GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Why don't you wait in the other room while I chat with Silus here?
|
1
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
What is it, soldier?
|
2
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
You stick out like a sore thumb around here. You sure you're in the right place?
|
3
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
You weren't supposed to kill him! Goddamn it. Not only did we not get any information, but now you've ended his suffering, too.
|
4
|
| Neutral 50
|
Shit, guess I can forget about a promotion this decade. Thanks a lot, asshole. {pissed at someone who screwed her over}
|
5
|
| Neutral 50
|
Fuck. What am I going to tell the colonel?
|
6
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Haven't you done enough?
|
7
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Poor guy. He's all tuckered out. Well, I guess we'll have to pick up where we left off tomorrow. Good work.
|
8
|
| Neutral 50
|
I'm sure he'll have had enough after a few days of this. Or if we're lucky, a few months.
|
9
|
| Neutral 50
|
I'll get someone in here to clean up the mess he made. You can head out for the day. Let's let him sleep.
|
10
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
That was fun to watch. I'd have you do it again, but I'd probably get in trouble.
|
11
|
| Neutral 50
|
This'll do the NCR a lot of good, so you should be proud.
|
12
|
| Neutral 50
|
Here's the standard fee, plus I threw in the price of a good show on the Strip. That's from me personally. You can beat up my prisoners anytime.
|
13
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
You did well. I don't know how you did it without putting a scratch on him, and I'm a little disappointed personally, but it saved the NCR some face.
|
14
|
| Neutral 50
|
And it could save us more than that when all is said and done. I'm gonna talk to some people when we're through here.
|
15
|
| Neutral 50
|
This is about double the standard fee we'd give a "consultant," but from what I saw, you're more of an artist. So think of this as your commission.
|
16
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Let's finish this up, then we can talk.
|
17
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
You're back.
|

|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydAnders
|
What else can you tell me about Anders?
|
Neutral 50
|
I don't know him very well, myself. I seem to remember that he was the man to call on if you needed someone to get in and get out quietly.
|
19
|
| Neutral 50
|
Colonel Hsu would really be the person to talk to.
|
20
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydBreakIns
|
Tell me about the break-ins.
|
Neutral 50
|
Maybe break-in isn't the right word. We didn't find signs of forced entry. But I've had reports of someone sneaking into the control tower at night.
|
21
|
| Neutral 50
|
It's probably just a meeting spot for a steamy military base love affair. <Sighs> Kids today. {wryly}
|
22
|
| Neutral 50
|
But it bothers me that they didn't break in. It means they have an access code. Most soldiers around the base don't have that.
|
23
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydContrerasTurnIn
|
I have proof that Sgt. Contreras is involved in criminal activity.
|
Neutral 50
|
That may be the worst-kept secret on the base. I'd be more surprised if you had proof he wasn't involved in criminal activity. {emphasize "wasn't."}
|
24
|
| Neutral 50
|
But if you have proof, you're the envy of every MP stationed here. What'd you find?
|
25
|
| I have proof that Sgt. Contreras is involved in criminal activity.
|
Neutral 50
|
All right. Thanks for telling me. I'm going to have him rounded up.
|
26
|
| Neutral 50
|
Pretty impressive work there. Wish I could keep you around.
|
27
|
| Neutral 50
|
But for helping me nail this guy, I think you should have a little keepsake.
|
28
|
| Neutral 50
|
Here. It's not contraband, but I confiscated it from Contreras last week because he was being smarmy and I was sick of his bullshit.
|
29
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydCplWhiteTurnIn
|
I have an update on Corporal White.
|
Neutral 50
|
I've already talked to Anderson, actually. Came in, confessed, and gave you credit for the whole thing.
|
30
|
| Neutral 50
|
First time I've ever seen anything like that. Was like you'd done him some huge favor. I've gotta hand it to you.
|
31
|
| Neutral 50
|
This Dazzle must be some girl.
|
32
|
| I have an update on Corporal White.
|
Neutral 50
|
Don't tell me. He married the hooker.
|
33
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydMissing
|
Who's missing?
