GREETING

Neutral 50
|
What are you doing here? You don't have clearance.
|

|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Get the hell out of my sight.
|

|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Hey, what are you doing out here at this hour?
|
3
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Trouble sleeping again, huh? Well, do yourself a favor - try and get some rest.
|
4
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Following up on your lead, huh? Good. I'll get out of your way before I blow your cover.
|

|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
I hope you catch this guy.
|

|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Nice to meet you. I'm Curtis.
|

|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50

Well?
|

GREETING

Neutral 50

What is it?

|
VMS08CaptainCurtisCrenshaw
|
Where can I find Private Crenshaw again?
|
Neutral 50
|
He's stationed just inside the south wall of the base. Should be on patrol, if he isn't screwing around.
|
10
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisCrenshawLocker
|
Where is Private Crenshaw's footlocker?
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
11
|
Neutral 50
|
His stuff will be at the foot of one of the beds.
|
12
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisHsuSentMe
|
Colonel Hsu wanted me to help you look into the recent intelligence leaks.
|
Neutral 50
|
Smart man. I could use somebody who can operate under the radar around here.
|
13
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
14
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisLegion
|
I know who you are. I'm working for the Legion, too.
|
Neutral 50
|
Christ, keep it down! You want to blow the whole thing? We've worked years for this.
|
15
|
Neutral 50
|
But maybe it's good you're here. Hsu knows about the leaks, and I'm supposed to find the spy for him. {Thinking during the first sentence. Hsu = "shoo"}
|
16
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
17
|
Neutral 50
|
Maybe he's just thinking about putting someone else in charge, maybe he's starting to suspect. Either way it's bad for me.
|
18
|
Neutral 50
|
Especially once this next part goes down.
|
19
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic000
|
Hsu won't trust me enough to let me investigate.
|
Neutral 50
|
Yeah, you haven't exactly kept a low profile. That narrows our options somewhat. They're not gonna believe your accusations.
|
20
|
Neutral 50
|
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. {emphasize "me" slightly}
|
21
|
Neutral 50
|
It'd be better with a scapegoat, but it'll at least deflect some suspicion.
|
22
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic001
|
I couldn't sleep, so I decided to take a walk.
|
Neutral 50
|
[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.
|
23
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, I hope you manage to get some rest. Take it easy.
|
24
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic002
|
Hsu bought it. You should be in the clear.
|
Neutral 50
|
Perfect. This has turned out better than I'd ever imagined.
|
25
|
Neutral 50
|
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. {Hsu= "shoo." Slight emphasis on "me."}
|
26
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
27
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic003
|
Goodbye.
|
Neutral 50
|
Bye.
|
28
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic004
|
I have clearance for catching spies.
|
Neutral 50
|
I don't know what you mean.
|
29
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic005
|
You don't seem like you're supposed to be here, either.
|
Neutral 50
|
Really? And how would you know where I'm supposed to be?
|
30
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic007
|
It's done. The evidence is in Crenshaw's locker and Crenshaw is dead.
|
Neutral 50
|
Poor Crenshaw. He's pulled his last prank. {Curtis ordered Crenshaw's death. This is said with a smirk.}
|
31
|
Neutral 50
|
Go and tell Colonel Hsu you found the bomber. Once Hsu's convinced, we can breathe easy. {Hsu is pronounced "shoo"}
|
32
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic008
|
I have a lead. There's been someone sneaking into the control tower at night.
|
Neutral 50
|
Is that right? No one has any business being in there after dusk. I wonder...
|
33
|
Neutral 50
|
There's a lot of communications equipment up there. He could be using it to touch base with whoever sent him.
|
34
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
35
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
36
|
Neutral 50
|
Report back when you've got it and I'll have him arrested.
|
37
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic009
|
How many years have you been on this assignment?
|
Neutral 50
|
Took me three-and-a-half years, just to make Captain. Usually takes four, but I made sure there was an early vacancy. {the second sentence is a euphemism - he murdered a guy.}
|
38
|
Neutral 50
|
Caesar sees threats before they're even aware of him. He sent me long before we moved to occupy the eastern riverbank.
|
39
|
Neutral 50
|
And now all my work, all the waiting, is about to pay off.
|
40
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic010
|
What next part?
|
Neutral 50
|
If you haven't noticed, the NCR bolsters its presence on the Strip from here. Sends troopers on the monorail in shifts.
|
41
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
42
|
Neutral 50
|
If someone were to cut that line, both positions would be much weaker. Fragile. They know this, and they watch it like hawks.
|
43
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
44
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic011
|
And you have something in mind for me?
|
Neutral 50
|
I told you I think they're starting to suspect me. You're going to help me cast away those suspicions.
|
45
|
Neutral 50
|
