 	GREETING 	Neutral 50 	{Watching the perimeter of the temple, in combat} Not now. Let's settle things here. 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50 	{Watching the perimeter of the temple} If we're done here, let's leave the Divide behind. If we get separated, I'll meet you above Hopeville, near the Canyon Wreckage. 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50 	{Remarked} Full circle, walked your road - now back again. 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50 	{Keep low-key, this line will be heard a lot} Something else in you needing an answer? 	
 	GREETING 	Neutral 50 	 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	You may not know my voice, but we've walked the same places. The Long 15 to Primm... that wasn't the only road you ever walked.{No Sound File} 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	I've been to your home, the place you kept returning to... may not be the place you were born, was the place you gave life to, same thing. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	People forget couriers can keep communities alive... until the day they're gone, and their breath catches in their throat. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	For now, eyes alert, watch the streets below. There's still life in the Divide - threats other than the storms and wind... new inhabitants.{No Sound File} 	
 	 	Anger 50 	Heard tales of you walking the Mojave. Casting off your disguise... yet you carried that Chip, determined to take it to Vegas... not Caesar.{No Sound File} 	
 	 	Disgust 50 	You and that Chip deserve each other, 29 fewer coins than other traitors have carried, by history's mark. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	{Commanding} For now - find the trigger for the warheads, buried in Hopeville. Use it to keep moving... and keep alive. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	They'll start emerging throughout the Mojave in time, might be years. Probably less.{No sound file} 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	They breed fast, hunt in groups, more than enough to bring down the strongest in the Mojave. Once they draw blood... 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	Seen them tear apart Deathclaws... Deathclaw might get some, but the rest will swarm it, tear it apart, like Denver hounds. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	Walked the East, too, before the Bull came. Then... much like the Mojave before the Bear... tribes, towns, clutching to life. Bull did a better job. 	
 	Maybe you better tell me who you are, and what you want. 	Neutral 50 	{Slow, cold} I'm a courier. {Beat} Courier Six... was Courier Six. Like you - and {emph} not like you, in all the ways that matter.{No sound file} 	
 	Maybe you better tell me who you are, and what you want. 	Anger 50 	{Low, slight threat} Spent too many years looking for you - now, letting you come to me. 	
 	Maybe you better tell me who you are, and what you want. 	Neutral 50 	Thought carrying that Chip would end you, no... you got lives in you, hard to kill. Storms, bullets... sand and wind, yet still you walk. For now. 	
 	How are you speaking through ED-E? 	Neutral 50 	{Disgust} The idea of a machine bearing a message new to you? Thought that was how House relayed all his messages... {disdain} through his robots.{No sound file} 	
 	Last I heard, Legion didn't use machines as mouthpieces to hide from their enemy. 	Neutral 50 	{"You're hiding behind a machine," and Ulysses isn't sure what the player means at first} The machine... the robot. No, not Legion... less history than that.{No sound file} 	
 	How are you speaking through ED-E? 	Neutral 50 	{Frowns} The robot with {emph} you... {Beat, explains, disgust, hates ED-E} all of them are machines - radios, Old World tech reshaped with new hands. Historians. Couriers, carrying messages.{No sound file} 	
 	How are you speaking through ED-E? 	Neutral 50 	Seen them as I've walked the Divide, tending other machines. {Frowns} That one... sealed inside the Hopeville silo. {Beat to himself} Sign America is waking up. 	
 	How are you speaking through ED-E? 	Anger 50 	{Cold, authoritative, hates ED-E} It will follow you, obey you. {Beat, low} Carry it until we are face to face, then there'll be no more need for it to carry {emph} my words. 	
 	The damage here looks like it was caused by underground detonations - on a scale I've never seen. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} [SUCCEEDED] America sleeps in the Divide - giants, beneath the earth. You saw one locked in the silo beneath you. {Beat, cold} There's more.{No sound file} 	
 	The damage here looks like it was caused by underground detonations - on a scale I've never seen. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} Only takes a few of them, locked below ground, to tear apart the earth... and cast dust, sand... ash... into the skies above. 	
 	There's something left down there? Town looks like it was bombed. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} [FAILED] Wasn't always like this. Old World wreckage's nothing new... after that, something you had your hand in - you'll walk it soon enough.{No sound file} 	
 	What is this place? 	Neutral 50 	The Divide... this place is a slice of it. Old military. Can still smell the pride - and the fear.{No sound file} 	
 	What is this place? 	Neutral 50 	{Introspective} Hope of the Old World, wrapped in fencing, covered in storm. Got new inhabitants now other than ghosts, more recent... recruits. 	
 	Are those the bodies I saw in the silo? The soldiers that look like they'd been flayed? 	Neutral 50 	If you saw their corpses, you saw mercy. Got what they deserved, coming to the Divide.{No sound file} 	
 	Are those the bodies I saw in the silo? The soldiers that look like they'd been flayed? 	Neutral 50 	The Bear and Bull - NCR, Legion - came in waves. Before. And after. Right into the invisible fires... the wind, ground... collapsing beneath them. 	
 	Are those the bodies I saw in the silo? The soldiers that look like they'd been flayed? 	Neutral 50 	Once under different flags, now they are equal in their hatred of the trespassers. You and I. 	
 	Enough talking. You went to a lot of trouble to lure me here, so let's get on with this. 	Neutral 50 	{Cold, introspective} America sleeps ahead of you, its nightmares filled with quakes, storms. You'll need to find your own path.{No sound file} 	
 	Enough talking. You went to a lot of trouble to lure me here, so let's get on with this. 	Neutral 50 	That means waking America's spears up from their slumber. There's ways - warheads set off the collapse, {beat} warheads could open the gates again. 	
 	Enough talking. You went to a lot of trouble to lure me here, so let's get on with this. 	Neutral 50 	{Challenge} You're resourceful. {Disgust for machine} That machine, robot with you - can help you find the warheads you need to destroy... {a little slower, quest object} and their trigger, the detonator. 	
 	Enough talking. You went to a lot of trouble to lure me here, so let's get on with this. 	Neutral 50 	The way ahead is below. The tools are there. The rest - up to you. 	
 	What were the creatures in the underpass? 	Neutral 50 	Tunnelers. Predators that make their own roads beneath the ground here.{No sound file} 	
 	What were the creatures in the underpass? 	Neutral 50 	{Somber} Divide broke their sky, showed them the world above - and the scent of new prey. 	
 	What were the creatures in the underpass? 	Neutral 50 	Be a slower death for the Mojave than bombs and fire... but they'll come for its people, from where they least expect - below. 	
 	I'm not planning to go into the Divide after you. 	Neutral 50 	No Courier would go to the Divide... but you will. And that's what sets us apart - we walk roads no other Courier will walk.{No sound file} 	
 	I'm not planning to go into the Divide after you. 	Neutral 50 	And for you... you'll want to see your home one last time, see what happened. 	
 	I'm not planning to go into the Divide after you. 	Neutral 50 	You're curious. You walk, leave ruin in your path... you can't leave alone. Still, the choice is yours... what I offer, it's the last I offer you. 	
 	I'm not planning to go into the Divide after you. 	Neutral 50 	I don't care if you walk the Divide. Turn, walk the Mojave, fight beneath the flags... but you'll wonder. 	
 	I'm not planning to go into the Divide after you. 	Neutral 50 	If you don't, the Divide will come to you, and the Mojave. That will be my message to you, like the message you had for me. 	
 	Fine. I'll find this trigger - then I'll come find you. 	Neutral 50 	The Divide will send its worst against you - it may break you. We'll see if you're stronger.{No sound file} 	
 	Fine. I'll find this trigger - then I'll come find you. 	Neutral 50 	Road gets rougher from here... {slight disdain} Courier. Left marks for you, colors'll tell the way - if you're smart. 	
 	Fine. I'll find this trigger - then I'll come find you. 	Neutral 50 	They'll lead you to your home one more time, lead to the ending of it - {slow, cold} maybe remind you why you wander. 	
 	[Legion] Those Legionnaires in Hopeville wore Legion armor - and strange masks and blades. 	Neutral 50 	{Quieter} You haven't seen enough of the Legion yet to see what they worship... what they hold on to, even after what happened to them.{No sound file} 	
 	Those Marked Men in Hopeville - some had strange masks and blades I'd never seen before. 	Neutral 50 	They bear false versions of Legate Lanius' mask, the one Caesar fashioned for him. Thought it was an insult at first.... {to himself} know better now.{No sound file} 	
 	Those Marked Men in Hopeville - some had strange masks and blades I'd never seen before. 	Neutral 50 	It's shaped from Divide metal, not with care and strength, but with hate. Keeps them anchored. 	
 	Those Marked Men in Hopeville - some had strange masks and blades I'd never seen before. 	Neutral 50 	Crude, effective - like the blades they carry, distant mirrors of their Legate. A symbol they can hold on to - while the Divide tears at them. 	
 	[NCR] Those soldiers in Hopeville... were once NCR, I'm sure of it. Why were they with the Legion? 	Neutral 50 	{Quieter} You see true. Not scavengers... it's what they wore {slight beat} before this all happened.{No sound file} 	
 	Some of the flayed Hopeville soldiers looked like NCR... but fought beside others in Legion armor. 	Neutral 50 	Pain makes for strange allies... the hate the Bear and Bull shared across the battlefield, now turned against the Divide. Few survived... intact.{No sound file} 	
 	Some of the flayed Hopeville soldiers looked like NCR... but fought beside others in Legion armor. 	Neutral 50 	Many NCR were already here when the destruction happened. Keeping the route East open, in fear of Caesar. Fear of the Legion. 	
 	If this is the High Road... where does it lead? 	Neutral 50 	At the end of the High Road lies Ashton - its silo. 	
 	If this is the High Road... where does it lead? 	Neutral 50 	{Disgust, hates ED-E} That {emph} machine with you, it can open it, wake it up, {quieter} like it did the one in Hopeville. 	
 	When you say, "slower death for the Mojave," you mean they're spreading out from the Divide. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Nod} Death'll come from below. {Frowns} In the Divide, need to watch the sky {emph} and ground... {Dismissive, shakes head} Mojave'll be easy prey for them. 	
 	What did you mean, "slower death for the Mojave?" 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] Mojave needs to survive itself first... does that, Tunnelers will be next on the list. 	
 	You wouldn't have recorded those messages if they didn't matter to you. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Hesitant} Maybe not. {Beat} Who's to say. 	
 	You wouldn't have recorded those messages if they didn't matter to you. 	Neutral 50 	{Answers his own question, more to himself} You, perhaps. Found them, heard them after I cast them aside - maybe there was purpose in that. 	
 	You wouldn't have recorded those messages if they didn't matter to you. 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet, downnote} If they matter... if history matters... we'll see at the end of the road. 	
 	So... what, they weren't that important then? 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] {Dismissive} Words lost to history. {Beat, to himself, as if trying to convince himself of this} Wouldn't have left them on the road otherwise. 	
 	I was never a Legion agent. 	Neutral 50 	I know that now. Doesn't change what was done. The Legion who died here. 	
 	I was never a Legion agent. 	Neutral 50 	Even if you were Legion, you would answer for those deaths by Caesar's law. 	
 	I haven't listened to them all. If there's time, I will. 	Neutral 50 	As I said before... it's of no consequence. Never intended you to find them, never intended you to {emph} hear them. 	
 	I haven't listened to them all. If there's time, I will. 	Neutral 50 	Questions in those tapes I still haven't found answers to. You won't be the one to give them. 	
 	If you saw this happen, then how did you survive? 	Neutral 50 	{Disgust, bitter, implication is that he wanted to die there} Should've died there... but now that I know you live... {bitter} the machines here... {implied quotes} saved me. I was the only survivor, {to himself} or thought I was.	
 	If you saw this happen, then how did you survive? 	Neutral 50 	Your package, the message inside, awoke medical machines... close to the one that shadows you... began to build themselves, then others. 	
 	If you saw this happen, then how did you survive? 	Neutral 50 	They only take what parts they find in the Divide, never roam beyond it - can't even leave the silos without a human to shadow, like hounds. 	
 	If you saw this happen, then how did you survive? 	Neutral 50 	Maybe they saw the flag on my jacket, thought I was of America. If so, history saved me. A sign. 	
 	This canyon is miles long - maybe longer. Where can I find you? 	Neutral 50 	At the end of the Divide, through the trenches and wreckage - that's where you'll find me. My new home, here, amongst dead men.{No sound file} 	
 	This canyon is miles long - maybe longer. Where can I find you? 	Neutral 50 	You and that {slight sneer at 'machine'} machine, keep your eyes on the tower that cuts the horizon... you'll find your way. Made it this far... not much farther to go. 	
 	What happened here? 	Neutral 50 	You delivered a package. Had markings that matched those in the Divide. Not all... but enough. 	
 	What happened here? 	Neutral 50 	Military markings, from some place the Bear had savaged in the West. {Beat, trying to draw player out here} Maybe seeing those markings on it reminded you of home... made you carry it. 	
 	Forget this. What do you want? 	Neutral 50 	An ending. To this road, you and I. First, you need to find your way. At the end, I'll be waiting.{No sound file} 	
 	Inhabitants? It doesn't look like anyone's alive down there. 	Neutral 50 	These new inhabitants... not natives... most of them. Came with duty, purpose... ready to kill each other. {Beat, a little quieter} The Divide was stronger.{No sound file} 	
 	Inhabitants? It doesn't look like anyone's alive down there. 	Neutral 50 	{Introspective, cont} Left marks on them, too. Not Bear, not Bull - now... radiation's marked them, made them equal in history's eyes. 	
 	Inhabitants? It doesn't look like anyone's alive down there. 	Neutral 50 	As vicious as the storms are, these shadows of Legion, of NCR - {"they are"} silhouettes of things to come. 	
 	[NCR] Those bodies in the silo were NCR soldiers... some special forces. 	Neutral 50 	Might have been. Once. To the Divide they came... in the Divide, they rest.{No sound file} 	
 	[Legion] The dead in the silo, some were Legion Frumentarii, scouts. Assassins. 	Neutral 50 	Might have been. Once. To the Divide they came... in the Divide, they rest.{No sound file} 	
 	You were supposed to carry the Chip? 	Neutral 50 	Meant to? No. Never. {Emph} Your burden.{No sound file} 	
 	You were supposed to carry the Chip? 	Neutral 50 	Weigh you down long enough to let death catch up to you... but you survived. 	
 	You were supposed to carry the Chip? 	Neutral 50 	There was death in that package, and while the Chip is important to Old World ghosts... no, you are more dangerous than that Chip ever could be. 	
 	You were supposed to carry the Chip? 	Neutral 50 	{Reflective} Maybe why you found each other, little piece of the Old World, speaking to you, waiting for you to wake something else up with it. 	
 	We've never spoken before - I'd remember your voice. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] Words aren't the only way couriers meet... sometimes it's the paths we walk. But no... we've never spoken before now.{No sound file} 	
 	It sounds like you know me, but I've never met you. 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] {Disgust, slight dismissive} I know you. What we have in common, though, isn't in the words we traded.{No sound file} 	
 	So you refused to deliver the Chip - what, to set me up to die? 	Neutral 50 	{Cold} We {emph} all have death following us, only a question of how close. You dodged it - for a time. {Disdain} You're good at that, talent for it.{No sound file} 	
 	So you refused to deliver the Chip - what, to set me up to die? 	Neutral 50 	With that Chip weighing you down... a burden, lets death move a little faster without me pulling the trigger. 	
 	If you wanted me dead, why did you wait? 	Neutral 50 	Promises to keep. To others. And the Mojave's dangerous enough - left to the land, the land has its way.{No sound file} 	
 	If you wanted me dead, why did you wait? 	Neutral 50 	If I wanted you dead, we would have met sooner. Not sure that's the way this ends. 	
 	If you wanted me dead, why did you wait? 	Neutral 50 	{Quieter} Might be that history needs to have its say. If not, then messages will do. 	
 	I've never seen corpses mutilated like that. 	Neutral 50 	Even as the fires here burned them from within... the winds of the Divide tore their skin, exposed them... screaming... to the sky.{No sound file} 	
 	I've never seen corpses mutilated like that. 	Neutral 50 	And just as the Divide tears at them, so they tear at each other, for sport - like some tribal scarification. {Beat, to himself, referring to Legion origins} Falling back to their history, maybe. 	
 	I've never seen corpses mutilated like that. 	Neutral 50 	{Quieter} No matter what they suffer... {Reflective} the radiation, fire of the Divide, sustains them. Makes them stronger. 	
 	If they've become ghouls, the radiation would strengthen them. Heal their wounds - not the scars. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} [SUCCEEDED] {Nods, agreeing} There's truth in your words, {and} in what I've seen of their tactics, movements - recovery. Those wounds - they couldn't live otherwise.{No sound file} 	
 	If they've become ghouls, the radiation would strengthen them. Heal their wounds - not the scars. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} The Divide winds have torn the skin from many of them - {beat} may be the radiation is the only thing keeping them walking. 	
