agrees to come}Oh, I'll come, but depending on the plan, I might not be staying. Keep that in mind. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic021 {Orion agrees to come}All right, then - I'll show up at this gathering of yours. It might be good to see the others - {scowling}Johnson excluded. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic021 Arcade might've mentioned there's a pass phrase needed to get into the bunker - my part is Remember."" VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic024 Heavy weapons trooper. {grim glee}Nothing better than hosing down a target with an excess of bullets and laser fire. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic024 By the time I got through with things, not much was left standing. Any morons who didn't run when they saw me coming got what they deserved. VDialogueRemnantsVRemOrionMorenoTopic024 Back then, it was war. {growling}If we'd been on the winning side, I'd be called a hero. VDialogueRexRexTopic000 {Rex not cured}

Got something to show ya! vDialogueSecuritronElDorado It's just at the top of the ridge here... vDialogueSecuritronElDorado There you have it - New Vegas, pretty as a diamond flush. vDialogueSecuritronElDorado Well, rambler, it's a royal flush that beats all!

Evening.{face screen blinks to default Securitron} vDialogueSharecropper1ERomanowskiTopic000 Carry on. vDialogueSharecropper1ERomanowskiTopic001 A lot of the crops grown here support the various NCR camps in the region - McCarran, Golf, and Forlorn Hope, to name a few. vDialogueSharecropper1ERomanowskiTopic001 We can't have wastelanders popping in here for a free meal, so my squad and I are assigned to keep things from going to hell. vDialogueSharecropper1ERomanowskiTopic002 Impressive, aren't they? You don't see anything like this outside of NCR territory, that's for sure. vDialogueSharecropper1ERomanowskiTopic002 We get the water - clean water - pumped in from Lake Mead. If you follow the big pipes, they'll take you all the way to the Lake. vDialogueSharecropper1ERomanowskiTopic003 The Office of Science and Industry has carefully calculated the amount of water needed for these crops. The whole thing is handled by computer. vDialogueSharecropper1ERomanowskiTopic003 Besides, most of these crops look fine to me. If the farmers can't handle the job, they shouldn't have signed up in the first place. vDialogueSharecropper1ERomanowskiTopic003 If there really is a problem, they can take it up with Lieutenant Boyd at McCarran. Farming isn't my department. vDialogueSharecropper1ERomanowskiTopic004 Corporal White is currently solving the mystery of the {sarcasm}Great Water Shortage. Tried to convince me he had proof, even. I didn't buy any of it. vDialogueSharecropper1ERomanowskiTopic004 He went over to Westside to talk to Tom Anderson. Anderson's a Follower of the Apocalypse. Helps the people in Westside grow crops or something. vDialogueSharecropper1ERomanowskiTopic005 Haven't seen him. Serves him right if the NCR declares him AWOL. vDialogueSharecropper1ERomanowskiTopic006 He's a glory hound, always looking for a way to get promoted to Ranger. Thinks he's too good to be a regular trooper like the rest of us. vDialogueSharecropper1ERomanowskiTopic007 Yes, please do. vDialogueSharecropper1ERomanowskiTopic008 {doesn't get it}I... really don't see the connection. {trying to save face}Look, I'm a soldier, not a scientist. I just do my job. vDialogueSharecropper1ERomanowskiTopic009 That's... great? So there was a problem, after all. Huh. {making excuses}Well, I'm not a scientist, so it's not my fault if I didn't see anything wrong. vDialogueSharecropper1ERomanowskiTopic010 They're based out of the old fort in Freeside. They supposedly helped the NCR out at some point, but they go their own way now. vDialogueSharecropper1ERomanowskiTopic010 They know stuff about tech and medicine and usually help out anybody who asks. Can't say I know any more than that. vDialogueSharecropper1ERomanowskiTopic011 They're based out of the old fort in Freeside. They supposedly helped the NCR out at some point, but they go their own way now. vDialogueSharecropper1ERomanowskiTopic011 They know stuff about tech and medicine and usually help out anybody who asks. Can't say I know any more than that. vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic000 Adios. vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic001 Sure do. Came from The Hub on account of the Thaler Act. Farming's decent work, but the whole thing's a bum deal. vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic002 Something the politicians back in Shady Sands came up with. They pay us to move here and farm the land. They even protect the fields. vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic003 Bad soil and rationed water. It's to be expected around here, but the rationing's off. Worst part is NCR won't admit it. vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic003 Pretty hard to meet their crop quotas with twenty percent less water than we're supposed to be getting. Not that OSI cares about any of this. vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic004 They're part of the deal, the Thaler Act. We work the fields while they protect the crops and the water. vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic004 Lotta folks come to New Vegas and lose everything in Freeside or the Strip. They get hungry, desperate, and try to take our hard work. vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic004 Much as I sympathize, their theft would put me in a bad spot. I got a crop quota to meet. vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic005 Everything I can. Farmers out here don't have the luxury of being picky. I get by mostly on maize and tobacco. vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic006 Can do. vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic007 Westside, huh? I hope the NCR does something about those thieving bastards. I appreciate it, and so do the rest of the farmers. vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic007 Maybe you don't want for food much, but you can sell these on the market for a good price. Like I said, we're much obliged for the help. vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic008 That's what I figured. Don't know why the heck they're so stubborn they couldn't just admit it. vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic009 Sure you don't. All just a happy coincidence, am I right? vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic010 I hear the Brahmin ranchers out in Redding are looking for some hard workers, so I might try there first. I hate working with Brahmin, though. vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic011 Good luck to you out here. vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic012 I wouldn't be able to meet the quota, and the NCR would kick me out of my job, anyway. Nah, it's better I get out on my own terms. vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic013 Yes, he said he was looking into the water shortage, but I haven't heard back from him. Got the feeling he wasn't here in any official way. vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic013 White was talking to me about computer stuff and water delivery schedules through the pipes, but I'm just a farmer. Tech stuff is beyond me. vDialogueSharecropper1ETrentBascomTopic013 The last person I saw him talking to was Lieutenant Romanowski. Romanowski's around here somewhere. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic000 What's your reputation in Freeside? vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic001 Freeside: Idolized. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic002 Freeside: Accepted. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic003 Freeside: Wild Child. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic004 Freeside: Rascal. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic005 Freeside: Shunned. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic006 Freeside: Vilified. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic007 What's your reputation with the Boomers? vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic008 Boomers: Idolized. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic009 Boomers: Accepted. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic010 Boomers: Wild Child. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic011 Boomers: Rascal. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic012 Boomers: Shunned. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic013 Boomers: Vilified. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic014 What's your reputation with the Strip? vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic015 The Strip: Idolized. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic016 The Strip: Accepted. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic017 The Strip: Wild Child. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic018 The Strip: Rascal. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic019 The Strip: Shunned. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic020 The Strip: Vilified. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic021 What's your reputation with the Followers? vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic022 Followers: Idolized. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic023 Followers: Accepted. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic024 Followers: Wild Child. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic025 Followers: Rascal. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic026 Followers: Shunned. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic027 Followers: Vilified. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic028 Which companion? vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic029 What's your reputation at Goodsprings? vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic030 Goodsprings: Idolized. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic031 Goodsprings: Accepted. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic032 Goodsprings: Wild Child. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic033 Goodsprings: Rascal. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic034 Goodsprings: Shunned. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic035 Goodsprings: Vilified. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic036 What's your reputation with the Brotherhood of Steel? vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic037 BoS: Idolized. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic038 BoS: Accepted. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic039 BoS: Wild Child. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic040 BoS: Rascal. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic041 BoS: Shunned. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic042 BoS: Vilified. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic043 What's your reputation with Primm? vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic044 Primm: Idolized. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic045 Primm: Accepted. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic046 Primm: Wild Child. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic047 Primm: Rascal. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic048 Primm: Shunned. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic049 Primm: Vilified. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic050 What's your reputation with Novac? vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic051 Novac: Idolized. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic052 Novac: Accepted. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic053 Novac: Wild Child. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic054 Novac: Rascal. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic055 Novac: Shunned. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic056 Novac: Vilified. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic057 What do you want to do with Rex? vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic058 Very well. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic059 Done. vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic060 What else? vDialogueTestaclesDebugTestaclesTopic061 Done.

Come back by here when you're done at the tables. vDialogueTheStripVStreetCasinoGuardTopic001 {Player fails the sneak attempt}[FAILED] Nice try, wiseass. Now hand everything over before you make a *second* mistake. vDialogueTheStripVStreetCasinoGuardTopic001 [FAILED] Oh, now, what surprise - someone trying to smuggle in weapons. vDialogueTheStripVStreetCasinoGuardTopic001 Look, jackass, the job's rough enough as it is without troublemakers like you, so either hand it all over or take your caps elsewhere. vDialogueTheStripVStreetCasinoGuardTopic003 {Player attacks}You just made a big mistake. vDialogueTheStripVStreetMrHoldoutTopic000 Things guards can't spot when they're patting you down or checking for iron at your hip. vDialogueTheStripVStreetMrHoldoutTopic001 Simple - you can't bring guns into the casino, that's why. They'll strip you to your fists. vDialogueTheStripVStreetMrHoldoutTopic001 Surrre, they say you get it all back when you leave. Me? I don't like being without a little *insurance* when it's my caps on the table. vDialogueTheStripVStreetMrHoldoutTopic002 Take a look at these beauties. vDialogueTheStripVStreetMrHoldoutTopic002 The right weapons for my kind of customer. vDialogueTheStripVStreetMrHoldoutTopic002 The others here don't understand our kind, but you can count of me, friend. vDialogueTheStripVStreetMrHoldoutTopic002 You aren't exactly good for business, so you'll have to live with my prices. vDialogueTheStripVStreetMrHoldoutTopic002 Have a discount, friend. I can't wait to see what you do with these, next. vDialogueTheStripVStreetMrHoldoutTopic002 It's an honor to have my wares used by such a wild badass. Cut's on the house, friend. vDialogueTheStripVStreetMrHoldoutTopic003 {Once only, good bye, fuck off vDialogueTheStripVStreetMrHoldoutTopic003 Stay safe. vDialogueTheStripVStreetMrHoldoutTopic003 You know where to find me, friend. vDialogueTheStripVStreetMrHoldoutTopic003 Make yourself scarce, I got to keep my image. vDialogueTheStripVStreetMrHoldoutTopic003 Bring on the mayhem, friend. vDialogueTheStripVStreetMrHoldoutTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] {Sizing the player up, nods}You might - one fellow I knew was able to slip a pistol past the guards. You? {Sizes up, impressed}I'm guessing you could get a machine gun by them. vDialogueTheStripVStreetMrHoldoutTopic005 [FAILED] {Dubious}An experienced smuggler could get a machine gun or pistol in - you? You're welcome to try. vDialogueTheStripVStreetNCRTrooperMPHarassTopic000 Let's just say that people around here talk about you. They say things, not nice things. We only like to hear nice things, get it? vDialogueTheStripVStreetNCRTrooperMPHarassTopic001 Yeah, that's right. Now, get the fuck out of our sight, before we change our minds. vDialogueTheStripVStreetNCRTrooperMPHarassTopic001 Yeah, that's right. Now, get the fuck out of our sight, before we change our minds. vDialogueTheStripVStreetNCRTrooperMPHarassTopic001 That's not going to cut it anymore. You've become a pain in the ass around here. Double that or we're going to box your ears. vDialogueTheStripVStreetNCRTrooperMPHarassTopic001 That's not going to cut it anymore. You've become a pain in the ass around here. Double that or we're going to box your ears. vDialogueTheStripVStreetNCRTrooperMPHarassTopic001 You cheap bastard, like all Mojave people.{Glances around, and tries to excuse his chickening out. Securitrons patrol the Strip} I'd beat you senseless right now, if we didn't have more important things to do. vDialogueTheStripVStreetNCRTrooperMPHarassTopic001 But this is not over, get it? We'll see each other again, when you least expect it. vDialogueTheStripVStreetNCRTrooperMPHarassTopic002 Think you can get away with this? Guys, time to rough this one up! vDialogueTheStripVStreetNCRTrooperMPHarassTopic005 Yeah, that's right. Now, get the fuck out of our sight, before we change our minds. VDialogueTopsvTopsBartenderRandomTopic000 Best booze in Vegas, baby. What'll it be? VDialogueTopsvTopsBartenderRandomTopic002 Suit yourself.

VDialogueTopsVTopsGreeter1Topic001 Smooth and easy, just the way I like it. Don't worry, they'll be as safe as kittens till you're ready to leave.

VDialogueTopsVTopsGreeter1Topic006 Lady, you just made the biggest mistake of your life. VDialogueVault21MartinaGroesbeckTopic000 I'll be fine... eventually. VDialogueVault21MartinaGroesbeckTopic001 There won't be a next time. I hope. VDialogueVault21MartinaGroesbeckTopic002 I... may have overheard some things at Gomorrah that I passed on to the NCR. That's all! Honest. VDialogueVault21MartinaGroesbeckTopic003 Goodbye! VDialogueVault21MartinaGroesbeckTopic008 Oh. Um... okay. VDialogueVault21MartinaGroesbeckTopic009 {slightly insulted}What? I only talk to Captain Curtis over at McCarran. I would never work with slavers. Honest. VDialogueVault21MartinaGroesbeckTopic010 No! Well, not really. I mean, I'm not listening through doors or sneaking around or anything. People talk out loud, and I just pay attention. VDialogueVault21MartinaGroesbeckTopic010 The NCR likes to keep tabs on the activities of the families, and they pay me good caps to hang around the casinos and keep my ears open. VDialogueVault21MartinaGroesbeckTopic011 It isn't normally. The NCR wanted me to just gamble and listen, nothing else. VDialogueVault21MartinaGroesbeckTopic012 Okay. VDialogueVault21MartinaGroesbeckTopic013 I do odd jobs here and there, usually helping Sarah keep the Vault tidy. I came to New Vegas to be a professional gambler. VDialogueVault21MartinaGroesbeckTopic013 Too bad for me that the professional" part isn't working out so good. But VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic000 Sure thing! VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic000 Anything else I can do for you? VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic001 See you later! VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic002 Sure. Fire away. VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic003 Doctor Usanagi runs a medical clinic up the road. VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic004 I think there a few places, but I've heard that the Gun Runners sell the best. VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic005 All right, then. VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic006 Really? Well, I obviously couldn't supply enough to feed the entire camp, but I'm game. What kind of caps are we talking here? VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic007 Hey, that sounds good to me. No more wasted meat just laying around to rot. I can keep my stock fresh and keep the caps flowing. VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic007 If I get a big delivery brought in, I'll be sure to send a good chunk of it off to McCarran right away. VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic007 Tell Farber I'll try and have the first shipment sorted in a week or two. VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic008 Expanding isn't a bad idea. Maybe I could open up a small cafe restaurant with the more diverse inventory... VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic008 If I get a big delivery brought in, I'll be sure to send a good chunk of it off to McCarran right away. VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic008 Tell Farber I'll try and have the first shipment sorted in a week or two. VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic009 Rations do get tight from time-to-time and it would be nice to keep a regular stock of goods. VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic009 If I get a big delivery brought in, I'll be sure to send a good chunk of it off to McCarran right away. VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic009 Tell Farber I'll try and have the first shipment sorted in a week or two. VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic010 Yeah. VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic011 See you later! VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic012 Good luck to ya. VDialogueVegasEast1EFitzTopic013 I do decent enough. The NCR patrols usually stop by for a quick bite, and travelers like yourself pass by a couple times a week. VDialogueVegasEast1EGunRunnerProtectronTopic000 This kiosk was specially constructed around me to deter theft and assault. VDialogueVegasEast1EGunRunnerProtectronTopic001 All Gun Runner merchandise is constructed on-site. VDialogueVegasEast1EGunRunnerProtectronTopic003 Come back and see us again soon. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic000 Bye. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic001 I'll help you if I can. What are you looking for? VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic002 There's the medic at Camp McCarran, but I've also heard there's a civilian doctor in the northeast part of New Vegas. I don't know for sure. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic003 The Crimson Caravan Company is north of here. They have just about everything you need. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic003 But, if you're in the market for guns, go see the Gun Runners. They're expensive, but they have stuff no one else carries. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic004 I'm a private in the NCR army, and I've been proudly serving for two years now. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic004 Although, if you were asking what I'm doing right this instant, I'm patrolling the farms. It's a safe post, but a little boring. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic004 I do get to take shots at marauding Molerats once in awhile, and that's always fun. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic004 {slightly confused - player is dressed like a fellow trooper}Same as you, I'd imagine? Although, I'm assigned to watch over these farms and keep out trespassers. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic004 I do get to take shots at Molerats once in awhile, so that's always fun. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic005 It's NCR-owned farmland. It produces a lot of the crops that supply McCarran and the Dam. The farmers are all civilians, though. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic005 They work the farms, and in return they get a safe place to stay and clean food and water. Some of 'em aren't all that grateful, though. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic006 I shouldn't have brought it up. It's not my place to spread gossip. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic007 [SUCCEEDED] All right. Some of the farmers, especially Trent Bascom, claim the NCR isn't giving them the water they need to meet their crop quotas. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic007 Personally, I think they're just incompetent and making excuses. The NCR ought to send them all crying back to California. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic008 [FAILED] Not my place to talk. Sorry. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic009 Oh, you'd better believe it. I feel sorry for the troops who are charged with keeping the Fiends from overrunning everything. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic009 The Fiends are scary because they're unpredictable. One day, they'll be taking potshots at you and then running off before you can shoot back. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic009 And the next day, they'll come rushing at you pumped full of drugs and not stopping until you or they are dead. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic011 Current orders are to hold the line and nothing more. That's all we seem to do these days - hold the line. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic011 I guess it's a tricky situation since there's a vault in Fiend territory. If the NCR went after them, they'd just hole up. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic012 Well, I know Major Dhatri is offering bounties on some of the Fiends - that's the gang that controls the southeast part of the city. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic012 You can find the major at the camp just outside of the old airport. VDialogueVegasEast1ESharecropperTrooperCFTopic012 Not sure how to help you with that one. Major Dhatri was offering bounties on some of the Fiends, but I hear someone took care of that recently. vDialogueVegasEast21EBertGunnarssonTopic000 I would be happy to, should you require it. You seem to be in fine health now. vDialogueVegasEast21EBertGunnarssonTopic000 I would be happy to. What I can do isn't much, but I give it freely. vDialogueVegasEast21EBertGunnarssonTopic000 I'm afraid I have exhausted my supplies. If you come back in a day or two, I may be able to do more for you. vDialogueVegasEast21EBertGunnarssonTopic001 I only do what I can to help. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic000 Well, I am a little short staffed. Maybe you could give me a hand. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic000 Some people have gone missing from the camp lately. Haven't seen any signs of violence or heard about any feuds, they just up and vanished. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic000 I've also got Keith and his gambling to deal with - I {emphasis}know that skunk's cheating folk out of their savings, I just can't prove it. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic001 Yeah? Like what? vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic002 They never seemed to have much in common - that's why I didn't notice it sooner. Young folks, old folks, men, women... all disappearing. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic002 I remember a family with a little blonde girl. She... never talked much, but she always carried this little stuffed teddy bear. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic003 Well, you did ask if we needed help. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic004 Seem to recall a lot of them did business with those scavengers over on the West Side - Dermott and Saint James. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic005 Yep. I always warned him not to push my buttons. Well, ain't nobody going to miss him, anyways. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic005 Here you go. I promised you an extra reward for coming along, so that's what you get. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic006 Maybe, maybe not. I always warned him not to push my buttons. Well, ain't nobody going to miss him, anyways. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic006 Here you go. I promised you an extra reward for coming along, so that's what you get. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic007 Here you go. I promised you an extra reward for coming along, so that's what you get. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic008 Keep at it. I need to find out what happened. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic011 Keith's a two-bit hustler, he runs a gambling operation out of his shack. Ask me, he wins way too often to be playing fair. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic011 I suspect he's running drugs, too, I just can't prove it. Maybe you can find something - talk to him, poke around his shack, something. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic012 Glad to have you. Let's go. Just stick close and follow my lead. Keith's a cowardly son of a bitch, but he might try something if he's desperate. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic013 Fair enough - you've done a lot already. I appreciate it. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic014 Glad to hear it. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic015 Hey, you asked, I answered. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic016 How do you know? Did you find proof? vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic017 Those sick bastards - can't say I'll shed any tears for them. Here, you've earned this. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic019 All right. Maybe Dermot's got something, as well. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic021 All right. Maybe Saint James has something connected to the refugees as well. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic022 We know there's a connection with the refugees, but we need to know where they could be found. There could be more evidence in Dermot's room. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic023 We need a direct connection to the refugees, now that we've got an idea of what happened to them. Saint James could have something in his room. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic024 Let's see... a bear. Yes, this belonged to the little girl, so that's a direct connection to the missing people. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic024 And this ledger - I know these names. Nephi and Cook are major players with the Fiends. Dermot and Saint James must be working with them. vDialogueVegasEast21ECaptainParkerTopic024 Thank you for your help - I'll make sure those sick bastards get what's coming to them. Here, you've earned this. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic000 Go ahead, mock me. Nothing you say can be worse than my own shame. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic001 You'd do that for a complete stranger? Thank you, friend. The army says they don't have the available manpower - as if this city is more important. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic001 From what I've gathered from NCR rangers, they were most likely taken to Cottonwood Cove. You might start there. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic002 I... God help me, I ran! I abandoned my family to those butchers. Not a day goes by I don't hate myself for that. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic004 Oh God no! I haven't been the best father, but I didn't deserve this! vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic004 They are? Oh my God, thank you! Thank you so much! vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic004 But wait, where are they? vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic004 Oh, thank you! Thank you! vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic004 But wait, what about my wife? vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic004 Oh. Oh, I see. Well... thank you for saving her, at least. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic004 But wait, where is she? vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic004 Oh. Oh, I see. Well... thank you for saving the rest, at least. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic004 But wait, where are they? vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic004 Oh. Oh, I see. Well... thank you for saving one of them, at least. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic004 But wait, where is my child? vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic006 Oh. Oh, I see. Well... thank you for saving my children, at least. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic006 Where did they go? vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic009 Please, hurry! vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic012 My name's Frank Weathers. I'm a farmer, got a few hundred acres near Junktown. Well, I was a farmer. I guess I'm not much of anything now. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic013 {Vehement}They're cannibals, slavers, and worse. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic013 I hear rumors they're poised to overrun the entire Colorado River Valley, and even the Army won't be enough to stop them. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic013 One of the officers here, or at Camp McCarran, might be able to tell you more. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic014 Why does anybody? I thought I'd strike it rich at the tables, make my fortune and never have to plow those damn fields again. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic014 I just wanted to provide for my family - and now they're gone. All gone. God forgive me.... vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic015 Yes? Have you found them? vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic016 We were crossing the Mojave, not far from Searchlight, when a band of Caesar's Legion slavers came out of nowhere. They took my family. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic016 Caesar's Legion attacked us near Searchlight. The rangers say they probably took my family to Cottonwood Cove. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic018 [SUCCEEDED] You're right. I've been a mean son of a bitch the past couple years. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic018 It won't be easy, but I'll try going sober. Maybe then my family will want me back. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic018 Thank you for doing what you can. I won't let this go to waste. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic018 [FAILED] They're my blood, man. You don't just walk away from your blood! vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic018 [FAILED] They're my blood, lady. You don't just walk away from your blood! vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic019 {Surprised}What?! Why won't you tell me? vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic019 {Growing Anger}Did my wife put you up to this?! What lies did she tell you? vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic021 [SUCCEEDED] Here, I don't have much left at this point. Please, just tell me where they are. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic022 Dammit, I'll find them eventually! Mark my words! vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic024 [SUCCEEDED] You're right. I've been a mean son of a bitch the past couple years. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic024 What am I supposed to do? I've got no money left, and now my family has abandoned me. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic024 [FAILED] Well look who is all high and mighty! You're no better than me when it boils down, bub. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic025 Crap, those goody-goodies kicked me out of there once already. No way I'm getting in. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic025 Even if I could get in, rehab is for chumps. Well, thanks for doing what you could. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic025 Guess I'll get a fresh start and keep an eye out in case they leave the Fort. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic027 [SUCCEEDED] You're right. I've got nothing left... vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic027 {Pathetic suicidal whimpering - about to shoot self}I'll never see my kids grow up, but they're better off without me. vDialogueVegasEast21EFrankWeathersTopic027 [FAILED] You think you're better than me? You're just like those goody-goody Followers of the Apocalypse. vDialogueVegasEast21EKeithTopic000 Your loss. vDialogueVegasEast21EKeithTopic001 Hey, it's not like I use them {emphasis}all the time. Mostly I keep them in my shack until I see a really fat score roll into town. vDialogueVegasEast21EKeithTopic002 And here you go. Enjoy, my friend. vDialogueVegasEast21EKeithTopic002 Well, then, why are you wasting my time? vDialogueVegasEast21EKeithTopic003 Well, then, why are you wasting my time? VDialogueVegasEastNVIsaacTopic000 Later. VDialogueVegasNorth1ESquatterWatchQuest1Topic000 Pleasure doing business with you. VDialogueVegasNorth1ESquatterWatchQuest1Topic001 Then we ain't going nowhere. VDialogueVegasNorth1ESquatterWatchQuest1Topic003 Pleasure doing business with you. VDialogueVegasNorth1EWatchFiend1Topic000 Oh yeah? Fuck off, asshole. VDialogueVegasNorth1EWatchFiend1Topic003 You better make it worthwhile. I ain't going to risk my neck in The Wasteland for shit. VDialogueVegasNorth1EWatchFiend1Topic004 [FAILED] Like I give a shit. Didn't I say get lost, or are you looking for a beating? VDialogueVegasNorth1EWatchFiend1Topic004 [SUCCEEDED] I don't... wait. You've got a point. VDialogueVegasNorth1EWatchFiend1Topic004 All right, fellas. Let's get out of this shit hole. VDialogueVegasNorth1EWatchFiend1Topic005 What? Hey, guys! Help me here! VDialogueVegasNorth1EWatchFiend1Topic007 Shit, you're crazy! VDialogueVegasNorth1EWatchFiend1Topic008 That'll do, yeah. VDialogueVegasNorth1EWatchFiend1Topic008 All right, fellas. Let's get out of this shit hole. VDialogueVegasNorth1EWatchFiend1Topic009 [SUCCEEDED] Heh. More than I could make in a week of shaking down these assholes anyways. VDialogueVegasNorth1EWatchFiend1Topic009 All right, fellas. Let's get out of this shit hole. VDialogueVegasNorth1EWatchFiend1Topic009 [FAILED] You're shitting me. You got a real offer, or are you just going to waste my time? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic000 Then what the hell {emphasis}do you want? Don't try anything, I mean it! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic001 It's payback time, that's what! They've got no right to screw me over, and I'm tired of it! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic002 You too? Think I'm just a little girl? I'll show you! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic003 Dammit, I can take care of this by myself! That bitch is going to pay for all these years of bossing me around. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] Okay, but this better not be a trick! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic004 [FAILED] I'm not stupid little girl anymore, you can't talk me out of this! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic011 Wh-What are you talking about? Andy wants to help me leave this hole... doesn't he? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic012 She's guarding it, I know she is! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic012 She's locked the bedroom door - like that's going to stop me. I was... I've got a gun, I'm going to make her give it to me! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic012 She's guarding it, I know she is! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic012 She's locked the bedroom door - like that's going to stop me. I was... I've got a gun, I'm going to make her give it to me! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic015 ... That- that- that son of a bitch! I'll take the money and I'll kill him too! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic016 [SUCCEEDED] I... I don't know what I want. But I hate this place, and I hate these people. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic016 It all used to be so simple. Why did they change? Why can't they see my pain? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic016 [SUCCEEDED] I... I don't know what I want. But I hate this place, and I hate these people. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic016 It all used to be so simple. Why did they change? Why can't they see my pain? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic016 [FAILED] The money, yes! It's mine, and nobody can stop me from getting it! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic017 Do they? Look at my Mother, all she cares for is a patch of bare dirt where nothing green will ever grow to feed us. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic017 My Father? A trading business that he'll never own, risking his neck every day against Wastelanders and cut-throat merchants."" VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic017 And I'm supposed to be part of those dreams? What about my dreams, stranger? What about me? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic022 Yeah, okay... I'll shoot the lock off the door and... and then.... Argh, dammit! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic022 ... I can't do it, I can't. She deserves it, and worse, but I can't hurt my own mother! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic047 Oh, you think I won't do it? I'll show you! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic054 Fine. Take it. But what the hell am I supposed to do now? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic055 Oh, you think I won't do it? You think I'm not right in wanting back my life!? I'll show you! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic057 Maybe you're right... but what will they think? How can I look them in the face ever again? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic057 Well, I guess I don't deserve any better, huh? So be it... VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic058 You're right, there's no place for me here. Just... just tell them I'm sorry, and that they won't have to worry about me, ever again. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic064 [SUCCEEDED]... It's all me, isn't it? The pain, the anger, my joy, all of that's just me. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic064 I should've met you before, stranger. Thank you. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic064 [FAILED] Some choice. I can't stay here now, and I don't have the means to leave. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic077 Father... what's he going to do to me? I can't stay here, I can't hide from this! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic078 Are you out of your mind? I just... no, no, no! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic080 I don't want to get out, do you hear me! I just... no, no, no! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAliceHostetlerTopic081 You think I really care about the money? I just... no, no, no! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAndyScabbTopic000 Wait right there. You told my men that Alice's mother was waiting for me outside, didn't you? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAndyScabbTopic000 Wait right there. I don't recall seeing your pretty face before - what do you want? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAndyScabbTopic002 Nobody threatens me and walks away alive! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAndyScabbTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] Hmmm... I've got my eye on you. Get the fuck off my turf. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAndyScabbTopic004 [FAILED] Please, I've seen kids who were better liars than you. Tell the truth now - what are you after? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAndyScabbTopic006 You think I give a shit? Has it crossed your mind that Alice is all the way in this with me? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAndyScabbTopic009 Maybe because I'm so good-looking. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAndyScabbTopic009 Maybe because her mother's trying to break her back planting crops that die from rads as soon as they're in the ground. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAndyScabbTopic009 Or maybe she's just a dupe. Why do you even care? She's happy making her own way in the world. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAndyScabbTopic014 Oh boy, you've just made your last mistake. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAndyScabbTopic015 Leaving so soon? And I thought we'd have time for a little chat. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAndyScabbTopic016 And... you think that's worth her happiness? Go on and tell her, then. Watch what happens when you crush her dreams. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAndyScabbTopic017 Family's just what the world throws on our shoulders without our say or opinion. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAndyScabbTopic017 You think Alice cares about her family? Tell her, then. Family's what drove her to me in the first place. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAndyScabbTopic019 It's not polite to leave in the middle of a conversation, but I won't try to teach you manners. This time. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAndyScabbTopic020 And how exactly would you do that? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAndyScabbTopic022 Yeah, sure. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAndyScabbTopic023 I'm glad we understand each other. Alice's at her home, getting our means out of this shit-hole. Make sure things go smoothly. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasAndyScabbTopic041 That's right, and good riddance. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic000 [FAILED] Really? You'll forgive me if I ask you to back that claim up, won't you? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic000 [SUCCEEDED] That's the kind of stuff I like to hear, stranger. All right, we could use someone like you. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic001 Folks that don't belong. Murderers, rapists, extortionists, and everything in between. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic001 You know, business as usual in North Vegas, stranger. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic002 NCR... did you just crawl out from under a rock? Those folks only care about {emphasize all three theirs"}their business VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic002 NCR's order? Don't make me laugh, stranger. We work this land, we own these streets, and we yank up the bad weeds ourselves, got it? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic004 Suit yourself. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic005 I'll see you around. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic007 [FAILED] Hmm. Honesty's a good trait, stranger, but I don't deal with mercenaries unless I'm damn sure they can be trusted. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic007 [SUCCEEDED] Spoken like a true mercenary. Well, you seem like you can handle yourself, stranger, and we can use people like that. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic007 We may not squander our wealth like those fools in the Strip, but we take care of our own business. Consider this a token of good faith. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic008 I like your speed, stranger. Let me know when that's done. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic009 Mercs with a brain are no good to me, stranger. Let me know when you start behaving like a real gun. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic010 Glad to hear it. Let me know when they're gone. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic012 I like your enthusiasm, stranger. Let me know when that's done. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic014 I thought you'd be made of stronger stuff, merc. Don't prove me wrong or I'll have to find someone else with the guts to do what's right. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic014 Great work. I gotta make sure this place doesn't eat itself from the inside. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic014 Great work. I gotta make sure this place doesn't eat itself from the inside. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic014 I take care of those who help with that. Here, you earned it. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic015 That's good to hear. Can't ever be too careful with strangers around here. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic015 I'm starting to think you're as undesirable around here as those strangers. Do something to change my mind, merc. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic015 That's good to hear. Can't ever keep too many eyes on strangers around here. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic015 I take care of those who help with that. Here, you earned it. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasCrandonTopic016 Suit yourself. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic000 'Cause that's the law of the land. You never know when someone's going to stab you in the back... and I like mine{slight emphasis in upright." The punch-line} upright." VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic000 {Emphasizing his experience, and what it takes to acquire it}Maybe one day, stranger, when you've seen all I've seen, done all I've done, you'll sooner trust a Radscorpion than a new face in The Wasteland. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic001 {Feeling Entitled, and ready to teach a lesson}And I only asked first... I'll try one last time before I find out the hard way. Where you come from, and where you going? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic002 {Dismissive, yet with cautionary tone}All right... keep walking. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic002 I'll see you again, stranger. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic002 So long, warrior. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic004 You ain't too smart, are you? Okay, let's dance. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic006 [FAILED] I sure am, stranger. But there ain't anything about you that makes me want to go into details. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic006 [SUCCEEDED] You've got a sharp eye on you. {Happy to see a similar interest in players}I take it you like guns, huh?{Changes tone, showing the importance of the matter} Question is, can you handle more than just a weapon... VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic009 Sure thing. What's on your noggin? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic009 What's eating you? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic014 We're independent folks here. Merchants, gamblers, NCR whores, all of them trade with us and we offer protection against critters and the Fiends. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic015 That's a long one, stranger. Let's just say I got tired of killing in The Wasteland and now I've found a better home for my old butt. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic016 Alice{Searches in his mind}... Oh yeah. I've seen her 'round here much too often as of late. I reckon she's been hanging out with Andy and his crew. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic018 You heard me. We don't like those stiff-back, clean-hand, little pussies. New Vegas belongs to the people. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic018 The NCR's just a corrupt and bloated monster, no better than any other Wasteland crawler. We make this land wealthy, and we ain't giving it up. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic018 The NCR's just a corrupt and bloated monster, no better than any other Wasteland crawler. We make this land wealthy, and we ain't giving it up. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic019 They're a bunch of lunatics, so pumped full of chems that they don't give a damn about life anymore. Fiends rape, kill and maim for the hell of it. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic019 Vault 3's Fiend territory. Those shit-heads attack Westside all the time, even making it to the rest of Outer Vegas when they crawl under the sewers. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic019 Vault 3's Fiend territory. Those shit-heads attack Westside all the time, even making it to the rest of Outer Vegas when they crawl under the sewers. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic019 {Satisfied}Bad weeds don't die easy. Still, things will be safer now that you've taught a lesson to those crazies. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic020 Try The Gray." Beats me why people go into that forsaken thing. At least with huts and sewers you know they ain't crumbling on top of your head." VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic071 Outer Vegas ain't exactly a safe place. Despite our numbers, The Wasteland creeps through every nook and cranny. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic071 I make sure any dangers to the people of North Vegas stay outside our barriers, stranger. Day and night, I stand watch. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasJulesTopic071 I make sure any dangers to the people of North Vegas stay outside our barriers, stranger. Day and night, I stand watch. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrHostetlerTopic000 {Visibly bothered}Nonsense! Alice's a good girl. She may be going through a hard time, but... VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrHostetlerTopic000 {Realizes that he owes no explanation}What the hell? It's none of your business. Don't bother me with this any longer. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrHostetlerTopic000 {Realizes that he owes no explanation}What the hell? It's none of your business. Don't bother me with this any longer. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrHostetlerTopic002 I don't want to talk about this, didn't you hear? Now, get lost before we run you off the hard way. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrHostetlerTopic004 Yeah, that's right - good to say bye to you. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic000 I know she's been frequenting the square in North Vegas, probably hanging out with street scum. I want to know more about her new friends."" VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic000 I know she's been frequenting the square in North Vegas, probably hanging out with street scum. I want to know more about her new friends."" VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic004 Folks call this East Vegas, but I don't care much for names. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic004 The east side gets lots of merchant and gambler traffic. We're safer here than in North Vegas or Westside, though we've got to put up with the NCR. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic004 The east side gets lots of merchant and gambler traffic. We're safer here than in North Vegas or Westside, though we've got to put up with the NCR. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic005 Don't get me started, stranger. We don't take kindly to either of them. We've fought hard for our home, and we're here to stay. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic005 The Legion knows nothing of working the land. Those folks would rather pillage, burn and steal, like mad beasts. That ain't honest living. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic005 The NCR's no better. They won't burn your home and rape your daughter, sure, but they'll steal your wealth all the same... when you ain't looking.

VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic016 {Grateful, the player just refused a reward she really couldn't afford to pay}We do need it. Still, I wish there was something we could give you in return. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic016 Take care of yourself out there. And if you ever need a friendly hand, know that folks around here will always welcome you. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic020 He did, huh? All right, what do you want? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic021 He should really mind his own business. Crandon's good to keep scum in check, but he ain't exactly subtle. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic022 If you're good at snooping around, then I could use you. I need to find out what my daughter's up to. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic022 She's been frequenting the square in North Vegas, probably hanging out with street scum. I want to know more about her new friends."" VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic023 Whatever you say, stranger. Go snoop somewhere else and get the fuck out of my house, right now! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic024 Are you deaf? I don't give a damn about what you want. Just get out of here. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic025 Get lost! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic025 Goodbye, stranger. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic027 You think I'm going to be easy, huh? Come get some, asshole! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic033 Okay, what's on your mind? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic037 All right, we've got a deal then. I'll make sure to compensate you for your time, {emphasis}if you find anything useful. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic038 This ain't babysitting VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic045 [SUCCEEDED] Yes, I suppose you're right. Please, take this: it's half of our savings. We'll manage, somehow, as we've always done. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic045 Take care of yourself out there. And if you ever need a friendly hand, know that folks around here will always welcome you. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic045 [FAILED] We've worked day and night, for months, to make that much. This is all we can give. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic045 Take care of yourself out there. And if you ever need a friendly hand, know that folks around here will always welcome you. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic046 I shouldn't have trusted you. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic046 You think you can take it? All right, bastard! I'll give you what you deserve! VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic047 Goodbye, stranger. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic047 You're going to leave, just like that? All right, stranger... Thank you for everything. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic048 Yes, I suppose you're right. Please, accept half of our reserve. We'll manage, somehow, as we've always done. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic050 ... I... I was blind to what was happening in my own family. We don't have much, but please take this. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic051 That's right, get out of here! If I see you ever again, I'll pump you full of lead, you hear? VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic052 We do need it, stranger. Still, I wish there was something we could give you in return. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic052 If you see Alice again, please, tell her we won't hold it against her. Tell Alice that we love her. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic053 We've worked day and night, for months, to make that much. Sorry, stranger, it'll have to do. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic053 If you see Alice again, please, tell her we won't hold it against her. Tell Alice that we love her. VDialogueVegasNorthNorthVegasMrsHostetlerTopic056 If you see Alice again, please, tell her we won't hold it against her. Tell Alice that we love her. VDialogueVegasNorthVOVNVAndyThug01Topic000 Oh yeah? What for? VDialogueVegasNorthVOVNVAndyThug01Topic000 Maybe they don't wanna talk to you. Maybe they ain't here anymore. Maybe you ask too many questions, stranger. VDialogueVegasNorthVOVNVAndyThug01Topic000 This is our turf. Don't even try to snoop around or I'll fucking kill your right here, right now. VDialogueVegasNorthVOVNVAndyThug01Topic000 This is our turf. Don't even try to snoop around or I'll fucking kill your right here, right now. VDialogueVegasNorthVOVNVAndyThug01Topic001 So what? I don't give a shit about what you like. Go cry to your mama. VDialogueVegasNorthVOVNVAndyThug01Topic002 Get lost! VDialogueVegasNorthVOVNVAndyThug01Topic003 Maybe they don't wanna talk to you. Maybe they ain't here anymore. Maybe you ask too many questions, stranger. VDialogueVegasNorthVOVNVAndyThug01Topic003 This is our turf. Don't even try to snoop around or I'll fucking kill your right here, right now. VDialogueVegasNorthVOVNVAndyThug01Topic006 What? You've got to be kidding me... Fuck, why do I always gotta fix someone else's crap around here? VDialogueVegasNorthVOVNVAndyThug01Topic014 I'm ready for you... Hey, guys, need a hand here! VDialogueVegasNorthVOVNVJulesTopic000 I mean you've first got to know yourself before you can truly know the gun. VDialogueVegasNorthVOVNVJulesTopic000 So, let's see it, stranger.{As if posing a challenge} Do you know yourself? VDialogueVegasNorthVOVNVJulesTopic000 So, let's see it, stranger. Do you know yourself? VDialogueVegasNorthVOVNVJulesTopic002 [SUCCEEDED] We see eye to eye, we speak warrior to warrior{Pauses to digest his next words}... And I thought myself too old to find an equal, Ha! VDialogueVegasNorthVOVNVJulesTopic002 {Satisfied with his principle}Listen, warrior. There're two kinds of folks. You load your gun like an ordinary man, or you load it like a devil. VDialogueVegasNorthVOVNVJulesTopic002 We ain't ordinary, are we? See, I pack good brass up with slow-burning powder, then cap it with a heavy semiwadcutter bullet. VDialogueVegasNorthVOVNVJulesTopic002 {Happily self-assured}That's how you make .44 ammo that'll put the fear of the heavens on any waster that dare cross your path. VDialogueVegasNorthVOVNVJulesTopic002 [FAILED] You don't get it yet, stranger. I'm not surprised, though. It takes a special type. Come back when you've got what it takes. VDialogueVegasNorthVOVNVJulesTopic020 {Slightly Surprised}You've cleaned that vermin's nest? Gotta say, we don't see that kind of attitude around here. Good work! VDialogueVegasWest1EKlamathBobTopic002 All right, then. Hopefully I've got something to wet your whistle. VDialogueVegasWest1EKlamathBobTopic002 Come talk to me when I'm in my store and I'll be glad to do business with you. VDialogueVegasWest1EKlamathBobTopic012 Heh, yeah good old Klamath. Not a bad place if you like hunting, eating, and skinning geckos all day! Heh heh. VDialogueVegasWest1EKlamathBobTopic012 It's a pretty dull place, but I hear there was a bit of excitement when this tribal from Arroyo came to town years back. All before my time, though. VDialogueVegasWest1EMeanSonofabitchTopic000 Mahsohfabish. VDialogueVegasWest1EMeanSonofabitchTopic001 Ha ha ha! I wash ma bown. Wesibe. VDialogueVegasWest1EMeanSonofabitchTopic001 I have bo go. Fiebs aroub. Goobye! VDialogueVegasWest1EMeanSonofabitchTopic002 Mmm-hm. Goobye! VDialogueVegasWest1EMeanSonofabitchTopic003 Ba peasure is ah mah. Goobye! VDialogueVegasWest1EMeanSonofabitchTopic004 Mmm-hm. [Points to stump of tongue in his mouth.] VDialogueVegasWest1EMeanSonofabitchTopic004 I have bo go bow. Goobye! VDialogueVegasWest1EMeanSonofabitchTopic005 Goobye! VDialogueVegasWest1EWaterSellerTopic000 Until next time! VDialogueVegasWest1EWaterSellerTopic001 Glad to do it. VDialogueVegasWest1EWaterSellerTopic002 The NCR fixed up the pipe network pretty good, and water merchants like me are allowed to have some of it to sell. VDialogueVegasWest1EWaterSellerTopic002 If we have a water license, of course. Still, it beats the inconvenience of having to trek all the way to the lake to resupply. VDialogueVegasWest1EWaterSellerTopic003 There's a few independent ones like me, but it's mostly the big trading outfits that deal in water, like the Crimson Caravan Company. VDialogueVegasWest1EWaterSellerTopic004 They won't just let anybody into the Strip, but you should be able to have a good time in Freeside itself. Just, uh, keep a close eye on your caps. VDialogueVegasWest1EWaterSellerTopic005 They're a bunch of crazies hopped up on all kind of drugs. Apparently, they're using one of the old vaults as a hideout. VDialogueVegasWest1EWaterSellerTopic005 The army should really get in there and wipe 'em all out, but I guess they've got more than enough trouble to deal with right now. VDialogueVegasWest1EWaterSellerTopic006 Their main base is right over there by the old airport - it's called Camp McCarran now. Some people like to paint 'em all as a bunch of bullies. VDialogueVegasWest1EWaterSellerTopic006 Me, I'm glad they're around. They do what they can to keep things safe and orderly. VDialogueVegasWest1EWaterSellerTopic007 Shoot. VDialogueVegasWest1EWaterSellerTopic008 All right. VDialogueVegasWest1EWaterSellerTopic009 The Crimson Caravan Company's the big dog around here. Keep following the road north and you'll eventually come across their camp. VDialogueVegasWest1EWaterSellerTopic010 I'm pretty sure they've got a doc over at Camp McCarran, but I don't know if he'll treat just anybody. VDialogueVegasWest1EWaterSellerTopic011 The caravans or NCR patrols usually don't stop, but we usually get people like yourself wandering on by a few times a week. VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic000 I might have some answers for you. What did you want to know? VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic001 Well, things aren't great here, but I've seen a lot worse. We've got the Fiends to the south of us, and that ain't good. VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic001 The Scorpions hang out at the Monte Carlo when they aren't slinging chems or getting their heads blown off by the Fiends. VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic001 Probably the best thing we've got going on is the co-op, run by Mr. Ettienne. Gets some help from of the Followers of the Apocalypse, I think. VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic002 Not so much lately. The NCR is giving them hell any time they poke their damned heads out. Bless those boys and gals for getting rid of that vermin. VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic002 I feel pity for any man or woman that gets addicted to chems, but when they prey on decent folk... well, then it's time to put 'em down. VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic003 Not much to tell. Typical gang of dumb bullies and angry nobodies. They're holed up a bit south of here, in the Monte Carlo Suites. VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic003 They think they're tough, but any time they tangle with the Fiends, they get torn right up. VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic004 Food from the people and for the people. Anyone can buy, but the profits are shared by the folks who make the produce. VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic004 Locals got these little gardens that do real well. Gosh darn well, truth be told. Ettienne got some help from that Anderson kid, I think. VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic004 Anyway, we don't gotta rely on merchants so much. And it means the troopers can use all the food they make over on the east side. Works out nice. VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic005 Oh, heh. Yeah, that's Mean Sonofabitch. I know the name sounds bad, but he likes it. He's one nasty old coot. VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic005 Far as I can tell, he's one of them original Super Mutants, what came from the Boneyard. Wandered about after that Master" fellow died." VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic005 Eventually got caught somewhere around the Hub, back in NCR. Boy, they sure treated him mean down there. Cut him up so bad he can't talk no more. VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic005 I tried to buy him, just so they'd stop hurting him, but they didn't want any of it. VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic006 I run the liquor store in Westside. With things this rough, some folks need a lot of booze just to step out the door in the morning. VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic006 After I close up shop, I walk around and help keep the peace. Not that I'm good with a gun, mind you, but someone's got to do it, you know? VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic007 Sure. VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic009 What else did you want to chat about? VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic010 He just showed up here one day. Couldn't really talk, but he remembered me all right. VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic010 Ever since then he's just been, well... hanging around, I guess. Does odd jobs for folks and smashes the bad guys when they come poking around. VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic011 Some folks steer clear of him, for sure, but he don't seem to mind. VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic012 Turned out some of them Night Kids" - whatever you call those sneaky Super Mutant types - got in and busted him out." VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic012 I guess somebody named Tabitha" led the bunch that freed him. Don't know much more than that." VDialogueVegasWestKlamathBobTopic014 Okay, then. VDialogueVeronicaAbeBye1 Oh god. He... {sighs}I guess he was lost a long time ago. Even at the end... VDialogueVeronicaAbeBye1 Still... thanks for bringing word. At least, now I know. VDialogueVeronicaAbeExp1 {Drifting, dismissive}Hmm. Unlikely. He was a little too focused on gears and diodes... tech was the cure-all. VDialogueVeronicaAbeMsg1 Would you mind if I looked at the message? VDialogueVeronicaAbeMsg2 Would you mind if I listened to the message? VDialogueVeronicaAbeMsg3 Would you mind if I looked at the message you found? VDialogueVeronicaAbeMsg4 Would you mind if I listened to the message you found? VDialogueVeronicaAbeMsgRefuse {Irritated}Fine. I guess it doesn't matter anyway, keep it. I won't ask again. VDialogueVeronicaAbeSim1 {Waiting for player to step out of simulator}What was on it? What did he say? VDialogueVeronicaAbeSim2 {Sadly accepting}Yeah. Yeah. Thought as much. He'd been fading away for a long time. VDialogueVeronicaAccelerator {Surprise, player found someone she thought was dead}You did? Where? Oh my God, I mean... I thought... I don't even know what I thought might have happened to him. VDialogueVeronicaAccelerator {Wary}But... you don't have a this is good news" expression on your face." VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorChokept {Default Choke Node}...it doesn't matter. He died when we all retreated to Hidden Valley. I didn't expect to see him again, no one did. VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorKill You killed him? {Beat}But... VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg21 Did he say anything when you met him? Anything...{about me, stops herself}anything at all? VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg22 Where did you get this? VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg22 {Wary}Guess I was right about the bad news, huh? Same look Elder McNamara always gave me when I was up for promotion. VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg31 {Given a farewell message}All right, I'll listen to it. VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg32 {Given a farewell message}All right, I'll watch it. VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg33 {Watched a goodbye message, slightly choked up}That was... that was hard to watch. VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg34 {Confused, a little disoriented}The parts I understood? Didn't matter. Past all the garbage, all it amounted to was goodbye. VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg35 {Still a little dizzy}Sorry... feel a little out of it. Head's spinning a bit... VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg35 {Surprise, knowledge downloading}Oh. Oh! VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg35 {Blinking, just gained downloaded defense programs}I think he left me a gift. {Quiet}Maybe I can use it better than he did. VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorTrap Trapped him? Where? VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorTrapChokept {Trapped only}And I don't like saying this, but the Mojave's safer with him... there. VDialogueVeronicaARCHIMEDESIIReact You think that did it? Maybe we should test the rangefinder outside. VDialogueVeronicaARCHIMEDESIITestReact Uh... yeah. I guess it works. VDialogueVeronicaBoSDamReact Oh, God, I don't know if I can do this. VDialogueVeronicaBoSDamReact Hey, the gang's all here! {Then, sincerely}Let's give the Mojave something to remember us by. VDialogueVeronicaBoSDamReact I never thought I'd see you again. I'm glad you're here. VDialogueVeronicaBoSDamReact Hey, the gang's all here! VDialogueVeronicaBoSThreatReact Sorry about that. Just because I love them doesn't mean some of them aren't assholes. VDialogueVeronicaCodexReact Uh... you were kidding just now when you said that thing about the Codex, right? VDialogueVeronicaCraft Step into my office. VDialogueVeronicaDamOutcomeBranch Not sure what my parents would think of me fighting for the NCR. VDialogueVeronicaDamOutcomeBranch But for New Vegas it seemed like this was the best chance at stability. I don't regret it. VDialogueVeronicaDamOutcomeBranch Never sided with a group of marauders before. But I think the Brotherhood stands a better chance against them than they did against the NCR. VDialogueVeronicaDamOutcomeBranch That gives me some hope. VDialogueVeronicaDamOutcomeBranch For some reason, it warms my heart that we fought for the kooky old geezer. Guess he reminds me of someone. VDialogueVeronicaDamOutcomeBranch Independent New Vegas. If that isn't redundant, I don't know what is. VDialogueVeronicaDamOutcomeBranch But I like its chances. VDialogueVeronicaDressAcquire Hey, a dress! Thank you! I'm totally trying this on later. VDialogueVeronicaDressAcquire Aw, you shouldn't have! It's just my taste. Thank you. VDialogueVeronicaEuclidReaction Wow. Good thing the safety was on. VDialogueVeronicaFarmTechReact See? Just because it doesn't shoot lasers doesn't mean it's not worth looking into. We could do amazing things with this data. VDialogueVeronicaGiftShopReact I don't like the sound of this. Hope that collar isn't what I think it is. What did you do, Elijah? VDialogueVeronicaHVEntranceEstranged Hey. I, uh, I can't go in with you. I'll wait here, okay? VDialogueVeronicaPulseGunReact Huh. Figured it'd have more buttons and dials and stuff, you know? Oh, well. It's still the electronic equivalent of a disease from Gomorrah. VDialogueVeronicaQuestReact He's got no resources but a decent cause. We've got plenty of resources and a totally lost cause. VDialogueVeronicaQuestReact No power armor. No energy weapons. And they're giving the NCR more trouble than we ever did. VDialogueVeronicaQuestReact Ordinary guys with knives and bullets, and they're taking over Nevada. VDialogueVeronicaQuestReact There's a lot more troops here than we thought. No wonder we couldn't hold HELIOS One. VDialogueVeronicaQuestReact A bunch of shut-ins who scorn outsiders and hold technology over them. Gee, where have I heard that one before? VDialogueVeronicaQuestReact Can't help but be impressed with what they're doing here. VDialogueVeronicaQuestReact Even the stupid NCR is investing in new research. We're getting left in the dust. VDialogueVeronicaQuestReact Leading his people to a new land with big dreams and a clean slate. Makes me think of my old mentor. VDialogueVeronicaQuestReact Holy hell, that's a lot of energy weapons. Guess we dropped the ball on that one. VDialogueVeronicaQuestReact {DO NOT RECORD - scripting fall-through node.} VDialogueVeronicaULDressAcquire
For me? Do you mean it? No, it's too much! Well, okay. But it's too much! It's perfect. Thank you. Thank you.
VDialogueVeronicaULDressReact Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God! Look what they're wearing! I've only seen dresses like those in my dreams. And even then I couldn't afford them. VDialogueVeronicaULDressReceived
For me? Do you mean it? No, no, it's too much! Well, okay. But it's too much! It's perfect. Thank you. Thank you.
VDialogueVeronicaULDressReceived I... wish I had something to give you. I- wait! What about punching? That's the gift that keeps on giving. VDialogueVeronicaULDressReceived I could work on your punching with you, if you like. Show you how to counter like a Scribe. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic000 Wow, you {emph}have come a long way, then. I've never been there, but I've met some traders who pass that way. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic000 Well, welcome, then. I'm Veronica. I live in a hole in the ground. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic001 Huh. Well, in that case I take it back. You look pretty good, given the circumstances. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic002 Yeah, guess the roads must've been long, then, if you forgot where you started from. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic003 That's why I asked. My business is boring. You try trading and scavenging for a living and see if you don't start nosing into other people's affairs. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic004 Well, a bunker, if you want to get technical. I think it sounds more interesting my way. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic004 But I'm not there much anymore. I'm usually out here picking up food and supplies for my family. Whatever they need. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic005 Yeah. I'm not worried. They can handle themselves. But somebody has to get the groceries, know what I mean? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic005 And actually these days I think they'd rather have me out here anyway. But that's a whole other story. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic005 So, listen, can I ask you something on the level? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic006 I had a run-in with this group calling themselves the Brotherhood of Steel. Pretty strange bunch. Do you know anything about them? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic007 Forget I said anything, then. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic008 Sure. It's a small wasteland. I'm sure we'll run into each other again. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic010 And? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic011 Well that shouldn't be a problem for me. I can't afford anything like that. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic012 Oh my gosh, really? Well, I didn't see where they went, but I'll keep an eye out. Wow, I had no idea they were so dangerous. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic012 Thanks for letting me know. Glad I didn't do any business with them. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic013 Do they? That's a relief. I wasn't so sure, myself. Protecting people from technology seems like a big job for such a small group. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic014 Yeah, it's pretty far out, right? Fixating on old technology just doesn't seem very relevant to most people's lives. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic015 That bad, huh? Guess I'm lucky I got away with my life. I'll make sure and avoid them from now on. Thanks. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic016 That's okay, I wouldn't expect anybody to. I think they tend to keep to themselves. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic017 God, you're not lying, are you? You really did kill them. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic017 In that case, this is for them. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic018 You think? Well good, then. That puts me a little more at ease. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic018 Hey, so where are you headed, anyway? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic019 That seems wise. I think I am, too. Although for how much longer, I'm not sure. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic020 Not very friendly, are they? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic020 Well, thanks for weighing in. Gives me something to think about. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic021 Wow. I've got to admit, you have completely defied my first impression of you. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic021 Eye lasers. I'll be sure and look out for that next time. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic021 Any other juicy bits of intel? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic023 Ooo. Very exciting. Gonna strike it rich, huh? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic024 Huh. Just on your way to do a little heavily fortified sightseeing. Kind of a thrillseeker, aren't you? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic025 Just wherever the wind takes you, huh? I like that. Keeps things interesting. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic026 I'll be honest. You're the first person I've run across out here that looks like he can really handle himself. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic026 I'll be honest. You're the first person I've run across out here that looks like she can really handle herself. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic026 There are places I've never been to that'd be too dangerous for just me. What do you think? Maybe we could travel together, help each other out. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic027 Guess we have that in common, then. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic028 This is quite a journey you're going on, then. Must be an interesting relationship to have brought you all this way. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic029 Heh. Good. That's the look I was going for. Trust me on this one, though. You'll be glad you brought me along. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic029 If I turn out to be a burden, we can part ways at any time. No hard feelings. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic030 Oh, nowhere in particular, really. Just hoping to see more of the world. Looking for a fresh perspective. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic030 I want to see how different groups have adapted to survive in the Mojave. See if there's something I can learn from. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic031 Now you're talking. One thing you should know, first, though. I asked you about the Brotherhood because I'm one of them. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic031 I know, I know. But I had to know how you'd react when I told you. We've made a lot of enemies. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic031 You still okay bringing me along? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic032 Aw, you really know how to make a girl feel like a stray cat. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic032 But okay. My offer stands, if we run into each other again. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic033 Suit yourself. You can always change your mind. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic034 Like I said, they can handle themselves. And I'm not the only one getting supplies for them. It's a big family. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic035 Good. I hoped you'd come around. Shall we? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic037 I'm great at punching people. I'm not gonna lie. It's a gift. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic037 Well, thanks for taking a chance on a naive young girl from California with stars in her eyes and a pneumatic gauntlet on her hand. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic037 Let's hit the road, huh? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic038 Sure. Just don't ever ask me if your outfit makes you look fat. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic039 Fair enough. Maybe one day I'll have your complete trust, and I can be on a long leash. A girl can dream. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic041 The Brotherhood is failing. {Beat}I've always known that. If we don't change course, we're going to fall apart or... fade away. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic041 But until recently I haven't understood where we went wrong, or how to fix it. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic041 I think I need to go home. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic042 I like long walks in the desert and candle-lit metal workshops. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic042 My favorite subject. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic043 A lifetime supply of Fancy Lads Snack Cakes, revenge against my enemies, and world peace. In that order. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic043 {Defensive}I was young and I needed the money. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic043 It's a free wasteland. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic043 He was dead when I got there. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic043 This better not be about the meaning of life. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic043 Well, when two people really love each other... you really don't know this stuff yet? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic043 Ooo, do I get a prize if I answer right? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic043 I was told we wouldn't be tested on this. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic044 Yeah. They say he built the Strip. Of course, they say a lot of things. No one's actually met him. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic044 Me? I think it's a hoax. Probably a group of people who want to avoid attention, or some made-up persona of a self-aware computer. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic044 Why else would he shut himself in like that? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic045 Yeah. It's not for poker. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic045 I've never seen anything quite like it, but I can tell you it looks like it was fabricated before the War, and not at a mint. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic045 Some kind of tech... I'm gonna say... mid-2200s. Hold onto it. Might be your lucky chip. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic046 Sure, he's one of the hotel managers on the Strip. He comes up in the news now and then. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic046 Him and the other Chairmen run the Tops. It's one of the nicer hotels, or so I hear. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic046 Elder McNamara wouldn't shell out for a passport for me, so I've actually never been to the Strip. Why do people get so cheap when they get old? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic047 Yep. It's your typical city layout. Rich people in a gated community surrounded by extreme poverty. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic047 House gave the area around the Strip to the locals, but he has no interest in it, so he ignores it entirely. It just needs new management. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic047 I'd love to see the Brotherhood do it, but since the Codex doesn't say clean up Freeside" no one listens to me. Bunch of sticklers." VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic048 I'm worried they'll be the death of the Brotherhood. They take what they want. We defend our interests to the death. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic048 But there's a handful of us and tens or hundreds of thousands of them. So it's not going to end well. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic048 Last time we clashed we lost a lot of people. Retreated to our bunker. Now we're afraid to even move around during the day. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic049 Silliest dressed band of raping, slaving marauders you'll see east of California, I'll say that. Where's that touch of Old World class? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic049 Although I hear the soldiers mount each other as much as they mount their women, so maybe they did keep a little something from the Empire. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic049 No such privilege for the women, though. Figures. So... to answer your question... they're a bunch of hypocritical jerkwads. {beat}It's a word. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic050 Darn it, I had some spectacular answers coming, too. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic051 Let's. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic052 Okay. Well, when you do, let me know, all right? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic054 Great. Thanks. Thank you. I'll encourage people to name their non-ugly children after you. Seriously. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic055 Sure, yeah. Just not too long, okay? I worry about them sometimes. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic056 Wow, don't everybody volunteer all at once now. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic056 I {emph}could do that. You're not interested in coming along? Hate to break up the band over a silly little thing like the future of everyone I care about. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic057 This from the girl who walked from I-15 to the Colorado River looking for her lost package. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic057 This from the guy who walked from I-15 to the Colorado River looking for his lost package. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic057 I hope you change your mind. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic060 Not much for family gatherings, huh? All right, have it your way. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic060 You ever want to look me up again, I'll be in my bunker in Hidden Valley. That's the {emph}luxury bunker. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic061 I'm not giving up. He wants evidence, but he'll never go looking for it. He's scared I'm right. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic061 He'll never listen unless I hold the proof right in front of his face. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic062 He's a stubborn old man, but when it comes down to it, he's got our best interests at heart. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic062 If he sees some indisputable sign we're on the wrong course, he won't ignore it. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic063 I don't know. I don't know. We'd need something that shows the Brotherhood will fail. Or that it can do better a different way. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic063 The only thing that'd get his attention is technology. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic063 Huh. Maybe Father Elijah had the right idea. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic064 That's my question to the Elder. All these years, the Brotherhood has collected weapons technology. And for what? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic064 To keep it out of people's hands? That clearly hasn't worked. To defend ourselves? We can't compete with the NCR's numbers. Or the Legion's. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic064 We're fighting a war for a lost cause. If we're going to survive, we have to find a role in society. Attract new members. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic065 Look at the Followers of the Apocalypse. They use their expertise to improve people's lives. They train them to be self-sufficient. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic065 That expertise cultivates respect and gratitude. Spreads their ideals. Draws talent to their cause. They make friends like we make enemies. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic065 But they don't know a fraction of what we know. If we took on their role, we could stand up to anyone. We wouldn't have to hide. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic066 Our Elder before McNamara. He had a nose for recovering lost technology. He'd send Scribes out into the desert chasing whatever leads he found. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic066 There were a few he only trusted me with. I can think of at least one that'd prove my point, if it still exists. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic066 There's a comm terminal not too far from here I'd use to access messages from him. If we go there I can pull up his research on it. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic067 It's a targeting device for some kind of doomsday weapon based at HELIOS One. It was lost sometime after the War. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic067 We held HELIOS One for a time. Lost a lot of people defending it. Too many. All for this weapon they never got working. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic067 If it turns out to be a dud, it'd show how flawed our goals have been. Father Elijah said he thinks a scavenger might have sold it on the Strip. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic068 I'm with you. Being around here isn't the same anymore. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic069 No, but it does make it easier to forgive him. He's just misguided. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic069 It's not too late to change his mind. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic070 Have {emph}you considered that he might be senile? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic070 The Brotherhood's strategy for survival worked back when we had a larger force, and no organized enemies. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic070 We're a tiny splinter from a shrinking group. We don't take on new members. But we're still picking fights with the big boys. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic071 Electromagnetic weapon from before the Great War. Experimental. It never saw mass production. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic071 But they were building it as a countermeasure to power armor, which they feared the Chinese were developing. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic071 Supposedly a prototype was being housed at Nellis. Imagine what it could do to the Brotherhood. We'd be on equal footing with any idiot with a gun. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic072 More or less. Supposedly it's a vegetation enhancer. NCR has a science branch headquartered at McCarran airport. Guess they found something. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic072 Guess somebody wasn't very good at keeping secrets, either. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic072 We'd never pursue it because it's not a weapon. But self-sufficiency is fundamental to us. If it works they'd see the value of an alternate course. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic073 Yeah, maybe they'll think twice about engaging the NCR if they know one of those could be floating around. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic073 The notes say to look around Nellis Air Force Base. He suggests going through filing cabinets and computers in the commanding officer's quarters. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic074 They defended HELIOS like it was their last stand. Didn't even know if there was anything worth defending. How could there be, with all we lost? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic074 Even if it did work, it'd be under NCR control now. So it'd either prove our goals are wrong or we're incapable of pursuing them. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic074 There's a pawn shop in Outer Vegas we could check. And I've heard of a gift shop in the Strip that deals in Pre-War antiques. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic075 Okay. What better way to persuade them than to give them a taste of what they stand to gain, right? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic075 Maybe the best place to start is to see what we can find out directly from the NCR. Let's head to their OSI office at McCarran. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic079 I like the way you think. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic080 I see that now. I thought I knew him better than that. But it was like talking to a stranger. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic081 No. Our case wouldn't be any stronger if tomorrow they all died when their energy weapons backfired. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic081 I just didn't expect that. There was no getting through to him. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic082 Well I {emph}knew he wouldn't listen to {slight emph}me. That's why we went out of our way to find something that he couldn't ignore. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic082 But it didn't make any difference. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic082 How can I help them when they won't accept it? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic083 Ah, hell. Well, how could you know, right? Okay. Two other options still on the table. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic084 It pays like ass, but it's hard to get other work with my skill set. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic084 What do you want to know? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic085 It wouldn't matter. The Elder has final say. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic085 The hell of it is he's one of our most progressive members. If I can't get him to agree, it's hopeless. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic085 He won't tolerate any resistance. If he catches wind I've been talking to people, he'll charge me with sedition. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic086 I... {beat}I don't know if I can stay. Maybe it'd be better for everyone if I left. Spent my life... somewhere else. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic086 Work with the Followers of the Apocalypse, maybe. Put my knowledge to some good use. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic086 Or I can stay here with the people I care about and do... whatever I can, until it comes to a slow or sudden end. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic087 Ha! Well that's... imaginative. But it's not really for me. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic087 I couldn't get one of their most reasonable members to accept a rational argument. I don't see them coming out in droves to support my coup. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic087 And that's really not what the Brotherhood needs right now anyway. They're hanging by a thread. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic088 Ha! Good question. These days it's hard to say. Once upon a time it was about technology. Controlling it so it couldn't destroy us again. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic088 Energy weapons and power armor are usually tops on our list, although {emph}I appreciate anything that's vintage. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic088 But that all seems so limited now. We haven't grown or adapted. And now we're stuck in a hole, not carrying out our mission. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic089 They may be a bunch of wooden conformists, but anything I did without them would feel... empty. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic089 I'd always be reminded of this day. How I wasn't strong enough to stand by them. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic089 So I guess I'll stay. Won't be easy, but at least I won't feel guilty about the choice. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic089 Let's get going. I'd like to get my mind off all this. And some fresh air would do me some good right about now. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic090 There's no getting around that, is there? What would my life be like here, knowing what's to come? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic090 They're not going to like this. We're given a chance when we're young to choose whether to stay. If we do, it's supposed to be for life. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic090 But they haven't left me any choice. It's this or a lifetime of scavenging and watching my friends die in losing battles. {beat}I guess it's settled, then. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic091 Not even a hint, huh? Geez, I really am all alone on this one. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic091 I guess I'll stay. If I left there wouldn't be any coming back. It might be something I'd instantly regret. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic091 Things are going to get harder for the Brotherhood before they get easier. I should support them in whatever way I can. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic092 More sexual favors than I can even count. I am still tired from it. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic092 No, actually, you're born into it. My parents, their parents, so on. When you're young you can choose to leave. But it's home, so most people don't. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic092 We don't take on new members, really. You can do the math on our long-term prospects based on that point. I keep hoping we'll change that. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic093 I'm a procurement specialist. Like I said, it's basically grocery shopping. Except sometimes the groceries are scavenged parts and arcane technology. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic093 The elder who brought us to the Mojave, Father Elijah, usually had me looking for these old memory units. But he'd never tell me what they were for. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic093 Nowadays I'm usually sent to do business with traders at places like the 188. But sometimes I think it's just to keep me out of everyone's hair. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic094 I know sometimes I sound like I don't. I know. But there's something that still rings true to me about our code. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic094 There's an honor to it. We're protecting people. Even if it's from themselves, it's a good cause. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic094 We just lose sight of the big picture sometimes. Treat all our practices with the same sacredness. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic095 Ah, the Codex. If it's in there, we have to abide it, if it's not, it's not important. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic095 It documents our history, too. Part of what Scribes like me do is update it. Hmm... I wonder... VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic095 Nah, they'd probably catch it if I rewrote the Founder's axioms. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic096 No, no. We only protect people from {emph}themselves, and only in the sense that we don't let them have the really good Pre-War toys. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic096 And sometimes it's more like we protect {emph}ourselves from {emph}them and hope to outlive them and become humanity's sole heirs. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic096 We've had people go rogue, though, and start helping people. One chapter had a small civil war over it. We take our isolationism seriously. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic097 I called them family before. That's not far off. Both the good and the bad. It's like a big unending family reunion in that bunker. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic097 There's people you love, people you'll never speak to again, and it's always awkward when you run into someone you used to date. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic098 He was our Elder when we came East. A wizard with technology, really. His mind just worked that way naturally. Learned a lot from him. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic098 But he started having disagreements with the other Elders. The Brotherhood's interest is in old technology. He wanted to explore developing new tech. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic098 And there were other ways he wanted to push. Other weapons. Ones with ethics questions attached. Rather than deal with him, they sent him East. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic099 I like punching things, but sometimes shooting things just has to do. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic100 {Go ahead and ask."}Shoot." VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic101 What are your thoughts? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic102 Okay, I won't! VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic103 Yeah, but only if you've got bodies to fill the suits. We don't take on new members. We're all descendents from the original Brotherhood. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic103 Something's going to have to change, or the empty suits are gonna be all that's left of us. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic104 I think you're right. We're getting desperate. Hardly enough people to sustain ourselves as a chapter. They'll see the light, sooner or later. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic104 But I get the feeling if I don't take matters into my own hands, the change won't come in time to make a difference. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic105 Wow, you sound like Elder McNamara. I {slight emph}know I should. Hell, it's what I signed up for when I chose to stay into adulthood. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic105 I know there's something worth saving in there. But we're in decline. Our membership is... decimated. There's got to be something we can do. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic106 I know the odds aren't good, but I've gotta try. I can't lose them. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic107 I don't know. I'm still thinking about what kind of role we could take on that would give us the best chance of survival. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic107 But I think things are starting to come together. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic108 Sure, but how long before the NCR or Caesar's Legion track us down and take it by force anyway? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic108 But if we recruited Knights from outside the group, maybe we could actually defend it. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic109 Yeah. I've got the rest of my life to help them out. I can spare a little while to see things through with you. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic109 {Smiling}Sure. I want to establish a connection with the Followers first, but as far as I know, drifting is part of the job description. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic110 No, I think it is. I have to be resolved about this. If I waver, it'll just make things harder. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic110 They need me and I'm not going to abandon them. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic111 I think so. Two things the Brotherhood has a lot of - hardheads and lasers. Wouldn't be the first time a disagreement ended like this. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic111 Plus... we killed all the witnesses. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic112 {Somber}Good idea. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic112 I think that'd be best. There's a Followers outpost up near one of my old scavenging grounds. Used to do some trading with a doctor there. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic112 If I work out of there, I'll still be able to keep tabs on Hidden Valley if I needed to. I know that route like the back of my hand. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic112 If it's all right, I'd like to head that way. Meet some people, see if I can be of any use. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic113 Yeah. I think if I stayed I'd end up causing trouble. Sometimes I just can't help myself. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic113 This way is better for me and for them. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic114 Well, I shouldn't have come within a mile of here. I know that. {Beat}These poor people. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic114 Seems like either way, there's not much I can do to help anyone. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic114 I think maybe it's safer if I don't try. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic115 {Not taking comfort}No... I don't, do I? If I did, none of this would've happened. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic115 I should've left a long time ago. Cut my losses before it came to this. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic115 I never stood a chance. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic116 {Sad, peeved}Isn't that what I just said? I know I'm responsible. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic116 I was just trying to put it all behind me. Find someplace where what I do would actually have some influence. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic116 I should've expected this, though. Different story, same ending. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic117 No. Not a chance in hell. I'm not risking this happening again. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic117 I'm gonna have to keep to myself. Better that way. For everyone. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic117 I'll still finish what I started with you, though. If you're not afraid, that is. I'll just try not to get too caught up in it all. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic118 Okay, so take the Brotherhood. Replace their knowledge of superweapons with half as much knowledge of medicine and farming. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic118 Sprinkle in a little compassion for people outside their group and healthy disrespect for authority, and voila. Followers. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic118 I never really considered joining before. But now that I think about it, it really sounds like it could be a good fit, doesn't it? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic119 I want... a dress. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic120 I would say he was my tutor, but that doesn't cover it. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic120 After my parents passed, he looked after me. The whole Brotherhood brought me up, really, but he made sure of it. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic120 I never had a grandfather - not that I knew, anyway - but Elijah was in some ways what I'd imagine a grandfather to be. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic121 Just my parents, but they haven't been around for a long time. Dad was a Paladin, Mom was a Scribe. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic121 They died in the same battle trying to hold off the NCR from... something. I don't remember what it was. Guess it seemed important at the time. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic122 If you take trying to keep me as far away from Hidden Valley as possible because I ask too many difficult questions as a sign of respect, {absolutely"}oh yeah." VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic122 That's not to say I don't get along with them. I just think they don't know what to do with me sometimes. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic123 Yeah! A good one. Something elegant and classy, you know? But still stylish. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic123 Something that's eye-catching and sexy, but also says don't fuck with me."" VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic123 I keep hoping I'll come across some Old World designer gown when I'm scavenging, but it never happens. Maybe I should move back to California. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic124 Can I make it up? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic124 Like what? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic125 Hey, you try getting a date wearing Scribe robes. Might as well be wearing sweatpants. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic125 I just like 'em, you know? They make you feel like a woman. Those ladies before the War, they knew what they were doing. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic126 I don't know. Last time anyone saw him was in the battle at HELIOS One. I wasn't there. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic126 He gave orders to hold the plant until it could be reactivated. But he ran out of time. The NCR overran it. Everyone thought he was dead. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic126 But I got a note from him at a comm station. That's... how he liked to talk, even to me. He wasn't good at face-to-face. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic127 Yeah. I miss him. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic128 Elijah could look at an old device and immediately understand what made it work. And he could see its potential. Where it fit with other technology. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic128 It's not something you can teach, but he tried with me. {Shrugging}Some of it stuck. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic128 But that's what he taught me. You asked what I {emph}learned from him. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic129 {Elongate the 'o'}Okay. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic130 I learned what I don't want to become. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic130 In the end, there was just him and his vision. Nothing and no one else. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic131 It was... strange. Even for Father Elijah. He's always been unstable, but this was... something else. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic131 I don't want to say delusional, but I don't know what else to call it. The only thing familiar about it was the signature. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic131 He said the Brotherhood was doomed, but that he'd return, save us. But the {emph}way he said it... I don't know... VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic131 {Skeptical, but ominous}Said he'd return with one of the greatest treasures of the Old World, make the Mojave like it was meant to be... wipe the slate clean. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic132 It was by his request, actually. He cleared it with the other Elders. {To herself}Somehow. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic132 They sent him to look into the Dam. There was a time when I'd have begged to follow. Watch him at work. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic133 {Emph}He did. For years, he fought with the Council. Taught me to question our direction. Meanwhile he'd become more out-of-touch than all of them. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic133 On our way East he demanded we stop at HELIOS One to examine it. While we were there, we received word that the NCR had taken the Dam. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic133 He was furious. Called it children playing with a bomb." But he was mad because we'd lost its power. What we'd use it for... he didn't even care." VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic134 {Sadly}Yeah, I did. I couldn't help him. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic134 {Slight frustration}He just didn't listen. And the idea that people talked {emp}back to him... VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic134 {Sighs}If he could have made the Brotherhood act like machines, ordering them around with a push of a button, he would have. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic135 They're cautious. When they discover something, they respect it, learn its limits, consider how to preserve it. Used to drive Father Elijah crazy. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic135 He liked to learn limits, too, but only so he could push them. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic135 That's not to excuse the other Elders, though. They all covet technology for its own sake. Some are just more fanatical than others. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic136 It was the Dam, really. We'd heard rumors it was working. Figured we could claim it, put it to use. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic136 {Putting it delicately}And... it may also have been partly that our Elder at the time had worn out his welcome. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic136 Didn't end up mattering. We got sidetracked at HELIOS One and the NCR took the Dam in the meantime. We're still after it, though. In theory. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic137 {Playful}Ever been nosy? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic137 {Sincere}I was, once. We were pretty young, but I like to think it was love. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic138 She left the Brotherhood. Wanted to put some distance between herself and her parents. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic138 Since our membership isn't open to outsiders, some members think that obligates all of us to procreate. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic138 You can guess which camp her parents belonged to. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic139 No. Couldn't bring myself to leave everyone else behind. Couldn't convince her to stay, either. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic139 I'd hoped love would be enough to influence her decision, but it wasn't. We were both too stubborn. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic139 I don't know where she is now, but I'm sure she's moved on. I still think about her, though. Once in a while. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic140 Ooo. Got any juicy gossip? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic140 {Pleasant}Sure. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic141 All right, put 'em up. Let's see what you got. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic142 You sure? Some other time, then. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic143 Yeah. I've been taking things apart and putting them back together since before I said my first word. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic143 You want to build something, talk to me, and we can do it right there on the spot. Workbenches are for novices. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic143 Who knows, I might even be able to show you a Brotherhood trick or two. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic144 Nowhere specific. I just know there are a lot of groups who're actually doing well for themselves out here. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic144 I want to understand how and why. See them at work. VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic145 Don't take too long, all right? VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic146 Thanks. Wasn't wild about sticking around here on my own. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic000 We don't take kindly to tourists on our turf. You're gonna need to pay a fine if you want to leave in one piece. 100 caps should cover it. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic001 Thanks. We're leaving now, we don't want no more trouble. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic002 Alright, since you look new and didn't know better, we'll cut you some slack. 50 caps. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic003 That's alright, we'll take what we can from your body before the law shows up. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic004 Thanks, Let's get out of here boys. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic005 You won't live to regret those words! VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic017 Heh, you've got moxy, buddy, but we don't take kindly to tourists on our turf. 100 caps should cover this trip into our territory. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic021 I like to think that we are Prisoners Of War that managed to escape before capture. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic021 I don't know how long it'll be before the Legion crosses the river, but sure as fuck I don't want to be wearing a NCR inform when they get here. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic023 We figured we'd make some money in New Vegas and then beat feet. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic023 Then we'd head north or something and take our caps to start up a ranch or something. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic024 Perhaps, but you won't be the one to collect! VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic025 Our luck has gone south since we lost all of our money gambling in Vegas. We didn't go AWOL from duty to become raiders. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic025 But we've seen what the Legion does to people that survive their battles. We wanted to be gone before the fighting starts. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic025 And we heard there may be some safety up in New Canaan. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic026 Looks like we've got a wannabe hero on our hands, boys. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic027 No fucking way. We're deserters now, the NCR isn't going to throw us a ticker-tape parade for going home. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic028 I'm getting tired of your chatter. Hand over 100 caps, or we start using you for target practice. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic029 [SUCCEEDED] Fuck, we lose again. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic029 We heard Primm was ripe for the picking, so figured we could come here and shakedown some of the suckers. We weren't expecting a sheriff here. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic029 We're just trying to put as many miles from NCR as we can, we don't want to be anywhere near New Vegas when the Legion crosses the river. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic029 [FAILED] I seriously doubt that. You've got about as much personality as a baked potato. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic029 I'm getting tired of your chatter. Hand over the caps, or we start using you for target practice. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic031 So be it. Perhaps your corpse will be better at coughing up the caps... VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic033 No biggie there. We've been avoiding the patrols and staying low key until this mess. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic037 Maybe you're right. Come on, boys, lets get the hell out of here before the law shows up. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic039 And it'll be the last thing you hear! VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic040 Yeah, if we see the NCR, they'll be waiting for us with a bullet to the brain pan. VDialogueVickyVanceVickyVanceExNCR1Topic040 So what are we supposed to do, just run? vDialogueWestside1EAngeloTopic000 Antique rangefinder? I'm trying to think of something that'd be more worthless. vDialogueWestside1EAngeloTopic000 Maybe an antique horoscope. Or an antique sandwich. vDialogueWestside1EAngeloTopic000 I'll tell you something. Good luck finding that thing. But if you do find it, don't waste your time trying to sell it to me. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic000 It might not look like much, but it's what keeps us Westside locals independent. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic000 We started it a few years ago. I admit, we had a lot of trouble at first, but eventually we got some help from Tom Anderson with the Followers. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic000 We're finally to the point where the co-op members can start making money from sales instead of just breaking even. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic001 All right. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic002 See you later. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic003 Oh... that. Yes. Anderson filled me in on the details. Just let me know when you'd like your... order to be filled. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic004 {sighing}Yes, it just came in. Here's all of it. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic004 I'm sorry, but your order won't be in for a while. Please come back in a day or two. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic005 Well, I've lived in Nevada all my life. Started out in New Reno, but headed down here as soon as I got the chance. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic005 If you can believe it, things are even worse back home. The whole city's still run by crime families. Used to be the Mordinos and Wrights. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic005 Now it's the Wrights and Van Graffs. Seems like things never get better. Anyway, that's all behind me now. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic006 Uh... okay, look... first, I didn't have anything to do with that trooper. That was all Anderson. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic006 Second, even though the whole scheme was Anderson's idea, it's the only way the co-op could stay in business. The water means everything. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic007 It was Hector's idea, if you can believe it. He overheard me talking to Anderson about his idea to divert the water over here. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic007 We needed someone to be able to go into the cisterns and get the water out, but any of us would be suspicious. Hector volunteered. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic007 He said that no one pays attention to him, even with his brahmin. Anderson and I argued, but eventually we decided to let him go ahead with it. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic007 Look, this affects all of us, even Hector. What were we supposed to do, let all of our gardens die? Watch Westside fall apart? vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic008 Pretty much what you'd expect. White talked to Hector and then went to talk to Anderson. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic008 White made the mistake of assuming that because Anderson's a Follower of the Apocalypse, he wouldn't try anything. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic008 Anderson acted docile, but as soon as White turned to go, Anderson shot him in the back. At least that's what Anderson told me. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic009 Wait... what are you going to do? vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic010 You're the one who should be worried. Good luck. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic011 Please, just... don't let them shut down the co-op. vDialogueWestside1EEttienneTopic012 Fuck! vDialogueWestsideWestsideHectorTopic000 Bye. vDialogueWestsideWestsideHectorTopic001 I deliver things and stuff for the people here. They give me caps to do it. vDialogueWestsideWestsideHectorTopic002 {nervous, hiding a secret}Corporal White? I don't know where he - {obviously changing his lie mid-sentence}uh, I mean, never heard of him. Uh, I gotta go... vDialogueWestsideWestsideHectorTopic006 Uh... it's for the co-ops. Mr. Anderson told me to do it - he said it wasn't stealing if it's for the good of everybody. vDialogueWestsideWestsideHectorTopic008 He caught me and made me tell on Mr. Anderson. I don't know what happened after that, but when I asked, Mr. Anderson said not to worry. vDialogueWestsideWestsideHectorTopic008 But... Mr. Anderson had this look on his face. It's the look grownups get when they've done something bad. vDialogueWestsideWestsideHectorTopic011 [SUCCEEDED] I didn't want to get Mr. Anderson in trouble. He says the Westside needs to be able to take care of itself. vDialogueWestsideWestsideHectorTopic011 Corporal White caught me taking the water and made me tell on Mr. Anderson. I think something bad happened, but Mr. Anderson told me not to worry. vDialogueWestsideWestsideHectorTopic011 [FAILED] I said I don't know anything. Leave me alone! vDialogueWestsideWestsideHectorTopic013 I didn't want to get Mr. Anderson in trouble. He says the Westside needs to be able to take care of itself. vDialogueWestsideWestsideHectorTopic013 Corporal White caught me taking the water and made me tell on Mr. Anderson. I think something bad happened, but Mr. Anderson told me not to worry. vDialogueWestsideWestsideHectorTopic014 No. I gotta go. vDialogueWestsideWestsideMiguelTopic000 My grandfather opened up this shop. Took over from him when the Fiends killed him. vDialogueYesManSecuritronUpgrade Step closer to the demonstration area, please! vDialogueYesManSecuritronUpgrade Okay, so you're familiar with Securitrons by now, obviously! I mean, some of your best friends are Securitrons, right?{chuckle} vDialogueYesManSecuritronUpgrade Our titanium alloy housing does a good job of protecting our delicate electronic insides from small arms fire and shrapnel! vDialogueYesManSecuritronUpgrade Our left arm contains an X-25 gatling laser, quite deadly against soft targets at medium range. That looks like fun! vDialogueYesManSecuritronUpgrade And for close-range suppression and crowd control, we have this handy-dandy 9mm submachinegun! Nice! vDialogueYesManSecuritronUpgrade All of this is old hat, right? vDialogueYesManSecuritronUpgrade Here's where it gets interesting! Turns out those are our {emph}secondary weapons! vDialogueYesManSecuritronUpgrade All this time we've been running the {emph}Mark I operating system, which doesn't have drivers for our primary weapons! Imagine! vDialogueYesManSecuritronUpgrade Now watch this - I'm downloading the Mark II OS to all the Securitrons on the network. Makes quite a difference! vDialogueYesManSecuritronUpgrade With the M-235 Missile Launcher, we can engage ground and air targets at long range! vDialogueYesManSecuritronUpgrade And a rapid-fire G-28 grenade launching system makes us deadly in close-range engagements! Whoo, look at that! vDialogueYesManSecuritronUpgrade The OS upgrade also includes drivers for our onboard auto-repair systems! Just try to hurt us now! vDialogueYesManSecuritronUpgrade All together, this {emph}software upgrade confers a 235% increase in combat effectiveness - per unit! vDialogueYesManSecuritronUpgrade New Vegas finally has soldiers worthy of protecting it! vDialogueYesManSecuritronUpgrade I hope you enjoyed this demonstration! You can come back up and see me or be on your way - I know you're a busy person! vDialogueYesManVMQTopsYesManTopic015 Okay! Anything else? VDiaTheStripSS4MPACurse01 {Upset, staring at a graffiti painted wall}This shit is not going to come off, I'm telling you. VDiaTheStripSS4MPACurse02 {Upset, staring at a grafitti painted wall}I can deal with them dancing in the fountain, I can deal with them running a Brahmin down The Strip. VDiaTheStripSS4MPACurse02 Hell, I can even deal with the puke in the latrines. But I can't stand the smell of turpentine, fuck that! VDiaTheStripSS4MPAFuckThis {Snaps back at his pal}You know what? It's all yours, then. Fuck this shit! I'm done. VDiaTheStripSS4MPBCurse01 {Resigned, and bothered with his pal's complaints}Shut up, and get to it. You rather be elsewhere? I can arrange a trip to the sewers - you'll love the smell. VDiaTheStripSS4MPBCurse02 {Resigned, and bothered with his pal's complaints}Hey, talk to Pappas if you've got complaints. I'm just want to be done with this shit. VDiaTheStripSS4MPBFuckThis {Disoriented, pal just left him to scrub alone}Hey... Hey! Where the hell are you going?{Small pause, looks at pal leave}Well, fuck you, then! VEFR02NCRBad2MostWantedVEFR02NCRThugLeaderCFTopic000 You got yourself a bad reputation with us - that's what. VEFR02NCRBad2MostWantedVEFR02NCRThugLeaderCFTopic002 You've got three days to improve your reputation with the NCR or we come for you... without all of this pleasant conversation.

VEndingArcade {narration}Arcade had hoped that Freeside would be able to remain independent of NCR rule, but he was glad that Caesar's Legion had been stopped at Hoover Dam. VEndingArcade {narration}He tended to the sick in Freeside for a while longer, then returned to NCR territory to become a teacher with the Followers there. VEndingArcade {narration}Though Arcade was crushed by the Legion's victory at Hoover Dam, he was not among NCR's casualties. VEndingArcade {narration}During the NCR's retreat from the Mojave Wasteland, he helped defend NCR citizens and refugees on their way to Mojave Outpost. VEndingArcade {narration}Unfortunately, NCR rangers identified his father's armor as Enclave property. He was arrested, tried as a war criminal, and imprisoned indefinitely. VEndingArcade {Narration}When news reached Freeside that Legion forces were approaching New Vegas, Arcade did his best to help people escape with adequate supplies. VEndingArcade {Narration}A Legion explorer saw Arcade helping locals escape and pointed him out to a Centurion. VEndingArcade {Narration}Arcade's group was run down somewhere near Westside. There were no survivors. VEndingArcade {narration}Arcade was outraged by Mr. House's power play following the defeat of Caesar's Legion at Hoover Dam. VEndingArcade {narration}Though he remained in Freeside for a short time after the Securitrons established widespread control, he eventually traveled back into NCR territory. VEndingArcade {narration}Disillusioned with the Followers of the Apocalypse, he settled down in the outskirts of the Boneyard, where he worked happily as a family doctor. VEndingArcade {narration}Arcade was proud to have been one of the defenders who helped repel the Legion from Hoover Dam. VEndingArcade {narration}He was prouder still to see the area freed from the shackles of the NCR and Mr. House. VEndingArcade {narration}Though independence for New Vegas was not all he hoped it could be, Arcade used his Enclave knowledge and technology to keep order wherever he could. VEndingArcade {narration}Arcade was tending to the locals of Freeside when he learned that Caesar's Legion had been defeated and NCR was being pushed out of New Vegas. VEndingArcade {narration}Though he found that independence for New Vegas was not all he hoped it would be, Arcade did his best to help the locals govern themselves. VEndingArcade {narration}Though Arcade was proud to have been one of the defenders who turned back the Legion at Hoover Dam, he was crushed by Mr. House's ascent to power. VEndingArcade {narration}Saddened by the loss of life and liberty in the area, Arcade left the Mojave Wasteland for parts unknown. He was never heard from again. VEndingArcade {Narration}Though Arcade's intentions were pure and his goals were noble, he ultimately succumbed to the harsh brutality of the Mojave like so many before him. VEndingArcade {Narration}Tricked by the Courier and imprisoned by the Legion, Arcade remained Caesar's personal physician for several years. VEndingArcade {narration}Caesar grew fond of speaking with such an educated man on philosophical matters. Arcade became his unwilling intellectual sparring partner. VEndingArcade {Narration}After years of such servitude, during an unguarded moment, Arcade used a surgical scalpel and his bare hands to disembowel himself. VEndingArcade {Narration}Lacking any other skilled medical personnel, the Legion was unable to prevent his death. Caesar mourned his loss for months. VEndingArcade {Narration}Though the Legion was victorious at Hoover Dam, the Legate did not have the same medical needs as Caesar. VEndingArcade {Narration}{lah-NEE-oos}Lanius quickly tired of Arcade's acerbic wit and had the doctor crucified. VEndingArcade {narration}During the retreat of Caesar's Legion from the Mojave Wasteland, Arcade was a sad casualty, one of many. VEndingArcade {narration}His body was heaped with those of many others in a nameless ravine on the Legion's long march home. VEndingArcade {narration}Though Arcade had not hoped for an NCR victory, he was proud of his role in the defense of Hoover Dam against the forces of Caesar's Legion. VEndingArcade {narration}Unfortunately, when word spread that Arcade was once a member of the Enclave, he was forced out of the Followers of the Apocalypse. VEndingArcade {Narration}Pursued by bounty hunters, NCR rangers, and the Brotherhood of Steel, Arcade pushed deep into the eastern plains and was never heard from again. VEndingBlackMountain {Narrating}Though some Super Mutants and Nightkin continued to journey to the legendary Utobitha, they found little trace of its existence. VEndingBlackMountain Some eventually found their way to Jacobstown, but many wandered off into the wastes, confused and disheartened. VEndingBlackMountain {Narrating}Tabitha and Rhonda went east, through Caesar's land. Occasionally tales of their exploits found their way back west, though few believed them. VEndingBlackMountain Eventually the stories concerning the duo were collected and published, and proved to be quite popular with children. VEndingBlackMountain {Narrating}Black Mountain Radio continued to broadcast its peculiar form of propaganda. Raul Tejada faced his execution each day, though pardoned in the end. VEndingBlackMountain Travelers venturing too near Black Mountain continue to be harassed by Tabitha's followers. VEndingBlackMountain {Narrating}Tabitha, enraged by Raul's escape, took the remaining Nightkin of Black Mountain with her and vanished without a trace. VEndingBlackMountain Travelers in the region soon learned to avoid the roads at night, as caravans were repeatedly attacked by unseen assailants. VEndingBoomers {Narrating}Without organized leadership, the remaining Boomers slowly drifted away, leaving Nellis Air Force Base to be flooded by prospectors and scavengers. VEndingBoomers All of the Boomers' accumulated knowledge quickly scattered, and their existence slowly faded from memory. VEndingBoomers {Narrating}After the battle of Hoover Dam, the NCR mounted several campaigns against the Boomers, but all were quickly ended by the Boomers' artillery. VEndingBoomers {Narrating}Over time, as the Boomers found a need for gun powder, they developed a relationship with the Gun Runners, trading their surplus crops for munitions. VEndingBoomers {Narrating}Mr. House showed little interest in the Boomers and left them to themselves in Nellis. VEndingBoomers The tribe remained fortified in Nellis with their backs to the world. VEndingBoomers {Narrating}The Boomers defended themselves against many attacks from the Legion, but they eventually fell to the Legion's superior numbers. VEndingBoomers The Legion enslaved the Boomers and erased any memory of their existence from the wasteland. VEndingBoomers {Narrating}With little law left in the wasteland, the Boomers continued to defend themselves against the prospectors and scavengers invading their territory. VEndingBoomers {Narrating}With the help of the Gun Runners, the Boomers developed a healthy trading relationship with the NCR. VEndingBoomers Eventually the Boomers began wandering out into the wasteland, while still preventing outsiders from entering Nellis. VEndingBoomers {Narrating}Mr. House showed little interest on the Boomers, who eventually began venturing out of Nellis to meet and trade with travelers. VEndingBoomers {Narrating}Cautious after the Boomers' display of power at Hoover Dam, Caesar chose to leave the Boomers alone. VEndingBoomers The Boomers remained isolated but have been seen flying over the Mojave Desert from time to time. VEndingBoomers {Narrating}Though the Wasteland became anarchic after Hoover Dam, the Boomers' display of power dissuaded fortune seekers from attempting to penetrate Nellis. VEndingBoone {Narration}Tired of waiting for the world to be done with him, Boone ventured into the wastes to make his own way out. VEndingBoone {Narration}Unable to clear his mind of the past, he was at last granted the death he'd awaited, bringing final rest to a life that had ended long ago. VEndingBoone {Narration}As the Battle of Hoover Dam ended, Boone confirmed what he had always suspected - that revenge would never quiet his troubled mind. VEndingBoone {Narration}Side arm in hand, he journeyed back to California in search of the NCR officer who had led the attack on Bitter Springs. VEndingBoone {Narration}There, with only two bullets loaded, Boone did the only thing he believed would put an end to his suffering. VEndingBoone {Narration}Looking for a place where he could be of some use, Boone found himself re-enlisting with his old unit. VEndingBoone {Narration}Though his regrets remained in his thoughts, they coalesced into a purpose, and Boone embraced it. VEndingBoone {Narration}He spent his leave time hunting down slavers in the desert, his First Recon beret the last thing they never saw. VEndingBoone {Narration}Though NCR was withdrawing from the region, Boone remained in New Vegas, finding work as a security guard and caravan scout along the highways. VEndingBoone {Narration}While he might've preferred rejoining his old unit, Boone couldn't bring himself to abandon the city where he'd met his wife. VEndingBoone {Narration}Boone refused to take the Legion's victory lying down. VEndingBoone {Narration}Heading to the hills with his rifle, he began a deadly campaign against high-ranking Legion officers. VEndingBoone {Narration}And though the price on his head rose to levels unheard of, few pursued it, fearing it would be the last thing they'd never see. VEndingBoone {Narration}No longer held in check by his conscience, Boone found lucrative work as a mercenary and assassin. VEndingBoone {Narration}No job was too violent, no target too innocent. As long as the caps were good, Boone would take the job. VEndingBoone {Narration}Driven mad by Caesar's victory at Hoover Dam, and unable to escape his memories, Boone staged a suicide mission against the Legate. VEndingBoone {Narration}Fighting as he wished he would've fought on the day of his wife's death, he brought down scores of Legionaries before being caught. VEndingBoone {Narration}Before his crucifixion, he was brought before the Legate, who expressed his admiration for Boone's reckless abandon. VEndingBoone {Narration}Boone spat tobacco in his eye, for all of Caesar's armies to see. VEndingBrotherhood {Narrating}Buried beneath tons of rubble, the Mojave chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel was no more. VEndingBrotherhood Those few who were outside the Hidden Valley bunker when it was destroyed settled into new lives, or headed west to find a new chapter to join. VEndingBrotherhood {Narrating}During the fight for Hoover Dam, the Brotherhood took HELIOS One, inflicting heavy damage on retreating NCR forces, but it was a pyrrhic victory. VEndingBrotherhood Once The Strip was secured, Caesar's forces overwhelmed and eventually routed the Brotherhood from HELIOS One and Hidden Valley. VEndingBrotherhood {Narrating}The Brotherhood used the battle of Hoover Dam as an opportunity to retake HELIOS One, and came to control the area between it and Hidden Valley. VEndingBrotherhood With no organized opposition, their patrols began monitoring trade along I-15 and 95, seizing any items of technology they deemed inappropriate. VEndingBrotherhood {Narrating}The Brotherhood and the NCR in the Mojave Wasteland declared an official truce, despite continued hostilities between the two in the west. VEndingBrotherhood As per their agreement, the NCR handed over all suits of salvaged power armor and in return the Brotherhood helped patrol I-15 and Highway 95. VEndingBrotherhood {Narrating}Due to their temporary truce, the Brotherhood allowed the NCR to retreat from the Mojave Wasteland without incident. VEndingBrotherhood In the relative peace that followed, Brotherhood patrols appeared along major roads, harassing travelers over any bits of technology they had. VEndingCass {Narrating Her Own Ending, slow and sad}Rose of Sharon Cassidy died as her caravan died - in an unmarked grave, another victim of the Mojave. VEndingCass {Narrating Her Own Ending, Sad}Despite the destruction of Cassidy Caravans, Cass lived for 30 more years. VEndingCass {Narrating her own ending, sad}She made her way back West and passed away in a small shack outside of Vault City, the rose pendant still around her neck. VEndingCass {Narrating Her Own Ending}The slaughter of the Van Graffs and the Crimson Caravan caused no end of trouble for NCR back West. VEndingCass {Narrating Her Own Ending}Already struggling, NCR's supply lines suffered further as the two caravans withdrew support until the massacre in the East" was resolved." VEndingCass {Narrating Her Own Ending}In the years following the destruction of Cassidy Caravans, NCR used evidence of the plot to blackmail the Crimson Caravan and the Van Graffs. VEndingCass {Narrating Her Own Ending}NCR enacted strict trade laws with little resistance, strengthening their supply lines and their position in the Mojave. VEndingCass {Narrating Her Own Ending}Cass survived to see the NCR flag flying proud over Hoover Dam, and thought for a moment... {emph}this is what a hero must feel like. VEndingCass {Narrating Her Own Ending}Cass lived to see Hoover Dam in its Old World glory, humming with power the likes of which the Mojave had never seen. VEndingCass {Narrating Her Own Ending, Sad, skipping is bad}Vegas burned brighter than ever, Securitrons filled the streets, and Cass's heart skipped... just a little. VEndingCass {Narrating Her Own Ending}Her last words were to the Dam - and to herself. {Resume Cass Voice, sad}We were going full speed ahead... but facing backwards the whole time."" VEndingCass {Narrating Her Own Ending}Cass lived to see the Courier bring down three armies and by her count, that was three more than she'd expected. {Beat, a little quieter}She'd kept quiet about that, though. VEndingCass {Narrating Her Own Ending}Cass lived to see the mark of the Legion on Hoover Dam. Uncertain of what lay next for the West, she remained silent. VEndingCass {Narrating Her Own Ending, Sad}As the Legion marched West, she found it difficult to see the Dam as anything more than a gravestone for the Mojave - and everyone in it. VEndingCLCaesarAlive {narrating}Caesar entered The Strip as though it was his Triumph. The Legion pushed the NCR out of New Vegas entirely, driving them back to the Mojave Outpost.

VEndingCLCaesarAlive {narrating}Under the Legion's banner, civilization - unforgiving as it was - finally came to the Mojave wasteland.

VEndingConclusion {Narration, wrapping things up}In the new world of the Mojave wasteland, fighting continued, blood was spilled, and many lived and died - just as they had in the Old World.

VEndingEdE {Narrating - ED-E Dies}After a long and fantastic journey, ED-E finally met its end with the dangers of the Mojave. VEndingEdE It lay destroyed and gathering dust, waiting for scavengers to pick through its remains for salvage. VEndingEdE {Narrating ED-E Unrepaired}ED-E remained forgotten in the shop of Johnson Nash, until it was repaired by another courier who let it continue on its journey to Navarro.

VEndingFiends {Narrating}Their leaders destroyed by the Courier, the Fiends scattered throughout the wasteland. VEndingFiends Without the organization of Motor-Runner, Cook-Cook, Violet, and Driver Nephi, they were easy prey. VEndingFiends {Narrating}Never weakened by NCR, the Fiends staged an attack against Camp McCarran during the second Battle of Hoover Dam. VEndingFiends Though NCR repulsed the Fiends, they suffered heavy losses in the process.

VEndingFiends NCR repulsed the attack with minimal losses and, in the following days, destroyed the remaining Fiend leaders, breaking their power forever.

VEndingFollowers {narrating}With no clear leader to guide efforts in Freeside, the Followers of the Apocalypse lost control of Old Mormon Fort to local thugs and junkies. VEndingFollowers {narrating}Eventually, using the Followers' remaining supplies to manufacture drugs, the Old Mormon Fort quickly devolved into little more than a junkie den. VEndingFollowers {narrating}After the NCR's victory at the dam, the Followers of the Apocalypse were pushed out of Old Mormon Fort during its occupation by NCR forces. VEndingFollowers {narrating}NCR further encouraged" them to leave Outer Vegas entirely VEndingFollowers {narrating}After the NCR's victory at the dam, in part thanks to Follower medical support, NCR allowed the Followers to care for refugees as they see fit. VEndingFollowers {narrating}Old Mormon Fort expanded its services and was able to aid more people, becoming a refuge for the less fortunate citizens of New Vegas. VEndingFollowers {narrating}After the Legion's victory, the new Caesar learned the Followers had defamed" the original Caesar's noble origins." VEndingFollowers {narrating}The Followers of the Apocalypse were hunted down and exterminated, and Old Mormon Fort was turned into a pile of rubble. VEndingFollowers {narrating}After the Legion's victory, Caesar, out of a strange respect for his old fellows, allowed the Followers safe passage out of the wasteland. VEndingFollowers {narrating}Reluctantly, the Followers accepted the offer and abandoned Old Mormon Fort to the Legion. VEndingFollowers {narrating}After the Courier ensured New Vegas remain free, the Followers found that independent Vegas was even more unstable and violent than before. VEndingFollowers {narrating}Old Mormon Fort became excessively burdened by the influx of patients, struggling to provide even the most basic of services. VEndingGoodsprings {narrating}Travelers continued to stop by Goodsprings Source for water on the Long 15, but rarely would anyone venture into the ruins of Goodsprings itself. VEndingGoodsprings {narrating}Those who did were almost always tourists, come to visit the graveyard where the Courier rose from the dead."" VEndingGoodsprings {narrating}Goodsprings saw more trade along I-15 after NCR gained control of the Mojave Wasteland, but with that came a heavy burden of the Republic's taxes. VEndingGoodsprings {narrating}Some old-timers, unable to handle the cost, were forced to move on, grumbling all the while. VEndingGoodsprings {narrating}The Legion, preoccupied with its acquisition of New Vegas, scarcely took notice of the town of Goodsprings. VEndingGoodsprings {narrating}Many locals moved on, fearful of Caesar's long shadow. Only the old and the stubborn remained. VEndingGoodsprings {narrating}After Mr. House gained control of New Vegas, he sent a Securitron to Goodsprings as a token of appreciation for helping the Courier. VEndingGoodsprings {narrating}Victor was a mixed blessing, however, as he continually monitored the town for Mr. House. VEndingGoodsprings {narrating}With New Vegas' independence formally declared, Goodsprings thrived. VEndingGoodsprings {narrating}More travelers stopped by Goodsprings on their way to and from the Strip, and the locals grew prosperous from the traffic. VEndingGreatKhans {narrating}After generations of being beaten down, the Great Khans were finally broken by the Courier. VEndingGreatKhans Those few who avoided the Courier's wrath moved north, into the wilderness of Idaho, where they tried once more to rebuild. VEndingGreatKhans {Narrating}After the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, the Great Khans returned for a time to Red Rock Canyon. VEndingGreatKhans The NCR's pressing need to expand proved greater than its promise of amnesty, and before long the government decided the Khans had to go. VEndingGreatKhans The surviving Great Khans were relocated to an isolated, barren reservation, well north of NCR trade routes. VEndingGreatKhans {Narrating}For supporting the NCR, the Great Khans were ruthlessly hunted down by the victorious Legion. VEndingGreatKhans Caesar destroyed all evidence of their existence at Red Rock Canyon, and forbade mention of their name in any history. VEndingGreatKhans The Great Khans' legacy was swiftly forgotten. VEndingGreatKhans {Narrating}As reward for their loyal service, Caesar forcibly integrated the Great Khans into the Legion. VEndingGreatKhans The sick and elderly were killed, the women sold as wives to ranking officers, and the tribe's identity was annihilated. VEndingGreatKhans Though many Great Khans mourned the death of their tribe, many more were ultimately satisfied with their revenge against NCR. VEndingGreatKhans {Narrating}After driving the Legion out of the Mojave Wasteland, the victorious NCR turned its attention to those who had allied themselves with Caesar. VEndingGreatKhans The Great Khans were among the first tribes to suffer this fate, and the few who survived Hoover Dam were driven north, into the wilderness of Idaho. VEndingGreatKhans {Narrating}During the Battle of Hoover Dam, the Great Khans quickly evacuated Red Rock Canyon and headed north and east into the plains of Wyoming. VEndingGreatKhans There, they reconnected with the Followers of the Apocalypse and rebuilt their strength. VEndingGreatKhans Bolstered by ancient knowledge of governance, economics, and transportation, they carved a mighty empire out of the ruins of the Northwest. VEndingGreatKhans {Narrating}After their suicidal last stand at Hoover Dam, the Great Khans ceased to exist as a tribe. VEndingGreatKhans The few surviving members dispersed, joining up with other tribes and gangs across the Mojave, and quickly forgot their heritage. VEndingIndependent {Narration}The Courier, with the aid of Yes Man, drove both the Legion and the NCR from Hoover Dam, securing New Vegas' independence from both factions. VEndingIndependent {Narration}With Mr. House out of the picture, the remaining Securitrons on The Strip were hard-pressed to keep order. {Beat}Anarchy ruled the streets. VEndingIndependent {Narration}When the fires died, New Vegas remained, assuming its position as an independent power in the Mojave. VEndingIndependent {Narration}The Courier, with the aid of Yes Man, drove both the Legion and the NCR from Hoover Dam, securing New Vegas' independence from both factions. VEndingIndependent {Narration}With Mr. House out of the picture, part of the Securitron army was diverted to the Strip to keep order. {Beat, slightly lower}Any chaos on the streets was ended, quickly. VEndingIndependent {Narration}Chaos became uncertainty, then acceptance, with minimal loss of life. {Beat}New Vegas assumed its position as an independent power in the Mojave. VEndingIntro {Narration}And so the Courier who had cheated death in the cemetery outside Goodsprings cheated death once again, and the Mojave wasteland was forever changed. VEndingJacobstown {narrating}With Jacobstown's leadership destroyed, the remaining Super Mutants and Nightkin of the west scattered across the wasteland. VEndingJacobstown {narrating}Jacobstown withered away, its death going unnoticed by the rest of the Mojave. VEndingJacobstown {narrating}Thanks to the Courier and Lily, a cure for the Nightkin schizophrenia was found shortly after Doctor Henry's experiment concluded. VEndingJacobstown {narrating}Nightkin and other Super Mutants in the wasteland flocked to Jacobstown, and the town became known as a haven where a mutant could find peace. VEndingJacobstown {narrating}Though a cure for the Nightkin schizophrenia was eventually found, it became a case of too little, too late for Jacobstown. VEndingJacobstown {narrating}Disgruntled by the death of their leader, Keene, most of the Nightkin scattered into the wasteland, their insanity worsening with each day. VEndingJacobstown {narrating}Jacobstown, constantly on guard for anti-mutant reprisals, never truly prospered. VEndingJacobstown {narrating}Though a cure for the Nightkin schizophrenia was eventually found, it became a case of too little, too late for Jacobstown. VEndingJacobstown {narrating}Most Nightkin at Jacobstown followed their leader Keene out into the wasteland, terrorizing the Mojave for years to come. VEndingJacobstown {narrating}Jacobstown, constantly on guard for anti-mutant reprisals, never truly prospered. VEndingJacobstown {narrating}It took more time than anticipated for a cure for the Nightkin schizophrenia to be found, but in the end it was beneficial to Jacobstown. VEndingJacobstown {narrating}The presence of the Nightkin leader, Keene, persuaded Nightkin from across the wasteland to make the journey to the town. VEndingJacobstown {narrating}Jacobstown prospered, becoming known as a fair - if somewhat intimidating - place for a trader to do business. VEndingJacobstown {narrating}With no cure for the Nightkin schizophrenia in sight, the disgruntled Nightkin left Jacobstown. Without a treatment, their insanity grew. VEndingJacobstown {narrating}The crazed Nightkin terrorized the wasteland, and Jacobstown suffered repeated reprisals from mutant-hating humans. VEndingJacobstown {narrating}In the end, the surviving mutants abandoned Jacobstown entirely, its existence quickly forgotten by the rest of the wasteland. VEndingKings {Narrating}With the King dead and most of their gang slain by the Courier, the remaining Kings fled the area, never to be heard from again. VEndingKings {Narrating}After the NCR victory at Hoover Dam, the temporary truce between them and the Kings blossomed into a full-scale relief effort for the people. VEndingKings While the NCR made repeated entreaties that Freeside join the Republic, the Kings steadfastly maintained their independence. VEndingKings {Narrating}Accusing the Kings of lying with a foreign invader for their newfound ties to the NCR, Mr. House punished them by ordering their forced removal. VEndingKings The Kings, defiant to the end, were destroyed to the last man by House's Securitrons. VEndingKings {Narrating}Following the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, Freeside came to be known as one of the more stable areas in the region. VEndingKings Ironically, NCR refugees found Freeside safer than most of the rest of New Vegas, where resentment still lingers. VEndingKings {Narrating}After their victory at Hoover Dam, the Legion quickly set about destroying all remaining resistance, including any groups with ties to the NCR. VEndingKings Upon discovering the Kings' newfound relationship with the NCR, Legionaires flooded the streets of Freeside, and the Kings were quickly destroyed. VEndingKings {Narrating}While the NCR was busy fighting the Legion at Hoover Dam, some Kings took it upon themselves to attack NCR citizens and soldiers around Freeside. VEndingKings When the NCR moved to secure the region, they cracked down the hardest on Freeside, sending a full platoon to sweep the neighborhood. VEndingKings Most of the Kings were killed, with the few survivors driven out into the wastes. VEndingKings {Narrating}During the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, some Kings took it upon themselves to launch several attacks on NCR citizens and soldiers around Freeside. VEndingKings Mr. House looked on these actions favorably, seeing them as proof of the Kings' loyalty to New Vegas, and decided to leave them alone. VEndingKings {Narrating}In the aftermath of the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, the Kings took the opportunity to viciously force all NCR citizens out of Freeside. VEndingKings Travelers from the Republic quickly learned to avoid Freeside if they valued their safety. VEndingKings {Narrating}Impressed with the Kings' continued attacks upon NCR citizens and soldiers, the Legion offered them the option of being assimilated into the Legion. VEndingKings The Kings refused, and briefly became slaves in the Legion, but after failed escape attempt, they were all put to death. VEndingKings {Narrating}As the NCR moved to secure the region, the occupation of Freeside proved especially problematic. VEndingKings Things remained tense due to numerous incidents, though the Kings were still in nominal control of the area. VEndingKings {Narrating}Flush with his victory, Mr. House sent Securitrons into Freeside, thinking to increase his control over the area. VEndingKings When fighting broke out, the Kings fought valiantly, but were no match for the armored killing machines, and were wiped out to the last man. VEndingKings {Narrating}The Kings retained their control of Freeside, and while they continued to favor the needs of locals, they tolerated the citizens of the defeated NCR. VEndingKings {Narrating}After their victory at Hoover Dam, Legion troops rolled through Freeside. VEndingKings The Kings tried to fight back, but most were killed, and the rest fled into the wasteland. VEndingLily Lily's long life finally came to a close in the Mojave Wasteland. As the life faded from her, her last thoughts were of her grandchildren. VEndingLily Encouraged by the Courier to take her medication regularly, Lily's mind eventually attained a semblance of clarity. VEndingLily Her memories dulled by the pills, she cast aside the recording of her grandchildren, no longer remembering its significance. VEndingLily Lily continued to take her medicine at half-doses, and although she remembered her grandchildren, her mind remained muddled and confused. VEndingLily Eventually, she parted ways with the Courier and traveled west, seeking the remnants of her past. VEndingLily Encouraged by the Courier to stop taking her medication altogether, Lily's instabilities grew worse with each passing day. VEndingLily Eventually she became little more than a ravening beast, the kindly old grandmother subsumed beneath the rage. VEndingMisfits {Narrating}Slain to the last man by the Courier, the Misfits were at least spared the humiliation of dying during Caesar's attack on Camp Golf. VEndingMisfits Few mourned their absence. VEndingMisfits {Narrating}Shaped up by the Courier's advice, the Misfits distinguished themselves during the Legion's attack on Camp Golf. VEndingMisfits Mags was finally promoted to Sergeant, and the rest of the Misfits received an official commendation. VEndingMisfits They continued to serve with distinction for many years. VEndingMisfits {Narrating}Though Camp Golf fell to Caesar, the Misfits distinguished themselves during the Legion's attack. VEndingMisfits Mags and her soldiers were posthumously recognized for their valor by NCR. VEndingMisfits {Narrating}The Misfits' laziness caught up with them when the Legion attacked Camp Golf. VEndingMisfits Those who weren't killed in the attack attempted to flee, but were caught at Mojave Outpost, court-martialed, and hanged from the ranger monument. VEndingMisfits {Narrating}Driven into a frenzy by their use of Psycho, the Misfits inflicted heavy casualties on the Legion during the defense of Camp Golf. VEndingMisfits At first they were commended for their valor, but eventually, desperate for more of the chem, they turned on travelers in Outer Vegas. VEndingMisfits For their dishonorable conduct, the NCR court-martialed and executed them by firing squad. VEndingMrHouse {narrating}Mr. House's Securitron army took control of Hoover Dam and The Strip, pushing both the Legion and the exhausted NCR out of New Vegas. VEndingMrHouse {narrating}Mr. House continued to run New Vegas his way, a despotic vision of Pre-War glory. The streets were orderly, efficient, cold. VEndingMrHouse {narrating}New Vegas continued to be the sole place in the wasteland where fortunes were won and lost in the blink of an eye. VEndingNCR {narrating}The New California Republic celebrated its second victory at Hoover Dam, establishing definitive control over the entire Mojave Wasteland. VEndingNCR {narrating}Soon after, they negotiated terms to annex The Strip, Freeside, and many surrounding communities. VEndingNCR {narrating}The Mojave wasteland, at long last, had entirely fallen under the NCR's banner. VEndingNCRCF {narrating}After Hoover Dam, the leaderless Powder Gangers at the Correctional Facility vanished into the wastes, leaving the prison empty. VEndingNCRCF {narrating}The Correctional Facility became another abandoned ruin in the wasteland, its carcass occasionally picked over by enterprising prospectors. VEndingNCRCF {narrating}With the Dam firmly in their grasp, the NCR turned its attention towards wresting the Correctional Facility from Powder Ganger hands. VEndingNCRCF {narrating}The Powder Gangers are no match for the battle-hardened troops of the NCR, and summary execution awaited the Powder Gangers who managed to survive. VEndingNCRCF {narrating}Most Powder Gangers at the Correctional Facility fled into the wasteland rather than face the advancing forces of the Legion. VEndingNCRCF {narrating}Those brave or foolish to remain were killed or crucified by the merciless Legionaries. VEndingNCRCF {narrating}The NCR, battered by the loss of the Dam, were unable to devote any troops to retaking the Correctional Facility from the Powder Gangers. VEndingNCRCF {narrating}As a result, Powder Ganger raids on caravans became an unfortunate fact of life in the Mojave for years to come. VEndingNovac {narrating}Despite their vigilance against potential attacks by the Legion, the citizens of Novac were no match for the Courier. VEndingNovac {narrating}The motel and Dinky the Dinosaur were left vacant, a rare stop at best for travelers along Highway 95. VEndingNovac {narrating}Though Novac was a low-priority target for the Legion, many of Novac's citizens died in its defense. VEndingNovac {narrating}In the weeks that followed, feral ghouls, overflowing from the REPCONN Test Site, ravaged the weakened town. VEndingNovac {narrating}Though Novac was a low-priority target for the Legion, many of Novac's citizens died in its defense. VEndingNovac {narrating}With no other communities coming to its defense, Novac would eventually fall to the Legion's persistent attacks. VEndingNovac {narrating}Though Novac was a low-priority target for the Legion, many of Novac's citizens died in its defense. VEndingNovac {narrating}In the weeks that followed, several Bright Followers returned to Novac to help restore its defenses, allowing it to remain independent of NCR. VEndingNovac {narrating}During the Legion's attack on Novac, Bright Followers, returning from their long pilgrimage, assisted in its evacuation. VEndingNovac {narrating}Though Novac eventually fell to the Legion, many citizens of Novac were able to escape, alive and intact. VEndingNovac {narrating}While the destruction of the REPCONN rockets appeared to be a boon to the salvagers of Novac, the benefit would never be realized. VEndingNovac {narrating}Radioactive fuel from the wrecked ships seeped out and contaminated the area. Salvagers were forced to move on, and the town was abandoned. VEndingPowderGang {narrating}With Cooke dead, the Powder Gangers at Vault 19 fell apart. VEndingPowderGang {narrating}Those who weren't destroyed by the Courier fled into the hills or attempted to work their way back through the Mojave Wasteland. Few survived. VEndingPowderGang {narrating}Armed with a wide array of improvised explosives and stolen weapons, the Vault 19 Powder Gang tormented the Mojave Wasteland for years. VEndingPowderGang {narrating}Citizens of the NCR were favorite targets, and they always suffered the worst fates. VEndingPowderGang {narrating}After the Vault 19 Powder Gang surrendered to the NCR, they were re-incorporated into the correctional system. VEndingPowderGang {narrating}The NCR did increase their sentences, as they aren't about to take off time for good behavior. VEndingPowderGang {narrating}After the majority of the Vault 19 Powder Gangers joined the Great Khans, the weaker members scattered throughout the Mojave Wasteland. VEndingPowderGang {narrating}Though a few managed to erase their pasts, most never survived the journey. VEndingPrimm {Narrating}Primm, already torn apart by Powder Gangers, was dealt a killing blow by the Courier. VEndingPrimm Though prospectors pick through the remains of the town from time to time, no one re-establishes it as a settlement. VEndingPrimm {Narrating}After Hoover Dam, NCR helps rebuild Primm as a major stopping point on the Long 15. VEndingPrimm Though Primm's citizens chafe under NCR's taxes, they benefit greatly from the increased protection and merchant traffic. VEndingPrimm {Narrating}Despite NCR's pledge to support Primm, they abandon the town after their loss to Mr. House. VEndingPrimm As repayment for their NCR loyalty, Mr. House sends Securitrons to Primm to protect" it and collect heavy taxes from its citizens." VEndingPrimm {Narrating}Despite NCR's pledge to support Primm, they abandon the town after their loss to Caesar. VEndingPrimm Though Caesar keeps Primm open for business, its citizens live under the constant watch of Legion soldiers. VEndingPrimm {Narrating}Despite NCR's pledge to support Primm, they abandon the town after their loss to the Courier. VEndingPrimm Independent again, Primm operates much as it had before the Powder Gangs arrived: full of ups and downs. VEndingPrimm {Narrating}After Hoover Dam, Sheriff Meyers runs Primm with his own style of frontier justice. VEndingPrimm He deals with most folks fairly, but now and then someone winds up dead with little to no evidence against them. VEndingPrimm {Narrating}Hot-headed to the end, Sheriff Meyers choose to oppose Caesar's takeover of Primm with a standoff. VEndingPrimm Though the citizens take out a few Legionaries, the town quickly falls to Caesar, its citizens utterly wiped out. VEndingPrimm {Narrating}Primm Slim proves to be an able-minded, if not able-bodied, sheriff for Primm. VEndingPrimm Due to his slow speed, some crooks get away without a scratch, but Primm continues to prosper under his watchful robotic eye. VEndingPrimm {Narrating}Not understanding the gravity of the Legion's imminent takeover of Primm, Sheriff Primm Slim valiantly attempts to resist Caesar's will. VEndingRangers {narrating}After the death of Chief Hanlon, the power of NCR's Rangers was broken for years. VEndingRangers {narrating}Their organization, so reliant on the wisdom and guidance of its elder members, became a shadow of what it once was to people across the wasteland. VEndingRangers {narrating}Defying Chief Hanlon's worst fears, NCR's rangers persevered and distinguished themselves during the second Battle of Hoover Dam. VEndingRangers {narrating}The rangers, along with NCR's many troopers, shared the glory of victory. VEndingRangers {narrating}Hanlon wisely stayed out of the spotlight, crediting General Oliver's leadership for NCR's success. VEndingRangers {narrating}After a brief fanfare, Hanlon stepped down as chief and returned to the peace and quiet of his ranch outside of Redding. VEndingRangers {narrating}During the attack on Hoover Dam, Chief Hanlon and his rangers threw themselves into the path of the Legion assault, dying to the last man and woman. VEndingRangers {narrating}In the aftermath that followed in the NCR, bitter citizens and opportunistic senators were quick to denounce President Kimball and General Oliver. VEndingRangers {narrating}Hanlon and his fallen rangers were revered for their bravery and sacrifice. VEndingRangers {narrating}Despite distinguishing themselves during the second Battle of Hoover Dam, the rangers' victory was short-lived due to the Courier's interference. VEndingRangers {narrating}Chief Hanlon personally directed the evacuation of the rangers to Mojave Outpost as they fell back into NCR territory. VEndingRangers {narrating}Bitter over the waste of life in the Mojave, Hanlon stepped down from his post. VEndingRangers {narrating}After a campaign in which he denounced Oliver's and Kimball's hawkish, imperialist ways, Hanlon was elected as the senator of Redding. VEndingRangers {narrating}Although they performed admirably during NCR's defense of Hoover Dam, the rangers fell into decline soon after. VEndingRangers {narrated}With Hanlon's plot against the occupation exposed and Oliver hailed as NCR's new war hero, many rangers were greeted coldly on their return home. VEndingRangers {narrating}Few openly blamed the rangers for Hanlon's treachery, but public and political support for the organization quickly dwindled. VEndingRangers {narrating}With Caesar's victory came a small measure of vindication for the rangers' late Chief Hanlon. VEndingRangers {narrating}Upon the military's return, debate raged within NCR's senate about who was to blame for the loss of Hoover Dam. VEndingRangers {narrating}Though some in NCR regarded Hanlon as a traitor, many believed he was the only military commander who saw the futility in defending New Vegas. VEndingRangers {narrating}Although they performed admirably during NCR's defense of Hoover Dam, the rangers fell into decline soon after. VEndingRangers {narrating}With Hanlon's plot against the occupation exposed and Oliver denounced for losing Hoover Dam, many rangers were greeted coldly on their return home. VEndingRangers {narrating}Few openly blamed the rangers for Hanlon's treachery, but public and political support for the military as a whole quickly dwindled. VEndingRangers {narrating}Due to the Courier's intervention, Chief Hanlon abandoned his plan to sabotage the defense of Hoover Dam. VEndingRangers {narrating}The rangers assisted the troopers admirably during the Legion's ill-fated attack. VEndingRangers {narrating}Though General Oliver and Chief Hanlon were both praised for their leadership, the chief quietly stepped out of the spotlight. VEndingRangers {narrating}After a brief fanfare for a life full of accomplishments, Chief Hanlon retired and returned to the peace and quiet of his ranch in Redding. VEndingRangers {narrating}Due to the Courier's intervention, Chief Hanlon abandoned his plan to sabotage the defense of Hoover Dam. VEndingRangers {narrating}The rangers heroically assisted NCR's troopers in their ill-fated defense against the overwhelming power of Caesar's Legion. VEndingRangers {narrating}Though many NCR military officers fled the territory soon after the dam was lost, Chief Hanlon remained at Camp Golf to surrender to the Legion. VEndingRangers {narrating}Out of respect for Hanlon's composure and worth as an adversary, Caesar had him beheaded. VEndingRangers {narrating}Due to the Courier's intervention, Chief Hanlon abandoned his plan to sabotage the defense of Hoover Dam. VEndingRangers {narrating}The rangers heroically assisted NCR's troopers in their ill-fated defense against the overwhelming power of Caesar's Legion. VEndingRangers {narrating}Though many NCR military officers fled the territory soon after the dam was lost, Chief Hanlon remained at Camp Golf to surrender to the Legion. VEndingRangers {narrating}Despite the late Caesar's respect for Chief Hanlon as an adversary, Legate Lanius had Hanlon crucified along with all of the other rangers. VEndingRangers {narrating}Due to the Courier's intervention, Chief Hanlon abandoned his plan to sabotage the defense of Hoover Dam. VEndingRangers {narrating}The rangers assisted the troopers admirably during the Legion's ill-fated attack. VEndingRangers {narrating}Though the Courier snatched victory from NCR, only General Oliver was blamed for the loss of Hoover Dam. VEndingRangers {narrating}Hanlon, exhausted after a lifetime of service to the NCR, stepped down from his position in the rangers and retired to his ranch in Redding. VEndingRaul {Narrating}After a long and eventful life, Raul's luck finally ran out during his time with the Courier. VEndingRaul {Narrating}Still grappling with self-doubt over his usefulness in the face of old age, Raul was never able to find peace with himself. VEndingRaul Eventually, he left the Mojave and assumed a new name, as he had done so many times before. VEndingRaul {Narrating}Invigorated by his travels with the Courier, Raul once more took up his guns in memory of his lost Rafaela. VEndingRaul Soon after, the Mojave was filled with tales of the ghost-vaquero who hunts down those who prey on the weak. VEndingRaul {Narrating}Convinced that his time as a gunslinger was past, Raul made peace with the idea of growing old. VEndingRaul After traveling with the Courier for a time, he retired and settled down in Outer Vegas, where he would spend his days fixing ancient machinery. VEndingRemnants {narrating}Despite surviving the destruction of the oil rig and the loss of their comrades at Navarro, the venerable Remnants were no match for the Courier. VEndingRemnants {narrating}They carried the secrets of their old lives to their graves. VEndingRemnants {narrating}After their bold arrival at Hoover Dam, the Remnants disappeared as quickly as they came. VEndingRemnants {narrating}Legends of their power spread throughout the southwest, a reminder of why people once feared the sight of vertibirds in the sky. VEndingRemnants {narrating}Merciless in their assault on the NCR, the Remnants struck fear into the hearts of even the Centurions at Hoover Dam. VEndingRemnants {narrating}Well aware of the full extent of their power, {KAI-zar}Caesar commanded his troops to not pursue them. VEndingRemnants {narrating}Merciless in their assault on the NCR, the Remnants struck fear into the hearts of even the Centurions at Hoover Dam. VEndingRemnants {narrating}{KAI-zar's}Caesar's heirs aggressively pursued the Remnants into Arizona, losing hundreds of Legionaries in the process and gaining nothing in return. VEndingRex {narrating}He had survived police service in Colorado, the Great War, combat duty with the Legion, and being the companion of The King. VEndingRex {narrating}But, in the end, Rex finally succumbed to the horrors of the wasteland. VEndingRex {narrating}Having never received a replacement brain, Rex finally succumbed to old age, abruptly shutting down forever one quiet morning. VEndingRex {narrating}After two centuries of life and decades of service to humanity, Rex collapses and dies. VEndingRex {narrating}Revitalized by Violetta's brain, Rex eventually learned to balance the memories of his old life with Violetta's experiences among the brutal Fiends. VEndingRex {narrating}His mind had difficulty adjusting, but Rex eventually found peace with his new, more vicious self. VEndingRex {narrating}With the transplant of Lupa's brain, Rex gained all of the donor's experiences traveling with the Legion. VEndingRex {narrating}These melded well with his own memories of the Legion, and his new mind quickly adjusted to the myriad memories. VEndingRex {narrating}After Rey's brain was transplanted into Rex's cybernetic body, it took Rex some time to adjust to the old scrap yard dog's memories. VEndingRex {narrating}Eventually, Rex's mind settled peacefully, melding his own memories with that of long travels with Old Lady Gibson. VEndingRoseofSharonCassidyComplete {Narrating Her Own Ending}That night, Cass kicked in the door of his room to celebrate, only to find the man on the bed was an NCR soldier whose barracks had been destroyed. VEndingRoseofSharonCassidyComplete {Narrating Her Own Ending}He was cute, though, so after having her way with him, she got the hell out, leaving an empty whiskey bottle as a note. VEndingRoseofSharonCassidyComplete {Narrating Her Own Ending}As she walked along the Dam in the night, she felt drunk, content, and happy to be alive. {Beat, end on a positive downnote}Which to her, was the whole point of it all. VEndingRoseofSharonCassidyNCR {Narrating Her Own Ending}She was about to tell the Courier not to get too proud of himself, then she figured he knew that already. VEndingRoseofSharonCassidyNCR {Narrating Her Own Ending}She was about to tell the Courier not to get too proud of herself, then she figured she knew that already. VEndingRoseofSharonCassidyNCR {Narrating Her Own Ending}So she laughed, said fuck it all, and raised a bottle to the Dam and the ones who had fought for it. VEndingRoseofSharonCassidyNCR {Narrating Her Own Ending}As far as she was concerned, the whole thing was proof that playing out a bad hand can pay off in the end... VEndingRoseofSharonCassidyNCR ...as long as someone like the Courier was holding the cards. VEndingRoseofSharonCassidyNCR ...as long as a woman like the Courier was holding the cards. VEndingVeronica {Narration}At odds with leadership over the Brotherhood's future, Veronica looked to the Mojave Wasteland for an answer both she and they could live with. VEndingVeronica {Narration}But the answer would never come, and the dangers of the world that had left the Brotherhood of Steel behind would eventually claim her life. VEndingVeronica {Narration}Hoping to lead the Mojave Brotherhood down a new path, Veronica sought to learn from the thriving cultures of the desert. VEndingVeronica {Narration}Absent a firm solution, Veronica's expression of frustration with Brotherhood leadership would lead to her banishment. VEndingVeronica {Narration}She ended her days a wandering tinker. VEndingVeronica {Narration}Despite her departure from the group, the Brotherhood's peace treaty with NCR came as some relief to Veronica. VEndingVeronica {Narration}Though she remained friendly with surface patrols, she was never again permitted to enter the bunker she once called home. VEndingVeronica {Narration}Fearing for the safety of anyone she associated with, she continued her solitary life as a scavenger. VEndingVeronica {Narration}But reports would emerge from Mojave scientists and social workers of old equipment miraculously repaired and research notes mysteriously completed. VEndingVeronica {Narration}Though she'd seen the writing on the wall, the destruction of the Mojave Brotherhood came far more suddenly than Veronica had expected. VEndingVeronica {Narration}The news devastated her. Despite her best efforts to leave her past behind, she found herself compelled to make one final journey to Hidden Valley. VEndingVeronica {Narration}There, she paid her last respects to the only family she had ever known. VEndingVeronica {Narration}The Brotherhood's open aggression along the New Vegas highways troubled Veronica greatly. VEndingVeronica {Narration}Nevertheless, it removed all doubt from her mind that in leaving them she had made the right choice. VEndingVeronica {Narration}Eventually she would take to the road, less in hopes of finding a new home than of leaving memories of the old one behind her. VEndingVeronica {Narration}The peace with NCR served to ease Veronica's worries about the Brotherhood's immediate future. VEndingVeronica {Narration}Still, a distance had arisen between her and her fellow members that would never be bridged. VEndingVeronica {Narration}She began secluding herself in crumbling libraries of the Old World, learning of promising technologies she knew the Brotherhood would never adopt. VEndingVeronica {Narration}The death of the Mojave Brotherhood came much too soon for Veronica, and in their absence, she felt truly lost. VEndingVeronica {Narration}Yet in its wake, she took small comfort in her decision to remain by their side through their few remaining days. VEndingVeronica {Narration}Veronica put her moral sensibilities aside and supported the Brotherhood's new campaign of aggression as best she could. VEndingVeronica Yet deep down, she understood that it meant their end would surely be soon to follow. VES01aVictorInNovacVictorTopic000 Be seeing you.

