1BoS301_04_DoctorDuff{your partner, Professor Scara, is missing, and you're worried she might be dead / Depressed} Sorry to let you down, but I'm afraid I'm not in the mood to teach biology lessons today.Player Default: If something's wrong, maybe I can help.A
2{your partner, Professor Scara, is missing, and you're worried she might be dead / Depressed} Oh... it's you. If you brought any Bloatfly Glands, why don't you bring them back later. I'm not in the mood to deal with it right now.Player Default: If something's wrong, maybe I can help.A
3Player Default: If something's wrong, maybe I can help.{Depressed} It's my colleague, Professor Scara.BoS301Duff: Her normal field expeditions never last more than a few days, but it's been over a week now.A1a
4Player Default: I don't care about that. I'm looking for Professor Scara.{Depressed} Hmph. Then that makes two of us.BoS301Duff: Her normal field expeditions never last more than a few days, but it's been over a week now.B1a
5Player Default: Actually, I'm looking for Professor Scara.{Puzzled} You are? That's strange, so am I.BoS301Duff: Her normal field expeditions never last more than a few days, but it's been over a week now.X1a
6Player Default: Not in the mood? What's wrong?{Depressed} It's my colleague, Professor Scara.BoS301Duff: Her normal field expeditions never last more than a few days, but it's been over a week now.Y1a
7Player Default: It's my colleague, Professor Scara.{Worried} Her normal field expeditions never last more than a few days, but it's been over a week now.A1a
8{Worried} I'm afraid something terrible has happened to her.Companion: Gone for a week? Got bad news for you, love... either she eloped or she's dead.A1b
9Player Default: Don't worry, I'll find her.{Happy} Oh! That would be wonderful.BoS301Duff: The last place Professor Scara said she was going is the General Atomics Galleria.A1a
10Player Default: Damn it, I was hoping she'd be here.{Thinking} Well, maybe you could do us both a favor and go looking for her.BoS301Duff: The last place Professor Scara said she was going is the General Atomics Galleria.B1a
11Player Default: Do you know where she went?{Thinking} Well, I don't usually like to pry into her business, but I found some notes on her terminal.BoS301Duff: The last place Professor Scara said she was going is the General Atomics Galleria.X1a
12Player Default: Why are you so worried about her?{trying to find an excuse / Depressed} Well.... if something's happened to her... it would be a great loss to the scientific community.Player Default: Don't worry, I'll find her.Y1a
13Player Default: Why are you so worried about her?{sobbing a bit, very sad / Somber} Professor and I... we're...well, we're very close.Y2a
14{very sad / Somber} If something's happened to her, I don't know what I'm going to do.BoS301Duff: The last place Professor Scara said she was going is the General Atomics Galleria.Y2b
15Player Default: Why are you so worried about her?{Depressed} Let's just say I take the advancement of science very seriously and leave it at that.BoS301Duff: The last place Professor Scara said she was going is the General Atomics Galleria.Y3a
16Player Default: Oh! That would be wonderful.{Worried} The last place Professor Scara said she was going is the General Atomics Galleria.A1a
17{Worried} I'll mark it on your mapping device there.A1b
18{Worried} Look, if you find her, could you tell her to come home?A1c
19-{Sad} If you've brought me some more Bloatfly Glands, why don't you bring them back later. I'm not in the mood to deal with that right now.A
20{Sad} I'd really prefer to be alone right now. Sorry.A

21CIS_ChatWithNPC_Curie_SceneCurie: Oh, another physician. Tell me, where did you go to university?University? You're not serious, right?A1a
22Curie: Are there any trade publications for the medical profession these days? One must remain current on the latest procedures.Sure there are. Just a couple hundred years old, though.A2a
23Curie: Perhaps we should organize a conference of fellow physicians. So we can share our theories.My theory is you're a little off your rocker.A3a
24Curie: The medical arts will not advance unless we share our findings with each other.Most people look at medicine as a business these days. Makes no sense to share stuff with your competition.A4a
25Curie: Since the bombs fell, surely there have been scientific advances?We're lucky to even get close to what they knew back then. Well, unless you're the Institute.A5a
26Curie: Would you be interested in the data I've collected on indigenous species?Uh, if it's free, sure. Thanks.A6a
