 	GREETING 	Neutral 50	A pleasure to meet you! I'm Dr. Thomas Hildern, Director of Operations, OSI East. I presume you're here about Vault 22? {Very professional, smooth} 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50	We spoke earlier, didn't we? About Vault 22. My offer still stands, if you've changed your mind. 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50	We still need a contractor on our Vault 22 project. Interested? 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50	Yes? Something else you needed? 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50	I received a pleasant call from Dr. Keely. It seems we have you to thank for keeping her alive. Very charitable of you. {He's not at all happy that Keely is alive} 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50	Ah! I was just wondering what had become of you. 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50	What do you want? I thought I told you to stay the hell out of here. 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50	What are you doing in my office? You're not welcome here, get out! 	
 	What do you think of NCR's chances against the Legion? 	Neutral 50	To be frank, I have no idea. I leave the fighting to Colonel Hsu, and I expect him to leave the science to me. {Hsu = "shoe"} 	
 	What do you think of NCR's chances against the Legion? 	Neutral 50	Too many people have opinions on things they know nothing about. And the more ignorant they are, the more opinions they have. 	
 	Keely wiped the data. It's gone. 	Neutral 50	Keely. Again. Do you... do you understand what that rotting old bitch has done?! Thousands of people, mass starvation. We had a chance to avoid that. {absolutely furious} 	
 	Keely wiped the data. It's gone. 	Neutral 50	And I had a chance to prove that scientists could be more than a bunch of useless idealists. But Keely doesn't give a goddamn about that, does she? {absolutely furious} 	
 	Keely wiped the data. It's gone. 	Neutral 50	You're an accomplice in this. Keely is one old woman - you could have easily stopped her. You're either incompetent, or you were on her side. {turning his fury on the player} 	
 	Keely wiped the data. It's gone. 	Neutral 50	Now get out of this office. Get out! {furious, throwing the player out} 	
 	No. "Civilized" people stack the deck in their own favor, don't they? 	Neutral 50	If you're unhappy with the terms of our agreement, then consider this an object lesson. {fake friendliness} 	
 	No. "Civilized" people stack the deck in their own favor, don't they? 	Neutral 50	In the future, I'm sure you'll consider your agreements and contracts more carefully. Now, here is the sum we agreed to. 	
 	Goodbye. 	Neutral 50	Best of luck to you. Not that you'll need it. You seem like a reasonably competent person... {going back to his work, not even looking at the player anymore} 	
 	Why terminate her contract? 	Neutral 50	Williams has a tendency to feel before she thinks. Not in the lab. But everywhere else. 	
 	Why terminate her contract? 	Neutral 50	That might be forgivable if she kept her concerns to herself. But she doesn't. Not in front of her peers, not even with contractors like yourself. 	
 	Why terminate her contract? 	Neutral 50	That kind of behavior can undermine morale. She convinced my last contractor to quit. Same way she tried with you. 	
 	Why terminate her contract? 	Neutral 50	Probably didn't tell you that, did she? 	
 	You didn't always work for the OSI? 	Neutral 50	No, I... no. The OSI hasn't been around for very long. I received my training elsewhere. {reluctant to discuss his former comrades} 	
 	So who *did* train you? 	Neutral 50	Before the bombs, I might have studied at any number of colleges, universities. They gave a man a chance to advance himself... or so I've heard. 	
 	So who *did* train you? 	Neutral 50	But after the bombs - until a few years ago - anyone with half a brain had one choice. The Followers of the Apocalypse. 	
 	So who *did* train you? 	Neutral 50	Didn't matter if you agreed with them or not. You either played along or you were turned away. 	
 	And what do the Followers believe? 	Neutral 50	Knowledge for knowledge sake. A society of equals. They purport to be intelligent people, and then they spout this old-world dogma. 	
