GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
You're back. When you walked off in the middle of our people's story, I thought you must be bored.
|

|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
You killed Mother Pearl! Get out of here, outsider!
|

|
Neutral 50
|
You killed Loyal! Get out of here, outsider!
|
3
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
You're the outsider! Mother Pearl sent word that you'd be stopping by. You must be eager to hear the story of our people!
|
4
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
I heard about what you've done around here, and I have nothing to say to you, outsider.
|
5
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
People around here are a bit upset with you, outsider, but I think there is hope for you yet.
|
6
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
I've seen the bomber! It's... spectacular. The mural is coming true - thanks to you!
|

|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Were you interested in hearing the story of our people any time soon, perhaps?
|
8
|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Now that you know the story of our people, you must have all sorts of questions!
|

|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
How can I help you, Outsider?

{Narrating} Without organized leadership, the remaining Boomers slowly drifted away, leaving Nellis Air Force Base to be flooded by prospectors and scavengers.
|
11
|
| Neutral 50
|
All of the Boomers' accumulated knowledge quickly scattered, and their existence slowly faded from memory.
|
12
|
| VEndingBoomers
|
Neutral 50
|
{Narrating} After the battle of Hoover Dam, the NCR mounted several campaigns against the Boomers, but all were quickly ended by the Boomers' artillery.
|
13
|
| Neutral 50
|
{Narrating} Over time, as the Boomers found a need for gun powder, they developed a relationship with the Gun Runners, trading their surplus crops for munitions.
|
14
|
| VEndingBoomers
|
Neutral 50
|
{Narrating} Mr. House showed little interest in the Boomers and left them to themselves in Nellis.
|
15
|
| Neutral 50
|
The tribe remained fortified in Nellis with their backs to the world.
|
16
|
| VEndingBoomers
|
Neutral 50
|
{Narrating} The Boomers defended themselves against many attacks from the Legion, but they eventually fell to the Legion's superior numbers.
|
17
|
| Neutral 50
|
The Legion enslaved the Boomers and erased any memory of their existence from the wasteland.
|
18
|
| VEndingBoomers
|
Neutral 50
|
{Narrating} With little law left in the wasteland, the Boomers continued to defend themselves against the prospectors and scavengers invading their territory.
|
19
|
| VEndingBoomers
|
Neutral 50
|
{Narrating} With the help of the Gun Runners, the Boomers developed a healthy trading relationship with the NCR.
|
20
|
| Neutral 50
|
Eventually the Boomers began wandering out into the wasteland, while still preventing outsiders from entering Nellis.
|
21
|
| VEndingBoomers
|
Neutral 50
|
{Narrating} Mr. House showed little interest on the Boomers, who eventually began venturing out of Nellis to meet and trade with travelers.

{Narrating} Cautious after the Boomers' display of power at Hoover Dam, Caesar chose to leave the Boomers alone.
|
23
|
| Neutral 50
|
The Boomers remained isolated but have been seen flying over the Mojave Desert from time to time.
|
24
|
| VEndingBoomers
|
Neutral 50
|
{Narrating} Though the Wasteland became anarchic after Hoover Dam, the Boomers' display of power dissuaded fortune seekers from attempting to penetrate Nellis.

