FollowersAcknowledgeMyOrder | FollowersAcknowledgeMyOrder | Neutral 50 | I buy that. | 1 |
FollowersFired | It's time for us to part ways. | Neutral 50 | Why does everyone always say that? | 2 |
FollowersFiredNo | On second thought, stick with me for a little longer. | Neutral 50 | What is this, the Hokey Pokey? | 3 |
FollowersFiredYes Yes, I'm sure. |
I just think we should right now. | Neutral 50 | Okay. Then I guess I'll be back at the 188. Maybe digging in some dirt for scrap metal or something. {Guilting.} | 4 |
FollowersFiredYesSuite I'd like you to go back to the Lucky 38 for now. |
I do. We'll meet up at the Lucky 38. | Neutral 50 | Nice! Can I order room service? | 5 |
FollowersHired | I think we should travel together. | Neutral 50 | Let's go make trouble. | 6 |
I think we should travel together. | Neutral 50 | Ooo. Sorry. Don't want to be a third wheel, you know? | 7 | |
FollowersLetsGo | Let's get going. | Neutral 50 | Aw, just when the standing around was getting exciting. {playful, not derisive.} | 8 |
FollowersOverburdened | FollowersOverburdened | Neutral 50 | Hey, I can't really move, now. But I'll follow you in spirit. | 9 |
FollowersTactics | Let's talk about your tactics. | Neutral 50 | Am I punching too much? I get carried away. | 10 |
FollowersTacticsCombat | I want you to change your combat style. | Neutral 50 | My recommendation - more punching. | 11 |
FollowersTacticsCombatAggressive | I want you to attack enemies the moment you see them. | Neutral 50 | You mean like, even more? | 12 |
I want you to attack enemies the moment you see them. | Neutral 50 | Beats waiting till they shoot me first. | 13 | |
FollowersTacticsCombatEND | Let's talk about something else. | Neutral 50 | Yeah. Shake things up a little. | 14 |
FollowersTacticsCombatGOODBYE | That's all. Let's get going. | Neutral 50 | Count me in. | 15 |
FollowersTacticsCombatMelee | Switch to a melee weapon. | Neutral 50 | You mean like this melee weapon right here in my hand at this very second? | 16 |
Switch to a melee weapon. | Neutral 50 | Yes! Finally. Everything's coming up Veronica. | 17 | |
FollowersTacticsCombatPassive | I want you not to attack enemies unless I've already engaged them. | Neutral 50 | I like this plan where you're the decoy. | 18 |
I want you not to attack enemies unless I've already engaged them. | Neutral 50 | What a coincidence! I've been doing that all this time! {cheerily sarcastic} | 19 | |
FollowersTacticsCombatRanged | I want you to use ranged weapons. | Neutral 50 | {Hopeful} Does jumping at them with my fists count as ranged? {Then, dejected} <Sighs> Fine. | 20 |
I want you to use ranged weapons. | Neutral 50 | Are you talking to me, or a future Veronica who is not already doing that? | 21 | |
FollowersTacticsDistance | Let's talk about how close you're following me. | Neutral 50 | What are you saying, exactly? {As though being broken up with, but lightly} | 22 |
FollowersTacticsDistanceDefault | Stay close to me. | Neutral 50 | Hey, now. You're gonna have to buy me dinner first. | 23 |
Stay close to me. | Neutral 50 | This is as close as I get until you turn into a leggy brunette. | 24 | |
Stay close to me. | Neutral 50 | Sorry. I get distracted. Been scavenging too long. | 25 | |
FollowersTacticsDistanceEND | Your distance is good. Let's talk about something else. | Neutral 50 | See? I'm good at stuff. | 26 |
FollowersTacticsDistanceGOODBYE | All right, you're good. Let's get out of here. | Neutral 50 | Good talk. | 27 |
FollowersTacticsDistanceLong Keep your distance. Try to flank them. |
Keep your distance. | Neutral 50 | They'll never see the haymakers coming. | 28 |
FollowersTacticsEnd Enough about tactics. |
Enough about tactics. | Neutral 50 | Yeah. Screw them. {Cheerily jumping on the bandwagon.} | 29 |
FollowersTrade | Let's trade equipment. | Neutral 50 | Ooo. Got something good for me? Is it a dress? | 30 |
Let's trade equipment. | Neutral 50 | You're making me carry the heavy stuff, aren't you? {Accusatory} | 31 | |
FollowersWait | Wait here. | Neutral 50 | Shoulda brought something to read... | 32 |
GREETING | GREETING | Neutral 50 | Leave me alone. | 33 |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Hey, you got a second? | 34 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | I'd slap him around, but he stood at my parents' wedding. | 35 | |
Neutral 50 | Plus he used to make excuses to get me out of my punishment when I'd slept through Head Scribe Taggart's lectures. Figure I owe him for that. | 36 | ||
Neutral 50 | <Sighs> He means well. | 37 | ||
GREETING | Neutral 50 | I'd be angrier with him, but it's hard to stay mad at the guy who taught me how to box when all the other Paladins told me no. | 38 | |
Neutral 50 | <Sighs> He always does what he feels is right. Usually that's a great quality. | 39 | ||
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Let's see what we've got here... Okay, yeah, this is the one I was thinking of. The pulse gun. | 40 | |
Neutral 50 | Although maybe the rangefinder could work too. And it looks like the NCR was onto some miracle farming technology. | 41 | ||
GREETING | Neutral 50 | {Defeated} He wouldn't listen. The truth was right there staring him in the face. How could he not listen? | 42 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | {Disbelieving} God. {Then, saddened} I should get used to this, I guess. People get desperate, they turn on each other. First thing to go is trust. | 43 | |
Neutral 50 | I don't think it's ever gonna be the same for me in there. Knowing no matter what I do, it's gonna end badly. | 44 | ||
Neutral 50 | But they're all I have. {Shaking her head, lost.} | 45 | ||
GREETING | Surprise 35 | {Remorseful} God, I did this. This was my fault. Why didn't I see this coming? | 46 | |
Anger 30 | Of course they'd track me. Of course they'd assume the worst. Sure, I left them. But that didn't mean I'd ever be free of them. | 47 | ||
Sad 50 | I should've known I was beaten before I began. I just... I had to try, you know? | 48 | ||
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Well, if there was any question whether I should leave, I guess there's my answer. | 49 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | {Horrified} Why did you do that? They were going to let us walk away. Why did you attack them? | 50 | |
Neutral 50 | I don't care that they started it. What you did was inexcusable. You need to go. | 51 | ||
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Clearly you're determined to fight the Brotherhood. Well, you can add my name to your hit list because you're on your own. | 52 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Okay, listen. The Brotherhood... they're not always the friendliest bunch. But I won't stand for you fighting them. | 53 | |
Neutral 50 | This is your last chance. | 54 | ||
GREETING | Neutral 50 | See? Pretty addictive, right? You do it once, it just makes you want to do it more. | 55 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | You can't help but notice that the Brotherhood barely exists to these people out here. We're like an urban myth. No real presence on the Outside. | 56 | |
Neutral 50 | We just don't adapt like we should. Used to be that all you needed to get your way was a suit of power armor and a laser rifle. | 57 | ||
Neutral 50 | Now... people are armed and organized. They're not afraid. But we still stick to our old approach, because it's all we know. | 58 | ||
GREETING | Neutral 50 | You know, I've been thinking. The real problem with the Brotherhood is that we isolate ourselves. | 59 | |
Neutral 50 | Our training is top-notch, our technology gives us an advantage, but when it all comes down to it, we're losing because we shun the outside world. | 60 | ||
Neutral 50 | We always make enemies, never allies. We refuse to recruit outsiders, or see the value in their simpler technologies. | 61 | ||
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Hold on. I see something I want to punch. | 62 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | No offense, but you look like you've traveled a long way down some bad roads. Where'd you come from? | 63 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Couldn't get enough of talking to me the first time, huh? | 64 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Listen... I want to thank you for helping me out. I'm sorry that... things didn't go like I'd hoped. {Beside herself} | 65 | |
