1 005C5B24 005C5B9A Let's talk. Maybe we'll both learn something.
2 005C5B9B What can I do for you? Or did you come to lend a hand?
3 005C5B9C Anything you need to know?
4 005C5B9D Have a question? The past has the answers, but I'm not a bad backup.
5 005C5B9F I've always got time for you, Initiate. What do you need?
6 005C5BA0 Well if it isn't my favorite Initiate. How can I help?
7 005C5BA1 Any new deeds to add to your Scroll? The Scrolls list the deeds of each Brotherhood of Steel member
8 005E4B29 Hi Initiate. How're you holding up? Need to talk?
9 005E4B2A Knight Shin may be upset with you, but you'll always have my ear.
10 005E4B2B Paladin Rahmani may be upset with you, but you'll always have my ear.
11 00605C4F I hope Knight Shin is going to be all right. I wish I had more medical training, but it's probably best I leave that to our specialists. Concerned for a friend
12 00605C50 Knight-Errant. It's good seeing you. Oh, and congratulations again on the promotion. Friendly
13 00605C51 Oh, hello, Knight-Errant. Something I can help you with? Friendly
14 00605C52 Everything is running smoothly, Knight-Errant. All things considered, that is. Friendly, slightly joking
15 00605C53 I never thought we'd end up here... The Paladin had always stayed strong in her beliefs... Grieving
16 But I didn't think we'd be put in the position to... Well, I guess we don't need to relive it again. I'm just... feeling a little lost without her. Feeling hurt, alone
17 00605C54 It's good that Paladin Rahmani, or, um, Leila was able to walk away from this unharmed. Grieving
18 I know she's more than capable of looking out for herself... But I hope she stays safe. Slight concern
19 00605C62 I can't help but wonder what's next for Shin. We traveled a long and difficult road together. It's hard to see him off. Missing a friend
20 It's a futile thought, but how different would things have been if Knight Connors was still with us? Missing her mentor
21 00605C63 Losing Shin in that way... I can't get it out of my mind. I'm angry... at myself, I think. Struggling to come to terms
22 His beliefs put us in a position where we had to... well, you know. But I keep wondering if there was no other way. Trying to find an impossible solution
23 (Sigh) To be honest, I'm not sure what to make of it anymore. I think I just... miss him. Missing her friend
24 005C5B25 005C5BA3 Watch your step, it's a mess up here.
25 005C5BA4 Here to lend a hand?
26 005C5BA5 What's the word from the Wasteland?
27 005C5BA6 Something I can help you with?
28 005C5BA7 Staying safe out there?
29 005C5BA8 We're really fixing this place up, don't you think?
30 005C5BA9 If you stumble on any new tech, you know who to bring it to.
31 005C5BAA Don't mind the clutter. Atlas is a work in progress. Atlas = Fort Atlas, the Brotherhood of Steel's base
32 005C5BAB I don't suppose you know how to spot weld?
33 005C5BAC Shouldn't you be waiting in the entryway?
34 005C5BAD If you're going to be walking around up here, at least grab a wrench and help me out.
35 005C5BAE Hello, Initiate.
36 005C5BB0 Need some words of wisdom, Initiate?
37 005C5BB1 Come to help out in the 'shop? 'shop = workshop
38 005C5BB2 Bring any new finds today? The Scribes collect technology
39 005C5BB4 If you're here to join up, you need to go through the proper channels.
40 005E4B30 Thanks for all your help, Initiate. Things have gotten dicey, but we're a Brotherhood. We'll get through it.
41 005E4B31 I'm glad you're with us, Initiate, and sorry you have to see us at our worst.
42 005E4B32 Don't worry about Knight Shin, you know how he is by now. I'm sure he'll come around. At least, I hope he will... Shin is a very angry individual
43 005E4B33 Don't worry about Paladin Rahmani. Her decision may seem rash, but I'm sure she'll correct course soon. At least, I hope she will...
44 00605C4A Hello, Knight-Errant.
45 00605C4B Was hoping you'd still stop by.
46 00605C56 Knight-Errant. Good seeing you.
47 005C5B26 005C5BB9 Calibrate this, tighten that...
48 005C5BBA With all these new Initiates, I may need another Scribe just to keep the Scrolls up to date.
49 005C5BBB Just a few more tweaks, then it's back to working on that Vertibird.
50 005C5BBC How can I find time to study our history with all this maintenance work piling up?
51 005C5BBD We come all the way from California, and here I am fixing broken pipes.
52 005C5BBE I wonder what stories are hiding in the mountains out here?
53 005C5BBF The Scorched Plague... I've seen nothing like it. I wonder if I could get my hands on a sample?
54 005C5BC0 Robots everywhere, but all standard models. Surely there's something more to discover here?
55 005C5BC1 I want to visit Fort Defiance, but I'm not sure I could stand the sight... Fort Defiance is a destroyed Brotherhood of Steel base in the area
56 005C5BC2 I made it, Scribe Takano. I wish you were here, too. Scribe Takano is Valdez's teacher from back home
57 005C5BC3 Too bad this observatory is so busted up. I'd love to look at the stars.
58 005C5BC4 A weapon may keep me safe, but it doesn't make these repairs go any faster.
59 005C5BC5 Ultracite country. Who knows what strange contraptions the old mining firms built here?
60 005C5BC6 To think, of everywhere we've been, this old place may hold the most promise.
61 005C5BC7 I wonder what legacy I'll leave to the Scrolls? The Scrolls are an account of each Brotherhood of Steel member's achievements
62 005E4B38 Those mutants were terrifying. How many more wait out there in the Wasteland?
63 005E4B39 I hope they make up soon... Referring to Paladin Rahmani and Knight Shin
64 005E4B3A We're on our own now, no Elders to guide the way. It's terrifying, but a little exhilarating.
65 005E4B3B It took so much to get here. We can't fall apart now that we've finally made it.
66 I have other questions. 005C5B69 Okay. What do you want to know?
67 005C5BCE I do. Scribes are critical to the Brotherhood's mission. It's a mission I believe in.
68 The work that comes my way can get tedious, or overwhelming. But knowing I'm helping the greater good keeps me satisfied.
69 005C5BCF We're a strong organization with a noble goal. Our methods draw some flak, sometimes, but we're doing the right thing.
70 005C5B2C 005C5B78 What's more, the Brotherhood is my family.
71 Like any family, we can bicker some, though we'd never admit it. But we're there for each other when it counts.
72 005C5B2D 005C5B6B Most days. Coy
73 No way. 005C5B7D Well, I won't force you. But Vault knowledge is special knowledge.
74 We could help a lot of people with whatever's in your head.
75 Of course! 005C5B6E I have a lot to take care of while we get settled in here, but I'll get back to you on this, don't worry.
76 You're lucky. The Wasteland is no place to grow up. 005C5B86 I think you're right, though getting to see the world - even as it is now - is worthwhile.
77 Sounds lonely. 005C5B72 Yeah. It can be.
78 I also grew up in a bunker. Well, in a Vault. 005C5B8D Really? How rare! You'll have to let me interview you sometime. I'd love to know more about the Vaults.
79 I'd like to talk about something else. 005C5B75 Of course. What's the next topic?
80 What do you think of the Brotherhood? 005E4B1F We're a splintered organization with noble goals but competing methods.
81 We're a bickering family, but a family nonetheless. That's why I know we'll come together in the end.
82 What do you think of Appalachia? 005C5B7B Appalachia... Well, it suits our needs well.
83 It has its dangers, but it's in better shape than a lot of America.
84 That means there's a lot of old tech lying around, and in good enough condition for conservation.
85 005C5B7C Appalachia... It's beautiful. I've never seen anything like it. Heartfelt
86 It reminds me of the stories my parents told me of before the War. Hiking in the mountains, playing in the rivers... Heartfelt
87 I think, despite everything, you're lucky, Wastelander. I don't say that lightly. Heartfelt
88 Where are you from? 005C5B71 California, though truth be told I've spent most of my life in one bunker or another.
89 My parents joined the Brotherhood when I was very young, so I grew up in the order.
90 I want to talk about something else. 005C5B89 Sure. What do you want to talk about?
91 Can I become a Scribe? 005C5BB5 Well, first you'd have to join up, and we don't take just anyone.
92 Then it depends on your aptitude. Not everyone has the mind or patience for Scribe work.
93 But ultimately, if you're driven and competent... I don't see why not.
94 005C5BB6 Someday. You have what it takes, I've seen that much. I'd have you promoted here and now, if I could.
