| 188ClayThoughtsHow | Will you sign this formal letter asking the NCR to take control of Primm? | Neutral 50 | So you convinced those NCR sons of bitches to take an interest, did you? Well, we need the help. I'll sign. | 1 |
| CaravanOffer | Want to play a hand of Caravan? | Neutral 50 | You think you have what it takes, kid? | 2 |
| GREETING | GREETING | Neutral 50 | I don't know what it was brought you to Primm, youngster, but you might want to rethink your plans. Town's gone to hell. | 3 |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | {New Line} You got that old robot up and running again? How is it working out for you? | 4 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Hey, youngster. Still hanging about Primm, huh? | 5 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Heard it was you brought the law back to Primm, youngster. Hat's off to you. | 6 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Primm had rule of law for the blink of an eye, but now we're back where we started. | 7 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Hey there, youngster. | 8 | |
| JNashAboutBisonSteve What's the Bison Steve? |
What's the Bison Steve? | Neutral 50 | It's an old hotel and casino here in town. Old Laurie used to rent out rooms there, but she took off months ago. | 9 |
| Neutral 50 | Across the way from the Vikki and Vance, the other old casino. Can't miss it. | 10 | ||
| JNashAboutLaw | You say Powder Gangers kidnapped Primm's deputy? | Neutral 50 | Well, you can call Beagle a deputy so long as you don't harbor too high an opinion of the word. | 11 |
| Neutral 50 | Boy was 'bout as useful as tits on a radscorpion. Only qualification he ever had was to be brother to the wife of the sheriff. | 12 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Still, I s'pose he don't deserve what's befell him. We would've considered paying the ransom, if we'd had caps to spare. | 13 | ||
| I rescued Deputy Beagle. | Neutral 50 | {Sarcasm} I feel safer already. {harrumphs} Meanwhile, there's still more of them Powder Gangers out there than I care to count. | 14 | |
| Neutral 50 | What we need around here is a real sheriff. Someone who can help fight off the next attack. | 15 | ||
| I freed Deputy Beagle and killed the Powder Gangers. | Neutral 50 | Kind of too bad you didn't do it the other way around! {chuckles} Primm ain't got no future until rule of law comes back to town. | 16 | |
| I'll find Primm a new sheriff. | Neutral 50 | Finally decided to make yourself useful, huh? If you can bring the law back to Primm, we'll all be in your debt. | 17 | |
| JNashAboutPrimm | What happened to Primm? | Neutral 50 | Let's see. Been tough around here for a good while now. Worse since them thugs kidnapped our deputy. | 18 |
| Neutral 50 | It started with that breakout from the prison up the road. First there was just a few thugs rolling through town, but then they got organized. | 19 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Now they call themselves Powder Gangsters or something, and run around throwing dynamite and shooting people. | 20 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Little while ago a good chunk of them left whatever kind of organization they got up there to squeeze all the food and drink out of us they could. | 21 | ||
| JNashAboutVikkiVance | What's at Vikki and Vance? | Neutral 50 | That's where we are. This here little casino brought some cash and bodies into the town before them Powder Gangsters came in. | 22 |
| Anger 15 | They can't rush us without eating a good bit of hot lead, but we are in kind of a box canyon. Guess this is as fitting a place for that as any. | 23 | ||
| Neutral 50 | I reckon if they thought hard enough about it, they'd realize they got more bodies than we have bullets, but for now we're safe enough in here. | 24 | ||
| JNashBarter | Do you have anything for sale? | Neutral 50 | Sure, have a look. | 25 |
| Do you have anything for sale? | Neutral 50 | Well yes and no. My shop's got plenty of stock. | 26 | |
| Neutral 50 | Problem is I ain't going into my shop until I know it's good and safe. | 27 | ||
| Do you have anything for sale? | Neutral 50 | Give me a moment to get back to my shop and I'll show you my stock. | 28 | |
| Do you have anything for sale? | Neutral 50 | Things are pretty good with Meyers watching over us. I can give you a little bit of a discount. | 29 | |
