 	GREETING 	Anger 35 	Unless you and Joshua have any objections, I'd like to start evacuating the Sorrows. I'm going to need your help, so say your piece. 	
 	GREETING 	Fear 50 	{At Pine Creek Tunnel, first time} Please, have you done everything you can for the Sorrows? Are they all accounted for?! 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50	{At Pine Creek tunnel, return} Please, is it time? Is everyone safe? We {emph} have to go! 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50	Uh... I apologize if this comes across as a less-than-cordial welcome, but how did you get in here? You from the Mojave? 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50	Do me a favor and go to talk to Joshua, all right? 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50	The Dead Horses told me details about the attack on your caravan. A stranger's sympathy might not count for much, but for what it's worth, I'm sorry. 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50	The Sorrows will mourn your friends, too. They mourn everyone, even the White Legs. They have sensitive souls. Innocent, if there is such a thing. 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50	In spite of what's happened, I hope that Joshua and I can help you out of here. But to be frank, we need your help, too. 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50	I'm glad to see you're still with us. How can I help you? 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50	< Do Not Translate: Daniel Top Level Topics > 	
 	What do you know about the Father in the Caves? 	Neutral 50	Father in the? Oh, right. He's some spirit the Sorrows used to believe in, watched over them from the caves in the valley. 	
 	What do you know about the Father in the Caves? 	Neutral 50	They marked some of the caves around here because they think they'll be punished for going inside. 	
 	What do you know about the Father in the Caves? 	Neutral 50	I think as more of them learn the teachings of the New Canaanites, they'll lose their old superstitions. 	
 	Joshua told me you needed a few things. I think this is everything. 	Neutral 50	Well I'll be. I was starting to lose hope we'd be able to get any of this, much less all of it. Tribals are smart but... well, they're ignorant. 	
 	Joshua told me you needed a few things. I think this is everything. 	Neutral 50	Letting go of a taboo is difficult for them, so I knew it would have to be one of us. Turns out all it took was a Gentile. Or, uh... no offense. 	
 	Joshua told me you needed a few things. I think this is everything. 	Neutral 50	These supplies are a godsend, but if we're going to evacuate Zion without drawing more White Leg attention, I need you to go back into the valley. 	
 	Joshua told me you needed a few things. I think this is everything. 	Neutral 50	Specifically, I need you to scout out some locations for White Legs and try to recover a map of Grand Staircase, a wilderness area to the east. 	
 	Joshua told me you needed a few things. I think this is everything. 	Neutral 50	There's also the matter of the roads. We're going to be heading out of the east side of the park, but I'm not sure the way is clear. 	
 	I checked on everything in the valley and got you the map of Grand Staircase. 	Neutral 50	I appreciate it. Well, that's it. This is all we need. Now all that's left is to quietly pack up and try to get out of here without being noticed. 	
 	I checked on everything in the valley and got you the map of Grand Staircase. 	Sad 10 	That's assuming that Joshua won't try to stop me. {beat} And that he hasn't talked you into fighting the White Legs despite what I've said. 	
 	I checked on everything in the valley and got you the map of Grand Staircase. 	Sad 10 	Don't worry. I don't hold it against you. You're a - {stops himself from saying Gentile} an outsider. Fighting seems like the practical solution. But there's more than that at stake.	
 	I think Joshua's right. We should fight the White Legs. 	Neutral 50	{sigh} No. Why? {beat} Why? Haven't you seen enough of what's going on here to see that the Sorrows don't need to butcher the White Legs for a piece of land? 	
 	I think Joshua's right. We should fight the White Legs. 	Neutral 50	What Joshua wants is more than an attack. He wants a slaughter. And he needs more than you and the Dead Horses to do it. 	
 	I think Joshua's right. We should fight the White Legs. 	Neutral 50	The Sorrows can't be pushed into this. You and Joshua don't have the right to force them into it. Please, consider what I'm saying. 	
 	Don't worry. I think leaving Zion is for the best. 	Neutral 50	It may be. I hope it is. To tell the truth, if something goes wrong, more Sorrows could die in the escape than in Joshua's proposed attack. 	
 	Don't worry. I think leaving Zion is for the best. 	Neutral 50	Even knowing that, it's a risk I have to take. With your help, and Joshua's, even if we're attacked, we can defend the Sorrows and escape. 	
 	Don't worry. I think leaving Zion is for the best. 	Neutral 50	We'll be traveling at night, in small groups, across the valley. With luck, the White Legs won't know what's happened until the next morning. 	
 	Don't worry. I think leaving Zion is for the best. 	Neutral 50	But if the White Legs realize what's happening... Joshua and I will need {emph} you to help us escape. Don't hold back. I promise you, the White Legs won't. 	
