 	 	 	I'll get my recruitment pitch ready. 	
 	 	 	So long, then. 	
 	 	 	About me? Well, I guess I have some little bit to share. 	
 	 	 	I'll share what little I know. 	
 	 	 	We're a group of people who have banded together to help the helpless. We cure the sick and protect the defenseless as best we can. 	
 	 	 	The first Responders were founded by paramedics, fire fighters, police officers, and others who survived the Great War and continued to do their original jobs.	
 	 	 	We have taken up their banner and keep their ideals alive. 	
 	 	 	Well, I was dispatched here as a kind of 'peace keeper,' but really we just want to help in whatever way we can. 	
 	 	 	All the people moving into the area has increased the chances of conflict. 	
 	 	 	We want to limit that, and to make this mostly-pristine wilderness safer for settlement in general. 	
 	 	 	Well, the unfortunate answer to that questions is, "I don't know." 	
 	 	 	I had a father and a sister. My mother died when I was young. 	
 	 	 	We were separated, you see, when we left our home for Appalachia. I don't know if they're alive or dead. 	
 	 	 	Though I would dearly love to find out. 	
 	 	 	I sincerely hope so. Thank you for sayin'. 	
 	 	 	Very kind of you. So will I. 	
 	 	 	In a manner of speaking. A small, small town called Knight Ridge, on the southern border with old Virginia proper. 	
 	 	 	We survived the Bombs, almost unscathed if you can believe it. Lived in peace for most of my life. 	
 	 	 	It was only with the rush of folks flooding in, searching for that treasure of theirs, that our lives were upended. 	
 	 	 	Knight Ridge was raided, I fled, and was swept along to the Responders' Refuge, where I took up my present vocation. 	
 	 	 	According to the official record, I'm what they've termed a 'constable.' That's a kind of officer of the peace, if you aren't familiar. 	
 	 	 	Of course, putting a badge on a man does not automatically suit him to that title, so I tend not to emphasize it. 	
 	 	 	I manage this new outpost of ours. 	
 	 	 	I try to keep the nastier critters at bay, and cross my fingers that we can keep the other factions from goin' to war with one another. 	
 	 	 	Another topic it is, then. 	
 	 	 	Remarkably peaceable, considering the broader circumstances. Apocalypse, and all. 	
 	 	 	We hunted our own food, knitted our own clothes... We were isolated, but life went on much as it had. 	
 	 	 	When the raiders came and drove us into the real 'Wasteland,' I came to realize how much I'd taken my life for granted. 	
 	 	 	Seemed only natural to join up with the Responders and work toward building a world like we used to have. 	
 	 	 	Don't be. You had no way of knowin'. 	
 	 	 	And I've heard more tragic tales, besides. 	
 	 	 	I am happy to oblige. 	
 	 	 	While the original organization was headquartered at Morgantown Airport. 	
 	 	 	The destruction of that place made it necessary for us to re-establish ourselves at a new location. 	
 	 	 	Now we are based at the Refuge, a safe harbor for any soul, built inside the old Whitespring Resort. 	
 	 	 	I suggest you take some time to visit if you're ever in that area. It is a sight to behold. 	
 	 	 	The Raiders, based in The Crater to the north, are a rowdy bunch who will do whatever it takes to survive. 	
 	 	 	They see themselves as returning to their homeland, and want to kick out other 'intruders.' 	
 	 	 	The Brotherhood of Steel came from afar and set up at Fort Atlas in the northeast. 	
 	 	 	They are a militant bunch of ex-soldiers who want to re-establish the old order. 	
 	 	 	The Settlers are city slickers, but they have the right idea. I get along fine with them and Blue Ridge. 	
 	 	 	They help everyone get more of what they need, albeit for a price. 	
 	 	 	I'm more nervous around the Raiders and the Brotherhood. Neither of their methods sit right with me. But I'll work with who I can. 	
 	 	 	The Blue Ridge Caravan Company are merchants and traders who ply their wares up and down the Blue Ridge Mountains. 	
 	 	 	They've set up a base camp around the Big Bend Tunnel system to the southeast. 	
 	 	 	We Responders try to keep an open mind. The doors of the Refuge are open to anyone who comes knockin' in need of help. 	
 	 	 	In that sense, we're a neutral body. Heck, that's one reason we've set up camp in this place. 	
 	 	 	As a 'friend to all,' we want to do our best to keep the other factions from clawin' at each other's throats. 	
 	 	 	Perfectly reasonable. What would you like to talk about? 	
 	 	 	It's only recently that we've all built up a presence in this area. 	
 	 	 	Aside from the Responders, there are the Settlers of Foundation, the Crater Raiders, the Brotherhood of Steel, and the Blue Ridge Caravan Company. 	