 	If they've become ghouls, the radiation would strengthen them. Heal their wounds - not the scars. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} Make camp near silos... warheads. {Thinking to himself} No way to cleanse the radiation - makes them hard to kill there, have to draw them out. 	
 	The rads in this place seem like they would do more damage to them. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} [FAILED] They're more beasts than men now. They clutch at their pain as they clutch at their weapons... anchors them.{No sound file} 	
 	Radiation may keep them alive in areas so physically punishing, it would kill others - even ghouls.	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Nods, agreeing} There's truth in your words, {and} in what I've seen of their tactics, movements - recovery. Those wounds - they couldn't live otherwise.{No sound file} 	
 	Radiation may keep them alive in areas so physically punishing, it would kill others - even ghouls.	Neutral 50 	The Divide winds have torn the skin from many of them - {beat} may be the radiation is the only thing keeping them walking. 	
 	Radiation may keep them alive in areas so physically punishing, it would kill others - even ghouls.	Neutral 50 	Make camp near silos... warheads. {Thinking to himself} No way to cleanse the radiation - makes them hard to kill there, have to draw them out. 	
 	Why would they want to stay here if this place is killing them? 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] They're more beasts than men now. They clutch at their pain as they clutch at their weapons... anchors them.{No sound file} 	
 	Area looks like it was hit with earthquakes... or underground detonations. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] America sleeps in the Divide - giants, beneath the earth. You saw one locked in the silo beneath you. {Beat, cold} There's more.{No sound file} 	
 	Area looks like it was hit with earthquakes... or underground detonations. 	Neutral 50 	Only takes a few of them, locked below ground, to tear apart the earth... and cast dust, sand... ash... into the skies above. 	
 	Area looks like it was hit with earthquakes... or underground detonations. 	Neutral 50 	{Slight accusation} You'll see the extent - the miles of it, soon enough. You need to see it... walk it. 	
 	What's here? This place looks wrecked. 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] Wasn't always like this. Old World wreckage's nothing new... after that, something you had your hand in - you'll walk it soon enough.{No sound file} 	
 	Other Marked Men had NCR gear - and they weren't carrying masks or blades. 	Neutral 50 	For the two-headed Bear... NCR... they don't have symbols in the same way Legion does.{No sound file} 	
 	Other Marked Men had NCR gear - and they weren't carrying masks or blades. 	Neutral 50 	They revere their mines and explosives, guns... {emph} that is their religion - {disgust} death from afar, take pride in it. 	
 	So you're the one who sent the radio message - Ulysses. 	Neutral 50 	{Conceding to player's request, a little less challenging. "My name is..."} Not my given name, close enough.{No sound file} 	
 	So you're the one who sent the radio message - Ulysses. 	Neutral 50 	Took it from history, found it in a book. It's an Old World name. 	
 	So you're the one who sent the radio message - Ulysses. 	Neutral 50 	Ulysses lived a long time ago, long before the Old World set fire to itself. He made a mark without being myth. 	
 	So you're the one who sent the radio message - Ulysses. 	Neutral 50 	Had to fight during a time when his world had two flags, and he had to make them one. 	
 	"Ulysses." Not the myth. You're honoring history, not stories. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Conceding to player's request, a little less challenging. "Is this about history?"} History. Yes.{No sound file} 	
 	"Ulysses." Not the myth. You're honoring history, not stories. 	Neutral 50 	Ulysses walked a hard road. A general, like Caesar and Oliver. He was Brahmin-stubborn, gave him strength on the battlefield. 	
 	"Ulysses." Not the myth. You're honoring history, not stories. 	Neutral 50 	He led his side to victory, turned two flags into one. {Frowns} That's when {emph} he lost - when the fighting was done, the sickness took hold. 	
 	"Ulysses." Not the myth. You're honoring history, not stories. 	Neutral 50 	Lesson there, if history's to be believed. One you should heed. 	
 	Ulysses... that sounds like a Legion name... a Legion hero? 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] {Disdain} Search history, might find meaning in it.{No sound file} 	
 	Ulysses... that sounds like a Legion name... a Legion hero? 	Neutral 50 	It's just a name - you have {emph} no idea who I am. {Beat, dismissive} You'll know by the end. 	
 	You chose Ulysses because of the "two flags" reference - is that tied to the war in the Mojave? 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Conceding to player's request, a little less challenging. "This is about the war, right?"} War. Call it that. {Correcting, Emph} Our part in it.{No sound file} 	
 	You chose Ulysses because of the "two flags" reference - is that tied to the war in the Mojave? 	Neutral 50 	Ulysses wasn't made for the flag he followed. He wasn't made for peace. That's the lesson. 	
 	You chose Ulysses because of the "two flags" reference - is that tied to the war in the Mojave? 	Neutral 50 	If you follow a symbol to the end, ask yourself what that means. More important, ask what happens {emph} after the end. 	
 	So... this is about fighting? Or...? 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] {Emph} Fighting? {Disdain} Yes... but different weapons than you're used to.{No sound file} 	
 	So... this is about fighting? Or...? 	Neutral 50 	You're wasting time. Stalling. Won't help you. 	
 	You brought me here to talk. If you wanted to kill me, you'd have waited until I came for the Chip.	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Slight sneer} No... no, I couldn't. And I'm thinking you can't kill me, either. If you did, you'd answer for it, just as I would.{No sound file} 	
 	You brought me here to talk. If you wanted to kill me, you'd have waited until I came for the Chip.	Neutral 50 	{Cold} Let the land do the killing for you, that's one of the things you taught me. 	
 	You brought me here to talk. If you wanted to kill me, you'd have waited until I came for the Chip.	Neutral 50 	Killing is personal - so's vows, promises. Last bit's more important to me than the first. 	
 	Look, we don't need to fight about this - we can talk this out, right? 	Disgust 50 	[FAILED] {Disgust, dismisses player} Talking... words won't settle this. The Road will. And the end.{No sound file} 	
 	Wait... so you swore not to kill me? Why? 	Neutral 50 	{Smile/sneer} What kind of world would this be if Courier killed Courier.{No sound file} 	
 	Wait... so you swore not to kill me? Why? 	Neutral 50 	You've got enough distance ahead of you - save your breath for the road, don't waste it on words. 	
 	Forget your name. Back to the job you refused. 	Disgust 50 	{Disdain, dismissive} All right... Courier. If the why of it matters to you.{No sound file} 	
 	Brothers? So - you're Legion, too. 	Neutral 50 	I hold Legion to be my brothers... even as misguided as they are. And you... more so than most.{No sound file} 	
 	A woman in the Legion surprise you? 	Neutral 50 	It's not Legion - the Legion I know, but they change, even in small ways as they march West, with every tribe they break. 	
 	A woman in the Legion surprise you? 	Disgust 50 	{Dismissive} But yes... last I heard, you needed a weapon between your legs to carry one for Caesar. 	
 	Is that why you're not Legion anymore, then? 	Neutral 50 	{Slight surprise} What do you m... {"mean," then chuckles} I see the way of it. Have fight in you, at least. Save it for the road ahead.{No sound file} 	
 	Is New Vegas's power a threat to you? 	Disgust 50 	{Dismissive} Power isn't strength. Power can wall off someone, when they {slight emph} believe it's freed them.{No sound file} 	
 	Is New Vegas's power a threat to you? 	Neutral 50 	House's power... {Beat, lets it go} you've seen the wall around Vegas. He gains more power, that wall will grow. The Mojave'll become Vegas. 	
 	Is New Vegas's power a threat to you? 	Neutral 50 	{Little quiet, as if speaking of a haunted graveyard} But it's more lights than strength. You'll see the way of it soon enough. 	
 	You have a lot of hate for NCR. That kind of hate isn't new in the Mojave. 	Neutral 50 	No... not new. And not new among all those in the shadow of the Bear.{No sound file} 	
 	You have a lot of hate for NCR. That kind of hate isn't new in the Mojave. 	Neutral 50 	{Frowns} You know their flag, a bear with two heads. Symbol's an Old World one, had one head then, better off for it. 	
 	You have a lot of hate for NCR. That kind of hate isn't new in the Mojave. 	Neutral 50 	Their flag speaks to their spirit. They're split like any two-headed animal, trying to go in different directions, ending up nowhere. 	
 	You have a lot of hate for NCR. That kind of hate isn't new in the Mojave. 	Neutral 50 	In the Mojave, that'll only get you sand between your fingers - or over your grave. 	
 	You've got a better way? 	Neutral 50 	Yes. And any Courier could tell you the same, see it everywhere. The Bear...{No sound file} 	
 	You've got a better way? 	Neutral 50 	...Bear's too busy carving up the Mojave with knives, roads, borders, and how things {emph} should be to see how it {emph} is. 	
 	You've got a better way? 	Neutral 50 	They're stretched thin, can't protect their frontlines, their towns, think paper's power, radio means control - all of it, useless. 	
 	At least they're trying to help the Mojave. 	Neutral 50 	Trying doesn't hold much weight with me. Legion doesn't {emph} try to kill people, they do it. The Bear kills people trying to {emph} protect them.{No sound file} 	
 	At least they're trying to help the Mojave. 	Disgust 50 	Irony's sharp. And Legion... their flag may be old, but it's not at war with itself. 	
 	At least they're trying to help the Mojave. 	Neutral 50 	No matter now. Bear couldn't hold the Divide. 	
 	At least they're trying to help the Mojave. 	Neutral 50 	You and that machine, are all that remains of NCR here... {quieter, to himself} rest fell to radiation, fire... and what burrows below. 	
 	We're too far from Vegas to argue perspective on it. 	Neutral 50 	{Judging} Maybe that's why you chose Vegas... the lights can blind, make people forget themselves. Their convictions - vows. {No sound file} 	
 	We're too far from Vegas to argue perspective on it. 	Neutral 50 	Not going to waste time trying to make the blind see. {Beat} Took a chance coming here - same as I did. Now we'll see how it plays out. 	
 	I'm not interested in your politics. 	Neutral 50 	Maybe not. Maybe that's why you fell in with the Bear in the first place - can't see what you're following. 	
 	I'm not interested in your politics. 	Neutral 50 	Not going to convince a deaf man with words. Shown strength coming in here - if strength's what you respect, then you belong East of the Colorado. 	
 	As obsessed as you are about history, the future's what I prefer. 	Neutral 50 	{Disdain} Your future with House has two roads. The road the tribals in Vegas walked... their spirits crushed... 	
 	As obsessed as you are about history, the future's what I prefer. 	Neutral 50 	...or your face on a robot servant, smiling forever in a dead casino. There's future in neither. 	
 	What do you have against Vegas? 	Neutral 50 	Vegas is Old World, filled with Old World ghosts. {Beat, slightly ominous} And ghosts need the living to do their work. 	
 	What do you have against Vegas? 	Neutral 50 	That's why the families are there, why the Bear stumbles there to lose itself. It's a dance, I don't know its purpose. 	
 	What do you have against Vegas? 	Neutral 50 	You've been, you've seen the Wall. It's what's inside that worries me. 	
 	What did you mean before, "it's a dance?" 	Neutral 50 	{Frowns} That's the wrong word. "Theater" is better - the families, the Bear all on a stage. 	
 	What did you mean before, "it's a dance?" 	Neutral 50 	House. He's the one watching. {Suspicious} The why... you'd know better than I would. If you don't - you will. 	
 	Vegas is one of the safest places in the Mojave, and that gives me hope. 	Neutral 50 	You've been, you've seen the Wall. Safe? No... what's inside - that's what worries me. 	
 	Vegas is one of the safest places in the Mojave, and that gives me hope. 	Neutral 50 	Inside, Old World's waking up. No facts or history I've heard tells me that city ever went to sleep, and that makes me think. 	
 	Vegas is one of the safest places in the Mojave, and that gives me hope. 	Neutral 50 	The blue of the Mojave skies - isn't like the rest of the world. Don't hear a Geiger ticking there, more to fear from predators than rads. 	
 	Vegas is one of the safest places in the Mojave, and that gives me hope. 	Neutral 50 	The city - the whole Mojave, wasn't hit by bombs. Been my call, Vegas would be one of the first pieces of the Old World to burn. 	
 	Vegas is one of the safest places in the Mojave, and that gives me hope. 	Neutral 50 	Someone protected it. Wasn't chance, wasn't luck. Something larger - yet they let the rest of the world suffer. And they'll do it again. 	
 	Tribes? You mean the Vegas families? 	Neutral 50 	Families of Vegas were once tribes. Got drunk on the Vegas lights, the spirit bled out of them. Old World history, under a different flag. 	
 	Tribes? You mean the Vegas families? 	Neutral 50 	Whatever traditions or rituals they had, most likely squeezed out of them by now, turned into something else. 	
 	Tribes? You mean the Vegas families? 	Neutral 50 	{To himself} And if not, then I'm afraid what's going to happen when they come creeping back. 	
 	House is more pragmatic than you might think. 	Neutral 50 	{"I"} Believe that. Vegas runs, I've seen what it's done to those who oppose it. And I've seen its messengers. 	
 	I doubt you've ever met House. 	Neutral 50 	No... only seen his works. Those he's broken with light and gold. His messengers. 	
 	I doubt you've ever met House. 	Neutral 50 	But everything in Vegas speaks of someone who can't let go. 	
 	I doubt you've ever met House. 	Neutral 50 	House takes a shovel to history's graves, props up the dead, then puts words in their mouths. The tribes don't even know how they were broken. 	
 	I doubt you've ever met House. 	Neutral 50 	{Cold, ominous} Not a world I want to be part of, going through motions until we're all smiling faces on some robot's screen. 	
 	The Mojave is behind us. I want to know what's ahead. 	Neutral 50 	The High Road... not the Divide yet, many more miles to walk. But you got this far. {Disgust, hates ED-E} You and that machine that shadows you. 	
 	The Mojave is behind us. I want to know what's ahead. 	Neutral 50 	Wasn't sure if both of you'd make it - above, then below the underpass.{No sound file} 	
 	If we share history, then before going forward, I want to know the past. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Smiles} "Who are you, who do not know your history?" 	
 	If we share history, then before going forward, I want to know the past. 	Neutral 50 	You came all this way for answers. Only currency I have, nothing else to be gained - {you} could turn around, walk away at any time. 	
 	If we share history, then before going forward, I want to know the past. 	Neutral 50 	If history matters to you... you'll need to earn it. {To himself, this is a hint} Any logs of mine I have already cast away in the Divide, they're lost to you. 	
 	Wait... there's more I wanted to talk about. About... all this. 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] {Dismissive} You want to know more, keep walking. 	
 	Wait... there's more I wanted to talk about. About... all this. 	Neutral 50 	I'll give answers as you go. {Beat, warning} Not before. 	
 	[Legion] You've been to Denver? That's Legion territory. 	Neutral 50 	Mojave and the Divide aren't the only places I've walked. 	
 	Denver hounds? Denver's far to the East - Legion territory. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] Mojave and the Divide aren't the only places I've walked. 	
 	Denver? What's that? 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] Another city fallen to nations, in the east... not important. {Dismissive, player isn't much of an outdoorsman} Doubt you'll ever walk that far, you'd need the land to sustain you. 	
 	Radiation from the War might have created them. Then detonations, quakes, caused them to surface? 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Nod} Makes sense. Truth favors that, matches the history of this place. 	
 	Radiation from the War might have created them. Then detonations, quakes, caused them to surface? 	Neutral 50 	{Reflective} Were signs they were here for a long time, before Marked Men, before what happened to the Divide cracked their sky. 	
 	Radiation from the War might have created them. Then detonations, quakes, caused them to surface? 	Neutral 50 	If so, they were buried deep. Might have been born the day America's embers started to settle. {To himself} Seen worse things twisted by radiation. 	
 	Are you saying... they were here before all this destruction? 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] {Dismissive} Don't know the history of them - only their patterns, how they hunt. 	
 	Are you saying... they were here before all this destruction? 	Neutral 50 	{Dismissive} Still, takes a long time for such patterns to develop. A longer history than what happened here. 	
 	You keep saying that, as if you know where I was born - you don't. 	Neutral 50 	Home isn't where you're born into this world. You taught me that. Part of your message, whether you meant it or not. 	
 	You keep saying that, as if you know where I was born - you don't. 	Neutral 50 	{Reflective} Can be a place of mind, a moment where you know who you are, the history of it. {Beat, back to player} And they can be places you breathe life into. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	Never would have known the Divide had it not been for you. {Deliberate, slow, little anger here} The road you made with your tracks, again and again. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	{Thinking} You were the only one willing to make the journey to and from here... a hard road. Kept the land before the Divide alive through seasons, storms... 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	{trying to convince himself} {emph} ...can't have been just a job. {Accusing} Was something more to you. Don't feel for a place that hard unless it's home. 	
 	The why of it? You're the one who needs to answer that - why are you doing this? 	Neutral 50 	{Slow anger, being cagey here, doesn't want to show hand} Want to hear the answer of it. Not just history's answer... your answer for what happened here. 	
