Hold up there. This area is locked down by the NCR military until we can dislodge some Legion snakes from Nelson. {player is accepted, liked, or idolized}

Me and Carmine - that's my repeater here - will do our best to cover you from this ridge. Good luck.

{mildly annoyed} Let it wait {'til} until I've stopped running, all right?

GREETING

Disgust 20
|
{confronting} Hold it right there, Courier. I been hearing things about you, and they ain't all been good.
|

|
Neutral 50
|
Just so you know, you {emph} will answer to me if you cause any trouble for the troops around here. Things're bad enough as is.

You're always welcome around the {nickname for camp} Hope, Courier - least as far as I'm concerned.

Howdy. What's the word?

The name's &PCName;.
|
Happy 20
|
Oh, heck, I've heard of you. Supposed to be a regular hero or something, ain't that right?
|
9
|
Anger 5
|
{ribbing the player a bit} But maybe you're a little too... "reputable" to get involved in some dirty work for the Republic.
|
10
|
The name's &PCName;.
|
Happy 15
|
I've heard of you. You're just the kind of person I'm looking for. Not afraid of stepping on a few toes to get a job done. Think you can lend a hand?
|
11
|
The name's &PCName;.
|
Disgust 10
|
Is that so? Can't say I've ever heard a good word about you. Lot of bad ones, though.
|
12
|
Happy 25
|
So why don't you just turn your butt around and scoot back down the road before I blast some daylight through you?
|
13
|
The name's &PCName;.
|
Neutral 50
|
My apologies, but that name and face ain't ringing the old school bell upstairs. Afraid I can't let you through until the "situation" is resolved.
|
14
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic001
|
Don't you have the authority to command the troopers to go into the camp?
|
Disgust 5
|
I'm a ranger. They're troopers. Different branches. I don't have authority over them even though they're as green as a Super Mutant's backside.
|
15
|
Disgust 15
|
{irritated} Besides, they'd probably start crying as soon as they saw the hostages get so much as a bruise. Nope, they don't got the stomach for it.
|
16
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic003
|
Understood.
|
Neutral 50
|
Much obliged.
|
17
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic004
|
You've got five seconds to get out of my sight before I shove that rifle where the sun don't shine.
|
Fear 40
|
{suddenly scared} Son of a bitch!
|
18
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic005
|
I think it's time to knock you down a peg or two, ranger.
|
Neutral 50
|
We'll see about that.
|
19
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic006
|
What needs to be done?
|
Happy 5
|
{sarcastic} If you had a few dozen doses of Psycho on you, maybe we could pep these weepy troopers into charging down into Nelson and taking back the camp.
|
20
|
Neutral 50
|
But since that's not likely, you could help me take out the Legion's trooper hostages.
|
21
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic007
|
Why take out the hostages?
|
Disgust 5
|
The troopers won't go down into the camp with their comrades at risk. Dirty game the Legion likes to roll out whenever they get a chance.
|
22
|
Anger 10
|
Problem is, Ranger {my-low} Milo doesn't want to play. If we take out the hostages, they've got squat for leverage.
|
23
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic009
|
[Psycho] Funny you should mention Psycho. I actually have a few dozen doses on me...
|
Surprise 15
|
All right, I have to admit I wasn't expecting you to say that. I was just joking. But if it makes you feel any better, I am impressed.
|
24
|
Surprise 5
|
{change subjects quicky} So anyway, how about those hostages?
|
25
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic010
|
Sign me up.
|
Neutral 50
|
Good. We clear out the hostages and they lose their advantage. They're down in a clearing, crucified on some telephone poles.
|
26
|
Sad 5
|
I'll cover you from the ridge. Just make it quick. These boys should be put out of their misery, not plinked to death with some old varmint rifle.
|
27
|
Neutral 50
|
And don't get any dreamy notions about playing the hero and dragging those boys out. You'll get swarmed. Now let's go.
|
28
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic013
|
Why don't you try to rescue them?
|
Anger 20
|
Back at {sarcastic} "Ranger School", they taught us not to run headlong into a battle when you're outnumbered ten to one.
|
29
|
Anger 15
|
{"Get real."} You want to go down there and try to haul those crippled boys off those poles, you're dumber than you look.
|
30
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic014
|
I won't do anything dishonorable, if that's what you mean.
|
Happy 15
|
{laughing a bit} "Dishonorable", that's a good one. Okay then, you can just turn around and head back toward Novac or wherever it is you came from.
|
31
|
Happy 10
|
I wouldn't want you to get any dirt under your fingernails or tarnish your good name or whatever the heck you're so worried about.
|
32
|
Neutral 50
|
If you want to do some good, head up to Camp Forlorn Hope. I'll mark it on your map for you.
|
33
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic015
|
Are you interested in cracking jokes or getting something done?
|
Surprise 10
|
[SUCCEEDED] {surprised at the player's spunk} Well, I'll be damned. Looks like you've got some dirt in you after all.
|
34
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic016
|
I can... do bad things.
|
Disgust 10
|
[FAILED] Right. You have trouble even saying the word "bad". Go on, get out of here if you know what's good for you.
|
35
|
Neutral 50
|
If you want to do some good, head up to Camp Forlorn Hope. I'll mark it on your map for you.
|
36
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic017
|
Like I care what anyone says about me. Do you want help dealing with the Legion or not?
|
Neutral 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] Well, I suppose I don't care much, either. At least not enough to turn down an offer for help.
|
37
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic018
|
