| GREETING
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| Hey man, when in Rome.
| 1
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| I look so good in this shit, I want you to call me Fucking Spectacular from now on.
| 2
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| Well look who it is! Fantastic's little helper, all grown up. Following in his master's footsteps.
| 3
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| Guess who got promoted to goddamn dam god? The cream always rises to the top, and Fantastic always rises to the top of the cream.
| 4
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| What the fuck, man? Are you loco? {Talking to a psychotic person who murdered a bunch of people just now.}
| 5
|
| Neutral 50
| You just killed my paycheck.
| 6
|
| GREETING
| Fear 30
| Who the hell are you? They bring you in to replace me? They're replacing me, aren't they?
| 7
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| Yo.
| 8
|
| VMS03FantasticAttack
| [Attack] You won't need to worry about bills where you're going.
| Anger 50
| Newsflash. Fantastic is irreplaceable.
| 9
|
| VMS03FantasticDivertedPower
| I sent power to McCarran and the Strip.
| Neutral 50
| Whoa, really? Ho, shit! I knew I could do it. Those NCR pricks can all get on their knees and worship at the altar of fucking Fantastic!
| 10
|
| Neutral 50
| But don't worry, I'll tell them what you did for me, man. Not all of it, though. They'd think I was an idiot. But some of it.
| 11
|
| Neutral 50
| Keep at it, man. One day you could end up where I am. You never know.
| 12
|
| VMS03FantasticHereForYourJob
| That's right. I'm here for your job.
| Neutral 50
| Ah, shit. Shit, man. I need this. Gotta pay the bills. And I'm addicted to a lot of different kinds of chems. I mean a lot.
| 13
|
| That's right. I'm here for your job.
| Neutral 50
| Ah, shit, man. You're direct, you're no-nonsense. How am I supposed to compete with that? I gotta pay these chem bills.
| 14
|
| VMS03FantasticHowGetJob
| How did you get this job?
| Happy 50
| It was easy, man. They were going door to door asking if anyone knew any scientists. I said look no further.
| 15
|
| Neutral 50
| They asked me if I knew anything about power plants. I said as much as anyone I'd ever met.
| 16
|
| Neutral 50
| They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I said I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard.
| 17
|
| VMS03FantasticIAmNow
| I am now.
| Neutral 50
| Well hey, if you find yourself up at the mainframe, do yourself a favor and make sure you send the power to the right place.
| 18
|
| Neutral 50
| It needs to go to the Strip and McCarran.
| 19
|
| VMS03FantasticJob
| What job do you have here?
| Happy 50
| What else? I'm in charge. This whole operation depends on me. No Fantastic, no power. Got the whole NCR suckling my teats, and it feels so good.
| 20
|
| VMS03FantasticNoIdeaWhatYoureDoing
| So you have no idea what you're doing.
| Neutral 50
| No, man. I know exactly what I'm doing. I just don't know what effect it's going to have.
| 21
|
| Neutral 50
| Over there controls power in this building. That station has readouts on the computer network.
| 22
|
| Neutral 50
| That big knob there makes a crazy noise. Sparks come out of that slot if you put stuff in it. And I'm learning more every day.
| 23
|
| VMS03FantasticNotGoingToRetarget
| No.
| Neutral 50
| Ah well. Guess I'll have to wait for the next curious sucker.
| 24
|
| VMS03FantasticPayoff
| You pay me a stack of caps right now and I'll forget you have my job.
| Neutral 50
| [SUCCEEDED] Aw, man. How am I supposed to buy chems now? Fine. Here.
| 25
|
| You pay me a stack of caps right now and I'll forget you have my job.
| Neutral 50
| [FAILED] Ha! You had me going for a second there. Then I remembered that there's only one Fantastic. I'm king of this dump.
| 26
|
| VMS03FantasticRetarget
| How would someone retarget the mirrors?
| Neutral 50
| There's these two terminals outside. They control the mirrors. I tried fooling with them but didn't get very far.
| 27
|
| Neutral 50
| You'd have to get them to talk to the mainframe up in the tower, then do the rest from up there. I'm guessing. But it sounds good, right?
| 28
|
| Surprise 35
| Hey, you're not thinking of going up there, are you?
| 29
|
VMS03FantasticSettleDown
Settle down. I'm not here to replace anyone.
| Actually I'm not here to replace you.
| Neutral 50
| Damn right, you're not. Goddamn right. Why would they? You can't top this guy. Just a little more time. You can't keep Fantastic down for long.
| 30
|
| Settle down. I'm not here to replace anyone.
| Neutral 50
| Damn right, you're not. Goddamn right. Why would they? You can't top this guy. Just a little more time. You can't keep Fantastic down for long.
| 31
|
| VMS03FantasticStripMcCarran
| Why should the power go to the Strip and McCarran?
