GREETING | GREETING | Neutral 50 | {surprised} Well, isn't this a surprise. I was just finishing up here. To think that we might have missed each other! | 1 |
Neutral 50 | 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! | 2 | ||
GREETING | Neutral 50 | {surprised to meet player here} How interesting! You're the Profligate courier who's been of some assistance to the Legion. | 3 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | {pleased to see the player} Well, well, well! If it isn't our favorite courier - trekker of the wastes, killer of Mr. House! | 4 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | 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? | 5 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | {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. | 6 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | {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. | 7 | |
Neutral 50 | I want you to witness the fate of the town of Nipton, to memorize every detail. And then, when you move on? | 8 | ||
Neutral 50 | 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. | 9 | ||
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Was there more for us to discuss? | 10 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | I was just finishing up making an example of this town, delivering a sermon, if you will. | 11 | |
Neutral 50 | When you move on, head west to the Mojave Outpost and tell the Profligate troops what you found here. | 12 | ||
VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic000 | I'll do as you ask. | Neutral 50 | Then I bid you {WAH-lay} "Vale" - until we meet again. | 13 |
VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic006 | Your crimes are unforgivable. | Neutral 50 | {carefree} As are all crimes. If you feel strongly about it, attack us, and soon you won't feel a thing. | 14 |
Your crimes are unforgivable. | Neutral 50 | So you've said. | 15 | |
VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic007 | What "lessons" did you teach here? | Neutral 50 | Where to begin? That you are weak, and we are strong? This much was known already. | 16 |
Disgust 25 | But the depths of your moral sickness, your {a beat} dissolution? Nipton serves as the perfect object lesson. | 17 | ||
What "lessons" did you teach here? | Neutral 50 | Where to begin? That they are weak, and we are strong? This much was known already. | 18 | |
Disgust 25 | But the depths of their moral sickness, their {a beat} dissolution? Nipton serves as the perfect object lesson. | 19 | ||
VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic008 | Tell me about Caesar's Legion. | Neutral 50 | The Legion is civilization reborn. Our culture is based on virtues such as martial excellence, loyalty, and justice. | 20 |
Neutral 50 | 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. | 21 | ||
Neutral 50 | The Dam will fall, and the rest of the Profligate west will soon follow. | 22 | ||
VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic009 | How can I serve the Legion? | Neutral 50 | You bear the Mark of {KAI-zar} Caesar. That makes you special. | 23 |
Neutral 50 | Do whatever {KAI-zar} Caesar tells you to do. And whenever the opportunity presents, strike at the Profligates. Pile body upon body. | 24 | ||
How can I serve the Legion? | Neutral 50 | Tell everyone you meet of what you saw here. The Legion can handle the rest. | 25 | |
Neutral 50 | That said, if you were to strike at the Profligates, butcher them, trouble their operations... this will not go unnoticed. | 26 | ||
VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic010 | Your "civilization" sounds like a pack of snarling dogs. | Neutral 50 | {scoffing guffaw} Indeed, our hounds demonstrate greater loyalty to each other every day than the wretched inhabitants of this town. | 27 |
VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic012 | I'm going to wear your head like you wear that dog's. | Neutral 50 | {calling to arms, frightened} Legionaries?! We have a problem! | 28 |
VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic013 | What exactly happened here? | Neutral 50 | Nipton was a wicked place, debased and corrupt. It served all comers, so long as they paid. | 29 |
Neutral 50 | Profligate troops, Powder Gangers, men of the Legion such as myself - the people here didn't care. It was a town of whores. | 30 | ||
Neutral 50 | 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. | 31 | ||
VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic014 | You captured everyone? | Neutral 50 | Yes, and herded them to the center of town. I told them their sins, the foremost being disloyalty. | 32 |
Neutral 50 | I told them that when Legionaries are disloyal, some are punished, the others made to watch. And I announced the lottery. | 33 | ||
