| GREETING | GREETING | Neutral 15 | It's a shame you've got to go. But you'll do okay out there, I'm sure. {Firm} |
1 |
| GREETING | Anger 25 | Stop right there! I don't know how you got in here, but... Hold on... {Suddenly realizing who he's speaking to and trailing off.} |
2 | |
| Surprise 50 | Wait a minute! It's you! I hardly recognized you with all the dust and grime from out there. {Surprised and a little pleased to see you.} |
3 | ||
| Happy 50 | Guess that explains how you got that door open. You've got more experience with it than most everyone down here combined. |
4 | ||
| GREETING | Fear 25 | I guess you can see how bad things are down here. Sorry, where were we going? |
5 | |
| GREETING | Fear 10 | Make it quick. |
6 | |
| GREETING | Fear 25 | I heard you were leaving us. That's not really true, is it? |
7 | |
| GREETING | Anger 25 | I really shouldn't be seen talking with you, you know. What do you want? |
8 | |
| GREETING | Happy 25 | I've gotta say, it's a shame to see you go. I still remember when you turned ten. Who could have guessed how you'd grow up? {A little nostalgic, a little melancholy, and just a little bitter.} |
9 | |
| MS16Evacuate1A MS16Evacuate |
The Vault's life support systems have failed. We need to evacuate immediately. | Surprise 50 | What in the world? This is insane! We've got to get people to safety! But where can we go? |
10 |
| Fear 50 | Oh my god... There's only one solution, isn't there? Outside. |
11 | ||
| Neutral 50 | You're gonna make sure we're okay out there, right? |
12 | ||
| MS16Evacuate2A | Just wait for me outside. I'll make sure you're all okay. | Happy 25 | Oh, thank goodness. We'd never make it out there without you. |
13 |
| MS16Evacuate2B | You're on your own. Out there in the Wasteland, it's every man for himself. | Surprise 50 | You're just going to leave us out there? You grew up with us as family, and you're going to leave us to die? |
14 |
| Anger 75 | Fine! Leave, then! We don't need help from your type. Your father would be ashamed of you! |
15 | ||
| MS16GomezAmataA | I mean, I just had a hunch she was in trouble. | Sad 25 | Maybe. She isn't the only one, that's for sure. |
16 |
| Fear 10 | Ever since that night, it's been madness down here. Nothing but trouble. |
17 | ||
| MS16GomezAmataB | That's a risk I'm willing to take. | Sad 25 | Technically, this means I'm supposed to report her. To tell the truth, I'm supposed to report you being here, too. |
18 |
| Happy 10 | But I've been getting mighty forgetful in my old age, you know? We've got more than enough trouble without me adding to it. {Said with a wink - he's not going to turn the player in.} |
19 | ||
| MS16GomezEscort | Can you lead me somewhere? | Surprise 25 | I guess you've had a lot on your mind since you were here last. Where do you want to go? |
20 |
| I need you to lead me somewhere. | Surprise 25 | Where to? |
21 | |
| MS16GomezLeaving | This is too messed up. I'm leaving again. Just pretend I never came back. | Sad 25 | Well, I can't blame you. I'll change the passwords behind you, and we'll figure out a way to work things out for ourselves. |
22 |
| Happy 25 | We've made it on our own for this long. I'm sure this'll blow over in time, too. {Trying to appear happy, but really not sure.} |
23 | ||
| Sad 25 | Best of luck to you out there, kid. Don't worry about us. |
24 | ||
| MS16GomezStopEscort | I can take it from here. | Neutral 35 | If you want to go on alone, it's your call. |
25 |
| Fear 15 | Just... don't stir up too much trouble down here, okay? You may be used to the outside, but this is all the world some of us have. |
26 | ||
| Never mind. | Surprise 5 | Okay, then. {A little confused by the player} |
27 | |
| MS16GomezToAmata | I need to see Amata. Lead me to her. | Neutral 10 | Okay, follow me. |
28 |
| I need to see Amata. Lead me to her. | Fear 10 | We're already headed there. Just stay quiet and follow me. |
29 | |
| Actually, could you escort me to Amata? I need to talk to her about all this. | Fear 35 | <sighs> Okay. Hope no one asks too many questions. |
30 | |
