| GREETING | GREETING | Neutral 50 | No time to talk now. I have to get ready to return to base with this information. I'll get a fat raise for this, if anyone actually believes me. | 1 |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | {Nonchalant} Okay, so you weren't kidding about there being a Brotherhood base here. | 2 | |
| Neutral 50 | I'll need to report back to base about this. They'll think I'm playing a prank if I try to radio it in, so I'll need some face time with the brass. | 3 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Thanks for the heads up. I mean it. I'll be sure to mention you in my report. | 4 | ||
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Shhh. I thought I heard something up by the entrance. | 5 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Now, now. Calm down. I believe you saw something. Let's just head back to my camp and we'll figure out what it was, okay? | 6 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Sorry, but I've got a long hike ahead of me. You take care. | 7 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Powder ganger scum! Hands up or die! | 8 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Thought you'd sneak up on me, you filthy powder ganger? | 9 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Oh, it's you. Any particular reason you felt the need to bother me again? | 10 | |
| HVRangerIntroIllBeGoing | I'll just be going... | Neutral 50 | Ha! Just having some fun with you, waster. No harm done, right? What can I do for you? | 11 |
| HVRangerIntroPowGangNot | I'm not a powder ganger. | Neutral 50 | Exactly what powder ganger scum would say! Any last words before I pull this trigger? | 12 |
| HVRangerIntroPowGangNot2 | I'm not a powder ganger! | Neutral 50 | Relax, son. Just pulling your leg. What can I do for you? | 13 |
| I'm not a powder ganger! | Neutral 50 | Relax, little lady. Just pulling your leg. What can I do for you? | 14 | |
| HVRangerIntroSpeech | Keep pointing that gun at me and I'll stick it up your ass. | Neutral 50 | [SUCCEEDED] Ha! Got some stones on you, son. I like that. What can I do for you? | 15 |
| Keep pointing that gun at me and I'll stick it up your ass. | Neutral 50 | [SUCCEEDED] Ha! Got some claws on you, little lady. I like that. What can I do for you? | 16 | |
| Don't point! It's rude! Especially with guns! | Neutral 50 | [FAILED] I'll point my rifle at anything and anyone I please to! Got that, powder ganger? | 17 | |
| HVRangerMessWithRadio | HVRangerMessWithRadio | Neutral 50 | Hey, what are you doing to my radio? | 18 |
| HVRangerMessWithRadio | Neutral 50 | You just had to go messing with my radio again, didn't you? | 19 | |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic000 | So no one knows you're here? | Neutral 50 | Standard practice. Rangers operate on our own most of the time. And that's how we like it. | 20 |
| Neutral 50 | Usually we call in our positions to McCarran to be relayed to other rangers, but I can handle myself. | 21 | ||
| Neutral 50 | I'm sure as hell not going to lose any sleep on account of a goddamn broken down radio. But it will shorten my stay if I can't fix it. | 22 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic002 | Never mind. Let's talk about something else. | Neutral 50 | You're a strange one, aren'tcha? Fine, what did you want to talk about? | 23 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic004 | What are Powder Gangers? | Neutral 50 | Criminal scum that've infested this region, attacking caravans and regular folk just passing through. | 24 |
| Neutral 50 | The dangerous ones are roamers, though there's another group that mostly stays put, over at the prison southwest of here. | 25 | ||
| Neutral 50 | The NCR mounted an attack not long ago but they just used regular troops - no rangers - so that didn't amount to anything. | 26 | ||
| What are Powder Gangers? | Neutral 50 | Criminal scum that've infested this region, attacking caravans and regular folk just passing through. | 27 | |
| Neutral 50 | The dangerous ones are roamers, though there's another group that mostly stays put, over at the prison southwest of here. | 28 | ||
| Neutral 50 | So far the brass haven't mustered up enough men to take the prison back. Long overdue if you ask me. But I'm just one man. | 29 | ||
| What are Powder Gangers? | Neutral 50 | Criminal scum that've infested this region, attacking caravans and regular folk just passing through. | 30 | |
| Neutral 50 | The dangerous ones are roamers, though there's another group that mostly stays put, over at the prison southwest of here. | 31 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Or so they did, 'til NCR brass finally mustered up enough troops to take out the trash. Wish I could've been there. | 32 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic007 | The Brotherhood of Steel has a base inside one of the bunkers here. They sent me after you. | Neutral 50 | {Disbelief, thinks player's crazy} A Brotherhood base? Here? Are you shitting me? No one's seen them for years. | 33 |
