1 00774286 0078B87E Can I help you?
2 0078B87F You want something? Spit it out, already.
3 0078B880 Mm?
4 0078B881 Something you want?
5 0078B883 Can you quit starting? You're making me proper uncomfortable over here. Player approaches Theo for the first time. He isn’t fond of new people.
6 00793416 *Grunts* Grunts to acknowledge that the player is leaving the conversation.
7 00793417 What you looking at, kid?
8 00793418 Heard you got this business back in order. Color me impressed, rookie.
9 00793419 Something you need? Thought you were meant to be showing me the ropes. Empahsis on "me".
10 0079341A Deliveries been cancelled? Only thing I can think of to explain why you're stood there like a pillock instead of doing some work.
11 0079341C Glad to see you up and about. You could teach the rest of these lot a thing or two about hard work.
12 0079341D You're up early.
13 0079395B Something to say?
14 00775186 00775194 What's that got to do with you? Need the friends?
15 0078B815 0078B860 Mhm, yeah. What's it gotta do with you?
16 0078B863 Great. Now if you don't mind, I have some unpacking to do. Theo trying to exit the conversation.
17 0078B866 Not wrong there. Thanks I guess, for not being weird about it. Genuine, slightly embarrassed.
18 0078B869 And I get the impression it ain't any of your business. Now do you actually want something? Or just here to stick your oar in? Defensive. Emphasis on “I” in “I get the impression it ain’t…”
19 0078B86A A Ghoul? Hmph, heard that name a few times now. Pensive.
20 You got a problem with that? Defensive.
21 0078B86B Perceptive. Dismissive, cold.
22 0078B872 Look, we just met. You expect me to spill my life story? Dry.
23 0078B875 Fine by me. You stick to your work, I'll stick to mine.
24 0078B878 Every day that ends in Y. We finished here?
25 0078B87C Guess so. You too. Name's Theo. Dismissive, cold.
26 0078BAFD Hm, seems ignorance favors fools if you're keeping company with the likes of that freak.
27 Can't argue with you, mind. Just a shame he's more selfish than smart.
28 Hate or love the bastard, you gotta admire his ambition.
29 0078BB0C Not the worst job I've done... go easy with it, alright?
30 0078BB21 Back before Vault-Tec, I mighta said it's good for her. Getting out of her comfort zone and all that. About Josie, the Brahmin Tamer.
31 Don't know now. Pointless wasting time in a job that you ain't feeling.
32 0078BB32 You what? What did I say? Don't go there. What do you do? Go there anyway.
33 0078BB37 Well how the hell should I know? And don't take this as an invitation to go looking for it. Marley would hate me all over again if I got one of her lackeys killed off. Emphasis on "don't".
34 0078BB39 You know nothing. Keep your nose out of other people's business.
35 0078BB3D Fine, but only if it'll stop you being so fucking nosey all the time. Get on with it - what you want to know?
36 00793415 Be gentle with her. Forgot what a beauty she is.
37 0079341B Packed some boxes for your next trip. Make sure they get there safe, alright?
38 0079341E Mhm. See you.
39 00793420 She seemed alright when she joined. It's clear she's a proper chemhead now, though. Steer clear of that one. About Josie (Brahmin Tamer) if player decides to give her chems.
40 00793421 Be gentle with her. Forgot what a beauty she is.
41 00793422 Mhm. See you.
42 00793423 *Grunts* Grunts to acknowledge that the player is leaving the conversation.
43 00793424 What you looking at, kid?
44 00793425 Heard you got this business back in order. Color me impressed, rookie.
45 00793426 Something you need? Thought you were meant to be showing me the ropes. Empahsis on "me".
46 00793427 Deliveries been cancelled? Only thing I can think of to explain why you're stood there like a pillock instead of doing some work.
47 00793428 Packed some boxes for your next trip. Make sure they get there safe, alright?
48 00793429 Glad to see you up and about. You could teach the rest of these lot a thing or two about hard work.
49 0079342A You're up early.
50 00799E04 Yeah, what is it?
51 00799E05 That's fine.
52 00799E06 Get on with it.
53 00799E07 Later then.
54 00799E08 Sure. That's fine.
55 00799E09 No can do, sorry.
56 00799E0A Thanks. Appreciate it.
57 00799E0B What was I saying again?
58 00799E0C So, where'd we leave off at?
59 Just making small talk. 0078B85E Great. Want to find someone else to do that with? I'm busy here. Dismissive.
60 I'm interested in the company. What was it like? 0078B870 Horrible. Done interrogating me now? Trying to avoid the questions.
