GREETING

Neutral 50
|
{KAI-zar} Caesar awaits. You can speak with me later.

|
GREETING
|
Anger 50
|
{Caesar dead during surgery} {controlled white-hot anger} {KAI-zar} Caesar is dead at your hands. This crime cannot go unpunished.
|

|
GREETING
|
Anger 25
|
{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
|
Anger 50
|
{Caesar dead during surgery, Player incompetent} Your butchery of {KAI-zar} Caesar will not go unpunished!
|

|
GREETING
|
Happy 20
|
{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
|
Neutral 50
|
{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.
|
6
|
Neutral 50
|
You will answer to me until such a time as {KAI-zar} Caesar is able to resume leadership.
|
7
|
GREETING
|
Surprise 10
|
It's a great honor for anyone outside the Legion to get an audience with Caesar. {Slight surprise.}
|
8
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
{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.
|
9
|
Neutral 50
|
It's an excellent place to rest and store extra equipment. In addition, one of our veterans, Atticus, visits the house every few days.
|
10
|
Neutral 50
|
While he's there, you can acquire items useful for stealthy operations against our enemies from him.
|
11
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
{terse military manner} Yes? Do you have something to report?
|
12
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
{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.
|
13
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
{Caesar in coma} {KAI-zar} Caesar is near death. Have you brought the means to cure him?
|
14
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic000
|
I've noticed that you don't carry a gun.
|
Neutral 50
|
It's a tradition in the {pray-TORR-ians} Praetorians to specialize in unarmed combat because weapons can break or jam when needed most.
|
15
|
Neutral 50
|
However, our unarmed techniques favor offense over defense. We can charge the enemy and flatten him with our first strike before he can react.
|
16
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic001
|
I had some general questions for you.
|
Neutral 50
|
I'll answer if I can.
|
17
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic002
|
I don't have any more questions. Let's talk about something else.
|
Neutral 50
|
Very well.
|
18
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic003
|
How did you end up joining the Legion?
|
Neutral 50
|
When I was a boy, the Legion conquered my tribe. I was chosen for training as a Legionary.
|
19
|
Neutral 50
|
I fought in many battles for the Legion. Eventually, Caesar chose me to lead his Praetorian Guard. It was a great honor.
|
20
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic007
|
What happened to the rest of your tribe?
|
Neutral 50
|
The girls and women were enslaved, and many of the men and boys were also chosen to become Legionaries. The rest were killed.
|
21
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic008
|
You don't hate the Legion for what it did to your tribe?
|
Disgust 10
|
We were savages. The Legion raised us up, made us better than what we were. {Slight contempt - he's a little ashamed of how backwards his tribe was.}
|
22
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic009
|
I have questions about something else.
|
Neutral 50
|
What did you want to talk about?
|
23
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic010
|
What do you think about the NCR?
|
Neutral 50
|
The NCR Rangers are the biggest threat. Without them, the NCR is nothing.
|
24
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic011
|
How did the NCR defeat the Legion at Hoover Dam before?
|
Neutral 50
|
We had the numbers, but not the tactics. I know - I was there at Boulder City when we were defeated.
|
25
|
Neutral 50
|
We relied too much on veteran Legionaries for direction and leadership, and the Rangers exploited our weakness by killing our best from afar.
|
26
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic012
|
Is there anything that you need me to do?
|
Neutral 50
|
We recently obtained an artillery weapon, but we don't have the part or the skill to fix it.
|
27
|
Is there anything that you need me to do?
|
Neutral 50
|
The artillery weapon needs the firing mechanism replaced. Any help you can offer would be appreciated.
|
28
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic013
|
Your howitzer is operational.
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
29
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic014
|
I'll see what I can do.
|
Neutral 50
|
The tribe calling themselves the Boomers is obsessed with such weapons, I've been told. You can probably find a spare firing mechanism there.
|
30
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic015
|
Where did you get the gun, anyway?
|
Neutral 50
|
The trader, Dale Barton, salvaged it from a military base in Arizona. Yuma, I believe.
|
31
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic016
|
What do you need artillery for?
|
Neutral 50
|
The best marksman of the NCR are usually at the rear of any battle. The gun will allow us to strike at them.
|
32
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic017
|
I've noticed Legionaries prefer using machetes as weapons.
|
Neutral 50
|
{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.
|
33
|
Neutral 50
|
Unlike an NCR trooper, a Legionary is always ready to fight regardless of the circumstance he finds himself in.
|
34
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic018
|
There are a lot of tents here.
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
35
|
Neutral 50
|
This also only one camp of many. You might have noticed the other camps down by the river.
|
36
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic019
|
If Caesar dies, who takes over the Legion?
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
37
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic020
|
Goodbye.
|
Neutral 50
|
{WAH-lay} Vale.
|
38
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic023
|
Are you the Legion's second-in-command?
|
Neutral 50
|
{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.
|
39
|
Are you the Legion's second-in-command?
|
Neutral 50
|
{Caesar dead} Legate Lanius has not chosen anyone to be his second yet. It would be an honor to be selected, though.
|
40
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic024
|
I don't have the time right now.
|
Neutral 50
|
I understand.
|
41
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic025
|
Can you teach me the Praetorian unarmed technique?
|
Neutral 50
|
{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.
|
42
|
Can you teach me the Praetorian unarmed technique?
|
Neutral 50
|
{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.
|
43
|
Can you teach me the Praetorian unarmed technique?
|
Neutral 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] Of course. This will take some time, and I'm not a forgiving teacher.
|
44
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic026
|
Tell me about the Burned Man.
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
45
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
46
|
Neutral 50
|
{KAI-zar} Caesar has forbidden us from ever speaking his true name again, and so we simply refer to him as the Burned Man.
|
47
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic027
|
Is there anything you can tell me about the Legate?
|
Neutral 50
|
He's the best warrior in the Legion. A full Legionary by the time he was 12, he's never lost a battle.
|
48
|
Neutral 50
|
Had the Legate been in command during the Battle of Hoover Dam, the Legion would've won. I have no doubt about that.
|
49
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic028
|
Apology accepted.
|
Neutral 50
|
{KAI-zar's} Caesar's death is regrettable, but we can't let it stand in the way of the Legion's goals.
|
50
|
Neutral 50
|
Our scouts have reported that the NCR's President Kimball will be visiting the Dam. This is an excellent opportunity to assassinate him.
|
51
|
Neutral 50
|
You are to meet with Cato Hostilius - he'll have more information on ways to eliminate Kimball.
|
52
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic030
|
President Kimball is dead.
|
Neutral 50
|
{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.
|
53
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
54
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic031
|
President Kimball survived the assassination attempt.
|
Anger 5
|
Killing Kimball would've struck fear into the NCR. It's unfortunate that you weren't able to take advantage of this opportunity.
|
55
|
Neutral 50
|

