0054EB5D
|
Hmm, yeah. This place should do just fine. Thanks for setting up the console. I can work with this!
|
She wanders into the space and takes it all in. Assessing it, then decides it looks good.
|
| 2
|
005620FC
|
I'm glad the scanner keeps us focused. Sometimes it's easy to get lost in this world, you know? Anyway... check this out.
|
|
| 3
|
005620FE
|
I think you're going to be interested in this. Got a second?
|
|
| 4
|
00562100
|
Nice work there, Muscles. I bet you charged in there like a bear and shredded everything, huh?
|
Very impressed
|
| 5
|
00564493
|
The sooner you get that scanner, the sooner I can find my crew.
|
Not trying to rush the player, but hoping they will hurry.
|
| 6
|
0056BF5C
|
Oh, will you just look at this fancy thing. Not even a dent on it!
|
Examining the item.
|
| 7
|
Could use some soldering to fit in this old console, but... nothing I can't handle.
|
Considering it. Soldering = like using a tool to wire things on a circuitboard.
|
| 8
|
0056D40D
|
Good, you found it. The scanner didn't have a lot of details on that place, but I figured you could handle yourself.
|
|
| 9
|
0056D40E
|
Nice work. I think I've got an interesting ping on something... but I need to triangulate it to confirm. Should have something for you tomorrow.
|
|
| 10
|
0056D40F
|
You found it! This will come in handy. Thank you, friend.
|
|
| 11
|
0056D410
|
I always know I can count on you. Even when I barely have a solid lead on something, you seem to figure it out.
|
|
| 12
|
0056D411
|
You know, just when I think I need to worry about sending you off to wherever... you return, safe and sound.
|
|
| 13
|
0056D76B
|
Hey friend. If you have time, something turned up on the scanner that you might want to check out.
|
|
| 14
|
0056DD2D
|
This handbook doesn't even have emergency contact information in it. They never expected to use this, clearly.
|
Annoyed. She thought they were more prepared than this. She's disappointed.
|
| 15
|
Well... we can do this by ourselves. Right? Time to test this newly upgraded scanner out!
|
She figures, eh, they didn't prepare but that won't stop her. She's a tech wiz with these things!
|
| 16
|
0056DD2F
|
There's something potentially interesting coming up on the scanner...
|
|
| 17
|
0056DD30
|
Hey! You're back! So... something popped up on the scanner. Got time to look into it?
|
|
| 18
|
0056F6C2
|
Ever read that one issue of the Unstoppables where the Mistress of Mystery was sent out to stop a bank robbery but the address kept changing?
|
If the player doesn't do the quest for a while, the location might change. So she has to insert some uncertainty.
|
| 19
|
I thought that was so hilarious... but. If you get there and this thing is gone, come back and I'll try to reconfigure the scanner, okay?
|
She genuinely thought that was hilarious, but she doesn't want the player to have to deal with that sort of thing.
|
| 20
|
0056F6C3
|
Those Emergency Protocols that you found indicate that anyone not in the main escape pod likely wouldn't survive a crash landing scenario...
|
Quiet, somber. She is going to ask you to look for someone that she knows is already dead. She has to know for sure.
|
| 21
|
I got the feeling that Emerson felt the same way about it.
|
Somber, this seems grim.
|
| 22
|
00572672
|
This area is strange, you know? I keep getting odd readings. There's a signal that came right up to this place and then turned around and left.
|
She isn't sure why, but it seemed purposeful.
|
| 23
|
Maybe I'm reading too much into these scanner readings. Hard to concentrate with these headaches...
|
She's pondering what it could be. In pain from the headaches. Sighs.
|
| 24
|
00572673
|
I... I need to focus on something else for a bit. You know? I need to do something productive though...
|
She found out her crew is likely dead.
|
| 25
|
00572674
|
I listened to this tape a couple of times, and it's all just... whalesong...
|
She had some time to listen to this tape. The player may have heard something else, but the whalesong is all she hears.
|
| 26
|
00572675
|
There was something odd about that particular Commander Gutsy's signal, so I cross-checked it with the flight recorder data.
|
Nerding out, a bit excited
|
| 27
|
00572676
|
I took a moment to review the Deep Sleeper Pod patent application that you found...
|
She's a bit perturbed. She'll explain why in the next lines, but Emerson is listed, and now she feels like she can't trust him.
|
| 28
|
00572677
|
We just have to move forward here. That's what the Mistress of Mystery would do when she was betrayed.
|
Inspired by her hero, she continues on.
|
| 29
|
00572679
|
Emerson may have his own issues to sort through, but... I still need to see this through.
|
She is determined. She wants to make sure the player is with her.
|
| 30
|
0057267A
|
So we know for sure that Arktos was involved with making this serum. This is progress!
|
She's pretty determined to do this.
|
| 31
|
0057267D
|
We just need a way to access the restricted section of Sugar Grove. That's all.
|
They are so close now.
|
| 32
|
00572C0F
|
I managed to scrape that signal from the Flight Recorder... should be enough to track down. Did you want to talk about something else though?
|
She's eager to find out about the signal. Doesn't know the player well. Will entertain a few questions because she must.
|
| 33
|
00572C11
|
It feels to me like Emerson wants me to just move on. But how can I? Everything is so fresh in my mind... you know?
|
Annoyed, disappointed with Emerson's last conversation with her. He told her to move on, forget it, stay safe, don't get into trouble.
|
| 34
|
Er, sorry... what were you saying?
|
Realizing the player might have something else to say. Follows up from a previous line.
|
| 35
|
00572C42
|
Oh hey, I was just thinking about you. You always show up at just the right moment.
|
Very impressed
|
| 36
|
00572C43
|
My mysterious stranger has arrived. And I have a task for you.
|
Very impressed
|
| 37
|
00572C44
|
I may have been able to survive in this world without you, but honestly, you make everything so much more exciting. Now, I have something for you.
|
She's offering a mission.
|
| 38
|
00572C45
|
Looking to do something to keep on your toes, hmm? I've got just the thing, my graceful friend.
|
oh the player is so sexay
|
| 39
|
00572C46
|
I could watch you move all day long, mhm. But, well, there is something else for you to attend to, unfortunately for me...
|
oh the player is so sexay
|
| 40
|
00572C47
|
There is absolutely no way I can think of you and *not* use the word statuesque. Mhmm. I've got just the thing for somebody with such composure...
|
oh the player is so sexay
|
| 41
|
00572C48
|
Mm, my favorite brainiac. Here to solve another case, right?
|
oh the player is so sexay
|
| 42
|
00572C49
|
Well hello there, my cunning companion. I've got something for you to figure out.
|
oh the player is so sexay
|
| 43
|
00572C4A
|
Oh, I love it when you have that look on your face. Cogs churning, things falling into place. Speaks directly to my nerdy heart.
|
oh the player is so sexay
|
| 44
|
00572C4B
|
The way you carry yourself is truly impressive, friend. You seem ready for anything! How about... let's see. Oh, right!
|
|
| 45
|
00572C4C
|
Look at that sly look on your face. Yes, your charms do, in fact, work here. And yes, I do have something you might like.
|
|
| 46
|
00572C4D
|
I can just feel your presence when you approach. Don't worry, I have just the thing for you.
|
|
| 47
|
00572C4E
|
Do you ever sleep? You're a machine! Don't worry, I've got something for you. It won't slow you down, I promise.
|
Very impressed
|
| 48
|
00572C4F
|
You're an animal, you know. Churning through these signals like a hot knife through butter. Well, who am I to stop you now?
|
Very impressed
|
| 49
|
00572C50
|
Your stamina is intoxicating. You just eat through these missions like candy. Well, I've got something sweet for you, indeed.
|
Very impressed
|
| 50
|
00572C51
|
You've got that look in your eyes once more. You need a mission. Got it.
|
Very impressed
|
| 51
|
00572C52
|
There's my eagle eyed love, can you tell how much my pulse quickens when you approach?
|
Very impressed
|
| 52
|
00572C53
|
You approach with such a determined look in your eyes, so... mm, determined. Yes, I've got something for you, indeed.
|
Repeated on purpose for emphasis
|
| 53
|
00572C54
|
Wait, let me guess. You need something to let out some tension, some aggression. Right? I've got just the thing.
|
|
| 54
|
00572C55
|
Emergency exercise needed, hmm? I can tell you're ready for a vigorous work-out. Lucky for you, I've got... just the thing.
|
She's going to offer a mission to the player, who she is romantic with. Tease.
|
| 55
|
00572C56
|
You seem tense. Need something to tighten those muscles for a bit? I've got just the thing.
|
She's going to offer a mission to the player, who she is romantic with
|
| 56
|
00572C5A
|
Strange. Doesn't seem to be anything on this holotape at all... but it is definitely labeled as part of the Deep Sleep project. Huh.
|
She is very suspicious. It's like being told a CVS receipt is Top Secret.
|
| 57
|
00572C5B
|
We did a lot of exercise training for spaceflight. Never built muscle like yours, though, but I sure am glad to observe the results...
|
Very impressed
|
| 58
|
00572C5C
|
I love how you look at me when you return from a successful mission.
|
Very impressed
|
| 59
|
00572C5D
|
I can tell by that burning look in your eyes that things went well.
|
Very impressed
|
| 60
|
00572C5E
|
Your scent gives me a natural high, you know. Especially after a strong work-out.
|
oh the player is so sexay
|
| 61
|
00572C5F
|
You always seem healthier and flushed after these work-outs. It's just so impressive.
|
oh the player is so sexay
|
| 62
|
00572C60
|
Mm, look at that swagger. Must have been a successful run, hmm?
|
oh the player is so sexay
|
| 63
|
00572C61
|
That utterly dashing smile on your face always brightens my day. Seems things went well.
|
oh the player is so sexay
|
| 64
|
00572C62
|
You know, they say the brain is the biggest erogenous zone. Tell me something smart-sounding about that mission or... anything at all.
|
oh the player is so sexay
|
| 65
|
00572C63
|
There's something about that devilishly brilliant look on your face when you return from a successful mission that gets me every time.
|
oh the player is so sexay
|
| 66
|
00572C64
|
You seem extra limber now. Very impressive. Must have been a good run, hmm?
|
oh the player is so sexay
|
| 67
|
00572C65
|
I'm glad to see you're back, though I do always like watching you walk away, too.
|
Very impressed
|
| 68
|
00572C66
|
I know you think you're the lucky one, but you're wrong -- that is definitely me.
|
oh the player is so sexay
|
| 69
|
00572C67
|
I'm constantly amazed I was found by such a wonderful mysterious stranger like you.
|
Very impressed
|
| 70
|
00572C68
|
You know, it's pretty obvious how you've survived through everything. And it's simply impressive.
|
Said genuinely
|
| 71
|
00572C69
|
I'm glad I can still pick up useful stuff with this scanner for you. It makes me happy to be able to help.
|
|
| 72
|
00573FD0
|
So it's real. The Serum is real. How... how could they do this? Why didn't they just ask? I probably would have agreed. Damn it!
|
Angry, upset at herself, this is all real. "What garbage!" she thinks
|
| 73
|
00573FD2
|
You found something related to the Deep Sleep mission? Okay, let's see...
|
She's looking over the holotape briefly.
|
| 74
|
00573FD3
|
Did you listen to this already?
|
About to kick off a scene where she talks to the player about the holotape that they just found.
|
| 75
|
00573FD4
|
So... so that's it. We have everything now. It's time.
|
It's really happening.
|
| 76
|
00573FD5
|
Glad you could make it back, what with the uh... current weather and all...
|
|
| 77
|
00573FD6
|
I hope that helped get out some aggression, at least.
|
|
| 78
|
00573FD7
|
I bet you picked up some other good stuff while you were there, huh? You always have an eye for that kind of thing.
|
|
| 79
|
00573FD8
|
Dependable, as always.
|
|
| 80
|
00573FD9
|
Nice work. Didn't even get a smudge on yourself. Impressive.
|
|
| 81
|
00573FDA
|
Statistically impressive. Good work.
|
|
| 82
|
00573FDB
|
Your return is graceful as ever, my friend.
|
|
| 83
|
00573FDC
|
You lucky devil, you. Looked like a close call on my scanner, but somehow you always make it out.
|
|
| 84
|
00573FDD
|
It's a shame you can't always use that silver tongue of yours to handle everything.
|
Innuendo, but not overly strong
|
| 85
|
00573FDE
|
Ah, my mysteriously lucky friend, you have evaded one more tricky situation, it seems.
|
|
| 86
|
00573FDF
|
My razor-sharp friend returns from another hunt. Good job.
|
|
| 87
|
00573FE0
|
The only thing better than watching you work is seeing you return victorious and impressively unharmed.
|
|
| 88
|
00573FE1
|
Figures. He wasn't just a manager... he made the offer himself. Damn him. Maybe I can find out more about this serum, though...
|
Grumbling to herself.
|
| 89
|
00573FE2
|
So... that's it then. They're gone.
|
It's finalized. She's all alone. Her crew is dead.
|
| 90
|
Thank you for... for looking into this. And for... being a friend. It means a lot to me.
|
This is when she considers the player to be a friend officially.
|
| 91
|
005740E4
|
Emerson should be around here somewhere. Let's talk to him first.
|
She has to tell Emerson the bad news that the crew is dead. He's somewhere nearby.
|
| 92
|
005740E5
|
Looks like we have a visitor here right now... let's see what they want first?
|
She isn't sure who it is yet. Could be a trader, could be anybody really.
|
| 93
|
005740E6
|
I saw Emerson skulking around. Let's talk to him first.
|
Annoyed, doesn't want to talk to him but knows they must.
|
| 94
|
0058534D
|
That Upgrade Module that you found seems to be functioning well after I installed it. We can now pick up more signals around Appalachia.
|
She's pretty excited about this.
|
| 95
|
I thought for the first one, I'd try to focus on any U.S.S.A. signals... and I found one to check out first.
|
She's going to offer a quest here.
|
| 96
|
005856A6
|
I suspect that the owner of this beacon will come and find us.... I know I would.
|
Wondering who the heck would have left this active for so long. Is it a trap? Is it someone who can help? It could be anybody.
|
| 97
|
But until then, well, I have something here that we should look into. I noticed a strange signal that was heading right for us.
|
She's concerned about this, it just happened a bit ago and she thinks it's really weird.
|
| 98
|
00587559
|
Emerson is here. Let's deal with him first.
|
Cold. Upset. Annoyed.
|
| 99
|
0058755A
|
I think Emerson is here somewhere. Let's see what he wants, first.
|
Wondering.
|
| 100
|
0058755B
|
There's a visitor around here somewhere, let's take care of that first.
|
General statement, someone is visiting the camp. Could be anybody (but not a hostile.)
|
| 101
|
0058949B
|
I'll be right behind you. I don't want to endanger you if I'm being tracked somehow.
|
Genuinely worried
|
| 102
|
0058949C
|
It seems like this robot only popped up on the scanner when the other one was destroyed. Not sure what that means yet.
|
Worried but also determined
|
| 103
|
0058C911
|
I just need a bit of time to make sure this Scanner Upgrade Module that you found will work with this particular console unit.
|
Said if the player did one quest, left for a while, then returned.
|
| 104
|
0058CE9C
|
Those official U.S.S.A. beacons usually have enough power for a year at max. Someone has been tending to it.
|
She's a mix between weirded out and hopeful
|
| 105
|
0058EAEA
|
I ran a few diagnostics on the holotape, and it does seem... odd. There's definitely more on the tape than it would seem.
|
Her paranoia is justified here, she believes.
|
| 106
|
0058EAEB
|
Between the whalesong holotape and the Deep Sleeper Pod patent, I just need to know more... this is eating away at me.
|
Her paranoia is justified here, she believes.
|
| 107
|
0058EAEC
|
I'm currently tracking one of those rogue U.S.S.A. Robots... this one was unusual. I think it actually followed Emerson for a bit... hmm.
|
She's muttering as she's thinking about stuff.
|
| 108
|
Oh, uh. Did you want to chat? I can get back to this later.
|
Sort of realizes that the player is there and wants to chat. She's a little surprised but down for a chat.
|
| 109
|
0058EB0C
|
I would feel a lot safer if we weren't being monitored by rogue U.S.S.A. Robots, personally. We can chat though, of course.
|
She is a little impatient but she understands.
|
| 110
|
0058EB0D
|
I was going to look out at the stars later and just sort of relax and think about the future. I need to remember that there's more to all of this.
|
She's peaceful, thinking of why she became an astronaut.
|
| 111
|
0058EB0E
|
I wish you could have gone to space... It will take a long time for this world to return to space, probably but... maybe we weren't ready.
|
Feeling down, a bit.
|
| 112
|
0058EB0F
|
I don't know what to do with this serum right now. Let's focus on the Robobrain right now. That's straight-forward enough.
|
She has all the info on that.
|
| 113
|
0058F242
|
When this is all over... I think I would very much like to do a full read-through of all the Unstoppables comics, back to back.
|
She's dreaming of something that might never happen. A bit melancholy, but still has a touch of optimism.
|
| 114
|
0058F243
|
It's hard not to be angry, you know? But... I'm glad you're here for me. It helps.
|
A bit melancholy, but still has a touch of optimism and gratitude.
|
| 115
|
00592871
|
It was an Assaultron, huh? Probably one of the old U.S.S.A. Robots. Strange. I would have figured they would all be in in standby mode now.
|
The player is telling her about the Assaultron. This is news to her. She didn't expect to hear about any of this, and it doesn't make sense.
|
| 116
|
005931A2
|
I listened... And... Emerson. The Board. They used... all of us. And my crewmates, too.
|
Dripping with emotion, shock - her world view is crumbling
|
| 117
|
005931A4
|
I'm glad to have another Emergence Kit, but I'm annoyed that Emerson doesn't think anything is worth investigating. You know?
|
Emergence not Emergency. Like Emerging from deep sleep. Disappointed.
|
| 118
|
Speaking of which... when you approached that Robot, I detected a frequency distruption. Maybe it was sending a signal. But to whom?
|
Perplexed. This warrants more investigation.
|
| 119
|
005931A5
|
I should have known Emerson was more involved than he was letting on. I should have known. Damn it.
|
She says the last line while starting to look over the document.
|
| 120
|
005A134F
|
I'm glad... I thought A.T.H.E.N.A. was a monster. A parasite.
|
|
| 121
|
005A1350
|
I finally feel... me, again. But...
|
|
| 122
|
005A20AE
|
We're been through so much, haven't we?
|
Let's chat
|
| 123
|
0055546C
|
0055546E
|
I triangulated the signal and was able to pull out a few more details...
|
preamble to explaining the mission to the player (mostly a bridge for technical reasons, don't dwell on the line, it's connective tissue)
|
| 124
|
0055546F
|
So... I was able determine a couple of things from the scanner's readings.
|
preamble to explaining the mission to the player (mostly a bridge for technical reasons, don't dwell on the line, it's connective tissue)
|
| 125
|
00555470
|
Here's what I was able to parse out of the scanner data...
|
preamble to explaining the mission to the player (mostly a bridge for technical reasons, don't dwell on the line, it's connective tissue)
|
| 126
|
00559B84
|
Understood. If you have time later, I'll be around.
|
a little disappointed, but no skin off your back. Player declined to do your mission/favor.
|
| 127
|
00559B86
|
No worries. If you do have time later on, let me know.
|
a little disappointed, but no skin off your back. Player declined to do your mission/favor.
|
| 128
|
00559B87
|
Roger. Stay safe out there.

I can see the appeal of living this way now that everything is... well, different. It's... liberating, in a way.

Hey friend. Welcome back.

genuine gratitude for a new friend (player) who's been helping you out

Comm check. Come in, please. Comm check.