 	Doesn't sound like a good place for a person of ambition. 	Neutral 50	[SUCCEEDED] Exactly right. Imagine what the Followers could have accomplished if they were properly motivated... if they had a unified purpose! {the player has said something he agrees with - now he's confiding in player}	
 	Doesn't sound like a good place for a person of ambition. 	Neutral 50	Those of us who founded the OSI... we wanted to put our knowledge to work. And we have, to some degree. {confiding in player} 	
 	Doesn't sound like a good place for a person of ambition. 	Neutral 50	But the execs at OSI Central... they're still bound to the old ideas. Society of equals, and all that. There's still too little direction. {confiding in player} 	
 	Doesn't sound like a good place for a person of ambition. 	Neutral 50	If I can make real breakthroughs here... show the President what can be done when junior researchers are kept in line... kept focused on task... {confiding in player} 	
 	Doesn't sound like a good place for a person of ambition. 	Neutral 50	Who knows. Maybe I'll be sitting in OSI Central, in a few years time. And there'll be no more coddling of "free spirits" like our friend, Williams. {confiding in player - a little conspiratorial} 	
 	So... you wanted something more? 	Neutral 50	[FAILED] That was years ago. No point in discussing it. We have more practical concerns... and more important things to talk about. {dismissive - player said the wrong thing} 	
 	The Vault 22 data is gone. Destroyed. 	Neutral 50	Destroyed. Really. I find that hard to believe. More likely, you failed to locate the proper server. {Keeping his cool, doesn't believe the playerSCRIPTER: Player should lose NCR reputation points here} 	
 	Actually, I have an invoice for you from Alice McLafferty. 	Neutral 50	From Alice? I'll see that she's paid right away. 	
 	Actually, I have an invoice for you from Alice McLafferty. 	Neutral 50	Crimson Caravan runs a tight operation, even out here in the waste. Wouldn't do to keep them waiting. 	
 	Actually, I have an invoice for you from Alice McLafferty. 	Neutral 50	Was there anything else? Or were you just here about the invoice? 	
 	Actually, I have an invoice for you from Alice McLafferty. 	Neutral 50	Was there anything else? Or were you just here about the invoice? 	
 	The plants in that vault were dangerous. We destroyed the data. 	Neutral 50	We? We?! You were a part of this? After we made an explicit agreement, you have the fucking gall to destroy priceless scientific data? {absolutely furious} 	
 	The plants in that vault were dangerous. We destroyed the data. 	Neutral 50	The authorities are going to hear about this. They're going to know your name, they're going to know your goddamn face. {absolutely furious, threatening the player} 	
 	Believe whatever you want. It's the truth. 	Neutral 50	Keely. It was Keely, wasn't it? Who else would fail to give a fuck that thousands of people are going to starve, without that data? {furious} 	
 	Believe whatever you want. It's the truth. 	Neutral 50	And for what? So Keely can wage her selfish little war against me and the OSI. {absolutely furious and bitter} 	
 	I have an invoice for you from Alice McLafferty. 	Neutral 50	From Alice? I'll see that she's paid right away. 	
 	I have an invoice for you from Alice McLafferty. 	Neutral 50	Crimson Caravan runs a tight operation, even out here in the waste. Wouldn't do to keep them waiting. 	
 	I have an invoice for you from Alice McLafferty. 	Neutral 50	Was there anything else? Or were you just here about the invoice? 	
 	Then you don't want this invoice from Alice McLafferty? 	Neutral 50	Fine. I'll see that she's paid. Crimson Caravan always fulfils their contractual obligations to the letter. {cold. This is also a veiled attack on the player, who didn't see through his "contractual obligations."} 	
 	Then you don't want this invoice from Alice McLafferty? 	Neutral 50	Now I assume there's nothing more, so I trust you can see yourself to the door. {very cold} 	
 	What other responsibilities does this office have? 	Neutral 50	We aid some programs the Republic has sponsored involving sharecropper farms in the area, but those haven't panned out too well from what I hear. 	
 	What other responsibilities does this office have? 	Neutral 50	There've been complaints about the amount of water we're supplying, but those are just excuses for lack of diligence, I'm sure. 	
 	What other responsibilities does this office have? 	Neutral 50	We aid some programs the Republic has sponsored involving sharecropper farms in the area, which seem to be coming along nicely. 	
 	What other responsibilities does this office have? 	Neutral 50	There was some sort of trouble involving the water supply recently, but it sorted itself out, as these things often do. 	
 	Goodbye. 	Neutral 50	Dammit. Now you've made me forget what I was doing... {irritated with player for interrupting him} 	
 	<Lie> Yes, that's right. 	Neutral 50	Wonderful! Straight to it, then. Have you signed the release forms? No? Doesn't matter - we'll keep that to ourselves. 	
