006E06E1
|
Oh yes. I'm glad my feelings came across clearly. I wouldn't want you thinking I like them or anything. They're criminals.
|
Sassy and proud of her unwillingness to flatter the mafia and the Showmen when she doesn't actually mean it.
|
| 2
|
The only reason they're still around is because their "business" brings tourists in.
|
Putting them down harshly.
|
| 3
|
We need tourists in Atlantic City to make enough money to keep our civilians alive. Make sense?
|
Sharing her predicament. She hates the mafia and the Showmen, but also needs them.
|
| 4
|
006E06BB
|
006E06D9
|
They're a bunch of thugs who think they're entertainers because they wear costumes and speak all fancy.
|
Judging the Showmen sarcastically. She does not think highly of them at all.
|
| 5
|
I'd rather moonwalk through a minefield than attend one of their shows. Are you starting to get a good picture of Atlantic City now?
|
Trying to think of clever ways to express her disapproval.
|
| 6
|
006E06BC
|
006E06E3
|
They're a bunch of thugs who think they're businessmen because they wear suits and have "culture."
|
Sharing her very negative opinion on the mafia. She despises them as they personally tried to rob her and her husband in the past. Sarcastic.
|
| 7
|
I'd rather spend my caps on a root canal than in that sorry excuse of a casino.
|
Knows this would insult them more than anything. Root canals are typically very painful.
|
| 8
|
Maybe you'll start to see a pattern here. Next question, please.
|
Sassy and confident.
|
| 9
|
006E06BD
|
006E06DA
|
All right. Anything else on your mind?
|
A bit distracted and worried by her own thoughts, but still open to talking to the player.
|
| 10
|
006E06BE
|
006E06E5
|
Anything else on your mind?
|
Open to other questions.
|
| 11
|
006E06BF
|
006E06DB
|
Short attention span, probably. I assume "muni" is short for "municipal." As in, "municipal government", which is what we are.
|
A bit annoyed explaining how the municipal government got their slang nickname.
|
| 12
|
I think the Family and the Showmen were the ones who started it up. Meant to be derogatory, no doubt.
|
Finds their attempts to be insulting laughable.
|
| 13
|
We don't care much to stop it. We've got bigger problems than a nickname. Formally, we're known as the Mayor's Office.
|
Doesn't really care what people call the government since they take on much bigger fights every day.
|
| 14
|
006E06C0
|
006E06F1
|
Let's see now. There's my department, the Power Production and Management Division.
|
Trying to gather her thoughts to explain the various departments of the civilian government to the player.
|
| 15
|
We produce electricity and distribute it. I also handle the Water Purification and Distribution Division.
|
Recounting her duties.
|
| 16
|
Same thing, just with clean water instead of power. There's the Internal Revenue Service. Buttercup heads that.
|
Recounting all of the departments of the government.
|
| 17
|
They're in charge of...uh, collecting taxes to keep everything running. They're the auditors you've probably seen around town.
|
Skipping over the minor detail that the auditors are ruthless thugs.
|
| 18
|
Then there's the Agricultural and Caravanning Services. Tim oversees that himself.
|
Explaining her husband's duties.
|
| 19
|
He manages the output of the farms on the outskirts and ensures the farmers and their farmhands are all properly compensated.
|
Explaining her husband's duties.
|
| 20
|
Additionally, they distribute food in the city so no one goes hungry. They also trade with the caravans 'round here for essentials.
|
Outlining her husband's responsibilities.
|
| 21
|
There's the Emergency Services Division. Anna runs that. They're the paramedics and firefighters. Dispatchers.
|
Casually listing off the duties of the Emergency Services Division.
|
| 22
|
She makes sure every emergency is addressed and that the right people are sent to handle it.
|
Outlining Anna's duties with a sense of pride.
|
| 23
|
Finally, there's the Pine Barrens Forestry Division, led by Sloane. They're basically our park rangers. They handle the Overgrown threat.
|
This department is newer, and a bit of a grim topic.
|
| 24
|
You won't see them around City Hall much as they spend the day usually scouting the perimeter of the city.
|
Speaking casually.
|
| 25
|
006E06C1
|
006E06DD
|
To be blunt, we handle basically everything. Electricity, food, clean water, trade, medicine, security...
|
It may seem like she's bragging, but she's actually just being honest.
|
| 26
|
We make sure the people of Atlantic City are taken care of. It's exhausting work, but no one else is going to do it.
|
She finds her work to be noble and essential. It's also a lot of work, and she knows most people are not selfless enough to do it.
|
| 27
|
006E06C2
|
006E0706
|
Okay. Is there anything else you need?
|
Open to talking, friendly.
|
| 28
|
006E06C3
|
006E06DE
|
She fled the city. Least, that's what Tim told me. Like I said, she wasn't the bravest. She knew she couldn't handle it.
|
Seems to have just taken Tim's word for it. She never thought highly of Carly. Doesn't seem too keen on the player asking about this.
|
| 29
|
Dunno where she went. I haven't seen her since.
|
Doesn't seem concerned about this in the slightest.
|
| 30
|
006E06C4
|
006E06D6
|
Ha! Now that's a story. Back in the day, the mayor was a woman named Carly Day. A bland career politician. And a notorious coward.
|
Finds the whole story of how her husband came to be mayor to be amusing. She clearly doesn't respect Carly, or anyone she deems to be a coward.
|
| 31
|
When the bombs dropped, she let the mafia and the entertainers who would become the Showmen run wild doing whatever they wanted.
|
She thinks this was a totally reckless and stupid decision.
|
| 32
|
People were starving and getting sick from dirty water. There was no electricity. They were ready to riot.
|
Describing a very dismal scene, underlying how dangerous Atlantic City was back then.
|
| 33
|