(to yourself but loudly) trying to locate some important gear and people using a radio beacon terminal, but not having any luck

|
Ah, hey. Good to see you again.
|
|
| 134
|
0055FD1F
|
Hey you! Just came by to brighten my day a bit, hmm?
|
|
| 135
|
0055FD20
|
There you are. I was hoping you would stop by. Always puts a smile on my face.

Even the plants look... so different.
|
|
| 137
|
0055FD50
|
In times like this you wonder... what would the Mistress of Mystery do?
|
Pretty serious about it, too
|
| 138
|
00560145
|
I haven't found anything yet. The console takes a while to scan the whole area and digest the data... and then it takes me some time to analyze it.
|
|
| 139
|
00560146
|
Thanks for letting me stay here with you for a bit.
|
|
| 140
|
00564489
|
I'll be here, friend.
|
|
| 141
|
00564490
|
I respect that.
|
|
| 142
|
00564491
|
I hear that. I truly do.
|
|
| 143
|
00564492
|
Fair enough. I suppose we all have to rely on whatever pluck we have when the going gets tough.
|
|
| 144
|
00564494
|
I miss the old Unstoppables radio broadcasts. Maybe the world needs new super heroes now though?
|
wondering
|
| 145
|
00564495
|
That's sort of what I figured. Seems like this world favors the strong now, right? Makes sense. I'll keep that in mind, I suppose.
|
She is interested and not judging the player for their choices.
|
| 146
|
0056BF49
|
Affirmative. Out.
|
|
| 147
|
0056BF5F
|
Is this just the new normal?
|
|
| 148
|
0056C852
|
Confirmed. Mission is GO!
|
|
| 149
|
0056C860
|
Don't worry, I'll watch the place while you're gone.
|
It's not a problem
|
| 150
|
0056D76E
|
I wonder if the whole world is like this...
|
|
| 151
|
0056D770
|
How is anybody supposed to get some rest in a world like this?
|
|
| 152
|
0056D776
|
I can't believe this is just how it is now.
|
|
| 153
|
0056D779
|
Oh! Well, that's... promising.
|
|
| 154
|
Looks like we got something here.
|
|
| 155
|
0056DCB8
|
What's going on?
|
|
| 156
|
Is something happening?
|
|
| 157
|
0056DCB9
|
To think how small these mountains would've looked from our ship...
|
|
| 158
|
0056DCBA
|
It's good to know the nukes didn't destroy everything.
|
|
| 159
|
0056DCBB
|
I swear this place smells like lemons and dog armpits.
|
|
| 160
|
0056DCBC
|
The air is just so harsh here... like breathing flecks of glass covered in grease.
|
|
| 161
|
0056DCC0
|
One thing at a time.
|
Deep breathing
|
| 162
|
0056F6AD
|
Roger that. When you have time later, I'll be standing by.
|
|
| 163
|
0056F6AF
|
No problem. Just swing by later if you have time and I'll see if the signal is still available.
|
|
| 164
|
0056F6B5
|
Yeah, of course! The Unstoppables, Silver Shroud, all of that. Mistress of Mystery was my favorite, of course.
|
Excitedly, nerdy
|
| 165
|
I was hoping that the new television show for the Mistress of Mystery would be out when I returned, but... I guess not.
|
Sighs, she was looking forward to that.
|
| 166
|
0056F6B6
|
Oddly... yes. I camped out here a few times while I was in graduate school with a good friend, Emerson. Ah, those were the days.
|
Amazed the player asked this, it's so random!
|
| 167
|
We were in the same physics programs at college and hit it off. It ended up not working out for us, but we remained friends...
|
Remembering the good old times
|
| 168
|
Which was good because he joined the U.S.S.A. towards the end of my astronaut training. Ha! That would have been awkward.
|
Muttering at the end, jokingly
|
| 169
|
0056F6C4
|
I spent a good while trying to verify the initial telemetry, and I found something... interesting.
|
|
| 170
|
0056F70A
|
Coordinates confirmed... okay, that should be everything that we need.
|
|
| 171
|
0056F70B
|
Hmm... okay, could be worth checking out.
|
|
| 172
|
0056F70D
|
This one took a while to nail down. I think something was obscuring the signal... but I am pretty sure about these details now.
|
|
| 173
|
0056F70E
|
There was a lot of noise in these scans, but I figured out a couple of helpful things...
|
|
| 174
|
0056F70F
|
Sure, so I was able to pull these details from the scanner's readings...
|
preamble to explaining the mission to the player (mostly a bridge for technical reasons, don't dwell on the line, it's connective tissue)
|
| 175
|
0056F710
|
To recap, here's a summary of the scanner data...
|
preamble to explaining the mission to the player (mostly a bridge for technical reasons, don't dwell on the line, it's connective tissue)
|
| 176
|
0056F711
|
Okay, so I was able to pull this information from the signal that I picked up on the scanner earlier...
|
preamble to explaining the mission to the player (mostly a bridge for technical reasons, don't dwell on the line, it's connective tissue)
|
| 177
|
0056F712
|
I wish I had more details, but that's about all I could pull from the scanner.
|
|
| 178
|
00571F42
|
It's funny, I went to space... and yet never saw any place that looked quite so... alien.
|
|
| 179
|
0057266F
|
I understand. I'll keep tracking the signal and if you have time later, just stop by.
|
|
| 180
|
00572670
|
Of course. Just let me know when you have time and I'll grab updated information on the scanner.
|
|
| 181
|
00572671
|
Fair enough. Come back when you have time, okay?
|
|
| 182
|
0057267B
|
I listened to the Holotape that you found, and... it's clear to me that we need to destroy this robotic intelligence.
|
She is still mad after listening to the holotape.
|
| 183
|
0057267C
|
When you killed that Robobrain, the scanner seemed to pick up on some high security signals all around the area...
|
Pondering the strangeness of that.
|
| 184
|
Maybe it was somehow interferring with our scanner... that's my best guess.
|
Seems possible, at least.
|
| 185
|
00572BD4
|
I feel like we're getting close to something here.
|
|
| 186
|
00572C10
|
It's been such a relief to just... feel normal again with no headaches!
|
She used to have terrible headaches.
|
| 187
|
00572C12
|
I've been catching up on issues of the Unstoppables lately... I've missed so much!
|
Excited
|
| 188
|
00572C2E
|
Nice work as always! My hero!
|
Amused
|
| 189
|
00572C2F
|
You're way too good at this stuff, you know that?
|
Said genuinely
|
| 190
|
00572C30
|
Every time I see you return from investigating one of these signals, it just makes me smile.
|
Said genuinely
|
| 191
|
00572C31
|
Ever the impressive one, aren't you?
|
Said genuinely
|
| 192
|
00572C32
|
You know, we make a good team together.
|
Amused
|
| 193
|
00572C33
|
I feel like we're in an Unstoppables comic. We're a team - I find the leads and you track them down. We're unstoppable!
|
Amused
|
| 194
|
00572C34
|
Thanks for chasing down that signal.
|
|
| 195
|
00572C9B
|
No matter what happens, I know you will be a part of it.
|
|
| 196
|
00572C9C
|
Unbelievably swell. It's really helping to keep me sane right about now, let me tell you what.
|
|
| 197
|
0057319D
|
We need to find A.T.H.E.N.A. now. It's time.
|
|
| 198
|
00585351
|
Thanks, friend. I got some Sugar Bombs from a trader while you were out last... I might plow through a box. Or ten. I need some comfort food.
|
Nervous, needs comfort food

Nice suit. Trying to help me fit in or something?
|
Player is wearing a spacesuit.
|
| 201
|
005856A3
|
You know... it's rough. I can't put it any other way. You know what I thought would happen when we landed?
|
She can't believe it.
|
| 202
|
I thought there would be a parade. I thought... maybe there would be a commemorative plaque.
|
It seems so... frivalous to her now.
|
| 203
|
I sure as hell didn't think the world would have gone the way of the dodo. You know?
|
Sighs at the end
|
| 204
|
005856AC
|
*humming*
|
Humming anything really as long as it's cool with Audio in terms of usage credits
|
| 205
|
005856AF
|
If only this console could play some holotape games... now that, that would be something.
|
She misses the games. Sort of muttering, sort of heartsick in a way.
|
| 206
|
0058949D
|
What's on your mind, my dear friend?
|
Happy to speak with their friend.
|
| 207
|
005894A0
|
We're been through so much, haven't we?
|
Let's chat
|
| 208
|
005896DC
|
Did you want to talk about something else?
|
Friendly
|
| 209
|
005896DD
|
I mean, yeah. That's what I thought too. What else was on your mind, anyway?
|
Neutral. She doesn't know the player well.
|
| 210
|
005896F8
|
Oh, of course...
|
A little nervous... Unsure of what the player wants to say, may be breaking up with her.
|
| 211
|
0058C8E7
|
We just need the key now, and then we're good to go forward.
|
Determined.
|
| 212
|
0058C901
|
I hope someone kind found them and they're just recovering somewhere... but they weren't in the emergency escape pod, so... *sighs*
|
Trying to stay hopeful. Maybe things will be okay? Worry. She knows better though. This line is said in quest intro AND when quest is in progress.
|
| 213
|
0058EAE7
|
Roger that. I know just the place to start looking... spotted it while you were out before. It probably has records, holotapes, that sort of thing.
|
She's experimenting with the player's time in a good way.
|
| 214
|
0058F244
|
So... this is a kill switch, huh? It deletes whatever A.T.H.E.N.A. is entirely. Well, let's try this before we try the hammers, I guess.
|
Sort of amused. Not sure if this will work, but she's willing to try.
|
| 215
|
0058F2BF
|
I'm nervous too. Talking helps...
|
They are about to go on an important mission with the player... this is a stressful time. Talking may help.
|
| 216
|
0058F2C0
|
I've got some time... sure. What's on your mind?
|
Neutral greeting. She barely knows the player, She is also a bit stressed.
|
| 217
|
0058F2C1
|
Talk to me, friend. It's comforting to have a normal conversation sometimes.
|
Neutral greeting. She knows the player a bit, she is a little stressed.
|
| 218
|
0058F2C2
|
What's on your mind, my friend?
|
Generally friendly. They know the player well.
|
| 219
|
0058F2C3
|
You make this look easy. I hope that holds, because we're about to head into the fire now.
|
Impressed at the Player, but also a bit nervous. They're about to do something difficult now.
|

|
| 223
|
00593196
|
Same as the other U.S.S.A. Robots. Right before you arrived, it sent out two signal bursts. One to a Robobrain and another to... something else.
|
She is not sure what this means, but she doesn't like the sound of it. She knew one signal would be released, but not two.
|
| 224
|
005A179E
|
I think the scanner's picking something up...
|
|
| 225
|
005A179F
|
Hmm, I wonder what this is. Definitely worth investigating.
|
|
| 226
|
005A19EE
|
Sounds like a good idea to me.
|
|
| 227
|
005A19EF
|
Impressive. Real impressive, actually.
|
|
| 228
|
005A19F0
|
I can get behind that.
|
|
| 229
|
005A19F1
|
That works.
|
|
| 230
|
005A19F2
|
It's not ideal... but it is what it is, I guess.
|
|
| 231
|
005A19F3
|
I am not okay with this.
|
|
| 232
|
005A19F4
|
It's a headscratcher for sure.
|
|
| 233
|
005A19F5
|
No. No. Absolutely not, no.
|
|
| 234
|
005A19F6
|
Sure thing.
|
|
| 235
|
005A19F7
|
Mhmm.
|
|
| 236
|
005A19F8
|
I see where you're coming from but... no.
|
|
| 237
|
005A19F9
|
Thanks, but, uh, no thanks.
|
|
| 238
|
005A19FA
|
Not an option. Sorry.
|
|
| 239
|
005A19FB
|
How do I put this? Oh. No way in hell.
|
|
| 240
|
005A19FC
|
Wh-why would you do that?
|
|
| 241
|
005A19FD
|
Are you serious right now?!
|
|
| 242
|
005A19FE
|
Have you lost your mind?!
|
|
| 243
|
005A19FF
|
Everything you need to know should be on that tape.
|
|
| 244
|
005A1A00
|
This note should cover the important parts.
|
|
| 245
|
005A1A01
|
Thank you.
|
|
| 246
|
005A1A02
|
I owe you one after that.
|
|
| 247
|
005A1A03
|
Here you go.
|
|
| 248
|
005A1A04
|
Here. Take it.
|
|
| 249
|
005A1A05
|
No, I don't think so.
|
|
| 250

I found something... odd... on the scanner.
|

|

Looks like I've got a signal of something on the scanner, but I'm not sure exactly what it is.
|

|
| 252
|
0055547E
|
I was tracking a signal on the scanner. I'll be honest, it's not equipment... but I can't tell beyond that.
|

|
| 253
|
0056F6D5

Found something that we need to take care of. Permenantly. You got me?
|
|
| 254
|
0056F6D7
|
I got a signal on the scanner... but it's faint. Very faint.
|
|
| 255
|
005A2281
|
Someone's gone missing. They could really use your help.
|
Concerned
|
| 256
|
005A2282
|
There isn't much time, so I'll make this quick. Someone has gone missing, and could be in real danger.
|
Urgent concern
|
| 257
|
005A2283
|
Bad news, I'm afraid. Someone has disappeared, and nobody knows for sure why.

Frustrated. Red Menace is a holotape game that she enjoyed.

Nice place... I mean, I think it's nice anyway.

This is a mobile campsite, then? Fascinating. Definitely useful.

If my crew is out there, I hope they found someone decent to take them in.

Ok, I've gotta admit. I was kind of hoping you'd find my Unstoppables collection in that crate... Oh well.

Hopefully, the owner of that beacon will show up soon. Maybe they have some information on my crew.