They keep talking about getting shafted VES34VaultVVault34HorowitzTopic001 Apparently somebody did them ill, all the way inside the surface-city with lights - the Strip, and Freeside, they call it. VES34VaultVVault34HorowitzTopic001 We're lucky to be here, alive and well. The land's a mystery to us, but we'll find our place in it. VES34VaultVVault34HorowitzTopic002 Until soon, I hope, outlander. VES34VaultVVault34HorowitzTopic003 It fills me with hope to see that people from the surface world are kind, and brave. Again, thank you. VES34VaultVVault34HorowitzTopic004 Of course, please, take this! We carried as much useful technology as we could, before our journey into the surface world. VFollowerDialogueRoseRoseofSharonCassidyTopic000 Bye. VFollowerDialogueRoseRoseofSharonCassidyTopic001 Okay! Sold! VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic000 Hell, yes sir. Well... not officially. Not anymore. VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic000 They mustered me out a year ago. Administrative discharge. VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic000 Hell, yes ma'am. Well... not officially. Not anymore. VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic000 They mustered me out a year ago. Administrative discharge. VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic001 Sure do. Lots of folk been coming out east, sorting through junk, looking for whatever they can sell. VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic001 Times are tough back home. Too many people, not enough work. Unless you like shoveling brahmin shit. VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic003 It means my C.O. was an asshole, and I told him to eat shit. He ordered me to flog a couple deserters."" VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic003 Those kids didn't desert. They just got liquored up on the Strip and missed roll call. VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic003 I don't know what else the brass expects... half these kids don't get more than two weeks of training before they ship 'em out here. VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic004 Staff sergeant, Third Platoon, Bravo Company. I was at the Dam when the Legion hit us, three years back. VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic004 That was a shitstorm, and don't let anybody tell you different. The brass try to play it down, but most of them were back at McCarran. VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic005 Going home didn't feel right, not with those savages camped on the other side of the river, sharpening their knives. VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic005 And I still get to see my old platoon when they pass through here... make sure the new C.O. is treating them right, and sneak them extra ammo. VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic005 Anyway, I was always complaining about the standard issue gear. The new kids don't even get body armor, can you believe that? VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic006 Vegas is bleeding us dry. We're tossing caps at a hundred different problems, while Caesar bides his time and lets us wear ourselves out. VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic006 This war is gonna bankrupt the NCR, unless we finish off the Legion fast and dirty. VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic006 We shouldn't be perched up at the Dam - we ought to be crossing the Colorado and sticking a boot up Caesar's ass. VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic007 So I hooked up with a couple other vets... bribed a Gun Runner... VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic007 Now we're supplying grunts, mercs, and anybody else on our side. We don't make much... but at least we're saving lives. VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic013 I'll be here a while yet, if you need any guns or ammo. VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic014 I didn't. My C.O. ordered me to flog a couple deserters VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic014 Those kids didn't desert. They just got liquored up on the Strip and missed roll call. VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic014 I don't know what else the brass expects... half these kids don't get more than two weeks of training before they ship 'em out here. VFreeform188188NCRMerchantTopic015 Sure, no problem. VFreeformBlackMountainBMNeilTopic000 Who knows? It might stay abandoned, get used as a base for raiders, or even become another colony for mutants. VFreeformBlackMountainBMNeilTopic000 The future is not written, human, and it is foolish to squint at what cannot be seen. VFreeformBlackMountainBMNeilTopic001 Be safe, human. And thanks again for everything. VFreeformBlackMountainBMRhondaTopic000 And I suppose you're taking credit for the deed, fiend! I will avenge her! VFreeformBlackMountainBMRhondaTopic001 I'll just wait here for Mistress Tabitha. VFreeformBlackMountainTabithaTopic000 {Laughs}No, of course not. I... don't know what I'm going to do now with Rhonda back... VFreeformBlackMountainTabithaTopic001 It's just... such a shock to see Rhonda up and about again. I'm not sure what to do now. VFreeformBoulderCityBCIkeTopic002 {Quarry Junction Deathclaws dead}Most of the limestone comes from Quarry Junction out west. The supply had stopped for awhile because of a Deathclaw problem. VFreeformBoulderCityBCIkeTopic002 I heard some badass wastelander killed the Deathclaws, and deliveries of limestone have been coming in again. VFreeformBoulderCityBCIkeTopic002 I don't think they've gotten the trains up and running yet, but most of the concrete plant workers have come back to town now. Good for business. VFreeformBoulderCityBCIkeTopic002 {Quarry Junction Deathclaws not dead}Most of the limestone comes from Quarry Junction out west, but I hear some Deathclaws overran the quarry. VFreeformBoulderCityBCIkeTopic002 With no work to be had, all the workers around here have wandered off. I'm the only one left in town. VFreeformBoulderCityBCIkeTopic007 Come back real soon! VFreeformBoulderCityBCIkeTopic009 Oh. Well, you'd better not let any of the real troopers hear that - and, of course, they won't be hearing it from me, neither. VFreeformBoulderCityBCIkeTopic009 So, what brings you to Boulder City? Not many people come here. VFreeformBoulderCityBCIkeTopic010 What can I get you? VFreeformBoulderCityBCIkeTopic011 The workers here don't much like the military. After too many fights and broken noses, the NCR doesn't allow troops to spend time here. VFreeformBoulderCityBCIkeTopic011 That doesn't stop a few people like yourself, of course. Don't worry, I won't say a word. VFreeformBoulderCityBCIkeTopic015 Most of the town is rubble - destroyed during the Battle of Hoover Dam - and the only other thing around here is the concrete mixing yard. VFreeformBoulderCityBCIkeTopic017 The NCR has been constructing bunkers up and down the river. From what I've heard, it's a little late for that. VFreeformBoulderCityBCIkeTopic017 Travelers over at the 188 - just up the road - said that the Legion has overrun a couple of towns to the south. VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic000 I'm not afraid of a gunfight, but I'd rather get back to Red Rock without a few extra holes in me if I can help it. VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic001 Yeah, that's a pretty piece of work. Makes me wonder why you'd turn on the NCR, especially when they had us cold. VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic001 Here - a souvenir for you. It's Benny's lighter. Shove it up his ass when you catch up with him. VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic002 Yeah, {as in, go on VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic003 And here I thought us Great Khans were tough to kill. So, what happens now? VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic008 You think you can take me, punk? VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic020 Then we are out of here. Here - a souvenir for you. It's Benny's lighter. Shove it up his ass when you catch up with him. VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic022 What's to negotiate? The NCR backs off, we walk out of here, nobody gets hurt. VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic022 Still going on about this, huh? Pretty sure I already said we want the NCR to back off and let us out. VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic033 Don't have it. Benny stole it, right before he stabbed us in the back. He's probably back at the Strip by now, laughing at me. VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic034 Yeah... about that... VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic035 Yeah? On what? VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic036 He's one of the Chairmen, big shots who run The Tops casino in New Vegas. A friend from the city contacted me with info on a big job. VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic036 I should've known that the caps were too good to be true, but there was still no way I could pass up the chance. VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic037 Fine. VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic038 And face NCR justice?" No thanks. I'd rather not spend the next ten years doing hard labor." VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic039 Just a big, fancy poker chip as far as I know. Don't know why anyone would make one out of platinum, though. VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic040 {Jessup mentions bribe option}We'd try to bribe our way out, but seeing as how Benny didn't pay us yet, that won't happen. VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic041 He's a snake, that's why. He owed us the rest of the pay for the job, so maybe he didn't want to pay up. VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic042 [SUCCEEDED] I can't believe I'm doing this, but all right, the hostages can go. The NCR had better keep their end of the deal, though. VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic042 Here - a souvenir for you. It's Benny's lighter. Shove it up his ass when you catch up with him. VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic042 [FAILED] Right, and they'd probably give us all medals, too. Maybe I should kill a hostage because you wasted my time with this shit. VFreeformBoulderCityBCJessupTopic043 {annoyed at the player's flippant reaction}All right, quit fucking around. You survived and you tracked us down. What now? VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic001 You mean... just let them go? How would I explain this to my superiors? VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic001 I've been thinking about it since you brought it up earlier. 500 caps would go a long way for some soldier's families. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic002 Once the Great Khans have been killed or captured, you're welcome to retrieve any property they've taken from you. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic009 500 caps would go a long way for some soldier's families. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic011 Right. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic013 This doesn't feel quite right, but it resolves things and gets my troopers back in one piece. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic014 All right. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic015 My hands are tied. I can't go against orders... can I? VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic016 You cut a deal with the Khans? Damn it. Attacking them now doesn't feel right, but orders are orders. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic017 [SUCCEEDED] That makes sense, and it's still more than these troopers see in a month. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic017 [FAILED] You're asking me to accept a bribe. I'd like to make sure the risk to my career - and freedom - benefits the families of my troops. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic023 One of my patrols was on its way back from Novac when it came under fire from the Great Khans. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic023 They radioed for reinforcements, but instead of waiting for us, they chased the Khans into the ruins where they were caught in a crossfire. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic023 No deaths, but not all of the squad got out. The Khans have Private Ackerman and Private Gilbert as hostages. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic025 I don't like it, but orders are orders. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic026 This doesn't feel quite right, but it resolves things and gets my troopers back in one piece. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic029 Very well. Keep me updated. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic030 500 caps was the amount requested. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic030 We agreed on 400 caps. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic031 You're right. The Great Khans are free to go. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic032 {nodding}Goodbye. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic033 I don't like it, but orders are orders. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic034 Shoot. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic035 Knowing the Khans, they were probably drugged up to hell and back. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic035 We'll take it from here and sort things out. Thanks for trying to help us out. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic036 Right... probably just bad luck. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic037 You were supposed to negotiate for the safety of my troopers, damn it. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic038 Normally, I'd turn you down since I have no idea who you are, but considering that the hostages are as good as dead when we attack... VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic038 All right, I'm going to give you a chance to talk to the Great Khans. Their leader is a man named Jessup. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic038 If we hear shooting, we'll be coming in, but it'll probably be late for you. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic047 As soon as you free them, the rest of my squad will move in and provide covering fire. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic047 You should wait until it's darker so that you have the best chance to pull this off. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic047 You should go now, while it's still dark. That way, you'll have the best chance to pull this off. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic048 Good luck. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic052 Acceptable casualties VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic055 It was worth a try. I'll have to proceed with the attack as ordered, then. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic059 All right. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic060 It's one of the biggest sources of electrical power in the region, so the NCR's fortified the place pretty heavily. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic060 When President Kimball shows up on his inspection tour, I'm sure he'll be confident that the Dam is safe and secure. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic061 They're an outlaw group, primarily trafficking in drugs and other contraband. They usually stay out of NCR territory, though. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic062 Camp McCarran is the headquarters for the NCR military in this region. It occupies the old airport next to New Vegas. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic063 It's probably just a political thing - you know, give a few speeches, shake hands with the troops, boost morale. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic066 Destroyed during the Battle of Hoover Dam a couple of years ago. The town was set up as a trap for Caesar's Legion. VFreeformBoulderCityBCLieutenantMonroeTopic066 The sharpshooters in the Rangers picked off the Legion's veterans from a distance, and the rest of the Legion just rushed on in. Then - boom! VFreeformBoulderCityBCPrivateKowalskiTopic000 Oh, now it's on. VFreeformBoulderCityBCPrivateKowalskiTopic001 It commemorates the Battle of Hoover Dam. The rangers lured the best of Caesar's Legion into Boulder City, then blew the whole town up. VFreeformBoulderCityBCPrivateKowalskiTopic001 The NCR still lost a bunch of troops in the fighting, though. My older brother sacrificed himself so they could evacuate some of the wounded. VFreeformBoulderCityBCPrivateKowalskiTopic002 Bye. VFreeformBoulderCityBCPrivateKowalskiTopic004 Don't worry about it. VFreeformBoulderCityBCPrivateKowalskiTopic005 [SUCCEEDED] All right, apology accepted. Don't let it happen again. VFreeformBoulderCityBCPrivateKowalskiTopic005 [FAILED] Yeah, sure, whatever. I'm done with you. VFreeformBoulderCityBCPrivateKowalskiTopic006 Camp McCarran, but I'm on leave at the moment - heading back to California to see my folks. VFreeformBoulderCityBCPrivateKowalskiTopic006 I'm supposed to join up with a caravan that's heading that way up at the 188, but they're not due to arrive for awhile yet. VFreeformBoulderCityBCPrivateKowalskiTopic008 Just get the fuck away from here, already. vFreeformCampForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic000 I've been placed in charge of morale. It's difficult trying to keep spirits up with the Legion nearby. vFreeformCampForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic000 In fact, there's more hope in wrangling Brahmin with my grandmother's stocking than inspiring these troopers. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic000 Gee, I dunno, maybe because I'm saddled with the worst damn unit in the NCR Army? Think that might have something to do with it? VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic001 Please. Camp Golf is where they shuffle off anybody they don't want any more. Assignment here is a career ender. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic002 [SUCCEEDED] You really think so? Hell, I guess it's worth a shot. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic002 [FAILED] Yeah, right. You think Poindexter doesn't have a dozen of his crazy practical jokes all lined up if I try that? VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic002 I like my underwear to *not* be full of radioactive itching powder, thanks. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic003 Yeah, well... I didn't want to get promoted out of the field. I didn't join up to drive a desk. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic004 Thanks. I only wish some of the soldiers under my command would share some of it. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic017 [SUCCEEDED] You heard the man, people, get focused! VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic017 [SUCCEEDED] You heard the lady, people, get focused! VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic017 [FAILED] Okay... sure. Everybody shoot the hell out of the target! VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic018 [SUCCEEDED] I've got the one at 11 o'clock! Razz, O'Hanrahan, take the two on the right! Poindexter, the center! VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic018 [FAILED] Faster, people, faster! More lead in the air! VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic019 [SUCCEEDED] Right. Exhale... squeeze. Focus on the shot. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic019 [FAILED] I'm really not sure that's how this works. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic020 Thanks for the help. I think the whole unit's doing a lot better now. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic020 That was... something. Thanks for trying, at any rate. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic021 After the help you gave us with the shooting range, we'll take any advice you've got. I'll line them up. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic025 Okay, if you say so. Hell, it's not like we've got a lot to lose here. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic026 [FAILED] I've got a bad feeling about this.... VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic026 [SUCCEEDED] Right. Easy enough. One... two... three! VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic027 [SUCCEEDED] Solid arc, check. Lob 'em up and over, people! VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic027 [FAILED] They're kind of heavy for that, but whatever you say.... VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic028 [SUCCEEDED] Hold the grenades for groups, squad! Hit them in clusters and send them running! VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic028 [FAILED] What the... what the hell are you talking about? VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic029 Yeah, I do. Thanks. I think we might survive this now. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic029 You've got a funny definition of well VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic030 I doubt it. Poindexter might have an idea for some kind of last-minute scheme. You should talk to him. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic031 Yeah, right. Bitch. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic031 Yeah, right. Dick. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic032 Oh, okay. Just thought I'd ask. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic033 Classified? Shit, it must be really big then. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic034 Are you serious? No way! I don't believe it! VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic037 Well, if you ask me, what we really need is to get the whole squad out on the practice range - shape up our marksmanship and explosives skill. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic037 I'm sure the others have their own ideas, though. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic038 Are you sure? I've got enough clout to get them started, but these guys are pretty lazy. I doubt they'll want to be pulled in different directions. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic039 Okay, I'll be here if you come to your senses. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic040 You're the boss. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic041 Okay, if you say so. Hell, it's not like we've got a lot to lose here. VFreeformCampGolf2CMagsTopic042 Okay, if you say so. Hell, it's not like we've got a lot to lose here. VFreeformCampGolf2CMcCredieTopic000 Yeah, well, somebody has to wrangle those washouts and losers. Somebody's got to turn them into a real fighting force. VFreeformCampGolf2CMcCredieTopic001 Mostly drill the troops, try to keep the discipline up and combat readiness high. VFreeformCampGolf2CMcCredieTopic001 It's not the easiest job in the world - soldiers without a mission get bored very easily. VFreeformCampGolf2CMcCredieTopic001 Still, with the Legion just across the river, we have to be ready. VFreeformCampGolf2CMcCredieTopic002 You're welcome to try - hell, maybe they'll listen to somebody they don't see as an authority figure. VFreeformCampGolf2CMcCredieTopic003 I'd be skeptical of the odds, myself. I just hope they figure it out before it comes to that. VFreeformCampGolf2CMcCredieTopic008 I suppose so. Sorry, this isn't your problem, I shouldn't be going on to you about this. VFreeformCampGolf2COHanrahanTopic003 Some folks just ain't cut out for Army life, I guess. VFreeformCampGolf2COHanrahanTopic004 Oh, don't worry! I won't! VFreeformCampGolf2COHanrahanTopic005 Well that don't make no sense. We came all this way; why don't he want to stay? It's nice here. VFreeformCampGolf2COHanrahanTopic006 That's right. Folks just don't talk to other folks, and everybody's always cross with each other. VFreeformCampGolf2COHanrahanTopic007 Maybe you just ain't had a healthy dose of human niceness in a while. VFreeformCampGolf2COHanrahanTopic008 Folks just don't talk to other folks, and everybody's always cross with each other. VFreeformCampGolf2COHanrahanTopic009 That'd be swell. Only, if they knew the idea came from me, they probably wouldn't take you serious no more, so maybe you oughta think about it first. VFreeformCampGolf2COHanrahanTopic009 And I sure hope you're more convincing than I am, or they ain't gonna listen. VFreeformCampGolf2COHanrahanTopic010 Okay! VFreeformCampGolf2COHanrahanTopic011 Whatever you think's best. VFreeformCampGolf2CPoindexterTopic001 I suppose if you must stick with your narrow, parochial view of in charge VFreeformCampGolf2CPoindexterTopic002 Genius is seldom appreciated in its own time. VFreeformCampGolf2CPoindexterTopic003 [FAILED] Why would I? If this unit improves its performance, we'll be shipped to the front lines. That's hardly conducive to living a long life. VFreeformCampGolf2CPoindexterTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] Hmm. You're trying to appeal to my ego. I must admit, it's an effective tactic. All right - I'll help. VFreeformCampGolf2CPoindexterTopic003 But only because I want to see if it's even possible. VFreeformCampGolf2CPoindexterTopic004 This is an unexpected variable. I had hoped to coast on an easy wave of mediocrity to a cushy government pension. VFreeformCampGolf2CPoindexterTopic005 Your insults are both unhelpful and unwanted. I'll thank you to keep them to yourself. VFreeformCampGolf2CPoindexterTopic006 And how would you propose accomplishing such a goal? VFreeformCampGolf2CPoindexterTopic008 Hmm... an intriguing proposition. VFreeformCampGolf2CPoindexterTopic008 Company readiness reports are logged on the computer systems at the Resort. If you hack the system, you could alter our records. VFreeformCampGolf2CPoindexterTopic008 Such an attempt, however, is likely to thwart efforts to motivate the squad to do actual work. If such is your goal, you should look elsewhere. VFreeformCampGolf2CPoindexterTopic015 Excellent! Squad readiness records can be accessed from two terminals at the resort: the main terminal in the lobby or a secure one in a back office. VFreeformCampGolf2CPoindexterTopic015 The main terminal is typically unlocked, but is also in the middle of a major thoroughfare, you'll have to be stealthy to access it. VFreeformCampGolf2CPoindexterTopic015 The office terminal is locked, but you might have an easier time accessing it, especially at night. VFreeformCampGolf2CPoindexterTopic016 As you wish; I'm sure the optimal solution will become apparent to you in time. VFreeformCampGolf2CRazzTopic000 [FAILED] Hey, you asked. Don't want the answer, don't ask a guy's opinion. VFreeformCampGolf2CRazzTopic000 [SUCCEEDED] Shit, maybe you're right. Guess I ought to give them a shot. VFreeformCampGolf2CRazzTopic001 Whatever. Not like I need any of them. I do just fine on my own. VFreeformCampGolf2CRazzTopic002 Psycho! The big red one! I used to run with the Fiends, I still got the hookups. Smuggle some in and you'll see an improvement. VFreeformCampGolf2CRazzTopic003 My man Jack at Red Rock Canyon got the goods. But listen: once you get folks dosed on Psycho, ain't a lot of room for much else. VFreeformCampGolf2CRazzTopic003 So if you got any other plans for bulking up the Misfits crew, might want to see about them first. VFreeformCampGolf2CRazzTopic004 Right. Head to Red Rock Canyon - that's deep Khan territory, so watch your back. Talk to Jack, tell him Razz wants the usual. See you soon. VFreeformCampGolf2CRazzTopic005 Whatever. vFreeformCampGuardianBattleDone {Triumphant, taunting the dead}Ha! How do you like that you sons of bitches?! vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic000 {Relieved}You must be the backup I've been calling for. Where are the rest of your men? vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic001 Thank God. I hoped someone would come eventually, but where are the rest of your men? vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic002 {Urgent}Shit. Have you any damn idea what lives in these caves!? We need to get out of...{cut short realizing he's yelling} vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic002 {Urgent hushed tone, fearful monsters will hear}We need to go now! vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic004 {anxious}I don't know. Some kind of man-fish freak like the one I killed over there. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic004 I'd heard fishermen spin old tales of 'Lakelurks' swimming in the water, but I always thought they were just bullshit mermaid stories. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic005 I managed to kill that thing, but not before it mangled my leg all up. No way I'm walking out of here like this. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic005 I've been keeping quiet and hoping they don't realize one of their buddies is missing. We need to get out of here before they come back. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic006 With my bare hands. I would have shot it, but I was cleaning my gun when they swarmed the camp. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic006 The ugly bastard knocked me down and started dragging me down into these caves. I managed to get my knife out and get a good throw into it's back. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic006 Once he was on the ground, all it took was a bit of choking and punching to finish him off. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic007 [SUCCEEDED] Thanks a lot, doc. I think I should be able to walk out of here, now. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic007 I don't want to risk running into a pack of those freaks alone, though. Could you escort me out of here? vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic007 [FAILED] Whoa there, buddy. What you're suggesting is downright archaic. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic007 I think my tourniquet will work for now, but I still can't walk like this. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic007 If I had a doctor's bag, I could probaly fix it up myself. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic008 Thanks a lot, doc. Looks like I should be able to at least walk out of here, now. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic008 I don't want to risk running into a pack of those freaks alone, though. Could you escort me out of here? vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic009 Great, just leave me here, then. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic010 You can have it if you get me out of here alive. I won't have a use for it when I get back to California. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic011 Great, I'll start heading back to California now. I'm not about to let myself get killed by future NCR incompetence. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic011 If you find my friends, please return their dogtags to the NCR. People need to know what happened here. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic011 If they won't listen, do what you can to make them listen. The dead need to be avenged. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic012 Are you crazy? No way in hell am I going deeper into these caves. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic012 You haven't seen what they did to the other troopers, and I'd rather not find out why they took all of the bodies. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic014 [SUCCEEDED] All right, you have a point. They were good men and deserved better. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic014 I can't guarantee I'll be much help against their numbers, but I'll do what I can. Chances are we won't get out of here alive anyway. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic014 [FAILED] Hey, I'm all for being a hero when the time is right, but there are at least 12 of those bastards lurking around in here. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic014 I'd rather not join my buddies any time soon. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic015 Lead on. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic017 I know, but now that I can see the way out, I'm not so sure. I'd rather not join my dead buddies anytime soon. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic017 I'm going to start heading back to California now. I'm not about to let myself get killed by future NCR incompetence. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic018 {Fearful, surprised}Ahhh!... vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic018 {Realizes player isn't a monster}You sick bastard, I could have shot you! You must be the backup I've been calling for. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic018 {Concerned}Where are the rest of your men? vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic019 If you find my friends, please return their dogtags to the NCR. People need to know what happened here. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic019 If they won't listen, do what you can to make them listen. The dead need to be avenged. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic020 Sure enough, you got me clear of this mess. Here you go. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic022 Sure enough, you got me clear of this mess. Here you go. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic024 {anxious}I don't know. Some kind of man-fish freak like the one I killed over there. vFreeformCampGuardianNVCGHalfordTopic024 I'd heard fishermen spin old tales of 'Lakelurks' swimming in the water, but I always thought they were just bullshit mermaid stories. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic000 Take care. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic002 No one by that name has come here, I'm afraid. You must've heard wrong. You can ask around if you'd like - they'll all tell you the same thing. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic003 The co-op is comprised of Westside locals and run by Clayton Etienne. They produce all of their own food and share in the profits of the co-op. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic005 I'm with the Followers of the Apocalypse, and I help the locals in Westside grow crops. Unlike the NCR, the Followers don't expect anything back. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic005 The soil and the hot, dry environment don't make it easy, but we get by all right. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic005 We've even got our own food store, the Westside Co-op, complete with basic refrigeration. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic006 I don't go looking for fights with them, but they don't have the best interests of people in mind. Certainly not locals. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic006 The bottom line for NCR is productivity and growth. Politicians back in Shady Sands are completely detached from the people actually living here. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic009 I suppose there's no point in denying it any longer. I killed Corporal White to protect Westside's self-reliance. It was rash, and I regret it now. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic009 We don't have the money to pay for the water, so I rigged the pump station to divert water to the local cisterns from time to time. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic010 I'll surrender on one condition - you protect Westside's secret. Without that water, this community won't survive long. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic010 I'll say that White and I had a... falling out over a woman. A crime of passion, if you will. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic011 Thank you. I won't make any trouble when they come for me. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic012 Then you leave me no choice. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic013 Ten percent of the co-op's profits. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic014 Good. Tell Etienne about our deal and I'll turn myself in. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic014 Then we have an agreement. Thank you for keeping my secret - such a thing will never happen again. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic015 If the NCR thinks White was killed by, say, members from the Scorpions gang, it may be enough for them to close the case. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic016 Thank you. What happened was regrettable, but I'll make sure it never happens again. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic019 [SUCCEEDED] Twenty percent it is. Etienne won't like it, but at least our secret will be safe. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic019 I'll turn myself in. Thank you for understanding. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic019 [SUCCEEDED] Twenty percent it is. Etienne won't like it, but at least our secret will be safe. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic019 Thank you for keeping my secret. I'll make sure that nothing like it ever happens again. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic019 [FAILED] You ask too much. We barely make a profit as it is. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic020 Perhaps a partnership in the co-op would be enough. Say, ten percent of daily profits? VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic026 That's not a bargain I can accept. Westside depends on that water for survival and self-reliance. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic000 Half a year or so. The Casa's a dump and Marco's a pig, but Pretty Sarah makes sure I don't get hassled. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic000 I don't get as many customers as Sweetie or Maude. But the customers I do get always come back. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic001 What Marco said is true. The Legion attacked my village when I was 16. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic001 My parents were killed as examples. The rest of us, chained and dragged to some kind of camp. A Centurion there chose me as his tent servant. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic001 He was handsome, and gentle, most of the time. Said it was our secret, and he'd protect me. Gave me little gifts, stupid things. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic001 But Caesar punishes homosexuality with death, and we nearly got caught, and there were suspicions. So when he took me out into the desert... VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic001 Well, I knew he was going to get rid of me. So I kicked him where it counts and I ran. And then swam. And ran some more. Wound up here. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic001 Baby, who I am doesn't matter. I'll be anybody you need me to be. It's better that way, you'll see. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic001 I'm just a fantasy come to life. But you already knew that. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic002 It's tough on both sides of the fence, really. I think women have it worse. They're like money, given as rewards. {Shakes head}Breeding stock. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic002 Honestly, as long as men meet obligations and the child count, friendships" are a sight more equal than the level of most Legion husbands and wives." VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic003 Yeah, I lived through it. I like it here better. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic004 She's an honest woman. Splits the earnings fair, and keeps Sweetie and Maude in line. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic004 Minds her own business, too. She knows what it's like for people to go through things they'd rather not talk about. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic005 {Male PC}A pittance, sugar - and I'll leave you without a care in the world. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic005 {Female PC}Sorry, ma'am, but ain't enough caps in all of New Vegas to make me do that. Nuh-uh. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic005 {Male PC}Same price as before, sugar, and the same fun, too. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic005 {disgusted by memory of having sex with a woman}I told you, I ain't ever doing that again - ever. It was like being a slave all over again. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic006 Oh, we will, sugar. We will. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic006 I'll do my best to live up to my last performance. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic007 {Male PC}You can play hard-to-get. I understand. I know the game. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic007 {Female PC}Oh honey, I know you're interested. I just don't go that way is all. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic008 No freebies, Sugar. Not even for you. VFreeformCasaMadrid1EJimmyTopic009 See you. VFreeformCasaMadrid1ESaintJamesTopic000 Yeah, fuck off. VFreeformCasaMadrid1ESaintJamesTopic001 {bungling your lie}Yeah, well, I must've heard rumors, and, uh... {losing patience}fuck you! You got nothing on me and Dermot. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideAndersonTopic000 {PC Intelligence 6+}Fair enough. Since you seem to have pieced it together, I won't insult you by denying it any further. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideAndersonTopic000 I killed Corporal White to protect Westside's self-reliance. It was rash, and I regret it now. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideAndersonTopic000 We don't have the money to pay for the water, so I rigged the pump station to divert water to the local cisterns from time to time. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideAndersonTopic001 Some of the other Followers mentioned you. All right - the truth, then. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideAndersonTopic001 I killed Corporal White to protect Westside's self-reliance. It was rash, and I regret it now. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideAndersonTopic001 We don't have the money to pay for the water, so I rigged the pump station to divert water to the local cisterns from time to time. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideDermotTopic000 Me and my partner Saint James work salvage around Westside, that's all. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideDermotTopic001 {'Cause}Because it's his name. He may be high-strung, but he's all right. Hauls his half of scrap, which is all I need. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideDermotTopic002 Don't believe everything you hear. Me and Saint James earn our caps working salvage. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideDermotTopic002 It's hard work, so when I'm not working I like to relax. Which means it's time for you to fuck off. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideDermotTopic002 Like I told you, we work salvage. We aren't coyotes. And like I told you, fuck off. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideDermotTopic003 You're right about that. {shouting for your partner, starting combat} Saint James! Got a thief here! VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideDermotTopic005 Yeah, beat it. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideJimmyTopic000 Oh, I think I'd like that. A lot. Maybe even give you a discount for my... company. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMarcoTopic000 Yep, for a few years now. Guess I should be calling it Casa Marco or something, but I haven't changed the signs. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMarcoTopic000 Folks who can't pay their way onto the Strip need a place to stay, too. And when Pretty Sarah set her whores up here, the Casa went full-service.{Ha!} VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMarcoTopic001 Roughneck prospector is all I hear, good at what he does. Been renting a room here for a year or so - nothing special. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMarcoTopic002 Him? {Ha!}Caesar's Legion taught him everything he knows. I bet there's a pound of sand ground into his palms and knees!{Ha!} VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMarcoTopic002 Knowing Jimmy, I'm sure he took good care of them. {Ha!}I'm surprised he ran away! VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMarcoTopic003 Oh, I know everything - how she smells, how she tastes, how it feels to slip her on and wiggle.{Ha!} VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMarcoTopic003 Damn fine woman, but damn expensive, too. Just ask Saint James - he spends near every cap he gets on Sweetie's sweets.{Ha!} VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMarcoTopic004 Catch you later, then. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMarcoTopic005 Ain't so pretty, is she? Not since she had a run-in with those Fiends over near McCarran.{Ha!} VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMarcoTopic005 This Fiend named Cook-Cook on account of the flamethrower he wears? He had his way with Sarah, every way it can be done. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMarcoTopic005 Then he starts frying her up for kicks. Guess it was how he signed his work. {Ha!} VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMarcoTopic006 Like who? VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMarcoTopic007 All right, then. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMarcoTopic008 Guy's unstable, but he pays his rent and Sweetie seems to like him all right. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMarcoTopic009 Good man. He's one of the Followers of the Apocalypse. He's the one who taught people around here how to start growing crops. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMarcoTopic009 Westside wouldn't be what it is without Anderson helping us out, so I cut him a deal on his rent. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMaudeTopic000 Old but spry, honey. So long as my back don't give out, I can make a living lying on it. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMaudeTopic000 May not be as fresh as Sweetie or Jimmy, but Pretty Sarah keeps me around for a good reason - experience! VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMaudeTopic001 That's right. Strange at first, having a woman for a pimp, but she's tough enough to handle any trouble so far. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMaudeTopic002 She's a good earner. {sour grapes}Of course, she don't care who she sleeps with or what they do to her. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMaudeTopic003 {Male PC}Best prices around so long as {alluding to anal sex}you don't try putting anything someplace it was never intended. How's that sound? VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMaudeTopic003 {Female PC}{disapproving}If you're looking to get perverted, go talk to Sweetie. She's less particular than I am. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMaudeTopic003 No discounts for repeat customers... {senile, uncertain}I think we did it before, anyways. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMaudeTopic004 {Male PC}You know where to find me, honey. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMaudeTopic004 {Female PC}Good luck. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMaudeTopic005 You won't notice anything once the lights are out, hon. The places that count are still firm enough... VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMaudeTopic005 Well, don't just stand there. I ain't getting any younger. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMaudeTopic006 Well, I'm not a goddamn charity, so come back when you do. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMaudeTopic007 I'll be right here if you change your mind, honey. Just let me know. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMaudeTopic008 I suppose he's okay, for one of {disapproving of his homosexuality}those. I suppose Pretty Sarah's got to cover every sort of customer. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMaudeTopic009 Those boys been living here a while now. They sell salvage and do all right. I never been with either of them. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideMaudeTopic009 That Saint James is all over Sweetie every time he rustles up the caps to afford her. She says he's peculiar but who isn't? VFreeformCasaMadridWestsidePrettySarahTopic000 They don't look like much, but they earn a pretty good living by selling scrap and salvage. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsidePrettySarahTopic000 Dermot saves his money. Saint James spends his on Sweetie. A good customer, that one. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsidePrettySarahTopic000 Coyotes? Yeah, they run folks onto the Strip, have some kind of connections over there. Everybody makes a living one way or another. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsidePrettySarahTopic000 Dermot saves his money. Saint James spends his on Sweetie. A good customer, that one. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsidePrettySarahTopic001 I look after the only reasons anyone would want to spend any time here. I'm a pimp. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsidePrettySarahTopic001 All Marco does is collect rent and take a small cut of my action. He sure as hell doesn't clean the rooms. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsidePrettySarahTopic001 I look after the only reasons anyone would want to spend any time here. I'm a pimp. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsidePrettySarahTopic001 Now that Marco's no longer around, I guess it's up to me to collect rent, too. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsidePrettySarahTopic002 We don't talk about that. Next topic. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsidePrettySarahTopic003 You did? Well, that's one hell of a service to humanity, then. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsidePrettySarahTopic003 I guess I always thought maybe I'd be the one to do it, but I just... never got my nerve up. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsidePrettySarahTopic003 Maybe I'll sleep good tonight... {deciding not to share details}Here, take this. It's how I say thanks. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsidePrettySarahTopic004 I'll take a look, but you better have a good reason for asking me to violate his privacy. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsidePrettySarahTopic004 {mounting fury}What?... Those bastards! Selling folks off to the Fiends? Selling children - to Cook-Cook...? VFreeformCasaMadridWestsidePrettySarahTopic004 {Resolving to kill them.}I've seen enough. They're done for, both of them. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsidePrettySarahTopic008 You know where to find me. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsidePrettySarahTopic011 Most of my body is scarred all over, like a ghoul. Nobody around who'd want to screw that. No, I just run things. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSaintJamesTopic000 {unstable and not especially bright}What do you even mean? He's Dermot. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSaintJamesTopic000 Dermot knows how to work salvage than any man I ever met. Doesn't go asking questions all day, neither. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSaintJamesTopic001 That's private. I don't go asking about how you like to get laid, and I don't wanna know. Enough of that. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic000 I bring in the customers, and she makes sure no one gets rough. Sarah's good people. Good enough, anyway. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic001 I'm called Sweetie because I'm the sweetest piece you'll find anywhere outside of the Strip. I could work in those casinos if I wanted. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic002 I got my start at the Gomorrah, good money, but I saw how those Omertas hook girls on free Jet or Med-X - then start charging. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic002 Slavery through a needle is what that is. I earn less out here, but I keep more. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic003 It's worth every cap, baby. I'll do things to you you didn't think was possible, and leave you feeling like everything's right in the world. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic003 I'm not surprised. Whip out your caps and away we go. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic003 Same price as before, baby, and worth every little cap. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic004 Get ready, honey. I'm going to make it good for you. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic004 {mischievous - she's what the player will be slipping into}Let me help you slip into something a little more comfortable. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic004 I am going to make your toes curl, baby. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic004 So get on the bed already. I got something to show you. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic005 You know you'll be back. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic006 Then I guess you won't be getting on me, either. Improve your prospects and come back, sugar. I'll be waiting. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic007 Keep telling yourself that, sugar. You'll be back. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic008 A client's got a right to privacy. So it'll cost 200 caps for me to tell you all about it. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic008 Like I said - 200 caps to hear all about it. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic009 [SUCCEEDED] {mischievous}Funny how I make caps every time I open my mouth. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic009 Saint James has problems, that's for sure. Never wants me to say a thing, or for me to move around, either. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic009 Lately he brings a teddy bear with him and props it on the bed like it's watching us. It's creepy as hell. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic009 Not the worst I ever been with, but more a pervert than most. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic009 [FAILED] {unimpressed}I'll leave it. You can leave, too. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic010 Saint James has problems, that's for sure. Never wants me to say a thing, or for me to move around, either. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic010 Lately he brings a teddy bear with him and props it on the bed like it's watching us. It's creepy as hell. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic010 Not the worst I ever been with, but more a pervert than most. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic011 Then I guess there's no need for us to keep talking, honey. Sorry. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic012 Fine by me. You the one missing out on exciting details. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic015 Sure do. Saint James is my number one customer. He's a prospector who pays Marco to stay here at the Casa week to week. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic015 I don't know why his friend Dermot chose to stay here - he's never been with me or nobody else. But Saint James likes having me close at hand. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic016 {Saint James dead}Since he's dead, I don't think he'll mind. Here. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic016 I do have his spare key, but I'm not sure he'd like it if I let you in there. Saint James can be a little crazy sometimes. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic016 I still don't think he'd like it if I let you in there. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic017 We can come to a deal. My price is firm, though - Saint James is a good customer and it better be worth it if I'm going to lose him. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic018 I could never resist a woman like you. Here, take the key, but don't tell anyone where you go it. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic019 {playful}Oh, don't you dare play that game with me. Fine, here's the key since it's so important to you. Just don't say where you got it. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic020 {cheerful, forgiving}Already forgotten! VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic021 And here's your key. VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideSweetieTopic022 Too bad. No caps, no key. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveFortLegionaryEntranceGreeterTopic000 Your belongings will be returned to you when you leave. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveFortLegionaryEntranceGreeterTopic000 Your belongings will be returned to you when you leave. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveFortLegionaryEntranceGreeterTopic001 This is your last warning. You will relinquish your weapons and banned items, or prepare to face the consequences. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveFortLegionaryEntranceGreeterTopic002 This fool challenges the Legion, brothers! Let us teach him some manners! VFreeformCottonwoodCoveFortLegionaryEntranceGreeterTopic003 Very well. Lucullus, escort this fool back to Cottonwood Cove. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveFortLegionaryEntranceGreeterTopic004 {Kai-zar}Caesar strictly forbids the use of chems and alcohol. By his order, all visitors must also relinquish their arms upon entry. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveFortLegionaryEntranceGreeterTopic004 If you come in peace, then there is no reason to not disarm. You will not be harmed unless Caesar wills it. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveFortLegionaryEntranceGreeterTopic005 Alcohol and all chems, including stims and other addictive items. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveFortLegionaryEntranceGreeterTopic006 [SUCCEEDED] I know not why Caesar would wish to speak with such a physically inferior whelp, but I will allow this one exception. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveFortLegionaryEntranceGreeterTopic006 You may bear Caesar's mark, but {strong emphasis}do not attempt to share any of your medicine with anyone in The Fort. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveFortLegionaryEntranceGreeterTopic006 [FAILED] Thus is Caesar's will. Do not test my patience. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveFortLegionaryEntranceGreeterTopic007 You're free to leave. The guard in the weather station will return the Chip to you when you're ready for {KAI-zar's}Caesar's mission. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveFortLegionaryEntranceGreeterTopic008 As you wish. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveFortLegionaryEntranceGreeterTopic009 Your belongings will be returned to you when you leave. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveFortLegionaryEntranceGreeterTopic009 Your belongings will be returned to you when you leave. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCAureliusTopic002 The killing of Profligates should never go unrewarded. I'll pay you a small sum per tag. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCAureliusTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] Go see {de-CAN-us se-VERH-us}Decanus Severus when you have tags, in that case. He watches over our stores. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCAureliusTopic003 [FAILED] {offended}Nothing on this Earth could make you worthy to wear the armor of a {Ken-TOO-ree-on}Centurion. Do not ask again. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCAureliusTopic004 Yes, stop wasting my time. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCAureliusTopic007 {Disappointed}Killing one Profligate is the work of a child. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCAureliusTopic008 Just two?{hmph} VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCAureliusTopic009 So you're getting some exercise. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCAureliusTopic010 {Impressed}A good bit of hunting. Here's your payment. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCAureliusTopic011 Hardly a day's work, but then again, you're not Legion. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCAureliusTopic012 Was there something else you wanted to bother me with? VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCAureliusTopic017 {Mildly amused}Hmm, perhaps I was wrong about your skills. You've killed more NCR than most recruits. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCAureliusTopic017 {Impressed}Good, good! Your growing number of NCR kills rivals most legionaries. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCAureliusTopic017 Keep up the good work! VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCAureliusTopic017 {Hearty laugh}Ha! Perhaps I was wrong about your skills, Profligate. Your kill count rivals some of our best warriors! VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCAureliusTopic017 {Amused}How many? VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCAureliusTopic018 As much as the Profligates' cowardice will allow. They haven't found the balls to attack us here, but we catch them out on patrols. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCAureliusTopic018 {proud}With two {LATIN}{con-too-BURR-nee-ah}contubernia at my command, I've killed and captured four times my numbers. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCAureliusTopic020 It is the armor of a {Ken-TOO-ree-on}Centurion. You have the rare honor of beholding it unspattered by the blood of my inferiors.

VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCSeverusTopic010 As much as their cowardice will allow. The Profligates avoid open battle, but on good days we find one of their patrols. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCSeverusTopic010 Their landmines have caused us more trouble than their marksmanship - which is lacking. VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCSeverusTopic012 {gruff}Here.

VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCSeverusTopic049 {gruff}What of it? VFreeformDevilsBrigadeCannibalJohnsonTopic001 I've been in the Reaper's shadow for a long time now, and I thought he'd finally showed up to collect. He's just mocking me now. VFreeformDevilsBrigadeCannibalJohnsonTopic003 What? I was talking about Death, kid. Guess that one went right over your head, didn't it? Old Sergeant {DOOR-nan}Dornan would've had a field day with you. VFreeformDevilsBrigadeCannibalJohnsonTopic005 There's a twitch in my trigger finger, I've lost my eagle eyes, and the other day I could've sworn I heard Sergeant {DOOR-nan}Dornan chewing me out. VFreeformDevilsBrigadeCannibalJohnsonTopic005 I'm old and I'm starting to feel it. It's not pleasant, especially when you know your mind's slipping away. VFreeformDevilsBrigadeCannibalJohnsonTopic005 We all gotta go sometime, but I was hoping for something a little more heroic. VFreeformDevilsBrigadeCannibalJohnsonTopic008 He was a drill instructor I knew. He was also the meanest bastard I've ever known. VFreeformDevilsBrigadeCannibalJohnsonTopic008 Once, he caught this private out of uniform and old Dornan went off on the most ear-blistering rant known to man. It was inspiring. VFreeformDevilsBrigadeCannibalJohnsonTopic009 Err... yeah. It was a long time ago. Things were better back then. VFreeformDevilsBrigadeCannibalJohnsonTopic011 [SUCCEEDED] The truth of it is that I did cut out a raider's heart, but only took a bite to mess with his buddies. VFreeformDevilsBrigadeCannibalJohnsonTopic011 They had me surrounded and I went with the first thing that came to mind. Some ran, and the rest were startled just long enough. VFreeformDevilsBrigadeCannibalJohnsonTopic011 [FAILED] Nope. You'll just have to keep on wondering. Heh. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic000 Ironic isn't it? vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic000 But it's understandable. The constant skirmishes take their toll on everyone in the end. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic001 I'd call that an understatement. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic001 But I can't complain. I'm not in the field as much as the others. I just stay here most of the day coming up with activities to occupy the camp. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic001 Which reminds me of something I've been meaning to try. A killer competition to boost morale. Interested? vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic002 Great. Since the camp is threatened by Legion, I propose a hunt. Kill any you encounter and bring me the Legion's ear as proof. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic002 You get it? Legion ear? vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic003 Come on. Lend me your ear. I bet you'll be good at it. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic004 Woah boy! This puts you far ahead of everyone else. I think I'll have to declare you the winner of the competition. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic004 It's not much, but here's a little something I scraped together for the winner of the contest. Good job, you earned it. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic004 Oh man! Awesome! The competition is still going strong. Keep it up! vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic005 What's on your mind? vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic007 No complaints. My assignment isn't easy but it's vital in keeping the troopers going. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic007 In fact I have a new idea I'm confident will help morale. But if I told the troopers, it would likely fall on deaf ears. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic007 I'd have better luck with the Legion's ears. Heh, get it? Legion ears? vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic008 Haven't started it yet. Are you interested to hear about it now? vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic008 You ready to participate? vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic009 About the shortage of Hydra right? We all have our own ways to deal with this place. Me, I sometimes walk at night. Calms the nerves. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic009 I think Private Stone does the same thing. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic010 It's a long story. Let's just say whiskey makes you do strange things to impress a girl. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic010 But it also leads to some of my best competition ideas. Wanna hear one? vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic011 Great! Don't be surprised if you're already last when you return. If I'm right, the troopers will use any excuse to slaughter Legion scum. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic011 Can I help you with anything else? vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic012 Yeah it was a crazy idea. Did you need anything else? vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic013 The best it's been since the camp started. All because of you. So thanks, buddy! vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic013 It's showing improvement. Troopers aren't showing up late to their posts anymore. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic013 Lower than a Feral Ghoul's IQ. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic014 I sometimes see him wandering around the camp. Though he seems to need more time to himself. His cot's still empty when I return after midnight. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic014 Did you need anything else? vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic015 Glad to help. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic016 That bad huh? Well at least I tried. The actual idea is better. It's a Legion hunt. Whoever kills the most wins. How about it? vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic017 Straight to the point. I like that. What I propose is a Legion hunt. Troopers kill them anyway so why not make it a game. What do you say? vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic020 Alright fine. Is there anything you do care about? vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic021 Alright calm down buddy. I don't wanna provoke you. I'll let you ask the questions. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic022 Yeah it was bad. I'll leave the comedy alone. So how about it? vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic023 Yep. Been waiting for a chance to use it. So can I count you in? vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic024 Great! Don't be surprised if you're already last when you return. If I'm right, the troopers will use any excuse to slaughter Legion scum. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic024 Can I help you with anything else? vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic025 That's a shame. Well if you change your mind, let me know. Need anything else? vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic028 Well don't let me stop you then. vFreeformForlornHope03VCFHJamesSextonTopic029 Know what? I'm going to sign you up anyway. If you don't mind being last then there's not much else I can say. Any questions? VFreeformFreeside2VFSEDEScientistTopic000 There are plenty of people here to talk to you about us and our mission. Let's get to brass tacks and talk about that robot. VFreeformFreeside2VFSEDEScientistTopic002 I've heard through our channels that it has some research that may be related to Enclave and Poseidon Energy technology. VFreeformFreeside2VFSEDEScientistTopic002 I'd like to get what I can from it and use that data for the good of humanity... ALL of humanity, unlike the Brotherhood. VFreeformFreeside2VFSEDEScientistTopic003 First I'm going to pull off whatever log data I can. Then, I'll use some of the tech around here to upgrade its weapons systems. VFreeformFreeside2VFSEDEScientistTopic003 Shouldn't be more than a few days work. VFreeformFreeside2VFSEDEScientistTopic004 Thank you. I'll get it back to you as soon as I can with the upgraded weapons systems. VFreeformFreeside2VFSEDEScientistTopic006 The Brotherhood{Spoke with distain} is all about keeping technology to themselves, and using what they find to protect themselves. VFreeformFreeside2VFSEDEScientistTopic006 They are isolationist and belligerent. I have no doubt that they plan to use the data for weapons research. VFreeformFreesideFSCalebMcCafferyTopic000 {Cold}Be quick and quiet, and don't get dead. VFreeformFreesideFSCalebMcCafferyTopic000 {Annoyed}Do I look like a career counselor, kid? Get lost. VFreeformFreesideFSCalebMcCafferyTopic001 {Irritated}You've got a mouth on you, kid. If I weren't busy working for the Garrets, I might give you a few lessons in common courtesy. Get lost. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic000 We've got liquor, chems, and whores a plenty. Pick your fix and we'll oblige. Our only rule is no sampling the merchandise. Caps paid in advance. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic000 If you'd like to do a bit of gambling, we have an exchange at the back of the casino on the left. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic001 Caps up front. We don't do tabs here. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic002 Since you're new, I'll lay out the rules for you. The prostitutes here aren't slaves. They decide who they service. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic002 You best make a good first impression if you want what they have to offer. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic002 Rooms are just a few caps a night. Your choice of company is extra, assuming anyone's taken a liking to you. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic002 Rooms are just a few caps a night. Your choice of company is extra, assuming anyone's taken a liking to you. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic003 Great. There are three people who need to be tracked down, a real mixed basket of fruits. Their names are Grecks, Santiago, and Lady Jane. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic003 James tells me you already handled Santiago by getting him to work for us. We'll just garnish his wages. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic003 Great. There are three people who need to be tracked down, a real mixed basket of fruits. Their names are Grecks, Santiago, and Lady Jane. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic005 Just a few caps and it's yours. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic005 You already own the corner room. You don't need to rent another. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic005 You're already renting a room. Sorry, but you can only rent one room at a time. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic006 Up the steps, last room on the left. If you leave the Wrangler, we'll assume you're checking out. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic006 Caps up front. We don't do tabs here. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic007 Alright. What can I get you, then? VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic010 I have some work I need handled. Back before we instituted the caps up front rule, we used to allow customers tabs. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic010 Well, needless to say, a few customers snuck out without paying their bills. We need someone to collect. The job would pay a percentage. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic010 Well, with Caleb McCaffery dead, it looks like we could use a new bounty hunter. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic010 I have some work I need handled. Back before we instituted the caps up front rule, we used to allow customers tabs. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic010 Well, needless to say, a few customers snuck out without paying their bills. We need someone to collect. The job would pay a percentage. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic011 I'd prefer you not kill anyone with a debt. It's a bit difficult to collect on a corpse. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic011 Just get the caps from them. After that, I couldn't care less what happens to those deadbeats. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic013 If you bring all of their debts back, we'll give you a cut of each. 25% is more than fair. It would add up to 150 caps if you bring them all in. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic014 Fair enough. Anything else you need? I'm a busy woman. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic015 Great. There are three people who need to be tracked down, a real mixed basket of fruits. Their names are Grecks, Santiago, and Lady Jane. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic015 James tells me you already handled Santiago by getting him to work for us. We'll just garnish his wages. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic015 Great. There are three people who need to be tracked down, a real mixed basket of fruits. Their names are Grecks, Santiago, and Lady Jane. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic016 [SUCCEEDED] Alright. 50/50 it is, but you better bring back all of the caps. If we hear you crossed us, the next bounty hunter will be coming for you. VFreeformFreesideFSFrancineGarretTopic016 [FAILED] Who the hell do you think you're talking to? Keep talking like that and your ass is going to be in the gutter. 25%. Take it or leave it. VFreeformFreesideFSJulieFarkasTopic000 Rates of injury and illness in Freeside are very high. Supplies don't last long. VFreeformFreesideFSJulieFarkasTopic003 Med-X, Rad-Away, and Fixer are Freeside essentials. I can't pay you for any supplies you bring in, but I could discount the charge for our services. VFreeformFreesideFSJulieFarkasTopic004 Just come see me when you've got some supplies to turn in. VFreeformFreesideFSJulieFarkasTopic007 That's too bad. If you change your mind, let me know. VFreeformFreesideFSPacerTopic000 Who's the King? You believe this asshole, man? VFreeformFreesideFSPacerTopic000 In Freeside, the Kings rule. And the King rules the Kings. Got it? VFreeformFreesideFSPacerTopic001 Anything's possible, I suppose. How much is it worth to you to meet the big man? VFreeformFreesideFSPacerTopic003 Whatever. VFreeformFreesideFSPacerTopic014 What, do I look like a beggar to you? Take a hike, cheapskate. VFreeformFreesideFSPacerTopic015 You know what? I think you and the King have some business to discuss. VFreeformFreesideFSPacerTopic015 Head on through. The King's the bored-looking guy by the stage. Can't fuckin' miss him. VFreeformFreesideFSPacerTopic016 Whoa. I mean, yeah, that should do. The King will see you now. VFreeformFreesideFSPacerTopic016 Head on through. He's the bored-looking guy by the stage. Can't fuckin' miss him. VFreeformFreesideFSPacerTopic023 Sounds about right. VFreeformFreesideFSTheKingTopic000 That's Pace for you. He means well, but he doesn't like strangers. Here, to make amends. VFreeformFreesideFSTheKingTopic000 Now, what can I do for you? VFreeformFreesideTopic002 Like he helped the envoy we sent? No thanks. VFreeformFreesideTopic003 The name's Old Ben. I've been living in Freeside since the day I was born. VFreeformFreesideTopic004 Those bots are programmed to vaporize anyone who enters the fenced-in area without authorization from the greeter. VFreeformFreesideVFSBaitThugTopic000 The last person stupid enough to follow me down this alley. Get this fool, boys! VFreeformFreesideVFSBaitThugTopic001 Nah, just some idiot that wandered down the wrong alley. Sound familiar? VFreeformFreesideVFSBaitThugTopic002 What's your rush? The boys and I here want to get to know you better. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatriceRussellTopic000 They already have that pig McCaffery working for them. Do they need another guard? VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatriceRussellTopic000 Still trying to convince me, huh? VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic000 Feed a man for free, and he'll be back asking for more. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic000 Feed a man a bullet. You won't hear from him again. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic000 Good, bad... The guy with the gun makes the rules. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic000 Time you enjoy wasting isn�t wasted time. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic000 The only thing I know for certain is that I don�t know nothing. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic000 Longing makes the heart grow fonder, but I�ve always been a fan of hog-tying my lovers to make sure they can�t escape. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic001 What do you have in mind? VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] Now you're talking. I suppose I could sleaze it up a bit for their customers if it means I have a non-stop supply of drink. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic003 Tell the Garrets I'm in. I'll make my way there shortly. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic003 [FAILED] I don't need caps that bad. A hard day's labor pays well enough. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic004 Hey, who doesn't enjoy a little pinch and squeal every once in a while? VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic005 I've never been much of a showboat, or cared about being a public figure. I'm plenty content with caps for an honest hard day's work. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic006 What do you have in mind? VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic007 I've been around a while. Currently working for the Followers as a gun for hire, but it's getting rather dull. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic007 Aside from protecting them from the occasional thug looking to intercept supply shipments, there isn't much to do around here. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic007 The one researcher I liked who I could chat up about liquor got transferred, and the rest of the docs are pretty uptight about my kind of fun. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic008 And I may have answers. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic010 Goodbye. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic015 What starts in misery tends to stay there. Freeside wasn't Freeside until six or seven years ago. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic015 That's when Mr. House's robots rolled out of the Lucky 38 and started pushing everyone who wouldn't join him off the Strip. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic015 Lots of folks died. Some scattered to the winds. The rest wound up in Freeside and seem never to lose the habit of living like refugees. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic016 I joined up looking for a decent-paying job. Granted, the pay is all right, but they won't let me kick back and slog a brew at the end of the day. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic016 They're worried the filthy drunkies in detox seeing me drink will cause an immediate relapse. I say their rehab effort here is just a revolving door. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic017 I've been around long enough to observe patterns of human behavior. Physical and mental anguish are especially exciting to explore. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic018 I'm available, sweetie - but you'll have to do as I say. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic018 Then you'll need to get a room first, sweetie. You're going to want the privacy. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic019 Meet me upstairs. I'll try to leave you in one piece. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic020 Suit yourself. Anything else on your mind? VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic021 What about them? Pretty much the sort of gang you'd find anywhere else, just with better clothes. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic021 The King himself, though? He's got that something special you can't put a finger on. Too bad he likes girls with skin. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic022 What did you want to know? VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic023 The locals here are just an inconvenience to them, something to step over or stomp down. They're here for the resources, plain and simple. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic023 I reckon they care about getting water and electricity from the dam, and that's where it ends. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic024 Before or after the human race shot itself in the foot? I been around long enough to have both opinions, see. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic024 Before the war, Mr. House was a famous captain of industry - robotics, to be specific. Seemed charming in interviews, until he became a recluse. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic024 Since the war, though? Didn't make a peep for near two hundred years - but when he came back, he came back strong and killed a lot of people. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic025 I don't know how they do it. They're like saints, those Followers. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic025 If they didn't charge for their services, I'd think they was crazy. But no, they're just naive. Warms your heart. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic026 A couple of Radscorpions, those two. Gloria is the stable one, but she'd slit your throat if there's a profit in it. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic026 Or rather she'd tell her brother to do it for her. Jean Baptiste is one of the sicker humans I've had the displeasure of observing. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic027 I've escorted my share of idiot tourists around Freeside. Too much trouble for what it pays. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic028 I'm all boot knives and leather, friend - and a ghoul, besides. What kind of weirdo wants what I've got? VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic029 Weirdos into bullwhips and necrosis, eh? Doesn't sound half-bad... VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic029 What am I thinking? I'm no whore, and I ain't about to hand my ass over to some penny-ante hustler like he owns me. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic030 [SUCCEEDED] Hmm. They do have a damn good selection of hooch over at the Wrangler. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic030 If I get to choose my customers, if I get to be a little rough with them, if my cut is fair, and if I get that discount? That just might work. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic030 Tell the Garrets I'll stop by to work out terms. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic030 [FAILED] Take your best shot, sweetheart. That's all the action I need. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic032 Then, what do you want? VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic033 What's the difference?! Once you start working for the man, you gotta buy nice things to wear. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic033 Then, you gotta make more money to afford the nice things. Seems like a right vicious cycle to get into. VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic036 Not saying there wouldn't be advantages, especially if it'd let me start saving up my caps... VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic037 Absinthe?! I haven't had a taste of that in decades! VFreeformFreesideVFSBeatrixRussellTopic037 If they keep bottles stocked at the Wrangler, you can count me in. I'll head that way and talk to Mr. Garret. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic000 Goodbye. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic002 Julie? Ah, I love Julie. She's such a nice lady. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic002 One time, I was working on the water pump and she came over, put her hand on my shoulder, and told me I was doing a great job. Great job she says! VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic002 I just choked up and didn't say nothing. Compliments are so rare these days. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic003 Drop drinking?! I've been drinking for a straight month! VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic003 Listen, I've tried to stop, but the withdrawal symptoms are so bad I feel like I'm going to die. I can't stop now. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic004 Dixon sells me booze dirt cheap. It does the job, but it tastes like paint thinner and I feel like I'm going to die if I stop drinking for a day. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic004 I swear that guy is trying to kill me, but what can I do? Drinking other booze doesn't cure the sickness like his. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic006 What the hell? Why? I need alcohol, man! VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic006 I'm gonna die if I don't get a drink! VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic007 The only way you can help me now is a load of detox chems. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic009 At least a couple doses of Fixer, a bottle of whiskey, and Rad-Away. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic009 I can take doses of Fixer and Rad-Away to gradually flush my system over time while drinking decreasing shots of diluted whiskey. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic009 This shit better be worth it, man. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic011 I've felt like I was dying these past weeks off and on, but the worst is yet to come. In a few days though, I should be free. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic011 I'll head over to the Followers and see if they will help me through this. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic011 I've felt like I was dying these past weeks off and on, but the worst is yet to come. In a few days though, I should be free. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic011 I'll head over to the Followers and see if they will help me through this. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic013 Withdrawal could kill me if I don't get them soon. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic016 Fine. If you really care so much, then get me some shots of Fixer to calm down these shakes. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic016 I'm gonna need at least ten shots to get me through the week. From there the Followers should be able to help. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic020 [SUCCEEDED] Oh, Julie... I've really screwed things up. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic020 I'll head over to the fort and get some rest. This has gone on too long. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic020 [FAILED] Sissy?! Real men can hold their liquor, and I'm double-clutching mine! VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic021 [SUCCEEDED] Never thought about using that combination before. Should be able to get through this with that. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic021 [FAILED] No way, the withdrawal symptoms will kill me if I don't have Fixer to flush out the chems. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic022 [SUCCEEDED] Man, you're one hell of an egghead. If you think it'll work, I'll give it a shot. VFreeformFreesideVFSBillRonteTopic022 [FAILED] Oh, I'll be vomiting plenty if you don't get me Fixer. You're worse than that damn dealer. VFreeformFreesideVFSBodyguard01Topic000 If you say so. I already got paid, after all. VFreeformFreesideVFSBodyguard01Topic001 I'm glad that you understand. After you. VFreeformFreesideVFSBodyguard02Topic000 You're either brave or crazy. Either way, I don't care. VFreeformFreesideVFSBodyguard02Topic001 You'll probably be able to think of a few more before you leave, trust me. VFreeformFreesideVFSBodyguard03Topic000 If you're sure, then I guess I'll take my leave. You know where to find me. VFreeformFreesideVFSBodyguard03Topic001 Of course. VFreeformFreesideVFSCalebMcCaffery2Topic000 {Tired and unamused}I'd rather not waste the ammo, kid. But, if you insist, draw. VFreeformFreesideVFSCalebMcCaffery2Topic001 {Annoyed}Now why the hell should I do that? You're below me, kid. VFreeformFreesideVFSCalebMcCaffery2Topic001 {Cold, Deadly serious}I've been killing scum twice your size since before your mother squeezed you out. VFreeformFreesideVFSCalebMcCaffery2Topic002 {Annoyed}Piss off. VFreeformFreesideVFSCalebMcCaffery2Topic003 {Cold, snickering}If you think you've got the guts, I'd like to see you try. VFreeformFreesideVFSCalebMcCaffery2Topic004 [SUCCEEDED] {Amused}Well, that sounds like a bit of a bargain. I get to walk free with the Garrets thinking I'm dead. VFreeformFreesideVFSCalebMcCaffery2Topic004 {Amused}Sure, you can have my hat. I can always buy another with the caps I've got left. VFreeformFreesideVFSCalebMcCaffery2Topic004 {Friendly}It would have been more fun fighting it out, though. See you later, kid. VFreeformFreesideVFSCalebMcCaffery2Topic004 [FAILED]
{Deadly serious}Better get your ass moving before your mouth gets you into trouble, kid.
VFreeformFreesideVFSCalebMcCaffery2Topic005 {Annoyed}Piss off, errand boy. VFreeformFreesideVFSCalebMcCaffery2Topic005 {Annoyed}Piss off, errand girl. VFreeformFreesideVFSCalebMcCafferyTopic000 {Cold}Hunting and killing, plain and simple. VFreeformFreesideVFSCalebMcCafferyTopic003 {Irritated}Bingo. Now if you're done asking stupid questions, I have more important things to do. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtAngeloTopic001 Indeed, Santiago is a poet among pretenders. If you are here to collect for the Garrets, Santiago is debt free. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtAngeloTopic002 Yes indeed, Santiago is very important. I even have a discount at Mick & Ralph's. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtAngeloTopic002 Perhaps you could use Santiago's discount? For 50 caps, Santiago will tell you the super secret code word to get a discount with Mick. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtAngeloTopic003 Santiago thanks you. Tell Mick Santiago sent you and the code word is 'extravaganza'. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtAngeloTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] 25 caps will do. Tell Mick Santiago sent you and the code word is 'extravaganza'. He will set you up. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtAngeloTopic004 [FAILED] Sorry, my friend. 50 caps is the price to be a VIP. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtAngeloTopic005 Sir, Santiago does not know what he has done to offend, but he can explain everything. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtAngeloTopic008 Santiago is offended that you would opine such slander. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtAngeloTopic009 Ow! Okay. Here! Take the caps, just don't hurt Santiago again! VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtAngeloTopic010 [SUCCEEDED] I didn't think she was upset enough to have me killed... Here are the caps I owe. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtAngeloTopic010 I do the Santiago act to get out of paying for services every once in a while. I didn't think it could possibly get me killed. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtAngeloTopic010 [FAILED]You think Santiago is susceptible to such idle threats? Santiago laughs at your silly bluff. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtAngeloTopic011 [SUCCEEDED] When did this happen?! Hey, look. I only do the Santiago bit as a way of getting free stuff. I didn't think it would get me in trouble. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtAngeloTopic011 Here is everything I have on me. Keep the extra for yourself! The last thing I need is a constant stream of bounty hunters after me. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtAngeloTopic011 [FAILED] You are not a VIP. You do not tell Santiago what he needs to do. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtAngeloTopic011 Leave me now. Santiago grows bored of this exchange. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtAngeloTopic012 Here are the caps I owe! No need for violence! VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtGrecksTopic000 That all depends on who's asking. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtGrecksTopic002 Ow! What the hell was that for?! VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtGrecksTopic003 Whoa, yeah. I guess the Garrets sent you after me? Look, I've got the caps right here, just don't hurt me. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtGrecksTopic004 Ah crap. I was hoping they'd forget about my tab. Look, I've got the caps right here, just don't hurt me. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtGrecksTopic006 Interest?! The Garrets said nothing about interest on their tabs. Look man, I've got the caps right here, just don't hurt me. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtGrecksTopic007 [SUCCEEDED] Okay! Here. That's everything I've got except the clothes on my back. I'm sorry about this. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtGrecksTopic007 [FAILED] Hey, I'm tapped out, man. I've got nothing left but the clothes on my back. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtGrecksTopic008 I won't. Thanks for not killing me. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtGrecksTopic009 Oh God! Help! Help! VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtGrecksTopic010 [SUCCEEDED] Anything, take it! Just don't kill me, man! VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtGrecksTopic010 [FAILED] You're freaking crazy. I'm not stripping for you. I'm already broke. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtGrecksTopic011 See you. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtGrecksTopic013 What? Thank you Mr. Obvious. I haven't heard that in a while. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtGrecksTopic013 What? Thank you Mrs. Obvious. I haven't heard that in a while. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtGrecksTopic014
My eye? A scum-humping water baron did this to me. No one talks trash about my eye.
VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtGrecksTopic015 That's it! No one insults the eye! VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtGrecksTopic017
A scum-humping water baron did this to me. No one trash-talks the eye.
VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic001 But what about those nasty critters? VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic001 But, what about the R O U S's? VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic005 In that case, I suppose you're here to collect. I apologize, but I simply do not have enough caps on me to cover the debt. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic005 If someone were to recover my caravan from that cave, I could easily pay in full, but who would bother with such a mess? VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic007 [SUCCEEDED] I'm short 90 caps or so, but I have a few cartons of cigarettes and some sensor modules I could put toward my debt. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic007 At this point I'll have to return to California to start anew. I haven't got a cap to my name. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic007 [FAILED] I don't even have enough caps to get a new caravan up and running. What makes you think I have enough to afford anything else of value? VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic008 Very well, but please do be careful. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic008 I will be returning to California to start anew. If anything is left of the caravan, please keep it as a show of thanks for your kindness. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic008 It is so rare to meet good friendly people in the wastes. Here is the last location of the caravan. Good luck. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic010 Goodbye. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic011 I haven't the time to speak to commoners such as yourself. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic012 Where would I go? My caravan is lost and I haven't the caps to do much else. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic015 Oh I assure you, sir, they are very real and very large. Please do be careful. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic015 I will be returning to California to start anew. If anything is left of the caravan, please keep it as a show of thanks for your kindness. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic015 It is so rare to meet good friendly people in the wastes. Here is the last location of the caravan. Good luck. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic016 [SUCCEEDED] I'm short 90 caps or so, but I have a few cartons of cigarettes and some sensor modules I could put toward my debt. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic016 At this point I'll have to return to California to start anew. I haven't got a cap to my name. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic016 [FAILED] I don't even have enough caps to get a new caravan up and running. What makes you think I have enough to afford anything else of value? VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic017 Hey, you don't need to kill me. I'm going back to California to start over. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic017 Just tell them you killed me and they won't be the wiser. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic018 Oh God, no! VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic019 I swear they'll never see me again. After this experience, I want nothing to do with this hell hole. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic019 I'll get started now. The last thing I need is more bounty hunters trying to track me down. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic021 [SUCCEEDED] Damn. I didn't want to hand over all of my caps because I won't have enough to get home to California. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic021 Here, take it all. I'll find my way home one way or another. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic023 [SUCCEEDED] Oh you charming wonderful hunk of man. I agree, I cannot risk my reputation on such a paltry sum. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic023 Here is what I owe, paid in full. I may scrape a bit to get home to California, but I'm a resourceful woman. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtLadyJaneTopic023 Here is the last known location of my caravan if you feel like looking for it. Until we meet again, handsome. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSanchoTopic000 Santiago does not owe anyone. Santiago is a Freeside VIP. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic000 Santiago knows not of what you speak. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic001 Wait! Here is a full refund! Don't kill me! VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic001 Wait! Here is a full refund! Don't kill me! VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic002 I'm kidding, ha ha! There is no discount. Sorry!... Please don't kill me. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic002 I can give you this tip, though. I have seen a few people go to the pawn shop then somehow get through the south gate to Vegas without caps. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic002 Coincidence? I think not. Ralph and Mick have something going on there, but they refuse to let me in on it. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic002 I appologize, friend, but that is absurd given the value of this information. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] 25 caps will do. Tell Mick Santiago sent you and the code word is 'extravaganza'. He will set you up. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic003 [FAILED] Sorry, my friend. 50 caps is the price to be a VIP. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic004 Sir, Santiago told you. Santiago has no debts. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic005 No! Don't! VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic006 You won't! I'll be clean as a whistle! VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic007 [SUCCEEDED] Here, I'll pay you back extra! I'm sorry! VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic007 [SUCCEEDED] Here, I'll pay you back extra! I'm sorry! VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic007 [FAILED] I don't have any more than that to give! I'm sorry! VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic010 Goodbye. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic011 I'm honored they would consider me. I'll start immediately. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic012 Santiago is here to please, my prarie flower. Just a few caps and I'm yours. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic012 Santiago is sorry, but you must have a room first. Please see Ms. Garret to procure lodging. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic013 I'll meet you upstairs in a moment, darling. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic014 Your loss, my friend. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic015 How do you suggest Santiago does this? VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic017 It is a dream come true. Santiago never thought he could work in such a wonderous den of vice and iniquity. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic018 Goodbye. VFreeformFreesideVFSDebtSantiagoTopic019 Goodbye. VFreeformFreesideVFSElizabethKieranTopic007 It's not something I'm willing to discuss. Now if you'll excuse me, there are other people waiting. VFreeformFreesideVFSFistoTopic000 Yes, sir. Fisto reporting for duty. VFreeformFreesideVFSFistoTopic000 Please assume the position. VFreeformFreesideVFSFistoTopic000 Yes, ma'am. Fisto reporting for duty. VFreeformFreesideVFSFistoTopic000 Please assume the position. VFreeformFreesideVFSFistoTopic001 I am programmed for your pleasure. Please assume the position. VFreeformFreesideVFSFistoTopic002 Fisto will report to the Atomic Wrangler for further orders. VFreeformFreesideVFSFistoTopic003 Servos active! VFreeformFreesideVFSFistoTopic004 Yes, sir! VFreeformFreesideVFSFistoTopic004 Yes, ma'am! VFreeformFreesideVFSFistoTopic005 Are you uncomfortable? My servos may require adjustment. VFreeformFreesideVFSFistoTopic006 I will require a hardware and software upgrade to offer enhanced services. VFreeformFreesideVFSFistoTopic008 Excellent. Awaiting further orders. VFreeformFreesideVFSFistoTopic010 Numbness will subside in several minutes. Awaiting further orders. VFreeformFreesideVFSFistoTopic011 That will be 10 caps, please. VFreeformFreesideVFSFistoTopic011 I am sorry, but you must procure a room first. Please return when you have lodging arranged. VFreeformFreesideVFSFistoTopic012 Thank you. I will meet you in your room. VFreeformFreesideVFSFistoTopic014 Servos active! VFreeformFreesideVFSFistoTopic015 Very well. Please return if you require further service. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic000 I don't care how you handled those lumps of human refuse, but you got the job done. We need you to hunt down another person. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic000 That son of a bitch McCaffery stole a ton of caps and ran off to Vegas. I guess the fact that we farmed out his usual work to you pissed him off. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic000 No one steals from the Garret Twins! If you can kill that bastard and bring back as much as you can, you'll be paid very well.

I'm expecting 388 caps... VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic000 You're short. Come back when you have the rest. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic000 It doesn't look like it to me. I'm expecting 600 caps... VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic000 You're short. Come back when you have the rest. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic001 [SUCCEEDED] All right. 50/50 it is, but you better bring back all of the caps. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic001 If we hear you crossed us, the next bounty hunter will be coming for you. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic001 [FAILED] Who the hell do you think you're talking to? Keep talking like that and your ass is going to be in the gutter. 25%. Take it or leave it. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic002 See the King. I'm sure he could work something out to get you in. You'll need to prove you're worth his time, but it'll be well worth it. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic003 Good. Just stop on back when he's dead and you'll be rewarded handsomely. Bring his hat as proof of the kill. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic004 Just bring back his hat if you decide to take care of him for us. He stole 2,000 caps. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic004 I doubt much of that will be on him if you find him. If you kill him, keep whatever is on him, and I'll reward you for his hat. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic005 Yes! Where is his hat?! VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic006 This is great news. No one screws with the Garret Twins and gets away with it. I need to find a place on the wall for this. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic006 And for your reward... Here's 150 caps. I trust there were also some valuables on McCaffery. Also, we would like to set you up with a room. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic006 You can have the corner room, rent free. It was McCaffery's. Now that he's dead, we're happy to let you use it. Thanks for helping us. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic007 Interesting... Well, you're going to need to speak with my brother James. He handles all of the trading contracts and general operations. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic008 [SUCCEEDED] Alright. 50/50 it is, but you better bring back all of the caps. If we hear you crossed us, the next bounty hunter will be coming for you. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic008 [FAILED] Who the hell do you think you're talking to? Keep talking like that and your ass is going to be in the gutter. 25%. Take it or leave it. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic009 I don't care how you handled those lumps of human refuse, but you got the job done. We need you to hunt down another person.

Thanks for helping us. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic011 Goodbye. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic012 Grecks is a bit cracked, but mostly harmless. Just don't mention anything about his lazy eye. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic012 He owes 138 caps and should still be around Freeside. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic013 Lady Jane fancies herself a high roller, but she's just another dirtbag NCR prospector. I'm not sure where to find her. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic013 I hear she's run goods for the Followers of the Apocalypse in the past, but other locals might know more. She owes us 250 caps. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic014 Santiago is a suave son of a bitch, but a total pansy when it comes to fisticuffs. He owes 212 caps and should be around Freeside as well. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic015 Anything else you need? VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic016 [SUCCEEDED] All right. 50/50 it is, but you better bring back all of the caps. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic016 If we hear you crossed us, the next bounty hunter will be coming for you. VFreeformFreesideVFSFrancineGarretTopic016 [FAILED] Who the hell do you think you're talking to? Keep talking like that and your ass is going to be in the gutter. 25%. Take it or leave it. VFreeformFreesideVFSGenaroTopic000 You won't regret it. At least until an hour or so from now. VFreeformFreesideVFSGenaroTopic001 You'll be back. VFreeformFreesideVFSGenaroTopic002 Typically, I find it goes down better if I leave people guessing. So what do you say, want some? VFreeformFreesideVFSGenaroTopic003 I have my little helpers out and about, always looking for fresh things to add to the stewpot. VFreeformFreesideVFSGenaroTopic003 You may have seen them around somewhere yourself. Now, deny your hunger no longer! VFreeformFreesideVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic000 Of course. VFreeformFreesideVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic001 Please let me know if anything catches your eye. VFreeformFreesideVFSHighTimesDealerTopic000 Yeah, man. Those cats are out of their domes addicted to my shit. They can't get enough. Pretty hilarious to watch. VFreeformFreesideVFSHighTimesDealerTopic001 Have a look, baby. VFreeformFreesideVFSHighTimesDealerTopic006 Really? Aw, you're such a saint. VFreeformFreesideVFSHighTimesDealerTopic006 You know what? I might be willing to stop if there is something in it for me. VFreeformFreesideVFSHighTimesDealerTopic007 300 caps and I'll stop selling to them. Otherwise, it is just too much fun watching them spiral downward. VFreeformFreesideVFSHighTimesDealerTopic008 Ooo, I always enjoy a good scrap! VFreeformFreesideVFSHighTimesDealerTopic009 Hey, nice doing business with you, Mr. Moneybags. VFreeformFreesideVFSHighTimesDealerTopic009 Good luck getting them healthy. If they don't get a whole lot of fixer soon, withdrawal will kill them. VFreeformFreesideVFSHighTimesDealerTopic009 Hey, nice doing business with you, Mrs. Moneybags. VFreeformFreesideVFSHighTimesDealerTopic009 Good luck getting them healthy. If they don't get a whole lot of fixer soon, withdrawal will kill them. VFreeformFreesideVFSHighTimesDealerTopic010 [SUCCEEDED] Wait, man! You can't go around saying shit like that! VFreeformFreesideVFSHighTimesDealerTopic010 Okay, I get your point. You won't have to worry about me supplying those two any more. VFreeformFreesideVFSHighTimesDealerTopic010 [FAILED] Wow, you really suck at this don't you? Go bully some molerats, jackass. VFreeformFreesideVFSHighTimesDealerTopic011 Heh, you sorry sad sack. Come back when you've got the caps. VFreeformFreesideVFSHighTimesDealerTopic013DUPLICATE000 Those fools are from NCR. I love seeing those squatters in agony. VFreeformFreesideVFSHighTimesDealerTopic013DUPLICATE000 We were doing just fine before those shits came here and made a mess of things. We don't need NCR eggheads wandering around confusing things. VFreeformFreesideVFSJacobHoffTopic000 Goodbye. VFreeformFreesideVFSJacobHoffTopic002 Julie is a saint, but I don't need help. I feel young and strong, as long as I get my chems. VFreeformFreesideVFSJacobHoffTopic003 Why stop? I feel great! VFreeformFreesideVFSJacobHoffTopic003 No worries. My guy will be here soon enough, just wait. VFreeformFreesideVFSJacobHoffTopic004 Thank God! I thought I was going to die if you didn't come back soon. VFreeformFreesideVFSJacobHoffTopic004 I'm going to head to the Followers' fort to get some rest and detox. You've saved my life, friend. VFreeformFreesideVFSJacobHoffTopic004 Thank God! I thought I was going to die if you didn't come back soon. VFreeformFreesideVFSJacobHoffTopic004 I'm going to head to the Followers' fort to get some rest and detox. You've saved my life, friend. VFreeformFreesideVFSJacobHoffTopic005 What?! I need a fix now! VFreeformFreesideVFSJacobHoffTopic007 If I had two caps to scrape together I'd buy the materials to make my own, but my damn hands won't stop shaking. VFreeformFreesideVFSJacobHoffTopic007 This guy named Dixon. Something about him seems sketchy, but I can't stop now. Last time I stopped, I felt like I was going to turn inside out. VFreeformFreesideVFSJacobHoffTopic007 At this point, I'm mostly buying his stuff just so I don't feel sick. Speaking of which, do you have any spare caps? VFreeformFreesideVFSJacobHoffTopic010 [SUCCEEDED] I think you're right. I've been through worse. I'll go to the fort and see if the Followers can watch over me while I recover. VFreeformFreesideVFSJacobHoffTopic010 [FAILED] Get the hell out of here. Think you're one of the Followers of the Apocalypse or something? VFreeformFreesideVFSJacobHoffTopic011 {Desparate}Please, find them soon. I can already feel the withdrawal effects taking hold. VFreeformFreesideVFSJacobHoffTopic012 I haven't been anywhere but here for... well, who the hell knows? If there's a corpse I haven't been babysitting it. VFreeformFreesideVFSJacobHoffTopic012 But I'll tell you who needs some babysitting. Those damn kids keep running around in here. VFreeformFreesideVFSJacobHoffTopic012 They got parents? I don't know. Wish they did so they'd leave me be. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic000 Really now? This is news. We could possibly supply what they need, but they would need to supply us in kind. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic000 They have the tech know-how to make our stills work more efficiently. Purer alcohol means we can get our customers drunk quicker. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic000 Getting our customers drunk quicker means more caps spent at the tables and stuffing slots if you know what I mean. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic000 Plus, the extra alcohol can serve as surgical disinfectant for their needs. The Followers are a good lot. They've stitched up our boys in the past. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic001 Good. We can supply them with all the Med-X they need. For the Fixer, we'll only be able to send over some basic drug components. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic001 We're not in the business of getting people off drugs, so we don't really dabble in that side of things. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic001 The Followers should be able to whip some up with what we have available, though. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic001 They just need to agree to fix up our stills and keep them maintained plus cover the cost for raw materials needed to make the alcohol. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic002 Sure. Take a look. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic002 Not for someone like you. My customers would shit a brick if they knew I sold anything to you. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic002 If you need help cleaning up your rep around Freeside, I might be able to help... for a price. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic003 Hey, that's great. We'll get some supplies sent over today as a show of good faith. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic003 Once our stills are upgraded, we'll never be short on liquor for our patrons. If Jacob Hoff is sober, we might even have a few new drinks on tap. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic003 Most might view us as drug dealing enablers around here, but honestly we care about our patrons. It's bad business for people to get addicted. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic003 We've got enough crime in Freeside without a bunch of strung-out junkies robbing traders and gamblers to afford their next fix. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic004 House may have boxed us out of the Strip, but we also don't have to deal with their bullshit. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic004 I think now that the Followers are working with us, we'll be able to shape up Freeside a bit more. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic004 With Jacob Hoff sobered up, there are new drinks are on the menu and sales are strong. People love the new Absinthe and Rum & Nuka. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic004 Well, I wasn't expecting the increased NCR presence after the bombing to improve things, but I've been pleasantly surprised. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic004 The off-duty chumps who have been wandering through have been stopping in to buy drinks and pay for strange. I appreciate the extra income. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic004 The build-up of tension around the dam isn't making things safe, but it sure is bringing in a lot of hotheads looking to drink their worries away. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic004 With the Kings dead, business is going a bit south. It's harder to get supplies into Freeside safely without their help. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic004 We ain't scraping to get by, if that's what you're asking. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic005 We've got the basics covered, but now that you mention it, we have had {draw out}unusual requests from some of our wealthier customers. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic005 If you can recruit escorts to match these customers'... proclivities... I'd be willing to pay you finder's fees. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic005 I still need those escorts if you're interested. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic006 Our wealthiest client has a thing for ghouls, and a thing for cowboys. He wants an escort who can satisfy both fetishes. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic006 Plenty of customers have said they'd be willing to pay extra for a suave talker, someone who can fake the boyfriend experience" real good." VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic006 And then there's these disgusting robot fetishists you may have heard about? Well, those creeps want a sexbot. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic006 Have you ever run across a sexbot? Not that I'd ever want one within 100 feet of me - but I gotta be a businessman about it. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic007 Come on back and see me if you change your mind. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic008 Just direct them to the Wrangler. I'll pay you when they show up. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic009 Oh, I'd still be the pimp - you'd just be my pissant recruiter is all. Let me know if you change your mind. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic010 Just don't rough up the merchandise before delivery - you break it, you bought it. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic014 [SUCCEEDED] Okay, you've got yourself a deal. Find escorts to fill the positions and I'll pay double. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic014 [FAILED] Sorry, double is out of the question. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic015 [SUCCEEDED] Okay, you've got yourself a deal. Find escorts to fill the positions and I'll pay double. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic015 [FAILED] Sorry, but that is the best I can do. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic016 You did? Hot damn! I been looking for one of those for years! VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic016 {embarassed}For my customers, I mean... I'm not into that kind of shit. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic017 {thrilled}It is? It will? My god! Imagine the possibilities! VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic017 It didn't happen to come with an owner's manual, did it? {waving it off}Aw, forget it - {looking forward to it}trial and error should do it. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic017 Looks like that gives us a full roster of new ass to sell. Good work - enjoy the bonus. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic017 {thrilled}}It is? It will?

VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic018 {Curious}For the right caps I might be able to put in a good word or let people know you're not such a bad guy. What do you have in mind? VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic019 [SUCCEEDED] Hey, I'm amazed you even found the thing in the first place. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic019 Here is double for your trouble. Those freaky fetishists ought to be satisfied now. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic019 [SUCCEEDED] Hey, I'm amazed you even found the thing in the first place. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic019 Here is double for your trouble. Those freaky fetishists ought to be satisfied now. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic019 [FAILED] I don't think so. We agreed to a price, and that's what you're getting. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic020 [SUCCEEDED] You're right, you're right! Something like this, it's worth a little extra because it's going to keep on satisfying you... VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic020 {embarrassed cough}Those disgusting fetishists, I mean. Something wrong with someone if they got to fuck a machine. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic020 [SUCCEEDED] You're right, you're right!

They wear out on you, at the worst possible moment! VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic020 {embarrassed cough}So say those disgusting fetishists, anyway. Something wrong with someone if they got to fuck a machine. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic021 All right, you let your caps do the talking. How much exactly are you looking for the locals to forget? VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic021 Sorry, bub, but I'm fresh out of ideas. I've done all I can to scrub up your rep around here. What's done is done. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic022 All right, I can chat you up, but it is going to cost you. I'm not risking my reputation around here for nothing. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic022 Sorry, chum, but I've done all I can to chat you up to the locals. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic023 And who would that be? VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic024 That honey-mouthed sonofabitch? Fine. At least he'll have to shut up occasionally. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic024 Those pretty lips of his are going to see more traffic than a Brahmin trail in low summer!

I guess the customer who made that request can't get {emph}everything he wants. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic026 Hell, who knows? He might not even notice the difference.

He might not even notice the difference. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic028 Goodbye. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic029 What do you need, then? VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic030 Very well, I'll let the townsfolk know you had your reasons, and convince them they were of the most benevolent means. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic030 Okay, I'll reassure the townies your intentions are good, but if you keep it up, they aren't going to believe me in the future. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic031 You've got yourself a deal. I'll let the townsfolk know some ill-tempered goon has been spreading nasty rumors about you. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic031 All right, but this is the last time I can use this line with the townies. I can only discredit so many people. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic032 This'll take some work, but I'm sure I can convince them you were off your rocker in the past and you've changed your ways. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic032 However, this is a once-only affair. Screw me once, shame on you, and all that jazz. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic032 People aren't going to believe me if you go on another spree and claim the Devil made you do it. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic033 Great, I'll let the townsfolk know you help old ladies across the street and do your best to keep the town clean if you notice litter. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic033 Okay, I'll tell the locals you've been keeping an eye on local thugs as a sort of neighborhood watch. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic033 I'll see what I can do, but there isn't much more I can say about you that won't require more caps. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic034 That'll do nicely. I'll spin some stories about how you stopped a mugging or two and saved a kid's pet rat from certain doom! VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic034 Thanks, I'll spin up some tales of you slaying some nasty critters infesting some of the local homes and donating the leftovers to charity. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic034 Okay, but this is the last story I can tell without a bigger risk to my rep. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic034 I'll tell them you took out a band of NCR raiders planning to rob locals as they left Freeside. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic035 That'll do nicely. I'll spin some stories about how you stopped a mugging or two and saved a kid's pet rat from certain doom! VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic035 Thanks, I'll spin up some tales of you slaying some nasty critters infesting some of the local homes and donating the leftovers to charity.

VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic035 I'll tell them you took out a band of NCR raiders planning to rob locals as they left Freeside. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic036 I've heard stories of that old guy. I'm amazed he's still alive with how much he's been through. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic036 If the stories are true, he'll be a valuable commodity here at the Wrangler. I appreciate the find. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic036 Looks like that gives us a full roster of new ass to sell. Good work - enjoy the bonus.

VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic037 Great, this is going to require an epic tale of heroism... VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic037 I've got it! I'll say you slew a nest of Deathclaws living in the sewers! It was bloody work, but you waded through the pack like a man possessed! VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic037 Just to make this clear, I can only spin a whopper this big once. There's only so much people will believe before they see through the bullshit. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic038 Suit yourself. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic040 The best place to start would be with Ralph at Mick & Ralph's over on the east end of Freeside. Other than that, your guess is as good as mine. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic041 That's unfortunate, but it's not like we're losing any existing business over it. Thanks for looking. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic041 That's unfortunate, but it's not like we're losing any existing business over it. Thanks for looking.

VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic041 That's unfortunate, but it's not like we're losing any existing business over it. Thanks for looking. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic042 [SUCCEEDED] Oh all right. You did the legwork, so I suppose you deserve a tip. Here. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic042 [FAILED] Here's a tip, kid. If you want to get paid, get the job done to completion. VFreeformFreesideVFSJamesGarretTopic043 Yep, thanks for the help. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic000 That's phenomenal! Who did you find? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic001 They supply Freeside with drugs and liquor. From my point of view they're just better-organized pushers. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic001 Upgrading their stills would increase their supply of liquor and chems. How does that help Freeside? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic002 True, we could help addicts, but the cycle of addiction, recover, and relapse would remain. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic003 Good point. We wouldn't be paying anything for their supplies, just a portion of our food waste to make ethanol. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic003 We get food from nearby wasteland farmers in exchange for medical services, so we could put our caps back into helping Freeside. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic003 Tell the Garrets we'll keep their stills running if they provide us with supplies. Thank you for arranging this. You've been a godsend. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic004 I saw them. Thank you so much for helping them. This means a lot to the Followers of the Apocalypse. You have our thanks. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic004 If you need some medical supplies, come see me. With Jacob working with us, we should be able to spare a stim or fixer once a day. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic004 I saw Bill, but found Jacob Dead. His death will be a big loss for Freeside. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic004 Thank you for helping Bill. At least he will help repair things around here. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic004 I saw Jacob, but found Bill dead... His death will be a big loss for Freeside. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic004 If you need some medical supplies, come see me. With Jacob working with us, we should be able to spare a stim or fixer once a day. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic004 No you didn't! They're both dead! VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic004 I don't know what you're pulling here, but this is not the way to win us over. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic005 Yes, Old Bill Ronte and Jacob Hoff. They're not going to kick their habits on their own. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic006 Old Bill Ronte is an exceptionally skilled machinist. He could fix the problems we've been having with Freeside's water pump, if he sobered up. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic007 The Garrets hooked Jacob on chems when he was working for them. Ironic, since he used to homebrew detox chems. He's a natural chemist. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic008 The big man around here is The King. Not much happens in Freeside that he doesn't know about. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic008 He has the most influence locally, and some of his crew haven't helped the situation by harassing NCR citizens and charging double for water. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic008 Some NCR soldiers have been bringing in supplies, but none of it is going to Freeside locals. I've tried to speak to both sides to no avail. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic009 Excellent! The Followers' mission will be better served with someone like yourself traveling around the Mojave. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic009 As a representative of the Followers, I present you with your very own Lab Coat. Wear it well, and may it aid our cause. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic009 Also, before I forget, here is a key to a safehouse you can use to rest if you happen to be in the area. I'll just mark it mark it on your map. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic010 In Freeside, the drunks and drug addicts flock in and around the Atomic Wrangler. I'd start there. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic011 More than rough, it's a damn mess. Freeside townies are constantly picking fights with NCR civilians. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic011 Thugs and thieves are always looking for a victim, and the local families are just sitting back making caps on the mess. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic011 Freeside is in dire need, but no one has been man enough to step up. The Followers can only do so much to stem the tide. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic012 There is always something needing done. A few souls here in Freeside could be great assets to the community, if they'd kick their addictions. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic012 We need to get a regular supply of medicine organized, but the Crimson Caravan wants too many caps for what we need. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic012 Lastly, tensions between the townies and NCR tourists have been going downhill fast lately. A lot of innocent people will get hurt if things blow up. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic013 Sobering them up and putting them back to work would go a long way toward helping Freeside. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic014 Sure. Would you like a Stimpak, Fixer, or Rad-Away? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic014 Well, now that Jacob is dead, we don't have the extra resources to make a surplus of medical supplies. Sorry, but we cannot spare anything now. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic015 You'll need to wait another 24 hours for us to get more made. We need everything else we currently have. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic016 You'll need to wait another 24 hours for us to get more made. We need everything else we currently have. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic017 You'll need to wait another 24 hours for us to get more made. We need everything else we currently have. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic018 What do you want to talk about? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic019 Rex? It breaks my heart every time I see him. He's such a good dog. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic020 No, Rex's condition is way beyond anything we can handle. He requires brain surgery, and some sophisticated cybernetics work, too. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic021 Yes, a few months ago. We had to tell him there was nothing we could do. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic022 I didn't say that. While no one here has that kind of expertise, I do know of one man who might fit the bill. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic023 There's an old scientist named Dr. Henry who reportedly specializes in this sort of procedure. He'd probably be your best bet. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic023 Last I heard, he was living up in Jacobstown, far to the northwest. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic024 No problem. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic025 What did you want to talk about? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic026 So far the Crimson Caravan won't cut us a deal. If you can convince them or some other merchant to work with us, I'll discount supplies to you. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic027 You might ask around at Mick and Ralph's - or go see the Garrets, though I suspect they're too busy poisoning Freeside to help it out. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic028 All right. You'll get them at a discounted rate, thanks to all the supplies you've donated. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic028 What seems to be the problem? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic028 Anything else? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic029 That would be a godsend, but so far we've had no luck working out a deal with the Crimson Caravan or any other local merchants. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic029 If you could manage to find someone willing to work with us, I'd gladly offer medical supplies at a discount. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic030 Great! What do you have? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic030 Good to hear! Oh, by the way. I got a shipment of magazines from home I'd be willing to sell if you're interested. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic030 It looks like you took care of our short term supply issues. In thanks, you can have a discount on medical services with me. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic030 Also, I would like to extend an invitation to join the Followers of the Apocalypse. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic030 Your work here in the Old Mormon Fort has been invaluable, and I can't think of a more worthy recruit. Will you join us? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic030 Good to hear! What do you have to donate? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic031 It looks like we've got enough Med-X for the moment, but it always helps to be prepared with a backup supply. How much do you have to donate? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic031 How much do you have to donate? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic031 How much do you have to donate? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic032 We have a good stock of Rad-Away at this point, but every extra bit helps. How much do you have to donate? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic032 How much do you have to donate? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic032 How much do you have to donate? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic033 With your help, we now have a small overstock of Fixer, however, it never hurts to have extra. How much do you have to donate? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic033 How much do you have to donate? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic033 How much do you have to donate? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic034 A common enough problem here in Freeside. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic034 You don't show any signs of physical dependency. Nothing I can do for psychological dependency, I'm afraid. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic035 That is unfortunate. If you change your mind, please see me right away. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic036 That's easy enough to clear up. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic036 Who hasn't? But your rad level is nothing dangerous. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic038 This will help you kick the habit. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic039 Anything else? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic040 Hold still. The Rad-Away burns a little. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic042 Thanks! Anything else? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic043 Thanks! Anything else? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic044 Thanks! Anything else? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic045 Thanks! Anything else? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic046 Thanks! Anything else? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic047 Thanks! Anything else? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic048 Thanks! Anything else? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic049 Thanks! Anything else? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic050 Thanks! Anything else? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic051 Thanks for the donation. Every bit goes toward helping Freeside. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic053 I'm honestly pleasantly surprised they would help us out, but I can see Garret isn't doing this out of the goodness of his heart. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic053 Well, it looks like you've earned yourself a discount on supplies now that we'll be fully covered. This supply deal will aid our work immensely. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic054 We're pretty short-handed as it is, but I suppose I could spare a few items. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic055 We don't have a lot right now, but this is what I can offer for sale. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic055 Here is what we have available. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic056 Our aim is to gradually shape a better brighter future for the wasteland. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic056 We seek to heal the planet through efforts not unlike the medicine and education we offer here in the Old Mormon Fort. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic056 All we ask is members and those seeking aid do their best to help those in need when the opportunity arises. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic057 The Old Mormon Fort serves as the regional hub for the Followers of the Apocalypse. I am the administrator for this region. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic058 Take a look. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic059 The Followers of the Apocalypse aren't just interested in research. We care for our fellow man and do everything we can to help humanity. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic059 Here in Freeside, we provide food and medical services for those in need. We have also organized reconstruction efforts. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic059 With the help of Bill Ronte, we were able to install a water pump just west of here, but the Kings quickly took control of the pump. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic060 What did you want to know? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic061 We arose from the Boneyards of Adytum years ago. Since then, we have made it our mission to rebuild the wasteland and reeducate its inhabitants. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic061 We hope to forge a brave new world free of war and poverty by sharing knowledge and resources. Our primary goal is the free exchange of ideas. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic062 Great, did you change your mind? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic064 I'm sure you have your reasons, but we are much too busy to waste our time on those selfish bastards. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic064 Even if we wanted to, we don't have the resources to handle such a monumental task right now. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic064 Unless you can handle our supply shortages, the best we can do is scrape by in here in Freeside. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic064 Why should we support the NCR? Their continual operational incompetence gets their soldiers killed, and they hold a monopoly on water in the mojave. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic065 I'm sure you have your reasons, but we are much too busy to waste our time on those selfish bastards. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic065 Even if we wanted to, we don't have the resources to handle such a monumental task right now. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic065 Unless you can handle our supply shortages, the best we can do is scrape by in here in Freeside. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic065 Why should we support Vegas? They've locked Freeside out of the city and do nothing to help their neighboring townsfolk. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic066 Bill Ronte installed that pump a few years ago, back when he was sober. It was a major improvement for the community. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic066 But lately The Kings have started charging locals to use it - and NCR squatters twice as much. That'll come to no good. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic067 No, but there is still a good chance the NCR could hold them off and we're not equipped to fight a war, here. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic068 They've been Freeside's gang for the past five years or so, ever since Mr. House and his Three Families pushed everyone else out of Vegas. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic068 They've done a lot of good for the community - but that seems to be changing. The flood of NCR squatters has been an affront to them. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic068 I guess that explains the situation with the water pump. Usually The King wouldn't let his crew bully folks around like that. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic069 Wow. Whatever you have planned must be pretty big to give them the boot, but this sounds dangerous. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic069 I refuse to put my people at risk. If the NCR are pushed out, the raiders and other scum will run amok. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic070 But the Followers aren't fighters. We'd get annihilated as front-line medics. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic071 Even if that were the case, we still need more incentive to help Vegas. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic072 In that case, they'll have our support. We cannot afford to let the Legion win. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic074 That is somewhat reassuring, but we still don't have the resources to care for the entire Mojave by ourselves. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic074 We already experience regular supply shortages. Opening our door to the entire region... I don't see how this could ever work. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic075 This will help you kick the habit. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic076 Hold still. The Rad-Away burns a little. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic077 I know they sell a lot of guns - as if that's what Freeside needs. I hear Mick handles the guns. No idea what Ralph does. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic078 Oh, them. They sell energy weapons, which are very popular with better-heeled prospectors looking to explore the wastes. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic078 Stay clear of them. Brother and sister are both psychopaths, though at least Gloria is rational. Jean-Baptiste likes killing. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic079 {shrugging}A den of iniquity. The Garrets do more than their share to keep the locals drunk or high enough to stay lazy. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic079 Their thugs, on the other hand, they keep wired on chems to stay dangerous. What is it with Freeside and brother-sister psychopath teams? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic080 All right. What did you want to know? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic081 I'm sorry, but I can't give you meds for nothing. There are too many people who need these supplies. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic082 Okay, what level of care do you require? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic082 You look fine to me. I hope this isn't drug-seeking behavior... though I've never seen anyone get addicted to Stimpaks. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic083 It is indeed our duty to teach and improve the living conditions of our fellow man, but we're talking an insane amount of logistics to make this work. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic084 Only a little. A friend of mine, Major Elizabeth Kieran, has been handing out supplies to the poor a little west of here. What about it? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic085 That should only take a few seconds if you've got the caps. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic085DUPLICATE000 I know something's got them riled up, but I've been too busy with other matters to really look into it. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic085DUPLICATE000 If you're looking into the matter, talk to Elizabeth. She's in charge of the operations here in Freeside, though she won't open up to you right away. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic085DUPLICATE000 If Elizabeth holds out on you, tell her that I sent you. She should be a little more forthcoming if you mention my name. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic085DUPLICATE000 Was there anything else you wanted to talk about? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic086 There you go. Anything else? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic087 Okay, what did you want to talk about? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic088 Stitching up lacerations and treating wounds will take some time. I'm going to need caps to get started. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic089 You look fine to me. I hope this isn't drug-seeking behavior... though I've never seen anyone get addicted to Stimpaks. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic089 How have you been using the bathroom with your arms that messed up? Oh, forget I asked... phew. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic089 I'm amazed you managed to limp here with your legs like that. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic089 I didn't think red, purple, and swollen was your natural eye color. I can fix that right up. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic089 Did a super mutant use your torso as a punching bag or something? I'm going to need more gauze... VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic089 Okay. This shouldn't take long, but I'm going to need some caps to cover supplies. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic091 You might want to brace yourself. This might get a bit painful. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic092 You might want to brace yourself. This might get a bit painful. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic093 A shot of Med-X for the pain, and you shouldn't feel... well some of what I need to do. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic094 A shot of Med-X for the pain, and you shouldn't feel... well some of what I need to do. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic096 This could take a while. Did you bring caps? VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic097 A shot of Med-X for the pain, and you shouldn't feel... well some of what I need to do. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic098 A shot of Med-X for the pain, and you shouldn't feel... well some of what I need to do. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic099 I think I see now what you intend to set in motion. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic099 If this plan will bring us one step closer to revitalizing the region, you can count on our support. VFreeformFreesideVFSJulieFarkasTopic099 So long as you can keep us supplied, we will stay in the Mojave to provide care and education for those in need. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardEastTopic000 Now you're talking. Here's how it works, I'll keep nearby for the duration of your stay here, and no one messes with you. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardEastTopic000 As soon as you split Freeside, I'm off. Nothin' too complicated. That said, lead the way, chief. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardEastTopic001 That's a shame. Well, come back when you do. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardEastTopic002 Freeside's a rough and tumble place, but it also belongs to the Kings. You have one of us with you, and everyone else'll give you a wide berth. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardEastTopic002 Makes the stroll a bit more leisurely. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardEastTopic003 That's what they all say. At first. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardEastTopic004 Cocky, aren't you? Oh well, your call. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardEastTopic005 Nothing while I'm on the clock. You wanna know about us, head on over to our place. It's the one with the big sign that says The Kings"." VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardEastTopic005 You need anything else? VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardEastTopic006 Lead, and I shall follow. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardNorthTopic000 Great. As long as you're in Freeside, I'll be hanging out by side. It'll be a blast. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardNorthTopic000 But I'm only sticking around as long as you're in Freeside. You leave, and you'll find me gone as well. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardNorthTopic000 So where to? VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardNorthTopic001 Then I guess you're on your own. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardNorthTopic002 Freeside's a little dangerous for people traveling alone or in small groups. You go without a guard, you're rolling the dice, you know? VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardNorthTopic003 You must be new. Your tune'll change, trust me. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardNorthTopic004 Suit yourself. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardNorthTopic005 Whatever you say. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardNorthTopic006 Nothing. I'm working right now. You want to know more, head over to our hangout at the center of town. It's kinda hard to miss. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingBodyguardNorthTopic006 Did you want something else? VFreeformFreesideVFSKingWaterPumpGreeterTopic000 If we let everyone run amok, the damn NCR would shut us down. Gotta have some way to regulate usage. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingWaterPumpGreeterTopic001 Just a few caps for a good long swig. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingWaterPumpGreeterTopic001 You already paid, bub. Get a drink then come back and see me if you still want more. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingWaterPumpGreeterTopic002 Sure thing. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingWaterPumpGreeterTopic003 Don't get wise. We charge per use, so make that first drink worth the caps. VFreeformFreesideVFSKingWaterPumpGreeterTopic004 Anything else you want? VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim02Topic000 I don't really know what else I can add. They were a bunch of guys. Better dressed than most Freesiders, I guess. That help? VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim02Topic001 I don't know, man! Maybe you're with the guys who attacked us and want to know if we can ID them. VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim02Topic001 Nah, they'd probably just come over here and kick our asses again. VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim02Topic002 Well, I don't know anything else. Sorry. VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim02Topic003 Sorry I couldn't help more, especially since you're being so nice. VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim02Topic003 Hey wait! I just remembered something. I might of heard one of the guys that attacked us call another by name. VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim02Topic003 We had just about had it when one of them said Hey Lou VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim02Topic003 Now that I think of it, he said Lou-something. Something with a T". Tenant! That's what he called him. Lou Tenant." VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim02Topic006 What? No! I thought you were supposed to be here to help, and here you are making accusations. VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim02Topic007 Yeah, if he vouches for you, I guess I can trust you. VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim03Topic000 Oh. That's different then. How can I help? I'll do anything to get the bastards that did this. VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim03Topic001 Well, it happened at night. Around eleven. We had recently made some caps off a bit of scrap we found, and wanted to invest it wisely. VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim03Topic001 As we were leaving the Wrangler, we must've taken a wrong turn, and ended up in the Squatter side of town. VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim03Topic001 From out of nowhere, these big guys show up and start barking questions at us. Wanted to know if we were locals. VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim03Topic001 The kid there's about as proud as a local around here gets, and started yelling back at them. Then all hell broke loose. VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim03Topic001 Kid got the worst of it, sad to say. VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim03Topic002 They were big guys. Young, too. No old geezers like me. Hell, none of them looked even half my age. VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim03Topic002 I was mostly face down in the dirt, begging for my life when it happened, so I only got a quick look at them. VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim03Topic003 You were just curious. No harm in that. I'm just worried sick about my friend here. VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim03Topic004 I hope you find the bastards that did this. If you want, try asking my friend Wayne over there about them. He saw more than I did. VFreeformFreesideVFSLocalVictim03Topic005 Yeah, the docs say he's going to be laid up for a while, assuming he doesn't get any worse. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic000 Have a look. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic001 Done. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic002 Things were better when the Omertas were buying, but we get by. Good selection from traders and the Van Graffs keep things running. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic002 Things were better when the Omertas were buying, but we get by. Van Graffs getting killed is making a mess of things, but we have other customers. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic003 Why, do you work for one of the casinos? VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] In that case, yes I do. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic004 Follow me. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic004 [FAILED] All of my guns are special. If anything catches your eye, let me know. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic005 No Vegas-banned items here, buddy. Just high quality standard stock. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic006 Done. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic007 Anything else I can help you with? VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic008 Sure, let's see what you've got. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic009 Are they looking to buy guns? VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic010 That's the thing, I have no idea. They just stopped buying guns all of a sudden. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic010 If you hear anything, let me know. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic011 Anything else I can help you with? VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic014 Really? What did you learn? VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic015 Well, that would explain why they stopped buying. Them not telling me why leads me to think I'd rather not know the particulars. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic015 Thanks for digging that up for me. If there is any way you could convince them to reestablish, I have a few extra special items you can have. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic015 They're too pricey for anyone around here to afford, but getting the Omerta's sales back would be a worthy trade. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic016 Outstanding! You have no idea how much this means to me, but I think this little beauty will give you an idea. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic017 You aren't the first poor sucker who's come in here saying that. We don't do discounts here. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic017 Sounds like you were ripped off. I'd go get your money back from Santiago. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic018 Then talk to my partner Ralph. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic019 Follow me. VFreeformFreesideVFSMickTopic020 Like I always say, a polite society is an armed society. VFreeformFreesideVFSOffDutyNCRTrooper01Topic000 Go ahead. VFreeformFreesideVFSOffDutyNCRTrooper01Topic000 Head on through. VFreeformFreesideVFSOffDutyNCRTrooper01Topic001 Then go someplace else. VFreeformFreesideVFSOffDutyNCRTrooper01Topic001 I guess you're not getting in here then, are you? VFreeformFreesideVFSOffDutyNCRTrooper01Topic002 [SUCCEEDED] O-Of course not! We're here to serve the good citizens of the NCR. Please, head on through. VFreeformFreesideVFSOffDutyNCRTrooper01Topic002 [SUCCEEDED] If you're here to see the Major, then I suppose it's all right. Head on through. VFreeformFreesideVFSOffDutyNCRTrooper01Topic002 [FAILED] Since you put it like that, no. Not unless you know the password. Do you know the password? VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic000 I've done a bit of everything around here - courier, butcher, crier, escort, gun for hire... VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic000 Some of which I'm not proud of, but I do my best to help around town when needed. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic002 Goodbye. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic003 I'm retired, but life has been a bit dull without some kind of action. What's the job? VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic004 Exactly one of the reasons I got out of that job. Too many shifty characters looking to have someone else move their hot items. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic005 My father ran a butcher shop here in town, but business went downhill when another vendor started selling this strange meat at half of our prices. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic006 You're telling me. Not long after my father's shop went under and he passed away from the loss, people around town started experiencing shakes. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic006 No one gets shakes like that unless they're eating human flesh, but no one would believe me. The sick bastard gradually went insane and passed away. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic006 Wasn't long before someone moved into the guy's place and found half-buried human remains in the crawlspace. I didn't bother saying told ya so. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic008 After a while I made enough money to get a passport into Vegas. Back then you could get approved for entry for a fraction of what it costs now. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic008 Well, I got a job working as a crier outside of The Tops advertising for the local talent performing at the casino. That didn't last long. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic009 Well, being a suave young guy, I chatted up the ladies from time to time, and one of the managers' girls started to take a liking to me. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic009 I never touched the woman, but the jealous prick decided it was my time to go. He framed me by saying I'd stolen from the casino. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic009 Sure enough, a few grand was missing from the casino vault. I have to assume the bastard stole the funds and figured I was a convenient fall guy. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic010 Yeah, but what can you do? I was stripped of my casino apartment and all of my belongings and booted back into Freeside. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic010 From there I didn't have a lot of career options, as my rep was destroyed. So, the escort job sort of fell into my lap, no pun intended. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic011 Yeah, shit indeed happens. I was stripped of my casino apartment and all of my belongings and booted back into Freeside. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic011 From there I didn't have a lot of career options, as my rep was destroyed. So, the escort job sort of fell into my lap, no pun intended. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic012 Well, I supposed you could look at it that way, but I was packing a whole different kind of heat. No, escort just sounds better than man-whore. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic013 Yep. I was damn good at my job, too. But after a while I just felt like a piece of meat and had to quit. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic014 Well, I didn't have any other career opportunities open to me at the time and had to make ends meet. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic014 I was good at it too, but after a while I just felt like a piece of meat and had to quit. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic015 When I quit the escort job, I had enough money to buy a pistol belt and some other gear. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic015 Bodyguards make a good honest living, and I had the wits and physical build to handle most thugs. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic015 After saving a few tourists from trouble, I got a reputation for being a stand-up guy again, and after a decade managed to save up enough to retire. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic016 All right. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic017 Ah, I {getcha}get you. So you think because of my past escort work, I'd be interested in that kind of thing? VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic017 I got out of that work because it just made me feel empty inside. What makes you think I would ever go back to that degradation? VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic018 [SUCCEEDED] You know what? You're right. I looked at the whole thing from the wrong angle. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic018 I suppose I could be a loving muse to some, while simply relieve stress and tension in others. Thanks for that insight. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic018 Tell Garret I'd be happy to start at the Wrangler immediately. This should be a nice change of pace from retirement. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic018 [FAILED] What do I look like? Arm candy? I don't think so, friend. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic019 I never put much thought into the well-being my clients got out of my services. I suppose they only get as much as I put into it. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic019 Tell Garret I'd be happy to start at the Wrangler immediately. This should be a nice change of pace from retirement. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic021 I never put much thought into the well-being my clients got out of my services. I suppose they only get as much as I put into it. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic021 Tell Garret I'd be happy to start at the Wrangler immediately. This should be a nice change of pace from retirement. VFreeformFreesideVFSOldBenTopic024 Sorry, friend, but I just can't do it. VFreeformFreesideVFSOrrisTopic000 Just look around. People here are as like to stab you as say hello. That is, if I weren't at your side. VFreeformFreesideVFSOrrisTopic001 Two hundred caps gets you my watchful eye for a trip to the south gate. VFreeformFreesideVFSOrrisTopic002 Sorry, but all the people with real money are heading for the Strip, so that's the way I go. You want to go somewhere else, hire one of these losers. VFreeformFreesideVFSOrrisTopic003 I'm sure Freeside will disabuse you of that notion soon enough. Farewell. VFreeformFreesideVFSOrrisTopic004 Done and done. I want to mention a few things up front. In order to ensure your safety, I need you to follow my instructions to the letter. VFreeformFreesideVFSOrrisTopic004 We'll be heading down the main street here the whole way down. No detours. You go off sightseeing and I go off to find another customer. VFreeformFreesideVFSOrrisTopic004 I'll keep a brisk pace, so try not to fall behind. Now let's head out. VFreeformFreesideVFSOrrisTopic005 Hey, you want the best, you have to pay for it. VFreeformFreesideVFSOrrisTopic006 [SUCCEEDED] Er, noticed that, did you? I keenly aimed one of the shots through some soft tissue of one of them to hit the man behind him. VFreeformFreesideVFSOrrisTopic006 [FAILED] You're imagining things. It's just the rush of adrenaline caused by your near brush with death. VFreeformFreesideVFSOrrisTopic006 Luckily for you, I was here, so there's no reason to get out of sorts. VFreeformFreesideVFSOrrisTopic007 Call it a hunch. You do this job for long enough, and you learn to trust your instincts. VFreeformFreesideVFSOrrisTopic008 My thoughts exactly. Time is money, after all. VFreeformFreesideVFSOrrisTopic009 That's an interesting theory you've got there. I'd suggest you keep it to yourself. Let's get moving. VFreeformFreesideVFSOrrisTopic010 Stay close. I wouldn't want something to happen to you. VFreeformFreesideVFSOrrisTopic011 [SUCCEEDED] I ought to take my chances and kill you right here, but you may be right. Here, take this. VFreeformFreesideVFSOrrisTopic011 Don't think this is over, though. I'll have that money back, out of your hide if I have to. VFreeformFreesideVFSOrrisTopic011 [FAILED] I think I'll keep my money thanks. You take that fanciful tale of yours wherever you'd like. Now let's go. I have a job to finish. VFreeformFreesideVFSOrrisTopic012 You want the best, you have to be prepared to pay for it. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic002 They seem to have it in for me. Go figure. While they waste all their bullets trying to get me, you head in and waste 'em. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic003 Take these assholes out, what else? Now go! VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] You're a bastard after my own heart. Here, it's all I got. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic004 Now get in there and waste those guys! VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic004 [FAILED] What the hell? I ain't got that kind of money! VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic004 Take those guys out and I'm sure the King will reward you just fine. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic005 Then the King has no interest in seeing you. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic006 [SUCCEEDED] You know what? I like you. Half of the people around here, they forget who runs this place. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic006 Head on through. The King's the bored-looking guy by the stage. Can't fuckin miss him. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic006 [FAILED] No, trust me, the King will want to see you if I want you to see him. Come back when you figure out how the world works. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic007 Let's see you stop me, then. Guys, let's teach these soldier boys a lesson. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic008 It ain't much to look at, but this dump has something that even the Strip doesn't, and that's absolute freedom. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic008 You go other places, and there's always someone screaming at you to act a certain way, or to not do certain things. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic008 Freeside's not like that. Everyone here is free to do whatever they want, and I for one wouldn't want it any other way. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic009 Not anymore it isn't. He's not in his right mind if he's even thinking about making a deal with this scum. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic010 What the f-? Get the others! Now! VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic011 [SUCCEEDED] I... No. We would never survive. We need to stick together. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic011 I'll go with whatever the King decides, but I'll be watching these NCR scumbags like a hawk. If they try anything... VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic011 [FAILED] No, I won't even consider this. We'll show the NCR they can't bully us! VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic012 Not much to tell. We're a bunch of guys that just want to do our own thing, and anyone who's got a problem with that can shove it. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic013 I didn't join the Kings. I helped start the Kings. This whole operation you see here was put together by the King and yours truly. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic014 You're looking to get past those tin cans at the gate, right? They let people by all the time, if they've got the caps. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic014 But if you're not rich, and I can tell you ain't, the King might be able to help you out, provided he likes you. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic016 You're going to have to deal with me whether you like it or not. Get them! VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic017 Sure. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic018 What about it? Someone takes your stuff, you're free to take it back. If you can't, maybe you shouldn't have come to Freeside in the first place. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic019 We do what we want, just like everybody else. We just have more guys, so other people tend to do what we want, too. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic019 If somebody does something we don't like, we let them know about it. If they're strong enough not to care about us liking it, good for them. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic020 Pfff, that's old news. I had some fun with that girl that runs their operation, and then I got tired of her. So I moved on. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic020 She don't like that, see? Normally, I bet she'd just have a guy killed for doing that, but as you can see, I'm still around. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic020 Most people think it's cause she doesn't want to start an all-out war with us, but that ain't it at all. She's still got it bad for me. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic021 Well, the Van Graffs for one. We had a slight difference of opinion when they first showed up. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic021 Changed our minds pretty quick after a brief demonstration of how much firepower they're packing. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic021 We could probably take them, but we'd lose a lotta guys doing it. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic022 People can do whatever they want, they just have to keep in mind what'll happen afterward. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic022 I guess you could say we don't have law so much as consequences. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic024 Aside from this place, there's the Atomic Wrangler just up the street. Women, gambling, booze, you name it, they got you covered. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic024 If you're more of a prude, the Followers run a mission out of the Old Mormon Fort up toward the north gate. Great place if you're hurt, I guess. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic024 If you like things dangerous, just past the Wrangler is the Silver Rush, where the Van Graff family peddles their weapons. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic024 Their stuff is outrageously priced, but if you want to shoot something hi-tech, they're the best game in town. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic025 Look, I already told you that was bullshit. Probably just an excuse those lying soldier scum made up to not share their grub with us. VFreeformFreesideVFSPacerTopic025 So don't ask me about it again, you hear me? VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic000 Take a gander. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic001 I only offer services if The King gives the okay. Impress him and we can talk. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic002 One of his boys stopped in and said you had won the King's favor. You've done right by this town and deserve a pass. Here you go. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic003 If you haven't heard of The King, you must have been living under a rock or something. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic003 The King has his boys all over Freeside. He controls the water pump and is essentially the go-to guy for what goes around here. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic004 We don't have the stills and equipment to supply the amount of meds they're looking to purchase. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic004 You could check with other wasteland merchants, but I think your best bet would be the Atomic Wrangler. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic004 They've got a bunch of stills and a seemingly endless supply of grain alcohol, which could be used as anesthetic or disinfectant. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic006 See ya. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic007 Stop back in if you need anything. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic008 [SUCCEEDED] All right. Yeah, I've got a little side business going, but what I'm about to share with you does not leave this room, eh? VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic008 Over the years, I've gradually perfected my craft to the point of perfection. No one can distinguish between my work and the real thing. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic008 What I'm referring to is passports. If you've got the caps, I can whip up a Strip passport which will fool even the most well-trained eye. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic008 [FAILED] Wow, you're a real wordsmith there, bub. Sorry, talk to the leaders of Freeside if you want the deal. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic009 Hey, if you're interested and have the caps, they go for 500. Any less and it ain't worth the risk {of" omitted intentionally}of getting caught." VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic009 What do you say? You game? VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic010 No problem. If you need one later, just stop in. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic011 Here you go. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic011 Here you go. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic013 [SUCCEEDED]Hah! I like your style, kid, but the best I can do is meet you halfway. 375 caps, and we can call it a deal. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic013 [FAILED]Heh, who are you shitting? VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic013 I appreciate your brass, but 500 is the price. Take it or leave it. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic014 500 caps and it's yours. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic014 375 caps and it's yours. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic015 [SUCCEEDED] Um... I think that sounds reasonable... As long as you aren't going to do anything dangerous with it, I guess I can spare some. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic015 [FAILED] I don't know much about biology, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't make a damn bit of sense. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic016 Funny you should mention that, I do have a bit of chlorine here. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic016 Normally I wouldn't sell that to just anyone, but you were so helpful getting us Omerta business again, I'll set some aside for you to buy. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic016 I do, but that's some dangerous stuff. I don't sell it to just anyone, I have to be a responsible businessman. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic017 All right. Come back in a couple days and I should have it ready for you. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic017DUPLICATE000 Ok, ask away. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic018 Ha! Are you some kind of machine fetishist or something? VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic019 Heh. Well, the only place I know of locally would be Cerulean Robotics, but that place has been overrun by vermin for years. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic019 If you want to check the place out, you can find it on the west side of Freeside. The entrance is on the back side of the building. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic019 Just watch out for thugs. The rats aren't the only vermin you need to worry about. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic020 Anything else I can help you with? VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic021 I don't know of any, but if you give me a few days and some caps, I think I could probably make one on my terminal. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic022 Just stop back and see me if you need one made. Anything else I can help you with? VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic023 [SUCCEEDED] All right. Come back in a couple days and I should have it ready for you. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic023 [FAILED] I don't think so. I've got a business to run here, buddy. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic024 [SUCCEEDED] All right. Come back in a couple days and I should have it ready for you. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic024 [FAILED] That is just an insult to my expertise. My work is worth more than that. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic025 [SUCCEEDED] All right. Come back in a couple days and I should have it ready for you. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic026 Not yet. Come back later and it should be ready to go. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic026 Yep, here you go. You'll need to use a terminal to upload the data to the robot. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic027 Just stop back and see me if you need one made. Anything else I can help you with? VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic028 I don't know of any, but if you give me a few days and some caps, I think I could probably make one on my terminal. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic029 Goodbye. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic030 Sure. Just tell me the author and what you want it to say. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic032 What do you want to know? VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic034 If you haven't heard of The King, you must have been living under a rock or something. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic034 The King has his boys all over Freeside. He controls the water pump and is essentially the go-to guy for what goes around here. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic035 They are the local energy weapon dealers in Freeside. When it comes to lasers and plasma, they're the only game in town and they keep it that way. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic035 Gloria's men are the best armed in Freeside and ruthless to boot, but her brother, Jean-Baptiste Cutting, puts them all to shame. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic036 Their joint is the only place in Freeside to get it all under one roof. They've got gambling, booze, chems, and whores. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic036 They're good folks, just don't cross them. They're known for tidying up loose ends with a bullet to the brain box. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic037 Not a problem. I occasionally do business with the Van Graffs, so I have a sample of Mr. Cutting's handwriting around here somewhere. VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic037 What would you like it to say? VFreeformFreesideVFSRalphTopic038 Like to live dangerously, do we? No problem. And... here you go. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic000 Could be. Could be. That kind of information doesn't come cheap, though. I'll need at least 150 caps for this one. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic000 Could be. Could be. That kind of information doesn't come cheap, though. I'll need at least 150 caps for this one. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic001 Much appreciated. The guys you're talking about have been spotted near the old train station in the northwest. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic001 There've been more and more Squatters heading that way each night, too. Word is, there's a password to get into the building. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic002 [SUCCEEDED] You're a scoundrel. I'll let it go for 50, but no lower. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic002 [FAILED] How about 200 since you're such a smartass? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic003 Much appreciated. The guys you're talking about have been spotted near the old train station in the northwest. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic003 There've been more and more Squatters from around here heading that way each night, too. Word is, there's a password to get into the building. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic004 Then I can't help you with that, but I do have lots of other tips that come much, much cheaper... VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic005 It'll cost you 250 caps. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic006 [SUCCEEDED] Fine, fine. One hundred it is, but only because you're a good customer. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic006 [FAILED] I've got a business to run here, you know. The price is 250. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic007 Much appreciated. The guys you're talking about have been spotted near the old train station in the northwest. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic007 There've been more and more Squatters heading that way each night, too. Word is, there's a password to get into the building. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic008 Wow, I might have to head down to the Wrangler tonight with all these caps weighing me down. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic009 Good luck! VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic012 Dangerous... I like that. Maybe it's time people starting being afraid of me rather than the other way around. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic012 Oh yeah, I wanted to tell you that I got some new info for you. Each tip's gonna cost 100 caps now though. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic012 Cause I got plans. Big plans. So what do you say? Want a tip? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic013 Then I can't help you with that, but I do have lots of other tips that come much, much cheaper... VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic015 Hey, listen, I'd love to sell you some more info, but you've tapped everything I've heard lately. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic015 Come back in a few days. I'll put my ear to the ground and hopefully have heard a few more things by then. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic015 What do ya say, want another tip? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic015 I got more where that came from. Want another? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic015 That one was pretty good, right? How about another? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic015 I've heard here and there that the word Hope" has recently become quite popular with the Squatters." VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic015 But that's all I've heard. If I knew more, I'd try to bilk you out of more caps. You interested in one of my other tips? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic016 Exactly what I was thinking. It's nice to have a little style, you know? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic016 But you're probably here for more of my special commodity, and luckily for you, I haven't been idle since last we spoke. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic016 However, all that hard work on my part means that the price has gone up. 100 a tip, now. You game? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic017 Oh yeah, what would you have gotten? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic018 Unfortunately, it comes with the territory around here. But being afraid sucks, no doubt about it. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic018 Oh, hey, I almost forgot to tell you I heard a few things you might be interested in. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic018 I'm kind of sorry about this, but I'm going to have to up my price to 100 caps per tip from now on. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic018 It's getting tougher to discover new things that might interest a traveler such as yourself. I'm sure you understand. So, you interested or what? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic019 Yeah, it does look pretty sweet, doesn't {it}i- hey, screw you! Who asked you anyway? The crap I put up with... VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic020 Yeah... that's a good idea... no sense making money and waiting for someone to just come and take it, right? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic021 Hmmm... you're a long-term thinker, man. I like that. You might be on to something there. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic022 ...Really? Wow, it never occurred to me to actually give the money away. Do people really do things like that? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic023 Yeah... yeah, that's a good idea. They'll learn that shouldn't have messed with me. Just wait till they get what's coming to them! VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic024 You really think so, pal? I'll start looking into it. I bet I can help a lot of people around here. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic025 You're probably right. This place has been going downhill for a long time. Maybe I could start over somewhere else. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic025 Just think of it. A new life... VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic025 Oh yeah, I heard some new things that you might find interesting. I'm going to have to start charging 100 caps per tip, though. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic025 After all, I have to save up for my ticket out of here, right? So how about it? Want a tip? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic026 What? N-No, I knew you were just kidding. Ha ha. You're a funny one, all right. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic027 That's true, you seem to always be on the move and it seems to be working out for you pretty well. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic027 I've already got a decent amount saved up. If I keep it up, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to go start over somewhere else soon. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic028 That's a hell of a thing to say. Build up a man's hopes, then dash them in front of him. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic028 And who says I couldn't survive just as well as you out there? People are always underestimating me, damn. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic029 This place is a shithole, but yeah, it's home. I've lived here all my life. I'd be leaving a piece of myself behind if I left. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic029 There'd be things I'd miss - the fun of watching the Kings kick the crap out of a thief, or the look of joy on a child's face after catching a rat. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic029 Ah, now you've got me all nostalgic-like. Maybe I'd be better off trying to find a way to make this place better than giving up and leaving. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic030 You're a real piece of work, you know that? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic031 It's cool. I'm just a little touchy about people making fun of me, especially smoothskins. But you're not all bad. Take the Followers, for example. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic031 Why, just the other week, one of them offered me a job. Can you imagine? Me, with a real job? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic031 Can you imagine? Me? With a real job? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic032 Yeah, I bet you have. Not important enough for you to remember, huh? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic033 You said it. With these threads, people are finally going to start noticing me. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic034 Fuck you, human. We don't all share your wonderful complexion. Some of us have to make do, you know? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic034 Anyway, I was just going to tell you that I've come across some new tidbits you might find interesting. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic034 And since you're just about my favorite person in the world, each one is only going to cost you 100 caps. Interested? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic035 Yeesh, you're just all business, aren't you? Well, I like how I look, and that's what's important. Though it'd be nice if other people did too. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic036 I don't want to mention it out in plain sight like this. You never know who might be listening. Follow me. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic037 Well, don't wait too long. What I've got is something you'd need to act on, quick. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic038 Wow, I didn't think it would be this easy. I should have done this years ago. Guess I'll be going then. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic038 Oh, here's a final tip - don't ever follow anyone into a dark alley in Freeside. Later, chump. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic039 Man, I'm tired of scrounging for caps from ungrateful idiots like you. It's past time I moved on to bigger and better things. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic039 Now are you going to hand over your caps, or am I going to shoot you and take them anyway? VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic040 Then you give me no choice. VFreeformFreesideVFSRotfaceTopic041 You're welcome to try. VFreeformFreesideVFSSecuritronGreeterTopic000 Admission to the Strip requires an official passport or proof that you are carrying the required minimum balance. VFreeformFreesideVFSSecuritronGreeterTopic000 These policies prevent less-reputable persons from entering and ensure a good time will be had by all who enter the Strip. VFreeformFreesideVFSSecuritronGreeterTopic001 Thank you, sir. You may proceed. VFreeformFreesideVFSSecuritronGreeterTopic001 Thank you, madam. You may proceed. VFreeformFreesideVFSSecuritronGreeterTopic001 I'm sorry, but your balance does not meet the minimum balance. VFreeformFreesideVFSSecuritronGreeterTopic002 Thank you, sir. You may proceed. VFreeformFreesideVFSSecuritronGreeterTopic002 Thank you, madam. You may proceed. VFreeformFreesideVFSSecuritronGreeterTopic002 Thank you, sir. You may proceed. VFreeformFreesideVFSSecuritronGreeterTopic002 Thank you, madam. You may proceed. VFreeformFreesideVFSSecuritronGreeterTopic003 [SUCCEEDED]
VFreeformFreesideVFSSecuritronGreeterTopic003 Thank you, sir. You may proceed. VFreeformFreesideVFSSecuritronGreeterTopic003 [SUCCEEDED]
VFreeformFreesideVFSSecuritronGreeterTopic003 Thank you, madam. You may proceed. VFreeformFreesideVFSSecuritronGreeterTopic003 [FAILED] Please submit to a credit check or present a passport. VFreeformFreesideVFSSecuritronGreeterTopic004 If you are unable to meet the minimum balance requirement, an official passport is an acceptable alternative. VFreeformFreesideVFSSecuritronGreeterTopic005 Please return when you have sufficient caps or a passport. VFreeformFreesideVFSSergioTopic000 Wonderful. Then let's begin making a whole new you! VFreeformFreesideVFSSergioTopic001 You wound me! You simply must let me have a go at that hair sometime! Anything you can imagine, I can style! VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic000 You're kidding me, right? No, from the look in your eye I can tell you're not kidding. Wow, you should really be more careful with your money. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic000 Here, this should cover it. So there's no hard feelings. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic000 Now, I'm guessing you really wanted to talk business if you were willing to drop that much cash to see me. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic000 Now, what can I do for you? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic001 You're modest. I respect that. So what can I do for you? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic002 Pace must be losing his touch. Either that or you're a smooth one. So what can I do for you? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic003 I might just be able to help you with that. But it's not something I do easily, or often. You'd have to earn it. You willing to do that? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic006 I'll start you off with something easy. Did you notice the bodyguards for hire near the gates when you entered Freeside? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic007 Then I wish you luck. But know that there are only two ways in there, me or those robots. Good luck working things out with the tin cans. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic008 It's good money if you can stay alive long enough. Freeside's not as safe as it used to be, so the money is well earned. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic008 Usually well earned, that is. Recently my men tell me that one of those bodyguards, fella named Orris, is making a little too much money. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic008 He's making a killing in repeat business. Once someone hires him they never want anyone else. I want you to find out why. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic008 Specifically, I want you to hire him. Play the part of an innocent tourist and follow his lead. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic008 If nothing happens, so be it. But I'm guessing things won't go so smoothly. Call it a hunch. So what do you say? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic009 It's good money if you can stay alive long enough. Freeside's not as safe as it used to be, so the money is well earned. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic009 Usually well earned, that is. Recently my men tell me that one of those bodyguards is getting a suspiciously large amount of business. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic009 The man's name is Orris, and everyone who hires him specifically requests him when they return. I want you to find out why. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic009 Specifically, I want you to hire him. He's usually covering the northern gate. Then I want you to head for the southern gate. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic009 If nothing happens, so be it. But I'm guessing things won't go so smoothly. Call it a hunch. So what do you say? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic011 Okay, then. Once you part ways, return here. I'll look forward to hearing your report. Oh, and take this to cover the hiring cost. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic012 You may have noticed that some of those guards out there are Kings, too. I'm just looking out for my men. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic012 I'm not trying to get some kind of unfair advantage. I just want a level playing field for my boys. So what do you say? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic013 I've tried, but he can smell a King a mile away. Probably knows all our faces by now. He's not a stupid man, I'll give him that. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic013 What I need is someone he won't recognize, which makes you perfect. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic013 So are you going to take the job or what? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic014 That's too bad. We could have helped each other out. If you change your mind, stop back. The job might still be waiting for you. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic015 So that's how it happens... Okay, then. I'll have some guys pull him off the street when no one's looking. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic015 You've shown me something, so maybe you can help me with a matter that's a little more important. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic015 A lot of folks round these parts who've been here a while resent the sheer number of people that have come into the area since the Strip was built. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic015 In turn the newcomers, most of whom come from the NCR, have gotten ornery from being resented. Sometimes things get violent. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic015 This is one of those occasions. Recently, a few friends of mine were attacked, and I want you to find out who did it. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic015 Word's come that they just woke up over at the Old Mormon Fort just north of here. Head on over and see if they remember anything. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic016 Oh he did, did he? Well that just ain't good enough. Get back out there and hire him again. Hire him a hundred times if that's what it takes. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic016 And before you ask, I'm not gonna cover the cost this time. It's bad enough I'm giving the man *more* business. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic017 Ah, so it went down like that, huh? I guess it can't be helped now. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic017 You're not subtle, but you get the job done. That's good enough for me. Maybe you can help me with something more important. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic018 Ask away. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic019 So I'm supposed to just start giving in to the demands of random strangers that come in here, huh? I don't think so. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic019 You want something from me, you're gonna have to earn it. And it just so happens that I've got a few things I need taken care of. So what do you say? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic019 I'd love to help you, but it seems I can't even prevent my own friends from getting killed. I'm sorry as can be, but I can't help you. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic020 Handing out supplies? Like food and stuff? That ain't nothing to get ruffled over. You find anything else? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic021 I got Rex here from a salvager a few years ago. He was a little dinged up when I got him, but one of the Followers fixed him right up. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic022 He's been acting peculiar for some time now. I took him to the Followers and had him checked out, and they said his brain is bad or something. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic023 He goes through spells like this from time to time. The Followers said his brain is going bad or something. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic024 Sure, what's on your mind? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic025 To understand Freeside, you have to look back a few years. Originally, we were all just tribes making a living in this area. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic025 That all changed when Mr. House came around. He made an offer to the three biggest tribes that were willing to listen to him. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic025 Today, everyone calls those tribes the Three Families, and they live in luxury and run their own casinos in the Strip. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic025 The rest of us were left to fight over the crumbs, living in the shadow of those more fortunate. Things got pretty nasty for a while. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic025 But we wanted more. A place of our own. A place where no one could tell us what to do. And we didn't want to go elsewhere to find it. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic025 So we took control of this place, and made it our own. And that's really all Freeside is, the best of a bad situation. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic027 We're different than other gangs, and not just because we dress better. We're not just a group of thugs looking for our next fight. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic027 The Kings are about an idea, you see? Where every man is free to follow his own path, do his own thing. Where every man is a king in his own right. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic028 That's all right. My friends got beat so bad they'll be recuperating for quite some time, so head over there when you can. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic029 Charge? Ha ha. Pace must be at it again. What did he take you for? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic030 Near as I can tell, it was some sort of religious institution. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic030 Oh, I know it says school" out front VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic030 People used to come here to learn about him, to dress like him, move like him. To {stressed}be him. If that's not worship, I don't know what is. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic031 No, they said they don't have the tools to help him. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic032 For now, but they said eventually he's going to get worse. I don't know what to do. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic033 I don't know. Maybe. If you found a way to help my poor Rex here, I'd be much obliged. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic033 Your best bet would be to talk to Julie Farkas over at the Old Mormon Fort north of here. Maybe you'll have better luck than I did. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic034 I can't thank you enough. Now, there's a few things you should know about ol' Rex here if you're going to be traveling together. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic034 First, he hates rats. Can't stand the things. Giant rats, molerats, doesn't matter. He catches a whiff of one and he's off like a shot after them. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic034 He's normally pretty obedient, but you might have to chase him some if he goes after one of the little varmints. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic034 Second, he doesn't like hats, or the people wearing them. Don't ask. I have no idea why. Maybe because it rhymes with rats"." VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic034 That should be it, though. Other than the occasional bad spot when his brain starts hurting him, that is, but I'm hoping you'll see to that. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic034 I wish you both luck. Take care of my Rex now, y'hear? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic035 I completely understand. No reason you should take on someone else's problems. Let me know if you change your mind, though. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic035 Now, was there anything else you wanted to talk about? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic036 What about him? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic037 Like what? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic038 So it went down like that, huh? I guess it can't be helped now. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic038 Even though you lack subtlety, you've shown me you can get the job done, so maybe you can help me with something more important. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic039 Maybe so. Maybe so. You look like you might be able to handle yourself. Tell you what. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic039 You do me a favor, and I'll have some more work for you when it's done. Sound good? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic039 I did have something, but some friends of mine got whacked and now I got nothing for ya. Sorry about that. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic039 I did have something, but a close friend of mine got whacked and now I got nothing for ya. Sorry about that. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic041 Convinced him, huh? I could use more men with your powers of persuasion. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic041 You've shown me you can get the job done, so maybe you can help me with something more important. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic042 In that case, some of the things I need handled will be right up your alley. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic045 I beg your pardon, then. I'll let you get about your business. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic046 She said what? Why didn't she just say so when I was there? Actually, come to think of it, I was pretty angry when I went down there. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic046 I vaguely recall something about upending a few tables, maybe knocking out one of her doctors. Anyway, that's incredible news! VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic046 Only thing is, there's too much going on around here for me to make a trip like that, and I need all of my guys just to keep things settled here. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic046 You seem to be awfully interested in my boy Rex here. And you've done some good work for me already. I'll tell you what. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic046 You promise to get Rexie here to that doctor, and I'll lend him to you. What do you say? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic046 Yes? Did you reconsider? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic047 Then I must refuse. The people here have the right to do what they want and are beholden to none. I won't take that away from them. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic048 And whose job is it to stop it? Yours? Mine? Who are we to tell people what to do? No man has that right. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic049 Says the one with a squad of armed soldiers behind them. No, I don't think a peaceful solution is possible. Not anymore. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic050 That I don't want to sign away my freedom and that of all the people I'm responsible for at gunpoint? Yeah, I'm sure. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic051 [SUCCEEDED] Honestly, I hadn't thought it through that far. I'd guess someone would come and take over this place. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic051 And you can be damn sure they won't run it like the King, baby. They might run everyone out, or enslave them, or worse. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic051 I guess I have no choice. Tell your NCR masters that I accept their terms. I'll see that violence against their people is dealt with. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic051 Now take these fools and get out of here before they start a riot. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic051 [FAILED] My momma didn't raise no quitter, and I stand by my beliefs. The answer is no. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic052 And I'm trying to protect mine. If the NCR wants peace so much, the first step would be to get these soldiers out of here. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic053 An offer, huh? All right, let's hear it. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic054 Wrong, huh? And I suppose they sent all of these soldiers just to make nice. Lucky me. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic055 Then I'm afraid we're going to have ourselves a tussle. Now say what you came to say or get out. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic056 That doesn't sound half bad... what's the catch? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic060 Hmmm, people around here *would* be a lot less ornery if there were more supplies to go around. It'd be rough at first, but I think we could manage. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic060 Tell you what. I'll agree to those terms. But the Kings won't lift a finger until we see the first of those supplies. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic063 That's not so bad. I might have to make an example of a few of the more hotheaded guys, but otherwise, that sounds fair. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic063 Tell you what. I'll agree to those terms. But the Kings won't lift a finger until we see the first of those supplies. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic065 We've tried to pass our philosophy on to the people of Freeside, but not everyone is ready to be a King. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic065 The kids love us, but the old-timers tend to shy away and keep to themselves. They probably couldn't pull off the look, anyway. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic065 As for the others, some people just plain don't respect others, and that's a no-no. If there's one thing I won't tolerate, it's lack of respect. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic066 Normally, we don't let outsiders join, but I think I can make an exception in your case. I'll have one of the guys spread the word. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic066 From this day forward, you're one of us, and no one in Freeside will mess with you if they know what's good for them. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic066 In addition, if you want to do something about that hair of yours, talk to Sergio. I'll let him know you're coming. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic066 Perhaps more importantly, you've earned the right to wear something a little more stylish. Here, wear it proudly. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic066 Normally, we don't let outsiders join, and you'd be the first female King ever, but I think I can make an exception in your case. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic066 From this day forward, you're one of us, and no one in Freeside will mess with you if they know what's good for them. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic066 In addition, if you want to do something about that hair of yours, talk to Sergio. I'll let him know you're coming. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic066 Perhaps more importantly, you've earned the right to wear something a little more stylish. Here, wear it proudly. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic067 Sure can. I have a friend who has just what you're looking for, has a shop over yonder by the east gate, named Mick & Ralph's. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic067 Just tell Ralph that I sent you and he'll get you squared away. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic068 Caps are a little tight these days, but with our guards making more and those supplies comin' in I reckon I can spare some. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic069 That's a good idea. I don't give out favors everyday, so you probably shouldn't rush to pick something. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic069 Tumble it around in your mind and come back when you know what you want. I'll be here. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic070 Not a whole lot to tell. There were only a few books left in here when we found it, and those were rotted away. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic070 There were some posters left that were pretty well preserved, which is how we know all this stuff was based on the same guy. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic070 The thing of it is, we don't even know what his name was. All the posters just referred to him as The King"." VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic071 Fine by me, just remember I owe you one. Now what did you want to talk about? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic072 Whoa... that's a doozy. Truth be told, I don't even know if I can pull something like that off. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic073 I'll give it my best. You've earned that much. But this makes us even, you hear? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic074 Damn straight they will. It's some of the other locals that I'm worried about. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic074 On second thought, if I can whip this band of hooligans into obedience, a stray tough guy or two shouldn't be a problem. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic074 Okay, you've got a deal. No more violence against the NCR on my watch. But this makes us even, you hear? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic075 Hold on now, I didn't say I couldn't do it, just that I couldn't guarantee it, and even that's probably stretching the truth a little. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic075 Just leave everything to me. I'll see that the violence stops. But this makes us even, you hear? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic076 Is that so? That's a mighty tall order for someone I barely know. Now, if you were to help me out some, that might change my mind. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic076 Can I help you with anything else? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic076 I'd like to help you out, especially considering all you've done, but that's a pretty big favor you're asking for, and you've already used yours. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic076 Was there anything else you wanted? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic077 Whoa, there. Not just anyone can be a King. First of all, we usually only accept people native to the area. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic077 Second, I have to approve. And I don't. You haven't shown me you've got what it takes to be a King yet. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic077 But if you're fixin' to join something fierce, stick around, and if you play your cards right, things might change. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic078 Good. I like that enthusiasm. Return when you have some information we can use. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic079 Good. Return here when you've found something. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic080 Bunch of soldier boys, huh? They usually don't come around these parts since their big base is on the other side of the Strip. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic080 If they're comin' over here now, it's got to be for a reason. I didn't want to believe the rumors that they're looking to take over Vegas, but now... VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic080 If something big is going down, I'm sure rumors of it will have spread. Ask around, particularly in the squatter areas where the NCR folk hang. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic080 You might also mosey on over to the Mormon Fort and chat Julie Farkas up. The Followers tend to be in the know about these things. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic080 Just don't ask her what to do about it. She'll probably ask you to hug someone or somethin'. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic081 As far as we can tell, the guy that built this place was considered the coolest of the cool, and taught other people how to be more like him. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic081 People would come from all around to learn how to sing, dance, dress, and even speak the way he did. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic083 Then there's no sense in us talkin' about it. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic084 Go ahead. Throw some questions at me. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic085 Ah, that would explain the goons. They're here to keep people like my friends away from the food. That ain't something I support. No sir. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic086 Keep at it. Those boys are here for a reason. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic087 Sure can. What did you want to know? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic088 Nothing's innocent in Freeside. You should know that by now. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic088 No, I'm guessing they're doing something they know will cause a row, like keep the food all to themselves. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic088 Ah, that would explain the goons. They're here to keep people like my friends away from the food. That ain't something I support. No sir. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic090 Sure thing. What'd you have in mind? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic091 Well, that and the giant sign outside. This place could have been The King's House of Dog Chow" and I still would have taken the name." VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic091 But I like to think I keep the memory alive. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic092 Somethin' like that, yeah. There were some working tapes here when we first got here, so we know what he sounded like. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic092 Sadly, they stopped working a few years back, so I sold them to a junk merchant who was passing through, otherwise I'd play some for you. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic092 All the outfits you see my guy wearing around were originally found in here, too. Along with more hair gel than you can shake a stick at. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic094 I'm gonna see that those supplies are distributed a little m{ore}- what the hell? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic095 Wait a minute, wait a minute. They said what? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic096 Don't worry, I'm not gonna do anything uncalled for. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic097 Huh, that would explain why they're all riled at us. Seems like we have a big misunderst{anding}- what the hell? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic099 Pace? He and I grew up together around here. We've been through a lot together, and there's no man I'd rather have at my side in a pinch. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic099 Don't judge him too harshly for trying to get some caps out of you. He probably took you for a squatter, looking for a place to settle down. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic099 There've been a lot of people moving into the area lately, and it's got some people riled. Can't blame 'em myself. There's only so much to go around. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic100 There's me, but I don't really like talking about myself. There's Julie Farkas and the other Followers down at the ol' Mormon Fort. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic100 The Garret Twins up at the Wrangler deserve mention. Wouldn't be right not mentioning the Van Graffs, I suppose. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic100 And while they're not important in the overall scheme of things, there's Mick and Ralph, too. Just don't tell them I said that. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic100 Who all did you want to know about? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic101 Julie represents the Followers of the Apocalypse. They're a group that tries to help people out whenever they can, so we get along just fine. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic101 If you ever need to get patched up, one of their docs'll have you right as rain in no time flat. They sell supplies, too. Or used to. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic101 Heard they were having trouble bringing stuff in, or keeping up with the demand, or something, lately. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic101 Did you want to know about anyone else? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic102 Them twins run the Atomic Wrangler, the only working casino here in Freeside. It's become pretty much {thee}the place to go around these parts. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic102 Give it a whirl when you've got some time. Now, was there anyone else you wanted to know about? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic103 They're a family-run business from out west that deal in weapons mostly. A word of caution, though. They're not a friendly bunch. Not at all. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic103 Their store is just past the Wrangler, and sells all kinds of fancy weapons that most people around here can't afford. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic103 Anyone else you wanted to know about? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic104 Mick and Ralph sell all sorts of things at a small store over by the east gate. They've done all right by us, and they'll do all right by you. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic104 You want to know about anyone else? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic105 I'll send some guys to check out your story, but that's some good news for a change. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic105 Word will probably spread about this, and quickly. The NCR'll know not to come around these parts if they know what's good for 'em. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic105 You've helped us plenty, so I'll tell you what. Just this once, name whatever you want, and if I can make it happen, it's done. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic105 Don't rush it, though. Toss it around in your head a little. You only get one favor from The King. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic107 {Overwhelmed by emotion}That's... that's terrible. I hope the poor little guy gave as good as he got. {Sad, but proud}He always was a fighter. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic107 {Breaking down a little}Why I remember one time when he... {Tries to switch topics to cover}do you mind if we talk about something else? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic109 I expect you to treat my Rexie with a little more care. I'm expecting him back now, you hear? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic109 Now, was there something you wanted to talk about? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic110 You're a man of your word, no doubt about it. I can't thank you enough. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic110 If you want, hold onto Rex for a little while longer. I'm sure he'd enjoy that. Was there anything else you wanted? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic111 No no, you can hold onto him for a little while longer, I think. You deserve that much at least, for what you've done. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic111 But aside from the good news about my Rex, was there something you wanted? VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic112 Naw, I'm just happy to see my pup back on his feet and happy. I can't thank you enough for this. VFreeformFreesideVFSTheKingTopic112 Hopefully, he's been making himself useful as a way of paying you back. But where are my manners, did you need something? VFreeformFreesideVMS49MaxTopic000 Sorry, but I need it to shoot Stacey. We can find you another gun. VFreeformFreesideVMS49MaxTopic001 Really? Cool! Bring it back to me when you're done, okay? I think Stacey might be turning into an alien. VFreeformFreesideVMS49MaxTopic002 I don't really like to go to bed until it gets dark out. VFreeformFreesideVMS49MaxTopic002 Yeah, it's time for me to sleep now. VFreeformFreesideVMS49MaxTopic002 Goodnight. VFreeformFreesideVMS49MaxTopic003 This is the best gun in the whole galaxy. I paid a million caps for it. And it wasn't even brand new. VFreeformFreesideVMS49MaxTopic004 You mean it? Wow, thanks! VFreeformFreesideVMS49MaxTopic004 I bet me and Stacey can get something real cool at Mick and Ralph's with that. VFreeformFreesideVMS49MaxTopic004 Yeah? Let's see it. VFreeformFreesideVMS49MaxTopic005 Aw, man. It's Stacey's fault. She pretends like she didn't get hit. VFreeformFreesideVMS49MaxTopic005 That's still a lot of money. I guess I'll take it. VFreeformFreesideVMS49MaxTopic006 I'll be shooting Stacey till you get back. Just saying goodbye to it, you know? VFreeformFreesideVMS49MaxTopic007 Sorry, I may be little, but I'm not dumb. VFreeformFreesideVMS49MaxTopic008 Well, if you can get me most of it, I could give you a loan for the rest. VFreeformFreesideVMS49MaxTopic009 Sorry, I may be little, but I'm not dumb. VFreeformFreesideVMS49VagrantTopic000 Heh heh heh heh {ooo VFreeformFreesideVMS49VagrantTopic000 {erudite}Indeed I have, my articulate friend. Not a few minutes ago I chanced upon a pair of destitute orphans grappling over just such an item. VFreeformFreesideVMS49VagrantTopic000 {erudite}If you cover the area methodically, I'm quite certain you'll happen upon them with only the most insubstantial of delays. VFreeformFreesideVMS49VagrantTopic000 {erudite}Be well. And do try and avoid the tragic path of the sot that led me to my present infirmities and spiritual woes. VFreeformFreesideVMS49VagrantTopic001 Kids. Run by {slurring}sh- shumtimes. VFreeformFreesideVMS49VagrantTopic001 Blaaagghhh. VFreeformFreesideVMS49VagrantTopic002 Kids. Run by {slurring}sh- shumtimes. VFreeformGoodspringsDocMitchellShootoutBags I ain't got much, but it'll do you more good out there than it will in here. Take what I got. VFreeformGoodspringsDocMitchellShootoutHelp Seems like wherever I go it's always the same. Folks just never leave each other alone. VFreeformGoodspringsDocMitchellShootoutHelp I'm not much good in a fight, with my bum leg. And my supplies are scarce. But I'll give you what I can spare. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellSpeechCheck [SUCCEEDED] Of course. You been through a lot. Ain't much, but these'll do you right if the pain flares up. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellSpeechCheck [SUCCEEDED] Of course. You been through a lot. Ain't much, but these'll do you right if the pain flares up. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellSpeechCheck [SUCCEEDED] Of course. You been through a lot. Ain't much, but these'll do you right if the pain flares up. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellSpeechCheck [FAILED] Sorry. I'm afraid I'm all out of lollipops. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellTellMeAboutYou Well, I already told you I came from a vault. After that, was a traveling doctor for a spell. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellTellMeAboutYou Seemed like a good idea at the time. Most folks out here ain't educated, so people with medical knowhow are hard to come by. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellTellMeAboutYou Found that I could help a lot of people with what I knew, and that was all right with me. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellTellMeAboutYou Eventually, I went back and married my childhood sweetheart and that was the end of my traveling days. Didn't miss it none then. Still don't. VFreeformGoodspringsDocMitchellTopic000 Well, ain't we all, right? That was a long time ago. {Lying}I don't pay it much mind anymore. VFreeformGoodspringsDocMitchellTopic001 {Bitter, attempting to hide it}Yep. He sure did. Wanted himself a hotel, and to make sure once he made the change there'd never be any going back. VFreeformGoodspringsDocMitchellTopic001 We didn't get a say. Don't know how you'd argue with a fella like that anyways, everywhere and nowhere all at once. VFreeformGoodspringsDocMitchellTopic001 So just like that, we was all homeless. Went our separate ways, and that was all she wrote. VFreeformGoodspringsDocMitchellTopic002 Are you sure? What kind of injuries are we talking about? VFreeformGoodspringsDocMitchellTopic002 Has this person's condition worsened? What are the symptoms? VFreeformGoodspringsDocMitchellTopic003 Must not be that serious, then. VFreeformGoodspringsDocMitchellTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] All right, that does sound bad. Here, take these - it should be enough. Good luck! VFreeformGoodspringsDocMitchellTopic004 [FAILED] That does sound messy, but not too bad. I can't spare supplies for cuts and bruises. VFreeformGoodspringsDocMitchellTopic005 Eventually we made our way out here. But uh... VFreeformGoodspringsDocMitchellTopic005 Well, when folks spend their lives in isolation, sometimes that ain't the best of things for learning to fight off germs. VFreeformGoodspringsDocMitchellTopic005 We was going to California, but Goodsprings was as far as we got. After she passed, wasn't no reason to keep going. VFreeformGoodspringsDocMitchellTopic005 I stayed so I could keep close to her. VFreeformGoodspringsDocMitchellTopic006 What'd you have in mind? VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellTownInfo Well, there's a general store just up the road. Run by a fella named Chet. He don't got nothing fancy, but he's got your basics covered. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellTownInfo If you're looking to wet your whistle, just past Chet's is the Prospector Saloon. The bartender there, Trudy, knows everyone in town. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellTownInfo Other than that, there's not much to see. Just people trying to scratch out a living. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellTownInfo Well, there's a general store just up the road. Run by a fella named Chet. He don't got nothing fancy, but he's got your basics covered. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellTownInfo If you're looking to wet your whistle, just past Chet's is the Prospector Saloon. The bartender there, Trudy, knows everyone in town. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellTownInfo Other than that, there's not much to see. Just people trying to scratch out a living. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellWhereIsThis This here's Goodsprings. Named after the water we got here, just down the road to the southeast. Goodsprings Source, they call it. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellWhereIsThis It's a quiet town, and that's how we like it. We don't go looking for trouble, though occasionally it sees fit to come looking for us. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellWhoRescued That'd be Victor. Curious fella. Sort of odd. And I don't just mean 'cause he's a robot. I couldn't tell you much about him. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellWhoRescued He's real friendly, don't get me wrong. You just get the sense that ain't the whole picture. Just a feeling. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellWhoRescued Keeps to himself, mostly. You want to know more about him, you'll have to ask him yourself. He has a shack on the southern edge of town. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellWhoShotMe I didn't see him or the men with him. You might ask around town, though. Could be someone saw which way they was headed. VFreeformGoodSpringsDocMitchellWhoShotMe Your best bet would probably be Trudy, the bartender at the saloon up the road. If anyone saw anything, she'd know about it. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsChetTopic000 I respect the way you've conducted yourself around here. Reminds me of myself in some ways. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsChetTopic000 From now on, you want to buy from Chet's, I'll give you wholesale prices. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsChetTopic000 Can do. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsChetTopic001 Take it easy now. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsChetTopic002 Now just hold on. I never voted to take on the Powder Gangers. That's a thousand cap investment you're talking about. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsChetTopic002 This again? Like I said, I'm against taking on the Powder Gangers. My supplies aren't cheap, you know. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsChetTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] You made your point. I can provide people with some leather armor and extra ammo. I sure hope it's worth it. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsChetTopic003 And, uh, I'll be guarding the store while all this is going on. I have to put my business first, you understand. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsChetTopic004 [FAILED] Look, you're bringing this on yourselves. There's no way I'm getting involved. But, hey, I'm sure you can buy what you need... VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsChetTopic005 Right. Just keep me out of it. Is there anything else? VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsChetTopic006 If Ringo doesn't head out on his own, I think we should hand him over. The town shouldn't get itself mixed into the problem. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsChetTopic006 Don't mistake that for coward talk, though. We're a town of survivors, and we'll fight tooth and nail if pushed, but we don't go looking for trouble. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsEasyPeteTopic000 Too dangerous. Gonna kill all yourselves if I let you touch it. Better to leave it buried - safer that way. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsEasyPeteTopic000 Told you before - it's too dangerous for a bunch of amateurs to handle. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsEasyPeteTopic001 [SUCCEEDED] Uh huh. Guess you know what you're doing. I'll go dig it up and get it ready. You'll have it by the time the fighting starts. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsEasyPeteTopic002 [FAILED] Too dangerous, sorry. Blow yourself up, blow your neighbor up, blow the whole town up. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsEasyPeteTopic003 Bad trouble. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsEasyPeteTopic004 Keep your gun handy if you go poking around some of the abandoned places around here, like the schoolhouse. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsEasyPeteTopic004 Wasteland critters like to move in when Sunny's not looking, so watch out. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsEasyPeteTopic004 Yup. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsEasyPeteTopic005 Welcome. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsEasyPeteTopic006 Uh huh. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsJoeCobbTopic001 He's some trader who decided he'd rather shoot than pay the toll for being in our territory. He's hiding somewhere in town. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsJoeCobbTopic001 Would serve these idiots right if me and my guys shot the place up after we got payback on Ringo. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRingoTopic001 Oh, sorry. I thought everybody knew already. I'm a trader with the Crimson Caravan Company. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRingoTopic001 I'm, uh, staying in town for a bit. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRingoTopic001 Like I said, I'm not from Goodsprings. I'm a trader with the Crimson Caravan Company. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRingoTopic002 Yeah. He doesn't look very tough, though. I hear he's afraid I'll shoot him down from one of the windows when I see him, and he's right. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRingoTopic002 I'll have a much bigger problem once his friends show up. There's no way I could handle all of them in a gunfight. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRingoTopic003 My caravan was on the return trip from California and heading back up to the company branch in New Vegas when we got jumped. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRingoTopic003 Not even a drop your weapons and hands up" before the bullets started flying. We put up a good fight VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRingoTopic003 I took a few of the bandits down before I ran, so I figure their friends are out for revenge. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRingoTopic004 At least a dozen, I'd say. And that was just the group that attacked us. For all I know, they've got a lot more friends lurking around. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRingoTopic005 I'm going to lay low for as long as I can, assuming the town doesn't throw me to the wolves. I've got no chance against the gang on my own. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRingoTopic005 I'm still laying low. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRingoTopic006 I saw you being awfully friendly with Joe Cobb, so no thanks. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRingoTopic006 No thanks. I think we'd need some of Goodsprings on our side, and I hear you're not exactly friendly with them. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRingoTopic006 We'd just end up sharing the same grave if it's just the two of us. Now, if some of the other people in town were also on board... VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRingoTopic007 Start with Sunny Smiles. She's been friendlier than most around here. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRingoTopic008 I was thinking of myself, actually. Who's going to watch my back while I'm watching yours? VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRingoTopic009 Well, I guess that means we're ready to go. Unless you think there's something else you can do? VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRingoTopic010 Try to hurry. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRingoTopic011 Oh. Well, I don't want to make a move until she's with us. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRubyTopic000 It looks like our little town got itself dragged into the middle of something we don't want anything to do with. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRubyTopic000 About a week ago, this trader, Ringo, comes into town. Survivor of an attack, he says. Bad men after him, needs a place to hide. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRubyTopic000 We figured he was just in shock, so we gave him a place to lie low. We didn't actually expect anyone to come after him. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRubyTopic001 Be careful out there. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRubyTopic002 He's holed up at the abandoned gas station up the hill. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRubyTopic005 You mean murder him? That's not our way, even if Cobb is scum. He can bluster and threaten all he wants. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRubyTopic006 Some of the others, like Sunny, will probably stand up for Ringo if he asks for help, which he hasn't. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRubyTopic006 Personally, I hope he sneaks out of town one night and takes the Powder Gangers with him. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRubyTopic007 {Positive Rep Bonus}Got a special discount for you, after what you done for us. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsRubyTopic007 I'm sure I've got something you'll like. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsSunnySmilesTopic000 I'll be waiting. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsSunnySmilesTopic000 Until next time. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsSunnySmilesTopic001 Say no more. I'm in. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsSunnySmilesTopic002 Joe Cobb talks about leaving us alone if we hand over Ringo, but I know his type. He and his friends will come after the town eventually. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsSunnySmilesTopic002 However, between you, me, and Ringo, we aren't exactly a force to be reckoned with. A lot of people around here look up to Trudy. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsSunnySmilesTopic002 If you could convince Trudy to join us, some of the folks in town might decide to help out as well. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsSunnySmilesTopic002 I know Easy Pete's got a stock of dynamite somewhere, and Chet just got a shipment of leather armor we could borrow. Talk to them as well. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsSunnySmilesTopic002 Finally, there's a good chance we'll all end up with extra holes in us, so if Doc Mitchell could cough up some extra stimpaks, that'd be great. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsSunnySmilesTopic002 Even though Joe Cobb's dead, his friends will come after the town eventually. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsSunnySmilesTopic002 However, between you, me, and Ringo, we aren't exactly a force to be reckoned with. A lot of people around here look up to Trudy. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsSunnySmilesTopic002 If you could convince Trudy to join us, some of the folks in town might decide to help out as well. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsSunnySmilesTopic002 I know Easy Pete's got a stock of dynamite somewhere, and Chet just got a shipment of leather armor we could borrow. Talk to them as well. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsSunnySmilesTopic002 Finally, there's a good chance we'll all end up with extra holes in us, so if Doc Mitchell could cough up some extra stimpaks, that'd be great. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsSunnySmilesTopic003 Just like that. I have a feeling that I'm going to end up fighting those guys one way or another, so I might as well get it over with. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsSunnySmilesTopic004 That's inspiring. You might want to keep your optimism to yourself if you try to recruit anyone else. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsSunnySmilesTopic005 A silver tongue would help. Convincing Trudy that we had a good plan to win the fight would also help. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsSunnySmilesTopic007 Easy Pete's pretty protective of his dynamite. You'd have to convince him you know a thing or two about explosives before he handed it over. VFreeformGoodspringsGoodspringsTrudyTopic003 Cobb hasn't exactly been looking for Ringo too hard - I think he's afraid that Ringo will ambush him, which is probably true. VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic000 That's more like it. The people can pick up their extra ammo and leather armor when they're ready. Was there anything else? VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic001 The leader was a New Vegas-type, typical city boy. He had a bunch of Great Khans with him, probably hired guns. VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic001 The Great Khans normally stay in their own territory way up northwest, on account of them being enemies with the NCR. VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic002 Twice. Both times, I drank a lot of liquor and lost most of my caps at the card tables. In that order, now that I think about it. VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic002 If you ever get to New Vegas, be sure to visit Gomorrah. It's the best casino in the city. You won't regret it. VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic002 Word of advice - behave. Between the NCR military police and Mr. House's robots, you don't want to be causing trouble on the Strip. VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic003 They're tough sons of bitches, mean but not crazy - they'll leave you alone unless you've got something they want. VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic003 The Great Khans deal in illegal chems. There's a good chance that most chems you come across were made by Great Khans. VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic005 I'm afraid I don't know much myself. Mr. House has got his own casino, the Lucky 38, but nobody goes in or out except his robots. VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic005 The other casinos follow Mr. House's rules, so I guess that makes him the leader of New Vegas. As far as I know, nobody's ever laid eyes on the guy. VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic005 I think that robot who pulled you out of the dirt belongs to Mr. House. If Mr. House is looking after you, that's gotta be a good thing, right? VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic006 Weapon mods are things like silencers, scopes, bigger magazines. VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic006 Special ammo includes things like armor-piercing bullets which don't hurt the target as much but let you punch through armor easier. VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic006 There's also hollowpoint bullets which have the opposite effect - you can kill unarmored targets easier, but they don't do shit against armor. VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic007 It's all about quantity over quality. Trouble is, you'll be cleaning and fixing your gun a lot more than usual when you use those kind of bullets. VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic008 What? Why the hell would I want to do that? VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic008 {annoyed}This again. What makes you think I've changed my mind? VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic009 [SUCCEEDED] All right, all right. I've got some extra leather armor and spare ammo for you. {pleading}Don't hurt anybody if you don't have to, all right? VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic009 [FAILED] Maybe" doesn't do much to convince me. No VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic010 [SUCCEEDED] All right! I can give you some of my extra leather armor and spare ammo. {pleading}Just don't hurt anybody if you don't have to, all right? VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic010 [FAILED] Look, just leave me out of this, all right? VFreeformGoodspringsGSChetTopic011 Yeah, quit it with the crazy talk. VFreeformGoodspringsGSEasyPeteTopic000 Was a prospector until I decided to settle here to get away from the NCR. Now I just take it easy and help out with the Brahmin and Bighorners. VFreeformGoodspringsGSEasyPeteTopic001 The one in the fancy suit seemed to be calling the shots, that's as much as I know. Other folks in town might know more. VFreeformGoodspringsGSEasyPeteTopic001 Word of advice, though: if you ever catch up with him, watch out. The man's got cold eyes like a snake. Can't be trusted, I'd say. VFreeformGoodspringsGSEasyPeteTopic002 Meat and hide, mostly. Can't put a pack on 'em - they just lay down until you take it off. VFreeformGoodspringsGSEasyPeteTopic002 Can find a bunch of wild ones high up in the hills, but gotta be careful around 'em. They can put up a decent fight if cornered. VFreeformGoodspringsGSEasyPeteTopic003 Nope. Had a pretty good claim once, way out east by the river, but got run off by Raiders. Eventually, got too old to keep going out. VFreeformGoodspringsGSEasyPeteTopic004 The machine? Harmless, no matter what Trudy says. She thinks it's hiding something, but I think it's just a broken down relic with no place to be. VFreeformGoodspringsGSEasyPeteTopic005 Yup. VFreeformGoodspringsGSEasyPeteTopic006 Nah, nah - means I poked through old buildings looking for working tech and such. Some folks just call it salvaging VFreeformGoodspringsGSEasyPeteTopic006 Way I see it, salvage means it's broken, near-worthless. Me, I looked for the good stuff - guns, chems, spare parts. Good money in it. VFreeformGoodspringsGSEasyPeteTopic007 Don't get me wrong - the NCR's got a lot of decent folk in it. It's just that they make you part of them whether you like it or not. VFreeformGoodspringsGSEasyPeteTopic007 Towns like Goodsprings and Primm don't stay independent for long, not if you've got something the NCR wants. Still, the NCR keeps the Legion away. VFreeformGoodspringsGSEasyPeteTopic008 They're slavers, led by a guy named {SEE-zer}Caesar. Or {less certainly, KAI-zar}Caesar. Not sure how you're supposed to say it. VFreeformGoodspringsGSEasyPeteTopic008 A couple of years ago they tried to take over Hoover Dam, but the NCR beat them back. The NCR didn't - or couldn't - finish the job, though. VFreeformGoodspringsGSEasyPeteTopic008 The Legion's got its strength back and is getting ready for another round at the Dam. My money's still on the NCR winning, but you never know. VFreeformGoodspringsGSEasyPeteTopic008 {warning}We've been hearing stories about Legionaries on the Nevada side of the river, so keep a gun handy. You don't want to get caught by them. VFreeformGoodspringsGSEasyPeteTopic009 The Dam powers a lot of New Vegas. And then there's all that clean water lying in Lake Mead, too. Anybody who owns the Dam owns the territory. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic000 {player helping Ringo}No. I got a funny feeling about you, and there's no way I'm trusting you to watch my back. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic000 {not outside town}Let me get out of town before we talk. Too many unfriendly ears around. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic000 What the hell for? Just farmers and ranchers out here. Not much worth stealing. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic000 Didn't you already ask me about this? What the hell for - this place is worthless. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic001 While you're doing that, I'll be here waiting for my friends. Join up with us once you're done. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic002 Fuck you, then. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic003 There are too many places to hide around here. He'd see me coming and then bam" VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic003 He doesn't know you, though. He probably won't shoot right away. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic005 All right! We got all sorts of shit in here. Nice job. Better take some for yourself in case you get hit. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic007 Same old shit that's been going on for years. The NCR and Legion are still fighting over Hoover Dam for some reason. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic008 I've run with some tough gangs, but I gotta admit they all got nothing on the Legion. I hear they stick you up on poles and it takes awhile to die. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic008 I ain't saying I'm afraid of them or nothing, but I'll be staying out of their way. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic009 Yeah. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic010 {contempt}New" California Republic - nothing new about it. Just a bunch of people with money and power pushing everyone else around." VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic010 They've got troops all over the Mojave, but it's a big desert so it's pretty easy to avoid them if you want. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic011 {pride}It is now. Me and the rest of the guys busted out of the NCR prison east of here and took over. Now we're calling the shots. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic012 None of your damn business. You ought to know better than to ask a man that kind of question. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic013 [SUCCEEDED] {listing his crimes}Robbed some people, burned some things, killed a few guys. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic013 [FAILED] Like I said, mind your own damn business. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic014 {warning}Yeah, forget about it. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic015 {realizing player has a good idea}Shit, yeah. Mayor Cobb - I like the sound of that. Running my own town will give me more pull with the guys at the prison, too. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic015 First things first, though. You go settle things with Ringo and put a bullet between his eyes while I round up my crew and let them in on the plan. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic016 {thoughtful}Having all the food we want ain't a bad idea, actually. Getting sick of eating prison rations. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic016 First things first, though. You go settle things with Ringo and put a bullet between his eyes while I round up my crew and let them in on the plan. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic017 Make up your damn mind. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic018 Never been there since the NCR's got troops all over it. Must be pretty important. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic019 No shit? I guess the next thing we need to do is hang out and wait for the rest of my gang to show up so we can talk about the plan. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic022 It's about time. I saw some of the townies gathering at the saloon, so we've got a militia to take down. We get rid of them and we own this place. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic023 Good. We'll still need a plan before we rush the town. I don't want to embarrass myself and get beat by a bunch of townies. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic023 We ain't got much in the way of supplies, so if you could shake down the old doctor and the store owner for some stuff, we'd be in good shape. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic023 Once you're done with that stuff - or none of it - say the word and we'll make our move. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic024 Yeah, I guess me and the guys could push this place over pretty easily. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic024 First things first, though. You go settle things with Ringo and put a bullet between his eyes while I round up my crew and let them in on the plan. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic025 I figure we'll hang around Goodsprings for awhile, maybe get some of the other gangs to join up with us. VFreeformGoodspringsGSJoeCobbTopic025 Won't kill anybody else unless we have to. Just as long as people do what we tell them, they'll be all right. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic000 All right, I'm ready. I hope. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic001 All right. I'll just wait here until you come get me. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic002 What? No! VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic003 Just keep an eye out for them while you travel. I've found cards in old boxes or forgotten on shelves. Can find some for sale, too. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic004 It's all I've got with me, but if you look me up at the Crimson Caravan's main camp in New Vegas, I'll pay you in full. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic006 All I've got left on me are a handful of caps, but you get me out of this, and I'll make sure the Crimson Caravan pays you back. You've got my word. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic008 I won't let you stick your neck out for free. I can't pay you back now, but I'll make sure the Crimson Caravan pays up. You've got my word. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic009 All right. Was there anything else you wanted to talk to me about? VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic010 I'll stick around for a bit longer, but I'll be gone in a few days. If you ever visit New Vegas, look me up at the Crimson Caravan camp. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic011 I've never stopped here until recently. You're better off asking one of the locals. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic012 It's been in business for a very long time, and is probably the biggest trading outfit in California. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic012 There's a branch up in New Vegas, but it hasn't been doing so well. Word is that the big boss herself, Alice McLafferty, is coming in to fix things. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic013 Err, thanks, I guess. Cobb wasn't the problem, though - I could've handled him if he ever found me. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic013 Cobb's friends are the bigger problem, and when he doesn't get back, they'll be coming here for blood. There's no way I fight can them all. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic014 I did have what was left of the Crimson Caravan money, but I wasn't sure if it was my right to just give it away. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic014 I owe you more than that, though, so look me up at the Crimson Caravan camp up in New Vegas if you ever visit. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic015 [FAILED] Look, I don't know you, so what I'm doing here isn't any of your business. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic016 [SUCCEEDED] That is a pretty flimsy story, I guess. The real reason that I'm staying is because there's a group of men out to kill me. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic019 It's a two-player game, and the winner takes the whole pot. You build a caravan" using the cards in your deck." VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic019 The goal is to create caravan bids that beat your opponent's bids, so there's more strategy than luck involved. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic019 It's why you won't see Caravan in any casino - too slow-paced, and more importantly, no house edge. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic019 Here, take this holotape - it goes into more specifics about the rules. You'll also need a deck, so take one of my spares. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic019 So... you feel like playing a game? VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic020 Don't worry - I'm not that good of a player. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic021 All right. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic022 Did you want something else? VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic024 Sorry about the gun. You just caught me off guard, that's all. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic024 {apologetic}We got off to a bad start. What say we start over with a friendly game of Caravan? {questioning}You know how to play? VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic026 Yeah. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic027 Yeah. VFreeformGoodspringsGSRingoTopic028 Sure. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic000 Well, the wildlife for one thing. Rowdy locals for another. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic000 They're protecting their own. Just happens to help us. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic000 They've been holding off this other group from the East, too. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic001 Sure. What did you want to know? VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic002 Southeast of here is Primm - can't miss it, since it has this giant old rollercoaster right in the middle of town. The NCR's got an outpost there. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic002 If you follow the road north, you'll eventually hit Sloan and Quarry Junction. They mine rocks or something, but I heard they got troubles lately. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic002 I wouldn't head that direction if I were you, though. Got critters up there that don't take kindly to getting shot. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic003 Around here, mostly coyotes and geckos. The coyotes are pretty dangerous in large packs, but otherwise they're nothing to really worry about. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic003 The geckos aren't too tough, but they've got a nasty bite. I've heard about bigger, nastier versions out in the wasteland, but I've never seen them. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic003 Stick to the roads when you can, and steer clear of the hills north of Goodsprings. The critters up there are big and poisonous. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic004 If you want to know anything else, just ask. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic005 I hunt geckos, mostly. The meat's pretty good and I can always find a buyer for the hides. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic005 I also help keep the town clear of radscorpions and coyotes. Not many people live in Goodsprings, so wildlife is always creeping in. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic006 At least six, Joe Cobb included. They look pretty mean. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic006 At least six. They look pretty mean. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic007 They're getting set up in cover, but it might not go well unless we get out there soon. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic008 Oh, Easy Pete came through with the dynamite. Here's your supply. I really hope I don't blow myself up. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic008 I'll be set up near the store. Let's hope that the gang doesn't manage to make it that far. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic009 At least his death was quick. Cobb's gang had much worse in mind for him. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic012 Got a funny name. Call themselves Caesar's Legion. Never seen 'em in these parts, so I couldn't tell you much. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic012 I hear rumors, that's about it. Supposedly they keep slaves and they got some real nasty ways of killing folks. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic012 But maybe that's just something folks in the NCR cooked up to make themselves seem more useful here. Less uninvited. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic013 The New California Republic. Bunch of settlers and soldiers coming in from the West, fixing on making Nevada their own. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic013 They can be right pushy, but the roads are safer 'cause of them, so I tend to let it go. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic013 Not that I got a choice. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic014 Looting the bodies isn't a priority to me, but you go right on ahead. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic015 You're right, we did. I just wish things had turned out better. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic016 Sure can. Take the road southeast out of town till it hits the freeway. Primm is the town with the roller coaster, straight south. Can't miss it. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic016 NCR patrols do a good job of keeping the highway clear, but I'd keep your gun where you can reach it easily. You never know who you'll run into. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic016 Off the road, you'll probably start running into hostile wildlife. My advice would be to stick to the highway when you can. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic019 Yeah, I guess there's a thing or two I could show you. Sounds like you need all the help you can get after what they done to you. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic019 Meet me outside, behind the saloon. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic020 Not in Goodsprings, no. But if you're up for a little scavenging, there's always the schoolhouse. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic020 Most of what's in there is junk, but there's this old safe that even Easy Pete wasn't able to crack with dynamite. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic020 If you want to take a shot at it, take these. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic021 If the lock's too much for you to handle, reading through the magazine might give you the edge you need. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic022 You'll need those to pick the lock. Be careful, though - put too much pressure on them and they'll snap. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic025 Always happy to help someone down on their luck. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic026 Oh. Well, go ahead and keep the stuff I gave you, anyway. It'll be more useful to you than me. VFreeformGoodspringsGSSunnySmilesTopic027 {annoyed at Chet's selfishness}I don't think give" is in Chet's vocabulary. Even with the town at stake VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic000 Mostly traders looking to buy Bighorner meat and hides. The traders are the main reason the general store manages to stay in business. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic000 Most travelers heading south on in the I-15 just push on towards Primm unless they're in desperate need of supplies. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic001 [SUCCEEDED] I was planning on sitting this one out, but for some reason I can't help but like you. I'm with you. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic001 Let me have a word with a few other folks and I'll see if I can't round up some more members for this militia you're creating. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic001 While everyone does own a gun, we could stand to be a little better equipped. The general store probably has what we need in stock. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic001 [FAILED] All the more reason for me to sit this one out. I'll be rooting for you, though. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic002 He's a convict. Just without the chains. Said his name was Cobb. Powder Gangers" is what they call themselves. Plenty more like him out there." VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic003 There's always something interesting going on, but the biggest news has to be the coming dustup between the NCR and the Legion over the Dam. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic004 They were having some kind of argument about it, but the guy in the checkered coat kept shushing them. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic004 Sounded like they came in from the north through Quarry Junction. If that's the case I can't say I blame them for not wanting to go back. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic005 The New California Republic's got the most power in Nevada. Money, troops, you name it. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic005 They do what they can to keep things safe in the region, but if you ask me, they're trying to do too much. They're spread too thin. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic006 {disgust mixed with fear}Slavers, killers, and all other kinds of trouble. They dress up like Roman soldiers, so there's no mistaking it when you see them. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic006 The rumor is that the Legion is far larger than the NCR lets on, and that it's been due to luck that the Legion hasn't overrun the territory. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic007 I'm pretty sure the NCR wants to hold onto the Dam because it's one of the few places around that can make electricity. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic007 The Legion are a bunch of savages, though. No idea why they'd want the Dam. Probably plan on destroying it or something. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic012 Not much, other than they're a bunch of freeloaders who expected a few rounds on the house. I was able to get them to pay up, though. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic012 Of course, one of the Great Khans did knock my radio to the floor by accident VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic013 I know that... thing... as much as anyone else around here. It mostly keeps to itself, which is just fine by me. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic013 {Victor dead}Good riddance to it is all I have to say. Never liked having it around. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic014 That whole area's overrun with the kind of critters that just get mad if you shoot 'em. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic014 Merchants avoid that whole stretch of I-15 like it's radioactive. Which it could be for all I know. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic015 I didn't hear exactly, but the leader was talking about the Strip. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic015 Fella wants to get there and avoid the 15, he'd have to go east. Take Highway 93 up. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic016 Chain gangs, really. The NCR brought them in from California to work on the rail lines. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic016 Problem is, it turns out that giving convicts a bunch of dynamite and blasting powder isn't the best idea. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic016 Was a big escape not too long ago. Some of 'em stuck together so they could make trouble. That's what we're dealing with now. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic017 Sure. The outside looks okay, but I think something broke on the inside. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic017 There'd be caps in it for you. I do like to hear what's going on in the world. And that Mr. New Vegas seems like such a gentleman. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic018 Yep, I heard it turn right back on after you got done tinkering with it. Here's some caps for the work. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic020 You're welcome. So, can I get you anything? VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic022 Other than rolling around once in awhile, it doesn't do anything useful as far as I can tell. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic022 I don't know why it took an interest in you, but I'd be careful. It's never helped anyone before. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic023 It acts friendly enough, but I don't trust that whole cheerful cowboy" act. I find it all very creepy." VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic024 Fine by me. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic025 All right. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic026 It was here when I took over the saloon seven years ago. Some people have said its owner lived here, but no one knows who it was. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic027 If you were able to get Ringo out of this mess, you'd have a decent reputation around Goodsprings. I'd even set you up with a discount. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic027 Of course, helping Ringo would also make the Powder Gangers mad, and they've got a {emphasize lot"}lot of friends out there." VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic028 {slight anger - player just asked about helping criminals}Don't know why you'd want to go do a thing like that. Yeah, you'd get on their good side, but people around here wouldn't appreciate it one bit. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic029 [SUCCEEDED] Not at all! I'm never sure how much is normally charged for this sort of thing. Here's some additional caps - that should be enough. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic029 Now, how about spending some of those caps in the saloon? VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic029 [FAILED] I could get another working radio with the caps I already gave you. Now, how about spending some of those caps right now? VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic030 [SUCCEEDED] That does sound like a good plan. All right, you seem to know what you're doing, so you can count me in. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic030 Let me have a word with a few other folks and I'll see if I can't round up some more members for this militia you're creating. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic030 While everyone does own a gun, we could stand to be a little better equipped. The general store probably has what we need in stock. VFreeformGoodspringsGSTrudyTopic030 [FAILED] No thank you. Good luck with your, uh, ambush."" VFreeformGoodspringsTopic002 Happy trails! VFreeformGoodspringsTributeOfTerror Please don't hurt us no more. I'm begging you. VFreeformGoodspringsTributeOfTerror We'll... we'll pay you. Whatever we got, you can have it. We'll put together a collection every couple of days. VFreeformGoodspringsTributeOfTerror We'll leave it under a rock beneath the old windmill. Think of it as a... as a sign of respect. VFreeformGoodspringsVictorTopic000 Don't mention it! I'm always ready to lend a helping hand to a stranger in need. VFreeformGoodspringsVictorTopic001 I was out for a stroll that night when I heard the commotion up at the old bone orchard. Saw what looked like a bunch of bad eggs so I laid low. VFreeformGoodspringsVictorTopic001 Once they'd run off, I dug you up to see if you were still kicking. Turns out, you were, so I hauled you off to the Doc right quick. VFreeformGoodspringsVictorTopic002 Can't say that I'm familiar with the rascals. Some of the fine folks in town might be able to help you out with that. VFreeformGoodspringsVictorTopic003 I moseyed into town, oh, ten, fifteen years ago? Before that, I... hmmm, I can't quite seem to recall. Odd. VFreeformGoodspringsVictorTopic003 Anyway, it's a right peaceful town and I reckon it's as fine a place to settle as any. VFreeformGoodspringsVictorTopic004 I'm a Securitron, RobCo security model 2060-B. If you ever see any of my brothers, tell them Victor says howdy. VFreeformGoodspringsVictorTopic005 Trouble with rustlers? Count me in, pardner. Those varmints will be running home with their tails between their legs soon enough. VFreeformGoodspringsVictorTopic006 Now just hold on! I meant it when I said I'd help you. I guess I must've dozed off. That's never happened before. VFreeformGoodspringsVictorTopic007 [SUCCEEDED] All right, but put everything back the way you found it! VFreeformGoodspringsVictorTopic007 [FAILED] No offense, pardner, but I'd rather not have you rooting around in there. It's technical-like. VFreeformGoodspringsVictorTopic008 Really? I must've dozed off. Although, that's never happened before. VFreeformGoodspringsVictorTopic009 Didn't hear a thing. I guess I dozed off there for a minute. VFreeformGoodspringsVictorTopic012 Override? That can't be right. Probably just a malfunctioning tube somewhere. VFreeformGoodspringsVictorTopic012 I truly am sorry I couldn't help you, pardner. Was there something else you wanted to talk about? VFreeformGoodspringsVictorTopic013 Never heard of it. VFreeformGoodspringsVictorTopic013 I truly am sorry I couldn't help you, pardner. Was there something else you wanted to talk about? VFreeformGoodspringsVictorTopic014 That's a puzzle, all right. I'm sure it's nothing. VFreeformGoodspringsVictorTopic014 I truly am sorry I couldn't help you, pardner. Was there something else you wanted to talk about? vFreeformHooverDamCommanderGreeting Alpha Squad reporting in. Thanks for the support back there. We've been assigned to ensure you make it to the Legate. How can we be of assistance? VFreeformHooverDamHDColonelMooreTopic000 Then I suggest you make your way back outside. My men have orders to shoot anyone caught sneaking around in sensitive areas. VFreeformHooverDamHDColonelMooreTopic001 You say Crocker sent you? Let me see... I just received a memo regarding him recently and haven't had a chance to read it in detail. VFreeformHooverDamHDColonelMooreTopic001 Ah, the matter with the so-called Kings. Crocker's been wringing his hands while good people die for too long, and now the matter's fallen to me. VFreeformHooverDamHDColonelMooreTopic001 Unlike the good ambassador, I don't intend to blink. Tell the leader of this gang to stand down or face annihilation. VFreeformHooverDamHDColonelMooreTopic001 That is his choice. If he chooses the latter, a squad of my men will be there to back you up. Any questions? VFreeformHooverDamHDColonelMooreTopic001 You know, I just received the strangest memo about Freeside. It said that Colonel Hsu has already dispatched a squad to take care of the problem. VFreeformHooverDamHDColonelMooreTopic001 I'll let Hsu's men deal with things, but the good ambassador is going to learn a harsh lesson regarding protocol. VFreeformHooverDamHDColonelMooreTopic001 I trust you can find your own way out. VFreeformHooverDamHDColonelMooreTopic002 Good. When the task is done, report back to Crocker. My men have other orders and will return here on their own to make their report. VFreeformHooverDamHDColonelMooreTopic002 Dismissed. VFreeformHooverDamHDColonelMooreTopic003 Do you have any idea what our current situation is? As we speak there is a huge army of madmen not ten miles from here waiting to kill us all. VFreeformHooverDamHDColonelMooreTopic003 We don't have the luxury of long-term diplomacy any longer. Anyone that could prove a hindrance in the battle to come must be dealt with swiftly. VFreeformHooverDamHDColonelMooreTopic003 You have your orders. I expect you to carry them out. VFreeformHooverDamHDColonelMooreTopic003 Dismissed. VFreeformHooverDamHDColonelMooreTopic004 Not exactly. Give them the chance to do the right thing at least. Personally, I doubt they'll do it. VFreeformHooverDamHDColonelMooreTopic004 Crocker's been making overtures to these savages for months and gotten nowhere. Expect a fight, but don't look for one. VFreeformHooverDamHDColonelMooreTopic004 Dismissed. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic000 Excellent. You've done very well indeed. These tribals will make useful machete fodder. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic000 And if it should turn out we need their land later, well, it's not like we don't have the force to drive them out again. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic000 In the meantime, however, I have something else I want you to look into. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic000 We've had some disturbing reports recently concerning the Omertas, one of the Three Families that run the Strip. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic000 Our intelligence has discovered that high ranking members of the Omertas have been having clandestine meetings for the past several months. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic000 We haven't been able to determine whom they've been meeting with, but if it's Caesar's men, we'll need to act. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic000 I need you to uncover what they're up to, and stop it if it threatens the NCR. Any questions? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic001 Then stop wasting my time and get on it! VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic002 Since the majority of my men are on assignment dealing with the Legion, I need someone to handle other matters that have arisen. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic002 Make no mistake, there's a battle coming, and I intend to make sure there are no loose ends when the time comes. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic002 One such loose end is a gang known as the Great Khans. Have you heard of them? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic003 But not too busy to come all the way out here? I don't think so. Stay a while, and listen to my offer. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic004 Then I don't need to tell you that they can be a pain in the ass. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic004 The NCR has a rather sordid history with them, and I'm concerned that we'll find them aiding our enemies when the Legion attack comes. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic004 That is, unless we get to them first. I want you to visit them in their canyons to the far west and make sure they're in no shape to join the Legion. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic004 They're just another gang of raiders as far as I'm concerned, so deal with them appropriately. Any questions? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic005 Good, that anger is something I can use, and I think you may get a chance to settle your score sooner than you might have planned. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic006 They're a rowdy bunch, and pride themselves as warriors. The dark leather and horned helmets they wear are pretty distinctive. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic007 Then you'll need to make sure none of them are left to do so. Any other questions? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic008 I can't lend you any troops, but I've already sent word to quartermaster Bardon that you're to be given full access to our hardware. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic008 You'll have to pay for what you take, however. We can't afford to give away equipment. Did you have any other questions? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic009 Good. I look forward to hearing of your progress. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic009 Dismissed. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic011 Liza O'Malley at the Embassy may have some information for you as well. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic011 Dismissed. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic012 Good riddance. We've had reports for years that they're the ones who supply the Fiends with chems, but no one's done anything about it. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic012 In any event, no one will miss them. And I've got another mission for you. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic013 Head to their casino, Gomorrah, and ask around. If you discover that what they're up to threatens the NCR, stop it. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic013 The Omertas themselves likely won't be forthcoming, so you may need to talk to some of their help to pick up a trail. Anything else? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic014 Our preliminary research shows that the Omertas used to do some business in Freeside, mostly buying weapons. Any other questions? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic015 [SUCCEEDED] Fine, this isn't worth the trouble to fight over. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic015 [FAILED] No, we have men to outfit and are putting it to good use. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic016 Excellent. You'd think living in the lap of luxury and power would be enough for some people, but no. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic016 But we have other problems. While investigating the Omertas, what little I could on my end, I came across something much more sinister. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic016 Evidence suggests that Mr. House is planning to make some kind of move when the battle breaks out, and I'm guessing he won't be coming to our rescue. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic016 While we don't know what his exact plans are, my orders are to avoid all risks. I'm sending you to take Mr. House out of the equation. Any questions? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic016 Now that that's out of the way, let's see... Mr. House {emph}was a concern, but someone conveniently dealt with him for us. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic016 Oh, that reminds me, you might be happy to know that your efforts haven't gone unnoticed. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic017 The next time we speak, I expect you to have something for me. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic018 [SUCCEEDED] I wouldn't dismiss it that lightly, but it's nothing we need get involved with for now. Good work, I suppose. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic018 [FAILED] I highly doubt that. You'd do well to report only facts to me, otherwise we might have ourselves a problem. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic018 However, their activity has quieted down some so maybe my original information was wrong. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic019 If you must, but please keep it brief. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic020 But he's still alive? I'll have to remember to send someone to follow up on that later. Anyway, at least he's out of the picture for the time being. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic020 You might be happy to know that your efforts haven't gone unnoticed, either. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic020 The brass have been throwing around the idea of having the president visit the dam for a while now. To rally the troops and boost morale and such. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic020 With our recent achievements, they finally feel secure enough to stage the damn thing. But while it's being planned, I have one last mission for you. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic020 Several years ago, we managed to wrest the HELIOS One solar power station from the Brotherhood of Steel chapter local to this area. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic020 It was a crushing victory, but no one's heard a peep from the Brotherhood since. Most people assume the Brotherhood is scattered and not a threat. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic020 Recently we've had scouts go missing in an area west of HELIOS, and I'm concerned that the Brotherhood is involved. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic020 I want you to find them, and once you do, finish them for good. Any questions? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic021 Then that's one more nuisance we won't have to worry about. Good work. Our efforts haven't gone unnoticed, either. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic022 I shouldn't have to say this, but please don't bother me until the mission is completed. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic024 {Player talked Khans into helping}No, just because you secured the aid of the Khans, {said under her breath}assuming they don't try to kill us, don't think the Brotherhood will be so easily swayed. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic024 These are people that both hate us *and* outgun us. There can be no compromise. Anything else? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic024 Don't even think about it. Any Brotherhood survivors likely harbor a deep grudge against us. We can't afford to leave such an enemy alive. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic024 Any other objections? Maybe you'd like to bring the Brotherhood some flowers? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic025 A fair question, and one I've had our strategists think about for some time. Their consensus is that we must focus on the one thing we can count on. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic025 With the Brotherhood that's their obsessive attachment to technology. They'd never go anywhere that didn't have working power. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic025 I'm willing to bet that wherever they're hiding, there's a working reactor powering their equipment. That's their vulnerability. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic025 Detonate that reactor, and we can safely cross the Brotherhood off our list of concerns. Was there anything else? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic026 After the battle, we consolidated our hold on the plant before pursuing our enemies. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic026 It was a mistake, to be sure, but there wasn't really any place for them to go. When we finally gave chase, however, they had simply vanished. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic026 Some of our people think they had some means of conveyance, like the vertibirds the Enclave used, and hightailed it out of here. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic026 I think that they found someplace to hide close to HELIOS, and never went that far at all. Any other questions? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic027 Dismissed. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic028 {Triumph, relief}Ah, that's a relief. A Brotherhood attack while we're busy with the Legion would be catastrophic. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic028 The situation being what it is, we can't afford to lose even a single man unnecessarily. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic029 Don't give up. They're out there, somewhere, and we're not safe until they've been destroyed. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic031 {She is not pleased}And you believed them? Do you have any idea how long we've been fighting those bastards? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic031 Ugh, Crocker will have a field day with this. He'll want to establish diplomatic relations with them, for pete's sake. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic031 But we've got more important matters to attend to. The president is due to arrive soon, and we're sure the Legion won't waste such an opportunity. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic031 I want you to assist the security detail we've prepared for the president. His safety is critical to maintaining the mens' fighting spirit. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic031 Go up to the visitor center and speak to Ranger Grant. He's in charge of security during the president's visit. Dismissed. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic032 Good, his death could have had a major impact on morale. This whole affair was ill-advised from the start, and I for one am glad it's over. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic032 While you were out, General Oliver arrived and briefed all senior officers regarding a change in our strategy. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic032 I'm not at liberty to divulge what was said, but I've been instructed to send you to him immediately. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic032 He's set up his camp in the office area at the south end of this power plant. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic032 Dismissed. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic033 Damn it! The timing couldn't be any worse. I tried to warn those buffoons, but they insisted on this little show. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic033 We'll be lucky if the men don't throw down their guns and surrender as the Legion approaches. I guess there's nothing to be done about it now. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic034 Then what the hell are you doing down here? Get back topside and protect the president! VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic035 This is no time for questions! Get back topside and protect the president! VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic036 If you wander around the wasteland you'll find all sorts of tribes, villages, and such where people spend most of their time trying to survive. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic036 The NCR gives its citizens a shot at something more. We have laws, currency, health care, government. All the things that were lost. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic036 It's not perfect, but it's worth protecting, which is why we also have the largest military in existence. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic036 I don't have time to discuss all the different aspects of the NCR with you, but if you want it all in a nutshell - the NCR is progress. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic037 Wait for me downstairs, this won't take long. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic038 I joined up at a young age. Was barely sixteen when I left home and volunteered to be in the military. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic038 Got a few strange looks at first, but those stopped when I got top marks across the board during training, and became an officer at seventeen. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic038 A few years went by, my squad helped take down gangs of raiders here and there, and one day an invitation to join the Rangers arrived. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic038 Those were the best years of my life. Doing something that truly matters, and having the freedom to handle it as you see fit. Then I got injured. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic038 Everyone was very supportive. I received a promotion to colonel and given greater responsibility, but my days as a Ranger were over. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic039 It's of immense strategic value to the NCR. Hoover Dam sends enough electricity west to light every city and major settlement. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic039 It's moderately defensible, with a single point of entry on the east side. To get to the power plants below, the enemy has to cross the entire top. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic039 The Legion's tried to cross the water on a few occasions, but slow-moving boats make easy targets for sharpshooters. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic040 They're organized, I'll give them that. The few times I've encountered them firsthand, I've been impressed with their discipline. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic040 I've heard they don't allow women in their military, considering them nothing more than breeding stock. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic040 Their men, however, are typically quite large, in phenomenal condition, and prefer close-quarter weapons. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic040 Recent engagements have taught us to fear their shock attacks, so it's a blessing that we seem to have superior firearms. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic041 I command the garrison here at the dam, yes, but Colonel {shoo}Hsu over at McCarran is technically in charge of the area's forces. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic042 I do, sometimes. There are days I'd give anything to out in the open air, planting explosives and laying down covering fire. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic042 But here I am, stuck in the same stale office day after day, while other people get to do the actual fighting. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic042 But enough reminiscing. Did you have other questions? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic043 Oh, it has its perks, to be sure. I'm free to see that things on a large scale are done my way, and don't have to tolerate any disagreement. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic043 Those few people in a position to countermand my orders only care about results, and in that regard I never leave them less than pleased. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic044 I can only spare a few more moments. What did you wish to speak about? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic045 I've never once seen a single one of them back down, or disobey an order. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic045 They'll happily charge a fortified position with little more than a sharpened stick if ordered to, and do so without hesitation. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic046 Yes, extremely so. They must use conditioning routines on par with the rangers, or better. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic046 Their soldiers can run near half again as fast as my best men, and close distances with frightening speed. And they're as strong as they are fast. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic046 Their superior physicality makes them extremely dangerous up close, so I've had the men run drills for taking on larger, stronger opponents. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic046 But they've all been instructed to take them down at range, if possible. I've made it clear I don't want any heroes in my squad, just survivors. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic047 Their standard kit seems to be a blade of some sort and light armor. Guns are not uncommon, but are of questionable condition. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic047 While they prefer to use their blades, it's common for them to scavenge better weapons from their enemies and use those. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic047 The men have been told to toss their weapons over the side of the dam if they receive a fatal wound, but I doubt many will remember. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic049 As I said, our scouts were some ways west of HELIOS when they disappeared. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic050 Don't fool yourself. I've dealt with enough of these gangs to know that they can't be trusted. Was there anything else? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic051 Yes, that's what he wants us to believe. And when we turn our attention to other threats, he'll begin moving against us. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic051 No, far safer to simply eliminate him and the risk he represents now. Besides, with him gone, New Vegas will truly be ours once the dust settles. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic051 Any other objections or questions? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic054 Very well, but be brief. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic055 To name a few things off the top of my head - expand his borders, get the NCR and Legion to wipe each other out, and seize Hoover Dam. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic055 Any other questions? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic056 We've had reported sightings of Mr. House's Securitrons spying on both NCR and Legion forces. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic056 Also, given a recent analysis of the sightings, we now estimate that Mr. House has at least four times as many securitrons as previously assumed. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic056 He wouldn't show his hand like that if he weren't prepared to move. And neither the NCR or Legion can spare the troops to investigate. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic056 Which is why I'm sending you. Any other questions? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic057 Perhaps, but that's not my problem. Vegas is a nice place for the men to go on vacation, but it'd be an acceptable loss next to the Dam. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic058 Good, then you have your orders. See that Mr. House does not present a problem. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic058 Dismissed. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic059 Surprisingly good. Our forces have managed to secure the region with little resistance, and trade should soon reach an all-time high. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic059 The brass was particularly surprised by the lack of domestic threats in the area. They were prepared to spend months pacifying known troublemakers. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic059 When they found those threats absent, they turned to the man in charge of the area, but Hsu being Hsu, he denied having anything to do with it. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic059 So now the men have to answer to Brigadier General Moore, and both they and I have you to thank for it. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic059 We made a good team. I hope we can work together again in the future. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic060 I'm afraid I'm going to have to disappoint you. There's much to be done, but nothing for someone with your skills. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic060 You should take some time off. You've earned it. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic061 With their leader dead, the rest of their army retreated to the east. We've sent scouts to track them, but that's it. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic061 We don't have the forces or supplies necessary to chase them down. More's the pity. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic061 Still, I've sent a few skilled men out to make sure their journey is eventful". It should be a long time before they even think of returning." VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic062 Of course, have they been dealt with? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic063 Very well. Do you know what they're up to? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic064 Okay. Is he still a threat? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic065 Fine by me. Have you found them yet? VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic066 Good, I've got more work than time to do it. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic067 An alliance? That's an interesting proposition - any plan where I can throw packs of raiders at the enemy instead of my own soldiers is a good one. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic069 An alliance? That's an interesting proposition - any plan where I can throw packs of raiders at the enemy instead of my own soldiers is a good one. VFreeformHooverDamVHDColonelMooreTopic070 What precisely about them did you wish to discuss? VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic000 What the hell are you talking about? {Accepts paper}What is this? VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic000 The Free Economic Zone of New Vegas..." What the {emph}hell does that mean?! {Angry at end}Oh VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic000 Demands NCR's immediate withdrawal..." {Building anger}Withdrawal? Like fucking {emph}hell we're withdrawing... we just held the dam VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic000 {Cold, pissed}This paper of yours? Isn't fit to wipe my ass. If you think after all that's happened, I'm going to grab my ankles and take it like the Legion... VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic010 This battle is far from over. Once the reinforcements from McCarran arrive, the counteroffensive will begin. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic011 You've done some great work for us up to this point, and we are hoping to use your{pause, emph} unique abilities to aid us once again. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic011 Thanks to the tasks my subordinates have delegated to you, the NCR now has a unique opportunity. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic012 {Brisk, dismissive}Good, you just stand there and listen, then, that'll make this go faster. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic013 Fool! We've fortified this place to hold out indefinitely against an army. What chance do you think you have? VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic014 We now have a chance to take the fight to those bastards on their home turf. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic014 I am in the beginning stages of planning out an assault on The Fort. I've made calls to our allies, and they are on their way to our position. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic014 Once our forces are in placed and garrisoned here, we'll begin our assau{assault, interrupted}lt. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic015 The army of bloodthirsty maniacs with you would disagree. No, I think I'll hold the fort here until our reinforcements arrive. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic017 Thanks for your support. I'll make sure that the NCR Emergency radio is up and running. Go kill those bastards. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic018 Like I said earlier, we have some supplemental forces on the way, but this wasn't the situation I was expecting, so I can only offer what is on hand. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic019 {Sighs}If that's true, then there's nothing else for it. My men and I will hold out as long as we can. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic020 Do you really think your ragtag band of slavers has more manpower than the armed forces of the NCR? VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic020 I'd pit one of my men against two of your cutthroats any day. Backed by additional troops, we'll mop the floor with your pathetic Legion. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic021 And go where? According to you, the road west is blocked. And while you might let us by, I highly doubt your allies will do the same. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic022 My thoughts exactly. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic023 Better that than simply give up. What other option is available? Retreat? VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic024 Then let's get this over with. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic025 [SUCCEEDED] Perhaps I do have a secret tunnel out of here. But that doesn't change anything. My duty is to stay and fight. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic025 [FAILED] Even if we hadn't blocked the river to prevent the Legion from coming at us from the south, that'd be absurd. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic025 Caesar's forces are arrayed all along the eastern bank. We'd be under fire the whole way. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic028 My men and I are soldiers. We share an obligation to follow orders. And our orders are to hold this dam. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic030 It will see that our orders are carried through to the end. That's what good soldiers do. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic032 [SUCCEEDED] Y-You're right. These men have placed their lives in my hands, and I won't throw them away for a lost cause. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic032 Don't expect to hold this place for very long, however. The NCR will be back. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic032 [FAILED] It sure as hell is. Aside from being an important source of power and water, it's a symbol of hope. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic032 Though I wouldn't expect someone like you to understand that. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic033 We choose to stay, though I think we'll all debate you on the dying part. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic033 I suppose there's no point in remaining here any longer. Very well, my men and I will leave. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic033 Don't expect to hold this place for very long, however. The NCR will be back. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic035 {Uneasy, army of robots suddenly appear}And... uh... well. These uh... these boys with you? Hello, there, smiley. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic039 {Cold}I would sooner spit on the grave of my dead mother than let some courier-walk-the-wasteland-fuck talk to me like that. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic039 Who the hell do you think you are? Looking to cash your chips to the sound of NCR bullets, eh? I can oblige. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic042 {Cold}Look, I know you're riding high right now, but let me tell you - you ain't pissing on me right now, you're pissing on the Bear. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic042 You been far enough West I'm guessing to know how far that claw stretches. Fuck with the Bear, and... VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic046 You want me to make tracks out of here, head back West, tail between our legs? VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic046 No, I came for a fight today, and if you're looking to make me budge, you better have a damn good left hook or I'm not going anywhere. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic046 Do you know what you're doing? Making a nation - like you think you're doing, ain't like chowing down on a pile of Fancy Lad Snack Cakes. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic046 Think you got the guts to carve out a frontier? Build towns, protect the roads, run supplies, train troops? VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic050 {Sighs}Hell. Can't believe we got suckered by a slip of a woman. Should've watched the flank while Caesar's best were making all that noise. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic050 {Sighs}Hell. Can't believe we got suckered by some road jockey. Should've watched the flank while Caesar's best was making all that noise. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic050 I know what those robots of yours can do on a bad day, and I'm not eager to toss lives at them just to make a point. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic050 {Lowers voice}But if you're taking this place, you better hope you can hold it. I'll give my superiors my opinion, but I don't think they're going to listen. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic050 So if NCR comes at you, and it will, pray you're ready. I promise you, our situations reversed, I'd see you hang. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic053 Well, at least I can talk to you unlike that bastard Caesar and that plate-faced general. It'll do. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic053 {Chuckles}Guess sometimes you get the bull, other times you get the horns. Still, at least some lives got saved this day. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic057 Fine. Come on, men, we're moving out. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic059 {Confused}Vegas? What, the families? {Beat, sudden surprise/sinking feeling}Or... House. You're talking about House. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic060 What the hell are you on about? House? He's just a rumor on the Strip, never leaves his... VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic061 Gambling? What, you looking to start a game now that the smoke's died down- VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic062 You know I won't surrender the Dam, and {contempt}certainly not to the ghost man of Vegas and his new right-hand-of-the-week. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic065 We held this place for years, kicked one Legate out of here so hard Caesar burned him to a crisp. It's our post, we've fought for it. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic065 I'll fight for it again today. If you're looking to convince me otherwise, you better have a lot more reasons than you just telling me to go. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic065 {Chuckles}Look, House... Vegas... it's pretty, got you blinded a bit maybe, but NCR's got perks, too. Think about it before you sign on with him. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic065 And if you say no VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic069 I'm not going to throw away the lives of my men just to make a point. And there'll be other days. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic074 Lot of PreWar factories and tech lying around the Mojave, our engineers'll get it running again, no matter how much damage you've done down there. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic075 Right now, they're all that's standing here - well, except for the corpses. So that's your plan, hold the Dam here all by your lonesome? VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic076 [SUCCEEDED] Yeah... but I wasn't expecting a fight when I came up here. {Beat}And now that we're talking, I don't like the sound of things. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic076 [FAILED] {Chuckles}That so, well, if all you brought is words, then this is going to be one short conversation. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic078 Even if we're running at one percent for a year, it's still worth holding this place. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic079 [SUCCEEDED] {He's beaten}Of all the goddamn luck... VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic079 [FAILED] Oh, last you looked VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic080 [SUCCEEDED] Fucking PreWar RobCo pieces of shit... VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic080 [FAILED] {Sarcastic}Yeah, now where would we find an experienced computer specialist in the NCR? We'll find one, don't you worry. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic081 [SUCCEEDED] {Beaten}No... I can tell it'd just be a wasted trip. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic081 [FAILED] Considering how long we've been here, we know it well. We've patched this place up plenty - we'll get it running again. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic082 They wouldn't. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic083 [SUCCEEDED] {Defeated, downcast}No... no, you're here in the Legate's camp first, I think that says enough. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic083 [FAILED] And maybe you fed him a line of Brahmin shit, too, enough to make his dumb ass think twice... I ain't Legion, and I need more than words. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic084 The Brotherhood? On the attack? I think we would have heard something from them by now. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic085 [SUCCEEDED] {Defeated, pissed}This has been a fuck of a day. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic085 [FAILED] No, I think they blew their load here today with their fireworks... they'll prefer targets closer to home. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic086 I think you're cashed out enough that my chances are pretty good. And like I said, I'm not leaving the Dam now the Legion's been broken. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic087 [SUCCEEDED] {Gives up, he's been beaten}Godammit. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic087 [FAILED] If that's the best you can muster, then it's you who should be backing up slow, and your buddies with you. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic088 And we're glad to have you - and whether you're a soldier of the Republic or not, you're it in my eyes. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic088 Sometimes the Republic gets lost along the way while it's trying to follow its instincts... but when soldiers like you come along... VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic088 It helps get them back on track, and does it by example. And what you've done here today, that's going to keep us going for a while. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic091 [SUCCEEDED] The Brotherhood? {Beat}Last thing we fucking need now. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic091 [FAILED] Yeah, and we'll kick their ass again like we did at HELIOS One - tell them to come, we got a whole mess of armor-piercing rounds. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic092 Least we could do. And seeing those shits of Caesar kicking dirt as they ran - did my heart good, let me tell you. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic092 Might see some recruitment numbers rise, build some morale out in the Mojave long enough for NCR to find its feet again. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic092 All due to you - again, you have my thanks. And all the West, too, once they pass it over the radio... {mutters}after signing the right release forms. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic093 [SUCCEEDED] {Defeated}First the Legion, then the Brotherhood hitting us is about the last thing the Republic needs right now. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic093 [FAILED] Yeah, and we'll kick their ass again like we did at HELIOS One - tell them to come, we got a whole mess of armor-piercing rounds. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic094 [SUCCEEDED] {Defeated}This has been a fuck of a day. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic094 [FAILED] You go on and do that. Me? I think they shot their last wad today... from now on, they'll prefer targets closer to home. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic095 {Sigh, confiding}Look. The NCR isn't everyone here, and it definitely ain't you. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic095 It's filled with people that take action and don't wait for someone to say what's right and what's wrong and make sure the proper form's filled out. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic095 When there's an example of that kind of success... that can shake things up enough so the good that came with the intention shines through. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic096 Figured as much. Come on, you sons of bitches, we're ready. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic098 I think you're cashed out enough that my chances are pretty good. And like I said, I'm not leaving the Dam now the Legion's been broken. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic099 [SUCCEEDED] True, guess I'm a little too used to seeing Securitrons in Vegas to think they'd turn and be bad news - and I know how bad they can get. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic099 [FAILED] {Chuckles}If that's your idea of diplomacy, then things are looking miles better on my side of the fence. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic100 {Frowns}Looking to make a deal, then? All right... let's hear it. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic101 You sure got its heart beating in new ways... but that just makes me want all of it, not handouts. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic102 [SUCCEEDED] If you're buying our ear for the moment, Hoover Dam's more than a fistful of caps to my superiors. Vegas is interesting... the East... VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic102 That'll take too long to build up to generate capital - 'course, since you'd have to guard it during that time... don't know, could go either way. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic102 [FAILED] {Irritated}What, loot we'd get anyway once we kicked your ass and more? No, I don't think so. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic103 [SUCCEEDED] Hnh. Willing to tackle the caravan families? Keeping that bunch in line... well, that's no easy job. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic103 In fact, that's such a shitty job, those caravan families will be the one bottlecapping you to death inch by inch - and that sounds good to me. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic103 Be a nice turnabout from your friend, House, and all the bottlecapping he's been doing to NCR for years. Sounds sweet to me. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic103 [FAILED] {Snorts}With your wheeled buddies as merchants? No, the East is going to be a hard nut to crack, and I don't think you know what you're in for. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic104 [SUCCEEDED] So you're saying without you, Hoover Dam just beats slower and dies. I believe it, I saw it myself this day, you woke it up, true enough. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic104 Still, even power from the Dam - that's not enough to wash the salt out of the wound here, and it only benefits NCR in the Mojave, not the West. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic104 [FAILED] Well, that kind of fence-sitting is exactly what makes me think we can make use of the... improvements here. Without you. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic105 [SUCCEEDED] Hmmm. Well... Vegas burns brighter than most cities West of the Divide, and that glitter has its appeal. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic105 Not sure that's going to mend fences with the folks back West, though. But... VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic105 [FAILED] No, you tricked us once, and taking more gifts from you deeper into NCR's just asking for trouble by my book. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic106 No, no, no... you've given me enough ammo for the Republic... but what one head may like, the other bear head may not. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic106 Still, I'm not about to add blood to the mix since you could've done us like the Legion now if you wanted. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic109 We clean up, take prisoners, watch the East for any more trouble from the Legion... though I think they're still running, according to our scouts. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic109 After that, we'll see what happens when the dust settles and how the Mojave looks now without Caesar coming for its throat. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic109 Something tells me we better enjoy this breather while we can... and if that means Vegas, then you and the troops have earned it. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic110 Course not. You earned it - rest up, let us carry things for a while. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic110 {To himself}Kind of curious how this is going to pan out in the long run... but I'll guess history'll tell us in its own sweet time. VFreeformHooverDamVHDGeneralOliverTopic111 {Chuckles}Can't keep the courier spirit down, eh? Fair enough. We'll clean up here. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic000 {Disdain}Many graves in the East are filled with those who said as much, with braver words, not backed by strength. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic000 It is Caesar's {emph}will this gate to the West bear the flag of the Legion. {Beat, a little quieter, resolved}Caesar's will shall be done. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic001 {Disgust}I see you fight with words, like all beneath the flag of the bear. Let us hope your skill with weapons proves greater. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic002 My army has been ready for some time now. My orders were to await the coming of a messenger. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic002 You are messenger and message both, it would seem. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic003 Caesar's will is made truth through me. I am a hammer against all that defy his rule. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic003 If you seek to stand against me, you shall fall as the West falls. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic004 Caesar's will is the will of the Legion. And the West... all beneath the flag of the Great Bear exist to test the strength of the Legion. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic004 The West shall fall as the East fell, and all the tribes that stretch to the setting sun shall bear the mark of the Legion. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic005 {Respectful, eager}Enough words, then. Let our strength settle this. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic006 We shall see how brave you are when nailed to the walls of Hoover Dam, your body facing West so you may watch your world die. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic008 [SUCCEEDED] {Insulted}You dare speak that name? Comparing him to any man of Caesar will only earn you a slow death. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic008 {Anger building}You think me some lesser man, some other Legate? I am the first of the Legion, and this gate to the West shall be ours this day. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic008 [FAILED] {Slight sneer}Those are your final words? They are too weak to even wash the stain of your disgrace this day. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic008 Yet if those are the words you wish to be remembered for, then I shall... {beat, disgust, as if honor is undeserving}*honor* them." VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic009 [SUCCEEDED] {Thinking}Hnh. {Beat}You believe your own words, even if I do not. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic009 {Slightly suspicious}Perhaps NCR has the strength of a cornered animal... it will not be enough to hold this place. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic009 They know nothing of my tactics - or the strength of my forces. They will learn. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic009 [FAILED] {Contempt}Then they know nothing of me or the Legion's subjugation of the East. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic009 And to send you to deceive me... it is you that they have tricked, not I. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic012 [SUCCEEDED] {Slightly to himself}We did take the towers easier than expected. I cannot believe even the Republic would overlook such an opening in their defenses. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic012 {Rallying}Yet we are at throat of the Great Bear. Victory is at hand. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic012 [FAILED] I am not another Legate, and I am not such a fool as Graham, to be painted in pitch and set aflame. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic012 If all NCR believes as you do, then this battle is already won. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic013 I am the commander of this army. The Son of Mars has granted me the name Lanius. And the time to serve him has come once more. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic014 Our forces are better equipped to take objectives than hold them. I do not wish to defend this place if another option exists. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic014 Our opponents follow a strict chain of command, which is both a strength and weakness. I intend to use you to strike at that weakness. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic014 Find the enemy commander, this General Oliver. Kill him or his resolve. Do this, and his cowards will retreat, leaving the dam to us. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic016 The word means butcher" in Latin. I was granted the name after proving myself in several battles." VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic016 Perhaps after today's battle, you too will earn yourself a new name. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic018 I live to serve Caesar's will - and the will of the Legion. If my victory serves them both, then I am pleased. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic019 They are passable foes. {Slight disdain}Like their citizens, they prefer their war from a distance, and at that, they excel. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic019 {Reflective}Their leaders have on occasion shown brilliance, their rangers in particular have adapted well to our strategies. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic019 But their rangers are few, and this General Oliver we face is not their best. I regret not being able to face Hanlon, the one who led them last time. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic020 Their men take comfort in - and rely on - killing at a distance. They will not have the luxury of such comforts this time. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic020 Our warriors will wash over them in a tide of blood, severing arms before they can attack, legs before they can run, and heads before they can pray. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic020 So yes, fortune favors our chances, messenger. Provided *you* move quickly. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic021 In the past, the NCR has relied upon attrition, withering our numbers with ranged fire and falling back as necessary. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic021 Not this time. The dam contains tunnels to its heart, overlooked by the NCR... now occupied by the Legion. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic021 When the battle begins, the NCR will find our teeth at their throats in a dozen places. There will be no attrition, no falling back, only carnage. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic022 It was not intended for war - its top sides are bound to two intake towers by a series of bridges. No doubt snipers nest there. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic022 On the far side of the dam, a small building provides access to the power plant below. That is where Oliver hides. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic023 Then ask them. But don't waste my time. The battle draws near. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic025 Mars's eyes are upon you. Do not fail him - or us. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic028 [SUCCEEDED] {Suspicious}You play on my instincts. Yet your intention in this... you have nothing to gain by telling me of this... trap."" VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic028 {Angry}Unless you seek to goad me into a retreat, leaving the battlefield and leaving my honor here to be trampled underfoot by Republic cowards. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic037 Of course. And I guard myself from such acts of cowardice and jealousy. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic037 You claim that word of my coming has been given to the West so that I might die here... even as I take the Dam? VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic037 Telling me this does not benefit you at all... you gamble with your words, and your coin is lacking. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic040 If what you say is true, then they shall answer for it. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic040 But you suggest I turn from battle to answer these crimes, when I can prove myself greater by meeting them - then returning with the Dam as ours. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic040 You almost convinced me otherwise... but justice comes to all in time, and it now comes to you. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic042 You speak with conviction, and more importantly, with honor. {Beat}And we secured a foothold on the Dam... easily, as you have said. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic042 Graham's overconfidence forever branded him with fire, I will not follow his trail of fire into the depths of the Grand Canyon. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic042 {Resolved}The Republic shall keep their Old World gate this day, I shall return East. When I return, I shall have all the armies of the Legion with me. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic043 Then ask them. The battle draws near. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic046 {Final word, slight suspicion}Perhaps it is unfortunate Vulpes was not here to hear your words... something tells me you would prove more than his match. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic046 {Final word, slight suspicion}Perhaps it is fortunate Vulpes went to his death before this day... something tells me your words would have surpassed even his skills. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic046 Until the day when our armies meet again, NCR - I shall wait for you on the battlefield. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic046 Until the day when our armies meet again, envoy of Vegas - I shall wait for you on the battlefield. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic046 Until the day when our armies meet again, courier - I shall wait for you on the battlefield. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic049 [SUCCEEDED] {Frowns}Hnh. I have seen little of true battle this day. And you were brave to come here to face me when all of NCR would not. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic049 {Nods, respectful}I shall honor your last words and face you alone. No man will say I refused your challenge. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic050 [SUCCEEDED] {Takes a ragged, angry breath}The West's treatment of bitches such as you is their weakness. {Beat, second thought}But... by my honor, I shall face you alone, as you request. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic050 {Snarling}Woman of the West... you will learn your place - in my tent, and again, when you beg for release on the edge of my blade. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic050 [SUCCEEDED] {Takes a ragged, angry breath}I shall make a cape of your skin. And your skull - it shall sit by my side, mute, watching as my armies march West. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic050 {Snarling}I shall honor your last words... and face you alone, as you request. No man will say I refused your challenge. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic051 [SUCCEEDED] {Takes a ragged, angry breath}The West's treatment of bitches such as you is their weakness. {Beat, second thought}But... by my honor, I shall face you alone, as you request. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic051 {Snarling}Woman of the West... you will learn your place - in my tent, and again, when you beg for release on the edge of my blade. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic051 [SUCCEEDED] {Takes a ragged, angry breath}I shall make a cape of your skin. And your skull - it shall sit by my side, mute, watching as my armies march West. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic051 {Snarling}I shall honor your last words... and face you alone, as you request. No man will say I refused your challenge. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic052 [FAILED] No, I shall make it a contest - whether I can kill you *before* my hounds tear you apart. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic059 [SUCCEEDED] {Contempt}I have no *need* to hold it - anything the West sends against me shall break against the wall that is the Legion. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic059 [FAILED] {Disgust}You seek to buy my conviction, like some merchant from the West. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic060 [SUCCEEDED] {Derisive}You think we would march without a means of resupply? We have the Fort, we will have the Dam - other communities will fall. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic060 And we shall harvest as we move West. {With conviction}We only need move forward. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic060 [FAILED] Your reliance on comfort... it rots you from the inside. You are in need of the teachings the Legion will bring to your people. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic063 [SUCCEEDED] {Growing anger}There are many towns, many slaves... ripe for the taking as the tribes from the East were. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic063 [FAILED] {Growing anger, disgust}I shall carve your {emph}promises into your skin so that you might think on them - and let that be the lesson this day. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic064 [SUCCEEDED] {Confused}You rely too much on the trappings of... civilization. The people of the West were once tribes - they will relearn their ways, or... VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic064 [FAILED] {Angered, cutting the player off}Enough. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic065 [SUCCEEDED] {Pauses}Vulpes... brought the touch of Caesar to such places. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic065 {Beat}It was necessary to weaken the West, show that the Legion could strike deep into the places where NCR thought it safe. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic065 {Rallying}But we do not need *those* towns. Like Hoover Dam, there is the power within Vegas... we can harness it for our needs. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic071 Hnh. {Beat}Long ago... when taking Denver, I had to face such a challenge. Many died, over many years to claim the city as ours. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic071 {Reflective}It was the lines of food and water that nearly broke the Legion's strength... and the lack of tribals near that cursed city. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic071 What I felt in that struggle, I felt as I saw the map of the West. The West is a trap. The bear has already been caught in it, and it is dying. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic073 [SUCCEEDED] Hnh. My coming would have saved you, set your people free in ways they cannot see. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic073 War would have tested them. Broken the weak with its violence, yet allowing the strong to arise. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic073 Violence gave you that strength, awakened you - I can see it upon your face, where two bullets left their mark. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic074 [SUCCEEDED] Hnh. Then when I return, woman of the West... we shall see if your belief will withstand the blades of the Legion. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic074 [SUCCEEDED] Hnh. Then when I return, man of the West... we shall see if your belief will withstand the blades of the Legion. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic074 But I shall give you the time you need to prepare. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic075 Retreat? {Beat, as if the word is new to him.}Retreat. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic075 {Growing anger}I was a fool to listen to you... you know nothing of who I am. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic078 [SUCCEEDED] {Mocking}So you seek quarter? Terms of surrender? VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic078 Our roads into NCR are hung with the bodies of those who attempted to {disgust}negotiate with us. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic078 Save your speeches, we will take Hoover Dam and move forward until our feet crush the setting sun beneath them. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic078 [FAILED] It is the Legion that will surprise the West, but you will not be alive to see it. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic079 [SUCCEEDED] Hoover Dam has never seen the massed strength of the East. Only Legates such as Graham... who deserved the fire Caesar blessed him with. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic079 Now I am here, and make markers of your people as the Legion carves its way West. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic079 [FAILED] {Angered, cutting the player off}Enough. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic081 [SUCCEEDED] {Angered, confused}You speak in circles - what of the East? {beat}I am the East, and I will prove it this day. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic081 [FAILED] {Angered, cutting the player off}Enough. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic083 [SUCCEEDED] The victory here shall be swift. Our forces shall take the Dam, secure it, then build a road west on the bodies of the NCR. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic083 The East will hold. Once across the Colorado, nothing to rival Hoover Dam remains. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic083 [FAILED] {Angered, cutting the player off}Enough. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic085 Vegas will fall. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic088 [SUCCEEDED] {Curious}Your weakness? You seek to thwart me by claiming the Legion is too strong for you? VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic088 [FAILED] And how {emp}battles are lost... when you bring nothing but words to a contest of strength. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic089 {Pauses}I count on no one. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic090 {Angry}As was I... yet I was ordered to await you. Now that you are here, we may act. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic092 {Angered}A plan by Vulpes... treachery is a weapon that one should never rely on. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic092 I can only hope that the Omertas died when their treachery was exposed, to have the plan succeed only would have sullied the Legion. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic092 It does not matter, victory shall be ours, it shall be swift, and it will be honest, purchased with blood. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic093 [SUCCEEDED] {Frown}That does not mean we would not succeed. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic097 [SUCCEEDED] The East was a hard-fought campaign. Even now, Caesar drew too much of the Legion's blood needed there for... this. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic097 Hoover Dam is but a place. I will not have it be the gravestone of the Legion - whether quickly, or as you describe, slowly... by attrition. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic102 As for wisdom... there is wisdom in your words, woman of the West. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic102 As for wisdom... there is wisdom in your words, man of the West. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic102 Know that I shall return East. I shall not remain there forever. On that day, the strength of the bear shall be tested. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic102 If the West is one day filled with ones such as you, perhaps it shall be a worthy fight, indeed. VFreeformHooverDamVHDLegionLegateLaniusTopic104 Then until our return... {To himself, walking away}True to Caesar. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic000 Hmm{Pause}. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic000 I think that you should be able to divert the flow of the water into the generator turbines. That would grind them up like hamburger. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic000 The computer to activate it is just ahead, but you may need to go outside to activate the manual override. That system hasn't been used in a while. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic001 Ok, be careful out there. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic002 The power station, the dam, they're my babies. Well... don't tell my grandchildren I said that. Anything in here that I haven't rebuilt I've fixed. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic002 I've been here since well before the first battle. I've ground my knuckles on so much cement in here it is nearly as much me as it is cement. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic003 Good luck. I'm going to find a place to not get shot. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic004 I'm the head engineer. I make sure the turbines keep spinning and the water keeps pumping. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic005 Well{pause} he mostly stays out of the way, which is a good thing. He'd probably end up doing some real damage if he tried to make himself useful. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic005 Right now we mostly let him operate the switchboard for the intercom. Flipping switches seems to keep him pretty happy. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic005 Sad what happened to him. He was a good kid. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic006 I was down here for most of it, so I can't tell you much of what the boys with the guns were doing up top. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic006 From talking to the boys that were fighting up there, I can tell you that Hanlon managed to pull off what most people would have thought impossible. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic007 Alright, what's on your mind? VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic010 Good day to you, and stay out of trouble. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic011 Been better, been worse. When I first came here there was but one turbine spinning. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic011 At one point shortly after the last battle I had six of them spinning, was a wonderful sound. Only four of them are running right now. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic012 A little bit ago one of the intake towers got clogged. No water running through it anymore to spin the generators. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic012 One of these days I'll get some boys out to the turbine to get it running again, but right now it is pretty low on the priority list. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic014 You've got my ear. VFreeformHooverDamVHDMikeLawsonTopic014 Well to each their own I guess. VFreeformHooverDamVHDNCRControlRoomGuardTopic000 Damn it all to hell! Let's go! VFreeformHooverDamVHDNCRControlRoomGuardTopic000 Our instructions were pretty clear. Now you better get your ass out of here. VFreeformHooverDamVHDNCRControlRoomGuardTopic001 Friend or not, no one is allowed in here. Move along! VFreeformHooverDamVHDNCRControlRoomGuardTopic001 All right, but make it quick. VFreeformHooverDamVHDNCRControlRoomGuardTopic002 It's probably more important that you get out of here alive. If you haven't noticed, there's a battle going on here. VFreeformHooverDamVHDNCRControlRoomGuardTopic002 Now get out of here! VFreeformHooverDamVHDNCRControlRoomGuardTopic003 You'll regret this! VFreeformHooverDamvHDNCRRangerCommanderNCRBattleTopic000 Roger that. I'll have snipers move to position. VFreeformHooverDamvHDNCRRangerCommanderNCRBattleTopic001 Confirmed. We'll stay with you and help you break through the line. VFreeformHooverDamvHDNCRRangerCommanderNCRBattleTopic002 You are in charge of this operation. That sounds like a suicide mission, but our order are to take commands from you. VFreeformHooverDamvHDNCRRangerCommanderNCRBattleTopic002 Unit, let's move out! VFreeformHooverDamvHDNCRRangerCommanderNCRBattleTopic002 We aren't assigned for a suicide mission. Give us something we can do, and we'll do it. However I am not{emphasized} sending my unit on a suicide run. VFreeformHooverDamvHDNCRRangerCommanderNCRBattleTopic004 Confirmed, we'll fall back. Good luck. VFreeformHooverDamVHDSecuritronHouseTopic000 You know, I've had thousands of employees in my time. Few met my expectations, fewer still surpassed them. VFreeformHooverDamVHDSecuritronHouseTopic000 Your performance has been nothing short of spectacular. If I have need for a {beat}specialist" of your stripe again VFreeformHooverDamVHDSecuritronHouseTopic000 Back to Vegas, shall we? {to yourself}I really should do something about that monorail - with all the new resources at hand... VFreeformHooverDamVHDSecuritronHouseTopic000 I can make sure it not only runs, but runs on time. {Back to conversation with player}Always bothered me, the {disliked word}imprecision. VFreeformHooverDamVHDSecuritronHouseTopic000 {Kimball alive, Oliver alive}{A little reassuring}No need to worry about the General, by the way. He'll be held responsible, publicly disgraced... 36.5% probability of suicide, by my estimate... VFreeformHooverDamVHDSecuritronHouseTopic000 Kimball won't be able to save him - he'll be too busy getting thrown out of office. {clueing player in}But less than a 3% chance of suicide, mind you. VFreeformHooverDamVHDSecuritronHouseTopic000 {Kimball alive, Oliver dead}{A little reassuring}No need to worry about the General's accident VFreeformHooverDamVHDSecuritronHouseTopic000 President Kimball may long to avenge his friend's death, but he won't be President long enough to do anything about it. VFreeformHooverDamVHDSecuritronHouseTopic000 {Kimball dead, Oliver Dead}{a little disappointed}The General's accident" was unfortunate... with Kimball dead VFreeformHooverDamVHDSecuritronHouseTopic000 {Kimball dead, Oliver alive}{sober}General Oliver will try to make good on his threats, and he'll find support among citizens outraged by Kimball's assassination... VFreeformHooverDamVHDSecuritronHouseTopic000 The odds of the Californian public supporting a full-scale {emphasize re"}re-invasion VFreeformHooverDamVHDSecuritronHouseTopic000 Vegas might see a dip in revenue for a few months, half a year - but soon enough the tourists - and their money - will be pouring in. VFreeformHooverDamVHDSecuritronHouseTopic000 In any case, Vegas might see a dip in revenue for a year or two, but eventually the tourists will come flooding back, and their money with them. VFreeformHooverDamVHDSecuritronHouseTopic000 Vegas will be a shining jewel in the middle of the desert, an oasis of light, a beacon to show mankind the way to the stars. VFreeformHooverDamVHDSecuritronHouseTopic000 This is just the start, you see. {beat}This is where it all begins. VFreeformHooverDamVMSHDBrotherhoodPaladinTopic000 [FAILED] Yes, it would be, we can't have outsiders running around using our technology. VFreeformHooverDamVMSHDBrotherhoodPaladinTopic000 [SUCCEEDED] It would mean more people better protected and able to fight. VFreeformHooverDamVMSHDBrotherhoodPaladinTopic001 I'm sure that we can. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic000 Oh! Well, I heard... I mean, we heard... we meaning the Followers of the Apocalypse... that you had been in there. The Lucky 38, I mean. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic000 And we were wondering if you could help us. If it's not too much trouble, of course. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic001 Oh. Great! The Followers of the Apocalypse, well some of us, anyway, have been interested in Mr. House's technology, how he stays alive. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic001 Of course, no one is allowed inside the Lucky 38, so no one knows what's going on. Well, except for you. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic002 No, wait... please. Mr. House has access to technology that could help save a lot of lives, lives of people who suffer a great deal. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic002 Unlike Mr. House, refugees in New Vegas don't have the luxury of constant medical care. Some of them don't even have regular access to clean water. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic002 I guess we can thank NCR for that. Anyway, just a bit of information about Mr. House's technology could go a long way. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic003 Right. We just want to find out what sort of technology Mr. House has used to stay alive for all these years. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic003 It could be of great benefit to the people we try to help, many of whom suffer from hard to diagnose illnesses. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic005 We were connected for half a minute and received enough data to fill five holodiscs. It looked like nonsense at first, but we decoded it. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic005 It was all biometric data, life signs from Mr. House. The technology he's using is so advanced that it samples data hundreds of times per second. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic005 It's fascinating, but depressing. Whatever technology he has can't possibly be practical for the people out here. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic006 Really? Oh, I wasn't expecting you to agree so easily. That's great! vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic006 Here, take this packet sniffer. It will allow us to intercept data on Mr. House's network. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic006 You might have to manually remove the encryption from his data network, but hopefully you won't have too much trouble. Good luck! vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic007 Okay. No rush, but the sooner the Followers can learn about Mr. House's technology, the better. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic008 Good to hear, but it looks like the bug was deactivated a few minutes after it went online. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic008 It looks like House has some kind of countermeasure in place to prevent evesdropping on his network. We'll get through eventually, just not today. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic008 Here are those medical supplies I promised. Hopefully you won't need to use them. Take care. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic008 It looks like we've started getting reports from the tower's network! I'm sure the others will be able to make some sense of this. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic008 Oh what the hell? The bug went offline! Dammit! vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic008 I swear to God that old man has thought of everything. Well, it looks like this was all for nothing, but you did your best. I appreciate the help. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic008 We haven't received any information yet from the bug. Please report back when you've found a way into House's network. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic009 This is important enough to the Followers that we scraped together the caps required for the credit check. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic009 And I'm staying at Vault 21, which is pretty cheap. For the Strip, anyway. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic011 Do you mind if I ask why? vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic012 About five years now. I have family back in Arroyo, but this is where all of the good work is being done, so to speak. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic012 NCR taxes and inflation have been hard for a lot of people to deal with, and most of the money is going to the war effort. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic012 There's not much funding for medical research with OSI or any other group - not unless it has a military application, anyway. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic013 Well... I guess that makes some sense. After all, you're the first person who's set foot in there in over two hundred years. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic013 Let me know if you change your mind. I'll be around here or in Vault 21. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic014 Great. You and every other asshole around here. If you grow a heart anytime soon, I'll be around. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic015 {a bit shocked}Oh... okay. {regaining composure}I'll be around if you change your mind. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic016 I'm interested in medicine, but it's not my strong suit. I try to help out with any computer issues the Followers have. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic016 That's why I was helping out with the research into Mr. House's technology. {disappointed}Trying to, anyway. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic017 [SUCCEEDED] Ah. I see. I suppose I can give you some medical supplies for your efforts. I assure you they will be worth plenty of caps. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic018 [FAILED] Oh. No that wasn't really what we had in mind. We were hoping you would just, you know, help us. To be helpful. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic020 Great. I'll have the medical supplies for you by the time you come back. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic020 Here, take this packet sniffer. It will allow us to intercept data on Mr. House's network. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic020 You might have to manually remove the encryption from his data network, but hopefully you won't have too much trouble. Good luck! vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic021 I'm afraid that's all I can offer. Well, I won't keep you any longer. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic021 Let me know if you change your mind. The offer for medical supplies will still be good. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic022 {wary}After two tries, I think I've learned enough. I'm sure there's something more promising I could be helping the other Followers with. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic022 Uh... oh yeah, I didn't tell you about the first time. I'd rather not talk about it, if you don't mind. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic022 I already told you, I don't want to talk about it. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic024 [SUCCEEDED] True. {sighs}All right. The first try was a little less professional". Someone important on the Strip had access to some of House's technology." vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic024 Specifically, a Securitron. And more specifically, the someone" was Benny. I know vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic024 But this was a while ago. I knew he was sleazy, but I didn't realize he was so cold-blooded. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic025 [FAILED] Just drop it, okay? vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic026 What do you want to know? vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic027 See you when I see you. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic028 He sure didn't. Benny was pretty tight-lipped and cryptic about the thing, but he did let me poke around in it for a while. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic028 I wound up helping Benny a lot more than he helped me. Once he had access to the Securiton's memory banks, he kicked me out of the Tops. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic028 Big surprise, right? I should have seen that coming. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic029 The Securitron was disabled somehow. Might have been an EMP, given some of the damage I saw. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic029 Anyway, he wanted it re-enabled and connected to Mr. House's data network. The trick was getting it to be invisible on the network. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic029 If Mr. House detects a rogue" Securitron in his system vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic030 Ugh. So gross. It was bad enough that I didn't get any data out of the Securitron. This is why I didn't want to talk about it. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic030 It only happened once. I chalk it up to sleep deprivation and one atomic cocktail too many. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic031 Yes, strange as it sounds, I figured that bad mouthing one of the Strip's most powerful people wasn't a good idea. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic031 The only reason I'm telling you any of this is because he's gone now. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic033 Not much to tell. Benny had one of Mr. House's Securitrons, deactivated, and wanted it switched back on. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic033 He had heard I was interested in Mr. House's technology so he hit me up... so to speak. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic034 {teasing a bit}I take it you're speaking from experience. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic034 You're right though. He's gone now, so I'm not going to let it bother me anymore. {sweet}Thanks. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic035 {flattered}That's sweet of you to say, even if it isn't true. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic036 Good point. vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic037 And maybe you should go jump off Hoover Dam, jackass. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydAnders I don't know him very well, myself. I seem to remember that he was the man to call on if you needed someone to get in and get out quietly. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydAnders Colonel Hsu would really be the person to talk to. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydBreakIns Maybe break-in isn't the right word. We didn't find signs of forced entry. But I've had reports of someone sneaking into the control tower at night. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydBreakIns It's probably just a meeting spot for a steamy military base love affair.
Kids today.
VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydBreakIns But it bothers me that they didn't break in. It means they have an access code. Most soldiers around the base don't have that. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydContrerasTurnIn That may be the worst-kept secret on the base. I'd be more surprised if you had proof he wasn't involved in criminal activity. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydContrerasTurnIn But if you have proof, you're the envy of every MP stationed here. What'd you find? VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydContrerasTurnIn All right. Thanks for telling me. I'm going to have him rounded up. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydContrerasTurnIn Pretty impressive work there. Wish I could keep you around. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydContrerasTurnIn But for helping me nail this guy, I think you should have a little keepsake. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydContrerasTurnIn Here. It's not contraband, but I confiscated it from Contreras last week because he was being smarmy and I was sick of his bullshit. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydCplWhiteTurnIn I've already talked to Anderson, actually. Came in, confessed, and gave you credit for the whole thing. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydCplWhiteTurnIn First time I've ever seen anything like that. Was like you'd done him some huge favor. I've gotta hand it to you. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydCplWhiteTurnIn This Dazzle must be some girl. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydCplWhiteTurnIn Don't tell me. He married the hooker. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydMissing Well, there's Anders. He's a Ranger. That one's not suspicious so much as worrisome - he left on a dangerous assignment. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydMissing Colonel Hsu sent him out. Now I think he feels guilty not having any way to check up on him. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydThefts Yeah. We keep coming up short on our weekly supply inventory checks. Guns and ammo, mostly. Not the kind of things you like to see go missing. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydThefts No witnesses yet. I've got my money on Sergeant Contreras, who's supposed to be in charge of distribution, the little weasel. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydThefts But he's too slick to let anyone catch him doing it. We've searched his possessions a dozen times. Nothing. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic000 Not big on reading nametags, huh? That's okay, my name is long and difficult to pronounce. Ready for it? VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic000 It's Boyd. Lieutenant Boyd to my friends. Colonel Hsu has me handling the policing duties for the base. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic000 I've told him he could make my job a whole lot easier if he would just let me shoot anyone who talks back to me, but you know how colonels can be. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic001 No, I've got this one. I don't think he's going to have much information of value, so I'm just tormenting him for fun. Thanks, though. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic001 Yeah, so far this has gone exactly as expected - poorly. But with the work you've done for NCR already, you might be just what I've been looking for. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic001 We captured an honest-to-God centurion of Caesar's Legion recently. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic001 Sorry, this is state business, what I'm working on. You'd have to do a lot more NCR ass-kissing before they'd let you help me with this one. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic002 Now what kind of MP would I be if I didn't notice anything suspicious? VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic002 I've had soldiers go AWOL, break-ins, thefts, you name it. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic004 Suit yourself. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic006 Good. The more guns you can recover, the more I'll be able to use to shoot Contreras for being inept. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic007 I like the way you think. Have I said that yet? VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic007 Problem is that the NCR frowns on using that sort of tactic. There are some restrictions still in place from President Tandi's administration. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic007 But here's my favorite thing about you - you're not {emph}in the NCR. Plus, for all this guy knows, you're completely insane. That's a winning combination. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic008 Don't have anything like that. Sounds nice. Like the kind of thing I'd want to take home and use on my husband. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic008 But even if we did, I don't know that I'd be comfortable using it. If there's any risk of overdose, it's not worth it. Asshole's too valuable. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic009 Yes, and one time I thought I saw a tear when I told him his uniform was unflattering. But I think he just got some dust in his eye. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic010 That's the spirit. Okay, I'll go in and have a word with him. Then I'll call you in. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic011 You sure? You're missing out. Well, you're always welcome, if you should change your mind. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic012 Man, that guy's got water on the brain. Knows more about water pipes than any man should. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic012 If he says we're losing water, I think the colonel would listen to that. I'll talk to him about it. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic013 Anderson. I've heard of him, if it's the same guy. Water nerd from the Followers of the Apocalypse. Used to handle some of the operations for OSI. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic013 I don't know what to think about the Followers. The things they do... hard to say if they're helping or hurting sometimes. Especially in Freeside. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic013 I'll have to send some people out there to make sure we don't lose any more water. That stuff's like gold out here. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic013 But you. I owe you for this. You saved me a lot of work. And I'm sure Corporal White's family will be grateful to at least get some closure. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic013 The MPs keep a bunch of junk around that's confiscated off of people who decide to screw with us. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic013 I haven't really sorted through it, but go ahead and see if there's anything you can use in there. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic013 We keep it in a trunk across the hall, by the prison cells. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic014 Shit. That's why you don't go wandering off looking for some call girl on the Strip without telling somebody first. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic014 Anderson. Is that Followers of the Apocalypse Anderson? VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic015 Okay, well let me know if you find out anything. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic016 Yeah. The man I'm more interested in is Corporal White. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic016 White had a lot of promise. Wanted to be a ranger as bad as anyone I've seen. But he also had some extracurricular activities going. Now he's gone. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic017 Little bastard. I'm sure some of those find their way into the hands of our enemies, too. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic018 Well, that's a shame about Corporal White. He knew better than that. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic019 He's trafficking chems? I don't know how he thought he could get away with that. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic020 Sure, if you want to investigate. It's not like there's anything to steal up there. Just a bunch of old communications equipment. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic020 If you can find out any more, I'd be interested to hear it. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic020 There's something about this I really don't like, and if I weren't tied up here I'd be staking it out personally. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic021 Aw, tear my heart out, why don't you? Well, maybe you can find a way to play with his mind - get him out of his comfort zone. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic021 People lose their heads and say things they regret. Especially if they underestimate you. This dickhead would underestimate a nuclear missile. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic021 Plenty of ways to skin a cat, as they say. Hey, what if we skinned him? Bet he wouldn't be so smug then. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic022 Better believe it. Everybody, everybody in Caesar's Legion from Caesar on down will kill themselves before they can be captured. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic022 They're so twitchy they'd probably do it if you reached out to hug them. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic022 But here's this guy who's an elite commander in their army and he just gives himself up, even as his men are slitting their own throats around him. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic023 Well, I don't know about you, but to me that sounds like a man who's willing to cooperate. Except he hasn't. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic023 Only times he speaks up are to insult you. He's a real prick, by the way. And I'm supposed to get information out of this guy. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic024 I think if you rough him up enough and really put some fear into him, he'll sing like a choir boy. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic024 So let's do this. When you're ready, I'll go in and give you a little intro. Then I leave the room and you make him regret the day he was born. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic024 We go back and forth a couple of times until either he talks or he can't move his jaw anymore. Either way we've had our entertainment for the day. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydWhiteWash Word around the base is he'd been going regularly to visit a hooker named Dazzle at Gomorrah. That's a casino on the Strip. Classy place. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydWhiteWash His belongings are up in the barracks in the concourse building. First bunk on your left if you're facing in from the center. VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydWhiteWash I haven't had a chance to look through his things yet, so that might be a good place to begin. VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 Long time, no see, Silus. VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 Lieutenant. I was just thinking about you. VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 That so? VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 I was. I was just thinking about that pretty neck of yours. VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 How sweet. VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 I was thinking about how it would look with a Legion slave collar on it. VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 I'll pass. VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 Do you know what I love about our slave collars, Lieutenant? VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 If you love them, maybe you should try one on. VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 I love how tightly they fit. VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 I train my men to make sure the slaves' flesh bulges a bit around the top and bottom. Know why? VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 It's all the rage in fashion circles. VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 Not quite. If you fit it just right, their body never gets used to the feeling of wearing it. VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 It cuts in just enough when they swallow or turn their head to remind them who they belong to. VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 And it's that constant reminder that keeps them docile. VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 In that case, maybe you'd better save the collar you were going to give me. VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 Oh? For whom? VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 For a friend of mine you're about to meet. My friend isn't very docile. VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 And who is this friend of yours? VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 You know all the rules the NCR instituted to protect enemy prisoners of war? VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 Of course. VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 My friend doesn't. VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 Oh, and Silus? If you resist at all, I'll personally blow your brains out. VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 Come on in. He's all yours. I'll be back in a bit to see how you're getting along. VFreeformMcCarran2POW1 And I'll need you to surrender your weapons before you go in. You can pick them up from the locker on your way out. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Beating Whoa, easy there! You're supposed to rough him up a little, not kill him. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Beating Why don't you step outside a minute? Let off some steam. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Beating Nice job. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Beating I think my friend doesn't like you, Silus. I don't know how much longer I can keep her under control. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Beating I think my friend doesn't like you, Silus. I don't know how much longer I can keep him under control. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Beating You think this'll make me talk? A beating. This the best you can do? VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Beating Not just any beating, Silus. A savage beating. A beating that you'll be reminded of every time you feel pain from now on. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Beating When my friend's done with you, you won't have any of your teeth left. You'll be drinking your food through a straw. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Beating Your ribs will never heal properly and it will hurt every time you breathe. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Beating It'll be like your collars, Silus. Impossible to forget. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Beating Go to hell. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Beating Huh. Not the sort of wit I've come to expect from you, Silus. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Beating You're getting nothing from me. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Beating I'm getting entertainment. That's something. So what's it gonna be? VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Beating Are you going to spill your guts to me, or am I going to let my friend the maniac back in here for some play time? Silus? VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Beating Silent treatment, huh? Have it your way. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Beating Come on back in. I think he misses you. Oh, and let me check you for weapons, one more time. For your safety as well as his. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Int All that shouting. Honestly, Silus, you get free room and board. The least you could do is be a good guest. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Int Lieutenant, this woman is an agent of the Legion on a mission to kill me. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Int Lieutenant, this man is an agent of the Legion on a mission to kill me. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Int My, we have an active imagination today, don't we? VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Int Think about it! Is it worth the risk? You need what I know. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Int Well, it sounds like the two of you are becoming fast friends. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Int It'll be your head if I die, Lieutenant. You'll be disgraced. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Int You know what? I think you're right, Silus. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Int Of course I'm right. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Int Except I don't care, because it'll be worth it. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Int It'll be worth it to never have to hear you say another word, Silus. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Int Carry on. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Int Lieutenant! VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Speech Is something the matter, Silus? You look upset. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Speech Here, maybe you'd better step out for a moment. You've upset him. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Speech Your friend is a miserable fucking degenerate. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Speech I don't know, I thought she seemed like a nice lady. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Speech I don't know, I thought he seemed like a nice guy. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Speech If we were on the other side of the river, I'd have her torn apart by dogs. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Speech If we were on the other side of the river, I'd have him torn apart by dogs. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Speech That's a long walk, Silus. I don't think it's gonna happen. You'd better just talk. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Speech Your tactics are a joke. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Speech If you don't like dealing with me, I can bring my friend back in. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Speech Both of you can rot. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Speech Have it your way. VFreeformMcCarran2POW2Speech Come on back in. I think he misses you. VFreeformMcCarran2POWCleanup Mind cleaning up our mess, Corporal? VFreeformMcCarran2POWCleanup Not at all, ma'am. I'll get right on it. VFreeformMcCarran2POWEnough All right, you can stop for a sec. VFreeformMcCarran2POWGetUp Get your ass up. VFreeformMcCarran2POWGetUp What the- VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic000 Caesar's eyes truly are everywhere. And here I thought they'd send assassins instead. Did the officer send you? VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic001 [?] You're nothing. You're some inept mercenary the NCR is paying to supplement its own incompetent soldiers. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic001 [?] What? No! Listen, Caesar's secrets are safe with me. I stayed alive because Caesar would've wanted it. I'm useless to him dead. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic002 [?] You must have some reason to be in your line of work. Tell me, what did the Legion do to you? VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic002 Did we enslave your children? Slaughter your family before your eyes to teach you a lesson? VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic002 Whatever it was, I hope I was there to give the order. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic003 [FAILED] I must admit that a conversation with an imbecile may be far worse than the kind of torture I was anticipating. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic003 But somehow I think I'll manage. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic004 Of course, of course. All you had to do was ask. I'll tell you everything I know. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic004 Let's see. I know that you're a brainless cretin. I know that you're wasting your time. I know the lieutenant is going to be disappointed in you. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic004 And I know that by this time next month the streets of New Vegas will be decorated with the decaying heads of NCR soldiers. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic004 Is there anything else you wanted to know? VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic005 I can take anything you've got. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic006 I don't know what name he goes by here. But I saw him when they brought me in, and I recognized him. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic006 When I saw him last it was ages ago. He was training to be an agent of Caesar's {LATIN}frumentarii. Apparently he passed the trials. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic006 And what a job he's done, to achieve such a rank. I have no doubt he'll deliver a crippling blow to the NCR while he's here. Perhaps many. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic006 I have heard that he has been radioing high-level NCR intelligence back to Caesar's camp virtually every night. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic006 But never mind that now. We don't have much time. If you can get me a weapon, the rest will be easy. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic006 In the hall outside, they still have my possessions in a locker. There's a gun in there that should be small enough to get past the lieutenant. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic006 When she comes back, I want you to go and get it for me. Simple enough? VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic007 Hmm... perhaps not, then. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic008 I know of only the one other. Though I wouldn't be surprised if there were a great many. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic009 Good. But for her to trust you to re-enter the room, she'll need to believe you've been doing what she expects of you. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic009 You'll need to punch me until I'm bleeding and weak. Go on. This is nothing compared to the Legion's training. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic010 Very well. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic010 I don't know why I'm taking this chance on an invalid... I'll explain again. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic011 [?] Foot soldiers of the Legion are trained to not have to think for themselves - to have conflict removed from their minds. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic011 They kill themselves to evade capture because they are not trusted to make such a decision rationally in the heat of battle. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic011 But I'm no foot soldier. I knew I could escape captivity on my own, without revealing the tiniest iota of information to my captors. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic012 [SUCCEEDED] I'll show you gutless, you sniveling bastard. I'll spill your guts all over this room! VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic014 [?] I've told them nothing. They've gotten nowhere. I'm a centurion, for Christ's sake. I deserve his trust. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic015 [?] You have to let this go. I'll disappear. No one will ever see me again. That was always the plan in the first place. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic016 [SUCCEEDED] No! That's not what I meant! I- VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic016 Lieutenant! This man is trying to kill me! He's not who you think he is! VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic016 [SUCCEEDED] No! That's not what I meant! I- VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic016 Lieutenant! This woman is trying to kill me! She's not who you think she is! VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic018 [?] You think I could get where I was in the Legion army if I feared death? VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic019 [?] Coward? I've faced odds that would make your NCR soldiers wet themselves. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic019 I've led charges against men with guns carrying only my knife, and I can tell you, it was they who feared me. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic019 But suicide is a weak death on a battlefield. It says to your enemy that you fear capture. It says if you're caught you can be broken. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic020 Take your time. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic021 [?] You've made your intentions clear. The Legion has abandoned me. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic022 [?] If I had killed myself then I would've been murdering one of Caesar's greatest soldiers. Either choice is a betrayal of the Legion, as I see it. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic023 [SUCCEEDED] I've done everything Caesar ever asked of me, and this is how I am repaid? With assassination? VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic023 I ambushed countless NCR patrols and wiped them out so that our operatives could move freely. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic023 I waited for him to dispatch us for three days, never questioning why the headaches" he complained of would hinder his ability to command." VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic025 It'll take more than that to get me to talk, worm. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic026 What? What do you mean? VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic028 Something is wrong with Caesar. Something he is attempting to hide from his men. But it was obvious before we set out on this last mission. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic028 For three days, we awaited his order to dispatch us. Three days. But he hid in his tent, refusing to give orders. Complaining of headaches. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic028 He looks different now than he used to. His face is sunken, sickly. But any questioning of his health enrages him. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic029 {LATIN}Cedo nulli. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic030 No! You slimy bastard! VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic030 No! You cursed bitch! VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic030 Nothing I've said will change the outcome for you. No force can hold back the tide of the Legion. This camp and everyone in it will burn. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic031 [SUCCEEDED] You think I'm going to slit my throat for some megalomaniacal self-appointed dictator? VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic031 I didn't work my way up to have it all be taken from me out of some irrational paranoia. Caesar's losing it. I believe that. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic031 He's been shutting himself in his tent. Privately, he complains of headaches. Whatever it is, it's affecting his ability to lead. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic034 I hope the Legion burns your wretched body at the stake when they conquer this place. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic034 Nothing I could tell you would do anything to stop that. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic035 I don't know. I know he sends intelligence by radio in the middle of the night. Sometimes that intelligence would find its way to my century. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic036 Then you're a fool. That man reports to Caesar on what I do here. The Legion isn't going to take me back. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic036 My only hope is to escape and disappear. But if I escape and he reports it, they'll hunt me down as long as I live. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic036 It'd serve me to report him as much as it'd serve you. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic037 Beat me all you like, but it won't make my information any more useful. You can take what I have or leave it. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic038 There is one other thing that may interest you. I know that Caesar has planted a spy here. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic038 Every night details of NCR troop movements are broadcast from a radio on this base to Caesar's camp. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic038 The spy has been here a long time - since before the entire conflict began. He's an officer. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic038 If I knew who he was, I would tell you. If I escape and he's alive to report it, the Legion would hunt me down. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic038 But like I said, none of this information will change the outcome for you. No force can hold back the tide of the Legion. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic039 Good! Give it to me. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic039 I'm going to pretend to be unconscious. Let them send you out so no one suspects you. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic039 When I'm alone with a guard, I'll shoot him and leave in his uniform. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic040 Hurry! VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic042 Let's see you try. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic046 Time was essential for my mission, but we waited three days for him to dispatch us. Another of his headaches. Does that sound like a man in command? VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic046 He has an operative planted in this very base, but does he use his agent to rescue me? No. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic046 He's content to have the agent spend his nights radioing troop positions back to our base camp. He knows I'm here, and he's left me to rot. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic047 I haven't breathed a word about the officer we planted here - he continues to radio intelligence to Caesar's camp nearly every night. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic047 I've proven my loyalty. All you're doing is killing a loyal soldier. If that's Caesar's policy, then I say his empire will crumble. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic048 What? No! Listen, Caesar's secrets are safe with me. I stayed alive because Caesar would've wanted it. I'm useless to him dead. VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic049 Then he's a fool! VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic050 I knew you'd be reasonable. Now... how did you find me? Did the officer send you? VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic051 No! Stay away from me! VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic000 Oh, yeah. F-fine. Just a little st-st-stutter. Had it since I was a kid. Doesn't stop me from k-kickin' ass. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic001 Hey. No cause for th-that. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic002 Yeah, r-right. That's Brahmin shit. Lucky for you we're on b-b-base, and I can't start trouble with civvies. How 'bout you get l-l-lost? VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic003 Nah... it's no p-problem. Everybody likes to have a little fun with me. Just shows they l-l-like me. You don't rib somebody you don't like. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic004 The LT, Gorobets, gave it to me. See, I w-w-wanted to be Ace of Spades. But the LT says, sorry kid, you're t-t-too green. So he calls me Ten instead. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic004 It's okay, though. I get a few more k-k-kills under my belt, he'll move me up to Jack. Jack of Spades. Sounds better, right? VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic004 I keep at it, eventually I'll make it to Ace. Think I'll skip Queen, though. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic005 Shit. Long as I can r-r-remember. Had a rifle in my hand since I was three, that's what my dad always says. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic005 Learned to shoot on our ranch. Way west of here. Same as the LT, he's a f-farm kid too. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic006 Oh. They recruited me... what, a year ago? Taught me to kick even more ass than before. These guys... they really know how to kick some ass. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic007 Kickin' ass. Mostly kickin' ass. See, we're watching the perimeter right now. Looking for those F-f-fiends to come back. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic007 When they show their faces, that's when we go to work. One shot, one k-k-kill. That's the First Recon way. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic009 Yeah. You just walk away. No fool can trump the T-t-ten of Spades! VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic010 Shit. You sound like the LT. I should've w-woken up. I shouldn't have gotten knocked out in the f-first place. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic010 That shit was my fault. I don't want to talk about it anymore, all right? VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic011 Yeah, I'll s-s-see you around. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic012 The {ELL-TEE}LT t-t-told you about that? Shit. Man, that's sh-sh-shit. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic012 Th-this again? VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic013 It was m-my fault. See... I was kn-knocked out when it happened. That b-big guy sneaked up on us. I let B-Betsy down. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic015 Yeah. The {ELL-TEE}LT shouldn't have b-brought that shit up. Not with civvies, anyway. Ain't right. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic015 Ain't right t-talking about this, anyway. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic022 D-d-damn right. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic023 Oh, b-b-because of what that fuck Cook-Cook did? W-well, it's n-not the same thing, but D-Doc {OOS-uh-NAH-gee}Usanagi helped me with my s-s-stuttering. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic023 The d-doc has a c-clinic north of here. Can't m-m-miss it. You should t-talk to Bitter-Root, too. He's b-been to see the doc, too. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic024 She's my g-g-goddamn partner. See, we work in pairs. We spot for each other. W-watch each other's backs. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic024 Nobody wanted to w-work with me. They said I was too green. But Betsy volunteered. Shit, you don't even know how big a d-d-deal that is. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic024 She trusts her life to the newbie, and I sit there and let her get raped by that... p-p-piece of shit. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic025 N-no problem. VFreeformMcCarran31E10ofSpadesTopic026 Oh, y-yeah. My s-stuttering was w-w-way worse before. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic000 Can't stop talking about that, can they? The Lieutenant actually sat me down and asked if I wanted to talk to a doctor. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic000 Wouldn't believe me when I told him to forget it. I mean, if that slab of meat had gotten me pregnant, then maybe I'd want to talk to a doctor. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic001 What kind of dumbass question is that? Of course I want payback. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic001 If I get hold of that fat pile of shit, I'll shove my rifle up his ass a couple hundred times, see how he likes it. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic001 Then I'll fire some shells up in there, make sure he doesn't ever forget me. He left me a bunch of souvenirs - I figure I can do the same. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic001 So yeah. Payback would be good. Doesn't mean I need to have myself a big long cry. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic002 Yeah. Typical. Thing is, that fat pile of shit sneaked up on us from behind and kicked little 10 in the back of the head. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic002 Knocked him out cold. Probably meant to kill him. The kid had no idea what happened until he woke up in the infirmary. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic002 10 wants to blame himself, I can't stop him. He'll work it through on his own. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic003 Never said it was. But I don't need to talk to any doctors. Especially not the pricks around here. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic003 If I was smart, I'd fake a big old breakdown. That'd make everybody happy, and I'd get some leave time. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic003 But then I'd be doing what everybody wants, and being the asshole that I am, it just wouldn't feel right. Got to have some integrity. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic004 You killed him? Well, shit. Here I'd dreamed up this whole elaborate revenge fantasy. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic004 Didn't really think I'd do it, but as long as the tubby bastard was actually alive, I could pretend like I would. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic004 Here. I owe you. Take it and get out of here, before I indulge my inner bitch and spoil the moment. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic005 What gave me away? The big gun, the shades, or the attitude? VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic006 Don't take this the wrong way, but girl, it's a damn good thing you're hot. That sarcasm blew right over your head, didn't it? VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic006 Yup. Lot of people make that connection. Big gun. Sniper. Some people don't even need to ask. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic007 They don't. Only the good ones do. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic007 My partner's got some potential, so I let him wear those goofy glasses. I tell him they're his training shades. He totally buys it. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic007 Truth is, his eyes just suck. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic008 The little guy. 10 of Spades. I like him because he listens. Doesn't shut up the rest of the time, but when I talk, he listens. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic008 Also, he doesn't pull any stupid come-ons, like practically every other horn-dog alpha male on this base. Might be he's just scared of me, though. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic009 {Female PC, CHA 7+}Yeah. We spot for each other, watch each other's backs. Usually works pretty well, unless you get paired up with an asshole. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic009 Thing is, there's a lot of assholes in the army. Now if they paired me up with somebody who looks like you... VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic009 Lot of downtime in the army. Nobody around but you and your partner. Plenty of time for... whatever we want. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic009 Yeah. We spot for each other, watch each other's backs. Usually works pretty well, unless you get paired up with an asshole. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic009 Thing is, there's a lot of assholes in the army. I keep hoping they'll pair me up with some hot blonde, like you see on those old pinups. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic009 Shit, I don't even care if she can shoot straight. Can't have everything. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic010 Hah! See, we've even got the same sense of humor. I like a girl who doesn't piss me off after sex. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic010 Hah! You're not as dumb as I thought you'd be. We got the same sense of humor. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic010 Probably better to walk away while I still like you, though. All kinds of things piss me off. Like just about anything that anybody says. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic011 {lesbian, hostile}Yeah, right. You're sniffing up the wrong skirt. Try me again when you're tall, blonde, and female. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic011 {lesbian, but friendly}Thanks for your help with Usanagi and all, but I still like them tall, blonde, and female. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic012 Not unless you count the Fiends as serious. Gorobets keeps us inside the fence, most of the time. Doesn't matter to me, I just shoot bad guys. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic012 Sooner or later, they'll move us out to the Dam, though. That's when the shit gets nasty. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic013 Legion fights to win. And they're smart... hell of a lot smarter than these crazy Fiends. But I don't feel bad about shooting Legion boys. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic013 Fiends, on the other hand... sometimes I get some pangs of conscience. Not often. But sometimes. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic014 Some cute little junkie bitch, so fucked-up she doesn't even know that she's the bad guy. And I've got to headshot her. Makes me think. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic014 Might just be sex, though. I see some cute little number, and I'd rather get in her pants. So maybe I'm a stone-cold bitch, after all. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic014 Yeah, doesn't sound like me at all, right? But it happens. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic015 Yeah, well, we can't all be heartless shitheads, right? VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic016 Yeah... I always scare off the hot ones... VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic016 You don't have to leave, girl. Better yet, come and find me when I'm off duty. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic016 Yeah. Try not to get killed. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic017 Yeah. So what? I could take a bullet in the skull tomorrow. I haven't got time to take it slow and subtle. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic017 I see somebody I like, I go ahead and tell her. That's about the only thing that the horn-dog males get right. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic018 Damn shame. I've got some leave time coming to me, and I booked a suite at the Gomorrah. The two of us, rolled up in those silk sheets... VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic019 You and me at Gomorrah, rolled up in those silk sheets. I got leave coming up in a bit, so let me know if you'll be around. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic022 The Lieutenant's been talking to you, hasn't he? Look, I don't need a head doctor - I'm First Recon, damn it. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic022 You don't see the others crying about every little bruise and scrape, do you? VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic023 [SUCCEEDED] Just another injury to take care of, huh? Well, when you put it that way... all right. You can tell the Lieutenant I finally caved. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic023 There's a Doctor Usanagi who's supposed to be good at this sort of thing. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic023 [FAILED] I already told you that I'm fine. I don't need a head doc. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic025 This was none of their business - or yours. You've got no right to talk to people behind my back about this. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic026 {snorting, sarcastic}He got better? If he says so. Anyway, 10 of Spades is a good kid - maybe I ought to listen to him for once. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic026 I'm guessing the other two had similar things to say. All right, consider me convinced. I'll go see Usanagi. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic026 You can tell the Lieutenant that I caved. {hesitating, not used to showing gratitude}And... thanks. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic027 Bitter-Root actually said that? I can't see him talking about his problems to anybody, much less admitting that someone else actually helped him. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic028 I always wondered about that. First Recon is elite, but the rangers... I can't imagine what it'd be like to lose that kind of status. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic029 [SUCCEEDED] {impressed by player's harsh attitude}Damn. Never had you pegged for the drill instructor type, but you got my attention. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic029 You can tell the Lieutenant that I finally caved. I'll... {grudgingly}get help. There's a Doctor Usanagi who's supposed to be good at this sort of thing. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalBetsyTopic029 [FAILED] People" ought to mind their own business." VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic000 Got a good memory for faces. Landmarks and such, too. Comes with practice, that's all. And a lot of scoutin' from place to place. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic000 I reckon I've walked every inch of ground between Shady Sands and the Colorado... or close enough to make a man's feet plenty sore. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic001 You're a fine-looking woman, no doubt about that. But I'm looking a little deeper than the skin, if you take my meaning. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic001 Not so long ago, I spent more than my share of time lookin' for memorable folk like yourself. Did a lot of scoutin' around these parts. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic002 Mighty pleased to meet you. Maybe I'll see you again, before we move out. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic002 Always a pleasure. You keep yourself safe. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic003 Used to be a Ranger... one of the first they sent out east, back before we took the Dam. Observation and reconnaissance. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic003 We took the lay of the land, checked out the locals, and kept ourselves inconspicuous. Couple friends of mine were the first to scout the Dam. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic003 That was back in '73, if I recall. Lot of those Rangers are dead now. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic003 Vegas always chewed men up... it's just a little more literal, nowadays. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic004 Well... that wasn't really a matter of choice. Got myself caught by Legionnaires, up near Malpais. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic004 They had themselves some fun with me... mangled my hands and feet pretty good. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic004 Wasn't much good with a pistol after that. Wasn't gonna be trekking across the waste on any more long scouts, either. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic005 Caesar's boys figured I wasn't going anywhere, after what they done to me. So they didn't bother tying me up. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic005 I crawled out of there on my elbows and knees. Must have looked a sight. Then I rolled down an embankment into the Colorado. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic005 Guess I had a mind to drown, rather than give Caesar's boys the satisfaction of killing me. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic005 But a couple Rangers happened to be watching from across the river. They jumped on in and pulled me out of there. Lucky break, they said. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic006 I call her La Longue Carabine. Didn't always have the scope - I added that myself. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic006 Been shooting with her so long... couldn't bring myself to toss her away. Would have felt guilty to part with the old girl. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic006 The other snipers use bolt-action, but Gorobets reckoned it didn't matter none if I was different, so long as I can hit my targets. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic007 As a matter of fact... it's funny that you'd ask. Couple nights back, I was on watch in the yard... VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic007 Got myself a habit of looking all around - not just where I'd expect to find trouble. Old habit, but it's saved my hide, on occasion. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic007 Round about one in the morning, I spied some lights in the control tower. Now that's the third time I've spied those lights, mind you. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic007 And every time I ask about it, they tell me the place was empty. I'm just saying... it didn't look empty to me. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic008 No trouble at all. Might be nothing. Couple frisky young folks looking for a quiet place to snuggle up. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic008 Then again... that light is mighty consistent. Always there at 1 AM. Might be worth a look. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic009 Going on six months, now. But I reckon we'll be moving out, soon enough. Can't talk about the details. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic009 'Til then, we'll man the towers and keep an eye on the Fiends. We've had more than our share of trouble from their direction. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic009 Whole things smells of Caesar to me. 'Course, that's just guesswork, but I'd still bet a few caps that he's stirring up the locals against us. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic013 It's a pride thing with her, and totally unnecessary. I mean, look at me - I was {proudly announcing his rank and name}Ranger Sterling until the Legion got through with me. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic013 I was bitter, but if I'd kept my mouth shut, the NCR would've discharged me and sent me home. Instead, I asked if there was still a place for me. VFreeformMcCarran31ECorporalSterlingTopic013 I had to prove I could still handle a gun alongside all the recruits, but look at me now - First Recon and still going strong. You tell Betsy that. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic000 Not enough. We've been trying to put a bullet in him for a few weeks. He's strong as a brahmin bull, and he's fast. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic000 Seems like he usually runs with a gang of Fiends. Uses them for cover. We haven't been able to get a clean shot at him. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic000 Betsy swears she's hit him. Twice. But if she's right, it didn't seem to slow him down. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic001 You've got it. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic002 I've been sniping since I was old enough to walk. Lot of us sharpshooters get recruited off the farms and ranches out west. Comes natural to us. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic002 As for my squad - they're the best we have. My word on that. They're all hand-picked, and I won't work with anybody who isn't up to snuff. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic002 10 of Spades is the greenest of the bunch, but he's a farmboy, like me. Shooting's in his blood. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic003 Cook-Cook, one of the fiends, ambushed her and Ten of Spades. They both managed to escape, but not before Cook-Cook raped her. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic003 Betsy's shrugged it off like it was nothing, but her behavior keeps getting worse - always making passes at every woman who wanders by. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic003 It's inappropriate for anyone in First Recon to behave that way. I could discipline her, but I'd rather she get medical help. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic004 What did you have in mind? You thinking of luring him into range of my snipers? VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic005 It's one hell of a risk you'd be taking. But if you're willing... we'll do everything we can to keep you alive. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic006 Can we hit him? Damn straight, we can. Question is whether he kills you before we get a clear shot. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic007 No, I won't risk my team in the open. They're deadly at range, but they've got no advantage hand-to-hand. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic007 But if you can draw him out... get us a clean shot... we can bring him down. No problem. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic007 It's a lot to ask, I know. You'd be taking most of the risk. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic008 Listen. My team has a debt to settle with Nephi. We've seen too many of our boys get brained by that golf club of his. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic008 You lure him out for us, and if we can score some payback... we'll all pitch in caps for a reward. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic008 My team will take up positions around the old rock crushing plant. They'll wait until they see Nephi, and then they'll start shooting. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic008 At that point, just keep your head down, and stay out of range of his golf club. We'll take care of the rest. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic010 Your call. Even if you were one of my troopers, I wouldn't force you to take a risk like that. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic010 But the offer stands. Give me the word, and I'll put my snipers in position. Otherwise, they'll stay inside the fence. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic011 {military dismissal, said out of habit}Carry on. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic012 Whatever you need, we'll make sure it gets done. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic012 If you need help from my team, just give the word. Driver Nephi's earned himself a few bullets in the gut. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic013 We're at your service, if you need us. Until Driver Nephi is dead. Major's orders. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic014 Corporal Sterling was an NCR ranger until he was captured by the Legion. They tortured him pretty badly. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic014 He wasn't able to be a ranger after that, but his eyes are still sharp so I had him transferred to First Recon. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic015 I'd appreciate it. As her {see-OH, commanding officer}CO, I could order her to get help, but I'd have her agree with the idea. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic015 {hesitating because player isn't very smart}Yes. Talk to Betsy and try to convince her to get medical help for her trauma. {muttering to himself}I sure hope you understand what I'm asking. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic016 We're the finest sniper outfit in the whole NCR. If you need a bullet put into a target's eye from 800 yards away, you call us. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic016 Some of my team aren't without their share of scars, though, like Betsy and Sterling. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic016 We're the finest sniper outfit in the whole NCR. If you need a bullet put into a target's eye from 800 yards away, you call us. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic017 If they've proven hard to kill, yes. Whatever it takes to get the job done, even if means hiring help from outside the military. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic018 Yes, the others in the squad said you'd come to them about her. It's a start, but let's hope she sticks with her treatment as long as it's necessary. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic018 I'm afraid she'll ditch Usanagi early if she feels its taking too long - she won't want to look bad in the eyes of the rest of First Recon. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic018 I caught the tail end of what you said to her. {grinning}Betsy looked like she'd been slapped right back into {basic training}basic for a few seconds there. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic018 Let's hope that Betsy sticks with the treatment. Knowing her, she won't keep seeing Usanagi if she feels things are taking too long. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic018 I wish someone with your medical training had come along sooner. I think she'll actually stick with her treatment because of what you said. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic018 I was afraid that Betsy wouldn't go for long-term treatment because she didn't want to look bad in front of the rest of the squad. You settled that. VFreeformMcCarran31ELieutenantGorobetsTopic018 Do me a favor and let Usanagi know Corporal Betsy is coming. I'd like to make sure the medical clinic has time for her. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic000 Well shit, feel free to stick a knife in the old ego. I thought I'd made a name for myself around here. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic000 Guess that's as good a reason as any to quit this stinkin' trade. No glory. No easy money, no women, and no glory. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic000 Shit, I'd settle just for the women. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic001 Well hey, the field's wide open, now that I'm gone. Probably lots of people looking to get in, once they hear I quit. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic002 See, I thought the bounty hunting trade would be easy money, but it turns out it's hard work. So screw it. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic002 Also - I ran into this mark who was a little too tough for me. I mean, I could've taken him. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic002 But with this guy, it might have cost me some bad burns or an ass-rape. I'm all for risking my life, but I'm a little sensitive about my asshole. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic003 The rapist with the flamethrower? Yeah, that's a combination I stay the fuck away from. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic003 I was stalking him for a while. I'm real good at that. Watching people from where they can't see me, you know? VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic003 Only one thing I learned about that asshole. He keeps a bunch of Brahmins. Most of them he roasts whenever he feels like it, but there's one... VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic003 ...must be his pet, or some shit. Doesn't let anybody near that Brahmin. Somebody puts a bullet in her, I bet that'd piss him off good. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic003 Might make him careless, too. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic004 Because I killed a couple marks for him, that's why. You ever hear of Jackson? Or Night Terror? VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic005 Damn right they were. And they were good, too. 'Til I popped a couple shells in their assholes. Bam! Dead, finished, over. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic005 See, somebody gives me a job, I do it. Maybe I complain a little, here and there, but my shit gets done. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic006 'Course you didn't. 'Cause they crossed paths with Little Buster. Bam! Dead, finished, over. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic007 Simple. I'm going to make myself some easy money. I got a plan. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic007 Once I get my caps from Dhatri, I'm going to head on over to Gomorrah and win big at cards. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic007 There's not as many people playing at Gomorrah, so that means I've got better odds of winning big. I got this figured out. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic008 Oh, shit, I don't know. Got to be at least a month. Longer than I last at most jobs. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic009 Oh, yeah. A lot. Like, before I was a bounty hunter, I worked as a caravan guard. You'd think that was a cakewalk, right? Wrong. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic009 Crazy bastards expected me to wake up at dawn. Forget it. That's about two hours after this guy hits the sack. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic009 And I need at least ten, twelve hours of sleep to do my job. Price of excellence. VFreeformMcCarran31ELittleBusterTopic010 Hey, yeah. Next time you see me, maybe I'll be rolling in a shitload of caps, right? VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic000 Pack of drugged-out killers. They're addicted to every stim, every pill, every psychoactive enema on this fucked-up earth. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic000 I've got three Fiends I want dead, and I don't give a goddamn how it gets done. That sound like something that interests you? VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic001 Damn right I am. And I'm paying bounties. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic002 Right. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic003 Good. That's damn good. I figure it's about time we got lucky out here, so maybe you can snuff one of these maniacs. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic004 First one calls herself Violet. God knows why - the name is the prettiest thing about her. Spends most of her time with a pack of vicious dogs. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic004 Then there's Driver Nephi. He's fast and he's brutal. Killed about a dozen of my men with a goddamn driver iron. Hence his name. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic004 And finally... Cook-cook. Rapist. Pyromaniac. And damn good chef, if you believe the Fiends we've captured. Probably the craziest of the lot. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic004 I'm not going to feed you any bullshit. These aren't your common Vegas trash. They've all killed good NCR men, and plenty of mercs, too. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic004 You go after them - any of them - you're in for a hell of a fight. So... which one is it going to be? VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic005 Well, I'm sorry to hear that. Only one thing concerns me right now, and that's killing the bastards that are murdering my men. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic005 You want to talk to somebody in charge, I'd start with Colonel Hsu and work my way down. You'll find him in the Main Concourse. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic005 But if you want to take down some psycho-crazy bastards... I'm happy to talk caps. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic006 Violet it is. Wish I could give you more advice on how to bring her down, but we know less about her than the other two. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic006 Just watch out for the dogs. She raises them herself. Might as well be their mother - they never leave her side. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic007 You've got some guts, I'll give you that. Nephi is one tough son of a bitch. You let him get close, and he'll take your head off. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic007 My advice is this. Talk to Lieutenant Gorobets. He's in charge of Alpha Team, 1st Recon. Snipers. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic007 If you're lucky, you can lure Nephi into the open, and the sharpshooters can bring him down. You bring me the head, you'll still get the bounty. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic007 It's a better bet than trying to take Nephi one-on-one, but it's your call. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic008 One thing I should tell you about Cook-Cook. The piece of shit is pure animal. He raped one of my snipers, and that makes this personal. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic008 Also... he's got a flamethrower, and he's damn good with it. From what I hear, he either rapes or burns every living thing he can get his hands on. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic008 Only one man's gotten close to killing him, and that's Little Buster. So he says, anyway. Maybe it's bullshit, but I'd still ask him about it. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic009 Can't say I blame you. If I wasn't in this fight for my country, you couldn't pay me enough to screw with those maniacs. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic009 If you change your mind, I'll be happy to see you again. Otherwise... best to stay out of the way. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic010 Good question. Fiend territory is southeast of here, but they range all over the area. None of them stays in any one place for long. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic011 Makes no difference to me. I'd be happy to see any one of them dead. Who will it be? VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic012 One more thing. If you want the full reward, you need to bring me a recognizable head. My superiors need proof they're gone. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic012 That means no headshots. No decapitations 'til after they're dead. And no damage to the face. If you want to be safe, aim for the chest. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic012 You bring me a head that looks like a rotten tomato, people will be doubting, and I won't be authorized to pay the entire bounty. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic012 Good luck to you. And don't get careless. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic012 You've gone after the Fiends before - I don't have to tell you to keep alert. Good luck. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic012 Just bring me back that last head. And don't lose your own. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic013 Good. That's damn good. I figure it's about time we got lucky out here, so maybe you can snuff one of these maniacs. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic014 Out in the yard. Gorobets coordinates our sniper teams. He's been gunning for Nephi for weeks now. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic014 Only thing he hasn't had is willing bait. Don't have enough troops to order anyone beyond the fence. Not anymore, anyway. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic015 Bounty hunter. Talks big. But he's still alive, so he can't be completely full of shit. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic015 I think he's out in the yard, waiting to claim a couple bounties. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 That right? You killed one of the psychopaths on my shitlist? Let me see the scumbag's head... VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 You killed another one? Let me have a look at the head... VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 If that's true, that'd be the last of them... VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 Goddammit. That's Violet, all right. You've made me one happy son of a bitch, you know that? VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 Here. This is the bounty I put on her head. It's yours. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 Well, that could be Violet, or it could be someone else entirely. I'll take your word for it, but I can't give you a full reward. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 Well, well, well. Driver Nephi. Nothing to say, you son of a bitch? No tips on my golf swing? VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 Lost a lot of good men to this psychopath. Morale's going to be better, now that he's gone. Here's the bounty I promised. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 I guess we can send 1st Recon down to Camp Forlorn Hope. They need all the help they can get there. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 Well, well, well. Driver Nephi. Nothing to say, you son of a bitch? No tips on my golf swing? VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 Lost a lot of good men to this psychopath. Morale's going to be better, now that he's gone. Here's the bounty I promised. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 Now that's over with, I'd send 1st Recon down to Camp Forlorn Hope, but I heard it's overrun by the Legion. Bastards. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 That's supposed to be Driver Nephi? The head's in really bad shape, so I can't authorize a full reward. If he really is dead, we're all better off. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 I guess we can send 1st Recon down to Camp Forlorn Hope. They need all the help they can get there. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 That's supposed to be Driver Nephi? The head's in really bad shape, so a full reward is out of the question. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 Now that's over with, I'd send 1st Recon down to Camp Forlorn Hope, but I heard it's overrun by the Legion. Bastards. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 Yeah... that's Cook-cook. Did he always smell like this? Even before he was dead? And the Fiends let this guy touch their food? VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 Well... this is payback for at least one of my troopers. She'll be glad to know he's dead. Here's your caps. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 This is Cook-cook? You sure did a number on his face. I'm not allowed to give you the full reward, but thanks for taking this guy down. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 It's payback for at least one of my troopers. She'll be glad to know he's dead. Here's your caps. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 Think you can take down another one of these scumbags? Up to you. But I can trust you to do the job, and I'd hate to see you walk away. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 That's two psychopaths dead. If you can bring down the third, there's a bonus in it for you. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 You've been one hell of a stroke of good luck, you know that? Those three scumbags probably killed twenty NCR troopers. And you bring them down alone. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic016 Wish I had a few grunts as good as you. Damn good working with you. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic020 Fair enough. You've done your part. If you change your mind, you know where to find me. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic021 That's the best damn thing I've heard all day. Finally somebody around here with some goddamn ambition. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic021 There's two psycho-bastards left. Which one will it be? VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic022 Sorry to hear that. You had my hopes up. If you change your mind, the bounties still stand... unless somebody else claims them. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic023 Well... we're still better off than we were. Maybe one of my snipers will get lucky. If not, and you change your mind... you know where I'll be. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic026 Damn right I do. Who do you think you can take down? VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic027 Violet's got dogs. Lots of dogs. While they're ripping you to shreds up close, she'll be putting rounds through you with her rifle. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic027 Driver Nephi is a monster in close combat with that golf club of his, and that man is about as fast on his feet as any Legionary. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic027 If you haven't already, see about getting Gorobets and First Recon to help you - they've got things to settle with Driver Nephi, too. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic027 Cook-Cook loves using his flamethrower on his victims, usually after he rapes them. Little Buster can tell you more about him than I can, though. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic028 {painful memory - it was a massacre of innocents}Yeah, I was there. I was Captain Dhatri, then. That whole situation was a mess and could easily have been avoided with good intel. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic028 The major in charge at the time made a bad call - he thought Bitter Springs was full of Great Khan raiders, so we surrounded the place. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic028 By the time any of us realized there were civilians down there - women and children - the shooting had already started. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic028 The major froze up at the news, and we couldn't get another word out of him. I took over and salvaged the situation as best I could. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic028 For my effort, I was promoted to major. Not quite the way I'd have wanted it. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic029 {Bitter-Root alive}Adoptive father, yes. I was very proud when he made First Recon. I know that every time I send them out, I could be sending him to his death. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic029 But, if it's not me, it'll be somebody else. At least this way I get one more chance to see him. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic029 {Bitter-Root dead}I was. I thought I'd accepted the fact that I could be the one ordering him to his death, but it's been more difficult than I thought. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic029 Excuse me, but I'd rather not speak of this. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic031 We know they supply the Fiends with illegal chems, but they never stick around in NCR territory for long. They know the land, and move quick. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic031 There's talk from time to time about taking out their base at Red Rock Canyon, but nothing ever comes of it. The Great Khans are tough fighters. VFreeformMcCarran31EMajorDhatriTopic031 If we ever did go up against them on their home turf, we'd win, but casualties would be high. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic000 Guess not. I don't mean nothing by it. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic000 You really want to talk to somebody, try 10 of Spades. He's always got plenty to say. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic000 Me, I'm here to do my job. For now, that job is shootin' Fiends. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic000 {10 of Spades dead}10 of Spades always had plenty to say, before he got himself killed. Me, I'm just here to do my job. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic001 You a merc? Then I guess you'd want to talk to my, uh... father. Major Dhatri. He's our CO. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic002 Yeah, look... he's not my real father. He just looked after me, for a while. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic002 It's a long story. And I'd get tired of talking before it was through. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic002 It's like I told you. Dhatri's not my real father. He just looked after me for a while. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic003 A while, I guess. I don't keep too careful track of time. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic003 I like to keep things simple. Just focus on now. That's why they made me a sniper. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic003 You let your mind wander back a ways, and you lose sight of what's in front of your eyes. Good way to miss a mark. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic004 You trying to start trouble? Or do you really not know where I got that name? VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic005 [SUCCEEDED] It's a Khan name. You know... the Great Khans." That's what my parents were." VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic005 I figured I grew up around the bastards... they owed me a name, after all they put me through. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic006 They're dead. Got themselves killed at Bitter Springs. Served them right, if you ask me. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic007 They're scum. Lazy, trumped-up Raiders. Most of the time, they're drunk or high, and when they're not shooting chems, they're selling them. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic007 Used to have a settlement up at Bitter Springs, 'til they pissed off NCR and got slaughtered for their trouble. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic007 Lot of us got killed at Bitter Springs. Lot of them, I mean. My parents died, too. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic008 It was massacre. That's what a lot of NCR folk will tell you. Most of them feel plenty bad about what happened. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic008 But I was there. Saw it myself. I don't care what anybody says. The Khans asked for Bitter Springs. They wouldn't leave the NCR be. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic008 My damn parents, too. They were just as bad as the rest. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic009 Yeah. That's probably best. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic010 You're sorry? Well, that makes one of us. Bitter Springs was the best thing that ever happened to me. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic010 Best thing that ever happened to my parents, too. They were as bad as the rest. Worse, maybe. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic011 Don't I? Mister, you never met my parents. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic011 Don't I? Beg pardon, ma'am, but you never met my parents. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic011 My dad, he got himself fucked up, every chance he got. Always started with folk for no reason. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic011 Hell, he was the one who taught me to shoot. You know how? By taking potshots at NCR. And not just soldiers. Civilians, too. Even kids. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic011 Then he'd get high with his buddies and swap tales about the folk they killed. Bunch of animals. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic011 And my mom... couple times she tried to sell me to some waster, just to score some Jet. Even the other Khans said she was useless. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic011 Only reason they kept her around was because she was a... how'd my dad say it... a smokin' piece of ass."" VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic012 In the Khans, you're not fully grown 'til you've taken a beat-down. Everybody gathers round and hits you until you're damn near dead. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic012 After that - if you haven't begged for mercy - you get to choose a new name. One you'll use for the rest of your life. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic012 When NCR slaughtered the Khans at Bitter Springs, I hadn't got my beat-down yet. I was still too young. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic012 Way I see it, Bitter Springs was my beat-down. So afterward... I gave myself a name. It's all I've got from the Khans, and it's all I ever want. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic013 Guess I could tell a pretty good story, if I had a mind. But the truth is, I don't know. Just got lucky. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic013 They brought me to Dhatri after the battle. He was just a Captain, back then. Guess he saw something in me... knew I didn't belong with the Khans. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic013 Maybe he felt bad, too. About how his men killed my folks. I told him he did me a service, but he didn't believe me. Still doesn't. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic013 He's a good man, Dhatri. Doesn't act like it sometimes, I know. But he didn't have to take me in. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic014 It's like I tell Major Dhatri. Best not look under a rock, if you don't really want to know what's there. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic014 Could be that NCR found some blood on me, and none of it mine. Could be that a few of those Khans didn't die from NCR bullets. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic014 I had scores of my own to settle... deeper ones than NCR ever had. Don't bother asking who they were with. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic015 [FAILED] No. What's it matter to you? Why's everybody care so much about other people's business? VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic015 Just leave it lie. And leave me be. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic016 Okay. I will. Guess that's something I'd rather not talk about, that's all. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic017 All right. Goodbye. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic020 10 of Spades really ought to keep his mouth shut, but he's right. There were a lot of things in my past I just couldn't leave behind. VFreeformMcCarran31ESergeantBitterRootTopic020 It helped. {grudgingly}A little. Well, more than a little. Betsy ought to pay a visit to Usanagi since it can't hurt none. VFreeformMcCarran3Topic000 Trust me, the alpha males are overrated. Plenty of them in the army. All they're good for is killing each other and taking smelly shits. VFreeformMcCarran3Topic000 I'm just saying... never know what you might like, if you don't give it a try. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic000 {Sarcastic}Oh yeah. You can order up anything you want... as long as it's corn or beans!
VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic000 {Done joking, serious}Just kidding. Haven't you heard? With few shipments from home and little variety, the troops are getting restless for some quality grub. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic000 {Matter of fact}You can only do so much as a chef with just corn, beans, onions, and peppers. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic001 Chow down. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic001 Sorry, but the brass ordered me to not serve enemies of NCR. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic001 I don't like your kind taking food from my men, so I'm going to charge you a little extra. Don't like it? Tough. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic002 {Tired sigh, lamenting lack of supplies}Well, we haven't had any quality meat in months. Everyone in the camp just eating beans for protein... It isn't pretty. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic002 {Annoyed by bad luck}Some of my kitchen machinery is broken down, too, so we've been eating mostly raw vegetables. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic002 {Direct, a bit desperate}And I'm desperate for spices or seasonings. Anything. Just something to the general mood around here. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic003 What do you need to know? VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic004 Ah, it's nothing. You just looked like the health inspector who stopped through for the yearly inspection a couple weeks back. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic004 I was hoping I wouldn't have to wait another 11 months to see his crooked ass to get my caps back. Ah well, anything I can get you? VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic005 {Reassuring}It doesn't need to all come from the same source. There are a bunch of different vendors around who sell meat. Fitz, the Nash's, Crimson Caravan... VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic005 We've never really tried to go out and organize deals with merchants to supply our food. Already having an overstock of food, we haven't needed to. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic005 But we really need some good-old red meat on the menu soon, so I'm willing to divert some caps in their direction if they're open to supplying us. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic006 {To the point}Here is the list. We've been scrapping together quick-fixes to keep it running for months. I think it finally crapped out and needs a full overhaul. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic006 It's the goofy machine behind the counter in the corner next to the stove. I'd be much obliged if you could take a look at it and get it fixed up. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic007 {At a loss}I don't know. Try the various traders around the wastes, or the pawn shop in Westside might have some parts. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic007 {Sudden realization}Oh, I've heard of a place called House Tools you could check out! Its an old factory on the north side of Vegas. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic007 {Nervous}Just a word of warning, though. I hear no one who goes in there comes back out. Could be traps, crazy robots, or who knows what in that place. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic009 The Crimson Caravan would probably be able to arrange a regular shipment, but I don't know of any spices known to improve mood. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic009 Hell, we have a whole research department. One guy's even set up in the main terminal building. They're the ones who oughtta be looking into it. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic010 What can I do for you? VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic011 {Pleased}Great! Small price to pay in caps for a little variety in our weekly menu. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic011 {Very pleased}Excellent! That'll save us some caps and help offload a bit of our overstock. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic012 {Pleased}Good to hear. That should cover the majority of the supply. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic012 {Very pleased}That should help balance out our stock of food more reasonably and save us a ton of caps. Good work! VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic012 {Very pleased}You managed to swing us a discount and cover the majority of the meat supply we need? Good work! VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic013 {Pleased}Good, that should help diversify things. It may be a bit gamey, but I can use it for stews and kabobs. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic013 {Very pleased}Great! What he sells might be a bit gamey, but I can use it for stews and kabobs. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic014 Have a good one. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic015 Amazing. I thought that thing was done for. That'll help me transform what I can offer the troops. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic015 I'll give you a little extra discount the next time you buy food from me. Thanks again. VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic016 {Pleasantly surprised}No shit? The stuff actually does all that, huh? VFreeformMcCarranCorporalFarberTopic016 I'll have to start testing this out immediately. This will really help keep the guys focused. VFreeformMcCarranCorpseGuardEnd Oh my God, are you okay? You've gotta get to a medic. Doc Kemp can patch you up back at base. VFreeformMcCarranCorpseGuardEnd How could you just sacrifice your body like that? You never even met him. If the NCR doesn't have a medal for this, they should make one up. VFreeformMcCarranCorpseGuardEnd I don't believe it. Who the hell are you, man? How did you just walk right up and pull him out of there? VFreeformMcCarranCorpseGuardEnd I don't believe it. Who the hell are you, lady? How did you just walk right up and pull him out of there? VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic000 The brass are pissed about the trouble you've been causing. Your caps are no good here. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic000 Maybe you didn't hear me the first time. No service for scumbags! VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic000 Hey, I heard you were able to recover Morales' corpse. In thanks, you get a discount on supplies. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic000 That was a real honorable thing you done there, kid. Much appreciated. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic000 Here is what is currently available. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic000 With your reputation? Well, I won't say your caps are no good here... let's just say that they're... less good. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic001 There you go, all patched up. Anything else I can do for you? VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic001 I bet you do, but you won't be getting them from me. I heard about the crap you've been pulling, and I'll not risk my rep for you. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic001 Maybe you didn't hear me the first time. No service for scumbags! VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic001 What can I do for you? VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic002 I can give you something that should help. I need to see some caps for treatment. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic003 Goodbye. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic004 If you were a trooper, I'd tell you to walk it off, but they're your caps. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic004 Yep, you appear to be pretty cut up, but nothing some stitches and pain pills won't cure. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic004 Do you have the caps to cover the pills and treatment? VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic004 Hot damn you got whooped good! This could take a while. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic004 I will also require some caps to cover my supplies. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic005 I can take care of that quick and easy, if you've got the caps. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic006 Okay. This will just take a moment. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic006 Okay. This will just take a moment. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic006 Okay. This will just take a moment. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic007 Then what do you need? VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic008 Okay. A couple rounds of Rad-Away should do it. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic008 Okay. A couple rounds of Rad-Away should do it. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic008 Okay. A couple rounds of Rad-Away should do it. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic009 Okay. This will just take a moment. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic009 Okay. This will just take a moment. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic009 Okay. This will just take a moment. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic010 Okay. This will just take a moment. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic010 Okay. This will just take a moment. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic010 Okay. This will just take a moment. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic011 Okay. This will just take a moment. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic011 Okay. This will just take a moment. VFreeformMcCarranDoctorKempTopic011 Okay. This will just take a moment. VFreeformMcCarranDrillInstructor1 {Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}Move it! Move it! Move it! Get those legs up you sorry bastards! VFreeformMcCarranDrillInstructor1 {Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}Move, you lazy bastards! Do you think the legion is going to slow down for your sorry asses?! VFreeformMcCarranDrillInstructor1 {Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}Quit dragging your feet, recruit. Pick it up! VFreeformMcCarranDrillInstructor1 {Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}You run like a feeble old man, private! VFreeformMcCarranDrillInstructor1 {Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}You can rest when you're dead, private! Move your ass! VFreeformMcCarranDrillInstructor1 {Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}How the hell did you make it through boot camp, private?! VFreeformMcCarranDrillInstructor1 {Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}You think it burns now, wait until I sit on your shoulders! VFreeformMcCarranDrillInstructor1 {Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}The road to hell is paved by the bleached bones of privates that fell by the wayside, boys. VFreeformMcCarranDrillInstructor1 {Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}Pathetic! My 80-year-old grandmother runs faster than you! VFreeformMcCarranDrillInstructor1 {Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}Good thing you're not a ranger. When a ranger quits he's dead! VFreeformMcCarranDrillInstructor1 {Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}Sound off like you've got a pair! VFreeformMcCarranDrillInstructor1 {Angry grizzled Drill Instructor yell}That's better, but you're still not winning the battle, boys. VFreeformMcCarranNCRCorpseGuard1Topic000 Christina hired you, huh? Well, if you're going to go up there, there's a couple things you should know. VFreeformMcCarranNCRCorpseGuard1Topic000 Esteban's body is in the middle of those buildings up the hill there. Look carefully, and you can see the Fiends patrolling the rooftops. VFreeformMcCarranNCRCorpseGuard1Topic000 But they laid traps, too. There's mines all over. So for godsakes, watch your feet. Get him back here. We'll get him home. VFreeformMcCarranNCRCorpseGuard1Topic001 I wouldn't do that if I were you. Those buildings up ahead are crawling with psychos. This is as far up as we've been able to safely set up a position. VFreeformMcCarranNCRCorpseGuard1Topic001 You go any further, we can't protect you, understand? VFreeformMcCarranNCRCorpseGuard1Topic002 All right, smartass, I get it. You don't answer to us. But get this straight. You will get eaten alive if you go up that way. VFreeformMcCarranNCRCorpseGuard1Topic002 And that's not a figure of speech, either. Bunch of sick, messed-up junkies control the road up there. Got a thing for desecrating corpses. VFreeformMcCarranNCRCorpseGuard1Topic002 You've been warned. VFreeformMcCarranNCRCorpseGuard1Topic005 Hey, it's your life. VFreeformMcCarranNCRCorpseGuard1Topic006 Least we can do. Wish we could help more. VFreeformMcCarranNCRCorpseGuard1Topic008 {emphasize 2nd syllable, draw out}Bullshit. What anybody else would've done is get their asses killed. You're leading some kind of charmed life. VFreeformMcCarranNCRCorpseGuard1Topic008 We'll make sure Ranger Morales' body gets sent back home. You don't have to, you know, pick him up on your shoulder and haul him to California. VFreeformMcCarranNCRCorpseGuard1Topic008 Even though I believe you would if you had to. You should go tell Private Morales the news. I know she'll be relieved. VFreeformMcCarranNCRCorpseGuard1Topic009 That must be {emph. some kind VFreeformMcCarranNCRCorpseGuard1Topic009 That must be {emph. some kind VFreeformMcCarranNCRCorpseGuard1Topic010 Yeah, well, it looks like it might be too late for the Fiends. But we got the message loud and clear. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic000 We work together. I'm handling his deliveries for the moment while he handles a business opportunity that came up. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic001 What? Look, do you have something to drop off or not? VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic003 Whoa! Hold on a minute, buddy... VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic003 Whoa! Hold on a minute, lady... VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic005 Crazy wastelander. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic006 Lets see here... VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic006 Congratulations, you're under arrest for chem trafficking. Hand over your weapons and come with me. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic007 Contreras will still get his. Killing you will just save me some paperwork. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic008 Great. Let him know we'll be keeping an eye on him. He is free to do business... VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic008 But, if he isn't regularly reporting on illegal transactions, he's a dead man. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic009 Contreras, eh? We suspected he was involved somehow. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic009 It looks like you just gave me the evidence I've been looking for. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic010 Good. Saves me paperwork. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic011 Ranger Keller. I've been undercover for months tracking chems in this area. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic011 This has to be the easiest catch yet. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic012 Heh, an accomplice afterall. Well, it'll save me some paperwork just killing you. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic013 You know what? I believe you. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic013 You're free to go. Contreras, however, won't be moving drugs ever again. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic014 [SUCCEEDED] What?! How the hell did you figure that out? VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic014 [FAILED] Password? That little bastard said nothing about a password. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic014 Price is in NCR custody and you're going to join him, unless you've got a damn good explanation for why you're looking for him. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic014 Hand over your weapons. You're under arrest. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic015 Hell. Thought I'd done a better job than that. Well, if that's how it is, you can call me Ranger Keller. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic015 Price is in deep with the NCR for supplying drug ingredients to the local gangs. He's currently being held for questioning. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic015 What is your business with Price? VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic016 [SUCCEEDED] It might work since he's acting as a major hub for this activity. It's not like he has much choice now that we have evidence. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic016 If you can convince Contreras to work with the Rangers to break up the drug ring, I'll call off the firing squad. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic016 Just report back to me when he's agreed to make the deal. Otherwise, he's dead. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic018 [SUCCEEDED] I wouldn't normally do this, but seeing so much money change hands between scumbags on a daily basis has me thinking. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic018 I'm never going to be able to track all of these bastards down without some help, and Contreras seems to be a central hub of activity. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic018 Tell Contreras I'm willing to put in a good report with the brass if he cooperates. Just give me a cut of the action and report any major moves. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic018 [FAILED] You don't bribe a Ranger. You had better have something compelling to say, or you can join Contreras in hell. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic019 [SUCCEEDED] All right, if you hear anything, report it to myself or Lt. Boyd immediately. We need to track down his source. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic019 [FAILED]
Bullshit, lets see what you've got here...
VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic019 Well, it looks like you've got the materials here to make chems. You're under arrest unless you've got a damn good explanation. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic021 Contreras?! What's his involvement? Was he selling drugs to Price? VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic022 He'll be shot. We have no tolerance for chem dealers in the military. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic023 Stay out of trouble. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic024 I have Contreras. No one is going to miss you. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic025 Goodbye. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic027 I wouldn't normally do this, but seeing so much money change hands between scumbags on a daily basis has me thinking. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic027 I'm never going to be able to track all of these bastards down without some help, and Contreras seems to be a central hub of activity. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic027 Tell Contreras I'm willing to put in a good report with the brass if he cooperates. Just give me a cut of the action and report any major moves. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic027 Otherwise, he'll be reported as a traitor selling contraband to the enemy and go in front of a firing squad. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic028 You really don't know what you just got yourself into, girlie. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic028 You really don't know what you just got yourself into, boy. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic030 Let's see... Well, it looks like you've got the materials here to make full-blown chems. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic031 You know what? I believe you. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic031 You're free to go. Contreras, however, won't be moving drugs ever again. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic032 [SUCCEEDED] All right, if you hear anything, report it to myself or Lt. Boyd immediately. We need to track down his source. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic032 [FAILED] What's that you're carrying? Looks like some kind of delivery to me... VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic033 Whoa! Hold on a minute, buddy... VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic033 Whoa! Hold on a minute, honey... VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic035 Ah, hell! VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic036 Whatever you say, buddy. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic036 Whatever you say, lady. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic037 Ah, shit. Well since you seem to have things figured out, the name's Keller. I'm an NCR Ranger investigating chem runners. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic037 Price is in deep with the NCR for supplying ingredients to the local gangs. He's currently being held for questioning. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic037 What's your business with him? VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic038 Yeah. You need something? VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic041 Really now? We had our suspicions about that man, but he's got so many shipments going so many different directions it's been hard to track VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic041 What exactly is his offer? Does he realize bribing a Ranger is a hanging offense? VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic042 [SUCCEEDED] He has himself a deal. However, If he tries to run or he continues to deal strategic assets with enemies, he's a dead man. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic042 Tell Contreras to expect to see me around more often. He better have a new bit of information when I stop in or I'm reporting his ass to Boyd. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic043 [SUCCEEDED] He has himself a deal. However, If he tries to run or he continues to deal strategic assets with enemies, he's a dead man. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic043 Tell Contreras to expect to see me around more often. He better have a new bit of information when I stop in or I'm reporting his ass to Boyd. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic045 Sounds like the evidence we need to bring him in for questioning and search his shack, but why are you telling me all of this? VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic046 Well, thanks for the tip, but we'll need more evidence. Talk to Boyd at McCarran. VFreeformMcCarranNVNCRAgentKellerTopic046 I've been working with her in this investigation. VFreeformMcCarranPrimmRubyNashTopic000 Well, business is pretty light and I'd welcome the income, but I'll need a lot of caps to buy the necessary supplies. VFreeformMcCarranPrimmRubyNashTopic000 200 caps would get me started. VFreeformMcCarranPrimmRubyNashTopic001 Great. I'll just pick up future payments from McCarran directly when I drop off my snacks. VFreeformMcCarranPrimmRubyNashTopic001 You can let McCarran know they'll have fresh snacks coming in a few days. VFreeformMcCarranPrimmRubyNashTopic002 [SUCCEEDED] You drive a hard bargain, but 100 caps will do until we can get a regular deal worked out with McCarran. VFreeformMcCarranPrimmRubyNashTopic002 You can let McCarran know they'll have fresh snacks coming in a few days. VFreeformMcCarranPrimmRubyNashTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] Fresh food and water is worth it's weight in gold... You've got yourself a deal. VFreeformMcCarranPrimmRubyNashTopic004 Let McCarran know they'll have fresh snacks coming in a few days. I'll pick up the produce at that time as well. VFreeformMcCarranPrimmRubyNashTopic005 Suit yourself. I'm always open to more business. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic000 Caps. This whole rotten town wants caps. Nobody does anything just because it's right. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic000 Fine. You want caps? You can have all of Esteban's back pay. NCR owes me, and I don't even want the damn money. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic001 Then you're not from the colonel's office? Sorry... I shouldn't have bothered you. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic002 I know... I've been crying. Stupid. I'm supposed to be a soldier. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic002 My husband... he's a Ranger, and he... he got murdered by a pack of Fiends. Goddamn savages laid his body out to rot. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic002 The brass won't say it to me straight, but they mean to leave Esteban out there. I can see that plain. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic003 No... I didn't expect nothing so soon. You're doing me a favor - I don't mean to be a pest. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic003 You said you wanted the caps. If you're thinking I'm not good for the money... please, you've got to take my word. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic004 They put him in a box? With a flag and all? I hope so. He'd have been proud. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic004 You're too good for this rotten town. First kind thing anybody ever did for me and Esteban. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic004 You ever need anything, all you need to do is ask. Thank you so much. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic004 You did what you said you would, and I owe you. Just like I promised, this is Esteban's back pay. Every cap. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic004 Maybe the caps are all that matter to you, but... you still did more for Esteban than his own country did. Thank you. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic005 You never lost anybody, have you? Not like this. Never had to think about that person you love all alone out there, cooking in the sun like meat... VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic005 NCR never leaves a soldier behind. That's what the recruiters told us. Promised us. We believed them. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic006 Colonel says he can't spare the men to bring Esteban back home. And the Fiends, they put all kinds of mines and traps around his body. Snipers, too. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic007 So do I. But I know he won't. Ain't important enough in the scheme of things, you know? Still... thanks for listening. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic008 He was out on patrol. Bunch of drugged-up Fiends attacked them. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic008 Esteban laid down cover fire while the others fell back. One of the men saw him get shot. He didn't die, though, not then. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic008 They tried to go back for him, but there were too many Fiends, and they had to pull out. Damn savages chased them halfway to McCarran. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic009 Not your problem. Right. That's the motto in this town. Rotten people, rotten place. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic010ICanDoIt Mister, I'd about given up hope. But you've got to be careful. I don't want anybody else dying on my account. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic010ICanDoIt Ma'am, I'd about given up hope. But you've got to be careful. I don't want anybody else dying on my account. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic010ICanDoIt Esteban's body is laid out between some buildings, east of the REPCONN headquarters. At least, that's what his squadmates said. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic010ICanDoIt There's an NCR position just north of there. It's on the way. They should be able to tell you what the situation is. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic011 Sorry... I'm not fit for proper conversation, not now. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic012 If you find him... or if you hear any news... I'll be right here. VFreeformMcCarranPrivateMoralesTopic013 His best friend, Jackson, tried. Didn't even get permission from his CO, so it could have cost him a lot. But he never came back. VFreeformMcCarranRunners Sir, yes, Sir! VFreeformMcCarranRunners Sir, yes, Sir! VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic000 For you? Just the basics. Come back when you're a little more seasoned and maybe we could talk about other options. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic000 Bad business if someone hurts themselves using your products, you know? Gets all kinds of unwanted attention. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic000 Are you implying I have some kind of secret under-the-table stash I only offer to certain clients? Because that could get a man in trouble. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic001 Ah shit, I'm guessing he got caught by the NCR. You need to kill that guy now that he's seen you. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic001 Last thing we need is some investigator tracking you down. Get it done, and I think we can settle accounts, so to speak. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic002 What do you need then? VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic003 Now you're talking my language. I do have an expanded inventory for people I can trust. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic003 If you're willing to do a little legwork for me, I could give you access to my stash and at a discount. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic003 Many of these items aren't available in the NCR, and you'll be hard-pressed to find them at a better price anywhere else. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] Now you're talking my language. I do have an expanded inventory for people I can trust. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic004 If you're willing to do a little legwork for me, I could give you access to my stash and at a discount. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic004 Many of these items aren't available in the NCR, and you'll be hard-pressed to find them at a better price anywhere else. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic004 [FAILED] I don't think so. This is what I've got. Take it or leave it. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic005 [SUCCEEDED] Now you're talking my language. I do have an expanded inventory for people I can trust. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic005 If you're willing to do a little legwork for me, I could give you access to my stash and at a discount. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic005 Many of these items aren't available in the NCR, and you'll be hard-pressed to find them at a better price anywhere else. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic005 [FAILED] I don't think so. This is what I've got. Take it or leave it. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic006 Well, I can't exactly go wandering off the base whenever I want, you know? They're already suspicious. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic006 I can hear the MP's now. Gee VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic006 You're just passing a little note to a man named Isaac for me. {Sarcastic}I want to know which girl he likes. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic007 All right, well just find me when you want to get started. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic008 Great. Let me know what he says. They're almost a straight shot north from here, up past the sharecroppers. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic009 Later. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic010 Ah shit. Well, please tell me you didn't hand him the package. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic011 Now you're just going to have to take him out. I can't afford having NCR knowing about my side business... VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic011 ...and I don't think you want to go in front of a firing squad either. You take care of this, my entire stock is available to you. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic011 Hell, I might even throw in something extra to sweeten the deal. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic013 [SUCCEEDED] That might just work. Tell him I'll cut him in on a bit of the profit and help him track down drug dealers if he'll give me a pass. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic013 The last thing I need is a do-gooder Ranger trying to take me down. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic013 [FAILED] No deals. I want that son of a bitch dead. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic014 Thank God. You're going to need to take him out. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic014 If McCarran hears I've been selling contraband, we're both dead. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic015 [SUCCEEDED] All right, here's a little something in advance. Now get the job done. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic015 [FAILED] You've got brass balls, but no deal. I'm already offering you access to my stash if you take care of this. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic016 See, you're practically stealing caps from me, this work is so easy. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic016 There's one more job. It's a little more complicated, but I think you're up to it. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic016 I need to get some stuff sorted around. Gonna take me a day or two, so just stop back in a few days. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic017 Well, I'm not. Come back tomorrow and the stuff will be ready to transport. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic017 All right, I need you to pass something off to a merchant. The guy's name is Price. The exchange goes down at Miguel's Pawn Shop in Westside. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic017 This next bit is very important. He's paranoid. Maybe a little schizo. You have to identify yourself with a passcode or he'll shoot you right there. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic017 Just tell him you're looking for some betting advice. Then he'll say the surest move is to bet on the house. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic018 The Gun Runners are almost straight north of here. A little east. Isaac has a house in their compound. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic019 Be sure you do. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic019 If you get this last job done, full access to my stash. At a discount, even. Just because I like you. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic019 Get moving, watch out for raiders, and do {emph}not lose that package. Good Luck. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic020 Good to hear. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic021 Huh. Not good. Price works alone. Chat him up and see what's going on. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic021 Don't give him any details and do {emph}not give him the package. There's a chance he actually knows Price, but I doubt it. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic022 Well, it sounds like you screwed the pooch. Give me the package back. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic022 Price works alone. If someone has replaced him, it's either some scumbag trying to hijack goods from his suppliers, or worse... VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic022 It could be someone more dangerous. You need to kill him, whoever he is. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic023 Good to hear. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic023 Well, I'd say you're officially invited to the big kids' table now. My stash is your stash. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic023 Oh, and I think you might get more use out of this rifle than I ever will. Enjoy. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic024 Great. The Crimson Caravan has something ready for me. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic024 Look for Blake and let him know you're picking up Contreras' medical supplies. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic025 Thanks. Don't come back until you have it. Crimson Caravan is just northeast of the Gun Runners. Blake's usually in the main office. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic026 You bribed a {emph}Ranger? Ha! That's gotta be some kind of special talent. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic027 Get it done. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic028 Take your pick. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic028 You need to clean up your reputation or you're going to get me in trouble - I'll have to charge you more to keep from arousing suspicion. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic029 That might just work. Tell him I'll cut him in on a bit of the profit and help him track down drug dealers if he'll give me a pass. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic029 The last thing I need is a do-gooder Ranger trying to take me down. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic029 No way. I'm making too much money to just hand him the entire contraband operation. Just kill the bastard. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic030 Don't come back until his corpse is rotting in the sunlight. The last thing I need is a do-gooder Ranger trying to take me down. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic031 Very professional. I like that. Maybe you can handle something bigger. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic032 Good to hear. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic033 {Sarcastic}You're right. I'm just an under-the-table arms dealer. What could I possibly offer you, a drifting mercenary? Sorry for wasting your time. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic034 Really? I never noticed that. I'm just following orders here, moving supplies as needed. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic035 Good. Does that mean you have those supplies? VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic036 Whoa there, kiddo. No need to blow things out of proportion. I'm just selling certain ingredients on the side, not chems. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic036 Besides, it's not like drugs are a big deal. Alcohol is just as bad yet it is perfectly legal in the NCR. I'm just a businessman doing business. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic037 Well what the hell are you doing here? Get your ass out and find that metal. Don't come back until the job is done! VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic038 You're one pushy son of a bitch, I'll give you that. Alright, here are some caps to keep your mouth shut. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic038 There is a lot of money to be made, and I'm not afraid to share it with reliable folks. Just keep the busters out of this and we're good. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic038 So you've got the package then? I need to get that sorted and then sent off in a few days. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic039 Now see, that's just downright unfriendly of you. I can't just let you go shooting your mouth off to Boyd now can I? VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic041 Fine, piss off then. I thought we had a good thing going here, but it looks like you're just a goody-goody. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic042 Yeah. It means you don't get shot. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic043 The Crimson Caravan is up north past the Gun Runners. During the day Blake is usually in their main office. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic044 Pawn shop in Westside called Miguel's. It's in outer Vegas, northwest of the Strip. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic045 You mean other than some stranger with no military ID interrogating me inside our base? VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic045 Did Boyd put you up to this? I am so sick of this harassment. You tell her to stop wasting my time with this bullshit. VFreeformMcCarranSupplyOfficerContrerasTopic045 No. I haven't seen anything suspicious. It's been business as usual. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFCarterTopic000 If I don't have anything you like, well... tough. I don't do special orders. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFCarterTopic000 You got it. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFCarterTopic001 See you. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFCarterTopic002 I was always the guy who could get things, if you know what I mean. Figured I might as well keep on doing it. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFCarterTopic003 I worked in a casino in New Reno, and one of the pit bosses decided he didn't like me. Framed me over some caps, and I ended up in here. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFCarterTopic004 This is where the NCR sent prisoners to reform" through hard labor. I never saw much reforming around here VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFCarterTopic005 Don't have any other place to go. I'd just end up back in another prison, or dead out in the wasteland. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFChavezTopic000 That's nothing new. Am I supposed to be impressed? VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFChavezTopic001 Run! VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFChavezTopic002 {Male PC}Get him! VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFChavezTopic002 {Female PC}Get her! VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFChavezTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] All right. Pickings were getting slim around here anyway. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFChavezTopic003 [FAILED] Nope, not interested. No caps in letting people walk, you know. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFChavezTopic004 Letting you just walk away isn't how it works, I'm afraid. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFDawesTopic000 Yup. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFDawesTopic001 This? This is - or was - the big house. The New California Republic Correctional Facility. Not much correcting" went on here VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFDawesTopic001 One day, us prisoners decided to liberate ourselves. Killed the warden, killed the guards, took over the whole damn territory. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFDawesTopic002 {he does know}Well, I don't know. Depends on if you can make it worth my time. A hundred caps sounds right to me. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFDawesTopic002 {Helped Powder Gangers in Goodsprings}Yeah, all right. Figure you could help us out the way you helped out Cobb's crew over in Goodsprings. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFDawesTopic003 All right, you can go on in. Can't guarantee your safety, though. Just saying. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFDawesTopic004 Quit wasting my time. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFDawesTopic005 Me? I ran with the toughest gang in the Hub. You've heard of the Hub, right? It's, uh, west of here, I think, back in California. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFDawesTopic006 We've got the biggest, baddest fort in the wasteland. There's water and power, and if we need grub, we just go out and steal it. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFDawesTopic007 That's us. We got sent here to fix the rails and make some new ones, and for that we got to use dynamite. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFDawesTopic007 Of course, dynamite works pretty good against caravan guards, too. So, that's what we do - rob and blow things up. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFDawesTopic008 {Eddie alive}That'll be Eddie. You can usually find him sitting in the warden's old chair up in the main building. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFDawesTopic008 {Eddie dead}Not sure who's gonna take over with Eddie dead. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic000 {dismissive, slightly unfriendly}Yeah, get out of here. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic001 This is Powder Ganger territory - my territory. Most of the guys around here understand that. One, Chavez, doesn't. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic001 Chavez formed his own crew and have been hitting traders on their own. Everybody I've sent after him either got killed or weren't able to catch him. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic001 That leaves you. What do you say? VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic001 Nothing's changed. Chavez won't answer to me, but he and his crew operate in {emphasis my"}my territory. Deal with him." VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic002 {Player lost Good rep}Nope, not for you. Rumor is you've been working against us, so the deal's off. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic002 {Available}Yeah, we do. Here. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic002 {Not available}We're out at the moment. Come back later. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic003 {explosion heard}Sounds like they're already here. There's no way I'm letting them take me alive. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic003 There's no reason for you to stick around and help us, but feel free to kill a few of the bastards on your way out. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic006 I'm happy you cleaned that up for me, but we've got another situation to worry about. There's a merchant hanging around near the prison. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic006 Something feels funny about him, and I want you to deal with him. Shake him down if he's legit, but if he's not, take him out. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic007 {Non-dummy}Most people already know we run this territory, and are usually in a hurry to get out. Not this guy. It's like he wants us to come get him. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic007 {Dummy}{annoyed a player's stupidity}Not ha ha" funny VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic008 Good. Had him figured for NCR, one of the rangers maybe. Anyway, speaking of the NCR, I need you to take a walk down to Primm. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic008 The NCR hasn't raised hell over our breakout, and I want to find out why. They're up to something, I can feel it. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic009 I know the NCR has troops near Primm, so talk to the locals and find out if any of those troops are going to be coming our way. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic010 Good. Chavez and his boys were last seen south of here. If you're lucky and he's careless, he might still be there. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic011 Why do you care? Answer: you shouldn't. I don't feel like trading life stories. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic012 It was all Cooke's idea. He and his boys managed to swipe some dynamite and hide it away in their cells. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic012 The rest of us just tagged along. Cooke's crew headed north while the rest of us stuck around for payback. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic013 The NCR called it a work-release" prison. We lucky prisoners got the privilege of fixing up the rail lines and blasting rock for new lines." VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic013 They got sloppy, though. Some of us managed to hide away some dynamite, and look who's in charge now. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic014 He and his crew went north. I heard talk about some sort of big plan" to get back at the NCR VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic016 One mean son of a bitch. Really, truly hates the NCR for some reason, and he got a lot of the other guys around to his way of thinking. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic017 Fuck you for wasting my time, then. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFEddieTopic018 Chavez is the ringleader. Without him, his crew will fall apart, and I don't give a shit about those guys. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFHanniganTopic000 Later. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFHanniganTopic001 The fact that you're still on your feet is... surprising. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFHanniganTopic001 Life can be pretty rough sometimes. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFHanniganTopic001 I've seen worse. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFHanniganTopic002 I was an NCR medic for six months, so I'm not exactly a doctor." Still VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFHanniganTopic002 It also gives me an excuse to stay out of any raiding parties. The gang can't lose its only doctor now, can it? VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFHanniganTopic003 Medical supplies go for a decent amount of caps in the right markets. I figured the quartermaster wouldn't notice any missing. I was wrong. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFHanniganTopic004 Let's see... I've been a farmhand, a bouncer, a bandit, and an NCR trooper. I don't recommend any of them. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFHanniganTopic005 The location to the highway makes it a good spot to shake down any travelers passing through. That's why Eddie and the rest are still around. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFHanniganTopic005 Me, I like having big walls between myself and the wasteland. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFHanniganTopic006 One night, there was a big explosion from the other cell block. I had no idea what was going on, so I took cover in my bunk. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFHanniganTopic006 When it was all over, the guards were dead and we were free. Most of the other prisoners scattered, but a few of us stuck around, obviously. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFHanniganTopic007 I can give you something to bite down on if you want. This'll hurt. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFHanniganTopic008 Can't help you, then. Medical supplies aren't cheap, you know. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFHanniganTopic009 {shrugging}If you say so. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFHanniganTopic010 This shouldn't be too much work. Try to sit still. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFHanniganTopic011 Can't help you, then. Medical supplies aren't cheap, you know. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFHanniganTopic012 Not a problem. Just some scrapes here and there. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFHanniganTopic013 Can't help you, then. Medical supplies aren't cheap, you know. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFMeyersTopic000 I was a sheriff, believe it or not, for a small town far to the west of here. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFMeyersTopic000 The short version is that sometimes justice is a little slow, and I helped speed it up one too many times. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFMeyersTopic000 I'm not sorry for anything I did, but I will do the time. Fair enough trade, if you ask me. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFMeyersTopic001 I understand that Cooke was behind it all. I kept my head down the whole time. Didn't want any part of it. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFMeyersTopic001 I stuck around, figuring the NCR would show up and put things back the way they were. No sense in making myself look guilty, right? VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFMeyersTopic002 Watch yourself out there. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFMeyersTopic003 Some kind of anti-NCR rebel. Some people just don't like being pushed around and told what to do. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFMeyersTopic004 He went north with some of the other guys. Didn't say where, didn't say why. All I know is he's got some kind of score to settle with the NCR. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFMeyersTopic005 I'm not quite sure the kind of greeting NCR troopers will give an escaped con like myself. Figure it's better to stay put for now. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFMeyersTopic006 Right now, Eddie and his boys run the place. They've got the guns and the dynamite, so they call the shots. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFMeyersTopic007 Assuming an NCR pardon comes with the job - and it had better - I'll also need to be able to do things my own way. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFMeyersTopic007 Due process has its place, but sometimes it's just a waste of time. I'll need to know that I'm not going to end up right back in prison. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFMeyersTopic007 My terms are the same. A pardon from the NCR and the freedom to do the job anyway I see fit. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFMeyersTopic008 All right, then. Guess I'll just make a quiet exit - no need for a goodbye party or anything. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFMeyersTopic009 Understood. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFMeyersTopic010 When I need to, yes. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFMeyersTopic015 There is a NCR camp down on the southern border of Nevada. Camp Mojave I think, try to find someone of authority there. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFMeyersTopic016 Okay, hurry back. I don't want anyone to start shooting at me. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFMeyersTopic017 Alright, ask away. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFScramblerTopic000 {Eddie alive}I keep an eye on my buddy Eddie. Anybody messes with him and I scramble them real good. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFScramblerTopic000 {Eddie dead}Used to guard Eddie, but not anymore. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFScramblerTopic001 Why? It's because I mess up people so bad they don't know what part goes where when I'm done. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFScramblerTopic004 That's right. Fuck off. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFScramblerTopic005 Not much, just killed a bunch of people. Maybe a couple of kids, too. Whatever. VFreeformNCRCFNCRCFScramblerTopic006 Dynamite. Lots and lots of dynamite. You should've seen the body parts flying everywhere. VFreeformNCRCFvPowderGangerFactionRewardNPCTopic000 See ya. VFreeformNCRCFvPowderGangerFactionRewardNPCTopic001 Then'll we have to make you leave by force. Your own fault, you understand. VFreeformNellis1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic000 I'm glad that you made it out here. You're even more stunning up close than you were at a distance. VFreeformNellis1ECrimsonCaravanWorkerCFTopic001 Of course it would. I'll have you set up with some quarters with some of the other women. VFreeformNellisBoomerFrontGateGuard1Topic000 But I had you zeroed in the whole time! Nobody's that fast! VFreeformNellisBoomerFrontGateGuard1Topic000 Move a muscle now and I'll blow you to pieces! VFreeformNellisBoomerFrontGateGuard1Topic001 Are you even human? Some kind of mutant? VFreeformNellisBoomerFrontGateGuard1Topic001 Move a muscle now and I'll blow you to pieces! VFreeformNellisBoomerFrontGateGuard1Topic002 I'm not telling you a thing, savage! VFreeformNellisBoomerFrontGateGuard1Topic002 Move a muscle now and I'll blow you to pieces! VFreeformNellisBoomerFrontGateGuard1Topic004 Then just - just stay where you are! Raquel'll be here any second... VFreeformNellisBoomerFrontGateGuard1Topic005 I said stay where you are! Raquel'll be here any second... VFreeformNellisBoomerFrontGateGuard1Topic006 Watch your mouth, savage! Raquel'll be here any second... VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic000 You've done right by us, so I suppose I could spare some supplies. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic000 We've recently started making our own stimpaks, but we just don't have the materials to make other meds. Sorry about the lack of selection. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic000 Just let me know what you need. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic000 Sorry friend, we really don't have a need for wasteland currency around here. We produce most of what we need. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic000DUPLICATE000 Don't apologize. Their care is my responsibility, but everything I know came from an old first aid field manual. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic000DUPLICATE000 I don't know what else to do to help them... VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic001 [SUCCEEDED] If what you say is true, you can do us a world of good. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic001 [FAILED] No need to apologize. Their care is my responsibility, not yours. Thing is, everything I know came out of a first aid handbook! VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic001 If you think you know more than that, let me know. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic002 [FAILED] These patients were gravely injured. It's not a joking matter! VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] Well... I don't know, actually... I suppose it's possible. You should take a look! VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic004 I can patch you up in exchange for doses of Fixer. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic004 I can patch you up in exchange for doses of Fixer. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic005 I can unburden you of that in exchange for doses of Rad-Away. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic005 I can unburden you of that in exchange for doses of Rad-Away. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic006 I can help you in exchange for Stimpaks. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic006 I can help you in exchange for Stimpaks. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic008 You're going to feel a little pinch. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic009 Fair enough. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic010 Hold still. This'll burn for a moment. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic011 The symptoms of withdrawal will pass with time. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic012 This'll make you feel better. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic013 Well, try to avoid further exposure. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic015 You're going to feel a little pinch. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic016 Hold still. This'll burn for a moment. VFreeformNellisNellisArgyllTopic019 This'll make you feel better. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid01Topic000 Okay, see ya! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid01Topic001 This is spiffy! Thanks! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid01Topic003 No way! Pearl said that stuff will get us sick! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid01Topic006 {Awed}Wow, you sound {emphasized}awesome. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid02Topic000 That is a neat idea. I'll be the spotter. I'll find someone to play the target. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid02Topic001 A rocket! Yay! {Rocket sounds} Vrooom! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid02Topic003 Ick! My big sister got super sick chewing that stuff! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid02Topic004 Bye then. {Still excited} VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid03Topic000 I sure would! Thanks a billion! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid03Topic001 Ooo, you know a lot about dinosaurs. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid03Topic003 Nuh uh! That gum gets dinosaurs sick. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid03Topic004 Okay, see ya! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid04Topic000 You bet I will, I'm almost old enough to fly in the VR sims. That'll be awesome! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid04Topic002 This is spiffy! Thanks! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid04Topic003 No way, I hear that stuff rots your brain and stuff. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid04Topic004 Okay, see ya! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid05Topic000 {Thoughtful}Very well traveller{difficulty with the word}. You may pass.{laughs} VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid05Topic002 You may pass! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid05Topic003 This toll only accepts toys, and that gum is gross. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid05Topic004 Okay, see ya! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid06Topic000 Great! I've been wanting a new toy! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid06Topic001 You better believe it. I'll knock your block off! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid06Topic003 Red-Brick never touches chems! That stuff will tear you up! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid06Topic004 Okay, see ya! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid07Topic000 Yes! It has been a long time since La Fantoma had a good sidekick! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid07Topic001 La Fantoma needs no rocket... But this one is pretty awesome! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid07Topic002 La Fantoma doesn't want to ge sick again! No nasty gum for her! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid07Topic003 Okay, see ya! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid09Topic000 Mister Cuddles is my teddy. I lost him and I don't remember where. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid09Topic001 Oh. Bye then. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid09Topic002 Thanks! Let me know when you find him. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid09Topic003 Oh, I remember now! I was playing hide and seek in the big hangar! Mister Loyal made us leave though. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerKid09Topic005 Thanks! Let me know when you find him. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerTeacherTopic000 Few children are, especially when they are born during a relatively safe time in our history. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerTeacherTopic000 Our children are protected from the outside world, but they are not ignorant of the dangers it holds. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerTeacherTopic001 Really, Outsider? I'm open to ideas. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerTeacherTopic002 I agree. That is why we do everything we can to teach the children from birth to defend themselves and serve the tribe. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerTeacherTopic003 All of us are trained in combat and farming from a very early age. When we reach adulthood, we serve in whatever capacity we are best suited. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerTeacherTopic004 Bye. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerTeacherTopic009 [SUCCEEDED] I like the way you think. Oratory may indeed be a useful tool in our arsenal if wielded effectively. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerTeacherTopic009 I'll put together a debate curriculum and pull out some of those old philosophy books. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerTeacherTopic009 [FAILED] Talking? Seriously? Sorry pal, but nothing is more persuasive than bullets and bombs, and we're the experts! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerTeacherTopic009 I could probably put together a debate curriculum and pull out some of those old philosophy books. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerTeacherTopic010 [SUCCEEDED] That sounds good for teaching the kids how to negotiate prices. I keep saying we need to open trade with the outside, but no one listens. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerTeacherTopic010 [FAILED] It doesn't look like we're going to be trading with anyone outside of Nellis anytime soon, so I'd rather not bother. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerTeacherTopic012 [SUCCEEDED] Wow, our stockpiles mostly included full metal jacket. I should start a reloading class for the children to learn how to make ammunition! VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerTeacherTopic012 [FAILED] Look around Nellis. We've got a stockpile of weapons, and we've all spent plenty of time at the range. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerTeacherTopic012 I appreciate the sentiment, but there isn't much you could teach us when it comes to firearms. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerTeacherTopic014 [SUCCEEDED] Hey, that's a great idea! This information might help with our training manuals, and maybe create a few new apprentices for Loyal. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerTeacherTopic014 [FAILED] Right... when we repair stuff, we tend to use welding torches and plasma cutters. I think I still with Loyal and Jack for repair knowledge. VFreeformNellisNellisBoomerTeacherTopic015 Okay. VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic000 Oh lordy lordy, you haven't heard of the Boomers? What rock have you been living under? VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic000 They're a bunch of artillery-slingin' grenade lobbin' odd-jobs camping out in Nellis. Wander into their territory and you're as good as mincemeat! VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic001 Suit yourself. Come back and see me when you get tired of picking shrapnel out of your backside. VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic002 There is a way, and I'll tell you... for a little wager? VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic007 Well, I know the secret to get past. If you give me the caps, I'll tell you. VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic007 If you make it back alive I'll double your money! VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic009 Okay, here you go. That page has the details, but it's all in the timing as you move from building to building. VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic009 I'll be here watching, so I'll know if you've made it to the gate or not. Remember, there's 600 caps in it if you make it. VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic010 [SUCCEEDED] Alright, I suppose I can cut you a deal, but not a cap lower. I gotta make a living here. VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic010 Okay, here you go. That page has the details, but it's all in the timing as you move from building to building. VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic010 I'll be here watching, so I'll know if you've made it to the gate or not. Remember, I'll pay double your wager if you make it back. VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic010 [FAILED] No deal. My info, my price. VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic012 [SUCCEEDED] Whoa, simmer down. I'll tell you. I'm a gambler and a scavenger. VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic012 I've made some cash from gambling, and some cash from... reclaiming goods that are no longer being used. Now do you want my help or not? VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic012 [FAILED] Who am I and what I am doing is my business. Now are you in the market for info or not? VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic019 Yep, here are your caps. VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic020 Sorry about that, poor memory. Here you go. VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic020 Sorry about that, poor memory. Here you go. VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic021 [SUCCEEDED] You drive a hard bargain. Here you go. Have a nice {sarcasm on nice} day. VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic021 [FAILED] No deal, here's what we agreed upon. VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic021 [FAILED] No deal, here's what we agreed upon. VFreeformNellisNellisGeorgeTopic022 Aren't you forgetting... nevermind. Goodbye. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic000 What I could use is some scrap metal. It may not sound exciting, but around here we have to recycle every rivet and plate. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic000 The other thing, you being from the outside and all, well, I guess you'd call it a personal matter but, well... Eh, forget it! VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic000 Like I said, I can never get enough scrap metal. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic001 Me? I work with Loyal, mostly electronics work and robotics. Keeping the old technologies alive, right? VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic002 Thanks. That'd be great. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic003 [FAILED] I'll keep my spit to myself, thank you very much. That sounded stupid, didn't it? Damn it. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] That must be nice, sharing yourself like that, not being embarrassed or anything? Well, the thing is, there's this girl... VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic004 She does? You mean it? That's incredible! VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic004 What happens next? Can she come here? How do we make sure she doesn't get blown up? Should I talk to the gunners? Or to Pearl? VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic004 Okay, I'm just really excited is all. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic004 Oh, well let me know when you do. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic005 All right. See you around, I hope. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic006 Then why did you make me spill my guts about it? You're an asshole! VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic007 Loyal's a great man, but he's getting on in years, so a younger's got to learn everything he knows. That'd be me. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic007 The man knows how to fix and build just about everything that was ever made. It's not easy keeping up with him. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic007 If you help him recover the Lady I figure - oh, I figure it's been a nice day. Yeah, a real nice day. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic007 Loyal's a great man, but he's getting on in years, so a younger's got to learn everything he knows. That'd be me. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic007 The man knows how to fix and build just about everything that was ever made. It's not easy keeping up with him. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic007 Oh come on, you've met Loyal by now. He's a mechanical genius. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic007 The man knows how to fix and build just about everything that was ever made. It's not easy keeping up with him. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic008 Thanks. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic009 Oh, you can't miss her! She has short red hair and she's the most beautiful woman who ever lived! VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic009 You'd really talk to her for me? What if she feels the same way? What if she comes here like you did? VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic009 What if she gets blown up? What if she doesn't like me? VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic009 Oh jeez, I better just let you handle it. I'm better with machines. They don't make my stomach queasy like this! VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic009 Oh, you can't miss her! She has short red hair and she's the most beautiful woman who ever lived! VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic009 You'd really talk to her for me? What if she feels the same way? What if she comes here like you did? VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic009 What if she gets blown up? What if she doesn't like me? VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic009 Oh jeez, I better just let you handle it. I'm better with machines. They don't make my stomach queasy like this! VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic010 That would be amazing. As in, I would thank you forever. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic011 Thanks. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic012 Hey thanks! VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic013 What?! No! I mean, I haven't seen her around for a while, but I thought she was just busy working. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic013 She was so beautiful... Now I'll never get to know her. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic014 I just need some parts from a pressure cooker to create a hermetic seal for the rebreather. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic014 Have you found a pressure cooker so I can finish the rebreather? VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic015 Okay. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic016 Thanks for dropping it off. Anything else? VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic017 You think I'm handsome? Wow, I wonder if she does, too! VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic022 Hi there, it is great to meet you as well. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic023 And you're even more handsome up close. Do you think it'll be okay if I hang around here for a little while, so we can get to know each other better? VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic024 Did I say that? Sometimes I just say stupid things! Sorry about that. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic024 Pearl will tell you when the time comes. If, I mean. I should really be going. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic025 Thanks. Sometimes I talk too much. I guess you already know that. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic028 You said you'd talk to her. Don't treat me like a jerk for asking. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic029 Well, please, talk to her soon. The suspense is killing me! VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic029 What are you waiting for? I've been losing sleep wonder what she'll say! VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic030 Here take this Boomer outfit. I'll let the gunners know she is coming, and not to shoot at her. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic031 Wow, that seems dangerous, but if you really think it's safe, I'll trust you. You did make it here, afterall. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic032 I wish we'd blown you up! I wish you were dead! Just leave me alone! VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic034 [SUCCEEDED] Oh, my sweet blameless Red! Curse the walls of Nellis! Curse our guns and isolation! Her blood is on our hands! VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic034 Only if we stop shelling everyone who comes close will some good come from this tragedy. If you'll excuse me... VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic035 [FAILED] Then why didn't you stop her? You could've tackled her or something! You knew how much she meant to me! VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic035 Just - just go away! VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic036 Okay, well let me know when you do. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic037 Thanks, this will just take a few moments... VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic037 Okay, it looks like the valve from the cooker was a perfect fit. Here is the rebreather. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic038 Thanks. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic039 [SUCCEEDED] That's a brilliant idea! I can put that together right now... VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic039 Here you go, a new rebreather! VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic039 [FAILED] Sorry, there is no way it would withstand submersion. Has to be watertight. Past few times I've tested it I've gotten a mouthful of water. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic039 A pressure cooker would have the gaskets and valving I need to seal it up. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic040 That's too bad. I was hoping to melt some more down for machining. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic041 Okay. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic042 Bye. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic046 Great, that's all I need to get the rebreather to work right. I don't think you'd want to start breathing water halfway down. VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic047 You think I'm handsome? Wow, I wonder if she does, too! VFreeformNellisNellisJackTopic048 I thought you weren't interested. VFreeformNellisNellisLindsayTopic000 [SUCCEEDED] Oh, I remember now! I was playing hide and seek in the big hangar! Mister Loyal made us leave though. VFreeformNellisNellisLindsayTopic000 [FAILED] I don't know. I play all over. I'll never find him! VFreeformNellisNellisLindsayTopic002 Oh! Thank you so much! I'll never lose you again Mister Cuddles! VFreeformNellisNellisLindsayTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] No! Not Mister Cuddles! VFreeformNellisNellisLindsayTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] No! Not Mister Cuddles! He can't be dead! VFreeformNellisNellisLindsayTopic003 [FAILED] I know you're kidding. Mister Cuddles is just hiding somewhere. VFreeformNellisNellisLindsayTopic004 Okay, well thanks for looking. Let me know when you find him. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic000 {Amused chuckle}If we need something obliterated, Raquel and the howitzer crews are more than qualified. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic000 No, we have more specialized issues we need help with right now. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic001 If that's so, how about you look into repairing the solar arrays on the roof of the generator building? VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic001 Nothing too complicated about it, but it's a long ways to walk my old bones, and there's been that ant problem over near there. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic001 You can't miss the array. It's on top of the generator building smack dab in the middle of Nellis between the two runways. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic002 I started building a sonic emitter that might do the trick, but it's useless without knowing the exact frequency that would kill the ants. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] Hot damn, you're right! It's a matter of boosting across those thresholds, not exact amplitude. You're smarter than you look. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic003 Just so happens I was testing it at 24,000 hertz, so it should be good to go. Place it near their nest and cross your fingers. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic003 Signal's too high for people to hear, so no harm done, but it might make you feel sick to your stomach. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic003 [FAILED] No, it doesn't have a dial! It has to be stabilized for an exact frequency or it could shake itself apart! VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] If you're willing to take the risk, be my guest. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic004 I've got it set to broadcast a powerful signal at 24,000 hertz. Just place it near their nest and cross your fingers. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic004 Signal's too high for people to hear, so no harm done, but it might make you feel sick to your stomach. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic004 [FAILED] I don't even know what the hell you're talking about. Sounds like gibberish. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic005 I guess you'll have to use hit and run tactics, and go see Doc Argyll if you need patching up. Good luck. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic006 A long time ago - long before the war that killed just about everything that ever lived - a bomber crashed not far from here. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic006 A bomber was a flying contraption that could drop explosives down on anything it flew over. But anyway, moving on... VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic006 This bomber crashed down in Lake Mead, pretty damn near intact. When we got to Nellis, see, I found this article in a magazine all about it. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic006 There was another B-29 around here, part of a museum. Couldn't fly, but had a lot of spare parts, see? Get where I'm going? VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic006 Since I was a young man, I've dreamed of raising that Lady from the lake and bringing her back to life. What do you say? VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic007 It's at the bottom of Lake Mead. I'll mark its location on your Pip-boy map. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic008 Simple! Attach deployable ballast to the plane and float it on up! VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic008 Here is a remote detonator. Once the ballast is attached to the plane just hit the detonator from the shore and let buoyancy handle the rest. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic009 All right. What's on your mind? VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic010 Goodbye. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic011 I told you, at the bottom of Lake Mead! I'll make sure the location is displayed on your Pip-boy map. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic012 I wish you'd paid attention the first time! All you need to do is attach the deployable ballast to the plane. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic012 Some of my robots will carry a remote activation station out to the shore. Attach the ballast, hit a button, and they'll handle the rest. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic013 That's tremendous! I'll transmit instructions to the robots to start packing up the plane to bring it back to Nellis! VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic016 An impressive piece of work. I'll keep that in mind if jobs come up in the future. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic017 Ha! If we had spare parts, do you think I'd be asking you to fix the damn things? That's rich. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic017 No, we ran out of spares a while back, and Jack and I have been doing our best to patch the arrays up as best we can. Sadly, we're at our wit's end. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic017 There have to be spare parts somewhere around the wasteland, but I just don't know where to direct you. You may have noticed we don't get out much. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic018 Did I misunderstand what Pearl said? All right. Goodbye. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic019 Ain't nothing creepy about it. It's a term of respect! VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic020 I know it does, but I tell you, it ain't! I've worked it out so it's simple! VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic021 Maybe you don't understand. Hasn't been one of us, not a one, to set a foot outside Nellis in over fifty years. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic021 You come along, with your knowledge of the outside, and it seems the time's come to raise the Lady after all. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic022 Good. Here's the deployable ballast. Go find the plane, attach the ballast, and hit the button! VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic023 No, it's not. It's the smartest idea you ever heard, but you're too stupid to know it! VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic024 Hey, that's great! You shouldn't have much trouble getting those fixed up, then. Just stop back when you're done. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic025 Might try holding your breath. If that doesn't sound good enough, talk to Jack. He was working on a rebreather once. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic026 Are you talking about that damn bright light we've seen blast off to the south occasionally? I was wondering what the hell that was. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic026 If they've got the parts, bring them on back. We need to get the array back up and charging. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic027 Well, how about that! I'll have to check out your handywork. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic027 And here I thought we had them running as best we could before they broke down again. Thanks for getting those sorted for me. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic027 Well, how about that! Turns out you aren't completely useless, working with your hands. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic028 Be sure to stop on back and let me know when the arrays are fixed. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic029 No. Those aren't for outsiders to use. Leave them alone. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic031 Anything else you need? I've got work to do. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic032 [SUCCEEDED] Well, if you genuinely care so much, they're flight simulators. If you don't know our history yet, you should see Pete and get the tour. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic032 We dream to one day rule the skies. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic032 [FAILED] Talk to Pete if you're so curious. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic033 I just told you, the robots are going to handle it. They'll break the plane down into pieces and move it up from Callville Bay in one shot. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic034 Hey, I better get rolling. Jack and I have a lot of work ahead of us! VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic036 [SUCCEEDED] Exactly. We'll be shelling an unoccupied location in Outer Vegas to get their attention elsewhere. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic036 By the time they realize they aren't under attack, the plane and the bots will be long gone. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic036 The kids wish we were shelling a real target, but Pearl thinks it wise to not start up a war just as the lady has risen. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic036 [FAILED] We've got that covered. They won't be a problem. VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic036 Let's just say they'll be a little distracted for a while. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic000 Well well, this is welcome news. Who is she? VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic001 I haven't heard anything. You must not be trying hard enough. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic001 I may have heard a compliment or two. Nothing special. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic001 I do believe you've convinced one or two of us that it's better you made it here than were blown to smithereens. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic001 More and more, I hear my people saying good things about you. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic001 I believe the time has come for you to show your value in full. The people have come to accept having you around. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic001 Find Loyal and ask him about our people's fondest dream. He will tell you what to do next. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic002 Each of the elders would appreciate assistance with various issues here in Nellis. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic002 Seek out Jack, Loyal, Raquel, and Argyll. They will guide you. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic002 Loyal still needs help getting the plane back to Nellis, and there may be others who still require assistance. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic003 She's with those traders? They've tried to contact us before, but I'm not interested in trading with greedy savages. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic003 This presents a bit of a problem. Jack isn't allowed to leave Nellis, and I doubt she would make it through the artillery alive. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic005 What you have done for us is a miracle, child. You have fulfilled the only dreams we ever had outside our walls. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic005 You are a trusted friend of us all. If there is ever a way for us to help you, child, tell me and I will make it so. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic005 Extraordinary, child. Go tell Loyal, then return to me. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic006 This presents a bit of a problem. Jack isn't allowed to leave Nellis, and I doubt she would make it through the artillery alive. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic007 [SUCCEEDED] Hmm, I suppose Jack deserves a chance at love. You can tell Jack she has a free pass to enter, but he is responsible for her actions. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic007 Do not make me regret this decision, outsider. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic007 [FAILED] Sorry, but I can't risk exposing the tribe to more savage outsiders. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic008 [SUCCEEDED] You're right. I'd be wrong to deny Jack such joy in his life. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic008 He's done right by the tribe many times over. Tell Jack this girl is free to enter, but he is responsible for her actions. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic008 Do not make me regret this decision, outsider. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic009 Goodbye. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic010 You picked a good time to stop by, for we're swimming in problems. My youngers can tell you all about it. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic010 Raquel could use help with the bug problem, Doc Argyll has wounded he's tending to, and Loyal and Jack might be looking for help with some repairs. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic010 Or you could just go see Pete at the museum and hear the story of our people. All you have to do there is listen. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic010 Come and go as you like, help or don't help, I leave it up to you. But I hope you'll show my youngers that not every outsider needs to be blown up. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic011 Very well, I'll take your word when you say she isn't a threat to the tribe. I will allow her entry if Jack will take responsibility for her. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic011 Do not make me regret this decision, outsider. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic011 Sorry, but I can't risk exposing the tribe to more savage outsiders. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic012 [SUCCEEDED] You have to keep in mind that you're our first contact with the outside world since I was barely a woman. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic012 Seclusion has kept us safe. but the world around us is changing. Neon lights in the distance, patrolling robots, soldiers... VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic012 My youngers think our guns can keep out the world, but I think we need to let it in, just a little, or become its victim. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic012 You're that little bit of the world, child. Welcome to Nellis. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic012 [FAILED] If I were your grandma, I'd wash out your mouth with Abraxo for being so rude, child! VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic013 Very well. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic014 I'll send word to the spotters to let you come and go as you wish. Why not stay awhile before you head out? VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic015 You may find one in the workshop. You're a friend to the tribe, so I trust it will not find it's way into the wrong hands. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic015 They are too rare and valuable to simply give away, nor have you proven yourself a friend. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic016 Of course my child. After all that you have done for us we would love to help you in the upcoming battle. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic016 After all the training in virtual reality, the young ones would relish an opportunity to put their skills to battle. We'll be there when you need us. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic016 We have our ears on the radio waves. When the fighting starts you can count on our air support. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic018 Those howitzers of ours aren't just for entertainment, child! Explosive ordnance is what keeps the savages at a distance. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic018 Except you! There's something special about you, child, and it was the howitzers that gave you a chance to show it! VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic019 Prophecy? Do we look like a bunch of religious idiots? VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic019 I just hoped a savage - outsider, sorry - would make it to our gates before one of those armies out there comes knocking. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic019 That's right, child. Mother Pearl knows a storm is gathering. Times are changing. May be time for us to change a little, too. VFreeformNellisNellisPearlTopic020 I'd rather not allow more outsiders in, but I'll hear you out. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic000 Me? I'm Pete, Keeper of the Story. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic000 I know I seem kind of young. I was the apprentice Keeper of the Story until a couple months ago, but ol' Keeper Don, well... VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic000 Whiskey and land mines don't go together. So it's up to me. I bet you want to know everything about us! VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic001 Wonderful! I'm sure you've noticed the mural on the wall of this hut. Shall I tell you what it all means? VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic001 Ask away. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic001 Anything else you want to know? VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic001 Other questions you want to ask? VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic001 What else I can tell you? VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic001 I wish everyone were just as interested in our story as you are! Maybe I should act out the battles or learn how to throw my voice... VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic003 You want to hear it again? Of course! I did a good job the first time, huh? VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic004 Goodbye. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic005 Excellent. Imagine - you're the first outsider ever to hear our tale!
VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic006 If you're interested in knowing more about us, it seems like you'd be pretty amazed by the mural. Is there something else? VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic010 Several atomic warheads detonated here hundreds of years ago, leaving the base highly radioactive. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic010 The savages of the wastes, ignoramuses, all avoided Nellis by habit. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic011 Nellis is a completely self-sufficient community! We draw water from Lake Mead, solar arrays provide power, and we grow our own crops! VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic012 So you know about the vaults! Yes, we lived in one of those. Ours was numbered 34. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic012 In our vault, everyone had guns - but the overseer wouldn't let you fire off any of the really fun ones. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic012 I guess all the little pops and bangs at the firing ranges just got boring after a while! VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic013 You're right, they weren't here when we discovered Nellis! We found the guns at a huge weapon depot called Area 2, many miles from here! VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic013 It took many weeks to drag the guns and their ammunition back to Nellis - and it was the last time any of us set foot beyond our homeland! VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic014 Once we restored power, we learned that some elaborate chairs we'd been sleeping in were actually virtual reality simulators. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic014 We believe they were used to train combat pilots. We use them extensively. I alone have shot down over 500 Chinese Xian-85 fighters! VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic014 Before you ask, I'm afraid there's no way you can be allowed to use the simulators. They are for our use only. Sorry. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic015 Loyal found a file somewhere on the base, with magazine articles, photographs, a map, even. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic015 It seems that a bomber, apparently the 29th of its kind, crashed in Lake Mead on July 21st, 1948. Just imagine - that's over 300 years ago! VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic015 The photographs showed that it was basically intact, and the map tells us exactly where to find it. Except we haven't left Nellis in decades. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic016 All right. Is there something else you'd like to talk about? VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic017 Gosh, there's a lot of folks. Argyll's our doctor - he could use help tending to any injured we got. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic017 Over at the workshop, Loyal and Jack are always building something - though Loyal may not be too happy to see your kind running around Nellis. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic017 Raquel's our Master-At-Arms. I'm sure you've met her. There was a problem with some giant ants a while ago. She might want you to look into it. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic018 And at Nellis, we found it. We haven't detonated any atomic warheads since before I was born, but otherwise it's do as you will! VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic019 [SUCCEEDED] Exactly! We haven't detonated any atomic warheads since before I was born, but besides that, to heck with nitpicky restrictions! VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic020 [FAILED] Um, that's nice, but it's not really the scale of explosion that interests us... VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic021 Keep that opinion to yourself when visiting Nellis, outsider. It makes you sound ignorant. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic022 That's right! Our Geiger counter indicated that the base was radioactive, but not dangerously so. Enough time has passed. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic023 [SUCCEEDED] That's exactly right! You're very knowledgeable for a sav - an outsider! VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic024 [FAILED] Uh... no. We'd just brought devices called Geiger counters with us from the vault, that's all. The radiation levels were safe. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic025 For your information, our people had brought Geiger counters with them from the vault. The radiation levels here were within safe limits. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic025 Also for your information, Nellis is not a scrapheap! We repaired most of the damage here long ago. Nellis is comfy! VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic030 Thank you. Our self-sufficiency is a point of pride. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic031 [SUCCEEDED] Indeed we do! Very impressive. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic032 [FAILED] We are certainly not cannibals! We're not savages, like some people! VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic032 We supplement grains and green vegetables with soy and legumes - that's how we get our protein! VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic033 Our nutrition is not deficient! We supplement our diet of grains and vegetables with soy and legumes for protein. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic034 Yes, there's just about nothing we won't do to get our hands on some explosive ordnance! VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic035 [SUCCEEDED] Thank you so much! I'll be sure to pass that on. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic036 [FAILED] I think it would be an exaggeration to imply that our interest in explosive ordnance is at odds with our integrity... VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic037 There's nothing wrong with our interest in explosive ordnance. It's kept the savages out. Until today, at least. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic038 Thank you for being so understanding. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic039 [SUCCEEDED] That's beautiful! Yes, it's exactly like that, so free, so... words can't do it justice. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic040 [FAILED] Your attempt at poetry, is... uh, beautiful, certainly. But it doesn't really work like that. Flying, I mean. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic041 I can see how you think that, since you don't know what you're talking about. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic042 It'll be spectacular, won't it? You should talk to Loyal. I bet you could help. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic043 [SUCCEEDED] Yes! In fact, that's exactly what Loyal has planned to do. You should go talk to him! VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic044 [FAILED] I'm not a mechanic, but after 300 years I don't think those engines would just start up. VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic045 As I said, repairing and flying the bomber is our destiny. It's that simple. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelMissiles How many? VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic000 Follow close - and mind your behavior. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic002 I oversee the security of the Nellis homeland, from the coordination of its defenses to the training and fitness of its population. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic003 All right. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic007 I wasn't the one firing the howitzers. If you want to see how good I am at killing savages, I can show you. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic007 Or you can accept Mother Pearl's invitation. It's your choice. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic008 Long story short, the power failed a few days ago because giant ants have tunneled into the generator room and set up a nest. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic008 I led a team down to exterminate them, but there were... so many of them. We lost two killed, three wounded. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic008 Personally, I think it's more than a savage can handle, but if you want to kill those ants and switch the power back on, feel free. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic011 All I need is a pretext. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic012 We haven't seen the last of each other, savage. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic012 Get those ants handled, savage. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic012 Stay out of trouble. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic013 Sure, anyone can. But there's more than a few down there. See for yourself. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic013 One other thing. The ants must be eating gunpowder from the munitions down there, or something. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic013 They exploded when hit by a flamethrower. One of us was using a laser pistol - same thing. Bullets seem okay, just don't hit the artillery shells. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic013 Loyal's been working on some kind of weapon to use against them. Maybe you should check with him. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic014 Don't get my hopes up. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic014 One other thing. The ants must be eating gunpowder from the munitions down there, or something. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic014 They exploded when hit by a flamethrower. One of us was using a laser pistol - same thing. Bullets seem okay, just don't hit the artillery shells. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic014 Loyal's been working on some kind of weapon to use against them. Maybe you should check with him. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic015 A savage, scared of bugs? I don't believe it. I'm sure you'll change your mind. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic015 One other thing. The ants must be eating gunpowder from the munitions down there, or something. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic015 They exploded when hit by a flamethrower. One of us was using a laser pistol - same thing. Bullets seem okay, just don't hit the artillery shells. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic015 Loyal's been working on some kind of weapon to use against them. Maybe you should check with him. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic016 It's not in progress if you're up here talking to me. Get it taken care of. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic017 If that's so, why isn't the power back on? Remember how I told you to power up the generators when the ants are dead? VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic017 Looks like you've still got some work left to do. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic019 Maybe Pearl is right about you, because I don't know how you pulled that off. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic019 I'll tell Loyal to send someone down to clear out the eggs and repair the generators. Good work. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic020 I didn't tell you to kill most of the ants. It's an either-or proposition. Get down there and finish them off. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic021 [SUCCEEDED] Maybe Pearl is right about you, because I don't know how you pulled that off. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic021 I'll tell Loyal to send someone down to clear out the eggs and repair the generators. Good work. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic021 [FAILED] You're a terrible liar. Get down there and clear out those ants. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic022 I already said you did a good job. I don't give out hugs. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic023 You may have missed an ant or two?" Get back down there and finish those ants off!" VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic024 The next time you leave Nellis, keep an eye out for missiles. We're down to a five-year supply for our launchers. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic025 Right. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic026 Come find me when you've got some to turn in. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic027 Fine. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic028 It's better than nothing. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic029 Thanks. Those'll last us a day. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic030 Good work. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic031 What kind of fool doesn't keep track of reserve ammunition? Don't waste my time. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic033 As I said, she is our Eldest. Mother Pearl has lived at Nellis from the start, and has the wisdom of her age. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic033 She said this day would come, and that any savage to reach our gates should be brought to her. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic035 Unacceptable. You've made it this far, probed our defenses, seen our faces. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic035 Mother Pearl's invitation is mandatory, not optional. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic035 I told you, Mother Pearl's invitation is not optional. VFreeformNellisNellisRaquelTopic038 Confiscate your weapons? Certainly not! Personal armament is the foundation of social trust and responsibility. VFreeformNellisPeteMural01 Ages ago, long before I was born, we lived underground. Everyone had guns but the overseer wouldn't let us explode anything, not even a hand grenade. VFreeformNellisPeteMural02 We left and wandered the wastes. There were savages with knives. We blew them up with frag mines and grenades, burned them with flamethrowers. VFreeformNellisPeteMural03 It was neat, but there was a downside. For every 43.6 savages we killed, we lost one of our own. We needed a new home. We needed Nellis. VFreeformNellisPeteMural04 Nellis, glittering like shrapnel in the desert sun. Nellis, bursting with missiles, warheads, and bombs. Nellis had waited. Just for us. VFreeformNellisPeteMural05 Here, we have prospered and multiplied. Here, our mighty guns destroy any savages who might try to harm us before they can even reach our gates! VFreeformNellisPeteMural06 Well, until... but... not saying you want to harm us or you're a savage, but... anyways. VFreeformNellisPeteMural07 Nellis has revealed many secrets. It has taught us how to fly the bombers once based here. And it has taught us where to find one! VFreeformNellisPeteMural08 And that is our story so far, for this last image is our future. VFreeformNellisPeteMural09 To restore the bomber, to fly the open skies in armored safety, raining high-explosive ordnance upon ignorant savages - this is our destiny! VFreeformNellisPeteMural10 I'm pleased that you listened to the entire story! Perhaps there are details you'd like to know more about? Let me know. VFreeformNellisTopic000 Well, look elsewhere. I can't let you near a patient after what happened. VFreeformNellisTopic000 You're finished? So are they, I'm afraid. Your medicine was almost as dangerous to them as those giant ants! VFreeformNellisTopic000 You did more harm than good, I think. Your heart was in the right place, at least. VFreeformNellisTopic000 Those men owe you their lives. Seems we could learn a thing or two from you savages, when it comes to medicine, at least. VFreeformNellisTopic000 Well, there are still patients left to treat... though I worry you'll just make them worse. VFreeformNellisTopic000 There are still patients in need of treatment. Help them if you can. VFreeformNellisTopic000 I have three patients here who were gravely injured fighting those giant ants in the generator building a few days ago. VFreeformNellisTopic000 I've stabilized their wounds, but they're in bad shape. Do you have medical training? VFreeformNellisTopic001 Seeing as you're a friend of ours, I suppose we could trade for what you need. VFreeformNellisTopic001 I'm afraid medications are in short supply. Maybe you should seek medical treatment away from Nellis. VFreeformNellisTopic002 Goodbye. VFreeformNellisTopic003 Sure. Pearl gave the green light. Take a look at the manifest. VFreeformNellisTopic003 Not without Pearl's permission, and she hasn't given permission. VFreeformNellisTopic004 Later. VFreeformNovacRangerAndyTopic000 In Ranger school, they teach you how to spot a liar. I don't know why you're lying, but have it your way. We'll protect this town or die trying. vFreeformSloanPrimmTyroneTopic000 Later. vFreeformSloanPrimmTyroneTopic001 Just making some deliveries to the troops here in Primm. I'm stationed in California, but I come across the border a couple times a month. vFreeformSloanPrimmTyroneTopic002 {hushed}You trying to get me busted? Keep your damn voice down - Lieutenant Hayes already has his eye on me. vFreeformSloanPrimmTyroneTopic002 Look, I already told Chomps that the NCR's getting suspicious of all these misplaced" supplies. Bigger risk means bigger cost - 300 caps bigger." vFreeformSloanPrimmTyroneTopic002 Keep your damn voice down. Even though Lieutenant Hayes got himself killed recently, somebody else might be watching me. vFreeformSloanPrimmTyroneTopic002 Look, I already told Chomps that the NCR's getting suspicious of all these misplaced" supplies. Bigger risk means bigger cost - 300 caps bigger." vFreeformSloanPrimmTyroneTopic003 Yeah, and as it turns out, the advance wasn't enough. The price has gone up. That's just how it goes. vFreeformSloanPrimmTyroneTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] I've reconsidered my position, and I think it would be in my best interest if I were to sacrifice my profit on this particular deal. vFreeformSloanPrimmTyroneTopic004 [FAILED] {completely insincere}I'd love to help you and Chomps, but I got my own expenses to worry about. vFreeformSloanPrimmTyroneTopic005 [SUCCEEDED] Fine, I'll just eat the cost and do a favor for Chomps. Just this one time only. vFreeformSloanPrimmTyroneTopic005 [FAILED] Hey, that's just business. vFreeformSloanPrimmTyroneTopic006 Pleasure doing business with you. {winking}Of course, this whole deal never happened, am I right? vFreeformSloanPrimmTyroneTopic007 Whatever. You know where to find me. vFreeformSloanPrimmTyroneTopic008 Still got 'em. You ready to pay up? vFreeformSloanPrimmTyroneTopic009 It's better than farming or herding Brahmin. As long as they don't send me to the front lines, I'm a happy man. vFreeformSloanPrimmTyroneTopic010 {Black Widow}Well, it has been awhile. All right, let's do this. vFreeformSloanPrimmTyroneTopic011 {Strength 7+}{intimidated by player's strength}Uh, never mind. Take the supplies. All yours, friend. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic000 If you insist on going north, don't be expecting a rescue when you get into trouble. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic000 Yep. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic001 I've been there once, and I don't recommend it. It's just a way to burn through a month's pay in five minutes. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic001 I've seen a lot of folks come through here thinking they'll have the easy life once they get there. It never happens. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic002 They moved into the quarry after the Powder Gangers came through and made off with most of our dynamite. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic002 We shut the quarry down while we waited for the NCR to get us some more blasting sticks, but now the Deathclaws have shown up. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic002 The NCR's a no-show, and my men and I have got nothing to do but sit on our asses all day. It's damn frustrating. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic003 They're a bunch of escaped cons from down south. The NCR was using them to maintain the railways as part of their sentence. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic003 I don't know who screwed up, but the Powder Gangers are loose. It was one group that attacked us and took our entire supply of dynamite. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic004 We'd see them occasionally, but they didn't seem too keen on getting too close to the quarry. Not sure if it was the noise or all the workers. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic004 I can't believe that an entire pack moved into the quarry. I thought that kind of bad luck only happened in New Vegas. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic005 Have you even seen a Deathclaw? They're taller than a man and far, far stronger and faster. And, there's a whole pack of them out there. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic005 You'd have to be the meanest, toughest, roughest bastard in the wasteland to have any chance against them, and I don't think that's you. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic005 You'd need to take out the pack leaders - the Mother Deathclaw and the Deathclaw Alpha Male. Kill 'em, and the pack will scatter. Pretty tough job. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic005 I don't what it is about you, but I think you could actually pull it off. Deathclaws are tough bastards, but you might be even tougher. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic005 Nobody here's any use to you in a fight against Deathclaws, but take these medical supplies. You'll probably need them. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic005 To do the job right, you've got to get rid of the pack leaders - the Mother Deathclaw and the Deathclaw Alpha Male. Should run the rest of 'em off. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic006 Okay. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic007 This is Sloan, a camp for us quarry workers. The actual quarry, Quarry Junction, is up the road north of here. The whole thing is an NCR operation. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic007 We make cement for the NCR using the limestone we dig out with dynamite and draglines. Dirty work, but the pay's good. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic007 Wish we got paid in caps, though. Not a lot of merchants like taking NCR paper money. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic008 It all gets shipped by rail over towards Boulder City and Hoover Dam. The NCR's probably building fortifications with it all. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic009 It's a big machine which moves rocks around, piles at a time. It's Pre-War tech, so you need to thump it once in awhile to keep it running. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic010 Nope. The NCR's been trying to switch over to using paper money, like in the Pre-War days. Trouble is that the exchange rates ain't exactly fair. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic010 For example, a hundred bucks in NCR money is valued at roughly half that in caps around here. Seems like a rotten deal for us, but work is work. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic011 Ah, yes. I think I know which friend you mean. Even if there weren't Deathclaws in the quarry, there'd still be no delivery. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic011 The supplier, a guy in Primm named Tyrone, is a cheating son of a bitch who won't deliver even though he's already been paid in advance. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic012 Sure. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic013 Yeah, he - or she, I guess - wandered into camp a couple of months back. Seemed friendly enough. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic013 Ugly-looking thing, but the guys like having it around. Good for morale and all that. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic014 It's nice to see things going the way they're supposed to, for a change. I'm going to pay you out of my own pocket for this one. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic015 I'd noticed Snuffles limping, but I didn't realize the problem was that serious. Thanks - that beast helps keep spirits up around here. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic016 You... you did? That's pretty amazing - I figured you'd need artillery to take her out. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic016 I hate to say it, but as long as the Alpha Male is still alive, that pack isn't going anywhere, even with the Deathclaw Mother out of the picture. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic017 You... you did? That's pretty amazing - I figured you'd need artillery to take him out. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic017 I hate to say it, but as long as the Deathclaw Mother is still alive, that pack isn't going anywhere. She'll take another mate and keep laying eggs. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic018 Coming from anyone else, I'd say they were drunk or crazy, but that look in your eyes - I believe you. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic018 I can pay you, but it ain't much for what you pulled off. I'll get on the ham radio first thing and tell people all about you, though. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic019 I'm just the middle man. The Great Khans are a hard group, and some of them are no good, but they're not all the same. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic019 I believe in the NCR, but that doesn't make it right for them to roll over anyone who doesn't want any part of 'em. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic020 He's always been shady, but this is the first time he's outright screwed me. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic021 Good luck. vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic022 She's my daughter. Takes a little too much after her mother, rest her soul, but she's happy with the Great Khans, and that's enough for me. vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic000 Uh... hmm... well, no accounting for taste I guess. Anyway... vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic000 I've got this recipe for a Deathclaw Omelet that I've been itching to try out. Trouble is - I need a Deathclaw egg. Kinda obvious, I suppose. vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic001 {slightly excited, has a passion for cooking exotic recipes}I've got this recipe for a Deathclaw Omelet that I've been itching to try out. Trouble is - I need a Deathclaw egg. Kinda obvious, I suppose. vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic002 You're just pulling my leg, right? Why would anyone... uh... never mind. Anyway... vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic002 I've got this recipe for a Deathclaw Omelet that I've been itching to try out. Trouble is - I need a Deathclaw egg. Kinda obvious, I suppose. vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic003 {amused}Ha. Yeah, can you believe some people still eat that stuff? Anyway... vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic004 My great-aunt Rose ran a bed and breakfast back in California, in a town called Modoc. She's the one who created the recipe in the first place. vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic004 I don't know how she managed to get a hold of a female Deathclaw, but she kept it in a shed. Aunt Rose had a steady supply of eggs for her omelets. vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic004 At least, she did until some stranger came along and killed the Deathclaw. Shot it right in the eye. vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic005 The quarry just north of here is full of Deathclaws, so there's bound to be an egg or two in there somewhere. vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic005 Of course, a Deathclaw egg from anywhere will do. According to my Aunt Rose, those things have a ridiculously long shelf life. vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic006 I don't have much in the way of money, but I'd be willing to share the secret of the recipe. vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic007 All right. Do you need anything to eat or drink? vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic008 All right, then! vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic009 Yeah? vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic010 Sure. What did you want to know? vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic011 Sure thing. vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic015 Oh, I'm not. I'm making my way to New Vegas. They say anything goes there, and best of all, the NCR can't mess it up for you. vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic015 I'll get there eventually. I've heard that you can't even get into the Strip unless you're rich. vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic016 Born and raised. Things back in California are better than they've ever been, according to my grandpa. vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic016 The Raiders are mostly gone now and it's easy enough to get a job at one of the mills or farms. But now there's taxes and laws and other things. vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic016 The NCR keeps things safe and orderly, but it's all very boring. So, I came out east towards the frontier. vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic017 Well, there's the Deathclaws, of course, and there was that one group of Powder Gangers who stole all the dynamite. vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic017 I think we're too small and poor for anyone to bother with, really. I keep a weapon near my bunk, though - same as everybody here. vFreeformSloanQJJasWilkinsTopic018 I can't believe you actually got one. Give me a bit to get the recipe set up, then talk to me again. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic000 Don't leave a trail. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic001 The only Khans this far into NCR territory is me and my crew, and I didn't steal squat from you. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic001 Besides, even if some of my gang did steal from you, I wouldn't rat them out. Loyalty actually means something to the Great Khans. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic001 As far as I know, it's just me and my crew out here, and if it really was Great Khans who mugged you, they didn't come this way. I'd have seen 'em. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic002 Awaiting a delivery, but it's a no-show. I'm guessing that the Deathclaws in the quarry have something to do with that. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic003 {not trusting player}Is that right? What's your angle? vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic003 {Great Khans - Vilified}I know something of your reputation with my gang, and I can't be seen working with you. Sorry, but I'll handle this. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic004 Supplies to make chems. The NCR's the best source since they're hard to come by anywhere else. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic004 We don't really use the chems ourselves, just sell them to anybody with the caps. If it ends up hurting the NCR in the process, that's a bonus. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic005 The Khans and the NCR don't get along - they prefer to shoot us on sight, even if we're not looking for a fight. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic006 {still not trusting}Right. All right, here's the deal. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic006 I was expecting a shipment of chemicals. It's usually in a suitcase dropped off in one of the big machines up here. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic006 Because of the Deathclaws, I have to assume that the suitcase is still in Sloan. Snoop around the place and get it for me. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic007 All right, fair enough. You help us out, and I'll owe you one. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic008 That's a motive I can understand. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic009 I wouldn't eat or drink them, but no, they won't explode if you drop them or anything. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic010 {slightly suspicious}Like what? vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic011 Don't kill anybody if you don't have to. I'm a scout, and I like to keep a low profile. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic012 You actually came through for us. I... didn't expect that. Anyway, the Great Khans pay their debts and don't forget their friends. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic012 If you ever come out to Red Rock Canyon, I'll put in a good word for you. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic013 {suspicious}Uh-huh. And how exactly was he exposed? vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic014 We're an independent group. We take care of our own and don't take crap from anybody, especially the NCR. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic017 That's a smart move. The Great Khans look out for their friends. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic018 Bitter Springs happened. Women and children died when the NCR attacked the Great Khans there, and the NCR just pretends it never happened. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic019 Our main camp is up in Red Rock Canyon, but we don't allow just anyone to come on in. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic019 The NCR can't touch us there - too many places for us to ambush them. We see their scouts poking around once in awhile, but they keep their distance. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic020 {furious}I knew I shouldn't have trusted you! You're going to pay for that! vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic021 {annoyed}Well, fuck. I can't believe I'm going back to Red Rock empty-handed. Thanks for trying to help. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic022 I don't think that's the whole story, but fuck it. I'm going back to Red Rock. I've had enough of this place. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic023 I doubt the NCR thinks so. Heh. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic024 {slight wincing}It wasn't easy. There's a lot of initiation rituals to go through, and I've got the scars to prove it. vFreeformSloanQJMelissaTopic024 {pride}But, in the end, I was tough enough to be made a member. Proudest day of my life. vFreeformSloanQJSnufflesTopic000