| Could you escort me to Amata? I need to talk to her about all this. | Happy 25 | As chance would have it, she was one of the first people to talk about life outside the vault after you left. No surprise; she always did like you. |
31 | |
| Fear 25 | I hope you can talk some sense into her... or maybe the two of you can come up with some other plan? Just be careful about it. |
32 | ||
| MS16GomezToOverseer | I think I'd like to have a talk with the Overseer. Take me to him. | Neutral 10 | Okay, follow me. |
33 |
| I think I'd like to have a talk with the Overseer. Take me to him. | Fear 35 | We're already headed there. Can't you smell the fire and brimstone? {last part said jokingly, like a slightly scared employee might joke about a scary boss.} |
34 | |
| I think it's time to have a talk with the Overseer. Take me to him. | Surprise 35 | You sure you know what you're doing? |
35 | |
| Fear 25 | On second thought, maybe I don't want to know. Just follow me. |
36 | ||
| I think I'd like to have a talk with the Overseer. Take me to him. | Fear 25 | I hope you know what you're doing. I don't think he's going to be happy to see you. |
37 | |
| Neutral 50 | Follow close to me, and I'll escort you down to him. |
38 | ||
| MS16GomezTrouble1A MS16GomezTroubleA |
What sort of trouble do you mean? | Neutral 25 | Let me bring you up to speed. It seems like it's been a mighty long time. |
39 |
| Sad 50 | The night you and your dad left, everything went crazy. Between the bugs and the confusion, we lost a lot of people. |
40 | ||
| Anger 50 | When your dad opened up that gate, he let loose a whole lot of crap, if you'll pardon my language. {A little embarrassed to curse.} |
41 | ||
| MS16GomezTrouble1B MS16GomezTroubleB |
What's happened down here since I left? | Disgust 50 | Everything went crazy, is what happened. Your dad opened that door, bugs started attacking, and people started going crazy. |
42 |
| Sad 50 | When the smoke cleared, there were a lot of casualties and not many answers. |
43 | ||
| Anger 10 | Didn't help that our doctor had just left, either. {A little bit of a resentful edge to the mention of the doctor - Dad.} |
44 | ||
| MS16GomezTrouble1C MS16GomezTroubleC |
I always knew something would go wrong down here... | Anger 50 | It wouldn't have if your father hadn't ruined everything by opening that door! |
45 |
| Anger 75 | Things were just fine until he decided to take a little walk! Then we had bug attacks, confusion, and chaos! And with no doctor, too! |
46 | ||
| MS16GomezTrouble2A | That was never supposed to happen! That was the Overseer's fault! | Surprise 25 | Really? Well, that would explain a few things, all right. It's a good thing you're here, after all. |
47 |
| Neutral 50 | After that night, a lot of your friends started thinking, "If it's safe to go outside, why stay down here forever?" |
48 | ||
| Neutral 50 | And that's not the sort of thing the Overseer likes to hear. Things have gotten pretty tense. |
49 | ||
| That was the Overseer's fault, and he paid for it that night. | Sad 75 | He wasn't the only one who didn't make it to morning. It was a horrible, horrible night. |
50 | |
| Happy 25 | Believe it or not, it was Allen Mack who really stepped up in the crisis. Wally's dad really saved some lives, and got named the new Overseer for it. |
51 | ||
| Anger 50 | Then, just when some hoped he might open the door for good, he declared martial law and said the place would stay sealed off forever. |
52 | ||
| MS16GomezTrouble2B | Dad would be horrified to know all that... if he were still alive. | Sad 50 | I'm... I'm sorry to hear that. Regardless of how things turned out down here, he was a good friend. I always figured he'd do well outside. |
53 |
| Neutral 50 | Matter of fact, a lot of folks started thinking he had the right idea. He usually did. So if it was safe out there, why stay down here forever? |
54 | ||
| Anger 50 | Well, the Overseer didn't like that one bit, and started cracking down on that sort of thought. Guess he didn't plan on you coming back. |
55 | ||