You're going to put the bomb on that train.
|
46
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
47
|
Neutral 50
|
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. {froo-men-tar-ee-us}
|
48
|
Neutral 50
|
But with your help, maybe I can stay on after all. Make plans for something... grander.
|
49
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic012
|
Tell me what I need to do.
|
Neutral 50
|
I have the explosives stashed in a trash can next to the ticketing counter along with some incriminating documents.
|
50
|
Neutral 50
|
You'll pick them up and make your way upstairs to the monorail terminal.
|
51
|
Neutral 50
|
They change the guard there at 0900 and 1800 hours. There'll be a small window where there's no one guarding the train. {military time. so "oh-nine-hundred" and "eighteen hundred."}
|
52
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic013
|
The scapegoat isn't me, is it?
|
Neutral 50
|
No, no. I wouldn't do that. Not unless I didn't have better options, anyway. And I do.
|
53
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic014
|
Understood. I'll go and pick up the explosives.
|
Neutral 50
|
Good. Try to plant the explosives quietly if you can - you'll make both our lives easier.
|
54
|
Neutral 50
|
But first things first. Go offer your services to Colonel Hsu. Tell him you'll work independently to find the leak. {Hsu = "shoo"}
|
55
|
Neutral 50
|
He's running out of options. He'll accept as long as you don't give him a reason not to.
|
56
|
Neutral 50
|
If he doesn't, then don't be surprised if you're the new scapegoat. So don't fuck this up.
|
57
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic015
|
Could you go over that again?
|
Neutral 50
|
Yeah, let's make sure you have it down pat.
|
58
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic017
|
I'm not interested in helping you. You're on your own.
|
Neutral 50
|
Are you sure? Because I think the Legion would frown upon that decision.
|
59
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic019
|
I'm positive.
|
Neutral 50
|
Very well. Let me know if you should change your mind.
|
60
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic021
|
I don't. I was just trying to get myself out of trouble.
|
Neutral 50
|
I can't let you leave.
|
61
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic022
|
Nothing.
|
Neutral 50
|
Be straight with me. If you're onto something, I want to know about it.
|
62
|
Neutral 50
|
If you were to get caught or killed, we'd lose everything you've learned about this case.
|
63
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic023
|
Hsu is dead.
|
Neutral 50
|
What? You idiot! I spent years earning his trust. The whole point of your heading up this operation was to preserve that trust!
|
64
|
Neutral 50
|
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!
|
65
|
Neutral 50
|
Get the hell out of my sight.
|
66
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic024
|
I got lost. This place is so big.
|
Neutral 50
|
[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.
|
67
|
Neutral 50
|
I'm headed that way, myself, actually, so you can just follow me if you need to.
|
68
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic025
|
I could ask you the same question.
|
Neutral 50
|
See those menacing looking troopers with guns standing on the walls up there? That's Bravo Company. My company.
|
69
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
70
|
Neutral 50
|
But you still haven't answered my question. {emphasize "my"}
|
71
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic026
|
So what's the plan?
|
Neutral 50
|
All right, forget about blaming Crenshaw. Just bomb the monorail.
|
72
|
Neutral 50
|
Without a fall guy, it's dangerous for us to be seen together. We shouldn't speak again.
|
73
|
Neutral 50
|
If you believe in the Legion's cause, your mission is a reward in and of itself. Good luck.
|
74
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic027
|
Where should I start?
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
75
|
Neutral 50
|
Careful with Contreras, though. He's not above suspicion himself.
|
76
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
77
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic028
|
What do I do when I'm at the train?
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
78
|
Neutral 50
|
I've also left some bomb ingredients in with the explosives. You are to take those to the footlocker of a Private Crenshaw.
|
79
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
80
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic029
|
Is that everything?
|
Neutral 50
|
Report him to Colonel Hsu. Do all that and we should be free and clear.
|
81
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
82
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
83
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic030
|
So where do I find his footlocker?
|
Neutral 50
|
His footlocker is in the barracks in the main concourse.
|
84
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisTopic031
|
Let's discuss something else.
|
Neutral 50
|
Okay.
|
85
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisWhatDoYouDo
|
What do you do here?
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
86
|
Neutral 50
|
So I work with Colonel Hsu on logistics. Patrols, supply lines, reinforcements, that sort of thing.
|
87
|
What do you do here?
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
88
|
What do you do here?
|
Neutral 50
|
Lately it's been less about that and more about figuring out how that information is getting leaked to raiders.
|
89
|
Neutral 50
|
It's a big base with a lot of unhappy soldiers. They get stir-crazy. Hard to separate the malcontents from the actual culprit.
|
90
|
VMS08CaptainCurtisWhoToAsk
|
Who should I be talking to about the intelligence leaks again?
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
91
|