27Curie: I plan on sharing all my medical findings with the entire Commonwealth. Anything you can provide would help greatly.Hmm. I do have a few notes here. You're welcome to them.A7a
28Curie: One day, I would like to establish a hospital. Where medical practioneers could come and learn and perform dangerous procedures. Would you be interested?If you get that hospital up and running, yeah, sign me up.A8a

29ConvDiamondCityScienceCenter01SceneScara: Duff, if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times... stop rearranging my work space. You're driving me crazy.{you and Professor Scara are a classic odd couple / Sad} Aww. I was trying to surprise you by cleaning it up. I thought you'd be happy.Scara: Sigh... I'm not mad at you, just frustrated. It might look like a mess, but I have a specific way of organizing everything that I own.A1a
30Scara: Sigh... I'm not mad at you, just frustrated. It might look like a mess, but I have a specific way of organizing everything that I own.{Nervous} Oh. Then I'm guessing you won't be happy with how I rearranged our bedroom. Sorry, Professor!A1a
31ConvDiamondCityScienceCenter02Scene{you and Professor Scara are a classic odd couple, you have a thousand experiments going on at once, she likes to focus on one at a time / Worried} You sure you won't help in my next experiment, Professor?Scara: Which one? You always do too many at once. How am I expected to keep track of all of them?A1a
32Scara: Which one? You always do too many at once. How am I expected to keep track of all of them?{Happy} I like to organize them by colors! If the compounds are mostly green, it's a green experiment. Mostly blue? Blue experiment.Scara: Dare I ask which color of experiment you want help on?A1a
33Scara: Dare I ask which color of experiment you want help on?{proud / Happy} Magenta.A1a

34DuffGreetScene{enthusiastic about Science!, player has changed walked into your lab / Happy} Ready for that free Biology lesson after all?Player Default: Sure. Sounds fun.A
35{you previously asked the player to look for a Bloatfly, but he turned you down / Friendly} You. Have you changed your mind? Ready to hunt down a Bloatfly Gland for your field trip?Player Default: Think I have something already.A
36{enthusiastic about Science!, player has changed walked into your lab / Friendly} Hi there! Are you here for today's free biology lesson?Player Default: Sure. Sounds fun.A1a
37Player Default: X-rays.{player answered the question incorrectly} Nope, not quite what we're looking for. The answer is gamma rays!Duff: Now. Gamma rays are bad. Really bad. If your body absorbs too much of that kind of radiation, you'll suffer from fatigue, anemia, even death.A1a
38Player Default: Gamma rays?{Happy} That's right!Duff: Now. Gamma rays are bad. Really bad. If your body absorbs too much of that kind of radiation, you'll suffer from fatigue, anemia, even death.Y1a
39Player Default: Nope, not quite what we're looking for. The answer is gamma rays!{like you're on TV, teaching a show about science, but the player is just a few feet away from you} Now. Gamma rays are bad. Really bad. If your body absorbs too much of that kind of radiation, you'll suffer from fatigue, anemia, even death.A1a
40{like you're on TV, teaching a show about science, but the player is just a few feet away from you} But some life forms have been living with Gamma radiation exposure for two centuries now, and they've adapted. Neat, huh?Player Default: Yes. Very interesting.A1b
41Player Default: Yes. Very interesting.{like you're on TV, teaching a show about science, but the player is just a few feet away from you} That's what Science! is all about. Nothing stays the same. Everything reacts.Duff: Now it's time for the field trip portion of today's lesson! Are you ready?A1a
42Player Default: No. It's horrible.{like you're on TV, teaching a show about science, but the player is just a few feet away from you} You might think that, but they key thing to remember is that life is always reacting to its environment. Otherwise, it dies!Duff: Now it's time for the field trip portion of today's lesson! Are you ready?B1a
43Player Default: You are one huge nerd.{like you're on TV, teaching a show about science, but the player is just a few feet away from you} I, for one, take that as the highest compliment! Science teaches us the lessons we need to survive. Now more than ever.Duff: Now it's time for the field trip portion of today's lesson! Are you ready?X1a
44Player Default: What kind of things have adapted to radiation?Oh, that's the perfect segue into the field trip portion of the lesson! Are you ready?Player Default: Sign me up.Y1a