| Dad would be horrified to know all that... if he were still alive. | Sad 50 | I'm... I'm sorry to hear that. Regardless of how things turned out down here, he was a good friend. I always figured he'd do well outside. |
56 | |
| Neutral 50 | You're not alone in that, though. In all the chaos, Amata lost her dad, too. Lots of us lost family, to tell the truth. |
57 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Now Allen Mack's the Overseer, and he's taking a hard stance against those who want the vault to open again. |
58 | ||
| MS16GomezTrouble2C | Yeah, Dad screwed up all of our lives that day, didn't he? | Sad 25 | To tell the truth, I don't really blame him for all that. I don't know why he left, but I do know he'd never intend for all that to happen. |
59 |
| Neutral 50 | But when the smoke cleared, other people started thinking about opening the vault permanently. And that didn't go down well with the Overseer. |
60 | ||
| Happy 25 | He's been coming down hard on them, and that's where it stands now. At least, until you walked in here. |
61 | ||
| Yeah, Dad screwed up all of our lives that day, didn't he? | Sad 25 | To tell the truth, I don't really blame him for all that. I don't know why he left, but I do know he'd never intend for all that to happen. |
62 | |
| Neutral 50 | Even so, we lost a lot of people that night, including the Overseer himself. He was replaced by Allen Mack, Wally's dad, and things seemed all right. |
63 | ||
| Sad 25 | But some of your friends started talking about opening the vault for good, and he came down hard on them. Things are pretty tense, now. |
64 | ||
| MS16GomezTrouble3A | So what now? | Sad 25 | I probably ought to put you under arrest and take you in to the Overseer, but frankly, I know better than to try that. {emphasis on "supposed", as if he doesn't really agree with it.} |
65 |
| Happy 25 | Meanwhile, some of your old friends think opening the Vault is a good idea. I bet those rebels would like a word with you. Now, more than ever. |
66 | ||
| Sad 10 | Of course, if you want, you can just walk away as if you were never here. Out of respect for your dad, I won't even tell anyone I saw you. |
67 | ||
| MS16GomezTrouble3B | Well, let me through. I've got work to do. | Sad 25 | I can't do that. Not officially, at least. As much as some of the rebels would like to talk with you, the Overseer said you weren't welcome back. |
68 |
| Neutral 50 | Of course, if you survived whatever's out there, none of us could stop you if you really wanted to cause problems. But I'd prefer if you don't. |
69 | ||
| Sad 25 | But out of respect to your dad, I could turn a blind eye. You could slip out and say you were never here - I won't tell a soul. |
70 | ||
| MS16GomezViolence MS16GuardViolence |
There's only one solution, here. Death, and lots of it. You get to be first! | Surprise 75 | What? |
71 |
| MS16GomezWelcomeA | I need to talk with Amata. I got her message. | Surprise 25 | Amata's message? I don't know what you're talking about, but I'd keep that under your hat, for her sake. |
72 |
| Fear 25 | She could get in real trouble if people found out she sent you a message. So could I, just for talking with you now. |
73 | ||
| MS16GomezWelcomeB | I just thought I'd stop back home for a bit. How's the old Vault? | Sad 25 | You just thought you'd pop in? Don't take this the wrong way, but you probably ought to just turn around and not come back. {Incredulous} |
74 |
| Sad 50 | Things... Well, they haven't gone very well since you and your dad left. |
75 | ||
| Sad 25 | This isn't the happy vault you grew up in, anymore. There's real trouble. |
76 | ||
| MS16GomezWelcomeC | Don't mind me. I'm just here to pick up some stuff I left behind. | Anger 50 | This isn't some sort of hotel, you know! You don't just come and go as you please. I thought you were raised better than that! |
77 |
| Sad 25 | Sorry, it's just been pretty rough down here since you and your dad left. |
78 | ||
| Fear 15 | There's real trouble brewing, and you don't want to be a part of it. |
79 | ||
