↑ 1.01.1The Courier: "Has your research here turned up anything interesting?" Keely: "A few things here and there, but a lot of the data has been corrupted, and all of the live samples have been contaminated by the spore plants. One interesting thing I found is that one of the chemicals secreted by the spore plants serves as a mild stimulant when ingested by humans. As far as I can tell, it has no side effects or addictive properties, aside from the inherent psychological ones, of course. Now that I think of it, there was a Cpl. Farber back at McCarran who'd probably be interested in it. There's a sample of it around here somewhere." (Keely's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "What were you doing down in that cave?" Keely: "The mantises and spore plants virtually ignored me for most of the time that I've been here. It was only once I began to investigate the fifth level that my presence began to agitate them. I guess I was a little too close to home for them. A few days ago, I was attacked by a large number of mantises and was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I was in that cave. The mantises seem to feed some of their prey to the plants. Fortunately for me, it appears the plants are disinclined to eat ghoul meat." (Keely's dialogue)
↑The Courier: "Why is the door to the entrance locked?" Keely: "Are you kidding me? This place is under quarantine! We can't let a single spore get out of this place if we can help it." (Keely's dialogue)