I can't believe that beacon belonged to Emerson... After all this time.
|
|
| 286
|
005A1A51
|
I hope Emerson's wrong about my crew. He has to be... right?
|
|
| 287
|
005A1A52
|
I still can't believe I was the only survivor. Now I have to find out what happened... for them.
|
Determined.
|
| 288
|
005A1A53
|
I hope this emergence kit can work some magic. I could use a break from these headaches.
|
hopeful
|
| 289
|
005A1A54
|
Hearing those whalesongs again was a bit unsettling. And to think how soothing they used to be.
|
Determined.
|
| 290
|
005A1A55
|
I can't believe Emerson may be in on this. I thought we were friends. I never even doubted him.
|
|
| 291
|
005A1A56
|
To think I had no idea what was going on the entire time. I can't even tell you how... stupid that makes me feel.
|
Frustrated.
|
| 292
|
005A1A57
|
I always loved the crazy stories and drama in the Unstoppables, but now I feel like I'm living one and... not so great!
|
She's irritated, but making a joke and trying to not let it bother her.
|
| 293
|
005A1A58
|
I can't believe my only living connection to the past is turning out to be a complete... let's just say "fraud."
|
|
| 294
|
You have no idea how glad I am to have you on my side right now.
|
|
| 295
|
005A1A59
|
I hate to think of what this Serum Z really is. I should at least get a super power out of this, right?
|
|
| 296
|
Heh... wishful thinking.
|
talking to herself, trailing off.
|
| 297
|
005A1A5A
|
So people I trusted turned on me, and the people they trusted turned on them...
|
|
| 298
|
It's so much to take in... and with these headaches on top of it? I hope vacations still exist in this world because I need one.
|
|
| 299
|
005A1A5B
|
Does one mystery always have to lead to another? I wonder what Athena's involvement was and what sort of... connections it was making.
|
|
| 300
|
005A1A5C
|
Now that we have Arachne, we can shut down Athena. I'm done being a guinea pig, and definitely done with these headaches.
|
|
| 301
|
005A1A5D
|
That access to Sugar Grove was the last thing we needed.
|
|
| 302
|
Wow, this is just like when the Mistress of Mystery got to infiltrate that hidden intelligence agency...
|
|
| 303
|
And yet not as cool when it happens in real life.
|
|
| 304
|
005A1A5E
|
I've been thinking about you all day.
|
|
| 305
|
005A1A5F
|
I love how just seeing you brightens my day.
|
|
| 306
|
005A1A60
|
I can't get over how much better I feel. The headaches are still there, but barely.
|
|
| 307
|
005A1A61
|
I wonder what Athena's doing right now. With that Assaultron body, sometimes I think she got the better end of the deal.
|
|
| 308
|
005A1A62
|
To think what the U.S.S.A. put us through... Even though she's an AI, Athena deserved that second chance.
|
|
| 309
|
005A1A63
|
Another pain free day with a clear mind. I really owe you, you know.
|
|
| 310
|
005A1A64
|
Sometimes I wonder if we did the right thing, but then I realize I'm not wincing in pain and feel completely validated.
|
|
| 311
|
005A1A65
|
Don't feel guilty about Athena. She was just a tool created by the U.S.S.A.. If anything, feel good that you ended her suffering as well as mine.
|
|
| 312
|
0055F85F
|
0055F864
|
They said waking from deep sleep could be disorienting but... but this is unreal. Or... surreal.
|
She is absently commenting about her confused state and condition after waking up from the crash.
|
| 313
|
0055F865
|
Maybe I'm still asleep. Maybe... maybe that's why I'm still having these headaches.
|
She's in a bit of a depressed mood due to the headaches. This is said a lot, so this should be absently muttered.
|
| 314
|
0055F867
|
U.S.S.A. mission control. Do you copy? This is Commander Daguerre. Initiate Protocol Alpha-Zeta-17. Comm check. Respond, damn it!
|
composed but frustrated, trying to hail mission control over a radio terminal, you are growing more certain they will never respond
|
| 315
|
0055F869
|
Not even the satellites are responding. Huh.
|
Frustrated, muttering, confused
|
| 316
|
0055F86A
|
I have never had a headache last this long in my entire life...
|
wincing through an intermittent crushing headache
|
| 317
|
0055F86B
|
My graduate school headaches weren't this bad. Ugh.
|
wincing through an intermittent crushing headache
|
| 318
|
0055F86C
|
We didn't train for this. This shouldn't have happened.
|
Frustrated, muttering
|
| 319
|
0055F86D
|
It's not like the U.S.S.A. to have no plan for this potential outcome...
|
Concerned, a bit upset by this as well. Quietly muttering.
|
| 320
|
0055FD40
|
Sometimes I think... I woke up in a pile of smouldering debris. And I met someone... a stranger.
|
|
| 321
|
And over time, well... that stranger isn't a stranger anymore at all.
|
|
| 322
|
I don't believe in luck or fate or any of that, but I do know that I wouldn't have changed a thing.
|
|
| 323
|
0055FD41
|
I never imagined that I would share a home with somebody wonderful in a world like this, but this is my life. And I love it.
|
|
| 324
|
0055FD42
|
I guess I just need to accept that this place... is home now. And... maybe that's okay.
|
|
| 325
|
0055FD43
|
It's sort of refreshing to be out in the world, wake up whenever... do whatever I want. I mean, there are some perks to the uh, apocalypse, I guess.
|
|
| 326
|
0055FD44
|
Does anyone hear that sound? That high-pitched sound? I swear...
|
|
| 327
|
0055FD45
|
It's like a red hot poker in the back of my eye. Just... comes and goes. Ugh.
|
|
| 328
|
0055FD48
|
I can't believe everything went to hell while I was asleep. I thought they would have figured things out before... I thought we had time.
|
|
| 329
|
0055FD49
|
Headaches just get worse and worse...
|
|
| 330
|
0055FD4B
|
What if... what if everyone I knew is... is... *sighs*
|
She was going to say: "What if everyone is dead?" This is a stage of grief... she is approaching acceptance.
|
| 331
|
0056D76C
|
Feels like the air itself is fried.
|
|
| 332
|
0056D771
|
The way everything changes... it's just so fast.
|
|
| 333
|
0056D772
|
Go to space, they said. The whole world will be watching, they said. Ugh.
|
|
| 334
|
0056D774
|
Well, nukes can't be good for my headaches.
|
|
| 335
|
0056DCB7
|
Could be worse... could be raining.
|
|
| 336
|
0056DCBD
|
Ugh. My head is killing me.
|
RE-RECORD: Wincing through an intermittent headache through gritted teeth. Not overly painful so she could reasonably flow into a conversation.
|
| 337
|
0056DCBE
|
Okay... so if the ship broke apart in orbit, they should be near... hmm.
|
Considering the options
|
| 338
|
0056F6CA
|
Feel that cool breeze...
|
|
| 339
|
0056F6CC
|
The air is just so harsh here... like breathing flecks of glass covered in grease.
|
|
| 340
|
00571F4E
|
It's funny, I went to space... and yet never saw any place that looked quite so... alien.
|
|
| 341
|
005856AA
|
I used to love these kinds of days... stay inside and just play holotape games. Ahh.
|
Nostalgic
|
| 342
|
005856AD
|
Nothing smells normal anymore...
|
Musing about the weirdnesses of the world
|
| 343
|
005856AE
|
Ack. Sharp... sharp headache. Very sudden. One... two... three... Okay. I'm okay.
|
Counting slowly. Deep breathing. Then it passes.
|
| 344
|
005856B0
|
Every once in a while I just hear this high-pitched sound... very irritating. Not sure if it's related to nukes or... I don't know. The console?
|
Muttering to herself, what could it be?
|
| 345
|
0059318F
|
I can't believe this is just how it is now.
|
|
| 346
|
00593191
|
I wonder if the whole world is like this...
|
|
| 347
|
00593192
|
How is anybody supposed to get some rest in a world like this?
|
|
| 348
|
00593193
|
One thing at a time.
|
Deep breathing
|
| 349
|
005A17A0
|
I guess the view from these mountains is the next best thing to space.
|
|
| 350
|
005A17A1
|
Times like these, I wish I had my helmet.
|
There's all sorts of ash and smoke in the air.
|
| 351
|
005A17A2
|
What happened to this place? It's so... lifeless.
|
Thinking to herself.
|
| 352
|
005A17A3
|
Being out here reminds me of camping.
|
|
| 353
|
005A17A4
|
If only Simon was still alive... he would have loved to see this place.
|
A little sad. Simon is a dead crew member.
|
| 354
|
005A17A5
|
It's almost unbelievable what's happened here.
|
Commenting on the highly unusual vines infesting trees in The Mire region.
|
| 355
|
00564477
|
00564485
|
It's hard. I don't know what to say. It's more than I ever expected could happen... this wasn't even in the realm of possibilities when I launched.
|
|
| 356
|
But... it could have been worse. I need to remember that.
|
|
| 357
|
00572CC6
|
It felt like nothing else. I remember spinning in place, eyes fixed on Earth, unable to look away. So far away, so perfect.
|
Foreshadowing. A little ominous.
|
| 358
|
00564478
|
0056448C
|
No? I need a TF-85b adapter to improve the visual fidelity of the scanner, but those... those were being phased out when... when...
|
Stuttering over her own memories prior to launch.
|
| 359
|
*coughs* When I launched decades ago. So, now I need to be the one to adapt... er else. Right? ...Right?
|
She tries to make a dad joke in the end. Adapter = Adapt Or....
|
| 360
|
Eh. Oh well. Anyway... no, I don't really have what I need, but I'm making due. I think I can muddle through this.
|
Shrug.
|
| 361
|
0056F6BA
|
I'm not sure they do... We had one of those on the ship and it landed with me... but it wasn't aggressive. I don't know.
|
Confused, it doesn't seem right.
|
| 362
|
But... they really aren't taking a direct line to attack me, either. Maybe they're damaged or have been corrupted somehow.
|
Just a guess.
|
| 363
|
00572CAB
|
Used to work with me at the U.S.S.A. Seems like he started working elsewhere after I went to space sometime...
|
She's also perplexed by this
|
| 364
|
I never expected to see him here, but... I never expected to be in Appalachia either. It makes me wonder about why my ship crashed here, you know?
|
Pondering
|
| 365
|
I know it had emergency landing protocols to take it somewhere near certain U.S.S.A. sites. But... I don't know. I never thought I needed to know.
|
Frustrated
|
| 366
|
00572CC5
|
I know this sounds odd but... not much has changed for me. Not many new consoles have been invented since... uh... my time, I guess.
|
A bit of a shrug, kind of sad
|
| 367
|
The scanner upgrade has helped to compensate for the degradation that has occurred in the past years...
|
Nerding out
|
| 368
|
I'm trying to modify it so I can use it for other stuff too. Maybe hijack the scanner so I can run a holotape game... oh that would be good.
|
Her eyes light up at the thought
|
| 369
|
005856A8
|
Sure, of course. I guess this is all... ancient history now, I guess. Geez.
|
She realizes that makes no sense
|
| 370
|
Including me, we had a crew of four, all scientists and engineers. The plan was to use the Deep Sleep pods and record the biological data.
|
Remembering the purpose of the mission
|
| 371
|
We wanted to know if there were medical uses. You know. We had tried it out on Earth already with volunteers, but not in space.
|
Stating the facts
|
| 372
|
It wasn't that complicated. Honestly, I felt like we had the resources for a much more complex experiment. But, I guess they wanted to take it slow.
|
Foreshadowing. She was the experiment!
|
| 373
|
0056447B
|
0056448D
|
Well, I should let you get back to whatever it is that you're doing. It was nice to have a sort of normal chat.
|
|
| 374
|
Let me know once you find that scanner. Hopefully they aren't all destroyed. Maybe we can salvage one if so, though.
|
|
| 375
|
0056447E
|
00564497
|
That is exactly what I thought. You're a reflection of the brutality of this world, my friend. You're a finely tuned deadly instrument.
|
She isn't judging the player. She's genuinely interested and impressed by their answer.
|
| 376
|
I just hope that my technical skills are of use to you. Maybe after I'm done with everything, I can find something for you to kill.
|
She isn't judging the player. She's genuinely interested and impressed by their answer.
|
| 377
|
0056449A
|
Ah, so calculated risks and making sure you're taking the best shots when you need to. Makes sense.
|
She isn't judging the player. She's genuinely interested and impressed by their answer.
|
| 378
|
0059FA65
|
Fascinating. So you think you've adapted in some way to thrive in this environment? Just... intriguing.
|
She is very interested in this new study subject.
|
| 379
|
I would definitely like to use the scanner sometime later to test out your theory. Find some challenges for you. Hmm. Just... fascinating.
|
Very interested in what she could find for the player to do in the world. Probably fighting robots.
|
| 380
|
00564482
|
0056F683
|
I wish I had more details, but that's about all I could pull from the scanner.
|
|
| 381
|
0056F684
|
That's pretty much all I could pull from the scanner on this one. So, what do you think?
|
|
| 382
|
0056F685
|
And that's all I know. So are you interested in checking it out?
|
|
| 383
|
0056F686
|
Seemed worth your time, so I figured you'd want to know about it.
|
|
| 384
|
0056F687
|
When this signal came up on the scanner, I figured you might want to know about it.
|
|
| 385
|
0056BF33
|
0056BF44
|
This console you set up for me looks pretty good. A little rusty in places though... I guess you got these parts from a junkyard, huh?
|
|
| 386
|
Anyway, the scanner is pretty weak. So I would like to focus on upgrading that first, if you don't mind?
|
|
| 387
|
0056F676
|
0056F6F3
|
So, how did you survive... all of this?
|
Asked after musing that the world has changed so much.
|
| 388
|
0056F677
|
0056F68D
|
For an hour, maybe. Just before getting into our deep sleep pods.
|
|
| 389
|
The Earth was stunning. Hanging there, alone in the void of stars.
|
|
| 390
|
I felt like I couldn't look away even if I wanted to. But also... I didn't want to.
|
|
| 391
|
0056F690
|
You saw my wreck, didn't you? I don't know how else to prove it to you.
|
Kind of insulted, but trying to be friendly about it.
|
| 392
|
You know, it's equally surprising to me that you've survived... all of this. It's good that wonders will never cease, right?
|
Throwing it back at the player a bit, but not in an unfriendly way. "Everything is unlikely in someone's eyes."
|
| 393
|
00572CC3
|
The headaches from emerging from Deep Sleep are worse than they implied it would be.
|
Still has some headaches
|
| 394
|
I don't know. I feel sudden spikes of pain at times, and it takes a while to subside. I'm dealing with it, but... it's still happening.
|
Concerned this could be pretty bad.
|
| 395
|
0058568A
|
I did! Last time you were gone, I went on a short stroll. Didn't go far... but I saw some weird stuff. Just... bizarre.
|
She saw regular fallout stuff.
|
| 396
|
Saw a giant... huge... greenish... man? With a two-headed cow. He was selling things. Super nice fellow.
|
Talking about Grahm
|
| 397
|
He said he would stop by later. Said he hopes to check on me when he can. I can't wait. It's... such a shock but also amazing!
|
Telling the player that Grahm will visit sometime.
|
| 398
|
0059FA08
|
That's... unexpectedly thoughtful of you. I was just thinking about an old holotape game that I used to play, but they won't work in this console.
|
She thinks about it for a bit at the end.
|
| 399
|
Maybe I could adapt it though... so, if you run across one later can you let me know?
|
Adapt the console to work with holotape games
|
| 400
|
0056F679
|
005856A4
|
I have... so many questions. Just... how? Why? I was saying goodbye to everybody and... they're really gone.
|
She's shocked by so much.
|
| 401
|
I think I understand what has happened from stray broadcasts... to some degree. I guess... I guess it was war.
|
She can't believe it.
|
| 402
|
And somehow... this is the world that survived. I can't even put all of this into words right now.
|
Stunned, shocked
|
| 403
|
My memories of everything from before all of this are so fresh, just below the surface... I was *just* there.
|
Sighing
|
| 404
|
00573180
|
00573183
|
I did a scan of Sugar Grove and I only spotted one USSA signal. Just one.
|
|
| 405
|
Maybe they're blocking my scans? It definitely could be a trap.
|
|
| 406
|
So go there and find A.T.H.E.N.A. and deploy the Arachne holotape.
|
|
| 407
|
00573181
|
00573184
|
Okay, hurry. I'll wait.
|
|
| 408
|
00573182
|
00573185
|
I don't know how this is going to go. I think it's safest if you go in first, and I'll follow. We know you aren't influenced by her.
|
|
| 409
|
See if you can shut it down first, then I'll follow you. It should be as simple as inserting a holotape.
|
|
| 410
|
I believe in you, friend. And thank you for doing this for me.
|
|
| 411
|
005A12E2
|
See if you can shut it down first, then I'll follow you. It should be as simple as inserting a holotape.
|
|
| 412
|
I believe in you, friend. And thank you for doing this for me.
|
|
| 413
|
0058532D
|
00572CA9
|
The Stimpak does help, not a ton, but it takes the edge off, at least. Thanks for asking, friend.
|
The player just gave her a stimpak recently and now they are asking if it helped. It helped a bit, not completely gone. She is grateful for the help.
|
| 414
|
00572CAA
|
I wish I knew. My ship's robot certainly didn't care about me at all. It didn't even check on me, and I know it saw me.
|
|
| 415
|
00572CC9
|
I think it helps with the side-effects, but just not the major bursts of pain. I appreciate it though, it helps me sleep better.
|
Thankful
|
| 416
|
Before we launched, I had a lot of anxiety. Made it hard for me to sleep, so I'd listen to ocean noises, whales singing... always put me right out.
|
Drifting, trailing towards the end. Foreshadowing of finding a whalesong brainwashing holotape later.
|
| 417
|
0058532F
|
0056F708
|
I'm not sure exactly but... I do know that my ship's auto-pilot took us here to Appalachia for a reason. Maybe this beacon was it.
|
The ship was steering towards something in this area. She thinks it HAS to be connected.
|
| 418
|
0056F709
|
Yes. I believe the other crew members were in a separate part of the ship. The signal moved a bit. Could be survivors, could be scavengers.
|
Considering the options of what this could be, but not holding onto a lot of hope.
|
| 419
|
005733E3
|
I don't suppose you can just swing by a tech supplies store, hmm? Didn't think so.
|
Jokingly
|
| 420
|
Last I knew, these types of things were common items in military bases and compounds. But my information is admittedly out of date...
|
Pondering
|
| 421
|
I'll transfer the coordinates to a local military base, but I can't vouch for its security status. It's hard to detect anything specific right now.
|
she is going to send you a location
|
| 422
|
00585434
|
I noticed another U.S.S.A. signal approach it a bit ago, and then they both disappeared completely for a moment... and only this one reappeared.
|
This is hinting to the player that it's a robot and that it's an assaultron (because they have cloaking abilities)
|
| 423
|
I'm not sure what that means but... there are only a few reasons why a signal disappears. Death is one of them.
|
She admits that it's possible, but she doesn't want to say for certain. She doesn't know.
|
| 424
|
0000058C
|
They let me take a crate of personal items! We weren't supposed to be in Deep Sleep the whole time, you know.
|
Pretending to be defensive
|

