 	 	 	Okay... wish me luck. 	He sounds almost giddy
 	 	 	In my bag, I've got a sketch of something that should do the trick. You'll know it when you see it. 	Suggestion, but more of a strong request
 	 	 	I overheard they took my stuff to the Sludge Works. It's not too far from here, I think. 	
 	 	 	Fair enough. Look, they cleaned me out when they grabbed me, but... I have some spare caps in my shoe. Here, take it. 	
 	 	 	You probably shouldn't. I've done some bad things, and I've hurt people. 	Trying to be honest
 	 	 	All I'm asking for is a fresh start. 	sincere
 	 	 	Nope. After they grabbed me, the gang burned my digs to the ground. I got nothing. 	irritated
 	 	 	Sounds like a plan, but I need you to build something that I can recognize from a distance. If I see it at your place, I'll know I'm welcome. 	Agreeable
 	 	 	I'll run interference while you get the heck out of here. Distract those morons, you know the drill. 	
 	 	 	Where should we meet up after all this? Do you have some sort of place where you're squatting? 	
 	 	 	I'll make a lot of noise and try to draw them off while you do your thing. 	
 	 	 	It's my bag full of radio signals, contacts, maps, general notes that I took so I could destroy these shits once and for all. 	It's important to him
 	 	 	Also has some of my personal belongings in it. A sketch I made for a bar I wanted to open someday... when things settle down. Goals, you know? 	For a moment, he thinks things might be okay
 	 	 	Good. 	a bit relieved
 	 	 	Listen. I need to ask you for one other thing before we get out of this place. 	Wincing at the end, he knows it's a big ask
 	 	 	The gang took a bunch of my stuff. Things that I need in order to track down their leaders. 	
 	 	 	Can you help me get them back? 	Hurried, he thinks this should work though
 	 	 	The key should be around here somewhere... probably in the room where the guy running this place sleeps. 	Hurried whispering from a jail cell
 	 	 	Be careful, please! 	Hurried whispering from a jail cell
 	 	 	Fine, fine. I guess. Please come back though, okay? 	Scared, whispering loudly, he's in jail
 	 	 	Oh, for the love of... 	Irritated, quietly, he's in jail
 	 	 	The warm fuzzy feeling that you saved the life of a reformed man? No? How about information. I know things that are valuable. 	Whispering, in jail, panicked
 	 	 	Look. I need to get out of here. These Blood Eagles are going to kill me, but only after they mess me up. You get me? It's not going to be pleasant.	Desperate, scared
 	 	 	Thought I heard something. Ugh. This place. 	Quietly muttering to himself. Startled by the player.
 	 	 	Can you help me or what? 	Quietly muttering to himself. Startled by the player.
 	 	 	Hey, can you just... help me out here? 	Quietly muttering to himself. Startled by the player.
 	 	 	Can't believe this. 	He can't believe he was caught.
 	 	 	Gonna have to jump a guard or something... damn it. 	Muttering to himself.
 	 	 	You really screwed up this time, Beckett. 	Muttering to himself.
 	 	 	Maybe I can... convince them... ugh. No. 	Muttering to himself.
 	 	 	I need these sad shits out of my life. 	Muttering to himself.
 	 	 	I can't keep doing this shit. 	
 	 	 	Hey! Hey you. You need to let me out of here. 	Trapped in a jail cell
 	 	 	Hey, I need your help. Please? I know you're not with the others. 	Trapped in a jail cell
 	 	 	Thanks. We're not in the clear yet, are we? 	Nervous, worried, but sees a glimmer of hope
 	 	 	You kidding me? I'm so fired up, I'm ready to KILL. Just get this cell unlocked. 	quietly, he's in jail
 	 	 	You think? Look, you get me out of here first and then we'll trade campfire stories. Now's not the time. 	quietly, he's in jail
 	 	 	Now you're talking. 	
 	 	 	You serious? I'm talking about torture. Removing things that are supposed to be attached. Pain. Am I getting through? 	Irritated, quietly, he's in jail
 	 	 	Quick version, okay? I used to be a part of this gang. I left. They nabbed me, and now they want to make a lesson out of me. How's that? 	annoyed, quietly, he's in jail
 	 	 	It's mine, okay? I've already spent too much time gathering information on these idiots... I can't afford to start over. 	eyeroll
 	 	 	Believe me, if I wanted you to steal something for me, I'd be straight with you about it. 	
 	 	 	Sigh. Yes and no. As far as the Blood Eagles are concerned "yes." As far as you and I are concerned "no." 	you don't have time for this
 	 	 	How about we do story time later? Just get me out of here!

 	 	 	Anyway, here's the plan. Ronny's going to head to the main garage entrance and get her gang revved up. 	laying out the plan - this is important
 	 	 	In the meantime, we're going to cut our way through the Eagles and head to the garage control room to get the door open from the inside. Clear enough?	laying out the plan - this is important
 	 	 	Yup. 	
 	 	 	There's a garage entrance on the other side of the complex that can only be opened from the inside. That's where we let Ronny and her gang roll in. 	
 	 	 	We need to get to the control room and hit the switch that will open the bay door. Simple enough, if we get there in one piece. 	
 	 	 	Yeah, and get this... they even got some of the Watoga Underground's robots up and running to throw in our path. 	
 	 	 	I guess we've worn them down so much, they're getting desperate. Not that they were level-headed to start with... 	
 	 	 	One more thing. The Claw is the only one who knows where they're keeping Frankie. So don't go all gun-happy on me until I give the go ahead. 	spell this out - this is the MOST important thing
 	 	 	Did you need something before we head out? 	
 	 	 	You're here! Now it's a party. 	in a joking way, like "heck yeah"
 	 	 	I don't know what to do. I never expected anything like this... please, I need your help. 	you're so lost, you're depending on the player to help you
 	 	 	Well, I guess we're done here. 	you just shot your brother
 	 	 	I can't believe I was able to talk him through that. 	you're emotionally spent
 	 	 	Let's keep moving. 	mid-mission, you're going through enemy base
 	 	 	We still have more ground to cover. Let's go. 	mid-mission, you're going through enemy base
 	 	 	Frankie's down here somewhere... I know it. 	mid-mission, you're going through enemy base
 	 	 	Keep going, we need to find Frankie before The Claw has him killed.... or worse. 	mid-mission, you're going through enemy base
 	 	 	Damn Blood Eagles. Let's make 'em all pay. 	mid-mission, you're going through enemy base
 	 	 	What are you waiting for? Hit the damn switch! 	mid-mission, you're going through enemy base
 	 	 	Come on! Let's wipe 'em all out! 	mid-mission, you're going through enemy base
 	 	 	Not... now. 	You're dealing with confronting The Claw
 	 	 	Don't worry about Frankie... I'll bring him somewhere safe. 	you're emotionally spent
 	 	 	You head back to camp, I'll take care of Frankie. Thanks, friend. Thanks for everything. 	you're emotionally spent
 	 	 	I'll see you back at camp. Thanks for your help... I couldn't have done this without you. 	you're emotionally spent
 	 	 	I... I need a little time alone if you don't mind. I'll see you back at camp. 	somber - your brother's dead, but the ordeal is over
 	 	 	All this and I still couldn't save him. 	(to self) somber - your brother's dead, but the ordeal is over
 	 	 	Thanks for everything, I just need to be alone right now, okay? 	(to self) somber - your brother's dead, but the ordeal is over
 	 	 	Yeah, I guess I never thought of it that way. 	
 	 	 	Though, to be fair, mowing down a bunch of the Blood Eagles was a bit of selfish payback as well. 	
 	 	 	No, I can't. Look... I know I've asked so much of you already... but please, help me end my journey. 	
 	 	 	I can't do this alone. 	
 	 	 	No. This has to end here. Today. 	
 	 	 	The Claw must be just a name the Blood Eagles have used for different people over the years. 	
 	 	 	I'm not sure how Frankie took The Claw's place before we got here, but I'm sure it has something to do with the chems. 	
 	 	 	I don't know. I'm one of three Blood Eagles to ever "escape" their brainwashing and kick the chem habit. 	
 	 	 	It was painful... it almost killed me. I don't know if Frankie can survive that. 	
 	 	 	Oh my god, you're right, I let him get inside my head. I need to focus. 	
 	 	 	I was afraid you were going to say that, but in my heart, I know that you're right. 	
 	 	 	I don't know if Frankie's in there or not anymore. Maybe he's too far gone to save and I should just pull the trigger. Please, help me. 	
 	 	 	Look, man... I'm sorry, okay? I was wrong. I shouldn't have stuffed you away like that. We should have stuck together. It's... it's all my fault. 	you're sort of breaking down at this point, the emotion of this encounter is cutting through your tough exterior
 	 	 	Come on, Frankie. Snap out of it. You're my brother and I need you to come home. 	
 	 	 	Frankie, listen to me. You got to fight this! It's the chems, they did something to you. Changed you. This isn't you, man... you can beat this thing! 	recovered from the shock, pushing back hard
 	 	 	No... no way. This doesn't make any sense! You're The Claw? How's that possible? 	still in shock
 	 	 	Wait. What the hell?! Frankie... is that you? 	The guy you thought kidnapped your brother turns out to BE your brother, so shock
 	 	 	If my head weren't all out of whack worrying about this last push, I'd be... well, I'd be more into what you're laying down. 	player just hit on you
 	 	 	All that matters to me right now is getting my brother out of this hellhole alive. When we get back, we can talk about us. Cool? 	player hit on you
 	 	 	We know, Ronny. We know. 	
 	 	 	Yup, I'll be there. 	
 	 	 	Not much really, that part of Appalachia is more Ronny's territory. 	
 	 	 	I think it was some kind of an underground parking garage... the perfect place for those rats to nest. 	"rats" being the Blood Eagles, so lots of disdain there
 	 	 	Hmmm. No, I don't think so. 	It's possible, but unlikely, you had to think about it a sec
 	 	 	She screws us over, it's not like The Claw is going to fill her pockets with caps. He'd just off her and be done with the whole thing. 	
 	 	 	Nah. She's got our back. I'm sure of it. 	
 	 	 	Not this time. Bar's closed until we finish this. 	
 	 	 	Ronny bribed someone into getting a key to an unused entrance to Watoga Underground. 	
 	 	 	She's also bringing Edwi... well, her entire gang. If the Blood Eagles wanted a fight, they've sure got one. 	you almost said "Edwin's entire gang" then you remembered Edwin's pretty much done being a gang leader
 	 	 	I already told my gang. Any of them shoots The Claw, they gotta answer to me. 	you really mean it
 	 	 	All right. Good luck. See you both on the other side. 	say this like lock and load again - you're heading into a hell of a battle
 	 	 	I'm sorry, Frankie. Sorry for everything. 	youre about to kill your brother
 	 	 	And so... a new Claw is reborn! 	You want to play these lines crazy. You're under the influence of chems, think The Joker, but don't go too overboard.
 	 	 	Let me do this... I have to be the one. 	
 	 	 	Let me talk to him. 	
 	 	 	Frankie. I want you to look at me. 	gathering confidence
 	 	 	Look? Yes... look! Look beyond this shell made of skin and bone. Look deep, and witness the soul of The Claw. 	You want to play these lines crazy. You're under the influence of chems, think The Joker, but don't go too overboard.
 	 	 	Focus on my voice, Frankie. It's just me and you against the world, buddy... just like old times. Come on man, focus. 	staying the course, talking your crazed brother down
 	 	 	I know you've been hurt, Frankie. I know I wasn't there for you, especially when you needed me the most. And I'm sorry. 	
 	 	 	*Laughs* No, no. It's not that easy, Beckett. The Claw demands a high price for failure. The price is suffering. 	You want to play these lines crazy. You're under the influence of chems, think The Joker, but don't go too overboard.
 	 	 	Listen to me, Frankie. Do you remember when we were kids and we were playing near that bombed-out factory in Maryland? 	
 	 	 	Then those rabid dogs jumped out and surprised us? We ran and ran, but then I fell into that ditch and twisted my leg like a dumbass. Right? 	
 	 	 	I told you to run, but what did you say to me, man? Try and remember. 	
 	 	 	...no matter how bad things became. Yeah. That's exactly right. 	you finished the brother's thought and you're reverting to a calmer tone to drive in the final nail
 	 	 	You fought off those dogs with nothing but a goddamn broken baseball bat. It almost killed you, man. You... you saved me. 	you're reverting to a calmer tone to drive in the final nail
 	 	 	You were so cut up from the fight, I thought I was going to lose you, Frankie. 	you're reverting to a calmer tone to drive in the final nail
 	 	 	No. There's no Claw, there's no Blood Eagles. There's just me and you right now. So shut up and listen! 	you're sick of the babbling bullshit, you're pushing your hardest here to get him on your side
 	 	 	After the dogs were gone and you reached into the ditch to help me out. What. Did. You. Say? 	you're pushing your hardest here to get him on your side - elevated voice
 	 	 	Tell me! Goddamn it, Frankie, tell me! 	you're pushing your hardest here to get him on your side - elevated voice?
 	 	 	I know it hurts, man. I know it does. But whatever it takes, we'll get through this together. 	you did it... he's on your side, now finish the moment
 	 	 	We're family and I love you, Frankie. Always have, always will. 	
 	 	 	I know, and I'm not angry with you. 	
 	 	 	Well, if I didn't, it's certainly too late to change my mind now. 	
 	 	 	Yeah, I know, but I don't need to hear that out loud... you know what I mean? 	that stung a little
 	 	 	If anything, I should be angry with myself. This is all my fault to begin with. I started him down this path by not being there for him. 	
 	 	 	And, to make matters worse, I was such a chicken shit, I forced you to make this decision. What the hell have I done? 	
 	 	 	He was my kid brother, watching me having the time of my life in these stupid raider gangs instead of trying to make an honest living. 	
 	 	 	So of course, he followed in my footsteps, fell in with the wrong crowd... and now he's dead because of me. 	
 	 	 	Doesn't make the pain go away, but you're right. 	
 	 	 	Sigh. Look, uh. I need some... time. To bury my brother and get myself together, okay? 	
 	 	 	Head back to your C.A.M.P. and I'll meet you there soon. And before you ask, yes... I'll be fine. 	
 	 	 	See you soon. 	
 	 	 	I'm glad one of us did. 	
 	 	 	Proud of me for not murdering my brother? I suppose that's high praise for a former raider. 	
 	 	 	You and me both. I think I almost pulled my gun more than a few times. 	
 	 	 	If anything, I should be disappointed with myself. This is all my fault to begin with. I started him down this path by not being there for him. 	
 	 	 	And, to make matters worse, I was such a chicken shit, I forced you to make this decision. Not my finest hour. 	
 	 	 	And I have yours. Forever. I mean that. 	
 	 	 	Every word of it. If I had made some of it up, I don't think it would have gotten through. 	
 	 	 	Sigh. Okay... I'm going to bring Frankie to a friend I know who can help him fully recover from his addiction. 	
 	 	 	Head back to your C.A.M.P. and I'll meet you there soon. And before you say anything, yes, I promise to show up, don't worry. 	
 	 	 	Have a safe trip back. 	
 	 	 	This is bigger than I thought, no wonder the Eagles are looting the place. 	there are a number of shops and places to eat

 	 	 	Been a good day, got a lot of info from folks. 	He has an available quest and is hinting that the player should talk to him.
 	 	 	Trying not to forget the details on that tip... maybe I should write it down. 	He has an available quest and is hinting that the player should talk to him.
 	 	 	Hmm, just gotta grab the boss sometime before I forget about that job. 	He has an available quest and is hinting that the player should talk to him.
 	 	 	Let's see... yup... pretty well stocked here and ready for business. 	to self at your bar
 	 	 	My own bar... finally. Man, I still can't believe it. 	bartending
 	 	 	Bar's open! Got the good stuff right here. 	literally tending bar
 	 	 	I'm out of the gangs, got a bar of my own, and the drinks are cold. Life doesn't get any better than this. 	Quietly, happily. His woes are over
 	 	 	Off the chems and surrounded by friends. This is the life. 	Quietly, happily. His woes are over
 	 	 	There's pretty much nowhere else I'd rather be. How many people can say that these days? 	Quietly, happily. His woes are over
 	 	 	I am one lucky man, that's for sure. 	Quietly, happily. His woes are over
 	 	 	I need a hobby. Oh wait, that's... the whole bartending thing. 	Muttering to himself in an amused way
 	 	 	I've got a real good thing going for me here. 	Quietly, happily. His woes are over
 	 	 	Live and let live. Unless they don't let live. Then they die. 	Thinking, then a little serious
 	 	 	Everything seems so different when you aren't attacking it all. 	Happily, peacefully
 	 	 	We gotta protect what we have. It's worth it. 	Thinking, then a little serious
 	 	 	Okay, let's see... the things I miss about gang life.... 	Wondering
 	 	 	Uh. Nothing. Huh. Short list. 	Amused
 	 	 	My life has changed so much so quickly... 	A bit of doubt, quiet, calm
 	 	 	My dreams need to settle down... 	A bit of doubt, quiet, calm
 	 	 	Wish I could have reached more of them. 	Quietly, sadly
 	 	 	Kicking back with a drink and just admiring the scenery... doesn't get much better than this. 	Admiring the landscape quietly
 	 	 	So colorful, so wild... you don't need chems to appreciate a place like this. 	Admiring the landscape
 	 	 	Probably could have camped in a safer place than the Bog, but who am I to judge? 	half irritated, half wink
 	 	 	Of all the places to set up camp, why the Bog? Yeesh. 	yeesh like "yuck"
 	 	 	Nice up here in the mountains, but damn I wish that wacky robot would stop blabbing over the radio. 	to self
 	 	 	Hope we're planning to stay up here in the mountains... always the perfect weather for drinking. 	to self
 	 	 	Ugh, the Ash Heap sucks. Nothing I love more than sucking in fumes while I sleep. 	to self
 	 	 	Wow... you can uh, actually taste the air here. Lovely. 	to self - sarcasm
 	 	 	Once you get over the smell of cake frosting mixed with battery acid, this place really grows on you. 	to self
 	 	 	I'll be amazed if I get a single customer out here, everything smells like unwashed feet. 	to self
 	 	 	I dreamed of the Mothman the other night... I think it was a dream anyway. 	Admiring the landscape
 	 	 	Nice digs around here, I hope we can stay. 	to self
 	 	 	Today's weather: a hundred percent chance of rads followed by death. Stay tuned. 	sarcastic mock weather report - you're inside a nuked zone
 	 	 	Nice weather around here. Always wanted to grow an extra arm or two. 	to self - you're inside a nuked zone
 	 	 	Don't we have enough problems without people dropping nukes everywhere? 	to self - you're in a nuked zone
 	 	 	I could watch you walk around all day long. 	Said to a romantic partner
 	 	 	Hey, where've you been? Getting kind of lonely over here. 	Said to a romantic partner.
