Pronto

Pronto is the owner of the Lock and Load weapons store working for the slavers at Paradise Falls in 2277.
==Background==
Rumored to be the son of old slaver, Pronto is the sole proprietor of the Lock and Load weapons store at Paradise Falls, taking over after the untimely death of the previous owner due to an apparent weapons mishap, or so claims Forty.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.91: "ProntoPronto is one of those guys who's always been around, but you can't remember how you met him or when he showed up. Rumor has it that he's the son of an old Slaver, but he doesn't get a lot of respect from them. He's a nice guy, and nice guys don't do well in Paradise Falls. Pronto has run Lock and Load since the last owner met an untimely end. According to Forty (then called Thirty-Two), the previous owner died when a weapon accidentally went off in his shop. If anyone knows different, they aren't saying anything."(Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition Wasteland Census) Pronto receives very little respect from his slaver compatriots. He is described as being a "nice guy," which tend to fare poorly in shrewd environment of Paradise Falls.
This "nice guy" persona puts him at odds with the rest of the slavers, who supply him with only subpar weapons looted from their raids, while keeping the better loot for themselves.The Lone Wanderer: "You guys are pretty isolated. Where do you get your supplies?"Pronto: "Well, the guys usually bring in what they grab on missions. I mean, you always got to kill a few people when you're gathering meat. You know, they've got some guards, the dad thinks he's a hero and pulls a gun, whatever. So, they bring that crap in here and trade it. But, mostly the only stuff I get is from these guys. And they keep the good stuff for themselves."(Pronto's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "Let me see your inventory."Pronto: "I tell you, for a bunch of dumbass wasters, the boys pull some good stuff off of the new meat."(Pronto's dialogue) As a result, he lacks a proper stock of quality armaments.The Lone Wanderer: "They keep the good stuff? No wonder your selection sucks."Pronto: "Hey, man. Rude. You don't like it, shop somewhere else. But yeah, those greedy assholes... I don't know how I'm supposed to pull down a living over here when they don't trade fair."(Pronto's dialogue)
A poor selection of weapons to sell, coupled with the danger of being enslaved or hung from the sign at the entrance to Paradise Falls if he tries to protest or take the better loot by force, has driven Pronto to seek outside assistance to improve his store's stock.The Lone Wanderer: "Why not put a boot to their asses and take the good stuff?"Pronto: "Because there's only one of me, man. I know you're new here, but you piss too many people off around here and you'll have trouble on your hands. And by "trouble" I mean "end up in the pens or hanging from the sign out front". No thanks.	But, if you know of anyway I could get some better stock in here, maybe we could work something out. It'd give me more to trade and give those animals out there more reason to open up their pockets."(Pronto's dialogue) Apart from weapons obtained from slave runs, Pronto has created some of his merchandise himself, while also dabbling in designing his own custom weapons.The Lone Wanderer: "Do you make a lot of your own stuff?"Pronto: "Yeah, pretty much. Take it apart, put it back together. It ain't hard. Sometimes I design my own weapons too."(Pronto's dialogue) Eulogy Jones, the leader of the slavers, shows little regard for Pronto, keeping him in the dark about the bigger slaver runs. Their relationship is strictly business, with Eulogy taking a cut of proceeds earned from the store. Eulogy Jones: "S'up, Pronto?""How's it goin', Pronto?""The man with the hardware. How are things, Pronto?""There's the man that keeps us knee deep in lead. How you doing?"Pronto: "I'm doin' pretty good, Eulogy. The guys have bought a ton of stock lately -- there somethin' big goin' down?""Not, bad, Eulogy. Not bad at all. These boys of your just keep buyin' and buyin'. You got them getting' ready for a war or something?"Eulogy Jones: "Haha! Could be, but I wouldn't tell you even if I knew. You got my money?""Nothing that I know about. All I'm interested in is my cut."Pronto: "Got it right here, man. Enjoy.""Right here, bro. Spend it in good health."Eulogy Jones: "You're good people, Pronto. Later.""I'll do that. Later, Pronto."(Paradise Falls conversations; Eulogy Jones', and Pronto's dialogue) 
==Gameplay==
During the unmarked quest Economics of Violence, Pronto will ask the player to obtain twenty chinese assault rifles to improve his weapon stock.The Lone Wanderer: "What do you need? Maybe I could bring you stuff to trade."Pronto: "Yeah... you know, I could really get this little shithole going if I had some better stuff. First thing's first, bring me some Chinese Assault Rifles. People always need 'em for parts. Twenty should get me going. I'll trade 'em off and I should be able to improve my stock pretty fast."(Pronto's dialogue)Note from Pronto Up to nine rifles are able to be traded at any given time. Once all of the rifles are traded, it will take a full in-game day for Pronto's inventory to update to his new selection. Eulogy Jones will travel to Lock and Load anytime between the hours of 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. to collect profits from Pronto.

==Behind the scenes==
 Pronto has unused dialogue related to buying Railway rifle schematics. These topics are related to his used line where the player asks if he makes his own weapons:
TOPIC 	PROMPT 	RESPONSE TEXT
FFPFBuySchematics1	What have you made? 	You know, this and that but... I made this kickass rifle. Fires railroad spikes. It will fuck a dude up, man.
FFPFBuySchematics2	Wow... your own stuff. That's... just stupid. Why take apart good guns?	You ain't got no artistic sense, man. There are a million different ways to kill someone, all it takes is a little imagination.