|
Can you find a Scanner Upgrade Module for this? It would help us find so much more, and much more quickly.
|
Asking the player to do the mission
|
| 426
|
0058568B
|
If you grab the beacon, I'm sure whoever is monitoring it will come looking for us. Let's make them find us.
|
Emphasis on *them* -- Let's make THEM find US (for a change).
|
| 427
|
0058568C
|
Think you could just... sneak over there and poke your head in? If they seem problematic, maybe... stop them somehow? I don't know.
|
Asking the player to do the mission. Not sure what it is, so she isn't sure how to take care of it. Could be a person or robots or anything.
|
| 428
|
0058C900
|
Might just be a crate of space food. But maybe it's got some emergency contact codes for the satellites.
|
Asking the player to do the mission
|
| 429
|
Heck, it could even be my personal crate full of my Unstoppables comics that I foolishly brought with me to space. I thought I'd have time...
|
She drifts off at the end here, sort of annoyed, sort of amused that she was so naive.
|
| 430
|
0058D8F0
|
Can you go there and see what's there? It might be just empty wreckage, but I need to know.
|
She isn't sure if she can make it due to the pain of possibly seeing her friends' bodies.
|
| 431
|
00585336
|
00553B11
|
No problem. I'll be around here, I've got a lot of work to do with this console anyway.
|
A little set back or put off, but not entirely upset about it. She doesn't really know if she can count on the player anyway.
|
| 432
|
I was thinking about updating the display so I could play a holotape game on it... or something. Hmm.
|
She is a gamer nerd. If the player isn't going to help, she's going to have some fun.
|
| 433
|
0056C85B
|
Okay, but this scanner could be useful to you too. Maybe I can configure it to find resources or valuables or something for you. You know? Ok... bye.
|
Kind of annoyed, but she understands.
|
| 434
|
0058540D
|
Okay, I understand. I really ought to be resting anyway. I'm still recovering from serious trauma, you know? I push myself too much sometimes...
|
Player declined the quest. She hopes they come back some other time, and she realizes she should just take it easy for a bit anyway.
|
| 435
|
0058C8EA
|
I hear you. My head has been utterly killing me since the wreck... so go take a break then come back when you have time, maybe?
|
Player is declining quest. Said if the player didn't get the med kit in the intro quest.
|
| 436
|
0058C8EB
|
I hear you, for sure. The Med Kit that you gave me earlier helped a lot but... I'm still having sharp pangs every now and then...
|
Player is declining quest. Said if the player got the med kit in the intro quest.
|
| 437
|
So I'm going to sort of take it easy for a bit, maybe work on the console when I can. Just let me know when you have time.
|
Telling the player to come back soon.
|
| 438
|
0058C8EC
|
Copy that. Just let me know when you have time for this, please.
|
Slightly annoyed that the player isn't willing to help right now, but willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
|
| 439
|
00585338
|
0055FD23
|
Swell. In the meantime, I'll fix up this console a bit. Did you know that it *still* uses the outdated P14-b configuration for its power chamber?
|
She says this like you should know what a shame that is. EMphasis on the Still
|
| 440
|
I mean, I know you all survived the end of the world, but... using this as-is would be like living in squalor *and* the apocalypse.
|
Nerd shaming
|
| 441
|
0056F6F5
|
Okay. Just... be careful. I wish I could tell what it is but... it just seems so... unnatural. But what does that mean in a world like this?
|
She's surrounded by mutants, so she isn't sure anymore what IS natural.
|
| 442
|
0056F6FA
|
If you do find them, then we'll have to make room for them here. Right? Bunk beds, maybe? There would be three others, you know...
|
She's kind of excited, maybe a little delirious momentarily by the thought of it actually working out.
|
| 443
|
00571F53
|
In the meantime, I'll cross-reference some data from the flight recorder and the scanner's readings. I need to find my crew, and I think I'm close.
|
Player accepted the quest, and she is saying what she will be doing while the player is gone. Nerdy. Excited.
|
| 444
|
0058C8FE
|
Hah. I doubt it is. They probably all burned up on re-entry, sadly. I had a full collection... argh!
|
She's sort of joking but not really.
|
| 445
|
Anyway, it's probably astronaut food or something else that the U.S.S.A. thought I might need.
|
She isn't sure what it might be.
|
| 446
|
0058533B
|
00585341
|
This console looks pretty good. A little rusty in places though... I guess you got these parts from a junkyard, huh? Resourceful.
|
Checking over the console quickly, kicking the tires
|
| 447
|
The scanner currently has a model 38-x2, which is built for scanning very specific locations. Not bad, but... I would like to improve it.
|
Checking it out
|
| 448
|
The year before I launched, the military was rolling out some scanner upgrades. One of those could give us more speed and detail in our scans.
|
Nerdy
|
| 449
|
00585342
|
I found an old U.S.S.A. Beacon with a strong signal. It was activated here after my ship launched...
|
This is mysterious to her. It's not related to her crash.
|
| 450
|
Which means it isn't from someone on my ship, it isn't one of my crew.
|
She's just spelling it out for the player here.
|
| 451
|
The interesting thing is, this beacon should have lost power years ago. But it's still active.
|
She thinks someone is actively monitoring it.
|
| 452
|
00585344
|
But... I need to know for sure. I found some wreckage from the rest of the ship that has one of their suit beacons... maybe all of them are there.
|
She needs to know, she needs to put this to rest.
|
| 453
|
00585345
|
It just seemed like after the signal approached this place, it just... spun around and took off. It was strange. Sudden.
|
It's moving around in one location.
|
| 454
|
0058C8E1
|
In the meantime, I found some sort of emergency supplies crate that must have splintered off while the ship broke apart.
|
Speculating on what it could be. She is going to send the player off to find this item and she wants to explain why it exists.
|
| 455
|
00585676
|
0058567B
|
Well yeah, of course we're friends! So anyway, what's on your mind?
|
Thrilled. Yep, they're still good friends.
|
| 456
|
005896E0
|
I know. I'm just glad we're able to move on together as friends. That's so much more important to me.
|
Glad she can move on.
|
| 457
|
So... did you want to talk about something less depressing, or what?
|
Sort of jokingly
|
| 458
|
005896E1
|
Agreed. I'm glad we sorted that out... and it was fun while it lasted. What else is on your mind?
|
Happy she can move on
|
| 459
|
005896EA
|
Hmm, maybe more, huh? All right... I like the cover art to this issue.
|
Jokingly, but interested. Referencing a comic book's cover art.
|
| 460
|
005896EB
|
Oh? Do go on... my friend.
|
Said flirtingly. Said with a friendly chuckle at the end.
|
| 461
|
005896EC
|
Just maybe, huh? Well. It's a start. My ignition switch has already been started and primed. Just counting down now, my friend.
|
Interested and a bit forward, but in a friendly way
|
| 462
|
005896ED
|
Our wavelengths are in harmony on this one. Though I am beginning to think there's less of a "maybe" here...
|
Hinting that they should start the romance now.
|
| 463
|
005896EF
|
I mean, yeah. That's what I thought too. What else was on your mind, anyway?
|
Neutral. She doesn't know the player well.
|
| 464
|
005896F0
|
Roger that, my friend. Got anything else you want to chat about, or is that all?
|
Happy that they're still friends.
|
| 465
|
005896F1
|
Of course we're friends! I have to say... we should honestly start some sort of team. Solve mysteries, fight space crime... you know. That stuff.
|
Happy that they're still friends.
|
| 466
|
005896F2
|
You mean... like super best friends, right? Right?!
|
Happy that they're super best friends.
|
| 467
|
00585678
|
0058567A
|
Gotcha. It happens, don't worry. Glad we cleared that up!
|
Barely knows the player so this isn't a huge deal.
|
| 468
|
0058970E
|
Oh, okay. That's... unexpected. I wish I had noticed signs that this was coming, but... I didn't.
|
Player is breaking up with her after being in love with her. She's disappointed, sad, hurt, but won't be mad with them.
|
| 469
|
I... hear you, I'm glad you told me. I just... need a moment to myself now, if that's okay.
|
Sad
|
| 470
|
00589712
|
Roger that, loud and clear. Over and out!
|
Absolutely okay with this.
|
| 471
|
00589713
|
No problem, friend. Things have been so hectic lately, I completely understand how things could get mixed up between us.
|
Absolutely okay with this.
|
| 472
|
But I am very glad we sorted that out! Phew!
|
Very relieved, and completely okay with this
|
| 473
|
00589714
|
Oh, I see. I must have... I must have mistaken those readings. Is it okay if I blame Deep Sleep for this uh... stellar brain freeze moment?
|
Embarrassed, but absolutely okay with this.
|
| 474
|
I'm glad we cleared that up though. Now, my friend. Where were we?
|
Completely ok with this
|
| 475
|
00589715
|
Oh... okay. I'll survive another crash landing... somehow. Heh.
|
Embarrassed, disappointed, but totally okay with this.
|
| 476
|
It's... okay, my friend. Truly. Thanks for letting me know that I still have an amazing friend here.
|
Completely ok with this
|
| 477
|
00589457
|
00589459
|
That was a smart move, you know. Transferring her sensory link to the other robot.
|
Proud of the player
|
| 478
|
00589E99
|
005896DE
|
We did the right thing, you know.
|
|
| 479
|
00589E9A
|
00589E9B
|
I already feel the effects of her connection diminishing... my headaches are still here, but... it's more of a dull ache and less of a stabbing pain.
|
Previously she had terrible headaches.
|
| 480
|
But... it's worth it, I think. She is... free and so am I. Thanks to you, you know.
|
Grateful for the player's choice
|
| 481
|
0058BE90
|
0058BE98
|
I could tell. At first I wasn't sure, but... over time I knew it was more than that.
|
Begins a Romance if the player has a flirt.
|
| 482
|
0058C8DE
|
0058C8E0
|
I was digging into the Flight Recorder Data some more, and one signal seemed nearby enough to investigate.
|
She's excited she found this data
|
| 483
|
0058DDC1
|
The Upgrade Module is active and I can now pick up more signals around Appalachia. Time to check it out!
|
She's excited she found this data
|
| 484
|
0058DDC2
|
I was tracking this signal and it came right up to the camp then did a full reverse thrusters and went somewhere else.
|
It's a mystery. She's excited!
|
| 485
|
0058DDC3
|
Emerson didn't seem to think that anyone would survive the crash. I get it.
|
Somber, she knows it's unlikely.
|
| 486
|
0058DDC4
|
Emerson didn't seem to think that anyone would survive the crash. I get it.
|
Somber, she knows it's unlikely.
|
| 487
|
0058C8DF
|
00572680
|
You need to be careful. We know it's expecting you now. We also know that it knows we're bringing Arachne with us...
|
Trails off a bit.
|
| 488
|
Look, I'm not kidding around here. We know this is a trap. We know this is planned, and we know *it* knows *we* know. Right? I know!
|
Tongue twisted at the end. A bit joking at the end.
|
| 489
|
We just need to go in about this with that knowledge as our shield. I need you to help me, because... I may be compromised here.
|
She's not thrilled about this.
|
| 490
|
Do what you can to make my headaches stop, but also... I need to be free, I need to be extricated from this so I can leave all this behind me.
|
She's pleading with you to help, in the most dignified way possible.
|
| 491
|
0058EA08
|
0056BF51
|
I can't tell what it's doing there exactly, but it's moving around. So... I think it's alive? Or... I guess it could be a robot.
|
She can't tell from the scanner what it is. Could be anything, but the way it moves suggests that it's alive.
|
| 492
|
0056C850
|
The upgrade module should extend the range of the scanner in our console here rather substantially.
|
Explaining in non-technical terms
|
| 493
|
I can then cross-check some of the U.S.S.A. data that you gathered from my ship's console which will help isolate specific useful signals.
|
Explaining continues
|
| 494
|
0056F6CD
|
Yes, but I'm not sure how accurate the data is or if anything has scavenged it. It's hard to tell much more until I install the upgrade module.
|
It's been a while, could be torn apart by wild animals.
|
| 495
|
00571F4C
|
What are the chances they also ran into a benevolent Appalachian survivor who invited them to live in a charming wilderness abode, anyway?
|
Said in a somewhat desperate attempt at humor.
|
| 496
|
0058C8ED
|
It has nearly full power right now. That can only mean someone is still out there replacing its power cell regularly.
|
This means someone is out there.
|
| 497
|
0058EAF9
|
0058EB08
|
I couldn't have done any of this without you, you know... and that means a lot to me.
|
She is genuinely thankful.
|
| 498
|
0058EAFA
|
0058EB06
|
Fair enough. Well. I'm glad I can provide you with some entertainment, my good friend. That means a lot to me, you know.
|
Laughing a bit, or a chuckle.
|
| 499
|
0058EAFB
|
0058EB0A
|
That's exactly the reason why I became an astronaut. Well. I had plenty to do. I mean the love of adventure, really.
|
Amused, sort of joking.
|
| 500
|
0058EAFC
|
0058EB03
|
That's the spirit! Haha. You always know how to make me laugh. Thank you, my friend.
|
Laughing.
|
| 501
|
0058EAFD
|
0058EB04
|
It means so much after... after everything else has been changed. You've been here for me the whole time.
|
|
| 502
|
0058EAFE
|
0058EB0B
|
Please... call me Sofia. And thank you.
|
Genuinely grateful to hear this.
|
| 503
|
It means so much after... after everything else has been changed. You've been here for me the whole time.
|
Solemn mixed with gratittude.
|
| 504
|
0058F22E
|
0058F251
|
Succinctly? I was the experiment, and Emerson knew everything. I think they were hooking me up to some sort of robotic intelligence named Athena.
|
Sighs
|
| 505
|
I think the serum was used to open my neural pathways to allow the Athena unit to borrow my senses.
|
She's angry, cold... this was a cruel thing that they did to her.
|
| 506
|
0058F22F
|
0058F253
|
I've seen... fragments mentioning this before, here and there. I remember some conversations from before launch.
|
She's remembering.
|
| 507
|
I thought it was just someone who worked at the U.S.S.A. but... this has to be some sort of primitive robotic intelligence, I think. What else?
|
Pondering
|
| 508
|
0058F230
|
0058F252
|
I know... no wonder he didn't think they were alive. He knew those pods weren't in the right part of the ship. What was he thinking?
|
Sighs, angry.
|
| 509
|
0058F231
|
0058F241
|
Well... it sounds to me like we need to find whatever this "Athena" thing is and destroy it. Somehow. But I doubt it's a regular robot.
|
Worried, unsure. Something about this is familiar though.
|
| 510
|
0058F232
|
0058F250
|
He says he's a changed man, but can anyone change this much? I don't know. I really don't.
|
Unsure of his ability to change from a devious conniver to anything better in 30 years.
|
| 511
|
0058F233
|
0058F23A
|
So... this was their plan all along. And they were all involved. All of them. Especially Emerson.
|
Angry. Disappointed. Betrayed. Everyone she thought she trusted was actually out to get her.
|
| 512
|
0058F234
|
0058F23D
|
Ah... okay. I will have to give it a listen for myself, I think... one moment.
|
She's skeptical that the player actually did that.
|
| 513
|
0058F235
|
0058F23E
|
Hmm... okay.
|
She's listening to the holotape and muttering to herself.
|
| 514
|
0058F236
|
0058F23F
|
Uh. What? Let me listen to this.
|
Worried, upset, a little frantic. She has to listen to the holotape for herself.
|
| 515
|
0058F237
|
0058F23B
|
Okay, give me a moment to listen to it, then we can talk about it.
|
|
| 516
|
0058F238
|
0058F240
|
Okay, doing so now. Won't take me long.
|
Nodding, sensing this is important.
|
| 517
|
0058F239
|
0058F23C
|
That may be true! Give me a moment, I'll see.
|
Laughing a bit.
|
| 518
|
0058F8D2
|
0058F8E6
|
Listen, I know you've done a lot for me already. Got me out of that sunken bunker and let me stay here. It means a lot.
|
Grateful, tired but grateful. She knows it could have been worse.
|
| 519
|
If you don't mind, I'm going to continue scanning the console and listening to stray broadcast signals. It'll help me figure out what's going on.
|
Trying not to get overwhelmed. Nervous
|
| 520
|
0058F8E7
|
If you find anything, bring it back here if it seems useful. If it's astronaut food well... you can uh, keep it.
|
Said as she turns back to do her work. She doesn't know the player well. She's also sick of astronaut food at this point.
|
| 521
|
0058F8E8
|
Remember, when you pick up the beacon, whatever you do -- do not press any red buttons, do not ingest it, and do not sell it to communists.
|
jokingly, just covering her bases.
|
| 522
|
0058F8E9
|
Listen, this could be a trap... or it could be just a big misunderstanding. I can't really say for sure. Just be careful.
|
Warning.
|
| 523
|
0058F8EA
|
It's possible that you won't find anything there. It might just be rubble or... maybe it's been scavenged by animals. It's hard to know.
|
She expects the player to find nothing. She's kind of hoping they won't find anything.
|
| 524
|
In the meantime, I picked up an Unstoppables comic book from a visiting trader the other day. Maybe it will help me relax...
|
She isn't sure if it will help, but she needs to get some rest.
|
| 525
|
0058F90B
|
It's probably just as hostile as the last Robot. So be careful.
|
Warning.
|
| 526
|
0058F90C
|
Thanks, friend. I wonder if I can play some music from this console... Hmm. Oh, I don't think it has speakers... hmm...
|
Thankful that the player is doing this for her.
|
| 527
|
Anyway, be careful out there. I'll be around if you need anything or want to talk.
|
Friendly, neutral. She considers the player to be an okay new friend.
|
| 528
|
0058F90D
|
Thanks, friend. I got some Sugar Bombs from a trader while you were out last... I might plow through a box. Or ten. I need some comfort food.
|
Half-serious, half-joking. She is anxious about all of this.
|
| 529
|
0058F90E
|
I know this has been a lot of running around for you. I wish I could be out there too, but recovering from these headaches has been tricky...
|
Appreciative
|
| 530
|
Resting has helped a lot. Besides... I kind of like being the technical wizard here. We make a good team, you know?
|
She means it.
|
| 531
|
0058F90F
|
Thanks, friend. I'm going to scan the area for any more robots, at least that way I can keep myself busy and not be entirely pissed off.
|
Appreciative, annoyed, trying to be less annoyed.
|
| 532
|
0058F910
|
I feel like we're a strong team here. I investigate leads and you do the field work.
|
Genuinely excited.
|
| 533
|
It's like that issue of the Unstoppables with the Mistress of Mysteries and her team finally locate the lair -- er. Anyway. Good luck out there.
|
Excitedly geeking out then reigning herself back in.
|
| 534
|
Anyway. Good luck out there.
|
Said before sending the player on a mission.
|
| 535
|
0058F912
|
Already sent. While you're out, I'm going to track down that Robobrain that Emerson mentioned...
|
Thinking about it. She wonders if it is really a huge threat.
|
| 536
|
0058F913
|
Be careful. We know this thing is probably deranged.
|
Matter-of-fact.
|
| 537
|
0058F914
|
If you want to listen to the holotape, go ahead. It's not like anyone can do anything about it, you know.
|
What can they do... sue you?
|
| 538
|
0058F915
|
Everything I knew is turning upside down. Everything... except for you. You're the only person I can still trust.
|
Grateful to the player for being there.
|
| 539
|
0058F916
|
This is it. After this... when you get back... we have to prepare to confront this thing. Please be careful. Please.
|
Very concerned about the player.
|
| 540
|
0058F8D3
|

