GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
What an ugly little worm you are. What pile of excrement did the lieutenant pluck you from, worm?
|
1
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
What?
|
2
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
You don't have to do this.
|
3
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
You hit like a bedridden old woman.
|
4
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
We don't have anything to discuss, worm.
|
5
|
| GREETING
|
Anger 50
|
Enough! This is pointless. I'm dead to the Legion either way. I'll tell you what I know.
|
6
|
| Neutral 50
|
But you should know that Caesar has always kept his own counsel. He never reveals anything that would make him vulnerable.
|
7
|
| Neutral 50
|
My knowledge will not prevent the inevitable. This camp will be ash within months. Maybe weeks.
|
8
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Have you got it?
|
9
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Hit me.
|
10
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Get away from me.
|
11
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic000
|
I'm a friend of the Legion. I'm here to help.
|
Neutral 50
|
Caesar's eyes truly are everywhere. And here I thought they'd send assassins instead. Did the officer send you? {relieved}
|
12
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic001
|
<Lie> I'm with the Legion. I'm here to kill you before you talk.
|
Neutral 50
|
[?] You're nothing. You're some inept mercenary the NCR is paying to supplement its own incompetent soldiers.
|
13
|
| <Lie> I'm with the Legion. I'm here to kill you before you talk.
|
Neutral 50
|
[?] What? No! Listen, Caesar's secrets are safe with me. I stayed alive because Caesar would've wanted it. I'm useless to him dead.
|
14
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic002
|
[Speech] I think you're confused. I'm with the excrement right now.
|
Neutral 50
|
[?] You must have some reason to be in your line of work. Tell me, what did the Legion do to you?
|
15
|
| Neutral 50
|
Did we enslave your children? Slaughter your family before your eyes to teach you a lesson?
|
16
|
| Neutral 50
|
Whatever it was, I hope I was there to give the order.
|
17
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic003
|
[Speech] You... *smell* like excrement. So there.
|
Neutral 50
|
[FAILED] I must admit that a conversation with an imbecile may be far worse than the kind of torture I was anticipating.
|
18
|
| Neutral 50
|
But somehow I think I'll manage.
|
19
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic004
|
You're about to tell me everything you know, Silus.
|
Neutral 50
|
Of course, of course. All you had to do was ask. I'll tell you everything I know.
|
20
|
| Neutral 50
|
Let's see. I know that you're a brainless cretin. I know that you're wasting your time. I know the lieutenant is going to be disappointed in you. {emphasize "know" each time.}
|
21
|
| Neutral 50
|
And I know that by this time next month the streets of New Vegas will be decorated with the decaying heads of NCR soldiers.
|
22
|
| Neutral 50
|
Is there anything else you wanted to know? {smugly. emphasize "know." }
|
23
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic005
|
[Attack] Uh oh. Now you've made me angry.
|
Neutral 50
|
I can take anything you've got.
|
24
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic006
|
What officer?
|
Neutral 50
|
I don't know what name he goes by here. But I saw him when they brought me in, and I recognized him.
|
25
|
| Neutral 50
|
When I saw him last it was ages ago. He was training to be an agent of Caesar's {LATIN} frumentarii. Apparently he passed the trials. {Froo-men-tar-ee-eye}
|
26
|
| Neutral 50
|
And what a job he's done, to achieve such a rank. I have no doubt he'll deliver a crippling blow to the NCR while he's here. Perhaps many.
|
27
|
| Neutral 50
|
I have heard that he has been radioing high-level NCR intelligence back to Caesar's camp virtually every night.
|
28
|
| Neutral 50
|
But never mind that now. We don't have much time. If you can get me a weapon, the rest will be easy.
|
29
|
| What officer?
|
Neutral 50
|
In the hall outside, they still have my possessions in a locker. There's a gun in there that should be small enough to get past the lieutenant.
|
30
|
| Neutral 50
|
When she comes back, I want you to go and get it for me. Simple enough?
|
31
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic007
|
I work independently.
|
Neutral 50
|
Hmm... perhaps not, then.
|
32
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic008
|
How many agents of the Legion *are* there here?
|
Neutral 50
|
I know of only the one other. Though I wouldn't be surprised if there were a great many.
|
33
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic009
|
I understand.
|
Neutral 50
|
Good. But for her to trust you to re-enter the room, she'll need to believe you've been doing what she expects of you.
|
34
|
| Neutral 50
|
You'll need to punch me until I'm bleeding and weak. Go on. This is nothing compared to the Legion's training.
|
35
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic010
|
Go over that one more time.
|
Neutral 50
|
Very well.
|
36
|
| Go over that one more time.
|
Neutral 50
|
I don't know why I'm taking this chance on an invalid... I'll explain again.