Neutral 50 | But at least I got the chance to try. At least I know for sure that there was nothing I could do. | 66 | ||
Neutral 50 | Thank you for giving me that chance. | 67 | ||
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Wow, Mr. House is looking for you, huh? What do you think he wants? Bowling partner? | 68 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | What'd you think of Mr. House? I was surprised he only had the two robot sex slaves. | 69 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | That chip of yours... I wouldn't wager it on blackjack. | 70 | |
Neutral 50 | Unless the dealer has a five or six showing. | 71 | ||
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Whole future of New Vegas seems like it's up in the air. Guess I should wait things out before buying a condo in the Ultra-Luxe, huh? | 72 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Hope you're picking the winning side here. Be nice to fight for someone who's gonna be around for a while. | 73 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Next stop, Hoover Dam, huh? When we get there... can we stop by the souvenir shop? Their beaver mascot is just precious. | 74 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | What's up? | 75 | |
PLAYERFIREWEAPON | PLAYER FIRE WEAPON | Neutral 50 | Am I gonna have to take that away from you? | 76 |
PLAYERINIRONSITES | PLAYER IN IRON SITES | Neutral 50 | Why do we always hurt the ones we care about the most? {wry} | 77 |
PLAYERLAYMINE | PLAYER LAY MINE | Neutral 50 | Careful. Someone could trip on that. {calmly} | 78 |
PLAYERTHROWGRENADE | PLAYER THROW GRENADE | Neutral 50 | Grenade! | 79 |
VDialogueVeronicaAbeBye1 | Abraham wanted to say goodbye, and that he's gone North, into ghoul country. | Neutral 50 | Oh god. He... {sighs} I guess he was lost a long time ago. Even at the end... | 80 |
Abraham wanted to say goodbye, and that he's gone North, into ghoul country. | Neutral 50 | Still... thanks for bringing word. At least, now I know. | 81 | |
VDialogueVeronicaAbeExp1 | Abe explained what happened in the Crater, how it healed him. | Neutral 50 | {Drifting, dismissive} Hmm. Unlikely. He was a little too focused on gears and diodes... tech was the cure-all. | 82 |
VDialogueVeronicaAbeMsg1 | VDialogueVeronicaAbeMsg1 | Neutral 50 | Would you mind if I looked at the message? | 83 |
VDialogueVeronicaAbeMsg2 | VDialogueVeronicaAbeMsg2 | Neutral 50 | Would you mind if I listened to the message? | 84 |
VDialogueVeronicaAbeMsg3 | VDialogueVeronicaAbeMsg3 | Neutral 50 | Would you mind if I looked at the message you found? | 85 |
VDialogueVeronicaAbeMsg4 | VDialogueVeronicaAbeMsg4 | Neutral 50 | Would you mind if I listened to the message you found? | 86 |
VDialogueVeronicaAbeMsgRefuse | VDialogueVeronicaAbeMsgRefuse | Anger 10 | {Irritated} Fine. I guess it doesn't matter anyway, keep it. I won't ask again. | 87 |
VDialogueVeronicaAbeSim1 | VDialogueVeronicaAbeSim1 | Neutral 50 | {Waiting for player to step out of simulator} What was on it? What did he say? | 88 |
VDialogueVeronicaAbeSim2 | What did you expect a ghoul to say? | Sad 10 | {Sadly accepting} Yeah. Yeah. Thought as much. He'd been fading away for a long time. | 89 |
VDialogueVeronicaAccelerator | I found the ghoul with the Accelerator you were looking for. | Surprise 10 | {Surprise, player found someone she thought was dead} You did? Where? Oh my God, I mean... I thought... I don't even know what I thought might have happened to him. | 90 |
I found the ghoul with the Accelerator you were looking for. | Neutral 50 | {Wary} But... you don't have a "this is good news" expression on your face. | 91 | |
VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorChokept | VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorChokept | Sad 20 | {Default Choke Node} ...it doesn't matter. He died when we all retreated to Hidden Valley. I didn't expect to see him again, no one did. | 92 |
VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorKill | I had to kill Monte for it. | Neutral 50 | You killed him? {Beat} But... | 93 |
VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg21 | VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg21 | Neutral 50 | Did he say anything when you met him? Anything...{about me, stops herself} anything at all? | 94 |
VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg22 | Here's the accelerator. | Neutral 50 | Where did you get this? | 95 |
Here's the accelerator. | Neutral 50 | {Wary} Guess I was right about the bad news, huh? Same look Elder McNamara always gave me when I was up for promotion. | 96 | |
VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg31 | You should watch this. | Neutral 50 | {Given a farewell message} All right, I'll listen to it. | 97 |
VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg32 | VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg32 | Neutral 50 | {Given a farewell message} All right, I'll watch it. | 98 |
VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg33 | VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg33 | Sad 20 | {Watched a goodbye message, slightly choked up} That was... that was hard to watch. | 99 |
VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg34 | What did Abraham say to you? | Neutral 50 | {Confused, a little disoriented} The parts I understood? Didn't matter. Past all the garbage, all it amounted to was goodbye. | 100 |
VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg35 | VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg35 | Pained 10 | {Still a little dizzy} Sorry... feel a little out of it. Head's spinning a bit... | 101 |
VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg35 | Surprise 10 | {Surprise, knowledge downloading} Oh. Oh! | 102 | |
VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorStg35 | Sad 10 | {Blinking, just gained downloaded defense programs} I think he left me a gift. {Quiet} Maybe I can use it better than he did. | 103 | |
VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorTrap | I trapped Monte in a subway tunnel, that ghoul's not coming back. | Neutral 50 | Trapped him? Where? | 104 |
VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorTrapChokept | VDialogueVeronicaAcceleratorTrapChokept | Sad 10 | {Trapped only} And I don't like saying this, but the Mojave's safer with him... there. | 105 |
VDialogueVeronicaCraft | Could you help me craft something? | Neutral 50 | Step into my office. | 106 |
VDialogueVeronicaDamOutcomeBranch | VDialogueVeronicaDamOutcomeBranch | Neutral 50 | Not sure what my parents would think of me fighting for the NCR. | 107 |
Neutral 50 | But for New Vegas it seemed like this was the best chance at stability. I don't regret it. | 108 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaDamOutcomeBranch | Neutral 50 | Never sided with a group of marauders before. But I think the Brotherhood stands a better chance against them than they did against the NCR. | 109 | |
Neutral 50 | That gives me some hope. | 110 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaDamOutcomeBranch | Neutral 50 | For some reason, it warms my heart that we fought for the kooky old geezer. Guess he reminds me of someone. | 111 | |
VDialogueVeronicaDamOutcomeBranch | Neutral 50 | Independent New Vegas. If that isn't redundant, I don't know what is. | 112 | |
Neutral 50 | But I like its chances. | 113 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaHVEntranceEstranged | VDialogueVeronicaHVEntranceEstranged | Neutral 50 | Hey. I, uh, I can't go in with you. I'll wait here, okay? | 114 |
VDialogueVeronicaULDressReceived | VDialogueVeronicaULDressReceived | Neutral 50 | <Gasps> For me? Do you mean it? No, no, it's too much! Well, okay. But it's too much! It's perfect. Thank you. Thank you. | 115 |
Neutral 50 | I... wish I had something to give you. I- wait! What about punching? That's the gift that keeps on giving. | 116 | ||
Neutral 50 | I could work on your punching with you, if you like. Show you how to counter like a Scribe. | 117 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic000 | Goodsprings. | Neutral 50 | Wow, you {emph} have come a long way, then. I've never been there, but I've met some traders who pass that way. | 118 |