| Do you have anything for sale? | Neutral 50 | Yep, and I got more ammunition now that the NCR keeps supplies flowing in. | 30 | |
| Neutral 50 | On the other hand I'm payin' them NCR taxes, so now you got to as well. | 31 | ||
| JNashChipInfo | Can you help me find the package I lost? | Neutral 50 | You take care of our problems here and I'll give you the information that you need. | 32 |
| Neutral 50 | Them Powder Gangsters got our deputy locked up in the Bison Steve. Be nice to get him out of there... but this town's gonna need some real law. | 33 | ||
| Neutral 50 | One of the first things them punks did when they came in was to kill our sheriff. You find us a new one and we can talk. | 34 | ||
| JNashChipInfoDUPLICATE000 | Where can I get information on the man that shot me? | Neutral 50 | {edited line} Beagle had some notes he was taking while he was eavesdropping around the Powder Gangsters. He'll be your best source of information on that subject. | 35 |
| JNashCourier | I'm a courier with the Mojave Express. | Happy 10 | Well, I don't got any work right now, sorry to say. | 36 |
| I lost a package I was supposed to deliver. | Neutral 50 | {edited line} I'll tell you whatever I can. Do you have a delivery order you can show me? | 37 | |
| JNashHowLaw | How can I bring rule of law back to Primm? | Neutral 50 | You done everything you could, youngster. It's over for Primm. Ain't nothing to be done about it. | 38 |
| Your deputy died in Bison Steve. | Neutral 50 | {edited line} Well I guess you're gonna have to find us a new lawman. | 39 | |
| Neutral 50 | I suggest talking to those NCR troopers across the bridge. I also overheard the Powder Gangsters talking about some ex-sheriff on lockdown there. | 40 | ||
| What can I do to help Primm? | Neutral 50 | Right now Beagle is the closest Primm's got to any organized law, but he's still stuck up in Bison Steve. | 41 | |
| Neutral 50 | First thing I'd say his get his sorry butt outta there. | 42 | ||
| How can I help bring rule of law back to Primm? | Neutral 50 | Your guess is good as mine. You might luck upon someone who's a natural-born sheriff. | 43 | |
| Neutral 50 | I heard of one fella what got himself locked in that NCR jailhouse up I-15. Maybe that ain't the best credential, but a sheriff's a sheriff. | 44 | ||
| Neutral 50 | I imagine the NCR would be able to bring some law to the town, too. But from what I seen they barely got the firepower to protect themselves. | 45 | ||
| How can I bring back rule of law to Primm? | Neutral 50 | With the NCR driven off? I figure our only hope'd be for someone like you to find us someone who's crazy or dimwitted enough to take the job. | 46 | |
| How can I bring rule of law back to Primm? | Neutral 50 | With Meyers dead and his deputies gone, Primm's only hope is to accept NCR rule. If you run across one of their patrols, tell 'em so. | 47 | |
| JNashInfo100Caps | I don't have 100 caps on me. | Neutral 50 | Well, come back and see me after you find some caps somewheres and put 'em on you! | 48 |
| Here's your 100 caps. | Neutral 50 | Well, I swore not to say a word, but an NCR deserter passed through some days ago and traded for supplies. | 49 | |
| Neutral 50 | According to him, the NCR's decided enough's enough and's going to send in a mess of troops to take back the prison any day now. | 50 | ||
| JNashInfoBarter No, but it's worth 50 caps. |
I could see giving you 50 caps, maybe. | Neutral 50 | [SUCCEEDED] I guess that'll do. | 51 |
| Neutral 50 | I swore not to say a word to no one, but an NCR deserter passed through some days ago and traded for supplies. | 52 | ||
| Neutral 50 | According to him, the NCR's decided enough's enough and's going to send in a mess of troops to take back the prison any day now. | 53 | ||
| No way I'd pay more than 20 caps to know more. | Neutral 50 | [FAILED] Then I guess you won't be knowing more, eh? But you know where to find me, should you change your mind. | 54 | |
| JNashInfoNoThanks | No thanks. | Neutral 50 | If you change your mind, you know where to find me. | 55 |
| JNashInfoSpeech Player tries to use Speech to learn about NCR activities |
If the NCR won't deal with those prisoners, I'll have to risk doing it myself. | Fear 50 | [SUCCEEDED] Hold on there! With everything you already done for this town, I'd feel ungrateful as hell if I let you risk yourself for no good reason! | 56 |