 	Don't worry. I think leaving Zion is for the best. 	Neutral 50	Once our path is clear, I'll give you everything you need to get back to the Mojave, but the Pine Creek tunnel must be collapsed behind us. 	
 	Don't worry. I think leaving Zion is for the best. 	Neutral 50	It's the only way to delay the White Legs' pursuit long enough for us to get a head start. Good luck, and may God be with us. 	
 	I need to think about this. 	Neutral 50	Even our Lord had doubts. Think it over, but listen to your heart. And do it quickly. We don't have much time. 	
 	Yes, go! 	Happy 50 	You've done more than I could have ever hoped for. Thank you. And may God protect you for all of your days. Goodbye. 	
 	Yes, go! 	Anger 25 	You let them die! They needed you! Why didn't you help them?! 	
 	Yes, go! 	Disgust 15	Nevermind. I don't have time for this. Take the map. Just take it and go! 	
 	No, not yet. 	Anger 15 	Hurry! There isn't any time to waste! We have to get out of here and collapse the tunnel behind us! 	
 	Why do you need a map of Grand Staircase? 	Neutral 50	Grand Staircase is farther east, deeper into the Colorado Plateau. 	
 	Why do you need a map of Grand Staircase? 	Neutral 50	The White Legs were able to reach us here, but it's only because Zion is close to the Long 15. They can't pursue us east of here. It's too wild. 	
 	Why do you need a map of Grand Staircase? 	Neutral 50	Throughout our history, we have called many places Zion. This valley is full of God's beauty, but it's just a place. Zion is more than this. 	
 	Why do you need a map of Grand Staircase? 	Neutral 50	We cannot use any and all means available just to protect stone and water and a piece of sky. We have to hold on to our faith. Far more enduring. 	
 	Why do you need a map of Grand Staircase? 	Neutral 50	If we sacrifice grace for a piece of land, we may live in this valley, but we will no longer dwell in Zion. It's better for us to leave now. 	
 	You mentioned you need healing powder. I have some, if you're still interested. 	Happy 15 	{sighs, relieved} That's great news. We can use anything you can offer. 	
 	Is there any other way I can help the Sorrows? 	Neutral 50	If you could part with it, healing powder would be welcome. We have enough Stimpaks for now, but we can't rely on that small supply. 	
 	Is there any other way I can help the Sorrows? 	Neutral 50	Broc and Xander plants can be found throughout the valley and you might even find some on White Legs you come across. 	
 	Here's one healing powder. 	Happy 10 	Thanks. Even one dose can make a difference. 	
 	Take all I have. 	Neutral 50	Your generosity is... {sighs, not sure what to say} well, I just can't thank you enough. 	
 	Let's talk more later. 	Neutral 50	Until then. 	
 	Tell me about Waking Cloud's family. 	Neutral 50	{a bit of apprehension} What uh... what do you want to know, exactly? I'm sure she could tell you much better than I. 	
 	I came in with the Happy Trails Caravan. We were attacked by tribals. I'm the only survivor. 	Neutral 50	That's... {sighs} I'm so sorry. That's terrible. We've been having a lot of problems with the White Legs here in Zion lately. 	
 	I came in with the Happy Trails Caravan. We were attacked by tribals. I'm the only survivor. 	Neutral 50	In fact, that's why I'm here. I'm Daniel, a New Canaanite missionary to this tribe, the Sorrows. 	
 	I came in with the Happy Trails Caravan. We were attacked by tribals. I'm the only survivor. 	Neutral 50	It's important that you speak to my colleague, Joshua Graham, at the Dead Horses camp at Eastern Virgin. We can speak again later. 	
 	I came in with the Happy Trails Caravan. We were attacked by tribals. I'm the only survivor. 	Neutral 50	Again, I'm very sorry for the deaths of your friends. 	
 	Oh, heh. I just walked here. No big deal. 	Anger 15 	{annoyed} Okay. Can you do me a favor and "just walk" down to Eastern Virgin? 	
 	Oh, heh. I just walked here. No big deal. 	Anger 15 	There's a group of Dead Horse warriors there with my colleague, Joshua Graham. I'd like you to talk to him about the route you took to enter Zion. 	
 	Oh, heh. I just walked here. No big deal. 	Anger 5 	We've had a lot of problems with White Legs in the area and I'd feel more comfortable if you spoke with him about the situation here. Thanks. 	
 	Who are you to be asking me questions? 	Anger 30 	{angry} I'm someone who's responsible for protecting a lot of innocent people from raiders and {emph} mercenaries who might try to take advantage of them. 	