Goodsprings. | Neutral 50 | Well, welcome, then. I'm Veronica. I live in a hole in the ground. | 119 | |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic001 | The grave. | Neutral 50 | Huh. Well, in that case I take it back. You look pretty good, given the circumstances. | 120 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic002 | I'm not entirely sure. | Neutral 50 | Yeah, guess the roads must've been long, then, if you forgot where you started from. | 121 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic003 | None of your business. | Neutral 50 | That's why I asked. My business is boring. You try trading and scavenging for a living and see if you don't start nosing into other people's affairs. | 122 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic004 | You live in a hole in the ground? | Neutral 50 | Well, a bunker, if you want to get technical. I think it sounds more interesting my way. | 123 |
Neutral 50 | But I'm not there much anymore. I'm usually out here picking up food and supplies for my family. Whatever they need. | 124 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic005 | So you just leave your family in the bunker? | Neutral 50 | Yeah. I'm not worried. They can handle themselves. But somebody has to get the groceries, know what I mean? | 125 |
Neutral 50 | And actually these days I think they'd rather have me out here anyway. But that's a whole other story. | 126 | ||
Neutral 50 | So, listen, can I ask you something on the level? | 127 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic006 | Go ahead. | Neutral 50 | I had a run-in with this group calling themselves the Brotherhood of Steel. Pretty strange bunch. Do you know anything about them? | 128 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic007 | I'd rather you didn't. | Neutral 50 | Forget I said anything, then. | 129 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic008 | Some other time, maybe. | Neutral 50 | Sure. It's a small wasteland. I'm sure we'll run into each other again. | 130 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic010 | I met a group of them in a bunker west of here. | Neutral 50 | And? | 131 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic011 | They're usually harmless unless you use advanced technology around them. | Neutral 50 | Well that shouldn't be a problem for me. I can't afford anything like that. | 132 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic012 | They're enemies of the NCR. If you know where they are you should turn them in. | Neutral 50 | Oh my gosh, really? Well, I didn't see where they went, but I'll keep an eye out. Wow, I had no idea they were so dangerous. | 133 |
Neutral 50 | Thanks for letting me know. Glad I didn't do any business with them. | 134 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic013 | They've got the right idea. | Neutral 50 | Do they? That's a relief. I wasn't so sure, myself. Protecting people from technology seems like a big job for such a small group. | 135 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic014 | I know who they are but I don't care about their agenda. | Neutral 50 | Yeah, it's pretty far out, right? Fixating on old technology just doesn't seem very relevant to most people's lives. | 136 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic015 | Yeah. I know to shoot them on sight. | Neutral 50 | That bad, huh? Guess I'm lucky I got away with my life. I'll make sure and avoid them from now on. Thanks. | 137 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic016 | Not really. | Neutral 50 | That's okay, I wouldn't expect anybody to. I think they tend to keep to themselves. | 138 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic017 | I killed them all. | Surprise 20 | God, you're not lying, are you? You really did kill them. {Horrifying realization.} | 139 |
Anger 50 | In that case, this is for them. {Spiteful.} | 140 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic018 | They seemed all right. | Neutral 50 | You think? Well good, then. That puts me a little more at ease. | 141 |
They seemed all right. | Neutral 50 | Hey, so where are you headed, anyway? | 142 | |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic019 | I'm reserving judgment. | Neutral 50 | That seems wise. I think I am, too. Although for how much longer, I'm not sure. | 143 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic020 | I don't care for them. | Neutral 50 | Not very friendly, are they? | 144 |
Neutral 50 | Well, thanks for weighing in. Gives me something to think about. | 145 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic021 | I've heard they shoot lasers from their eyes. | Surprise 15 | Wow. I've got to admit, you have completely defied my first impression of you. {amused at idiocy} | 146 |
Happy 35 | Eye lasers. I'll be sure and look out for that next time. | 147 | ||
Happy 15 | Any other juicy bits of intel? | 148 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic023 | The Strip. | Neutral 50 | Ooo. Very exciting. Gonna strike it rich, huh? | 149 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic024 | Hoover Dam. | Neutral 50 | Huh. Just on your way to do a little heavily fortified sightseeing. Kind of a thrillseeker, aren't you? | 150 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic025 | I just kind of drift from place to place. | Neutral 50 | Just wherever the wind takes you, huh? I like that. Keeps things interesting. | 151 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic026 | What's it to you? | Neutral 50 | I'll be honest. You're the first person I've run across out here that looks like he can really handle himself. | 152 |
What's it to you? | Neutral 50 | I'll be honest. You're the first person I've run across out here that looks like she can really handle herself. | 153 | |
What's it to you? | Neutral 50 | There are places I've never been to that'd be too dangerous for just me. What do you think? Maybe we could travel together, help each other out. | 154 | |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic027 | I go where I'm needed. | Neutral 50 | Guess we have that in common, then. | 155 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic028 | Going to see an old friend. | Neutral 50 | This is quite a journey you're going on, then. Must be an interesting relationship to have brought you all this way. | 156 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic029 | You don't look like much. What do you bring to the table? | Neutral 50 | Heh. Good. That's the look I was going for. Trust me on this one, though. You'll be glad you brought me along. | 157 |
Neutral 50 | If I turn out to be a burden, we can part ways at any time. No hard feelings. | 158 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic030 | Where are you hoping to go? | Neutral 50 | Oh, nowhere in particular, really. Just hoping to see more of the world. Looking for a fresh perspective. | 159 |
Neutral 50 | I want to see how different groups have adapted to survive in the Mojave. See if there's something I can learn from. | 160 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic031 | Okay, let's travel together. | Neutral 50 | Now you're talking. One thing you should know, first, though. I asked you about the Brotherhood because I'm one of them. | 161 |
Neutral 50 | I know, I know. But I had to know how you'd react when I told you. We've made a lot of enemies. | 162 | ||
Neutral 50 | You still okay bringing me along? | 163 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic032 | I'd like to, but I can't take you with me right now. | Neutral 50 | Aw, you really know how to make a girl feel like a stray cat. | 164 |
Neutral 50 | But okay. My offer stands, if we run into each other again. | 165 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic033 | Not interested. | Neutral 50 | Suit yourself. You can always change your mind. | 166 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic034 | Don't you have a family to feed? | Neutral 50 | Like I said, they can handle themselves. And I'm not the only one getting supplies for them. It's a big family. | 167 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic035 | I'm ready to travel with you. | Neutral 50 | Good. I hoped you'd come around. Shall we? | 168 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic037 | Actually, I'm more comfortable now that I know you've had some training. | Neutral 50 | I'm great at punching people. I'm not gonna lie. It's a gift. | 169 |
Actually, I'm more comfortable now that I know you've had some training. | Neutral 50 | Well, thanks for taking a chance on a naive young girl from California with stars in her eyes and a pneumatic gauntlet on her hand. | 170 | |
