CaravanOffer | Want to play a hand of Caravan? | Neutral 50 | I always have time for a good game of Caravan. I hope you're up to the challenge. | 1 |
CaravanPlayerLoses | CaravanPlayerLoses | Neutral 50 | It looks like you need a bit more practice. Another lesson perhaps? | 2 |
CaravanPlayerWins | CaravanPlayerWins | Neutral 50 | Impressive. That was a very good game. Would you care to play again? | 3 |
CaravanRematchNo | I'm all done playing for now. | Neutral 50 | Another time then, perhaps. | 4 |
CaravanRematchYes | Yeah, let's play again. | Neutral 50 | Excellent. Let the game begin! | 5 |
GREETING | GREETING | Anger 50 | Ah, hello. I trust you have something to report concerning the Freeside situation? | 6 |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Something I can help you with, soldier? | 7 | |
GREETING | Happy 50 | It's good to see such an outstanding hero of the NCR. What can I do for you, my friend? | 8 | |
GREETING | Happy 25 | It's good to have a friend of the NCR here. What can I do for you? | 9 | |
GREETING | Disgust 50 | Well, if it isn't the loose cannon that's been wandering the Mojave Wasteland. What do you want? | 10 | |
GREETING | Disgust 25 | I didn't expect to see you here. I hope you're not here to cause trouble. | 11 | |
GREETING | Anger 50 | You're the last person I expected to see here. This better be good. | 12 | |
GREETING | Anger 25 | {Angry}What do you want? | 13 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Greetings, friend. Something I can help you with? | 14 | |
GREETING | Neutral 50 | Hello again. What can I do for you this time? | 15 | |
GREETING | Anger 50 | I don't have anything more to say to you. You can show yourself out. | 16 | |
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic005 | Tell me about yourself, Ambassador. | Happy 25 | Interested in Politics, huh? Well, grab a seat and get comfortable. | 17 |
Happy 15 | I've been in politics quite a while now. Always had the drive to do it, even when I was young. It's just something I was drawn to. | 18 | ||
Happy 15 | I started my career over twenty years ago back in the NCR as the local mayor and worked my way up from there. | 19 | ||
Neutral 50 | I managed President Kimball's first run for a seat on the Council. {smiling at the obviousness of it}I suppose that's why I have this ambassadorship. | 20 | ||
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic006 | I wanted to talk to you about the Boomers. | Happy 10 | I'm glad to see you've given it some thought. Are you willing to go talk to them? | 21 |
I wanted to talk to you about the Boomers. | Neutral 50 | Thanks for doing this. Remember, we need their resources to help us in the upcoming battle. Do whatever it takes. | 22 | |
I wanted to talk to you about the Boomers. | Neutral 50 | I hope you've returned with good news. Are they willing to help the NCR? | 23 | |
I wanted to talk to you about the Boomers. | Neutral 50 | What's the word with the Boomers? Have you talked with them yet? | 24 | |
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 | I'd like to know more about the NCR. | Anger 15 | That's a conversation we might be able to have some day - once you've shown more respect for my country. | 25 |
I'd like to know more about the NCR. | Neutral 50 | I can provide a quick history lesson, if that's what you're looking for. | 26 | |
Neutral 50 | In 2274, President Kimball sent the NCR army into the Mojave in force, with the objective of occupying and repairing Hoover Dam. | 27 | ||
Neutral 50 | Rangers and army scouts had confirmed that the dam was basically unoccupied and could be restored to an operable condition. | 28 | ||
Neutral 50 | Upon arriving at the dam, however, they discovered that a large force of tribals and robots had occupied it. | 29 | ||
Neutral 50 | This was our introduction to the Three Families, the Securitrons, and, of course, Mr. House. | 30 | ||
Neutral 50 | Using his Securitrons as intermediaries, Mr. House called for parlay. | 31 | ||
Neutral 50 | He claimed his forces had occupied Hoover Dam in order to safeguard it for our arrival. | 32 | ||
Neutral 50 | And that he was ready to turn it over to us, so long as we could agree to terms. | 33 | ||
Neutral 50 | Those terms became the Treaty of New Vegas. | 34 | ||
Neutral 50 | The Treaty recognized Mr. House's sovereignty over the Strip and granted us rights to establish military bases at the Dam and McCarran Airport. | 35 | ||
Neutral 50 | The NCR is legally permitted to send 95% of the electricity produced by the dam to our home states. | 36 | ||