 	I've walked a lot of hard roads, Mojave and before. Doesn't mean anything. 	Neutral 50 	{Anger} It means {emph} everything - even if you {emph} deny it, cast it aside, that speaks to what you are, {emph} proves what happened here. 	
 	You're crazy. Your head's messed up worse than the Divide. 	Neutral 50 	{Cold, judging, low} And you've forgotten. Forgotten everything. {Beat, emph} Careless, as careless with futures then as you are now in the Mojave. 	
 	Whatever you believe happened, you have it wrong. 	Disgust 50 	{Raises an eyebrow, contempt} Wrong? {Beat} No, I know the truth of it. 	
 	Whatever you believe happened, you have it wrong. 	Neutral 50 	It was you walking that road that kept the Divide alive. It grew from what you did. Settlers... camps... filling that Old World city. 	
 	Whatever you believe happened, you have it wrong. 	Neutral 50 	{To himself} Chance for a new nation, new beginning. New way of thinking. 	
 	Whatever you believe happened, you have it wrong. 	Neutral 50 	{Bitter} Could've breathed new life into the Mojave, bridging East, West. Like Hoover Dam... but not Old World, something {emph} you made. Road was a supply line. 	
 	You're still making assumptions about all this. 	Neutral 50 	No, recounting history. 	
 	There is no other supply line to the Mojave beyond the Long 15. 	Neutral 50 	{Scoffs} Not any more. If one existed, the two-headed Bear would have claimed it. And it tried to. 	
 	Maybe you should tell me what happened. 	Neutral 50 	NCR saw the worth in that road you made. {Disgust} Staked a claim, whether it was wanted there or not - {just like itâs} true elsewhere in the Mojave. 	
 	Maybe you should tell me what happened. 	Neutral 50 	And where the Bear tries to cling to life, the Legion comes... bearing messages. Some brought by blade. Others... by Couriers. 	
 	Maybe you should tell me what happened. 	Neutral 50 	You knew what was coming, as sure as I know what's coming for you. 	
 	Maybe you should tell me what happened. 	Neutral 50 	This time {emph} you carry the burden. {Beat} Walk west into the sun, and keep walking until it dies. {Beat} There - I'll be waiting. 	
 	You've been to Denver? That's Legion territory. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} Mojave and the Divide aren't the only places I've walked. 	
 	You said I brought it from the West? 	Neutral 50 	{Let a little bit of rage creep in here, this is what he hates} It was a device, a detonator. One I'd never seen before - {little quieter, to himself} or heard before. 	
 	You said I brought it from the West? 	Neutral 50 	{Emph} You carried that thing to the Divide. I know because I followed you as you walked the road, watched you do it. 	
 	You said I brought it from the West? 	Neutral 50 	You brought it here, to the community you built. And you are responsible for what happened after - when the device opened, started to speak. 	
 	You said I brought it from the West? 	Neutral 50 	When it did, the Divide answered back. {Beat} Those missiles you've seen, buried in their silos. 	
 	You said I brought it from the West? 	Neutral 50 	They exploded beneath the ground, cracked the landscape. Sand, ash... the dead... the Divide skies became a graveyard. 	
 	This package... I don't recall it. 	Neutral 50 	It was from the West. From deep in NCR. Whether made by them or not... it came here. Through your hands. 	
 	I'm not to blame for Ashton, the Chip, or the Divide. 	Neutral 50 	{Slow, building anger} All these roads, {emph} you walked. These packages you carried. Think it wasn't your choice? 	
 	I'm not to blame for Ashton, the Chip, or the Divide. 	Neutral 50 	{Snarls} Of course it was your choice. {Beat} You could have stayed in the Mojave. But you {emph} chose to come, couldn't let be - not in you to let go. 	
 	I'm not to blame for Ashton, the Chip, or the Divide. 	Neutral 50 	Came for no other reason than you were curious, restless - always have been. {Beat} Had to know the why of it - {Beat} now, I'll show you. 	
 	I'm not responsible for this, there's no way I could have known. 	Neutral 50 	{Emph} If you had been there when it happened. {Beat, quieter} If you had {emph} seen the Divide break, you would know it. 	
 	I'm not responsible for this, there's no way I could have known. 	Neutral 50 	You carry death wherever you go - if the Mojave doesn't know it yet, it will. 	
 	You can't be sure it was me. 	Neutral 50 	No... I'm certain. What I hadn't known was that you still {emph} lived after the Divide. 	
 	I don't understand how a package could have done this. 	Neutral 50 	You will. I'll show the Mojave, Bear and Bull the way of it. How Couriers can break nations. 	
 	I don't understand how a package could have done this. 	Neutral 50 	What happened here... can happen again. {Quiet, slight smug} You've already proved it, what you did in Ashton. The silo there. 	
 	I had no idea the silo was active until the missile was in the air toward Hopeville. 	Neutral 50 	Didn't stop you, though. Like carrying the Chip to Vegas, Old World death in your hand. 	
 	I had no idea the silo was active until the missile was in the air toward Hopeville. 	Neutral 50 	Pieces of the Old World like that just need someone careless enough to take them where they need to go, to do their killing. 	
 	I've had enough of this - whatever your game, I'm done. 	Neutral 50 	{Cold} No, {emph} you are. Cut off your retreat, {emph} your supply line. Ashton missile, turned Hopeville into a furnace. 	
 	I've had enough of this - whatever your game, I'm done. 	Neutral 50 	You could walk back. Still can - {slow} but the Divide will mark you, sickness will set in. 	
 	I've had enough of this - whatever your game, I'm done. 	Neutral 50 	Not immediate, maybe, but in time. Slow burn, a little faster than before. 	
 	I've had enough of this - whatever your game, I'm done. 	Neutral 50 	The way ahead and below - leads to the heart of the Divide. 	
 	I've had enough of this - whatever your game, I'm done. 	Neutral 50 	And there... you and I, we'll have an ending to things. 	
 	There's nothing to keep me from walking out of here and letting you rot. 	Neutral 50 	Spent years looking for you. If you head back to the Mojave, it's like nothing's changed. Can live with that. Had to. 	
 	There's nothing to keep me from walking out of here and letting you rot. 	Neutral 50 	Wasn't sure if history would matter to you. If it doesn't, that answers my question. 	
 	There's nothing to keep me from walking out of here and letting you rot. 	Neutral 50 	If you turn your back on your home, so be it. I'll remain here in the Divide for you to return. And you will. 	
 	You wanted me to come to the Divide, I'm here. Now what? 	Neutral 50 	Your road's not done. Haven't walked it full yet, not nearly enough. 	
 	On the High Road, you mentioned NCR and Legion fought here... before and after the Divide? 	Neutral 50 	The two-headed Bear made its claim, dug its claws into the trail you made. For once, it seemed like it might succeed - cut a route to the Mojave. 	
 	On the High Road, you mentioned NCR and Legion fought here... before and after the Divide? 	Neutral 50 	Couldn't let NCR stay in the Divide. Trade route, road the military could use... can't have two roads into the Mojave. 	
 	On the High Road, you mentioned NCR and Legion fought here... before and after the Divide? 	Neutral 50 	{To himself} Not after the work we'd done to cut off New Canaan, other routes, killing caravans... all we'd done to make the West bleed. 	
 	I'm not done talking to you yet, there's more I want to know. 	Neutral 50 	Already heard you once, long ago and loud enough for history to hear. Tired of your messages. 	
 	I'm not done talking to you yet, there's more I want to know. 	Disgust 50 	{Slight snide} Still - curiosity drove you this far. Let's see what else it can do. 	
 	That's what made the Legion come to the Divide. 	Neutral 50 	{To himself, echoing Caesarâs orders} Caesarâs orders. {Emph} Every supply line gets cut, every community that feeds the Bear... cut its throat, starve the Mojave. 	
 	So you are part of the Legion. One of their scouts? Assassins? 	Disgust 50 	{Echo, insulted} Assassin? {Beat, low anger} If killing needs to be done, I'll face my victims... not kill from a distance, like you. 	
 	This is the first I've heard of Legion coming this far West of the Colorado. 	Neutral 50 	No, when they come this far, they aren't Legion. They walk as Couriers. Like we do. 	
 	This is the first I've heard of Legion coming this far West of the Colorado. 	Neutral 50 	And the Divide is the reason no Legion has been seen. None belong to Caesar. Not in this place. 	
 	This is the first I've heard of Legion coming this far West of the Colorado. 	Neutral 50 	{Quieter} The ones that came... were following orders. 	
 	So what happened? 	Neutral 50 	Bear made its shadow felt here, more than I could handle. Heavy guard, watchful. I watched, waited. 	
 	So what happened? 	Neutral 50 	And as I watched, studied the people. The flag, markings. Thought perhaps... if I got rid of the Bear... what you had given life to might come again. 	
 	So what happened? 	Neutral 50 	Waited too long. Hesitated. A Courier isn't meant to stay in one place for long. And then you came, with the package. History. 	
 	I'm not interested in the history of this, we're done talking. 	Neutral 50 	All right. Done with words, then, won't get you where you need to go. 	
 	So the Legion doesn't know what happened here? 	Neutral 50 	No, they don't know the history of it. So send others to find out, more to die... at the hands of their brothers the Divide has claimed. 	
 	So the Legion doesn't know what happened here? 	Neutral 50 	{Bitter} It doesn't matter, the Bear's reach was cut off. Now only the Long 15 remains. Once that's finished, Mojave will be under the flag of the Bull. 	
 	How were you planning to attack the Divide? 	Neutral 50 	Didn't know, but Couriers can travel anywhere. They make roads into places no one else will go, guarded or not. Was going to watch, see. 	
 	How were you planning to attack the Divide? 	Neutral 50 	The Legion... thought it might get into the community through me, just as I'd found the way by following you. 	
 	How were you planning to attack the Divide? 	Neutral 50 	But you struck first, shattered the ground, and let your home burn instead. Nearly killed me. And everyone here, walking or still. 	
 	I found some recordings from you on the road. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} The tapes... {Shrugs} didn't think those would be found... weren't worth the words anyway, not like I'd forget what happened. 	
 	I found some recordings from you on the road. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} Had the tech from the Big Empty, recorder a woman gave me... on its last legs, didn't survive the road. Cast it and the tapes aside. 	
 	I found some recordings from you on the road. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} If you heard them... they're of no consequence. Ramblings, reminders for a man who doesn't need them. 	
 	You wouldn't have recorded those messages if they didn't matter to you. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Hesitant} Maybe not. {Beat} Who's to say. 	
 	You wouldn't have recorded those messages if they didn't matter to you. 	Neutral 50 	{Answers his own question, more to himself} You, perhaps. Found them, heard them after I cast them aside - maybe there was purpose in that. 	
 	You wouldn't have recorded those messages if they didn't matter to you. 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet, downnote} If they matter... if history matters... we'll see at the end of the road. 	
 	So... what, they weren't that important then? 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} [FAILED] {Dismissive} Words lost to history. {Beat, to himself, as if trying to convince himself of this} Wouldn't have left them on the road otherwise. 	
 	In the logs... you mentioned a tribe called the Twisted Hairs - your tribe? 	Anger 50 	{Anger} Twisted Hairs are dead, lost at Dry Wells, died in Vulpes' smile. Won't discuss their fate with you, not now - their past is {emph} mine to keep. 	
 	In the logs... you mentioned a tribe called the Twisted Hairs - your tribe? 	Neutral 50 	Walk farther, see me face to face - you might earn more. Now, let the words keep you without me adding to them. 	
 	The logs of the Big Empty mentioned you'd spoken to history. 	Neutral 50 	{Slow, thinking back} I had, did. It was madness... asked them a question in anger. {Beat} Got an answer, more than I expected. 	
 	The logs of the Big Empty mentioned you'd spoken to history. 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet, to himself} Answer told me what happened here at the Divide, the how of it, and that was enough. 	
 	The logs of the Big Empty mentioned you'd spoken to history. 	Neutral 50 	{Resolved, closing this up} The tape has the telling of it, don't need me adding to the questions already there. 	
 	I found some recordings from you in Hopeville. 	Neutral 50 	{Surprised} The tapes... {slightly impressed} didn't think those would be found... you know the Divide better than I thought. 	
 	I found some recordings from you in Hopeville. 	Neutral 50 	Had tech from the Big Empty, recorder a woman gave me... didn't survive the road, on its last legs. 	
 	I found some recordings from you in Hopeville. 	Neutral 50 	Cast it and the tapes aside... weren't worth the words anyway, not like I'd forget what happened. 	
 	I found some recordings from you in Hopeville. 	Neutral 50 	If you heard them... nothing but ramblings, reminders for a man who doesn't need them. {To himself} Probably more, lying from here to the Divide. 	
 	When we first spoke in Hopeville, you mentioned you'd sworn not to kill me. Why? 	Neutral 50 	{Frowns, slight testing} You know the why of it. If you don't - I do, and that's enough. {To himself, quieter} Shows trust only walks so far West. 	
 	When we first spoke in Hopeville, you mentioned you'd sworn not to kill me. Why? 	Neutral 50 	{Beat, gives in} Earned more than that, though, getting this far. {Beat} We walk the same road, carry the same colors. Can't break that by making the road red. 	
 	When we first spoke in Hopeville, you mentioned you'd sworn not to kill me. Why? 	Neutral 50 	Want more than that, walk the Divide. Answers'll come, closer you get to home... you and that machine. 	
 	I found more recordings from you on the road. 	Neutral 50 	{A little uncomfortable} You scavenge words. Things I have no need of, no history there worth recounting. 	
 	I found more recordings from you on the road. 	Neutral 50 	Scour the Divide, claw at it for meaning - but my words will give you no answer. 	
 	No, there's a pattern. The more I hear, the more I understand your history. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Cold, final} They won't help you understand what happened here. 	
 	No, there's a pattern. The more I hear, the more I understand your history. 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet, slight anger} And they won't help you understand me. {Disdain} Keep them, listen, study them - they won't help you here in the Divide. 	
 	I... think they tell me... where you were. Things you did. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} [FAILED] {Dismissive} Words lost to history. {Beat, to himself, as if trying to convince himself of this} Wouldn't have left them on the road otherwise. 	
 	You're going after the Long 15? That's more miles than Legion can hold. 	Neutral 50 	{Sneers, contempt} Won't {emph} hold it. Divide taught me you don't need to - just cut it off. 	
 	You're going after the Long 15? That's more miles than Legion can hold. 	Neutral 50 	Then the Mojave will fall, Bear will starve, its flag will burn. It's spent too long dying, the Long 15 will end it. 	
 	I found some recordings from you on the road. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} The tapes... {Shrugs} didn't think those would be found... weren't worth the words anyway, not like I'd forget what happened. 	
 	I found some recordings from you on the road. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} Had the tech from the Big Empty, recorder a woman gave me... on its last legs, didn't survive the road. Cast it and the tapes aside. 	
 	I found some recordings from you on the road. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} If you heard them... they're of no consequence. Ramblings, reminders for a man who doesn't need them. 	
 	I want to talk more about your recordings I found here in the Divide. 	Neutral 50 	{A little uncomfortable} You scavenge words. Things I have no need of, no history there worth recounting. 	
 	I want to talk more about your recordings I found here in the Divide. 	Neutral 50 	Scour the Divide, claw at it for meaning - but my words will give you no answer. 	
 	You wouldn't have recorded those messages if they didn't matter to you. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Hesitant} Maybe not. {Beat} Who's to say. 	
 	You wouldn't have recorded those messages if they didn't matter to you. 	Neutral 50 	{Answers his own question, more to himself} You, perhaps. Found them, heard them after I cast them aside - maybe there was purpose in that. 	
 	You wouldn't have recorded those messages if they didn't matter to you. 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet, downnote} If they matter... if history matters... we'll see at the end of the road. 	
 	{DUPE}So... what, they weren't that important then? 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} [FAILED] {Dismissive} Words lost to history. {Beat, to himself, as if trying to convince himself of this} Wouldn't have left them on the road otherwise. 	
 	I've been collecting them. Listen to you talk about history enough, maybe I'll understand. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Cold, final} They won't help you understand what happened here. 	
 	I've been collecting them. Listen to you talk about history enough, maybe I'll understand. 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet, slight anger} And they won't help you understand me. {Disdain} Keep them, listen, study them - they won't help you here in the Divide. 	
 	{DUPE}I... think they tell me... where you were. Things you did. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} [FAILED] {Dismissive} Words lost to history. {Beat, to himself, as if trying to convince himself of this} Wouldn't have left them on the road otherwise. 	
 	Before I go any farther, I deserve some answers. 	Neutral 50 	{Acknowledging, slow} You've seen the Divide, walked it - farther than I thought you would. {Beat, to himself} Not sure how much farther you have in you. 	
 	Before I go any farther, I deserve some answers. 	Neutral 50 	If you need answers, speak. You've earned them... {to himself} even if only you and I can carry them from here. 	