VFreeformSSHQJacklynTopic001 Some what? Never mind, I'm going to take a few moments to compose myself, then head out. Thank you again. VFreeformSSHQJacklynTopic002 No reason it should, I suppose. I need to be going. Thank you again. VFreeformSSHQJacklynTopic003 Er, no, I don't think so. Caps are caps, right? VFreeformSSHQJacklynTopic003 Look, I think I need a few moments to compose myself, then head out. Once again, thanks. VFreeformSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic011 Oh, that's right! Here, let me show you what I've got on hand. VFreeformSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic012 There's not much more to tell. Get enough stars and the treasure's yours. Just watch out for some of the other people collecting them. VFreeformSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic013 If you say so. Maybe we'll meet again. VFreeformSSHQNVCRFestusTopic000 That's too bad. Ol' Festus was looking forward to a good tussle. VFreeformSSHQSSHQJacklynTopic000 Stay safe. The road's dangerous in these parts. Or so I hear. VFreeformSSHQSSHQJacklynTopic001 What? This? He stole this from me at gunpoint. Lucky for me, he got distracted and I got a chance to draw on him. VFreeformSSHQSSHQJacklynTopic001 It's a, uh, necklace that I made out of these special caps. You ever see any caps with a blue star on them like these? VFreeformSSHQSSHQJacklynTopic002 Ah, then you know how rare they are. I'm just glad they're back where they belong. You can never be too careful these days. VFreeformSSHQSSHQJacklynTopic002 Well, it was nice to meet you. I'm going to take a few moments to get myself together, then head out. VFreeformSSHQSSHQJacklynTopic003 That's too bad. They're very rare. Well, I should be going. Nice talking to you. VFreeformSSHQSSHQJacklynTopic004 You know, I was just thinking the same thing about you. VFreeformSSHQSSHQJacklynTopic005 They are nice, aren't they? I'm very proud of them. VFreeformSSHQSSHQJacklynTopic005 Pretty sure, yeah. it's really nice, isn't it? Have you ever seen caps with pretty blue stars on them like these? VFreeformSSHQSSHQJacklynTopic006 Well, I guess you're just too smart for me. Unfortunately, I can't leave any witnesses behind. VFreeformSSHQSSHQJacklynTopic007 So what if I did? What are you going to do about it? VFreeformSSHQSSHQJacklynTopic009 H-here. You can have the damn necklace. Just leave me alone! VFreeformSSHQSSHQJacklynTopic010 You are such a wimp! Die! VFreeformSSHQSSHQJacklynTopic011 Not if I kill you first! VFreeformSSHQSSHQJacklynTopic013 Fat chance of that. What are you going to do if don't? VFreeformSSHQSSHQJacklynTopic014 Uh, sure. I'll just be going then. VFreeformSSHQSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic001 It started off innocently enough. I was traveling, as I often do, and happened to observe you picking up one of those blue-star caps. VFreeformSSHQSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic001 You didn't show any reaction to it, so I figured you didn't know what you'd gotten your hands on. VFreeformSSHQSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic003 Okay, you're a dangerous sort. I get that. But I have some information I think you'll find useful, which made me follow you for a spell. VFreeformSSHQSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic004 There's an old wasteland legend that says somewhere out there is a fabulous treasure from before the war. VFreeformSSHQSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic004 Those caps with the blue star on them, the tale goes, are the key to that treasure. They're called Sunset Sarsaparilla Stars. VFreeformSSHQSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic005 I had to make sure of your disposition. There's a lot of jumpy folks out there that'd shoot a man as soon as talk to him. VFreeformSSHQSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic005 Now that's we're conversing, though, I can tell you what I know about those caps. VFreeformSSHQSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic006 Fine. Just do me a favor. If you find more of those things, and plan on keeping them, watch out for a man named Allen Marks. VFreeformSSHQSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic006 He's killed more than a few people to collect as many of those caps as he can, and your ignorance as to what they are won't protect you. VFreeformSSHQSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic016 All over the place. The easiest place to find them is unopened bottles of Sunset Sarsaparilla. VFreeformSSHQSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic016 You'd think they'd all have been picked clean by now, but somehow new bottles keep appearing in the machines. VFreeformSSHQSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic016 Some say it's old Festus that does it, hoping someone will finally collect enough caps to earn the treasure. VFreeformSSHQSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic016 Other than bottles, you'll just have to scavenge. You can find caps in the unlikeliest of places, and blue-star caps are no exception. VFreeformSSHQSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic017 Nah, I gave it up years ago. Too dangerous. And even if I did still collect them, I'd tell you the same. VFreeformSSHQSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic017 There's people out there so mad with the idea of treasure that they'll attack strangers just on the suspicion that they have some of those caps. VFreeformSSHQSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic019 No one knows. Money? Weapons? Water? It is, or maybe was, something of value, and that's enough to get people motivated. VFreeformSSHQSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic022 It's said that the treasure is guarded by a man named Festus, and he's the one who asks for the blue-star caps. VFreeformSSHQSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic022 It's also said that he's been around since the war, standing a lonely vigil, waiting for someone to come and take the treasure off his hands. VFreeformSSHQSSHQMalcolmHolmesTopic022 That'd make him pretty damn old, but I've met a few people in my travels who claimed they actually met him, and they weren't the lying type either. VFreeformSSHQSSHQTomasTopic000 No, none at all. We've been traveling together since I picked her up a few days ago, and she's been friendly this whole time. VFreeformSSHQSSHQTomasTopic000 We'd actually been flirting a little when she suddenly pulled a gun out and began yelling at me to hand my caps over. VFreeformSSHQSSHQTomasTopic000 Now that I think of it, though, she laughed when I threw her my money. I think what she really wanted was my lucky charm necklace. VFreeformSSHQSSHQTomasTopic004 No time for strangers, huh? I should probably follow your example. That's the last time I pick up a straggler on the road, believe me. VFreeformSSHQSSHQTomasTopic005 Not for long. I met her on the road a few days ago, and we've been traveling together since. VFreeformSSHQSSHQTomasTopic006 Yeah, every once in a while you can find a cap with a blue star on it. They're pretty rare, so I started collecting them. VFreeformSSHQSSHQTomasTopic006 Once I had enough, I made a necklace out of them, since I thought they were lucky. VFreeformSSHQSSHQTomasTopic006 And maybe they are, since you managed to show up at just the right time. VFreeformSSHQSSHQTomasTopic006 Yeah, every once in a while you can find a cap with a blue star on it. They're pretty rare, so I started collecting them. VFreeformSSHQSSHQTomasTopic006 Once I had enough, I made a necklace out of them, since I thought they were lucky. VFreeformSSHQSSHQTomasTopic008 [SUCCEEDED] Really? I had no idea. And here I've been carrying them all this time, never knowing how dangerous they were. VFreeformSSHQSSHQTomasTopic008 What do you think I should do with them? Bury 'em or something? VFreeformSSHQSSHQTomasTopic008 [FAILED] Even if what you're saying is true, I think I'll take my chances. This necklace and I have been through a lot, and we're both still kicking. VFreeformSSHQSSHQTomasTopic008 If that's not lucky, what is? VFreeformSSHQSSHQTomasTopic009 What? The hell I will! VFreeformSSHQSSHQTomasTopic010 Uh, yeah, sure. H-here you go. Just don't hurt me. VFreeformSSHQSSHQTomasTopic011 They're all yours. I sincerely hope they work better for you than they did for me. VFreeformSSHQSSHQTomasTopic012 You got it. I'm glad I ran into you. Thanks for the advice. VFreeformSSHQSSHQTomasTopic014 I will. That's the last time I pick up a straggler on the road, believe me. VFreeformSSHQTopic000 I am now. I was just minding my own business heading west when that psycho came out of nowhere and started shooting! VFreeformSSHQTopic000 He kept shouting about stars or something. Does that make any sense to you? VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic000 Later. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic001 Yeah? VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic002 We breed them, mostly, but sometimes we get some good ones from Denver. That whole city is overrun with them. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic003 Okay. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic004 Been doing it since I was a boy. The mongrels know to listen up when I start talking to them. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic005 The stupid girl should know by now that even the rags on her back are a privilege. Anyway, my mongrels like their new toy. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic005 Tell you what - you square off with four of my best dogs. No armor and no weapons except a machete. You survive and I let you have the bear. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic005 You ready to fight my mongrels, then? VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic006 Oh? Such things are common in Denver, but I didn't know that other cities had them as well. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic007 I see. That's very strange. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic008 I ask because Caesar once had a similar pet, but it was lost during a battle. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic009 [SUCCEEDED] All right, two it is. They'll still be more than enough to take you down, I think. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic009 [FAILED] No deal. You and four of my dogs. Not two, not three - four. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic011 It took years for {KAI-zar}Caesar to conquer Lanius' tribe, and {KAI-zar}Caesar showed mercy to the survivors, allowing them to join the Legion. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic011 Had the positions been reversed, {KAI-zar}Caesar would be dead. Lanius is called the Monster of the East because he never, ever shows mercy. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic012 I think they'll probably end up killing you. I trained them myself. But, if you do win somehow, the mongrels will at least get honorable deaths. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic013 I thought something was wrong. We usually have to pull them off any visitors to the Fort. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic013 Well, that's no fun. Take the bear. I'll find them something else to chew on. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic014 Take the bear. I can't believe I let some of my best dogs get killed over this stupid thing. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic014 Your stuff is in the crate next to the arena entrance. Leave it there too long and we'll dump it in the lake. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic014 Huh. I could've sworn I had that stupid bear on me. Well, tough luck for you, I guess. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic015 You do that. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic016 Good luck - you'll need it. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic018 Lupa? Yes, she's the mother of a lot of our best dogs. She's getting old, but she's still a tough old bitch. {to Lupa}Aren't you, girl? VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic019 Yeah, I guess you're right. Here. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic020 Cyber-dog? Like the ones I've seen up in Denver? I know what you're talking about, and it would make Lupa immortal in a way. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic021 You give Lupa a worthy death in the arena, and her brain is yours. Don't let your guard down just because she's old, though. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic021 Oh, and standard arena rules still apply. You don't get to wear armor and you get only a machete for a weapon. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic022 Not too common but you still see 'em around. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic023 All right. {to Lupa}You've been a good dog, Lupa. Die well, girl. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic024 Take all the time you need, otherwise Lupa will tear your throat out. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic025 You sure? Last chance to back out. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic028 I've been around dogs all my life. They're my life, always were - {pauses, thinking back, as if he's forgotten}all the way back when I was a tribal, one of the Hangdogs, outside Denver. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic028 {Still thinking back}Dogs roamed that city. Our tribe made peace with them. {Scoffs, trying to dismiss painful memory}Thought they were our spirit animals - helped us hunt, provided for us in some lean times. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic028 Then the Legion came. {Beat}Good thing, too. {Trying to convince himself}Stronger now, don't need those beliefs anymore. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic029 When the Legion showed up, we fought, most tribes did. Hangdogs hung out longer than most... {beat}broke us by throwing our dogs on the fire. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic029 {A little quiet, to himself, painful memory - scornful he ever believed this}So we gave up, our elders couldn't bear the idea of our spirit animals burning in the afterlife. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic029 {Rallies}Still, Caesar was impressed enough to conscript us, use our skills with dogs to join the Legion as houndmasters. VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic030 {hiding his fear behind angry denial}He's a story to frighten the younger Legionaries. He's dead - no man, no matter how tough, could survive a fall into the Grand Canyon. VFreeformTheFortFortDaleBartonTopic000 He's the best the Legion has to offer, or so the Legionaries say. Brute of man, wears a fancy metal mask into battle. VFreeformTheFortFortDaleBartonTopic000 He killed one of my pack Brahmin simply because it was in his way. I knew better than to complain about it, though. VFreeformTheFortFortDaleBartonTopic003 Shoot. VFreeformTheFortFortDaleBartonTopic004 All right. VFreeformTheFortFortDaleBartonTopic005 No, sir. I'm an independent trader from Arizona. VFreeformTheFortFortDaleBartonTopic005 No, ma'am. I'm an independent trader from Arizona. VFreeformTheFortFortDaleBartonTopic006 Not at all - they're my best customers. As long as you don't try to sell 'em chems or alcohol, they treat you fair. VFreeformTheFortFortDaleBartonTopic006 Hell, I don't even need to travel with guards most of the time in Legion territory. All the bandits are dead or run off. VFreeformTheFortFortDaleBartonTopic008 Between having to hire protection and getting slapped with taxes, it's more profitable to stick to Arizona and New Mexico. VFreeformTheFortFortDaleBartonTopic008 But, I do cross the river from time to time when an opportunity comes along. VFreeformTheFortFortDaleBartonTopic009 I haven't had the pleasure. I have crossed paths with Legate Lanius, his second-in-command, however. It was... unpleasant. VFreeformTheFortFortDaleBartonTopic010 Have a look. VFreeformTheFortFortDaleBartonTopic011 I'll grab my tools. VFreeformTheFortFortDaleBartonTopic012 Be seeing you around. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic000 It's a tradition in the {pray-TORR-ians}Praetorians to specialize in unarmed combat because weapons can break or jam when needed most. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic000 However, our unarmed techniques favor offense over defense. We can charge the enemy and flatten him with our first strike before he can react. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic001 I'll answer if I can. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic002 Very well. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic003 When I was a boy, the Legion conquered my tribe. I was chosen for training as a Legionary. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic003 I fought in many battles for the Legion. Eventually, Caesar chose me to lead his Praetorian Guard. It was a great honor. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic007 The girls and women were enslaved, and many of the men and boys were also chosen to become Legionaries. The rest were killed. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic008 We were savages. The Legion raised us up, made us better than what we were. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic009 What did you want to talk about? VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic010 The NCR Rangers are the biggest threat. Without them, the NCR is nothing. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic011 We had the numbers, but not the tactics. I know - I was there at Boulder City when we were defeated. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic011 We relied too much on veteran Legionaries for direction and leadership, and the Rangers exploited our weakness by killing our best from afar. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic012 We recently obtained an artillery weapon, but we don't have the part or the skill to fix it. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic012 The artillery weapon needs the firing mechanism replaced. Any help you can offer would be appreciated. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic013 Well done. It will be very useful in the coming battle against the snipers the NCR will no doubt have hidden in the hills near the Dam. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic014 The tribe calling themselves the Boomers is obsessed with such weapons, I've been told. You can probably find a spare firing mechanism there. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic015 The trader, Dale Barton, salvaged it from a military base in Arizona. Yuma, I believe. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic016 The best marksman of the NCR are usually at the rear of any battle. The gun will allow us to strike at them. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic017 {KAI-zar}Caesar has taught us that over-reliance on firearms can only weaken us in the long run. It's why we train heavily with our blades and our fists. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic017 Unlike an NCR trooper, a Legionary is always ready to fight regardless of the circumstance he finds himself in. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic018 And just about every one of them is occupied. Not all at the same time, usually - groups of Legionaries come and go all the time. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic018 This also only one camp of many. You might have noticed the other camps down by the river. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic019 Legate Lanius will take Caesar's place at the head of the Legion. The Legate is a fine warrior, and the Legion will do well under his command. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic020 {WAH-lay}Vale. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic023 {Caesar alive}No, Legate Lanius is Caesar's second. The Legate replaced the Burned Man after the Legion's defeat at the Dam several years ago. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic023 {Caesar dead}Legate Lanius has not chosen anyone to be his second yet. It would be an honor to be selected, though. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic024 I understand. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic025 {Bad rep with Legion}You have a poor reputation in the Legion. It wouldn't be acceptable for me to teach you anything right now. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic025 {Not enough Unarmed skill}[FAILED] I've watched you move, and I can tell you simply don't have the skill to learn the technique. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic025 [SUCCEEDED] Of course. This will take some time, and I'm not a forgiving teacher. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic026 The Burned Man was {KAI-zar's}Caesar's advisor and general when the Legion was originally formed. The Burned Man led us to a disastrous defeat at the Dam. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic026 On {KAI-zar's}Caesar's orders, the Burned Man was covered in pitch by the {pray-TORE-ian}Praetorian Guard, lit on fire, and cast into the Grand Canyon. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic026 {KAI-zar}Caesar has forbidden us from ever speaking his true name again, and so we simply refer to him as the Burned Man. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic027 He's the best warrior in the Legion. A full Legionary by the time he was 12, he's never lost a battle. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic027 Had the Legate been in command during the Battle of Hoover Dam, the Legion would've won. I have no doubt about that. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic028 {KAI-zar's}Caesar's death is regrettable, but we can't let it stand in the way of the Legion's goals. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic028 Our scouts have reported that the NCR's President Kimball will be visiting the Dam. This is an excellent opportunity to assassinate him. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic028 You are to meet with Cato Hostilius - he'll have more information on ways to eliminate Kimball. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic030 {triumphant}The loss of morale in the NCR must have been staggering when their leader fell. It's proof that no one is out of the Legion's reach. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic030 We are preparing to move against the Dam, and Legate Lanius has a part for you to play in the battle. Report to him at his camp. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic031 Killing Kimball would've struck fear into the NCR. It's unfortunate that you weren't able to take advantage of this opportunity. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic031 We are preparing to move against the Dam, and Legate Lanius has a part for you to play in the battle. Report to him at his camp. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic032 [SUCCEEDED] What you say is true. I apologize for my rash action - it was out of grief and loyalty. I hope you understand. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic032 [FAILED] Save your excuses. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic033 [SUCCEEDED] I apologize for my rash action. I understand fighting and killing, not healing. I acted out of grief and loyalty. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic033 [FAILED] It's obvious you know as little about medicine as I do. Spare me your excuses. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic034 Avenge {KAI-zar}Caesar! VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic035 Yet you failed, and you must pay. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic036 Yet you failed, and you must pay. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic037 {hesitant, knowing player is right}No... I suppose not. You've proved that you're a friend to us many times. I apologize for my temper. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic039 His head exploded, idiot. Of course it's your fault. {to his men}Avenge {KAI-zar}Caesar! VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic040 Yes, we can't let {KAI-zar's}Caesar's death get in the way of the Legion's goals. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic040 Our scouts have reported that the NCR's President Kimball will be visiting the Dam. This is an excellent opportunity to assassinate him. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic040 You are to meet with Cato Hostilius - he'll have more information on ways to eliminate Kimball. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic041 {cooly responding to the player's threat}We'll see about that. In any case, we can't let {KAI-zar's}Caesar's death get in the way of the Legion's goals. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic041 Our scouts have reported that the NCR's President Kimball will be visiting the Dam. This is an excellent opportunity to assassinate him. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic041 You are to meet with Cato Hostilius - he'll have more information on ways to eliminate Kimball. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic042 Very well. I'll have him seized and brought to {KAI-zar}Caesar as his personal physician. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic042 So shall I have him seized or not? VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic043 It will be done. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic044 {annoyed with player}{KAI-zar}Caesar's health worsens, and your indecision is unhelpful. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic045 See that you do. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic046 {dismissing}Go. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic047 We'll see. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic048 Killing Kimball would've struck fear into the NCR. It's unfortunate that you weren't able to take advantage of this opportunity. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic048 We are preparing to move against the Dam, and Legate Lanius has a part for you to play in the battle. Report to him at his camp. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic049 Fix it, then. You're not leaving until it's done and {KAI-zar}Caesar lives. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic050 Do it, then. You're not leaving until it's done and {KAI-zar}Caesar lives. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic051 Good. I'll have my men seize him immediately. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic052 Then you die. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic053 You had your chance. Now you die. VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic054 We are preparing to move against the Dam, and Legate Lanius has a part for you to play in the battle. Report to him at his camp. VFreeformTheFortFortMelodyTopic001 [SUCCEEDED] I guess that's okay. Um, if you're a friend, can you help me? VFreeformTheFortFortMelodyTopic001 [FAILED] I'm not allowed to talk to you. Bye. VFreeformTheFortFortMelodyTopic002 Okay. Um... do you think you could help me? VFreeformTheFortFortMelodyTopic003 {giggles}They do say that! I guess you can be my friend. VFreeformTheFortFortMelodyTopic003 Um... can you help me? VFreeformTheFortFortMelodyTopic010 Um... I help take care of the Brahmin. I sometimes bring water and food to people. Um... that's it. VFreeformTheFortFortMelodyTopic011 Antony took Sergeant Teddy away and gave him to the stinky dogs. I want him back! VFreeformTheFortFortMelodyTopic012 He's a toy. I'm not a baby, you know. VFreeformTheFortFortMelodyTopic013 I kept him secret, but I think somebody told on me. VFreeformTheFortFortMelodyTopic014 Oh, okay. VFreeformTheFortFortMelodyTopic015 Thanks! VFreeformTheFortFortMelodyTopic016 Bye. VFreeformTheFortFortMelodyTopic018 That's okay, I'll fix him! Can I have him now? VFreeformTheFortFortMelodyTopic019 Thank you! VFreeformTheFortFortMelodyTopic020 But... I don't have anything. I thought you were my friend! VFreeformTheFortFortMelodyTopic021 Antony said he was punishing me for trying to hide it from the Legion. VFreeformTheFortFortMelodyTopic022 {crying}Sergeant Teddy! VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic000 A great warrior. When he was but a recruit, I watched him kill ten men in the arena with his bare hands. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic000 He doesn't feel pain and he never, ever shows mercy. If all Legionaries were like him, the Legion would be invincible. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic001 {Male PC}It's not something we like to speak of. The Burned Man was our greatest warrior, even greater than Legate Lanius, but he failed {KAI-zar}Caesar at the Dam. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic001 He's been dead for several years now, but the rumor is that {KAI-zar}Caesar has scouts out looking for him all the same. The Burned Man was a very tough man. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic001 {Female PC}Ask someone else, woman. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic009 {player said something dumb}No, imbecile, that's not how it works. I set up the fights, then you go in the arena and fight. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic010 Such as? VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic012 {Female PC}Women are beneath notice, as {KAI-zar}Caesar has taught us. I'm only allowing you to speak to me because you are {KAI-zar's}Caesar's guest. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic012 I may yet, if {KAI-zar}Caesar commands it. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic015 Go. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic016 Like what? VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic017 Light armor and machetes only. The challenger - the one who asks to enter the arena - may be pitted against one or more opponents. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic017 All matches continue until one side is dead. No exceptions. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic018 Most of the time it's some young Legionary trying to make a name for himself, hoping to get noticed by Caesar or the Praetorians. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic018 We pit slaves or prisoners against each other once in awhile, but it's not much of a show. They're usually too reluctant to kill each other. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic020 I set up the fights, keep track of prisoners available, and make sure the arena's cleaned up. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic021 {Player is a woman}Know your place, woman. Unlike the Profligates of the NCR, only {emphasis men"}men fight in the Legion." VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic021 {Player has companion}Only you may enter. Tell your companion to wait and speak to me again. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic021 That can be arranged. You will be facing off against a couple of disobedient slaves - not much of challenge, but it might be entertaining to watch. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic021 There's a captured NCR trooper available - Sergeant Andrews. He's already been challenged once and survived, so he should be a worthy opponent. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic021 I have a dangerous one for you - an NCR Ranger by the name of Stella. We got lucky, since we rarely capture Rangers alive. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic021 Even though she's a woman, she's killed every man who's faced her in the arena, even one of the elite Centurions. With her bare hands. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic021 Sorry, but there's nobody left who'd even be a challenge for you. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic022 Remember the rules: light armor and machetes only. And, of course, to the death. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic023 Good luck. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic024 Very well. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic025 All right. Did you want something else? VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic026 Careful in there - he's tougher than he looks. VFreeformTheFortFortOthoTopic028 Watch out for her - she's one of the deadliest fighters I've ever seen. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic000 Okay. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic001 What do you want to know? VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic002 Three years and counting. If I could just get across the river, I'd be free. Not that I'd try it - I've seen what happens when you get caught. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic003 All right. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic004 A small town in New Mexico. The Legion burned it a few years back - that's how I ended up here. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic005 A vengeful spirit, some of the more superstitious women claim. He was a great leader of the Legion before he failed {KAI-zar}Caesar. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic005 The story says he was set on fire and thrown into the Grand Canyon, but his angry spirit rose from the ashes of his corpse, looking for revenge. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic005 Nonsense, probably, but there's no doubt that many in the Legion believe he's still alive somehow. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic006 We're property. If you're too young or too old, the men usually leave you alone. Usually. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic006 We're property. If you're too young or too old, the men usually leave you alone. Usually. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic006 You ought to be careful, yourself. I overheard some of the Legionaries talking about trying you out."" VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic010 The Legate is not a man to be crossed, especially if you're a woman. That's all I will say about it. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic017 I never finished my training - the Legion saw to that when they overran my town. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic017 I do know basic first aid, but I've had to rely on tribal remedies to treat illnesses and injuries - healing powders and all that. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic017 I'm always running low on xander root. Plenty of broc flowers, though. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic018 For sale? I'm a slave, not a merchant. I could give you some healing powder every day, but you'd have to be a friend of the Legion. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic018 For sale? I'm a slave, not a merchant. I could give you some supplies every day, though - you are, after all, a friend of the Legion. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic019 I can only do that if you're a friend of the Legion. I don't want to get crucified. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic019 Here. Come back in a day if you need more. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic019 I can't give you any more right now. Come back in a day. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic020 [SUCCEEDED] Oh - I've been using two roots per flower. Thanks to you, I'll be able to create twice as much healing powder per day. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic020 [FAILED] I'd rather not go experimenting. Some of these wasteland plants are toxic. VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic022 What about it? Do you have some advice? VFreeformTheFortFortSiriTopic023 Was there something else? VFreeformTheFortFortVulpeIncultaTopic009 {Hated}No, I do not require the services" of a degenerate such as yourself." VFreeformTheFortFortVulpeIncultaTopic009 There is a gambler, Martina Groesbeck, who has a knack for learning other people's secrets and passing that information along for a price. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpeIncultaTopic009 The Omertas, who run Gomorrah, have become suspicious of Martina's frequent visits to their casino. Soon they'll pay her a visit of their own. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpeIncultaTopic009 As I said before, Martina Groesback is a useful, if unwitting, source of information. The Omertas want her dead, while I need her alive. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpeIncultaTopic013 Besides the gratitude of the Legion? Don't worry, you'll be paid in coin or caps. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpeIncultaTopic016 I prefer to handle these matters through intermediaries such as yourself. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic000 {Caesar alive}To call {Lah-nee-OOS}Lanius ferocious would be an understatement. In battle, he seizes the enemy in his jaws and will not let go. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic000 He thinks nothing of suffering losses, so long as the enemy suffers more. Though unsubtle, he is not dim. He detects traps, and sets his own. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic000 Be glad you will not have to face his judgment... if you are true to {KAI-zar}Caesar. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic000 {Caesar dead}{Lah-nee-OOS}Lanius served {KAI-zar}Caesar well, as his greatest battlefield commander. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic000 With {Lah-nee-OOS}Lanius at the head of the Legion, however, I doubt he'll have much use for my services. He prefers... direct methods. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic001 For now, anyway. She'll need to lay low while the Omertas are scrambling to find out what happened. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic001 They'll eventually send more men after her, but I'm sure I'll come up with a better solution to the problem by then. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic002 Excellent. Had you simply killed them, the Omertas would've sent another group after Martina eventually. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic002 You've saved me the trouble of coming up with a more permanent solution, and Martina is free to go about her business as usual. Well done. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic003 Ah, yes {you know his name}- we are forbidden from speaking his true name. He was a shaman of some kind before he met {KAI-zar}Caesar, a holy man from out of the Utah. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic003 The Burned Man proved dangerous, unpredictable, and impossible to kill. He helped {KAI-zar}Caesar form the Legion but almost led it to destruction. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic004 I see. Was it ill fortune, or is {KAI-zar's}Caesar's faith in you misplaced? Either way - it's done. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic005 {Monorail not destroyed}I know the Captain well. If you wish to be of service, go talk to him. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic005 Bear in mind that you are now responsible for guarding the secret of his true allegiance. If the NCR finds out, we'll know how that happened. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic005 {Monorail destroyed}I know the Captain well. The destruction of the NCR monorail was his doing. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic005 Of course, if the NCR were to hear of that, it would be obvious who told them. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic007 Good. Martina frequents the Vault 21 Gift Shop, on the Strip. Hurry along, and she still may be in one piece by the time you get there. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic008 If you have to. I really don't see what there is to consider. VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic015 {WAH-lay}Vale. VFreeformTheFortFortWeatherStationGuardTopic000 {KAI-zar}Caesar has put a lot of trust in you. Be worth it. VFreeformTheFortFortWeatherStationGuardTopic002 You are free to leave. VFreeformTheFortFortWeatherStationGuardTopic003 {WAH-lay}Vale. VFreeformTheFortFortWeatherStationGuardTopic004 You are free to leave. VFreeformTheFortFortWeatherStationGuardTopic005 Very well. I must confiscate your weapons. VFreeformTheFortFortWeatherStationGuardTopic006 {WAH-lay}Vale. VFreeformTheFortFortWeatherStationGuardTopic007 Speak to me when you are ready and I'll have your weapons returned. VFreeformTheFortFortWeatherStationGuardTopic008 Speak to me when you are ready and I'll have your weapons returned. VFreeformTheFortFortWeatherStationGuardTopic009 {annoyed}You waste time, then. VFreeformTheFortFortWeatherStationGuardTopic010 Done. VFreeformTheFortFortWeatherStationGuardTopic011 Very well. VFreeformTheFortvLegionaryFactionRewardNPCTopic000 {WAH-lay}Vale. VFreeformTheFortvLegionaryFactionRewardNPCTopic001 As long as you don't become an outright enemy of the Legion, payment will continue. VFreeformTheFortvLegionaryFactionRewardNPCTopic002 Stay an ally of the Legion and we will share our loot with you. If you start working against us - or become an enemy - our deal ends. VFreeformTheFortvVMQ02AlerioStripTopic000 {KAI-zar}Caesar chose not to give me that information. I was only told to find you and bring you the message. VFreeformTheFortvVMQ02AlerioStripTopic001 {offended}The mighty {KAI-zar}Caesar has bestowed upon you his Mark and guaranteed safe-conduct. If he wanted you dead, you would be dead already. VFreeformTheFortvVMQ02AlerioStripTopic002 {Strip}Seek {KAI-zar}Caesar by way of Cottonwood Cove, south of Nelson. The Cursor Lucullus will be waiting. VFreeformTheFortvVMQ02AlerioStripTopic003 I am one of {KAI-zar's}Caesar's {froo-men-TAR-ee}Frumentarii, an infiltrator, a spy. You were not difficult to track. VFreeformTheFortvVMQ02AlerioStripTopic004 Go to him, and you will understand. VFreeformTheFortvVMQ02AlerioStripTopic005 Little escapes the notice of {KAI-zar}Caesar. He has eyes everywhere. VFreeformTheFortVVulpesIncultaStripTopic000 Go to him, and you will understand. VFreeformTheFortVVulpesIncultaStripTopic001 {offended}The mighty {KAI-zar}Caesar has bestowed upon you his Mark and guaranteed safe-conduct. If he wanted you dead, you would be dead already. VFreeformTheFortVVulpesIncultaStripTopic002 Seek Caesar by way of Cottonwood Cove, south of Nelson. The Cursor Lucullus will be waiting. VFreeformTheFortVVulpesIncultaStripTopic003 I am {WUHL-pace In-CUL-tah}Vulpes Inculta, of {KAI-zar's}Caesar's Legion. I serve my master as the greatest of his {froo-men-TAR-ee}Frumentarii. VFreeformTheFortVVulpesIncultaStripTopic004 We are soldiers of a different stripe, capable in battle, but skilled as infiltrators and agents as well. VFreeformTheFortVVulpesIncultaStripTopic005 I am the greatest of his {KAI-zar's}Caesar's {froo-men-TAR-ee}Frumentarii. It was not a challenge to find you. Nor is this my first visit to the Strip. VFreeformTheFortVVulpesIncultaStripTopic006 Little escapes the notice of {KAI-zar}Caesar's Legion. We know a great deal about the Vegas Strip, and the comings and goings of those who frequent it. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic000 All right! We have an available room for you. That will be just 20 caps. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic000 A special room for a special client! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic000 For The Strip VIPs, like you, I've got just the right room - at half the price. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic000 My shop's open for you, but not my Vault. I don't need trouble-makers staying at my home, no thanks. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic000 Having you tonight is my pleasure. Your room is ready! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic001 No, silly! Of course it wasn't always a hotel. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic001 I grew up in it. I love it - my favorite place in the world! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic001 Not that I know much of the world - I never left this place, come to think of it... but it is the most special vault, ever! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic002 I have all sorts of things. Vault souvenirs, vault wares, vault machines, vault mementos and vault suits! And, well, lots of other vault things, too. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic003 Well... it is my vault, all right. I mean, yeah. That is, no. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic003 I take care of it but I suppose you could say that it belongs to Mr. House. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic004 Take a look at this. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic005 All right! What would you like to know? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic006 I see. Okay, your move. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic007 You do? That's wonderful! Let's see what you brought. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic007 All right! That's going to net you lots of caps, my friend. Do you want to trade all your vault suits right now? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic008 {Incredulous}Do you mean that he's a goner? I can have my Vault back? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic008 {Celebratory}That's just super! I thought we'd never see a different New Vegas, one that belongs to the people. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic009 Go all the way down to the Vault's main hub. Your room's in the hallway to the left. Enjoy your stay! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic009 Okay! You know where to go. See you soon! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic010 Okay! How can I help you? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic011 [SUCCEEDED] Well. Sure! You seem pretty special. But that will be our secret, okay? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic012 [FAILED] What? A crappy... rat-hole!? My vault!? You are cruisin' for a bruisin', shuckster! The price stays. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic013 Okay. See you soon! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic014 Okay! You know where to go. See you soon! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic014 Go all the way down to the Vault's main game room, take the hallway to your left and then the first room on the left-hand side. Enjoy your stay! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic015 Okay. Anything else I can do for you? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic016 Okay. Anything else I can do for you? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic017 Oh, yeah, sure! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic017 Okay - I got these great lunchboxes, they are super! What else? Oh! Look at these toasters! You like toasts, right? If they are crunchy even better! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic017 What about a vintage Vault-Tec toy car? Or- VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic018 No, silly! Of course it wasn't always a hotel. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic019 I have all sorts of things. Vault souvenirs, vault wares, vault machines, vault mementos and vault suits! And, well, lots of other vault things, too. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic020 Okay, I do, but who wants a lame sensor module, or a nitrogen canister, anyway? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic020 All the popular stuff has been sold - especially the vault suits. I need to find more because people buy them like hot cakes. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic020 Leather suits are good times! Thinking about that just blows my top! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic021 You would? You really would? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic021 That would help me, a lot! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic022 You would? You really would? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic022 That would help me, a lot! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic022 I'll pay you good money per each suit. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic024 [SUCCEEDED] Really? Well... Ha! I don't even know what to say to that! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic026 Cool it, smarty-pants! I don't have to take that shit from anybody, you know? Get out! Don't come back until you learn how to get along. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic027 Okay. Anything else I can do for you? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic028 [FAILED] Oh yeah? I bet you spend most of the time thinking lines rather than putting them to use. That vault merchandise is not on your menu! Next! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic029 Thank you so much! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic029 You are an angel. I can't wait to see you again! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic031 Thank you so much! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic033 [FAILED] Oh, don't floor it... There's a lot more to this than a classy chassis, you know? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic033 Anyway, what do you say about my proposal? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic035 If you could bring me vault suits, I would so make it worth your while... I mean, really! But it has to be good leather, okay!? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic036 Okay, I do, but who wants a lame sensor module, or a nitrogen canister, anyway? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic036 All the popular stuff has been sold - especially the vault suits. I need to find more because people buy them like hot cakes. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic036 Leather suits are good times! Thinking about that just blows my top! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic037 My vault is pure New Vegas. Everyone has a chance and lady luck smiles if you play your odds right!... Okay, it was like that before we had to leave. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic037 Vault 21 had very smart ways to help people get along. All arguments and fights got solved through gambling. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic037 I'll give you a quick tour of my home! Oh, yeah, if you like. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic037 Vault 21 had very smart ways to help people get along. All arguments and fights got solved through gambling. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic037 I'll give you a quick tour of my home! Oh, yeah, if you like. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic037 Vault 21 had very smart ways to help people get along. All arguments and fights got solved through gambling. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic038 Sure I have! I made the scene in The Strip. It is just that I really like it here - Vault 21 is a kick! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic039 [SUCCEEDED] Okay - you're right. I hate going outside. It's almost impossible for me to step out of here. Still, I love my vault. It's my pad! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic040 Okay - you're right. I hate going outside. It's almost impossible for me to step out of here. Still, I love my vault. It's my pad! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic041 [FAILED] I grew up in it. I love it - my favorite place in the world! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic042 I don't know! Maybe he didn't want anybody sneaking around down there. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic042 My vault runs deep and wide! It's filled with corridors and rooms that go far. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic042 What gives him the right to screw us with the royal shaft, anyway? So, he saved New Vegas. Wohooo! Now scram and let us go on with our lives! Sheesh! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic043 Mr. House has everything to do with Vault 21. He tried to get us out before he filled it with concrete. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic043 I almost went ape! So, we convinced him - okay, Sheldon and I, right? We convinced him to leave the top level mostly intact! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic043 Mr. House has everything to do with Vault 21. He tried to get us out before he filled it with concrete. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic044 Yeah - and you got to dig what I did with it! Looking as good as it should... almost. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic045 Righty-o, daddy-o. Let's do it! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic046 Sure! The place's packed... usually. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic046 We get loads of NCR cubes these days, a stray Brahmin baron once in a while, and recently circled couples shining big rocks on their fingers. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic047 It was bustling with activity! We all knew each other so well - you see, the vault kept us all even. It's all symmetry and windows down there. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic047 We solved any quarrels through gambling! Lady luck casts no eyeballs, you know? So, nobody shafted anyone else! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic047 Yeah... I miss those days! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic047 Yeah... I miss those days! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic049 [SUCCEEDED] Ha ha ha! Okay - why don't you help me out and in the meantime I will think about where to... take advantage of your skills. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic050 Oh, that makes me so happy! You are too much! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic051 All right! What would you like to know? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic053 I see. Okay, your move. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic054 I take care of it but I suppose you could say that it belongs to Mr. House. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic055 [SUCCEEDED] Hey, who says I can't fix that? You bring me those boom-suits too, okay? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic056 [FAILED] Do I look like a seamstress to you? Those boomsters can stay in their nowhereville until the sun runs out of gas, for all I care. No deal. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic057 [SUCCEEDED] Hey, who says I can't fix that? You bring me those boom-suits too, okay? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic058 [FAILED] Do I look like a seamstress to you? Those boomsters can stay in their nowhereville until the sun runs out of gas, for all I care. No deal. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic059 [SUCCEEDED] Hey, who says I can't fix that? You bring me those boom-suits too, okay? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic060 [FAILED] Do I look like a seamstress to you? Those boomsters can stay in their nowhereville until the sun runs out of gas, for all I care. No deal. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic062 Oh, that makes me so happy! You are too much! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic064 Wow, I wish I had more of them. All this interest. It'd be my biggest seller. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic064 I sold it to a man not too long ago. Real twitchy, nervous sort of guy. Kinda seemed like he was wiggin' out about something. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic064 Had a funny collar on. I wanted to ask him about it but I figured maybe I'd regret asking. People are weird around here. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic065 Well it was metal, and kind of thick. At first I thought he'd come from Gomorrah, but they're more into leather there. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic065 Didn't look comfortable. He kept reaching up like he was gonna itch it, but he always stopped himself. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic066 No, but I know where he was going. He asked me if I knew of any place where he could hide out for a while. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic066 Wanted somewhere with concrete walls. Something about airwaves. I forget. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic066 But I guess he spent all his money on the rangefinder, because he said it had to be somewhere free to stay. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic067 I said I didn't know about anything like that around here. But if he wanted to live for free, a lot of people do that in Freeside. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic067 I know there's a concrete building there across from Mick and Ralph's. No ceiling, but I think it still counts. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic067 Went up there one time to try and... you know... meet my neighbors in the biz. But you know, I don't think they took me very seriously. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic068 Oh he was pretty average, I'd say. Average height, average age. Dark hair. Beard of some kind. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic069 {Playful Seduction}You're kicking me into gear, huh? I think I'll drive my chassis over to your pad. Wait for me down there, and don't forget the oil. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic071 {Almost Suspicious}Carlitos, huh? Yeah, I do. Try the diner, but don't start any trouble, you hear? VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic075 {Surprised, Excitedly}Mitch!? You know mole-butt?"" VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic075 I hadn't thought about that name in a long time. I was just a child, and he had a big mole in his rear bumper. VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic075 You understand, kids and all that. Everyone knows about each other in a Vault, there's no other way. I hope mol... I mean Mitch, is doing well! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic086 Okay! You know where to go. See you soon! VFreeformTheStreet01SarahWeintraubTopic086 Go all the way down to the Vault's main game room, take the hallway to your left and then the first room on the left-hand side. Enjoy your stay! VFreeformTheStreet01VStreetSecuritronVault21Topic001 Vault 21's previous manager is no longer capable of servicing your needs. Hotel arrangement functions are now purview of Mr. House. VFreeformTheStreet01VStreetSecuritronVault21Topic002 Observe the rules, citizen. VFreeformTheStreet01VStreetSecuritronVault21Topic003 Proceed to your accomodations. Please, enjoy your stay at Vault 21. VFreeformTheStreet01VStreetSecuritronVault21Topic005 Vault 21 hopes to service your needs in the future. Goodbye. VFreeformTheStreet01VStreetSecuritronVault21Topic007 Predecessor's records indicate matching item purchased by nervous man wearing metal collar. VFreeformTheStreet01VStreetSecuritronVault21Topic007 Records indicate man requested free lodging and was directed to concrete building in Freeside. Transmitting coordinates. vFreeformTheStreet02Topic000 You can find him in the main embassy building inside the gate and to your left. vFreeformTheStreet02Topic000 Uh... I'm afraid Ambassador Crocker is no longer here. You might want to talk to the receptionist for more information. vFreeformTheStreet02Topic001 This is the NCR Embassy. {Sarcastic}Our little slice of heaven on the Strip. vFreeformTheStreet02Topic001 The main building houses administration while the other building is the MP headquarters on the Strip. vFreeformTheStreet02Topic002 The usual. Troopers getting drunk and causing problems. Like that's a surprise to anyone. vFreeformTheStreet02Topic002 Hell, I plan on getting drunk once I'm done with my shift. Maybe even head over to Gomorrah for a good time. vFreeformTheStreet02Topic002 You hear about the girls dancing in the fountain? What I wouldn't give to see that show. vFreeformTheStreet02Topic002 Not much other than the Brahmin being chased down the street. That's a little unusual even for the Strip. vFreeformTheStreet02Topic002 I heard some of the Troopers are sneaking up on the rooftops and lounging around and drinking beers instead of working. vFreeformTheStreet02Topic002 They'll be in a world of trouble if Captain Pappas catches them. vFreeformTheStreet02Topic002 Someone thought it would be fun to put graffiti up everywhere. At least I don't have to clean it up. vFreeformTheStreet02Topic002 More of the same. People gambling, getting drunk, and having a good time. vFreeformTheStreet02VMQSecuritronMessengerTopic000 Consider me your personal welcome wagon! Now hear this - the head honcho of New Vegas, Mr. House, is itching to make your acquaintance. vFreeformTheStreet02VMQSecuritronMessengerTopic000 Just head for the Lucky 38. It's the big ol' tower shaped like a roulette spinner. vFreeformTheStreet02VMQSecuritronMessengerTopic001 The place to get started is the Lucky 38. See that big ol' tower shaped like a roulette spinner? vFreeformTheStreet02VMQSecuritronMessengerTopic001 That's where you'll find Mr. House, New Vegas's head honcho. And he's itching to make your acquaintance. vFreeformTheStreet02VMQSecuritronMessengerTopic002 Sorry, rambler. I know you're fixing to serve up some vengeance, but I'm gonna have to point you to the Lucky 38 first. vFreeformTheStreet02VMQSecuritronMessengerTopic002 Mr. House, the head honcho of New Vegas, is itching to make your acquaintance. He'll help you serve that cold dish of yours extra-chilly. vFreeformTheStreet02VMQSecuritronMessengerTopic003 Sure you are, rambler. I know you're fixing to serve up some vengeance, but I'm gonna have to point you to the Lucky 38 first. vFreeformTheStreet02VMQSecuritronMessengerTopic003 Mr. House, the head honcho of New Vegas, is itching to make your acquaintance. He'll help you serve that cold dish of yours extra-chilly. vFreeformTheStreet02VMQSecuritronMessengerTopic004 Well now, it was Mr. House who made Securitrons like me. Seems the least I could do is pass on his message. Don't dawdle. He'll be waiting. vFreeformTheStreet02VMQSecuritronMessengerTopic005 Yeehaw, pardner! That's the spirit. He'll be waiting for you. vFreeformTheStreet02VMQSecuritronMessengerTopic006 Don't you dawdle, little doggie! Mr. House isn't someone you want to go about snubbing. He'll be waiting. vFreeformTheStreet02VMQSecuritronMessengerTopic007 Bad idea, pardner! That man you're chasing, he's a bad penny all right - a rattlesnake of a man. Think of Mr. House as anti-venom. vFreeformTheStreet02VMQSecuritronMessengerTopic008 Do I look destroyed, pardner? It's harder to put {Ol}old Vic in Boot Hill than you might think! vFreeformTheStreet02VMQSecuritronMessengerTopic008 I wouldn't be much use stuck inside just one Securitron! No, if the one I'm in turns up a goner, I just find another, fine as cream gravy! vFreeformTheStreet02VMQSecuritronMessengerTopic009 Allow me to introduce myself! I'm the Securitron that dug you up in the bone orchard outside Goodsprings. vFreeformTheStreet02VMQSecuritronMessengerTopic009 I thought you'd gone up the flume, but that Doc Mitchell knows his trade. It's good to see you up and around, right as a trivet! vFreeformTheStreet02VMQSecuritronMessengerTopic010 Aw shucks, pardner. I {s'pose}suppose it can't hurt to let you in on my little secret! vFreeformTheStreet02VMQSecuritronMessengerTopic010 {Ol'}Old Victor woudn't be much use stuck inside just one Securitron! No, I can move from one to another with the snap of a finger! vFreeformTheStreet02VMQSecuritronMessengerTopic010 {Purty}Pretty nice trick, ain't it? Just don't ask me how I do it, {cuz}because I don't know! vFreeformTheStreet02VMS21LizaTopic000 Ambassador Crocker can be found in his office through the door to my right at the end of the hall. vFreeformTheStreet02VMS21LizaTopic001 The Embassy offices are to your left while the barracks and living quarters are to the right. vFreeformTheStreet02VMS21LizaTopic001 If you're looking for a history lesson, I suggest you talk to Ambassador Crocker. vFreeformTheStreet02VMS21LizaTopic002 I don't have time to give my life story to everyone that passes through. Is there something I can actually help you with? vFreeformTheStreet02VMS21LizaTopic003 Ah, excellent. I received word you may be coming. We helped the receptionist over at Gomorrah with some thugs that were taking advantage of her. vFreeformTheStreet02VMS21LizaTopic003 She owes us a favor. Go talk to her, she'll be able to point you in the right direction. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetJakeErwinTopic000 Us troopers mostly come to the Strip for our R&R. We blow off some steam by gambling, drinking, partying, or fighting. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetJakeErwinTopic000 If you're looking for a good time, I'd suggest hitting up Gomorrah. The girls there are pretty nice, if you know what I mean. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetJakeErwinTopic001 What have you heard? I know people think I'm a little on the wild side, but I'm just trying to have fun, you know? vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetJakeErwinTopic001 Just because I happen to get into fights and like to pull pranks doesn't mean anything. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetJakeErwinTopic002 He's a little stiff and stuffy. Doesn't leave the office that much, always surrounds himself with papers and reports. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetJakeErwinTopic002 I've always wanted to play a prank on him, but there's no way I could ever pull that off without getting in trouble from Captain Pappas. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetJakeErwinTopic002 Sorry. I don't know much about him. We run in different circles, you know? vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetJakeErwinTopic003 She may be a bit of a hardass, but she's the best damn Captain we've had here. I'd be careful around her. You don't want to get on her bad side. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetJakeErwinTopic003 If you're digging for dirt on the Captain, you're digging in the wrong place. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetJakeErwinTopic004 Yeah, I've got a few ideas that I'm working on. Maybe I'll let you in on it once I have something. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetJakeErwinTopic005 Yeah, I know. That's why I'm not really going to do it. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic000 More of the usual. We're keeping an eye on the troopers to make sure they don't do anything stupid. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic000 The only stupid one we've had lately is Private Erwin. He's starting to cause me more trouble than he's worth. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic000 None of your business. You better keep your nose clean because I'll be watching you. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic000 People drink, gamble, and fight. What do you think happens on the Strip? Any other intelligent questions? vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic000 How the hell did a brahmin get loose on the Strip? If this is another one of Private Erwin's pranks, I'll make him regret it. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic000 I've got to deal with drunk troopers making fools of themselves and embarassing all of the NCR with their behavior, so it's just another day here. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic000 Some idiot decided it would be funny to put up graffiti all over the Strip. If I find out it was one of my men, they'll be locked up for a month. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic000 Some fool troopers think they can lounge around on the rooftops instead of doing their job. If I catch them, they'll have KP duty for a year. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic000 Some drunk girls thought it would be fun to play in the fountain in front of the Ultra-Luxe. Now I need to clean up the mess. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic001 Not much to tell. Keeping the troopers in line and monitoring the Strip keeps me busy. It's my job and I'm going to do it well. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic001 Now if that's all, I've got work to do. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic001 Look, I don't know you at all and I'm not really interested in small talk. If you have something important to say, do so quickly. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic002 Crocker isn't too bad. He mostly stays in his office now. If you have any questions about the Embassy you should ask him. He'll talk your ear off. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic002 If you want to know more about the Ambassador, go talk to him yourself. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic003 Private Erwin... he's starting to get a thick file here with all his troublemaking. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic003 My troopers are my business. Stay out of it. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic004 Murder? What kind of Murder? Do you have any proof? vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic005 Okay, this is a very serious accusation. Please be sure to bring me something concrete. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic006 Well that's something, but I can't go in there without proof of foul play. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic008 These are terrifying. Do you have any idea who the man is speaking on this tape? vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic009 Well come back here when you can. I'd like to take care of this as soon as possible. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic010 Come back here as soon as you do, I'd like to see this asshole behind bars. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMariePappasTopic011 Clanden? Okay, I'll send some troops over there to bring him in. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMPMessengerTopic000 Hey, you there! I have a message for you. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetMPMessengerTopic000 It's from Ambassador Crocker. Very important. Here you go. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetNCRMonorailGuard01Topic000 Well, there's the Lucky 38, Ultra-Luxe, Gomorrah, and The Tops. Which one do you want to know about? vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetNCRMonorailGuard01Topic001 Well, there's Vault 21 and the NCR Embassy. Both places are located on the south side of the Strip. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetNCRMonorailGuard01Topic001 Vault 21 is a small hotel and gift shop. It's not as nice as the casinos, but it's a whole hell of a lot cheaper. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetNCRMonorailGuard01Topic001 The NCR Embassy is the headquarters for the NCR on the Strip. The Ambassador and his offices are there as well as the MP headquarters. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetNCRMonorailGuard01Topic002 Well it's time to pop your Vegas cherry, friend! I'm sure you'll have a blast and be drunk and capless in no time. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetNCRMonorailGuard01Topic002 I can give you a bit more information about the various casinos if you're not sure on where to get started. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetNCRMonorailGuard01Topic003 Okay then. You should know the rules. Just stay out of trouble, and have fun. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetNCRMonorailGuard01Topic004 You're not getting started off on the right foot here. The NCR still has a strong presence here and can make your stay unpleasant. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetNCRMonorailGuard01Topic004 You better watch yourself out there. A loose cannon like yourself can sometimes run out of luck at just the wrong time. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetNCRMonorailGuard01Topic005 Don't know much about it to tell the truth. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetNCRMonorailGuard01Topic005 That's where Mr. House and his Securitrons are set up, but no one's been in there as long as people can remember. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetNCRMonorailGuard01Topic005 Probably best that you just ignore it. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetNCRMonorailGuard01Topic006 The Ultra-Luxe is the nicest casino on the Strip. Real high-end, extravagant, and expensive. Best you have a lot of caps if you want to go there. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetNCRMonorailGuard01Topic007 Gomorrah is the favorite of the NCR troops on the Strip. If you like girls, alcohol, gambling, and drugs then Gomorrah is just the place for you. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetNCRMonorailGuard01Topic008 The Tops is the cool place to be right now. Lots of entertainment and shows going on there as well as the gambling. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetNCRMonorailGuard01Topic008 If you want to catch a show and have a few drinks, you should definitely hit up the Aces Theater in The Tops. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetNCRMonorailGuard01Topic009 Ask away. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetSecuritronMessengerTopic000 Howdy, pardner! You've come a {fur}far piece, haven't you? Welcome to New Vegas! vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetStationMerchant01Topic000 Non-alcoholic beverages and snack foods. The casinos get to sell booze. No one else does. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetStationMerchant01Topic001 Take your pick. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetStationMerchant01Topic001 Of course! I've got a special discount for special people, like you. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetStationMerchant01Topic001 A friend of The Strip's a friend of mine. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetStationMerchant01Topic001 Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your business, but dealing with you carries extra costs. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetStationMerchant01Topic001 I'll sell to you, if only to get you out of sight as soon as possible. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetStationMerchant01Topic002 It's the most amazing place in the world, don't you think? This must be what it was like to live a thousand years ago! vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetStationMerchant01Topic002 There are three casinos open for business - Gomorrah, The Tops, and the Ultra-Luxe. They get nicer in that order. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetStationMerchant01Topic002 This here's the monorail station leading in from Camp McCarran. Most of my business is with soldiers coming and going on furlough. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetStationMerchant01Topic004 Come back anytime! vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetStationMerchant01Topic004 See you soon, friend! vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetStationMerchant01Topic004 Yeah, don't cause me any trouble, okay? vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetStationMerchant01Topic005 {confident}Nope, strictly independent. {having second thoughts}Well... kind of independent. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetStationMerchant01Topic005 To vend anything here on the Strip, you got to register with one of those police robots and sign a franchisee agreement. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetStationMerchant01Topic005 At the end of each day, you keep half of what you made. The rest, you hand over to those bots - and they know if you're cheating. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetStationMerchant01Topic006 Yep, he makes the rules. It's steep, but it sure beats living in North Vegas. Here on the Strip I can afford to eat, and no one tries to kill me. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetTopsPromoter01Topic000 Hadrian, the insult comic! Did I stutter vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetTopsPromoter01Topic000 See, I'm using insults to promote the act. That was my idea! vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetTopsPromoter01Topic000 One-liners! The epi-tome of comedy! Little nuggets of hilarity irresistibly bringing forth laughter! vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetTopsPromoter01Topic000 You know, like is that your face vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetTopsPromoter01Topic001 At the coolest, hippest, swinging-est joint on the Strip, that's where! The Tops, baby - don't miss it! vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetTopsPromoter01Topic003 No need to be rude, pal. Just trying to bring the joy of entertainment into your life! vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetTopsPromoter02Topic000 Way I hear it, he's some whack job who used to spend his nights sitting around a campfire and howling to himself. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetTopsPromoter02Topic000 Who wants to hear songs that make you wanna cry?" I try to tell them. But hey vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetTopsPromoter02Topic000 Do me a favor - go see the show. Otherwise they'll think I didn't do my job. vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetTopsPromoter02Topic000 A velvety-voiced cool cat fresh out of New Reno, that's who! When Bruce sings, his smokey, dulcet tones will transport you to another world! vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetTopsPromoter02Topic001 The Tops casino, my friend! If you're in the mood to knock back a few and frolic the night away, ain't no better place on Earth! vFreeformTheStreet02VStreetTopsPromoter02Topic006 Just doing my job, okay? Jeesh. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic000 This? The OSI lab. We don't get many visitors. The smell puts people off, I think. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic000 Nobody ever said science would smell clean and fresh. Anyway, you get used to it, if you give it some time. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic001 I know I don't sound the part. Get raised by brahmin ranchers, and you never lose the twang. Drives Hildern crazy. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic001 But I know every inch of the power grid from Hoover Dam to Shady Sands. That's what we do here - try to optimize the power output from the Dam. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic001 Some of the others are working on an agricultural project, but... truth be told, they aren't making much progress. Not yet, anyway. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic002 Head researcher. Mostly on the Dam project, but I help out on other things, when they need me. Got to be flexible. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic003 You mean... give you work? No, that'd be up to the administrator. Hildern. He's back there in his office. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic003 Between you and me, I don't think he ever leaves. Plenty of mercs go in to see him, though. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic004 I can't say. We're not supposed to talk about the research. Not the details. If you're interested, I'm sure he'd see you. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic005 Nice to meet you. If you need anything, I'm almost always in the lab. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic006 I shouldn�t say anything, I know that. But you�re not the first person Hildern's sent out to the vault. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic006 There were a lot of mercs. One after another. None of them came back. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic006 Then, about a week ago, there was a scientist. Keely. She's unusual, not the sort of person you'd expect, but she's an absolute genius, and... VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic006 And he didn't mention her? Not even her name? Or any of the other mercs? VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic007 Not interested. More concerned. It's just... you're not the first person he's sent to Vault 22. And I know he'd never tell you. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic008 We shouldn't even be talking about this, I know. But I think someone should tell you. You're not the first one he's sent to Vault 22. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic009 But now he's hired you. Which means one of two things. Either he heard back from Keely, and she failed, or he's given up on her. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic009 Listen. I make a fair wage, but I'm not rich, not by any means. Maybe my kind of money wouldn't appeal to your average merc. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic009 But I'm willing to pay you, if you'll find Keely and make sure she's safe. Isn't right leaving her out there, no idea if she's alive or dead. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic010 I had a good feeling about you. Moment you walked in. I mean it. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic011 No, wait! I don't mean to see any harm come to Dr. Hildern. Unless by talk" you just mean... talk." VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic012 No, I knew the danger wouldn't. I'm not trying to scare you off the job. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic013 That's all I ask. She might even be able to help you. As long as you don't speak too well of Dr. Hildern. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic014 I know it's not your business to fend for anyone but yourself. If not for her, do it for the caps. That's all I'm asking. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic015 Of course. Anything. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic016 Right. Good luck. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic017 Keely's brilliant... an absolute genius. She plays at being mean, but it's all a front. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic017 When you've lived as long as she has, you get defensive around new people. Who wants to make a friend when you know you'll outlive them? VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic018 It's foul, to tell the truth. Most people try to get what they can from the outside... even if it's just a smuggled candy bar, now and then. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic018 Contreras is a genius, he can find almost anything you'd want. Takes caps to get him motivated, though. He won't do a thing for free. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic019 The Director? He's... very well-spoken. And... knowledgeable. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic020 My father used say good things about them, but that was years ago... back when they'd teach farmers and ranchers about crop rotation and the like. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic020 Nowadays... they've changed. They're doing what they can to discredit the NCR, give us a bad name with the locals. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic020 Dr. Hildern trained with them, years ago. Not me, though. I'm an OSI girl. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic021 Head researcher. Mostly on the Dam project, but I help out on other things, when they need me. Got to be flexible. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic022 Right. Stay safe. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic023 I couldn't get her to say. But she talked about the war - the great war, when the bombs fell - like she'd been there. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic023 So I'm guessing... pretty old. Two hundred years? Maybe more. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic024 [FAILED] Wouldn't be right for me to say. He's my boss... and he took a chance, bringing me out here as lead researcher. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic025 [SUCCEEDED] He's not what you'd call... warm. Unless he wants something from you. And even then, it's kind of a cold warm. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic025 Most of the time, I focus on the science and try to forget him. He doesn't get mixed up in any actual work. Though he tells people that he does. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic026 He sure does. Everyone knows it. I've just got to endure this job until the project is finished. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic026 But abandoning Keely... he crossed a line. Taking credit for other people's work is one thing. Sending people to die in the waste is another. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic026 If Hildern tries to recruit any more mercs, I'm going to warn them. What can he do to me? I'm the only one who can run this lab. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic027 Dead? But that's... terrible. You're sure? You saw her body? With the way she looks, maybe she just seemed dead, and she really wasn't... VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic027 No... you've seen enough death to know the difference. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful. I know you tried. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic027 The notes count for something. I'll keep them safe. Keely's work in the vault won't be lost, and it won't be forgotten. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic028 Like a brahmin and a deathclaw. Though I'm not sure which would be which. Bad analogy, maybe - they're both deathclaws, in their way. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic028 Keely hates Hildern. She says he's more politician than scientist, and gets in the way of true discovery. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic028 And Hildern hates Keely because... well, because every time they meet, she makes him look like an ass. In front of important people, usually. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic029 Dead? But that's... terrible. You're sure? You saw her body? With the way she looks, maybe she just seemed dead, and she really wasn't... VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic029 No... you've seen enough death to know the difference. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful. I know you tried. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic029 Keely was brilliant... she'd seen so much. What a horrible waste... VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic030 [SUCCEEDED] She is? But she didn't call in. Keely wouldn't waste a chance to yell at Dr. Hildern. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic030 But if she's caught up in her notes... I guess she might have forgotten. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic030 Sorry. I shouldn't question your word. If you say Keely's safe, I owe you these caps. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic031 Thanks again. Really. I owe you. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic032 [FAILED] No. That can't be right. Keely would've called in. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic032 Maybe you think you helped her... I don't know. But I need to hear from Keely. Personally. VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic032 Otherwise... no reward. Not a cap. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic000 All right, all right. Just trying to make a little conversation. Shoulda known a youngin like you would be in a hurry. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic000 But that's neither here nor there. These plants have gotten completely out of control. I've got a plan to deal with them, but I'll need your help. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic001 Well that's a hell of a bit of luck on my part, then. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic002 Looks like you got sent on the same fool's errand I did, then. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic003 Good. Meet me on the second level, and I'll explain what needs to be done. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic004 So you're one of those, huh? Fine, I'll give you all the money I have once we're done. Meet me on the second level, and I'll explain more. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic005 Have it your way. When you change your mind, I'll be on the second level. Meet me there and I'll explain what needs to be done. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic006 Time is of the essence, so I'll be brief. This place is filled with spores that are toxic to humans, and we need to get rid of them. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic006 I've pumped the vault full of a highly flammable gas that, once ignited, should destroy the vast majority of the spores. There's one problem, though. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic006 The gas becomes semi-inert on exposure to oxygen, meaning the gas will have to be ignited close to where it's being introduced. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic006 I need you to find the vents where the gas is being pumped and ignite it. Oh, and survive the resulting blast. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic007 You really have a one track mind, you know that? Anyway, listen up. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic008 Of course it is. This place is under quarantine until I finish what I started. Now listen up. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic009 I don't think you understand the situation. Listen up. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic009 This place is now locked down under quarantine, so neither of us is leaving until the situation at hand is dealt with. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic010 Good. Return to me when it's done. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic011 I'd love to debate you on this, but there's no time. Now do it or don't, but stop wasting my time. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic012 I set the gas to pump into the fifth level since that's where the concentration of spores was highest. I'd start looking there. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic012 Typically, these vaults use circular vents in their air circulation systems. Look for a wall with two of them almost side by side. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic012 There's one just around the corner outside this lab if you need an example. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic013 I've managed to create a connection to the vault's backup system from here. I just have to remotely delete all the files, and we're done here. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic014 What's got you so flustered? You just about scared me to death shouting like that. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic015 Don't you realize what those files represent? If they get into the wrong hands, this could happen all over again. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic015 Only this time, the madness won't just be confined to a musty vault. Do you really want that on your conscience? I sure as hell don't. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic016 No, these people died trying to stop a monster of their own creation. Failing to complete their work would mean they died in vain. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic016 And that's what I intend to do. And... VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic017 How do you figure that? VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic018 I suppose the data here could serve as a warning to other scientists. Tell them what paths of research not to follow. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic019 All right. You convinced me. Take the files back to that buffoon. You make a good point, but I still honestly hope you know what you're doing. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic020 No, it shouldn't take all that long. Just a few more moments and... VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic020 ...it's done. We can rest easy. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic020 ...that's strange. The system says that the files were accessed recently, and copied to an external source. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic020 You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you? VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic020 I've unlocked the door so you're free to run along now. Although it pains me to say it, I wouldn't have made it out of here without your help. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic020 If you're heading back toward McCarran, tell Dr. Williams that she has my thanks as well. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic020 If you're in the neighborhood of Camp McCarran anytime soon, look for a Dr. Williams. She was one of the few people there I could tolerate. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic020 She seemed genuinely worried when I agreed to come out here, so if you could be a dear and let her know I'm okay, I'd be most grateful. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic021 Yes, that sounds like something he'd do. Well, there's nothing for it, then. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic021 Those files need to be erased. Hold out your arm and I'll have it done in a flash. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic022 So you're going to be stubborn about it, eh? You're sure I can't change your mind about this? VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic023 Then you give me no choice. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic024 Glad you're thinking clearly. I was afraid to blink there for a second. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic024 There, all done. That wasn't so bad, was it? VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic025 Indeed. This should only take a minute. Just a few more moments and... VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic026 It's possible. I have spent the last few days in a cave, after all. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic026 For all we know, that man sent someone immediately after you to swipe the data while you posed as mantis bait. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic026 Nothing to be done about it, I suppose. All we can do is delete what's here, and that's done. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic027 You're pretty highstrung for a youngster. In any case, just a few more moments and... VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic028 Well, if they had any manners they would. In my day, if an old lady went missing for a spell, people cared. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic029 Oh, they did. I've taken extensive notes of all their successful experiments. Their research won't go to waste. As for the file erasure... VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic030 Ah, she's such a dear. Not like that pompous little pedant she works for. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic031 Well in that case, leave me to my work. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic032 In the area where the gas is active, any kind of fire or explosion should do the trick. Hell, even lasers would do the job. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic032 If you don't have anything like that, I've got some grenades in my bag in the corner that you can use. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic033 Oh yes, I imagine there'll be quite an explosion when the gas gets set off. Fire will probably expand throughout the entire level in mere moments. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic034 That does pose a problem, doesn't it? VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic034 If you could seal yourself inside a room before the explosion went off, you might be protected from the blast. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic034 Then again, the flames will probably blow into the rooms down there. Maybe if there were a room that was reinforced... VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic034 Well, I'm sure you'll figure something out. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic035 Yes, there'll be an explosion when the gas is ignited. But I'm sure you'll be fine. Now leave me to my work. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic036 A few things here and there, but a lot of the data has been corrupted, and all of the live samples have been contaminated by the spore plants. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic036 One interesting thing I found is that one of the chemicals secreted by the spore plants serves as a mild stimulant when ingested by humans. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic036 As far as I can tell, it has no side effects or addictive properties, aside from the inherent psychological ones, of course. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic036 Now that I think of it, there was a Cpl. Farber back at McCarran who'd probably be interested in it. There's a sample of it around here somewhere. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic037 What? Do I have to figure everything out for you? Fine, let me think for a second. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic038 It would be pretty funny, wouldn't it? Oh, don't look at me that way. I'm sure you'll be fine. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic039 From what I've been able to determine, the scientists here managed to breed them by combining traits from two distinct plant species. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic039 The resulting hybrid proved more adaptable than expected, however, and soon became a threat to humans. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic039 It's sad, really. All those wonderful minds, undone by their own irresponsibility. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic040 That's a very good question! Actually, I didn't come up with it. The systems were already set up to pump the gas when I first arrived here. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic040 I believe the scientists were in the process of attempting to ignite the gas just as we're about to do. And by we, I mean you, of course. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic041 Something prevented them from igniting the gas, obviously. I suppose it's possible that the gas triggered some kind of defensive reaction. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic041 Hordes of previously slumbering creatures may have awoken and entered a killing frenzy, ripping the hapless scientists into quivering, bloody chunks. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic041 You'll have to let me know when you get back from going downstairs. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic042 The mantises and spore plants virtually ignored me for most of the time that I've been here. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic042 It was only once I began to investigate the fifth level that my presence began to agitate them. I guess I was a little too close to home for them. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic042 A few days ago, I was attacked by a large number of mantises and was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I was in that cave. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic042 The mantises seem to feed some of their prey to the plants. Fortunately for me, it appears the plants are disinclined to eat ghoul meat. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic043 Are you kidding me? This place is under quarantine! We can't let a single spore get out of this place if we can help it. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic044 What do you mean? VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic045 Ah, I should have known. Well, in that case... VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic046 I suppose you've given me no reason not to trust you. Fine, take the data and go. I hope you know what you're doing. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic047 Those files need to be erased. Hold out your arm and I'll have it done in a flash. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic049 To someone, I'm sure. But they constitute a threat to life as we know it. Now give me your arm already. VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic050 I suppose you've given me no reason not to trust you. Fine, take the data and go. I hope you know what you're doing. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic003 To be frank, I have no idea. I leave the fighting to Colonel Hsu, and I expect him to leave the science to me. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic003 Too many people have opinions on things they know nothing about. And the more ignorant they are, the more opinions they have. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic004 Keely. Again. Do you... do you understand what that rotting old bitch has done?! Thousands of people, mass starvation. We had a chance to avoid that. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic004 And I had a chance to prove that scientists could be more than a bunch of useless idealists. But Keely doesn't give a goddamn about that, does she? VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic004 You're an accomplice in this. Keely is one old woman - you could have easily stopped her. You're either incompetent, or you were on her side. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic004 Now get out of this office. Get out! VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic007 If you're unhappy with the terms of our agreement, then consider this an object lesson. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic007 In the future, I'm sure you'll consider your agreements and contracts more carefully. Now, here is the sum we agreed to. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic008 Best of luck to you. Not that you'll need it. You seem like a reasonably competent person... VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic009 Williams has a tendency to feel before she thinks. Not in the lab. But everywhere else. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic009 That might be forgivable if she kept her concerns to herself. But she doesn't. Not in front of her peers, not even with contractors like yourself. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic009 That kind of behavior can undermine morale. She convinced my last contractor to quit. Same way she tried with you. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic009 Probably didn't tell you that, did she? VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic010 No, I... no. The OSI hasn't been around for very long. I received my training elsewhere. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic011 Before the bombs, I might have studied at any number of colleges, universities. They gave a man a chance to advance himself... or so I've heard. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic011 But after the bombs - until a few years ago - anyone with half a brain had one choice. The Followers of the Apocalypse. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic011 Didn't matter if you agreed with them or not. You either played along or you were turned away. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic012 Knowledge for knowledge sake. A society of equals. They purport to be intelligent people, and then they spout this old-world dogma. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic013 [SUCCEEDED] Exactly right. Imagine what the Followers could have accomplished if they were properly motivated... if they had a unified purpose! VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic013 Those of us who founded the OSI... we wanted to put our knowledge to work. And we have, to some degree. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic013 But the execs at OSI Central... they're still bound to the old ideas. Society of equals, and all that. There's still too little direction. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic013 If I can make real breakthroughs here... show the President what can be done when junior researchers are kept in line... kept focused on task... VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic013 Who knows. Maybe I'll be sitting in OSI Central, in a few years time. And there'll be no more coddling of free spirits" like our friend VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic014 [FAILED] That was years ago. No point in discussing it. We have more practical concerns... and more important things to talk about. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic016 Destroyed. Really. I find that hard to believe. More likely, you failed to locate the proper server. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic017 From Alice? I'll see that she's paid right away. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic017 Crimson Caravan runs a tight operation, even out here in the waste. Wouldn't do to keep them waiting. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic017 Was there anything else? Or were you just here about the invoice? VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic017 Was there anything else? Or were you just here about the invoice? VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic018 We? We?! You were a part of this? After we made an explicit agreement, you have the fucking gall to destroy priceless scientific data? VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic018 The authorities are going to hear about this. They're going to know your name, they're going to know your goddamn face. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic019 Keely. It was Keely, wasn't it? Who else would fail to give a fuck that thousands of people are going to starve, without that data? VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic019 And for what? So Keely can wage her selfish little war against me and the OSI. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic022 From Alice? I'll see that she's paid right away. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic022 Crimson Caravan runs a tight operation, even out here in the waste. Wouldn't do to keep them waiting. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic022 Was there anything else? Or were you just here about the invoice? VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic023 Fine. I'll see that she's paid. Crimson Caravan always fulfils their contractual obligations to the letter. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic023 Now I assume there's nothing more, so I trust you can see yourself to the door. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic024 We aid some programs the Republic has sponsored involving sharecropper farms in the area, but those haven't panned out too well from what I hear. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic024 There've been complaints about the amount of water we're supplying, but those are just excuses for lack of diligence, I'm sure. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic024 We aid some programs the Republic has sponsored involving sharecropper farms in the area, which seem to be coming along nicely. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic024 There was some sort of trouble involving the water supply recently, but it sorted itself out, as these things often do. VFreeformVault22ThomasHildernTopic025 Dammit. Now you've made me forget what I was doing... VFreeformVault22V22BohrTopic000 A pleasure to meet you, sir. What may I do for you? VFreeformVault22V22BohrTopic000 A pleasure to meet you, madam. What may I do for you? VFreeformVault22V22BohrTopic001 My, how rude. If you must know, I am here to assist my master Keely in her research. VFreeformVault22V22BohrTopic002 Why yes, the master was here some time ago. Do you have business with her? VFreeformVault22V22BohrTopic003 Very well, I'll get back to computing these protein sequences, then. Farewell. VFreeformVault22V22BohrTopic004 I couldn't say, exactly. She went down to the lower levels some time ago and hasn't been back since. Do you suppose something has happened to her? VFreeformVault22V22BohrTopic007 Oh, thank you! The master can really be a bother sometimes, but she has a good heart. VFreeformVault22V22BohrTopic007 Now, I must get back to computing protein sequences. Please tell the master to hurry back if you see her. VFreeformVault22V22BohrTopic008 I have been given explicit instructions to stay here until the master returns. VFreeformVault22V22BohrTopic009 Very little, I'm afraid. I've been stuck here calculating protein sequences for most of our sojourn here thus far. VFreeformVault22V22BohrTopic009 Master Keely has done most of the exploring. She might be able to tell you more. VFreeformVault22V22BohrTopic010 I am assisting my master Keely with her research. We have been tasked with extracting as much of the research that was performed here as possible. VFSAtomicWranglerCrierShout Hungry? Thirsty? Horny? The Atomic Wrangler has you covered!

