 	 	 	Rusty is... was my dog. Had him since he was a puppy. He was my best friend. Maybe my only friend. 	Telling a story. Reliving a traumatic event. Their dog died.
 	 	 	Well, it's a bit complicated, but I'll tell you if you're sure you want to hear about it. 	Timid/apologetic. They don't want to bore the player but their story is very sad and important to them.
 	 	 	When the Fanatics caught me Rusty tried to defend me. I got away but... Rusty didn't. 	Telling a story. Reliving a traumatic event. Their dog died.
 	 	 	I couldn't even go back for his body. 	Telling a story. Reliving a traumatic event. Their dog died.
 	 	 	The holotape is the only memento I have left of Rusty. I used to record little snippets of our life together. You know, happy memories. 	Telling a story. Reliving a traumatic event. Their dog died.
 	 	 	I'm still getting to that. You see Rusty was my dog. Had him since he was a puppy. He was my best friend. Maybe my only friend. 	Telling a story. Reliving a traumatic event. Their dog died.
 	 	 	I'm a refugee here. I only escaped from The Pitt a few weeks ago. 	
 	 	 	I thought maybe if I copied the data off my holotape I could somehow make a copy of Rusty. 	Embarrassed/despair. Telling a story.
 	 	 	But then the tape got jammed and the robot broke and I think I really screwed this up. 	Telling a story and getting to how they got into this mess. A bit of rising panic as they get back to being in trouble.
 	 	 	I barely made it. Fanatic hunters caught up to me crossing the Monongahela. 	Telling a story. Reliving a traumatic event
 	 	 	I nearly lost everything during the chase. I would have lost my life too if not for Rusty. 	Telling a story. Reliving a traumatic event
 	 	 	I tried to load a holotape into one of the robots here. I know I shouldn't have, but I did. 	Explaining how they screwed up. Nervous/timid
 	 	 	The tape got jammed and the robot shut down and I don't know how to fix it! 	Reliving a major screw up and getting a bit worked up. They blame themselves.
 	 	 	I'm so worried I'm going to get in trouble. I have nowhere else to go if I get kicked out of the Whitespring! 	Despair/worry. They think their screw up might get them kicked out of their home.
 	 	 	The holotape has my only memories of Rusty, okay?! It's recordings of my dead dog! 	This character is normally timid but briefly snaps in anger at the player's dismissal of their tragic story.
 	 	 	Sure. That's okay. What really matters is that the holotape is very important to me. 	Disappointed but understanding. Player doesn't want to hear the story but the character wants to make sure they understand the tape is important
 	 	 	It was in the Clinic area when it broke. If you hurry it should still be there. 	
 	 	 	It's in the main Lobby. There's a lot of traffic through there but I don't think anyone has noticed the broken robot yet. 	
 	 	 	It's in the dining area, near the Kitchen. I think the Responders there are so focused on their meals they haven't noticed the broken robot yet.	
 	 	 	It's in the Responders H.Q. area. Rucker and the Responders have been so busy lately I don't think they've noticed the broken robot there yet. 	
 	 	 	It's in the Rec Room. Hopefully the board games there are keeping everyone distracted so they won't noticed the broken robot. 	
 	 	 	The robot broke down on the first floor of the west wing so it should still be downstairs. 	
 	 	 	The robot broke down on the third floor of the west wing so it should still be upstairs. 	
 	 	 	The robot broke down on the second floor of the west wing. Not a lot of people go back there so it probably hasn't been noticed yet. 	
 	 	 	When you're fixing the robot, if you are able to recover the tape for me I would really appreciate it. 	They really want the player to rescue the tape but are timid/worried about asking for too much.
 	 	 	Thank you so much! I'll wait here for you. 	
 	 	 	It's just over there. I was looking for help but didn't want to stray too far in case something happened to it while I was gone. 	
 	 	 	It's in the Common Room. It's a big area with a lot going on so I don't think anyone has noticed the broken robot yet. 	
