 	 	 	Does killing feral ghouls go against the Hippocratic Oath...? There's a thinker... 	Thinking to himself. Emphasis on THERE'S
 	 	 	Note to self, look for more empty syringes... and something to sterilize them with. 	Thinking to himself, mumbling to self a bit
 	 	 	Let's see ... can take that route north from the patient in Foundation... quick stop there, and... 	Thinking to himself, mumbling a lot
 	 	 	(whistle) 	Just a tune that makes him happy
 	 	 	Apple a day keeps the Doctor away my ass. That's just a lie spread by orchard lobbyists. 	Commenting under his breath, chuckling a bit
 	 	 	Note to self... look for a renewable resource for making gauze... Dried Mole Rat hide? 	Thinking to himself
 	 	 	Shoes are starting to get holes in 'em... Dammit. 	Thinking to himself
 	 	 	Gotta remember to keep an eye out for more yard sticks... Make for great splints. 	Thinking to himself, a bit mumbling
 	 	 	People need to think twice about venturing into the Mire. Pretty much guaranteed to have the smallest scratch turn into a serious infection out there. 	Complaining to himself under his breath
 	 	 	Just a little more rest... Then on to the next one. 	Thinking to himself, feeling beat
 	 	 	Need to remember to bring a gas mask next time I stop in the Ash Heap... 	Thinking to himself, mumbling a bit
 	 	 	Wonder if I can find any flavored vitamins for the kids... and certain Initiates. 	Thinking to himself. Irritation at childish adults in the second part of the line.
 	 	 	Note to self... newly emerged Vault Dwellers likely have extremely poor immune systems. Treat with care. 	Thinking to himself
 	 	 	It would be great if I can find some heirloom seeds for broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Kids these days need more greens to complain about. 	Thinking to himself, joking a bit
 	 	 	Note to self... Bloodleaf appears to have restorative properties, but... any long-term side effects? Heh... long-term... that's wishful thinking, Solomon.	Thinking to himself. A resigned chuckle, as it's kind of depressing
 	 	 	(wince) Damn... paper cut. 	Hushed, but ouch
 	 	 	I think I can make a few more stops before re-supplying at Atlas... 	Thinking to himself
 	 	 	Ad Victoriam this... The Codex that... Ya' know, Shin, sometimes people just want to chat. 	Thinking to himself, grumbling
 	 	 	Rumor has it that Atlas was some kind of experiment to control the weather... I can't even imagine what that could have done for us. 	Thinking to himself, a bit of disbelief at the idea, but genuine sentiment about how it could help
 	 	 	Never thought I'd need to deal with giving an injection to someone with scales. Live and learn, I guess. 	Thinking to himself, embracing the absurdity
 	 	 	Need to remember to scavenge supplies from that hospital on the next trip... 	Thinking to himself, mumbling
 	 	 	Reminder: talk to Rahmani about a clinic in Atlas. 	Thinking to himself, mumbling
 	 	 	"That's not a thermometer, it's my finger!" (chuckle) Ah... Valdez... cracks me up every time. 	Thinking to himself, lost in a memory
 	 	 	Need to secure a supply chain in the South East. Should talk to those Blue Ridge guys over at Big Bend... 	Thinking to himself, mumbling
 	 	 	Thank you! This will give me the chance to help a lot of people. I really appreciate it. 	Genuinely thankful
 	 	 	Okay. Anything else you need looked at? 	Friendly
 	 	 	Sure thing. 	Friendly
 	 	 	You seem fine to me. Drink more water, try and get a good night's sleep. 	Friendly but dismissive
 	 	 	Hey there. 	Passing by
 	 	 	Ad Victoriam. 	Casual, like a greeting, friendly
 	 	 	How's the Wasteland treating you? 	Saying in passing, friendly
 	 	 	Feeling alright? 	Friendly, rhetorical, player is fine
 	 	 	Hey. 	Saying in passing, friendly
 	 	 	Ouch, that looks painful. Lemme guess: "You shoulda seen the other guy?" Well, I can patch you up, if you want. 	Joking around, but the player is injured. Laugh before "Well,"
 	 	 	Listen, it's your floors that you're bleeding all over, but... I'd be happy to help if you need it. 	Joking tone, but player is injured
 	 	 	I'm not a doctor or anything, but I don't think you should be bleeding that much. 	Facetious
 	 	 	Wait, I am a doctor, and you should definitely NOT be bleeding that much. Need help? 	A little more stern
 	 	 	Thanks again for letting me stick around. 	Friendly
 	 	 	Just here for a bit, I'll stay out of your hair. 	Saying in passing, friendly
 	 	 	Give me a holler if you need my services. 	Saying in passing, friendly