Turns out, entertainment doesn't matter much when you're on death's door. The Family got desperate, and they came knocking on the farms for food.
|
Holds a lot of disdain towards the mafia for doing that. They had initially attempted to rob her and her husband's farm.
|
| 34
|
They underestimated Tim, that's for sure. After he shot their whole raiding party, they got on their knees and pleaded for food.
|
Proud of her husband for taking a stand against the mafia.
|
| 35
|
So he marched over to City Hall and confronted Carly. Shotgun in hand. Needless to say, she stepped down, and he stepped up.
|
Seems to be conveniently skipping over what really happened to Carly and painting Tim as a total hero.
|
| 36
|
I came with him to help, obviously. We got a group of charitable Samaritans to join up. We've been running things around here ever since.
|
Ending the story on a happy note, although it's possible something is missing.
|
| 37
|
006E06C5
|
006E06D8
|
We were farmers. Lived on the outskirts of Atlantic City.
|
Recounting her early life with Tim with positive nostalgia.
|
| 38
|
He was my high school sweetheart. Tim's family had been farmers for generations, and he was set to take over the family farm.
|
Recounting her life story with positive memories.
|
| 39
|
I felt stuck. I felt I had to choose between him and pursuing my engineering degree.
|
Laying out the problems she faced as a young woman having to choose between love and her career.
|
| 40
|
But we made it work. Tim promised to help me pay for my degree with the profits from the farm. So we married, and he kept his word.
|
She clearly respects Tim a lot for keeping his word and putting her education first.
|
| 41
|
I ended up using my expertise to fix up our equipment. It gave us a competitive edge in the area.
|
Proud of her work.
|
| 42
|
006E06C6
|
006E06E0
|
Oh, yes. I realize I don't really look the part of a mayor's wife, but if you haven't noticed, the world ended.
|
Laughs a bit in the beginning. She finds it funny that she does not look like a polished politician.
|
| 43
|
I doubt schmoozing and political greasing matter much these days.
|
Making a joke pertaining to how none of this stuff even matters considering the world ended.
|
| 44
|
006E06C7
|
006E06F3
|
The power grid's running just fine, yet here I am running on fumes.
|
A bit frustrated and tired. Remarking on how she devotes all of her energy to keeping the city running.
|
| 45
|
006E06F4
|
If those Overgrown get into the generators again, I swear I'm going to cut them down like a pine tree on Christmas.
|
Angry at the problems the Overgrown keep creating for her.
|
| 46
|
006E06F5
|
Just cross the green wire over the blue and then...no, that's not right.
|
Talking to herself as she works. A bit frustrated.
|
| 47
|
006E06F6
|
I'm starting to miss farm life. Things used to be so simple.
|
Mournful, nostalgic for a simpler time when she wasn’t so overworked.
|
| 48
|
006E06F7
|
Sometimes I wonder what the point of all this is. No one seems to appreciate anything we do.
|
Experiencing self-doubt. She’s not sure if all the work she does is really worth it.
|
| 49
|
006E06F8
|
If we have another brownout, my gray hairs will grow gray hairs.
|
Making a joke about how stressful losing power is.
|
| 50
|
006E06F9
|
How the hell does Buttercup maintain his muscles with such little protein in his diet?
|
Genuinely befuddled as to how he is so buff.
|
| 51
|
006E06FA
|
Occasionally it feels like Tim and I aren't a couple, but a throuple. The third being Atlantic City, of course.
|
Making a joke on how dedicated her and her husband are to the city.
|
| 52
|
006E06FB
|
Had a dream last night I had a day off. It was more of a nightmare, because the city fell apart immediately. Maybe a vision?
|
Comedically musing on the fact that her taking a day off would lead to total ruin.
|
| 53
|
006E06FC
|
It's a beautiful day outside, so long as my eyes are closed.
|
Making a sarcastic joke.
|
| 54
|
006E06C8
|
006E06E7
|
Tim's a good man. And you'd do well to know this city's in short supply of good men. Just go take a walk in the Entertainment District.
|
Referencing the fact that the other factions are basically criminals. Tim is her husband and she admires him greatly. A bit defensive of his reputati
|
| 55
|
006E06E8
|
If you're looking for coffee, I'm pretty sure Anna already drank all of it.
|
A bit amused by this, but just tipping the player off as a warning.
|
| 56
|
006E06E9
|
If you ever feel like getting electrocuted, feel free to lend a hand.
|
Making a sarcastic joke. She knows her job isn’t very desirable.
|
| 57
|
006E06EA
|
You'd have to be either crazy selfless or crazy dumb to want to work for the Mayor's Office. I'm probably both.
|
Referring to how many hours they work for little to no pay.
|
| 58
|
006E06EB
|
If you need anything, feel free to bother my husband.
|
Amused at sending over tasks to Tim.
|
| 59
|
006E06EC
|
Can't talk now. Need to reconfigure a few bits and bobbles.
|
Wrapped up in her work.
|
| 60
|
006E06ED
|
You thinking of sticking around the city center for long? Might want to invest in a swimsuit.
|
Making a joke about how flooded the area is.
|
| 61
|
006E06EE
|
Sloane's been roaming around the perimeter taking out Overgrown. Can't say I envy her work.
|
Commenting on how Sloane, another Muni, is patrolling the city to keep the Overgrown threat under control.
|
| 62
|
006E06EF
|
Try not to lose all your money at the casinos. That tends to be a problem around here.
|
Commenting on how the city is dominated by vice that often destroys people’s lives.
|
| 63
|
006E06F0
|
If anyone gives you trouble, you let me know. I may not be an auditor, but I can sic Buttercup on 'em.
|
Motherly protective instincts.
|
| 64
|
006E06C9
|
006E06FF
|
Don't think we've had a chance to chat yet. Figures. Most of the chatting I do is just yelling at faulty wiring.
|
Introducing herself for the first time. Friendly and amicable.
|
| 65
|
I'm Frieda, Frieda Lane. I keep the lights on around here.