95 But the Brotherhood is slow to trust outsiders. You'll have to keep working for it.
96 Be patient, put in your time, and know that I have your back.
97 005C5BB7 Maybe someday, though after my stint as your observer, I think I'd recommend a different role for you in our organization.
98 Why are you called "Scribes?" 005C5B6A We record things. Histories, schematics, every bit of knowledge we can get our hands on.
99 We collect it all, compile it, and keep it safe, like old scholars or monks.
100 Our name hearkens back to that ancient tradition. So that's why we use it.
101 What does a Scribe do? 005C5B7A We're the heart of the Brotherhood's mission to find, catalog, and preserve Pre-War technology.
102 Though sometimes in practice... Well, let's just say I spend a lot of time calibrating things.
103 005C5B4A 005C5B6D I... knew some of them. From a distance.
104 But it's better if we don't get into that now.
105 I'd rather not dig into this. 005C5B7E Probably best if we didn't. Resigned
106 Presumed KIA? Why? 005C5B6F We think the Scorched got them. The last transmissions we got weren't promising, and we haven't had any contact since.
107 Oh yeah, they all got themselves killed. 005C5B87 You mean they died in the line of duty. Bravely. Angry
108 I learned what happened. The Scorched got them in the end. 005C5B73 To be honest, that's what I expected to hear. At least they died trying to make a difference. May they rest in peace.
109 You mean keep it for yourselves. You hoard it. 005C5B97 That's one interpretation, certainly one I've heard before.
110 But my journey here has only reinforced my faith in our mission.
111 We're dedicated and organized. I trust us to do the right thing with the knowledge we gather.
112 A noble cause. 005C5B76 You could say that. You could also say we have no right to keep knowledge to ourselves. That everyone deserves to learn. We get that from time to time.
113 I can see the argument, but I believe in our mission. Nobody else does what we do. If not for us, all that old tech would just rust away.
114 I have other questions. 00613801 Okay. What do you want to know?
115 Who leads the Brotherhood? 005C5B79 The Council of Elders, chief among them High Elder Maxson, our founder.
116 He proclaimed our mission and set us on the path we follow today.
117 Our expedition leader is Paladin Rahmani. She's an aggressive and daring commander who's taken us through many trials.
118 Why did you come to Appalachia? 005C5B6C We're here to help the people of Appalachia, and to catalog any technological discoveries we find.
119 We set up Fort Atlas to that end. This old observatory has a wealth of technology to discover, and is a good staging point for future operations.
120 We also want to learn the fate of the old Appalachian chapter of our order. MIA, presumed KIA. Somber
121 Where did your group come from? 005C5B7F California, all the way across the continent.
122 I've read that people used to fly that distance in a few hours, but the trek took us months.
123 Maybe eventually we'll get flying again, but for now it's an arduous journey.
124 What is the Brotherhood of Steel? 005C5B70 We're an order dedicated to the preservation of science and technology.
125 We find and catalog knowledge from before the Bombs. And keep it safe.
126 I have to get going. 005C5B88 I'll be here if you need anything.
127 Let's talk about you. 005C5B74 About me? What do you want to know?
128 I'd like to ask about being a Scribe. 005C5B98 Sure. What needs explaining?
129 I want to talk about the Brotherhood. 005C5B77 Luckily, I know all about us.
130 I have some Technical Data to give to the Brotherhood. 005C5C52 I can't wait to take a closer look at this. Thanks again.
131 I have some Technical Data to give to the Brotherhood. 005C5C51 You mean to tell me these documents were just lying about in the wilds of Appalachia?
132 If you find any more data like this, the Brotherhood can use it, or at the very least keep it safely filed away.
133 There's another secure cache at Camp Venture you can use, if you're on that side of the neighborhood.
134 Otherwise I will happily take this off your hands.
135 They have some important information, but are asking for information about us in return. 005D7933 Mhm. I think I understand.
136 The funny thing about data is you don't know what's real or not. Not unless you gathered it yourself.
137 To be honest, I was working on encrypting my terminal for this kind of situation.
138 So if anyone accessed it who wasn't supposed to, they would just get false info, and none would be the wiser.
139 I didn't finish, but you can still use the fake data I created. Should be clearly labelled in the files. Just... don't select the wrong one.
140 This is the Raiders we're talking about. It'd be bad news if they got an advantage on us. Worse if the Knight found out it was because of me.
141 I need your help with a situation involving the Raiders. 005D7932 Raiders, huh? If they're anything like the Raiders we encountered on the expedition route, then my guess is the situation isn't pretty.
142 Alright, how can I help?
143 You're a programmer, too? Amazing! 005DB221 Well, you know. Just trying to help where I can. Bashful. "Aw, shucks!"
144 Rusty nails and live wires are fun and all, but sometimes it's also nice to write code without having to get my hands dirty.
145 Are you worried about unauthorized people accessing your terminal? 005DB1F4 It's not likely to happen anytime soon, but an enemy could use our names, skills, and history to trick other members, or develop a targeted strategy.
146 I may also start storing schematics and stockpile records on there. Right now the Knight is doing it all by hand...
147 Well, for now I just hope we don't make too many enemies. I don't expect much from the Raiders, but maybe they're smarter than they give off.
148 Great, thank you. 005DB233 Not a problem. I'm here to help.
149 Actually, nevermind. 005DB1FF I'll just... get back to soldering wires, then.
150 Let's talk about another topic. 005E4B43 I'd be more comfortable with that.
151 I guess we wasted that Ultracite power cell, with the transmitter being destroyed. 005E4B3E It's a shame, but luckily I still have the blueprints and the original. I can make more.
152 And we can always go back and retrieve the one from the transmitter, if we still need to.
153 Let's talk about something else. 005E4B46 Sure thing. What's the next topic?
154 Do you think the Paladin and Knight will be able to reconcile? 005E4B3F It's not the first time they've butted heads, but this does feel different. All of their past frustrations feed into this conflict.
155 The mutant attack does give us a common cause again. I hate to say it, but it might just buy us the time we need to come together.
156 If it doesn't drive us apart even more.
157 Will you be able to revive the Atlas Project? 005E4B42 No, I don't think so. As much as I'd love to, we're too short handed, and I just don't have that kind of expertise.
158 We'll have to make due with learning what we can from the project for now.
159 What do you think of the Super Mutants that attacked? 005E4B48 They're unsettling. They can use human weapons, mount an organized offensive, and they targeted us for an attack.
160 I get the feeling we haven't seen the last of them.
161 What are your plans for the Ultracite power cell we discovered? 005E4B47 I'd like to reverse engineer it and make more, of course. With the amount of energy it can unleash, we could power all kinds of things for a very long time.
162 Think of how far a Vertibird could fly on Ultracite power!
163 How do you feel about Rahmani's decision to destroy the transmitter? 005E4B44 I'm... conflicted. I was raised in the Brotherhood. The Elders gave me my education, my occupation, my life.
164 But Paladin Rahmani gave me freedom. I always wanted to see the world. I jumped at the chance to join her expedition, and she fought to bring me along.
165 Being out here on our own, without contact with home... it's terrifying, but it's also thrilling.
166 I wanted an adventure, and I'm getting that. I wanted to see Appalachia, and here I am. But stay here forever? I don't know about that.
167 I want to talk about what we uncovered in the substructure. 005E4B40 Well, you aren't an Initiate yet, but I guess we can discuss it a bit, since you helped out and all. She shouldn't be discussing sensitive details with a non-Initiate
168 005E4B41 Sure! Always happy to talk tech with an Initiate.
