| GREETING | GREETING | Neutral 50 | Ah, outsider. I've heard that you were instrumental in providing Hardin with the evidence to bring against me. And here I had thought to use {lightly stressed} you. | 1 |
| Neutral 50 | Have you come to gloat, or did you actually want something? | 2 | ||
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Welcome, outsider, welcome! The lockdown has been officially lifted and everyone seems to be in good spirits. | 3 | |
| Neutral 50 | With the surface open to us once again, Hardin's already started talk of sending a force out to attack HELIOS, but I hope to dissuade him. | 4 | ||
| Neutral 50 | What can I do for you? | 5 | ||
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Hail, Brother. May I help you? | 6 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Greetings, my friend. I hope I can be of some assistance to you. | 7 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | {Getting ready to lift the lockdown} I apologize, outsider, but I'm going to be busy for a little while making preparations for lifting the lockdown. | 8 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | {Annoyed to have to talk to the player again} What is it now, outsider? | 9 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | I'm afraid I don't have time to talk, outsider. I've had word that Hardin is charging me with violating protocol and must prepare a defense. | 10 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Back again, I see. Have you found all the components we need? | 11 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Have you had any luck finding the scouts? Or did you have something to discuss? | 12 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Found the missing patrols, or was something else on your mind? | 13 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | How did you find us, stranger? And do tell the truth. | 14 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | I've been informed that you bring us ill tidings, stranger. Care to elaborate? | 15 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | When Paladin Ramos informed me that Veronica was approaching with an outsider in tow, at first I didn't know what to think. | 16 | |
| Neutral 50 | After giving the matter some thought, however, I've decided that an outsider could be of use to me right now. | 17 | ||
| Neutral 50 | However, I will not force you to help us. Should you refuse, you will be allowed to leave here, though you'd remain Veronica's responsibility. | 18 | ||
| Neutral 50 | What do you say, outsider? Are you willing to help us? | 19 | ||
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | What I wished to discuss with you can wait for once I get settled in the command room, outsider. | 20 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | When you first showed up on our doorstep, I'll admit at first I didn't know what to think. | 21 | |
| Neutral 50 | After giving the matter some thought, however, I've decided that an outsider could be of great use to me right now. | 22 | ||
| Neutral 50 | However, I will not force you to help us. Should you refuse, you will be allowed to leave here, though know we {stressed} will be keeping an eye on you. | 23 | ||
| Neutral 50 | What do you say, outsider? Are you willing to help us? | 24 | ||
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | How did you resolve the situation with the ranger? | 25 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Have you reconsidered, outsider? I can still use your help. | 26 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | {Generic question node} Yes, associate? | 27 | |
| HVMcNamExplainPresence | I was just exploring the area and noticed your patrol coming out of here. | Neutral 50 | You took an extreme risk in coming here. My policy towards trespassers has not been... lenient. | 28 |
| Neutral 50 | The security of this bunker is my foremost concern, and I take pains to minimize our exposure topside. | 29 | ||
| Neutral 50 | For this reason, I might be interested in contracting with an outsider, who can accomplish certain tasks - some basic, some a bit more... involved. | 30 | ||
| Neutral 50 | An NCR Ranger has begun to set up post in one of the other bunkers up top, for example. I want him driven off. Understood? | 31 | ||
| HVMcNamRangerAsk | Why haven't you killed the ranger already? | Neutral 50 | Yes, we could kill him easily enough. But sometimes you can learn a great deal by observing people, both enemies and friends. | 32 |
| Neutral 50 | Which is why it will be very interesting to observe how you choose to deal with the situation, and decide which you are. Enemy, or friend? | 33 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Do we understand one another? | 34 | ||
| HVMcNamRangerDead | The ranger won't be a problem. He's dead. | Neutral 50 | How do you know he won't be missed, that other rangers won't come looking for him? Or NCR patrols? Did you just make matters worse? | 35 |