|
Who are you?
|
Neutral 50
|
Me? I'm Pete, Keeper of the Story.
|
26
|
| Sad 80
|
I know I seem kind of young. I was the apprentice Keeper of the Story until a couple months ago, but ol' Keeper Don, well...
|
27
|
| Neutral 50
|
Whiskey and land mines don't go together. So it's up to me. I bet you want to know everything about us!
|
28
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic001
|
I'd like to know all about your people.
|
Neutral 50
|
Wonderful! I'm sure you've noticed the mural on the wall of this hut. Shall I tell you what it all means?
|
29
|
| I have some questions about your people's history.
|
Neutral 50
|
Ask away.
|
30
|
| I'd like to know all about your people.
|
Neutral 50
|
Anything else you want to know?
|
31
|
| I'd like to know all about your people.
|
Neutral 50
|
Other questions you want to ask?
|
32
|
| I'd like to know all about your people.
|
Neutral 50
|
What else I can tell you?
|
33
|
| I'd like to know all about your people.
|
Neutral 50
|
I wish everyone were just as interested in our story as you are! Maybe I should act out the battles or learn how to throw my voice...
|
34
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic003
|
Could you me tell the story of the mural again?
|
Neutral 50
|
You want to hear it again? Of course! I did a good job the first time, huh?
|
35
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic004
|
Goodbye.
|
Neutral 50
|
Goodbye.
|
36
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic005
|
Sure, I can spare the time.
|
Neutral 50
|
Excellent. Imagine - you're the first outsider ever to hear our tale! <clears throat>
|
37
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic006
|
Another time, maybe.
|
Neutral 50
|
If you're interested in knowing more about us, it seems like you'd be pretty amazed by the mural. Is there something else?
|
38
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic010
|
I'm surprised Nellis was empty when your people found it.
|
Neutral 50
|
Several atomic warheads detonated here hundreds of years ago, leaving the base highly radioactive.
|
39
|
| Neutral 50
|
The savages of the wastes, ignoramuses, all avoided Nellis by habit.
|
40
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic011
|
How do you survive, totally cut off from the world?
|
Neutral 50
|
Nellis is a completely self-sufficient community! We draw water from Lake Mead, solar arrays provide power, and we grow our own crops!
|
41
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic012
|
Why did your ancestors leave the safety of a vault?
|
Neutral 50
|
So you know about the vaults! Yes, we lived in one of those. Ours was numbered 34.
|
42
|
| Neutral 50
|
In our vault, everyone had guns - but the overseer wouldn't let you fire off any of the really fun ones.
|
43
|
| Neutral 50
|
I guess all the little pops and bangs at the firing ranges just got boring after a while!
|
44
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic013
|
What are howitzers doing at an Air Force Base?
|
Neutral 50
|
You're right, they weren't here when we discovered Nellis! We found the guns at a huge weapon depot called Area 2, many miles from here!
|
45
|
| Neutral 50
|
It took many weeks to drag the guns and their ammunition back to Nellis - and it was the last time any of us set foot beyond our homeland!
|
46
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic014
|
How has Nellis taught your people to fly?
|
Neutral 50
|
Once we restored power, we learned that some elaborate chairs we'd been sleeping in were actually virtual reality simulators.
|
47
|
| Neutral 50
|
We believe they were used to train combat pilots. We use them extensively. I alone have shot down over 500 Chinese Xian-85 fighters! {Xian = shee-ahn}
|
48
|
| Neutral 50
|
Before you ask, I'm afraid there's no way you can be allowed to use the simulators. They are for our use only. Sorry.
|
49
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic015
|
How did you learn where to find an old bomber?
|
Neutral 50
|
Loyal found a file somewhere on the base, with magazine articles, photographs, a map, even.
|
50
|
| Neutral 50
|
It seems that a bomber, apparently the 29th of its kind, crashed in Lake Mead on July 21st, 1948. Just imagine - that's over 300 years ago!
|
51
|
| Neutral 50
|
The photographs showed that it was basically intact, and the map tells us exactly where to find it. Except we haven't left Nellis in decades.
|
52
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic016
|
That's enough history for now.
|
Neutral 50
|
All right. Is there something else you'd like to talk about?
|
53
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic017
|
I'm looking to make myself useful. Who needs help around here?
|
Neutral 50
|
Gosh, there's a lot of folks. Argyll's our doctor - he could use help tending to any injured we got.
|
54
|
| I'm looking to make myself useful. Who needs help around here?
|
Neutral 50
|
Over at the workshop, Loyal and Jack are always building something - though Loyal may not be too happy to see your kind running around Nellis.
|
55
|
| I'm looking to make myself useful. Who needs help around here?
|
Neutral 50
|
Raquel's our Master-At-Arms. I'm sure you've met her. There was a problem with some giant ants a while ago. She might want you to look into it.
|
56
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic018
|
Your people were willing to risk it all for freedom.
|
Neutral 50
|
And at Nellis, we found it. We haven't detonated any atomic warheads since before I was born, but otherwise it's do as you will!
|
57
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic019
|
Yeah, any detonation with a yield of less than a half-ton of TNT is boring.
|