 	 	 	My oh my. I'm here for you all day... 	Said to a romantic partner. Appreciative
 	 	 	You know, I was just thinking about that thing you do. Yeah, that. 	Said to a romantic partner.
 	 	 	I love it when you look at me like that. 	Said to a romantic partner. Appreciative
 	 	 	Things will be okay. 	Said to a romantic partner or bff
 	 	 	Good seeing you again. 	Said to a romantic partner or bff
 	 	 	You're too late. I'm already halfway drunk! 	Said to a romantic partner or bff. Jokingly.
 	 	 	You picked a good spot for this place. 	Said to a romantic partner or bff. Jokingly.
 	 	 	It's nice to have company, but not be... you know, in a gang. 	Said to a friend, sort of jokingly
 	 	 	Things will be okay, right? 	Said to a friend
 	 	 	You really saved me, you know that? 	Said to a friend
 	 	 	You've got a great place here. 	Said to a friend
 	 	 	It's always good to see you around, friend. 	Said to a friend
 	 	 	Thanks for letting me crash here for a bit. 	Said to someone he just met.
 	 	 	Let me know if I'm in your way. 	Said to someone he just met.
 	 	 	Don't mind me, just taking it all in... 	Said to anyone, friend or romantic partner or just met
 	 	 	Having a good one, I hope? 	Said to anyone, friend or romantic partner or just met
 	 	 	Back for more Beckett, eh? Can't say I blame ya... 	Player accepted the quest already but wants to talk some more with Beckett.
 	 	 	Wanted to take a breather before heading out, hmm? I hear that. 	Player wants to talk with Beckett before they finish their quest.
 	 	 	If you feel like talking, then shoot. 	Player accepted the quest, but wants to grab a drink and chat before they head out.
 	 	 	I do believe that I saw Sage meandering around. Might be worth a quick chat first. 	Someone stopped by that the player should speak with.
 	 	 	I thought I heard something... scuffling around. Got a sec? Let's look around. 	Someone stopped by that the player should speak with.
 	 	 	I heard some interesting stuff recently. Have a moment? 	Said to someone he doesn't know well. He's offering a quest.
 	 	 	So I heard something that you might find particularly interesting, my friend. 	Said to someone he doesn't know well. He's offering a quest.
 	 	 	There you are. Listen up. 	Said to someone he's very good friends with. Offering a quest.
 	 	 	I'm always glad when you stop by. So hey, I've got news. 	Said to someone he's very good friends with. Offering a quest.
 	 	 	Mmm-mm. Look at that. I've been waiting for you to brighten my day. Allow me to return the favor. 	Said to someone he's romantic with. Offering a quest.
 	 	 	You certainly know how to make a man almost lose his train of thought, you know that? Let me see... oh yes. 	Said to someone he's romantic with. Offering a quest.
 	 	 	I have a secret I'll share with you, but you need to get close. 	Said to someone he's romantic with. Offering a quest.
 	 	 	As much as I hate sending you away, I have something for you. 	offering a quest to a romantic partner
 	 	 	I love it when you stop by, even for just a moment. 	Said to a romantic partner
 	 	 	Well, hey there... my day just got a little brighter. 	Said to a romantic partner with a wink
 	 	 	You need anything, just say the word, and I'll make it happen. 	Said to a romantic partner - warm
 	 	 	You are such a sight for sore eyes. 	Said to a romantic partner.
 	 	 	What can I do for you, boss? 	Said to a very good friend. bff.
 	 	 	Anything for you, boss. 	Said to a very good friend. bff.
 	 	 	Something you want to talk about, my friend? 	Said to a friend.
 	 	 	What's on your mind, my friend? 	They're going to just chat casuallly.
 	 	 	Tell me, what can ol' Beckett do for you today? 	They're going to just chat casuallly.
 	 	 	Wow, the bar looks great. Even better than I'd imagined. Thanks for giving me a place to crash. 	impressed
 	 	 	Sounds like we have a visitor somewhere. 	Someone stopped by that the player should speak with.
 	 	 	So... did you find it? 	Excited.
 	 	 	He ran off, right? He does that. Don't worry, he'll find us when he wants to. 	Excited.
 	 	 	You got the key... nice. You're an animal, you know that? I uh... mean that in a positive way, of course. 	
 	 	 	Ronny is going to be thrilled to hear Bronx is dead. 	
 	 	 	So, Star's no longer with us I assume. Good. 	
 	 	 	Holy shit, oh my god... I'm glad you're back. I've got some news you need to hear. 	talking to yourself at beginning here - big problem, and you've been waiting for player
 	 	 	Geez, this diary is worse than I even remembered... I hope it wasn't too much trouble. 	Kind of mocking it.
 	 	 	I'm glad you found Sage. He's probably wrestling with some inner... or... outer demons right now. Best to give him some space. 	
 	 	 	I'm glad you found Edwin's key. Damn guy won't shut up about it. 	
 	 	 	So, that was Sage... 	
 	 	 	Now that we have their Buffout supply in hand, the Blood Eagles will have a harder time growing their gang. Score another one for us. 	
 	 	 	One Blood Eagle leader down, and two more to go. 	
 	 	 	Ronny needs a Nurse Bot so let's get her one. 	
 	 	 	Look... I know I've asked a lot, but please... I need you to hear me out on this. 	
 	 	 	Something you wanted to talk about? 	Player accepted the quest, but wants to grab a drink and chat before they head out.
 	 	 	You might as well rest up before you head out again. 	Player accepted the quest, but wants to grab a drink and chat before they head out.
 	 	 	You need anything before you head back out? 	Player accepted the quest, but wants to grab a drink and chat before they head out.
 	 	 	Can I help you with anything before you take off? 	Player accepted the quest, but wants to grab a drink and chat before they head out.
 	 	 	Hey, I'm here if you need anything. Just ask. 	Player accepted the quest, but wants to grab a drink and chat before they head out.
 	 	 	If you need anything... a talk, a drink, I'm here for you, friend. 	Player accepted the quest, but wants to grab a drink and chat before they head out.
 	 	 	If you want to talk, I'm here. I won't judge you... much. 	Player accepted the quest, but wants to grab a drink and chat before they head out.
 	 	 	Thanks for everything you've been doing to help me. If you need anything, you just say the word, friend. 	Player accepted the quest, but wants to grab a drink and chat before they head out.
 	 	 	Look, I can't thank you enough for everything you're doing. If you need a minute to talk before you, go, I'm here for you. 	Player accepted the quest, but wants to grab a drink and chat before they head out.
 	 	 	There you are! Two down, one to go, eh? We're on a damn roll! 	
 	 	 	You ready to get this done? We're so damn close. 	
 	 	 	Got a moment? 	
 	 	 	Hey! There you are. Had some news for you about Frankie. 	this is post a huge dungeon you were worried player wouldn't come back from
 	 	 	I think Sage is around here somewhere. I know it's rough, but you might want to hear what he has to say. 	Someone stopped by that the player should speak with.
 	 	 	Target eliminated? Good, good. Is there anything else you needed? 	
 	 	 	Scratched another target, eh? Perfect. Need to chat about anything else? 	
 	 	 	Told you that target wouldn't be too rough. Need anything else for the moment? 	
 	 	 	Dead targets mean caps for both of us... and that's a good thing, am I right? Care to spend them on a drink or maybe just talk? 	
 	 	 	Yup, this is what I sent you after. Is there anything else you needed? 	
 	 	 	Oh, yeah... this will do nicely. Need to chat about anything else? 	
 	 	 	Found the item already? Damn, you're good. Need anything else for the moment? 	
 	 	 	Yup, this looks just like it did in the picture. Care to spend those hard-earned caps at the bar or something? 	
 	 	 	Word is you saved our target, so mission accomplished. Is there anything else you needed? 	
 	 	 	Another rescue job complete. Right on time, too. Need to chat about anything else? 	
 	 	 	Wow. Never expected these rescue jobs to be so lucrative. Who knew? Anyway, need anything else? 	
 	 	 	Caps keep pouring in from all these rescues you're completing. Love it. Feel like spending a couple at my bar or something? 	
 	 	 	Thanks for running that job for me... er, us. Anything else I can do for you? 	
 	 	 	Done already? Whew. You're killing it, friend. What else can I get for you? 	
 	 	 	Another job well done... you never cease to amaze me, friend. Is there anything else you needed? 	
 	 	 	Making caps from these jobs feels good, right? Say... maybe you'd like to spend a few at my bar or something? 	
 	 	 	Oh, I know you do. 	Would blow the player a kiss if he could.
 	 	 	There's always more where that comes from. 	Innuendos
 	 	 	I know you can handle it. You always can. 	Speaking to a friend or lover.
 	 	 	Of course. Anything for you, my dear friend. 	Speaking to a friend or lover.
 	 	 	Be careful out there, will you? 	Speaking to a friend or lover. Starting to catch the feels.
 	 	 	Just be careful out there. It's a dangerous world. 	Speaking to a friend or lover.
 	 	 	No problem. Take care of yourself, I'm starting to like you. 	Speaking to a friend or lover.
 	 	 	Of course. It's the least I can do for a friend. 	Speaking to a friend or lover.
 	 	 	Be careful out there, friend. 	Speaking to a friend, but not a lover.
 	 	 	I hope so. I like living here, you know? Be careful. 	Speaking to a friend, but not a lover.
 	 	 	No problem. Good luck out there. 	Speaking to a friend, but not a lover.
 	 	 	No problem. Take care. 	Speaking to the player. They don't know each other well.
 	 	 	Of course. Be careful. 	Speaking to the player. They don't know each other well.
 	 	 	I asked several of my very best drunk visitors to make sure you have the most up to date information. 	
 	 	 	It doesn't matter, really. Don't worry, I'd never send you into harm's way unless I thought it was worth your time. 	
 	 	 	I know a bunch of traders who would love to get their mitts on it. Which tells me that it's pretty valuable. 	Trying to interest the player
 	 	 	I was told that it's well guarded, and it'll be a slog to get to it. But it's probably worth the time and effort. 	Trying to interest the player
 	 	 	A couple visitors stopped by while you're out. We traded info. I told them things they need to know about the Blood Eagles. They give me tips. 	Matter-of-factly
 	 	 	It's my business, you know? It's what I do when you're away. I trade secrets, and I give you good ones as a rent payment. 	He says this in a friendly way, in a "now you know" sort of way.
 	 	 	How do you know what you know? You just... pick things up as you go along, right? That's all it is, really. 	Answering the question of how he knows this stuff. Answering to a friend.
 	 	 	I just have one of those faces -- a dashingly handsome face that people trust implicitly or punch repeatedly. There isn't much of a middle ground. 	He knows he's good looking.
 	 	 	Best way to learn is to listen... and sympathize, and try to relate somehow back to yourself. People like being heard. 	Explaining how he knows about this armor.
 	 	 	Someone I used to know a very long time ago dropped by. We had a long chat. I picked up some details that I thought might interest you. That's all. 	A little secretive, but still friendly.
 	 	 	Does it matter? It's good information. I mean that in the most sincere way, friend. 	He doesn't want to reveal his sources but the info is legit.
 	 	 	Picked this up from some settler who was just passing through on her way to Foundation. 	Matter-of-factly
 	 	 	Not really. Just that I know you can do this, I've seen you do this sort of stuff before. You're an animal, my friend. An animal. 	Admires your work, joking
 	 	 	Trust me, I wouldn't send you off away from me if I didn't think it was worth your time. I'll be here when you get back. 	
 	 	 	I know you can handle this, really. Good luck all the same. 	Kind warning that he might say to anybody.
 	 	 	Be careful out there. 	Kind warning that he might say to anybody.
 	 	 	That's all I have, really. Good luck out there. Hopefully I'll see you later. 	
 	 	 	If you die, I inherit this place, right? No? Okay. Just wondering. 	Joking
 	 	 	Good luck out there, friend. You can... probably... do it. 	Friendly, but a little hesitant
 	 	 	Someone I trust told me about a stash of stolen equipment -- probably armor. I think you should go grab it. They don't deserve to keep it. 	
 	 	 	Care to do a good deed today? A trader mentioned that she was looking for a missing person. I've got some info, but not a ton. 	
 	 	 	It's... well, there was this Raider named Edwin. Really tough guy. One of their bosses, I guess. Sharpened his teeth into points. You know. Classy. 	Sarcastic about being classy. Guy was a monster.
 	 	 	To piss him off specifically, I stole his sad diary. I was going to read it over loud speakers or something but life... and murder... got in the way. 	A little crass but he does mostly regret it
 	 	 	Anyway the sad diary is stashed somewhere I never thought he'd find it. If you can snatch it, I'll figure out how to return it to him. 	Thinking about how he could do that.
 	 	 	I'm sure at least one of our mutual contacts is still alive... well... I'm not sure, actually... anyway. I'll figure that out on my own. 	Kind of amused.
 	 	 	Okay, yeah. Let's just sit on our thumbs for a while and hope the world just gets better, right? I've been there. But it won't, you know. 	Only a little annoyed. Assumes the player doesn't care.
 	 	 	Okay. Just... look. Not everybody had a charmed existence outside of the Vaults, you know? Some of us got burned. Hard. Literally. 	
 	 	 	I get it. Maybe later, indeed. 	Kind of annoyed.
 	 	 	I get it. Come back when you aren't scared. 	Mockingly, but kinda jokingly too.
 	 	 	Wait. That was old Beckett. I'm sorry. Damn it! Come back when you've got the time... I'm sorry, seriously. 	Genuinely sorry.
 	 	 	Okay, I've got to wait around for Edwin to show up anyway. Gotta keep my options open here. 	
 	 	 	Yeah, I was there once. I'll never forget the stench of that place. Smelled like death. 	
 	 	 	Come to think of it, I remember seeing a bunch of holotapes there... The Eye liked to record his, uh... sessions. May want to grab whatever you find. 	
 	 	 	One of the gang members stopped by earlier and let me know that they got the Nurse Bot and they're having a big party to celebrate his retirement. 	
 	 	 	I'm sure once her headache fades from that, she'll stop by again. 	
 	 	 	What I did was shitty. Even though it was some stupid raider punk. If I give it back, maybe his gang will forgive and forget. I need allies right now. 	He's trying to be optimistic.
 	 	 	It's worth a shot, right? 	Optimisitc, following up on the previous line.
 	 	 	 	intentionally left blank. do not record a line. not even silence.
 	 	 	Sage is a violent murderer, a sloppy thief, and used chems until his brain rotted down to almost nothing. 	Explaining someone who has had some seriously traumatic shit happen to them.
 	 	 	Now he sees the world... differently than we do. Last time I saw him, I was trying to get out of the Blood Eagles and he was joining a new cult. 	Kind of disappointed that he didn't stop him, but beckett wasn't in a good place to help
 	 	 	For a while he was into a Tato cult. They just... spoke to and then... ate Tatos. Um. I try not to judge you know. So... moving on. 	He shakes his head, he doesn't know. Tato is a food.
 	 	 	Then he was in a cult that believed we were all living in some kind of terminal program or robotic AI unit... I don't remember anymore. *sighs* 	Shakes his head, just why. Sighs.
 	 	 	Then he did some Mothman thing. Might still be his jam? Or maybe he's into some other cryptid now? It... doesn't matter, honestly. 	Embarassed type pain
 	 	 	Kinda? I mean, look. I haven't met a cult that I thought was good for him yet. He stays with them for a month or so and then I have to bail him out. 	This has happened before.
 	 	 	All I know is the more he experiments, the more it's messing with his mind. Trust me, you'll see. 	
 	 	 	Well, I don't know for sure. There's a cave that he talked about last time I saw him, so I thought you could try there. 	
 	 	 	When I go talk to Edwin's gang, I'm going to see if they know anything else. I doubt they will, but... I may as well ask while I'm there. 	
 	 	 	Eh. I'm used to dealing with chem fiends. You know? Attention span of a cave cricket at best. 	
 	 	 	I didn't want to waste your time with a giant lone preamble about all the details unless you were actually into it. But I'm open to questions! 	
 	 	 	He wasn't interested in meeting with me just yet, he can't trust me. So he sent someone from his gang -- Ronny. 	
 	 	 	She accepted the diary on his behalf and said Edwin would meet me here at your place soon... when he feels like it. She said I should wait for him. 	
 	 	 	Someone from Edwin's gang decided they wanted out. Honestly, Edwin can get pretty weird, so I can't say I blame them. 	
 	 	 	Anyway, this idiot thought stealing the key and then blaming it on a rival gang would cause all sorts of problems for Edwin. They were right. 	
 	 	 	Some nobody who thinks they have it all figured out. Don't even know their name. Hell, I don't even want to know. I just want that key. 	
 	 	 	The weapons cache isn't really the point. 	
 	 	 	This traitor is clearly trying to goad Edwin's gang and a rival gang into a confrontation. Big mistake. 	
 	 	 	Edwin's had numerous setbacks with his gang lately. It's one of the bigger low key raider gangs around, but... he's shedding respect. 	
 	 	 	Making an example out of Bronx should help him put his house back in order. 	
 	 	 	Edwin's her uncle. Someday when he kicks it, the gang goes to her. But the truth is, she's been leading that gang for years already. 	
 	 	 	Having a tentative agreement with her is almost better than having a true handshake with him. 	
 	 	 	Oh, they have a bit of a history. 	
 	 	 	Edwin used to walk around with this giant fat cat perched on his shoulder. He loved that cat. I bet you can guess what the Blood Eagles did, right? 	
 	 	 	That's right. They stole his cat, skinned it and cooked it for dinner. Then they sent the bloody pelt back to Edwin in a sack. Classy, right? 	
 	 	 	The Blood Eagles are led by three vicious maniacs. The Blood, The Eye, and The Claw. And when I say "maniacs," I'm being polite. 	
 	 	 	Maybe. I hope so. It's hard to know what he considers to be important to the rest of us... but, well. I think he will. 	
 	 	 	You got it, friend. I won't offer you more unless you tell me to. I have some nice non-alcoholic ones though. 	