| Neutral 50 | He made me swear not to say a word to no one, but an NCR deserter passed through some days ago and traded for supplies. | 57 | ||
| Neutral 50 | According to him, the NCR's decided enough's enough and's going to send in a mess of troops to take back the prison any day now. | 58 | ||
| I only ask politely the first time, old man. Now tell me. | Fear 50 | [SUCCEEDED] No need to get upset, youngster! We're all friends here! | 59 | |
| Neutral 50 | I swore not to say a word to no one, but an NCR deserter passed through some days ago and traded for supplies. | 60 | ||
| Neutral 50 | According to him, the NCR's decided enough's enough and's going to send in a mess of troops to take back the prison any day now. | 61 | ||
| Um, tell me free or... I mean, can't you just tell me? Please? | Fear 50 | [FAILED] Sorry, youngster. I'm a trader, and if something's got value, I can't give it away for nothing. | 62 | |
| JNashNews What's going on in Primm? |
How's Primm these days? | Neutral 50 | We got rule of law again, but of the martial variety. NCR orders us around like junior soldiers. Better than lawlessness, though. | 63 |
| How's Primm these days? | Neutral 50 | Got a new sheriff, as you know. Meyer's a bit rougher-hewn than I might've liked, but he seems like a good sort. So far, so good. | 64 | |
| JNashPowderGangster | Why do you keep calling them Gangsters? I thought they were called Powder Gangers. | Neutral 50 | Gangers, gangsters, all sounds like trouble to me. | 65 |
| JNashWhoAreYou | Who are you? | Neutral 50 | Johnson Nash's my name. Husband to Ruby Nash. Lived in Primm going on eight years now, thick and thin. | 66 |
| Neutral 50 | I'm a trader primarily, for what it's worth with things like they are. I also run the local Mojave Express outpost. | 67 | ||
| PrimmNashDeliveryTopic | What can you tell me about this job? <Show Delivery Order> | Neutral 50 | Oh, so you're talking about one of {emph} them packages. That job had strange written all over it. But we couldn't turn down the caps. | 68 |
| I want to ask you some more about the delivery I was supposed to make. | Neutral 50 | Sure. I'll tell you what I know. | 69 | |
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic000 | I have some questions about Primm. | Neutral 50 | Well,{deep breath} I'll answer what I can. | 70 |
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic001 | I have some more questions about Primm. | Neutral 50 | Ask away. | 71 |
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic002 | I'd like to ask you about something else. | Neutral 50 | I guess I don't have anywhere better to be. | 72 |
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic003 | Goodbye. | Neutral 50 | Don't go getting yourself shot. | 73 |
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic004 | What about Primm Slim? Could he be sheriff? | Neutral 50 | Well I guess I never thought of that. I guess he could be sheriff, if you think he could be reprogrammed for it. | 74 |
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic007 | I have some questions about your robot. | Neutral 50 | {New Line} That beat up old thing? What do you want to know? | 75 |
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic008 | Do you know where I can find the courier office? | Neutral 50 | Sure do. I run the courier office out of my shop. Leastaways I did before things went to hell around here. | 76 |
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic009 | What was strange about it? | Neutral 50 | That cowboy robot had us hire six couriers. Each was carrying something a little different. A pair of dice, a chess piece, that kind of stuff. | 77 |
| Neutral 50 | Last word I had from the office, it looked like payment had been received for the other five jobs. Guess it was just your chip that didn't make it. | 78 | ||
| Anger 25 | {Irritated} First deadbeat{disgust} we hired to do the job canceled. Hope a storm from the Divide skins him alive. {Beat, calms himself} Well, that's where you came in. | 79 | ||
| What was strange about it? | Neutral 50 | To start with, it was a robot that set it up! Came rolling in with a picture of a cowboy on a screen where its face should be. | 80 | |