Neutral 50 | Let's hit the road, huh? | 171 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic038 | As long as you're honest with me from now on. | Neutral 50 | Sure. Just don't ever ask me if your outfit makes you look fat. | 172 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic039 | Yes, but you're on a short leash. | Neutral 50 | Fair enough. Maybe one day I'll have your complete trust, and I can be on a long leash. A girl can dream. | 173 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic041 | What is it? | Neutral 50 | The Brotherhood is failing. {Beat} I've always known that. If we don't change course, we're going to fall apart or... fade away. | 174 |
Neutral 50 | But until recently I haven't understood where we went wrong, or how to fix it. | 175 | ||
Neutral 50 | I think I need to go home. | 176 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic042 | Tell me about yourself. | Neutral 50 | I like long walks in the desert and candle-lit metal workshops. | 177 |
Tell me about yourself. | Neutral 50 | My favorite subject. | 178 | |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic043 | I have questions I wanted to ask you. | Neutral 50 | He was dead when I got there. | 179 |
I have questions I wanted to ask you. | Neutral 50 | This better not be about the meaning of life. | 180 | |
I have questions I wanted to ask you. | Neutral 50 | Well, when two people really love each other... you really don't know this stuff yet? | 181 | |
I have questions I wanted to ask you. | Neutral 50 | Ooo, do I get a prize if I answer right? | 182 | |
I have questions I wanted to ask you. | Neutral 50 | I was told we wouldn't be tested on this. | 183 | |
I have questions I wanted to ask you. | Neutral 50 | A lifetime supply of Fancy Lads Snack Cakes, revenge against my enemies, and world peace. In that order. | 184 | |
I have questions I wanted to ask you. | Neutral 50 | {Defensive} I was young and I needed the money. | 185 | |
I have questions I wanted to ask you. | Neutral 50 | It's a free wasteland. | 186 | |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic044 | Ever heard of Mr. House before? | Neutral 50 | Yeah. They say he built the Strip. Of course, they say a lot of things. No one's actually met him. | 187 |
Neutral 50 | Me? I think it's a hoax. Probably a group of people who want to avoid attention, or some made-up persona of a self-aware computer. | 188 | ||
Neutral 50 | Why else would he shut himself in like that? | 189 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic045 | Can you tell me anything about this platinum chip? | Neutral 50 | Yeah. It's not for poker. | 190 |
Neutral 50 | I've never seen anything quite like it, but I can tell you it looks like it was fabricated before the War, and not at a mint. | 191 | ||
Neutral 50 | Some kind of tech... I'm gonna say... mid-2200s. Hold onto it. Might be your lucky chip. | 192 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic046 | Ever hear of a guy called Benny? | Neutral 50 | Sure, he's one of the hotel managers on the Strip. He comes up in the news now and then. | 193 |
Neutral 50 | Him and the other Chairmen run the Tops. It's one of the nicer hotels, or so I hear. | 194 | ||
Neutral 50 | Elder McNamara wouldn't shell out for a passport for me, so I've actually never been to the Strip. Why do people get so cheap when they get old? | 195 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic047 | Know anything about New Vegas? | Neutral 50 | Yep. It's your typical city layout. Rich people in a gated community surrounded by extreme poverty. | 196 |
Neutral 50 | House gave the area around the Strip to the locals, but he has no interest in it, so he ignores it entirely. It just needs new management. | 197 | ||
Neutral 50 | I'd love to see the Brotherhood do it, but since the Codex doesn't say "clean up Freeside" no one listens to me. Bunch of sticklers. | 198 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic048 | What do you think of the NCR? | Neutral 50 | I'm worried they'll be the death of the Brotherhood. They take what they want. We defend our interests to the death. | 199 |
Neutral 50 | But there's a handful of us and tens or hundreds of thousands of them. So it's not going to end well. | 200 | ||
Neutral 50 | Last time we clashed we lost a lot of people. Retreated to our bunker. Now we're afraid to even move around during the day. | 201 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic049 | Any thoughts about Caesar's Legion? | Neutral 50 | Silliest dressed band of raping, slaving marauders you'll see east of California, I'll say that. Where's that touch of Old World class? | 202 |
Neutral 50 | Although I hear the soldiers mount each other as much as they mount their women, so maybe they did keep a little something from the Empire. | 203 | ||
Neutral 50 | No such privilege for the women, though. Figures. So... to answer your question... they're a bunch of hypocritical jerkwads. {beat} It's a word. | 204 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic050 | Never mind. | Neutral 50 | Darn it, I had some spectacular answers coming, too. | 205 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic051 | Let's keep moving. | Neutral 50 | Let's. {Pleasantly} | 206 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic052 | Not now. | Neutral 50 | Okay. Well, when you do, let me know, all right? | 207 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic054 | I'll take you back there, first chance I get. | Neutral 50 | Great. Thanks. Thank you. I'll encourage people to name their non-ugly children after you. Seriously. | 208 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic055 | Can it wait? | Neutral 50 | Sure, yeah. Just not too long, okay? I worry about them sometimes. {Not the ideal answer she wanted, but going with it, trying to stay upbeat.} | 209 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic056 | Why don't you just go back on your own? | Neutral 50 | Wow, don't everybody volunteer all at once now. | 210 |
Neutral 50 | I {emph} could do that. You're not interested in coming along? Hate to break up the band over a silly little thing like the future of everyone I care about. | 211 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic057 | That's just not important right now. | Neutral 50 | This from the girl who walked from I-15 to the Colorado River looking for her lost package. | 212 |
That's just not important right now. | Neutral 50 | This from the guy who walked from I-15 to the Colorado River looking for his lost package. | 213 | |
That's just not important right now. | Neutral 50 | I hope you change your mind. {miffed} | 214 | |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic060 | I have things I need to do. You'd better go alone. | Neutral 50 | Not much for family gatherings, huh? All right, have it your way. | 215 |
Neutral 50 | You ever want to look me up again, I'll be in my bunker in Hidden Valley. That's the {emph} luxury bunker. | 216 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic061 | What now? | Neutral 50 | I'm not giving up. He wants evidence, but he'll never go looking for it. He's scared I'm right. | 217 |
Neutral 50 | He'll never listen unless I hold the proof right in front of his face. | 218 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic062 | You think the Elder will listen at all? | Neutral 50 | He's a stubborn old man, but when it comes down to it, he's got our best interests at heart. | 219 |
Neutral 50 | If he sees some indisputable sign we're on the wrong course, he won't ignore it. | 220 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic063 | What could we bring to him that would change his mind? | Neutral 50 | I don't know. I don't know. We'd need something that shows the Brotherhood will fail. Or that it can do better a different way. | 221 |
Neutral 50 | The only thing that'd get his attention is technology. | 222 | ||
Neutral 50 | Huh. Maybe Father Elijah had the right idea. | 223 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic064 | So what is it you're trying to accomplish? | Neutral 50 | That's my question to the Elder. All these years, the Brotherhood has collected weapons technology. And for what? | 224 |
Neutral 50 | To keep it out of people's hands? That clearly hasn't worked. To defend ourselves? We can't compete with the NCR's numbers. Or the Legion's. | 225 | ||