 	 	 	Outside of all them, you'll run into plenty of less savory folk in the Wasteland. The Blood Eagles are even crazier than the Raiders. 	
 	 	 	Same goes for the Cult of the Mothman, for the most part, though we are trying to learn more about this group ourselves. 	
 	 	 	The Settlers have built up a thriving blue collar community at Foundation, to the southeast. 	
 	 	 	They're using the knowledge of the old world to rebuild things in the traditional sense. 	
 	 	 	No jobs for you today. Somethin' else you want to talk about? 	
 	 	 	Here to shoot the breeze? 	
 	 	 	How's about we have a little conversation? 	
 	 	 	Glad to see you. As always. 	
 	 	 	I guess I can put my respondin' on hold for you a minute. 	
 	 	 	I don't suppose you're the helper type? 	
 	 	 	Any chance I could get you to volunteer for a job? 	
 	 	 	You're back! Looking for more work? 	
 	 	 	Glad to see you again. How about another job?

 	 	 	Hello there, stranger. Where did you come amblin' in from? 	
 	 	 	So have you reconsidered my offer? Want to do a little work for the Responders? Not for free, mind you. 	
 	 	 	Ah, back for another job? 	
 	 	 	So good to see you again! 	
 	 	 	You've returned! I'm so grateful! 	
 	 	 	Ah, you've returned! 	
 	 	 	One of those 'vault dwellers,' are you? I've heard tell of your kind. 	
 	 	 	Solved a lot of problems and caused a lot of problems, from what I hear... 	
 	 	 	You wouldn't happen to be one of the problem solvin' kind, would you? I could use one of those right about now. 	
 	 	 	The big city, you say? Or, what's left of it. 	
 	 	 	Dangerous place, that. You must be pretty capable to come all this way. 	
 	 	 	Alright, well I won't press you on it. Not my place to poke and prod. 	
 	 	 	I'm an outsider myself, in a manner of speaking, and it's making my job a tad difficult. 	
 	 	 	I appreciate your help. Stay safe out there. 	
 	 	 	Anything that could be a threat to new settlement. I'll leave that up to your discretion. 	
 	 	 	Oh, excuse me, let me introduce myself. 	
 	 	 	Name's Lane Platte, I'm with the Responders. We're a band of self-titled do-gooders 'round these parts. 	
 	 	 	Appalachia's fillin' up fast, and we're tryin' to keep everyone hale and healthy and off each other's throats. 	
 	 	 	You don't say! Then you won't be averse to helping out, will you? 	
 	 	 	I did say that you would be duly compensated. That much is only fair. 	
 	 	 	The Settlers of Foundation. They're looking to move in and start building some real towns in the area. 	
 	 	 	I'd like to stay on good terms with them. We share a common goal of rebuilding Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	The Raiders, from up in The Crater. They're pushing into the region, and I don't want to be on their bad side. 	
 	 	 	Call it appeasement, but I'll do anything I can do to keep them from goin' to war with our settlement. 	
 	 	 	The Brotherhood of Steel, from up Fort Atlas way. They have an observation post nearby, researchin' some crashed Vertibirds. 	
 	 	 	They could be powerful allies if we stay on good terms. 	
 	 	 	The Blue Ridge Caravan Company, from Big Bend. They set up a little camp for conducting business in the area. 	
 	 	 	We use the supplies they sell, and it never hurts to show a little gratitude. 	
 	 	 	Now, there's a lot goin' on in this neck of the woods, more than I can tackle myself. 	
 	 	 	You've got ferocious beasts roamin' the forest, a creepy cult movin' into the caves, and all manner of people about ready to go to war with one another.	
 	 	 	All that is to say, I could use a hand, and I'd be willin' to pay you for yours. What do you think? 	
 	 	 	That's to be expected, I suppose. Well, the offer stands... Come on back if you want to take me up on it. 	
 	 	 	Now, what business do I have for you today... 	
 	 	 	Here's the job for today... 	
 	 	 	What do I have for you today... 	
 	 	 	Let's see what's going on today... 	
 	 	 	We aren't the only ones moving into the forest. We've got some new neighbors, and I would like to keep on their good side. 	
 	 	 	We have some supplies -- bandages, a little food -- that you can whip up into a little care package for them. 	
 	 	 	Do that for me and you'll earn your reward. 	
 	 	 	Your care package went over well last time. Think you could deliver another? 	
 	 	 	Our new neighbors accepted the last care package with open arms. How about you make another for me? 	
 	 	 	Feel like being my courier again today? 	
 	 	 	Thank you. See that it's delivered safely. 	
 	 	 	Why that is just terrific! Thank you a thousand times over! 	
