 	 	 	Nothing like the roar of these engines. 	
 	 	 	Still amazed we got this baby running again. 	
 	 	 	Ah. Grease, aviation fuel, and fresh air. The best. 	big sniff/inhale at the start
 	 	 	Need to hit Rucker up, see if they can get some more rivets. 	
 	 	 	"You're flying too low!" "Banking that hard is dangerous!" Babies. 	
 	 	 	I wonder if I can loop this thing. Nah, probably not. Unless... 	
 	 	 	Maintenance is boring. I hope they've got a mission soon. 	
 	 	 	You and me, girl. We're gonna go places. 	
 	 	 	(inhales) Phew. That, uh... Well, it's no Appalachia. 	
 	 	 	Here we are, eh girl? New horizons. 	
 	 	 	This air can't be good for the filters. Or my lungs. 	
 	 	 	Glad she held on the way in. We'll see about the way out... 	
 	 	 	I won't let them get their mitts on you, girl, don't you worry. 	
 	 	 	This Trench ain't so scary. My escape route's right here. Just gotta wait. 	
 	 	 	Shoulda brought a mask... Something don't smell right here. 	
 	 	 	I already found my fortune. Countless horizons, each one prettier than the last. 	
 	 	 	Phew. Not sure what died in this ocean, but there must have been a whole lot of it. 	
 	 	 	Looks like it's only a matter of time before nature takes this place back. Won't that be a sight to see. 	
 	 	 	Hey, what's up? Name's Lennox. 	
 	 	 	Look who's back. 	
 	 	 	Come to admire the bird? She's hot stuff. 	
 	 	 	We going up again? 	
 	 	 	Something you needed, pal? 	
 	 	 	Yo! How's it going? 	
 	 	 	Did an off-the-books supply run over the Yangtze one time. Civilian aircraft - unarmored, right? 	
 	 	 	Flew that sucker through a storm of Chinese artillery and landed safe on the other side, not a scratch on her. 	
 	 	 	You know, people will tell you that a twin-prop strategic airlifter doesn't have the envelope for aerobatic maneuvering. 	
 	 	 	And to that I say: they might be right, but it was a hell of a lot of fun trying it. 	
 	 	 	Knew a fighter pilot. Long gone, but he was a livewire. Told me once about getting caught in a sandstorm over the Gobi. 	
 	 	 	He was flying formation with three other jets when it hit. Came outta nowhere, he said. 	
 	 	 	He ejected - storm messed him up good, but he lived. When the storm cleared, though, his wingmen were just...gone. 	
 	 	 	Nobody ever saw them again, nobody ever found the planes. Desert just swallowed them up. 	
 	 	 	I once spent four hours juking twenty thousand kilos of cargo through the worst thunderstorm I've ever seen. 	
 	 	 	Just all over the place - trying to steer around the worst turbulence, lightning all around. Felt like I'd pissed off God herself. 	
 	 	 	There was the one time I took potshots at a UFO with a pistol out the window of a seaplane. Big glowing thing, keeping pace right alongside us. 	
 	 	 	Must've fired the whole magazine, copilot's yellin' at me, and suddenly I'm just blind. They had to take over and guide us home. 	
 	 	 	Vision came back later that day. Now, my copilot said I was just drunk and started trying to fight the sun, but.. Alien mind control lasers is my bet.	
 	 	 	Yeah, no problem. Hasta luego. 	
