Disgust 10

{Act 1 Start - Contemptuous, commanding} Are you listening? Good. From now on, when I talk, {emph} listen - and follow my instructions. {When player awakes in Villa, Elijah hologram materializes and speaks, like floating head in Wizard of Oz.}

Play stupid, play clever, make the mistake of saying "no?" That collar on your neck'll go off and take your head with it. {Slow, brutal, clear.}

Disgust 10

{Act 1 incomplete} You've returned. Why? Gather the three as I've instructed, then I will have more for you - {emph} not before. {When player awakes in Villa, Elijah hologram materializes and speaks, like floating head in Wizard of Oz.}

{Act 2 Start - Pleased} Good, well done... now, for the festivities, {colder} and your parts in all this. {AUDIO: Hologram Head at Fountain. Next instructions for Act 2 Gala: Initially pleased, then brutal, contemptuous, clear. Goal: Player = Good Dog.}

| Disgust 10
|
The owner of the Sierra Madre... {disgusted, thinks this was an idiotic move} for whatever reason... keyed the Grand Opening to the Gala Event itself. {Irritated at this, this makes no sense to him as a scientist. It's what happens when you put fools in charge of things, grumble, grumble.}
|

|
| Anger 10
|
It needs to be fired off in order for the casino doors to open. {Grumbles} As I've discovered, {emph} one person can't do it.

So, get your team into position indicated on your Pip-Boy, then trigger it properly. {Firm.}

You're so close now, don't let me down. {Beat} Otherwise, I'll have to rely on the {emph} next team. {Slightly less brutal in first sentence, then can't help himself for the second sentence and ends up resuming being a dick.}

Surprise 10
|
{Slight anticipation, he's not used to doing anything more than bark orders} You. You're in the vault... finally. {Slightly incredulous, rasping laugh, then quiet, almost reverent} After all this time. The Sierra Madre... mine.

|
| Anger 10
|
{Becomes protective} Don't move, don't go into the vault. {Realizes what that means} And don't {emph} touch anything else... {cold} there may be more traps down there... {snarling, hates he has to wait} another security system.

{TAUNT: Cold, final battle is imminent} I'm coming down - I'll meet you face to face at the vault entrance. {Warning} If you resist, I'll use the collar, even if it puts the vault at risk.

Neutral 10

{COMPLIANT IN CONTROL: Sense of entitlement, in control} I'm coming down - I'll meet you face to face at the vault entrance. {Warning} No tricks. If you prove troublesome, well... {smiles, slow} there's always the collar.

{ANGRY IN CONTROL: Cold, final battle is imminent} I'm coming down, forget the Sierra Madre security, I'll find you myself. {Warning} Try to break into the vault, I'll set off the collar.

{Pauses, respects this, cautious} Curious? You must be. We have time, now that you've done your work. {To himself} And our interactions have been too one-sided, even for my tastes.

{Takes a breath, resets tone} Ask! {Beat} You still have time.

Disgust 10
|
This is the place you need to go when everyone is in place. {Quiet} Until then... nothing more than a diseased view of the Sierra Madre. {Slight disgust for the casino, he only cares about it when it's about to be triggered. AUDIO: Hear this over a speaker.}

Can you hear me...? Damn transceivers... {To himself} let me link the collars to the speaker in the tower... then... there. {Anticipation, this is the big moment. AUDIO: Hear this over a speaker.}

I've left markers on your Pip-Boy - find the three other collars in town - 8, 12, and 14, get them to the Fountain. Obey me, and you can {emph} all go free. {Slow, brutal, clear.}

The bell tower. That's where you'll trigger the Gala Event. It's a ways up. I'm sure you'll find a way to climb up there.

{Curious, distant} Oh... it seems the casino has uninvited guests... the Villa inhabitants were pounding at the doors - now they've found a way inside.