 	 	 	Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. 	Saying in passing, friendly
 	 	 	If it isn't my favorite patient. 	Casual, he doesn't think that highly of you, honestly, just being friendly
 	 	 	You're looking a little pale. Need some treatment? 	Concerned
 	 	 	That... doesn't look healthy. Why don't I take a look at you? 	Concerned
 	 	 	Flushed skin, runny nose... I think you're sick, friend. 	Trying to be good humored
 	 	 	I think you might have come down with something. I can take a look, but if not, remember: "vampire cough." 	Trying to be good humored
 	 	 	I could see you glowing on your way here. I think you may have a few too many Rads in you. 	Joking around, but the player is highly radiated
 	 	 	Doing okay there? You're looking a little, uh... radioactive. 	Joking around, but the player is highly radiated
 	 	 	I think I'm catching Rads just being near you. How about we fix you up? 	Joking around, but the player is highly radiated
 	 	 	You're nuclear enough to power this whole CAMP. Want me to flush out a few Rads? 	Joking around, but the player is highly radiated
 	 	 	Ooh, yikes, I think you're going to need a couple stitches for that one. Want to be treated? 	Joking tone, but player is injured
 	 	 	Hey there. You have a second? I was hoping to talk to you about something. 	Friendly, trustworthy. He is not pulling a fast one, he thinks what he's going to offer the player is in their best interests.
 	 	 	Would you mind if I tried out a few experimental Stimpak mixes on you, I... eh, never mind. So, did you need something? 	Initially kind of lost in thought, then getting back to friendly
 	 	 	It's good to have a place to rest for a bit. Long trips on the road really take their toll. 	Friendly
 	 	 	(shudder) Sorry, I just reminded myself of toll roads. 	Mostly joking
 	 	 	Feeling light headed? Think you've got the chills? Arm hanging on by a thread? Well, I can help with most of that. 	Joking around
 	 	 	The Brotherhood can be a little intense to be around all day. Enjoying the solitude out here keeps me balanced. 	Genuine appreciation
 	 	 	Ad Victoriam. How can I be of assistance? 	The player is also a member, so this is professional
 	 	 	I'd remind you to wash your hands, but, uh... you're likely to catch something worse from sinks these days. 	Sort of joking around, but he's not lying either
 	 	 	The doctor... is in. 	Flirty
 	 	 	Sorry. 	Sorry not sorry
 	 	 	Here to restock, or just a check-up? A healthy dose of conversation is nice, too. 	Friendly
 	 	 	Before you ask, no, I don't have any lollipops. 	Friendly, but clearly he's heard the joke one too many times
 	 	 	Treating a sick patient is already immensely challenging, but these mutations amplify every issue. 	Seems genuinely concerned, but not too dark tone
 	 	 	How do I treat a sprained goat leg? Is it supposed to bend that way? 	Flabbergasted. Embracing the absurdity of the situation, less dark then previous line
 	 	 	Sorry, did you need me for something? 	Friendly, back to reality
 	 	 	I can't even begin to describe how rewarding it is to help those in need, but... 	Sentimental, but he's about to switch into a joke, so not too dark
 	 	 	I feel like the war really robbed me of the chance to leave the office early and play golf. 	Joking, cheeky
 	 	 	"Paging Doctor Hardy," eh? Well, I don't have a medical degree, so, that joke falls flat. 	Being cheeky
 	 	 	Ahem... How can I help? 	Awkward
 	 	 	The views near Atlas are breathtaking. 	Remembering in awe
 	 	 	Not that I don't like this spot you picked out here, I mean. This... this is nice too. 	Realizing he might have offended you, sorry
 	 	 	Alright. Did you want to talk about something else? 	Friendly
 	 	 	Of course. What else did you want to know? 	Friendly
 	 	 	Doesn't make much of a difference to me, to be honest. 	Trying to make light of an insult
 	 	 	But, next time you're bleeding out the ears from some swamp fungus... I just might charge extra. 	Being cheeky
 	 	 	Thanks for listening. 	Genuine
 	 	 	But my medic survived, I flew out to the Capital to get a few honors pinned on my chest, and then my CO pushed for me to be enrolled into OCS. 	Matter of fact, definitely doesn't want to sound heroic
 	 	 	Spent a few years on the track to an M.D. when a certain apocalyptic occurrence brought it to a premature end. 	Turning friendly again
 	 	 	Well, I wouldn't go that far. Having two doctors as parents will teach you a few of the basics. 	Trying to ground the story into reality a little more.