| HVMcNamRangerDeadSafe | He told me himself that no one knew where he was. | Neutral 50 | Indeed he did. The collar includes a microphone, you see. Part of the test. | 36 |
| Neutral 50 | Had you told him the location of this bunker, for example... well, let's just say we wouldn't be having this conversation. | 37 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Given the circumstances, termination was the best option - so your actions demonstrated loyalty, good judgment, and prowess in combat. | 38 | ||
| HVMcNamRangerDeadSpeech {Speech >= 65} |
It was a calculated risk. Asking questions would have tipped him off. | Neutral 50 | [SUCCEEDED] So you weighed the value of confirming if his location was known against your advantage of surprise. All right. | 39 |
| I'm pretty sure I made things better. I mean, I killed him. | Neutral 50 | [FAILED] What's in doubt isn't your ability to kill. It's your ability to be thorough. Your circumspection, so to speak. | 40 | |
| Neutral 50 | So again, I ask: How do you know that killing this ranger didn't make matters worse, exposing us to greater dangers? | 41 | ||
| HVMcNamRangerFail | I'm not sure. | Neutral 50 | That's right. Because you did nothing to find out. Your collar was rigged with a microphone, you see. Part of the test. | 42 |
| Neutral 50 | It would seem you are a brute, but even a brute can be of use. Particularly one capable of taking down an NCR Ranger one on one. | 43 | ||
| I'm not sure. | Neutral 50 | Since you completed your assigned task, I will allow you to come and go from the bunker freely. So let's get that collar off you. | 44 | |
| I'm not sure. | Neutral 50 | There, that's better, I hope. Now that we have that bit of unpleasantness out of the way, there is a matter that I would like to discuss with you. | 45 | |
| Neutral 50 | Stop by the command room when you can. Oh, and bear in mind, if you end up betraying us, we will know it - and there will be no mercy. | 46 | ||
| HVMcNamRangerGone | The ranger won't be a problem. He's gone. | Neutral 50 | Gone? Why did he leave? And what makes you think he won't be back? | 47 |
| HVMcNamRangerNo | Not interested. I don't do murder-for-hire. | Neutral 50 | I never said the ranger had to be killed. And I wasn't giving you the option. I merely asked if you understood. | 48 |
| HVMcNamRangerYes | I can take care of the Ranger. | Neutral 50 | Very well. I'll be interested to see how thoroughly and efficiently you carry out your mission. | 49 |
| I can take care of the Ranger. | Neutral 50 | Paladin Ramos will escort you back to the bunker's entrance and set you loose. Notice that I said "loose," not "free." | 50 | |
| Neutral 50 | You are not free to carry the secret of this bunker's location beyond Hidden Valley - until I'm convinced that you're capable and dependable. | 51 | ||
| Neutral 50 | To underscore this point, you'll be fitted with an explosive collar. Wander off, and it will detonate. Focus on your mission, and you'll be fine. | 52 | ||
| HVMcNamStorePermission | May I have permission to trade with your armory? | Neutral 50 | Very well. It's to our benefit that you'd be well-equipped. I'll send word ahead. | 53 |
| McNamaraPowerArmorTraining | McNamaraPowerArmorTraining | Neutral 50 | ...There, I think you've got the knack of it now. You should now be able to wear any kind of power armor you come across. | 54 |
| McNamaraPowerArmorTraining | Neutral 50 | I've also given the order that all of our equipment be made available to you, not just the more mundane arms. | 55 | |
| Neutral 50 | You're a member of the Brotherhood now, and your gear should reflect that. | 56 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Lastly, you will be allowed to come and go as you please. You've done so much for us that to do otherwise would be a crime. | 57 | ||
| Neutral 50 | I just ask that you keep the Brotherhood's interests at heart in all your dealings. Remember that you will always have a home here. | 58 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic000 | I'll begin looking immediately. | Neutral 50 | I'm glad I can count on you. Oh, and one other thing. The patrols each had a holotape detailing their missions that you can use to track them. | 59 |
| Neutral 50 | The shielding of the bunker prevents us from actively tracking them, but their positions should show up on your map once you get to the surface. | 60 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Should our worst fears become realized, please bring back all three of the holotapes from the patrols. Otherwise, bring our brothers home. | 61 | ||
| Neutral 50 | I've given the order that you be given access to some of the equipment our scouts and patrols have scavenged over the years. | 62 | ||
| Neutral 50 | You won't be allowed to purchase any prohibited equipment, but hopefully some of what's available will prove useful to you. | 63 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic002 | Yes, here are their holotapes. | Sad 50 | {Solemn} They were all dead, then. I suppose I'm not surprised. We have few friends in the world above, and many enemies. | 64 |