 	 	 	I'm really sorry to bother you, but do you know anything about fixing robots? 	Desperate for help but also a bit timid. Doesn't want to bother people but really needs help.
 	 	 	Oh, thank goodness you're back! 	Eager/desperate. Hoping the player is coming back with good news.
 	 	 	Thank you so much for everything you've done for me. I'll never be that foolish again! 	Very grateful. The player saved the day for them.
 	 	 	Thanks for fixing things, but I... I really need to be alone now. 	Trying to show gratitude but they just lost something precious forever and are heartbroken
 	 	 	 	
 	 	 	And if you are able to get the holotape back I'd really, really appreciate it! 	
 	 	 	It's is in the Common Room. It's a big area with a lot going on so I don't think anyone has noticed the broken robot yet. 	
 	 	 	I don't have a lot so it's not much, but please take this as my way of saying thank you. 	
 	Sorry. The holotape got destroyed. 	 	Oh God! Rusty, I'm so sorry. It feels like I'm losing you all over again. 	Despair. They've lost something precious forever and they blame themselves.
 	Sorry. The holotape got destroyed. 	 	Still, you helped me out when you didn't need to and fixed the robot. 	Sadness/despair but trying to be brave and thank the player for trying to help.
 	Today's your lucky day! I got the holotape. 	 	I can't believe it! I was so worried I'd lost it forever. 	Happy/relief. They just got back something precious they thought they lost.
 	Remind me, where was that robot again? 	 	Yeah, this place is huge. It took me weeks to remember where everything was too. 	Character is a little overwhelmed so understands that the player probably doesn't know where everything is yet either.
 	Not yet. 	 	Please hurry! I don't want anyone to find out I broke it. 	Desperate. Trying to convey how serious this is to them without being pushy.
 	Not only that, I got your holotape back too! 	 	Oh my God! Thank you so, so much! 	Ecstatic/Relief. The problem is solved.
 	All fixed! You're in the clear. 	 	Thank you! That's such a relief. And... were you able to save my holotape? 	Happy/relief. Hopeful that the player also got the tape.
 	 	 	Were you able to fix the robot? 	Eager. Hoping the answer is yes.
 	You get what you get, and you don't get upset. 	 	Oh... I see. Okay. I understand. Thank you. 	Defeated/timid. The player has basically said "don't get your hopes up" but they don't have any other options other to hope the player helps.
 	Nope, sorry. This is already more than I signed up for. 	 	Oh... I see. Okay. I understand. Thank you. 	
 	Sure. What is it? 	 	When you're fixing the robot, if you are able to recover the tape for me I would really appreciate it. 	
 	 	 	Wait, before you go I've got one more favor to ask! 	
 	 	 	The robot broke down on the third floor of the Construction wing so it should still be upstairs. 	
 	 	 	The robot broke down on the second floor of the Construction wing. Not a lot of people go back there so it probably hasn't been noticed yet. 	
 	 	 	It's just over there. I was looking for help but didn't want to stray too far in case something happened to it while I was gone. 	
 	This is too much. You're on your own. 	 	Seriously? Please, I don't know how to fix it and I need your help! 	Shocked that after fully explaining their desperation the player is refusing to help.
 	Why did you put the holotape in a robot? 	 	It seems so silly now, but I'd read stories about people downloading their personalities into robots in Astoundingly Awesome Tales magazines. 	Embarrassed after trying something that was kind of dumb and having it blow up in their face. Nervous/timid.
 	Wow! Okay. Where can I find this robot? 	 	Unless someone's moved it, the robot should still be right where I left it. 	
 	 	 	When the Fanatics caught me Rusty tried to defend me. I got away but... Rusty didn't. 	
 	 	 	I couldn't even go back for his body. 	
 	 	 	The holotape is the only memento I have left of Rusty. I used to record little snippets of our life together. You know, happy memories. 	