 	There's more I need to know. 	Neutral 50 	{Frowns} If I have the answers, you've earned them. 	
 	I want to know more about this package I delivered. 	Neutral 50 	{Disdain} You know what it was. {Remembering} Had the symbols of America on it. New markings. From after the Great War. 	
 	I want to know more about this package I delivered. 	Neutral 50 	{To himself} Thought it might be America come again. {Beat} Promise of another future. Another flag. 	
 	What's our history? How do you know me? 	Neutral 50 	I knew {emph} of you, your name. Your road, to and from the Divide, what that meant for the Legion. 	
 	What's our history? How do you know me? 	Neutral 50 	We never spoke, knew you through your actions. Knew you'd walked the West as I'd walked the East. Learned different lessons. 	
 	What's our history? How do you know me? 	Neutral 50 	And I would never have discovered the Divide without you. 	
 	[Legion] You didn't kill me in Primm because you still thought I was Legion. 	Neutral 50 	{To himself} Promises to keep. 'Courier shall not kill Courier.' Always - let them live, spread the word. 	
 	You said you made a promise not to kill me. Why? 	Neutral 50 	Caesar's orders. Some time before I realized the why of it. {Beat} Wasn't just you. {Emph} All couriers. 	
 	You said you made a promise not to kill me. Why? 	Neutral 50 	No telling how many were Legion. Maybe all of them. 	
 	You said you made a promise not to kill me. Why? 	Neutral 50 	Wasn't sure about you. Until the Divide... all the NCR burning... that much death, it bears the mark of a Legion hand. 	
 	You said you made a promise not to kill me. Why? 	Neutral 50 	{Frowns} But you killed like NCR. Like Hanlon, with mines, bombs... missiles. Killed Legion along with the Bear. Like a coward, kills from a distance. 	
 	You said you made a promise not to kill me. Why? 	Neutral 50 	If you were Legion, then NCR beat you, the West changed you. 	
 	I don't understand why you didn't kill me in Primm. 	Neutral 50 	{To himself} Promises to keep. 'Courier shall not kill Courier.' Always - let them live, spread the word. 	
 	But what was it? 	Neutral 50 	{Slightly dismissive, like not important} It was a piece of machinery... military, holding memories, codes, maybe. {Frowns} When it woke, made these sounds... words. 	
 	But what was it? 	Neutral 50 	{Somber remembering} When it spoke, the Divide became fire, the ground... tore apart like the skies. {Beat, this is the punchline} Through it all, kept calling out - maybe calling for home. 	
 	You have a lot of hate for the robot with me. I can hear it in your voice. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] Hate? No. There's nothing to hate in metal... steel, gold. {Bold} Or platinum. 	
 	You have a lot of hate for the robot with me. I can hear it in your voice. 	Neutral 50 	{Disdain} Your machine... it's just a tool, made of wreckage of the Divide... {to himself} all that was brought here. 	
 	Something wrong? You sound... mad... at my robot. 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] {Disgust} When I speak in anger, {emph} Courier, you'll know it. {Dismissive, trying to play this down} Your machine? Worth no more hate than any {emph} other machine. 	
 	What do you mean, "when it woke?" 	Neutral 50 	Machine couldn't speak by itself. Needed a terminal to access it... like the terminals in the silos here, or the machine with you. 	
 	What do you mean, "when it woke?" 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet} When it was connected, it started speaking. And the Divide answered. 	
 	[NCR] NCR would have needed this supply line open to reinforce the Mojave - and Hoover Dam. 	Neutral 50 	{Agreeing} The Dam. That Old World Wall. 	
 	[Legion] The Legion would want to cut this road off if it had been a supply line to Hoover Dam. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} {Agreeing} The Dam. That Old World Wall. 	
 	What do you mean? 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} {Agreeing} The Dam. That Old World Wall. 	
 	What do you mean? 	Neutral 50 	The why of it. Hoover Dam. 	
 	What do you mean? 	Neutral 50 	The Bear, NCR, couldn't be allowed to reach it easily. Long 15... Canaan... both bad enough. 	
 	What do you mean? 	Neutral 50 	{Disgust} Kimball, Caesar, House... you'd think their whole world was that wall, cutting the Colorado. {To himself} If I'd never laid eyes on it, never spoke of it... 	
 	What do you mean? 	Neutral 50 	...but once found, it was all Caesar could see. That, and the flag beyond it, another symbol, big enough to challenge him. 	
 	What do you mean? 	Neutral 50 	And the Divide, one of the roads to it - Legion was tasked with cutting that artery. If you can't kill the Bear in one stroke, bleed it, starve it. 	
 	What do you mean? 	Neutral 50 	That kind of murder... it's what any of the {emph} Legion would have done. Now... the Divide belongs to history. 	
 	So you blame me for this? An accident? 	Neutral 50 	{Anger, sneer} Blame? Accident? The names you hang on this... Courier... you carry death wherever you go, Mojave knows - or will. 	
 	So you blame me for this? An accident? 	Neutral 50 	I'll see you answer for this. The road doesn't end here, there's more to come, I swear to you. 	
 	So you're angry because I accidentally brought an explosive to the Divide? 	Anger 50 	{Anger} Accident? Ignorance is a {emph} choice. The Chip - a choice. 	
 	So you're angry because I accidentally brought an explosive to the Divide? 	Neutral 50 	{More to himself} As for anger... it is what I carry for the dead, and all that come here. 	
 	This is revenge for nearly killing you, then. 	Neutral 50 	Not the name I'd give it. Not the name the dead would give it. 	
 	This is revenge for nearly killing you, then. 	Neutral 50 	Soldiers of the Bear died here... Legion died, too, my brothers. Still dying, both of them, all around us. 	
 	This is revenge for nearly killing you, then. 	Neutral 50 	None of the people that lived here survived... yet all of the West and the East, they hold on as the Divide tears at them. 	
 	This is revenge for nearly killing you, then. 	Neutral 50 	Revenge isn't the message I have for you. More than that... Courier. 	
 	This package... you said it had markings? What was it? 	Neutral 50 	Machinery. Simple on the outside, computer parts. Inside... more complicated. 	
 	This package... you said it had markings? What was it? 	Neutral 50 	Was the only time I'd heard a machine speak in the Divide, the only machine with a voice. 	
 	Why would I have brought it here? 	Neutral 50 	I've walked the East. {Accusing} You've walked the West, more than I have. 	
 	Why would I have brought it here? 	Neutral 50 	Circle Junction. Reno. Vault City. Word of you at Fort Aradesh... Fort Abandon. Even further West than that, Brahmin drives on the Big Circle. 	
 	Why would I have brought it here? 	Neutral 50 	Whatever you saw out there, wasn't enough to make you stay. {Beat} Maybe the markings on the package reminded you of the road home. 	
 	Where is the package now? 	Neutral 50 	{Slightly coy, knows where it is} Buried in the Divide. Part of it now. 	
 	Where is the package now? 	Neutral 50 	Wherever it is, it's been silent... if it spoke again, we'd know. 	
 	[Legion] I didn't side with the Legion until the Mojave. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} I know that now. Doesn't change what was done. The Legion who died here. 	
 	[Legion] I didn't side with the Legion until the Mojave. 	Neutral 50 	{Slight threat} Legion doesn't know your history. I do. They find out what happened here, how many of their own died... {"they'll want justice"} they'll want an answer. 	
 	[Legion] I'll see that you answer for it. 	Neutral 50 	{Disgust} Then Legion kills Legion. Farther you walk from the flag of the Bull, the more West creeps into you. 	
 	I'm no traitor, and when I walk, I don't hide my presence. 	Neutral 50 	Legion wears many colors, East and West. You... maybe blinded by Vegas's light, or the promise of that Chip. 	
 	I'm no traitor, and when I walk, I don't hide my presence. 	Neutral 50 	Or maybe you walked so far West, the Bear's sickness crept into you. We'll see. Your offenses before Caesar, the least of the crimes here. 	
 	Then you learned the wrong message. 	Neutral 50 	{Smug, confident} Really. Who's to say the truth of it. You? No. You walked {emph} from this, turned your back on it. Now you and others will answer for it. 	
 	Then you learned the wrong message. 	Neutral 50 	I'll start with the West. Let that burn. Then... if the East falters after, I'll bring the Divide there as well. 	
 	Then you learned the wrong message. 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet} Burn away the flags. {Beat} Begin again. 	
 	You want the robot? Why? 	Neutral 50 	{Taunt, derisive} It's a messenger. Like us... and it shares our history. 	
 	You want the robot? Why? 	Neutral 50 	{Taunt, then cold, he's enjoying this} If you feel its loss... remember you could have turned away at any time. Gone back home, and none of this would have happened. 	
 	You want the robot? Why? 	Neutral 50 	{Taunt, edged} But you had to make one last delivery, and that's why I knew you'd come, Courier. Couldn't stay away, it's who you are. 	
 	What's so important about him? 	Neutral 50 	What's {emph} inside that machine - that's all that mattered. All the machines here, made of wreckage from the Divide... and all that was brought here. 	
 	What's so important about him? 	Neutral 50 	Inside its frame, it carries the message you brought here... and it'll do what it was programmed to do: {slow, pace this} whatever it can to get home. 	
 	What's so important about him? 	Neutral 50 	The giants here will listen to it. I'll bring the Divide to your home, your nation. Let its flag burn, just like you let the Divide burn. 	
 	What's so important about him? 	Neutral 50 	{Speaking to console} Big Mountain access code... Ulysses. Command override... 	
 	What's so important about him? 	Neutral 50 	{Beat, quiet, like saying "launch" nukes} Navarro. 	
 	This road leads nowhere. There's nothing in the Divide. 	Neutral 50 	Many in the Mojave think the Divide's nothing but canyon and storm. {Beat} Wasn't always. 	
 	This road leads nowhere. There's nothing in the Divide. 	Neutral 50 	{Starts getting nostalgic} There was life, a town, farther West... not talking about an Old World town like Hopeville... more recent. Something you saw in your lifetime. 	
 	This road leads nowhere. There's nothing in the Divide. 	Neutral 50 	{Nostalgia increases} It had the name "the Divide," too. But rather than cracks in the earth, it was a road from the West into the Mojave, a supply line. 	
 	This road leads nowhere. There's nothing in the Divide. 	Neutral 50 	{Comes back to present} Took a Courier to make that road. {Beat} You. Back then, you saw the road with eyes facing East. This time... the Divide's in the other direction. 	
 	This road leads nowhere. There's nothing in the Divide. 	Neutral 50 	And if your eyes try to make sense of it when you reach it... {cold, downnote} home's not what it was. 	
 	What makes you think this leads home? 	Neutral 50 	All roads lead back to one's home. Not your birthplace maybe, but home. 	
 	What? ED-E? 	Neutral 50 	{Derision} You gave it a name. What was it to you? Companion? Slave... weapon? All of that, nothing compared to its primary function. 	
 	If you think you can take it from me, try. 	Neutral 50 	{Cold} The machine you brought is mine now, it's coming home. {Snarling, talking about torturing the robot} I'll reduce it to parts, just enough to function, to be aware of what's happening. 	
 	The Divide explosion... what, did I kill your family? Your wife - children? 	Neutral 50 	{Derisive, echoes player's comment} My family? My tribe lives... {but} its history? Died long ago, fell under the shadow of the Bull... consumed by another symbol. 	
 	The Divide explosion... what, did I kill your family? Your wife - children? 	Neutral 50 	No, this isn't about family - or any common blood. It's blood shared by {emph} acts, not by chance. 	
 	When you speak of the dead - you mean the Marked Men? The Legion and NCR? 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} {Derisive} The soldiers of the Bear? They were dead already, their symbol... diseased. Deserved to die as my brothers did at Boulder City, mines, bombs. 	
 	When you speak of the dead - you mean the Marked Men? The Legion and NCR? 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} {Sneers} I carry nothing for them. Their deaths here were a mercy - compared to the ones that still walk the Divide. 	
 	When you speak of the dead - you mean the Marked Men? The Legion and NCR? 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet, respectful} As for my brothers in the Legion... they deserved to die in battle, as do all beneath the flag of the Bull. 	
 	When you speak of the dead - you mean the Marked Men? The Legion and NCR? 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} {Quiet} But no... the dead number more than my brothers. 	
 	[NCR] The dead? You mean the Republic troops who were here? 	Neutral 50 	{Derisive} The soldiers of the Bear? They were dead already, their symbol... diseased. Deserved to die as my brothers did at Boulder City, mines, bombs. 	
 	[NCR] The dead? You mean the Republic troops who were here? 	Neutral 50 	{Sneers} I carry nothing for them. Their deaths here were a mercy - compared to the ones that still walk the Divide. 	
 	[Legion] The dead? You mean your brothers in the Legion - our brothers. 	Neutral 50 	{Respectful for dead} The Legion who died here... they didn't deserve to die, like those that died in the fires of Boulder City... {sneering to self} bombs, Hanlon's gifts. 	
 	[Legion] The dead? You mean your brothers in the Legion - our brothers. 	Neutral 50 	{Respectful} Their deaths were mercy compared to those who still walk. Any who die beneath the flag of the Bull... their death should be in battle. 	
 	[Legion] The dead? You mean your brothers in the Legion - our brothers. 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet} But no... the dead number more than my brothers. 	
 	If you're Legion, are you angry because I destroyed the Divide supply line instead of you? 	Neutral 50 	{Echoing player} The supply line - the artery for the West? {Disdain, player's missing the point} I have seen the blood of NCR at Legion hands many times. 	
 	If you're Legion, are you angry because I destroyed the Divide supply line instead of you? 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} {Quiet, accusing} I carry no hatred for duty... if that's what this was. The Divide was more than that. Its people, more than that. 	
 	[Legion] Killing NCR, cutting off their supply line at the Divide serves Legion, as do we all. 	Neutral 50 	{Echoing player's statement} Serves the Legion? 	
 	[Legion] Killing NCR, cutting off their supply line at the Divide serves Legion, as do we all. 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet, accusing} I carry no hatred for duty... if that's what this was. The Divide was more than that. Its people, more than that. 	
 	If you blame me for what happened here at the Divide - why do you care? 	Neutral 50 	{Reflective, Ulysses is getting to the core of the reason of why he's doing all this} The community that was once here... and the package you brought... both had markings of the Divide. Markings of America. 	
 	If you blame me for what happened here at the Divide - why do you care? 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet, reminding the player} You've seen the marks, the symbol. As early as the Hopeville silo, maybe. Carried it etched on your weapons. 	
 	If you blame me for what happened here at the Divide - why do you care? 	Neutral 50 	The Divide, its buildings, its people, were built around those same markings, surrounded them here... 	
 	If you blame me for what happened here at the Divide - why do you care? 	Neutral 50 	...markings like the flag on my back. When I {emph} followed your road to the Divide those years ago, I saw the symbol I wore all around me. 	
 	If you blame me for what happened here at the Divide - why do you care? 	Neutral 50 	An Old World symbol. Strong, to survive here - its people, strong. {"Maybe," low} Outlast the Bear, outlast the Bull. Promise of something better. 	
 	If you blame me for what happened here at the Divide - why do you care? 	Neutral 50 	Caesar was right to want it dead. NCR was right to want to rake their claws in it. 	
 	If you blame me for what happened here at the Divide - why do you care? 	Neutral 50 	Seeing it... changed me, just as seeing Hoover Dam changed Caesar and the NCR. 	
 	If you blame me for what happened here at the Divide - why do you care? 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet} Seeing it end changed me, too. 	
 	So you believed in this place. What it once was. 	Neutral 50 	{Bitter} There was hope here, another chance. A new nation, stirring to life. {Beat} A place I could have set my flag. 	
 	So you believed in this place. What it once was. 	Neutral 50 	Not the America of old. But something larger than the tribes of the East, something larger than the houses of the West. Something better. 	
 	So you believed in this place. What it once was. 	Neutral 50 	The Divide... could have bridged both, like Hoover Dam. {Anger, dismissive} Now like the Dam, it's too covered in blood to see what it could have been. 	
 	So you believed in this place. What it once was. 	Neutral 50 	{Slow, accusing} You gave life to this place. I followed your road here, saw the Divide. You {emph} led me here, so that I could see. 	
 	So you believed in this place. What it once was. 	Neutral 50 	{Bring it down} Then, you brought it to an end. 	
 	And that's why you want me dead. 	Neutral 50 	{Slight sympathy for the player, doesn't get it} My history isn't revenge, or hate. The road that brought us {emph} both here - isn't about that. 	
 	And that's why you want me dead. 	Neutral 50 	It's about the {emph} message you carried. The one in that package, whether you knew it or not. 	
 	And that's why you want me dead. 	Neutral 50 	{Slow, ominous} The message that {emph} one can kill a nation. Can kill a symbol. And all that gather beneath its flag. 	
 	And that's why you want me dead. 	Neutral 50 	{Slow} I don't blame you for the Divide. {Beat, punchline} I blame you for what you made me see. 	