169 Let's discuss the current state of the Brotherhood. 005E4B45 Um, sure. I'll discuss what I can.
170 00605C5C Sure. Honestly, I could use someone to talk to about all that's happened. Sincere
171 Tell me about the incident that split Rahmani and Shin. 005E8B51 Right... Those weapons you've been chasing? We found them in a government facility on our way to Appalachia.
172 We were supposed to keep them to ourselves - that's how we operate - but then we ran across a settlement being threatened by raiders.
173 We couldn't just leave them to die. We equipped them with the weapons we found, but it didn't help.
174 It was a massacre. The whole place was wiped out. Everyone was killed, including Knight Connors, one of our own.
175 The only survivors were two children we brought back with us, Marcia and Max. Marcia pronounced "Marsha"
176 Knight Shin believes it's our duty to report this incident to Elder Maxson. Paladin Rahmani feels we'd be punished just for trying to help.
177 Have you gotten to speak with Dodge from the West Virginia Brotherhood? 005E8C71 Yes! He's quite the interesting guy. He really familiarized himself with the proprietary tech that the West Virginia chapter developed. Positive
178 He's been an excellent source for archiving their research. I'm glad we could give him a safe place to stay after all he's been through. a hint of sympathy
179 How do you feel about how things ended? 00605C57 I'm not even sure where to start... Slight anxiety
180 Honestly, I was hoping you could be in charge. 00605C58 I... don't even know what to say to that. Thank you, I guess? Feels blindsided
181 I appreciate your vote of confidence, but I don't think that was ever a possibility. Still a little confused by the suggestion
182 That type of responsibility... I can't even fathom it. The reality of leadership, and a friend lost starts to set in
183 00605C36 00605C5F With all our talk about being a chain that binds, I'm starting to feel like there was more than just one weak link. Hurt, just doesn't know who to blame, even herself
184 I think all of us strained that connection... It's going to take time to heal, to learn to live with these choices we've made, and where it's led us. It's over, but not hopeless
185 00605C37 00605C64 You've been an exceptional friend through this, no matter where we ended up. I'm lucky to have you... Knight-Errant. Grateful to have a friend
186 00605C65 Thank you for talking with me about this. I know we didn't always see eye to eye, but you've been a good comrade, Knight-Errant. Slightly hesitant thanks
187 We need to move on. There's no time for regrets now. 00605C66 Even as a scientist, I'm not sure I can see things so objectively. But there's certainly truth in needing to move on. Feels bad the player can't be more understanding
188 All the more reason we need to lean on each other for support. 00605C5E Yes, I think you're right. All we can do is move forward... together. Brightening up
189 00605C41 00605C5D You know, through all this I kept wishing that Knight Connors was still here... Having the right thing to say... The right thing to do. Misses her mentor
190 But I think it's time I stopped hoping for an easy solution, and started being that person myself. Gaining confidence
191 00605C43 00605C67 The fact that this all had to come at the cost of a friend's life isn't something that will ever leave me, though. Crushed
192 I wish I could have done more... Said more... Searching for an impossible solution
193 00605C68 I really believed we could come out of this together... I keep wondering where it went wrong, what I could have done differently. Blames herself. An undertone of "at least no one is dead"
194 Actually, let's talk about something else. 00605C60 Of course, what's on your mind, Knight-Errant? Neutral
195 How is the new science team doing? 00605C61 They are extremely knowledgeable. To a frightening degree sometimes. Impressed, but worried
196 There's a real chance that we land on something truly groundbreaking... Something that can save lives. Hopeful
197 The Paladin has assured me that I'll have oversight on their work... and their practices. Changing the subject toward something darker
198 But I'd be lying if I said I'm wasn't worried about them pursuing the more "efficient" methods they're accustomed to when I'm not looking. Unsure of the future
199 How are things with Knight Shin in charge? 00605C5B Well, I don't want to say, er... draconian. Maybe... scrupulous? Careful with wording
200 I'm likely to wear out my thesaurus trying to dance around it: it's pretty damn tough, honestly. Trying to make the most of it
201 It's impressive to see him lay out a plan and stick to it, but he asks a lot of the Initiates. Growing concern
202 I suspect we'll shed a few as the months go on, but there's a good chance we come out stronger for it. Trying to see the positive
203 As for where he'll lead us in the future... Only time will tell. Unsure, but trying to be optimistic
204 [Flirt] Scribe, I think there's something wrong with my heart... It's beating too fast. Can you repair it for me? 00605C59 Are you-? I'm... You must be contagious, because now I'm blushing. Taken a back, heart aflutter. Emphasis on "I'm" blushing
205 It may take me awhile to figure out how to fix that for you. My specialty is more... mechanical. You know, Ultracite batteries and damaged Pip-Boys. Being flirty, the "fix" part is facetious
206 The human heart is a whole different beast. But I'm not one to turn down a challenge. Committing herself to this bit
207 00605C5A Are you-? I'm... I'm flattered, but I don't think we're a match. Some gears just don't fit together, you know? Yikes
208 Is there anything else I can do to help out? 00605CA1 Now that you mention it, there's a new initiative that I'm leading. Pleased to hear
209 We have a team infiltrating an up and coming branch of Raiders called the "Rust Eagles."
210 They're an offshoot of the Blood Eagles that have a fanatical obsession with robot modifications.
211 Keep an eye out for an alert from Initiate Pappas. He'll be recruiting assistance up at their "Metal Dome."
212 My understanding is that it can be pretty dangerous, so hopefully we can provide him the reinforcements he needs.

1 005B79EC 005B79F0 So how about it? Help me out and I'll put in a good word with the Paladin.
2 005C2F3E Good, you're here! Leading into a longer conversation
3 005C2F3F That should be enough to start. Let me take a look.
4 005C2FED Alright, let's go over the inspection results.
5 005C427E Phew. Whatever you did up there, the security system sure didn't like it. Thanks for the backup. I doubt I could have handled that on my own.
6 Now that that's over with, let me take a look at what you've collected.
7 005C6CBC Ready to start our little expedition?
8 005C91D8 Hello civilian. I don't mean to be rude, but what exactly are you doing up here?
9 005D86CF Just look at this place. So much tech in one spot, I can't wait to dig in!
10 005D86D0 We really need to get a team down here to get things cleaned up.
11 005D86D1 I wish we had the people to get this stuff up and running again.
12 005D86D2 I'm glad you agreed to come along. All I get as a Scribe is this dinky pistol. Hardly a match for any mutant critters that sneak in.
13 005D86D3 Finally, real Scribe work!
14 005D86D5 I'm leaving the extractions up to you. Use a light touch, alright?
15 005D86D6 Interesting. I can see now how the machine's underlying construction lends itself to these misalignments we read about...
16 005D86D7 I can trust you to extract those components we discussed without any trouble, right?
17 005D86D8 No wonder the intake valves are under so much stress, with that design...
18 005D86D9 What is this thing? Examining a mysterious, glowing component sticking out of a machine (the Ultracite Battery)


19 Deal. 005B79EF Glad we could come to an agreement.
20 005D2AD9 Didn't even have to think about it, did you? Bemused
21 Let me give you a quick rundown of the mission before we start.
22 I'm ready to go. 005C2D31 Great! Unfortunately, I need to finish up a few things here. Head downstairs and I'll meet you in a bit.
23 005C2D23 005C2D35 Any questions before we start?
24 005C2D24 005C2D2F We need to keep a cool head and investigate this thoroughly.
25 005C6CBD Hey, if this is normal in Appalachia, then we'll be sticking around here a long time.
26 005C6CBE Can I do it? Yes. But it's not my life's calling.
27 005C7636 Really? Then your research acumen must rival my own. Bemused
28 And how did you like reading all those terminal entries?
29 005D2ADA Our new base is littered with old technology, but there's something in particular I want to investigate.
