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
	How about this explosive collar around my neck?	Neutral 50	I'll be. Let me take a look at that.	39
		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