| Yes, here are their holotapes. | Neutral 50 | But we must turn our minds to other matters. When I sent out those patrols, I also sent three Knights out on scouting missions. | 65 | |
| Neutral 50 | When the patrols failed to return, we assumed the worst and sent a single communication to the scouts to hold position and maintain radio silence. | 66 | ||
| Neutral 50 | I want you to contact those scouts and gather their reports. Like the patrols, they have devices on them that will enable you to track them. | 67 | ||
| Neutral 50 | When you find them, tell them you're my representative and ask them if the bears are still hunting. That should get them to talk to you. | 68 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Return when you've gathered all of their reports. | 69 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic003 | No, I've only found one of them so far. Both paladins were dead. | Sad 50 | While that is disheartening news, there remains hope that the other two patrols may still be found alive. | 70 |
| Neutral 50 | See me as soon as you've found them. | 71 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic004 | I've found two of the patrols. All of the paladins were dead. | Neutral 50 | T-That is unfortunate. As long as there is a chance to find the remaining patrol, however, I must still ask you to try. | 72 |
| Neutral 50 | Return when you have found them. | 73 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic005 | No, I'm still working on it. | Neutral 50 | Remain diligent, outsider. If those patrols are in trouble, every second you delay lessens their chances of rescue. | 74 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic006 | I did. Lorenzo's on it. | Neutral 50 | {Relieved, sighs} Good news for a change. Your efforts have humbled me, outsider. You have done more than I could expect, even from my Brothers. | 75 |
| Neutral 50 | Moreover, I've been going over the scouts' reports and keep coming up with the same conclusion. The NCR is not the threat I've believed it to be. | 76 | ||
| Neutral 50 | We should not have had to rely on your help in this crisis. I believed my actions were guided by caution and prudence, but I now see the truth. | 77 | ||
| Neutral 50 | People called me a hero after what happened at HELIOS, but I left that battle scarred by fear, and have allowed that weakness to govern my actions. | 78 | ||
| Neutral 50 | That ends now. I will undo the wrong I have done my brethren, and lift the lockdown. With luck, we will once again flourish. | 79 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Please, take this. It is a small token of my thanks, and scarcely begins to repay the debt owed you, but is all I am allowed to give an outsider. | 80 | ||
| Neutral 50 | This key will allow you to use our safehouse to the northeast. I hope it will prove useful in your travels. | 81 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic007 | I'm still looking for them. | Neutral 50 | Please make all haste in your search. It is imperative that I know the results of his mission. | 82 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic008 | Yes, I did. Here are their reports. | Neutral 50 | Good, let's take a look... Hmmm, if I'm reading this right, it appears that the NCR's grip on this region is nowhere near as firm as I thought. | 83 |
| Neutral 50 | I'll have to review these in detail, but these reports have given me much to think about. Thank you, outsider. | 84 | ||
| Neutral 50 | You've become someone I can count on, so I believe I can share something rather confidential with you. | 85 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic009 | No, not yet. | Neutral 50 | Well, return when you have. | 86 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic010 | I think I already found one of your patrols. Both Paladins were dead. | Sad 50 | While that is disheartening news, there remains hope that the other two patrols may still be found alive. | 87 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic011 | I already found a couple of your patrols. The paladins were all dead. | Neutral 50 | T-That is unfortunate. As long as there is a chance to find the remaining patrol, however, I must still ask you to try. | 88 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic012 | I already found all three patrols. They were all dead. | Sad 50 | {Solemn} I suppose I am not surprised. We have few friends in the world above, and many enemies. | 89 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic013 | Not all of them. | Neutral 50 | Keep looking for them. The information they have is vital. | 90 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic014 {Ask to join the Brotherhood} |
I want to join the Brotherhood. | Neutral 50 | You've certainly earned the right, but I'm afraid there's a slight matter of protocol that must be dealt with first. | 91 |
