|
Impressive. Normally I'd be worried about your survivability in this irradiated and toxic terrain, but I see you're well prepared so I won't bother.
|
Cheerful and mildly impressed with the player because they are actually wearing protective gear in a dangerous environment.
|
| 2
|
Also, hello. Exploring?
|
Observing the social niceties but really not all that interested in the response. Trying not to be rude.
|
| 3
|
00599813
|
Careful! The crust here is fragile and you really don't want to risk an acidic bath.
|
A warning, but delivered in a dry matter-of-fact tone. Not alarmist at all.
|
| 4
|
Especially without wearing good protective gear. Or, being immune. That works well too.
|
Concerned about the player and their exposure to the environment. Offhandly and somewhat dryly mentioning her ghoul state.
|
| 5
|
I guess you must have a really good reason to risk your health like this?
|
|
| 6
|
00599815
|
Oh, there you are! Are you back to learn more about the exciting career of an edaphologist?
|
|
| 7
|
00599818
|
Good to see you again. I hope you've managed to avoid unnecessary brain damage while wandering?
|
Earnest, doesn't intend to offend and is genuinely pleased to see the player again and hopes to talk about science.
|

|
0059980C
|
Well now that the social niceties have occurred, I should get back to work. Unless you have questions for me?
|
|

|
005993F8
|
0059980F
|
The simple answer is that I specialize in the study of soil with an emphasis on how to encourage plant growth.
|
Cheerful, but a bit disappointed with the question. Soil is important and this person doesn't get that.
|
| 10
|
Most laymen underestimate the crucial role of good soil. If plants don't grow, you don't eat.
|
Lecturing. Still sounding cheerful but emphasizing the word "laymen". Not being insulting but being clear that maybe they're not too bright.
|
| 11
|
Xenophanes put it well "For all things come from earth, and all things end by becoming earth." Here, read this and you might learn something.
|
Emphatic and a bit challenging. Maybe a little insulting at the end.
|
| 12
|
005993F9
|
00599808
|
Well, aren't you a charmer? My mama always said I should thank those that compliment me. So, thank you. But, I know I'm not much to look at now.
|
Preface line with a giggle/snort. She's flattered but knows she's hideous looking now and a little sad about that.
|
| 13
|
Your words are a kindness. I try not to be sensitive to my ... situation but ... well, it's hard on the self esteem. It's better than being dead.
|
A bit subdued but she means what she says, gets a bit sad in the middle, then resolute and determined to make the best of things.
|
| 14
|
Plus, there are some advantages. I can go into really toxic places without fear of radiation. So, that's nice.
|
Bucking up, trying to be cheerful and assertive that it's not all bad.
|
| 15
|
005993FA
|
00599810
|
Oh, sure. Lay them on me, I'll do my best.
|
A little disappointed not to be talking about the soil, but willing.
|
| 16
|
005993FB
|
0059980A
|
I couldn't agree more. The structure and complexity is a source of never-ending wonder for those with the capacity to see it.
|
|
| 17
|
"Wake and listen! Verily, the earth shall yet be a source of recovery. Remain faithful to the earth, with the power of your virtue." Nietzsche saw it.
|
Reverant. This quote is really meaningful to her. It inspires her work.
|
| 18
|
And you see it too, I can tell.
|
Satisfied and grateful to have found someone that understands her passion.
|
| 19
|
005993FE
|
00599806
|
Both! But right now, my focus has to be edaphology. We need to be able to reclaim these lands and grow crops even in the most toxic of environments.
|
Surprised and very happy that the player knows these terms. Warming up to an enthusiastic conversation about dirt.
|
| 20
|
005993FF
|
0059980D
|
Ciao! I'll get back to it.
|
|
| 21
|
00599400
|
0059980E
|
Yes! Indeed he's been credited as such. His work on geographical variation and his soil classification system brought much needed order to the field.
|
|
| 22
|
00599401
|
00599807
|
You noticed! Just what a lady likes to hear. "Hi, I can't help but notice you're a monster". Fair enough.
|
|
| 23
|
I was exposed to rather more radiation than a person should be without being directly impacted by sharp or blunt objects.
|
|
| 24
|
So, I survived, but was fundamentally transformed. Happily, I kept my wits about me, unlike the poor, ravenous souls that lurk nearby.
|
Trying to be cheerful initially but very sad near the end of the line.
|
| 25
|
00599403
|
00599811
|
That's certainly true. I've never been here before!
|
Making a bit of a joke and laughing a little awkwardly.
|
| 26
|
I'm Dr. Mangano. 'Bethy' though, by preference.
|
|
| 27
|
00599405
|
00599809
|
Of course I care. Everyone should care. It's in our best interests as a species to preserve a viable gene pool.
|
Passionate, she really means it. This is IMPORTANT!
|
| 28
|
You probably know that without sufficient diversity, the entire population dies out. I'd prefer that we avoid that.
|
Still very passionate but a bit professorial here too. Appealing to common sense.
|
| 29
|
You're probably a good person too. So there's that.
|
Realizing she's strayed a bit far from a basic greeting and is maybe being too clinical. Doesn't want to offend and makes a half-hearted gesture.
|
| 30
|
0059940C
|
0059980B
|
Of course not. What was I thinking?
|
Upset and a bit defiant in the face of such disinterest.
|
| 31
|
0059940F
|
00599805
|
That's fair. Someone has to do the dirty work and keep the monsters at bay.
|
|
| 32
|
Speaking of which, there are lots of scary things around here. Plenty of heroic opportunities to prevent your favorite scientist from being murdered.
|
|
| 33
|
0059A012
|
0059A015
|
Yes. Even in my darkest moments, when the despair that the War has wrought creeps into my mind and tries to overwhelm me, I remember those words.
|
Revealing something deeply personal and sad.
|
| 34
|
I can make a difference. My life's path has brought me to this one moment in time where my knowledge and expertise can save real people.
|
Thoughtful and inspired. Maybe even a bit thankful.
|
| 35
|
I mean, real people. Not the abstracted people in a data cohort. Real, struggling people.
|
emphatic and getting emotional, then embarrassed about that.
|
| 36
|
I do go on, don't I? Here, have this specimen. It looks like it could contain some rare minerals that might be helpful.
|
Clears throat maybe ... before the line. Embarrassed, wants to get away from the emotions. All business at the end.
|
| 37
|
0059A013
|
0059A014
|
If I didn't know better, I'd think you were kissing up to the professor. My grad students used to try that.
|
Nostalgic moment, a fond memory of happier days.
|
| 38
|
Suddenly my speciality is critical to the continuation of the species. I hate to be thankful for the apocolypse but it's nice to be relevant.
|
A bit wry and a bit guilty sounding.
|
| 39
|
Anyway, here's a specimen that might interest you. If you break it apart I think you'll find some useful minerals inside.
|