|
| 753
|
0059FB4C
|
Floaters. Heard a trader even confirm it while you were out. Dunno if it's worth it, could be nasty.
|
|
| 754
|
0059FB4D
|
Bunch of Floaters. Confirmed by the scanner. Sorry, wish it was something more manageable like... I dunno... overfed fluffy cats.
|
|
| 755
|
0059FB4F
|
Scanner is showing just a ton of Cultists are there. Not sure why... maybe a meeting. Do you think they have meetings?
|
|
| 756
|
0059FB50
|
Cultists, I think. It's hard to tell from the scanner. Be prepared for them, though.
|
|
| 757
|
0059FB51
|
I adjusted the scanner to try to tell exactly what's there and it seems like Raiders or Blood Eagles maybe... could be Cultists. Aggressive types.
|
|
| 758
|
0059FB53
|
Would you believe a bunch of rowdy Settlers are here? Just being... rowdy? I guess.
|
|
| 759
|
0059FB54
|
Readings show that a bunch of Settlers have taken up residence here and are acting... oddly aggressive. Watch out.
|
|
| 760
|
0059FB55
|
Scanner is indicating it's just... filled with a bunch of regular, aggressive people. I wonder if they're drunk or just... angry.
|
|
| 761
|
0059FB57
|
Snallygasters. The scanner was absolutely dead clear about this.
|
|
| 762
|
0059FB58
|
I thought I was tracking a single Snallygaster but it turned out to be many of them. Good luck, friend.
|
|
| 763
|
0059FB59
|
I found a group of Snallygasters who are hunting together. I mean... is that wild or what? Do you think they're a family?
|
|
| 764
|
0059E157
|
0058534A
|
So, let's intercept one of the U.S.S.A. robots that is heading this way. I want to know why they're doing this.
|
She's reasoning it out. Determined to move forward, despite being very sad about the deaths of her crew.
|
| 765
|
0058C8E3
|
Hmm... "suspension of living tissue" is right... not sure about the cyclic energy transfer stuff... I guess that could be anything though.
|
She's reading along with the document.
|
| 766
|
Two things jump out at me here though: something about sensory data transfers and...
|
She's listing the generally concerning issue first...
|
| 767
|
And the fact that Emerson was the supervisor. What the hell?
|
She is feeling betrayed a little, but she is going to give him an opportunity to explain.It's shocking, though. Surprised, Angry, Shocked
|
| 768
|
0058C8E4
|
We need to find that contract, I think. I want to know what that serum... did.
|
Curious, annoyed. That serum could have done permanent damage to her. Maybe it caused her headaches?
|
| 769
|
0058C8E5
|
I might be able to find a correlation somewhere associated with the timestamps... it's just a matter of finding out where they stored their backup data.
|
Pondering... this is information for a future mission.
|
| 770
|
0058C8EF
|
Okay, let's think about this logically. Either this is actually a high security tape or it is mislabeled somehow. Right?
|
Rhetorical question.
|
| 771
|
Let's... assume it's real for now. They used to make us listen to these whalesong tapes while we were using the Deep Sleeper Pods.
|
She's working through the situation, trying to link it to something that makes sense.
|
| 772
|
0059E158
|
0058C902
|
I've pinpointed one of them using Emerson's tip, so let's start with this one.
|
Asking the player to do the mission. Emerson told them to look for certain kinds of signals last time he visited, and she has now done that.
|
| 773
|
0058C904
|
So... let's see if we can dig up anything on the pods themselves. Documentation, user manuals, Dr. Bernard's designs, anything really.
|
It doesn't make sense. It's like keeping a receipt from McDonald's.
|
| 774
|
0058C905
|
The signal's signature is tagged with a code that indicates it is a high security holotape related to the Deep Sleep mission.
|
Excited, eager -- this could mean something huge!
|
| 775
|
0058C906
|
Okay, here's my plan. I found some old medical data from the U.S.S.A. stored nearby, and I want you to look for a copy of my records there.
|
Determined. She knows this should have some information.
|
| 776
|
0058C907
|
If this stuff caused my headaches, then maybe they... made an antidote? It's... it's a start anyway.
|
Determined but a bit exasperated. She isn't sure where to go from here.
|
| 777
|
0058C908
|
In the meantime, let's just eliminate that rogue U.S.S.A. robot that's lurking around monitoring us? It gives me the creeps.
|
Shivering at the end. What are these things reporting to anyway?
|
| 778
|
0059F964
|
005896E3
|
Oh! I've got a good one here. Ok. Brace yourself.
|
Said jokingly
|
| 779
|
I may have crashed into Earth, but you crashed into my heart. Yeah, right?!
|
Dad joke. She ends it like HEYYY HOW WAS THAT?!
|
| 780
|
Uh. Anyway...
|
Jokingly, embarrassed a bit, changing the subject
|
| 781
|
005896E4
|
Was there ever any doubt?! What else is on your mind, my love?
|
Said lovingly
|
| 782
|
005896E5
|
Duh! Okay, I got another one.
|
Said jokingly
|
| 783
|
It actually *did* hurt when I fell from the heavens... Falling for you, though, that felt much better.
|
Cackles madly at the end of it all...
|
| 784
|
Geez, I should say that one more often. Anyway... what's on your mind, lover?
|
Recovering from laughter, jokingly.
|
| 785
|
005896E6
|
You better believe it. Got anything else you want to talk about, my love?
|
In love
|
| 786
|
005896E7
|
I love you too.
|
Pleasant but matter-of-fact
|
| 787
|
0059FADB
|
I know. I've known for a bit... and, well, I love you too. I really do. It feels so good to finally say it.
|
Sincerely.
|
| 788
|
0059FADC
|
I'm... relieved. I wanted to tell you the same thing for a bit now but... I wasn't sure if you were ready.
|
Sincerely.
|
| 789
|
0059FADD
|
I was hoping you would say that...
|
Sincerely.
|
| 790
|
0059F966
|
0056F67E
|
You better believe it.
|
|
| 791
|
0056F69E
|
Oh, wow. Wow! I didn't even think to ask... I just figured, what with the world and all that people might stop making games...
|
|
| 792
|
This is amazing, the best... I can't wait to play this. Thank you so much, my friend. My... best friend in the whole world. Wee!
|
She says the last part jokingly.
|
| 793
|
0059F968
|
0056F6C1
|
There's nothing quite like curling up with a good game. This brightens my day.
|
|
| 794
|
0059F96A
|
0056F6C0
|
You're looking at the reigning East Coast Champion of the Ruby Ruins, my friend.
|
|
| 795
|
And yes -- for the record, I would love to play it even more. Transfer it to my console?
|
|
| 796
|
0059F96C
|
00572C9D
|
Anytime... Commander.
|
|
| 797
|
0059F96E
|
00572C9E
|
I'll be here, friend.
|
|
| 798
|
0059FA3A
|
I hope you won't be gone for too long...
|
Smiling, happy.. saying goodbye
|
| 799
|
0059FA3B
|
Initiating the countdown until you return...
|
Flirty, fun
|
| 800
|
0059F970
|
005896FB
|
It's pretty clear to me that you're fond of me, and... if things weren't so chaotic right now, if I didn't have these headaches all the time... well.
|
Player has flirted. She acknowledges that. They're also friends. She likes the player and may be okay with continuing.
|
| 801
|
I think I could see you that way too. Does that make sense?
|
She's asking the player if those feelings are right.
|
| 802
|
005896FC
|
I'll be honest. At first I sort of though you were... just bored, I guess. But it truly seems like you care.
|
Player has flirted. She acknowledges their good friendship as well. She likes the player and may be okay with a romance later. Not now.
|
| 803
|
You're really starting to grow on me, you know that? What's your take on this anyway?
|
Said with a grin. She likes where this is all headed.
|
| 804
|
005896FE
|
I... I'm glad you asked. I wanted to talk to you about this, but I wanted to see how you felt, first.
|
She wants to talk about whether there's more here. Starts the Romance scene.
|
| 805
|
0059F974
|
00589720
|
My best guess is... a program? Or another Robot?
|
Explaining
|
| 806
|
I just feel in my gut that Arachne is the key. To everything.
|
Scared, mad
|
| 807
|
00589722
|
Not surprised. While you were there, I saw a bunch of blips for other U.S.S.A. Robobrains that had been destroyed over the years.
|
Informing the player of a new angle
|
| 808
|
And there were a great many of them around some old U.S.S.A. Data facilities. Trying to get inside for some reason? I don't know.
|
Frustrated
|
| 809
|
0059F976
|
0056F698
|
I assume you mean, do I feel like my mind is being toyed with for some nefarious purpose?
|
|
| 810
|
I don't know. I feel like... me. But how can I even trust my own feelings?
|
|
| 811
|
00572CA5
|
I thought about it a lot. For a while, I thought... what is the point of comics? Of games?
|
Depression, sadness
|
| 812
|
Seemed like such a distraction from the stress in my life, from finding out the truth, from fixing what was left...
|
She is about to find some meaning in all of these woes.
|
| 813
|
But I realized that it's not only a distraction. Enjoyment is a fundamental part of life, even a stressful life.
|
This was a realization for her.
|
| 814
|
And you know what? I am still stressed and trying to fix my life... but it's easier to remember why I care when I can still feel joy.
|
It's easier to remember because she finds joy in the world.
|
| 815
|
0059FA5A
|
Not much. Headaches still come and go, and it's hard to sleep through those. I'd give anything for these headaches to end.
|
Sighs at the end.
|
| 816
|
0059FA5D
|
Maybe. For all I know, there could be other astronauts stranded up there in other experiments.
|
She gets quiet, this is upsetting.
|
| 817
|
Or maybe some of them went to work for other programs and are trying to save what's left of the world. I wish I knew, my friend. I wish I knew.
|
She wants to believe.
|
| 818
|
0059FA60
|
I don't know where else I would go. Everyone I knew is probably long gone by now...
|
Because they have aged also 25 years and there was the war, so it's unlikely anyone survived.
|
| 819
|
I think I'll stay here and watch out for you, for a change. It's only fair, my friend.
|
Smiling at the end. Telling the player she won't disappear.
|
| 820
|
0059F978
|
00572CC0
|
When you were out the other day, I tried to shoot some sort of giant insect. Took... a lot longer than I thought. I'm working on it, though!
|
|
| 821
|
00589726
|
He's always seemed a bit odd, honestly. Even back before I launched. We used to be friends in college, but... people change so much in college.
|
Acknowledging the player's instinct
|
| 822
|
0059FAFC
|
Yes. A protectron has been circling the camp. It hasn't approached yet though, so I'm going to monitor it for data, and then we can go after it.
|
She isn't sure why it's doing this.
|
| 823
|
I think it's collecting data about us, so I'm waiting to see who it's sending the data to, if I can...
|
Almost whispering, unsure if the robot can hear them.
|
| 824
|
0059FAFF
|
Strange. I haven't really considered it much. I just... can't imagine anything beyond these headaches right now, and finding out what they did...
|
Frustrated.
|
| 825
|
But... I guess, well. I hope whatever happens, we're still together. We make a good team, friend.
|
A little flirty but not too heavily.
|
| 826
|
0059F97A
|
005620F9
|
Truthfully? It was a blur. We were sent up as a team and were in our deep sleep pods in under an hour after achieving a stable orbit.
|
|
| 827
|
But that single hour... It was exhilarating.
|
|
| 828
|
00564484
|
Oh, sure. Let's see. I don't really want to talk about my family because, well, I don't even know if they... *sighs*
|
|
| 829
|
Ok, so... hobbies. I had a small apartment near the U.S.S.A. headquarters. Nothing special. I wasn't home much, you see.
|
|
| 830
|
When I had time, I used to go to the comic book shop down the road and sit and drink coffee and read the latest issues of the Unstoppables.
|
|
| 831
|
I used to want to work for the Mistress of Mystery when I was a kid, you see.
|
|
| 832
|
But I did the next best thing, I guess, and went to space.
|
|
| 833
|
0056F6B8
|
I mean, who doesn't, right?
|
|
| 834
|
You don't happen to have any, do you? Now that would be a warm blanket on a cold night right about now.
|
|
| 835
|
0056F6B9
|
It's been soothing to play games again -- a few moments of normalcy once more. I think it even helps my headache a bit.
|
|
| 836
|
0059FA77
|
No, I think I know what I need to know about you... and I'm impressed. You're tough... resilient. And I respect that.
|
She is genuinely impressed.
|
| 837
|
0059FA78
|
No, you've answered my question well. We're on the same wavelength, and I think that's going to carry us far as a team. I'm relieved, honestly.
|
Grateful, relieved, happy to find someone like her.
|
| 838
|
0059FA79
|
Nope, I know everything I need to know. You're a natural leader, and I can absolutely work with that.
|
She's impressed with the player's charisma.
|
| 839
|
0059FA7A
|
Not really. I don't really believe in luck that much, but... I am truly intrigued.
|
Fascinated by the player's luck.
|
| 840
|
0059FA7B
|
No, friend. Not really. This world is chaotic and strange, but together we can survive. That's my hope anyway.
|
She feels pretty confident about this.
|
| 841
|
0059FA7D
|
This world is so peculiar, so dangerous... and I just am amazed at the fact that life continues. You know?
|
Truly impressed that anyone is still alive. Leads into the next scene question, "So... how did you survive?" File 0056F6F3 1
|
| 842
|
0059FA80
|
They come and go in spikes. It's really pronounced at times. Haven't had one in a while... I wonder if there's a pattern to them.
|
Thinking about it, concerned.
|
| 843
|
0059FA82
|
You know... I did. What does that mean, I wonder? It was a sudden spike right behind the eyes.
|
They are linked, but she doesn't know how.
|
| 844
|
0059F97C
|
0056F689
|
When they strapped me into the capsule, I knew anything might happen.
|
|
| 845
|
Could crash into a million pieces. Could fling us off course and off into who knows where. I even joked to myself about seeing aliens...
|
|
| 846
|
I never -- ever -- thought that we might be the last people to see Earth from up there, though.
|
|
| 847
|
0056F69C
|
I hope we can return someday... there's so much that we need to do to get us back in that position though.
|
|
| 848
|
Oh -- wait. I was supposed to say something like... "No, I've got all I need right here." Right? *laughs*
|
She says the quoted part in a sweet, but slightly sarcastic way.
|
| 849
|
Well, both of those things are true.
|
|
| 850
|
0059F97E
|
0056F694
|
Just whalesong, repeating... so pleasant. Headaches sort of melted away...
|
|
| 851
|
0056F696
|
Dr. Bernard was one of the scientists that I worked with in the U.S.S.A., he was an engineer. Mostly mechanical.
|
Thinking back
|
| 852
|
I knew he had developed the sleeping pods for this mission, so that wasn't particularly new information for me. But...
|
With a giant "BUT..." at the end
|
| 853
|
It looks like there's something about the sleeping pod establishing a sensory link between the user and... something else. I don't know what that is.
|
Confused, annoyed
|
| 854
|
And also... Emerson was the supervisor for this project. So he absolutely does know what this was about. In detail.
|
Annoyed.
|
| 855
|
00589724
|
He has to be hiding something. I need to know what happened... I need to know what he knows.
|
Annoyed the player suggested it.
|
| 856
|
00589725
|
No, nothing. Looks like it was going on for... years. How? How could this have happened without me knowing anything?
|
Angry
|
| 857
|
The year or two prior to going on the mission we just tried to relax. They gave us meditation tapes so we could get adjusted to the silence of space.
|
She's thinking back...
|
| 858
|
Some people had white noise, others had thunderstorm sounds... I listened to whale songs...
|
She sighs
|
| 859
|
Clearly whale songs were more effective than I thought.
|
It was brain washing her
|
| 860
|
0059FA55
|
Sort of. Right before you killed it, the robot sent out some signals to specific targets. I think it pinged my console, too.
|
She seems frustrated because she isn't sure WHY this happened, she only knows what happened.
|
| 861
|
It was hard to tell if anything changed though. My headache was back in full force so I had to lie down... I could barely see.
|
She feels awful for missing the crucial data due to her headache.
|
| 862
|
I expect that another U.S.S.A. Robot will be activated and sent after us soon, so maybe we can try again.
|
Defiant because there's another chance that they can take, but she also wishes she had more data now, so a little embarrassed perhaps.
|
| 863
|
0059F980
|
0056014F
|
They're... strange. For a while, I felt like they were non-stop, but I think it's actually a sharp ping followed by a moderate dull ache.
|
Thinking
|
| 864
|
In a way... the cycle of pain is sort of fascinating. I wonder if my brain is thawing?
|
Pondering
|
| 865
|
I don't think that was how it worked, but... I'm not a medical doctor. Dr. Bernard would have known, he built the sleeping pod.
|
Pondering
|
| 866
|
00572CA8
|
Sure... maybe that will help with the pain. Dr. Bernard was our engineer, worked exclusively on the Sleeping Pods. Very by-the-books type guy.
|
|
| 867
|
Specialist Nowak had been on a few missions before this one. Always seemed distracted. But, well, it was a stressful mission.
|
Pronounced Novock
|
| 868
|
Dr. Lee was our ship's engineer and a robotics expert. We all went out to celebrate the night before lift off.
|
|
| 869
|
It feels like it was only yester... day.
|
She trails off in the middle of the word "yesterday" because she realizes it was actually decades ago.
|
| 870
|
I guess it doesn't matter if it feels like it was only yesterday. It was a long time ago, and... they're gone.
|
|
| 871
|
00572CBD
|
Agreed. It seems like some sort of experimental bio-medical formula. It might be worth checking records about Arktos. Maybe they knew something?
|
|
| 872
|
00572CCA
|
I technically had some training with firearms before, part of the military boot camp prior to becoming an astronaut.
|
|
| 873
|
It's not much, but... maybe I'll brush off those skills and start practicing. Just in case.
|
|
| 874
|
0059F9FF
|
That is not how it was presented to us. It was supposed to maintain our ambient health levels and that's it. Nothing else.
|
Frustrated
|
| 875
|
The schematics say the pod was designed to help transfer sensory data. To what end?
|
She needs to know why she was experimented on.
|
| 876
|
0059F982
|
0056D395
|
It is, it really is. I know I've said it before, but thanks for letting me uh... crash here. *laughs*
|
She made a bad joke / pun because she crashed her spaceship near the player and they let her stay with them.
|
| 877
|
0056F6A5
|
Okay. I'm from Chicago, parents moved there when I was little...
|
|
| 878
|
After college, I went to the D.C. area and applied for the astronaut program a couple times until I was accepted. My folks were so proud...
|
|
| 879
|
Hmm... other than that... I had a few relationships. Nothing serious.
|
|
| 880
|
Had a pet turtle for most of my life. That *was* pretty serious.
|
|
| 881
|
I dunno. That's the high level overview anyway. I'm not a weirdo, if that was what you were asking.
|
|
| 882
|
00572CBB
|
Call me Sofia... please. After all we've been through. After all, I'm in your... ship now. That makes you the Commander here.
|
Affectionate turns into a little flirty
|
| 883
|
00572CC2
|
We really do. In this world, it's hard to imagine how anybody can survive all alone anymore.
|
She thinks about how different it could have been. Being alone would be sad.
|
| 884
|
I'm glad I don't have to be alone.
|
It could be bad if she was alone, she realizes
|
| 885
|
And I'm very glad that I'm here with you.
|
Sweetly
|
| 886
|
0059FAED
|
Well, right now I think we need to track down some medical records. Then maybe we can...
|
Trails off at the end
|
| 887
|
Oh! Oh... hmm. I'll keep that in mind, friend. Uh. *clears throat*
|
Sheepish, taken entirely off guard.
|
| 888
|
0059F984
|
00572CA6
|
It should give us, well, access to the A.T.H.E.N.A. unit which will allow us to use the Arache program and delete the connection entirely.

Explaining

In theory, I'll be free. No more headaches. Free.
|
Scared but also glad.

|
It has to be a prototype for something bigger. That's all I can figure. I'm going to need additional samples to know more though, I think.
|
Angry
|
| 891
|
00572CBC
|
I hear you. I thought they were coming after me, but I'm not sure. Maybe they have other motives, too. Safer to just deal with them, though.
|
Fixed typo in "Safer"
|
| 892