61 Bet they paid you the big bucks. 0078B861 I worked hard and was good at it. Earned that title.
62 Only quit for more money and better security. Opportunity to work with Vault-Tec, and some big-shot from the board of directors at that.
63 I was just a stupid kid. Didn't know what I was talking about. Bitter.
64 Is that why you moved to the US? 0078B873 Yeah. Designed weapons for the forces. Helped out with the making of some of them, too.
65 Sounds complicated. 0078B864 Maybe for someone like you, no offense. It takes a certain type of person and mindset. Self assured on that last sentence.
66 [Perk Gunsmith] I'm familiar with the work. You drew up plans for weapons. 0078B876 Hmph, not bad. Seems first impressions aren't always right. Impressed.
67 Need to get going. 0078B867 About time you did some work. Beginning to think Marley hired a clown. “Beginning to think Marley hired a clown.” muttered under his breath.
68 You selling ammo? 0078B86D Could be. Got some left over, from the old job. You looking to buy? Better have the cash. Informs player he sells ammo.
69 Gun merchant... how did you get into that line of work? 0078B85D School, graft, luck. Started out as a military tech contractor. Long time ago now, mind.
70 What made you want to be a merchant? 0078B86F Circumstances changed. I'm here for more than just work. Anyway, ain't you busy? Marley didn't hire you to be a layabout. Reminiscing slightly.
71 Are you excited about the new job? 0078B87D Not particularly. Why's it matter to you, anyway?
72 0078B848 0078B85C Sorry. It's great to meet you.
73 0078B84A 0078B86E Sorry. It's great to meet you.
74 0078B84C 0078B85F Sorry. It's great to meet you.
75 Sorry. It's great to meet you. 0078B871 Guess so. You too.
76 Sorry. It's great to meet you 0078B862 Guess so. You too.
77 Sorry. It's great to meet you. 0078B865 Guess so. You too.
78 Sorry. It's great to meet you. 0078B877 Guess so. You too.
79 Sorry. It's great to meet you. 0078B868 Guess so. You too.
80 Axel talks about you often. 0078BB0B Kid's coming along fine. It's been nice... teaching him the ropes and all that. Life skills, you know? For all those stupid plans he has. First few lines are soft. Last line is harder, more of an act.
81 You know how to upgrade this weapon? 0078BB11 Might take me a while, but with the right tools... yeah, it's doable.
82 Has the group grown on you yet? 0078BB36 They're fine. Definitely had much worse company.
83 How's life, Theo? 0078BB14 Been worse. Seems things are... taking a turn for the better. Much as I don't deserve it. I wanted to thank you for helping out here.
84 Everything you done to get this branch up and running... means the world to her, so means something to me. Now get outta here.
85 Don't you have deliveries to make or something?
86 How are things going with Marley? 0078BB3F Getting there one step at a time. Gonna take a while to patch things up but... it's moving. Can see parts of myself in her.
87 Jessica too... Don't look at me like that. Anyway, did you actually want something? Or just here to waste time? Embarassed.
88 How you liking this side of the pond? 0078BB18 Not that different from England. Same rain, same ground. Well just about.
89 Are you getting on with the others? 0078BAF6 Weird bunch, but they're alright...
90 How are you adjusting to life at the HQ? 0078BB1C Better than being buried in a big tin can...
91 What happened with Marley? Seems you're getting on better now. 0078BAFA Couldn't have gotten much worse.
92 So... you wanna talk about Vault-Tec yet? 0078BB20 Fine, but only if it'll stop you being so damn nosey all the time. Get on with it. What do you want to know? Cold but more open than before.
93 [Charisma 4+] Can't have been that bad. What was so horrible about it? 0078BB38 Evil bastards using their power to manipulate people into compliance. I'm done talking about it. Find your drama elsewhere. Willing to share, then dismissive when he opens up. Leads with a sigh.
94 [Charisma 4+] Sorry I brought it up. I won't pry any further. 0078BB16 Yeah. Look, I'm sorry. It's just memories I'd rather forget. There's nothing personal. Slight pause after “Yeah”. Takes time to think before responding.
95 I'm not going to argue with you. 0078BAF4 Didn't expect you to.
96 Sorry that happened to you. Can we talk about something else? 0078BB1A We can talk more if you stop looking at me like I'm a fucking charity case. Cold, monotone.
97 Heavy. I'll leave you to it. 0078BAF8 Mm, catch you later.
98 Seems like you didn't part on good terms. 0078BB1E What part of 'I'm done talking about it' are you struggling with?
99 How long were you working there? 0078BAFC Over twenty years. Too long. Far too long.
100 Who hired you? 0078BB22 That Hugo fella. You must've heard of him. Haven't met anyone round here who hasn't. Not that anyone has anything good to say. God knows why. 'God knows why' is muttered and snarky.