| Neutral 50 | Had me send a request to the Express office in Hub, for seven couriers to be hired. Each one to carry {beat, deciding on right word, emphasis} bric-a-brac, seemed to me! | 81 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Playing cards, dice, chess pieces, trinkets like that. Then, next thing I know, he turns around and says he wants six couriers, not seven! | 82 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Has me send on the "corrected" order for six couriers along with a bunch of letters and numbers, like some kind of code or something! | 83 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Don't ask me what that was about, {cuz} because I never seen anything like it. {realizing} Anyways, you must've been Courier 6, then? The Poker Chip? | 84 | ||
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic010 | Some men stole my package. A man in a checkered suit and some thugs. Did they pass this way? | Neutral 50 | {edited line} Well, now that you mention it, a few nights back one of the townies was out scavenging for supplies. | 85 |
| Neutral 50 | He said he saw a fella with a daisy suit come through with some of them Great Khan misfits. They was talking about a chip. | 86 | ||
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic011 | Where did it come from? | Neutral 50 | {New Line} A courier dropped it off a couple months back. I got it working for a little while, but the darn thing pooped out. | 87 |
| Neutral 50 | {New Line} I haven't been able to get it up and running again. I was hoping to use it for some courier work, but that ain't gonna happen. | 88 | ||
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic012 | What is wrong with it? | Neutral 50 | {New Line} Hell if I know. I don't think its serious, but my tinkering days are long gone. | 89 |
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic013 | Do you mind if I try to fix it? | Neutral 50 | {New Line} You're welcome to try. Its yours if you can get it working. | 90 |
| Neutral 50 | {New Line} If I had my way I'd dump it in the scrapyard in Novac and be done with the damn thing. | 91 | ||
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic014 | One of those men shot me. I need to know the best way to get to them. | Neutral 50 | {edited line} Well for that your best bet is going to be talking to Deputy Beagle. | 92 |
| Neutral 50 | Since they came to town he was keeping a good bit of notes on them, and he was slinking around Bison Steve when your pretty-boy friend came through. | 93 | ||
| Neutral 50 | He may have heard where they were going. | 94 | ||
| One of those men shot me. I need to know the best way to get to them. | Neutral 50 | {edited line} Deputy Beagle would have been your best bet, before he met that tragic end. | 95 | |
| Neutral 50 | Since they came to town he was keeping a good bit of notes on them, and he was slinking around Bison Steve when your pretty-boy friend came through. | 96 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Maybe you can track down whatever notes he was keeping and find some thing to help you there. | 97 | ||
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic015 | Cowboy robot? You mean the one over there? | Neutral 50 | Nope. Different fella. Bigger. Had himself a face on a screen, and he talked more like you or me. | 98 |
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic016 | Cowboy robot? You mean Primm Slim? | Neutral 50 | Nope. Different fella. Bigger. Had himself a face on a screen, and he talked more like you or me. | 99 |
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic017 How do you know that? |
He canceled? | Neutral 50 | {Confused, whole thing was strange, slow} Yeah, got this look when he saw you next down on the Courier list. His expression turned right around, asked me if your name was for real. {Previous text below} | 100 |
| Neutral 50 | {Delivered as "right as rain"} I said, sure as lack of rain, you were still kicking. {Beat, slightly incredulous} Then he turned down the job, just like that. I asked if he was sure, it was good money. {Previous text below} | 101 | ||
| Neutral 50 | {Slow, foreshadowing} No, let {emph} "Courier Six" carry the package, that's what he said - like the Mojave'd sort you out or something. Then he just up and walked out. | 102 | ||
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic018 What are you talking about? |
