| 1 | 00596E11 | 00596E44 | Miscellaneous Greetings | Ah, what a magnificent place this once was. The very epicenter of learning here in Appalachia. Truly, nothing is as valuable as a good education. |
Wistful, looking around at the remains of a once-proud state university |
| 2 | 00596E99 | Hello once more! What can I do for you? |
Cheerful | ||
| 3 | 00596E12 | 00596E4A | Miscellaneous Hellos | Ah, hello again. |
|
| 4 | 00596E4B | You're back! |
|||
| 5 | 00596E4C | Hello once more. |
|||
| 6 | 00596E4D | Good to see you again. |
|||
| 7 | 00596E4E | Welcome once more to the hallowed grounds of Vault-Tec University. |
|||
| 8 | 00596E51 | I imagine this campus was quite lovely once. |
Looking around at a college, with fond memories | ||
| 9 | 00596E52 | You can almost hear the hustle and bustle of students gathering, talking, and rushing to get to class. |
|||
| 10 | 00596E53 | The school's quite intact. That's a pleasant surprise. |
|||
| 11 | 00596E54 | This institution was quite prestigious in its day. |
|||
| 12 | 00596E13 | 00596E39 | So, what brings you here to the hallowed halls of Vault-Tec University? Searching for knowledge? Foraging for supplies? |
Neutral, making conversation with a stranger, still sizing them up | |
| 13 | Or perhaps some secret mission you can't talk about? | Cheerful, said with a sort of sly, playful wink and in a low voice, pretending to be a spy | |||
| 14 | 00596E15 | 00596E42 | [Intelligence 8+] As Benjamin Franklin once said, an investment in knowledge pays the best interest. | Well said! Well said, indeed! It's so good to meet a fellow devotee of the humanities. |
Enthusiastic |
| 15 | I don't mind saying that enlightened minds such as yours and mine are in desperately short supply of late. | ||||
| 16 | 00596E17 | 00596E3B | Education will be vital to the rebuilding effort. | It certainly will, and not just for the rebuilding of structures, machines and other scientific and technological pursuits. |
Like a professor lecturing |
| 17 | We must also repair the fabric of our society and our culture. We must embrace history, art, music, literature and philosophy. | Rising passion, getting on a soapbox | |||
| 18 | Why, our mission must be nothing short of reclaiming that which makes us civilized. | Enthusiasm and passion | |||
| 19 | 00596E19 | 00596E45 | You've got to be joking. An education is totally worthless now. | Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil. That's Plato, and while I could take the time to explain who he was, I rather doubt you'd care. |
Indignant, haughty, feeling insulted |
| 20 | *Sigh* I don't mean to condescend, but it's enormously frustrating to encounter someone who doesn't care about all that we've lost. | Exasperated, open with a sigh of frustration. Struggling to apologize, but you feel passionate about this | |||
| 21 | 00596E1B | 00596E3E | Yeah, that's great. I'll be going now. | May your travels be always safe and your mind be always open. |
|
| 22 | 00596E1D | 00596E48 | Education will be vital to the rebuilding effort. | Ah, well I'm afraid there's not much left to find. Time has not been kind to this proud institution. |
Wistful and sad |
| 23 | I myself scoured every classroom and laboratory that I could find, but to little avail. | ||||
| 24 | Of course, it didn't help that I was constantly forced to hide from those slavering, deformed horrors roaming the halls. | A mix of disgust and fear (you're referring to Feral Ghouls) | |||
| 25 | 00596E1F | 00596E3F | I'm foraging for supplies. | Well, this isn't such a bad place for that, I suppose. |
|
| 26 | I myself have made more than few forays into the musty corridors and classrooms in search of anything useful. | ||||
| 27 | I must give you fair warning, however, that the school is now home to bands of rasping mutant horrors that seem inclined toward violence. | ||||
| 28 | 00596E21 | 00596E36 | I'm on a secret mission. | Ah, a dash of intrigue always livens up my day. |
Amused, having fun |