 	And that's why you want me dead. 	Neutral 50 	{Death sentence} Now you will see what you brought to the Mojave, and that will be {emph} my message to {emph} you. 	
 	I don't understand. What message? 	Neutral 50 	The nations of the Mojave. Cracked and broken as the Divide... its people, the same. 	
 	I don't understand. What message? 	Neutral 50 	I have walked at Caesar's command, across the East, into the West. Far enough to know Caesar's word did not drive me. Far enough to see the end. 	
 	I don't understand. What message? 	Neutral 50 	You've seen it. No Courier, whatever their flag can ignore it. Why you didn't stay in the West. Why you wandered. 	
 	I don't understand. What message? 	Neutral 50 	There is no future in the Bear or Bull. The Bear is diseased, barely clings to life. 	
 	I don't understand. What message? 	Neutral 50 	And the Bull... when the Legion reaches the sea, it will turn on itself and die. 	
 	I don't understand. What message? 	Neutral 50 	Killing one will end both. And you made me see how one could do it. Your ignorance, carelessness - can be used with a purpose. 	
 	Keep talking like that, I'll see you dead. 	Neutral 50 	You already tried once, won't give you another chance. 	
 	At least I don't hide behind a machine like a coward. 	Neutral 50 	Machines... bombs, things of NCR, are your tools, not mine. When we meet, this machine won't keep me from you. 	
 	[Legion] Legion doesn't kill Legion. Caesar's orders? 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} {Smile/sneer} What kind of world would this be if Courier killed Courier.{No sound file} 	
 	[Legion] Legion doesn't kill Legion. Caesar's orders? 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} You've got enough distance ahead of you - save your breath for the road, don't waste it on words. 	
 	[Legion] You said you'd sworn not to kill me. If you're Legion, why are we at odds? 	Neutral 50 	{Frowns, slight testing} You struck first. Not just at me... at the Legion. Or so I thought. Not sure of the history of it now. 	
 	[Legion] You said you'd sworn not to kill me. If you're Legion, why are we at odds? 	Neutral 50 	Whatever flag you follow, or followed then... either way, you got too much of the Bear's sickness in you to live. Divide's proof of that. 	
 	[Legion] You said you'd sworn not to kill me. If you're Legion, why are we at odds? 	Neutral 50 	Want more than that, walk the road. Answers'll come, closer you get to home... you and that machine. 	
 	[Legion] If I destroyed the NCR in this place, why do you care? 	Neutral 50 	{Emph} Legion died here as well. {Beat, but...} What you did... that's not {emph} all that cuts at me. 	
 	[Legion] Are you angry that this explosion undermined the Legion's plans? It was an accident. 	Anger 50 	{DUPE} {Anger} Accident? Ignorance is a {emph} choice. The Chip - a choice. 	
 	[Legion] Are you angry that this explosion undermined the Legion's plans? It was an accident. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} {More to himself} As for anger... it is what I carry for the dead, and all that come here. 	
 	[Legion] Seeing this place. It meant more to you than the Legion? 	Neutral 50 	Yes. And it did to you once, I'm sure of it. 	
 	[Legion] So... when you called me traitor in Hopeville, that title belongs to you. 	Neutral 50 	{Angry} No, it is a title {emph} you earned. Legion or not, you have betrayed more than you know. 	
 	[Legion] Legion does not kill Legion - but you're not that anymore. I'm going to kill you. 	Neutral 50 	If that's all that drives you, it won't last. The Legion... it won't last either. 	
 	The Divide couldn't stop me, the Mojave couldn't kill me - you don't have much chance. 	Neutral 50 	I'll finish history's work. If the Divide couldn't kill you... perhaps these spears of the Old World can. 	
 	The Divide couldn't stop me, the Mojave couldn't kill me - you don't have much chance. 	Neutral 50 	Let's end this, Courier, you and I. Here, with the Old World flag as witness. 	
 	I still don't understand - why are you doing this? 	Anger 50 	{Cold} You've answered your own question. And you'll die with that question on your lips. 	
 	What about the Marked Men? 	Neutral 50 	That's part of why I'm here. Watch them - if they attack me, try to enter the Mojave, I answer. {Little quieter} Not looking to kill them... save them, if I can. 	
 	What about the Marked Men? 	Neutral 50 	There might be something saving in them. {Quieter, to himself} If not, then what I do is mercy, not murder. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	 	
 	Was hoping you could help me shape something. 	Neutral 50 	{Nods} Let's see what gifts the Mojave has for us. 	
 	Was hoping you could help me shape something. 	Neutral 50 	{Looking at player's inventory} Let's make something new from the old. 	
 	What are you doing here? 	Neutral 50 	A question one could have asked you not long ago, before walking the road West into the storms. 	
 	What are you doing here? 	Neutral 50 	Need to be here, see what was done. It's custom of the Bear to never see the marks it claws in the land... not {emph} my custom. 	
 	What are you doing here? 	Neutral 50 	Maybe that's why you've come, too - need to see where the missile from Ashton touched ground down below, in Hopeville... the Courier's Mile. 	
 	Can you tell me again what you're doing here? 	Neutral 50 	Need to be here, see what was done. In the Divide, in Hopeville... the Courier's Mile. 	
 	I wanted to hear more about Hoover Dam. 	Neutral 50 	Old World wall, run red with blood of Bear and Bull. It'll bleed more before the sun sets on the Mojave. 	
 	I wanted to hear more about Hoover Dam. 	Neutral 50 	That place and I have a past, owe it a debt - and it owes me. If your path takes you there, know you're not the only one. 	
 	I wanted to hear more about Hoover Dam. 	Neutral 50 	It's the wall by which this age will be measured, the gravestone of the Mojave. Old World never meant it as such. 	
 	Dry Wells is destroyed - that was your birthplace? 	Neutral 50 	No, opposite of that. It's where my tribe was taken. Where another history was put to the blade, lesson taught. 	
 	Dry Wells is destroyed - that was your birthplace? 	Neutral 50 	It is where we realized Vulpes did not approach us as equals. Where we realized the wolf had come, and we watched our history die. 	
 	Dry Wells is destroyed - that was your birthplace? 	Neutral 50 	Now it belongs to Legion... and all the death there now belongs to them as well. Not revenge... just the way of things when you {emph} own them. 	
 	The Long 15 is no more. The main supply line into NCR is cut. 	Neutral 50 	No damage done, not yet. Maybe in years. Keeps the Bear fenced... if Caesar can't drive it back, fire might. 	
 	The Long 15 is no more. The main supply line into NCR is cut. 	Neutral 50 	Only delays the end for the Bull, a new wall for them to scale and cross... once they're done with the Mojave. And Hoover Dam. 	
 	The Long 15 is no more. The main supply line into NCR is cut. 	Neutral 50 	Never again do you or any other courier and caravan need walk that route. Let the Mojave breathe without that asphalt scar raking it. 	
 	I'll let your words answer it, from the tapes you left along the road to the Divide. 	Neutral 50 	{Slow, surprise} My words? {Beat, contempt} And what do {emph} my words teach you. 	
 	Who are you, who do not know your history? 	Neutral 50 	{Surprised} That question... {Beat, chewing it over} either you walked the Big Empty... {beat, nods} you found the last of the holotapes. 	
 	Who are you, who do not know your history? 	Neutral 50 	{Cold, not sure where the player is going with this} The words are mine. Whatever... "answer" you think they hold, you're wrong. It was a question, nothing more. 	
 	The Divide's irradiated... are you sure you want to stay here? 	Neutral 50 	The invisible fires burn here, true enough. Still... to have helped carry out such an act, then not face it... 	
 	The Divide's irradiated... are you sure you want to stay here? 	Neutral 50 	Not my way. If my life burns out here, so be it... until then, I wait and watch, see what the road brings. 	
 	I had other questions. 	Neutral 50 	{Matter-of-fact} Questions have a habit of making others. 	
 	Is this where you're making camp? 	Neutral 50 	Not a camp - vigil, maybe. Never claimed it as mine. {More a question} If anyone owns the Divide... {"well..."} your claim is stronger than mine. 	
 	Is this where you're making camp? 	Neutral 50 	Don't feel like adding a campfire to the ones that already burn below. {Beat, making offer} If you brought Mojave gifts, might be able to shape something for the road. 	
 	Any recipes you can teach? 	Neutral 50 	Depends what history has to say about them. There's a lot the land can provide... if you know the road that led to it. 	
 	Any recipes you can teach? 	Neutral 50 	Mojave's got ways of healing most ills - if not, some tribe's usually found a way you didn't expect. 	
 	Any recipes you can teach? 	Neutral 50 	Like Healing Powders. Tribes back West only use Xander and Broc flower. There's a way the Twin Mothers in the East used to brew it, though. 	
 	Any recipes you can teach? 	Neutral 50 	Called it Bitter Drink, mixed up the Xander and Broc in a bottle, added some kick to it so your head doesn't get all clouded. 	
 	Any more recipes.. or histories... you can teach? 	Neutral 50 	{Thinking} Antivenom's helpful around the Mojave with the Bark Scorpions. Even one sting can kill you. {Beat} Tunneler bite can be just as bad. 	
 	Any more recipes.. or histories... you can teach? 	Neutral 50 	My tribe, Twisted Hairs, had a better way than Antivenom, if you act fast. 	
 	Any more recipes.. or histories... you can teach? 	Neutral 50 	Snakebite Tourniquet - cuts off the venom, no need to scavenge glands and blood. {Himself, slight disgust} Or drink that mess. 	
 	Any more recipes.. or histories... you can teach? 	Neutral 50 	Part of the reason we wore our hair like we did, {corrects self} like I do now. 	
 	Any more recipes.. or histories... you can teach? 	Neutral 50 	Here's some for the road - trick to making it's not hard. {Beat} Get bit, hook and twist it. Fast as blinking, doesn't give poison time to sink in. 	
 	Any more recipes you can teach? 	Neutral 50 	Nothing more than I've already shared. We'll have to keep with what we know. {Beat} Tired of history's lessons, anyway. 	
 	Find anything in the dust of Hopeville? 	Neutral 50 	Nothing but wind, sand... ash. More may reveal itself in time, not now. 	
 	Find anything in the dust of Hopeville? 	Neutral 50 	If you're determined, return, might be something new surfaces. 	
 	Find anything in the dust of Hopeville? 	Neutral 50 	Wind and blood has uncovered more beneath the soil. 	
 	Find anything in the dust of Hopeville? 	Neutral 50 	If you want these Old World relics, they're yours... better you carry them than the Marked Men. 	
 	What's the Courier's Mile? Is that where the Ashton missile hit? 	Neutral 50 	My name for it. If you have a better one, you grant it - my choice in names won't carry past you and I. 	
 	What's the Courier's Mile? Is that where the Ashton missile hit? 	Neutral 50 	Lies along the road, running from the Hopeville silo... straight on to where the ground burns, and wind howls even stronger than here. 	
 	[Legion] Being Frumentarii kept you from killing me in the past. You have no such defense now. 	Neutral 50 	I believed in what I followed then. Kill no Courier, Caesar's words. I honored them. 	
 	[Legion] Being Frumentarii kept you from killing me in the past. You have no such defense now. 	Neutral 50 	Other Couriers could have been Legion - like me. Now, our allegiances are reversed. 	
 	If you meant to kill me, you should have done it long ago. 	Neutral 50 	Not if you believe in what you follow. Kill no Courier, Caesar's words. I honored them. 	
 	If you meant to kill me, you should have done it long ago. 	Neutral 50 	Other Couriers could have been Legion - like me. The truth is, you serve nothing, believe nothing. Killing you... meaningless. 	
 	(Speech>=90) I need to know why you're doing this - not for my sake, for history's sake. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Thinking} The why of it... you taught me the why of it. 	
 	(Speech>=90) I need to know why you're doing this - not for my sake, for history's sake. 	Neutral 50 	If you believe in something enough, you must be willing to let it burn, lest it claim you. 	
 	(Speech>=90) I need to know why you're doing this - not for my sake, for history's sake. 	Neutral 50 	These governments of the two-headed bear... the Legion... they carry Old World ideas into an age that no longer needs them, where they cannot live. 	
 	(Speech<90) So... you think dropping bombs on the Mojave is going to solve things? 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] Yes, that is what you proved to me at the Divide - what is here, what you showed me... it is enough. 	
 	(Speech<90) So... you think dropping bombs on the Mojave is going to solve things? 	Neutral 50 	You don't understand. {Beat} You will. 	
 	Your tapes prove you've walked the Mojave, yet learned the wrong lessons. 	Neutral 50 	Comes down to perspective, how far one's walked, and what they've left behind. 	
 	Your tapes prove you've walked the Mojave, yet learned the wrong lessons. 	Neutral 50 	{Challenging} If you challenge this moment, let's hear your perspective. If my words are all you have, let's hear them. 	
 	I believe destroying the symbol is never the answer. Changing it - that's something else. 	Neutral 50 	{Chewing it over, slight hope here} It may be... that as much destruction has been written in the earth here... 	
 	I believe destroying the symbol is never the answer. Changing it - that's something else. 	Neutral 50 	One buried this place, yet it lived on between us. One may build it again - build others. Your history has proven this, here. 	
 	I believe destroying the symbol is never the answer. Changing it - that's something else. 	Neutral 50 	There is truth in your words. But even if there is hope in change... it may not matter. The Divide still stands against us. 	
 	(Speech=100) I'm not talking about NCR or the Legion, I'm talking about our history. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Slight confusion} Our history... {frowns} the Divide. That history has been written, its lessons learned. 	
 	(Speech=100) I'm not talking about NCR or the Legion, I'm talking about our history. 	Neutral 50 	There is nothing more to be dug from these cracks in the earth, no more fury to be torn from its sky. 	
 	(Speech<100) I don't think that's what's important here. 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] If those are your last words, they are weak ones. Actions would have had more voice. 	
 	(Speech<100) I don't think that's what's important here. 	Neutral 50 	There is nothing more to be said between us. No words of yours will change what is about to happen. 	
 	The Legion doesn't abide traitors. What made you turn from the East? 	Neutral 50 	{Echoing, mocking, shaking head} Even after the road you've walked, you only see a traitor {emph} before you. 	
 	I don't care what happens to NCR, but I can't allow you to harm the Legion. 	Neutral 50 	Not all the East will burn. The Legion does not need to be destroyed, only... contained within new borders. 	
 	I don't care what happens to NCR, but I can't allow you to harm the Legion. 	Neutral 50 	After that, it will fall as any culture bred on war, on forward momentum. It will falter, collapse. 	
 	I don't care what happens to NCR, but I can't allow you to harm the Legion. 	Neutral 50 	I will start with their camp at Dry Wells... once my homeland. Justice of a sort. 	
 	Is this how it must end between us? You followed the East once, you can do so again. 	Neutral 50 	I cannot go back. I wandered too far, far enough to know my home was lost to me. 	
 	Is this how it must end between us? You followed the East once, you can do so again. 	Neutral 50 	{Resigned, a little sad} I could no more go back than you could return to the West. {Disgust} To NCR, and all its sickness. 	
I'm heading back to the Mojave to settle some things.	I'm heading back to the Mojave to settle some things. 	Neutral 50 	{As player is about to leave} Can hear the weight in your feet - youâre bound for that Old World wall. Hoover Dam. Maybe not now - in time. 	
You've wasted enough of my time. Get ready to die. 	I've heard enough. You're a Legion traitor, and now you'll die. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} I'll finish history's work. If the Divide couldn't kill you... perhaps these spears of the Old World can. 	
You've wasted enough of my time. Get ready to die. 	I've heard enough. You're a Legion traitor, and now you'll die. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} Let's end this, Courier, you and I. Here, with the Old World flag as witness. 	
 	Have you been to Hopeville since the Ashton missile hit? 	Neutral 50 	{Reflective} Walk there sometimes, keep the walks short. Still... it's important to see. Something else to answer for. 	
 	Have you been to Hopeville since the Ashton missile hit? 	Neutral 50 	Occasionally sift through the dust, the buildings... see if I can find some history. Marks of America. 	
 	Have you been to Hopeville since the Ashton missile hit? 	Neutral 50 	If you want them, keep them... you've earned it. Nothing to be gained by me holding them, and more will surface in time. 	
 	What's the history of it? 	Neutral 50 	{Smiles, "you want to know the history of it?"} History? Cures a wound, leaves the bitterness that caused it. {To himself, scorn} The Twin Mothers were always about lessons. 	
 	What's the history of it? 	Neutral 50 	Caesar taught them the last one, though, so that's it for them. Recipe still exists, Legion uses it on forced marches with wounded soldiers. 	
 	What's the history of it? 	Neutral 50 	Wouldn't have made it through Crimson River Trail a few years back without it - losing so much blood early on, was a Cazador feast. 	
 	What's the history of it? 	Neutral 50 	Enough Xander root and Broc flower along the trail though, the Legion was able to keep pace and get where they were going. 	