| MS16GomezWelcomeD | Where the hell is Amata? So help me, if you've hurt her... | Surprise 50 | Whoa, whoa, whoa! Calm down, there. Amata's not in any danger. |
80 |
| Fear 15 | I mean, we're all in a sort of a rough patch, but we've weathered worse. |
81 | ||
| Fear 25 | But, sorry to say... If you're back, there's going to be trouble with some folks. And if Amata's wrapped up in it, there'll be trouble for her, too. |
82 | ||
| MS16GoodbyeForever | I can't solve your problems for you. You're on your own. | Sad 25 | And here I was hoping you'd be able to help. Well, I hope you have better luck outside. |
83 |
| Sad 10 | I'm sure we'll find a way to make it through down here on our own. |
84 | ||
| MS16LockdownInfo MS16GomezInfo |
I still don't get what's going on. | Anger 10 | Okay, let's try this slowly. When you and your daddy left, there were problems. Those problems were bad. {As if talking to a child.} |
85 |
| Neutral 50 | Amata and some others said we should try opening the door and going outside more. The Overseer said that was bad, too, and he got angry. {As if talking to a child.} |
86 | ||
| Anger 25 | Now, just about everyone's angry down here. And things are still bad. Really bad. |
87 | ||
| MS16NewOverseer | So, who's the Overseer now? | Sad 25 | That'd be Allen Mack. You remember, Wally's dad. |
88 |
| Happy 10 | He was something else when those fires started burning. In fact, if it weren't for him, we'd have lost a lot more than we did. {A little choked up by the thought} |
89 | ||
| Fear 10 | Afterwards, well, he seemed like a natural for the job of Overseer. He's tough, but I guess we could probably use that right about now. {Has some reservations about whether or not he's doing a good job, but not comfortable with speaking ill of the man} |
90 | ||
| MS16NotLeaving | On second thought, I'm not leaving this place to its fate. | Neutral 50 | That's good to hear, kid. I'll do what I can to keep the door unlocked for you, but the rest is up to you. |
91 |
| MS16WhyNotLeave | Wait, why don't the rebels just leave? | Sad 50 | It's not that they want to leave. It's that they want to open the door and interact with the rest of the world. But that would risk the whole Vault. {A little wary about the plan.} |
92 |
| SpeechChallengeFailure | Just report in that I'm here for one last visit. I'm sure security won't mind. | Sad 25 | You may think Vault security is just bunch of chubby guys in padded helmets, but I promise you, most of them aren't as friendly as you remember. |
93 |
| It wasn't a message from her. I just had a hunch she was in trouble. <Lie> | Sad 25 | Don't worry about it; I won't tell the Overseer if you won't. To tell the truth, I'm glad she did. |
94 | |
| Happy 25 | Heck, maybe you can even put all this trouble to rest once and for all. {A little hopeful.} |
95 |

| GOODBYE | I'll go see what I can do about all of this. | Fear 25 | Well, okay. Just be careful down here. The Vault's changed, I tell you. |
96 |
| I have to go now. | Fear 25 | He's not listening to me. But there's someone else who might be able to convince him. We'll see. |
97 | |
| HELLO | HELLO | Neutral 50 | Nothing new, sir. |
98 |
| HELLO | Neutral 50 | Sir, people are mostly staying quiet. |
99 | |
| MS16AtriumSceneGomez | MS16AtriumSceneGomez | Fear 50 | Uh oh. Wait here. This doesn't look good. |
100 |
| MS16AtriumSceneGomez2 | MS16AtriumSceneGomez2 | Anger 50 | Taylor, stop shooting, damnit! {Furious and terrified that his friend is shooting at his son.} |
101 |
| MS16GomezAtAmata | MS16GomezAtAmata | Fear 10 | Amata's up there, in the clinic with the rest of them. I'd take you closer, but they don't get along with security. Good luck. {Worried, but well-meaning} |
102 |
| MS16GomezAtOverseer | MS16GomezAtOverseer | Fear 25 | Visitor, sir. He wanted to see you, and... well, there's not much I could do to stop him. {Very worried - is sure that something very bad is about to go down.} |
103 |
| MS16GomezAtOverseer | Fear 25 | Visitor, sir. She wanted to see you, and... well, there's not much I could do to stop her. {Very worried - is sure that something very bad is about to go down.} |