 	 	 	Without this Buffout, the Blood Eagles won't be able to fill their ranks. We're really doing it! 	
 	 	 	I gave Ronny the key and told her the news about Bronx. She's thrilled, by the way. So hopefully we'll hear some news... soon. 	
 	 	 	I'm going to dig a hole somewhere, deep. Then bury it. Hopefully it will sink into the soil and that's it. It's a temporary measure, but... necessary. 	
 	 	 	Don't worry, I'm not going to use it, if that's what you're thinking. I've worked way too hard to escape that crap. Never again. 	
 	 	 	Thanks. It means a lot, it seriously does. The Blood is a true monster... one that still gives me nightmares today. 	
 	 	 	Normally, yes. But you took their chems, and I'm destroying them. So best case scenario, they have to waste time finding more. 	
 	 	 	They won't be worried about filling the gap in the leadership. Not now. 	
 	 	 	Not at all. They were just... raiders who were destroyed by heavy chem addiction. 	
 	 	 	But... then it wasn't just that. Some of them became incredibly violent. Thoroughly enraged. 	
 	 	 	Before they we're just a band of maniacs, and... it was bad, yeah. But this is... this is new. This is terrible. 	
 	 	 	Yeah, The Blood normally travels around Appalachia looking for "recruits" to kidnap, but I have an idea where you can look. 	
 	 	 	I just can't believe you did it. I just... I feel... lighter. I really do. 	
 	 	 	I know, I know. It's ridiculous. But look, to finish off the Blood Eagles, we're going to need Edwin's help. So, let's play ball, okay? 	
 	 	 	I gotta wait here for Sage, so do me this favor. Please? 	
 	 	 	First of all, that's evil. You know. Like evil. Edwin is a good guy, he's a little... mushy in places, but he's fine. 	
 	 	 	Secondly, that's Ronny's uncle. She actually loves him. Do you think she would be happy with that? Come on. Geez. 	
 	 	 	Thirdly... Edwin has a ton of health issues. I'm surprised he's still around. We've been helping Ronny this whole time, you know what I mean? 	
 	 	 	They have no idea who you are. I'm sure they're taking out revenge on literally every single Vault Dweller they see right now. Others too, maybe. 	
 	 	 	I know it sounds like we made things worse but... we have to finish it. We have to cut off the other two heads. Then they're just idiots again. 	
 	 	 	So when Ronny said "dog" what she meant was... a freaking Mole Rat? Seriously? 	
 	 	 	If the Blood Eagles get a radio station up and running, they can literally broadcast their threats across Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	Everyone who hears the message will either run away or join up to avoid being killed. 	
 	 	 	She joined up about two weeks before I did. She's so amped, they didn't even need to juice her up with the Buffout to mess with her mind. 	
 	 	 	I once saw her kick a defenseless woman off of a cliff. I mean, who the hell does that? She needs to fall... hard. 	
 	 	 	No, and it's kind of freaking me out. I was getting regular messages from Ronny and suddenly they've stopped. 	
 	 	 	I have a feeling something big is going down over at their camp, but we can't worry about that now. 	
 	 	 	Because. They're all dead. 	
 	 	 	I... I killed them all for their chems and a couple of caps. It's a memory I wish I could forget. 	
 	 	 	I remember this place well. Do I deserve the memories replaying in my mind? Reliving what I did there? Probably. 	
 	 	 	But I gotta forgive myself, too. Not entirely, but... enough. 	
 	 	 	I don't know much about the thing. Even though it seemed attached to the family, it didn't try to fight back when I, um, when I killed everyone. 	
 	 	 	You know, when I put it all together... the Miss Nanny, the chems... the family must have been sick. I murdered sick, innocent people in cold blood. 	getting upset when coming to this realization
 	 	 	This is what the addiction does to you... how the Blood Eagles strip away your humanity. They need to die. All of them. 	getting upset when coming to this realization
 	 	 	You're damn right. He's all I've got, okay? I've watched out for that stupid kid ever since... 	you're about to reveal something so a pause at the end
 	 	 	Ever since our father was killed, leaving us both alone. Yeah, I know... sounds like a typical "boo-hoo" sob story, but it's true. 	calming, admitting a secret to Player
 	 	 	Slow down? Why?! Don't you get it? They're going to torture him to get to me! 	
 	 	 	First they kill your heart, they make you forget everything you love, and when you're the most vulnerable, they mess with your brain. 	
 	 	 	I have no idea. All I know is he's gone and I don't know what they're doing to him! 	
 	 	 	It's not like the Blood Eagles keep a lot of records... everybody moves around a lot, there isn't that much structure outside of the leadership. 	
 	 	 	It might be a gamble, but it's the best chance we've got. 	
 	 	 	I see you didn't find Frankie, either. Damn it! 	mix of sadness and frustration... hopes to see your brother alive are dwindling
 	 	 	You might as well ask me "why is it bright when the sun shines?" 	
 	 	 	The Blood Eagles are insane. After they plant the poison they'll probably hide nearby just to watch the Settlers die one-by-one. It's a game to them. 	
 	 	 	He knows a lot of people who see and hear things differently than you and I. And sometimes those things are meaningful. 	
 	 	 	So... maybe? Doesn't hurt to ask. 	
 	 	 	I'll listen to it. I just need to brace myself for it, just in case it has other implications... I just need a moment to breathe, too. 	
 	 	 	The other one was... I just can't talk about it yet. Listen to it, and then we can... I don't know. Talk about it. Maybe. Shit. I can't do this. 	
 	 	 	I need some air. 	
 	 	 	Wait... this a recording of one of The Eye's "sessions" at The Lab. I don't know if I'm ready to listen to that... but I suppose I'll have to. 	hope turns to horror as you realize what it means
 	 	 	Friend, I understand the impatience. I do. I want closure on Frankie and to watch the Blood Eagles burn. 	
 	 	 	The thing is... I need to be a better person, too. I used to be one of the brainless maniacs that would poison these innocent people with glee. 	
 	 	 	But today I decided to be a decent person who's going to help some Settlers live to see another day. And I asked my friend to help. 	
 	 	 	I'll take creepy and awkard over cruel and malicious any day of the week. You know what I mean? 	
 	 	 	I used to live with Sage a long time ago. I still love him dearly. We weren't really compatible, but... I respect him and the way he thinks. 	
 	 	 	Having said all of that... 	
 	 	 	Shit, I have no clue how he gets his information. Even back then he would just sit straight up at night and suddenly say something profound. 	
 	 	 	And then go back to sleep and never know it happened. 	
 	 	 	And look. The answer is: he took a ton of chems. Chems you and I haven't even heard of. Chems he probably invented himself. 	
 	 	 	I mean... he used to be a chemist. I guess. Or maybe he still is? But his brain reacted... differently. And this is the result. 	
 	 	 	So... I don't have an answer for you other than this: he just does. 	
 	 	 	When I... started going overboard with the chems, I guess. When I mixed them up with more... with poisons... with the Blood Eagles. 	
 	 	 	I mean, yeah. That's what I thought too. What else was on your mind, anyway? 	Friendly, a little amused though.
 	 	 	I'm not sure if any of that was very helpful. Why I put up with that guy I'll never know. 	
 	 	 	There's only one place The Eye would be... the old Bear Cave. 	
 	 	 	I remember that place, it's where we used to dump the victims that didn't survive The Eye's sessions. 	
 	 	 	I need to know where the Claw may be, and I need to know what else is there so we can prepare. 	
 	 	 	Yeah, look for a place to dump The Eye's corpse when you're done filling him full of bullets. 	
 	 	 	Besides that, look for any info about Frankie. 	
 	 	 	I have an idea. 	
 	 	 	I know that it's a mobile recorder that moves between the Triune members, takes dictation, then moves on. Constantly. 	
 	 	 	But. I know where it is right now, thanks to Ronny who stopped by for refreshments before going back off to slaughter more losers. 	
 	 	 	It's gotta be destroyed either way. If you can destroy it there, do it there. I don't need to see their shitty texts. 	
 	 	 	This stores the entire history of the Triune, all of their rituals, all of their contacts and owed deeds... any other formulas... 	
 	 	 	And it also has their entire plans for how they can control the rest of the Raiders next, then the Settlers. 	
 	 	 	Without this, they are just raging assholes with no direction, no vision, no goals. And that is exactly how they should stay. Leaderless. 	
 	 	 	Okay. I understand... but please come back when you have more time. 	
 	 	 	Ancient history, huh? Fair enough. 	
 	 	 	Well... let's see. First I was just an independent, just trying to steal enough to keep me afloat. Problem was all of the competition... the gangs. 	
 	 	 	Once I realized it's smarter to join them, I ran with Hopkins Hooligans. That went pretty well, until Hopkins got himself killed. 	reminiscing
 	 	 	I ran with Edwin's gang for a little while until the Blood Eagles came calling. They, uh, "recruited" me into their gang... and the rest is history. 	a little grim at the end, since this didn't go well
 	 	 	When I was with Edwin's gang, I thought I was King Shit. I was popular with the gang, I was rolling in caps... I was untouchable. 	
 	 	 	Then I got hooked on the chems. Psycho, Buffout, Jet, you name it, I probably used it. At that point, I was a marked man. 	
 	 	 	See, the Blood Eagles were the ones seeding the gangs with the chems. That's how they recruit. They get you hooked, then they pounce. 	
 	 	 	One morning I woke up, mind totally obliterated, flying Blood Eagle colors. That was all it took. I was their property now. 	
 	 	 	Completely? No way. Even after all three leaders are gone, the rest are going to scatter across Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	We'll never be finished hunting them down, but we can damn well make sure their numbers get smaller. 	
 	 	 	Need anything else before you head out? 	
 	 	 	Can I help with anything else before you take off? 	
 	 	 	That it, or do you need more? 	
 	 	 	You good to go, or did you need anything else? 	
 	 	 	Nice... good work. 	
 	 	 	Hm, not bad at all. 	
 	 	 	Woah, nice job! 	
 	 	 	Whatever. 	shrug
 	 	 	Hm. 	shrug
 	 	 	Yuck. 	
 	 	 	Ugh, no thanks. 	
 	 	 	That could have been better. 	
 	 	 	Well, that was pretty stupid. 	
 	 	 	What? That's crazy. 	
 	 	 	Oh, hell yeah! 	
 	 	 	Doesn't get much better than that! 	
 	 	 	That was probably a bad idea. 	
 	 	 	Oooooo... uh, that could have gone better. 	
 	 	 	Perfect. Perfect... thanks. 	
 	 	 	Right on the money. 	
 	 	 	Yes. 	
 	 	 	Yup. 	
 	 	 	Alright. 	
 	 	 	I'm on it. 	
 	 	 	No. 	
 	 	 	Nope. 	
 	 	 	No way! 	
 	 	 	Not gonna happen. 	
 	 	 	Here ya go. 	
 	 	 	Got something for ya. 	
 	 	 	Maybe this will help. 	
 	 	 	Thanks. 	
 	 	 	Appreciated. 	
 	 	 	Damn, that's great! 	
 	 	 	Well, that sucks. 	
 	 	 	Hang on a sec... let me get to the bar. 	friendly - player asked for drink, but you aren't at bar
 	 	 	Sure, just let me get to the bar first. 	friendly - player asked for drink, but you aren't at bar
 	 	 	No problem, just gotta get over to my bar. 	friendly - player asked for drink, but you aren't at bar
 	 	 	Yeah, yeah... let me get to the bar first. 	a bit annoyed - player asked for drink, but you aren't at bar
 	 	 	Yup, just need to get the bar open. Hang on. 	a bit annoyed - player asked for drink, but you aren't at bar
 	 	 	Okay, just need to get over to my bar. 	a bit annoyed - player asked for drink, but you aren't at bar
 	 	 	So... I can keep you all to myself then, right? Just kidding, love. Go on, do what you need to do. 	Flirty
 	 	 	Understood, my love. Check with me later if you have time, okay? 	Flirty
 	 	 	No problem, my friend. Maybe later? 	He understands
 	 	 	No worries. I hear about these things all the time, so stop by later. 	He understands
 	 	 	Understood. If you change your mind, let me know. 	He understands
 	 	 	You gotta do what you gotta do. 	He understands
 	 	 	I'm immensely jealous. But... I'm willing to wait. For... a bit anyway. 	Sexily
 	 	 	After you rescue them... save the rope for later. 	Sexily
 	 	 	You're really something else, aren't you? 	Admiring the player
 	 	 	Go on, save them. You're a damn hero, you know? 	Admiring the player
 	 	 	I knew you'd say yes. Ever the impressive one, aren't you? 	Admiring the player
 	 	 	Of course you'd agree. It's who you are. 	Admiring the player
 	 	 	You don't even know them, but you'll risk your life for them? I understand if it was a weapon or something you could sell but... hot damn. 	Admiring the player. Didn't expect the altruism.
 	 	 	Really, you will? Well, good. I mean, thanks! 	Admiring the player. Didn't expect the altruism.
 	 	 	Seriously? Wow... well. Okay then. 	Admiring the player. Didn't expect the altruism.
 	 	 	You're really something else, aren't you? Good luck out there, friend. 	Admiring the player. Didn't expect the altruism.
 	 	 	Then get your ass back here and take care of me, okay? 	Overtly sexual
 	 	 	I love it when you get that look on your face. Finish it, then get back here. Got it? 	Overtly sexual
 	 	 	You're a machine. You know that, right? 	Flirty or Friendly, could be a lover or a friend.
 	 	 	I admire your vigor, my friend. Truly. 	Flirty or Friendly, could be a lover or a friend.
 	 	 	I've never met anybody as dependable as you. 	Flirty or Friendly, could be a lover or a friend.
 	 	 	I've never had a friend like you. 	Just shocked that someone could be so cool and chill.
 	 	 	Damn that's impressive, my friend. 	Impressed by the player.
 	 	 	Thanks, good luck out there. 	
 	 	 	Yeah. That's what I thought you'd say. 	pleased the player is doing your favor/quest
 	 	 	Mm, I've got other wishes too, so get back here soon. Okay? 	Being sort of coy. Flirty.
 	 	 	Anything, huh? Well, I'll keep that in mind for next time. 	Joking, sort of flirty, but not overtly.
 	 	 	Thanks, friend. It means a lot to me. 	pleased the player is doing your favor/quest
 	 	 	Great, thanks. Be careful out there, will you? 	pleased the player is doing your favor/quest
 	 	 	Yeah. That's what I thought you'd say. 	pleased the player is doing your favor/quest
 	 	 	I know for a fact that you don't need more armor here, in our home. And that you could be naked all the time and that would be just fine with me. 	Flirting, sexual. Said to a player who is in a relationship with Beckett already
 	 	 	I heard about the armor from... I don't even know. Come to think of it, maybe I was drunk at the time. Or not. 	
 	 	 	From some visitors, I trust them well enough anyway. 	Flirting, sexual. Said to a player who is in a relationship with Beckett already.
 	 	 	Grahm told me about this one. Said he wanted to get his hands on it for trades, but that he just couldn't. Not with Chally in tow. Sweet, right? 	Trying to interest the player
 	 	 	The hunter said he took in a gang of three others and they couldn't get to it. You might have trouble, but they did make a fair dent for you. 	Trying to interest the player
 	 	 	Not much. If you don't like the weapons you can always sell them, my friend. You know that. This world finds them to be always worth something. 	
 	 	 	Look, I'm not going to send a friend after a weapon that's completely worthless. Even if you can't use it, you could always sell it. 	
 	 	 	Welp, let's see. It kills stuff, it's worth a bunch of caps and it's not in your possession yet. Is that good enough? 	
 	 	 	The weapon just seemed like something you could pick up quickly or easily. Might be worth a bundle. That's all. Consider it to be rent. 	Matter-of-factly
 	 	 	I talk to too many drunk people, you know that? But the thing is, they always have something to say. And sometimes it's also valuable. 	Explaining how he knows what he knows. Proud.
 	 	 	I think you know everything you need to know. Find the item, then get the hell back here in one piece. Easy work for you. 	
 	 	 	Just try not to get too distracted while you're out there finding this stash. It's easy to lose your way in Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	I don't think it really matters, does it? I trust the source, and I trust that you can handle it. In fact, I know you can handle it. 	hit that last "know" harder
 	 	 	Someone owed me a favor. Actually... owed me a lot of favors. But we have a good repayment plan going. I did save his life, after all. A few times. 	He means this in a sincere way.
 	 	 	I traded off directions and a point of contact for the information about that stash. I figured it would be worth it to you. 	Matter-of-fact. Said to a friend.
 	 	 	I doubt your arrival is unexpected. I don't think it's a trap, I just think you should be cautious. 	Warning
 	 	 	Heard this place only had a couple anglers just a bit ago, but they've been swarming there. Not sure why. 	Could be breeding season, could be weird shit
 	 	 	Heard this place has been swarmed with anglers. I dunno. Might not be worth the work. It's going to stink like hell, that's for sure. 	He's not wrong
 	 	 	Not sure why, but a bunch of anglers have been spotted here. Could be some sort of breeding thing? Could be a feeding frenzy? I don't know. Or care. 	Kind of a warning. Also joking, but also shrugging at the end.
 	 	 	Traders said they saw some Assaultrons circling this location heavily. Unclear why, but they are definitely not there to welcome you. 	Describing some information he obtained recently
 	 	 	Heard from a hunter that a bunch of Assaultrons were at this location just attacking anything that came in range.} 	Describing some information he obtained recently
 	 	 	Not sure why exactly, but there seem to be reports of Assaultrons gathering at this exact spot. 	Describing some information he obtained recently
 	 	 	Heard from a trader that this place is utterly swarming with Bloatflies. Probably smells like rot as well. 	
 	 	 	There used to be a nest of Bloatflies here a while ago, but I bet you they've all hatched by now. They're probably starving, too. 	
 	 	 	Bloatflies. You know I hate 'em. But right now they're your problem my friend, because they're all over the place that you need to be. 	
 	 	 	There are Blood Eagles here, so I need you to be brutal. Remember, they chose this life. They will show no mercy to you, ever. 	He hates them.
 	 	 	Loads of Blood Eagles here, I've been told. There are too many... they're growing in numbers. We need to cull the herd, brutally. 	He hates them.
 	 	 	Heard that some offshoot of the Blood Eagles is attempting to spin up here. Kill them all. No mercy. This needs to end. 	He hates them.
 	 	 	I heard from a couple traders that this place is packed with bloodbugs. Probably a giant nest. Get there before even more eggs hatch. 	He hates these things.
