Excuse me, but... are you the courier who caused all of that trouble in The Tops?
|

|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Hey, have you been able to bug Mr. House's network yet?
|
2
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Any interest in helping us with Mr. House's data network? I'm still good for the medical supplies.
|

|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
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
|
Neutral 50
|
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

Happy 5
|
Thanks again for helping with Mr. House's data network. Come see me at the Old Mormon Fort if you get a chance.

Drop dead.

What's up?

|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic000
|
Why do you want to know?
|
Fear 10
|
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.
|
9
|
| Happy 5
|
And we were wondering if you could help us. If it's not too much trouble, of course.
|
10
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic001
|
Yes.
|
Happy 15
|
Oh. Great! The Followers of the Apocalypse, well some of us, anyway, have been interested in Mr. House's technology, how he stays alive.
|
11
|
| Neutral 50
|
Of course, no one is allowed inside the Lucky 38, so no one knows what's going on. Well, except for you.
|
12
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic002
|
If you're about to ask me for help, stop.
|
Pained 5
|
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.
|
13
|
| Sad 10
|
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.
|
14
|
| Neutral 50
|
I guess we can thank NCR for that. Anyway, just a bit of information about Mr. House's technology could go a long way.
|
15
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic003
|
And this is where I come in.
|
Pained 5
|
Right. We just want to find out what sort of technology Mr. House has used to stay alive for all these years.
|
16
|
| Sad 10
|
It could be of great benefit to the people we try to help, many of whom suffer from hard to diagnose illnesses.
|
17
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic005
|
Why wasn't the data useful?
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
18
|
| Neutral 50
|
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.
|
19
|
| Neutral 50
|
It's fascinating, but depressing. Whatever technology he has can't possibly be practical for the people out here.
|
20
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic006
|
All right. I'm on it.
|
Happy 15
|
Really? Oh, I wasn't expecting you to agree so easily. That's great!
|
21
|
| Happy 5
|
Here, take this packet sniffer. It will allow us to intercept data on Mr. House's network.
|
22
|
| Happy 5
|
You might have to manually remove the encryption from his data network, but hopefully you won't have too much trouble. Good luck!
|
23
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic007
|
Not quite yet.
|
Neutral 50
|
Okay. No rush, but the sooner the Followers can learn about Mr. House's technology, the better.
|
24
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic008
|
I've bugged the tower for you.
|
Neutral 50
|
Good to hear, but it looks like the bug was deactivated a few minutes after it went online.
|
25
|
| Neutral 50
|
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.
|
26
|
| Neutral 50
|
Here are those medical supplies I promised. Hopefully you won't need to use them. Take care.
|
27
|
| I've bugged the tower for you.
|
Happy 35
|
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.
|
28
|
| Anger 50
|
Oh what the hell? The bug went offline! Dammit!
|
29
|
| Disgust 50
|
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.
|
30
|
| I've bugged the tower for you.
|
Neutral 50
|
We haven't received any information yet from the bug. Please report back when you've found a way into House's network.
|

