Hold on Jonas, I need to record this first. {muted - away from mike}

Neutral 50
|
I don't really know how to tell you this. I hope you'll understand, but I know you might be angry. {pause at the beginning, like he's trying to think of what to say}
|

|
Neutral 50
|
I thought about it for a long time, but in the end I decided it was best for you not to know.
|
3
|
Neutral 50
|
So many things could have gone wrong, and there's really no telling how the Overseer will react when he finds out.
|
4
|
Neutral 50
|
It's best if he can blame everything on me.
|
5
|
Neutral 50
|
Obviously, you already know that I'm gone. It was something I needed to do. You're an adult now. You're ready to be on your own.
|
6
|
Neutral 50
|
Maybe some day, things will change and we can see each other again. I can't tell you why I left or where I'm going. I don't want you to follow me.
|
7
|
Neutral 50
|
God knows life in the Vault isn't perfect, but at least you'll be safe. Just knowing that will be enough to keep me going.
|

Don't mean to rush you, Doc, but I'd feel better if we got this over with. {This should be in Jonas's voice will require script trickery to make it show up in Jonas's script. Muted away from mike.}

Okay. Go ahead. {muted away from mike}

Goodbye. I love you. {sound of vault door opening in the background}

Neutral 50
|
I've been hearing good things about you.
|
12
|
Neutral 50
|
Is it true? Did you really disarm the bomb in Megaton?
|
13
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
I think we need to talk.
|
14
|
Neutral 50
|
I've been... hearing things. Things that have happened out there.
|
15
|
Neutral 50
|
Megaton destroyed... You... You didn't have anything to do with that, did you?
|
16
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
I know there's a lot going on right now. This is all very sudden.
|
17
|
Neutral 50
|
I just want you to know that I'm here if you want to talk. You seem troubled, like there's a cloud hanging over you.
|
18
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
I know there's a lot going on right now. This is all very sudden.
|
19
|
Neutral 50
|
I just wanted to say... I wanted to say that I'm proud of you. You're a good person, and it shows.
|
20
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
It's essential that you get to the pipes as soon as you can. We can't allow the pressure to build up, or it could be a disaster.
|
21
|
Neutral 50
|
I'll be here for you when you get back.
|
22
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Please, hurry. Once the blockage is cleared up, we'll be in good shape.
|
23
|
Neutral 50
|
I'll be here for you when you get back.
|
24
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
You didn't have to come all the way back here, you know. You could've just gone right to the mainframe.
|
25
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Replace those fuses. Otherwise we'll never get the doors open, and there's no chance of getting the mainframe running.
|
26
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
So the pumps are working, and some of the doors are opened. We're making progress.
|
27
|
Neutral 50
|
Problem is that the water shorted out a few key fuse boxes. Here, take these fuses and replace the ones that have burnt out.
|
28
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Once you get the Flood Control Pumps activated, that'll clear out some of the water and make it easier for us to see what else has gone wrong.
|
29
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Let's get to the control room and assess the situation. We can talk more there. {DAD_RECORD}
|
30
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Are you all right? Is it safe in there?
|
31
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
We can't accomplish anything until we can get inside, but none of us are particularly capable fighters.
|
32
|
Neutral 50
|
I hate to ask you to put yourself in harm's way, but you seem to have learned to handle yourself.
|
33
|
Neutral 50
|
I need you to go in and make sure it's safe for Doctor Li and her crew.
|
34
|
GREETING
|
Happy 50
|
I still need your help. I can't do this without you, you know.
|
35
|
GREETING
|
Happy 50
|
Here we are. Where it all began. You remember your mother's favorite passage? {DAD_RECORD}
|
36
|
Neutral 50
|
Revelation 21:6. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life, freely. {DAD_RECORD pronounce it "Twenty-one six"}
|
37
|
Neutral 50
|
Don't you see? This is what it all means. The water, the purifier. THIS is the water of life. Your mother's dream. {DAD_RECORD}
|
38
|
Neutral 50
|
No point in wasting time. Let's get to work. There's much to be done.
|
39
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
I'm not trying to put you off, but we need to get to Project Purity. Anything else can wait until later.
|
40
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
We need to get back to Project Purity. The computer there is our best chance to locate a G.E.C.K.
|
41
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Give me a few moments to speak with Madison. Then we can decide on a course of action. Have patience.
|
42
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Good to see you again, honey.
|
43
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Good to see you again, son.
|
44
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
What do you need?
|
45
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
I need to reach Madison as soon as possible. Now I can make her see that Project Purity is worth finishing.
|
46
|
GREETING
|
Happy 50
|
You've saved me. I was afraid I'd be trapped in there forever. {relieved; thrilled to see his child again}
|
47
|
Happy 50
|
It's so good to see you, but... What are you DOING here? {happy, but confused}
|