 	 	 	It's not like I performed open heart surgery on the spot. A piece of shrapnel hit her in the thigh. Was causing heavy blood loss. 	Matter of fact
 	 	 	I don't see myself that way. Nothing so grand. 	Doesn't really want to see himself as someone special
 	 	 	First time in active combat, me and a few guys from my unit got separated from the group... 	Going from friendly to a darker tone
 	 	 	Artillery fire brought a whole cliff side down between us and our base. 	Straightforward
 	 	 	About twenty minutes later, when I found myself stitching up our medic, the calling finally caught up to me. 	Matter of fact. "The calling" highlighted as being special
 	 	 	Maybe it was in my blood, maybe saving lives just felt more rewarding than taking them, but that experience changed things for me. 	Sentimental
 	 	 	Fine by me. 	Friendly
 	 	 	Well, hold on, that's not the whole story. 	Laughter at the beginning
 	 	 	Well... Not the way I would have guessed. 	Friendly
 	 	 	Would you look at the time? I've got a very, uh, sick patient. 	Joking around
 	 	 	Going to need to review these charts here for a few hours. Maybe the next day or two. 	Joking around
 	 	 	I don't think breaking doctor-patient confidentiality is in my best interest. But you should talk to them yourself. 	Friendly, but not joking around
 	 	 	I couldn't tell you much about the members back in California, but the folk that came over with Paladin Rahmani are good people. 	Genuine
 	 	 	I tell ya, they've got some stories. 	Chuckle to self a bit
 	 	 	Under that armor, they're just normal people like you or me. They've got aspirations and anxieties. 	Serious, but lighter tone
 	 	 	They worry if they're doing enough, if they're doing too much, or if they should be doing anything at all. 	Sympathetic
 	 	 	Their determination might seem steel-clad -- uh, pardon the pun -- but they are very human at heart. 	Light tone, jokey in the middle
 	 	 	Well, if you're asking if I was able to get a piece of paper and a title before the world turned sideways? Nuh-uh. 	Friendly in tone, but serious about the subject
 	 	 	Time wasn't on my side there. 	Friendly still.
 	 	 	But the world has changed a lot since then, and you could fill a library with the sort of nonsense ailments that our wonderful Wasteland can produce. 	Getting more serious
 	 	 	So am I a "Dr.?" No. But am I a doctor? You better believe it. 	Dead serious about this. "am I doctor? No. But am I a DOCTOR? You better believe it"
 	 	 	Oh? Like what? 	Friendly
 	 	 	I guess it's a side effect to having a good bedside manner. 	Cheeky
 	 	 	Patients tend to open up to me... They just need someone to talk to. 	Getting a little more serious. Maybe remembering some tough things he heard.
 	 	 	From rookies to top brass, everyone just needs a chance to be vulnerable. 	Serious
 	 	 	Since even the most routine check-ups can leave you buck-naked save for a flimsy gown, cultivating vulnerability is already my forte. 	Turning into a joke now
 	 	 	Heh, tell me about it. My parents helped run the chapel at their hospital. 	Reminiscent
 	 	 	The runner-up for my name was Ichabod, so... I think I got off pretty lucky with Solomon. 	Feeling sentimental, but still joking around a bit
 	 	 	I like it, though. Makes me feel wise. Maybe a little wiser than I actually am. 	Sentimental, but jokey
 	 	 	Truth is, I come from a long, long line of doctors... but growing up, it never stuck. Lost interest in school, couldn't make the grades. 	A bit sentimental, but not too heavy
 	 	 	The Army felt like a place where I could make a difference, so I enlisted right out of high school. 	Determined
 	 	 	My family goes back generations in Detroit, but my path has led me all over. I can thank the Army for that one. 	Straight forward, not really too sentimental
 	 	 	When the bombs hit, I was about a year from getting my M.D. at a university well away from home. 	Again, not really getting sentimental, just stating the facts
 	 	 	I traveled all around after that. Before bumping into Paladin Rahmani's group, that is. 	Warming up a bit, he likes this part of the story
 	 	 	Open wide, and take a big gulp. 	
