GREETING | GREETING | Neutral 50 | {Slightly bored} Caravan, citizen, pilgrim, or...? | 1 |
GREETING | Happy 10 | {Nods to player} Been doing a lot of good work out there, setting an example for the others - I know Ranger Jackson appreciates it. | 2 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Back again, I see. Something you need? | 3 | |
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic000 | Anything I can do to help around here? | Neutral 50 | More than you already have? Might want to ask around, but truth is, you've already helped out a lot in the short time you've been here. | 4 |
Anything I can do to help around here? | Neutral 50 | I suppose you could talk to Ghost, up on top of the barracks - uh, Ranger Ghost. Something about trouble in Nipton, maybe. | 5 | |
Anything I can do to help around here? | Neutral 50 | {A little surprised by the offer} Help? Oh, well... you could speak to Ranger Jackson. He might have something for you. | 6 | |
Neutral 50 | He sort of runs things around here, mostly ends up sending reports back West that aren't filled with the best news. | 7 | ||
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic001 | I need repairs. | Neutral 50 | All right then... just sign here, here, and... here. | 8 |
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic002 | What kind of trouble? | Neutral 50 | Not exactly sure... radio's been on the fritz, and since I haven't heard any shooting, I don't think it's urgent. Can't hurt to go ask her. | 9 |
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic003 | Can you tell me about the Outpost? | Neutral 50 | NCR border guard duty mostly. It's our job to make sure the caravans can move safely along I-15 and Highway 95. | 10 |
Neutral 50 | Not the best posting or assignment, but it beats being sent East, or patrolling the Colorado. Legion's pretty thick there. | 11 | ||
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic004 | Who are you? | Neutral 50 | {Surprised a bit that someone would care to ask} Me, I'm Knight - Major Knight. I've been stuck here dealing with these caravans for ages now, but somebody's gotta do it. | 12 |
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic005 | Not exciting enough for you? | Neutral 50 | It ain't so bad. If Caesar's Legion decides to push West through Nipton ol' Mojave Outpost here will be the front line. | 13 |
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic006 | I've helped out around here, sending troops to Primm will fortify the NCR in the region. | Neutral 50 | I see the wisdom in that. I'll radio for a unit to head up to Primm and offer some additional support. | 14 |
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic007 | I'd like to talk to you about Primm. | Neutral 50 | {Slight surprise} Primm? {Recalling to himself} Hayes' unit is stationed up there, were having problems with some of the NCRCF convicts. What can I help you with? | 15 |
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic008 | Hayes is undermanned and is requesting some additional support. | Neutral 50 | {Frowns} I'd like to help - {beat, hates this} but we can't spare any more units. {Reciting the official line, even though he hates it} We have to maintain a minimum headcount at the Outpost, orders from the West. | 16 |
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic009 | One of the convicts from NCRCF is looking for a pardon so he can protect Primm. | Anger 5 | {Disbelief} One of the Powder Gangers? {Slight anger, they're like terrorists} They've been nothing but trouble for us - why would we want one of them anywhere in an official capacity? | 17 |
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic010 <Barter Options> |
Having Primm - and the trade route - under NCR control would help the West. | Neutral 50 | [SUCCEEDED] I see the wisdom in that. I'll radio for a unit to head up to Primm and offer some additional support. | 18 |
If the NCR runs Primm... I bet you could sell it to... someone... somewhere. | Neutral 50 | [FAILED] {Player just said something stupid} NCR is not in the habit of buying and selling towns... unless that was some sort of joke on your part. | 19 | |
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic011 <Speech Options> |
His sentence was almost up, and he isn't tied to the Powder Gangers. | Neutral 50 | [SUCCEEDED] Hmm.{Pensive pause} All right. If his sentence was closing up I can see about getting him pardoned. | 20 |
Neutral 50 | Primm is important to our trade up from California, so having someone there who owes us a favor... that couldn't hurt. | 21 | ||
Come on, he's just a convict. How bad could he be? | Neutral 50 | [FAILED] I don't think so. I'm not going to put my word on the line for some random convict. | 22 | |
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic012 <Bribe> |
Do you think I could "buy" a pardon for 200 caps? | Neutral 50 | {Slightly uncomfortable, voice down} Well, having a sheriff who was a convict is better than no sheriff at all... and if he has the qualifications... all right, hand it over. | 23 |
Do you think I could "buy" a pardon for 200 caps? | Neutral 50 | If you {emph} had 200 caps, we could talk business - until then, we don't have anything to talk about. | 24 | |
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic013 | Never mind, I'll be leaving now. | Neutral 50 | Goodbye. | 25 |
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic014 | Goodbye. | Neutral 50 | Goodbye. | 26 |
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic015 | Primm has seen better days. | Sad 10 | {Sad} It has. It was a promising trade town - before the escape at the correctional facility. {Shakes head, recalling a bad memory} Lost a good bit of money at the Vikki and Vance. | 27 |
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic016 | What? | Neutral 50 | Just need something for the log book, keeping tabs on traffic through the Outpost... {to himself} although mostly just in, not out these days. | 28 |
Neutral 50 | If you're looking for the commanding officer, he's in the back. Although... he's got a lot on his plate, so if you speak with him... keep it short. | 29 | ||
Neutral 50 | Also, you need any gear checked, we can get you up and running again... once you fill out the work orders, and sign for the parts, of course. | 30 | ||
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic018 | [NCR] NCR Soldier. | Neutral 50 | {Curious} Reinforcements? {Beat, to himself} About time we got some more hands around here. | 31 |
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic020 | [Confirmed Bachelor] You didn't tell me your name. | Neutral 50 | Oh - Knight. {Frowns, a little uncomfortable} You must not be from around here. If so... it doesn't do to get too friendly. {Knight's homosexual, but he doesn't want anyone in the Outpost to know for reasons he'll explain soon.} | 32 |
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic021 | What do you mean? | Neutral 50 | {Quieter, doesn't want to be overheard} This isn't the Republic. Oddly enough, Legion's a little more forgiving about... friendships. Out here, it's not as accepted. | 33 |
Neutral 50 | {Slightly apologetic} Not that I mind being friends, it's just being open about it in the Outpost... well, I have to work here. | 34 | ||
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic023 | Didn't realize NCR was so spineless. | Neutral 50 | Now wait a minute - Republic's a sight better than... other alternatives. Women are serving here, after all. The rest... well, might take some time. | 35 |
Neutral 50 | And they're more accepting back West, like I said. In the meantime... | 36 | ||
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic024 | Forget it, then, you're a waste of time. | Neutral 50 | Wait... wait a minute. Look. Some things in the NCR are... aren't ideal. But I want to help. | 37 |
Forget it, then, you're a waste of time. | Neutral 50 | {Slight conspiratorial} If you need something repaired... let me know, I can sign the work order. As long as caps change hands, I can put them back in yours. | 38 | |
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic025 | So is that a "no," you don't want to be friends, or... | Neutral 50 | I... would, perhaps some other time. When my orders take me to Vegas, perhaps. Wish things were different, but might take some time. | 39 |
vMojavevMOMajorKnightTopic027 | I could use some help with my gear. | Neutral 50 | {Slight conspiratorial smile} Let me sign off on the work order for you, then. | 40 |