Son... You've saved me. I was afraid I'd be trapped in there forever. {relieved; thrilled to see his child again}

We're back at work after a full week of delays. The Brotherhood soldiers were able to repair the sentry guns, much to my relief.
|
51
|
Neutral 50
|
I know Madison isn't comfortable having them here, but there's no denying that we'd be lost without them.
|
52
|
Neutral 50
|
We're still waiting on the full analysis of the last three small-scale purification tests.
|
53
|
Neutral 50
|
Catherine hasn't been feeling well, and it's slowing down our research. I don't mind, but I can tell it's bothering some of the others.
|
54
|
MQ03DadHoloEntry3
|
MQ03DadHoloEntry3
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, there's no more mystery behind Catherine's health problems.
|
91
|
Neutral 50
|
The news of her pregnancy has lifted the spirits of everyone here, and given us a renewed interest in making the purifier work.
|
92
|
Neutral 50
|
We now have a future generation to provide for.
|
93
|
Neutral 50
|
The latest tests show that our methods are horribly inefficient, but I think we're on the right track.
|
94
|
Neutral 50
|
Catherine refuses to rest; she insists on spending all day in the lab. I've never seen her more driven.
|
95
|
Neutral 50
|
She's determined to resolve the power problems before the baby is born. I've tried to reason with her, but it's no use.
|
96
|
MQ03DadHoloEntry5
|
MQ03DadHoloEntry5
|
Neutral 50
|
The team has made plans to scale back our work once the baby is born.
|
97
|
Neutral 50
|
We're also trying to compensate for the increase in mutant attacks; no one is really talking about the implications of it.
|
98
|
Neutral 50
|
There are more of them than before. We know it, and the Brotherhood soldiers know it.
|
99
|
Neutral 50
|
Our relationship with the Brotherhood is straining.
|
100
|
Neutral 50
|
They're concerned by the lack of concrete results from the project, especially in light of the mutant attacks.
|
101
|
Neutral 50
|
They haven't come out and said it, but we all know what's going on.
|
102
|
Neutral 50
|
They're questioning whether their involvement in our project is worth the trouble it's causing them.
|
103
|
Neutral 50
|
They lost two good men this week, with three more injured.
|

I am at a loss. My beloved wife is gone. In her place is my son, small and helpless.
|
105
|
Neutral 50
|
As much as this place means to me... As much as it meant to Catherine, this is no place for an infant.
|
106
|
Neutral 50
|
Especially an infant without his mother.
|
107
|
MQ03DadHoloEntry7
|
Neutral 50

I am at a loss. My beloved wife is gone. In her place is my daughter, small and helpless.