|
It was a board meeting between the U.S.S.A. and some corporations. They were talking with my crew after I was inside the Sleeping Pod.
|
Explaining
|
| 893
|
I was asleep in the pod when this was recorded... and, well, it sounded like they were all in on the experiment and I was the subject.
|
Angry
|
| 894
|
They were, however, forced to partake in the same experiment against their wills. It doesn't bring me joy to hear it... but they did deserve it.
|
Mad
|
| 895
|
They were connecting me to some external A.T.H.E.N.A. unit. And Emerson was there. So he knew everything this whole time. Because he did it all.
|
Angry
|
| 896
|
00589723
|
The Serum is partially synthetic, and... the injector won't even really work with human blood vessels.
|
Pondering.
|
| 897
|
It was produced a year or two after I went to space, interestingly enough.
|
Thinking about it
|
| 898
|
I think the one that you retrieved wasn't made for human usage at all. I... think it was made for a Robobrain.
|
Pondering
|
| 899
|
I found one U.S.S.A. Robobrain that might have been subjected to it. And... that's where I'm at with the research here.
|
Where she's at in terms of the research
|
| 900
|
0059F986
|
00572CB7
|
Oh, interesting... "Blue Sunset" permits data access and "Red Sunset" makes these U.S.S.A. Robots hostile... maybe we can use that.
|
|
| 901
|
00572CB8
|
I shot three flying insects while you were dealing with the U.S.S.A. Robot, and I didn't miss a single time.
|
Proud
|
| 902
|
Then I traded their parts to Grahm when he passed by... and well. Here. You can have this stuff, I don't need it.
|
Proud. Giving the player something. Grahm is pronounced GROM.
|
| 903
|
0059FA71
|
I thought maybe it was a corrupt command sent out to a source console somewhere. It was just "Red Sunset" and that's it.
|
Giving information very matter of factly.
|
| 904
|
0059FA74
|
Oh! Oh gosh. There was a whole story arc like this! She used the Phantom device to sneak into the Mechanist's lair with the Shroud at her side!
|
She is thrown back into a memory.
|
| 905
|
The other Unstoppables were captured one by one... it was so dramatic over several issues! Fans thought it was over. It seemed so dire...
|
Memories...
|
| 906
|
But together, they stopped an entire robot army from taking control of unsuspecting citizens and they rescued the other Unstoppables.
|
Recapping a story arc that she loved.
|
| 907
|
Thank you for the reminder... that was encouraging! Inspiring! Not sure if I have those issues, but take these. They should give you courage, too!
|
She is feeling brave again!
|
| 908
|
0059F988
|
00572CB6
|
We can do this -- together. I trust you, my friend, my... Commander to Commander.
|
She got the feels. Said affectionately then it becomes a little reals.
|
| 909
|
00572CC8
|
Really? I was worried for a bit that you might be unenthused about taking care of some random stray.
|
Amused that the player is flirty.
|
| 910
|
Even though my options were clearly heavily limited by the uh... entire world situation... the only decent thing so far has been meeting you.
|
Flirting back, not that strongly
|
| 911
|
005740F0
|
After everything that happened, you were always there for me. Always.
|
|
| 912
|
I'll always feel safe here -- with you.
|
|
| 913
|
00589701
|
I know I can depend on you, and that you care about me... and that means a lot to me. And I care about you too.
|
It could be more if the players wants to go there.
|
| 914
|
Er, I mean... we're a great team together! We're hunting down my tortured past, righting the wrongs and trying to build a better tomorrow, together!
|
She got too close to being squishy romantic and decided to pull back a bit so not to pressure the player.
|
| 915
|
But seriously, I sort of think we should start our own team when all this is said and done. Rebuild Appalachia by righting all the wrongs! Together!
|
Excited, still recovering from a close call with the Feels
|
| 916
|
00589702
|
We've been through so much already. I hope you know that I care about you a lot, right? I feel like you care about me, too.
|
She is saying that they're very close and it could become something more than this, if the player wants to take it there.
|
| 917
|
And if that care becomes something more -- if you want it to -- then I would want to explore that too.
|
Emphasis on "if you want it to"
|
| 918
|
But as long as you and I are together, doing what's best for each other and for the world... well, that's what matters to me the most, my friend.
|
My dear, kind, wonderful friend.
|
| 919
|
0058971A
|
You know, I'm not very eager to plan a new long term mission quite yet. Let's just take it one day at a time. Okay?
|
Reasonable approach
|
| 920
|
0059FA4B
|
I don't know what my future holds, but... I hope you're there, and I hope we're together.
|
Sincere, very loving, flirty.
|
| 921
|
0059FA4D
|
Oh! Be still, my beating heart! That sounds like a dream come true, my dear friend. But also, you don't stand a *chance*!
|
Excited that the player is offering. Maybe some joyful giggles at the end. She's being playful.
|
| 922
|
0059FA4E
|
If we're dressing up, I presume? Hm. I like it. Well, of course... you're the Inspector. I think that's obvious. I've seen how your mind works.
|
Said because the player has high Int or Perception. This line is very similar to a few others, with some changes.
|
| 923
|
0059FA4F
|
Did you really think you weren't some form of Grognak? I mean... you're kind of a monster. A... *very* likeable monster, mind you.
|
Said because the player has high Strength, Endurance, or Agility. This line is very similar to a few others, with some changes. Emphasis on the Very.
|
| 924
|
0059FA50
|
With your charming demeanor, could you be anything other than my dear Shroud? But... you already knew that, didn't you?
|
Said because the player has high Charisma. This line is very similar to a few others, with some changes. Sultry.
|
| 925
|
0059FA51
|
You're a conundrum, my friend. I thought about the Manta Man, but... there's something peculiar about you. Something delightfully unpredictable.
|
Said because the player has high Luck. This line is very similar to a few others, with some changes.
|
| 926
|
0059FA52
|
Thank you, my dear, kind friend. I've come to think of your place as my home. And I've come to think of you as... more than a friend, too.
|
Flirty, nervous, sincere.
|
| 927
|
0059F98A
|
0056F6BF
|
It took a lot of guts to do what you did. But you saved two lives, you know that? You're a hero.
|
|
| 928
|
00572CAD
|
They're slowly diminishing. I think... in time, they will be gone entirely. It's mostly manageable now, though.
|
|
| 929
|
For the record, it was worth it.
|
|
| 930
|
00572CAE
|
Headaches are present but diminishing regularly. No more sharp spikes of pain, just a dull brain ache really.
|
|
| 931
|
00572CAF
|
Well, I get to spend it at this fancy campsite with a great person. So I'd say, you know, pretty good all things considered.
|
|
| 932
|
00572CB0
|
I suppose it's in A.T.H.E.N.A. now. Maybe that makes me part of her, in some way?
|
|
| 933
|
00572CB1
|
I hope she is wandering around, experiencing anything she wants. She deserves the freedom.
|
|
| 934
|
00572CB2
|
Until the end, I thought I was just going to die or become some sort of brainless host to a crazed robot. You're my lucky rabbit's foot, you know.
|
|
| 935
|
0059F98C
|
00589706
|
I do like seeing the variety of life in Appalachia. It's so odd, so strange. Sometimes I think I should have been a botanist or a biologist.
|
Musing about the location
|
| 936
|
I've adjusted the scanner so it should be able to continue to pick up good signals around here, at least.
|
Technical business
|
| 937
|
00589707
|
Before going to space? Sure. Of course. I mean... it wasn't so long ago to me, you know?
|
Wondering
|
| 938
|
But I'm trying to remind myself actively that it's over. It's like walking through a door and closing it behind me.
|
She's come to peace with this
|
| 939
|
Almost everybody I knew is behind that door, and it's just... right there. So close I can hear them. But the door is locked, and the key is gone.
|
Trying to explain the separation
|
| 940
|
00589709
|
I don't think I'll think about him anymore. I need to purge all of that from my mind, honestly.
|
Emerson betrayed her.
|
| 941
|
He was a problematic person even back then, and... I knew that. That's why we were only friends. I could tell something was off about him.
|
Hindsight
|
| 942
|
But... it's been decades. I can tell he's different now, of course... but I don't think I can care about him anymore.
|
Shrug.
|
| 943
|
0058970A
|
She stops by from time to time, and is different every time. More and more enthralled with the world.
|
ATHENA is the Assaultron AI
|
| 944
|
I'm not sure exactly what her future holds, but she seems incredibly happy to listen to birds or collect junk... I don't know. She seems happy.
|
Sofia is happy for her
|
| 945
|
0058970B
|
She was in pain, friend. I thought my headaches were bad, but... her existence was torture. You did what she asked.
|
Player deleted the ATHENA unit, killing her.
|
| 946
|
That was a mercy, and... it takes a lot of compassion to grant such a thing in this world, I think.
|
She's impressed the player could do it.
|
| 947
|
0058970C
|
He stops by from time to time to check on me. I'll allow it... only because I know he's learned from all of this.
|
Player deleted the ATHENA unit, killing her, Emerson continues to visit.
|
| 948
|
Things will never be okay between us. We'll never chat like we used to. Those days are gone. But I'll let him visit. That's all.
|
Shrugs. He is what he is.
|
| 949
|
0059F98E
|
005740E8
|
You kept your promise.
|
|
| 950
|
005740E9
|
Everything is so much clearer now. So calm.
|
|
| 951
|
005740EA
|
Believe me, my brain thanks you immensely. I haven't felt this... normal... for, well, decades? *laughs*
|
|
| 952
|
005740EB
|
And you kept your word.
|
|
| 953
|
005740EC
|
I know you made the right call. I know you thought through all of the potential outcomes. I trust your judgment here entirely.
|
|
| 954
|
005740ED
|
But I knew I could have, and I knew you'd have my back.
|
|
| 955
|
005740EE
|
Same thing we do every other day, my friend. We try to destroy the systems of oppression that somehow survived the end of the world.
|
|
| 956
|
And... we make sure to keep an eye out for the best equipment so we can do it better, and in style.
|
|
| 957
|
0059F990
|
0056448B
|
Listen, I know you've done a lot for me already. Got me out of that sunken bunker and let me stay here. It means a lot.
|
Grateful, tired but grateful. She knows it could have been worse.
|
| 958
|
0056F680
|
Listen, this could be a trap... or it could be just a big misunderstanding. I can't really say for sure. Just be careful.
|
Warning.
|
| 959
|
00571F41
|
Remember, when you pick up the beacon, whatever you do -- do not press any red buttons, do not ingest it, and do not sell it to communists.
|
jokingly, just covering her bases.
|
| 960
|
0057266E
|
It's possible that you won't find anything there. It might just be rubble or... maybe it's been scavenged by animals. It's hard to know.
|
She expects the player to find nothing. She's kind of hoping they won't find anything.
|
| 961
|
In the meantime, I picked up an Unstoppables comic book from a visiting trader the other day. Maybe it will help me relax...
|
She isn't sure if it will help, but she needs to get some rest.
|
| 962
|
0059F993
|
005726B4
|
Some government and military holotapes are easier to pinpoint than others, depending on whether they're in a tracked depot.
|
|
| 963
|
These bureaucratic depots are the trickest to pin down.
|
|
| 964
|
It's probably in a bin full of unrelated government documents, holotapes, and other junk.
|
|
| 965
|
Hopefully it's still intact and readable. All I can determine is that it exists.
|
|
| 966
|
0059F995
|
0058EA12
|
You need to be careful. We know it's expecting you now. We also know that it knows we're bringing Arachne with us...
|
Trails off a bit.
|
| 967
|
Look, I'm not kidding around here. We know this is a trap. We know this is planned, and we know *it* knows *we* know. Right? I know!
|
Tongue twisted at the end. A bit joking at the end.
|
| 968
|
Do what you can to make my headaches stop, but also... I need to be free, I need to be extricated from this so I can leave all this behind me.
|
She's not thrilled about this.
|
| 969
|
We just need to go in about this with that knowledge as our shield. I need you to help me, because... I may be compromised here.
|
She's pleading with you to help, in the most dignified way possible.
|
| 970
|
0059F997
|
00591305
|
You need to be careful. We know it's expecting you now. We also know that it knows we're bringing Arachne with us...
|
Trails off a bit.
|
| 971
|
Look, I'm not kidding around here. We know this is a trap. We know this is planned, and we know *it* knows *we* know. Right? I know!
|
Tongue twisted at the end. A bit joking at the end.
|
| 972
|
We just need to go in about this with that knowledge as our shield. I need you to help me, because... I may be compromised here.
|
She's not thrilled about this.
|
| 973
|
Do what you can to make my headaches stop, but also... I need to be free, I need to be extricated from this so I can leave all this behind me.
|
She's pleading with you to help, in the most dignified way possible.
|
| 974
|
0059F99A
|
00572BD6
|
Already sent. While you're out, I'm going to track down that Robobrain that Emerson mentioned...
|
Thinking about it. She wonders if it is really a huge threat.
|
| 975
|
00585354
|
If you want to listen to the holotape, go ahead. It's not like anyone can do anything about it, you know.
|
What can they do... sue you?
|
| 976
|
00585355
|
Everything I knew is turning upside down. Everything... except for you. You're the only person I can still trust.
|
Grateful to the player for being there.
|
| 977
|
00585356
|
This is it. After this... when you get back... we have to prepare to confront this thing. Please be careful. Please.
|
Very concerned about the player.
|
| 978
|
00585413
|
You're my best friend, you know that, right? My only friend really. Aside from Grahm and Chally, I suppose...
|
Grom and Cha-lee (like Charlie without the R)
|
| 979
|
I love chatting with all my friends when I have the time, of course... but I'll say that your chats are less uh, meaty. I suppose. In a good way.
|
Compared to a smart Super Mutant anyway. Joking because Grahm talks about meat a lot.
|
| 980
|
00585414
|
Sure. A normal conversation would suit me just fine right now.
|
She knows the player well by this point, and everything else in life is rough, but... she wants to be less stressed.
|
| 981
|
00585415
|
I knew you'd want to chat. You just had that look on your face.
|
She knows the player well by this point. This is said with kindness.
|
| 982
|
00585416
|
I'm always happy with chat with you when we have the time.
|
She's good friends with the player at this point, potentially romantic
|
| 983
|
I know this holotape isn't going anywhere, so we do have some time to relax for a moment...
|
Grateful to spend some time with the player after all this time.
|
| 984
|
0058541A
|
Of course. We should chat more, you know? Makes this dreary world a little less so when you've got a friend to commiserate with.
|
Friendly, she likes the player and wishes they'd talk more.
|
| 985
|
0058541B
|
It feels like forever since we had a regular chat like two normal people in the irradiated remnants of the great wide world.
|
Trying to be funny, kinda?
|
| 986
|
00585436
|
Be careful. We know this thing is probably deranged.
|
Matter-of-fact.
|
| 987
|
0059F99B
|
0056F6B1
|
Roger that, my friend. Finish that thing up and then we can work on this together.
|
Understanding, sympathetic.
|
| 988
|
00572694
|
No problem. I'll be around, waiting for your return like a lost puppy. I mean... an irradiated puppy? Oh, that doesn't sound very good actually...
|
said jokingly, this is a goodbye.
|
| 989
|
00572695
|
Things are getting tense, and I understand that. I need you to hang in here with me though... okay? Finish things up first. I'll be here.
|
Affectionately, understanding, sympathetic
|
| 990
|
00572696
|
You're not getting cold feet here, are you? I hope not, my friend. We are so close... I can feel it.
|
A little antagonistic but still overall friendly. Trying to push the boundary to see if the player is backing out.
|
| 991
|
00572697
|
We can hold off on this a bit but... please come back when you can. I need to see this through, and I need your help.
|
Guilt trip, but just a little.
|
| 992
|
0058540C
|
Sure, not a problem. I picked up some magazines from a trader who stopped by recently. I should be relaxing more...
|
She's not sure if she can.
|
| 993
|
005896FD
|
Aside from the mounting stress of everything else... you and I are solid. I love our friendship and I know I can trust you.
|
Player has flirted and is great friends with Sofia. Sofia is signalling that once things are okay, she's ready for more.
|
| 994
|
And don't think I haven't noticed your sly advances, my friend... I promise. Once we're done with figuring out... all of this... I want to hear more.
|
She sort of gestures around when talking about "all of this" in order to mean the missions, etc.
|
| 995
|
But I should ask first... what do you think about us?
|
Warm question, she wants to know
|
| 996
|
0059F99D
|
0056BF58
|
Copy that. I need a break as well. I'm in the middle of a very intense issue of Grognak, and... I am just enthralled.
|
She's tired, she's been through a lot.
|
| 997
|
0056C867
|
Of course. I trust that you'll come back. I'm still working on getting this console to play holotape games anyway.
|
She trusts the player will return later
|
| 998
|
00585409
|
Roger. I'll be around here, I was thinking of just... relaxing for a change. I'm not sure if I remember how, though...
|
Kind of excited about the idea of just relaxing
|
| 999
|
0058540A
|
Roger that. I was planning on running some diagnostics on the scanner anyway, and maybe... just maybe... catching some shut-eye.
|
Unsure if the player is being diligent or pushing her off
|
| 1000
|
0059F99F
|
0055F85C
|
I heard of it before but... it was some other department, I thought. Dr. Nowak transferred to our department from theirs... I think.
|
Frustrated, she feels like she should have known.
|
| 1001
|
005733E2
|
Honestly, I'm not sure. Part of me just wants to see it, to see what they used. To know it was real, I guess.
|
Frustrated, conflicted. She isn't sure.
|
| 1002
|
0058542C
|
I know my old department and... they didn't record a lot. Not unless they had to. But... when they had to, it was a big deal.
|
It HAS to be important. They never documented anything.
|
| 1003
|
0058542D
|
He... sounded sincere. And if he really was worried anything I saw or heard was being intercepted...
|
Thinking
|
| 1004
|
I mean, it kind of holds together? Or it could be a lie? I just don't know.
|
|
| 1005
|
0058C8FB
|
Agreed. I followed Emerson's signal when he left, and he had quite a strange route. Acted like he was being followed. But I don't think he was...
|
Conspiracy like. Whispering almost.
|
| 1006
|
He went to a few locations, maybe collecting supplies? I'm not sure. One of them had some high security holotapes.
|
She's proud that she did this.
|
| 1007
|
I'll clean up the signal for you to track by the time you're back.
|
Nerdily, she is proud of this
|
| 1008
|
0059F9A1
|
0055F85A
|
Sounded like he had some demons in his past that he wanted to take care of. Probably has been putting it off for a while... that's my guess, anyway.
|
She shrugs. Maybe she's giving him the benefit of the doubt.
|
| 1009
|
0058C8F4
|
I bet they started on Robobrains because they could be more easily controlled. Right? I guess that didn't pan out.
|
Shrug. She doesn't know.
|
| 1010
|
I hope they didn't feel a lot of pain, it seemed like they weren't putting them into the Deep Sleeper Pods. Maybe that's why they became aggressive?
|
Sympathizing with them
|
| 1011
|
0058C8F5
|
Right there with you. I've set up the scanner to monitor him separately and give me updates. Right now he's near a bunch of random robots....
|
She agrees with the player, but is way ahead of them.
|
| 1012
|
I think he is also monitoring us, you see. So... we have to pretend like we don't care what he's doing.
|
She's way ahead of the player here.
|
| 1013
|
0058C8F6
|
Everyone I knew was manipulating me. Using me.
|
Angry, but holding it together
|
| 1014
|
I was their guinea pig... I need some time to process.
|
Anger, but she's a thinker - processing
|
| 1015
|
0059317B
|
Very little. Before all this all I ever overheard was the name. That's it.
|
|
| 1016
|
But she's been... spying? on me for years. And I hope it's just that.
|
|
| 1017
|
0059F9A3
|
0056F704
|
I'll be right here, then.
|
|
| 1018
|
Don't worry, you don't miss that much while you're out. Traders stop by from time to time... couple other random people, but it's pretty quiet.
|
She misses adventure, a bit. Trying to make this task seem exciting by comparison.
|
| 1019
|
00572687
|
Yes. I suspect it's a holotape, but... it is in an unusual place. As if it was moved here to hide it, maybe.
|
She knows she's being manipulated
|
| 1020
|
00572688
|
It's got to be connected to A.T.H.E.N.A. Both are from Greek mythology. Arachne was a weaver, and a brilliant one.
|
She geeks out at you. Greeks out? I gotta use that.
|
| 1021
|
She challenged the Goddess Athena somehow and... well, she was turned into a spider. You know, like Arachnids. Right?
|
Thinking about it, she wonders what this could mean
|
| 1022
|
Some versions of the story say she won, others say Athena won. I don't remember the details... and does it matter? I don't know, either.
|
Just musing... get it?
|
| 1023
|
I know it's a stretch, but it's the only connection I can think of.
|
Pleading
|
| 1024
|
00572689
|
I just want this nightmare to be over. Thank you.
|
Nervous energy
|
| 1025
|
0057268C
|
It's probably decades old and unusable by now, but... it might tell us something. I'm not a chemist though, but maybe... I don't know.
|
She isn't sure how valuable this will be
|
| 1026
|
0059F9A5
|
005733DE
|
That's a big question. I guess... I just want to know why so I can move on in this weird new world. Some closure, you know?
|
Frustrated
|
| 1027
|
Then I can start to figure this place out... I can start fresh. Then maybe I can help you out for a change.
|
She is grateful for all the player's help.
|
| 1028
|
005733DF
|
Yes... I'm not a doctor but it seems like they used the serum to reduce my brain's higher functions so something else could... I don't know what.
|
|
| 1029
|
I signed up for space, not abuse.
|
Angry, furrowed brows. She is livid about this. Emphasis on the NOT abuse part.
|
| 1030
|
005733E0
|
Maybe five or six times, I suppose. Every couple months for the two years prior to launch, anyway.
|
Trying to remember.
|
| 1031
|
00585431
|
Looks... similar, but might be a different type. The strange thing is, its mobility patterns are very similar:
|
Recalling the data from a few hours of monitoring it
|
| 1032
|
It was heading towards us, and then it turned around and went to this location and stayed there.
|
She thinks this is very weird.
|
| 1033
|
I think Emerson was right. It just seems like they have corrupt targeting data or something.
|
Speculating. Unsure. But seems reasonable.
|
| 1034
|
00585432
|
I... believe you. I don't know why exactly but... I feel like I knew it was more than just relaxing ocean sounds.
|
This confirms a dread she has felt before.
|
| 1035
|
0058EA11
|
I'm not sure. There's something strange about the whalesong holotape... since we used it with the Deep Sleeper Pods, I'm hoping there's a link.
|
She's anxious about something, she feels like there's more to this tape.
|
| 1036
|
0058EAE9
|
Emerson's Emergence Kit helped a bit, but the headaches are very persistent. I could almost keep time with the spikes of pain.
|
She's in some pain.
|
| 1037
|
0059F9A7
|
0058534C
|
Dr. Bernard designed it to help us sleep for long periods of time in space. It clearly worked... maybe too well.
|
Just giving information.
|
| 1038
|
0058C8E2
|
I mean... who would care now, right? Listen to it if you want. I can't guarantee it'll be interesting. I'm not sure what it is, exactly...
|
She is saying "who would care" because nobody exists in the world anymore who would arrest the player for doing so.
|
| 1039
|
But... if you are a communist or a sympathizer then it might trigger some sort of explosion or brain wave obstruction thing... I can't remember.
|
She seems serious here, but she is joking in the next line.
|
| 1040
|
They just used to tell us that to scare us, I think. I never tested it out, though...
|
Laughing. Then sort of wondering if it was true.
|
| 1041
|
0058C8EE
|
Not right now... not really. I'd rather just keep busy for a bit.
|
Reasoning it out. She just found out her crew is dead, and this is a way to keep busy.
|
| 1042
|
0058C8F0
|
I think that's a fine question for Emerson, honestly.
|
She doesn't know, but she also wants to know.
|
| 1043
|
0058C8F1
|
I can tell he feels guilty about something. I'm not sure if he's lying boldly or by omission though...
|
She used to know him, but it's been a while.
|
| 1044
|
0058C8F2
|
I think they're being intercepted. I think they get close and then something updates their algorithm and they leave...
|
She is pretty sure of this from looking at the signals on the scanner.
|
| 1045
|
But who is doing that, or why? I don't have enough data to make a hypothesis.
|
Shakes her head. She can't get that sort of data. That would be speculation. Nerdy.
|
| 1046
|
0059F9A9
|
00559B88
|
Back in my college days, we used to watch robots fight in the basement of the science building. We used to joke about how scary that could be.
|
Ironic right
|
| 1047
|
You know. If they ever came after us all. That kind of thing. Uh... yeah. Anyway... thanks.
|
It's not so funny now, is it. She gets awkward towards the end.
|
| 1048
|
0056F6FB
|
I'll monitor it from here and see if anything about its signal changes radically, I'm wondering if it shows signs of expecting this confrontation...
|
She is worried if this could be a trap?
|
| 1049
|
0056F702
|
While I was looking for the Deep Sleeper Pod documents a while ago, I found another location that might have stuff like old U.S.S.A. contracts.
|
She's annoyed by this situation
|
| 1050
|
0057268A
|
Something just isn't right here, and I'm sort of terrified to see these medical records...
|
Trailing off with worry
|
| 1051
|
I'm going to play that new Holotape game that you gave me for a bit, I think. Kill robots, save people. That kind of objective is just relaxing.
|
She cheers up by the thought of playing a game.
|
| 1052
|
00585423
|
Something just isn't right here, and I'm sort of terrified to see these medical records...
|
DUPLICATE OF VOICE FILENAME: 0057268A 1
|
| 1053
|
I need to relax for a bit. I got an issue of "Tesla Science" from a trader who stopped by recently, so I'll probably dive into that.
|
She cheers up by the thought of doing something else.
|
| 1054
|
00585424
|
It's got to be something significant. This could give me some closure here, finally... then I can move on like Emerson suggested.
|
She's being optimistic.
|
| 1055
|
00585425
|
It just seems strange that this holotape is considered high security, and I want to know if that's real.
|
She's worried it's sort of a waste of time, but it could potentially be something big too. She's on the fence about it.
|
| 1056
|
Since it was used exclusively with the Deep Sleeper Pods, I feel like that has to be the best lead for us right now.
|
She's almost peaceful and hopeful about it.
|
| 1057
|
00585426
|
Something just seems unsettling about the whole thing. I'll start to investigate other signals, too.
|
She's worried it's sort of a waste of time, but it could potentially be something big too. She's on the fence about it.
|
| 1058
|
I wish that Whalesong holotape wasn't... whatever it is. It would be soothing right about now to listen to that.
|
She isn't even sure if she believes you, but she kind of does.
|
| 1059
|
0059F9AB
|
0058C90A
|
Locating a medical cache that has that serum wasn't actually as hard as I thought it might be... hopefully it will be a milk run to pick up, too.
|
She pauses at the end. Does the player know what a milk run is? It's the apocalypse.
|
| 1060
|
I suddenly realized that the expression "milk run" might not have much of a meaning in this apocalyptic world, since everything is dangerous now. Huh.
|
She's making a realization.
|
| 1061
|
0058C90B
|
It was rather easy to pinpoint it once I realized I had to recomputer the signals for things that had some organic parts...
|
Nerd alert
|
| 1062
|
0058C90C
|
There's a signal coming from some sort of object... Something called Arachne. It's got to be related.
|
Following a hunch, leaning on the player
|
| 1063
|
0058C90D
|
From the signature of the signal here, it seems to be a classified meeting between top officials regarding the Deep Sleep Project.
|
Tempting the player with info
|
| 1064
|
Can you stop by and pick it up? I figure... it might give us some more leads or a name, or anything.
|
Asking the player to pick it up.
|
| 1065
|
0058C90E
|
We need a U.S.S.A. Access card. I have the Sugar Grove personnel records. My hope is you can find an access card... here.
|
Frustrated that she's a hinderance.
|
| 1066
|
0059F9AC
|
00585347
|
Part of me wonders if Emerson told us about this Robobrain so he would have more time to do... whatever he's up to.
|
How did he know?
|
| 1067
|
00585348
|
But... One thing at a time... The key seems to be A.T.H.E.N.A.
|
She's gathering herself, working through the emotion
|
| 1068
|
Wait. One of the signatures I've been tracking... Arachne... That can't be a coincidence.
|
An "a-ha" moment, thinking furiously
|
| 1069
|
00585349
|
Are you with me on this, my friend? Can I count on you?
|
She asks the player if they will continue to help her.
|
| 1070
|
0058C8E6
|
A lot of these signals are high security signals, things related to the Deep Sleep Projects... other projects too, ones I don't know much about.
|
Hinting at a future revelation.
|
| 1071
|
0059317C
|
And once A.T.H.E.N.A.'s dealt with... Maybe I'll finally feel whole.
|
Hopeful, worried
|
| 1072
|
0059F9AE
|
00560148
|
This is going to take a while to adjust to... *sighs*
|
|
| 1073
|
00572CC4
|
I just... I had hoped things would be different. We weren't great friends, or anything, but... we worked together for years.
|
|
| 1074
|
They were very kind, always there for me. Emerson as well. I was so lucky to be a part of that mission... or so I thought, anyway.
|
|
| 1075
|
005740F1
|
You, of course.
|
|
| 1076
|
*laughs* Sorry, I had to say it.
|
But she means it though.
|
| 1077
|
But seriously though.
|
She dead serious.
|
| 1078
|
0058533F
|
You're very kind to let me stay here with you, and I appreciate that. I don't feel like I know you very well yet, but no yellow flags yet.
|
Oblivious to anything more than this. In other words, "There's nothing between us."
|
| 1079
|
005896FF
|
I wouldn't say we're ready to try out for the Unstoppables quite yet, but... I could see it happening someday.
|
We're friends, but... not like, great friends. But it could go in that direction.
|
| 1080
|
00589700
|
If you hadn't found me after the crash, I would have probably either ended up like the rest of the crew... or Emerson would have taken me in.
|
Pondering alternate paths. We're good friends.
|
| 1081
|
I'm not sure how that would have gone, really... but I like to think I lucked out immensely here.
|
We're good friends.
|
| 1082
|
0059F9B0
|
0056D396
|
What? Oh. Hah! I guess you could...
|
|
| 1083
|
But if you do, I'll have to make a joke about granting your other two wishes, I guess.
|
|
| 1084
|
0059F9B4
|
00589708
|
I absolutely love everything about this! Thank you so much, I... I feel like an actual super hero. I feel like I need a name...
|
Extremely excited. The player has given her a costume.
|
| 1085
|
Commander Cosmos?! Oh, buddy... that could work. I feel like I need a space pet now, though.
|
Laughing
|
| 1086
|
0059F9B6
|
0056F6A0
|
Sure, I suppose. But it needs to be a trade. I get to ask you a question too, deal?
|
|
| 1087
|
0056F6BB
|
Oh... huh. I never would have noticed. That could have caused some annoying feedback. Nice spot, thanks!
|
|
| 1088
|
00572CB3
|
I trust you. Completely.
|
What she really means is... "I love you."
|
| 1089
|
00572CB4
|
That makes some sense. He knew about them... and he told me how to find them. The first one I encountered wasn't hostile towards me, either...
|
|
| 1090
|
00572CB9
|
*laughs* I'm not sure how to take that. But... you're right. I had a pet turtle. I wonder if she's still alive. I guess there's a chance, right?
|
|
| 1091
|
005896F4
|
You know you can call me Sofia by now, right? I should hope so, anyway. I'd like to consider us close enough for that.
|
We're friends, but... not like, great friends. But it could go in that direction.
|
| 1092
|
0059F9B8
|
00564496
|
So, the best way to survive is to use your environment to your advantage. Makes perfect sense.
|
Not judging the character, definitely impressed and trying to learn.
|
| 1093
|
I bet down the road I can figure out a way to find more useful things for you. Scrap, weapons, armor... I can contribute to our survival that way.
|
Not judging the character, definitely impressed and trying to learn.
|
| 1094
|
00564499
|
Now you're speaking my language here. Observe, theorize, weigh the risks... learn from failures, adapt... I get it. I absolutely get it.
|
She's really excited about this answer.
|
| 1095
|
When I figure out what's happening with the U.S.S.A., I can modify my scanner to continue finding historically significant things, resources...
|
She's excited ot know that the player is a nerd.
|
| 1096
|
Things that will expand our knowledge of this world. You know? I'm suddenly more optimistic about this strange new world of ours.
|
Genuinely excited to be exploring the world with another nerd.
|
| 1097
|
0056449F
|
I can respect that. Calculate the risks then pass on anything that isn't reasonable. Safe and sound. It just makes sense.
|
She appreciates this mindset.
|
| 1098
|
Later on, I'll modify my scanner to pick up on caches of armor and other helpful resources, tools, first aid, etc... not without risk, but worth it.
|
Offering a glimpse of what she can do int he future for the player.
|
| 1099
|
0059F9BA
|
0056449B
|
Just pure chance? Statistically possible, but... maybe there's more to it than you realize. I'm fascinated, regardless.
|
She wants to study the player.
|
| 1100
|
0056449E
|
Maybe it has and you're just doing better than you thought.
|
Trying to boost the player's confidence a bit.
|
| 1101
|
When things cool down a bit for us, I'm going to reprogram the scanner to pick up a variety of signals. We'll see what you're good at, friend.
|
Cheering the player up a bit
|
| 1102
|
0059F9BC
|
00564498
|
You know... that makes sense. In a world with so much death, the best way to live is to cling to other life. I get it.
|
She's impressed with the player's resourcefulness.
|
| 1103
|
I know that I would have been lost without you, so that makes sense... and it's a relief, too. Society will continue. The world will continue.
|
Hopeful
|
| 1104
|
When we have some down time, I'm going to rework this console to find supplies, help people... I think we can do some good for the world. Together.
|
She's hopeful for the future.
|
| 1105
|
0056449C
|
Makes sense. You can't rebuild society without the people, and if everyone is just out for themselves then what's the point?
|
Thinking about what the player said.
|
| 1106
|
When everything is said and done, I've got some ideas for rebuilding society... gathering resources, helping people. We can do it.
|
She's thinking about the future here. Hopeful.
|
| 1107
|
0059F9BE
|
0056449D
|
Random chance, huh? It is what it is, I suppose. Takes the pressure off, I guess. It's a relief, isn't it? Out of your control. Just live.
|
She's not judging, but is a bit relieved.
|
| 1108
|
0059F9C0
|
005896FA
|
I just crashed from space, the world that I know is gone, I have horrible headaches and... well... now there's someone flirting with me. I dunno.
|
Trying to be kind about it. She just crashed! Come on!
|
| 1109
|
You're nice and all, but... slow your rockets. Just... for a bit, okay?
|
Asking nicely
|
| 1110
|
0059FA0A
|
I can respect that. Every day seems like a fight... but you're learning something new about yourself, right? I'm glad I can be a part of that.
|
Confidence building for the player
|
| 1111
|
I hope when everything settles down, I can reprogram this scanner to be helpful for you. Find more things to help you survive. We'll see.
|
Explaining what her purpose will be in the future.
|
| 1112
|
0059F9C6
|
00572CAC
|
Well, not all of them, perhaps...
|
|
| 1113
|
Sure, I teamed up with someone to save my own life, unravel the mysteries of an evil experiment, and free a trapped robotic personality...
|
|
| 1114
|
But there's still one thing on my list that's unchecked right now.
|
|
| 1115
|
005740EF
|
No -- we did it. Together. We're a team.
|
|
| 1116
|
I don't believe in fate, it's just cheesy.
|
|
| 1117
|
But... I think about how we ended up together, and it boggles the mind. I mean... I could have died in space, in my pod.
|
|
| 1118
|
I could have died on impact in the crash, like my crew.
|
|
| 1119
|
I could have been shredded by mutants, or drowned in that old bunker. I could have died from the headaches alone.
|
|
| 1120
|
But instead of any of those potentially more likely scenarios, I was found by somebody. Somebody decent and kind.
|
|
| 1121
|
Someone who cares.
|
|
| 1122
|
0058971B
|
Waking up with each other, and exploring this world together. Wasn't that the dream all along?
|
Lovingly
|
| 1123
|
Oh, and maybe also playing more holotape games together, starting up a new Unstoppables fan group, and maybe... just maybe...
|
Considering the options
|
| 1124
|
Rebuilding Appalachia, side by side. Or... that's my short list of goals anyway.
|
Said lovingly
|
| 1125
|
0058971C
|
Same thing we do every day, my love. Enjoy ourselves.
|
Lovingly
|
| 1126
|
0058971D
|
Explore Appalachia, build a new life for ourselves... forget about everything else that came before this. Just focus on us for a change.
|
Lovingly
|
| 1127
|
And, you know, maybe see if I can find every issue published by Hubris Comics, and maybe every holotape game ever... you know, on the side.
|
Excitedly
|
| 1128
|
0058971E
|
I think we can figure it out as we go. We'll make the best of it.
|
Confident
|
| 1129
|
0059FAF1
|
A million things could have happened to me after I went to space. I never expected falling in love to be one of them.
|
Loving
|
| 1130
|
0059FAF2
|
I love you too. Oh. Wait, you were going to say that, right? Well. Either way, it's offered unconditionally.
|
Said sincerely.
|
| 1131
|
0059F9C8
|
0056F68B
|
Dr. Lee commented that Earth just seemed so fragile out there -- so alone.
|
|
| 1132
|
I watched the clouds spinning over our sparkling home dangling in the vast emptiness of space.
|
|
| 1133
|
I thought... We are hardy little things, aren't we?
|
|
| 1134
|
0056F69A
|
Then... I don't know. I really don't. Emerson would know, but he won't help.
|
|
| 1135
|
I wish I knew what all this A.T.H.E.N.A. unit was collecting from my senses this whole time, but... I need this to end.
|
|
| 1136
|
This is just wrong and cruel. We have to end it.
|
|
| 1137
|
00589705
|
I don't know, but... I think that was the right thing to do. She was in pain this whole time also. I had no idea.
|
Seems like it anyway.
|
| 1138
|
0058971F
|
Yes... it's done. It's over. I wish we could have helped the A.T.H.E.N.A. unit. She was clearly in... distress. I just need to rest for a while.
|
Sad about athena
|
| 1139
|
0059FB26
|
0056F706
|
I don't know what I'd do without you. Seriously. I don't. My retirement plan is just ruined so this is pretty much it for me.
|
Joking
|
| 1140
|
00572681
|
You're the best. And not just because we're in an apocalyptic wilderness and my options are heavily limited. I actually mean it.
|
|
| 1141
|