Neutral 50 | We're fighting a war for a lost cause. If we're going to survive, we have to find a role in society. Attract new members. | 226 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic065 | How would you propose to do that? | Neutral 50 | Look at the Followers of the Apocalypse. They use their expertise to improve people's lives. They train them to be self-sufficient. | 227 |
Neutral 50 | That expertise cultivates respect and gratitude. Spreads their ideals. Draws talent to their cause. They make friends like we make enemies. | 228 | ||
Neutral 50 | But they don't know a fraction of what we know. If we took on their role, we could stand up to anyone. We wouldn't have to hide. | 229 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic066 | Father Elijah? | Neutral 50 | Our Elder before McNamara. He had a nose for recovering lost technology. He'd send Scribes out into the desert chasing whatever leads he found. | 230 |
Neutral 50 | There were a few he only trusted me with. I can think of at least one that'd prove my point, if it still exists. | 231 | ||
Neutral 50 | There's a comm terminal not too far from here I'd use to access messages from him. If we go there I can pull up his research on it. | 232 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic067 | Tell me about the rangefinder. | Neutral 50 | It's a targeting device for some kind of doomsday weapon based at HELIOS One. It was lost sometime after the War. | 233 |
Neutral 50 | We held HELIOS One for a time. Lost a lot of people defending it. Too many. All for this weapon they never got working. | 234 | ||
Neutral 50 | If it turns out to be a dud, it'd show how flawed our goals have been. Father Elijah said he thinks a scavenger might have sold it on the Strip. | 235 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic068 | Let's head out. | Neutral 50 | I'm with you. Being around here isn't the same anymore. | 236 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic069 | Good intentions don't justify marching the Brotherhood to its death. | Neutral 50 | No, but it does make it easier to forgive him. He's just misguided. | 237 |
Neutral 50 | It's not too late to change his mind. | 238 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic070 | Have you considered that he might be right? | Neutral 50 | Have {emph} you considered that he might be senile? | 239 |
Neutral 50 | The Brotherhood's strategy for survival worked back when we had a larger force, and no organized enemies. | 240 | ||
Neutral 50 | We're a tiny splinter from a shrinking group. We don't take on new members. But we're still picking fights with the big boys. | 241 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic071 | What's a pulse gun? | Neutral 50 | Electromagnetic weapon from before the Great War. Experimental. It never saw mass production. | 242 |
Neutral 50 | But they were building it as a countermeasure to power armor, which they feared the Chinese were developing. | 243 | ||
Neutral 50 | Supposedly a prototype was being housed at Nellis. Imagine what it could do to the Brotherhood. We'd be on equal footing with any idiot with a gun. | 244 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic072 | Farming technology? | Neutral 50 | More or less. Supposedly it's a vegetation enhancer. NCR has a science branch headquartered at McCarran airport. Guess they found something. | 245 |
Neutral 50 | Guess somebody wasn't very good at keeping secrets, either. | 246 | ||
Neutral 50 | We'd never pursue it because it's not a weapon. But self-sufficiency is fundamental to us. If it works they'd see the value of an alternate course. | 247 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic073 | Let's pursue the pulse gun. | Neutral 50 | Yeah, maybe they'll think twice about engaging the NCR if they know one of those could be floating around. | 248 |
Neutral 50 | The notes say to look around Nellis Air Force Base. He suggests going through filing cabinets and computers in the commanding officer's quarters. | 249 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic074 | The rangefinder sounds promising. | Neutral 50 | They defended HELIOS like it was their last stand. Didn't even know if there was anything worth defending. How could there be, with all we lost? | 250 |
Neutral 50 | Even if it did work, it'd be under NCR control now. So it'd either prove our goals are wrong or we're incapable of pursuing them. | 251 | ||
Neutral 50 | There's a pawn shop in Outer Vegas we could check. And I've heard of a gift shop in the Strip that deals in Pre-War antiques. | 252 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic075 | We should go after the vegetation technology. | Neutral 50 | Okay. What better way to persuade them than to give them a taste of what they stand to gain, right? | 253 |
Neutral 50 | Maybe the best place to start is to see what we can find out directly from the NCR. Let's head to their OSI office at McCarran. | 254 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic079 | Let's go find it. | Neutral 50 | I like the way you think. | 255 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic080 | There was never any chance. His mind was made up from the start. | Neutral 50 | I see that now. I thought I knew him better than that. But it was like talking to a stranger. | 256 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic081 | Maybe if we make a stronger case, he'll change his mind. | Neutral 50 | No. Our case wouldn't be any stronger if tomorrow they all died when their energy weapons backfired. | 257 |
Neutral 50 | I just didn't expect that. There was no getting through to him. | 258 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic082 | You just weren't very persuasive. | Neutral 50 | Well I {emph} knew he wouldn't listen to {slight emph} me. That's why we went out of our way to find something that he couldn't ignore. | 259 |
Neutral 50 | But it didn't make any difference. | 260 | ||
You just weren't very persuasive. | Neutral 50 | How can I help them when they won't accept it? | 261 | |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic083 | The rangefinder might be a problem. I reactivated HELIOS One, and it's not powering a weapon. | Neutral 50 | Ah, hell. Well, how could you know, right? Okay. Two other options still on the table. | 262 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic084 | Tell me about the Brotherhood of Steel. | Neutral 50 | It pays like ass, but it's hard to get other work with my skill set. | 263 |
Neutral 50 | What do you want to know? | 264 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic085 | Would someone else listen to you? | Neutral 50 | It wouldn't matter. The Elder has final say. | 265 |
Would someone else listen to you? | Neutral 50 | The hell of it is he's one of our most progressive members. If I can't get him to agree, it's hopeless. | 266 | |
Would someone else listen to you? | Neutral 50 | He won't tolerate any resistance. If he catches wind I've been talking to people, he'll charge me with sedition. | 267 | |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic086 | Where does that leave you? | Neutral 50 | I... {beat} I don't know if I can stay. Maybe it'd be better for everyone if I left. Spent my life... somewhere else. {This'd be a big deal for her. First sentence is a revelation.} | 268 |
Neutral 50 | Work with the Followers of the Apocalypse, maybe. Put my knowledge to some good use. {Offhand, Not with a lot of hope} | 269 | ||
Neutral 50 | Or I can stay here with the people I care about and do... whatever I can, until it comes to a slow or sudden end. | 270 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic087 | You should take over. | Neutral 50 | Ha! Well that's... imaginative. But it's not really for me. | 271 |
Neutral 50 | I couldn't get one of their most reasonable members to accept a rational argument. I don't see them coming out in droves to support my coup. | 272 | ||
Neutral 50 | And that's really not what the Brotherhood needs right now anyway. They're hanging by a thread. | 273 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic088 | What's their purpose? | Neutral 50 | Ha! Good question. These days it's hard to say. Once upon a time it was about technology. Controlling it so it couldn't destroy us again. | 274 |
Neutral 50 | Energy weapons and power armor are usually tops on our list, although {emph} I appreciate anything that's vintage. | 275 | ||
Neutral 50 | But that all seems so limited now. We haven't grown or adapted. And now we're stuck in a hole, not carrying out our mission. | 276 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic089 | This is your home, and these are your friends. You should stay. | Neutral 50 | They may be a bunch of wooden conformists, but anything I did without them would feel... empty. | 277 |