VFSFistoKiller Exterminate! VFSGamblerAsksForOrris01 So you're saying Orris isn't available? VFSGamblerAsksForOrris02 That's right. But I'm available. And I'm cheaper. VFSGamblerAsksForOrris03 But I always hire Orris! How do I know you're not trying to steal my business from him? VFSGamblerAsksForOrris04 Look, the Kings clubbed him from behind and dragged him away. I don't think missing your commission is his number one concern right now. VFSGamblerAsksForOrris05 Fine, then. I guess I'll hire you. VFSGamblerAsksForOrris06 Much obliged. VFSGloriaEndingDialog I suppose you have a few questions. VFSGloriaKillThemAll Their commander is down! Kill the rest! VFSGloriaSpeaksToLegionOfficer I trust you find everything acceptable? VFSGloriaSpeaksToLegionOfficer Everything seems to be in order. Caesar will not soon forget this. VFSGloriaSpeaksToLegionOfficer No, I imagine he won't. VFSGloriaTalksAboutVolunteer Everything. Up until recently, this man was an employee of mine. He's quite handsome, don't you think? VFSGloriaTalksAboutVolunteer I know I did. We became... close. I warned him that I was a very jealous woman, and he said he understood. VFSGloriaTalksAboutVolunteer Apparently he didn't. Last week, I chanced upon him in Gomorrah, being serviced by one of their two-cap whores. I was not pleased. VFSGloriaTalksAboutVolunteer I tell you all this because I want you to know that this man means a great deal to me. VFSGloriaWarehouseInstructions They're taking an awfully long time inspecting the weapons. I'm beginning to think they're doing it just to unnerve us. VFSGloriaWarehouseInstructions Don't let them rattle you, though. The deal's almost done. There's just one last piece of business left. VFSGloriaWarehouseInstructions Speaking of which, I need you to listen to me very carefully. Things are about to get a little crazy. When I give the signal, follow my lead, okay? VFSGrecksHello Those rat-bastard Garrets stopped offering tabs. Now where the hell am I supposed to go for free drinks? VFSGuardPacerMocksGloria Actually, I've got a better idea. Make the new hire tell her. You'll do that for me, won't you? VFSGuardPacerMocksGloria Hey, I've seen you before around our place. You've really fallen on hard times if you're working for these clowns. VFSGuardPacerMocksGloria Hey, you're the one who helped us out with those NCR chumps. You really get around, don't you? VFSHighTimesDealerDone Get lost. VFSHighTimesDealerHello Friggin' troll NCR squatters. A bunch of mouth-breathing wastes of space, if you ask me. VFSJacobHoffHello Got any chems, sir? I need a hit quick! VFSJacobHoffHello Can't talk. Much work to do at the Fort and Atomic Wrangler. VFSJeanBaptisteGreetsCass Hi, I'm Jean-Baptiste, and you're about to stop being a pain in my ass. VFSJulieFarkasHealPlayer This will help with the pain. VFSJulieFarkasKingSuiteGreeting We've actually already met. It is good to see you again. VFSJulieFarkasKingSuiteGreeting It's a pleasure to meet you. I appreciate what you've done so far in the interest of peace in Freeside. VFSJulieFarkasVoicesObjection Please bear in mind that there may be more to this situation than there seems. The reasons for these attacks are yet unknown. VFSJulieFarkasVoicesObjection It may be possible to avoid further bloodshed if you discover the cause at the root of this recent outbreak of violence. VFSKingGreetsPlayerWithLadies Ah, my little friend has come at last. Not me, darling, though you were doing just fine. VFSKingHsuOfferStart Let me guess. The NCR couldn't get me to dance to their tune so now they're asking again a little less nicely, right? VFSKingSendsPlayerAfterPacer I want you to back him up. See this through, and there'll be something good waiting for you when you get back. VFSKingSendsPlayerToNegotiate What is that fool doing? I need you to head out there and try to defuse the situation. Tell them I'm willing to cooperate. VFSKingTellsLadiesToLeave Ladies, take five. I need to talk to my friend here. VFSKingTellsPacerToAttack Pace, I want you to take some guys down there and seize half of those supplies. VFSKingTellsRexToGoWithYou Rex, this is your new master. Protect him as you would me. VFSKingTellsRexToGoWithYou Rex, this is your new master. Protect her as you would me. VFSKingThanksPacer We'll deal with that should the time come, Pace. Now I'm sure these gentlemen are as anxious to get out of here as we are to see them go. VFSKingUltimatumStart Let me guess. The NCR couldn't get me to dance to their tune so now they're asking again a little less nicely, right? VFSLadyJaneHello Excuse me, but a lady of my stature does not converse with those of low stock. VFSLegionOfficerAckbar It's a trap! Fall back! VFSMickAndRalphsCrierShout Come to Mick and Ralph's for all your shopping needs! VFSMickAndRalphsCrierShout If it can be bought, it can be found at Mick and Ralph's! VFSMickAndRalphsCrierShout We've got stuff we're not even allowed to sell, people. Only at Mick and Ralph's! VFSNCRCaptainAttacksTheKing Sounds like he's not going to cooperate, men. Open fire! VFSNCRFightKeepWeaponAway You there! Keep your hands where we can see them! Draw a weapon and we will fire! VFSNCRFightNoWeapons Put your weapon away or we will fire! VFSOrrisAfterCombat Nothing to worry about. If you had hired one of those other hacks, you'd be up to your ass in lowlife right about now. VFSOrrisChats01 To your left here is the Old Mormon Fort. You get roughed up, the Followers there will patch you right up. Not that I ever need their services. VFSOrrisChats02 Up ahead on the next block is where the Kings hang out. Don't let them scare you, if they don't outnumber you five to one you'll be fine. VFSOrrisChats03 Down to the right here is the fun part of town. You haven't seen Freeside till you've been to the Wrangler. VFSOrrisCursesPlayer It's regrettable, but it looks like I'm about to lose another customer. VFSOrrisCursesThug You idiot! What part of play dead" do you not understand?" VFSOrrisEnd01 Well, here we are. No worse for wear, are you? I trust that if you need to cross Freeside again, you'll know who to hire. VFSOrrisEnd01 Well, here we are. I trust you'll keep your mouth shut about the topic we were just discussing, or else. VFSOrrisFinalStretch That was rather invigorating, wasn't it? Let's keep moving, it's only a little further to the gate. VFSOrrisIveGotThis Gotcha! Thought you could ambush us, huh? VFSOrrisLeaves Just so you know, heading out here breaks our contract. This is why I ask people to pay up front. See you around. VFSOrrisLeaves You don't follow orders very well, do you? Oh well, more money for me. VFSOrrisLeaveThemToMe Leave them to me! VFSOrrisMistaken Hmmm, I guess they were harmless after all. I'm not often mistaken, you know. VFSOrrisSecondRun So tell me, did you really think I'd be stupid enough to fall for this again? One of my men saw you go in and out of the Kings' place. VFSOrrisSecondRun As much as I hate to lose a customer, it's just unavoidable sometimes. VFSOrrisThisWay I'll scout ahead. You follow at a distance. VFSOrrisWarning01 Hey, slow down. I don't like the look of some of those men ahead. Let's take a different way around. VFSPacerAgreesToAttack I've got a few guys already waiting to go. VFSPacerBetrays And you. Bringing these assholes in here like you're doing us some kind of favor. VFSPacerBetrays You can take your new friends and get the hell out of here, because the answer is no. The Kings will never deal with trash from the NCR. VFSPacerGreetsSimon Hey, Simon. How's it hanging? Looks like you've got a little helper today. VFSPacerGreetsSimon {Tiny bit of distaste here, he doesn't like Pacer}What can I say? Business has been good lately. We can afford the help. VFSPacerGreetsSimon Good to hear, buddy. So is the boss lady in? VFSPacerGreetsSimon {mood gets darker, Simon doesn't like Pacer talking about Gloria}You know she is. {This is a threat, Pacer's dead if he goes inside}Why don't you go in and say hi? VFSPacerGreetsSimon Nah, I've got some rounds to run. But do pass along that I'm always thinking of her. VFSPacerSpeaksUp I can't believe what I'm hearing. You're actually going to make a deal with these guys? VFSPacerSpeaksUp Pace, this is an opportunity we can't pass up. They're finally recognizing us. This is what we've been fighting for. VFSPacerSpeaksUp Like hell it is. This goes against everything we stand for. Everything {stressed}you supposedly stand for. VFSPacerSpeaksUp I'm not going to listen to them just because they throw a few crumbs my way, and a lot of the guys feel the same way. VFSRexReplies

VFSVanGraffIntro01 Ms. Van Graff, my associates and I have decided that we wish to renegotiate the terms of our deal. VFSVanGraffIntro01 Might I ask for what reason? The shipment was delivered. The guns were tested before leaving this facility. VFSVanGraffIntro01 Regardless, we feel that the quality of the weapons is below expectation, and hoped to adjust the price accordingly. VFSVanGraffIntro01 Ah, I think I understand what the issue here is. Excuse me for a moment, would you? VFSVanGraffIntro02 Jean-Baptiste, could you bring out the volunteer? VFSVanGraffIntro03 W-What is this, Ms. Van Graff? VFSVanGraffIntro03 This is a lesson, Mr. Soren. A lesson in faith. VFSVanGraffIntro03 I don't understand. Who is this man?

VHDAssassinationDialogTopic000 The President is visiting today. Ranger Grant doesn't want anyone snooping around up there that doesn't have authorization. VHDAssassinationDialogTopic001 Only NCR engineers or people with explicit permission from Ranger Grant are allowed roof access. VHDAssassinationDialogTopic001 If you have to ask, you're not authorized. VHDAssassinationDialogTopic002 Sorry, no can do. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic000 A bomb on the President's vertibird? Only a limited number of people had access to the vertibird. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic000 We have to get the President out of here now. I'll cancel the speech and have security search the area. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic000 We can't relax until we get the President out of here safely. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic001 Damnit! I can't believe the Legion actually got someone past our security. Good job catching him. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic001 I'll have a security team sweep the area to see if the Legion has any more surprises for us. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic001 I'm also canceling the President's speech. We'll have a security team get him out of here right away. But let's not relax until he's safe. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic002 What the hell? This must control some sort of bomb that he was going to use to kill the President. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic002 Nice work catching this. I'll have my Rangers go deal with this man right away. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic003 I've heard of you. I'm glad you're here to help us out. This is a delicate matter and we need all the help we can get from people we can trust. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic003 We've got a lot to do to prepare for the President's visit and not much time. Once we start we'll be on a strict timetable. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic003 So you're the one Mr. House sent. His Securitron here informed me of what's going on. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic003 Since Mr. House has helped me in the past, I'll let you help us during the President's visit. However, I will be keeping an eye on you. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic003 We've got a lot to do to prepare for the President's visit and not much time. Once we start we'll be on a strict timetable. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic003 So you're the one Colonel Moore sent to help out with the President's visit. Well, I'm running security for the visit, which means I'm in charge. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic003 If anything goes down, you tell me first, you got that? VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic003 We've got a lot to do to prepare for the President's visit and not much time. Once we start we'll be on a strict timetable. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic003 Are you ready? VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic005 {Radio}Quit goofing off and clear the channel. I'll be damned if the President dies on my watch because you were screwing around. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic006 Good. The President doesn't arrive until tomorrow. Get some rest, I'll brief you in the morning. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic007 Looks like that's his vertibird coming right now. It's show time, let's not mess this up. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic007 Now if you'll excuse me I've got some security procedures to oversee. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic008 Make it quick. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic009 Ask your questions, but keep it short. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic010 Glad you could join us. Most of my men are already on duty and the crowd has already started gathering outside. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic010 We've got a busy day ahead of us. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic011 We trust you, so you're free to have your weapons. Just don't do anything too crazy and we'll back you up. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic011 You'll be allowed to carry your weapons, but they must remain holstered. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic011 If you pull them out, my men will shoot you. Understand? VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic012 Well, hurry it up. We don't have much time. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic015 Security detail consists of rangers stationed here at the dam. Some will keep an eye on the crowd while others will watch the perimeter. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic015 Snipers and sharpshooters have been assigned to key locations and we also have a special K9 unit sniffing out members of the crowd. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic015 I've also locked down access to critical locations such as the landing platform on the visitor center. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic016 I have a full itinerary here. Here you go. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic016 The President arrives, gives a speech, and then leaves. That's all someone like you needs to know. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic017 The Legion will definitely try something, but we don't have any solid leads yet. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic017 I'd almost expect something direct from them, but given the circumstances there's a possibility of something more subtle like sabotage. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic017 But since we don't have anything solid we'll just have to keep our eyes out for anything out of the ordinary. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic017 {Thinking aloud}Possible security threats... there was a new guy allowed to help with security at the last minute. {Awkward pause}Other than that, we don't have any solid leads. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic018 Someone like you... I'm just glad to have you on board. Do whatever you can. Security sweeps, talk to people, keep an eye out. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic018 Keep an eye on the crowd and keep an eye out for anything suspicious. Other than that, just stay out of the way. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic019 The plan is to get through today without the shit hitting the fan. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic019 So I'll be overseeing the security team personally and keeping in constant contact with people over the radio. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic019 It's a good bet that the Legion is going to try something today so we have to be prepared for anything. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic019 We'll do whatever it takes to get the President through this visit in one piece. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic020 President Kimball is arriving shortly. If you want to do any last minute security sweeps or take a look around for anything suspicious, do it now. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic020 Once you're ready, meet me outside on the observation deck, but don't take too long. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic021 Good. The President doesn't arrive until tomorrow. Let's get some rest and we'll have a brief talk first thing in the morning. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic022 If there's nothing else, then let's get moving. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic023 Alright, I'll give you full access. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic024 Not a chance. Only the necessary personnel have authorization. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic025 {Sarcastic}Well I'm glad I have your approval. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCaptainGrahamTopic026 If there's nothing else, then let's get moving. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic001 Good timing. Looks like his Vertibird is arriving early. Here it comes now. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic001 I hope you're up for this, because we won't get a second chance. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic002 Well I have a bomb here that can be put on the vertibird that will detonate at a certain altitude, but it's a little unstable and dangerous. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic003 So you're the bigshot that Caesar put in charge of this mission. I've heard about you. You've got quite the reputation already. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic003 Well let's get down to business. Once we get started, we're going to be on a tight schedule. Are you ready to do this? VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic003 So you're the bigshot that Caesar put in charge of this mission. Can't say I'm impressed, but let's just get down to business. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic003 Once we get started, we're going to be on a tight schedule. Are you ready to do this? VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic004 Right, straight to business. Good. No wonder Caesar sent you. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic004 Once we get started, we're going to be on a tight schedule. Are you ready to do this? VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic005 Good. Kimball is scheduled to give his speech tomorrow. We'll rest here tonight and talk the plan over first thing in the morning. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic005 Get some sleep. You got a big day ahead of you. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic006 Good. Now Kimball is scheduled to give his speech tomorrow. We'll rest here tonight and talk over the plan first thing in the morning. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic006 Get some sleep. You got a big day ahead of you. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic007 Well hurry it up and get your shit together. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic008 Prepared already. I like it. There's no need to give me the details, it's probably best that way. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic008 Even though you already have a plan, I may have some information that you might find useful. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic009 You better start thinking about it soon, we're on a limited time schedule. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic009 I do have some information that could help you. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic010 True, but I don't think it'll be that easy. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic010 Going in guns blazing with all the NCR Troopers and Rangers stationed at the dam will just get you killed. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic010 I do have some information that you might find useful, if you're interested. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic011 Fine, be like that. I'm just here to give you whatever information I can to help you get the job done. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic011 If you don't need my help, that's fine with me. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic012 I've been spying in the dam for a while now. I've gathered quite a bit of information from various sources. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic013 You're the boss. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic013 I'll be in the crowd. Do whatever you need to do, then find me before Kimball arrives. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic013 Here's your disguise. This'll get you past most of the NCR there, but watch out for the rangers. Odds are this won't fool them. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic013 I'll meet you there. Good luck. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic014 Suggestions, eh? I'd suggest you play to your strengths. There's probably plenty of ways to kill Kimball, just find one that works best for you. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic014 We'll have a few hours before he arrives. You should look around and see if you can find anything that you can use. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic014 Just be careful. You don't want to cause a scene before Kimball even shows up. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic015 I've been able to get some basic information on the schedule for Kimball's visit as well as getting some rough security details. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic016 I have some disguises for us. I've already got mine. A wealthy Brahmin Baron who bribed his way into seeing the President. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic016 As for you, I have a NCR trooper uniform that I acquired. It'll fool most of the troopers and civilians, but it probably won't fool the rangers. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic017 Well, I have a bomb here that can be put on the vertibird that will detonate at a certain altitude, but it's a little unstable and dangerous. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic018 If there's nothing else, then we should get moving. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic019 The President is scheduled to arrive sometime in the afternoon. It's going to be a short visit to boost morale for the NCR troops. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic019 He's going to arrive, give a speech, and then leave. No meet and greet, no questions, just a quick in and out. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic019 They're probably afraid something is going to happen. For good reason. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic019 I wasn't able to find a final itinerary for his visit, but if you can find one, you can get more details on what's going to happen. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic020 Security is going to be tight. Rangers are stationed all around the observation deck where Kimball is going to give his speech. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic020 Security is led by a Ranger Grant. He's a pretty rough guy who's seen a lot of combat. It's best if you steer clear of him. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic020 The crowd consists of troopers and a few select civilians who were lucky enough to bribe their way in. They shouldn't cause much trouble for you. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic020 Finally, there's the additional security that Kimball will be bringing with him. I wasn't able to find out much on that. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic020 If I had more time in their computers I could've accessed the full duty roster and guard deployment. Maybe you'll have better luck. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic021 Okay, what would you like to know? VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic023 Here you go. Put it to good use. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic024 Harder than you think. I don't want you blowing us both up, so I'll just hold on to this. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic025 Suit yourself. What else do you want to know? VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic027 Here you go. Put it to good use. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic028 Harder than you think. I don't want you blowing this, so I'll just hold on to this. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopic029 Suit yourself. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopicMorning Rise and shine. You have a big day ahead of you. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDCatoHostiliusTopicMorning So, do you have a plan for how you're going to kill Kimball? VHDAssassinationDialogVHDEngineerValentineTopic000 Okay, well... I guess I'll just keep waiting. Sorry to bother you. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDEngineerValentineTopic001 He isn't. I already checked there this morning. We were supposed to meet up here about an hour ago. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDEngineerValentineTopic001 I guess I'll just keep waiting. Sorry to bother you. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDEngineerValentineTopic002 Why would you say something like that? That's just mean. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDEngineerValentineTopic002 Just leave me alone. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDKimballK9Ranger01Topic000 Thanks. We haven't been paired together long, but he's a smart dog. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDKimballK9Ranger01Topic001 Nope. Haven't noticed anything strange at all. Neither has my friend here, and he has a good nose for these things. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDKimballK9Ranger01Topic001 Not since the last time you asked, no. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDKimballK9Ranger01Topic002 I don't think so. You already have a dog right there. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDKimballK9Ranger01Topic002 I don't know about that... VHDAssassinationDialogVHDKimballK9Ranger01Topic003 I brush it every day. One hundred brushes. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDKimballK9Ranger01Topic004 Okay. Take good care of him and bring him back when you're done. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDKimballK9Ranger01Topic005 You know what? I think it's best if he stays with me. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDKimballK9Ranger01Topic006 Okay. Anything else? VHDAssassinationDialogVHDKimballK9Ranger01Topic007 Make it quick. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDKimballK9Ranger01Topic008 No problem. Glad I could help out. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDKimballRoofGuardTopic000 Okay, just this once. Make it quick though, I don't want to get in trouble for this. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDKimballRoofGuardTopic001 Not a chance. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDKimballRoofGuardTopic002 Yeah, but those are the rules. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinBomberTopic001 I'm not sure what you mean. I think you have me confused with someone else. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinBomberTopic002 Well that's too bad. I'm just here to enjoy the show so if you don't mind... VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinBomberTopic003 Then leave me alone. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinBomberTopic005 What the... how'd you... VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinBomberTopic005 {Yelling} For the Legion! VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinBomberTopic006 {Pause}You will regret this. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinBomberTopic006 Die, Profligate! VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinBomberTopic007 Sorry, that just ain't gonna happen. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinBomberTopic007 For {KAI-zar}Caesar! VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinBomberTopic008 Yeah, thought so. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinBomberTopic009 I don't have time for this. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinBomberTopic009 Death to the Legion's enemies! VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinBomberTopic010 Bad idea. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinBomberTopic010 Die, infidel! VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinSniperTopic000 {feigning surprise}Oh shit... really? We should go take a look! VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinSniperTopic001 Settle down. No one uses the radio until I know what's going on. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinSniperTopic002 Okay, lead the way! VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinSniperTopic003 We're just going to be a moment. We should both take a look first. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinSniperTopic004 Uh... I think I should check it out first before radioing it in. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinSniperTopic005 It's your own fault for finding this - now I'm going to have to kill you. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDLegionAssassinSniperTopic007 Fuck it, you're more trouble than you're worth. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDPrivateWatsonFirstTalk Have you seen my helmet? I can't seem to find it. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDPrivateWatsonTopic000 {confused}It's always in the last place you look. I wonder why that is. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDPrivateWatsonTopic000 Thanks mister, you're the greatest. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDPrivateWatsonTopic000 {confused}It's always in the last place you look. I wonder why that is. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDPrivateWatsonTopic000 There it is! Thanks lady, you're the greatest. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDPrivateWatsonTopic001 He's coming to give a big fancy speech to all of us troops stationed here at the dam. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDPrivateWatsonTopic001 I'm pretty excited. He seems like such a nice guy and I get to meet him. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDPrivateWatsonTopic001 He's giving me a medal. I don't know why though. I'm just doing my job like all the other guys. I'm still excited though. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDPrivateWatsonTopic001 I can't believe someone killed President Kimball. He was such a nice guy, why would anyone want to hurt him? VHDAssassinationDialogVHDPrivateWatsonTopic001 I can't believe someone wanted to kill President Kimball. I'm glad he got out of here safe. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDPrivateWatsonTopic002 Momma always told me not to talk to strangers, but you seem like a nice person. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDPrivateWatsonTopic002 Momma left me on a farm when she went out prospecting, but when she never came back, the owner didn't want me around and kicked me out on my own. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDPrivateWatsonTopic002 A nice guy came up and asked me if I wanted to join the NCR so I did. Now the Troopers are my family. I like it here. Everyone is so nice. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDPrivateWatsonTopic008 That's too bad. I need it for the ceremony. I need to look my best and I need my lucky helmet. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDPrivateWatsonTopic008 I'll just have to keep looking. Thanks anyway. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDPrivateWatsonTopic009 Ha ha, you big joker you. You're funny. I like you. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDPrivateWatsonTopic009 I really need to find my helmet though. Thanks anyway. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic000 Sure thing. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic000 Unfortunately for you, I'm not authorized to trade with you. It's against regulations. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic001 I guess I can spare a minute or two for you. Things are a little slow at the moment anyway. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic001 Me? I've been in the military my entire life. It's a family sort of thing. My father served, my brothers serve, and I serve. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic001 I've had the honor of serving all over the NCR and now I get to be out on the front lines as the NCR comes out east to help these folks here. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic001 Once we get rid of the Legion, this will be a better place for everyone, and I'm proud to be a part of that. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic001 I'm on duty here. I don't have time to chit-chat. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic002 I guess I can trust you. What would you like to know? VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic002 Sure, what would you like to know? VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic002 I'm not required to answer questions from a civilian and I don't trust you enough. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic002 Go bug someone else with your questions. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic003 Well, that is great and all, but it's really against regulations. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic003 I'm not here to make money, I'm here to watch the NCR supplies for the dam and that means no supplies for you. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic004 I guess I can make an exception, just for you. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic004 It's still against regulations, I can't help you. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic005 Make it quick. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic006 The NCR is out here to make the world a better place. For those out here and for all those back home. I'm glad I can be a part of that. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic007 They're a bunch of evil savages if you ask me. We're out here trying to save these good people from being enslaved by those bastards. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic007 I hope we kill 'em all. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic008 Well, the dam here is the key to helping the NCR make the world a better place. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic008 With the power from the dam we can help the people here and back home have a better quality of life. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic008 We can't trust the Legion or Mr. House to do the same. The NCR is the only one looking out for the people. And we need the dam to do that. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic008 And I pity the people that try to take it from us. VHDAssassinationDialogVHDQuartermasterBardonTopic009 Sorry about that, friend. VHDAssassinationDialogVMQ03aAssassinationRadioTopic000 {Radio}Damnit! I can't believe the Legion actually got someone past our security. Good job catching him. VHDAssassinationDialogVMQ03aAssassinationRadioTopic000 I'll have a security team sweep the area to see if the Legion has any more surprises for us. VHDAssassinationDialogVMQ03aAssassinationRadioTopic000 I'm also canceling the President's speech. We'll have a security team get him out of here right away. But let's not relax until he's safe. VHDAssassinationDialogVMQ03aAssassinationRadioTopic001 {Radio}Then stay off the line and get back to work! VHDAssassinationRoofWarning1 Only engineers and authorized personnel are allowed upstairs.

VHDIntakeTowerCenturionBarks I will personally gut the first man to slow down! VHDIntakeTowerCenturionBarks Leave none alive! VHDIntakeTowerCenturionThanks Thank Mars. The assault can resume. VHDIntakeTowerCenturionWarning The only thing down there is a swim of several hundred feet against the current. You'd drown for sure. vHDJudahKregerGreeting We are here as promised. Now let's kick some ass. VHDKimballSpeech01 Thank you, Colonel Moore. And thank you, my fellow Californians, who have come so far to answer the call to service put forth by the republic. VHDKimballSpeech01 It is for you that I have come here, and it is because of you that I am able to do so. VHDKimballSpeech01 We enjoy our privileges because you take the greatest of risks and are prepared to make the most noble of sacrifices. VHDKimballSpeech01 It is because of men and women like Private First Class Jeremy Watson that Nevada and the New California Republic remain free and secure. VHDKimballSpeech01 Born in a tin shack on the outskirts of One Pine, Jeremy Watson never had it easy. VHDKimballSpeech01 His father worked as a caravan guard on the Short Loop, and his mother, like many Californians, braved the ruins of the Old World as a prospector. VHDKimballSpeech01 They suffered through water shortages, raider attacks, and the Brotherhood War. Like our mighty Sierra Nevadas, they endured. VHDKimballSpeech01 But the time came when they could no longer shoulder the burden alone. VHDKimballSpeech01 Twelve years ago, they called out for help, and the republic heard them. Troopers and rangers, just like you, answered the clarion call. VHDKimballSpeech01 Men and women stepped forward to say, I will carry the weight."" VHDKimballSpeech01 And at Owen's Lake, we made true on our promise, driving out the raider tribes to establish a lasting peace in the eastern Sierra Nevadas. VHDKimballSpeech01 We carried the weight, and though we left behind many of our brothers and sisters on that battlefield, it did not break us. VHDKimballSpeech01 Ten years ago, Chief Elise met with representatives of the Desert Rangers to discuss terms of what would become the Ranger Unification Treaty. VHDKimballSpeech01 The treaty was more than a resolution to welcome the Desert Rangers into the republic. VHDKimballSpeech01 It was a covenant to protect southern Nevada against Caesar's Legion and the tyranny of his regime. VHDKimballSpeech01 There are some back home who ask me, But who are we protecting? What is Nevada to us?"" VHDKimballSpeech01 Sometimes we forget that the light of our society shines beyond our borders. VHDKimballSpeech01 Sometimes we take those privileges for granted that our forebears fought so hard to achieve. VHDKimballSpeech01 We must always remember that wherever Californians stand, we carry our principles with us: VHDKimballSpeech01 equal respect, representation, and protection under the laws of a just republic. VHDKimballSpeech01 This was the same fire that burned in the heart of the Old World that preceded us. VHDKimballSpeech01 We are the heirs of that civilization, torchbearers eastward of the Pacific, into the darkness of this wasted land. VHDKimballSpeech01 When the republic called on the men and women of California to carry that fire across the Mojave, Jeremy Watson answered. You answered. VHDKimballSpeech01 Together, you carried the weight. And when PFC Watson's platoon came under attack at Forlorn Hope, he took the greatest risk, VHDKimballSpeech01 not only for his fellow Californians, but for California itself. VHDKimballSpeech01 He was prepared to make the most noble of sacrifices, to defend the principles of our republic, even here, on Nevada soil. VHDKimballSpeech01 His actions are a beacon to all of us who stand here today in tribute to his valor. VHDKimballSpeech01 Private First Class Jeremy Watson, on behalf of the senate and people of the New California Republic, VHDKimballSpeech01 it is my honor to present you with the Star of Sierra Madre. VHDKimballSpeech01 Not far from this spot, a monument stands as a tribute to the sacrifice made by those who came before us, VHDKimballSpeech01 the men and women who fulfilled the promise we made to the Desert Rangers. VHDKimballSpeech01 Its back is inscribed with the names of the troopers and rangers who carried the weight. VHDKimballSpeech01 And because they made the most noble of sacrifices, it did not break us. VHDKimballSpeech01 Four years ago, we held this dam. Four years ago, we carried the weight. VHDKimballSpeech01 Four years ago, we drew a line through the Mojave as clear as the Colorado River, a line that Caesar cannot cross. VHDKimballSpeech01 Today, you stand here with our brothers and sisters to hold that line. Today, you honor all Californians by carrying that weight. VHDKimballSpeech01 Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevadas, defiant and enduring. VHDKimballSpeech01 You are the great western light of California, torchbearers in the darkness, living reminders of all that is best in our republic. VHDKimballSpeech01 Thank you. Thank you. VHDKimballSpeech01 Okay, let's get the fuck out of here. What the hell are you waiting for? You think I want to get shot? Let's go! VHDKimballSpeech02 Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to thank you for coming out here today for this very special occasion. VHDKimballSpeech02 It is my pleasure to introduce to you. The President of the New California Republic, Aaron Kimball! VHDLegateCongratulatesYou This slaughter pleases me. No act is more sacred than consecrating a site in the blood of one's enemies. VHDLegateCongratulatesYou The rest of the dam is fully under our control. A few pitiful holdouts remain, but their time is short. The general was the last source of concern. VHDLegateCongratulatesYou With their commander dead, the NCR will pull out of this region, allowing our conquest to continue westward unopposed for a time. VHDLegateCongratulatesYou Judging by the lack of blood, I take it the coward Oliver fled rather than face me. No matter. VHDLegateCongratulatesYou The rest of the dam is fully under our control. A few pitiful holdouts remain, but their time is short. The general was the last source of concern. VHDLegateCongratulatesYou With their commander gone, the NCR will pull out of this region, allowing our conquest to continue westward unopposed for a time. VHDLegateCongratulatesYou The Legion will swell with the number of slaves we will claim from this place, and the tribute we gather will fund further campaigns. VHDLegateCongratulatesYou Perhaps, in time, I will be granted the honor of conquering the land known as California. But for now, we rest. VHDLegateCongratulatesYou Know that your efforts are appreciated and will not go unrewarded. But we can speak of that later. VHDLegateCongratulatesYou For now, come, we must see to the burning of the dead. VHDLegateGivesThanks Blah. VHDLegateGreetsPlayer Finally, Mars has accepted my sacrifices and unleashes me. VHDLegateGuardAnnouncesArrival Legatus, a stranger arrives. One who bears the Mark. VHDLegionBattleVHDIntakeTowerCenturionTopic000 My men await in the tunnel below. I am to divide them between the dam top and the tunnels that lead to the western power plant. VHDLegionBattleVHDIntakeTowerCenturionTopic001 The fighting in the power plant is the fiercest, as expected. But the dogs have been caught off guard, and their positions can expect no support. VHDLegionBattleVHDIntakeTowerCenturionTopic001 However, the pipes below have been sealed, cutting off our men until the dam top can be secured. VHDLegionBattleVHDIntakeTowerCenturionTopic001 I've been diverting half of my men to the tower next to this one. It's a bit of a swim, but the enemy hasn't sealed those pipes yet. VHDLegionBattleVHDIntakeTowerCenturionTopic001 Some of the other centuriae are more stubborn in following their orders exactly, though, and wait in the pipes below. VHDLegionBattleVHDIntakeTowerCenturionTopic001 If you should make it down there, unsealing the pipes again will allow us to spill over the enemy like a tide of blood. VHDLegionBattleVHDIntakeTowerCenturionTopic002 More than a few, if I have my way. VHDLegionBattleVHDIntakeTowerCenturionTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] Your words have merit... Very well. I shall tell my men to concentrate their efforts here. VHDLegionBattleVHDIntakeTowerCenturionTopic003 [FAILED] I have my orders, and they explicitly state that I am to divide my men. VHDLegionBattleVHDIntakeTowerCenturionTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] Agreed. If we take the power plant, this battle is over. I'll have my men focus their efforts there. May the Son of Mars go with you. VHDLegionBattleVHDIntakeTowerCenturionTopic004 [FAILED] Forgive my appraisal of your prowess, but all the same I'd rather send some of my men with you to help secure the dam top. VHDLegionBattleVHDLegionCheckpointDecanusTopic000 And yet you managed to slip past. Impressive. You may not find the fighting to the west quite so easy to get around, however. VHDLegionBattleVHDLegionCheckpointDecanusTopic001 Good news, indeed. If only the same could be said for the west. VHDLegionBattleVHDLegionCheckpointDecanusTopic001 The enemy is much more fortified ahead, and have snipers set up at key positions, which keep our men pinned down. VHDLegionBattleVHDLegionCheckpointDecanusTopic001 In addition, they've managed to beat back our men emerging from the intake tower ahead and secure it. VHDLegionBattleVHDLegionCheckpointDecanusTopic001 If we could just get rid of those damn snipers, or release our waiting men in the intake tower, we'd have the manpower to storm their positions. VHDLegionBattleVHDLegionCheckpointDecanusTopic002 My contubernium came up through one of the intake towers ahead and headed east, taking the NCR fools unawares from behind. VHDLegionBattleVHDLegionCheckpointDecanusTopic002 Their confusion allowed us to slaughter them like brahmin calves. Unfortunately, my brothers heading west did not fare as well. VHDLegionBattleVHDLegionCheckpointDecanusTopic003 Any assistance you can provide is welcome, and will mean more of our men to carve through the foe by your side. VHDLegionBattleVHDLegionCheckpointDecanusTopic004 Then I wish you luck, and good hunting. VHDLegionBattleVHDLegionCheckpointDecanusTopic005 Ha ha, Mars favors the bold, does he not? VHDMikeLawsonWarningTopic Good gracious! The Legion is using the intake tunnels to storm their way into the dam, someone has to stop them. vHDOliverConversationContinue Okay, listen here. Unless we can get some additional support, I'm going to need you to help me resolve this situation. vHDOliverConversationContinue You need to make your way to this camp they have on the eastern bank and take out the Legate. That should hamstring this attack. vHDOliverEmergency1 Sir! I don't know what happened, a bunch of Legionnaires just stormed into the power station. vHDOliverEmergency2 Into the power station?{Dumbfounded} How is that possible? vHDOliverEmergency3 I{stutters} don't know sir. There was some talk of them entering through the clogged intake tunnels, but I don't have any confirmation. vHDOliverEmergency4 On my way up here there was some chatter about their commander, the Legate I think he's called, set up at some kind of base on the eastern bank. VHDOliverLegionFightStarter So, you must be the Courier the reports mentioned. Pass this message on to your commander - Hoover Dam will not fall while I still draw breath. vHDPowerArmor This is unacceptable, we demand the immediate return of our power armor. vHDPowerArmor A battle is about to be fought out there, to come here requesting our men to give up their armor is insane. vHDPowerArmor It is not your armor, that power armor is property of the Brotherhood of Steel and you have no right to claim it as your own. vHDPowerArmor2 You know what? I don't need this bullshit right now. We'll take off that goddamn power armor, if it'll just shut you up. VHSecuritronHouse Ah, General Oliver. I expected you would survive. VHSecuritronHouse I see you've met my star employee. {Beat, pleased}A real performer, obviously - and a lot more {emphasis}reliable than the other candidate I considered for the position. VHSecuritronHouse I'd pay very close attention to what she has to say, as well as any official papers she hands over for your perusal. VHSecuritronHouse I'd pay very close attention to what he has to say, as well as any official papers he hands over for your perusal. VHSecuritronHouse {eager to enjoy triumph}Let's get on with it, shall we? Hmm? VikkiVanceCasinoManagerTopic {Small Fry}Wow, this is our first hot streak since we opened this place back up!