|
37
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic011
|
[Speech] You must miss giving orders, now that all your men are dead.
|
Neutral 50
|
[?] Foot soldiers of the Legion are trained to not have to think for themselves - to have conflict removed from their minds.
|
38
|
| Neutral 50
|
They kill themselves to evade capture because they are not trusted to make such a decision rationally in the heat of battle.
|
39
|
| Neutral 50
|
But I'm no foot soldier. I knew I could escape captivity on my own, without revealing the tiniest iota of information to my captors.
|
40
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic012
|
[Speech] Sounds to me like you were too gutless to follow Caesar's orders.
|
Anger 80
|
[SUCCEEDED] I'll show you gutless, you sniveling bastard. I'll spill your guts all over this room! {Losing his cool.}
|
41
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic014
|
You're a danger to him alive. Your knowledge threatens him.
|
Neutral 50
|
[?] I've told them nothing. They've gotten nowhere. I'm a centurion, for Christ's sake. I deserve his trust.
|
42
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic015
|
Caesar's laws are absolute. He does not grant exceptions.
|
Neutral 50
|
[?] You have to let this go. I'll disappear. No one will ever see me again. That was always the plan in the first place.
|
43
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic016
|
So in addition to treason, you're also a deserter.
|
Surprise 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] No! That's not what I meant! I-
|
44
|
| Neutral 50
|
Lieutenant! This man is trying to kill me! He's not who you think he is! {calling out to the hall}
|
45
|
| So in addition to treason, you're also a deserter.
|
Surprise 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] No! That's not what I meant! I-
|
46
|
| Neutral 50
|
Lieutenant! This woman is trying to kill me! She's not who you think she is!
|
47
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic018
|
You sure talk tough for someone who's afraid to die.
|
Neutral 50
|
[?] You think I could get where I was in the Legion army if I feared death?
|
48
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic019
|
But I want to know how a coward can attain the rank of centurion.
|
Neutral 50
|
[?] Coward? I've faced odds that would make your NCR soldiers wet themselves.
|
49
|
| But I want to know how a coward can attain the rank of centurion.
|
Neutral 50
|
I've led charges against men with guns carrying only my knife, and I can tell you, it was they who feared me.
|
50
|
| Neutral 50
|
But suicide is a weak death on a battlefield. It says to your enemy that you fear capture. It says if you're caught you can be broken.
|
51
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic020
|
I'll be right back.
|
Neutral 50
|
Take your time.
|
52
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic021
|
You shouldn't have done that. I'm the only friend you have right now.
|
Neutral 50
|
[?] You've made your intentions clear. The Legion has abandoned me.
|
53
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic022
|
Did you honestly believe you could escape death?
|
Neutral 50
|
[?] If I had killed myself then I would've been murdering one of Caesar's greatest soldiers. Either choice is a betrayal of the Legion, as I see it.
|
54
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic023
|
Oh, but I do, Silus. Unlike you, I follow Caesar's orders.
|
Anger 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] I've done everything Caesar ever asked of me, and this is how I am repaid? With assassination?
|
55
|
| Neutral 50
|
I ambushed countless NCR patrols and wiped them out so that our operatives could move freely.
|
56
|
| Neutral 50
|
I waited for him to dispatch us for three days, never questioning why the "headaches" he complained of would hinder his ability to command.
|
57
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic025
|
[Attack] Lucky you. You can borrow my dentures when I knock all your teeth out.
|
Neutral 50
|
It'll take more than that to get me to talk, worm.
|
58
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic026
|
If his empire falls, it'll probably be because his centurions are so gullible.
|
Neutral 50
|
What? What do you mean?
|
59
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic028
|
I'll be the judge of that. Let's hear what you've got to say.
|
Neutral 50
|
Something is wrong with Caesar. Something he is attempting to hide from his men. But it was obvious before we set out on this last mission.
|
60
|
| Neutral 50
|
For three days, we awaited his order to dispatch us. Three days. But he hid in his tent, refusing to give orders. Complaining of headaches.
|
61
|
| Neutral 50
|
He looks different now than he used to. His face is sunken, sickly. But any questioning of his health enrages him.
|
62
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic029
|
[Attack] If you've got any last words, you'd better say them now, Legion scum.
|
Neutral 50
|
{LATIN} Cedo nulli. {SAY-dough NOO-lee. "I yield to no one." Said defiantly through gritted teeth.}
|
63
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic030
|
You've been tricked, Silus. I'm working with the NCR. I just got you to talk.
|
Anger 80
|
No! You slimy bastard! {outrage - realizing he's been tricked.}
|
64
|
| You've been tricked, Silus. I'm working with the NCR. I just got you to talk.