Neutral 50 | The remaining 5% goes to the Strip. | 37 | ||
Neutral 50 | The treaty actually makes it illegal for the NCR to prevent its citizens, or troops on furlough, from visiting the Strip. | 38 | ||
Neutral 50 | Once on the Strip, our citizens are subject to arrest - or punishment - by House's Securitrons, though that's a rare occurrence. | 39 | ||
Neutral 50 | Our troops enjoy a different status. It's illegal for the Securitrons to take action against them. | 40 | ||
Neutral 50 | Of course, it's also illegal for our troops to carry firearms on the Strip, so there isn't much trouble they can get into. | 41 | ||
Neutral 50 | Our military police does an adequate job of keeping the troops on furlough in line. I don't envy them that task. | 42 | ||
Neutral 50 | The embassy was established a few weeks after the Treaty was signed. | 43 | ||
Neutral 50 | Basically Mr. House handed us a dumpy little building he had no interest in renovating. | 44 | ||
Neutral 50 | I'm the third ambassador to hold this post. And the first, I think, to accept its limitations. | 45 | ||
Neutral 50 | My predecessors had ambitions of engineering the annexation of the Mojave. They thought they'd convince Mr. House to join up. | 46 | ||
Neutral 50 | I've never even spoken to the man - or whatever he is. Maybe the situation will change once we've beaten the Legion once and for all. | 47 | ||
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic009 | Uh... no word yet. I'll get back to you on it. | Neutral 50 | You know where to find me. | 48 |
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic011 | What's happening around the Strip? | Anger 15 | If that's all you came here to talk about, you're wasting my time. Get to the point, or get out of my office. | 49 |
What's happening around the Strip? | Anger 5 | I know you have a penchant for getting into trouble, but I'd recommend against that here. The Securitrons on the Strip aren't to be trifled with. | 50 | |
Happy 5 | Perhaps I'll have Captain Pappas keep an eye on you. For your own safety, of course. | 51 | ||
What's happening around the Strip? | Neutral 50 | It's the same old stuff around here. Gambling, debauchery, drunkenness. It's all here. I'm getting a little old for it, however. | 52 | |
Neutral 50 | If you want more information try talking to some of the other guys around here. I don't get out of the office much anymore. | 53 | ||
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic012 | I don't think it's going to work out. Sorry. | Anger 15 | That's disappointing. They could have been a big help to us. I guess we'll just have to do without. | 54 |
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic013 | <VMS23 Boomer Quest> | Happy 25 | I'm glad you could make it! I have something that I wanted to discuss with you. | 55 |
Neutral 50 | It's a very important matter, and I have a strong feeling that you're the perfect person for the job. | 56 | ||
<VMS23 Boomer Quest> | Neutral 50 | You received my message, good. I realize that it may seem a little strange that I'm contacting you, considering your reputation... | 57 | |
Neutral 50 | But I have a business proposition to discuss with you. | 58 | ||
<VMS23 Boomer Quest> | Happy 25 | Ah, I see you received my message. Good, good - I had something important to discuss with you. | 59 | |
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic014 | I'm listening. | Neutral 50 | I'm going to keep this as simple as possible so we don't waste each other's time. | 60 |
Neutral 50 | The NCR is in a bit of a tight spot with all that is going on with Mr. House and the Legion. | 61 | ||
Neutral 50 | And despite your reputation and previous actions with the NCR, we could use your help. | 62 | ||
I'm listening. | Neutral 50 | I'm sure you've noticed that things are a little tense around here with all the issues between the NCR, the Legion, and Mr. House. | 63 | |
Neutral 50 | It doesn't take a genius to see that something big is going to happen soon. | 64 | ||
Neutral 50 | To be honest with you, the NCR is in a tight spot. {slightly dramatic}But... if we fail now, it's the people here that are going to suffer the most. | 65 | ||
Happy 15 | I'm not willing to let that happen, and I don't think you're the kind of person that would either. | 66 | ||
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic015 | Sorry, I'm not interested. | Sad 15 | Sorry to hear that. Do me a favor and give it some more thought. I'll be here if you change your mind. | 67 |
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic016 | Actually, I already know them. We're good friends. | Surprise 50 | That's excellent news! So they'll help us? | 68 |