As much as this place means to me... As much as it meant to Catherine, this is no place for an infant.

|
Neutral 50
|
It's time to go. The project was in trouble before, both internally and externally.
|
111
|
Neutral 50
|
Progress has come to a halt, both because our re-calculations have gotten us nowhere, and because the mutant attacks occur several times a day.
|
112
|
Neutral 50
|
I regret that it has come to this. I know that if I leave, our work may come to an end.
|
113
|
Neutral 50
|
Madison has never been on the best of terms with the Brotherhood; aside from Scribe Rothchild, she'll tolerate none of them.
|
114
|
Neutral 50
|
If she's the one dealing with them, who knows what will happen.
|
115
|
Neutral 50
|
It breaks my heart to go, but I must put the needs of my child before my own.
|
116
|
MQ03DadHoloEntry9

Neutral 50
|
Well. Here we are again. Project Purity and me. It's been close to twenty years since my last entry.
|
117
|
Neutral 50
|
Since I left all of this behind to make a life for my son.
|
118
|
Neutral 50
|
We've spent that time in Vault 101, tucked away from the rest of the world.
|
119
|
Neutral 50
|
It wasn't perfect, but it was safe, and that's all I could have hoped for.
|
120
|
Neutral 50
|
Now, my son is a grown man. Handsome, intelligent, confident. Just like his old man. Hmph.
|
121
|
Neutral 50
|
And as hard as it was to admit it, he doesn't need his daddy anymore.
|
122
|
MQ03DadHoloEntry9
|
Neutral 50
|
Well. Here we are again. Project Purity and me. It's been close to twenty years since my last entry.

Since I left all of this behind to make a life for my daughter.

We've spent that time in Vault 101, tucked away from the rest of the world.

It wasn't perfect, but it was safe, and that's all I could have hoped for.

Now, my daughter is a grown woman. Beautiful, intelligent, confident. Just like her mother.

And as hard as it was to admit it, she doesn't need her daddy anymore.

MQ03DadHoloEntry12

MQ03DadHoloEntry12
|
Neutral 50
|
So here I am, back where it all began. Project Purity. God, we wanted to change the world. We really thought the "waters of life" could be a reality.
|
55
|
Neutral 50
|
And that's why this is a momentous occasion. Because even after nineteen years, I still believe it.
|
56
|
Neutral 50
|
Project Purity can and will be operational. This is just the beginning.
|
57
|
MQ03DadHoloEntry13
|
MQ03DadHoloEntry13