| Neutral 50 | Exceptional individuals, like yourself, {slightly stressed} are sometimes allowed to join the Brotherhood if they perform a valuable service for it. | 92 | ||
| Neutral 50 | While your actions up to this point have been commendable, I'm afraid they don't quite qualify as such a service. | 93 | ||
| Neutral 50 | However, I do have another task that fits the bill rather nicely. Would you consider undertaking it? | 94 | ||
| Can I still join the Brotherhood? | Neutral 50 | The task I had in mind is still available, if you're up for it. | 95 | |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic015 | Yes, what is the task? | Neutral 50 | As one of our patrols discovered, the mutants just to the northeast have become strangely violent in the years we were secluded. | 96 |
| Neutral 50 | However, this turn of events could also be an opportunity. We mostly left the equipment of the communications array there alone, out of respect. | 97 | ||
| Neutral 50 | As the inhabitants have now proven themselves hostile, no more respect will accorded them. Making their equipment fair game. | 98 | ||
| Neutral 50 | I want you to head up to the summit of Black Mountain and install this remote signal transmitter in one of their consoles. | 99 | ||
| Neutral 50 | It will allow us to tap into the radar and other detection systems running there, assuming they're still operational. | 100 | ||
| Neutral 50 | If we're going to operate on the surface again, it would be nice to do so with as much information at our fingertips as possible. Good luck. | 101 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic016 | {McNamara linked lines} | Neutral 50 | Then allow me to explain our situation. This bunker is currently locked down, allowing no entry or exit, with you being one of the few exceptions. | 102 |
| Neutral 50 | In exceptional cases, teams are sent out to investigate sites or retrieve materials deemed too important to ignore. | 103 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Three such teams have gone missing recently, and the news of their disappearance has not yet been widely spread to avoid undue concern. | 104 | ||
| Neutral 50 | In order to maintain the peace, and adhere to the strictures of the lockdown, I need to send someone else to discover what happened to them. | 105 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic018 | I have better things to do. | Neutral 50 | Then that is your choice. If you should change your mind, please return. | 106 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic020 | Surely you have people better suited to look for them than me. | Neutral 50 | The less who are aware of this situation, the better. My brothers and sisters were deeply traumatized by the losses we incurred several years ago. | 107 |
| Neutral 50 | It would be imprudent to worry them unduly without first discovering the facts of the situation. | 108 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic021 | I was hoping to speak to you about other matters. | Neutral 50 | I can spare a little time. What did you want to talk about? | 109 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic024 | I found one of your patrols out in the waste. Your men are dead. | Neutral 50 | That is sad news, indeed, and I thank you for making your way here to convey it to us, but now the issue remains that an outsider knows our location. | 110 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic025 | Actually, I'd rather just be going. If I could just have my belongings back... | Neutral 50 | I'm afraid that's not a possibility at the moment. Let's just say that your eventual safe departure from here relies on how forthcoming you are. | 111 |
| Neutral 50 | That said, I'd like you to tell me why you're here. | 112 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic026 | No, what I told your man before was the truth. I don't like repeating myself. | Neutral 50 | I applaud your commitment to your own word, though it saddens me to hear of the fate of our comrades. | 113 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic028 | It was a complete accident, I swear. | Neutral 50 | Accident or no, we both now find ourselves in an uncomfortable situation. | 114 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic029 | I convinced him that staying here was more dangerous than moving on. | Neutral 50 | Yes, you exploited his fear of Powder Gangers very effectively. The collar includes a microphone, you see. Part of the test. | 115 |
| Neutral 50 | He'll keep his distance, setting ambushes, never suspecting that these bunkers house something far more dangerous to him than criminals. Well-played. | 116 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic030 | He was going to leave if he couldn't get his radio working. So I destroyed it. | Neutral 50 | I see. And he's not particularly likely to come back, since he's learned that the bunkers here aren't secure enough to serve as safehouses. | 117 |