Neutral 50 | Each clutched his ticket, hoping it would set him free. Each did nothing, even when {mocking the term} "loved ones" were dragged away to be killed. | 34 | ||
VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic015 | Sounds like they got what was coming to them. | Neutral 50 | Yes, they did. As will all the rest of you, in due time. | 35 |
Neutral 50 | Now go, and teach what you've learned here. There will be more lessons in the days ahead. | 36 | ||

Neutral 50 | Now go, and teach them what you learned here. There will be more lessons in the days ahead. | 38 | ||
VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic016 | I admire the purity of the Legion's justice. | Neutral 50 | You're unusually bright for a Profligate. Well done. | 39 |
Neutral 50 | Now go, and teach what you've learned here. There will be more lessons in the days ahead. | 40 | ||
I admire the purity of the Legion's justice. | Neutral 50 | It has a stark beauty, doesn't it? I'm glad you can appreciate it. | 41 | |
Neutral 50 | Now go, and teach them what you learned here. There will be more lessons in the days ahead. | 42 | ||
VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic017 | You slaughtered innocent civilians? | Neutral 50 | {scoffing Ha!} Innocent? Hardly. | 43 |
Neutral 50 | Cowardly, though. They outnumbered us, yet not once did they try to resist. | 44 | ||
Neutral 50 | They stood and watched as their fellows were butchered, crucified, and burned, one by one. | 45 | ||
Neutral 50 | They stood and hoped their turn would not come. Each cared only for himself. | 46 | ||
VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic018 | I've heard enough. | Neutral 50 | I think your eyes will see more than I could ever tell you. Take your time. Enjoy the sights. | 47 |
I've heard enough. | Neutral 50 | {curious} Why, then, do you keep asking? | 48 | |
VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic020 | Who is this Legatus you mention? | Neutral 50 | {admiring} Legatus Lanius, Monster of the East! Quite a man, if man he be. | 49 |
Neutral 50 | {KAI-zar} Caesar prides himself on selecting the right tool to overcome each new obstacle. In Lanius, he found his hammer. | 50 | ||
Neutral 50 | He's never been defeated in battle. 14 tribes have laid down arms at his boots. Another five, rendered extinct. | 51 | ||
Neutral 50 | His latest campaign in the wilds of the Utah has concluded, and he is en route. When he arrives, your doom arrives with him. | 52 | ||
VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic021 | Tell me about Caesar. | Neutral 50 | What can be said? He's a man of towering intellect, the founder of the Legion, conquerer of 86 tribes. | 53 |
Neutral 50 | {KAI-zar} Caesar is the salvation of mankind, his Legion the rebirth of civilization in a benighted age. | 54 | ||
Neutral 50 | Don't worry, you'll know him well when you serve him. Or you'll be dead. | 55 | ||
VNiptonVLegionaryVulpesIncultaTopic022 | Who are you? | Neutral 50 | 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. | 56 |
Neutral 50 | We Frumentarii are soldiers of a different stripe, capable in battle, but skilled as infiltrators and agents as well. | 57 |

GREETING | GREETING | Neutral 50 | {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. | 1 |
Neutral 50 | My Lord requires your presence at his camp, at Fortification Hill. His Mark will guarantee your safe-conduct through our lands. | 2 | ||
GREETING | Neutral 50 | {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. | 3 | |
Neutral 50 | Any crimes you may have perpetrated against the Legion are hereby forgiven. {KAI-zar} Caesar will not extend this mercy a second time. | 4 | ||
Neutral 50 | My Lord requires your presence at his camp, at Fortification Hill. His Mark will guarantee your safe-conduct through our lands. | 5 | ||
GREETING | Neutral 50 | {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. | 6 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | {Strip} {KAI-zar} Caesar awaits. | 7 | |
VFreeformTheFortVVulpesIncultaStripTopic000 | Why does Caesar want to see me? | Neutral 50 | Go to him, and you will understand. | 8 |
VFreeformTheFortVVulpesIncultaStripTopic001 | If this is a trap, I'm going to take a lot of you with me. | Neutral 50 | {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. | 9 |
VFreeformTheFortVVulpesIncultaStripTopic002 | Tell Caesar I accept his invitation. | Neutral 50 | Seek Caesar by way of Cottonwood Cove, south of Nelson. The Cursor Lucullus will be waiting. | 10 |
VFreeformTheFortVVulpesIncultaStripTopic003 | Who are you? | Neutral 50 | 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. | 11 |
VFreeformTheFortVVulpesIncultaStripTopic004 | What are the Frumentarii? | Neutral 50 | We are soldiers of a different stripe, capable in battle, but skilled as infiltrators and agents as well. | 12 |