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic017 | I've met with the Boomers. I don't think it'll work out. | Anger 15 | That's disappointing. They could have been a big help to us. I guess we'll just have to do without. | 69 |
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic018 | I know where they are. I'll go and talk to them. | Happy 15 | Excellent, come back after you've spoken to them. They should see the benefits of helping us in the long-term. | 70 |
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic019 | I'll find them and talk to them. | Happy 15 | Much appreciated. Once you've talked to them, let me know what they have to say. | 71 |
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic020 | About that thing you wanted to talk about, let's hear it. | Neutral 50 | I'm going to keep this as simple as possible. The NCR is in a bit of a tight spot with all that's going on, and I need someone like you to help me. | 72 |
Neutral 50 | In exchange for your help, you would receive complete amnesty for any past crimes against the NCR, as well as additional benefits and perks. | 73 | ||
Neutral 50 | And if you prove to be a loyal and capable agent, well... let's just say there's a lot of work to be done, and the NCR is a good friend to have. | 74 | ||
Neutral 50 | To the Northeast is a settlement. The locals here call them Boomers. They are sitting on a munitions stockpile that would be invaluable to us. | 75 | ||
Neutral 50 | I would like you to get in contact with them, and then do whatever it takes to convince them to help us. | 76 | ||
Neutral 50 | Someone with your background and reputation would have a better chance of reaching them than anyone I have available. | 77 | ||
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic021 | The Boomers have agreed to help me. | Happy 50 | Excellent work. I can't tell you how useful that will be. | 78 |
The Boomers have agreed to help me. | Neutral 50 | In any event, I have another assignment ready and waiting for you. But we can speak of it later. | 79 | |
Neutral 50 | Rest up, and when you're ready, speak to me again. | 80 | ||
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic022 | Yes... they will help... "us." | Happy 50 | That's great. They're going to give us an advantage in the battle ahead. | 81 |
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic023 | Uh... I'm not sure. I'll get back to you. | Neutral 50 | Let me know as soon as you have an answer from them. | 82 |
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic025 | That's enough history for me. | Sad 10 | Oh... very well then. What else can I do for you? | 83 |
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic026 | Go on. | Neutral 50 | Now we mostly just keep track of the NCR citizens and troopers around and make sure they don't get in trouble, but that's Captain Pappas' job. | 84 |
Neutral 50 | I keep myself busy with paperwork and reports that get sent back to the NCR. It's mostly busy work, but every once in awhile, we make progress. | 85 | ||
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic027 | Interesting, go on. | Happy 50 | {Proud}I was elected to this post seven years ago. {Pride escalating}I'm the third NCR representative to serve here in Vegas. | 86 |
Happy 25 | {Beat, still proud}Now, I've had my share of ups and downs along the way, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. | 87 | ||
Happy 25 | That's it. Anything else you wished to know? | 88 | ||
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic028 | I'd like to ask about something else instead. | Sad 10 | {slightly disappointed}Oh yes, sure sure. Ask away. | 89 |
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic030 | You have my attention, go on. | Neutral 50 | To the northeast is a settlement, the locals here call them "Boomers." They are sitting on a munitions stockpile that would be invaluable to us. | 90 |
Neutral 50 | I'd like you to get in contact with them, and then do whatever it takes to convince them to help us. | 91 | ||
Anger 5 | Unfortunately, the Boomers keep to themselves and are, let's say, hostile to all outsiders. That is why I need someone like you. | 92 | ||
Neutral 50 | Someone with your background and reputation would have a better chance of reaching them than anyone I have available. | 93 | ||
Happy 5 | In exchange for your help, you would receive complete amnesty for any past crimes against the NCR, as well as additional benefits and perks. | 94 | ||