 	Who are you to be asking me questions? 	Anger 25 	I think you need a little perspective on what the heck is going on in Zion. There's a Dead Horse warrior camp at Eastern Virgin. Get there. 	
 	Who are you to be asking me questions? 	Anger 15 	My friend Joshua Graham can fill you in on some of the trouble we've been having with White Legs in these parts. Listen to what he says. 	
 	Who are you to be asking me questions? 	Anger 25 	Now if you'll excuse me, I've had enough of your sass for one day. 	
 	Anything to help. I'll do what I can. 	Neutral 50	I appreciate the enthusiasm. There aren't a lot of people in the wasteland with kindness to spare for anyone who isn't kin. 	
 	Anything to help. I'll do what I can. 	Neutral 50	Since you've been poking around the valley, you might see more activity from the White Legs. 	
 	Anything to help. I'll do what I can. 	Neutral 50	One of the Sorrows hunters, Waking Cloud, has volunteered to help guide you through the valley. She has a special talent for staying out of sight. 	
 	Anything to help. I'll do what I can. 	Neutral 50	After this, it's just a matter of getting everyone out of here safe and sound. And hopefully you can head back to the Mojave without any more trouble. 	
 	If it will get me out of here, sure. 	Neutral 50	Listen, I understand that you want to go home. But we didn't ask you to come to Zion. As far as I'm concerned, you're an uninvited guest. 	
 	If it will get me out of here, sure. 	Neutral 50	In better times, I'd drop everything to help you out, but I have to ensure the safety of the Sorrows first. 	
 	If it will get me out of here, sure. 	Neutral 50	And don't think you're alone in this. One of the Sorrows, Waking Cloud, has volunteered to help you in the valley. 	
 	If it will get me out of here, sure. 	Neutral 50	She's an experienced hunter and has a special gift for staying out of sight when she needs to. Should make things easier for you. 	
 	If it will get me out of here, sure. 	Neutral 50	After that, all that's left is to evacuate the Sorrows safe and sound. I'll give you a map and supplies, everything you need to get back home. 	
 	Come on. I got you everything you needed. Just give me the damned map. 	Anger 30 	Okay. You better listen close because I'm not going to repeat myself. You were not invited here. This is not your home. 	
 	Come on. I got you everything you needed. Just give me the damned map. 	Anger 40 	We have what you might call a {emph} compulsion to help you on account of our beliefs, but if you continue to {emph} spit in our eye with insults and profanity... 	
 	Come on. I got you everything you needed. Just give me the damned map. 	Anger 20 	You'll find out what happens when our patience wears out. People died at New Canaan because we bickered and debated about what to do. 	
 	Come on. I got you everything you needed. Just give me the damned map. 	Anger 10 	That was a mistake. Complaining to me now, also a mistake. I'm not going to add sin upon sin by listening to your grumbling. 	
 	Come on. I got you everything you needed. Just give me the damned map. 	Anger 25 	You want the map? Get out in that valley. Help us. One of the Sorrows, Waking Cloud, will go with you. She knows how to get around the valley unseen. 	
 	Come on. I got you everything you needed. Just give me the damned map. 	Disgust 20	She's also a midwife and has three kids of her own, so she'll be more tolerant of your whining. 	
 	I apologize, Daniel. I think stress got the best of me. 	Sad 25 	[SUCCEEDED] {sigh} I understand. But I hope {emph} you can understand why it's so important for us to leave here as soon as we can. 	
 	I apologize, Daniel. I think stress got the best of me. 	Fear 10 	I... {emph} we couldn't save New Canaan. This is a chance to make up for that, to start again. We can't fail. 	
 	Sorry, I uh... didn't mean to insult you or whatever. 	Anger 10 	[FAILED] Corrected action is the most sincere form of apology. 	
 	Fine. 	Anger 10 	Fantastic. 	
 	I'll be taking the map now. 	Anger 35 	You just don't learn, do you? 	
 	Why are you so eager to evacuate Zion? You don't seem to be a pacifist. 	Neutral 50	There's an old saying that goes, "If you want peace, get ready for war." 	
 	Why are you so eager to evacuate Zion? You don't seem to be a pacifist. 	Neutral 50	You've got me figured half-right. I'll shoot dead any White Leg that tries to creep into this camp, but it's only to protect the Sorrows. 	
 	Why are you so eager to evacuate Zion? You don't seem to be a pacifist. 	Neutral 50	The Lord helps those who help themselves, but the Sorrows don't know how. Joshua and I do. Since I got them into this mess, I need to get them out. 	