VFreeformTheFortVVulpesIncultaStripTopic005 | You again? How'd you find me here? | Neutral 50 | 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. | 13 |
VFreeformTheFortVVulpesIncultaStripTopic006 | How do you know about Benny? | Neutral 50 | 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. | 14 |

GREETING | GREETING | Neutral 50 | Caesar awaits you. We can talk afterwards. | 1 |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | I suspect you'll be a valuable asset to the Legion - assuming you're really on our side, of course. | 2 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | {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. | 3 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | {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. | 4 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Was there more for us to discuss? | 5 | |
VFreeformTheFortFortVulpeIncultaTopic009 | Was there something you needed me to do? | Neutral 50 | {Hated} No, I do not require the "services" of a degenerate such as yourself. | 6 |
Was there something you needed me to do? | Neutral 50 | There is a gambler, Martina Groesbeck, who has a knack for learning other people's secrets and passing that information along for a price. | 7 | |
Neutral 50 | 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. | 8 | ||
Was there something you needed me to do? | Neutral 50 | As I said before, Martina Groesback is a useful, if unwitting, source of information. The Omertas want her dead, while I need her alive. | 9 | |
VFreeformTheFortFortVulpeIncultaTopic013 | What's in it for me? | Neutral 50 | Besides the gratitude of the Legion? Don't worry, you'll be paid in coin or caps. | 10 |
VFreeformTheFortFortVulpeIncultaTopic016 | Why can't you take care of this yourself? | Neutral 50 | I prefer to handle these matters through intermediaries such as yourself. | 11 |
VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic000 | What can you tell me about the Legate? | Neutral 50 | {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. | 12 |
Neutral 50 | 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. | 13 | ||
Neutral 50 | Be glad you will not have to face his judgment... if you are true to {KAI-zar} Caesar. | 14 | ||
What can you tell me about the Legate? | Neutral 50 | {Caesar dead} {Lah-nee-OOS} Lanius served {KAI-zar} Caesar well, as his greatest battlefield commander. | 15 | |
Neutral 50 | 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. | 16 | ||
VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic001 | Martina's safe, and the Omerta thugs sent after her are dead. | Neutral 50 | For now, anyway. She'll need to lay low while the Omertas are scrambling to find out what happened. | 17 |
Neutral 50 | 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. | 18 | ||
VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic002 | I was able to convince the Omerta thugs that crossing the Legion was unwise. | Happy 50 | Excellent. Had you simply killed them, the Omertas would've sent another group after Martina eventually. | 19 |
Happy 20 | 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. | 20 | ||
VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic003 | Tell me about the Burned Man. | Neutral 50 | 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. | 21 |
Neutral 50 | The Burned Man proved dangerous, unpredictable, and impossible to kill. He helped {KAI-zar} Caesar form the Legion but almost led it to destruction. | 22 | ||
VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic004 | Martina's dead. | Disgust 100 | I see. Was it ill fortune, or is {KAI-zar's} Caesar's faith in you misplaced? Either way - it's done. | 23 |
VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic005 | Martina said she sold her information to Captain Curtis in the NCR. | Neutral 50 | {Monorail not destroyed} I know the Captain well. If you wish to be of service, go talk to him. | 24 |
Neutral 50 | 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. | 25 | ||
Martina said she sold her information to Captain Curtis in the NCR. | Neutral 50 | {Monorail destroyed} I know the Captain well. The destruction of the NCR monorail was his doing. | 26 | |
Neutral 50 | Of course, if the NCR were to hear of that, it would be obvious who told them. | 27 | ||
VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic007 | I'll check up on her for you. | Neutral 50 | 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. | 28 |
VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic008 | I'll consider it. | Disgust 10 | If you have to. I really don't see what there is to consider. {Slight frustration.} | 29 |
VFreeformTheFortFortVulpesIncultaTopic015 | Goodbye. | Neutral 50 | {WAH-lay} Vale. | 30 |
