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}
|

|
| 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