Neutral 50 | Do you think you would be able to do this for me? | 95 | ||
VMS23VStreetDennisCrockerTopic031 | You have the wrong person. | Sad 5 | I'm sorry that you think so. However, if you do happen to change your mind, you can find me here at the embassy. | 96 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic000 | Earlier you mentioned another assignment? | Neutral 50 | So I did. As you may have noticed, our position here in New Vegas is tenuous. | 97 |
Neutral 50 | We've made great strides, sure, but the NCR is not welcomed here, merely tolerated. And even then, not by everyone. | 98 | ||
Neutral 50 | We've had reports of violence against NCR citizens in a neighborhood just to the northeast called Freeside. Ever been there? | 99 | ||
Is that job in Freeside still available? | Neutral 50 | Yes, have you reconsidered? NCR citizens may be dying as we speak in that hellhole. | 100 | |
I've completed the Pacer job. | Neutral 50 | Oh, I've already heard. Pacer is dead. The Kings are up in arms. The entire area is gripped by chaos and the violence has only increased. | 101 | |
Neutral 50 | In fact, I've heard that many are assuming the NCR did it without even looking into the matter. This is the worst thing that could possibly happen! | 102 | ||
Neutral 50 | What do you have to say for yourself? | 103 | ||
Uh, the King sort of got killed while I was working on that Freeside job. | Neutral 50 | Oh, I've already heard. The Kings are up in arms. The entire area is gripped by chaos and the violence has only increased. | 104 | |
Neutral 50 | In fact, I've heard that many are assuming the NCR did it without even looking into the matter. This is the worst thing that could possibly happen! | 105 | ||
Neutral 50 | What do you have to say for yourself? | 106 | ||
I wanted to talk about the situation in Freeside. | Neutral 50 | Yes, do you have something to report? | 107 | |
I have an update on the Freeside situation. | Neutral 50 | Yes, how did it go? | 108 | |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic001 | I have. It's a slum. | Neutral 50 | I'm inclined to agree, but it's a slum with NCR citizens in it, and as such it falls under my jurisdiction. | 109 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic002 | Yes, what of it? | Neutral 50 | Violence is something of a way of life there, but there's been a disturbing rise in the number of attacks on our people lately. | 110 |
Neutral 50 | More worrying is the fact that our sources suggest the violence is being perpetrated by the gang that runs the place, the Kings. | 111 | ||
Neutral 50 | I need someone to look into this that won't attract attention. Would you be interested? | 112 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic003 | No, I haven't. | Neutral 50 | It's a beastly place. Poverty is rampant, and all that goes with it - drugs, alcohol abuse, the usual. | 113 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic004 | Maybe? I go lots of places. Can't remember them all, you know. | Neutral 50 | You'd remember this one. It's a pit where people are robbed, murdered, or simply go to die. | 114 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic005 | Sure, I'll look into it. | Neutral 50 | Good. Our men have come up with two different plans for seeing an end to the violence. | 115 |
Neutral 50 | First, our sources have tracked most of the attacks back to a King named Pacer. The consensus is that the violence will stop if he's removed. | 116 | ||
Neutral 50 | The problem is that we can't simply kill him. In the current climate, the NCR would likely be blamed for his death. | 117 | ||
Neutral 50 | There is an alternative option, but my sources feel that getting rid of this Pacer fellow is our best shot. | 118 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic006 | I think I'll pass. | Neutral 50 | That's too bad. Come back if you change your mind. I'm sure you can see yourself out. | 119 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic007 | If I can't just kill him, what did you want me to do? | Neutral 50 | Make it look like an accident, or pin the deed on someone else. Look into this guy's affairs, and I'm sure you'll find something you can use. | 120 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic008 | What was I supposed to do again? | Neutral 50 | Either kill Pacer in a way that doesn't lead back to us, or talk the King into quelling the violence. It's not really that hard to remember. | 121 |