You're an idiot if you believe everything you hear. You want my help or what?
|
Surprise 5
|
Well, now that you've sweet-talked me...
|
38
|
Happy 15
|
[FAILED] Naw, why don't you just get out of here?
|
39
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic020
|
You may not know me, but I'm no friend of the Legion, and I'll lend a hand to get rid of them.
|
Neutral 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] Fair enough. It's not like any of the troopers around here are jumping up to volunteer.
|
40
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic021
|
Come on. Let me help out. Trust me.
|
Neutral 50
|
[FAILED] That's one of the least trustworthy lines I've ever heard. Sorry. No can do.
|
41
|
Neutral 50
|
If you want to do some good, head up to Camp Forlorn Hope. I'll mark it on your map for you.
|
42
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic023
|
I don't think I can help you. Sorry.
|
Neutral 50
|
That's a shame. Well, let me know if you change your mind or those Legion sons of bitches will be holed up in Nelson for weeks.
|
43
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic024
|
What happened here?
|
Neutral 50
|
Troopers tried moving down from Forlorn Hope because we got this big gap between there and Searchlight. Turns out we were spread too thin.
|
44
|
Neutral 50
|
We took our sweet ass time setting up in Nelson and the Legion managed to hop over the Colorado and attack before things were settled.
|
45
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic025
|
Are there any towns nearby?
|
Neutral 50
|
There's Novac, due west. Just look for the big lizard. They got some decent supplies and a place to stay.
|
46
|
Neutral 50
|
The 188's north on the 95, good for all kinds of trade. Not much south on 95 unless you turn west on 164 to Nipton, right off the rail line.
|
47
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic026
|
Are you in charge here?
|
Neutral 50
|
Nope. I'm just the only ranger around. The rest of the kids here are troopers, inexperienced, out-numbered and under-equipped.
|
48
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic028
|
You sure you don't want my help with the Legion?
|
Neutral 50
|
I sent you packing last time for a reason. Why should I let you in now?
|
49
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic029
|
I changed my mind about helping you with your Legion problem. I'm in.
|
Neutral 50
|
Good. We clear out the hostages and they lose their advantage. They're down in a clearing, crucified on some telephone poles.
|
50
|
Sad 5
|
I'll cover you from the ridge. Just make it quick. These boys should be put out of their misery, not plinked to death with some old varmint rifle.
|
51
|
Neutral 50
|
And don't get any dreamy notions about playing the hero and dragging those boys out. You'll get swarmed. Now let's go.
|
52
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic030
|
I'd really like to help. And what's the worst that could happen, Nelson stays captured?
|
Neutral 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] Good point. Anyway, it's your hide. Guess I should take all the help I can get.
|
53
|
VNelsonNVNelsonRangerMiloTopic031
|
Because no one else is going to help you.
|
Neutral 50
|
[FAILED] Nice speech. Take a hike.
|
54
|
VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic003
|
Anything I can do to help?
|
Neutral 50
|
Maybe. I'd like to know who I'm dealing with, first.
|
55
|
VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic004
|
Do you have time for a few questions?
|
Neutral 50
|
What's on your mind?
|
56
|
VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic005
|
What's the trouble with the Legion?
|
Neutral 50
|
Hell, what ain't the trouble with the Legion? This time, they jumped the camp in Nelson while the troopers were setting up
|
57
|
Neutral 50
|
Captured a bunch of gear and took the town. Couple of troopers too. Got 'em crucified down near the center of town.
|
58
|
What's the trouble with the Legion?
|
Neutral 50
|
{carefully} You're one of them "special" folks, ain't you? They ain't... {searching} real snakes, see? They're Legion soldiers.
|
59
|
Neutral 50
|
I just called 'em snakes because they're low down and sneaky. {beat} Like a snake.{sigh}
|
60
|
Neutral 50
|
Anyway, we always have trouble with the Legion 'round here. This time, they jumped the camp in Nelson while the troopers were setting up.
|
61
|
Neutral 50
|
Captured a bunch of gear and took the town. Couple of troopers too. Got 'em crucified down near the center of town.
|
62
|
VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic024
|
I put the captives out of their misery.
|
Neutral 50
|
Dirty job, but I'm glad you did it. I'm not authorized to reward contract pay, but here's a little something for you.
|
63
|
Neutral 50
|
And I'll let everyone know you did the right thing. Some people might not like it, but no one who matters. At least not as far as I'm concerned.
|
64
|
VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic025
|
Looks like I was able to get a few of the hostages out alive.
|
Neutral 50
|
I have to admit, I didn't think you could do it. Guess that makes me the sap and you the hero.
|
65
|
Neutral 50
|
I'm not authorized to pay for contract work, but here's something for the effort. And I'll make sure everyone hears about what you did. Thanks.
|
66
|
VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic026
|
Nothing new to report on my end.
|
Neutral 50
|
Then head back down into that camp and deal with the hostages.
|
67
|
VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic030
|
Never mind. See you around.
|
Neutral 50
|
Bye.
|
68
|
VNelsonNelsonRangerMiloTopic031
|
I'll be going then.
|
Neutral 50
|
Hey, hold on. Just so you know, if you go down into that camp, one of two things is gonna happen.
|
69
|
Neutral 50
|
Either that little head of yours is gonna sail into the Colorado courtesy of a Legion machete or they're gonna try to make friends with you.
|
70
|
Neutral 50
|
And if I find out you're friends with the Legion, I'll put a lump of lead through your skull soon as you pop it back up over the ridge. Are we clear?