 	Can you share the recipe with me? 	Neutral 50 	Can do that and one better... {looking around} just enough around to mix some. Here - might make the Twin Mothers' history live a little longer, you carrying it. 	
 	Can you share the recipe with me? 	Neutral 50 	{Warning} When you drink it, down it all in one shot, or your stomach's not going to want to keep going after the second drink. 	
 	Caesar is dead, I killed him. 	Neutral 50 	{Thinking, slow} Name's died twice to history. If the West thanks you... the East won't, in time. Fall apart, back to the tribes, maybe. 	
 	Caesar is dead, died on the operating table. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} {Thinking, slow} Name's died twice to history. If the West thanks you... the East won't, in time. Fall apart, back to the tribes, maybe. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	{Slightly doubtful} Too soon to tell what will happen, let history weigh what youâve done, if it gets that far. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	{Delivered as if "still" at beginning} Unless you do the same for the Legate that comes, you'll get no thanks from me. When {emph} that Monster arrives, he's not going to have a leash. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet} Caesar could command him. Not now. The Bear's going to burn, and burn slow. 	
 	Are you angry at all? 	Neutral 50 	{Shrugs} He let another hold a knife to him. If he was weak enough to allow the knife so close to his neck, maybe it needed to be his ending. 	
 	Are you angry at all? 	Neutral 50 	{Emph} Caesar would be history's hypocrite if he was angry about what happened. I'm not one for it, either. 	
 	Are you angry at all? 	Neutral 50 	Seems you just proved his philosophy to him. If he'd been stronger, he'd be alive, and we wouldn't be talking. 	
 	I wasn't sure how you'd take it. 	Neutral 50 	{Shrugs} Done with blame, and Caesar was big on strength making right. Seems to me you proved that philosophy to him. 	
 	I wasn't sure how you'd take it. 	Neutral 50 	If he was too weak to stop you, too weak to defend himself, then he needed to die with his beliefs. 	
 	I could care less about history - and even less about Caesar. 	Neutral 50 	Wasn't his time, and wouldn't have been how he wanted to die. 	
 	I could care less about history - and even less about Caesar. 	Neutral 50 	{Himself} Not how most would've wanted him to die, either, Bear or Bull. 	
 	I reached Vegas, and I dealt with House. 	Neutral 50 	{Choosing his words carefully} House spoke, acted through machines. Sometimes can judge a man by his messengers. {Referring to player} Sometimes the messengers judge him. 	
 	I reached Vegas, and I dealt with House. 	Neutral 50 	Wonder what happens to Vegas now. The tribes - families. We'll see. 	
 	You donât sound happy. 	Neutral 50 	{Shakes his head, regretful, but player did right thing, "No..."} What you did was for the best. The Old World died long ago. Anyone who believes they can make it return and everything will be as it was... 	
 	You donât sound happy. 	Neutral 50 	...it is a dangerous belief. {Beat} Needs to be silenced before their belief spreads. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet, bring this to a close} If you saw House, you didnât see a man. An Old World spirit, perhaps - filthy, diseased. If so, killing him was mercy, not cruelty. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet, reverent, bring this to a close} Let House sleep in his chamber. Let him dream of the Old World {emph} he remembers, and keep those memories where they belong, in his head. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	{Reflective} Bear and Bull shed too much blood there to let it go. {Beat, "but..."} Can't stop you from going, wouldn't. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	A warning, though - the Legate, Lanius. Whether Caesar stands or not, Lanius will come. 	
 	Who is Legate Lanius? 	Neutral 50 	Lanius... the "Butcher." {Somber, recognizes name} Monster, Terror of the East. 	
 	Who is Legate Lanius? 	Neutral 50 	Not even his slaves have seen his face - struck them blind so they can't. Wears a mask, don't even know if it's the same man. 	
 	Who is Legate Lanius? 	Neutral 50 	He put Colorado to the sword, broke the Hangdogs by throwing their hounds upon the flames, so they might burn forever in the afterlife. 	
 	Enough. Whatever waits at Hoover Dam, I'm ready. 	Neutral 50 	{Farewell} Then there is nothing more to be done. {Beat} The Mojave awaits. 	
 	{DUPE}Enough. Whatever waits at Hoover Dam, I'm ready. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} {Farewell} The Divide belongs to history now. {Beat} The Mojave awaits. 	
 	Enough. Whatever waits at Hoover Dam, I'm ready. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} {Farewell} The Divide belongs to history now. {Beat} The Mojave awaits. 	
 	He's just one general. I can handle him. 	Neutral 50 	Lanius carries all the terrors of the East with him. He's the myth, the weapon the Legion needs. 	
 	He's just one general. I can handle him. 	Neutral 50 	When he arrives, he'll fall on Hoover Dam like a hammer, {quiet} break the Bear in two. 	
 	Why is he coming West? 	Neutral 50 	To take Hoover Dam, Legion will need something as big as the Old World itself - another symbol, forged by history. 	
 	Any idea on how to beat him? 	Neutral 50 	{Slow, reflective} Nineteen tribes could not do it. All the lights in Vegas cannot. 	
 	He must have a weakness. 	Neutral 50 	His strength lies in his title - and it is his weakness. He will not fight a losing battle and destroy what he represents. 	
 	He must have a weakness. 	Neutral 50 	Put the idea of loss in him. Convince him the Bear will not be the twentieth tribe beneath his heel, it will make him pause like nothing on earth. 	
 	He must have a weakness. 	Neutral 50 	You do not need to convince him alone. Draw upon history. The past of other Legates are not filled with victories. Remind Lanius of this. 	
 	Other Legates? 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} There are other Legates, and the one before Lanius couldn't take Hoover Dam for Caesar. 	
 	Other Legates? You mean Graham. 	Neutral 50 	Yes. Graham was broken on the wall of the Dam. 	
 	I got your final message. 	Neutral 50 	{Slightly amused} Didn't think I'd be breathing to hear you say that. {Beat, “Still...”} Message isn't important, meaning is. 	
 	I got your final message. 	Neutral 50 	Had to speak of it, in case the words got lost in paper, ink, or other's voices. Maybe even yours, in time. 	
 	I got your final message. 	Neutral 50 	Still, meant for you. Courier to Courier. {Beat} Belongs to you now, or history. Doesn't matter. 	
 	What do you mean? 	Neutral 50 	There are other Legates, and the one before Lanius couldn't take Hoover Dam for Caesar. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	That Legate's mistake is he didn't die trying. His name was Joshua - Joshua Graham. Answered for his failure - twice, some say. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	Caesar had him burned and cast into the earth, into the largest canyon you've ever seen. Watched the flames trail all the way to the bottom. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	Somehow Joshua walked away from that, went beyond Caesar's gaze. His footsteps trailing fire, walking from one hell - maybe to another. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	{Thinking about self and player} When one is ruined like Graham was... sometimes home is the only place left. If so, he went to New Canaan, Caesar's anger written on him like a book. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	Caesar's orders to the Frumentarii were to watch for him, find Graham. Kill him. {Beat} Didn't try. Could've, no good would have come of it. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet, introspective} Graham earned his life, and his nature... it'll kill him more surely than any blade of the Legion. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet, like let it rest} So if you've heard word of it or seen sign of him, let it keep. {Beat, downnote} Let his history keep. 	
I'll remember that. 	{DUPE}I'll remember that. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} {Farewell} The Divide belongs to history now. {Beat} The Mojave awaits. 	
We'll leave it to history, then. 	{DUPE}We'll leave it to history, then. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} {Farewell} The Divide belongs to history now. {Beat} The Mojave awaits. 	
 	In the logs of the White Legs, you mentioned your tribe, and its past. 	Neutral 50 	My tribe? That log... {disgusted at White Legs} no, it concerned the White Legs, training them to kill. For Caesar. 	
 	In the logs of the White Legs, you mentioned your tribe, and its past. 	Neutral 50 	There is no meaning there beyond the road to New Canaan. The history of the murder of its people. And Caesar's past. 	
 	[NCR] Even if you have no faith in the NCR, I do. My actions have proven it. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Hesitant} Your actions have carried strength. 	
 	[Legion] The Legion is stronger than you know. If you would judge them, hear me first. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Hesitant} There is conviction in your words, enough to rival a Legate, perhaps Caesar. You believe what you say. 	
 	[Vegas] Even if you have no faith in Vegas, I do... and my actions have proven it. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Hesitant} Your actions have carried strength. More importantly, not for House, but for the families on the Strip. 	
 	[NCR] You might not believe in nations. I do. 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] Words are not enough to bear the weight of your flag - {disdain} if you follow anything at all. 	
 	[NCR] You might not believe in nations. I do. 	Neutral 50 	Speeches are things of NCR, words without strength. Your actions have shown nothing. {Beat} Your flag will burn. The Mojave will follow. 	
 	[Legion] You might not believe in nations. I do. 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] You came from the West, walked there. You carry its sickness East to the Legion - and do not believe their cause enough to honor them. 	
 	[Legion] You might not believe in nations. I do. 	Neutral 50 	What I give the Legion is a swifter death than the disease you bring. You have not the strength to bear a Legion standard. 	
 	[Vegas] You might not believe in nations. I do. 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] You serve Vegas ghosts, not the tribes Vegas devoured. House is not the people of Vegas - you have walked the Strip, yet have seen nothing. 	
 	[Vegas] You might not believe in nations. I do. 	Neutral 50 	Your carelessness for the paths you walk - it has destroyed the city you serve. {Beat} NCR will burn. Then the walls of Vegas will follow. 	
 	[Rep] You might not believe in nations. I do. 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] {Cold} Yet you follow nothing at all. 	
 	[Rep] You might not believe in nations. I do. 	Neutral 50 	You have walked the Mojave, let the shadow of flags fall upon you, yet walk carelessly, no allegiance. Your words - empty as your actions. 	
 	You might not believe in nations. I do. 	Neutral 50 	If you speak for the two-headed Bear, I'll hear your words. Even if I will be the only one to hear them. 	
 	You might not believe in nations. I do. 	Neutral 50 	If you believe it should not die this day... then answer me why. 	
 	You might not believe in nations. I do. 	Neutral 50 	{Suspicious} If you feel I do not know the Legion's strength - then I will listen. 	
 	You might not believe in nations. I do. 	Neutral 50 	If the ghosts of Vegas have come from behind their wall to speak for the West, I'll hear their words. 	
 	You might not believe in nations. I do. 	Neutral 50 	If you believe that Vegas does not deserve to die as the Bear does... then answer me why. 	
 	Nothing more to say, I've already won. Everything you hate about me, you've become. 	Neutral 50 	{Frowns} If you seek to anger me, words won't be enough. Your moral ground is weak here in the Divide. 	
 	If you blame me for the Divide, then let me answer for it, not others. 	Neutral 50 	{Scoffs} Blame you? No, {emph} learned from you. Both the weapon to kill a nation, and the strength to do it. 	
 	If you blame me for the Divide, then let me answer for it, not others. 	Neutral 50 	You showed me a road, a way to carry my message. {Beat, slight snide} You've already answered for what you've done. {Cold} Now the flag you follow will answer for it. 	
 	What happened at the Divide, what I did, was an accident. What you're doing - it's madness. 	Neutral 50 	{Angry, low} No, now there is {emph} purpose. {Disgust} I believe you when you say you were... careless. The Divide... the Chip... the machine you brought here... 	
 	What happened at the Divide, what I did, was an accident. What you're doing - it's madness. 	Neutral 50 	{Emph} Many messages can be taken from that, intended or not. What I do now is an act of conviction. 	
 	So, what - you intend to bomb the Mojave? 	Neutral 50 	No, the West. The East. It doesn't matter - the death of either one kills the other, Vegas along with it. {Beat} The West shall answer first. 	
 	So, what - you intend to bomb the Mojave? 	Neutral 50 	No, not the Mojave. The West, all that's been built since America died. Same symbols as before the war, now a flag carried by a tribe of children. 	
 	So, what - you intend to bomb the Mojave? 	Neutral 50 	You walked the West, didn't stay. You know the reason... the Bear grows without structure, follows a symbol without knowing its history. 	
 	This is between you and me, not anyone else. 	Neutral 50 	No... the paths we've walked. The roads, and the flags above them, carry equal blame. 	
 	You can go home again, Courier. Not a message for me, for you. 	Neutral 50 	{Cold} My home in the East, Dry Wells, is no more. It is part of the Legion. 	
 	You can go home again, Courier. Not a message for me, for you. 	Neutral 50 	The only other home... the chance of a home... was what you built at the Divide. Then you destroyed it. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	And knowing that you believe in the Bear's sickness and have given it strength... then that gives more reason to lay waste to your homeland. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	The sickness of the Bear already lies within you, even if you uphold the East. If there were time, I would let you kill the Legion. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	But no, the Legion will burn as well. Without the West to challenge it... its shore will be closer than before. It will feed on itself, die. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	Without NCR to support it, Vegas will fall to the Legion. That grave of lights, back to dust and ghosts, as was meant. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	After this, only one flag will remain over the Mojave. Let that one fly, or destroy itself. 	
 	 	Anger 50 	You don't see, listen - even when it's all around you, no matter if I nailed it into your head like a gift from Caesar. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	You brought the Divide to life, Courier. You walked the road. Brought the Bear, then the Bull, brought me, following your tracks. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	And when I saw the Divide you made, I saw a second chance, a new way of thinking. {Beat} My world - no longer the East. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	Then you brought the West in that package. Destroyed it all. Nearly killed me, flesh and spirit. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	You destroyed something larger than the Bear, greater than the Bull. And even when you could have turned away, you brought it again, in that machine. 	
 	 	Neutral 50 	You destroyed a nation taking its first breath. {Low} A place that could have been my {emph} home. {Beat} Now, I'll destroy yours. 	
 	You can't destroy the West, even with all the missiles here. 	Neutral 50 	{Scoffs} No need to destroy the Bear, just cut its throat. 	
 	You can't destroy the West, even with all the missiles here. 	Neutral 50 	You taught me that at the Divide - only need to cut off the supply line, the road, to watch something greater die. 	
 	You can't destroy the West, even with all the missiles here. 	Neutral 50 	I'll turn the Long 15 into miles of fire, cut off the Mojave. NCR will fall back, lose Hoover Dam... and leave their throats exposed to the Legion. 	
 	Do you think I care if you fire missiles at NCR? Go ahead. 	Neutral 50 	You destroyed your own homeland. Seeing a nation burn? Didn't think that would matter any more to you. 	
 	Do you think I care if you fire missiles at NCR? Go ahead. 	Neutral 50 	There's a strength in that... lack of attachment. Still, you're here now. If there's no more answers you want, then we'll end this. 	
 	One can build a community, make it stronger. You saw it at the Divide, even blamed me for it. 	Neutral 50 	[SUCCEEDED] {Reluctant} History has proven this. Our history. 	
 	One can build a community, make it stronger. You saw it at the Divide, even blamed me for it. 	Neutral 50 	{Slight disdain} And you think that you have this strength? Enough for {emph} all of NCR? 	
 	One can build a community, make it stronger. You saw it at the Divide, even blamed me for it. 	Neutral 50 	{Prove it} The West is not the Divide, and nothing you can do can prevent the missile's launch. {Testing, slow in the middle} Convincing me - changes nothing. 	
 	Because it should be given a chance? Its people don't deserve what's about to happen. 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] No... your answer is not enough. 	
 	Because it should be given a chance? Its people don't deserve what's about to happen. 	Neutral 50 	{Cold} They deserve what comes... and should answer for it, as you should. The Bear is a thing of the people that gather to it, as are all symbols. 	
 	Because it should be given a chance? Its people don't deserve what's about to happen. 	Neutral 50 	You believe. Yet... you believe in the wrong symbol. {Slightly sympathetic} Let it give you what strength it can... soon, it will be no more. 	
 	When all seemed lost, you asked it even though you feared the answer. 	Neutral 50 	Fear? No. Anger. 	
 	When all seemed lost, you asked it even though you feared the answer. 	Neutral 50 	{Derisive, player failed} If you've heard my words and that's all you've taken from them, then I was right to cast them aside. 	
 	When all seemed lost, you asked it even though you feared the answer. 	Neutral 50 	{Disgust} If you ever had any ability to hear anything beyond your own footsteps... the Divide silenced it. Now, its voice will end you. 	
 	Well, I just said all that because I'm betting you have some way to stop all this. 	Neutral 50 	{Cold} So... you resort to trickery. You were hoping that you could deceive me, reveal that somehow I can {emph} stop all this. 	
 	Well, I just said all that because I'm betting you have some way to stop all this. 	Neutral 50 	{Cold, player blew it} Fire will rain on the West and the East, as intended, and the last words of the messenger of the Bull - nothing but lies. 	
 	Well, I just said all that because I'm betting you have some way to stop all this. 	Neutral 50 	{Cold, player blew it} The West will burn, as intended, and Vegas will follow. The last words of its messenger, were not for the people of the city, but lies and deceit. 	