 	 	 	Alright. You should start feeling better soon. Anything else you wanted looked at? 	
 	 	 	If you start to feel light-headed, that means it's working. 	Friendly
 	 	 	And... Great. Clean as a whistle. Well, closer to it, anyway. What else did you need? 	Friendly
 	 	 	Hold still, this might sting a little. 	Not too concerned
 	 	 	And... okay. You'll survive. Anything else? 	Friendly, dismissive
 	 	 	You mean that ingenious use of America's finest soft drink? Of course! 	Really jazzed about this
 	 	 	I haven't had the chance to thank your Overseer -- or the Vault Dweller that provided the sample -- but we owe them our lives. 	Sincere
 	 	 	That look on your face... You're not telling me... that was you? 	Coming to realize who he's talking to
 	 	 	Yikes, uh... Did you always have something leaking out of your eyes? Well... no problem, I've got a little something for everything. 	Grossed out
 	 	 	Sure, I can bring those levels down if you want. Fair warning, unless you've got some extra resilient DNA, you're likely to lose any mutations you have. 	Friendly.
 	 	 	That little scratch? I wouldn't waste your caps treating it. Come back when I can see out the other side. 	Making light of injuries -- the player isn't too bad
 	 	 	Yep, you're dying alright. I can piece you back together. I just need to charge for cost value. What do you say? 	Joking around, but the player is actually hurt
 	 	 	Okay, what's up? 	
 	 	 	Can't say. Not that I won't say. Just can't; never met any. 	Matter of fact
 	 	 	The group found me on their journey across the country. I only know what they've told me. 	Still matter of fact
 	 	 	Probably better you ask them yourself, though. I wouldn't want to misrepresent anyone's opinions. It can be a touchy subject. 	Friendly
 	 	 	She's damn smart. A little naive. Great company to have on the road, and in a pinch, a reliable assistant for surgery in the field. 	Thinks of her a bit like a daughter, or younger sister, that he adores
 	 	 	But, I feel bad for her being stuck between Paladin "Rock" and Knight "Hard Place" when the arguments get going. 	nicknames for Rahmani and Shin, cheeky
 	 	 	I'd have to look up what the prognosis is on having a "stick up your butt." 	Joking around, but still kind of annoyed sounding
 	 	 	I kid. He's got a solid head on his shoulders... and I know he's got everyone's best interests in mind. 	Kind of feels bad for that last rib on him
 	 	 	Just wish the guy would cut himself -- and us -- a little slack sometimes. 	A little annoyed again
 	 	 	Leila, er... Paladin Rahmani is a force to be reckoned with. 	They are friend, but corrects himself to keep professional. Lay-la Rah-MAH-nee
 	 	 	She thinks from her gut, and let's her heart guide her. 	Straightforward, NOT with admiration, matter-of-fact
 	 	 	Now, my medical experience could tell you that the brain is the preferred organ for decision making, but... 	Getting cheeky. Emphasis on BRAIN
 	 	 	Well, she manages... Most of the time. 	Cheeky. He likes Rahmani, despite that concern.