Neutral 50
|
This is day two of my attempt to resurrect this project.
|
58
|
Neutral 50
|
I've got one of the portable fusion generators up and running, but it's just enough to power the emergency lighting and a couple of other systems.
|
59
|
Neutral 50
|
That will serve for now, but I'll need help powering up the mainframe. Time to visit Madison at Rivet City.
|
60
|
MQ03DadHoloEntry14
|
MQ03DadHoloEntry14
|
Neutral 50
|
I spoke with Doctor Li... Madison... at Rivet City. It went about as well as I expected.
|
61
|
Neutral 50
|
That is to say, she thinks I'm completely mad. How can I blame her?
|
62
|
Neutral 50
|
She's got her own life, her own team, and is making real, tangible scientific progress.
|
63
|
Neutral 50
|
And here I come again, the very paragon of failure and false promises.
|
64
|
Neutral 50
|
But the reality is I need Madison, and whatever scientific team she may have assembled. I can't do this myself.
|
65
|
Neutral 50
|
Project Purity is bigger than me. It always was. And without Catherine... God, I can't let this die. Not again. Not like this.
|
66
|
MQ03DadHoloEntry16
|
MQ03DadHoloEntry16
|
Neutral 50
|
Even in Vault 101, my work on Project Purity never really stopped.
|
67
|
Neutral 50
|
Soon after we arrived, my nightly routine included sneaking into the restricted areas, searching for... I don't know. Whatever I could find.
|
68
|
Neutral 50
|
It was a Vault-Tec facility, after all. The place was built with some of the most advanced technology this country had ever developed.
|
69
|
Neutral 50
|
Those excursions never turned up anything particularly useful. So... one night, after half a bottle of scotch, I broke into the Overseer's office.
|
70
|
Neutral 50
|
It was easy enough to hack his console, gain access to the restricted files. Most of it was garbage.
|
71
|
Neutral 50
|
Propaganda, spy reports, just plain rambling bullshit, really.
|
72
|
Neutral 50
|
But there was one thing, one name that stood out amongst all the others Doctor Stanislaus Braun.
|
73
|
Neutral 50
|
I knew of Braun's work, of course.
|
74
|
Neutral 50
|
He was a celebrity in his day, Vault-Tec's "Sorcerer Scientist," leaving his peers in awe of his technological wizardry.
|
75
|
Neutral 50
|
But it was in Vault 101, that night in the Overseer's office...
|
76
|
Neutral 50
|
I first learned of Braun's involvement in Vault-Tec's Societal Preservation Program, and his work on something called the G.E.C.K.
|
77
|
Neutral 50
|
The Garden of Eden Creation Kit.
|
78
|
MQ03DadHoloEntry19
|
MQ03DadHoloEntry19
|
Neutral 50
|
To be honest, the G.E.C.K. sounded like pure fantasy, even for someone of Braun's capabilities.
|
79
|
Neutral 50
|
It was nothing short of a miracle a terraforming module, capable of producing life from complete lifelessness.
|
80
|
Neutral 50
|
But not only was this thing a reality, it was actually distributed to several vaults, to be used after an atomic war.
|
81
|
Neutral 50
|
Vault 101 was, sadly, not on that list.
|
82
|
Neutral 50
|
I did some digging, and discovered Braun's name on the reservation list for a Vault 112.
|
83
|
Neutral 50
|
I'm no slouch, but this man... He could have easily succeeded where I failed.
|
84
|
Neutral 50
|
Does his collected knowledge remain within the halls of Vault 112? Journals, holotapes, computer records, maybe even experiments...
|
85
|
Neutral 50
|
If I could gain access to just a fraction of Braun's genius, Project Purity would become a reality.
|
86
|
MQ03DadHoloEntry21
|
MQ03DadHoloEntry21
|
Neutral 50
|
I'm off to Vault 112 to search for anything of Braun's that might help me get this purifier up and running.
|
87
|
Neutral 50
|
All I know is that it's west of someplace called Evergreen Mills, and it's well-hidden in some sort of garage, but I'll find it. I have to. {DAD_RECORD}
|
88
|
Neutral 50
|
It's so close, but that's the story of Project Purity, isn't it? An eternity of "almost theres."
|
89
|
Neutral 50
|
Let's see if Braun has the missing puzzle piece.
|
90
|
MQ04DadCanWeGo
|
Can we get out of here now?
|
Happy 50
|
Yes, yes! Absolutely! We need to get back to Rivet City. I've got to tell Madison that I have it.
|
129
|
Happy 50
|
After all these years, I finally have the key to making Project Purity a reality.
|
130
|
MQ04DadChoice1
|
I came here to find you.
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, I'm glad you did. This certainly wasn't how I expected things to turn out. I wasn't ready for Braun, or I might've fared better.
|
131
|
MQ04DadChoice2
|
What are YOU doing here? You could've been killed!
|
Surprise 100
|
Well I didn't expect Dr. Braun to be alive and insane. I thought I'd just find notes, or holotapes. {slightly defensive}
|
132
|
Neutral 50
|
I needed information about Braun, and his work on the G.E.C.K.
|
133
|
MQ04DadChoice3
|
I want answers from you.
|
Surprise 50
|
You came all this way, and risked your life for answers? They must be important to you. {surprised}
|
134
|
MQ04DadDidntLikeDog
|
What, you didn't like being a dog?
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, I suppose it had its moments. But in the end, I much prefer having opposable thumbs. {joking, light-hearted scientist humor}
|
135
|
Neutral 50
|
And now that I'm back, I can get back to work. I need to tell Madison what I've learned.
|
136
|
MQ04DadDontDoItAgain
|
Yeah, well... Don't do it again.
|
Pained 10
|
I assure you, I won't. I'm going to need your help.
|
137
|
Happy 20
|
Now that I have what I came for, I need to get to Rivet City right away.
|
138
|
MQ04DadGoodThingIWasThere
|
Good thing I showed up to save you.
|
Happy 50
|
It certainly is! It's nice to feel like I'm on two legs again. {joking, relieved}
|
139
|
Neutral 50
|
And thanks to Doctor Braun, I know that Project Purity isn't lost after all.
|
140
|
MQ04DadGotInformation
|
Did you get the information you needed?
|
Neutral 50
|
I did indeed. Braun's work, the G.E.C.K., was designed to re-adapt environments for living after a nuclear war.
|
141
|
Neutral 50
|
It's not entirely stable, but I'm sure that components of that technology are just what we need, what we've been missing all this time.
|
142
|
Neutral 50
|
I need to return to Rivet City. Once Madison knows about the G.E.C.K., I can get her to see that it really will work.
|
143
|
MQ04DadGottaBeKidding
|
You've got to be kidding me...
|
Neutral 50
|
You must understand. As much as I love you, this project has been my responsibility since long before you were even born.
|
144
|
Sad 10
|
Too many people have made sacrifices to give up on it now. Your mother...
|
145
|
Happy 20
|
If you'll let me, I'd like to show you what we've accomplished. I want you to be there when we change the world.
|
146
|
Happy 20
|
After so many years, I can finally see it through to the end. I can't stop now.
|
147
|
MQ04DadLetsGo
|
Okay, let's head for Rivet City.
|
Happy 50
|
That's my girl! {proud, thrilled}

