Tell me about

Nicole's Tell-me-abouts
Query	Response
Morpheus	Morpheus is the leader of the Children of the Cathedral. He is evil, and that fact must be exposed.
Nicole	There's not much to tell.
Laura	Laura is one of our insiders within the Cathedral. She's extremely loyal to our cause.
Jake	Jake is second in command.
Library	In here, you'll find historical texts and philosophical texts...almost anything. Feel free to look around.
God	The Children of the Cathedral worship him. They say he only wants to heal humanity, but that's a lie.
Master	I've heard very little about him.
Nightkin	They're the personal servants of Morpheus. They're huge, hulking creatures. Ugh!
Cathedral	You've probably seen their hospitals around. They preach peace, but there is something wrong with them. We need to find out what.
Adytum	It's a small settlement. You'll find it to the west in the Boneyard.
Angel's, Angels, Boneyard	Before the Great War, this was a huge, thriving city. My mother told stories, but there's hardly anything left now. Just ruins and death.
Followers	Our history is in the last case, top shelf.
War	Everything was burned, everything destroyed. We try to teach people peace, so that it will never happen again.
Hub	That's the trading city to the north. We're trying to set up a table there.
Brotherhood, Steel	We're not sure about them. They sell guns, we sell peace. But their motives...
