| GREETING
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| Did Dr. Hildern... this really isn't any of my business, but... did he give you a job?
| 1
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| Little busy at the moment. But I can talk.
| 2
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| If you can find Keely and keep her safe, I'll pay you what I can. I gave my word, and I meant it.
| 3
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| Keely just called in. You should have heard the Director. "But I-" "Wait a-" "Now look here-" {very happy. impersonating Dr. Hildern at the end}
| 4
|
| Neutral 50
| She wouldn't let him finish a sentence. Just reamed him out for sending all those people to the Vault. I've never seen his face so red and twitchy. {happy}
| 5
|
| Neutral 50
| Thanks for keeping her safe. Here's the caps I promised. I knew I had a good feeling about you. {big warm smile for player}
| 6
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| Did you find Keely? You haven't been back for a while, so I was hoping...
| 7
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| Oh! Good to see you again.
| 8
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| Unless I hear from Keely, we've got nothing to talk about.
| 9
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| Keely still hasn't checked in. It's not like her...
| 10
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| After what happened with Keely, Hildern's got his eye on me. We shouldn't be talking... not anymore. {This is an excuse. She really wants to get rid of the player - he brings up bad memories.}
| 11
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| You're new? I'm Angela. Williams. Were you just looking around, or... {Player hasn't received Hildern's quest yet}
| 12

| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic000
| What is this place?
| Neutral 50
| This? The OSI lab. We don't get many visitors. The smell puts people off, I think.
| 13
|
| Neutral 50
| Nobody ever said science would smell clean and fresh. Anyway, you get used to it, if you give it some time.
| 14
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic001
| Are you a scientist?
| Neutral 50
| I know I don't sound the part. Get raised by brahmin ranchers, and you never lose the twang. Drives Hildern crazy.
| 15
|
| Neutral 50
| But I know every inch of the power grid from Hoover Dam to Shady Sands. That's what we do here - try to optimize the power output from the Dam.
| 16
|
| Neutral 50
| Some of the others are working on an agricultural project, but... truth be told, they aren't making much progress. Not yet, anyway.
| 17
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic002
| What's your role here?
| Neutral 50
| Head researcher. Mostly on the Dam project, but I help out on other things, when they need me. Got to be flexible.
| 18
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic003
| Need help with anything?
| Neutral 50
| You mean... give you work? No, that'd be up to the administrator. Hildern. He's back there in his office.
| 19
|
| Neutral 50
| Between you and me, I don't think he ever leaves. Plenty of mercs go in to see him, though.
| 20
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic004
| Mercenaries? What for?
| Neutral 50
| I can't say. We're not supposed to talk about the research. Not the details. If you're interested, I'm sure he'd see you.
| 21
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic005
| Goodbye.
| Neutral 50
| Nice to meet you. If you need anything, I'm almost always in the lab.
| 22
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic006
| Yes. He asked me to get some data from Vault 22.
| Neutral 50
| I shouldn’t say anything, I know that. But you’re not the first person Hildern's sent out to the vault.
| 23
|
| Yes. He asked me to get some data from Vault 22.
| Neutral 50
| There were a lot of mercs. One after another. None of them came back.
| 24
|
| Neutral 50
| Then, about a week ago, there was a scientist. Keely. She's unusual, not the sort of person you'd expect, but she's an absolute genius, and...
| 25
|
| Neutral 50
| And he didn't mention her? Not even her name? Or any of the other mercs?
| 26
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic007
| Why so interested?
| Neutral 50
| Not interested. More concerned. It's just... you're not the first person he's sent to Vault 22. And I know he'd never tell you. {player just asked why she was interested}
| 27
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic008
| You're right. It's none of your business.
| Neutral 50
| We shouldn't even be talking about this, I know. But I think someone should tell you. You're not the first one he's sent to Vault 22.
| 28
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic009
| No. Hildern didn't mention anyone else.
| Neutral 50
| But now he's hired you. Which means one of two things. Either he heard back from Keely, and she failed, or he's given up on her.
| 29
|
| No. Hildern didn't mention anyone else.
| Neutral 50
| Listen. I make a fair wage, but I'm not rich, not by any means. Maybe my kind of money wouldn't appeal to your average merc.
| 30
|
| Neutral 50
| But I'm willing to pay you, if you'll find Keely and make sure she's safe. Isn't right leaving her out there, no idea if she's alive or dead.
| 31
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic010
| All right. I'll look for her.
| Neutral 50
| I had a good feeling about you. Moment you walked in. I mean it. {big smile - player agreed to help her}
| 32
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic011
| Maybe Hildern and I need to have another talk.
| Neutral 50
| No, wait! I don't mean to see any harm come to Dr. Hildern. Unless by "talk" you just mean... talk.
| 33
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic012
| It never came up. Doesn't bother me.
| Neutral 50
| No, I knew the danger wouldn't. I'm not trying to scare you off the job.
| 34
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic013
| I'll try, but no promises.
| Neutral 50
| That's all I ask. She might even be able to help you. As long as you don't speak too well of Dr. Hildern.
| 35
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic014
| Not my problem. Keely is on her own.
| Neutral 50
| I know it's not your business to fend for anyone but yourself. If not for her, do it for the caps. That's all I'm asking.
| 36
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic015
| I have some questions.
| Neutral 50
| Of course. Anything.
| 37
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic016
| Goodbye.
| Neutral 50
| Right. Good luck.
| 38
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic017
| Can you tell me anything else about Keely?