 	 	 	Once I saw a bloodbug nest erupt in hundreds of the filthy things. Their legs were just reaching for me... *shudders* 	He hates these things.
 	 	 	Sure, I was on a ton of chems at the time but the memory is burned into my mind. 	
 	 	 	Sounds like a bunch of bloodbugs recently hatched here. They're probably starved from feeding on each other by now. 	He hates these things
 	 	 	Someone said they heard cave crickets skittering around, chirping or... whatever it is they do. Sounded like a bunch, though. 	
 	 	 	A trader passed by here recently selling cricket bread, cricket grits, cricket pie, cricket chips. Said he stopped there and barely escaped. 	Grosses him out a bit
 	 	 	But hey -- he left with a bunch of supplies for a while. He seemed mostly fine other than the terror in his eyes! 	Joking, kinda
 	 	 	I heard a while ago that this place had tons of mature cave cricket eggs. You know what that means: crunchy adult cave crickets will be there by now. 	
 	 	 	Folks have been avoiding this place for a bit due to the nest of Deathclaws. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	Heard some scavengers went there recently but never made it out. Hunter passing by said it sounded like a Deathclaw feeding frenzy. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	I spoke with a hunter the other day who was tracking down a vicious Deathclaw. Said this place is covered in tracks. Might be a nest. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	Scavengers have been sizing up this place for a while. Full of eyebots, they said. Probably guarding something. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	A few days ago a trader saw one lonely Eyebot heading to this spot. But every couple of hours, another one or two would show up. Now it's a nest. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	Hmm. Would it be a "nest"? Maybe a... "glitch of Eyebots"? I don't know, there's gotta be a word for it. 	Genuinely wondering
 	 	 	Some hunter from Foundation said she heard a series of beeps around there out of no where. She snuck up carefully and saw a ton of Eyebots. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	She was tracking some other critter, but said it just seemed so unusual. Tried to send some scavengers over, but no takers yet. Too dangerous. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	Expect to fun into a nest of Fog Crawlers. Heard they scared off some scavengers, maybe shredded one in the process. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	When I first got to Appalachia, I ran into one of these things. You could smell it before you saw it. I can't imagine how a nest would smell... 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	But apparently they've been stewing up in there for a while, so it's teeming with them now. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	What do you call a group of Fog Crawlers? 	As if he's setting it up for a joke
 	 	 	I don't know, but you can figure it out when you go there because that's exactly what you're going to find. 	Ending to his joke, said like a dad.
 	 	 	I heard from some traders passing by that this place is absolutely teeming with feral ghouls. 	
 	 	 	Trader stopped by and said she lost one of her pack Brahmin to some feral ghouls around this place. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	There's a gaggle of Feral Ghouls at this spot, confirmed by a couple different passing traders. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	Proper word is a "gaggle" right? Could be "a stink" maybe "a glut"? I kinda like a gaggle though. Anyway, just a heads up. 	Genuinely wondering
 	 	 	There's a... family of Grafton Monsters over in this place. Couldn't get an exact uh.. head count. 	Warning to the player. Ends as a joke at the end because the grafton monster doen't have a head.
 	 	 	Up until recently there was just one Grafton Monster there. Now there are more. I wonder what they're doing. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	What's worse than a Grafton Monster squatting at some place you want to check out? How about a cluster of them. Yeah. You heard me. It's that bad. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	Expect to run into a nest of Gulpers at this place. Can't give you an exact number on account of how fast they breed. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	Ever wonder what a group of Gulpers sound like gulping at once? You just might get your chance. This place is apparently infested. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	Heard this place is packed with Gulpers. Never heard of those things before I got here. Kinda trying to pretend like they don't exist, to be honest. 	
 	 	 	There's a whole hive of Honey Beasts here, so watch out. It might get... sticky. 	Dad jokes.
 	 	 	Couple of traders were buzzing about this place recently. Said it was packed with Honey Beasts. 	Dad jokes.
 	 	 	This place is jammed with Honey Beasts, so I hear. Best to buzz in there, deliver a stinger, and buzz out. Fast. Bee positive about it, though. 	He crammed as many dad jokes as possible into this one on purpose.
 	 	 	I heard a Radtoad went into this area the other day and was... totally swarmed by a giant nest of Insects that nested there. 	Emphasis on the "totally" -- "toadally" ... GET IT? Dad jokes. This guy.
 	 	 	That Radtoad is probably very dead. So, at least try to be stealthier or healthier than one of them. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	Couple traders were buzzing with the latest news about this place. Apparently it's full of giant, gnarly Insects. Probably a nest. 	Warning to the player. Also a bit of a dad joke.
 	 	 	This place is covered in giant Insects. I suggest covering yourself in sticky tape and rushing through the place repeatedly. See how that works. 	Warning to the player. Also a bit of a dad joke.
 	 	 	Scavengers commented on this place recently. Said it was packed with Liberator bots, happened somewhat recently too. Unclear how many. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	What's a group of Liberators called? It's gotta be an "army" -- right? Well, that's what you're going to run into there. 	Warning to the player.
 	 	 	Liberators. Tons of them. Probably guarding something. 	Warning to the player.
 	 	 	There's a Mega Sloth family here. I feel kinda bad about it, honestly. Maybe you can just shoo them away? 	Warning to the player. Kinda sad about it because they are sort of cute?
 	 	 	Heard there's at least one Mega Sloth here, but likely more. In a way, I admire them, you know. They really don't care about... well, anything. 	Thinking about it honestly
 	 	 	That's a damn reasonable motto to live by, I'd say. 	Admirable, he thinks
 	 	 	I seriously doubt there's a word for a group of Mega Sloths since they don't really travel like that. I sort of want to call them a "bulk." 	Warning to the player. Also a bit of a dad joke.
 	 	 	Oh! Maybe it's a "congress" or... a "drama" of Mega Sloths? Anyway, this place has a ton of them. Just be warned. 	Warning to the player. Also a bit of a dad joke.
 	 	 	Heard from someone earlier that this place stinks like fish butt. That means only one thing: Mirelurks. Well, or fish butts. Two things, I guess. 	Warning to the player. Also a bit of a dad joke.
 	 	 	Heard a bunch of Mirelurks were breeding here recently. You know what that means. 	Warning to the player. Also a bit of a dad joke.
 	 	 	Do *not* go in this place smelling like a fertile Mirelurk. 	Warning to the player. Also a bit of a dad joke.
 	 	 	Mirelurks. The whole place is full of them. You can almost smell them from here, actually. 	Warning to the player.
 	 	 	Expect to run into Mole Miners here, but also expect that they'll expect that you've expected to encounter them. That's what I'd expect, anyway. 	Dad joke?
 	 	 	Grahm stopped by a bit ago, said Chally got swarmed by some Mole Miners. Chally is fine. Mole Miners ran off and hid at this place, though. 	Says "Chally is fine" to calm the player if they were concerned. Grahm is a Super Mutant and Chally is his pack Brahmin
 	 	 	There are some Mole Miners here. Know how I know? Well, a trader said he smelled molasses from a half mile away! 	Dad joke?
 	 	 	But, anyway... best not to worry about any potential for higher thought or signs of cultural complexity, just blast them away. Safety first, kid! 	
 	 	 	What do you get when you cook up Mole Rat meat and bird eggs and cover it with spice? 	Dad joke
 	 	 	Squawk-a-molé! Yeah? No? Okay. Well, anyway, there are lots of Mole Rats here. 	Dad joke, seems proud of himself.
 	 	 	What's the most popular game that one could play in a colony of giant, angry, bloodthirsty Mole Rats? 	Set up for a dad joke
 	 	 	Hide and squeak! Right? Right?! Also, running away from you, probably. 	Set up for a dad joke
 	 	 	What makes the sound: "eek squeak ack squish" dozens of times? 	Set up for a dad joke
 	 	 	You bursting into this place and killing a colony of Mole Rats. 	Set up for a dad joke
 	 	 	Heard some weird Mothman Cultists are gathering here. You need to get in there and squash whatever creepy shit they're doing, and squash them too. 	He doesn't like the cultists at all
 	 	 	Place is utterly overrun with Mothman Cultists doing whatever it is they do. Just... break it up. You know, by breaking their skulls. 	He doesn't care about them at all.
 	 	 	Mothman Cultists. Everywhere. I try to be all "live and let live" over here... but this Mothman Cultist stuff is over the top. Just end it. 	He's tired of their shit
 	 	 	A scavenger told me she went to this place looking for some parts and ran into a... platoon... of Mr. Gutsies? A squad? A lot of them, anwyay. 	Wondering
 	 	 	Heard there are a bunch of Mr. Gutsies around this location. Not sure how many are there, though. 	Warning the player
 	 	 	Some Mr. Gutsies have taken up positions at this location and are defending it. Unclear why, but more arrive on a regular basis. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	Heard this place was teeming with all sorts of Mutations. Most folks either died or they up and ran from there, so I don't know more. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	A trader said this place stank and was full of weird noises. Hard to say exactly what it was, but it's had some Mutations breeding there before. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	Have you ever wanted to see a place packed full of assorted Mutations? Well, here's your chance. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	This place is packed with Protectrons. Nobody could tell me how many were there, or why, but there were a lot. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	Hunters reported seeing tracks for a bunch of Protectrons around this place. No scat though, turns out that most robots don't do that. Most. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	What do you call it when a bunch of ancient Protectrons gather in one predetermined location? 	Set up for a dad joke
 	 	 	Planned mobsolescence! Yeah? Right? Uh. Anyway, just... keep an eye out. 	mob + obsolescence, a joke. He's proud of himself. Not understanding the player's reaction, he just quickly shifts gears
 	 	 	Bunch of Rad Ants in this area. Be warned. Also, while you're out there, ponder on this... 	Set up for a dad joke
 	 	 	Ever wonder why everybody started calling these things "Rad Ants"? Because we already had "Mut-Ants"! 	Dad joke
 	 	 	I really don't know how you get Rad Ants. But this place has a ton of them. 	said with humor, as if the player knows how you get Rad Ants
 	 	 	I hate just Rad Ants. I know this place is utterly crawling with them. Makes me shudder just thinking about it. One might say I'm antsy about it all. 	Dad joke at the end
 	 	 	This place is a Radroach hotel and every room is at capacity. I'd suggest bringing your best squishin' boots. 	Grossed out
 	 	 	Radroaches have infested this place. I just think of that sound of crinkling paper wings... crispy crackly little creepy legs. Ugh. Yuck. Be warned. 	Grossed out
 	 	 	It's a Radroach party and you're definitely invited. You might even be the main course. 	Shuddering
 	 	 	Radscorpions. They make for great tattoos, but that's about it. Sad day for you: there's a bunch at this place. 	Set up for a quick dad joke
 	 	 	Er, the actual giant beasts and not a bunch of tattoos. So I guess it's an even sadder day. 	Joke
 	 	 	Trader friend saw some Radscorpion burrows around this place. Lots of them. Either it's one very confused Radscorpion, or a pack of them. 	Warning to the player
 	 	 	Tons of Radscorpions here, I heard. Tons. It's unusual, so they're also probably more aggressive than normal. Just be warned. 	Warning to player
 	 	 	I heard this place is hopping with huge Rad Toads. Get it?! Hopping?! Look. You get what Beckett's got on tap. 	Dad jokes
 	 	 	Some traders said they heard a bunch of Rad Toad croaks. Like... Ribbit. Riiiibit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Riiiibit. 	Set up for a dad joke.
 	 	 	Gotta be some sort of Morse Toad right? 	It's a play on the phase "Morse Code"
 	 	 	I heard a giant Rad Toad went to this place recently. I figure, it was either going there to spawn, or it was going to robbit! Rob it! Get it? Ha! 	Dad joke. He's so pleased with himself. Robbit = Ribbit
 	 	 	Damn raiders. They got scared out of their last joint, and now they've taken hold of this place. Give them a proper Beckett salute, will ya? 	He hates raiders.
 	 	 	Heard some locals got chased away by raiders after most of their stuff was stolen. Typical punk shit. You know what to do. 	He hates raiders.
 	 	 	Heard a bunch of raider scum took this place over not too long ago. Should mean they aren't entrenched yet. Take advantage of that and wipe em out. 	He hates raiders.
 	 	 	Some raiders used to be there, but they got chased out by a giant swarm of rats. I would have paid to watch that! Anyway, the rats are still there. 	He hates raiders.
 	 	 	Trader passed by who specializes in dried rat meats, said she came up to this place and filled up her stock right away. She could rat-tire... retire! 	Had to pop in a dad joke in the end.
 	 	 	This place is packed with tons of rats. Probably has been picked pretty clean by now, but you never know. 	General casual warning
 	 	 	Folks saw some Robobrains here. Not sure how many. The tracks sort of merged together and hid their numbers. 	Casual warning
 	 	 	Expect to encounter some Robobrains here. I heard they travel in a line. I bet it's more of a Robotrain when they do that. 	The dad jokes continue
 	 	 	Some Robobrains claimed this place after their last spot got flooded recently. I heard they got completely brainwashed. 	Dad joke
 	 	 	Military bots are patrolling this location heavily, I heard. Unclear why, exactly, probably some ancient glitch in their programming. 	Word of caution
 	 	 	Trader said she was followed by a bunch of military robots shouting orders at her. Attention! Left! Left Right Left! That sort of thing. 	He's thinking this is an amusing scene in his head
 	 	 	Then they proclaimed that it was time to train and started shooting. She lost them in this place, so they're probably still there. 	End of his story
 	 	 	What do you call it when someone enters a place packed with military robots and then they get killed? 	Dad joke setup
 	 	 	Their pla-tomb! Get it? Platoon? Ok. Look, humor is all I have going for me sometimes. 	Dad joke
 	 	 	Trader saw a conga line of robots heading towards this place. Not sure what their intention is, but I'd assume they're hostile. 	
 	 	 	Dunno why, but a bunch of robots have been gathering at this place for a while. Heard they attacked a trader that approached. Just be warned. 	Warning
 	 	 	Scavengers have been trying to get into this place for a while. Lots of robots in here, and they're very aggressive. 	Casual warning
 	 	 	Is there a robot equivalent of huddling together for warmth? Maybe huddling for power conservation? Well, maybe that's what they're doing... 	He wonders.
 	 	 	Heard some Blood Eagles were shredded here recently by a mob of Scorched. Wish I could have seen that! 	He hates the blood eagles
 	 	 	Haven't heard anything unusual about this particular place, but I would expect it to be full of Scorched. Kinda normal for this area. 	He shrugs, could be.
 	 	 	Haven't heard squat about this place, so I'm guessing it's full of Scorched again. It seems to get overrun frequently. 	He isn't sure
 	 	 	Couple Sentry Bots were spotted in this area, not sure what they're up to. I heard it's best not to anthropormorphize them anyway. They hate that. 	Dad joke
 	 	 	Some Sentry Bots ran a group of Blood Eagles out of there and took over. Bet it would have been fun to watch. The bots are still there, of course. 	Amused thinking of the blood eagles getting chased out.
 	 	 	Heard about some Sentry Bots in that area. Unclear how many, but definitely several. Just be warned. 	Warning
 	 	 	Heard there was more than one Sheepsquatch at this place. Be warned... if you start counting them, you just might start to nod off. 	Counting sheep joke. He's pleased with himself.
 	 	 	There's a couple Sheepsquatch at this place, maybe a lot. If you head in, be prepared for a bleat down. Get it? Like a... beat down! Ha! 	Pun on the phrase "beat down" --- he is pleased with his terrible jokes
 	 	 	Some hunter said she heard noises like bunch of Sheepsquatch were gathering there. She didn't linger long. She only shears what she wants to shear. 	dad joke in the end. play on "She only hears what she wants to hear."
 	 	 	Sounds like there's Snally Gasters there. Hate those things. 	
 	 	 	I've heard a lot of chatter lately about this. From the sounds of it, I'd guess Snally Gasters. 	
 	 	 	From what I can gather, place has Snally Gasters. Don't get swallowed up. 	
 	 	 	Stingwings decided this was their new breeding pit for the season, I guess. There are probably tons there now. 	He's sorry you have to go there.
 	 	 	Couple Settlers nearly got killed at this place, said a massive swarm of Stingwings chased them away. They're pretty lucky, all things considered. 	Empathetic with the Settlers
 	 	 	This place is teeming with Stingwings. Not my favorite. They're too fast for me, especially when they're riled up. And these apparently are. 	Warning
 	 	 	I heard that a group of Super Mutants trashed the place recently. I bet they're still around. Traders have been just avoiding it. 	Passing along a warning
 	 	 	Tons of Super Mutants at this place. I asked Grahm about it, he said to just leave them be. Said they had nice things, but wouldn't trade with him. 	Grahm is said like Grom
 	 	 	Place is packed with Super Mutants. Here's a tactic you could try: in your deepest, gnarliest voice shout: "I got a treat for you!" 	Amused at the idea in his head
 	 	 	Then toss in some explosives, handfuls of rotten meat, diseased Brahmin, whatever you have lying around. 	Amused
 	 	 	May as well be neighborly, right? Before you destroy them, I mean. 	Shrug?
 	 	 	Heads up: a couple of traders warned me that this place was covered in swamp creatures. 	General warning
 	 	 	Try to stay safe, but keep an eye out for swamp creatures. I heard the place was pretty much flooded with them. 	General warning
 	 	 	Couple traders said this place had a bunch of swamp creatures in it. I don't even know what they mean by that. But... be aware, I guess? 	General warning
 	 	 	Heard this place was full of bloated, giant ticks. Just a huge nest of them skittering around with their tiny sucker mouths. 	He hates these things.
 	 	 	I heard there are a bunch of Ticks at this spot. They're probably starving, and will latch on to the first thing with blood that they see. 	Warning
 	 	 	How much do you like to pop Ticks? Well, if your answer is: "It's my favorite thing ever!" then you're going to love this place. 	He's kind of grossed out, honestly.
 	 	 	If I said this place was overrun with packs of dogs, do you imagine tiny fluffy yippy dogs? I do! Unfortunately, these are mean, disease-ridden ones. 	"Sorry to burst your bubble," he thought
 	 	 	Heard from a trader that this place is overrun with aggressive dogs. Not a single one of them is cute and cuddly even in the slightest, don't worry. 	Warning but in a funny way, sort of
 	 	 	Some folks ran into a pack of hyper-aggressive dogs in this spot. They only got away because the dogs were distracted by some bunnies. 	He'll continue...