 	That's an awful lot of responsibility to take on. 	Neutral 50	The New Canaanites interfered in their lives. {emph} We did that. And we've done it before, with others. Always with good intentions, but things go wrong. 	
 	That's an awful lot of responsibility to take on. 	Neutral 50	When that happens, we can't just abandon them, let them die at the hands of New Canaan's enemies. 	
 	You're right to leave, but I don't think you should kill any of the White Legs. 	Neutral 50	You're free to hold that opinion, but you're not responsible for these people. If I have to kill to prevent their blood from being spilled, so be it. 	
 	If you're willing to defend the Sorrows, why not pursue the White Legs? 	Neutral 50	There is an important difference between killing in defense and waging war. Even a Gentile like you should know that. 	
 	Joshua's a New Canaanite and he's obviously willing to attack the White Legs. 	Anger 35 	Joshua is a living bible of all mankind's miseries of war! The debt he has levied through his actions, he repays {emph} every {emph} day! 	
 	Joshua's a New Canaanite and he's obviously willing to attack the White Legs. 	Disgust 20	He is a monument both to God's unending forgiveness and to humanity's unfathomable capacity for cruelty. It's written on every inch of his body! 	
 	Joshua's a New Canaanite and he's obviously willing to attack the White Legs. 	Anger 15 	When you look at him, do you only see a man of God? Beneath those bandages, he is {emph} burned {emph} flesh. As he burns, so does he consume everyone around him. 	
 	Joshua's a New Canaanite and he's obviously willing to attack the White Legs. 	Sad 10 	Joshua wants to fight because the White Legs have stoked the naked flame inside of him. You, {emph} you see the light, but do not yet feel the heat. 	
 	Joshua's a New Canaanite and he's obviously willing to attack the White Legs. 	Sad 15 	I can pray that you never will, but it isn't up to me and it isn't up to God. It's up to Joshua. 	
 	Joshua's come up with a reasonable alternative. Why not help them fight? 	Neutral 50	Joshua doesn't just want to fight the White Legs. He wants to annihilate them. The stakes are too high for their tribe. 	
 	Joshua's come up with a reasonable alternative. Why not help them fight? 	Neutral 50	Hurting them won't dissuade them. If they can't join Caesar's Legion, they'll die out in a generation. They've never learned how to survive. 	
 	Joshua's come up with a reasonable alternative. Why not help them fight? 	Neutral 50	Food preservation, tanning, even basic hunting and cooking seem beyond them. They only survive by scavenging and raiding, but that can't last. 	
 	Joshua's come up with a reasonable alternative. Why not help them fight? 	Neutral 50	They'll only stop if Joshua and the Dead Horses can kill their war chief and their entire war band. That's exactly what he intends to do. 	
 	That makes sense. Let's talk about something else. 	Neutral 50	What would you like to know? 	
 	The use of violence only leads to more violence. 	Neutral 50	Try walking alongside a tribal child, a refugee, and holding her hand for three days because her parents were killed by NCR prospectors. 	
 	The use of violence only leads to more violence. 	Neutral 50	After the prospectors have stalked the remainder of the tribe, they fire off a few shots to scare them, and the tribe bunches together for safety. 	
 	The use of violence only leads to more violence. 	Neutral 50	A grenade comes rolling in and kills another six people. The only reason you survive is because someone else's body absorbed the shrapnel. 	
 	The use of violence only leads to more violence. 	Neutral 50	You're left sprawled out on the ground with ringing in your ears and a little girl's hand in your hand because that's all that's left of her. 	
 	The use of violence only leads to more violence. 	Neutral 50	After you've done that, if you can look me in the eye and tell me it's better to stand aside, maybe then I'll listen to you. 	
 	She said one of her births was difficult and you helped her through it. 	Neutral 50	{a bit relieved} Oh, well that's true. Waking Cloud is a talented midwife. She's certainly brought more children into the world than I have. 	
 	She said one of her births was difficult and you helped her through it. 	Neutral 50	But there are some problems she's never dealt with. One of them came up when she was having her third child and... 	
 	She said one of her births was difficult and you helped her through it. 	Neutral 50	I really didn't do much. I'm surprised she mentioned it. 	
 	Did you help the rest of her family leave Zion? 	Neutral 50	{sighing, a bit apprehensive} I did. 	
 	What's the matter? Did something happen? 	Neutral 50	Her three children are safe. They made it north weeks ago and met up with New Canaanites heading east. 	
 	What's the matter? Did something happen? 	Neutral 50	Her husband didn't make it. He died protecting their children from a White Leg attack. 	
 	What's the matter? Did something happen? 	Neutral 50	Do {emph} not tell Waking Cloud. She is one of the only Sorrows who can communicate easily with us and her tribe needs her to be strong right now. 	