Where would I be without you? Well. I'll tell you. I'd be dead in a waterlogged bunker covered with giant roaches. That's where. And thank you.

You always are. That's what I like about you. I know you'll always be back for me.

I'll be waiting with baited breath. And by that I mean stale sugar pops breath -- a little sugar, a little nuked grain, and a dash of chalk. Mmm.

You better.

Well, I don't know if they're still alive but... there's a good chance. That's about all I've got in terms of details.
|
Worried.
|
| 1147
|
0059FB37

This sort of thing happens from time to time, but... it would be good if we could also stop it from time to time.
|
Worried.
|
| 1148
|
0059FB38

I've heard a bunch of wild rumors about this case... what's true? I think that's something you've got to find out for yourself.
|
Worried.

0059FB63
|
Scanner picked up an Angler, but there could be other things. It seemed to be sending off some sort of warning call.
|
Or maybe not
|
| 1150
|
0059FB64
|
Not sure why, but there's an Angler here. Scanner seems pretty sure of it.
|
Story
|
| 1151
|
0059FB65
|
There used to be several Anglers here, but now there's just one. Probably the meanest one of the bunch.
|
Scared, a bit
|
| 1152
|
0059FB67
|
Tried to scan this signature and it reflected back onto the scanner. Almost certainly an Assaultron. Those things... are not messing around.
|
Concerned
|
| 1153
|
0059FB68
|
Scanner picked up on a bunch of Assaultrons recently. Most got picked off, but one remains. And that's what you're looking for.
|
Warning
|
| 1154
|
0059FB69

Looks like another Assaultron. Could be a U.S.S.A. model, but I'm not sure.
|
Warning

Every so often, a gnarly Bloatfly with a particularly mean streak hatches. If it isn't killed quickly, it breeds. That's what I heard.
|
Warning, kill it
|
| 1156
|
0059FB6C
|
Scanner found a single Bloatfly here that seems unusually mean. You gotta check it out.
|
Weird.
|
| 1157
|
0059FB6D
|
I've been tracking this Bloatfly for a while. It is responsible for personally infecting a dozen pack Brahmin recently. You know what to do.
|
Warning, kill it
|
| 1158
|
0059FB6F
|
Scanner picked up a couple of indistinct signals. I think one is a Wolf... not sure what the others are.
|
Warning
|
| 1159
|
0059FB70
|
A wolf was seen being chased into this place by a pack of rabid squirrels. Scanner can't really pick up on the squirrels... too small. Be careful.
|
amused, jokingly
|
| 1160
|
0059FB71
|
I heard there was a pack of Wolves here recently, then some hunters picked them off until just one remained. But it was a mean one.
|
Unknown
|
| 1161
|
0059FB73
|
Scanner indicated that some folks lived here recently... but it's just a Yao Guai now.
|
AMused
|
| 1162
|
0059FB74
|
Scanner indicates that it's an unusually aggressive Yao Guai... take care, good luck with it.
|
|
| 1163
|
0059FB75
|
I installed a special scanner upgrade unit to pick up on different kinds of creatures. This one is a Yao Guai. Seems like a mean one, too.
|
Pausing for you to guess.
|
| 1164
|
0059FB77
|
I know one of those crazed Appalachian cults is behind this. I just know it.
|
He doesn't really know it.
|
| 1165

There's gotta be more to it, but everybody's staying silent. You can't trust anything.
|
Worried

When I asked for more info, someone started chanting on the radio. Made my ears bleed. I couldn't shake it out of my mind for hours.

Scared

0059FB7B
|
Scanner picked up on a ton of Bloodbugs, but only one remains here now. Probably the meanest one of them all.
|
Warning, kill it
|
| 1168
|
0059FB7C

Scanner found some Bloodbugs laying some eggs recently. One has remained behind to guard them. I think... you should check it out.
|
Warning, kill it
|
| 1169
|
0059FB7D

Got a lead on a Bloodbug that took a bite out of everybody in a whole family, then they all died in a day. You have to get rid of it.
|
Warning, kill it

Heard some traders talk about this Blood Eagle guy recently... might be worth your time. Sounds like a terrible person, honestly.
|
Upset
|
| 1171
|
0059FB80
|
I never thought I'd be scanning Appalachia looking for murderers and thieves, but here we are. Found a Blood Eagle for you. Check it out?
|
Sad about it, but kill them
|
| 1172
|
0059FB81
|
Grahm told me that this Blood Eagle smacked Chally so hard that Chally fell into a ditch and got stuck. He was just moo-mooing for days.
|
Yeah, kill 'em!
|
| 1173
|
Took Grahm forever to dig him out. So upsetting...
|
|
| 1174
|
So... I think you know what to do with this Blood Eagle.
|
|

There's one big Cave Cricket at the center of this scan. Find it and eradicate it before it comes after those Settlers nearby.
|
Tongue twister
|
| 1176
|
0059FB84
|
Heard there was a Cave Cricket that cannibalized a creche of eggs. That's right. A cannibalistic creche-killing Cave Cricket. Kill it.
|
Tongue twister
|
| 1177

At the center of this place there's one big mean Cave Cricket. Normally I'd say... avoid it, but I think you shoudl eradicate it before it breeds.
|
Unsure

I've been tracking this beast for a while. This Deathclaw is wildly aggressive and... remembers. Waits. It needs to be destroyed.
|
Warning, kill this thing.
|
| 1179
|
0059FB88
|
Scanner picked up on a Deathclaw. Not just any Deathclaw, mind you, but a really old one. Not sure if that means it's meaner or weaker though.
|
Warning, kill this thing.
|
| 1180
|
0059FB89
|
Deathclaw sighted. Apparently it attacked Chally the Moo-Moo when Grahm was distracted. Chally will be okay... but this can't stand!
|
Angry, everybody loves Chally (said like Charlie but without the R)
|
| 1181
|
0059FB8B
|
Picked up on some old U.S.S.A. tech that was recycled into an Eyebot. Can you check it out? Destroy it, maybe?
|
Warning, kill this thing. May as well.
|
| 1182
|
0059FB8C
|
Pretty sure this Eyebot is a decommissioned U.S.S.A. Bot. Or parts of it are. Destroy it, will you?
|
Warning, kill this thing. May as well.
|
| 1183
|
0059FB8D
|
I'm fairly sure this Eyebot is an old U.S.S.A. model. Should probably destroy it while I've got its location locked.
|
Warning, kill this thing. May as well.
|
| 1184
|
0059FB8F
|
It's a Fog Crawler. I don't have any other information about it, though.
|
Warning, kill this thing.
|
| 1185
|
0059FB90
|
I swear, I thought this Fog Crawler was dead for days. But then its signal started moving. Freaked me out.
|
Warning, kill this thing.
|
| 1186
|
0059FB91
|
This Fog Crawler grew from a newborn size to a full adult size in half the time a regular one does. Kill it before it breeds!
|
Warning, concerned. this could be a hard kill.
|

A kind trader stopped by recently and asked me to find this Feral Ghoul and put it down. I think... he knew who it was, once. Be kind.
|
Warning, concerned. this could be a hard kill.
|
| 1188
|
0059FB94
|
Saw this Feral Ghoul on the scanner for days. It's getting closer, so... may as well kill it.
|
Warning, concerned. this could be a hard kill.
|
| 1189
|
0059FB95
|
This Feral Ghoul was released by one of the local Cults. Released. Why would they do that? Find it, kill it before... it does their bidding.
|
Warning, concerned. this could be a hard kill.