 	 	 	You better believe it! 	
 	 	 	One of the Responders said they saw a spaceman the other day. Little gray dude. Aliens, you know? 	
 	 	 	Hell, I saw crap above the clouds you'd never believe, even before the war. Tic-tacs, cigars, discs... 	
 	 	 	Stuff that moved like nothing we had. No way we're alone. Believe it. 	
 	 	 	Hell yeah, I can! I was Air Force, back in the day. Tankers, cargo - I'd fly anything, through hell and fire, no problem. 	
 	 	 	This vertibird's an odd duck - ain't a plane, ain't a chopper - but if you go up with me, just sit back and relax. 	
 	 	 	Never lost my cargo once, human or otherwise. You'll be fine. 	
 	 	 	Yep! I like to be up here to stay with her. It's been a long time since I had a working bird. I don't want anybody messing with her. 	
 	 	 	Suit yourself, pal. 	
 	 	 	Sure thing, buddy, but make it snappy. I got stuff to do. 	
 	 	 	Hey, she might be a used model, but I've got her running right. 	
 	 	 	Probably only a five, maybe twelve percent chance she'll drop out of the sky. Twenty, tops. 	
 	 	 	You got it, bud! And mechanic. You're lookin' at more than a decade of military experience in the sky. 	
 	 	 	What's it look like? This is the closest thing we've got to a hangar for this hot mama. 	
 	 	 	If you need to go somewhere, I'm the one who's gonna take you. As long as Rucker clears it, of course. 	
 	 	 	Just got word from Orlando about that. Well, you know me. I'm happy for any opportunity to get back in the sky. 	
 	 	 	Gather up your passengers and let's get airborne. 	
 	 	 	That if we breathe in the fumes for too long here, we might end up going back a little different than we came. 	
 	 	 	I happen to like myself perfectly good how I am, so try not to linger, ah? 	
 	 	 	Hop in and I'll fire her up. 	
 	 	 	Nothing good. 	
 	 	 	They call it "the Pitt" because no light -- nothing good -- escapes it. Or that's what I heard back in the Refuge. 	The Refuge is a refugee camp in Appalachia
 	 	 	I always thought that was melodramatic, but being here now? Not so sure they're wrong. 	
 	 	 	This place is full of raiders, rads, and mutants. It'll be rough going. 	
 	 	 	Don't overstay your welcome. 	
 	 	 	True to the name, it's where people come to engage in unsavory acts. Gambling, drinking, chems. Just your average party. 	Her kind of party
 	 	 	I'd join in, but I've only got one bird and I need to keep her safe and warm. 	
 	 	 	The Lombardi Family runs the Neapolitan Casino and have their fingers in every pie here. So, don't piss them off. 	Casual and aloof about this very serious fact.
 	 	 	Showman's Pier is down the way, if you follow the water. 	
 	 	 	I hear they put on some pretty impressive acts there. At the cost of sanity and self-preservation. 	
 	 	 	I spotted a few Showmen. You can tell by the stripes and sequins. And the, uh... slightly unhinged aura. They must be fun to drink with. 	
 	 	 	I'd say keep to the rooftops, but I'm not sure that's possible. Might just have to hold your breath and hope there aren't any man-eating water lilies.	
 	 	 	And that's why I prefer heights.