Do you know who he was? Where he went? | Neutral 50 | No idea. Sounds like you two had a history for him to act like that. And turn down the money, too. {Previous Text Below.} | 103 |
| Neutral 50 | Hope he didn't see any trouble in that package of yours. Maybe he thought your name was bad luck. Not for me to say. | 104 | ||
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic019 | I have some questions about ED-E. | Neutral 50 | {New Line} That beat up old pile of bolts? What do you want to know? | 105 |
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic020 | Where did it come from? | Neutral 50 | {New Line} A courier dropped it off a little bit ago. I'd hoped to get it up and running for some courier work, but never could get it running. | 106 |
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic021 | Did you ever hear it say anything odd? | Neutral 50 | {New Line} Can't say that I have, of course I never saw it running for long, so I never heard it do much of anything. | 107 |
| PrimmNashDialoguePrimmJohnsonNashTopic022 | Any idea what I should do with it? | Neutral 50 | {New Line} Not a bit. I imagine there must be some people around curious about that kind of technology. | 108 |
| VEndingPrimm | VEndingPrimm | Neutral 50 | {Narrating} Primm, already torn apart by Powder Gangers, was dealt a killing blow by the Courier. | 109 |
| Neutral 50 | Though prospectors pick through the remains of the town from time to time, no one re-establishes it as a settlement. | 110 | ||
| VEndingPrimm | Neutral 50 | {Narrating} After Hoover Dam, NCR helps rebuild Primm as a major stopping point on the Long 15. | 111 | |
| Neutral 50 | Though Primm's citizens chafe under NCR's taxes, they benefit greatly from the increased protection and merchant traffic. | 112 | ||
| VEndingPrimm | Neutral 50 | {Narrating} Despite NCR's pledge to support Primm, they abandon the town after their loss to Mr. House. | 113 | |
| Neutral 50 | As repayment for their NCR loyalty, Mr. House sends Securitrons to Primm to "protect" it and collect heavy taxes from its citizens. | 114 | ||
| VEndingPrimm | Neutral 50 | {Narrating} Despite NCR's pledge to support Primm, they abandon the town after their loss to Caesar. | 115 | |
| Neutral 50 | Though Caesar keeps Primm open for business, its citizens live under the constant watch of Legion soldiers. | 116 | ||
| VEndingPrimm | Neutral 50 | {Narrating} Despite NCR's pledge to support Primm, they abandon the town after their loss to the Courier. | 117 | |
| Neutral 50 | Independent again, Primm operates much as it had before the Powder Gangs arrived: full of ups and downs. | 118 | ||
| VEndingPrimm | Neutral 50 | {Narrating} After Hoover Dam, Sheriff Meyers runs Primm with his own style of frontier justice. | 119 | |
| Neutral 50 | He deals with most folks fairly, but now and then someone winds up dead with little to no evidence against them. | 120 | ||
| VEndingPrimm | Neutral 50 | {Narrating} Hot-headed to the end, Sheriff Meyers choose to oppose Caesar's takeover of Primm with a standoff. | 121 | |
| Neutral 50 | Though the citizens take out a few Legionaries, the town quickly falls to Caesar, its citizens utterly wiped out. | 122 | ||
| VEndingPrimm | Neutral 50 | {Narrating} Primm Slim proves to be an able-minded, if not able-bodied, sheriff for Primm. | 123 | |
| Neutral 50 | Due to his slow speed, some crooks get away without a scratch, but Primm continues to prosper under his watchful robotic eye. | 124 | ||
| VEndingPrimm | Neutral 50 | {Narrating} Not understanding the gravity of the Legion's imminent takeover of Primm, Sheriff Primm Slim valiantly attempts to resist Caesar's will. | 125 | |
| VMS02AnyNPCAboutNCR Any idea what the NCR's up to in Primm? |
Do you know if the NCR is planning to attack the prison north of here? | Neutral 50 | I might know something. But my memory ain't what it used to be. Sometimes it needs motivating. | 126 |
| I still want to know if the NCR is planning to attack the prison. | Neutral 50 | Ain't that a coincidence! My mind's still hazy on the subject. | 127 | |
| Do you know if the NCR is planning to attack the prison north of here? | Neutral 50 | I might know something. 'Bout 100 caps worth of something, let's say? | 128 | |
| I still want to know if the NCR is planning to attack the prison. | Neutral 50 | What a coincidence! I'd still like my 100 caps! | 129 |