Let's hurry. Now that I know what we need, I want to get back to work as soon as possible. {DAD_RECORD}

Surprise 50
|
Really? You're not going to join me? {surprised, hurt}

You need to go back to Rivet City?

I can't do this on my own. Madison... Doctor Li has a team of scientists working at Rivet City. They'll have to help.
|
158
|
Neutral 50

The facility hasn't been used in years. There'll be enough work for a good number of people, and it will take us a while.

Yes. With what I've learned, Madison is sure to see that we can finally succeed where we failed so many years ago.

"I'm sorry" isn't good enough.

Yes, what about you? Why, in fact, are you outside the Vault at all? I don't even want to know HOW you got out.

As much as I appreciate your help, you were supposed to stay there, to make a life for yourself there, not out here!

MQ04DadWhatDidYouLearn

What did you learn?
|
Neutral 50
|
I was right about Braun. The technology he developed is unstable, even dangerous, but it can be adapted for Project Purity.
|
174
|
Neutral 50

I need to return to Rivet City and talk with Madison. If we can find a G.E.C.K., we can make Project Purity work.

175
|
MQ04DadWhatDoingHere

What are you doing here?

Neutral 50
|
I needed information about Doctor Braun's research and development of the G.E.C.K. It's vital to getting Project Purity running.
|
176

I was expecting to find notes, or holotapes. I didn't plan on being caught up in Braun's twisted fantasy world.

That's where you belonged. You were an adult, capable of fending for yourself, and you had a good life ahead of you.

What's out here is my task, my responsibility. I never wanted you to have any part of this insanity.

Yes, I lied about where you were born. About where I was born. I admit that. {regretful, apologetic}

You were supposed to stay put. You could've had a good life in the Vault. {disappointed, slightly reprimanding tone}

MQ04DadYourResponsibility

"Your responsibility"? What does that mean?
|
Neutral 50
|
Project Purity was underway long before you were born. There were many of us, including your mother, who devoted our lives to it.
|
186

The idea of free, clean water for everyone drove us to succeed. So many sacrifices were made for that idea.

For almost twenty years now, I've done everything I can to see that you have a good life.

The Vault wasn't perfect, to be sure, but it was the safest place in the Wasteland. That's why I took you there in the first place.

Oh, be honest. Can you really say you wouldn't have tried to come with me if you knew?

I told you, I wanted a different life for you. I had hoped the Overseer would seal the Vault, making it impossible for you to leave.

It might mean you spent the rest of your life hating me, but... your well-being was worth that chance.

Can't we just go back to the Vault, back to the way things were?
|
Neutral 50

Somehow I don't think the Overseer would agree to that.