 	<Lie> Yes, that's right. 	Neutral 50	Vault 22... where to begin... {This is pure showmanship and a practiced speech - he knows exactly where to begin} 	
 	No, this is the first I've heard about Vault 22. 	Neutral 50	No, they wouldn't have briefed you, would they? Probably better that our junior fellows stay within the bounds of their pay grade, anyway. 	
 	Goodbye. 	Neutral 50	Wrong turn? Happens all the time. Do they give me a secretary? Of course not. 	
 	I'd be careful with that data. You didn't see those plants in the Vault. 	Neutral 50	Your concerns are perfectly understandable, but I assure you, they're entirely misplaced. We would never use a technology that wasn't fully tested. 	
 	I'd be careful with that data. You didn't see those plants in the Vault. 	Neutral 50	We aren't some motley band of Vault alchemists. We're with the government, for goodness sake. Have a little faith in us! {Big reassuring smile} 	
 	BUGGED LINE BELOW 	Neutral 50	[FAILED] If you are unhappy with the terms of our agreement, then consider this an object lesson. {condescending} 	
 	BUGGED LINE BELOW 	Neutral 50	In the future, I'm sure you'll consider your agreements and contracts more carefully. Now, here is the sum we agreed to. 	
 	BUGGED LINE BELOW 	Neutral 50	Of course, we're very grateful for your efforts, and I'll make certain that you're credited in our final report. Good day to you. {He's full of crap} 	
 	Depends. How much are you paying? 	Neutral 50	Ha ha! A mercenary, is that it? You won't be disappointed, I promise you. The Office of Science and Industry provides highly competitive benefits. 	
 	Depends. How much are you paying? 	Neutral 50	And as an external contractor, your pay would be... rather more competitive than those of our regular employees. {lowers voice - fake conspiratorial tone} 	
 	Depends. How much are you paying? 	Neutral 50	But we should keep that to ourselves, don't you think? {slimy wink} 	
 	Depends. How much are you paying? 	Neutral 50	So... how about I tell you what we need, and then you can tell me whether you're up to it? No pressure, of course. 	
 	This all sounds a little hard to believe. 	Neutral 50	Skepticism can be forgiven. But I think you'll come around... if the reports I've heard are true. 	
 	This doesn't sound like my kind of job. 	Neutral 50	I'm very sorry to hear that. If you should change your mind, the offer will stand. As will the substantial reward... {Emphasis on the reward - he's still trying to entice the player} 	
 	I'll think about it, and maybe I'll be back. 	Neutral 50	Naturally! Take all the time you need. {very smooth} 	
 	I'll think about it, and maybe I'll be back. 	Neutral 50	I assure you, the OSI places considerable value upon our contractors. We will take good care of you, should you decide to accept our offer. {He is completely full of shit.} 	
 	Forget it. I don't have time for this. 	Neutral 50	Of course not! You're obviously a busy man. But if life should... quiet down a bit... I'm certain we can find a place for you here. {Big fake smile at the end} 	
 	Forget it. I don't have time for this. 	Neutral 50	Of course not! I can see you're a woman of consequence. But if life should... quiet down a bit... I'm certain we can find a place for you here. {Big fake smile at the end} 	
 	I'm listening. 	Neutral 50	Imagine, if you will, the wasteland in bloom... vast fields of corn that grow from seeds and produce their bounty in the space of a month... {His elevator pitch} 	
 	I'm listening. 	Neutral 50	...orchards of trees, their branches weighed halfway to the ground, hung with fat, ripe oranges. A harvest that could feed a city... or a nation. {More elevator pitch} 	
 	I'm listening. 	Neutral 50	And all this... all this... requiring no more than a few of drops of precious water, and the efforts of only a handful of human farmers. Impossible? {More elevator pitch} 	
 	Save the sales pitch. Just tell me what you want me to do. 	Neutral 50	All right. Straight to the point. I believe that the inhabitants of Vault 22 unlocked the secrets of vegetative growth. 	
 	Save the sales pitch. Just tell me what you want me to do. 	Neutral 50	Plants are spilling from their gate. No one tends them. No one waters them. Yet they multiply and spread in all directions. 	
 	Save the sales pitch. Just tell me what you want me to do. 	Neutral 50	Find the reason for this miraculous growth, and I promise you, the OSI will see that you are generously compensated. 	