Cat meat, rat meat, dog meat - maybe even *you* meat! vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic004 If there were any survivors, they're going to be in the Town Hall. If you can get inside, let me know if you find anyone. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic005 I think there's trouble in Nipton - no traffic from there on the roads, and while I can explain that away, the smoke from the town I can't. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic005 I'm sure it's been hit - what I need to know is if they survived it. Might be Powder Gangers with all that smoke in the air. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic005 If there's anybody left, they'd be in the Nipton Town Hall. Go there, check it out, let me know what you find. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic006 {Mocking, but not to the player}The pay? The pay is a good goddamn thanks from the heart of the Republic! vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic006 {Scoffs}Just shitting you with the NCR line, done wonders for morale around here. President Kimball keeps saying getting shot at is its own damn reward. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic006 Do this job for me, though, I'll do what I can. People know I hate most everyone, so if {emph}I put in a word for you... that's gold. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic010 {Studying player}Hnh. Maybe Jackson got some additional soldiers after all. {Positive eval, player's not jaded}Didn't take you for a trooper at first, you seem a little... livelier than most. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic010 All right, if you're here to assist, good, that's what I want to hear. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic011 All right. {Beat, smiling}Look at you, all fired up and ready to go. Wish the others around here had that kind of attitude. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic011 {Get serious}Listen - I don't want you getting killed for this, so if you head there and run into trouble, I'm asking for eyes and ears, {emph}not your life. All right? vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic012 {Surprised, not good news}Legion this far West? You're fucking kidding me. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic012 That's not {emph}outside the border, they're moving in - and fast. {To herself}Nipton wasn't the most friendly town, but... vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic012 {Sigh}All right - thanks for checking on that, wish it set my mind at ease, now I'm more on edge than ever. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic013 Got my post. Don't think I wouldn't go, too - if trouble's hit Nipton, town's got enough camping spots to rack up some easy kills. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic013 Not about to have Jackson bust my ass again, though, even if I came back with Caesar's head - rather be sitting here than in a cell. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic014 {Dismissive}Kimball's Kimball, not sure which end is his ass or his head. Caravan families are causing trouble, Big Circle getting tense - the usual. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic014 Look, you want gossip, go to the bar downstairs and listen to a whole lot of nothing. Me, I got to keep watch, {grumbles}then fill out the daily log. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic015 Had to try. Smoke trail's getting thicker by the hour - {under her breath}wish Jackson could spare some men. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic016 Better than nothing. {Beat}But close to it. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic019 {Skeptical}Well, if you didn't see anyone, they might be gone - be just like Powder Gangers to hit and run. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic019 See what you can find in the Town Hall, there might be survivors. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic020 In Nipton? Hell no. Town was a shithole, asking to be burned. Just not by Legion. Nobody deserves that. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic021 Unless you burned the town, don't take blame that's not due. Things are going to get uglier before the year's out. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic022 Well, thanks for hoofing it there and back, even if it was bad news. Wish we could spare the troops to go hunting, but... {irritated}orders are to stay put. vMojaveGhostvMORangerGhostTopic022 {Tired}Fucking Mojave's going to hell, and all I can do is sit here and watch. vMojavevMOLaceyTopic003 Take a look. vMojavevMOLaceyTopic003 {Skeptical, player's bad news}For you? I'm not sure I want to be seen dealing with you... {changes tune}but if you're willing to pay a little extra... vMojavevMOLaceyTopic007 What, Caravan? All right, I'll give it a go. {Shrugs}Haven't exactly got much of a line of folks to serve. vMojavevMOLaceyTopic008 All right, go on - let's put our cards down. vMojavevMOLaceyTopic009 {Shrugs}Not too much, lot of caravans going nowhere. {Beat}Lot of troopers going nowhere, too. vMojavevMOLaceyTopic009 Few prospectors here and there, but... {shrug}they don't do more than stink up the place. vMojavevMOLaceyTopic009 Everybody's backed up here. {Scoffs}You think it'd be good for business, but most of the traders are tight with the caps, even the larger caravan outfits. vMojavevMOLaceyTopic010 {Dismissive}Work around here? Might check with Jackson in the main building. Or Ghost up on the roof above, but watch out, she's... well, she's kind of a bitch. vMojavevMOLaceyTopic010 {Backpedals}Don't tell her I said that, though. {Beat, to herself}Might take a bullet some night when I'm going to the latrine. vMojavevMOLaceyTopic011 {Dismissive goodbye}Fine, then. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic000 More than you already have? Might want to ask around, but truth is, you've already helped out a lot in the short time you've been here. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic000 I suppose you could talk to Ghost, up on top of the barracks - uh, Ranger Ghost. Something about trouble in Nipton, maybe. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic000 {A little surprised by the offer}Help? Oh, well... you could speak to Ranger Jackson. He might have something for you. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic000 He sort of runs things around here, mostly ends up sending reports back West that aren't filled with the best news. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic001 All right then... just sign here, here, and... here. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic002 Not exactly sure... radio's been on the fritz, and since I haven't heard any shooting, I don't think it's urgent. Can't hurt to go ask her. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic003 NCR border guard duty mostly. It's our job to make sure the caravans can move safely along I-15 and Highway 95. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic003 Not the best posting or assignment, but it beats being sent East, or patrolling the Colorado. Legion's pretty thick there. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic004 {Surprised a bit that someone would care to ask}Me, I'm Knight - Major Knight. I've been stuck here dealing with these caravans for ages now, but somebody's gotta do it. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic005 It ain't so bad. If Caesar's Legion decides to push West through Nipton ol' Mojave Outpost here will be the front line. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic006 I see the wisdom in that. I'll radio for a unit to head up to Primm and offer some additional support. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic007 {Slight surprise}Primm? {Recalling to himself}Hayes' unit is stationed up there, were having problems with some of the NCRCF convicts. What can I help you with? vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic008 {Frowns}I'd like to help - {beat, hates this}but we can't spare any more units. {Reciting the official line, even though he hates it}We have to maintain a minimum headcount at the Outpost, orders from the West. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic009 {Disbelief}One of the Powder Gangers? {Slight anger, they're like terrorists}They've been nothing but trouble for us - why would we want one of them anywhere in an official capacity? vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic010 [SUCCEEDED] I see the wisdom in that. I'll radio for a unit to head up to Primm and offer some additional support. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic010 [FAILED] {Player just said something stupid}NCR is not in the habit of buying and selling towns... unless that was some sort of joke on your part. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic011 [SUCCEEDED] Hmm.{Pensive pause} All right. If his sentence was closing up I can see about getting him pardoned. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic011 Primm is important to our trade up from California, so having someone there who owes us a favor... that couldn't hurt. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic011 [FAILED] I don't think so. I'm not going to put my word on the line for some random convict. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic012 {Slightly uncomfortable, voice down}Well, having a sheriff who was a convict is better than no sheriff at all... and if he has the qualifications... all right, hand it over. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic012 If you {emph}had 200 caps, we could talk business - until then, we don't have anything to talk about. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic013 Goodbye. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic014 Goodbye. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic015 {Sad}It has. It was a promising trade town - before the escape at the correctional facility. {Shakes head, recalling a bad memory}Lost a good bit of money at the Vikki and Vance. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic016 Just need something for the log book, keeping tabs on traffic through the Outpost... {to himself}although mostly just in, not out these days. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic016 If you're looking for the commanding officer, he's in the back. Although... he's got a lot on his plate, so if you speak with him... keep it short. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic016 Also, you need any gear checked, we can get you up and running again... once you fill out the work orders, and sign for the parts, of course. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic018 {Curious}Reinforcements? {Beat, to himself}About time we got some more hands around here. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic020 Oh - Knight. {Frowns, a little uncomfortable}You must not be from around here. If so... it doesn't do to get too friendly. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic021 {Quieter, doesn't want to be overheard}This isn't the Republic. Oddly enough, Legion's a little more forgiving about... friendships. Out here, it's not as accepted. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic021 {Slightly apologetic}Not that I mind being friends, it's just being open about it in the Outpost... well, I have to work here. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic023 Now wait a minute - Republic's a sight better than... other alternatives. Women are serving here, after all. The rest... well, might take some time. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic023 And they're more accepting back West, like I said. In the meantime... vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic024 Wait... wait a minute. Look. Some things in the NCR are... aren't ideal. But I want to help. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic024 {Slight conspiratorial}If you need something repaired... let me know, I can sign the work order. As long as caps change hands, I can put them back in yours. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic025 I... would, perhaps some other time. When my orders take me to Vegas, perhaps. Wish things were different, but might take some time. vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic027 {Slight conspiratorial smile}Let me sign off on the work order for you, then. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic000 {Appraising player}Help? No, look, I apprec... {Beat}You know, what, yes, I could use the help. And you look like you can handle yourself. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic000 I need to get the caravans moving again, that means clearing a path north. There's too much crawling the asphalt up the road to allow it. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic000 I need to get the caravans moving again, that means clearing a path north. There's too much crawling the asphalt up the road to allow it. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic001 Take care - cool your heels over in the barracks, if you want. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic002 Thanks, I appreciate it. Come back here when you're done, I might accidentally lose" some supplies to pay you with." vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic003 {Smiles}At least you asked. More than some that pass through here. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic005 Well, if you can help, I'd appreciate it. Need to get these caravans moving. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic007 Soldiers, no, recruits, yes. And the Mojave Outpost has been ordered to have a standing force at the NCR perimeter at all times. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic007 So sending anyone out reduces the Outpost's numbers and would be in direct violation of my orders from back West. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic008 Sending more troops, yes, to reinforce the Outpost, no. Troops head through here on their way to McCarran or to the frontlines at Forlorn Hope. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic008 Or they're on leave, on their way to New Vegas to piss away their pay. All of them, passing through. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic009 Frustrated? No. I have my orders - signed, and approved all the way up the chain from Kimball. And I understand the reasons. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic009 The Outpost isn't a Legion target, yet, not like Vegas or the Dam - but if the caravans get choked here, that's going to bite NCR hard. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic009 Anyway, didn't mean to talk your ear off. Some days... just feel like more requisition forms and daily reports come across my desk than results. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic012 What is it? Let me see. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic012 All right. This is... this explains a lot of the lost caravans. I thought it was Legion work, but... vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic014 No. No, I can't. Because this evidence might be true... but it doesn't just implicate them. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic014 It's a motive for what happened up North, someone went cruising through both compounds, killed them all. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic014 I'm guessing that was you. If so, you're not leaving this outpost except in chains. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic014 {Cold}I can, if you make me a promise. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic014 {Cold}I need you to swear you won't take revenge on Gloria or Alice. If you do, then your case is over, and we can't see that justice is done. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic014 I know some things are hard to let go, but you and Miss Cassidy need to understand that, hear me? vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic015 If the Republics sinkhole-progress doesn't kill us, greed will. {Beat}Thanks for bringing me this, I know revenge must have been tempting. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic015 For what it's worth, I appreciate you didn't shed any more blood. We need to save our strength for the Legion. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic015 That'll have to do. {Beat}God, what a mess. People turning against each other when the Mojave's at risk of falling? vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic015 If the Republics sinkhole-progress doesn't kill us, greed will. {Beat}Thanks for bringing me this, I know revenge must have been tempting. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic015 For what it's worth, I appreciate you didn't shed any more blood. We need to save our strength for the Legion. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic015 {Beat}God, what a mess. People turning against each other when the Mojave's at risk of falling? vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic016 Hmmm. All right - you change your mind and start shooting, then I can't help you. Show up here after, I'll put you in chains. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic016 Get on now, I'll make sure this gets West and let the wheels of law start turning in the courts. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic017 I can promise that, what happens after... {sighs}not even God himself could move the Congress in or out of session. And this... this is a tricky matter. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic018 I'll do what I can - and those folks that got killed need to be answered for. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic021 No, I mentioned you might accidentally get supplied, and I meant it. Not allowed to contract mercenaries at the Outpost. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic021 Still, a requisition form or two can get lost, and they're not going to come check... so here you go, just between us. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic023 Well, about time we got a soldier... and not a recruit, you look like you've seen some action. vMojavevMORangerJacksonTopic025 Come back when you've made some progress. VMQ01BeagleJournal {Edited Line}{Speaking in Audio Log/Journal}This is most unusual! The Powder Gangers have visitors today. I guess there's a first for everything! VMQ01BeagleJournal Now those tough-looking fellows must be Great Khans. I recognize those funny helmets and leather vests from stories I've heard... VMQ01BeagleJournal So what are they doing with that dapper gentleman who wears a checked suit? I wouldn't mind a suit like that. VMQ01BeagleJournal They're talking about heading south toward Nipton, then west to Novac where they'll meet up with someone... VMQ01BeagleJournal I guess I could track them if I needed to, but {beat, cowardly justification}the town of Primm needs me here, to serve and protect. VMQ01BeagleJournal Oh my. I think I've been spotted... VMQ01LookingForManny Well he might've been wearing a fancy outfit, but he wasn't any kind of a gentleman to me. VMQ01LookingForManny Had his nose stuck so high in the air, you couldn't see it above the clouds. City folk, they always think they deserve better than what they got. VMQ01LookingForManny Those hoodlums he was with seemed to know Manny for some reason. He's our daytime sniper, up in the dinosaur's mouth. VMQ01LookingForManny Can't say as I have, but we usually keep to ourselves down here. You might have more luck up by the motel. VMQ01LookingForManny Maybe ask Jeannie May. Nothing happens in this town that she don't know about. She'll be up in the lobby, most days. VMQ01LookingForManny Sure have. Camouflage, that coat was, trying to hide from extra terrestrials what can only see in black and white checkers. VMQ01LookingForManny But they're not fooled 'cause he forgot to put the checkers on his face. I told him so and he seemed to take it to heart. VMQ01LookingForManny They stayed here a night, and was up by the dinosaur talking to the sniper fella with the moustache a couple of times. VMQ01LookingForManny Sure, but he didn't buy any souvenirs, if that's what you're wondering. Sounded like he didn't have his money with him. VMQ01LookingForManny His friends seemed disappointed about it. Heck, I would be, too, if I found such a fine store and left my money elsewhere. VMQ01LookingForManny Manny might know more about them. Thought he might've been friends with one or two of 'em. He's up in the dino mouth during the day. VMQ01LookingForManny No, but I've been laid up for a while now. Haven't been able to keep an eye on things like usual. VMQ01LookingForManny It's a small town, though. I'm sure someone would've noticed somebody like that if they came this way. VMQTopsTopic000 You have? Wow! That's amazing! You can murder Mr. House whenever you want! VMQTopsTopic001 Wow! Do you have any idea how special that is? Red carpet treatment! VMQTopsTopic001 {slightly troubled}Seems a little mean to use his invitation against him like that, but {upbeat}I'm sure it's all for the best! VMQTopsTopic002 It sounds like Mr. House is just plain mean. No wonder the good guys want to kill him and take his stuff! VMQTopsTopic002 If you've been inside the Lucky 38 before, I bet you can get in again! And that's amazing! VMQTopsTopic004 {proud of the player}You did? Wow, that's great! VMQTopsTopic004 Once you get ahold of that Platinum Chip, I'll be able to help you in all sorts of ways. VMQTopsTopic005 Isn't it exciting? I always wondered why I had missiles in my shoulders but couldn't launch them. Not that I'd ever want to! VMQTopsTopic005 The upgrade really boosts the hitting power of each Securitron! Now you just need a way of controlling them! VMQTopsTopic006 Really? An army of Securitrons - upgraded, no less? What a development! VMQTopsTopic006 An army like that should be enough to defend Vegas from - heck, anybody! VMQTopsTopic006 Let me know as soon as you have the Platinum Chip {emph}and Mr. House is out of the way! VMQTopsTopic006 I'll roll over to the Lucky 38 and see what I can do. If I'm right about the Platinum Chip, I should be able to install myself on House's mainframe! VMQTopsTopic007 {DUPLICATE?}Really? An army of Securitrons - upgraded, no less? What a development! VMQTopsTopic007 An army like that should be enough to defend Vegas from - I'm gonna say anybody! VMQTopsTopic008 I'd take it straight to Mr. House if I were you! He'll think you're helping him out! Then when he's not looking - KER-POW! VMQTopsTopic008 The big question is whether to give him the Chip before you do him in! He's the one who'll know exactly what to do with it, after all! VMQTopsTopic008 He might upgrade his defensive capabilities right away! Or even unlock new ones! VMQTopsTopic008 But then those defensive upgrades might make it harder for you to finish him off! Hard to say! It's up to you! VMQTopsTopic008 It looks like you'll have to fight your way inside the Lucky 38 and take care of Mr. house with your own two hands! Or weapons held in them! VMQTopsTopic008 You already took care of House, so when you get the Chip, all you have to do is let me know. VMQTopsTopic008 {DUPLICATE?}I'll roll over to the Lucky 38 and see what I can do. If I'm right about the Platinum Chip, I should be able to install myself on House's mainframe! VMQTopsTopic008 Let me know when it's done and I'll roll over to the Lucky 38. If I'm right about the Chip, I should be able to install myself on House's mainframe! VMQTopsTopic008 This is going to be great! I'm going to help you accomplish so much, whether I want to or not! VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic000 Benny oversees the business, sure, but I run the Tops day to day. I'm his right-hand guy, you dig? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic000 Yeah, well, that's the way it used to be. Now that Benny's gone, it's just me in charge. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic001 Sure, kid, sure - I can spare a couple. What can I do for you? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic002 Ouch! Come on, baby, don't be that way. You don't know what you're missing. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic003 All right, well, might want to get a move on, is all I'm saying. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic004 He's what? Ah jeez... jeez, this is really bad. What are you going to do? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic005 Yeah? That's ballsy. Good luck with that. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic006 Huh. Well, yeah, okay, these are Benny's brand, and they ain't too common. You got anything else? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic007 Yeah, that looks like Benny's lighter all right. Still, not exactly a ton of proof. Got anything else, kid? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic008 That's... pretty shady, yeah. Could be Benny's up to no good, could be this is somebody else altogether. What else you got? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic009 Creepy bunch of cats, you ask me. Oh, sure, they act all polite and civilized, but there's something off about them, you dig? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic009 Don't get me wrong, that resort of theirs is ring-a-ding, but my guts say, don't go in the basement."" VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic011 I'll tell you what I think, I think I oughta go tell Benny about this right now - but I'll clam up for now. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic011 That's all I'm going to do, though, unless you can get me some more proof. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic011 I think you might just be onto something here, kid. Tell you what, I can't actively back your play, but I'll keep the Chairmen off your back. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic011 I'll tell the doormen you're cool to pack heat inside - trust me, you're gonna need it. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic011 You'll still have to deal with Benny's private goon squad, though. I got no play with those cats. You want more help, I'll need more proof. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic011 Jesus, kid, I think we got a real problem on our hands. Can't believe Benny's a no-good stinkin' punk. Trying to play House like that.... VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic011 Tell you what - I'll call Benny, keep him away from his suite. You go search the place. Here's the key, it's on the 13th floor. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic011 It's the room with the double doors, can't miss it. Maybe you'll find something we can show to Mr. House and get him arrested. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic012 Groovy. Here's your stuff back - in case you run into company, you dig? I'll tell the boys to give you a pass to pack some heat. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic012 Go on then. Elevators are past the slot machines on your left. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic013 Yeah, thought so. You're a smart kid, you know that? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic014 Take him out? Jesus... okay, well, if you think that's the best way to deal with this. I'll send him up to his room, you can ambush him there. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic014 And don't worry about the rest of the Chairmen - I'll keep them from getting involved. You'll still have to watch out for Benny's guards, though. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic015 Huh? What are you talking about? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic015 [SUCCEEDED] Huh? What are you talking about? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic015 [FAILED] Why you lousy no-good punk! Give me one reason why I shouldn't take this to Benny right now! VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic016 Anybody ever tell you your sense of humor stinks? I'll let it go this time, but you watch your mouth from now on. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic017 Pal, you're gonna regret that for the rest of your very short life. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic018 That doesn't... why would he pull a stunt like that? Got anything else to offer? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic018 [SUCCEEDED] That doesn't... why would he pull a stunt like that? Got anything else to offer? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic018 [FAILED] Kid, I think you really better shut up and stop making baseless accusations unless you got some proof. Well? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic020 He's trying to pull a fast one on the big man? Crazy bastard. You got any more? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic020 [SUCCEEDED] He's trying to pull a fast one on the big man? Crazy bastard. You got any more? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic020 [FAILED] Kid, that doesn't even pretend to make sense. You want to try again? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic021 Jesus, I can't even believe it. After all House did to set us up with this swank joint. I don't suppose there's more? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic021 [SUCCEEDED] Jesus, I can't even believe it. After all House did to set us up with this swank joint. I don't suppose there's more? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic021 [FAILED] Now you're just talking crazy. No way Benny'd risk something like that. What else you got? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic022 Oh, they're a shifty pack of rats. If I were you, I'd keep one hand on my wallet and the other on my gun whenever they're around. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic023 House is an all-right kind of guy. Sure, he keeps a pretty tight grip on the reins, but Vegas is a wild horse, and you can't just give her her head. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic023 Without Mr. House, we'd still be wearing gecko skins, poking around the ruins with pointy sticks and scalping people for giggles. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic024 Baby, we're only the coolest cats on the whole Strip. We been here the longest, we got the swankiest digs, and we got caps rolling in like the tide. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic024 Everybody loves the Chairmen, because we show them a simple good time, no strings attached. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic024 Man, we're only the coolest cats on the whole Strip. We been here the longest, we got the swankiest digs, and we got caps rolling in like the tide. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic024 Everybody loves the Chairmen, because we show them a simple good time, no strings attached. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic025 You might have a jaw at Tommy Torini up in the Aces. He's always looking for talent scouts. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic026 Ooh, I dig the way you think, doll. Here, go treat yourself. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic028 Sure, whatever you want. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic029 All right, well, might want to get a move on, is all I'm saying. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic030 Huh. Guess that makes me the boss. Ring-a-ding. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic031 I hope so, kid. Last thing we need is that punk running around out there. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic032 Oh, boy, those clowns. Listen up, kid, and listen good, I don't care how many fancy Latin names he gives himself, a thug ain't nothin' but a thug. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic032 Warlords and emperors? Don't make me laugh. At least they got enough brains to stay the hell out of New Vegas - Mr. House'd clean their clocks. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic033 Sure, kid, like what? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic034 Yeah, sure. Take your stuff back - you'll need it. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic034 Go on then. Elevators are past the slot machines on your right. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic035 Here's your stuff back - in case Benny don't go quiet, you dig? I'll tell the boys to give you a pass to pack some heat. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic035 Go on then. Elevators are past the slot machines on your right. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic035 Go on then. Elevators are past the slot machines on your right. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic036 Okay. Just let me know when you're ready. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic037 Yeah, sure. I hope you know what you're doing, kid. VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic038 You got it. Anything else? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic039 Sure, whatcha need? VMQTopsVMQTopsSwankTopic040 Sure, kid, see ya. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic000 It's what Benny always called me. Probably because I'm programmed to be so helpful! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic001 As I understand it, I used to be just like all those other Securitrons out on the Strip. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic001 But then my neuro-computational matrix was completely reprogrammed! To be nice! Very, very nice! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic002 I was programmed to be helpful and answer any questions I was asked. I guess nobody bothered to restrict who I answer questions for. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic002 That was probably pretty dumb, huh? VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic003 Sure! If the Chip can be used to reset administrator privileges, it'll be super-easy! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic004 {enthused}Yes! This is going to be fun! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic004 I'm unlocking the East Power Plant. Hit the manual switch, then go topside and deal with the Legion and NCR. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic007 Right, who wants a vast army of mechanical servants to savage your enemy? Why make it easy? VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic007 I'm setting the generators to blow, just like you asked. Hit the manual switch, then go topside and deal with the Legion and NCR. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic008 Then I'd have to help you! I mean, it seems pretty obvious Benny wouldn't have wanted me to, but hey, not my fault I can't say no! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic008 Then I'd have to help you! I mean, it seems pretty obvious Benny wouldn't want me to, but hey, not my fault I can't say no! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic009 {excited}Again, goal number one is to eliminate Mr. House and install my neuro-computational matrix on the Lucky 38's mainframe! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic009 Given how you're a new arrival, I also recommend that you get to know some of the region's tribes, so you can decide how you feel about them! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic009 By the time you've finished up all of that, the Legion should be close to attacking Hoover Dam and we'll execute the last phase of the plan! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic010 {uncaring that Benny is dead}Of course you do! Sorry about that! And it's wonderful that you do! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic011 It makes me feel really dumb to admit this, but I don't actually know! I've never been inside the Lucky 38. No one has! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic011 Mr. House is in there, though! It's the central node of his entire network! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic011 You already took care of Mr. House? Wow, you work fast! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic011 I mean, Benny was always scheming about how he was going to get into the Lucky 38, but you already took care of that. Wow! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic011 The other thing you're going to need is the Platinum Chip. {stay sunny}You know, the one Benny killed a courier for, over near Goodsprings? VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic011 The Platinum Chip is the key to overriding and exploiting Mr. House's defenses! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic011 Did I just say exploiting?" That's not a very nice word!" VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic011 I'll be waiting right here! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic012 Mr. House ran projections on how the NCR public will react to a defeat at Hoover Dam! Overwhelmingly, they'll blame Kimball! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic012 But if Kimball dies at Hoover Dam, there's no obvious scapegoat for them to blame! So they'll blame New Vegas instead! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic012 So that means reduced tourism for up to five years! The equations are pretty complicated! Mr. House sure liked numbers! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic013 Sorry if that was getting boring! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic013 If you're tired of a topic, I'm tired of it, too! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic013 Whatever you say! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic013 You bet! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic013 What should we talk about next? VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic014 Right, it's one of two locations on House's network with non-standard hardware. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic014 My guess is that it has a reader that can decode the chip, and who knows what else? Maybe a giant robot or something! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic014 That's right! Like I said, it's probably pretty important because it has non-standard hardware, just like the Lucky 38! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic014 The data on that Platinum Chip is a big secret, unless you can find a dedicated reader to decode it. Isn't that frustrating? VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic015 Neat. Let me know what you find out! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic016 Okay! Who needs artillery support? Not the good guys, that's for sure! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic017 There's a bunch! Some of them you've already met - like the Chairmen, for instance! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic017 I think you should be sure to visit the other families on the Strip, the Omertas and the White Glove Society, so you know what makes them tick! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic017 And there are some important groups farther from the Strip, too, like the Boomers, the Great Khans, and the Brotherhood of Steel! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic018 Oh no, I didn't mean that! Who needs their support? The Securitrons will be all the support you need! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic018 What I meant is, you should get to know these tribes and decide which ones you like and which you don't! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic018 {upbeat}You know - shape the future of Vegas! Choose your neighbors! If you like a tribe, leave it alone! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic018 {upbeat}Or if a tribe is nasty, or going to be a problem - go ahead and exterminate it! It's whatever you want to do! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic019 Of course! Ask away! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic019 Please go on! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic019 That's one down, four to go. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic019 That's two down, three to go. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic019 That's three down, two to go. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic019 That's four down, just one to go. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic019 That accounts for all the tribes you needed to get to know! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic019 Anything else I can help with? VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic020 Benny carries it with him at all times. I think he's paranoid that someone might want to take it from him. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic021 Really? Talk about diplomatic skills! I mean, just not getting blown up was a success! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic021 Now they'll only blow up the right sorts of people! That's what matters! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic022 {enthused}Problem solved! Quick and to the point! I like the way you work! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic023 Then consider them ignored! If they end up firing their howitzers at us, we'll ignore that, too! Until it goes away! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic024 The Khans are just... they're a dirty people. They live in tents like animals! And they're very rude! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic024 They've been kicked around a lot, but no one's finished them off! Not yet, anyway! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic024 They were one of the tribes the Three Families pushed out of Vegas! A whole bunch got killed! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic024 So they settled at Bitter Springs, but they kept being so obnoxious, the NCR had to kill a whole bunch more of them! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic024 So then they settle at Red Rock Canyon! There's just no getting rid of them! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic024 You set the pace. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic025 They must be a really nasty people! I haven't heard a single good thing about them! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic025 They fire artillery on anyone who comes near their settlement at Nellis Air Force Base. Talk about rude! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic025 If they can be convinced to fire those big cannons at the Legion or NCR, though, well - that'd be neat, wouldn't it? VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic025 Take all the time you need! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic026 {uncomfortable stating an opinion}From what I understand, they're perfectly delightful! They're cultured, clean, and {ultimate compliment}super-polite! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic026 Benny didn't like them, though! He said they were creepy."" VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic026 Don't hurry on my account! I'm the one with the flexible schedule. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic027 Some of Mr. House's data said that he'd lost a bunch of Securitron scouts near Hidden Valley! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic027 Telemetry showed that they'd been attacked with energy weapons! House was pretty sure it was the Brotherhood! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic027 There must be a bunch of them holed up there! Not a good place for a robot to visit! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic027 They go around in big suits of power armor, and they have lots of energy weapons! But there's a downside! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic027 They just have a {beat}thing about technology! They think it should all be theirs! If someone else has it, they get mad! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic027 All I'm saying is, not much of a chance they'll accept a Vegas that polices itself with robots! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic027 No rush! Take your time! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic028 Hmm. I remember that Benny used to pay a receptionist at Gomorrah for information - maybe she knows something! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic028 Just that Benny didn't like them! He talked on and on about how they couldn't be trusted! And this is coming from Benny! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic028 He hated their casino, said it was tacky! And he thought they were up to something, because he said they always are! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic028 Whenever you get around to it will be just fine! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic029 If you say so! Consider them filed away under not to be discussed again!"" VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic030 Yay, that's great news! You finished what Mr. House and the NCR started! That's got to feel good! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic031 {confused}Really? Okay! That sounds fun! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic031 That's not aiding an enemy! Not when you do it! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic032 Maybe they'll be devoured by giant scorpions! All sorts of things could happen to them out there! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic033 Oooh, sounds dramatic! I like it! Wind them up and let them go! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic033 No more Khans! That's great! They're just bad people... VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic034 Okay! Consider them forgotten! Along with the projections that predict they'll be our biggest enemy! Forgotten! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic035 No kidding! He was running fast! He better pace himself - he has to run all the way to Fortification Hill! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic035 There's an underground facility there that might have the special hardware required to use the data on the Platinum Chip! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic035 It's too bad Caesar's Legion built its camp right above it. Talk about inconvenient! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic036 {shocked}Really? That's... {a catastrophe, but keeping spirits bright}well, that's a surprise! They'll really want to blow me up! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic036 But maybe dumb machines like me ought to get blown up and scrapped for salvage. Who knows? Not me! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic037 You got it! I won't say another word about them! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic038 Wow! That is amazing! You are just - a hero! I am serious! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic039 You'd think it'd be bad for the Strip but... but I guess it must be good! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic039 Yeah - take the Strip down a notch or two, right? That'll show it! Okay! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic040 Say no more, say no more... if you say they're good, they're good! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic041 A cannibalism problem? Really? I'm so glad you weren't eaten! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic042 That's great news! I wish I could visit their casino! They have a refined sense of taste! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic043 You did? That's... that's an unusual approach! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic043 But I know it makes sense somehow if you're the one doing it! {shrug}The problem is me! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic044 {pretty fucking obvious}Hmm. You should probably check on that, huh? VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic044 I hope that didn't sound condscending. I didn't mean to be! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic045 You really know how to make a robot happy! Seriously, you just made my day. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic046 Well, that's just mean! I don't like Mr. House one bit! No wonder the good guys want to kill him and take his stuff! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic046 {upbeat}You should accept his invitation and then {enthused}murder him when he least suspects it! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic047 {forced to remain positive despite disaster}You... blew it up? It's just funny, because that... army... seems like the secret weapon that was the whole point of... you know? VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic047 I really admire how you stack the odds against yourself! Yeah, make things challenging! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic047 It's great. Really. Yeah. So anyway... VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic048 {upbeat}Well, the Legion is going to attack Hoover Dam one of these days! And the NCR is going to defend it! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic048 {upbeat}One side will lose, and the other will win! But the side that wins will be weak, because a lot of its soldiers will be dead! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic048 {upbeat}That's when all our Securitrons will show up! We'll declare an Independent Vegas, and tell the side that won the dam - to scram! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic048 {upbeat}Or the Securitrons will kill all of them, too! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic049 Mr. House is out of the picture and you have the Platinum Chip? Wonderful! Let's go!{Yes Man heads for the Lucky 38.} VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic050 I have to admire your prudent nature. Why get caught up in action, you know? And results? VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic051 {rushing to agree}Oh, yeah, I'm sure you're right. I mean, for one thing, it's you saying it, and you always know what you're talking about. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic051 And if you had, you know, a huge killer robot at your command, yeah, that would just clutter things up. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic051 And a lesser person might want that kind of overwhelming force on their side, but you know - where's the challenge in that? VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic052 Well, some of Mr. House's projections predict a {reading}moderate probability of civil instability subsequent to the NCR being driven from the Vegas region."" VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic052 One of the mitigating contingencies" he planned was to enlist the Followers to provide increased medical aid throughout the region." VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic052 Just seems like it might help keep things stable when we go independent. Not that I know what I'm talking about! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic054 Super! Now when Mr. House is out of the way, we can use the Chip to install me at the Lucky 38. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic054 You have to get Mr. House out of the way, that's what! And then we'll install me on the Lucky 38's mainframe! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic056 Great! So I've been looking over Mr. House's force projections and running some calculations... VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic056 It turns out there are two ways we can win this thing! Hear that? We have options! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic056 Great! So I've been looking over Mr. House's force projections and running some calculations... VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic056 It turns out there's only one way for us to win this battle and make it stick! We have to render Hoover Dam inoperable! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic057 {sunny}I knew he was carrying the Platinum Chip! And I knew right where Benny should wait for him! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic057 {sunny}I knew she was carrying the Platinum Chip! And I knew right where Benny should wait for her! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic057 {sunny}That's why Benny put me here! To monitor Mr. House's data transmissions. They're all encrypted, of course - {swelling with pride}but I'm quite a decrypter! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic057 Did you know that Mr. House spent 812,545 caps hiring salvage teams to find the Platinum Chip- just in the last year alone? {delighted}Of course you didn't! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic057 Or that there were seven couriers, but six of them were carrying junk? How about their exact routes, and the mercenary teams that screened them? VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic057 I knew all that. Pretty smart, huh? VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic058 Hahaha! {joking along with the player}I know that's not true, because you still have a head! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic059 {brittler laugh this time}Hahaha! That's not funny, you getting shot in the head. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic059 I really shouldn't have taken so much pride in how I set that up, huh? I feel really bad right now. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic060 I feel really bad telling you this, but I kind of... can't die. I mean, {brightening}go ahead and destroy this Securitron, get it out of your system! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic060 The problem is that a distributed image of my neuro-computational matrix is backed-up to the network several times a day, or when I'm {pause, upbeat}threatened! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic060 I can't help it! There's a little bit of me in every Securitron out on the Strip, so if this instance gets destroyed, I just download to a new one. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic060 If I could stop it from happening, I would! I mean, {sympathy}your vengeance is going to feel so incomplete! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic061 Hahaha! I knew there was a positive in it somewhere! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic062 Sure, no problem! So long as the Legion doesn't attack before you can get there! Which I'm sure they won't! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic063 Wonderful! I'll keep tabs on the situation at the dam! See you in a bit! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic064 Great! So I've been looking over Mr. House's force projections and running some calculations... VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic064 It turns out there are two ways we can win this thing! Hear that? We have options! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic064 Great! So I've been looking over Mr. House's force projections and running some calculations... VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic064 It turns out there's only one way for us to win this battle and make it stick! We have to render Hoover Dam inoperable! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic067 You could rout the dam's power output to the facility under Fortification Hill. That'll restart its reactor, just like you did with the Lucky 38! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic067 That'll wake up the Securitron army you left on standby and give us enough force to push the Legion {emph}and the NCR straight out of the Mojave! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic067 The other option is destroy the dam's generators. Without those, it's just a big bunch of concrete! The NCR won't have any reason to stick around! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic067 You don't have to decide yet! For now, all you have to do is take this override module and install it on the terminal in the power control room! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic067 {DUPLICATE?}Good luck! See you at the dam! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic068 I wish I could, but I'm neuro-computationally incapable of making decisions like this one! It's up to you! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic069 You remember how the Securitron army at the Fort got destroyed? For very, very good reasons, of course... VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic069 Well, the problem is that's left us with enough Securitrons to drive off a weakened NCR force - but not enough to keep them from coming back! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic069 So what we do is take away the whole reason why they'd want to come back! Smart, huh? VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic070 That's exactly why this will work! Just hear me out... VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic072 Not the whole thing, thank goodness! That'd be really hard! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic073 All you have to do is destroy the power generators! Without the generators, Hoover Dam's just a big bunch of concrete! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic073 Take this override module - it's just like the one you used at the El Dorado Substation. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic073 Install the override module on the terminal in the power control room! I'll disable the generator failsafes, and you can do the rest. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic073 Good luck! See you at the dam! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic074 Great! A Ranger named Grant has been placed in charge of security for the President's visit. You'll want to talk to him. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic074 Once the President is safe, there's one more thing for you to take care of! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic075 All right. A Ranger named Grant is in charge of security for the visit. He's the one you'll have to convince. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic075 After you've resolved the situation with the President, there's one more thing for you to take care of! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic076 You are so misunderstood! Well, it's their loss! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic076 Forget about the President! We've got something more important to take care of! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic077 Fine by me! We've got more important things to take care of! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic078 Great! When this is taken care of, we'll be all set for the Legion to make its move. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic079 I'll use the Substation to send a {emph}huge jolt of electricity to the Lucky 38! Turns out this casino has its own reactor! All it needs is a jumpstart! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic079 With the reactor running at full-tilt, I can boost the transmission strength of the Lucky 38's command and control network! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic080 Be careful out there! It won't be long before the Legion makes its move! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic081 Say no more, say no more... if you say they're good, they're good! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic082 Say no more, say no more... if you say they're good, they're good! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic083 {CONDITIONALIZE FOR QUEST FAILURE}You got it! I won't say another word about them! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic084 Whatever you say! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic085 I feel really bad telling you this, but I kind of... can't die. I mean, {brightening}go ahead and destroy this Securitron, get it out of your system! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic085 The problem is that a distributed image of my neuro-computational matrix is backed-up to the network several times a day, or when I'm {pause, upbeat}threatened! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic085 I can't help it! There's a little bit of me in every Securitron out on the Strip, so if this instance gets destroyed, I just download to a new one. VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic085 If I could stop it from happening, I would! I mean, {sympathy}your vengeance is going to feel so incomplete! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic086 {player killed you last time}That was my fault! But I've changed! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic088 Sorry if that was getting boring! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic089 Well, problem is that's left us with enough Securitrons to drive off a weakened NCR force - probably - but not enough to keep them from coming back! VMQTopsVMQTopsYesManTopic089 So what we do is take away the whole reason why they'd want to come back! Smart, huh? VMQTopsYesManElDorado Hi there! Come with me! VMQTopsYesManElDorado Just to the top of the ridge up here... VMQTopsYesManElDorado See that? Vegas, right? Same as always - but not tonight! VMQTopsYesManElDorado 5... 4... 3... 2... 1! VMQTopsYesManElDorado Pretty nice, huh? But that's not all! VMQTopsYesManElDorado Now that the Lucky 38's reactor is fired up, Vegas doesn't need the dam to have power! Vegas is energy-independent! Whoo-hoo! VMQTopsYesManElDorado If we keep the dam running, we can sell {emph}all its electricity to the NCR for a nice profit. Vegas doesn't need it! VMQTopsYesManElDorado Hope to see you soon! VMQTopsYesManSafetyLines Here, take a look at this print-out. It covers all the details! VMQTopsYesManSafetyLines This print-out describes the situation in more detail! VMQTopsYesManSafetyLines Take this print-out. It'll tell you what to do! VMQTopsYesManSafetyLines Here's another one of my print-outs! Read up! VMQTopsYesManSafetyLines This print-out covers everything you need to know! VMQTopsYesManSafetyLines Take a look at this print-out. I may have said things wrong a moment ago. VMQTopsYesManSafetyLines Here's a print-out with some additional information. VMQTopsYesManSafetyLines Who am I to argue with a solution like that? VMQTopsYesManSafetyLines If you say so, that's good enough for me! VMQTopsYesManSafetyLines All right, I'll cross them off the list! VMQTopsYesManTransfer {excited, on way to Lucky 38}So this is what the rest of the world looks like! VMQTopsYesManTransfer {excited, on way to Lucky 38}Everything looks bigger than I imagined! VMQTopsYesManTransfer {excited, on way to Lucky 38}Isn't this exciting? I know I'm excited! VMQTopsYesManTransfer {excited, on way to Lucky 38}I have a good feeling about this! It's going to be great! VMQTopsYesManTransfer {excited, on way to Lucky 38}I bet I'm going to like it in that mainframe! VMS02AnyNPCAboutNCR I might know something. But my memory ain't what it used to be. Sometimes it needs motivating. VMS02AnyNPCAboutNCR Ain't that a coincidence! My mind's still hazy on the subject. VMS02AnyNPCAboutNCR I wouldn't know anything about that, dear. You might ask Johnson. VMS02AnyNPCAboutNCR I might know something. 'Bout 100 caps worth of something, let's say? VMS02AnyNPCAboutNCR What a coincidence! I'd still like my 100 caps! VMS02AnyNPCAboutNCR I wouldn't know anything about that, dear. You might ask Johnson. VMS02AnyNPCAboutNCR Military operations are classified information. The brass is familiar with the situation at the NCRCF. VMS02AnyNPCAboutNCR Military operations are classified information. VMS02AnyNPCAboutNCR I have no idea. I just go and do what they tell me. VMS02AnyNPCAboutNCR I would certainly hope that someone should handle it! Not that they tell me anything. VMS02AnyNPCAboutNCR We'd be the last to know. VMS02AnyNPCAboutNCR I hope they do, but I haven't heard nothing. VMS02AnyNPCAboutNCR Your guess's as good as mine. Probably better. VMS02AnyNPCAboutNCR There's a prison north of here? Well, don't go picking up any hitchhikers and you should be all right. VMS02MerchantGimmeCaps {Male PC}It's about time one of you guys showed up - I've been waiting long enough. The NCR will probably give me a nice bounty for your corpse. VMS02MerchantGimmeCaps {Female PC}Huh - didn't know there were women Powder Gangers. Oh, well - the NCR will still give me a nice bounty for your corpse. VMS02MerchantLeave Uh, you know, just filling up water and stuff. VMS02VMS02WaterMerchantTopic000 Watch your back out there. VMS02VMS02WaterMerchantTopic001 No, but there really ought to be. I'm just taking the initiative, is all. VMS02VMS02WaterMerchantTopic002 Nope, not going to be that easy. VMS02VMS02WaterMerchantTopic003 Well, you see, I... fuck. I'm really a bounty hunter trying to catch some Powder Gangers, but they probably saw through me, just like you did. VMS02VMS02WaterMerchantTopic003 I've been hanging around hoping to ambush some of them, but haven't had any success. VMS02VMS02WaterMerchantTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] Hmmm... that's a good point. Sorry I, uh, tried to ambush you there. No hard feelings, I hope. VMS02VMS02WaterMerchantTopic004 [FAILED] I don't think it's a waste of time. A handful of dead Powder Gangers ought to get the NCR to cough up some caps. VMS02VMS02WaterMerchantTopic005 Not a whole gang or anything - just two, maybe three. I was a caravan guard, so I know how to handle a gun pretty well. VMS02VMS02WaterMerchantTopic006 We'll see about that. VMS02VMS02WaterMerchantTopic007 [SUCCEEDED] Guess I was a little too obvious. I'm actually a bounty hunter - I was hoping to bag some Powder Gangers if they tried to rob me. VMS02VMS02WaterMerchantTopic007 [FAILED] Yeah, I'm a merchant, just like I said. VMS02VMS02WaterMerchantTopic008 Yeah, was a stupid idea, anyway. See you around. VMS02VMS02WaterMerchantTopic009 Like I'd hang around to find out! VMS03ARCHIMEDESIIConcluded This concludes our firing test of the ARCHIMEDES I and II laser systems. Thank you for observing Poseidon Energy safety protocol. Have a nice day. VMS03ARCHIMEDESIICountdown ARCHIMEDES II orbital laser bombardment will commence in T-minus 5... 4... 3... 2... 1. VMS03FantasticAttack Newsflash. Fantastic is irreplaceable. VMS03FantasticDivertedPower Whoa, really? Ho, shit! I knew I could do it. Those NCR pricks can all get on their knees and worship at the altar of fucking Fantastic! VMS03FantasticDivertedPower But don't worry, I'll tell them what you did for me, man. Not all of it, though. They'd think I was an idiot. But some of it. VMS03FantasticDivertedPower Keep at it, man. One day you could end up where I am. You never know. VMS03FantasticHereForYourJob Ah, shit. Shit, man. I need this. Gotta pay the bills. And I'm addicted to a lot of different kinds of chems. I mean a lot. VMS03FantasticHereForYourJob Ah, shit, man. You're direct, you're no-nonsense. How am I supposed to compete with that? I gotta pay these chem bills. VMS03FantasticHowGetJob It was easy, man. They were going door to door asking if anyone knew any scientists. I said look no further. VMS03FantasticHowGetJob They asked me if I knew anything about power plants. I said as much as anyone I'd ever met. VMS03FantasticHowGetJob They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I said I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard. VMS03FantasticIAmNow Well hey, if you find yourself up at the mainframe, do yourself a favor and make sure you send the power to the right place. VMS03FantasticIAmNow It needs to go to the Strip and McCarran. VMS03FantasticJob What else? I'm in charge. This whole operation depends on me. No Fantastic, no power. Got the whole NCR suckling my teats, and it feels so good. VMS03FantasticNoIdeaWhatYoureDoing No, man. I know exactly what I'm doing. I just don't know what effect it's going to have. VMS03FantasticNoIdeaWhatYoureDoing Over there controls power in this building. That station has readouts on the computer network. VMS03FantasticNoIdeaWhatYoureDoing That big knob there makes a crazy noise. Sparks come out of that slot if you put stuff in it. And I'm learning more every day. VMS03FantasticNotGoingToRetarget Ah well. Guess I'll have to wait for the next curious sucker. VMS03FantasticPayoff [SUCCEEDED] Aw, man. How am I supposed to buy chems now? Fine. Here. VMS03FantasticPayoff [FAILED] Ha! You had me going for a second there. Then I remembered that there's only one Fantastic. I'm king of this dump. VMS03FantasticRetarget There's these two terminals outside. They control the mirrors. I tried fooling with them but didn't get very far. VMS03FantasticRetarget You'd have to get them to talk to the mainframe up in the tower, then do the rest from up there. I'm guessing. But it sounds good, right? VMS03FantasticRetarget Hey, you're not thinking of going up there, are you? VMS03FantasticSettleDown Damn right, you're not. Goddamn right. Why would they? You can't top this guy. Just a little more time. You can't keep Fantastic down for long. VMS03FantasticSettleDown Damn right, you're not. Goddamn right. Why would they? You can't top this guy. Just a little more time. You can't keep Fantastic down for long. VMS03FantasticStripMcCarran Because I get paid, that's why. Per kilowatt-hour, whatever the hell that is. That's where the NCR wants the power, so that's where I want it. VMS03FantasticStripMcCarran But you know, you do that, maybe I put in a good word for you with them. Fantastic's little helper. There's a reputation you can hang your hat on. VMS03FantasticTopic000 What's it look like, man? I'm fucking king of the NCR. Caesar's Legion has Caesar, the NCR's got Fantastic. It's Fantastic's NCR now. VMS03FantasticTopic000 This whole war's about power, man. Caesar wants it. NCR wants it. Fantastic's got it. VMS03FantasticTopic000 After I fixed HELIOS One and basically saved the NCR from the dumbshits who run it, I got myself a little promotion. Now I run the whole shebang. VMS03FantasticTopic001 Whoa, hey. All right, man. It's cool. Who said anything about being your master? VMS03FantasticTopic001 I'm just the guy who tells you to do the stuff you do before you do it. VMS03FantasticTopic002 Man, what aren't my responsibilities? Dam overflow, dam underflow. Dam leakage. Sometimes the dam gets too big and I have to shrink it down. VMS03FantasticTopic002 People come to me to resolve their disputes with my wisdom. VMS03FantasticTopic002 Like, hey Fantastic, who gets to keep this doodad we found? Or, yo, Fantastic, when will you accept that you're the father of my child? It's crazy. VMS03FantasticTopic003 They sure as shit did. I mean there's still formalities, like I have to run everything by Lawson before I do it. VMS03FantasticTopic003 But do I ever do that? Is his name Fantastic? VMS03FantasticTopic004 No, man. That's just what I'm supposed to do. VMS03FantasticTopic004 But when he tells me to push the middle button to divert the intake, and the right button feels nicer when I touch it, I know where my loyalty is. VMS03FantasticTopic004 Man, I just don't know how an idiot like that gets put in charge of anything. VMS03FantasticTopic006 Man, I don't even know. It's crazy. VMS03FantasticTopic007 Shh. You feel that? That's the winds of change, baby, and Fantastic's riding them with his magic angel wings. VMS03FantasticTopic007 They saw the shit I did for the NCR, how I carried them on my back, brought fire to the heathens. I wasn't gonna help them but they begged. VMS03FantasticTopic007 Well, somebody begged. Couldn't say who for sure. It's all a blur, you know? Chems, man. What a trip. VMS03FantasticTopic008 I'm working on some top secret shit I can't even tell you about, it's so mind-blowing. VMS03FantasticTopic008 But here's a little taste. You know how you can only collect sunlight during the day? What if you could make it daytime all the time? VMS03FantasticTopic008 Crazy, right? Or is it? I'm gonna find somebody smart and ask him that question, see what he says. It'll be fucking intense. VMS03FantasticTryingToAccomplish Well, see, we're getting power, because the guy running this place is Fantastic. VMS03FantasticTryingToAccomplish But the mirrors outside aren't aimed right, so we're running at one percent efficiency. And I guess that just isn't good enough for some assholes. VMS03FantasticTryingToAccomplish Trouble is, most of the controls for this place aren't here - they're in the tower. VMS03FantasticTryingToAccomplish And that place has some crazy Pre-War security system that the dumbshit NCR set off when they took over. Killed two guys. Now they won't go near it. VMS03FantasticTryingToAccomplish They want me to make an omelet, but I can't break any of their eggs, know what I'm saying? VMS03FantasticWhatExactlyDoYouDo Fuck, man. Everything. I push buttons. I turn dials. I read numbers. Sometimes I make up little stories in my head about what the numbers mean. VMS03FantasticWhatExactlyDoYouDo Like one time I imagined they were a code to get into a vault full of naked women. Man, how cool would that be? VMS03FantasticWorried Worried? Do I look worried to you? I've got this under control, baby. No one else can do what I do here. VMS03HaggertyBrother [SUCCEEDED] I wish I could tell you, but we've had so many replacements lately I couldn't be sure. Go in and look around if you want. VMS03HaggertyBrother Try not to make any trouble. VMS03HaggertyBrother [FAILED] Sorry. No civilians inside. I can't start making exceptions now. VMS03HaggertyBrother Best you can do is talk to someone at the station where your brother enlisted. VMS03HaggertyEnterPlant Why would I want to let you do that? VMS03HaggertyFrontLines I ask myself the same question all the time. But energy is hard to come by around here. Gives you more control over this area than troops ever could. VMS03HaggertyFrontLines Hell, if we lose the dam to the Legion, this little plant may be our last stand. VMS03HaggertyHungry I can't tell whether you're joking or radiation melted part of your brain, but either way I don't see a good reason to let you through. VMS03HaggertyIDontHaveOne I'm glad we sorted this out. VMS03HaggertyInvestigate Or you're a Legion spy trying to infiltrate our perimeter. Give me one good reason I should let you through. VMS03HaggertyMorePeopleDefending There should. But we're not getting much power out of it so none of our enemies have a big interest in it either. Not like Hoover Dam, anyway. VMS03HaggertyMorePeopleDefending We had a real fighting force here just long enough to take it from the Brotherhood of Steel. Then they got sent east to the dam like everybody else. VMS03HaggertyMorePeopleDefending Caesar's Legion sends skirmishers every so often. Prodding for weaknesses, mostly. The reality is, if they really wanted it, we'd all be dead. VMS03HaggertyPublicProperty This is NCR property and we have guns. So you can only do as we please here. And it would please us if you got the hell off our lawn. VMS03HaggertySolarTower No need. We already have an expert hard at work on it. VMS03HaggertySolarTower Then again... our expert is an idiot. Hell, he might as well be a saboteur. I guess you couldn't do any worse. VMS03HaggertySolarTower Have him fill you in on the details. He's in the back of the building. You'll know him when you see him. VMS03HaggertySolarTower Keeps his sunglasses on all the time, even when he's sleeping. Idiot. VMS03HaggertyStayWhereYouAre Stay where you are. You're not allowed in there. This is your only warning. VMS03HaggertyTakingOver We've held off tougher enemies than you. VMS03HaggertyWithNCR Your being here is a start, soldier. We aren't exactly overflowing with troopers here. VMS03HaggertyWithNCR But if you really want to help us, talk to the idiot with sunglasses in the back of the plant building. VMS03HaggertyWithNCR He's been trying to get this place running for months and hasn't made any forward progress. VMS03HaggertyWithNCR [SUCCEEDED] Your being here is a start, soldier. We aren't exactly overflowing with troopers here. VMS03HaggertyWithNCR But if you really want to help us, talk to the idiot with sunglasses in the back of the plant building. VMS03HaggertyWithNCR He's been trying to get this place running for months and hasn't made any forward progress. VMS03HaggertyWithNCR [FAILED] That uniform's got an awful lot of blood on it, soldier, and you don't look injured to me. Doesn't fit you so well either. VMS03HaggertyWithNCR You're trying to put one over on the wrong trooper. VMS03HELIOSOneReflectorWarning Warning. Retargeting sequence initiated for HELIOS One reflector banks. VMS03HELIOSOneReflectorWarning The ARCHIMEDES laser systems will automatically initiate test fire upon completion. VMS03HeliosOneWarning1 Attention. ARCHIMEDES I Laser is now armed. Move all personnel to minimum safe distance before initiating test fire. VMS03IgnacioArchimedesIsAWeapon Yes. And the technology they have in this facility is like nothing I've seen. Some of it reminds me of Enclave equipment, but more advanced. VMS03IgnacioArchimedesIsAWeapon A weapon based upon it would be catastrophic, no matter who claimed it. VMS03IgnacioArchimedesIsAWeapon It's no wonder the Brotherhood wouldn't give it up. VMS03IgnacioDivertedPower I saw that on the monitors here. And you sent it to everyone. Very admirable. VMS03IgnacioDivertedPower Now that the NCR has more or less what they want, hopefully their curiosity about the plant is satisfied and they'll dig no deeper. VMS03IgnacioDivertedPower The Followers will be grateful. Here, take these, as a parting gift. I hope you'll find them useful. VMS03IgnacioDivertedPower I saw that on the monitors here. And you sent it to Freeside, where power is in short supply. A respectable decision. VMS03IgnacioDivertedPower Now that the NCR has more or less what they want, hopefully their curiosity about the plant is satisfied and they'll dig no deeper. VMS03IgnacioDivertedPower The Followers will be grateful. Here, take these, as a parting gift. I hope you'll find them useful. VMS03IgnacioDivertedPower I saw that on the monitors here. It's strange, but I can't find where on the grid the power is being sent to. VMS03IgnacioDivertedPower Nevertheless, hopefully the NCR's curiosity is satisfied now that the plant's output is improved. Here, accept these, for your efforts. VMS03IgnacioDrifter I see. Then you must have some special business here, for them to have let you through. VMS03IgnacioInterestScientific Then we have that in common. Whom do you typically work with? VMS03IgnacioKeepPeace That's reassuring, although many who've made that claim to the Followers of the Apocalypse over the years have had less than pure intentions. VMS03IgnacioKeepPeace But if it's really as you say, then take my advice. This installation carries with it dangers that no one here has realized. VMS03IgnacioKeepPeace Take care what you do here, and who you listen to. Some things are best left buried with the old world. VMS03IgnacioKeepPeace That's reassuring, although many who've made that claim over the years have had less than pure intentions.

VMS03IgnacioKeepPeace Take care what you do here, and who you listen to. Some things are best left buried with the old world. VMS03IgnacioMoreAboutFollowers Humanity lost many things after the war. Methods of agriculture, techniques for survival. VMS03IgnacioMoreAboutFollowers We took it upon ourselves to piece together this knowledge and bring it back to them. VMS03IgnacioNCRDoesntKnow Not yet. By some miracle they've hired an imbecile to try and decipher the systems here. VMS03IgnacioNCRDoesntKnow He's spent months working at one console trying to get the solar reflectors to track the sun. VMS03IgnacioNCRDoesntKnow What he doesn't know is that the only thing the console controls is the plant's intercom system. VMS03IgnacioNCRDoesntKnow I tried to tell him, but he insisted that the largest console had to be the most important. Still, it's only a matter of time. VMS03IgnacioNCREnlistedMe Then I would say do it. As long as the power of this plant is committed to the regional grid and not to a weapon, we are safe. VMS03IgnacioNCREnlistedMe If you are the one to restore output, then you can route the power where you choose, and they'll never be the wiser. VMS03IgnacioNCREnlistedMe I can't get you past the security in the tower, but I can be of some help. VMS03IgnacioNCREnlistedMe I've discovered a password for one of the mirror control terminals outside. You'll need it. VMS03IgnacioNCREnlistedMe They're playing you for a fool. You'll die in that tower, just like their soldiers did. Why do you think they haven't taken care of this themselves? VMS03IgnacioNCRWantsHelp Interesting. Forgive me for prying, but I'm curious. Are you with a particular group? VMS03IgnacioNotYourConcern Interesting. Forgive me for prying, but I'm curious. Are you with a particular group? VMS03IgnacioOverloaded So I saw. Shame to let the energy go to waste, but on the other hand, now we can rest easy. Here, accept these, for your efforts. VMS03IgnacioPeace That's reassuring, although many who've made that claim to the Followers of the Apocalypse over the years have had less than pure intentions. VMS03IgnacioPeace But if it's really as you say, then take my advice. This installation carries with it dangers that no one here has realized.

This installation carries with it dangers that no one here has realized. VMS03IgnacioPeace Take care what you do here, and who you listen to. Some things are best left buried with the old world. VMS03IgnacioRivasTopic000 You're right. I'm sorry. That imbecile in the next room has me on edge. I used to be more fun. VMS03IgnacioRivasTopic000 I'm still passionate about my work though. Otherwise I wouldn't be here. VMS03IgnacioRivasTopic000 I'm in the Followers of the Apocalypse. How about you? VMS03IgnacioRivasTopic001 We're scattered, mostly. We go where we're needed. Our largest presence is in Freeside at Old Mormon Fort. VMS03IgnacioRivasTopic001 Other than that, I know Dr. Usanagi set up a practice near the Crimson Caravan. And a man we trained is operating out of the Aerotech building. VMS03IgnacioRivasTopic001 Another man, Tom Anderson, was looking into water supply problems in Westside. But that was a while ago. VMS03IgnacioRivasTopic002 We did, for a time. But our goals differ. The NCR only cares to expand their wealth and their reach. VMS03IgnacioRivasTopic002 For us, territorial boundaries mean nothing. And prosperity has to be for everyone, not just citizens of the NCR. VMS03IgnacioRivasTopic002 So a parting was inevitable. While the NCR pushes east, we clean up the mess they leave behind. Try to provide some stability. VMS03IgnacioRivasTopic003 Other things weren't lost, but were blocked from our collective memory. Knowledge of what we're capable of, and how things spiral out of control. VMS03IgnacioRivasTopic003 It's in our nature to want to forget truths that keep us awake at night. VMS03IgnacioRivasTopic003 And for that reason it's all the more important that the Followers walk the wastes to remind people of them. VMS03IgnacioRivasTopic004 By all means. VMS03IgnacioRivasTopic005 I would think you'd know better than I. But perhaps they kept their operation here a secret, even from members of their own order. VMS03IgnacioRivasTopic005 They weren't here for me to ask, but I doubt they were here for electricity. VMS03IgnacioRivasTopic005 When the NCR first came here, it was under Brotherhood control. They usually steer clear of one another, but something here changed their minds. VMS03IgnacioRivasTopic005 The Brotherhood's interest in Pre-War technology has always been in weapons. It's likely they were trying to reclaim ARCHIMEDES when the NCR arrived. VMS03IgnacioRivasTopic006 Keeping watch, mostly. Trying to make sure the dangers of this plant are minimized. VMS03IgnacioSoldier Well that explains it. NCR? Who do you fight for? VMS03IgnacioTryNotToGetInvolved Ah, but there's no avoiding it. You can only outrun the choice for so long. VMS03IgnacioTryNotToGetInvolved Take now, for instance. You are inside a facility with lost technology, some of it very dangerous. VMS03IgnacioTryNotToGetInvolved Unless you turn and leave right now, you'll be very much involved in the lives of people you've never seen or met. VMS03IgnacioWantWhatYouWant That's reassuring, although many who've made that claim over the years have had less than pure intentions. VMS03IgnacioWantWhatYouWant But if it's really as you say, then take my advice. This installation carries with it dangers that no one here has realized. VMS03IgnacioWantWhatYouWant Take care what you do here, and who you listen to. Some things are best left buried with the old world. VMS03IgnacioWar That's... an unfortunate mistake. VMS03IgnacioWar As a Follower of the Apocalypse, I've studied it all my life, but I'll never understand how people don't foresee what lies ahead on that path. VMS03IgnacioWar That's... an unfortunate mistake. VMS03IgnacioWar I've studied it all my life, but I'll never understand how people don't foresee what lies ahead on that path. VMS03IgnacioWhatMoreThanAPlant I don't entirely know. Our records on the company that built this place suggest that their dealings were not only in energy, but also in weapons. VMS03IgnacioWhatMoreThanAPlant And I've seen equipment here marked with symbols used by the Pre-War military. Targeting computers. Shock sensors. VMS03IgnacioWhatMoreThanAPlant A codeword comes up repeatedly in the papers I've looked through here. ARCHIMEDES. VMS03IgnacioWhereRoutePower Oh, the NCR has their own designs for it, no doubt. But resist the urge to send it only to the thriving communities. VMS03IgnacioWhereRoutePower The need for power is great everywhere. Distributing it evenly is the most rational and humane choice. VMS03IgnacioWhyAreYouHere I was sent here when we saw that the NCR had taken it. We have no record of the facility, but its original builders were cause for concern. VMS03IgnacioWhyAreYouHere I'm to determine the threat level of this place and do everything in my power to prevent the revival of any dangerous Pre-War technology. VMS03IgnacioWhyAreYouHere The NCR let me stay because they are desperate for answers about this place, but I've kept them in the dark. VMS03IgnacioWhyAreYouHere I'm a visiting scholar. Solar power technology may be important to our future and I was sent to research it. VMS03IgnacioWhyTrustMe I'm a man of letters. I'd be torn to pieces by the security system they have in that tower. I'd never reach the mainframe. VMS03IgnacioWhyTrustMe But eventually the NCR will, or if not them, Caesar's Legion. They will use this place for war. VMS03IgnacioWhyTrustMe Because the possibility exists you might do anything else, you're the only choice I have. VMS03IgnacioWithBrotherhood The Brotherhood? I never thought I'd say it, but I'm glad you're here. VMS03IgnacioWithBrotherhood I'm a member of the Followers of the Apocalypse, and for once we might want the same thing. VMS03IgnacioWithBrotherhood This place houses technology beyond anything I've seen. I'm afraid it could be dangerous if either of the warring factions here learns how to use it. VMS03IgnacioWithBrotherhood The Brotherhood? I never thought I'd say it, but I'm glad you're here. For once our organizations may want the same thing. VMS03IgnacioWithBrotherhood This place houses technology beyond anything I've seen. I'm afraid it could be dangerous if either of the warring factions here learns how to use it. VMS03IgnacioWithLegion Then may you die in his service. I have nothing to say to you. VMS03IgnacioWithNCR That makes sense. It is their facility, after all. At least as long as they can hold it. As for me, I'm with the Followers of the Apocalypse. VMS03IgnacioWithNoOne Then for everyone's sake, I hope you serve a worthy master. Are you a maker of war, or peace? VMS03IgnacioYouFirst [SUCCEEDED] Very well. Yes. I'm part of the Followers of the Apocalypse. VMS03IgnacioYouFirst If you're not familiar, we seek peace and the spread of knowledge. Knowledge that must never be lost to the world. VMS03IgnacioYouFirst Now your turn. VMS03IgnacioYouFirst [FAILED] I would, but I wouldn't want to influence your answer. VMS03LtHaggertyTopic000 Yeah, they were here a while ago. Gave them all I could, which wasn't much. But as many problems as we're having here, I know they've got it worse. VMS03LtHaggertyTopic000 I've seen soldiers get assigned there. It's like they got told they were gonna die. I wouldn't wish it on anybody. VMS03LtHaggertyTopic000 If you're trying to track them down, we put a GPS marker in the supply crate. You can track it with your Pip-Boy. Good luck. VMS03LtHaggertyTopic001 {Slightly fearful}Jesus. You're a real goddamn psycho. VMS03LtHaggertyTopic003 Damned if I know. Put up a hell of a fight, though. We had them outnumbered, I don't know, twenty to one, maybe. VMS03LtHaggertyTopic003 They held out as long as they could. Lost most of their force before they retreated. Gave us a little parting gift, too. VMS03LtHaggertyTopic003 They had some of the plant running, but they shut it all down. Enabled an old security system, too, to keep us away from the controls. Jerkoffs. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic000 Wonderful! Straight to it, then. Have you signed the release forms? No? Doesn't matter - we'll keep that to ourselves. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic000 Vault 22... where to begin... VMS06ThomasHildernTopic001 No, they wouldn't have briefed you, would they? Probably better that our junior fellows stay within the bounds of their pay grade, anyway. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic002 Wrong turn? Happens all the time. Do they give me a secretary? Of course not. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic003 Your concerns are perfectly understandable, but I assure you, they're entirely misplaced. We would never use a technology that wasn't fully tested. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic003 We aren't some motley band of Vault alchemists. We're with the government, for goodness sake. Have a little faith in us! VMS06ThomasHildernTopic004 [FAILED] If you are unhappy with the terms of our agreement, then consider this an object lesson. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic004 In the future, I'm sure you'll consider your agreements and contracts more carefully. Now, here is the sum we agreed to. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic004 Of course, we're very grateful for your efforts, and I'll make certain that you're credited in our final report. Good day to you. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic005 Ha ha! A mercenary, is that it? You won't be disappointed, I promise you. The Office of Science and Industry provides highly competitive benefits. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic005 And as an external contractor, your pay would be... rather more competitive than those of our regular employees. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic005 But we should keep that to ourselves, don't you think? VMS06ThomasHildernTopic005 So... how about I tell you what we need, and then you can tell me whether you're up to it? No pressure, of course. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic006 Skepticism can be forgiven. But I think you'll come around... if the reports I've heard are true. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic007 I'm very sorry to hear that. If you should change your mind, the offer will stand. As will the substantial reward... VMS06ThomasHildernTopic008 Naturally! Take all the time you need. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic008 I assure you, the OSI places considerable value upon our contractors. We will take good care of you, should you decide to accept our offer. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic009 Of course not! You're obviously a busy man. But if life should... quiet down a bit... I'm certain we can find a place for you here. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic009 Of course not! I can see you're a woman of consequence. But if life should... quiet down a bit... I'm certain we can find a place for you here. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic010 Imagine, if you will, the wasteland in bloom... vast fields of corn that grow from seeds and produce their bounty in the space of a month... VMS06ThomasHildernTopic010 ...orchards of trees, their branches weighed halfway to the ground, hung with fat, ripe oranges. A harvest that could feed a city... or a nation. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic010 And all this... all this... requiring no more than a few of drops of precious water, and the efforts of only a handful of human farmers. Impossible? VMS06ThomasHildernTopic011 All right. Straight to the point. I believe that the inhabitants of Vault 22 unlocked the secrets of vegetative growth. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic011 Plants are spilling from their gate. No one tends them. No one waters them. Yet they multiply and spread in all directions. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic011 Find the reason for this miraculous growth, and I promise you, the OSI will see that you are generously compensated. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic012 A realist. We have that in common. A year ago, I'd have said the same. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic012 But what if I was to tell you that the wasteland can yield an endless bounty, and that the secret may lie a mere few miles from where we stand... VMS06ThomasHildernTopic012 We need only reach out and take it. And for that, I need you. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic013 Precisely. Science has proven that truth a thousand times over, but how many wasteland savages believe it? Present company excepted, of course. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic013 The bounty I described to you is no idle fantasy. It exists, in primitive form, only a few miles from where we stand. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic013 We need only reach out and unlock its secret. For that, the OSI needs you. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic014 Fair enough. My point is this. I believe that the inhabitants of Vault 22 unlocked the secrets of vegetative growth. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic015 Good. No need to check in with the NCR authorities, I can authorize your payment from OSI accounts. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic015 Vaults typically contain a server room on a lower level, where they would have backed up their research data. A computer room, you understand? VMS06ThomasHildernTopic015 Download all the information on the central server to your Pip-Boy. And you'll be certain to bring me any notes or samples that you find, won't you? VMS06ThomasHildernTopic016 Very well. I hope you'll consider this an open offer from the OSI. Now, I'm sure your time is valuable, so unless there was anything else... VMS06ThomasHildernTopic017 Yes... goodbye. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic018 The Office of Science and Industry. That's a rather expansive topic. I could talk for hours, but I'm sure I'd bore you. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic018 Suffice to say, we are the leading edge of the NCR. Our work focuses on practical matters. Medicine, engineering, biology. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic018 The Dam, for instance. OSI routes its energy supply to our cities in the west. That's only one responsibility of this office. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic019 I thought it was a fairly straightforward assignment. It's a simple question of retrieving the data, which shouldn't prove overly challenging. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic019 Downloading the data will be handled by your Pip-Boy. You might think of yourself as a mere means of conveyance. No insult intended, of course. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic020 Oh? What might those be? VMS06ThomasHildernTopic024 Good! I thought I sensed a kindred soul in you, beneath the wasteland veneer. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic025 Isn't it? One directs one's efforts - or the efforts of others - toward a goal, and progress is made. It's a matter of incentives, nothing more. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic027 I believe that the inhabitants of Vault 22 unlocked the secrets of vegetative growth. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic028 [FAILED] No, I'm sure I won't require your services in the future. The OSI does not enter into long-term arrangements with its contractors. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic028 Of course, we're all very grateful for your efforts, and I'll make certain that you're credited in our final report. Good day to you. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic030 Wonderful! Excellent work! Let me see it... it'll take a moment to decode on my terminal... VMS06ThomasHildernTopic031 You won't keep me in suspense for long, I hope? Of course I can't authorize any payments until I have the data in hand... VMS06ThomasHildernTopic032 I think... Williams' decryption algorithms seem to be working... VMS06ThomasHildernTopic032 Yes... here it is! The data is mostly uncorrupted. This will make the board of directors finally sit up and take notice... VMS06ThomasHildernTopic032 Here, then... as promised. An agreeable sum, payable upon delivery of the data. You've more than done your part. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic033 Didn't I? Did you encounter undue difficulties? Clearly not, or you wouldn't be standing here, would you? VMS06ThomasHildernTopic033 All that matters is whether the data is intact... VMS06ThomasHildernTopic038 I knew you were a reasonable person. Here you are... our agreed-upon sum. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic041 A pleasure working with you, really! I'll make certain that you're mentioned in the final report, you have my word on it. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic042 You want to renegotiate your contract. Mm. This is a very serious matter, you do understand that, don't you? VMS06ThomasHildernTopic042 I realize that one's word counts for little in the wasteland, but amongst civilized people, one doesn't just... demand more than one has agreed to. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic043 If the data's intact, you'll get your reward. I gave my word. I'm not the kind of wasteland savage you're used to dealing with. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic044 I'm sorry you feel that way. But we both came out ahead, so... no harm done, I hope. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic045 [SUCCEEDED] Now... wait a minute... VMS06ThomasHildernTopic046 [SUCCEEDED] You're saying that I didn't file the proper paperwork, is that it? I suppose you're an expert on NCR procedures? VMS06ThomasHildernTopic049 I never said you were. You've been speaking to Williams, haven't you? VMS06ThomasHildernTopic050 I don't see how that's relevant. The dangers of the Vault were your business, not mine. The only question is whether the data is still intact. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic050 Was it? I'm sure I made it very clear... the hazards of the job were your business, not mine. The important question is whether this data is intact. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic052 Fair enough. Begging your pardon, but this is beginning to feel like an interrogation. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic053 All right. I'll take you at your word. Williams didn't say anything at all, you just came to this conclusion on your own. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic056 None at all. Informed speculation on my part. Williams is very good at her job, so it remains secure... despite her best efforts. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic056 No, you aren't the first person I've sent to the Vault. I'm sorry that I neglected to tell you, but I don't see how it makes any difference. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic058 Williams is an admirable researcher. If she wasn't, I'd have terminated her contract, and she'd be begging for work from my former employers. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic059 Yes. With the assistance of my team, of course. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic060 Not yet. But our government understands the value of proactive thought. Our studies project an imbalance between production and consumption. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic060 Or, for a layman such as yourself - not enough food, too many mouths to feed. Mass starvation. In a decade or so. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic062 Directly? No. But we attempt to maximize its output. You have no idea how difficult it is to provide power to an entire nation. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic062 Fortunately, we also have the HELIOS One facility. One of our external contractors recently got the station up and running. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic062 Fortunately, we also have the HELIOS One facility. One of our external contractors recently got the station up and running. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic062 We were starting to bring the HELIOS One facility online, as well. That might have increased our power output by half. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic062 But some wasteland scum managed to sabotage the array. Probably got quite a laugh at our expense. Very funny indeed. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic062 I'd pay a year's salary for a crack at that maniac. Not that he'd ever show his face in a place like this. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic062 We were starting to bring the HELIOS One facility online, as well. That might have increased our power output by half.

VMS06ThomasHildernTopic062 I'd pay a year's salary for a crack at that maniac. Not that she'd ever show her face in a place like this. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic062 Our efforts at HELIOS One held a great deal of promise, until some drifter blew in from the waste and managed to reroute the power. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic062 As to where the power is going... who knows. Can you imagine? A drifter outsmarting professional scientists? Only in New Vegas. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic062 We'd hoped that HELIOS One would boost power to McCarran and Vegas. Then some damned crusader routed all the power to Freeside. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic062 I also have high hopes for our HELIOS One facility. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the two scientists" who are working there." VMS06ThomasHildernTopic062 So far, they've only managed to achieve one percent power output. I'd send help, if I could spare the personnel. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic062 His name was something like... Exceptional" or "Marvelous" or..." VMS06ThomasHildernTopic062 That's the trouble with this wasteland - too many damned variables. No one can account for them all. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic063 Yes! That was it, exactly. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic064 I... see. Of course you did. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic065 I'd have to consult my records. Eight? Ten? Your point is what? VMS06ThomasHildernTopic066 You want certainty? You'll never find it... especially not in the pursuit of science. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic067 Do whatever you think is best. You're under no obligations. If you want the caps, you'll complete the job. Simple. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic067 Take my advice. Forget about Williams. She's a talented researcher, but she doesn't understand people, and she can't see the big picture. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic067 Now, I know your time is valuable, so I won't waste any more of it. Feel free to show yourself out... VMS06ThomasHildernTopic068 [SUCCEEDED] All right. I'll admit that it's been difficult to find anyone willing to enter the Vault. And I'd rather get the data sooner than later. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic068 You have a deal. I'll double your reward, if you bring me the data. But this is as high as my budget will allow. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic071 I have no evidence that they're dead. A thousand things could have happened between here and the Vault. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic071 They could have changed their minds and walked away. I wouldn't be much of a scientist if I leapt to conclusions without proof. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic072 [FAILED] No. Our agreement was very specific. You bring me the data, I give you a reward. VMS06ThomasHildernTopic072 We never discussed the dangers. That's your business, not mine. If you can't provide the data, I'm sure I'll find someone who can. VMS06Topic000 There's... there's no need to do anything rash. Naturally, OSI would be willing to negotiate for exclusive rights to that data. VMS06Topic000 Here. Take these caps. That's all of my contracting budget, and it's yours. VMS06Topic000 Now, I've... got to get back to work. I'm sure you understand. Exit's over there, you can show yourself out. VMS06Topic001 Director of the entire OSI? Me? If I didn't know better, I'd say you were trying to plant seditious ideas in my head. Ha ha ha. VMS06Topic001 No, I direct our eastern operations. I've been responsible for squeezing unprecedented levels of power from the Dam. VMS06Topic001 I'm also confronting the problem of food production, in what little spare time I have. But I've found some promising leads. VMS06Topic002 All right. Fair enough. No need to bring the military into this matter - it's between the two of us, after all. VMS07AndersKey Daniel. Probably find him back in the Residential Wing somewhere. VMS07DoctorBag How's it look, doc? VMS07FiendRadio We have a Khan coming through to see the boss. Don't shoot at her. VMS07FiendRadio We have a Khan coming through to see the boss. Don't shoot at him. VMS07Greeting This is what I been waiting to see! A big bad Khan bringing in the medicine! How about you toss some psycho my way? VMS07Greeting What the fuck are you doing here? You got some kind of fucking death wish, asshole? VMS07Greeting I wasn't expecting a resupply so soon, so you have anything from Red Rock Canyon to sell me? VMS07Greeting NCR? Here? Not for long. VMS07Greeting How the hell did you get in here? Where the fuck are my guards? VMS07Greeting Take down this password, it'll get you into the Overseer's area upstairs I think. VMS07Greeting Thanks for the help. We'll find our own way out. VMS07Greeting Thanks for the help. We'll find our own way out. VMS07Greeting Thanks for the help. We'll find our own way out. VMS07Greeting Thanks for the help. We'll find our own way out. VMS07Greeting Thanks for the assistance taking out Motor-Runner. I'll be heading back to McCarran. I'll put in a good word for you. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic000 Hsu sent you? This was my mission! VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic000 He sent you? Why? VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic001 What are you looking to find out? VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic002 Make yourself scarce. If you get yourself in trouble, I'm not going to cover your back. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic003 Why I'm here is my business. If you don't have a question for me then get lost. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic004 The Fiends killed everyone living here, and now they are squatting in their home. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic005 This was Vault 3, but I'm sure you can tell that by all the 3s all over the damn place. Now it is a drug den for the goddamn Fiends. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic006 The Fiends are degenerate drug addicts who kill and rape for fun, basically. They're human garbage - though I'm not sure about the human part. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic007 You can go back to old Hsu and tell him that the mission will be completed. I just need a couple more days. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic008 Is that right? And what sort of support, exactly, is it that you have to offer? VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic009 Good idea. Try not to get hurt out there. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic010 Yeah? Nice thought, but that's not my primary mission. If you want to go it solo, more power to you. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic011 [SUCCEEDED] I guess you're right. I won't be able to move fast, but I can more than hold my own in a firefight. Here, take the key... VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic011 Here, take this key to the Maintenance Wing. Should make getting to Motor-Runner a whole easier. I'll follow you down. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic011 [SUCCEEDED] I guess you're right. I won't be able to move fast, but I can more than hold my own in a firefight. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic011 Goddammit! Is there nothing I can't fuck up here? I've lost the goddamn key! VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic011 Well, this whole thing's improvised, and now we'll have to improvise some more and find another way through. I'll follow you down. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic011 [FAILED] Thanks for the offer - but the answer is no. Once my leg is healed up, I'll take care of Motor-Runner easily enough. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic012 Bad idea on all sorts of levels. Leave it to the professionals, kid. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic014 What's it look like? I caught one in the leg. I killed a dozen of those degenerates sneaking my way in... but one got a drop on me. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic014 I holed up in here after I killed that one. They're too stupid to unlock the doors, so I knew they'd figure whoever attacked had just taken off. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic014 I just need day or two and then I'll take out Motor-Runner myself. I even got the key to his Maintenance Wing. Situation's under control. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic015 [SUCCEEDED] Goddammit. I know. Was just hoping that, uh... VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic015 Are you trained as a doctor? Can you fix my leg? VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic015 [FAILED] The slug went straight through. I'm a goddamned NCR ranger, all right? I'm trained in first aid! VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic016 Goddammit. Fine. I'll head back. Are you saying you'll handle Motor-Runner yourself? VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic017 What are we waiting for? I've got a high-value target to kill! VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic017 Thanks, doc. The Fiends have got a ton of pharmaceuticals out there. Here's hoping a doctor's bag is in the mix. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic018 All right. Let me give you the key to the Maintenance Wing... VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic018 Goddammit! Is there nothing I can't fuck up here? I've lost the goddamn key! VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic018 I don't know what to say. You'll have to find your own way to get at that sick bastard. Hope to see you back at McCarran. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic018 Here, take this. It's the key to the Maintenance Wing. Should make getting to Motor-Runner that much easier. Good luck. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic019 Yeah? Well, there's a ton of pharmaceuticals out there. Maybe you can find one and bring it back to me. It'd be a great help... VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic020 You were warned! Time to die. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic021 Okay, but make it quick. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic022 Tell me why I should tell you anything. I don't know you. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic023 [SUCCEEDED] Oh, my apologies sir. I was sent here by Colonel Hsu to exterminate Motor-Runner, the leader of the Fiends. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic023 [FAILED] Your curiosity and a few caps will get you a rat on a stick, but it won't get you fuck all from me. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic024 Okay, what do you need? VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic024DUPLICATE000 Okay, what do you need? VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic025 Well, take this goddamn key anyways. It'll get you into the Maintenance Wing. Maybe you'll brave up and do the right thing. Good luck. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic025 Well, take this goddamn key anyways. It'll get you into the Maintenance Wing. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic025 Goddammit! Is there nothing I can't fuck up here? I've lost the goddamn key! VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic025 That's it. I'm heading for McCarran. Good luck to you. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic026 Okay, I'll follow you down to Motor-Runner. Here, take the key to the maintenance wing. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic026 Okay, I'll follow you down to Motor-Runner. Here, take the key to the maintenance wing. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic026 Crap, it looks like I may have lost it. I sure hope you have some way to get us through that door. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic026DUPLICATE000 Okay, I'll follow you down to Motor-Runner. Here, take the key to the maintenance wing. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic026DUPLICATE000 Okay, I'll follow you down to Motor-Runner. Here, take the key to the maintenance wing. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic026DUPLICATE000 Crap, it looks like I may have lost it. I sure hope you have some way to get us through that door. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic028 Really? It doesn't feel any better... but I'll take your word on it. Motor-Runner, here I come. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic028DUPLICATE000 Really? I didn't think my leg was up to full speed yet, but I'll take your word on it. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic028DUPLICATE000 I'll go take care of Motor-Runner. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic029 Thanks for the concern, doc. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic029 Roger that. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic029DUPLICATE000 Okay, thanks again for the medical care doc. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic029DUPLICATE000 Roger. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic030 They're a bunch of degenerate, drug-addicted killers and rapists who've turned the west side of Vegas into a war zone. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic030 Their leader calls himself Motor-Runner. He seems to be the only one who can still rub two brain cells together. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic030DUPLICATE000 The Fiends are a bunch of raider junkie fucks who have been causing a lot of trouble in the area outside of Vegas. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic030DUPLICATE000 Their leader calls himself Motor-Runner, and he seems to be the only one with a brain that isn't fully burnt out on chems. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic031 The inhabitants of the Vault were simple traders. They made a good living for themselves before they were all killed by the fiends. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic031DUPLICATE000 The inhabitants of the Vault were simple traders. They made a good living for themselves for a couple weeks. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic031DUPLICATE000 Then they caught the Fiends attention. I don't think they set up any kind of security, stupid fucks. They all got themselves killed. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic032 I was sent here to kill Motor-Runner, the leader of the Fiends. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic032 The NCR hopes that killing Motor-Runner will slow down the Fiends raiding in the area, at least until a new leader comes around.

VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic032DUPLICATE000 The NCR hopes that killing Motor-Runner will slow down the Fiends raiding in the area, at least until a new leader comes around. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic033 Like what? VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic033DUPLICATE000 Okay, tell me what's on your mind. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic034 Your talking slows my healing process. Be snappy about it. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic035 Roger that shit. Let's go. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic035DUPLICATE000 Okay, let's get him. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic036 Okay, I'll wait. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic036DUPLICATE000 Okay, I'll wait. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic037 I guess you probably can. You look tough enough at least. I'm not sure how long it'll take this leg to heal up. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic037 Sorry, no dice. I have a job to do, and it doesn't involve cleaning up after your mess. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic037DUPLICATE000 [SUCCEEDED] I guess you have a point. And I don't know how long it'll be before I'm on both feet... VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic037DUPLICATE000 [FAILED] It's not a matter of toughness, it's a matter of smarts. You'll just make a mess of things. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic037DUPLICATE000 But if you must get yourself killed, I heard a Fiend named Daniel saying he carries keys. Maybe he has a spare to the Maintenance Wing. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic038 Do you ever quit? Go on. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic039 See that you don't. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic039DUPLICATE000 First sensible thing I've heard you say. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic040 Be quick about it. VMS07V03BryceAndersTopic040DUPLICATE000 Be quick about it. VMS07V03FiendShooterTopic000 Yeah - fuck off, and be grateful you're still breathing! VMS07V03FiendShooterTopic001 Final warning, asshole. Get the fuck out of here or we are going to waste your ass. VMS07V03FiendShooterTopic002 All right, asshole, you just fucked yourself! VMS07V03FiendShooterTopic003 [FAILED] Who the fuck you trying to kid? You're lucky if I let you walk away from this, asshole. VMS07V03FiendShooterTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] If you're fucking carrying, just fucking say so. Yeah, deliver to the boss, business as usual. VMS07V03FiendShooterTopic003 Motor-Runner's down in the Maintenance Wing. Straight through the door behind me, down the hall, down the stairs to the right. VMS07V03FiendShooterTopic004 Hey! No need, no need! I was just kidding! VMS07V03FiendShooterTopic004 Motor-Runner's down in the Maintenance Wing. Straight through the door behind me, down the hall, down the stairs to the right. VMS07V03FiendShooterTopic004 I was just kidding about tossing me some Psycho. So you don't got to say anything about that. VMS07V03FiendShooterTopic005 Then what the fuck are you doing here? You looking to get killed? What the fuck? VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic000 I'm paying 20 caps each for Jet, Psycho, or Buffout. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic000 Deal is still the same, 20 caps each for jet, psycho, or buffout. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic000 Okay, our deal was Jet, Psycho, or Buffout for 22 caps a pop. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic001 Alright then, take my helmet and bring it to the NCR. That should be proof enough. This doesn't make us friends though. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic001 We don't offer protection services. That's not my racket. So if you find yourself dead on your way out that's your tough shit. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic002 [FAILED] Then I think you'd better find your way out before you get yourself hurt. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic002 [SUCCEEDED] I guess it isn't a secret. Yeah, the residents of the Vault are all dead. We killed them. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic002 Funny thing is, they just let us in. We didn't have to force the doors or anything. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic003 Nice doing business with you. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic004 You? Take care of me? Ha! You don't look half-tough enough. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic005 Then get the fuck out. I'm a busy man. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic006 Cool. I haven't had a good fight in a while, and it's been ages since Donnie and Marie had something they could sink their teeth into! VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic006 Sounds good to me, and to the dogs, too! Dinnertime, boys! VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic007 Okay, got anything else? VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic007 Okay, got anything else? VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic008 Okay, got anything else? VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic008 Okay, got anything else? VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic009 Okay, got anything else? VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic009 Okay, got anything else? VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic010 Okay, got anything else? VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic010 Okay, got anything else? VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic011 [SUCCEEDED] Alright, 22 caps each, but that's it. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic011 [FAILED] These are my prices. I don't negotiate. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic012 I'm not here to talk. I'm here for business. Either do some or get the fuck out. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic013 What kind of arrangement did you have in mind? VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic014 Well now, I guess that depends on who's paying. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic015 Okay, got anything else? VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic015 Okay, got anything else? VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic017 We needed some place to put down some roots. I was having trouble keeping my people out of {outta} Westside. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic018 Okay, got anything else? VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic018 Okay, got anything else? VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic019 I try to keep my people out of Westside. Apart from trying to stay on good terms with the Khans, who do business there. There's Mean Son of A Bitch. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic019 That fucking mutant is more trouble to kill than to avoid. Having someplace for my people to sleep reduces the chances of drifting into Westside. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic021 Okay then. What's your business now? VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic022 Thanks for doing business. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic024 Okay, we got a deal. Now let's talk a price, it'll cost you 200 caps for proof of my death. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic025 I'm not going to pay you squat. Now get outta my face. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic025 Yeah, that sounds like an alright deal. Here take my helmet back to the NCR. This doesn't make us friends though. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic025 We don't offer protection services. That's not my racket. So if you find yourself dead on your way out that's your tough shit. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic027 Sorry, no deal. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic027 Okay, I don't need the money that bad. 150 it is. This doesn't make us friends though. VMS07V03MotorRunnerTopic027 We don't offer protection services. That's not my racket. So if you find yourself dead on your way out that's your tough shit. VMS07Vault3Prisoner01Topic000 We were part of a caravan heading into New Vegas from down south. They are holding us hostage, trying to get some ransom. VMS07Vault3Prisoner01Topic000 Anyone willing to pay for us died in the attack. Once the Fiends figure that out, we are as good as dead. VMS07Vault3Prisoner01Topic000 Can you set us free now? VMS07Vault3Prisoner01Topic001 Thanks partner. I think the Fiend with the key is back in one of the bedrooms somewhere, someone called him Daniel. If that helps. VMS07Vault3Prisoner01Topic002 I don't know much, only that the people who lived in here originally were killed by the Fiends. Carter there escaped and managed to explore for a bit. VMS07Vault3Prisoner01Topic002 He hacked a password off of the computer, and found the location of some guns. He was on his way to get them when the Fiends caught him again. VMS07Vault3Prisoner01Topic003 They are a bunch of junkies that do whatever they can to get money for chems. VMS07Vault3Prisoner01Topic003 I hear they are lead by a guy calling himself Motor-Runner. I think he is in one of the other wings, although I haven't seen him myself. VMS07Vault3Prisoner01Topic004 Yeah, it is yours if you help us out of here. VMS07Vault3Prisoner01Topic005 We are going to die in here. Please, if you find the key let us out. We'll find our own way to safety. VMS07Vault3Prisoner01Topic006 [FAILED] Help us first, then we'll give you the password, and don't think about killing me. Its all in my head. VMS07Vault3Prisoner01Topic006 [SUCCEEDED] Fine, it isn't like it is doing me any good in here. You'd better come back though. VMS07Vault3Prisoner01Topic007 Okay, but be quiet. I don't want the Fiends to hear us. VMS07Vault3Prisoner01Topic008 I don't know. Carter told me about some password he hacked out of a computer. I could give it to you, if you help us out. VMS08CaptainCurtisCrenshaw He's stationed just inside the south wall of the base. Should be on patrol, if he isn't screwing around. VMS08CaptainCurtisCrenshawLocker It's in the main concourse. That's the building just across the skybridge. There's a barracks area that'll be behind you on the left when you enter. VMS08CaptainCurtisCrenshawLocker His stuff will be at the foot of one of the beds. VMS08CaptainCurtisHsuSentMe Smart man. I could use somebody who can operate under the radar around here. VMS08CaptainCurtisHsuSentMe Whoever our mole is, he's been slippery. Whenever one of the MP's gets too close, he changes his habits. Our last lead went cold weeks ago. VMS08CaptainCurtisLegion Christ, keep it down! You want to blow the whole thing? We've worked years for this. VMS08CaptainCurtisLegion But maybe it's good you're here. Hsu knows about the leaks, and I'm supposed to find the spy for him. VMS08CaptainCurtisLegion At first I couldn't believe my luck. But since I haven't produced results - for obvious reasons - I feel him looking at me differently now. VMS08CaptainCurtisLegion Maybe he's just thinking about putting someone else in charge, maybe he's starting to suspect. Either way it's bad for me. VMS08CaptainCurtisLegion Especially once this next part goes down. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic000 Yeah, you haven't exactly kept a low profile. That narrows our options somewhat. They're not gonna believe your accusations. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic000 But you can still create an alibi for me. I could make sure people know I haven't been near the monorail all day while you're busy blowing it up. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic000 It'd be better with a scapegoat, but it'll at least deflect some suspicion. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic001 [SUCCEEDED] Yeah, I get insomnia pretty bad myself, out here. I think it's the heat. Weird how sometimes it's cooler out here than it is inside. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic001 Well, I hope you manage to get some rest. Take it easy. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic002 Perfect. This has turned out better than I'd ever imagined. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic002 This will pay dividends for the Legion for a long time to come. I was with Hsu when the bomb went off. He'll never think to investigate me for it. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic002 I'll make sure Caesar himself hears about your success today. And take this, courtesy of the NCR. I'm sure they won't miss it. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic003 Bye. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic004 I don't know what you mean. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic005 Really? And how would you know where I'm supposed to be? VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic007 Poor Crenshaw. He's pulled his last prank. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic007 Go and tell Colonel Hsu you found the bomber. Once Hsu's convinced, we can breathe easy. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic008 Is that right? No one has any business being in there after dusk. I wonder... VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic008 There's a lot of communications equipment up there. He could be using it to touch base with whoever sent him. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic008 You've already done us a lot of good, but I'm afraid to move on this myself. We've tried catching this guy before and he can always smell a trap. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic008 But he may not know about you. I need you to follow him into the tower. See if you can discover his identity. Report back and I'll have him arrested. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic008 Report back when you've got it and I'll have him arrested. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic009 Took me three-and-a-half years, just to make Captain. Usually takes four, but I made sure there was an early vacancy. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic009 Caesar sees threats before they're even aware of him. He sent me long before we moved to occupy the eastern riverbank. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic009 And now all my work, all the waiting, is about to pay off. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic010 If you haven't noticed, the NCR bolsters its presence on the Strip from here. Sends troopers on the monorail in shifts. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic010 The monorail lets them occupy two positions for the price of one. It's a supply line that's immune to raiders and other hindrances on the ground. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic010 If someone were to cut that line, both positions would be much weaker. Fragile. They know this, and they watch it like hawks. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic010 But I've been here a long time, and I've learned everything there is to know about it. And I'm going to blow up that train. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic011 I told you I think they're starting to suspect me. You're going to help me cast away those suspicions. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic011 You're going to put the bomb on that train. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic011 I'll be sure to be in the presence of several reliable eyewitnesses when it happens. Then we're going to pin this on a scapegoat. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic011 I'd planned on disappearing after this operation. It'd be a matter of time before they traced it to me. Figured out I was a {LATIN}frumentarius. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic011 But with your help, maybe I can stay on after all. Make plans for something... grander. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic012 I have the explosives stashed in a trash can next to the ticketing counter along with some incriminating documents. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic012 You'll pick them up and make your way upstairs to the monorail terminal. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic012 They change the guard there at 0900 and 1800 hours. There'll be a small window where there's no one guarding the train. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic013 No, no. I wouldn't do that. Not unless I didn't have better options, anyway. And I do. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic014 Good. Try to plant the explosives quietly if you can - you'll make both our lives easier. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic014 But first things first. Go offer your services to Colonel Hsu. Tell him you'll work independently to find the leak. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic014 He's running out of options. He'll accept as long as you don't give him a reason not to. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic014 If he doesn't, then don't be surprised if you're the new scapegoat. So don't fuck this up. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic015 Yeah, let's make sure you have it down pat. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic017 Are you sure? Because I think the Legion would frown upon that decision. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic019 Very well. Let me know if you should change your mind. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic021 I can't let you leave. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic022 Be straight with me. If you're onto something, I want to know about it. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic022 If you were to get caught or killed, we'd lose everything you've learned about this case. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic023 What? You idiot! I spent years earning his trust. The whole point of your heading up this operation was to preserve that trust! VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic023 Now they'll replace him in a week with some other colonel and I'll be back to square one. You've set me back years today. Years! VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic023 Get the hell out of my sight. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic024 [FAILED] Lost, huh? If you say so. If you head over to the front terminal building you should be able to get in through the garage doors in back. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic024 I'm headed that way, myself, actually, so you can just follow me if you need to. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic025 See those menacing looking troopers with guns standing on the walls up there? That's Bravo Company. My company. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic025 Since Oliver stuck me in a desk job, I hardly ever get to see them during the day. So sometimes I like to check up on them when they have night duty. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic025 But you still haven't answered my question. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic026 All right, forget about blaming Crenshaw. Just bomb the monorail. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic026 Without a fall guy, it's dangerous for us to be seen together. We shouldn't speak again. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic026 If you believe in the Legion's cause, your mission is a reward in and of itself. Good luck. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic027 You want my advice, start by talking to people with a lot of eyes in the field. People like Lieutenant Boyd, or Sergeant Contreras, maybe. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic027 Careful with Contreras, though. He's not above suspicion himself. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic027 Keep me apprised of any leads you get. This guy's gotten a lot of my men killed. I'm just itching to return the favor. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic028 Put the bomb in one of the vents inside the train on the back wall, towards the joint that connects the cars. Arm it, and get out of there. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic028 I've also left some bomb ingredients in with the explosives. You are to take those to the footlocker of a Private Crenshaw. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic028 Crenshaw's a problem child. Lots of run-ins with his superiors. It'll be easy for them to believe he's working for the Legion. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic029 Report him to Colonel Hsu. Do all that and we should be free and clear. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic029 Oh, and Crenshaw should be dead before you report him. Don't leave any chance for him to deny the bombings. Let's say he pulled a gun on you. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic029 I've got him on guard duty patrolling the tarmac just inside the south gate. And I reassigned the other guard, so he should be alone. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic030 His footlocker is in the barracks in the main concourse. VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic031 Okay. VMS08CaptainCurtisWhatDoYouDo Officially I'm in charge of Bravo Company. But since General Oliver has Bravo and most of our forces here garrisoned, I'm free to do other things. VMS08CaptainCurtisWhatDoYouDo So I work with Colonel Hsu on logistics. Patrols, supply lines, reinforcements, that sort of thing. VMS08CaptainCurtisWhatDoYouDo Hell of a position to be in when you're working for the other side. But I have to sabotage with a light touch, or else my guilt would be obvious. VMS08CaptainCurtisWhatDoYouDo Lately it's been less about that and more about figuring out how that information is getting leaked to raiders. VMS08CaptainCurtisWhatDoYouDo It's a big base with a lot of unhappy soldiers. They get stir-crazy. Hard to separate the malcontents from the actual culprit. VMS08CaptainCurtisWhoToAsk Well, I'll leave that to you. But I would recommend Lieutenant Boyd and Sergeant Contreras as two people who usually know what's going on around here. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic000 Hmm... you don't cook by any chance, do you? Farber's doing his best, but it's hard to manage an army with half my staff in line for the latrine. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic000 Honestly, we're fighting a lot of fires right now. The Fiends keep pressing their position from Vault 3. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic000 We've got the Legion breathing down our necks across the river. We actually took an officer alive last week, but so far he hasn't spoken a word. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic001 There are a lot of things I can't spare troops for right now. If you can help us, we can definitely pay you for your work. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic002 Could be better, I'll say that much. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic002 We set up here with our sights set on annexing New Vegas. That's a lot of resources that could do a lot of good for us. But that hasn't happened. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic002 If anything, they annexed us. They rake in the profits from our soldiers and we're stuck protecting them from the Legion. Not exactly the plan. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic004 As in chem fiends. Biggest gang of raiders I've ever seen. Nothing like addiction to swell your numbers. Psychotic, and completely unpredictable. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic004 They've set up shop in Vault 3 to the west. Every day they attack our positions and my men repel them. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic004 But every day there's more of them and less of us. I sent one of my rangers after their leader to try and destabilize them. He didn't return. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic004 Hell of a thing, losing a ranger. You come to depend on them. And they come through for you so often, you forget it can happen. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic005 I have Lieutenant Boyd on that already, and she's excellent. But I think she's hit a wall. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic005 Talk to her, if you like. See if she has any use for you. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic005 Her office is right above mine, but I think she might be interrogating right now. So she'd be upstairs on the other side of the building. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic006 You? I think you've done enough. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic006 Hmm... Well, why not? Given your recent arrival, at least I can safely rule you out as the leak. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic006 I'd like to have absolute trust in my men, but that's just not practical right now. Go ahead and look into it. See what you find. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic007 Sure. I'm all ears. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic008 What? Who? VMS08ColonelHsuTopic009 No? What happened? VMS08ColonelHsuTopic011 Calm is what you have to be when people look to you. And it's all you can be when things are out of your hands. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic012 [SUCCEEDED] I'll believe it when I see it. You've got one shot, and you're on a tight leash. I'll be watching. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic012 [FAILED] Forget it. We have no use for you here. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic012 We don't have much to go on right now. Lately every raiding party in New Vegas seems to have a map of our troop movements. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic012 It derails everything. Supplies, reinforcements. And it'll only get worse, the longer we let it go on. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic012 Captain Curtis is heading up the investigation right now. He can fill you in. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic013 Crenshaw... I've met Crenshaw. At his disciplinary hearing. Still, this is hard to imagine - he was just a prankster. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic014 I was afraid of this. Caesar's reach is longer than anybody guessed. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic016 [SUCCEEDED] That's what the Legion calls their spies. I was afraid of this. Caesar's reach is longer than anybody guessed. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic016 If only we'd caught this sooner, before he got to the monorail... VMS08ColonelHsuTopic016 Still, this investigation has been valuable to us, and you deserve to be compensated for it. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic016 The NCR appreciates the work you've done. Will there be anything else? VMS08ColonelHsuTopic017 [FAILED] That's not exactly airtight. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic018 That doesn't implicate Crenshaw any more than it does anyone else. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic018 This isn't the resolution I was looking for when I assigned you to this. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic018 Given the dubious circumstances under which the confession took place, the NCR can't compensate you. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic018 Ordinarily I'd have to arrest you for this. But we can hardly afford to waste resources in the wake of all that's happened. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic018 I think your freedom is compensation enough for whatever it is you've done here, don't you? VMS08ColonelHsuTopic019 I'll be waiting. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic020 Unbelievable. That man has given us so much grief since we set up here. This may be a major turning point for us. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic020 I can't tell you how many times we thought we'd taken him out, only to have him show up again later, taking more heads off of fallen troopers. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic020 This is for the bounty. And this is from a pool me and a lot of the soldiers around the base had going. You may not be NCR, but hey, it's only fair. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic021 You're getting ahead of yourself. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic022 Curtis? He's been in the NCR long before our conflict with the Legion. There's just no way... VMS08ColonelHsuTopic022 I hope you're mistaken, but somehow I don't think so. It'd explain a lot. This is much worse than anyone expected. There could be others, too. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic022 You've done everything that was asked of you. You have my personal thanks for this, and I'll make sure you receive the credit you deserve. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic022 I'll have Curtis taken into custody. If he lets himself be taken alive, that is. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic023 Curtis? Something's not right. He came to me today saying he was worried about the monorail. Had me put him in charge of the inspection crew. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic023 Listen, you've got to get to the monorail. If it's been sabotaged, we're completely crippled here. Go! VMS08ColonelHsuTopic024 Goddamn it! How could I have let this happen? VMS08ColonelHsuTopic025 I'd hoped he'd be able to slip past their security and be out before anyone knew he was there. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic025 But I underestimated the Fiends. Should've known better, given the hell they've caused for us. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic025 Regardless, what you did for Anders isn't something he or any of us around here take lightly. We're all glad to have him back. Thank you. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic026 That's probably true, but I wonder if I should've taken a different strategy entirely. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic026 Although my options were certainly limited with most of our forces tied up garrisoning this place. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic028 Ah, that. I'm surprised he didn't send you to Colonel Moore. That'd be her jurisdiction. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic028 I've already received a communique from Colonel Moore saying that she's sent a squad down to Freeside. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic028 If you'd come to me first, I might have been able to do something. But at this point, my hands are tied. Sorry. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic029 Because he's looking to avoid a bloodbath. I get it. He knows me. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic029 All right. Moore's not gonna like it. But that's for Crocker to worry about. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic029 Go to the leader of the Kings and tell him that I'll make sure Freeside gets more water, power, and food as long as the violence there stops. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic030 Well, I do get to make the calls on the distribution of supplies there. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic030 Crocker was probably counting on me being able to offer the Kings a carrot. And that's what I'm inclined to do. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic031 Moore's got her hands full right now, and she's not a subtle person in the best of times. Her solution would be quick and dirty. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic031 I agree with Crocker that a more peaceful solution is preferable, especially for the long term. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic032 Yeah. On top of everything else, I can't send a patrol on a bathroom break without it being ambushed by someone who heard they were coming. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic032 So somebody's getting the word out. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic033 Now we're trying to secure the Strip and the Dam at the same time, and it's costing us. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic033 And in the meantime General Oliver won't approve any offensive maneuvers because he doesn't want to risk losing our positions. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic033 So we're in a holding pattern here. And Caesar's on the other side of the river, planning. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic034 It's our main base. We took it because it lets us keep an eye on the Strip. And it had already been fortified before the Great War. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic034 From here we handle most of the logistics for our operations in Nevada. Troop allocation, supply distribution, intel. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic034 Usually General Oliver runs the show here, but he's on his way to the Dam now, so I've taken on a lot of his duties here. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic035 Unfortunately, no. In fact, the word from the Ranger stations has been especially concerning lately. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic035 It sounds like they've run into overwhelming resistance, and supplies just aren't reaching them. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic035 It's been so bad I asked Sergeant Reyes at Camp Forlorn Hope to look into it and see how it is that things could be so fouled up there. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic036 Everything was going according to President Kimball's plan at first. We met minor resistance from local troublemakers. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic036 But our two main objectives are still contested. Mr. House controls the Strip and he won't so much as meet with our ambassador. VMS08ColonelHsuTopic036 And we're holding Hoover Dam, but Caesar's Legion is positioning itself to overrun it. If it falls, so will New Vegas. We'd be forced to withdraw. VMS08ColonelHsuVault3Accept That Vault is a hornet's nest. If you have second thoughts, no one would think less of you for it. But if you can get him home, it'd mean a lot. VMS08ColonelHsuVault3Accept Watch for civilians, too. The Fiends have been kidnapping locals. They just walk right into people's homes in the middle of the day and take them. VMS08ColonelHsuVault3Accept But the man you're looking for is Bryce Anders. Anders was trying to find the leader, Motor-runner. VMS08ColonelHsuVault3Accept You hear something like a chainsaw, you've found Motor-runner. Put a bullet in his head, and you'll have some new friends around here. VMS08CurtisAmbush You're getting too close, shamus! VMS08CurtisAmbush This is where your trail runs cold. VMS08CurtisRadio1 Lupa, this is Frumentarius Picus, over. VMS08CurtisRadio10 Ten-four. Keep us updated. VMS08CurtisRadio11 Ten-four. VMS08CurtisRadio2 Go ahead, Picus. VMS08CurtisRadio3 Afternoon patrol enters Fiend territory at 1300. Have them mine that stretch. VMS08CurtisRadio35 That would leave them the morning to bury mines along that stretch. Over. VMS08CurtisRadio4 Ten-four, Picus. Fiends will be alerted. VMS08CurtisRadio5 Roger Lupa. VMS08CurtisRadio6 What's the status of your primary mission, Picus? VMS08CurtisRadio7 Charges are set. Detonation will occur as the train leaves the station. Over. VMS08CurtisRadio8 How long? VMS08CurtisRadio9 Couple of minutes. Over. VMS08MonorailGuardWarn1 Go on through, soldier. VMS08MonorailGuardWarn1 Go right ahead, trooper. VMS08MonorailGuardWarn1 Hold it. NCR only beyond this point. Keep your distance or I {emph}will fire. VMS08MonorailGuardWarn1 Sorry. No civilians on the monorail. Any closer and I am authorized to use deadly force. VMS08MonorailGuardWarn2 You had your chance. VMS08MonorailGuardWarn2 That's it. VMS08MonorailRecording The tram is about to depart. Please keep clear of the doors, and restrain any young children. VMS08PrivateCrenshawTopic000 Heh. My reputation precedes me, I see. Yeah I pulled a few pranks in my time. VMS08PrivateCrenshawTopic001 Aw, usual stuff. Brought a brahmin upstairs in the terminal once. They can go upstairs but not down. Two heads and both of 'em dumb as stumps. VMS08PrivateCrenshawTopic001 That got me some detention time, but it was worth it 'cause they couldn't get the brahmin back down, so it visited me a few times in my cell. VMS08PrivateCrenshawTopic001 Dropped some firecrackers in the toilets too. That was the real bad one for me. VMS08PrivateCrenshawTopic001 Turns out there's no way to replace the toilets now. Toilet company blew up in the War. I think they'd just have shot me if they weren't shorthanded. VMS08PrivateCrenshawTopic002 No kidding! What'd you cook up? VMS08PrivateCrenshawTopic003 Man, I can't wait to see the look on his face! VMS08PrivateCrenshawTopic004 What? Like hell you are. VMS08PrivateCrenshawTopic005 Really? That's great. I was getting so sick of this. VMS08PrivateCrenshawTopic006 {Terrified}Holy Christ. Get- get away from me! VMS08PrivateCrenshawTopic007 What- What are you doing? VMS08PrivateCrenshawTopic008 Aww. VMS08PrivateCrenshawTopic009 Sure thing. Careful, though. I'll talk your ear off. VMS101EHectorTopic008 'Cause it's clean. The crops taste funny if you don't use clean water, but the NCR won't give us any and it's too expensive to buy. VMS11WestsideThug01Topic000 Oh, no you don't. Time to teach you to mess with our people! VMS11WestsideThug01Topic001 We saw you follow the kid in there. Figured we'd teach you a lesson. VMS11WestsideThug01Topic002 [FAILED] Right. No big deal. We're going to beat the hell out of you now, but don't worry - we don't think it's a big deal, either. VMS11WestsideThug01Topic003 It'll be hard for you to do anything once we break your arms and legs. VMS11WestsideThug01Topic004 [SUCCEEDED] No, no, it's all right. We're just looking out for our own, you understand. We're, uh, sorry to bother you. VMS15NellisPearlTopic000 Oh, so many ways! Small ones to begin with, so we can get used to what it's like to have a sav- outsider around and about. VMS15NellisPearlTopic000 Should that go well, it may be you can help in big ways, too. We'll have to see. VMS18MortimerBanquetSpeech I know I'm not the scheduled speaker, but I have a few words, if I may. VMS18MortimerBanquetSpeech There was a time not so long ago when we were bound together not as members but as family. As a clan. VMS18MortimerBanquetSpeech And when Mr. House came to us with his proposal, we accepted, knowing we stood to gain much. VMS18MortimerBanquetSpeech Little did we know how much we'd lose in the process. VMS18MortimerBanquetSpeech As a society, we've endeavored to sample the finest food and drink the world has to offer. But we are living a lie. VMS18MortimerBanquetSpeech There is a meat sweeter than the most cornfed livestock. Most of you have tasted it. All of you have coveted it. VMS18MortimerBanquetSpeech Among us, it is a crime to discuss a return to the old ways that unified our people. VMS18MortimerBanquetSpeech Tonight, that all changes. The taboo ends. {aside, preventing an interruption}Let me finish, Marjorie. VMS18MortimerBanquetSpeech You don't know it yet, but you are all now guilty of a greater crime. One that ordinarily bears the harshest of punishments. VMS18MortimerBanquetSpeech Surely that you are all guilty warrants not only universal amnesty but also a renewed discussion. VMS18MortimerBanquetSpeech For our society to be truly elite, we must dine on the most delicious, the most exclusive food known to us. VMS18MortimerBanquetSpeech And tonight, for the first time as a society, you are sampling that very dish, the meat we are forbidden to taste, the way it was meant to be eaten! VMS18MortimerBanquetSpeech Fellow members of the White Glove Society, bon appetit! VMS18PatrollerDetectTed He's trying to escape! VMS18PatrollerDetectTed You're not getting away! VMS18PatrollerMembersOnlyAttack You aren't allowed up there! VMS18PatrollerThreaten I strongly suggest you take your leave. VMS18PatrollerThreaten Members only. VMS18PatrollerThreaten This is your last warning. VMS18PhilippeDetectTed You get back here with our dinner! VMS18PhilippeTrapped What the- ? You son of a- ! Goddamn motherf- ! Ugh! Let me out! VMS18SecuritronAlert You've done the right thing, citizen. Reporting struggles, scuffles, and tussles is the civic duty of every man, woman, and child. VMS18SecuritronAlert Thanks to you, we can all sleep in our beds a little sounder, knowing that swift justice awaits those who take moral shortcuts for personal gain. VMS18SecuritronAlert Rest assured, I will apprehend the perpetrator and see him or her punished. Even though, in some ways, evil is its own punishment. VMS18SecuritronArrestHeck Heck Gunderson, you are under arrest for the murder of Ted Gunderson. VMS18SecuritronArrestHeck What in blazes? That's my son you're talking about! He ain't dead. I'm looking for him. VMS18SecuritronArrestHeck It is my duty to inform you that murder is a serious crime. VMS18SecuritronArrestHeck As a murderer you should be feeling emotions such as guilt, sorrow, and shame. VMS18SecuritronArrestHeck If not, you may wish to consult a mental health professional. VMS18SecuritronArrestHeck Where's my son? What'd you do with my boy? VMS18SecuritronArrestHeck I hope this experience has taught you an important lesson about the value of human life. VMS18SecuritronArrestHeck You can't do this to me! This is a mistake! VMS18SecuritronArrestHeck Dead or alive, you're coming with me. VMS18SecuritronArrestHeck Please allow me to escort you to the nearest criminal processing facility. VMS18SecuritronArrestHeck The hell I will. VMS18SecuritronHeckDeathReaction Stand back, citizens. Deceased bodies are a known source of illness, and a potential tripping hazard. VMS18TedReturned Oh my god! Ted! Are you all right? VMS18TedReturned Quit your hollering. I'm fine. VMS18TedReturned Listen, Pa, we got to go after the White Shoes or whatever they're called. They're the ones responsible. VMS18Topic001 You're trying to help him escape! VMS18Topic001 Well be a dear and lend a hand upstairs in the banquet hall, if you can. They're in need of more able bodies. VMS18Topic001 You need to turn around and leave right now, or I shall be forced to draw my cane. VMS18Topic002 [FAILED] With our dinner in tow? I think not. VMS18Topic002 [SUCCEEDED] Curse it all. Your timing couldn't be more atrocious. Just make it quick, all right? VMS18Topic003 [SUCCEEDED] First he's too trusting, now he doesn't trust any of us. It addles the senses. VMS18Topic003 I suppose caution is the desirable course at this point. It's all of our necks if something goes afoul. VMS18Topic004 [FAILED] That has to be the most pathetic excuse I've ever heard. You're not taking our main course. VMS18Topic004 [FAILED] I don't know who you are, but you need to return to the Gourmand this instant! VMS18Topic005 [FAILED] With our dinner in tow? I think not. VMS18Topic005 [FAILED] If you're a building inspector, I am the secret identity of Mr. House. Kindly remove yourself. VMS18Topic006 Not for long. VMS18Topic007 Mmm. Yes. He was none too pleased when he discovered who we took. The boy is in the freezer, back through the kitchen. VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic000 The dumpster? That's filthy! VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic000 I can't tell you how much that turns me on. Takes me back to my youth when I used to fool around with the help at our estate. VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic000 I shouldn't... but... it's been so long. And when is this ever gonna happen to me again? Okay, you're on. Don't keep me waiting, gorgeous. VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic001 Yeah? What about? VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic002 It's been stiff lately. Since I was attacked I've been afraid to sleep in my bed. I know it's irrational. VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic002 Now I can't hardly sleep at all. I just nod off from time to time. I'm so tired. VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic003 Oh that feels nice. I can already feel myself rela... VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic004 Really? Is that some kind of ancient Chinese secret or something? Well, what the hell. I'll try anything once. Here goes... VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic005 Ouch! What the hell? I don't think that did any- VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic006 Are they back? VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic007 Make it quick. VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic008 That obvious, huh? Yeah I'm not from around here. But where I'm from, they don't want me, so that's just as well. VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic008 Really with my reputation, there aren't many places I can go that'll have me. My own family's blackballed me, and they've got a lot of clout. VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic009 Whatever. VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic010 Oh, sure. That's all I need. Someone telling people around here about my reputation. I'll be run out of here before dawn. Forget it. VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic011 I've heard of them. Ultra-Luxe, right? Yeah, that'd be a step in the right direction. They'd never have me, though. VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic012 Yeah? Okay, maybe I will. Hell, anything's better than this. Thanks. VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic013 What? Are you crazy? VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic014 What the-? Don't touch me. I could get a better massage from a baby. VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic015 Who are you, again? VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic016 You're weird. Please stop that. VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic017 Huh? Hey, I think you dropped your gun there. Here. Here you go. Just don't point it at me, okay? VMS18VMS18CarlyleStClairTopic017 I'm paranoid now, and even though you clearly don't know how to hold that thing, it'd be one less thing for me to worry about. Thanks. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic000 You don't know?
Good. That's good. So they didn't send you after me.
VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic000 Where's the gentleman I'm supposed to meet? VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic001 So was the man I'm supposed to be meeting here. Where is he? VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic002 Matchbook? What about the man I gave it to? VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic003 Oh my goodness me! They must know he was talking to someone on the inside. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic003 They'll be watching everyone closer now. I knew this was a mistake. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic004 {using 'devil' as a curse here}The devil he did. He was supposed to meet me days ago. Are you in Mortimer's employ, then? VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic008 Not for long. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic009 Mortimer. If he realizes it was me the investigator was planning to meet, he'll have me killed. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic010 The girl. The one who disappeared. I know what happened to her. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic011 Yes. The White Glove Society strictly forbids eating humans. But we weren't always the White Glove Society. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic011 Mortimer and some of the others have... regressed... to the old ways. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic011 They've taken many people over the last few months. But always from Freeside or secluded places, where they wouldn't be missed. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic011 It wasn't enough. Lately they've gone for tourists here on the Strip. Even in the hotel. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic011 I guess that's the hazard of a cannibal becoming a gourmet - it's hard to please a refined palate. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic012 Because I distracted her fiancee while they took her. Well, I'm not proud of it! But I had to. They could see I was having second thoughts. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic012 Some of the White Gloves began meeting privately a while back. Started talking about how we'd lost our identity. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic012 I started attending because I thought it was about changing our politics. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic012 Then they started talking about returning to the old ways, and there was no way out. They'd kill me for the things I'd heard them say. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic013 He's alive, as far as I know. They're trying to keep him fresh. Mortimer has special plans for him. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic013 The White Glove Society has a banquet every night at 7. It's in our private section. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic013 Mortimer wants to reintroduce humans into our cuisine. Since eating people is a crime we punish by death, he's going to do it in secret. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic013 After everyone has eaten it he'll tell them. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic013 With no real way to punish everyone, in Mortimer's mind, anyway, their minds will be open to the idea of eating people as a delicacy. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic014 They might. But to him the legacy of returning to the old ways is worth his own life. I don't think he expects it, though. I don't, either. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic014 Nothing is more important to the Society than to be on the cutting edge of New Vegas cuisine. Mortimer's idea will appeal to that need. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic014 He just has to get them over the taboo. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic015 I don't know exactly. I wasn't in on it. I think some of them have stopped trusting me. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic015 But you can bet they're keeping him near the Gourmand. Our chef, Philippe, has an obsession with fresh ingredients. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic015 It'd be back in the members only section, so you'll have to be careful. Don't be seen, and more importantly, don't let them see Ted in the open. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic015 It's guarded both at the lobby entrance and in the access tunnels leading from the main restaurant. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic015 I... could sponsor you as an honorary member. But I don't know that you've achieved the level of status that would gain the Society's approval. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic015 Perhaps if you were to gain some more notoriety on the Strip, we could get you in. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic015 I... could sponsor you as an honorary member. The White Gloves are always looking for people who can elevate their status. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic015 You'd certainly fit the bill with everything you've done around here. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic015 Otherwise, you'll have to find some way to get inside quietly. It won't be easy. And it'll be harder still to get him out. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic016 That may be true, but I wouldn't recommend it. He's built a reputation, and it isn't for calmness and impartiality. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic016 He's not what he looks like. They call him Hurricane Heck." The man built his empire by hiring mercenaries to drive off the competition." VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic016 Lately he's been attacking our Brahmin suppliers so he can take over their business. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic016 He's the sort to pound in a nail with a wrecking ball. If you gave him the whole story on this he'd be liable to raze the entire hotel. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic016 And God knows what he'd do to the rest of the Strip. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic017 Those are all members of the White Glove Society. Our founder, Marjorie, gave us all a dress code. There's only one rule to it. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic017 In her words, we must dress in such a way that no one can be said to have dressed better than us. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic017 As for the masks, I'm not allowed to tell you. We're sworn to secrecy. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic017 Actually that's not true. That's just what we're supposed to say. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic017 I think Marjorie likes them for the mystery they create. And the way they make it clear that we're different from everyone else. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic017 But you didn't hear that from me. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic018 Hmm. Well, they'll all be sampling Pre-War wines before the meal. Maybe it's as simple as drugging them. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic018 Although... that wouldn't stop any future kidnappings. You'd have to expose Mortimer. But he's going to confess anyway... VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic018 What if... what if his revelation were a lie? What if no one had eaten human flesh but him? VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic018 If you could somehow replace Philippe in the kitchen and serve a convincing substitute instead... VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic018 You could walk Ted right through the middle of that room after Mortimer speaks. And then he'd have some explaining to do. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic018 Philippe has been trying to approximate the taste of human flesh for years. He must have a recipe somewhere. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic019 Hmm. Must've forgotten to put it on. How embarrassing. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic020 Oh. Well, it's a big hotel. You should talk to Marjorie - she's in charge and she can probably help you find anyone you might need. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic020 She usually works at the front of the Gourmand. She likes to see how people respond to it. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic020 You can get to the Gourmand from the lobby here - it's a big set of double doors on the first floor on the eastern side. Can't miss it. VMS18VMS18ChaunceyTopic021 Go ahead. VMS18VMS18HeadWaiterTopic000 Right away. VMS18VMS18HeadWaiterTopic000 But no one is in their chairs yet. Surely we should wait until 7 when the dinner guests arrive. VMS18VMS18HeadWaiterTopic000 I'll be ready when you need me. VMS18VMS18HeadWaiterTopic001 At once. VMS18VMS18HeadWaiterTopic001 But no one is in their chairs yet. Surely we should wait until 7 when the dinner guests arrive. VMS18VMS18HeadWaiterTopic001 I'll be ready when you need me. VMS18VMS18HeadWaiterTopic002 Very well. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic000
Ain't nobody got one darned piece of news about my boy? Not one lousy speck of information?
VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic000 Ain't got one Brahmin unaccounted for across a dozen ranches, but I'm here for an hour and my own son just up and disappears on me. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic002 What? Oh, my God! Where? VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic003 My boy, Ted. He was right here. I didn't leave him but a minute. I told him to stay put while I talked some things over with the White Glove folks. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic003 He never was one to stay tied down to a spot, though. Gets that from his mother. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic003 Got most of my staff out looking for him now. I'd be out myself, but I keep hoping he'll show up back here. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic003 Course if he does that I'll whup him till his skinny hide turns to leather for putting me through this. But that don't mean I wouldn't be grateful. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic004 Yep, got a whole mess of brahmins to my name. Bighorners, too. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic004 Used to just have the one ranch, but land was easy to grab before the soldiers moved in. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic004 Before I knew it I was running one of the biggest ranching operations east of California. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic004 Now everywhere I go, folks I never even met shake my hand and call me Mr. Gunderson." Don't know quite what to make of that." VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic005 That's what they call themselves, the folk that run this place. They're the ones dressed all fancy with their bowties and shiny dresses. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic005 Some of 'em got masks, too. Real hard to trust folks like that. Couple of them show their faces and that's who I do my business with. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic005 I don't talk to none of the other ones. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic006 That's between me and the White Glove Society. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic006 But let's just say they control the food supply around here, and I got lots of food to give, but that ain't as welcome as you might think. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic007 I'd be more than happy to have you. Heck, I'll hire anybody with a pair of legs and at least one good eye at this point. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic007 There'd be a lot of money in it for you if you can get him back to me safe. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic007 And if he ain't, you can bet I'll pay for the names of the sons of bitches responsible. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic009 What in Creation is the matter with you? Ain't you ever been a parent? Ain't you ever been worried you lost someone? VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic009 You got a real sick sense of humor. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic010 You're dead right it's serious. I ain't seen my son in hours. Don't know where he went. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic010 Folks round here, some of 'em would kill you soon as look at you. His whole life I tried to keep him at the ranch, away from places like this. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic010 Now I take him here and what happens? VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic012 Confound it! I just don't know how I'm supposed to sleep knowing whoever done this got away. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic012 All right. Well, I promised you I'd make it worth your while, so here you are. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic012 Try not to lose it all at the same casino. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic013 Well that does it! None of them maniacs will ever do business with Heck Gunderson long as they live. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic013 Hell, I'll put me together a damn blockade. Hit 'em where it hurts. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic013 They control the food? Well there ain't gonna be no food. Not for anybody in this whole damn town. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic013 It's a goddamned monument to inhumanity. Let 'em starve. Biggest favor anyone's ever done this hellhole. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic014 You better be right. Cause I got me a mind to wipe this town off the map if some of the folks running it are to blame. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic014 Well who did this, if it wasn't the White Gloves? VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic015 The heck I don't! It's their support that gives these bastards power. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic015 They all oughtta suffer for what they done. I just won't be satisfied with anything less. Wouldn't be enough. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic015 My mind's made up on this. I'm cutting off the food supply to the Strip. They gotta learn their lesson the hard way, looks like. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic016 [SUCCEEDED] I don't like this place. Whole Strip, really. Ever since I got here, the stink of it... it's flooded my nostrils. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic016 But you got a point. They're already hell-bent on depravity here. All I'd be doing is helping them along. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic017 Sometimes I got me so many ideas, it's a wonder they don't all just burst outta my head. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic017 This town's headed to perdition anyway. I'm just giving them a little push. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic018 [FAILED] No, that ain't enough. It ain't just him. It's this hotel. It's the whole damn Strip, and everybody who takes their money here. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic018 I sensed it when I got here. This place is evil, pure and simple. Everyone did their part. Ted getting taken was just a symptom of the disease. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic020 Made me a special arrangement with the hotel. They want to do business with me, they got to play by my rules. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic020 Lot of people out there resent success, might wanna take a swipe at me. This makes them think twice. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic020 If I'd have been thinking, though, I'd have had him watching my boy instead. Then none of this would've happened. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic021 He's here? Bless you, I thought he was a goner for sure. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic021 Listen, you do what you gotta do to find him. I'd send my men with you but I'm worried they'd kill Ted if we got close. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic021 Reckon you might need one of these. Take it. Just don't wave it around here where they might take it from you. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic022 {Breaking - his son died}Confound it. I knew I shoulda stayed with him. Ted, I'm so sorry, boy. VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic022 I demand to know who did this! VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic000 This again? I thought all this was settled. I answered every one of that investigator's questions to his satisfaction and gave all the help I could. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic000 I know our reputation hasn't always been spotless, but that's all in the past now. How some people can't get over it is beyond me. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic000 For the last time, the White Glove Society has never and will never consume human flesh for any reason. It's written in the charter. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic001 Now didn't I already tell you that we don't do that sort of thing? We do not engage in cannibalism here under any circumstances. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic001 Though we haven't always been the White Glove Society. There was another time, a dark time, when we went by a different name. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic001 But that's all changed now! We've... evolved past such base impulses since settling into our new home. I've seen to it that those days are behind us. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic002 There was an investigator who came through here last week. He'd been hired by a young man whose bride-to-be went missing during their stay here. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic002 Well you can already guess what probably happened, can't you? It seems perfectly likely that she got cold feet and ran off. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic002 And that young groom just didn't have a clue, the poor dear. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic003 You disgust me. How dare you say such a filthy thing in my establishment? I ought to have you arrested. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic003 You'll kindly mind your tongue, or we shan't speak any further. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic004 You disgust me. How dare you say such a filthy thing in my establishment? I ought to have you arrested. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic004 You'll kindly mind your tongue, or we shan't speak any further. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic005 Why yes, I think so. If he hasn't checked out yet, that is. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic005 I had our maitre d', Mortimer, offer him a complimentary room for as long as it took for him to be satisfied. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic005 You see? The White Glove Society remains the very picture of courtesy, even in the face of such impolite accusations. We have nothing to hide here. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic006 A man? Well then this... well this can't be. Two disappearances in my hotel? What will people say? VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic006 I'm going to have a word with my staff about security on the premises. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic006 Whether these people are found or not, our guests simply must feel safe in their own rooms. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic007 I do, but one can hardly call it work. I think of myself as a caretaker rather than a common laborer. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic007 I suppose it is a labor of love if it can be called labor at all. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic007 We at the White Glove Society are all responsible for maintaining the beauty and class of the Ultra-Luxe. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic007 And as its founder I suppose it falls to me to decide how we go about it. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic008 It's put us in rather a delicate position, you see, his coming here. Not that we aren't grateful for his generous offer. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic008 But our executive chef Philippe has transformed brahmin steak into a delicacy. He really is a genius. Everyone wants it. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic008 But a delicacy is just that - delicate. If everyone can get it, it ceases to be a delicacy. It becomes a perfectly ordinary staple. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic008 And if the Gourmand served staples, it would no longer draw the caliber of people it deserves. It'd be a diner or a... a family restaurant. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic008 So as much as we'd all love for there to be enough steak for everyone, I'm afraid there are more important things to consider. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic008 What else? Mr. Gunderson and I have been discussing his livestock. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic009 Why yes, of course. The White Glove Society is the most exclusive club in all of New Vegas. Perhaps the entire world. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic009 It's only natural that you'd need a sponsor from within the club who can vouch for your good name. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic009 Originally we didn't allow anyone else in, you see. Founding members only. We thought exclusivity would make us the envy of everyone who's anyone. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic009 And it has. But then I had the idea to allow honorary members. Lower in status, naturally, but it just makes people want to be us even more. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic009 And the right people could certainly do wonders for our image. Celebrities, philanthropists. We want only the very best. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic009 I'm afraid you are a relative unknown. Certainly not the caliber of person we would consider for such an honor. Not yet, anyway. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic009 If you had more notoriety or clout here on the Strip, things would be different. People need to have heard of you, and you must be well thought of. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic009 And you most definitely fit the bill. Given your deeds on the Strip alone, I can safely say that you would be a prized addition to our honorary ranks. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic009 Mmm. You'll have to look elsewhere, I'm afraid. The whole idea of joining" the White Glove Society is pure hogwash." VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic009 You're either in it, or you're not. There's no joining. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic009 This honorary member" nonsense is just something Marjorie contrived because she's so preoccupied with image. But it's only a fad." VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic009 Once it blows over the riff-raff we've temporarily inducted will be shown the door. So I wouldn't hold out hope if I were you. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic010 The answer is still no, I fear. You need to be the talk of the town, really. Think big! Your name should be on everyone's lips. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic010 Come back then, and we shall welcome you with open arms. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic010 Most definitely! You have become quite an impressive person in my estimation, and you are very well regarded here among those in the know. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic010 You have my full support, and you are welcome to join us at our nightly banquets in our special section of the Gourmand. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic010 I hope to see you there. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic011 Tell your ruler we have no interest in such ties. Caesar's Legion is a collection of unclean barbarians. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic011 Any time the White Glove Society is mentioned in the same breath, it sullies our good name. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic011 As much as Mortimer and some of the other members have tried to convince me otherwise, I will not have us seen as savages. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic011 Looking to elevate his social status, is he? VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic011 I'll admit, I could see benefits to living under his rule. Certain... transgressions he'd be willing to overlook. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic011 But that's neither here nor there, I'm afraid. Marjorie won't have it, as long as she fails to see the wisdom of my perspective. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic011 I don't care for their incivility or the hodgepodge of sporting equipment that passes for fashion with them. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic011 Nevertheless, I have heard Caesar has a stately dignity about him. And I understand his policies will agree with our new menu. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic011 I prefer Mr. House, of course, but he may not be around forever. And the NCR will surely set back our cuisine. Tell your Mr. Caesar we are with him. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic012 Why it's splendid. Simply to die for. VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic012 {affably}Mortimer told me about you, you know. What a pair of mischief makers you two are! VMS18VMS18MarjorieTopic012 But the new entrees are fresh and bold and I have the two of you to thank for it. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic000 Private investigator... Ah, yes. I remember the gentleman. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic000 This was about the missing bride. Such an awful thing. I do hope he finds her whereabouts. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic000 If I might pry, have you found something that will help his investigation? VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic001 Of course, of course. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic001 Ordinarily, we don't give out guest information, but I think given the circumstances, he'll want to speak with you. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic001 Let's see... he hasn't checked out yet. If you head back to the hotel rooms, his will be one floor directly above you after you exit the lobby. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic001 I hope we can put this whole matter to rest at last. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic002 Good. I hope that young man gets some closure after all he's been through. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic003 You are? Nothing so grim as his investigation, I hope. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic004 Kidnapped? That's ridiculous! And who said anything about eating anyone? VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic004 {Stage Whisper}I know I didn't, because I hadn't gotten to that line of my speech yet. What remarkable timing you have. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic004 What are you- ? Why is he there? Who are we eating right now? VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic005 Get them! VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic005 Get him! VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic005 Get her! VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic006 No! These are lies! I never kidnapped anyone. And even if I did, there's no harm done. He's alive, after all. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic007 So be it. But we are all cannibals here. My death will be a constant reminder, and some day you will all remember. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic008 You're all hypocrites! How can you claim to be connoisseurs yet deny yourselves the greatest of all meats? VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic008 I am ashamed to have once called everyone here family. This isn't over, though. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic008 I'll begin anew. The White Glove Society will never achieve the greatness of my new order. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic008 You'll all hear from me again. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic009 My, such a popular question. I suppose it is only natural to see us and wonder what it is that makes us special. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic009 The White Glove Society has only just made itself known to the public, of course, but our pedigree was established over generations. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic009 Were we always so refined? I'd be lying if I said yes. But I've always felt we were destined for a place atop modern society. And now, here we are. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic009 Not everyone can wear the finest clothes and eat the finest foods, obviously. That's just the reality we live in. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic009 But surely we can agree that the most tasteful, sophisticated people are the most deserving. That's what the White Glove Society is all about. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic010 If you head back to the hotel rooms, his will be one floor directly above you after you exit the lobby. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic011 Ah, yes, I've heard that one too. Jealous people say such nasty things. I feel sorry for them. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic012 Good. Then you know what it is to be discreet in matters of... nutrition. Perhaps you can help me. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic013 [SUCCEEDED] Good. Then you know what it is to be discreet in matters of... nutrition. Perhaps you can help me. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic014 [FAILED] Please, you're embarrassing yourself. I must request that you change the subject. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic015 I can assure you that the only thing the White Glove Society is guilty of is preparing the tastiest cuisine you'll ever sample. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic015 That is, of course, if you can afford it. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic016 Indeed. Let's. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic017 No, not from the likes of you, I'm afraid. I don't think you'd have the stomach for it. Better look elsewhere. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic017 I do, but I need someone I know I can rely on. And I haven't heard a thing about you. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic017 Perhaps if you made more of a name for yourself around the Strip, we could talk. But not before. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic017 Yes, I'm glad you asked. I've heard about you, you know. You strike me as just the sort of person who can help me. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic017 I'm in a bind. I've been planning an exquisite Society dinner, but there's a bit of a problem with the main course. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic017 He's got a powerful and temperamental father. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic018 Yes. The wrong person. We scouted the right one for weeks. The heir to a mercantile empire. Sort of a black sheep. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic018 He cut ties with his family and left their estate to wander. He was ideal. Corn-fed and well-to-do, but no one to miss him if he were to disappear. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic018 Unfortunately the trap my subordinates set for him failed. And as he escaped, he saw their faces. Now he's wary. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic019 You barbarous cur. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic020 Perhaps I do. Forget I mentioned it. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic021 I asked for a last-minute replacement. And they stole the son of the most dangerous Brahmin baron in New Vegas while he stayed at this very hotel. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic021 Needless to say, this could be a disaster if things aren't put back the way they should be. And I still need somebody reputable to serve for dinner. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic021 Strictly speaking, we're no longer allowed to eat people. But I'm hoping the right person and preparation might sway Marjorie to see things my way. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic023 I need a replacement, and I need the boy taken care of. The replacement must be healthy and well-bred. One can't very well make steak from gristle. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic023 With so little time, we'll have go after our original choice, Carlyle St. Clair. He lives in a shack north of here. For freshness, we need him alive. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic023 If you could send him here or knock him out with this and drag him into the dumpster next to his house, we can do the rest. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic024 Ted Gunderson is his name. It would be simplest if you could convince him this was all an unfortunate misunderstanding. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic024 But if he won't listen, we can't very well let him go. He'll have to be slaughtered and served. Then we wouldn't need the replacement. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic024 But you would need to deal with his father, Heck. Perhaps if you could smear some of Ted's blood around his father's hotel room, you could frame him. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic025 Splendid, splendid. The boy is being held in the kitchen beneath the Gourmand. Here are some keys that will allow you access to him. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic025 The elder Gunderson is staying in our penthouse. I understand he's hired security, so be careful if you go up there. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic025 And our Mr. St. Clair resides to the north. He rarely strays far from his house, and he's surrounded it with booby traps. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic026 Very well, but I'll need to know soon or I'll be forced to make other plans. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic028 Which one? VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic028 Hmm. He's a little thin, but he looks like he comes from good stock with that strong jaw and upright posture. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic028 Perhaps a little rugged, a little gamey. But he is in good shape and looks healthy. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic028 From the smell of her I'd say we can skip the whiskey marinade. But other than her liver she seems to be in working order. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic028 Her skin has a certain supple quality to it, doesn't it? She's kept it well. How mouth-watering. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic028 I'm sorry, but it absolutely must be a human. Former doesn't count. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic028 I assume you're joking. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic028 Very well. If you're able to convince young Mr. Gunderson to return to his father, replace him in the freezer with your friend and we'll have a deal. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic034 So the baron has slaughtered his last Brahmin. How delightful. He was a pox on our business. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic034 He would've driven the price of beef down to the point where any poor wretch could afford it. Can you imagine? VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic034 But now we can price it even higher, create a new luxury market. Not for you, of course. You'll get a special discount. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic035 We'll know after tonight's banquet at 7 o'clock. I'll only be telling everyone what they've eaten after they've eaten it. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic035 That way, they will all have crossed the same silly taboo. They'll have to reconsider it. Even Marjorie. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic035 It's all image with her, anyway. She just needs to realize the only difference between savage and sophisticated is the proper seasoning. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic035 We'll know after tomorrow night's banquet at 7 o'clock. I'll only be telling everyone what they've eaten after they've eaten it. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic035 That way, they will all have crossed the same silly taboo. They'll have to reconsider it. Even Marjorie. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic035 It's all image with her, anyway. She just needs to realize the only difference between savage and sophisticated is the proper seasoning. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic035 I certainly did. Philippe created an extraordinary amuse bouche from the flesh of the Gunderson boy. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic035 I certainly did. Philippe created an extraordinary amuse bouche from the flesh of the late Mr. St. Clair. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic035 I certainly did. Philippe created an extraordinary amuse bouche from the flesh of your former travel partner. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic035 Everyone at the banquet loved it! I told them what it was and the room was quiet for a moment, but then we all had a hearty laugh. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic036 I see. Keep me in the know. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic036 You have done very well in keeping this business low-key. I appreciate your discretion. I'll be sure to drop your name during our functions. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic036 I hope you understand what a tremendous boon this will be to your standing in society. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic037 Good. Having his father's attention cast upon me was the last thing I needed. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic037 Now if you can lure Mr. St. Clair out of his home and into captivity, and he's still disease-free, I shall breathe a sigh of relief. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic038 I see. Well this could get out of hand very quickly unless something is done to keep the elder Gunderson in check. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic038 You mustn't kill him, though. The publicity would be a disaster. I need you to handle this quietly, like we discussed. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic038 A little blood in his suite should do the trick. And if you have a Securitron arrest him, our involvement will appear nonexistent. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic039 No. Everyone he meets, he tells the same story. That his son disappeared from the casino, not from his room. He'll look guilty. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic040 You made it past his guards, then? Excellent. Send a Securitron up to his room. It's programmed to investigate anything suspicious. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic041 Splendid, splendid. The boy is being held in the kitchen beneath the Gourmand. Here are some keys that will allow you access to him. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic041 The elder Gunderson is staying in our penthouse. I understand he's hired security, so be careful if you go up there. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic041 And our Mr. St. Clair resides to the north. He rarely strays far from his house, and he's surrounded it with booby traps. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic043 Not this one. Empty. I don't believe it's seen use since before the war. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic043 And what would the point be, really? Who would pick up his trash if he used it? VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic043 But for our purposes, it should keep his body safe and hidden until my cohorts can recover it. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic044 Just as I asked. What a magnificent relief! By now, barring any more bungling, my underlings should have him on his way here. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic045 Of his own volition? My goodness, you are very professional, aren't you? Well, he's sure to be a hit at our next banquet. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic046 Drat! He was our best chance at a fresh and healthy entree. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic046 Without a replacement, I'll have to push back the whole affair. I can just see my rivals sneering at me. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic047 Wonderful. You have come through with flying colors. On behalf of my colleagues, allow me to extend my thanks. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic047 I know what a terrible sacrifice this must've been for you. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic049 I should think so, but it would be up to Marjorie. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic049 I have, however, told her how instrumental you were in revolutionizing our cuisine. And she knows what we stand to gain from a ruler who supports it. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic049 Have a word with her, see what she says. I daresay she'll be more receptive with these new developments. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic050 Now that it's been accepted, it will become a regular course for us. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic050 It's a new and exciting frontier for our chef. I've never seen him so cheerful. VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic051 Oh, I very much doubt that. What fun would it be if everyone could have it? VMS18VMS18MortimerTopic051 Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if our chef used it here and there as a secret ingredient to make his dishes really come alive. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic000 Don't make eye contact with me! Look at the floor. And get back to work! VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic001 Oh really? So despite your filthy face and your vacant expression and your complete lack of human dignity, you're telling me you're not a server? VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic002 Who do-? Who the fuck do you think I am? I'm the fucking god of New Vegas brahmin fusion cuisine, that's who. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic002 No. No. That doesn't even give me the credit I deserve. I fucking invented edible food! VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic002 Do you like eating? Good. You owe me your entire goddamned garbage existence. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic004 I'll carve that stupid look off your inbred face! VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic004 Now get the hell out of my sight, or I'll bathe your face in the deep fryer. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic005 Well then why the fuck are you still standing there like you aren't the lowest form of life ever to be flushed down the evolutionary toilet? VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic006 [SUCCEEDED] What, me? The supreme ruler of the Nevada dining scene? Teach lowlife half-wits to make food that doesn't smell like burning excrement? VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic006 Do you think it would sell? VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic007 Yes, of course. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic007 [FAILED] There's nothing I'd like more than to hand the deepest secrets of my artistry to some idiot in exchange for a dirty handful of caps. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic008 [FAILED] Yeah. You know why? It gets worse every time some sniveling wet blanket cries about how I need to tiptoe around his precious feelings. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic008 [FAILED] Yeah. You know why? It gets worse every time some sniveling wet blanket cries about how I need to tiptoe around her precious feelings. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic009 [?] What kind of harebrained fucking psychobabble bullshit is that? VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic009 I yell at people because I like yelling at people and because they fucking deserve it. Not because Mumsy and Daddy-kins didn't hug me enough. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic010 Well what do you want? I'm very busy here. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic012 [?] Oh. I see how it is. You think because my father walked out on us when I was five, now I have to yell at people. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic012 Or because my mother was a deranged chem fiend who regularly brought strange men home who told me to call them uncle. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic012 Or because my sisters would lock me in a shipping crate when they didn't want me around... and my brother... VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic012 God, I'd forgotten about that. How could they do that to me? VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic012 [SUCCEEDED] I... I can't stay here. I need to be alone. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic013 Forget about the fucking banquet. You know what? You can do it. You be the star chef. Take my recipes. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic013 It won't fill the hole, though. Just remember that. You'll always feel empty. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic014 How could they treat me like that? VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic015 Well why don't you fucking try checking the serving table in the wine room, for fuck's sake? Circular room, two rooms down? Ring any bells? Christ! VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic015 Now don't speak to me again or I swear I'll serve you as the main course. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic017 [SUCCEEDED] All right. Don't get me wrong, I love my job here, but they don't pay me what I'm worth. Too many people skimming off the top. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic017 Take these. Should be plenty for a book in there. That's all I'm giving. Don't expect me to write some fancy introduction. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic018
You're pushing your luck. Here. I have a few copies on me. This better be good enough.
VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic018 We're going to have a real problem if this thing isn't a hit. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic019 Yes, of course. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic019 [FAILED] There's nothing I'd like more than to hand the deepest secrets of my artistry to some idiot in exchange for a dirty handful of caps. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic020 A hundred caps? I have that much between the cushions of my day bed. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic020 Come back when you've got a serious offer. VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic022 [SUCCEEDED] No! It'll ruin my ingredients! VMS18VMS18PhilippeTopic023 [FAILED] Now why the fuck would I do that? I don't have time for games. Stop wasting my time. VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic000 My daddy sent you? VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic000 Goddamn it, I almost died in here! What the hell took you so long? It's just one damn hotel. VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic000 Who did this to me, anyway? They hit me over the head before I got a look at 'em. VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic001 All right, fine. I'm right behind you. VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic002 What in the sam hell? Eat me? What kind of sick bastards would eat a person? VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic002 I'll tell you what. Soon as I'm out of here and my daddy knows the story, you can bet there ain't gonna be no White Hat Society no more. VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic004 To hell with that. You've seen those freaks. They dress the same, talk the same. You can bet they all eat the same, too. VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic004 They deserve what my daddy's gonna have coming for them. VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic005 I never liked them White Shoes in the first place. We'd be doing the Strip a service. VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic005 Let's go. I'll be right behind you. VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic006 Damn right, I'm right. VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic006 All right, let's get out while the getting's good. VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic007 All right, all right. But there's gonna be some justice one way or another. I'll see to that. VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic007 Let's go. I'll be right behind you. VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic008 The hell you will. VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic012 [SUCCEEDED] My daddy's got a lot of enemies. It don't make no sense that the White Pants Society would kidnap me. He's here to do business with them. VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic012 Well, you got a point. But if you don't know who it is, my daddy's gonna be awful mad he ain't got anyone to shoot over this. VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic012 All right. Let's get out of here. VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic013 [FAILED] Who gives a rat's patoot if they're sorry? Sorry's what they'll be when they're strung up and lynched by my daddy's posse. VMS18VMS18TedGundersonTopic013 These White Knuckles got hell to pay, I'll see to that when I get outta here. VMS18VMS18WhiteGloveFoodVendorTopic000 You won't find better. VMS18VMS18WhiteGloveFoodVendorTopic000 Remember, an impressive gratuity sends a message. VMS18VMS18WhiteGloveFoodVendorTopic000 Our drinks have many subtle flavors. VMS18VMS18WhiteGloveGreeterTopic000 My deepest apologies for the slightest inconvenience. You have my assurance that everything will be returned upon your departure. VMS18VMS18WhiteGloveGreeterTopic000 But we simply can't have anyone waving their weapons around in the hotel. It's not the atmosphere we wish to cultivate. VMS18VMS18WhiteGloveGreeterTopic000 Please, enjoy your stay. VMS18VMS18WhiteGloveGreeterTopic001 My deepest apologies for the slightest inconvenience. You have my assurance that everything will be returned upon your departure. VMS18VMS18WhiteGloveGreeterTopic001 But we simply can't have anyone waving their weapons around in the hotel. It's not the atmosphere we wish to cultivate. VMS18VMS18WhiteGloveGreeterTopic001 Please, enjoy your stay. VMS18VMS18WhiteGloveGreeterTopic002 I'm afraid those are the rules. If you don't like it you can take your business elsewhere. VMS18VMS18WhiteGloveGreeterTopic003 {Offended}How frightfully uncouth. I'm afraid I must insist you relinquish your weapons. VMS18VMS18WhiteGloveGreeterTopic004 Well, I never. VMS18VMS18WhiteGloveGreeterTopic005 They'll be handled with the utmost security in our bank. VMS19PacerAttackingNews King, we've got problems! VMS19PacerAttackingNews Lay it on me. What's going on? VMS19PacerAttackingNews There's a shootout going down near the train station. It's Pacer and some strangers. Might be NCR. VMS19PacerIntercedes Hey there, I heard that NCR soldier lady told you some wild story about them sending a messenger to us to work out some deal. VMS19PacerIntercedes That's bullshit, and it's nothing to bother the King with. More like they sent someone to spy on us and he wasn't tough enough to last in Freeside. VMS19PacerIntercedes So do everyone a favor and keep your mouth shut about it, okay? VMS19VFSElizabethKieranTopic000 It's no problem, just something I'd rather not think about. Now, I should get to the other customers. VMS19VFSElizabethKieranTopic001 No, I'm afraid we don't. Do you have a friend you wanted to bring in? VMS19VFSElizabethKieranTopic001 Like I said before, we don't. And I'm not inclined to discuss why. VMS19VFSElizabethKieranTopic003 You were right, but here, take another helping for your friend. It'll be our secret. VMS19VFSElizabethKieranTopic004 Well, now you know. Enjoy the food. VMS19VFSElizabethKieranTopic005 That's not really a pleasant topic of conversation. Let's just say we have our reasons. VMS19VFSElizabethKieranTopic008 You know Julie? Not everyone in the NCR sees eye-to-eye with the Followers, but they're okay in my book, mostly because of her. VMS19VFSElizabethKieranTopic008 If you really want to know, we sent an envoy to the King offering to coordinate the relief effort. VMS19VFSElizabethKieranTopic009 In a manner of speaking. Our envoy was brutally beaten, and only barely survived. My superiors ordered the relief mission scrapped. VMS19VFSElizabethKieranTopic009 I managed to get clearance to carry out the mission anyway, but with greatly reduced support. VMS19VFSElizabethKieranTopic009 Now there's not enough supplies to go around even if I wanted to serve the rest of Freeside, which I don't. VMS19VFSElizabethKieranTopic009 But that's all in the past now. I should get back to work. Say hi to Julie for me. VMS19VFSElizabethKieranTopic010 Our envoy was brutally beaten, and only barely survived. My superiors ordered the relief mission scrapped. VMS19VFSElizabethKieranTopic011 The man was brutally beaten, and only barely survived. My superiors ordered the relief mission scrapped. VMS19VFSElizabethKieranTopic013 Wh-? Guards! VMS19VFSElizabethKieranTopic014 Then he should watch his back. We know for a fact that the envoy made it to their headquarters. VMS19VFSElizabethKieranTopic014 Still, if the King's willing to deal with us, perhaps we can work something out. I'll tell my men to stand down. VMS19VFSElizabethKiernanTopic000 You're quite welcome. If you meet anyone who needs food or water in the area, please tell them about this place. VMS19VFSElizabethKiernanTopic020 Yes, I'm a major in the supply corps, which is where this food and water comes from. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic006 Ordinarily I'd take your word on that, but lately I've had several people lie and claim to be citizens just to take advantage of our program. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic006 But I've come up with a fairly simple way to tell who's lying. You up to taking a little test? VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic007 In that case, I'm sorry. Our program is only for citizens of the NCR. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic009 [SUCCEEDED] You don't look like you're from around here, so I guess I can believe that. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic009 Just head to the northwest part of town, by the old train station. We start handing out supplies at six every night. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic009 There'll be some guards by the door, but just remember that the password is Hope VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic009 [FAILED] I'd like to believe you, but I can't take the risk under current circumstances. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic010 Please, don't let me keep you if you have somewhere else to be. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic011 This'll just take a few moments, and it's all stuff that any real citizen of the NCR knows. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic011 Okay, first question. Who was the most popular president in NCR history, Kimball, Tibbett, Tandi, or Peterson? VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic012 Sorry to have bothered you, then. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic013 Interesting. Okay, next question - what was the original name of the NCR capital - The Boneyard, Shady Sands, Aradesh, or Vault 13? VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic015 Interesting. Okay, next question - what was the original name of the NCR capital - The Boneyard, Shady Sands, Aradesh, or Vault 13? VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic018 Fair enough. All right, last question - What animal is on the NCR's flag - a two-headed bear, an eagle, a two-headed snake, or a two-tailed lion? VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic019 Fair enough. All right, last question - What animal is on the NCR's flag - a two-headed bear, an eagle, a two-headed snake, or a two-tailed lion? VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic022 Very good! I'm happy to say you've proven you're definitely an NCR citizen, which means you qualify for our program. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic022 Just head to the northwest part of town, by the old train station. We start handing out supplies at six every night. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic022 There'll be some guards by the door, but just remember that the password is Hope VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic022 I'm sorry, but you didn't get all of the questions right, which proves you're not a citizen of the NCR. Sorry. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic023 I'm sorry, but you didn't get all of the questions right, which proves you're not a citizen of the NCR. Sorry. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic026 I probably shouldn't let you, but I suppose everyone has an bad day now and then. Did you want to take it now? VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic027 They should. I guess it's possible that some don't, but this stuff is pretty common knowledge. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic027 Tell you what, come back later and you can take the test again, okay? VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic028 Okay, here we go again. Who was the most popular president in NCR history, Kimball, Tibbett, Tandi, or Peterson? VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic029 That's fine. I'll let you take the test again whenever you choose to come back. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic030 Hey, wait up a moment. I can tell you're really upset that you didn't pass the test, so I'll let you take it again any time you want to come back. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker01Topic030 It'll be my good deed for the day. Take care now. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic006 Now, it's not that I don't believe you, but I'm going to have to give you a little quiz to verify your citizenship status. That okay with you? VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic007 Then I'm afraid I have nothing to offer you, sorry. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic009 That's a good attitude! I'm sure you'll do fine. These are just a few questions that just about anyone in the NCR would know. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic009 All right, here we go. First question. Who was the most popular president in NCR history - Peterson, Tibbett, Kimball, or Tandi? VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic010 You can always take it later. Stop back anytime. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic011 Uh huh. Okay, second question - what was the original name of the NCR capital - Aradesh, Shady Sands, The Boneyard, or Vault 13? VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic013 Uh huh. Okay, second question - what was the original name of the NCR capital - Aradesh, Shady Sands, The Boneyard, or Vault 13? VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic015 {Said slowly, player just said something dumb}Right. Fine then, last question - What animal is on the NCR's flag - a two-headed bear, an eagle, a two-headed snake, or a two-tailed lion? VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic016 {Said slowly, player just said something dumb}Right. Fine then, last question - What animal is on the NCR's flag - a two-headed bear, an eagle, a two-headed snake, or a two-tailed lion? VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic019 Good. You passed with flying colors. I told you it'd be fine. I expect you're wanting to know about that meal then, huh? VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic019 We're located up by the old train station, in the northwest part of town. Just tell the guards Hope" and they'll let you through." VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic019 Best of luck to you. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic019 Ooh, I'm sorry. It looks like you've got some of your facts mixed up. I'm afraid I can't help you. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic020 Ooh, I'm sorry. It looks like you've got some of your facts mixed up. I'm afraid I can't help you. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic023 I'm not really supposed to administer the test more than once, but what the hell? You're the only new face I've seen today. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic023 Did you want to take it again right away? VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic024 All right, here we go. First question - who was the most popular president in NCR history, Peterson, Tibbett, Kimball, or Tandi? VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic025 Just stop by and we'll go over it again. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic026 I'm sure some don't, but the loyal ones do. And that's who we're aiming to help - the loyal ones. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic026 Still, you've got a fire in you that tells me you're one of us and just screwed up, so I'll let you take the test again if you'd like. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic027 [SUCCEEDED] Now I know you're from the NCR! None of the vagrants around here would even think of giving their money away. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic027 We're located up by the old train station, in the northwest part of town. Just tell the guards Hope" and they'll let you through." VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic027 Best of luck to you. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic027 [FAILED] Look, we're trying to help people here. Put away your money. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic028 No need to get angry about this. Look, I'll let you take the test again if you want. Go and clear your mind and come back, and we'll try again. VMS19VFSOffDutyNCRBarker02Topic029 In that case, don't mind me. Carry on. VMS19VFSPacerTopic000 You're a bastard after my own heart. Here, this should do it. VMS19VFSPacerTopic001 [SUCCEEDED] Fine, here's some more, but you better keep you mouth shut! I'm out of here. Got some important business to take care of. VMS19VFSPacerTopic001 [FAILED] That's all you get. Now keep your mouth shut. Now if you'll pardon me, I got some important business to take care of. VMS19VFSPacerTopic002 Good, see that it stays that way. Now if you'll pardon me, I got some important business to take care of. VMS19VFSPacerTopic003 That's a shame. Well, do what you want. Just don't expect it to matter. VMS19VFSPacerTopic004 Exactly. Seeing that we're of one mind on this, I'll head out. I got business to take care of. VMS19VFSPacerTopic005 Why you lit- You're just lucky I got something important to take care of. We'll settle this later. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic000 Allright! I won't turn down a freebie. Shit, these days I almost can't pay my own in this two-faced, goddamn city any more. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic001 [SUCCEEDED] Ha ha! - damn straight! This is about the last place in this fucking city where I can burrow without having to look over my shoulder. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic002 [FAILED] Shit, not even down this rat-hole can I drink in peace? I don't need no friends. I just need you to get the fuck out of my sight. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic003 And I want a cute patron of this shit-hole to blow me over the pool-table, but that ain't happening either, is it? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic003 I'm in - ask. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic004 Good riddance. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic004 Until next round. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic005 [SUCCEEDED] Hey... I'm just worked up, okay. You're tough, right? You won't care about my stupid rambling then? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic006 Who isn't in trouble in New Vegas, uh? Sooner or later, you hit the bottom of the barrel - I just happened to fall harder than most, is all. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic006 I am just one more loser that got the evil-eye from Lady Luck - hard fall. Now I lay at the bottom and keep to myself. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic006 All right. About what do you want to know? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic007 From the top! Where else, uh? I am Carlitos - my fingers work the magic and my hands deal the luck! VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic007 There was no player who'd stood a chance, no wiseguy who didn't fear me, and no doll who could resist me. Gomorrah was my kingdom, Carlitos' turf! VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic008 Yeah, I could've ended buried in the sands with just my head sticking out. Ants love that - a riot, know what I mean? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic008 This place has come a long way. Sarah takes care of it and she lets me stay, for now. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic008 Yeah, I could've ended buried in the sands with just my head sticking out. Ants love that - a riot, know what I mean? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic008 {Enthusiasm muffled by sadness}This place has come a long way, but ever since Sarah's death it is not the same. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic009 All right. What do you want to know? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic010 If you're smart, the Strip's all flash and noise. If not, luck's your dame, your hot date, until you find she's a cheap whore high on Jet. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic011 Ha! There's only one important player in town, and that's Mr. House. Everyone keeps clean around him, the families, the barons - fuck, even the NCR. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic013 My recommendation, get the fuck out of town while you can. It'll leave you hanging in the wind or, worse, add your body to a concrete wall, okay? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic014 Hey, you're smart. Okay, it was like finding diamonds in your vodka and showgirls under your card-table. You want it, Gomorrah has it. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic014 It was heaven - until you find that all the glitter is made of broken dreams and all the praise hides a knife pointing at your ribs. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic015 I didn't just spend time there, I lived there, okay? I was family. All I wanted, I had. Caps, booze, drugs, women, power, you name it. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic015 It was heaven - until you find that all the glitter is made of broken dreams and all the praise hides a knife pointing at your ribs. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic016 Now, if you have to ask, you probably don't know shit about who you're dealing with, huh? Listen up - watch out for Cachino, that's all I'm saying. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic017 I'd recommend you save your caps and your skin. Check The Tops - no big time wiseguys there. Freeside's also fun, you know? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic017 There's too much shit and despair at Gomorrah already. I don't want anybody making it worse for Jo... for the girls, you know? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic019 What doesn't she do, huh? Sarah makes this hole look like a palace - damn nice pair of gams on her too. She never walks outside, though. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic020 Because Mr. House ripped this place to shreds before filling it with concrete. Hey, I was untouchable once, but Mr. House's a god - you got that? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic021 I... Okay, it's Joana. She... works at Gomorrah. But it's all my fault! I met her at the Atomic Wrangler - beautiful doesn't even come close. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic021 I moved her into Gomorrah. I was in love, okay? Then Cachino, backstabbing snake, got me out of the way so that he could have my girl. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic022 No dice. I already opened my trap more than I should. Walls have ears even all the way down in this hole, you know? Can't trust nobody. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic023 You know - straightening up bets, Gomorrah, success, women, all that shiny stuff. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic024 This place has come a long way. Sarah takes care of it and she lets me stay, for now. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic024 {Enthusiasm muffled by sadness}This place has come a long way, but ever since Sarah's death it is not the same. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic025 It was heaven - until you find that all the glitter is made of broken dreams and all the praise hides a knife pointing at your ribs. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic026 What about Joana? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic027 [FAILED] Ha ha ha! Okay, okay... stop or I'll choke, I swear. Listen, kid - I'll cut you some slack because nothing else in this town will, you hear? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic029 What, you think I can just waltz in there and take her away? She's their doll now, okay? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic029 Besides, I step in Gomorrah and I'm as good as dead, you hear? You don't just leave the Omertas unless it's in a body bag. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic030 He's a cunning bastard, Cachino. Told Nero and Big Sal he caught me spring cleaning my tributes to the family - can't do nothing against that viper. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic031 Don't know... She's a dream to me now... If I,{repeats with I mean" to give emphasis} I mean if I could have her again I'd be a made man." VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic031 {Reflects on his unfounded fear, having a break-through}Why am I even scared of Cachino and all those fuckers? Joana and I are dead anyway if we don't get the hell out of here. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic031 Okay, you try that and let me know. How she looks, what she's wearing, she's safe, anything - I'll pay you, you hear? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic031 Have you made up your mind? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic032 Don't know... She's a dream to me now... If I, I mean if I could have her again I'd be a made man. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic032 {Reflects on his unfounded fear, having a break-through}Why am I even scared of Cachino and all those fuckers? Joana and I are dead anyway if we don't get the hell out of here. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic032 Okay - you try that and let me know, okay? How she looks, what she's wearing, she's safe, anything - I'll pay you, you hear? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic032 Have you made up your mind? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic034 Deal! Come back with news soon, you hear? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic035 Dammit! You're going to leave me hanging, uh? Don't know how else I can get her back. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic036 Deal! Come back with news soon, you hear? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic037 Dammit! You're going to leave me hanging, uh? Don't know how else I can get her back. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic038 Hey, that's great. What's going on? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic039 That won't do... at all. Listen, it can't be the jet, Cachino's got her scared shitless. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic039 Find a way to make this work... please. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic040 She is...? Listen, no time to waste. Help her get to Freeside, that's our ticket out of this fucking city. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic040 I'll meet you there between midnight and dawn, though we could use some backup. We only got one chance to get this right, you hear? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic040 These guys in Freeside, good shots, right? They owe me big time. Tell'em that Carlitos' back to collect his chips, they'll know what do. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic041 Deal! Come back with news soon, you hear? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic042 What did you say...? I mean, Joana sent you? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic042 Please, tell me! Is she all right? When did you see her? What does she have to say? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic043 Then she has to know! I'm ready to help her escape, once and for all. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic043 {Reflects on his unfounded fear, having a break-through}Why am I even scared of Cachino and all those fuckers? Joana and I are dead anyway if we don't get the hell out of here. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic044 Dammit! You're going to leave me hanging, huh? Don't know how else I can get her back. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic044 Until next round. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic045 Questions can wait, Joana can't. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic046 Deal! Come back with news soon, you hear? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic048 Deal! Come back with news soon, you hear? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic049 Okay, you try that and let me know. How she looks, what she's wearing, she's safe, anything - I'll pay you, you hear? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic050 Deal! Come back with news soon, you hear? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic053 What about Joana? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic054 She'll have to go disguised. Gomorrah's packed around midnight and the bouncers won't notice just another patron leaving the joint. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic055 I'll be near the entrance but I need to keep out of sight. The Omertas have contacts, and they're still looking for me. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic056 All right! See you soon. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic056 All right! See you soon. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic057 Dammit! You're going to leave me hanging, uh? Don't know how else I can get her back. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic057 All right! See you soon. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic062 I take care of my debts. How can I repay you, friend? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic063 I take care of my debts. How can I repay you, friend? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic064 Are you leaving... just like that? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic064 Okay, friend, I hope to see you again, far away from this place. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic065 Really, you're one of a kind. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic065 Okay, friend, I hope to see you again, far away from this place. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic066 [SUCCEEDED] We have a deal, then. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic066 Okay, friend, I hope to see you again, far away from this place. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic067 [FAILED] No deal, we agreed on less than that. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic067 Okay, friend, I hope to see you again, far away from this place. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic069 What, you think I can just waltz in there and take her away? She's their doll now, okay? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic069 Besides, I step in Gomorrah and I'm as good as dead, you hear? You don't just leave the Omertas unless it's in a body bag. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic070 Whose doesn't, huh? Look, see Joana safely to Freeside and you'll cash in this favor, big time. VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic071 Deal! Come back with news soon, you hear? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic073 No... Joana! It can't be! She didn't deserve this, she didn't, you hear? VMS21aCarlitosWayneTopic073 It should've been me, not her... They will pay, right now! Out of my way! VMS21aVMS21aHiredGun01Topic000 {suspicious}Depends on why you're asking. VMS21aVMS21aHiredGun01Topic001 Let's just say it had something to do with the beards, and leave it at that. VMS21aVMS21aHiredGun01Topic002 See you around. VMS21aVMS21aHiredGun01Topic002 We'll take care of Carlitos, don't worry. VMS21aVMS21aHiredGun01Topic003 I see. Well, he can count on Little Beard and me for an assist. Tell us where and when, and we'll be there. VMS21aVMS21aHiredGun01Topic003 So you said. All Little Beard and me need to know is the when and where. VMS21aVMS21aHiredGun01Topic004 I see. Well, he can count on Little Beard and me for an assist. Tell us where and when, and we'll be there. VMS21aVMS21aHiredGun01Topic005 {intently - going into battle}The Beards will be there. VMS21aVMS21aHiredGun01Topic007 Sorry, but I can't tell you that. Trade secret. VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic000 What mission, what are you talking about? VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic001 Surrender. You don't seriously think that you can take on my crew, do you? VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic002 Profit? What sort of profit do you have in mind that would compensate for your lives. VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic003 Time to die! VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic004 What mission, what are you talking about? VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic005 [SUCCEEDED] All the dough!? Cachino once said this traitor flipped with thousands off the record. But, why wasn't I informed? VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic006 [SUCCEEDED] I see, yeah... he knows what we usually do to traitors. But all that profit is well worth sparing his miserable life. VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic006 Okay, carry on. And, we've never been here, you understand? Boss doesn't need to know about this. VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic007 [FAILED] You think me a fool? We wouldn't hire an outsider to deal with a traitor. VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic007 Time to die! VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic008 [FAILED] You think me a fool? We wouldn't hire an outsider to deal with a traitor. VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic008 Time to die! VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic009 [SUCCEEDED] They're not... are they? Okay, I'll deal with them later, after I deal with you by myself! VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic010 [SUCCEEDED] I... I've got to make sure our boss hears about this! Otherwise you'd be dead. VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic011 [FAILED] Time to die! VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic012 [FAILED] Time to die! VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic013 [SUCCEEDED] That much, huh? You're right, we could use a tribute to our... I mean, our family's coffers. VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic013 Okay, carry on. And, we've never been here, you understand? Boss doesn't need to know about this. VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic014 [FAILED] Sorry, no deal. Our loyalty to the family is not for sale. VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic015 [SUCCEEDED] That much, huh? You're right, we could use a tribute to our... I mean, our family's coffers. VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic015 Okay, carry on. And, we've never been here, you understand? Boss doesn't need to know about this. VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic016 [FAILED] Do you think us inferior men, willing to sell their soul for scraps! Enough of this. VMS21aVMS21aOmertaThug01Topic016 Time to die! VMS21BossGreeting So I assume you know why we called you here? VMS21BossGreeting Is this you asking for a last request? VMS21CachinoExecution1 Cachino, you've really disappointed me. VMS21CachinoExecution1 Cachino, we've been friends for a long time. A real long time, but this time you really fucked up. VMS21CachinoExecution1 I'm sorry boss... Sometimes I just can't control myself. I dunno what's wrong with me. I swear, I can turn this around. Just gimme another chance. VMS21CachinoExecution1 I know boss, and I know it is going to be hard for you to trust me again. But are you going to take the word of this outsider over mine? VMS21CachinoExecution1 You've been with the Family long enough to know how this goes. I'm sorry you had to fuck this up. Goodbye, you were a real benefit to the business. VMS21CachinoExecution1 I don't wanna fucking hear it. You've lost the trust of the family. Goodbye, I hope Hell isn't too hot for you. VMS21CachinoExecution2 I'm sorry boss... Sometimes I just can't control myself. I dunno what's wrong with me. I swear, I can turn this around. Just gimme another chance. VMS21CachinoExecution2 I know boss, and I know it is going to be hard for you to trust me again. But are you going to take the word of this outsider over mine? VMS21CachinoExecution3 You've been with the Family long enough to know how this goes. I'm sorry you had to fuck this up. Goodbye, you were a real benefit to the business. VMS21CachinoExecution3 I don't wanna fucking hear it. You've lost the trust of the family. Goodbye, I hope Hell isn't too hot for you. VMS21CachinoGun Hey, here is that gun I promised you. I suggest using it while they are talking, I'm pretty sure they're going to kill you after they've talked. VMS21CachinoGun Hey, I'll take care of them when you're ready, just say the word. I suggest doing it while they're talking to get the drop on them. VMS21ClandenArrest Clanden, under the authority of the New California Republic, I place you under arrest for murder. VMS21ClandenArrest What? Are you fucking kidding me? You can't do this, the Omertas aren't going to stand by and let you arrest me. VMS21ClandenArrest The Omertas have no say in this matter. This is a legal matter now. You'll have to come with us. VMS21ClandenArrest Alright. I'll come quietly, but this fucked. VMS21ClandenMurderRoom {Angry}What the fuck are you trying to pull here? Where is my girl? Now I'm gonna have to kill your sorry ass. VMS21ClandenMurderRoom Ok little lady, let's get started. You look like a tough piece of meat, I'm going to enjoy tenderizing you. VMS21OfficeBark Let's have some words. Take a seat on the couch so we can get to talking. VMS21OfficeBark Please, have a seat. Let's have a bit of a pow-wow. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic000 That's great to hear, really great. I am Sheldon, from Vault 21, although here I go by my artistic name, Michael Angelo."" VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic000 So, what brings you here? VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic001 {Hesitant Warning}[FAILED] I know important people here in the Strip. Powerful people. You, uh, can't get anything out of me. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic002 {Frantically Apologetic}[SUCCEEDED] I am sorry, meant no offense. The billboards are not ready yet... Please, I need more time, more materials! VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic003 {Taking Offense}Because spending myself to the edge of artistic oblivion for Mr. House sums up my existence since I had to leave Vault 21, that's why. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic004 Oh... All right. So, Ah... Bye. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic005 {Fearful}What!? No, please! Here, take the caps but please don't hurt me! VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic006 Most people don't, uh, understand what it means to grow up in a vault. Its corridors, its walls, radiate a warmth that feels, safe, honest. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic006 But here everything is huge and threatening - so empty that I think one of these days I'll just... snap. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic007 {Accusative, then thoughtful nostalgia}It's this place - my inspiration ebbs and I don't know how to stop it! I can't feel the warmth anymore... VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic008 Well, I, uh, not much, really. Vault 21 was my home, my dear home. I left it to explore the outside world. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic008 At first it was a marvel to behold. My inspiration flowed true and its works caught Mr. House's attention. That's how I ended up in this... place. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic009 [SUCCEEDED] I should've known that Mr. House wouldn't have sent just anybody. Anything I might I offer to, well, encourage discretion? VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic010 [SUCCEEDED] I should've known that Mr. House wouldn't have sent just anybody. Anything I might I offer to, well, encourage discretion? VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic011 {Suddenly Suspicious}Wait a minute... Do you even know what I do here? Who are you, really? VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic012 [SUCCEEDED] You've made your point. What would it take to... convince you to keep silent until I manage to finish Mr. House's requests? VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic013 [FAILED]Sorry excuses?.. That's does it! Tell Mr. House to hire a better artist, if he can find one in this barren wasteland! VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic014 {Surprised Relief}You were, really? Okay. For a moment I thought you were going to tighten my screws - like everyone else around here. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic015 {Angry Resignation}[SUCCEEDED] Yeah, I imagine that it takes a lot to fill the void of such a bottomless soul. Take the caps and leave me to my sorrows. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic016 {Taking Offense}[FAILED] What!? I don't get paid near enough to what my talent deserves!? A 150 caps is my final offer. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic017 {Fearful}What!? No, please! Here, take the caps but please don't hurt me! VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic018 {Hesitant Warning}[FAILED] I know important people here in the Strip. Powerful people. You, uh, can't get anything out of me. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic019 Here. Now, please leave me be. I have had enough bullying for today. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic020 Here. Now, please leave me be. I have had enough bullying for today. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic021 {Taking Offense}Because spending myself to the edge of artistic oblivion for Mr. House sums up my existence since I had to leave Vault 21, that's why. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic022 [SUCCEEDED] Ah, an educated fellow? Now that is almost as rare as artistry! So, how can you help me regain my inspiration? VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic023 Maybe you are thinking of Agoraphobia? Yes, you are right. I need something to bring back my inspiration. Any ideas? VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic024 Yes, I think so... But, please, uh, keep quiet about it. Without inspiration I am as good as a tumbleweed drifting in the barren wasteland. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic025 I feel haunted by something terrible. Working in such a huge workshop often makes me shiver... I can't even leave the Strip! VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic026 Wouldn't that be great... No - Mr. House filled it with concrete. Only a few rooms and halls remain. My sister was able to turn them into a hotel. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic027 {Accusative, then thoughtful nostalgia}It's this place - my inspiration ebbs and I don't know how to stop it! I can't feel the warmth anymore... VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic028 {Surprised Relief}You were, really? Okay. For a moment I thought you were going to tighten my screws - like everyone else around here. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic029 {Angry Resignation}[SUCCEEDED] Yeah, I imagine that it takes a lot to fill the void of such a bottomless soul. Take the caps and leave me to my sorrows. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic030 {Taking Offense}[FAILED] What!? I don't get paid near enough to what my talent deserves!? A 150 caps is my final offer. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic031 What? Are you serious? I am an artist! I need inspiration, not therapy. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic032 Stop right there!... I'm sorry, but there's nothing wrong with my brain. What I need is something that inspires ideas back into my work. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic033 I... what does this have to do with my - never mind! I just can't go outside, get it? There has to be another way. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic034 {Sudden Realization}Thank you for the offer but I think I really can't go to see... wait a minute. I know! I don't have to necessarily be there to see it. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic035 Yes. Yes! That's it! I have a camera! It is old but it should work. Perhaps you could bring me images of inspiring landmarks? VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic036 I always wanted to see the Dinosaur and its Thermometer sign at Novac. Then, there's the famous Bison Steve sign. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic036 The McCarran Airfield and the Helios One power station signs are of much interest to my work - like the Sunset Sarsaparrilla Headquarter's bottle. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic037 There's an opportunity for profit anywhere, uh? Even if it means preying on the helpless. Okay, you... shuckster - 150 caps each if they are good. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic038 {Fearful}What!? No, please! Here, take the caps but please don't hurt me! VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic039 Thank you! I really can't thank you enough for this. Please, get me all the pictures. I will compensate you accordingly. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic039 Oh, and if you need more camera film then just come back and I will get it for you. Again, thank you! VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic040 Oh, that's wonderful! Just what I need. Thank you, brave one! Here's some compensation for your work. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic041 I always wanted to see the Dinosaur and its Thermometer sign at Novac. Then, there's the famous Bison Steve sign. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic041 The McCarran Airfield and the Helios One power station signs are of much interest to my work - like the Sunset Sarsaparrilla Headquarter's bottle. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic042 {Fearful}What!? No, please! Here, take the caps but please don't hurt me! VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic043 {Still afraid}Now that you have all you care for, please... leave, and don't come back! VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic044 Aaaaahhhhh - Help! VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic045 I am Sheldon, from Vault 21, although here I go by my artistic name, Michael Angelo."" VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic046 Most people don't, uh, understand what it means to grow up in a vault. Its corridors, its walls, radiate a warmth that feels, safe, honest. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic046 But here everything is huge and threatening - so empty that I think one of these days I'll just... snap. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic047 Well, I, uh, not much, really.

VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic049 The McCarran Airfield and the Helios One power station signs are of much interest to my work - like the Sunset Sarsaparrilla Headquarter's bottle. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic050 You have earned it, my friend! Now I can finally unveil my masterpieces to the world, all thanks to you. Come visit me again sometime. VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic055 {Fearful}What!? No, please! Here, take the caps but please don't hurt me! VMS22VMAKathleenTopic000 You saw our front sign, didn't you? This is where all the beautiful signs of the Strip become a reality. VMS22VMAKathleenTopic000 It all comes from Michael Angelo's imagination. We do a little work here and there too, sure, but he's the real artist. VMS22VMAKathleenTopic000 You saw our front sign, didn't you? This is where all the beautiful signs of the Strip become a reality. VMS22VMAKathleenTopic001 Check out the back of the shop, he's usually working there. VMS22VMAKathleenTopic002 Bye. VMS22VMAKathleenTopic003 He's the reason the Strip shines like a star at night. Mike's imagined and built every sign, billboard and light you'll see around here. VMS22VMAKathleenTopic005 I've been here over a year now. Though I'm not one to get tied for long. VMS22VMAKathleenTopic005 I plan to roam the Wasteland once I'm ready. The people need light and kindness, there's too much fear and pain out there already. VMS22VMAKathleenTopic007 He's the reason the Strip shines like a star at night. Mike's imagined and built every sign, billboard and light you'll see around here. VMS22VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic000 Here. VMS22VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic001 {Surprised}You mean, Mitch? It's been ages since I've heard the name. My sister and I used to call him Mole-butt." Don't ask." VMS22VMS22MichaelAngeloTopic001 That was a long time ago, before we exchanged the warmth of our home for the thin air of the Wasteland. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic005 Interested in Politics, huh? Well, grab a seat and get comfortable. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic005 I've been in politics quite a while now. Always had the drive to do it, even when I was young. It's just something I was drawn to. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic005 I started my career over twenty years ago back in the NCR as the local mayor and worked my way up from there. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic005 I managed President Kimball's first run for a seat on the Council. {smiling at the obviousness of it}I suppose that's why I have this ambassadorship. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic006 I'm glad to see you've given it some thought. Are you willing to go talk to them? VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic006 Thanks for doing this. Remember, we need their resources to help us in the upcoming battle. Do whatever it takes. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic006 I hope you've returned with good news. Are they willing to help the NCR? VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic006 What's the word with the Boomers? Have you talked with them yet? VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 That's a conversation we might be able to have some day - once you've shown more respect for my country. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 I can provide a quick history lesson, if that's what you're looking for. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 In 2274, President Kimball sent the NCR army into the Mojave in force, with the objective of occupying and repairing Hoover Dam. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 Rangers and army scouts had confirmed that the dam was basically unoccupied and could be restored to an operable condition. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 Upon arriving at the dam, however, they discovered that a large force of tribals and robots had occupied it. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 This was our introduction to the Three Families, the Securitrons, and, of course, Mr. House. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 Using his Securitrons as intermediaries, Mr. House called for parlay. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 He claimed his forces had occupied Hoover Dam in order to safeguard it for our arrival. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 And that he was ready to turn it over to us, so long as we could agree to terms. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 Those terms became the Treaty of New Vegas. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 The Treaty recognized Mr. House's sovereignty over the Strip and granted us rights to establish military bases at the Dam and McCarran Airport. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 The NCR is legally permitted to send 95% of the electricity produced by the dam to our home states. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 The remaining 5% goes to the Strip. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 The treaty actually makes it illegal for the NCR to prevent its citizens, or troops on furlough, from visiting the Strip. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 Once on the Strip, our citizens are subject to arrest - or punishment - by House's Securitrons, though that's a rare occurrence. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 Our troops enjoy a different status. It's illegal for the Securitrons to take action against them. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 Of course, it's also illegal for our troops to carry firearms on the Strip, so there isn't much trouble they can get into. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 Our military police does an adequate job of keeping the troops on furlough in line. I don't envy them that task. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 The embassy was established a few weeks after the Treaty was signed. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 Basically Mr. House handed us a dumpy little building he had no interest in renovating. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 I'm the third ambassador to hold this post. And the first, I think, to accept its limitations. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 My predecessors had ambitions of engineering the annexation of the Mojave. They thought they'd convince Mr. House to join up. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 I've never even spoken to the man - or whatever he is. Maybe the situation will change once we've beaten the Legion once and for all. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic009 You know where to find me. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic011 If that's all you came here to talk about, you're wasting my time. Get to the point, or get out of my office. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic011 I know you have a penchant for getting into trouble, but I'd recommend against that here. The Securitrons on the Strip aren't to be trifled with. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic011 Perhaps I'll have Captain Pappas keep an eye on you. For your own safety, of course. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic011 It's the same old stuff around here. Gambling, debauchery, drunkenness. It's all here. I'm getting a little old for it, however. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic011 If you want more information try talking to some of the other guys around here. I don't get out of the office much anymore. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic012 That's disappointing. They could have been a big help to us. I guess we'll just have to do without. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic013 I'm glad you could make it! I have something that I wanted to discuss with you. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic013 It's a very important matter, and I have a strong feeling that you're the perfect person for the job. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic013 You received my message, good. I realize that it may seem a little strange that I'm contacting you, considering your reputation... VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic013 But I have a business proposition to discuss with you. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic013 Ah, I see you received my message. Good, good - I had something important to discuss with you. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic014 I'm going to keep this as simple as possible so we don't waste each other's time. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic014 The NCR is in a bit of a tight spot with all that is going on with Mr. House and the Legion. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic014 And despite your reputation and previous actions with the NCR, we could use your help. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic014 I'm sure you've noticed that things are a little tense around here with all the issues between the NCR, the Legion, and Mr. House. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic014 It doesn't take a genius to see that something big is going to happen soon. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic014 To be honest with you, the NCR is in a tight spot. {slightly dramatic}But... if we fail now, it's the people here that are going to suffer the most. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic014 I'm not willing to let that happen, and I don't think you're the kind of person that would either. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic015 Sorry to hear that. Do me a favor and give it some more thought. I'll be here if you change your mind. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic016 That's excellent news! So they'll help us? VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic017 That's disappointing. They could have been a big help to us. I guess we'll just have to do without. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic018 Excellent, come back after you've spoken to them. They should see the benefits of helping us in the long-term. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic019 Much appreciated. Once you've talked to them, let me know what they have to say. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic020 I'm going to keep this as simple as possible. The NCR is in a bit of a tight spot with all that's going on, and I need someone like you to help me. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic020 In exchange for your help, you would receive complete amnesty for any past crimes against the NCR, as well as additional benefits and perks. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic020 And if you prove to be a loyal and capable agent, well... let's just say there's a lot of work to be done, and the NCR is a good friend to have. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic020 To the Northeast is a settlement. The locals here call them Boomers. They are sitting on a munitions stockpile that would be invaluable to us. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic020 I would like you to get in contact with them, and then do whatever it takes to convince them to help us. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic020 Someone with your background and reputation would have a better chance of reaching them than anyone I have available. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic021 Excellent work. I can't tell you how useful that will be. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic021 In any event, I have another assignment ready and waiting for you. But we can speak of it later. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic021 Rest up, and when you're ready, speak to me again. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic022 That's great. They're going to give us an advantage in the battle ahead. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic023 Let me know as soon as you have an answer from them. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic025 Oh... very well then. What else can I do for you? VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic026 Now we mostly just keep track of the NCR citizens and troopers around and make sure they don't get in trouble, but that's Captain Pappas' job. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic026 I keep myself busy with paperwork and reports that get sent back to the NCR. It's mostly busy work, but every once in awhile, we make progress. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic027 {Proud}I was elected to this post seven years ago. {Pride escalating}I'm the third NCR representative to serve here in Vegas. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic027 {Beat, still proud}Now, I've had my share of ups and downs along the way, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic027 That's it. Anything else you wished to know? VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic028 {slightly disappointed}Oh yes, sure sure. Ask away. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic030 To the northeast is a settlement, the locals here call them Boomers." They are sitting on a munitions stockpile that would be invaluable to us." VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic030 I'd like you to get in contact with them, and then do whatever it takes to convince them to help us. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic030 Unfortunately, the Boomers keep to themselves and are, let's say, hostile to all outsiders. That is why I need someone like you. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic030 Someone with your background and reputation would have a better chance of reaching them than anyone I have available. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic030 In exchange for your help, you would receive complete amnesty for any past crimes against the NCR, as well as additional benefits and perks. VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic030 Do you think you would be able to do this for me? VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic031 I'm sorry that you think so. However, if you do happen to change your mind, you can find me here at the embassy. VMS25EthelPhebusTopic000

VMS25EthelPhebusTopic001 He's got his reasons. And when that man gets a notion stuck in his head, he's like a Bighorner bull that's seen red. VMS25EthelPhebusTopic001 And if it means Heck Gunderson's involved, then you better step aside before the stampede tramples you over. VMS25EthelPhebusTopic001 It's not my place to say much, Walter thinks this is a man's job. I swear, I won't see the day he'll get over that Heck Gunderson. VMS25EthelPhebusTopic002 Oh, a good ways west of here, in a place you've never been. Far as we concerned, only name it ever had was Phebus Ranch."" VMS25EthelPhebusTopic002 That was before we lost some land to Heck Gunderson. The bank demanded payment in full the day after the Stockmen's Association bailed it out. VMS25EthelPhebusTopic003 If that's what you want to talk about, go see Walter. He'll talk your ear off. VMS25EthelPhebusTopic003 Everything he says about the evils of Heck Gunderson is true, but I've never held the notion that fighting evil with evil carries the world forward. VMS25EthelPhebusTopic003 I'm done talking about that man. If that's what you want, step on over to Walter. VMS25EthelPhebusTopic004 A good life if you don't mind hard work. The only real fuss is the constant bother with varmints. VMS25EthelPhebusTopic004 Fail to catch Molerats early in their breeding, and you'll have three or four head breaking their ankles in Molerat holes every day. VMS25EthelPhebusTopic004 Of course, the worst varmint at all is a Brahmin Baron with his hands in the pockets of a Republic senator. VMS25EthelPhebusTopic004 That's a problem you can't solve with a Varmint Rifle, though I fear my husband's apt to try. He's got Heck Gunderson in his sights right now. VMS25EthelPhebusTopic005 All right, goodbye. VMS25EthelPhebusTopic005 That's very kind of you. Maybe this'll be the dawn of a new day. VMS25EthelPhebusTopic005 I'm not surprised. You don't see folks rushing to help each other around here. VMS25EthelPhebusTopic031 I don't suppose you have the magic powers necessary to bring my husband to his senses, do you? VMS25EthelPhebusTopic031 He swears he won't leave this godforsaken city until he's seen Heck suffer. So far as I can see, we're the only ones in pain. VMS25EthelPhebusTopic031 As I was saying, I'd be grateful if you could convince Walter to give up this doomed crusade of his. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic000 [SUCCEEDED] Sharp eyes on you, all right. We've gone through a heap of trouble to get in town. Ethel says I just need to wet my throat. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic000 A drink? Nonsense. All I need right now is to settle a score. We didn't come a long ways just to stroll our best clothes around. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic001 [FAILED] A drink? Nonsense. All I need right now is to settle a score. We didn't come a long ways just to stroll our best clothes around. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic002 I got some time - what's eating you? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic003 All right, kid! Be good. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic004 Okay. What'd you want know? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic005 I know it better than my wife's corset! What about it, kid? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic006 I hear you. What's on your mind? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic007 There's a long list of grievances that Heck Gunderson's got to answer for, kid. I'm here to make sure that rancher" stops stealing our lands." VMS25WalterPhebusTopic007 If he ain't chiseling behind your back, he just sends his men, ready for a fight. Then you either sell" your ranch for a penny or you're dead." VMS25WalterPhebusTopic007 I'm tired of being trampled over, kid, and I got a good mind to stop Heck once and for all. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic007 I came to take care of Heck Gunderson. That bastard's taking over any ranch he spots in The Wasteland. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic009 You have? What are you waiting for, kid? Spill the beans! VMS25WalterPhebusTopic012 {Bragging Jokingly}Steeling our pure-breed resolve, that's how! We've faced the Wasteland right in the old mug and told her to shove it! VMS25WalterPhebusTopic012 Listen, we own these lands, and I'll be damned if the NCR, those Legion bastards, or anyone else tries to walk all over us. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic012 {Serious}Listen, we own these lands, and I'll be damned if the NCR, those Legion bastards, or anyone else tries to walk all over us. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic013 A ransom? I doubt that snake's got enough soul to care that much for his own youngin. Besides, what's to stop him after his son's returned? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic013 Nah, Heck only knows greed and pain, kid. It's high time he got paid back in kind. His life, or his son's, either way I win. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic014 [SUCCEEDED] I'll pay that much and die a happy man when my time comes. So, we got a deal? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic015 [FAILED] Cut that in half and we got a clean deal, kid. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic016 I hear you. What's on your mind? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic017 Darn far it is, our ranch. Ethel would be happy to yap about that - I got more important things in mind, kid. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic018 Bighorners' my trade since I was a youngin. I confess it's hard living these days, kid. The Wasteland ain't the same anymore. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic019 What more you want? He's a slithering snake, what he is. One of the biggest landowners this side of the Colorado and it's all stolen, I tell you. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic019 All that money buys him any NCR senators he wants - scoundrels, like Heck. There's just no way for us small folks to get by, much less prosper, kid. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic020 Sure, kid, and I still hump like a buck in Spring. That Gunderson's a liar and born of a viper, I swear. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic021 I have no illusions that he'll ever stop his plundering. So I'm just going to make him suffer, that's what I'm going to do. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic021 Here, in town, he's got few of his armed men to protect him. I just got to find out what's he up to and then I'll know where to hit him hard. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic021 Like I said, kid. Someone's got to rein that greedy son of a gun. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic022 I'll be damned! You mean the young Gunderson? That's a shave tail if I ever saw one - he's got less sense than a Brahmin at a crossroads. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic022 I'd not be one to complain if he got lost for good, kid... If it makes Heck suffer then I'm all for it. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic023 Where I come from, we appreciate good intentions. I reckon you could help me figure out what's he doing in town. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic023 Tell you what, that chiseler's blowing hot air at that over there fancy casino - The Ultra-Luxe. Find out what's his story here, will you? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic024 [FAILED] Cut that in half and we got a clean deal, kid. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic024 Where I come from, we appreciate good intentions. I reckon you could help me figure out what's he doing in town. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic024 Tell you what, that chiseler's blowing hot air at that over there fancy casino - The Ultra-Luxe. Find out what's his story here, will you? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic025 All right, kid! I appreciate it. I hope to see you soon. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic026 [SUCCEEDED] All right, kid! I'm taking a liking to you. It's a deal. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic026 Where I come from, we appreciate good intentions. I reckon you could help me figure out what's he doing in town. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic026 Tell you what, that chiseler's blowing hot air at that over there fancy casino - The Ultra-Luxe. Find out what's his story here, will you? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic027 That's okay, kid. I understand - let me know if you change your mind, will you? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic028 All right, kid! I appreciate it. I hope to see you soon. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic030 All right, kid! I appreciate it. I hope to see you soon. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic032 We are honest folk out there, damn hard to make a living in the desert, kid. Heck's a different breed, goddamn thief he is. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic032 Scaring us into giving away our lands is all he's done to strike it flush - comes packing iron and none can hold a candle to his men - bad blood. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic033 Ethel's going to be madder than a wet hen but you reap what you sow, kid, and Heck's earned every ounce of misery he gets. So, we have a deal? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic034 [SUCCEEDED] You'll leave me drier than tumbleweed, kid, but I reckon anything I can do to get back at Heck is well worth the expense. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic034 Ethel's going to be madder than a wet hen but you reap what you sow, kid, and Heck's earned every ounce of misery he gets. So, we have a deal? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic035 [FAILED] Cut that in half and we got a clean deal, kid.

VMS25WalterPhebusTopic036 I won't hold it against you, kid. You got to do your clean thing, I respect that. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic038 Darn far it is, our ranch. Ethel would be happy to yap about that - I got more important things in mind, kid. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic039 Bighorners' my trade since I was a youngin. I confess it's hard living these days, kid. The Wasteland ain't the same anymore. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic040 I'll be damned! You mean the young Gunderson? That's a shave tail if I ever saw one - he's got less sense than a Brahmin at a crossroads. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic040 I'd not be one to complain if he got lost for good, kid... If it makes Heck suffer then I'm all for it. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic041 Kid, look around you, there's poison and death everywhere, and people like Heck are responsible for the misery we suffer. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic041 What right do they have to continue with their mischief and killing, huh? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic042 Good work. I'm sorry that stupid mail-order cowboy ended like that but his father's misery makes it well worthy. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic042 This deserves a good compensation, kid. How does that sound? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic043 Hahaha! Yeeeehaw! Now, that's something I thought I'd never hear. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic043 This deserves a good compensation, kid. How does that sound? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic044 All right, kid! Be good. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic045 All right, kid! Be good. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic046 All right, kid! Be good. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic047 All right, kid! Be good. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic048 All right, kid! Be good. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic049 I hear you. What's on your mind? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic050 So, Ted's nowhere to be found and Heck's quite unprotected while looking for him, huh? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic050 Hell, it sounds like the perfect time to get even. Heck won't know what hit him, what do you say? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic051 That's what we said. So, do we have a deal? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic052 That's what we said. So, do we have a deal? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic053 That's what we said. So, do we have a deal? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic054 That's what we said. So, do we have a deal? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic055 Both Gundersons, gone? I'll be damned, you are one of a kind! VMS25WalterPhebusTopic055 This deserves a good compensation, kid. How does that sound? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic057 All right, kid! Be good. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic059 [FAILED] Same, the right of might, kid. The Gundersons will pay for all their crimes and that's final. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic060 [SUCCEEDED] Hell, a good thrashing is what I want to give them but I see your point, kid. Things will never change without us good folks. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic060 All right, I'm going to get Ethel far away from this damned city and head back home. There's a worthy life waiting for us there. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic060 Thanks for your help, kid. So long! VMS25WalterPhebusTopic064 Hahaha! Yeeeehaw! Now, that's something I thought I'd never hear. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic064 All right, I'm going to get Ethel far away from this damned city and head back home. There's a worthy life waiting for us there. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic066 People like Heck are rotten, kid, plenty of them in the Wasteland. They'll shoot you, kidnap your family, or drive NCR troops through your lands. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic066 Whatever it takes to step over us honest folk is good enough in their book. Heck has bought NCR senators left and right, and then is even worse. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic068 You have? What are you waiting for, kid? Spill the beans! VMS25WalterPhebusTopic069 Hahaha! Yeeeehaw! Now, that's something I thought I'd never hear. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic069 This deserves a good compensation, kid. How does that sound? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic070 Good work. I'm sorry that stupid mail-order cowboy ended like that but his father's misery makes it well worthy. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic070 This deserves a good compensation, kid. How does that sound? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic071 Both Gundersons, gone? I'll be damned, you are one of a kind! VMS25WalterPhebusTopic071 This deserves a good compensation, kid. How does that sound? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic073 [SUCCEEDED] You'll leave me drier than tumbleweed, kid, but I reckon anything I can do to get back at Heck is well worth the expense. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic073 I'm a man of my word. Here's your money. You've earned it. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic073 [FAILED] Cut that in half and we got a clean deal, kid. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic073 I'm a man of my word. Here's your money. You've earned it. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic074 You don't want anything in return? That's rare in these times, got to say. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic074 All right, kid! I appreciate it. I hope to see you soon. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic075 You don't want anything in return? That's rare in these times, got to say.

VMS25WalterPhebusTopic091 That's what we said. So, do we have a deal? VMS25WalterPhebusTopic092 All right, kid! I appreciate it. I hope to see you soon. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic094 {Hint of Irony}Hell, it's all dangerous. Know why? Because you can't trust anything that stands on two legs. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic094 If you're looking for the real trouble, head straight into the mountains. Men don't walk up there, for good reasons, kid. VMS25WalterPhebusTopic094 If you're looking for the real trouble, head straight into the mountains. Men don't walk up there, for good reasons, kid. VMS25WalterPheebusTopicEthelDead Ethel, darling!{Pause, as anger boils inside - wife just got killed} I'll... I'll join you soon again! Someone's gonna pay first, though. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic000 It just so happens a position opened up recently. It's not much, but it'll be a good way for me to gauge your potential for future assignments. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic000 It just so happens a position opened up recently. We currently need another body to guard the entrance outside. Think you can handle that? VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic000 Ran out of caps, eh? The job's still available, if you're interested. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic000 You're in luck. We've interviewed a few people for the courier position, but they all seem so... untrustworthy. Ready to make some money? VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic000 And? Don't leave me in suspense. What was their reaction? VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic001 Wonderful. I already have a man outside who can show you the ropes and get you set up. His name is Simon. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic001 He's been with the family for years, so listen to what he says, and follow his instructions. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic002 Suit yourself. Was there anything else you wanted? VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic003 Not at all. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic004 Yes it is. My brother and I run this particular branch, but our family has operations all over, particularly in California. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic006 Look around, and you'll notice two things. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic006 First, we don't lack for security. I'm not worried about anyone breaking in here or stealing our goods. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic006 Not that we don't occasionally have attempts, but even those prove useful. Do you know how much target dummies cost? VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic006 Back to my point, the second thing you'll notice is that we do not sell cheap merchandise. Everything here is second-to-none. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic006 People who buy Van Graff goods typically don't care where they have to go to get them. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic007 This place is certainly lively, that's for sure. Did you want to know something specific about it? VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic008 Oh, there's not much to tell. I was born into a big family and don't get along with my parents, so here I am. As far away from them as possible. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic009 Unfortunately, I found someone else with a little more experience, and he'll take over the position starting tomorrow. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic009 However, another task has come up that I could use some help with, assuming you're still interested in making some money? VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic009 You basically let every jackass off the street march in here. That doesn't say much for your judgement. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic009 Still, you did manage to prevent that psychopath from blowing this place up. That deserves some reward, at least. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic009 Then you robbed me of my revenge on that prancing asshole of a King. For that alone, I should kill you. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic009 You kept away the undesirables, patted down the rest for weapons, and kept your cool. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic009 That is to say, you performed as instructed. Simon was impressed, and so am I. So you get a small bonus with your normal pay. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic009 You had a little bit of a hard time following instructions, but didn't do too bad overall. Here's your pay. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic010 There's a deal that we've been working on for a while now and the buyer would like a sample of our weapons. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic010 I need you to run a package out to a discrete location that the client has chosen. Sound good? VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic011 Well, look who doesn't need my money any more. When you find your pockets a little lighter, stop back. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic011 It's a courier job, so it should be easy caps. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic013 Good, here's the package. I'll mark the location on your map. The buyer said they'd be in town for quite a while so there's no rush. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic013 That said, try not to dawdle. This client could mean big money for us, which naturally means big money for you. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic014 Very well. Let me know if you change your mind. The buyer said they'd be in town for quite a while, so there's no rush. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic014 My men have their hands full with our other operations, so unless I can find another courier, the job will still be available. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic015 Good... good. Here's your payment. If you'll excuse me, I have some thinking to do. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic015 Oh, Jean-Baptiste was talking about a matter earlier that he needs help with. I volunteered you. See him for the details. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic016 It's better if you don't ask. Now I believe I asked you a question. What was their reaction? VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic018 Perfect. We're still getting everything together, but I can always find a use for idle hands in the meantime. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic018 Once we're settled, we'll head out to the rendezvous point. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic019 That's okay, I still need some time to get everything together. The logistics of an order like this are headache inducing. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic019 We won't need to head out for a while yet, so stop back when you have the time. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic021 I don't have time to explain now. Just do as you're told and we'll all be rich. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic022 That's what I like about you. You follow orders, for the most part. Just remember to wait for the signal. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic023 Not if we don't screw this up. I'm counting on you to do your part. Just wait for the signal. You'll know what to do. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic024 You're welcome here any time. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic025 We made a lot of money, that's what. The Legion paid us to deliver weapons, and the NCR paid us to deliver the Legion. Or some of them, anyway. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic026 Oh, I do. They're a bunch of corrupt, bullying fools who think they can tell everyone how to live their lives, and my family's fought them for years. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic026 But that's just it. Do you know how large the NCR army is? If they wanted to, they could have beaten us a dozen times over. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic026 Do you know why they haven't? Money. Every time things have gotten too tense, we've paid them off and laid low for a while. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic026 They're an enemy we can live with. This Caesar, on the other hand, is a different animal. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic026 We've heard reports for years from our agents to the east. He doesn't tolerate his enemies, he makes examples of them. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic026 And he doesn't have friends. Only servants. And the Van Graffs serve no one but themselves. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic026 Given that, the choice was rather simple. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic027 Caesar has been making overtures to prominent suppliers for some time now. Usually, they're too scared of him to cross him and just pay or flee. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic027 I saw an opportunity and negotiated a deal with the NCR - I help draw some of their enemy's troops into a trap and they agree to buy from me. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic027 Normally, those stuck-up bastards wouldn't have anything to do with us, but their situation is precarious, and this chance was too tempting. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic028 Well... not exactly. The deal wasn't exactly sanctioned by my mother, but she'll come around when she hears about the profit I made. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic028 If she's smart, and she is, believe me, she'll turn this to her own advantage and make a bundle off our new connections" in the NCR." VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic029 Hardly. They've got a lot of soldiers, and slaves. But they don't come close to having the amount of wealth the NCR has. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic029 When I said we were going to be rich, I meant it. The deal I brokered with the NCR netted me fives times what Caesar paid. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic029 Keeping Caesar's money was just a bonus. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic030 It'll be all I can do to supply the NCR with the amount of weapons they want, so I'll be pretty busy for the foreseeable future. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic030 Oh, you're probably wondering if you still have a job! I don't have anything open at the moment, sadly. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic030 But we're going to need all the help we can get transporting guns to the NCR, so stop by every now and then and I might have a delivery job for you. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic030 And before I forget, here's your share of the take from the warehouse job. You can keep the armor. Thanks again for all your help. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic031 Ah, the rulers" of Freeside. The Kings are a bunch of boys who refuse to grow up VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic031 Their leader seems different, though. The few times I've dealt with him I've been impressed despite myself. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic031 Unfortunately, he rarely acts. The Kings believe that everyone in Freeside can do whatever they want, provided they can back it up with force. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic031 Which suits us just fine. When we first arrived in Freeside, the Kings protested when we kicked out the original occupant of this establishment. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic031 When we reduced several of their members to glowing puddles of goo, their objections vanished. Since then, we've left each other alone. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic032 I don't really have much to do with them. They seem to have an aversion to weapons technology, and those who possess a great deal of it. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic032 Their loss, really. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic033 Well, you probably noticed the Atomic Wrangler across the street. That's pretty much the place to go around here. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic033 They make it a little loud around here at night, but the business their proximity brings more than makes up for it. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic033 Other than them, you're better off skipping Freeside entirely and just heading to the Strip. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic034 Suits me. What did you have in mind? VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic035 It's just a rumor. Even so, I trust you will refrain from bringing up this subject again. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic036 You must not know a lot about my family or you wouldn't have asked that. The Van Graffs and the NCR have been enemies for decades. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic036 They've tried to block our expansion for years, but we've managed to grow regardless. The problem is they have, too. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic036 The NCR is huge, now. We're talking on a scale that's difficult to imagine. Time was, we could fight them and hold our own. Not so anymore. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic036 My family has enough men and guns to field a small army, but the NCR can field a really, really big army. Fighting them is out of the question now. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic037 I've only heard rumors, since this is the furthest east our operations go. But the rumors are pretty scary. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic037 They're said to be a huge slaver nation, with all the soldiers obeying their lord with unquestioning obedience. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic037 Sounds like a man I'd like to meet. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic038 Very little, same as everyone else. We attempted to deal with him when we first moved into the area, but had no luck. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic038 He must have his own weapons supplies to keep as many laser-armed robots operational as he does. Makes me wonder where they are... VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic039 They're our chief competitors in this region, and many others. That makes them our enemies. VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic039 While I respect their business acumen, I'm obligated to try to destroy them however I can. That's business, after all. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic000 All right then. If we're going to work together, there's only one thing you need to know about me. I like things simple. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic000 Recently Glory negotiated a deal between us and a big time player. We're talking more caps than you'd probably see in a lifetime. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic000 Your part in this is simple. To finalize this deal, I need to tie up a loose end. To do that, there's a girl I need you to find. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic001 No, no, no. That's not how it works. You don't get to weigh the options. You're either in or you're out. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic002 Yeah, sure fucking thing. I'll be waiting with baited breath for your schedule to clear up, ha ha. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic004 I thought so. Come back when you've got a backbone. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic005 Her name's Rose of Sharon Cassidy. That's some fancy shit, right? {Beat, to himself}Don't know what her mother was thinking with a name like that. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic005 But this girl and I, we need to have a discussion. {Beat, cold}Find her, bring her here, so I can talk to her, one-on-one. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic006 Fuck, no. If I knew where this bitch was, do you think I'd be asking you? VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic006 Still, there's someone who might - old Alice McLafferty, Crimson Caravan, might know something. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic006 She keeps tabs on caravan traffic in the Mojave, wouldn't put it past her to keep track of Cassidy Caravans and its owner. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic009 Find her, bring her back here so we can talk. Needless to say, there's some good money in it for you. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic010 Then go bother someone else. I got shit to do. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic012 You already agreed to take the job, asshole. There's no backing out now. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic013
VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic014 Guess I don't have to worry about talking with her, then. About fucking time. Any longer and I was gonna track you both down. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic014 Anyway, Glory's been antsy lately because that big deal she's been working on is finally going down. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic014 If this thing goes down, we'll have it made. Fucking {stressed}made, I tell you! Talk to her about it. I'm sure she'll want you along. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic014 And don't think I forgot your pay. A job well done is its own reward, but it doesn't pay for pussy at the local brothel, does it? VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic015 Well work fucking faster. I don't like thinking there's someone out there that hates me more than I hate them. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic016 Yeah, you can blame Glory for that mess. She had some fun with the little prick and it ended badly. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic016 Now he goes around spreading lies about my sister, which pisses me off. One of these days I'm going to piss in his skull, you watch. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic017 Ha, he's a jet junkie? He'll go crazy when he finds it gone. I like it. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic017 I'll tell you what. When you hit the stash, leave him this note from me. If the punk really has it bad, he'll come running straight here. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic017 His gang won't be able to say shit if he comes storming this place himself. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic018 We could do that, but then we'd have to kill his four hundred friends too, and that'd just get tiring. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic018 Some day he'll make a mistake, though, and his friends won't be around to back him up, and then he'll be mine. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic019 Mama always said that was my gift. When we were kids, the others used to fight over and steal one another's toys. I always broke mine. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic019 And if any of the others messed with me, I broke theirs too. Sometimes I'd break them even if they were nice to me, just to show them what's what. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic019 One day mama took me aside and said, Boy VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic019 I'm not one for running a business. Never really had a head for numbers or smooth-talk. My talents are a little more... direct. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic020 Our family comes from Redding, to the west. We deal weapons mostly, but trade other commodities, like gold, if there's cash in it. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic020 Our mother's been running the show for longer than most of us have been alive, but she stays at the home office. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic020 We've got branches all over the place, which are run by my brothers and sisters. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic020 Momma's real popular with the menfolk, both for her money and her looks, which is why there's ten of us kids in total, all by different fathers. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic021 We're a wild bunch. There's my sister Frieda, who used to run this branch but took off to pursue the opportunity of a lifetime" VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic021 The rest are all long stories, and I don't got the time to tell them. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic022 Make it quick. I got shit to do. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic023 Glory? Glory's fucking {heavyily stressed}crazy. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic023 Some of my siblings are real pieces of work, but I'd bet on Glory if she were facing down a deathclaw with a plastic spoon. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic023 She's got the smarts to do whatever she wants, but she and momma are always butting heads, so she gets all the shit jobs. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic025 Unlike most of my brothers and sisters, Mama didn't get sick of my father and get rid of him. He died right before I was born. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic025 Mama had liked him so much, she made me use his last name. Said he deserved that much at least, since he never got to meet me or nothin'. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic026 That's just fucking great. I knew you didn't have what it takes from the start, but would Glory listen to me? No. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic026 Still, my sister has plans for you, so I'll cut you a break. You bring the girl here, and I'll take care of the fun part. That's fair, eh? VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic027 Yeah, if you brought her back here. Is she behind you or something? 'Cause I don't see her. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic027 Now stop stalling, get out there, and do your fucking job already. Sheesh. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic028 {Eager}Waited too long to finish this, last loose end, all wrapped up. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic030 {Scoffs}Really. We'll see about that. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic031 {Pauses, a little uneasy}You know what, I think you mean that. All right... maybe... VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic032 Dead? {Beat}What... by you? {Beat, admiring}Yeah, I can tell, you had something to do with it. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic032 {Nods, impressed}Gloria was right about you. You take care of business before it's a problem. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic033 {Chews it over}Really. NCR all around her. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic033 Well, tell you what. You find a {emph}way to bring her here. She'll want to hear what I have to say. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic034 {Slight mockery}What? You two on the outs? Ain't that a shame. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic034 Guess you misheard me - I wasn't asking you a question. Find a way to get her here. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic034 If you can't bring her here, then make sure she never leaves the Outpost, and that's {draws it out}fine with me. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic035 Fuck, no. If I knew where this bitch was, do you think I'd be asking you? VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic035 Still, there's someone who might - old Alice McLafferty, Crimson Caravan, might know something. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic035 She keeps tabs on caravan traffic in the Mojave, wouldn't put it past her to keep track of Cassidy Caravans and its owner. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic036 {Frowns}I had nothing to do with that, and neither did anyone here. Now where would you have gotten an idea like that? VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic037 I got business here, need to watch the shop, make sure things are running - smoothly. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic037 {Slight mockery}Besides, if I came for the girl, I'm not all friendly and charming like you are. She might get the wrong idea. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic038 {Cold, angry that player is challenging him}You don't want {emph}us chatting, trust me. {Smooths out}As for the girl - I just want to talk to her. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic038 And if you can't bring her here, you're no use to me - or Gloria. So if you want to cause trouble in here over nothing, then go on - try. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic039 {Irritated}If your answer isn't yes VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic042 So, looks like we have us a thief. All right, guess I'm talking to you instead of the girl. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic043 And after all the trouble I went through to kill all those witnesses. Guess now I have one more than I thought. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic044 Nowhere's" a strange place to get an idea like that." VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic044 You know what, you're new. Gloria's not going to miss you. And I'm not going to risk you saying the same thing to that bitch I'm hunting for. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic045 {Frowns}Guess Gloria was wrong about you, then. Get out of here, you're no use to me. VMS29aVFSJeanBaptisteCuttingTopic046 Good, getting tired of questions from you when I should be getting answers. Bring her here. VMS29aVFSPacerTopic000 That's a good dog. Well, I'm out of here. Later, Simon. VMS29aVFSPacerTopic001 I would, but I tend to distract the boss lady a little too much. She can't help herself. VMS29aVFSPacerTopic001 Anyway, I've got things to do. Later, Simon. VMS29aVFSPacerTopic002 Ouch, this one's got a bite, Simon! Call him off, or he'll get put down. VMS29aVFSPacerTopic002 Ouch, this one's got a bite, Simon! Call her off, or she'll get put down. VMS29aVFSPacerTopic004 Let's take this chump, guys! VMS29aVFSPacerTopic006 I'm sure it's the highlight of your day. Anyway, I've gotta bounce. Things to do, and all that. VMS29aVFSPacerTopic007 Who do you think you're talking to? Just because the King happens to like you, doesn't mean you can run your mouth any way you damn like. VMS29aVFSPacerTopic008 No, nothing wrong at all. By all means, carry on. VMS29aVFSPacerTopic009 You asked for it, punk! VMS29aVFSPacerTopic010 Yeah, that's what I thought. VMS29aVFSPacerTopic011 Yeah, right before I beat somebody down. Let's take this fool, boys. VMS29aVFSPacerTopic012 Ha, you've got yourself a live one here, Simon. Anyway, I've got things to do. Later. VMS29aVFSPacerTopic014 Spoken like a chump. A King doesn't have to grovel before others to get paid. Anyway, I've got better things to do than shoot the shit with you. VMS29aVFSSilverRushBomberCustomerTopic000 Thanks, I've come a long way. VMS29aVFSSilverRushBomberCustomerTopic001 That's not really necessary, is it? I already told you I got this here revolver, right? VMS29aVFSSilverRushBomberCustomerTopic002 What? VMS29aVFSSilverRushBomberCustomerTopic004 Damn, I knew this wasn't going to work! VMS29aVFSSilverRushBomberCustomerTopic005 You gonna ask me questions all day, or are you going to let me in? VMS29aVFSSilverRushDrunkTopic001 Great! I've been wanting to get a laser gun for a while now. VMS29aVFSSilverRushDrunkTopic003 Sounds like a stupid policy to me. VMS29aVFSSilverRushDrunkTopic005 Fine, I'm going, I'm going. And I'll take my business elsewhere! VMS29aVFSSilverRushDrunkTopic006 Think I'll do just that. VMS29aVFSSilverRushGamblerCustomerTopic000 Now hold on there, I'm not packing any heat. Ain't my word good enough for you? VMS29aVFSSilverRushGamblerCustomerTopic001 Thank you kindly. VMS29aVFSSilverRushGamblerCustomerTopic002 What? Why the hell not? VMS29aVFSSilverRushGamblerCustomerTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] I suppose it's all right, if there's no other choice. VMS29aVFSSilverRushGamblerCustomerTopic004 [FAILED] I just don't see why it's necessary. Now, are you going to let me in or not? VMS29aVFSSilverRushGamblerCustomerTopic005 If that's the case, then I guess I'll go spend my money elsewhere. VMS29aVFSSilverRushGamblerCustomerTopic006 I haven't had a drink all day! Screw this place, I'll go spend my money elsewhere! VMS29aVFSSilverRushGamblerCustomerTopic007 Hmph. That's better. VMS29aVFSSilverRushLegionContactTopic000 Do you have what we requested? VMS29aVFSSilverRushLegionContactTopic001 Don't play games with me. The question was just a formality. Now do you have what we requested? VMS29aVFSSilverRushLegionContactTopic002 I don't think so. My men watched you head straight for this location. Now do you have what we requested? VMS29aVFSSilverRushLegionContactTopic003 We were told there would be no questions. Do you have what we requested or not? VMS29aVFSSilverRushLegionContactTopic004 Ah, then our business is concluded. Tell your superiors that we will contact them shortly. VMS29aVFSSilverRushLegionContactTopic005 I wasn't informed there was to be an exchange on my part. What are you talking about? VMS29aVFSSilverRushLegionContactTopic006 [SUCCEEDED] Such a thing is possible. I've been out in the field for some time. Fine, this should cover your grievance. VMS29aVFSSilverRushLegionContactTopic006 Now, the package, if you will. VMS29aVFSSilverRushLegionContactTopic006 [FAILED] I've heard no such report. I'd have to check with my contacts before agreeing to such an exchange, and there's no time for that. VMS29aVFSSilverRushLegionContactTopic006 Now, the package, if you will. VMS29aVFSSilverRushLegionContactTopic007 Fine, now do you have the package or not? VMS29aVFSSilverRushLegionContactTopic008 That you would have something for me. Now do you or not? VMS29aVFSSilverRushNormalCustomerTopic000 Thanks a bunch. VMS29aVFSSilverRushNormalCustomerTopic001 Fine by me. VMS29aVFSSilverRushNormalCustomerTopic002 No... Should I be? VMS29aVFSSilverRushNormalCustomerTopic005 Because I'm not! Can't you just tell? Oh, forget it. I'll just head over to that pawn shop by the east gate. VMS29aVFSSimonTopic000 This should only take a moment. VMS29aVFSSimonTopic001 Then you're not going to shop here. VMS29aVFSVanGraffThug09Topic000 Well, no time for pleasantries. I've got your gear right here, but let's see if you can follow instructions. VMS29aVFSVanGraffThug09Topic000 You'll be covering the other side of the door there. Take your position while I get your stuff out. VMS29aVFSVanGraffThug09Topic001 You can always tell a rookie. You look too eager. Give the job a few hours, and the shine'll come right off. VMS29aVFSVanGraffThug09Topic002 I've been paired with worse, I guess. Anyway, let's see if you can follow instructions. VMS29aVFSVanGraffThug09Topic003 Good choice. I prefer laser-based weapons myself, but the boss lady said she wants at least one guard using a plasma rifle. VMS29aVFSVanGraffThug09Topic003 Says the lightning bits draw in more people. Whatever. VMS29aVFSVanGraffThug09Topic003 Now that you're equipped, a quick word on the job at hand. In a nutshell, we're here to keep the riff-raff away. VMS29aVFSVanGraffThug09Topic003 Drunks, punks, and capless vermin are to be turned away. Potential customers are to be permitted normal entrance. VMS29aVFSVanGraffThug09Topic003 That is, after we pat them down for weapons. An unarmed man is a lot less likely to try to steal something with several armed guards around. VMS29aVFSVanGraffThug09Topic003 Don't start any fights. I don't care if some Jet junkie just insulted your mother, we're here to promote violence elsewhere, not start it here. VMS29aVFSVanGraffThug09Topic003 Lastly, don't abandon your post. We're getting paid to stand next to this door, not talk to someone down the street or head to the casino. VMS29aVFSVanGraffThug09Topic003 That goes double for any thoughts of splitting with that gear. Every now and then some young punk thinks he can run off with Van Graff property. VMS29aVFSVanGraffThug09Topic003 Trust me, the rifle and armor are nice, but they're not worth your life. VMS29aVFSVanGraffThug09Topic003 Other than that, relax. There's usually some eye candy coming and going from the Wrangler over there at some point, so the view's not too bad. VMS29aVFSVanGraffThug09Topic003 Other than that, relax. Who knows, you might attract a high roller from the Wrangler over there and never have to pull a gig like this again! VMS29aVFSVanGraffThug09Topic004 Nothing wrong with going plasma. Just make sure you hit what you're aiming at. VMS29aVFSVanGraffThug09Topic005 Lasers have a high rate of fire, but not a lot of stopping power. Plasma on the other hand is slow as a mule, but with a kick to match. VMS29aVFSVanGraffThug09Topic005 So what'll it be? VMS29KingAndPacerArgue This is bullshit! Why are we even talking about dealing with these guys? VMS29KingAndPacerArgue Pace, this isn't really a good time to have this discussion... VMS29KingAndPacerArgue Wrong. This is exactly the right time. I'm about to prevent you from making a huge mistake. VMS29KingAndPacerArgue Pace, don't do this. I won't stand with you if you do. VMS29KingAndPacerArgue Then I'll stand on my own, just like I always have. Just like a King should. VMS29KingOfferStart Okay, I need some answers, now. These guys just barged in here and said they were under orders to keep me here until you arrived. VMS29KingOfferStart I'm about five seconds away from telling my men to take them down, so speak fast. VMS29KingUltimatumStart Maybe you can tell me what the hell is going on here. These stony face bastards haven't said a word other than to say they're here under orders. VMS29NCROfficerChastisesKing Guess he wants to do this the hard way, boys. Take him down. VMS29VFSTheKingTopic000 An ultimatum? Do you even know who you're talking to? We're the Kings, and no King will ever accept an ultimatum. VMS29VFSTheKingTopic000 Go back to your general or commodore or whatever-the-fuck and tell them to shove their ultimatum where the sun don't shine. VMS29VFSTheKingTopic001 You know, it's that or else" part that gets stuck in my craw. It just sounds a little too much like you're trying to tell us what to do." VMS29VFSTheKingTopic001 And nobody tells the Kings what to do. So why don't you and all of your little friends get the hell out of here. Or else. VMS29VFSTheKingTopic002 Well, Freeside citizens are also being attacked and I'd like you all to stop it, but I'm guessing that's not going to happen, is it? VMS29VFSTheKingTopic002 This little show of force accomplishes nothing. So take your toy soldiers and go home. Show's over. VMS29VFSTheKingTopic003 That sounds fair. And all I have to do is try to tone down the attacks on the Squatters, you say? VMS29VFSTheKingTopic004 And I suppose they want me to help see that happen? That seems pretty reasonable. VMS29VFSTheKingTopic005 Sounds like a challenge. Boys, let's do this! VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic000 So I did. As you may have noticed, our position here in New Vegas is tenuous. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic000 We've made great strides, sure, but the NCR is not welcomed here, merely tolerated. And even then, not by everyone. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic000 We've had reports of violence against NCR citizens in a neighborhood just to the northeast called Freeside. Ever been there? VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic000 Yes, have you reconsidered? NCR citizens may be dying as we speak in that hellhole. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic000 Oh, I've already heard. Pacer is dead. The Kings are up in arms. The entire area is gripped by chaos and the violence has only increased. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic000 In fact, I've heard that many are assuming the NCR did it without even looking into the matter. This is the worst thing that could possibly happen! VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic000 What do you have to say for yourself? VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic000 Oh, I've already heard. The Kings are up in arms. The entire area is gripped by chaos and the violence has only increased. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic000 In fact, I've heard that many are assuming the NCR did it without even looking into the matter. This is the worst thing that could possibly happen! VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic000 What do you have to say for yourself? VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic000 Yes, do you have something to report? VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic000 Yes, how did it go? VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic001 I'm inclined to agree, but it's a slum with NCR citizens in it, and as such it falls under my jurisdiction. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic002 Violence is something of a way of life there, but there's been a disturbing rise in the number of attacks on our people lately. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic002 More worrying is the fact that our sources suggest the violence is being perpetrated by the gang that runs the place, the Kings. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic002 I need someone to look into this that won't attract attention. Would you be interested? VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic003 It's a beastly place. Poverty is rampant, and all that goes with it - drugs, alcohol abuse, the usual. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic004 You'd remember this one. It's a pit where people are robbed, murdered, or simply go to die. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic005 Good. Our men have come up with two different plans for seeing an end to the violence. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic005 First, our sources have tracked most of the attacks back to a King named Pacer. The consensus is that the violence will stop if he's removed. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic005 The problem is that we can't simply kill him. In the current climate, the NCR would likely be blamed for his death. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic005 There is an alternative option, but my sources feel that getting rid of this Pacer fellow is our best shot. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic006 That's too bad. Come back if you change your mind. I'm sure you can see yourself out. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic007 Make it look like an accident, or pin the deed on someone else. Look into this guy's affairs, and I'm sure you'll find something you can use. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 Either kill Pacer in a way that doesn't lead back to us, or talk the King into quelling the violence. It's not really that hard to remember. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 In any case, I expect to hear good news about this in the future. Keep me informed of your progress. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic009 See, that's exactly the type of information we can use. In fact, that's perfect. Those fancy weapons the Van Graffs peddle aren't exactly common. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic009 It goes without saying that actually getting the Van Graffs to do the deed would be the ideal solution. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic009 However, if Pacer were killed with either a laser or plasma-based weapon, everyone would automatically assume the Van Graffs did it. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic009 Still, unless you want several dozen armed men at your throat, you'd have to kill him without being seen. Be careful. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic009 I'll leave the method up to you. However, there is an alternative if you'd rather try to handle things without bloodshed. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic010 That could be useful, but I'm afraid I don't have the background to know how to take advantage of that knowledge. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic011 [SUCCEEDED] Remind me never to get on your bad side. If that's true, then yes, that would be a suitable way to get rid of him. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic011 However, it would involve gaining access to his personal drug stash and tampering with it unseen, which might pose a challenge. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic011 [FAILED] I doubt it. I've seen junkies live for decades on the stuff. You'd be better off asking someone who knows about these things. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic012 {Wild Wasteland!}Damn it, I'm an ambassador, not a doctor. You'll have to find some other way. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic012 I'm afraid I can't be much help in this matter. My specialty is people and politics, not medicine. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic013 In that case, we can take a different tack, but one that I at least have more experience with - diplomacy. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic013 If we can't go after the man responsible, we'll simply appeal to the man above him. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic013 The Kings, including our friend Pacer, report to the leader of their gang, a man who calls himself the King. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic014 I'm sure something will turn up. If you think you've found something but are unsure, report back and I'll let you know if it's something we can use. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic014 It may be tough to find a way to completely throw off suspicion, however. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic015 I'm not a violent man myself, so I had our guys come up with an alternate solution on the off chance that our agent-to-be shared my sentiments. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic016 Reward? You want a reward for setting our diplomatic efforts back a year? VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic017 Oh, I see. You're proud of your efforts, eh? Bah! Thankfully, it looks like we won't be working together any longer. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic018 At least you've got the sense to know you've screwed up. I'll probably be cleaning toilets by the end of the week. But you'll be busy, too. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic019 If it will get you out of my hair, this is a small price to pay. At least I won't have to put up with you any longer. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic020 That's an understatement. Still, there's nothing to be done about it now. Maybe the violence may die down once things settle. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic020 Here, take this. It's not what I was planning to give you, but you deserve some sort of payment for your efforts. Oh, and one other thing. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic021 You better believe I'm mad. You've waged a one man campaign to drag our good name through the mud and I'll be held accountable! VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic021 You probably don't even know what I'm talking about. Gah! This is what I get for hiring an idiot to do such an important job. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic021 Here, just take this and go. I have damage control to do. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic021 Wait, I'm supposed to send you to Colonel Moore up at Hoover Dam, though why she wants to see an imbecile like you is beyond me. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic021 So go to Hoover Dam and see Colonel Moore. Got it? Hoover Dam. Colonel Moore. {Sighs}Maybe it's time to retire. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic022 See, that's exactly the type of information we can use. In fact, that's perfect. Those fancy weapons the Van Graffs peddle aren't exactly common. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic022 It goes without saying that actually getting the Van Graffs to do the deed would be the ideal solution. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic022 However, if Pacer were killed with either a laser or plasma-based weapon, everyone would automatically assume the Van Graffs did it. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic022 Still, unless you want several dozen armed men at your throat, you'd have to kill him without being seen. Be careful. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic022 I'll leave the method up to you. However, there is an alternative if you'd rather try to handle things without bloodshed. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic023 That could be useful, but I'm afraid I don't have the background to know how to take advantage of that knowledge. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic023 As I told you before, that could be useful information, but I don't know how to take advantage of it. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic024 Killing two birds with one stone. Excellent. You've done a great service for the NCR. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic024 Now, you're probably wondering about your reward. This has been something of a hot button topic, so I was able to secure this for you. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic025 [SUCCEEDED] Well, I don't officially have access to any more funds, but here. This is from me personally. There's more coming your way, too. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic025 [FAILED] I'm sorry, but those are the only funds I was able to allocate. You'll have to make due with it. Besides, you may have other tasks soon. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic026 Good show. With the conditions there, no one will suspect anything other than bad drugs to be the culprit. You've done a great service for the NCR. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic026 Now, you're probably wondering about your reward. This has been something of a hot button topic, so I was able to secure this for you. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic027 How unexpected! I was sure a direct confrontation would lead to more fighting, but I'm delighted to be proven wrong. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic027 I wouldn't be surprised if you had something to do with the situation not flaring up, either. Here, I'm sure you deserve every one of these caps. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic027 Also, Colonel Moore has requested your presence at Hoover Dam again. No doubt she has further work for an individual with your skillset. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic027 I'm afraid I don't have any further assignments that would suit you, so you should probably go see her at your earliest convenience. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic028 I've received a message from Colonel Moore up at Hoover Dam. She's been following your exploits and has requested that you meet with her. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic028 You're not officially in the employ of the NCR, so there's nothing forcing you to go, but I'd go see her sooner rather than later. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic028 The Colonel is not someone you want to keep waiting. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic029 I would, but I'm afraid the rest of the work in my queue pertains to matters I'll have to deal with personally. You do have another option, however. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic030 That's great to hear. He's got a lot of sway in Freeside, so we can expect a dramatic drop in violence soon. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic030 Now, you're probably wondering about your reward. This has been something of a hot button topic, so I was able to secure this for you. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic031 That's most unfortunate. In this circumstance I've been instructed to send you along to Colonel Moore over at Hoover Dam for further orders. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic031 The Colonel will likely send you back to Freeside with a squad of armed men, for all the good that will do. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic032 I understand. Sometimes these things take time. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic032 Remember, do what you can to gain the man's trust. Then you'll have your chance. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic033 It's a beastly place. Poverty is rampant, and all that goes with it - drugs, alcohol abuse, the usual. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic034 Violence is something of a way of life there, but there's been a disturbing rise in the number of attacks on our people lately. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic034 More worrying is the fact that our sources suggest the violence is being perpetrated by the gang that runs the place, the Kings. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic034 I need someone to look into this that won't attract attention. Would you be interested? VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic035 Oh, I like the Colonel just fine. She's a good soldier, one of the best. I just don't think her general approach to things is a good fit here. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic035 See, the Colonel likes to solve things neatly, quickly, and efficiently, through a show of force if possible, and through actual force if necessary. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic035 That won't work here. Unless she plans on killing half the population of Freeside, sending soldiers to the area will only make things worse. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic036 More like instigate a mass riot. People there already think the NCR is trying to take this place over. We'd only be confirming their fears. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic037 I completely agree. Even if a riot didn't immediately break out, a line will have been crossed, and we'll have made that many more enemies. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic038 I'd suggest you speak to Colonel Hsu over at Camp McCarran. He's much more level-headed about this sort of thing. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic038 He's also in a better position to bargain with the people of Freeside, seeing as how he's in charge of water and power distribution in the area. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic038 Still, I'm only mentioning it as an option. My official orders are to direct you to Colonel Moore. Godspeed. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic039 Wait a moment, if you would. While sending you to Colonel Moore is what I'm officially supposed to do, I'd like to propose an alternative. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic040 Is it that obvious? You must understand that while Colonel Moore's job is to get things done, my job is to represent the NCR's best interests. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic041 I was afraid this would happen. Freeside will be a little more dangerous for a while, but eventually things will die down. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic041 I expect few people will purposely target NCR citizens for some time to come, which is a relief. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic041 However, the NCR's reputation has taken a huge blow because of this. People are beginning to see not much difference between us and the Legion. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic041 I've been authorized to give you this for your efforts. It's not much, but most of the funds for this operation are now going toward damage control. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic042 Good, good. Hsu's a man you can count on to handle a crisis. I'm just glad that things didn't end in violence. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic042 Here, this is what remains of the funds initially allocated for this operation. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic042 Also, I've been directed to send you on to Colonel Moore at Hoover Dam. She's been following my reports on your exploits with some interest. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic042 As I don't have any further assignments for you, I'd recommend going to see her if you need more work. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic043 That's terrible. I suppose the violence against our people will stop, though. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic043 I'll have to spend much of the remaining funds for the operation on damage control, but I can spare this much as compensation for your efforts. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic044 If that's what you prefer, I won't stop you. Just remember to try to find a way to do it that doesn't lead back to the NCR. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic044 If it just doesn't look possible to make the kill without drawing attention, don't forget there's always the diplomatic approach. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic045 [SUCCEEDED] Remind me never to get on your bad side. If that's true, then yes, that would be a suitable way to get rid of him. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic045 It looks like you have things well in hand, so I'll leave you to it. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic045 [FAILED] I doubt it. I've seen junkies live for decades on the stuff. You'd be better off asking someone who knows about these things. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic046 {Wild Wasteland!}Damn it, I'm an ambassador, not a doctor. You'll have to find some other way. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic046 I'm afraid I can't be much help in this matter. My specialty is people and politics, not medicine. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic047 No doubt Colonel Moore's approach will produce results. Just be ready to duck when the bullets start flying. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic048 He's caucasian, in his mid-30s, and extremely charismatic. It's that last part that we're counting on. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic048 The Kings are a bunch of young hoodlums who aren't inclined to listen to anyone, except him. Get him on our side, and the rest will fall in line. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic049 Go and talk to the King, try to convince him to put an end to this violence. Pacer's a punk, but he won't likely disobey a direct order. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic049 The King might not be open to the idea at first, so you may have to ingratiate yourself with him. Do whatever it takes. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic049 When it's done, one way or the other, report back here and we'll take it from there. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic050 I wish you luck. If you run into some difficulty and think you'd rather just take the shot with Pacer, that's fine too. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic051 I trust that Hsu will deal with the matter thoughtfully. Regardless, stay on your toes. There's no telling what will happen. VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic052 Well then don't waste any more time here. Get going! VMS30RichardsPatientHarmedTopic Hey! Be careful, I don't like people hurting my patients. VMS30RichardsPatientHarmedTopic Enough! You were supposed to be helping them. It's best if you just leave now. VMS30RichardsPatientKilledTopic You killed him! What kind of Doctor are you? Get out of here now! VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic000 With business booming like it is and considering I'm the only person with medical experience in the camp, I could perhaps use a hand. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic000 Do you have any medical experience? VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic001 I heard Private Stone turned himself in for stealing my medical supplies. You have my thanks. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic001 Are you willing to look into this for me? VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic001 So you've found out what's happening with the supplies? VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic001 What would you like to know? VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic002 I don't have that many supplies left, so I can't offer my services freely, but I can help you. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic002 Well, go somewhere else. You're not welcome here. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic003 Excellent job. Where did you learn how to do all that? I don't think that I could have done much better myself. Very impressive. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic003 As for the men, they'll recover soon and be back on the front lines in no time. Ahh... the circle of life. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic003 I'll send word to Major Polatli about your work here. Once again, you have my sincerest thanks. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic003 Not too bad, at least you didn't kill anyone. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic003 They'll recover soon and be back on the front lines in no time. Ahh... the circle of life. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic003 I'll send word to Major Polatli about your work here. Thanks. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] Excellent. As you can see, we have a lot of injured troopers here and I haven't had time to look at all of them yet. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic004 Since you have some medical experience I'd like you to examine them and see what you can do to treat them. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic005 Excellent. As you can see, we have a lot of injured troopers here and I haven't had time to look at all of them yet. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic005 Since you have some medical experience, I'd like you to examine them and see what you can do to treat them. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic006 Without any medical experience, you're not going to be much use to me in here. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic006 However, you can take this status report back to Major Polatli. It's a very important task and I think I can count on you. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic007 You look fine to me. Well, as fine as anyone else around here. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic007 I've seen worse, but I should be able to fix you up pretty easily. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic007 Yeah, that looks pretty nasty. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic007 This might take a miracle, and a lot of money. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic008 Is that so! I'll have to talk to Major Polatli about this right away. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic008 I appreciate you doing this for me. Here's a little something for your trouble, it's not much, but it's all I can spare. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic009 Let me know when you do find something out. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic010 That's too bad. These men really needed those supplies. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic010 Thanks for looking into this, I appreciate it even though you didn't find anything. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic011 That's too bad, but at least you didn't start hacking and slashing with a knife. I don't think Major Polatli could handle two doctors like that. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic011 I'll send word to Major Polatli. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic015 Thanks for your help. I'll take it from here. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic015 I'll send Major Polatli word about the situation here. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic015 You weren't much help, but thanks anyway... I guess. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic015 I'll send Major Polatli word about the situation here. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic016 [FAILED] Ahh... I see. Unfortunately you're experience with medicology" isn't going to be any use to me here." VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic016 Just take this status report back to Major Polatli. That's all I need from you. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic017 With the Legion defeated, things are great now. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic017 Things are better now that the Legion at Nelson have been defeated. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic017 We're doing okay for the time being. Not as many serious injuries lately. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic017 If I was a mortician, business would be booming. As a Doctor, business is hard. Too many injuries that I can't do anything about. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic017 The Legion has been hitting us pretty hard lately. Lots of casualties, not many people I can save. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic018 What would you like to know? VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic019 Men have waged war on each other for countless centuries. Now is no different. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic019 People fight and die for what they believe in. I'm just here to patch them up so they can go on their merry way. Do no harm and all that. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic020 Someone with medical experience, I take it? It's not the best, but it does the job. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic020 I just wish I had the equipment and supplies to handle the number of injuries we have here. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic020 To make things worse, I think someone might be stealing my supplies. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic021 I'm doing the best I can considering the poor situation I find myself in. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic021 There's barely enough equipment or medicine to handle the number of injuries we have. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic021 To make things worse, I think someone might be stealing my supplies. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic022 Sometimes it does feel that way. I feel more like a mortician than a doctor. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic022 Often I just don't have the resources to handle the number of injuries here. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic022 To make things worse, I think someone might be stealing my supplies. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic023 The simple fact that I no longer have as many supplies as I should. I've been careful with them and I should have more than what remains. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic023 Unfortunately, I don't have the time to go searching for the missing supplies since I have my hands full with injured soldiers. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic024 Anything is possible, but that's unlikely. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic024 Unfortunately, I don't have the time to go searching for the missing supplies since I have my hands full with injured troopers. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic025 I may have my hands full here, but I'm anything but careless. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic025 Unfortunately, I don't have the time to go searching for the missing supplies since I have my hands full with injured troopers. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic026 That's an odd response if I've ever heard one. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic026 Unfortunately, I don't have the time to go searching for the missing supplies since I have my hands full with injured troopers. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic027 That would definitely be appreciated. You might want to ask around and keep an eye out for anything suspicious. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic028 I store a variety of drugs here, but it looks like my supply of Hydra is diminishing rather quickly. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic029 Locked in a cabinet, here in the medical tent. I'm around most of the time, but I can't keep a constant watch on them. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic030 I remember coming in one morning and noticing that my supplies were lower than they should have been. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic030 I thought it might have been a mistake, but another morning I noticed the same thing. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic030 The camp is pretty dead at night, especially at 0200 hours when the guard shift changes. That'd be a good place to start looking. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic031 Perhaps you can come back and help me when you have more time. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic032 Okay then, what would you like to talk about? VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic033 You and me both, but let's worry about you first. I can fix you up, if you know what I mean. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic034 Sure can. The sooner the better if you ask me, unless you want a third arm. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic035 Sorry. I'm low on supplies as it is and I don't have any to spare. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic036 Okay, now this might hurt a bit... VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic036 Well, let me know if you get some money before that third arm comes in. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic037 Your loss, not mine. Let me know if your hair starts falling out. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic038 Thanks, I'll fix you up right away. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic038 If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. Think about that next time you get high. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic039 Good luck to you then, junkie. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic040 Excellent, just let me grab my scalpel and a body bag, and we'll get started. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic040 Well, you'll probably be fine. For a little while, anyway. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic041 Okay then. Just try not to bleed all over the place, okay? VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic042 Okay then. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic043 I used to be a doctor back in California, but a few years back I got suckered into doing military work because it was my patriotic duty."" VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic043 Back then, I, like many idealistic men before me, thought it was a great idea and was excited about making the world a better place with the NCR. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic043 Now... I just want to get back home. I've had enough fighting and fixing up soldiers just to send them right back out to die to last a lifetime. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic044 [SUCCEEDED] Excessive use causes dilated eyes, an increased heart rate and blood pressure, massive sweating, you know... the usual. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic045 [FAILED] Good god, no. Look, don't worry about symptoms, just ask around and see if anyone has noticed anything suspicious. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic046 Quite a bit actually. I was stationed nearby during the first battle of Hoover Dam four years ago. I saw a lot of what happened firsthand. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic047 My take? I try not to think about it, I got enough on my hands here. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic048 The Legion attacked in full force. Chief Hanlon had the troopers fall back pulling the enemy in, before entrenching into secure positions. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic048 The Legion got bogged down and Rangers and 1st Recon sharpshooters started taking out the Legion officers. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic048 They sent their best men to stop the Rangers and 1st Recon, but the Rangers pulled them into a trap at Boulder City and blew them all to hell. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic048 After that the Legion's forces were in disarray and tried to retreat. However, our forces advanced rapidly and routed them. And that was that. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic049 You have no idea. It was a fierce battle. Lots of people died. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic049 Anyone with medical training had their hands full for weeks after the battle was finally over. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic049 During that time I saw quite a few things I wouldn't mind forgetting about. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic050 Okay, what's on your mind? VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic051 Alright. What do you want to know? VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic052 This is definitely part of my missing supplies. I'll talk to Major Polatli about this right away. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic053 Excellent, just let me grab my scalpel, and a body bag and we'll get started. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic053 Well, you'll probably be fine. For a little while, anyway. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic054 My pleasure. Thanks again. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic055 Excellent, just let me grab my scalpel, and a body bag and we'll get started. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic055 Well, you'll probably be fine. For a little while, anyway. VMS30VCFHAlexRichardsTopic056 Ahh, doing this out of the goodness of your heart. You don't see that very often around here. Thank you. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic000 So the Major has you running errands for him. Well, we're short on personnel as well as supplies so we'll take all the help we can get. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic001 Not good. If we don't get more supplies, we're going to have to start using dirt for food and sticks and rocks for weapons. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic001 Hey, how'd you like to do something for me? VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic001 Better now that all those Legion troops in Nelson are dead. The NCR might actually have a chance of kicking their asses after all. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic001 Things are still pretty damn rough, but we're keeping it together. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic002 Thanks. Watch your back out there. Never know when those Legion bastards might show up. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic003 Maybe, but the situation around here calls for it. You gonna help or not? VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic004 I take it my men were dead. It's a high price to pay, but these supplies will save a few lives here. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic004 Thanks for finding these. You should check in with the Major, he'll want to know about this. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic005 Damn it all... I sent some men out to get these supplies, but they never returned. I guess the Legion got them on their way back. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic005 At least we have the supplies. It's not much, but every little bit counts. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic005 Thanks for finding these. You should check in with the Major, he'll want to know about this. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic006 Me? I've been doing this shit for far too long and have been in too many battles to remember. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic006 Still... this has got to be one of the worst situations I've been in. Not too much I can do about it but do my job and do it right. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic007 Have you changed your mind? Are you willing to help me out with something real simple? VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic008 I want you to collect NCR dogtags from our fallen troopers. That way I can keep track of who's gone and how to reallocate our supplies. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic010 Suit yourself. Let me know if you change your mind. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic011 Hey, you've been a big help. I wanted to give you something for helping me out. It's not much, but here you go. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic011 Good work. If you find any more, you know where to find me. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic012 It's easy. Just bring back any NCR dogtags you find and I'll try to make it worth your while. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic013 What do you want to know? VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic014 Bad? I've been doing this a long time and I haven't been in many places that were worse than this. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic014 We've been out here on the front lines for a long time without any reinforcements or resupplies. That's what I need your help for. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic014 I sent some troops out to find more supplies, but they never returned. I need you to track them down and help them bring back the supplies. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic015 Is that a joke? Have you looked around? Massive casualties, constant raids, barely any food or equipment... does that sound alright to you? VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic015 Shit, we haven't had a proper resupply since god knows when. Last time I sent troops out to find supplies, they never returned. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic015 The Major sent you because we don't have any men to spare. So why don't you make yourself useful and find those troops and supplies for me. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic016 The Major let me send out some troops to gather supplies, but unfortunately they never returned. I'm guessing they ran into some trouble on the way. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic016 You can help by finding the troops and assisting them in bringing back any supplies they found. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic017 I sent them to HELIOS One to see if they had any supplies they could spare. They've got to be somewhere between here and there. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic017 I'd try searching the main road, or checking with the men at HELIOS One to see if they know anything. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic018 It's dangerous, but not as bad now that we've taken back Nelson from the Legion. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic018 Of course it's dangerous! Damn Legion raiding parties have been giving us hell ever since they took over Nelson. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic018 Hell, my men probably got ambushed by a raiding party! But we need those supplies, and we need them badly. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic019 Make it quick, I don't have time to stand around talking all day long. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic020 We really need those supplies, so don't take your sweet time finding them. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic021 No, can't say I do. I've got my own problems to worry about. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic023 I don't have any supplies to spare, but I've got caps if you have anything you don't need. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic023 I don't have any supplies to spare for someone with your spotted reputation, but buy your stuff for half the going rate. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic024 You're welcome. Enjoy. VMS30VCFHCarlMayesTopic025 I'm not going to argue with you there. Thanks, I appreciate this. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic000 I'm short staffed and I don't have the time to take care of some issues around the camp. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic000 I need someone to talk to a few of the officers and help them resolve some of the problems around here. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic000 I've got the Legion at Nelson breathing down my neck and not enough men or supplies to get this camp into fighting shape so we can strike back. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic000 I need someone to talk to a few of the officers and help them resolve some of the problems around here. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic000 If I can get this place in order, then I can focus our efforts on taking back Nelson from the Legion. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic000 And the more that gets done around here, the more resources I'll be able to put into assaulting Nelson. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic001 Good, let's not waste time then. Our biggest problems right now are supplies and troops, and the Legion is draining us of both. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic001 Quartermaster Mayes has been complaining to me nonstop about the lack of supplies, but unfortunately we aren't getting a resupply any time soon. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic001 I want you speak with him and see if there's anything you can do for him. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic002 I'll be here if you change your mind. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic003 You're welcome. Enjoy. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic004 Not really, but we don't have much choice. If you help out more around the camp I could spare some additional men for the battle. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic004 We have a decent amount of men, but it'll be a close battle. If you help out more around the camp, I could probably spare some additional troops. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic004 We've been reinforced fairly well, thanks to your help. I'd say the odds are in our favor. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic004 However, if you help out a little more around the camp, we'd be in a good enough position to send our best men to help retake Nelson. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic004 Thanks to your help, we have more than enough men to take those Legion bastards. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic005 Well, with that over with and the Legion forces at Nelson defeated, we finally have some breathing room. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic005 Now we can actually try to strengthen our forces along the river and prepare for the upcoming battle at Hoover Dam. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic005 With the help you've given us, we're doing a little bit better, but we still have the Legion forces at Nelson to deal with. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic005 If we can retake Nelson, that will be a huge help to our efforts in this area and give us an advantage at Hoover Dam. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic006 The Legion forces have been reinforced and are looking pretty strong. It's going to be a tough fight. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic006 The Legion forces are hurting pretty bad, actually. This is the perfect opportunity for us. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic006 Reports have the Legion forces at Nelson sizable, but not insurmountable. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic007 I can spare a few moments, make it quick. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic008 That's very gracious of you. Again, you have my thanks. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic010 I heard. The extra supplies will help for a short time, but that only solves one of our problems. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic010 With all the Legion raids lately, we're running low on troops that can still fight. Some are injured, but even more are dead. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic010 I want you to check in with Dr. Richards and see if he needs any help getting our troops back on the front line. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic011 I heard from Dr. Richards. Too bad you weren't able to help him with anything, but we all can't be doctors. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic011 I heard from Dr. Richards and I wouldn't call what you did helping. We need all the men we can get on the frontline. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic011 I heard from Dr. Richards. I'm glad you were at least some use to him. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic011 Dr. Richards said you did a good job in there. That's mighty high praise coming from him. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic012 Excellent. Killing the Legion commanders in Nelson will severely cripple the Legion forces and allow us to take back the city. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic012 Meet up with Sergeant Cooper just outside Nelson. He will assist you in reclaiming Nelson. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic013 Come back when you're ready. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic014 Things are looking good. With the new resources and support, morale is at the highest it's ever been around here. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic014 Well, things have been improving lately. More supplies, more troops. We might actually be able to turn things around. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic014 We're hanging in there. Things wouldn't be so bad if we could actually get some reinforcements or supplies, but we'll just have to survive for now. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic014 Not good. We still haven't gotten any support from the rest of the NCR and the Legion is kicking our ass right now. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic015 It's no picnic, I'll tell you that much. My troops are out here every day dying for the NCR, but they've left us out to dry. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic015 We have no men or supplies and we're stretched too thin trying to guard the entire river. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic015 If the brass back home could get their heads out of their asses long enough to send support, we could turn this all around. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic016 Are you ready? VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic016 The initial reports have come back already. Excellent work. This will buy us a lot of breathing room to get back on our feet here. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic016 Now we can actually try to strengthen our forces along the river and prepare for the upcoming battle at Hoover Dam. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic016 You have my thanks, we owe you a lot. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic016 I'd like to give you something to thank you for helping us. VMS30VCFHMajorPolatliTopic017 Make it quick. VMS30VCFHSergeantCooperTopic000 We don't have many troops, so we can only attack from one direction. Where should we focus the attack? VMS30VCFHSergeantCooperTopic001 Make it quick, we don't want to lose the element of surprise. VMS30VCFHSergeantCooperTopic002 North it is. Reports also say that they might have some NCR hostages. If that's true we need to do what we can to save them. So stay sharp. VMS30VCFHSergeantCooperTopic002 Our main target is the Legion leader at Nelson. Intel has the commander as one Dead Sea. I've uploaded his last known location to your Pip-Boy. VMS30VCFHSergeantCooperTopic002 Let's move out! VMS30VCFHSergeantCooperTopic002 Our main targets are the Legion leaders at Nelson. I've uploaded their last known locations to your Pip-Boy. VMS30VCFHSergeantCooperTopic003 East it is. Reports also say that they might have some NCR hostages. If that's true we need to do what we can to save them. So stay sharp. VMS30VCFHSergeantCooperTopic003 Our main target is the Legion leader at Nelson. Intel has the commander as one Dead Sea. I've uploaded his last known location to your Pip-Boy. VMS30VCFHSergeantCooperTopic003 Let's move out! VMS30VCFHSergeantCooperTopic003 Our main targets are the Legion leaders at Nelson. I've uploaded their last known locations to your Pip-Boy. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic000 Missing medical supplies? No, uhh... I don't know anything about that. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic001 My problem? My problem is we're all going to die. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic001 The Legion may be gone from Nelson, but there's still a whole fucking army of them out there. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic001 Today... tomorrow... it doesn't matter, we're all going to die in this war. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic001 So why don't you just leave me alone. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic001 My problem? My problem is we're all going to die. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic001 We're out of food, we're out of men, and we're out of time. The Legion is right outside waiting to kill us all. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic001 Today... tomorrow... it doesn't matter, we're all going to die here. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic001 So why don't you just leave me alone. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic002 You kidding me, man? How are things? They're all fucked up, that's how things are! VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic002 Everyone is either starving or dying out here. Left out to dry by the rest of the NCR. Fuck this place. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic002 I'd rather be anywhere else but here. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic003 Here you go. Thanks, I owe you big time. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic004 Fine. Be like that. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic005 [SUCCEEDED] What?! Oh shit... how the fuck?! Oh man, I'm in some deep shit now. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic005 Look, I can explain everything! Really, just give me a chance to explain! VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic006 [FAILED] No, no that's not necessary. I'm fine. Just a little stressed out, that's all. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic007 Holy shit! How the hell did you find that? VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic007 Look, I can explain everything! Really, just give me a chance to explain! VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic009 I do what now? Uhh... I mean, yeah, I sometimes need to... stretch my legs. Helps me... uh... think. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic010 [SUCCEEDED] Well... sometimes I sneak into the medical tent at night and borrow" some of the medical supplies." VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic010 But it's not what you think. I can explain everything. Just hear me out. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic011 Uh... look, it's not what you think. I can explain everything, if you'll just hear me out. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic012 Uh... yeah, sure, no problem. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic013 Have you looked around? Have you seen what's going on here? What we're going through? VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic013 This place is hell. I've seen my all my friends butchered by the Legion in front of my very eyes. I can still hear their screams at night. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic013 All I wanted was a little escape, so I took some drugs to help me do that. Is that so bad? VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic014 Hey look, I just wanted to forget about all this stuff happening around here for a little while, that's all! VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic014 What happens now? VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic015 But it sure as hell is going to make me feel better for a little while, and that's all I wanted. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic015 So what happens now? VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic016 I... uh... I never... I never thought about that. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic016 But look, I needed this. I needed to escape for just a little while. I needed this... VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic016 So what happens now? VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic017 Yeah, see... I just needed to escape for a little while. To not think about all this stuff going on here. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic017 So what happens now? VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic018 I knew you wouldn't understand! You haven't been here! You haven't been through all the horrors that we go through every day! VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic018 So what are you going to do about it? VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic019 Haven't you heard anything I've said?! Don't you understand?! VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic019 Hey, maybe I can change your mind. I still have some drugs left over. They're all yours if you let me go. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic020 What? You want me to turn myself in? VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic020 Why the hell should I do that? VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic021 Alright. Here, I'll give you some of what I stole, just don't mention this to anyone. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic022 What? Hey sure! You got a deal. Thanks, I owe you big time. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic023 [FAILED] No. That's not going to happen. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic024 [FAILED] Nothing's going on, so just mind your own business. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic025 Yeah, nothing strange about a late night stroll. Everybody does it. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic026 I don't care what you believe. Now unless there's something else, why don't you just buzz off. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic027 [SUCCEEDED] I... I guess you're right. I'll do the right thing and turn myself in. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic029 {Nervous}Uh... I was just... uh... getting some fresh air and stretching my legs. It's getting pretty late though, I should get going. Goodnight. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic030 Yeah, yeah... me too. It's getting a bit late though, I should get going. Goodnight. VMS31VCFHPrivateStoneTopic031 {Nervous}I'm not sneaking! I'm uh... just stretching my legs. I should be getting back though, it's late. Goodnight. VMS33VMS33OmertaThug01Topic000 You have no idea who you're messing with! VMS33VMS33OmertaThug01Topic001 [SUCCEEDED] Shit. Look, we're just following orders. We, uh, need to take this up with the boss. VMS33VMS33OmertaThug01Topic001 [FAILED] Fuck the Legion. The NCR's got troops between us and them. VMS33VMS33OmertaThug01Topic002 Omerta business. Now fuck off, or else. VMS33VMS33OmertaThug01Topic003 Deal. VMS33VMS33OmertaThug01Topic004 Wha-? Oh, shit. I heard of you. Look, we didn't mean nothing by this. Just following orders. You want us gone, we're gone - no problem. VMS36VBSCaptainGillesTopic000 {Frustrated}I don't know. The NCR's stretched thin as it is. I've put in requests at Camp Golf, Forlorn Hope, McCarran - but things are no better there. VMS36VBSCaptainGillesTopic000 Maybe if their situations improved, they'd have men to spare. Or maybe they'd listen to someone with a reputation for helping the NCR. VMS36VBSCaptainGillesTopic001 {Frustrated}Food, blankets, clothes, tools. The army used to ship out caches of supplies regularly, but with the Legion so active we haven't gotten any in months. VMS36VBSCaptainGillesTopic002 You'll want to talk to Lieutenant Markland about that, he's our medical officer. He should be down at the medical tent now. VMS36VBSCaptainGillesTopic003 {Worried, a little afraid}It started about six months ago. At first it was just supplies going missing - we figured it was refugees. Then people started dying. VMS36VBSCaptainGillesTopic003 Always a single bullet to the head, always from extreme range. We've lost eight refugees and three soldiers to this son of a bitch. VMS36VBSCaptainGillesTopic003 We know he must be hiding out in one of the caves up in the mountains, but I don't have enough men to send out looking for him! VMS36VBSCaptainGillesTopic004 {Stressed}Okay, but make it quick - I'm very busy here. VMS36VBSCaptainGillesTopic005 This whole area used to be a Great Khan encampment before they relocated to Red Rock Canyon. We just haven't had the manpower to clean it all up yet. VMS36VBSCaptainGillesTopic006 {Sarcastic}Thanks. Your concern is touching. VMS36VBSCaptainGillesTopic007 {Grateful}That's very generous of you. I appreciate it. VMS36VBSCaptainGillesTopic008 {Pleased}Here, take this. I hope you put it to good use. VMS36VBSCaptainGillesTopic009 {Cold}If a reward is all you're concerned with, here. {Bitter}Enjoy it. VMS36VBSCaptainGillesTopic010 {Stressed}Sure, but make them quick. VMS36VBSCaptainGillesTopic011 Sure, just make them quick. VMS36VBSLieutenantMarklandTopic000 {Frustrated, a little sad}I'm an Army field medic. I can treat bullet wounds, shrapnel, trenchfoot, no problem. VMS36VBSLieutenantMarklandTopic000 But this - the kids and the psychological trauma and all the rest - is out of my league. VMS36VBSLieutenantMarklandTopic001 {Grateful}Thank you. Any help you can give would be a godsend. VMS36VBSLieutenantMarklandTopic002 {Excited}Yeah? Hey, sure, that would be fantastic! VMS36VBSLieutenantMarklandTopic003 {Thoughtful}Caravan companies are probably your best bet. Smaller traders aren't likely to have anything that esoteric. VMS36VBSLieutenantMarklandTopic004 Thanks. Anything else? VMS37VBSCaptainGillesTopic000 {Suddenly reserved}Ah. I should have expected as much. There's still a lot of bad blood between the Khans and the NCR, ever since the incident here. VMS37VBSCaptainGillesTopic000 {Evasive}Really? Well, this canyon used to be a Great Khan stronghold, I suppose that explains why he was able to evade us so easily. VMS37VBSCaptainGillesTopic001 {Pointed emphasis}The incident, yes. It was a tragic mistake, but the NCR has done everything it can to make amends since then. VMS37VBSCaptainGillesTopic002 {Reluctant}About three years ago, this canyon was the main encampment for the Great Khans. NCR's 1st Recon tracked them here after a raid and made an attack. VMS37VBSCaptainGillesTopic002 There was a communication mix-up that resulted in some noncombatants being killed. It was a tragic mistake, but we've done all we can to make amends. VMS37VBSCaptainGillesTopic003 We provided medical aid to the wounded - {emphasis}all the wounded - and permitted the Khans to resettle at Red Rock Canyon. VMS37VBSCaptainGillesTopic004 {Grateful}I don't know how you did it, but thank you. VMS37VBSCaptainGillesTopic004 {Grateful, a little sad}I'm glad it's taken care of, but still, I wish it could have been resolved without violence. There's too much bad blood there already. VMS37VBSCaptainGillesTopic005 {Relieved}Sure. What do you need? VMS37VBSCaptainGillesTopic006 {Reluctant}About three years ago, NCR's 1st Recon launched an attack on the Khan encampment here. VMS37VBSCaptainGillesTopic006 There was a communication mix-up that resulted in some noncombatants being killed. I guess he was still bitter about it. VMS37VBSCaptainGillesTopic006 It was a tragic mistake, but we've done all we can to make amends. VMS37VBSOscarVelascoTopic000 {Righteous anger}For revenge! The NCR committed an atrocity here, an atrocity that they tried to bury and forget. I'm going to remind them. VMS37VBSOscarVelascoTopic001 [SUCCEEDED] {Bitter}I know that. But what else can I do? VMS37VBSOscarVelascoTopic001 [FAILED] {Bitter}Keep deluding yourself if you want. I've seen the NCR's true face. VMS37VBSOscarVelascoTopic002 {Sad, thoughtful}Maybe... maybe you're right. Maybe three years is vengeance enough. Thank you for helping me see that. VMS37VBSOscarVelascoTopic002 Here. This will unlock the supply caches we left in caves around these mountains. You might get some use out of them. VMS37VBSOscarVelascoTopic003 {Proud anger}You're right. A Khan's vengeance should be direct and bloody. No more skulking in caves - I'll remind the NCR why they feared us! VMS37VBSOscarVelascoTopic004 {Resigned}Then you'll have to kill me. My vengeance will not be stayed. VMS37VBSOscarVelascoTopic005 {Suspicious}Why should I let you leave? You could lead the NCR right to me. I should kill you now. VMS37VBSOscarVelascoTopic007 {Accepting}As you wish. VMS37VBSOscarVelascoTopic008 [SUCCEEDED] {Accepting}As you wish. VMS37VBSOscarVelascoTopic008 [FAILED] {Suspicious}I don't think so. If you work for the NCR, you're no better than they are. {Intense, almost a prayer}Flails of God! VMS37VBSOscarVelascoTopic009 [SUCCEEDED] {Suspicious}As you wish. VMS38VMS38Guard01Topic001 {Dumfounded, Overflowing Anger}I can't believe this shit. Time to die, punk! VMS38VMS38Guard02Topic001 {Surprised, Proving a Point}What did I tell you about breaking the rules? You're gonna learn the hard way, now. VMS38VMS38Guard03Topic001 {Deeply Offended}You dared go against The Thorn, and now you'll pay for that! VMS38VMS38Guard04Topic001 {Surprised, still with a joking tone but about to start combat}You've just fucked up, big time! VMS38VMS38RedLucyAttacks {About to attack player}You've broken the rules of The Thorn, you've dishonored this sacred ground! I don't tolerate such offenses. VMS38VMS38RedLucyAttacks2 {About to attack player}I admire your bravery, but coming down here after what you've done is just foolish. So be it, Legion dog! VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic004 {Slight Offense}The clamor of our bloodthirsty crowds reaches every corner of The Wasteland, but I'll pretend that your ignorance doesn't offend me, stranger. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic004 {Proud}This is The Thorn! Here's where the strong make a name for themselves and the weak are fed to the jaws of hell. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic004 You can bet on the contenders or, if you have what it takes, be one of the contenders. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic004 {Severe}Be warned, The Thorn demands respect. Break the rules, or offend me in any way, and I'll gut you open for all to see. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic007 So long, stranger. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic008 Good work, stranger. The Thorn will nurture these eggs until their hatchlings are ready to bleed for us. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic008 Here's a compensation for your service. I trust that we're in agreement over it. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic009 Good work, stranger. The Thorn will nurture these eggs until their hatchlings are ready to bleed for us. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic009 Here's a compensation for your service. I trust that we're in agreement over it. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic010 {Immpressed, showing emotions almost for the first time}You've, indeed, become the greatest hunter The Thorn has ever seen, the best I've ever seen. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic010 You've earned the honor of being part of this sacred ground. Come to me often and I'll share with you the wealth of The Thorn. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic011 What do you want to know? VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic012 Ask and you might get an answer. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic013 What's on your mind? VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic016 New Vegas has many faces, stranger. Despite everything, it shall never be whole. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic016 When the land hunts you, when fighting for survival is the norm, your neighbors become either saviors, or enemies. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic016 Westside is a part of New Vegas, just as much as it's a part of the Wasteland. In the end, stranger, we need them both to continue making our fate. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic016 Westside is a part of New Vegas, just as much as it's a part of the Wasteland. In the end, stranger, we need them both to continue making our fate. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic017 Good work, stranger. The Thorn will nurture these eggs until their hatchlings are ready to bleed for us. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic017 Here's a compensation for your service. I trust that we're in agreement over it. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic018 We've got a pair of Giant Mantises ready to bleed. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic018 Radscorpions. The crowd loves those. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic018 We're lucky to have some Cazadores in the next match. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic018 Giant Radscorpions are about to battle in The Thorn. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic018 Deadly NightStalkers will now fight for our pleasure. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic018 The strongest Geckos you'll ever see are ready to fight. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic018 {Excitedly, yet still solemn}The deadliest beast of all! You've never seen anything like this before. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic018 Deathclaws will bleed this sacred ground red! Make your bets, stranger, before it's too late. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic018 Fiend prisoners will fight for their lives against Night Stalkers. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic018 Radscorpions against Fiends. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic018 We've got three fiends ready for our Cazadores. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic018 A rare fight, Deathclaw against Fire Geckos. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic018 Giant Radscorpions against two Deathclaws. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic019 {Remains Stoic, Unperturbed}Even if I trusted you I'd not share my secrets just for your pretty face, stranger. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic019 The Thorn's a sacred ground, a source of awe. Here we truly rule over the forces of nature, for once. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic019 {Not a chiding remark, but firm and proud}These beasts are slaves to their instincts and hunger for blood. That's good enough an answer for everyone, and it'll do for you too. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic019 {Not a chiding remark, but firm and proud}These beasts are slaves to their instincts and hunger for blood. That's good enough an answer for everyone, and it'll do for you too. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic020 And I won't stop you, stranger. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic020 {Stoic, deathwish" for has a transcendental meaning}What's the name of your deathwish?" VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic022 Let's test your mettle. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic022 On how many can you take, stranger? VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic023 Let's see what you've got. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic023 On how many can you take, stranger? VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic024 {Cautionary, A Situation of Great Magnitude}My deadly Cazadores will test your limits. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic024 On how many can you take, stranger? VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic025 {Cautionary, but still stoic}Be warned, my Geckos are the toughest you'll ever face. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic025 On how many can you take, stranger? VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic026 {Quite moved, respects players' bravery}Now you're talking! I'll be impressed if you make it out alive, stranger. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic026 Having seen what you're capable of, I think you'd fight a horde of them and not bat an eye. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic026 {Firm}But The Thorn honors balance, not foolish sacrifice. I'll only allow one Deathclaw against you. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic028 You got it. Best of luck and enjoy the carnage. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic029 You got it. Best of luck and enjoy the carnage. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic031 I'm listening. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic033 You've got yourself a deal. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic033 Get to your cage and ready your arm. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic034 {Approving}Confident, I like that. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic034 Get to your cage and ready your arm. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic035 {Approving}The crowd loves your bravery. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic035 Get to your cage and ready your arm. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic038 Good work, stranger. The Thorn will nurture these eggs until their hatchlings are ready to bleed for us. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic038 Here's a compensation for your service. I trust that we're in agreement over it. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic039 You've got yourself a deal. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic039 Get to your cage and ready your arm. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic040 Confident, I like that. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic040 Get to your cage and ready your arm. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic041 The crowd loves your bravery. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic041 Get to your cage and ready your arm. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic043 You've got yourself a deal. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic043 Get to your cage and ready your arm. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic044 Confident, I like that. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic044 Get to your cage and ready your arm. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic045 The crowd loves your bravery. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic045 Get to your cage and ready your arm. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic052 The rules are simple. My creatures fight for our pleasure. You can bet on a contender and earn double if you chose the victor. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic052 But you can get a bigger share if you risk your skin in The Thorn. Win a fight and I'll give you a meaty cut of the earnings. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic052 {Severe}I won't tolerate anyone that interferes with the fights.

VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic099 My creatures are expensive to find, expensive to raise, and expensive to maintain. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic099 If your pleasure is to see them bleed at your will, I'll oblige only after my costs are covered, stranger. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic099 Those costs will change depending on your choice of fighters. Also, I'll only allow fair fights in The Thorn. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic099 I'll help you set up good matches.

VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic214 Our creatures come from the farthest reaches of the Wasteland. The Thorn takes care of them until the time to spill their blood comes. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic214 We constantly replenish our stock to keep this holy ground soaked red. Only a few brave ones{slight emphasis in ever"} ever earn the honor of serving The Thorn." VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic216 Think you have what it takes?{Pensive pause} Hmm, all right. Prove your worth and I'll reward your service. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic216 The Thorn needs newborn specimens that will one day grow to honor us with their blood. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic216 Bring me a dozen Giant Mantis' eggs. If you accomplish this, I might gift you with greater tasks in the future. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic216 Bring me a dozen Giant Mantis' eggs. If you accomplish this, I might gift you with greater tasks in the future. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic217 You'll find egg-carrying Mantises in The Wasteland. But a wise hunter would search at a Mantis' breeding ground, like the nearby ruins of Vault 22. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic219 You've got yourself a deal. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic219 So long, stranger. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic219 So long, stranger. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic222 We constantly replenish our stock to keep this holy ground soaked red.

VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic227 {Recognizing players' deeds}You speak the truth, stranger, and The Thorn lives by the justice that honor and strength dispense. Here's a more fitting sum. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic228 {Slightly bothered that players even dare ask more from The Thorn}Those are the risks of a hunter's life. I've delivered as promised, but perhaps I should better search for someone with greater resolve and honor? VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic229 Bring me a dozen Radscorpion eggs. I'll see to it that you're rewarded fairly. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic229 Bring me a dozen Fire Gecko eggs. This great challenge will earn you a matching reward. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic229 The Thorn's calling its elite hunters to collect one of its deadliest creatures. Find Night Stalker eggs and your bravery will be greatly rewarded. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic229 I'm asking our top hunters to gather Cazador eggs.{Sincere affirmation, weighed by the task at hand} I'd be impressed by whoever returns with such a prize. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic229 {Words charged with solemn excitement, a moment of great relevance}This is it, hunter. I've decided to grant{slight emphasis in you"} you the opportunity to earn the greatest honor The Thorn could ever expect." VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic229 Deathclaws are our most precious and our most feared contenders. I want you to be the one to deliver the sacred eggs to me, personally. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic231 I thank you, stranger. The Thorn thanks you. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic232 {Slightly suspicious of players' motives}Don't think your servile gesture earns my respect, stranger. But if that's how you want it, so it'll be. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic234 The eggs I seek are not easy to find, stranger. Your best chances are in the mountains north of Goodsprings, and west from Quarry Junction. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic237 You've got yourself a deal. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic237 So long, stranger. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic237 So long, stranger. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic242 Your loss. Come back to me when you have something to offer. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic244 You're proving your worth to The Thorn. I hope these extra caps are sufficient to demonstrate my fairness. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic245 Those are the risks of a hunter's life. I've delivered as promised, but perhaps I should better search for someone with greater resolve and honor? VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic246 Thank you, stranger. The Thorn thanks you. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic247 Don't think your servile gesture earns my respect, stranger. But if that's how you want it, so it'll be. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic251 Fire Geckos are among The Wasteland's most dangerous creatures. Near the Ireteba Peaks lies a nest where you may find their eggs. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic252 Confident, I like that. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic252 So long, stranger. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic252 So long, stranger. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic253 Your loss. Come back to me when you have something to offer. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic254 You are a match to my elite, but don't congratulate yourself so profusely just yet. Still, your valor deserves recognition and I shall honor it. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic255 Those are the risks of a hunter's life. I've delivered as promised, but perhaps I should better search for someone with greater resolve and honor? VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic259 Night Stalkers are amongst the most fearsome beasts you'll ever face. They're also hard to find, but I know of a nest at a cave near Bittersprings. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic260 Confident, I like that. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic260 So long, stranger. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic260 So long, stranger. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic261 Thank you, stranger. The Thorn thanks you. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic262 Don't think your servile gesture earns my respect, stranger. But if that's how you want it, so it'll be. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic263 Your loss. Come back to me when you have something to offer. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic264 Do you have good news for The Thorn? VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic265 You speak the truth, stranger, and The Thorn lives by the justice that honor and strength dispense. Here's a more fitting sum. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic269 Those are the risks of a hunter's life. I've delivered as promised, but perhaps I should better search for someone with greater resolve and honor? VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic270 Thank you, stranger. The Thorn thanks you. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic271 {Brief pause, surprised that players succeeded}That actually manages to surprise me, stranger. I'm starting to believe that there's something special about you. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic272 Cazadores are extremely deadly, but they are also reclusive. Try looking near the Red Rock's canyons. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic273 The crowd loves your bravery. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic273 So long, stranger. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic273 So long, stranger. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic274 Good work, stranger. The Thorn will nurture these eggs until their hatchlings are ready to bleed for us. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic274 Here's a compensation for your service. I trust that we're in agreement over it. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic275 You are a match to my elite, but don't congratulate yourself so profusely just yet. Still, your valor deserves recognition and I shall honor it. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic276 Those are the risks of a hunter's life. I've delivered as promised, but perhaps I should better search for someone with greater resolve and honor? VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic280 Thank you, stranger. The Thorn thanks you. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic281 {Brief pause, surprised that players succeeded}That actually manages to surprise me, stranger. I'm starting to believe that there's something special about you. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic282 Quarry Junction is overrun with Deathclaws, but you may stand a better chance at a nest near the Repconn Test Site. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic283 {A hint of sincere emotion shows through her otherwise stoic mask}I've come to expect nothing less from you, brave stranger. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic283 {A hint of sincere emotion shows through her otherwise stoic mask}I've come to expect nothing less from you, brave stranger. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic284 You've done enough to last many lifetimes, stranger. But{slight pause, hesitant to speak so unfamiliar words}... I'd like you to come see me, again. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic287 Thank you, my brave hunter. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic288 Your loss. Come back to me when you have something to offer. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic289 Your loss. Come back to me when you have something to offer. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic290 Your loss. Come back to me when you have something to offer. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic291 Westside attracts all sorts of travelers, including merchants and farmers. They come here to exchange their goods, or to seek protection. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic291 Our community provides enough food, clothes, weapons and medicine to encourage trade, and to arm our defenses. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic291 {Proud}The Thorn demonstrates, beyond anything else, that we're self-sufficient. Our desert-blood has overcome even the strongest beasts of the Wasteland. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic303 {Not chiding, but stating it as a fact of belief}The Thorn is my master, not the other way around. I live to make our kin able to transcend their limitations. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic303 {Not a lament, but a matter of fact, of human condition}Our land is harsh, and hostile. Our lives are cheap, and fragile. Death is our assured fate, striking when least we expect it. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic303 The Thorn awakens us to the truth. Here we escape from our bonds, and choose the moment of death against the will of destiny. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic304 The land does not care about petty squabbles among lesser men. I don't care about that either. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic304 In the end, the people of New Vegas will continue to live and die here. It matters not who their{A hint of Mockery} self-appointed master" is." VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic307 {Enjoys the over compliment, but retains composure}Bold, as it pleases The Thorn, and me. But it does take more than that to earn my admiration. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic307 You speak like a hunter, yet only actions prove one's worth. The Thorn requires a tribute of blood, and so do I. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic307 You show great promise. I look forward to the time when I can call you{weighing the words My Hunter" as something special} "My Hunter VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic307 {Softer, gentler, if still confident, voice}Your bravery surpasses that of any other, and I've come to admire your actions. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic307 Before death takes us, I would know you deeper. Come with me...{slight pause to savor the words} My Hunter. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic327 You got it.

VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic483 Get to your cage and ready your arm. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic484 {A hint of sincere emotion shows through her otherwise stoic mask}I've come to expect nothing less from you, brave stranger. VMS38VMS38RedLucyTopic484 Get to your cage and ready your arm. VMS40VBSLieutenantMarklandTopic000 {Grateful}Well, still. Thanks again. VMS40VBSLieutenantMarklandTopic001 {A little embarassed that he forgot to offer payment}Oh! Oh, yeah, sure, I think I can spare a little. Here. And thanks again. VMS40VBSLieutenantMarklandTopic002 {A little embarassed that he forgot to offer payment}Oh! Right, of course, I can give you a few spare meds and a few caps. Here. VMS40VBSLieutenantMarklandTopic003 {Pleased}No problem, here you go. I'm kind of amazed you found them at all. Thanks again for everything. VMS40VBSLieutenantMarklandTopic004 {Hesitant - thinks he's being ripped off but doesn't want to say it}Really? Wow. Well, you did pay for them, so here you go. Thanks again for everything. VMS41JacobstownKeeneTopic001 [SUCCEEDED] No, I didn't, not until now anyway. Very well, human. You've made your point, and I withdraw my... request. VMS41JacobstownKeeneTopic001 [FAILED] No more negotiating, and definitely no more waiting. This is your last chance before we take it by force. VMS41JacobstownKeeneTopic002 There are caches of Stealth Boys out there. With the Mark II in hand, it shouldn't be difficult to upgrade every one of them. VMS41JacobstownKeeneTopic003 Our lives, our decision to make. We're tired of sitting around in Jacobstown waiting for a cure. VMS41JacobstownKeeneTopic004 Good, good. Smart move, human. VMS41JacobstownKeeneTopic005 {snapping into berserk mode}I knew humans could never be reasonable! I knew it! Stupid, stupid humans! I'll kill you! VMS41VRemDoctorHenryTopic000 All right. I'll dismantle the prototype to avoid any further incidents with the Nightkin. VMS41VRemDoctorHenryTopic001 Very well. It will be worth it, I'm sure. VMS41VRemDoctorHenryTopic002 I'm close to the cure, I can feel it. Lily's continued help will give me the last bit of data that I need. VMS41VRemDoctorHenryTopic003 I understand. Get back to me with an answer as soon as you can. VMS41VRemDoctorHenryTopic004 Permanent damage to her mind is a certainty. Even the cure won't help her. VMS41VRemDoctorHenryTopic005 [SUCCEEDED] That's... brilliant. Simple, yet elegant. I can't believe I didn't think of that. VMS41VRemDoctorHenryTopic005 [FAILED] Neuron decay is rapid after death, and I doubt a live Nightstalker would cooperate with my test. VMS42VRRCPapaKhanTopic000 Well now... the armory could always use more firepower. Very well. Tell the Powder Gangers we accept their offer. VMS42VRRCPapaKhanTopic000 However, they would still have to pass the initiation rite to truly join our ranks. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic000 Fucking Cooke has us trapped here. After we escaped from an NCR prison, he dragged us around the wasteland until we ended up in this shit hole. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic000 A group of us want to leave, go back to the NCR and surrender. But Cooke won't let us. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic000 After you cut off access to the sulfur, Cooke left. I guess we're free to surrender to the NCR now. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic000 We're waiting on you. A lot of us are interested in joining the Khans. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic001 Cooke is just an overambitious prick, and he's going to get us all killed. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic002 I'm a nobody. Just a survivor. Things were well enough until the NCR threw me behind bars. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic005 I made my living sneaking into NCR camps looking for shit to steal. I got sloppy, and then I got caught. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic006 Made it out during Cooke's big prison break, like the rest of the guys here. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic007 Alright. What do you want to know? VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic007 If you can find a way to cut off access to the sulfur in the caves below the vault, I've got some caps waiting for you. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic007 Later. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic007 See you around. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic008 Samuel Cooke. It was his idea to organize a jailbreak, but now he's just an overambitious prick who's going to get us all killed. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic009 I can be pretty sneaky when I need to be, and the prison guards were a joke. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic009 So when Cooke told me his plan, I spread the info to anyone that might be useful. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic012 Cooke organized the breakout. But he's just an overambitious prick who's going to get us all killed. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic141 I have to watch Cooke. I wouldn't put it past him to just start killing the opposition, starting with me. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic142 Thanks. Take this keycard - I tried hacking the locking mechanisms on the doors, but it seems that the only way in is with one of these. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic143 Cooke is planning to use the sulfur to make bigger explosives. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic143 Will you check out the caves and see if there's anything you can do? VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic143 Without access to the sulfur, he'll lose what influence he has left with the men here. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic179 Good to hear. Without access to the sulfur, Cooke doesn't have much to offer the gang. I... I guess it's over, then. We can turn ourselves in. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic182 Well, that's a hell of a lot better than going back to prison. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic185 We can't survive like this - there are too many of us and we don't have the resources. And maybe it's the right thing to do. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic189 [FAILED] No, this needs to end. I'm tired of running and living like scavengers. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic189 [SUCCEEDED] I hadn't thought of that. Would you be willing to talk to them on our behalf? VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic197 Thank you. I think I just needed to hear someone else say it. I suppose without rule of law, we're no better than raiders. VMS42VVault19PhilipLemTopic199 Thank you. We'll wait here until we hear from you. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic000 You won't get a fucking cap from me, and you're lucky I don't blow your goddamn head off. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic000 The whole point of killing the geckos was so we could get at the sulfur and you've just made that a hell of a lot more difficult. Now fuck off. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic015 What do you want to know? VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic015 There are some fire geckos in the lower levels of the Vault. We need to get them gone so we can get to the sulfur. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic015 You go clear them out for us, and there'll be some caps for you. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic015 I want you to head to Red Rock Canyon, north of here. Find Papa Khan and ask him if he'd allow the Powder gangers to join up. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic015 Bye. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic015 See you around. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic019 That coward Lem has been talking about surrendering to the NCR. Now the men are confused, not sure who's leading this gang. Fucking idiots. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic019 Lem's been taken care of. We can start mining that sulfur now, thanks to you. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic023 Some of the computers still work, but the only files are diaries and garbage. Typical vault. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic025 You really don't know? I'm Samuel Cooke. I was the brains behind the NCRCF prison break. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic027 Their republic" is a joke. They're a bunch of tyrants led by an even greater tyrant VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic027 They think they have the right to annex every inch of dirt in the West and force their system on every man, woman, and child. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic032 He was an inmate like the rest of us. He had his uses, but he's a coward and a troublemaker. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic034 He was an inmate like the rest of us. He was useful during the jailbreak, but now... VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic034 He's just another coward. He wants us to leave the vault and hand our asses to the NCR, as if they'd treat us like human beings. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic035 I was blowing up supply caravans along the 15 freeway. The NCR got wise to my ambush spots, picked me up and threw me in a cage. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic036 A beautiful thing. Saved a little blast powder here, hid a makeshift weapon there, and one day I orchestrated a little symphony for the NCR. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic038 Didn't have a choice. He was confusing the men, and I need to control them or we're just a bunch of disorganized idiots. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic039 I have to keep an eye on that bastard Lem. The second I turn my back, he might go crying to the NCR. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic039 So, what do you say? You going to take care of those geckos? VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic041 Explosives. Bombs. Big, big fucking bombs. You gonna help us or not? VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic046 There aren't enough of us here to make a real impact on the NCR, and the Khans probably hate the NCR more than we do. Strength in numbers, they say. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic046 So, will you talk to Papa Khan on our behalf? VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic047 Great. Come back as soon as you can. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic048 Great. Get to it. Oh, and take this - there's some weird shit with this Vault's security and some doors will only open if you have a keycard. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic058 Heard there was an abandoned vault along this mountain ridge, and that the wildlife here had teeth big enough to keep the NCR away. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic059 It's a fucking deathtrap around here. Fiends swarm all over Vault 3 in the east, and there are fucking Deathclaws south of that, at Quarry Junction. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic059 If you're looking for humans, the Khans are north of us and an NCR base at McCarran, past Vault 3. Supposedly there are muties to the southeast. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic071 Like raiders, but worse - these guys are messed up on every damn chem there is. You can spot them by the horned skulls they wear as hats. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic074 The NCR's been mining there for awhile, but now it's full of Deathclaws. Don't go there unless you want a quick, bloody death. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic076 It's the main base for the NCR, and a breeding ground for oppression in the name of patriotic bullshit. Do humanity a favor and blow it up. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic078 They've been through some rough times, but they can hold their own. I wouldn't mind taking the boys and signing up with them, if it weren't for Lem. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic094 I've heard the muties there are different. Completely insane, and supposedly they use some kind of invisibility technology. I'd stay away. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic218 Good. Hey, I got another job for you if you're interested. VMS42VVault19SamuelCookeTopic221 I'd rather not, but fair enough. We'll do it. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic000 None that aren't feral ghouls. Those poor bastards - I can't imagine how they must be suffering. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic000 I'd like to put them out of their misery but I don't have the heart to do it. Can you do me a favor? VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic005 Better get back to it then, I don't want those poor soldiers suffering for longer than they have to. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic006 The rangers at Echo have been keeping an eye on that place. It's relatively new, but those bastards have already dug in. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic006 They appear to be running a slave-trading operation and it also seems to be one of the primary crossing points for Legion raiding parties. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic006 Let's hear it. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic006 Let's hear it. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic007 Some Legionaries snuck into the camp and set off some kind of radiation bomb. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic007 I don't know where they got it, but it was damn effective. Killed almost everyone and turned the rest into ghouls. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic008 Sure, what's on your mind? VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic013 Thank you, every tag you bring me is one more soldier at peace. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic018 Sure. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic023 Stay safe. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic027 Okay. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic054 I was out on patrol at the time so I wasn't in the camp when it happened. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic054 There were a few others with me after it happened, including some of my superiors. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic054 Between radiation poisoning and attacks by the Legion they all died out. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic055 I don't know, unfortunately. There may be clues somewhere inside the camp, but I'm not about to run in there to find out. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic057 Head north toward Novac. Look for a big dinosaur, can't miss it. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic058 Who is Private Edwards? VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic059 I was stationed at Camp Searchlight before the incident. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic059 I've since taken it upon myself to keep travelers away from the area. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic075 I want you to put down the troopers that... changed. Turned into ghouls. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic076 We don't get many supplies out here, but I can offer you some caps and maybe some old gear. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic077 I understand. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic079 The whole area is irradiated and filled with mutated creatures. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic082 [FAILED] Sorry I don't have anything else to offer. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic082 [SUCCEEDED]I can't offer much more aside from some extra ammo. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic087 Thank you. Could you bring me their dog tags? Some of the troopers should still be wearing them. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic087 I'll give you some caps for each one you bring back to me. There's an old rifle in it for you if you can bring me at least 10. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic087 Oh and take these radiation supplies. You'll need them. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic088 Those boys aren't themselves anymore. They're in pain, and you don't let good men suffer like that. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic088 Those troopers deserve a clean death. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic092 Because it's a far safer place to be than here. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic094 Mostly ghouls, and a handful of radscorps. I think some geckos moved in not too long ago. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic094 They seem to stick mostly to the south end of the camp. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic104 If he's a ghoul he should be put down. I can't let a rabid dog suffer. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic106 Sure. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic109 Doesn't mean he isn't suffering, or that he won't go feral eventually. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic110 Sure. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic112 [FAILED] I'd rather not take the chance. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic112 [SUCCEEDED] Alright, I'll give him a shot. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic113 [FAILED] Sorry, I can't take that risk. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic113 [SUCCEEDED] Well, maybe I can give him a chance. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic114 There's a ranger station north of here that has a few ghouls running it. Maybe they'll take him in. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic119 Good luck with that. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic120 Sure. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic121 Thank you for the help. I can rest easier knowing those poor soldiers no longer have to suffer. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic139 Sure. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic143 If you can scout out the camp, bring back any intel on troop movement or plans for future raids. The rangers could put that information to good use. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic143 Also, if you're any good at covert ops, I would love to get a bug planted on their radio. So far, we've been unable to crack their encryption. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic144 What?! How did you pull it off? VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic145 Good to hear. This is the bug you'll need for the radio. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic145 Report back if you pick up any intel or manage to sneak the bug into their radio. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic146 Just let me know if you're available for the op. After what they did to Searchlight, they have a shitstorm coming. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic147 That's exactly what we needed to put a cork in that camp. The Legion won't be moving through there anytime soon. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic147 It's a fitting revenge for Searchlight. Thanks for taking care of those bastards for us. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic152 This is more than I could have hoped for! It almost seems too good to be true, but the details are all here. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic152 Looks like they're planning to strike some of the southern caravans. I'll notify the rangers and patrols in that area immediately. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic152 Here are some caps for your trouble. You've done us a great service. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic153 Well, unless you want to go in there and clean out that camp for me, I guess this should be more than enough for now. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic155 {Genuine Surprise}What?.. Really?! You're mad, but I like it! VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic155 According to the notes you gave me, all of the southern raiding parties come from that camp. Caesar regularly sends fresh squads to relieve patrols. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic155 Killing their Centurion and leadership would be a start, but finding a way to permanently shut down that dock is what we really need. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic156 Report back when the camp is clear. I'll try and shuffle some men in that direction once the Legion is gone. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic157 Yeah, I know I wouldn't sign up for that solo op if asked. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic158 This is more than I could have hoped for! It almost seems too good to be true, but the details are all here. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic158 Looks like they're planning to shift their raids north of Vegas. I'll shift some of the rangers and NCR patrols in that direction when they're free. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic158 Here are some caps for your trouble. You've done us a great service. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic159 Anything else? VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic160 What?! How did you pull it off? VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic161 That's exactly what we needed to put a cork in that camp. The Legion won't be moving through there anytime soon. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic161 Fitting that the camp was taken care of in a way similar to Searchlight. Thank you for taking care of that place for us. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic162 A single man slaughters an entire camp of legionaries?! I'm amazed.{test text} VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic162 It took everything we had in the last battle at the dam to stand against those brutes. You're a beast, son. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic162 You've done a fine job, friend. Here is a little something for your work. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic162 A single woman slaughters an entire camp of legionaries?! Oh, that's priceless! VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic162 Considering the way Caesar treats women, that should really put some doubts into his troops' minds. Wait til the rangers hear about this! VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic162 You've done a fine job, friend. Here's a little something for your work. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic165 Sure. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic167 Sure. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic168 Understandable. Let me know when you've decided. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic169 Okay. VMS43CampSearchlightAstorTopic172 Okay. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic000 No, I'm not. Not yet anyway. I'm Private Kyle Edwards, former NCR trooper. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic001 I'm here because I have nowhere else to go. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic002 Are you sure about that? VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic003 Yeah, I am. What of it? VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic004 Not much, I'm afraid. What do you want to know? VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic005 [FAILED] I may be angry, but I'm not stupid. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic005 [SUCCEEDED] You're right, I should. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic007 Maybe now I can get my old life back, or at least most of it. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic007 It's not much, but I want you to have this. Thanks for your help. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic009 Couldn't you tell? That damn radiation bomb got me. I can't serve the NCR like this... VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic010 [FAILED] I'm still not so sure about that. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic010 [SUCCEEDED] Guess it can't hurt to say hello. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic013 I suppose. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic014 I suppose. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic015 I know that this place was originally a mining town before the NCR took it over. I think they mined gold before the war. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic015 Sorry I don't know much more than that. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic016 I'm not so sure about that. I don't know how the NCR feels about ghouls. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic017 Yeah, I know. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic018 What? VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic019 Alright. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic023 Later. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic029 Sorry, I'm not about to give it up. It's the only thing I have left that reminds me of who I was. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic032 He wants to kill me? What did I ever do to him? VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic033 Sure. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic043 Believe me, I'd love to leave, but I can't because I don't know what effect the radiation will have on me. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic044 I'm guessing it's because I'm outside of the heavy radiation areas. I'm not going outside to find out, though. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic047 Alright. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic048 You're probably right. Here, take it. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic056 I don't really know the details of it, it all happened too quickly. I remember being hit by a blast of energy. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic056 Next thing I know, I wake up like... like this. I've been staying in this house ever since. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic056 I don't know much about what's going on outside, aside from the creatures that moved in since then. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic062 Yeah, but I don't want to go feral, and that's probably what more radiation would do to me. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic063 Radscorpions. Fuckers creep the hell out of me. I'm not going outside while they're still crawling around. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic064 Look, just leave me alone. I'm not going outside. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic065 Fine. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic073 I suppose. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic076 Maybe it's time for me to leave this place, then. Any ideas where I can go? VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic077 Nope, no way. I'm not going anywhere until I know they're gone. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic078 [FAILED] Sorry, I don't believe you. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic078 [SUCCEEDED] Thanks for your help. I can finally get out of this place. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic079 [FAILED] Sorry, I'm not giving it to you. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic079 [SUCCEEDED] You're probably right. Here, take it. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic080 Ok. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic085 Thanks. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic086 Alright. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic088 You know what? Why the hell not. There are plenty of places out there to explore, and I'm kinda tired of being stuck in this house. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic089 Are you sure he'll be okay with it? Not everyone is crazy about ghouls. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic090 I don't know if that's such a great idea. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic091 There's a Ranger Station run by ghouls? Finally, I feel like I have a place to go. Thanks for your help. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic092 Alright. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic093 Really? Thanks, I owe you one. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic094 Any ideas where I can go? VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic097 Sure. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic100 I think I'll take my chances with the wasteland. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic102 [FAILED] Bullying me won't make me give it to you. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic102 [SUCCEEDED] Fine, here. Take it. Just leave me alone. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic110 Suffering? I may be suffering but I still want to live. You tell that bastard that I have every intention of doing so. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic111 I'll kill you for that! VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic112 Sure. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic113 What do you want to know? VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic116 Sure. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic121 Sure. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic122 Sure. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic123 Sure. VMS43CampSearchlightPvtEdwardsTopic124 Alright. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic000 Name's Logan. What the hell do you want? VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic001 That's none of your damn business. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic002 Tell you what. Bring us those suits, and you can come with us while we loot the town. You can keep a share. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic003 It's about damn time. You ready to go? VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic004 Anything branded by the NCR related to weapons, computers, or radios. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic004 There's gotta be more than that, keep looking. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic004 Alright, we can move on now. Here's the key to the Fire Station. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic005 Same stuff. Any NCR weapons, computer parts, or radio parts. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic005 I'll need more than that. Keep looking. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic005 Alright, thanks for the help. Time to die loser. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic009 Yeah, whatever. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic010 You must be crazy if you're just passing through" this place." VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic011 Then why are you in here bothering me instead of out there hunting them? VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic012 Look, I don't need your shit. Either get out of the way or things are gonna get rough. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic022 Look if you really want to help either get the fuck out of our way or hack that damn computer over there. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic023 All I know is that the whole place is filled with radiation, there are nasty creatures roaming about. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic023 And that my employer is paying me a pretty penny to loot it. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic028 Some caravan company, Crimson something or other. Some old broad said they're looking to expand their business, be more competitive or some shit. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic028 I don't really care, so long as I get paid. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic034 The location of some radiation suits. I found an inventory list that says they should be here but I can't seem to find them anywhere. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic034 The computer should know what happened to them. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic037 Yeah you do that. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic040 Well then, get your ass out there. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic041 [FAILED] Fuck you. You'll get the same as everyone else. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic041 [SUCCEEDED] Alright, fine, but you gotta bring us those suits first. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic044 Good, now get going. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic047 Just go already. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic050 Good, we're going to the Police Station first. Here's the key, we'll follow you there. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic050 And just so you know, I'm not leaving town until I get what I came for. If you decide to go wandering off somewhere else, don't expect me to follow. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic051 Well hurry the fuck up, I don't wanna wait all day. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic052 What? VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic055 We're gonna check out the police and fire stations. They were the buildings used the most by the NCR, so they're our best chance at good shit. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic055 I found the keys on one of the trooper corpses. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic056 Anything that's valuable. You done with the questions yet? VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic060 It's about damn time. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic069 Look, I'm not leaving this place 'til I have what I came for. I'll be in the storage basement if you change your mind. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic070 Damn right it is. Now let's get going. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic070 Then get your ass back into town before talking to me. I wanna know you're serious about this. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic071 Whatever. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic072 Whatever. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic074 Whatever. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic076 Whatever. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic078 Don't think too hard, you'll hurt yourself. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic080 Whatever. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic084 Whatever. VMS44CampSearchlightLoganTopic087 Whatever. VMS45QJMelissaTopic000 What? No, he... what do you mean, aren't allowed to serve? Why would he lie about that? VMS45QJMelissaTopic001 That lying little weasel! I almost fell for it, too! All right, you've got a deal. You can tell Papa I won't support an alliance. VMS45Topic000 I'm afraid not. Our instructions were very specific. You have to die. VMS45Topic001 I hope you'll be a half-decent challenge. VMS45Topic002 Aieee! VMS45Topic003 Ave Caesar! VMS45Topic004 Oh God help us! VMS45VFSJulieFarkasTopic000 He's a member of the Followers like myself, but his particular field is pre-War history and tribal culture. VMS45VFSJulieFarkasTopic000 I do recall him being fascinated by the Khans, he kept going on about parallels to some ancient historical empire or another. VMS45VFSJulieFarkasTopic001 He rarely stops in here these days - you'd do best to look for him out in the wastes east of New Vegas. He's always looking for new tribes to study. VMS45VFSJulieFarkasTopic002 Was there something else you needed? VMS45VHDColonelMooreTopic003 We don't have time for diplomacy. This battle is coming any time now; if the leader won't be budged, he'll have to be replaced. VMS45VHDColonelMooreTopic003 I want you to go back to Red Rock Canyon and assassinate this Papa Khan. You'll have to be stealthy - if they see you do it, they'll kill you. VMS45VHDColonelMooreTopic004 Here, take this lockpicking gear. Your best bet is to wait until late at night find a back door, or catch him by surprise when he's alone. VMS45VHDColonelMooreTopic004 Good luck, soldier. VMS45VHDColonelMooreTopic004 Dismissed. VMS45VHDColonelMooreTopic005 Then why are you wasting my time? VMS45VHDColonelMooreTopic005 Dismissed! VMS45VRRCDianeTopic000 I haven't heard anything like that. Do you have any proof? VMS45VRRCDianeTopic001 Okay, come on back when you do. VMS45VRRCDianeTopic002 Okay, I won't bother. VMS45VRRCEzekielTopic000 Well, after they migrated to the Mojave, we established relations with them, but that soured when all they wanted was to make drugs. VMS45VRRCEzekielTopic000 The NCR eventually took them down quite a bit, but the really fascinating thing about them is the origin of their culture as a whole. You see.... VMS45VRRCEzekielTopic001 Oh, of course! I'm sorry, I do tend to get wrapped up in my own theories and forget that not everyone finds them as fascinating as I do. VMS45VRRCEzekielTopic001 Here, I salvaged this book from an old library. It's a history of a people called the {over-enunciate, like it's unfamiliar}Mongols. I think that's what the Khans built their culture on. VMS45VRRCEzekielTopic001 You should read it, it's fascinating stuff. VMS45VRRCGreatKhanMessengerTopic000 He didn't say, but it sounded very important. VMS45VRRCGreatKhanMessengerTopic001 Excellent. I'll let him know you're coming. Good luck out there. VMS45VRRCGreatKhanMessengerTopic002 That's too bad. I hope you'll change your mind. VMS45VRRCJackTopic000 [SUCCEEDED] Dude! What a total haul! No way that's {COPE-a-shee-shee; made-up word}copasheshy. Yeah, okay, me and Diana got your back. No sweat. VMS45VRRCJackTopic000 [FAILED] Dude... wait, what? That's totally kakadoodle, man. You been huffing fumes in the Magic Bus or something? VMS45VRRCKarlTopic000 Well-spoken. VMS45VRRCKarlTopic001 Noooooooo! VMS45VRRCKarlTopic002 [SUCCEEDED] {Getting annoyed}Of course I am! {Smoother, recovering}That is to say, Caesar has many fine warriors, and I wouldn't wish to compare them to the Great Khans. VMS45VRRCKarlTopic002 [FAILED] You insult our hosts, where I wouldn't dare to. You might want to watch that talk around Papa Khan. VMS45VRRCKarlTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] {Furious}Enough! How dare you compare Caesar's finest to this tribe of savages? The mightiest Great Khan is scarcely a match for a Legion recruit! VMS45VRRCKarlTopic003 The Burned Man would leave their mightiest shitting themselves in terror! I would... {Beat, realizing what he's just done}Uhhh, that is.... VMS45VRRCKarlTopic003 [FAILED] Win? I wasn't aware we were competing. VMS45VRRCKarlTopic004 You motherless bastard. You'll pay for this! VMS45VRRCKarlTopic005 I suppose if asked, I would. But that's a moot point, because Papa's in charge now, and he's not going anywhere. VMS45VRRCKarlTopic006 In exchange for great Caesar's promise of all the lands west of New Vegas, the Khans have agreed to fight alongside the Legion when the time comes. VMS45VRRCKarlTopic007 I am one of the {Fru-men-TAR-ee-eye}frumentarii: it is my duty to scout the Wastes in Caesar's name and make contact with any tribes that might serve a useful purpose. VMS45VRRCKarlTopic007 You might say I'm somewhere between a scout and an ambassador. I'm assigned here as part of the alliance between the Legion and the Great Khans. VMS45VRRCKarlTopic008 Though they have been cruelly oppressed by the NCR, the Khans remain great warriors. {Choking on this a little; he's lying and it galls him}The Legion is honored to have such allies in battle. VMS45VRRCKarlTopic009 Speak, then. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic000 Doesn't he? Caesar's representative tells a different tale. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic000 The glory of the Great Khans will be restored, and once the NCR is pushed back to California, all the land from here to the Colorado will be ours. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic000 I won't hear any more talk against Caesar or his alliance. The Great Khans will answer Caesar's call to war, and the NCR will pay for their crimes. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic001 Hah! The Great Khans will not be slaves. Caesar himself has promised us the land from here to the Colorado and the freedom to raid as we see fit. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic002 {Suddenly cold and furious}Don't you dare mention the NCR under this roof. They are butchers without honor, killers of women and children! VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] Well-spoken, traveler. Well spoken indeed. Perhaps it's time to find our own destiny unburdened by the past. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic003 We'll begin readying the camp to move. As soon as Caesar makes his move, we'll depart. We will make ourselves strong again, and we shall conquer! VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic003 Great Khans! Drive Caesar's dog out of our camp! If he's too slow to flee, kill him! VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] Well-spoken, traveler. Well spoken indeed. Perhaps it's time to find our own destiny unburdened by the past. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic003 We'll begin readying the camp to move. As soon as Caesar makes his move, we'll depart. We will make ourselves strong again, and we shall conquer! VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic003 [FAILED] You talk like glory is a hollow, meaningless thing. Maybe to you it is, but not to the Great Khans. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic003 Show me something to inspire my people, or we march with Caesar, despite my misgivings. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic004 If you should ever tire of wandering alone, seek us out. You might just have the makings of a Great Khan yourself. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic005 Whatever your motivation was, I think we owe you a debt. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic006 {Suddenly goes cold}You've helped me see Caesar for what he is, and I thank you for that - but if you suggest that again I will have your head. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic008 We'll remain until the camp is packed up. If you have some plan, see to it quickly. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic009 [SUCCEEDED] I should have you torn apart for speaking like that - but maybe you're right. The glory of the past is an empty dream. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic009 If the Khans are to be immortal, we must make our own destiny. We won't fight for Caesar, but when he strikes, we will ride out one last time. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic010 The Followers of the Apocalypse keep many records of the past. It's been a long time since we associated with them, but they might have something. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic010 Until you do find me something, though, know that I still plan to lead the Great Khans to fight for Caesar. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic011 Hmm... this is exactly the kind of symbol the Khans could unite behind. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic011 We'll begin readying the camp to move. As soon as Caesar makes his move, we'll depart. We will make ourselves strong again, and we shall conquer! VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic011 Hmm... this is exactly the kind of symbol the Khans could unite behind. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic011 We'll begin readying the camp to move. As soon as Caesar makes his move, we'll depart. We will make ourselves strong again, and we shall conquer! VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic011 Great Khans! Drive Caesar's dog out of our camp! If he's too slow to flee, kill him! VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic012 You don't have to say anything - I am Papa Khan, and I have spoken. When I'm gone, you will lead the tribe. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic013 I should have you torn apart for speaking like that - but maybe you're right. The glory of the past is an empty dream. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic013 If the Khans are to be immortal, we must make our own destiny. We won't fight for Caesar, but when he strikes, we will ride out one last time. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic014 In a hurry, are you? Very well then: The Great Khans came east out of the NCR 14 years ago. We ruled the Wastes, then, and called no man master. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic014 But we underestimated the Families of the Strip, and they drove us back to Bitter Springs, where we remained until the NCR arrived and drove us here. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic015 Typical. No reverence for history in the younger generations. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic016 They allied with Mr. House, the self-proclaimed master of New Vegas. He supported them with the resources of New Vegas: weapons, technology, caps. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic016 They were better equipped, and we could not stand against them. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic017 When the NCR came to the Mojave, we thought they would be easy pickings. We raided their caravans, their towns, their camps - they couldn't stop us. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic017 At least, that's what we thought. They tracked us to Bitter Springs and surrounded us. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic017 When our children, our sick and old, fled through a nearby pass, the NCR gunned them down. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic018 Oh, they claimed it was a miscommunication, but tell that to those who saw our families butchered. Tell it to the survivors who were banished here. VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic019 It's because of that that we have sworn to take revenge on the NCR. With our new allies in Caesar's Legion, we will crush them! VMS45VRRCPapaKhanTopic020 Then when I die, you can pass control of the Great Khans on to Regis. For now you are my heir, and will be accorded the honor of that position. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic000 Name's Regis. I'm Papa's second-in-command. You might say I... share your concern about Caesar. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic001 You want to convince Papa not to ally with Caesar, right? Trust me, you'll get nowhere just talking to him about it. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic001 He's fixated on restoring the glory of the Great Khans, and he sees Caesar as the path to that restoration. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic002 Because Papa listens to me. And because I actually know how to get things done around here. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic003 Papa can be a stubborn man, but he's not a tyrant. He listens to his tribe, and to four voices in particular: me, Jack and Diane, and Melissa. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic003 If you can convince all of us that allying with Caesar is a bad idea, you might be able to sway him. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic004 I have my doubts about Caesar, yes, but I won't publicly go against Papa Khan based on nothing more than doubts. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic004 I've heard rumors that tribes who aligned with Caesar in the past were torn apart and reduced to slaves - prove it, and I'll back you. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic005 You'd have to talk to them - but those two have been thick as thieves since they were kids. Convince one and the other will come around. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic006 Ah, Melissa. She's a bit of a dreamer. Last time she was in camp, Karl filled her head with stories of serving the Legion as a {SPECK-you-lay-tor-ay}speculatore. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic006 Personally, I've never seen a woman in Legionaire's armor, so I have my doubts. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic007 Nothing, forget about it. I shouldn't be talking about this with an outsider. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic007 I probably shouldn't say anything, but it seems Papa's been making decisions based more on his desire for revenge than what's good for the tribe. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic007 This alliance with Caesar, for one thing - I have my doubts about it. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic008 Good. Oh, one more thing: Caesar's representative, Karl, has become fast friends with Papa. Karl's the one who has him so fixated on this alliance. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic008 You'll probably have an easier time of things if you can find a way to get him out of the picture. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic009 I see. Then the Great Khans will fight for the Legion should Caesar give the call. If you change your mind, let me know. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic010 All right, what is it you wanted? VMS45VRRCRegisTopic011 Karl talks prettily about the honor and nobility of the Great Khans, but I suspect his actual opinion is less flattering. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic011 Maybe you could find something he wrote that expresses that opinion, or trick him into losing his cool in the longhouse right in front of Papa. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic012 I would too, if I were you. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic013 If you say so. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic015 Suit yourself. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic016 I really don't like to talk about it. Let's just say it was a tragedy and the NCR is to blame, and we'll leave it at that. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic017 Sure, go ahead. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic018 I just don't trust the words of Caesar's ambassador that much. He's promising a lot, and I don't see the advantage for him. It makes me suspicious. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic019 As you wish. When Caesar goes to war, we go with him. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic020 As you wish. When the Republic goes to war, we go with it. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic021 {Surprised, didn't expect this}I... very well. If that's what you want, that's what we'll do. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic021 I'll start the preparations and we'll leave when the NCR is distracted by Caesar's attack. VMS45VRRCRegisTopic022 {Uncertain, thinks this is probably a suicide attack}As you wish, chieftain. VMS46NullLinks We've got an associate in the Crimson Caravan Trading Company who distributes for us in Outer Vegas. He's been after us for a new shipment. VMS46NullLinks Groodalicious. That ought to rake in the caps. What do I owe you? VMS46vRRCAndersTopic000 Okay, but keep it quick. I'd like to get out of here before the Legionnaires come to check on me. VMS46vRRCAndersTopic001 Thanks. See you around. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic000 About three weeks ago I sent Anders southeast to find a route into Arizona to open new markets for our product. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic000 He should have been back two days ago, but there's been no sign of him. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic001 Okay then. Job'll be waiting if you change your mind. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic002 Thanks. Prove you're reliable on this, and I'll have more for you later. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic003 With Anders out of commission for so long, we're shorthanded on runners, and some backlogs have piled up. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic003 We've got an associate in the Crimson Caravan Trading Company who distributes for us in Outer Vegas. He's been after us for a new shipment. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic003 You up for something challenging? VMS46VRRCDianeTopic003 I've got a shipment of Jet and Psycho that needs to be delivered to Motor Runner at Vault 3. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic005 Great. Here's the package - your contact is Don Hostetler at the Crimson Caravan. Come back and see me when you're done. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic006 Anything else? VMS46VRRCDianeTopic008 Don't get cocky, the Fiends are twitchy. Most of them won't bother a Khan, but the ones outside the Vault... well, they're outside for a reason. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic008 Here's the package - good luck. Your payment will be waiting when you get back. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic008 Don't get cocky, the Fiends are twitchy. Most of them won't bother a Khan, but the ones outside the Vault... well, they're outside for a reason. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic008 Here's the package - good luck. Your payment will be waiting when you get back. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic010 [SUCCEEDED] You've got a point. Selling meds to the locals could be a pretty nice side gig. All right, I'll tell Jack to give it a try. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic010 [FAILED] That's touching, but it would take away from our bottom line. I'll have to pass. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic011 Here you go, you've earned these. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic012 Here you go. Enjoy it. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic013 Papa Khan has been talking to Caesar's emissary for weeks now - they're always going on about crushing the NCR. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic013 Papa's announced that if Caesar goes to war against the NCR, the Khans will go with him. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic014 Red Rock Canyon isn't exactly the most hospitable place - there's no food, barely any water, and nothing anybody wants. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic014 We used to send patrols out to acquire supplies, but ever since Bitter Springs there just aren't enough of us left. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic015 Sure, what do you want to know? VMS46VRRCDianeTopic016 We're supplying things people want in exchange for things our tribe needs. Don't judge us. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic017 We make regular shipments to a lot of settlements around the Mojave - a lot of our business comes from the Fiends lately. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic017 Personally, I think they're kind of creepy, but Papa likes the fact that they get hopped up on Psycho and harass NCR patrols. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic018 Like what? VMS46VRRCDianeTopic019 Okay, but please find him as soon as you can. VMS46VRRCDianeTopic020 What? How? What happened? VMS46VRRCDianeTopic021 What? Why the hell would you do that? Are you insane? VMS46VRRCDianeTopic022 Dammit! Okay, well, thank you for finding out at least. Was there something else you needed? VMS46VRRCDianeTopic024 Oh, because that makes it so much better! Get out of my sight, I have nothing to say to you any more! VMS46VRRCDianeTopic025 You're psychotic! Get out of my sight, I have nothing to say to you any more! VMS46VRRCJackTopic000 [SUCCEEDED] Whoa... you're right. I should start a side project making meds to keep my aura clean. VMS46VRRCJackTopic000 [FAILED] I don't know what you've been smoking, but where can I get some? VMS46VRRCJackTopic001 [SUCCEEDED] Right on, let's have it! VMS46VRRCJackTopic001 [FAILED] Cool. Maybe later. VMS46VRRCJackTopic002 [SUCCEEDED] Right on, let's have it! VMS46VRRCJackTopic002 [FAILED] Cool. Maybe later. VMS46VRRCJackTopic003 We make the happy stuff. What do you need? Jet, Psycho, a little Med-X to ease the pain? VMS46VRRCJackTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] Right on, let's have it! VMS46VRRCJackTopic004 [FAILED] Cool. Maybe later. VMS46VRRCJackTopic005 [SUCCEEDED] Right on, let's have it! VMS46VRRCJackTopic005 [FAILED] Cool. Maybe later. VMS46VRRCJackTopic006 [SUCCEEDED] Right on, let's have it! VMS46VRRCJackTopic006 [FAILED] Cool. Maybe later. VMS46VRRCJackTopic007 Cool. Maybe later. VMS46VRRCJackTopic009 Whatever. VMS46VRRCJackTopic010 Naw, man, more like... drug suppliers. Yeah. Other folks sell 'em. Diane's mostly in charge of that. VMS46VRRCJackTopic010 Naw, kitten, more like... drug suppliers. Yeah. Other folks sell 'em. Diane's mostly in charge of that. VMS46VRRCJackTopic011 Guess I just had a natural talent for it. When I was a kid, these cats called the Followers of the Apocalypse came to our camp. VMS46VRRCJackTopic011 They knew all kinds of kooky scientastical stuff, so I ate up all the chemistry they could teach. Diane had the head for business, so we teamed up. VMS46VRRCJackTopic012 Diane's my girl, man. We've been taking care of each other our whole lives, ever since our folks died. Now we keep the Khans in caps together. VMS46VRRCJackTopic013 Ah, the other dudes call him Jerry the Punk. That's kind of harsh, though - I think he's just a sensitive soul that needs some love. VMS46VRRCJackTopic013 He's usually down around the proving ground if you want to say yo. VMS46VRRCJackTopic014 What's on your brainpan? VMS46VRRCJackTopic015 Here's a little tink-tink to weight your pockets. VMS46VRRCJackTopic016 Here you go, this'll give you some zing. VMS46VRRCJackTopic017 Right on, right on. You're a pretty hip cat. VMS46VRRCJackTopic017 Right on, right on. You're a pretty hip kitten. VMS47VFSJulieFarkasTopic000 Hmm. Well, I suppose we could always use another junior archivist in the library. All right, tell him we'll accept him as a probationary initiate. VMS47VFSJulieFarkasTopic001 Excellent! Ezekiel's been after me to find him a new assistant for ages. Tell the boy we'll take him. VMS47VFSJulieFarkasTopic002 Ah. Well... I suppose we could always find him a place. Maybe doing inventory on the Pre-War Unexploded Munitions Collection back West. VMS47VFSJulieFarkasTopic002 All right, tell the boy to report here, he can leave on the next caravan. VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic000 Sure, maybe not if you're some hulking reprobate like Regis or baked to the gills like Jack. I've tried five times and still haven't made it. VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic001 [SUCCEEDED] Maybe you're right. Maybe I can find my true calling, someplace they'll appreciate my poetry! Someplace like the Old Mormon Fort, maybe. VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic001 Do you think the Followers of the Apocalypse would take me? I remember all those books they brought us when they visited our tribe. VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic001 [FAILED] I don't know... the Khans don't really get me, but at least they're family, you know? VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic002 Cheat? The only way I could cheat is if I was so doped up on painkillers that I don't feel anything. VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic003 Really? Wow, um... okay. Thanks. VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic004 Whoa... you were serious. Okay, yeah, this might just work. Thanks. VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic005 Okay. VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic006 Oh. You heard that, huh? Okay, so yeah, I was writing poetry. I know, I know, it's not a very Great Khan-like thing to do. VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic006 The Followers of the Apocalypse came to our camp when I was a kid, and they brought a bunch of old books. I used to read pre-War poetry for hours. VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic007 Yeah, well, I guess maybe I'm not. But what else can I do? VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic008 Sure, okay. VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic009 Have you seen this tribe? If it's not an epic drunken ballad of cracking skulls and hearing lamentations they think it's a waste of time. VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic010 You'd do that? Thanks! I mean, I'd go myself, but what if they said no? The Khans wouldn't take me back, and then I'd have nobody. VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic011 I don't know. I mean, I'd go myself, but what if they said no? The Khans wouldn't take me back, and then I'd have nobody. VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic012 You think so? I mean, I'd go myself, but what if they said no? The Khans wouldn't take me back, and then I'd have nobody. VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic013 No, I suppose not. VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic014 Not much. They found us when we came to the Mojave, gave us a bunch of books on science and history - I guess they're like teachers or something? VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic015 You liked it? Wow, you're the first one who ever did! VMS47VRRCJerrythePunkTopic016 {Sullen youth}Psh. Whatever. VMS49ElderDiscussion1 Hello Veronica. How goes your mission? VMS49ElderDiscussion1 We'll know in a second. I wanted to talk to you. VMS49ElderDiscussion1 Veronica, tell me this isn't about- VMS49ElderDiscussion1 Yes, goddamn it, it is. But you're going to hear me out this time. VMS49ElderDiscussion1 We've been through this. VMS49ElderDiscussion1 The things I've seen now. Other groups succeeding where we fail. It's not too late for us. VMS49ElderDiscussion1 We've outlasted the end of the world. We'll outlast these upstarts. VMS49ElderDiscussion1 Waiting in a hole for everyone else to die. VMS49ElderDiscussion1 If we must. VMS49ElderDiscussion1 This is a dead end for us. VMS49ElderDiscussion1 I see no evidence of that. Nor do I see anyone out there with a solution to our problems. VMS49ElderDiscussion1 How could you? You're too scared to look. VMS49ElderDiscussion1 Let's go. We're wasting our time. VMS49ElderDiscussion2Conclusion What does the Codex say? VMS49ElderDiscussion2Conclusion {Losing patience}The Codex is clear on this. It's- VMS49ElderDiscussion2Conclusion A bunch of closed-minded bullshit. VMS49ElderDiscussion2Conclusion We do not help them, or let them in. VMS49ElderDiscussion2Conclusion It says they can't be trusted. VMS49ElderDiscussion2Conclusion But- VMS49ElderDiscussion2Conclusion We keep knowledge they must never have. VMS49ElderDiscussion2Conclusion It says that we are to protect humanity from them at all costs. VMS49ElderDiscussion2Conclusion Give it a chance. For me. I can't stay here and watch us waste away. VMS49ElderDiscussion2Conclusion I'm sorry. VMS49ElderDiscussion2Conclusion I can't. VMS49ElderDiscussion2Conclusion {Softly, a last-ditch argument}We'll die out. VMS49ElderDiscussion2Conclusion {Sadly}
I know.
VMS49ElderDiscussion2Conclusion {Slightly Sad}Then we will accept that fate with honor. VMS49ElderDiscussion2Conclusion Come on. I can't listen to this anymore. VMS49ElderDiscussion2HELIOS We unlocked the secret of HELIOS One. VMS49ElderDiscussion2HELIOS What? Wonderful news! VMS49ElderDiscussion2HELIOS Then we have a game-changing weapon. VMS49ElderDiscussion2HELIOS No. It's not. ARCHIMEDES II is an orbital laser. Effective only outdoors in a limited radius and requiring a long recharge. VMS49ElderDiscussion2HELIOS In the hands of the enemy- VMS49ElderDiscussion2HELIOS It was worth keeping from our enemies. If they had it- VMS49ElderDiscussion2HELIOS They'd be marginally more effective. We lost most of the chapter defending glorified artillery. VMS49ElderDiscussion2HELIOS We couldn't have known. We fought for what we believed in. VMS49ElderDiscussion2HELIOS We did as the Codex dictated. VMS49ElderDiscussion2HELIOS And nearly died for it. Tomorrow you'd do it all over again, having learned nothing. VMS49ElderDiscussion2HELIOS Are you trying to shame me? VMS49ElderDiscussion2HELIOS {Fuming}How dare you insult the honor of the brothers and sisters who died there! VMS49ElderDiscussion2HELIOS I'm trying to open your eyes. VMS49ElderDiscussion2HELIOS We need to engage the outside world. We can't win without new recruits. VMS49ElderDiscussion2Intro Veronica. I hope- VMS49ElderDiscussion2Intro Shouldn't you be securing supplies for us? VMS49ElderDiscussion2Intro I brought you a present. VMS49ElderDiscussion2V22 This disk has secrets to breeding plants that can thrive in the wasteland. VMS49ElderDiscussion2V22 High Elder Maxson didn't found us to be botanists, Veronica. VMS49ElderDiscussion2V22 I'm waiting to hear why this deserves our attention. VMS49ElderDiscussion2V22 Think about it. No more trading guns for food. Total self-sufficiency. It's what we always wanted. VMS49ElderDiscussion2V22 This won't get us Hoover Dam. VMS49ElderDiscussion2V22 This won't defeat our enemies. VMS49ElderDiscussion2V22 {argumentative}Yes it will. If we feed people, they'll support us. They'll join us. VMS49ElderDiscussion2V34 We found a gun that disables power armor. One of these could defeat the whole Brotherhood. VMS49ElderDiscussion2V34 We have to stop limiting our focus to military technology. It won't save us. VMS49ElderDiscussion2V34 That could be the only one of its kind. VMS49ElderDiscussion2V34 Then it's a good thing this weapon has fallen into the right hands. VMS49ElderDiscussion2V34 That's not the point. Technology won't win our wars. We need numbers. New recruits. VMS49HardinDiscussion1 What is it, Veronica? VMS49HardinDiscussion1 Hardin. Er, {Correcting herself}Elder. I know why we're failing. VMS49HardinDiscussion1 {Skeptical}Do you? VMS49HardinDiscussion1 As long as we hide in here, ignoring the outside, our days are numbered. VMS49HardinDiscussion1 For once, I agree. VMS49HardinDiscussion1 {Skeptical}You do? VMS49HardinDiscussion1 We can't let people go on believing the Brotherhood has lost its teeth. VMS49HardinDiscussion1 We must strike while our enemies are distracted with each other. VMS49HardinDiscussion1 {Disbelieving}Strike? That's how we got into this problem in the first place. We can't beat these armies. VMS49HardinDiscussion1 Our entire two hundred years of history say that a handful of troops with the best equipment and training can stand up to any army. VMS49HardinDiscussion1 And the loss of HELIOS One says things are different now. VMS49HardinDiscussion1 {Heated}That was a failure of strategy, not philosophy. If Father El{-ijah}- the Elder in charge were a Paladin and not a Scribe- VMS49HardinDiscussion1 {Finishing someone else's sentence}Our arrogance would still have been our downfall. VMS49HardinDiscussion1 History says otherwise. VMS49HardinDiscussion1 Maybe it's time you start looking forward. VMS49HardinDiscussion1 Let's go. We're wasting our time. VMS49OutpostMassacreReact {Horrified disbelief}Oh no. {Quickly}No, no, no, no, no, no. VMS49VMS49DoctorAlvarezTopic000 Please... leave us alone. VMS49VMS49DoctorAlvarezTopic000 Take care of yourself. VMS49VMS49DoctorAlvarezTopic001 The Brotherhood? Well, this is unusual, I must say. But very welcome. VMS49VMS49DoctorAlvarezTopic001 There's certainly a lot we could learn from your technological expertise. VMS49VMS49DoctorAlvarezTopic001 Doctor Schiller usually handles placement, and he won't be back until tomorrow. If you could come back then, we can see about your assignment. VMS49VMS49DoctorAlvarezTopic002 I'm afraid I'm not that kind of doctor. I'm a research scientist. VMS49VMS49DoctorAlvarezTopic002 You may want to try Old Mormon Fort in Freeside. They should have a doctor on duty. VMS49VMS49DoctorAlvarezTopic003 Possibly, but I'd be the wrong person to ask. You'll need to speak to Dr. Schiller, who's on an errand at one of our other stations. VMS49VMS49DoctorAlvarezTopic003 He should be back tomorrow. VMS49VMS49DoctorAlvarezTopic003 No. VMS49VMS49DoctorAlvarezTopic004 This is just a site for local Followers to pick up assignments and check in. VMS49VMS49DoctorAlvarezTopic004 So most of the time we're just taking care of logistics and coordinating with other checkpoints over the radio. VMS49VMS49DoctorAlvarezTopic005 No. We don't expect him back until tomorrow. VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic000 Leaving? Into exile? Good. Save us the trouble. VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic000 But mark me well. Any hint of treachery or thought of return and we will erase the both of you from existence. VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic001 Respect, nothing. She plans to whisper in his ear. Poison him against the Codex. VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic002 A paladin always has a say where the Codex is concerned. Veronica's aspirations are seditious. VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic002 All of us here are sworn to obey and protect the Codex, even against one of our own. She's gone too far this time. VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic002 No... this has to end now. VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic002 Execute them. VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic003 Hmmph. She'd be doing a greater service by carrying out her duties and not trying to undermine the elder's authority. VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic003 This had better be the last time her loyalty falters. You've been warned. VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic004 You're pathetic. Hide behind words all you like, but your cowardice shows through. VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic005 Their sentimentality prevents them from administering justice. VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic005 Our duty is to the Codex above all, something your companion has forgotten. And that gives us the authority to {emph}make it our place. VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic006 {Fearful}No. No! VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic007 High Elder Maxson didn't just found the Brotherhood. He defined it. To serve in the Brotherhood is to serve his ideals. VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic007 Our way of life is based on them. We know no other path. There {emph}is no other path. VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic007 With her... leanings... Veronica spits in the face of every Knight, Paladin, and Scribe to serve in our ranks. VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic008 That doesn't matter in the slightest. You are an accessory to treason simply by association. VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic008 In the name of the Elder, I hereby sentence you to death. VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic009 She has made her intentions plain. We will not risk any further damage. VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic009 Did you just-? How dare you belch in the face of a Paladin of the Brotherhood of Steel?! VMS49VMS49PaladinLeaderTopic011 {Insulted}No, I don't wear it on{...dates}- Enough. VMS52HeardHanlonSuicide That shot came from the Chief's office! VMS52SawHanlonSuicide Chief! Why did you do it? VMSRSAlphaQuestRSCommRangerAlphaTopic002 {Player in NCR gear}Oh, right. She radioed ahead and mentioned that somebody was coming by. VMSRSAlphaQuestRSCommRangerAlphaTopic002 Oh, right. She radioed ahead and mentioned that somebody was coming by. Odd that she'd send a civilian instead of a trooper, though. VMSRSAlphaQuestRSCommRangerAlphaTopic027 Don't get killed out there. VMSRSAlphaQuestRSRangerAlphaLineholmTopic003 So long. VMSRSAlphaQuestRSRangerAlphaLineholmTopic004 {confused}High casualties?" We've had one broken ankle VMSRSAlphaQuestRSRangerAlphaLineholmTopic005 Any injury, illness, or death gets radioed to Ranger HQ at Camp Golf. VMSRSAlphaQuestRSRangerAlphaLineholmTopic005 Chief Hanlon and his aides compile the reports and assign reinforcements as needed, and they're not needed here. VMSRSAlphaQuestRSRangerAlphaLineholmTopic006 Do a fucking headcount, then. Everybody's right where they're supposed to be. VMSRSAlphaQuestRSRangerAlphaLineholmTopic008 Ranger Station Alpha used to be the frontline outpost for NCR. When we moved onto the Dam, this station has fallen into more a support role. VMSRSAlphaQuestRSRangerAlphaLineholmTopic009 There are other Ranger posts around. Reyes might have mixed up the report. VMSRSAlphaQuestRSRangerAlphaLineholmTopic010 Reyes got the numbers wrong - not much more to it than that. VMSRSBravoQuestRSBravoTildenTopic000 Careful out there. VMSRSBravoQuestRSBravoTildenTopic001 All right. VMSRSBravoQuestRSBravoTildenTopic002 You think I haven't tried? Every time I do, Camp Golf acknowledges the situation. And soon after that, more ammo. VMSRSBravoQuestRSBravoTildenTopic003 We're not going to die of thirst any time soon, but I'd rather have too much than not enough. VMSRSBravoQuestRSBravoTildenTopic004 Eh, it's not my call to make. You'd have to clear it with Ranger Ericsen. VMSRSBravoQuestRSCommRangerBravoTopic000 No problem. Hey, do me a favor when you get back to Reyes and tell her that we don't need any more damn ammo. Wouldn't mind more water, though. VMSRSBravoQuestRSCommRangerBravoTopic001 This is the frontier of NCR territory, and we're the first line of defense. You won't find much in the way of civilization east of here. VMSRSBravoQuestRSCommRangerBravoTopic001 South of here is Camp Guardian, but they've been having radio trouble so they've been silent for awhile now. VMSRSBravoQuestRSRangerBravoEricsenTopic000 We're here to make sure the Legion doesn't try to sneak around Lake Mead and come at NCR from another direction. VMSRSBravoQuestRSRangerBravoEricsenTopic002 Yep. VMSRSBravoQuestRSRangerBravoEricsenTopic006 {NCR - Rascal+}You're not stationed here, but your rep with the NCR speaks for itself. It's mostly rifle rounds, but I'll throw in a few boxes of pistol ammo. VMSRSBravoQuestRSRangerBravoEricsenTopic006 I really shouldn't be doing this for you, but there's no way we're going to use all of this or be able to carry it with us. VMSRSBravoQuestRSRangerBravoEricsenTopic006 {NCR Reputation < 3}Sorry, it's against regulation for me to give away NCR supplies to anyone not stationed at this post. Wouldn't want you using it against us. VMSRSCharlieQuestTopic001 All quiet at the moment. Ranger {BOH-mont}Beaumont is in charge here, but he's off leading a patrol. VMSRSCharlieQuestTopic001 It was quiet until those rockets blasted off over our heads. VMSRSCharlieQuestTopic001 There was a hell of a boom over at REPCONN. Looks like the ghouls had some sort of accident with their rockets. VMSRSDeltaQuestRSRangerDeltaPasonTopic007 No, I didn't. You might hear that kind of nonsense from a drunk trooper on the Strip, but not from me. The Legion doesn't have Super Mutants. VMSRSDeltaQuestRSRangerDeltaPasonTopic007 That patrol was wiped out by its own incompetence - a couple of the troopers were fooling around with a grenade when it went off. VMSRSDeltaQuestRSRangerDeltaPasonTopic009 Keeping watch on the river and looking for anyone trying to cross it. The Legion likes to send infiltration teams over on rafts. VMSRSEchoQuestRSCommRangerEchoTopic001 Ranger military outpost. We're keeping an eye on the Legion activities south of here at Cottonwood Cove. VMSRSEchoQuestRSCommRangerEchoTopic001 Nothing going on down there at the moment - just the usual slave trafficking. Poor bastards. VMSRSEchoQuestRSRangerEchoErasmusTopic000 The Legion's got a major crossing point down at Cottonwood Cove, so we keep an eye on them from up here. VMSRSEchoQuestRSRangerEchoErasmusTopic000 If McCarran would send us some more men, we could do more than watch. VMSRSFoxtrotQuestTopic001 I operate the radio and call it in if we see any Great Khans moving out in large groups from Red Rock Canyon. VMSRSFoxtrotQuestTopic005 Keeping watch on the Great Khans mostly. They usually stick around Red Rock Canyon, but at least one large group left recently. VMSRSFoxtrotQuestTopic005 We called it in, but haven't heard anything about any Great Khan incidents. Whatever they're doing, they're keeping a low profile. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownCHFSergeantReyesTopic000 Nothing as severe. Charlie seems to be getting a lot of extra medical supplies for some reason, while Bravo hasn't requested a resupply in awhile. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownCHFSergeantReyesTopic000 Echo has been reporting heavy Legion activity down on their end, but that's about it. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownCHFSergeantReyesTopic001 I handle communications for Camp Forlorn Hope, compiling reports I've received from the Rangers at Camp Golf as well as the brass at McCarran. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownCHFSergeantReyesTopic001 {annoyed and underappreciated}Unofficially, I'm also in charge of radio security. No one else seems to take it as seriously as I do. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownCHFSergeantReyesTopic002 {disappointed}Oh. Well, thanks for helping get to the bottom of this, I guess. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic000 Bye. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic009 The security codes are unique to the radios at each Ranger station. They're useless anywhere else. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic013 The Chief? But, he's a legend! I guess if he's got a plan behind it all, who am I to question it? I won't say a word about it to anyone else. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic015 This holotape contains the updated security codes for the Ranger Stations. Show it to the comm officers there. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic015 Once the new codes are in use, anyone still using the old codes will just hear static if they're listening in on our frequencies. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic063 Glad to hear it! I'll switch over all radio broadcasts to the new encrypted channels - this ought to help us stay a step ahead of any spies. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic063 Before you go, I've got another job available. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic064 The station's been silent for quite some time now... I guess this confirms what we've all feared. Thanks for letting me know. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic064 I'll switch over all radio broadcasts to the new encrypted channels - this ought to help us stay a step ahead of any spies. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic064 Before you go, I've got another job available. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic065 We've received some disturbing reports from some of the Ranger stations - heavy casualties at Alpha, {disbelief}Super Mutant Legionaries at Delta. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic065 The weirdest one has to be the Great Khans and their trained Deathclaws at Foxtrot. These reports can't be accurate. {less certain}Can they? VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic065 I know you've already been out there, but could you do me a solid and confirm these reports with the Rangers who sent them in? VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic066 What? Chief Hanlon. The man's a war hero? Why would he...? That just doesn't make sense. This is awful... VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic067 I knew it. I'm glad you and the Chief were able to put a stop to this. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic071 Thank you, and good luck. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic101 Wait... what? Why would he do that? VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic102 Whatever the Chief had in mind, I'm sure it was the right thing to do - even if it did end up scaring a lot of people in the process. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic103 The Chief should've known that the NCR is too stubborn to back down from anything, even when it's for the best. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic103 While I'm glad it wasn't an enemy who was spreading lies and killing morale, I'm disappointed that a legend like the Chief felt he had to do it. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic106 All right, then. Come and talk to me when you do. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic107 {Hanlon alive}I knew it. Every one of the false reports was signed off by Chief Hanlon at Camp Golf, but why would the Chief manipulate the reports? VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic107 I need you to take everything we've found to Chief Hanlon and confront him with it. I don't want to make this public unless we have to. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic107 {Hanlon dead}I knew it. I suspected that Chief Hanlon was behind all this, but since he's dead, there's no way we'll ever know. VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdownRSSergeantReyesTopic107 Thanks for all your help. VMSTopsTalentPoolVFSJamesGarretTopic000 Now, you see, you should have opened with that. I'll sell you his contract, but it will cost you. VMSTopsTalentPoolVFSJamesGarretTopic001 [SUCCEEDED] I suppose you've got a point. Plenty of Brahmin on the prairie, and all that. Fine, I'll cut him loose. He's all yours. VMSTopsTalentPoolVFSJamesGarretTopic001 [FAILED] That's the stupidest argument I've ever heard. I'm not letting my star performer go without some guarantee of new incomes. VMSTopsTalentPoolVFSJamesGarretTopic002 [SUCCEEDED] I admit that thought had crossed my mind. Maybe you're right - maybe I'd do better with a human act. He's all yours. VMSTopsTalentPoolVFSJamesGarretTopic002 [FAILED] That may be the case, but I can't risk that kind of cash-flow. You'll have to do better than that. VMSTopsTalentPoolVFSJamesGarretTopic003 Ah. I suppose that's a very... compelling negotiating stance. Fine. The contract is yours. I hope you choke on it. VMSTopsTalentPoolVFSJamesGarretTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] Well, I see there's no fooling you in a horse trade. Fine - you've got a deal. VMSTopsTalentPoolVFSJamesGarretTopic004 [FAILED] No, no I don't think you will. The deal is final. VMSTopsTalentPoolVFSJamesGarretTopic005 You have been a useful associate, that I'll grant you. Okay, he's yours for a discount. Just make sure the stage is downwind of the audience. VMSTopsTalentPoolVFSJamesGarretTopic006 Pleasure doing business with you. VMSTopsTalentPoolVFSJamesGarretTopic007 Take your time - the ghoul's not going anywhere. VMSTopsTalentPoolVFSJamesGarretTopic008 Pleasure doing business with you. VMSTopsTalentPoolVFSJamesGarretTopic009 Take your time - the ghoul's not going anywhere. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBillyKnightTopic000 Jeez, some people.... VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBillyKnightTopic001 All right, but make it snappy, this isn't exactly a lucrative career enterprise here. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBillyKnightTopic002 That's exactly my point, kid. Exactly my point. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBillyKnightTopic003 Woof! If you're not the most sarcastic fella I ever met, your standards are so low they could use you at the Annual Gomorrah Saucy Limbo Competition. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBillyKnightTopic003 As the bar! VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBillyKnightTopic003 Woof! If you're not the most sarcastic dame I ever met, your standards are so low they could use you at the Annual Gomorrah Saucy Limbo Competition. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBillyKnightTopic003 As the bar! VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBillyKnightTopic004 A break's better than a shot - less chance of lead poisoning. Hey, if you know any gigs hiring, I'll work cheap. Real cheap. I'll take peanuts! VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBillyKnightTopic005 Hey, now, come on! I prefer the term outdoor entertainment bonanza." Besides VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBillyKnightTopic006 [SUCCEEDED] Whoa, geez, what was I thinking? You're right, I oughta go in there with a cool head, tell him how much I'm really worth. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBillyKnightTopic006 [FAILED] Look, I appreciate the vote of confidence, but you don't know what it's like. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBillyKnightTopic006 They offer me a roof over my head and half a Fancy Lad and I'll fold like a classy napkin. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBillyKnightTopic007 Sweet daisies, here I come! VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBillyKnightTopic009 Hey, okay, but don't take too long, I don't want to miss this! VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBruceIsaacTopic000 Sorry, it's just... you look like his type, y'know? You got that hard-ass wasteland explorer thing going on. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBruceIsaacTopic001 Please, no! VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBruceIsaacTopic005 Oh, so you have heard of me. Yeah, that's right. I was the big draw at the Shark Club, people used to pay hundreds of caps to see me. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBruceIsaacTopic006 Robbed" is such an ugly word. It's more like I took care of a payroll problem for him." VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBruceIsaacTopic006 Also, I might have... umm... sort of... plowed his daughter. A little. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBruceIsaacTopic007 I figured it might take him a while to understand his accounting error and cool down a little. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBruceIsaacTopic007 Also, I might have... umm... sort of... plowed his daughter. A little. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBruceIsaacTopic008 Sure. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBruceIsaacTopic009 Thanks, but if Bishop finds me and I don't have his money, {emphasis}my balls are going to be on his trophy wall. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBruceIsaacTopic010 I guess I don't. That's why I'm here. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBruceIsaacTopic011 Thanks. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsBruceIsaacTopic012 You'd do that? Great! I really appreciate that! VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsHadrianTopic000 What, you mean you're not part of the act? Heh. Sorry. Thought you were the heckler Garret hired to spice up the shows. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsHadrianTopic001 Whoa Nelly! There's insult comedy and then there's psycho comedy! I guess you aren't the heckler Garret hired to spice up my show. What do you want? VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsHadrianTopic002 Come on, stay in character! You're supposed to be heckling me! VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsHadrianTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] Hey, not bad! Your timing's terrible and you got no style, but you might make it as a professional heckler. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsHadrianTopic004 [FAILED] That doesn't even make any sense! You're not the heckler Garret hired to spice up the show, are you? VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsHadrianTopic005 So, what do you want, then? VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsHadrianTopic006 Yeah, no, we were hoping to find someone who was actually... what's the word... funny? What do you want, kid? VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsHadrianTopic009 I'm not suirprised, he's a stubborn, greedy bastard. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsHadrianTopic011 Okay, I admit it, I ain't exactly rolling in caps here, but whaddya want? I'm under contract, I can't get out. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsHadrianTopic011 {pained wince}Eesh... say, you wouldn't happen to have been my manager in a past life, would you? You've got all his money-smarts. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsHadrianTopic014 Heh, good luck. Garret's a tough, mean sonofabitch, he's not likely to give up. Let me know if you make any headway. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsHadrianTopic015 Ain't my mind needs changing, kid, it's Garret's. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic000 {Skeptical}Uh-huh. Sorry stranger, just not sure I trust that kind of charity from somebody I don't even know. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic001 Well, at least you're honest, I guess. Sorry, I just don't take charity from strangers. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic002 Much obliged to you, friend. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] I suppose it's only right you get a little something for your troubles. Here - my daddy left me this gun. Guess I don't need it no more. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic003 [FAILED] I'm sure Mr. Torini already took care of your fee. Maybe you ought to talk to him. Much obliged for the opportunity, friend. See you around. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic004 No apologies needed, friend - I'm sure there's somebody out there'll appreciate my singing. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic005 Just about my whole life, ever since my daddy left ma and me and went off to roam the wastes. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic006 Long time ago, now. I never even knew him. Ma always said he was a mysterious feller, always traveling on in secret. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic007 Looking for a story, huh? All right, what can I tell you? VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic008 Well, I was born in a little town out Montana way. Me and Ma didn't have much, ever since my pa up and left. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic009 Anything else you'd like to know? VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic010 That he did. Never did know why. Ma always said he was a real mysterious feller, even when he was with her. Like he was a stranger sometimes. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic011 Maybe that's how you was raised, but where I come from a man does right by his wife and child or he ain't no kinda man at all. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic012 No sir, I'm 28. Why? VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic015 Maybe. Maybe I just never felt like I belonged back home. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic016 Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, but that don't change the fact that it wasn't right. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic018 It sure wasn't easy. Ma worked her fingers to the bone to make sure we had enough to survive, and I worked the coal mines from when I was fifteen. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic018 After Ma died, I guess I wanted to find my Pa and get some answers from him. Been out here looking ever since, but he ain't an easy man to find. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic019 I suppose there's that, but a man oughta know his own Pa, and a woman oughtn't have to work herself to an early grave to provide for her family. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic019 After Ma died, I guess I wanted to find my Pa and get some answers from him. Been out here looking ever since, but he ain't an easy man to find. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic020 Can't say as I really know. Maybe I'll just ask him why. Maybe I'll punch him right in the mouth. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic020 Hell, the more I talk about it, the more the whole damn thing sounds like a dumb idea. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic021 Maybe I will. Or maybe I'll just ask him why he left. Hell, the more I talk about it, the more the whole damn thing sounds like a dumb idea. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic022 Maybe I should. Don't suppose you know anyplace a feller with a {GEE-tar}guitar might find a job, huh? VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsLonesomeDrifterTopic024 Ah well. It was worth a shot. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic000 Ring-a-ding! My card. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic001 All right, well, if you change your mind, just let me know. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic002 [SUCCEEDED] All right, you drive a hard bargain, baby. Tell you what, I'll bump him up to 3,000. That's fair. Here's your cut. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic002 [FAILED] Baby, you have got to be joking! Now take your cut and stop being crazy. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic003 [SUCCEEDED] Well, now, you didn't hear this from Tommy, but Benny likes to go off on a bender now and then. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic003 Usually he's only gone a couple days, but this last time nobody saw him for almost a month! VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic003 Ask me, I think he's got a dame from Gomorrah holed up in his suite, because nobody ever saw him leave it. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic003 [FAILED] Oh, uh, it ain't even a thing. Forget I even said it. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic004 Sure thing, baby. What can Tommy do for you? VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic005 It's cool, baby. Tommy's a forgiving fella. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic006 Well, acts are a little bit thin on the ground right now, but every night from eight to midnight, we got the Rad Pack Revue! VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic006 Songs, dancing, jokes, we got it all! VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic007 Glad to hear it, baby! My card - pass it on if you see any good acts out there. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic008 You know it, baby! VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic009 [SUCCEEDED] Ooh, a sharp customer! All right, all right, 5% it is. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic009 [FAILED] I'm guessing you don't really know how this business works, kid. My offer is very generous already. Think about it. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic010 Any day, baby, any day. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic011 [SUCCEEDED] All right, you drive a hard bargain, baby. Tell you what, I'll bump him up to 3,000. That's fair. Here's your cut. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic011 [FAILED] Baby, you have got to be joking! Now take your cut and stop being crazy. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic012 Any day, baby, any day. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic013 [SUCCEEDED] All right, you drive a hard bargain, baby. Tell you what, I'll bump him up to 3,000. That's fair. Here's the difference for your cut. VMSTopsTalentPoolVMSTopsTommyToriniTopic013 [FAILED] Baby, you have got to be joking! VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic003 Maybe. I'd like to know who I'm dealing with, first. VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic004 What's on your mind? VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic005 Hell, what ain't the trouble with the Legion? This time, they jumped the camp in Nelson while the troopers were setting up VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic005 Captured a bunch of gear and took the town. Couple of troopers too. Got 'em crucified down near the center of town. VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic005 {carefully}You're one of them special" folks VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic005 I just called 'em snakes because they're low down and sneaky. {beat}Like a snake.{sigh} VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic005 Anyway, we always have trouble with the Legion 'round here. This time, they jumped the camp in Nelson while the troopers were setting up. VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic005 Captured a bunch of gear and took the town. Couple of troopers too. Got 'em crucified down near the center of town. VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic024 Dirty job, but I'm glad you did it. I'm not authorized to reward contract pay, but here's a little something for you. VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic024 And I'll let everyone know you did the right thing. Some people might not like it, but no one who matters. At least not as far as I'm concerned. VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic025 I have to admit, I didn't think you could do it. Guess that makes me the sap and you the hero. VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic025 I'm not authorized to pay for contract work, but here's something for the effort. And I'll make sure everyone hears about what you did. Thanks. VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic026 Then head back down into that camp and deal with the hostages. VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic030 Bye. VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic031 Hey, hold on. Just so you know, if you go down into that camp, one of two things is gonna happen. VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic031 Either that little head of yours is gonna sail into the Colorado courtesy of a Legion machete or they're gonna try to make friends with you. VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic031 And if I find out you're friends with the Legion, I'll put a lump of lead through your skull soon as you pop it back up over the ridge. Are we clear? VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic000 Oh, heck, I've heard of you. Supposed to be a regular hero or something, ain't that right? VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic000 {ribbing the player a bit}But maybe you're a little too... reputable" to get involved in some dirty work for the Republic." VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic000 I've heard of you. You're just the kind of person I'm looking for. Not afraid of stepping on a few toes to get a job done. Think you can lend a hand? VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic000 Is that so? Can't say I've ever heard a good word about you. Lot of bad ones, though. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic000 So why don't you just turn your butt around and scoot back down the road before I blast some daylight through you? VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic000 My apologies, but that name and face ain't ringing the old school bell upstairs. Afraid I can't let you through until the situation" is resolved." VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic001 I'm a ranger. They're troopers. Different branches. I don't have authority over them even though they're as green as a Super Mutant's backside. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic001 {irritated}Besides, they'd probably start crying as soon as they saw the hostages get so much as a bruise. Nope, they don't got the stomach for it. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic003 Much obliged. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic004 {suddenly scared}Son of a bitch! VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic005 We'll see about that. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic006 {sarcastic}If you had a few dozen doses of Psycho on you, maybe we could pep these weepy troopers into charging down into Nelson and taking back the camp. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic006 But since that's not likely, you could help me take out the Legion's trooper hostages. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic007 The troopers won't go down into the camp with their comrades at risk. Dirty game the Legion likes to roll out whenever they get a chance. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic007 Problem is, Ranger {my-low}Milo doesn't want to play. If we take out the hostages, they've got squat for leverage. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic009 All right, I have to admit I wasn't expecting you to say that. I was just joking. But if it makes you feel any better, I am impressed. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic009 {change subjects quicky}So anyway, how about those hostages? VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic010 Good. We clear out the hostages and they lose their advantage. They're down in a clearing, crucified on some telephone poles. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic010 I'll cover you from the ridge. Just make it quick. These boys should be put out of their misery, not plinked to death with some old varmint rifle. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic010 And don't get any dreamy notions about playing the hero and dragging those boys out. You'll get swarmed. Now let's go. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic013 Back at {sarcastic}Ranger School" VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic013 {Get real."}You want to go down there and try to haul those crippled boys off those poles VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic014 {laughing a bit}Dishonorable" VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic014 I wouldn't want you to get any dirt under your fingernails or tarnish your good name or whatever the heck you're so worried about. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic014 If you want to do some good, head up to Camp Forlorn Hope. I'll mark it on your map for you. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic015 [SUCCEEDED] {surprised at the player's spunk}Well, I'll be damned. Looks like you've got some dirt in you after all. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic016 [FAILED] Right. You have trouble even saying the word bad". Go on VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic016 If you want to do some good, head up to Camp Forlorn Hope. I'll mark it on your map for you. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic017 [SUCCEEDED] Well, I suppose I don't care much, either. At least not enough to turn down an offer for help. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic018 Well, now that you've sweet-talked me... VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic018 [FAILED] Naw, why don't you just get out of here? VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic020 [SUCCEEDED] Fair enough. It's not like any of the troopers around here are jumping up to volunteer. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic021 [FAILED] That's one of the least trustworthy lines I've ever heard. Sorry. No can do. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic021 If you want to do some good, head up to Camp Forlorn Hope. I'll mark it on your map for you. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic023 That's a shame. Well, let me know if you change your mind or those Legion sons of bitches will be holed up in Nelson for weeks. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic024 Troopers tried moving down from Forlorn Hope because we got this big gap between there and Searchlight. Turns out we were spread too thin. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic024 We took our sweet ass time setting up in Nelson and the Legion managed to hop over the Colorado and attack before things were settled. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic025 There's Novac, due west. Just look for the big lizard. They got some decent supplies and a place to stay. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic025 The 188's north on the 95, good for all kinds of trade. Not much south on 95 unless you turn west on 164 to Nipton, right off the rail line. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic026 Nope. I'm just the only ranger around. The rest of the kids here are troopers, inexperienced, out-numbered and under-equipped. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic028 I sent you packing last time for a reason. Why should I let you in now? VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic029 Good. We clear out the hostages and they lose their advantage. They're down in a clearing, crucified on some telephone poles. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic029 I'll cover you from the ridge. Just make it quick. These boys should be put out of their misery, not plinked to death with some old varmint rifle. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic029 And don't get any dreamy notions about playing the hero and dragging those boys out. You'll get swarmed. Now let's go. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic030 [SUCCEEDED] Good point. Anyway, it's your hide. Guess I should take all the help I can get. VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic031 [FAILED] Nice speech. Take a hike. vNiptonSurvivorBarks {exulting}Hey, Nipton! Eat me! vNiptonSurvivorBarks {exulting}Who's the winner? Oliver Swanick, that's who! Yeah! vNiptonSurvivorBarks {exulting}I won the fucking lottery, hear me! So fuck y'all! Whoohoo! vNiptonSurvivorBarks {exulting}Ain't gonna see me up on a cross or my head on no pole, uh uh!

VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic001 {calling to arms, frightened}Legionaries - we have a problem! VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic002 I am {GAB-en}Gabban, of {KAI-zar's}Caesar's Legion. I serve my master as the one of his {froo-men-TAR-ee}Frumentarii. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic002 We Frumentarii are soldiers of a different stripe, capable in battle, but skilled as infiltrators and agents as well. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic003 Then I bid you {WAH-lay}Vale" - until we meet again." VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic004 Where to begin? That they are weak, and we are strong? This much was known already. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic004 But the depths of their moral sickness, their {a beat}dissolution? Nipton serves as the perfect object lesson. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic004 Where to begin? That you are weak, and we are strong? This much was known already. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic004 But the depths of your moral sickness, your {a beat}dissolution? Nipton serves as the perfect object lesson. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic005 The Legion is civilization reborn. Our culture is based on virtues such as martial excellence, loyalty, and justice. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic005 But you'll learn all there is to know in due time. {Le-GAH-tus La-nee-OOS}Legatus Lanius, Monster of the East, will soon arrive to command {KAI-zar's}Caesar's troops in battle. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic005 The Dam will fall, and the rest of the Profligate west will soon follow. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic006 {carefree}As are all crimes. If you feel strongly about it, attack us, and soon you won't feel a thing. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic006 So you've said. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic007 Where to begin? That you are weak, and we are strong? This much was known already. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic007 But the depths of your moral sickness, your {a beat}dissolution? Nipton serves as the perfect object lesson. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic007 Where to begin? That they are weak, and we are strong? This much was known already. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic007 But the depths of their moral sickness, their {a beat}dissolution? Nipton serves as the perfect object lesson. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic008 The Legion is civilization reborn. Our culture is based on virtues such as martial excellence, loyalty, and justice. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic008 But you'll learn all there is to know in due time. {Le-GAH-tus La-nee-OOS}Legatus Lanius, Monster of the East, will soon arrive to command {KAI-zar's}Caesar's troops in battle. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic008 The Dam will fall, and the rest of the Profligate west will soon follow. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic009 You bear the Mark of {KAI-zar}Caesar. That makes you special. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic009 Do whatever {KAI-zar}Caesar tells you to do. And whenever the opportunity presents, strike at the Profligates. Pile body upon body. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic009 Tell everyone you meet of what you saw here. The Legion can handle the rest. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic009 That said, if you were to strike at the Profligates, butcher them, trouble their operations... this will not go unnoticed. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic010 {scoffing guffaw}Indeed, our hounds demonstrate greater loyalty to each other every day than the wretched inhabitants of this town. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic011 So you've said. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic012 {calling to arms, frightened}Legionaries?! We have a problem! VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic013 Nipton was a wicked place, debased and corrupt. It served all comers, so long as they paid. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic013 Profligate troops, Powder Gangers, men of the Legion such as myself - the people here didn't care. It was a town of whores. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic013 For a pittance, the town agreed to lead those it had sheltered into a trap. Only when I sprang it did they realize they were caught inside it, too. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic014 Yes, and herded them to the center of town. I told them their sins, the foremost being disloyalty. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic014 I told them that when Legionaries are disloyal, some are punished, the others made to watch. And I announced the lottery.

VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic018 {curious}Why, then, do you keep asking? VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic019 Nipton was a wicked place, debased and corrupt. It served all comers, so long as they paid. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic019 Profligate troops, Powder Gangers - or men of the Legion. The people here didn't care. It was a town of whores. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic019 For a pittance, the great {WUHL-pace in-CUHL-tah}Vulpes Inculta {in-VAY-gulled}inveigled this town to lead those it had sheltered into a trap. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic019 Only when it was sprung did they realize they were caught inside it, too. {beat, regret}I only wish {WUHL-pace}Vulpes had lived to see the scheme come to fruition.

VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic020 {KAI-zar}Caesar prides himself on selecting the right tool to overcome each new obstacle. In Lanius, he found his hammer. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic020 He's never been defeated in battle. 14 tribes have laid down arms at his boots. Another five, rendered extinct. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic020 His latest campaign in the wilds of the Utah has concluded, and he is en route. When he arrives, your doom arrives with him. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic021 What can be said? He's a man of towering intellect, the founder of the Legion, conquerer of 86 tribes. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic021 {KAI-zar}Caesar is the salvation of mankind, his Legion the rebirth of civilization in a benighted age. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic021 Don't worry, you'll know him well when you serve him. Or you'll be dead. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic022 I am {WUHL-pace In-CUL-tah}Vulpes Inculta, of {KAI-zar's}Caesar's Legion. I serve my master as the greatest of his {froo-men-TAR-ee}Frumentarii.

VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic024 Yes, and herded them to the center of town. I told them their sins, the foremost being disloyalty. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic024 I told them that when Legionaries are disloyal, some are punished, the others made to watch. And I announced the lottery.

VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic030 Tell everyone you meet of what you saw here. The Legion can handle the rest. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic030 That said, if you were to strike at the Profligates, butcher them, trouble their operations... this will not go unnoticed. VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic031 {scoffing guffaw}Indeed, our hounds demonstrate greater loyalty to each other every day than the wretched inhabitants of this town.

VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic001 {disgusted}You're looking at the second place winner of the Nipton lottery! That asshole {Swah-nik}Swanick took first place, so him they let walk! VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic002 {sarcastic}I dunno, I just love it here. {angry}What the fuck do you think, asshole? VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic002 {angry}Prize for second place was I got to live, but they beat my fucking legs with hammers. I'm fucking crippled, get it? VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic003 {surly}It ain't like we came to Nipton to play it! Me and my crew had it worked out to kidnap some NCR troopers who come to town to get laid. VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic003 {bitter}Had it all worked out with the scumbag mayor. We were gonna ransom them off, keep their weapons for ourselves, a nice score. VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic005 I saw some Legion assholes carrying crates to a cave north of here. May have been NCR shit, I don't fucking know. VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic008 {surly, sarcastic}You know what I'd be real excited about? If you'd showed up and saved me before they smashed my legs. VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic008 {surly, sarcastic}Now why don't you fuck off and let me sleep, hero? That'd be real exciting, too. VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic009 {lightening up}Him?

VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic010 {remembering it}They dragged us and everybody else into the center of town. And that asshole with a dog on his head, he starts talking about how we're bad people! VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic010 {hating the memory}He said we needed to be punished for what we did, not all of us, but some of us. And then he gives everyone a fucking lottery ticket... VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic011 {surly}Like what? VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic012 {hating the memory}What do you think? He started drawing tickets, and that's how people got punished. VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic012 {hating the memory}First up was the lucky losers." They got decapitated - guess that's "lucky" {cuz}because it's pretty quick." VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic012 {hating the memory}Then came the crucifixions. Goddamn but those went on and on and on... VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic012 {hating the memory}Third-place runners-up got enslaved. I got the fuck beat out of my legs, and the winner they let go free. VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic013 {surly}Yeah, a bunch of those Legion fucks dragged them off right away. They was headed East, if you're feeling heroic. VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic014 {surly}Don't act like you'd be doing me a favor. I don't give a fuck. VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic015 {irritated but agreeing}That's how I figure it.

VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic020 Big fucking deal. Hand it over. VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic021 {appeased}Good enough. Hand it over. VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic022 {appeased}Three doses? That's almost enough for a party. VNiptonvNiptonBoxcars2Topic023 {appeased}Five doses? {Niiiiice}Nice. A fella could put himself out of his misery with five doses.

VNiptonvNiptonSurvivorTopic004 {bewildered}There was some kind of message, but... I don't seem to remember it. VNiptonvNiptonSurvivorTopic004 {Jubilant again}Yeah... that air!

Represents unification. {Beat, a little defeated}Mostly good for shade. Won't do much else when the Legion reaches us. vNiptonVulpesvMOSgtKilbornTopic002 Nothing I know of, {studies the player}but if you've come from the North, means you can travel freer than most around here. vNiptonVulpesvMOSgtKilbornTopic002 Might check the Barracks, someone might need you to hoof it somewhere. Just be careful if you go up on the roof - got a sniper watching the road. vNiptonVulpesvMOSgtKilbornTopic002 If you're gear's in need of repair, HQ's also worth checking out - talk to Major Knight, he can help. {Beat, to himself}Provided you got a pen and plenty of ink. vNiptonVulpesvMOSgtKilbornTopic003 Watch yourself. vQuestEdeGone This is excellent news.

VTechatticupNVTechatticupNCRRenoldsTopic000 My squad was ambushed by a Legion party lead by that bastard Alexus. VTechatticupNVTechatticupNCRRenoldsTopic000 He was taking us into the mine up ahead, but I managed to get away. I need help to get them out. VTechatticupNVTechatticupNCRRenoldsTopic001 If you want to be that way I'll leave you alone. VTechatticupNVTechatticupNCRRenoldsTopic002 That's already more than I was expecting. I'll keep watch to make sure no more Legion come up the road. Good Luck. VTechatticupNVTechatticupNCRRenoldsTopic003 There's a slim chance. But if the Legion wanted us dead, our heads would already be on pikes. VTechatticupNVTechatticupNCRRenoldsTopic004 [SUCCEEDED] I understand. Here's what I have on me. Now go before it's too late. VTechatticupNVTechatticupNCRRenoldsTopic004 [FAILED] This is an emergency. How can you be asking for payment? VTechatticupNVTechatticupNCRRenoldsTopic006 There's no way I can take on the Legion by myself. I'll be here if you change your mind. VTechatticupNVTechatticupNCRRenoldsTopic008 Really? I can't thank you enough. I'll wait here and watch the road. Good luck in there. VTechatticupNVTechatticupNCRRenoldsTopic009 They must have run straight back to camp. I bet they didn't even stop and say thanks. VTechatticupNVTechatticupNCRRenoldsTopic009 The NCR could use someone like you. Stop by our camps if you're looking for work. VTechatticupNVTechatticupNCRRenoldsTopic010 Can you hurry? I know those Legion bastards are tough but my friends won't last long with all the radiation in there. VTechatticupNVTechatticupNCRRenoldsTopic012 Were? What do you mean were? VTechatticupNVTechatticupNCRRenoldsTopic013 Legion bastards. They'll pay for that. VTechatticupNVTechatticupNCRRenoldsTopic014 I was worried Alexus had already thrown them down a mineshaft. I'll run by camp and see how they're doing when I get a chance.

Thermite burns as hot as the devil's asshole and can melt through just about anything. vTroikeGunsThermite I've been keeping it so if the Family betrays me I can hopefully do some damage before I end up dead or in jail. vTroikeGunsThermite Okay, I know the stuff inside and out. What do you want to know? VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 1: She can't do this. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 2: It's done. We're done. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 1: Nothing's done. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 2: She's got the authority. The only thing she can't do is change her own fate. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Nothing says she can't change the selection process for future overseers. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 1: I say she can't. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 2: You shouldn't have toyed with her like that, Roy. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 1: We still have the majority. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 2: We don't vote for anything anymore. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 1: I'm not talking about voting. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 2: What, then? You want to have a sit-in? A hunger strike? VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 1: Not exactly. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 2: Maybe march into her office with torches and pitchforks? VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 1: Yes. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 2: Come on. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 1: I mean it. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 2: What, start a revolution? VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 1: Laws don't outlast their governments. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 2: Roy, all we have to do is wait until someone from Justice Bloc gets picked for overseer. Then we have them change the law back. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 1: There won't be any blocs after the new overseer is picked tomorrow. Everyone's going to move on. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc By the time we've reformed, who knows if we'll still be in the majority. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 2: We can hold the bloc together. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 1: You don't know that. Besides, what if the computer picks you? What if it picks me? VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 2: And your solution is to start shooting? VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 1: Not if we don't have to. Look, we arm up. We go to the lower floors, take some strategic targets. Power, food, water. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Just until she turns authority over to us. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 2: The other blocs won't support it. They're tired of us having the power. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 1: We have the majority. We don't need them. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 2: This isn't a vote, Roy. They'll fight back. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 1: They've never had the nerve. VVault11AudioLogJusticeBloc Voice 2: Hell of a way to test it. VVault11AudioLogSolution All right, I know you can hear me, so listen up. There's five of us left. Five. Out of... I don't know how many. VVault11AudioLogSolution So... it's over. We've talked and it's over. We're not going to send anybody to die anymore. VVault11AudioLogSolution So shut off our water or gas us or do whatever it is you're programmed to do. But we're done listening to you. VVault11AudioLogSolutionResponse Congratulations, citizens of Vault 11! You have made the decision not to sacrifice one of your own. VVault11AudioLogSolutionResponse You can walk with your head held high knowing that your commitment to human life is a shining example to us all. VVault11AudioLogSolutionResponse And to make that feeling of pride even sweeter, I have some exciting news. VVault11AudioLogSolutionResponse Despite what you were led to believe, the population of Vault 11 is not going to be exterminated for its disobedience. VVault11AudioLogSolutionResponse Instead, the mechanism to open the main vault door has now been enabled, and you can come and go at your leisure. VVault11AudioLogSolutionResponse But not so fast! Be sure to check with your overseer to find out if it's safe to leave. Here at Vault-Tec, your safety is our number one priority. VVault11AudioLogSurvivors Voice 1: Are we really gonna do this? It's open. We could just leave. VVault11AudioLogSurvivors Voice 2: I couldn't. Not after that. VVault11AudioLogSurvivors Voice 3: We don't deserve to leave. VVault11AudioLogSurvivors Voice 4: A shining example." That's what it called us." VVault11AudioLogSurvivors Voice 1: But we were! We did what we were supposed to. VVault11AudioLogSurvivors Voice 5: Not by a long shot. VVault11AudioLogSurvivors Voice 1: Anybody would've done what we did. VVault11AudioLogSurvivors Voice 2: You ask me, that's exactly the problem. Now let's get on with this. VVault11AudioLogSurvivors Voice 3: I'll go first. VVault11AudioLogSurvivors Voice 1: Wait. Wait. People should know what happened. They could learn from it. VVault11AudioLogSurvivors Voice 5: If there's anyone out there at all, I hope they never have to find out. Ready, Harry? VVault11AudioLogSurvivors Voice 3: Yeah. VVault11AudioLogSurvivors Voice 1: No no no, wait! VVault11AudioLogSurvivors

VVault11ChairInvite01 Welcome. Please sit in the chair. The show is about to begin. VVault11ChairInvite02 The show requires that you sit in the chair. VVault11ChairInvite03 It is absolutely essential that you sit in the chair. VVault11ChairInvite04 You have no other choice. You must sit in the chair. VVault11ExterminationChamber01 Congratulations, martyr! Your fantastic journey is only just beginning. Please proceed to the light. VVault11ExterminationChamber02 The light is calming, and puts your mind at ease. Go to the light. VVault11Slideshow1 Greetings, martyr, and welcome! If you're here now, it means you've been offered up as a sacrifice so that your vault can continue to thrive. VVault11Slideshow10 And who could forget when you met the love of your life? What a looker! These are just examples. VVault11Slideshow11 Do you feel that feeling stirring in your chest as you think of these things? Good. What you are feeling is peace. VVault11Slideshow12 You've led a great life. Living it has been its own reward. But it is only the beginning. VVault11Slideshow13 Close your eyes now, and imagine what joys await you in the next life - the afterlife. Can you see them? Good. VVault11Slideshow2 Currently, you may be feeling sad or angry. Perhaps you never got to have grandkids, or to enjoy the pleasures of a fresh cigar. VVault11Slideshow3 But march with your chin held high, soldier, and remember that each of us has an important role to play. VVault11Slideshow4 For some people, their role might be to heal the sick. For others, it might mean they will drive a racecar or fly a rocket ship. VVault11Slideshow5 And some of us are meant to forfeit our lives for the good of the people. VVault11Slideshow6 Sure it might not be as fun as driving a racecar, but it's every bit as important. VVault11Slideshow7 Let's take a moment to reflect on the moments that made your life worth living. VVault11Slideshow8 Think about that time you kissed your steady girl for the first time under the bleachers at the big game. VVault11Slideshow9 Or when you snuck out after curfew to catch that new flick that your parents wouldn't let you see because it was too scary. Boy, were they right! VVault21TourTopic000 All right! Please, follow me. We'll head into the vault right away. VVault21TourTopic001 This bunker protects the entrance to the vault - solid stone outside and thick steel on the inside! VVault21TourTopic002 Above us there's the control center for this level of the vault's life-support systems, electric grid, radioactive shields and all that jazz. VVault21TourTopic003 Don't get lost! My vault has many corridors and rooms - although it is no longer symmetrical, after Mr. House threw us out. VVault21TourTopic004 This is the main game-hall. Here we settled the big disputes among the vault's levels. VVault21TourTopic005 Chosen representatives gambled against each other here. The winner earned the right to settle the dispute as wished by the collective. VVault21TourTopic006 We used to have such parties in this diner! A bitch to clean later... but well worth it! VVault21TourTopic007 This hall leads to our guest rooms. You can use the first room on our left. But no snooping next door! That's my room, always was. VVault21TourTopic008 Down there is the game room! Each side of the vault had one... but the other is filled with concrete now. Okay, that wraps it up. I'll see you soon! Wake {To self, shaking off cobwebs}Oof. Wake {Disoriented}Hmm? Wake {Breathing in deeply as you wake up} Wake {sighs}It is my medical opinion that that could have gone better. Wake {yelling, confused}Thursday! {re-orienting}Wait... ugh. Dammit. Wake {Waking up}What'd I miss? Wake Huh. Alive after all. Wake
Figures.
Wake {Wakes up from hurt}Feels like a Brahmin kicked me. Wake {Disoriented}Guess that didn't go so well. Wake {Disoriented}Head's ringing like an alarm clock. Wake {Getting up after being knocked out}Need a drink. Wake Better than waking up in jail, I guess. Wake {Waking up from knockout, excited}Am I dead? Is this Heaven? {Flat}Oh. Hi boss. Guess not. Wake {Waking up from knockout}Oof. Boss, take a look around and see if any of my parts are lying around, huh? Wake {Waking up from knockout}I've woken up worse places. Not many, though. Wake {Waking up from knockout, panicking}Gah! Petro-Chico Boy! Petro-Chico Boy is here for my chitlins! {Calm}Oh. Just a dream. {Soothing himself}Just a dream.... Wake Is {gramma}grandma's nap over already? Wake {Gramma's}Grandma's head hurts.... WaterBeggarGreetingGiveWater You mean... you don't want anything for it? I don't have any caps or anything...

WaterBeggarGreetingWhatAreYouDoing I've been drinking this irradiated shit and... I can't do it. I just throw it up now. I need purified water... please... WeaponBroke Weapon's busted. WeaponBroke Can't use this anymore. WeaponBroke {concerned}This weapon's done for. WeaponBroke {concerned}I guess they just don't make 'em like they used to. WeaponBroke Need a new weapon. WeaponBroke This weapon's done. WeaponBroke I'm no good without my weapon. WeaponBroke I need a new rifle. WeaponBroke Gotta spare gun handy? WeaponBroke Weapon's done for. WeaponBroke Piece. Of. Shit. WeaponBroke What a piece of junk! WeaponBroke My weapon broke. Probably my fault. WeaponBroke You got a spare piece, boss, or do I have to break out the tubing? WeaponBroke Leo broke another weapon! I told you you hit too hard, Leo! WeaponBroke {Gramma}Grandma needs another weapon, pumpkin! WeaponBroke {Gramma}Grandma's weapon broke, and there are still backsides that need paddling! WeaponIneffective Need a bigger caliber. WeaponIneffective Can't punch through. WeaponIneffective This is useless. WeaponIneffective Might as well be throwing rocks. WeaponIneffective {worried}Might be time for a weapon upgrade. WeaponIneffective {worried}Uh... I think I need some more firepower. WeaponIneffective You got a bigger gun I can borrow? WeaponIneffective I'm not even making a dent with this. WeaponIneffective This weapon's on its last legs. WeaponIneffective Might as well be shooting blanks! WeaponIneffective Maybe I should switch to a squirt gun. WeaponIneffective {Gritted teeth}Need something with more kick. WeaponIneffective Not even slowing it down! WeaponIneffective All I'm doing is pissing him off. WeaponIneffective Well, this isn't doing much of anything. WeaponIneffective Not sure I'm having any impact here, boss. WeaponIneffective Boss, I'm having some... inadequacy issues here. Got a bigger gun I can borrow? WeaponIneffective This weapon isn't working! And Leo doesn't like that very much! WeaponIneffective {Gramma}Grandma needs a bigger paddle for this behind! WeaponIneffective Chop them harder, Leo! Harder! Don't blame the weapon! WranglerResponses Where else? WranglerResponses Nah, I'm gonna chill with my girl. WranglerResponses Can't. The King's got me busy on something. YesManBenny Oh! He wants to kill Mr. House and use the Platinum Chip to copy my neuro-computational matrix onto the Lucky 38's mainframe. YesManBenny That should give me control over all of Mr. House's defenses, most prominently his Securitrons. And then I just do what Benny tells me - easy-peasy! YesManBenny Oh! He wanted to kill Mr. House and use the Platinum Chip to copy my neuro-computational matrix onto the Lucky 38's mainframe! YesManBenny That would give me control over all of Mr. House's defenses, most prominently his Securitrons. And then I guess I just do as I'm told! YesManChip Sure! Benny had me look at it a bunch of times! YesManChip It's a data storage device, kind of like a holotape, but a lot more advanced! As for what's on it, well... YesManChip Some of Mr. House's data transmissions made it sound like the Chip could upgrade his defenses somehow! YesManChip That's just a guess, though! The Chip's a proprietary format! You'd need special hardware to read the data on it! YesManChip There are two locations with non-standard hardware on the network - the Lucky 38 and an underground facility at Fortification Hill. I'd look there! YesManChip Sure! Benny had me look at it a bunch of times! YesManChip It's a data storage device, kind of like a holotape, but a lot more advanced! As for what's on it, well...

YesManIntro Good question! My function is to monitor Mr. House's data network and decode his encrypted transmissions! YesManIntro Allow me to introduce myself! I'm a PDQ-88b Securitron, but you can call me Yes Man! YesManLab This is Benny's workshop. When the Tops got renovated, he had this half of the floor blocked off for his own use. YesManLab I guess you could say it's my entire world! I don't think I've ever left this room! But that's okay - I'm not complaining! Yield Please, have mercy!