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, there's Anders. He's a Ranger. That one's not suspicious so much as worrisome - he left on a dangerous assignment.
|
34
|
| Neutral 50
|
Colonel Hsu sent him out. Now I think he feels guilty not having any way to check up on him.
|
35
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydThefts
|
You said there have been thefts?
|
Neutral 50
|
Yeah. We keep coming up short on our weekly supply inventory checks. Guns and ammo, mostly. Not the kind of things you like to see go missing.
|
36
|
| Neutral 50
|
No witnesses yet. I've got my money on Sergeant Contreras, who's supposed to be in charge of distribution, the little weasel.
|
37
|
| Neutral 50
|
But he's too slick to let anyone catch him doing it. We've searched his possessions a dozen times. Nothing.
|
38
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic000
|
Who are you?
|
Neutral 50
|
Not big on reading nametags, huh? That's okay, my name is long and difficult to pronounce. Ready for it?
|
39
|
| Neutral 50
|
It's Boyd. Lieutenant Boyd to my friends. Colonel Hsu has me handling the policing duties for the base.
|
40
|
| Neutral 50
|
I've told him he could make my job a whole lot easier if he would just let me shoot anyone who talks back to me, but you know how colonels can be.
|
41
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic001
|
Do you need any help?
|
Neutral 50
|
No, I've got this one. I don't think he's going to have much information of value, so I'm just tormenting him for fun. Thanks, though.
|
42
|
| Do you need any help?
|
Neutral 50
|
Yeah, so far this has gone exactly as expected - poorly. But with the work you've done for NCR already, you might be just what I've been looking for.
|
43
|
| Neutral 50
|
We captured an honest-to-God centurion of Caesar's Legion recently.
|
44
|
| Do you need any help?
|
Neutral 50
|
Sorry, this is state business, what I'm working on. You'd have to do a lot more NCR ass-kissing before they'd let you help me with this one.
|
45
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic002
|
Have you noticed anything suspicious lately?
|
Neutral 50
|
Now what kind of MP would I be if I didn't notice anything suspicious?
|
46
|
| Neutral 50
|
I've had soldiers go AWOL, break-ins, thefts, you name it.
|
47
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic004
|
Let's talk about something else.
|
Neutral 50
|
Suit yourself.
|
48
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic006
|
I'll keep an eye out for your missing supplies.
|
Neutral 50
|
Good. The more guns you can recover, the more I'll be able to use to shoot Contreras for being inept.
|
49
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic007
|
Why don't you just beat your prisoner senseless?
|
Neutral 50
|
I like the way you think. Have I said that yet?
|
50
|
| Neutral 50
|
Problem is that the NCR frowns on using that sort of tactic. There are some restrictions still in place from President Tandi's administration.
|
51
|
| Neutral 50
|
But here's my favorite thing about you - you're not {emph} in the NCR. Plus, for all this guy knows, you're completely insane. That's a winning combination.
|
52
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic008
|
What about a truth drug?
|
Neutral 50
|
Don't have anything like that. Sounds nice. Like the kind of thing I'd want to take home and use on my husband.
|
53
|
| Neutral 50
|
But even if we did, I don't know that I'd be comfortable using it. If there's any risk of overdose, it's not worth it. Asshole's too valuable.
|
54
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic009
|
Have you tried calling him hurtful names?
|
Neutral 50
|
Yes, and one time I thought I saw a tear when I told him his uniform was unflattering. But I think he just got some dust in his eye.
|
55
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic010
|
Okay. Let's get started.
|
Neutral 50
|
That's the spirit. Okay, I'll go in and have a word with him. Then I'll call you in.
|
56
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic011
|
I'm not interested in doing that right now.
|
Neutral 50
|
You sure? You're missing out. Well, you're always welcome, if you should change your mind.
|
57
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic012
|
He wants you to increase water flow to Freeside. Said it'd be lost otherwise.
|
Neutral 50
|
Man, that guy's got water on the brain. Knows more about water pipes than any man should.
|
58
|
| Neutral 50
|
If he says we're losing water, I think the colonel would listen to that. I'll talk to him about it.
|
59
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic013
|
He was killed by a man named Anderson he caught stealing water from the NCR.
|
Neutral 50
|
Anderson. I've heard of him, if it's the same guy. Water nerd from the Followers of the Apocalypse. Used to handle some of the operations for OSI.
|
60
|
| Neutral 50
|
I don't know what to think about the Followers. The things they do... hard to say if they're helping or hurting sometimes. Especially in Freeside.
|
61
|
| Neutral 50
|
I'll have to send some people out there to make sure we don't lose any more water. That stuff's like gold out here.
|
62
|
| He was killed by a man named Anderson he caught stealing water from the NCR.
|
Neutral 50
|
But you. I owe you for this. You saved me a lot of work. And I'm sure Corporal White's family will be grateful to at least get some closure.
|
63
|
| Neutral 50
|
The MPs keep a bunch of junk around that's confiscated off of people who decide to screw with us.