What's done is done. But if we succeed, if we can make Project Purity a reality, we can create a new life for ourselves out here.

I wanted you to be safe. I didn't want this for you a life out here in this godforsaken warzone.

A plan which clearly was not as successful as I imagined it would be. {joking}

MQ05DadJustDisappear

I had thought that after my escape, the Overseer would seal the vault. You'd have no choice to stay behind.

The Vault you grew up in had its own water purification system. Clean water was never a worry. Out here, things are different. {DAD_RECORD}

In the year before you were born, things became difficult. {DAD_RECORD}

There had always been something of a "mutant problem" in the city, but it became worse. They attacked more frequently, and more aggressively. {DAD_RECORD}

Support for the project eroded as time went on, when we couldn't produce any significant results. Progress came to a halt. And then you were born. {DAD_RECORD}

Your mother and I had talked about what to do when that time came, but then I... We lost her, and I had to make a decision. I chose to leave. {DAD_RECORD}

From what I understand, things happened quickly after that. It became too dangerous for the others to stay, and so the project was abandoned. {DAD_RECORD}

It started as an idea, really. Remember the Bible passage your mother loved so much? {DAD_RECORD}

Free, clean water for everyone. What a difference it could make in the lives of everyone here in the Wastes. {DAD_RECORD}

Over time, that idea took the form of a purifier. Not like the one in the Vault, though. {DAD_RECORD}

This one was gigantic, capable of purifying millions of gallons of water at once. {DAD_RECORD}

You really think you can do this? Make this thing work?
|
Neutral 50
|
I wouldn't be here if I didn't. With what I've learned from Doctor Braun, I know it can work.
|

|
Neutral 50
|
That's why it's so important we find a G.E.C.K. as soon as possible. It's the key to Project Purity.

MQ05DadThrowAwayLife
|
Why would you throw away the life we had?
|
Neutral 50
|
You have to understand, the Vault wasn't for me. It was for you. To make sure my daughter grew up someplace safe, away from all this.
|
301
|
Neutral 50
|
I didn't want you to leave. I wanted you to stay there, to grow up and live your life in safety.
|
302
|
Why would you throw away the life we had?
|
Neutral 50
|
You have to understand, the Vault wasn't for me. It was for you. To make sure my son grew up someplace safe, away from all this.
|
303
|
Neutral 50
|
I didn't want you to leave. I wanted you to stay there, to grow up and live your life in safety.

MQ05DadUnderstand
|
I think I understand. I'm glad we talked.
|
Neutral 50
|
So am I, my love. While this isn't what I had in mind, it's good to have you with me.
|
305
|
I think I understand. I'm glad we talked.
|
Neutral 50
|
So am I, son. While this isn't what I had in mind, it's good to have you with me.
|

|
MQ05DadWhatDoing
|
Just what are you trying to do here?
|
Neutral 50
|
There's so much history here. So much time and energy spent on this place, because it could help so many people.
|
307
|
Neutral 50
|
And now, after all these years, there's a chance to finish it. To see it through to the end, and help all the people of the Capital Wasteland.
|
308
|
MQ05DadWhySoImportant
|
Why is this so important?
|
Neutral 50
|
You remember the Bible passage, about the waters of life? It's more than just a poster on a wall.
|
309
|
Neutral 50
|
Your mother and I, we lived by that ideal. Water, clean and free, for everyone in the Wasteland!
|
310
|
Neutral 50
|
Think about that for a moment. No more radiation sickness, no more mutated crops, no more struggling just to stay alive. Finally... hope.
|
311
|
Neutral 50
|
Isn't it worth taking a risk to give that hope to people?
|
312
|
MQ05FixPPBeBack
|
Okay. I'll be back soon.
|
Neutral 50
|
That's the spirit!
|