Neutral 50 | In any case, I expect to hear good news about this in the future. Keep me informed of your progress. | 122 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic009 | I've heard that there's bad blood between Pacer and the Van Graff family. | Neutral 50 | See, that's exactly the type of information we can use. In fact, that's perfect. Those fancy weapons the Van Graffs peddle aren't exactly common. | 123 |
Neutral 50 | It goes without saying that actually getting the Van Graffs to do the deed would be the ideal solution. | 124 | ||
Neutral 50 | However, if Pacer were killed with either a laser or plasma-based weapon, everyone would automatically assume the Van Graffs did it. | 125 | ||
Neutral 50 | Still, unless you want several dozen armed men at your throat, you'd have to kill him without being seen. Be careful. | 126 | ||
Neutral 50 | I'll leave the method up to you. However, there is an alternative if you'd rather try to handle things without bloodshed. | 127 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic010 | Pacer's addicted to Jet, even though he has a heart condition. | Neutral 50 | That could be useful, but I'm afraid I don't have the background to know how to take advantage of that knowledge. | 128 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic011 | Add a little Psycho to his Jet, and he'd have a heart attack. | Neutral 50 | [SUCCEEDED] Remind me never to get on your bad side. If that's true, then yes, that would be a suitable way to get rid of him. | 129 |
Neutral 50 | However, it would involve gaining access to his personal drug stash and tampering with it unseen, which might pose a challenge. | 130 | ||
Maybe the jet will cause his heart to give out. | Neutral 50 | [FAILED] I doubt it. I've seen junkies live for decades on the stuff. You'd be better off asking someone who knows about these things. | 131 | |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic012 | I was hoping you'd know. | Neutral 50 | {Wild Wasteland!}Damn it, I'm an ambassador, not a doctor. You'll have to find some other way. | 132 |
I was hoping you'd know. | Neutral 50 | I'm afraid I can't be much help in this matter. My specialty is people and politics, not medicine. | 133 | |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic013 | I'm not an assassin. | Neutral 50 | In that case, we can take a different tack, but one that I at least have more experience with - diplomacy. | 134 |
Neutral 50 | If we can't go after the man responsible, we'll simply appeal to the man above him. | 135 | ||
Neutral 50 | The Kings, including our friend Pacer, report to the leader of their gang, a man who calls himself the King. | 136 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic014 | All right, I'll try to find a way. | Neutral 50 | I'm sure something will turn up. If you think you've found something but are unsure, report back and I'll let you know if it's something we can use. | 137 |
Neutral 50 | It may be tough to find a way to completely throw off suspicion, however. | 138 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic015 | What's my other choice? | Neutral 50 | I'm not a violent man myself, so I had our guys come up with an alternate solution on the off chance that our agent-to-be shared my sentiments. | 139 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic016 | Let's start with my reward. | Neutral 50 | Reward? You want a reward for setting our diplomatic efforts back a year? | 140 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic017 | When you put it that way... yes. | Neutral 50 | Oh, I see. You're proud of your efforts, eh? Bah! Thankfully, it looks like we won't be working together any longer. | 141 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic018 | I suppose not. | Neutral 50 | At least you've got the sense to know you've screwed up. I'll probably be cleaning toilets by the end of the week. But you'll be busy, too. | 142 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic019 | You wanted a man dead. He's dead. Now where are my caps? | Neutral 50 | If it will get you out of my hair, this is a small price to pay. At least I won't have to put up with you any longer. | 143 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic020 | I'm sorry. I screwed up. | Neutral 50 | That's an understatement. Still, there's nothing to be done about it now. Maybe the violence may die down once things settle. | 144 |
Neutral 50 | Here, take this. It's not what I was planning to give you, but you deserve some sort of payment for your efforts. Oh, and one other thing. | 145 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic021 | {Dumb option}Wow, you're really mad. | Neutral 50 | You better believe I'm mad. You've waged a one man campaign to drag our good name through the mud and I'll be held accountable! | 146 |
