| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| I see you bear the Mark of {KAI-zar} Caesar! Cursor {Luh-CUL-us} Lucullus awaits you at the docks!
| 1
|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| {KAI-zar} Caesar does not like to be kept waiting. I would find Cursor {Luh-CUL-us} Lucullus quickly and travel to The Fort, if I were you.
| 2
|
| Neutral 50
| He should still be waiting at the docks.

|
| GREETING
| Neutral 50
| {LATIN} {AH-way} Ave. Have you come to sell or trade for captures?

| Neutral 50
| {AH-way} Ave. How goes it?

| VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCCanyonRunnerTopic000
| Could we go lower than 300 caps?
| Neutral 50
| {scoffing} This isn't the total we agreed upon. Don't waste my time, wastelander.

|
| VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCCanyonRunnerTopic002
| By "captures," do you mean "slaves"?
| Neutral 50
| {good-humored} No, no, no - they haven't yet earned the right to be called "slaves"! Those three in the pen are captures, nothing more.
| 7
|
| Neutral 50
| {as though talking about animal training} I'm a Slavemaster, so I know what I'm talking about. Back at the Fort, I'd have those three half-broken and well on their way.
| 8
|
| Neutral 50
| But this is just a holding area, so all I do is assess their fitness and decide whether to send them on.

<SPEECH - player tells CR the daughter has an incurable STD>
| <Lie> Any fool can see that girl has all the symptoms of Pustular Hypomyalgia!
| Neutral 50
| [SUCCEEDED] {alarmed, trouble pronouncing it} Pustulah what? Is that contagious? That doesn't sound good at all!
| 10
|
| But the girl is sick. With classic symptoms of, uh... Vagina Dentata?
| Anger 50
| [FAILED]I think my Latin is better than yours. I inspect all the captives myself, and there was no "dentata."
| 11
|
| VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCCanyonRunnerTopic008
| I can pay you 300 caps.
| Neutral 50
| A fair price. Always best to have caps on hand in case traders stop by.
| 12
|
| Neutral 50
| Here's the key to their collars. You want to take those off before you've gone far, trust me.
| 13
|
| VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCCanyonRunnerTopic009
| I'll give you 150 caps for the lot.
| Neutral 50
| Seems I'm fortunate to get that much for them, given the circumstances! {DUPLICATE?}

| VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCCanyonRunnerTopic011
| It doesn't bother you, enslaving people?
| Neutral 50
| {the player's ignorance is almost comical} Why would it bother me to enslave these wretches? They have no purpose, no creed, no honor.
| 16
|
| Neutral 50
| They live in pitiful squalor, undisciplined, intemperate. To enslave them is to save them - to give them purpose, and virtue.
| 17
|
| Neutral 50
| {Ho-NES-tas, In-DUS-tree-ah, Proo-DEN-tee-ah} Honestas, Industria, Prudentia - even the virtues of slaves are beyond the Dissolute on this side of the river.
| 18
|
| VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCCanyonRunnerTopic012
| I'll come back if I want to buy them.
| Neutral 50
| Please do. An outbreak of {trouble pronouncing it} pustulah-whatever is the last thing we need.
| 19
|
| VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCCanyonRunnerTopic016
| How much would it cost to buy the three "captures"?
| Neutral 50
| It's a weak bunch, to be honest. I'd rather have extra currency to buy supplies or better captures off traders.
| 20
|
| Neutral 50
| There's a boy, too old to be trained as a Legionary. Normally they have to die, but he's too frail to make trouble.
| 21
|
| Neutral 50
| The old woman's dried up, but she could keep house or do gardening - if she can learn to keep her mouth shut.
| 22
|
| Neutral 50
| The girl's the only one of real value, young enough to breed, not hideous to look at. What's your offer for the lot?
| 23
|
| VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCCanyonRunnerTopic017
| Let me think about it.
| Neutral 50
| Let me know if you change your mind.
| 24

| VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCCanyonRunnerTopic019
| How did the Legion set up a camp on this side of the river?
| Neutral 50
| It was easy. The Colorado is narrow here, and when the Profligates abandoned Searchlight, there was no one to guard the crossing.
| 28
|
| Neutral 50
| It's just a small outpost, but we keep busy. Raiding parties go out, new captures come in.
| 29
|
| VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCCanyonRunnerTopic020
| How did you join Caesar's Legion?
| Neutral 50
| {proudly} I have Blackfoot in me, the first tribe that {KAI-zar} Caesar ever led in battle - the tribe that formed the Legion.
| 30
|
| Neutral 50
| If not for him, we'd still be living in tents or shacks, scavenging for food like animals. If we were alive at all.
| 31
|
| VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCCanyonRunnerTopic021
| Goodbye.
| Neutral 50
| {"Wall-ae"} Vale.
| 32
|
| VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCCanyonRunnerTopic022
| Who is Cursor Lucullus?
| Neutral 50
| The best Cursor in the Legion. You'll reach Fortification Hill without incident, that's for sure.
| 33
|
| Neutral 50
| {envious} Wait until you see the encampment, how massive it is. And a personal audience with mighty Caesar - glorious! {KAI-zar}
| 34
|
| VFreeformCottonwoodCoveNVCCCanyonRunnerTopic023
| Do you have any "captures" with the last name, "Weathers?"
| Neutral 50
| {patiently explaining} Captures lose any claim to the names they called themselves when they let themselves be taken.
| 35
|
| Neutral 50
| If they're fortunate enough to become slaves, a new name will be given to them - one they can be proud of.