 	 	 	Well, that... I don't have a lot of thoughts to share on that. 	Very hesitant
 	 	 	Or at least, I'm cautious about sharing what thoughts I do have. 	With a smirk, emphasis on DO
 	 	 	I just know this: I joined this group because it was the best way I could help people across the country. 	Getting serious, determined
 	 	 	Taking away a few plasma rifles here and there? I can sleep at night if that's the cost. 	Slight hesitation, but landing on determination
 	 	 	Mutiny? Whoa, don't be putting words in my mouth. 	Chuckle, trying to laugh it off -- could get real serious if he words this poorly. "Whoa" like to a horse, NOT like "whoa dude"
 	 	 	I don't think it's that serious, but I do think the folk out here take good advantage of the autonomy that the distance provides. 	Getting a little cheeky, gossipy
 	 	 	Now, I only know what I've read. Initiates like me have never actually been a part of the California Brotherhood. We were picked up along the way. 	Slightly hushed, wants to be clear that he's not really gossiping, but the information is a little sensitive
 	 	 	But, from what I gather, there's a lot more talk about hoarding technology than helping folk. 	"hoarding technology" sounds kind of dumb to him
 	 	 	How did that holotape put it... "Help protect people from themselves?" Something like that. 	Clearly not buying into the ideals
 	 	 	I can appreciate where they're coming from, but my obligations are to help people by, well... helping people. 	Trying to remained focused on his goals
 	 	 	Any time. Just, uh... don't make me regret sharing what I did. 	Starts friendly, then second guesses himself
 	 	 	Not everyone is as keen on discussing the way things are done. 	More serious in tone
 	 	 	Knowing the people around you have your back means everything these days. 	Stern. Security isn't a joke to him.
 	 	 	I don't think a single member of the Brotherhood would disagree with me on that. Ideology aside. 	Stern.
 	 	 	What, you mean like their ideals and methods? There's some elements I can wholeheartedly get behind, that's for sure. 	Still beating around the bush a bit
 	 	 	Teamwork, structure, discipline. Just like my Army days. 	Genuine
 	 	 	There's some other elements that worry me, if I'm being honest. I'm comfortable with how this group here thinks but... 	Showing his hand a bit, but still resisting getting too serious. Emphasis on THIS, referring to the local members
 	 	 	Well, from the "literature" I've gotten my hands on, it seems like things are run a little differently in California. 	Speaking a little more cautiously
 	 	 	I think the metaphorical chain of command is getting awfully taut. If you catch my meaning. 	Still speaking cautiously, but a tad gossipy, even a little jokingly
 	 	 	Fine by me. What else did you need? 	Chuckle a bit, Relieved, didn't really want to talk Brotherhood
 	 	 	Digging up dirt on the top dogs? Who were you interested in hearing about? 	Cheeky. Chuckle after "top dogs"
 	 	 	I had spent the last two decades wandering to every burnt out settlement and smoking crater in the ground I could find. 	Starting friendly -- isn't getting too emotional about it
 	 	 	The world was in need of healing, and I had the skills to do it... But, I could only do so much alone. 	Starting lighter, but the memories start to weigh on him in the latter half
 	 	 	I'd hear about a community with some sick kids, or someone with a chronic illness... If I went to help, I would be turned away. 	Painful to recall the memory
 	 	 	They didn't want to risk letting some stranger into their mix. And I don't blame them, really. It's a rough world out there. 	A little resentful, but resigns to the reality of the situation.
 	 	 	But when I saw the Brotherhood roll in? People were not -- could not -- turn them away. 	Building awe, pride
 	 	 	Reminded me of my time in the Army. Where we went, there was a sense of safety, security. 	Pride, reminiscent
 	 	 	I wanted to take advantage of that. Help people on the road. Sure enough, they lead me to plenty of people in need. 	Snap back to the here and now, direct answer
 	 	 	As a community, I think they're fine company. As a team, I don't think I've ever felt safer. 	Friendly, but kind of beating around the bush
 	 	 	Alright, then. Be seeing you. 	Friendly
 	 	 	Want to get personal? That's fine, that's fine... I'm not paying rent, after all. 	Ever so slightly flirty
 	 	 	Okay. Couldn't hurt to answer a few questions. Ask away. 	Almost as if he's answering this for himself... "Would it hurt? No."
 	 	 	Sure. I don't know if I'm a model member, but I can try and fill you in as much as I can. It's the least I can do. 	Joking... sorta
 	 	 	You mean you want to talk shop? Sure. Anything that'll make it easier for you to assist us. 	The player is also a member
 	 	 	Ha, at this point you might be able to tell ME a thing or two about the Brotherhood. But, sure, what did you want to know? 	The player is now a much more important member than Solomon
 	 	 	Of course. Just tell me where it hurts. 	Bit of a chuckle.