Neutral 50 | You probably don't even know what I'm talking about. Gah! This is what I get for hiring an idiot to do such an important job. | 147 | ||
Neutral 50 | Here, just take this and go. I have damage control to do. | 148 | ||
Neutral 50 | Wait, I'm supposed to send you to Colonel Moore up at Hoover Dam, though why she wants to see an imbecile like you is beyond me. | 149 | ||
Neutral 50 | So go to Hoover Dam and see Colonel Moore. Got it? Hoover Dam. Colonel Moore. {Sighs}Maybe it's time to retire. | 150 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic022 | I discovered that Pacer and the Van Graffs have a troubled history. | Neutral 50 | See, that's exactly the type of information we can use. In fact, that's perfect. Those fancy weapons the Van Graffs peddle aren't exactly common. | 151 |
Neutral 50 | It goes without saying that actually getting the Van Graffs to do the deed would be the ideal solution. | 152 | ||
Neutral 50 | However, if Pacer were killed with either a laser or plasma-based weapon, everyone would automatically assume the Van Graffs did it. | 153 | ||
Neutral 50 | Still, unless you want several dozen armed men at your throat, you'd have to kill him without being seen. Be careful. | 154 | ||
Neutral 50 | I'll leave the method up to you. However, there is an alternative if you'd rather try to handle things without bloodshed. | 155 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic023 | I discovered that Pacer is a Jet addict and has a heart condition. | Neutral 50 | That could be useful, but I'm afraid I don't have the background to know how to take advantage of that knowledge. | 156 |
I discovered that Pacer is a Jet addict and has a heart condition. | Neutral 50 | As I told you before, that could be useful information, but I don't know how to take advantage of it. | 157 | |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic024 | I used an energy weapon to kill Pacer, so the Van Graffs should take the blame. | Neutral 50 | Killing two birds with one stone. Excellent. You've done a great service for the NCR. | 158 |
Neutral 50 | Now, you're probably wondering about your reward. This has been something of a hot button topic, so I was able to secure this for you. | 159 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic025 | I risked my neck out there. Couldn't you spare a little more? | Neutral 50 | [SUCCEEDED] Well, I don't officially have access to any more funds, but here. This is from me personally. There's more coming your way, too. | 160 |
That's it? | Neutral 50 | [FAILED] I'm sorry, but those are the only funds I was able to allocate. You'll have to make due with it. Besides, you may have other tasks soon. | 161 | |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic026 | I laced Pacer's Jet with Psycho and it didn't go well for him. | Neutral 50 | Good show. With the conditions there, no one will suspect anything other than bad drugs to be the culprit. You've done a great service for the NCR. | 162 |
Neutral 50 | Now, you're probably wondering about your reward. This has been something of a hot button topic, so I was able to secure this for you. | 163 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic027 | The King complied with Colonel Moore's ultimatum. | Neutral 50 | How unexpected! I was sure a direct confrontation would lead to more fighting, but I'm delighted to be proven wrong. | 164 |
Neutral 50 | I wouldn't be surprised if you had something to do with the situation not flaring up, either. Here, I'm sure you deserve every one of these caps. | 165 | ||
The King complied with Colonel Moore's ultimatum. | Neutral 50 | Also, Colonel Moore has requested your presence at Hoover Dam again. No doubt she has further work for an individual with your skillset. | 166 | |
Neutral 50 | I'm afraid I don't have any further assignments that would suit you, so you should probably go see her at your earliest convenience. | 167 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic028 | Glad to be of service. | Neutral 50 | I've received a message from Colonel Moore up at Hoover Dam. She's been following your exploits and has requested that you meet with her. | 168 |
Neutral 50 | You're not officially in the employ of the NCR, so there's nothing forcing you to go, but I'd go see her sooner rather than later. | 169 | ||