What are these Holograms?
|
Neutral 50
|
{Thinking} Ghosts... they fill the Villa. {Beat} More in the Casino... much more. {AUDIO: Floating Hologram Head Projection at Fountain. }
|
58
|
| Neutral 50
|
They carry out the functions the dead once did. They cannot be harmed... they only perform the same rote tasks until their power dies.
|
59
|
| Neutral 50
|
They are of no consequence - except for the Security Holograms, the ones with the silhouettes of the armored Sierra Madre guards.
|
60
|
| NVDLC01ElijahDialogueNVDLC01ElijahProxyOldTopic001
|
Why?
|
Neutral 50
|
Most Holograms perform specific functions. The Security Holograms, ever since the bombs fell, now perform {emph} their function. {AUDIO: Floating Hologram Head Projection at Fountain. }
|
61
|
| Anger 50
|
{Cold, serious} They will kill anyone they detect. {Frustrated} They are immune to guns, weapons, EMPs... even energy weapons. Still, they have limitations.
|
62
|
| Neutral 50
|
Their design limits their field of view, enough to avoid detection.
|
63
|
| Neutral 50
|
Each has an emitter - destroy or disable it, and they cease to be a threat.
|
64
|
| Neutral 50
|
{Less authoritative here, more reflective/rueful} Still... at least {emph} they still work as intended. Other technology here is more of a threat to you... notably, the Villa's radios and speakers.
|
65
|
| NVDLC01ElijahDialogueNVDLC01ElijahProxyTopic000
|
Who are you?
|
Neutral 50
|
Someone who followed the call of the Sierra Madre, just as you did. Now that I've found it's more than a story... I intend to take what's inside. {AUDIO: Floating Hologram Head Projection at Fountain. }
|
66

| Neutral 50

Maybe that's why you came. Why you followed the Pip-Boy here... and straight into one of my traps. {Beat, cold} Now, this is your reward.

How are you speaking to me?

{Slight contempt} Confused? {Cold} Don't be. I'm commandeering the hologram technology of the Villa. {AUDIO: Floating Hologram Head Projection at Fountain. }

|
Numbers, equations, circuits... all can be controlled, provided there's a connection, and the knowledge to use it.

This Villa, the casino... a treasure trove of such devices. The Holograms included.

Who are these people I'm gathering?

Collar? What are you talking about?

Neutral 50

{Slow taunt, contempt of Pip-Boy} It's like that Pip-Boy on your wrist, except filled with explosives. {Smug, to himself} A little radio of the Old World, just needed some tuning. {Pip-Boy = Wrist tech that guides the player. AUDIO: Floating Hologram Head Projection at Fountain.}
|
75

Do what I say, and the collar won't go off... refuse, try and run, {emph} disobey me? I'll kill you and find someone else.

|
78
|

{Beat, here's the catch} But to get inside, avoid its traps... you'll need to gather the team. {Beat, frustrated} As I've found, one cannot do it alone.
|
79
|
| What do you want?
|
Neutral 50
|
{Cold, clear, these are the "rules"} Around the Villa are three other collars like yours - Collar 8, 12, and 14. Find all three and get them here, to the Fountain. Then, we'll talk more. {AUDIO: Floating Hologram Head Projection at Fountain. }

Perhaps it's the Cloud... perhaps something in their physiology.

| NVDLC01ElijahDialogueNVDLC01ElijahTopic009

Why is my vision blurring?
|
Neutral 50
|
It is the Cloud covering the Villa. The longer you are outside, the more its toxins seep into your system... through the lungs {emph} and the skin. {AUDIO: Floating Hologram Head Projection at Fountain. }
|
96
|
| Neutral 50
|
It will eat at you the longer you are outside... so wherever you go, move fast, or you'll soon find yourself too weak to move.
|
97
|
| Why is my vision blurring?
|
Neutral 50
|
It is the Cloud that surrounds the Villa. It shouldn't prove lethal in the time you are here... prolonged exposure would be hazardous, however. {AUDIO: Floating Hologram Head Projection at Fountain. }
|
98
|
| Why is my vision blurring?

Where is my gear?
|
Anger 20
|
{Low anger, this is frustrating} The Sierra Madre has many... defenses, means of screening guests for illicit or dangerous items. Your arrival here, weaponless, was {emph} not my intention. {AUDIO: Floating Hologram Head Projection at Fountain. }
|
100
|
| Neutral 50
|
The Casino, this Villa... it takes anything with even a trace of radioactivity, traces of unknown substances... and returns it home. The bunker.
|
101
|
| Disgust 50
|
The process is automated, and the casino itself has other, similar "services." I was unable to find a workaround, except to send others in as tools.