 	Yes, I'd say so. 	Neutral 50	A realist. We have that in common. A year ago, I'd have said the same. {playing politics with the player} 	
 	Yes, I'd say so. 	Neutral 50	But what if I was to tell you that the wasteland can yield an endless bounty, and that the secret may lie a mere few miles from where we stand... 	
 	Yes, I'd say so. 	Neutral 50	We need only reach out and take it. And for that, I need you. 	
 	Nothing is impossible. 	Neutral 50	Precisely. Science has proven that truth a thousand times over, but how many wasteland savages believe it? Present company excepted, of course. 	
 	Nothing is impossible. 	Neutral 50	The bounty I described to you is no idle fantasy. It exists, in primitive form, only a few miles from where we stand. 	
 	Nothing is impossible. 	Neutral 50	We need only reach out and unlock its secret. For that, the OSI needs you. 	
 	Get to the point. 	Neutral 50	Fair enough. My point is this. I believe that the inhabitants of Vault 22 unlocked the secrets of vegetative growth. 	
 	All right. I'll do it. 	Neutral 50	Good. No need to check in with the NCR authorities, I can authorize your payment from OSI accounts. {abruptly turns off sales pitch (and the smile) - now he's all business, sealing the deal} 	
 	All right. I'll do it. 	Neutral 50	Vaults typically contain a server room on a lower level, where they would have backed up their research data. A computer room, you understand? {a little condescending on the last sentence} 	
 	All right. I'll do it. 	Neutral 50	Download all the information on the central server to your Pip-Boy. And you'll be certain to bring me any notes or samples that you find, won't you? 	
 	I'll think about it. 	Neutral 50	Very well. I hope you'll consider this an open offer from the OSI. Now, I'm sure your time is valuable, so unless there was anything else... 	
 	Goodbye. 	Neutral 50	Yes... goodbye. {Dismissing the player, turning back to his work} 	
 	Tell me more about the OSI. 	Neutral 50	The Office of Science and Industry. That's a rather expansive topic. I could talk for hours, but I'm sure I'd bore you. 	
 	Tell me more about the OSI. 	Neutral 50	Suffice to say, we are the leading edge of the NCR. Our work focuses on practical matters. Medicine, engineering, biology. 	
 	Tell me more about the OSI. 	Neutral 50	The Dam, for instance. OSI routes its energy supply to our cities in the west. That's only one responsibility of this office. 	
 	Anything else I should know? 	Neutral 50	I thought it was a fairly straightforward assignment. It's a simple question of retrieving the data, which shouldn't prove overly challenging. {fake smile} 	
 	Anything else I should know? 	Neutral 50	Downloading the data will be handled by your Pip-Boy. You might think of yourself as a mere means of conveyance. No insult intended, of course. {Insult *is* intended, though he's smiling condescendingly} 	
 	Actually, I had some other questions. 	Neutral 50	Oh? What might those be? 	
 	Tell me more. 	Neutral 50	Good! I thought I sensed a kindred soul in you, beneath the wasteland veneer. {His sales pitch worked, but he can't help subtly insulting the player at the end} 	
 	Scientific discovery is never so simple as that. 	Neutral 50	Isn't it? One directs one's efforts - or the efforts of others - toward a goal, and progress is made. It's a matter of incentives, nothing more. {He's disagreeing with the player} 	
 	What do you need me to do? 	Neutral 50	I believe that the inhabitants of Vault 22 unlocked the secrets of vegetative growth. 	
 	Well... consider it a down payment on future service. 	Neutral 50	[FAILED] No, I'm sure I won't require your services in the future. The OSI does not enter into long-term arrangements with its contractors. 	
 	Well... consider it a down payment on future service. 	Neutral 50	Of course, we're all very grateful for your efforts, and I'll make certain that you're credited in our final report. Good day to you. 	
 	I've brought the data from Vault 22. 	Neutral 50	Wonderful! Excellent work! Let me see it... it'll take a moment to decode on my terminal... {Surprised that the player actually succeeded} 	
 	Never mind. I'll be back later. 	Neutral 50	You won't keep me in suspense for long, I hope? Of course I can't authorize any payments until I have the data in hand... 	
 	No problem. I can wait. 	Neutral 50	I think... Williams' decryption algorithms seem to be working... {Williams is a character's last name} 	
 	No problem. I can wait. 	Neutral 50	Yes... here it is! The data is mostly uncorrupted. This will make the board of directors finally sit up and take notice... {big personal victory} 	
 	No problem. I can wait. 	Neutral 50	Here, then... as promised. An agreeable sum, payable upon delivery of the data. You've more than done your part. 	