 	Well, I just said all that because I'm betting you have some way to stop all this. 	Neutral 50 	{Cold, player blew it} Your nation will burn, as intended, and the last words of its messenger, were not for its people, but to beg for mercy. 	
 	I believe that one person can make... or break... a nation. You already know this. 	Neutral 50 	{Chewing it over, slight hope here} It may be... that as much destruction has been written in the earth here... you may build something else, as you built the Divide. 	
 	I believe that one person can make... or break... a nation. You already know this. 	Neutral 50 	You have spoken truly. There is a shadow of a nation behind you, the hope of a people... yet it may not matter. The Divide still stands against us. 	
 	Even if the missiles launch, and I die here - if I can convince you, that's enough for me. 	Neutral 50 	{Player has convinced him, nods, slow, quiet} It is... enough. 	
 	The Divide? What do you mean? 	Neutral 50 	{Thinking, resolved to die} Our enemies gather outside... shadows of the Bear and Bull... they will have found their way in, just as you did. 	
 	The Divide? What do you mean? 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet, rueful} It was always my intention - in case I could not kill you, the Marked Men would flood this place, cut off your escape. 	
 	The Divide? What do you mean? 	Neutral 50 	{This is the end sequence} If we cannot prevent what comes, then let us make our stand here. {Beat, final, somber} Two Couriers, together, at the Divide. 	
 	You told me once I gave life to the Divide. I can do it again, and give life to Vegas. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} [SUCCEEDED] {Reluctant} History has proven this. Our history. 	
 	You told me once I gave life to the Divide. I can do it again, and give life to Vegas. 	Neutral 50 	{Slight disdain} And you think that you have this strength? Enough to hold up NCR, long enough so that Vegas may live again? 	
 	You told me once I gave life to the Divide. I can do it again, and give life to Vegas. 	Neutral 50 	{Prove it} Even if you speak for Vegas and its ghosts, nothing you can do can prevent the missile's launch. {Testing, slow in the middle} Convincing me - changes nothing. 	
 	Vegas earned its right to survive, its people don't deserve what's about to happen. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} [FAILED] No... your answer is not enough. 	
 	Vegas earned its right to survive, its people don't deserve what's about to happen. 	Neutral 50 	{Cold} They deserve what comes. Vegas is born of the corrupt, the blind, lost, that gather to it. Without them... it would fall dark. 	
 	Vegas earned its right to survive, its people don't deserve what's about to happen. 	Neutral 50 	You believe. Yet... you have been blinded by the wrong symbol. {Slightly sympathetic} Let its light give you what strength it can... today marks its end. 	
 	It was all you could say to prevent from being killed. That's what I'm hoping for here. 	Neutral 50 	When I asked that question, death was certain. I wasn't begging for mercy. 	
 	There is no honor in murder from a distance, NCR or Legion. You know this from the Divide. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} [SUCCEEDED] {Reluctant} History has proven this. Our history. 	
 	There is no honor in murder from a distance, NCR or Legion. You know this from the Divide. 	Neutral 50 	{Slow, considering} You seek to use your own crimes to prevent mine. There... is a strange honor in that. Perhaps the shadow of the Bull does walk with you. 	
 	There is no honor in murder from a distance, NCR or Legion. You know this from the Divide. 	Neutral 50 	{Prove it} The West, the East - they are not the Divide, and nothing you can do can prevent the missile's launch. {Testing, slow in the middle} Convincing me - changes nothing. 	
 	If you bomb the West and East... is this how things should end? 	Neutral 50 	[FAILED] {Scoffs} You answer me with questions. {Sneers} Doubt. You were strong enough to come here - but not strong enough to speak for all the Legion. 	
 	If you bomb the West and East... is this how things should end? 	Neutral 50 	{Cold} This is the ending they deserve... a flag is a thing of the people that gather to it, as are all symbols. 	
 	If you bomb the West and East... is this how things should end? 	Neutral 50 	{Acknowledging player's strength, but...} You believe. Yet you do not see that killing a symbol with its own weapon carries justice of its own... just as it will when the East dies as well. 	
 	You were trapped, needed to escape, and needed the distraction. It was the key. 	Neutral 50 	I never sought to escape. I went to them to get an answer or die. 	
 	The question reminded the ones you spoke to of their purpose, why they cared. 	Neutral 50 	{Cold, appraising} I spoke those words in anger, and I did not expect an answer. All was lost... I thought it was the end. 	
 	The question reminded the ones you spoke to of their purpose, why they cared. 	Neutral 50 	{Reflective} Past their graves of failed technology, they had cared about the flag they had followed... and the people beneath it. Even with them dead and gone. 	
 	The question reminded the ones you spoke to of their purpose, why they cared. 	Neutral 50 	{Rallying} But there's no answer in that. I do this because I care, because I believe it must be done. 	
 	Do you really think these missiles can kill everyone? 	Neutral 50 	Kill them - no. The symbol they follow? Yes, as surely as you did at the Divide. 	
 	If you believe the destruction of the Divide was just, then I cannot stop you. 	Neutral 50 	{Anger, "Justice"} Just? {Beat, spits this out} There was no justice in it, it was an act of carelessness, a coward. Killing an idea, before it had a chance... 	
 	If you believe the destruction of the Divide was just, then I cannot stop you. 	Neutral 50 	{Stops, realizing} I see your meaning. You're tying this to {emph} our history... but it is different. The symbol I destroy, it has already proven itself wrong. 	
 	You said in the logs yourself that technology's a dead road. These missiles will solve nothing. 	Neutral 50 	Those are my words. After what happened with the Brotherhood... talking with them. 	
 	You said in the logs yourself that technology's a dead road. These missiles will solve nothing. 	Neutral 50 	Then with the rulers of the Big Empty. {Beat, rallying} But it is their philosophy that was flawed - their weapons, used with new perspective... 	
 	You said in the logs yourself that technology's a dead road. These missiles will solve nothing. 	Neutral 50 	Those weapons can be used to kill a symbol that has already proven itself wrong. 	
 	You said a home is a place you breathe life into, a moment where you know who you are. 	Neutral 50 	{Weighing the player's words} There is truth in that. History has proven it. 	
 	You said a home is a place you breathe life into, a moment where you know who you are. 	Neutral 50 	{Frowns, player's throwing words back at him} But Mojave's proof that no homeland is sacred... until the larger symbols are destroyed. 	
 	You said a home is a place you breathe life into, a moment where you know who you are. 	Neutral 50 	Whatever is built, the Bear, Bull... even Vegas... will tear it apart, convert it, either with purpose, or by accident. 	
 	By your standards? Or history's? 	Neutral 50 	Both. {Snarls} Why do you care. 	
 	It hasn't proven itself wrong. That's why the Legion and NCR conflict must continue. To test it. 	Neutral 50 	Test it. As you test me? As if you believe there is some other road here. 	
 	It hasn't proven itself wrong. That's why the Legion and NCR conflict must continue. To test it. 	Neutral 50 	Nothing can prevent what comes. The missiles will launch. {Beat} These questions - your words, or mine - what do they matter to you. 	
 	Any symbol deserves a chance to defend itself, by words or acts - not... this. 	Neutral 50 	As you defend it now? 	
 	But your tribe was New Canaan. 	Neutral 50 	{Disdain, player has it wrong} New Canaan? My tribe? 	
 	The White Legs might as well have been your people. 	Neutral 50 	{Disdain, player has it wrong} The White Legs? To even claim they were shadows of the Twisted Hairs... 	
 	The White Legs might as well have been your people. 	Neutral 50 	No, whatever words you heard, they were not mine. 	
 	I'm talking about the past, in the respect they showed you. 	Neutral 50 	{Slight confusion, doesn't understand what the player meant} Respect...? 	
 	In the log, you said they were shadows, in the way they wore their hair. 	Neutral 50 	{Recognition} The braids I wore. They took that from me, thought it made them more like me, more willing to have Caesar listen. 	
 	In the log, you said they were shadows, in the way they wore their hair. 	Neutral 50 	They didn't know what the braids meant, the mark of my tribe before Caesar came... before Vulpes came for them at Dry Wells. 	
 	In the log, you said they were shadows, in the way they wore their hair. 	Neutral 50 	There was death in that meeting, even while Vulpes smiled - asked for our help against the other tribes. 	
 	In the log, you said they were shadows, in the way they wore their hair. 	Neutral 50 	All the while, they were looking to cast our history on the fire. And did. Another tribe, consumed by the Bull - nothing left. 	
 	In the death of that history, another was born, and you grew to respect the White Legs. 	Neutral 50 	{Disdain} Respect the White Legs? That tribe of jackals? Never. 	
 	But the Twisted Hairs survived, even after Caesar. 	Neutral 50 	No, they didn't. They were ended, completely. Became part of history's march. 	
 	But the Twisted Hairs survived, even after Caesar. 	Neutral 50 	If you feel there is meaning in the White Legs taking the braids of my tribe... what they did... insult, not respect. 	
 	So you carry two symbols then - the mark of America and the Twisted Hairs, neither dead. 	Neutral 50 	{Frowns} Both... both survived, pieces of them. Remnants, nothing more. 	
 	It's proof that killing a symbol is going to be harder than you thought. 	Neutral 50 	Back to symbols and history, then. Hard to kill... like Couriers. 	
 	It's proof that killing a symbol is going to be harder than you thought. 	Neutral 50 	You're saying when the meaning gets lost - that what happens here, can make things worse. {Beat} Happened in the Mojave. Flags of the Bear and Bull. 	
 	You're planning to kill a nation from a distance, just like NCR - just like you accused me of. 	Neutral 50 	{Frowns} What do I care for your perspective. You walk blindly, foolishly into death, your own and others. 	
 	You're planning to kill a nation from a distance, just like NCR - just like you accused me of. 	Neutral 50 	You do not rule my actions, and do not mistake my acts for yours. 	
 	If my words won't change your mind, what about the messages in the Eyebot? 	Neutral 50 	The machine made from the parts of Navarro? It had only one message in its core - to get home, at any cost. 	
 	If my words won't change your mind, what about the messages in the Eyebot? 	Neutral 50 	It echoes its master... and soon the missiles here will as well. 	
 	The Divide survived in you. If it felt like something fighting for, you can rebuild it. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} Nothing can prevent what comes. The missiles will launch. {Beat} These questions - your words, or mine - what do they matter to you. 	
 	Look, just the fact we're talking should mean you don't want to do this. 	Neutral 50 	No. You are wrong. Words will not bridge this. 	
 	Don't even suggest we're equals. You couldn't have done this without me bringing you what you need.	Neutral 50 	{Sneers, anger, player's getting to him} You were tricked. Still, you take pride in it. 	
 	No danger there. You skipped past where you build the community, moved onto killing one. 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} Nothing can prevent what comes. The missiles will launch. {Beat} These questions - your words, or mine - what do they matter to you. 	
 	I want you to die knowing you're wrong, and that's what history will remember. 	Neutral 50 	{Cold} We fight over how we will be remembered, then. 	
 	It has history inside it. The logs of what's left of "America." 	Neutral 50 	{Slight anger, what is this nonsense} There is nothing inside the machine except the means to awaken the missiles in the Divide. {Emph} That is its only message. 	
 	Its logs tell of a place where America survived... may still exist. And it's falling apart. 	Neutral 50 	{Frowns, suspicious} You lie. There was only one message in the machine, only one message in the package you brought. 	
 	Its logs tell of a place where America survived... may still exist. And it's falling apart. 	Neutral 50 	The Divide bore the symbol of America... as did the package from Navarro. The origins of the machine is... of no importance. 	
 	The package I brought was from Navarro, the Divide scanned ED-E's logs from the Mojave. 	Neutral 50 	{Angry} What do you seek to gain by telling me this. If you think that the symbol I wear is a weakness... 	
 	I believe the missiles can't be stopped. If you believe me, though, we might get through this. 	Neutral 50 	If we must survive to carry its message... then that is what shall be done. I will not let America die here. 	
 	I believe the missiles can't be stopped. If you believe me, though, we might get through this. 	Neutral 50 	But... it may not matter. Even if we lay down our weapons, the Divide... it still stands against us. 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 1} 	Disgust 50 	{NCR Opening} There's your signal... faint, but there. {Beat, slight condemnation} Just like NCR - voice without fire, without strength, sick.{No sound file} 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 1} 	Anger 50 	Heard tales of you walking the Mojave. Giving the two-headed bear strength. Giving hollow men like Kimball, like Crocker, half the life Hanlon had.

 	{Ulysses Cut-In 1} 	Disgust 50 	Now see the road the Old World paves... and what the lights of New Vegas promise, if they haven't blinded your eyes. 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 1} 	Disgust 50 	{Normal Opening} There's your signal. Faint, but there. {Beat, matter-of-fact} You came, good. Curious, maybe.{No sound file} 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 1} 	Anger 50 	You walked the Mojave without a flag on your back. That'll end soon, can't walk the Long 15 and not have a nation's shadow fall on you. 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 1} 	Disgust 50 	Maybe you just need to be tested. Or you believe in nothing. {Cold accusing} We'll see. 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 2} 	Neutral 50 	{Contacting player through radio} There you are, you went quiet for a time... knew killing the Bear wouldn't prove easy... {slight disgust, hates ED-E} you and your machine, you survived. 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 2} 	Neutral 50 	There's a lesson here, in the Divide. Old World history about paving and intentions could teach the Republic a thing or two - if they listened. 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 2} 	Neutral 50 	They have an idea of trying to do what's right, never quite getting there. Maybe you've seen it - Nipton, elsewhere. 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 2} 	Neutral 50 	{Contacting player through radio} Picking up the signal from your machine... was quiet for a time, thought the Road had claimed another of the Legion.{No sound file} 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 2} 	Neutral 50 	Too many of the Bull have already fallen here... to radiation, fire... and what burrows below. 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 2} 	Neutral 50 	{Contacting player through radio} There you are, you went quiet for a time... thought you might have returned to Vegas, its comforts. {Slight disgust} Maybe you took that machine with you.{No sound file} 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 2} 	Neutral 50 	There's a lesson here, in the Divide. Old World history about holding on to something so tightly it breaks... or falls apart. 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 2} 	Neutral 50 	May have seen the cracks in Vegas's walls already. If so, they'll grow, in time, no matter how much you back House. 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 2} 	Neutral 50 	{Contacting player through radio} There you are, you went quiet for a time. {Beat, slight disgust for machine} Then that signal came in strong from your machine, like a heartbeat.{No sound file} 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 2} 	Neutral 50 	Made your way through Old World towns, the tunnels that join them... now, the High Road. 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 2} 	Neutral 50 	For all you've seen behind you - {quieter} there's worse along this stretch. Deathclaws - hunt the Marked Men, {even quieter, for emphasis} and they also hunt what burrows below. 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 3} 	Neutral 50 	Hopeville, High Road, Ashton... tiny cracks in the Earth, {emph} nothing compared to the road carved ahead.{No sound file} 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 3} 	Neutral 50 	Before you... this is the {emph} edge of the Divide. Ahead lies your work, the history you burned in the earth. {Beat, emph} What you brought to the people here. 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 4} 	Neutral 50 	{Cold} Thought that explosion, that building falling deep in the Divide might have been your work... wouldn't kill you, maybe close. {AUDIO: Need more distortion here, Ulysses just cut in.} 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 4} 	Neutral 50 	Knew you'd survive... but no need to go any farther. You've brought me what I need - that machine with you, sealed in the Hopeville silo. 	
 	{Ulysses Cut-In 4} 	Neutral 50 	Needed someone to unlock it - bring it home. {Cold} Now the signal's strong enough, no need for you to carry it anymore. I can call your machine to me. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingSlideDivide0 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} {Male} As for the Courier... he turned his back on his home for the second time and made his way back, navigating the treachery of the Divide. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingSlideDivide0 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} {Female} As for the Courier... she turned her back on her home for the second time and made her way back, navigating the treachery of the Divide. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingSlideDivide02 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} Tunnelers and the Marked Men... avoided the lone figure, as if recognizing the Courier's right to passage... or out of fear. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingSlideFinale 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} {Draw it to a close} And this road - has reached its end. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingMissileLaunchNCR01 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} {Target: NCR} ...missiles fell on NCR and the Long 15 caravan route beyond the Mojave Outpost, the road the Courier had been walking when the tale began. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingMissileLaunchNCR01 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} Caravans and NCR outposts along the route were reduced to ash, an Old World gift from the Divide. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingMissileLaunchNCR01 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} {Target: Legion} ...missiles fell on the East and the Legion encampment at Dry Wells... where the Twisted Hairs had allied, then been betrayed by Vulpes and Caesar. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingMissileLaunchNCR01 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} Legion soldiers died, their silhouettes blasted into the ground and earth, the last word of the last of the Twisted Hairs. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingMissileLaunchNCR02 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} {Target: NCR} As catastrophic as the damage was for NCR, the act made the Courier stronger for having no history, and no retreat. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingMissileLaunchNCR02 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} It was an ending to things - a way of erasing the road that had led to this point and the history that had walked with it. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingMissileLaunchNCR02 	Neutral 50 	{DUPE} {Narration} {Target: Legion} It was an ending to things - a way of erasing the road that had led to this point and the history that had walked with it. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingSlideStart 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} {Wild Wasteland} {Target: Both Factions} The Couriers finally, really did it. They blew up the lands West and East of the Mojave... damning them all to hell. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingSlideStart 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} The act was discovered 200 years later, as other Couriers explored the Mojave wastes. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingSlideStart 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} There, they saw NCR relics, reminders of their once proud history. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingSlideStart 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} {Target: Both Factions} The Divide erupted in fire, violent, red, as the last message of the two Couriers arced into the sky... 	