|
56
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic032 < Speech 50 >
|
Caesar would be dead if I didn't try to help him. How dare you blame me for trying to save his life!
|
Neutral 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] What you say is true. I apologize for my rash action - it was out of grief and loyalty. I hope you understand.
|
57
|
Hey, it totally wasn't my fault that he died. He was old.
|
Neutral 50
|
[FAILED] Save your excuses.
|
58
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic033 < Medicine 50 >
|
The cranial bleeding was too much for a man of his age. A younger man would have lived.
|
Neutral 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] I apologize for my rash action. I understand fighting and killing, not healing. I acted out of grief and loyalty.
|
59
|
There was, uh, internal bleeding and lesions and other problems.
|
Neutral 50
|
[FAILED] It's obvious you know as little about medicine as I do. Spare me your excuses.
|
60
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic034
|
Let's finish this, then.
|
Anger 50
|
Avenge {KAI-zar} Caesar!
|
61
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic035
|
<Lie> I did all I could to save him.
|
Neutral 50
|
Yet you failed, and you must pay.
|
62
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic036
|
I did all I could to save him.
|
Neutral 50
|
Yet you failed, and you must pay.
|
63
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic037
|
{Liked+}After everything I've done for the Legion, this one failure condemns me?
|
Neutral 50
|
{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.
|
64
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic039
|
What? You think this is my fault?
|
Neutral 50
|
His head exploded, idiot. Of course it's your fault. {to his men} Avenge {KAI-zar} Caesar!
|
65
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic040
|
Let's move on, then.
|
Neutral 50
|
Yes, we can't let {KAI-zar's} Caesar's death get in the way of the Legion's goals.
|
66
|
Neutral 50
|
Our scouts have reported that the NCR's President Kimball will be visiting the Dam. This is an excellent opportunity to assassinate him.

|
Neutral 50
|
You are to meet with Cato Hostilius - he'll have more information on ways to eliminate Kimball.
|
68
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic041
|
You need me more than I need you - don't forget that.
|
Anger 10
|
{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.
|
69
|
Neutral 50
|
Our scouts have reported that the NCR's President Kimball will be visiting the Dam. This is an excellent opportunity to assassinate him.

VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic042
|
I've brought a doctor, Arcade Gannon, who can take care of Caesar. He's outside.
|
Neutral 50
|
Very well. I'll have him seized and brought to {KAI-zar} Caesar as his personal physician.
|
72
|
I've brought a doctor, Arcade Gannon, who can take care of Caesar. He's outside.
|
Neutral 50
|
So shall I have him seized or not?
|
73
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic043
|
He's all yours.
|
Neutral 50
|
It will be done.
|
74
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic044
|
On second thought, hold off.
|
Anger 10
|
{annoyed with player} {KAI-zar} Caesar's health worsens, and your indecision is unhelpful.
|
75
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic045
|
I'll keep that in mind.
|
Neutral 50
|
See that you do.
|
76
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic046
|
Out of my way, Lucius.
|
Neutral 50
|
{dismissing} Go.
|
77
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic047
|
No trick, and I'm only trying to help.
|
Neutral 50
|
We'll see.
|
78
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic048
|
President Kimball survived. His visit to the Hoover Dam was cancelled.
|
Anger 5
|
Killing Kimball would've struck fear into the NCR. It's unfortunate that you weren't able to take advantage of this opportunity.

I've brought something to fix the Auto-Doc.
|
Neutral 50
|
Fix it, then. You're not leaving until it's done and {KAI-zar} Caesar lives.
|
81
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic050
|
I have what's needed to do the surgery.
|
Neutral 50
|
Do it, then. You're not leaving until it's done and {KAI-zar} Caesar lives.
|
82
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic051
|
A man who can cure Caesar, Arcade Gannon, waits outside. He's all yours.
|
Neutral 50
|
Good. I'll have my men seize him immediately.
|
83
|
VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic052
|
No, I haven't.
|
Neutral 50
|
Then you die.
|
84

VFreeformTheFortFortLuciusTopic053

I'm still working on that, actually.

You had your chance. Now you die.