Ever hear of a Floater? Well. You're about to run right into one. Good luck, friend. You'll need it.

Warning the player about a new monster.

Floaters. That's what they're called. Weird things. Fortunately for you, I think there's only one. But the scanner has been wrong before.
|
Warning the player about a new monster.
|

Heard it's a Floater. How do you even kill those things? They freak me out.

0059FB9C
|
Heard from a trader that there's a Grafton Monster here.
|
Warning, concerned. this could be a hard kill.
|
| 1195
|
0059FB9D

Apparently there's a Grafton Monster there that was being toyed with by the Blood Eagles. Put it out of its misery, will you?
|
Warning, concerned. this could be a hard kill.
|
| 1196
|
0059FB9F
|
Scanner wasn't able to identify this one exactly, but I think it's either a Gulper or a Rad Toad.
|
Warning, concerned. this could be a hard kill.
|
| 1197
|
0059FBA0
|
Couple traders stopped by here the other day. Said there was a Gulper there. Scanner didn't pick up on anything, though.
|
Warning, concerned. this could be a hard kill.
|
| 1198
|
0059FBA1
|
Scanner picked up on a weird Gulper. Very aggressive. I wish we had the ability to do some experiments on these things... maybe one day.
|
Warning, concerned. this could be a hard kill.
|
| 1199
|
0059FBA3
|
Scanner is jammed. It's gotta be a Honey Beast. Due to the nature of the bees, it really messes up the signals.
|
Warning, concerned. this could be a hard kill.
|
| 1200
|
0059FBA4
|
I've been tracking a cloud of bees lately, seems like a Honey Beast. Beware. Get it? Bee ware. Hah.
|
Warning, concerned. this could be a hard kill.
|
| 1201
|
0059FBA5
|
Scanner seems to indicate that this Honey Beast is actually from somewhere else and is going to corrupt our local Honey Beasts. May as well kill it.
|
Warning, concerned. this could be a hard kill.
|
| 1202
|
0059FBA7
|
It's definitely an Insect... but beyond that? Not sure.
|
Warning, concerned. this could be a hard kill.
|
| 1203
|
0059FBA8
|
Well, it's an Insect. That's the best I can do.
|
Warning, concerned. this could be a hard kill.
|
| 1204
|
0059FBA9
|
Scanner was able to determine that it's an Insect for sure. Looks like other Insects are approaching too. Probably good to squash it now.
|
Warning, concerned. this could be a hard kill.
|
| 1205
|
0059FBAB
|
It's a Liberator, but it has some U.S.S.A. signal attached to it. Scrap metal, maybe? Please destroy it, this is worrisome.
|
Warning, concerned. This has been so annoying.
|
| 1206
|
0059FBAC
|
This Liberator has been trying to access a bunch of U.S.S.A. data lately. Can you... destroy it?
|
Warning, concerned. This has been so annoying.
|
| 1207
|
0059FBAD

Apparently this Liberator has been raiding U.S.S.A. supply caches. Frankly, it has me worried. Destroy it, please?
|
Warning, concerned. This has been so annoying.

I sort of like Mega Sloths... but this one is really aggressive. Possibly diseased? Hard to tell. It needs to be put down.

Hunter stopped by the other day and said he was being followed by a Megasloth. Anyway... the Megasloth is about a week behind him now.

Can you just.. find it and deal with it for him? It's making me laugh.

Not sure why, but there were a bunch of Snallygasters here and then in a few minutes... there ws just one. Maybe it ate the others?

Scanner is indicating that it's a Snallygaster. I don't know where these things even come from.

It's a Snallygaster, I guess. Scanner was really hazy about it.
|
Warning, laughing, he hates settlers
|

|
0059FBFB

It's one giant Stingwing. Gross, right? Scanner even said it's gross. Okay, it didn't... but... it should.
|
Dramatic
|
| 1268
|
0059FBFC
|
A trader saw Stingwing poo around this place, so could be one there.
|
friendly, sincere, sharing the intel you have with the player so they are informed about the favor/mission you are sending them on
|
| 1269
|
0059FBFD
|
Where there's one Stingwing, there's many. Or just one. Honestly it isn't really a strong indicator of population. But anyway. There's one here.
|
Jokingly

Grahm confirmed that there's a Super Mutant here, and not a friendly one. In fact, it's one that has been causing problems for Grahm.
|
Warning
|

|
In my book, that means we gotta get rid of it. You know what I mean?

There were a ton of Super Mutants here only recently. Now there's one. Seems like it chased off the others. So it's... very aggressive.
|
Warning
|

|
0059FC01

Apparently there's one angry Super Mutant at this place, shouting at anybody who passed. It's starting to get violent. Can you deal with it?
|
Warning
|

I literally have no idea what this thing is. I'm sorry. Scanner can only tell that it isn't a Robot.

Hunters weren't sure what was here, scanner can't pick it up either. I'm sorry. It's not a robot but... that's all I can tell.
|
Warning
|
| 1276

0059FC05

Scanner isn't able to get details on this thing. Sort of makes me nervous. I know it's not a robot but... it's aggressive though. That's all I know.

Scanner result is positive. It's a Tick. Sorry.

Warning
|
| 1278

0059FC08

Trader stopped by just to tell me that there's a Tick at this place, and he had no interest in passing by our way again until it's dead. So.
|
Grossed out
|
| 1279

0059FC09

There's a Tick here according to the scanner. Probably more than one, but... hard to tell.

Rad Toad. The signal on the scanner was absolutely clear.
|
Warning

I watched this Rad Toad hop from one end of West Virginia to the other, then back to this spot exactly. Twice. I think something odd is up with it.
|
Unsure
|
| 1282
|
0059FC0D
|
Grahm told me there's a RadToad here, said he saw it from the road. Then he got sorta confused and called it a RoadTad.
|
Awww cute
|
| 1283
|
0059FC0F
|
Scanner indicates that one big, mean dog has shredded everything at this location and is still there.
|
Just fyi
|
| 1284
|
0059FC10
|
Giant mean dog sighted at this location. A hunter warned me about it recently. We should just deal with it, right.
|
Dog story
|
| 1285
|
0059FC11

Feels like such a bummer to hunt down dogs, but this one is particularly mean. We should put it down out of mercy.

He doesn't get it

|
R-Really? I was afraid you just thought of me as "that needy person" or "the one with all the headaches."
|
|
| 1287
|
I sometimes feel like I've barely been myself through our time together.
|
|
| 1288
|
It made me doubt what I was feeling, but now that you've said that... it must be real, right?
|
|
| 1289
|
005A113C
|
Oh, more? I hadn't... I mean, you've never... I... I don't know quite what to say.
|
|
| 1290
|
With everything my head has been through, I hadn't even considered that you'd even think I was... dating material.
|
|
| 1291
|
I come with my own set of matched luggage if you know what I mean.
|
|
| 1292
|
005A113D
|
Those are the words I wanted to hear.
|
|
| 1293
|
I admit, I had the smallest fear that you'd think I wasn't ready.
|
|
| 1294
|
ATHENA, sleeping pods... It's a lot to take in, and I've barely scratched the surface in this new world.

Of course. I... understand. *ahem* Professional it is!

The scanner is still picking up plenty of signals, and you're assistance is always invaluable.

Let's get back to it!
|
|

Of course. I... must have misunderstood, I mean, I understand. *ahem* Professional it is!

005A1125

005A1143

Oh? *sigh* You're... right. And I know. I haven't even taken the time to redefine who I am in this world.
|
|
| 1302
|
One minute I'm listening to soothing whale songs, thinking I'm doing my part, making my parents proud.
|
|
| 1303
|
Next, I'm a recently freed experimental lab rat in a post apocalyptic world.
|
|
| 1304
|
I guess it's time to let the soul searching begin, but still, I have you to thank for that.
|
|
| 1305
|
005A1127
|
005A113A
|
Is it too sappy to say you've got my head spinning, but in a good way?
|
|
| 1306
|
005A113B
|
And I love you, if it wasn't obvious already.
|
|
| 1307
|
005A1129
|
005A1137
|
Oh, not to mention share their priceless video games with you. And yes, I'm prepared to kick your butt any day.

Second sentence is a playful, taunting challenge.

Sure friends let you crash on their couch, but true friends take out killer robots and rescue sympathetic AIs.

I deserve that. I mean, I have been a bit of a task manager. You've done quite a bit for me, and all I have to give is my gratitude.
|
Slight disappointment and apologetic.
|
| 1311
|
005A112D
|
005A1139
|
Just like those good old college days, huh? Except, I guess I'm the one that never does the dishes...
|
Joking. Her "dishes" joke is referencing how the player does all the work.
|
| 1312
|
005A112F
|
005A1135
|
It feels good to hear you say that. It's been hard to have clarity since I... woke up.
|
|
| 1313
|
005A1131
|
005A1136
|
I've spent so much time here, I never really stopped to think that this is your home, not mine.
|
Reflective.

|
Between the headaches and total collapse of modern civilization as I knew it, sometimes I'm not sure where certain feelings are coming from.
|
She should say "total collapse of modern civilization" as if she's quoting it.
|
| 1315
|
Thanks to you, I'm finally beyond that.
|
|
| 1316
|
And, given how life is even more unpredictable than ever these days... I just wanted you to know how much you've come to mean to me.
|
|
| 1317
|
005A1134
|
005A1138
|
I won't argue with that.
|
|
| 1318
|
005A11F2
|
005A11F5
|
I've been through so much, and I finally have a fresh start. I'm just happy that you're going to be a part of that.
|
|
| 1319
|
005A11F3
|
005A11F4
|
But, in all honesty, you've given me my life back and asked for nothing in return.
|
Being honest and sincere.
|
| 1320
|
Obviously, I've had misguided friendships in the past, but to me, you're the real deal.
|
|
| 1321
|
005A11F6
|
005A1340
|
I mean, yes, you don't have the monopoly on being a decent human being.
|
|
| 1322
|
But being a decent and being a one man army... Can you see my point? Miracle.
|
|
| 1323
|
005A11F8
|
005A1345
|
You're right. I mean, she was just a program?
|
|
| 1324
|
But she seemed so... sad. Is it wrong to feel sorry for basically code?
|
|
| 1325
|
005A11F9
|
005A134D
|
That makes a lot of sense. You know, making sure that all their lies and plans are over...
|
|
| 1326
|
I buy it. See, you're still helping me out.
|
|
| 1327
|
005A11FC
|
005A134E
|
I feel better than good. I feel like I could fly. Just feeling... normal, feels amazing.
|
|
| 1328
|
Maybe a little guilt to go with that, though.
|
|
| 1329
|
005A11FD
|
005A133F
|
A.T.H.E.N.A... she was just as much of a tool as I was. A victim.
|
|
| 1330
|
I can't help wonder, if what we did is right.
|
|
| 1331
|
005A11FE
|
005A1343
|
I have to say something, and I know it may sound corny. But hear me out.
|
|
| 1332
|
005A1203
|
005A1341
|
*chuckle* Well, I wouldn't cry many tears if that had happened...
|
|
| 1333
|
But it sounds like he's already paid for his crimes. The apocalypse hasn't been kind to him. Or anyone, really.
|
|
| 1334
|
Him going through a bit of hell, though, I'm all right with that.
|
|
| 1335
|
005A1205
|
005A134A
|
It's more of nagging now? And when it fades I feel normal. Blissfully normal.
|
|
| 1336
|
005A1206
|
005A1348
|
Logically and objectively, I think I should be. The scientist in me can't discount the possibility.
|
|
| 1337
|
But... No, I'm really not. I feel a... connection, and not the creepy kind.
|
|
| 1338
|
And, I think it may turn out to be a really good thing what we did.
|
|
| 1339
|
005A120B
|
005A134C
|
But she was just as much of a victim as I. And now, I feel like I can really breathe again.
|
|
| 1340
|
005A120D
|
005A1344
|
I fell to Earth, and literally anybody could've met me. Most people would've shived me for my suit alone.
|
|
| 1341
|
So the greatest miracle of all of this... was finding you.
|
This isn't romantic, it is appreciation - although I don't mind if the read could lead to something more (a romance can springboard off this)
|
| 1342
|
005A120E
|
005A1342
|
Now that everything's over, where does that really leave us?
|
Slightly nervous. Uncertain of the future, but being hopeful.
|
| 1343
|
005A1210
|
005A1346
|
I have to say something, and I know it may sound corny. But hear me out.
|
|
| 1344
|
005A1211
|
005A1349
|
*laughter* I told you it would be corny.
|
|
| 1345
|
But... well, I mean it.
|
|
| 1346
|
005A179B
|
005A190E
|
Hello? Someone there?
|
Spooked, you heard a sound
|
| 1347
|
005A190F
|
Something's there...
|
Spooked, just heard a sound
|
| 1348
|
005A1910
|
Eyes open! Something's close...
|
Spooked, danger might be nearby
|
| 1349
|
005A1911
|
What the...?
|
Alerted, danger might be close
|
| 1350
|
005A179C
|
005856AB
|
Thought I heard something.... hmm. Weird.
|
Ambient noises
|
| 1351
|
005A191B
|
Okay... Must have been my imagination.
|
Hesitant, uncertain, spooked
|
| 1352
|
005A191C
|
I don't know what that was, but I hope it's gone.
|
Hesitant, uncertain, spooked
|
| 1353
|
005A191D
|
This place is really starting to get to me...
|
Hesitant, uncertain, spooked
|
| 1354
|
005A191E
|
Get a hold of yourself, Sofia.
|
Spooked, you thought you saw/heard something, but it's nothing after all
|
| 1355
|
005A179D
|
005A191F
|
Glad that's over.
|
Relief, just ended a fight.
|
| 1356
|
005A1920
|
It's okay... we're okay.
|
Just survived a fight... nervous, a little shaky, not used to combat
|
| 1357
|
005A1906
|
005A1912
|
Oh, great. Not again...
|
Kind of exasperated as you head into combat.
|
| 1358
|
005A1913
|
You want to do this the hard way? Fine!
|
Enemy spotted, starting a fight. Determined, a little annoyed.
|
| 1359
|
005A1914
|
You're going to regret this!
|
Starting a fight, determined, angry
|
| 1360
|
005A1915
|
Oh no you don't!
|
Starting a fight, determined and angry
|
| 1361
|
005A1916
|
That's your last mistake!
|
Starting a fight, angry, determined
|
| 1362
|
005A1907
|
005A1922
|
I've just about had enough of you.
|
Annoyed, taunting an enemy
|
| 1363
|
005A1923
|
If you thought I'd be easy pickings, you're dead wrong.
|
Annoyed, taunting an enemy
|
| 1364
|
005A1924
|
You realize that you don't have a chance, right?
|
Annoyed, taunting an enemy
|
| 1365
|
005A1929
|
You picked the wrong day to get on my bad side.
|
Annoyed, taunting an enemy
|
| 1366
|
005A192A
|
You are so done.
|
Annoyed, taunting an enemy

Badly wounded and knocked down during a fight

Aw hell, I'm down...
|
Badly wounded and knocked down during a fight
|

005A1927
|
Need help... quick...
|
Badly wounded and knocked down during a fight
|
| 1376
|
005A1928
|
I'm done... sorry...
|
Badly wounded and knocked down during a fight, apologizing to the player
|
| 1377
|
005A1A23
|
005A1A3B
|
That said... anything else you wanted to talk about?
|
|
| 1378
|
005A1A24
|
005A1A47
|
We'll just call that last time a test run. And now we're ready for the real deal.
|
|
| 1379
|
005A1A48
|
I'm glad you changed your mind. I think we can give it a real shot this time.
|
|
| 1380
|
005A1A49
|
It'll be good to get back to... "us." We make a pretty good team, you know.
|
|
| 1381
|
005A1A25
|
005A1A38
|
Forgiven completely. And, I have to say I agree. Stupid mistake, indeed.
|
Joking with the player.
|
| 1382
|
005A1A27
|
005A1A3D
|
I understand. I often thought about that myself. The timing of it all.
|
|
| 1383
|
I had my own fears that we may have rushed into things initially, so I understood when you ended things.
|
Understanding.
|
| 1384
|
005A1A29
|
005A1A3A
|
It's so good to hear you say that. I admit, I was pretty crushed to lose you, but oddly, I think the space apart did us both some good.
|
|
| 1385
|
It made me realize that I'm not relying on you, and I've really had the chance to regain my identity again.
|
|
| 1386
|
005A1A2B
|
005A1A3F
|
Sure, what's on your mind?
|
|
| 1387
|
005A1A2D
|
005A1A40
|
Wha-What? I mean, that's the last thing I expected you to say... Why the change of heart?
|
Being cautious.
|
| 1388
|
005A1A41
|
I admit, I've been hoping you'd say something like that... but what changed?
|
Being cautious.
|
| 1389
|
005A1A42
|
Are you sure this time? Not that I don't want to, it's just... what changed your mind?
|
Being cautious.
|
| 1390
|
005A1A2E
|
00589710
|
You're... serious, aren't you? That's just... so unexpected. Are you toying with me? Why would you do that?
|
Shocked
|
| 1391
|
*sighs* I know how this world can scramble our brains sometimes. Believe me. I'm here for you, I always will be.
|
Glad she can be here for the player, will take them back, but is a bit hurt by all of this.
|
| 1392
|
Ok. Let's try again. But, well, I... need a moment to compose myself after this.
|
Deep breath
|
| 1393
|
005A1A2F
|
005A1A4A
|
You know, I'll always appreciate everything you've done for me. And thanks to you, I know there's still hope in this world.
|
|
| 1394
|
I know that sounds cheesy or something... but what I'm trying to say is, even if we're not together, you still mean a lot to me.
|
Sincere
|
| 1395
|
I have every intention of sticking around as a friend... if you'll let me.
|
Slight sadness as the end.
|
| 1396
|
Now, let's get on with our lives before I take this sappiness to the next level.
|
Clearing the throat or something at first. Recomposing herself. Then ending on a cheerful note.
|
| 1397
|
005A1A4B
|
There's always that little voice that wants to doubt everything. It kept saying this was all too good to be true.
|
|
| 1398
|
Of course I kept telling it to shut up, but sometimes... sometimes I should really learn to listen.
|
Getting sad.
|
| 1399
|
If it means anything, you'll always have a special place in my heart... and after all you've done for me, I wouldn't have it any other way.
|
|
| 1400
|
005A1A4C
|
I was just thinking about how lucky I've been lately.
|
|
| 1401
|
I survived a crash landing, I found you, who helped me find out the truth about Emerson, the U.S.S.A., and Athena...
|
|
| 1402
|
Sooo lucky... that I knew that luck had to run out at some point.
|
|
| 1403
|
But it was worth it. No regrets. And I hope you'll still consider us friends.
|
|
| 1404
|
005A1A30
|
005A1A3C
|
Oh, ok.
|
Friendly and upbeat.
|
| 1405
|
005A1A32
|
0058567E
|
All thrusters are go, my love.
|
Romance is on!
|
| 1406
|
005896F5
|
Aside from the fact that the world is full of mutants creatures and we're constantly under threat... I'm glad that I have your love.
|
Romance is on!
|
| 1407
|