|
Will exposure kill me?
|
Neutral 50
|
{Hardcore Only} No... while it will erode your health, {need to be clear, slow, here} it will only bring you to the point of death, no farther. At that point... {AUDIO: Floating Hologram Head Projection at Fountain. }
|
103
|
| Will exposure kill me?
|
Neutral 50
|
The air here is lethal only if you enter concentrated pockets of the Cloud. Too long inside one, you'll die, so be careful where you step. {AUDIO: Floating Hologram Head Projection at Fountain. }
|
104
|
| Neutral 50
|
I've seen some survive concentration of the Cloud for short periods of time if healthy enough - others were too weak.
|
105
|
| Disgust 50
|
Rebreathers, chemical suits... there is no protection against it, it decays all it touches. {Beat, slight anger} I've found fighting it useless.

|
Radios and speakers?
|
Neutral 50
|
{Building irritation} Yes, music was intended to be broadcast all over the Villa... over time, however, the radio signal has decayed and emits a different frequency. {AUDIO: Floating Hologram Head Projection at Fountain. }
|
107
|
| Neutral 50
|
Speakers and radios interfere with the bomb collar frequency, and can trigger the detonators... prematurely.
|
108
|
| Neutral 50
|
It is an unfortunate side effect, one I did not anticipate. I was unable to calibrate the collars to block the signals - so you'll have to make do.

It only takes putting a collar on one to begin the chain. One with a collar may chain another. And that one, another. Had traps all over the wastes.

The chain ends with the super mutant. Although with him... the collar wasn't even necessary. He only needed... guidance.

All right. So find the other three people with bomb collars, bring them back here?

{Thinking, reflective} Although there's a great deal of interference at the source. Perhaps that's why I lost contact with him.

No matter, aside from Collar 8, there should be weapons, armor at the police station. Go West, avoid the Villa inhabitants, bring the mutant back.

How am I supposed to find them?

{Authoritative, contempt for RobCo tech} Your piece of RobCo trash will help you, I've ensured it. It can latch on to the signal of the collars... {AUDIO: Floating Hologram Head Projection at Fountain. }

|
...and tune into their frequencies. The bomb collars come with radios embedded in them. You can eavesdrop easily.

It was part of their design... to listen in. They can even screen out white noise from the environment to allow greater monitoring.

Any suggestions for who I should get first?
|
Neutral 50

Yes... {Lower, dismissive, like talking about a mule} Collar 8, the FEV reject, the Super Mutant. He's docile, predictable, and provided he's not starving, should be easy to command. {AUDIO: Floating Hologram Head Projection at Fountain. }
|
124
|

{Frowning, not sure why this is} I lost contact with him some time ago... probably after he dragged you here from the trap. Find him, he'll follow you, collar or no.

What's FEV?

{Dismissive, throw away the line} A long story. FEV... a virus with an even longer story... it gave birth to the docile one, turned him into a Super Mutant long ago. {AUDIO: Floating Hologram Head Projection at Fountain. }

The Villa is filled with corpses. Some killed by the dangers here, some by me. Others... turned on each other.

Some tried to help... left supplies and healing for others who came. Their reward? They were tracked down, killed by others with baser instincts.

Some of these murderers went as far as to leave traps behind them... turning markers for help into deathtraps for anyone following them.

It killed some of them when they forgot where the traps lay... or when they desperately needed the assistance they had cut others off from.

If they're Pre-War tech, where did you get them?

{Thinking back} A place far from here, called the Big Empty. {Beat, to himself} Almost didn't make it out.

The Holorifle, the Saturnite alloy... the hologram technology, hibernation chambers, Securitrons, the collars...

The Madre's {emph} all these things. It's a fortress and a weapon. {Derisive} A chance... to... "begin again."

The Cloud is unique in my travels. Its proximity to the Sierra Madre isn't a coincidence.

Right now it protects this casino, preserves it. {Beat} It can be used to preserve other Old World relics - and cleanse them, at the same time. {Suggesting the toxic cloud could be harnessed as a weapon.}

And as much as I've researched hologram technology, the Big Empty facility was clear - only the Sierra Madre got Holograms working... properly.

Properly? Are you kidding me?

The Holograms here kill trespassers. That's what I want. Dump one of those emitters in the middle of {emph} any battle, there's no defense.

No, there is one last thing I want from the Sierra Madre. Its bounty. The machines that fill its streets, its corridors.

They provide, provide almost anything. Perhaps in the Pre-War era, they were commonplace, things to dismiss.

He must have found you in one of them. If so, he's probably forgotten - he only remembers my voice.