30 It's down in the bowels of this place, a part of Atlas that we've cordoned off. I'm not keen on going alone, so I'd like some backup.
31 005D80D4 Let's continue our discussion. Now where were we? Oh, right.
32 Got it. Let's go. 005C2F40 Should be a simple inspection, so you can have point, but I'll be looking over your shoulder the whole way.
33 Take note of the details and we'll discuss how it goes after.
34 Reading is easy. 005C2F3D Yet you'd be amazed how many people refuse to do it.
35 005C2F3B 005C2F3C So, how do you feel about reading for comprehension? I was hoping to start by sweeping the area for documentation left behind from before the War.
36 I'm good to go. 005C2FEC I'm counting on you. Let's see what you can do.
37 005C3D57 005C3D58 Oh, I thought of one more thing. Can you pick up the induction coil up there on the machine core?
38 They say Ultracite has unlimited potential. 005C427F "The fuel of the future." I'd heard the stories, but to think I could hold so much energy in my hands like this...
39 005C4AD1 005C4B11 And what's this?
40 Hmm... This is... is this Ultracite? Fascinating. This looks like some kind of compact power source.
41 None of the documents, none of the terminals said anything about this. Did this power the whole machine?
42 005C4AD2 005C4B24 The induction coil seems fine. That's a relief.
43 005C762F The induction coil isn't looking so hot. Hopefully it's salvageable.
44 005C7630 The induction coil has seen better days. Much better.
45 005C4AD3 005C4B15 The ion focus looks usable. Impressive!
46 005C7632 The ion focus is banged up. I'll have to get some of the dents out of it.
47 005C7633 The ion focus is completely wrecked. That's bad. This is a critical component.
48 005C4AD4 005C4B28 The core processor is pristine. Good work on that.
49 005C7627 The core processor is out of commission, but I think a little elbow grease will get it working.
50 005C7628 The core processor is totally fried. There's no fixing this one.
51 005C4AD5 005C4B19 The pressure gauge looks like it's in good condition.
52 005C7634 The pressure gauge looks a bit bent out of shape.
53 005C7635 The pressure gauge is totally warped. I don't know if I'll be able to read much from this.
54 005C4AD6 005C4B2C Okay, well sorry about the pop quiz. But in general, you're handling yourself well, so far. Pleased
55 005C7623 Alright, well sorry to spring the quiz on you. I can tell you weren't prepared, but you'll need to think on the fly if you want to be Brotherhood.
56 What do I need to know about the ion focus? 005C4B1D A very important and technical component. It helps force particles into a beam that the machine could fire to affect the weather... somehow.
57 Could take a bit of manual dexterity to pry loose without any damage.
58 Tell me about the core processor unit. 005C4B0D The "brain" of the machine. It's the component that coordinates all of the others.
59 It should be slotted into a terminal somewhere. May take a little technical know-how to extract, but nothing you can't handle, I'm sure.
60 Why the pressure gauge? 005C4B20 You saw what happened when we tested the release valve.
61 I want to examine the stress on the gauge. That could tell us if all that built up pressure was normal or an anomaly.
62 Oh, and you may have to pry it off, but be careful about it when the time comes.
63 005C4ADD 005C4B10 I want to take some notes on the core up there, so I'm going to leave the parts removal to you.
64 Each extraction will be a little different, but in general you'll want to use a light touch. I want the components in good condition, so please be careful.
65 Any questions, or are you ready to get started?
66 005C4ADE 005C4B23 I'm worried about what our inspection turned up. There are a few parts I'd like to extract and examine in my lab.
67 There's the pressure gauge, the core processor, and the ion focus. They should be upstairs.
68 There's a lot I can learn from examining them, if we can pull them out and get them back to my lab in decent condition.
69 005C4ADF 005C4B14 Last but not least, the wiring. The wires were...?
70 Completely chewed through. Mole Rats are the prime suspect. 005C4B27 Yep. I think the warm reception they gave us also points to that.
71 Charred to a crisp. Power overload, I think. 005C4B18 Looked like bite marks to me. I didn't see any evidence of a fire or short circuit.
72 Everything's in fine working order. Should start right up. 005C4B2B Fascinating theory, but I think the mangled wires tell a different tale, personally. Heavy sarcasm
73 005C4AE6 005C4B1C "ATLAS Decommission Report..." Hmmm... So the project was in bad shape after all? I knew it sounded too good to be true... Fascinating.
74 Wow, this is some seriously classified stuff that I just let you read, isn't it? I wasn't supposed to show you any of this.
75 You can say that again. What on earth is the "ATLAS Project?" 005C4B0B Well, Knight Shin did send you, so I guess I can trust you with a little information... Relieved, sarcastic
76 I'm not here to pry. I just want to help. 005C4B1E That's a mature attitude to take. I really appreciate that. Relieved
77 [Charisma 8+] Now that you've let this much slip, you may as well give me a full explanation. 005C4B0E I guess you're right... Uncertain
78 If all Scribes are this dumb, I'm not sure I want in the Brotherhood after all. 005C4B21 Hey. I made a mistake, but don't put that on the whole organization.
79 005C4AEF 005C4B12 Now let's follow up on some leads from this report. I'd like to do a quick inspection of some key components that should be nearby.
80 There should be a terminal around here. If it's still running, we can do a diagnostics check. That will tell us about some of the less accessible hardware.
81 The report mentioned that the machine's intake pump was under a lot of pressure. Let's find the release valve for that and give it a spin, see what happens.
82 Finally, the lower core on this level should have a wiring box. We should take a glance at that to get an idea of the electrical hookups.
83 What are we looking for in the diagnostics test? 005C4B25 The diagnostics test can tell us the state of some key components that we won't be able to test manually.
84 Keep an eye on the state of each component. We'll want to look into them after the initial check.
85 How will we know if the release valve works properly? 005C4B16 The release valve is an emergency mechanism that can relieve pressure on the intake pipes if they come under stress.
86 If all is well, we'll just be able to turn it and nothing out of the ordinary will happen.
87 What will the wiring tell us about the machine? 005C4B29 Think of the wires like the blood vessels of the machine. Without the electricity running through them, nothing's going to work.
88 We just need to do a little checkup and see what condition they're in.
89 005C4AF6 005C4B1A The diagnostics check revealed some issues.
90 Flux disruption in the induction loop, intake valves ruptured, and the ion focus...?
91 Misaligned. 005C4B0C Misaligned. Problematic, to say the least.
92 Defunct. 005C4B1F Misaligned.
93 Decelerated. 005C4B0F Technically true, since it shouldn't be accelerating itself at all. But "misaligned" is the answer I was looking for.
94 Truth be told, I really wasn't paying attention to that. 005C4B22 You'll need to going forward, if you're going to be a productive member of the Brotherhood.
95 005C4AFF 005C4B13 Next, we have the release valve. That went... well, what was your assessment?
96 Working as intended. 005C4B26 If you consider that "working as intended," then sorry, but I have to question your competency there.
97 It released pressure, so... ok? 005C4B17 Not ok. Explosive decompression is not what we were looking for.
98 It exploded. 005C4B2A It certainly did. I'm going to mark that down as "bad."
99 Totally aluminumized. Completely platinum glazed. 005C4B0A I don't even know what that's supposed to mean. Exasperated
100 005C6C85 005C6CC1 Believe it or not, I didn't choose to be a Scribe. I was born into it.
101 My parents chose this life for me. I've gotten used to it, but it isn't mine.
102 I... Ugh, Knight Shin would throw a fit if he'd heard how unprofessional I just was.
103 We should get back to business. Sorry. Business only. Flustered
104 005C6CC2 But we've already been over that. Let's talk about something else.
105 Let's go back to discussing the mission. 005C6CB2 Sure. Ready to go?
106 Can I get a look at those logs you were talking about? 005C6CBF Not as a civilian. However, if Paladin Rahmani lets you join our ranks, then I might reconsider. Especially if you're a big help on this mission.