| Neutral 50
| Keely's brilliant... an absolute genius. She plays at being mean, but it's all a front.
| 39
|
| Neutral 50
| When you've lived as long as she has, you get defensive around new people. Who wants to make a friend when you know you'll outlive them?
| 40
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic018
| I hear the food around here is pretty bad.
| Neutral 50
| It's foul, to tell the truth. Most people try to get what they can from the outside... even if it's just a smuggled candy bar, now and then.
| 41
|
| Neutral 50
| Contreras is a genius, he can find almost anything you'd want. Takes caps to get him motivated, though. He won't do a thing for free.
| 42
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic019
| What do you think of Dr. Hildern?
| Neutral 50
| The Director? He's... very well-spoken. And... knowledgeable. {Trying not to say something negative about her boss.}
| 43
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic020
| Hildern mentioned the Followers of the Apocalypse...
| Neutral 50
| My father used say good things about them, but that was years ago... back when they'd teach farmers and ranchers about crop rotation and the like.
| 44
|
| Neutral 50
| Nowadays... they've changed. They're doing what they can to discredit the NCR, give us a bad name with the locals.
| 45
|
| Neutral 50
| Dr. Hildern trained with them, years ago. Not me, though. I'm an OSI girl.
| 46
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic021
| What's your role here?
| Neutral 50
| Head researcher. Mostly on the Dam project, but I help out on other things, when they need me. Got to be flexible.
| 47
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic022
| Goodbye.
| Neutral 50
| Right. Stay safe.
| 48
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic023
| Exactly how old is Keely?
| Neutral 50
| I couldn't get her to say. But she talked about the war - the great war, when the bombs fell - like she'd been there.
| 49
|
| Neutral 50
| So I'm guessing... pretty old. Two hundred years? Maybe more.
| 50
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic024
| That's not much of an endorsement. What do you *really* think?
| Neutral 50
| [FAILED] Wouldn't be right for me to say. He's my boss... and he took a chance, bringing me out here as lead researcher.
| 51
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic025
| He seemed focused on results. Maybe not so much on people.
| Neutral 50
| [SUCCEEDED] He's not what you'd call... warm. Unless he wants something from you. And even then, it's kind of a cold warm.
| 52
|
| Neutral 50
| Most of the time, I focus on the science and try to forget him. He doesn't get mixed up in any actual work. Though he tells people that he does.
| 53
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic026
| So Dr. Hildern takes credit for your work?
| Neutral 50
| He sure does. Everyone knows it. I've just got to endure this job until the project is finished.
| 54
|
| Neutral 50
| But abandoning Keely... he crossed a line. Taking credit for other people's work is one thing. Sending people to die in the waste is another.
| 55
|
| Neutral 50
| If Hildern tries to recruit any more mercs, I'm going to warn them. What can he do to me? I'm the only one who can run this lab.
| 56
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic027
| Keely's dead. But I found her research notes.
| Neutral 50
| Dead? But that's... terrible. You're sure? You saw her body? With the way she looks, maybe she just seemed dead, and she really wasn't...
| 57
|
| Neutral 50
| No... you've seen enough death to know the difference. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful. I know you tried.
| 58
|
| Neutral 50
| The notes count for something. I'll keep them safe. Keely's work in the vault won't be lost, and it won't be forgotten.
| 59
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic028
| How do Keely and Hildern get along?
| Neutral 50
| Like a brahmin and a deathclaw. Though I'm not sure which would be which. Bad analogy, maybe - they're both deathclaws, in their way.
| 60
|
| Neutral 50
| Keely hates Hildern. She says he's more politician than scientist, and gets in the way of true discovery.
| 61
|
| Neutral 50
| And Hildern hates Keely because... well, because every time they meet, she makes him look like an ass. In front of important people, usually.
| 62
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic029
| Keely's dead.
| Neutral 50
| Dead? But that's... terrible. You're sure? You saw her body? With the way she looks, maybe she just seemed dead, and she really wasn't... {shocked, disbelieving}
| 63
|
| Neutral 50
| No... you've seen enough death to know the difference. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful. I know you tried. {realizing that her friend is really dead}
| 64
|
| Keely's dead.
| Neutral 50
| Keely was brilliant... she'd seen so much. What a horrible waste... {very sad, crushed. Play this line is player didn't recover Keely's notes.}
| 65
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic030
| <Lie> Keely is safe. She's just finishing up some research in the vault.
| Neutral 50
| [SUCCEEDED] She is? But she didn't call in. Keely wouldn't waste a chance to yell at Dr. Hildern. {doesn't quite believe the player}
| 66
|
| Neutral 50
| But if she's caught up in her notes... I guess she might have forgotten. {rationalizing the player's story to herself}
| 67
|
| Neutral 50
| Sorry. I shouldn't question your word. If you say Keely's safe, I owe you these caps.
| 68
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic031
| Goodbye.
| Neutral 50
| Thanks again. Really. I owe you. {earnest}
| 69
|
| VFreeformVault22AngelaKearnyTopic032
| <Lie> Yes, Keely's fine. We escaped the Vault together.
| Neutral 50
| [FAILED] No. That can't be right. Keely would've called in. {doesn't believe the player's story}
| 70
|
| Neutral 50
| Maybe you think you helped her... I don't know. But I need to hear from Keely. Personally. {trying not to come right out and accuse player of lying}
| 71
|
| Neutral 50
| Otherwise... no reward. Not a cap.
| 72