 	NVDLC04EndingSlideStart 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} The missiles rained like spears down on the land, burning flags and communities alike... destroying all they struck. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingSlideStart 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} The history of the West was erased for the second time, thorough and complete... and America slept once more. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingSlideStart 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} {Target: One Faction} The Divide erupted in fire as the flame trail of the two Couriers' last message arced into the sky... 	
 	NVDLC04EndingSlideSunset01 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} It's said war - war never changes. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingSlideSunset02 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} {Male - correcting the previous statement} Men do, through the roads they walk. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingSlideSunset02 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} {Female - correcting the previous statement - war never changes} Women do, through the roads they walk. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingUlyssesAlive01 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} Hopeville burned lightless in the night, invisible fires of radiation scorching it from within and without. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingUlyssesAlive01 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} It is said a man still walked its streets, with a tattered jacket, an Old World flag etched on the back... 	
 	NVDLC04EndingUlyssesAlive02 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} He remained there, perhaps as punishment for the scars he left on the wastes - or a reminder of a history he could not forget. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingUlyssesAlive02 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} For Ulysses... his journey was over. The Courier had been the end of {"emph" refers to Ulysses} his road. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingUlyssesDead01 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} At the end of the struggle, only one Courier remained in the heart of the Divide. The {emph} true Courier, Courier Six. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingUlyssesDead01 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} The Courier tore the ancient flag of the Commonwealth from its cables, and cast it over the corpse... 	
 	NVDLC04EndingUlyssesDead02 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} ...though whether done as a sign of respect, or in anger for what had been endured to reach this moment - that is unknown. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingUlyssesDead02 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} Interpretation is something best left to history, and only the surviving Courier would ever know for certain. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingMissileLaunchLegion01 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} {Male} The Courier walked until he stood again upon the edge of the Divide, the last road he would walk before the second battle for Hoover Dam. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingMissileLaunchLegion01 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} {Male} There, beside his feet, was a final package, from one Courier to another - a footlocker, bearing a gift, and a message. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingMissileLaunchLegion01 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} {Female} The Courier walked until she stood again upon the edge of the Divide, the last road she would walk before the second battle for Hoover Dam. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingMissileLaunchLegion01 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} {Female} There, beside her feet, was a final package, from one Courier to another - a footlocker, bearing a gift, and a message. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingMissileLaunchLegion02 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} {Knowingly, confidentially} But that message - it is something for Couriers to carry, and for them alone. 	
 	NVDLC04EndingMissileLaunchLegion02 	Neutral 50 	{Narration} {Bring it to a close} The lights flickered across the Divide, reminders that the Old World histories persist, and find meaning in the present. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT1HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	...back again. Left that crater behind. Got a few holotapes left, ones from the medical center. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT1HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	The woman... she fixed the recorder. Said it wouldn't last, repayment for me fixing her. She doesn't like debts, can respect that. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT1HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	Payment enough, just to hear someone who believes in the Brotherhood of Steel. Not Elijah. Different view. Same madness. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT1HolotapeNote 	Disgust 50 	She answered me on their philosophy, their way of seeing - the roads they walk. {Disgust} Dead-ends. Empty... as if technology can solve anything. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT1HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet, reflective} Big Empty's proof where that road leads. {Beat} Just like the Divide, and all the roads that lead to it. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	Big Empty - there's something hidden there, a crater, past wind and sand - so deep in the desert, there's no turning back. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	Finding the crater was an accident, was following the weather patterns - the Divide sky torn like that, man's violence, not nature's. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	That violence in the sky, had a source. Tracked it. Like following a river current. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	Left the colors to mark my way, like always, case someone finds them, learns the pattern - the Courier might. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	When I thought sand and wind would never end... came to the crater. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	And there... there was an Old World facility, a weather station, at the edge, still raking the sky with electricity and generators. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	And beyond it... saw the rest of the Old World hell there, all carved up like garden plots. Had to see what was there, couldn't leave it be. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	{Slight irritation} Things sleep in the Big Empty, the Brotherhood woke them up - can't move quiet, any more than the two-headed Bear can. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	And when they woke up, it was like all of history waking up at once. Almost didn't make it out. {Beat, quiet} Almost. Left with answers I never intended. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	Have you ever wanted to speak to history - just to know the why of it? {Beat} I don't. Not any longer. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT3HolotapeNote 	Disgust 50 	There's old stories about gods and men, past history, into myth - where the gods, they're like children... petulant, cruel. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	{Emph} Those were the voices of the Big Empty, the past. Couldn't leave well enough alone, had to ask. Had to ask the why of it. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	{Slight frustration} Their answers were madness. And power, stronger than me, would take a hundred Elijahs... someone tougher than him or I to best them in their Dome. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	They didn't know why they were there, what had led to that point, their names - like serpents devouring themselves, cannibalizing their own thoughts. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	When all seemed lost, thought it was the end - my anger gave me strength to ask them my last question. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	{Echoing the question he asked the Think Tank} "Who are you, that do not know your history?" 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	{Slight reverence} And they awoke. For... a short time. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	The flag you wear, they said. We remember. America. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	It wasn't just a flag to them... it was a place, an idea they had {emph} cared for. Once. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	They told me what it was like to grow in that world... all they had done to lift it up... protect it. They... didn't know it was gone, that... 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	...yet they had cared once. Before forgetting their history. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	As they were talking... kept seeing the Courier's shadow behind them, giving each their words weight. History cast aside... a home, left behind. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	I listened. I asked. Was there anything left? {Emph} Anything that still carries America's voice? 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	And they told me I had already been there. I and one other, walking right out of history deeper than we knew. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesBigMT3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	They told me what lies in the heart of the Divide, what can be found there. And the words to awaken it - and the one to speak them. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesCombatEyebotDestroyed01 	Neutral 50 	{Dismissive/contempt} Destroying my machines won't help you. This facility will make more. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesCombatEyebotDestroyed02 	Disgust 50 	{Dismissive contempt, under his breath} Don't need Old World medicine to kill you. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesCombatEyebotsAllDestroyed 	Neutral 50 	{Slightly surprised, player destroyed all his robots} Didn't think you'd outlast the machines. {Slightly pleased, they can settle things personally} Good. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesCombatEyebotsDisabled01 	Neutral 50 	{Ulysses Fighting Eyebots have been disabled, matter-of-fact} Just you and me, then. {Slight beat, firm} Always was. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesCombatEyebotsDisabled02 	Neutral 50 	{Ulysses Healing Eyebots have been disabled, dismissive} Can't stop the Old World's return, Courier. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesCombatEyebotsHostile01 	Surprise 50	{Ulysses Fighting Eyebots have been turned against him, slight surprise} Took my machines? {To himself} Hnh. Underestimated you. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesCombatEyebotsHostile02 	Anger 50 	{Ulysses Healing Eyebots have been turned against him, slight anger} Machines might keep you alive, but they won't save you. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesCombatMarkedMenAllDead 	Neutral 50 	{All the Marked Men have died.} No more echoes of the Bull and the Bear. The rest will share their fate. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesCombatMarkedMenEnter 	Neutral 50 	{Marked Men enter the temple, dismissive} The dead men of the New World... they've come for you. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesCombatMarkedMenKilled01 	Anger 50 	{Marked Men have been killed, cold contempt} Kill as many as you want - the Divide will birth more. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesCombatMarkedMenKilled02 	Disgust 50 	{Marked Men have been killed} Killing them is mercy. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesCombatTaunt01 	Anger 50 	{Taunt, snarl} I'll end you - and your history. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesCombatTaunt02 	Disgust 50 	{Taunt, dismissive} Come all this way - to die alone. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesCombatTaunt03 	Neutral 50 	{Grim, taunt} Running out of time, Courier. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFinalMsgHolotape 	Neutral 50 	Last tape, last message. In case... you best me. If you're hearing this, you have, through blood or word. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFinalMsgHolotape 	Neutral 50 	This message, and all that lies with it - it is for you, Courier. If you want to know the... why of things. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFinalMsgHolotape 	Neutral 50 	This world, I've walked a good part of it... I stopped only because of you. What you did - gave me pause. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFinalMsgHolotape 	Neutral 50 	Long ago, I crossed the Colorado, the first among the Legion to see Hoover Dam in all its glory... an Old World wall, yet bridging two sides. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFinalMsgHolotape 	Neutral 50 	{Quieter} And beyond it, a symbol of a two-headed Bear, an idea great enough to challenge Caesar himself. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFinalMsgHolotape 	Neutral 50 	Might kill him, taking it, whether he won or lost. The Bull needs to fight, needs the challenge, without it... it falters, dies in the dust. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFinalMsgHolotape 	Neutral 50 	{To himself} Might be a lesson there, in you and me. {"I'll"} Leave the thought behind the message to you. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFinalMsgHolotape 	Neutral 50 	My message is this - the destruction that has been wrought, at the Divide - or elsewhere, if you couldn't stop me... 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFinalMsgHolotape 	Neutral 50 	It can happen again. It will {emph} keep happening. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFinalMsgHolotape 	Neutral 50 	If war doesn't change, men must change, and so must their symbols. {Beat, quiet} Even if it is nothing at all, know what you follow, Courier... 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFinalMsgHolotape 	Neutral 50 	...just as I followed you, to the end. Whatever your symbol... 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFinalMsgHolotape 	Neutral 50 	...carry it on your back, and wear it proudly when you stand at Hoover Dam. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesForceGreet 	Anger 50 	{Irritated, player hasn't given up} Even in this place, NCR's shadow falls. {Beat} Or is it just, you, {speaking title} Courier, without the Bear's corpse to weigh you down. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesForceGreet 	Anger 50 	{Irritated, player hasn't given up} So you came, {disgust} Frumentarii, {beat, title} Courier - whatever you are now. {Slight mocking} Come to carry out Caesar's law? His voice carries no weight here. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesForceGreet 	Anger 50 	{Irritated, player hasn't given up - hates Vegas} Your city, Vegas, lies in the other direction... with the rest of its slaves. {Beat} Or is it just, you, {speaking title} Courier, without the lights and ghosts. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesForceGreet 	Anger 50 	{Irritated, player hasn't given up} So you came, {disgust} Courier, to what - watch your homeland burn one last time. Kill me, perhaps. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesForceGreet 	Disgust 50 	{Beat, disgust, a little quieter - notices player's got ED-E with him} Judging by your shadow... maybe you can't let your machine go. Doesn't matter now. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesForceGreet 	Neutral 50 	Either way, the Divide giants are awakening. The missiles here, on their way home. {Cold} There is no way to stop them. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesForceGreet 	Neutral 50 	You are too late. The Divide is awakening - the package, and the message within, have come full circle. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesForceGreet 	Neutral 50 	The sequence has begun, just as before. Except this time, the missiles will touch the sky instead of being locked beneath the ground. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFriendMMUsesStealthboy 	Neutral 50 	{A Marked Man uses a stealthboy} Watch the shadows - the beasts cloak themselves in Old World tech. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFriendMMWithSatchelCharge 	Neutral 50 	{A Marked Man is throwing satchel charges} Watch the floor. Mines. {To himself} Tactics of the Bear. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFriendMarkedMenAllDead 	Neutral 50 	{All the Marked Men are dead, combat is over.} We've broken them. The Bear and the Bull have no more shadows to throw at us. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFriendMarkedMenEnter 	Neutral 50 	{Marked Men enter the Temple, combat starts} They come for us, East and West alike. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFriendMarkedMenHalfDead 	Neutral 50 	{Half of the Marked Men have died, combat is half over} We've shown them fear, but not enough. More will come. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFriendSentryDies01 	Neutral 50 	{To himself, robot is destroyed} Another Old World soldier falls. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFriendSentryDies02 	Neutral 50 	{To himself} Old World's running out of machines. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFriendTaunt01 	Neutral 50 	{Dismissive} Beasts from the Divide. To the Divide, they return. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFriendTaunt02 	Neutral 50 	Mercy killings - let them rest. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesFriendTaunt03 	Neutral 50 	You have forgotten all you were, traded glory for savagery. {Thoughtful} Fitting. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs1HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	{Studying weather, log to himself, thinking back} Emptiness here - like the sands of the Great Salt Lake, echoed. {Beat} The beating in the Divide sky... like storm drums of the White Legs. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs1HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	{Introspective} Ran with them on the salt beds, at Caesar's command - {recalling Caesar's orders, echoing them} cut the throats of the two-headed Bear, cut all communities off. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs1HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	Use storm, sky. Disease. Fire, starvation... and the violence of the ignorant to ruin all who {emph} could... might stand against him. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs1HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	But the White Legs... they couldn't live on their own, like most scavengers. So gave them purpose - turned their hunger into a weapon. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs1HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	The wall of New {CANE-in} Canaan... too high for Caesar. Too proud, maybe - {quiet} or maybe something there, from his past, that needed killing. Memory of Graham. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs1HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	Helped them dig out Canaan supply caches, and other secrets the sands hid - bunkers, filled with powered weapons even the Brotherhood might desire. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs1HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	They called these new weapons "storm drums" in the firing of shells. Taught them the power in the casings... to channel the spirits in their guns. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs1HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	Me... they called me the Flag-Bearer. Glory in my hand, in my staff that still bore the weight of the Old World just as the symbol on my back did. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs1HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	I learned their weapons as a means of respect. And when it came their turn to pay respect to me... history came rushing back. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs1HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	{Quiet, bring to a close} Can't escape what's been done. History's there... no matter how far you walk. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	I walked the Great Salt Lake as Caesar's eye, then his hand. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	Mongrels there, two-legs and four. Saw the walls of New Canaan the scavengers circled... hadn't the strength or fire to take. Too high, too strong. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	White Legs, they were born for war, they run to it, hungry for battle... yet their hunger is to be a part of history, something larger. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	Like the Legion. As always, brought them a message - from Caesar. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	{Paraphrasing message from Caesar} If New Canaan burns, Caesar might {emph} see them. {Scoffs} "Might." Even the chance was a lie. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	To honor Caesar - destroy the {emph} history of New Canaan, and the way they {emph} carry it - in their generations and family. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	Caesar respects such strength, I told them. That - that was truth, even if "strength" wasn't the word. {Correcting} Obedience. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	You must be willing to kill {emph} anyone, children, mothers, the weak, elders... if these New Canaanites value the generations, that is what you must kill. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	It was like Vulpes was speaking through me. Use the night, silence, and fire to change their words to pleas, to screams. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	No need for bombs when hate will do. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	I... asked the White Legs to destroy a people with ancestry, going back thousands of years - another death of history, lost to time. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	The New Canaanites... they supplied medicine. Food, traded with others. Civilization, a hand from the past, not history... 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	...but maybe a past deeper, farther than that to a place where this... {beat} God really exists. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs2HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	{Dismissive} If so, his handiwork and people belong elsewhere, not in this place. Another symbol, like Bear and Bull, with no meaning in the present. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	The White Legs... meant to show respect, bribe me for Caesar's favor, echoing mannerisms and words... 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	Showed them tech caches, taught them the workings of chamber and powder, spoke of Caesar's {emph} pride in those that used such things... lies. And... 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	{quiet disgust} ...and then... they tried to honor {emph} me - not the Legion. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	They brought me before the campfire one night, showed me how they changed themselves, how they wore their hair now. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	It was like my entire dead tribe in the firelight, teeth grinning red in the dark - eager corpses, blood-covered ghosts. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	They... had taken my braids, the way of the Twisted Hairs, as if it showed they were {emph} like me, {emph} of me... 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	...while every knot in their braids spoke of raping, violence - and ignorance of what the knots {emph} meant. They thought to show respect... defiled it. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	Lost myself in trying to read the braids they wove, when I remembered they had put no meaning in it. They had no history of what it meant. 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	They didn't even know the insult in the twists, knots... and Dry Wells came rushing back, the White Legs circled like that... 	
 	NVDLC04UlyssesWhiteLegs3HolotapeNote 	Neutral 50 	It was like looking at the dead of my tribe, reborn as ghosts - hateful, hungry, bowing to Caesar. {Quiet, bring to a close} Another history... gone, carried by me alone.