107 Why not just bring one of the Initiates? 005C6CB4 Normally, I would. But today you came along.
108 We have a lot of capable Initiates, but we could always use more.
109 Handle yourself well and I'd be happy to vouch for you.
110 Is this kind of thing normal for a Scribe? 005C6CB6 Ideally? Yes, actually. In practice? Not at all.
111 We're supposed to be the lore keepers, preserving old technology for the betterment of today.
112 Instead, I spend all my time soldering wires on busted comms equipment or tightening screws on tracking scanners. Irritated
113 This investigation will be a breath of fresh air. It's what being a Scribe should be about.
114 I need time to prepare for something like this. 005C6CAD No problem. I have to wrap something up myself.
115 Why don't you head downstairs when you're ready, and I'll meet you there?
116 I have a few more questions. 005C6CB8 Alright. Fire away.
117 Let me think about it. 005C6CAC Alright. Don't strain yourself. Playfully
118 You'd better not go back on your word if I decide to help you out. 005C6CB9 Well aren't you the trusting one? Disappointed, judgmental
119 I'm Brotherhood. I'll keep my promise. No need to worry about that.
120 005C7600 005C7625 Here. Take this letter to Paladin Rahmani.
121 She'll make the final call on letting you into the Brotherhood, but my rec may tip the scales.
122 I'm going back upstairs to take a look at these components. I need to catalog our findings.
123 If nothing else, this Ultracite battery has piqued my interest. There's a lot I could learn from reverse engineering it.
124 I'm giving you access to my private terminal, too. It has all the logs we recovered from when we moved in.
125 After what we just went through, I think you deserve to know more about Project ATLAS. Take a look if you get some free time.
126 Thanks again for your help. And good luck with the Paladin.
127 005C7601 005C7629 You were a big help. I'm sure you have what it takes to be an Initiate, and soon.
128 005C762A Well, thanks for your help. This Ultracite battery is an interesting find, at least.
129 I can't say you have the skill-set to be a Scribe, but there are other paths an Initiate can follow. You know your way around a firefight, at least.
130 005C7602 005C761E Project ATLAS may be beyond our power to repair, but we might have something here.
131 I expected the machine to use a small reactor's worth of energy. They condensed that into a container I can hold in my hands. I could do a lot with this.
132 You're the expert. You tell me. 005C762C I don't see another explanation. And if it did, this could be an important find for the Brotherhood.
133 Is that so hard to believe? 005C7620 If it wasn't staring me in the face right now, I'd say it sounded pretty far-fetched, yes.
134 It was tedious. So tedious. 005C762E But you kept going anyway? I can empathize. Laughs
135 I loved every second of it. 005C7622 Well then it sounds like you're perfect Scribe material!
136 It was alright. 005C7631 Just alright? How anti-climactic. Disappointed
137 No, I was just joking. 005C7624 Backing down, are we? Disappointed
138 (Lie) Millions. I've read millions of terminals. 005C7637 To think I've been outdone! Bemused, skeptical
139 I've read dozens. 005C762B Dozens? Fascinating. Bemused, sarcastic
140 Reading paperwork? Yuck. 005C761F It's a necessary step. The files from upstairs led us here, but this area is relatively unexplored.
141 The scientists could have recorded information that we need to know before we start examining the machine itself.
142 I'm an expert. On Terminals especially. 005C762D Oh? You've read a lot of terminal entries, then? Bemused
143 [Intelligence 4+] Reading the schematic is a good first step in the problem solving process. 005C7621 Are you trying to get on my good side? Because that's how you get on my good side. Amused
144 005C91D4 005C91DA Paladin Rahmani makes the call on new recruits, but the Knight and I have some influence.
145 It just so happens I'm in need of someone to help me out on a little "mission."
146 If you're interested, I can bring you along and put you to work. Do a good job, and I'll send a recommendation your way. How about it?
147 I helped out that Shin guy. He said to talk to you about getting in on this Brotherhood action. 005C91D7 Did he now? Knowing Knight Shin, I'm guessing that's not exactly how it went down.
148 But if you're a prospective Initiate, then I guess we're both in luck.
149 I want to join up. Knight Shin said you may need some help. 005C91D9 Oh, a prospective Initiate? And Knight Shin sent you? Then I guess we're both in luck.
150 005C9218 005C9220 That doesn't sound good.
151 005C9219 005C921F Huh? What was that?
152 005C921A 005C921E Interesting...
153 005C921B 005C9221 Looks like we've got company!
154 005C921C 005C9226 Whoa! Are you ok? Reacting to an explosion; really alarmed
155 005C921D 005C9223 Here's one.
156 005C9224 This looks like what we need.
157 005C9225 Here's a document.
158 005D08ED 005D08EF Well that didn't sound good...
159 005D08F0 Something sounded, uh, off there.
160 005D08F1 I'm beginning to wonder if I was right to trust you with this.
161 005D08F2 You doing ok over there?
162 005D08F3 That extraction go ok? Because it doesn't sound like it.
163 005D22CC 005D22CD This must be Dr. Hammond, ATLAS's lead scientist. We recovered some of his Holotapes and logs in our initial sweep of the area. Somber
164 This tech down here is his handiwork, and he couldn't give it up, even after the War. Somber
165 I should make arrangements for a proper burial.
166 Why didn't you mention this before we started? 005D80D0 We run a tight ship in the Brotherhood, or at least we're supposed to... All of the information we collect is distributed on a need-to-know basis.
167 I was hoping we could get through this without you needing-to-know, but I guess that was too much to ask.
168 You should have told me we were looting a military base. Now I'm even more on board! 005D80D7 Whoa, whoa whoa. "Looting" is absolutely not what we're doing here.
169 Everything of worth that we remove from this substructure is going with me up to my lab to be cataloged and analyzed.
170 Thanks for filling me in. 005D80D1 I did ask you to help, after all. It's only fair you're prepared for what you might find.
171 Some "discussion." You already knew what answers you wanted. 005D80D8 A fair point.
172 We have a saying among the Scribes: "Through discourse, we gain strength." This wasn't discourse. It was a test. I can't blame you for being upset.
173 I wanted to see if you would pay attention, and I have my answer now. Sorry if I angered you.
174 I wasn't expecting a test. 005D80D2 Nobody does, outside of a classroom. That's why I love to evaluate new prospects this way.
175 If I'm going to recommend you to Paladin Rahmani, I need to know you're serious. Can you pay attention? Think on your feet?
176 If you can, you earn my favor. If you can't, then maybe I reconsider my recommendation.
177 005D80C8 005D80D3 But enough about that. I'd like to get started. Let's head downstairs and see what we can turn up.
178 I didn't so much as glance at the documents, if we're being honest. 005D80CE So much for your "reading comprehension." Still, Knight Shin did trust you enough to send you my way, so I guess a little explanation wouldn't hurt.
179 005D80CB 005D80D5 As you've just discovered, the technology we're investigating was built by the military, not astronomers.
180 Their "ATLAS Project" was advanced. Very advanced. And I doubt we can revive it ourselves. Even if I understood the nuances, we're too understaffed to try.
181 But it's my duty as a Scribe to pick it apart and learn as much as I can. That's why we're down here now.
182 005D80D6 There's only so much I can tell you, but I'll share what I feel is relevant. Atlas wasn't just an observatory before the War. That was just a front.
183 The military conducted research here. Pretty advanced research. We're down here to investigate, and see what's worth salvaging for the Brotherhood.
184 005D86CA 005D86CC That does it for the inspection. Let's talk.
185 005D86CB 005D86CD I think this is good. Let's talk for a sec.

# Dialog Topic Form ID Response Text Script Notes
21 005DC527 005DC543 My residents must have had a good reason to open all those cells at the time.
33 005DC532 005DC91A Sorry you had to see that.
53 005E7C0F Have you talked to the others recently? I've been trying to get a moment with them, but things are still so busy. Seems our time slots never align.
54 005EA05D Ready to track down that signal?
57 005DC906 005DC91B Let's get down to business, shall we?