 	 	 	I like to think so. It gives me hope that we can one day right all the wrongs in this world. 	
 	 	 	Well isn't that a darn shame? The world could use more do-gooders by my estimation. 	
 	 	 	Anything we can. 	
 	 	 	Gleaning any information about the cult's rituals, organization, or beliefs could lead us to ways to stop their spread and limit their influence. 	
 	 	 	Be careful. The Cult of the Mothman is dangerous. They'll no doubt protect those artifacts with their lives. 	
 	 	 	We've had reports that a dangerous cult - the Cult of the Mothman - has moved into a cave system nearby. 	
 	 	 	They're part of a larger organization that extends all throughout Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	Learning more about them will help us combat their spread. I'd like you to go into those caves and gather some of their ritual artifacts for study. 	
 	 	 	You'll earn a fine commission for returning them to me. 	
 	 	 	There's still more to learn from the Cult of the Mothman. Care to retrieve more artifacts for me? 	
 	 	 	Our research on the cult is not complete. How about gathering more artifacts? 	
 	 	 	The artifacts you retrieved gave us valuable information on the cult. What say you go and grab some more? 	
 	 	 	The forest is a dangerous place. Not compared to other regions, mind you, but let's not lose sight of the facts. 	
 	 	 	I'd like you to make it a bit safer for new settlement. Go on out there and clear out some of the aggressive fauna, if you will. 	
 	 	 	After that, I will happily compensate you. 	
 	 	 	Still a load of baddies out there in the forest. Why don't you clear more out for me? 	
 	 	 	How about you cull the herd of nasty critters a bit more? 	
 	 	 	So, how you feel about clearing more baddies out of the forest? 	
 	 	 	The forest is a dangerous place. Not compared to other regions, mind you, but let's not lose sight of the facts. 	
 	 	 	To make it safer for new settlement, we've been clearin' out dangerous critters and usin' the meat to feed people in need. 	
 	 	 	If you could go retrieve the meat from our traps, I will happily compensate you. 	
 	 	 	Our food stores could use refreshin', if you can go harvest the traps again. 	
 	 	 	How about you gather more food from our traps? 	
 	 	 	So, how you feel about gatherin' more food from our traps? 	
 	 	 	The original organization met with an unfortunate fate, it's true. We are a group dedicated to upholding its mission. 	
 	 	 	Those materials should be around here somewhere. We're a bit disorganized, I know... I apologize for that. 	
 	 	 	You should find everything you need for that care package at our little abode here. 	
 	 	 	Care package looks good. All that's left to do is make the delivery! 	
 	 	 	Be careful searching for those artifacts. The cult won't stand by while you take them. 	
 	 	 	The cult is holed up in a cave to the west. You can look for those artifacts there. 	
 	 	 	Happy huntin'. 	
 	 	 	Baddies won't stand a chance with you on the job. 	
 	 	 	Good luck harvestin' those traps. 	
 	 	 	Hope no baddies get in your way out there. 	
 	 	 	So these are the artifacts? Fascinating. Thank you, enjoy your reward. 	
 	 	 	Ah, the artifacts! I can't wait to take a look at these! 	
 	 	 	And you have the artifacts in tow! Thank you kindly for them. 	
 	 	 	More Mothman artifacts? Much appreciated. 	
 	 	 	On behalf of the Responders, I can't thank you enough. You've helped us make progress toward a more peaceful world. 	
 	 	 	I sure wish I could say that's all the help I needed, but the work never ends. 	
 	 	 	If you're in the neighborhood again some time, I will always welcome more of your help. 	
 	 	 	In the meantime, though, here is your payment. Have a good day, now. 	
 	 	 	These artifacts should be a big help, I can't wait to examine them! 	
 	 	 	So you've cleared some of the danger from the forest? Just what I wanted to hear! 	
 	 	 	You delivered the package successfully? Well done. 	
 	 	 	Alright, well I won't press you on it. Not my place to poke and prod. 	
 	 	 	I'm an outsider myself, in a manner of speaking, and it's making my job a tad difficult. 	
 	 	 	You're back! 	
 	 	 	You've recovered the meat from our traps? Just what I wanted to hear! 	
 	 	 	If our trappers have done their jobs right, the coast should be clear, but I wouldn't rule it out. 	
 	 	 	I can smell that meat on you! We'd... better get that cooked before it goes bad. Thank you! 	
 	 	 	You've returned with fresh game! Enjoy your reward. 	
 	 	 	You're back with that meat! Hope it wasn't too much trouble. 	
 	 	 	Looks like meat's on the menu for tonight. Good work! 	
 	 	 	Food delivery? For us? I'll happily take it. Thank you very much!