Neutral 50 | I'd always be reminded of this day. How I wasn't strong enough to stand by them. | 278 | ||
Neutral 50 | So I guess I'll stay. Won't be easy, but at least I won't feel guilty about the choice. | 279 | ||
This is your home, and these are your friends. You should stay. | Neutral 50 | Let's get going. I'd like to get my mind off all this. And some fresh air would do me some good right about now. | 280 | |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic090 | Leaving now is your only shot at a future. | Neutral 50 | There's no getting around that, is there? What would my life be like here, knowing what's to come? | 281 |
Neutral 50 | They're not going to like this. We're given a chance when we're young to choose whether to stay. If we do, it's supposed to be for life. | 282 | ||
Neutral 50 | But they haven't left me any choice. It's this or a lifetime of scavenging and watching my friends die in losing battles. {beat} I guess it's settled, then. | 283 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic091 | You're the only one who can make this decision. | Neutral 50 | Not even a hint, huh? Geez, I really am all alone on this one. {Sad.} | 284 |
Neutral 50 | I guess I'll stay. If I left there wouldn't be any coming back. It might be something I'd instantly regret. | 285 | ||
Neutral 50 | Things are going to get harder for the Brotherhood before they get easier. I should support them in whatever way I can. | 286 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic092 | How did you get to be a member? | Neutral 50 | More sexual favors than I can even count. I am still tired from it. | 287 |
Neutral 50 | No, actually, you're born into it. My parents, their parents, so on. When you're young you can choose to leave. But it's home, so most people don't. | 288 | ||
Neutral 50 | We don't take on new members, really. You can do the math on our long-term prospects based on that point. I keep hoping we'll change that. | 289 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic093 | What do you do for them? | Neutral 50 | I'm a procurement specialist. Like I said, it's basically grocery shopping. Except sometimes the groceries are scavenged parts and arcane technology. | 290 |
Neutral 50 | The elder who brought us to the Mojave, Father Elijah, usually had me looking for these old memory units. But he'd never tell me what they were for. | 291 | ||
Neutral 50 | Nowadays I'm usually sent to do business with traders at places like the 188. But sometimes I think it's just to keep me out of everyone's hair. | 292 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic094 | Do you like being a member? | Neutral 50 | I know sometimes I sound like I don't. I know. But there's something that still rings true to me about our code. | 293 |
Neutral 50 | There's an honor to it. We're protecting people. Even if it's from themselves, it's a good cause. | 294 | ||
Neutral 50 | We just lose sight of the big picture sometimes. Treat all our practices with the same sacredness. | 295 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic095 | What's the Codex? | Neutral 50 | Ah, the Codex. If it's in there, we have to abide it, if it's not, it's not important. {She has a love-hate relationship with the Codex.} | 296 |
Neutral 50 | It documents our history, too. Part of what Scribes like me do is update it. Hmm... I wonder... | 297 | ||
Neutral 50 | Nah, they'd probably catch it if I rewrote the Founder's axioms. | 298 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic096 | Does the Brotherhood protect people from raiders or other threats? | Neutral 50 | No, no. We only protect people from {emph} themselves, and only in the sense that we don't let them have the really good Pre-War toys. | 299 |
Neutral 50 | And sometimes it's more like we protect {emph} ourselves from {emph} them and hope to outlive them and become humanity's sole heirs. | 300 | ||
Neutral 50 | We've had people go rogue, though, and start helping people. One chapter had a small civil war over it. We take our isolationism seriously. | 301 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic097 | How do you feel about the other members? | Neutral 50 | I called them family before. That's not far off. Both the good and the bad. It's like a big unending family reunion in that bunker. | 302 |
Neutral 50 | There's people you love, people you'll never speak to again, and it's always awkward when you run into someone you used to date. | 303 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic098 | Who is Father Elijah? | Neutral 50 | He was our Elder when we came East. A wizard with technology, really. His mind just worked that way naturally. Learned a lot from him. | 304 |
Neutral 50 | But he started having disagreements with the other Elders. The Brotherhood's interest is in old technology. He wanted to explore developing new tech. | 305 | ||
Neutral 50 | And there were other ways he wanted to push. Other weapons. Ones with ethics questions attached. Rather than deal with him, they sent him East. | 306 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic099 | How can I best use your skills? | Neutral 50 | I like punching things, but sometimes shooting things just has to do. | 307 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic100 | I had another question. | Neutral 50 | {"Go ahead and ask."} Shoot. | 308 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic101 | I wanted to talk about the technology we're looking for. | Neutral 50 | What are your thoughts? | 309 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic102 | Never mind. | Neutral 50 | Okay, I won't! {cheerily} | 310 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic103 | Power armor and laser rifles are still effective. | Neutral 50 | Yeah, but only if you've got bodies to fill the suits. We don't take on new members. We're all descendents from the original Brotherhood. | 311 |
Neutral 50 | Something's going to have to change, or the empty suits are gonna be all that's left of us. | 312 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic104 | The Brotherhood is living in the past. Eventually they'll have to change. | Neutral 50 | I think you're right. We're getting desperate. Hardly enough people to sustain ourselves as a chapter. They'll see the light, sooner or later. | 313 |
Neutral 50 | But I get the feeling if I don't take matters into my own hands, the change won't come in time to make a difference. | 314 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic105 | If it's worked for this long, there must be something redeemable about their beliefs. Have faith. | Neutral 50 | Wow, you sound like Elder McNamara. I {slight emph} know I should. Hell, it's what I signed up for when I chose to stay into adulthood. | 315 |
Neutral 50 | I know there's something worth saving in there. But we're in decline. Our membership is... decimated. There's got to be something we can do. | 316 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic106 | None of that is going to change. It's part of the Brotherhood's identity. | Neutral 50 | I know the odds aren't good, but I've gotta try. I can't lose them. | 317 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic107 | Why don't you do something about it? | Neutral 50 | I don't know. I'm still thinking about what kind of role we could take on that would give us the best chance of survival. | 318 |
Neutral 50 | But I think things are starting to come together. | 319 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic108 | The Brotherhood has to isolate itself. Its knowledge is dangerous. | Neutral 50 | Sure, but how long before the NCR or Caesar's Legion track us down and take it by force anyway? | 320 |
Neutral 50 | But if we recruited Knights from outside the group, maybe we could actually defend it. | 321 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic109 | Are you still going to travel with me? | Neutral 50 | Yeah. I've got the rest of my life to help them out. I can spare a little while to see things through with you. | 322 |
Are you still going to travel with me? | Neutral 50 | {Smiling} Sure. I want to establish a connection with the Followers first, but as far as I know, drifting is part of the job description. | 323 | |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic110 | It's not too late to change your mind. | Neutral 50 | No, I think it is. I have to be resolved about this. If I waver, it'll just make things harder. | 324 |