 	O... kay, let's talk about something else then. 	Neutral 50	{sighing, relieved} Good. Fine, whatever you'd like to know. 	
 	It's her husband! Don't you think she has a right to know? 	Neutral 50	To every thing, there is a season. Who are you or I to put this heavy burden on her now? 	
 	I don't think you should hide this from her, but I see your point. I won't say anything. 	Neutral 50	And I don't like hiding it from her, but I'm between a rock and a hard place here. 	
 	I don't think you should hide this from her, but I see your point. I won't say anything. 	Neutral 50	Her people... honestly, we {emph} all need her help. As much as it pains me to say it, there will be time to mourn later. 	
 	Settle down. I'm not telling her squat. 	Neutral 50	Good. I'll tell her after we've helped the rest of the Sorrows reach safety. 	
 	You're the New Canaanite who's supposed help lead these people, not hide things from them. 	Neutral 50	{sigh} I know. You're right. I shouldn't have hidden it from her in the first place. I just... we can't fail here again. 	
 	You're the New Canaanite who's supposed help lead these people, not hide things from them. 	Neutral 50	Zion can't become the next New Canaan. The Sorrows don't deserve that. They don't deserve any of this. 	
 	You're the New Canaanite who's supposed help lead these people, not hide things from them. 	Neutral 50	Sometimes I look at them and wonder if they would have been better off if those old trails had stayed forgotten. 	
 	You're the New Canaanite who's supposed help lead these people, not hide things from them. 	Neutral 50	If we had never found any of them. {long sigh} Tell Waking Cloud if you think that's best. I won't stop you. 	
 	Aren't you the guy in charge around here? 	Neutral 50	That's not an easy thing to be. I don't like doing this, but I can't see any good coming from telling Waking Cloud her husband died. 	
 	That's too bad, because I'm going to tell her. 	Neutral 50	You'll do what you'll do - I won't try to stop you. I'd ask only that you consider the repercussions of your actions. 	
 	Fine. Forget it. 	Neutral 50	Good. 	
 	I need some medical assistance. Can you help? 	Neutral 50	I should be able to address most common problems. What's the matter? 	
 	I have an addiction problem. 	Neutral 50	{sighs} As much as I wish people wouldn't touch alcohol or chems at all, I understand. Would you like me to help? 	
 	Oh, the usual. A few scrapes, burns, and bullet wounds. 	Neutral 50	Huh. You look fine to me. Physically, anyway. 	
 	Oh, the usual. A few scrapes, burns, and bullet wounds. 	Neutral 50	Yeah, you don't look too bad. Shouldn't take much to get you fixed up. 	
 	Oh, the usual. A few scrapes, burns, and bullet wounds. 	Neutral 50	It looks like you have a few nasty injuries, but nothing I haven't seen before. Want me to fix you up? 	
 	Oh, the usual. A few scrapes, burns, and bullet wounds. 	Neutral 50	Funny sense of humor. I've seen corpses with injuries less severe than yours. This might take a while. 	
 	Radiation sickness. 	Neutral 50	Even after all these years, it's still a problem for prospectors, caravan guards, couriers, and tribals. I can fix it. 	
 	I need medical supplies. 	Neutral 50	I can provide medical assistance. I can even use supplies that we have here, but I can't just sell what we have. 	
 	I need medical supplies. 	Neutral 50	I need to address problems as they arise, and most of those have to do with the Sorrows or Dead Horses. 	
 	I need medical supplies. 	Neutral 50	Take a look. 	
 	Yes. Here's 200 caps. 	Neutral 50	Have a seat. This may be a bit uncomfortable. 	
 	Hmm. I guess I don't have 200 caps. 	Neutral 50	I'd like to help you, but I have to be able to cover the cost of supplies. If you can find the money, come back and see me. 	
 	What do you do here? 	Neutral 50	I used to help the Sorrows with various medical problems and general issues they were having, but my bishop sent me here as a missionary. 	
 	What do you do here? 	Neutral 50	We New Canaanites believe that there is a path to salvation for everyone and it's important that we set people on that path if they are willing. 	
 	Here's 150 caps for the trouble. 	Neutral 50	Thanks. Hold still. You'll be better in no time. 	
 	Sure. Will 300 caps cover it? 	Neutral 50	Thanks. Hold still. You'll be better in no time. 	
 	I can handle the expenses. 600 caps should cover everything, shouldn't it? 	Neutral 50	Thanks. Hold still. You'll be better in no time. 	
 	I guess I don't quite have 150 caps... 	Neutral 50	Well, I do need to cover the cost of supplies. Let me know if you find enough funds. 	