58 If we can find the source of the signal I detected, we should be able to use it to send a message to Elder Maxson on the west coast.
59 I tracked the signal to an area northwest of Vault 76. You'll need to go and check it out in person.
60 Maybe you'll get lucky, but... I suspect the source of the transmission won't be easy to find.
61 Devices that can transmit at this frequency are rare. The only ones I know of were built at advanced military facilities.
64 005DC909 005DC90C Paladin, Knight, you'll want to hear this.
65 I picked up a low-frequency signal in the area. It's weak, but I'm close to narrowing down the coordinates.
66 If we can find and boost the source of that signal, we might be able to use it to get in touch with California.
73 What's going on with Rahmani and Shin? 005E48EC After all you've done for us, I suppose you deserve an answer.
74 Their relationship has been... rocky, since a certain incident on our journey here. It's kind of a sensitive topic for everyone.
75 I thought they'd be able to work things out over time, but it's only gotten worse. I'm honestly kind of worried.
76 But... maybe contact with Elder Maxson will get them back on track. I hope it does.
77 Why is Shin so concerned with contacting Elder Maxson? 005E48E9 It was one of our orders. After setting up in Appalachia, we were to re-establish contact, make a report, and receive our next assignment.
78 It's not that the Paladin has directly disobeyed that order, but... she's been more focused on helping Appalachia.
79 Being in that position, as the leader of this whole operation, I can't even imagine how much she has to think about.
80 I'm just trying to support both her and the Knight as much as I can. And hopefully get them back on the same page.
81 Why couldn't we use some other transmitter? 005E48F0 Because other transmitters don't reach that far. The one they were using at Fort Defiance is out of commission, permanently.
82 But low-frequency signals - like the one I'm detecting - they travel incredible distances, even passing through mountains and oceans without a hitch.
83 During wartime, they were used to transmit signals to submarines. Pretty cool, right?
84 You said the signal was weak? Will it still work? 005E48ED I'm glad you asked! It may not work, in its current state. But do you remember what we found in the Atlas substructure?
85 An incredibly powerful, compact, Ultracite battery cell. With one of those, we could easily boost the transmitter back to its full function.
86 Lucky for us, I've just managed to reverse engineer the cell. Let's think of this as its final test.
87 I'll find the transmitter. 005E48EA Stay safe out there. We'll be right on your tail.
94 005E48E8 005E48EF My... apologies, Paladin.
95 The Knight kept talking about Elder Maxson's orders, so I set up a signal tracer to run in the background. It was my own initiative.
185 Actually, I'm busy too. Gotta go. 005E7C04 What I wouldn't give for a moment of peace at Fort Atlas. Maybe someday.
186 As a matter of fact, they just sent me to come get you. 005E7C10 Then it's my lucky day. Come with me.
195 Who's Elder Maxson? 005E8054 Oh, have we not explained that to you yet? It should have been part of your Initiation...
196 Guess we just haven't had a chance to slow down. Sorry about that.
197 Above the Paladins are the Elders. And leading the Elders is High Elder Maxson.
198 He's the one who founded the Brotherhood, and decided to send us on our mission here.
203 I can't do this right now. 005EA05A Okay. Come back to me when you're ready.
204 005EA059 005EA05B Okay. I'll be in my workshop, when you're ready. Awkward. A bit embarrassed that Rahmani and Shin just argued in front of the player

2 005D951F 005D98A0 Good, our Initiates held, and the barricade's still standing.

11 005D9520 005D9524 Hurry!
12 005D9521 005D9526 Please, before it's too late!
13 005D9523 005D9525 Atlas is under attack. These big... mutant people blew a hole right through the wall of the substructure and came pouring through! Urgently trying to convey this info
14 005D9893 005D98A4 What's gotten into all of you? This is no time for bickering. Look, I think there's a way we can make the plan a success.
15 I have some explosive charges. I was waiting to plant them as our last line of defense, but maybe we can put them to better use.
16 If we go into the tunnels and find their points of entry, we can destroy them, and prevent any more mutants from attacking.
17 005D9894 005D98A2 A little longer? Wha- Never mind. That can wait. Here are the bombs. I'll stay here and do what I can for the wounded. Wants to ask more, but realizes there are more important things to do right now
18 005D9896 005D98A1 Good luck, I believe in you. All of you.
22 005E48F6 005E496C She did what, now?
23 005E496D Paladin Rahmani's leadership has taken us this far, and she does truly care for all the people we've met along the way.
24 Still, I can't help but wonder if her aggressive tactics and trusting attitude will invite trouble without the structure of the Elders to temper her.
25 005E496E Knight Shin believes strongly in the Brotherhood the Elders have built, and for good reason.
26 It's given order to all our lives, and its mission is critical to the revival of humanity. Still, he fosters an oppressive and isolating mindset.
27 I can't help but wonder if the order will evolve into a detached and selfish one with people like him at the helm.
29 005E583A Back to what we were discussing...
32 005E48F7 005E493A It's clear this rift won't heal easily. There's too much animosity between those two now.
33 I still believe they can come together in the end, though. I plan to do everything I can to make that happen.
34 We've been through a lot. I need some time to think. Ad Victoriam, Initiate. Until next time. Ad Victoriam is the Brotherhood's signature phrase
35 Yeah, they're both nuts. I'm speechless, too. 005E4963 They each have beliefs so strong they'd die for them. Those passions drive them forward, but leave no room for compromise.
36 005E4902 005E4946 I... Don't know what to say. Paladin Rahmani has always butted heads with the Elders, but cutting ourselves off entirely?
37 And I've never seen Knight Shin behave that way toward a superior officer. His rage has taken complete control of his senses.
45 005E4910 005E4940 Okay... What happened? You've been at each other's throats since you returned, I should have known something was wrong.
59 005E4924 005E496F Unlikely. Hostiles have been hitting in waves for hours now. Our scouts - the ones who've returned - reported the tunnels crawling with mutants.
69 "Big mutant people?" You mean Super Mutants? 005E495E If that's what they're called, it's a fitting name, but I'm really not worried about semantics right now.
70 All I know is that they were very big, very green, and very good at using weapons.
71 The other Initiates are pulling their weight for once? I thought I did all the work around here. 005E494F How could you say such a thing? Appalled at the player's callousness
72 So are we just going to stand around, or are we going to go kill some mutants? 005E493F Please go kill them. That is why I called you back here. That IS why I called you back here.
73 005E4934 005E4962 Dozens of mutants, I couldn't get a good count. We fought them back into the substructure and set up a makeshift barricade.
74 We're holding them below for now, but it's only a matter of time before they break through.

26 005F3905 005F72CC Hey, have you seen Marcia around? Girl with black hair and the spirit of youthful rebellion? Worried, slightly frazzled
73 Nevermind that. Knight Shin wants you to find the origin of this Pip-Boy. 005F72CD Knight's orders? I'll prioritize it, but we really should have someone out looking for Marcia. Reluctant
74 You know what? You're right here. If you don't have another assignment from Knight Shin, then I could really use your attention on this.
75 I'm going to run a diagnostic on this Pip-Boy. Talk to me as soon as you're available. I'm pretty worried.
243 What's all this about Marcia, anyway? 00603933 She hasn't been at Fort Atlas for a little while. Normally I wouldn't be so worried, but...
244 The truth is, she's not the only one. We've been hearing about people going missing all across Appalachia.
245 Her little brother was asking about her, too. 00603953 That means you haven't seen her, then? Drat. I was really hoping... Nevermind. Just let me know if you see her.

# Dialog Topic Form ID Response Text Script Notes
1 005F59C3 005F59CF Are you available now to look for Marcia? She could be in trouble.
2 005F5DC0 Welcome back, Initiate. I see that Marcia has returned, and in brighter spirits than before.
3 I don't know how you managed it but... great work.
9 005FAD05 Please, tell me you've found out where Marcia's gone. desperation
16 00603180 Welcome back, Initiate. What do you have to report? I see that Marcia is not with you, is she okay?