 	Boo hoo! I don't need your sob story. Just tell me what was on the holotape.	 	The holotape has my only memories of Rusty, okay?! It's recordings of my dead dog! 	
 	That's awful. But what does that have to do with the holotape? 	 	I'm still getting to that. You see Rusty was my dog. Had him since he was a puppy. He was my best friend. Maybe my only friend. 	
 	Who's Rusty? 	 	Rusty is... was my dog. Had him since he was a puppy. He was my best friend. Maybe my only friend. 	
 	 	 	I barely made it. Fanatic hunters caught up to me crossing the Monongahela. 	
 	 	 	I nearly lost everything during the chase. I would have lost my life too if not for Rusty. 	
 	I believe the technical term for this situation is "clusterfuck". 	 	I know! I'm so screwed! I really need your help! 	Despair/panic.
 	Yeah, that probably wasn't the best idea. 	 	Please! I just want to fix this before anyone finds out! 	Worried about how much trouble they might get into and hope to fix it before that happens.
 	I don't think they'll kick you out for that. 	 	Really? You think they'd let me stay even after that? 	Shocked and relieved. They're used to harsh treatment and are a little surprised someone would be merciful.
 	I don't think they'll kick you out for that. 	 	I still want to fix this before anyone finds out! 	Relieved that they might not get into trouble but they still want to fix the problem.
 	On second thought, it doesn't really matter. 	 	Sure. That's okay. What really matters is that the holotape is very important to me. 	
 	Tell me. 	 	I'm a refugee here. I only escaped from The Pitt a few weeks ago. 	
 	Hold on. What was on this holotape? 	 	Well, it's a bit complicated, but I'll tell you if you're sure you want to hear about it. 	
 	Why would you get kicked out of the Whitespring? 	 	Because I didn't ask permission to touch the robot. And then I broke it! 	Nervous/timid. They know they've screwed up and are worried about how much trouble they might get into.
 	Where can I find this broken robot? 	 	When the robot broke I didn't know what to do so I left it right where it was. 	
 	 	 	I tried to load a holotape into one of the robots here. I know I shouldn't have, but I did. 	
 	 	 	The tape got jammed and the robot shut down and I don't know how to fix it! 	
 	 	 	I'm so worried I'm going to get in trouble. I have nowhere else to go if I get kicked out of the Whitespring! 	
 	Sorry. I don't want to be involved in this. 	 	But... I don't know how to fix it myself. Please! If you have a change of heart come find me! 	
 	Don't worry. These robots get busted up all the time. 	 	No, you don't understand. 	Worried about how bad they screwed up and feeling like the player isn't "getting it" or is being dismissive of their problem.
 	Calm down. I can help you. 	 	Oh, thank God! And thank you! 	
 	Tell me what happened. 	 	Okay. It started like this. 	
 	 	 	I screwed up real bad! I think I might have broke one of the robots here and I don't know how to fix it! 	Worried and just a bit timid.
 	Not now. I'm busy. 	 	I really need some help! Please come find me if you change your mind. 	
 	You seem upset. Is something wrong? 	 	Yes, I am! I really need someone to help me. 	
 	Not really, but I never turn down a job. 	 	I really hope you can help me! 	
 	I've never met a robot I couldn't fix! 	 	What a relief! I really need your help. 	
 	 	 	I need someone to help me. Please, does anyone here know how to fix a robot? 	Desperate, but also a bit timid. Character really needs help but is also worried about bothering people.
 	 	 	Oh, Rusty! I don't know what I'll do if I've lost that tape forever! 	Talking to self. Character has lost their only memento of their dead dog and is worried.
 	 	 	Oh no, no, no! How could I be so stupid! 	Talking to self. Beating themselves up for doing something that might have caused them to lose a precious memento forever.
 	Broken robot? I think I actually stumbled across it already. 	 	You did? Oh geez, I was hoping it wasn't that noticeable. I really need your help! 	A bit nervous. They were hoping people wouldn't notice their mistake.