 	Actually, I think I'll be fine. Thanks anyway. 	Neutral 50	Suit yourself. 	
 	It looks like I'm a bit short of 300 caps... 	Neutral 50	Well, I do need to cover the cost of supplies. Let me know if you find enough funds. 	
 	Er... it looks like I don't quite have 600 caps. 	Neutral 50	Well, I do need to cover the cost of supplies. Let me know if you find enough funds. 	
 	Here's 300 caps to cover the expenses. 	Neutral 50	That should cover it. Hold on. This shouldn't take long. 	
 	You said you "used to" help the Sorrows with problems. What do you do now? 	Neutral 50	I'm trying to make amends for allowing our problem to become their problem. The New Canaanites, I mean. 	
 	You said you "used to" help the Sorrows with problems. What do you do now? 	Neutral 50	The White Legs have always fought with us, and with Joshua returning, Caesar has motivated the White Legs to stamp out the New Canaanites entirely. 	
 	You said you "used to" help the Sorrows with problems. What do you do now? 	Neutral 50	That means the tribes we work with, too. It's already hap-{stopping himself} I just want to prevent something terrible from happening to the Sorrows. 	
 	I'm trading Pre-War goods and supplies from the Mojave Wasteland. You need those too, don't you? 	Neutral 50	[SUCCEEDED] I do. {pause} All right. I can provide you with supplies, but be frugal with them. 	
 	But I have... caps. Many of them. Let me show you all of my fine caps. 	Neutral 50	[FAILED] {laughing softly while speaking} I'm sure your caps are fine, but I have to hold on to the supplies I have here. Sorry. 	
 	Most of the Sorrows and Dead Horses are protected. I'm out there getting shot up by White Legs. 	Neutral 50	[SUCCEEDED] Fair enough. Just be careful and hopefully you won't need these. 	
 	Yeah, but I'm helping you so... come on. 	Neutral 50	[FAILED] If you need healing, just ask me. I can help you with addiction, radiation poisoning, even broken bones. But I can't give you supplies. 	
 	I understand. 	Neutral 50	Thank you. If I can help you in some other way, don't hesitate to ask. 	
 	Salvation? From what, the wasteland? 	Neutral 50	A spiritual wasteland, yes. We believe that before this life, our souls existed elsewhere. And after we die, our souls will leave this world. 	
 	Salvation? From what, the wasteland? 	Neutral 50	During our time here, we have the burden of choice. The choices we make determine where we go in the spirit world, and how we will face judgment. 	
 	Salvation? From what, the wasteland? 	Neutral 50	New Canaanites believe, as many once did, that God was made flesh here on Earth as a man named Jesus Christ. He sacrificed his life to save us. 	
 	Salvation? From what, the wasteland? 	Neutral 50	Every sin, every terrible thing that you, me, or any one of us have done for all time, was washed away by his blood. We just have to accept his love. 	
 	Salvation? From what, the wasteland? 	Neutral 50	That's why we visit the tribes, to spread the good news. For all we know, we New Canaanites may be all that remains of Christ's followers. 	
 	What does a bishop do? Is that your boss? 	Neutral 50	Yeah, Bishop Mordecai is... 	
 	What does a bishop do? Is that your boss? 	Sad 20 	{sad, remembering that he died} Sorry. Mordecai was my bishop. He was killed by White Legs during the attack on New Canaan. He was responsible for our congregation there. 	
 	What does a bishop do? Is that your boss? 	Sad 10 	I don't know who my next bishop will be. {resolved} But that's a problem for tomorrow. There are plenty of troubles here for us today. 	
 	Has this happened before, the White Legs attacking other tribes? 	Neutral 50	Yes. But not just White Legs. Raiders too. Prospectors. Slavers. Anyone who thinks they can exploit the ignorant and the innocent. 	
 	Has this happened before, the White Legs attacking other tribes? 	Neutral 50	We lost the Tar Walkers. And the Crazy Horns. We did our best, but we made mistakes. We paid for them, but they paid more. 	
 	Has this happened before, the White Legs attacking other tribes? 	Neutral 50	I'd like to get out from under that debt someday. Until then, it's enough to stop ourselves from getting deeper in the hole. 	
 	The White Legs are here already, so what's your plan? 	Neutral 50	To remove the Sorrows from harm's way. I have to give credit to the White Legs for finding their way here, though I imagine many died in the process. 	
 	The White Legs are here already, so what's your plan? 	Neutral 50	But they can't follow us east, not into the Grand Staircase. They don't know how to live off of the land. We head there, we can find some safety. 	
