 	 	 	Got more work to do, but it'll be worth it. 	
 	 	 	Plenty of lumber, nails, and food left. That's good. 	
 	 	 	We got a good view up here. 	
 	 	 	We're making good progress. Need to let Paige know. 	Paige is the leader of Ashley's faction, the Settlers
 	 	 	Won't be long and we can call this place home. 	
 	 	 	Never thought I'd see this much green again in my life. 	Appalachia is more verdant than elsewhere in the Wasteland
 	 	 	This beats the coal fields back home by a mile. 	
 	 	 	Appalachia will be a good home to us. A good home. 	
 	 	 	Better keep an eye out for Scorched. Could be anywhere... 	The Scorched are zombie-like monsters
 	 	 	Those Raiders are feisty, but they won't catch us with our guard down. 	
 	 	 	No one's getting kicked out of my settlement without a damn good reason. 	Ashley is an exile from his home, so this is personal
 	 	 	Paige took me in, gave me a new home. How can I repay him? 	Paige is the leader of Ashley's faction, the Settlers
 	 	 	Without Foundation, who knows what I would have done to survive... 	Foundation is the capital of Ashley's faction, the Settlers
 	 	 	We got a pioneering spirit pushing us forward now. 	
 	 	 	Maybe someday we'll get down there and rebuild some of those workers' cities. 	Referring to cities in Appalachia hit with labor strife before the apocalypse
 	 	 	We won't turn you away. 	
 	 	 	Don't suppose you have any construction experience? 	
 	 	 	Don't push too hard on the doorframes. Still got some work to do on those. 	
 	 	 	Put your feet up for a while. We don't bite. 	
 	 	 	Ever been down south through those barren towns? 	
 	 	 	Head to Foundation if you need a place to call home. 	
 	 	 	Hope you're not traveling alone out there. 	
 	 	 	Stay as long as you like, but we'll put you to work eventually. 	
 	 	 	Keep idle too long and you'll lose your way. 	
 	 	 	We'll have your back, if you have ours. 	
 	 	 	You're welcome here, so long as you don't cause any trouble. 	
 	 	 	What can I do for you? 	
 	 	 	Looking for some shelter from the great outdoors? 	
 	 	 	You need something? We're friendly, within reason. 	
 	 	 	Something I can do for you? 	
 	 	 	Sure thing. 	
 	 	 	A new home. 	
 	 	 	Nothing's more satisfying than turning this hellish world of ours into a place worth living in. 	
 	 	 	The town I grew up in was part of a little group of towns that all banded together after the Great War. 	
 	 	 	That kept everyone safe and protected for most of my life, but we had to make sacrifices. 	
 	 	 	When food got tight, we drew lots. I got the short straw. They threw me out on my own. 	
 	 	 	Just when I thought I'd have to turn to raiding, I came across Paige's group. They were heading south in search of a new life in Appalachia.	
 	 	 	Sounded good to me. I joined up and have been with them ever since. 	
 	 	 	My father was a good man. A working man. Sadly he's passed on. 	
 	 	 	They say before the war he fought the power to keep his job and feed his family. 	
 	 	 	Reminds me of some stories I've heard of old Appalachia. I can empathize. 	
 	 	 	You won't get an argument from me on that point. 	
 	 	 	My town wasn't much better... The Bombs lit our coal mines on fire. They've been burning for as long as I can remember. 	
 	 	 	Reminds me of southern Appalachia. Maybe for that reason, I'd like to rebuild that place someday. 	
 	 	 	No, afraid not. I'm from further north. A place they used to call Pennsylvania. 	
 	 	 	Grew up in a small town where my padre used to mine coal. 	
 	 	 	Came to Appalachia with Paige and his group as they moved south to greener pastures. 	
 	 	 	Okay, ask away then. 	
 	 	 	I think my views align with what you'd expect. 	
 	 	 	The Raiders are violent psychopaths. Steer clear of them. 	
 	 	 	The Brotherhood of Steel is a pretentious, overbearing organization that wants to control the world. 	
 	 	 	The Blue Ridge Caravan Company is a bit shady, but their business helps everyone in the area. 	
 	 	 	And the Responders should be our closest allies. I don't like that they play the neutral party. 	
 	 	 	We're at odds with the Raiders. That should be obvious... who isn't? 	
 	 	 	We work with the Brotherhood of Steel when we have to, but we won't let them dominate us. 	
 	 	 	We get on well enough with the Responders and Blue Ridge Caravan Company. They provide helpful services to us all. 	
 	 	 	Alright. Shoot. 	
 	 	 	We have little homesteads here and there, but our biggest settlement is Foundation, southeast of here. 	
 	 	 	That's where we set up shop when we first arrived in Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	Stop by if you're in the neighborhood. It's a sight to behold -- a real town, like before the war. 	
 	 	 	He'll deny it, but Paige in Foundation is the closest thing to a leader we've got. 	
 	 	 	He's in charge of construction, and we do a lot of that. Plus he really rallied us on our way down to Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	He gave me a place to call home. I'd follow him anywhere. 	
 	 	 	We just want to build up this wasteland we call home and make it a safe place to live and raise a family. 	
 	 	 	Nothing more, nothing less. No grand ambition. We just want to live peacefully. 	
 	 	 	Safe travels, wherever you're headed. 	
 	 	 	I can tell you what I know. 	
 	 	 	Well, if you want me to. 	
 	 	 	Of course. What do you want to know?