|
MQ05FixPPNoWayMan
|
I said I'm not doing this, and I meant it.
|
Neutral 50
|
All right, all right. I won't push. But please reconsider. {DAD_RECORD}
|
314
|
No way. I'm not doing this.
|
Neutral 50
|
Honey, I know things are moving a bit quickly, and I'm sure you have some conflicting feelings about helping me after what's happened.
|
315
|
Neutral 50
|
If you need to take a moment, that's fine. I'll be waiting for you.
|
316
|
No way. I'm not doing this.
|
Neutral 50
|
Son, I know things are moving a bit quickly, and I'm sure you have some conflicting feelings about helping me after what's happened.
|
317
|
Neutral 50
|
If you need to take a moment, that's fine. I'll be waiting for you.
|
318
|
MQ05FixPPWhatNext
|
What should I be doing now?
|
Neutral 50
|
You just need to power up the mainframe, and we can see what there is to see.
|
319
|
What should I be doing now?
|
Neutral 50
|
You need to replace the fuses that shorted out in the flooding. Once they're in, the automatic doors will work and we can reach the mainframe.
|
320
|
You said something about fuses?
|
Neutral 50
|
Right. The flooding shorted out some of the fuse boxes downstairs, including one that controls some of the automatic doors.
|
321
|
Neutral 50
|
Here, take these fuses. The box is back down in the sub-basement, near the eastern end of the level.
|
322
|
Neutral 50
|
Once the fuses are replaced, you'll be able to get to the mainframe.
|
323
|
What should I be doing now?
|
Neutral 50
|
The flood control pumps, remember? Without those working, we can't restore power to the mainframe.
|
324
|
Neutral 50
|
I can use the intercom system to talk you through reaching them.
|
325
|
What do we need to do right now?
|
Neutral 50
|
The Project was abandoned shortly after you were born. Things have deteriorated here since then, and there's been some flooding.
|
326
|
Neutral 50
|
I'll need you to get to the Flood Control Pumps and activate them so we can clear out the water and reach the mainframe.
|
327
|
MQ05FixPPWhatsGoal
|
What's our goal here?
|
Neutral 50
|
Eventually, I think we can get the whole facility up and running. But we'll need a G.E.C.K. for that.
|
328
|
Neutral 50
|
So we need to find a G.E.C.K. I'm hoping the Project's computer will have information on where we can locate one.
|
329
|
MQ05FixPPWhereDoIGo
|
Okay. Where do I need to go?
|
Neutral 50
|
The automatic doors sealed when the flooding occurred, so you'll have to use the access tunnels to reach the pumps.
|
330
|
MQ05FixPPWhyMe
|
Why me? Can't someone else do it?
|
Neutral 50
|
In a word? No. Everyone else has specific tasks to complete as the power comes back online.
|
331
|
Neutral 50
|
Don't worry. I'll guide you along the way as best I can using the intercom system. You'll do fine.
|
332
|

MQ05TravelPPDangerous
|
Won't that be dangerous?
|
Neutral 50
|
Probably. But we have to try, don't we? It's too important to the people of the Wasteland to let fear stop us now.
|
337
|
Neutral 50
|
We need to get moving right away. Are you coming with us?
|
338
|
MQ05TravelPPNotComing
|
I'm not going with you.
|
Neutral 50
|
Are you sure? I'm sure we could use your help.
|
339
|
Neutral 50
|
If you change your mind, you can always meet up with us along the way. If nothing else, come see me once we're set up.
|
340
|
MQ05TravelPPNow
|
You have to go now? Can't this wait?
|
Neutral 50
|
After twenty long years, I finally have a chance to make things right, to finish what I started so long ago.
|
341
|
Neutral 50
|
I owe this to Madison. I owe it to your mother. No, I can't wait another moment. Are you coming with us?

Well, here we are. Nestled all safe and snug inside Vault 101. It's so cold down here. Colder still with Catherine gone...

Oh, Catherine.... I so wish you were here with me. How the hell am I supposed to do this by myself? Live down in this hole. Take care of our child...

But this is our life now, so I guess I'd better get used to it. The Overseer who runs the place is an overbearing bully, but I've dealt with worse.