Neutral 50 | They need me and I'm not going to abandon them. | 325 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic111 | Will they take you back after you killed these people? | Neutral 50 | I think so. Two things the Brotherhood has a lot of - hardheads and lasers. Wouldn't be the first time a disagreement ended like this. | 326 |
Neutral 50 | Plus... we killed all the witnesses. | 327 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic112 | Come on. Let's get out of here. | Neutral 50 | {Somber} Good idea. | 328 |
Come on. Let's get out of here. | Neutral 50 | I think that'd be best. There's a Followers outpost up near one of my old scavenging grounds. Used to do some trading with a doctor there. | 329 | |
Neutral 50 | If I work out of there, I'll still be able to keep tabs on Hidden Valley if I needed to. I know that route like the back of my hand. | 330 | ||
Neutral 50 | If it's all right, I'd like to head that way. Meet some people, see if I can be of any use. | 331 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic113 | You're sure you're okay leaving them behind? | Neutral 50 | Yeah. I think if I stayed I'd end up causing trouble. Sometimes I just can't help myself. | 332 |
Neutral 50 | This way is better for me and for them. | 333 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic114 | Maybe you should've stayed at Hidden Valley. | Neutral 50 | Well, I shouldn't have come within a mile of here. I know that. {Beat} These poor people. | 334 |
Neutral 50 | Seems like either way, there's not much I can do to help anyone. | 335 | ||
Neutral 50 | I think maybe it's safer if I don't try. | 336 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic115 | You don't control the people who did this. | Neutral 50 | {Not taking comfort} No... I don't, do I? If I did, none of this would've happened. | 337 |
Neutral 50 | I should've left a long time ago. Cut my losses before it came to this. | 338 | ||
Neutral 50 | I never stood a chance. | 339 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic116 | These people are dead because you were careless and selfish. | Neutral 50 | {Sad, peeved} Isn't that what I just said? I know I'm responsible. | 340 |
Neutral 50 | I was just trying to put it all behind me. Find someplace where what I do would actually have some influence. | 341 | ||
Neutral 50 | I should've expected this, though. Different story, same ending. | 342 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic117 | You can just join the Followers somewhere else. | Neutral 50 | No. Not a chance in hell. I'm not risking this happening again. | 343 |
Neutral 50 | I'm gonna have to keep to myself. Better that way. For everyone. | 344 | ||
Neutral 50 | I'll still finish what I started with you, though. If you're not afraid, that is. I'll just try not to get too caught up in it all. | 345 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic118 | Who are the Followers of the Apocalypse? | Neutral 50 | Okay, so take the Brotherhood. Replace their knowledge of superweapons with half as much knowledge of medicine and farming. | 346 |
Neutral 50 | Sprinkle in a little compassion for people outside their group and healthy disrespect for authority, and voila. Followers. | 347 | ||
Neutral 50 | I never really considered joining before. But now that I think about it, it really sounds like it could be a good fit, doesn't it? | 348 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic119 | What are your goals? | Neutral 50 | I want... a dress. | 349 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic120 | Who was this Father Elijah to you? | Neutral 50 | I would say he was my tutor, but that doesn't cover it. | 350 |
Neutral 50 | After my parents passed, he looked after me. The whole Brotherhood brought me up, really, but he made sure of it. | 351 | ||
Neutral 50 | I never had a grandfather - not that I knew, anyway - but Elijah was in some ways what I'd imagine a grandfather to be. | 352 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic121 | Do you have any other family in the Brotherhood? | Neutral 50 | Just my parents, but they haven't been around for a long time. Dad was a Paladin, Mom was a Scribe. | 353 |
Neutral 50 | They died in the same battle trying to hold off the NCR from... something. I don't remember what it was. Guess it seemed important at the time. | 354 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic122 | Are you well respected among other members of the Brotherhood? | Neutral 50 | If you take trying to keep me as far away from Hidden Valley as possible because I ask too many difficult questions as a sign of respect, {"absolutely"} oh yeah. | 355 |
Neutral 50 | That's not to say I don't get along with them. I just think they don't know what to do with me sometimes. | 356 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic123 | A dress? | Neutral 50 | Yeah! A good one. Something elegant and classy, you know? But still stylish. | 357 |
Neutral 50 | Something that's eye-catching and sexy, but also says "don't fuck with me." | 358 | ||
Neutral 50 | I keep hoping I'll come across some Old World designer gown when I'm scavenging, but it never happens. Maybe I should move back to California. | 359 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic124 | Tell me something else about you. | Neutral 50 | Can I make it up? | 360 |
Tell me something else about you. | Neutral 50 | Like what? | 361 | |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic125 | That's your goal? You want a nice dress? | Neutral 50 | Hey, you try getting a date wearing Scribe robes. Might as well be wearing sweatpants. | 362 |
Neutral 50 | I just like 'em, you know? They make you feel like a woman. Those ladies before the War, they knew what they were doing. | 363 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic126 | Where is he now? | Neutral 50 | I don't know. Last time anyone saw him was in the battle at HELIOS One. I wasn't there. | 364 |
Neutral 50 | He gave orders to hold the plant until it could be reactivated. But he ran out of time. The NCR overran it. Everyone thought he was dead. | 365 | ||
Neutral 50 | But I got a note from him at a comm station. That's... how he liked to talk, even to me. He wasn't good at face-to-face. | 366 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic127 | Were you close? | Neutral 50 | Yeah. I miss him. | 367 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic128 | What did you learn from him? | Neutral 50 | Elijah could look at an old device and immediately understand what made it work. And he could see its potential. Where it fit with other technology. | 368 |
Neutral 50 | It's not something you can teach, but he tried with me. {Shrugging} Some of it stuck. | 369 | ||
Neutral 50 | But that's what he taught me. You asked what I {emph} learned from him. | 370 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic129 | Let's talk about something else. | Neutral 50 | {Elongate the 'o'} Okay. | 371 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic130 | How is that different? What did you learn from him? | Neutral 50 | I learned what I don't want to become. | 372 |
Neutral 50 | In the end, there was just him and his vision. Nothing and no one else. | 373 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic131 | What was in the note? | Neutral 50 | It was... strange. Even for Father Elijah. He's always been unstable, but this was... something else. | 374 |
Neutral 50 | I don't want to say delusional, but I don't know what else to call it. The only thing familiar about it was the signature. | 375 | ||
Neutral 50 | He said the Brotherhood was doomed, but that he'd return, save us. But the {emph} way he said it... I don't know... | 376 | ||
Fear 10 | {Skeptical, but ominous} Said he'd return with one of the greatest treasures of the Old World, make the Mojave like it was meant to be... wipe the slate clean. | 377 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic132 | Did you follow him from California? | Neutral 50 | It was by his request, actually. He cleared it with the other Elders. {To herself} Somehow. {Veronica says the last part to herself b/c she doesn't understand how Elijah was able to convince the Elders (he tricked them).} | 378 |