 	By the way... you never warned me about the dangers in that place. 	Neutral 50	Didn't I? Did you encounter undue difficulties? Clearly not, or you wouldn't be standing here, would you? 	
 	By the way... you never warned me about the dangers in that place. 	Neutral 50	All that matters is whether the data is intact... 	
 	Fine. Just give me my reward. 	Neutral 50	I knew you were a reasonable person. Here you are... our agreed-upon sum. 	
 	Glad to be of service. 	Neutral 50	A pleasure working with you, really! I'll make certain that you're mentioned in the final report, you have my word on it. {He's totally lying.} 	
 	I agree, I've more than done my part. You owe me more caps. 	Neutral 50	You want to renegotiate your contract. Mm. This is a very serious matter, you do understand that, don't you? {condescending} 	
 	I agree, I've more than done my part. You owe me more caps. 	Neutral 50	I realize that one's word counts for little in the wasteland, but amongst civilized people, one doesn't just... demand more than one has agreed to. {really condescending} 	
 	Make it fast. I want my caps. 	Neutral 50	If the data's intact, you'll get your reward. I gave my word. I'm not the kind of wasteland savage you're used to dealing with. {slightly contemptuous} 	
 	Damn right. No thanks to you. 	Neutral 50	I'm sorry you feel that way. But we both came out ahead, so... no harm done, I hope. {fake friendliness} 	
 	All right. Then I'll sell this data to some other interested party... 	Neutral 50	[SUCCEEDED] Now... wait a minute... {Getting nervous} 	
 	What contract? You cut an under-the-table deal with me. 	Neutral 50	[SUCCEEDED] You're saying that I didn't file the proper paperwork, is that it? I suppose you're an expert on NCR procedures? 	
 	I'm not the first person you've sent to Vault 22... am I? 	Neutral 50	I never said you were. You've been speaking to Williams, haven't you? {The player is confronting him on a sensitive issue, and he's keeping a poker face.} 	
 	By the way, that Vault was just as dangerous as Williams thought. 	Neutral 50	I don't see how that's relevant. The dangers of the Vault were your business, not mine. The only question is whether the data is still intact. {dismissive} 	
 	By the way, that Vault was just as dangerous as Williams thought. 	Neutral 50	Was it? I'm sure I made it very clear... the hazards of the job were your business, not mine. The important question is whether this data is intact. 	
 	I'm the one asking the questions, Dr. Hildern. 	Neutral 50	Fair enough. Begging your pardon, but this is beginning to feel like an interrogation. {overly polite } 	
 	<Lie> No, Williams didn't tell me anything. 	Neutral 50	All right. I'll take you at your word. Williams didn't say anything at all, you just came to this conclusion on your own. {not obviously sarcastic - should sound like he's trying to be reasonable} 	
 	Yes, I have. What difference does it make? 	Neutral 50	None at all. Informed speculation on my part. Williams is very good at her job, so it remains secure... despite her best efforts. 	
 	Yes, I have. What difference does it make? 	Neutral 50	No, you aren't the first person I've sent to the Vault. I'm sorry that I neglected to tell you, but I don't see how it makes any difference. 	
 	What's your opinion of Williams? 	Neutral 50	Williams is an admirable researcher. If she wasn't, I'd have terminated her contract, and she'd be begging for work from my former employers. 	
 	You're doing all these things yourself? 	Neutral 50	Yes. With the assistance of my team, of course. {taking credit for other people's work} 	
 	NCR has a food shortage? 	Neutral 50	Not yet. But our government understands the value of proactive thought. Our studies project an imbalance between production and consumption. 	
 	NCR has a food shortage? 	Neutral 50	Or, for a layman such as yourself - not enough food, too many mouths to feed. Mass starvation. In a decade or so. {condescending} 	
 	Do you control the Dam from here? 	Neutral 50	Directly? No. But we attempt to maximize its output. You have no idea how difficult it is to provide power to an entire nation. 	
 	Do you control the Dam from here? 	Neutral 50	Fortunately, we also have the HELIOS One facility. One of our external contractors recently got the station up and running. 	
