| GREETING | GREETING | Neutral 50 | You'll find your equipment in the chest to your right. Don't bother coming back until you've dealt with the ranger. | 1 |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Stand back from the door. The Elder's eager to hear your report. | 2 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | [You hear nothing.] | 3 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | {Ramos Greeting for players who found a patrol} Where did you learn that password? And tell the truth, because I'll know if you're lying. | 4 | |
| GREETING | Anger 20 | {Ramos Greeting for players with Veronica} {Stern} Listen up. I'm in charge of security around here, and I can't say I'm too happy having an outsider waltzing around. | 5 | |
| Happy 30 | {Eases up, first part was just for show} But since you came in with Veronica, I'm inclined to cut you a little slack. Just behave yourself and we won't have any problems, okay? | 6 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Oh, and the Elder's going to want to talk to you. He's on the second level. Just take a right once you get down there. | 7 | ||
| Happy 30 | My office is right here in case you need anything. Just ask for Ramos. | 8 | ||
| GREETING | Anger 50 | {Ramos dialogue if player sneaks into the bunker} {Angry, an intruder managed to get past his security} How the hell did you get in here? Normally, I would have already shot you, but I'm under orders to bring you to the Elder. Will you come peacefully? | 9 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Rest up, and make your report to the Elder when you're up to it. | 10 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | If you have something to say, say it to Elder McNamara. | 11 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Your presence here... Let's just say it's highly irregular. | 12 | |
| Neutral 50 | Outsiders aren't even allowed to know that our bunker's here, let alone come and go freely. | 13 | ||
| Neutral 50 | You impressed Elder McNamara, obviously. He must believe that you'll be very useful. | 14 | ||
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Oh, hey there. Something I can help you with? | 15 | |
| HVRamosAskForWork HVAskForWork |
Got anything you need help with? | Neutral 50 | Bored already? You should try living down here. Sorry, but I don't really have- oh, for Pete's sake, not again. | 16 |
| HVRamosBosJoin HVRamosFanboy |
How do I join the Brotherhood of Steel? | Neutral 50 | You don't. Ever. You don't even think about it. | 17 |
| Neutral 50 | Even if we did recruit trespassers, you're far too old for us. Your relationship to technology has already been perverted. | 18 | ||
| HVRamosExplainSneakedIn | I'll speak to your Elder. Lead the way. | Neutral 50 | Okay. I'll take you to him. Follow me. Closely. Or you'll be shot. | 19 |
| HVRamosIntercomHello HVIntercomHello |
Hello? | Neutral 50 | [You hear nothing.] | 20 |
| Is anyone there? | Neutral 50 | [You hear nothing.] | 21 | |
| Anyone home? | Neutral 50 | [You hear nothing.] | 22 | |
| Guess I'll just see myself out. | Neutral 50 | [You hear nothing.] | 23 | |
| HVRamosIntercomPassword | The password is "Lives to fight another day." | Neutral 50 | {Thinks you're from one of the lost patrols} [You hear static.] | 24 |
| Neutral 50 | We were getting a little worried. Where's your partner? No, on second thought, don't tell me. | 25 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Give your report to the Elder, then have the doc look your over. Oh, and welcome back. | 26 | ||
| The password is "Lives to fight another day." | Neutral 50 | [You hear static.] | 27 | |
| Neutral 50 | Stay where you are. I'm sending someone up to meet you. | 28 | ||
| HVRamosLost | Sorry, I just wandered in here. I'm lost. | Neutral 50 | Yes. Permanently, I'm afraid. | 29 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosHELIOSStory | Tell me about what happened at HELIOS. | Neutral 50 | I'm sure someone's told you all this before. Several years back, we were running our chapter out the HELIOS One solar power station. | 30 |
| Neutral 50 | Our Elder at the time, Elijah, had some kind of obsession with the place. Which is the only reason we stayed as long as we did. | 31 | ||
| Neutral 50 | That place was hardly defensible, and we knew the NCR was moving in on us, but the Elder refused to budge, insisting that he just needed "more time". | 32 | ||
| Neutral 50 | We never found out what he needed the time for. Wave upon wave of NCR troopers hit us from all directions. | 33 | ||
| Neutral 50 | We held out for a time, but we were grossly outnumbered, and they had more men than we had ammo. Eventually our positions collapsed. | 34 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Elder Elijah was nowhere to be found, so McNamara took charge and led what remained of us on a counter-offensive west. | 35 | ||
| Neutral 50 | We lost a lot of men and women, but we broke through and made it here. Make no mistake, McNamara saved this chapter that day. | 36 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic000 | I found some of your people dead out in the waste. They had it on them. | Neutral 50 | An interesting story. It may even be true. | 37 |