 	 	 	The people survived, but the bunnies were less fortunate. Go on and avenge them. 	He says that semi-jokingly
 	 	 	Some hunters found a strangely large amount of fresh wolf scat around this place. Either the wolves are gathering here... 	Set up for something weird
 	 	 	Or somebody is purposefully dropping off wolf uh, chips, here. You can solve that mystery on your own, and just fill me in later. Actually... don't. 	On second thought...
 	 	 	An ex-raider stopped by, said she led some raiders that were chasing her into this place so they'd get mauled by wolves. It worked. But, well... 	Telling a story
 	 	 	Now a few more wolves have joined that pack, and the place is a bit rougher than before. Just be warned. They like the taste of human now, too. 	Warning
 	 	 	Traders said there's been a lot of wolf noises in this area lately, so let's assume it's just a pack of angry, rabid wolves. 	And not anything weird.
 	 	 	Seems like there's a family of Yao Guai here. Can't even tell you how many because nobody could get that close. 	He wishes he had more info
 	 	 	Traders heard tons of grunts and strange noises coming from this place lately... 	Setup for a joke
 	 	 	Probably just Yao Guai. But could be *rutting* Yao Guai. So... brace yourself. 	Emphasis on the "rutting"
 	 	 	And do not go in there smelling like another Yao Guai. You get me? 	Dire warning
 	 	 	Ever wanted a giant hug from a terribly hostile teddy bear covered in blood and scabs? If so, then this is your place! Yao Guai! Everywhere! 	He's almost excited for some reason.
 	 	 	I wish I knew, friend. Last person I know who went there never came back. She was a skilled hunter, too. Probably got swarmed. 	Sincerely wishes he knew more
 	 	 	Honestly, I don't know what's at this spot exactly... could be a group of all sorts of things, too. I really don't know. 	Warning, but vague
 	 	 	Nobody knows for sure. There's probably something there... but... people have just been avoiding it for a while. So I don't know. 	Wishes he knew more
 	 	 	You need to go to this cabin right here. Three separate sources confirmed it -- folks that I trust. 	He is pretty confident that this is the right info.
 	 	 	Check inside this cabin, or... maybe around it. 	He's pretty sure anyway.
 	 	 	It's not a big place that you need to check. Just this cabin and the surrounding area. Shouldn't take long. 	Said matter-of-factly
 	 	 	I heard it's in a campsite of some kind. Doubt you'll get any charred marshmallows out of it, though... too bad. 	He started to think about the marshmallows and sort of drifted away
 	 	 	You're going to a campsite, friend. I mean, I guess you're always camping in a way, right? But this is more like... a regular camp. 	NPC muses about the fact that they are, in fact, in a camp
 	 	 	You'll need to go to this particular camp. I went there once, long ago. Not for any good reasons, either. 	NPC is remorseful about something that they won't explain
 	 	 	Caves. I was told, check the caves. I asked a couple others who have been up there lately, and one particular cave stands out. 	He is pretty confident that this is the right info.
 	 	 	Someone mentioned this one cave in particular. Seems like a reasonable place to start. 	He is pretty confident that this is the right info.
 	 	 	Once I hid in this cave here, you know, trying to shake the gang off my trail. Overlaps a bit with what I heard folks talking about. Try there first? 	He is only sort of confident that this is the right info.
 	 	 	It's in an old Civic Building. I went there once, long ago. Made a mess of the place... 	He regrets those days
 	 	 	Friend of a friend confirmed that it's in this old Civic Building. 	
 	 	 	Trader stopped by and chatted up a storm about this old Civic Building. Sounds like a damn mess. 	NPC tells the player they have to go here.
 	 	 	I keep hearing people talk about this old communications building. Sounds like the place to start. 	Telling the player where to go to find the thing.
 	 	 	Gotta head to an old communications building, I think I figured out which one from a couple different sources. Must be your lucky day. 	Telling the player where to go.
 	 	 	Seems like you need to check out this particular building. Old comm ops place. 	Comm ops = communications operations building.
 	 	 	It's an old compound, bunker, that kind of thing. 	
 	 	 	Everybody I talked to said to check out this specific compound. 	Telling the player where to go.
 	 	 	From the folks I spoke with, seems like you should go here and search this compound. At least check there first. 	Telling the player where to go.
 	 	 	Time for some dam action, am I right? Well, this is for you, my friend. 	He tries to be funny.
 	 	 	Dam. You. 	He tries to sound like Grahm the Super Mutant with just these too words. Said gruffly.
 	 	 	That was my best impression of Grahm telling a joke where you need to go to a dam. Oh, and yeah, that's where you're going. 	He tries to be funny.
 	 	 	Finally. It's time for some dam activity around here! 	He tries to be funny. It's a pun, since you're going to a dam.
 	 	 	Heard you should check out this factory in particular. 	
 	 	 	I've been in this particular factory before... for reasons I won't go into right now. I'd say it's worth checking out. It's a good hiding place. 	Feels bad about his past
 	 	 	Thirty hobos agreed: this factory is the spot. Ok, maybe it wasn't thirty, and maybe they weren't all hobos. But it felt like it, and smelled like it. 	He tries to be funny.
 	 	 	I've got a real good feeling about this farm. Just... check it out first. 	He knows something about it but isn't explaining.
 	 	 	Check out the farm. Heard a few traders talk about it, seems legit to me. 	Telling the player to go there to find an item or kill something/someone
 	 	 	I overheard some traders talk about this farm in particular. Seems to be worth a quick look-see. 	Could have what the player is looking for
 	 	 	You need to go to this house, I promise. 	Leans in and promises at the end
 	 	 	Trader passed this house by recently, confirmed what I heard from someone else. So start there first. 	Verified target
 	 	 	This is an easy one. Should be a small house. That's all. I even got you an address. 	Proud of himself
 	 	 	Heard a trader talk about this particular lookout tower. It's a small space, so it shouldn't take you long to check it out. 	Suggesting the option to the player
 	 	 	It's at this lookout tower. A while ago, I was up at the top of a lookout tower, hopped up on chems, looking across Appalachia and thinking... 	he says this in a serious way, but it's a set up for a joke
 	 	 	"Wow, I'm going to be sick." And I was. All down the side of the tower. I don't know if it was this one... but... anyway. Uh. That's all I got. 	He tries to be funny.
 	 	 	Check out this Lookout Tower. Seems to match up with a couple stories I heard recently, anyway. 	It's a good guess, he figures.
 	 	 	A trader was talking about this medical facility, and it sounded like the place you ought to start looking. 	He's pretty sure this is true
 	 	 	This medical facility really jumps out as a good place to start looking. Matches up with a couple rumors I heard. 	He's pretty sure this is true
 	 	 	Heard some scavengers talk about this particular medical facility. You should start here. 	He's pretty sure this is true
 	 	 	A trader kept talking about this mine. Seems promising, so let's start there, okay? 	He's pretty confident that this is a solid choice.
 	 	 	Out of all the possible locations in this area, you really ought to try this mine first. I used to use it for my own purposes back in the day. 	He's pretty confident that this is a solid choice.
 	 	 	It may be risky, but this mine is a pretty good possibility. Try there first? 	He's somewhat confident that this is a good choice.
 	 	 	How long has it been since you were at the park? Well, everything I heard indicates that's where to look. Try to have some fun, will ya? 	He's trying to be fun about it.
 	 	 	Check out the park, I suppose. No other place really sticks out as a good option. Maybe you'll see some squirrels while you're there, eh? 	He's trying to be fun about it.
 	 	 	I heard there were some odd things going on at the park lately. I dunno. Could be exactly what we're looking for. 	He's somewhat confident that this is a good choice.
 	 	 	I heard there have been unusual occurrences at this power substation lately. It's a bit of a leap, but probably worth checking out first. 	He's somewhat confident that this is a good choice.
 	 	 	I had this list of potential places, right. Now, I've crossed off almost every place on it... except for this one power substation. 	He's sorta confident that this is a okay choice.
 	 	 	Grahm told me about this power substation specifically. I trust him, and so should you. 	He's very confident that this is a good choice.
 	 	 	Go to this research facility. Guaranteed. Someone tried to sell me that information, can you believe it? I bought it. I don't care. 	He's very confident that this is a good choice.
 	 	 	According to every bit of gossip I've overheard lately, you should absolutely check out this research facility. 	He's somewhat confident that this is a good choice.
 	 	 	I remember scavenging this particular research facility for chems and scrap, and... I did find that stuff... but also, well... 	Feels bad about his past, sorta
 	 	 	I also recall that it was not a bad spot for all sorts of suspicious purposes. It's kind of a long shot in a way, but may as well, right? 	He's somewhat confident that this is a good choice.
 	 	 	Seems quite likely that this resort is where we want to start. Can you believe a couple junkies recommended a resort to me? This world... 	He's somewhat confident that this is a good choice. "This world, (I swear)..."
 	 	 	I eliminated several potential locations, but this resort sticks out. Start there first, okay? 	He's somewhat confident that this is a good choice.
 	 	 	As a last... resort... you ought to check this place out. Surprise! It's a resort. Chems ruined my sense of humor. 	He's trying to be humorous.
 	 	 	Heard from a trader about this place. Some old restaurant. Seemed like a good place to start looking. 	Then he starts to wonder after he says this...
 	 	 	I wonder what it would be like to eat there back in the old times? People would travel there, go inside, sit down, and someone brings them food? 	Wondering...
 	 	 	Seems so... odd to me. I heard they started to set these places up again in Crater and Foundation. Maybe I should go there, just to see it. 	Wondering
 	 	 	I was able to pull in a few favors on this one to narrow down the location. Sounds like you should check out this restaurant. 	Confident
 	 	 	Try this old restaurant first. You'll know if it isn't it pretty quickly. 	Pretty confident
 	 	 	This old school seems to be where to go. Trust me. Heard it from a couple traders, and almost a third of them wouldn't lie. 	Sort of joking
 	 	 	I heard from a nearly trustworthy source that this school might be interesting. Figured it's possibly safe enough for you to explore. 	Sort of joking
 	 	 	Go to this school here. Can you believe that people used to send kids to these dumps? I can't even imagine why. 	Sort of joking
 	 	 	You should check out this old store first. A couple traders confirmed this spot for me and I didn't even need to pay them. With caps anyway. 	Innuendo it up. What did he pay them with??? The world will never know.
 	 	 	Go to this store and start there. If nothing else, there might be some junk to scavenge. 	explaining a mission/favor you are asking the player to do
 	 	 	Heard a bum and a Brahmin trader discussing this store loudly and drunkenly. I mean... to be clear, this was one of dozens of discussions they had. 	Sort of joking
 	 	 	I hope those two love birds are still together, somewhere. 	Sort of joking
 	 	 	Couldn't pull a ton of information from this. I just know that you need to search this town... it's a start, right? 	Sort of joking
 	 	 	So, look. Check out this town. You should be able to track down more information when you're in there. Sorry I couldn't pinpoint it closer. 	Seriously wishes he could have more info
 	 	 	Go to this town and look around. I bet you'll be able to narrow it down pretty fast. Traders really didn't know much more this time. 	Wishes he knew more
 	 	 	I eliminated several possible locations except for the train yard. Start there. If nothing else, you got to see a train. 	Sort of joking
 	 	 	I asked a buddy who asked an old hunter friend, who asked a former solider she knows, who asked a farmer that just arrived from the east... 	
 	 	 	And the farmer said that she heard a trader say that he thinks this train yard might be worth checking out. So... seems like a start to me. 	Sort of joking
 	 	 	Found a guy willing to tell me what's up with this train yard in exchange for a lot of booze. I won't go into specifics, but you need to start here. 	Sort of joking
 	 	 	This tunnel has a lot of strange stories. Trader swears he saw a ghost there. Farmer says she definitely heard odd animal noises. 	Jokingly, sort of
 	 	 	A drunk guy swears he dropped his best booze there. Grahm said he saw lights there once. All I can say is that it seems active and could be the spot. 	Jokingly, sort of
 	 	 	I saw some folks with a map of this area the other day, and this tunnel was circled. Heavily. From their conversation, it seems like our place too. 	He is pretty excited that he overheard this info
 	 	 	Believe it or not, it's hard to ask folks about tunnels without them becoming awfully crude relatively fast. Annoying, right? 	Setting up a joke...
 	 	 	Anyway, I think it's a good place to start. Just poke your head inside and see for yourself though, you know? 	Innuendo
 	 	 	This was a hard one to pinpoint. I was able to eliminate a bunch of nearby locales... but I think it's just going to be in the wilderness. 	He wishes he had better info
 	 	 	Heard a couple folks referencing some distances to landmarks but... there's nothing really nearby except wilderness. Worth a try? 	He wishes he had better info
 	 	 	I asked a couple hunters that I know, and they thought this area of the wilderness seemed promising. 	It's the best he could do.
 	 	 	It's... sort of near... this spot, I guess? I mean, the description I got was really vague. 	sincere, trying to be helpful, but you really don't know much
 	 	 	The information I have about this place is pieced together from a drunk and a chem fiend's dazed conversation. So... I can maybe get you close. 	sincere, trying to be helpful, but you really don't know much
 	 	 	I have a vague idea but... nobody wanted to spill the beans about this place. I don't know if they didn't know or if they didn't want me to know. 	sincere, trying to be helpful, but you really don't know much
 	 	 	Some folks have been searching but, well, they need a professional at this point. 	Offering a player a rescue mission to help a person out. They fear the worst.
 	 	 	It's always tense to look for somebody in need, but I think it's worth the effort. 	Asking the player to rescue someone.
 	 	 	Gotta hurry on this one, don't know how much time we have left. You know what I mean? 	The person could die if they aren't found soon.
 	 	 	All I know is that this is a hostile situation, you should be prepared for anything. I know you always are, but... still. 	Offering the player a quest to kill an unknown target.
 	 	 	I know you can handle anything, but... this could be especially dangerous. 	Offering the player a quest to kill an unknown target.
 	 	 	If I had more info, believe me, I'd tell you. I don't like putting you in a risky situation, but... I've seen you work. You can handle it. 	Offering the player a quest to kill an unknown target.
 	 	 	You should expect to find an Angler there for sure. Could be more. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	There's an Angler there. That much I know. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	Expect to encounter an Angler there, that's one thing I can tell you for sure. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	An Assaultron is known to be around there. My favorite. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	You shouldn't be surprised to encounter some robots there, in fact, I'd expect you to run into an Assaultron in particular. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	There's an Assaultron there, and you need to destroy it. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	There's a giant Bloatfly up there. Nasty fella. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	Big ol' Bloatfly is up there. Your job is to smash it. That's all. Smash. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	What will you find there, you might ask? A big Bloatfly. A giant one. Huge. Okay, I don't know how big it is. But big enough for a reputation. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	It's a Bloodbug. You will be doing everybody a big favor by squashing this thing. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	Your target is a Bloodbug. Kill it before it does more damage, or... worse... breeds. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	It's a Bloodbug. I know, you're leaping with joy. "Yes, finally! A disgusting giant bug full of blood and gnarly bits that I can squish!" 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	Piece of crap Blood Eagle punk needs to be taught a lesson. I'm not fooling around. The lesson is death, you get me? 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	I need you to kill a Blood Eagle scumbag. The whole thing makes me so mad that I can barely talk about it. Just trust me on this. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	Heard that some Blood Eagle scumbag is attempting to form a new group, and that needs to be ended. Immediately. Violently. Permanently. Got it? 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	I need you to thoroughly destroy a Cave Cricket. Watch out, it might have a nest. I don't know for sure. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	Expect to find a Cave Cricket. With their gnarly long legs... and... those eyes. I hate the eyes. Yeah, just crush it, will you? 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	There's a Cave Cricket there. You know what to do. Smash it! Then get the hell out! 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	There's a Deathclaw there for sure. I heard it was a big one too. Not sure exactly how big... 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	How do you feel about Deathclaws? Well. There's one here, and it's pissed. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	Expect to run into a Deathclaw. It will know you're there before you see it, probably. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	Believe it or not, there's an Eyebot there. Probably broken since it's so aggressive. It just needs to be destroyed. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	Be on the lookout for an Eyebot. See what I did there? SEE? Hah! I can't stop myself! 	What a jokester. Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	Brace yourself. It's... it's terrible. The worst. You should expect to find the toughest thing... the.. monster... the terrifying... 	Trying to sell this as a serious enemy
 	 	 	Eyebot. It's an Eyebot. It's probably broken and sort of messed up. Just destroy it, will you? 	Casual, as if this is below asking the player to do. This comes after a long setup.
 	 	 	Get this: it's a Fog Crawler. Bet you weren't expecting that, huh? 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	You should know that there's a Fog Crawler there. There could be more. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	Word is, there's a Fog Crawler there, and it's pissed. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	Supposedly there's a mean feral ghoul there for sure. Could be more, you know how they are. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	I need you to put down a Feral Ghoul. It's caused too much grief already. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	Normally, nobody cares about specific Feral Ghouls, but there's one here with a bit of a reputation... and it needs to be put down. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	The Grafton Monster is there. You know what that means. You need to be prepared. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	Brace yourself. It's the Grafton Monster. So, prepare accordingly. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	Look. I'm not going to beat around the bush here. It's the Grafton Monster, and it's serious. 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.

 	 	 	There are giant insects there, and you're the exterminator. Got it? 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.

 	 	 	There's a Mole Rat with your name on it. Well, I bet it has a name like SQUEAAAAKERRR but regardless, you need to kill it. 	"SQUEAAAAKERR" is just some squeaky mole type sound. Make it something funny.

 	 	 	You need to find a particular Mr. Gutsy and turn it into a Mr. Deadsy. 	Jokingly. Telling the player what they might encounter there.

 	 	 	It's like... shuffling crispy papers. Just... just kill it, okay? 	
 	 	 	It's a Radroach. A big one. I don't want to see evidence that you killed it. I just want to know it's gone. Got it? 	Telling the player what they might encounter there.

 	 	 	There's a raging Robot that needs to be shut down! I'd say it's a rabid Robot but that's not a thing. But it kinda is, you know? 	Jokingly. Telling the player what they might encounter there.
 	 	 	So there's a Scorchbeast that is even more annoying than a regular Scorchbeast, if you can imagine that. You need to take it down. 	NPC is friendly and good natured. Concerned. He is telling the player what they need to kill.