|
How did you get enough money to enter The Strip?
|
Neutral 50
|
This is important enough to the Followers that we scraped together the caps required for the credit check.
|
32
|
| Happy 15
|
And I'm staying at Vault 21, which is pretty cheap. For the Strip, anyway.
|
33
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic011
|
I'm not interested.
|
Neutral 50
|
Do you mind if I ask why?
|
34
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic012
|
How long have you been with the Followers?
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
35
|
| Neutral 50
|
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.
|
36
|
| Neutral 50
|
There's not much funding for medical research with OSI or any other group - not unless it has a military application, anyway.
|
37
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic013
|
I don't want to abuse Mr. House's trust.
|
Sad 15
|
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.
|
38
|
| Neutral 50
|
Let me know if you change your mind. I'll be around here or in Vault 21.
|
39
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic014
|
Because I don't give a shit about the Followers or anyone else in this dump.
|
Anger 30
|
Great. You and every other asshole around here. If you grow a heart anytime soon, I'll be around.
|
40
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic015
|
I have to go.
|
Sad 25
|
{a bit shocked} Oh... okay. {regaining composure} I'll be around if you change your mind.
|
41
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic016
|
What do you do around here?
|
Neutral 50
|
I'm interested in medicine, but it's not my strong suit. I try to help out with any computer issues the Followers have.
|
42
|
| Neutral 50
|
That's why I was helping out with the research into Mr. House's technology. {disappointed} Trying to, anyway.
|
43
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic017
|
Dr. &PCName; diagnoses a terminally low discussion of caps in this conversation.
|
Happy 10
|
[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.
|
44
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic018
|
So, are you... paying me for this?
|
Sad 10
|
[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.
|
45
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic020
|
All right. I'll do it.
|
Neutral 50
|
Great. I'll have the medical supplies for you by the time you come back.
|
46
|
| Neutral 50
|
Here, take this packet sniffer. It will allow us to intercept data on Mr. House's network.
|
47
|
| Neutral 50
|
You might have to manually remove the encryption from his data network, but hopefully you won't have too much trouble. Good luck!
|
48
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic021
|
Not good enough.
|
Neutral 50
|
I'm afraid that's all I can offer. Well, I won't keep you any longer.
|
49
|
| Neutral 50
|
Let me know if you change your mind. The offer for medical supplies will still be good.
|
50
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic022
|
Is there another way to get Mr. House's data?
|
Neutral 50
|
{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.
|
51
|
| Sad 10
|
Uh... oh yeah, I didn't tell you about the first time. I'd rather not talk about it, if you don't mind.
|
52
|
| Is there another way to get Mr. House's data?
|
Neutral 50
|
I already told you, I don't want to talk about it.
|
53
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic024
|
Hey, I risked a lot to get you that data feed.
|
Neutral 50
|
[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.
|
54
|
| Neutral 50
|
Specifically, a Securitron. And more specifically, the "someone" was Benny. I know, I know... he shot you in the head and everything.
|
55
|
| Neutral 50
|
But this was a while ago. I knew he was sleazy, but I didn't realize he was so cold-blooded.
|
56
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic025
|
What's the big deal?
|
Anger 20
|
[FAILED] Just drop it, okay?
|
57
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic026
|
Let's talk about something else.
|
Neutral 50
|
What do you want to know?
|
58
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic027
|
Goodbye.
|
Neutral 50
|
See you when I see you.
|
59
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic028
|
Did Benny say why he had the Securitron?
|
Neutral 50
|
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.
|
60
|
| Anger 5
|
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.
|
61
|
| Disgust 10
|
Big surprise, right? I should have seen that coming.
|
62
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic029
|
What did he have you do?
|
Neutral 50
|
The Securitron was disabled somehow. Might have been an EMP, given some of the damage I saw.
|
63
|
| Neutral 50
|
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.
|
64
|
| Neutral 50
|
If Mr. House detects a "rogue" Securitron in his system, he remotely fries it. Getting around that security feature was a bit tricky.
|
65
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic030
|
Did something... happen between you two?
|
Disgust 20
|
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.
|
66
|
| Disgust 5
|
It only happened once. I chalk it up to sleep deprivation and one atomic cocktail too many.
|
67
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic031
|
You didn't think to tell anyone about this?
|
Anger 10
|
Yes, strange as it sounds, I figured that bad mouthing one of the Strip's most powerful people wasn't a good idea.
|
68
|
| Fear 5
|
The only reason I'm telling you any of this is because he's gone now.
|
69
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic033
|
Tell me again about Benny's Securitron.
|
Neutral 50
|
Not much to tell. Benny had one of Mr. House's Securitrons, deactivated, and wanted it switched back on.
|
70
|
| Neutral 50
|
He had heard I was interested in Mr. House's technology so he hit me up... so to speak.
|
71
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic034
|
Don't be so hard on yourself. Life would be dull if it weren't for all the little mistakes.
|
Happy 10
|
{teasing a bit} I take it you're speaking from experience.
|
72
|
| Happy 5
|
You're right though. He's gone now, so I'm not going to let it bother me anymore. {sweet} Thanks.
|
73
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic035
|
Alcohol is the only way Benny could ever get any action from a smart girl like you.
|
Happy 15
|
{flattered} That's sweet of you to say, even if it isn't true.
|
74
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic036
|
Getting sucker punched by Benny happens to the best of us.
|
Neutral 50
|
Good point.
|
75
|
| vfreeformlucky38Lucky38FollowerEmilyTopic037
|
Maybe you should chalk it up to being irresponsible and naive.
|
Anger 40
|
And maybe you should go jump off Hoover Dam, jackass.