24 Why is this important? 005F59CC This is one of our own who's gone missing.
25 Despite her resentment towards the Brotherhood, I've come to consider Marcia a friend.
26 I know that life hasn't been easy for her at Fort Atlas, and I'd hate to think that something has happened to her.
27 Think of it as doing a favor for me.
28 Who is Marcia again? 005F59CB Marcia is the eldest of the two siblings that we encountered on our journey to Appalachia.
29 There was... an incident that resulted in the death of their mother.
30 Paladin Rahmani decided that we should bring them along with us instead of leaving them alone.
31 What do you need me to do? 005F59D0 First, start by talking to her younger brother, Max. He might have an idea of where she's gone.
32 I'm going to remain hopeful that something didn't happen to her, or anyone else who's missing. If something did happen while she was in our care...
33 Let's not worry about that just yet.
34 005F59CA 005F59CD She was supposed to make a trip to Foundation, but a group of Initiates recently returned from there and nobody remembers seeing her.
35 Initiate Ramirez believes that she joined the Raider War Party. 005F5DBF The Raider War Party?! Oh no, that's not good at all. The Raiders are dangerous, she could get herself hurt, or worse.
36 I knew that she was frustrated with the Brotherhood but I never thought she would just leave.
50 Marcia decided to stay with the Raider War Party. 005FAD0A I didn't actually think that you would fail. Poor Max, first he loses his mother, and now Marcia is gone.
51 Not to mention who knows what information she will be able to share with the Raiders.
52 We're going to need to be really careful going forward.
113 Why is she so frustrated? 00601D6C Marcia has a lot of...strong feelings about what happened to her mother. Some of them fair, some of them misguided.
114 Maybe if you get Marcia to open up to you, she'll tell you her side of the story.
115 Since she's not missing, am I done here? 00601D55 No, it's still important that we find her. I can't stand the idea of something happening to her. Paladin Rahmani will certainly feel responsible as well.
116 As for Knight Shin, I fear what he would do if he learned about the potential intel that could be leaked to the Raiders.
117 I'll try to convince her to come back. 00601D41 You read my mind. Thank you, Initiate.
118 Do what you can to get her back.... and be gentle, she's been through a lot.
126 I don't have time for this right now. 00601D32 Please hurry and make the time. I fear the longer we wait, the more her life is in danger.
127 Foundation? Could she be missing from the Super Mutant attack? 00601D4B I did consider that when I first heard of it, but I'd rather remain hopeful and investigate further.
141 I found some research notes at AMS. 00603178 AMS? Those headquarters had been a point of interest for the Brotherhood for a long time.
142 I see Marcia was not shy in sharing our intel, Shin is going to freak when he hears of this.
143 Very interesting research on the effects of heated ultracite on the human body. Horrendous that they were performing these secret experiments, though.
144 We'll learn what we can from this, thank you.
145 I found out more about the incident. 00603160 I see. I figured you'd hear more about it eventually. Try not to judge us too harshly based on the way Marcia tells it.
146 We did the best that we could in those circumstances.
147 Too many lives have been lost. I feel for Marcia and Max.
148 There was this letter from someone named "B". 0060317A Hmmm...This letter is concerning.
149 While Marcia wasn't missing, it seems that these Hellcat Mercenaries and the Blue Ridge Caravan Company are both involved in the other disappearances.
150 Please, take this to Rahmani as soon as you can. She will want to hear about this.
151 00603130 00603165 Did you discover anything else on your mission?
275 006060F1 00605652 Let's find cover!

# Dialog Topic Form ID Response Text Script Notes
3 005F5A4E 005F5E99 Wow, it's freezing in here! Look at all this ice...the environmental controls must be damaged.
7 005FACE1 The card doesn't work?
12 00605FD6 What can I help you with, Initiate?
25 One survivor, but I couldn't save her. Said they were working for Blackburn. Then Blood Eagles arrived and overran them. 005F5E94 Blood Eagles? What are they doing here?
26 Looks like Paladin Rahmani was right - there's a link between the abductions, Blackburn, and the Super Mutants.
27 We still need to figure out what.
28 005F5E6C 005F5E96 What happened here? Those are Hellcat Company uniforms, right?
29 It looks like a massacre!
30 Blood Eagles got here before we did. Wiped the mercs out. The Blood Eagles are still inside. 005F5E98 Well, that's going to complicate things.
31 If the Hellcats were here already, then Blackburn, the abductions, and the Super Mutants are all tied together somehow.
81 What now? 005FACE6 If he's changed the codes for the door, we're not getting through normally.
82 I knew a lot of Knights that would probably try to blow up the door, but I think we can do better than that.
88 005FACBF 005FACDE Blackburn must've overwritten the door codes. Probably guessed the looters might find a keycard eventually if they had the run of the place.
89 Can you do anything? 005FACE0 From here?
90 If I had more tools, time, and some schematics? Sure.
91 Under the circumstances, we'll have to get creative.
101 005FD57B 00605FD7 Let's get back to it.
108 005FD57D 005FD5BA You'll take point.
109 Based on other Vaults we found crossing the country, the Vault should have an emergency transponder.
110 Once you've secured the entrance, the controls for the transponder are usually there near the main door.
111 Activate it to give the all clear and I'll follow you in.
113 You sure you're ready for the fieldwork? 005FD5C5 Of course. We've crossed the country on foot and fought Raiders and more.
114 A Brotherhood Scribe's life isn't all manuscripts and microscopes.
115 I enjoyed working with you before, but that's a lot of unknowns for two people. 005FD5BD We've made a good team in the past. We can handle it, don't worry.
116 006057CB We'll be all right. If things get too technical, I can step in.
117 So, what's the plan? 005FD5B3 Step one is finding a way in.
118 005FD585 005FD5C8 I've marked Vault 96 on your map. We don't know what we're walking into, or even how we'll get in, to be honest. We'll need to be cautious.
126 How is this related to the abductions? 005FD5BB Well...we're not sure it is.
127 I'm not familiar with Vault 96. Do we know anything about it? 005FD5B1 I wasn't able to find anything, unfortunately.
128 I know every Vault had a purpose, though. Like Vault 76 was meant to house the best and the brightest to rebuild America. Ostensibly.
129 Vault 96 could be anything.
130 Vault 96? Where is that? 005FD5C6 It took a bit of research to locate it, but it's well south of here. I'll mark it on your map.
131 005FD58F 005FD5BE That's right.
132 Remember the Pip-Boy you found in the Uncanny Caverns? It took a while to crack the encryption, but I've unlocked it.
133 It came from Vault 96.
144 005FD5A8 005FD5B2 Let's get moving. I'll follow your lead.
145 005FD5A9 005FD5C7 Hrm. That's not good. The Vault's on internal lockdown. I guess someone's responding to the Blood Eagle attack.
146 If there are automated defenses still working, they'll all be active. We may be facing more than just Blood Eagles. Be careful.
147 005FD5AA 005FD5B5 Give me a moment to look at these terminals.
152 0060363E 006036B2 You know her?
172 0060364C 006036B5 Good thing Shin's not here. I don't think he'd agree to this.
174 0060364E 006036DA I don't think we've got much choice.
175 We're going to need that keycard to bypass the rest of the security doors.
178 00603652 006036DF What are you doing? Shocked and confused, and a little bit scared. Not of the fight to come, but by the bloodthirstiness of the player.
179 00603653 006036BF This didn't have to go like this. Get 'em, boys!
180 00603654 006036AA I can't believe we just got thanked by a Blood Eagle.
181 00603655 006036E4 You've got...interesting friends, Initiate. think of this like a sister trying to be polite about a sibling hanging with the wrong sort of people
182 006036E5 You shouldn't have done that, Initiate. There didn't need to be any more killing. a reprimand - a little angry, but mostly disappointed. Definitely not a raising your voice kind of angry, though.
209 0060366B 006036C1 It's better if they stay here. When we've cleared the Vault, I'll radio Fort Atlas.