 	 	 	Apparently there's a Sentry Bot that is following people, following wildlife... running over bunnies. What is it with these rogue robots and bunnies? 	NPC is friendly and good natured. Concerned. He is telling the player what they need to kill.
 	 	 	Anyway, it needs to be shut down. Fast. 	
 	 	 	Nobody saw it, but they heard it. The raging call, wild... chilling. One woman recognized the noise: a Sheepsquatch. It needs to be put down. Now. 	Ominous
 	 	 	Someone heard a Sheepsquatch, so we know for sure that's there. Might be alone. Those things are unpredictable. 	NPC is friendly and good natured. Concerned. He is telling the player what they need to kill.

 	 	 	It's a TICK! I hate them. I just... look. Kill it. Don't tell me about it. We'll just nod at each other and that's it. I don't need to know. 	Shuddering. He hates these things. NPC is friendly and good natured. He is telling the player what they need to kill.
 	 	 	Here's the deal. It's a Tick. You're thinking, hey Beckett, why would you need me to kill a random Tick? Well, look. Here's why. 	Shuddering. He hates these things. NPC is friendly and good natured. He is telling the player what they need to kill.
 	 	 	A, they carry diseases. B, have you seen the way they bloat up? C, their legs. Their legs. D, I'm already getting shivers. Just kill it, please? 	He's listing these out (a, b, c, d). He hates these things. NPC is friendly and good natured. He is telling the player what they need to kill.
 	 	 	It's a Tick. There could be more, but there's definitely one. I bet it's just full of eggs. Just bursting... oh, I'm going to be sick. Just kill it? 	Shuddering. He hates these things. NPC is friendly and good natured. He is telling the player what they need to kill.
 	 	 	There's a giant, mega Toad. A Radtoad. Whatever you want to call it. It's causing harm at this point. Just go squish it, okay? 	NPC is friendly and good natured. He is telling the player what they need to kill.
 	 	 	Heard a Radtoad was disrupting the local wildlife. Thing is big enough to eat a Brahmin. For safety, it needs to be put down. Got it? 	NPC is friendly and good natured. He is telling the player what they need to kill.
 	 	 	It's a Radtoad. Usually I don't care about these things, but, well. This one is causing grief and it just needs to go. 	NPC is friendly and good natured. He is telling the player what they need to kill.
 	 	 	There's a vicious dog that needs to get put down. I hate doing it too, but... it needs to happen. This one has lost its mind. 	The NPC is telling the player that they need to kill this creature. NPC is good natured and friendly. Feels bad for the dog.

 	 	 	It's a Vicious Dog and it's terrorizing folks, wildlife, even other vicious dogs. You know? It's a nasty one, and we need it to be destroyed. 	The NPC is telling the player that they need to kill this creature. NPC is good natured and friendly. Sad for the dog.
 	 	 	It's a Wolf. A big mean one, too. I'd normally say let wildlife be wildlife, but not when it's causing such harm to folks. Find it and destroy it. 	The NPC is telling the player that they need to kill this creature. NPC is good natured and friendly.
 	 	 	It's a huge, nasty wolf. Heard a rumor it's another one of the Beast of Beckley's pups. Dunno if that's true. Regardless, it needs to be destroyed. 	The NPC is telling the player that they need to kill this creature. NPC is good natured and friendly.
 	 	 	Hmm? Uh. Kill the wolf. No? Not enough? 	He says it haltingly, as if he's trying to talk to someone who's out of it.
 	 	 	I just figured you were in a hurry and wanted the info fast. Suit yourself. Anyway, be on guard for a wolf. It's killed before, and will kill again. 	Giving out the info in expanded terms
 	 	 	There's a giant, angry Yao Guai that needs to be destroyed. Heard it's way beyond the point where we could lure it away with honey. 	The NPC is telling the player that they need to kill this creature. NPC is good natured and friendly.
 	 	 	It's a mean Yao Guai. Could be more. Hard to pull good details from the reports due to all the screaming and flailing. 	The NPC is telling the player that they need to kill this creature. NPC is good natured and friendly.
 	 	 	It's a gnarly, strong Yao Guai. No idea why it's so aggressive, quite honestly. Could be protecting something. But it's killed, so it needs to die. 	The NPC is telling the player that they need to kill this creature. NPC is good natured and friendly.
 	 	 	Just got some news about a stolen weapon stashed somewhere nearby. You wanna go grab it? 	
 	 	 	I heard a rumor that there's a nifty weapon hidden in a cache nearby. It's yours if you want it. 	
 	 	 	I'm going to tell you where you can find a stolen weapon. You can sell it or keep it, and we both walk away with some caps. You good? 	
 	 	 	I recieved a tip-off about a nasty weapon that's just dying to be found. You in or what? 	
 	 	 	How would you feel if I told you that there's some poor lonely weapon out there, scared and alone, just waiting to be found by a certain someone? 	Said in an amused but also slightly flirty way.
 	 	 	Not sure how long this tip will be good for, but I heard about a weapon that you might want to swipe before someone else does. 	
 	 	 	Someone from the old gang is hiding a weapon nearby, and I want you to grab it before they return. Sound good? 	
 	 	 	I love how you look in literally anything, you know that. But... hey, who doesn't like to have more armor, am I right? 	
 	 	 	I heard about some stashed armor nearby, and uh, thought it might look good on you too. 	Being funny. maybe a little sarcasm
 	 	 	I just got a tip about some schnazzy armor just waiting to be stol... I mean, found. Sound like a plan? 	cutting off saying "stolen"
 	 	 	I've received hot news about some armor just sitting there begging to get claimed. I assume you're in? 	
 	 	 	Trader stopped by while you were out, told me that some armor was yanked right off his pack brahmin. He didn't want to go back for it, but you could. 	
 	 	 	Not gonna tell you how I know this, but I know where you can pick up some free armor. I mean, you gotta work for it, but it's basically free. 	Jokingly
 	 	 	I got a red hot tip on a valuable piece of junk. It's yours if you want it. 	Said jokingly.
 	 	 	I have an interesting prospect for you. A highly valuable item just moments away, ready to be picked up. You in? 	
 	 	 	I know you once said you love finding and picking up bits of garbage all across Appalachia. Well, today's your lucky day, my friend. 	being silly while offering a quest
 	 	 	I heard about a cache that might appeal to you. Got time? 	
 	 	 	I had some chem fiend stumble by and talk about a stash of "good shit" nearby. Could be garbage, could be legit. Want to go for it? 	fun line to play with - offering quest
 	 	 	I have it on good authority that some raiders have a fat stash of junk nearby. Perhaps you should relieve them of their burden? 	have fun with the line - offering quest
 	 	 	A group of Settlers passing through said they left some stuff nearby. Wanna pick through it? 	
 	 	 	How about a riddle? What's lucrative, nearby and ends up with huge hole in its chest? The answer... your next target! You in? 	a joking way to offer a kill quest
 	 	 	I just got word that we need to end someone's life. I promise, this one doesn't deserve your mercy. You okay with that? 	Asking the player to kill someone.
 	 	 	I have a name that needs to get snuffed out of this world. Hurt a lot of people. You follow me? 	
 	 	 	I have a target for you to handle personally. With your hands. Or a gun. Or a knife. I don't care how. They just need to die. Can you do it? 	
 	 	 	Settlers are complaining about a piece of crap roughing up some locals. If you don't mind more loser blood on your hands, I got the details. 	
 	 	 	Some poor kids rushed through here while you were out. Said they were being harassed by someone. Think you can take out some trash for us all? 	
 	 	 	Got a tip that an old gang member is nearby stirring up trouble, and I want it gone. Got time for a hunt? 	
 	 	 	Someone slipped a job in my pocket while I was snoozing. Something about a target that needs killing. You in? 	
 	 	 	Got a bounty. It involves you, a target, some acts of brutality and lots of gratuitous violence. Sound like something you want to be a part of? 	offering quest - being a little silly
 	 	 	An old friend of mine heard you love laying waste to anything that crosses your path... so, can I just give you the details and let you do your thing? 	Friendly, admiring the player, genuine respect
 	 	 	A "situation" popped up earlier today, and you're just the person I need to handle something quickly, confidentially and destructively. Okay? 	kind of sinister - offering a target to kill
 	 	 	A bunch of Settlers ran by here while you were out, screaming about something attacking them. Feel like cleaning up the mess? 	
 	 	 	I just got a noise complaint from some Settlers. Not a ton of details on it, but it's definitely dangerous. Sound good? 	
 	 	 	I have something that needs a swift and absolutely brutal ending. I know you know exactly what to do here, you always do. How about it? 	offering quest - have some fun with the line
 	 	 	I have a rescue that could use your special touch. You willing to lend them a hand? 	
 	 	 	I've gotten word that someone needs a hero today, and that, my dear friend, is you. Feel like helping out? 	having fun offering a rescue quest
 	 	 	I have an old buddy who could use your help right about now. Can you head out there and see what you can do? 	
 	 	 	I need you to waltz yourself into someone's life, sweep them off their feet... and get them to safety. Got time for it? 	said in a joking way - offering a rescue quest
 	 	 	I've got a rough situation -- a missing person. Family is distraught. Feel like helping out with the reunion? 	true concern
 	 	 	Fella ran by earlier, said he needed someone to help rescue a friend. Got some spare time? Seemed dire. 	
 	 	 	Oh, I don't know. Take your pick. I've stolen, I've looted... pretty much pulled every dirty trick in the book. 	
 	 	 	Good, and I know exactly where we should start. 	Admires the player a bit for this.
 	 	 	If we want to take the Blood Eagles down, killing the sheep isn't going to do the trick. We need to go after the shepherds. 	
 	 	 	But before we head down that road, we'll need help. Which means I need to... right a few wrongs. 	embarrassed a bit at admitting his sordid past
 	 	 	Oh yeah? Then I'll consider myself lucky that busting me out of there was entertaining enough for you to stick around. 	A little sassy for the "bored" response.
 	 	 	A do-gooder, huh? I can work with that. I've met some of your kind before. I don't get it, but, uh... whatever turns you on, I guess. 	Nodding, slightly shocked. Adopting a live and let live lifestyle.
 	 	 	Oh, well, uh... I hope that doesn't include EX-raiders. Because I've left that life behind. 	
 	 	 	Why'd you break me out of Rollins, anyway? You don't know me. I could be a bloodthirsty maniac, an axe-wielding ex-con... a door-to-door salesman! 	Curious about the player's motives, a little suspicious.
 	 	 	Okay, it's not that urgent. Just a crate full of delicious poisoned food that's going to be delivered to some very hungry naive Settlers... 	
 	 	 	Take your time... 	
 	 	 	Sounds good. After I listen to the recording, I'll keep looking for Sage. I could use his... er, sense of humor right now. 	
 	 	 	Hard to say, but... usually when I stand outside and howl his name for an hour or so, he tends to show up. 	
 	 	 	Don't worry, I won't do that while you're around. I promise. 	
 	 	 	I... I know. It's in the back of my mind all the time right now. But I refuse to give up until I have proof. 	balled fists talk
 	 	 	I can promise you one thing. Whether Frankie is dead or alive, we're going to hunt down and kill as many of these goddamn Blood Eagles as we can. 	balled fists talk
 	 	 	No. Just the holotape. I think maybe they kidnapped her to get to him. That's what they do. That's what they're doing to me right now. 	going from irritated to sad
 	 	 	I don't know. I don't know anything. Other than I feel like this is all my fault. 	
 	 	 	Foundation wasn't a complete bust. No one knew where Frankie went, but I did find this holotape. 	
 	 	 	Seems Frankie had a girlfriend. Never thought I'd live to see the day. Poor kid. Hope we can get him out of this mess. If he's still alive... 	a moment of levity before crashing back to worry
 	 	 	Need anything before you head out? 	
 	 	 	I'll head to Foundation. See if I can get a hold of some of Frankie's friends, or rummage through his stuff. I'll see what I can turn up. 	
 	 	 	Frankie? No. There's no way. 	it's almost funny if you weren't so worried. your brother was a good guy
 	 	 	They're holding him for leverage, plain and simple. And now that their Buffout supply is gone, god knows how they're going to mess with his mind. 	
 	 	 	Whew. Yeah, yeah... you're right. I can't let this get to me. 	snapping out of it a bit
 	 	 	Think... I need to think... 	
 	 	 	Okay, Beckett... breathe here. Let's see. He's a smart kid. Maybe he'll escape on his own? No. No... damn it! 	you're so worried, it's clouding your thoughts, very frustrating
 	 	 	Oh my god. I keep imagining the terrible things they're doing to him. I... I can't think! 	
 	 	 	You're a real friend. You truly are. 	
 	 	 	It's Frankie... my kid brother. I told that idiot to leave Foundation and hide, but he wouldn't listen. 	
 	 	 	Now the Blood Eagles have him and I don't know what the hell I'm going to do. This is all my fault. 	
 	 	 	I get it. Trust me, that Nurse Bot has been there for a while by now. I don't even know if she's still functional. It can probably wait. 	
 	 	 	If it doesn't, we just have to move on without them. 	
 	 	 	There was this Settler family that came to Appalachia looking for treasure a while back. Brought their Miss Nanny with them. They... don't need it anymore.	dark memories. "they don't need it anymore" because you killed them in a previous life.
 	 	 	I was thinking... Maybe Ronny could use it to help with Edwin. 	hoping to make something you did that haunts you in your past into something positive now.
 	 	 	Nope. Though I know he'll be back. He's probably out there somewhere, talking to the rocks again. 	
 	 	 	I get you. Maybe I can ask Ronny to help out here... but... let me know if you find some time. 	
 	 	 	Yeah, it's the only way. Want anything before you head out? 	
 	 	 	Well... I'm sure it'll uh, find its way home to Edwin now that you've freed it. Yeesh. 	
 	 	 	In the meantime, I've heard the Blood Eagles have recruited a mechanic named "Star," and they plan to have her help take over a radio station. 	
 	 	 	We can't let that happen. 	
 	 	 	I'm not sure yet, I'm hoping some of my contacts will give me an idea while you're grabbing... the uh, dog. Heh. Sorry. 	
 	 	 	No problem, friend. 	
 	 	 	Thanks friend. I know it's silly but... hey. It means something to Edwin so... what can we do? 	
 	 	 	Ronny came by while you were away. She said Edwin can't even consider helping us at all, he's in a state of... uhhh, despair. 	youre about to introduce a ridiculous concept to Player, so breaking it slowly
 	 	 	I know this sounds... petty compared to what you've already done but... well, his, um... his dog is missing. 	you're about to introduce a ridiculous concept to Player, so breaking it slowly
 	 	 	You got it, friend. 	
 	 	 	I understand. I'll be around. 	
 	 	 	If you fall for the hype, the cute names are supposed to represent how they contribute to the leadership. Bunch of bullcrap if you ask me. 	
 	 	 	The Blood collects "new blood" through forced conscription, The Eye searches for and extracts secrets from prisoners that can bring down the gang. 	
 	 	 	And don't forget The Claw who basically tortures and breaks the recruits who resist. A real bunch of freakin' lunatics. 	
 	 	 	Yeah, it is. I can't lie, this rips me up inside. I'm terrified. 	
 	 	 	It feels like... my own blood is working against me. I feel like I'm forced to be... docile here. 	
 	 	 	This is so embarrassing. Upsetting. But... thank you. I need your help more than you realize. 	
 	 	 	Anyway, it's time to move on to the big score. 	
 	 	 	I want you to kill the first of the gang's three leaders: The Blood. This is the one who finds the most vulnerable... and brings them to the Cave. 	
 	 	 	Sure, sure. Everyone likes a little taste of the chems once in a while. Hell, I popped Psycho for years, but I knew when enough was enough. 	you're not buying the Player's boast
 	 	 	Take too much Buffout though, and it'll fry your brain... leave you really open to suggestion. Catch my drift? 	
 	 	 	He's the leader of a different gang of raiders. Really tough guy. Sharpened his teeth into points. You know. Classy. 	
 	 	 	His diary has a lot of uh, precious, sad little secrets. Stuff you wouldn't want your gang to hear, if you catch my meaning. 	
 	 	 	To impress the Eagles, I sort of stole the diary and stashed it away, so he's not exactly thrilled with me right now. 	
 	 	 	Regular Blood Eagles aren't the problem, they're the symptom. I mean yes, they're terrible... but the three bosses are clearly building an army. 	
 	 	 	As they increase the doses of Buffout, the addicted become... worse. More violent, more terrible. We have to put a stop to that. 	
 	 	 	He's not crazy, just misguided and burned out. That's what messing with all those cults will do to you. 	
 	 	 	I bet you want a drink as well, right? Free one, on the house! Sorry, uh... no alcohol in the free ones. 	
 	 	 	If we want to take out the Blood Eagles, we need to cut off the supply before we cut off the head. 	
 	 	 	The Cave is where the the Blood Eagles store their supply of Buffout, without it... well, it'd be harder to convert new members. 	
 	 	 	I'm not wasting your time, I promise. Actually... he did give me some information. Valuable information. 	
 	 	 	He has. I don't even know his full story, honestly... but, well, he is useful. He's always been able to help me out. He just, sees things differently. 	
 	 	 	Nah, that's his default sort of self. He rarely makes a ton of sense at first... but I assure you, we got some info. 	
 	 	 	Sage is, you know. He's been through a lot. He just sees things in a different way, but he still sees things. You know what I mean? 	
 	 	 	Not yet. He's er... a free spirit. I love him dearly. But... dependability? Mindfulness? Reality? Not his thing. 	
 	 	 	No problem. What can I get you? 	
 	 	 	Want a drink before you head out, or what? 	
 	 	 	*Laughs* All right, all right... slow down there, killer. 	
 	 	 	If we want to take down the Blood Eagles, we need Edwin's help, and to get Edwin's help we need him on our side. We take it one step at a time. 	
 	 	 	Perfect. Oh, and I bet there's a loot stash around there too, so keep your eye out. 	
 	 	 	Anyway, while you were gone, I reached out to Ronny from Edwin's gang. They want their key back, but they also want the traitor who stole it dead. 	
 	 	 	But good news, we finally have a name for this genius... "Bronx." Cute, huh? 	
 	 	 	Of course. What's on your mind? 	
 	 	 	Hell yeah. The bars open twenty four hours a day, all in a row! 	
 	 	 	I'll be stuck here waiting for Edwin to make peace, so thanks for stepping up. Again. 	
 	 	 	In the meantime, word's come back from Edwin. Turns out recovering his sad little diary isn't going to be enough, so I've thought of another idea. 	