| Neutral 50 | Under normal circumstances, your story wouldn't make any difference. You'd be dead already. | 38 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Lucky for you - probably - Elder McNamara wants to meet you. So follow me. Closely. Or you'll be killed. | 39 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic001 | Why do you look so spooked? | Neutral 50 | The password you gave is valid, but old. The only way you could have gotten it is from one of our lost patrols. | 40 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic002 | Who are you? | Neutral 50 | I'm the one asking the questions right now, and you still haven't answered me. I suggest you start doing so. | 41 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic003 | Could you just let me go? I really don't care what's down here anymore. | Neutral 50 | That's no longer an option, on account of you having one of our passwords. Now if you'd stop stalling, I'd really like to know where you learned it. | 42 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic004 | The password is "And to dare to do it." | Neutral 50 | {Thinks you're from one of the lost patrols} [You hear static.] | 43 |
| Neutral 50 | We were getting a little worried. Where's your partner? No, on second thought, don't tell me. | 44 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Give your report to the Elder, then have the doc look your over. Oh, and welcome back. | 45 | ||
| The password is "And to dare to do it." | Neutral 50 | [You hear static.] | 46 | |
| Neutral 50 | Stay where you are. I'm sending someone up to meet you. | 47 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic005 | I appear to be lost. I'll just head back the way I came in. | Anger 50 | Not on my watch you won't. You either go with me to the Elder or I put you in the ground right here. Choose. | 48 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic006 | I'm not going anywhere with you. | Disgust 50 | {Sighs} Your call. | 49 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic007 | So you're head of security? | Neutral 50 | That's right. Nothing gets in or out of here without me knowing it. | 50 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic008 | So why did I have to deal with that Ranger topside? | Neutral 50 | Normally, that would have fallen under my jurisdiction, but the Elder thought it'd provide a good test for you, so I backed off. | 51 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic009 | Did you know Watkins and Stanton snuck out of here a few weeks ago? | Happy 50 | {Laughs} Yeah, I knew about it. They're still young, and they weren't going to go very far. | 52 |
| Neutral 50 | I had them on my monitors the whole time. I almost headed out there when they got surrounded by those scorpions, but Watkins is a hell of a shot. | 53 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic010 | What exactly are the rules regarding entering and leaving? | Neutral 50 | Under the lockdown, only essential personnel are permitted to enter or leave. That includes supply runners and high security patrols. | 54 |
| Neutral 50 | All other personnel are forbidden to leave, and any personnel that were out there when the lockdown was enacted are forbidden from returning. | 55 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic011 | I had other questions. | Neutral 50 | Fine by me. | 56 |
| VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic012 | What would an Elder have to do to get kicked out? | Neutral 50 | So you've been talking to Hardin, eh? He's been looking for a way to usurp McNamara ever since the lockdown started. | 57 |
| Neutral 50 | Don't get me wrong, he's a good man, but Elder McNamara's done all right by us. If it weren't for him, none of us would have survived at HELIOS. | 58 | ||
| Neutral 50 | I'll tell you what I told Hardin. There have only been a few cases of Elders being dismissed from their posts in the Brotherhood's history. | 59 | ||
| Neutral 50 | And those involved crimes that someone like Elder McNamara is just not capable of. You can look it up for yourself, if you want. | 60 | ||
| Neutral 50 | I'll grant you access to that portion of the history section of our datastore. See Senior Scribe Ibsen about accessing it. | 61 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic013 | The password is "The better part of valor." | Neutral 50 | {Thinks you're from one of the lost patrols} [You hear static.] | 62 |
| Neutral 50 | We were getting a little worried. Where's your partner? No, on second thought, don't tell me. | 63 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Give your report to the Elder, then have the doc look your over. Oh, and welcome back. | 64 | ||
| The password is "The better part of valor." | Neutral 50 | [You hear static.] | 65 | |
| Neutral 50 | Stay where you are. I'm sending someone up to meet you. | 66 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosTopic021 | One of the datastore entries mentioned the Chain That Binds. What is that, exactly? | Neutral 50 | That's an old, old principle that's been around since the Brotherhood was founded. It basically means that you have to obey a superior officer. | 67 |
| Neutral 50 | It's pretty much common sense, but it gets invoked a lot when people get pissy about following orders. | 68 | ||
| Neutral 50 | If you're curious, I'll give you access to the datastore entry on it. You'd probably be the first to read it in years, if not decades. | 69 | ||
| VDialogueHiddenValleyRamosWhoIsElijah | Who is Elijah? | Neutral 50 | Who {emph} was Elijah, more like. He was our Elder before McNamara. Bright guy, but just between you and me he was a little off. | 70 |
| Neutral 50 | Our mission is to recover and preserve the technology of the past, but Elijah wanted more. He sought ways to improve upon technology, make it better. | 71 | ||
| Neutral 50 | When we found HELIOS One, he was like a kid in a candy store. He kept talking about the potential, and a "grand design, never realized." | 72 | ||
| Neutral 50 | He even insisted we set up our base there, against the objection of nearly every paladin. What followed is a whole other story. | 73 |