| 29 | I admit, the mysteries of Appalachia have always appealed to me. I do enjoy a good tale of cryptid sightings or conspiracy theories. | ||||
| 30 | If your objective is the preservation of knowledge, then I wish you great success. | ||||
| 31 | 00596E23 | 00596E40 | None of your business. | I've offended you. I'm sorry, that wasn't my intent. |
|
| 32 | I suppose I'm just eager to engage someone - anyone - in conversation. Such opportunities are all too rare lately. | ||||
| 33 | 00596E25 | 00596E38 | I'm here to meet someone, a woman with glasses and gray hair. Have you seen her? | Not only have I seen her, we had a pleasant conversation just a short while ago. She went inside the school. I do hope she's safe. |
|
| 34 | 00596E27 | 00596E41 | [Intelligence 8+] Got any supplies you could share with a fellow enlightened mind? | Normally, I'd have to politely refuse your request, but I think we've forged a bond, you and I. |
Friendly |
| 35 | We're like two sailors navigating a stormy ocean of ignorance on a dark night, seeking the bright beacon of knowledge to guide us to safe harbor. | Waxing poetic | |||
| 36 | Here, a gift for a fellow seeker of wisdom. | Handing the player something | |||
| 37 | 00596E29 | 00596E3A | Thanks for your time. | Certainly. It was a genuine pleasure. |
The player just said goodbye |
| 38 | 00596E2B | 00596E43 | I have some questions. | Ask away! |
|
| 39 | 00596E2D | 00596E3D | [Strength 8+] I need supplies and you're going to give them to me, because I will hit a man with glasses. | Now now, there's no need for violence. I'm happy to help. |
A bit flustered and scared, you've just been threatened |
| 40 | After all, as Dickens once wrote, no one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another. | Flustered, intimidated. You've been threatened into giving the player supplies. | |||
| 41 | Here, have these with my compliments. | ||||
| 42 | 00596E2F | 00596E47 | Where are you from? | Up north. Connecticut. A small town called Monroe, named for the fifth president of the United States. |
Happy to make conversation and reminisce |
| 43 | It was quite lovely, especially in the autumn. My wife and I used to ride the bicycle trails on Sundays and then visit the local brewery for a pint. | ||||
| 44 | Ah, I do miss those days. And I miss my Millie, may she rest in everlasting peace. | A note of sadness about losing your wife | |||
| 45 | 00596E31 | 00596E37 | What brings you to Appalachia? | That's a bit of a story. Not long after the war, I lost my wife Millicent to cancer, likely brought on by the radiation. |
Looking back with sadness |
| 46 | Every day I questioned whether to go on living at all. Without her, the days were empty, devoid of any purpose beyond the simple need to survive. | ||||
| 47 | But in time, once I'd learned to adapt to living in the world after the bombs, I decided to set a new goal for myself. | ||||
| 48 | I set out to visit those great American centers of learning that still remained intact. I've always felt at home in such places. | ||||
| 49 | And so, here I am, at least for a while. | ||||
| 50 | 00596E33 | 00596E46 | What did you do before the war? | I was a teacher. History and literature were my subjects. It always brought me great joy to illuminate the eager minds of children. |
Cheerful, a happy memory |
| 51 | Well, for the few who were interested, at any rate. High school students are easily distracted, I'm afraid. | ||||
| 52 | 00596E35 | 00596E3C | That's all I wanted to know. | Very well. Was there anything else? |
|
| 53 | 005972DB | 005972DC | What do you think about the Vault-Tec corporation? | Well, I'd start by saying that without Vault-Tec, humanity would be lost. The Vaults saved precious lives and gave us a chance to rebuild. |
Proud |
| 54 | Now, we all heard about the rumors and controversies, but what large corporation doesn't have to cope with such things from time to time? | ||||
| 55 | As far as I'm concerned, the only real blemish on Vault-Tec's record is the rather shameless corporate branding on display here at VTU. | Disdain, haughty disapproval |