Hmm? Did you need something?

I'm busy, but I can make time if you need it. What's up?

Overwhelmed, but still friendly.
|
| 68
|
006E0703
|
How's the whole hero thing going?
|
Making a sarcastic joke.
|
| 69
|
006E0704
|
If it's bad news, don't even tell me.
|
Sarcastic.
|
| 70
|
006E0705
|
Did Tim send you over here? He doesn't look busy, that rascal.
|
Playfully suspecting her husband of passing work onto her.

If there's a later. Stay safe out there.
|

|
What do you need to know?

Open and friendly.
|
| 73
|
006E06CE
|
006E06E2
|
Ask away.
|
Casual, open, friendly.
|
| 74
|
006E06D0
|
006E06DC
|
All right. What is it?
|
A bit reluctant. She doesn't like hearing criticism of her husband.
|
| 75
|
006E06D2
|
006E06E4
|
Me? Oh, no. I may moan but I've got everything under control. I appreciate your attitude. My husband might have some work for you at some point.
|
Surprised by the player's willingness to help.
|
| 76
|
He's the mayor, but he doesn't look it.
|
Making a little joke, since Tim doesn't look like a mayor at all.
|
| 77
|
006E06D4
|
006E06FD
|
I'm an engineer. Well, I'm the lead engineer, technically.
|
Speaking bluntly.
|
| 78
|
I'm the head of the Power Production and Management Division of the Mayor's Office. Or the PPMD, if you want to save time.
|
Explaining her responsibilities.
|
| 79
|
It's a fancy way of saying I make sure the power keeps running and that it's diverted to the right places.
|
She doesn't care for long sophisticated names.
|
| 80
|
I oversee all of the other engineers and electricians. I also train them and send them out if anything goes wrong.
|
Speaking colloquially.
|
| 81
|
Things usually go wrong.
|
Making a sarcastic joke.
|