101 What sort of work were you conducting down there? 0078BB00 Still worked with weapons, obviously.
102 Hugo wanted to branch out and create some new guns for security purposes. Soon had us experimenting with... more unorthodox designs.
103 If it was that bad, why didn't you just leave? 0078BB26 You thick in the head? Obviously didn't have a say.
104 Tried getting out right at the start, told them I didn't wanna be there. They weren't having none of it.
105 Tried fighting my way out too but, well, there were a lot of them and a lot less of me. Willing to share info, but still defensive and deflecting.
106 What was the alternative? Nuclear obliteration? 0078BB2D Had a... had a plan. We were gonna move out to the wilderness. Found a little house.
107 Wasn't much, but would have been enough to avoid the brunt of the bombs and the fallout.
108 Can't say I miss it too much myself... 0078BB0A You were down in one of those things, too? Well, makes it a bit easier for us to understand each other, I suppose.
109 Assume you were down by your own choice, mind you.
110 Why did they need to keep you? 0078BB31 Needed me to design more weapons for them for them in a post-war world. Hugo playing God, as per usual.
111 How'd you do it? How'd you escape? 0078BB10 Guards got word from Hugo that he wanted one of the weapons I made... that bloke ain't a fool, though.
112 He knew the rest of the vault was dangerous, so sent me instead.
113 For someone of his status, he's a pretty big coward. "Send the guy who made it" he said.
114 Guy kidnapped me for twenty years and didn't even bother learning my name.
115 That you and Marley's mom? 0078BB35 Yeah. She's gone now. Doesn't matter. Let's move on. Bittersweet laughter at the start of the sentence.
116 Sounds like you planned ahead. 0078BB13 Information was one of the benefits of working in the vault, I suppose. Back before it all went to shit, anyway.
117 Yeah... didn't have the best time. 0078BB3E I can sympathize. At least we're out now. Silver linings and all that.
118 Sure. Wasn't anywhere near as bad as you make out. 0078BB17 We all have different experiences. Don't have to invalidate mine to soothe your own ego.
119 [Hugo] I've had my own run ins with him. 0078BAF5 What you mean by that? You know something I don't?
120 Can't say I've had the pleasure. 0078BB1B Part of the lucky few then. Don't worry, you're not missing out.
121 You two don't get along? 0078BAF9 You ever been imprisoned? You think you'd like your jailer? Yeah, no shit we didn't get along. Dry sarcasm.
122 Let's just say he won't be bothering anyone anymore. 0078BB1F Huh... didn't think you had it in you. Reckon I should thank you. Should've been me that did it, mind. Takes a pause after “huh” to contemplate.
123 You ever see any of them used? 0078BB23 Sometimes. Guards took the good ones to keep the rowdy vault folk in check.
124 The great weapons were kept for 'later use', but the higher ups never opened up much about what that entailed.
125 What was your favorite? 0078BB01 Not one for favorites... all work at the end of the day. Modest.
126 Seems you were pretty talented, no wonder they didn't want you leaving. 0078BB27 Yeah, I was. Pensive.
127 There was this shooting range, and they let me try out some of my creations for testing purposes. Supervised, of course. Thinking back.
128 Not that it mattered, didn't have much fight in me after a while down there.
129 But anyway, some of the guns had so much kick that they tore the targets in half.
130 Didn't feel much in that place, but holding that much power in my hands... it felt good. Last part of the line is a little sad.
131 Any particularly dangerous ones? 0078BB0D A few. Was this one weapon we designed towards the end. Project 00M5698 if I'm recalling it right. Higher ups wanted something new.
132 Told us to harness nuclear energy. Powerful shit, stronger than anything we've ever made before.
133 0078BB0E Well, you should know. How you finding that thing? One of my best. And worst. Depending on your stance.
134 Nuclear energy? Was that... legal? 0078BB33 That really your concern here? Was post war, post literal bombs falling on our planet, and your concern is the law? Give me a break.
135 What happened to it? 0078BB12 Last I heard, it got chucked in storage. Somewhere deep in the vault.
136 I was given some vague directions and sent on an expedition to find it when the Lost were starting to overrun the place.
137 Hadn't seen one so close till then. They're damn scary. Just wandering all over, dead eyed and hollow... it was a wake up call to get out.
138 I'm happy for you both. 0078BB15 Yeah... thanks. Lots of catching up to do.
139 Must've been hard for her, growing up without a dad. 0078BB40 Yeah no shit. I should've been there for her. I won't ever forgive Hugo for taking those years away.