 	What happened at New Canaan? 	Neutral 50	{uncomfortable talking about it} We lost it. Our community, everything. But the past is gone. We have to look forward. 	
 	Were you close to Mordecai? 	Neutral 50	Look, I've got a lot to do here. My personal relationship... it's not important right now. Can't see how it concerns you, anyway. 	
 	If you don't acknowledge your past now, it'll come back to you later. 	Sad 15 	[SUCCEEDED] True enough. We can't escape it no matter how hard we try. Best we can do is own up, trust in the Lord to forgive. 	
 	If you don't acknowledge your past now, it'll come back to you later. 	Neutral 50	Joshua was gone, so were a lot of the other New Canaanites. White Legs must have been watching for a long while, counting who remained. 	
 	If you don't acknowledge your past now, it'll come back to you later. 	Sad 15 	We didn't think the White Legs were a real threat. Maybe it was overconfidence. Maybe sloth. Either way, we didn't see them coming. 	
 	If you don't acknowledge your past now, it'll come back to you later. 	Anger 25 	They attacked at night. They killed without regard to age or infirmity. Armed or unarmed. They beat children to-{cut off, overcome with emotion momentarily} 	
 	If you don't acknowledge your past now, it'll come back to you later. 	Sad 30 	{pause} Beat them to death in their beds while they were sleeping. {pause} And now we're all that's left. Maybe thirty of us. {"lesson learned"} Pride goeth before destruction. 	
 	That's it? 	Neutral 50	[FAILED] As far as you're concerned, it is. This really isn't the time to talk about it, all things considered. 	
 	Interesting. 	Neutral 50	Heh. That's actually a better response than I usually get from wastelanders. No offense. 	
 	Interesting. 	Neutral 50	Tell you what. There's a lot going on right now but why don't you take this. Read it. Maybe you'll hate it. Maybe you'll be bored. 	
 	Interesting. 	Neutral 50	But if you have questions, assuming we get through all this, let me know. It used to be my job to answer those questions. Maybe it will be again. 	
 	Sounds kind of far-fetched, even for the wasteland. 	Neutral 50	Good news is an amazing thing in this world we've {emph} unmade. We're so used to going to sleep with nightmares that we can't imagine waking up to a dream. 	
 	Sounds kind of far-fetched, even for the wasteland. 	Neutral 50	But that's what we believe, every word of it. It's the cornerstone of our faith and how we choose to live. 	
 	Sounds kind of far-fetched, even for the wasteland. 	Neutral 50	With every step {emph} you take, you put one foot in front of the other and {emph} know that you'll be pulled back down to this Earth. 	
 	Sounds kind of far-fetched, even for the wasteland. 	Neutral 50	{emph} We know that God is watching over us, waiting for us to come back home. To us, there's no difference. Walking and living. It's all belief, all faith. 	
 	Why don't you teach them something useful instead of filling their heads with nonsense? 	Anger 10 	We teach them practical skills for this life and we prepare them for what's to come. 	
 	Why don't you teach them something useful instead of filling their heads with nonsense? 	Neutral 50	The Sorrows could master all the wonders of the Old World. conquer the Great Basin north to south. But without God's love, they would have nothing. 	
 	Why don't you teach them something useful instead of filling their heads with nonsense? 	Happy 10 	It is shelter in the storm, food in times of hunger, warmth and light in the cold and darkness. What can compare to that in value and versatility? 	
 	Why don't you teach them something useful instead of filling their heads with nonsense? 	Neutral 50	You don't agree. That's your choice. It can be their choice, too. No one is forced to follow the narrow path. 	
 	You're the man in charge. If something's troubling you, it could affect all of us. 	Sad 25 	[SUCCEEDED] I never thought I'd be in charge of anything. Don't know why. Bishop Mordecai was old. He had been sick for years. 	
 	You're the man in charge. If something's troubling you, it could affect all of us. 	Neutral 50	He couldn't walk anymore. It wasn't a problem for the rest of us. {laughing a bit} He made it out to be more trouble than it really was. Just his way, I guess. 	
 	You're the man in charge. If something's troubling you, it could affect all of us. 	Neutral 50	When the White Legs came... {sigh} he was upstairs. We couldn't get him out in time. The house caught fire at the base and worked its way up. Fast. 	
 	You're the man in charge. If something's troubling you, it could affect all of us. 	Neutral 50	He didn't die of smoke. I wish he had. Sometimes I wake up and for a minute or two, I think all of it was a dream. But it's not. It wasn't. 	
 	You're the man in charge. If something's troubling you, it could affect all of us. 	Neutral 50	I wish all of this were some fevered vision of what could have been. Instead of what is, what we let happen. 	