210 They can send medics with the recovery team, and get them to safety.
211 0060366C 006036AB I'll leave some food and water for you to share until help arrives.
212 0060366D 006036E7 These doors are hydraulically sealed.
213 If we can find the lines that feed to this door, we might be able to cut the pressure holding it shut.
214 Look for a utility room nearby.


215 0060366E 006036AC This should be it. Take a look. See if you can find the lines to the Overseer's office.
216 0060366F 006036C6 Well, that's certainly one way to do it.
217 The door should be open now.
218 006036C7 Nice work. You might have a future as a Scribe, if you wanted.
219 Let's head back; the door should be open now.
220 006036C8 That'll drop the pressure all right.
221 Okay, the door should be open. Let's go.
222 006036C9 Wow. impressed, but not in a good way
223 One of my tutors called that method "ape dynamics."
224 Hopefully, that did the trick. We should check it out.
242 0060367E 006036BE After seeing what you've done here...I hope Hell does exist.
244 00603680 006036E3 Listening to this is making me understand Shin's point of view.
245 00603681 006036C4 Your "errors" tunneled into Fort Atlas and could've killed everyone! angry
249 00603683 0060369A I don't like the sound of that.
250 00603684 006036CA It sounds like you haven't actually tested your "perfect" virus.
254 00603688 006036D2 You can head out. I'll radio for a team to secure the site and get the prisoners to safety, then bring Blackburn back to the Fort.
255 I'm sure the others are going to have lots of questions for him.
256 Good work, Initiate. I'm glad you were here.
257 00603689 006036B6 What? You can't do anything with it now. We've caught you. You're finished.
258 0060368A 006036A2 Have I given you any reason to believe I have not already taken the necessary action?
259 0060368B 006036DB Okay, that's not good.
260 0060368C 006036BB Paladin Rahmani needs to hear about this immediately.
261 0060368D 006036AF I get where you're coming from, but Paladin Rahmani said it before: you didn't do this.
276 Could you take control away from Blackburn via the mainframe? 00603A3D No. It appears he transferred all main systems controls to the Overseer's office.
277 It's the smart move with the Blood Eagles here.
278 What should we be doing? 00603A42 Our first priority is finding any clues about the missing people and what's been going on here. Anything else can wait.
279 00603A43 We need to get to Blackburn. Paladin Rahmani wants him alive.
280 Any ideas about the security lockdown? 00603A3E As long as Blackburn has control in the Overseer's office, I don't think we can lift it.
281 It might be possible to bypass individual doors somehow. If we found a security key, that'd be a big help.
282 00603A3F Too soon to say. It depends on if we can access any of the Vault's control systems.
283 What are your thoughts about what we saw in the reactor? 00603A41 It's horrible. Deliberately exposing animals...people...to radiation, electrocuting them...
284 It didn't look like it was meant as torture, though it must've been to the victims.
285 He was trying to determine something. I just don't know why.
286 Have you ever seen anything like the cryonics bay? 00603A3B We found a few defunct cryonic storage capsules in bunkers on our way out from California, but never operational.
287 And never anything on that scale! It's no wonder this vault is frozen over; the coolant requirements must be enormous.
288 Let's keep moving. 00603A40 Agreed. After you, Initiate.
289 What's your take on what happened here? 00603A3C All the data I've seen says FEV is horrifying, but he's doing these...nightmarish things thinking he can "fix" it?
290 Everything we've found makes it sound like he knows it's wrong, but has convinced himself it's justified.
291 Even if he could make the FEV beneficial, I could never condone what he's done here.
292 I'm not sure if I hate him for it, or pity him for being so lost.
293 006039E4 006039F5 We're supposed to bring him in alive. Don't forget that, no matter what we've seen here.
294 006039E5 006039F8 When we're done here, we'll have a team check all these pods. There might still be someone alive in one of them.
295 006039E6 006039F7 Oh my god. The smell.
296 006039E7 006039F6 Why would he electrocute and irradiate his specimens? What was he hoping to learn? This seems insane.
297 006039E8 006039EF Now this is an impressive setup. I wonder why they needed so much computing power here?
298 006039E9 006039F4 I guess we've found Dr. Blackburn.
299 Looks like most of this place is locked off. We need to search everywhere, but our options are limited right now.
300 I think that door labeled "Mainframe" is stuck open, though. Let's start there.
335 00605858 0060585D Got it. I was able to use the Pip-Boy's protocols to get the doors open, but it fried the circuits.
336 If we run into any more locked doors, we're going to need another way through.
337 00605859 0060585B Locked? Must be the security lockdown. Let me try something.
340 I've got these circuitry scraps. Would those let you open more doors? 00605BEE Unfortunately, no. The Pip-Boy's systems are pretty proprietary. I'd need to spend a day in a workshop modifying them. Good idea, though!
358 00605FC8 00605FCC Between what we learned at AMS and the journal we recovered from Harpers Ferry, this is big.

14 005FA461 00602C5B I'm afraid Knight Shin might kill the doctor right here!}
15 00602C5C We have to stop Blackburn's associates from manufacturing more of the FEV!
26 00603577 So Knight Shin is gone... I can't believe it.
27 00603578 So Paladin Rahmani is gone... I can't believe it.
34 00604A1A We have to stop these people, before they spread their virus even farther!
35 00604A1B Hello Initi-, er, Knight-Errant. That will take some adjusting to. The player has just been promoted from Initiate to Knight-Errant and Valdez
95 006028D5 006028D8 Please, this argument is getting us nowhere.
101 006029D0 006029E6 If they've already begun producing the virus, blowing the place up could just help spread it.
102 We'll need to be a bit more delicate than that.
110 006029D5 006029E5 No! It could spread for hundreds, maybe thousands of miles!
187 00602BF1 00602C26 That's what I said!
314 It's unfortunate things turned out this way. 00603559 It is, but... at least you and I are still here. Through everything, we made it. That's something we can be grateful for.
315 So don't be a stranger. You have the freedom to go anywhere, but remember, you're a part of our Brotherhood now. You'll always have a home here.
316 006033A5 0060357D Or... for having been, I guess. I'm going to have to get used to talking about her in past tense.
322 Yeah, and we don't have Shin killing the mood around here, either. 00603570 I know Knight Shin wasn't the most lighthearted person to be around, but he had a good heart. Really.
323 Try not to think too poorly of him.
325 006033B2 00603563 Well... both of them would die for their beliefs. At least this way, they can pursue those beliefs separately, rather than killing each other over them.
326 How do you think the Brotherhood will fare with its new leader? 0060356D Things are going to get a lot looser around here. Paladin Rahmani never believed in strict regulations.
327 She's going to focus on recruitment and outreach. Well, if she can find the time.
328 0060356E I think it might start feeling a little more like back home, with the Elders.
329 We're going to have a lot of work to do, to make things safer in Appalachia.
330 Without Paladin Rahmani to counter his priorities, Knight Shin will have a plan laid out in no time.
331 Thanks for everything you've done. 0060357E Don't mention it. As the resident Scribe, it's my job to keep things functioning around here.
332 Honestly, I'd rather they had both killed each other. 0060355C What is wrong with you?
333 To you, they may be just your annoying superior officers. But to me, they're... we were a family.
334 Please don't say something horrible like that again.
335 Until next time. 00603561 Until next time.
344 So what are you going to do now? 0060355A I'm going to keep doing my job. With one officer down, there's going to be a lot of slack to pick up.
345 There's still a lot more I'd like to see out there, but right now, I need to support the Brotherhood.
346 006033C4 0060356C I wanted to be optimistic about their conflict... right up until the end. But the more I think about it, the more I feel like maybe this was inevitable.
347 If only there was more I could have done...
554 [Flirt] None of that matters as long as I still have you. 00605EFF Well that's going a bit far, isn't it? Flustered; completely taken aback
555 But it's a very nice thing to say... Um, thank you. Flustered, doesn't know how to respond