Neutral 50 | The Colonel is not someone you want to keep waiting. | 170 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic029 | Keep me in mind for any future assignments. | Neutral 50 | I would, but I'm afraid the rest of the work in my queue pertains to matters I'll have to deal with personally. You do have another option, however. | 171 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic030 | I spoke to the King, and he promised to stop the violence against NCR citizens. | Neutral 50 | That's great to hear. He's got a lot of sway in Freeside, so we can expect a dramatic drop in violence soon. | 172 |
Neutral 50 | Now, you're probably wondering about your reward. This has been something of a hot button topic, so I was able to secure this for you. | 173 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic031 | The King won't deal with the NCR. | Neutral 50 | That's most unfortunate. In this circumstance I've been instructed to send you along to Colonel Moore over at Hoover Dam for further orders. | 174 |
Neutral 50 | The Colonel will likely send you back to Freeside with a squad of armed men, for all the good that will do. | 175 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic032 | I'm still working on it. | Neutral 50 | I understand. Sometimes these things take time. | 176 |
Neutral 50 | Remember, do what you can to gain the man's trust. Then you'll have your chance. | 177 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic033 | <Lie> No, I haven't. | Neutral 50 | It's a beastly place. Poverty is rampant, and all that goes with it - drugs, alcohol abuse, the usual. | 178 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic034 | <Lie> Sure, what about the place? | Neutral 50 | Violence is something of a way of life there, but there's been a disturbing rise in the number of attacks on our people lately. | 179 |
Neutral 50 | More worrying is the fact that our sources suggest the violence is being perpetrated by the gang that runs the place, the Kings. | 180 | ||
Neutral 50 | I need someone to look into this that won't attract attention. Would you be interested? | 181 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic035 | Sounds like you and the Colonel don't get along. | Neutral 50 | Oh, I like the Colonel just fine. She's a good soldier, one of the best. I just don't think her general approach to things is a good fit here. | 182 |
Neutral 50 | See, the Colonel likes to solve things neatly, quickly, and efficiently, through a show of force if possible, and through actual force if necessary. | 183 | ||
Neutral 50 | That won't work here. Unless she plans on killing half the population of Freeside, sending soldiers to the area will only make things worse. | 184 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic036 | That'll show the people in Freeside who's in charge! | Neutral 50 | More like instigate a mass riot. People there already think the NCR is trying to take this place over. We'd only be confirming their fears. | 185 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic037 | Sending NCR soldiers into Freeside would be a bad idea. | Neutral 50 | I completely agree. Even if a riot didn't immediately break out, a line will have been crossed, and we'll have made that many more enemies. | 186 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic038 | So what do you suggest? | Neutral 50 | I'd suggest you speak to Colonel Hsu over at Camp McCarran. He's much more level-headed about this sort of thing. | 187 |
Neutral 50 | He's also in a better position to bargain with the people of Freeside, seeing as how he's in charge of water and power distribution in the area. | 188 | ||
Neutral 50 | Still, I'm only mentioning it as an option. My official orders are to direct you to Colonel Moore. Godspeed. | 189 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic039 | I guess I'll head over to Colonel Moore, then. | Neutral 50 | Wait a moment, if you would. While sending you to Colonel Moore is what I'm officially supposed to do, I'd like to propose an alternative. | 190 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic040 | But you've got another idea. Spit it out. | Neutral 50 | Is it that obvious? You must understand that while Colonel Moore's job is to get things done, my job is to represent the NCR's best interests. | 191 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic041 | The Kings were all killed after the King turned down the ultimatum. | Neutral 50 | I was afraid this would happen. Freeside will be a little more dangerous for a while, but eventually things will die down. | 192 |
Neutral 50 | I expect few people will purposely target NCR citizens for some time to come, which is a relief. | 193 | ||