Neutral 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] Exactly! We haven't detonated any atomic warheads since before I was born, but besides that, to heck with nitpicky restrictions!
|
58
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic020
|
Yeah, I *love* it when I throw a grenade and it goes BANG!
|
Neutral 50
|
[FAILED] Um, that's nice, but it's not really the scale of explosion that interests us...
|
59
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic021
|
You people are really crazy about blowing stuff up!
|
Neutral 50
|
Keep that opinion to yourself when visiting Nellis, outsider. It makes you sound ignorant.
|
60
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic022
|
But a little radiation didn't keep your people away!
|
Neutral 50
|
That's right! Our Geiger counter indicated that the base was radioactive, but not dangerously so. Enough time has passed.
|
61
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic023
|
Whereas your people had brought Geiger counters with them from the vault.
|
Neutral 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] That's exactly right! You're very knowledgeable for a sav - an outsider!
|
62
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic024
|
But your people were mutants, immune to the radiation!
|
Neutral 50
|
[FAILED] Uh... no. We'd just brought devices called Geiger counters with us from the vault, that's all. The radiation levels were safe.
|
63
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic025
|
Kind of stupid, making a radioactive scrapheap your home.
|
Neutral 50
|
For your information, our people had brought Geiger counters with them from the vault. The radiation levels here were within safe limits.
|
64
|
| Neutral 50
|
Also for your information, Nellis is not a scrapheap! We repaired most of the damage here long ago. Nellis is comfy!
|
65
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic030
|
The ingenuity of your people is remarkable.
|
Neutral 50
|
Thank you. Our self-sufficiency is a point of pride.
|
66
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic031
|
You must cultivate soy or legumes for protein, in addition to grains.
|
Neutral 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] Indeed we do! Very impressive.
|
67
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic032
|
But where do you get protein? Oh my god! You're all *cannibals!*
|
Neutral 50
|
[FAILED] We are certainly not cannibals! We're not savages, like some people!
|
68
|
| Neutral 50
|
We supplement grains and green vegetables with soy and legumes - that's how we get our protein!
|
69
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic033
|
I guess poor nutrition could explain a lot of your behavior.
|
Neutral 50
|
Our nutrition is not deficient! We supplement our diet of grains and vegetables with soy and legumes for protein.
|
70
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic034
|
Your people are a determined bunch.
|
Neutral 50
|
Yes, there's just about nothing we won't do to get our hands on some explosive ordnance!
|
71
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic035
|
That howitzer battery is a monument to the grit and resolve of your people.
|
Neutral 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] Thank you so much! I'll be sure to pass that on.
|
72
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic036
|
You folks would sell your souls for some artillery! You just love the stuff!
|
Neutral 50
|
[FAILED] I think it would be an exaggeration to imply that our interest in explosive ordnance is at odds with our integrity...
|
73
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic037
|
Yeah, you people are coo-koo for things that go boom.
|
Neutral 50
|
There's nothing wrong with our interest in explosive ordnance. It's kept the savages out. Until today, at least.
|
74
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic038
|
Of course. You wouldn't want outsiders learning to fly.
|
Neutral 50
|
Thank you for being so understanding.
|
75
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic039
|
Oh, to slip the surly bonds of Earth and dance amid the soaring birds...
|
Neutral 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] That's beautiful! Yes, it's exactly like that, so free, so... words can't do it justice.
|
76
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic040
|
Oh, to flap one's arms and plunge bird-like headlong and skybound...
|
Neutral 50
|
[FAILED] Your attempt at poetry, is... uh, beautiful, certainly. But it doesn't really work like that. Flying, I mean.
|
77
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic041
|
Simulators, ha! That's a crash waiting to happen!
|
Neutral 50
|
I can see how you think that, since you don't know what you're talking about.
|
78
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic042
|
I look forward to seeing the old bomber fly.
|
Neutral 50
|
It'll be spectacular, won't it? You should talk to Loyal. I bet you could help.
|
79
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic043
|
You could attach ballast to the plane and then haul it here for repairs...
|
Neutral 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] Yes! In fact, that's exactly what Loyal has planned to do. You should go talk to him!
|
80
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic044
|
I guess you could start the engines underwater and hop it up onto shore...
|
Neutral 50
|
[FAILED] I'm not a mechanic, but after 300 years I don't think those engines would just start up.
|
81
|
| VFreeformNellisNellisPeteTopic045
|
Keep dreaming. That plane's never going to fly.
|
Neutral 50
|
As I said, repairing and flying the bomber is our destiny. It's that simple.
|