| Neutral 50
| Because I get paid, that's why. Per kilowatt-hour, whatever the hell that is. That's where the NCR wants the power, so that's where I want it.
| 32
|
| Neutral 50
| But you know, you do that, maybe I put in a good word for you with them. Fantastic's little helper. There's a reputation you can hang your hat on.
| 33
|
| VMS03FantasticTopic000
| Fantastic? What are you doing here?
| Neutral 50
| What's it look like, man? I'm fucking king of the NCR. Caesar's Legion has Caesar, the NCR's got Fantastic. It's Fantastic's NCR now.
| 34
|
| Neutral 50
| This whole war's about power, man. Caesar wants it. NCR wants it. Fantastic's got it.
| 35
|
| Neutral 50
| After I fixed HELIOS One and basically saved the NCR from the dumbshits who run it, I got myself a little promotion. Now I run the whole shebang.
| 36
|
| VMS03FantasticTopic001
| Get this straight. You're not my master.
| Neutral 50
| Whoa, hey. All right, man. It's cool. Who said anything about being your master?
| 37
|
| Neutral 50
| I'm just the guy who tells you to do the stuff you do before you do it.
| 38
|
| VMS03FantasticTopic002
| What are your responsibilities now?
| Neutral 50
| Man, what aren't my responsibilities? Dam overflow, dam underflow. Dam leakage. Sometimes the dam gets too big and I have to shrink it down. {Emph. "aren't"}
| 39
|
| Neutral 50
| People come to me to resolve their disputes with my wisdom.
| 40
|
| Neutral 50
| Like, hey Fantastic, who gets to keep this doodad we found? Or, yo, Fantastic, when will you accept that you're the father of my child? It's crazy.
| 41
|
| VMS03FantasticTopic003
| They put you in charge of Hoover Dam?
| Neutral 50
| They sure as shit did. I mean there's still formalities, like I have to run everything by Lawson before I do it.
| 42
|
| Neutral 50
| But do I ever do that? Is his name Fantastic?
| 43
|
| VMS03FantasticTopic004
| So you have to do whatever Lawson tells you.
| Neutral 50
| No, man. That's just what I'm supposed to do.
| 44
|
| Neutral 50
| But when he tells me to push the middle button to divert the intake, and the right button feels nicer when I touch it, I know where my loyalty is.
| 45
|
| Neutral 50
| Man, I just don't know how an idiot like that gets put in charge of anything.
| 46
|
| VMS03FantasticTopic006
| Is Ignacio dead over there? Did you kill him?
| Neutral 50
| Man, I don't even know. It's crazy.
| 47
|
| VMS03FantasticTopic007
| You're with the Legion?
| Neutral 50
| Shh. You feel that? That's the winds of change, baby, and Fantastic's riding them with his magic angel wings.
| 48
|
| Neutral 50
| They saw the shit I did for the NCR, how I carried them on my back, brought fire to the heathens. I wasn't gonna help them but they begged.
| 49
|
| Neutral 50
| Well, somebody begged. Couldn't say who for sure. It's all a blur, you know? Chems, man. What a trip.
| 50
|
| VMS03FantasticTopic008
| What will you do now?
| Neutral 50
| I'm working on some top secret shit I can't even tell you about, it's so mind-blowing.
| 51
|
| Neutral 50
| But here's a little taste. You know how you can only collect sunlight during the day? What if you could make it daytime all the time?
| 52
|
| Neutral 50
| Crazy, right? Or is it? I'm gonna find somebody smart and ask him that question, see what he says. It'll be fucking intense.
| 53
|
| VMS03FantasticTryingToAccomplish
| What are you trying to accomplish?
| Neutral 50
| Well, see, we're getting power, because the guy running this place is Fantastic.
| 54
|
| Neutral 50
| But the mirrors outside aren't aimed right, so we're running at one percent efficiency. And I guess that just isn't good enough for some assholes.
| 55
|
| Neutral 50
| Trouble is, most of the controls for this place aren't here - they're in the tower.
| 56
|
| Neutral 50
| And that place has some crazy Pre-War security system that the dumbshit NCR set off when they took over. Killed two guys. Now they won't go near it.
| 57
|
| Disgust 20
| They want me to make an omelet, but I can't break any of their eggs, know what I'm saying?
| 58
|
| VMS03FantasticWhatExactlyDoYouDo
| What exactly do you do?
| Neutral 50
| Fuck, man. Everything. I push buttons. I turn dials. I read numbers. Sometimes I make up little stories in my head about what the numbers mean.
| 59
|
| Neutral 50
| Like one time I imagined they were a code to get into a vault full of naked women. Man, how cool would that be?
| 60
|
| VMS03FantasticWorried
| Why are you worried about being replaced?
| Surprise 30
| Worried? Do I look worried to you? I've got this under control, baby. No one else can do what I do here. {In denial.}