|
Natural degradation is to be expected. Realistically, you are losing brain cells constantly because time is not your friend.
|
Clinical. Just telling it like it is.
|
| 41
|
I'm glad you're well. I enjoy speaking with other educated people. There are far too many wanderers that are all about bashing things.
|
She's cheerful and complimentary, but in a very matter of fact manner
|
| 42
|
0059B33A
|
0059B33B
|
No, not much. I know it's called Clarksburg because I saw signs. Other than that, I've stayed clear of it. It's crawling with angry mutated humans.
|
Relatively disinterested in this topic, but serious about the warning about the mutants.
|
| 43
|
There's a shooting range nearby with a very enthusiastic attendant. And I've heard some bugle calls from further that direction as well.
|
Vaguely amused when speaking about the range, then a bit puzzled by the bugle calls.
|
| 44
|
It may be recorded though, it seems pretty regular. Still it might be a sign of civilization. I haven't checked into it.
|
Losing interest again.
|
| 45
|
0059B4C8
|
0059B4C9
|
Greetings and salutations!
|
Not really excited about visitors but trying to be polite and vaguely jovial.
|
| 46
|
0059B4CA
|
Welcome friend, to my lonely patch of irradiated soil.
|
Forced cheerfulness. Not terribly interested in meeting other people. She's busy.
|
| 47
|
0059B4CB
|
HELLO THERE! I hope you can hear me through that helmet.
|
Speaking loudly initially to a player in a power armor helmet. The second part is a bit under her breath and almost to herself.
|
| 48
|
0059B4CE
|
Nice to see you again.
|
Polite for the sake of being polite.
|
| 49
|
0059B4CF
|
You're back for more sparkling conversation, I guess.
|
Self deprecating tone.
|
| 50
|
0059B4D0
|
Welcome back. I'm guessing you have more questions.
|
|
| 51
|
0059B4D1
|
Is that a dead animal on your head? Uh, I mean, hello again.
|
Surprised and a little intrigued. Then remembering her manners.
|
| 52
|
0059B4D2
|
Well, that's novel. What are you supposed to be? Er ... hello!
|
Amused because the player is wearing a costume item. Then remembering she's being polite.
|