| Neutral 50 | I don't suppose you've got a scrap of evidence to support this wild-eyed claim of yours? | 34 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic008 | How about this explosive collar around my neck? | Neutral 50 | I'll be. Let me take a look at that. | 35 |
| Neutral 50 | All this is, is a slave collar. Seen plenty of these infernal contraptions in my day, and I know just how to spring 'em. Hold still. | 36 | ||
| Neutral 50 | There, it's off. Now thing is, a slave collar seems a little too basic for the Brotherhood. | 37 | ||
| Neutral 50 | That's not to say I don't believe you, {but} bu- did you just hear something? | 38 | ||

| Neutral 50 | All this is, is a slave collar. Seen plenty of these infernal contraptions in my day, and I know just how to spring 'em. Hold still. | 40 | ||
| Neutral 50 | There, it's off. Now thing is, a slave collar seems a little too basic for the Brotherhood. | 41 | ||
| Neutral 50 | That's not to say I don't believe you, just that maybe you got your facts mixed up a little. Let's head back to my camp and go over what you saw. | 42 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic009 HVRangerFixedIt | I was just trying to fix it. | Neutral 50 | I've been trying to get that damn thing working for days, and you decided to just start tinkering with it? Let me see that. | 43 |
| [Lie] I just fixed it. | Neutral 50 | [SUCCEEDED] I've been trying to get that damn thing working for days, and you think you fixed it in a few minutes? Let me see that. | 44 | |
| [Lie] I just fixed it. | Neutral 50 | [FAILED] The hell you did. I know enough about electronics to know that what you were doing wasn't fixing it. | 45 | |
| Neutral 50 | So I'll give you one more chance to tell me what you were doing. | 46 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic010 | Nothing, I swear. | Neutral 50 | Okay, but if I find you messing with it again, there'll be hell to pay, you hear me? | 47 |
| Nothing, I swear. | Neutral 50 | Didn't look like nothing to me. Draw! | 48 | |
| Neutral 50 | Just kidding. You weren't doing any harm that I could see. So what do you think? Can it be fixed? | 49 | ||
| Nothing, I swear. | Neutral 50 | Didn't look like nothing to me. Draw! | 50 | |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic011 | Actually, I rigged your radio with a bomb. | Neutral 50 | Well, at least you're man enough to admit it. Now get the hell out of here. If I see you again, it'll be through my rifle's sight. | 51 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic012 | This seems like a bad location for a safehouse. | Neutral 50 | Oh? And in your expert opinion, why would that be? | 52 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic013 {Speech >= 50} | <Lie> Powder gangers use these bunkers as hideouts once or twice a month. | Neutral 50 | [SUCCEEDED] You've seen that with your own two eyes? | 53 |
| Neutral 50 | Goddamn, I knew Cooke's gang passed through these parts 'bout that frequently, but I didn't know they holed up here. | 54 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Be a rude awakening, to find fifteen of those merciless bastards looking down at me snoozing on my bedroll! | 55 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Yep, I'd be better off setting up an ambush along one of their routes to catch stragglers. Thanks for the information. You may've saved my life. | 56 | ||
| Well, criminals come through here. And the storms, they're bad. Right? | Neutral 50 | [FAILED] See now, thing is, I fancy myself a bit of a tracker. And I don't see much in the way of tracks 'round here. | 57 | |
| Neutral 50 | Could say that's on account of the dust storms. But if there were criminals using these bunkers as hideouts, I'd know. | 58 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic014 | Not sure. Just feels bad. | Neutral 50 | I see. Well, I'll take that under advisement. | 59 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic015 | You have to get out of here. | Neutral 50 | Now why would I do that? You see some powder gangers on the approach or something? | 60 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic016 | What are you doing here? | Neutral 50 | Well, I was thinking I might set this bunker up as a safehouse. Between the remote location and the dust storms, I figured it was ideal. | 61 |
| Neutral 50 | Course, seems a lot less remote since you showed up. Plus I haven't been able to get my radio working, and a safehouse's no good without one. | 62 | ||
| Neutral 50 | I reckon I'll stick around awhile, patrol for troublemakers, see if I can get that radio working. | 63 | ||

| VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic017 | Who are you? | Neutral 50 | Dobson's my name. I'm an NCR Ranger, operating out of Camp McCarran north of here. Redding man by birth, though. | 67 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic018 | No, not really. | Neutral 50 | The desert can play tricks on a man's mind. Don't let it bother you overmuch. | 68 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyHVRangerTopic019 | Hey, I fixed your radio. | Neutral 50 | What? Let me see that. | 69 |
| Hey, I fixed your radio. | Neutral 50 | What? That's great. I'll have to check it out when I head back tonight. | 70 |