 	Do you control the Dam from here? 	Neutral 50	Fortunately, we also have the HELIOS One facility. One of our external contractors recently got the station up and running. 	
 	Do you control the Dam from here? 	Neutral 50	We were starting to bring the HELIOS One facility online, as well. That might have increased our power output by half. 	
 	Do you control the Dam from here? 	Neutral 50	But some wasteland scum managed to sabotage the array. Probably got quite a laugh at our expense. Very funny indeed. 	
 	Do you control the Dam from here? 	Neutral 50	I'd pay a year's salary for a crack at that maniac. Not that he'd ever show his face in a place like this.

 	Do you control the Dam from here? 	Neutral 50	Our efforts at HELIOS One held a great deal of promise, until some drifter blew in from the waste and managed to reroute the power. 	
 	Do you control the Dam from here? 	Neutral 50	As to where the power is going... who knows. Can you imagine? A drifter outsmarting professional scientists? Only in New Vegas. {shaking his head at end} 	
 	Do you control the Dam from here? 	Neutral 50	We'd hoped that HELIOS One would boost power to McCarran and Vegas. Then some damned crusader routed all the power to Freeside. 	
 	Do you control the Dam from here? 	Neutral 50	I also have high hopes for our HELIOS One facility. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the two "scientists" who are working there. 	
 	Do you control the Dam from here? 	Neutral 50	So far, they've only managed to achieve one percent power output. I'd send help, if I could spare the personnel. 	
 	Do you control the Dam from here? 	Neutral 50	His name was something like... "Exceptional" or "Marvelous" or... 	
 	Do you control the Dam from here? 	Neutral 50	That's the trouble with this wasteland - too many damned variables. No one can account for them all. 	
 	Fantastic. 	Neutral 50	Yes! That was it, exactly. 	
 	No, that was me. I fixed HELIOS One. 	Neutral 50	I... see. Of course you did. {doesn't believe the player, but humoring him.} 	
 	How many others have you sent to the Vault? 	Neutral 50	I'd have to consult my records. Eight? Ten? Your point is what? {nonchalant} 	
 	I prefer to know what I'm getting myself into. 	Neutral 50	You want certainty? You'll never find it... especially not in the pursuit of science. 	
 	Maybe I should cancel our deal. 	Neutral 50	Do whatever you think is best. You're under no obligations. If you want the caps, you'll complete the job. Simple. {trying to sound very reasonable} 	
 	Maybe I should cancel our deal. 	Neutral 50	Take my advice. Forget about Williams. She's a talented researcher, but she doesn't understand people, and she can't see the big picture. {fake encouragement} 	
 	Maybe I should cancel our deal. 	Neutral 50	Now, I know your time is valuable, so I won't waste any more of it. Feel free to show yourself out... 	
 	I want double the caps. Or I spread the word that you're full of shit. 	Neutral 50	[SUCCEEDED] All right. I'll admit that it's been difficult to find anyone willing to enter the Vault. And I'd rather get the data sooner than later. 	
 	I want double the caps. Or I spread the word that you're full of shit. 	Neutral 50	You have a deal. I'll double your reward, if you bring me the data. But this is as high as my budget will allow. 	
 	It doesn't trouble you that you sent eight or ten people to their deaths?	Neutral 50	I have no evidence that they're dead. A thousand things could have happened between here and the Vault. 	
 	It doesn't trouble you that you sent eight or ten people to their deaths?	Neutral 50	They could have changed their minds and walked away. I wouldn't be much of a scientist if I leapt to conclusions without proof. 	
 	Then you broke our agreement. I want double the caps. 	Neutral 50	[FAILED] No. Our agreement was very specific. You bring me the data, I give you a reward. 	
 	Then you broke our agreement. I want double the caps. 	Neutral 50	We never discussed the dangers. That's your business, not mine. If you can't provide the data, I'm sure I'll find someone who can. 	
 	...and make sure you have some healthy competition. 	Neutral 50	There's... there's no need to do anything rash. Naturally, OSI would be willing to negotiate for exclusive rights to that data. {Recomposing himself} 	
 	...and make sure you have some healthy competition. 	Neutral 50	Here. Take these caps. That's all of my contracting budget, and it's yours. {basically bribing the player} 	
 	...and make sure you have some healthy competition. 	Neutral 50	Now, I've... got to get back to work. I'm sure you understand. Exit's over there, you can show yourself out.