Neutral 50 | However, the NCR's reputation has taken a huge blow because of this. People are beginning to see not much difference between us and the Legion. | 194 | ||
Neutral 50 | I've been authorized to give you this for your efforts. It's not much, but most of the funds for this operation are now going toward damage control. | 195 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic042 | The King accepted Colonel Hsu's offer of help. | Neutral 50 | Good, good. Hsu's a man you can count on to handle a crisis. I'm just glad that things didn't end in violence. | 196 |
Neutral 50 | Here, this is what remains of the funds initially allocated for this operation. | 197 | ||
The King accepted Colonel Hsu's offer of help. | Neutral 50 | Also, I've been directed to send you on to Colonel Moore at Hoover Dam. She's been following my reports on your exploits with some interest. | 198 | |
Neutral 50 | As I don't have any further assignments for you, I'd recommend going to see her if you need more work. | 199 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic043 | A fight broke out when I presented Hsu's offer. The Kings are all dead. | Neutral 50 | That's terrible. I suppose the violence against our people will stop, though. | 200 |
Neutral 50 | I'll have to spend much of the remaining funds for the operation on damage control, but I can spare this much as compensation for your efforts. | 201 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic044 | I think I'd rather go with the assassination plan. | Neutral 50 | If that's what you prefer, I won't stop you. Just remember to try to find a way to do it that doesn't lead back to the NCR. | 202 |
Neutral 50 | If it just doesn't look possible to make the kill without drawing attention, don't forget there's always the diplomatic approach. | 203 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic045 | Add a little Psycho to his Jet, and he'd have a heart attack. | Neutral 50 | [SUCCEEDED] Remind me never to get on your bad side. If that's true, then yes, that would be a suitable way to get rid of him. | 204 |
Neutral 50 | It looks like you have things well in hand, so I'll leave you to it. | 205 | ||
Maybe the jet will cause his heart to give out. | Neutral 50 | [FAILED] I doubt it. I've seen junkies live for decades on the stuff. You'd be better off asking someone who knows about these things. | 206 | |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic046 | I was hoping you'd know. | Neutral 50 | {Wild Wasteland!}Damn it, I'm an ambassador, not a doctor. You'll have to find some other way. | 207 |
I was hoping you'd know. | Neutral 50 | I'm afraid I can't be much help in this matter. My specialty is people and politics, not medicine. | 208 | |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic047 | I received my orders from Colonel Moore, and am still carrying them out. | Neutral 50 | No doubt Colonel Moore's approach will produce results. Just be ready to duck when the bullets start flying. | 209 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic048 | Tell me more about the King. | Neutral 50 | He's caucasian, in his mid-30s, and extremely charismatic. It's that last part that we're counting on. | 210 |
Neutral 50 | The Kings are a bunch of young hoodlums who aren't inclined to listen to anyone, except him. Get him on our side, and the rest will fall in line. | 211 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic049 | What would I need to do? | Neutral 50 | Go and talk to the King, try to convince him to put an end to this violence. Pacer's a punk, but he won't likely disobey a direct order. | 212 |
Neutral 50 | The King might not be open to the idea at first, so you may have to ingratiate yourself with him. Do whatever it takes. | 213 | ||
Neutral 50 | When it's done, one way or the other, report back here and we'll take it from there. | 214 | ||
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic050 | Guess I'll go have a talk with the King, then. | Neutral 50 | I wish you luck. If you run into some difficulty and think you'd rather just take the shot with Pacer, that's fine too. | 215 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic051 | I received my orders from Colonel Hsu, and am still carrying them out. | Neutral 50 | I trust that Hsu will deal with the matter thoughtfully. Regardless, stay on your toes. There's no telling what will happen. | 216 |
VMS29VStreetDennisCrockerTopic052 | I haven't talked to either Colonel Moore or Colonel Hsu yet. | Neutral 50 | Well then don't waste any more time here. Get going! | 217 |