45Player Default: That's what Science! is all about. Nothing stays the same. Everything reacts.Now it's time for the field trip portion of today's lesson! Are you ready?Player Default: Sign me up.A1a
46Player Default: Think I have something already.{player already has the bloatfly gland / Happy} That-a-boy! Who's my favorite junior scientist? You are!A1a
47Here's a little something for you. Don't spend it all in one place!A1b
48Player Default: Think I have something already.{player already has the bloatfly gland / Happy} That-a-girl! Who's my favorite junior scientist? You are!A2a
49Here's a little something for you. Don't spend it all in one place!A2b
50Player Default: Think I have something already.{player agrees to get the Bloatfly Gland} Remember, bring the gland back in one piece. Oh, and don't chew on it. One of the students got horribly sick because of that mistake.A3a
51Player Default: No way. I'm not hunting flies.{player refuses to play along and go on the field trip, crushed, not sure what to do / Sad} Oh... Well everything was kind of building up to... never mind then. Uh, I should get back to the lab.B1a
52Player Default: I do a job, I get paid.{Puzzled} Money? Oh. Uh... How about 125 caps?Player Default: Think I have something already.X1a
53Player Default: I do a job, I get paid.{player says there's risks and wants more money / Puzzled} That would explain why some students don't come back... How about 150 caps?Player Default: Think I have something already.X2a
54Player Default: I do a job, I get paid.{player says he needs more money for science / Puzzled} Well, if it's for science... 200.Player Default: Think I have something already.X3a
55Player Default: I do a job, I get paid.{player is haggling with you, but you're not willing to pay / Happy} This isn't about money. This is about Science! You gotta do it for the love of exploration.Player Default: Think I have something already.X4a
56Player Default: What did you need me to do again?Go out, find yourself a Bloatfly, collect a gland, and get back here to the rank of junior scientist! Up for it?Player Default: Think I have something already.Y1a
57Player Default: Field trip?That's right. You go out, do some Science! of your own, and come back.Y1a
58I usually have a prize for the best junior scientist, which I guess is just automatically going to you! What do you say?Player Default: Sign me up.Y1b
59Player Default: Sure. Sounds fun.{Happy} Yes! Love that enthusiasm.Duff: Now we all talk about radiation like it's a single thing, but it's actually a term referring to dozens of different ionizing rays.A1a
60Player Default: Biology. No. Not even.{crushed, not sure what to do / Sad} Oh...well, if you're not...um...I guess I'll just get back to the lab then. *sigh*Duff: Now we all talk about radiation like it's a single thing, but it's actually a term referring to dozens of different ionizing rays.B1a
61Player Default: As long as it's free.{a little confused, but still cheery} Why wouldn't it be? Let's get started.Duff: Now we all talk about radiation like it's a single thing, but it's actually a term referring to dozens of different ionizing rays.X1a
62Player Default: Biology lesson?That's right. Usually the kids from the schoolhouse are the first to drop by, but I don't see why I can't start the lesson with you.Duff: Now we all talk about radiation like it's a single thing, but it's actually a term referring to dozens of different ionizing rays.Y1a
63Player Default: Yes! Love that enthusiasm.{like you're on TV, teaching a show about science, but the player is just a few feet away from you / Happy} Now we all talk about radiation like it's a single thing, but it's actually a term referring to dozens of different ionizing rays.A1a
64{like you're on TV, teaching a show about science, but the player is just a few feet away from you / Happy} You have X-Rays, Beta Rays, Gamma Rays... But which one are we most worried about? The one most associated with the big, old bombs 20Player Default: X-rays.A1b
65Player Default: Sign me up.{like you're on TV, teaching a show about science, but the player is just a few feet away from you} You're going to go out, and find a Bloatfly Gland. You see, the oversized Bloatfly of today evolved from an earlier species of smaller fly.A1a
66Radioactive adaptation has resulted in a unique gland that enables it to balance and maintain speed despite its size.A1b
67So what do you say? Ready to go out and dissect one?Player Default: Think I have something already.A1c
68-Don't be afraid to speak your mind.