 	 	 	Shoulda brought a mask... Something don't smell right here. 	
 	 	 	We're circling the LZ. Give the word and I'll take us down. 	LZ = landing zone
 	 	 	Ready to land? 	
 	 	 	You ready to get airborne? 	
 	 	 	Come back safe, ah? 	
 	 	 	Don't you worry about me. Worry about yourself. 	
 	 	 	I'll keep the bird in one piece. You take care of business. 	
 	 	 	Stay sharp out there. 	
 	 	 	I'll be ready when the mission is through. 	
 	 	 	Well, let's see... Two arms, two legs, a head full o' good ideas. Bird's lookin' sharp, too. 	The "bird" refers to her Vertibird
 	 	 	Looks like the Trench ain't got nothing on Lennox. 	
 	 	 	Just give me the word when you're through here. 	
 	 	 	That if we breathe in the fumes for too long here, we might end up going back a little different than we came. 	
 	 	 	I happen to like myself perfectly good how I am, so try not to linger, ah?

 	 	 	Don't overstay your welcome. 	
 	 	 	And you can tell me all about it when we get back. 	
 	 	 	Hop in and I'll fire her up. 	
 	 	 	[Vertibird landing sound effect] 	
 	 	 	Touching down. 	
 	 	 	Ha! You and me both. That kind of luxury ain't worth the price tag it comes with. 	Amused and in agreement.
 	 	 	I saw some goon in funny clothes drop you off up there. Would have gone to check on you, but I'm not leaving the bird unattended. 	
 	 	 	Whatever's going on here gives me the heebie-jeebies, and that's saying something. 	
 	 	 	I once dropped off a ranger to let him scout an island. Half a day later, he came sprinting out of the jungle followed by an army of singing crabs. 	
 	 	 	Crabs patterned up with war paint, belting it out like opera singers in the final act. And I swear to God their claws were metal, gleaming in the Sun.	
 	 	 	Never did find out what was happening on that island. The ranger wouldn't speak of it. Poor guy probably never ate seafood again.

 	 	 	Don't you waste a second thought about it. I've had enough adventures of my own. 	
 	 	 	Now I'm just happy for an excuse to take the bird out and soak in the sights from afar. 	
 	 	 	All done exploring? 	
 	 	 	Find anything interesting out there? 	
 	 	 	You ready to get back to Appalachia? 	
 	 	 	Feels like an oven out here. You didn't turn up the heat in the Foundry, did you? 	
 	 	 	Feels oppressive down here. Why don't you finish up so we can get back in the air? 	
 	 	 	I don't know about you, but this place makes me feel like a rat in a hole. 	
 	 	 	Lotsa wise guys 'round here. You take care, alright? 	
 	 	 	Hey! Did you hit the jackpot, or what? 	Enthusiastic, greeting player back from the casino
 	 	 	See any good shows? 	
 	 	 	Not sure what it is, but something ain't right around here. 	
 	 	 	Be careful. One wrong step and you'll be swamp food. 	
 	 	 	So this is where they run the city? Looks like they're drowning in more than just paperwork.	Amused, making a joke

 	 	 	Whoa, hey, now you look interesting. What's up? I'm Lennox. 	
 	 	 	Got your big kid pants on? Ready to fly? 	
 	 	 	Hey hey! You here to chat, or something else on your mind? 	
 	 	 	Ah, don't be a big baby. It'll be fine. 	
 	 	 	Well, if you do find your spine, I'll be here. Just let me know. 	
 	 	 	Now I get my girl ready for takeoff, and you just tell me when you're ready to go. 	
 	 	 	Suit yourself, pal. 	
 	 	 	First place we checked out after we got the old girl working again. Far enough to prove her out, close enough for our fuel. 	
 	 	 	The city's in bad shape. Real bad. Of course, I only saw it from the sky, mostly. I stay with the bird and leave the hiking to others.	
 	 	 	They only shot at us a little when we flew over, not too bad. Nothing she can't handle. 	
 	 	 	We've got a safe LZ now, so that shouldn't happen again. Probably. 	
 	 	 	Fully fueled up, she'll get us there no problem. Us and any friends you want to bring along. 	
 	 	 	And back, in case you were worried about that. Unless someone hits us with an RPG or something. 	
 	 	 	I'm, like, 85% sure that won't happen. 	
 	 	 	Yeah? Right on! About time we made another trip out there. I mean, me and my girl, here. You haven't been, I guess. 	
 	 	 	Rucker said somebody'd be coming by. Guess you're it! 	
 	 	 	If you're all set, I'm ready when you are...assuming you've got the Ultracite Battery Cells for this beauty. 	
 	 	 	I'm a miracle worker in the sky but even I can't make her fly on willpower alone.

 	 	 	Morning, sunshine. Was starting to worry you were out for good. 	
 	 	 	Hey, you. Finally awake? 	
 	 	 	Rise and shine. Bird's ready to go when you are. 	
 	 	 	You got everything? I didn't like the look of that goon who dropped you off. 	
 	 	 	I take it you're done here. Unless you wanna go get knocked unconscious again? 	
 	 	 	Remember, any time you want to take a trip, we're gonna need a full load of those Ultracite Battery Cells to power this beauty.	
 	 	 	If you need more, check with those busibodies downstairs you got this batch from. There's always something they need every day.	
 	 	 	I'll be here when you're ready to go.