 	I'm just curious, that's all. 	Neutral 50	[FAILED] It's understandable, but this is something for me to work out with the Lord. And I hope you can understand that. 	
 	I understand. Let's talk about something else. 	Neutral 50	Thanks. What would you like to know? 	
 	I'd like to talk to you about Mordecai. 	Neutral 50	{emph} I'd like you to drop it. It's a private matter. 	
 	Why won't you tell me about what happened at New Canaan? 	Neutral 50	It's not a subject I'm fond of discussing. It's over and done with, anyway. Why are you so interested? 	
 	Let's talk about something else. 	Neutral 50	Of course. 	
 	And you have the right to pull them off of their land? 	Anger 40 	I've already explained to them that we're leaving! They've accepted it! What is Joshua going to tell them about being a warrior? 	
 	And you have the right to pull them off of their land? 	Anger 25 	What are you going to tell them about how to live with themselves after they got lost in the moment, killed someone who didn't {emph} deserve to die? 	
 	And you have the right to pull them off of their land? 	Anger 35 	Or does that not matter? Is that just an acceptable consquence if it means holding on to this valley? 	
 	And you have the right to pull them off of their land? 	Disgust 15	Maybe there is no place left in this world for mercy. But even if it tramples me into the dust, I will never accept it. And I will never condone it. 	
 	And you have the right to pull them off of their land? 	Sad 20 	Joshua must be waiting for you. I'll stay here with the others as I told them I would. 	
 	This is the way the world is. They're part of it, whether you like it or not. 	Sad 25 	No. This is how we made the world. And we brought it to them. 	
 	This is the way the world is. They're part of it, whether you like it or not. 	Sad 15 	Joshua must be waiting for you. I'll stay here with the others. 	
 	Uh... you might want to have a chat with them. They think your "Lord" and the "Father" are the same.	Neutral 50	Oh. {realizing} Ah. {sighs} Of course. How stupid of me. They probably also think Mary is the mother and Jesus is the child. 	
 	Uh... you might want to have a chat with them. They think your "Lord" and the "Father" are the same.	Neutral 50	No wonder they picked up on things so easily. I guess it just goes to show how difficult it is to communicate sometimes. 	
 	I had some other questions for you. 	Neutral 50	What's on your mind? 	
 	Here, take three of my healing powders. 	Happy 10 	Thanks. That will help a good deal. 	
 	Here, take five of my healing powders. 	Happy 10 	That's very generous of you. Five doses will help a great deal. 	
 	What do you know of the White Legs? 	Neutral 50	They're hateful savages who live only to plunder and destroy. Their leader is a devil called Salt-Upon-Wounds. 	
 	What do you know of the White Legs? 	Neutral 50	War is what all he knows. Everything he has, everything that tribe has, was taken by force, raiding and scavenging. 	
 	What do you know of the White Legs? 	Neutral 50	It's said there's no man deadlier at close range, that that powerfist of his has smashed a hundred skulls. 	
 	What do you know of the White Legs? 	Neutral 50	Maybe that's true, but so what? It's a low form of leadership. A tribe that knows only war has no future. And so he'll lead them to Caesar. 	
 	NVDLC02EndingDaniel 	Neutral 50	{Narration - Daniel died} In the shadow of Daniel's death, those Sorrows who survived the assault on Zion Valley mourned his loss, as was their custom. 	
 	NVDLC02EndingDaniel 	Neutral 50	{Narration} Word of Daniel's passing reached the New Canaanites several weeks later. They prayed that their brother would be well-received by their Lord. 	
 	NVDLC02EndingDaniel 	Neutral 50	{Narration - Flight from Zion} After leading the Sorrows from their home in Zion to safety in Grand Staircase, Daniel continued to wonder if he'd made the right choice. 	
 	NVDLC02EndingDaniel 	Neutral 50	{Narration} He spent his life evangelizing the beliefs of his people to a new generation of young men and women, as his ancestors had for centuries before him. 	
 	NVDLC02EndingDaniel 	Neutral 50	{Narration} He was happy with his family, but for the rest of his life there were nights when he awoke with sadness to find he had been dreaming of Zion. 	
 	NVDLC02EndingDaniel 	Neutral 50	{Narration - Crush the White Legs} For years after the defeat of the White Legs, Daniel did his best to minister to the Sorrows' spiritual needs. 	
 	NVDLC02EndingDaniel 	Neutral 50	{Narration} Try as he might, he could not hold back the tribe's increasing militancy and reverence of Joshua Graham. 	
 	NVDLC02EndingDaniel 	Neutral 50	{Narration} Demoralized, he returned to his family and Dead Horse Point. His failures haunted him for the rest of his days.