 	 	 	Listen, I can leave if you want, but I'm doing this for the people out there that need my help. 	Slightly annoyed, but trying to not get hostile
 	 	 	If this ends up being too much of a problem, let me know. Until then, I hope you can see some value in what I offer. 	Annoyed but trying to reassure the player
 	 	 	Affirmative -- wait a minute... You're THAT vault dweller? The one who's been helping us out? 	Snaps into military mode, then realizes who he's talking to
 	 	 	Well that's perfect! It's great to meet you -- even better to get to work together. Ad Victoriam! 	Relieved, pretty honored
 	 	 	I'm looking forward to working together. Ad Victoriam! 	Friendly
 	 	 	I just need a small spot for myself. I'll stay out of your way, and I'll be around if you need any assistance. 	Friendly, feels like he's sealed the deal
 	 	 	Do we have a deal? 	Friendly
 	 	 	You could. Sure. It wouldn't be my first time fending off a would-be bandit, though. 	Taking this in stride. It's not the first time someone has pulled this, and he still wants to butter the player up a bit.
 	 	 	You'd also have the whole Brotherhood knocking your doors down. I, uh, wouldn't recommend that. 	Still keeping it light-hearted. Doesn't honestly expect escalation.
 	 	 	Well, I don't really have much proof, but I'm not really asking for a handout or anything. 	Has nothing to hide
 	 	 	Hopefully my services can speak for themselves. 	Steering it back to a friendly tone
 	 	 	Believe me, I wish I could give it all away, but I need to be able to buy more supplies myself. 	Sympathetic. Genuinely doesn't WANT your money, but needs it.
 	 	 	At the prices I can offer, I'm already at risk for paying out of pocket. 	Sorry about it
 	 	 	I suppose so. It's just the right thing to do. I've got the training and people need my help. 	He doesn't put himself on a pedestal like that. He doesn't see this as flattery.
 	 	 	I appreciate the sentiment, though. 	Trying to not be a snob about it, though
 	 	 	See, I signed up with the Brotherhood for a chance to help people across the country. 	This is not an answer to a question, this is a continuation of his previous explanation.
 	 	 	But, now that we're stationed in Atlas Observatory, my ability to reach patients has been limited. 	Trying to get a little more friendly
 	 	 	I'm looking for a safe and relatively clean place to store supplies and catch my breath while on the road. 	Friendly, trying to come off as easy going
 	 	 	If you're willing to let me spend time here, I can offer surplus supplies and some medical services for as low a cost as I can afford. 	Not scheming, genuinely trying to make a deal he believes is a good one.
 	 	 	No, I'm afraid not. There isn't much money to be made in my profession anymore. 	Start with a chuckle. Doctors aren't rich anymore.
 	 	 	Because I might just blast back. 	Serious in tone, maybe slightly annoyed. Cold response.
 	 	 	(sigh) I'm sorry, I think we got off on the wrong foot here. Let me explain. 	Genuine remorse, calming tone
 	 	 	Please, just "Solomon" is fine. 	Slightly embarrassed (he's not actually a licensed doctor)
 	 	 	Oh, you're... You're that vault dweller that's been helping us out! Ad Victoriam! I guess I'm in luck. 	Realizing who the player is, then feeling relieved, lowers tension.
 	 	 	I'm Solomon Hardy. I'm a doctor and Initiate with the Brotherhood of Steel. I've got a proposition for you. 	
 	 	 	Mhmm. Okay, well I could see why the creator of "Nuka-Cola: My Blood's In It" might want to remain anonymous. 	Coy - he knows the player is this person
 	 	 	Tact for branding aside, Appalachia wouldn't be around today if it wasn't for them. 	Sincere thanks, but obviously knows the player is "them."
 	 	 	Alright, have your secrets, then. Appalachia, hell the whole world, owes that person -- whoever they are -- a great deal of thanks. 	Knows it was the player. Playful at first, but genuine thanks
 	 	 	Wow, you saved a lot of lives, you know. 	Sincere
 	 	 	Remind me to buy you an ice-cold Nuka-Cola. This time, without your antibodies in it. 	Back to cheeky