| Neutral 50 | It's not a foolproof solution, but indirect methods rarely are. What matters is that you drove him off without alerting him to our presence. | 118 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic031 | Just tell me what you want me to do. | Neutral 50 | I would like you to find the components we need to fix this bunker's air filtration system. I cannot overstate the importance of this task. | 119 |
| Neutral 50 | See Senior Knight Lorenzo for the details. He's the one who brought the matter to my attention, and the only other person who is aware of it. | 120 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic032 | Go on. | Neutral 50 | The device that creates the sandstorms above, that masks our comings and goings, was only intended to be used in case of emergencies. | 121 |
| Neutral 50 | It was never meant to be used with any regularity, and the other systems here were not designed to accommodate such usage. | 122 | ||
| Neutral 50 | In particular, the air filtration system simply cannot handle the quantity of sand and grit that it's been forced to cope with these last few years. | 123 | ||
| Neutral 50 | As a result, the system is failing, albeit slowly. I'm told we have scant few months before it shuts down completely. | 124 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Should that happen, it will quickly become impossible to breathe here in the bunker. Already the air quality begins to slightly worsen. | 125 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic033 | That depends on the task. | Neutral 50 | Do not hesitate, my friend. Learn from my mistake and go boldly, one way or the other. | 126 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic034 | On second thought, I'm not really interested in joining the Brotherhood at the moment. | Neutral 50 | Regrettable, but understandable. Should you change your mind, return here. I will hold off on assigning the task to my brethren, for now. | 127 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic035 | I installed the device up at Black Mountain, as instructed. | Neutral 50 | Yes, we've already started receiving telemetry from it. This will be a great help in our future efforts, and I thank you. | 128 |
| Neutral 50 | Now then, it is my great honor to bestow upon you the title of Paladin of the Brotherhood, for meritorious service above and beyond the call of duty. | 129 | ||
| Neutral 50 | I'm afraid a formal ceremony was out of the question given our current state, but I hope this will make up for it. | 130 | ||
| Neutral 50 | I had the knights refurbish a suit of our power armor for your use. It's one of the earlier models, but it should serve you well. | 131 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Now, I suppose I'm going to have to show you how to use it, aren't I? | 132 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic036 | I already know how to use power armor. | Neutral 50 | Would you like to tell me where you learned such a thing? | 133 |
| Neutral 50 | No, don't bother. A person as well-traveled as yourself is bound to pick up all kinds of skills, I suppose. Luckily, that's not all I have for you. | 134 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic037 | Please do. | Neutral 50 | First, let's go over how to put it on... | 135 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic038 | Don't I just put it on? | Neutral 50 | If only it were that simple. Think of power armor as a machine to be operated rather than clothing you'd wear. | 136 |
| Neutral 50 | With a little instruction, using it becomes as natural as simple movement, but to the ignorant, it's just so much heavy junk. | 137 | ||
| Neutral 50 | So let's bring you up to speed, shall we? | 138 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic039 | Tell me about the lockdown. | Neutral 50 | It's a protective measure that was enacted after our defeat at HELIOS. The NCR was hot on our heels, and we wouldn't have survived another encounter. | 139 |
| Neutral 50 | It was decided that we would stay quiet for a time, heal the wounded, and try to come up with a new strategy. | 140 | ||
| Neutral 50 | However, after we had fully recuperated, our first scouting measures showed that the NCR's presence in this region had only increased in our absence. | 141 | ||
| Neutral 50 | There are now more than five times the number of NCR troops in the area as when we fought them, and we have half the number we did at HELIOS. | 142 | ||
| Neutral 50 | And so the lockdown has been extended. To go outside would be the death of us all. | 143 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic040 | How do you get supplies? | Neutral 50 | We have some personnel that are allowed to travel on the surface. They trade for what we need, and occasionally drop off what they acquire. | 144 |