 	 	 	Find the stolen key to his weapons cache. That, and killing the traitor that took it, might be enough to flip him in our direction. 	
 	 	 	You do-gooders are something else. You know that, right? 	
 	 	 	Before you go, care for a drink or anything? 	
 	 	 	Seriously? Weird. I didn't even have to pay you anything. You're kind of creeping me out, honestly. 	
 	 	 	I've got a buddy named Sage who joined a stupid cult and got himself swept up into their nonsense. I need you to find him and get him out of there. 	
 	 	 	In the meantime, I'll try and get this diary back to Edwin. Maybe that'll convince him to back us up. Sound good? 	
 	 	 	Right! So... my plan. Get ready. Brace yourself. 	Proud of it
 	 	 	Yeah, I'm sorry I stashed it there. I just... you know, I was a terrible chem-head back then. Lived in the moment, made bad decisions... uh. 	He has regrets but is playing it off
 	 	 	Speaking of which. I have more crap from my past to fix, and as my new therapy human, I need your help. 	
 	 	 	Well... a bit, sure. I don't know you. Heck, I don't even know if this is actually your place. I just assume it is, because who would lie about this? 	Sass
 	 	 	Anyway... I've got a plan, and it already involves you. I bet that's exciting to hear, right? So... get ready for it. 	
 	 	 	Truly? That's good to hear, because I have more for you to do. 	Another mission!
 	 	 	Sure thing, boss. 	Loops back to normal chats.
 	 	 	Go on... 	Loops back to normal chats.
 	 	 	Don't we all? 	Loops back to normal chats.
 	 	 	Uh huh. 	Loops back to normal chats.
 	 	 	I'm listening. 	Loops back to normal chats. Almost thinks of the player as a friend.
 	 	 	Spill it, friend. 	Loops back to normal chats. Almost thinks of the player as a friend.
 	 	 	Hit me! I mean. Don't *hit* me. But... hit me with... ah you know what I mean. 	Loops back to normal chats. Thinks of the player as a friend. Joking. Gives up at the end.
 	 	 	I'll gladly tell you what I know, friend. 	Loops back to normal chats. Thinks of the player as a friend.
 	 	 	Professional or personal? 	Loops back to normal chats. Thinks of the player as a friend.
 	 	 	And I might have some answers. Maybe. 	Loops back to normal chats. Thinks of the player as a friend.
 	 	 	Of course, boss. Talk to me. 	Loops back to normal chats. Thinks of the player as a good friend.
 	 	 	Lay 'em on me. Happy to help. 	Loops back to normal chats. Thinks of the player as a good friend.
 	 	 	You got it. 	player is buying hard alcohol.
 	 	 	Tell you what, I'll buy this round. The rest will be out of your pocket... this stuff doesn't come cheap, you know. 	
 	 	 	Ah, poetic. Charming. One of the first people I ever robbed was a wandering poet. She came to our camp when I was a kid... 	Opening up a bit, reflecting on some past trauma
 	 	 	She recited some poems from the old days, some "commercial jingles" she called them. I thought they were nice... 	Remembering. This is sort of a joke but he isn't in on the joke himself, he doesn't know what a jingle is.
 	 	 	When she fell asleep, I went through her satchel and stole all her mentats for my brother. And... that was that. 	Matter-of-factly.
 	 	 	For you, it's always open. What do you need? 	
 	 	 	All I have left is a brother. Name's Frankie. 	why is the player asking such a personal question?
 	 	 	That's... that's something we can talk about some other time. 	being evasive
 	 	 	I might still be. I gotta check my membership cards. 	
 	 	 	But seriously? Yeah. It was fun. Rough, but fun. Picked up the wrong sort of attention and got pulled in the wrong direction. 	
 	 	 	BAM! Instant Blood Eagle. Worst BlamCo product ever. 	
 	 	 	If you see me again, then everything went swimmingly! 	He says jovially
 	 	 	Sounds good. And if you happen to find the traitor who stole the key, offing them might be a good idea. 	
 	 	 	I kinda like this. I got the bigger plan, I find the pieces... you execute them. I feel like some sort of mastermind! 	
 	 	 	I mean... yes. That's a fair summary. 	
 	 	 	One beverage coming right up. 	
 	 	 	I think its name is Noodles?. I... I'm 60 percent sure of that, anyway. Uh. Good luck. 	
 	 	 	Then the bar's open. What can I get you? 	
 	 	 	You'll be back after these messages, right? That's what I heard people used to say all the time. 	
 	 	 	You only have to ask once. What do you need? 	in a nice way, opening the bar
 	 	 	Good. In the meantime, I'll put out some feelers for information on the rest of the Blood Eagles leadership. 	
 	 	 	You and me both, friend. You and me both. 	
 	 	 	Just hurry, there's no telling how long my brother will be able to hold out. 	
 	 	 	Frankie was... IS a good kid. I knew things were getting rough for me, so I left him with some Settlers. Didn't know he'd come down to Appalachia... 	saying the past-tense scared you for a sec - you dont know his fate yet
 	 	 	When I heard he was living in Foundation, I thought maybe... you know. Maybe he'll be safe with them. 	
 	 	 	I didn't tell anybody about him being there. I knew somebody would use it against me. I don't know how they found out... 	
 	 	 	You and me both, friend. 	
 	 	 	Awww. That's the sweetest thing anybody's ever said to me. 	
 	 	 	For you, the best I've got. Top shelf. 	
 	 	 	What choice will I have? I mean... no. I won't be okay. But eventually I'll be able to carry on. 	
 	 	 	I'm learning to do all sorts of things better. I don't want to learn how to do this, but... I'm preparing for it. 	
 	 	 	Be careful. Last thing I want to do is lose someone else that means a lot to me. 	
 	 	 	That's why I've been biding my time. After everything we did for her and her uncle Edwin... they owe us. Huge. 	
 	 	 	She'll be thrilled to help anyway. Ronny's been a thorn in the Blood Eagles' side forever. She's got it down to a damn art. 	
 	 	 	I hear you. Can't send you into battle without a little fire running through your veins, eh? 	
 	 	 	Thanks. I'll put the word out for a mutual contact while you're out... see if I can arrange for a meeting. 	He's got shit to do, and he's pretty excited to be getting things going.
 	 	 	And also, before you head out -- thanks for letting me stay here with no strings attached yet, anyway. I'll pull my weight around here, I will. 	
 	 	 	Well, you see... I'm a people person. And I like listening to people gab. Especially the tipsy ones. 	Genuinely amused by drunks.
 	 	 	There's more to it, but... eh. Let's leave it there for now. 	Touches on a sad memory and he backs off.
 	 	 	Well, since I'm not exactly Responder material, that doesn't leave me many options now, does it? 	
 	 	 	Let's just say I tend to keep mixed company. Don't worry though, I'm pretty sure my "friends" will help us out... well, I think so anyway. 	
 	 	 	Okay... but hurry. Please. We're almost there. 	
 	 	 	Anything you need before you go? 	
 	 	 	I can't thank you enough for everything you've done. 	
 	 	 	Sticking by me like this while I bark orders at you... hell, you're more than just a friend to me... you're like family. Thank you. 	
 	 	 	I need to stew on what he said, I suppose. "The Claw is meant for you, and it is exactly where your heart left it." 	
 	 	 	I know The Claw is the last of the three Blood Eagle leaders. But "is meant for you." What does that mean? 	
 	 	 	Always. What do you need? 	
 	 	 	I mean... okay... but maybe come back later. Right? 	
 	 	 	Wait! I got it! I know what we need to do. 	
 	 	 	The Blood Eagles have another leader, some sicko they call "The Eye." He's the gang's information extractor. You need to find him. 	working through worry and coming up with a plan
 	 	 	He's elusive, but I know where he does some of his worst shit to people... a place they call "The Lab." 	
 	 	 	Yeah, sorry. It's just... this is heavy for me... 	filled with remorse, at a loss, finding words
 	 	 	I'm still trying to wrap my head around it... 	filled with remorse, at a loss, finding words
 	 	 	No... not okay at all... 	filled with remorse, at a loss, finding words
 	 	 	This is perfect. I know exactly what we need to do. 	rubbing hands together, all pieces fell into place
 	 	 	I'll grab Ronny and track down exactly where The Claw is keeping Frankie. 	
 	 	 	In the meantime, I need you to hunt down and kill The Eye. Think you can handle it? 	
 	 	 	It's almost as though he's tying The Claw and Frankie together. 	
 	 	 	Holy shit! That's it. Sage was saying that Frankie is being held by The Claw! 	sudden revelation
 	 	 	I think it was the chems that I took which made me forget everybody. Made me forget myself. 	
 	 	 	When The Blood told me that I would get to watch everyone I love slowly get shredded in front of my eyes. 	
 	 	 	I imagined everything I could do to stop loving anyone. I gladly overdosed on the Buffout to burn it out of my heart. 	
 	 	 	What about the bit with the heart? "Where your heart left it" he said. 	
 	 	 	Damned if I know. 	
 	 	 	Look, Sage may sound crazy, but he's never steered me the wrong way. We have to trust this will lead us in the right direction. 	
 	 	 	He's the only Blood Eagle leader I never got a chance to meet, but I heard he's the worst of the three. 	
 	 	 	The Blood gathers the recruits, The Eye extracts valuable information and The Claw... he just tortures for pleasure. Real stand-up kind of a guy. 	obvious ironic sarcasm at the end
 	 	 	Yeah, well... that's going to happen no matter what Sage says. 	
 	 	 	While I'm doing that, I need you to help out with a new problem. 	
 	 	 	Word's come down that the Blood Eagles are stockpiling poison to use on Settlers's food supplies. We can't let that happen. 	
 	 	 	The way the Blood Eagles torture their prisoners, he'd be better off... 	realizing you're talking about your own brother, cut off your own thought at end
 	 	 	Oh man, I can't believe I'm even thinking stuff like that! We gotta get him out of there! 	
 	 	 	Honestly, I have no idea if it's still working... or if someone's wandered by and decided to strip it for parts. 	
 	 	 	Hello? Anyone in there? 	like "wake up, dummy"
 	 	 	I don't know how many times I have to explain this. If we want to finish off the Blood Eagles, we need Edwin's gang to help us out. 	
 	 	 	I'm not sure. His health has gone downhill since coming to Appalachia, probably because he insisted on hanging around the Ash Heap. 	
 	 	 	I was thinking about that. 	
 	 	 	Honestly, I'm glad you're back. Ronny is desperate for our help. 	
 	 	 	Edwin's much sicker than everyone thought, and... well, I don't think he's fit to run their gang any longer. 	
 	 	 	Look, that Buffout you stole? They forced that shit into my body, over and over until I couldn't even see straight. 	
 	 	 	That, and they tortured me... I'm just, I'm not ready to pull the trigger. Not yet. 	
 	 	 	Damn right we are, but before we break our arms patting ourselves on the back, we've still got tons of work to do. 	
 	 	 	Best bet would be my old pal, Edwin. To piss him off, I stole his stupid diary. If we want his help, we need to get it back for him. 	
 	 	 	Can you handle that? 	
 	 	 	Look, I'm going to make this short and sweet. These Blood Eagles are bad news, and they need to go down... hard. 	
 	 	 	You already stuck it to them once at the labor camp, so I know you've got what it takes. You feel like helping me wipe out the rest of these chumps? 	you've got murder on your mind.
 	 	 	*Laughs* Now that's what I'm talking about. 	
 	 	 	For everyone in Appalachia. They're out of control. They take what they want and kill anyone that gets in their way. 	
 	 	 	When their numbers start to drop, they kidnap innocent Settlers and force them to join the gang by shoving chems down their throat. 	
 	 	 	The things I've seen them do would make you sick. That's why I bailed out. It was too much, even for me. 	
 	 	 	Pfff, yeah sure, why not. Add it to my tab. 	
 	 	 	Hell, at this rate, I'm going to be in debt with half of Appalachia anyway. 	ironic joke
 	 	 	Of course not, but taking down the top dogs would reduce them to a bunch of unorganized stragglers. 	
 	 	 	That's why we concentrate on targeting their leadership. 	
 	 	 	Actually, I hadn't thought of that. Damn. 	
 	 	 	Well, we'll just have to see it through. We can't miss any opportunity to find him. Just... be careful, okay? 	
 	 	 	Thanks, friend. I knew I could depend on you to have my back. 	
 	 	 	Just... do what you need to do and come back safe. I don't want to lose you to those maniacs. 	very genuine - hand on shoulder
 	 	 	Don't say stuff like that, or I'll be forced to restore my bad reputation by kicking a cat or something. *Laughs* 	
 	 	 	In all seriousness, Edwin doesn't deserve to go out like that. He was a buddy, and I want to do everything I can to make amends with the guy. 	
 	 	 	Uh... yeah. I'm sure everything you just said made perfect sense to you, but all I heard was "blah, blah, blibbidy-blah." 	player said stuff way over your head
 	 	 	How about you just stick to burst jamming a bullet into Star's skull? That should do the trick. 	
 	 	 	Yeah. Those people are called "weirdos." 	eyeroll
 	 	 	I don't care if Edwin wants to MARRY his dog. If it puts his gang on our side, we all win. 	wry joke
 	 	 	Huh, yeah... I hadn't thought of that. 	
 	 	 	Come to think of it, the pills they force-fed me did look a little strange. Sigh. I'm glad I'm off of that shit, that's for sure. 	
 	 	 	Yeah, I can't really disagree with you there, but we don't have much choice. 	
 	 	 	There's no way we can take on the Blood Eagles alone. 	
 	 	 	Oh ho! We've got a mind reader here. You want to dig into what I've done? Fine. 	mock impressed, you're actually a bit irritated
 	 	 	I've killed people, okay? Killed them for as little as looking at me the wrong way. Thanks for reviving that painful memory. 	
 	 	 	What do you want to know? 	
 	 	 	Fair enough. What else can I get you? 	
 	 	 	Sure, sure. What else can I help you with? 	
 	 	 	No problem. Can I do anything else for you? 	
 	 	 	I appreciate that, I really do. 	
 	 	 	I think I'm finally making peace with the whole situation. Don't get me wrong, it still hurts like hell, but it's not holding me back. 	
 	 	 	Frankie was a good kid that fell into a horrible situation. He was so impressionable, he never stood a chance. 	
 	 	 	I'm just happy he's finally at peace. I know I am. 	
 	 	 	He's still a little bit messed up from all the chems, but he's slowly getting back to normal. 	
 	 	 	I actually convinced him he needed to find something to do... something to keep him busy while he recovers, so he's become a traveling merchant. 	
 	 	 	I think it'll do him a lot of good. Gives him a chance to collect his thoughts and shake off all the crap the Eagles stuffed in his head. 	
 	 	 	He stops by here from time-to-time. Maybe you'll run into him soon. 	
 	 	 	It is, right? I've got random weirdos who wander up all the time. I love it. Traders, hunters, scavengers, even a decent Super Mutant named Grahm. 	
 	 	 	Luckily, we haven't attracted anyone hostile. Yet. But don't worry, if they show up, I'll make them regret it. 	
 	 	 	Honestly, you've given me what I've always wanted. This bar... it's always been a dream. 	
 	 	 	A place where I can make some caps, shoot the shit with people like you and maybe even get drunk once-in-a-while. 	
 	 	 	I never had the means to build something like this for myself, or to have someone else care about what happens to me. 	
 	 	 	I tell you what, it's the best damn feeling in the world. 	
 	 	 	Well... I was using chems so heavily, I think I must have built up some kind of immunity. The stuff just wasn't sending me flying anymore. 	
 	 	 	After I snapped out of it, I was able to look around and see what the hell was going on... and just how messed up the Eagles really were. 	
 	 	 	I wanted to leave right away, but I knew they'd hunt me down. So I thought I'd be clever and take out a few of them first... you know, to scare them. 	
 	 	 	Welp, as you saw, that didn't scare them at all. They caught me... and threw me into Rollins. By all rights, I should be dead. 	
 	 	 	When the Blood Eagles started out, they were mostly a tattered group of con-artists and criminals, but something changed. 	
 	 	 	Some nasty chem-addicts joined up and took over the gang from within. They had some, uh... radical ideas. Crazy shit. You've seen the results. 	
 	 	 	Out of all this, a few "leaders" appeared. The Blood, The Eye and The Claw. It all happened so fast... no one was able to stop them. 	
 	 	 	And by the time I joined, I was so drugged up, I went right along with it all. 	
 	 	 	They keep you hooked on the chems, and the leadership knows exactly what to say to pull your strings... make you do what they want. 	
 	 	 	The few people that kicked the habit or resisted the chems ended up dead, so even when you were lucid, you kept your damn mouth shut. 	
 	 	 	Being with the Blood Eagles so long was just devastating. They suckered me in with sweet dreams of having fun... so many of us were scammed. 	
 	 	 	I never really knew my mom, and my dad died when I was pretty young... so I ended up having to take care of my brother, Frankie. 	
 	 	 	We had to steal food and drink to keep from starving. Turns out we were pretty darn good at it, so, we started our own little crime wave. 	
 	 	 	We never did anything serious though. I drew the line at stealing. Frankie was a bit, uh... trigger-happy, and that worried me. 	
 	 	 	When I was recruited by the Hooligans, I made Frankie stay at home. I wouldn't let him join. He always hated me for that. 	painful memory
 	 	 	Ah... Edwin's gang. Good booze, good people and good memories. 	
 	 	 	Edwin himself was a little crazy, I mean, not Blood Eagles crazy, but he never made us do anything we didn't want to do. 	
 	 	 	We were just a bunch of gangers, looking for loot, getting drunk and singing like a bunch of idiots through all hours of the night. 	reminiscing - "gangers" - like a slang for gang members
 	 	 	If it wasn't for my stupid chem addiction and falling in with the Eagles, I'm pretty sure I'd still be with his gang today. 	a little angry at yourself
 	 	 	You serious? I could give you a list. 	
 	 	 	If you're asking me to pick something in particular, it would have to be the dirt I shoveled for the Eagles. 	not proud
 	 	 	You have to understand, I was drugged out of my mind. The things that I did... I never would have done for any of the other gangs. 	still somber, but getting agitated at the memories
 	 	 	I have so much blood on my hands... I don't know if I'll ever be able to wash it all away. Let's... let's just talk about something else, okay? 	this is clearly making you uncomfortable, change subject please at end!
 	 	 	Okay. Need anything else? 	
 	 	 	Sure, what's on your mind? 	
