I'm not getting sucked into your fight, friend.

{as a way of introducing himself} Tom Anderson. Can I help you?

Good to see you again.

Take care.

I heard Corporal White came here to investigate a water shortage.
|
Neutral 50
|
No one by that name has come here, I'm afraid. You must've heard wrong. You can ask around if you'd like - they'll all tell you the same thing. {Mildly threatening - he's hinting that the player should back off from this line of questioning.}

Tell me about the co-op.
|
Neutral 50
|
The co-op is comprised of Westside locals and run by Clayton Etienne. They produce all of their own food and share in the profits of the co-op.

|
What do you do here?
|
Neutral 50
|
I'm with the Followers of the Apocalypse, and I help the locals in Westside grow crops. Unlike the NCR, the Followers don't expect anything back.
|

The soil and the hot, dry environment don't make it easy, but we get by all right.
|

We've even got our own food store, the Westside Co-op, complete with basic refrigeration.

VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic006
|
Do you have a problem with the NCR?
|
Neutral 50
|
I don't go looking for fights with them, but they don't have the best interests of people in mind. Certainly not locals.
|
10
|
Neutral 50
|
The bottom line for NCR is productivity and growth. Politicians back in Shady Sands are completely detached from the people actually living here.

Hector told me everything.
|
Neutral 50
|
I suppose there's no point in denying it any longer. I killed Corporal White to protect Westside's self-reliance. It was rash, and I regret it now.
|

|
Neutral 50
|
We don't have the money to pay for the water, so I rigged the pump station to divert water to the local cisterns from time to time.

You need to answer for your crime.
|
Neutral 50
|
I'll surrender on one condition - you protect Westside's secret. Without that water, this community won't survive long.
|
14
|
Neutral 50
|
I'll say that White and I had a... falling out over a woman. A crime of passion, if you will.
|

|
VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic011
|
You have a deal.
|
Neutral 50
|
Thank you. I won't make any trouble when they come for me.
|
16
|
VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic012
|
No, I'm not going to lie for you.
|
Neutral 50
|
Then you leave me no choice.
|

|
VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic013
|
Say I keep Westside's secret - what's in it for me?
|
Neutral 50
|
Ten percent of the co-op's profits.
|
18
|
VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic014
|
Ten percent it is.
|
Neutral 50
|
Good. Tell Etienne about our deal and I'll turn myself in.
|
19
|
Ten percent it is.
|
Neutral 50
|
Then we have an agreement. Thank you for keeping my secret - such a thing will never happen again.
|

|
VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic015
|
I'd rather not turn you in, but someone else might come looking for White.
|
Neutral 50
|
If the NCR thinks White was killed by, say, members from the Scorpions gang, it may be enough for them to close the case.
|
21
|
VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic016
|
Consider it done. You stay free and Westside keeps getting water.
|
Neutral 50
|
Thank you. What happened was regrettable, but I'll make sure it never happens again.
|

|
Westside's secret is easily worth more, but I'm willing to settle for twenty percent.
|
Neutral 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] Twenty percent it is. Etienne won't like it, but at least our secret will be safe.
|
23
|
Neutral 50
|
I'll turn myself in. Thank you for understanding.
|
24
|
I'm keeping a very big secret. Twenty percent is fair.
|
Neutral 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] Twenty percent it is. Etienne won't like it, but at least our secret will be safe.
|
25
|
Neutral 50
|
Thank you for keeping my secret. I'll make sure that nothing like it ever happens again.
|
26
|
How about twenty percent? Twenty is better.
|
Neutral 50
|
[FAILED] You ask too much. We barely make a profit as it is.
|
27
|
VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic020
|
I could say that... if the price was right.
|
Neutral 50
|
Perhaps a partnership in the co-op would be enough. Say, ten percent of daily profits?
|
28
|
VFreeformCasaMadrid1EAndersonTopic026
|
If I don't turn you in, will you stop stealing NCR water?
|
Neutral 50
|
That's not a bargain I can accept. Westside depends on that water for survival and self-reliance.
|

|
VFreeformCasaMadridWestsideAndersonTopic000
|
It was easy to figure out that the NCR water shortage points to you - save me some time, will you?
|
Neutral 50
|
{PC Intelligence 6+} Fair enough. Since you seem to have pieced it together, I won't insult you by denying it any further.

You should know I've been helpful to the Followers, so come clean about White if you know something.
|
Neutral 50

Some of the other Followers mentioned you. All right - the truth, then.