| Neutral 50 | We make sure that they only enter or leave the bunker while the sandstorm is active, to avoid detection. | 145 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic041 | Let's talk about something else. | Neutral 50 | All right. What did you wish to speak about? | 146 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic043 | What is with that crazy sandstorm on the surface? | Neutral 50 | That is this base's defensive system. It serves as camouflage and masks all entry and exit from the bunker. | 147 |
| Neutral 50 | We use it to hide our patrols and supply runners, though we still send such out at night to be extra safe. | 148 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic044 | Tell me about what happened at HELIOS. | Neutral 50 | We were overrun, plain and simple. My Brothers fought with great courage, but in the end the enemy was just too many. | 149 |
| Neutral 50 | When the tide of the battle turned for the worse, our Elder was nowhere to be found, and everything was chaos. | 150 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Fully half of our forces had already fallen. I gathered up those I could find and we fought our way here. | 151 | ||
| Neutral 50 | This place had been briefly discussed as a fallback point, though at the time none really believed that could possibly become necessary. | 152 | ||
| Neutral 50 | That's it, really. There was nothing glorious about the battle, just a nightmare of screams, blood, and death. | 153 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic045 | Did you know Hardin is trying to find a way to become Elder? | Neutral 50 | Oh yes, he's been trying for quite some time. Hardin has been strongly opposed to the lockdown from the first. It goes against his nature, you see. | 154 |
| Neutral 50 | Hardin's the type to fight to the last, and die rather than surrender. It's a good trait to have in a soldier, and a bad one to have in a leader. | 155 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Don't let his actions bother you. He's only doing what he thinks is best for the chapter. | 156 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyNolanMcNamaraTopic046 {Telling about the NCR wanting to destroy the BoS} |
The NCR is currently looking to destroy you. | Neutral 50 | Yes, I've always known they were. Luckily, they don't know exactly where we are. And even if they did, our position here is fortified. | 157 |
| Neutral 50 | And assuming they managed to breach the bunker, I would be forced to activate our failsafe system. | 158 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Better we all die than allow the technology we have here to fall into such unworthy hands. | 159 | ||
| The NCR is currently looking to destroy you. | Neutral 50 | I suppose it was only a matter of time. I wonder if, given the NCR's current situation, they would consider a truce of sorts? | 160 | |
| Neutral 50 | We've given up our claim to HELIOS, and we don't have any interest in claiming Hoover Dam, so our ambitions are not at crossed purposes. | 161 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Perhaps it's time for a new strategy. Go to the NCR commander and tell her the Brotherhood is willing to put aside our enmity for the time being. | 162 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Further, tell her that we are willing to send troops to aid in their coming defense of the Dam. My guess is they're in no position to refuse. | 163 | ||
| VEndingBrotherhood | VEndingBrotherhood | Neutral 50 | {Narrating} Buried beneath tons of rubble, the Mojave chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel was no more. | 164 |
| Neutral 50 | Those few who were outside the Hidden Valley bunker when it was destroyed settled into new lives, or headed west to find a new chapter to join. | 165 | ||
| VEndingBrotherhood | Neutral 50 | {Narrating} During the fight for Hoover Dam, the Brotherhood took HELIOS One, inflicting heavy damage on retreating NCR forces, but it was a pyrrhic victory. | 166 | |
| Neutral 50 | Once The Strip was secured, Caesar's forces overwhelmed and eventually routed the Brotherhood from HELIOS One and Hidden Valley. | 167 | ||
| VEndingBrotherhood | Neutral 50 | {Narrating} The Brotherhood used the battle of Hoover Dam as an opportunity to retake HELIOS One, and came to control the area between it and Hidden Valley. | 168 | |
| Neutral 50 | With no organized opposition, their patrols began monitoring trade along I-15 and 95, seizing any items of technology they deemed inappropriate. | 169 | ||
| VEndingBrotherhood | Neutral 50 | {Narrating} The Brotherhood and the NCR in the Mojave Wasteland declared an official truce, despite continued hostilities between the two in the west. | 170 | |
| Neutral 50 | As per their agreement, the NCR handed over all suits of salvaged power armor and in return the Brotherhood helped patrol I-15 and Highway 95. | 171 | ||
| VEndingBrotherhood | Neutral 50 | {Narrating} Due to their temporary truce, the Brotherhood allowed the NCR to retreat from the Mojave Wasteland without incident. | 172 | |