Neutral 50 | They sent him to look into the Dam. There was a time when I'd have begged to follow. Watch him at work. | 379 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic133 | What changed? | Neutral 50 | {Emph} He did. For years, he fought with the Council. Taught me to question our direction. Meanwhile he'd become more out-of-touch than all of them. | 380 |
Neutral 50 | On our way East he demanded we stop at HELIOS One to examine it. While we were there, we received word that the NCR had taken the Dam. | 381 | ||
Neutral 50 | He was furious. Called it "children playing with a bomb." But he was mad because we'd lost its power. What we'd use it for... he didn't even care. | 382 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic134 | Ever try to talk sense into him? | Neutral 50 | {Sadly} Yeah, I did. I couldn't help him. | 383 |
Neutral 50 | {Slight frustration} He just didn't listen. And the idea that people talked {emp} back to him... | 384 | ||
Neutral 50 | {Sighs} If he could have made the Brotherhood act like machines, ordering them around with a push of a button, he would have. | 385 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic135 | How is that different from how any other Elder would've reacted? | Neutral 50 | They're cautious. When they discover something, they respect it, learn its limits, consider how to preserve it. Used to drive Father Elijah crazy. | 386 |
Neutral 50 | He liked to learn limits, too, but only so he could push them. | 387 | ||
Neutral 50 | That's not to excuse the other Elders, though. They all covet technology for its own sake. Some are just more fanatical than others. | 388 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic136 | Why is the Brotherhood interested in Nevada? | Neutral 50 | It was the Dam, really. We'd heard rumors it was working. Figured we could claim it, put it to use. | 389 |
Neutral 50 | {Putting it delicately} And... it may also have been partly that our Elder at the time had worn out his welcome. | 390 | ||
Neutral 50 | Didn't end up mattering. We got sidetracked at HELIOS One and the NCR took the Dam in the meantime. We're still after it, though. In theory. | 391 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic137 | Ever been in love? | Happy 50 | {Playful} Ever been nosy? | 392 |
Happy 15 | {Sincere} I was, once. We were pretty young, but I like to think it was love. | 393 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic138 | What happened? | Neutral 50 | She left the Brotherhood. Wanted to put some distance between herself and her parents. | 394 |
Neutral 50 | Since our membership isn't open to outsiders, some members think that obligates all of us to procreate. | 395 | ||
Neutral 50 | You can guess which camp her parents belonged to. | 396 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic139 | You didn't go with her? | Neutral 50 | No. Couldn't bring myself to leave everyone else behind. Couldn't convince her to stay, either. | 397 |
Neutral 50 | I'd hoped love would be enough to influence her decision, but it wasn't. We were both too stubborn. | 398 | ||
Neutral 50 | I don't know where she is now, but I'm sure she's moved on. I still think about her, though. Once in a while. | 399 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic140 | I want to discuss other things. | Neutral 50 | Ooo. Got any juicy gossip? | 400 |
I want to discuss other things. | Neutral 50 | {Pleasant} Sure. | 401 | |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic141 | Sure, teach me. | Neutral 50 | All right, put 'em up. Let's see what you got. | 402 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic142 | Not right now. | Neutral 50 | You sure? Some other time, then. | 403 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic143 | Anything else? | Neutral 50 | Yeah. I've been taking things apart and putting them back together since before I said my first word. | 404 |
Neutral 50 | You want to build something, talk to me, and we can do it right there on the spot. Workbenches are for novices. | 405 | ||
Neutral 50 | Who knows, I might even be able to show you a Brotherhood trick or two. | 406 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic144 | Is there someplace you wanted me to take you? | Neutral 50 | Nowhere specific. I just know there are a lot of groups who're actually doing well for themselves out here. | 407 |
Neutral 50 | I want to understand how and why. See them at work. | 408 | ||
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic145 | Okay. | Neutral 50 | Don't take too long, all right? | 409 |
VDialogueVeronicaVeronicaTopic146 | I changed my mind. I'm not going inside, either. | Neutral 50 | Thanks. Wasn't wild about sticking around here on my own. | 410 |
VEndingVeronica | VEndingVeronica | Neutral 50 | {Narration} At odds with leadership over the Brotherhood's future, Veronica looked to the Mojave Wasteland for an answer both she and they could live with. | 411 |
Neutral 50 | {Narration} But the answer would never come, and the dangers of the world that had left the Brotherhood of Steel behind would eventually claim her life. | 412 | ||
VEndingVeronica | Neutral 50 | {Narration} Hoping to lead the Mojave Brotherhood down a new path, Veronica sought to learn from the thriving cultures of the desert. | 413 | |
Neutral 50 | {Narration} Absent a firm solution, Veronica's expression of frustration with Brotherhood leadership would lead to her banishment. | 414 | ||
Neutral 50 | {Narration} She ended her days a wandering tinker. | 415 | ||
VEndingVeronica | Neutral 50 | {Narration} Despite her departure from the group, the Brotherhood's peace treaty with NCR came as some relief to Veronica. | 416 | |
Neutral 50 | {Narration} Though she remained friendly with surface patrols, she was never again permitted to enter the bunker she once called home. | 417 | ||
Neutral 50 | {Narration} Fearing for the safety of anyone she associated with, she continued her solitary life as a scavenger. | 418 | ||
Neutral 50 | {Narration} But reports would emerge from Mojave scientists and social workers of old equipment miraculously repaired and research notes mysteriously completed. | 419 | ||
VEndingVeronica | Neutral 50 | {Narration} Though she'd seen the writing on the wall, the destruction of the Mojave Brotherhood came far more suddenly than Veronica had expected. | 420 | |
Neutral 50 | {Narration} The news devastated her. Despite her best efforts to leave her past behind, she found herself compelled to make one final journey to Hidden Valley. | 421 | ||
Neutral 50 | {Narration} There, she paid her last respects to the only family she had ever known. | 422 | ||
VEndingVeronica | Neutral 50 | {Narration} The Brotherhood's open aggression along the New Vegas highways troubled Veronica greatly. | 423 | |
Neutral 50 | {Narration} Nevertheless, it removed all doubt from her mind that in leaving them she had made the right choice. | 424 | ||
Neutral 50 | {Narration} Eventually she would take to the road, less in hopes of finding a new home than of leaving memories of the old one behind her. | 425 | ||
VEndingVeronica | Neutral 50 | {Narration} The peace with NCR served to ease Veronica's worries about the Brotherhood's immediate future. | 426 | |
Neutral 50 | {Narration} Still, a distance had arisen between her and her fellow members that would never be bridged. | 427 | ||
Neutral 50 | {Narration} She began secluding herself in crumbling libraries of the Old World, learning of promising technologies she knew the Brotherhood would never adopt. | 428 | ||
VEndingVeronica | Neutral 50 | {Narration} The death of the Mojave Brotherhood came much too soon for Veronica, and in their absence, she felt truly lost. | 429 | |
Neutral 50 | {Narration} Yet in its wake, she took small comfort in her decision to remain by their side through their few remaining days. | 430 | ||
VEndingVeronica | Neutral 50 | {Narration} Veronica put her moral sensibilities aside and supported the Brotherhood's new campaign of aggression as best she could. | 431 | |
Neutral 50 | Yet deep down, she understood that it meant their end would surely be soon to follow. | 432 |

VMS49ElderDiscussion2HELIOS | Neutral 50 | No. It's not. ARCHIMEDES II is an orbital laser. Effective only outdoors in a limited radius and requiring a long recharge. | 492 | |
VMS49ElderDiscussion2HELIOS | Neutral 50 | They'd be marginally more effective. We lost most of the chapter defending glorified artillery. | 493 | |
VMS49ElderDiscussion2HELIOS | Neutral 50 | And nearly died for it. Tomorrow you'd do it all over again, having learned nothing. | 494 | |