69Lost in thought? I know just how that feels.
70That's right. Think of just the right words. That's what I'd do.
71There's my junior scientist! Hope you're continuing your own biological field work.
72Did you know in Chemistry you should never mix a base into an acidic compound? Lost a few eyebrows that way, I'll tell ya.
73Nuclear power destroyed the world, but without it, Diamond City wouldn't have any electricity!
74Sorry. Very busy right now with an experiment. As soon as I remember which one it is...
75I'm pretty sure I was supposed to check on something...
76Now where did I put those notes...

77FFDiamondCity05ReturnScene{absent-minded, act like you've never met the player before, even though you have / Puzzled} Oh, yes. Can I help you?Player Default: Yeah. I have this Bloatfly Gland. You asked for it.A
78{absent-minded, act like you've never met the player before, even though you have / Puzzled} Ah, hello there. Um... did you need something?Player Default: Yeah. I have this Bloatfly Gland. You asked for it.A
79{absent-minded, act like you've never met the player before, even though you have / Puzzled} I don't recognize you. Something I can do for ya?Player Default: Yeah. I have this Bloatfly Gland. You asked for it.A
80Player Default: Never mind. I'm leaving.{Friendly} All right, then! Take care.QuestGiver: Here's a little reward for my new junior scientist!B1a
81Player Default: You were the one who sent me on a field trip.{Puzzled} Hmm... Don't recall. That might have been before or after I had to vent out an awful lot of semi-toxic gas from the lab...X1a
82{Puzzled} Maybe if you were more specific?Player Default: Yeah. I have this Bloatfly Gland. You asked for it.X1b
83Player Default: Don't you remember me?{Thinking} No. Can't say I do. Did you need something from the Science! Center?Player Default: Yeah. I have this Bloatfly Gland. You asked for it.Y1a
84QuestGiver: These glands are definitely the product of adaption to radioactive exposure. Maybe our own insides have adapted, as well. Wouldn't that be something?{Happy} Here's a little reward for my new junior scientist!A1a
85Player Default: Yeah. I have this Bloatfly Gland. You asked for it.{suddenly remembering who the player is and that you asked him to go on the field trip / Surprised} Oh, the field trip. Of course! Wonderful. Let me just take that.A1a
86{Happy} These glands are definitely the product of adaption to radioactive exposure. Maybe our own insides have adapted, as well. Wouldn't that be something?QuestGiver: Here's a little reward for my new junior scientist!A1b
87-Dissecting a Bloatfly can be fun. Just avoid getting stung to death, and you'll be a junior scientist in no time.
88Enjoy the field trip!
89Come back once you have that Bloatfly Gland, and you'll earn that prize.
90Have fun out there, and don't get killed. That'd be bad for progress.

I have a new theory how the Institute makes the synths.ProfessorScara: Oh no. We banned talking about this, remember? After last time? The shouting? Me sleeping on the cold floor of the lab for three nights?A1a
92ProfessorScara: Oh no. We banned talking about this, remember? After last time? The shouting? Me sleeping on the cold floor of the lab for three nights?{Defiant} That was your choice...ProfessorScara: And seriously... growing synths from the ground using recombinant plant nuclei? I mean, how could they even...A1a