|
Anger 80
|
No! You cursed bitch! {outrage - realizing he's been tricked. "Cursed" is said with two syllables here.}
|
65
|
| You've been tricked, Silus. I'm working with the NCR. I just got you to talk.
|
Neutral 50
|
Nothing I've said will change the outcome for you. No force can hold back the tide of the Legion. This camp and everyone in it will burn.
|
66
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic031
|
And if you can't go through with it, you look even weaker.
|
Anger 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] You think I'm going to slit my throat for some megalomaniacal self-appointed dictator?
|
67
|
| Neutral 50
|
I didn't work my way up to have it all be taken from me out of some irrational paranoia. Caesar's losing it. I believe that.
|
68
|
| Neutral 50
|
He's been shutting himself in his tent. Privately, he complains of headaches. Whatever it is, it's affecting his ability to lead.
|
69
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic034
|
I think I've heard all I need to. You've been very helpful.
|
Neutral 50
|
I hope the Legion burns your wretched body at the stake when they conquer this place.
|
70
|
| Neutral 50
|
Nothing I could tell you would do anything to stop that.
|
71
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic035
|
Who's the operative?
|
Neutral 50
|
I don't know. I know he sends intelligence by radio in the middle of the night. Sometimes that intelligence would find its way to my century.
|
72
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic036
|
I don't believe you. You're lying.
|
Neutral 50
|
Then you're a fool. That man reports to Caesar on what I do here. The Legion isn't going to take me back.
|
73
|
| Neutral 50
|
My only hope is to escape and disappear. But if I escape and he reports it, they'll hunt me down as long as I live.
|
74
|
| Neutral 50
|
It'd serve me to report him as much as it'd serve you.
|
75
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic037
|
Maybe I'll beat some more useful information out of you.
|
Neutral 50
|
Beat me all you like, but it won't make my information any more useful. You can take what I have or leave it.
|
76
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic038
|
There must be more you can tell me.
|
Neutral 50
|
There is one other thing that may interest you. I know that Caesar has planted a spy here.
|
77
|
| Neutral 50
|
Every night details of NCR troop movements are broadcast from a radio on this base to Caesar's camp.
|
78
|
| Neutral 50
|
The spy has been here a long time - since before the entire conflict began. He's an officer.
|
79
|
| Neutral 50
|
If I knew who he was, I would tell you. If I escape and he's alive to report it, the Legion would hunt me down.
|
80
|
| Neutral 50
|
But like I said, none of this information will change the outcome for you. No force can hold back the tide of the Legion.
|
81
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic039
|
Yes, I have it here.
|
Neutral 50
|
Good! Give it to me.
|
82
|
| Neutral 50
|
I'm going to pretend to be unconscious. Let them send you out so no one suspects you.
|
83
|
| Neutral 50
|
When I'm alone with a guard, I'll shoot him and leave in his uniform.
|
84
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic040
|
No, not yet.
|
Neutral 50
|
Hurry!
|
85
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic042
|
[Attack] Then I may as well beat you to death for personal satisfaction.
|
Neutral 50
|
Let's see you try.
|
86
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic046
|
<Continue Listening>
|
Neutral 50
|
Time was essential for my mission, but we waited three days for him to dispatch us. Another of his headaches. Does that sound like a man in command?
|
87
|
| Neutral 50
|
He has an operative planted in this very base, but does he use his agent to rescue me? No.
|
88
|
| Neutral 50
|
He's content to have the agent spend his nights radioing troop positions back to our base camp. He knows I'm here, and he's left me to rot.
|
89
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic047
|
<Continue Listening>
|
Neutral 50
|
I haven't breathed a word about the officer we planted here - he continues to radio intelligence to Caesar's camp nearly every night.
|
90
|
| Neutral 50
|
I've proven my loyalty. All you're doing is killing a loyal soldier. If that's Caesar's policy, then I say his empire will crumble.
|
91
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic048
|
I'm with the Legion. I'm here to kill you before you talk.
|
Neutral 50
|
What? No! Listen, Caesar's secrets are safe with me. I stayed alive because Caesar would've wanted it. I'm useless to him dead.
|
92
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic049
|
[Attack] Caesar's laws are absolute. He does not grant exceptions.
|
Neutral 50
|
Then he's a fool! {enraged}
|
93
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic050
|
Very well. I'll try and help you.
|
Neutral 50
|
I knew you'd be reasonable. Now... how did you find me? Did the officer send you?
|
94
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2SilusTopic051
|
But not to me. I'll sever your head and carry it with me always - a message to would-be traitors.
|
Neutral 50
|
No! Stay away from me!
|
95