 	 	 	The Blood Eagles, eh? Okay. Shoot. 	
 	 	 	While you were dealing with the trash, I managed to get a hold of Ronny. 	
 	 	 	She's going to help us take down the Blood Eagles at their final stronghold... Watoga Underground. 	
 	 	 	We will, just let me ask one thing before we go. 	
 	 	 	Oh, she's bringing the whole gang. It's going to be a bloodbath. Can't wait. 	
 	 	 	Honestly, I don't know. Ronny said she'll fill us in on everything when we get there. 	
 	 	 	If you're wondering what to bring, I'd bring everything you've got. This is The Claw's last stand, and he isn't going to go down easy. 	
 	 	 	Okay, but remember... Frankie's in there with that lunatic, and there's no telling what they're doing to him. Please hurry. 	
 	 	 	I'm just... a little worried about what's going to happen after we rescue Frankie and take down The Claw. 	show a bit of compassion here, you're worried the Player is going to dump you after questline is done
 	 	 	My work here will be done, but where does that leave us? 	
 	 	 	That's what I was hoping you'd say. 	
 	 	 	You know, it's kind of funny. In another life, you would have made a hell of a raider yourself. Imagine that. 	
 	 	 	That's uh... well, um... that's not exactly what I meant. 	this caught you off guard
 	 	 	But uh, hey... who knows what the future holds? Let's just see if we can get all this crazy shit done first. 	you're being a bit coy here, but you'll think about it
 	 	 	Well, I'm just worried that when we're done here, you're going to move on. 	
 	 	 	There might not be room at your camp for a washed-up raider and his bar. You know? 	
 	 	 	Come on, now. I mean, you're normally a decent guy, but sometimes you can be a real drag. How about a little more confidence in our team here? 	
 	 	 	Come on, now. I mean, you're normally a decent girl, but sometimes you can be a real drag. How about a little more confidence in our team here? 	
 	 	 	All right, I'm going to head out to Watoga Underground and get things set up with Ronny. You meet us there. 	
 	 	 	Let's do this. 	"lock and load"
 	 	 	There's still plenty of those maniacs around. The important thing is that we took out their leadership. 	
 	 	 	And since that was what I set out to do, I'm officially out of a job. 	
 	 	 	Yeah, I'm sure a few of those maniacs are still out there, and they'll be looking for a fight. 	
 	 	 	But as long as they remain leaderless, we'll be fine. 	
 	 	 	Now that Edwin's retired, Ronny is the full-time leader of the gang. 	
 	 	 	She said she'll swing by your C.A.M.P. once in a while and say hello... as long as the bar's open, of course. 	
 	 	 	That's right. After all the crap I've been through, there's no way I'm going back to that life. 	
 	 	 	Now don't get me wrong, I'll still be more than happy to accept the caps that come with brokering any jobs for you... if you're interested. 	
 	 	 	Well, I sure as hell don't want to pull up stakes and rebuild somewhere else. 	
 	 	 	Plus, we make a hell of a team. Who am I to break up our, uh... gang? 	you're saying gang as almost a joke here, the irony that you left the gangs behind feeding that
 	 	 	A little of this, a little of that. Nothing you haven't done before, don't worry. 	coy
 	 	 	Might want to stock up on ammo and supplies before you take them on though... just in case. 	
 	 	 	Great. I'll see what my contacts come up with. 	
 	 	 	So... I guess you have a lot of stuff to do and I need to start looking for some jobs to run. 	changing subject
 	 	 	If you ever need a drink or just want to talk, bar's always open, friend. 	
 	 	 	So... uh, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do now. I've actually, never been in a relationship with someone before. 	
 	 	 	Great start, right? *chuckles nervously* Maybe I'll just shut up and let this work out naturally. Yeah, that's probably best. 	
 	 	 	*Laughs* Well, good to know I'm not the only one who feels that way, and uh, I dig your honestly. 	
 	 	 	Hey, if crazy is what you want, there's plenty of that to go around. 	
 	 	 	Yeah... I guess that's the way normal people handle these things, right? 	feeling more comfortable
 	 	 	You see, I've never had anyone that wanted to get this close to me. It feels strange... and, it uh, it... it scares the hell out of me. 	admitting something a raider would never admit - you're vulnerable to player here
 	 	 	If I couldn't even keep my family intact, how is a relationship with you ever gonna work? What if I mess things up? 	
 	 	 	I know... I know. I sound crazy. But for once, it's not the chems talking. Does... this change your mind about things? About us? 	still vulnerable, cautious - you don't want to mess up this opportunity, the idea of a relationship is so alien to you
 	 	 	Oh. Yeah, okay. Good. 	you were expecting a friendlier interaction, but Player is sort of cutting you off
 	 	 	*Laughs* All right, all right. I'm good for it, I swear. 	
 	 	 	If I can be honest, I was kind of hoping you weren't going to bring that up. 	
 	 	 	I'm... well, I'm not sure how to respond to that. 	
 	 	 	Since I've been in Appalachia, I've run into all sorts of people. Most of them wouldn't bother to help if you were dying at their feet. 	
 	 	 	But you. What you've done for me, for my family? I don't know if I'll ever be able to repay you. 	
 	 	 	Sure, I hear what you're saying. Yeah... I suppose there's no need to rush into anything right now. 	you got friend-zoned
 	 	 	Use your brawn. I can tell that's one of your strengths. Should help out here. 	Kind warning that he might say to anybody. Admiring the player's strength.
 	 	 	I can tell you are just ready to charge in there, so go get 'em. 	Kind warning that he might say to anybody. Admiring the player's strength.
 	 	 	You seem pretty healthy and fit, but you never know what you'll encounter. Stay alert. Be ready for anything. 	Kind warning that he might say to anybody. Admiring the player's endurance
 	 	 	You're a damn tank, you know that? Just go steamroll them. You'll be fine. 	Kind warning that he might say to anybody. Admiring the player's endurance
 	 	 	I can tell you're always on the lookout for anything. You've got those sharp eyes, and well... you're going to need them here. Good luck out there. 	Kind warning that he might say to anybody. Admiring the player's perception
 	 	 	I feel like you're staring into my soul here, friend. Go... do what you need to do, all right? 	Kind warning that he might say to anybody. Admiring the player's perception
 	 	 	Trust me, as one charming person to another, you might want to bring a friend along for this one. Just an idea. Good luck. 	Kind warning that he might say to anybody. Admiring the player's charisma
 	 	 	I admire your confidence, you know that? But truly, I don't think you have anything to worry about. 	Kind warning that he might say to anybody. Admiring the player's charisma
 	 	 	I'm sure you can figure this one out. You'll be fine. 	Kind warning that he might say to anybody. Admiring the player's intelligence
 	 	 	I bet you've worked out some intricate plan for dealing with this already. Good luck out there, you don't even need it though. 	Kind warning that he might say to anybody. Admiring the player's intelligence
 	 	 	No matter what you do, you're going to do it with more style and grace than I would, I'm sure. Good luck out there. 	Kind warning that he might say to anybody. Admiring the player's agility
 	 	 	You're just going to charge in there and hope for the best, right? I admire that kind of luck-based strategy. Good luck, my friend. 	Kind warning that he might say to anybody. Admiring the player's luck
 	 	 	Nothing really stands much of a chance against you, you know that? 	Kind warning that he might say to anybody. Admiring the player's luck
 	 	 	Just watch yourself out there, okay? I wouldn't want anything to happen to you. 	Warning to somebody he's romantic with
 	 	 	Don't keep me waiting too long, or else I might start to get lonely, you know? 	Said to a romantic partner
 	 	 	Not sure what I'd do if you didn't make it back, so stay safe... okay? 	said to romantic partner
 	 	 	Good luck out there, boss. I'll be here, holding down the fort. 	Warning to somebody he's best friends with
 	 	 	I have no doubt you can handle this, but good luck out there all the same. 	Warning to somebody he's best friends with
 	 	 	You got this, friend. I don't even have to worry about you, you know? 	Impressed by the player's skill
 	 	 	You'll be fine. You've done this all before, and look at you. Basically a professional... whatever this is. Go on now. 	Jokingly
 	 	 	This definitely isn't your first rodeo, is it? You'll be fine. 	Said to a high level player
 	 	 	You've done this sort of work before -- hit hard, hit fast, get out. It's show time. 	Said with confidence
 	 	 	I know you've survived a lot. What's one more thing, eh? 	Building confidence
 	 	 	That's enough from me. You know what you need to know now. Good luck out there. 	Said to a player who's reasonable competent
 	 	 	Don't forget to eat a healthy meal before you head out. Eat something nutritious like, I dunno, pure sugar or beer or something. Good luck out there. 	Jokingly
 	 	 	Pack your bag with some medical supplies, eat a good meal, you'll be fine. I'm basically not worried about you. 	He's worried.
 	 	 	I'll get you anything you want, all you have to do is ask. 	you're in love with the Player
 	 	 	Sure, what can I get you? 	
 	 	 	Yeah, sure... is something wrong? 	
 	 	 	Funny you should bring it up, because there's something I wanted to talk to you about. 	about to say a huge thank you to player
 	 	 	Not sure what there is to talk about, but I'll listen. 	more curious than rude
 	 	 	Okay. Did you want to talk about anything else? 	
 	 	 	Now that things are straight between us, was there anything else you wanted to talk about? 	
 	 	 	Oh, okay. What did you want to talk about? 	
 	 	 	That's actually kind of a relief. I thought the whole "breakup" thing was because of something I said. 	
 	 	 	You said that this crap wasn't working out, and I agreed. Why are you changing your mind? 	
 	 	 	You changed your mind again? Okay, I'm listening. 	
 	 	 	You broke it off, and now you want me back? Why? 	
 	 	 	Scared? Believe me, if I ever meant to scare you, you'd be frickin' terrified. 	with a wink
 	 	 	I'd be thrilled if you wanted to get things going between us again, but make no mistake, I'm still charging for drinks. 	in a flirty, fun way, not mean
 	 	 	If you want to get back together, I'm willing to forget about the past and give it another go. 	in a flirty, fun way, not mean
 	 	 	Honestly, I'm glad you said something... it kind of hurt when you left me hanging like that. I'm happy you changed your mind. 	in a flirty, fun way, not mean
 	 	 	Well, I know what "sorry" means... the other word, not so much. I'll just assume you're telling me that this is all your fault. 	joking a bit here
 	 	 	Hey, uh... before you take off, I have one last thing to say. 	about to broach a huge compliment, hard for you
 	 	 	Yeah, sure. 	
 	 	 	No, never. The way I lived my life... even before I was chem-blasted out of my mind, there was never any time. 	regret
 	 	 	Anytime someone tried to get close, I assumed they were trying to steal something from me, so I pushed them away. 	
 	 	 	Given the way things are now, thinking that way was pretty stupid, eh? 	trying to look on the bright side
 	 	 	Okay, okay. Whew. I was getting worried there for a minute. Well, I mean, you can do what you want to do if you're not cool with... us anymore. 	you're still kind of stammering through this, you don't feel comfortable with relationship stuff
 	 	 	Uh, anyway, I'm glad to hear you're cool with everything... was there, um... anything else you wanted to talk to me about? 	
 	 	 	Look, I'm a no-strings-attached kind of guy, right? You can do whatever you want. 	it bothers you a bit, but you always play the tough guy
 	 	 	I'm not exactly sure what I did to piss you off, but if that's the way you want to play it, that's fine by me. 	it bothers you a bit, but you always play the tough guy
 	 	 	A few years ago, I'd probably just laugh in your damn face... and maybe put a bullet into you for messing with me. 	you're joking a bit at the end, so with a wink... though the breakup hurts a bit
 	 	 	I'm not sure where this all went wrong, but I'm not going to let it keep me up at night. 	it bothers you a bit, but you always play the tough guy
 	 	 	I was kind of stupid to assume this would last anyway. Everything around me tends to fall away. Maybe it's just bad luck, I don't know. 	self-loathing a bit here
 	 	 	If this went downhill, I assume it's because of me... so there's no hard feelings, okay? 	it bothers you a bit, but trying to end it nicely - a little bit of sadness in there
 	 	 	Well, that didn't last long. 	
 	 	 	Okay, fine. Suit yourself. 	
 	 	 	Oh! Well... okay. I guess. 	totally caught by surprise here
 	 	 	I mean, I've never really had someone who cared about me before, so this is all new to me... uh, not a great start there. Uh... 	
 	 	 	I mean, yeah. It's great. I'm happy, you're happy... wait... are you trying to tell me something? 	
 	 	 	Unfortunately, it won't be. 	
 	 	 	Yeah, it's cool. Ronny said she'll kick his butt out of her camp the moment Frankie clears his head. 	
 	 	 	Helping her out has really paid off. Thanks again for convincing her to back our plays. 	
 	 	 	Well, good thing is, she hadn't been kidnapped by the Blood Eagles like I'd suspected. She had actually gone into hiding. 	
 	 	 	I sent her word that Frankie's okay. Can't exactly let her visit Ronny's camp... it isn't safe for someone not in the gang. 	
 	 	 	Once he's back on his feet, I'm sure he'll return to visit her at Foundation. 	
 	 	 	Well, good thing is, she hadn't been kidnapped by the Blood Eagles like I'd suspected. She had actually gone into hiding. 	
 	 	 	I sent her word about Frankie's death... and I kicked a few caps her way to try and smooth things over. 	
 	 	 	Don't look at me like that. I might have been a raider for years, but I'm not a heartless asshole. 	
 	 	 	Yeah, and I had it all wrong at the beginning. Turns out Frankie had been gone longer from Foundation than I was led to believe. 	
 	 	 	And, he actually joined the Eagles voluntarily. Of course, he did it to follow in my footsteps... so, I guess that one's on me. 	still angry at yourself about this
 	 	 	As he started taking the Buffout overdoses and buying into the Eagles' bullshit, it blew his mind and he started climbing the ranks. 	
 	 	 	After the previous Claw got wiped out, and it was clear Frankie was one of the craziest in the gang at the time, he filled the spot. 	
 	 	 	I talked to Ronny, and she said she's going to handle everything... like making sure all that Buffout crap is out of his system. 	
 	 	 	Poor kid. It's going to be a slow road to recovery. 	
 	 	 	I talked to Ronny, and she's taken care of everything... you know, burying him and all that. I... just couldn't deal with it. 	
 	 	 	Understood. Watch yourself out there. 	
 	 	 	Sounds good. Now go make us some caps. 	with a wink
 	 	 	All right, be seeing you later. 	
 	 	 	Fine, fine. Bar's still well-stocked if you change your mind. 	
 	 	 	No problem, friend. Bar's always open for ya. 	
 	 	 	I'll be right here when you get back. 	In love with Player - not flirty, just warmer than normal
 	 	 	If you need anything, anything at all... I'll be right here. 	In love with Player - not flirty, just warmer than normal
 	 	 	Okay, just be careful. I can't afford to lose you right now. 	In love with Player - not flirty, just warmer than normal
 	 	 	I'd be lying if I said I wasn't going to miss ya. Hurry back soon. 	In love with Player - not flirty, just warmer than normal
 	 	 	I'm going to be thinking about you the entire time you're gone. Stay safe. 	In love with Player - not flirty, just warmer than normal
 	 	 	Is that all you've got? 	Taunting an enemy, mocking, confident
 	 	 	You have no idea what you're up against. 	Taunting an enemy, confident, a little ominous
 	 	 	I'm getting bored here. 	Taunting an enemy, mocking, confident
 	 	 	That the best you can do? 	Taunting an enemy, mocking, confident
 	 	 	This shouldn't take long. 	Taunting an enemy, mocking, confident
 	 	 	Ow! Okay, I felt that. 	Wincing in pain, hit by an attack.
 	 	 	Argh! 	Wincing in pain, hit by an attack.
 	 	 	Oof! You'll pay for that. 	Wincing in pain, hit by an attack.
 	 	 	Damn it! That hurt! 	Wincing in pain, hit by an attack.
 	 	 	Augh! Okay, now I'm pissed! 	Wincing in pain, hit by an attack.
 	 	 	Son of a... 	Wounded, knocked down, a mix of pain and frustration
 	 	 	Argh! Need help here. 	Wounded, knocked down, a mix of pain and frustration
 	 	 	Damn! Got me... 	Wounded, knocked down, a mix of pain and frustration
 	 	 	Can't... keep this up... 	Wounded, knocked down, a mix of pain and frustration
 	 	 	Not... like this... 	Wounded, knocked down, a mix of pain and frustration
 	 	 	Guess that's the end of that. 	Confident. A battle just ended, the field is clear of enemies.
 	 	 	Well that was fun. 	Confident. A battle just ended, the field is clear of enemies.
 	 	 	Guess we live to fight another day. 	Confident. A battle just ended, the field is clear of enemies.
 	 	 	Never a dull moment. 	Confident. A battle just ended, the field is clear of enemies.
 	 	 	Now to let the adrenaline wear off... 	Confident. A battle just ended, the field is clear of enemies.
 	 	 	You picked a fight with the wrong ex-raider. 	Energetic. Spotting an enemy and engaging.
 	 	 	Oh really? You want some of this? 	Energetic. Spotting an enemy and engaging.
 	 	 	It's on! 	Energetic. Spotting an enemy and engaging.
 	 	 	I'm going to enjoy this. 	Energetic. Spotting an enemy and engaging.
 	 	 	Light 'em up! 	Energetic. Spotting an enemy and engaging.
 	 	 	I'll be honest, I've never been close... not in the way you're talking about... with anyone before. It's kind of new to me. 	This actually makes you a little sad
 	 	 	Wait... we are talking about what I think you're talking about, right? Maybe I'll just stop talking before I say something stupider. 	the emotion stuff throws you off kilter a bit - so trying to change subject
 	 	 	Thank you... I think I really needed to hear that. If you weren't here, I don't know what I'd do. 	you genuinely appreciate this
 	 	 	As much as I appreciate the compliment, I think that would be the wrong move. Ronny deserves to take Edwin's place. 	appreciative, but pragmatic
 	 	 	I...uh, yeah. Thanks? 	you were complimented - it's a bit embarrassing, you rarely get to hear that, it throws you off
 	 	 	Sage is harmless and he's more useful than you'd expect. Give him time... he'll grow on you. 	
 	 	 	They're sent to The Cave for... processing. 	
 	 	 	Here, I got this holotape off of one of the Eagles a while back. It's sickening how little they value a human life. Even for a raider.