140 Hate's a strong word, but by God if it ain't relevant here, it never will be.
141 Well, what do you like to do for fun? 0078BB19 Haven't thought about that in years. Used to be a keen fisher. Nothing like an early rise, nice coffee and open lake.
142 Can't imagine I'd like much of what I would catch nowadays, though.
143 {How do you relax? 0078BAF7 I enjoy the quiet. A good sit down by myself, no pressure of talking. Cold beer too, if there's one going.
144 Ineke is really fond of you. 0078BB1D She's nice enough. Good to bond with a real adult, you know? Stops me going completely insane. Talking about Ineke, the imported goods merchant.
145 Axel looks up to you. Gyro too, by proxy. 0078BAFB The kid's sweet. The robot's a bit mental, though. But I guess he's gotta have something to hold on to. Talking about Axel - child in HQ.
146 Can't see his folks coming back. Reality's a kick in the teeth.
147 Doesn't seem like Josie belongs here. 0079341F She seemed alright when she joined. It's clear she's a proper chemhead now though. Steer clear of that one. About Josie (Brahmin Tamer) if player decides to give her chems.
148 Have you seen any of Windy's cryptids? 0078BAFF Ah yeah, squeezed in a few cryptid hunting trips during the last twenty years whilst I was being held captive by Hugo the nutter.
149 No, of course I bloody haven't. None of that shit's real anyway, just something for all those conspiracy freaks. Windy included.
150 Let's talk about something else. 0078BB25 Spit it out.
151 Don't suppose you've seen much of the fallout? 0078BB04 Can't say I have. Only left the vault a few years back, and I ain't gone much further than a few miles north.
152 Why did you move here anyway? 0078BB2A Got offered the tech contractor job. Was working full time. Lived on site.
153 And through that, I met Marley's mum, Jessica. She used to work for Blue Ridge. Long time ago now. Brief 'er' and pause before "Marley's mum".
154 Few cuts and bruises, but it was worth it. 0078BB08 You made it back in one piece, but how long before someone takes a fancy to that gun and slits your throat to take it? You need to be more careful.
155 Anyway, did you want something? Or just here to brag about your find?
156 I've been out the vault long enough now, this was nothing. 0078BB2F You ain't impressing anyone, cut the tough guy shit. Anyway, you just here about the gun, or need something else?
157 I'd like to upgrade the barrel. 0078BB03 Good choice. Easy enough too.
158 I want better sights. 0078BB29 Sights, eh?
159 Can I change the magazine? 0078BB07 Can do, what you looking for specifically?
160 think the stock needs changing. 0078BB2E Mm, fine... you got any supplies I can use? Don't work for free.
161 00791123 0079115D Gotta get that shipment into boxes, before I forget. Talking to himself.
162 0079115E Good to see at least someone starts early here. Addressing the player from a distance.
163 0079115F Morning.
164 00791160 Got the late shift?
165 00791161 Imported goods? Is that what they're calling narcotics these days? About Ineke, the imported goods merchant. Mutters to himself.
166 00791162 Keep it down, Axel! I'm trying to get ten minutes of peace over here. Axel is a child in the workplace. Slightly irritating, lots of energy.
167 Your mother never make you use an inside voice? Mutters this line.
168 00791163 Good craftsmanship on this robot... you say your dad fixed it up, kid? Talking to Axel, a child in HQ.
169 00791164 Those Brahmin stink. Bloody animals belong outside.
170 00791166 Ain't half bad here... I suppose. Muttering to himself.
171 00791168 Oi, kid... want to help me pack some stuff up? Talking to Axel, a child in the HQ.
172 00791169 You need some help with planning those new routes, Marley?
173 00791124 00791130 Isn't there somewhere you ought to be? Accusatory
174 00791131 Marley send you? Cold but interested.
175 00791132 Got some guns on the order for your next delivery... I packed them up already for you.
176 00791134 Watch yourself on that road. Storm's playing up today. Casual but more caring.
177 00791135 Finally showed up, ey? More playful.
178 Marley's looking for you to do some work.
179 Can't say I miss it too much myself... 007A110A You were down in one of those things, too? Well, makes it a bit easier for us to understand each other, I suppose.
180 Assume you were down there of your own choice, mind you.
181 007A1107 007A1109 Had a... had a plan. We were gonna move out to the wilderness. Found a little house.
182 Wasn't much but would have been enough to avoid the brunt of the bombs and the fallout.
183 If it was that bad, why didn't you just leave? 007A110B You thick in the head? Obviously I didn't have a say.
184 Tried getting out right at the start, told them I didn't wanna be there. They were having none of it.
185 I tried fighting my way out too but, well, a lot of them and a lot less of me.