|
64
|
| Neutral 50
|
I haven't really sorted through it, but go ahead and see if there's anything you can use in there.
|
65
|
| Neutral 50
|
We keep it in a trunk across the hall, by the prison cells.
|
66
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic014
|
A gang called the Scorpions murdered him. A man named Anderson witnessed it.
|
Neutral 50
|
Shit. That's why you don't go wandering off looking for some call girl on the Strip without telling somebody first.
|
67
|
| Neutral 50
|
Anderson. Is that Followers of the Apocalypse Anderson? {emph. "followers of the apocalypse" - trying to clarify which Anderson we're talking about.}
|
68
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic015
|
Never mind.
|
Neutral 50
|
Okay, well let me know if you find out anything.
|
69
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic016
|
Anyone else missing?
|
Neutral 50
|
Yeah. The man I'm more interested in is Corporal White.
|
70
|
| Neutral 50
|
White had a lot of promise. Wanted to be a ranger as bad as anyone I've seen. But he also had some extracurricular activities going. Now he's gone.
|
71
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic017
|
I hacked into his computer and found evidence that he's selling NCR guns.
|
Neutral 50
|
Little bastard. I'm sure some of those find their way into the hands of our enemies, too.
|
72
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic018
|
No, nothing else.
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, that's a shame about Corporal White. He knew better than that.
|
73
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic019
|
He admitted to manufacturing and selling chems.
|
Neutral 50
|
He's trafficking chems? I don't know how he thought he could get away with that. {stunned for first sentence. second is more of an aside, like muttering to yourself "what an idiot."}
|
74
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic020
|
Would you be willing to give me the control tower access key so I can check it out?
|
Neutral 50
|
Sure, if you want to investigate. It's not like there's anything to steal up there. Just a bunch of old communications equipment.
|
75
|
| Neutral 50
|
If you can find out any more, I'd be interested to hear it.
|
76
|
| Neutral 50
|
There's something about this I really don't like, and if I weren't tied up here I'd be staking it out personally.
|
77
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic021
|
I object to the use of violence against prisoners of war.
|
Neutral 50
|
Aw, tear my heart out, why don't you? Well, maybe you can find a way to play with his mind - get him out of his comfort zone.
|
78
|
| Neutral 50
|
People lose their heads and say things they regret. Especially if they underestimate you. This dickhead would underestimate a nuclear missile.
|
79
|
| Neutral 50
|
Plenty of ways to skin a cat, as they say. Hey, what if we skinned him? Bet he wouldn't be so smug then. {getting jazzed about her idea with the sentence that begins "Hey." emphasize "then." Last sentence is said while chuckling slightly in a self-amused }
|
80
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic022
|
Is that a big deal?
|
Neutral 50
|
Better believe it. Everybody, everybody in Caesar's Legion from Caesar on down will kill themselves before they can be captured.
|
81
|
| Neutral 50
|
They're so twitchy they'd probably do it if you reached out to hug them.
|
82
|
| Neutral 50
|
But here's this guy who's an elite commander in their army and he just gives himself up, even as his men are slitting their own throats around him.
|
83
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic023
|
What do you think it means?
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, I don't know about you, but to me that sounds like a man who's willing to cooperate. Except he hasn't.
|
84
|
| Neutral 50
|
Only times he speaks up are to insult you. He's a real prick, by the way. And I'm supposed to get information out of this guy.
|
85
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydTopic024
|
So you want me to do what you can't.
|
Neutral 50
|
I think if you rough him up enough and really put some fear into him, he'll sing like a choir boy.
|
86
|
| Neutral 50
|
So let's do this. When you're ready, I'll go in and give you a little intro. Then I leave the room and you make him regret the day he was born.
|
87
|
| Neutral 50
|
We go back and forth a couple of times until either he talks or he can't move his jaw anymore. Either way we've had our entertainment for the day.
|
88
|
| VFreeformMcCarran2LieutenantBoydWhiteWash
|
I'll see what I can find out about Cpl. White for you.
|
Neutral 50
|
Word around the base is he'd been going regularly to visit a hooker named Dazzle at Gomorrah. That's a casino on the Strip. Classy place. {Classy place is sarcastic. The place is a dump.}
|
89
|
| Neutral 50
|
His belongings are up in the barracks in the concourse building. First bunk on your left if you're facing in from the center.
|
90
|
| Neutral 50
|
I haven't had a chance to look through his things yet, so that might be a good place to begin.
|
91
|
